Mr. Nnllnndighnm at Eaton.

Owing to the temporary suspension of
the EnPRE. we have not before been. ablq
to allhddto thc stories in.the Republican
papers ii regard % the assault upon DIR,
vallamligham at Eaton. We copy the FOL
lowing from the Cincinnati Enquirer of the
18th. aud are authorized to say that all other
statements in reference to II arc wholly
untrue: t.|
The statements made by the Commercial
of Yesterday. in regard to the assault upon
Mr. IVallandigham, at Eaton, areI with q
single exception. wholly untrue. The te;Il
facts are. simply, that Mr.. V. went on Nom
day night Ia Eaton, to argltea case in courts
and did argue II on Tuesday, remaining 10
town MI day. and at the hotel till some time
after dark He went directly to the depot
and the train being behind time, remained
at or near the depot for an hour when at-
ter he was upon the ears. some cowardlY
Iuiiians threw stones. The train remained
Il quarter of an hour afterwartiat the depot
nothing further occurred, except loud talk
and threats outside Mr.N! came down TO
this city the same night, and remained tig
last evening. The affair was disgraceitl
enough to the town aud all concerned in it
aS it actually occurred; but, even with the
/ exaggerated statement Of il, the COnD'er-
cidi adds not one word of condemnation.
We would suggest to our friends ut Eaton
TO obtain a list of the miserable drunken
scrOundrels, and their still meaner instiga-
tors. who were concerned in this outrage
and keep them for future reference. We
( have not a doubt that most of them will be
applicants before Mr.. Nallandigham in the

BY the burning of the ship Harry of the

Liverpool a loss of 3,343 bales of cotton has
been sustained, by parties not named in

A brick making machine is in successful
operation near Cincinnati, on the Kentucky
side. which turns out ready for burning, no
less than 200 per minute. The capacity of
the machine. it will be seen is 1900 per
hour, or 10000 per day of ten hours work.
The brick, on leaving the mold, require
very little drying, from the fact that the
immense pressure put upon them drives
almost the entire moisture out.

The Negro Affections i'm Illinois,
White Labor Ignored.

The Illinois state Register, in the follow
ing very brief sentence, draws a picture Of
the present social and political condition of
the laboring people of that State, which no
doubt is truthful. and a sorry picture it
certainly is. 1t might be drawn for a good
portion of Indiana as well as Southern
Ohio without being much exaggerated:
j.. Negroes now swarm our State They are
doing the rough wood work and labor on
buildings they occupy the places of labor
on the farm; they are employed as garden
ers. as laborers. as mechanics in many in
stances. In fine, they are filling up all the
places formerly occupied by white men,
l,when this State belonged 20 white men.
And why are they so employedy Simply
because they viii work for less, can live on
less, and require less than the white men.
Who brought them here? They were in
Idueed to come here to degrade white labor
and to take the the employment Temporal
rily made vacant by the absence of the
white soldier. The leaders of the super
loyal party, the pretended lovers of the sol
dier, but the real lovers of the negro, the
stay at-homes the veterans on paper, men
who never smelt powder, men who never
saw battlefield, these are they who
brought into our State the swarm of hun
CRY, semi-barbarious negroes. And this
was done in violation Of the fundamental
law of the land. and in defiance of the ex-
pressed viii of the people. taken on dis
tinct issue presented in June, 1862. 1t
should not be forgotten that the late CON
stitutional convention submitted to the
vote of the people these propositions: For
or against exclusion of negroes from the
State of Illinois For or against the right
of negroes voting or holding Office and for
or against laws giving effect to the said two
last named provisions. The people and the
soldiers voted on each of these propositions
The majority for exclusion of negroes from
the State was one hundred thousand fue hun
dred. The majority for prohibiting negroes
| from voting was one hundred and Setehty-sir
| tHousdnd ttco hundred and seuenty-one. And
the majority for enacting laws giving
effect to the two last named provisions. was
one hundred and fttg.four thousand .fre han
dred and tloenty.tolT
In defiance of this unparalleled express
sion of public sentiment, the abolitionists
have been and are now deluging this fair
State with waves of negroes. These eat up
| the white mans substance, they fill the
several avOcations of life, they degrade
white labor, cheaper respectable but hard
pursuits, and send the soldier penniess
| away from his former business ~ Hl

was the fatal mistake, in manifest dis
obedience of orders and military sense,
that induced the attack of the enemy.

they had time to realize their situation.
The panic that followed gave the enemy
the advantage, which he followed up on
the first day with terrible slaughter, drlv-
ing our men to the river bank and into
the stream. BUELL's opportune arrival
on the eve of that day and the mastery
fighting of his army on the next, turned
defeat into victory and saved GRANT and
his army from humiliation, These are
the facts of history, substantiated by the
official documents.
