raj expense account of the city-and twice
as much as the entire expense Of the Fire

MARKET REPORT. - Our usual
weekly review of the city markets
will be found in the commercial col
umns, this morning.
We have at different times been re-
quested by a number of merchants to
publish this Report weekly in the
form of Letter Price-Current, with
business card of merchants, for pri-
vate circulation. We are gratifed to
have such general satisfaction with
the character Of these reports, and
will be pleased to comply with the
wishes of our mercantile friends in
this regard, if a sufficient number
will order them to warrant us in the
trouble and expense of publication.

talked good deal and was very free
with his suggestions and recommends
tons during the war. but then it all
didn't amount to much, and when 1t
came to hard fighting the little Lou
isianian was not near so formid-
able as many others. 1t will
be remembered, too, that BEAURE-
GARD made the celebrated recommen-
dation that the Union soldiers should
always be called Abolitionists in or
der to prejudice the people of the
Northern States against them. That
advice the Democratic party appro-
priated, and is making the most pos
sible out of it to-day. We think it
has proved better capital to trade on,
than the celebrated Philadelphia Con-
vention, of which the editor of the
Times was so conspicuous an orna-
ment For this alone, the Democracy
of Washington ought to devote es-
pecial attention to its author. We
are sorry to see the Times envious of
his popularity with the Washington

light of Mr.. NlILLER'S discovery, Tor
the future of our State. We were
under the impression that consider
able advance was being made by the
people in intelligence and morality,
but it seems that such is not the case
because Universalism does not pros
per, and Universalism is the measure
of intelligence. What is still more
disheartening, the people manifest no
particular intention of becoming Uni
versalists. This, however, may be
because they are not aware of the mo-
mentous consequences depending up
on that particular form of faith.
When they learn that they must ac-
cept the principles of Universalism to
become intelligent, perhaps they may
be more ready to accept the principles.
If, however, they remain Obdurate, as
we fear they Will, Indiana must henca-
forth consent to be ranked among the
non-intelligent.
Applying the new standard to other
States we were under the impression
that they, too, would falls hort of the
measure, but Mr.. MILLER does not so
specify them. This omission on his
part is to be regretted. On no point
are the people of this country more
wide awake than on increasing intel
ligence. Hence, were all the deficient
States notified of their shortcomings
they could at once take steps to re-
move the difficulty, and at the same
time spread abroad the principles of
UniVersalism. We trust, hereafter,
Mr.. MILLER will not be selfish and
give Indiana so much the start of
other States in so important a parti-
cular, lest our rapid growth in Uni
versalism make them jealous of our
superior intelligence.

Hard on the HOOsier.

We find in the Chicago Journal of
Friday last pretty full report of the
proceedings of the Convention of
Universalists Of the Northwest, at
that time in session in that city. We
find, also, in the proceedings the fol-
lowing choice paragraph, which VIC
copy for the amusement of our read
ers:
by request, Rev. III. J. Miller, of
Indiana, Financial Secretary of the
Conference, made some remarks ex-
planatory Of the objects of the Con-
ference, as relating to the matter of
denominational extension. The
speaker stated that Indiana was
hard field for the growth of Univer-
salism. The people of that State, as
a general rule, were not sufficiently
intelligent to understand and adopt
the principles of Universalism. And
furthermore, the people there started
wrongly in matters of theology, and
it was difficult to bring them right.
But he had no idea that the Univer-
salists of Indiana would be crowded
Oukof the State, as denomination !;
he had too much faith iu the power
of truth to believe that"
Mr.. MILLER's theory is, that the
acceptance of Universalism is the
measure of intelligence. A man may
be posted in history, philosophy. all
the sciences and theology, and yet if
he does not accept the Universalist
creed he is ignorant as boor. This
short but comprehensive definition of
intelligence awakes US to the impor-
tant fact that our common schools
are far from accomplishing the great
end for which they were designed-to
make the masses of the people intel
ligent-because they do not ineulcate
belief in the doctrine of universal
salvation, and everything short of
that is necessarily of low order of
intelligence. Many years of hard
study might be saved the boys and
girls by matchmaking them with the
principles of Universalism immedi-
ately on entering the schools. To
insure Mr.. MILLER's idea of intel
ligence, it would be fair to insist that
the principles of Universalism be
introduced as early as in the primary
schools, for so soon as the children
accepted the creed, they would have
attained to the full standard of intel
ligence, while. stopping short of that,
years of hard study would amount to
little.

Terrible Storm at GreencaStIe,
GREAT DESTRUCTION OF PROPERTY

width. 1t came in a southwestern
direction, tearing down fences and
unroofng small houses, till it struck
the college campus, and there it pros
trated number of trees, blew all the
windows out of one side of the col
lege, cracked the ceiling terribly,
and strewed the whole building with
broken glass and window sash. The
whirlwind then proceeded on its work
of destruction-tore off the whole top
of the old Seminary building, piling it
full of ruins. It then struck Simpson
Chapel, blew out window, filed the
house with wind. which lifted the
whole roof and ceiling off. The rubbish
from the Seminary and Chapel was
piled upon Mr. DUoKwoRTH's house,
which was also torn to pieces. All
his out-houses were blown away.
The family were all in the house,
but fortunately no one was hurt.

On the Goth of October an item
appeared in the JOURNAL giving an
account of robbery near Louisville,
on the Shelbyville Pike. In the same
item, the opinion was also expressed
that there were too many unrecon-
structed rebels in that State for the
suppression of villainy. The Ovens
boro Monitor, in reply to this item.
clips a paragraph from the New
Albany Ledger, announcing forty-six
divorce cases for trial and sundry
other rascalities as on the docket of the
Floyd Circuit Court. Under the i'm
preston that it was making a strong
point. the Monitor then proceeds to
say that it would be no exaggeration
to assert that there are more rob-
Berries. murders, rapes, and outlawry
committed in Vanderburgh and Floyd
Counties in one month than there are
In the entire Commonwealth Of Ken
lucky in six months. 1t is further
more of the opinion that few un-
reconstructed rebels vould amaz-
ingly improve the morals of thi5 State.
Now, VIC respectfully demur to &C
cepting Floyd County as a sample
county for our State. L is an in
tensely Democratic County-wo 30
during the war. and is 90 ejill. Ne5
Albang is withering away Ia the
shadow Of Louisville, and for years
has been subservient to the unrecon-
structed rebels of the latter city.
Hence. it is not surprising that in
Floyd County the applications for di
vorce multiply, chicken thieves
abound, and that the docket of
single court should be numbered
with one hundred and ninety eight
criminal cases, and two hundred and
fourteen civil cases. Once in while
our own city is visited by the despera-
does who have made Louisville and
its environs notorious, but a healthy
public sentiment here, and a little
watchfulness on the part of our peo-
pie, soon makesIthe place too hot for
them, and they retire to more con-
genial quarters up the river. IF New
Albany could only shake off the Ken
lucky influence and discard her bogus
Democracy, we would have hopes of
the clearing of her criminal docket.
So long, however, as she is joined to
her idols, we have no hopes of a
reformation. But Kentucky papers
must remember that Floyd County,
with its large and continuous Copper
head majorities, is not sample coun-
ty of either the politics or morals of
this State. The Monitor will have to
try again.
