VI. .PERPHOSPHATE OF LIME.-The best
suuerph osphate yet offered to the farmer, pos,
sessing ali the activity of Peruvian Guano, but

with its soluble bone phosphate of lime, cannot
fail to render it very valuable as q fertilizer

The Sentinel-oa- the Border COM
mends to our especial attention some
doggerel headed "Oh, I'm a Good
Old Rebel" which appeared in that
paper of yesterday, and which was
written, it says, by some gentleman (O
in Henderson. 1t proclaims the
poem to bea little the richest that it
has ever seen, on the rebel order. p"
Its richness consists simply in the
boastings of the wretch that he has
killed chance of Yankees" mean
ing, of course, Union soldiers, and
that he would have liked to kill some
more. We copy one verse of the dog
gerel as a sample of the whole:
''T7ree hundred thousand Yankees,
Are stiff in Southern dust;
We got" three hundred thousand
Before they conquered" us.
They died of Southern fever,
And Southern steel and shot;
L wish they were three million,
Instead of what we 'sgot."

ed to do ample justice in the case,
and having satisfied them that Harri-
son was not at all implicated in the
crime for which he was arrested, he
was Immediately released, and is

pears to have been case of mistaken
identity. The agent from Missis-
sippi who took Harrison, appears to
have acted in good faith, but it is
thought that certain detectives en-

spect the rights of an innocent man.
The following from the Macon (Miss.)
Beacon, March 2, 1867, indicates
very desirable and commendable
state of feeling in that locality:
SOUTHERN EXPRESS VS.. HARRISON.
We have already stated that Daniel
Harrison was arrested in Indiana,
brought to this place, lodged in Jail
under the charge of being accessory
to the robbery of Adams Express Of
fee the night of the LIST of January.
Several respectable citizens of In
diana appeared at the trial as witnesses
in his favor. The Legislature of that
State passed an act appropriating a
certain sum for his relief, and Gen
eral Mansfield, of Indiana, was
employed to assist Messrs. Dismukes,
and Collins in his defense. The pris-
oner was brought before Justices Rice
and Ferris on Wednesday last, which
day and Friday were consumed in
taking down testimony. Friday morn
ing the counsel for the prosecution
admitted that the charges alleged
against the prisoner could not be sus-
tanned, and accordingly the Court
ordered his discharge
1t was fully shown to the Court, by
reliable testimony that Harrison had
never been in the town of Macon un-
til brought here under arrest, and his
neighbors, who had known him from
infancy, swore that on the 1st day of
January, the day the robbery was COM
So clear was the proof of his inno-
cence of the charge against him. that
the counsel for the prosecution moved
his discharge before the defense had
finished the examination of its wit
nesses.
The case attracted some attention5
and Harrison, through General Mans
field, received the protection of the
Great Seal of Indiana.
The counsel for the prosecution
moved to dismiss the prisoner, and
congratulate him and his friends up
on the full and complete vindication
of himself.
Gen. Mansfield then rose and said,
in behalf of himself and the people
whom he came to represent, he re-
turned thanks for the fair, speedy and
impartial trial which had been granted
the accused.

The citizens of Evansville were
yesterday morning surprised by the
announcement in the JOURNAL that
Mr.. A. I. WHITTLEsEY had been
confirmed by the Senate of the United
States as Postmaster for this city.
The Democracy especially the por-
ton of it known during the past five
years as the Peace party were
greatly elated, and the Republicans,
without exception, highly indignant.
1t is not our purpose at this time to-
speak of the Appointee; he is well
known to the citizens of Evansville,
and especially to the readers of the
JOURNAL. Should he enter upon the
duties of this most responsible and
lucrative of all the offices in Southern
Indiana, we will give him hearty
support in all matters relating to mail
operations, which are so intimately

and we have heard no Impotence ex-
pressed on their part about the matter.

informed our cotemporary sometime
ago, the Union party will present a
solid front to the allies of the Rebel

connected with the business interests
of the city; and will do justice to him
as public officer.
But we have something to say of the
manner of his confirmation, so un-
looked for and so inappropriate. 1t
is customary in the Senate (the Re-
publicans being in the majority, to
refer all nominations by the President
from the First District of Indiana,
which is represented by Democrat,
to the Republican Senator; and with
out his endorsement it would hardly be
reported upon formally from commit
tee, and most certainly be rejected by
the Senate. Mr.. WHITTLEsEY's NOM
ination was acted upon by the Senate
during the, last hours of the Thirty
Ninth Congress, while Hon. HENRY
S. LANE was acting as Senator from
Indiana; Ex-Governor MORTON not
yet having taken his seat.
Sometime since it was found
that Mr.. LANE, in view of his
early retirement, was losing his
interest in matters relating to his
constituents, especially of po-
litical character. twas even broadly
limited that he had promised Senator
HENDRICKS his acquiescence in
the confirmation of a list of
his personal friends nominated by
the President, Mr.. WHITTLEsEY
among the number. While it was
hardly believed that he would be so
recreant to his party and his friends,
who had labored for his advancement
to place Of such high trust and re-
sponsibility, steps were at once
taken to prevent such contingency;
and although Mr.. LANE was fully ad-
vised before of Mr.. WIS public and
private record as a politician, such.
facts were presented to him by the
most prominent and responsible men in
the Republican party of Indiana, that
it was thought there was no danger
whatever of his confirmation. In
the meantime, the Tenure of Office
bill was passed, Mr.. LANE voting for
it and advocating its enactment; Sc
curing, as all supposed, the Evansville
Post Office in the hands of as most
faithful officer and devoted Republi-
can, Mr.. JAMES FL. McNEELY,
Under all the circumstances, the
confirmation of Mr.. WHITTLEsEY was
fragrant and unpardona abandon
ment of a friend and an unwar-
rantable neglect, if not betrayal,
of party interests. This is the
mildest language in which we
can express the universal indigna-
ton Of the Republicans of this city.
Had HENRY S. LANE done his duty,
we are satisfied the confirmation could
have been prevented. We fear many
of the combinations passed with his
endorsement or acquiesence for other
parts of the State are of the same
character. However it may be else
where, he retires from public life,
where he has been highly honored by
a too partial constituency, with few
regrets on the part of the Republi-
cans of the First District of Indiana;
who hope and believe that his success
sor will be true to the interests of his
friends aud party. Did we consult
the general expression of the public,
we would use more severe language
on this subject, but the above com
paratively temperate statement of the
case will, we hope, suffice. 1
