THE Democratic organs of this city
are very clear inE their fconxictions
that the Union men ought to discard
party ties, and vote for Independent
and Copperhead candidates. Their
expressed sentiments on that subject
will of itself be sufficient to make
every trle Union Republican work
the harder for, the regular !, ticket,
Unionj men are not accustomed to
following the advice of the Copper
heads.

age the faithful workers of the, Re
publican party, that the effect viii be
almost irreparable in the coming
State and National elections. From
all parts of the District we are receiv-
ing inquiries as to the prospects of the
City election. The Republicans of
the other Counties regard this con-
test as by no means local one in its
results. In the next Congressional
race, as goes Evansville, SO goes the
First District. Before, we were con-
tending against majority of from
three to five thousand. Now we have
a clear Republican majority. Shall
we throw away this opportunity?
Shall we, by losing control of this
City, abandon Vanderburgh County
to the Democratic party? Shall we,
by our indifference here, miss the OPP
portunity to elect loyal member of
Congress?
The leaders of the Democracy. 1.-THE
2hited sepulchres of the party,
openly acknowledge that, as an or
ganization, they are hopelessly in the
minority. At the public meeting at
the Court House last week. promi-
nent politicians declared that the Re-
publican party had a majority in the
city of at least three hundred votes
They do not attempt to conceal the
fact that their only hope of success is
i'm creating dissatisfaction in the
Union ranks. Let no man who loves
his country, who subscribes to the
principles of Republicanism. who
hates rebellion and its sworn ally,
Copperheadism, give them any aid,
comfort, or encoura cement whatever.
Let us stand together as party in
support of the Union city and town
ship ticket, and Vanderburgh County
and the First District is safe for the
Union cause. ( 49,, ~

1t is enough to say of them that they
are so thorough that no student who
has been idle can pass through them
without manifesting the fact, and any
one who wilt attend them will be con-
WINGED that there has been great faith
fulness and success on the part of the
faculty, and that AnearlyiaU the stu
dents are making commendable pro-
gress. There is hardly such a thing
known as students going home before
examination A few facts will indi-
cate the grade and condition of the
University. Its course of study is
fully as extensive as ETa5e or Harvard,
or any of the old Eastern Institutions.
There are s Professors in the Faculty,
and, SO far, $50 students have entered
college this year. The average at
tendance has been about <300., The
regular classes number "a Seniors, %
/ Juniors, 35 Sophomores, So Fresh
men, and any Number in the prepare
tory classes. Therc3is a constant in
crease in the number Of regular class
ical students. A large number of the
States. West, South and North, are
represented in the classes .olist iasl
The mqaliaess and religious senti-l
ments Of the students are remarkable.
About half the whole number are
protested Christians More than 100
arc past q years of age, and all the
rest, save FIVE or six, are past
10, And, as items bearing on the
Agricultural College question, t,oo
fhsfds, or over two hundred, are from
the industrial pursuits, and expect to
return to them. About one-half the
students are supporting themselves
entirely, and paying all their expenses
by their own labor-among them a
good proportion of the best minds in
