RoBBERiEs IN PRINcEToN.-Fro
gentleman who came down on the
Bob-tail" yesterday, we learn that
the burglars who have been providing
around the country, turned up at
Princeton on Tuesday night, and
broke into several houses. The store
of Shannon & Bros. was broken into,
and some $50 or $75 worth of goods
were taken. Mank & Hargrove's store
was also broken into, and goods. the
amount not stated, were stolen. An
effort was also made to break into the
grocery and provision store of Kirtz
& Son, by boring the lock off, but
some one entering by the back door.
it is supposed, frightened the scoun-
drels of. The country is teem-
ing with burglars and prcwling
thieves, and every one who has any
thing to steal should keep careful
guard upon his property. Inhabi-
tants of country villages should espe-
cially be on their guard, as there is
too much risk to run by the scoun-
drels in the larger cities. Hence they
betake themselves to country towns
and farm houses, where they can ply
their vocation with more safety.

CHURCH SoCIABLE AND TEA PAR
TY.-The crowd at Mozart Hall last
night was larger and even more bril-
liant than on the previous evening.
Sparkling beauty was there in great
abundance, with a corresponding at
tendance of the lords of creation.
The supply of comestiblcs was appa-
rently inexhaustable, and of the most
exquisite quality. Every one present
seemed blest with good appetite
and anxious to contribute literally
for the good of the church" The
large hall was at times almost un-
pleasantly full. Many representatives
from ohter churches were present,
and the genial social feeling that pre-
vailed was happy illustration of
"How sweet and how pleasant it is
for brethren to dwell together in uni
son"
OF those excellent ladies, who were
not only ornamental but highly use
full, Mrs. james Laughlin, Mrs. H.
7. Dexter, Mrs. James Minor, Mrs.
Duke Nickelson. Mrs Fred. Huston,
and many others whose names we do
not know, were especially conspicu-
GUS, and added much to the cheerful
ness of the entertainment. The re-,
ceipts must have been quite large last
night.
The lunch yesterday was most ex-
quisite, and we are glad to say, was
largely attended. Every delicacy that
the most fastidious appetite could de-
sire, was served out with liberal hand,
together with many substantials. The
lunch will be repeated this morning,
and we hope to see still larger crowd
present than on yesterday. Every
business man and every other man in
the city should go and take lady or
two with him. There has certainly
been no pleasanter entertainment in
our city during the past several years.
New Advertisement. u We take
pleasure in directing the attention of
business men and shippers to the new
advertisement of that sterling and
long established firm, Cox & Humph-
rey, commission merchants and wharf
boat proprietors, of Evansville and
Memphis. More reliable or pleasant
gentlemen to deal with cannot be
found On the continent. They are
prompt and trustworthy.

For the Journal.
Where are Those Lectures?

A question about which We, who
hold tickets for the course promised
us by the E. L. Association, may be-
gin, with reason, to feel some anxiety.
1t is reported the committee have
been disappointed in their me n. But
surely the available list has not been
exhausted.
The present winter has been one,
all through the West, of unusual in
terest in this particular. 1t has at
tracted a number of eminent persons
who seldom get so far from home. We
have heard of them all about US. Has
there been any effort to illure them
here? Among these are. Emerson,
Git is said his last Western tour,
Wendell Phillips, Grace Greenwood,
Horace Greeley, Dr. Bellows, and
others. We have, also. in the West,
especially in Cincinnati and Chicago,
number of persons prominent in the
lecture field, and who are always in
teresting.
Let us know, gentlemen. what you
are doing. Remember you are re-
sponsible for our intellectual enter
tainment. Already the time is at
hand when these visitants, like the
birds in their season, forsake these
haunts and migrate to their native
ATTITUDES. G.

MORE OF THE FLooD.-The great
food of waters continues to increase,
and is assuming most grand proper
tions. 1t is painful to contemplate
the vast suffering. loss of property,
and perhaps of life that will ensue in
the great Southwest. Whole dis
tricts In Arkansas and Western Loui
siana are already devastated, and
the calamity is still spreading.
higher home we have melancholy
accounts of the inconvenience, suffer-
ing and destruction that prevail. In
the lower part of this county, in what
is known as the Bayou, families are
driven from their homes. Smoke
houses-some of them with full
stock of proyisions-and other out
buildings have been swept away.
Many families have moved across to
Henderson to find home and shelter,
and two ferry boats were engaged on
Monday and Tuesday In ferrying over
stock. Much stock has been lost, and
vast quantities of corn have been
submerged and destroyed. We heard
yesterday Of large pile of corn in
the timber where boats cannot reach
it, which was nearly covered with
water.
Gloomy and sad as is the present
aspect of affairs, our special dispa tches,
received yesterday, and intelligence
from other sources, tend to increase
that gloom. By a gentleman who
come a passenger by the Tarascon,
yesterday, we are informed that at
Troy the river had risen q inches
during Friday night, and was rs
inches higher than in February. At
Lewisport it was l foot above the
February rise At Rockport and
Greensboro it was IS inches higher
than in February, and had risen 7
inches in II hours.
By telegraph we learn thatsit was
rising an inch an hour at Louisville
and Cincinnati at noon yesterday, and
with still greater rapidity at all points
above Cincinnati to Wheeling. Yes
terday at noon the roots of the Old
Elm, the last land mark on our shore,
was covered with water, and the en-
bankment around it was washing out,
and portion of the wall had given
away. We should be grieyed to see
the old relic of the past washed away.
The floods of ages have beat against
its roots, and it still stands as ven-
cradle Patriarch, or as some aged
chieftain, who has buried all his tribe
or kindred.
From the Tennessee River we have
like gloomy accounts. The officers of
the Sam. Orr inform us that the river
is at flood hight, and that house was
washed away, on Sunday, from East
port.

AN ITEM SPoILED.-As we were
passing a public house yesterday, we
heard loud noise as of men quarrel
ing. Looking in at the door, we
found two young men, Invested of
their coats, standing close together
and vigorously shaking their fists in
each others face, and each daring the
other to pitch in. We thought there
was to be regular old fashioned
game of fisticufs, but, after watching
for some time, we came to the conclu-
sion that the fighting would be post
poned, and left, thus losing a first
class item.

LISTING IND PRAYER.

Gov. Hawley, day or two before the cleo
ton, issued proclamation to which unwel-
come, though not unexpected events, have
given especial significance. 1t appointed Fri
day, April 10, day of public Fasting, Humilia-
ton, aud Prayer, and we sincerely hope the
people OF Connecticut will observe it. Humilia-
ton they cannot help-what they did on Mon
day ought tOkeep them humble for months.
Fasting might clear their minds, and more
than one day should be devoted to Prayer, for
there is no State which has more to pray for.
Therefore, we advise oil well-disposed per-
sons in Connecticut to heed the advice of
their Governor. and suspeuding their usual
"labors," to engage in the Unusual labor of
serious meditation and prayer that they may
lead better lives.
The Republicans might very properly pray
for enlightenment sufficient to prevent any
mistakes like that of 1865, when the defeat
of impartial suffrage was the suicide OF the
party Some of their leaders might pray for
perception of the truth that justice is always
policy The people generally might pray for
sense enough to keep good Governor when
they have one, and patience to endure the
prospect Of Democratic administration for
the good behavior of three Democratic Con-
gressmen, and for the misguided people who
voted for them. Universal supplications should
be made for wisdom equal to that OF the North
Carolina negroes. UnquestiOnably such prayers
are needed, and they might be continued, not
only on the 10Th, but for the rest of the year,
until Republican majority in 1863 removes the
painful humiliation of such Republican defeat
as that of Monday.

TIE nErrnfts1H Y11ffRET TIE sourH:

The Freedmen, at every meeting they have
held since the Military bill became a law, have
shown that they know what citizenship means,
and that in accepting its privileges they are
ready to discharge its duties In taking the
ballot they have proved that they understand
how TO use it. The power they have suddenly
gained they show no disposition to abuse, and
there is not solitary instance in which colored
speakers have appealed to their people to re-
venge at the polls the wrongs of the slave
mart, the whipping post, or the branding
iron. They do not speak of the laws which
deprived them of education, of marriage, OF
property, nor of the Fugitive Slave law, nor of
the New Orleans massacre. Their theme is the
freedom they have, not the Slavery from which
they have been redeemed. But, while they are
ready to forgive, they have not forgotten
while they are willing and anxious to join with
their old masters in rebuilding the prosperity
of the South, they are resolved not to become
in liberty what they were in bondage-tbe

The vote cast at the Connecticut election
for Governor as was expected. was very
heavy. In the three counties of Windham,
Hartford, and New-Haven, which together poll
about one-half of the aggregate vote of the
State, there was an increase of 2,043 voters. A
similar increase in the other counties would
have sweled the aggregate vote to 10000. 1t
seems however, that there was de-
crease in most of the other counties,
and that the total vote will not much
exceed $4,000. The increase in the Re-
publican vote in the three counties was 1853.
The Democratic vote in the cities of Hartford
and New-Haven had been swelled during the
few weeks preceding the election by an
unusually large number of naturalized
citizens, andthus their increase exceeded by
more than one thousand that of the Republicans.
Our latest advices state that we have both
branches of the State Legislature. In the
Senate the Republican majority is one, and
in the House thirty-five. Last year the
Republican majority in the Senate was five, and
in the House forty-six.

holders. With the power to vote, they
exercise the right to think, and those who do
not already see the beginning of new politi-
cal era in the South are blind to the moral of
the great meetings at Raleigh, Savannah,
Montgomery, Macon, and the many county
meetings held in almost every Southern state.
OF equal importance is the readiness of
the loyal white men TO unite with the
colored men on terms of absolute equality.
At Raleigh this was especially evident In
other States the meetings have declared
Republican principles but the State COnven-
ton of North Carolina embodied them. White
and black delegates had equal share in its de-
alterations and Offices 1t may be held certain
that in every Southern State the platform of
the North Carolina Convention Will be adopted,
and that the Republican party III the South VIII
know no distinction of race or color at the polls
or in civil Offices The Freedmen would not
take less the loyal white men we hope would
scorn to offer less In the North the RepuDll-
can party is pledged to this crced-impartlal
suffrage in every State of the Union. What is
good for North Carolina must be good for New
York; the mistake of Connecticut will not be
repeated At Raleigh the Convention organ
lied the Republican party in the State; at
Savannah, Montgomery, Macon, Jacksonville,
Charleston, they adopted resolutions equally
decisive, but left formal organization to future
State Conventions. 1t is in the triumph OF
this party which knows no difference between
man and man, that the South will be redeemed.
Whatever party seeks to perpetuate distinctions
of race or color in the South aims at the per-
petuation of jealousy, and strife, and poverty
The negro is ready TO do his duty, and what
ever doubt may have existed of the readiness
Of the white man to accept absolute political
and civil equality is lessened by the example
of such men as Gen. Dockery in North Caro-
lima, and Gov. Patton in Alabama.

Important news has been received in Wash
ingtOn from the interior of Mexico The bat
tie at Queretaro had not yet taken place, but
the forces Of Macmillan were cut off from
communication with the City Of Mexico, and
hemmed in on all sides. The native troops
were greatly demoralized, and we're going over
to the Liberals whenever they had a chance.
The siege of Pueba had even begun. The
Imperial force there, as well as in the City of
Mexico is small, and it is regarded as certain
that these cities, as well as Vera Cruz, will sur
render as soon as Macmillan is defeated.
