Ia Gent SWlndle,

Our readers have been repeatedly
cautiohed against lottery schemes and
giftenterpFises in other cities. This
naefningl we call attentionto a swim
die whose headquarters are in our
own city, Who the parties are we
do not know. We do know, however,
that they have rented a box in our
Post-ofice, and are scattering their
circulars through the country by the
Thousand, More; than that they are
fndingdupes, and no doubt are reap
ing rich harvest. The handbills in
form the people that $4,000, $4,000
or $4,000 may be secured for ten
cents. Parties are requested to pur-
chase certificates for ten cents. The
certificates purport to give an interest
in the Great Union Dollar Sale
Company The sale and awards are
to be returned by mail. The prizes
are said to number 1856, 600 They
consist Of money, building lots, pianos.
gold. watches, jewelry, &c. Persons
are requested to send their money and
one postage stamp to Star Box 8, Post
Office, Evansville. We have no hesi-
tation in expressing it as our belief
that every one who invests ten cents
in this way is swindled to that extent.
We are aware that persons are apt to
say. Well, it is only ten cents, any
way, and something may come of It. !"
When hundreds say the same, and
each forwards his ten cents, the
amount in the aggregate is very large.
Persons wishing to see the circulars
can do so by calling at our Office. We
do not know but that the police
might interest themselves with profit
to the public at large. Es.s .-..-

ance had. taken place among the
rocks 10 the bed of the stream; ai:&
it is conjectured that the river may
have broken into the limestone ridge
below, or in some way undermined
the front walls of the cataract. If
this surmise- is true one, some tear
ing away of the rocks may take place,
by which the existing horseshoe may
be effaced and a foaming slope of
rapids left instead of it.

Another Territory.

In Congress, on Monday, the initia-
tory steps were taken for the forma-
ton of a new Territory, to be called
Wyoming, and to include the wonder
full city of Cheyenne and the Sweet
water gold mines. The proposed Ter
ritory lies between the 104th and
10th meridian, and the 41st and 44th
degrees of latitude. being parallelo-
gram, except only slight gag" of
half degree in the northwest corner.
The present population of the Terri
tory is about fifteen thousand, against
a couple of hundred six months ago.
There are abundant natural products,
and considerable arabic land availa-
BILE. Gold is found in large quantities
in the mountains. Coal, Of very
good quality, is opened in the Black
Hills. Stone, clay for brick, timber.
etc, etc., are abundant. The Terri
tory has this advantage over Colora-
do on the south. and Montana on the
north, that it lies across the only
available highways east and west be-
tween the Both and 47th parallels.

We would suggest to the ardent

that they detail gun squad to get up

UNBEcoMING CoNDUCT OF A ST.
PREME COURT JUDGE.-For two days
past, there has been considerable
talking in certain official circles about
the conduct of one of the Supreme
Court Judges, who, of late, has been
very intimately associated with Jerry
Black, Sharkey and other gentlemen
of that school. A few evenings since,
at dinner party, this Justice became
very much excited in talking OF the
present political situation, and de-
clared, in loud tones, to the company,
that the. Supreme Court would GER

1T is gratifying to see that there is
a determined movement in Congress
to makea sweeping reduction in the
public expenditures. The estimates
of JoHNsoN's Cabinet officers will be
materially cut down, and some of the
needless offices abolished. IF JOHN
SON and his Conservative and
Copperhead friends could have their
own way about it, they would con
tinue to make the expenses of the
Government as high In time of pea &c
as they were IN war times. We are
glad that Congress is at last directing
its attention to the necessity and duty
of retrenchmentland economy. -
