NAPoLEoN's IDEA OF CIVILIZATION. The
Emperor of France addressed the soldiers in
camp at Chalons yesterday, the anniversary Of
the battle of Solferino. He adjured them to
preserve the remembrance of the battles fought
by their fathers for the reason that French
victories constitute ''the history Of the pro-

The Approaching Virginia Election.

We publish this morning an interesting let
ter from R. NJ. T. Hunter, of Virginia, on the
approaching Virginia reconstruction election,
which is appointed for July 6. Mr.. Hunter, it
will be remembered, chafes under the new
dispensatiOn, and sighs over the woful over
throw of the old order of things, but wisely,
nevertheless, recommends the unreconstructed
yirginians of the old State rights school to &C
cept the situation and rally in their strength to
recover the State-the first essential step to
restoration Of sef-government There is fair
prospect too, of decisive conservative vic
tory The registered white voters of the State
outnumber the blacks, if We are not mistaken,
by over twenty thousand, and to all appear
ances the two parties are pretty closely dl-
vided upon the line Of color, the white party
and the black party, the latter under the man
agement chiefly of white carpet-baggers; the
former representing nearly all the fixed white
population, capital and landed property of the
State.
The election is called, first, for the ratfca-
zion of the constitution adopted by the radical
of this constitution there will be a separate
vote, as upon the disfranchisement of rebels,
for instance; secondly, full delegation to
Congress is to be chosen; thirdly, Cover
nor, State ticket and Legislature, involving
the election of two United States Senators.
The canvass throughout the State has become
exceedingly animated. In every county, city
and hamlet mass meetings are the order of the
day. Both candidates for Governor-Wells,
the radical, and Walker, the conservative
are republicans, and both are carpet baggers,
so called, or Northern men. The chances ap-
pear to be decidedly in favor of the conserva-
tives; but the Richmond Enquirer (conserva-
tive) says 'the fortunes of the State are i'm
perilled by the depravity of a few thousand
recreant white men, greedy for plunder, how
ever secured, and the contrariness of another
few thousand reckless white men, ready to
risk all to enjoy the privilege ofpOuting." 'In
death struggle between the white and black
races they Chese pouting, stay-at-home white
men) wrap the drapery of their stainless gen.
tility around them and superciliously announce
that there is mo difference From this We
may infer that, Notwithstanding the vigorous
and enthusiastic campaign of the conserva-
tives, the issue still depends upon the balance
Of power held by the Indifferent whites. They
must be brought up to the work.

The Government DepOsItOFI-An TX.
DlanatiOn.

An article appeared in the local |
columns Of the JOURNAL yesterday |
relative to the action recently taken
BY the Secretary Of the Treasury as
to the GovernmentD epesitories at this
place, which article was published |
without the knowledge or authority
of the proprietors-of this paper. 1t
is not our province to call in question
the wisdom of the Secretary's action
in making the Evansville National
Bank the sole Depository Of the Gov
eminent in this city, and the
many friends Of this institution
will be glad to know of its sue
cess; but we regret very much that
anything should appear in our col
umns rejecting, even hy implication,
upon the First Matte nal Bank Of
Evansville. It was asserted in the
article alluded to that the action of
the Secretary of the Treasury will
give general satisfaction to the citi
zens of the District" Such will
hardly be the case. 1t will give salts
faction to the friends of the Evans
Vile National Bank, and very general
dissatisfaction to the friends of the
First National Bank, and the general
public not personally and pecuniarily
interested in either institution, will
have very little concern about the
matter.
In this connection we deem it bat
just, in view of what has been said 10
the JOURNAL, to recall the fact that
the First National Bank was the first
banking organization in this city
and one Of the first in the country
which accepted the National Banking
Law, a system brought into existence
by the war of rebellion; and was ever
ready during this war to render such
material aid as it was able, to preserve
the financial credit aud integrity Of
the Government. Going further back
In its history to earlier years, when i
had an existence as the Evansville
Insurance Company. and afterwards
as the Canal Bank, it was liberal IN
furnishing its capital in large
amount, at u critical time, to pusl
forward to completion the Evansville
& Charlottesville Railroad. AnC
in the past, as in the present, it has
ever been ready to bear its full share
of the burdens of supplying the mu
nicipal wants of the city; and has al
established reputation among oui
business men, Of which its stockhold
ers and officers may we'll be proud
for liberality, enterprise and fai
dealing. We feel that we can say
this much of the Bank withou
making invidious comparisons anC
further, that the action of the Secre
tary of the Treasury is not any refec
ton upon its financial standing o.
business integrity. c

How q Republican Administration
Manages State Finances.

The Board of State Debt Sinking
Fund Commissioners, consisting OF
the Governor, Auditor, Treasurer,
and Agent of State, have had a meet
ing, and upon examination ascer-
tanned that the State will be able to
redeem about 100000 of the prinei-
pal of the Indiana five per cent. State
stocks, at the Office of the Agent Of
State in New York, on and after the
first day of July next. The amount
necessary to pay the semi annual in
terest has also been transmitted to
New York. This will leave about
$1,600,000 of the principal of the Eve
per cent. stocks still unpaid, suppos-
ing the holders should consent to
give up the stocks to the amount pro-
posed, of which there is some doubt,
as it is still optional with them, and
they find the investment one entirely
satisfactory to them, SO long as they
can draw the interest. They are
almost as popular as the war loan
bends, which the State expressed a
readiness, through her officers, to re-
deem in full in May last. but the
Agent has only been able to get hold
of about $4,000 of them. leaving some
100000 still unpaid, because. not
yet having matured. the State cannot
stop the six per cent. interest upon
them. These, with the still outstand-
ing five per cents, will leave the State
debt at about S1,80O,OOO, whereas it
was fully 81, 100000 but five years ago.

ditional strong indictment of an
ability to furnish a handsome sum OF
money to aid In the construction.
There are plans on foot to build a
railroad bridge across the river here
for the accommodation of a proposed
road from st. Louis through here to
Louisville, on the Kentucky side and
also for tie accommodation of the
proposed road or line of roads from
Chicago to the South, through this

require a large sum Of money. Many
Of our people smile at such grand in
tentions. But those of the business
men Of Mt Vernon, who allude to
these plans, do not seem to wish to
interest them or to impress one very
strongly. They do talk, however, as
if they meant what they say, and with
a confidence that would indicate that
they have {" hackers ? either in St.
Louis or Chicago, or perhaps both.
The bar and the shape of the river
here is as favorable to bridging as
almost any point below Louisville.
Evansville must be up aud doing in
the matter Of railroads. All the towns
about us are excited about railroads,
and some of their plans VIII be sure
to result In permanent results. Let
