NaIarioug Fogs.

Countless millions of cubic feet Of mala-
riOus VapOr reek from the moist earth
every twenty-four hours during the month
of November. This evaporated moisture
is the active principle which begets fever
and ague, bilious remittents, indigestion,
dysentery, bilious cholic, rheumatism,
and many other ailments which prevail
more generally in the Fall than at other
seasons, and some of which, in low,
SWanapy regions and new cleaTings, take
the form OF virulent epidemics. The best
safeguard against these complaints, as evil
denced by the experience or long series
of years, is HOSTETrER'S STOMACH
BITTERS, the most pleasant and at the
same time the most efficient of all vege-
table tOn1cs. The IMMIGRATION of the sys-
tenn is manifeStiy the best means OF de-
Tending 1t against the causes of sickness,
whether constitutional or casual. Nature,
as every pathOlog1st knows, is the most
determined enemy of disease, and the par
oxysms of an acute n1alady are In most
instances the consequences of the efforts
she makes to conquer the foe. The great
object, therefore, Of preventive treatment,
is to reinforce the 81 stem, and it is accom-
pIfShed thoroughly. rapi6lv. and safely by
the use of HOSIEITER'S BITTERS. This
powerful tonic contains also an aperieRt
and corrective principle. 1t is no less vaIu-
able as a regulator and purifier than as an
invIgOrant, and there is no danger of ex-
citing the brain or over stimulating the
circulation by employing it as an antidote.

war of Fire In cuba.

General Cespedes, President Of the
Cuban republic, has issued decree
urging the Cubans devoted to the
cause of independence, to the destruc-
ton Of every sugar cane field on the
island, and that " the ripening tobacco
crop be also destroyed as far as may
be, whether in the field or after gath
cred for curing. The object is to
reduce as far as possible the revenues
of $37,000,000 which Spain derives
from Cuban sugar, tobacco and other
products, and from which she obtains
her sinews Of war. The emancipated
blacks, who know every plantation,
road, and bypath in the island, are to
be chiefly employed in this war Of fire.
"The more effectually," says Cespedes,
this work of destruction is accom-
plished the more swiftly Will our holy
cause be advanced and the goal of
freedom reached" This has start
ling sound; but such is war. 1t IS
precisely the course pursued by SherI-
dan, under the orders of Grant, In
the Shenandoah Valley, and by Sher-
man on leaving Atlanta for bis march
to the sea. Cespedes also aims to
strike the enemy In his most vuIner-
able point, and we may expect, there
fore, that there will be such terrible
over Cuba meantime
that, with the meeting Of Congress,
the attention of the two houses will
be drawn by General Grant to the
of some decisive measures

Mormon ATTACH On III. Beadle.


The Philadelphia Day has we'll
timed editorial on the brutal attack
made last week upon our old corre-
spondent and townsman j. H. BEA-
DIE, Esq, editor of the Utah Re
porter. Mr.. BEADLE's ofense has
been nothing more than bold and
manly discussion of Mormon policy
and principles, and for this his life
has been so greatly hazarded. We
hone this outrage will stir up our
Indiana delegation in Congress to see
to il. this Winter. that an end is
speedily made of Mormon intolerance
and defiance Of law and the rights of
citizens of the United States. The
Day says:
IF anything was wanting to show
the feeling entertained By the follow
ers Of Brigham Young against the
"Gentiles, it was exhibited on Tues
day at Corinne, Utah Territory, in
the brutal attack made upon Mr..
Beadle, editor Of the Utah Reporter,
who was beaten almost to death by Q
Mormon mob. No other reason has
been given for the murderous assault
except that the victim of the outrage
had written articles in his paper de-
nunciatory Of polygamy. This was
enough, and the roughs who attacked
Mr.. Beadle were doubtless instigated
by the great luminary of Mormondom,
the illustrious Brigham himself.
1t is time for the Government to
take these outlaws in hand, and teach
them that they cannot violate the
national laws, the laws of Christian
nation, with impunity. While we are
doing what We can to protect our
Western pioneers from the savages,
it behooves Congress to adopt some
measures which shall also make Sc
cure the citizens of Utah. Brigham
Young is as despotic in that Territory
as is Louis Napoleon, and, until the
Government asserts its jurisdiction
and guarantees the right of our citi-
zens to write and speak as they think
in condemnation of the crime of
polygamy, We must expect to hear Of
just such outrages as this upon the
person of Mr.. Beadle.

Evansville Railroad Connections
North.

While our people are seeking to eX-
tend our Railroad facilities to the
South and West, we are gratifed to
know that other sections Of the State
are making efforts to effect con-
nections with this city. Our read
ers are aware of the favorable pros
poets of early Railroad communica-
ton to Chicago via Danville, Ills. !;
and they will be gratified to learn
from the following extract from the
State Sentinel, that an effort is being
made by which we will secure an out
let to Detroit and the Northeast:
The Logansport, Camden & Frank
fort; the Frankfort & Charlottesville,
and Rockville & Charlottesville Rail-
way Companies were consolidated last
week, and are now kRown as the Lo-
gansport, Charlottesville & South
western Railway Company. The OBJ
ject is to get a southwestern eonnec-
tion at Evansville, and also route to
st. Louis. This road will intersect
the Evansville q Charlottesville Road
near Rosedale, in Parke County. In
connection with this line, road is
being built from Logansport to De-
troit, which will give a continuous
line from Detroit to Evansville. The
consolidated road from Logansport to
the Evansville & Charlottesville Road
will be about one hundred miles in
length. and the prospect is good for
its early completion. All the coun-
ties on the line, except Parke, have
voted donations, and that county
probably will, either as a whole or by
townships. When the road is COM
pleted, it viii bring Parke County in
direct connection with this city, via
Charlottesville, and the distance from
Rockville to Indianapolis will be less
ened twenty-five miles over the pres
ent route. John Lee, Esq, of CraW-

The Iron Mountain railroad COM
pany is extending the track to the
waters edge, at Belmont; and it was
expected that the Mobile and Ohio
railroad company would commence
the extension of its track, in like
manner, on Saturday last. These
extensions completed, and a suitable
ferry boat introduced, passenger and
freight trains will be conveyed to and
fro across the river, being thus en-
abled to continue their trips, after
only about half hours delay. This
arrangement will, doubtless, add not
a little to the business of the two

Tha snnrene Reaeh-

1t has been currently reported that
Judge GREGORY would not be can
didate for reelection, but was going
to leave the State. We are informed,
however, that this report is without
foundation, and that although none
of tho Judges now On the bench are
seeking a denomination, yet they will
all accept it if rendered to them.
The position is one Of great impor-
tance to the people, and, though
highly honorable, involves great labor
and responsibility, and is not by auy
means adequately compensated, but
IT the present incumbents are willing
to accept a denomination, it ought m
be awarded them unanimously.
It is conceded BY all who 90
familiar with the labors Of tba n~asont
bench, that they are men of aL;I;tr,
integrity and persevering indnstrS
and as they are ell in the prime u
life, it would be great folly to sacrifce
their experience By taking new men
But we imagine that the feelins
throughout the State is, that the Re
publican party owe it to their owl
success as well as in justice to pub
lie servants who have faithfully dis
charged their duties, to endorse tn,
judges by rendering each Of them
unanimous denomination.

QUITE difference of opinion exists
between the Managers of the Indian
apolis and Vincennes Railroad and
the City Council of Vincennes, on the
question Of the location Of the depot
and track of the Road through the
corporation limits. The city gave q
promise of donation of $4,000 upon
the completion of the Road, which it
declines to pay over until the depot is
located; and the Council are disposed
to make the location for the Com
pany. 1t was expected that the con-
troYersy would have been settled at
the last meeting of the Council, but
the report of the Committee in favor
of making the location on Eleventh
Street. adjoining the Evansville and
Charlottesville Depot, was rejected,
and the question is still unsettled.

A Political Platform.

The Chicago Tribune, the most in
fuential newspaper in the Northwest,
in its Prospectus for 1870, says that
with the extinction of slavery and its
adjuncts. questions relating to the
public debt, taxation, and the cur
rency will be the ruling and govern
ing issues upon which the country
will be divided. It, therefore, lays
down the following platform Of prin-
ciples which twill advocate:
/. That an irredeemable and auc-
tuating currency is the most expen-
sive, injurious, and oppressive form
of circulating medium for all classes
of people, excepting only the specpla-
tors and stock-gamblers.
2. That the credit of the nation is
its most valuable possession, and that
the efforts of the Government should
be constantly directed to the improve
ment of its credit, to the end that its
bor@"d debt may be refunded at
/ ii T; te of interest.
3. That the Government should
pleet its obligations in the order Of
til cir maturity. and hence that it
should first pay its demand notes, or
greenbacks, either by redemption or
funding-care being taken to produce
as little disturbance in private busi-
ness as possible.
4. That, with the restoration of the
public credit, the business of banking
should be made free, subject to the
safeguards which are now or may
hereafter be prescribed by law.
5. That all taxes imposed upon the
people should be adjusted solely with
view to the raising of revenue for
the Government, and that there
should be material and speedy re-
duction- in the existing rate of taxa
tion, both under the internal revenue
and the tariff system.

THE New York Times attributes
the filure to carry the amendment
abolishing the elective judiciary as
largely due to large body of the law
yers; those in the city having learned
to share with the judges in corruption

Senator MOrton's Views.

a special dispatch to the Cincinnati
Gazette says. that Senator MORTON had
a long talk with the President, OBJ
Monday, upon the Cuban question,
and upon the resumption of specie
payments. The Senator expressed
himself as strongly in favor of the
cause of free Cuba, but held the opin-
iop that the recognition of belliger-
ency was an Executive act, and not a
matter for Congress to take part in.
The Senator opposed the idea of a
speedy resumption of specie payment.
