Ben. CIsseIl and the Railroad.

We publish this morning an ac-
count of the Railroad Celebration at
Henderson yesterday, which we trust
Is only the precursor of the more i'm
portant jubilee which should not be
in the distant future, when the North
west will meet the Central South on
the banks Of 1he Ohio to celebrate
the entire completion of the Evans
Vile, HENDERSON & Nashville Rail
road, one OF the important links of
commercial and political union. An
earnest invitation was extended to our
city officials, business men and citi.
zens generally, without party distinc-
ton, 10 join in the demonstration
and we are pleased to say that the
invitation was very generally accepted
in the spirit 10 which we believe it
wis given. The Mayor and City
Council. ia their official capacity. and
large lumber of our leading citizens
were present and took part in
the celebration. 1t was fair to
presume that nothing of partisan
character would be said or done to
mar the harmony and good feeling
prevalent. And it is a matter of re-
gret with all true friends of this i'm
po@sant enterprise that the leading
speaker, representing the kentucky
interests. Judge BEN. CIssELL, should
have INDUCED in personal illusions
wholly unwarranted, and well calcu
lated to awaken the old spirit of hos.
tility, which happily for the prosper.
ity and peace of both sections, is fas
disappearing. 1t would be well fol

yesterday. 1t is lesson which can
not be too soon or too we'll learned
The citizens of Evansville VIII,

aud in the audience addresses
by BEN. CIssELL are the men Q

years ago, stood in fear OF their
lives, their property, and all that
:, was dear to them, on account OF
armed men across the border, who
were threatening to invade the very
streets of Evansville; and they can
not forget the services rendered by
the young men of this city and
county, who stood between the enemy
and their homes And it was the
extreme of bad taste for such men as
CIssELL to defame the personal char
acter of the man who was chosen to
command those young men, who had
rendered this invaluable service to
the people of Evansville, whatever
may have been CIssELL's opinion of
his deserts.
1t is gratifying to know, however,
that the venimous slander and cow
ardly innuendoes of BEN. CIssELL can
do no harm. Nature endowed
him with a reasonable degree OF
ability, which would have enabled
him to render some service to the
cause of secession, which he so gal
lantly espoused at the commencement
of the late war. But with the low
cunning of Cataline, yet free from
the personal daring of that areh-cOn-
spirator, he induced the young men
of Kentucky to go into the Secession
army, but himself stayed at home; and
when the Federal army came he SUNK
