EVANSVILLE, March 26. 1869.
LETTER FROM HOPKIEsVILLE.

ID OPKINSVILLE, ky..i
] April 9. 1869. !
Editors Journal:
For several reasons, but mainly be-
cause of several friends resident in
Evansville, take considerable inter
est in its progress, prosperity, good
government. and Republioanism. I
had watched with anxiety the prog
ress Of the late canvass. and ! now
hasten to congratulate you upon the
glorious victory you have achieved
over the combined triumyirate of
Fraud, Corruption, and Democracy. h
I feel sure it will purify your
atmosphere, brighten your horizon,
and immensely improve your fnan
cial situation" And these are great
works to be accomplished In one day !:
and while we vastly differ with you on
the subject of the Fifteenth Amend
ment, we are none the less pleased
and gratifed at your late victory.
The triumph of true principles IN
Connecticut is fully eomplemented by
your own.
But enough Of politics and political
subjects. A matter of more local IN
forest is now agitating our people.
All the money subscribed Is spent,
and of course there was not enough
| to build our railroad through. The
gap hence TO jacksonville lies stub
| bornly and vulgarly rugged. 1t cam
not be closed nor the road made
profitable without the expenditure Of
more money. The Company must
either raise this money from its
| friends or from its own resources and
| credit. The latter course seems at
once exhaustive and ruinous, and 1t
would seem to be the old safe way
| for the cities and counties, Especially
the latter now already stockholders,
| to lend an additional amount of their
credit so as to complete the road, and
at the same time be Its only creditors,
/ then they could control it IN their
own interests, and doubtless make
/ themselves safe. | am not sanguine
that this will be done, at least by our
county, and hence | fear for both the
stockholders and the future of the
road.
Many influences operate against the
road = among them prejudice and
politics-and although the PROPOSE
ton to subscribe for more stock is
pending, no one can tell how it will
result.
In the meantime the fruit is all kill
ed; the Spring is wet and backward ;
money is very scarce, and things gen.
orally seem to point to economy, and
many fail to see that the development
of the resources of a country Is the
truest economy.
Our town was startled yesterday by
the very sudden death Of one of our
old citizens, VIM. T. Buckner, from
an over dose of laudanum. He had
been lawyer, a soldier in the Third
Kentucky Cavalry, having been
wounded at Shiloh, and was, at his
death, acting as Assistant Assessor OF
Internal Revenue at this place. All
though generous, he hal his faults,
but these should be covered by the
green sod of his grave. 4
Very truly, EDELwEIs-

WALTHAM WATCHES.

The extensive use of these Watches for
the last fifteen years by Railway Conduct
ors, Engineers, and Expressmen, the most
exacting of watch-wearers, has thoroughly
demonstrated the strength. steadlness, du-
rabihty, and accuracy of the Waltham
Watch. To satisfy that class In all these
respects is to decide the question as TO the
zeal value of these timekeepers.
The superior organization and great ex.
tent of the Company's Works at Waltham
enable them to produce watches combin
ing the best and latest improvements, and
at a price which renders competition
futile and those who buy any other
watch merely pay from % to so per cent.
more for their watches than is necessary.

leg in the late war for the Union, for
the office OF Weighmaster at the Up
