WARREN's @. G. BAED.-The Lie
derkraIz, the Band and the other
festive Sangerfesters. returned on
the evening train yesterday, having
missed connection at Indianapolis on
the early morning.
Having to lay over few hours at
the capital, Warres's q. @. Band re-
paired to Governor Bakers residence,
and reused that dignitary from his
slumbers, by one of those strangely
sweet performances, which they alone
can play.
The Governor recognizing the play
ing of the Crescent's, responded at
once, inviting the band to meet him
at nine o'clock, at the State House,
where at the hour stated. Governor
Baker conducted them through the
building. showing them everything
that was interesting.
The baud gave one or two of their
unapproachable pieces. to the delight
of vast numbers of people.
After serenading the Journal OF
that city they left there at noon, ar
irving here on the 8:15 train, where a
perfect ovation awaited them at the
depot. large crowd gathering and
cheering them as they marched down
Main Street, at the head of the
Liederkranz.

MORE RAILROADS.
The Meeting Of the Friends or the
Evansville, Seymour & San
dusky Railroad.

At three O'Clock yesterday after
noon, several gentlemen interested in
the progress of the city. assembled at
the Evansville National Bank, in re-
ply to an invitation from Messrs. r.
Patterson and J. Il. Blish. of Sey
mour, Indiana, Mr.. Blish being Pres
ident of the Company named above.
The meeting was organized by the
election of DR.. George b. Walker,
Chairman, aud E. G. Van Ripper, Esq,
Secretary.
Mr.. Patterson addressed the meet
ing, describing the contemplated
route over which he had driven, in
company with Mr.. Blish. who is a
practical engineer. and whose exam
ination shows that the road can be
built without any deep cuts, and
without any bridges more than one
hundred feet in length. and the
greatest incline required not being
more than forty feet in a mile.
The road. which starts from San
dusky, Ohio, goes to Piqua, thence
through Liberty, Union County, Ind.
and Greensburg. Decatur County,
interesting the Ohio & Mississippi
Railroad and the Jacksonville &
Indianapolis Railroad. at Seymour,
and continuing through Jackson
and Washington Counties. touches
Salem, the County seat of Washing.
ton. thence through Paoli, Jasper and
Boonville, to this city.
At Greensourg it intersects the In
dianapoIis & Cincinnati Railroad,
from which place to Cincinnati is
just fifty miles, making a short route
to the latter city.
After hearing Mr.. Patterson, the
meeting resolved to form a company
to act in conjunction with the Sey-
mour Company, and ten thousand
dollars in stock was subscribed at
once.
Messrs. j. j. Chandler and John
s. Hopkins were appointed a commit
tee to prepare articles of association,
and Messrs. n. e. Read. HIM. Sweet
ser and G.. P. Hudspeth, a committee
to solicit subscriptions to the stock.
The country through which this
road passes is very fertile. rich in
stone, timber and minerals, aud well
cultivated and populous. On their
way to this city, Messrs. Patterson and
Blish called upon the citizens at
Paoli, Orange County. and at public
meeting they resolved to subscribe
literally, and vote the right of way
and two per cent. tax to the stock of
the road; and on the next evening
(Friday) the citizens Of Jasper, Du-
bois County. did the same. At Boon
vile the people were very enthusi-
astic in favor of the road; but having
voted tax in favor of the North and
South Road, they deferred subscrip-
tons for the present.
AT Salem, two or three weeks ago,
a meeting was held and the people of
that town showed their disposition
toward the road by liberal subscrip-
tions to the stock.
Should all these signs hold good,
Evansville will, before many years,
be amply provided with railroads.

A DRUNKEN WOMAN. - Officer
Jackson wasted half an hour. yester-
day. in trying to persuade Catherine
Mulqueen. who is anything but queen
ly, to withdraw from the streets
where she was Cabling and scolding
at hor husband. Catharine disre-
garded Mr.. Jaekson's advice, and
went struggling about until she was
picked up in the upper market, with
her little boy. both of whom were
drunk. The poor child, pretty boy
about three years old, was stagger-
ing about like an old topper.
While mother and child were seat
ed in the yard, outside the Lookup,
the sneaking, half drunken husband
came to look after them. The police
were so Disguised with the pair that
they endeavored to take his wife and
child away out of their sight, but hav-
ing no home. it is probable they spent
the night in the Lookup. They only
landed from a steamer day or two
ago, coming from Roekport.

Y AiCostiy General

The prospect Is that the bill for reduc'
ton and economy in the army will be de-
featcd. There is no Disgusting the fact
that the principal opposition to 1t comes
from General SHERMAN Ind those he con.
trolls, simply because it reduces his pay
and somewhat curtails his grandeur in re-
ducing the expenditures Of those under
his command. General SHERMAN has
but one idea, and that Is that the country
ought to be entirely subsidiary and tribu-
tary to its government that tho govern
ment exists only that it may support a
magnificent army, and that tho army Is
designed only to contribute TO his per-
sonal glory, grandeur md emolument.
Senator WILSON, Of Massachusetts, who,
as Chairman Of the Senate Military Com
nittee, hls shown himSclrabjectly subject
to urmy influences, has now brought for
ward IL proposition : to Strike out the
clauses reducing the; pay Of SnfRAtAN
and SHERIDAN and to retain the
military storekeepers and the nau-
seolis system of brevets, and to hitch the
bill thus mutilated to tile Appropriation
bill and forceit through. This Is cow
ardly move, and We trust 1t will utterly
fail. If the bill cannot reduce therpay Of
tile General and his Lieutenant, 1t ought
not to pass at all. If the United States
Senate has not tho courage to do its duty
by the country, because the General Of the
Army objects, then let us have the fact
exhibited in its most striking light. Gen.
SHERIDAN llas made no objection, so far
rs we have ever heard, TO tho proposed
diminution of his emoluments, The
Whole difficulty comes from SHERMAN,
who noY gets between nineteen and
twenty thousand year, and who has
made the most indelicate protests, in
writing and otherwise, because the House
lot Representatives thought, in the bur-
dened condition Of the country, he might
live on $4,000 u year-nearly twice US
much as the Justices Of the Supreme
Court and members Of the, Cabinet 70;
