Our Southern Railroad Connections.
Our readers may not generally be
aware of the Importance Of the rail-
road connections south which will be
secured by the completion of the Ev-
ansYille, Henderson & Nashville Rail
road. A railroad is already in opera
ton from Nashville to Decatur. An
other road is being constructed from
Decatur to the Gulf, portions of it
having already been graded, others
recently put under contract, and all of
it occupied by company able and
determined to finish the enterprise at
an early day. This road is called the
4" Alabama South and North Rail-
way" When completed. the north
west will have almost an "air line !"
from Chicago to the Gulf through our
city. This line will be more direct
than DIR. Pierce's North and South
Road can possibly be on its present
location, and will prove a ruinous
competitor to that enterprise in case
it ever succeeds so far as to have q
locomotive pass over the entire con-
templated line. That portion of this
great thoroughfare north of the Ohio
to Chicago will be completed during
the present year. 1t will biseet some
of the finest mineral regions in oul
State as we'll as Illinois. The line
south from Decatur will also traverse
portions of Alabama which i
said to contain coal equal in value Il
the celebrated anthracite coal o
Pennsylvania; iron ore equal in rich
ness to the Lake Superior and Iror
Mountain varieties is also said to ex
list in great quantities. Located cen
trally on this great thoroughfare
Evansville cannot occupy a secon'
position among the cities of tn
State longer than one or two NOR
decades.

IT STINGETH LIKE AN ADDER
Last night the police officers picked
up in the street Peter Welsh and his
wife. both in state of intoxication,
the former we'll nigh past locomotion.
With ther1 were their two children, q
little boy and girl, the former about
four years of age, and the latter six.
The boy was nearly frozen when
brought to the Hammond Street Sta
ton, where his disgraced parents
were placed in the lookup. 1t was as
distressing a picture as is ever seen
in this receptacle of the fallen, de-
PRAYED, and vicious. In one cell was
the father, too far gone to make a
noise, unconscious of his own shame
and his family's degradation. In an
other was the mother, thinly clad,
her body half clothed, her face
bloated from intoXication, her eyes
bloodshot and her hair disheveled,
taking upon her lips the name of the
Holy Virgin, for whose sake she i'm
plored release. On a bench, sitting
by the stove, in full view of the be-
sotted mother, was the haxen haired
boy, with rotund face, hatless, shoe
less, ragged and dirty, and by his side,
his sister, two years his senior, her
frail form half hidden by the shreds
of dirty calico frook. and legs, and
arms and face begrimed with black.
The children IN the face were by no
means bad looking. and as they sat
with a strange sadness upon their
young faces, it was q tableau that
spoke more powerfully for temperance
than the woI painting of the gifted
Cough, and said touch not" with a
silent eloqence which language may IN
vain endeavor to attain.-CincinnGti

Railroad wanted.

PosEYvILLE, IND, March IA, 1870.
Editors journal:
We see in the JOURNAL that there
is railroad in contemplation, rum
ming from Evansville, by the way of
Carmi, thence to McLeansboro,
Illinois. We, as citizens of this part
of the country. write to you for in
formation, wanting to know why it
would not be better, and cheaper. run
ming from Fort Branch to Oarmi,
thence to McLeansboro, running
this way. here could be road with
but very little grading. if any, and it
would be much nearer-ten miles any
how; and ten miles Of railroad, we
suppose. would cost some considerable
amount of money.
A road running this route would
pass through splendid portion of
country, all the way to the Wabash
river, and from Fort Branch to the
river could be built with as little cost
as.any other road of the same length;
also, this would add greatly to the IA
cilities of the farming community in
the watermelon region, more, In
fact. than any one would think who
has not been acquainted with the mel
on trade. The profits of this article
alone amount to about $4,000, yes,
SIC, 900 every year.
This is also splendid place for all
kinds of vegetables. Grapes and Der.
ries can be raised in abundance, with
many other articles too tedious to
mention, and we have. not the least
doubt but what the money could be
raised Immediately to build the road
on this route. Why this would not
be the cheapest and best route in
every respect, we are unable to com
prehend or to say. So we write hop
ing to hear soon that this may be the
route that the people and the press
may unite upon, with that will and
determination that cannot fail. We
write to learn; take notice we are not
citizens of Poseyville; we want the
road to run about four and a half
miles north of Poseyville, through
the centre Of the water melon region.
Yours, respectfully.

tho right for the Common school.

The battle against the Common
Schools Of America has begun. In
its ranks, whether they know it or
not, are to be found all those who be-
lieve that secular knowledge is pro-
fame, and that to be of any use, a
school teacher must give instructions
in theology. The Roman Catholics,
for instance, look on theological
training as being of such prime i'm
portance that school without it is
wholly worthless. So they have
striven to divide and divert the
school fund, and they have not been
alone in their efforts. By log roll
ling trick a provision for supporting
sectarian schools in New York city
was smuggled into the tax levy Of
1869. By authority of that misera-
bic scheme of plumber there was d.
verted to sectarian purpose, during
the last year, vast total of 1925, 742 !
This sum was divided among schools
and other Institutions under the auspi-
ces of the Roman Catholic, Episco-
pal, Hebrew, Dutch Reformed. Pres
byterian, Methodist and Baptist
churches. The question, which
church obtained the most? is not a
vital one; it does not affect the prin-
ciple of the thing. The church that
received the least. was guilty of rob-
berry of the public fund, and gave
countenance to a measure that threat.
ems the common school system with
utter ruin.
So in Missouri. A bill has passed
the lower branch of the Legislature.
OIL most ov1-lr- L
School Board to appropriate to every
private school In st. Louis SO for
each scholar who may receive free tu-
ition In such school. If this bill were
to become law, it would substitute
private theological schools for the ex-
cellent public schools of that city,
almost abolishing the common school
within its range, and inhicting a ca
tastrophe not easily estimated. This
ought to be understood and denounced
as sectarian onset to plumber aud
destroy our public schools.
what then?" we are asked.
Would you make heather of our
children? Would you Danish all re-
ligious and moral training from the
schools?" No, but it is well to keep
constantly and carefully in mind the
radical difference between religion
and theology. Religion, il its higher
sense, is a recognition of the father
hood of God, and the brotherhood of
Man, and cordial love of both. The
ology is a mans opinions or emotions
concerning God, the angels, the
prophets, the future. Theology is
what a man thinks, religion is what
a man does, or feels that he ought to
do. Religion is conduct theology is
belief. In religion, men mainly
agree; in theology, they universally
differ, if they are independent to
think at all.
Religion ought to be taught in
schools, and it is; theology ought
never to be allowed to put its foot
