THE EAGLE, OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE COUNTY. j»ECAf LR," IVDBAAA. ~|FRi RAY, M 4 Y 3SJLS69. THE NEW S/T ~ May 19th, there was $122,000,000 in gold in the treasury,- the largest sum on hand for some time. General Terell, of Indiana, has been appointed third assistant postmaster general. The official notification of the completion of the Union Pacific railroad has been filed at Washington. Before the bonds will be issued a commission will report on the condition of the road. The Indiana State Medical association met at Indianapolis on the 18th. About sixty members were present from various parts of the State. Dr. Moffit, of Rushville, addressed the association. — An interesting essay on “why doctors disagree” was read by Dr. Curran, of Jeffersonville. Extensive-preparations are being made in different parts -of the country by the Grand Army of the Republic for decorating the graves of soldiers. A grocer of Saint Louis has received an invoice of teas via the Union Pacific railroad, only eighty days from Yokohama. The Halifax Chronicle is discussing the question of the annexation of Nova Scota to the United' States. The Chronicle says : M e will not hastily, without much thought, propose a new political ceeed; but. the time is coming, however, and coming fast, when every man in Nova Scotia will have to make up his mind and “take sides.”

General Thomas has recently been tendered a service of plate, which he refused. Granjt will not refuse.—Try him. The Methodist Church North and South. It has been supposed, because‘ the Methodist church north, so asserted, that slavery was the_ cause of the separation. Slavery hav ing passed away, with it passed the “great cause” which led to the dismemberment. The northern Methodist bishops lately in session at Meadville, Pa., assume this position and in their address “trust that the day is not far distant when there shall be but one organization of the Methodist church iu the United States.” The southern bishops reply in tbe pointed language, following. “Slavery was not, in any proper sense, the cause’ but tbe occasion only, of that separation, the necessity of which we regretted as much us you. Bit certain principles were developed in relation to me political aspects of that question involving the right of ecclesiastical bodies to handle find determine I matters lying outside of thair pro- I per jurisdiction, which we could I not accept. * * * That which you are pleased to call, no doubt sincerely thinking it so, the great cause of separation, existed iu the church from its organization, and Vet fur sixty years there was no separation. But when those theories incidentally evolved iu connection with it began" to be put j into practice then the separation came.” V The breach is quite Mis before the war. Tbs Methodist church north claims to be a “loyal” or- i ganization, and has characterized the church south as a “disloyal” j body. If its assertions are true we i cannot see why it desires the al-1 Hance asked for, especially so long ns “one church converts- its pul-, pits in to political rostrums, and its altars into pyres for roasting Christians of opposite politics, and the other regrets these theories and practices that combine theolo-

gy and politics in equal parts.— Methodist church uorlh must *cpT politics return to theologi, or the Methodist church south in ist quit theology and take to politics, before there can be auy i rd union between the two b Kliea.” - — ■ jKFOur tanners are very busy planting corn this week. The exceeding wet weather of the past w wcVks has put the farmers b ,ck with their wurk and made pl.-uitiug late. Tuesday waa tba wannest div of the season. We noticed several of onr enterprising fellow . citizens were trouble! with a mild idutek of‘•sprin? fever."

/S'" A heavy force is at work on the line <of the Cincinnati, Richmond and Fort Wayne railroad, between Richmond and Ridgeville. It is expected that arrangements will be soon effected to commence grading between Ridgeville and Fort Wayne. /STThe wheat crop is develop ing rapidly. The prospect for a larger yield than we have had for years is flattering. Small fruits have escaped the frost, and the prospect for a general crop of fruit is excellent.

Soarixg Eloquence—A certain political speaker closed an address in behalf of his party with the following florid peroration: “Build a worm fence around a winter’s supply of summer weather ; skim the clouds with a spoon : catch a thunderbolt in a bladder, break a hurricane to harness; ground sluice aq earthquake; bake b—lLiu an ice-house; lasso an avalanche ; pin a diaper on the era ter of and active volcano ; hive all the stars in a nail keg; hang the ocean on a grape vine to dry; put ' the sky to soak in .a gourd; unbuckle the belly-band of eternity and paste -To Let” on the sun I and moon, but never, sir—never l for a moment, sir, delude your--1 self with the idea that any ticket or party can beat our candidate.” Odd Fellowship. The Grand Lodge and Grand Encampment of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, convened in Indianapolis, May 18th. From the reports of the officers we learn that there are in the State 90 en campments, with 3.469 contributingmembers. The resources of the same are $30,932 18; receipts, slO,lßl 16; total expense for relief and charity 8309,735. The Grand Master of the Grand Lodge says that in no six months of the history of the Order in Indiana ’ have there been so many evidences us prosperity as in the last. DispenM'.f’nns have been granted to 19 Lodges of the Daughters of Rebecca, all of which are at work

—The First Gorman Reformed Church of Fort Wayne, is to errect a handsome new church, fifty feet wide, ninety feet long, with a tower one hundred and sixty feet in .higbt. -The Owen County Jounral says the wheat crop in that section continues unusually promising. With no misfortune, the wheat crop of 1860 will be one of the leavieit ever harvested.

The Revolution in Cuba. Late advices from Porto Rico are to the effect that that island has joined in the revolt against Spanish rule. Although no general uprising had as yet taken place it was momentarily expected. The following will give some idea of the strength of the revolution in Cuba, and also includes the result of late fighting and defeat of the Spanish troops. The Sun publishes a letter from Col J. B. Stockton, of Oil City, Pa., bearers of the address which Gen. Cespedes recently sent to Gen. Grant. Stockton says: “I have just been in many of the camps of the republican army of Cuba, and obtained from official records the total strength of the liberal force. On the 28 of Febnary, when the consolidated reports for January and February were completed, the whole strength of the army of the Cuban republicans stood as follows: Armed with muskets and guns of all calibers, 24.495 men; with inferior arms, pistols, sabres, etc., 6,582 men; drilling in instruction camps and partially armed with machetes, or sugar knives, 42,252; grand total, 73,599. In the artillery the Cubans are sadly' deficient, and all their artillery is included above in those armed with pistols, sabres, etc. They have tried wooden cannon in various styles, and also used iron tubes from mills, easting them in wood, and enclosing them in iron bands. The Spanish authorities have sent, according to their own reports 40,000. men with splendid arms, to Matanzas, and they are hemmed in and confined to the seaport towns, in reach of their navy, by 24,000 Cubans. The Cuban forces arc mostly scattered, to prevent the Spanish troops from concentrating while, the two fojjee are so unequal--lv armed, and at the same time to allow blokade-runncrs to enter inferior ports and unguarded harbors, with arms and ammuniton. Consequently, there are but two officers ■ with what may be termed an army; i but the Cubans could, in an emergency, concentrate a pretty large force in a very short time, .and that, too, at any point desired.” A Trinidad (Cuba) letter of the 20th ult. states that the Spanish troops attacked a body of patriots near there on the Bth, but were routed A Spanish convoy was captured near Los Tumas, on the 15th, several of the troops retreating to the town, from whence they rallied to attack the patriots again. The patriots, however, made a detour, and entered the town, capturing the garrison. They immediately took possesion of the city, and found some artillery—among the rest, two fine field pieces, with which they armed two fortifications, which were immediately- erected. They were reinfoced by 200 men the Spaniards had held in confinement. On the 18th, the Spanish troop* presented themselves before the city, but were soon put to flight by the artillery of the Cubans.

The Mew Railroad Lawof Indiana. „ During the recent session of the state legislature, the bill introduced at the regular session, authorizing counties and townships to aid in the constauction of radroad, was taken up and passed, and has become a law. The princpal features and provisions of the bill are as follows: Whenever 100 freeholders petition the county commissioners for an approprition to aid some organized railroad company, to construct their road through or in the county, to a named amount,- not exceeding 3 per cent, of the taxablea, a3 shown by the last duplicate, the commissioners are to order the polls to be opened upon a day named, of which four weeks notice is to be given, for the voters of the county to vote upon the subject. If a majority of the votes are in favor of the appropriation, then the.commissioners are to levy a tax atThe ensuing June session to raise the money, but the tax in one year cannot exceed 1 per cent, of the taxable; nor can the aid to any one road exceed 2 per cent thereon. When the money is collected, the county can cither take stock in the railroad, and pay when it is subscribed for or a don ation caq be made by the commissioners to aid in its construction. If the money is donated, payments can only be made after the road is located, and the work done and paid for to an amount equal to the donation, nor can to exceed -50 per cent, of the amount voted for be ! donated until the cars run over I the road through the county. A failure to commence work within I on? year after the tax is levied, or a failure to complete the road within three years, forfeits all i right of the company to the moniey raised by the county, unless for good cause shdwn; a year's ' future time is granted by the counjtv commissioners, and, therefore, , the money goes into the general county fund. The provisions of ' the bill are also made applicable to

any one or more townships, whenever 25 freeholders shall present, a petition from each township for such aid to a railroad which runs through the same. -Another Catholic church is contemplated in Terre Haute.

! pKOSFSXTS-S JL > * o? the CONSTITUTIONAL ONION. The attention of the Democracy throughout the Country is earnestly called to the terrible condition of affairs inaugurated and consummated by the paity in power, which hns deliberaely falsified its pledges and in defiance of the -most sacred obligations is moving Heaven and Earth to convert the Republic and erect upon the ruins of Constitutional Liberty a hughe, remorseless and gigantic despotism which will reenact the horrors of the Old World. The earnest painful consideration of all thoughtful and reflective men who care more for country than they do for party has been directed to this fact, and they view with feelings of alarm the rapid march of the Radical party in its endeavors to erect an Empire upon this continent instead of the Republic of our Fathers. By the most insidious and hypocritical steps it has steadily advanced to its aim over the wreck and ruin of our most sacred constitutional guarantees. It inaugurated the bloodiest war of modern times to destroy that article of the Constitution by which every State has the right to regulate its domestia affairs. It pulled down the JLiheas/dorpns— it trampled upon trial by jury—it enforced the most ruthless conscription ever known in the history of nations—it covered the hills and valleys of the South with half a million corpses of our best and bravest sons—it has piled upon us a debt not only appalling in its mgnitude, and crushing the industry and prosperity of our people, but one also daily increasing making the rich richer and the poor poorerit is steadily grinding down the people to a condition of far worse than Africanslayory. It is eating up the substance of the land by a foul, vile and unjust taxation, in order to obtain money to spread its corruptions —it is ruining the country with its abominable tariffs—it has subjected six million of our countrymen to the most odious despotism that humanity has ever been subjected to — it has elevated a degraded and basial race of negroes to complete social equality with ourselves, and has through fraud, through hypocrisy, through most monstrous villainy, elected to the Presidency a soldier whose only recommendation for that high office is that he is the supple and subservent tool of worst follies and crimes of the Radicals. Our Goverumcnt is a foul tyranhy at home, a reproach and disgrace abroad. And all this unspecakable misery an IdegmdJ ation have beeu imposed upon our once free, happy and glorious country in order to change the fundamen&l principle of our Government, destroy our Republican institutions and build up a bloody and despotic Empire upon the ruins of tbe Republic, It now becomes the sacred duty of tbe Democratic party, in view of this terrible condition of things, to gird up their loins for a war to the knife upon Radicalism. There must be no compromise. The Constitution of our Fathers is in imminent danger! Our countrymen are enslaved, and the Radical party is forging the chains to bind our own limbs. The Democratic party must break them, and destroy the power of the Radical party to ever forge them again. Their chief magistrate has hypocritically said, “Let us have peace!” He moans the peace which masters give to si ives! The Democratic party, ever faithful to its old traditions of constitutional liberty and law, rises in the moral sublimity of its devotion to the Constitution of bur Fathers and tells the usurper and his fellow tyrants there shall be no peace until they respect the laws and institutions bequeathed us by the Sires of '76. There shall be no peace, even if we continue the struggle until the Day of Judgment, so long as the Republic is threatened. The Democratic party will permit no monarchy in our country, and pledges itself to resist all innovations upon our Republican institutions so long as one arm remains to wield a brand clone breast remains to “bare itself to the battle-shock.’’

Upon the accession of General Grant to the Presidency, The Constitutional Union stated that so far ns was consistent with our life-ion* devotion to Democratic principles it would accord his administration a cheerful support. But he has shown himself so thorougly a tool of the Radical usurpers, and has gone so far to degrade a co-ordinate branch of the Government into a nominal clerkship to Congress, that The. L.< niox would stultity its high record if it could support him any longer. Una well by the threats and unmoved by the temp-, tations of power during the bloody days of the war, The Constitutional Union fought the tyranny of the Radicals and their despotic infractions of the Constitution with vigor, an earnestness and a zeal which won for it a prou 1 and honorable reputation as a powerful and unconquerable champion of Democratic institutions and Democratic principles. We take up arms again for the endangered Constitution of our fathers, and shall not lay them down again so long as it is in danger. Wccall earnestly upon the Democratic party to heed our admonitions and imitate our example—to renew the fight—to draw the sword and throw away the scabbard, and to continue the contest, neither giving nor asking quarter till the fight be over and the day be won, or we ourselves perish amid the general wrecks of all our liber ties.
