The Eagle. OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE COUNTY. DECATUR, IADIAAA, FRIDAY, SEPT, 10, 1869. TliE SEWS. The reported conspiracy on the U. S. frigate Sabine proves to be untrue. Don Carlos has abandoned, for the present, the attempt to overturn the Spanish government. The Suez canal is completed and will be formally opened on the 17th of November. Serrano is daily becoming more and more prominent as a candidate for the throne of Spain. The Secretary of War has ordered additional troops sent ( to Montana, upon the representations of delegate Cavanagh. Forney publishes a letter from Nashville which says that Andrew Johnson is gaining ground every day, and that his election to the Senate may be considered certain.

Spain is again adding to her Cuban army. 4000 troops sail troops sail to-day to be followed by 0000 more tn a few days. The health of the French Emperor continues quite poor, and causes considerable uneasiness in diplomatic circles over the water. A national Temperance Convention was held at Chicago last week. An anti-prohibition party was resolved upon independent of all other political organizations. A coal mine at Plymouth, Pa., caught fire on Monday near the place of egress, imprisoning 201 men and boys, all of whom are supposed to have perished. * Claims for the capture and destruction of private property during the war have been filed against the government to the amount of 863,000,000. Washington newspaper report ers are of an opinion that the administration will accord the Cuban insurgents belligerent rights at an early day. A cable dispatch from Paris states that Burlingame had received a dispatch from, the Chinese government, expressing a cordial recognition of the treaties he has concluded with America and the different European States. Twenty Christian missionaries were recently killed by the popu-

lace, in the province of Szchuen, China. The- Pekin government < instituted inquiries in regard to the outrage. 1 he Suez Canal. —' ■ — 'l'he seventeenth day of November will be a great day. Then the | Suez Canal will be formally opened for c rnmercial purposes, and I the people of Europe, Asia and Africa brought into more direct communication with each other than they have ever been. The isthmus through which this canal is cut is about seventy-two English miles in breadth, and the surface is for the most part barren, being fertilized merely by the inundations of the Nile. Traces are found on the isthmus of a canal built in ages long past. /In extra ordinary fact has been noticed since active operations have com nftmeed’on the Suez Canal. On the desert, where a drop of rain was never known to fall, and wliere hundreds; of travellers formerly perished. Hvith their beasts of burden. for want of water, now frequent showers are experience!. Lately heavy fogs have prevailed, which are rep >rted nearly as dense as those that visit Parisduring the winter months. These changes are attributed to the number of trees that have been planted along the line of the fresh water canal, which undoubtedly attract the moisture. Pleasant villages have sprung up at the various stations, and the houses arc in many cases sure »nnde 1 by shrubs and flowers.

Famine In Western Russsa. The “ Jewis of London, makes an appeal to its wealthy coreligionists on behalf of the Jews of western Russia. Famine is rapidly depopulating the district, and the distress is appalling. The committee at Memel say that bunders of half starved skeletons wander about the streets, praying that God might put an end to their misery. The children die in the schools, together with their teachers. A rSther novel marriage came off at Covington last week—a Mr. Morgan to a Mrs. Morgan—the l•rMegroom taking to wife bis brother's widow.

' Death of Secretary Rawlins Gen. John A. Rawlins, Secretary of War, died at Washington on Monday. His disease was consumption, of which he had been prostrated with for some days, which finally resulted in his death. At the breaking out of the war he was a prominent lawyer of Ga lena. When Grant received a military appointment, Rawlins was made his adjutant and during the entire rebellion was his chief-of-staff. lie was a man of great executive ability and untiring industry, two qualities necessary to occupy the position he held, witl\ much more honor to his chief and country than to himself. Whatever of success Grant attained, how much is due to the abilities of Gen Rawlins, has as yet not been properly estimated. Now that the grave has closed over him, the country will doubtless review his military history and accord todeserving worth that appreciation of his services that should have been i his in life, and would have been ! had he not stood in the shadow of his chief.

A State in Prospect. Dakota territory will soon be knocking at the doors of tha union. Villages are said to be springing up there rapidly. More than 5,000 persons have emigrated to the territory this summer. The present population is reckoned at 20.000, and 47,000 acres of land have lately been thken up under the homestead and pre-emption laws by actual settlers.

It is claimed that the president has locked horns with the radical members of his cabinet, and that orders will be issued to install Gov. Walker, of Virginia, and assemble the legislature of that state, without exacting the test-oath from its members.

X-iT Secretary Boutwell has expressed himself unwilling to have the income tax modified, claiming that the government requires all the revenue received from that source. He might have added, and from all others, unless stealing is modified. I Both of the Tennessee sac tions are toadying the president, and both claim that they have his support. This billing and cooing that has arisen from the Radical reconstruction is enough to sicken a decent dog. No honest man that has any self-respect would accept a government appointment, where stealing is the rule and honesty the exception.

The recent election in California has resulted in the Democrats carrying the state, and electing a majority to the legislatureMcCoppcn, Democrat, was re-elect-ed Mayor of San Francisco by a bout 1000 majority. Throughout the state there was but little excitement or interest manifested in the election. A Warning Io Young Men.

Charles Lamb told his sad experience. as a warning to young men men, in the following language-; -The waters have gone over me. But out of the black depths, could I be heard, I would cry out to all those who have set a foot in the perilous flood. Could the youth to whom the flavor of the first wine is as delicious as the opening scenes of life or the entering upon some newly discovered paradise, look into my desolation, and be made to understand how drear it is when he shall feel himself going down a precipice, with open eyes and a passive will to his destruction, and have no human power to stop it, and yet feel it all the way emanating from himself, to see all godliness emptied out of him. and yet not able to forget a time when it was otherwise, to bear the piteous spectacle of his own ruin, could he see my fevered eye. fevered with last night's drinking and feverishly looking for to-night's repeating of the folly, could he but feel the body of death out of which I cry hourly, with feebler outcry to be delivered, it werfc enough to make him dash the, sparkling beverage to the earth, in all the pride of its mantling temptation” - - - ——» ■ Wild Oats—A crop that is generally sown between eighteen and twenty-five. The harvest sets in about ten years after, and is commonly found to consist of a broken constitution, uro weak legs, a bad cough, and a large trunk filled with small phial* and patent medi- 1 vines.

STATU NEWS. Laporte is to have Nicolson pavement. Monroe county is building a new jail/ The railroad has been complet ed between Newcastle and Muncie. Farmers in nearly all parts of the state haxe commenced plowing for wheat.

South Bend has 1,901 school children, only 15 of whom are colored. The “Home for the Friendless,” in Richmond, is rapidly approaching conwletion. The saloon meetings are still kept unnn Richmond, and considerable niterest is manifested. The United States district court of Indiana, will not convene until November. The Wheat crop in Clark countj r will average 20 bushels to the acre. Wnl. P. Hann, of Greensburg’ has raised a tomato weighing two pounds two and one half ounces. The Wabash railroad has twice as much wheat offered at it can take. The telegraph *“line is in operation on the new railroad line fom Peru to Laporte.

There are 87 retail liquor dcrlers in Clarke county, who pay an anual government tax of 825. The Henry county fair was held last week, and was a success in every particular. There is said to be a young lady in Jeffersonville who can easily swim across the Ohio river and back again without stopping to rest. The corn along the Wabash railroad, from Delphi to Lafayette, never looked better. The late rains have made a wonderful change for a better crop than was anticipated. There is a family in Milton, Wayne county, who, within the last nine months, have had four weddings, three births, and two deaths within their circle. The Vermilion County Agricultural society offers a premium of a handsome silver plated water pitcher tor the best ten pounds of butter to be exhibited at the fair. This is a step in the right direction. A petrified beech log, six feet long, has been dug out of the ground by workmen of the Ohio and Mississippi branch railroad, back of Jeffersonville.

At Terre Haute, during the month of August, there were one hundred and fifty trials in the Po lice Court, including crimes of nearly every grade. Silas Shafer, a farmer, and the father of twelve children, living near Laurel, in Franklin county, hung himself on Saturday, the 28th ultimo. No cause known. Abe McLaughlin, of New Al bany, was arrested and placed in jail, upon a charge of assault and battery with intent to commit a rape upon the person of a young lady who resides below that city. Ten applications for lisense have been filed with the assessor of internal revenue, for the distillasion of brandy horn apples and peaches in Harrison conntv. up to this time. Ten gentlemen have already consented that their names may be mentioned in connection with the United States district judgeship, made vacant by the death of Judge McDonald.

... The New Albany Ledger, in noticing the appointment of General Gresham to the United States Judgeship, remarks: “This appointment will, no doubt, be a surprise to many applicants for this position. The appointment is made, no doubt, on General Grant's own volition, who is well know to entertain a very high regard for General Gresham. The appointment is for life. The Largest Yield Yet.—Mr. Robert Catlin, of Raccoon township, Parke county, produced, from one pound of seed, two hundred and ninety five pounds of Early Rose potatoes —eight pota toes weighing sixteen pounds. Can any one beat this ? If so. we should be pleased to know it.— Terre Haute Express. There is a cave in Corydon, the entrance of which is only three squares from th«p court house, which has a singular phenomenon about it, that has, up to the present timei been unaccounted for. A continual current of cool air comes out of the entrance, which will keep a fan turning if it is suspend ded Wore the hole. During the heated term, in the foYe part of the week, some gentlemen placed a thermometer in the cave. In five minutes the mereury sank from near 100 to 58. The cave has never been explored, consequently, from whence the current of air comes, or what causes it, l remains yet unknown.

Homicide in Harrison County— Young Man Instantly Kili>d. — Saturday night last a terrible aft ray occurred in the vicinity of Mauck- . port, Harrison county, in which a young man named Charles Robinson was killed by John Bruces On the evening in question the parties attended a religious meeting at what is called the Cross Roads Meeting House, some twonniles north of Mauckport. After ser- , vices were concluded, the parties, , in company with several! other young men, and ladies too, started for home. As the night was quite dark, some of the party carried lights, and when near the residence of Mr. Joseph Wiseman, and in the act of getting over a fence, Bruce and Robinson were tltrown in close contact, when, by the aid of the lights, they immediately recognized each other. Upon doing so, Robinson remarked to Bruce that he “had understood that he (Bruce) was going to shoot him,” Bruce responded, “Yes, it’s so. and now is as good a time to do it as any,” and suiting his action to his words, pulled a revol ver from his pocket and or three shots. Robinson* was struck by two balls Within two inches of each other; just below the left nipple. , Wheir first-sh'bt Rb bifftonyturn - ed around exclaiming, “I am\)<illed,” and attempted to get away, ween Bruce fired again, the ball ■staking effect in the back paat of his neck, and Robinson fell to the ground a lifeless corpse. Bruce immediately started away and when a short distance off called to know if Robinson was dead, and being informed that he was, made his way across the river into Kentucky, since which time he has not been heard of. The parties were young men, residing near Mauckport and not far from each other. z lt is stated that there had existed a feud for some time.— Xeio Albany Ledger. Poll leal Items. .

The Cape Girardeau (Mo.) Democracy declares for Senator Hendricks for president in 1873The Hon. D. W. Voorhees is to stump lowa for the democracy. The spirit of the press in Tennessee is decidedly opposed to the proposed new party movement in that state. Ignatius Donnelly, thee radical roarer, of Minnesota, has announced an armed neutrality. If the party runs his candidate Ignatius Donnelly, well ; if any other man, “I. D.’s agin him.” The prohibition men ofKenne bee county, Me., have laid aside the temperance issue, and are con ducting the campQgjn solely on the platform on opposition to cap ital punishment. » Theodore Tilton is ambitious of going to the polls with Mrs. Stanton on one arm and Miss Anthony on the other. TheoJdre will find himself a third parity man those days. So many elections frauds are discovered'in the Third district of Alabama that it is probable Mr. Parkinson will contest the seat of Heflin, declared elected by 141 majority. In one poll box in Talladega, over 200 illegal votes for Heflin were discovered.

Dorsey B. Thomas is spoken of pretty generally for speaker oUthe Tennessee state senate, while others are urging the name of Enmund Cooper. Two years ago, at Piqua, 0., Lieut. Gov. Lee said: “The negroes are better qualified to vote than the Irish or Dutch. Lee is a candidate for re-election.

Saxe, the poet, says be ran twice as the democratic candidate for govenor of Vermont, and came within one of being elected each time. That was the candidate who ran against him. Harvey Jewell, speaker of the Massachusetts house of representatives, and brother of the Connecticut govenor, indulges in a hope of securing the radical nomination for govenor of Massachusetts. The friends of Gov. Claflin, however, insist that he is entitled to a renomination, and the leading radical organs also favor his.claims. Our Turn Must tome. Generation after generation, says a fine writer, have felt as we now feel, and their lives were ac tive as our own. They passed like vapor, while nature wore the same aspect of beauty as when her Creator commanded her to be. The heavens shall be as bright over our graves a« they noware around our path". Yet a little while aud all will have happened. The throbbing heart will be stilled and shall be at rest Our funeral will find its way, and prayers will be said, and then we shall be left a lone in silence and darkness fol the worms. And it may be a short time we shall be spoken of, but the things of life will creep in, and our names wdl soon be forgotten* Days will continue to move on, and song and laughter will be heard

in the room where we died; and the eye which mourned for us will be dried and glisten again with joy, and even our children will cease to think of us, and will not remember to lisp our names. Remarkable River and Surprising Ecbo. Colonel Powell, in letters describing his exploration of the Colorado river, says that at the point where the Yampa river enters the Green, the river runs along a rock about seven hundred feet high and a mile long, then turns sharply round to the right and ruits back parallel to its former course for 1 another mile, with the opposite side of its long narrow rock for its bank. On the east side of the river opposite the rock and below the Yanpa, is a little park just large enough for a farm. The river has worn out hollow domen in this sandstone rock, and standing • opposite, words are repeated with i a strange clearness, but softened, mellow tones. Conversation in a loud key is transformed into magical music. One can hardly believe that’tis his own voice. In some places two or three echoes come back, in others the echoes teemselvel are repeated, passing forth and back across the river, for there is another rock making the eastern wall of the little park. Some thought they could count ten or twelve echoes.
