DAILY JOURNAL. A. H. SANDERS, EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR.

CITY OP BVANSYILLE: TTEDESDAV MOIKVIXG. FEB. 6, Steamboat Bills. We are prepared to prnt steamboat Bills, all sizes and colors, Cards, do. do., Bills Lading, Manifest Heads, Registers, &c. in Louisville style and at Louisville prices. Our Wabash river friends can get their printing done with us cheaply and neatly as at any city on the rivers. We have large and small cuts of late and handsome design. For speci mens of our Bills, see those printed at this office for the Wabash steamers North Carolina, Gen. Bern, Visitor and small bills for Julia. The Administration. A bitter war was commenced against the administration of Gen. Taylor, actually be fore it came into power, by the dirtier por tion of the Democratic press over the Lnion It has been continued with an energy and perseverance, which only enmity, envy and disaDOoinlment could father. There has been no 6tone left unturned, no contemptible manoeuvre, no rascally charge, no villainous deceit, which malice and cunning could bring to bear, but what has been exercised to mis represent and place in false colorings before the people, the present administration. From the Washington Union, quoting Gen. Jackeon's opinions, when the strongest private opinion ever the General expressed, was that of utter contempt for the present editor of the Union down the dirty labyrinth of Locofoco papers, to the sheet pretended to be edit ed by a man who a few months ago was quo ting Whiggery to get office under Gen. Tay lor abuse and defamation have been heaped upon the present Executive and his Cabinet Yet the administration has been daily grow ing in the confidence and affections of th' people. To what this abuse will ultimately elevate it, if these " Democratic" sheets con tinue their scandal, time alone can reveal. Let not the citizens be deceived into the belief, that because this portion of the Press is bellowing so zealously in opposirion to the Ad ministration, it is evidence there is anything wrong about its course. On the contrary, no stronger proof than the enmity ofthese papersneed be desired to convince the people, that the Administration is zealously laboring for the welfare of the country. The Administration neeks no 'f defence" from any quarter. We think it will survive all attacks from enemies abroad and at home and that the citizens have too much good sense to believe the slanders of disappointed office seekers, when they see every thing prospering and flourishing under Whig rule and Gen. Taylor. Railroad Fleeting at Vincennes. Owing to the copy of the Vincennes Sun which came yesterday morning being taken from our desk, we did not see the proceedings of the Railroad meeting till too late for insertion in to-day's Journal. They will be given in full to-morrow, as this city is deeply interested in the extension of the Railroad from Princeton to Vincennes. Wm. Burtch, Esq., was called to the chair Sam'l Wise, and Geo. D. Hay elected Vice Presidents, and John R. Jones and R. Y. Caddington, appointed secretaries. The meeting was addressed by Judge Ellis, Judge Law, Hon. H. B. Shephard, B. S. Whitney, and others. . There wa3 much enthusiasm manifested, and strong arguments offered in favor of extending the Road to Vincennes. Much may be hoped for from the unanimity of feeling. Steamer Julia Blown np ! A dispatch was received yesterday afternoon by Messrs. O'Riley & Mitchell, from Vincennes, stating that the Evansville and Wabash River packet Julia had blown up above Darwin, killing Capt. Prunty, all hands and four passengers. We hope the extent of the fatality may be found, when the full particulars are known, exaggerated. The Julia was a staunch, though small steamer. She left Evansville last Friday for the Wabash river, with some freight. Capt Prunty was with us just before his de parture. His loss will be deeply regretted by all who knew him. The Julia was unfortunate on her last trip down, having as we stated, narrowly escaped total destruction by being thrown by the wind against a pier of the Terre Haute bridge. She was owned principally at New Harmony, and had been purchased especially for the trade. Later and. Better I 1 Just before going to press, the following note was received. The scoundrel who play ed off such a miserable hoax, and threw such a shade of gloom orer the friends and rela tions of those on board the Julia, ought to be bung : Telegraph Office, 7, P.M. Addison H. Sanders, Esq. Just receiv ed a oispatcn trom Vincennes, to O'Riley & BUtcneU, stating the report about the Julia to be false. She has knocked a hole in her hull nothing more. A man came to Vincennes to-day, statine . rumsen to be a hand on the boat, and gave all particulars but is among the missing oow COSBY.

Our representative. This community has been anxiously expecting Mr. Greathouse's promised speech, giving the details of his trials and tribulations

at Indianapolis. The people here are igno rant of what he has been doing for their ben efit, as the Indianapolis papers mentioned his name in their reports of proceedings, so very rarely, that Mr. Greathouse was in a manner buried in obscurity. Even the ladies, " the soul-stirring cause of men's ambition," as he so beautifully describes 'em, did not appear to stir up our honorable Representative s ambition sufficiently to bring forth the la lent .talent of his peculiar mental organization. We know not what Mr. Greathouse did do, except to favor the relief of several feminines, and to signify that young members should not be called upon to come out " flatfooted" on certain measures, if we recollect riohtly doubtless thinking that greenness like afe. should carry its respect. Now we should like to hear Mr. Greathouse speak his constituents would like to hear him all would like to hear what the Vanderburgh Representative has been doing for his coun try in the Legislature. So let him "speak rif ht out in meeting," and we will promise him a large gathering of Whigs and Demo crats, and if any other inducement be requi red, we will become a fellow listener and ufferer. He should not have waited to be thus urged, but we suppose it was only from natural modesty. New Hotel. A large Hotel has been long required by the wants of this city. The Sherwood House is unable to accommodate the traveling community, being constantly filled to overflowing. The Exchange would be in the same condition, if situated mope convenient to the business portion of the city. No objections, we suppose, are made to the style in which both of these prominent houses are kept but we want a Hotel of far larger dimensions than either. We are glad to perceive, that there is an excellent prospect for this want being satisfied the approaching season. A stock company is forming to erect at this place a Hotel probably costing $20.000. The stock has nearly all been taken, and we believe the site selected. We understand this Hotel will be erected at the corner of Water and Locust streets thus being directly lacing the river. and convenient to the most business part of the city. The Press in California. Capt. J. M. Scoficld writes from San Francisco to the New London Star, that Wm. Faulkner, publisher ol the Pacific News, has already made $25.000 by printing that sheet only a few months, and asks $t5.000 for one-third of the cmcern. His expenditures are at the rate of $15X00 a year. He keeps his press running constantly, employs two sets of hands, and has ordered from the Slates a steam press and apparatus for an extensive job of fice. H3Keep it before the people, that G. R. Baker, on Walnut street, above 3d, has no superior in taking measures and making shirts to order. f Lin. Com. That is a very good satire on our cotem-i porary's " keep it before the people." but of much more importance to the community. Ud'The New Albany Ledger comes to us dressed up in new and beautilul type. This is encouraging. We once knew the Whig party when its motto was " principles, not men" anon, we knew it when it was "principles and men" and we now find it, "men without princi ples.1 Aaveruser. We don't think so, or Ben would have got the Post Office which he was so desirous of holding under the Administration now in power. We have an indistinct recollection some thing like a dream that in the year of our Liora one .tnousand eight hundred and lorty i I. tin ' f rt t . seven, tne wings oi lennessee hoisted the flag of Gen. Taylor for the Presidency; that tney kept it steadily Muttering to the breeze until victory perched upon its folds. Nash. Union. And the Union may doubtless have an" in distinct recollection," that the Whigs of a good many other States did the same thing, But it is not often that we see a Democratic paper so willing to revive these recollections as the Unian appears to be. !C"Gov. Wright, of Indiana, has ordered the following appropriate and patriotic senti menr, to be placed upon the block of marble from this State, fbr the Washington Monu raent : INDIANA Knows no North, no South: nothing but the Union ! IC!3 The steamer Whirlwind has been purchased by the Messrs. Patrick, and will hereafter run as a regular packet between St. Louis and Cairo. H3"The store of Watts & Given, at Paducah, Ky., narrowly escaped destruction on Tuesday morning last, by a quantity of lime taking fire, in consequence of the rapidly rising waters of the Ohio, which penetrated hecelhir. Fortunately it was discovered in time to prevent any damage being done.

Cnriuaitiei. Although the idea carried out in the fol

lowing ' Curiosities for the National Mu seum," is rather old and stale, yet we do not feel disposed to withhold them from those who want " a few more of the same soit." "W. C." sends us the following Curiosi ties : Evansville, Feb. 3, 1850. 1st. A g'lt letter, from one of the "signs of the times." 2nd. A coffin, supposed to contain one of the "dead languages." 3d. A little grease, from the identical spot " where the candle went to, when it went out." 4th. One of the " three sheets" which are so often ' in the wind." (Bather -worn.) 5th. A button and piece of tape frora the ;' shift of fortune." 6th A finger nail, from the "hand of Time." 7th. Some meat, roasted in the " heat of excitement." 8th. A trap, with which to " catch a cold." 9th. A sample of the yeast that makes the " sun rise.' W. C. id"Garri3on, the Abolitionist, is out in favor of disunion. He says : " The time has come to preach disunion on the highest moral and religious grounds. The constitution of the United States is a 'covenant with death and an ajrreement with hell.' In the name of God, of Christ, of humanity, of liberty, i must be denounced and repudiated by all who revere God, love Christ, regard humanity. and cherish liberty, " &c. tf A correspondent of the Cannelton Economist offers to gtvg $5,000 towards the erection of a college in that place, on condi tion that the additional sum oi $15 000 shal be raised during the present year. This is certainly a very liberal offer, and the Econo mist 6ays that the gentleman who makes it will abide by his proposition. Drowned. The Terre Haute Courier o the 2d says that on the Wednesday previous a man named Teague was drowned in Otte Creek. He rode into the creek on a horse to ascertain the depth of the water previous to crossing wich a wagon, when he was swept away, and drowned in the presence ot his wife and child. Glencoe. Was here yesterday all day loading for New Orleans. She took on hoard at Evansville. for Harrington. Crane & Co 1200 barrels Pork; O'Riley & Mitchell, 1000 barrel fork ; and 3000 sacks Corn for Bab. cock Brothers and O'Ri'ey & Mitchell, with other ireight. Mr. Bowcock. her clerk, wilj consider us under favors for Louisville papers, jE3Hon. Daniel Webster and Hon. Ru fus Choate, it is said, have refused a fee of $2000, to undertake the defence of Dr. Web ster. Even if this be the case, it does not prove any belief either one way or the other in the guilt or innocence of the accused. !d"The communication of "Lykergus,' sent us from Owensville, is inadmissable Want of merit, principal objection!. Try again, and take a more elevated subject. Gladiator. The Gladiator was down from Cincinnati yesterday morning, bringing Saturday's dates. Our ancient friend W. L. Görden, Esq., was kind in leaving us a a pack age of papers. Jt3The Belle Key arrived at Evansville on Tuesday evening. She left N. Orleans on the 29th. Jr3The weather has moderated from the extreme cold ol Sunday and Monday. Yes terday was cool and bright. River still continues falling fast. Extensive. Sanders, of the Evansville Journal credits the Missoitri Republican with an estimate of steamboat losses during 1S49, putting the amount down at $200,000000, or more! '-And including," says Sanders, "'accidents to fiats, keels. &.C.. the same miffht be safely set down at $2,500,000.000." Rather a superfluity of ciphers, we should think. St. Louis Union. So we thought at the time, but like the printers we " follow copy if it goes out of the window." Call the Republican to account. Jt" A lawyer," said Lord Brougham, in a facetious mood, "is a learned gentleman who rescues your estate from your enemies and keeps it himself." Another Locofoco Defaulter. The Washington correspondent of the North American says in his last letter: I hear of another Locofoco defalcation; but the particulars I have not heard so fully as to warrant a puoucation oi names, cic. The scene lies South,, and the money disappeared in the mist of the Mexican war. The amount is about 60 or 70 thousand dollars. Grace Grenwood's Profanity. She said of an old mill which had gone to decay, the water having dried away in its stream, that " it wasn't worth a dam." S3"Alex. Duncan, of Providence, has presented $20,000 to the Butler Hospital for the Insane. ECfHenry Clay, Jr., is among the passen gers on the Niagara just arrived from Europe.

Spread op Lüxüry, The Dayton Tran

script gives the following item in relation to the spread of luxury, in these modern days: In 1817 there were but two pleasure car riages of any description in Dayton. One was owned by Mr. Cooper, and the other by Mr. H. G. Philips. Everybody who traveled went on horseback. The Auditor's re port, this year, shows thai there are now fifteen hundred pleasure carriages m the county, which are valued at $94,UUU. JQ-The Editor of the Belleville Advocate is "down on" N." P." Willis, of the Home Journal, in a two column article. We hope Willis will feel considerably diminished, as well as oudaciously chawed up. Jl3"Our subscribers to the Weekly must bear with us for taking up so much room for a few weeks with the Mail Letting advertise ment, as we assure them if it be not entirely for their good, it is for ours, which with us is a very prominent consideration. Defaulters Since the present administration came in to power, Locofoco office-holders, charged with the keeping oi the public lunds under the provision ol the Sub Treasury law. have ben detected in defalcations to the amount of about $2.000.000. They have appropriated this amount, some halt dozen ot them, to their own uses, with the penalties of the Sub l reasury law, a law oi tneir own ana their party's making, full and j lain before their eyes, these penalties however seemed to have no terrors lor tneni. liiey never dreamed that a law, which they had done so much to enact, and which they had praised so extravagantly, could ever let its punish ments be inflicted on them. 1 hey never co iceived for an instant that its punishments could be visited on any other persons than Whigs. In lact we are told they had per suaded themselves that the provisions ol the law actually designated the Whigs and ap plied exclusively to them, leaving the Loco focos at liberty to steal as much as they pleas ed. It 6eems, however, that one of the provisol the aub-1 reasury Inv is in these words Any otiieer charged with the sale keeping ol the public moneys, who shall loan, use. de posit in bank, or exchange anv portion ol them, shall be deemed guilty of felony, he imprisoned not less than six months, nor niore than years, and be fined in an amount equal to the sum thus embezzled. Any failure to pay over the money required, shall be deemed prima facie evidence of such einbezzelement. ' , . And thus the astounding fact is revealed, that the penalty'of the la-w, owing possibly to some blunder or oversight on the part of its Lioeoloso tramers, is applicable to Whigs and Locofoeos alike. 'Tis now too late for them to remedy the evil. So let the defaulters settle their accounts. Those of them who have got the pecuniary means can eettle with the officers of Government. Thos who have not will have to settle with the wardens of the penitentiaries. Lou. Jour. Another Crevasse. We are informed that the river broke through the levee at Gen. Lacoste's plantation, about seven miles below Algiers, on last Sunday night. The levees at this point are very high ; the outer or old one opened by the rush of water a breadth of nearly fifty feet; the inner levee, not long erected, has lost, about sixty feet, and is still wearing away. If the old levee can resist the force of the current, there are some hopes, by its aid, of stopping the crevasse. The Morgan and Poydras plantations, further down and on this side of the river, are also menaced. Being on a point and exposed to the direct action of the swollen and rapid current, they necessarily stand in much danger. At the Morgan plantation anew levee has for some time been in course of erection about a square in the rear of the old one. The continual and 6oakmg rains, together with the great rise in the river, place the levees in a very precarious position. N. O. Picayune, 29lh. ii3A short time since a person in the Western part of this country found, buried in the sand, a nest of eggs. Supposing them to be turtle's eggs, and being passionately fond of that article, he carried them home, and had them properly cooked, and commenced his luscious repast. After eating fourteen, "unsight and unseen," curiosity prompted him to examine the "critters," when upon opening one of those left, he found an infant bine racer beautifully coiled therein. Reader place yourself in his condition, and then you may know his feelings. Oakland Gazette. Germany! Germany!! Br THE "BARD OF BALTIMORE."
