DAILY JOURNAL.

A. H. SANDERS, EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR. CITY OP EV ANSVILLE: miDAT MORNING, FEBBUAllT 22. The Tri-WecUlr Journal. The attention of our business friends at towns on the interior, and on the Wabash, is asked to the Tri- Weekly Evansville Journal. The mails to the principal back towns leave Evansville three times a week, and the 1 n-

Weekly is issued to suit them. To business rjut every body is so busy keeping up with men in town3 on these mail routes, the Tri- the progress ol the age and of his neighbors Weekly Journal, containing all the reading and looking so intently into the future, that matter, markets, &c., of the two preceding the past is forgotten, or regarded as of less imDaihes, would be invaluable. We will take portance with its mighty events, than the time pleasure in forwarding copies for examination to come with its wonders. In Evansville to those desirous of seeing the paper.

The mallness of our Tri-Weekly subscription, has prevented us taking that care in mailing it thus far, which we are determined hereaftertogiveit. We anticipate 60 soon as the Tri-Weekly Journal is known, to have many additions to its subscription list. Railroad Letting'. At a meeting of the Directors of the Evans ville and Princeton Railroad, the contract for the clearing, grubbing and grading of the Railroad from this place to Princeton, twenty six and one-half miles, was awarded to Mr. Hogh Stewart, at the estimate of the En gineer a large portion of which Mr. Stewart takes in stock. The meeting was held yesterday. Mr. Stewart is an old contractor, and is held in high estimation by the people of this community. His name gives assurance to the public, that the work will be carried on with vigilance and the fact of his taking a large portion of his compensation in stock, will give additional confidence to the commu nity that the stock will prove a profitable in vestment. Mr. S. is one of the largest con tractors ön the Wabash and Erie Canal, and is also a contractor on the Tennessee and Chatanooga Railroad, and in other important works. Those who are acquainted with him by reputation, and feel an interest in the Road, will be glad to hear that this contract has been given him. It ensures the work being done well and speedily. Mr. Chas. T. Cutler, formerly of the Journal office, has purchased the Advertiser Job omce, and will continue it under his own su pervision. Jour. This is another of the Journal's false statements. He uttered it knowing that he would be detected. The Journal man knew that the Advertiser job office was "full of work," and that after our foreman and one hand had lelt. tne work couia not possibly be done. Mr. Cutler very kindly took charge of the job office - UUIIUV.10 uiou auvtv likav lui mo Will 1 1 Ul I'i 1 - ters we had to suspend the dailv. How verv roagnanimous. But it is just like the thin - called Sanders. Advertiser. The Advertiser uses strong language. Wc wrote the above item, thinking it certainly correct. Afterwards, we perceived by the Ad vertiser that Mr. Cutler had leased the Job office for an indefinite period of time, which is just the same as if he had purchased it, so far as ownership is concerned. The following is the paragraph published in the Advertiser: Chas. T. Cutler. ' Esq., one of the former proprietors of the Journal, has leased indefi nitely the Advertiser Job Office, where he can always be lound, and ready to execute ail kinds of job work, plain, fancy or colored. He needs no recommendation from us all know him come and see the work. We know nothing about the job office " want of printers," or anything else connected with the mechanical department of the

This Legal ceremony was performed on Saturday week, in the Supreme Judicial Court at Boston. The accused responded "not guilty" in a firm voice. He announced that Mr. Sohier and Judge Merrick were hi counsel, who, being in Court, expressed a desire to have the trial commenced as 60011 as possible. Tuesday, the 19th of March, was assigned by the court as the day for the trial. The Boston Journal says: The. prisoner during the reading of the Brst ot the indictment, manifested considera pie emotion, evidently making an effort to stand perfectly firm. In reading the first count in the indictment, where it describes ine manner 01 inflicting the mortal wounds, just as the clerk pronounced the words '-with a certain knife which he then and there in his right hand had and held." &c. the prisoner let his right hand flill and rest upon the railing in front of him, where it remained until the reading was finished.

"Washington's Birth Day. The time appears to be passing, when Washington's Birth Day will be annually recognized by public exhibitions of that feeling

of love and veneration and honor, which in olden times the day was wont to inspire among the people. The 22d of February was formerly celebrated all over the Union with demonstrations which impressed the fo reiner with the greatness ol Washington: and the cratitude of a people. But now the Anniversary of the birth of the Father of hi Country is nots generally commemorated as the Sth of January, or the birth of Franklin and there an orator will speak ofthejreat man, and the drums and files of military com panies will beat and squeak in applause but with every passing anniversary, the cornmemoraiion appears to be growing 'ainler hill we doubt not it will eventually die away. except among those old-school and old fash ioned people who love the memories and glories of the past even better than the joys of the present, or the wondrous anticipations of the future. ' ' : - JtfMessrs. T. C. Twichell & Co., For warding and Commission Merchants at New Orleans, have our thanks lor their attention in sending us a Picayune of the 14th, by the Bostona. We have frequently noticed their politeness in this particular and. many of our citizens receive similar-favors,1 which are even more useful to them than, they are to us and for which they no doubt feel - under obligations. The House of Twichell cVCo., is one of the largest and best known in New Or leans. Clay's Resolutions. A gentleman who came down yesterday on the Emily, and who is just from Washington, says that he was in formed by a Whig Senator, that he did not believe Clay's Resolutions would receive a dozen votes in the Senate. We think he will find himself mistaken. They may be amended, but we believe they will pass. , fd" The Emily was down yesterday from Louisville, for Tennessee river. Our Fore man came down on her, and returns his thanks to the Captain for ' chalking his hat." in other words doing up the honors, and giving him a passage free of expense ; and we thank the Captain for the compliment paid the Journal office in this, and the clerk for a large package of papers.

The followingls advice ton young lady, with whom a very chat ty correspondence appears to have undergone Philadelphia, October 16. 1755. DearKaly Your favor of the 23th June came to hand but the 23d September, just three months after it was written. I had two weeks before written you a long chat, and sent it to the care of your brother ward. I hear you are now in Boston, gay and lovely as usual. Let me give you some fatherly advice: Kill no more pigeons than you can eat. 3e a good girl, and don't foget your catechize; go constantly to meeting or church, till you get a good husband; then stay at home and. nurse ihe children. Spend your spare hours in sober whist, prayers, or learning to cypher. You must practice addition to your husband's estate by industry , and frugality. Subtraction of all unnecessary expenses. Multiplication-rz will soon make you master of it. As to division, I say, with brother Paul, "Let there be no division among ye;" but as your good sister Hubbard (my love to her) is well acquainted with the rule of tico, I hope you will become so expert in the rule of ttree, that when I have again the pleaure of seeing you I may find you like my grape vine, surrounded with clusters, plump, juicy, blushing, pretty little, rogues, just like their mamma. Adieu the bell rings, and I must go amongthe grave ones and talk politics. B. r.

The Waltz of the Wolves. Wolves abound in the waste and desolate

woods along Leaf River, Louisiana. A year or two since, a wedding being about to come on" there, it was necessary to send some twelve miles lor an old ': nigger fiddler," who was indispensable at every frolic, quiltin', or house raising forty miles round. A wild, hilly, unsettled country lay between. In the mean time the company gathered, the squire nerlormed the ceremony, the groom had ta ken half a dozen "horns" with his particular !nends. and tlie jests at his expense had all been perpetrated and laughed at. The bride and the young ladies sat ranged round the room, like so many statues pinned to the wall. The bashful gallants stood outside, about the door and windows, anxious to be in, but re luctant to approach, and urging each other to break the ice." The Squire and a knot of old 'uns were talking politics, and, as the evening was warm cruzzling every ten minutes from a huge liump-sliouiuereu, snort-necked, lour-siaeu bottle, several of which might be 6een on a stump before the door, while a score of mat rons in white caps ana aprons, by the blaze of lisTht-wood torches were bustling about the supper-table in an adioining house. At length the girls began to yawn. The pretty bride herself grew drowsy. A scraping of feet was heard in the gallery, and one or two impatient young bucks commenced '-shuffling." cracked their t.eels together, and cutting the "pigeonwing." Still no fiddler came. Hour after hour rolled by supper was deferred the drinks came faster and stronger the yawning more frequent among the ladies the talking louder among the gentlemen around the stump, and yet ."Old John" was not forthcoming. As the night wore on, and the seven stars were high in the heavens, the impatience of the company became unbounded, and it was suggested that he should be sent for. . A wedding without a fidder was not considered law ful, and the Squire swore there should be no greasy doings" or '"chicken hxins" till old John came. The idea flashed across them that perhaps he hat! been beset by. wolves. No sooner was this thought of, than half a do zen young fellows mounted, and galloped town tne path that led to the forest. About lour miles distant stood a waste house, and as they approached it, an infernal howling was heard, and now and then, amidst the din, the squeaking of a fiddle. The old place had long been reported tobe "haunted." One moment the boys listened with surprise. The howl of a single wolf had no terrors lbr them, but the diabolical serenade from a dozen, and the twanging of the catgurin that dark old house, Davy Crockett himself couldn't have stood it, so they "turned tail" and -cut dirt" lbr the place they came lrom, and reported that the devil had nabbed old John; and was then at the haunted house, dancing a break dawn with a gang of she-wolves for his partners! So wonderful a story, supported by sundry emphatic oaths, threw everything into confusion. The young ladies didn't quit go into "duck fits," but they exchanged mysterious looks, and gathered round a withered old wo man, whose voice sunk into a whisper as she related strange tales of that deserted dwelling, The squire, the oracle of the settlement, dis credited the story.., He took a big drink and insinuated that the boys had tipped the botlle once too often before they set out. and roundly swore that he "would face all the wolves in Leaf river, and all the devils in h 11, if the company would buck him!" A horn all round was taken on the strength of this speech, and, in a few minutes, the men were all en route tor the scene ol action, They rode on in great glee for a mile or two, but gradually lapsed nito silence, and at lengtl the woll chorus came floating on the breeze and then the sharp notes of a fiddle were distinctly heard. The horsemen dismounted. and crept on cautiously, concealed by the bushes, toward the haunted cabin. At that moment tee moon burst forth, and, within the building, might be seen the old fiddler, poised in the air, playing a Virginia reel, while a Crowd ot wnlvea nr flmnna Tt-urr lonninrr bounding and howling to the music ! A coun cil was called. The company, satisfied that it really was the devil, voted an immediate retreat, but the Squire jrrked out hisprayerKooK, and swore he "would run his nose through the chinks, if every man scringed lrom him. ' tie started forward, with book in hand, while two others, half afraid and hall ashamed, dropped into line. The nearer he got, the louder and more devoutedly he spoke. The howling became terrific; the fiddling grew sharper, and suddenly the din and yell rose to such a tremendous key that human nature couldn't stand it. The line paused, then broke in every direction, and the Squire, shouting "devil take the hindmost,': mounted his ' singecat," and was the first to carry the word to the ladies. There was n sleeping that night. The rose leaf on the bride's cheek paled away; the jessamine dropped on her raven 1 ocks, though nourished by the sigh that came ever and anon from her gentle bosom. The groom sat by, clasping her velyet hands, and gazing with long, fend looks into her lustrous eyes. At length d ly canie,anj a more haggard.disappointed set was never seen. It was determined once more to repair to the fatal spot. There was a clear sky and a sparking breeze. They road boldly forward.. There stood the house. The tumult was as loud as ever. A dozen wolves leaped up and down panting for breath, their eyes red and fiery, their tails switching furiously ; and there, on the joist was perched not the devil but old John himself! The story is 6oon explained. He had set out rather late, on the preceding evening, for the wedding. Night overtook him among the hills, and he soon heard the ravenous creatures on his track. Nearer and nearer they came; faster and faster he fled, but still they gained upon on him. He dropped his ha: that detained them an instant. He threw down his coat they stopped to scent it, but the next moment on they came, in full view. Almost desperate, he tore off his shirt, out they mrely paused to toss it in the air. Their pray was just before them, and on they rushed. The fugitive dashed' into the cabin; bounded convulsively to the joice, and ai tne instant mat he swung himself from the floor, the whole troop plunged madly in, gnashing their teeth. andfrantirT for blood. Finding himself secure, and recovering his composure, he elided along the beam and closed the door, thus imprisoning the whole gang. He then braced himself up, unlung the fiddle, and began to play, in hopes ' of being heard, and to keep himself awake.

John, like most of his drowsy race, was apt

to sleep, and to avoid it, rattled of his jigs till day-light, ineenectot tne music on tue wolves was singular. They leaped up incessantly, foaming at the mouth, snapping at each other, howling hideously, and, to nil annearance. raving mad. John was soon relieved ; the monsters snoi ana ecatpeu. The company repaired back to the ladies, , i , , converted the supper into a breaklast, had a roaring carouse, and the ruins oi me nauned house" are still to be eeen on the waters of Leef river. A Great SpeecliMarriase Divorce. From a neighboring County in the Hoosier State, on a Senat bill for the divorce of jIrs. Martin; delivered on the 2lti inst., in the House of Representatives, of Indiana. Mr. Speaker : I'm opposed to the bill most religiously opposed to it. Marriage is a contract honored by time, and sanctioned by the wise and learned of all ages, fiom Confucius and Zoroaster, down to Mr. Bulwer and Pierce Butler. Its effects have not been more blessedly general than generally bles sed. Hear! hear!! We ourselves are liv ing monuments, perpetuating and establishing the fact. fSome of the members considerab'y excited, particularly Mr. Vanderburg.l It has poured a deluge of inexhaustible sun light over the heaving waters of superlatively civilized society. It has been the only solitary fetar. shedding and emitting its glorious efiulger.ee, and unrivalled splender, cloudlessly over the opaque conglomeration of shadows which have enveloped the heathen and savage since the "tune whereol the memory of man runneth not to the contrary." All nations, all classes, all ages have sipped ofits cup of bliss, inlaid with flowers of gold, sweet er than brandy toddy, and not halt so scarce is bee honey from Alt. Hymettus. Air. igo united. Alter the "doorkeeper had success fully peilbrmed the operation of "carrying him out," Mr. Buncumbe continued:! This mighty globular sphere, upon which we stand and have our being, had basked, like an ichneumun, beneath the shadows of its ever green palmetto. - - "Recubant sub tegmine." It hits blessed the darkly discolored aborig inal, upon his return from the delectable war path, shri. ing Iiis infernal howl, and waving his . incarnated scalps in the horror-stricken air. like "star-spangled banners." 'Oil, long may ihev wave. O'er the land of the free and the home of ihe brave. I lremendous cheering lrom the wnoie House.! It has blessed the white-locked, tall-formed, hazlenut-eyed Hoosier, trotting home lrom his maize held, where the herbiferous stalks reached to a no more particular altitude than the knee ot his last parental "little one.' It has rewarded the poen of Mexico, the serf of Russia, the canaille of France, the bourgeoise or Germany, thedirk haired Italian; the mandarin of China, the third-caste Brahmin, and the wake-drunkards of "Erin-go-bragh." Its ceremonies have been solemnized in the Sanhedrim of the Jew, beneath the obelisks of the Egyptian, in the hundred-pillared temple ol the Assyrian magi, the floating gardens of the Aztes, the marble palace of Nero, the Rome-burner, and the, pictured walls of the Louvre of Louis's. The fiend plo wman. Desolation, drove his one-eyed 'self-6harpener" over the walls of Priam, the Trojan, because his heir-presumptive dared desecrate it; Heroes and demi-gods have tilted and perished in its maintuinance. Historians have gilded the cages of their deathless chronicles with its bonfires and illuminations. Druids have awakened their wild cythesas, and poets s'mng their horse-hair harps in its glory, and to sing its consummations. . Ah! who will Ibrget, v ltile his heart is yet suspectableot an emotion, the sufferings of the virtuous People, as sung by the blind Gracian, whose name Crabbe should have used as the synonyme for immortality? who can forget the wild-harped hymns of Össian the sweet fancies of Spencer or the sublime illusions of Milton? Where lives the man wh ise soul has not chuckeled ovpt the stanzas of Tom Moore, and 'danced in pride" on the cantos of Byron? These, Mr. Speaker, 1 deem unanswerable, indefeasible considerations antagonistical to this infernal bill. ' I conclude, sir, in the parthetic language of Mr. Webster, . orator for all times and all subjects "Let it rise till it meet the sun in its coming, that the hr.st rays ol tne morning may gild it, and parting day linger and play round its summit." Mr. Speaker, leVs icet! The Speaker fainted. Mr. Cut and the Ladies. A Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia North American says: ' Of the many brilliant scenes witnessed in the Senate chamber, none I venture to assert, surpassed that presented to-day. As early as eight o'clock, ladies and gentlemen began to take their seats in the galleries, which were filled to overflowing hours before the meeting of the Senate, at twelve o'clock. At eleven it was found that not a tithe of the ladies who were applying for admission could even enter the doors of the gallery, and directions were given to admit them into the privileged portions of the chamber below. In an incredible short time every inch of room was occupied, and even the floor and seats of the Senators were taken possession of. Every approach to the chamber was clogged up by the people crowding and jostling in a vain attempt to gain admission. And what was it gathered this dazzling array of beauty, and this immense throng of people ? io pageant was expected. There was none of the glittering show, the portp and display which in other countries draw crowds to witness, it may be a royal speech or an imperial coronation. What then was it that caused such an intense desire to be present which had crowded the chamber with all the grace and beau'y of Washington ? It was to hear an old man speak ! Aye, but a man who had. on more than one occasion, earned the nation's gratitude by pouring oil upon the angry waters of civil contention. It was homage paid to intellect. It wa3 the spontaneous offering of a people to the master-mind of their illustiious orator.
