For the Journal. Mr. Editor: I take advantage of your

proffer of the columns of the Journal to those

desirous of talking about Temperance and

License matters, to ask a question. Ihe most prominent temperance man in this city,

one of the most ultra, and one who has been most forward in the difficulty between you and the Sons of Temperance who will go

almost any length in support of his " principles " is a candidate for office at the approaching City election. As a candidate for nnother office, is another Son of Temperance. So lar good. I respect them the more for beincr members of this Order. But I wish to D

ask the Sons of Temperance in this city,

Gen. Taylor's Plan.

All the schemes of politicians, or statesmen,

to settle the slavery question, especially as it franiiy and openly, what they think ot that relates to California, seem tobe revolving in- devotion to "principles" which will allow

to the plan offered by Gen. Taylor. At this these brethren to- declare in their announcemoment, notwithstanding the abuse which ments, that if so instructed by the vote of the

political opponents and the charges of in

competency, and of that plainness of speech, manner and person, which these enemies have sought to bring in as evidence of his unfitness for the exalted station he occupies he has proven that he knows better what the people want, than some of our best statesmen and that his common sense views of the

exciting subject, stand a fairer chance of be-

to those opposed to License, I ask this ques

tion and I ask it of men, the majority of

whom I presume occupy the same position in

regard to the question. Here are men opposing License on moral principles attacking an

Editor because he has in a business manner

For the Journal. At a meeting of Lyman Beecher Division No. 25 Sons of Temperance, held at Temperance Hall, on Tuesday evening, March 26th, 1850 : the following preamble and resolutions

were unanimously adopted, save the vote of

Bro. John Iingle, Jr., who protests. Whereas, a committee was appointed by

Temple of Honor Division, No. 54, to correspond with the Editor of the Evansville Jour

nal, in order to correct certain statements contained in the columns ofthat paper, charg

ing in general terms that certain Sons of

Temperance had dishonored the Order by violating their pledges of abstinence ; and

whereas said committee addressed a commu

nication to the Editor aforesaid, vindicating the honor of their Division in reference to the accusations referred to, which communication

was published in the Journal of ; ssterday ;

and whereas the Editor of the Journal ex

pressed a belief that the statements of the

Committee's commuication would not be en

dorsed by any considerable number of the

Sons of Temperance of this city : There

fore,

Resolved, That Lyman Beecher Division

cheerfully sanctions the sentiments and state

ments contained in the communication of the

committee aforesaid, believing them tobe al

most the unanimous sentiments of this Division

of our Order.

Resolved, That a copy of the foregoing be

sent to A. H. Sanders, Esq., with a request that he will publish the same in the Daily

Journal.

JAMES T. WALKER. R. S. March 26th, 1850.

From the Cincinnati Commercial. Indiana Railroads. L. G. Curtiss: I enclose to you the statement requested. I leave a blank as to the distance of Mr. Mitchell's survey to Vincen nes, which I do not recollect. You can doubtless supply it by reference to the pub

lication made at the time.

Important Mail Decision. The Post

master General has just decided that the dif

ferent departments of the Government are prohibited from sending letters and newspa

pers to officers and seamen in the Navy, and

U. S. officers in foreign countries.except those

on official business from the Department. It

has been the custom lor many years, lor the

friends of those persons to forward private

letters through the departments, instead ot

through the regular mail, and thos depriving that Department of thousands of dollars an

nually oF its legitimate claims. We also

learn that there are some thousand's of letters

now in Washington which will not be sent, as

heretolore, through the Departments. ßalt. Pat.

IdThere may be reason in changing the

rule, but there certainly can be none in not forwarding the " thousands of letters now in

Washington." That is grossly unjust J but

it is in keeping wit.i the rascally mismanage

ment of the whole department under the Tay'

lor reign. Slate Sentinel.

Just about in keeping, and just about on a

par with the other rascally charges mad

against this administration. The " thousands of letters now in Washington," although they

will not be forwarded through these depart

ments, they will yet be forwarded as letters

are to others of our American citizens i

the same manner we here have to receive our letters by mail. The Sentinel knew well enough there was no intention of keeping these letters from their right owners. But thus it is with every act of the administration intended to benefit the country or treasury.

It is falsified, and set down as ' rascally mismanagement."

The citizens of Lawrenceburg are determined to push their Railroad with all becoming speed. In town meeting last week, it was resolved that the city should subscribe for $20,000 additional stock, and a tax of I per cent, be assessed for its prompt payment. This is in addition to $40.000 before taken. G. H. DUNN.

LAWRENCEBERGta, Ind., March 18, 1850. The railroads made, making or projected

n southern and central Indiana, are as fol-

ows : Beginning on the Ohio river, at Ev

ansville, we find a railroad chartered to Vin-

nes, some dU miles ot which has recently been put under contract, ami the stock fcr its construction, entM-e, for that distance, is said to

be subscribed. 1 his road is intended to be

continued up the Wabash, at least as far as

Terre Haute, but the Legislature refused

he charter beyond Vincennes. Next is a

road from New Albany north, intended to

pass by Salem, Bedford, Greencastle and

Crawlordsville to Lalayette. 1 he distance to Salem, 31 miles, is graded, and the super

structure is now laying down, and another letting has taken place, we believe as far as

Bedford, abont 30 miles. Next in order is

the railroad from Jeffersonville to Columbus, about 78 miles, one-half of which is graded. Above this, 50 miles, is the Madison and Indianapolis railroad; distance 90 miles entire

ly finished and in operation. And again, 7o miles farther above, is the Lawrenceburgh and Upper Mississippi railroad, with its three

branches: one toKushville, one to lndianapo lis and one to Columbus. 20 miles of this road, next to Lawrenceburgh, was let out

last summer, and is to be huished the present

season.

Continuing our view of the roads that run

north and south, we find at Indianapolis one extending to the Wabash at Peru, some 20 or 30 miles of which is graded and the superstructure going on. Next, somewhat north

west, is the Indianapolis and Lafayette Rail

road, part of which is graded and the rest

progressing.

1 here are some other roads extending Aorth

from the Wabash, but of their condition and

prospects we are notinlormed.

Looking next at the roads running in an

Eastern or Western direction, we see one

from Terre Haute to Indianapolis, designed

to be continued by Richmond to Dayton and

Springfield, in Ohio, and from which there

is no doubt an arm will be brought down from

Richmond by Eaton, to Hamilton. The line

of this road between Terre Haute and Green

Emigrants. A company of emigrants for

California, numbering one hundred and twenty, was on board the steamer J. L. McLean,

which boat arrived here yesterday. This company was formed in Pittsburgh and Cincinnati, and intends to take the overland route to California. Sixty horses arid mules with

their necessary trappings, belonging to the Company, were on the same boat. TELEGRAPH DISPATCHES.

Boston, March 25. Prof. Webster's trial has been more pain

fully interesting this', the sixth day, than any

of the previous days. The pecuniary trans

actions of Prof. W. have been raked open in

a way to show that there was no truth in him ; that he could not have had the money

which he says he paid Dr. Parkman ; and that

he at first asserted having settled with Dr.

P. at a certain time and subsequently named

another time. The deposit of $90 by him

the day after he said he had paid Dr. Parkman

is a fact which sent a shudder through the court room. His counsel will have to work a miracle to save him. The details of the ar

rest by officer Clapp, and the interview with

the Rev. Francis Parkman, the brother of the deceased, as related by that clergyman, produced a deep impression. The tameness of

the cross examination was very alarming.

Dr. Webster seemed to sink as the confidence

in his favor ebbed away. St ill we have not

heard the other side.

Boston, March 26. Everything looks dark for the prisoner this

will be acquitted have almost expired. The

From Rushville, by Conuersville and Liber

ty, to Hamilton, there exists an old charter,

to which late movements have given some consequence. A charter was this winter obtained and put at the adjournment of the Legislature of Indiana, while all things were in great confusion, for a road from Rushville to the National Road at Lewisville, or any other point on the National Road not within

15 miles of Kingstown. Lewisville is east of

Kinsstown, and the Kingstown people were

makinff a road' south to Shelbyville. and the

reason of the restriction of not within 15 miles before twelve competent jurors were found. of Kingstown was to protect that company There was an immense crowd in attend-

from the completion of a new road. Yet the word east not being in the chartei , it is by its friends construed; that they can cross the

Kingstown road and run to Indianapolis west,

because that is more than 15 miles from

Kingstown
