DAILY JOURNAL.

A. II. SANDERS EDITOR ; AND PROPRIETOR. CITY OF E7AHSVILLE : SATIUÜAV MATT 11. Flanking Streets, .. The Editor of the New Orleans Bulletin has been writing several strong articles, in favor of planking the levee ana several of the i .... principal streets ot the Urescent City. Several correspondents also support the plan. Wherever planking has been tried, whether on roads or m the streets of towns, we believe they have invariably given satisfaction. But when we see one of the best papers in a crowded city, advocating the planking of streets, continually lined with drays, wagons. &c, the citizens ot this place should feel that there can be no danger in an experiment, on a street so comparatively little used as Main street is by the side of the New Orleans thoroughfares. We wish to see Main street planked, because the experiment, if experiment it may be called, can be better tested on it than on any other street probably requiring improving quite as much as Main, If citizens are pleased whh ther planking experiment, then they can apply it to other streets. People from various sections of the neighboring country, will have an opportunity of examining this peculiar kind of road, which many of them may be called upon to assist in building in their own neighborhoods. Can't Come in. The communication of W. O. C, Mechamcsviile, " A New Yorker's First Coon Hunt," is inadmissable. In the first place, the author has not given us his name. Secondly, although the author shows himself abundantly capable of writing an interesting sketch, he has failed in this instance. Iiis narration is utterly without point, which is a grand essential to productions of the nature of this Coon Hunt. And thirdly, we cannot for the life of us see the fun, evidently so highly appreciated by the writer, of roasting a possum alive. It is our opinion that the young men engaged in the affair, and especially our correspondent, who is the less excusable from his apparent intelligence and education, should have been ducked in the nearest horse pond, for thus treating a poor brute, in whom nature planted an instinct to protect it against just such enemies, which instinct it was their endeavor to overcome by torture. More Subscribers. It affords us unmitigated delight to inform our readers, that by the following letter we are' almost certain of having, by an excellent and wide spread reputation, secured another subscriber, and with fair prospects of obtaining " five or sicks " more. As we have no doubt of being able to prove ourself to this gentleman the " Prentis of Indiana," we shall put his name down right off, and will thank him to send on the reward of merit and modesty, in the shape of two dollars. His letter reads thus: Leavenworth, Ind. Mr. Sanders Dear Sir If you will send your weakly paper to me I will pay you for it. I hav haird a good deal of you as being the Trentis of Indiana, and thot I would takyour paper If i like the Journal I will git you five or sicks subscribers hear, i am a man of considerable influens hear and think I could do you a power of good. I will send you the money if I like the paper. Yours very respectful J. H. J . Address Mr. J. II. J , Esq Leavenworth Ind May 4the 1850. We hope to receive the benefit of Mr. J 's immense influence, and send him a prospectus to assist him alon;. Professional Scamp. A quack doctor has recently located himself about 12 miles from Evansville on a prominent road, and seems determined it . humbuggery and brass can succeed, to run himself into practice. He lately reported it about his neighborhood, that the Small Pox was very bad in Evansville, and advised every body to get vaccinated at once. He produced an alarm, and vaccinated many persons gratis, all for the purpose of obtaining their custom. This is not the first trick he has practised, besides throwing aside all pro fessional etiquette in trying to take patients from other physicians. We have our eye on him, and if by his disgraceful conduct he comes under our notice again, we shall not only give his name and location in full, but he shall be posted in his own neighborhood. The man who would put out such a report as that about the Small Pox, to curry favor, should be kicked from among decent people. Cholera at Cannelton. A gentleman from Cannelton says that a few days ago two persons died of the Cholera in that town, both in one house, and that a third person was supposed to be laboring under an attack when he lett. So he was informed by a citizen, but we hope there may be some mistake. S3The vote in Louisville stood for the new Constitution, 1.7S6 ; for the old, 1,011 the new Constitution thus receiving 775 majority. Every ward in the city gave a majority for the new Constitution. CrWe are indebted to the politeness of Mr. Calvin Frary, lately foreman in this office, and now in Louisville, for an Extra containing the arrival of the Niagara, and fu-ther California news, published in yesterd-ty'a paper.

Beautiful Heroine. "M," the foreign correspondent of the Louisville Journal, in an interesting letter written from the banks of the Danube, speaks of the Hungarians, and of his visit to fort Comorn, two days after its surrender to the Austrians. It was surrendered under singularly favorable terms. In speaking of the Hungarian soldiers parting from this fort, he says : " Among them was a young woman arrayed in uniform who had bravely fought for her country in several battles, and had been promoted to the rank of Adjutant for gallantry. Her face was full of loveliness, and when accompanied by the interest of her story was positively bewitching. But really, apart from all romance, she was very beautiful. In her light silken locks and fair complexion her large, deep blue eyes, in which the tenderness of the dove seemed trenlbling beneath

an eap-le glance there was the charm of womanly softness; and her aqueline nose and exquisitely beautiful mouth, in whose arched lips, pride, beauty, and feeling seemed to contend for.the mastery, completed my beau ideal of a heroine my conception of a Joan of Arc. There was something most noble and lofty in her glance, and yet there was nothing of masculine boldness or boyish pertness about her ; and although dressed in man's attire there waa the charm of modesty about her whole bearing. It will be long ere I forget the lovely defender of Comorn." River Deaths. From the Louisville Courier, we learn that Harry Shaw, the second mate of the mail boat Ben Franklin, died Tuesday evening very suddenly. The boat was lying at Madison receiving freight, and Shaw had just directed one of the crew how to dispose of a box, and then fell down dead, without uttering another word or making a struggle. He was in apparent good health and had made no complaint of sickness. One of the deck hands of the steamer Jno. Adams, fell from the guard on Monday morning) just opposite Owensboro, and was drowned. Three men were sent from the boat for a passenger at the wharf, and by some means the yawl was drawn under one of the wheels, and capsized. The other two men hung on to the guards and were saved. A fireman fell from the Gen. Washington just as she wasleaving Louisville last trip,and was drowned. Going up. Mr. Foster, of the firm of Foster & Brown, has in course of erection, near his old stand, corner of Main and First streets, a brick store house, which, when completed, will be one of the most commodious in the city. It will be three stories in height, and contain two spacious store, rooms on the first floor. The establishment now occupied by Messrs. F. & B. will be moved, we learm to give place to a larger and more elegant one, 60 soon as the house now being built is finished. JCfWe saw a couple Daguerreotypes ta ken by Mr. Teliga yesterday while it was raining dismally, which could not be excelled. The one taken in forty-five seconds was perfect. idy the Congressional proceedings it will be perceived that the Committee of Thirteen has reported, through Mr. Clay, its chairman. iCi'The body of a young lady, apparently about eighteen years old, dressed in her night clothes, was found a few miles below the wreck of the Belle of the West. It is supposed she jumped overheard in her fright, and was drowned. Going it Strong. The Commercial says the receipts for liquor alone at the Burnet House on the Sunday after its opening, were nearly. $1000 ! We suppose this was from sales at the bar, and wines drank at the table. SCr'Protruding from the upper guard of the packet Isaac Newton, last Thursday, ve recognized the handsome phiz of our cotemporary, Hall, of the Indiana Register. He had been favoring the good citizens of Smithland with a sirht at his fascinating fnrnnmn. r ity, and was returning home. ffThe Eastern Mail failed to arrive here Thursday, owing, perhaps, to the unwillingness of packets to carry it, for the present compensation about $1 65 per landing. I he Iron Business. Married on the 20th inst. near Toms river, N. J. by Bern. L. Irons, TIT- T u r- . i . J. ' nii. justpu vjrruni to miss Amanda Irons: ana on tue Zlsl, at Dover. N. J., bv Reni T.

There are ''too many irons in the fire" there. "Old Scratch" will soon get into the heads of the ladies, then old scratches will be visible on the faces of their husbands. Counterfeit. A counterfeit five dollar bill, on the State Bank of Indiana, has just appeared. It can easily be detected by the want of expression in every countenance on the bill, while those of the genuine are distinct and pleasant. A Cruel Hoax. The N. O. Delta, of April 21, says, that the statement that Col. De Russey, and three of his sons had been drowned in Sibley's Lake, near Natchitoches, is a heartless hoax. C" Our Representative, Hon. N. Albertson, has our thanks for his attention in sending a large bound volume, containing the President's Message and various important Government documents.

Death of William Gavif. The following account of the death of Mr. Wm. Gavit, a copy of a letter to Gen. Lane, was handed us yesterday by his brother, our Marshal. Mr. Gavitt left this city about two years ago last March, and has since we believe, been principally in Mexico : San Francisco, Sept. 10th, 1849. His Excellency Gen. Jos. Lane: Thrice before this time I have endeavored to address myself from the gold' region, but doubt very much, that my communications have reached you. You will, I expect, recollect ray name, when remind you of a German travelling companion on your route from Toxano to Tarson, in Sonora, last winter. I owed you the information about the fate of two men employed in your escort. That is a man from Indiana, I believe Wm. Gavett, and our pilot George Waldow. You will recollect that Mr. McKim, of Cincinnati, and myself staid at Tarson to recruit our animals and to get more information about the rich mineral country of that neighborhood. The day after you had started towards the river Gila with your escort, came one deserter in, an American, and a short time after that, another, an Irishman. The next day called Waldow and Bill (as he was commonly called) at my house, and we gave them the information thit Charley was probably on the way back to Lavacca. The Irishman was given in charge of the Commandante, who pledged himself to keep him safe. On new horses, Waldow and Bill.

overtook Charley on the road to Lavacca who was that night asleep in a Mexican camp After a short struggle for his pistols he gave himself apparently up, and pretended to follow them back to join the command. The Irishman, and Charley, who returned with the two citizens to Tarson, were before sundown in my yard, starting with Waldow and Bill willingly back. I noticed when called all four into supper Charley would not cat, but with the expression of a man who is resolved to do anything, pretended to be perfectly calm. I cautioned Waldow. begged him to call on the Mexican Comman dante for a guard, and we, both McKim and myself felt uneasy when they all four started alone on the road. After Charley was moun ted. I examined his holsters, but they had not pistols, though he carried his rifle (not load ed.) Next day the two mules on which the de serters were mounted, came running loose into town. This startled us, and we pre vailed on the Commandante to send soldiers out to look for the party. These soldiers had just reached the La goon ten miles distant from Tarson, when they saw Prima Indians, who had left that morning Tarson, on foot, burying in a sand hill the bodies of Waldow and Bill, which they had drawn with several thingsout of the Lagoon. JtSiu had one ball wound in the forehead Waldow had two wounds in the neck, and, believe, one in the breast. I think that Wal dow and Bill, exhausted, in the night fell both asleep, and were murdered with the re volvers they themselves carried. My friend McKim and myself went out on the place where the deed was committed, got the bodies brought into town, and had them buried inside of the fort, near the church alter tne rites ot the Catholic Church. The Mexican Commandante (commander) de serves our fullest thanks and acknowledge ments for his kindness and good will to us as Americans. It is certainly a great favor to have them our countrymen, buried after the rites of the Holy Church. inat same day I sent an express after you, but he returned pretty soon out of fear ot the Apaches. An express to the Gover nor of Sonora informed him ot the deed, and I did send him a description of the murder ers. On their apprehension the Governor u inaiu ui Jim uu. inose two men supplied with money, which they must have taken from Waldow, have lately been seen, as i neard, on the road to Chihuahua, thought it would be of consequence for Wal aow s and Mr. Gavett's families to get informed of their sorrowful fate and I have herewith reported it to you. I beg of you to accept from me and my friend McKim, who worked all this summer with me in the mines, with very good success, tne expression ot our highest unremitted health, in Oregon, whose citizens I have often and often heard speaking of the universal love and respect from all those wh.i are so happy to be under your protection. Very Respectlully Your ob'dt serv't A. T. WEAVER tpGeo. D. Prentice, Esq., Editor of the Louisville Journal, has been invited by the citizens of Paducah, Ky., to partake of a pub lie dinner with them, given in honor of his long labors as Editor, and the honor he has reflected upon himself, the Press, and his State, by his distinguished services. Being compelled to go East. h. was obliged to de cline the invitation. Prentice merits the honor, as one of the .oldest Editors, and the best, in the West. rCf-The Ci ncinnati Commercial says the Burnet House has been crowded since its opening( and numbers have been turned away. E-A Yankee has just invented a method to catch rats. He says : locate your bed in a room much infested with these animals, and on retiring, put out the light. Then strew over your pillow some strong smelling cheese, three or four red herring, some barley meal or new malt, and a sprinkling of dried codfish. Keep awake till you find the rats at work, and then make a grab !

RIVER AND STEAMBOAT NEWS.

Ohio. On the 8th inst., at Pittsburgh, there were thirteen feet water in the channel and river falling. At same date, there had been a rise of four feet during the previous twenty-four hours, at Cincinnati. On the 9th inst, there were 11 feet water on the falls and the river was rising rapidly. ICfThe steamer Mohawk passed tbis place for N ew Orlen ns early Wednesday morning, but, meeting the steamer Lady Madison between this point and the mouth of Wabash, with several thousand sacks of corn on board for re-shipment, she returned here Thursday morning and received it.

Scott was engaged the early part of Thursday, receiving a large lot of Tobacco from our wharf. It was brought to this point, for reshipment, from Green River. ICr For Louisville papers of Wednesday, we are indebted to Graeff, the accomplished clei k of the Gen. Washington. Id" We noticed eight steamers at our wharf Thursday morning, among which were the Alex. Scott and Mohawk, both busily engaged receiving freight for New Orleans. ICf We are indebted to the kindness of our friend E. G. Bowcock, Esq., clerk of the Glencoe, for late New Orleans papers, and the copy of the boat's manifest, published under the head of Receipts, in to-day's paper. JdIf there is a more accommodating fellow on the river, than B. A. Oglesby, of the Peytona, why just turn him out. We'll "puff" him till he can't rest. Thanks for those papers, Oglesby. JtiMr. Cobb, of Millikin'.. Bend, has purchased Capt. Bass' interest in the steamer Mohawk. The Last Night! As last evening was unseasonable for the ladies turning out, the Heron Family have concluded to give one more entertainment, which will be positively their last in this city. It is useless to speak of their merits, or of the superiority of their singing and acting, as those who have attend ed their previous concerts, know that they are really excellent. There will be this evening an entire change of programme. Little A"--nes alone should be able to claim the price of admission lrom a miser. Üqr-B. S.

Nashville Against the Southern Con vention. On Monday last, the citizens of INashviIIe and Davidson Co., Tenn., held a meeting to consider the propriety of appoint ing delegates to the Southern Convention. After some discussion, it was decided by an overwhelming majority that it was inexpedi ent, to appoint delegates to such Convention After the adjournment of the meeting, which lim 1 1 I II 1 aa vciy large ana nigniy respectable, a small squad of Democrats organized and ap pointed a list ot delegatea The whole dis union farce, so far as Nashville is concerned, is a miserable lailure.

Boat and cargo almost an entire loss. Most i sr. . : . of the books and papers were saved ; the iron chest, containing a few hundred dollars, was lost.

Her loading consisted chiefly of ISO bales ofcottoi. 1.300 sacks corn. 25 hhds. tobacco, and 40 casks bacon, supposed to be insured. The boat was insured for $7.500 in Louisville. It is not known how the fire originated. The enterprising owners, Capts. Jenkins and Bellsnyder, and other suflerers. have the eiveliest sympathies of our entire community. ECr" The rains in Alabama last week were very heavy in the interior. All the rivers were rising rapidly, and it was apprehended an extensive overflow of the low lands would be the consequence.

TELEGRAPH DISPATCHES

CONGRESSIONAL. Washington, May 8. HOUSE. The census bill was under consideration the House being in Committee of the whole! Mr. Vinton's amendment providing lor tak ing subsequent census in accordance with the provision ot this bill, unless it should be al tered or repealed before the first January preceding the next census, was adopted. His next amendment providtug that the House of Representatives shall hereafter con sist of 200 members was also adopted 72 to b3. The committee then arose and the greater partot the amendments were concurred in by the House and others laid over to be taken up and voted upon the following day. SENATE. Mr. Jeff Davis presented a series of reso lutions, adopted by the Legislature of Miss issippi. defending the proceedings in that body in relation to holding a Southern convention. He read at great length from the address of the State convention to show that all efforts to charge that it originated in any desire for aisunion were maliciously lalse or ignorantly convinced. He contrasted the MississiDui proceedings with the proceedings of various .iv. nun uvuvcuiiuus ill me xilöi UUU vvcSt. which were allowed to pass without rebuke anu wnicn nad in lact led to the present dis content and alarm in the South. The resolutions were laid on the table and ordered to be printed. Mr. Clay, chairman of the select commit tee of thirteen, read the report of that com mittee, ot which the following is an extract The committee are unanimously of opin ion that new States may be formed out of lexas under the terms of compact entered in to by the United States in the resolutions of annexation, and that when thev are formed they have a clear and undoubted riht to be adm.tted in the Union as equal States. The committee do not think that any plan for the lormauon 01 new estates out ot any territory belonging to lexas should originate with Congress, but should be left to the people of Texas. And also, that such new States should be admitted without objection on account ot the exclusion or permission of slavery. In considering the question of the admis sion ot oalilornia, a majority of ihe committee are of opinion that every irregularity in me proceedings, antecedent to her annlication for admission into the Union, should, in consideration 01 tne many peculiar circum stances of her position, be overlooked, and re commended the passage of the bill introduced by Mr. Douglas for her admission into the Union as a State. (Owing to an interruption in Washington our report was not finished when the office closed.) HOUSE. Ihe census bill was taken up and the amendments of the Committee of the Whole were voted upon. Mr. Vinton's amendment, continuing the law in force for taking subsequent census, was concurred in. Mr. V inson s second amendment was then read, when Mr. Thompson, of Pa., moved to limit the number of members under the next apportionment to 233. The question was taken on Mr. Thompson's amenumeni ana agreed to yeasyj, nays 78 1 he question was taken on Mr. Vinton's motion as amended by Mr. Thompson and agreed to yeas no, nays b2. The bill was then engrossed and passed yeas iuy, nays ox. Mr. Thompson, of Pa., moved a reconsider ation of the vote, which motion was laid on tne table. The House then went into Committee of the Whole on the California message. Mr. Winthrop having the floor, addressed tne House. He said Congress had a right to apply the proviso and Southern men had no right to complain. Reproaches ought to be lor tnose southerners and tneir allies of tne North who insisted on bringing the territory in nie uinuu vviien iney ioreKnew it would produce domestic strife.
