CITY OF EVAN3VILLE: tATrRPAY MOKSISG, JCTE 2g. Tlie Republican. Ithaa been a strong desire with via to pre

serve peaceful connections with our cotempo raries of the Republican, and wc Btill have the Mime wwh. We do -not conceive that thi or any other community can be pleased, much lesi enlightened, by the quarreiings of Editors. We should like to see the yonng men ot the Republican prpeper, but they are taking the wrong course to do so in this community. If they think their misrepresentations about it, are so peculiarly deep as to be unfathomable by ev.-ry intelligent reader, or that they, the publishers, possess eo strongly ihe confidence of the community, and such undoubted characters for veracity, that to say a thing is to insare its being swallowed by their fellow-citizens one or the other of us U

mach mistaken. For instance, do they think business men of this city who are in the habit of reading the markets, in our paper, and noticing them in the Republican, will permit their judgment to be humbugged by the boasts of its publishers of superiority? Or that because they say a man is guilty of tell"inga falsehood, their own character for veracity is so unquestionable, that the commu

nity will permit them to set themselves up a3 j

judges of the veracity of their fellow-citizens, and thus the man must be believed guilty? Or that to accuse a cotempcrary of igaorance on any subject in dispute, fs to insinuate one's

own knowledge in a manner not to be doubted by the reader, and that asserting ignorance in an opponent, is worth a copper without proof? Or, lastly, to tell constant readers of the Journal, who have judgments and common sense of their own, thafc certain articles of crura convey'a meaning precisely opposite to what a proper construction of the English language, and the opinions of the pub-

Jas. E. Blythe, Esq. On Thursday last we published the follow

ing paragraph : .

td'Mr. Jas. E. Blythe, is announced as a candidate to represent VandeifiuTgh county in the Convention, at the next August election. He is too well knewn in this community to need recommendation from us. He is

known as a gentleman of ability, and one who would, if elected, represent Vanderburgh

county in the proper manner. ve may have more to say on this suhject. To which the honest men of the Republican, make the following allusion, as if there

were not sense enongh among the people of

Evansviilc to detect the gr033 and unmanly perversion of facta : CTTf The Journal of th is morning announced Jas. E. Blythe as the Whig candidate to represent Vanderburgh county in the Con

vention. It does not consider the gentleman's announcement worth commenting upon. Good ! Our opinion of Mr. Blythe is the same as that of every man in the community nt all acquainted with him and we repeat our remark above, that he is too well known here

to need recommendation irom ua, tie is a man respected by the citizens 'of xhis county acquainted with him, for his ability, legal knowledge, urbanity of manners, and true democracy of feeling. He is indeed just such a man as will do honor to himself and his 'con

stituency, in tlie Convention, and protect the interests of this region. This Convention is an important nff.ir. It is no Indiana Legislature, wherein men c-tn

attain popularity by buffoonery, as Mr. B'd opponent endeavored to d , and probably did. But every man will be judged by his worth, and his constituency will be judged sy him

and no man can expect to be of any benefit in

the Convention, who U not acquainted with the Constitution as it is, and ns it should be. The idea of sending a Delegate to this Convention like Mr. (Jreathcrase, is sepcrhttively ridiculous in a seiic-rble people. Personally, we like Bill very well and politically, we rather love him for his innocence. He will never harm any party to which lie isep posed. But when there u choice to be made between two such men as Blythe and

For the Journal. ! Evansville, June 21, 1S50. Mr. Editor: Peimit me. through the medium of your paper, to enquire of our citizens whether we are to ,celelratc the Ith of July, or not ? If we are, it is full time some

thing was said about it. The two .last were

permitted to pas? by almost disregarded, and as yet no arrangement is made, 1 believe, for celebrating this one. I think your plan of a pic nie at the Salt Well, an excellent one,

and with a bull at night, would be just the thing. The next question id, ho iv- shall wc get it up? Well, there are divert ways. Let a cominitlee of oine two or three young men be appointed to raise a collection, and the Ladies wiU furnish the sweetmeats as they

always do. That, I think, is ths best plan

and the most apt to prove successful. We pride ourselves on being ahead of most other Western cities, but in this matter we are far behind. The small villager aroirad us are making preparations, and celebrate the Fourth annually, while we remain dorrtaut. It is full time we were awake. We thould remember it is the anniversary of our National Independence. While disorganizes and disunionists are at werk, we could not manifest out love and fidelity to the Unio i in a fitter manner than by .demonstrating

cut joy on her birth day. Then let u-i tuke the matter in hand at once and not drop it until something is done. If any one can think of a better plan of procuring the need

Yet this is the Republican's course. That paper has always been so unfortunate, except for the brief time while in the hand3 of Mr. Drew, of hav ing nov Editor at least of having Editors, who like these gentlemen, cannot write for their own paper. The consequence is, the public, not knowing who is talking to them, Jhoüld be permitted to question the character of writers who are disposed to question the character of every person who differs from them. For a time when the Republican was the Advertiser, and friend Stinson's name was at "the head of the paper, the infamous Co'. Hutchen, was dealing out democracy and morali'y to the citizens ef our place, and blackguarding better men than himself. Now. we do not know who has usurped his place, but if possible, he may be as great a

blackguard inatelyas Hutchen, and he looks as if he only wanted an excuse to prove himself such. The publishers might do well to profit by the experience of their predecessors. Hutchen had to leave town, after cheating the man who had supported him, while the publisher had to leave his paper. This experience should be peculiarly touching, as the publishers of the Republican, like he of the old Advertiser, are renegade Whig?. American Circus. By advertisement it will be seen that S.

Burgess' great American Circus will visit Evansville, and give three exhibitions on the fourth of July. Our immediate country readers and others who wish to spend their fourth pleasantly, should witness the exhibitions of this troupe on that day.

interests, and to a proper home pride as to the man who is to represent them. Directly, we have no rcpy to make to the perversion ot our article by the Republican. When an opponent descends himself, and brings down with him to the disgraceful depth, a paper which lately was a respectable sheet, to this most paltry of all cowardly action or warfare, he places himself considerably below the notice of a decent man.

The question pending being upon Mr. Hale's amendment of yesterday, relative to the future formation of two new States from the Territory of California, Mr. Foote moved to amend the amendment by inserting a provision that said Slates shall be admitted with or without slavery, as their people may elect, which, after some dfbate was adopted.

32 to o. 1 he question recurred on tne amendment as amended, when it was withdrawn by unanimous consent, after an appeal by Mr. Foote. Mr. Davit, of Miss., moved to amend the

21st section by adding a provision repealing all laws existing in the territories, restricting,

abridging, or obstructing the rights ofpropI- 1 - I ..I. I . . C

by adding a proviso excepting from the repealing clause laws abolishing slavery. " Mr. Clay was ogainst both the proviso and the amendment. He had supposed there was an understanding in the Senate that the Lez LiOcV was not to be amended. A long debate eneued upon the propriety of the amendment, being in effect a re-hash of views expressed on a cimilar amendment offered bv Mr. Davis, some weeks aso. The

opponent's to the amendment contend that it would invade the ground of non-intervention, and its supporters denied the assertion and assumed it was necessary in order to secure to the slaveholder his constitutional rights.

to relieve the sufferers. The scene on the

lake shore was melancholy in the extreme ; 150 dead bodies were strewed along it, which boats had gathered up. Five or six were found clasped together in the firmest grasp. A long trench was dug, in which the poor emigrants were laid and buried. ' Bury my child here," Baid a lone heart ; '-Lay my wife there," huskily spoke a bereaved husband. Babes, children, men and women, from Ireland. England aiid German', were buried together under the same sod, near the spot where their lives were so suddenly taken. The Mayor of the city, a number of the council, and about one hundred citizens char

tered the steamer Diamond and le:t at quarter-past three, P. M, for the scene of the disaster yestcrda', with the necessary materials, &c, to make colfins and bury the dead. The Griffith was one of the Toledo and Buffalo packets, and was owned by Roby &, Studdefer, and was neatly new. We left the ground at 1 o'clock on the

afternoon of the disaster, and the number of

bodies ihen found was 154. The trench in which 04 bodies were buried was forty feet long and six feet wide; 41 bodies were brought to Cleveland, 9 to Buffalo, and 10 were buried in the country. The whole number saved was 40, and 154 bodies.have been recovered, leaving upwards of 131 j et to be found. Those who were saved Were mostly. foreigners out of an English colony ; ol 34 bo'ind

Boy Injühed. A lad named Henson was most horribly injured, in the upper part of the city yesterday, by being hooked by a cow. The cow pitched at him while in ihe street, and striking him near the shou'der, broke his arm above the elbow, and dislocated it at the shoulder joint. We did not learu whether or not his arm would have, to be amputated.

Struck by Lightning. Düring a thunder squall at Savannah, Ga., on. Wednesday last, a young woman named Julia Sullivan, residing in Margaret street, was- struck by lightning and instantly killed. A Coroner's inquest was held on the body verdict of the jury in accordance with the above tacts.

rr"7 Some desperate individual, probably

wishing to change his residence momentarily for a cooler clime, tumbled overboard yesterday from one of the wharf boats, and popped head foremost into a fish-box, producing a tremendous excitement among the scaly tribe, who flapped their tails indignantly at this amphibious innovation. Whether he thought himself Jonah, and was bent on swallowing a whale, or what he wa afier down there, we don't pretend to know but from the haste with which he got out, if any whale swallowed him, he Tas vomited up quicker than ever Jonah was in his palmiest days. The Empire. Among the many "splendid and fast running " steamers in the New Orleans and Lou'svillo trade, there are but few, if any, that excel the steamer Empire. While her speed nearly equals that of any other boat in the trade, her officers are equal

in point of politeness, carefulness and expe rience to any other men on the river. For the many attentions shown the Joui nal office by them, we tender our grateful acknowledgments. Destructive Fire. A most disastrous fire occurred in Alexandria, La., on the 6th inst. It originated in an out-house of the Washington Hotel, consuming the hotel, the flames crossed the street and in an hour's time the whole square fronting on the rivrl and containing 27 dwellings and stores, and numerous other buildings, was consumed. Two squares, containing thirty pr forty houses, are in ashes. The loss is not estimated.

Au arrival at this port from Porto Rico brines important intelligence. On the 10th

of May the city of St. Pierre, in the inland

Martinique, was set on fire, and it was dis

covered that the. blacks had risen against the white. The tiring of the city was supposed

to be the itvnial tor a general insurrection.

About 1TO bouses were destroyed. The city

was set on fire, three times before, but the

flames had not spread. 1 he negroes surrounded the city and committed various ex

cesses. All the citizens capable of bearing arms had been called out and the city was

cfnder martial law. Many of the insurgent-

were taken prisoners. It was expected they

would be shot. Boston, June 1?. In the Supreme judicial Court this morning, Chief Justice Shaw pronounced the decision of the court on the petition of Professor Webster for a writ of error.

Only Forty of the Passengers Saved! Cincinnati, June 19. By the cars I have some patticulans of the burning of the steamer Grillith. The following account is copied from the Cleveland Democrat. ' Death has visited us in a fearful form and with terrible effect. The steamer G. P. Griffith was consumed about daylight yesterday morning, and I fear rome two hundred

souls have perished by lire and water. When first the alarm was given the passengers were cool and collected, and it was thought, could reach land, for which she was steering, but the steamer struck upon a sand bar half a mile from 6hore, and then panic reigned 5 the passengers, according to those who were saved, became wild with despair and plunged madly into the. water, as iflile wci'o eate there; death also came to them amid the guggling sounds of the watery waste, and by scores left their home on earth, fur their home, we hope, in Heaven. The cause of the fire is unknown and unfortunately we can explain nothing. ' The passengers were all asleep, and all those who were saved know, that about three o'clock, or near day-brake, tlie alarm of fire was given, and shore was in sight, which it was thought could be reached, and nil were quiet, but when the boat struck the b ir, all hope ot safety was converted into despair, and the evident death by tire was shunned to meet death amid the

waste ol waters. 1 he passengers plunged

into the lake and but lew were saved.

An I xdkpl" n nE'T Editor. Mr. Landon,

He recently made some remarks in opposition to the Nashville Convention, when tome ol his political friends and "patrons" of his p iper undertook to dictate iho tone and opinions of his journal by addressing him on the subject of the deference which should be paid by the press to public opinion. His answer is an excellent one. He says in Conclusion : If the course of my paper is not approved, if the sentiments therein expressed are not such us my friends can sustain, they have a perfect right to express their disapprobation hy withdrawing their patronage.. If they think it is exerting a dangerous influence upon the public mind, or i( it is not worth to them the price of subscription, let them discontinue it, but Jet. them not insult ine by an attempt to dictate the course I should pursue. I acknowledge no obligations to please any one but myseltl If I cniiot, in pleasing myself, satisfy enough of the public to keep me from starvation. 1 will abandon my newspaper and engage in some pursuit where a man's opinions will not interfere with his bread.

If you nd vertue, you do eo to promote your own interest, not mine. Whenever advertising certses to be a source of .profit to you. it is discontinued, and when the paper fails tc interest you, you stop it. It is all a fair business transaction, and yoil have no more right to call in question the mode in which 1 think proper to transact my business, than I should have to object to yours.

Tlie 2d mate ordered the boat to be headed for the shore, which was done, and when the boat grounded, the flames had not burst out in the forward' part of the cabin, but immediately abaft the pilot house all was enveloped in fl, tines. The, command was then given to the passengers to

The Captain remained on the upper deck near his state rooms and forward of the wheel-house, until after all the passengers jumped overboard. He threw the barber's wife, his mother, wife and child, into the lake, and then plunged in himself. He remained for a time on the surface of the water, when with his wife in his arms, they both sank together. Not a female or child out of fifteen
