DAILY JOURNAL.

i the A. H. SANDERS, EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR. H CITY OF EVAHSYILLE: Tt'ESDAY MOUSING, JILY 2. Dissecting an Edllor. ' Probably the Washington Union is unsurpassed by any other paper in the country, for its parly malignity and violence, falsehoods, and personal vituperation. Yet it occupies the position of the leading Democratic paper in the country, and is looked up to by all the lesser lights of the party with most particular admiration, while all the small fry Democratic editors seek to imitate it even in its deepest depravity. But the great light has lately been almost put out. The talented Editors of the Washington Republic are writing a series ol articles against old Ritchie, such as in his whole course he probably never before bowed his head wider. His gross political inconsistencies, las false charges against the Administration, his whole disgraceful course as an Editor, are exhibited in their true colors, and by facts instead of assertion or defamation. . The Editor of the Republic having Ritchie under his particular charge, winds up an editorial as follows : We have entered upon the exposure of the baseness of the editorial conduct of the Union newspaper, with something of the feelings of a surgeon who enters upon the dissection of a loathsome subject. Cut revolting as is the task, we shall not shrink from its thorough execution. And we will either teach the editor to pay greater regard for truth and decency in the conduct of Iiis journal, or we will so expose it in all its disgusting deformity, that he shall cry ou"-, "Oh, carry me back to old Virginity," and his own party, North and South, shall, with one accord, joyfully respond, "God bless him, lethim go!" The Tea Partr Do not forget that the Ladies' Tea Party and Fair commences to-morrow evening, and will be continued during the day and evening following. It is to be held, as will be seen by notice, at Mr. Shanldin's building, corner Water and Locust streets. Every preparation is being made to make this one of the most pleasant parties to visitors that has yet been held in the city. But we need only to say to young men, that the ladies anticipate their presence, and indeed have issued their royal edict commanding their presence. So, if there be any gallantry or obedience about them, they will be on hand, with their pookets full or dimes. And as for the elder folks, they will of course encourage the " better halves, " and those who will doubtless soma day be better halves, in an enterprise of so laudable a nature. Let them then have a full house and good customers. The supper will be elegant, and the articles for sale beautiful as well as useful. So no more need be said. ICDy after to-morrow is the great 'anniversary of our national independence. The notes of preparation for its commemoration are heard over the country, but there is no echo in our city, or at least it is so small as not to be discernable to every ear. The cood old times appear passing, when this national day shall be welcomed with bon-fires and AJuminations and rejoicings with processions, orations, and military displays. Yet we hope that the hearts of American citizens feci the same warm impulses of love and devotion to the Union, ni when they welcomed this day with such outward testimonials of thanks and The Latest Discovery. The following remarkable paragraph appeared as an editorial in last Saturday's Republican. It will certainly astonish our business men to learn that trade is livelier now than it has been any time this Spring ; and we acknowledge come surprise, located as we are at the wharf, at the discovery made by the Republican men of the large receipts and shipments a-t this particular time. This sounds like the celebrated " Market Reports " of that paper : CdfThe trade of Evansville is, perhaps, livelier now than it has been at any previous time this spring. Farmers and merchants arc busy buying and selling, and the wharf gives unmistakeable signs of large receipts and shipments, from and toother ports. Blackwood's Magazine. We are indebted to Post &. Co., publishers at Cincii cinnali, for a copy of Blackwood's Magazine, last number issued.

Prunty, has left the Wabash trade on account of low water, and is now advertised to run in the Louisville, Evans ville and Cairo trade. She possesses as good j accommodations a3 any boat on the river, of her size, and ps she is alone in this trade, we hope she may be well patronized. Capt. Prunty is well known by our business men. and is deserving of good support. jX3"It is announced as a wclcorrfe piece of news that the Mayor of Cincinnati has decided that taking an umbrella is stealing-. 1J.C Paper. Somebody, then, has most emphatically stolen our umbrella, hence he is a thiet, and the pjcanest kind of one. Bring it back.

n in . i 4i. Tmrr. r 11 mm thfi lOlIOWincr TiiirnfTranh taken lrOm I f Republican, one of the Democratic oro J c r I gans here, it will be perceived thatMaj. Rob inson receives but little sympathy and much Ies3 support in certain quarters, where as a staunch Democrat he might very reasonably have expected good will. It appears that even Democracy can blush at some things, and it was upon this supposition that some time ago we made up our mind that Democracy would become ashamed of the Major. It is now laboring zealously to get rid of him. but we doubt the result. The Republican denied a wh'le back there was any disaffection in the party. We think that if the evidences of this disaffection are not sufficiently palpable now, they will be so abo jt the time one wing is seen following the Major in opposition to the regular nominees of the party. Dut here is the Major's reception as a candidate : ! A L. Robinson. The gentleman whose name heads this article, we understand has, after many importunities, consented to become a candidate for the Convention in this Senatorial district, in opposition to Judge Lockhart, the regular nominee of the Democratic party. Robinson will be supported by the Abolilionists.Disorgani'ersand Native Amer icans. We hope he will have a good time of it! P. S: Since the above was put in type, the Major sent in his announcement (or pub lication. 1 lie people will no doubt, have glimpse at Iiis luminous phi., before long. Look out Democrats, the wolf is on your trail. Hllits of (lie Pre, Judge Campbell, of the Supreme Crjurt of New York, decided lately that a newspaper, whiclf shall publish the proceedings that oc cur on any trial in a Police Court, is respon sible not merely for the truth of the alleged circumstances, but for the truth of the com plaint itself. The Courier and Enquirer, the p iper sued, in commenting on this decision. says: It follows, of course, that every paper which publishes police reports becomes liable, not only for the truth of its statements, but for the truth of every thing stated in Court, for the truth of affidavits making complaint, for the truth of evidences given by witnesses, for the tt uth of what lawyers may say. (or the truth, in short, of whatever may be said by any of the parties concefiied, which it sees lit to place before the public. Every person arrested for murder, theft, or any oilier crime, may bring an action for libel against every paper which shall mention the ll.ct, and ihe responsibility of proving his guilt is then Ihrovin upon the paper which slated the fact of his tirrest. The decision of the Court was basect. we believe, altogether on British precedents, no American precedent having been quoted, to show that such was American law. We may say of Judge CampbcIlV decision, so far as the American press is concerned, as Lord Brougham said of a distinguished individual's opinion, as it. goes out without authority, itwill return without respect. 3Ir. Clay's Compromise. Baltimore, Saturday, June 22. A large me' ting was held in Monument squire, of persons in favor of Mr. Clay's Compromise. The square was decorated with Hags, and bands of music were playing. Cireat enthusiasm prevailed. Thomas Swan was Presi dent of the meeting, and there were forty-live Vice Presidents. The resolutions were udnpteu with enthusiasm. 1 he immediate passage of the Compromise is demanded by every consideration of patriotism. The meeting express their gratitude to Mr. Clay, and say the bill is calculated to allay strife and preserve the peace of the country. Eloquent addresses were made by Judge Lcgrand, Charles 11. Pitts, and others. ICf The Democratic masses ore right, and tlu-y have the power to make the prliticians do right. Let tl.em exercise it. State Sentinel. Then it is time the Democratic masses were exercising this power for the Democratic politicians are generally as far icronr as men can well be. They may or may not be capable of doing right, the matter never having been submitted to actual experiment. Reti using Patriots. Lieut. Knott, of Frankfort, Ky., and eiglitcr ten othersoldiers of the Cuba Regiment passed Evansville, night before last on the steamer Mustang. They walked through Fl rida barefooted. This is rather a come doiru from the glittering heights of their anticipations before they look Cuba. ilCiThe American Circus, it will be recollected, is to exhibit hereon the Fourth. We believe this Circus gave full satisfaction when here last. Additions have been made to the Company, which of course proportionately improve it. An Unpleasant Predicambst. The editor of the Lynn News says he saw a man the other day in a very uncomfortable situation. He was highly iucersed at an article in the News, but not being a subscriber to it, he was debarred the revenge of saying "stop my paper. " IIThc surface ol'the sea is estimated at 150.000.000 square miles, taking the whole surface of the globe at 190,000,000 square miles.

JCr'Last Saturday, there were 5 feet wa ter in the Canal at Louhville. and river at a taud. jTCfTlie Editor of the Newport Daily News says he was much refreshed- by a late trip in the country. Wu have no doubt his readers could say the same thing. tfThe Leiter List will be found in today's paper. The immense extent of Rivers, Lakes and Bayou--, in what is called the West, with the immeiitie amount of Agricultural Produce, grown upon its fertile lands, and shipped abroad, has caused a growth in its Commerce and Navigation, entirely unprecedented in any other country. This growth of Commerce has also occasioned Ship builing to an extent which was not at all anticipated, and which it may be "confidently expected will increase at a yet more rapid rate. Places, recently covered with forest trees, have become shipping porti, and have commenced Ship building, till the lakes and the -rivers exhibit white sails or wreaths of steam. rising bcautifu'ly above their waters. TIi-e.iTimu.il Report of the Secretary of the Treasury on Commerce and Navigation, gives some startling tacts on the subject, and exhibits in a most striking manner, the growth of Western Commerce. We. have noticud some of these facts in former articles.

Total The above statements are for the Districts, not the towns named. It should be recollected in this statement, that in most of these places ship building is a recent thing.

Florida and Alabama, having twelve hundred indes cd' Atlantic Sea Coast ! That the business of mivig iti in and Ship building will increase in the West rapidly, there can be no doul; because the produce of the West for export and transportation also increase immensely. The interior Commerce by Railroads will take oil" vast quantities of the freights, which might have gone by steamboats. Still there will be enough. Teeming millions cover the

Mr. 1 Holly supposed he must have b irned up; but it a pears that after the boat ceased to move, he passed through tike H irnes and overboard. His body was found badly burned. It was brought to this city and interred in Oakland! . Cemetery. ! This noblest of heroes who could thus stand by his post, and voluntarily throw away his own lile in the hope of saving others from death, was Richard Mann, long a citizen of our city and vicinity, and well known to many of our readers. He resided at present, we believe, in Greenfield, Huron county. No tomb deserves a nobler monument than his. We have had a conversation with Mr. I

John Chichester of this city, who was first j der will modify mns his judgement shall sugwaiter on the Griffith. Mr. Chichester went j (jest. 1 plead only for the essential thing of

The Captain replied :I think not; we shall sinke the shore in time ; however it is best lo be prepared. Mr. C, left bis wife j with Captain Roby's family, and went below to wake up the men ami passengers Ins wile at the same time, directing him to bring up a miniature and some keepsakes. When he had accomplished his purposes and attempted to return, he found a wall of lire preventing, and the cabin was so enveloped in flames that r.o alternative was M't but tojump overboard. This was half a mile from where the boat struck. He swam that distance, and arci ed at the burning boat just as the yawl boat burned loose from her stern, and was floating oil' on fire. He made for it succeeded in extinguishing the lire, picked up as many as it would carry in its damaged condition, and started for the shore. He met the first mate in a boat from the shore, who informed him that his wife was safe. She had been thrown overboardby Captain Roby, with his own family took a broom in her hand, with which she kept afloat until she swam about 20 feet to the wheel which had now ceased to move; by the aid ol'the second mate, Mr M'Coit, who was unable tu swim, and who was cling iug to the wheel, she tot upon a bucket and remained till the 1st nia'.e and engineer returned with a boat from the shore and took her oll. Thesecond mate ana a waiter boy were saved in the same manner. Mrs. C, with remarkable presence of mind, while on the wheei, divested herself of her clothing, and held last to the broom, determined that in -case ii became too hot to remain, she would make an effort to reach the shore.

The habits of children prove that occupa tion is ot necessity with most ot them; they love to be busy about something, however trifling, still more tobe usefully employed ; with some it is a sirongly developed physical necessity, and, if not turned to good account, will be productive of positive evil, thu verifying the old adage, that idleness is the mother of mischief. Children should be encouraged, or if indolently disinclined to it, lould be disciplined lino perlorniini lor themselves every little office relative to their dress which they are capable of performing ; tney shouid also keep their own clothes audi other possessions in neat order, and fetch for themselves whatever they want; in short, they should learn to be as independent of the services of others as possible ; there is no rank however exalted, in which such a system would not prove beneficial, and it is especially important to those whose time is their properly. Bsu'tal M truer. By Tuesday's Louisville papers, we learn a man named Win. Keats murdered his wife in a shocking manner, by cleaving open her head with an axe, and inflicting a terrible gasTi in her throat. He then lied. leaving two children. The Courier says : "His wife was of mixed blond, being part Indian. She had a brother who visited the house, with whom Keifts had quarrelled frequently, and quite recently he had stabbed htm tw or three times with a knife. Various rumors are in circulation in regard to the causes that led to the mnrder;oneof which Ts of a very revolting nature. Iveats formerly resided in Hardin county, and it is said the' quarreled because she would not return there with him. Strength, of the Sword Fish. Another illustration of the well known power und agility of the sword fish, the formidable enemy ol the whale, was discovered by the workmen engaged in repairing the brig Lconidas, whaler, at this port, a day or two since. In searching lor the cause of a leak which hud occurred during her last voyage.it was found that the side of the vessel bad been penetrated quite through, including the copper sheathing end two thickneses of solid, oak plank, not less than five inches, by the sword ol one of these fish.
