CITY OF EVANSVILLE: FRIDAY mOBNIXG, JUIIT 12.
Strange Presentment.
An old and poor artizan lives in this city,
who has had the misfortune to lose several
children. A few days back, one of his remaining children was taken sick. The old
man would not employ a physician, but attended the child himself. He said Providence
was against him, and that it was impossible for him to raise a child that all had died but these, and it was decreed they must die and die the sick girl did. When she departed, there was one more left, which also was lightly unwell, yet not sufficiently so to cause alarm, or fear3 of even serious sickness. Yet the old man said it was ordained, and die it would, and that the two must be la.d ide by side, and be buried at the same time. He kept the body of the departed one or two days, nursed the other faithfully, and then laid the innocent ones with his broken spirit, in one grave.
Warrick Democrat. This i3 the name
of a new paper, the first number of which
we have just received,published at Newburg,
Warrick Co., Ind., by Mr. Calvin Fkary. It is of good size, neat.in appearance, and
gives good token of being a useful paper.
Mr. Frarv is a rrood nrinter and industrious
man, as we know from a connection with him during last winter as printer of the Journal. The citizens of Newburg have long been wanting a paper, and now they have
got one. They should recollect, however,
the idea generally in vogue, that nothing more is required from the citizens of a place
than to put up a press without patronizing it
thereafter, is very nearly exploded, and hence, i! they wish to keep this new paper going,
and enlarge its sphere of usefulness, they must net permit the printer to trust to Providence alone, or to the '-'devil," because the former may have nothing to do wiih him, and the latter will scarcely trust a printer. So give the paper a liberal support. As its
name indicates, this paper is Democratic, yet we trust Mr. Frary will continue it what he hAs started, a respectable sheet and thus differ very materially from his cotemporaries generally-

Webster's Petition for Pardon. Boston, July 3, P. M. The following is a copy of the petition of
Professor Webster, convicted of the murder of Dr. Parkman, to the Governor and council, which he withdrew previous to his confession : To His Excellency. Geo. I FL Eris-ps, and to
the Honorable Council of the Slate of'
Massachusetts : Having been convicted before the supreme
iudicial court, of the murder of Dr. Parkman,
1 would most respectlully ana numuiy peution vour Excellency and the Honorable
Council to be permitteed to declare, in the most solemn manner, that I am entirely innocent of this awlul crime ; that I never entertained any other than the kindest feelings toward him, ami that I never had any inducement to iniure him whom I had so long
numbered among my best friends. To Him who seeth in secret, and before whom I may ere long be called to nppeiir. would I appeal for the truth of which 1 new declare, and also for the truth of the solemn
declaration, that I had no agency in placing the remains of a human body in or under my room in the medical college in Boston, nor do I know by whom ihcy were so placed that I am the victim of circumstances, or of a foul
conspiracy, or of the attempt of some individual to entire suspicion to fall upon me, influenced perhaps by the prospect ol obtaining a large reward. When first charged with the dreadful crime. I did not publish to the world a declar
ation of my innocence, or Miy explanations of
the circumstances tending to bring suspicion on me, solely in consequence of entire ignorance ot the cause. 1 ought to adopt an implicit reliance in the calmer judgment of
others. 1 lv.nl, however, prepared lor pub
lication a document to that effect; but as I thi' re was a strong disposition from ihe first
io misinterpret my every look, action, and ex-
res.-ion, it was deemed more advisable lor
;o preserve and maintain silence.
The document was. tnereiore, witn no strudle o,: niy part, withheld. Immediate,'" upon my arrest, every means
was resorted to, J he moat trifling appearances in my laboratory, aü'd insignificant circumstances, to add to the sp10113 ;irul t0 l)cr"
vert them to my disadvantage. I now pray your Honors tht ti.e evidence may be received by you, and tlu't t. 'c testimony of my wife maybe heard and receded, as also my own statement and explanations, repeating in the most solemn and positive manner, and under the fullest sense ol my
responsibilities as a man and a Christian, that I am wholly i.inocent of this charge, to the truth of which the Teacher of all hearts as a irilmss. I would humbly and respectfully pray that the privilege 1 have asked may be granted. I do this under the full belief that the testi
mony and explanations 1 may ahd would now oiler are such as will disprove many tilings,
uid impair very greatly the evidence ol at
least tivo witnesses, and pl-ice in their true
ht circumstances now ob-cure. In the state of mind in which I w is. silence
was constantly urged upon me, and I c implied more strictly, perhaps than I ought to have
lone. Every method of poisotr g the public
mind, of exei ing prejudice against me, was resorted to ; falsehoods, imputations, and fabrications were daily diffused, ami I sjoii per
ceived that the contradiction of one would
lead to others, and that the refutations ol
tliem all would lie an endless laslc. 1 tnere
iore submitted in silence and resignation, be
lieving that the time must shortly arrive
when He who bringet!) light out of darkness wouldcau.se the truth to appear, and my innocence be made manifest to all.
Had I previously been aware ol the use
tnat was to be made ot tome circumstances
on my trial, to give an uniust and erroneous
impression, it unexplained, should havt
been provided with evidence to explain most
satisfactorily. Some ol the statements, references, and circumstances however could
not be fully explained or disapproved nu
fortunately 1 could not avail myself ol the
prool to do it.
In this review of my case, your honors will, I trust, find sufficient reasons for rever
sing the decision of the court, and for the interposition of mercy. The knowledge of my
leeungs ana habits, and ol my various en
gagements and occupations both before am after the disappearance of Dr. Parkman
have, from the first, been sufficient assurances
to my afflicted family of my innocence.
And now that their trust in Iim who has
sustained both them and me in our days am
nights ofsorrow and sadness has been shaken
by the unlooked-liir result of my trial, they
would pray to be permitted to unite with me

believing that your Lxcellency and the hou

granting to me a pardon, and of restoring to them their hu.-band and father, for which 1

Terrible Fire at Brooklyn!
New York, July 8, 7 A. M. The Turpentine Warehouse of Thorn,near Fulton Ferry, Brooklyn, was on fire at 4 A.
M., in the 4th story, which originated among some loose cotton stored there, in the lower
story was a large quantity ofsaltpetre, which exploded with terrible effect. A large lot of groceries were also stored there, amounting to sveral thousands of dollars. The fire spread to a number of other buildings, which were mostly consumed with their contents. The whole loss is not yet ascertained, but it is said, will exceed half a million of dollars. The smoke from the coufl igration was very
intense.

solemn treaties. When the authorities ot
sovereign State so far forget what is due
to public honor and integrity as they ap
pear to have done in the present case, they should beinstruc ed, under the penalties of thatjustice which they have wilfully offended. There is reason to believe that some of the "distinguished7' participators in this expedition will be indicted in the city of New York. The President is much more anxious to punish the prompters and managers of the movement than the deluded victims of their selfish chemes. Louisville Journal.

Mr. Bradbury's resolution relative to removals, he moved to make it the special order of to-morrow at 11 o'clock agreed to. The omnibus bill was then taken up at one o'clock, and Mr. Butler having the floor, he believed the issue now pending had produced the present crisis, and that if it was past adjustment. It had become unmanageable from the lapse of time and failure to take advantage of passing opportunities for its settlement. He maintained also, that only two States has ever come into the Union with a constitution formed without the previous consent of Congress.

This information conn s in a shape so authentic, and from such a variety of sources, and in so many forms, all tending to the same fearful result, that I h ive felt it my duty to move that the Senate follow the example already set by the other branch of the national legislature. At 11 1-2 A. M. I called at the President's mansion to make inquiries relative to his then present condition, and was informed that he had a very bad night, and was very ill this morning, but at that moment was more easy and more favorable hopes were indulged. I bud hardly resumed my seat in the Senate, when I was informed that the fever had set in with great violence, causing an alarming aggravation of his symptoms. It is supposed to be hardly possible that he can live through the day. With the consent of the Senator from S.
