A. II. SANDERS, EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR. CITY OF EVAKSVILLE: TIirnSDAT 7IUK'I.G, OCT. 31. TheNeitPreildent. The Cincinnati Time3, a neutral paper, ventures some remarks relative to the next Presidency. . Almost asumin the position, probably fcr the purpose of tickling the vanity or 6lirrin up the wearied ambition of the Democracy, that the next President v. ill most probably be a Democratic President, it discourses very learnedly the merits of Gm3. Benton and Cas3. The editor givea Denton the decided advantage, and thinks indeed that he will in a!l probability be the next President. Doth men have been nominated at different places for the Presidency, by the Democracy, but we think neither of them standi a very fair chance. Cass is a defeated candidate, and the Democrats have almost a superstition against running defeated candidates. They made it a strong or at least gassy argument against Clay, that the peo ple had already given their opinion of him in votes so that they will scarcely feel like taking up a candidate upon whom the people passed their juJgm?nt so emphatically as they have done upon Gen. Cass. As for Benton, he has been repudiated in his o;vn State, and is now disowned by these editors who follow in the wake of Uhr hie, of the Washington Union, and they are many. If the Union be the organ of Democracy, as it pretends, the Democracy i3 opposed u tooth and toe-nail" to Col. Beuten. Who the Democracy trill get to carry their banner next Presidential canvass, is a grand mystery, which we think cm in r.o manner be cleared up by the opinion of any one ra in. The Times had better continue its spccul.iti.jus till it at least gets within the range of probabilities. Home Journal. This excellent literary paper, by f ir the best in the country, commences a new series next January, and we can safely promise that subscribers 'to the forthcoming volume, will better get the worth ol their money, than by taking any other Eastern paper. Its talented editors, Gen. Morris and N. P. Willis, Eiq., devote their whole attention, skill and experience, to the paper, nnd this is high enough eukgy upon it. No gentleman coul J make a norc tasteful present to a lady, than by subscribing for the Home Journal ta her direction. He would at least be brought very pleasantly to memory once a week. The price of subscription is only $2 per annum. Address Morris & Willi 3, N. York. Western Pathfinder. We have received several nvmhers of a very beatifully printed and large sheet, issued at Cincinnati, called Williams' Western Pathfinder. It contains the names in full of the streets and nllies, public buildings, churches, societies, omnibus nrd mail routes, &c, ccc., cd' Cincinnati, with a in ip of the Ohio ncd Missi?tippi rivers, tahhs ofdistancee, &c. t is indeed a Western Pathfinder. Besides it contains a large amount ol stand.nd reading matter. The price per annum is 02 cheap enough. . Our readers will remember that, some time ago, the owners of the steamboat Major Barbour obtained a verdict against the own ersof the steamboat Paul Jones, in the Unit d States court at Colundius, Ohio, for upward of $6.700 damages, occasioned by a collision. Wc learn that the motion lor a new trial. which was made by the defendants, has ju.-t been overruled, and that judgment has been en'ered on the verdict The delendants have declared their intention of taking the case to the Supreme Court of tho United States. FcctTtvE Slates in Canada. It is eft: , mated that about 2,CCtf fugitive slavts arc 'gathered ia the viihges of Maiden, Sandwich ni d Windsor. The commanders of the British garrisons at Sandwich and Maiden have given up the barracks to lodge them in. It is said rfhe barns and vacant houses, up and down the Detroit river, are full. The lower ports on Lake Qntirio are also reported so full ol them, that the back settlements in Canada have more arrivals than they can feed, and that tie cars and steamers every arrival bring more. jl" Yesterday we received a copy of the Sacramento City Times, of Sept. 13th., only about a month and a halt old. Thh is quick time. Everything was quiet at Sacramento City. There had been some rain. We pub. i.h to-day detail of foreign news received by the Crescent City, having already published dispatches relating thereto. JCr-It will be seen by notice, that the regular course ol lec'.ures of the EvansviUc Medical College, will commence next Tuesday. The Introductory Lecture will lo delivered by Dr. Laycock at the College Hall on Monday i.ight, at 7 o'clock. UF It will be recollected that books are now open for subscriptions to the County Library, and that the Library will be opened next Saturday to subscribers, or theja who wish to become such. See the notice in another column. C"It will be perceived by d;?patchc3 in another column, that on Monday, there were thirteen feet water in the channel at Pittsburgh, and rising. The river continues rising here.

FE .TI ALE IMAIttlZS. Mart, the sweetest of Icraale names, may not inappropriately stand at the head of our list. It is from, the Hebrew, and signifies exalted. Its French form is Marie. It is, we hardly need pay, a famouj name in both sacred and profane history. In all ages, from the timeot Mary, the mother of Jesus, to that of Mary, the mother of Washington, the name

has, literally, been exalted. It has been linked with titles and power with crowns and coronets, and adorned by goodness and beauty. Mary has ever been a favorite name with the pcets. Byron, as he assures us, ft It an absolute passion for it. It is woven with some of his sweetest verses. The peasant poet, Burns, seems to have been as murh attached to it hi the author of ChÜde Harold. It is still the theme of bard- and hurdlings unnumbered. We might fill a column or two here with songs, sonnets and ballads, in the meloJy of whose versa the boCi musical syllables are those which form the charming name of Mary. But where 60 much presents itself, we can quote nothing. We need quote nothing, for 'The very music cf the name has. gone Into our being.' Let the motto, or the toast itjvon will, be the single line of Pry an Waller Proctor. 1 Here's health to thee, Mart. Sarah is nlmost as common a name as Mary, tut it lacks the prestige which its fcisi.iiu i uu it mind mi. kit ton i, fc nun I ia .io : torical und poetical aviations throw around i the latter. It is also from the Hebrew, and signifies a princess. In poetry it takes the form of Saiiy, or Sallie, and ii found in many a love song and ballad. Sally is sometime contracted to Sol, which is neither poetical nor euphonious. 'Lauskinjr, pratlin, sporting Salue, Now tell me what f hall be The tint of tky, sunlit or starry, To which Til liken tucc ! ' . Tlni sollest shade of heaven's blaß Tho.se lustrous cj es seem melting through. Scsax, another name of "Hebrew origin, signifies nlily. In poetry it is usually seen in its c-oa'ructcd form of Sue. It is a pretty name, ar.d is immortalized in Gray's wellknown ballad. The signification of the name is very happily introduced in the doting line: Auicu, tte cned, and waved ner u.y Hand. Masel is probably derived lVotn ma lella, signiljing r,vj fair, though some suppose that it is contracted Ironi umauilis, lovely or amiable. It is a good name in cither case, and worthy of being perpetuated. Mary Ilowilt hns a ballad commencing, 'Arise, maiden Macel.' which is the only poem wc now recollect ia which the name occurs. UttfüLA, a name associated in our mind with l:omcline.-3 office and goodness of heart concealed under the veil of a nun, is from the Latin, and signifies nothing more amiable limn a female Lear! W ho. knowing this, will give the name to a child ? Blanche, one of the Ewcetest names ever borne by woman, is from the French, nnd signifies vhile.or fair. Mary Ilowilt makes the Urange-hower its horal type. Lucy, in its French from Lucie, signifies lucid, and comes from the Lathi. 'Lucy ii a golden girl,' eaya Bryan Proctor, and many will echo the line. Lucy h a lavoritc name with almost every one. Wordsworth ha3 made it one of the ' Names vredded unto sons. And lovely indeed is the maiden bearing that sweet name, whom nature proposes to mould, at will, to her own taste : Sha will be sportive a the fawn That wild wiih glee across ths lawn, Or up the rcoantain spriij:s ; And lurs shall be the breathing balm, .And hers the silence and the calm Of mate iastntats thing. TI12 stars of miJnight shall be dear To her ; and she fhall learn her ear Ia many a secret place, Where rivulets dance th:ir way vrard round, And beamy born of murmuring fcoand Saall pasä into her lace. And vital feelings of delight Shall rear her tffm to stately height, Her virgin tosora swell : Sach thoughls to Lucy I will give While the and I together live Here ia this harpy cell. Beatrice h another r.ara? derived from the Lafn. It siidGes one vho lltsses or r.ialics happy. Ko name can be more ap propri.ite for a lovely, affectionate, and amia ble woman. Beatrice has been honored above all others by the poets: Dante, Shaks peare. and Shelley have, in turn, thrown around it the charm cf their numbers, and linked it with thoughts both lovely and tn;gie. Caroline i3 the feminine form ofCharlcs, or rather of its Latin equivalent, Carolns. It comes Irom the lerimii, und has the Ftgnification of brave-sojihd or valiant. Tiie name has been borne by womtMi who have proved themselves worthy of the name. It is not in the manly breast alone that valor is found or needed. There are those who, having learned 'how sublime a thing it is To sutler and be stn-ag,' have displayed a courage whieh shames that of the warrior, on the battle-field. Caroline is sometimes abbreviated to Carrie, Callie and Ca!. I know a fair young girl, "With an eye like the sky's own blue, Or a $ wctt sprir.-ilower when its azure leaves Are bright with the; cariy dew Oh, a thia half eanh and halt' divine Is she thai fair young duoLiNG. A portion o'" the new3 which 'wc publish to-day was telegraphed expressly lor the Lv nnsvillc Journal. That pa ner will continue to receive telegraph dispatches daily. Mr. Sanders, in his ellorts t furnish his readers with a good paper, spares neither time nor money, lhc Journal is one ol the best con ducted papers published in the West, and the citizens of Evansville, if they are true to their own interest?, will mtronize it liberally. If oar good friend will send us his Daily, we will promise to pay the dilLrencc. Warrick Co. Dem. We thank the Democrat for its friendly remarks, and as an evidence that the thanks are not of the lips alone, wc start on the Daily in the hope it may prove of some avail in giving late ncrr3. Mr. Frary'a iongexpcri-J ence as conductor of newspapers, certainly entitles him ta the character of a judge ofj what constitutes a good paper, therefore we shall think with him. that if the citizens of Evansville are true to their own interests, they will patronizs the Jaurnal liberally.

TtioCoiivcutlon, By the following article, taken from last Friday's State Journal, it will be perceived that our Scnatotial delegate has be:n talking in opposition to the abolishment of the Grind

Jury System, and against the iueerpor lion of any Banks. We shall endeavor to get a report of his speech on the latter subject, and ascertain how far Democracy ha3 progressed in this region : The Convention. Yesterday morning, a petition was presented by Mr. Pepper.ot Ohio, which lie stated was signed by the two Associate Judges of thul county, every merpher of the last Grand Jury, and a number of 'her citizens, in favor of the abolition of the d id Jury. The Convention resolved ufter di.j.ssion, to have only morning sessions, alter hext Monday, till otherwise ordered, the argument urged by its supporters being to give time-10 the Committees to digest and prepare reports for action. The Grand Jury discussion was then resumed. Judge Lockhart and Dr. Foster, spoke against, and Col. Taylor, of L'ipoi te, in favor of its abolition. In the afternoon, Mr. Hovey spoke in defence of the Grand Jury. Mr. Ilolmnt) als: spoke, favoring the Grand Jury, but advocating its being K'lt an open question by tf;e Convention, Messrs.

A. llaloton lo the remaiiltee cf relief dated Sacramento City, Sept. C, furnishes roaie information relative to tho overland immigration. Afier delailins; the rn"asurc3 which he had taken for the relief of thoe whom he had rnel at Carbon river, he says : i'or several days before leaving the station. I sought, from every evail.ible source, information about the numbers and condiu a of the immigration still behind, the result of which suthtied me that there were nbjut 10,Ui;0 on the way this side of Salt Lake 'And Boar river, who had not crossed the Clreat'Dcriert, at least one half of whom would be destitute of means and subsistence before reaching Carsou river. About one half or these immigrants were deluded by false reports, an ! lt d to take a wrong toad from Salt Lake, lending around to fi.e touth ot the Lake and uidsiair with iM road on Humboldt liver, about LUÜ miles above iho Sink. The distance by this road is greatly increased, aud a desert OU miles long has to be cro.-s1 1. Most ol lhc animals ou i:.-s rou'e perished in the desert, and not uufa'piemly men. women and children sunk under the hardships of the road, and perished lor want of water and food. Those who arc fortunate ennujh to gL-t over the desert will s;ill have to travel near 300 mil before they reach Carson river, and but few of them v. ill reach this point with any means ti purchase substance. I was credibly iulbrmed that several thousand persons among them many l.imilns, took ti:i road; but up to the time of my leaving Johnston's station, only a li-w of these persons (no families) had passed on their way ia. thus leaving room fur tho fear tint much sidioring is behind among this body of the immigration. At the time of my departure from Johnron's station, provisions were exceedingly scarce tiinoag both immigrants und trader?-, bat I met on the road, large suppli.-s in the hands of en terprising traders. 1 think, therelore, the amount ut provisions e.i route to the desert in the hands ot traders, und the amount lately ent forward by th-' active beifvoIoiH e ol 'the citizens of California, may be uf;Icieut supply the immigrants. The Carson river road teems to b; the only road traveleil by immigranis in great num bers, the Irucliee roate having been aban doned on account of high water and other causes. Tun Gold Region.

Tom Sheridan used to tell a story for and against himself, winch we shall take leave to relate. lie was staying at Lord Craven's, at Brenham, (or rather Hempstead,) and one hiy proceeded on a hunting excursion, l.ke i Hawthorne, with only bi3 dog and his gun," iui0l - "Iul unattended by companion or kcepthe sport was bad the birds lew aud jfihy - and he walked and walked in search of game, until unconsciously he entered the domain of tome neihbouriiir squire. A very t-horttime tiller he perceived advancir.g towards him, at the top of his speed, a jolly, comfortable-looking gentleman, followed by a servant, firmed, as it appeared for conflict. Tom took up a portion, and awaiicd the approach of tlie enemy.

Tom hated to go back with an empty bag; and having tailed in his attempt at higher guar, it struck hi in as a good jotte to ridicule liiu exploits of the day lnia-eil', in order lo prevent any one else from doing it for him; and, he thought to carry home a certain number of the itomestie inhabitants of the pond and its ic;nity. would serve the purpose admirably.
