CITY OF EVANSVILLE: TUESDAY MOItMSK, DEC. 3. Planking Main Street, A.c. The laying of the first planka on Main Street have attracted a good deal of attention. Citizens can now sec for themselves how plank roads are made. This was one reason why wc wished to see some street of our city planKcd. There is much talk .about plank roads, and they arc being built or pro posed to be built, in almost every pari of the State. Citizens in this vicinity have been called upon to give their support to certain plank roads. The difficulty generally is, when appeals are thus nu-Ju to people iu the country to subscribe to such enterprises, that they do not understand the great advantages and economy of plank roads. They do net even know how they are built, and especially in this last fact important, when if they understood the simplicity of the whole atfair. many would subscribe for stock in labor, us is done East, who now will never buy one share of stock. Thus they might benefit them selves and such enterprises. Now we shall toon be able to exhibit in Evarmil'e, a fair specimen of what plank roads trc their economy, how they are made, and their benefits as a public improvement. Those persons who have been in the habit of visiting Evansville during the winter season, with waggons and teams, and almost stalling on our most public street, will this winter find Main street smooth almost as their own floors, and utterly free from mud. Hains that render other streets almost impassable will but clean this. Frosts will come and go without injuring if, and constant travel, cutting up and deepening the mire of other thoioughlares, will but make more solid and elegant this road, if it be rightly made. We are sure after its benefits become known, and the road itself inspected that not one half the difficulty will he encountered in obtaining subscriptions for plank roads among those who have eccu this. After it is finished we hope those in the country who have any doubts of the great advantages of plank roads over macadamized roads, elc, will drop in and examine Maia treet, when the improvement is completed. , Wc believe that this improvement will be found so great a benefit to Main street, that it will not be long heloro other streets, or First street at least, will through itt property holders, follow the example. AVc hope ere a great while to see First-street planked. Hogs. The first drove of hogs of the season, num. bering about seventy, arrived here bat Saturday. They came from Posey county, and brought we suppose $350, as that is now the ruling market rate. Messrs. Orr and Laughlin were the purchasers. Mr. Granger has contracted for 1,000 head to be delivered this wek nt Evansville at the above price. This rate is 50 cents higher than it was anticipated the market would open at in this city. Ladies Fair. It will be sec rT by notice in another column, that the Ladies ol the Episcopal Church will hold a Fair oa Thursday and FriJay of next week, at what 1 1 ice is not yet known. It will be seen too, that Prof. Foster will exhibit sotin: brilliant scientific experiments to make the entertainment more interesting. The Drummond Light alone should draw a houscfull, yet we predict it can't shine" to any great advantage among such a brilliant assemblage of ladies as will be there. We shall hav e more to say about this Fair ere it takes place. C3"Our Cairo Correspondent in a letter of Saturday says, there has been a rise in the Mississippi at that point of three feet making nine iVet in channel to St. Ltuiis. He had 110 further particulars of the devastation bv the tornado at Cape Girardeau. IOThe Lady Franklin was here yesterday morning from St. Louis, bringing Si

- turday evening s papers. This proves her J speed and regularity.' She can be relied on r, as a good and swift boat. The Clerk, Mr. L II. S. Wool folk, will accept our thanks for n St. Louis papers.

Gen. Houston for Pwesidext. The N York Sun is asking who shall be our next President, and answers, "General Samuel Houston, of Texas once Governor of Tennessee, the father of Texan Independence, twice President of the Texan Republi now its beloved and honored Senator, the advocate of concession, and the supporter of the peace measures." JCr" E. Gillespie gave a big 6uppcr last night at ln-3 restaurat near the Exchange Hotel. Among other "delicacies of the sea son," on the well filled table, were possums. done up in style. Gimc. &c.. of all kinds af-

jj forded by the markets, can genejally be obtaincd at Gillespie's done up ia the most credn itable manner.

f A New Objection. A writer in a disun-

k-lon journal down South objects to the new

1 1 Fugitive Slave Law, because under the old

" law there was a faint hone of recovering o 1 slaves, whereas, under the new one the fu'gi1 tive negroes are scared into C-innd i whri they can never be recovered. JC" In another column will be found a letter from Cape Girardeau to the edi-ors of 1 the St. Louis Republican, and pulliahcd in nthat paper on Saturday last.

Meniubcat "VrerK .Improvement of Hi vers. The Tike No. 9 arrived here yesterday morning with the furniture, boilers, machinery, &c, of the late splendid Fashion. The Fashion passed here but a few days since, one of the most beautiful 6tenmers on the river. Now, a rusty mae3 of iron, broken machinery, and the worthless wreck left behind, are all that remain of her. The boat ha3 broken in two. - About one hundred yards from the wreck of the Fashion, lies the Uepublio,another excellent and valuable steamer. Both struck the same snag. Wc have been informed by the officers of t'tc Pike No. 9 that a sub-marine boat has been at work some time on the Republic, endeavpring to raise her and had well nigh succeeded when the chain tore up cue guard, and again admitted the water. Unless the river rise very fist, it is expected they will yet succeed in their endeavors. I5y this very snag, we have leen assured that one hundred thousand dollars worth of property has been lost, in addition to the destruction oftheec boats, through the wrecking of flat-boats. What a commentary this is on the neglect of government? in improving our rivers ! Accidents with such results as the above, arc of almost daily occurrence, and they will contin

ue to happen so long as that assistance is withheld lrom the West which has been so liberally bestowed upon other portions of the Union. ' The seaboard receives the benefits of appropriations every session of Congress, and commerce there realizes all the protection government can throw around it but in the West, wc suifer on without assistance, while every year has a history, a fearful history of its own, of the loss of we may say hundreds of lives, and the destruction of incalculable amounts of property. Is no remedy to be oflercd for these evils? Are wc to remain the only portion of the Union over which government may not extend a fostering care? So long as there are traitors to our interests in our midst, and controlling papers, we may expect to suller and cry for redress in vain. But, thanks to the greatness of the evils, , the West is becoming aroused on this subject. The evils will through their own magnitude, provide eventually their remedy. Dut to hasten on this time, our voices must be heard. The late Convention was intended as the opening call or demand, and we are gld to hear that its influence is already being felt. Its proceedings have been copied or noticed in a vest number of papers ia the West, and they will be noticed and remarked upon in the East. The memorial has been copied in several papers and will he read in the halls of Congress, and there doubtless call forth the opinions of some of our bestund wisest ttatesmcn in speeches. The convention will prove to have been the germ of great good it may be found in its influences, the crcat lover bv which Congress may be moved into doin ' " " justice to the West. To Houiuy Land Claimant. Wc fand the following letters published in the Viucennes Sentinel, which may inlerest some of our readers: At Homc Nov. 23th, 1S30. J. I!. $ IT. .1.

From the St. Uuis IbpkMUaa. THE lU KKIL'tMl AT CAPE C.IUAKDLAf, Cape Gikardeau, Nov. 27. 1S50. Dear SiR3: I embrace this opportunity of writing to you. giving you a faint description of the dreadful fate of the city of Cape Girardeau, and the steamboat Saranak No. 2. About four o'clock this evening we landed at this place" with the Saranak, bound for (Tk Orleans, for the purpose of taking on boaiS some passengers who had hailed the boat. Jus, after she had landed and made fast, the clouds assumed the appearance of a storm, and as wc were comparatively sate, we thought best to hold on Ibra few minutes until it wculJ pass, at the wind threatened to blow hard. Consequently extra lines were gotten out; but before ue had time to get those on board who went on the wharf-boat to make her last, the storm struck her stern, (blowing upstream at the time.) and in less than five minutes the whole entire rab:n, fixtures and furniture, chimneys, pipes, and iu fact every thing above the main deck, was blown to pieces. There was ome two hundred plows on the roof they werj blown lor

uuinireus 01 yams lrom the boat; part ol the railing was curried on the top of the hill, oae mils lrom the boat. The wharf-boat Chumplain was also blown to pieces. The hill-side was literally covered with the wreck ol the boat?. Hut, strange to say, no one on board was killed, though nearly all were injured. Jos. McCoy, piljtat the wheel when landed, was Mown out of the pilot-house and fell through the cabin near the wheel-house, his a - ribs broken and shoulder cut, but we think he may recover. Samuel I J ill. engineer, was blown out of his room and fell between the boats, badly injured. Mr. Daily, pasenger, w is thrown on a hog chain, and also severely injured, though the physician thinki they wid ah get over it. "Many others were slightly injured. Not one of the crew, or passengers i:i the cabin, but has lost some of their clothes, and some lust all they had in the world. One lady had her trunk and every thing she had blown overboard and lost. Ahnost all of the cargo above deck was blown overboard, even barrels ol flour. The bell, weighing 3'J0 pounds, was blown 150 feet from its place, but not broken. The stoves in the cabin were blown ashore, after the cabin and chimneys went to piece. The Hcani and smoke i nstantly caused t!iC alarm cf .ire,vh c!i created tue grtafist exciteinec.t among all; but those of the officers and crew who were not injured, promptly extinguished every parlicle of fire on board, and then relieved those who wen? helpless ar. l confined by parts el the cubin lying on them. The groans of the injured toon brought others who were not, to their aid. Notwithstanding thecal amity wasgreat, the scene no tongue can describe. The danger was threatening, but not one of the offi cers or crew Uli the scene or laltered lrom his duty. Every man stood to his post u.iiil tidier blown away tr the timbers knocked hau down. Hut I have still a more painful ssene to de scribe, and that is the destruction of the town. As t 1 .ave but hlllc knowledge of the size ol the town, and darkness soon set in. I can only give you what I learned up to nine o'cioiK. 1 give you the names, perhaps vou can understand belter how to locate them. St. Vincent College and .the beautiful man sion ol 13. M.

Those win have houses left are offering all the comfort their circnmst incs will admit of, ; and I cannot but admire ths friendly disposition shown to the unfortunate by .the citizens ofCiipo Girardeau. I have "never seen as much kindness and friend -ship displayed to wards any people as the people of this city have shown towards each other, and to u, thnu'!i entire strangers to them. None have been forgotten. They kindlv invited us to their homes, and gave us something to rat and a place to sleep. Our sick and crippled ure at the Johnson IIous, well provided for.

Humor says six deaths. Äs yet, only certain ol three fiftef n bndy injured oms will die ten or twelve slightly injured. Physicians are doing all they can. but I fear sonic will suffer, though everv cfft will be made to render them comfortable. The rain i yet falling in torrents. I cannot say any more.

At a j I tee called Yellow Crrekt about half way between Salt Lake and the junction of the'O egon and California roads, we were the unwilling witnesses to an Indian massacre. On the cveniiu previous, wc had crossed the Creek and en' camped about 11 mile and a half beyond. Near the creek, sonic Snake Indians, thirteen in ad. had erected their -wigwams. Before dark I had en Ir-avor-d, but in vain, to trade with t lie chief for a pony, but "no swap" was i!ih word through. All the while some one of the party kept exhibiting the good qualities and upced ul the UilR-rcnl animals. The young squaws excelled their lords in horse nlanship. or horscwomanship. One youii creature illumed every attitude of the host circus rider. She would pick her whip from the ground under full p-cd ; check fur pony ia his mad career as if he had been shot ; wheel him at full Kpeed by mi inclination ot her bodv : tiirow the lasviuccrs$fullv at whatever object she please J. She rode iiKe me men, yet 'An antelope In tliesusprr.uVd impuNfuf its Jjjbincss Were less eilierialiy light." ' She was an Indi in beauty, too. and somewant ot a coquette in the bargain. She s . ' ; would arch her own and horse's neck nt any praise bestowed 0:1 cither her bounty or horsemanship, and lauzh most heartily at our attempts to make ourselves understood. She was all life and buoyancy but. nlas! she was a cold corpse ere the inorninisun shown upon the valley in which fhe had been so active and happy. Just as the day was breaking, we heard the ominous war whoop, and immediately followed the sharp crack of tl e rifle. W e aroused ourselves from our slumbers and hastened toward the scene of action. A horrid sight met our view. There lav ih de.ul forms of those w ho had lived and breathed the evening b IT ire. Our heroine of the m:ht previous had not escaped. She lay otitic ot her wigivutn. a oiccuuig corpse. to respect had Iu;cn paid to her jet blick locks; the-scalping knife liad passed around them, and thej now d ubilefs grace the girdle of same grartle.-s Utah. Twelve Snakes lay dead" upon the ground, nine of whom had neon scalped, two old Indians and a boy having escaped the knife ; one squiw had escaped by flight. The perpetrators of this horrid scene were about fifty Utah Indians, whom we saw near the camp ol an emizraihig parly about a mile irom me scene nt action. With horror and disgust we turned trom the siirht and pursued our way. f Cor. St. Lou'14 Intel. Fihnd !

One of the witnesses stated that she was there when the step-mother trk some meat and bread antl went into the room where they were to feed them, as she sii I ; the witness watched her, and instead of hev giving it to the children, she put it into a vessel where they could not get it, and returned, ami said with uii oath, to the witness, that they had eat it all up nnd licked the J late. .
