CITY OP EVAN8VILLE: TUESDAY TZOIt.MXt:, DEC. IT. County Library. "With satisfaction we liave noticed the interest taken in the County Library by many of our citizens, both in the city and vicinity. There are those regularly to be found at the Library ltoorn every Tuesday and Saturday afternoons, returning' and drawing books. Amung these are ladies and children. As Librarian, we welcome them with pleasure, and would always much rather receive a large number than few. Considering the price of subscription is so low. being only fifty cents tier annum, the litt of subscribers is not so '.irge as it should be, although probably num ering more than wa3 anticipated as a com nencement. We urge our citizens, one and ill, tocume forward and aid this good work. The money benefits no individual, but is to be :sed in paying the expenses of the Library, nd in the purchase ol more booKs. As yet, he Library is snull, but a new arrival is laily expected, and it h to be hoped those itizens who can, will make donations to the Library. This is done in every place where. in public libraries are founded, and we hope Evansville will not prove an exception. We are all interested in the prosperity of this newly founded enterprise. Those especially who have families, or who have a kindly feel ing towards the youth of Evansville, should feel that the liberal support of this Library, and thus the more general extension of its usefulness, is a matter of no small conse quence. Many a youth may in after lite. point to tins Library, as the starting poini of his uäefulnesff, and probably of his great I its 3. It will be recollected that the Library Room is open this afternoon, and every Tues day and Saturday afternoon. IS I tick guard ism. We give the following paragraph from a dirty little paper published at Natchez, as a specimen of the arrant and disgusting blackguardism with which some Democratic editors are in the habit of assailing men better than themselves. It is but a paragraph from u long article against the talented editor of the Louisville Journal, and it is al out as mild and deceit us anything else which appeared in the, article. Of course such an attack but produces a smile of contempt from Prenticei as it can never injure him at home or abroad. J ust such articles, and c,vcn worse, have greeted us at every turn in our editorial life, and we shall expect them so long as we do our duty as an editor, und have blackguards for op opponents. They never produce a thought of iudignatioi); nor one reflection that they will injure us ithb estimation of honest men Their only effect is pity and contempt for in dividuals, who, unable themselves to occupy a place , in decent society, und scorned and condemned by all honorable citizens, take their revenge in abusive attacks upon those immeasurably above theo; in every attribute of worthy meir. That blackguard in Natchez might as well hope to injure Prentice by such a pangragh as that given below, as blackguards here or elsewhere anticipate to defile our character by slander and abuse, among citizens, some of whom have known us publicly for years, and when no man in the city ever saw or heard of a serious charge against our private or public character etna nating from a resectable source. Here is the extract: It would be poor revenge, indeed, to cow hide the miserable cuckold of the Louisvi'le Journal, who is as impotent to resist a whip ping as he is to perform private duties The degradation that he has tamely submit ted, and which has become so notorious in Louisville, sinks him beneath contempt. Were he not too much deformed, crippled and paralysed, we would force him for the author. Stricken by his Maker with the paralysis in his arm for sins which his lying right hand has promulgated (Gd's will be done !) we do not consider him a fit subject tor human chastisement ; but let him reveal the real authors, movers and instigator of these abominable falsehoods in Natchez, or elsewhere in Mississippi, and they shall be attended to in a manner the most ample and satisfactory." The Cljjar Trade. The cigar trade of Evansville has become of considerable importance. Annually hun dreds of thousands of good cigars are shipped from this place to vari ius points in the country, principally up the Wabash. We see Evunsville Cig trs" advertised at different places, at wholesale and retail. This shows that the cigars m tnufictured here, are of a su pcrior quality. We have not the means at hand for giving statistic relative to this trade, and we regret it, us they would prove its importance is fir beyond what is generally believed. Hereafter in our market reports we will notice the prices of Cigars. Good Cigars. Mr. II. Schaeffer brought usyesterdey some specimens of a new arri val of Cigars, designed for his retail custo mers. They are of excellent quality im ported and Louisvitle Cigars, and we recom mend our friends fond of something god in this way to call at his store on Firm Street Last Saturday evening he received a large stock of excellent Cigar, tj which he invites the attention of the public. Mr. SchaefJer is now engaged in manuf.ic luring pretty ex tensively, 'and can supply wholesale custom ers with diflcrent qualities Evansvid Cigar r-bwest rcarkct prices. Give him uial.

INDIANAPOLIS COBRESPOXDEXCE.

Indianapolis, Dec 10th,- 1S50. A. H. Sanders, Esq. Dear Sir: The rate at which the Convention is now pro gressing, promises soon to bring its labors to a close. The time for debate seems to have passed, and the members go to work in right good earnest. The Committee to whom was referred the several reported sections, of the Constitution, in relation to the immigration of free negroes in the State, has not yet reported; but it seems to be understood, that the several subjects will be reported in separate sections; per haps, with a recommendation that they be separately submitted to the people. The most unfortunate occurrence of the session, hitherto, was the introduction by Mr. Rariden, of Wayne county, of a series of res olutions approving the Compromise meas ures, passed at the last session of Congress. In the course of the debate which ensued, a bitterness of feeling was engendered, which will manifest itself throughout the rest of the session. Two- thirds at least of the members thought that the resolutions ought never to have been introduced; that the Convention was not the place for the discussion of the principles contained in them; and that an expression of opinion by that body such an expression not being called for, or sanctioned by the object for which it was convened, would not be entitled to as much weight as a similar expression of opinion from an equal number of citizens convened for that purpose. But when the Convention found, that by the fact that the resolutions were introduced, it was almost forced to express an opinion ei'her one way or the other; or risk the false inferences, which might be drawn from the summary disjKsition which was at first made of them, they were taken from the table, amended, and passed by a handsome mnjoriOn yesterday, the section fixing the number of Representatives at one hundred, and Senators nt fifty, was passed. tinder this section the Legislature may dimin ish, but not increase the number. A pro position was made to dirniuUli the number of Senators, and increase the nu'ubcr of Repre sentatives, but so as uot to exceed together one hundred and fifty. Rut it wa3 thought that this plan would give too much power in to the hands of the lar-ie counties. Senators will serve four years, and Representatives two years. Both must he citizens of the United States. 1 can see no good reason why United States citizenship should .be required in the casa of Senators and Represen tatives, when by a section passed some weeks since, this qurÜfication is not required in any county officers. No officer or appointee nnder the United States, or this Slate, is eligible to a seat in the Legislature. Mr. Walpole made an effort to have Bank, Insurance, or Railroad officers, or 'Attorney at Law, also declared ineligible. Had not this proposition extended to lawyers though many I iwyers voted for it as it was my opinion is. that it would have passed. It is right enough that government officers should be restricted !o one office at a time this the convenience and security of the State in the transaction of its business requires. But it is one step towards despotism, to make the pursuit of any private lawful business, a bar to the enjoyment of an office of honor or profit under the government.' The Convention to-day, fixed the first Monday and Thursday in January, biennially, lor the meeting of the Legislature. Yours tc, J. E. B. Those Uenolutious. The Convention, although composed of a large Democratic majority, has been free from parly action. No Democrat has consumed the time or the Convention to advance his party. A Whig Presi lent hns been sustained by a mixed vote of Whigs and Democrats. and the Whir press is out uiruinst the action of the Convention, because, forsooth, promi nent Whigs have taken a taiul against their President. The people of both parties, will understand the movement. Slate Scntintl. Some Whig editors do come out against the action of the Convention in this mailer. but for an entirely tlitlerent reason from that placed in their mouths by the editor of the Sentinel. They consider that the Conven tion was losing sight of its objects in meddling with affairs of nation! legislation, and wast ing time and money in discussing matters with which as a popular body they had nothing to do. Their reasons are those expressed in the letter of our Indianapolis Correspondent to day, nnd the evil effects of the discussion produced by these resolutions, are noticed in the same letter. The Compromise measures have already been fully and strongly enough approved of by the ptopU , to render resolutions of approval adopted by the people's representatives in tins Convention, nugatory aud gratuitous. What the people can attend to and have acted upon, demands no further action from their representatives in whatever body they may be found. We doubt whether the Sentinel can point to a single ' promi nent Whig" in the Convention, without h6 be an abolitionist, who has taken a stand against the President. If it could, there would at least be some consolation in the fact, that almost every Democrat in the Convention has warmly supported him. fl3" To-day we have the pleasure of giv ing our readers an excellent letter from Indianapolis. We hope the writer wi!! continue his correspondence while he remaiua in that citv. Suchletteiw are more iiiterettin than anything we couu write or select reiuiitre to the proceedings of the Convention.

IäI front California From the Sacramento. City Transcript of Oct. 31st, received at this office, with other' California papers, on Sunday, we make a few interesting extracts. An account is given of the enthusiasm displayed on the reception of the news of Califoi nia's admission. Among the deaths by cholera published we recognize none from this portion of Indiana. Sacramento City appears to be improving very rapidly. In El Dcrado county there was great excitement on account of a threatened invasion by the Indians. They had committed many murders, and were assisted by for

eigners. Companies were organizing. The Indians were all well organized and mounted, and had sent their wives and children away to act more forcibly. The Governor was urged to send troops immediately. Robberies, murders, and gambling appear 10 be fashionable at Sacramento City. The Transcript predicts, it will be, but a short time eie steamships will leave weekly for Panama. We nuke the following extracts from thai paper: Latest from the Plaint. Extract from a letter from Captain W'm. Waldo, to J. Neely Johnson, Esq., dated Summit Sierra. Nevada. October 20, 1S50. Dear Sir: I left ihe "Desert" ni the lUth inst., supposing from all the inform ition I could procure from immigrants, that the hist one had passed my station, or was killed by the Indians. I came to this point in company with about fifty immigrants, including several families; and which I h;ve assisted with teams in travelling thus far. Contrary to expectation, we were ovei taken by a pack train last night. They , had tieen subsisting upon a mule and dog lor the lasl'ten or fifteen d.iys. They state that they know of several companies far back on the road, and who are entirely destitute, die Indians having robbed them of their stock. One l'miily ihey left nt the Desert, to whom they gave a favorite dog which was killed lor food, and upon which alone they must subsist until met with supplies. I bhall to-morrow, in company with one man, start back to meet them witli supplies, such as oxcii.tlour. &c. But few arrive here who have not been robbed by the Indians. It is now uncertain thcu I shall be relived from the du tit sot this expedition, us the last immigrant that camo up. nays that persons were still leaving Salt Lake Citv when they left, the 15ih Sfpteuibei. Without guides who are conversant witii the rouils across the mountainous thesnuv is now some 6 inches deep on the summit, (it will soon fall to the depth of one foot.) they cannot follow the toad even with an abundance of provisions. A miner came to the city a lew nays ago, having labored hard from List fall up to the time he left the mines. He had toiled for his dust during many a drenching rain, and been scorched by many a parch tig sun. He upproachedu lealer of French inonte, and after observing the game with much earnestness, laid down his wuger and lost he bet again and won then bwtting a large sum, he loat of course.. A friend took him from the table, talked to him of his folly, and received a promise that lie would bet no more. The miner's resolution was not strong he again sought the accursed tbh and in an hour the whole proceeds of his year's worK were iu the pocket of the dcuLr. The victim lell the place without a dollar bankrupt in pocket and in spirit complete ly broken. U e saw him next morning, ana a more pitiable lojkiug object we have never met with. Wdl not such a lesson serve as a warning? To the miner who is returning home we would bay, rest satisfied with what you have got. and under no circumstances tc induced to en gage in these games of chance. A, Rich Spot. We learn from fhe Stock ton Journal that an association uf one hund red and nine members have succeded ia changing ihe entire channel of the Tuolumne liver at Hawkiu's Bar, by means of a dam across the river, and upon the bar, beiMg about luu yards long ; also, two canals of 300 )urd in length. 1 his association were at work hist season taking out about twelve pounds of gold per day, when the water raised live feel lat October, and obliged them to suspend operations until this season. The company commenced again on the 26th August, and on the 5th of Sept. were able to take gold out ol the bed of the river until the late treshet on the 23d, which destroyed a greater part of their works. Alter waiting lor the water to sub side, they commenced operations again on the 30th ult., and on the Till of the present month, were again enabled to take out their pounds. The sum already taken rut up lo the present time.' amounts lo over ten thou sand dollars this year. Ihe company are making active preparations lo drain a large hole within the limits of thedain, when they expect to take ihe dust out by the bushel. As far down below t lie water's edge us has been worked, it yields Irom two to eight dulla.s the bucket. High Rents. The Journal complains "of .1. . i . me exceaiive rcms it cs.in v raueieo,aiiii saj itiey must rume dowu that the d iy ot l.iih rents and high interest are pa-s.'d. ihe rate ot ivazc N red aced.aud the rate of living and 1 dging ought to be reduced in proportion. ihe same remarks will hold goo I iu our own city $C00 and 'UO Tor a single taore room per mouth, ij too nni Ii lor the limes.

The Journal says that horses commanded iroiu $10 to $20 on Wednesday, f r persons wishing to go to the prize fight between McGee and Kelly, and the price in carriages ami cabs was $1G out and bark. The "swells" in the east would walk for some time, it they had to pay the prices for livery in thi city. $3 for an hour or two's ride rould nl be well all'orded iu the States. Quartz Rock. Two gentlemen by the name ol Fisher, of. Nantucket, Mass., have recently engaged in extracting gold from what w termed rotten quartz. As an evidence of their labor, we have it on reliable authority, that in the Illinois canon, about 2 miles from Georgetown and 12 from Colom t. they obiaiued 1,700 from one bushel of quatz.

The Rev. Mr. McCarer, of the Presbyterian Church, is delivering a series of Sunday afternoon discourses on the Popular Errors of the Day. We recognize in Mr. McCarer, a gentleman of ability and fine attainments, and as such he seems regarded by this community. Therefore, we think it vould be well for all who can to attend these Lectures. He is generally fair in his strictures, comprehensive, and eloquent at times, in his reasonings, and correct in his conclusions. He deIivercd a discourse last Sabbath, on Fiction Writings and Readings. We regret not having had the pleasure of being present, but his hearers generally seemed to be wcl satisfied, although many thought him too severe. He at least proved that un old hackneyed subject may be made interesting.

John Siitson. The new steamer John Simpson; tujilt lately for the Louisville and Florence trade, arrived here yesterday morn ing, running like a race horse, and with a band ol music playing their liveliest airs. This steamer is commanded by Capt. Jesse K. Bell, and is a beautifully finished, and in every way an excellent boat She has jut been making her first trip to Florence. While there ihe Captain gave a dinner and ball. About one thousand persons dined that day on the boat. We wish all connected with her, 6UCCCSS. If a good Democratic editor will address XV. F.

He had better be delving in the mines of California, than in the 6ame tjwn with "old Hawkeye," Edwards, of the Whig paper in Burlington. He will be flayed alive sure as he lives, or Coolbaugirs experience aiit worth anything. He has cooled that boy off till no wonder he is anxious to get in another climate. JCJThe editor of the Princeton Clarion says he stands upon ihe great Jackson platform.
