Mr. Dlctcta's Card. Mr. Dietch.of the Reform, has published a 'long card in hii own paper and the Enquirer

,.iielative to a charge we made a jalnit him. He ; . might jiate secured a still larger cir- . . culatioa 'for 'his' folly ; if he had applied to ':. us; and as it is, we voluntarily help him alonj. . VHe coinmencea tery. simply and absurdly by 7. saying -'the Journal of yesterday effuses its " "long restrained anger upon our guilty head, ' and opens a volley of abusive accusations . against the Reform." Now, we have no " änger against the editor , of the Reform t We view with most propound contempi his " miatatements of our position on different sub

jects, which mistatements we have marked, ' but not; publicly noticed. We told Mr. D. 'tohisface last Saturday' our private opinion of his course towards us. The "volley of abusive accusations" against the Reform, to which he alludes, was simply one charge, that . the "report" to which the Enquirer . alluded on Monday, that the aale of coal waa to be a -oreigw affair, and no native born citizens would be allowed to bid, tfcc, origi nated with the editor of the Reform. Mr. 'D. denies having originated the report. If he did not originate it, we can bear evidence .that, he mouthed it once during the day, and we heard of him a number of other 'times as having spoken the same thing. We saw him three times go op to individuals, and commence boasting it waa the greateat anti-Know Nothing day he had ever seen, and conclude with declamations about wh it for - tigners had done. And we know he boasted J, to us at least, what we heard of him doing 1 repeatedly during the day, that foreigners had bought nearly all the coal, and it waa their intention to have purchased all. When it is considered that Mr. D. was the only man who made himself thus conspicu ous during the dsy, and the only man so far as heard, who showed any inclination to destroy the happy feeling prevailing on the occasion of this coal celeoration, establish - inj or drawing distinction between the native born and the foreign born we leave it to . .the public to judge, bow far the responsibility of such reports as that alluded to, may ' rest upon him- If he be not directly responsible for the origination of the report, he 'lent valuable aid in giving it currency, and establishing that very jealousy of feeling calculated, .to make, open ears and ready - hearts to believe such reports. : ' We have nothing more to say on the sub V'ject.' If Mr. Deitch considers his course on . that day, either the policy of a good citizen, or commendable as - an example, he has peculiar ideas which must belong exclusively to himself. ' We assure him the re .marks of the Journal have not been called t - forth by any prixalt feelings alone, but as a response to the outraged feelings of others, who witnessed with unpardonable indigna- : lion his impudent interference and remsrks . last Saturday. He may write columns more of explanations but he cannot throw the responsibility from 'his shoulders, of having ': acted the most consummate fool or knave. Our neighbor Sanders is awfully smitten witbt he brilliant prospects of the Straight Line Railroad. We are hippy to hear that it is in a "prosperous condition." Don't wish to be impertinent, dear Add., but would like to know if you're secured free tickets over the Straight Line. 'Pears to us thatyou excoriated the E. & C. dreadfully 'cause they happened to charge you full fare, once upon a time. S'pose you got the promise of a perpetual free ticket, seeing that you are putting in . such big strokes for the Strait Line, and have given our road the "cold .shoulder." Eh! Now, Add., we hope you are not to be brought up in this way. It would be scandal for the great and influential Evancville Journal to sell itself to a soulless corporation, for the paltry sum of a "dollar or two." Never d'ye let such insignificant matters influence you Add. but we know you wont. Vin.Gaz. j "'"! ' The editor of the Gazette seems to have a full appreciation of the influence a dollar or two has in the formation of editorial opinions. A man so quick to appreciate such influence "and to ascribe it as a motive to another's action, is very apt himself to be. moulded just as the "almighty dollar" is applied. However that may be, we wish to correct the Gazette in one particular, especially as the above is not the first time it has made the same insinuation; namely that we 1 are exhibiting an undue partiality toward the 1 Strait Line Railroad, and turning a " cold shoulder" on the E. & C. Railroad. The Gazette baa no other foundation for this 1 charge than that we have warmly advocated the building of the E. I. & C. Straight Line Railroad, and that we are continuing to do ' It will be recollected that the Evans ville Journal jost as Tigorously, as warmly, and as indefatigably .advocated the building of theE.'&C. Railroad: that day after day, and week after week, and . month after month, it ' sustained the enterprise, encoursging its friends, urging the subscription of stock. and pointing out the advantages of the road to city and country, &c.,&e.; and when the I. & C. Strait Line Railroad project came up, we lent our best efforts to intro duce it favorably, and to give it publio confidence, and to open the eyes of the people to its importance. And believing It to be an enterprise of the greatest importance to

Southern Indiana, and especially to Evans-

? Hie, we ahall 6ontinue to lend it the aid of the Journal so long as such assistance may be required. Bot in doing this, we have not turned the "cold shoulder" to the other road, ho more than we have to the Canal, or to the Pigeon Creek Plank Road. " We did not know the Gazette had yet to learn that the Journal is a warm supporter of evert enterprise intended to promote the prosperity of Evansville. We exhibit no preferences, nor do we endeavor to sustain one. enterprise by crashing another. In this particular case, earnestly as we desire to see the Strait Line Railroad built, if it may be only erected on the ruins of the ot er road, we would not say a word in its behalf. But the one running through the Wabash Valley, and the other through the White Hirer Valley, taking entirely iliHeren ranges of country, and through which either road alone could not open; an avenue of trade and travel, we see no reason for the absurd and petty jealousy exhibited by certain par ties at the building of the Strait Line Rail road. We are a warm friend of both roads, and have proven ourselves such, and are no more liable to the Gazette's charge, than it would be to a similar charge of enmity to the E. & C. Road, because the Gazette up holds the Ohio and Mississippi Railroad. OCT The late elections have verified the truth of prophecy. Tne owls havo been routedby tremedous majorities nearly every where in the, spring elections. Almost every city in Ohio and Indiana has put its seal of enduring disapprobation on the nightparty of religious and social intolerance. . r rt 1 inquirer. One would think from the above extract that the Old Line .Democracy had been sporting in an extensiv "owl hunt," recent ly, and a very sucessful one too, as the editor of the Enquirer claims to have routed them "by tremendous majorities during the spring elections." That must have been what the Old Liners were about during the"recent elections" in New Albany, Indianapolis, Lafayette, Cleveland, Columbus, Lancaster and the hundred other towns in Ohio and In diana,which have given overwhelming American majorities. While the Old Line whisky party were busy routing the "ol," the Americans on guard have taken peacable possession of the principal towns and cities in the Union, and will hereafter administer a wholesome government. Pe.haps the editor of the Enquirer would like to instance a few, (say six) of the New England States, among other towns in which the owls have been routed by tremendous majorities. Salt in Illinois. The Mt. Carmel, III., Register, is informed by a letter from S. R. Rrown, one of the company engaged in searching for strong salt water at the old saline works, in Saline county, Illinois, that the Operator struck a vein of salt water "equal to any in America so strong that it will bear an egg; none better in Kanawha." It is the intention of the company to have their works in operation in a few weeks. COT The Enquirer takes a text froia Job, and endeavors to draw consolation therefrom relative to the rise and downfall of Know Nothingism.. We are glad to see our neigh bor studying Job. He will need all the patience which can be drawn from such a source to bear the darts and arrows of outrageous political fortune. Job . was covered with biles, but we don't suppose he ever wss so completely Wed down as is this patient neighbor of ours. f-The New York Prohibitory Liquor Law, is, in its main features, very similar to that of Indiana.. It is in some respects more stringent, and much less clumsy in Its construction. It takes effect from and after the 4th of July next. No licenses are to be granted after its passage except under the provisions of the new law. The penalty for violations of the law are very aevere, and are made f apply to the illegal purchaser ss'wel! as to the vender. The Tribune rsys that the law meets the most cordial approbation of Mayor Woods, who will see that it is executed, to the letter in the city of New York. EC Wo 'see by notice in the Wheeling Times, that Mr.Winters, who visited Evansvillesome months since.ia exhibiting hii chemical Dioramas in that city with great success. He exhibited two nights in Wheeling for the benefit of the fire department, giving them the nice little sum of $400. He has made some valuable acquisitions to his collections since he waa here, and requests us to state that he will give us a call s imetirae not long in the future. We think he may safely be promised crowded houses here again. We notice also that some "professional gentle man" lightened him of about $80 worth of clothing while he was exhibiting at the Firemen's benefit. QOThe Rev. James Hill arrived here yesterday morning on the steamer Belle Sheridan, having been making a trip to the Sunny South on that excellent steamer. We thank him for a large package of papers. He looks improved by his trip. Wovah's Laugh. A woman has no nat ural grace more bewitching than a sweet laugh. It is like the sound of Hutes on the water. It leaps from her heart in a clear, sparkling rill, and the heart that hears it feels as if bathed in the cool, exhilerating spring. ßrThe Union Bank of Chicago, will, ac cording to the Chicago papers, redeem every dollar of its circulation. This is one of the Free Banks of Illinois.

Fresh Shad. The first fresh shsd, from

the Potomac rivef, ever brought to Evans ville, were being offered for sale yeaterday. We are indebted to the enterprise of Mr. Quinterro, for this especial.and to us Evansvillians,?ery novel luxury of shad. Mr. Q. supplied our markets at times during the winter with some of the finest fresh oysters ever brought to this city. S. Quinterro, No. 72 Third street, Louisville, is acquiring an extensive reputation as an agency for" the sale of Eastern luxuries, such as oysters, fresh shad,&c, and we are glad to see he is extending his enterprise to Evansville. We hope he will receive the proper encouragement from epicures. fXJ The Bank of Commerce, has just bought a lot in New York on the corner of Nassau street, 70 feet front, for which the price paid was 230,000, almost equal to 3,400 a front foot. From theX.O. Doll. 5th. Important from Havana. Arrest of more Citizens Particulars of the Death of Estrampes. Havasa, March 58, 1 855. A vast deal of excitement has been, within a few days past, caused in this city by the arrest of various individuals of respectability the most conspicuous amongst whom are Don Carlos Castillo, the Manager of the Bank for Savings, and Don J. Alcorzas, a wealthy broker, a native of old Spain. Hoth these erentlemen are known to be inn ;ont of any offence against either tho laws or morality, and the only reason that can be as signed for the arrest of either of them is, that Senor Castillo was on terms of great inti macy with Ramon Pinto, and may possibly have expressed himself rather warmly with resoect to his cruel execupuonj so dangerous is the expression of opinions or feelings un der the present rule in this island. .Fran cisco Estrampes and his partner in misery, Felix, have gone through with what the Span iards call a "trial" betöre the Military Com mission. They were both declared guilty, as a mat ter of course, and sentenced the former to death, by the garrote, the latter to ten years' imprisonment in chains. Col. Robertson, Acting U. S. Consul here, is understood to have sent in so atrong a protest against the manner of trail as to induce the Captain General to refer the matter to the Spanish Slinister at Washington, before carrying the dead aentence of death into execution; at least, such I know was the information re ceived by the brave Estrampes yesterday Our jails and prison-houses are filled with prisoners from different parts of the Island. Indeed, unless a change speedily takes place, and matters proceed as they have been doing recently, all the jails and forts in the Inland will be filled will, political prisoners. Yesterday the announcement was made public, that six companies of colored militia were to be established in this city. Assured ly there are white soldiers enough to contro the inhabitants on the"ever faithful isla nd" and it must be that the conscience of Gen Concha pricks him, and makes him fear an enemy from without, who, I 'ancy, only ex ists in his own diseased imagination. March, 31st, 1855. I hare barely time sufficient to inform you that Francisco Estrampes was executed this morning according to the sentence of the Military Commission, but not in accordance with the treaty between the United State and Spain, for h had not a fair, impartial, tria as specified in the treaty. ' April 1, 1855. I had barely sufficient time yesterday to announce to you the execution of Francisco Estrampes, but having since then collected a few interesting particulars in relation to him, I now have the pleasure of aending them. When the priest approached him, when in the chapel, with the view to "confess" him he refused to enter upon that ceremonial, and engaged the reverend gentlemen in a theological discussion, which proved he was no believer in the dogmas of the Roman Catho lie Church. He prolessed a belief in the Deity and in the saving power of the Saviour, but in no particular church. He walked from the Punta Jail to the scaffold with head erect, and with as firm a gait as though he were marching to a tri umph, and, when on the scaffold, in a clear loud, distinct voice, exclaimed "Viva la Lib ertad! Muera el Tirano!" "Live Liberty Death to Tyrants!0 . . No effort that human invention could de ise was emitted by Col. Robertson, Acting United states Consul, who, upon this sad oc casion, has behaved in a manner which does honor to the office which he fills. I understand two other parties are to be tried for their lives this week. And Senor Castillo, late presidant of the Savings Bank whose only offence consists in having obtain ed a bill upon New Orleans for the late Ra mon Pinto, is to be banished to Spain. Pi nelo, Cadalzo and seventy others are to go to the galleys next week. This is a wholesale method of getting rid of rebellious subjects but will it render the remaining inhabitants of the "ever-faithful isle" more contented with their present rulers? I calculate it wil not. But that eventually, the very women of Cuba will be four fighting againtt tyrann A considerable addition of Spanish soldiers I learn, are expected here very shortly. Ait apt Scholar. On tho trial of that famous rascal Kbsane for forgery in New York, a fellow knave, Andrew Finhy, turn ed State's evidence, and disclosed the whole operation by which twenty thousand dollars were obtained from a New York Bank upon forged papers r inlay, in his testimony stated that Wm. Kissane, Lyman Cole, and himself were the operators, and that before the act was accomplished he was put through his part under the instruction cf Cole and Kissane. That Cole asked him (Finlay) questions about produce matters, and taught him how to talk knowingly about hogs what they were worth in Kentuck, and a Cincinnati. Cole put Finlay through the forms of an introduction, Kissane and Cole representing the parties upon whom the fraud was to be perpetrated, asking Finlay about business matters generally, and western operations in particular, aud after perfection wss attained Finlay performed his psrt in the actual drama. Kissane and Cole no donbt see now bow their rascally instructions "return to plague the inventor.' One is convicted and the other will be, if justice is even-handed. '

A UOCK OF GOLD! Important Letter from the Kern Rivet Mines-l Monster Gold Boulder Worth $2,0 00,000. From lh California Chronic!, March, 7.) The following letter has been handed to

ns for publication with the assurance that it is authentic. A grocef at North Beach offered on Saturday before, last, his slock of goods for sale at a very low price, with the expressed intention of going to Kern River. He went off, with several friends, in a great bluster, on the America, on the next morning. ' Our informant .bought, the stock of goods, took possession of the grocery, and found in the back room a quantity of dererted clothes and papers, among others this letter, which had no post-mark, but apparently bad been carried for some time in a pocket. IT he let er be true, the great botnder will no doubt become famous the world over. We scarcely know what to think of the letter; but we would advise our .readers particularly; those engaged in any business, to beware of running after any wild reports such as those of Gold Bluff and Gold Lake have been, and as those of Kern River may be. Jokes' Camp, Kern River, Feb. 14, 1855. Dear Bob: Sell out your grocery and ccme down here, right straight. Come as soon as you can. Every day gone is the half of a fortune. Don't forget to bring a good supply , of stone chisels and drills, a couple of hammers and kegs of powder; but I'm d d afraid 1 shall starve to death before you ccme. ; This is the way of it. t-onr weeks ago I left Fort Mil.'er to see the Kern River country, and with little thought of mining. Well, I came and saw that the miners were doing well, but I found no claim rich enough to suit me. I was making ready to leave two weeks before Monday, and on Sunday went out hunting. On the edge of a little stream atyled Polulume Creek I shot a hare and he managed to run on towards the moun tain, about two miles off. I was out of cars. and could not ' shoot him again. He was full in sight all the time, and I followed him through the oak opening, and the greater part of the time be was little, more than ten feet ahead of me. Just at the foot of the mountain I succeeded, after many attempts in hitting him with a club. I was thorough ly tired and laid down in the shade of a large rock. After I got rested, I was so hungry itj - c j , . mai i Kinaieu a are, cresseu my nare. and hxed him up before the nre to roast. While he was there doing good, I sat down and began to pick at the rock with my butcher knife, I had picked away for some minutes, Hardly looking at the rock, when all at once I observed a little gold in it. I jumped up, and by Jupiter! the whole bould er about ten feet high and. wide, and twice as long was lousy with gold! In one side there was a place about two feet square where the quartz was richer than any I ever saw in the San Francisco assay offices. I picked out 820 with my knife in half an hour, I danced like a crazy man; and if I had not been afrial, I would hare yelled worce than a thousand Indians at a war dance. I can't liken my fee I'm us to anything I ever felt on earth. At first I felt scared ot the thought of how rich I would be, and my heart rose in my throat; then I felt as though I had been chased hard by the devil, and had managed to get inside of Heaven's gate just as Satan was about to catch me by the coat tail. It was not long before I got over my happy spell. I had no money; no tools, provisions were high; I had no friends and no acquaintances; I ate my hare, and stayed on the rock thinking, till it waa too late to go home. It got cold: I laid down and tried to sleep, but cculd not; I got up and walked back and forth, thinking, all night. It was a terrible miserable night. In the morning when the sun shone upon the rock, I was happy again. I estimate its valuo not lees than 2,000,000, possibly 83,000,000 or 810,000,000 it might even be! Now Bob, don't laugh atme. I was desperately wild with joy. I wbo had been a dreamer, and a poor devil so long, was to be rich! to be a king! to be able to carry into execution all the darling' schemes which have so often brought the ridictlft of the stick-in-the-muds upon me! 'I wa at last to be able to go heme and claim Rosetta, under the bard conditions claimed by your father. . Towards noon I got hungry. I went up the side of the mountain to some pine trees, in the sides of which the squirrels had placed acorng in holes made by woodpeckers in search of worms.' I dug out a lot of acorns, carried them down to the creek, ate them with fine pepper-grass growing alongside of a spring. I went back to the rock, and staid there till three o'clock studying what I should do. I could not resolve. I then went to my camp about eight miles off. The folks wanted to know what was the matter, I snid I had wounded a buck and zot lust in chasing him. The next . morning I found that my horse had been stolen. I bought some provisions; another revolver, and another pick and shovel and pan, and went back. About 50 yards from the rock was a trail upon which the miners passed every day, and I wa3 afraid to work in the day. At night I went to work to cut off a corner of the rock, but I soon broke the pick so that it was useless. I could find no chisel or hammer. People got suspicious of me. Several followed me; one man found me fitting down not one hundred yards from the rock. I got scared; I carried water in my bucket the whole two miles from the stream, and made a mud with which I washed over the whole surface of the rock. Indoingr this I had to get twenty seven buckets of water, and just tint job alone compelled rne to walk one hundred and eight miles, and I was s whele week about it, doing a greater portion of the work at night, and sleeping in the day time, I am nearly starved out, watching the rock. I went to mining at Jones Camp for a few days, and now am wailing with the greatest impatience for you . to come, with every preparation necessary for breaking up the boulder. After we get it into pieces, we can melt sufficient in crucibles to pay all our expenses, and buy mules necessary for carrying off our rock. I am till yon come. The rock is in sight from the trail. Before I washed it over I could stand on the trail and see the gold glitter in the sunshine; now the dirty yellow Wash may attract attention. What gl?e8 me the most pain is, that miners make a short cut by passing wilhin ten feet of the rock, and sare an ugly gully which starts just before it. I must atay near the rock and I bare no provisions and no money. 1
