FRIDAY MORNING: :::::::::JUNE 8. The Canal Meeting. Last Wednesday evening a very large meeting of the citizena of Evansville was held at Apollo Hall, to take into consideration the recent outrages of the mob in Clay county, in breaking the reservoir and canal, burning the aqueduct, &c. Apollo Hall was crowded, and but one feeling seemed to pervade the mass, that of strong indignation against the course of those men, who taking the law into their own hands, and to remedy mere imaginary evils, have for a time by their lawless acts rendered almost useless that portion of the Wabash and Erie Canal below Terre Haute, and thus struck a heavy blow at the best interests of this ai.d other communities, and thrown out of employment a large body of worthy men. Whatwonder that we particularly feel indignant, when a body of not two hundred men, thus sacrifice thousands of dollars of business, and at a very important time of trade and commerce too, throw hundreds of better men than them selves out of employment, and destroy the usefulness of a great public work, the full benefits of which we were but just beginning to realize! Still less grows the wonder when it ia recollected how long and grievous J-1 : A in rrntlnn tViia .onol ' B UClfilV WC 111 c&diiux IUI. .uuij I into practical operation But warmly as every man at the meeting seemed to feel, the whole proceedings ' were marked with dignity, but with a firm determination to see the law prevail, and the outrageous proceedings of the Clay county mob stopped at any sacrifice, and the crim inals brought to punishment. Messrs. Row ley, (Canal Collector) Ingle and Carpenter, made strong speeches, the latter gentlemen dwelling particularly upon the effect abroad on the honor and credit of the State, if these riotous proceedings were not at once and promptly quelled. We Bhould much have liked to give an abstract of these proceedings, but our space is limited. It is enough to say, that they made those present feel this is not merely a subject in which this community, and communities along the Canal, Wve a wirm interest, out ik whole Slate is directly implicated so far as the preservation of its honor and credit is concerned We regret with others, the course of Mr. Coffin, of Parke county. He made a speech against the resolutions offered, and from the ery apparent motive alene, of injuring the trustees of the Canal in public opinion here This community has already spoken its free and can did opipMns on those in authority, so far as thi canal is concerned, when our peopie felt aggrieved by their dilatory action in
former times. But our citizens have nodis-Jne
position now to listen to the repetition of either individual or general grievances, so far as the trustees are concerned. There was no such allusion made in the resolutions eith- , er to the bond-holders or trustees, in laudation of them, as tojustify Mr. Coffins ex-ce-dmslv coarse charee vf falsehood on the nart of a certain stufpmpnr f tfc tions. And at all events, the consideration of their action, good or bad, had nothing to do with the object of the meeting. We desire to treat a stranger with courtesy, especially a gentleman who has done good and laborious service in our State Legislature, yet we beg leave to say, that his remarks at this meeting, though well spoken, had much better have been omitted, both for the credit of the speake, and the harmony of feeling which pervaded the meeting. They .were out of place, ill-timed, and the suggestions of motives and prejudices with which the meeting had nothing to do. No better evidence of this need be given, than the fact that the resolutions were passed without a ingle dissenting vote. Our community how impatiently await the action of Gov. Wright. We are pledged to lend him any aid he may demand, to carry put strong and prompt action on his part as the executive oflicer of the State, in this affair. He has but got to make his desires known. We trust there will be no delay on his part. We assure him there will be none on the part of our citizens when the proper time comes. Max Missing. A man named Reuben P. Harper, engaged in the shoe business at Boonville, left Lis home last week to buy leather, &c. at Evansville. He purchased some goods here, which he shipped home, but has not been heard from since. He has perhaps gone off on a spree, to which he seems somewhat addicted. His wife was in our office yesterday, very much distressed at his absence, fearing some accident has happened him. Any information relative to him sent to her at Boonville, will be thankfully received. tCS" Hon. Erastus Brooks of the New York Express, is seriously ill of an affection of the lungs and general debility, induced by a rery close application to his duties during the last session of the Legislature. His con troversy with Rishop Hughes has been as arduous as it has been triumphant 8nd we hope he will live yet many years to enjoy the fame of having effectually answered and fully silenced such antagonist.
Travel among tUe Cloud. Considerable anxiety was manifested during Wednesday relative to the fat9 of Mr. Brooks, who started Tuesday afternoon with his balloon on a tour of observation beyond
hnve the clouds. As early yesterday morning he had not arrived, the readers of the Journal began to think there must be some truth in the telegraph dispatch we published, dated 185 miles above Terra firm a, giving an account of his collision with the man in the moon, and the news that he was depending on astray comet for provisions. But later to in the morninsr. Mr.B. made his annearance r on the steamer Glendale, returning in a directly opposite direction from what he was aiming when he disappeared behind the clouds out of the sight of Evansville gazers. He called to see us yesterday, and gave an account of his trip, which we presume our readers would be nleased to hear, as so marv of them marked with wondering eyes his rending the mystic veil that shadowed the earth, and disappearance in the infinitude of cloud and sunshine above A few minutes after leaving the enclosure, at ten minutes past 4 o'clock, he was passing through a dark canopy of clouds, in a westernly direction from the city a dim mist slightly obscuring the balloon at first from the gazers below, then closing in upon it, and enwrapping the navigator and his slight fabric in its mysterious veil. He was a long time getting through these clouds, the gas becoming rarified by the damp coldness, and the clouds very heavy and thick. So impen etrable was their mist he could not see the balloon, but felt the droppings of water which trickled from its smooth sides. But I i;l,. l.,.it i !, ; i,- .u .L.

He had emerged from a valley of clouds, but swiftly ascended the sides of the mist moun tains, and soon the gas-winged machine shot above them like an eagle, and traversed the illimitable ether as a thing of life and beau ty The warm sun expanded the gas, and the sides of the balloon perceptibly swelled with its strengthened life, and it mounted swifter than ever. Just above the clouds, the heat was oppressive, from the reflection of the sun. The shadow of the balloon was plainly thrown upon the clouds, and the voice of the sronaut was echoed with eur PrisinS distinctness. But as he rose higher, the atniucyWorft .became cool, then unp!easntlv co d. rrost formed on the Daitur,. and thefleshofthe navi-rator aDoeared to .1 ha awn in hv thfi PYtrpmn rnr firnt nn nf .. j the atmosphere, with a sensation of tightness in the head, and a buzzing in the ears rr was then at his highest elevation, probably three miles above tne earth, and higher than he had been any previous ascension. And till I'ght fleecy clouds were above him. As nau approacnea mese DanKs ot misi, they disappeared, and when he got where they had been, they were not, at least to his view. Below him rolled clouds upon clouds, and beneath them the earth, but not perceptible to , . him. immediately on getting through me hrst clouds, he met with an upper current of air, which reversed his course. He evidpntlv passed over the lower part of Evansville, as he could distinctly hear the hammering of boilers, the rumbling of wagons, and the puffing of a &teamboat! In about an hour and a quarter from the time of starting, he was descending rapidly through the lower tier of clouds, and the earth again broke upon his view. A beautiful little town appeared about two miles distant. This was Rockport, Ind., forty miles from Evanf-ville by river, and in a directly opposite course from that which he took at starting! But an under current of wind swept him back in the country, out of sight of the river and of Rockport. He finally attempted to land in a large field near a house. A couple children ran in the house greatly alarmed and told their mother, "the moon A-as coming down!" A gust of wind, however, swept the balloon out in the forest, and it landed in the top of a high hickory tree, where it firmly stuck. Some women and children came in sight and fled. He understood afterwards some men flew to their rifles! But several men finally gathered beneath the strange visitor and offered their assistance. Mr. B. stayed up in that tree about an hour, but finally got pulled down by means of a rope. The balloon and netting were torn, but not very badly. Mr. B. found he had landed on the farm of Mr. John Stevenson, in Luce township, Spencer county, eight miles back of Rockport. He was treated very kindly, and very properly regarded as a great curiosity. Neighbors came in on foot and on horseback from miles distant, with lanterns and torches, and he did'nt get to bed till 3 o'clock in the morning! Some wanted to know whether he intended to fill up and start off again in his balloon. In the morning he was taken with his balloon to Rockport, where he got a steamboat for this place. 03" Late advices from Havana state that the organization, arming, and drilling of the colored population in Cuba still continue. The Yucatan Indians continue to be introduced into Cuba with the consent of the Mexican authorities. Nearly 200 of them were landed at Havana on the lth from a Spanish vessel and sold under contract made previous to their arrival.
CAN Ali MEETING. At a called meeting of the citizena of ( Evansville, held at Apollo Hall Wednesday j
evening, June 6th, Mayor Johh S. Hofkihs was called to the Chair, and A. H. Sanders and Rob't Robertson appointed Secretaries. Mayor Hopkins, ontaking the chair, briefly stated the object of the meeting was to take into consideration the recent outrages ot a band of lawless men of Clay county, in cutting away the Birch Creek Reservoir and! Canal adjoining, burning an acqueduct, üic. the creat injury of the business oi me , Canal and the interests of different communi-J of lies, more especially perhtps of this. There were others present better posted than him self in the details of these outrages upon law and order. Judge Battell offered the following reso lutions, which he had prepared for the con sideration of the meeting, and if deemed expressive of the feelings of the meeting, for its approval: Resolved. That this meeting view with disapprobation, which they can hardly find words to express, the late riotous proceedings in Clay county, Indiana, in whicn such damage was done lo the canal, that, if not re paired, will render useless any commuuica- . . t . . i J lion by means of it, between this city and Terre Haute. . It seems a moo, a snori ume since, uja&acu t I . fc r I and armed, banded together to let out the water in Birch Creek Reservoir-Hi reservoir necessary for the supply of water at certain Deriods to the canal and that when shortly after men employed by the Trustees in re pairing it, the same bandits who had let out the water in the reservoir, armed and masked in like manner, drove them away, and eubseauentlv destroyed Birch Creek Aqueduct.

" : this and Terre name was in pari construeed: she was first to propose the meeting at Terre Haute between the citizens more directly interested and the agent of the Bondholders of Indiana, at whictt the oasis or the arrangement was made, and which was finally carried out by our Legislature, oy which the Bondholders undertook: its con struction. We need say nothing of the injury, which Evansville would sustain if the Canal is des troyed. The warehouses built with refer ence to it, would be useless lots purchased on account of it,sink to nominal value the commerce and trade which she already begg.n largely to enjoy b means of it, will cease and be diverted to other channels. But the consequences to tne honor and pros'1 . i . . . i. . r 11 r,UT m luc " most paiBiuny impress us. It is Known that the bond-ho d-.-rTj: u L cisui Aiiuiaiia, uy cuuirici wun ner, Btrreea to complete that 'part of the Canal, which at the time of the contract was unfinished, and men to taue it in payment of one-half of her ueui. a ney nave compueu wun ineir agree--J .

But this is not all tbe evil we shall sustain by our violation of State faith; no one vvliltrustus hereaf. ter; who will loan to citizens of our State, P" State, county, city or railroad bonds, after it is known thai our governmnt dare not enforce its own laws, and that here mobs rule when they pleasel It is melancholy to think, that this great work, the "Wabash and Erie Canal," of which we are so justly proud it beinw greater in extent than any internal improve m?nt of the kind in United States, perhaps in the wor.d; a work that has already greatly increased our nrosoeritv and added to our wealth, and thereby lesseninrr thp hmrlon f our taxes mav be renderprl rnmnimiii-siii useless, uniting as it Goes the Northern Lakes with the waters of the Mississippi, it will creale an internal commerce which will not be equalred by any in this continent, fl will ever be a powerful means to develop the resources of Indiana. Looking at the future, we scarcely can calculate the golden showers it will scatter in our midst. We trust men it win never oe sud otthis macr. nificenl work, it icas destroyed bu a few irresponsible desperadoes, which the Government of Indiana dared not. or wus unable to rut down. Therefore resolved, That His Excellency, Gov. Jos. A. Wrifftit, be reauested immediately to take measures to put down this mob using every means that m?y be ex pedient, torce it necessary; and we hereby pledge ourselves, if need be, with "our lives and fortunes." Resolved, That the citizens of Indiana, especially those on the line of the Canal, be requested to hold meetings, and express their opinion upon this subject. -11 .... . J. - . . itesoivea, i nat a Uelegation of citi zens be appointed to wait upon His Excellency, Gov. Wright, and present him a copy of theee proceedings, and request him to carry out our wishes as expressed in our resolutions, and further to confer vith him on the subject as their wisdom may suggest. Resolved, That a copy of these nroceedinffs be published in each of the newspapers of in lb cuy. Nathan Rowley, Esq., being called upon, stated he had visited Terre Haute for the purpose of ascertaining the extent of injuries committed by the mob, &c. He had been assured by Mr. Dowling, Trustee, that all the repairs might be made in two weeks if the laborers could be protected. He spoke of the immense importance thin canal was just getting to be to Evansville, and gave a tabular statement of the amount of freight received and shipped by the canal during the month of May. The imports were over $30,000 in value and the exports over 100,000. The tolls collected at Evansville for the month amounted to $1069. He approved of
the resolutions, and thought instant action j Bhould be takeu by the Governor in view of the course of these rioters. Only 180 men
had thus stopped the business of the whole canal, and greatly to the injury of this community. We could not and would not stand U as a community. John Ingle, Esq., responded to a call in a very able speech, in which he reviewed the actions of the Clay county mob, the prst history of Indiana as a law-abiding community, and the fßects ot this moD spirit n auowea 10 proceea uncnecsea, ana espetiany its effects upon the honor and standing of this State abroad. He urged the necessity of strong action upon the part of the Gover- J nor, end declared the willingness of this i community to supply any deficency of nerve on his part, and volunteer money and men if necessary. Dr. Hatchett moved that this meeting resolve itself into a company, and report it eelf to the Governor as ready and willing to defend the Canal against all such outrageous proceedings as those of which we are now complaining. Mr. Sanders offered as a substitute the fol lowing resolution, if accepted, to be placed Um0ng the regular resolutions, as offered by lTniift I?attell-. -n - Resolved, That this meeting pledge the Governor, on behalf of the city of Evansville, a volunteer force of armed men, as many as may be desired by him, to assist his Excellency in restoring order in Clay county for arresting and bringing to punishment these offenders against the laws of the fa täte, against all order, and against the interests of Various classes and communities, and the honor of Indiana and for protecting any la borers who may be sent to repair the damw - . i -r u-r i a?es lnmciea upon lire wurna ui uicuami .-...

Mr. J. S. Gavitt replied to one portion of Mr. C.'s remarks which was answered in turn by Mr. C. Mr. Willard Carpenter addressed the meeting, and made a forcible speech in review of the building of the canal, obtaining donations of land, &c, &c, and warmly re commended immediate action to stop the t . i. .

The miserable wretches who have al ready occasioned so much trouble in Clay county, by their destruction of canal works, are still engaged in destroying, it appears We make the lollowing extracts from Terre Haute papers of the 5th: Reservoir. On Saturday night, between 11 and 12 o'clock, the Reservoir regulators visited tho scene ot their former villainy Mr. Mason and I once more, and orderui2 a wife out of doors from a shanty which they occupied, set it on fire with eleven other similnr buildings, tho property of James Beard and Adolphus Erisman, and burned the whole village of workmen's shanties to the ground, with tools, barrows, &c, which they contained; the whole less being about S600. Ttrre Haute Et. Reservoir Defredatioss Again. We learn this morning thai a band of the Reser voir Regulators burned all the buildings that the workmen occupied, together with their tools, wheelbarrows, etc., on Saturday night last. Eleven other buildings besides those occupied by the workmen, were burned t0 tbe ground. James Beard and Adolphus Erisman, are losers to some extent. This destroys, we believe, all the principal places of abode for the laborers on the Reservoir, and renders every effort to repair the canal, dangerous and almost impossible, unless a military guard is stationed there. What is to be done to check these depre dations! Can't Joseph tell the people what to do? Workmen cannot be hired now, at any price, to remain on the Reservoir. These outrages are becoming more alarming, and the desperadoes more daring. Can we stand and look upon these acts with indifference acts that disgrace the county, and will also be a reproach upon our State, if they are permitted to triumph over justire. Terre Haute Amer. Coroher's Inquest. An inquest was held before me, in Union Township, Vanderburgh County, on the 6th inst. near the residence of Alexander Maddux, over the body of a Negro man name unknown, stout heavy build, not above 30 years of ae, and supposed to have been drowned deceased had on a woolen drab pea jacket, dark pants and heavy boots. In his pocket was found a steel barred pocket-book, containing one $5 bill "Bank of Louisville." One $3 bill "Middle Bank of Tennessee" Labanon, and three dollars and forty cents in silver making $11,40. JOHN TRIBLE, C. V. C. Evansville June 7th 1855.
