MONDAY MORNING:
The Clay County Oiitraß:e8--TIi "Etansville Ju rds"-Tlie Closing Scenes of tUrir Operations will, tlie Ulack Boys and tlieir Advisors. Again at our desk, after a military sojourn Of ten days among the"Black Boys' of Clay county, and their black-hearted advisers and
abettors, during which time we endeavored r:.ur..i -r . i i

necieu wuu me uujeui oi our mission we now propose to avail ourself of better facilities than a pencil and hat crown, to lay the subject more fully before the readers of the Journal. We believe it is the first instance in the -history of our State, where military force has been called into requisition to suppress insurrection, protect public and private property and to sustain the majesty of civil government. The causes which called the "Evansville Guards" from their : homes and their business, to a remote part of the State, to contend with a force of at least ten times their number, whose passions and prejudices were goaded to desperation by imaginary grievances and inflamed by designing and unprincipled leaders, may be found
in the deep interest which every citizen of
Old Vanderburgh feels in sustaining her great channel of trade, the Wabash and Erie Canal, and her devotion to law and good government. It is greatly to be deplored that such a feeling of hostility as seems to
pervade the entire sentiment of Clay county should exist and be fostered against this great public improvement, and the trust which has it in charge; and more especially when the civil authorities of the State are to be outlawed and the interest and credit of the entire State to be sacrificed for the gratification of petty personal differences between the canal trust and a few men who assume to rule the aforesaid county. The outrages which have been committed upon the public works in Clay coun'y, the burning of private property and the driving from their homes at midnight defenceless women and children, challenge the attention oi every well disposed citizen in the State. In addition to the crimes of murder, arson
and trespasses of every grade, comes the interruption and destruction of the commerce of the canal, which had just began to pour into the lap of Evansville, an immense and profitable trade; our commerce is rapidly being extended through the medium of this great work,. to every locality through which it passes, from the Ohio river to Lake Erie. Our citizens have invested largely in the construction of boats and warehouses; our city has built a commodious and expensive wharf, all of which are to be comparatively worthless if these indispensible appendages of the
canal are not sustained. It is not worth while to talk and quibble about the grievances which the citizens of Clay county complain of, since the people of that county, as a community, have long since ceased to recognize the law of the land or its ministers, as the proper authority to avenge their wrongs or redress their grievances. They have established a "higher law" unto themselves, and in their late attempt to enforce it by
their organized mob called "Regulators," while they have gained nothing but infamy to themselves, they have inflicted serious outrages upon the persons and property of others, among which cur own city is a large Bufferer. The civil authorities of Clay coun-
EASTEKN COUBESPOMDESTCE. Philadelphia, June 19th, 1855. Dzab Jovshal: Just one week ago I dispatched you a
missile. I was then, weary with night travel
and loss of sleep, a moody mass ot somniferousness. I am now, however, waked up, and bare been looking around me. Gallilea was victimized for saying "the world moves," but if he should now wake from his long sleep, he would improve upon it, and say, as we do, and no inquisition to even box our ears for it "it goes with a perfect rush." Philadelphia has been no exception to this rush ahead condition. I have not ascer
tained anything about its increase of population but as regards its buildings it has been changing with magic. Structures which only four or five years sgo were the pride of their owners, are now in the back ground. One thing is worthy of note the last two years has been characterized by the number of large fires.but where these took place, especially on Chestnut and Market streets, the most superb and costly edifices have Bprung up.
But what has pleased me more has been
the obvious improvement in the morale of the city. Mayor Conrad is not Mayor
Wood, and yet he is emulating his excellence
in numerous ways. Philadelphia has had no such municipal head for many years, and
the good effect of his fidelity are showing themselves more and more every day. He
is making every use that he possibly can of
the power he possesses to crush vice of every kind. He is the implacable foe of the liquor
dealer, the gambler and the rowdy.
The prohibitory law of the State has not
yet gone in force but there is a Sabbath
law of which the Mayor has nade no little use and the consequence is that the
liquor shops are all closed on the Sabbath, and there is but one opinion now among
order loving citizens, and that is, that there
is as a consequence of this action less
noise, fewer fires, riots and arrests for mis
demeanor, than at any time within the past
ten years.
A few weeks ago the Mayor with a platoon
of police men made an unexpected descent
upon a gambling house, in the very heart of
the city, and which has generally been re
garded, tint is, except to the initiated, as a
splendid private mansion house, and found here, not only the furniture of one of these
Hells, but some twenty or thirty persons in
the verv act of gambl'insr, and a large part of
these reputable men of standing, confidenlia
clerks, &c, &c.
Another nuisance has been abated through his determination. The Sunday court, by
which persons arrested for misdemeanor have had an immediate hearing. This court
has been a grand rendesvous for the idl
and loafing and a fruitful source of demorali
zation. The Mavor now says if "men of
fine feeling" will so far forfeit themselves ts
to disturb the peace of the city, let them
be taken care of at the public expense unti
Monday.
Great chance has been made in the police
department. Hitherto, to a very great extent, the police were ( unprincipled con
stables, mostly rum suckers, hanging about taverns. Now they are sober men seen every where ldoking to the interests with which they are entrasted. The enlargement of the police force has been a ground of dissatisfaction with not a few citizens. They complain of the increased tax resulting; but
every reflecting man will perceive that where five per cent increase has been made, at lea6t fifty per cent increase of security to
property and to the peace and order of the city has been the result. Cities want a good police or they want none. Talking about complaints, a just one is
"three wise men that went to eea in a bowl' and this bowl foundering, at sea. Another an independent looking b'hoy, as he might be called, with hia hat on tbe back of buJ
bead and cigar in his mouth, driving a couple of rather fast nags attached to the car of freedom, and underneath, the signi
ficant remark, "Sam is bound to hold the
reins."
Mottoes upon smaller transparencies were
without number. Among them Büch as these; "Americans must rule America,"
Place none but natives on the outposts,"
Religious toleration," "Free schools and
the Bible without note or comment." "No
foreign interference," &c, &c.
What this movement will lead to no man
can predict. My feeling is that truth and virtue are corner atones of our republican
nstitutions, and any party that will prac
tically ignore these, by so doing will necessarily jeopardize the interests of our be
loved country, which may a just go ever
preserve. Yours, &c, M.
meeting of the Evansville Guards. On Friday evening pursuant to notice the
citizens of Evansville assembled at the Court
House to receive the report of the Volunteers who has just retuned from Clay County after
protecting the workmen whilst repairing the damage recently done to the works of the
Wabash and Erie Canal.
Judge Baker in the chair.
Resolved, That Gen. Dodd in the management of the delicate and dangerous mission with which he was entrusted, has done good service to the State, and has proved himself endowed with high qualities of courage, ability and skill, ana that he merits the thanks of every good citizren of Indiana, and -of the Executive of the State. J . Resolved, That In the opinion of the Evansville Volunteers, the citizens of Clay county residing near the Birch Creek ileservoir had just grounds of complaint, in so much as the timber thereon was not removed or burnt before submerging the land with water, but that their act, in catting tbe embankment of said reservoir, was wrong, and that
its tendency was towards the subversion of
all law, and involved an example traugnt with incalculable evil to Society, and to our
government. Resolved, Thai the acts of Certain individuals in Clay county in destroying the
Birch Creek Aqueduct, in burning private dwellings over the heads of defenceless families, and in maltreating private citizens, were shameful, disgraceful and unworthy of any one calling himself a man. Resolved, That the conduct of James M. Hanna and Capt. John Osborne of Bowlinggreen and other persons in Clay county, who aspire to the position of framers of public opinion, in inflaming the minds ot the ignorant and agging on the thoughtless to the commission of crime should brand them with
the stamp of enduring infamy, and that it is
the hope of the Lvansville Volunteers that
these intriguing scoundrels may yet be
I brought to a just punishment. Rcsolvrd, That in the opinion oftheEv
ansville Volunteers the timber in the Birch Creek Reservoir should l e removed as soon

There is no doubt, however, that Lafayette has been the bead quarters ol as great a gang of villains as ever trod the earth. No crime
whatever seems to have been too horrible or damning to have deterred them in the least
