ADD. H. SANDERS, EDITOS. CITY OF EVANSVILLE, . WEDNESDAY MOBNlNG,::.::::::JAN. 16. ' No Otganization yet. I "We have spared our readers the infliction of i ditorial speculations on the subject of the organization of the House of Congress. A month and a half have elapsed since the session opened, and as yet no, organization has been affected in the House, nor is there apparently any prospect of a speedy organization. The country is patiently biding the time when the representatives of the people shall see fit to commence work. Precious time, time which is emphatically money, and money from our Government" Treasury, is being wasted, which 'should be given to earnest national work. Each party faction seems determined to lend its aid to no other faction by which a member fit may be elected to the Speakership. Upon the Speakership depends the formation - of the committees, and upon the committees much that it is thought will have an influence ;tipon the coming Presidential campaign. In ; our opinion the importance of the Speakership this term h entirely too highly overrated. In all the effects to follow the election of a Speak"J er of the one or other faction, it appears to us .they will Lave but little influence outside of 'the House at least the effects outside must S be entirely too immaterial to justify the present course of Representatives. We by no means think the salvation of the Union depends upon who is elected Speaker of the ! House, nor that the success of any party in the coming election is dependent upon its securing ? this Speaker. The National Americans occupy in the tTnnHA am wvtaitim rACif tAti Yrf Vi-rtfi W flirt nm slavery Democrats and the anti-slavery Republicans. They are enlisted with neither extreme, Is there any better or wiser plan, than for the two extremes, after their long and zealous efforts in trying to elect one of their own number Speaker, to compromise by taking a man from the Compromise party? But wo have been bothering ourselves and our readers very little with ' this Speakership trouble, and we are not'going to commence the work now.: Almost the moment an organi- " xation is affected, the telegraph wires will be bringing us the news, which we shall at once lay before our readers. . 'Whisky Editors " . The editor oi iue sn "r x r rl. ecenda to the grossest abuse and slander of us and of "fusion editors," because in allusion to ' his remark, that he had seen "sixty-five drunk n men and half-grown boys" in the streets of New Albany during a brief walk, we called 'him a whisky editor. We know as little of . his personal habits as he apparently does of ours; and in no manner meant to charge drunkenness upon him. But we did mean, in call ing him a "whisky editor," to charge that in - the lace of the fact given above, he with his party ; have been endeavoring to kill a law -which had deprived the streets of Indiana cities of all such horrible exhibition5? of vice as that he describes. If to advocate the cause of whisky does not make the editor of a paper a "whisky editor," we do not know what can give him the title. Better for him to be a ".."common drunkard" and thus exercise but a J- limited personal wicked , influence, than to be a sober man, and through the columns of a public newspaper, advocate a cause which is . the very father of drunkards. . We might re "taliate the editor of the Ledger's abuse, by ap , plying the same language to him that he descends to use towards us, and with precisely the same truth, but we can strike hard blows we ; hope, without using any such filthy wea pons. i The editor of the Ledger alludes todrunken- - ness among persons in our employ. We understand that allusion. The person alluded to, had only one excuse for his unfortunate habits he came to our office directly form the office of the New Albany Ledger! So far as , we know, there is not an individual of the , many in our employ, who so much as touches ; liquor but if any one did, it is none of our business so long as we are not injured by such habits. . We regret that we cannot form "pre- - rious engagements" undertake the business of . reforming the "thousands of drunkards" in our party, as requested by the Ledger. But we have already made an attempt at even that. - We have written frequently and fervently in favor of a strong Prohibitory Liquor Law, - which we are satisfied is the best thing in the world for reforming drunkards, no matter what 'their politics. That cur success has not been . equal to our desires, is the fault of these "whisky editors" who prefer general drunkenness and vice and misery, and who prefer meeting "in abrief walk,", "sixty-five druuken men and t half-grown boys," to losing a little political capital. . ' Nothing new is occurring among the steamboats laid up between this place and Mt. -".Vernon. We generally hear from some of them every day. . The officers appear to be as "'amiable as circumstances will permit, but the circumstances are very disagreeable and not T encouraging to amiability. - 0-We give another letter from our regular Kansas correspondent to-day, and have on file a long Kansas letter from a gentleman formerly of Pike county. It is rich and racy, so ""look out for it. ".: . : .'. ' OrThere are about 20,000 Germans in Texas, of whom from 12,000 to H,0C0 hav tnigraUd from the Weet.

' - - ' For the Journal. FACTS AND FANCIES ABOUT TOWN. Introductory. Mb. Editor: -As in our liitle private correspondence you have kindly acceded to my request for an occasional column in your paper, and promptly and gallantly declared you would assist me in the preservation of my anonvmous mvsterv. even to the fishtins of my battlus, I now introduce myself to your readers, with a brief introductory. I know there are times and occasions when editors cannot say that which they think, and this not from the want of any independence or candor or boldness, but because as their vocation is in a ineasurd to phase, they have not the heart to say that which is displeasing, and which may be unpleasant to personal friends. The anonymous writer has advantages. If he wounds, the victim feels not the pain of that worst wound of all, that the arrow came from the bow of a friend; and if true to the mark, that arrow quivers in a festering vice or a public weakness or a rankling idiocracy, the retaliating indignation can find no certain mark k at which to aim in return. The anonymous writer is thus emboldened to speak plainly, because in his very mystery there is safety. Yet he who abuses the safety of anonymous mystery to work out the designs of private malice, is but a coward he who would thus in the dark strike at a foe he would not dare encounter in the light of open day and face to face, is an assassin. Understanding thus the moral responsibilities and the advantages of the veil of secrecy I have chosen to throw around myself, I hope that nothing I may write will prove I have misconceived the one er abused the other. Yet, my dear sir, I am by no means assured that I will not give offence to individuals and ponio-wu artinles. Indeed, my task I should conceive but poony w aitilydone. if I do not this. It ism vain to siek to eradicate a public evil without offending the evil doers. It is useless to anticipate pointing out public defects either in individual character and life, or in society itself, and not be met by personal resentment or public abuse. But I assure you, my editorial friend, I am not going to suffer a moment's uneasiness by anything disagreeable my communications may engender among individuals or circles, excepting wherein I may feel an error has been committed. . Such errors of heart or of judgment, I shall studiously endeavor to avoid, but I hope will be ready to rectify when proved to be errors. But my readers may think a terrible shower must follow so much introductory thunder. Well, my preface is proper in its place, and after-circumstances of thought and word may prove it was needful as well as proper. . ' ? Now, Mr. Editor, the above has been intended as much for yourself as for your readers, in view of the fact, that you are necessarily as ignorant of the tvho-ts-it? of your correspondent as are those more directly addressed. You have kindly made me an exception to your general rule requiring the true names of your correspondents, and you are even ignorant of my sex except so far as my chirography may expose it. -1 am therefore quite as anxious to assure you as others, that I understand my anonymous position . and shall not abuse it. But after perusing the foregoing, I am sure you must think your correspondent is paving the way for a series of bitter invectives or scandal, concocted in uncharitableness, written with savage delight, and intended to be fire-brands to consume what they may touch. In this 3'ou will be mistaken. I love all things lovable but I hate as warmly all things detestable. I love God's sunshine and his clouds all things from His hands His blessings as the evidences of His love, His seeming curses as trials of the strength of our love; and I therefore most heartily contemn those who not only misuse the gifts and blessings of His'benifioence, but treat with trival lightness or blasphemous familiarity, His very name and the teachings of His word. A class of such persons will form the suVct of my next communication. I shall address you one communication a week, so that if I do not much interest your readers, I shall not greatly weary their patience. INCOG. 22d of February. The Cincinnatians are making splendid preparations for a great celebration of the 22d of February: All of the principal men and editors of the country will be invited, and' a great number of military companies from different places. We shall have more to say about it. 07" "Incog" introduces himself or herself to-day in a brief communication.

Wednesday night. The Missourians were to j have a "Military Ball," to which all who went to the "wars" were invited. The Leaven worth people think it is gotten up for the purpose of burning the city. They say they are not going to bear the name of cowards any longer, but will defend their property with their lives." It is a great pity they have not three or our of the Lawrence boys there. I am sorry to see the Eastern papers publishing the telegraph dispatches from Kansas. I thought they all knew that we have no use of the wires whatever, and that nothing can go over them unless it is something opposed to the Free State party in Kansas. We tried to seud dispatches giving a true account of the war they would not permit us to do so. see a lot of dispatches in your last patches in your last paper, and assure you there is not a word of truth in them. When any difficulty occurs the Missourians immediately send their report of it; we, try to send ours but can't. The Missouri version, never correct, is the first one received, iSpublished in all the Eastern papers, and of course injures the Free State party. . Any thing copied from the St. Louis Republican, in rogurd to Kansas, is as sure to be a lie ai the sun is sure to rise to-morrow morning. The weather has been extremely cold for a few days past; the thermometer stood at 22 below ero on Christmas Day, colder than it has been for five years. The Missouri river is blocked tight and fast. ', .... 1 ire Tire amiy waiting to hear some news from Congress; a number of "our public men have gone there to present our case in its true light before that body. Kansas affairs are in a critical position at present, but we cannot but think that Congress will do us justice. ' My best respects to all my friends, with a happy Christmas to all. Yours, &c. G. A Great Country What it Costs to Fence it. The amount of capital employed in the construction and repair of the wooden fences in the United States, would be deemed fabulous, were not the estimates founded on statistical facts, which admit of no dispute. Burknap, a well known agricultural writer, says: "Strange as it may seem, the greatest investments in this country, in the most costly productions of human industry, is the common fences, which divide the fields from the high-waj-s, and separate them from each other. Xo man dreams that - when . compared with the outlay for those unpretending monuments of art, cities and our towns, with all their wealth are left far behind. You will scarcely believe me when I say that the fences of this country cost more than twenty times the amount of specie that is in it." A Difference. The Speaker of the British House of Commons, is an office of considerable emolument, according to the Washing ton Globe, in comparison with the office of Speaker of our House of Representatives. The salary of the former is 6,000 a year, ex elusive of a furnished residence. At the end of his official labors ha is generally rewarded with a peerage and a pension of 4,000 for two lives. He is a member of the Privy Council, and entitled to rank after barons. Our Speaker receives nothing but double pay of member. A Kentucky Cadet become a Russian Lieutenant. Mr. John El wood, a graduate of the Kentucky Military Institute, of the class of 1854, and a resident graduate during the succeeding year, has received the appointment of first lieutenant in the Russian army, through the Jtussian minister at Washington, and sailed from Xew York, on Monday last, on his way to Berlin, where he is to await orders from St. Petersburg. To Preserve Cattle from Disease in Winter. When cattle are left out in the winter, it is recommended as a useful practice to rub some tar at the root of the horn, which prevents the wet from getting between the root and the skin, and it is said, contributes to preserve the health of the animal, and to keep it free from various diseases to which it may otherwise be liable fj-Tbe New Albany Tribune rmy be addto the list : of papers preferring Fillmora ' pn T.n rna list ni mnprs nrirerririo- r mors I I .1 .

Farther accounts will be give in our Saturday evening's edition. As soon as the execution was over the crowd dispersed. Thus ended the first execution ever wit nessed in Lafayette. God grant that it may be the last. The Journal of the morning gives the folk w ing account of the horrible indifference and levity of these bad men. One of them, it will be , remembered, when sentence was passed on him, made the most awfully profane remark that ever escaped the lips of human depravity, lie said "he wanted to be hung early, so as to be in hell in time for the first table at dinner. The unfortunate criminals still manifest a reckless spirit of bravado, and to use their own language are determined to "die game" in the face of God and man. We stood in the guard room yesterday which by a grated door commands a view of the hall of the jail, and listened to their conversation as ' they were ta"ken from their cells to undergo the operation of shaTing. They joked with the barber upon their approaching execution in a maner too sickening tor recital and indulged in the most horrid profanity. Stocking, strange as it may seem, although quite as jovial, was less profane than Rice or DiLkill. An Old Line Heasure. Mr. Hudson, editor of the Terre Haute Express, and a member of our late - Legislature, thus speaks of the Bank Law: The Governor, however, is very much at fault when he makes, as a part of his letter, an extract from an article in the - Lexington Natiorml Guard, in which , tho law in spoken of as one "authorized by the late fusion Legislature.". 1 . . : : " "" There was no bill that passed the Legislature of last winter, that was so purely a Denwcratic bill as this one. The leading Democrats in both the Sonate and House, were active in its support. Lieut. Gov. Wiliard exerted all his influence to procure its passage. It was drafted by a disinguished Democrat, and was regarded, while under discussion, as a democratic measure. But whether it is so or not, we are impressed with the belief, that in a short time, before the present stockholders will have paid in any of their stock, they will sell out, and thus afford proof conclusive, of the grand object for which the bill ever became a law. And in corrobation of this, we understand that Mr. Dowling of this place, has already contracted to transfer his sixty five thousand dollars of stock to gentlemen of this city, for a bonus ten thousand dollars!
