EVANSVILLE. 1ND. . MONDAY MORNING FEBRUARY 7

A Speck of "War. Europe is evidently drifting towards a general war. The stock exchanges which may well be considered as the thermometers of public feeling and expectation are yet laboring under the effects of panic. With : the exception of London, every European stock exchange is anticipating a war. Public securities of all kinds are continually on the decline. A carefully prepared calculation shows that public securities have beendepressed some $300,000,000 in value. While such is "the state of the exchange, war-like movements are being carried forward of a magnitude' scarcely before bnown. : Armaments are going forward in France on a colossal scale. Although a considerable amount of old soldiers have been dismissed, on -furlough, still the cumber of recruits for 1858 100,000 have all been called out, exceedingly 40,000, the number in ether years of peace. The arsenals and military workshops are full of activity, and general officers are assured that a serious campaign is in J preparation. Sventy-five new batteries, or 450 guns have been ordered in the public founderies ; new improvements in rifle projectiles are being made ; the" battalions of chasseurs are increased from 400 to 700, and the regiments of the line from 900 to 1,000 or 1,300 men, by a drart on thedepots (where the recruits have been forming) of some 60,000 men ; materials of a campaign are being heaped up at Toulon, and the sites of two military camps, supposed to be near Lyons and at Metz, have been selected, though not yet mado known. To such a pitch has the military enthusiasm been excited, that officers have ceased to order any more civilians clothes, convinced, as they are, that they will have to wear the uniform alone for some time to come. While all this is going on in France, in Piedmont and the Italian States an excitement exists, equaled only by that preceding the outbreak of 1848. The population seem to put the foreign troops at defiance and to be intent upon nothing but to show their utter contempt of established authority, and their certain conviction that the Austrians will, in a few months, have to leave Italy. Austria, in the meantime, is quietly strengthening her army in Lombardy. It has consisted of three army corps the 5th, 7th, aDd 8th, together about 1 00,000 men. Now the 3d is on tbe march to join it. Six infantry regiments (85 battalions), four battalions of Tyrolean chasseurs, two cavalry regiments, six batteries and the whole staff and engineering train of the Third Army corps are reported to be on the road, or lave already arrived in Lotubardy. This raises the force to 130,000 or 140,000 men, who, in the position between the Adige and Mincio, will be able to resist, at least double their numher. It needs but a spark a small outbreak which is liable to occur at any moment to explode this vast traiu. Napoleon has created a storm he will be unable to control. Our country's maxim of neutrality will be of immense advantage to us if the struggle actually takes place. The dissensions and necessities of our neighbors will, in spite of ourselves, redound to our profit. Men that fight have no time to cultivate the soil, yet they must be fed ; and a large portion of the food must come from the vast granary of the Mississippi Valley. In that case, we may look for the specie which has been so constantly carried out of the country to begin to return. Money will be more abundant, aud business regain unusual activity. The Canal Compact wltli Ohio. In 1829 there was a compact mado with the State of Ohio, by which tho State of Indiana, in consideration of the former building and maintaining the canal from - the State line to the Lake, surrendered to Iter a portion of the lauds that the General Government had donated to this State to aid in the construction of the Wabash and Erie Can nl. The agreement made by the Commissioners appointed by the two States to arrange for the construction of the work in Ohio, was subsequently ratified by the Legislatures of the two States, and the faith of the contracting parties was pledged to its observance as a perpetual contract, unless altered or modified by mutual consent of the Legislatures of the two States. There was no express stipulation on the part of Indiana to keep up her portion of the Canal, because she was the party yielding the lands. But the inference is legitimate that the obligation was reciprocal. It was stipulated that Ohio should construct her portion of the canal, beginning within five years from January 1st, 1830, and finishing it before 1850, and she should keep up her portion of the canal and give the people of Indiana the same right to use it that was enjoyed by her own citizens. It also provided that Indiana should begin and finish her portion of the canal within the same periods as Ohio had to complete hers. Pbxssyltaüta Legislature. At the organization of the Legislature, at Uarrisburg, last week, the anti-Lecompton Democracy voted with the Lecomptonites every man of them. The friends of Forney were mixed with the Buchananites I One single vote in the Senate would have thrown the organization of both Houses of tho Legislature against tbe Administration. IIobdeb and Bank Robbery. We learn from a dispatch to the Cincinnati Commercial that Geo. B. Miller, Teller in the Union Bank, at Jackson, Tenn., was struck on the bead in the bank, last night, and killed. The Bank was robbed of a large amount of money. No clue of the murderers and robbers. The Wabash has been in better shipping order this winter than during any season for many years. The short crops aud the navigability of the Wabash has reduced our receipts by railroad.

Legislative Proceedings. After the presentation of various petitions, and a report from the Committee on Finance, the Senate consumed the remainder of the forenoon session, on Thursday, in discussing the validity of the Charter granted the Bank of the State. : The afternoon session was occupied in the same manner. -' In the House the forenoon was occupied in re-issuing . and disposing of various reports of Committees, and petitions, none of which are of particular interest to our readers. In the afternoon the following business came up and was disposed of: Mr. Edwards, under a suspension of the order of business, presented a petition from a Convention of the citizens of the State of Indiana, assembled at Indianapolis, Febrnary 1st, 1859, in reference to the abandonment of the Wabash and Erie Canal. Usrey moved its reference to the Committee on Benevolent Institutions. - Robinson moved to amend by indefinitely postponing it.' Harney believed we should decide the question at once. Hamilton, of Boone, had not any evidence that the petition was signed by delegates from all parts of the State. Edwards demanded for the petitioners a respectful hearing. . Collier moved to lay it on the -table, tobe taken up and considered when other petitions were received. Not agreed to. Hunter insisted that the State had no more right to indemnify the men who may lose property through the abandonment of the canal by the bondholders, than indemnify the poor all over the iho State. The vote was taken on the indefinite postponement of the petition and its sub

ject matter, and stood as follows : Yeas. ilessrs. Black, lioxley, Branham, Brotherton, Carr, Cavin3, Clark, Collier, Clayton, Cotton, Dobbins, Dougherty, Duvoll, Early, Fordyce, Gifford, Gregory, Hall of Grant, Hamilton of Boone, Hamilton of Wayne,Harney, Harrison, Hartly, Hunter, Jeffries, Jones, Jordan,'Kelly, Kempf, Lewis, Mansfield, Merrifield, Nelson, Newton, Power. Ritter, Robinson, Rynerson, Scott, Sherman, Shields, Sqockley, Snyder, Stanley, Sullivan, Thompson of Madison, Treadway, Turpie, Usrey, Whetzel, Whiteraan, Wood, and Mr. Speaker 53. i Nays. Messrs. BIythe, Clay-pool; Coinstock, Edwards, Griffin Johnston, Massey, NebekCr of Vermillion, Nebeker of Warren, Parks, Smith of Miami, Thompson of Elkhart aud Wheeler 14. Claypool and Griffin explained their votes, because they deemed it right that the petition be respectfully referred. ' The House then adjourned. Senatorial Extravagance aed Dignity. The Senate Chamber at Indianapolis was supplied with new furniture in the interim between the adjournment on Saturday and the meeting on Monday It consists of, new desks, stained in imitationjof rosewood, and covered with purple velvet, and large revolving arm chairs. The change adds very rauch to tbe appearanceof the Senate Chamber, and gives it quite an aristocratic air. Old members from the rural districts,' and those who are the particular advocates of economy, shake their heads at this innova tion, which they regard as a great piece of uncalled-for extravagance. It appears that some of the Senators find it as difficult to maintain a seat on the new revolving chairs as on the back of a restive colt for on Wednesday the following resolution was introduced and debated : ' Resolved, That the Door-keeper be directed to take the new $10 chairs out of the Senate Chamber, and replace the old ones, so that Senators will not be put to the trouble of picking themselves up from the floor to the amusement of the Senate. Licence Law and Adulterated Liquors. The following excellent letter is addressed to the State Sentinel by an esteemed and widely known Clergyman of the Catholic Church in this State. Father Besscmies is beloved and esteemed by men of every religious creed, who know him. His recommendation will have weight with all who know his singleness of purpose aud benevolence of design. It is now expected that a temperance bill will be pissed at this session, requiring a heavy license for the sale of spirituous liquors, and although many are opposed to legalizing such traffic, 1 think that the people of our State at large, will besttisfied with such a bill ; for our legislators are, of two evils, choosing the least, and cannot do any better under the circumstances. That the license law will do a great deal of good, will be readily admitted, and no one has a greater desire than I have, to see the increasing evils produced by intemperance, checked. But there is an evil that the license law will not reach; and that is the goneral practice among our dealers iu spirituous liquors, to adulterate them. Hence the horrid scenes of almost daily occurrence among our citizens of delirium tremens. An experience acquired by a life of 20 years in different parts of the State of Indiana, and my previous life for the same period of time, as well as my travels in Europe, convinces me that there are in this country, a hundred cases of delirium tremens to one in Europe in proportion to population. - What is the cause of this ? 13 it that the European people drink no liquor ? Any one acquainted with their mode of living knowsj that they use, besides their claret wine or beer as a common beverage, a great deal of French brandy, which they buy at one cent a glass. How is.it then that they do not get the delirium , tremens, or, as some appropriately call it, "snakes in the boots ? " The reason is that their liquors are not adulterated they contain no poison. But why do not the dealers adulterate them there ? Is it because it is not profitable to do so? No.'. The reason is, not that they have a severe law, as I am told we have in Indiana, for punishing that crime, which destroys valuable lives by thousands, but that they enforce that law, which we do not here, and it is to this point that I hope our legislators will turn their attention. Of what benefit is a law upon bur statute book if there is no" means provided for its execution? Now, who will be willing,under our present law, prohibiting adulterating liquors, to go round in the various liquor stores throughout the Suite, and analyze their stock, and if found adulterated, report the offender to the proper tribunal? No one has the right to do it, and even admitting the right, but very few in the State have a sufficient knowledge of chemistry to make the experiment. What then can be done ? Would it not be well for the Legislature to appoint a general inspector for the State, with a fixed salary, whose duty it weuld be to visit the different counties, arrive at the different points when half expected, go to work, aud if adulterated liquors are found, deal . with the

owner according to law. A step of that kind would terrify the dealers in ardent spirits pre rent adulteration save many valuable lives and to many families, the disgrace of being visited by the man';a-a-potu. . . In the hope that this suggestion may meet with approbation at the head quarters, and produce some good, I have the honor to remain, Very respectfully, AUG. BFSSONIES. January 31, 1859.

CoMmuni'tkieJ. . IIoapKal Tor tlie Insane. Mr. Editor If any of your citizens visit the capitol of this young and thrifty State, let them not go away without visiting the benevolent Institutions. The one for the education of the deaf and dumb the Blind Asylum and the Hospital for the Insxne are all blessings to afflicted humanity. "They are all conducted in a manner highly creditable to their managers and to the State and people that support them. I would like to speak of all, but can, at this time, only briefly notice the Insane Asylum. This Institution has risen from very feeble and small beginnings to one of the first of its kind in this or any other country. It is a noble work, doing an incalculable amount of good iu mitigating the condition of an unfortunate class from the most dreadful of all human calamities a deranged and broken intellect, to which many are hopelessly doomed by the unsearchable ways of divine Providence. I have made frequent visits to this most excellent Institution. The Superintendent and his assistant physicians are earnest and laborious men enthusiastically devoted to their charge. No one, I am sure, can visit this noble hospital without feeling that it is an honor to our State. Dr. Athon is, a gentleman possessing all the qualities of head and heart for the office of Superintendent. As a physi cian, he stands among the most eminent of hia profession; his experience iu the treatment of minds diseased I113 habits of diligence kindness of heart and manner, fit him peculiarly for his present post. If you compare the reports of Institutions in other States with this, you will observe there is a larger number of patients here than at the other Hospitals; yet the expenses of ours are less than that of Ohio, or any other in this country or Canada, as will be shown by an appendix Report soon to be published. The treatment of the patients is most kind and gentle, aud their management is excellent. .. Everything that can conduce to their comfort and restoration is generously provided ; the Doctor is a real friend to tbe unfortunate, and his happiness seems to be to do good to those under his care. Love aud kindness rule the entire household. The place of Senior Assistant is filled ly Dr. Henry F. Barnes, who is an excellent physiciau, and a geuuiue philanthropist, well fitted for his position. It is pleasant to see how his good heart and gentle manners have won the love and friendship of these unfortunates amid the wanderings of their shattered intellects. The place of Junior Assistant has been filled by Dr. Duulop ; his place is now supplied by Dr. McCoy, who is also well qualified for his duties. All these officers reflect credit upon the State, who, in her turn, is fortunate iu securing the services of such men. The Steward, Mr. Hunter, and the Matron, Mrs. Hall, are fulfilling their onerous duties u iih unremitting faithfulness. The Institution, as large and crowded as it is, is insufficient to accommodate all who apply for admission. There are hundreds waiting for vacancies to come in. It is one of the most imperative duties of the people of the State to see that appropriations are made by the Legislature to complete the North wing according to the original plan. This would give additional accommodations for 110 more patients. There is a project I am told, before the Legislature to build another hospital instead of enlarging this. Such an act would be most unwise. Iu the first place, to (mild auother, would cost twice as much as to enlarge the old hospital. The new one would require a complete organization of officers aud physicians for itself ; while the patients could be doubled in the old institution without adding anything of consequence to the cost of its administrative corps. The. project of building another institution is so unwise and appears to me to be so insane, that I shall think the Legislature has been affected by its proximity or intercourse with the institution, should it pass such an act. But I feel great confidence iu appealing to the people of Indiana in behalf of this noble charity, which reflects such honor upon the benevolence of the State, and to ask them to urge their Representatives to give the means to extend the accommodations of the present institution, till tbey shall be ample to embrace every unfortunate lunatic within the borders of the State. J. Wechsler. Minister of the Hebrew Congregation Indianapolis. The Northern Lights out op Place. Some of our readers have doubtless observed a faint, red glow, which for several nights past has overspread the sky, in the southeast." It was the light reflected upon the clouds by the camp-tires of the Gypsies, a large number of whom are encamped in the woods, south-east of the city. The habits and appearance of this singular people are most extraordinary. Some of the females iossess rar beauty. We saw one, a girl of eighteen summers, whose deep lustrous eyes, raven hair, and rich olive complexion might have excited envy in the breast of many a city belle. She" was surpassingly beautiful. Indianapolis Citizen. Tha TrnstpM rvpMril Ktalo l'nivor. sitj made Dr. Daily an extra allowance of seven hundred dollars on accepting his resignation of the Presidency- of tbe College. The Philoinathean Society have in vited him to deliver the annual address be- ' fore them at the next commencement. BS? Three boys were recently put into jail at Calais, Maine, for breaking open a store. . The next morning one of them was found frozen to death in his cell.
