EVANSVILLE, IND.

TUESDAY MORNING................. APRIL 12 ======= Shall the Canal Project be a Failure? Yesterday intelligence reached the city that a break had occurred in the canal, near Gondola, that will necessarily suspend canal navigation for some time. We are told that this break could have been prevented by a small expenditure, made at the proper time. But there were neither funds nor authority to make the repairs at the proper time, and the consequence is, that now several hundred dollars will be required to mend the break. We are informed that the managers— discouraged by their ill success in raising subscriptions below Main street, where they expected the most cordial and liberal cooperation on the part of the merchants— feel very much like giving up their trust, and leaving the city and canal to the course of events and the inevitable results of the policy which seems to have been adopted by a portion of our citizens. We learn that no repairs will be attempted till the full amount of the subscription that has been apportioned to this city is raised. If the attempt to resuscitate the canal is to be a failure, let the miscarriage be speedy and complete, and let the responsibility and disgrace of the failure be fixed at once upon those whose selfish and narrow views brings the calamity and discredit upon the community. A little village of coal miners and factory operatives in a neighboring county, with not a man among them worth $10,000, has recently raised, in a few days, a contribution of $4,000 to secure the removal of a court house to their town, and in the same week contributed between $1,500 and $3,000 to help erect a church, making a voluntary contribution of nearly $7,000 paid up by a small community of laboring men in one month, for objects of comparatively small importance to them; while the city of Evnnsville, with a population of 17,000, her merchants and property owners displaying wealth of hundreds of thousands of dollars each, cannot without importunate soliciting and wearisome dragooning raise the paltry sum of $12,000 to save one one of the most important avenues of her trade from ruin; the contrast is us painful as it is humiliating. If the canal goes down, the subscription books will tell, in future, where the blame must justly be laid. Let them be preserved as a record of the liberality and public spirit of the men whose names they contain, while their blank leaves will be a lasting reproach to those whose names should have filled them. ———<>——— The New. The report that Mrs. Härtung, the murderess, was deranged, and had been sent to the Auburn, N. Y, Insane Asytum, turns out to be an extra sharp attempt on the part of the Syracuse Journal to April-fool somebody. It was rather a small business for a paper of the standing of. the Journal to be engaged in. Several meetings have been held in Fan nin and adjacent counties, Texas, for the purpose of taking measures to expel the Methodists belonglng.to the Northern wing of that church. A committee of fifty wait ed on Bishop Janes, on a Sunday, while he was officiating, and warned him to desist. Lord Lyons, the British Minister sent to take the place of Lord Napier, was to have been introduced to the President yesterday. Thecorrespondentof the Gazette says Napier will leave Washington " with small regrets auJ less reputation." The anti-Lecomptou Democrats do not intend, it is stated, to nominate candidates at the convention to assemble at Harrisbnrg, on the I3t!t it;5.t., but pimply to embody their wnt'tiiienU in opposition to the platform of the Administration. The Postmaster-General invites bids for carrying t!ie mails from New York and Now Orleans to San Francisco, from October next to the following June. After they ave made, he will decide which route offers the Lest inducements. Thirty thousand people assembled in Baltimore to witness the execution of the four men on the 8th hist. Three of the criminals denied their guilt to the last. One acknowledged the crime for which he suffered. .As the crowd were returning home from the execution, some rowdies, without any provocation, struc k a countryman with a slungstiol, from the effects of which he died. iMce place, that Baltimore ! The Cabinet Makers" strike, in Cincinnati, lias about come to a close, by the journeymen abandoning some of-their demands and the employers conceding others. It is "thought all the shops will be in active operation in a few days. A State Convention of Sabbath Schools is to be held in Cincinnati on the 11th and 12th of May. A woman was arretted in Cincinnati, oi? Friday, for calling at the Express Office for a package of counterfeit money. Upon examining the package it was found to contain about S2.000 in counterfeit bills, upon various banks, some of which were very well executed. The money consisted of the I following notes: A package of $20' a on j the Ii. ink of Missouri, payable at Fayettc, datd May 21, 185S -very finely executed; Sjs- and $10 a on the Chippewa Bank, at Pepin, Wisconsin, dater? November, .'3 on the Hartley Falln Bank, hi Holyoke, Mass., an old counterfeit ; $3"s oa the Merchants' Bank of Norwich, Conn.; 'ti s on the MerchauU' Bank of New Haven, Conn., dated April 12, 1857; and $3's on the National Bank of Equality, II!., dated August 12, 1357. Some portion of the bills were badly executed, and would not be apt to deceive any ordinary jude of money. A raward of ?1,000 has been offered for the arrest of Cadwallader Wal-

lace, who killed, a few months since, a young man named Godfry, by shootiug bini with a pistol; in open 9ay, and on the principal street of Cchillcothe. " Wallace escaped from jail on Wednesday night last, under circumstances that create a suspicion that the Deputy SherifT was bribed. A forger and common thief escaped with the murderer. A religious denomination of Cincinnati have engaged Pike's Opera House for religious services Sunday afternoons, and the first sermon will be delivered soon af

ter the close of the Opera Troupe's engagement. Communicate To the Representatives of Knox and Olbson Counties. We put the following pregnant interrogatories of a correspondent to the Representa tives of Knox and Gibson counties, in the last Legislature, and ask their constituents " to pause " for their replies, or note their silence if they respond not : Mr. Editor : You refer to the votes in the General Assembly on the bill providing for a geological survey, in which the South western portion of the State has so deep an interest. Will you ask Messrs. Eastham, of Knox ; Usrey, of Sullivan ; and Woods, of Gibson, why they voted against it, and whether it was not because the Governor did not have the appointing power under it ? In other words, did they not prefer that the survey should not be made if political patronage and spoils of office did not enure to the benefit of the head of their party? These same gentleman seem to have been the unflinching supporters of the perquisite system, by which the people have lost so many thousands of dollars, and all the benefits they might have derived from the mu nificent grant of one and a quarter millions of acres of land. The New Council. The new City Council was organized on Saturday evening last. Mayor Baker took his seat, and called the new council to order, and the following counoilmen appeared :. Z. H. Cook, First Ward. J. P. Elliott, Second Ward. Samuel Orr, Third Ward. John Smith Gaviti, Fourth Ward. George Wolflin, Fifth Ward. A. P. Hutcheson, Sixth Ward. Archibald Sullivan, Seventh Ward. Thos. Redmond, Eighth Ward. John Ivinson, Ninth Ward. Previous to proceeding to business, the Mayor made the following address to the Council: Gtntlemen of the Common Council : In taking the place assigned to me at your board this evening, I do not intend to detain you with anything like an elaborate address. I am, perhaps, not sufficiently acquainted with the duties of my office to make it either desirable or proper to do so. At the proper time, after having made my self acquainted with my duties, and with the condition and wants of the citv. I will submit my views in detail. With reference, however, io the general course of conduct which I have marked out for myself, I may remark that, 30 far as my authority and influence extend, they will be used to promote the following objects, viz. First. Economy in every department of expenditure. And, in order to promote this end, I will endeavor to become thoroughly acquainted with the present condition and wants of the city, so as to be able, at least, to recommend for your consideration such measures as I mav consider best calculated to promote economy and advance the pros perity of the city. Second. A strict accountability and alten tion to duty on the part of all city officers, appointed by, or acting under the direction or control of the Couucil. And, to secure this result, I will endeavor to become familiar with the duties of the citv officers respectively, and will, as occasion may seem to require, counsel and advise them, freely ana tranKiy, ana ty mi tue means in my power, aid them in the proper dicharire of their several duties. Third. I shall constantly urge upou your attention the necessity of equality of taxa tion. Fourth. The duty of preserving the peace and good order of the city. Intending thus to assume a supervision of municipal affairs as general ns my authority and influence under the charter and ordi nances ot the city may permit ana require, it is proper to add that I expect to be held to a strict accountability myself. 1 expect my official conduct to be severely criticised, and condemned or approved, as it may de serve. I shall certainly be guilty of many short-comings in matters of judgiueut, but promise you an earnest and coutinueUJefTort to avoid intentional errors. Let us enter upon the discharge of our respective duties, hoping that during the corporate year upon which we are just entering, our official intercourse may be mu tually agreeable, and that the good order and prosperity as the city may be materially promoted by the measures which you may adopt." gSäy" The people of Gibson begin to sus- ! pect that there has not been "Straight1' I doings the past ten years in tho financial af fair of the county. It is alleged that their Auditor in ten years, has supported a family on a salary of $350 to $700 per annum, and Uid up a fortune of $20,000. The Oibsonites don't fully understand how prolific a few dollars drawn from the county treasury can be made in creating a fortune. Perry, Vanderburgh, and other counties afford instance in proof that small salaries, well husbanded, with a key to the treasury often make men rapidly rich. There are many remarkable instance, among our public officers, of the extraordinary power of " rigid economy " iu the accumulation ef wealth. $sZg By authentic reports, it. appears that j tbe quantity 01 goto exported from Austral;a during the year 1338. exceeded one hnnd red tons.

A Revolution in Iron Smelting. An intelligent, practical iron manuufacturer, of Cincinnati, has addressed the following communication to Hamilton Smith, Esq., of Cannelton, upon the important change that is about to be adopted in smelting iron, and which is likely to have an important influence upon the prosperity of all localities upon the Ohio river contiguous to good coal mines. The quality of iron is vastly improved by the admixture of ores from different localities. This cannot bo done in furnaces built and dependent upon a single ore bed. Under the new plan of bringing the ore to the coal, all the various ores from the beds in Missouri, Tennessee, the upper Ohio, and Green river and Wabash Valleys could be brought to this point to be smelted, and an iron produced by their combined ores superior, perhaps, to any iron produced in the country. If the coal of our immediate vicinity was not so filled with pyrites, we might indulge the faltering prospect of seeing our city surrounded with glowing smelting furnaces, and our town one of the greatest seats of iron manufacture in the country. There are coals, however, on the line of the Canal, peculiarly adapted for smelting of iron, that can be delivered here almost as cheap as coal can be raised from our own mines, that may be the means should the Canal be kept up—of making Evansville a second Manchester. With good coal, we have local advantages for the business superior to Cannelton or any other place on the river.

The iron manufacture of the whole Ohio Valley from Pittsburg to Paducah, is on the eve of a great revolution, partly commenced and inevitable in its results. The essential features of this great change, is to move those rich ores on Lake Superior and in Missouri, to the coal beds of Eastern Ohio and Western Pennsylvania. This seems, at the first glance, to be a wild undertaking, but has been now thoroughly tested and found to be profitable, yielding a much higher profit than the use of the low per cent. iron ores of Ohio and Pennsylvania. At Youugtown, Ohio, they have been making iron in this way for sometime, and have made, with their dry coal, used raw in the furnace, a superior quality of pig iron and esteemed by some equal, and by others a preference is given to it over the best quality ot charcoal iron made from the native ores of these States. The Pittsburg iron interest is going into the enterprise of building blast furnaces at Pittsburg, and conveying the Lake Superier and Missouri ores to be reduced with Pittsburg coal. This is projected upon a large scale there with a heavy capital. There is a furnace being erected here for the purpose of using the Missouri ores and the Pittsburg stone coal. It is being erected by a rolling mill man on the Kentucky side of the river, opposite Cincinnati. Other owners of coal property along the Ohio river are contemplating building furnaces and transporting the Missouri ores. Ever since my visit to Cannelton, and an inspection of your coal, I have been satisfied that it was the most eligible and economical position for this business, on the waters of the Mississippi Valley: AS TO THE COST AND PROFITS. When in Pittsburg, about six weeks ago, the Pittsburg iron manufacturers expressed this opinion, that with this plan fully organized there, they would need no tariff against English or Scotch iron. The Missouri ore could be delivered at Cannelton for about $4 for the whole cost and expense, which I think is a very large estimate for towing and barges, &c., and allowing 1 3/4 tons, which is over the quantity by actual experiment, änd the cost to make a ton of pig iron is ..................... $7 00 Cannelton coal, with the per centage of carbon stated in your pamphlet, and allowing for waste in practical use, say 50 bushels of coal, will make one ton of pig (6c.)...........3 00 Limestone for flux necessary, ....say 1 00 And for labor and manufacturing, including all expense, per ton............. 4 00 Making the cost of one ton of pig iron $15 00. These estimates of quantity and prices are all, you will perceive, set down at very high figures, and I am satisfied with your coal, a very superior article of iron could be produced. One great advantage which your town will have in this business always, is the facility of obtaining the ore at all times, when the parties here and at Pittsburg will be frequently cut off by low water, the falls of the Ohio, the increased additional risk on insurance, and the necessity of less investment on raw material as stock on hand during the long periods of low water, or of ice in the Ohio. Another great advantage is the proximity of Cannelton for manufactured iron to the great Western markets, which all the manufacturers are struggling to reach by cheap routes. With blast furnaces, rolling-mills, and foundries at your place, you would be already a great city; and you have the same article to make them with you, that has made them at Pittsburg —the coal. In three years or less, you should have them all smoking around you, and a vast, busy throng of industrious toilers swarming through your extended streets. Upon examination, you will find these matters as I represent them, and having a leisure hour this Saturday evening, I got your pamphlet on Cannelton in my hand, and was so strongly impressed with the great importance of these thoughts, that I took the liberty to write them down and enclose them to you. Yours, very respectfully, X . ———<>——— GOOD DEMOCRATIC DOCTRINE.— Among other resolutions adopted at a recent Democratic Convention in Chesterfield county, Virginia, was the following: That we believe the Northern <doctrine of rotation in office, merely for the take of rotation, is a doctrine not only alien to our soil, but detrimental to our best interests;> that since the origin of our Government to reward the faithful, continue the efficient, and elevate the meritorious, has always been the settled policy of the South; that it is this policy which, in rewarding merit, benefits alike the giver and receiver; that to this is the South to a great extent indebted for the prominence of her statesmen in the Federal Councils, for that fearless fidelity with which they discharge their trust, upheld by a consciousness that a generous constituency will sustain and an appreciating people will reward them; therefore, <Resolved>, That, while we do not favor incumbency without merit, <the doctrine of rotation in office is a doctrine alien to our people, and to which, as Democrats, we are utterly and unalterably opposed>. ———<>——— ——>The betting men amongstthe Opposition in Louisville will not make wagers on the race of Magoffin and Bell, unless they have ten thousand votes given to them.

C3AKOE OF CtUMI'AL LAW IN ENGLAND. ierd Brougham has brought in a bill which provides that any person on trial for treason felony, or misdcmeanor.may offer himself as a witness in his own behalf, and his wife a.s well, in her husband's behalf. Such person must be sworn on the Holy Evangelists, and bejsubject to cross-examination. No. writing of such person will be receivable in evidence unless called for by the prosecutor. The most important . clause, however, is . that which withdraws from such prisoners protection from answering questions tendiHg to criminate. They may not refuse to answer any question on the ground that the answer may degrade them, or tend to show that they have been guilty of aiiy offense or misconduct. No answer, however, to such question will be admissible in evidence in any proceedings against the deponents, except in prosecutions for perjury assigned on such answers. Scotland is exempted from the operation of the bill.

THE SUBSCRIBER M desires to call the attention of the public to his improved Chair, Lathe and Tenoning Machine, which tar surpasses any machino hitherto invented in the quantity and quality of the work it will perform. This machine is calculated for turning Chair Stuff, Broom Handles, or any other description of parrable wood work. It will taper the wuds of Chair rails, round off the ends, and cut the tenons with the most entire accuracy, and is fully competent to turn SO dozen of chair rail per hour, and furnish smoothly all the work that passes through it. The only preparation necessary for the work to be done, is to split the stuff from the log, and pass it through the machine, and the various sized mandrils are adapted fer turning any diameter from a quarter of au inch upwards. . One of these machines is iu operation at the Fill ton Foundry anl Machine Shop, corner of Second and Curr streets, where it can be seen, and where a number have been manufactured. ALEX.
