EVANSVIL.I.E. IND. . FSIDAY MORNING DECEMBER. 2

READING matter. on page:. EVERY fiST'Messrs. Gkobge Hill and Joskph Partbidgb will accept our thanks for. late St. Louis and Indianapolis papers. The Kewi. A large and enthusiastic meeting of the Opposition was held in the Court House of St. Louia on Wednesday night Delegates were appointed to the State Convention, which meets at Jefferson City on the 28th instant. The committee on resolutions reported one, nominating the Hon. Edward Bates for President ; one waiving all differences of opinion in favor of that gentleman, and one stating the great and leading object to be the expulsion of the Democratic party from the control of the Federal and State governments. The Laporte Herald says that a Mr. Warner, of Rolling Prairie, who has long been in poor health, got out ol bed last week while his wife was getting breakfast, and cut his throat with a razor. He inflicted six gashes, one of which severed the jugular vein. No hopes of his recovery are entertained. It was supposed that hi3 long sickness had so worked upon his mind as to craze him. The Democratic State Central Committee held a meeting on Tuesday evening last, at Indianapolis. On motion of John L. Robinson, it was determined to hold the State Convention on Wednesday, the 11th of January, in the Metropolitan Theatre. It wa3 also determined on having the Convention a delegate Convention, for fear a mass Convention wonld prove too unmanageable, we presume. No more appropriate place could have been selected than the theatre, and we anticipate the boys in, the pit will witness scenes that will rival, in interest, those depicted by Shakspeare. The Washington correspondent of the New York Tribune says the Hon. John G. Davis, of Indiana, has signified distinctly that ho will not vote for a Republican for Speaker, or for any other office, ne desires to support Haskin, who is unwilling to run. The same writer says Judge Douglas has caused his anti-Lecompton friends to be in formed that he desires them to go into the Democratic caucus, and in any event to op pose any combination with the Republicans. Mr. Morris, of Illinois, is said to be undecided about following this advice. TheCharlestown correepondentof the New York Tribune gives the following account of the disposition of the insurgents killed at Harper's Ferry: "The colonel in charge at Harper's Ferry tells me that the bodies were all hurriedly and loosely thrown into the ground, but were exhumed the same night and carried away for dissectioa in a medical college in a town not far distant Winchester, I believe. I understood from the manner of his speaking that this dispo sition of the bodies was not objected to by the authoritic-3, but wa3 readily favored by them." Sixty shares of stock in the Indianapolis Rolling Mill are to be sold in that city on the 10th of December. The Louisvillle Courier says one of John Brown's escaped insurgents was arrested in that city on Sunday last. He gave his name as Wm. Lloyd. The Cincinnati Gazette says it fears that the union and persistance of the Republicans, which is so essential to success in the election of Sneaker, will be found want ing. The Opposition party in Virginia are holding conventions in every county, ap pointing delegates, and passing resolutions John Minor Botts seems to be the favorite for the Presidency in that region. The Saratogian, speaking of Prof. YoU' man's new scientific lecture " The Masque rade of the Elements says that " his novel subject was not only handled with marked power, but in a very attractive form for the popular taste. The effort through out was masterly in thought and diction, and some of the passages were among the finest we ever heard from a lecturer 8 lips. This is the same lecture the Professor will deliver in our city. A gentlemanly appearing man, about six feet high, with black hair and heavy whis kers, professing to be a horse buyer, succeed ed in passing in Mansheld, Ohio, on Friday last, a number of fifty and one hundred dollar bills on the Philadelphia Bank. The family of Mr. John Bertholf, of East Haikensack, Bergen county, New Jersey, were poisoned on last Saturday. Their negro servant put arsenic in their coffee. Fortunately the dose was so large ns to defeat the purpose of the poisoner. She was arrested. A new comic paper to bo called Yaity Fair, is shortly to make its appearance in New York. igf The article in the Enquirer'oi Wednesday eveuing, which sets forth an alleged deficiency in regard to our manufacturing enterprises, and draws a comparison between Evansville and Cannelton, or Mound City though doubtless emanating from a good will toward the jUace, and a desire to en hance that department of our domestic economy is, nevertheless, calculated to create an unfavorable impression abroad. For it may be set down as pretty well established, that when an inland town of twenty-five or thirty years' growth, in a country, the resources of which are at least all known, nnd yet ha3 attracted no manufacturing enterprise, unless it possess extraordinary commercial advantages, such as will make it a centrepot of trade, beyond all competition, there must be but very little to attract the capitalist, and but little hope of obtaining anything beyond mediocrity in point of size or general importance; and, as the statements contained in that article are not in accordance with the facts as they exist, we would be dereli?t in our duty should it be suffered to pass' without correction. The fact is, no other city west of Cincinnati exhibits as great a degree of energy, in proportion to

Its size, in building up a system of mann factares, and in making use of the material and advantages provided by nature, as does ; our own Evansville. Though, until within the last four or five years, retarded by the ; incubi of. non-resident speculators, who held the best portions of the town as if they j expected that some day the very ground 1 would turn into gold, since she has got rid of j those encumbrances, she has far exceeded in J the rapidity of her growth and the increase j of her manufacturing establishments the i

most sanguine expectations of those who have had her interest at heart. Three years ago, the number of steam engines working in our city was short of 30 ; at the present day, there can be counted sixty of these industrious genii of labor. And our manufacturing establishments are on a scale by no means insignificant. Of the foundries and machine shops, seven in number including the small brass foundry of Fisher k Bolus, the concern of Kratz & Ileilman employ constantly from one hundred to one hundred and twenty hands, and surpasses in every point of view, any similar establishment in Louisville. The foundry of Roelker & Klusman, and the machine shop and foundry of Reitz & Ilaney, each employ about fifty hands, and are first class concerns, but we can not undertake to allude specially to the numerous manufactures, right here within our corporate limits ; we only mention the above as fair samples of our mechanical enterprise. Paper mills, rolling mills, and mills of every description, keep their busy wheels at work, and all, all are making money. True, we hare as yet no overgrown cot ton factories. Neither have Cincinnati, St. Louis, or Louisville any to speak of. A single cotton factory, with its adjuncts, composes Cannelton, and as for Mound City surely our neighbor must have meant a joke. There is not much to be gained by continually puffing a place. Cities grow up spontaneously wherever nature has laid out the plot, and prepared magazines of wealth, and these resources will all be duly devel oped. What Evansville is doing, is patent to everybody, and he who complains of tardiness in her commercial or manufacturing progress, is entirely too fist for the present age. EaT"A Republican of New York City writing to the Cincinnati Gazette urges the nomination of John Minor Bolts for the Presidency by his party. The reasons assigesd are, that Mr. Bolts has always been an cat nest opponent of tho slavery propaganding schemes of the South ; he stood side by side w ith John Quincy Adams in the old man's noble efforts in favor of the right of petition : he spurned emoluments and power when the Whig party was be trayed; he opposed the Kansas-Nebraska bill, thereby bringing down upon his head the scorn of the united South; he denounced, bitterly, the cowardly assault upon Senator Sumner ; and lastly, he is the most available candidate the Republins can select. The Gazette does not indorse its correspondent's views. .The Gazette, we take it, prefers a man . that has been identified with the Republican party since its organization. Who that man can be that will run with any hopes of Buccess is a mystery to us. CfifThe New Albany Tribune complains that since the change of time on tho Jeffersonville Railroad, a few days since, the mails from the North and East have been thrown into some disorder. Last night the Eastern mail failed entirely. Indianapolis exchanges do not come to hand until two days old. 'Delays iu our newspaper mails havo been with us a permanent annoyance. We have received our New York news by way of St. Louis so long, that w e almost begin to fancy the East has been removed beyond the Mississippi. But it's' all right, neighbor, nothing like getting used to a thing. From tlin Cincinnati Gattte. "Washington Items. Governor Wise has issued the following proclamation : Whereas, I have called forth part of the military of the State to suppress combinations to obstruct the due execution of the laws thereof, in the ordinary course of proceeding, iu the county of Jefferson, and may have to call for an additional force for that end, and am invested with authority by law to issue such orders, and take such meas ures for procuring and transporting detach ments as shall seem best, and have appoint ed I. Lucius Davis Acting Quartermaster and Commissary General for the troops un der uen. laliaterro, and assistant to Adjutant General here, for the accommodation, equipment and support of detachments on arrival. Now, therefore, all persons are notified that trains of the Winchester and Potomac Railroad Company are placed under the or ders of acting Quartermaster and Commissary General Davis, for impressment, on the 1st, 2d, and Sdjof December next. He will. under the orders or alaj. Gen. Taliaferro, guard those trains, for the use and occupation of Virginia troops alone, and permit no other transportation but for them. And the citizens of this Commonwealth are warned to remain at home, and on gpard or patrol duty on the 2d of December, and ab stain from going to Charlcstown. Orders are issued to prevent women and children : and strangers are hereby cautioned that there w ill be danger to them in approaching that place, or near it, on that day. If deemed necessary, martial law will be proclaimed and entorced. , " Given under my hand as Governor, and with the seal of the Commonwealth, at Kicnmona, tois Z8th day of November, 1859, and in the 84th year of the Common wealth. (Signed) Henry A. Wias. It is reported to-day, that Stokes, of Ten nessee, and Boteler, of Virginia, have revsolved, after throwing away their votes on one or two ballots, to vote for the Demo cratic candidate for Speaker. This is not unexpected. Boteler represents the Harper's Ferry Di trict, which is Democratic, and he wants to conciliate the public sentiment there. Stokes is pretty much in the same situa tion, with Harris, Davis, Gilmer, Etheridge, and a tew anti-lecomptonues, like Hick man and Schwartz, in the Opposition. An. organization can, in all probability, be ef-

=======

fected in spite of the impracticables. Should Mr. Sherman not go through, a rally may b made on Corwin. The latest Democratic programme is Bocock tor Speaker, Allen for Clerk,' and Banks, of Cincinnati,- for Printer." " """ The State, Douglas' organ, strongly backs up Bocock. This is regarded as the J strongest combination thai, party can bring. , Senor Mator credits Doblado's reported defeat, but has not Teceived confirmatory advices. It is believed that the Nicaragua route will not be opened, as Yanderbilt has bought up the Pacific Company. We have a later statement, to the effect that Boteler has determined, while opposing the Republican candidate, not to vote for the Democratic one, and that Vance, of North Carolina, has indicated a similar determination. It is so near the election that speculations now are useless. ' The impression gains ground that there will be a full, free, and dispassionate conference of the Opposition, at which everything will be quietly settled and arranged. It is said that the President, imitating his former example, will, in case of a long contest for Speaker of the House, send in his message . . i r. . 1 ii O io me nenaie, so as not xo seep iuu oeuaw waiting. The annual statement of Mr. Cobb, which is not yet completed, will, I think, show the neceisity of a return to a higher tariff, as the present one does not and cannot yield a sufficient revenue. The President will strongly urge, in his message, immediate measures for the relief of the Post Office Department. The statement that the i rench had commenced hostile operations against Mexico is a canard. Vallandingham, of Ohio, is here, and says all the Ohio men will be at their po3ts on Monday next. Of course they sustain he regular candidates throu ghout. The Statet and Union newspape whoso efforts to excite a mob to destroy the National Era and Washington Republic newspapers, are known to our readers, has been directing its energies in another channel, and seemingly with better success. Its read appeals to the prejudices of the sland ers in Washington, have been the cause of exciting discussions, in one of which, a Dr. Bread, formerly an examiner in the Patent Office, gave utterance to language which the Stall's termed "incendiary," and meriting arrest. The Dr. was arraigned before Justice Donn, and required to give security in the sum of two thousand dollars to keep the peace. This is a decided intimation to men of free soil proclivities, that Washington City, the Capitol of the nation, and supported in a great measure by the free States, is not the proper place for them to xpress their opinions in regard to the insti.ntion of Slavery. Whatever they may thiuk, their lips must preserve silence, Jest something may escape them that will prove " incendiary." A Dutchman chastised his boy for using profane language, and the boy retired to a corner to brood over the. indignity he had suffered. "Shon, what dat you say?" ex claimed the old man, indignantly eyeing bis pouting son. "I didn't say nothing." " Well, if you didn't say noting, you tinks damn, and I whip you for dat," anl the un lucky juvenile catches it a second time. Our Southern friends seem animated with the spirit of the old Dutchman, and are imputing sentiments to the Northerners, wheth er they be expressed or not. We expect, soon, to hear of the arrest of some poor ge nius, on the charge of " thinking incendl arism." Seriously, affairs arc culminating rapidly, when a man in Washington City the cap ital of the freest nation on the face of God's green earth, as our Fourth of July orators eloquently term it is arrested for express ing an opiniou'with reference to any department of our Government, or any of our institutions domestic or otherwise. ' The excesses of the Virginians are overlooked They are in a state of great excitement, and not without reason. But when these ex cesses are carried to the national capital, and men are deprived of the liberty of speech, we think, with Attorney McDonald, it is time that the capital is moved on to free soil. SfsJ" To-day, John Brown pays the pen alty of his crimes against the Common wealth of Vireinia, with his life. That he is prepared to do this with dignity and calmness, no one who is acquainted with the history of the man will deny. That he thinks be dies a martyr to a glorious cause, is equally certain. He undoubtedly believes that his blood will be the seed of the cause for which he so freely sheds it, and will step upon the scaffold the calmest man of all the vast crowd who will witness his execution. Death, to him, will be no punishment nor will his untimely end prove any antidote against similar undertakings. The same elements that make up the character of John Brown, will work out the same re sults, and cause the same hair-brained un dertakings by any individual in whom they may chance again to unite. Fanatical . orators, like Phillips, Garrison, and others, who preach what they lack the courage to practice, we fear will make Brown's execution a text from which to deliver sermons that will stir up other Browns to more rash undertakings than that of Harper's Ferry. This is to be regretted by every lover of his country, but it is much easier to mourn over the difficulty than suggest a remedy. He who will be able to devise some means by which the dread question that is now baking the country from center to circumference may be solved, in a manner satisfactory to all concerned, will merit and receive the title of the saviour of his country in her extremest perils Sad Accident. Yesterday, a little boy, aged about seven years, son of F. P. Randall, of this city, fell into the cistern in the yard of his father's residence, and was drowned. The child was alone at the time of the accident, and was not rescued for an hour or so afterwards. When found, life was extinct. This is the third child that death has claimed from that afflicted family during the past tea months. Fort Wayne Republican, Nov. 29th

BS?- The decision of the judges of the St. Louis Fair, awarding the first prize to Revenue in preference to Lexington, has created some dissatisfaction among the lovers of Lexington, and several matches between the blood of these two will probably

grow out of this feeling. A gentleman in Lexington, Ky., whose name will be forth coining at the proper time, proposes to name the get of Lexington to beat the getot Revenue, for 2,500 a side, half forfeit, to name at the post, either mile or two mile heats to be run over the Metairie Course at New Orleans during the April meeting of 1860, or over the Woodland Course at Louisville during the Spring Meeting of the same year. BSF" The following is an alarming evidence of the progress of the photographic art : A lady, last week, had her likeness taken by a photographist, a id he executed it so well that her husband prefers it to the original. 8SF The Washington States still continues to hint that the mobbing of the offices of the National Era and Republican in that city would be a praiseworthy act. It does not say so openly, but its cry is, " here's a horse, pond, boys but don't duck him." Lou. Jour. Do Yon Know why You Wixk. The Boston Evening Gazette thus learnedly replies to this query : "The contact of the air with the eye causes a loss of temperature by evaporation, and the sensation caused by the dryness ur gently insisting on being remedied, we wink. 3-The New York Tribune says that New York is as certain to cast her electoral vote for the Republican candidate for President in 1860, as Vermont. No sane man can doubt it. BgThe Nebraska papers have Judge Douglas dead, and Mrs. D. past recovery. The Nebraskians are too fast. Douglas won't die until the Charleston Convention meets. Spirited Resolctioks of tjib Yocng La dies. We published last weeK tne commu nication of a young lady giving a synopsis of the proceedings of a number of young ladies of the town, and we see by the lust Legion that another meeting has been held in a different part of the town, in which additional grievances are set forth and far ther resolves adopted, among which are the following: Resolved, That not one of us will attend the coming ball, etc., of the Sons of .Malta, unless we can be accompanied by a gallant who is a gentleman one who will not dis grace U3 by becoming intoxicated while in attendance, or who mar carry fire arms about his person. Resolved, That the habit of profane swearing is not only exceedingly sinful, but a foolish practice, and that we greatly pre fer staving at home than to be waited upon by such gallants as cannot converse without taking the name of God in vain. Ml, Sterling Whig. These young ladies are moving in the right direction, and if they abide by their resolutions, a decided improvement will soon manifest itself in the conduct of the youug men of that place. We have some. times thought that drunkenness and licen tiousness were passports to the favor of young ladies, who we have seen laugh over a narration of some scene of debauchery, as it was told by an unblushing debauchee, with great glee and satisfaction. Let the ladiei frown on every ungentlemanly act of the other sex, and its reform will be speedy and complete. fix-President Buchanan, July 7, 1341, then a United States Senator, spoke as fol lows on the Bank question. If the Presi dent was a Senator now, the Dred Scott decision would be held bv him as of no more binding force than a rope of sand : " Now, if it were not unparliamentary language, and if I did not desire to treat all my friends ou this Whig side of the House with the respect which 1 feel for them I would say that the idea of the question havirjg been settled so as to bind the con sciences of members of Congress when voting on the present bill is ridiculous and absurd. " If all the Judges and all the lawyers in Christendom bad decided in the affirmative, when the question is thus brought home to one as a legislator, bound to vote for or against a new charter, upon oath to sup port the Constitution, J must exercise my own judgment. I would treat with profound respect the arguments and opinions of Judges and constitutional lawyers : but if, after all, they fail to convince me that the law was constitutional, I should be guilty of perjury before high Heaven if I voted in its favor. "But even if the judiciary had settled the question, I should never hold myself bound by their decision while acting in a legisla tive character. Unlike the Senator from Massachusetts, (Mr. Bates,) shall never consent to place the liberties of the people in the hands oj any judicial tribunal. " No man holds in higher esteem than I do the memory of Chief Justice Marshall ; but should never have consented to make even him the final arbiter between the Govern ment and the people of this country on ques tions of constitutional liberty. II. T. Sample & Sons have already slaughtered about seven hundred head of hogs thia season, and commenced anew this morning. The new packing house of Jas. H. Telford & Co. wi'l commence slaughtering in a day or two. Th weather continues favorable for feeding, and the low price of corn will induce holders to put as much of it into pork as possible. The ruling price in this market is $5 per hundred for hogs. We hear of one sale at $5 15. Laf. Courier, 29. Wheat and Pons at Bloomingtox, Isd. -The Bloomington Republican of last Friday, says: Wheat has been selling in our market, during the past week, at $1 per bushel.
