ator Fitch and Dr. W. F. Sherrod, Breckin ridge and Lane Elector for the Second District. On the stage were Major Johu Wesley Hughes, Charles Deuby, and G. W. McBride. Dr. Fitch led otl' iu a speech of a couple of hours long, of great earnestness aud liberal use of authorities. It was u ainly directed against the Artful Dodger, Douglas, aBd completely dissected him politically, in skillful style. The Republicans came in for a fair share of skinning, aud the Bel! partv occasionally received a touch of the Doctor s scalpel. Dr. Sherrod followed in a short speech, during which he gave the coup de grace to Donglasisui. Much applause was given during the course of the anatomizatioti by these two old school doctors, who so well understood their main business the exhibition of th loorbid condition of Douglasism.

F". Y. C." Again. In yesterday's Enquirer there is published a communication of Mr. F. Y . Carlile, in reply to some comments we made on au article of that gentleman's, inserted in the Enquirer on the 1st inst., entitled " Progress and lufluence of Mechanical Industry." To the la-t communication there is a preface, stating that said communication wns denied a place in this paper. The writer then proceeds to j:ive what he represents to he the substance of a conversation he had with the Elitor of this paper, when the communication was returned to him. Much of the language idat Mr. (.'. recites was used in the course of the conversation alluded to, but there wns other language used which really contained the spirit and true reat-on of the refusal, and which Mr. C. fails to give. When the communication was presented, we made tlie tollowinr offer : That we would publish the paper and others from the .tame pen, if the Enquirer would agree to .. .. . ......1 r .. -: .... v. i i.ii an i ij njii i. i, . i . ui luiuuiumui ' tious written by any Republican we might n editor9 f both ppe f "ue having the right to make such editorial . . , comments as tbey might see proper. To t luia 111. i.iii inc I rjniciA, n nil uiuiu iipjinicui I . : . u . i .. H...t:A.i n.:,i. , ; ... . . , surprise, that he had no control over the columns of the Enquirer, and had no power to enter into such an agreement. We replied that we aud others understood that he was one of the contributing editors of the Enquirer ; that he had been writing editorial articles fur that paper, aud was regarded a. one of its regular writers. Me deuied that he was one of the regular editors, and said he was only uu occasional contributor remarking that occasionally, if the editor of the Enquirer saw fit to endorse the views of i.ny of his articles, he preMajted t bem as editorial. A lengthy arguuieut on the position of parties ensued, during which we declined to puHish the article unless oil the conditions above mentioned, on the ground that Mr. Carlile had allied himself to the Douglas party, made common cause with it, and favored a coalition between the Dell and Douglas parties, for the purpose of fusing he two into one; that he bad made the lo1e o.e ir.enus o. me oeu-uougms co alilioti access to the columns of the Journal for the purpose of advancing their own party views, unless the Republicans bad the privilege of writing through the columns of the Enquirer for the same object. These were the reasons which prompted our rejection of Mr. C.'s communication. Mr. C. gives his readers the impression that he had before been refused the privilege of communicating with the public througb the Journal. This is incorrect. He has never written anything before for this paper that has not been published, since the present editor has bad control of its columns. When he returned from the South, early in the spring, he sought an introduction to the editors of the Enquirer for the purpose o' becoming a contributor to its columns, not even intimating to us any desire to write for our paper. He became in due course of time an editorial and anonymous contributor to that paper, and we had a very great deal of trouble in getting him to acknowledge himself as the writer of certain articles in 'in Enquirer. He deliberately chose that paper as bis organ, we suppose because its opinions coincided with hi3 party views nearer than those of the Journal. Xow it is nothing more than fair that he should confine himself to his appropriate medium of expression, while we do the they may throw their poisonous missiles at us and our comrades. Let them choose aud attain their own ground, our position is taken. Let them present their best arguments for the support of their cause; we shall do the same. Let there be a fair race, and defeat take the hindmost. Mr. C. can preseut his views through the paper with which he sympathizes the Enquirer, we make the Journal our medium. If the readers of our arguments can't see Mr. C.'s, neither cau the readers of the Enquirer see ours, unless they take botti papers. So there is no inequality unless one paper has more circulation tbau the other. If oor proposition had beeu accepted by the gentlemen favoring the Uell-Douglas coalition we should all have been on equal terms, aud a very interesting controversy might have lieen carried on. In a short time we shall take occasion to reply to Mr. Carlile's communication proper.

Tbe Father of Waters. A writer, referring to the rastne&i ot

the Mississippi river, says : It extends 2,100 miles, from Urn frozen regions of the North to the sunny South, and Arith the Missouri river is 4,50 miles in length. It would reach from New York across the Atlantic Ocean, or from France to Turkey and the Caspian Sea. Its average depth is f0 feet, and its width half a mile. The floods are more than a month : traveling from its source to its delta. The trappers can exchange the furs of animals caught by them on the Upper Mississippi for the tropical fruits gathered on the banks be:ow. The total value of steamers afloat on the river and its tributaries is more than $50,000,000, numbering 1,000 boats, with more than twice the steamboat tunnage of England. It drains au area of 1,200,000 square miles, and washes the shores of ; twelve powerful States. In one single reservoir at Lake Pepin, between Wisconsin and Minnesota, 2,000 miles from the sea, the navies of the world might safely ride at anchor." Besides this immense arterv of commerce - i there are other mighty streams flowing into it the Ohio, the Missouri, and others on which the West is dependent for much of bet prosperity. If these rivers become ol -structed by bars, snags, or other impediments, not only our boatmen, but our whole people, suffer. These river3 are great Nalionil Highways. It is the duty of the General Government to see that they are kept open and in proper order for the purposes of navigation. It it j is not the duty of the government thus to provide for the safety and security of its people in Ufa and property, for what purpose was it formed ? Of all the pat i. os which aspire to the control of the Goverument,the fiepublu an parti in the only one which has pledged itstlf to ; provide for the Jmpruvemmlof Rivers andll.irbors! Boatmen--t iveriuen merchants whose iaterests depend in agreat degree on the se- ! curity of navigation mechauics who rely for your daily bread on the prosperity of the boating interests draymen, day laborers, warehousemen all concerned in this great interest, remember the above fact, and acton it in making your choice of tiie party which is tj control the government for ihe next four years. Let us see the planks in the respective platforms ou this subject: The Bell-Everett party, as it does every other great question, shirks any expression, for or against. You can't tell how it stands in relation to the Improvement of Rivers and Harbors. Both the Democratic factious re-attirmed the Cincinnati Platform at their last National Conventions. Here is what that platform saya ou the subject under consideration : " 2. That tiie Coustitutiou does not confer upon the General Government the power to commence and carry ou a general system of internal improvement;. " It dou't 7 A'bere then does the power exist ? Surely there must be some power to do this necessary work. The States can't do it. A few boatmcucau't undertake such au enormous expenditure for the good of others as much as themselves. The Democracy have never hesitated to vote appropriations for Eastern and Southern lighthouses, breakwaters, lieacons, &c, but when they have been asked to exercise the same meed of ju.nice to the West, they have not done it, because the West was supposed to be poor and weak, with comparatively few votes to give. Now the East and South are pretty well supplied with these thitigs, and the Democracy have discovered that it is unconstitutional to vote appropriations when the West is to reap her share of the benefits. Her rivers are permitted to become graveyards for human beings and floods of destruction for merchandise, and the Democratic party denies her any remedy I And still it has the elfrontery to appeal to persons having interests connected with river business for their votes. Here is the pledge which the Republican party solemnly gave at Philadelphia, and which it reiterated at Chicago. Read it mid mark the contrast. " That appropriations by Congress for River and Harbor improvements ot a National character, required for the accomodation and security of an existing commerce, are authorized by the Constitution, and justified by the obligation of Government to protect the lives aud property of itcitizens." There is the old Whig doctrine that Clayfought for. That doctrine is re-asserted by the Republican party, made up of old Whios and honest Democrats who see the justice of the measure. No other party but the Republican, takes this bold and generous ground. If it comes into power, no petty conslitutioual scruples will prevent it from doing its whole duty to our whole people. Voters of Southern Indiaua.who are deeply vitally interested in this question, do not allow the absurd and uufounded cries of " nigger equality " and " abolitionism," so coustautly made use of by the Democracy becau.ie they can say nothing else, bliud you to the real principles of the contest, and prejudice you against a party the whole aim o" which is the promotion of the best interests of tbe people of the entire Cniou. Elkhohn Mill. The New Elkhorn Mill is now almost completed, and in a few days the proprietors will apply steam, and tile whistle so long familiar to us wiil again ha beard, and as the sound shall reverberate, it will waru the toiling man of eve's approach when be may rest and repose. The building is u fine one, giving evidence of tbe good taste and workmanship displayed in its construction ; and, as it now stands, is an indispensable acquisition to onr community and surrounding country. -Boonville Democrat. This is tbe mill of the Messrs. Hudspeth, we believe, that was burned last spring.

Canal Meeting. EVANSVILLE, Sept. 5th, 1860. Pursuant to a notice, a meeting of the stockholders of the Southern Canal Company, was held at the Court House, as above; when, on motion of M. W. Foster, Esq., Mr. R. Baldwin of Francisco was called to the Chair, and W. M. Aikman chosen Secretary. George Foster, Esq., having been appointed by the Managers to make an examination of the Canal, made the following report: <To the Stockholders of the Southern Canal Company>: At a meeting of the Board ot managers held at the Canal office in this city, Aug. 15th, 1860, it was ordered that a meeting of the Stockholders of the Southern Canal Company be called for Sept. 5th inst., for the purpose of obtaining an expression of their wishes regarding the future management of the Canal; and to enable them to form a better opinion of the condition of the work, the undersigned was appointed to make a personal examination of the Canal from Evansville to Newberry, in company with the Superintendent, Mr. T. D. Smyth, and report at that meeting an estimate of the cost of the work necessary to put the canal in navigable order. Having performed that service I would respectfully beg leave to submit the following: That on the 23d of August we commenced an examination. We found a full supply of water from Evansville to Port Gibson, a distance of 31 miles, at which place the Canal is supplied with water by the Pigeon Reservoir. To this point we found the banks generally good and comparatively free from breaks. The locks and the aqueduct on Big Creek will need repairing. A waste weir is [sic] needs fixing on the second level below the feeder, and some work must be done at the Reservoir. The Bridges are general

ly in good order for present uses except the two nearest the city. Beyond Port Gibson to Maysville there is no water. The Canal was greatly damaged by the storm in June, in the neighborhood of Francisco, and here we find frequent breaches from the ditches about the summit, and much earth washed in. The Patoka aquaduct is very dangerous. It may be repaired to stand sometime at the estimates we make, but we regard it as uncertain, and about the worst place on the line. We I would not recommend much expenditure here as it can not be done to any advantage, the entire structure will have to be rebuilt, shortly. We find some banks at Hosmer to be repaired, and the Patoka summit will need some cleaning. The bluffs above Petersburg have slid into the canal in some places, and have reduced the size so much that a sufficiency of water will not pass to supply the Canal below. These places will have to be removed. The acqueduct [sic]at White river will need some repairs, and when completed will be comparatively secure. The superintendent has expended on this structure, during early summer, about $1,500, which has done it much good. A break occurred at the culvert above Maysville, which will have to be repaired. Beyond this place the Canal is in comparatively good order, with the exception of a few bars, which can be removed at a small expense. We find the dam at Newberry lookiug well; the abutments but little worse than for sometime past. The bridges from Port Gibson to Hosmer are in passable order, but beyond, with one or two exceptions, they are dangerous. In making estimates for necessary work we do include bridges; as long as they stand they must do. It will be entirely beyond the means of the company to rebuild them. The locks are in bad order, but we think—at our estimate— they will last a year or so longer. The estimate, for the work necessary to put the Canal in navigable order include, only those most pressing. Other work is needed, which can be done by the boat force, at a small expense, after navigation is resumed, and which we estimate can be more than paid for from tolls and other resources of the Canal.

The estimate of the necessary repairs required to place the Canal iu immediate navigable order is $2,850.00—which leaves a deficiency of $1,807.00, which amount must be raised by additional subscription. Judge Foster offered the following resolution. <Resolved>, That the Managers of the Southern Division of the Wabash and Erie Canal proceed, without delay, to collect all delinquency and stock uncalled for, and at the same time solicit additional stock or donations, to put the Canal in repair in accordance with the estimate here submitted, and that they be empowered to appoint, at the different points on the Canal, assisting committees to solicit further subscriptions for this purpose; which was adopted. On motion, that the editors of the city papers, and the papers at Boonville, Princeton, Petersburgh, Washington, Bloomfield, and Worthington, be requested to copy the proceedings of this meeting. On motion, that the meeting adjourn to Wednesday, October l0th, 1860, for the purpose of electing managers for the ensuing year. R. BALDWIN, Pres't. W. M. AIKMAN, Sec'y.

NEWS BY TELEGRAPH. BT THE E. W. LINE. Exclusively for the Journal. Lansing, Mich., September i.th. The progress of Gov. Seward and party from Detroit yesterday was a couliuual ovation. ! On arrival of the train at the different stations on the Detroit and Milwaukio R. U., crowds of people turned out to greet the dis- , tlnguisbed Senator. At Owasso, where the party dined, his arrival was annouoceu by the firing of cannou and o'her demonstrations, and tbe citizens turned out almost j en masse to do him honor. Addresses of welcome were made, to which both Seward : and Nye responded. At St. Johns, from whence the party proceeded in carriages, . they were met by a deputation from this ' city, and when within eight miles of Lanaing, by a cavalcade of mounted Wide Awakes, and a large number of citizens, ' under whose escort they arrived hera in ttie afternoon, and were formally received by tbe Mayor in an address of welcome, to which Gov. Seward respoaded. Notwitustanding the uupropitious state of tbe , weather, the flow of people from the surrounding couutry was unprecedented. i Delegations in wagons and on horseback have been puring in by every avanue from ' an early hour, un'il the streets weio blocked and the ferry overwhelmed.

She wears shorter and mora vivid petticoats, smaller hats, brighter feathers, boots with higher heels, and more plentifully decorated with little brass riugs than those of her slower contemporaries, and piques herself on 'reading anything.'
