DBEW- - Editor .Associate Eoitos A Ulichleroai Error. An error prevails in the minds of many of our citizens is regard to the object of the Indiana Legion. They seem to suspicion that there is a design which does not appear on the surface, to precipitate those who join the Legion into actual service in the war, before they ore aware of it, and without their consent. How so foolish an idea could become so prevalent we are at a loss to conceive. That it is entertained l;y numbers of oar citizens, is apparent to thoe who have interested themselves in the organization of companies for the regiment to be formed in this county. A more mischievous error never crept into onr midst, and it becomes every one interested in the defence of our city, and its preservation from any roving bands of marauders who, allured by the desire for plunder, might attack us if they ascertained our unprotected situation to use every effort to aradicate it. The law for the formation of the Indiana Legion is merely an efficient military law. The old military laws proved to be of no use whatever, the people paid no attention to them, and the commissions issued by the Governors brought ridicule rather than honupon those who accepted them. The au thors of the bill lor the formation of the Legion, desired to arouse a spirit of military pride, and emulation among the young men of the State, feeling assured that if they could succeed in this, our State would ever have a noble, well equipped and drilled volunteer soldiery ready to defend it in any emergency. The appropriation made to carry out the design of the law was a liberal one, and if received in the right kind of spirit, fully commensurate with the results sought to be accomplished by it. The formation of camps are a necessity to perfect our militia in the most delicate part of a soldier's duty. It is a well ascertained fact that more men die in camp than on the held ol battle, and vMeUhe toluuteers of every State trained to camp life, a3 well as in the manual of arms, wte would hear much less whining as to the manner in which they are treated by their government when in service, and far more efficiency in the discharge of their duties. The man who ia unwilling to spend a few days in the year in camp, in order to perfect himself in all that goes to make up an efficient soldier, is unworthy to be called an American citizen. Especially is he unworthy to be called a Hoosier, the proudest appellation that could be dishonored. 'But," says one, "if we join the Legion, we place ourselves absolutely under the control of the Governor, and are liable to be ordered at any moment, to march, we know not where." The Governor has power to call out the militia to defend the State, regardless of the Legion. Of course, if the Legion is formed, he would call on that first. He does not expect that organization to be composed of mean-spirited individuals who are willing to be soldiers in sunt i . - L. ajme Dut not in ftornx. Besides, the Governor has no more authority fo ordering the Legion out of the State than any other volunteer companies. Our part of the State is the only portion that is in the least exposed. If our State is ever invaded, Evansville will bear the brunt of the attack. It certainly comes with a poor grace from any of onr citizens, to urge such pusillanimous reasons for not joining the Legion. We feel.'mean in attempting to explain away such trivolous objections. We desire to see a regiment of the Legion formed in this county. We know the ma terial is abundant to fill two regiments. We desire to see Col. Blythe's regiment omposeo, o: men wno will not stop to hunt for the boundary lisa of their township connty or State, but of those who will be only anxious as to the whereabouts of the enemy. If our Union neighbors on the other side of the river were assaulted, we would expect the Vanderburgh Legion to be both ready and willing to march to their rescue. Onr city is not exempt from those who style themselves pre-eminently " peace men." These gentlemen, or some of them, at least, are most grievously tormented with the prospect that the Legion will be organized. They are emphatically for independent companies. A couple of months ago, when an effort wa3 made to organize a reg- j meni or battalion for the Legion, these busy bodies were quite active iu the organization ofjlndependent Companies. When they succeeded in thwarting the wishes of the friends of the Legion, aod prevented its formation, their zeal for independent Companies soon died out. tra : .1. -. c lual. now another elfort is being made to raise tbe retriment 'etimeQI, ' these same gentry are out again with thpir , r . ; K Delr plans for Independent Compan es. We have r K "cunve our eyes upon them. We have invariably I Mn

observed that they are those who ridicule every effort to place our city in a posture of defense. They may be seen on our street corners sneering at every expression of apprehension of danger, and laboring to paralyze the exertions of those who are desirous of placing our city on a war footing. In their anxiety to prevent the organization of the Legion, they may overstep the boundary of their usual precaution, and so unmask themselves: as to make their treachery, which is now only known to a few, apparent to ail. We trust the efforts of these gentlemen will prove fruitless, and that the Regiment will be formed in spi te of them. Startling Newi from Paducah A Fight Kxpected Yesterday! By the arrival of the steamer Curlew from below, we learn that the greatest excitement prevailed in Paducah last Tuesday, and a fight between our forces and the rebels was hourly anticipated. The Confederate troops, numbering 15,000 men, with a large number of cannon, were at Mayfield, fifteen miles from Paducah. A detachment of the rebels drove in our pickets Tuesday, three miles from the town, and at once Gens. Smith and Paine prepared for action, and the women and children began immediately to leave town. The Curlew was loaded down with passengers, and every kind of water- and land conveyance was called into requisition to carry the terrified inhabitants away from the city. A flatboat load of women and children was towed to the island above the city by the Curlew. The families of the commanding officers were also sent away. Just as the Curlew was leaving, the Aleck Scott from St. Louis arrived, covered with troops, composed mainly of artillery and cavalry. The steamery January was expected with reinforcements, and it was thought that by Tuesday night, onr forces would number 13,000 men. Onr men were all in good condition, well armed aad with plenty of ammunition, and will hold the town if it be posible. Our informant states that it was the intention of the Government troops to attack Columbus whenever Pillow attacked Paducah. We may be able in T?iis way to cut off Pillow's retreat, and rid Western Kentucky of the rebels. ,It was the intention of Gen. Smith, after his reinforcements arrived, to march out of the town and give the enemy battle. If our forces are obliged to retreat, they will probably be protected by the guns of the Tylor and Lexington, and the town will be ahi h1 burned. The gr. hi' . t uthnsi.-.sm prevailed among the troop?, and the Indiana 11th were ready to march after an hour's uotice, their tents and baggage packed and canteens filled. No fears were entertained rsa to the-result, though it was reported at Paducah that Pillow was also to be largely reinforced. We await further lws from Paducah with great anxiety. The defeat of our troops and the occupation of Paducah would give a new phnse to the campaign in the West. In view of the defenceless condition of Evansville, it would be well for those who have no time to assist in the formation of companies for the deferfce of their own families, to be up and doing. It is certainly no lime for those making pretensions to manhaod to be shirking from their known duty. The battles of the Republic are being fought within a day's journey of the city. Tomorrow or the next week the enemy may be at our doors. Let us be ready. ———<>——— TERRIBLE ACCIDENT ON THE O. & M. R. R. ——— One Hundred Killed and One Hundred and Fifty Wounded! ——— FULL PARTICULARS! In our telegraphic column will be found the announcement of a Railroad accident on the O. & M. Railroad. By passengers on last night's train we learn the following additional particulars: Last Tuesday evening, a train consisting of a locomotive, baggage car, and eight passenger coaches, containing 600 soldiers, members of the 19th Illinois Regiment, passed Vincennes, bound for Washington. They proceeded safely to a bridge over a small stream, fifty miles East of Vincennes. The locomotive and baggage car passed safely over the bridge, but when the full weight of the train came upon the structure it gave way, precipitating five cars into the stream.— The first car was completely submerged and all in the car, except three, numbering seventy-five souls, were at once ushered into eternity. The other cars were sadly smashed up, and it is a low estimate to state that one hundred were killed and one hundred and fifty wounded, many of them fatally. Hundreds of men were engaged in taking out the bodies of the dead, and the bank was lined with the corpses of the soldiers. The air was filled with the groans and cries of the wounded and suffering men and everything within the power of the survivors was done to alleviate the agony of the living. It has never been our painful duty to record a more terrible catastrophe within this State. The report that the bridge had been weakened by malicious men, is entirely without foundation. A careful examination of the broken timbers of the bridge showed conclusively that they were rotten and unsafe, and the terrible guilt of the disaster rests upon the heads of incompetent and reckless railroad managers, who have allowed the bridge to rot without being repaired or examined. By this sad accident we have lost nearly one-third of a gal- lant regiment. The intelligence of the loss of these men will carry untold woe and grief into hundreds of families in our sister State. It is very probable that had Col. Hovey 's orders not been unexpectedly countermanded, our own 24th regiment would have been the victims of this terrible catas- trope. We hope that the matter will be legally investigated, and the guilty parties severely punished for their criminal negligence.

(torrmpomdrtict of the LouimUh Journal.) A Singular Duel. Pabis, France, Aug. 29, 1861. Gentlemen : I herewith record you the particulars of the desperate duel fought this morning at 5 o'clock, on the Seine, between two Americans of note, one the Hon. F. G

rarquir 01 Virginia, ana tne other Uaptain C. Lee Moses of Sacco Maine, late TJ. S. astronomer &c. The particulars Of the affair are as fulT7" ; r vr - i . . lows : Uapt. Moses arrived here last even- 1 ing en route for Frankfort. Germanv he proceeded to a hotel to sojourn for the nisrht. and at about 11 o'clock Mr. Farquir was announced, inquiring for the Captain, and, on being presented, asked : " Do I see C. Lee Moses before me ?"' " Tou do, sir," was the ready response. " Then have I called to denounce you as a traitor, a coward, and a man of no honor.'' " In which you severally err," replied the Captain, " and, sir, if yon are here to institute a quarrel with me, let me tell you I am not your man ; for I will not, it possible to avoid it, have an altercation with yon." " Such," replied Farquir, " are the words of all cowards." " I would be alone," answered the Captain. " You are a traitor to the South, for she gave you birth," continued Farquir, "and a man of no honor, because you abandon her when she wants the services of all ber sons, particularly a man of your capacity as a seaman and navigator. Capt. M. now arose to quit the room, when F., in aloud voice, vociferated, " Coward ! you have abandoned the noblest race of people on earth and what else ? why, joined your fate and destiny to that abolitiondom where virtue was never yet known to exist, and where father cohabits with daughter and brother with sister J" Like a madman, the Captain flew at bis enemy, and, with one blow, laid him lifeless at his feet, at the same time shrieking, "Liar ! fiend ! hound of hell ! recall your words or the Crown of France will not save you ! New England's fair daughters arc not to be surpassed for virtue and integrity, fnd one is my icife I Recall your word3, or may God have mercy on you." The police was now introduced, and Farquir, recovering, wa3 taken care of by his friends. At about 1 o'clock in the morning the Captain was aroused to receive a note. Mons. Stephanie, who brought it, agreed either to procure a second or act as such himself, the Captain being a perfect stranger in PariJ. Stephanie, in the end, was second. He is my informant, and gives me the fullest particulars of the meeting. He has become, he says, quite a friend of the brave little Captain. Mons. Stephanie resides out of Paris, and became acquainted with Farquir some two months since at a gaming table in Paris. On the duelling ground Farquir boasted of his being able to kill the traitor Captain. His face was much swollen. Moses, on the other hand, was very thoughtful, but not cowardly. Once he exclaimed aloud, "My God! my God.' let not ray hands take life." The seconds being ready, Capt. Moses handed two letters to his seconds, one directed to Hon. Freeman H. Morse, U. S. Consul, London, and the other to his wife at Sacco, Maine. He then removed his coat, and, bandaging his hair from his eyes so as to prevent detraction of sight, turned his back to the party, raised his bands in -prayer for a moment, after which he drew a miniature from his breast which he kissed vehemently many times, exclaiming, in a choked voice: "My sweet wife, my noble Josephine, for your honor, and Uta honor of all New England's ladies, I now freely give my life if I fail, may God protect you forever." The parties now took position ten steps, to wheel and fire ; arms, Deringer pistolsAt one report, both men fell to the earth. But the Captain was soon up, being only Stunned by concussion the ball having passed directly beneath his tar. Mr. Farquir was shot through the face, cutting off a part of the tongue. The whole party soon returned to Paris and have been kept out of the way of the police. Farquir kept on all his clothing at the time of fighting ; in fact he was confident of success and nothing but his swollen face saved the Captain's life, for he is a sure shot, or was. His wound is terribly bad. He will never be bTovUv aid able to spoe.k so as to be understood. upon him. The Captain is up and about, but suffers very much with bis bead, owing I to his having received a wound in the head : in tbe Mexican war. He walks with mwb j difficulty and great agony. Bot, my dear sir, although this was a duel to be fully recorded, it loses its greatness when compared to what followed, viz: At about 10 o'clock d-jws reached Cant. Moses that Farquir would die unless ho got proper medical and other attendance, but he wap out of money, and, unless soon attended to, mortification might set in. The Captain immediately proceeded to his room, and finHInn. iKe penn.ln ....... 1 T . ,t-M.rr..i j:..- u. o .. . .

Stephanie tells me be was at Moses's room for him to return ; soon after he did ; he found he had given away his purse eontaining all the money be had this side of the Atlantic, except fifteen dollars or so -He had given four twenty pound nolus Bank of England, and two sovereigns ; under no consideration would he taks any back, saying, " it may save his life, and J could never die happy knowing that I had taken life; but, what is worse, than ail, refused the means of savingja." life." Moses also stated, " I am a ship-master, and can get a passage home free of charge." He leaves for London as goon as he is able to travel, perhaps to-morrow. His business i goes unfinished. From London he returns ; home, where, I hope, he will be met at least ' in friendship. Farquir will be taken to a i country town to-morrow, so as to get clear of noisy Paris and the police.

AL FREMONT. j All sorts of reports are in circulation relative to General Fremont and the visits of Postmaster Blair and Quartermaster General i . . j Meigs to St. L,ouis. These reports are not ; only current here, but are telegraphed all over (he country. I have ascertained the ; facts in the case. The gravest difficulty at. St. Louis was personal, between Gen. Fremont and Col. Frank P. Blair, Jr. It arose from different causes and was man Tested on various occasions, public and private. Confident hopes are entertained that it has been substantially adjusted. Complaints are made, from sources which have received consideration, against General Fremont, for alleged inaccessibility to persons having important business with him, and an indisposition to co-operate cordially with the State officials. It is probable that the groftnd for snch dissatisfaction wifl ts removed. General Fremont's proclamation, which was written and promulgated without consultation with anybody, will be modified to a certain extent by the President. He requires, or requests, General Fremont, in a letter already written, to be made public in a few days, to interpret his proclamation so as to make it accord with the law of Congress passed Rt the recent session. Thi3 is the substance. I do not undertake to .give you his language ; but my authority for all these statements is the highest that the case admits of. The relations between President Lincoln and General Fremont continue amicable. The President sent Postmaster General Blair out to St. Louis as a friend of General Fremont's. Quartermaster General Meigs went on other business simply to investigate the Quartermaster's Department there. No other charges, except those mentioned, which have any veight at all with the President, have been made against General Fremont. Mrs. Fremont left Washington in good spirits to-day, on her return to St. Louis. The Vanderburgh Court of Common Pleas closed its September Term yesterday. Judge Pitcher has pushed through a very large amount of business to the satisfaction ot Attorneys nm clients F.jnaeial v has, .j this been so on the Probate side of the I, 1 , . I . i Court. Administrators and Guardians have had to show their hands and what was in rhem, or the Sheriff has been after them with an attachment. This is a great improvement upon past times ; heretofore, this clas3 of trustees have had their own way settled or reudred an account when they pleased, and as they pleased often swindling widowsHand heirs. Judge Pitcher has effectually put a stop to this sort of thing. Among the pleasant proceedings of the last day, was the admission of Mr. Isaac Keen as a member of the bar. Mr. Keen will be quite an acquisition to the fraternity, as we understand he agreed to stand treat to his fellow lawyers and officers of the Court, all round. Military llall. Vi e are informed thai the Committee on Building are succeeding admirably, but they will need help from afour patriotic citizens to accomplish tb; undertaking as soon as they desire. Mr. Mussina has kindly offered to superintend the building, and will have the drawings and specifications ready to-day.

Lumber men promptly proffer lumber for the new military hall; teamatets seem anxious that theh teams should be employed in transporting the materials to the spot on which the building is to stuod ; carpenters cheerfully tender their services; the gas company proffer gas, and everything indicates that the building, which will be one of the most magnificent drilling rooms in the State, will be ready for use by Saturday week.

TRAPPED.— Hatteras Inlet is driving a

thriving commercial business. The rebels seem to have Made it a favorite port for their commerce. Four vessels have gone in under the pleasing impression that it was still in the hands of the Confederates. To spare the feelings of their owners, the mistake was not made known till they got inside. Knowing the unpleasant sensations which the star spangled banner excites in a true Southron, the flag of the fort was not made conspicuous. Two of the vessels had valuable cargoes of molasaee, clothing and shoes. How providential. Sweet are the uses of adversity, especially when sweetened with molasses. The shoes and clothing, too, might have prolonged the rebellion, and what a sin that would be I On the whole, we may say that Fort Hatteras is paying handsome dividends. e publish tlua morning, the sad de tails of another railroad outrage, by which a large number of our soldiers met a violent and awful death.
