The docket Is a large one, and the court will sit probablyits fall term. Among tfte inter esting cases are nine petitions for divorce. We will endeavor to give our readers such portions of the proceedings as may be of nubile interest. Fibe Sunday Mojuuxi.; a t precisely micinigtit, 01 aturua jHhtWire beils rang an alarm, tlie flrst that ms iHWused our city for some months. We were quickly on the streets to learn the cause of the alarm, and on reaching Water Street, we discovered the Indiana Wills; owned by Mr. Wm. Helpinstine, of Washington, Indiana, enveloped In flames. At this time the spectacle prtetitfed by the massive building, was extremely grand' and awful. The Whole building was wrapped in a sheet of flame, a very ocean of Are the livid waves of flame darting upwards to an immense height .ami thje whole airfitit d wijsparks and flakes and cinders, falling upon the surrounding buildings like a mighty shower of fire. The main building was a frame, three stories high, built with massive timbers, which stood towering like giant pillars of flame long after the weather boarding, roof and floors were consumed. The hand engines and one of the steamers ware brought into the vicinity, but so rapia had been the progress of the flames, p want of water, and the intense heat that prevented the firemen ;'rom approach -( ing within a square of the building, that it rendered it impossible for the engine-; to be of any service. ft JT pWWm I Thousands of people flocked to the vicinity to watch the progress of the devouring element. For two hours the flames fed UPOn and devoured the massive timbers, 2 aruich one by one gave way, until the ties ana d races gave way, when the whole frame tottered and fell with a terrible crash, filling the air again with a storm of lire. After the frame fell, the husk frame a massive structure supporting four pairs of millstones continued to stand and burn, until the whole became apparently a solid mass of living coals, which at last gave way, and millstones and wheels and shafts fell into the raging furnace, and the old Indiana Mills were a mass of unsightly rhihs. r -' J i - rYL It was the most brilliant fire we have seen in the city, lighting up all that portion of the city from Heilman's Foundry to the Coal Mines, and Illuminating the river and the Kentucky shore from point to point. The Indiana Mills were built over 30 years ago, were burnt down about 22 years since, and re-built. They were first built b.y gentlemen from Boston, as we are told, and have passed through the hands of various of our citizens, until they were finally purchased by W. M. Aikman, some two years ago, a,t .sheriffs sale, and by him enlarged and refitted throughout at an expense of more than 825,000, the machinery alone costing over W,000, and being reckoned amongst the best in the country. Last fall, wo believe, the Mills passed into the hands of Mr. Helpinstein, srace wiicii UmOjtfeey have not been rungfr Si.l J Th watchman, Mr. W. H. Johnson, had passed through the mills not hour before the fire was discovered. The fire the wo, ui aa lucenaiary, of course was J nmuiett in a narrow recess Ibetween the-, two buildings back, where it , would not be readily discovered Until it haU gotten well under Way. j The valueOf tlieproperty was estimated at $32,0-0, a low estimate!, and was insured , ror i,woin tne loiJowing offices, all, exCept'tHe Artftle, represedttS WUHseity by Dr. A. C. Hallock: Putnam, 4,ai0; City Fire, $2,000; Springfield, $2,00; International, $4,000 ; Metro- ' polttafn, $900; Arctic, $1,000. The frequency of destructive fires recently, h&ve determined many of the best InSurance Companies of tlieconntry to close up and retire from thje business, and those I continuing are considering the propriety I of advancing rates. Yesterday thousands of people visited the ruins of the conflagration, and crowds ! jingered around there all day.

The smal et proeeeds do not make a showing very editable to our citizens. The first night fe, a decided success, the receipts being $18 while on the second night the receiptwere only $103 00. The cause of this fal)g off was niiinifestly a misapprehensiona the part of many that there would be rush for seato on the secqnd nissit by Ps0ns who were crowded out on the first b-ht.

Speeches wre made by Col. Buchanan, Alvah Johnsa Esq., an4 Captain Reavls, which were lr tened to by the large audience with inteest and irequent applause. So great ws the eagerness to hear the exposition f political truths that the speakers were r quired to continue the meeting until afte twelve o'clock, and even then the peoplt were reluctant to disperse. The voters o this part of the county are largely on the side of Congress and the cause of true lov alty, and will giye a good account of them J selves at the election. Glendale Female Collige.-W6 have a letter from .President Potter, of his Institution, informing us that the term will not commence until the lflth of Septem ber, which is one week later than the ,ad vertised time. We notice the change', as we learn that a number of our citizens de sign sending their daughters to this excel lent seminary, and may not otherwise be Informed. Matrimonial.

Aw Attempt at Incekdiarisk.- On Sa t urday morning, just after daylight, an attempt was made to burn Huston's mill, near the Franklin Avenue bridge. Afire had heen kindled by some scoundrel against the side of the building, but It was fortunately discovered before it had made much progress. There is manifestly one or more scoundrels in' 6ur midst whose arrest and lodgment in the State's prison or to the end of a rope on a stray limb V6uld be a benefit to the city. A number of incendiary jflres have been kindled in thlrfolty within the last few years, and it , is .to be regretted that their authors caftno De aiscovereu. - -, Skvbbe Accidentia carpenter, whose name we were unable to ascertain, ', .fell from a scaffold In the upper part of the city, in the vicinity of Captain Humphrey's residence, on Friday, and was severely injured.

His disease was cholera.

THE MEETING SATURDAY NIGHT.

JUDGE DE BBULEB OX THE STAND. An Able and Impressive Speech. a In lU., Desire of the e to Hear More. A crowd of over a thousand people, Including a number of ladies, assembled on Saturday night, at an early hour; on the corner oi Main and Third Streets, to listen to a speech from Judge DeBruler, Union Candidate for Congress. From some misapprehension, the speaker did not arrive at the stand until near 8 o'clock, and a large number, thinking, perhaps, that he was not coming stall, left the ground, but still some 700 or 800 remained, and were well repaid for their patience and endurance in standing in the street for nearly three hours, by one of the ablest, clearest, and most convincing speeches that has been delivered in this city this season. The crowd comprised many of our leading citizens, men whom we have seldom before seen at public meetings, and who stood during the whole evening wrapped in the most eager attention, an evidence of the spirit of inquiry that now possesses all classes on the political topics of the day. We would be glad to have been able to report the speech In full, but the sumptuous arrangements made to facilitate oar efforts in taking notes, prevented us from getting it down as fully as we might have done, had we been compelled to sit down flat upon the platform, with our back against a tree. We hope such care will not again be taken to accommodate the "humble representative of the press, who now addresses yoiv." ( Mde Andrew J.'fl last 32 speeches on the Circle.) . We had never before had the pleasure of hearing Judge DeBruler speak, and we were most pleasantly disappointed hi hearing so able, forcible! and logical a speech? as he delivered. . After apologising for his late appearance, he proceeded to make a rapid review of the history of the country and of parties during the last five or six years; and now, when the question is to be settled as to where the power is to lie, in settling the great questions at issue, he finds the Demo crat ic party presenting the same undivided front m favofof the enemies of the country that they presented all through the war. At the outset of the rebellion, they had declared that we had neither the right to coerce the rebellious States nor the ability to subdue the traitors. We made the issue then on that question, and the Democrats failed to establish their theories. 1 When the first call was made for troops, every Democratic newspaper throughout the land, had set up a howl of usurpation, and methe call with denunciation and derision. Again the Democracy failed. Indeed they had signally failed in every position they had taken since 1860, and he believed they would so continue to the laid of the chapter. When .means were devised to raise money to pay our soldiers, they attacked the finances, and declared that our bonds would be worthless, and that the people never would bear the burden of taxes that would be imposed upon them. When we sent our bonds to Europe we could oniy obtain.40 to 45 cents on the dollar, while rebel bonds sold for 60 to 65 cents. The European money lenders met us with the declaration that the Democracy ol the South were the power in this country, and that the government of the United States was broken up. All this was the result of the efforts of the Democrats to destroy the national eredit. And now, after the Philadelphia Convention, and another effort of the Democrats, assisted by President Johnson to break up the government, we find Confederate bonds at once advance in the European market. He reviewed the course pursued by the Democratic Administration of Buchanan and the means employed by the traitors who composed his Cabinet, to destroy the power of the Government to defend itself against traitors, by sending all the public irms to the South, our ships of war to the itmost seas, and our army to the far Southvest, under the command of tne traitor Twiggs, who surrendered It to the rebels at tie outset of the war. 3ut a navy had been built, arms had ben manufactured, ac army of half a" milion men had been put into the field, anl the loyal men of the Nori, and East hac responied to the call for money with an ilacrity never before witnessed, and all against the earnest opposition or theDemocra.ic party. The Democracy had again fallel. They had opposed the draft, had written to so diers to desert and come home, had conspired to murder draft officers, and had murdered many of them throughout the 9eiSiiijM tasiufc 'i id-sorts Judgs Nibtack had made the demagogue declaration that we could draft poor men, but we could not draft money. Did the Judge want us to steal it? That was a Democratic mode. Floyd und Thompson had illustrated it. i (But the money had been raised, and every soliiler had been paid, and the Government was preparing to pay them more, but was restrained by President Johnson. When Grant and Sherman were driving back the traitor hordes to the James River and to the sea, the Democrats had met in Chicago o nominate a President, and not a resolution aia iney pass, nor n speecu dd they make, giving encouragement or hope to our armies. They' declared the war a rairare,1iinnrgedace'asatie6iaostilities, and thus encouraged the rebls to hold out. But in that they had failed, and the1 Confederacy had failed with them. tXremendous Applse-1 What would have beea the result had the Democrats succeeded and McClellan elected on that platr rny Does any intel ligent man believe t'.iat the rebels would not have been successful, and that the loyal men of the.wun.try would n6t now be the humbled party, ' and the vassals of the lordlings of the South ? The. political campaign ot 1864 saved the Government. The successor the loyal men a the' North had encouraged the Union army and disheartened the rebels. The Judge then gave a scathing review

of the organization of the Sons of Liberty, and their conspiracy to murder the Governor of the State to free the rebel prisoners at the North, and inaugurate anarchy and bloodshed and massacre throughout our State. When a proposition was made in a Democratic Legislature to Inquire into this organization, and to enquire if such a conspiracy had been entered Into, the Democrats, and Judge Niblack amongst them, had voted the proposition down. Hence the conclusion was irresistible that Niblack knew of the conspiracy and feared investigation. Bayless W. Hanha had Introduced a bill to take all military power in the State out of the hand Of Governor Morton, and place it In the hands of State officers, three of whom were known Sons of Liberty ,and Niblack had favored that measure. Breaking the quorom in that Legislature by the Union members bolting, had saved the Stale of Indiana from being turned over to the rebels. Had this plot of the Democrats been successful, the State of Indiana would have been drenched in blood. Niblack, voting for that bill, would have made him responsible. But now Niblack declares that Democrats are the only Uuionists. The people are misinformed by Niblack and such as he. He says we fought this battle, and now, when the battle is over, the Republicans want to keep the rebel States out of the Union. The Union never was dissolved. The rebel States never were out of the Union. The rebels left Congress and were not represented; but whose fault was it? They were not driven out of Congress, but went out voluntarily ; bnt now, as soon as they are whipped, they come, backed by the Democratic party, and ask to be restored to office and to power. Andy Johnson had said, before he became President, that rebels should take a back seat, but now he wants them to have the front seats'. Niblack says Johnson will not suffer another to be inaugurated President, but backed by the Army and Navy, will make himself. President. Loud cries of "Let him try it, They threatened us with war in I860, if we elected Lincoln; and, for once, they kept their word; and, falling to overcome us with ballots, they tried to overcome us with bullets; and now, Niblack says we shall have war again, if we do not restore these rebels to power aqd to office. They didn't scape us.in 18S0 and they will find now that Union men do not scare worth a d n. Immense applause Bui flie gat question at issue is, who shall rule hereafter? Those who stood by the government in its darkest hour, or those who fought five long years to destroy it? Either loyal men or traitors must reorganize the government. He had never remembered seeing a resolution passed by a democratic meeting urging the government to prosecute the war to a close. In the Indianapolis convention of 186i, when Breckenridge was in sight of Washington, and. the rebel flag was Hying in sight of the Capitol, not a Democratic speech was made not a resolution passed, not one word was uttered to give hope or encouragement to the army or the government. But they denonnced Union Generals, and Colerick, while the battle was raging, declared that Union victories afforded him no joy, and rebel victories no sorrow. While he was reading that infamous speech, he heard a loud wail in the next dwelling. A mother had just received the intelligence that her first born had. fallen in battle, while defending the flag of his country. But such as she received no sympathy from such men as Colerick. When the proposition was made in our Legislature to amend the Constitution so as to allow the soldiers in the field to vote Niblack and the whole Democratic party voted against it. Every State which had a Union Legislature gave her soldiers the right to vote in the field, and every State with a Democratic Legislature refused them that privilege. Nibiack voted against allowing the soldiers in the field the right to vote, but how comes and asks the soldiers to vote for him. Cries we won't do

it. That is an illustration of Democratic impudence. He knew that soldiers generally voted as they shot-against the enemies of their country and he was not willing; to trust them then, but now he asks their support. Judge DeBruler then proceeded briefly, but clearly, to discuss the Constitutional Amendments as proposed by Congress, showing why they should be adopted, and why the Democratic party opposed them. But our space will not permit us to follow his cogent and convincing arguments,on these points. There was not a candid man In the assembly who was not convinced of the truth of his declarations, and the correctness of his arguments. His peroration was a glowing and eloquent appeal to stand by the men and tho party who had stood by the country and the Government In the hour of its peril. When' he closed , the crowd which had scarcely diminished, seemed reluctant to leave, but were manifestly anxious to hear more. We hope to hear the Judge again. Beal Estate Transfers.

Laubnstein om Wili4ch The Old Hero Demolished. The Democratic meeting last night ln Mozart Hall, was in proportion to other meetings of that party which we have seen here In Evansville, rather well attended.iTho people had heard that a new star in the arm Inarm party was expected to answer General Willich, und that name Is Interesting enough to draw scores of either friends or foes. Dr. Lauenstelne spoke in German ant iWillich,) Peter Maier, Morris S. Johnson and Whittlesey InEnglish. Dr. Lauenstein is the editor or the German Democratic paper in this city, and has heen connected with the press for some years,' but'likfc our accident, thr President of the United States, has some experience in turning a summersault into another party, if it suits his interests any better. He, only a short time ago, was connected with the Radical Illinois Slants Zeltung of Chicago. Mr. Lauenstein tried first to find fault with Gen. Willlch's speech, lately made in this place. Willich had said that every Demoeratwas a traitor. .Now, w heard the General's spetch, also, and remember that Willich said there were a good many Union men in the Democratic ranks, thoughie oohld'nt see how that, now-a-days, could be harmonized. Afler this Uttle mistake, a tapxus memoria,we suppose, the Doctor asked what the radicals meant by liberty, and told bis friends they meant by It full liberty of action, speech, and writing, but all for themselves alone ; any opposing opinion was called traitorous. Then again, Willich, he said, he had known as an editor of a newspaper ln Cincinnati, where Willich had, as he was obliged to acknowledge, 'always worked for the interest of the people, especially of the working men. He also gave his approbation of Gen. Willich's taking part in the revolution of 1848, against the King of Prussia, his (Willich's) blood relative. Further on Willich was again congratulated for his working for the Interests of the laboring class, while he was editing a newspaper, and for his zeal in behalf of liberty of the press, except that he once, as Commander of the post In Covington wanted to silence the Cincinnati Volksfreimd. Then the Doctor came to what he doubtless considered the strong point of his speech, Willich's expressions against the Catholics, claiming that these expressions would do much good to UieDemocratic party. 4 . Willich, the Doctor said, had not been so hard on Ca-hollcs when here before, but was now bought and paid by the Radicals. Grant had also been hard on the Jews once, but Lincoln had repealed Grant's order, and so the people would repeal Willich's anti-Catholicism. Willich had also stated that in case the Democrats should win at the October election, 1 0,0)0 soldiers would o to Washington and hang everybody they did not like; Was not that rebellion against the will of the majority? Whereupon the Dr. subsided. Excepting Mr. Lauenstein's assertions of statements made by Willich. concerning Catholics, and the hanging business in Washington, in which Willich was misrepresented, the whole speech seemed really rather to be a eulogy on the General. Instead of being able to damage General Willlch's reputation, Mr. Lauenstein, like the old prophet who wanted to talk ope way 'and the Almighty made him talk the other, was, by the power of tiuth and facts, always obliged to admit the Genera) to be a brave, good, and well-meaning man towards the people. And so, notwithstanding what was intended to be a complete extinguisher, we doubt not the grim old hero will still retain a warm place in the hearts of all. Germans, who love freedom and hate tyranny and wrong, in Europe or America.

Sabbath School Celebration. On Friday evening last a very lntt resting Sabbath School celebration was held in. the Liberty Church, some three miles below the city. We had a pressing invitation to attend, but other engagements deprived us of the great pleasure. We have, however, been kindly furnished by a friend who was j spresent; setnfe of the leading facts in the case. Three schools organized in that neighborhood some three months ago by Dr. Stinson of this city, participated in the celebration. Mr. Wm. Tileson of this city, who takes a lively interest in aU such affairs has been meeting the schools once or twice a week for months past and drilling them in vocal music. The exercises on Friday night were under the direction of MajCox, and consisted in recitations by the scholars of verses and chapters from the Bible, and hymns ; also, a number of pleasing dialogues, the whole spiced with excellent music under direction of Mr. Wm. Tileson, assisted by Mr. C. C. Genung on the cabinet organ. The children had made careful preparation and were very proficient in their recitations, and the mosic was excellent and was joined in by old and young with great spirit and zest. The house was crowded, and many were compelled to stand outside at the door and windows all evening. Great credit is due to Dr. Stinson, Major Cox, and Win. Tileson, for their unwavering efforts in making the celebration what it was, a complete success. By no means the lest attractive feature of the evening was the very fine music, of the cabinet organ, under the skilled management of Mr. C. C. Genung, who is a proficient on that highly popular instrument. His fine music was Intesting to all, and especially to the little ones, many of whom bad nerer heard such pleasing tones before. The glowing accounts given by those In attendance magnify our regret at not being present and participating In the pleasures of the evening MOjIIDO iii'Lti m ' 0t'3i', ' ' . J -j Another Dull Day. Saturday was exceedingly dull in the way of local items. Not a case came up in the Recorder's office,,, nor in either of the Justices' offices for adjudication. One or two slight skirnftshes took place on Saturday, but they scarcely amounted to the dignity of the foundation for an item. Indeed, the only legitimate first-class city item we have had for a week, is the buring of the Indiana .Mills yesterday morning, full particulars which will be found elsewhere. More Rain. A heavy storm, accompanied by lightning and thunder, passed to the south of us last night, only a portion of It" reaching here. It commenced raining, however, about mid-night," wfcti'indlcatlons of continuing through the night.

Union Meeting in Scott TowNSHif. The meeting . at Esau Newman's, Scott Township, hear the line of Armstrong' Township, on Saturday night, was largely attended. A detachment of the Crescent City .Silver Band was present and made some excellent music. Able and strongly argumentive speeches were made by Lieu,, tenant Governor Baker anfl Mr. Emrt Blschof, the latter sneaking in German. The speeches Wre listened to with profound attention, find were loudly applauded. A few representatives of the .Johnson Democracy, from Armstrong Township attempted to interrupt the meeting by shouting for Jeff Davis, and calling ouJie band to play Dixie, and other like " loyal" and Democratic operations. But the Union men, of whom there were more than 1W voters present, didn't disturb any to speak of, and the blackguardism of these representative Democrats only served to excite the disgust of the honest Democrats present afld the :, tempt - .1 the Union men. A Great Map. We are always glad to acknowledge superior merit and grand achievements. Our attention was called on Saturday night to a new County Map of the United States, published by Ashcr & Adams, of Indianapolis, If we are not mistaken. It is gotten up in gorgeous colors, and highly garnished around the borders with cards, &c. The extraordinary accuracy of this map may be realized from the fact that Vanderburgh County Isentirely wiped out, and the city of Evansville is transferred to tHe county 0 Warrick. Other peculiar accuraces of like character may be discovered by those familiar with the various sections of the country; but the above will suffice for the citlaens of Vanderburgh County, if it frees them from paying County and State Tax, and still continues the salaries of our county officers. As Mapists Asher & Adams do not em to be a great success.
