YESTERDAY NOON'S DISPATCHES. - NEW YORK. Probable Defeat of Governor Swarm t for United States Senator General Logan on Impeachment. . .... - v t ' ? New York, Jan. 21. The Herald's Washington special says there is a dead-lock in the Maryland Legislature, which, promises to defeat the tlans of Gov. Swann" to be elected fnited States Senator. Colonel Morton, Superintendent of Indian Anairs in iNew Mexico, Has submitted recommendations to the Government to establish the wild and roving bands of Indians on reservations where they can be controlled and prevented from committing murders and depredations. General Logan, just from Illinois, gays the people generally are in favor of impeaching the President and believes him guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors. The Times' special says that nothing will be done in the impeachment matter before the 4th of March beyond the collection of evidence. It is understood that Mr. McCulloch lis in iavor of selling geld, but wants to retain the discretion of the time and amount to sell. Good judges say it is doubtful whether the tariff tax and bank bill will pass at this session. The Tribune has the following dispatch from Savannah, giving further particulars concerning the trouble opposite that city: A collision is likely to occur between the freedmen and United States forces, growing out of an attempt to eject them from a plantation in the Chevis estate, situated in South Carolina, opposite Savannah. They refused either to leave the plantation or contract for the presentyear. . Pursuant to orders from Gen. Tillson, one commissioned officer and fifty men proceeded to the plantation and were met by about three hundred negroes, all armed. A conflict was only prevented by temporary compromise. Capt. Brandt telegraphed to Gen. Scott, Commissioner, that it was impossible to eject them, and asked permission to detail a company of the Sixth Infantry, en route from Lamatonville to Charleston, to assist the troops sent over by Gen. Tillson, who are still on the plantation. New York, Jan. 21. The Herald's Panama correspondent says: It. was rumored that the United States Minister to Columbia, Mr. Burton, has had a serious difficulty with President Mosquera and had demanded his passport. Mosquera told him he did not require a passport, and could go or stay as he pleased. Whereupon Mr. Burton broke off all communication with the Columbian officials and has referred the matter to the United States Government. The tonnage tax on vessels entering Panama and Colon has been remitted; but the order directing all mails, in transition across the Isthmus, to be distributed through the local postoffices, has been reiterated. " The Herald's Lexington, Mo., correspondent says that some excitement has I bee a again revived there by the arrival of two companies of Governor Fletcher's militia. The bushwackers have entirely disappeared. Major Montgomery was arrested on the 12th by the U. S. Marshal, and taken to Jefferson city, where he was released on a writ of habeas corpus. ' Business is almost entirely suspended in Lexington, owing to the presence of the troops, who have exercised a ' kind oi terrorism over the main body of the citizens. i,, New York, Jan. 21. A boy, 15 years of age, named Lewis Klopst, 'son of a physician, of Hudson, N. J., has embezzled over $1,200 of the firm of Donald G. Mitchell & Co., of Pearl Street, by whom he was employed. He was arrested in Baltimore. ,l George Staley, baggage-master, on the New Jersey railroad, was run over at Newark, last evening, and instantly killed. The pilot-boat P. A. Perkin3 and all on board are supposed to be lost, as the vessel has not been heard from in several days. New York, Jan. 21. The Tribune's Washington special says a prominent Southern editor, and formerly a rebel officer, made a remark recently to some Congressmen that he was convinced, from experience with influential men in his State, that they intend soon making a movement to have Congress declare the Southern States Territories, thus allowing them Delegates to Congress, thereby getting a hearing and thus hastening reconstruction. The steamer City of New York, from Queenstown on the 10th, has arrived. English papers give accounts from 'all parts of the country of great storms, floods, shipwrecks, deaths from cold, and starvation. The Emperor of llussia has issued a ukase regarding Poland, which ? laces her under Russian direction, t divides Poland into five, instead of ten provisional governments, and gives Governors fuller powers, and forms local guards. New York, Jan. 21 It is reported from Washington that Minister Campbell has been instructed to remain in New Orleans at present. It is now said that Maximilian will leave Mexico with the French troops, in March, or soon after. Chicago, 111., January 21. Ticket number fifty-eight thousand six hundred (53,600) drew the Opera House.

Dear Journal: Some years since I wrote for your columns an article urging upon the citizens of Evansville, and upon the " Evansville & Crawfordsville Railroad " the great advantage to be derived to both by a branch railroad connecting at Princeton, Indiana, with the Evansville & Crawfordsville Road, and uniting Princeton, Indiana, with Mount Carmel, Illinois. There was considerable feeling manifested at the time by all the newspapers of Evansville and Princeton in favor of the constructing of such a road, but the citizens generally, and the Evansville and Crawfordsville Road, evinced an unaccountable lethargy in the move, and, finally, nothing was done, and Evansville lost the trade of a large scope of Southern Illinois, which was ready to be poured into her lap, and the Evansville and Crawfordsville Road lost a carrying and passenger trade equivalent in value per year even during the first year after the building of the branch to one-half the cost of the building. Although by this great negligence and carelessness manifested, Evans

ville has lost, for several years, the wealth of produce and trade which she might easily have secured at a

tithe of the cost she would have net ted in value, and the Evansville & Crawfordsville Road has lost many times the amount it would have cost to build the branch road, it has so happened that neither of them has so sinned away the day of grace but that they may yet secure for the time to come that which they rejected in the time that is past. Nine miles of rail road will connect Princeton with the Wabash River opposite Mt. Carmel There is no deep cut or heavy fill on the route; two and a half miles only are subject to overflow ; there are but a few rods of that distance where the overflow is deeper than two feet, and the average depth of over flow for the two-and-a-half miles is less than two feet. The grading is very light, very little heavier than through the Illinois prairies, where they graded the roads as fast as they qould lay down the ties and put the iron on them. Plenty of the bes't of timber for ties is to be found right along the line of the road, and will be furnished readily, along with the right of way, to aid in the construction of the road. A railroad is demanded to carry off the surplus produce of the Counties of White, Wayne, Edwards and Wabash. One mitst be built, if not to Princeton, it goes to Vincennes, Lawrenceville or Olney; if to Vincennes, Lawrenceville, or Olney, Evansville loses it all, as also the Evansville and Crawfordsville road. If the Princeton road is constructed, we have already a graded road of thirtysix miles connecting west with Fairfield in Wayne County, Illinois, and a road almost entirely graded con necting us at the 1 south with Carmi, forty miles. If roads are to be completed, one or both of those will be, and Evansville receives the benefit of the trade. Enough; will she and the Evansville and Crawfordsville Railroad build a railroad under the general railroad charter of Indiana from Princeton to Mt. Carmel, and receive as a reward the trade of Southern Illinois, and eventuallv of Central Illinois, by connection with lines northward, and, in default of such building, are the people of Hivansvuie satisfied tor the connection to be made with the Ohio and Missis sippi Railroad, and for Evansville to be forever cut off from the trade of Southern Illinois?
