On the second page we publisbra letter from a Cincinnati correspond ent; also an article on the American Contributions to the Paris 'Exhibi tion. On the sixth page is the first part of a new Story . Death of X. V. Willis. We announced, yesterday, the death of Nathaniel Parker Willis, one of the most distinguished " of our American authors. He has been for some time in feeble health, and his death does not come unexpected. He was a son of Nathaniel Willis, a printer and editor of some note, the founder of the Boston Recorder, the oldest religious journal in the world His grandfather was also a printer and editor, the publisher of the Independ ent Chronicle, a leading political paper of Boston, during the Revolution ary war ; he was one of the famous " Tea Party" which threw. the Tea cargo overboard ; and afterwards removed to Ohio, where he was for several years State Printer. N.P.Willis was born in 1807, at Portland, Maine; a student of Phillips' Academy, and a graduate of Yale College, where he wrote some of his religious poems, which gave him early prominence as an author The greatec portion of his life was de voted to editorial duties , in various newspaper enterprises, the; most im portant and successful . of which was his last, Tlie Home Journal; 'f' J:' He made three visits tb Europe, which were the foundation of a num ber of his most popular publications. He was a fertile and versatile writer, and leaves behind hima lafgeumber of works, chiefly on travel, literary and -artistic subjects. His earliest writings his Sacred Poems will most probably stand the test of. time, and give him a reputation after most of his prose works are forgotten'. V. The Louisville Journal has a long article on his death, probably ' from the pen of his old friend and brother poet, Geo. D. Prentice, closing as follows: Farewell, Willis ! As the Hebrew girl, by her loved river, sits and listens Vo its melancholy wail, mourning for glories long since faded, so sit we to-night by thy freshmade grave, and mourn for one who was the magic musician whose, lightest - strain stirred our rugged nature, and softened its stern chords, until only harmony soft, sweet, delicious harmony filled our soul. Willis, Farewell! i The.yeir Dailjv The first , number of the new daily paper, the Sentinel-on-the-Border, A. S. Kierolf & Brother proprietors, made its appearance yesterday. It is in folio form, smaller in size than the Courier. In the Salutatory, the editor says : . Politically, the Sentinel vf ill zealously advocate the true interests of the West and South against .the grasping, puritanical, domineering, self-rfghteous, high-protective and highly destiuctive policy so long pursued by the five New England States, which, vampire like, feed "upon the heart's blood oi the nation. We shall .exhibit, in these columns,4iatf th toiling masses of the great valleys of the Ohio and Mississippi are required to pay tribute to the Nabobs of the East ,fo,r. every thread In each man's coat, for every 'yard of yarn on each man's foot, for every pound of food in his house, for every peg in his boot, for every comfort about his home. Believing that the interests of the people of the West and South are similar .and sympathetic, we shall urge a union of sentiment, and a strong political alliance between them for the accomplishment of their equality as States and citizens. The Sentinel will sustain the great underlying principle of American liberty State Sovereignty, in all its rights by the Federal Constitution reserved to the States or the people thereof. t ' i ft We shall oppose with zeal the lurther leadership of the " whited sepulchres" of the Democratic party, known as the "Policy Dodgers" believing that, if Democracy is right, it is right to proclaim it everywhere and under all circumstances, and bear its banner forward boldly and fearlessly. While we must strongly oppose the political spirit of the Sentinel on-tlu-Border, in so far as it is " devoted to the interests of the city of Evansvillc,"we wish it success. Nothing does more for the material interests of a city, at home and abroad, than a well conducted and interesting newspaper; and if Evansville can sustain in vigorous life all the dailies now being published, it will be but another evidence of its prosperity and , commercial importance The new paper is entitled to a fair and impartial trial, and if found worthy, should receive its proper share of the patronage of the public. . t

FKOM T1IC CAPITAL.

Indianapolis, Jan. 23, 18C7 Editors Journal : The policy of Secretary McCcl loch was the subject of a protracted and acrimonious debate in the House yesterday morning, and that unfortu nate Minister of Finance came in for an exceedingly - liberal allowance o vituperation and abuse from many of the Republican members. . ' t " It might have been expected that he would find his ablest and , most zealou? defenders among the Demo cratic members;' but, with the excep tion of a scmr-idiotic splurge , from Kizer who is always ready to "gush' on the slightest provocation, and who the openly displayed derision and contempt of his own party friends fails to restrain -within the limits of com mon decency and a few feeble efforts from one or two others among the less conspicuous lights on the altar of " My Policy," there was no effort on the part of tne Democracy to take the field in defense of the calumniated Secretary. Few arguments were adduced against a policy that was denounced as "ruinous," and the assertion. that the present course of McCtjlloch would " plunge the country into irre trievable ruin," and " destroy " the dominant party before the "beginning of another year, was put forth as a self-evident proposition. Possibly, the question of National finance is beyond the calibre of many gentlemen who figured in this debate It would be no discredit to the ablest man on that floor to acknowledge his inability to grasp a problem of such maguitude. But it might be deemed. the partof wisdom and prudence to exercise one's oratorical powers on subjects within' ;.'the range of one's comprehension," nor venture into 'the arena -' of debate with no other weapons than denunciation' and : abusive epithets. ! M :-: " ' ' '" ' '. . The course of the7 Financial Secre tary may be" fa , the , direction : of nai i. 'i Si- i 'it. nuiia i uauKrupvcy, nor win ine wri ter undertake to say .that the hand of Hugh McCcLLOCHis not already feeling for the rope with which to ring the death knell of the Republi can party. ' But an array of hard names, how ever formidable, is. not the sort of logic that will bring conviction to any candid mind, and the. 'gentleman who led on and followed up inthis attack unfortunately lack that eXalted style of rhetoric which is requisite to give to mere assertion the appearance bf argument. , Eloquence is a rare and often daiTgerous power, but it tne display oi that quality made by the assailants of the greenback functionary in yester day's discussion may be taken as a criterion by which to judge of future probabilities, the interests of the State and Nation will neither be jeopardized by their rhetoric, nor immeasurably advanced by their logic. There was one Republican who had the moral courage to defend, if net the policy, at least the character, of the : Secretary against, the noisy but harmless discharge, of blank car tridges. Judge Hughes, in that calm and dignified manner which neve-, faila to. cqmnaand the respect ful attention of even his most viru lent opponents, suggested to his Re publican friends that our Senators and Representatives in Congress might be supposed to understand our national finances better than the members of this House, and that it might not be the part of wisdom or prudence to hamper them with instructions. If Mr. McCulloch had been the victim of "bribery and corruption," if he had been engaged in "stock -jobbing" and "gold -gambling," as had been cnargea, me congressional committees of investigation who had been following hiiu up and scrutinizing all his official acts, would have been able to bring some charges against him. That they had not done so was sufficient evidence that the Secretary w:k5 the same honorable, high-minded man as when he so successfully exhibited his great ability in a narrower field in our own State. The question will come up again for farther discussion next Tuesday, by which time it is hoped that those uieiubei'a who wish to " instruct our Senators, and request our Representatives in Congress" to use their influence in favor of such legislation as will modify or defeat the policy of Secretary McCulloch, will be able to fortify their positions with facts, and will remember that however desirable a thing it is to be a thorough partisan, there are questions in the

.discussion of which it is necessary for

public men to rise above party. There are better arguments to bring against a measure than the assertion that it will destroy the prestige of a party, and there may. possibly, be better argument against a Cabinet Minister than he is " a satellite of Andrew Johnson." : Your correspondent does not profess to understand, fully,' all the com? plication's of our National debt and currency, but he has learned "as little fronr tirades against a financier of whom the people of Indiana were wont to be proud, agfrom the Choctaw jargon perpetrrted on the other side by the Clown of Fort Wayne, the minimum-of-sense-and - maximum-of-"gab"-yclept, " the gentleman from Allen County." Mark Taply. A loyal Meeting. The citizens of Butler County, Kentucky, on Green River, were, during the war; noted for the promptness with which they responded to" the call of the Government for troops to defend the . life of the nation. Probably no county in the North sent a greater proportion of its population to the Union army. It could hardly be otherwise than that these men, who had proved their devoted loy alty in the hour of extreme peril, should be true to the Government on the return of peace. We have received the proceedings of a large Union meeting held at Morgantown on the 14th inst., attended by the prominent men of the county, at which a long list of delegates was ap pointed to attend the Union Conven tion at Frankfort, and the following resolutions were passed, which have the ring of true patriotism. . .There is nothing bogus about the loyalty of the Butler County Union men. 71 7 7 " mi . .i i " ifsoivea, mac me doctrine now inculcated by the so-called Democra cy, (namely: that the people of a State or States .may engage(in war q rroincf uqmiuoi iuy U Vll UUirjut 1U a LI U LLi UCI or years, and yet be entitled to all the rights and privihges of those remain ing loyal, at any time they may choose to surrender,; is a doctrine too monstrous to be countenanced by an or der-loving people. It is subversive of all correct principles of good gov ernment. Itleficourages' treason and discourages loyalty. ' - liesolved.

Resolved, That it is for Congress to say when tne people, lately in arms against the Government, should be entitled to representation in Congress; and the selection of persons prominent in the cause of rebellion as Representatives in Congress, is a. direct insult to the loyal men of the nation, and is the best of evidence that such people ought not to be represented in Congress. i i..;;'T. yi : Resolved, That when the Constitution speaks of representation, it means a, representation of loyalty; and that our forefathers never intended treason to be represented jn Congress, nor traitors to be admitted -therein. . ; ,JURBIED; ' ' HAMLIN MURRAY.
