The horse thieves are still at work iu Knox County. One of the rascals was caught by Deputy Marshal Ralph Donovan, a few days ago, and safely bound. The Masonic bodies at Indianapolis are making an effort to raise J85.000, to pay th-r expenses of proposed alterations aud' improvements of Masonic Hall, of that city. g The Foster-Lozier debate will commence at Indianapolis to-night. Morrison's Opera Hall has been selected as the place for the debate. The people of Jefferoonville have a ma- . nia for street Improvements Already five miles ot street improvement are under contract. At Huntington, Indiana, last Thursday -evening, a German named Felzhab was fatally stabbed by Charles Egar. The parties got into a quarrel on the street. The murderer was arrested. . - r One night last week the dam across the St. Joseph River, at South Bend, gave way from the heavy pressure of water, resulting in the suspension of operations by all water power rnilis in that vicinity. Of the twenty-six A. B.'s Just graduated from the Indiana Asbury University, fifteen have selected the legal profession, two propose to enter the ministry, and two will teach. The balance will follow the example of the poetical Wilkins in waiting "for tometbing to turninp.' " f The body of an Infant was found in a jrivy vault, at Indianapolis, on the 27th inst. All the circumstances of the case indicate premeditated and deliberate snicide. No clue to the perpetrators of the act. . . , The corner stone of the Masonic Temple, at Washington, Ind., was laid last Moi.day. A brother of that lodge, Mr. Joseph Cruse, at his death, willed all his property, valued at about 510,000, to the order, the proceeds to be used in the erectiou of a tall. On the 27th inst., a warrant was diawn on the State Treasurer, for SUlS.oit; .7J, for the redemption of the two and a naif per cent, stocks, that amount having Wen ealized under the tax for the liquidation of the State debt. The money was carried to New Yoitk in various instalments, by Hie Merchants' Union Express. i On the 27th, Mr. John B. Manly, lute candidate for Councilman in one ot" the vaids at Indianapolis, was assaulted by oneof his woikmen, who inflicted an uly Mtch iu his head witli a in.-l-saw. T e vwcur.d will not prove fatal.

A few days ago, some boys at Lafayette took advantage of the absence of a worthy "wTaarirTWftonl LoS?fooiiea"teSncSen door, and drive a oow'and calf fn'to the sitting loom, where they remained without

food for about two days. Of course, carpet, furniture and all were spoiled. That is the meanest thing of which thoughtless boys could be guilty. KESTl'CKY ITEMS Jno. W. Stephenson, rebel candidate for Governor, has filled all his appointments to speak in the lower part of the State and has gone to his home in Covington The Lexington C baerver speaking of the colored schools in that city, expresses wish that the teachers should be selected from those following that profession n Kentucky. ; " Almost daily some per-on is taken In and done for on the Louisville and Nash Railroadtraius, by some rascals who travel back and forth in search of prey. The unsuspecting are drawn into a game of cards, always losing in the end, and most generally all the money they have, The Grand Jury at Louisville have re turned an indictment for murder agaimst John Eichberger and his brothers, who, it will be remembered, killed a man at a picnic near that city, a few Sabbaths ago The City Council of Paducaa have, as-M sessed a, tax. of, 40 cents on each tlOO ofl valuation of property In that-city, to liq date "the Judgment rendered against that city in the case of the steamer Sam, Qrr, captured by the rebels during the war.. ; , f i t i ?

Sam. McKee has notified John D. Young that he will contest his seat in Congress. Young responds through the Louisville Courier, la which he denies the charges made against him, and saya that he was always loyal to I he Federal Govern ment, and that he never symathizrd with the rebellion. If that be true, John has been deceiving his rebel friends. , , , The Annual Tobacco Fair takes nlace on the 2d and 3d days of Juin Louisville.

Entrance through the Alley on Mam Slreet, next to Marble Hall. Every vote cast agaifist taking stock in the road to Nashville is a vote against Evansville and in favor of Louisville. Let every citizen who desires to see Evansville a great city do what he can to-day to rally to the polls the friends of the Nashville Railroad. Our Correspondence. We present our readers, in this issue, quite a budget of letters from our special correspondents in different parts of our State and Kentucky. There ia no better method of giving our readers a good idea of the spirit of our neighbors, and of the events transpiring around us. We are making our correspondence-quite a feature in the Journal; and we believe it is one of the most interesting departments to the general reader. See that Your Neighbor Totes. There can be no doubt about the success of the Railroad proposition to-day, if the friends of the measure see that a full vote is polled. - By indifference and inactivity alone can there b'e daDger See that your neighbor votes. Let none stay away from the polls. We want a large vote and a rousing majority. Let us show to-day that the people of Evansville are full of enterprise and have confidence in its future. . , To Tax-Payers. . The Evansville, Henderson & Nashville Railroad will increase the taxable property of Evansville much faster than it will increase the taxes, and in this way our taxes will be' lower, and not higher, with the road than without it. t"- .-' r '"-I 'S -- S 1 .

Educational Prost.cts'in! fftidJana.

from our.correspond?Bt9 it " three of the leading Colleges of the State, which will ' be interesting to the friends of those institutions, as well as all who take an .interest iD the great cause of education. It will be noticed with pleasure that all of them are in a high state of prosperity, and that the next year promises a large increase of students and a more enlarged sphere of usefulness. Since thejtepublican party came into power in Indiana, great advances have been made in all departments.of education. Under the liberal provisions of the Legislature, and the efficient labors of the" Superintendent of. .Public Instruction, the common schools of the State have been verygreatly improved; the standard of scholarship on he part, of teachers has been raised; the length of time the common schools are held has been increased; and the graded school systenA)f the cities and large towns has been made much more perfect and emcient These advances in educafionaiJaffairs are having their ffect up5u our col lege? and higher institutions of learn ing. JThe youth of the State.,having acquired a thirst for knowledge 'in the common schools, are, in-much greater numbers than in former. years, Jtaking advantage of the opportunities Offered by the schools of the highest grades. It is a matter of" 'rej'oicingTo isverjjf good citizen, and arT omen fall of hope and confidence for the future of our State and Nation, w To Working Men and Mechanics. -If you do not build up 'Evansville to be a large , city, -your children -will have to leave Evansville and go to larger cities, to get employment. and make a living for themselves.' No matter whether you make lawyers, doctors, merchants, or mechanics of them, they cannot find employment here, unless you encourage public im provements and build up your own city. You must build Railroads to build tp'theity, t67 Tceep your family about you. " The Courier man has a style of argument peculiarly his own in dis posing of an opponent. Some time ago, in an article on Louisiana politics, we published a current news item about a murder alleged to have been committed in that State. It appears the Courier, after an unnecessary apse of time, has found, in some reiable Democratic sheet, a denial of the fact; whereupon it devotes half column of not very polite editorial to prove the Journal's studied efforts at false hood. With the ferver and elegance of diction of Nasby, it cries out: " Is the penchant for falsehood so great in their brtst that the Journal editors can't resist the temptation?'' It says it does not expect an answer, after its crushing attack. We are glad it has mercifully excused us. low could we reply? ' he Railroad Tax Upon What Property it Is Levied. Editors Journal : Does the t- x to be levied on the city for the Evansville, Henderson & Nashville Railroad apply to real and personal estate, or is it real estate alone th it Is to be taxed? On this question "depends many votes Can you give any light on this subject in your issue for Monday ? The above was handed us on Saturday by a prominent 'citizen, with the request that we state the fact3 in this morning's issue. . There are two ways, under the provisions of the City Charter and the State laws, by which the Common Council is authorized to take stock in railroads ; 1st, by the petition of twothirds of the owners. of real estate; and 2nd, by a vote of the majority of the qualified voters of the city. When the stock is taken upon the petition of the owners of real estate, the tax to pay the interest and principal of the bonds is levied on real property only. When the" efockf is taken Slponi avote of the people, the tax is levied upon all kinds of property, both realand personal.' If the majority 6fthe voters to-day decide that the city shall take stock in itheE., H. &N. Railroad,' the tax to be levied as a consequence of it will be imposed upon all kinds of property. All classes of citizens will share equally in the burdens, and in proportion to their estate, of whatever character it may be, will contribute to pay the interest and principal of the bonds issued by the city. $E hope tlyit our manufacturers will sec- tu it that their employees are giveu an opportunity, without loss of wages;, to cast their votes to-day. If there is one class of our people more than another to be benefitted by the building of the Nashville Railroad, it is the working class.

Congress in lhlQrl LKentueky; District, arrived in the city yesterday, on his way to Washington City to contest the sea$ of Jn,dge,TRiMBLE, Rebel Democrat, who has received ' the" cer tificate of election. We have alluded to the merits of this controversy before, and it is not necessary for us ,to repeat a statement of the fact3. We can only express the hope that Col. SthswHI be able to substantiate his claims and secure a seat in Congress. He made a gallant and fearless race, and is entitled on his own behalf, and that of the loyal 1 men of the First District, to the favorable consideration of Congress. Col. Syms i3 a' gentleman of ability, and one of the rising men of Kentucky. As a soldier of the Union army, he has a gallant record. He participated in the first Bull Run battle, where he was . wounded ; was at the siege of :Vicks burg; was in the front of Sherman's advance on 'Atlanta, and was shot through the body in the battles before that city. His is one continuous record of patriotic devotion to his country in the time of her greatest need ; while that of his opponent is one of disloyalty and opposition to the Government u tne war are fit1 representatives of the opposing political parties in Kentucky. A COLLEGE CANDIDATE. -A correspondent of the Indianapolis Journal, in giving an account of the Alumni Supper at Asbury University, at rc-aonnoufla laef maar in tlio Mat- nf toasts nas tne tonowing: ,The next Governor of Indiana' Hon. Will. Cumback was loudly called (or to respond, but from some cause he. was not at baud, though I saw bint In attend ance but a lew minutes before. The question as to who would be our next Governor was, therefore, not decided by the assembly. ' The correspondent, further on. in the account of the Supper; says: ' s . Governor Baker, was present a lltti while during the exercises, but so' quietly and unobtiusive.'y so that but few persons. 1 apprehend, were aware that they had as a spectator the Governor of Indiana. The writer does not state whether the toast was offered while Governor Baker was present, but as he and CohneT Cumbaotc -were returning to gether from an official visit to the State University, it is most probable. We have seen preachers and beard less students guilty of such indis cretion before. We suggest that they can be better employed than in making the "next Governor" for the people of Indiana. A portion of the Democratic press are, with an effrontery that is indiscribable, alleging that the colored people of the South are greatly addicted to iutcrjperance, and they argue that therefore they should not be en trusted with the ballot. Thi3 is a d:ing?rous principle to establish. If dram-drinking and rum swilling are to disfranchise a. population, where. would be the Nasby Democracy? t'rop Reports. ' ' Wheat Prospects. rWheat is ripening very rapidly. Many farmers began harvesting the first of the week. The prospect is good. In some localities it is slightly affected by rust, but, altogether, the evidence of a larce yield were never more reliable Du ring this and next week: the most ot the wheat in this county will be harvested. The corn, notwithstanding the late ness of the season, bids fair to do well. Farmers brine in the most en- . 7 .1 - n couraging reports oi mis crop irom all parts ot the county. Some hay is already being har vested. ..The prospect for a large yield is encouraging. ' Ihe agricultural prospects ot the whole country were scarcely ever more encouraging. We confidently predict a return to the old prices of produce alter the present harvest. L Warrick Herald, lb. Col. I. N. Eastham is now cutting his wheat, on the farm, below the city. Ihe yield 13. heavy and the quality unusually fine. Perhaps a better lot of wheat will not be har vested in tbis section. Vincennes Sun. 28. , . . .1 VV E near seriOUS COmrjlamtS irom I our farmers, since the commencement of harvest, that the yield of wheat will fall far .short of their expectations the deficiency being caused by "rust" and spot. As yet it is impossible to arrive at any correct estimate of the Quantity so injured, but we are incKned to the belief that the damage is greatly over-estimated. The weather during the past week has been very favorable for harvesting, but the continued hot, dry weather is beginning to tell seriously on the corn crop. Itatn is sadly needed in our vicinity. New Harmony Hegisfer, 2dlh. The Wheat. This crop so far promises well in this county. Considerable alarm was manifested by some ot our farmers in regard to the appearance ol the weevil. Jbrom all that we can learn, it is not half as bad as it has been represented.
