Letter from Boonville. Boonville, Ind., Sept. 21, 1867. Editors Journal: Tbe September term of the Warrick

Circuit Court, which has just closed, has been one of unusual interest, more especially on the criminal side of the docket. Six men were sentenced to the penitentiary for terms ranging from imprisonment for life to term of two years, while one man, for committing a petty larceny, was sentenced to lmprisonment jn the County jail for five minutes, and to pay a fine of five cents. Public interest was very much aroused as to the result of the case of the State vs. Conrad Schusler, charged with the killing of John Frederick, at Newburgh, in October of 1866. This was a cold-blooded murder, committed by breaking Frederick's skull with a hickory club; Schusler waylaying him at the door of his saloon about 11 o'clock at night, Col. Denby had been specially employed to assist in the prosecution and Major Hynes defended. The former insisted, with his usual ability, that it was a case for blood; while the latter, with his peculiar earnestness, urged the entire innocence of the accused. The jury, however, thought the evidence, which was entirely circumstantial, sufficient, and returned a verdict of murder in the first degree and imprisonment for life. , Wilcox and Neal were jointly indicted ior stealing three horses Wilcox pleaded guilty and was sentenced for two years. Neal pleaded not guilty and was tried mainly upon the testimony of Wilcox, who turned States evidence. The substance of Wilcox's statement was, that he was prevailed upon by Nealt who is an old villain, while Neal is young in crime, to steal three horses and run them to Kentucky, and the parties would divide the profits. The three horses were accordingly taken from the neighborhod of Uoonville and brought to an appointed rendezvous by Neal. One of the horses was taken from a young gentleman who ' was at the time engaged in. what the Hoosiers call a sparing expedition. Prosecutor Harerave appeared for the State, and I. S. Moore, Esq., for the "defense. , Moore icsisted that the testimony of Wilcox was entitled to no weight, he having been convicted of the larceny already, and making a very ingenious and severe argument. Ilargrave insisted that Neal had used .Wilcox as a cat's paw and was real!the principal in the stealing, and insisted that the jury should not permit - him to escape because he himself had X.A. A vr: l j v : l : i i . reany naa caused uis aownian. xnc ivirv Reemerl to 4 see it in this licht and returned a verdict ot imprison ment in State's prison for five years. Zacharia Miles hired a horse from Haney's livery stable, in Newbenr, to ride to his boarding house, half a mile in the country- but not returning at the appointed time, the owner of the horse became uneasy and pur sued. Upon inquiry he found that Miles had pone there, but had got his clothes and ridden in hot haste toward Kvansville. Haney continued his pursuit, and upon arriving at the Henderson Ferry tound that he had crossed into Kentucky at that point, and ultimately came up with the tfyief in possession of bis horse in Christian County, Kentucky. Miles showed previous good character, and o was only sent for four years. William Howard and William - Sailor e.irh wfinf; for two ; Trnrs fi.r larceny. , , .

Nevertheless we hope for" an increased majority by dint of hard- , fighting.; and .the popularity iof our ticket. But I must not omit to mention thetvent of the week Judge Parrett's lecture before the Teacher's Institute on last Friday night. It was certain- . ly one of the most scholarly and eloqueut efforts it has been our good fortune to hear in this quiet village. The speaker chose for his topic, "Education, and its Connection with Progress and Civilization." We had long , been ( aware that the Judge was a ripe' scholar and an extensive reader, but we were not pre - pared to find him so well adapted to the platform of the lecture-room. . .His resume of the '. progress of the "inventive faculty; of the perfection ! of poetry- , his ' eulogy qo Shakspeare and Milton; and his illustration of the progress made in Eng lish courts, from Taw to equity, were especially Cdc and produced anbounded enthusiasm among a really appreciative audience. I need not say that the Institute here was a success. We regard this as one of the best enterprises "of the day, and trust that all who have the interests of education at heart will see its importance. , Spectator: .- letter from Princeton, Ij. r. --pznifaoii- ky., Sepne; 'e?. . r Editors Journal " ' ' T AsI am lagain 'at leisure, I will, t null JVUt iiuiOBiwyi v ui m r minutes ia informing you of a grand

fudge that came off in our town today. On Saturday last posters' were stuck up all 'round town, calling for a grand meeting of the faithful here to-day, for the purpose of advancing and sustaining, theeJeJbratejI'P gress, that T was about to shuffle off this mortal' coil and die a natural death. The posters were signed by Col. W. II. Calvert and Maj. C. S. Gray, editors. By-the-way, a promotion for the latter sifice heJoined the rebel, party. Curiosity led; me, like many Mother Union men, over-tp; see what was going to be done. The

Colonel mounted the rostrum just as I arrived at the door. I took my stand, to listen to the Colonel argue in favor of the Progress. The Colonel" said they ere agoing to jerk the . . rigging.. , off , all Radical editors ' who might ' get the way of the Progress. Now, Sir, let me put you on your 'guard, for your have a 'Jerker after you now. Uut I must congratulate -the little -exeditor on his securing the services'of the Jat contributor to nis sheet, in the person ot Col. Calvert, who will add more wit to. the little i .thing than brains. Bat my business was such that I was compelled to leave, but "left my right-hand bower to report tbe speech ot the redoubtable :irlajor, He loomed out on the history of tbe Progress; but as that was short, he was soon- throHgh-with it. His next effort was his abuse of the Radicals, as he termed them. I was told that he. said " Democratic party" fifty seven times in his speech of just half an hour long. He seemed to be very much concerned because your excellent Journal has more circulation in this county than the Progress, and could only account for it on the ground of ignorance of the people. At this ,time a large number of his hearers left in good order, all of them being subscribers to the Journal, thinking that he was not very complimentary to them, at least minister who heard his speech (and by the way, one of his own party) said Mr. uray was like many youug con verts, he had been a little too zeal ous. He was tearful be would not hold out. Mr. Gray used some very hard language considering that it has been only a snort time since he was writing for the Louisville Journal, advocating tbo same principles that you do now. In the opinion of this community the ' paper has gained nothing by his connection with it, but he says it is a permanent institution now be has got hold of it. Oue ; more speech tfrom " Gravt will double your subscription in this coun ty. 1 here have aire ady been several subscribers obtained since his speech. lhe Union men are going to drop the Progress like hot cake3. 1 will now pay my last tribute of respect to the departed or " played out editor. I was told that he said that Amicus and McK. were both cowards, and that the first named did not live in Princeton. As for McK. he must take care of him self; I know nothing of him; but the most cowardly 1 ever telt in my lite was when his now bosom friends drove me from ' my home and pillaged nry home, took what they ; wanted r snd lett. As- to my place ot abode it is hereabouts. 1 see he has turned his whole attention to a clique, as he calls it, of five baldheads in this town. Now, sir, let me say for the benefit of the few that may see his two last editorials, on baldheads that do not know the reputation of the Progress and its celebrated head, that there '.is no such clique, and no man in the coun ty has the least idea.who he refers to. "'" ' - 1 Americus. "1 General Logan on the President. -"Major General Logan delivered a long and vigorous speech at Hamilton, Ohio", last week, in which, he arriiroe& the; iDemoeracy . for their cringes and infamy, and said of Andrew Johnson: . "Tell me to-dav if you had Jeff. Davis in the Presidential chair, of MraKoberfffEl Lee! could they have d6ne more for the rebels in this land than Andrew Johnson has since he has: been President?.. .If they could, I would like td know id 'what way "they could have done it. ,If Jeff. Davis had' been President, what would he have done? . He would have returned all the property to the rebels that they had lost. Andrew Johnson has done that. If Jeff, Davi3 had been' President he would have pardoned all the rebels that asked him for a pardon. Andrew Johnson has done that, and more too. If Jeff. Davis had been President he would have denounced this Congress and called them a set of traitors. Andrew Johnson has done that. If Jeff. Davis had been President he would hare appointed rebel Governors down South to control those States.' Andrew-Johnson did the same' thing. If "Jeff. Davis had been President he would have vetoed the Freedmen's Bureau bill. Andrew 'Johnson did that:" He" would' have vetoed the Civil Rights bill. Andrew Johnson did that. He . would . have vetoed the first Reconstruction act of Congress, and all the other acts, which, Andrew Johnson has done." Foreign Notes. The English Reform League has begun a series of meetings in Ireland. At the first, in u, on the 3d-inst., a letter was read from John Stuart Mill, in which he avows his conviction that Ireland's only hope of complete justice lies in the transferring of a large share of political power to daises who are not :under.ith infloeoo ; of landed or tburch: prejudices.

Garibaldi replied, ".We will go soon, and by all possible means to Rome, together or not at all.

THE

UXIOK PACIFIC. RAILROAD CO. The! r FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS " 1 . The rapid progress of the Union Pacific Railroad, now building west from Omaha, Nebraska, and forming, with its western connections, an unbroken line across th continent, attracts attention to the value of the First Mortgage Bonds which the Company now offe to the public The first question asked by prudent investors is, "Are these bdnds secure? n .Next, "Are they a profitable investment T" To rely In brief j 1 1 f I ,'. i f. I. If 1st. The early completion of the whole great line to tbe Pacific Is as certain as any future business event can be. The Gov eminent grant of 'over- twenty million acres of land and fifty million dollars In its own bonds practically guarantees it. One-fourth, of the work is. already done, and the track continues to be laid at the rate of two miles a day. 2d. The Union Pacific Railroad bonds are Issued upon what promises to be one of the most proatabio lines of raflroa.d in the country. For many years .It must be tbe only line connecting the Atlantic and Pacific;' and being without competition. It can maintain remunerative rates. - . 3d. -Four hundred and twenty-five miles of this road are finished, and fully equipped with depots, locomotives, cars, Ac, and two trains are daily, running .each way. The materials for the remaining ninety-two miles to the eastern base of the Rocky, Mountains are on hand, and it is under contract to be done In September, 4th. The net earning, of the sections already finished are teveral timet greater than the gold lute rent upon the First Mortgage Bonds upon such sections, and if not another mile ol the road were built the part already completed would not only pay interest and expenses, but be profit able to the Company. 5th. The Union Pacific Railroad bonds can be issued only as the road progresses, and therefore can never be in the market unless they represent a bona-flda property, 6th. The amount is strictly limited by law to a sum equal to what is granted by the U. S. Government, and for which it takes a second lieu as its security. This amount upon the flrnt 517 miles west from Omaha is only l(t,(0 per mile. 7th. Tbe fact that the U. S. Government considers a second lien upon the road a good Investment, and that some of tbe shrewdest railroad builders of tbe country have already paid in five million dollars upon the stock (which is to them a third lien), may well Inspire confidence In first lien. 8th. Although It Is not claimed that there can be any better securities than Governments, there are parties who consider a first mortgage upon such property as this the very best security In the world, and who sell their Governments to re-in vest In these bonds thus securing a greater Interest. 9th. As the Union Pacific Railroad bonds are offered lor the present at 90 cents on the dollar and accrued interest, they are tbe cheapest security in tbe market, being moie than 15 per cent, less than U. n. stocks. 10th. At the current rate of premium on gold, they pay Over Nine per Cent. Interest. The daily subscriptions are already large, aud they will continue to be received in New York by the CONTUKKNTAL, NATIOAI. BANK, ' ' ; No. 7 Nassau Street ; CT-Ark, Dodge A Co., Bankers, 5 Wall Street; John J.

They will also be sent by mail from tbe Company's office, No. 20 Nassau Street, New York, on application. Sub scribers will select their own Agents, In whom they have confidence, who alone willbe responsible to them lor the safe delivery of the bonds. (! '.,'.. JOHN J. CISCO, Treasurer, 'IS -?-"'?
