S.4 FOSUSHRD BY THB S i A!" i TILL" JOrUXAL (J0&FA3Y, So. O Socrmt Rtreet, Evanvill. i I MONDAY. ..-..NOVEMBERS!), IstSJ AVe are indebted to Mr. Robert Boyd for some interesting particulars cf the workics of the Ilclly Water Works sy.3te:n, which be recently saw in operation at Kalamazoo, Michigan, and for a pamphlet civics the details of the plan on which the system is ba3.- 1. We shall notice it more at length hereafter. Tn: Democratic papers we believe the Sentinel started the canard aro charging Mr. BonwiiL with suppressing tbc reports cf Treasurer Spinner lecauso tie latter do not agree witl bis monthly statements. This is only one of the many instances, to which we have often called attention, of presumption of ignorance on the part cf their readers by the Democratic cress. Intelligent readers know that Mr. Spinner is not required to make his reports separately. He submits them to Mr. Botjtwell in order that the latter may make up his monthly statement?, in which they are incorporated. Tbis last dodge of the Democracy to invalidate the correctness of Mr. Boutwell's monthly showings won't in. What next? The Boole Ct'Dcern Report. In the Journal of Friday we published, without comnunt, the report of the committee appointed to investigate the reported frauds in the managjment of tho Methodist Book Concern, at New York... We need hardhr say that by many members of that church the report is regarded as altogether unsatisfactory. Somo indignantly call it a ''whitewashing report." A correspondent of. tho Indianapolis Journal sharply ; criticises the report of the committee, item by item, and adds: "'. All the trouble that lies bid behind the vague generalities of the resolutions ia to be buried under the clos ing assurance that no general dishonesty is to bo imputed to the management. And tbis is given to the Church as the result ot a serious investigation by business men into the business atT-iirs of its greatest establishment. Will Brother Raw lins, for the satisfaction of the mem ber3 of the Church, consent to fur cish full and explicit information tinon the real topics involved in his investigation? If thero has been wicked conduct, an honest exposure of the cuiitv Dorsoa3 clears ud the honor of all others who might bo sus pecteJ, and vindicates th3 integrity of the coramittco as well. Any other course only excites further suspicion and increases tho number of tho suspected. ' Supreme Court Decision. The following decision of the Supreme Court, rendered on Wednesday, is important as fixing the limits cf the jurisdiction of tho State of Indiana on the Ohio River: Carlisle and another vs. The State. Posey Circuit Court. Affirmed. Ray, Judge. . The defendants were indicted in the Spencer Circuit Cou-t for murder. The case was taken to Posey County on a change of venue, w hero they were convicted on a plea of not guilty. The offense having been committed on tho Ohio River, outside the territorial limits cf Spencer County, but opposite thereto, it was claimed that the indictment charging tho offense to have been committed "ia tho county of Spencer" was not sustained by evidence, showing it to have been committed on tho river, beyond low-water mark on the Indiana shore ; since tho actual boundary line between that Stato and Kentucky is at low water mark on tho Indian side. It has already been decided by the Supreme Court, that by the Revised Laws of Virginia, vol. 1, page 59, and by article 14, section 2, of tho Constitution of Indiana, the several counties bordericg on the Ohio River Lave jurisdiction of all offences committed against the penal laws of the State opposite said counties respectively. The Court now decide, upon that ground, that the allegation in tho indictment that the offence was committed in Spencer County ," is sustained ly evidence that the crime was committed on the Ohio River at a point opposite Spencer County. This case grew out of tho killing of a Union man, oa tho Ohio River, during the war, by Kentucky rebels j.ne rew xors. &un mates some Btatement3 in regard to the Invcsti gating Committee, that will have i tendency to create greater distrust than ever in the membership of the church. It says: lne lioot Committee have Decn m session in this city fourteen days, and the Sub-Committea six weeks. Many prominent paper dealers of the city were called before tha committees They testified that they would have sold paper s't le?9 rates than vrere paid by the Book Concern's agents, and one firm declared that they had sold tho Concern $175,000 worth of paper, on which they had paid a commission of from 2J to 7 per cent, to the young man who is a relative cf one of the managers. The gsod old man, Dr. Porter, says that his son did sell to Mr. Goodenough, as tho agent of tho concern, large supplies of paper, and that, to test the price, the Doctor used frequently to inquire in Philadelphia and Boston, when he was called to those rlace3 on business, tho value of certain qualities which ho had carried with him, and he found no substantial difference in prica, but thought he was buying as low as ao7 of hi3 noighbors. This opinion is not very valuable, tho Doctor not beicg an expert, and tho Philadelphia and Boston houses not expecting to sell to him. Mr. Hoffman, tho binder, who is said to be implicated ia 20,000, declares his innocence- before (Jod, and says that ho could, if tho books were in hii possession. show his entire innocenco. It is simple justice to say that his deficiencies have been arrived at by finding where he took the property of the Concern and sold it. Tho committee havo passed a supplementary resolution which wiil, it is supposed, restrain tho evil passions of human nature, and particularly those of tho officials of tho Book Concern. It enlarges ia general terms on the necessity of being careful in business, and does not desiro sny further purchases to bo made on commission. ' But the committee have done noth lug really to prevent a repetition ot the late offenses; they ask for no"'

Doso no periodical inspection of their 1

: books by any one really competent ' and disinterested, and able to take j enough time to do the work thoroughllv: and thpv do not think that the

choice of theso persons should be made from among laymen trained to business. We suspect that Bro. Rawlins, Chairman of tho Investigating Committee, who has always been a warm advocate for lay delegation, ha3 furnished in his report a stronger argument in behalf cf that measure of reform, th-n he has-ever been cb'e to present heretofore. Certainty his report i3 not a satisfactory business document Communicated. "Newspapers." Our's is an Encyclopedia Age, in which one is expected to know something of everything. But the age no mors imperatively demands knowledge, than it demands money. Science itself is only tributary to material enjoyment. But to reconcile the pursuit of knowledge with the pursuit of money to bring tho vast range of modern thought within a ccmpaw possible for the survey of minds by no means the most active, or tuo most enterprising is a feat whose" achieve ment was reserved for our . day. The newspaper is the instrument of ita ac corn dish merit, lhe ancients knew nothing of newspapers that i3 to say nothing of them in tho 6enso in which a modern understands them. as a relaxation from the fatigues of sraver Dursuits as well as sourca cf lniormaiion oa hULjecis, ina must, subtle and the most recondite Their pubiio life meetings at the bath, at n . 1 ' . 1 1 L the cvmnasium, at the iorum, at the bookseller's shon superceded the use. and to Boma extent obviated tho necessity ot newsr arers. journalism has grown out of a want of the mod ern mind. JJOwn to a lime nowar removed from our own. knowledge was the property ot the ncn and iho learned few. Until long into the eighteenth century, literature was the slave of patronaee. Men ot geniu3 toiled tor oreaa in me service oi party. Their writings but reflected tho narrow aims ct selSsh politicians, and the corrupt arts ct intriguing courtiers, riot was he, who cad talent of . clcsant satiro and brilliant wit. and who did not scruple to turn it to account, in the employment c: Ui3 ambitious masters, without his re ward. Dryden, tho ablest satirist . cf his time, was tho ioore3t raid of all Addison got a good office for writing tolerable poetryand a better one for writ'ng nrst-rata prose, fawns was made Dean of St. Patrick's, and might have been a Bishop had he no beet a Tory, and a most invelo rate hater. Besides, on Eubjects, other than political, these men seemed to have no feeling in common with the bodvot the people no bread views cf duty to humanity. The applause of the headset powertul families sat isfled their ambition ; the little circle of somo favorits coffee-house filled tLo measure of their sympathies. It is. perhaps, not too much to say, that Mr. Addison, in tha composition of bis elegant essays ior the spectator and the Householder had tho massrs of the English people as little in his mind as Mr. Dickens might be sup posed to have had a tribe of wanderma lartars or tne lanaoitants oi Kamschatka when he wrote "Bleak House," or " Barnaby Ha4ge." The tendency long manifested itself to populariza knowledge to bring it to a level with the general apprehension. At last it broke through tfco bounds oi class and privi lege. Journalism, through it3 macy phases, has contributed its full share to this result. JNcwpapers, lor many years, in JjCgiaod ana on tho tontmeat too much so still were devoted to the publication of court gossip and to accounts ot foreign ailairs. Domestic matters of a pol'tical cr religious character were littles discussed at least not in a broad and tolerant spirit. 1 ne old newspaper men wcra mere hacks, with some talent, without taste, for the mo3t part without principle, the circled whoso ideas was bounded by tho details of party intrigue, and whoao pens were dipped in gall. Of this class wero the L'Eitrange, the Birkenhead;?, and perhaps Hcylin himself, the ablest of them all, wa3 not free from the suspicion cf prostituted talents and corrupt practices. No one went then to the weekly periodicals for information. No writer cf real eminence wrote for them. Such men as Milton, Harrington and Locke found expression for their ideas of civil and religious liberty in treatises, which, notwithstanding their wealth of thought, and in the case cf Milton, spiendcr oi diction, now attract no readers except tho curious, or those whose business it is to put older and better thoughts than their own into a new and more popular form. Since these days a great change has been wrought. The man of genius does not now, as in days gone by, like poor Johnson, stand waiting for a smile cf favor at somo lordly patron's doer, or sacrifice his independence for the crumbs of bread that fall from the rich man's table. It is the million who now rea J, and who pay for what they read. And by consequence journalism is a power in tho world. The daily and weekly newspapers call forth expression on every variety of subject, and solicit every grade of tal . mi i . ent. .ice man wno can tut write a paragraph, and the man who can write a book, find here an appropriate channel through which to reach the public attention. Mark Twain tells the world some wholesome truths under a semblance of nonsense, and Mr. Greeley gives us a lecture on Political Eocncmy ia the same issue of tha Tribune. Beside the column of Ecacdal, is found the account of the recent scientific discovery, and side by siJo with the insidious hints cf skepticism is found tho zealous de fense of tho tenet3 and practices of the old faith. Nearly all the sreat writers of thi century have maintained an intimate connection witn tee pul;o press. Mr. bhcridan said his smart things through, the Momma Chronicle, and Mr. Fox is reported not to havo been snaring ot ins lavors to tno same journal. Mr.Diekcns gained his fiist laurels on the Lrv.t tsun. Uld Ked Sand ctone, Hugh Miller a greatest woTk.was originally given to the world through the columns of the "Witness me orsan of the Scottish " Fre Church." .Mr. John ctuart Mill is frequent coatributor to tho Morni Vtironiclc on subjects connected with his peculiar studies. Thack cray toiled for years like any " Bohemian" for the leading journals until he brought the world to his feet, by the Brilliant success of "Vanity Fair." . Tho splendid speculations of Coleridge, tho quaint, decant humor of Larabe, tho robust. ! comprehensive intellect of Macintosh served to instruct and delight the - ! readers 81 wen as iu raise iu me : hichest pitch of reputation th Morning Test. American journalism

fr.im t.1G first

was illustrated by the best writers of the Republic Dewey, Bryant, . Y lilis and ALorns may bo mentioned among those who have honored the press of their native

'land. To the influence of the press, it

might be shown, that the pulpit has been shorn of much of its efficiency, and tnat oratory in general has become one cf the lost arts. Mr. Beecher is much better known to the country as contributor to the Ledger and the Independent than as pastor of Plymouth Church. To one or two journals is due the credit of the great social changes through which we are now passing, rather than to the combined influence cf all the orators, lay and divine, from Massachusetts Bay to Saa Franeiseo. In short, newspapers preach and ecturc, gossip and slander; gratuy the curiosity of youthful love, and eed the fires of malicnant passion: make us ccauainted with the . truths it cnienee. and accustom us to the ab etractions ot philosophy, liere, too, meet upon the same ground the lavor ite of the Muses and tne represeatativr3 cl sordid calculation; nere ao battle the aroloeist of old theories and the confident rropounder cf new ones: and here. too. our minds a familiarized with the true policy of nations, and the true means ot attain inz the end of the social organization, long beiore tney enter into me schemes of legislation or awaken tne statesman from his self-complacent dreams. ' ' ' ' lv LEIIfcll FROM 5KW ALBANY. Municipal Rivalry Manufacture! liotr riate uiass is iiaae, &c. New Albany, Not. 25. 1SG0. tdltors Journal : . . - There has been a brief let up o those "melancholy days" in "the saddest of the year" -which have been the order of anairs tor the last six or seven weeks. We have had sunshine for nearly a whole day, and tha lesul is, people look a little more bright an: cheerful. I feel tho effect myself, and, having spare nau hour, conclude to bestow it upon -your readers, giving them a few item3 touching this City o.. the Palis." . Ever since I can remember there has been a petty newspaper war car ried on often I have thought for the nocco ot it between this city ana Evansviile. Twenty vcar3 ago, which 13 as long as I can remombcr, New Albany was considerably affected with enormity ot the head, and it threat eced not only to possess ail alon shore" on this tide of the river, but possibly, the other side also, as fo example, taking, away the trade of Louisville. Property at that time was wonderfully inflated, and then the bubble burst, and not a few who had been bold dealers ia it lost largely, and things were at a stand-stiil. But, looking at our two cities in Indiana, I feel like saying, with our great chieftain, " Let us have peace " let E. and N. A, wave to each other the olive branch. New Albany is learning her true policy.. She cannot, like Evansviile, become an important commercial city. Louisville, in this respect,, is not only overshedowine her. but is going to "eat her up." Her true policy is manufactures, and her capitalists aro beginning to accept it. one has a vast capital thus invested. . There are three articles of icanaacture that are worthy ot cotewoolen, iron and glass. . I sao by the paper this mornmsr that the New Albany Woolen Works" have just received a beautiful bronze medal for the Lett textile fabrics manufactured at tho West. It came from Cincin nati, and was awarded at the exhibition hell there in August last. Besides several foundries, there are two rolling mills. The "Falls City Iron Works commenced some tew years ago, comcicing witn tae roiling ot iron the manufacture of nails. OiUDg to the demand tor the hrst, the manufacture of nails has been suspended for the past year, but I understand that they are rigging up improved machinery, and in a little while will furnish ono of the best articles in tho market, and in immense quantities. The other works are giving special attention to railroad iron. It was here that the longest rails ever rolled in the country were turned out, and were exhibited in the late procession connected with the Commercial Convention at Louisville. Occwastwen-ty-S3ven leet long, tho other thirty feet. Bat it is in glau that Now Albany is ta&mg tne ieaa ot tne wnoie west. There are two of tacse now. Great advantage is had here in finding, oa the New Albany and balem Kailroaa, one ct tne nnest qualities ot sand in the world. I heard a citizen say, a few days ago, that it would not be more than three years till New Albany would make sales in glass alone to the amount of three millions of money. I sei by tho morning paper that Mr. Ford, of the "State Glas3 Works," has published notice that under no circumstances will visitors bo permitted to visit the works. This will be a great disappointment to many, as they have just commenced tho manufacture of plate glass. Your humble servantcan congratulate himself on having been permitted to see the first plate of glass (succes tuny) rolled west ot tne moun tains. Attempts were made, years ago, both in Pittsburg and St. Louis, but both tailed. The process is so simple, and yet so beautiful, that I cannct help describing it. An immense table 12 feet by 6 of solid iron, weighing somo twenty-seven tons, and planed as smooth as a drawing room table is necessary. The melted glasa, in crucibles holding fully a half barrel each, is then brought to " whito heat." The furnace door being open, a huge pair of clasps upon wheels, embraces cne of these, brings it out, setting it upon aa iron pedestal, from which other iron clasps, swinging from a derrick, lift it up to the iron tablo and it is poured out just before a massive iron roller, somo eighiC2n or twenty inches in diameter, which rolls tee slightly fluid biess of white glass about as gently, steadily and easily as a woman rolls out her pie paste. As the roller paascs the whole surface spots and glistens as if half dollar pieces wero inlaid; then the bus rapidly changes to dark scarlet, when the huge plate is transferred (by sliding it) to a huge truck, on which it is wheeled to tha tempering furnace, into which it is transferred by the same sliding motion. Here it is kept for seven days, the heat cf the furnace beicg gradually reduced until entirely cooled, when the plate (whieh may bo tnuti i.a.i -u iutu iuick or an inch and a half, as they choose to make it) is first ground by the a jtion of wheels or stones working horizontally, and then poiished into its perfect smoothness. With all this time and . labor, no wonder that plate glass, such as aro found of huge size in our elegant store-windows, is bo expensive. But I must stop. The days of New Albany's improvement and growth ia wealth are at hand. Yours, M.
