INDIANA NEWS.

THO Acton camp meeting commenced •yesterday. Tlio taxable property of Sholbyville is said to 91,050,000.

Tlio Rushvillo Republican savs We have a rumor on our streets, which seems to bo generally accepted as true, that work on tho Kast and West road has been suspended for four months in consequence of tho war in Europe.

A correspondent of the Indianapolis Journal, writing from Southern Indiana says: "New Albany is musing over another magnificent project. She proposes to make a big mill racc around JefFersonvillc along a swale, through which the water someties runs, entering the Ohio below. Now Albany giving a fall of forty feet, side cuts can be made along the streets of Xew Albany, giving her any desired amount of water power. The cost would bo onli/ two or three millions. They will be ready to go forward with the work so soon as tho money can bo raised.

A Democratic policeman of Fort Way no found a drunken man tlio other night, and not being certain as to his complexion asked: "Are you colored?" "Xo," answered tho mulatto "not colored I was born so."

The Uepubli'Miis of Jennings county have arranged lbr a mass meeting at North Vernon on the ISth inst. Senator Morton has accepted an invitation to bo present and dolivor an address. Other prominent .Republicans will also participate in the rally. Half faro arrangements havo been nuido with Hie railroads.

An old settlers' meeting was held at Mooresville, Morgan county, day before yesterday. It was a pleasant artair.

New Albany had seventy-five cases of sunstroko during the heated term. Senator Revels will lectuvo in Evansvillo on tho ISth inst.

Tho Evansville papers announce the death of John I). Roche, a banker of that city. Mr. Roche was just in tho prime of life, and was highly respected b%r all who knew him.

Mr. A. Lirt, a Gorman of Evansville, lias loft for Prussia. TTo goes to join the army.

A few days ago a man by the namo of IT. Loser assaulted and beat in a terrible manner, a small boy in Otville, lor which ho had to pay over £50, and ho has since been compelled to leave the placc.

At Atville, Piko county,last Saturday, a boy named Georgo Lacy was kickod in the head b3r a liorso and fatally injurod.

Tlio Worthington Times is informed that on Saturday last, the wife of Boon Ilinrnan, of Stockton township, poisoned herself by taking a small portion of strychniuo. No causo is assigned for the act. She leaves a husband and five children to mourn her loss.

The machinery for tho Holly Waterworks, at Laporto, will cost §32,000, and tho entire works when completed, will loot up about §100,000. South Rend is also talking of water-wotks.

Rov. James S. Green, the minister in •charge of the Baptist Church at Greensburg, Indiana, absconded a few nights ngo, taking with him §1,900, which ho had drawn from tho bank of that city upon bills of exchange endorsed by members Of his church, their signatures having been procured by means of forged promissory notes purporting to be on Wilson It. Cox of Baltimore, Maryland. The people of that vicinity are much excited over tho deception of this clerical hjrpoerite.

Tho upper Wabash Association of Univorsalists will meet at Lafayette on Friday of this week.

A SINGULAR CASE.—A few days ago Mr. J. J. Ligon, of Jackson, Miss., was seized with a pain in his right foot, which grew worse, until from the knee downward the leg became dead and apparently decaying. The disease is novel and the local physicians are at a loss to name it. Amputation has been determined on as the only means of saving the patient. He is in ceaseless pain except when relieved by powerful opiates. The development of the case is looked to with curiosity.

A PAPER gives the following reply to a correspondent: "There is no stated rule for writing love letters. You should write on foolscap paper, bear on as soft as you can, usin£ words of such burning love that they will, sizzle on the point of the pen. It is also advisable to sling in a bunch of pathos occasionally, such as 'Dearest

Augustus, I love you with a

love as large as an elephant's I thiuk of you every day, and by and by, when the days grow longer, I shall think of you twice a day.' I is also well enough to put an ink blot on the corner, with this observation, 'darling, I kissed this spot,' or, 'I hove a sigh in this vicinity."

THE New Albany Ledger says a dangerous counterfeit' fifty cent fractional currency note of the new issue of the Lincoln vignette, has just been put in circulation. It so closely resembles the fifty cent note of the new issue, that any one is liable to be deceived. The paper used is in imitation of that used by the Government, but is unlike the genuine, which is pink tinted. The counterfeit is greenish color, and the face is somewhat blurred. The words fractional and stamps are darkly shaded, which is not .the case in the genuine.

That Correspondence.

The

Journal

the

great

this morning committed

political blunder of copying into

its columns, from the Express, the able, dignified, and eminently diplomatic correspondence which has been progressing for several days between B. W. H., as the friend of D. \V. V., and L. A. B. as the friend of M.F. D. How the usually sharp editor of the- Journal became so obtuse as to sulfef this correspondence to find its way into the columns of his paper, we can hardly guess, unless by some mental perversion he supposed it was more in favor of the Democratic than the Republican party. That may be so, but it was intended to be a demolisher, and we can only account foe its appearance in the columns of a Democratic paper, that it goes in as au advertisement, paid for by the Republican Executive Committee. We protest, gentlemen, against the reckless expenditure of money—it is almost equal to building a wigwam.

But if the editor of the.Jb«/*na£hasnot been paid to transfer this precious diplomatic progeny to the columus of his -paper, then we protest against his stealing our thunder. Take it out, sir—it is our mutton. We make the campaign on the issues made up by this correspondence— and they are in our favor too. We fight the canvass out on this line. We have got you now. We have caught you napping and we have you on the hip. How can you escape such masterly strategy, Mr. Edmunds? This luminous correspondence is the objective point in tho fight, and we therefore, and consequently, object to you again using our thunder. Its publication in the Express, was strategy, my boy.

VOORHEES' ILLUSTRATIONS.— During Mr. Voorhees' speeches he is wont to mak" frequent illustrations of how the people are taxed, and here is one of them. He will start out by supposing that a man wan is to cat an egg. He takes it up in one hand, with a knife in the other, and breaks it. The knife with which he breaks the egg is taxed. He calls for a spoon, with which he proposes to scoop the meat from the shell. The spoon is taxed. He removes the contents of the shell into a glass. The glass is taxed. He calls for pepper, and the pepper is taxed, &c. A friend informs us that in a speech in Sullivan county, he made this illustration so forcible that it attracted the attention of one of the barefooted Democracy, who scratching his head, soliloquized thus: "By G—d, the Sullivan Democracy wont pay nary red of that tax." "How will you avoid it?" asked a bystander. "Easy enough. We'll suck the eggs."

TiiJ-] Journal, in an article entitled "The Whisky Theory," says that there are a few who believe that Democrats drink all the whisky, or words to that effect, and instances the following to upset that theory: •'Tuesday evening two drunken men camo careering along in a buggy by her residence, when she throw up her hands and exclaimed: "There, that Voorhees has been holding another meeting, and here comes two drunkards who have been attending it!" Just then one of tho couple bellowed out in a maudlin voice "Raw fr Dunn The lady turned pale with astonishment, and, on learning that the whisky bibbers were returning from the Dunn meeting at Tattle's Mills, nearly collapsed with mortification at the violent dissipation of her belief in tho antiwhisky tendencies of her Radical friends!"

We guess the fellows had gone to the speaking Voorhees men, and having been converted to Dunn men, had not yet time for reformation.

EVANSVILLE UNION.—We clip the following from the Evansville Journal yesterday: "Mr. Charles Schmidt, of the Union, went to Tcrro Haute last evening, to take subscriptions for that paper. The Germans of that city will find tho Union a staunch Republican paper, aad one that they will find interesting. Now that their Velksblait has proved a "flip flap" concern, they can do no better than to take tho Union."

We can endorse every word of the above in regard to the Union, and would say that if the German Republicans of this city, do not conclude to have published a paper at this place, they will find in the paper above named, a bold and determined advocate of the right at all times, and a paper that will give general satisfaction.

TIIE Mayor had but little in his court this morning. However,two impecunious "cusses," who were found with an extra load of "bomenickel," were "pulled" by the police "officers, and mulcted in the usual fine and costs, but having no fractional about their clothes, were set at liberty.

A chap who h^l not the fear of the law before his eyes, nor His Honor the Mayor either, had to pay $11.23 for an assault and batterv.

MARSHAL Whiteman and Jas. O'Mara took a trip yesterday to Sullivan to catch the thief who stole harness from Mrs. Griswold, and to secure the harness. They succeeded in the latter, but failed to catch the thief, who sold the harness for $20. The harness were worth $150. It is a great pity the rascal could not have been captured also.

PURCHASERS of dry goods will do well to cast their eyes over our advertising columns and see the houses that want to sell their goods. We can assure our readers that these houses whose advertisements they wiil find are selling fourfifths of all the goods sold in their line.

THE Journal says "The Police Board should smash the secret (police) system." Regular policemen have frequently complained that thieves and rascals escape because, on coming to the city, the first thing they do is to learn who the regular policemen are, and how to avoid them.

MANY of the trees on the south side of Sixth street, north of Main, have died since the Congregational Church was struck by lightning, and it is supposed by some that the escaping of gas has so affected the roots of the trees as to cause them to die.

Resolved, That we adhere with undiminished confidence and pride to the party, that by its wisdom and courage preserved the Union, and by a change in the organic law of the Republic established, liberty and equality. We believe that by the continued ascendency of the Re publican party will be secured the success of a free government, that it is the safeguard of the Constitution, the promotion of education, order, industry, thrift, universal freedom and equal rights-

Resolved, That we congratulate the country on the success of the present Administraiion, which has, without increase of taxation, reduced the National debt over $160,000,000 by an honest and eco nomicai collection and administration of the revenues, and a large reduction of the expenses of the Government and we especially congratulate the country on the fact that this policy has made it possible to reduce the internal revenue and tariff duties $80,000,000, thus relieving the people of their burdens to that extent without imperiling the nation's fair honor.

Resolved, That a tariff for revenue is indispensible, and should be so adjusted as to be the least prejudicial to the industrial and producing interests of any class or section, while securing to the home producer a fair competition against the foreign producer.

Resolved, That a change of our navigation laws be made, so as to admit of the registration of vessels purchased abroad, is demanded by the best interests of the country, and that such action would largely contribute towards the restoration.

The Fastest Time on Record. The great race at Saratoga, New York, on Monday, July 25, in which General Duke made his mile in 1:43]—the fastest time on record, beating Herzog's time at Cincinnati by one-quarter of a second— is thus reported to the New York Sun:

In the betting Payne was the favorite two to one over Duke (Judge Curtis,) and as even and six to seven against the field, and five to two against General Duke, to ten to one against Sandford, and twenty to one against each of the others.

There was no expectation of a great race. The small attendance of the meeting showed no high interest. Even the betting evinced that all believed that Payne must win. He was as two to one to General Duke who had so splendidly won last week. There was a recollection of the speed of Payne last year, when he beat so many fast ones, and among them the General himself. Yet it was to be and was seen. It is difficult to give to a race where one horse leads all through, that interest in description which viewing excites, and a race less fast from contest and struggle may be more exciting, but it is ever something pleasant to see done what was never done before. In marshalling the horses for the start, Gen. Duke lay outside, and took his place inside. When the flag fell to the start, Palmer on him made play at a great stride for the lead and tho inside track, outfooting all. He got both, and at the first of the turn led a length, making the gait a rattling one. Short and quick was the word with him. Payne was off next him, and Sanford was third, lapped on Payne. They made a rally at once, and at the middle of the turn had lapped the Duke, and lay beside him. Tied to each other they swept the turn and were still yoked at the quarter. But their pace was too hard, and Duke had a reserve for entering the back straight stretch he dropped both Payne and Sanford, and led ail down the stretch a couple of lengths. The pace was immense at this stage Harbinger and Archibald were beaten off, and were falling away fast, but the gray filly Flash was .staying up well. The half mile pole was gained and no change made away round the turn the Duke flew with still his strong lead, giving no respite to his foes.

At the middle of the fair turn Sandford, lapping Payne, made a rally, and in a dozen yards had passed him and was up to Duke, who was now in hand, but still at a great pace. Just then Flash was brought out, and made a run and got to Payne, Duke leading a length or more all the rest were lapped on one another. All were prepared for the final rally and a great struggle up the home stretch. Entering it, Sandford came forward, and in a dozen strides had headed and shaken off the favorite Payne. At the same moment Flash rallied', drew out and passed Payne. The final moment had come. There were but fifty rods to the goal and it was who could stand the pace and last the longest but a glance told that Duke Was the most at ease. A dozen strikes killed Flash off, and Payne got back third again. Away they flew, but Sandford and Payne could not get to Duke-, and home he went a rattling winner by a length, Sandford second, Payne third, and Flash fourth. The other two were badly beaten. Time 1:43

J. A shout

rent the air as the suspense of the final moment was ended, and a hum of admiration swelled on the breeze as the time and numbers went up to tell of the best ace America had ever witnessed.

Kew York.

NEW York, August 10.—A special caWe dispatch from London savs that Metz speaks in the most undisguised way of the calam-ious and fabulous incapacity of ihe Empe-'or. Ma rshal Lc Bceuf and all the military daod/escomprising the militatv staff of the army, have utterly lost the confidence of the army, and a change of command was an absolute necessity to prevent mutiny.

All this while there is no official news whatever of the whereabouts of the Prussian army, and, under the circumstances no news is bad news.

It is stated that General McMahon wanted, some four days before the battle, to fire the forests in his front, through which the German forces came down unexpectedly upon the French, but the Emperor declined to authorize the step.

M. Le Favre, editor of the Soir, who has arrived in Paris from Forbach, says he witnessed the entire destruction of Frossard's corps, and claims to speak for 30,000 French soldiers who were cut to pieces by the fault of their leaders, and who said with their latest cry they fell uselessly.

The universal cry of the army, M. Favre says, is, "Give us Generals that we can trust."

The Soir was hitherto the Government paper, but it now attacks the Ministry for clinging to power and augmenting the garrison of Paris, when every soldier is wanted on the frontier. It further says: Every soldier now be'e is an insult to us, if you are incapable of saving your country.

A correspondent writes from Paris, late on Monday evening, the 8th From what I hear of the feeling, both of the people and the army, I think it more than probable that Napoleon will never re-enter Paris. The ai my is sick of his amateur generalship.

Tho statement of the secret alliance between France and I'aly, and the expected reinforcement of one hundred thousand Italian troops, is certainly false. No matter what the King may have promised, his troops would not march.

St. Lonis.

S c. Lotus, August 10.—A considerable number of millers and shippers of this city have taken preliminary steps to organize an association to secure low and uniform rate on railroad freight to the East and south, and protect themselves against arbitrary action on the part of railroad companies. Much interest is felt in the movement, and the association promises to very strong in point of numbers.

The President spent a quiet day, transacting piivate business, and this evening went to South St. Louis. He will probably meet the merchants on 'change tomorrow, he having been invited to do so by a committee appointed by the President of the Merchant's Exchange.

To-morrow evening he will be waited on by a committee of prominent Irishmen who will solicit the pardon of General O'Neil and other Irishmen now in prison for violation of the neutrality laws.

The Dominion.

HALIFAX, August 10.—At a special meeting of shareholders of the Bank of Nova Scotia, to-day, a statement was submitted showing the defalcation of James Fovman, Cashier, in the amount of $320,000. His property has been tiansfierred to the bank. It is estimated at $195,000.

The loss will sweep away all the surplus assets aad $8,000 of the capital stock. The bank is still quite solvent, but confidence in it is shaken.

Washington.

WASHINGTON, August 10.—Itear Admiral Lee lias been ordered to the Nortn Atlantic fleet.

The names of the new army board will be officially arrounced to-morrow, and will act upon applications of officers to be relieved, under the recent act of Congress. One hundred and fifty cases will be brought before the board.

An official telegram from London announces the exchange and ratification of the naturalization treaty with Great Britain.

FRANCE.

After the session of the Corps Legislatif last evening, the deputies were unable to pass the Pontioncorde, because of the great crowd collected on the Place de la Concorde.

Ollivier has lived at a private residence during the last three days, instead of occupying the official palace.

The Princess Clotilde and children have returned from Weudon to Paris. This morning all the correspondents of Paris journals, for whose safety fears were entertained, arrived from the frontier, excepting De Katow, of the Gaulois, who is still missing.

The Senate will reassemble to-day at nine o'clock, to vote on the proposition made yesterday in the Corps Legislatif.

The Corps Legislatif will discuss projects for the safety of the State. Deputy Keoratry proposes calling out under arms, and ready to tate the field at a moment's notice, of all unmarried men of the military classes of 1858, '59, '60, '62 and '63.

A dispatch from Bo is says the editors of the Cloche and Marseillaise who were prosecuted on the charge of publishing a false statement, will be acquitted.

A number of French newspaper correspondents who arrived to-day are wounded. In their accounts of the battle they

IlilllSII

testify to the wonderful bravery of the French troops, and particularly the African corps, who fought for eight hours against overpowering odds.

Abbe Buorou, chaplain of McMahon's corps, was killed at Worth, while helping the wounded.

Contrary to all previous reports, it is now stated that the Prince Imperial is still at Metz.

In the Corps Legislatif, to-day, the project of Deputy Kearty for calling under arms all unmarried men of the classes of 1859 to 1864, inclusive, was extended to embrace all men from the ages of 25 to 35, who are not married, and not already members of the Garde Mobile.

A project for armament was presented by the Government and adopted, with the addition of the proposition offered by Kearty, as previously amended, and with a further special article voting the thanks of the Corps Legislatif to the army, which merits much from the nation.

La Libertie mentions a number of arrests by the Government, including Gaillard, pere.

It is stated that Jerome David will accept the portfolio of the Interior in the new Cabinet.

GREAT BRITAIN.

LONDON, August 10.—General Dumont will take command of a division in the French army.

Of the Seventy-seventh regiment of the line, engaged at Saarbruck, only eighty men and four oflcers reported after the fight.

There has been nothing received here from France, either by post or telegraph, since half past three o'clock P. M., yesterday.

The result of Saturday's fighting is generally attributed to the Emperor's military incapacity.

The Prussian advance was obstructed by villages filled with French wounded. The French losses exceed all estimates.

The Prussians took multitudes. Edmund About has been reported as missing for the past three days.

General Changaruier's interview with the Emperor Nopoleon was very satisfactory.

King William is at Kisertenbrach. Both armies were quiet yesterday. The French are concentrated around Metz.

The Due d'Aummale has offered his services to the Emperor. There is a rumor here that the Prince Imperial will be at the French Embassy in London, to-day. Other reports assert that he has already arrived there.

The Prince Imperial of France has arrived in London, and is now at the French Legation in charge of W. F. Smith, the Emperor's confidential agent. Smith also brought the Empress Eugenie's jewels and valuables, and the famous diamonds of the Duke of Brunswick.

The Prussians, as they advance, dis cover that the losses of the French in the recent battles were frightful exceeding even the most extravagant estimates.

PRUSSIA.

BERLIN, August 10.—All rumors of a naval battle heretofore circulated are false.

The opera house in this city has been given up to the ladies sewing society for hospital purposes. The building is now nearly filled with wounded men.

Bankers decline a Prussian war loan, but they subscribe for it freely. Prussian officers and soldiers think slightly of the effectivenass of the Mitiailleures, but believe the Chassepot is a better weapon than the neetlle gun.
