How to Build Up Tcrre Haute The New Albany Legder has a very sensible article on "How to Build up New Albany," and as it applies with equal force to the city of Terre Haute, we take pleasure in transferring it below, to the columns of the GAZETTE "It is the true interest of every one to encourage the mechanic, manufacturer, merchant and tradesman in his own town, city, and village. He who will not do so manifests but little regard for the prosperity of the place where he lives. The man, or woman who invariably makes purchases abroad should look abroad also for employment and for his or her particular line of occupation. In order to build up and add to the size and prosperity of a place, the citizens thereof must support and encourage each other. The property holder will thus be benefitted by the advance of value of his possessions, the mechanic by the erection and improvement of stores and dwellings, and the laborer by the increasing demand for his services. If every one should go abroad to make his purchases, trades of all kinds would be dull at home, business languish, men would have no work, the grass would grow in our streets and only the wealthy would have any money in a short time to purchase anything, either at home or abroad. While it may be considered the duty of every resident to purchase from merchants at home, it is emphatically a duty the latter owes the prosperity of the town in which he lives to sell at such figures as may prevent the purchaser from being forced to seek a sup ply abroad. The very worst enem3r a town can have is an incompetent mer chant. Such a man does not know how to buy, and is therefore unable to to enter into successful competition with outsiders at small profits. To encourage and make a good living at small profits. To encourige each other is the way to live and prosper at the same time it is incumbent upon each and every one to conduct trade in such a way as to command home support and encouragement.

It is an admitted fact that a well conducted, enterprising newspaper, is the greatest auxiliary to the prosperity of any town or city. Such a newspaper keeps constantly and prominently before the publicall the advantagesof its town— its manufacturing, mechanical, mercantile, educational, religious, and other enterprises—thus attracting public attention to it in such mariner as cannot otherwise be done. But to enable such a newspaper to live and prosper, and to accomplish its part successfully in forwarding the prosperity of its town or city, there must be a liberal spirit of enterprise shown by the business men of all classes toward it. They owe it to such a paper to give it their advertisements and job printing and if they refuse to do so, they have no right to ask or expect its publishers to devote its columns to the promotion of their enterprises.

It is a noted fact that in those towns and cities where the manufacturers, mechanics and merchants are liberal advertisers, that trade is always brisk, and prosperity marks the course of business in all its departments. The men who advertise derive, in the long run, by far, more benefit from their advertisements than any other class. It pctys them, and pays them largely. It is the advertisements of a newspaper that go the farthest to support it and enable it to be enterprising. These facts are worthy the consideration of the business men of

Torre Haute.

The Orleans Family.

The younger branch of the House of Bourbon, known as the Orleans Family, was represented on the throne of France by Louis Phillippe. from his proclamation by the Chambers, August 9, 1830, until iiis abdication, February 4, 1848. The "Citizen King," at the latter date, went into exile as Count de Neuilly, and died at Claremont, in England, August 26, 1850, iu the 77th year of his age. His widow, daughter of Ferdinand I., King of the Two Sicilies, married November 25, 1809, died at Claremont, March 24, 18(i6, aged nearly 84 years. Of their six children, the eldest, Ferdinand, Duke of Orleans, Prince Royal, born September 3, 1810, died July 13,1842. He was married, May 30, 1837, to Helene, daughter of Frederick Louis, hereditary Prince of Mecklenburg-Schwerin. She died May 18, 1859.

The Prince Royal left two sons, the eldest of whom, on Louis Pliillipe's ab-. dication, became the direct heir to the throne in the right of the Orleans dynasty. His full name is Louis Phillippe Albert, Count de Parie. He was born August 24, 1838, and married May 30, 1864, his cousin Marie Isabelle, daughter of the Due de Montpensier, youngest son of Louis Phillippe. He has resided for some years at Twickenham, in England. His brother Robert, Due de Chartres, was born November 9,1840, and was married June 11, 1863, to nis cousin, daughter of the Prince de Joinville, third son of Louis Phillippe. His residence is Ham, England.

The second son of the "Citizen King," Louis Due deNemoens, born Oct. 25,1814, married the Princess Yictorine, daughter of the late Prince Ferdinand of SaxeCoburg and Gotha, and has two sons, the Count d'Eu, Marshal of the Brazillian army, and the Due d'Alencon, Captain of Spanish artillery, and two daughters.

The third child of Louis Philippe, is the Princess of Orleans, born June3,1817, and married in 1844 to'August, Prince of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, and Duke of Saxe.

The Prince (le Joinville, Francis, third son and fourth child of Louis Philippe, was born August 13, 1818, and married a daughter of the late Pierre I, Emperor of Brazil. They have two children—a daughter, as we have seen, married to the Due de Cliartres, the second in a direct line of the Orleans family and a son, Pierre, Due de Benthienrh, who is Lieutenant in the Portugese navy.

The Due d'Aumale, Henry, the next son ot Louis Phillipe, was born January 16,1822, and married November 25, 1844, Caroline, daughter of the late Leopold, Prince de Saderne, of Scily.

The youngest son of the deceased Orleans King is Antoine Due de Montpensier, born July 31,1824, and married October 10, 1846, to Louise, a Spanish Princess, sister of the late Queen Isabella II. He is a Captain General in the Spanish army, and resides in Seville. Since the last revolution in Spain, he has been prominently before the public, being proposed for tlie vacant throne. All will remember his duel with the Bourbon Prince Henry, in which that unfortunate scion of dethroned royaly, also a candidate for the crown, was killed.

CHICAGO, August 23.—The terrible spectacle of a headless and armless body of a man was found alongside the track of the Illinois Central Railroad this morning. A paper, upon which was written the name J. J. W.- O'Donohue Editor of the National Insurance Chronicle, was found in his pocket and a messenger started to inform the family of the unfortunate man, when he met Mr. O'Donohue, alive and well. The circumstances was explained by the fact that O'Donohue's house was entered by burglars some days ago, and the papers carried off. The deceased was probably one of the burglars.

Thomas Morton, a painter, was found dead in a room where he was at work today. His little daughter went to his room to give him his dinner and found a I 5

NEW YORK, August 23.—A Paris special to the Evening Post, contains the following:

PARIS, August 23.—A great many prizes have been arranged by the French War Department, in order to encourage gallantry. Some of them are said to be very valuable.

The Paris journals blame Prince Napoleon for leaving France. On his return here, it was supposed that he had been on a mission to King Victor Emanuel, but the report to that effect which was made public a few days ago, is denied. V? fW

The Archbishop of Paris, has directed the Clergy to contradict the report that the Pope has felicitated with the King of Prussia.

A large number of Prussian spies were arrested here to-day. The Times, to-day, exhorts the French people to consider what the attempt to defend Paris must cost.

The fortifications of Luxembourg have been raised. There is a rumor on Wall street that a pool has been formed on quite an extensive

scale,

and further that the pool com

menced buying Friday last and up to the present time has bought about seven millions, including some large amounts purchased on the break in the market on Saturday afternoon, as well as at the opening Monday and Tuesday, and the story further runs that the financial capacity is fifteen million, and that arransremedts have been made to withdraw considerable gold from market.

This auspicious movement is said to be caused by the heavy shipment of specie since the war broke out in Europe, amounting in the aggregate to twentyfive millions. The heavy outflow of gold, in connection with that absorbed by the Treasury in the payment of customs, has made cash gold very scarce for delivery in the daily operations of the gold room. The present state of affairs strongly in favor of the Bulls in every direction, and the clique have everything in their favor to assist them in carrying out their plans.

The specials and a Paris private dispatch, reports a great revulsion of feeling in France, and that the belief is widely prevalent through the Empire that from this time the whole course of the war will be changed. Many believe that the Prussians will be driven over the Rhine before three weeks.

The losses of the Prussians is said to exceed in killed and wounded 20,000, and all the Corps engaged in the late battles are frightfully cut up. AxumX'-i't&if

A special dispatch to the London Telegraph says the Prussians haV6 tor the first time since the breaking out of hostilities, become doubtful of success that a grand French victory will demoralize all the forces in the field. The Germans insist that when official advices are received the extravagant stories of the French will be contradicted.***'

Private cable telegrams announce a de-J cided victory by the French at Damvilliers. It is said to have been a bloody contest, with great loss on both sides. No particulars given.

The French here feel confident the tide is turning, and that within two weeks the Prussians will be driven beyond the Saar.

It is rumored here that Napoleon has committed suicide, but that nothing is published about the tragedy in France.

WASHINGTON, August 23.—TheUnited States Treasury Department has ordered the payment of the September interest, commencing on Monday next, without fail.

Dispatches received in the city state that the prizes contested for in the Victoria Regatta of Hong Kong, were won by boats of the United States vessels. Tne ladies purse which was the crack prize, was won by Admiral Rowan's barge with a crew trained and commanded by Lieutenant Commander R. D. Evans. The Englishmen were generally disgusted.

PHILADELPHIA,* August 23.—This morning a man namea John Head, of New York, fell from a train of cars on the Pennsylvania railroad west of Philadelphia, and was run over and instantly killed.

At 4:30 A. M. revenue officers Clark, Ridgway, Macauly and Schawer seized the still owned by Rice & Cowan in the first ward and captured one and a half barrels of whisky. Two men named Jas. Ellinger and John McGinnis were found in the place. Ellinger is a member of the Schiffler Hose company, and a notorious character. He has been twice tried for murder.

The prisoners were taken to the second district station house, and from there the revenue officers proceeded to take them before United States Commissioner Hill, where they were attacked by a mob and an attempt was made to rescue the prisoners. Tlie mob consisted of roughs and the adherents of the Schiffler Hose Company Theoffieers ib«n returned and reported tottlieCityMarshal, who sent to the Navy Yard for a guard of marines and the prisoners were safely brought up for an examination, which is now going on.

During the melee at the station house McGinnis escaped.

William and James Ellinger have been arrested on a charge of being leaders. They are hard characters, and are brothers. William was tried for killing a boy some years ago, and has served a term of imprisonment. James was tried for shooting a man named Stiles Christmas Eve, two years ago. The prisoners were all held to answer.

After the committal of Joseph Elleng er, Jacob, James and William Ellenger were arranged on the charge of aiding and abetting in the escape of McGinnis and attempting to rescue their brother Joseph, it was shown that the prisoners attacked Deputy Marshals Ridgeway, Murray and Beale, using black jacks and revolvers. The three men ran into a house near by and the officers were prevented from arresting them by the immense ganr outside. !V

At length a squad of fifty marines came to the assistance of the officers, and the Ellinger brothers were handcuffed and conveyed to the office of tlie United States Commissioner, who committed them in default of $3,000 bail.

At a negro quarters in a place called Pleasant Alley, an oil can in a grocery store became ignited from flames and exploded, setting fire to the premises, and seriously if not fatally burned Benj.

The occasion of the emeute was the reading of the proposition of M. Kerater, relative to the formation of the committee of defence. The greatest uproar and confusion was provoked by the presentation of the proposal. Immediately, the deputies on both sides of the chamber arose and vehemently commenced stating their views and dislike.

The members of the left persisted in accusing the majority with having caused the war by their aggravating course in

sustaining

the ministry in the Hohen-

The entire Chamber was in a fearful state of disorder, when the President arose and terminated the session. The sitting Was ended tumultuously and the reporters ordered to to leave. ,4^

NEW YORK, *-r

NEW YORK, August 24.—Private dispatches here state that there is great mourning in Berlin at the terrible losses of the Prussian army. The corps of Steinmetz, which is almost anni hilated, contained the flower of the Prussian youth, and there is hardly a family in Berlin that has not lost a member during the battles of last week. Prussian dispatches state that there will be no fighting for two weeks, but the French dispatches state that Bazaine and McMahon have made a junction, and an attack on the Prussian lines will be made during the next forty-eight hours, and that the Prussians are ynly auxious to postpone the fight so as to fill up their decimated ranks.

Senator Morton.

We have just received and read the speech of Senator Morton, at Indianapolis, Indiana, on the 4th inst. We consider Morton the ablest logician in the Senate of the United States. When the Democracy read, and hear the truths that are presented by this great statesman and loyalist, they tremble like the aspen leaf in the mighty tempest. A truer statement was never made, than when the Senator told them that the Democratic party was not in favor of reducing the National debt and the tariff. When at the close of the last session of Congress, a bill was passed to reduce the National debt $80,000,000 when a bill was introcuced to reduce the tariff on tea, coffee and sugar, $23,000,000 when this bill was introduced to reduce the tax on tea from 15 to 25 cents per pound on coffee, 3 to 5 cents per pound, or 33 per cent, of thQ ontirp tax. When the time came for this reduction, every ueunjoratio eon ator and Representative voted against it, or dodged." They have made a great many speeches in favor of reduction, but one vote is worth a great many speeches for it. That vote they did not give.—Danville, III., Commercial.
