Evansville people are not lacking in enterprise, and when they cannot get a first-class entertainment to visit their city, they do the next best thing, they come to Terre Haute, a city that has firstclass entertainments. We are pleased to see so much pluck manifested on the part of the good citizens of our sister city and we feel that they will be amply rewarded for their time and money spent in coming, eveu the second time, to hear this unrivalled bird of song in our beautiful Opera House. Come along neighbors, and you shall not return to your homes unrewarded.

Another Attemted R.unGLAUY.— Burglars attempted to effect an entrance into the residence of Col. Dowling lastnight, but owing to the security of the fastenings of the doors and windows, they were rewarded in signai failures to penetrate the building, and left the premises, evidently disgusted with the ways of some people, wdiose prejudice and precaution are too strong to admit of being robbed.

It appears from this attempt, that though there have been six of these nocturnal disturbers pulled, that there are more of them yet lurking about the city. We should be pleased to write the obituary of some of them and also to write the eulogy on the life, service and character of the man who will shoot them.

IIomk.—A home! is a bright, blessed, adorable phantom, which sittetii highest on tlie sunny horizon that girdeth life! When shall it be reached? When shall it cease to be a glittering day r'reajn and become fully and fairly ours? It is not the house, "though that may hayj its charms nor tho fields, carefully tiiied and streaked with your own foot-paths nor the trees, though their shadow be to you like that of "a^great rock in a weary bind nor is it yet tho fireside, with its e'y comfort not the pictures, which (ejl

[Special Dispatches to the Terre Haute Gazette.!

London, Jan. 2o.—A di-patch from Lille of the 22d, says that M. Gambetta has received a telegram to the effect that the Garibaldlans had gained a victory near Dijon, and that the enemy abandoned the strong position previously held, together with a large amount of material of war. Many prisoners fell into the hands of the Garibaldiatis, who are actively pursuing the enemy.

General Faidherbe made a long report to M. Gambetta, covering the recent operations in the north. He says therein that he lost no artillery or prisoners in the battle at St. Q.uentin, and that the only persons captured by the enemy were stragglers from the army.

M. Gambetta left Lille Monday night, and will make a visit to General Chausey, at Lava!, before proceeding to Bordeaux. ]S"ews is received (hat twelve hundred Germans have been expelled from Marseilles.

A semt-ofllcial declaration has been received from Vienna, the 23d, [jthat while the Austrian Government appreciates its duty to strive to restore peace between Prussia and France, it is still deemed advisable to await a favorable opportunity.

London, January 24,—-Several plenipotentiaries to the Conference on the Eastern question have been instructed not to allow themselves to be led into a discussion on any questions foreign to the programme already laid down for the consideration of that body.

The bombardment ol Longuy continues incessantly. The fortress replies feebly.

The Emperor William, in a letter to the Grand Duke of Baden, says that Germany, which has become strong through the unity of her Princes and people, has recovered her former position in the council of nations. Germany neither wants nor is inclined to transgress her frontier. She seeks only the independence and welfare of the nations by the extension of her commerce.

Bokdeaux, January 24.—The Prussians attacked Dijon yesterday, and were repulsed and beaten. After the battle, which lasted five hours, theGaribaldians captured the llag of a Prussian regiment of the line.

The following dispatch has been received aud made public by the Government here:

Dijon, Sunday Evening.

"The French repulsed the attack of the Prussians to-day along the whole line. The enemy were pursued, and the positions held by them at Daix and Hauteville seized. The Garibaldians entered Dijon amid immense enthusiasm. The Prussians in their flight abandoned their wounded."

Paris, Jan. 22.—Last night, at 31 o'clock, a general summons to arms was sounded in the turbulent quarters of Belleville and Charronc, but so depressed was the miserable population that not more than live hundred responded to the call.

It was useless for sucl: a gathering to make a decent upon the Hotel de Ville, so the emeuters gave up the job in despair, and betook themselves to their cold and cheerless beds.. I .-j

To-day the Prefect of Police stationed three strong regiments of the National Guards at the Hotel de Ville, and caused the'adjacant streets to fcristle with mitrailleuses. The unhappy citizensof Paris are too much wasted by misery to be able to initiate a revolution, although it is probable that riots will occur in the streets.

The poorest classes of people receive bread gratis, with a pint of wine each, and a little soup, daily. The middle classes suffer most severely of all. Potatoes are sold at a franc apiece. Dog flesh is worth §1 a pound.

Vienna, Jan. 21.—The war news correspondent thinks that a willingness will soon be shown by France or Prussia, or both, to admit interposition of the neutral powers in the interests of peace.

Washington, Jan. 24.—The proposition to abolish the income tax was the special order in the Senate to-day, and thbse who have canvassed that body, assert that it is sure to pass, though some time may be spent iu debate on it. The question is also sure to come up in the House before the close of the session as a resolution, presented by Kellogg, early this month, and passed, requires the Ways and Means Committee to investigate the matter, and report a bill. It was in pursuance of this resolution that Pleasanton was before the Commtttee last week. It seems settled that this tax will be disposed of this session.

New York, January 25.—A severe snow storm raged throughout yesterday and last night. A fierce northeast wind steadily swept over the city and the surrounding region, bringing a biting atmosphere, in whiwh the thermometer stood for many hours within ten degrees of zero. The snow on the ground this morning is at least a foot deep, and it still continues. The combination of driving snow, intense cold and relentless gales made the storm unusually severe for those compelled to face it. This morning but few street cars are running, and the trains are all behind time.

From the Journal of Commerce.

The Colored Man in Congress. The House of Representatives scarcely realizes that it has a colored member, for the reason that the new Congressman from South Carolina is nearly white, and sits in a corner where few see him.

His name is Joseph H. Rainey. He hails from Georgetown, S. D., where he was born of slave parents in 1S32. Though prevented by law from attending school, he acquired a good education, and has improved it by travel. Ilis father worked himself free, and wentinto the barber business in Charleston and young Rainey also shaved the "bloods" for a living in the same shop until 1862. The Confederates then ordered him to work 011 the fortifications. He refused, and escaped to the West Indies, where lie lived till the war ended, and then returned to Georgetown. He was elected a member of the State Senate, and resigned to accept the nomination to succeed B. F. Whittemore in Congress. He was chosen by a majority of 17,103 over his competitor, and was reelected to the Forty-second Congress. He represents the most important district in the State.

Mr. Rainey is whiter than Revels, being about seven-tenths white, or possibly an octoroon. He has long straight black hair, that makes a deliberate curl at the end, such as the watering-place beaux cultivate but it lias just the slightest tendency to irregularity or ropiness, as if intended to show that he has some colored blood in him. His long bushy side whiskers are just like a wdiite man's. His physical organization seems sufficiently strong to bear the strain his mental construction will give. His forehead is middling broad and high, and the ennobling organization of the mind is well developed. He has an excellent memory, and his preceptive power are good. His polite and dignified bearing enforces respect. Of course Mr. Rainey will not com pare, with the best men of the House of Representatives, but he is a good average Congressman, and stands head and shoulders above the ordinary carpet-bag-ger.

The Centenary of Sir Walter Scott. Arrangements are on foot in Edinburgh for an imposing commemoration on the one hundredth anniversary of the birth of Sir Walter Scott. This wonderful man came into the world on the 15th day of August, 1771, exactly two years after the appearance of Napoleon at Ajaccio. The two chiidren, destined to exert so powerful a sway over their fellow beings, passed from infancy into manhood at the same time, the one on the sunny island of Conales, the other amid the fogs of Scotland. How different their careers as their characters! Scott wielded the pen and Napoleon the sv/ord—Scott to bless and Napoleon to desolate the world. How many have been gladdened by the writings of Scott it would be impossible to compute. The evil that was done by Napoleon lives after him in the present sorrow and humiliation of France. It were easy to pursue the contrast, to multiply antitheses, in contemplating what these men were and what they accomplished. And what remains? Seventeen months ago the centenary of Napoleon was celebrated with unusual pomp in the gay capital which now crumbles beneath the fire of the German siege guns. This will probably remain the last celebration of the anniversary. But Scott's birthday will long be gratefully commemorated in all Englishspeaking lands, and the approaching centennial observance of it in his native city will possess an interest that has not been exceeded in our time. "The pen," says Richelieu, in the language which Buhver puts iu the mouth of the Cardinal, and which never can become hackneyed, ''is mightier than the sword."

Con. Kzuyzanowski, Infernal Revenue Supervisor for Geoigia and Florida, has been threatened by the Ku Klux, and some of the Savannah merchants have united with the Mayor of the city to devise means for his protection. If worst comes to worst, the Colonel can throw his name at the scoundrelly assassins and fix them so.
