FOR GOVERNOR IX 1&72,

Washington C. Do Pauw,

OF FLOYD COUNTY.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1872.

INDIANAPOLIS is beginning to discover the important fact, that coal, such as is used for all kinds of manufacturing pur. poses, can not be obtained there as cheaply as at other points in the State, and hence that city is not so favorably located for the manufacturing of iron and steel as many other places. To, if possible, cure this, the building of a narrowguage railroad, to belong to and managed in the interest of the city, and to run to the block coal fields of Clay county, is now being agitated. The Journal, of that city, speaking of this matter, says:

We have expressed the belief that a narrow gauge railroad to the coal fields is the one tiling needlul lor the continued and permanent prosperity oi our city. A\ preler the narrow guage lor several reasons. Such a road could not be gobbled and used as a link by the big through lines controlled by joreign capitalists. It can be built ana equipped lor about' two-thirds the cost oi ordiaiiary guage. The work, material and money for building it can be done and procured here at Indianapolis, so that our city will derive all the benefit of its construction. What we need above all things is a road built and operated lor the exclusive advantage ot our city. A petition is now circulating which, when signed by a number oi our tax-payers, will be presented to the Council, asking that a survey and estimates for such a road be made at once. We are assured by tho gentlemen who are urging the matter, that they desire the road to be placed under tho control of the city authorities, and that whatever benefit is to be derived lrom it may ei.ure to all our citizens. All ideas ot private speculation should be excluded, and the enterprise carried on by the city ior all our citizens. We cannot say to capitalists that Indianapolis is the best place for locating steel works and iron nulls, until we can guarantee them a supply oi fuel as cheap as it can be had elsewhere. There was a time when the Terre Haute Hail-road delivered coal to our people at §0.50 per car load, now we are charged £12. A continu­

ance

of these lreights places an embargo on our prosperity. No true friend of Indianapolis will oppose a measure which will secure to us a position of perfect independence in the essential matter oi l'uel.

Indianapolis is more than fifty miles from the coal fields Terre Haute is not fifteen. Of course, the time will never comc when coal can be procured at the former city, at as low figures as at the latter. Distance has something to do with the price of freights, and cities situated further from that which is, more than anything else, required to make manufacturing establishments pay, can not hope to successfully compete with cities more fortunately situated. Terre Haute has just that which every man of sound discretion is looking for when un ting for a place to build a blast furnace, or any other manufacturing establishment—cheap fuel—cheap coalcheap block coal.

This is the important fact, and in a few weeks the Terre Haute & Cincinnati Road will make this coal cheaper. It is difficult to over estimate this great fact. It will draw to us large manufacturing interest, as certain as the magnet draws the soft iron. It is the loadstone which is sending out our railroads of to-day, and pushing them into the iron mountains of Missouri. We have the coal, and it is suicidal by our want of enterprise to throw away s«- great an advantage. In a short time we will have three roads traversing the coal fields, and three over which iron ore can be brought at competing prices. As compared with Indianapolis in this particular, we are seventy-three miles nearer the iron and- fifty nearer the coal. This is not much to a family who burns but a few hundred bushels of coal in a year, but to a large manufacturing establishment which consumes hundreds of thousands of tons per annum, the difference ,in the cost becomes important.

Is it then the policy of this city to remain silent, and while our neighbors all around us are exerting themselves to secure those very advantages by artificial means which we have naturally, cry "no more railroads and no more taxation to build them," and as a consequence no more improvements, and no more, manufacturing establishments in this city? If we want to be superceded by the other cities in this valley, and lose the advantages of our natural location, let us pursue the policy of the-oyster pull our shell together and shut our eyes to all enterprises and to all railroads. No policy will more certainly draw from us all that is desirable to build up here a large, flourishing and commercial city, and none more sure to depreciate the value of all our property. _______

Death of a Centenarian.

Cager Ballard died in Shelbyville on the 23d ult. at the residence of his sou John Ballard, aged 105 years. He was born in Bedford county, Yirgiuia, and moved to Campbell county, East Tennessee, lived there sixty-five years, and was one of the few Union men in that region.

He fought under General Jackson during the whole of the war of 1812— takiug an active part in the famous battle of New Orleans. During the late rebellion he owned a mill, which on aceount of his deep-seated hatred towards them, was burned by the rebels, and he would have been hung had it not been for his old age.

THE argument in the cases against Kimball and McCarty will be heard in General Term of the Superior Court this morning, having been postponed yesterday on account of the absence of Major Gordon, counsel for defendant Kiin--feall.

THE following articles were filed in the office of the Secretary of State yesterday

Articles of incorporation of the Lost Creek Manufacturing and Mining Company, for the development of the mineral resorces of Vigo county. Capital stock 520,000, divided into shares of $50 each, with privilege to increase the same as may be found necessary. Term of existence, fifty years. Directors for the first year, Joseph Abbott, Frederick Fischer, Richard Strout, John J. Brake and J. IT. Blake. Headquarters, Terre Haute.

AN exciting political contest, ill the Fourth Pennsylvania Senatorial District, closed yesterday, with the election of the Administration candidate. Colonel McClure, a liberal Republican, had taken position against Grant's renomination, and although standing squarely upon a Republican platform in favor of certain local reforms, the Administration was determined to beat him. And beat him it did, by a majority of 940. The Republican majority at the last election was 7,426.

From the Nashville Cfenn.) Banner, Jan 20. UEX. R. S. EWELL.

Interesting Particulars of 1 lie Last Illness and Death of this Confederate Leader—Almost Simultaneous Death of His Wife—His Dying Wishes Respecting the Inscription Upon His

Tombstone. The citizens of this community were deeply pained, though not surprised to hear that Lieut. Gen. R. S. Ewell had breathed his last early yesterday morning, at his residence near Spring Hill, Maury county. The intelligence which had been received during the previous two or three days, as to his condition, had prepared us all to expect the worst. Following close upon the decease of his wife, the sad event created a feeling of depression which was visible on every countenance.

Gen. Ewell was sick only a few days. On the sixth day of his iiluess he had grown so much better, and was in such good spirits, that he desired the windows of his room to be raised for the admission of the cool, invigorating air. But the effect was too severe for his weakened system, and he sank into a relapse and never rallied. For the eight or nine days which followed, he was alternately better and worse—hanging all the time between life and death. His noble, warmhearted wife, who* had anxiously and vigilantly watched beside his sick bed, through weariness and want of rest, succumbed to the same fatal disease. Though no one had announced to him her death, he said that he guessed the terrible truth, because he saw that "a pall bad fallen upon the house." His senses had become so keenly susceptible to everything transpiring around him, that even Ute thought of his attendants seemed laid bare to his perception.

After he had made his will and other arrangements for the disposition of his property, and after he had been informed that his race was almost run, he remarked, with the calm simplicity characteristic' 6f him, "I don't want any monument raised over me only a plain head and foot-stone, like those over the graves of my father and my mother in Virginia. My rank while in the Confederate service might be inscribed upon one of the scones, but I wish nothing in the inscription which will cast any reflection upon the Geverument of the United States."

Gen. Ewell had been in the habit of wearing a pair of blue infantry pantaloons, which he had purchased subsequent to the war. Upon one occasion, not long before his death, and when he could speak only with the greatest difficulty, he said of them. "After all my lighting against the United States so long, it is strange that an old pair of infantry pantaloonsshould kill me at last." He attributed his death to having put them on during the cold weather after having worn a much thicker pair.

As to his funeral, he said that be wanted no display, no pomp, no parade over his remains, but simply wished that his comrades and friends, if they desired, might show their respect in a plain and unostentatious way. "When the corpse of his wife, shrouded and in the coffin, was taken into his room just previous to their being sent to Nashville, Wednesday morning, he was raised up from his pillow that he might look upon her face for the last time. He was too weak to show any emotion, but whispered a wish that her funeral might be delayed, so that both might take place at the sanfiyimc, and both be laid side by side in tWsame grave. "They were beautiful in their lives, and in death they were not divided."

Last Wednesday night, respiration became so difficult that Gen. Ewell could not speak. That evening, as well as during three or four days previous, very few of his friends were admitted to his chamber, as it was absolutely necessary that he should not be disturbed. Though denied the power of speech, he retained his mental faculties until the last, and indicated his wants by signs. He died at 2i o'clock yesterday morning, calmly, peacefully, "without a single struggle. His countenance wore a look of placid resignation, and was more life-like in expression after than a short time before his death. Gen. Ewell's remains will be interred4n the City Cemetery, by the side of the wife whom he loved so well.

It was at Richmond, during the latter part of the war, that the Union between Gen. Ewell and Mrs. Lazinka Brown, daughter of the late Judge Campbell, one of Tennessee's most distinguished public men, was consummated. The marriage proved an eminently happy one. Immediately after his release from prison they came to Tennessee. He found ample and congenial occupation in superintending the farm near Spring Hill, upon which they resided. His neighbors often remarked that he was not less suceessful as a stock-raiser than as a General. No man in Tennessee ever exhibited more interest in improving the breeds of cattle and sheep.

Cromwell's Skull.

The skull of Cromwell is still above ground, and it is in possession of a citizen of London. Several years since it was exhibited publicly. The history of the liead is as follows: Cromwell was buried in great state at Westminster Abbey. At the Restoration, however, his body and those of some of his associates were dug up, suspended ou Tyburn ga^ lows for a whole day, and then buried under it. The lfead of Cromwell, however. was taken off, carried to Westminster Hall and fixed there, where it remained sometimej but the great tempest at the commencement of this century blew it down, where it was piefced up by the great-grandfather of its present possessor. This is a significant .commentary on earthly greatness. The popular idol of.one generation may become the scorn and loathing of another. The body of Cromwell, carried to his burial in royal state, ouly a few years after his interment is rudely torn from its resting place, and the half decayed carcass dragged by the heels through the mud and mire of London, is hauged upon Tyburn tree, the head afterward torn off and placed so that in grinning horror it ever looks toward the spot where Kiug Charles was executed. Every wrong has its Nemesis.

The Inventor of Bessemer Steel. It is probably pot generally understood that the JJessepaer steel process Js really tin American itivepttop, the

term itself is a misnomer. The process was discovered and used by a Mr..Kelly, in the State of Kentucky, long before Mr. Bessemer was ever heard of. As soon as Mr. Kelly heard that Bessemer had brought out the process in England, he at once applied for a patent, placing the matter in the hands of a patent solicitor, who retained the papers just long enough to notify Bessemer, the latter securing the patent.. However, Kelly had procured a caveat, and after a hearing by the Commissioner of Patents, the case was decided in his favor. Some years after the patents of Kelly, Bessemer and Mushet were consolidated in one company. All the patents having expired in 1871, renewals were refused to all except Kelly, whosecured an extension of seven years.

To those who are Bowed Down by Nervous Debility, and despair of ever recovering the vigor and mien of manhood we earnestly recommend Dr. Walker's California Vinegar Bitters. Before they have finished the first bottle, they will feel the restorative principle at work in every portion of their broken-down systems and hope will spring up in their hearts. No case of Dyspepsia, Biliousness, Intermittent Fever, Rheumatism, Gout or Kidney disease, can resist this un equaled vegetable tonic which is uupolluted by any distilled or fermented iquor. 8dw4\v

OUR POLICY FORESHADOWED.

It Means Complete Annihilation of the High-priced System.

I S A A I N N

We have bidden farewell to the year 1871. was a good old year, lor it gave ns

A Complete Victory Over the Dry Goods Ring!

Still, with faith in 1872, we„ welcomed the new year and entered into the field strengthened by the prestage that always comes in the wake of

A E A I O

Determined that the High-priced Dry Goods System should never rear its head again in the city of Terre Haute.

Nearly Two Years of War Lie Behind.

Overmatched and exhausted the opposition stores have about deserted the field, and no longer attempt to follow us in prices or to dispute our leadership.

FIRST FLANK MOVEMENT FOR 1872.

Another Startling Reduction in Prices!

It seems to be as well known to the public as to ourselves that our store, though srreatly enlarged last fall, and now running back a depth of one hundred feet, IS STILL INADEQUATE TO ACCOMMODATE OUR MAMMOTH TRADE.

SOMETHING MUST BE DONE!

To enable us to obtain sufficient room lor our Spring Goods, else when the season opens we shall be so badly crowded as to be unable to do a profitable and satisfactory business. We have therefore decided to place on sale immediately our ENTIRE SOTCK of

Winter Goods at Less than Present Wholesale Prices!

There seems no other way out of the dilemma, and we invite the entire population of Terre Haute and the surrounding country to this

GREAT HARK-DOWN SALE!

Our prices for Winter Goods will be the lowest ever known in Indiana, since the close of the great rebellion, and sale will be one of the heaviest blows the High-priced system has ever received at our hands.

THE NEW YORK TRIBUNE

FOR 18RA.

The consolidation of Italy, so long fragmentary and Impotent, into one powerful State, with Rome as its capital the humiliation ol France Uirongli a series of crushing defeats, ending with the siege and capitulation of her proud aud gay metropolis the expulsion of the Bourbons from tlic Spanish throne, ana the substitution lorthem of a scion of the most liberal among royal houses the virtual absorption of the kingdoms of Saxony, VVuittemberg, Bavaria, with Baden, Hesse, the Uanse Towns, &c., under the heaasnip of Prussia, into the tiininphantanci powerful empire ol Germany and the arming of Russia to reassert her preponderance in the councils of Europe, or to prosecute her often postponed but never relinquished designs on the great city founded by Constautine and the vast but decaying and anarchical dominion of the Sultan, all combine to invest with profound interest the everchanging phases of our tidings fiom the Old World. THE TRIBUTE, tnrough trustee correspondents stationtd at all points in Europe where great movements are in progress or imminent, aims to present a complete and instructive panorama of events on that continent, and to mirror the prolonged struggle between middle-aged Feudalism and Ecciesiasticisin on the one hand and Nineteenth Century skepticism and secularism on the other.

Recognizing a Iiivine Piovidence Jn all that proceeds and is, it lookshopefully on the great conflict as destined (like our own recent convulsion) to evolve from stiife, disaster, and seeming chaos, a fairer future for the toiling masses of mankind.

In our own country, a war upon corruption and rascality in office has been inauguiated in our city, whereoy the government, ot our State has been revolutionized through an initial triumph of reform which surpasses the most sanguine anticipations. It is morally certain th»t the movement thus inaugurated cannot, in its progress, be circtunsciibiu to any party, but that its purifying innuence Is destined to be felt in every pait of tue Ijnion, rebuking venality, exposing robbery, wiebting power 1'iom politicians by i-aae, anu eouhuiiig it ill those worthiest auu title to wieiu It. To this beneficent ana vitally needeu iceioim/ine Tribune will devote its best eneigies, legaidiess of personal inteiests or party preuiieciions, esteeming the choice of honest aud faiihiul men to office as ol all New Departures the most essential and auspicious.

The virtual surrender by the Democratic party of its hostility to i-qual Rights regaruieNs of color liasdivfcsted our current politics tf naif their bj gone intensity. However parties may liencefortn rise or lali, it is clear tiiat the lundaincntai principles which have lntneito honorably di&iiijguiahtd the Republicans aie henceforth to be regained as practically accepted the whole country. The right OJ every man to his own limbs and sinews—the equality oi all citizens before the law—Hits inaonity of a fetate to enslave any portion ot Its peopie—theuvtyof the Union to guarantee to eveiy citizen the lull enjoj ment Oi his liberty uniii heiorieitsit by crime—such aie tue broad and lirm foundations of our .National edime and palsieu be the hand thatseeas to displace them! Though not jet twenty yeais oiu, the Repuoiican party has cv.mplettd the noble labile of Emancipation, auu may fairly invoke thereon the sternest judgment of Aian ai.d the benignant smite of Uou.

Henceiorm, the mi sion of our Republic is one of .PeaceJul Progress. 'J.O protect the ween, and the humble from violence and opprtssion—to extend the boundaries and diffuse me blessings oi Civilization—to stimulate lLgenuity to tne production oi new inventions lor economizing .Labor and thus enlarging Pioduction—to maw neater to eacn other tue produceisoi lood and Fabrics, of Urains and Meials, and thus enhance the gains ol mututry by reducing the cost ot transportation and exchange.- between larmers and artisans—such Is the inspiring task to whicli this JNation now aduresse® nseii, and by wliicli it would fain contribute to tnepio-gre.-s, enlightenment and happintssof our lace. To this great and good oiK, The Tribune contributes its zealous, persistent efforts.

Agriculture will Continue to be more especially elucidated in itsWeftkly and Semi-Week-ly editions, to which some of the ablest and most successful tillers of the soil will contribute. jSo farmer who sells j3L0 worth of produce per annum can afford to do witnout our Market Repoits, or others .equally lucid and mprehensive. If he should lead nothing else but what relates to his own calling and lis rewards, we believe that no farmer wno can read at ail can afford to do withoutv-icli a journal as The Tribune. And we aspire toNhaakeitequally valuable to those engage- inotheruspariments ol Productive Labor, "We spend more and more money on our columns ach year, as our countrymen's geneious pyti onage ei-abies us to uo and we aie resolved that our issues of former years shall be exceeded in varied excellence end interest by those of 1»72. Frienus in every State! help us to make our journal better and better, by sending in yoursubaciiptions and increasing your Clubs lor the year just before us!
