A BOSTON lasuu St.

83* There will be a meeting of the Vigo County Democratic Executive Committee, at tne Journal Officc, thi» day, at 3 o'clock.

XeeliBf of Coserew.

The next session of Congress commences on Monday week next, the 6th of December, and will continue in session until the 4th of March, when Gen. Pierce will be inaugurated as President, and the terms of the members elect to the 33d Congress commonces. The next session will be an im-, portant onc, as the Ilomeitead Bill, matters in regard to Cuba and the Lobos Islands,and other questions of National interest, will engage the attention of that body.

.i- United States Senator.

Jt will bo seen that Gov. Wright, in opposition to a determination previously announced, ha* made an appointment of United States Senator, to fill th# vacancy occasioned by the death of Hon. James Whitcomb. Mr. Chahlks W. Catbcabt, for many years a member of the Legislature, and formerly

Representative in Congress from one of the Northern Districts, ic the gentleman appointed. The Sentinel says, the reasons for the Governor changing his determination, upon the propriety of thus appointing an individual to fill the vacancy, are

found in the present position of the Cuban affairs, rfie Lobos Island's difficulties, and that great question, the Homestead exemption bill, now pending between the two Houses of Congress. Add to these the possibility that nearly an entiro session may elapse before an election to supply the vacancy, and we think the course of the Governor will commend itself to general approbation.

03r The Fountain Ledger (whig) in commenting upon our article in advocacy of the election of Hon. John YV. Davis to the U. S. Senate from Indiana,says: The Terre-Haute Journal is looking to lion. John W. Davis as the probable successor in the U. S. Senate of Hon. James Whitcomb, deceased. There is probably no Democratic Statesman :n Indiana who has filled more important stations* and who has acquitted himself more honorably than Drt Davis—having been Speaker of the House of Representatives in Congress, and President of the late Democratio National Convention.

Hon. John W. Davis.

The Tcrre Haute Journal contains a well written article in favor of thfe election of Hon. John W. Davis to the 8. (J Senate. In advocating the election of Dr. Davis we have no doubt but the Journal fairly reflects the public sentiment in that reotion of the State.—Slate. Sentinel, ••li',"

A recont No. of the Richmond JefTeffonlan, contains an articlo in favor of the election of Oliver P. Morton Esq-, to the vacant seat in U. S. Senate from this Slate, and the Laporte Commercial Times advocates the eleotion of Dr. Fitch present member of Congress from the Loganuport district. They are both men of respectable abilities and would doubtless represent with credit the interests of the State in that capacity, but we must still adhere to our original preference, in favor of that tried and true statesman and Democrat Hon. John

W. Davis, and we are not alone in our personal

preference.

1 1

Nofsing&r the present incumbent, Maj. A. M. Polar, the former Trustee, Col. Jos. RistiNb of Fountain, and Bbnj. R. Edmonston of Dubois. Eith er of the above named gentlemen, are well qualifi

ed lor the position.

Thanksgiving Day.

Yekterday was Thanksgiving day, but owing, in part to the inclemency of the weather, it's observance was by no means general. There was ser vice in one or two churches, but all the stores were opened, and business wagged on as usual The old New England style of observing this day has not yet been adopted in Hoosierdom.

0^7- The last Rockville Whig, in a spirit of bitter partisanism, comments severely, upon a speech of Gov. Wright, recently delivered in that place, at

a Democratic Jollification meeting. These maKgiant siriciuirt however, we don't think, will entirely demolish the Governor, lie holds too high a place in the affections of the people of Parke co., •ad of the State of Indiana, to be in the least af-

teeied, by such partisan missiles.

Col. Watt am PkksTok, Whig, haa been elected to Congress from the Louisville District to fill the vacancy ocoasioned by the resignation of Humj»hr«y Marshall. The question of the building of a canal on the Indiana side of the Falls of the Ohio, entered as alt issue into the cyivass, and Mr. Prestonfc's known opposition to the ptoject secured

his election.

•i. We have also beard the name of Hon. John W.

We firatsaw it in that partisan sheet, the Vincennes Gazelle. It does great injustice to Mr. Davis, who left for the east before the result was actually known, upon private* business in Baltimore and Washington city, and will return in all pobability without even seeing Mr. Pierce. No man of good sense, however, would believe anything of the kind if every whig paper in the Slate would aver it. His qualifications, nev

Mr. Thurman is a graduate of the Indiana Asbury University, and comes well recommended by the President and Professors of that Institution.

Longest Railroad on Earth.

The following extract from the able report of John iBrough, Esq., President of the Madison and Indianapolis, and also of the Terre-Haute 'and St. Louis Railroad, which we take from the American] Railroad Journal, cletu-ly demonstrates that our great interior thr.ough liae is the longest and most imporiant Railroad upon the earth, and when it shall be extended, us it unqueitionablv will be, to, the Pacific Ocean, it will command, for all time, the admiration of the world, and will stand as a monument of the enterprise of the age in which we live.

The Road snd its ConncctionJ, This road is the last link in the great chain of Railroads from Boston, New York, and Philadelphia, to the city of St. Louis, and the country further West. A glance at the ma^ will .show all these connections By the first day of March next this whole chain of Railroads will be complete and in operation from the eastern cities to Terre-IIaUte, Indiana. The reader will please fix the |)oint of Galena 79 miles south of Cleveland, on the Cl«veland and Columbus road. To this point the line of road is now complete from Boston, via, Albany and Buffalo, and also via Erie railroad, Dunkirk, and Cleveland, and from Philadelphia, via, liarrisburgh and !*itlsburgh. Then from Galena west, we have the Bellefontaine and Indiana road from Galena to the Indiana State line, then the Indianbpolis and Bellefontaine from the Indiana State line to Indianapolis. Then the Terre-Haute and Richmond, from Indianapolis to Terre-Haute. At Indianapolis three lines will connect with Cincinnati. There remains then but, this link, (from TerreHaute to St. Louis) of 170 miles of road lo connect the eastern cities with St. Louis—thus making a connected line of railroad of 1200 miles between St. Louis and Boston, 1144 ftiiles between St. Louis and New York by the Central, and eleven hundred and thirty-nine by the Erie road. Add to this that about 200 miles of the Pacific road Irom St. Louis westward is now under contract, with a grant of 3,000,000 acrcs of land by the Gov ernment, and it presents the longest and most direct connected railroad line in the world. This must continue to be the great East and West route

Railroad Coa»ssl4o»^^it'* ftxtt

The railroad connection between Cincinnati and New York, sod Philadelphia is now complete The last spike has been driven in the Latte shore line, and the cars by the lime the lake closes, will run from Cincinnati to Dunkirk, and Buffalo, thus connecting the great pork city of the west with all "downcast.'' The Pittsburgh and Philadelphia road is now completed, connecting Cincinnati by way of Gleveland, with ihe cities of Philadelphia. Baltimore, and Washington. The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, will be completed to Wheeling In connection with this road. in ten days more the Bellefontaine road wiU be completed to Union, and a connection formed with the Dayton and Greenville road. So that we seed have no fears of ice obstructing the eastern travel as heretofore. We shall have a direct through Raiirofd line to Cincinnati, and in twelve months more we shall be ia connection with Cleveland by this line, and with Columbus' Ohio, by the Central tine, via Rictfmond, Dayton and Springfield. Soon the shrill whistle «ft|» car will take the place of the keen crack of JeLa's whip. Stage coaobes will become olsoiete things, and the Billy Neals, Admiral Reesides, and Peter Campbells, will only be remembered in history Sic transit gloria Mtmdi,
