FBOM the New York Tribune we learn that Miss IDA LEWIS, the young woman who saves shipwrecked mariners at Newport, R. I., has become such a lioness that last week she bad, one day, a hundred visitors, and another day, a hundred and fifty. Of course, she has no time to do anything except to receive those who
come to look at her. To crovfn all, it is Stated in the newspapers that "somebody i3 engaged upon her autobiography.'-'— An autobiography! written by somebody else is certainly a literary novelty. Of oourse after the publication of this volume, Miss LEWIS'S visitors will be more numerous than ever and our advice to her is to charge a reasonable fee for admission to her bouse.

THE Journal makes a syeak attempt to bold Republican members of the City Council responsible for the action of that body. That game is too shallow to give any promise of success. The Democracy have tbe Executive and legislative departments of our municipal government, and cannot shirk the entire responsibility of each and all of its acts. It seems to us very mean to pocket the "honors and emoluments' and then endeavor to throw all tbe odium that accrues, upon the shoulders of the little feandful of Republicans whose presence adorns the chamber of municipal legislation. It is bad enough for tbem to belong to such a concern, without being required to baar obloquy to which they have no legitimate claim.

THERE seems to be but one way of effectually settling our perplexing Indian difficulties,and that is to teach the treacherous and cruel red men that we do not fear them, and the only way to produce this impression is by a vigorous application of steel and bullets. There is no necessity for extermination, but there is imperative need of a firm war policy against the refractory tribes. When the latter have been taught to respect the military arm of the United States when they have learned by bitter experience that the days of treaties and presents have gone by, the peace agents will find appropriate and ample employment. After the Indian has had enough of fighting with the pale faces, he will probably be willing to accept their rule, if not their civilization. =====
Have we indeed fallen upon times in which the highest, most awfully solemn duty that can devolve upon a human being, that of deciding upon the life of another, is to be discharged amid "tumultuous applause," "clapping of hands" and "stamping of feet?"

Burning Shame-
There have been few more shameful scenes ever witnessed among any civil ized people than was presented in the Criminal Court on Wednesday evening upon the reading of tbe verdict in the case of OLIVEB A. MOBGAN for tbe mure der of JOHN PETRI. At such a time, when a jury were giving their solemn and awful sontence of death against a fellow creature, however guilty ho might be regarded. no man whose nature was not es sentially brutal, no man who had not in him too much of the material of which murderers are made, would have dreamed of breaking in upon the serenity, dignity and solemnity befitting the occasion, with anything like levity. And yet how was it there A norrect report of the scane says: "Immediately on the readingof the ver diet, the most tumultuous and decided applause, by clapping of hands and stamping of feet, arose. This disgraceful proceeding was promptly checked by Judge Grain, who instantly rose to his feet and with uplifted hand warned the audience against repetition of the same."
DIED—At his residence, "i on North Fifth street, in this oity, on'Sunday af| ternoon, ALBERT LANGE/ in"' the eighth year of his age.
MB. LANGE was born at OharTottenburg, Prussia, on the 16th December 1801. HiB yoQth was passed rev tb&( schools of his native country, and^ when, he had attained sufficient age he. h$c»a{& a student of the celebrated University tiff Halle.

His zeal'" in ttiise" matters made him obnoxious to the' authorities of bij native, co unhjy^ an3'. caused him to leave it and eaigfiatatto the United States in 1839.'' iETecfcm4i to this city in 1836, au'^^H^a'"diiringj tbe past thirty-three [year8, ii his home among us. Mr. Lange held) thb" office of magistrate for many^^ years' conferring honor upon the officii.',^-In'l Si?£.e' was appointed United States Consul to Amsterdam, whither he removed With faitr family and spent two years.''Rethrhrrig5 in 1851 he was shortly after elected Audf--' tor of Vigo county, and served co tivelyassueh until I860, -when herwas electedAuditor of State,andfllled thatofiicex during a single term, with greatxredft tti" himsetf. Soon after his return, froon "tiw

He was a msn of rare scholastic attainments, finely versed in the. classics, thoroughly educated in the literal ture of Germany, he had also acquired familiarity with the whole range of English studies. In addition to the learning of books Mr. Lange possessed fine practical sense which made him ah excellent business man. Few persona are to be found who were better fitted for official life or the discharge of official duties.— He was a mild,: affable'and Courteous gentleman in all bis relations with his fellow men. His sense of personal honor was very fine, and his integrity and honesty unquestioned. All that he.undertook in life was well done, and {is has left behind him a memory which will long be he is he it rtW

THE STREET in front of Jonas & Jones agricultural implement house, on the east side of the public square, looked as if a circus hadcoEi9totowD, from th9 array of bright red painted threshing machines just arrived.

Jones & Jones have in this way so^jn,broadcast and are now reaping a rich harvest.
To KILL FLIES.—A gentlemafia$ho has tried it and is willing to swear tbat it is just rs he says, informs us tbat the best fiy-killer in the world, is a tumbler of Whiskv, sugar and water. They wiV gather about it in swarms drink it greedily, get drunk instantly, tumble in head over heels immediately, and die in a jiffyOur informant states that this will kill the pests ten times quicker than the lightning ty killer, and ten timaa more of them than the old-fashioned trap of momolasses and water. It won't oost muoh to try it, and there's lots ot flies to experiment on.

The stockholder will consult their own interests by selecting tbe more expensive and complete plan, thus putting an estoppel upon farther enterprises of this character for a great iumber of years. Should a cheap style be adopted, the company may find itself eclipsed in a few years by a more elegant and complete stiucture, and then be id possession of a second-rate place of amusements. :y x*"

From he Indianapolis Ssntlael jftuJs
Among the many railroads of. wniof vhis city Is the terminus, there is none to which wenan poin twith greater pride that the Terre Haute and Indianapolis, and there is none which, in every particular, approaches so near to being Brst olasa In solidity and substantialness of construc tion,its track can not be surpassed, and,for smoothness, it is mora like a "glass road' than any thing we have ever ridden upon The cars are of the latest design, and of the most oomfortable pattern the official are oourteous and attentive the depot* are comfortable and well arranged the trains are always on time, and although running at a rapid rate of speed, are perfeetlyeafe. No great accident has ever occured on the road, and we believe that in the seventeen years it has been in operation, but thied "passengers have been killed. Few roads have a record half so good
ITS PBOJECTIOH
Wh'eii ihfs road was first talked ufrout, it was thought that enterprises of such magnitude could Only be completed with the Hssistance'of the State or general government The Madison road, which was in process of construction, had been projected by the Stnte, and an immense amount of money had been 6pent upon it In other States' the same course had been adopted, and the people being still affected with the old' Internal improvement mania Tliere were few, if any, railroads which were not indebted to, or controlled by States. Public opinion was changing, however, for with the multitude of roads oontemplated, it was impossible to give aiflito all, and besides, it was becoming evident that the true interests Of the peoplo did not lie in' avlng roads owned by the government: Fore-sighted men then began to see that if the railroad system increased, it must be done by means of prifate capital, and the projectors of the Terra Haute aad Indianapolis road determined to proceed in their own Strength.
The Legislature, on the 26th of January, 1849, granted a charter to Chauncey Rose and others, to build a railroad from Terre Haute through Indianapolis to Richmond. The name of the road was the Terre Haute and Richmond, and the charter required that it be. commenced in five and completed in fifteen years.— At that time Cincinnati was the. great city of the West, the market for the whole of Indiana, and it was considered of great importance to reach her. This road was designed to be a portion of a line from St. Louis to Cincinnati, and Ohio, readily granted a charter for a road from Richmond tu Cincinnati, but the Illinois Legislature, afraid of monopolies, refused at this time to hear, of any suoh project.— Subsequently tbe Terre Haute and Alton road was chartered and built. In the early part of May, 1847, a meeting of delegates from counties in the three
States
was hold in this city, lor the purpose of organizing a. company to build a line froth St. Louis to Cincinnati, which should pass through this city. At this meeting, a committee was appointed who issued an address, in which they declared that private capital must be depended upon in the construction of such a road, and recommended the building of the Terre Saute road, already organized. The address, however, effected little, at least-, in this part of the country, where the project was reoeived, if not With disfavor, at least with coldness. The greatest interest was felt by the leading citizens of Terre Haute, who speedily organized 8 company, with Chauncey Bote, as President, and commenced operations. At the same time, a company was organized here to build a plank road Hb^4Eerre^:Haute, which it was declared was.to-bfrtha "people's road," not a monopoly as ail railroads would become. We were desperately afraid of monopolies in those days.
PROGRESS Of THSftOAD.
Immediately after the organization, of the road, Mr. Rose commenced operations by procuring the services of Gen. Thomas A. Morris, who, in December, completed a first survey. In the month following he commenced another, and when esti mates were prepared the -"Southern, line" was chosen as the route. The other^or "Northern," is the one over which the jludianapolis and St. Louie road is how building. On the 29th of December, 1849,
work was commenced on the west end, I will be iinisned ae rapidly as pofSible I a. ak. M..Vt.:.A Tk* no fl TT olnna hrlAan tbe contract for the grubbing and grading for thirty-two miles, with thepier and abutments for the bridge over ael river then being let. At the same time the next year, the remaining twenty mile a It was estimated that the cost ot prepare ing the road for the iron wonld be $493, 451 62, and the total cost, with equipments, $1,118,751 66.
As in the most of such enterprises, the road was not buiit without a great deal of difficulty. There Was a good deal of open opposition and a great deal of indifference from these who ought to have been friendly, and in the fear that it would be a monopoly, aome very useless things were done. Governor Wright on the 8th of January, 1851, vetoed an amendment £0 the charter, authorizing tbe company to dispose of its own bonds, but the bill was passed over his head by a large majority, and the road was the first in the State to issue bonds. The persons living along the line east of this city, did not take a great deal of interest in tbe matter, and instead of pushing the enterprise, held back and waited for tbe people along the other end to furnish tha means. This led to dissatisfaction, and on tbe 20th of January, 1851, by an amendment passed by the Legislature, the road was divided here and two independent companies organized, the One holding the western half retaining the orignal title. During the same year, Mr. Bose negotiated the bonds of the company in New York, and, with the money procured iron in England, which was brought up from New Orleans. The road was completed ai dopened for through business February 16, 1862, and the cost of construction then was $1,311,672 46, of which tbe right of way only cost $6,500. to WHOM DUE-

Balance to credit......$169, 189 09 From the above can be obtained some idea of the manner in which the country has developed. In sixteen years the business of the road has multiplied ten times, and is now increasing with great rapidity. The coal trade, which is assuming great proportions, is destined to become much greater, and it is not too great a boast to say that the revenue from that will, in a few years, approximate the present income of the road. The line passes through one of the finest agricultural countries in the State, and a great deal of grain, stock, etc., is shipped on it.
THE OPERATIONS OF THE ROAD. Five through freight trains are run over the road daily each way, and one coal train to Greencastle. There are four passenger trains, and their ordinary running time is two hours and fifty-five minutes; the express train makes the trip in two hours and thirty five minutes. In the year ending November 30, 1868, the passenger trains ran 183,471 miles; the freight trains 241,085, and others 34,718, making a total number of miles run of 459,374 miles. There were 266,128 passengers carried, and 333,728 tons of freight moved. The company owns twenty-elght locomotives, twenty-one passenger and ten baggage and express cars, two hundred and thirty-six box freight cars, fiftysix stock, seventy-eight platform, two hundred and thirty-eight coal, and thirtyone service cars. During the present year fifty or sixty coal cars will be added the rolling stock, and several passenger cars, three of which are now building in the shops at Terre Haute. About four hundred men are employed on the track and at the shops regularly, and the month-
pay roll amounts to between $25,000 and $28,000. At present there are a number of extra hands employed in working on the new track. THE TRACK.
The condition of the track, as we said in the outset, is unsurpassed, and it is constantly being improved. The main line is seventy-three miles long, and there
are twenty five miles of sidings, which include several long switches in Clay county; one of these, the "north branch,"
State line, adding it to their present line
is three miles long, and extends to one of the most valuable portions of the Clay county coal fields. There are eight iron bridges upon the road, and as fast as convenient they are being substituted for wooden ones. The one over White river, which was built in 1866, is four hundred and twenty-eight feet long. Two months ago the company commenced building another track from Terre Haute, and is
fably
gradually pushing the work. It will probe completed from Terre Haute to Brazil during the present year, and it will be but a short time before there is a double track on the whole line.
CONNECTIONS. The road, if only a local one, would probably have made money, but it has been a part of the great central route between the East and the West, and has had the benefit of an immense amount of through travel and freight, The Terre Haute, Alton and. St. Louis road was completed in 1854, giving it a valuable outlet on the west, while at this end it has had the benefit of the various roads cen-
tering here. The company is in connection with the Pennsylvania Central, or strictly speaking, the Pittsburg [sic] Cincinnati and St. Louis, road building a line from
Terre Haute to St. Louis, which is considerably shorter than the present one. It is already completed, and cars are running to Effingham, on the Illinois Central road, ninety-three miles from St. Louis. Work is progressing on the remainder, which will be finished as rapidly as possible.
The Terre Haute Company alone bridge, the Wabash and build the road to the
in the other portion of the line they are partners. With the building of a new line to St. Louis, however, comes the con-
000
struction of an opposition line from this city, running nearly parallel with the present line. What the result of this opposition will be, remains to be seen. The
traffic is very great, but whether it will be sufficient for two roads, cannot yet be told. One thing is certain, however, no company was ever in a better condition to meet competition than the Terre Haute and Indianapolis. With a completely appointed road, in magnificent condition, without a dollar of debt, but on the contrary a large surplus, and with the busi- ness growing in the way it is, the company could not be better prepared to meet a rival.
