The City Election,.^
ruder th- new charter, came off on Monday la-a, and a larger vote was taken than ever heretofore. Considerable interest was manifested iL was a .sort of holiday, as there was a circus in town, and wc believe almost every body turned out. We heard of no outbreaks any kind during the day. /In- following is the result:' ru. Mayor, Wiu. K. Kdwards Clerk, James, B. Edmunds Assessor, S. H. Taylor Treasurer, Thomas Houghton Civil Kngiuceer, Jas. Uakey Street Commissioner,.las. T. MofTatt Marshal, Thomas Robbine City Attorney,
H. Moffatt. for Couticilnien, l.tt W ard, II. U«s« aiid I. J. Bourne 2d Ward, It. N. Hudson and Zeiias Smith 3d Ward, George K. Lyon and Jas. S. Wyclh Ith Ward, Silas 11. Franklin and Jas, II. Hiidaou 5th Ward, Henry Fairbanks and Noah Beymor.
The city now takes a fair start under the new arrangement, and under good management, will doubtless go on in her carecr of prosperity. Wc wish all very great success.
The Common Council will meet on Monday, June 6th, at which time the old Board and officers will go out. and the new officials will go in, the Board to be presided over thereafter by the Mayor of the city, who has a vote only on a tie.
Railroad Letting.
The letting which was advertised to come off at this place on Wednesday last, for the Evansville and Crawfordsville Railroad, was postponed for thirty days. Quite a number of people were in town, and many bids were received, but the awards were not declared, owing to the fact, that not enough *lock was taken to justify it. We understand about 000 more of subscription is necessary to justify the company in going ahead with the letting, and efforts are now making to procure this amount, which, rf not taken in thirty days, the work will be postponed indefinitely.
We hardly suffer oursetf to believe that the $36,000 cannot, be had at once. We think surely, that Vigo county will not sit down quietly and suffer the road to be lost for the want of so small an amount, when wc have so many citizens able to come to the rescuebut the block must be taken to insure success, and the sooner our people understand the fact, the better it will be.
We hope an appeal iu favor of this important road will not be made in vain. Let all remember to help a little, and the work will go ahead.
Steamboat Running.
There luis been many trial trips recently with steamers, as to wlmt buat should make the trip from New Orleans to Cairo in the shortest time. Several years since, the J. MWhile, of St. Louis, made the distance from New Orleans to Cairo, in 3d. Gh. 8m. This, for nine -years, has never been beaten recently however, the Eclipse, of Louisville, made the same distance without stoppages, in 3d. 4h. and 25m., and more rccontly still, (20th tilt.,) the A. L. Shotwell has beaten the time of Eclipse 20 minutes, aud we suppose, will now take the horns. In such racing we arc glad to understand that no passengers nre suffered to conic on board. The distance from New Orleans to Cairo, we understand to be 10-IU miles, and in these late trials a "cut off" of IB miles is used, which was not in existence when the J. Af. White made the race. Taking it all together, the White's time will be very hard to beat.
Strawberries.—We are indebted to our'predecessor, Col. DOWM.NO. for A bucket of fine Mrawberrries—the first wo have seen or tasted for the season. They were presented on Friday last, ju&t, from the parent steius, and were extremely relished on that evening.
Our "better half" is also indebted to Mr. 0uuu.rs CvNNiNuti \m for a similar present, delivered on the same evening. We have had tine living since, and desire to thauk those who havo remembered us with such a luxury, for there is nothing better than

A SCENE.—1'hc telegraph re purls that the railway bridge at Salmon Falls, Mass., was burued on Tuesday, May 25th. During the fire the train approached, but being under great headway could not stop. Fortunately the timbers were still sufiieietU to sustain the weight, aud the train dashed over safely*. The passengers must have had singular feelings while daxhingthrough the flames.

(gT Madam Pulsky, (tlie wife of the private Secretary of Kossuth when he visited the United States,) kept a journal of her journey through the country, which has since been published, in which is contained the following in relation to her visit to Indianapolis "We went fo the house of the Governor, it i-* small and I soon perceived why it is not so comfortable as it could be. In thronged the bo cietj* and people of Indianapolis, ladies and gentlemen of every-^description. Muddy boots ami torn clothes, and again desperate attempts at finery glass jewels and French silk (Irenes, which,"after having found no purchasers in New York, have been sent to the West. Some of the mothers had I heir babies in their arm*, workmen appeared in their blouses or dusty coats, just a.- they came from the workshops farmers stepped in in high boots. Once more we saw that the house of the Governor is the property of the people. And yet this incongruous "mass did not behave unbecomingly to a drawing-room. 1 here was no rude elbowing, no unplcas-ant noise, or disturbing laughter. Had they but shaken hands less violently, I would not uow feel Western cordiality in my stiff arm."
We happened to he present at this levee. and can testify, that no "workmen appeared in their Mouses neither did we see any one present with lorn clothes or "muddy boots. The company, generally, were genteelly clad, in dresses creditable, we think, in any country. We do not know how Madam P. got her information about the "glass jewels," but of course, she ought t(» know all about such trinkets, and on close inspection, could certainly toll the pure article from base pinch-beck. We were where we saw almost eveything passing, and we know that but few persons shook hands with Madam Pulsky.— Kossuth had to stand all the rough shakes of the hardy Iloosiers, which Madam P. thinks stiffcnedTrer arm But Madam P. was very vivacious, and in interesting broken English, talked rapidly with all who approached her. She did the. talking for
Madam K.,who could scarcely make herself understood. Kossuth's retinue, some half-a-dozen young bucks, came to the Governor's levee in full military costume, and exhibited a glaring display of brass buttons, gilt lace, aud mustachios. The clatter of their side arms, (long swords, belts and scab bards,) were heard in the drawing-room, as they went up an adjoining stair case to lay them off, and arrange their hairy faces for appearing in public. When in the oom, they stood stiffly in one corner, as
if each had swallowed a ramrod. At the supper table Pulsky committed an unpardonable brcach of decorum, as decorum is understood in this country. Standing, lie stooped to smell a plate of frrullcrs before him, with his nose an inch from the dish. Not detecting the national odor of his native country, (onions and garlic.) we noticed he used none of the article, nor offered it to others. It may be, however, that the Count was near sighted, and wished to see, rather than smell the dish before him the fact is, however, as we state it, for we saw it.
After tea, one of the said retinue established himself at a table in the drawingroom, for the sale of "Hungarian bonds" and did a pretty fair business, for all he got was an unmitigated swindle, as well known then as now. We invested a smal' amount, through politeness entirely, for as we knew the man wanted to sell, we disliked to see him go away empty, perhaps to abuse the country and its citizens. We sold half of our investment at cost, and now keep the other as a reminiscence of Louis Kossuth, whosepicter is on the bond, together with one showing the naked foot of a freeman tramping the head of a king iu the dust—the regal crown kicked off and lying by.
The same book complains of their shabby treatment at the Capital Mouse. We understood at the time that the "distinguished guests" put on many European and aristocratic airs which shocked the republican feelings of the host, and he felt very careless whether they should be pleased or otherwise. The "tallow candles" given to the. lady to arrange her toilet for the Governor's levee, are said to have been indignantly hurled by female hands, at the head of the wicked servant ilk

O" Squire Palmer, of the city of New York, is a wit and a tray, as veil as the pioneer in the advertising business with newspapers, generally. Sometime since, after writing him four times, we stated that said Yoluey B. Palmer was rather non-payative, which publication induced ^jim to send ns part of his bill and his paper for Mav, replies to, our publication, by quoting the stale anecdote of the parson who threw a quarto volume at a skunk, and came off second best. If this docs not establish Squire Palmer's claim to being a wit and wag, we fear he will never gain that enviable notoriety.
But the af resaid Esquire owes us a little balance yet- a small bill for advertising the card of the New York Tribune, which he withheld. saying the paper contaiuiug the advertisement had not been received. Wc have since sent the paper, the second or third time, yet we have not seen the color of Squire Palmer money. Come, Volney, be honest aud shame the dtvil, and when you square up decently, we may be able to reply properly to your marked newspaper article, and to coiumenccwith you again in a new place.
Remember the Tribune bill, ($4,50,) or else Mr. Greeley, who is an honest man, will blow you up. If you wish any more papers forwarded, showing that the card was inserted, say so, and you shall have them we think we can please you when you may be satisfied with what isright.
O* In an article upon the tariff, the N. York Tribune thus alludes to the Pacific Railroad, a work of more importance to us, as a nation, than any thing now agi
tated. Mr. Greeley says:' "But, as we have said already, the great measure of protection now required is the Pacific Railroad. Give us that, pd our own country, instead of England, becomes the center of the commercial world, with Europe-and Africa conveniently disposed on one side, and Asia on the other. With that railroad in operation, we can naturalize and profitably follow a hundred pursuits now engrossed by Europe, and can have more protection from low duties than are attainable in absence by high ones. Let us all, protectionists and freetraders, unite in urging forward the Pacific railroad."
Our friend: Danaldson of the Terre Haute Express, in his last paper insinuates pretty broadly that the citizens of Madison arc illiberal. His reason for so speaking he does not think proper to. mention, and we presume he indited the slur just because he could!—Madison Banner.
You should do us simple justice any way, Mr. Banner. From your paper we learned that your city charged $10 for the privilege of delivering a scientific lecture! which we thought rather wrong—very wrong indeed. But we stated in the same paragraph that a new council had repealed the odious ordinance, which we also learned from the Banner. So 3*011 see, we imvc reasons, and told all the truth to boot, and you have done us injustice, Don't vou think so?
O" We have not seen any awards of the letting recently advertised to take place 011 the Terre-IIautc and St. Louis railroad. Reasons are given by the papers along the line lor a postponement of the awards at present, and promises held out that the matter is favorably progressing.— It was a singular mistake that the letting was advertised to come on the 15th of May, which fell 011 the Sabbath day.
The sarue card which spoke of the letting from Terre-Ilaute to Pocahontas, 124 miles, also invited propositions for the work from Pocahontas to Casevville, 30 miles. These awards are laid for the 15th day of June, which falls 011 Wednesday, not on Sunday, as heretofore.
The President of the road is reported on the sick list.
(D* On Wednesday last, the Democratic State Central Committee met in the sanctum of the editor of the State Sentinel, at Indianapolis, and nominated Alfred G. Porter, as the candidate of the party for the office of Reporter of the decisions of the Supreme Court.
Mr. Porter uow holds this office from the appointment of the Governor, and we presume, will have no opposition, as Whig members of the Bar seem satisfied as to Mr. P's. entire qualification.". This is the only election that comes off for this State this fall, and is necessary only to fill a vacancy. A general election has often been spoken of by some newspapers, to come off" this fall, and some thought it would in terfere with the State Fair at Lafayette.— No fear of that. But few votes will be taken at Mr. Porter's election as people will likely forget when the time COIVKS.
O* The bridge over the Wabash at this place, for the Alton Railroad, is to be commenced as soon as the spring freshets will admit of putting down the foundation of the piers and abutments. The grading across the bottom is now considerably advanced, Laborers are paid

AN OIIIOAN IN AUSTKAUA.—James Campbell, who went from Guernsey county to California, thence—when the gold fever broke out—to Australia, has written home to his friends, under date of August last:
"Sydney is full of gold. 1 have seen it drawn through the streets in cart loads— some of the largest lumps I ever saw lumps weighing from sixty to eighty pounds. In fact, 1 have seen some pieces as large as your boot. These statements you may rely on ns strictly correct. The common report or news from the mines is, that the miners generally make from two to ten hundred dollars per day, and many of them much more. The deposit of gold is very extensive it has now been traced one thousand miles, and no doubt reaches further."
It is staled that Judge Wick the
new P. M., will have the model post office in the Mississippi Valley. The rooms arc on the first floor, 40 by 65 feet, well lighted aud arranged, with a room in the second story for all who want to transact business with the office, so that no one need be required to enter the post office proper. It is expected that the office will be moved to the new rooms by about this time.

CLT The Covington Friend, of May 26, says: Mrs. Frances Glasscock, mother of Joseph and Dempsy Glasscock, of this county, died a few days sincc, near Uillsboro\ from the cffects of a. burn—her dress having- caught lire- She was 8G years old.
