GIVE HIM A " ROUSER 1 How it Stand. The political condition of Vigo coun ty so far as the opponents of tne Democ raey is concerned, is truly flattering. The y . . ' . i Republicans, those who are acting warmly and consistently with the Republican party, number, we are safe in saying, at least I nine-tenths of all who desire theoverthrow i of the Democracy. They are closely united together. They are united upon prmeiple and in their hope to arrest the cor - . . . . A - A ruptions of the eaerai government auu vanceher prosperity. There are anotner of Totera in this county, numotriDg certainly but few who differ but little, if 1 - any, with the Republicans on principle, but who dislike the name tieputitcan,jei dislike disunion Democracy much more. I They, equally with the Republicans have I witnessed the corruptions of the General I government, the disunion sentiments enlertained and avowed by the onpatnotic I Democratic party and they are warm in their desire to strangle iL These men, while they may not vote with the Repubr.on TrtT in the national contest, are ..www M thoroughly with them in the county and State elections. Being thus united upon a common interest io this county and State, we are able to triumph ia the coming State and county elections, with certainty. The Democratic party of igo county, in our judgment, reckons without its host, if by iu cunning and adroitness, it expects any of those men, who now call themselves a V WTT "Americaoa" or " Uld i-me nmgs, to vote with them. While they may dis like the Republican organinixation, yet . .the doctrine advocated by that organixa tion, accord nigher with their yiews than any other, and the pro slavery principles of the disunion Democratic party, they know to be detrimental to all the best i terests or this people. So far then as Vigo county aad the State election are concerned, tn-- ia ft triunmhant maiontr m this county, united against the Democracy. So far as relates to the Republican party in this couuty, it waa never so thoroughly organized, or so numerous as now. Men who in 1656 trere much prejudiced against what they then termed its abolitionism, now find there is not one such sentiment in its book of principles. Men who in 1856 threw away their votes oc Mr. Fillmore, and suffered this State to be carried by the Democracy, have resolved in their hearts never to do so again. They are opposed to the Democracy, and like consistent and prudent men, they intend to east their voUs in such a manner that the Democracy will be defeated. It ia these different elements combined, . that will fight the common enemy in this county and State op to October. It is these different elements that will unite in a county Convention, agree upon a county " ticket, defeat the Democracy and rejoice in the triumph. Although we may differ in policj and principle with many who ara acting with us Io overpower tie common foe, still we eertainlv- can see no reasonable objection to all of us, as of one accord, putting our shoulders Io the same wheel, if thereby, we advance the common interest. We can see no objection in coming into a convention composed of tL opponents to the Democracy and uniting to' de feat them. The little personal bickerings indulged in by some, the personal feelings and the stlfith incentives of others, should not be permitted to disturb the great object, nor thwart the wishes of the majority. A few seldah meo, a few petty ambitioua men, and a few disorganizing men should not be permitted to create a disturbing element among tUoM wbo are willing and anxious to act, to defeat the Democracy. The true men of the country ahoold frown upon all och, let them bo found actios wherever they nay, and the trne men of this county, ahould, and will forget the pSHt, and in the future act for the common good We have no idea, but that there will be eaoogb Toting agaioat the Democracy in this county, this fall, to defeat it, bat we ahould do it without the loss of one vote. No man in a contest so pregnant with im portaoce, ahoold fail to exercise the elect ive franchise, and all should vote in such a way that their ballots would raot effec lually tell against our oppoueoU . Wiscomsix. Wisconsin i$ all right. W e have the following returns from some of - the cities of that State : - In Milwaakie, the Republicans gam over 2,000 on leal year. In Madison, where I ant year the Democrats bad between 400 and 500 majority, the Republican candi date came within six votes of being elec led, on Tuesday, In Janesville, the whole Republican ticket is elected, Mr. Treat's majority for Mayor being 77. In Racine, the Republican majority is 372. In She boygao, the Republican majorities range from 000 to 409. In Iteloit; ihe Republi can Mayor, John Bannister, is elected, and eleven out of the twelve Aldermen are Re publicans. Tema, Halte House. We accepted an invitation, a day or two ago, to dine at the Terra Haute House, where we found all the usual delicacies of the season to

which were added fresh green core, radishes, lettnee and other choice edibles in ad v ance of the aeaso o . The pleasure of the dinner was enhance I by the assideoas, bet unobtrusive attentions of the gentlemanly host, and bis polite coadjutor Mr."Samivel ' Turner. The second deesert, provided by the large hearted hospitality of the g-uerooa host, was ineffably refreshing, and delicious. . We are glad ta witoess tha increasing popularity of our friend Hubb, and his palatial Botel.

A Look at the Snrronudlngi. lean

In Vigo count a?-we said yesterday, nine tenthe of those w io are acting in op I position to the Democratic party, are Re- 1 publicans Republicans from principle, I and who bare no prejudices against the name. The remaioio z portion of the op position are Americans Americana no doubt from principle also. Many months ago, in order that theie two elements might so that the common enemy ought be the more effect a ally strangled, an "Oppoti lion" party was organized in this county. One year ago, that party mtt in Conven tion, nominated a ticket, went together to the polls and elected it. By general eon sent the Opposition party, became, all at once, a powerful party. A few weeks ago both Americans and Republicans met in an Opposition county Contention, sent delegates to a State Contention and both Republicans and Americans met there and nominated a State ticket. Up to within a few days the Opposition party of Vigo county wer and with the exception of a few, are now, acting harmoniously together Each individual member entertained his distinctive opinions, still for the purpote of promoting the common interest and de feating the commor. enemy, they all worked in the fame harness. We hare no doubt butthe honest, onfcelfish, unaspiring men in both the wings of the Opposition, re main true to this organisation, bet withia the last few days it has been revealed, that a few scheming men in this county, are seeking to abandon '.he Opposition party and organize another one they ignore their Americanism and are making an cffort, to do what? lead from the Opposition party oi Vigo county, enough voters lo give the election this fall to our old common enemy, the disunion Democrucy. We ny m few, are striving to throw disaflecti0n into the Oppasition ranks, but we are glad to see, that the more influential men who have formerly acted with the Amerii t . . 1 .iTl J "-jCan party, now aisspprotaie mis -miro party" movement, and will continue to act w;th ine OnnoiiUon of V leo county, v e are glad to tee teat these men meet with bat little encourngement from that party with which they formerly acted, and that their course is diaapprobated by almost j,e ent,re Opposition parly of the county We are glad to Bee thai only a very few of the Opposition can be led into a party organization, at the bid and beckon of other meD. Men lose their manhood who can I be thus led, and no one who possesses one ounce of individuality, will follow in po litical movements, just where a few wire ' workers tell them to go. It is true, in every community jon will find a few such men teen who have cot the capacity to think for themselves but always pin their faith to other men's sleeves and do as other men bid them. They are slaves to the suJ perior will of others, and follow in the wakeof a leader, with as much servility as tbs manacled bondsman obeys the order of his master. The Democratic Party. This once powerful and respectable r arty respectable, because in by gone years it rowarded honesty at.d integrity with its support hss now dwindled down into a miserable mate of spoil-mongers. The only principle which it possesses in that section of the Union where it is at all formidable, is tie "nigger;" the desire to curse our Territories with human slavery, and thereby rob millions of poor white men of their rich inheritance. But ho despicable is the position of the Demo cratic party of the North. Shielding itself behind the most miserable and meanest of all cheats Squatter Sovereignty it is doine the dirty work for its Southern mas ters. In the South, where every State is Democratic, and where the main strength oi tie party lies, this dogma of Popular Sovereignty is hooted at, and the purpose of extending slavery freely arowed; and as the Southern States constitute three-fourths of the strength of the party, is it not plain that they will dictate the policy of any Democratic Adminiatration ? Do they not already declare what that policy must be? In view of these facts, is it not a palpable truth that all who vote with the Democratic party, vote to further the avowed purpose of the Southern wing of that party, which is the extension of slavery While well informed Democratic editors aud slump speakers of the North know this to be the object of a majority of their psrty, they dare not avow it, but fire tbeir shot from behind a poor exploded humbug. They dsre not ask you to vote directly for the extension of slavery, but beg you to vote for P-o p-U'l a rS-o v e-r-e-i-g-n-t-y, which they know is repudiated by the whole Democialic party of the South, and thus thy are daily practicing a fraud and a cheat. Here, in the North, Democracy no longer possesses that reipectability which once belonged to it. Sscli men as Chase, Ham tin, Hale, Trumbull, aad boata of olhera. who, in by gone years, wheo tie party was free soil in aentiment, gloried in the name of Dernocrala, have now, in ita dogenerate and pro slavery days, turned tbeir back a upon it aa aomething to bo loathed and abhorred. Even here, in our own city, we find the men who, in former days, gave to Democracy in caracter and reapeelability, now eurolled under the Republican banner, and their places filled by men from all political organizations, who, possessing no principles, are ready and williug, at all times, to csouse any creed for the aake of office and party spoils. These are the men, the Democratic editors, office seekers, stump speakers, and parly leaders of the North, who are the acting apologists for the Southern blackguards in Con;resa. These are the men wbo bare no word of condemnation to utter against the repeated threats to disaoWe this Union, made by their party leaders in Congress. These are Iii men who have no word of condemnation l utter againat the vile cal omnies pot red out by Southern members of their party upon the whole people of the North. But a lev days ago Senator Wigfall, ef Texas, uattd the following language in Congress : "These Northern people, of " all parties, are a mean, despicable set of " tarvelings, unable too are beyond a dol- " lar, and caring for no consideration ex "cept money Threaten them, and they " will crouch to your feet like so many " hounds. Only swear that you are going " to dissolve tho Union, and the timid crea- " tures will get down on all fours, bite the " dust, and kiss the rod raised to chastise thm." Look at ill Read it again, and remem ber that this same Senator Wigfall is a Democrat, and that the Democratic papers of the North bare no words of condemnation to otter against his language. Meo of the North, cea you vole with a party who leaders thus villify you ? Will you te frightened from the discharge of y oar duty by any threats of dissolution tnadebyti.es Southern fire-eaters? An swer through the ballot boa, and let these Southern nabobs, wbo have called you

the mod sills of society, know that you

repel calumny, aud are Bot to be

frightened from voting your principles by any threats they can make, and are deter mined to preserve thin Union io spite of them. Roarer Williams. The Providence Journal, speaking of the exhumation of the remains 'of Roger Wil liams, says that it is known that the fanii It burial place was in th field back of the house of the late Sullivan Door. Esq The fact has been handed down that about the year I740,hia crave had been encroach ed upon by a new grave prepared for one oibis descendants, which seems to show that its exact locality was not marked then. There is no later account of it. One of the later descendants of Mr. Wit Hams, Mr.Shadrie Randall, of North Providence, has recently tried to determine the spot, and if he could recover any remains, to remove them to a more public and se cure deposit. Last Thursdsy the grave was opened, two graves were found running into each other, and without doubt the one farthest west was that of Williams. But no distinguishable re mains could be found. A number of nails, a small fragment of wood, undoubtedly of the eofSo, and a mass of black earth was all that could be reclaimed. Exchange. And that is all "a number of nails, a small fragment of wood and a mass of black earth." This is all that remains, of what was once a great man. The end and destiny of our eommon humanity. The annihilation of matter. Death, corporeal death "a mass of black earth." Well that ia the end, tha finis, the n6t,ßnem tm ponert curia. What is ambition? "a number of rusty nails." What is fame T "a small frag ment of wood." What is death 7 "a mass of black earth ." Ia there anything more t anything after t Is death the end or the berinninz ? the 'Alpha or the Omega? Is life worth the struggle, or death the waking np to a consciousness of an everlasting an eternity of bliss ? "A mass of black earth." Tho worm has held its carnival the feast is ended, and this is all that remains. Intellect pride, power, genius are all here. "Tha crave, dread thlnr. Men hirer when thou'rt named, nature anpallM, Khakea off her vintAn firmneaa.' The cannon of our neighbor has not boomtd over the election of Rhode Island What is the matter with it, friend? Has the glorious Democratic news from Rhode Island spiked it 7 Journal. "Glorious Democratic news from Rhode Island." ia it neighbor ? You claim it then as a Democratic victory do you ? you who so terribly abhor Know Nolhingiem. It is true that Mr. Sprague is elected Cover nor of Rhode Island by a small majority And wbo is Mr. Sprague? He is an ou and out Know Nothing. He voted for Mr Fillmore in 1856, and was supported by that peculiar class of New Eogland politi cians, known as American Republicans. Being supported by the Democracy, of course he would be elected, and if they now desire to claim it as a Democratic vie tory , they may do so we don't care. We are not at all surprised at the elec lion of Mr. Sprague, nor do we complain of the defeat of the Republicans. It wil have a tendency to wake cp the true feel ing in Rhode Uland, and next November the nominee of the Chicago Convention will get an overwhelming majority there The following were the three tickets vo ted in Rhode Island not much wonder that Sprague succeeded : American Republican Ticket : For Governor William Sprsgue, of Prov idence; For Lt. Governor J. Russell Bullock, of Bristol; For Sec. of State John R. Bartlstt, o Providence; For Atty. Gcn'l. Walller S. Burgess, of Cranston; For Cen. Tress. Ssmuel A. Parker, of Newport. Coniervative Union Ticket : For Governor (tc, same as above ) Democratic Convention Nominatlom : For Gvernor (fcc, same as above ) The Democratic organs, prior to the elec tion protested they would not claim the success of Sprague as a triumph now they are loud-meuthed in their glorifications. A Candid Confession from the South. The Southern Confederacy givds way to its fury thus: "We have thousands ofcenco in the South who are io accret affiliation with the Black Republican party, and who, if the black standard was to-morrow raised in our inidtd, would be found fighting under its treasonable folds, lending material 'aid and comfort' to our enemies." There is no doubt of it. There art thou sand of honest men in the South as well as in the North. There are conscientious men, aincere men, common sense men, and patriots everywhere. We arc glad to see this candid admission on part of the South' rrn Confederacies It is jut what we have always ssid-th at there are thousands and and lens of thousands of "Black Republi cans," scattered all over the Southern States, who, if the standard of Republi caoiam waa raiaed, would rally aroaod it and sustain and support it by a large vote They, however, are the non slaveholding clasa a claaa of timid men. They are the bone and muscle and heart of the en tire South but they want more courage They have long submitted to the dorai neering of a few a leader is how required in every towbship, in every county and in every slave State to raise the standard of Republicanism and rally the thousands to its support. If this was done, the section alum charge! upon the Republican! by their enemies would vanuh to thin air, and the great doctrines now advocated by them would become universal everywhere. o m Joseph O. Jones is announced in the Express, this morning, as a candidate for Sheriff "subject to the decision oi a eonven tion." As we know that it is not a Demo cratie Convention, we would like to know what sort of a one it is to which he intends to submit his claims. Is it Republican or is it uppvtuwnr journal. Haa the Jouraal any doubt as to the po litical doctrines entertained by Joseph O Jones? We should think no one in this community ought to be better posted on this subject, than Grafton F. Cookerly. We suppose Mr. Jones will accept the nomiostion, if tendered to him, of that Convention, which will organize a ticket to be run in opposition to the disunion Democratic oanty ticket, and the ticket which is thus orgaoiaed to be thus run, ill receive three hundred majority in Vigo eounty. Do you understand neighbor? 300 majority. Mark what we aay. We will skin you out, and hang your hides on the fence, by at least <three hundred majority>. ———<>——— FIRE.—The alarm of fire on Saturday night was caused by the upsetting of a fluid lamp in a room in Early's block, opposite the Stewart House, occupied by Gus. Arnold and Ed. Johnson. The lamp had been broken, and tipped over, setting fire to the window curtain, which being torn down and thrown on the floor, fired the carpet. The fire was extinguished without any serious damage to the building or furniture. We regret, however, to learn that Arnold had his hands severely burned in his efforts to extinguish the

flames.

are dowo, there is always something of importance that should be traveling over them. The following, from Washington, khould have been in our issue of Friday, but owing to the "line beieg down," we did not get it. We publish it to-day that our readers may have an exemplification of Northern independence and Southern imnvidence. Hocsk of Rsreüf EXTATivKS. Mr. Clark, of Missouri asked to what extent polyga my exists in Utah what uumber have more than oue wife, and whether the teg ulation of such marriages ia binding with the people ? Mr. Hooper replied that he was uot practically a polygamist. From his obnervation in teu years' residence in Utah he could say, not over half the population recogniie polygamy, and probably not more than one-hair or these have more man one wife each. He knew of no church regulation which compelled a man to become a polygamic, and ol no church regulation which com pelled a woman to marry a man, except voluntarily. Ue was encouraged to know that there were aeveral gentlemen on this naorwaonad been acquainted witn mm for the laut twenty years! and long prior to hia identification with the citizens of Utah. They would say he was not capable of deceit or dissimulation. He declared on hia honor that the pas sage of this bill will not be unexceptionable to the extreme advocates ot polygamy in Utah, and it will unite all people io com mon cauae againat the unjust pretensions of Ike general government to put down polygamy by force. Ur. Loreiov said that the Houxi had been engaged in giving the death blow in polygamy. By the Philadelphia platform tne uepublican party ataod pledged, as far as the Federal government has the power, to extirpate that other twin relic of barba rism, slavery in tne territories, uewanied to see them both strangled and go down together. Mr. Loveioy, warming up with hit sub ject, passecf from his seat lo the area in front oi the Ulerk s ubit, in mil view vi all the members, and spoke in a loud tooe, with emphasis and earneat gesticulation, againat the ground on which it was sought to justify slavery, because the creatures - a. . ft a a are poor, ana tne strong nave um power to oppress the weak, the rich to oppress the poor, the spirit of lavtholdiug being the spirit of the devil, tie. Several gentlemen called Lira to order. Mr. Prvor aicl the gentleman fron Illi nois had n i right to hske his fist at gmtlemen on his side. It was bad enough to stand in his own place and talk his treason and insolence. Mr. Barksdale "Let him keep on his own side of the House." The confusion soon became general and members began to press into the area. Mr. Cox said the gentleman from Illinois ought to speak from his scat. Mr. l'ryor "Let him stand there and talk. He shan't come over to this part of the bouse." Mr. Barksdale was seen shaking his cane, and in the midst of the confusion was heard lo say "rascal" as spplied to Mr. Lovejoy. Mr. Adrian, as if to quiet the tumult, said the gentleman could speak from his seat. The Chairman, Mr. Washburne of Maine, in vain rapped to restore order. Mr. Adrian, in a conciliatory tone, aupposed that nobody wanted to intimidate the gentleman. Mr. Pryor No one wants to intimidate him." Mr. Lovejoy "Nobody can intimidate me." Many Republicans now crowded around Mr. Lovejoy, who exclaimed to them, "O, I'm safe enough." Mr. Burnett, elevating his voice above the din, ßaid the rules required the gentlemau to speak from bis scat. He must and shall do it. He shall not shake his fist to gentlemen on this side in a menancing manner. The Chairman called loudly for the Sergeant at Arms, as if to attend to Mr. Burnett, who said, "You may call the Ser-geant-at Arms, but the members shall not do it." The glittering mace of the Bergeaut atArms did not quiet the disorder. Mr. Kellogg, of Illinois, came to the support ef bis colleague, saying, "He shall not commit a breach of the rules, but shall have his rights." A general fight, at one time, seemed imminent, and the wildest excitement everywhere prevailed. The Speaker was called in to resume his seat, and finally comparative quiet was restored. Mr. Sherman said, 'We are in good order now." This was succeeded by a loud burst of laughter. Mr. Lovejoy took the stand at the clerk's desk, and resumed his remarks. He spoke of Northern Christian women, who went to the South to prevent the people returning to barbarism. Mr. Singleton said that he would not allow auch insinuations on Southern women to pass. If the member persisted in that course of remarks he would hold him personally responsible. Mr. Lovejoy said that of the four million slaves there was not one legal husband, father, wife or child, and spoke about a Presbyterian Elder down South having the gospel whipped into him with the broadside of a handsaw; and of a youug girl in this city being whipped till the blood came out of her nostrils, and then sent to the gsrret to die. He had sworn to sup Dort the Constitution because he loved it but he did not interpret it in the way Southern men did. Mr. Bonbam You violate it. Mr Ashmore And perjure yourself Mr Singleton And are a negro thief into the bargain. Mr. Barksdale I hold no parley with a perjured negro. Mr Lovejoy said; When Daniel Webster spoke of the imposition of Austria on Hungary, he renaarked that the earthquake and tornado have powers, aud the thunder has nowcr. but creater than these was tne pow er of public opinion, and before this he proposed to a;Taign Austria. Ho (Lovejoy) nrorjospd to hold tip to tne reinouuon o public sentiment slaveholdiu g in nil its atrocity and hideonns,iust ar gentlemen had here Dolvzamy. Public sentiment will burn and scour out Slavery. The proper way ia by the action of the Slave Slates themselves. He had indorsed tho Helper book because he wanted to r.o it. He did so without asking the eentlernan from Miskou ri (Clark) of anybody else. "You hed the blood of roy brother twenty years ngo, and I am here free to speak my mind. The Republican party would spring up in Ken tucky and gentlemon now here wouia ond themselves displaced by more moderate, and, if it wore not offensive, he would say more sensible men. tie wanted to eay in Charleston what be could say here, Mr. Bonbam "You had better try it.1 Mr. Lovejoy "I can go to England and there discuss the question of Church aud State, or any ether British institutiou, but if I go into the Slave States, and talk against öiavery, wnero is my pretecuonrMr. iin "Can vdn tta to England and .v-i-u : T-..- .i. ? natetne ijucenT Mr. Lovejoy "I don't desire to do that I claim the rieht to discuss slavery every wuereunuer vlsi obarsnou mnixts. l claim i i -A o. a c. - it I demand it."

You would strip him and scourers him bv the hand of a slave. and perhaps tar and feather him. . . . . . . . Mr. uar sua io "ine meanest negro in the South is your superior," fCries of Order." from the Republican side Mr. Lovejoy, in speaking of John Brown, said he would net curse him; he would not pour execrations on old John Brown. He condemned what he (Brown) did; he disapproved of his acts. He believed, how ever, that his purpose was u good one and his motives honest and truthful. John Drown stood head and shoulders above anv man here until he was strangled. Any law to enslave man was as an arrangement among pirates to distribute tho spoils. "By what rieht do van nf th Hnuih mt gether and enact laws that I or my children should be your slaves? Everv slave hat a right to run away in spite of your laws, and to fight himself away." Were he

Victory In Shelby County Hendrlcks Beaten at Home. A very strenuous effort was mado by the Democrats of Shelby county to carry the local election there last Mouday. The Banner says that Mr. Hendricks, the Democratic candidate for Governor, (who resides in Shelbyville,) and all bis friends worked, spoke and exhorted their parti sans, for days before the election, and left j no effort untried to briu' out a full vote j and a big victory. The Democratic organ published the following aiirring appeal which shows the importance that tho party attached to th election: "Every Republican vote deposited in i the ballot box in Addison townnbipon Mon-! day next will uot only bo counted againut i the Democratic township cmdiJates, but against Thomas A. Hendricks and the I Democratic party, and will bo brought to near in me coming ran election with tell ing effect. It will be telegraphed far and near, that the Black Republi cans of Addison township, the home of Thomas A. Hendricks, the Democratic candidate for Governor of Indiana, have succeeded by an increased majority. If every Democrat will bm do his duty ou Mouday next, the proud triumphant Democracy can build bonfires in the streets of Shelbyville, aud shout huzzas over the defeat of our scheming oppo nents. The election, therefore, was ar of Mr. Heudricke' strength h-. home, and made, a test by the Democrat themselves, for Republicans never thought of making unusual exertions till they aw what their op ponents were doing. Mr. Hendricks wa$ beaten at home. Though Shelby countv has always been Democratic, by 3ü0to5üU uiajority, Mr. Hendricks, on a test made bv uiinseu, is Daaiy Deaten. ine Kepublicans carried Addison township (Shelbyville) by majorities ranging from bO to 155, and eight of the thirteen Trustees iu the whole County were carried by the Republicans 11 1 A more complete victory was never gained by any party, and if Mr. Hendrick's friends want to get the benefit of the "telling effect" ol it, they have our permission to publish it all over the State. We will try and help them. A great many cheers for Shelby. Ind. Journal. I : 1 V , t m . ... The Chicago Convention.

We have seen two or three cases during this week where serious, con sequences had well nigh followed this foolish habit. One occurred on Friday evening, in front of our office. We believe there is an ordinance of the city against this practice, and we think it would be an advvantage [sic] to those who indulge the habit, were it enforced in a few instances. It would perhaps cure them of the habit and save them from much loss and damage hereafter. ———<>——— Local Caise.

"Local causes" will be prevalent during the balance of this year, we presume.

BORDER COItRESPOXDEXCE. St. Jostrn, Mo., April 4, IbCü. Editox Express : Doubtless cany of your readers would be glad to hear what is going on out here upon the "borders of civilization," and as I have a few hours leisure to-day, I propose to give yu a few of the leading items of news. The latest excitement which our people

have experienced was the starting of the great Poney Express, hich left the U. S. Express office, in this city, at precisely 7 o'clock last evening, amid the loud and prolonged shouts and huzzas of the mul titude, who had aembled to witness the inauguration of this great enterprise. Speeches appropriate lo the occasion were made by his honor, Mayor Thompson, and Mr. Majors, Et-q., of the firm of Russell & Majors, proprietors of the Poney Expns. Telegraphic dispatches were received from all parts of the Atlantic Statt s, up to the very hour of starting, and ere this letter reaches you the citizens of San Francisco will have read their contents, lt is pro posed to make the trip in from seven to ten days, or five or six days earlier than the same news can be transmitted by the i teaniihip line. It is rumored here that a wager of $20,000 was made in New York luu the rteamer which left that port f..r j Q . . . ' ,n rrancisco me same uay me messen ger of the express, left that city, would brat the Toney Express through, but every one who ia at all acquainted with the route and the facilities of the company, are confident of the success of the enterprise. After the packet had been made u and the rider mounted, the Mayor in voted a bleiiig on Li in and bade him go, when he was followed by the multitude to the ferry lauding, each and every one in his heart wishing him God speed. The startiog of the Express from this poiul establishes beyond all controversy, that St. Joseph is the starting point to Pike's Peak aud Utah, and that the central route is the nearest and most practical one for the great Pacific Railroad, which mutit, sooner or later, tpan the desert bej tween here and the Pacific coast. Our city is already jammed with crowds of gold hunters, and still they come. Reports continue to reach us that the mines are increasing in their yield daily, though of their reliability you know as much as we do here. I would uot advise any one who has anything to lose to make a trial of it, for I have seen enough fo convince ine that where there is one that makes there are fifty that come back "dead broke." i Doublles you have learned, through the papers, of the little joke perpetrated by the Governor of this State commonly yclepted "drunken Bob" upon St. Louis. I refer to the veto of the railroad aid bill. A bill granting State aid to the Pacific railroad wa passed by the late General Assembly, and as the news spread throughout the country, bonfires were kindled and speeches made in St. Louis, and along the line of said road; but, alas ! for the whims of mortal roan, the embers of the bonfires had scarce gone out when the telegraph announced that "drunken Bob" had vetoed the bill, and curses loud and deep were heaped upon his devoted head. The honorable Governor resides in this citv, and now, semi-occasionally, pays us a visit, but there "are none so poor as to do him reverence." No one teems to have any confidence in him, and when he is here you will always find him in the lowest Irish doggeries in the city. Last winter he was here two or three weeks, and the whole time so druuk that he was oblivious to everything passing about him. The truth is, the people of Missouri feel, and that keenly, too, the disgrace brought upon them by this roan, and are anxiously awaiting the lime for the regular gubernatorial election, when they will throw him "higber'n a kite." I should like to give you a few items of local news, but space and time will not admit at this writing. More anon. Hoosita. A xxw Emtesfripz, ako a Success. A "broad tread" car loaded with lard, left St. Louis on Sunday uight, March 25ih, and passing over the T.H. A. A St. Louis, aod the T. II. A R. Railroads to Indianap olis, thence to Cleveland and Buffalo, and thenee to New York city, which place it reached on Saturday, the 31st, without "breakirgbulk." Leaving New York en Monday last, loaded with merchandise, it passed this point qn Saturday morning, on its return to St. Louis which place it would reach that night. This is an experiment put on trial by Mr. W. D. Griswold, the enterprising Superintendent, and as this trial has proved a success we doubt not it will be carried forward with great advantage to the road of which he has the management. That our readers may all fully understand the object of lliis undertaking we will state that from St. Louis to Indianapolis the gage of the road is 4 feet 6j inches, thence to Buffalo the gage is 4 feet 10 inches, thence to New York it ia again 4 feel SJ inches. Tp obviate the difficulty of get ting narrow tread cars over tie wide track from Indianapolis to Buffalo, Mr. Orhwold had constructed broad wheels which, on the narrow (rack, would extend over the rails, and when thej reach the wide track they will cover the rails, by this means passing over the entire line of the roads, without the necessity of re shippiog freight. The whole arrangement is highly credit able to the genius and intelligence of Mr, Griswold, and will prove a great couve nience to the shippers, and a vast profit to the narrow track roads ol the West. Two weeks from St. Louis to New York and return, with a full freight, is an a .a acnievment wormy me age in wmcu we live, and of the intelligence of the man who devised the plan by which it could be accomplished. Rnoicisos ix Coxkkcticct. The Repub licans of New Haven, on Tuesday night, gave themselves up to demonstrations of satisfsclion at Iheir Stale victory. The Wide Awakes and tbe General Republican Club formed in procession, and marched about the city ; aloog the route were fire works and illuminations in profusion. The procession, which numbered nearly 3,000, filled to overflowing the II all of Free dorn, and listened to addresses. The Journal and Courier says' that the Democracy pnrsuod their usual course, and assailed the procession with brickbats, some of which inflicted serious injury. On Monday evening, the Democracy prematurely exulted over the supposed election of J- E. English, their candidate for Lieutenant Governor. A crowd of eight or ten hundred went to rejoice with him, and look a brass band with them. Mr. English thaaked them for elecliug him, told them they might have elected a belter man, but he would take the office, and do his best to dischsrge its duties. Then the crowd hurrahed, aod Mr. English invited them all into the Tontine to driuk an invitation most cordially accepUd. Unfortunately, If r. English wss not fleeted,

Kdltorlal Excursion to 'Washington and Baltimore. We find the following in the Baltimore

American of the 29lh of March, by which it will be seen that the arrangements for the excursion is of the mo.st ample character, and is worthy the well-known liberality and sagacity of the managers of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad: The arrangements for thia extensive and liberal affair are progressing under considerable enthusiasm and a general appre ciation expressed in advance or the occa sion. 1 htre is a peculiar ntness in this excursion, in view of the set that the Bal timore and Oiho is the only direct railroad line that connects Washington City with the Western States. Although this great road has been working through from the Ohio river since 1653, it is only within a few months past that it rosy be said to have become fully completed. For a long time after its öpcaing, tho temporary engineering structures and the rugged uufinished tunnels formed serious obstacles to the prompt and satisfactory working of trains, and gave more or less alarm and dissstis faction to the traveler. Now, however, that these difficulties are removed by a thorough and solid arching of every tunnel, and by the erection of splendid iron bridges and other massive and durable structures, the road presents, in addition to us attractive scenery and careful manage ment, every inducement for a much ex tended travel between the East and West. As it has been so fashionable in the far W et nd Southwest, especially I teresled agents of other hues to di for in i cz-rart i t the character of the Baltimore and Ohio road, it is hoped that tho visit of our edi torial brethren from those regions will, af ter their personal inspections, do somo- j The list of invitations now emb:ces the formidable array of some twelve hundred or more veritable and actually existing newepspeis. In our sister State of Ohio alone,- the number Is said to reach two hundred or more. Aathe time for which the invitation: tickets are valid has the range of two . months from the 15th of April lo the 1 5th of June it is probable that a large.numbcr of the editors will be able to visit Washington and enjoy a good look upon the assembled wisdom of the country, aod the many olber attractions of that rapidly improving national centre To afford a better idea of the scope of this invitation, we append the following extracts from an advance copy of the cir- ! culars of invitation which are now about to be issued: ! "Sin: Recognising the services which the press of the Western States has r n dered iu advancing the railway interests of the country and desiring to enable them to judge, by personal inspection, of the advantages of thisronle between the East and V est. (which ia the only through line direct to Washington,) the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company and its con nectinj; lines in the West, wish you to accept this invitation for yourself and lady to visit the Capitol of the Union, and the Home and Tomb of Washington, as well as the city of Baltimore, during the present Bess:on of Congress. "You will observe that the privilege is good for the entire route from to Washington City, and Mount Vernon, which is one of the Eastern termini of this road. The names and termini of the con necting lines West of us, by whose courtesy we are enabled, in part, to offer you this privilege, may be found in the next page of this circular, and also on the back of tha ticket nrlnstd. It is proposed that, as far as possible, all who accept our invitation shall travel over the Western portions of the Baltimore aod Ohio road by daylight, in order that they may more fully realixe the grandeur of the country through which it runs, as well as the success with which extraordinary natural obstacles have been overcome in building this solid highway through tbe passes of the Aüeghanies." This circular also explains that a special train will leave the Ohio river on Fridav. I May 4, for such of the guests as can make it convenient to reach Wheelio at that time, tho Company requiring notice, in ad vance, from them to that effect. The cir-

As will be seen by his advertisement in another colun n. Mr. David II. Arnold is in the field at his old quarters, northeast corner of the Square, with clothing for the ruillions. We have had an opportunity to ex amine his stock of ready-made clothing, as well as his slock of fine fiurnishing good for gentlemen, and are convinced that in every respect they come fullj up with the timea and the spirit of the age. Mr Arnold is so well known in this communi ty as a straight-forward. iprigbl business man, that wo deem it only necessary to say that he will give his personal ondl vided attention to his business, with i Tiaw to make it profitable alike lo himself and to his customers. In the furnishing department will be lound Mr. D. Hartsock, with his usual "winning ways," and polite courtesies. ready ta take "measures" and insure "fits," aud to exhibit the finest stock of gentlemen's furnishing goods ever braught to this city. But why amplify, Mr. D. H. Arnold is well-known, Mr. D. Hartsock is ell known, " Water mellon Corner" is well known, and his unrivalled stock of clothing and furnishing goods cau easily and cheaply be known and worn by all men. "Huf ced."

If this is a general reflex of the Mirror, we should call it a falte one. Every body in this city knows there is no such institu tion here, and no one knows A. P. Darlon or A. W. Chance !

Reany, the active detective belonging to the Cincinnati Police force, with the particulars of the arrest of the supposed perpetrator of the robbery upon the Adams Express Company at Vincennes, Ind. Reany, after hearing of the robberry, in company with another officer, visited the scene and made an examination of the safe. They found that a panel had been taken out of the back door, but a close scrutiny made it apparent that it had been taken out by a person inside the office. They were also satisfied that the hinges of the safe, from which the money was taken could not have been broken, without the door had been opened. It was to them evident that the door had been opened with a key, after which the hinges were broken so that the robbery would appear to have been perpetrated by an outsider. The result of this close investiga- tion was, that James Reynolds, the Express agent at Vincennes, was arrested and held in bonds of $5.000 for examination." ———<>——— ANOTHER INCENDIARY FIRE.-About 11 o 'clock last night our city was again aroused by the startling alarm of the fire bells, caused by the burning of the Dry House of Mr. George Kerkhoff, on the canal bank west of Dr. Ball's residence. The fire department was quickly on the ground, but owing to the difficulty of getting water the building was almost entirely consumed before a stream could be got to bear. When they did get water they extinguished the fire at once. There was nothing in the building we believe. This is the second incendiary fire within a week. Let our citizens be on their guard. ———<>—— UmovaD. By reference to his advertisement, in another column, it will be seen that Dr. 8. D.
