Jacaaoa FRIDAY M0KN1NG, APRIL 8. A Calumny Kefutrd. A ahort time since the Cincinnati Commercial chargol that the Hon. D. W. Voorijees had creed Ooferoor 8ethhr. of New York, to re ist the draft ia tbat State, assuring him that if be wouM do o, he would be backed ia the posi tion by the Democracy of the Northwest. A CArd appears ia that paper of Wednesday from Mr. Voorhelm, containing a letter from Got. Seymour, in whice the Utter states that he nerer bad any conversation with Mr. V. on the subject or communication of any kind. We republish the card of Mr. Voorhem, not onlj to correct the slander of the Commercial, but to show the vatemalic efforts binjj made by the Republican pre to misrepresent act Tillify Democrat. A party that resorts to such Infamous measures to sustain in ciuse. will certainly be overtaken with a riirhteom retribution, for we he an r aViin MiiS.ience in the ober second thought of the people and an overruline Providence. When tht reaction tike place, a it a-uredlj will, we shall pitty the men who, to adrance their scheme of pern tl apgrHndiiement, hve wüfuily and rnalicioaslr nUndered their political Opponent.

I cxnoot imagine what could h-re given rise to any statement so absurd and unfounded, as we never had any conversation or communication of any kind, direct or indirect, relating to such sub ject. Truly yours, Horatio Seymour. Hon. D. W. Yoorhee, Washington.

If Tour charge was true. I would be an unfit person to lire in .this Government, and would leave it without delay. Would it not be well for the edi tor of pipers of such extensive influence as your, to be somewhat careful in making un founded statements which narrowly concern a mm' life, liberty and honor? Your obedient servant. D. W. Yoorhees. Anollior Münder. We copy the following from the Cincinnati Commercial, to illustrate another int.mce of malicioua falsehood by the abolition pie: A CorTERHEAD GiETO TUE KlGHT PLACE. Bay less W. Hanua, Petce Democrat and luemher of tho Usl Indiaua LegUItture, hs et n excel lent example w his oolitical Ihend. Uein a rebel at benrt. and thoroughly a miithizmg witli the Confederate, he ha packed up his trap, and, according to the Evansville .Journal, pissed through the Federal liiie.- into the ConfeiJeracy. lie State! that his object w to write a biogruphy of the rebel leaders, but there seems to be no doubt, among those iutiunte' itn him, that he goes a au emisatry of U.e Vallandighauj De mocracy, and is iu the iuteren of that class of cuu4Dirtors who aMMpsinaie veteran soldiers at home to aare Con teder ae soldiis that trouble. Utona will be remembered as the revolutionary leader of the last Indiana Legislature, who in troduced into the House the ceiebiaied Milit.iry Hill, which, in the face ul the 6ute Conutution, attempted to wrest from the (ovenioi aII military power, and ltanter it to a Military Hoard, com poed ol exactly uth rebels as Hann himself. Falling iu tbia tcheuie. and lit all otfiers calcu lated to create civil war iu Indiana, in aid of his distressed brethreu in Dixie, he has at last re moved to a more congenial latitude, where, it is to be hoped, he will remain till called tor by the hangman. The Commercial tuake these statements upon the authority of the Eransville Journal, a dirty, maliguant. lying partizan press, without a grain of principle or honor. Upon fuch authority, the Commercial, which professes to be a respectable paper, is willing to utter the most atrocious slaa ders. Mr. Hax.va hts cot paeJ through the Federal lines into the Confederacy . Some weeks ago he went to Chattanooga, e believe, upon profe.ioaal buines. The Quartermaster of the 2i Indian Ca airy was piaeed under arret, charged with pecuiatiousot sujme character. He seat fur Mr. Uaxxa as a leal adviser and to t?e ftnd Lis cae baiute the Cu.iil Martial, appointed t investigate the rLitm Mgainl hitu. Thi ia the sole object ol Mr. Ha.n.va's Tisit, and wbeu the cae is tra-d he will return Louie. Thej fcU the Cou.tnercial I could have aceruiued if it d.tretl to do ?o, but instead it takes the olatemtnt of a lying pres, (and that bUtemeut coined out of whole cloth to gratify ji cialevoleiice.) to ba an intaaous charge to excite prrjud.ee agaicat and to iujure a poliLtal opponent. And U ill not be forgotten that tbi same Commercial, in the fall of 1?60. advocated the right of the dissatirSed Sutes to withdraw from the Union not only, but expressed iu entire willingness that they shou!d go. " LxTTiso or CojrricT On Tuesday Itüt the Board of Directors of the Northern Indiana Prison at MLh!jr,au City entered into a contract with Me.r. June.

Frrnj tha Clnctocatl ITif CnrrenL j ""rork racklrrr Inlhe Urn. The important chanpe which hve taken plat e in the production of pork in t!ie Wet, dur ing th lt three vers, have been remarkb'e. Previous to 1?61. the cnp did not vrj over four or five but.drel thousand hogs, being some times one or to hundred thousand above, and then the same amounts below to millions; but in 162, the picking run up to nearly three mil lion; in lrC3, to more than four million; and this seaaon, it hat fallen off more than three quarters of a million. That thee rapid and extensive changes have been the consequences of the effect which the civil war bad upon commerce, cannot be denied, because we find the greater portion of the increase of one yer and the decrease in an other, in those districts of the West which have had their natural and oul channel of commerce (the Mi;sippi) shut up by the war. It is true that, from le57, the Immense emi "cration which wa kept tip from the East to the fr Wet, until l&Ct). has lei to the cultivation of a vast quantity of the rich lands of Iowa, and to a rapid increxre of agricultural productions in that State; and the same caue in Illinois and Miouri, has no doubt hd considerable influence iu producing the great Increase in the pork crop of the last few yeart. Were it not for the bad failure of the corn crop of lat year, consequent upon the cold ungenial summer, and the killing fronts of July and Aug ust, there can be no doubt that the pork crop of the pat season would have exceeded that of any previous seaon by half a million of hogs; but the failure of the corn crop has shortened it seri ously lioth in number and weight, and beyond what was supposed last fall. Last fall, the full extent of the failure was not known; but the im- pre-sion was general that there would be a marked deficiency in the ork crop, and packers in the West accordingly made their estimate of prices at a high point; and yet the result has shown that these prices were far below the aver rage rates paid during the season and that prices have advanced beyond all expectation as the season procresed. The season has been a most profitable one to the packers generally. Farm ers, owing to the high price of corn, sold off all the hops they had in condition fit to be diposed of; and the high prices tempted them to sell even thoe they intended for home use, to a very great extent, supposing that they would be afterward able to buy cheaper the cured pork, no doubt Thi has not only lett the Wet bare of hogs, but it has generally reduced the uu-l supply of summer meat held by farmers, nnd will lead to a large home consumption during the summer m ntha. There will aIo be a great falling off in the supply of fat hogs for the summer trade, notwithstanding the unusual high price now be ing paid for them; this with the high price of beef, must neces-sarily further increase the home consumption. The unexpected high prices paid for bogs, and the unrroniising condition of the English mar kets, greatly diminished the quantity of boxed meats put up for England, the pat as compare! with the previous season, us will be seen by re ferring to the exports fiom this country since De cember last, compared with the same lime in lcb3;but it is s uppoed that the expected in crease in home consumption, and the great de crease in the production, will more than offset this There h.sbeen n falling off in the foreign ex ports of lird; also in the h me consumption; and" taking into consideration the heavy stock of old lard on hand when the new crop came into mar ket, we think it mav be ßa lei v stated that nn amount fully equal to the present reason's crop is still in tl. hands of dealers, chiefly iu the Wel. Without further remarks we now hall pro ceed to give the packing statistics of the past season, compared with tliO;-e of the previous season : INDIANA. 186-2-3.

Indeed, the great deficiency in the production of lard this season, whirh w.d renerallv kuowu from the commence ment of the season, made packers rather indis posed to sell even if there bad been a demand, and the result was. prices were put up materially at the commencement of the season, and still re main above a shipping point.

The Democracy of Madison elected their entire ticket on Monday last by increased majorities. The majority for Marshal is 144; for Treiurer,134;aiid for Clerk, 149. The average Democratic majority last Spring was about fifty. The result of this elec tion shows a healthy state of public sentiment. The Madison Courier very naturally accounts for it by the constant accessions to the Democratic ranks. The Electiox ix Exaxsville. Considering the circumstances the Democrats and conserva tive citizens of Evansville, made a gallant tight last Monday. Though beaten for the most of the city end township nfticers they have carried the Courcil a point of great importance and main tained the'r organization intact. The possession of the city Council ives Ud a large and impor tant patrunage, and really puts the whole control of city matters into our hands. We congratulate our friends over this grand result. This is the beginning of anew era in Evansville, the first step to the overthrow of a system of petty tyran nies which have been practiced here lor years. Times. The Elections ix Putxam Couxtt Dem ocrats have cause lor congratulation in the re sult of the township elections on Monday last. Excepting Greencastle and two or three other towiifhip.s, where abolition majorities are always looked tor, they carry every township in the county, and the aggragate Democratic majority is greater than that of last year. And in the ex cepciona we have named, their opponents have cause lor lamentation rather than rejoicing. A few mote such "victories" will prove the death of them. Iu Greencastle township their majority of two hundred last year has. been reduced to something less than one hundred and fifty this year, and thus exhibiting a Democratic gain of fifty xoie And this without nuy pre deter mined effort on the part of the Democracy, save that which was inspired by the action of the Seciet League iu bringing out a ticket on the day of election. Had Democrats exh bited half tlir vigilauce of their opponents, the result, we doubt not, would have been still mote gratifying to the friends and damaging to the foes of consti tutional liberty. Greencastle Pres. Melancholy Occurrence During the storm of Tuesday evening last, the barn of Daniel B. Gray, in Cloverdale township, was struck by lightning, setting fire to the barn, which was consumed with all its contents. These con sisted of corn, hay, uats, tobacco, and firming utet.sils. Three horses were also burned to death, and a fourth rendered useless by the flames. Bu; the most melancholy part of the catastrophe is vet to be told Mr. Gray and an other old citizen, John Moore, aged about sixty years, were woiking in the barn at the time, and were toih burned to death! Mr. Washington Allee bately escaped a similar fate, having left the barn a moment previous on on errand, and was knocked down by the lightning, but not seriously injured Greencastle Press. Ienny Ivunia Democratic. The uprising of the people at the late spring elections in this State, against the traitorous con spirators at Washington and the unhappy aboli touists who support them, seems to have been very general There appears to be no exception to it in any part of the State.

Abundant progeny played at their doors, or rolled in their yards, watched by several unkempt, bedraggled moth ers owning common hu-band and we could easily understand how neither of these should feel much interest in the looks of a demeuseheid by them In yucb enbappy partnership. The humblest New England cottage has iu climbing flower ml the door posts, or iu garden bed in front; but how quickly would these wither if the neat brisk houae omtress owned her husband in common with with Mrs. Dearon Pratt next door? The first Mormon household I ever visited be longed to a son of the famous Heber Kimball, Brigham Young's most devoted follower, and nextbefoie we entered Silt Lake, situated at the bottom to him in the Presidenev. It was the last tage station but one of a green valley in Parley's Canon, (named after the celebrated El der Parley Pratt): and as it looked like the resi dence of a well to-do farmer, I went in and ask ed for a bowl of bread and milk the grtatest possible luxury after a life of bacon and salt spring water, such as we had been leading in the mountains. A fine looking, motherly woman, with a face of full character, gray-haired, and about sixty years old, rose promptly to grant my request, and while the horses were changing, I bad ample time to make the acquaintance of two pretty young girls, hardly over twenty, holding two infants, ol ages not more than three months apart. Green as I was to Siintly manners, I supposed that one of these two youug mothers had run in from a neighbor's to compare babies with the mistress of the house, after our Eastern fashion, universal with the owuersof juvenile phenomena. When the old lady came bck with the bread and milk, and both of the young girls addressed her as "mother," I was emboldened to tell her that her daughters had a pretty pair of children. "They are pretty," said Ihe old lady, demure ly; "but they are the children of my sou;" then, as if resolved to duck a Gcniile head and heels into Mormon realities nt once, she added: "Those young ladies are the wives of my son. who is now gone on a mission to Liverpool young Mr. Kim ball, the sou of Heber Kimball; and 1 am Heber Kimball's wife." A CONVERSATION WITH HEBER. One day in the opera house t Salt Lake, when the carpenters w ere laying the floor for the Fourth of July Eve bill, Heber and 1 got talking of the pot pourri of nationalities assembled iu Utah. Htber waxed unctiously benevolent, and ex pressed his affection for each succeeding race as f ast as mentioned. I love the Danes dearly! I've got a Danish wife." Then turning to a rough looking carpen ter, hammering ner him "You know Christiny eh, Brother Spude?" Ob, yes; I kuow her very well." A moment alter "The Irih are dear people. My Irish wile js among the best I've got." Again "l love the German! Got a Dutch wlte, too! Know Katrine, Brother Spudge? Remember she couldn't scarcely talk a word of English when fhe come eh. Brother Spudge?" brother Spudge remembered and brother Heber continued to trot out the members of his marital t-tud for discussion of their points with his more humble fellow pdyg;imift of the ham mer; but when I happened to touch upon the earliest Mis. Heber, whom I naturally thought he would by this time tegard as a forgotten fossil in the lower Silurian htrata of his connubial lite, and referred to the interview I had enjoyed with her ou the afternoon before entering the city, his w hole manner changed to a proper husbandly dignity, an i, without seeking corroboration from the carpenter, he replied gravely: "Yes, that is my first wile, and the best woman GoJ ever m ide!" On the Fourth of July Mr. Ludlow and his two Gentile friends attended the grant4 ball of the Saints. After describing the appearance of the streets, as the Saints Hocked from the entire region roundabout to the holiday attractions of the city, Mr. Ludlow says: A well-to do Mormon at the head of his wives and children, all of whom are probably eating candy as they march through the metropolitan streets in solid column, iooks to the unitiated like the principal of a female seminary, we.ik in its deportment, taking out his charge for an airing. Last Fourth of July, it may le remembered, fell on a S ituidav. In their ambition to repro duce ancieut Judaism fand this ambition is the key to their whole puzzle) the Mormons are Sio batarians of a strictness which would delight Lord Shaftesbury . Accordingly, in order that their festivities might not encroach on the early hours of the Sabbath, they had the b ill on the Fourth of July Five, instead of the night of the Fourth. I could not realize the risk of such an encroachment when I read the following sentence printed on my billet of invitation: DANCING TO COMMENCE AT 4 P. M. Bierstadt, myself, and three other gentlemen of our party, were the only Gentiles whom 1 found invited by President Young to meet in the neighborhood of three thousand saints. Under the-e circumstances I felt like the three thousand homoeopathic dilution of .nonogamy. Morality in this world is so mainly a mt er of convention that I dreaded to appear in decent polygamic so ciety, lest respectable women, owning their or thodox tenth of a husband, should shrink from the pollution of my presence, whispering, wiih a shudder, "Ugh! Well, I never! How fiat one wifed reprobate can date to show his face!" But they were very polite, and received ine w ith au skillfully veiled disipprobatioti as isshon by fashionable Eastern belles to brilliant seducers, immoral in our tense. H id I been a woni.m, I suppose there would hive been u-i mercy for me. P.nsing o er the de J ri t on of Ungarn Young, we quote a poitioi. ol Mr. Ludlow's conversation with him: "You find u,"said he, "trying to live peieea bly. A sojourn with people thus minded must be a great relief to you, who come from n land where brother hath lifted hand against brother, and you heir the confuse 1 noise of the warrior perpetually ringing in your ears.'' Despite the couiily deference and Sciip'ural dignity of this speech, I detected in it a latent crow over that ' perUhed Union" which w;is the favorite ilieme ot every sunt 1 met iu Ui.Li. and hastened to assure the President that I have no desire lor relief from sympathy with my coun try' strutjyle lr honor and existence. "Ah!" he replied in a voice a slightly tinged with sarcasm. "You differ greatly, then, from multitudes of your countrymen who, einte the draft began to be talked of. hive pissed through Salt Lake, flying wertward from the crime of their brothers' blood." "I d, indeed." "Still they are excellent men. Brother Heber Kimtinll and mvself kre every week united to addies a train of them down U Emigrant Square. They are honest, peaceful people But they sire true, good men. We hnd them very truth-seeking, remarkably open to conviction. Many of them have staid with us. Thus the Lord makes the wrath of man to praie him. The abolitionists the same people who interfered with our institutions and drove us into the w ilder ness interfered with the Southern institutions till they broke up the Union. But it 's all com ing out right i great deal better than we could have arranged it for ourselves. The men who fiee from abolitionist oppression come out here to our ark of refuge, nJ t-eople the asylum of God's chosen. You 'II all be out here before Ion?. Your Union's gone forever. Fighting only tuakes mam rs worse. When your country h is become a desolation, we. the saints whom you cat out, will forget all your sins against us, and give vou a home " Hber Kinibill informed the critic how the or thodox number of wives was to be obtained 'or these new converts. "Why," said the old man, twinkling his little blick eyes like a godly Silenus, and nursing one of his fat leg with a lickerUh smile, "i-n't the Lord Almighty providin for bisbelovel heritage jt as f,,.r na he anvway kin? Tbr war's a ioio on till the biggest part o' your male Gen tile has killer! ecb oll. er off; then the little hmdfu! that's left und comes a Seem' t our asylum 'll hring all the wocea o the nation along with 'em; so we hall hev women enough to give very one on 'em all they want, and bev a large balance left over to distribute round among God, saiou that hex been here from the begin nin o the tribulation. The sweet taste which this diabolical refection eexed to leave in Heber Kimball'a mouth, made me long to kuock him down worse than I had ever felt regardiug either saint or sinner. But it i cotlr to smite in Apostle of the Lord in Salt Lake City; and I merely retaliated by telling him I waled to Lear bim say that io a lecture room fail of Sanitary Commission ladies scraping lint for their husbands, sweethearts and brothers in the Union army I didn't know whether salnta made good lint, but I thought I knew one who'd get scraped a little. Ol the general aspect of "the ball," Mr. Lud low writes: After spending an bour in a circuit and survey of the room as minute as was compatible wiia decency, I arrived at the following results: There was verv little ostentation In dtess at t the bill, bet there was also very little taste in dressing. Patrician broadcloth and silk were the rare exceptions, geoerally ill-made and ilJ-worn.bat they cordially associated with the great mass of plebean tweed and calico. Few ladies wore jewelry or feathers. There were tome pretty girls swimming about in mateful wbip syllabub of puffed Urletan. Where saintly gen tlemen came with several wives, the oldest gen erally was the most elaborately dressed, and acted much like an Eastern Chaperon toward her yout ger siters. (Wives of the same man habii ually besister eich other in Utah. Another tri umph of grace!) Among the men I saw some very strong and capable faces; but the majority had cot much character in their looks iudeed d.ffettd little In that regard from any average crowd of men anywhere. Among the women, to my surprise, I found no really degraded face, though muiy stolid ones only oi-e deeply dejected, (this be longed to the wile of a hitherto wonogamic hus band, who had left ber alone in the dress circle, while he was dancing with a chubby young Mor moness, likely to be added to the family in a month or two,) but many impassive ones; and though I saw multitudes" of kindly, good tem pered countenances, and a score which would have been called pretty anywhere, I was obliged to confess, after a most impartial and anxious search, that I had not met a single woman who looked high-toned, first class, capable of poetic enthusiasm, or heroic self-sacrißce; not a single woman w'iom an artist would dream of and ask to sit for a study; not one to whom a 6nely con stituted intellectual man could come for com panionship in his pursuits or sympathy in h's yearnings. Because I knew that this verdict would be received at the East with a "Just as you might have expected!" I cast aside every thing like prejudice, and forgot that I was in Utah, as I threaded the great throng. THK TALK OF THE SAINTS. Men, everywhere, unfortunately, tend little to ward the error of hash fulriess in their chat among eac h other, but the most of" us at the Eat would feel that we were insulting the lowest member of the uemi monde, if we uttered before her a single sentence of the talk which forms the habitual staple of all Heber Kimball's public sermons to the wives and daughters who throng the Sunday Tabernacle. Keber took a vivid interest in Bierstadt'a and my own eternal welfare. He quite laid himself out for our convertion, coming to sit with us at breakfast in our Mormon hotel, dressed in a black swallow-tail, buff vest, ami a stupendous tunicate cone of Leghorn, which made him look like an Italian mountebank physician of the sev enteenth centurv. I have heard men who could mi-quote Scripture for their own ends, and talk a long while without saying anything; but he so far surpassed in the-e particulars the loftiest ef forts within my former experience, that I could think of no comparison for him, but Jack Buu- sey taken to exhorting.
