J. Si. SILi VERT HORN, Associate.
Philip Koch, Jr., will be supported by
all of the Unconditional Union men for
Real Estate Appraiser. He is a young
man well qualified for the position, and
is not an inveterate office-seeker.
Shortly after the commencement
of the war. Bernard Xi rre held a few
of the Franklin Streett'ily Bonds, as did
several other citizens. At a time when
the city was' cramped for money he
pressed the payment of those bonds in
order that he might injure the credit of
the city. No other holder of the bonds
thought of doing so. They felt an inter
est in sustaining the credit of the corpo
ration, while Mr. Nurre was laboring to
break it down. What speculation the
old gentleman was exercising hia " ac
quired business habits of the highest
order" to accomplish, we never learned.
Whatever it may have been it miiit have
failed, for the motive in pressing the pay
ment of his bonds, at the time, -was so
palpable that the effort only arouse! con
tempt for the individual making it.
The Union men will unite on
Charles E. Marsh for Prosecuting At
torney. Mr. Marsh has for some months
past been filling that position with credit
and should be retained. He will prove
his. a terror to evil-doers.
John Hall, of Knight township, is the
candidate of the Unconditional Union

Our merchants and manufactur
ers are greatly interested in the Ohio
election, and are anxious to hear of the
overwhelming defeat of the traitor Val
leudigham. Do they not know, that an
enthusiastic admirer of and sympathizer
f'.th Vallandigham is running for
Countv Commissioner? Let them show
their antipathy to the infamous traitor
by defeating his admirer. To-day is the
time to do it.
We have learned on good au
thority, since the reception of the enm-
munication giving an account of the glo
rious Union meeting in Spencer county
on Saturday last, that eight hundred and
seventy-Jive dollars were received for the
Sanitary Commission, instead of $720,
as stated in the communication.
The communication also did the Cop
perhead meeting at Newtonville on the
same day, injustice. It says they didn't
raise "nary red.'' This is a mistake, we
are told. They raised the large sum of
twenty dollars. We are anxious to learn
how many there were at that meeting, so
that we can calculate' the exact amount
subscribed ly . ach Copperhead.
If Bernard Nurre was the only
man, out of a Court House full of stock
holders, who regarded him as fit for the
position of Railroad Director, can intel
ligent business men, mechanics and la
borers endorse him as fit to make the
proper disposition of the revenues of Van
derburgh county?
Creditable. We understand that Mr.
John Wayman is particularly down on
Bernard Nurre for not taking action for
the relief of soldiers' families, and that
it will go against the grain to vote for
him. We put this to Wayman' s credit.
If V7J- -, linwdvor. r..,rnnt PI1-
dorse his associate for Commissioner,
can there be found a solitary Union man in
the whole county who will vote for Nurre?
We think not. A vote for Nurre is a
vote against soldiers' families and a vote
for Vallandigham's principles.
As Important Question. The City
Council of Terre Haute, at their meet
ing last week, appropriated 82,000 to
purchase fuel for the families of soldiers
in the army. If Mr. Nurre is elected
County Commissioner to-day, how much
dtes any suppose will be appropriated
from the Treasury of Vanderburgh
County for a like purpose ! The friends
of the soldiei-3 should ask themselves the
question before voting to-day.
Editors Evansville Journal
Perhaps you have heard of the great
Union Mass Meeting to come off at Cen
treville in this county, on Saturday, Oct.
10th inBt. Well, the meeting assembled,
and here follows a short account of
it. Early on Saturday morning the peo
ple began pouring into Centreville all
ages and sexes came from every place
in the county, and some from other
counties. Two excellent Brass Bands
vied with each other in pouring forth
their soul-enlivening music. Before ten
o'clock a. m. , there were present some
1500 persons. Capt. Reavis was then
introduced by Judge DeBruler to the au
dience, and entertained them for more
than one hour in his usual style deal
ing heavy blows against rebels north and
south, and exhorting the people to lay
aside all partv feeling, and support the
administration and the country, and the j
friends of the country. That there was
no such thing as compromising our diffi- j
culties, only by suppressing the rebellion.
He closed bv allndine to the suffering
of the soVWs.ui the field, and how well
they desti . ed our eympathy. He was
frequently ;nterrupted by long continued
applauso at made the welkin ring;
and as he dosed, three rousing cheers
were given for Capt Reavis, after which
Judg'j DeBruler arose and made an ap
peal for aid for the Sanitary Commission
to aid Indiana sick soldiers, when the
large sum of $720 in greenbacks was
raised upon the spot within fifteen min
utesl Judge DeBruler headed the list
with $50, and Ex-Lieut Smith, late of
the 42d Indiana, gave fBU.
We were theu invited to a sumptuous
feast by the ladies, who had spread out
their danties all around the stand, which
was both abundant and delicious Judge
DeBruler was then called to the stand,
where he spoke an hour, in a manner
both creditable to himself and the occa
sion. He took especial pains to dissect
the Vallandigham Democracy, anJ call
ed on all to forsake it, an 3 stand by the
country in this hour of peril, lie spoke
feelingly of the soldiers icho were fight
ing our battles, and dwelt with severi
ty on those at home who wanted
to disfranchise them. He then conclud
ed and sat down amid uproarious ap
plause, when three hearty cheers were
given him by the crowd.
Doctor John Hougland then got up
and dissected some of the Vallandigham
ers in a manner that brought down the
crowd with roars of laughter and ap
plause. He dwelt mainly on the Spen
cer county politicians. After three
cheers- had been given for Dr. Hougland,
Capt. Laird, formerly of the 25th Indi
ana, and who was wounded severely in
the leg at Fort Donelson, was called out
and addressed the people for a few .nin
utes as a candidate for County Auditor.
He 'was greeted with prolonged cheers,
and his friends entertain no doubt as to
his election, and you will record Spencer
county strongly Union after Tuesday
next. Mark that
You will remember that the Butternut
Democracy ran an opposition meeting
within three miles of us. We were told
by some of them that they intended to
beat us in numbers and in raising sani
tary funds. We learned from a respon
sible source that there were only 300
persons, all told, at this meeting, and
they talked a little about the Sanitary
Commission but raised " nary red."
Yours, &c. UNION.

Washington, Oct 11. Intelligence of
an authentic character did not reach
Washington till last night that the rebels
had abandoned the lino of the Rapidan
and retreated southward.
On the fact being made known yester
day morning at Gen. Meade's headquar
ters, General Buford's cavalry was sent
across the river.
The enemy's evacuation had been
.....1 s a? . J -1
completed, un proceeding lniana ne
came upon a portion of Stuart's cavalry,
evidently covering the retreat of. the
rebel inlantry. Considerable skirmish
ing ensued, but it did not result in our
ascertaining whether the enemy was fall
ing back from Gordonsville, or whether
it was attempting some flank movement
to get between Meade's army and Wash
ington, in a similar manner to Stonewall
Jackson's movement on Pope over the
same ground.
The prevailing impression seems to be
that the rebels have gono to Gordonsville
and Richmond, where suiT'cient garri
sons may be left, and the remainder of
Lee's army has been sent to reinforce
Braetf and Beauregard. If. on the con
trary, the enemy is attempting a flank
movement, our forces are fully prepared
for it.
Col. Porter, Commissary at General
Meade's headquarters, has come up to
night and reports the rebel evacuation of
the line of teh Rapidan has been most
complete, and has been very rapidly
made.
Special to the Times.
Washington, Oct 11. As some fears
have been produced for Gen. Rosecrans'
safety by published statements that no
reinforcements h. d reached him up to
the 8th inst, it may be said advices from
Chattanooga are satisfactory. He is not
only strong in the centre but his flanks
are now well protected.
Rumors again fly thick and fast re
garding thejretrograde movments of Lee's
army and the advance of Meade's army.
Of the first nothing deflnite is known
and of the last nothing definite can be
said.
Gold is accumulating in the Treasury
and will be kept there, until specie, pay
ment is resumed, except at recuring pe
riods. Two divisions of Longstreet's corps
weresent to Bragg. Pickett's division,
which was so badly used up at Gettys
burg, was left behind. None of A. P.
Hill's men were sent, and a division of
Ewell'8 corps was first sent to Charles
ton,
leaving in the front of the army of the
Potomac about 40,0O men or two
corps.
Gen. Lee's headquarters were at Or
ange Court House, but he has lately
spent a large portion of liis time at Rich
mond. Special to the Tribune
Washington, Oct. 11. The reply of
the President to the Missouri-Kansas
delegation is again postpoued, the Pres
ident having received a communication
from a member of the Cabinet, whose
sympathy with the wishes of the delega
tion is well known. He has reserved his
decision a few days longer.

We have just heard of a case of mod
esty (?) that ought to be embalmed in
our local histc along with the case of
Ben Xurre voting for himself for Rail
road Director.
We knew before, that Mr. John Way
man had a great conceit of his own abil
ities, and imagined himself the only man
who was qualified to transact the public
business; but we thought him possessed
of self-respect sufficient to restrain him
from sitting as a jadge on his own case,
and supposed that he had some regard
for public opinion.
When there is only one voting precinct
in a township, the township trustee is,
ex-officio, the inspector of elections, but
when there are more than one precinct in
a township, the county commissioners se
lect inspectors for the other precincts
not supplied by the trustee.
Our Commissioners (of whom Mr.
Nurre is one), in selecting inspec
tors, chose Mr. Wayman as the in
spector for the Lamasco presinct,
although Mr. Wayman was a candi
date for Real Estate Appraiser! The
board, forgetful of all propriety, honor,
and decency, deliberately put a man in
as inspector who, as a candidate for one
of the offices to be filled, had a personal
interest in '.he result of the election. To

Incredible as it seems, Mr. Wayman
has selected his judges and does intend
to act as inspector ! He has expressed
no other intention that we have heard
ot It will be a crying shame for him to
do so, but it seems that he intends to
defy public opinion, and act as inspector.
What does he mean? Does he sup
pose that there is no other man in La
masco who is qualified to act as inspec
tor? Has he no sense of propriety end
justice left ?

Terrible Accident.
One of the most terrible calamities
that has ever happened within the limits
of this city occurred on Saturday after
noon last, about half past two o'clock.
The draw of the bridge at the foot of
Ohio street gave way with a crash, pre
cipitating to the river beneath eleven
persons, two wagons, four horses and a
number of cattle, and causing the death
of three men, three girls and one boy.
The immediate cause of the draw break
ing through was the rush of a drove of
cattle on the lower side of the passage
way. The cattle were coming to this
side, and at the same time two wagons
were going west, one containing the
three men drowned, the other Mrs. Fran
cis Thralls, her son and daughter, and
two little girls of Mr. Henry Miller of this
city. Directly behind one of the wagons
were three small boys who were going
over in the bottoms, nutting, The wagon
in which Mrs. Thralls with the children
was seated, and the boys, went down in
the draw. The horses swam down about
one hundred yards and were rescued.
Ihe east portion of the draw tilted and
sent the other wagon with the three men
through the bent east of the draw,
drowning or killing the three men and
the horses.
The news of the accident soon spread
through the city, and in a short time the
bridge and banks of the river were filled
with people, anxious to learn the extent
of the accident, for at first it was not
known how many lives were lost. A
number of persons immediately went to
work in small boats, with polls and
hooks searching for the missing, and by
dark all the bodies were found. Ft was
indeed a sorrowful sight, as one by one
they were taken up and lain on the river
bank. Nearly all the unfortunate ones
were sorely bruised by the fall.ng tim
bers, or by striking the rocks "below, and
to these causes, undoubtedly, may be at
tributed the great loss pf life.
The names of the killed and drowned
are, Patrick Monk, James Slaven, Pat
rick Kearney, Missouri and Annie Mil
ler, Willie Brecount, and a daughter of
Mr. Prancis Thralls, who lives near St.
Mary's.
The three first named were teamsters,
and all, ve understand, in the employ of
Wm. McQuilkin, coal dealer, about four
miles out from the river. The next two
were daughters of Mr. Henry Miller of
this place, and the boy a son of Mr. Bre
count, living opposite the Stewart House.
The persons saved were Mrs. Thralls,
her son, and two boys, Edward and John
Dunn. Mrs. Thralls caught on some
timbers ad was taken in a boat. Her
son held to the horns of one of the oxen.
Eddie Dunn was saved by his dog, which
grasped him by the collar and carried
him safely to the shore, whilst John Dunn
swam out
One incident connected with the re-
covery of the bodies is worthy of more
general publicity. All had been tound

and the approaching night was about to : X" Apple-Butter, by philip schrimer,
compel the search to be abandoned, j
when some one suggested that by placing
quicksilver in a loaf of bread and putting
it in the water, it would stop directly
over the body.
Accordingly a loaf of bread was pro-
cured, and two ounces of quicksilver
placed in it, then taken about fifty feet :
above the bridge and Ihrown into the wa- I
ter. It floated down in the current, j
which is quite strong at that place, when '
suddenlv it stODDed and circling around.
wm apparently about to sink, when a
gentleman in a boat caught it, and grap
pling hooks being put down, the body
was found directly beneath, in from eight
to ten feet of water. We have read of
this mode some years since, but sup
posing it one of the many superstitions,
had almost forgotten it What the phi
losophy is we cannot tell. Will some
one afford some light on it? Terre
