is not a " Conservative," according to
the Prentice deSnition of the word. We
are informed by a gentleman who is em
ployed in the Interior Department that
Mr. Usaer is in favor of the most thor
ough and effective measures for putting
down the rebellion, and for keeping it
down afteVrrt is overthrown. He regards
slavery as the cause of the rebellion, and
favors a conrse calculated to render it
incapable of fomenting any more trouble.
We are indebted to JeHN A. Gka

Washington, for public documents. Mr.
Graham was formerly Canal Commis.
sionerin this State, and lived in Warrick
and Dubois counties. He was, for many
yearji, clerk of the courts in Warrick
couftty. When appointed clerk iu the
Treasury Department he resided in Keo.

The Festival.
PREPARATIONS.
For the last two days the ladies con
nected with the Walnut Street Presbyte
rian Church have been making prepara
tiortS for their Fair and Festival, which
opened last night with great eclat, and
the most encouraging success.
The spacious audience room was used
and the preparations were in keeping
with the well-known energy and liberal
ity of the congregation that worships
there, and the room, nnder the rich, mel"
low light of the numerous chandalien,
with its elegant ornamentation, its lofty
ceiling, and elaborately-furnished tables,
shone with almost orteutal splendor.
THE ASSEMBLY.
In consequence of the military ball at
Masonic Hall, the crowd was not espe
cially great, but still the large audience
room of the church was well filled, and
the assembly was a most pleasant one.
Almost all the various denominations
were represented, and a most excellent
social goad feeling prevailed. All seem
ed to enjoy themselves, and to endeavor
to make the entertainment as pleasant
as possible.
THE TABLES.
There were several tables, where arti
cles of a multitudinous variety were of
fered for sale. These were generally
presided over by fair young divinities,
whoso winning smiles were irresistible,
and the young gentlemen, and the mid
dle aged even, went in regardless of ex
pense, and the sales were, we 6hould
think, quite large.
Tha.-WPi". tttUes were bounteously
n HtiT ! nil . with. tk most tempting COTO -
estib.es, and were presided over by la
dies of more mature age, and thither
flocked crouds of young gentlemen with
blushing damsels on their arms, and a
host of gentlemen of 45 or who wish they
were, for all the difference it would
make in their years and especially in
view of the approaching draft, and oys"
ters, and cellery and hot coffee, and ice
cream and other delicacies, disappearing
with magic celerity.
Those who attend to-night, and the
nnmber'wiH doubtless be large, should
not fail to call early and often at the
east end of the room, where they will
find an abundance of good thiugs. dis
pensed respectively" by the firms of Mc
Ferson, Drew & Company on one hand,

other;
THE PCLP1T.
The magnificeut marble pulpit attract
ed much attention and great admiration.
It is composed of very handsome varie
gateo! marble, neatly and chastely carved,
and of very beautiful design.
It wae oonstrncted-under the superin
tendence of Mr. M. A. Lawrence, by
whom, as we understand, it was present
ed to the church, and does infinite credit
to his good tas'ts and liberality.
the orux.
The great attractiou of the evening
was the grand organ, the very finest
perhaps, iu the west, which has just been
set up anil put in tune by Mr. E. C. Le
Droit, of Boston, a most skillful and ac
complished rnnsfcian and organist, and
withal a very sociable and pleasant
gentleman.
The organ was manufactured by Wm
B. D. 8immonds & Co., ol Boston, whose
reputation is world wide. As a piece of
furniture the organ is magnificent.
Made of Rosewood of the finest finish,
of 11 feet front, 8 feet in depth and 15
f eet high, with 21 Stops and a double
sett of keys with piano arrangement
The great organ contains the following
stops: open drapason, dulciana, clara
belie, principal, 12th, 15th flute, mix
ture, and trumpet.
The swell organ contains the follow
ing : open diapason, stop diapason, bass
and treble, principal, piccalo, hautboy
and bassoon, pedals, pedal and grate,
pedal and swell, tremblent, pedal cheek
and bellows signal.
Its deep, mellow tones, under the mas
terly touch of Mr. LeDrott, filled the au
ditorium with the most delicious melody.
This fine instrument cost about $1,800,
and is a striking evidence of the high
state of perfection to which human skill
and ingenuity has attained in the 19th
century.
Onr talented young friend and fellow
citizen, Capt C. W. Drew, will manage
this elaborate instrument after its per
fect inauguration and dedication.
The entertainment will be repeated to-
night, " with an entire change of pro -
gramme," as the showman says, and we
can assure those who were abseat last
night, that they will be greatly the losers
if they remain awav to-night.

An Unfounded Klmor Positively:
No Postponement. For some days
past an unpleasant rumor has been cir
culating among some of the little peo
ple, to the effect that Old Santa Clau3
would not make his annual visit the
coming Christmas on aceouut of tho
war.
The thunder'of canuon, the rattle of
musketry, the shrieks and groans of the
dyinir, it was thought, would so frighten
his timid reindeers evenlif the fumes ot
, , ,. , , . , t
t owdor f moke didn t stifle them that it
1 , .... ,,,
would be impossible far ".Old .ick to
, ,. . . .
make his usaal rounds. Many little
-
i round, merry faces grew long and sor
: rowful as, gathered around the house
hold fire, they discussed the unpleasant
rumor. Some, with large faith, insisted
that Santa Claus was no coward, and
wasn't afraid of gunpowder, because he
was used to bearing fire crackers "
and pistols every Christmas, and his deer
wore too well trained to scare at a noise
they had so often heard. Others, more
desponding, insisted that while Old Santa
Clans was accustomed to fire crackers,
rockets, pistols, and all that, he wasn't
in the habit of traveling when they shot
bullets, and cannon balls and bomb
shells, and they were really afraid the
old fellow would back out this year and
wait "till this cruel war is over."
Yesterday afternoon, while medita
ting upon this unpleasant rumor, so har
rass'mf; to little folks, we were arouspd
frorricrtir reverie by a lively tap at the
door. "Come An," we said. The door
flew open and there he was not the old
fellow, but his traveling agent, who
looked as though he might be a son
of the old man his eyes bearing the
same merry twinkle and his countenance
glowing with health and good humor.
" Knowing it is customary for traveling
agents to call first on newspaper men, I
come," he said, "to inform the little peo
ple, through the columns of your valua
ble and widely circulated Journal, that
the reports that Santa Claus will not ap
pear as usual, the coming Christmas, are
without foundation." The rumors to the
contrary have aroused the indigna
tion of the old gentleman to a high
pitch, and consequently be has laid in
a larger assortment of articles calcu
lated to delight his young friends than he
ordinarily carries. " I have a few sam
ples," he continued, "which I will sub
mit to your inspection." This merry
little Angust was a shrewd fellow, and
knew exactly what we most admired, fori
before you could say Jack Robinson, he
opened out before ns such a variety of
books that we were completely bewil
dered. There were stories for boys and
stories for girls; there were Mother
Goose's tales, and tales of Cock Robin;
stories about animals; stories about good
boys and bad boys; pretty girls, and ugly
girls; books in blue and gold, and books
with pictures. Besides all these, there
were magnificent Bibles, all " done up "
in Morrocco and gilt. He had also a
large assortment of Photograph Albums,
of every variety, in Morocco and velvet
There were papier macho portfolios,
beautiful in design and arranged inter
nally just to suit the caprices of ordcr
iOving young ladies. '
Having satisfied onr curiosity by a
hasty examination of tho samples spreal
out before us, we informed the agent tbat
we thought they were worthy a favorable
notice; but, we added, have you a sup
ply on hand sufficient to supply all the
youngsters in our Iargeicity? "Yes,
yes," lie replied, with a knowing wink
and nod. "We have established our
headquarters at Dobell's Bookstore,
on Main street;" saying which, with a
polite bow, he disappeared.
Josh. C. Cobb, of Eddyville, Ky.,
was in the city yesterday, laying in a
new stock of goods. Josh., though but
just past 21 years of age, was, as he just
ly contends, the sponsor and god-father
of Capt. Josh. Throop, who was named
after him. Cobb is a gay and festive
cus, and withal a very sensible fellow, as
we know by the same token that he sub
scribed for the Daily Journal, and paid
a year s subscription in advance. Cobb
and father are the merchant princes of
Eddyville.
Personal. We had the pleasure yes
terday of making the acquaintance of
Col. Alexander, of Calhoun. Kentucky,
one of the most devoted Union men in-
brave old State of Boon, Hardin and
their brave compeers.
When the war broke out Col. Alexan
der gave up a lucrative office under the
government, and took up arms in de
fence of his government, and at Fort
Donelson and Shiloh, did distinguished
service in command of a battery.
The Colonel does not fully subscribe
to all the policy of the present adminis
tration, but he declares very promptly
that if the negro stands in the way of the
perpetuation of the government, let the
negro go. He also believes that every
traitor has forfeited al! right to both
property and life, and that their proper
ty should be confiscated, and the pro
ceeds placed in the Treasury of the
United States,to aid in paying the expen
ses of the war.
Beautiful Christmas Presents. Our
young friend, Wm. E. Hallock, has just
received some of the most magnificent
Perfumery it was ever our pleasure to
look upon. His stock for the winter is
now complete, consisting in part of beau
tiful gilt and flowered" boxes, containing
bottles of exquisite new Psrfuraes, real
ly enchanting to inhale; fine Toilet Ex
tracts, in Bohemian, gilt, cut and flow
ered bottles and vases; pretty little bas
kets, filled with pretty little bottles of
sweet odors; Cologne Water, all sizes,
styles and prices; Pomades and Cosmet
ics in great variety ; in fact, his selec
tion is one of the most magaificent ever
offered to our citizens, and Uev should
j not let this rare chance of purchasing
' holiday presents pass by without giving

The Military Hop. There was
a gay aud brilliant assemblage at Ma
sonic Hall, last night the beauty, the
gallantry and chivalry of the city, and
" bright lamps shone over brave women
and fair men. "
There music rose with ila voluptuous swell,
And alt went merry as a marriage bell.
Good order and a vast delight prevail
ed, the hours glided swiftly and sweetly
by, and the grey streaks of dawn gilded
the East, ere the gay scene closed.
The Hall was elegantly and tastefully
decorated with the banner of glory, and
of beauty, and the radiance of the fair
ladies and the glowing happiness of the
gallants, transcended all expression.
The supper, superintended by Charley
Habbe, was elegant and luxurious. We
undertake to say that a more magnifi
cent ball was never given in this city.
Only Think op it! Billy Caldwell

200 dozen eggs; 20 cases Styles' corn

dressed chickens. He says that he is so
well convinced that our people love good
eating, that he has no fears' he has over
drawn the thing in laying in such quantities.
The Hockport Democrat says the
total amount paid the Spencer county
