Clair speaks to-nigbt. Tome early, mid come in force. iItmakk able Rofibery. On Thnrs. dav night a gentleman whose family is nhsent fro the city, was invited to stay all night at the Schiller House, on First Street, between Vino and Sycamore.

Be tween 10 and 11 o'clock he retired to bd with the landlord, Mr. Sohmer, fas tening the dior himself on the inside. In the morning the landlord arose, 1 and after dressing, attempted to open i the door, but found it was locked and the key on the outside. I His friend at once arose and discov- ered that his pockets had been rifled of their entire contents, consisting of a watch, some money and other small article-, amounting in all to the val.ie of about fifty dollars. M- Sohmer upon exminatioa discovered that he too had been robbed to the extent of some z-inety dollars.

From the sensations experienced by the two men upon awaking, they believe they had been put to sleep by the use of chloroform. Their theory is that some thief or bur glar had secreted himself in the room I before they retired, and after they had fallen asleep, had plied them with Chloroform, rifled their pockets and then returned, looking the door on the outside. Three cr four men who had stopped at the house the night before were suspected and searched, but no clue to the missing articles obtained. Persons will do well to lock into their closets and under their beds before retiring at night Sale of Confiscated Promrtt. Pepnty I.

S. Marshal Bigelow, on yes" terday, sold, under the confiscation act, a life estate in 150 feet square on the corner of First and Oak Streets, includ. ing the improvements, formerly the prop-j nrty of E. H. Fairchild, now in the South em Confederacy.

i Tne purchaser is Mr. It. B. Speed, and i the price paid is 85,175, which is consid- ered a good priea and much higher than many supposed it would sell for. jfJCtV Capt Fitz Williams informs us that he will receive a few more recruits.

He has but a few more days in which to do up that kind of work. Those who desire to enlist in a famous regiment and ri'eeivo the large bounties, had bet ter give him their names. His regiment is the Indiana, and is now on its wav to the front. Half-Fare Arrangements have been made with the Railroad Companies to carry persons to the Convention at Indianapolis to-day at half fare or for full fare over, to be returned, free on Wed. nesday.

From what we learn we are of the opinion that the number going from the First Congressional Pistrict will be very large. Brevities. A Man Frozen to Peath. An un known man, apparently forty-five years of age. of light complexion and hair inclining to gray, was found frozen to death on Wednesday morning last, on Pearl Street, in the rear of Gleun's Block, at Indianapolis.

It is supposed he laid down while intoxicated. jtf- Eight dollars a cord was asked for wood on Wednesday last at Indianapolis. 5-The newspapers are frequently called upon of late to chronicle the shooting of soldiers at the various camps abont Indianapolis. Two or three a week is about the average. On Tuesday night a member of the 11th Cavalry was killed by the guard.

Military discipline is severe and must be enforced. The 6th Indiana has re-enlisted, and is on the way home. Re-enlisted men of the 37th Indiana are arriving at Indianapolis.

The Iceland Moss Pasio and Fig Props are a great delicacy, and we can recommend them with confidence. Mr. Hallock keeps everything usually found in the most complete drug establishments, and is worthy of a most liberal patronage. Give him a call. The Navt Yart.

We would remind our citizens of the meeting at Masonic Hall to-night, to consult on the snbject of the proposed Navy Yard to be located at this point As this is a matter of vital interest to the city of Evansville, every man of influence and enterprise should be present.

To further this on-ject I beg Jto oue or two thoughts to the. Doctor's valuable su.s-r;e:ions. First. Ought not the city authorities, including the Hoard of Health, to ado; prompt measures for the establishnior.t of a hospital for the accommodation of all patients that cannot 'obtain nroner mre nrf iimr.i nr Tt families, to be under th: nxclueive 1 charge of a Physician of experience and i a. i oecond.

Lverv intelligent medicat man know8 that Taccin.f anJ other cutaneous diseases mutually influ- ence each other, and important modifi cations are the result; so that, when lr- regularity and divergence from the gen uine cause and nature of the disease oc-eurs, it cannot be relied upon as preventive 'against small-pox infection. Spnrious vacine disease is often produced even when genuine matter has been employed by reason of the preoccu-pancy of the system of some cutaneous disease.

Sometimes it may nrise from the use of matter which has lost its propogating qualities, or that has been taken from a spurious pustule. Such causes have created doubts in the minds of many professional men as to the conserving power of vaccine di ease against small-pox; but I am fully persuaded, after a careful observation on the subject for more than thirty years, that with an operator who is skillful and well informed as to the characteristics of genuine vaccine disease, and who employs pure matter in subjects whose sys tems are not occupied by antagonistic disorders, almost invariable success will follow the employment; andJl eeery case it will modify and greatly reduce the violence and fatality of variola. From these considerations I would, therefore, earnestly enforce the closing suggestion of Pr. Walker, that vaccination be universal as to the subject, and let me add, select as to the Let the proper authorities, both of the city and county, appoint two or more competent physicians, whose experience will justify the confidence of the public, to visit the various wards of the city, and each township of the county, and the mPsns and protection to every one, in a timely and effectual manuer. Finally, let the most stringent mea- sures be employed to ferret out and isolate every case, t7o" or malignant, of the infectious disease, providing for them everv comfort and attention thev require.

There was not a great deal of business yesterday on the levee, and comparatively few arrivals.

The great Superior got in from Memphis at three o'clock yesterday morning, having had a successful and paying trip, having been crowded with passengers all the way down and back. She went out about four o'clock yesterday, with a very pretty trip, with large engagements below. The Bowen and the mail did not go out yesterday, for reasons we could not ascertain, and the Superior took all the packet freight and passengers. The Geneva passed down, with a nice trip, for St. Louis.

The famous Commercial came in yesterday evening from Cincinnati, with a splend trip, for Memphis. Sho lelt a small quantity of freight here, and pro. ceeded on her voyage. The swift-winged Liberty No. 2 followed the Commercial ia a short time, crowded with freight and people, Capt.

Wes." Conner and Harry Walker being in most excellent humor. The Carrie went out about dark, with about 400 tons of freight, partly on Government account, and her catiti well filled with passengers. Capt. Hazlett was born and reared on our native heath," in the Old Dominion," and is one of the most accomplished genJletnen that ever walked a quarter-deck, and we predict for him and his beautiful Carrie a profitable trade hence to Nashville. The Duke did not go to Louisville, as we were told she had, but went to a corn-pile above, where she loaded for Nashville, to which port she proceeded, after returning here last evening.

The Havana arrived from Louisville last evening, and is loading here for Nashville on Government account. She has just been sold by Capt. Sweeney Brother, at the handsome price of $30,000, to Messrs. W. E.

Gibson of Aurora, and Capt. Ira N. Malin, of Vevay. Capt. Malin, whom we found to be a very clever and affable gentleman, takes command, and Mr.

Dorsey continues in the office. She will leave at noon to day for Nashville, ami will take all passengers offering, for which she has superior accommodations. The Belle Lee left last night for Nashville, with a full cargo of Government stores. The grand Armada, with those model officers and highly sociable gentlemen. Caps.

Josh. V. Throop and Fred. Huston, as her chief officers, will be the unrivalled packet for Paducah and Cairo to day at two o'clock. The popularity of the Armada and her officers is daily increasing.

Perry McGriff and Zacb. Taylor will give special attention to freight. Ths magnificent Big Gray Eagle will be the splendid and desirable packet for Henderson and Louisville this afternoon. There is no boat afloat more universally and deservedly popular than the Big Gray Eagle, and Capt. Jim Lusk and Mr.

O'Bannon are in every respect wor thy to command her, while Mr. Ashcraft enjoys ajreputation, as second clerk, un. excelled by any man in America. The Cordelia Ann, having been thoroughly re-paired, will leave this evening for Nashville and all way ports. The Cordelia Ann is a popular little boat; and her chief officers, Capt.

Fran 2 Dusou-chett and Mr. Ronald Frisbee, are pleasant and accommodating gentlemen. The Cumberland is rising slowly, with four feet large on Harpeth Shoals. The Albany Ledger of Thursday says "Two barges, containing about three hundred Government wagons, were seek last night about twelve o'clock at the island just above Louisville. Ine wind blew a gale, and the loss, however unfor- tunate, was unavoidably lhere was also a coalboat belonging to Capt.

Roberts, containing 7,000 bushels of coal, and a coal barge lost at the same time. "Capt Thos. Dean has sold the Lady Franklin to Capt E. B. Granger for $23,000.

"It is reported that the new steamer Intrepid, built at Pittsburg, has been sold to parties in St Louis for $40,000." The Done No. 2 and Lacrosse passed down about midnight last night, loaded to the guards with army supplies for Nashville. Captain Pepper's new Alice Dean is finished and made a trip on Thursday, She leaves Cincinnati this evening for Memphis, and will be here on Monday. The river from Pittsburg to Cincinnati on Thursday wa3 full of floating ice, almost causing a supension of nav-Ration. Here there was scarcely any ice, and Wtiai tune mure san was BO light that it was broken up by the waves caused by the high winds.

Steam Navigation ok White River. The recent arrival of the Lizzie Winkle at Indianapolis from Waverly, has sent the old time chroniclers of that city to their reminiscences. Antiquated news- paper hies are rummaged, and the his tory of the steam navigation of White River is set forth. The pioneer of the great enterprise appears IO nave DStn i Noah Noble, who used pursuasions and monev to induce Some advcnturORS captain to explore the stream. Mainly i itMieii tJOrg wn, through his representations, the steamer Victory (in June.

1S30) ascended to Spencer, Owen county, where, on a of the rapidly falling rirer, aha h. discharged her cargo and returned. Dur m. inSthe preceeding April, the TraveU of thirty tuns burthen, from Louisvill had trrived at the same port, but shf too, speedily put back. In April, 183.

on the 11th day thereof, the grand achie ment was accomplished. The steam Robert Hannah, purchased by a company of contractus on the Cumberland Roa for the purpose of carryins stone frt iu i luc ueu ui iu lower river quarries, rired at Indianapolis. The event wa I the occasion of public demonstrations and rejoicings. Meetings passed coa gratulatory resolutions, the big gun was fired, and the captain was feted and lion-; lzed. The boat, though, was found unf.t for the business, and, after giving a party ladies and gentlemen a pleasure trip to Broad Kipple, turned toward Oh i and was wrecked on Hog Island.
