Friend Glenn, of the Rising Sun Timet, gives as a reason for not attending the Convention of Editors in this State in May next, that among other duties he has to attend babies occasionally. Friend G. won't you take charge of the editor of the New Albany Argus in addition to your present little responsibilities? The thing is very cross, but as you have considerable experience in such matters, we think you can perhaps manage him without much difficulty. It is said that a young mm dieJ very suddenly in a town in some of the eastern state?, and that no other cause than his extraordinary growth of five inches in an hour is given. We think the editor of the New Albany-Argus, j . . ' b ' should begin to quake, for his growth has been even more rapid than that of the youth above mentioned. The Junior editor of the Indiana Democrat, has issued proposals for publishirg a Literary Periodical, to be styled the Astorun. We think the character of the work will be mure cieany maicaiea uy me rami .ss - tory an. mmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

As this is so well known j and so fresh in the reccollection of all i who were In any way conversant with! the subject, it is not a little surprising ! to witness the etforts which have been thus attempted, in order to create ; dissatis-factioiinndBchism, with a view! to crinnle the 9'ate in her operation,.

Would not a resort of that kind, at this time, endanger the whole system? We all know that when public benefits arc to be confer cd or expected to be so, they ought to be equalized as far as possible, in order that they may be well sustained by public opinion. Indiana is a young and rapidly growing slate. Her principalmarts of business are yet in a great degree to be . formed. Those therefore who are interested In the speedy construction of one woik, combining bo many advantages to them, would be found reluctant to yield, we apprehend, their claims in order that others might be put for. ward.

Lieutenant Tatnall believes the in. vasion of Texas will not be repeated. The military preparations of Busta. mente are considered by intelligent persons as intended to maintain his

authority at home, against the popu. larity of Santa Anna with the people. Baltimore Patriot. New York Money Market, April 4. Extract of a letter dated; It is certain that there.is no quiet in the money market, though there is no ter. ror, such as was felt last week, when all were looking for a general crash Let the Globe say what it may of Mr. Biddle's arrangement, it sued New York from a threatened bank, ruplcy ; for if such arrangement hud not been made, there would have been at this time one hundred and fifty failures in Aezo ork City, not of men insolvent, but ofmen who are rich, and whom the Southern and Western merchants cannont or will not pay. It was a great move, for it put oil' the exportation of specie, and has created a credit beyond our next cotton cupThe ingenuity of it will strike Euro, pean capitalists, with surprise, and it will raise the financial character of our country as high as lis moral and physical character is.

JNlen, during the continuance of their lives, may look back upon nu mcrous instances in which they have overreached things, wounded and destroyed the peace nnd happinocu of their fellow mortals, but such re. trospection, in stead of yielding pleas, ant emotions, must invariably cause poignant regret whereas the remern. brancc of even a single act of benevo. lance, a solitary instance of the ad. vanccments of the interest and consc. quent happiness of their fellow earth, ly sojourners produces the liveliest sensations of joy and such must be the reward oi those who have in any wise contributed to the establishment and maintainance of institutions, the opcr. alions of which, give new life and light to a numerous class of the mem. bers of every civilized community. Citicinnatli Whig. The. long Snow Storm, The longest snow storm that was ever known in England, took place in year 1614. It is recorded iu the register of the parish of Wotton Giibert, that it began on the 5th of January, and continued to snow every day until the 1 2th of marcn. The loss of human life and cattle was immense.

OCfUpon the first nrrial of Dr. Buchanan, in this place, it was proposed to him to call at Dr. Bennett's shop; and examine II W T 11

some skuiis. lie accordingly went, and in presence of Dr. Bennett, Capt. Kirtly and one of the Editors of this paper, passed his opinion upon three skulls that were shewn to him. Of these skulls Dr. B. had no previous knowledge, nor could he have had any. No intimation was given to him of their churacter, awl he proceeded to their examination us soon as it was told him there were any skulls in the place. The first lie described, in substance, as belonging to a being ; mild, respectful, sly and cautious ; a man of accurate observation and memory, but of little reasoning powers rather unsocial a i treacherous fiit n l, and capable of cold blooded cruelty, though of a disposition by no means ; violent in general very cowardly, and capable of no daring ' crime, though of mean and dastardly ciime he might be guilty of the greatest . This was the skul! of Conway, who was hung, last spring, at Fulton, for the murder of Israel : B. Grant, and with the circum- ; stances of whir l) , the public are ' familiar. The individual, to whom the second skull belonged, was described as having been hold , da rj ing and rash a man v. ho, v hen 1 excited would resist altark, or 'execute his revenge, w ithout reigrd to prudence; or safety ol social leelms, am fa II! II alii lions of little sense of character of strong devot'ional tendency of mechanical skill and mo.lerne uin;nci, iiiuiiu uiufi uoui the first. ; This was the skull of a white , man, hest known hy tlie name of "Old Sam," who was executed i nt this place, a few years ago, for the murder of u Mr. Rouse in New London, the seat of justice rney In open day, under cover ofun unoccupied house he shot his victim, who was publicly mingling with his fellow-citizens. The indications of the third skull were pronounced tu be. ordinary intellect, moderate mural sentiments sliong passions a disposition far more fierce, revengeful, violent and impliicaldr tlian tip', of either of the others. Of this skull little is known. It is that of an Indian, believed to have been of the Ioway tribe. Facts like the above ought t go fur in establishing the truth, of the science of lhi cnonlogy. Many such examinations have been made, and opinions formed with equal correctness both in Europe ami America. Dr.jSpur,heim in one instance even pronounced upon a brain which had been taken out o( the skull, and taken before him whilst lecturing. If Phrenology then enables us to infer character with correctness from an examination ol the skull it must be an accurate science, and a great number of such combining facts where few exceptions occur, would present proof irresistible at least of the high claims of the science. During the few weeks that Dr. Buchanan remained in this place, wc believe that his examinations of living heads, were quite as convincing and .:r i.a,Vu,y, iu most of those who witnessed ,vno wunesseu j. . . them. He gave correct opinions as to the prominent points of character; and sometimes delin - tinti sunt 1 1 1 iii j huiiiieated with detailed accuracy. In savins this much for Phrenolo?v o J we hrtve merely given facts which have happened tinder our own immediate observation, and we think it right, that in our search after truth, in all sciences not certain, such facts should be made public, that they may have

their legitimate influence. Columbia Mo. Patriot.

' and the"Chiefof the Expungers." It is stated, in letters from Wash ington, that Mr. Benton is the author of that part of Gen. Jackson's farewell address, which relates, to the currency. If this be so, the Missouri candidate for the Presidency has taken advan tage of the popularity of the old Hero, to strike a blow at his rival, Mr. Uives, whose opinions upon the currency question are known l0 he adverse to those of the great expunger. Mr. Ritchie of the Richmond Enquirer, who, of course , fa vors the pretensions of the Virginia Senator, paid a visit to Washington a few days pgo, and, it is sdd, infrceded, in person, with Gen .Jackson, to induce him to sign Mr. Rives Currency Bill. The reply uf the Ex-President was however of Mich a nature as not only to overwhelm the "man of seven principles" with confusion, hut to show conclusively that Mr. Rives has noth'K'g to expect from him upon this subject of the currrncv. He is n hard r,.o;n y man, and goes -ill lengths with Mr. Benton. I'rcdonian. Th ) L .
