TOWNSHIP COMMITTEE.

Bill Poole, a notorious prize fighter

nnd bully, died in New York city a few days since, from the effect of injuries received in a drunken brawl in a coffee house. Being a member of the Know-Nothing fraternity, ho was buried with great honors, the entire wigwam turning out. It seems that Poole had rendered great service during the late elections, by breaking the beads of adopted citizens who had the temerity to go to the polls. From the feeling expressed by the brethren, we think they will erect a monument, surmounted with pair of huge brass-knuckles to perpetuate his fame and renown. We think the president, vice president, and corresponding secretary of the Crawfordsville wigwam, should bestir themselves in hiking up collections to aid in the work. The corresponding secretary with his exhortation powers could do a great deal. Bughum Bagpills should have prayers said for the benefit of the great prize fighter's soul, whose last words were—"I think I'm a poner," a fate which is fast befalling the entire tribe of midnight Hindoos throughout tho length and breadth of the

LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW. The January number of this excellent Review is now upon our table. We cannot urge too strongly upon our ci'izens the propriety of subscribing for these British periodicals, which are promptly issued by Leonard Scott & Co., 54 Gold St., New York. The terms of subscription are as follows:— Any one Review or Blackwood, S3 a year. Blackwood and one Review—or any two Reviews, 85. The four Reviews and Blackwood, SlO. Four copies to one address, 830. The present is a favorable time for new subscribers to begin. The following are the contents of the London quarterly:

ART. 1. Fires and Fire Insurance. 2. Life of Dalton. Atomic Chemistry. 3. Pictures of Life and Character. 4. Psycological Inquiries. 5. Clerical Economies. 6. The Open Fire-place. 7. Provident Institutions. 8. Campaign in the Crimea. 9. Corsica. 10. The Conduct of the War.

(£r We notice that Graham & Bro., are having their corner fitted up for Spring business. Henry Winton has just completed a sign for the firm, which for elegance and workmanship will compare with any thing of the kind seen in our large cities. We suggest that the merchants who design occupying the new Commercial Block have similar ones. They would not only look much better than the old dilapidated ones now in use, but would be ornamental and give the block a finer appearance.

g3T At the present period, Crawfordsville is one of the hardest places for a poor man to live of any in the habitable globe. Every article of consumption is selling at New York and London prices. Notwithstanding Hour is only worth $7.50 in Chicago and §[email protected] in New York, it still sells in the little town of Crawfordsville for SO. House rent is cxhorbitantly high. Old dilapidated rookeries whose every crevice teems with vermin, rents for prices that would astonish a New.York landlord. Unless things change, Crawfordsville need never look for an increase in her population.

COUNTKRFEIT DOUBLE EAGLES.—TheBuffalo Democracy cautions the public against counterfeit $20 pieces. They are of precisely the same circumference as the genuine coin, but not as thick. Being composed chiefly of gold, they are heavy, weighing about §13 or «S14. Detection is easy, as, for some reason, the makers have placed the word "sold," in small, raised letters, at the lower edge of the head of Liberty.

PERSONAL.—LEW. FALLET, one of our heaviest and most enterprising merchants, arrived home from the east a few days since. He has been absent for some time, making his spring and summer purchases. His stock which is now looked for daily, will be the largest and most complete of any ever brought to Crawfordsville. The large trade which Mr. F. has enjoyed since he opened business in our town has been steadily increasing, and we understand that his stock of boots, shoes, &c., now on the way, is composed of the very best material, and will be sold at extremely low prices, as he designs doing a large business, and wishes to make quick sales and small profits.— We advise our readers to examine his stock as soon as it arrives, as we are confident they will be suited both in quality and price. Mr. James Russell, the enterprising and obliging clerk of the establishment, will be found at his post, and will be happy to show young ladies something in the fancy line which has never yet been brought to this market.

NEW FIRM.

One of the firms you sometimes read of has recently been formed in our town. It consists of the following named gentlemen: Joel Lee, John Lee, John Ferguson, Robert Beck, and Thomas West. We are inclined to think that this team will take the lead of all others in Crawfordsville. They design bringing on an immense stock of groceries, which will be sold at wholesale and retail, also a heavy stock of dry-goods and queenswarc. An establishment of this kind has long been needed in Crawfordsville. The country merchants throughout this and adjoining counties can now make their purchases at this house on better terms than at Lafayette or Cincinnati, as their stock of groceries will be purchased in the New Orleans market and shipped direct to New Albany, and from thence by railroad here, affording advantages and facilities equal to any inland town in the west.

A MAMMOTH POT-PIE.—A pot-pie. made of the following materials, was manufactured on board the frigate Constitution, at Port Mahon, 1821, for a Christmas dinner: 151 turkeys, 0 pounds fresh pork, 40 pounds salt pork, 1 bushel onions, 5 pounds pepper, 1£ barrels flour, and 50 gallons red wine.

t3T A single pound of flaxen thread, intended for the finest specimens of French lace, is valued at §600, and the length of it is about two hundred and twenty-six miles. One pound of the thread is .more valuable than two poundftjof gold.

LATER FROM CL'BA.

A letter to the N. Y. Herald from Havana dated the 27th ult., informs.us that the Captain General is resorting to tbe most summary measures to man his ships of war. A few days before the boatmen in the harbor of Havana w^re summoned before an officer, who, after making a register of their several names, ages, places of birth, fcc., authoratively told them, "You twenty are appointed to serve on board such a ship you thirty on board such a one for four years, at six dollars per month," until they were all subdivided amongst the different Spanish ships of war upon the station. A few found means to present memorials of respectful remonstrance, but they were answered, "If you grumble at being told to serve the Queen for four years, you shall be made to serve eight years instead so the poor fellows had to submit in silence, fearful, if they did not, that some further punishment would be inflicted upon them. "What makes this more cruel, senior," said one of the boatmen, in narrating the foregoing facts, "is that we are called volunteers!"

Another correspondent of the Herald writes from Havana under the same date as follows:

The palmiest days of inquisitorial cruelty are being surpassed by the practice adopted with the prisoners which have been made by the government, under the pretence of plotting the assassination of General Concha, which I continue to believe an invention of malignity, for the most sinister and cruel purposes, but which has been demonstrated to the mind of tbe Captain General as a veritable matter, so perfect has been tbe deception and cunning of the counter miners.

Rnmon Pinto is confined in a dungeon of the Moro—a "casement" cell, near the entrance—under the constant surveillance of the guard. His loom is close, damp, and without light—one window closed with batons of wood, and the other with a blanket, over which is fastened a piece of old sail cloth, so that his only chance for a breath of putrid prison air is when the wicket is turned to place within his reach the scant fare and jug of water permitted him. Of course he is not permitted intercourse with his family or friends. I am also informed, from the most reliable sources, that iron and wooden cages are constructed and are in process of construction for the prisoners who have been ordered to the old British hulk Rodney, which has been devoted for several years to quarantine purposes as a hospital. The size of these moveable cells, which can be placed below or on deck, are about seven feet by three and a half or tour, Spanish measure, consisting in dimensions with Spanish mercy and humanity. Whether prisoners are to be exposed on the deckto noon-dav sun, and lowered below at night, I am not advised but report says that the object is torture of those against whom no evidence can be found to convict them of unfaithfulness or of the purposed assassination the various attorneys of the Queen having so far failed in eliciting any testimony that would justify the presentment of a bill for the. judgment of the honorable "military commission" with invitation of sentence for the garrofe.

CHICAGO ON THE SEABOARD. We have been accustomed to look on Chicago as an inland town, indeed quite away from the briny ocean. But this is likely to turn out a misapprehension, and Chicago is really cn the seaboard. Vessels are to commence their voyage across the Atlantic at Liverpool and terminate it at Chicago without breaking bulk. The subjoined extract shows that such an arrangement is about to be carried out, and that Chicago, in point of freighting expense, is to be nearer to Liverpool than New York. Of course a great drawback upon this seaward communication will be found in the fact that the St. Lawrence is frozen about seven months in the year, but even five months direct communication between Chicago and transatlantic ports, may work great revolutions in trade and in the course of transportation. What effect will a movement of this kind have upon our canals and railroads, is an interesting question suggested by such a movement. We will not enter the wild field for speculation and discussion which this subject opens. We will merely add that we do regard it as clear that, all things considered—the closing of the St. Lawrence by ice —the immense commercial marine plying between New Yerk and foreign ports—the tendency of commerce to pass through its great emporium on this continent, fcc., fcc.—transportation between Chicago and Europe, by way of the St. Lawrence, will be found in the long run more economical than by the way of New York.—Albany Argus.

A SAD MISTAKE ABOUT PRINTERS.—The public have a funny notion about printers. They think it costs nothing to puff, advertise, ifcc.—And thus one and another will sponge an extra paper, a puff, or some benevolent advertisement. They forget that a hitrh price is paid for every type set.— They forget that it is this business that makes their business known to the world. They forget that it is the printer's ink that makes nine-tenths of their immense fortunes. They forget that it takes money to pay compositors—to buy paper, ink, and type—and lastly, they forget to even thank you for working for nothing, by gratuitously puffing their business.

AID FROM THE SLAVES OF THE SOCTII.— The N. Y. Journal of Commerce announces the receipt of €20 00 contribution from the slaves of Columbus*, Miss., to relieve the distresses of the colored population in New York. Here is a nut for the Abolitionists to crack.

0^?~Butter and eggs are in great demand at present.

TOWNSHIP CONTENTION. Agreeable to previous notice the Democracy of Union township, met in convention, at the Court House, March 10th, 1855.

On motion, Stephen Fields was called to the Chair, and John Lee appointed Secretary.

Captain Manson being cailled upJn, stated tbe object of the meeting and the business that would naturally be before the convention, and continued in a scathing speech in opposition to Know-Nothingism and Fusionism in general.

The following persons were proposed to the convention and unanimously nominated as their candidates:

For Justice of the Peace for the town of Crawfordsville—JOHN* W. BURK. For Justices of Union township—DANIEL S. JOKES and GEORGE W. WILSON.

For Township Trustee—S. R. HUGHES. Clerk—JAS. LTXN. Treasurer—W. C. VANCE. For Constables—A. J. PORTER, DANIEL MCIXTIRE, DAVID THOMPSON and WILLIAM SIMPSON. ".

4

On motion, the following resolutions were unanimously adopted: Resolved, That we will unite as citizens and patriots in opposition to all secret political combinations, and use all honorable means to defeat every such organization.

Resolved, That we will use due diligence and every necessary exertion to secure the election of our ticket.

On motion, the convention adjourned to meet at the polls on the first Monday in April and requested that the proceedings of the convention be published in the Review. STEPHEN FIELDS, Pres't.

JOHN LEE, Secretary.

KNOW-NOTniN«S DEFEATED Democratic Anti-Know Nothing Victory in Jennings.

The first gun from old Jennings has been fired. The election in the town of Vernon, for corporate officers has resulted in the complete triumph of the Democrats.—Stcte Sentinel.

VIRGINIA ELECTION—THE PROSPECT.— An intelligent gentleman writes from Logan county, Va., under date of Feb. 25, as follows, in relation to the coming Gubernatorial contest. He says:

"You need not fear anything on account of our election in the spring. Wise is sure to be elected in spite of Know-Nothing roorbacks and mis-statements. If I am not mistaken, he will carry the State by a larger! majority than-Johnson did in 1851, though the Know-Nothings are trying to create the impression abroad that they will defeat him. They boast of their numbers in the State, but they are, like Falstaff's men, in "buckram," and are not to be found in Virginia."

S30T Mayor WOOD, of New York, seems determined to right matters in that city, if possible. On Saturday last a clothing firm was arrested and brought before him on the charge of swindling a poor seamstress girl out of $2, which she had deposited as security with the firm that she would return three shirts, which they had given her, when made. The poor girl had made the shirts, and, on taking them to the 6tore of the firm, they took two of them, for which they refused to pay her, and left one on her hands, taking the 52 she had deposited to pay for the material. The price given for making the shirts was one shilling each. After hearing the case the Mayor said "I will tell you your remedy, sir: give these girls a decent price for making a snirt, pay them a living salary, and you will have your work made in a decent manner. The shirts here are as well made as any one could wish, and have been so pronounced by many competent judges. I should think you would be ashamed to have a poor girl work for you three days and nights at making three shirts for one shilling each, and then, not being content with that, to put down in her pass-book, 'for making three shirts, At 12 cents each, 3G cents. My decision is this, that you pay back the girl her §2, and the shilling each for making the shirts, 36 cents,"

EST The destruction of property by fires in January, in the United States, amounted to Si,325,000, and in February to £934,000. Total for two months, §2,259,000.--Two Southern towns, Granada, in Mississippi, and Gainesville, in Alabama, were almost entirely burned.

Q^rThe total number of bogs slaughtered in Indiana during the season of lo51-55, was 164, MG, against 567,087 for the season of 1853-54.

A young married lady in Cincinnati, who has a brother in California, dreamed she saw him, in his miner's hut, rise from his bed and seize a pistol and bowie-knife, and immediately afterwards saw a human hand with a dagger, in it thrust through an aperture at the head of the bed and strike upon the pillow, when the brother with his knife severed the hand from the arm. A yell followed, and the brother looked thro' the aperture, saw there was but one, and rushed out and found him dying, having ing thrust another knife inio his body, and dragging him to the light found him to be a Mexican. The lady told her dream, and by the late mail from California all the circumstances of it were verified by letter as having occurred on the night of Dec. 6.

In Salem, Joseph Andress K. N., was chosen mayor by 1049 votes, to 813 for Nathaniel Silsbee, citizens' candidate. The citizens made a pretty good fight. Iv. N. Atdeimen were also elected.

NEW POSTAGE BILL.

The new postage bill which was passed by the late Congress, will produce many radical changes in the administration of the details of our postal system. But it will be left to experience to demonstrate whether these changes are improvements or not.— The bill provides that, in lieu of the rates now established by law, there shall, after theommencement of the next fiscal quar" ter, be charged for every single letter in manuscript, or paper of any kind in which information shall be asked for or communicated in writing, or by marks or signs, conveyed in the mail for any distance between places in tbe United States not exceeding three thousand miles, ten cents. For a double letter the charge is to be double, for a treble letter, treble, and for a quadruple letter, quadruple these rates.

Every letter, or parcel not exceeding half an ounce in weight is to be deemed a single letter and every additional weight of half an ounce, or less than half an ounce, is to be charged with an additional single postage. Upon all letters passing through or in the mail of the United State3, excepting such as are to or from a foreign country, the postage is to be prepaid, except upon letters and packages addressed to officers of the government on official business, which shall be so marked on the envelope. And from and after January 1, 1856, .the Postmaster General may require postmasters to place postage stamps upon all prepaid letters upon which such stamps may not have been placed by the writers. All drop-letters, or letters placed in any post office not for transmission through the mail, but for delivery only, are to be charged with postage at the rate of one cent each, in addition to the regular postage, both to be accounted for as other postages now are.— No postmaster or other person is to be allowed to sell any postage stamps or stamp envelopes for any larger sum than that indicated upon their face, or for a larger sum than that charged therefor by the post-of-fice department and any person who violates this provision is to be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and, on conviction, is to be fined in any sum not less than ten nor more than five hundred dollars.

An amendment was afterwards adopted, providing for an uniform plan for tho registration of all valuable letters on application of the party posting the same.

The provision requiring prepayment on all mail matter, which goes into operation on the first of July is a good one, and will save a large sum to the Department for services actually performed. The dead letters annually returned to the General office at Washington now amount to an immense number, a large portion of which are unpaid.

And now, if the Department will inluse more regularity and officering in the mail service in the west, and almost entirely remodel the system of doing business, the people will be much obliged.

ANTI-KNOW NOTHING VICTORIES. From the New York Tribune, we extract some items. The sum-total is that the Know Nothings are well whipped.

CATTARAUGUS, Co.—In this County, which went strongly Hindoo at the last election, 13 out of 31 Supervisors are An-ti-Know Nothing. It is a noticeable fact that all the Hindoos are elected by the skin of their teeth while Antis are all chosen by large and respectable majorities. Light is breaking in old Cattaraugus.

ONEIDA, Co. Returns from all the Towns show the Board of Supervisors to stand Whige 16 Democrats 16.

ALBANT, CO.—The Hindoos were routed in the West Troy Village election. The issue was made distinct. Martin Witbeck, Anti-Ilindoo, was elected by 150 majority. The Trustees are of the same stripe. A jubilee followed in the evening.

ERIE, CO.—The "chawing up" of .the Hindoos was more effectual than at first announced. So far as heard from 19 AntiKnow Nothing Supervisors to three Hindoos. The towns carried by the latter are Collins, Cheektowaga and Hamburg—lone monuments of Bakerism in a county whose entire delegation cast their votes against Gov. Seward's re-election the United States Senate.

TROY, N. Y.—Besides Mayor, an AntiKnow Nothing Justice, and two Assessors were chosen. Aldermen, 14 Anti-Know Kothings.

MADISON, CO.—Anti-Know Nothing Supervisors chosen in Cazenovia, Fenner and Nelson. Anti-Hindoos as far as heard from.

WTOMING, Co.— According to the old party divisions the Board of Supervisors consists of eic/ht Whijjs and ei^ht Democrats, or ten daylight Americans and six midnight Hindoos.

MONROE, CO.—The Rochester Democrat of the 6th, says, of the result on Supervisors: Whigs 15, Locos 14, Anti-Know Nothings 20. Elected on Know Nothing ticket 9. This result sadly disappointed Hindoos of this city, who boasted that they would sweep the county.

ST. LAWRENCE, CO.—The Republican gives a list of the Supervisors elected at the late town-meeting3 in that county. It foots up precisely as it did last year—15 Democrats and 13 Whigs—all Anti-Know Nothings.

LYONS, N. Y.—Anti-Know Nothing ticket elected. ADANS, N. Y.—Anti-Know Nothing majority, 30.

WESTFFRD, Mass.—Anti-K. N. ticket elected.

ANTI-KNOW NOTHING VICTORY IN MASSACHUSETTS. We gire the details of these interesting elections from the Boston Post:

Know Nothingism has about taken its flight from Action, the last that was seen of it, Che president of the lodge waa going west, the secretary south, and the remainder of tbe lodge are about changing their name to Hindoos only sixty-nine cents worth left. The election resulted in the choice of William D. Tuttle, town clerk James E. Billings, En bridge G. Parker and Samuel Jones, selectmen, Samuel Hosmer, Francis C. Dwight and Daniel Tuttle, and Luther Conant, Jr., school eommitte Luther B. Forbush, constabie—citizens' ticket and opposed to secret political societies.— For county treasurer, Stedman But trick had 145 votes Amos Stone, K. N., had 69.— The town is redeemed from the scourges, and if they were to have a few more speeches from Slack, Bowers and Woodbury, there would not be a solitary Know Nothing left in town. So says our correspondent, "A friend of equal lights."

In Westford the know nothings made a desperate rally but were defeated at every point, and, what is rather surprising, there are three clergymen in town, neither of whom belong to the secret order, and they were all placed upon the school committee.

In Walpole, the K. N.'s were beaten. In Seekonk, Oliver Chaffe, democrat, was chosen town clerk, over II. Stewart, present know nothing member of tbe House of Representatives. The democratic ticket was chosen throughout by a considerable majority, and with the exception of School eommitte. "Sam" is repudiated in old Seekonk, and good old fashioned democracy takes his place.

LEXINGTON.—The old battle ground is true to the cause of liberty. Col. Isaac II. Wright was chosen moderator, and the old board of selectmen, supported on a citizens' ticket, was elected over the know nothing ticket. All the other town offices were also elected against the know nothings.

In Foxboro', anti K. N.'s were chosen.— In Marblehead a union ticket prevailed over the K. N.'s. In Action, Citizens' and an-ti-Maine law ticket chosen. In Stow ditto. In Marshfield Citizens' ticket succeeded, also in Plymouth.

In Amesbury a union ticket was elccted, over the Know Nothings, by from 75 to 200 majority. J. Nayson, Democrat, was elected moderator Joseph Merrill. Democrat, town clerk and Wm. D. Bartletl, Democrat, Josiah Challis, Freesoil, and Alfred Goodwin, Whig selectmen.

ELECTION RETURNS—GLAD TIDINGS* Through some inadvertence in our office, which we hope may never occur again, our notice of the democratic victories in various parts of the country, was omitted in the paper of yesterday. But it is not too late to congratulate our friends on the significant changes which are taking place in publio opinion, in towns and cities, places which, as every one knows, are the strong-holds of the Know Nothings.

Detroit, Michigan, is Democratic by 800 majority over the Know Nothings for Mayor, and a Democratic majority in the Con»mon Council.

Troy, N. Y., h.is elected a Dcmocratio anti-Know Nothing Mayor, by 200 majority.

Syracuse, N. Y. has chosen a Democratic Mayor and Common Council by 400 majority. The telegraph reports great rejocings over the result.

In Lockport, N. Y. the anti-Know-Noth-ing ticket has also succeeded by a small majority and in Oswego, Speaker Littlejohn, seceder from the order, who has exposed its secrets, has been chosen Mayor by 500 majority.

In Newport, Ky.t the Know Nothings were signally worsted and beaten all round by the Democratic organization.

Last of all comes glorious Milwaukee, in Wisconsin, which has rolled up tbe splendid majoritv of 1,400 for the Democratic anti-Know Nothing ticket.

So, the pitiful Know Nothing majorities in Chicago and Rochester N. Y., are equivlent to Democratic victories—so great is tho falling off.

The new organization consists of four classes. 1. The professional politicians, seeking place, power and plunder. This class i9 small in number, compared with the whole population, but strong in zeal and activity. The beast of prey is at no other time so vigorous and daring as whenhe is hungry. No hope in this class. 2. Religious enthusiasts. Some of these are excellent men, but others are the stuff* that inquisitors are made of. No hope in this class. 3. A certain set of narrow-minded conservatives who would, if thej' could, restrict the elective franchise to men of property. 4. Sincere but temporarily misguided young men, who have, indeed, the innocence of the dove, but not, alas! the wisdom of the serpent. This class have been entrapped into the organization without due deliberation and in them, we look with cheerful confidence, for a return of reason.

Thousands have been approached, by the agents of this foul enchantment, under fair pretence of friendly ends they have been addressed in well-placed words of glozing courtesy persuasions, have been used and thus honest hearted men have been hugged into snares. But, by the power of sober second thought, and free discussion, they will ere long be disenthralled from the delulusion.

We have abiding hope in this class. Tka recent return show that our faith will not bo misplaced/

When the glorious news arrives that Henry A. Wise has been chosen Governor of Virginia, let the Democracy be ready to make the welkin ring with shouts of triumph. This election will signalize the utter rout of our opponents, and the sun of Austerlitz will again shine on the Victories of Democracy.—Slalt Spinel.
