TilE INAUfUJRAL.

On the first page of this weeks paper our readers will find this important document. In tone and spirit it is an admirable paper—and foreshadows a splendid policy of the new administration—a policy that will not only give peace and quiet to the country, but pave the way for a sue ccssion of Democratic administrations.

DEATH OF ANDREW P. LYNN. It becomes our painful duty to announce the demise of ANDREW P. LYNN, one of our oldest and most worthy citizens. For a number of years the deceased held the office of County Clerk, which trust lie filled with faithfulness and ability, and with his gentlemanly demeanor endeared himself to his fellow citizens. For the last two years his health has been rapidly failing under that disease known as Consumption. Yes tcrday at 12 o'clock it was announced that he was dying, and at two his gentle spirit winged its way to the shadowy land. To his bereaved widow and sorrowing relatives we offer our tendercst sympathies.

The funeral services will take place this morning at 10 o'clock at the 0. S. Presbyterian church.

IfiyOur able and energetic Senator, LEW WALLACE, arrived home on last Tuesday. Mr. W4has made his mark in that bod}', and will not soon be forgotten by his Black Republican colleagues. Lew has a splendid future before him, and he may rest assured that the great party with whom he has united his destinies, will not be unmindful or slow to reward her gallant champions.

OUR ORGANIZATION.

We arc glad to see the thorough system of organization that is being kept up by the Democracy in this county. In view of the April elections that arc close at hand, we nee that the Old Liners are bringing out their best men. We think Black Republicanism will find after a few more brushes with the Democracy, that "Jordan is a hard road to travel." Next summer, after harvest, it is proposed to have a grand re-union of the Old Liners of the several townships, the object of which will be to render more perfect our organization for the State election iu 1858.

NEW ALBANY SALEM RAILROBD.—The trains on this road arc now running up to time. The track is in excellent condition, and under the supcrintendcncy of Mr. An dcrson things are beginning to work with clock-likc regularity. A number of new locomotives will soon be placed on the road

MT For tho last two weeks we have enjoyed a degree of Arctic cold that would astonish a polar bear. Tho delightful ehirping of the birds that greeted our ears in February have entirely ceased, the feathery songsters having winged their way back to more genial climes.

-f.t&F' Some eight weeks igo a fellow by the name Robt. C. Coons alias Greenwood, eloped with a Mrs. Mary Hudson, tlie wife of one of ottr most respectable and worthy citizens. Coons left a wife and children, who were dependent upon him for support. We understand that they have located in the town of Ann Arbor, Michigan, where they were seen by one of onr citizens.— Mr. Baker, the father of the guilty woman, left for the above place on last Wednesday, with the riew of inducing her to return home. As for Coons, he has forfeited not only his honor and reputation as a man, but his life, which the injured husband would be perfectly justifiable in taking should he ever set foot in Crawfordsville.

P. 8. Since writing the above thotrai&ft jarammr has returned.

We are informed that another one of those disgraceful scenes, characteristic of the negro party, of this county, came off at the Court House on last Sunday evening. It appears that a strolling woman, by the name ot Filkins, whom many of our citizens will recollect of having seen in different parts of the county during the political campaign of last aummcr, was taken into the Court-House on the Sabbath day by Fisher Dougherty, and others, and induced by promises of money to harrangue a crowd of our citizens, whose curiosity to witness the degradation of the female sex outweighed their discretion in thus countenancing a palpable violation and desecration of the Lord's Day! It i's with feelings of pain that we notice this abandoned disregard of Christianity, by those whose connection with our Churches should set better examples for the rising generation tiian spending the Sabbath day in listening to its profanation by a poor deluded waif of feminine mortality. It only needs the advent of that somewhat notorious character,

Josh Hopkins, for the Republican party of Crawfordsville to cap the climax of their recklessness of all that pertains to decency and order. We are told that this poor creature indulged in the usual slang epi thets and billigsgate, so musical to Black Republican cars. To the man of refined taste, it was a spectacle that brought vividly to mind the Roman holidays, with their gladatorial shows of human butchery! The one sacrificcd to a brutal and vitiated taste human life—the other, female modesty, the brightest jewel of the sex. Among the most prominent actors in this revolting sccne, was that arch infidel and scoffef of religion, Fisher Doherty, seconded by the Rev. Mr. Eaton, a Universalis clergyman and we will here remark, that wc arc surprised and astonished that this latter gentlemen should so allow his political feelings to obtain mastery over his better judgment, in thus countenancing a plain and palpable violation of the Sabbath day. Wc know that the old sterrcotypc excuse will be immediately given, that it was nothing but a temperance meeting. That dodge will not auswer or palliate in the slightest degree the enormity of last Sunday's proceedings. To show our readers that we arc sustained in our position, we will state that every christian church in town refused their houses of worship to the base and sacriligious purpose which tho Court House alone afforded. For the wretched woman who is thus making of herself a spectacle for the gratification of public curiosity, we have nothing but pity. She is a woman— "one of Eve's family." Her sex, while they sorrow for her sin, should remember the beautiful apostrophe of Ilood— "Touch her not scornfully,

Think of her mournfully."

I®* Dispatches from Washington state that the Cabinet is discussing the policj- of making an entire change in the office holders throughout the countr}', and that it is probable that such will be the course of the Administration.

SPLENDID FURNITURE.—Win. Robertson has now on hand a splendid assortment of Furniture, which he will sell cheap for cash. It is the very place to get good bargains. Call and examine his stock.

19* During our absence at Lafayette on Tuesday evening, Fisher Doherty brought to our officc the woman Filkins. What could induce the wretch to thus jeopardize the young men employed in our office, we are unable to say. Boys—"beware of strange women—their feet lead down to the pit their Bteps take hold on hell."

TIIE NEW ALBANY LEDGER.—Among all of our exchanges there is none that is more welcome and presents a finer typographical appearance than the Ledger. Its leading articles evince refined scholarship and versatility of talent, and is without question the ablest organ of the Democratic party in the State. Its selections are choice, and as a family newspaper is unsurpassed by any journal in the west. Wc recommend it to our democratic friends throughout the county.

TOWN HALL.—Dr. McClclland has commenced the crcction of a town hall, on Washington street, a few doors north of Ott's drug store. It will be sixty feet in width by 100 in depth.

PERSONAL.—Orrin S. McNeil, the great daddy and king of the Crawfordsville Know Nothing Lodge, now defunct, is at present stopping ini our town. Mac with all his political faults is a clcver fellow. Had he stuck to the Alamo platform he might have received a complimentary vote in convention.

10* Now that our Legislature has adjourned without passing any law upon the subjcct of tcmperancc, the responsibility of which rests solely upon, the Republican Senate of that body, we may reasonably expcct that we shall hear no more prating about whisky democrats.

John Rhea, about whose disappear­

ance some anxiety has been manifested, and who was supposed to have been murdered, has turned up in Austin, Texas.— In a letter to his wife he asked forgiveness for his running away and requests her to join him.' "*K

KENT'S PATENT BEE HIVE.—We received a call yesterday from Mr. J. KENT, the patentee of a celebrated bee hive, which from a model exhibited, takes all the bee hives we have ever seen. Mr. K. can be found at the Holton House, and will be happy to show tho Patent Hive to all who call upon him. C- R. Faulkner, of Moore's Hill, Indiana, is associated with Mr. Kent, aid will sell State and County rights.'

I^A meeting of the Democracy of Ripley township will take place at Alamo on next Saturday. Our talented senator Lew Wallace will be present and address his fellow citizens. In no township in the county are the Democracy more energetic ha in 7

THE BLACK REPUBLICAN SENATE.—The Democratic press throughout the State speaks in just and indignant condemnation of the course of the perjured and traitorous Black Republican Senate. The Fort Wayne Sentinel expresses the universal sentiment of the people everywhere.. It says: "Their course deserves the severest rebuke of an insulted and outraged community, and is another evidence of the truth of what we have before asserted—that the fusionists are not competent to transact public business, and ought never to be intrusted with power. "Wc fervently hope this is the last time they will ever have the power to do mischief in this State."

A lady promenaded Washington

street yesterday, with her hair cut in the new style—short like a man's.

CHICAGO AND LIVERPOOL.—The barque Malta is advertised in the Chicago Times, to clear for Liverpool direct, on the opening of navigation.

I®" The New Orleans people are just now enjoying the luxury known as green peas.

INAUGURATION FESTIVITIES.—To provide for the vast crowd who took part in the terpsicliorean finale of the Inauguration ceremonies, a goodly bill of provisions was needed. Among the items of the bill of fare were S3,000 worth of wine, 400 gallons of oysters, 500 quarts of chicken salad, 1,200 quarts of ice cream, 500 quarts of jellies, 60 saddles of mutton, 4 of venison, 8 rounds of beef, 75 hams, 125 tongues, besides pates of various kinds. At the head of the table was a pyramid of cakes 4 feet high, with a flag of each State and Territory, with the coat of arms of each printed on it.

SPREAD OF FASHION.—A recent letter from Paris furnishes the following item respecting the example of the Empress Eu genie in the matter of dress. Husbands and fathers will doubtless shudder to learn of increased "cast atul circumference The writer says:

The last fete of the Tuileries was marked by (if possible) a greater extravagance than ever iu the cost and circumference of the dresses. The Empress' costume, no crinoline could possibly have supported, so enormous was the extent and so solid the superstructure. The dress was a petticoat of white tulle, with three skirts bouilone a tunic of sky blue velvet, trimmed with tulle puffings and large gold beads, and a head dress of blue foliage, surmounted by a diamond tiara—all of which, of course, bccame Her Majesty.

PLAGIARISM EXTRAORDINARY. Some one—a woman, shame on her— sends the Wabash Express, Sax's admired lines to a batchelor friend, beginning "Dear Charles be persuaded to wed," &c.," —substituting "Bob" for "Charles"—as original. They are entitled "A Hint to Bob." The only changc from the original, with the obove exception, is contained in the final stanza, which is made to read thus:

Then Kob, be persuaded to wed, For a sensible fellow like you, It is high time to think of bed,

And board and -'fixenV' for TWO: Don't tliiuk about "something else" first, A fellow almost is THE SERE! An Editor!—and not married yet!

You should do NOTHING EL6E for a year! To this the editor replies that "the advice is superb, and if the fair authoress will run the risk of Wabash chills and fevers" he "will immediately prepare the board and fixings for two.' If her heart, is false as her poetical pretentions, wc advise our cotemporary to have as little to do with her as possible.—Lafayette Jouonal.

TIIE CABINET.

The Senate confirmed, on the 6th inst., the following nominations made by President Buchanan for Cabinet officers

LEWIS CASS, of Michigan, Secretary of State. HOWELL COBB, of Georgia, Secretary of the Treasury,

JOHN B. FLOYD, of Virginia, Secretary of War. ISAAC TOUCEY, of Connecticut, Secretary of the Navy.

JACOB THOMPSON, of Mississippi, Secretary of the Interior. AARON Y. BROWN, of Tennessee, Postmaster General.

JEREMIAH S. BLACK, of Pennsylvania, Attorney General. These appointments will meet with very general satisfaction. The Cabinet is composed of excellent timber—all men of high order of talents and decided Executive ability. The cast of the Cabinet is far better than any reports had made it. The Postmaster General is froin the Western States, and the Secretary of the Navy is from the seaboard, just as those two interests should be represented. Judge Black has the reputation of being an eminent jurist and peculiarly qualified for his position.

The Cabinet is eminently conservative in all its elements. It contains no extreme men from either section of the country.— Neither Abolitionists or Fire-eaters, or the sentiments of either, will find in it any sympathy. The substantial interests of the country can look to it for security, protection and support. No administration was ever inaugurated having more of the confidence of the nation than this. The Democracy of the country must sustain and strengthen it in their future political contests, and not by defeat deprive it not only of actual but moral support.

W8T George Sumner says in a recent lecture* "The excessive use of Saleratus is a cardinal cause of the American ill-health. It is a deadly poison, the use of which should shunned as the slaughterer of the infant and the destroyer of the strong man.

THE X1TTLE 'TRIJJfDLEBED.** We have a fond little treasure, Joyotuand brigbtma thamorn, Loved withrat stint or meunro, v„

Era since it w*« bom Tin a dear little girl, and her golden lair, Falls in ringlets bright, o'«r her forehead fair."

And every night she coraes,'5-^*4-Weary of frolic and play, Then softly her vespefr ham*,

And kneels by her bed to pray— And then, as soon as her prayers are said. She nasties right down inner trundle-bad.

The clothes are all faided neat, In winter, all snugly tuck.d in, The "coverlet," blanket and sheet,

Drawn under the darling's chin Then all you can see is her baby-head, .• As she sleeps for the night in her trundle-bed. •,

And often we come to kneel, Where our little treasure lies,. And prayers sneh as parents feel,

And a tear-dro moisten the eye Fond hearts are now bleeding, as others have bled, While they gaze on a vacant, but dear little bed.

Affection hath roared her shrine, By the lowliest thing* of earth, And tho holiest feelings entwino 'Round the spot that gave us birth Thus we love tho place where cur baby sleeps,' And affection her nightly vigil keeps.

'Tis a plain old fashioned thing, That little baby bod, Where love her offerings bring,

And angels lightly tread Yet a cord may be touched by the merest toy, That shall deluge tho heart with a tide of joy.

We love it, and who shall dare, These holy feelings deride, Like that precious "Old Arm Chair,"

And a thousand tliinjrs beside So. whether our child be living or dead, A dear little thine is that trundle bed.

WINTERS IN OLDEN TIMES. Those of our readers who imagine the severe winter through which we have just past, has been one of extreme cold and suffering, may find some consolation in perusing the following taken from an English paper. Only think of the earth freezing nine feet from the surface, as in 1709, or of snow falling twenty three feet deep on a level, as in Portugal, in 174-1. Let us be thankful for the mildness of the winter just departed, and when any one complains because of the cold, just point him to the following as indicative of "what might have been:"

In 1664 the cold was so intense that the Thames was covered with ice 61 inches thick. Almost all the birds perished. In 1693 the cold was so excessive that the famished wolves entered Vienna and attacked beasts and even men. Many people in Germany were frozen to death in 1705, and 1699 was nearly as bad. In 1709 occurred that famous winter called by distinction, the "Cold Winter." All the rivers atid lakes were frozen, and even the sea for several miles from the shores. The ground was frozen nine feet deep.— Birds and beasts were struck dead in the fields, and men perished by thousands in their houses. In the south of Frauco the wine plantations were almost destroyed nor have they yet recovered the fatal disaster. The Adriatic Sea was frozen and even the Mediterranean about Genoa: and the citron aud orange groves suffered extremely in the finest parts of Italy. In 17T5 the winter was so intense that people travelled across the Straits from Copenhagen to the Province of Senia, in Sweden. In 1729, in Scotland multitudes of cattle and sheep were buried in the snow. In 1740 the winter was scarcely inferior to that of 1729. The snow lay ten feet deep in Spain and Portugal. The Zuyder Zee was frozen over, and thousands of people went across it. And the lakes in England froze. In 1744 the winter was very cold. Snow fell in Portugal to the depth of twenty-three feet on a level. In 1754 and 1755 the winters were very severe and cold. In England, the strongest ale, exposed to the air in a glass, was covered with ice one-eight of an inch thick. In 1771 the Elbe was frozen to the bottom. In 1776 the Danube bore ice five feet thick below Vienna. Vast numbers of the feathered and finny tribes perished. The winters of 1774 and 1775 were uncommonly severe. The Little Belt wasfrozen over. From 1800 to 1812 also the winters were remarkably cold, particularly the latter, in Russia,. which proved so disastrous to the French army.—English ])aper.

TIIE BLIND, THE INSANE,TIIE MUTE. It was rumored at Indianapolis yesterday, that the Superintendents of the several benevolent institutions of the State would immediately give notice to the proper officers of the several counties to take care of their own blind, insane, and deaf and dumb, no provisions having been made by the General Assembly longer to defray the"expenses of these institutions. The Republican Senators who deliberately and intentionally prevented the passage of the requsite bills for the support $f these institutions, may yet see their political error not only, but mourn their inhumanity towards those who are deprived of sight, or of reason, or of hearing and speech. The responsibilities thev have voluntarily assumed will be more fully appreciated by them, as the consequences of their mad partizanship shall be more fully developed. A number of the pupils from the BlinQ Asylum were in the Senate chamber till past midnight on Saturday night pleading with their sightless eyes for themselves, and with their voices for the insane. It was enough to melt the heart of anybody but a Republican State Senator.—Laf American.

BURNING THE DEAD.—The Paris Academy of Medicine has set the papers to writing, and the people to thinking earnestly of a return to the practice of burning the dead. They say that in the summer time the Parisian hospitals are crowded with the victims of pestilence engendered by the foul air of the grave-yards in the neighborhood. The vicinity of the cemeteries is a eonstant source of mortality. Their putrid emanations filling the air, and the poison they emit impregnating the water, are held chargeable for the many new and frightful diseases of the throat and lungs which baffle the skill of the most experienced physicians.

DESPERATE COICFXICT BETWBEH A IilOlfAKD AW ANTELOPE. Dr. Livingstone raves a very interesting description fight he witnessed in Africa ^between a lion and ah antelop#. The Dr. and his guides had just emerged from a narrow defile between two rocky hills, when-they heard an angry growl, which they knew to be that of the "monarch of the forest." At the distance of not more than forty yards in advance of them, a gemsbok stood at bay, while a huge, tawny lion was crouched on a rocky platform, above the level of the plain, evidently meditating an attack on the antelope only a space of about twenty" feet separating the two animals. The lion appeared to be animated with the greatest fury—the gemsbok was apparently calm and resolute—presenting his well fortified head to the enemy.— The lion cautiously changed his position, descended to the plain and made a circuit, obviously for the purpose of attacking the gemsbok in the rear, but the latter was on the alert and still turned his head towards his antagonist. This manoeuvering lasted for an hour, when it appeared to the observers that the gemsbok used a stratagem to induce the lion to make his assault. The flank of the antelope was for a moment presented to his fierce assailant. As quick as lightning, the lion made. a spring, but while he was yet in the air, the gemsbok turned his head, bending his neck so as to present one of his ?pear-like horns at the lion's breast. A terrible laceration was the consequence the lion fell back on his haunches, and showed a ghastly wound in the lower part of his neck. He uttered a howl of rage and anguish, and backed off to the distance of fifty yards, seeming half disposed to give up the contest, but hunger, fury or revenge once more impelled him forward. His second assault was more furious and headlong he rushed at the gemsbok, and attempted to leap over the formidable horns and alight on his back. The gemsbok still standing on the defensive, elevated his head, speared th° lion in the side, and inflicting what the spectators believed to be a mortal wound, as the horns penetrated to the depth of six or eight inches Again the lion retreated, groaning and limping in a manner which showed that he had been severely hurt, but he soon collected all his energies for another attack. At the instant of collision, the gemsbok presented a horn so as to strike the lion immediately between his forelegs, and so forceful was the stroke that the whole length of the horn was buried in the lion's body. For nearly a minute, the two beasts stood motionless then the gemsbok slowly backing, withdrew his horn, and the lion tottered and fell on his side, his limbs quivering in the agonies of death. The victor made a triumphant flourish of his heels, and trotted off apparently without having received the least in jury in the conflict.

TIIE DItKD SCOTT CASE. WASHINGTON, March 6. The decision of the Supreme Court in the Dred Scott case was declared to-day by Chief Justice Taney. It was a full and elaborate statement of the views of the Court. They have decided .ill the impor tant points First, that negroes whether slaves or free, that is, men of the African race, are not citizens of the United States by the constitution. Second, that the ordi nance of 1787 had no independent consti tutional force or legal effect, subsequent to the adoption of the constitution and could not operate of itself to confcr freedom or citizenship within the Northwest Territory, on negroes, not citizens by the Constitution. Third, that the provision of the act of 1S20, commonly called the Missouri Compromise, is so far as it undertook to seclude negro slavei^y from, and communi cate freedom and citizenship to negroes in the northwestern part of the Louisiana cession was a legislative act exceeding the powers of Congress and void of no legal effect to that and in deciding those main points the Supreme Court determined the following incidental points First the cx prcssion the Territory and other property. Union in the Constitution applies in terms only to such territory as the Union possess ed at the time of the adoption of the constitution. Second the rights of the citizens of the United States emigrating to any Federal territory and the power of Federal Government there depend on the general provisions of the constitution which define in this as in all other respects the powers of Congress. Third, as Congress does not possess power in itself to niake enactments relative to persons or property of citizens of the United States in the Fed oral Territory, other than such as the constitution confers, so it cannot constitutionally delegate any such powers to the Territorial government organized by it under the Constitution. Fourth, the legal condition of a slave in the State of Missouri is not effected by temporary sojourn of such slave in any other State, but on his return his condition still depends on the laws of the State of Missouri aud as the plaintiff was nut a citizen of the State of Missouri and therefore could not sue in the Courts of the United States. The suit must be dismissed for want of jurisdiction. The delivery of this opinion occupied about three hours. It was listened to with profound attention by a crowded court room. Among the auditors were many gentlemen of eminent legal ability, and a due proportion of ladies.

Justice stated, as the merits of the case, the question being whether or not the removal of Scott from Missouri, with his master to Illinois, with a view of temporary residence worked his emancipation, he maintained that the question depended solely on the law of Missouri, and for that reason the judgment of the court below should be affirmed. Justice Cairon believed the Supreme Court has jurisdiction to decree on the merits of the case. Congress could not do directly what it could not do indirectly. If it could exclude one species of property, it could another. With regard to the territories ceded, Congress could govern them only with the restrictions of the States which ceded them, and the Missouri act of 1S26 violated the leading feaiures of the Constitution. It was therefore void. He concurred with his brother Judges that Scott is a slave, and was so when the suit.was brought.— Several other Judges are to deliver their views to-morrow.

CORNS.—The best cure for these troublesome things that we have ever tried, says the Scientific American, is to soak the feet in hot water for a quarter of an hour, so that the corn becomes soft, and then trim it off as close as possible, and not cause pain. Then take the tincture of the Arbor Vitas, placed upon a little cotton, and apply to the corn, and after a few applications will not only disappear entirely, but will not he likely to return again.

THE iraiILD OWff» IE A UTUfG." That's false sir! It dosen't owe yoo *rfarthing. Yon owe the-world for the light of its days, the warmth of its Sunshine, the beauty of its earthahdsky.andfot iUrloves, affections, and friendships, which have from your childhood young man, clustered around and clung to your worthless trunk. For all these, and other blessings of countless numbers, you are a debtor. You have never even thanked God for health and life. You never have made the world the better for your living. You owe for the breath you breathe, and for the strength you enjoy. You haven't anything.to your credit on the day-book or ledger of life—not a cent—You never have taken a dollar's stock in Heaven. You area miserable, aimless, indolent bankrupt. You float down the stream of your lazy existence like flood-wood on the water. Were you to sink to-day to oblivion, you wouldn't leave a bubble.

The world "owes you a living! Where is there a manly thought uttered, or a noble deed performed Where is there evidence of your labor? Nowhere. You are lounging through life with your hands in your pockets, an indolent loafer, swearing and slavering nonsense. You drink, gamble, and chew tobacco, but you never earned your board. A pile of lumber would be of more account, for that could be worked into forms of usefulness and beauty but you will not make anything of yourself, or allow society to do it. A world of such as you would be the place to live in, indeed! You have degraded our common manhood instead of cnobling and elevating it, and in nothing but the form and vulgar speech, are you above the brutes that perish. And because you are too lazy to work, you claim that the world owes you a living.

Don't tell that lie again, you sluggard! The world or society would not suffer loss were lightning to strike you or the cholera to take you off. There arc too many of such. Were you treated as drones arc treated in the hives you would have been kicked out of creation, years ago. You are a sponge, swollen with what you have absorbed from society. You dwarfed the in tellect given you, and neglcctcd the endow ments it would have brought you. So effectually have you wasted the boon of life, that unless your bones shall go to the dis-secting-room, and your pickled carcass as a fertilizer upon some God forsaken spot, you will have passed through life to no purpose. The tobacco you have chewed, has only defiled everything around you, and the liquor you have drinked, has only been adulterated by your miserable nature, and been turned into rowdyism and profanity. You contaminate everything you touch, and even those like you, will keep their children •from the leprosy of your teaching and example.

No, sir, you owe the world a better life. You never can pay all the debt, but you can do better, and commute for twenty-five cents on the dollar. Do and say something noble, manly labor for some honorable purpose, and not inhale God's pure air for nothing, and grunt through existence like a hog, having only two aims iu life—to reach the bar and the dinner table and only two attributes, to cat to gluttony, and drink to drunkenness.

TIIE AGONY OVEK.

The Legislature adjourned yesterday at three o'clock, by constitutional limitation. Though we have kept our readers advised of the more important features which its history discloses, there is much yet to be written. The neglect to provide the necessary means to carry on the government, is an act too flagrant in its character, and too serious in its consequences to be passed over light!}7. All that has been done is as nothing, so far as the vital interests of the State are concerned, compared with what has been left undone. There is a responsibility in all this that can neither be shirked nor avoided. The consequences come directly home to the people, and they will demand that the guilty authors, be they who they may, answer, to the full, for the wrong which they have inflicted. Every act in connection with the administration of the Government for the next two years, will remind these official delinquents of the duty which they owed to the people, and which they so culpably neglected.

The only inquiry will be, where rests the responsibility? To this, there can be but one answer, and that answer is, WITH THE SENATE. If we arc without an appraisement law, a temperance law, a revenue law, :iud appropriation laws, and people ask why it is so—wc point them to THE SENATE.—

Yt the door of that body lies the sin of defeating all these measures, and leaving the government without the necessary means of sustaining itself. And who arc the Senate? Who have held sway in that body, and made everything bend to their domineering arrogance and unscrupulous exactions To this inquiry the answer is always ready. Black Republicanism has left its traces too deep in all that has there transpired, to allotvof any possible mistake in solving the question.

Black Republicanism, whose constitutional proclivity to anarchy and revolution has become proverbial, has there stripped off the mask which disguises its real features, and stands self-pilloried for public scorn. BLACK REPUBLICANISM!!! As honest men hereafter think of that name, and then reflect upon the damning infamy and disgrace which it has fastened upon the noble "old Iloosier State," how heartily will they despise and execrate it! BLACK REPUBLICANISM!!! Is there not music in that name—music as sweet and enchanting as the cry of the jackal or the hissing of serpents

The comparison may not be a poetical one, but is o:er true notwithstanding, as we are determined that our good friend, The Public, shall acknowledge, in good time.

As we have before said, the history of that most notable and note-worthy party, in Indiaua, is not half-written. We have nibbed our pen for the work, and if full justice is not done in their behalf, it shall not be for the want of a scribe.—Indianapolis Sentinel, 10 th.

GLORIOUS DEMOCRATIC TRIUMPH.—The charter election at Rochester, New lork, on the 3d inst., resulted in an overwhelming Democratic triumph. Black Republicanism, previously rampant, at night fall was no where, having been sent howling to its hole. The glorious Democratic majorities of the redeemed city range from 1,300 to 1,400.*

19* One hundred thousand persons, it is estimated, were at Washington City on the day of the Inauguration.

This river reaches the Mississippi a short distance below the town of,Wabasha. Rising in the extreme west of Dodge county, its coursc is east north-eaaterlv, sweeping through Olmsted and Wabasha counties, and draining a country of KMne 1800 square miles area.

Its junction with the Mississippi is characterized by the same peculiaritiea that are seen at the mouth of most Minnesota streams—coming in quietly, screened by heavily timbered islands, and overlooked by high bluffs. Fantasy itself would seemed to have presided at the formation and arrangement of these bluffs, but to the attentive eye, there is everywhere visible that order which nature adopts, even in her moments of caprice. Their rounded summits are clothed in verdure and the ravines that cut them transversely, at regular intervals, are filled with thrifty timber. Gushing out from many of these ravines are brooks, alive with trout and chrystaline in purity. Follow them to their sources and you ascend, by an easy grade, to the upland prairies.

Some thirty miles from its mouth, the Zumbro receives tho waters of its principal northern arm, stretched out through the western part of Goodhue county and touching with its digits the eastern townships of Rice.

Some seven miles farther up, an arm from the south pours in its waters, drained from the central and Southern townships cf Olmsted.

Four miles still further up the main river divides, its northern half coming in along the south' line of Goodhue, and its southern limb reaching through the ccnter of Dodge, and tapping with its index finger the waters of Rice Lake.

At the junction of these two branches, the formation of the ground is such that the whole amount of water is brought into a channel of some 120 feet breadth, either bank being built in the style of nature's best masonry. The bottom of the channel is solid rock. All in all, it is perhaps tho best watcrpowcr on the whole stream.— Above this point on both streams, arc several powers of considerable value, some of which are improved. Below, at intervals of only a few miles, are excellent ones, all yet unimproved, save one. In fact the very character which gave tho river its name, gives it a practical value whioh may be looked for and not found in streams of greater pretensions.

The tract of country sweeping, in a semicircle, around the head waters of the Zumbro, is mostly prairie yet, relieved by occasional groves, and, along the stream, by quite cxteusive bodies of timber.

The bluffs here dwindle down to mcro hillocks or uudulaticns, happily breaking the monotony of a level. Pass with tho river easterly, and wc find tho ravines making deeper indentations, while tho main land keeps nearly the same level, aud preserves all its qualities of excellence.

This splendid region is cut by tho four branches of its river, into as many distinct divisions three of which are triangular iu shape, with apexes centering at Oronoco. That between the south and south middlo branches embracing some 500 square miles, that between the two middle branches, the base of which may be said to be the western boundary of Dodge county, and that between this and tho north branch, containing, perhaps, 800 squaro miles of peerless prairie.

The fourth division is that which lies east of here, between this place and the range of Mississippi bluffs. It is known by the name of Greenwood, and contains probably more than six hundred sections of arable land.

No part, or at most, a very small part of the region we are attempting to describe, has yet been offered at public sale. It is subjcct to entry only by pre-emption, and a large share of it, perhaps four-fifths, has already been entered in the manner prescribed by the law of 1841. Wc place tho number of square miles at eighteen hundred, which gives the maximum of 160 acres to 7200 persons qualified to purchase land under the provisions of the abova mentioned law. Four-fifths of this number is 57G0, the assumed number of precmptors. Full one half of these are singlo men and non-residents, leaving 2,880 as the number of families actually resident here. Let each family be supposed to contain five members, and the presumtivo population is 24,410.

Arc wc too sanguine in believing that, iu five years more, every quarter section will be occupied by a resident family?— Then the number of rural inhabitants will not be less than 36,000. Let every man's farm produce the average yield of ten acres of wheat, and the number of bushels would exceed 110,000. Let the same number of acres be sown to oats, and the same planted to corn, the sum total of a single year's cropping would exceed a half million bushels of grain.

With thirty acres devoted to wood grow« ing and orcharding, there may be seventy acres of pasturage and meadow-land on every farm, and still leave double the number of acres to plow, we have just considered. Extend the time a few years, and we may calculate upon a yearly yield of grain of upward of a million bushels.

A similar estimate may be made of the probable amount of stock, pork, wool, 4c.t which this region is to produce.

MAN DRUGGED BY A WOMAN TO PROCURE MARRIAGE. A Philadelphia correspondent tells of a young woman—fair but frail who induced an old widower, with married children, who was in the habit of visiting her, to marry her, she having first drugged him with liquor. One of the City Fathers was invited to tie the knot bat seeing the position of affairs, returned to„ his office to procure a marriage certificate.!. Instead of returning, he sent a police officer for the old gentleman's son, and together, they rcscued him from the woman's clutche*^. The woman followed the party out on the pavement, and endeavored to induce the old

to return. Finding all her persna«,

sions to be lost, she commenced to. fight, and one of the officers received a very pretty black eye from her delicate fipt.
