CRAWFORDSVILLE, INDIANA, OCTOBER 8, 1859,

A CURIOUS FACT.

<Great Eastern> a curious fact was noticed: those who were most hurt, and who first died, seemed the least injured when they first appeared above deck, and even were able to walk aft without assistance. On this point a writer in the London <Times>

says:

A man blown up by gunpowder is a mere figure of raw flesh, which seldom moves after the explosion. Not so with men blown up by steam, who for a few minutes are able to walk about, apparently unhurt, though in fact mortally injured, beyond all hope of recovery. This was so with one or two, who, as they emerged from below, walked aft with that indescribable expression in their faces only resembling intense astonishment, and a certain faltering of the gait and movements like one that walks in his sleep. Where not grimed by the smoke or ashes, the peculiar bright, soft whiteness qf the face, hands, or breast, told at once that the skin, though unbroken, had, in fact, been boiled by the steam. One man walked along with the movement and look I have endeavored to describe, and seemed quite unconscious that the flesh of his thighs, (most probably by the ashes from the furnace) was burnt in deep holes. To some one who came to his assistance he said quietly, "I am all right there are others worse than me; go and look after them." This poor man was the first to die. ———<>———

VICE PRESIDENT IlKCKiNKIDGE ON ,iTHE TEUHITOKIAJ- QUESTION. Three vears ago, at the great mass meeting of the Democracy of the Northwest, on the Tippecanoe Battle Ground, Hon. John C. Brcckiuridgc of Kentucky made a speech, in the course of which he said lie had heard it charged that the fifteen slave States were conspiring to obtain entire possession of the General Government, with a view of bringing its power to b:ar to extend and perpetuate their peculiar institutions. I am conncctcd with no party that has for its object the extension of slavery, nor icith any to prevent the pcojjlc of a State or Territory from deciding the cpiestion of its existence or non-existence fur themselves. I happened to be in Congress when the Nebraska-Kansas Bill passed, aud gave it my voice and my vote because it did what it did. viz: it acknowledged the right of the people to decide the

questi#H /or the/nselws, aud not because 1 ,v

The Democratic party is not a pro-slavery party it is neither pro-slavery or anti-sla-very.

It is within the power of you all, however, to have enough, and to spare.

But will you do it? No, you won't.— Thousands in this church will hear the warning, and allow it to pass by unheeded.— Soon, very soon, all the inhabitants of North and South Amcrica will be writhing in all the horrid agonies of starvation One universal wail of sorrow will ascend from famir.c-striekcn millions, and tho hand of deliverance will not be extended- In that terrible time where will the Sr.int.-j be? Will their lamps be filled and trimmed for the occasion? Th-3 wise will have an abundance, and to spare and, as before said thousands of others will beg from their more prudent friends.

Am I dependent upon these Shyloek merchants any longer? I say to you all, that I will never again allow them to have a penny from me.

Now, how much will it cost me to bring my articles here? I will do like the merchants here do—buy my teams on the Missouri liivcr, use them to haul my freight over the plains, and when they arrive here, sell thein for the original cost which money I can send right back, and again buy teams for the next trip, and the next, and an often as I desire so to do.
