THE IIALF-FAKK AHKAJKiEJIEST TO CHARLESTON. The State Sentinel give the following information to those who design visiting Charleston:

Having received several letters in reference to the half-fair arrangement to the Charlston Convention, we give what particulars we arc in possession of. The fare from here to Charleston, all rail, for the round trip, is $38 15. Tickets will be issued on the 1st of April, and they will be good for one month after the Convention.

Since the foregoing was written, we are -advised that arrangements have been made by which the expenses of the trip to

Charleston, including the railroad fare and the living while there, will not exceed $50. Wo will publish the programme of the arrangement to-morrow, by which all who desire to do so, will be able to go without My fear of extortion at Charleston.

B,0« decision jf Judge CoWM, the town of Crawford3ville is prevented from extending her boandariea. AF Matters now stand, we see bat little nte in keeping up the Corporation. At present it is only an unnecessary tax apon oar citizens without auy real or substantial benefit.— The revenue derived is to meagre in amount to carry out any system of improvement, it serves only to pay officers for eolleeting it. The fact is, the Corporation is an unmitigated humbug, and no sensible tax payer should longer tolerate it. Unless its area eon be extended so as to raise a respectable revenue, above paying the trustees, clerk, and marshal, together with lawyers to fight its law-suits, it should be voted at the next election in May as a swindle—an imposition upon the community.

t&T The Journal of the 22d, grows very indignant over an an article copied into our paper from the Boone County Pioneer. It denies that Col. Lane appointed old Joshua R. Giddings astone of the committee that framed the Abolition platform for 1856. We will accept the denial, not caring whether he did or not. From the fact that the last time the Colonel was in Congress, he voted iu favor of a resolution censuring old Giddings, for offering a resolution, the in-st offensive doctrine in which was that slavery is the creature of municipal law," we have no idea that he has any great love for Joshua. Col. Lane is a Kentuckian, and aa such he would certainly despise and abhor any ultra Abolitionist like Giddings. If we know his honest sentiments, he is a Union

deadly opposed to the dlSUUIOD

sentiments of Seward, Chase & Co. His connection with the Republican party is an accident. Forced upon the track for Gov ernor, he is too modest to step aside, and like the hump-backed tyrant, exclaims

Last week having occasion to visit

Louisville, we crossed over to the peni tcntiary at Jeffersonville. We went company with Sheriff Wallace of our county, and were politely shown through the institution by Mr. Miller, the gentlemanly Warder. Some six hundred convicts are at present confined there, and as a matter of course, the prison is uncomfortably crowded. The convicts, with the exception of thirty or forty, were all busily em ployed in the manufacturing departments The Warden informed us that he seldom had occasiou to punish any of them, that hcy generally obeyed the rules of the prison, and that they were promptly paid for all over work. The alacrity and cheerfulness with which the men work, was a striking proof of this human regulation, and a contrast to the former barbarous treatment of convicts. The institution at Jeffersonville is a model for the punishment as well as the reformation of criminals, and we are satisfied front the men who have charge of it, that a large per ccnt of the criminals sent there arc reformed, and in many cases become useful and respectable members of the community.

t&T Some of the more intense portion of the Republicans, have been endeavoring for the last two months to raise a club in our town. So far they have met with but little success. Most of our young men those who arc not acting with the Na tional Democracy—bcloug to the American party. The truth is, the Helperitcs will make a poor show in Indiana this fall.— Niggcrism is about played out. The people have no disposition to see the insurrection at Harper's Ferry repeated. They desire to see good will and fraternal feeling re-established .with their Southern brethren.

a terrible epithet. Knowing his own miserable pie-bald party to bo the only disunion organisation in the country, he flatters himself that by pursuing that kind of tactics, he will to a certain extent relieve his nigger party of the odium with which it is covered. As well might Nessus tear from his body the poisoned shirt, as Black Reipublicanism divest itself of its sectional, disunion proclivities. We advise the jackdaw to adopt some new dodge. This too silly, it only makes Democrats laugh at him for a fool.

I THE rACIFIC «Alt«OA».r the New York Herald's Washington

correspondent

states thai meeting of the

Select Paeiic Railroad Committee of the. House had been held on the l?tb, at which a general disposition prevailed to adopt the main features of Mr. Curtis' bill, which was first proposed last year, so far as it affords pecuniary aid to the government.— It provides for a loan to the contractors of fifty millions of dollars, and alternate sections of land as usually provided the work to be commenced at each end at the same time, a certain payment in money to be made for the first degree of longitude, and to increase in a given ratio until the work is completed, making the receipts to contractors for the last degree about twice the amount paid for the first. More aid proportionally for the same distance is furnished to the Pacific end than to the Eastern, in consequence of the higher prices required for labor and material. Although Mr. Curtis' proposition has not bean really adopted, the debate on the subject devclopes little or no opposition to it, except to the donation of land, which may be stricken out, and the opinion is that it may in that shape prevail. The route contained in his proposition is about the same as that surveyed by Colonel Lander, by way of the South Pass, to commence at or near St. Joseph, on the Missouri, and terminate at San Francisco. It is estimated that the road will be seventeen hundred and fifty miles long. Curtis' bill grants alternate sections on each side six miles in length, and each section contains six hundred and forty acres, which would amount to a donation of about eighteen and a half million acres of public lands. The land grant is, and will continue to be, seriously opposed by the friends of the Homestead bill. They will insist upon keeping the public pomain out of the hands of specu1 1 .1 .» ,• 1

settlers, who will improve it and thereby devclope the resources of the country, and are in favor of paying solid money for the construction of Pacific railroads.

IS" The Hon. Edward Bates has defined his position and lost his availability— that is to say his presumed capacity—calculated upon by the N. Y. Tribune to command votes outside the Republican party. The Louisville Journal assails him without hesitation. It says he has "not. merely subscribed to the entire Republican platform, but he has subscribed to it in the peculiar Republican spirit. He is opposed to the extension of slavery,' says the telegraph, and in his opinion the spirit and policy of the Government ought to be against its extension.' This covers the whole Republican ground. It settles the position of Mr. Bates decisively. He is a Republican and nothing else. He is'just as good or bad a Republican as Seward or Chaise or Lincoln is. He is a Republican pure and simple. As such of course the Constitutional Union men of the South will scorn to touch him. He has by a single blow severed every tie of confidence or of sympathy which connected him with the Southern Conservatives."

The Journal further cuts his throat thus: lie can command no votes outside of the Republican party, and can't command all the votes iu it. Tbis is plain. As a mere Republican he is unquestionably weaker tliau any one of a dozen or two others, and he has voluntarily sacrificed whatever conservative strength he possessed. The truth is, Mr. Bates letter has destroyed the only real claim to the Chicago nomination that he ever pretended to have, or that his friends ever set up in his name. In putting his Republicanism beyond reproach, he has suuk his pretensions to the level of the vulgar herd. lie has purchased membership in the Republican party at the cost of all title to its leadership.

IIORRIDLE CKUELTY—A Ktt STARVING HIS MOTHER TO HEATH. Within the past few weeks the neighbors of Mr. Willis Graves, who resides at No. 234 Prospcct street, in this city, have had suspicious that his treatment of his aged mother, who lives with him, was far from being what it should be, and these suspicions have so far strengthened into reality, and the grounds for them have become so apparent, that we would not be justified in withholding from the world all the particulars of the horrible and unnatural crimes of which this man is guilty, that diligent search has brought to light. In short Mr. Graves stands convicted by those who have had opportunity of judging, of wilfully neglecting, abusing and starving his aged mother.

Mrs. Graves, the old lady referred to, is about 76 years of age, and has lived with her son for several years. Until within a year past she has been out to church, to the neighbors, &c. A lady who attended the same church with her became acquainted with her a year or two ago, and took an interest in her, calling upon her at her son's house, where she then occupicd a front chamber. Some months ago she confessed to this lady friend of hers that they did not live happily at home, her son and his wife treating her unkindly. She said that a former wife of this son had treated her well, but when Mr. Graves married again the affairs of the house were very much changed, and her newdaughter-in-law was unkind toward her. About this time she was removed from her former chamber to a small back one in which she has been ever since, and here she would have shortly died in destitution and want, had not the community been so roused up as to compel a change for the better. The furniture of this room has been a bed, a table, and one chair, and these of the cheapest and commonest kind. The stove has been so long neglected, that it was as rusty as an anchor, and everything was of the meanest possible description. Some six weeks ago, Mrs. Graves was so reduced as to be'confined to her bed, and there she was suffered to lie, day after day, with no one to sit with her, no one to cheer her, no one to care for her. She said to a friend,

Hove little children dearly, and I want to have them up here to see me, but they will not allow it."

SW hacLJeid pn her be move or bipheiielf, djgr nigjhfc to ly negleoled exqppt 0«fce' day^at noon, when she Iras tended tor aCew munites by 'two Gerl^an women, and a bitpf da?£ toast given her to eat, and with this bit of toast as her only meal in twenty-four hours, she lias wasted away until she'is now a bare skeleton. It'will seem incredible that a son and daughter could so forget all the principles of love, affection, or common humanity, as thus to systematically drag an aged parent down to the grave, and were not the evidence too strong to dispute, we would credit no word of it, but when one person tells us of concealing an orange in her pocket and giving a piece to the old lady, who seized and devoured it as ravenously as a wild beast and another that on her bed was no sign of a sheet, but that she lay upon a bare straw bed, until festering sore? covered her back and limbs and another that she was totally neglected in her bed, when too weak to move, for three days and that when her son was remonstrated with for his unnatural conduct, he sneeringly answered, What the use of taking bread from the living, and giving it to one three-quarters dead? then it is surely time the world knew it.

Lately, no one has been permitted to see the old lady. Mr. W. J. Warner was applied to go and investigate the matter, and went accordingly. Mr. Graves declared to him that not a person except him Mr. W.) should enter his house. We understand that he cenfcsaed to Mr. W. that they gave the old lady but one meal a day. He was required to provide persons to take care of her, and see that she is properly tended. "Mr. Warner will now keep a watch of the matter, and see that something is done fof her relief. There is no doubt this son and daughter intended by their cruel proceedings to put the old lady out of the way, and to get rid of her.— Too nearly have tbpy succeeded. Mrs. Graves is described as an intelligent, christian woman, and this outrageous treatment by her heathenish and unnatural children, is fearful to contemplate. In certain Indian tribes, the old people arc knocked on the h|pd with a club as they grow old they expect it but that such things should

of the half we have heard from reliable sources of the systematic barbarism manifest in this transaction, and we forbear but the end is not yet.—Cleveland Leader.

A UAIL UOAU FREE BLOW. Proclamation has been mads, with great pomp, in the newspapers of the West and Southwest, of a forthcoming "Grand Editorial Excursion." Editorial excursions, of one kind or another, are pretty ordinary occurrences. Excursions iu the realms of polities, philosophy, literature and religion excusrions imaginative, fanciful, and poetic excursions logical and sophistical, sage and sophomoric. sublime and ridiculous excursions made with help of sharp steel, or diamond pointed gold, or dull lead pencil, or gray goose quill all these arc the familiar recreations of the inky fraternity of the press.

But it is to none of these that they arc now invited. They are bidden to a free ride on a rail—a free blow across the Alleghanies—a gratuitous excursion to Washington! Ye Gods! what a magnificent idea! The scenery of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, and connecting links, is to be exhibited to upwards of a thousand editors at once! The illustrious band is to start from Wheeling on the morning of the 13th proximo. The Company's new hotel at Grafton Junction is to have the honor of dining them, and the thrice-happy city of Cumberland is to have the feeility of furnishing them with beds over night— Resuming the triumphal march the nest morning, they are to reach Washington in time for early tea, and a game of billiards, "if so dispoged"—to borrow the classic language of the useful Mrs. GAMP. Arrived in the Federal city, they are to be allowed to follow the bent of their respective inclinations. They may quarter themselves on the frowsy marsh which serves as a foundation to the Washington Monument, or charge in a body upon the astonished Chief Magistrate at the White House, or take possession of the lobbies of the House of Commons and House of Lords, or write ponderous correspondence for their respective papers, all franked through as "public business" by the obsequious M. C.'s, or take the cars for Charleston, to help make a President.

All this, it must be confessed, seems sufficiently magnificent. What could be more charming and disinterested than the lavish hospitality of the railroad companies who arc expcctcd to cotne in" to tbis delightful arrangement? What more striking, not to say imposing, than the coup d'eil presented by a train bearing a thousand editors, thundering through the scenery of Virginia, to the Capitol of the nation? And then the healths that would be drunk, and the speeches that would be made, ami the toasts and sentiments that would be got off, and the steam that would be got on, and the songs that would be fiung. and the stories that would be told, and the wit, and the merriment, and the champagne, and the sandwiches, and the glory, and the distinction, and the sights, and the sounds, and the sentiment, and the sentimentalism, and the moral reflections, and the jokes, and the geography, and the politics, and the patriotism, and the dinners, and the suppers, and the breakfasts and the lunches, and the big drinks and the little drinks, and the hobnobbing, and the smoking, and the jolly, general, uproarious fun!

t&'A correspondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer writing from Whitesville Montgomery county, gives the following personal description of the Republican candidate for Governor of Indiana

Perhaps some of your readers would like to have a description of Colonel Lane. If so, let them imagine a tall, gaunt, rawboned individual, with a visage wrinkled and lean a gray shawl wrapped very precisely around his attenuated form his head and shoulders at an angle of about fortyfive degrees, with a ponderous cud of tobacco in his mouth, which he chews with a quick, nervous and spiteful motion of his jaws, occasionally ejecting huge volumes of inky liquid from either corner of his capacious mouth promenading the streets with the slow and measured tread of one who feels his dignity and importance—let them imagine all this, and they will have the Colonel before them true to life. It is no fancy picture, but will be readily recognised by those acquainted with Col. Lene.

?gave'«s

the history of her married

life':'" .. Her parents came to live in this part of the country about five years ago, and settled in East Cleveland. At that time she was about fourteen years of age, and had brothers and sisters, some younger and some older than herself. When she was sixteen years old, she fell in with well known colored barber, living in the city called James Akers, a "stylish sad-dle-colored negro. Becoming infatuated with him, she ran away from her parents in the evening, and joined Akers in the city. They were immediately married according to law, a negro and a white "nymph" acting as witnesses. That night the happy couple stopped at a low house under the hill, the bride not being aware, as she says, of the character of the place. In the morning her husband deserted her artd went to live with another woman, thus opening her eyes to the real character of the people she had got amongst.

For one week the unfortunate bride lived without fuel or mon$y, her only subsistence during the time being a raw cabbage. At the end of the week, Akers came to live with her again for a short time, treating her with greater cruelty, and threatening to kill her, whenever she spoke of complaining of his behavior. After abusing her thus for some mouths, and compelling her to live with the most degraded people in the different parts of the city, he at length again deserted her for a time, when she lay sick and helpless on her bed, without fire, light, medicine or food.

When she fled from her fathers house a strict search was instituted for her, but without effect, and her fate was not ascertained until some time afterward. Then she was cast off by her family and forbidden ever to come near her former home. When she was deserted and iu sickness, her mother learned the fact, and assisted her to the best of her power. A.% soon as Akers knew that she had found friends, he returned and commenced his old tricks.— Oue morning he dragged her out of bed when she was unable to walk, placed her on the floor with her back to a bed post, and left her with orders to iron a shirt for him. In that position she was found by her mother. She narrated a number of instances of cruclt\-, extending through the three ears of her married life. At one time he sold a stove given her by her parents, and left her in the winter without means to make a fire. At another time he discharged a loaded pistol at her head, but missed. Once the neighbors threatened to tar aud'feather him, because of his conduct.

On Thursday she made up her mind to leave him and return to her parents, who had offered to take her. For some time past he had done little or nothing at his business, but lived on the money earned by her, with a sewing machine given her by her parents. Akers insisted on her staying with him, and endeavored to get into the house, smashing the windows in the attempt. She had him arrested, but he asked her to do

begged him off when so. His return for the kindness was to go I to the house and steal the bed clothes out of the window with a pole. Yesterday he again created a disturbance and insisted on getting possession of the sewing ma-! chine. He was again arrested and lodged in Prison. Mrs. Akers is a young woman of some attractions. She says she loves Akers dearly, but can not en*d re to be treated in the manner he does her. She says he has repeatedly threatened to take her life, and he has his razors secreted in three different places so as to be ready on any emergency. He is a drunken dissolute negro. The troubles and trials of the ill-assorted couple, are the natural consequences of their disgusting connection, and the teaching of modern Republi-1" canism. I

The Republican candidate for Governor

was once in Congress. He was at the time a full grown man and claimed to be a wise legislator, fully understanding the policy which should govern the country. His whole Congressional career was ultra proslavery, and no Northern representative went further in what he now ternss "truckling to the 6lavebolding interests of the country." Joshua R. Giddings was in Congress at the same time. He offered some1 resolutions, the' most-offensive doctrine in which was that slavery is the creature of municipal law," and that the slave becomes free whenever he is taken beyond the "limits br"the territory" owned by th« State under which he is held, unto a place where slavery hsc on positive

Mr Lane was a "free" man representing a ".free" constituency, yet.not the most ultra pro-slavery man in Congress went further to put down the freedom of sentiment and speech.— The only motive he'could have had in favoring the censure of Father Giddings was that he then regarded it the popular side of the question, and he has always had an itching to be on the strong side regardless of consistency or principle

In a year or two a change came over his philosophy. He was again a candidate for Congress. A large free soil vote had grown up in his district, and without that aid his aspirations could not be satisfied. Then be was opposed to gag rules he suddenly became a fast friend of the Wilmot Proviso if elected he would not vote for the admission of slave States, and upon the whole was a pretty fair Abolitionist.— But this sudden conversion would not do. His record was too fresh in the minds of his constituents. They voted in favor of his staying at home.

The whole political career of Col. Lane shows him to be the veriest changling.— Without any fixed principles, or just conception of the theory of our Government, he floats wherever the popular breeze may waft him or as he thinks his interest may be subserved.

Does Col. Lane's vote in favor of the resolution censuring old Giddings give any evidence of his regard for freedom?"

The spirits who kindly assist at these exhibitions are said to be much more docile and obliging than those of Mr. Hume, who was here two years ago, and the performances of the Italian necromancers consequently cast those of the famous American entire^' into the shade. No deception has yet been detected, and if any is practiced, it is certainly of no vulgar sort.
