OCTThe prospects of effecting a peace in Europe are not so good ns they were a few weeks back. The probability is there will be a general war, involving all the old world.— Should this occur it will doubtless remove to some extent the oppressive chains of the masses, who long for liberty but are kept down by the hired minions of crowned heads.— The spirit of civil and religious freedom is gradually gaining ground, but many years must yet elapse ere there is universal liberty.

Letter from the Editor.

LAFAYETTE, Jan. 4, 1854.

Having a little business at the Star City, I got on board the cars this morning and hud a most delightful ride, the road being so perfectly smooth as not to give us a single jar the whole distance.

The first thing that greeted my ear was the news of a fire last night, which consumed three ware-houses, one small ham curing establishment, ihe Indiana House, two stables, injuring a new block of buildings belonging to Mr. Joseph Hanna, several thousand bushels of corn, and many goods. The loss is very large—the amount of insurance not known.

The next thing heard was the funeral of Monroe Stockwell, which will take place to-day at 2 o'clock. Mr. S. was an old citizen of this place, had many excellent traits of character, possessed of good business capacity, but unfortunately for him, his love of strong drink had mastered him, and like hundreds of others in our land he has been borne away by this destroyer. 'What more melancholy reflections can arise than those suggested by such a death? To stand over the gravo of a noble hearted man, cut down in the prime of life by the greatest enemy of man, who will not feel a saddening influence come over the heart and long for power to crush the monster that destroys eo many of the noble 9^ Earth? It is a fact which cannot too often be caned to mind, that thirty thousand of our citizens annually fall victims td intemperance thirty thousand victims annually sacrificed on this bloody altar. Reader, will you stand by a mighty grave capable of containing thirty thousand men, and as the clock of time tolls the nell of a departed year, see that mighty host sink into the grave, and then read on the itombstoue as written by the finger of God himself, that no drunkard shall enter into the kingdom of heaven! Can you with «uch reflections still sustain the manufacture and sale of the drinks which cause this vast amount of Buffering and death? Should we not as patriots, philanthropists and christians, use our utmost efforts to rid the world of an evil so monstrous and so destructive. We have known in our own county a drunken husband and father to drive his wife and children in the dead hour of a winter's night, from their home, to seek shelter in the woods, to shiver with cold, rather than be beaten an and probably destroyed by him, who should be their protector and friend. Such instances frequently occur and are the legitimate result of the liquor traffio." .Who can support it?

I perceive they are busily at work on the Wabash Valley Railroad, which is to be completed in about two years, or one year from next May.

The number of Railroads coming into this place, have materially changed the character of its business, benefiting in some things, injuring it in others. Whatever may be said or done, it must ever be one of the best business points in the Wabash Valley. It has wealth, enterprise and a rich country to sustain it,

and then

Since the construction of our Railroads, an idea of the vast resources of th« Wabash Valley has burst upon the astonished vision of our sister States, who previously had but faint

conception of its fertility or its .cultivation. With a judicious system of agriculture it is destined to become one of the most wealthy countries in the world. Millions of foreigners are now seeking a home here, who come it is true, with prejudices in favor of freedom, but their education is utterly at variance with all the principles of a republican government. Their religion too, their allegiance to the Pope and their submission to the Priesthood will doubtless be the cause of severe troubles when their numerical strength become somewhat stronger. In this broad valley, aptly termed the great Mississippi Valley, is to be fought the great battle between Protestantism and Catholicism. If the former is successful then may we expect to see the sun of our freedom shining brightly on, and luture generations will hail with new and ever increasing delight but should the latter succeed, that glorious orb will go out in darkness, deep and oppressive as that which now broods over down trodden Italy.

As Protestants we should hail and receive them as brothers, but no efforts should be left untried to redeem them from the thralldom in which both mind and body are now held.

T. W. F.

DGr'For several weeks past the weather has been dry and rather cold, but on Tuesday morning last a balmy breeze came from the south and relaxed the icy grasp of stern old winter, and it really seemed as if spring had dawned upon us. But before two days shall have passed, as rude blasts as ever swept over the north pole may blow upon us.

Q^j^Ward the murderer of Mr. Butler of Louisville Ky., has obtained a change of venue and will be tried in Elizabethtown, south of Louisville.— Mr. George G. Dunn, of this State, has been retained on the part of the prosecution.

OCT We learn that Mr. R. P. KIDDER, from New York, is supplying the merchants of this place, with a very fine and choice lot of Jewelry, Stationery, &c. We understand he stops at the Bell Hotel for a few days only.

OC/2We were preseuted a few days since, with what wo should term a "Butter Duck," from Mrs. EBECCA DEMORET, wife of our esteemed friend Samuel B. Demoret, Esq., of Brown township. We have seen some fine Butter, but must confess this specimen surpasses any thing of the kind we have had the pleasure of examining. Mrs. D. has our most hearty thanks.

Sophomore Exhibition.

WQ enjoyed the pleasure of attending the Exhibition of the Sophomore Class of Wabash College, at Centre Church, on Monday evening, Dec. 19th, and were highly gratified with the character of the performances.~ There vvaa some tendency to repetition and exaggeration in some of the pieces, but throughout they were well written and were a credit to the young gentlemen who composed them.— They manifested that much care and labor had been beatovved on their composition. There was less than usual of that Sophomoric pomposity and bombast generally exhibited on such occasions, and ..more solid thought, clearly and forcibly presented. The greatest defect in any of the orations was a lack of animation and energy in delivery. And, indeed, a failure here is a defect in a vital point. Very much depends on the delivery of an oration, especially of the kind we have at such exhibitions. A little more labor in committing to memory and in most of the speeches, twice as much life and energy would have added very much to the effect. Several of the young gentlemen need to pay special attention to their delivery if they expect to be successful public speakers. None of them have any reason to bo discouraged. The style and character of their speeches showthat they have minds and can apply them to some purpose. They have only to give their attention to the subject and they will succeed. The music was fine, creditable alike to the taste and performance of the members of the band, and it is to be hoped that they will keep their organization and give us some more of the same kind on future occasions.

There was one thing, we wish to notice, which struck our mind very unfavorably, and that was that President White felt himself called upon to request the audienco to give attention and conduct with propriety during the exercises. Not that he did wrong in making the request. It was perfectly proper for him to do so if there was any necessity. That there was, occasion, and has been heretofore, there can be no doubt, but that there should be, is to be regretted by every one who has the character of this community at heart. To pay attention, and to refrain from whispering and passing notes wUilo tliu young men are speaking is so plainly in accordance with propriety and gentility, that it is strange that any person making pretensions to good manners, should ever be guilty of such improprieties. That there should be any call for the request made hy the* President does not speak very well for those who attended the exhibition.— HaC* people of the village be*hp. come so

insensible to i!l« rules of

propriety that when they atienu an exhibition, they must be culled to order as though they were children that they must be requested, as a favor to act like ladies and gentlemen?— Surely we have come to a great pass. If such conduct ia a manifestation of the peculiar genius of the West, 1 think Mr. Editor, it must be an evil genius, and for the sake of our good name, we had better get rid of it as soon as possible. The talking and laughing happened, doubtless, more from inadvertence and thoughtlessness than from any ignorance of the rules of propriety, but this is no excuse for those who pretend to be well bred people. If thoughtlessness could be any apology for such conduct, often being reminded of it, this last shadow of excuse would be removed. But after tho remarks made by Pres. White, several of the speakers were embarrassed and confused by individuals in the audicnce whispering and laughing. One of the speakers was so confused by the conduct of two or three individuals in one seat, that he came near forgetting bis? piece, and several of the young gentlemen were seriously interrupted by the same kind of conduct. In jubtioe it should be said that such conduct was not general. A large majority, all, except a few, on that evening and always heretofore, conducted themselves with peffect propriety. But those few what shall we say of them?

What does such conduct indicate? From boys who have grown up in the streets, wild and rude, we are not sur prised to see such things, but those individuals were not such. They were of those from whom we certainly would expect better things those who move in what is considered the best society and who would feel themselves greatly insulted if their gentility should be called in question. If their claim to the character of ladies and gentlemen, rests on no bet

ter ground than their conduct during apart of the exercises, it is to say^the least, a very doubtful one. There was also a repetition of the same conduct by several individuals on the following evenings. True politeness and gentility lead an individual to act with propriety on all occasions.— What, then shall we think of those who have been spoken to on the subject who know that they are confusing and wounding the feelings of the speakers and disturbing thoso who wish to listen to the speakers yet in the face of all this will laugh, whisper, write notes, and otherwise cause disturbance? One would suppose that a single suggestion would be sufficient, but it has not proved so and it is time some other method should be used to bring these individuals to their senses, if they have any. They are known and if this hint is not sufficient to induce them to act with propriety on future occasions, perhaps it would be gratifying to their vanity to see their names in print.

From the Seat of War. The Cleveland people seem disposed to make fun of their neighbors at who have shown ruch a plucky disposition. Tn€ following is from the Cleveland Herald:

Our special reporter furnishes us with an abstract of the patriotic address delivered at Erie by Captain Ebenezer Scootz to his dctachment of D. S. Fusileers, just previous to the attack on the enemy's bridges.— Whilst we lament the necessity of the gallant officer's taking the field, we cannot but admire his eloquence and pluck.

The distinguished captain whose breast was adorned with the badge of the Erie order of Golden Fleece, and in whose cap was displayed the figure of a tortoise beautifully worked in Erie brass, vvas fully armed for a desperate conflict. In one hand he flourished a huge Bologna sausage his coat pockets were filled with eggs of unmistakable odor, (supposed to be emblematic of the reputation of Erie,) and in his belt were stuck two ginger pop bottles, loaded to the very corks. Thus equipped he mounted an empty whiskey barrel, (the former contents of which had been transferred to the throats of the D. S. Fusileers,) and raised his right hand with the Bologna sausage pointing to a little streak of a cloud.

Hooray Jfor Capting Scootz!' shouted the excited crowd. The Captain bowed, coughed twice, drew his coat sleeves first across his face and across tho small of his back, and commenced his oration thus: 'Friends, fellow citizens, and members of this ere invincible army: We are met here this day to carry out a great idear to show to the world that there is one place in this 'ere world,

that place is Erie! [Cheers]. We aren't agoing to be bullyragged by no railroads whatsumever, nor by nobody else. Erie is the great stopping place where everything comes to a standstill, and, by hokey, everything shall come to a standstill. [Immense excitement.] We aren't agoing to have our trade stopped to have our peanuts* ginger beer, our sausages, and our cakes, in which so much money is invested I say, feller-citi-zens, we aren't agoing to have, them

lie on the hands of our honest merchants. ['No! no!*] Folks shall stop and buy 'em though their stummicks turn up-side down. Erie says it, and Erie knows what's what. [Uproarous cheerihg.] Feller-citizens, they s»y they will bring the United States laws upon us. [Cheers.] What do we care for the hull United States? VVho is Frank Perse? Didn't we 'lect him? Wont we kick him out ef he dont behave hisself? ['Go it Scootz! Hooray!'] We dont care for no Grate West nor no Grate East. Erie is Erie, and she is right atween the two, and ef they dont acknowledge her to be Cap'n of 'em, darn'd ef they shall speak to one 'nother. Cleveland and Buffalo make a great fuss about their rights, but what are they to us?— [Yells and hisses.] Let 'em come along with their men and guns and troops. Aa the ole feller says in the play— 'Come on Mr. Duff, And be darn'd if you dont get enough.'

Feller-Citizens—I aren't got much more to say. Fust let's licker, and then, as George the Fust said to Julius Csear. 'Up, boys, and give 'em partikular fits!'

The captain's speech was concluded amid vociferous applause and the army immediately set out for the scene of action, the band playing the 'Rogue's March.'

New York Cryistal Palace. The New York Tribune announces that the Crystal Palace is to be a permanent afTair. It says:

It is now definitely settled that the Chrystal Palace is to be A PERMANENT INSTITUTION, devoted to the exhibition of industrial and artistic productions of all nations. We deem this matter of high national importance. Not only will there be a display side by side, in the duplicate force of positive character and comparative merit of all the great nations, but there will be the technical means of judging of the value of things eo shown. The learned decisions of Juries will be brought to boar from time to lime, to weigh the rival claims of competitors, and instruct the public on arts and sciences so extensively included in the catalogue of the Institution.

We apprehend that the great influences to be exorcised by the Crystal Palace are not yet adequately rea^ ized. Up -to this time, our home industry and taste have had no national platform. Se^ral States which have Institutes, with the necessary machinery of expositions, awards and reports, are equal in importance but none enjoy that necessary preeminence of position and influence, so valuable in the march of art and industry, to the interest of individuals and the public. But now we have among us by the permanency of the Crystal Palace, not only a national institution which knows neither sectional contraction nor periodical death —which is ^presented by one of the finest buildings in the country, placed favorably in the Metropolis of thirtyone States, and the greatest port of half the world, and destined soon to be that of the world—but also a cosmopolitan foundation, where we can measure strength with Europe in all that determines civilization. A great national event this—important to every aspirant who seeks a CapitolHill for his labor or genius, where his work may declaim Senator-like to the whole country, and be weighed in the scales of the world

"Ah, well now,".says' "Jemmy was a boy that there mighty little can be said against." "Be the powers, then," says he, there 8 jU8^ about as little can besaid in his favor."
