Ke# AlbfcOy Ar SalemStailroad. Much has been said of late about the irregularity and bad management of th?6road but few arc aware of the true difficulties with which it has had to contend. Nor is this the only road in our country on which difficulties occur and delays are made. On onr trip home from the'East we were detained at Alleghany city five hours unnecessarily, the train west having left just fifteen minutes before our arrival, and never were travelers eoinpelled to remain in dirtier places—genuine, filthy dutch doggeries. The slight detention at Alleghany, brake the connexion and we were compelled to remain at Gallion seven hours, and then two hours at Indianapolis, and the same at Lafayette. There was general complaint made by travellers against the Pennsylvania road. We mention these facts merely to show that the New Albany and Salem railroad is not the only sinner in the land. It is true that this road has novel had sufficient power to do the immense business accumulating upon it, and the only wonder is that so much has been accomplished with so little power. Much is due the skill of those managing its affairs. Wc are glad to learn that four new engines will soon be brought into use, and we doubt not there will be improvement in-its time and business transactions.
The Agents, Conductors and others employed upon the road, are as polite and accommodating as on any on which we have traveled. They do as much for the accommodation of travelers. That among so many there.shculd be some ill-natured and unaccommodating hands is not at all surprising. From the commencement to the present time, the agents at this station have been polite, gentlemanly men, who have done all in their power to please travelers and those doing business on the road.
JfcgrA very interesting article will be found in this number of the Journal—de: scriptive of the treatment which Lord Morpeth received from some of the aristocracy of Chicago, during his visit to that city. "Wc commend it the special attention oi Count TJuwen. It will be seen that common dress and an unpolished cap occasional! iuLjecls the titled dignitaries of earth to the incivilities of the aristocratic tuu.— Lord Morpeth was a man of sterling worth, on whose blow was stamped the impress of genius his eloquence had charmed the gifted and the great in that home of the great, the British Isle. In his manners appeared nil the blandness and elegancc of an English nobleman, yet that haughty lady in her gaudy and dashing draper}- perceived it not.
Such occurrences have strongly impressed us with the belief that oven the Count, with his courtly manners and lordly bearing, unless adorned with the glittering trappings of nobility, might under certain circumstances be treated with somewhat less than ordinary civility nay, even with positive indifference. Were he to mingle in the "thick array of the thronged legions" who •crowd and rush through Broadway, not all would have full knowledge of the ponderous and weighty state papers that have appeared in the columns of the Crawfordsville Review, not every man would be aware of the fact that had he royal blood coursing in his veins and consequently the crowd might not pay duo deffercnce to his titles. v"When such things do and might occur with such distinguished personages as Lord
Morpeth and Count Bowcn, it is not at all to be vvondeied at that an humble, unpretending democrat like ourself should be passed without much notice, especially when wealing an old weather-beaten cap.

iSSrWe deeply regretted our absence on Wednesday evening, the day on which the Temperanec Jubilee came off. Wc understand there was a feast of reason and a flow of soul—a genuine glorious time. The occasion was the meeting of the Grand Division of the Sons of Temperance and the dedication of the new Hall, which is a mag-
room, worthy the glorious cause to
...rwliich it is dedicated* Col. LANE made one of his happist speeches. Dr. CURRY of J' Indianapolis, delivered an address before "•""the Grand Division, which in spoken of in *, the highest terms.
'The authorities of Chicago attemptcd to enforce the liquor law, but the Sag Nichts resisted their efforts with force, and a bloody riot-ensued. Several lives were lost. The liquor traffic in every manner, shape and form, will result in death. The authorities, we understand, have finally succeeded. The great mass of those who resisted the law were foreigners.
MERCHANTS.
Notwithstanding the recent crisis in the ntfoney market, the shortness- of tlyj last year's crops, and the fears of general bankruptcy, our merchants, generally seem to be doing a good business, .and receive almost or quite as much cash as ususal. The business of our town is rapidly increasing and must absorb the larger amount of trade fVom this and surrounding counties. Our merchants and Grocers are every year increasing their stocks, both in quality and quantity.

Mr. Russell would be pleased to see his numerous old friends in his new station, and assures them that he will take great delight in waiting on them and showing them the various new and splendid fashions of the spring.
Township Libraries.
The last third of the township libraries is now in a process of distribution to the counties, and will shortly be apportioned to the several townships of the State. The protracted delay of their reception has been a matter of deep regret to all, but it is unnecessary now to go into a detailed account of the cause of it. Care will be taken to prevent a like disappointment in future.— With this third of the libraries will be distributed to each township, copies of the State Board Agricultural Reports, also a copy of Bernard's School Architecture.— There will likewise be sent to each County
Auditor fifty copies of the "Third Annual Report of the Superintendent of Public Instruction," for general distribution, after the township Boards of Trustees have received a copy. The friends of Education wishing a copy of said report, will please call on their County Auditors.
Editors throughout the State will confer a favor by giving this notice a conspicuous position in their columns.

BONAPARTES REMOVED FROM ITALY.— The children of Charles Bonaparte Prince of Canino who were bereaved of their estimable mother, (the daughter and last surviving children of Joseph Bonaparte,) in Rome, a short time since, have been ordered to Paris by the Emperor. A marshal of France has been appointed their guardain and tutor, as the father is not to be permitted to have the sole charge of them. The Bonapartes have, therefore, all been removed from Italy. It is whispered however, that the Murat branch cherish hopes of being ultimately restored to Naples.
ADMtESSOF E. H. H. BERRY, O. W.P We give below a portion of the address of E. H. M. Berry, G. W. P., delivered before the Grand Division of Indiana on the 25th instant.
To the Grand Division of Indiana.
OFFICERS AND BROTHERS In submitting my first report, permit me to congratulate yoti upon the brilliant success with which your past efforts have been crowned. Since last we met "INFRIENDSHIP'S BONDS" one grand purpose ot our association has been accomplished. Wearied with the oppression, the crime, the murder, the widespread woe, and desolation of the liquor traffic, Indiana has welcomed to her statutes a salutary law of prohibition,—and from and after the 12th day of June next, "legal sobriety" will spread its broad protecting shield over every interest of the state. To the systematic and persistive efforts of our Order, more than to any other single instrumentality, is this great moral triumph, at which humanity rejoices, to be attributed. In our exultation however, we should not forget that our mission as an Order is not yet accomplished. As an order we aim at nothing less than the entire extermination of the destructive commerce in alcoholic beverages. And not until this great crowning victory shall have been achieved, can we lay off our armor, and retire from the conflict,
The entire end & object of law is its enforcment. The mere morel force of law, how righteous soever it may be, is insufficient to restrain the vicious. Hence this law, like all other laws, to be effectual, must be enforced. And where, I ask, but in the Order of the Sons of Temperance, will you find elements of power and efficiency sufficient to secure its enforcement. The sound, practical, efficient, and reliable organization of the Order attests its adaptation to the work, and proclaims it heaven's chosen instrumentality for the consummation of the reform. From the day of its birth, through all its eventful progress, to the present time, has it been recognized as the leading organization, the head and the front of the temperance enterprise and upon it must continue to devolve the high responsibility of leading off in every new movement designed to promote the common cause. It stands strong and vigorous. "At its tread the demon of Intemperance trembles on his throne, and all his miuions quake with fear. Within its histories and
deliveranee, and upon our action hangs the
draw aiore closely the bonds of our fraternal union, and covenant afresh upon our sacred altars, never, whilst there is an enemy
But the crisis demands something more than the mere sustentction of our Division as distinct organizations. "In our union Iff A our strength," and there should be union of bcidies as well as union of individ-
uals. Upon this subject I have pleas-
destinies are gathered the hopes oi bleeding, defending tho Know Nothing movement in and suffering humanity." This, my Broth- the United States. ers, is no exaggeration. To us, as an Or- telegraph from London to Liverpool, a a a a a dor, doss a rum-scourged people look for jJhaUhe
opinions have always been rcccveu «.tli TritJ. varying succoas, but with great deffercnce by this Grand Division.— P. G. W. P. Fisher, in a communication to me, says "There certainly should be concert of action among all our Divisions, on the subject of enforcing our Liquor law and some plan must be arranged at the next session of the Grand Division. Much depends upon this. We have the best law in the world, and the Sons of Temperance must enforce it, or it will be a dead letter. Let us have some settled plan—and the Grand Division must devise it." Fully concurring in this sentiment, and deeply impressed with the great importance of the subject, I most earnestly press it upon your consideration as the great work of the session. It is your duty, as the assembled representatives of the leading temperance organization in the state, to devise some plan by which to secure the simultaneous execution of the law throughout the entire State.
Arevicwal of the progress and workings of the Order, for tho past six months, so far as reported, calls up mingled emotions of regret and rejoicing. The number of failures during recess has been unusually large. Our brothers, in many localities, growing weary in well doing, or embracing that fatal delusion, "that a prohibitory law supercedes the necessity of organized effort, have suffered their Divisions to "wither, droop and die." But the picture is not all shaded. A very large majority of the Divisions, from which reports have been received, are in the finest state of harmony and most excellent working condition.— Taking just and rational views of the present position of the enterprise, and its pressing demands upon the Order, they have been awakened and energised, and now occupy a more exalted position in the ennobling cause of temperance than at any former period of their history. The membership has been aroused to the importance of greater individual and associated effort.—
New and valuable accessions have been made—delinquency has yielded to fidelity— distrust, to confidence—dastardly inactivity, to heroic exertion, and apparent defeat to certain victory. It will thus be seen that while the order has diminished somewhat in the number of its Divisions, during recess, it has greatly increased in strength
and
efficient temperance action. In this connection, I would call
tention to the Rules of this Grand Division, found on page 188, printed proceedings of the last annual session, in relation to the Degrees. Some Divisions, believing those rules to be antagonistic to the Degree Constitution of the N. D., and unjust and oppressive in their operation upon Subordinate Divisions, have refused to adopt .the Degrees under those restrictions. Others have yielded, though not unreluctantly to their requisitions. I hope that this matter will receive your mature consideration, and that such action may be had as will give satisfaction, and insure the speedy adoption of the Degrees by every Division in the jurisdiction.

ARRIVAL OF THE STEAMER
NASIiyiLLE!
Nothing Important from the Scat of War.
NEW YORK, April 23.
The steamer Nashville, with advices from Liverpool to Saturday, the 7tli inst. Commercial Intelligence.
The Cotton market at Liverpool Was active and prices had advanced. Breadstuff's were unchanged. No new feature in Provisions. The money market at London was easier, and rates of interest lower. Consols a shade lower.
The intelligence from the seat of war and from Vienna, possess nothing of interest. General Intelligence.
The gereral aspect of affairs in the Cri-. mea was unchanged. The conference at Vienna had adjourned over the easter holidays. The impression was becoming stronger, both at London and Paris, that no peace would be negotiated, and that the billigerants would, in all human probability, have to fight it out.
The Russians and Allies were strengthening their positions in the Crimea, preparatory to the spring campaign. At a council of war held at Balaklava on the 12th ult., Omar Pasha asked for the assistance of some of the allied troops to operate at Eupatoria, but his request was not granted, as nothing is expected of the Turks than that they hold Eupatoria.
On the 18th March large reinforcements of Russian troops entered Sebastopol. Gen. Canrobert, in his official dispatch, says that in the affair on the 22d and 23d March, the Russians lost 2,000 men, and the Allies 600. /•f™
The Convention mot at Vienna again on the 2d inst, and adjourned until the 9th, when tho Czar's ultimatum was expected.
A portion of the Baltic fleet sailed from England on the 4th inst. The Russians had established two fortified camps, of thirty thousand men each, to defend the Baltic provinces, and liad blockaded all ports with sunken vessels.

Affecting Scenes at the Execution of Estrampes at Havana. A correspondent of the New York Express, writing from Havana, March 31st, furnishes the following account of the execution of the Patriot Estrampes:
Estrampes has been garroted to-day, in tho presence of hundreds who would have rescued the victirrf by the sacrifice of their own lives, but for the soldiery, who kept the multitude in awe. Yes, that noble, pure, heroic patriot, has made his last sacrifice to his country—he has been offered np a victim to State policy—he has died a brave martyr to his cause.
A horror too deep for words a deadly horror—has taken possession of us here, who, within a fortnight, have seen two noble men sacrificed to the despotic will of a Viceroy. Words fail mc when I would depict the scene of this morning. I have seen old men bow their grey heads and weep. I have seen yonng men faint away like women, and I have seen the great teai course down the bronzed faces of the soldiery, who, with faltering steps, led that young hero on to his victory. es, to victory—it was a victory over death. He alone of all that vast multitude gathered there in that square, about that scaffold he alone stepped free.
His head rose proud in its splendid manly beauty, above that shuddering, shining multitude. No
pallor
marked his brow,
no tremor caused his Jip to quiver, no tear dimmed his clear vision.
rHe
stepped on
toward that fatal chair, with his glance looking far above and beyond that earthly scene to the day when his death would be atoned. He saw in that future that his sacrifice was not all in vain. He saw his native land free—free as should be his soul in a few short moments. He forgot all in that glimpse into futurity. He spoke outthere was no need for words to those who looked on his speaking face, lit with afire which told more of heaven than earth. He thought not of. the death struggle so near at hand—of the dear ones he was to see no more not a thought, of self crossed his
He lived in the future, and Vith prophot
ic eye he saw his life-dream fulfilled? His martyrdom wotil&gain for his country that whjch lus life was was top shprt to effect.
Finally, he mounted this steps to thechaiiof death Tie stopped, turned, flnd then his clear voice rang lit clarion notes to the most verge of that crowd 'Viva la lfbcrtad Viva la libertad Drums beat, trumpets sounded but all in vain. His voice was too clear to be lost, and many a listnor heard the last appeal, that call from the grave. He bade his countrymen pass boldly on, to fear not death, to fight for liberty to win or die, and ever and anon 'Viva la libertad' fell from his lips as though it was the name of all others most dear—a name he would call upon with his last breath.
The clock strikes one, two, three—slowly lie seats himself—the collar Is put around his neck-*-he hears that stroke of time— four, five—"Viva"—six—"la liber"—seven. His words were finished in heaven.
Pure and free as the sky of his dear native land, his soul is now where no fetters- can bind—"where the wicked cease from troubling and the weary are at rest."
AN IMPOSTER—His CAREER SUDDENLY BROUGHT TO A CLOSE.—A man by the name of Charles A. Bowcn alias Charles Sage, claiming to be a Baptist Missionary from New York, was arrested at West Union Chapel, about four miles from this city, last Friday, and taken to New York in custody of an officer from that State. The facts in the case, so far as we were able to learn, are these: Tim Bowen (which is his real name) came to this city last fall in the capacity of a preacher, book-pedler, and school teacher. He is a resident of Livingston county, New York, where he stands indicted for perjury, and was put under bonds in the sum of $2,300 for his appearance at court—'a man named Darlin Havens, going his security. No sooner was ho out of the "clutches of the law" than he took "French leave" of his friends in that State, and made for the West. On arrivriving at Cumberland, in this State, he concluded to stop, and went to work as a missionary of the Baptist denomination, the better to conceal his guilt, and to impose the more readily upon the good people in that vicinity. His first object was to-en-deavor to build an academy by subscription—he went to work soliciting the "material aid," and succeeded in raising $1,80U —himself taking a share. When the day came for paying his first instalment he was unable to do so, and not being able to give security for its payment, as was desired, he left that region, and came to this city, where lie has been ever since, practicing his old games of deceit and hypocrisy. In the meantime he became acquainted with a young lady, residing near West Point Chapel, and on Saturday, the 14th inst., left the city to get married, and returned again early Monday morning last. The officer from New York being on the lookout for his "bird," assisted by our worthy Marshal, succeeded in making his arrest, and took him on to New York, leaving his young wife behind to weep over his fate, and her sad and sorrowful, mis-placed love!
