ifSTWe have several ably written contributions laying upon our table which came in too late for insertion this week.—

vAVe

hope to be able to .insert them in our toexl issue.

OCR CORRESPONDENTS. We

Have made arrangements with sev-

cral very eminent writers living in various portions of our country to correspond regularly for the Journal hence our readers will weekly bo delighted with the delicious strains from their able pens.

Wc think contributions coming from imch a source cannot fail in adding greatly to the value and interest of our paper.— .We expect occasionally to rsoiove voluntary contributions which will be highly interesting to all. We would therefore solicit short articles from our friends, on any important topic, written plainly and to the

Burning of the Histine House. We neglected in OUK la^t issue to notice the burning of this well known Hotel.— The entire building was consume'! Iv the fiery element, but we a:e happy to learn that fl great pail of the furniture was saved by the efforts of "our citizens who flocked to the disastrous scene. We are pained to &tate that this is not only a sad loss to the gentlemanly proprietors of the Hotel, Messrs. IXQCRSOLL & Hirrr, but.to our city. We understand that steps are being taken to erect a largo and commodious Hotel on the rains of the old one.

Temperance Festival.

On last evening we had the pleasure of attending the grandest festival of the kind that ever come off in our young and fionribhing city. Three long tables were indeed groaning beneath the load of viands, and delicacies, which were piled high upon them. The Ladies of Cn:wfordb\ ille de*er\ all honor, for the taste and neatness displayed in the arrangement of the Supper. We were indeed charmed with the gorgeous appearance of the occasion the brilliancy ot the Hal1, and above all the Ladies to us were the most charming ornaments of the occasion. Long live the Ladies of Crawlordsville! The large and splendid "Temperance Tlall" was crowded lo overflowing, and all went off, "merry as a man iage bell." The occasion wa clo.-ed with a veiy excellent address from Judge Isavlor. When the Ladies of Crawfoidsviiio give another supper may we be there to see, and enjoy its happy festivities..

COREY'S CORN-PLANTEil-A HAND" ROME OPERATION. Sometime ago the late editor expressed '••"•himself in terms of most unijualiiiod approbation of the Corn-Planter invented an.'l patented by our townsman, Mi*. J. W. (JOKEY. He then thought it would do every tiling claimed for it, and that Mr. C. had in it a fortune certainly secured. Tlie enterprise is now developing itself. Mr. 11ardusty, the Agent, has succeeded in disposing, on the best terms, of a large portion of Iowa, Illinois, and Indiana. From these sales a large profit has been realized, and the reputation of the invention extended throughout the West.

Mr. Cumberland, of the enterprising firm of Cumberland, Gregg & Co.. lias secured this and some of the surrounding 'counties, and has perfected an engagement with a well known firmin the eastern part of the State by which the demand in this legion can be supplied. Messrs. Wallace &

Wythe, of Terre-Haute, have also entered into the manufacture with a view to sup ••"-plying the central portion of Illinois. The

Agent and the Proprietors are in excellent, spirits over the prospect. Their invention is a most useful and capital machine, and ,we wish them all the fortune and success rthev deserve. ince the £*lovc was put up the proprietors have made another sale of counties, three inlllinois and three in Jowa.

The result is they are nearly a thousand •dollars ahead in the transaction. .We again say success to them.

:tjtS?~The

Temperance Convention which

i-.was held in the Court-llouso on last Saturday, was well attended and tbo right kind of ft spirit seemed to pervade the assembly. We notice by reference to our -exchanges that similar Conventions have lately been held in most of the counties in the State, and the utmost good feeling awl harmony marked the interest of the occasions. These Conventions were .mainly held to get an expression from the people on the subject of Prohibition and to appoint delegates to attend the Stale Tempa ranee Convention, which comes off tomorrow, in the city of Indianapolis.

Wo are anxious to hear the results of j'Jthe Convention, and will lay them before our readers at the earliest possible period.

Wo presumo that steps of much importance will be taken by the Convention in regard to the great question of temper-

LETTER FROM HON. JOHN MINOR 1JOTTS, OF VIRGINIA. Richmond, July 9th, 1855. Messrs. WM. S. BEEUS & Co.

Gentlemen:—Considerations of duty to the afflicted alone prompt me lo send you this voluntary testimonial to the great value of CARTER'S SPANISH MIXTURE for that almost incurable disease, Scrofula.

Without being disposed, or deeming it necessary, to go into the particulars of the ear.e, I can say that the astonishing results that have been produced by that medicine, on a member of my own family, and under my own observation and superintendence, after the skill of the best physicians had been exhausled, and all the usual remedies had failed, fully justify me in recommending its use to all who may be suffering from that dreadful malady.

I do not mean to say that it is adapted to all constitutions, or that it will afford the same relief in all cases for, of course, I can knoiv nothing about that—but from what I lut'Ve seen of the effects, I would not hesitate to use it in any and every case of Scrofula, with persons for whom 1" felt an interest, or over whom I could exorcise influence or control.

Resp'tly yours, JNO. M. BOTTS. Jan. 31, iS56—24-lm

LIVER COMPLAINT, DYSPEPSIA and PILES. PMI.ADEI.riiiA, March 1, ISOS.

Dr. C. M. Jackson—Dear Sir—For the past two years I have beon severely afflicted with the Liver Complaint, Dyspepsia, and Piles, suffering constantly the pains and inconvenience attendant upon such complaints, without energy, being scarcely able to attend to any business. I used a great deal of medicine, with no apparent change, until I used your "Iloofland's German Bitters." They have entirely cured me. I am now entirely free from pain and ache of any kind, and feel like a new man in every respect, and unhesitatingly recommend your Bitters to all invalids.

They are either prime dividend paying stocks, or good, valuable and clean investments, yiel ding moderate interests and income. The standard basis on which the Assets have been valued, being Gold at Irdcresi. Besides.this solidity, the Company calle attention to the strength and security it derives from its combined system of Agencies, thTotiglr its-agent's having the means of presenting a united phalanx of experienced Underwriters, which has worked-, for Thir-ty-seven years, the happiest results to*stockholders, and claimants for losses—-and enables it to enter the year 1850 with greater prestige for future usefulness than has yet been reached by any really National Insurance Company.

PROFESSOR WOOD'S.

ST. FAIT.. January 1, 1855.

PROF. O. J. 'WOOD—Dear Sir ^Unsolicited I send you this certificate. After beingnearly bald for a long time and having tried all the hair resthe toratives extent, and having no Ikith in any, I waa nform induced, on hearing of yours, to give it a trial. I placed myself in the hands of a barber, and had' my head well rubbed with a good brush, and the

Restorative then applied and well rubbed in' tMl the scalp was all a glow. This I repeated every morning, and in three weeks the young hair appeared, and grew rapidly from August last up ty •the present -to the touch: whereas, before it was hnrsh and wiry, what little there was ofit, and this little was disappearing rapidly.' I still us® your Restorative about twice a week, and shall soon have a good and perfect crop of hair. Now I have read of these things—and who has not?— but 1 have never seen hitherto anv case in which any persons hair was really benefitted by anv of the tonics, &c., of the day and it rcallv gives me p^asure to record the result of my experience.—• I have recommended your preparation' to others a nd it already has a large and general sale through' cut the Territory. The people have seen its effects, and have confidence in it. All who have used it here will coincide with ine in v.hat I have written. The supply you sour, us, as the wholesale agents of the Territory is alrta.lv exhausted' and daily inquiries are made for it. You deserve credit for your discovery. T, for one, return vou thanks for the benefit it has done me,, for I certainly had dispaired, long long ago, of effecting any such result. I congratulate you that vour, fortuue(and a large one) is alreadv made.
