TjkgrWe had no eattern mail last night

Cause—train capsized on the s.outffern part of the road. The amount of damage done

we did not Itain.

TIIE LOW PRICE OF GRAIN. Many and loud are the complaints now made by the farming community-in consequence of the low price of grain. They

cpmplain, but many, very many of them seldom stop to inquire the cause of the low

prices of wheat at the present time, as compared with the price it has borne for several years past. Little do they think that they have been the piime movers, the very main-spring in that system of machinery which produced the stagnation in all our business affairs. Yea, verily, the Faimers have brought down the price of

grain—not intentionally, not by the great amount of their productions, not by any systematic or combined attack upon the commercial, manufacturing, or mining in­

terests, not by wilfully encouraging extravagance in our government either State or National but they have accomplished this work by giving their influence and their votes in electing to office, and sus­

taining a class of politicians who have presented an unbroken, an eternal resistance to the mining and manufacturing interests of our country who have given far more encourngcment to English than to American manufactories, and who have advocated policies utterly at variance with the

only system which ever has or ever can subserve tho highest interests of the American people. It is an established fact in the history of our country, which no hon­

est or intelligent man will deny, that under the fostering and protecting influence of every Tariff passed in accordance with

the known policy of Clay, of Webster, and Adams, that every American interest prospered, flourished and moved on in a

healthful, vigorous, continued advancement. hat the miner pushed on his work with alacrity and snccess the manufacturer erected new buildings, emploj'cd a larger

number of artizans, increased his business, lengthened his chords and strengthened his stakes built flourishing villages and peopled them with a happy and industrious population, and was rapidly moving on to

cope with England in all the markets of the world. The Farmer found a ready and profitable sale for all tho products of his farm, and all the elements of commercial, manufactuiing, and agricultural wealth

were harmoniously blending to constitute a national greatness far transcending that of any or all the nations that now exist or have existed in times that have past.

We come then with earnest appeal to

the Farmers of our country, to ponder seliously, thoughtfully, this great question of AMERICAN PROTECTION. Without it there may be an occasional and fitful rise in our

market, but there can be no permanent, enduiing prosperity prices must ever be varying and uncertain foreign debts will rest upon us and crush our energies the precious metals must be exported for the liquidation of these debts, and though nominally free we will still maintain a kind of collonial dependence upon Great

Britain, for she will be the great workhouse from which our machinery and manufactured articles will be drawn. Let us

then in the true spirit of American fieemen protect ourselves from this foreign moneyed power, and maintain a proud and noble independence. We shall allude to this subject again.

THE KANSAS VOTE.

On Monday last, the people of Kansas were called on to vote for or against the English swindle. They were then to determine whether they are American Freemen, or the tools of a party and tyrant President. What has been the result?

We have faith to believe that they have spurned the whole thing as vile, unholy, unclean, unworthy of American patriots. We have faith to believe that the thunders

of a deep and burning indignation will ere long strike upon Mr. Buchanan's ear, that his entreaties and his threats will alike be scorned, that his usurped and tyrannical pretension will bo trampled under foot, and that a stern, scathing rebuke will be

given him not to be unheeded in times to come. We have faith to believe that the Lecompfon Constitution, the product of a set of pot-house political tools will be indignantly rejected that slavery will be excluded from tho virgin soil of Kansas,

and the rain-bow of freedom will yet arch in beauty and brightness over her.

jtSTlt will be seen by to-day's paper, that two new names liavo been added to the list of candidates for office. WILLIAM

CANINE, and CALEB CONNER, for tho Legislature. They both reside in Brown township, and are said to be most excellent men, and well qualifiod, should they meet with success, to represent us iu the State Legislature.

It will be seen that Abram Horner is also announced as a candidate for the Legislature and Frank H. Fry, as a candidate for County Treasurer.

THE NEW STORE.—This magnificent 6tock of boots & shoes, hats fe caps, and ready-made clothing, are being received and opened hourly, in the room recently occupied by Messrs. Davis & Garvin. Mr. Knox informs us that hiu stock was selected from the best the eastern cities could afford and that he is determined to

buy none other than such as ho can exhibit and sell to his customers with a good face and clear conscience. That when he sells a man or woman an article, and they go away, that he will be glad to see them return, knowing that all's well. This is the way that honest men should act and feel. We are requested to give the Ladies an cppecial invitation to call and examine hie stock of Philadelphia custommade shoes of all styles. Advertisement nest week.

Indiana State Gazetteer.

Mr. G. Uawes of Indianapolis, is now engaged in getting up a complete and thorough Business Directory of the State

of Indiana, which will contain some six hundred or a thousand pages, and is to be neatly printed, and bound in substantial style. An agent for this work was in our place a few days since for the purpose of soliciting subscribers, but of his success, we did not learn. We trust the enterprise

may meet with favor, as it will doubtless prove to bo a valuable book of reference.— It is to be issued some time during the coming fall, and will be delivered to subscribe's at the extremo low price of $2,50 per copy.

Wo have seen a similar work, published by Mr. Ilawes, of the State of Illinois, which, his agent exhibited as a specimen

of what was intended to bo gotten up for the State of Indiana. It was' neatly exeecuted, both in printing and binding and we would judge it to be an invaluable work to tho business men of that State.

FANCY PAINTING.—Mr. T. II. WINTON, of this place, a gentluman, and an old fellow typo, who has for many years past, confin­

ed himself solely to the ait of painting and who has justly gained tho notoriety throughout this section of country, for being one of tho best woikmen in his line

has we understand, secured tho finishing up—both out and in doors—of a number of largo and elegant structures in the eas­

tern part of the State. Mr. W., has a considerable amount of work already contracted for, in this community of various kinds, which he intends executing imme­

diately on his return home. The business men, and politicians of our town, will feel

the loss of Mr. Winton, tho present Summer, when they shall bo in want of fancy 5igns, banners, fce. Mr. H.'s heart is as large as a full moon, and we can assure our friends of the Press, wherever be may cast anchor, that they will find his impressions

always in register, and with just treatment from them, their banks will never bo found wanting for quoin. Wo trust his form may escape being knocked into pie, till his case of smalt caps may have all run out.— Then may his spirit frisket on high, to bclocked up in that home, where a revision of

proof will be had, and we hope, the errors ail found corrected.

Small Pox.

The Greencastle Banner hints at the existence of the small pox in that town, and attributes the disease to a circus which recently exhibited there, also at Crawfordsville, Ladoga and Bainbridge, at each place leaving traces of tho distressing malady.—Laf. Cour.

There is no truth in the report Mr. Cowrier, of their being anything of the kind in Crawfordsville bnt we have hoard it said

there was some such disease ia places on the Wabash.

For the Journal.

MR. EDITOR: Many of your readers have expressed themselves in my hearing as

pleased with your determination to stop the already long continued discussion ou the word "baptidzoThey generally feel that you have been liberal and impartial, having shown no special favor to any-one

of the disputants they also feel that the discussion was productive of no good, but was rather calculated to alienate and embitter feelings between those who should dwell together in the bonds of amity and peace. Most persons are of opinion that

the discussion was commenced at an improper time, that it was conductod, generally, in an improper spirit, that it produced bad results and of course should be

brought to a clo.- e. May I not in all sincerity and candor, ask, who has been benefitted? (Wo mean by the regular diputants.) Whose piety has been elevated

and warmed? Whoso heart has been made to glow with more heavenly zeal? Whose christian' life has been caused to burn with a purer and holier light? What nobler and more evangelic aspirations have been inspired? Where is tho young and penitent heart which these discussions have

brought in prayer and humility to bow before the cross of Him who died to redeem the lost? What christian has a clearer and belter view of the high responsibilities devolving upon him? Who, after reading the discussion, would thank God and shout for joy that ho has been permitted to

enjoy such a privilege? Alas, I fear, that no such results have followed. Bitterness has been engendered where love should ex­

ist blows have been dealt upon brethren, which should have been inflicted upon the common enemy of souls confidence has been destroyed in those who should labor

together for the great cause of truth, and righteousness and peace on earth, good will to men. And now, Mr. Editor, may

I not ask "theso Brethren to ponder and prayerfully reflect on what they have said and written, and ask themselves as if in the very presence of the Great I Am, if they have written and spoken in the spiric of their Master Jesus Christ if th\v were animated with that pure and holy mind with which the Prophets and Apostles penned their messages of love to rebellious man. If they have not, then let them acknowledge their error, forgive as they would be forgiven, and henceforward live in peace and christian fellowship, so that the world may 6ay, hehold how these Brethren love one another.

For the Indiana Journal.-

The Murder at Col lux. COLFAX, IND., July 27, 1S58.

Mn. EDITOR—Inasmuch as our town has obtained, and not without cause, a rather hard name, the citizens of tho place wish to address a line to the public, through the medium of your paper, touching tho causes of the character of said place.

It is a fixed principle in philosophy, that "if causes are removed cffccts will cease." It is believed that the principle causes of our opprobrium is now effectually removed, beyond the possibility of return.

It will be recollectcd that Sam Dukes was sent tf* tho Penitentiary, from this place, some two or three years^ since, for robbing the mail. But, this being a good hearted, sympathizing people, and learning too that he was sick, petitioned for and obtained for him a pardon. But, alas! little did they know that they were receiving again a viper into their bosom, to lead on his diminutive, contemptible band of lesser satelites in the paths of folly aud crime, and himself to follow the fiendish business of selling strychnine whiskey to every diunken character who chose to buy to continue most, if not all, his originally contemptible practices, and finally to shoot down and deliberately murder one of the best citizens of the place.

We have not space to refor to the various incidents which have had a tendeny to blacken the name of our place. Suffice it to say, they all. seem to have been begotten by tho same villain, to have had a common father, aud to have been perpetrated either directly by. his hand, or the hand of a sub demon. The last act, however, that he did or ever will do here, which took place on Wednesday morning 21st inst., we will refer to more particularly.

Recently, Dukes has been in the habit of occasionally bringing a barrel of whisky to this place and retailing the same at his own dwelling house. This he has done in defiance of the wishes and entreaties of all tho better and more intelligent class of society. Nay more, ho has repeatedly threatened to blow the brains out of any man who would in any way molest him. And in confirmation of his purposes he procured double barrel shot guns and revolvers or pistols, and kept them, heavily loaded, about his dwelling house and person.

On last Tuesday morning Dukes received a fresh supply of whisky. The citizens now very naturally and very justly concluded that his conduct was no longer sufferable... Consequently, tho following night about 2 o'clock A. M., some person or persons unknown to the public, entered his house, knocked in the head of his barrel, aud spilled the whisky. Dukes, upon hearing the noise, true to his instincts, seized "his gun, and from a front windownext tho main street says he saw an object near the front side of the house, at which he shot. This object was a merchant of otir place, one of the best and most civil young men in the place, of the name of John Gilkeson White, son of our worthy citizen William Y. White, Esq. After receiving his mortal wound Mr. White went immediately, and probably alone to his store, a distance of about twelve rods, and without assistance went up stairs to his sleeping room and called upon his partner in business to procure a light, stating at the same time that he had been shot by Sam Dukes, and he believed fatally wounded. Medical aid was at once called, when it was discovered that he had received about seventy-five shot in the abdomen and lower portion of the bowels. In consequence of the intensity of his suffering and his groat prostration, it was thought that it would be imprudent to make a very close examination as to the extent of tho wounds inflicted until a reaction could be gotten up. This, however, was never accomplished. lie continued to sink, and about noon that day breathed his last. A free use of stimulants and auodynes to some extent affected his mind. This fact, added to his great prostration, prevented any questions being asked him relative to the cause of this deplorable circumstance. It is not known whether on hearing tho operations of others he approached the dwclling of D11I ces to see what he could discover,°or whether he was engaged with others in the very laudablo enterprise of pouring out this liquid tire and distilled damnation. Nor is tho object he had in view of any consequence in this communication. Wc have no wish to refer io anything but conceded facts, or in any way to attempt to forestall public opinion prior to Dukes' final trial in the case at which time we pray God that bo may receive that strict justice at the hands of tho law which the enormity of his crime demands.

During tho day of Mr. White's death, Dukes and his few contemptible friends were very jubilant. They claimed that he had committee a lawful and praiseworthy act. Dukes swore tho same day that there were two or three others in town whom he intended to kill. He shot off two guns or pistols from his dwelling house in town about the time that Mr. White was dying. Had Dukes' counsellors been in possession of sufficient common sense to have known the nature of his fiendish act, ho would doubtless have fled. But the devil is often disappointed in his expectations. The next day Dukes was taken by an officer to Frankfort, the connty seat of Clinton, passed through a preliminary examination before a Justice, was recognized to bail in the sum of four thousand dollars, and, not being able to fill the bail bond, was lodged in jail to await his tiial at the fall term of Court. During the preliminary examination the excited crowd wore only restrained from administering summary justice upon the prisoner by an abiding confidence that the law would be properly administered in his case.

But after Dukes shall have received justice, tho wounds which his bloody hands have inflicted will not be healed. Mr. White was about twenty-two years of age —finished his education a year or two since in Wabash College, at Crawfordsville— had probably as few enemies as any individual of energy and, on the other hand, ho had manj, very many affectionate and ardent admirers—in a word, tho deference and regard

which wore

entertained for him

were co-extensive with his acquaintance. Thus is this community called to mourn a great loss for such it is, such it is felt to be. One has fallen in our midst by the hands of an assassin—one whom we loved, and one whose place it would be impossible to supply. Thus are the fondest hopes of a father for comfort, solace and sure support in declining years, stricken down, 'lhusi

is an affectionate mother, bereaved and rendered disconsolate, aye filled unutterably full of sorrow and sympathizing sisters forever deprived of the care, counsel, advice and protection of a special favorite, a dear brother.

A Letter from Mr. Buchanan. The New Albany Tiibune publishes the following letter from Mr. Buchanan to Bill English received by the latter a few days prior to the Congressional Convention in his- District, and doubtless used by him to facilitate his nomination:

Hon. Wm, II. EvgJUU,

WASHINGTON, July 25, 1858.

DEAR SIR.—Aware that the convention for nominating a Democratic candidate for Congress in your District, will convene in a few days, I cannot refrain from expressing tho hopo that you may be the unanimous nominee of tho convention. If I lived in your District and had a thousand votes yon should have them all. Occupying the position you do I consider it essential that you should succeed in obtaining the nomination. A failure in this

0

my Administration. There may I some aspirant or aspirants for the position in your way. If so yon may say to them that by giving you a clear track they will gain my favor and may expect to be provided for in a suitable manner. If nominated I will throw as much assistance into your district as you may desire.

Our 1 iend Hughes, I see, has a hard row to hoe. He will be liberally sustained. Of this you may rest assured.

Your friend, JAMES BUCHANAN.

We are "fallen on evil days" indeed when a President of the United States consents to append his name to such a missive' as the foregoing. It is nothing but a corrupt inducement held out to certain parties to cease their opposition to his private wishes, and as such deserves to be branded with universal scorn. Its effect in this instance was decisive. When the day of the Convention arrived both the opposing candidates withdrew and English received a unanimous nominatiou, when everybody had regarded his defeat as inevitable! It remains to be seen in what sort of "suitable manner" Messrs. Cravens and Sherrod will be "provided for" out of the Presidential bounty and also whether the "liberal sustenance" that Hughes is to receive from the same source will enable him to secure his re-election, in spite of the formidable odds now arrayed against him.— Laf. Journa'.

ARRIVED.

NEW YORK July 31.—Tho steamship Granada airived last evening from San Juan, Nicaragua, which brought Greytown dates of July 20th.

Among her passegers is Maximo Jarez, who comes to relieve Senor Yrissari as Minister to Washington.

Senor Jarez brings tho Cass-Yrissari treuty as modified and ratified by Nicaagua. It is said that ho possesses extraordinary powers to make a covention acceptable to our government. He is also to complete the transit route negotiations with Commodore Yanderbilt.

Nicaragua is excited by rumors of another invasion by Cou. Walker. Gen. Martinez, after depositing the Presidency in the hands of tho Vice President, had hurried to Castillo to put that place in a state of defense.

SCOTT TOWNSHIF, MONTGOMERY CO., IND., July 18, 1858. MR. EDITOR: Believing the following would prove interesting to the cattle rai­

sers of the county, I hereunto annex the weight and gain of the blooded Bull, Cornelius, belonging to me. Ilis weight, as given by the scales, under the management of Wm. Powers, of Ladoga, on tho 7t'h of May last, was 1230 lbs he was again weighed by II. J. Webster, of same place, on the 15th of the present month, and it was

found to be 1486 lbs., showing an increase of 256 lbs. in two months and eight days or over 3J lbs. per day. At the time he was last weighed ho was two years old to a day. He has had no extra keeping—

running only on tolerably good clover pasture, and nothing more. Yours, GEO. HECKATIIORN.

Health for the Sick.

Dr. Roback's SCANDINAVIAN REMEDIES

are creating a revolution in Medical practice. They act directly upon the circulation. Disease originates in the blood, and these medicines purge it .out.

SPECIAL NOTICES.

[From the New York DAY BOOK.] HAIR DYE IS VILE WASH, but the article that will naturally restore the color of the hair, the changing of which to gray, being an indication of alack of proper secretion, is truly a valuable medicine. PROF. WOOD'S HAIR TONIC,if the certificates of the leading minds over the Union do not falsify, is the only safe remedy for baldness, dryness, premature change of color, and the several evidences of a lack of secretions at the roots of the hair, which can be found. Quack preparations abound,and "hair tonics'' fill every "corncr grocery" in the country. Avoid all "hair tonics" unless known to be the preparation of some man whose celebrity has become world-wide.— Do not let any nostrum vender experiment upon youi- hair. Touch nothing you have not good reason to believe is all that it purports to be. Prof. Wood has earned by years of severe test of the virtues of his preparation, his present fame.— Over 150 certificates are befor

TIIE SKIN

Is formed with thousands of pores in every inch of surface whose office it is to carry off the impurities of the blood—the acknowledged cause of all diseases of mankind—when the skin is dry and parched—when it is covered with eiuptions —when it is cold clammy—when there is in ward fever or inflammation—it is impossible for the skin under these circcumstanes to perform its proper functions and to carry of the impurities from the body as designed by our Creator.

Morse's Indian Root Pills remove these obstructions, and produce free and healthy blood, remove the eruptions from the skin, and cause it to brighten with the flush of youth and beauty.
