THE VOW.

Beneath an oak whose roots the waters lave, Of Mucreek'splacid breast the turbid wave, A youth of every manly grace possessed, A lonely maiden to his bosom pressed.

Her raven curls hung loosely o'er her chest, And deep emotion heaved her lovely breast, As thus she sx^oke: "My love, my dearest Joe, Why will you to that 'bleedii'ig Kansas' go!"

"Say wilt thou e'er return to bless thy Jane, Safe from tlie Bolder Kulfian and Jim Lane?"' To which the youth to culm her anxious mind, And prove her fears as idle as the wind

"Butting the Bull off the Bridge." The popular legend of the fellow who "butted a bull off a bridge" has been happily illustrated by Mr. Buchanan*- Kansas has been hia bull, and after most preserving attempts to butt it off the Free State bridge, he finds himself in the water and the bull just where he found it. The sturdy old beast stands fast, and the adventurous assailant is knocked backwards bv the force of his own blown into the middle of the next century. Mr. Pierce met the same fate in a similar effort. Two Democratic administrations have knocked their brains out in the effort "to butt the bull off the bridge." Will the lesson be heeded? We fear not. Thu Washington news hints very strongly that our venerable Failure. who,#t present is languishing in the Presidential chairu.means to take another run and jump at the bull, in recommendation to adhere to tho English exclusion policy, and give slavery one more chan.ce, Puch as it is, to regain its lost footing in the territory. As the old gentleman has pretty much demolished his he.id in the former encounter, we presrmo he means to keep on consistently knocking off chunks of himself, like "untie John's ram," who butted himself all away at the swinging log put up for bis benefit, and was found a day afterwards with his tail still tilting ferociously with the demolishes till there is nothing left, of him. About, one more slap at the immovable animal will finish him, and if it don't, the new Democratic Doctrine of "Congressional protection of slavery in the territories" will be sure to effect it.-—Ind. Juurnal. 1

PUNCTUALITY.—This is one of the most beautiful traits in one's character, and not only adds to a person's estimation in the minus oi others, but is ever a scouice of great advantage.to the one possessing it. Those unaccustomed to be 'punctual, and to perform their duties wi:h promptness are: forever in llio drag. By their tardiness at the commencement of the day, they are just so much behind all during it, which taken in connection with the accumulation of losses from the force of the habit rlniing the day, results, at the close of it, in the loss of much precious time and if continued through life, in the Irustintjng of many plans, the blighting of mafiy fond hopes, and too frequently, is a clog to the progIess of. many who are dependent upon the exertions and instructions of these tardv ones, for means and ability and oceasion to perform promptly the duties of life. It is particularly desireable and essential that the young who are now .forming habits for life, should cultivate Punctuality, as one of the noblset and most promotive traits of character, and one of the first among the graces will adorn a woll ordcred life.

A Hosier Prize Fight on the Tapis The pcrnicious influence of the late prize fight between MorrisSjy and the BdniciaBoy is traceable all over the country —in pugilistic encounters among tho "fancy" Muscle everywhere commands a premium. But the other clay we noticed that a qniet New-England village, of puritanic fame, had been thrown entirely out of its propriety by a veritable' prize fight between a couple of amateur bruisers, one of whom was the prodigal son of an elder in the church. Lafayette and Indianapolis, it seems, are not exempt from the universal epidemic, and a regular prize .fight is on the tapis between a couple of their respective citizens. Gus Roller, of Indianapolis, and John Trimmer, of Lafayette, are the parties. A feud has existed between them for some time, and they have had one or two slung-shot, plug-ugly encounters, but have never been able to decide the mooted question as to which is the better man. Roller was worsted in the last encounter, and nursing his wrath to keep it warm, broke out the other day in the following challenge:

INDIANAPOLIS, NOV. 16, 1858.

I hereby challenge John Trimmer to a fair stand up, or a rough and tumble contest—as lie may seo fit, for from §50 to 8100 a hide the same to come off at Lafayette or Indianapolis, as may be agreed

Any communication addressed to meet with prompt

me* at.^diana-polis.

AUGUSTUS ROLLER.

We can promise these worthies that, if the above fight comes off at Lafayette, or in this vicinity, Sheriff Chissom or Marshall Evans will be likely to participate.

We notice in this connection, that Henry II. Hazard and John Clifford, convicted as principles in a prize fight, at New York the other day, weie ccn'enced—the first name!, to pay a fine of $50, and costs, and the latter to tho States prison for seven months.

John Trimmer publishes a note in th^ Journal of this morning, in rpplv to the Gus Roller challenge, in which he indicates his acceptance as follows:

LAFAYETTE. Nov. 10, 1S58.

Mr. Avguslus Holler: SIR:—Seeing your challenge in the Courier of this evening, dated Nov. 16th, Indiatiapolis, I take pleasure in answering it, I. hope satis!actoiily. I will fight you for 8100—to take place in three weeks from the time the first forfeit is put up. The place to be appointed by our respective friends. With respect,

JOHN TRIMMER.

Trimmer goes into training at once, and his friends speak confidently of his ability to "clean out" his opponent in a halt dozen rounds. Roller on the other hand is not without his backer, and if the "mill" comes off, a considerable amount of money will be staked on the result.

We earnestly hope that both will be in such excellent condition, as to be able to knock ea'h other blind on the first round, and dislocate their respective necks in the second.—Lafayette Courier.

FROM WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, NOV. 18.—The States learns from a friend who is almost direct from the court of Madrid, and whose fine attainments and high social position enabled him to approach the highest personages of the Spanish court, that France has taken up the subject of Cuban Independence, and, with England, is preparing to erect Cuba and Porto Rico into a siitniindepentent Monarch, with the condition of the payment of a rental is to represent the inlerest on a national debt io be assumed by the new monarchy in consideration of its independence. The debt rental is to be assured by France and England against tho annexation of Cuba to the United States.

The Collector of Customs at Mobile ha by this time received a letter from the Secretary of the Tieasury against granting a clearance to the Alice Painter, tor Greytown. The objection rests mainly on the ground that the expedition now proposed assimilates to that of November, 1858, when the steamer Fashion escaped by the mean* of false papers at the Mobile Custom Iiouse—tho same Collector having then been deceived. Subsequent events weie inconsistent with Mr. Walker's representations made at that time.

It is not intended to interfere with peaceful emigration to Nicaragua, or to any other country. But Nicaragua is entitled to repose in tho confident belief that the United States will maintain relations of peace and amity with her Government and people. -.

The commeicial agent at Hakodadv, Japan, reports that an abundance of excellent. coal can be had at six dollars per ton of two thousand pounds.

There is authority to for saying that the Secretary of the Territory has not intimated to any person what lecommendations he will make to Congress with regard to the revenue.,

Mr. Heffren desired Anthony to explain what he meant by the additional language he had attached to Wallace's'original resolution. In reply Mr. Anthony said it embraced whatever tho Seoato .tsaw fit fo act on.

Following the explanation, Mr. W'allacf "went off" in one of his usud efforts a: "defining his position" in referpn-'-e to wji.it he WHS in favor of the

Mr. Wallace wanted to kfiow^'why the Senator from Parke was so excited? Had the action of the Republican caucus of the night previous inaugurated thestorm-whieh was now visible? i:

Gen. Steel replied that th^ storm was set in motion by the Senator iiom Washington, aided by the Senator from Montgomery, by refusing to lay Heffren's resolution on the table, and he was as well prepared to meet it then as at any tirno afterwards.

Mr. Wallace interrupting General Steele remarked: Will the Senator answer me candidly if the Republican caucus last night did not agree to go into the election of United States Senators? Steele replied that he would answer the Senator's question if he would first answer him one:— Did ha (Wallace) believo that Indiana now had two United States Senators legally and constitutionally elacted?

To this Wallace made no reply, but remarked that he had understood Col. Lane had been agreed upon as one of the candidates for the Senate.

Mr. Cravens said ho was in favor of Colonel Lane for the Senate, and thought he expressed the wish of the, great body of the Republicans of Indiana.

Sir. Jones said throats had been made, hut he was not to be intimidated by them. Ho held himself responsible for his action, and was not afraid to meet his constituents when he should go home. So far as he was concerned he was ready to meet the quesiion of the election of United States Senators now or at any future time. He was ready to go into an election at any day.

The discussion was anything but gratifying to the Lenomptonites of (he Senate. They have found that there is a power they cannot control, and they feel badly over it.

The most amusing part of the proceedings was tho corner that Gen. Steele put Wallaco into. When the latter gentleman refused to answer the former's question. Gen. S. remaiked that Wallace, whin in his political devotions, did not know whether to turn his 3iitie black eves toward Chicago, or send his prayer in th" direction of the Great Alligator at Washington. This remark "brought down the house," and the loud laughing outside the bar "brought down" the President's hammer to "dry it up."—Ind. Journal.

DemocraSic "Gains."

Tho Cincinnati Enquirer publishes a table by which it shows that the Democracy have gained heavily on the popular vote in the recent elections, and the Boston Post speaks "of the splcnded gains of the Democrats in Ohio," and thinks the result may well cause shouts of triumph from the party everywhere." The Louisville Journal compares one of these journals to a prisoner before the police court at Marietta, Ohio, who said he was always contended and jolly. "I laughed," said be, "when my father turned me out doors at 11 years old,—laughed when I broke my arm, and made funny faces at the doctor while lie wasnetting it. The happiest day ever I spent was one time when I hadn't but one shirt and a pair of pants to put on, and had spent all the money I had, and gone hungry for forty hours. I never was really unhappy but once in my life, and that was when 1 fell down stairs, fractured my collerbone, and skinned my leg badly that

THE SENATE—'A-'iSFICY TIME* In the Senate on Monday Mr. Heffren of Washington introduced-a series of political resolutions in which the' word' Black was prefixed to the word Republican wherever it occurred. The resolutions were: thrown in as a firebrand, undoubtedly, and with a view to drive into, or entirely outside of, the Democratic ranks those Democratic Senators who have seen fit to act independently since the organization of the Legilature. Yesterday Mr. Wallace of Montgomery called up a resolution, introduced by hiin on Monday, which was intended as a substitute for Pleffren's defining the extent of the business which the. Senate would transact at its present session. Anthony of Floyd o-ffered-an ampnd:menl embracing all the action propose.] in Wallace's resolution (revenue, ^aud" appraisement laws) but going farther and including whatever the Senate uii^ht deem necessary

but was not very explicit in his definitions. G«'n. Steele, of Parke, having obtained the floor gave Heffien an overhauling'for introducing his resolutions and causing the storm which was now rising in the Sen ate. Those resolutions characterized himself and large number of his associates on the floor of the Senate Chamber as Black Republicans. So far as the application of opprobrious, epithets extended, he would hurl the word Black back at the Senator from Washington. The Senator who introduced those resolutions, and the Senator from Montgomery who voted against laying them on the table, He would u.ake define their position clearly, and show to the people whether they belonged to the Black or the White Democracy.— He held himself responsible for what, he said, and no opprobrious terms or epithets should ba applied to him by members on the floor. He would huil thein back at their authors und throw scorn ia the faces of thoe who applied the in.

HORIUD MURDER.—We learn that on the 13th inst., a most heartless butchery was perpetrated, near Steam port, in Henderson county, Ky. The facts as we have learned them, are about these: Two men, one named James Wilson and tho other James Harmon, got into a dispute relative to some work which they were doing at a steam mill in which they were employed. They then separated, and Harmon went to the house of a friend, He had not been there a great while, when Wilson made his appearance at the house and enquired for Harmon. Harmon met him at a door where some words ensued, whernpon Wilson grasped him by the hair, and drawing a knife plunged it in his throat, running it a downward course, up to the hilt. Of course, Harmon expired immediately. Wo learn that this is the third man Wilson has killed. He was arrested in McLeau county, and on Tuesday last was brought to Henderson and lodged in jail. —Eoansville Jourhal.

The Peach Tree Uorer.

xVs this is by far the greatest enerriy the tree and its cnlturists have tocontend with, a timely suggestion to those who would check-mate this mischievous insect, may not be out of place.

The female moth or miller deposits her rr

eggs during most of the summer, on the tree just at the surface of the ground, where they are soon hatched into life, and by a common instinct, enter the tender bark, working their way downwards, and feed on the inner sap bark of the roots, continuing this operation until the root is completely encircled, and all communication between the lower roots and the top cut off. In this condition, of course, the tree must die. Through the summer, while the tree is in growth it makes continued efforts to overcome and throw off this injury but nut so in the winter, when it is in the dormant stato. Still the worm lives and feeds on its vitals. In tho spring the tree makes a feeble effort to livp, but soon yields to tho deadly wounds inflicted, and dies. It is then charged to tho winter and our hard climate.

The worm is now easily destroyed. All that is necessary is to clear away a few inches deep of the caith about the crown of the roots then with a common pocket knit'c, probe the bark and when a hollow appears, cut it clean to the solid wood with the worm. Then apply a compost of soft soap, cow droppings and clav draw back tho earth, and with some litter thrown over the ground to protect the "lacerated roots from the severe winter frost, the work is done. If your trees do not give yon in iic sati.-faction in the future than the labor has ,-ost you, say that I linow nothing about the matter. But do not put it oif until Spring, for the worms to fatten on your tree and then produce a good crop of moths to renew tho work of destruction dining the summer.

A MOST EXCELLENT THING IN WOMAN.—

There is one part of a woman's education often forgotten or neglected—the culture and formation of a gentle voice. It is a great gift of nature, to be aided by culture—an instrument of powerful influence for good. I speak not of singing hymns now, and the culture of harmony and musical purposes, though these tend to God's praise, or to give innocent amusement but this gentle voice will be able to guide and persuade to good the manly trial, and speak of hope and joy to her dearest friends and connections in accents at once powerful and pleasing. Let us then be carfull in our schools to cultivate this most valuable acquirement. How different, in all respects, to a family, for friends and neighbors, are the kind, gentle, persuasive accents I have described, from sounds we sometimes (alas! too often) hear in the close abodes of poverty and trial—high,

WASHINGTON*, NOV. 22.-—The States has a special dispatch from Mobile, dated the 20th, stating that several persons who had been engaged in inducing emigration to Central America have been examined as witnesses by the.

Arrest of Four Persons—Threatened Lynch Law

[From the Louisville Courier of Saturday.] We understand that for several days past, the most intense excitement has provailed in Larue county, in consequence of the confession of a startling tragody.— John, a slave, the property of Berry Cundiff, who was arrested about one year since, charged with the murder of Miss Mary Shaler, has confessed his participation in the crime and implicates severalother persons.

This Miss Shaler was originally a resident of Bardstown, but at tlie time of the murder was temporarily living in Larue comity, with Mrs. Murphy. The negro has been twice tried, but each time the juries failed to agree.

speak and vote for the third district of Maine than Ezra B. French, Republican, who has received the certificate of election, Francis P. Blair, Jr., Republican, has announced that he stands ready to prove that his opponent, J. R. Barrett, Democrat, in the first district of Missouri, was elected by fraud, and on that ground lie will claim the seat.

New York.

Returns from every county of New York show a majority for Morgan of 18,643.— In four counties tho majorities only are reported. Tho aggregates are as follows:— Republican 235,657 Democratic 217,014, American 57,811. In 45 counties, Gerrit Smith's vote amounts to 4,585. During tho canvass, Gerrit expressed a fear that Morgan would draw of votes enough to prevent his (Gerrit's) election. For once he seems to have been a true prophet. Xew Albany Tribune.

MORE SHIN-PLASTERS.—The Indianapolis Journal, no'tices the following fraudulent issue:

Another shinplaster bank issue has made its nppearanco. Parties in New York, by agents in Indiana, are engaged in circulating bills purporting to be on the! "Exceange Bank of Hartford," which has no legal existance in the State. It is calculated to deceive those who take it for the "Exchage Bnnk" of Hartford. Conn, There is a little town named Hartford, on the Wabash river, and there is a Hardiord, city in Blackford connty, but the citizens of neither place know nothing of the location of such a bank among them. A large amount of the money has, we understand, been paid out in the Western part of the State and Eastern Illinois. ,, ..-.

An Extraordinary Case.

A rather extraordinary case turned up in London, C. W., on Thursday last.— Some years ago a respectable widow woman, with a daughter sixteen years'of ago, emigrated from England to Australia.— At Melbourne tho mother was 'wooed' and won by a man who bore a good character in the community but not long after their marriage the wife found out that she was wedded to a cohvict who had obtained a ticket of leave. Time rolled on, however, she of course concealing her husband's disgrace, fortnne favored them, and desiring to return to England, they sold their property realizing about £40,000. They returned to the old country, but the husband conceived a passion for another woman, induced her to accompany him to London, C. W., and left his wife almost destitute. Ho purchased one of the best farms in Middlesex and appears to have made up his mind to spend tho rest of his days as easily as possible. Unfortunately for him, however, his wife ascertaining

him. He says that four persons were connocted with him in the affair, -he being a mere fool, and ieceiving two hundred dollars .—- The persons charged are Mrs. Mu' pby, her •daughter, age-l sixteen years, James McGavock and Wm. Pickrell. These parties were all immediately arrested. Great excitement existed throughout th®community, and so exasperated were the citizens that it was with ranch difficulty the.officers could prevent the crowd from lynching the accused. In fact, Pickrell was at one time swnng'up.

The circumstances that led to the murder are said to be owing to the fact that Miss Shaler was supposed to have a considerable sum of money. It is generally believed, however, that the tine cause was that Pickrell's brother was about to marry tho unfortunate young woman, concerning whose virtue there w^re seriouA reports.— His brother and McGavock, a brother-in-law, had her murdered to prevent tho ma riage.
