"x 11 ij iiAG LE. H.’l. PHILLIPS, Editor. DECATUR, INDIA#/. FRIDAY MORNING, FEB. 13, 1557. HA I.UTA TORY. In presenting ourselves to the citizens of Adams County, Indiana, common custom dictates that we should introduce to ouJyeaders/Uic motives, the inducements and the policy of The Decatur Eagle.— On the first of these propositions we| merely say, it is to make a living, and add to the intellectual character of our citizens a higher tone in the literary cir- . clc, by disseminating weekly to our patrons, such reading matter as will not only i please and cultivate the mind, but will cheer and enliven the heart. As to the inducements which prompted i our course, the great want of a family newspaper to properly reflect the great interests of Adams eQ.u&ty, as to the fcrt.llity of her soil, her pnfximßy to market,' and her healthy situation as to climate and disease; as well ar to diffuse weekly to each and every citizen, the news of the I day, the stirring events in the political, as well, as in the moral and physical [ world. In delineating our policy, we shall at all times invite the most scrutinizing criticism as to the truth of our productions, cither : political or civil. In politics, we shall, always boldly, yet mildly, advocate the [ democratic policy, but with due deference 1 to the honest opinions of our opponents. The great measures of the democratic party since we have had a right to exercise the elective franchise, has met our approbation; and we sincerely believe it is the true doctrine of a cod federative government. Miscellaneous literature, agricultural, commercial, mechanical, domestic a d foreign news, and the doings of Congress, and of our State Legislature, will be, while in session, duly laid before our readers. Under these pledges on our part, will you, citizens of tins and adjoining counties, sustain us‘? Though young in years but old in the art typographic, we shall me every effort to make our sheet accept ible, and if you give us your support, you shall never be ashamed to own, and everywhere acknowledge, that you pat-

Con- ' interest was manifested during the session.

A tremedous flood occurred last night, ' causino damage which it is estimated will ! not sass short of two millions of dollars. The city during the night was a scene of the utmost confusion both from tire j and water, and. laborers were working all night removing goods from stores in the : lower part of the city, to the second sto- ‘ ties where it was thought, they would be ! safe, but at 11 o’clock the river began[ rising rapidly and the workmen were obliged to desist for their own safety. I The water continued rising till 4 o’i clock'this morning, when it reached the . hi ghest point, three feet higher than ev- i 1 cr°bMbre, flooding the whole lower por-1 I lion of the city as high up as Green street The lower parts of Herkimer and Hudson, parallel streets, are submerged, to the second story, and Broadway is flooded from the exchange to the Lelewaie House.

A Heroic Woman —A correspondent I furnishes us a fact in regard to the noble , conduct of a woman, that deserves hon- . orable mention. The clipper ship Neptune’s Car, Captain Jacob Patten, sailed from New-York fbT San FratnflWb about the 29th of July last. 'The captain, on the passage, was attacked with brain fever and subsequent blindless; the chief mate having been deposed from duty previous i to the captain’s illness, and the second mate being incompetent to navigate the vessel, the captain’s wife, who happened providentially to be on board, and who ■ bad been taught navigation by her husband, took charge of the ship, and brought; it safely into port. — Boston Transcript.

, i ,n n.- | , CONGRESSIONAI. ! I Washington, Feb. 9.- —Senatv —Mr. i] Bright presented the credentials df Gra- i ham N. Fitch, setting forth that he was [ 1 elected Senator by the of In- ] diana, and moved that the oath betid min- i istered to him. 1 , . ‘ Mi. Trumbull said he nad placed in i ' Lis hands by a special messerger from that State, the protest of the Sen**/, gainst I the le’-ality of the election, and .also a protest signed by thirty-four metnbers, _ of thTHousc of Representatives ofJttdiana to the same effect. Mr. Bright said it was not necessary to read the protest, and he believed his colleague, according to precedent,'.was en-1 titled to be sworn in. . j The protests were read. Mr Trumbull objected to admin', dering the oath. - tj Mr. Douglas thought it best ■*>, Mr. ; Fitch be sworn in, and the Ser» t nvesi- j gats the legality of tho election ay’ wards j us had been the custom heretofok Mr. Trumbull replied that i had - been both ways, and cited cases ‘‘here i ike admimstration of the oath I v . «*••' -as-we-.’H i'C “ X sed and decided. He thougrs.'i *->-‘lO additional light could be shed on this , matter, as ail the facts are known. Trumbull took it for granted that no gentleman deserved to occupy asea-.m the iSenate for a moment unless he was legally entitled to it. It would be wrong for any one thus to occupy a seat for a single day if the case I is of such a character that the Senate can decide upon it immediately. The present case could be easily understood, and justice required its immediate decision, [ for it was only from the necessity of the ! case that a different rule had ever prevailed. The committee on Judiciary have recently investigated and reported upon a case. involving the same principles which are involved in the present case. They decided that Mr. Harlan was not entitled to a seat because be had not been elected by a quorum of each branch of the Legislature of his State, and the Senate had discussed the matter fully and sustained the committee.. Jlow then, could there be a doubt in the present case, when a similar state of things is presented? Mr. Toombs thought there was but one question before the Senate, and that was on the sufficiency of the credentials. The Senator from Illinois, (Mr. T.) had advanced from behind the credentials, and therefore had no pertinency to the present question. He contended that the universal rule of the Senate bad been, that where credentials are in proper form upon that prima tacia evidence the claimant took his seat. He urged that the oath, ought to be administered in-the present case. Mr. Seward, said it would he ’ytter, in

all canes of contested election#." A. A 'vp.e investigations be made immediately upon the presentation of the claims', and Lhe seat remain.vacant until the claimant’s title is established. The precedent cases stood in this,way: In the early history

of the senate, the claimant was denied ai j seat, which was held in abeyance until the investigation was made and a decision | ] pronounced, and then he was admitted or ■ ( rejected definitely or finally; but durring ' . the latter history of the government a dip ( fereut practice had prevailed, He contended that the case did not fall within the rule and precedent which were . claimed to have been settled by the Senate, and that the credentials did not pre- , sent such prima-facia evidence qf title as J to entitle the gentleman to a seat. . Mr. Pugh argued that if the credentials of Mr. Filch were in proper form he was entitled to be sworn in and hold his seat: until his right was contested. Seward showed ibe case of Archibald | Dixon, whose claim to a seat as Senator from Kentucky, was debated fourteen days before he was allowed to taka the oath. After further debate the Senate, by a vote of 33 to 12, refused to refer the ere- I dcntials and protests to the Judiciary committee, and Mr. Fitch took the oath. Adjourned. House —The House passed, by a vote of 119 against 93, Mr. Chapman’s bill for a wagon road to the P-ncific. The pending question was stated to be on the motion of Mr. Barbour to suspend the rules to enable him to introduce a resolution from the Judiciary committee, i declaring that John C. Watrous, U. S. \ District Judge for the district of Tefcas, b impeached of high crimes, and'vi-de-meanors. Mr. Letcher said these were serious charges, and demanded that the report of I the committee on the case be read. , lhe report says that specific cnaiges ; are made against John C. Watrous of corrupt combinations for the determination lof suits in this Court, aud with having acted with partiality, and in disregard of j law and of the rights of litigants. ( Mr. Eocock wished to know whether •Judge Watrous ever had an opportunity lo defend Umsell. I Mr. Humphrey Marshall, member of I the Judiciary committee, thought the ini vestigation ougiit net to proceed without notice to the accused party. Mr. Evans said J.uJge Wat ous had 'been Judge ever, since the admission of i Texas. As soon afie r his appoint ment suspicions regarding his integrity took place in the public mind, and no party in Texas except a few persons who are engaged in litigation, pretend to defend him it was due to the purity of the courts ana the administration of justice, that J.ilge j Watrous b; pi‘ on tri il, in ■>; ler ’hat he

It was a moc-■ kery for a district Judge, in whom the ( public have no confidence, to be continued in office against the remonstrance of the le- t gislature of Texas, the bar and the people! sustained by ample testimony. ~ ‘Ohio rroper’-The state of The Reserve. .

About eighteen months ago they strnck a vein of auriferous.quartz. A wagon load of it was dug up, crushed and found to yield one hundred dollars to the ton. They then carried several loads of it to the Gold Hill mill' which yielded one hundred and fifty dollars to the ton, and sixty-two tons of the rock produced as high as three hundred dollars per ton. The company then went to work to erect a quartz mill, which was completed on the first of October last, at a cost of 640,000. Meanwhile some seven hundred tons more were gotten out which yielded all the way from two hundred and fifty to five hundred dollars per i ton. I The lead is fron one to four feet in i thickness, and increases in width as explorations are made. The cost of crushing the lock is twelve dollars and fifty cents, ! and the average amount crushed twenty i j tons per day. The regular yield of am- j algum of this mill is now not less than j i thirty thousand dollars per week; and as | the total expenses of running it will not • exceed fifteen hundred dollars for the I same length ot time, it is easy to see what I a princely fortune is rolling in upon the fortunate owners of this gold mine. A por- • t.ion only of their earnings is brought down to the mint for coinage, but, as the subjoined figures show, that ‘institution’ can bear unequivocal testimony of the richi ness of their claim. On the Bth of November there were deposited nine hundred and twenty-two I ounces on the 27th one thousand one hun- . dred and ninety-three ounces, and siltyI four hundredths of an ounce. The original holders of this magnificent claim re- ■ tain possession of it, and, as might be expected, are totally averse to disposing of shares.

From the Steuben Farmer’s Advocate, ‘.’Sth. Terrible Calamity-Turpentine Explosion -A WhOlc Family Burned. I A shocking calamity occurred at the house of the Rev. E. H.

By some means fire was communicated to the inflammable mixture, and while Mr. H. was endeavoiino* to convey it out of doofs, an explosion took place, scattering the burning lima over the persons of himself, his wife and three children, who were in the room, and sitting fire to the building. , Mr. Charles Brundage a near neighbor who was engaged in work not far from the house, hearing cries of distress, went to ascertain the cause. Ihe scene aa described bv him must be truly hcartrend>Gng. On gaining entrance to the house. ’Tlie LA , .s. jta'eus >jhiu upon the • floor with every particle of cloihi'ng burned oft. Mr. Havens was partly sitting jin a corner and calling for assistance, j The oldest daughter, aged fifteen, threw herself on a bed in an adjoining room and smothered the flames, thereby saving her life. She is badly burned, but will probably recover. Another daughter aged ' two years, and a son aged five were also ' king upon the floor with their clothing - almost burned off. ; The force of the explosion was so great as.to shatter every window in the house.

They were carefully placed in the < sleigh of Mr. Burndage and taken to his,: house where they received every attention and care that could be bestowed, but with- j out hope of saving their lives. Mrs. Ha- ! vens died at 6 o’ jclock, M., of the same day,-the youngest daughter at 2, A , M. of the 22d, and the father at 8, A. M. of the same day.

The Press in London and in New V. ork. —Three actions sot libel have recently been tried in London, and ia each case the defendants have been acquitted. Had the cases been tried in New-York, each of the defendants would have been convicted. We have noticed repeatedly that I English juries are the staunch and unflinching friends of the Press, and that it is very difficult in any part of Great Briti ain to get a verdict against ar. editor, ■ while here an editor, can scarcely escape, land juries invariably hold 'that everyI thing which is not complimentary to a man lis libellous.’ This proceeds somewhat from the careless manner in which u. my I of our editors make their statements and assail personal character, and. alsc fiom lhe manner in which they habitually abuse each other. So long as . .liters accuse each other of motives and conduct that would disgrace the inmates of the state-prison they should not complain if tb.e comunity esteem them according to their own report. — Porter's S. n .t of the Times.
