It may be observed, perhaps without exception, that none are so industrious to detect wickedness, or so ready to impute it, as they whose crimes are apparent and confessed. They envy an unblemished reputation, and what they envy they are busy to destroy; they are unwilling to suppose themselves meaner, and more corrupt than others; and therefore willingly pull down from their elevations those with whom they cannot rise to an equality. No man was ever yet wicked without a secret discontent; and, according to the different degrees of remaining virtue, or unextinguished reason, he either en-j deavors to reform himself, or corrupt oth- I ers; either to regain the station which he has quitted, or prevail on others to imitate his defection. — Ex. would again call the attention of our renders to the advertisement of Almon Case, found in another column for the sale of his well known Wool Carding Eestublishment; the location is one that cannot be surpassed in this section of the State, and few places offer greater inducements for a safe and profitable business in carding, fulling and cloth dressing. It is now in full blast and doing an exten eive business. Adulterated Liquors. Dr. Hiram Cox, chemical inspector of alcoholic liquors, Cincinnati, states, in an address to his fellow citizens, that during two years he has made 249 inspections of various kinds of liquors, and has found more than nine-tenths of it imitations, and a great portion of them poisonous concoctions. Os brandy, he does not believe there is one gallon of pure in a hundred gollons, the imitations having corn whiskey lor a baisis, and various poisonous acids for the condiments. Os wines, not a gallon in a thousand, purporting to be sherrr, port, sweet Malaga, <fcc., is pure, but they are made of waler, sulphuric ncid, alum, Guinea pepper, horse radish, i die., and many of them without a single | drop of alcoholic spirit. Dr. Cox war-! rants there are not ten gallons of genuine port wine in Cincinnati, in his inspec lion nf wbi.kpv, hrfhai found only from 17 tv 20 per cent, of alcoholic spirits, when it should have been 40 to 50, and some of it contains sulphuric acid enough in aqu tri to eat a hole through a man's stomach. A Fearful Leap. Thu Niagara Falls Gazette says that on Saturday evening a Mrs. Flynn, wife of a laborer, jumped over the bank of the Niagara river, just below the Hydraulic Canal. She apparently struck in the top of a tree after a decent of about one hundred feet, and fell from there to the bottom. When she left home she kissed her children, Lid them good bye and told them to inform Mr. Flynn that he would see her no more. When found she was sitting very composedly, cogitating doubtlevs, on the uncertainty of human calculations, especially when predicated on untried experiments. She was considerably bruised and scratched, but not much more than frequently happens in an ordinary shindy. Intoxication has been assigned as the cause of the act, but this is uncertain. W'A’e would invite attention, to the advertisement of Isaac Pyi.es. in to-days paper. All who desire Blacksmithing or Horse Shoeing done with neatness, and on short notice would do well to give him a call, notwithstanding he assures his cus- 1 tomern that they will be charged the highest prices for work done, we have no doubt thnt he will render general satisfaction ' both in work and price. A Good Retort—The Boston Transcript says that Mrs. Fanny Fembie Butler, happening to meet a well known gentleman of that city, (Mr. W.) in Messrs. Chickering’s piano forte warerooms, the other day, expicssed some surprise on seeing this gentleman enter into familiar and cordial conversation with Col. C., one of the partnersof the house. She is said to have wondered that a person engaged in mechanical pursuits should be treated by Mr. W, as an equal and a gentleman, “He is a Colonel, too—is be?” added the lady. In our country, none but gentleman arecolonels.' ‘ln our country on the contrary, madam,'said Mr. W., “not only may a mechanic be a colonel and a gentleman, but even an actrexs may In a ’*.!• morning, tiislsm.

CROPS. I Notwithstanding the back wardness of the I spring the wheat crops throughout the coun Ity never looked better than they do now; i and from the present prospects we may ■ ! hope for an average crop of corn and oats. | I Fruit—where the trees have survived the , severity of the winter—promise an abundance. We give below a few items from the press, from different sections of the country; and with one or two exceptions, give very favorable accounts. A gentleman who has just returned from ■ a somewhat extensive trip through Upper' [ Canada, informs the Rochester Democrat I that nothing can exceed the promise of j ! the wheat crop there, and unless some evil now unexpected, shall befall it, there will be an unusually bountiful harvest in Canada the present year. The Milwaukee Sentinel says:—Receipts of wheal from the country largely increased yesterday, and advices from the stations in the country are to the effect that the warehouses are crowded with teams bringing wheat to be forwarded to market. Dr. Smith, just from Dayton Ohio, informs the Cleveland Plaindealer that crops never looked more promising in the Miami Valley than now. In Northern Indiana and Northern Ohio it is said, winter wheat never looked better. The Louisville papers say that since the late rains, the grain crops in that neighborhood look quite promising. The same accounts from Louisiana and Virginia. Knoxville (Tenn.) papers say thatpro- ( vender is so scarce that the people are | compelled to cut down the trees, in order jto let the cattle eat the buds. The greaI test want is felt among the poorer ciasses. ' The Circuit Court at Jacksonborough ' (Tenn.) was obliged to adjourn without I sitting, owing to the impossibility of getting food for the horses of the Judges and of the other officers of the Court. A correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette says he has watched the crops for forty years, and chinks that in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and Kentucky there will :be a larger crop of wheat harvested the ' coming season than ever before. The Van Wert Constitution sayt, the prospect of the wheat crop in that county is most promising, and oats and corn may yet do well. The fruit there is not killed as was generally anticipated. The peach trees which survived the hard freezing of the winter of 55 6, now give promise of a full crop, and the prospects for apples are flattering. The editor of the New York Journal of Commerce has conversed with a very intelligent gentleman from Tennessee, who in answer to his inquiries, informed him that the wheat crop throughout the Stale never looked better, and that the surface I covered by it, is 25 per cent greater than j last year, when it was greater than ever j before. The present crop will be ready ; for harvesting in about a month, and in a [ month mure some of it may be in the hands of the merchants. E. D. Mansfield, Esq., in an article on , the crops says of Indian Corn: If this be a good season, Ohio will produce 80,000,- ' 000 of bushels. In 1855 it must have produced at least seventy millions. From i December last to May Ist, corn has not , been less than fifty cents a bushel, and for some weeks it has been over sixty.— Thus we see that the actual value of the I last crop exceeded thirty-five millions of dollars, in that State alone. In Kentucky •it was but little less; and in Indiana two i thirds of this sum. Thus wc find the corn crop in the three States amounts to nearly one hundred millions of dollars! Judge Petit made a decision last week, in an important case on a bill of exchange, at Lafaette, which, if sustained as law. will have a material effect on the exchange buiness of >ur banks and bankers. The case was founded upon a bill of exchange drawn and accepted by parties in Toledo, | I and discounted by bankers in Lafaette for ' the accommodation of the holder, at a( considerable shave, the holder’s indorsement being reduired to the bill, as a condiuon of its being taken. TLe bill was | not paid at maturity; the bankers came back on the indorser for payment, who set up the plea of usury in defense. The Judge charged then the fact that the plaintiff required the indorsment of the I holder of the bill—now the defendant in the suit—made the transaction a loan of money to him, and not a sale of the bill, ' and consequently usurious if more than six per cent, was taken, and that they ■ could not in any event, find for the plain-' tiffs for grereater sum than the amount paid by them upon the bill, when they received it, and also that a verdict must be renderad against the plaintiffs for costs. The result of thetiial was a verdict for ■ the plaintiffs for tha amount advanced by ■ them upon the bill, without any interest i whatever, and against them for eo»t

ANOTHER WM. TOWNSEND, Incidents in the Lite of a Feloi. The career of the youthfnl Ed, dawI kins, who has recently been sentencsd to [death, in Estill county, Ky., for theaiur- ' der of Land and Irvin, would furnish an [exciting annal wherewith to embelishtlie | lives of the Felons. He is only about j twentv-two years of age, is robust and prepossessing in appearance; possesirg an ‘ air and feature well calculated to deceive , ladies of susceptibility and verdancy.— i His own confession is a proof of his tact ( as a lover, for he has been married no less I than half a dozen times, to young and in-. [ teresting females; and it is remarkble [ : that they are all yet living. At the time ! of his arrest he was promenading with a lady to whom he was engaged to be married. who was to have been the seventh victim to his fascinations. Young Hawkins is a grtmdson of Tom Harper, the notorious brigand, who was prominent in the bloody scenes of early Kentucy history. About the loth of March last the subject of this sketch stole a mare on the the waters of Silver Creek, in Madison county, Ky. He had disposed of liis small estate at Proctor, Owsley near which place he was apprehended*by his unfortunate victims, Land and Irvin, on the 22d of the same month. The prisoner having been conveyed some fifteen | miles toward Estill county, Irvin had dismounted and given his horse to Hawkins, who rode by the side of Land. In an unguarded moment Hawkins caught Land’s right hand, and reaching forward, drew a pistol (which was a self-cocking revolver)from his bosom. He immediately fired upon Irvin, who was walking by his side, the ball taking affect in the left temple and passing out through the lower jaw. Land and Hawkins then jumped or fell from their horses simultaneously; Land running some ditance on i his hands and feet. Hawkins ran up to } his second victim with his pistol present- . ed, when Land raised his hands itnplor-| ingly, invoking Hawkins not to shoot. — . Hawkins fired however, and the shot took , effect in Mr. Land’s eye, killing him in- . stantly. Irvin was still struggling in death when found a few minutes after the shooting. The murderer wandered about for several days after he had committed the double crime, and confesses that he rambled back to the scene of the encounter the following Tuesday, his path crossing the blood which had flowed from the wounds of his innocent young victims. He was finally traced to a cavern in the neighborhood, and was so close pursued in his hiding-place that ho heard ■ the conversation of his pursuers, and repeated a proposition made at the time to smoke him from his concealment. Discovering an opening into the cavern, he escaped to Ohio, whither he was followed by some worthy citizens of Estill aonntji. They were close upon him at one time, when he eluded their vigilance by effecting to be a laborer, and proceeded to place some rails on a neighboring fence. His identity was so nearly recognized by one of the party the remark was made by one of die pursuers to a companion that when they did find Hawkins, they would find a man that almost exactly resembled the individual laying the fence before them They passed on, however, unconscious of the presence of the very indivdual whom they were so eagerly pursuing. He was subsequently identified and arrested near bis father’s residence, in Ohioand conveyed to the Estill county jail by way of Covington. A popular meeting was then held, which appealed to Judge Pearl lor immediate trial of the prisoner. In accordance with the general sentiment, the Judge convened his special term on the 27th ult. In the meantime many citizens who were impatient at the tardy administration of Justice, informed Hawkins that if he should not be ready for trial at the appointed time, or should obtain a change of venue, they would themselves administer that summary justice which the nature of his crime demanded. Bui the obtained without delay, and the young outlaw had a fair and impartial hearing. He had the benefit of the legal ability of four attorneys of distinction. On the 30 of March he was found guilty of murder in the first degree. A fact is related of him, which illustrates his coolnesi even in extremity, and exhibits his indifference in the contemplation of a felon’s death. The sentence of the Judge was expressed in the usual form, concluding with the expression that the prisoner must be hanged by neck until be is dead. When Hawkius was recommitted, after the sentence had been pronounced, in a tone and manner betokening , the most careless levity, he said, ‘The Judge says I shall be hung by the neck! [ wliera in hell would a man be hung, if not ( bv the neck?’ Hawkins has made many confessions, which are entitled to more or less confidence. He says he has serve one year in the State penitentiary, aud entered the regular army, which he deserted, after killing a commanding officer. He numbers his murdered victims by the half dozen, and has rejoiced in the loves of as many wives, all of whom are living. He seems to posses a taste for the refinements of life, even in his brutality. A correct drawing ofthecavehe inhabited, has enabled a ; gentleman to find the pistol he forced from Land, with which he commited the foul deed which he is to expiate on the scaffold. His taste for art evinced itself in a skillful drawing, which he made in his ’ cell the Sabbath day preceding his trial. ; The picture delineated a beautiful female. I expiring beneath the blow of a hatchet, in the hands of a seducer -donb'le*’ a

scene in which he has himself played an active part. As if to lend a hornble contrast to view, he added the design of two graceful doves —those images ot innocence and peace—upon lhe same can- , The history of this misguided man is ; almost overpowering to the moral senses, [ and is terribly suggestive to the mind that [there is a hereafter where justice is swifl, I sure, and unerring—that ‘earth is not Iman's only abiding-place.’ May the (poor unfortunate subject of this brief sketch find redemption in that blood which ( was efficacious for the thief, even upon the cross, and a consolation in that mercy i which follows our erring footsteps even to the brink of the murdcre’s grave.— Louisville Times. Mobocracy again! Three Negroes Hung— The Fourth having Commited Suicide in the Jail Yard-Tha Cannon Drought out and the Police Overpowered. We take the following from the Louisville Journal of the 15th* Yesterday afternoon the of counsel concluding in the case of the three negroes charged with the murder of Joyce family, in this county, several months ago. Judge Bullock then charged the jury, who retired, and in a I short time returned with a virdict of ‘not! guilty.’ It would have been impossible, ( we are told by lawyers, to render a different verdict, considering the nature of the testimony introduced by the prosecution, which consisted mainly of the statements of one of the negroes implicated in the crime. Besides, Judge Bullock in j his charge declared this evidence to be I entitled to but little if any credii. Immediately after the rendition of the ( verdict the greater portion of the persons in the court-room left and proceeded toward the jail, where the accused were confined. The crowd was somewhat excited, and manifested a desire to satisfy i themselves with executing summary vengeance upon the regroes who they conceived were improperly acquitted. Arriving in front of the jail, they were met at the gate bv the Chief of the Police and a body of his men, who resisted their attempts to enter. Foiled in their efforts the excited crowd retired and until night were gathered in the vicinity, but made no further demonstrations. In the meantime the police force was strengthened, and arrangements made for the defense of the jail in view of a contemplated attack. By nightfall the multitude had greatly swelled in numbers, and the excitement was manifestedly increasing.— The majority of the persons present, however, appeared to be merely spectators, taking no part in the disturbance. Appeals were made of a highly inflamatory nature, and the indignation of the people was naturally heightened. Finally a despornto onslituglit wus mfldc, the prison fence was broken, and the large crowd rushed to the door. Several shots were fired, and. the force wi'hin returned it by the discharge of blank cartridges. The firm resistance further maddened the already infuriated mob. A party of men and boys forced an entrance into the building where the artilery is kept, and procuring a cannon, heiivily loaded it with every description of deadly missels. This was planted within a few f<-et of the prisondoor which was already battered down, and the windows broken in. Threats were made to discharged the cannon into (the small anterchamber, where Mr. ThomI as, the jailor, and bis deputies, Mayor Pilcher, and about twenty policemen, were stationed. Further resistance would have been utterly futile, and at the imminent peril of the life of every one of the gentlemen j who were attempting to defend the prison. It wonld also have resulted in demolishing the prison defenses p.nd safeguards, and freed more than fifty priso- ! ners. Under these circumstances the officials in charge found themselves forced to the painful measure of delivering up 11I1C negroes. These officers had during ! the evening conducted themselves with | much manliness, and for two hours bej fore dark had successfully kept at bay the attacking mob. Had the crowd been ; dispersed when it first assembled and engaged in disorderly proceedings, the terI rible tragedy that ensued could have been I arrested. Three of the prisoners being delivered [ up, a razor was givan to the fourth in the ; jail, (Jack, the property of Mr. Samuels, i of Bullitt county,) and he cut his, throat, | severing the jugular vein and wind-pipe, arid producing instant death. The wound was ot the most horrible character, and a more ghastly spectacle was scarcely ever witnessed than the dead body when it was brought to the yard and exposed to the view of the crowd. Ropes were obtained, and the other negroes marched off to the ( court-house square. At the west end, George, the slave of Mr. Samuels, was hung upon a tree, amid the hooting and | execrations of the multitude. The other two were then marched through the , square, and near Fith street were likewise I executed. One of them, the slave of Mr. , Brown, protested his innocence, and plead piteously to be released. His agony of mind and sufferings were very intense. i Mr. Peudleton’s Bill, the one who was ■ the State’s evidence in the case, was the [ last one executed. Fires were kindled under the suspended bodies, but they were not consumed. The excitement, in some degree, subsided and the turbulence gave way to a feelina of silent horror at the terrible scenes.— j The rioters themselves, having wreaked j then vengeance upon the victims, appeared to-be uc -t» awe-i'ieken than exultant

The Indiana Democracy and the Nationid Administration. James Buchanan was the choice of the Democracy of Indiana for his present elevated position. It was the firm and undeviatirig support of the delegates from this State in the National Conventiontaat gave him the nomination, and it was the moral influence arising from the triumph -! ant success of the State ticket last fan ; which elected him President. The Democracy of Indiana rallied to the support of Mr. Buchanan as the man for the times—for the emergency which had arisen in our national affairs. A confidence in his patriotism, his ability, his wisdom, his ■ moderation, his intimate acquaintance and participation in all questions of public policy which had affected the country during a political life of forty years and a chastened ambition, which could have no other motive but his country’s highest good, recommended him to the conservative and patriotic men of the nation as the propel man to guide the administration of the j Government. He was a tried man, and had been found equal,to every emergency., He was one of the few old statesmen left . who remain to the nation as links to con- I nect the present generation with that pat- j riotic one which pledged ‘their lives, their j fortunes and their sacred honors, to obtain and perpetuate a popular soverignty, government resting upon the public will, an experiment which has had no parallel in the past* but which we have demon-1 strated to be practicable not only, bull the best. No better political institutions have ev- j er existed than our own. They have not' been equalled. This the Democracy of Indiana and the patriotic men of the nation knew and felt. To preserve them in their origional purity and purpose was the sentiment which animated and gave impulse to the Democracy of the nation in the recent political campaign. It was a victory of reason, of principle, of patriotism, over fanaticism, prejudice and sectionalism. ‘Peace hath its victories no less than war,’ was most forcibly illustrated in that triumph of principle over passion, of justice over prejudice. Upon the platform which the Democracy made their issue and obtained their victory over their political opponents-, with the same sentiments, motives and objects, has Mr. Buchanan inaugurated bis administration. The same principals and policy which the Democracy of Indiana advocated and sustained in their recent struggle and victory have been adopted by the Democratic President as those which shall control his administration.— The sentiments of the Indiana Democracy receive a responsive echo in the inaugural of their representative President. The question now arises will the Democracy of Indiana uphold their political Chief in sustaining their own principles and executing their own policy? Will they take from him that confidence now when he most needs it, which they freely and voluntarily pledged him? There is no one bnt who must admit that in his present elevation the personal ambiton of Mr. Buchanan must be salified. In position he has reached the topmost round of the ladder. There is nothing beyond it. He is pledged to a singleterm and his age forbids the idea that he would longer desire to bear the burdens of state. To advance the welfare of his country must be the only ambition which can influence him—the only fame which he can covet. Is there a single consideration which should prevent the Democracy from reposing the fullest confidence in the integrity, wisdom and patrotism of their chief? The administration of Mr. Buchanan will be a popular one. Neither the fanaticism or the extreme notions of the North or the South will find in him any favor or sympathy. The beneficent influencee of his wisdom, his moderation and his policy will be impressed upon the country, giving confidence and stability to its government and institutions. For a moment the disappointments of office seekers may cause a ripple upon the surface, but !it will soon subside in the public mind as 'to who executes the laws, in the paramount desire of having a good government. It is not in the mere administration of a government, or which of its members administer it, that the Democracy feel the great interest, but it is in having correct principles and sound policy control the country. Will the Democracy of Indiana sustain the administration of Mr. Buchanan? We know they will. That is the purpose of the people. They have so willed ii.— The quarrels feuds of party leaders, their contests and rivalry for place, will have no more influence upon the Democratic party of Indiana than has the passing cloud to obscure the light of the sun. If all those who now hold the office in the Democratic ranks were swept away in forgetfulness. in their places would arise those equally if not better capable, to occupy the position of leaders or administer official duties. This man or that man are not necessary to tuo continuance of the Democratic party, or to the success of its principles and policy—there are none but who are its mere reflex, the mirror which reflects the image they receive. If the men who were foremost to procure the nomination of Mr. Buchanan should be the first to desert him as President, ! because their own selfish ends are not ( thereby accomplished, their action will ■ find no sympathy with the people, i j Their partiality for, or desire for the sue-1 [ cess of men will not for a moment inter- ' sere with the higher and paramount con- i sideration, into which ail others sink into i (insignificance, which influenced themin' tbs selection of Mr. Buchanan for our

Chief Magistrate, the confidence that 1. 6 would secure to the nation a gooff wise government. We cannot, in conclusion, better press the confidence of the people ufl n( j|' ana in the wisdom of Mr Buchanan the integrity of bis administration, thiiby adopting the sentiments of Governor Wright in his lastanual message: ‘Early and deeply impressed with t!, a importance of electing a Chief Magistrate from among the tride, experienced, ail( j foremost statesmen of the country, the. choice ol Indiana was firmly fixed upon, distinguished statesmen of Pennsylvania as the one pre-eminetly qualified to guide the affairs of the nation, and specially adapted, by his wisdom and patriotism, to the exigeciesof the existing crisis. The sagacity of our steadfast choice urged upon, and ratified by the National Convention, lias been confirmed by the voice of the nation; and we have the satisfaction of knowing that the considerate men of all parties are now looking with hope, to the unsullied character, the malure judgment, and the national spirit, o f the President elect, as strong and peaceful guaranties that he wiii guide our councils to a happy issue; enforce obedience to laws; disarm contending factions; protect our foreign and domestic interests; and that diligently and successfully watching and guarding all the varied inj terests of our vast Republic, he will reI tire from office with the consciousness of ; virtue, ripe in years, and rich in the re- [ spect and confidence of a great and happy I people.— State Sentinel Mormondom. We have received our full files of the Desert News, the mouih piece of the Great Prophet Brigham Young. The paper contains unmistakable evidence ot revolution, —a determination to sustain the Prophet as the Lord’s annointed against the Government of the United States,— the ‘World, the Flesh, and the Devil,’ The Saints are willing to obey the Law* of the country, provided they are in accordance with the laws of God as reveal ed by the prophet. The New England Churches occupy the same platform.— i They are willing to obey the laws of Con- ( gress provided they comport with the ex- ■ positions given to the ‘Higher Law’ by •their' Thirty-five bundered’ Anti-Ne-I braska Clergymen. The New Englanders ; do not go quite so far in their defiance of , law as the latter day Saints do, for the reason they are not quite so far from the I seat of Government, but place the latter in Utah, and we should no doubt find Brigham Young, and Heber Kimballs in the Beeches, Parker Pillsbury, Wendell Phillips, Sumner, Seward, Chased; Co. When religious fantas'.icism gets mixed in political btfairs there is but little i choice to make in the kind of religion mixed. It makes maniacs cfmen, whatever name they may give to either their politics or religion. The Crusades, the Invasion of Cromwell, the Spanish Inquisition, the persecution of the Scotch Covicnanters, and latterly the Mormons snl I New England Presbyterians, are all illustrations of this truth. When the ballott box, catridge box, and contribution box, blend their powers together, and nought but mischief both to Church and the State can come from it. The Mormons arc evidently making arrangements to test the power of the Government by calling on their Prophet, Priests, and invoking the Spiritual power of God to resist the enforcement of the United States Laws. They are arming, equipping, and drilling their Saints of the rank and file, warning them as Cromwell did his men, to ‘put thei r trust in God, but keep their powder dry.’ They have made overtures to several of the surrounding tribes of Indians to form treaties of alliance for purposes of defence. It all betokens the storm that is coming, and they see there is to be no child? play or compromise with them by this Administration. No State or Territory can remain » part of this Government while in a state of rebellion against its laws. Some suppose they will remove to the British possessions. But they will find submission necessary there. They are more likely to go on to the Pacific Coast, and lastly to some Island in the Sea, as did the Mormans of Michigan perhaps to the Sandwish Islands, where an independent government might be established. The Continents of Earth can furnish no resting place for such a community of political outlaws. Capt. Benj. McColloch the Texian Ranger, and whose very name is a terror to evildoers, declines the Governorship of this Territory. It has since been decided to send Gen. Harney there with troops enough to put the whole of Mormondom under Martial Law, until they will peaceably submit to a Civil Government. This is right. When ballot-box-es fail, bayonets is the remody. Utah bids fair to engross the public attention ol the country as much as Kansas has done, and we hope with the same pacific effect.
