THE EAG LE. H~L.’ PHILLIPS,/ ~ ... z, ■ EIHTOBS <t PrOWIIETOBS W. (}. SPENCER,} DECATUR, INDIANA." FKIDAV MORNING, NOV. <5. 1557. V A/ A NT io Cords of good Wood v * on Subscription, at this Office. Removal. Dr. D. W. Chamfer, nas removed bis office to Main Street, opposite to Porter’s Drug Store. Court. The Common Pleas Court adjourned on yesterday morning. His honor Judge Horden presided, everything passed off pleasantly, and almost every case upon the docket was disposed of to the satisfaction of those interested. Important to Postornsteie. The Postm ister General has recently decided, that if the Postmaster do not give publishers of newspapers notice when their papers remain in the Postoffice without being taken out by tho subscribers within fire weeks, they are liable for the PV- ~ The I nion. The <Ji urnal of Commerce says, it is very probable that early in the approaching session of Congress, thiee new States will apply to be admitted into the Union, 11 ’ . I and become co-equal and co-ordinate members of our great Confederacy. The aspirants for this honor are the Territories of Oregon, Minnesota, and Kansas. Os these Minnesota alone hrs finally adopted a Constitution. It is probable that all three will be free States, practically at least, if not by express Constitutional provision. Thus the number of the United States will be thirty-four. The places of the.se territories when advanced to the more elevated position of States, will probably soon be filled by the organization of tho following new Territories: Arizona, Dacotah, and Carson, for which it said, the necessary stepts are being taken. Return Trips of tub Underground Railroad.—The Cleveland Plain Dealer says the steamer Telegraph brings bad. from Canada, on every trip, families of negroes who have forrnly fled to the Pruriences from the States. They describe t lie life and condition of the blacks in Can-n-l ias miserable in the ex rome. They are principally from Canada West. Ohio I and Michigan are likely to have accesso- | lies to their negro population, from that source. Glass Ballot Boxes.—The New York Evening Post states that a large number of glass ballot boxes for the use of the State are now in progress of manufacture at the New England Glass Factory, in Cambridge. This article is the invention of a Californian, and is designed to prevent stuffing, the use of false bottoms, and other frauds at elections. The invention •>f such a contrivance by a citizen of California is an interesting illustration of the law of supply and demand.

Zt?"! he ease of James 0. Brayinan, lute editor of the Chicago Democrat, chaigi;d with robbing the the mails, was called tor trial. A t the request of his counsel tne cafie «;.s postponed until Monday morning, in order to give Mr, Brayman time to arrange his domestic affairs. At that time lie will plead guilty to the first and second counts of the indictment. Affidavits in mitigation will be offered by his counsel. It will be remembered that the Chicago Democrat is the leading Republic in paper paper in Illinois. Since the above was put in type we learn that Mr. Brayman appeared plead guilty, and was sentenced to four years hard labour in Penitentiary. PP" t b.e G inison Abolitionists have concluded not to dissolve the Union till times get better. The disunion Convention, which was to meet at Cleveland en the "Bth, has been postponed on account of the financial difficulties of the country. Princeton (Hl.) Democrat states that a clergyman of that county has just been indicted by the Circuit Court for an attempt to violate the person of his wife s sister; and that another clergyman has run oil to \\ isconsiu to avoid numerous creditors. Both gentlemen were bitterly opposed to the Democratic party on “moral and religious grounds.” JtSFTlie woik-shops in the north ent of the State Prison at Culumbus Ohio were destroyed by fire on Friday night.— The fire was thought to be the woik o mi inceiidi.il v.

For the Decatur Eagle. > ; BV KEV. ROBERT MITCHELL. “If the righteous scarcely be saved, where I shall the imgodlv, and the sinner appear.—lst. C Peter, IV. 18.” ’ [ Concluded from last JFecX - .] Ii But we come now in the second place : to consider the question he put, “Where I shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?” iJ If those characters—if the righteous, <fcc. 11 Now you will observe the language the > Apostle employs here is very striking. He does not answer the question. He supposes the conclusion so possible that the mind cannot fail to draw the properer deduction, where shall they? where must they appear? There is but one place where j they can appear and it is where mercy is i gall, and where the Lord has forgotten ’ 11* O I I to be gracious. i We often, when we speak of sinners, ' kink oi those whose crimes are glaring! i and public, and who are gnilty of great; i and palpable transgression, and overlook \ I many of those offences which seem of comIparative indifference, but remember that I

every offence merits condemnation. Our text, under the appellation of sinners, refers not only to the infidel, the fool who has said in his heart there is no God; not only to the idolater, who worships Gods of bis own forming; not only to the murderer, who takes away the life of his fellow man; not only to the robber, whoinjures or takas away the property of his neighbor. These are indeed sinners, and you could all declare where they shall appear. It includes also, those who neglect any of the duties they owe to themselves, or their neighbors, who slight any of the privileges God bestows upon them, or violate any of the least of God’s precepts. — ; The same God who has said, “Thou shalt have no other God before me,” has said,! “Remember the Sabbath day to keep it' holy.” Ife who has commanded thou: shalt not kill, lias also, commanded thou! shall not take the name of the Lord thy j God in vain. Let us not imagine that the i Apostle includes under the term “sinner” only those whose crimes are flagrant and and aggravated. Whoever violates the sanctity of God’s Sabbath; whoever does not keep it holy as a day set apart for

giving praise and glory to God. Whoev- . er spends the Sabbath as a day of plea- ] sure and amusements and neglects the • ° I privileges and blessings which it brings; whoever on this day, without cause, isab- | sent from the house of God must rank ; among those whom the Apostle here calls! sinners. (Whoever neglects the ordi-l nances and means of grace God has ap-1 pointed in his law.) Whoever is guilty ' of u<ing profanely the name of God.— Whoever does not render praise and j thanks to God, as their creator and pre-' server; whoever does not pray to Him, as i the God of their salvation; whoever, as! parents, neglects the duties they owe to: their children must be classed under thei appellation of .sinners, and of them as well as the murderer and idolater, the Apcstle I asks “Where shall they appear. If the righteous scarcely are saved. If! they who have been awakened and enlight-j ened, who have truly repented of their! sins, and followed after holiness, who have ! labored to lay hold on the means of salva-! lion; who make dilligence and perseverance in well doing; who have endeavo-j red to come to God, if they scarcely be saved, whore shall the sinner, who has been living in open violation of God’s precepts, exciting their own hearts, and encouraging others to do evil? If the righteous arc scarcely saved, where shall such sinners appear? Hear what God’s word declareth, know ye not that the unright«ous man cannot inherit the kingdom of God. Be not deceived, neither covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners shall inherit the kingdom of Heai ven—the fearless and unbelieving, the ! abominable idolaters and all liars shall ! have a part in the lake that burnetii with I lire and brimstone. j Where shall appear the ungodly and ; the sinner. They shall appear before the judgment seat of Christ, but they shall | appear without a wedding garment; withI out a friend; without an intercessor—with . ■ the curses of the law on their consciences an the unappreciated blood of Christ upon their heads. They shall stand among that self-destroyed and abandoned hosl who must abide the wrath of the lamb—- ' banished forever from His presence and ■! glory. They shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation o the righteous. They shall go away ink I everlasting punishment. 1 Ges.

Wreck of the Steamer Riendeer!--Tiven ty-one Lives Lost!—Terrible Gale and Snow Storm on the Lakes—Severs Schooner Lost. Monday last may be sot down as one of the most fatal days in years—fatal tc ' life and property both on land and water, iln the morning upwards of twenty lives I were lost by a dreadful conflagration, and I before night upwards of twenty more lives I lay cold in the embrace of death on the shores of Lake Michigan. It was a hard day on the Lakes. It blew a most terrific gale, with a heavy blinding snow storm. We hear of it along Lake Michigan, up Lake Superior, aud can trace it by its work of disaster along the shores of the Lower Lakes. It was only yesterday, however, that we realized to the full extent the severity of the gale. About noon of yesterday the propeller Mears arrived in port from Big Point Sable, bringing intelligence of the wreck of the Canadian steamer Reindeer, about eight miles north of the Point. She also brought over Chas. Rowe, the mate of the schooner Alwildar—also lost—who communicated to us some of the particulars. On Tuesday last, two men arrived at Point Sauble, almost naked, and their feet badly frozen, who informed the peo- 1 pie of the neighborhood that they were ■ fireman on board the Reindeer, and that

they were the sole survivors of the entire ; crew, —she having been wrecked the pre-1 vious evening. They stated that all day Monday a most terrific gale blew from S. W. S., suddenly shilling to all points ' of the compass with a tremendous sea running. The steamer kept up pretty ' well all the forenoon, but in the afternoon, i she shipped a heavy sea, which extin- j gnished the fires, and the Captain had I no recourse left but set the helm up and i made for the beach. For several hours f in the evening the hurricane and snowstorm increased in fury, and it was utter- i ly impossible to see or do anything.— ! Those on board could only await with anxiety the fate which they knew awaited ! them. At length—somewhere about I midnight the steamer struck, and almost instantly the sea broke over her, and I washed the whole crew into the Like, ' where twenty-one of them found watery i graves. The men who escaped were firemen, and they state, that they are utterly unable to relate how and in what manner they were saved. The first they’ knew after she struck, was when they found themselves on the rocky beach.— Next day, the steamer was nearly all broken to pieces, and her timbers and cargo were strewn along the shore for miles. The Reindeer was a sidewheel steamer i known here bv sailors as a ‘Polly-wog.’ i She was owned by Holcomb & Render- ; son, of Montreal, and sailed from this : port on the 1 Gth inst., with 13,000 bush- ■ wheat, 6i bbls tallow, and some flour, ' for St. Joseph, where she was to take ou ;

ome nour ana start lor is.mg.ston. one ad a crew of twenty-one and two passi n■ers. The name or uie captain »!,. >. ’atterson, a Scotsman, who belonged to Kingston. He was much respected by .11 who knew him. The name of the teward was James Henry, and that ol be purser, Charles Bradford: but these ire all the names which can be obtained if the agent of the steamer at this port. She was eight or ten years old, and was ■alued at from fifteen to twenty thousand lollars. The cargo was owned by Relaud & Frere, of Montreal. Both vessel and cargo were insured. The schooner Alwilda, which left this port on the 14th for Dean’s Mills, near Twin Rivers, sprung aleak during the gale on Monday last, and as she was fast filling with water, the captain sot sail for the shore, which she struck at Big Point Sauble on Tuesday morning. She immediately broke her back and went to pieces. It was with some difficulty that the crew reached the shore in safety.

The steamer Lady Elgin arrived here yesterday noon from Superior. Capt. i Tompkins reports that a terrific gale and snow storm also prevailed on Lake Su- j perior on Monday last. He put into Cop- > per Harbor, where he found several vessels wind-bound. He also brought the intelligence that the Lake Navigation Co’s brig Standart was dismasted and sunk at Ohl Mackinaw. The standart left this port last week, with 3,300 bbls, of beef from Craigin & Co, The Propeller Wisconsin, Capt. Hickory, arrived here on Thursday evening, from Ogdensburgb. On Monday last he had put into the Manitous, where be found the Propellers Racine and Mayflower. Two sail vessels were thought to have gone ashore nt Glen Harbor, nearly opposite the south Manitou Island. They were seen for some time attempting to make the harbors, but they dieappeared and it is feared they w«re lost. The schooner L. Whitney is reported i lost on the east shore of Lake Michigan. ! No particulars.

Some fears were entertained regarding i the propellers Potomac and lowa, which would have to encounter the gale in all I its fury on Lake Huron. They left the ! Manitous on Sunday evening. | The propeller Adriatic, Capt. Lathrop, arrived here yesterday. On Monday, with, much difficulty she made Beaver ; Harbor, where she took refuge till the i fury of the gale was spent. I The wrecking propeller Salver, Capt. ■ Harding, arrived in port on Thursday ievening, with the schooner Metropolis in tow, which she rescued from Middle Isi land Reef, on Lake Huron. On Monday j she was out in the gale, hut went under ' St. Helena, and lay to till Monday. ’ The propeller Bradbury, Capt. Hewitt, arrived in port yesterday, and went into Presque Isle. The gale blew front the I northwest, with a haevy snow storm.

' The gale on Lake Erie, Ontario, an i J' Huron, l-.as been also very severe. Some i particulars of disasters there will be found 3 in our Lake and River news column. — > Chicago Press. Cunningham Items. I Mrs. Cunningham is not dead, neither 1' has she ran away. We happened to be i present at the arrival of the Albany boat the other morning, and saw Mrs. Cunningham with her two daughters. The baby was not with them, although sever|al dirty faced boys with stentorian lungs i asked after it. 'She was shouted alas 'she entered the carriage, but neither she nor her daughters exhibited the least change of countenance. i Miss. Augusta is a beautiful girl. She i maintained the same hauteur which she ;did throughout the trial. Poor Snodgrass is hero in New Tovk. jWe knew him before these difficulties i brought his name before the public, and ! a more unassuming, gentlemanly young j fellow you could not meet, lie says that j Ihe has not spoken to Mrs. Cunningham i or her daughters since the baby affair, ■ that be always thought her persecuted till i ' then, but that his whole opinion is chan-1 ;gcd. The affair has ruined him, for '; though willing and able to work, wher- ; ever he mentions his name, his application is refused. The public now are satisfied that he knew nothing of the affair, i and it seems hard that his character i should be blasted thus early in life. — Won’t some of your merchants give him a chance in their store, he is geentecl in his appearance and capable! Mrs. Cunningham bears everything with stoic indifference. The fact is, she I has neither respect for herself, pity for her daughters, whose good name she lias i forever blasted, or for those she has ruined.:

Says a New York paper: ‘Mrs C. came out of the court room at 12 o’clock Saturday, and crossed the Park with about the tallest crowd following her, hooting and shouting, that ever was seen to congregate on the development of any of the phases of the Burdell Drama.— Some scores of persons seeing the gathering moved towards the third avenue railroad, emerged from Nassau street, and as far down as Park place The Hall bell began to strike 12 o’clock, and folks thought there was a fire, but the excitement subsided when Mrs Cunningham entered the car, excepting among those who were lucky enough to hang on the platform to get a sight of her. After witnessing this furore no one would venture to say that Mrs. Cunningham was ‘played out.’

Tumpering with the wittnesses. It will be recollected that James Brayman, one of the editors of the Chicago I paper plead guilty to the charge of steal-! ing letters from the Post Office and was | sentenced to four years imprisonment. — , ati tiLLcnipL iiaa u&en tnaue tu uogunc an 1 important witness, a post office clerk by * the name Darden, away to Missouri, by | a fictitious oiler of a salary on a new Rail- ' road. The game was entrusted to a; young lawyer by the name of Edward | G. Asay. The otter was made and ac- ’ cepted and the witness had got upon the cars in fulfillment of the arrangement. — The discovery of the plot resulted in the arrest and trial of the young sprig of law. He was convicted. The penalty is 8500 fine and an imprisonment of six months., 1 Another illustration that straightforward-1 ness and honesty are the strongest vveap- ! ons and that‘honesty is the best policy’! even in law'. — Cleveland Plain Dealer, II 1, HI Latest From Minnesota, THE ELECTIONS. There were but few additional returns received yesterday, and no official vote I | of any oilier county than those published | yesterday. The necessity of figuring up ; ’on the Democratic side is superseded by I the certainty that the State is Democratic | i to the core; and it is left to the Republican i papers to figure up a majority for Rumsey. so long as they can make any oi their readers believe them. THE CONSTITUTION. The Constitution is adopted, but a very ■ few votes being cast in opposition to it. — Upwards of 40,000 voteshave been poll;ed in favor of it, while not 1,000 have ; been cast against it.

- America A head.-Prioress, the American mare in England it seems has shown her heels at last to the English Jokies.— She beat some thirty blooded English horses at the last cup race, and won some 810,000. Lecompt, her American mate, is dead. He has been ailing ever since he crossed the ocean and madeseveral failures at. the races. We can out. fight, out I sail, out steam out run the Red Coats.— Hoorah for us!— Cleveland Plain. Dealer.

A man named Joseph P. Perry, tilt real estate agent of Mrs. Cunningham, and her bail, has been arrested in New A. ork on a charge. of being implicatedin counterfeiting. Some $12,000 in counterfeit bills on varions Banks were found on him. The ‘Newport Belle,’ a new steam ferry boat running between Newport and Cincinnati}, was damaged by fir*e on Friday morning to the extent of $3,500; all her upper works having been destroyed. Supposed to be the work of an incendiary. What Tom Ford has come to.—Lieutenant Governor Tom Ford headed a committee at Mansfield, on Friday, to mob a broker at Cleveland who went there to draw money from the bank located there.

Dear Dealer: —I visited Hiram V> . Colk in Chardon Jail to day, having a j curiosity to see the man who has created Iso much talk in community, by the ntirocity of the crime with which he stands | indicted, and his singular escape at Chii cago and subsequent arrest at St. Louis, l an°account of which appears iu the Plain

Sheriff Clapp conducted me to the ; North cell in the Jvil, opening the door, i Cole, who was seated at the stand readI ing Goodrich’s History of all Nations, im- , mediately arose and received us i a very 'gentlemanly .manner. My section I with the P.

He says j that the publication will do him great injustice; that he is tn innocent man, and j will prove his innocence before the propI per tiibunal; that his first flight was an ! unfortunate thing for him, but he was so i elicited at the time with grief and circum- ! stances surrounding him that be did not ' know what to do, that lie bad gone but a few miles before he repented of leaving, but thought he Lad gone to far to return, he gave his horse the rein, and let him go . as lie pleased, and as he had left he must j make the best of it; be wished to be tried iby an intelligent jury, a jury who take and who read newspapers and he feared ■ that if his case was discussed and publisbed beforehand in the public journals I that he could not be tried by such a jury |as he wanted, as they would all have I made up their minds beforehand and that I 100 without hearing anything for the dej fence, as his counsel had advised him not jto write to the P. D. as he had intended |to do; that he was fully confident in a fair and impartial hearing he could 'satisfy a jury of his innocence, if not, he. I would die an innocent man, and he did not know but he might as well die now as evei; that he had lived but a short time and it would be perhaps but little consequence how long his life was spared, (while saying this he exhibited a commendable feeling;) that he did not know why Mr. Gray should publish against him, lie had seen Mr. Gray twice, &c. I told him you had no ill-will towards him and would more willingly publishe evidence of his innocence than of his guilt, and that anything he wanted me to say for him 1 would gladly say. He wished me to say that be was innocent, and anything else about this interview which 1 felt disposed to. and to send him a copy of the ■-■. u v i.I. -a •— «»» ♦ nrl tli r» n «• om £. f ffj ; ! .■ away about him, and he thought he ! would not write anything as it would have i a tendency to keep the community excited and undue prejudice might work him a great injustice; that all he wanted was justice fairly and impartially dealt out to him. To all of which, of, course, he is entitled, and will undoubtedly receive.

His room is about nine feet square, furnished with stove* light stand, two chairs and a bunk, the window is about a foot square and thickly grated through the p’.ank and stone wall a distance of about three feet, candles are furnished him by which to read and write: he is genteelly dressed and wears a gold watch chain, finger-ring and embroide r;1 slip pers. His face has gone ur. ha n for saveral days, otherwise he looks as if nothing happened to him. His language flows easy, and bis appearance is prepossessing. He wished me to say that lie was a naj five of Hampshier county, Mass., where : his parents now reside. That he did not keep a Livery Stable in Hamilton, C. W.’ but was in the V-. holesale and Retail Grocery business. That he went into business when he was 20, and was married when lie was 21. He reads or writes most of the time through the day. Keeps a diary of what ! interviews he has, with impressions, ic. He says there has nothing transpired during his life until this came up of any interest to the world. That he always has | been nn active business man, &c. His trial is set for the February term of the Court of Common Pleas. Yours, &c , E. B.

Another Girl Ruined bv a Clergyman.— Here is the last case from the Troy Times: We yegret to learn that Rev. Reuben Gregg, former pastor of the North Troy M. E. Church, has been arrested, charged with the seduction of a young lady at his new station in Washington county. The seduction was accomplished while the wife of Mr, Gregg was on a visit to her friends, when he had engaged the services of the young lady as a housekeeper. She is but seventeen years of age, and had always born a highly respectable name. Mr. Gregg was arrested while in attendance at a camp meeting in Sandy Hill.— He gave bonds for the support of an expected heir, and for his appearance to stand trial on the charge of seduction.— He has been dismissed from the Church of which he was pastor, and will probably be expelled from the ministry at the next meeting of the Troy Conference. We shonld often feel ashamed of our best actions if the world knew the real motives which produced them.

The Constitution of Oregon. The Constitution likely, according ti the last accounts, to be adopted by the Oregon convention contains some remarkable provisions. It does away (says the Journal of Commerce) with grand juries as unnecessary —the preliminary examination before a magistrate previous to committal being deemed sufficient. It pnvides that there shall be no lieutenant governor; that the secretary of State shall exercise the functions of governor proton. in ca“e of the death of that funotnary;and that the governor shall also be treasurer of the State. The number of members of the State senate is limited to fifteen and that of the assembly to thirty, with biennial sessions. The ballot is abolished at elections and viva voce voting substituted. Judges are declared ineligible for any of five not judicial during the period ft which they are elected, and for oneyar after; municipalities are absolutely pro hibited from a..ktu- and bail charters of every discription are forbidden. With regard to the question ol slaverv, it is believed that two clausesone legalizing and the other prohibiting slavery —will be appended to the draught of the constitution, to be adopted or rejected by a subsequent vote of the people.

Famine iu Stearns County, Minnesota, ‘Tiie Grasshopper shall be a burden,' said the Prophet, and so it is fulfilled in one of the new counties of Minnesotn.The ravages of this insect have been » terrible for two years, that the people el Steams County are bereft of the necessaries of life. The crops are totally destroyed. There is not a bushel of wheatoroau in the county raised within its borders.— Farmes, but two years since comparatively wealthy, are now suffering, and two or three thousand persons it is estimated, will require aid. A Committee, headed by Mr- Tensoord, lately Member of the Constitutional Convention, has come to St Paul to solicit contributions for the relief of a people on the verge of starvation.
