The special committee to revise 1 the schedule of statistics of the < 9th census, it is now thought will ! adopt the §ame that governed in ’ taking the census of 1850. 1 Macon, Georgia, has a negro postmaster who is obnoxious to the white people without regard to politics, yet the President refused ' their petition for his removal. 1 Rev. Joseph Lowe, of Quincy, , 111., has been expelled from the , Christian church for attempting improper liberties with a young lady; and for conduct unbecoming a gentleman and a Christian. The Cuban junta, of New York, has been arrested upon an indictment charging them with having begun a military expedition against the foreign state of Spain. They • have given bail fortheir appearance to answer the charge. The pilot's association, St. Louis, have tendered the board of'trade, | free of charge, such pilots as may ' he necessary to bring an ocean steamer to that city, and several. merchants have signified their wil i lingness to order goods to load j the vessel at Liverpool. The Boston pence jubilee closed j last Saturday with a grand concert i by the public schoolchildren, numbering .8,000 voices.’ The jubilee has been a musical and financial j success. The enormous expense’ has been fully met by the receipts,, while it is estimated that the ticket ‘ speculators have made at least i 8700,000. ; An additional article has been j added to the treaty with Italy, by j which persons guilty of embezzle- j ment, or any other crime, subject | to infamous punishment, according to the laws of the United States, . and criminal punishment according to the laws of Italy, will be deliv- i ered to either government upon ap- i plication. Marshal Serrano took the oath I of office as regent of Spain, last Saturday. The cortcs passed a bill giving validity to the acts of the provisional government. Gen. i I’cseeula, a strong supporter of ; the ex queen, has been arrested and . will, it is thought, be exiled to the ; Canaries. The president of the j republican club has been arrested j for makingLi speech against Mar ehal Serrano. News from Cuba to June 9th ' says, that all the regular troops ' had left Santiago de Cuba for act- • ivc service in the field, leaving the . volunteers to guard the city. The filibusters that had landed at the ! bay of Nipe had inarched for the ' interior. Intelligence from the in tcrior is that the grinding of sugar I cane had been stopped on account ■ of rains. The agents of the insurgents at Washington V-Iniin that 5,000 mon had lauded from the i United States. They .also assert 1 •r I that they have not found it neces- I aarv to go into foreign markets sor 1 * loans, as the planters have advanc-;' ed all that was necessary. 11 A aerions shooting atfray took place last Sunday evening at Fort Wayne. » For some time past Wells Jias been foreman in the Jtemtcrat oili-e, in that city, but lattely Drukemiller has been hold- i lug that position, and Wells acting as a compositor. Well's conduct, for several weeks past, has not l«een satisfactory to his employers, and he had been notified that he must do better: but no change j luring made by him. the DeAocrat , proprietors notified their foreman thnt lie should dismiss him. (Wells.) Th i.-was-done yestcr-1 day afternoon. When he threaten j cd to make Drukemiller answer ! tl.*nrly for it, blaming liiin for his dismissal. They met on Calhoun street, last night, when some l words gassed, and Wells commenc cd beating Drukcmitler. The latter then shot him with a single- ; shooter, the l*all entering near the right shoulder blade. It was taken out by Dr. «Myers, who says, j this evening, that Wells’ condition is very critical. Drukemiller gave hitusclf up. but has not' l>ccn taken in charge by the. authorities He claims to have acted in selfdc fen it.

Spiritualism in Indiana. The State Spiritual convention met at Indianapolis last Saturday. The secretary reported that Mr. Whipple, who had been appointed missionary, worked while the mon ey lasted, and organized eight societies. The committee on resolutions reported a lengthy platform, which was adopted, setting forth that religion does not consist in certain dogmas or acts of faith, but in the self-conducted education T>f the whole man ; also, that regeneration. is no mystery, but the man’s own act, from first to last; that Spiritualism embraces all subjects,—religious, social, political, and scientific, —and ignored no subject within the range of human thought; that Spiritualism sympathises with all classes and conditions of womankind, in their struggles to attain their natural and inalienable rights of freedom and equality. The treasurer's report showed receipts to the amount of 8'285 90; expenditures, 8278 30. The following additional resolution was offered: Hesolvefl, That, in the opinion of this convention, it is inexpedient to assert what spirits will or will not do when money is or is 1 not a part of the consideration—knowing that certain conditions are necessary for all spiritual manifestations. This proposition excited an animated discussion, involving the whole theory of Spiritualism. The irrepressible and gushing woman's rights man-woman, Miss Amanda Way, thought if Spirits were the i pure beings ’ represented, they I | would readily come to people lion- . ' estly seeking the truth and trying' to lead better lives. Mr/Yeakle, i of Lafayette, affirmed that medi I • urns must be protected from outside influences, to be reliable. Miss ; Way had friends in the spirit land janxious to help her: why should i they limit their intercourse? She ' had taken great interest in Spirit- j i ualism for several years, but the more she investigated the less ! powerful the manifestations bc- ; came and the less she thought of the whole thing. The further consideration of the resolution was . postponed. 1 Dr. Thos. A. Bland and Judge j McDonald gave the convention an , account of their visit to the Schar I fer mediums, at Dayton. The room where the spiritual comma nication took place, was dark, damp and dismal, lighted by a tai - | low dip. The spirits were first ‘attracted by singing religious ; hymns. Dr. Bland, was accompa ; iiied by a brother of old John Brown, and his spirit was the first! that demonstrated. The spirit; shook hands with his brother and j ! the Dr., and expressed his delight 1 jat seeing him. He said he could | hear mortals singing the touching ; ’ song of.“ John Brown's body lies; i mouldering in the grave,” and he thanked God his soul was march j ingon. # The convention provided for i the issuing of certificates of ordi- | nation and fixing the field of labor Ut I of applicants. lire next annual’ meeting is to,be held in Richmond, j • * ■! — Temperance Sermon. —Rev.i Charles Wilkinson delivered atom j perancc discourse ' Hie Methodist Church last Sabbath evening. In openi' g his discourse, lie remarked ! that he had been requested, by the members of the church, wc suppose, to not fully express Jiis views on the subject in the church, but that at some future time and suita-1 ble place he would express himself ' without reserve. Wc were some-' what surprised at this announce- ! I ment, from the fact that wc supposed that as a leader in the church it was his duty to point out the : true way; rebuke sin and vice in ’ every form ; that they as Christian men and women might by their ex- j ample mould society to their views, I instead of allowing the community i in which they move to be the di I recting power. What we have to i say is not dictated in a spirit of tin- f kindness, but we did think at thetime that every man occupying his position, to lie a true follower of the Master, upon all subjects, and ’especially in the pulpit, should 1 fully express what his consciencious convictions of right and i wrong are, without sugar coating. It will ad<lT<> his strength and influence. and* to that of the church

Honest integrity of purpose will command respect at all times; and those opposed to temperance are quick to recognize and acknowledge it. His counsel to the church' was very appropriate; they should avoid every appearance of evil and abstain from the use of alcoholic drinks, whether in the shape of whisky or domestic wines. His appeal*to society to set ar. exam pie of temperance and sobriety was very good. Waxing earnest with his theme ns he progressed, the speaker made several propositions, that, under the circumstan , ces would not have diminished the I interest in his discourse had they been omitted. Indeed, had he abridged his ideas and gave them in a more condensed form, so that I he would have,occupied only about one half of the time that he did, wc think it would have pleased nine out of every ten of euce ami at the same time been quite as effective. -The Terre Haute Journal says one of it* subscrilters has ha<L ten acres of water melon vines nearly destroy rd by bugs.- He has forty acres still in good condition.

F. Cottingham, who lived near Hamilton, committed suicide, bydrowning on Saturday last. -The Huntington Denwcrat says a fire occurred at Antioch one night last week, destroying about 86,000 worth of property. The Wabash Slawlard says that an unusually heavy hgil storm passed over the north part of that country op Saturday last, doing great injury to the wheat and corn crop. An amorous gent, made improper advances to a grocery man s wife in Fort Wayne, and for so doing Mr. Groccrvman “went for hi tn In the scuffle, the gent, lost his “goatee’ by a simple twist of the s arm of the insulted grocer.

Out of the earth, wc are told, man was created, and perhaps the models of the Lafyctte sculptress are of that kind. -A Mr. White, in Parke, near the I north line of this.county, died Thursday from the result of injuries received in a personal difficulty with Zerubbabel Rooks, on Saturday. White’s skull, it is supposed, was fractured by the stroke of a club in the fight.— Terre Haute Express. -Wc arc glad to sec that the cause of men’s rights is making progress in the West. A woman commenced proceedings for divorce in Indiana lately, and the l husband applied for alimony. He, did’nt get it, but it was something that the judges allowed him to ask for it.—2Ve»c York -The citizens of Noblesville propose to have a grand old-fashiogcd celebration of the Fourth on July this year. E. W. Kimball, of Indinanapolis, has been invited to deliver the oration in the forenoon, and Rev. E. P. Ingersoll a temperance address in the afternoon. Whisky in the morning and water in the afternoon. * -Two men broke jail at Princeton, but were recaptured. The jailor learned from some of the other prisoners that they had been considering a nice little plan for cooking” him, which was for one of them to seize and hold him while the other should beat his brains out with apiece of iron they had in their f>os?cssiou. Fortunate ; ly they did not execute the plan

‘ A Lafayette Scvi.itkess. — Lafayette boastl a sculptress—a young married lady—who certainly displays rare genius in that line. She has made several models from clay of wounderful fideliity and rare merit. Lafayette Courier. -The Covington Friend, in commenting upon the recent Woman’s Right’s Convention held in this city, remarks: “If these strong minded (or rather weak, minded) ’ creaturcrs would remain at home i and perform their legitimate dutiers, they might become respected and honored members of society. Let them obey the commands of St. Paul, who saj-e, ‘lf a woman would s[>eak, let her ask her husband,’ and, It is not good for women to speak in churches,’ (or convcn-1 tions either.’) OF SURVEY.
