PROSPECTUS

OK THE

INDIANA STATE SENTINEL. It is the intention of the Proprietors of the Sentinel to make it in all respects a newspaper worthy the support of the Democracy of Indiana. And 111 the proportion its circulation is increased and its advertising patronage enlarged will be our ability to add to its interest. Having no local Agents, we depend entirely upon the efforts of our political friends to extend its circulation. In no cheaper or more effectual way can political intelligence be circulated, zeal excited and party organization preserved, than through the medium of the press. All, then, who are desirous of the success of Democratic principles and policy, can serve the cause in no better way than in extending the circulation of the political organs of the party. The year, upon which we have entered, will doubtless be one of important events. Upon all matters of public interest we shall give full and reliable intelligence. An important State elec tion occurs next October. A new Legislature, members of Congress, Supreme Judges, and most of the State officers are to be elected, ft is only by sleepless vigilance and untiring effort that we ran expect to maintain the supremacy of the Democratic party. It behooves every Democrat, then, 11 inform himself upon the issues of the day, which it will be tiie object of the Sentinel faithfully to present, and thus be prepared for the conflict. The Sentiurl will be governed in its political course by the authoritatively expressed sentiment-! of the party. The principles and policy it promulgates it will be our aim to advocate and defend, believing that upon the integrity of the Democratic party rests the preservation of our unequalled Government. It will represent the Democratic party of Indiana ; not cliques, factions or men. It will be impartial towards all candidates for party favor, but whoever it may select as candidates for public position, and its representative men, it will be our object to elect and sustain. The Sentinel will pay especial attention to commkrciai. news, the agricultural interests of the State, and all miscellaneous intelligence. We have made arragementa lor the news by telegraph as full as the Cincinnati papers. This will add largely to our expenses, for which we hope to be remunerated by an increased circulation. Wc will, also, send the Daily by express to all the principal points in the State. Terms—Strictly in Advance. Daily Sentinel, per annum $(5 0(1 Daily Sentinel, per month 50 Weekly Sentinel, single subscriliers, per year, 1 50 Weekly Sentinel, clubs of the, 6 25 Weekly Sjntinel, clubs of ten 10 00 And the same rate for over that number. Those who send clubs of twenty or over, will be entitled to one copy of the paper without charge. To those who get the three largest clubs for the Sentinel, we will present with suitable premiums.

Editors or State S eft in el:—Being informed by Mr. Sam’l Donelson, Route Agent on the Jeffersonville and Indianapolis Railroad that there is an attempt being made, by some persons, to throw suspicion upon him, for carelessness or some other dereliction of duty, in the losing of several mail pouches lately on that rsad; and being anxious that no injustice should be done, I .vould state that no blame whatever attaches to Mr. Donelson or any other agent on that route; the mail bags having been undoubtedly stolen from a train on which there were no route agents. W 4. Carver. Jan. 6th, 1858. Bates House, Indianapolis.—A brief visit to the Bates House, at Indianapolis, has induced the wish on our part to make other travelers partake of the pleasures we have enjoyed. The house has always possessed a fair reputation, but since its management was undertaken by the Messrs Chambers, a few months ago, it has taken altogether a new rank and is now one of the very best hotels in the country. The stxle is like that of our own admirable Galt House; the managers enabling one to feel as much at home as it is possible to do in so large an establishment. All the appointments of the house are elegant, and those who preside over them are worthy of the places they occupy. We refer to this house less to subserve its interests than those of the traveling public, to whom this notice may be of especial service. To all travelers we specially recommend the Bates House of Indianapolis.—Lou.

O* The mud on Louisiana street, between Meridian aud Illinois, passing the Union Depot, ought to be carted off. What says Mr Street Commissioner to looking after it? O’ J. B. Norman and L. G. Mathews, of the New Albany Ledger, and Col. O. T. Baird, of the Tipton Dominion, are among the Editors now in the city stopoing at the Palmer House. O’ At the Wright House, the Tiemont, the American, Little’s, the Bates and the Palmer, all first class Indianapolis Hotels, there were numerous arrivals yesterday.

Democratic meeting. There will be a meeting of the Democracy in the Hall of the House of Representatives to night, at 7 o’clock. Eminent Democratic speakers will be present. The Brooklocker Case.—This case, in which the defendant is charged with the murder of Wm. McFall, last spring, will probably go to the foot of the docket in the Marion Circuit Court, and come up for trial sometime hereafter. Reminiscences by Hon. O. H. Smith.—The first edition of this work is already exhausted, and a second edition is ordered. Throughout the State and the whole West the book meets with a ready sale.

O’ The dress parade of the City Greys, at their armory, on Tuesday night last, was most brilliant. The new band, Mr. J. A. Baker, con ductor, was present for the first time. The Greys, under Capt. Elliott, are bound to rival any other chiyalric corps in the country. The Eastern Mail —The great Eastern mail, between Indianapolis and Dayton, Ohio, has again been put on the railroad. We understand there is now a strong probability that the same mail will be put on the Terre Haute and Indian-

apolis road at an early day.

Insurance.—Mr. Isaac N. Ash, office in Templar’s Hall, West Washington street, is agent for the Farmers’ and Mechanics’ Fire, Marine and Life Insurance Company. This is a Pennsylvania company, located in Philadelphia, with a capital of $1,250,000. Mr. Ash is prepared to

take risks in this locality.

ET Preparations for the winter exhibition of e Indiana State Agricultural Society were in 'Ogress yesterday in the Hall of the Capitol.— he Board meets to-day at 10 A. M. Quite a number of articles are entered, and ie exhibition promises to equal any previous le. The attendance from abroad will be large, rom all quarters of the State, already, there ere arrivals.

O’ The United States Circuit Court adjourned yesterday at 12i-£ P. M., until 9 A. M. to-day.— An important case against the city of Jeffersonville had been under consideration for a day or two. The question was, whether that city could, after submitting the matter to the legalized voters, three fourths of whom approved of the measure, come in and show, as a ground of refusing to pay certain bonds, that the required number of petitioners had not come forward asking the municipal legislature to proceed in the step. Beautiful Caligraphy.—We were shown yesterday some beautiful specimens of Caligraphy, by Mr. Leopold Schlinger. Nothing of the kind we ever saw surpassed them. Mr. Schlinger proposes to teach the art of penmanship, of which he is such a complete master. His specimens may be seen at the clothing store of M. Woolf, West Washington street, south side. We respectfully ask the attention of the public to them, and we sincerely hope that Mr. Schlinger’s eminent talents may be appreciated in this com-

munity.

What Madame Rumor says.—This gossiping old lady is spreading the story that a “skin flint” firm in this city who jew down their workmen and “grind the face of the poor,” has been giving their men a New Year’s present of some cheap oysters! The old lady refers significantly to the %oarm weather of last week when she speaks about those oysters! She says she never knew that concern to give their men anything; though she has known them to take from their men a portion of their honest earnings. There is an improbability, however, about this whole story: for we have no oysterman who would sell “cheap” or tainted oysters to be given away to mechanics in New Year’s presents; and to suppose that concern would pay full pries for oysters to give away is absurd—unless they expected every oyster would yield them two! O’ Perrine, the “indefatigable,” at his new store, ODD FELLOWS’ HALL, is continaally adding to his stock new editions direct from the publishers. His DIARIES FOR 1858, are the beet in the market, being from the manufactory of MERRIAM A MERRILL.

mm.T FOR THE dailt state sentinel.]

CwnjgresaiwmatL Wasbusoton, Jan. 6.

Senate.—Hunter and Too mb* naked, but tbe

Senate refused to excuse them, from serving on

the French Spoliation Bill Committee. The Senate then proceeded to the consideration

of the Crittenden resolutions in fnvor of increasing the duties on imports and substituting Home

for Foreign valuation.

Mr. Crittenden spoke as to there being no necessity for adopting such a measure. He did not believe the present law would produce an adequate amount of revenue for the support of the Government. An increase of five per cent, on woollen and cotton goods, would be sufficient to

afford all necessary protection.

Mr. Fitch moved an amendment, taxing all Bank notes without discrimination, against those of small denomination, so as to drive the latter

out of circulation.

On motion of Mr. Clay, the resolution and amendment were laid on the table. Mr. Simmons ^resented a petition from Kdwin M. Chaffe, praying the extension of his patent for preparing India rubber aud applying it without

the use of a solvent.

Mr. Pugh piesented a petition from citizens of Portsmouth, Ohio, praying to charter a National Bank for thirty years with a capital of sixty millions, and to increase the Tariff. Further business of no special importance was

transacted.

The Senate in Executive session to-day, were engaged nearly three hours in discussing the matters connected win the nomination of Mr. Sedgewi< k for U. S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, in place of McKoa, removed. While it is probable that the nomination will be confirmed. Those who intend voting in the affirmative will defjne their positioii, believing that the President has the rightful poeer to change the officer, but not justifying the removal for the reason alleged. The nomination of Clifford to fill the vacancy in the Supreme Court is still pending in the Sen-

ate.

House —J. Glancy Jones, from the Committee on Ways and Means, reported a bill of appropri ation for the support of Military Academics. The debate in the House to-day covering the defence of Commodore Paulding strengthens the belief that that officer will n t be recalled. Mr. Washburn, of Illinois, from the Committee on Commerce, reported a bill to further amend the act providing for the better security to the lives of passengers on board steam vessels ; the consideration of which was postponed until the first Monday in February. Mr. Clingmau, from the Committee on Foreign Affairs, reported a resolution, which was adopted, calling on the President to communicate, if not incompatible with the public interest, the correspondence between the Secretary of State and Paraguay and New Grenada ; also, between the Secretary of State and Brazil, relative to opening the river Amazon and negotiations of reciprocity or other treaty, and all correspondence on the subject of our relations with Spain, not heretofore made public. The House then went into a Committee of the Whole on the State of the Union on the President’s Message. Mr. Sickles wished to put on record his dissent from some of the positions assumed yesterday by gentlemen in debate. If members had been in a House of Representatives convened by Walker in Nicaaagua, they could not have listened to sentiments more in unison with the latter theory of government, and more at war with our own, than they were compelled to listen to in this Hall. They were told ti e Neutrality act of 1818 was unconstitutional, and against the principles of our people ; but, as he had read the history of our country, he had found the policy of that act was handed down from the days of Washington, and embodied in our Statutes from that day to the present time, and never had been dissented from by any Administration or party. Had gentlemen forgotten that Crampton was dismissed because he committed acts violative of the neutrality laws. He had supposed the whole country sus tained the wisdom and firmness of the Executive in the enforcement of the traditional policy of the Government in not permitting our own citizens, or representatives of any foreign power, great or small, to compromise the neutrality of the United States in regard to nations with whom we are at peace. We have made treaties with various powers in which we entered into stipula tions based on this very .Statute—that recently with New Grenada, and, aloo, a* rumor has it, with Nicaragua. Tie was surprised to hear it asserted that Naval officers had no right to go out in the high seas to capture violators of our laws. Had gentlemen forgotten that our Government is under a treaty of stipulations to maintain a naval force for the purpose of exercising police over all the seas to suppress the infamous slave traffic? This policy has been recognized by all Administrations and all parties, and he never heard it questioned before in connection with any such ex-

peditions.

It would be an offence against the good sense of the House to attempt to add any thing to the argument. It was significant that the expedition fitted out by Walker was to make war, take life and property within the limits of Nicaragua, with whom we had just made a treaty of amity and friendship. Instantaneously upon landing acts of hostility were perpetrated; men were shot down and property seized. Every writer on International law calls such conduct robbery and murder. No man would go further to recognize the right of American citizens to emigrate to foreign lands. If they wished to go peaceably to Central America, let them go. He desired to see the Isthmus Americanized, but such expeditions as that of Walker’s, who use such conduct, are not calculated to promote the interest of our people, so far as they are concerned, with the inter-

ests of Central America.

If the expedition was peaceful, as Walker in formed Secretary Cass it would be, their plow shares were turned into swords and pruning hooks into spears with such quickness as to throw suspicion on the sincerity of their professions. The presumption always was in favor of the conduct of officers in performing their duty at remote points; but this rule had been reversed, and all charges against Paulding are asked to be taken as admitted truths. He did not want Paulding’s act to be regarded as a precedent. There is no question in a technical point of view whether his act was illegal and exceeded his instructions; but he undoubtedly acted in accordance with what he believed was the spirit of his instructions, having reasonable belief that the Government regarded Walker’s expedition as unlawful. Gentlemen must not forget that Gen. Jackson passed into Spanish territory and arrested certain pet sons and hung them on the nearest tree. He was not recalled in disgrace. The President is fully alive to the interests of our people in connection with Central American Republics and the Isthmus, the highway of a large portion of the commerce of the world. He has shown every disposition to further these interests by the cultivation of kind and fraternal relations with those governments with a view to Americanize them as far as he can, and secure our people all the

advantages posible.

Ueder these circumstances, was it anything but treason for men to organize lawless expeditions and going there to make war on Republics with whom we are at peace? Mr. B iss’ intention was to call attention to another subject, which had deep interest in the hearts of his countrymen.— He did not mean the froth and outlaws of cities, but the masses who are interested in the perpetuation of our institutions, he must speak of what is commonly known as the Dred Scott decision which the President had endorsed and which official action the Government has confirmed. That decision he argued was in utter disregard to the rights of man and truth. History, when he reflected, the most absolute tyrants were firm supporters of the law. He conld feel no reverence for Judges who descended from their high posi dons to crush liberty under color of the constitution. Therein the doable treachery existed. Mr. Haskins said, at tbe proper time he would go as far as any other member in favor of a suspension of the neutrality laws, but not for the reason assigned by tbe question yesterday—the act of 1818 was passed to meet a case of the character now before them. If there is an inchoate treaty with Nicaragua by which we are to tect the transit ronte, the directions of the ident and Secretary of the Navy may save Paulding. The only party which can object to Paulding’s conduct is Nicaragua, a weak power, and which commends the act. The gentleman from Georgia, [Mr. Stephens] yesterday said, Walker was a better man than Paulding. H«a fans denied it, after referring to the principal events in Walker’s history, which did place him in an enviable light. He ^mke of Paulding in high terms. No act under this administration since the inauguration of the President, was more

The thanks of Congress and a medal were eminently due Paulding. Haskins remarked, while he was against individual fillibustering he was s national fillibuster —a believer in the Monroe doctrine and wanted those of tbe Ostend manifesto applied; when the nation will take the responsibility of seizing Cuba and suspending the neutrality laws he would go for it. The feeling of national Democrats is right. They believe they came by it naturally from the mother country; they believe tbe Government should by conquest do certain things; but this business of Walker was petty larceny. He (Haskins) was for national grand larceny, (laughter) aud declared himself a Hard shell

Democrat.

Mr Stephens in explanation, said he had cast no imputations on Paulding further than bis arrest of Walker justified, and that was without law or the color of 'aw; in that he was sustained. It was a great outrage. Haskins replied, although Paulding’s conduct might have been without authority, there were abuudent precedents to show that the American Congress and people have sustained acts morally right and technically wrong. He introduced a case, the declaration of martial law, by Jackson at New Orleans. Mr. Bocock said, Stephens had spoken of some of Walker’s men as lazy and louzy, and remarked that they were last seen in company with certain naval officers. He, Bocock, wished merely to observe, that his position in this and the former Congress, had bronght him in contact with naval officers, and he had never found any of them in that condition. If the gentleman from Georgia had, all he could say he was sorry for the

association.

Mr. Gilmer had seen nothing yet which could justify the course of argument involving so muck criticism on a gentleman whom history and character showed to be a praiseworthy officer of the navy. He had no doubt from the history of the past two years, that Paulding had acted under instructions. He dissented from Stephens in the view that there was impropriety in giving such instructions. After Walker had furnished bail to answer a criminal charge, in his opinion was an increased necessity after Walker had escaped, to issue instructions to the Naval and Federal offi cers to exercise additional vigilance. He humorously ridiculed the idea of sending Walker back in a national vessel and paying his expenses. The committee then rose and House adjourned. FOUR DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE. ARRIVAL QFTHEATLANTIC.

Sandy Hook, Jan. 6.

The steamer Atlantic has passed here, with Liverpool dates to the 23d ult., which is four days

later than previous advices.

The steamship Africa arrived out on the 20th,

and the Glasgow on the 22d.

The message of President Buchanan has been published in London and favorably criticised. Klingender & Bro’s, of Liverpool, have failed, with liabilities reaching half a million. Nothing later from India has been received. An earthquake has occurred at Naples, causing

great damage and loss of life.

New York, Jan. 5.

The Steamship Atlantic came up at 2 o’clock. The London Times endorses President Buchanan’s financial views, but says England should not abrogate the Central American treaty, without a guarantee for a re-enactment of its important provisions. The Post characterizes the Message as highly creditable to the moderation, judgment and public spirit of Mr. Buchanan. The Daily News praises his foreign and domestic policy, and condemns his Kans is views. The East India Company have been finally notified of the Minister’s intention to terminate the double government of India. There is little feeling in the London money market and discounts are readily made at 8 per cent. Additional by the Atlantic.

New York, Jan. 6.

Commercial affairs in Persia were improving. A great earthquake throughout the Kingdom had occurred, particularly in the towns of Saler mo Portensa and Nola Mimervas villages were half destroyed, and a dispatch says thousands were killed, but it is supposed to be exaggerated. The France Extraordinary says the trial of Madame Dejufosse, her two sons and her game keeper for the murder of Mr. Guillot had terminated in the acquittal of all the prisoners. The afiair was becoming a complicated one and attracted great attention throughout France. It was expected that the Bank of Franee would lower its rate of discount to five per cent, be-

fore the end of the year.

Further attempts to launch the Leviathan were postponed until the spring tide, at the commencement of January. The hydraulic power was to be more than double. The ship remained even and fair on the ways and at high tide had nearly six feet of water under her.
