We learn from the INew Albany Bulletin that a cumber of gentle men representing the different counties interested in the extension of the New Albany and Salem Rail Road, connecting it with the trade of the Northern Lakes, at Lafayette, In diana, met at Bloomington, on last Friday -wcck. iue most eniausiasuc feeling wis evinced in favor of the enterprise. The Hon P. C. Dunning and Lewis Boldman, Esq., ad dressed the people, taking high ground in fa or of the citizens in several counties through which it is intend to pass, of immediately subscribing for stock sufficient to carry it through, and in answer to the feeling thus expressed. the people responded in tokens of the most favorable and enthusiastic character. On Saturday, as the delegates were returning, and in passing through Lawrence county, . meeting was called at Bedford, at which the same good feeling seemed to animate the citizens in reference to the same subject. All expressed the deepest solicitude to see the work in such a state of progress as would authorize them to reach out their arms to emtrace the advantages resulting from its extension. On Monday last, at Orleans, in Orange county the citizens ofthat village and vicinity, had assembled and a general desire was manifested tolearn something concerning the history and character of the improvementwhen a meeting was called and explanations given by Mr. Brooks, touching the probable cost of the road and its advantages to the community. A proposition was presentedrnd voted open unanimously raising an amount of money sufficient to complete the sorvey of the Road from Sa lem to liediord, and it is in contemplation t" survey the route between the two points, at ' as early a day as practicable. 0TA fellow tried to play the ghost a few nights since in Cincinnati, by winding a sheet around him; but being caught, he was beat so severely that it is feared he will become ghost in earnest.

CGTThe State Journal learus from Colonel

Blake., pne of our Canal Trustees, who passed through Indianapolis on his return from Washington city, that Congress passed an act per mitting additional selections of land tobe made to aid in the completion of the Wabash and Erie Canal. Under its provisions it is estima ted that about one hundred thousand acres will be received for that object. TacvH Lcakihq Out. The editor of the Vanderburgh Democrat succeeded in his paper of Saturday last, in proving to his own satis faction, and, no doubt, to the satisfaction of the public, that the party with which he fra ternizes is no better than they should be that a 'Tory is synonymous with Robberand Mur derer." We have had our own opinion about this matter for some time, but we prefer al ways that our opponents should draw their own likenesses; they can paint nearer -to life than Whigs. According to the Democrat, the party who have all along succeeded "in de priting and defrauding the people of their just rights, and monopolizing them for their own benefit" is the "Tory party." So we think; but we can hardly believe the locofoco lead era and aspirants hereabouts will thank the editor for exposing their corruption just at this time, when they are busy in making their se lection of leaders for the approaching campaign. Every one knows w ithout being told by the Democrat that the locofoco party has been in power for the last twenty years or more, but few were prepared for his admission that during all that time the leaders have succeeded in "depriving and defrauding" the masses of their "just rights." It is true in our paper of Saturday morning we did publish a list of "privileges" in the shape of mint drops "monopoized" by thirty-seven "Tories" or "Robbers," if that term suits the Democrat better members of the locofoco convention which nominated Air. Polk, amounting to the very respectable sum of six hundred and ninety-six thou sand, five hundred and bixty-cight dollars and fifty-six cents, or nearly nineteen thousand dol lars a head. A pretty round price for lecofoco skulls it must be admitted, and rather more than the editor of the Democrat thinks they are worth, no doubt; hence his cry against the Robbers. Fearing the list we published on Saturday which, no doubt, caused the great outcry of the Democrat may have been overooked by some, we here append it, and re quest that it be remembered that the list con tains the names of only thirty seven out of two hundred and seventy five delegates who at tended the convention and nominated Mr. oik. The others are no doubt provided for, and the aggregate could be swelled to millions if the same facilities were open to the people that are enjoyed by Mr. Polk: DrUgate to (A Baltimore Con vn Hon in May, 1S44. wuo have bcn rewaraM by ALr. 2 out, ana (M amount of th public taonty which each hat received or vill Tceif during kit AJminist'Mtioa.

Brewster, Cherokee Commissioner-2,9C0 00 With this list starring the editor of the Dem ocrat in the face, it is not surprising to see him come down flat-footed upon the "Robbers" of the Treasury. To acknowledge the truth we have been for some time expecting "aid" from that quarter in exposing the corruptions of the "Tory" party. As none know better than the locofocos themselves tha many ways their lead ers have of "defrauding the people of their just rights and privileges," so none are more capa Die oi exposing mem; ana we rejoice tnat in the coming contest we are to have the aid of the editor of the Democrat. Another table which has just met our eye and which, no doubt, the Democrat has pasted in his scrap book taken from an official re port of the Adjutant General, will satisfy the reader why, according to the Democrat, a loco cofoco, or "Tory" is synonymous with "Mur derer." The Democrat has no intention of doins thinasbv halves. If the leaders of the lo cofoco party are "Murderers" as well as "Robbers" and "Tories," he will tell them so. Fearing, however, he may not be able to find room for all the evidence that can be brought against them, we deem it our duty to come to his assistance, and we accordingly annex the following glowing catalogue; and invite public attention toil. Let it be carefully studied. ' If the people would know the numbers of households that hare been desolated and the widows and

orphans that have been left to subsist upon the

cold charity of the world, let them study the following. The country knows at whose in stance all this was brought about : We think with the editor of the Democra that he has "sketched" the Locofoco or "Tory'' party very correctly, and that the party hare been true to their name all along, in depriv ing and defrauding the people of their just rights and privileges, and monopolizing them for their own benefit. When the United States declared themselves independent, the Tory party in England held tbe reins of government, oeuce, all the Ameri cans who supported the British against the States, were called Tories. Van. Democrat. My dear Sir, unless you are a little more care. ful how you flourish your pen you will lose the publishing of the U. S. Land Sales. Don't you know that Old Zeke Polk, the grand-dad of James K., was the greatest friend to the British in all the State of North Carolina, and that he was actually caught in the British camp, giving "aid and comfort" to the enemy? Unless you are careful how you revive such unpleasant reminiscences your head will roll in the dust. This County is decidedly dt mocratic. Van. Democrat. We agree with you neighbor, but it aint lo cofoco by a long shot. A Governor Presented. The Grand Jury for the county of St. Louis, have presented Governor J. C. Edwards, of the State of Missouri, for the very reckless manner in which he has exercised the pardoning power since he has been in office. The St. Louis Republican publishes th; presentment with a list of fifty names men committed for Isrceny, burglary, coun terfeiting, embezeling, swindling, negro steal ing, manslaughter and murder! The Republican remarks: "The proceeding is an unusual one, but certainly no rebuke was ever more justly deserved. The Grand Jury might well nave brought down their examination of the cases of Executive clemency, without justification, te a much later period, because scarcely a week has passed in which this power has not been exercised. We do not supt ose that the Governor, who is soon to go out of office, will pay much heed to the presentment, but it may have a salutary effect upon the official conduct of the person who may be chosen to succeed him. ISTEUESTISO FROM GACDALUPE. The N. 0 National of the 19th inst. has the following interesting item of. news from the Island of Gaudalupe: By an arrival this morning from the Isle of üaiulalupe we are placed in possession of in telligence to the 2öth ult. YVe have accounts from Fointe-a-Petre, which state thateverything there is in the ereatesi aguauon, no one Knowing wnat is tc nappen next. It was known there that a vessel had left France, having on board seven delegates from the Provisional Government, who, it was said, would proclaim libertv on their arrival. 11 was learecl tnere would be a general revolt in the colony on their arrival. Already many workmen have" refused to work, asserting that they are free, and that if they do not obtain liberty from France, they know how to obtain it by force of arms. It was reported at Pointe-a-Petre that there was already fighting in Martinique. Some days previous to the sailing of the vessel which brings this intelligence the black population forced the door ol the Albines (?) with axes and clubs. All the troops were immediately ordered out, and a revolt had very nearly ommenced. Almost every morning placards are seen in public places, bearing the words "Death to the whites!' and similar threats. In short, everything seems to portend most violent consequences. The accounts represent a great want of flour, oil, and other provisi ns. Everything sells at an enormous price, and money is not to be bad. We look with anxious interest for the next advices. Another State. The bill admitting Wisconsin into the Union has passed both branches of Congress. Uncle Sam's family is now composed of thirty thriving daughters,, with a fine prospect of more. V S .

IOWA ELECTION STRANGE DOINGS. The last Ifawkeye contains a letter from

owa City, dated on the 12th inst., gives an ac count of the official examination of the vote or superintendent of Public Instruction. Iarlak and Bestoj were both present with their counsel. The office was crowded with spectators. Governor Baioos was the presid ing officer. The Secretary of State announced that the Board was organized, and would pro ceed to business. A bundle of papers suppos ed to contain an unseen transcript of the vote in the several counties, was presented by the Secretary. But the papers were discovered to have been previously opened, refolded and fil ed, iu regular order. The Secretary also pre sented an abstract of the entire vote of the the State, which he said he had previously made out, and believed tobe correct. The correspondent proceeds: At the first glanc; we perceived that no less man six columns v ere used in noting me vote . t a for Ben tou and Harlan: one for Thomas II. Btnton, one for James Harlan, James Harland James Harlcn, James Harlin, James Hartan (The appearing to have been crossed in the returns lrom Washington county.) Ihe re turns were, then taken up, one by one, exam ined, and declared correct, a? noted on bis gen eral abstract, and laid aside by the Secretary. lie here announced that he bad received uou ble returns from some of the counties. Mr Harlan's counsel inquired the cause. Here plied that the first returns received bud been found informal, and that he had written for others, which he had accordingly received. As this farce of an examination proceeded the rounsel for Harlan protested against regard ing each variation in the orthography of his name as the name of a distinct person. But the Board insisted that the strict letter of the record must be abided; that if the Commis sioners Clerks had written the name H-a-r l-a-n, l-i-n, or 1-a-n-d, they had no power to say H-a-r-l-a-n was meant; that if they, (the Clerks) nut t in the name, the Board had no right to call it I. The counsel for Harlan then insisted that the same rule should be applied to Mr. JJenton. that as some of the counties re turned voted for Thomas II. Denton, jr., and others for Thomas II. lientvn, a double col umn should be opened and each variation re carded as a distinct person. But here the Board of canvassers decided that but one per son was meant, and that all such votes should be counted for him. Thus flatly violating the rule in reference to Benton., which they ap plied with unrielding tenacity to Mr. liar lan. Harlau's counsel moved to reject the returns from one county, because it was illegal; the paper showing on its face, that the Loumis sionera' Clerk had cleartv violated the law rev ulating his duty: and also because it was u false transcript of the record of the county from which it came. But this motion was overrul ed. It was moved to correct the return from ano' her courity because it was flatly false; re turning the vote of what purported to be two preciiicts tnai are neitner in tne county, norm any county attached mere to for election purpo ses; which the mover stood prepared to prove But this motion was rejected. It was then moved to correct the return from another county, because it contained fewer votes fo Harlan than he had received: and in nroo prayrd leave to present thigümony of the officers of the townshipand countv where the vote was passed: But this was also denied. It was then moved to reject the return from an other county, because there bad been no lega election held; the election not having been ad vertised as the law directs, the judges and clerk? of the township not having been sworn and their returns not having been certified to as to tneir correctness ; and as proof the ev idencc of the Commissioners' Clerk was of fered with the broad seal of the county. But this was likewise rejected. And now, Messrs. Editors, what Is to be said of these strange proceedings? Of this paloable violation of law, of justice, and of du ty! lhe taw says that at the end ol forty days the Secretary shall proceed to open these re turns in the presence of the Governor, if said re turns are not sooner received, shall examine, &c. e would have expected then that sworn officer of State would have regarded the seal as sacred until the appointed day, and that if anv return should have been opened by accident, it would hare been carefully laid away, and as soon as its contents were known unexamined and unadjuditated. But what wasoursurprise to see and to learn from the lips of the beeret a ry himself, that be bad received, opened, examined, counted, adjudicat ed and condemned returns in advance of the day appointed by himself for said examination, as the law directs, in presence of the uoveru or to which examination he had notified the parties interested to attend; that he had not only thus violated the law and his dutr, in ope ning, examining and counting, adjudicating and condemning some of these returns, in the absence of the Governor anc all th? parties in terested; but bad also sent and written to counties for amended returns according to his own caprice. Aud after these second returns were received, again constituted himself a board for re examination; had completed the whole labor, made out abstract and filed away the papers. At this stage of the game we were invited to see the returns opened and ejramtn ed in the presence of the Governor. lf Mr. Harlan could have been heard, he was prepared to prove that he had received a clear majority over ii.nton of all the votes polled in the organized counties in the State and tern to ry attached thereto for election purposes, and besought the Executive and Secretary leave to do so. But this reasonable and just request was denied. The case was predetermined! And now that he is clearly elected a second time to this olhre, by a majority of the voters of the State and if we say legal voters, by an overwhelming majority, still another will be declared the successful candidate will, proba bly, in our corrupt times, receive the honors and emoluments of the omce. Important from Yucatajt. La Patria of 12th has letters from Cam peachy to the 2Sth. We translate for the Tribune as follows: "We are going on badly here, very badly; in spite of the treaty celebrated between the Gov ernor Barbachano and the Indian Pat, the In diacshave entered the territory of this Pror ince, and have seized Iterbide and Chibalchem, distant towns twenty leagues from this city which were deserted in the most cowardly manner, by the troops appointed to defend them. In fact, the Indians can now go thro' every part ot the whole country, for all the soldiers have come here to seek refuse, and I believe that if the Indian force were to surround this place the walls would not be strong enough to contain the fear of these valiant troops.

Votino in Fbasce. There seems to be . W

pipe-laying going on among tne i-ocoiocos 01 France. The following is state3 in a letter in the New York Courier and Enquirer to be the method adopted in France for voting: dividual claiming to vote presents him co I f t th "Maine." of his "Arrondiscmcnt and there receives an electoral ticket, which entitles him to deposite his vote in the ballot box. But as no precaution is taaeu uj let tering the name of each person or the like) to prevent the same individual from returning as often as he pleases, either to the same or to several t43Iairics" in succession, the practical result is that each individual is able to give as many votes as he has obtained tickets, and I am informed that this abuse is carried on to such an extent in the departments that agents are to be seen busily at work in selling the tickets so obtained, at prices varying from five to twenty francs, according to circumstances. 1 ' General Worth has always been a consistent Democrat. He warmly advocated the election of Gen. Jackson, and also that of Van Bu ren and Polk. We mention this, because the Evansville Journal states that he has been a Whig till very recently. Vanderburgh Dem ocrat. We certainly did state that Worth had been a Whig until very recently, and we stated what is known to every man, Whig or loco in the Union, except the editor of the Democrat, to be true. Worth changed his coat on landing at Vera Cruz. Canal Letting. The letting of forty miles of the Wabash and Erie Canal, extending from this place to Point Commerce, takes place on Wednesday next, the day our paper goes to press, and from the number of gentlemen already here, (Monday evening) we presume the bidding will be spirited and brought down to the closest margin. Mr. Chas. Butler has not yet arrived, though he is exjected by Wednesday morning. A. M. Puett, Esq., Trustee on the part of the State, has been here for several days, part of the time confined to his room by mdispositiou Col. Blake has recently returned from Wash ington at which place he was called to attend to the interests of the canal, and he brings back the good news of the passage of a bill through both Houses of Congress, granting sixty or eighty thouiond acres of land more to this verv important work. This laud was claimed and obtained as belonging to the original grant. between a straight line and the rWnt sinuosities of the caual. This, of course, will materially aid the early prosecution of the canal lo its southern terminus. We notice also, that Mr. J. L. Williams, the chief engineer, i here, and the whole corps busily engaged iu making out plans, specifications, &c, &c. We thing if lellings came often, these gentlemen would have but little time for reires.hing sleep so also with the Board of Trustees. Before the lapse of a great many mouths, we hope to have the pleasure of announcing tne arrival 01 a ueet 01 canal boats at the port of Terre-Haute, at which time we will take great pleasure in celebrating the event in any appropriate manner. uuoasi express. ? . TT' I f T", - The American Route to Canton. If our Congress acts upon Mr. Kins's bill to establish a steamship communication with China, in connexion with the line to Columbia river. Canton will be brought within eleven thous and miles of the principal sea-ports of the U. States, and with a moderate estimate for time, the traveller from Canton to London will find to take the 'American rather than the British lines.. The distance travelled in going roand either of the capes is from eighteen to twenty thousand miles. The facilities for obtaining coal on the Pacific side, for the use of the steamships, are represented as even greater than on the Atlantic, there be ing an abundance of it in many places, This project is so feasible that there scarcely exists a doubt that it will be soon undertaken. What a value the trade of China would soon impart to our newly-acquired territories on the Pacific, and what an impulse would be given generally to American commerce. Philad. Lchgcr. SHERIFF Sale.

The Progress or the G laches. The following extract gives a melancholy picture

of the gradual enlargement and extension of the Glaciers, an enemy by which however slowly and silently the fertile valleya of the Alps in Switzerland, would seem destined, ultimately, to be overwhelmed and lost to man; it is from the 'Switzerland in 1847 of Theodore Mugge, recently transit ted liom the German, and published in England: "In travelling through the Kander Valley, I had the company of a pleasant, intelligent man, -a Pastor, who, in spite of. rain and wind, gare me a great deal of information respecting the mode of life of the people of his parish, as well as concerning the Moan tains around, with which he appeared thor oughly acquaiuted. He confirmed the account that I have invariably heard from inhabitants of the country, that the glaciers and masses of ice on ihe Alps, are constantly increasing, and the pasture land diminishing in the same proportion. Many a valley he was himself acquainted with, which in the last century fed latge herds of cattle, where now scarcely a sing! head can pick op a scanty subsistence; Thus, for instance, the Gasier Valley a hundred years ago afforded pasture for six hundred cows, during the summer; fifty years ago, about half that number could find food; now it will barely support seventy, This same complaint I heard repeated in many (litl'erent quarters, by the herdsman on the Furka and in the Grlsons. The ice and snow are continually augmenting, the glaciers are pressing down more and more into the valleys, and filling them up; the temperature is sinking, the soil deteriorating and growing marshy. What can be the cause of this alarming change?
