DAILY JOURNAL. A. H. SANDERS, EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR.

CITY OP BY AffBVILLE: TUESDAY MOBBING. MARCH 26. r Election Ticket. We fcre prepared to receive orders for Election Tickets of erery complexion; which will be printed with dispatch and on reasonable terms. Send 'em on. Gen. Lane. . By the Democrat of Saturday, which by the way is no authority eo far as any of the movements of the Democratic party in this region ere concerned, says that Gen. Lane is expected to arrive here in a few weeks, being now on his way from Oregon. The Democrat says " Gen. Lane comes home at the solicitation of his friends and fellow-citizens in several of the States famonjr. which we have heard named Vermont, Ohio, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Missouri, Kentucky and Indiana) to run for the Presidency." If Gen. Lane is coming home for this purpose he has much less sense than even his enemies have accorded him. The citizens of not one of the States mentioned, have proposed him for a candidate. The Democratic Represen fatives of this State'went so far as to herald forth his name as a. proper candidate for the Presidency, but they only did so to remove a formidable opponent In minor offices. The idea of Joe. Lane running for the Presidency, is too superlatively ridiculous for even his own approval. None of the Stafes, it we may excent our own. has asked him to return . We can speak for his friends of this county, hia own home, when we say, that it is a matter of great surprise to them that any one should have sufficient political boldness to mention his name in connection with the Presidency. He had better remain in Oregon, where he says he is making money, than return here with any such ridiculous aspirations as that ol either being run or elected to the Presi dency. Information Wanted. A young lady living in the neighborhood of Caledonia, 111., named Eliza Comstock, is desirous of attaining information relative to her brother William, from whom she has been separated sometime. Hs is supposed to be in N. York. Miss C. is a pretty and interesting young Utdy, but is now laboring in the capacity of a servant girl, while she has relatives whom if she could find, could lend her a gcod support. She has connections in Cincinnati and St. Louis, but is particularly desirous of finding her brother. Our galiant Cincinnati and N. York cotemporaries will be doing, a most gallant act, by itemizing this. Where u William ? Ma. Zalma Block: Has lately been appointed Agent of the Post office Department at Cairo, III., in place of J. W. Work, resigned. The contention for this agency, of late has raged to an almost ungovernab'e extent, but, looking upon the present incumbent of that office as an efficient and accomodating man, we presume the strife will for 8 time cease. It is highly important that a prompt and capable man should be the mail agent at the mouth of the Ohio, as that point is the terminus of River route 5005 from Louisvillej Ky on which all intermediate P. Offices mainly depend for the receipt and transportation of their mails. Mr. Work. Mr. Block's predecessor, proved a faithful officer one who paid all necessary attention to the proper disposal of such mails as come under his charge. Temperance Lectures. On Sunday afternoon the Rev. Mr. McCaber delivered a discourse on Temperance, at his Church. There was a large attendance. We had the pleasure of listening to his remarks, and were much gratified with the firmness of his posi tions, and the general liberality of his views, There was nothing approaching the ultra or personal in his discourse, or anything in itcal culated to give offence to those entertaining different opinions. It was a manly, dignified effort, founded upon a christian spirit. The i - preroration was beautiful and affecting. The Rev. Mr. Goodwin, delivered at his church, a discourse on the same subject in the evening. We were not present, but have heard it spoken of in the highest terms of praise. Had these lectures contained anything verging upen ultraism or personality, they would have had a contrary affect to what they were intended, but as it was, those who heard them were pleased. C5The Telegraph wires were put up on White River last week, after a delay of sev eral days, and have been in order 6eveaal days. But they are again down, and as is supposed at the same place, the river being high. This section of the line has been remarkable for its freedom from accidents here tofoi e, it having from the start continued in good order, while almost every other line in the country has been occasionally stopped by breakage ot wires, &c. Jl3"Mr. Morse, one of the Democratic Representatives in Congress from Indiaim announced with exultation on the 13th inst.! upon the floor of the House that Texas had appointed delegates to the Nashville conven f i . . uon ana naa not instructed them to against the dissolution of the Union. go i-UP AUC axcwuia nam uere irom Louis?frla on Sunday.and the officers left us a large .''paekage of papers, for which attention we ;l stand indebted.

Proscription. j Notice has been given by Mr. Bradbury, of

the Senate, that he would move his resolution in relation to removals from office by the present administration, be taken up on the 15th. With the Washington Republic, we hope the resolution will be taken up, and fully and fairly discussed. This administration will fear no scrutiny no comparison with any preceding administration. The falsehoods, misrepresentations and calumny .of Democratic orators and presses, on the subject of re movals by Gen. Taylor, should now cease, and a debate in the U. S. Senate will vindicate the President. We jrive the Democrats credit for a reviving morality, which has long laid dormant in their bosoms. During the late administration, they never knew how dreadful in its moral character was the pro scription which t hey supported. They never thought that the power which filled the offices ofthecountiy with men of the Democratic party alone, could be the father of a jingle iniquitous and unrightous act. They looked on complacently while they undisturbedly fed at the public trough, and seemed to think this the age of justice and good living. But no sooner dees this administration say to some of these men get away from that trough, and let a few Whigs feed in your place than the moral feelings of these martyrs are shocked beyond description. That which in a far more exaggerated form, they once viewed as the refinement of righteous justice, they now turn up their eyes at, as something too abominable for christian endurance. How they have abused Gen. Taylor for proscription ! What rage they have indulged in what falsehoods they have spoken and penned what billingsgate they have given utterance to and all because the President, in looking over the country saw nearly every office in it filled by members ot one party, while in justice they should have been divided be tween the two, and he endeavored to accom' plish this justice. Till his task be fully performed, we hope the arm of proscription will not be stayed. Electric Light. The Philadelphia Ledger describes a new application of the Electric Battery to the production of light which is very curious and very successtul. The ight is ot the most intense nature, so bright as to render it almost as impossible to look at it directly as at the rays of the sun. The gas-light was burning in the room where it was exhibited, but the electric light was so much stronger as to give a perfectly black shadow upon the wall of the pipe which held the gas-Jight. It is produced by an electric battery ot nearly tilty cups,acting upon charcoal points. There seems no obstacle to every man producing his own light in this manner. We publish the above, that the reader may perceive how heedless 6ome people are in respect to what is transpiring in the world even editors of popular journals. Has not the editor of the Ledger heard that Professor Sanders, of the Memphis Institute invented) and took to Europe, and there patented an Electric Light? Does not the editor of the Ledger know, that this 6ame light has crea ted quite a sensation in England and France and not a little excitement in this country and that the inventor sold this light in Eng land to a man who is now exhibiting it and selling it as his own invention 1 These things the Ledger editor ought to know, if he notes the various discoveries and inventions daily published in the pnpers. And now at this late day, when the invention of Professor Sanders is adopted in the Mines and Light Houses of England and France, the Ledger editor comes out ami announces as a new thing, a light produced from electricity ! Through the developments made in a late law-suit, the name of Professor J. Milton Sanders was necessarily brought before the European public, as the inventor of the Electric Light; and his name now as a Chemist and Electrician is known there to all those who devote any time or interest to science. " Honor to whom'honor is due." Memphis Express. The mammoth steamer Uncle Sam arrived at Cairo from New Orleans on the evening of the 21st inst., crowded with freight and pas sengers. Among her passengers were five hundred and seventy Mormon emigrants, late from England, destined forSalt Lake. There was but cnecase of sickness during the trip of the boat to Cairo, among this immense number of persons. The Uncle Sam had on board 12C0 tons of freight the largest cargo, perhaps ever carried between New Orleans and St. Lou is. Hardware, Mr. Griffith advertises his assortment of Hardware, in to-day's paper. Those who call on him will find everything in his line required, and they will not complain of prices. Examine his goods. S3"On Sunday, a roan three-fourths under the influence of spirited beverages, tumbled overboard from one of our wharf boats, and was rescued only with much difficulty. He offered a beautiful commentary on the lectures of the same day. One of 'em. The Boston Post tells a sto ry $f a man who, after taking into his employ a female ten-ant, sat down in his parlor one evening wth a couple of neighbors and his Wife to a civil game of whist. The next morning the new "h.elp" oDservea "mai cara playing must be put a stop to, or she should be obliged to leave, as she dul'ßt approve of the practice; and never allawtd ft families where she hved JC?" We thank the clerk of.the Pennsylvania for full files of Cincinnati and Louisville

papers left us on Saturdav.

Preachers Excited. During the exciting race trtween the Pon

tiac and Gen. Washington, ir? which the pas sengers' were in a perfect phrenzy, and ready to fight, owing to unfair play, there were three ministers on board the former boat. who went fully into the excitement of the 6cene. One of them, an old ere? haired vet eran of the Cross, remarked as the boats were side by side and passengers chsenng and swearing, that although it would be inconsis tent with the whole course of hij fife and his profession, yet if the passengers on the ether boat ielt like fighting, just let them 6ay the word, and he would show them what an old man could do. A young minister grew perfectly feverish, and his voice could be. heard first and above all others when the cheering commenced. The third was highly excited or oppressed according to circumstances. This shows that steamboat races are the most exciting of all public amusements. Steamboat Racing. The Pontiac and Gen. Washington, St. Louis packets, had a long race on their last trip from that city, and proved themselves precisely equal in speed. There was great excitement among officers end passengers, all of whom come near engaging in a general ' muss. " The Belle Key and Bostona passed here early yesterday morning, without stopping, on a race, and almost obscured in the smoke of coil and pine knots, the Belle Key three miles ahead. When this racing thus interferes with boats stopping at a place of the importance of this, and where passengers and freight are nearly always waitingit should be rebuked. The Belle Key left N. Orleans on Wednesday the 20th. We do not know what time the Bostona left. Tl is was undoubtedly quick time. The former boat, as we learn by a telegraphic dispatch made the quickest time to Memphis on record. Postmaster Imprisoned. We learn from a gentleman from the neighborhood of Blandville, Ky., that the Postmaster ofthat place is now in prison, for robbing the mail. A few days back, we published an item from the Paducah Journal, stating that on the route of which Blandville is one of the offices, sums of money had been abstracted from the mail. A trap was laid by a special Agent from the Departmentjto detect the robber. Said package, made up in such a manner, as to have the appearance of containing money, was followed up, and found in the Blandville office. It was laid on a 6helf, and cpened, but the contents were still there. The Postmaster, said it had accidentally dropped from the mail, and was not discovered till it had left. The package was then laid away for the next mail. These are the lacts of the case. The Postmaster has been believed a man of integrity, and in our personal intercourse with him in the transaction of business, we have always found him such. JCf-Onthe 1st of March, d uring the snow storm, a tremendous thunderbolt fell upon an imrnense oak tree in Windsor, Conn., ground pans of it to powder, and scattered the frag ments including the roots, over eight or ten acres of pasture. Some pieces were found one hundred rods off. So savs the Boston Pest. Distressing Casualty. On Friday week, at Richmond, Va., a little daughter of Mr. Carr, toll gatherer on Mayo's bridge, accidently fell off into the river. The agonized father plunged in to rescue his child, but sad to relate, they both perished. ItfThe first breach of promise case ever tried in Louisiana has just come off before the Supreme Court ofthat State. Damage ob tained, $1,000, but 20,000 were claimed. Few suits of that kind are brought in the South. lEf'The Secretary of War has made a re port in relat ion to the army employed in Mexico. Of the 15,737 men of the old line, 800 were either killed or mortally wonnded. Of the 73.260 volunteers, 600 only were killed or mortally wounded showing a difference of five to one. AtMolinodel Rey, in two hours 706 men were killed and wounded. AtBuena Vista, which lasted two dads. Gen. Taylor's loss was 674, Ü2"It appears by the report made by the Secretary ol the State of New York that there are articles of association filed in his office contemplating the construction of more than 2000 miles cf Plank Road, and involv ing the expenditure of about $3,000.000 of money. New Ccnard Steamship. The Asia, the new steamship for the Cunard line, has been launched at Greenock. She is 265 feet in length, 37 in breadth, and measures 2226 N. M. ; being 400 tons larger than those last built for her owners. She is 17 feet longer and 4 wider. She is to be commanded by Capt. Judkins. STTMr. H enry Grinnell's arctic expedition is likely to get under aay. Several officers of the expedition have volunteered their services, and the benevolent projector of the enterprise says that he is determined to carry it out, co6t what it may. Oregon. The Oregon was here on Sunday, bringing up N. Orleans dates of the 18th. She made a short stoppage. For a budget of papers we -kindly thank Mr. Brown, first clerk. U3" A note for $460 was found last Sunday, with three endorsers. Who lost it?

Correspondence of ihe Baltimore Sun. Washington, March 18. Tilings no Worse Mr. Webster SustainedMr. Clay going irilh him The New Whig Ticket Another plan of Settlement, If it is true, that getting no worse is equivalent tor "getting better," then we are alreay pretty well to do. We are getting no worse and that is something. A few Whigs have already shown their hands; some .endorsing Mr. Webster's position ; others agreeing with the message of the President, Mr. Williams, of West Tennessee, took Mr. Webster's position, and delivered a moderate, patriotic, sensible ßpeech, which met the approbation of every lover of

peace and order in the House; while Mr. Ca sey, ot Pennsylvania, endorsed General lav lor's puttform. Mr. Williau.s is an eloquent man. who always commands the attention of the House, because there is that in his manner which convinces you that he is sincere, and not easily shaken in his principles. His opinions will, no doubt, command an exten sive influence on the settlement of the ques tion. Mr. Giddings talked his hour against the annihilation of the Free Soil party. He is afraid the question will be settled without him; and that when the tide shall recede he will be left a dead crawfish on the branch; or, to use another figure, he wants the tickling to continue as is the veriOer of itch-oint-ment. From present appearances there is no doubt but that JNlr. Webster's position will be tri umphantly sustain in New England and New York; and that the Administration will have to adopt his platform. I have reason to know that the veteran patriot Clay himself will sustain Mr. Webster, setting the country a noble example disinterestedness and genuine patriotism, Uoth Mr. Clav and Mr. Web ster will probably reply to Mr. Seward. Mr. Badger was to-day quoting the Bible against him. Mr. Seward will answer him that the Bible is a very good book' but that there are situations in the lite of a New York politicion which may render it necessary for him to look for the justification of his acts to some other authority. Perhaps Mr. Seward, who is the best judge of circumstances, will grant indulgencies to his followers. I gave you. in my letter of yesterday, the new Whig ticket which it is proposed to run in 1S52. I meant no-disrespect to Mr. Web ster when 1 put him as Vice President on the ticket with Mr. Clay. Either Webster or Clay for President would make a strong ticket, while the Presidency itself could not add a tittle to the reputation and standing of either. Mr. Websier has now more influence on public afiuirs than the Fresidentof the United States. Such men as Clay and Webster make public opinion the true sovereign of this enunSry. Mr. McCIernand, of Illinois, has also given his attention and industry to the plan of settlement which will command the attention of Congress. He will offer it shortly, in shape of resolutions. He means to settle the whole question at the same time, which, by-the-by, is the only way of settling it effectually. Mr. McClernand's plan will not materially differ from Mr. Webster's; at least not so far from it, that they cannot be blended together. His views about the Mormon settlements are altogether original and well considered. He is for limiting their Territory and for establishing a Territorial acquired from Mexico, after California or Deseret (or rather Utah) shall have been taken away from it. His Northern boundry ot Texas (Southern boundry of New Mexico) would b aline down from Paso to a point a littie North of 34 deg. North Irtitude; the Terro-y thus surrenders 1 by Texasto be paid for by the United States. E3 There is no business which has made so many large fortunes as printing a newspaper, but these fortunes are made for other persons by advertising for them; not by the prin'er himself. The business man who real ly understands his business, is well aware of the great secret to success to keep his name continually before the public, feeling well assured that the public cannot forget a narre which it constantly sees. It is well known among nostrum dealers, that the amount of their 6ales are in a direct ratio to the amount of their advertising, and that for every ten cents they pay the printer, they invariably realize one dollar in return. S;i is it with every business give the printer ten cent3 in advertising, and you will get your dollar for it in the end. More Doctors. No less than one hundred and eleven students received diplomas at the annual commencement of the N. Y. University, on Friday week, and the degree of M. D. was conferred upon 34 graduates at the Pennsylvania Medical College in Philadelphia, the same day. On Saturday, the Jefferson Medical College, in Philadelphia, had its annual commencement also. The candidates for the honors of this unprecedently prosperous institution, numbered 211, forming the largest medical class that ever graduated in the United States. Cannelton, Troy and Jasper Plank Road. Subscriptions to this have been made very liberally. The amount of stock taken in this place, we understand is about $S,000 already, or more than is sufficient to ensure an organization for the road between this place and Troy At the latter place we learn that between $6,000 and $7.000 in stock were taken at the outset, and at Jasper we are informed that $14,000 and upwards were subscribed immediately on the opening of books. How much 6tock has been taken by the other towns upon the line we are not informed, but we leel every assurance, that the work will go rapidly forward. Cannelton Economist. Jenny Lind. A friend fsays the Boston Transceipt who recently encountered Jßarnum on board of one of the Norwich boats, and who was shown all the documents relating to the engagement with Jenny Lind, informs us that she writes English with much propriety, and her letters give a favorable idea of her womanly character. She asks Mr. Barnum to "save her lrom her triends ;" in othet words, to protect her from the many well-meaning people who always crowd to make her acquaintance, and rob hor of the time essential to practice or to repose. She writes, that while not performing, she would like to be located iu some quiet, secluded village, where she could have " a lew poor families to visit, and be spared fashionable intrusions;."

Steamer Kiel The Louisville Courier o.

the following account of the i steamer Richland, to which we yesterday : Steamer Richland Scnkontl The steamer Richland, Capt. llu on the falls Thursday night in attem cross the river from Jettersonville dun prevalence of a fog. She had dischar. cargo of grain at Carrohon, at the niout. Kentucky river, and was returning on ti way to the Wabash. She had lauded at Jeflersonville. and while trying to cross to this side in the fog drifted on the falls and struck the rocky shore just above the lime kiln, which stove in her stern, and caused her to leak so badlp that she sunk. It is supposed that some of her timbers are broken. The boat had no freight in her. She lies bow up stream, one guard on shore, the lower guard in about 5 feet water. The machinery, and possibly the boat can be saved. She is an old boat, however, and not very valuable. Musical Rivalry. Yesterday morning, the steamers James Millingar and Mt. Vernon, were about starting for St. Louis. The former had a band, the latter a whistle. Of course the whistle made the most noise. The friends of the band, however, sent for the Mayor, who went to the wharf and listened. At length he opened his mouth and spoke as follows : "That there drum is Injun, the horn is French, the clarionett is Dutch, and the whistle is American. So hurrah for the whistle." The Alt. Vernon gained the victory. Pitts. Post. Sad Accident Four Men Drowned An esteemed friend writing us from Troy, la., under date of 20th inst., gives the follow ing account of a melancholy accident that happened near that place: 1 have learned that four men three Ger marts and one Englishman were, a few hours since, drowned in attempting to cross Anderson's River, about one and a half miles east of this place, in a small craft built in the lorm ot a terry boat. Bepreus. Itice and Grass were the names of the three Germans. The Englishman's uarne I have not learned. Lou. Cour. Expensive Gabble. A Georgia paper makes the following extract and comment : "in the ilemucky convention one man spoke 200 times, another ISO, and another 100." There were a few members in the Georgia Legislature who beat the above "all hollow." It is estimated that one gentleman made on an average, seven speeches per day lor eighty-seven days, being six hundred and nine speeches during the session ! The cost of these speeches to the Treasury could not have been much under eighteen thousand dollars. To Preserve Beef Steaks As the warm season is fast approaching, when meat cannot be kept for more than a day or two in a fresh state, it will be of no inconsiderable benefit to many to be informed, that if fresh meat is rolled up in Indian corn meal, it willkeen tresh lor lour or five days.
