our Minister to Prussia, of a lato date, I and which contains matter I deem, well
worthy of the consideration of the citixens of our State, and especially of that zcuaui m oi c, ai ic iic portion of them residing in Southern Indiana. It is very evident from the comtnunication inclosed, and a fact wel' known to our most intelligent men, that there isj (as remarked by the GoTernor.) ' leas known at home and abroad of Indi i hS M-ÜLüJes and resources, than I ,. t.ftTTnW r,.tb-rthi j - jewing to (he fict, that no effort have been made, to give the necewary information, whether relying upon our own knowledire of our "capabilities and resources" and presuming that every one else at home or abroad must of necessity. be as well acquainted with them as ourselves; or whether knowing them ourselves, we do notxare that others should be informed of them. Whether one or all of these cases have operated in pre venting the emigration here, which is flowing into all the region North and West of us, I do not presume to say. But the (act unquestionably is that at home and abroad, the "resources and ca pabilitics of other States Illinois, Michi gan, Wisconsin, Iowa, wen those of the Territories, Minnesota, Kansas and Ne braska, are far better understood and appreciated, than those of Indiana. Why it is so I cannot say, unless tho citizens of those States hare been at more pains to exhibit their capabilities as agricul tural and manufacturing States, than we baro, and I presume this is the true so lution of the question. We hare now organized in our city a "Board of Trade who as I understand have been for some time, collecting statistics for publication connected with our city trade, commerce and manufactures. Why not add to this those of Southern Indiana? a description of its agricultural products, its timber, stone, coal, grain and mineral products of all kinds. These statistics embodied in a pamphlet and published in English and German might be sent to Governor Wright at Berlin and if thought proper, copies multiplied there for distribution. I need not say I will take much pleasure in forwarding them to him, through the proper channel, if requested so to do. . He would, I know, with great pleasure attend to any request made from such a source, and hU influence would be great in disseminating such information among all classes. All that is want ing is a true and reliable knowledge of our agricultural and mineral resources abroad to bring a large class of wealthy and industrious men here, who are anxious to invest, if they certainly knew the advantages we possess over most of the Western States. The able letter of Gor. Wright speaks for itself, and evinces what no one here who knew him doubted, his devotion to the interests of In diana and to the country, which he so ably represents abroad. Respectfully yours. JOHN LAW. Beblin, Feb., 6th, 133$. Dear Sir: I have often made the remark to you and to our people, that there Ss less known both at home and abrcad, of Indiana, her capabilities and rescourccs, thaa of any State of the Union. Of the truth of this fact I am more and more convinced. I am dally brought in contact wi'.h men of intelligence who feel a great interest in obtaining in for mation about oar country, especially how money may be invested there so as to bring the largest retain. They wish to learn what are the most desirable portionsfor man ufactures and trade. Questions are often put to me about the mineral resources ef Indiana and the surprise expressed that a Stato so rich in that respect has not taken pains to let its wealth be known to the wotld. A few have heard of the partial surrey, and the report thereon, made by Mr. Owen, years ago, bat hare not seen it and I doubt whether you can find half a dozen copies in tho State, or even one in the State Library. I could distribute hundreds of those Reports, imperfect as they are, with great advantage o our State. I know the great interest you take, living as yon do in the midst of the eoal and iron region of the "Western World, in the derelopeinent of the mineral resouices of Indiana, and I cannot forbear urging upon you renewed exertions in this matter. Our Statesmen, onr literary mea, our men of wealth may come to Europe and ulk cf tho resources of the country, her mineral wealth, her capacitiea for improvement; but when the capitalist and intelligent mechanic deaire to know where they shall use their capital ef money or mind, where they shall establish their manufactoriea or locate their mining operations they wish to $te the survey and report of the nan of science, who can tell them where they may certainly find remuneration fox theix labor, and what it shall be. To derelope the resources of a country the combined action of capital and labor ia re qaired. Capital and labor are sncnally com ing to our country from Europe; but much too large a proportion passes directly through our State and finds its home and em ploy - Tteat in Wirconain, Illinois. Iowa and Mis icnrl. If otr ftste wa better fcnown, if its

I believe that zinc w not manufactured in any considerable quantities in the Mississippi I Valley, and yet it is well known among us that it is found in grcU abundance in tho Northwest, equal to any in tho world. How profitably to our cop!e might the money be expended in manufacturing at home the zinc ued among us for painting, tor roofing, telegraphing and in tho daily employments cf our mechanics. But this will not be until tho attention of capital is drawn to our re sources. It may be mentioned as a striking fact, showing the extent to which we look across the water for supplies, that in South Wales and Staffordshire, England, alone, tin plates are manufactured to the amount of 900,000 boxes annually, to the value of over five millions of money, and that more thsn two-third of these are exported to the Uni ted States. Such a survey as ought to be made, would exhibit another thing which may soon be of vital Importance to the State; a thing whWh comes homeespecially to the farmers. It is well known thst the supply ol water ia yearly bocoining less abundant. Such a survey would show whoro artesian wells could be sunk, from which a never failing supply of water could be obtained. This may be determined by the scientific man with as much certainty as the character of the underlying soil. A few years ago in Paris, when water was very much needed, an artesian well was sunk under the direc tion of scientific men, and water was found an everlasting fountain thongh was after eight years of labor, and at a depth of 1,900 feet. It is raid that tho t renen In conquering Algiers took with them men of science and as they progressed, they established villages and sunk artesian wells, finding water even in the desert. The wandering Arab txelaimtd, what can we do with a pcoplo who make water rue out cf tho ground wherever they please. And they conquered perhaps as much by the impressions made by their scientific knowledge, as by the force of their t.rras. Whilo there are many things to condemn in this country, tlwre are also rusny things to admire One thing in the nianacemcut of the State Prison in this placo has struck me with much force as worthy of imitation. While the happiness of society is sought in the punishment of crime, tho reformation of the criminal as a member of society thoul.! also be sought. This can only be accomplished by uniting efforts for his reformation with his punishment in such way as not to destroy the effect of his sentence. The punishment awarded to crime should be certain, The sentence of the law should be faithfully carried out. Indeed I have many doubts whether the pardoning power, however wisely exercised, is not productive of more injury than benefit. It is said that many years ago in South Carolina, the Executive when enter ing upon the duties of his offlce, put up in a conspicuous place "no pardons granted ex cept on evidence discovered alter sentence," as the rule of conduct which he rigidly ob served; and it is added that there waa less crime than usual, during his term of office. Pardons are seldom granted here. Every convict is kept at bard labor. A strict account ia kept of the cost and profit of hi work. At the expiration ef his sentence a balance is stiuck. If he has been diligent in his work it is almost always in his favor. lie ia then required to return to the plaee of his conviction and endeavor to regain his character in the place whero it was lost. The balance due him on account of his labor is accounted for, and paid over to him upon bis producing a certificate from the tribunal by which he was convieted, that he ia conducting himself as a good citizen and ia at tentive to the wants and necessities of his tamily. Thus during his term of imprisonment and after his discharge an Incentive is given him to be "diligent in business" oue of the greatest aafegnarda agains crime.

This is the question it is looming up before us. Pondr well tho subject.. CITIZEN. ISFIhc silk store of llichard Lawman & Co.. New York, was entered a few nightsince, and three hundred pieces of -silk, valued at $15,000, stolen. When tLc store was opened on the following morning the appcaranoc of things indicated that tho burglars had conducted their business very leisurely. Stumps of cigars, to which they had helped themselveA from one of tho drawers, wero found lying about. After plundering the store, an attempt was made to fire the building. A large pile of papers and pieces of kindling wood were found gathered in a heap and partly consumed. No clue has thus far been obtained of tho burglars or the stolen goods. Some intimate that the police were in league with the burglars, while others say tho police were, as they frequently are, absent when most wanted, and that the whole thing was managed through the aid of clerks in the store. One thing is very certain, that no report of the cose was made on yesterday morning's Third Ward Police return, and further, that the police of the ward, when subsequently inquired of, failed to give any information. ———<>——— PITTSBURGH.— A friend, under date of the 11th instant, writes us from Pittsburgh,— ''there is nothing new here in consequence of the ice embargo. The store houses are filled with good waiting shipment. "Among steamboatmen there is a good deal ef excitement on account of a connexion made yesterday between the Chicago and Pennsylvania Central Road, which makes Pittsburgh only way station on the great route from East to West. A track was laid across Penn street, and a cattle train from Iowa City, in the center of Iowa State, passed through the city last evening, on its way East, without stopping, and is probably this morning, stopping only long enough for the conductors to announce that passengers for the 'Pittsburgh STATION' would leave the cars; and as they were hustled out the train went on, as if Pittsburgh was of no more conseqence than other village along the line. This change will have an important influence to increase the rail road business, and injure steamboating from this point. The steamboat men wear long faces at the prospect. J. C. P.

extensive land frauds. It is said that if half
current reports be true, "one of the most
monstrous and damnable series of briberies
and frauds will be disclosed that ever startled the public." Ex-Governor Bashford is said to bo implicated. A Mr. Kilbourn on hi ex amination testified that he paid to Got.

The bowels must be kept in a stati by which they are enabled to carry off the uselecs matter; they are :! main channel which nature has appointed to carry everything that is unnecessary. And it is impossible to tell hat a large amount of sickness has Ixen cand by constipation, or costiveness; fn other wonls by not keeping thebowrUjrepalir: it Is the main road to nil diseases: It is t!.ecaue of unnatural liritatlon to the marous, or lining membranes of the bowel. Having last their natural strength they cannot object to what is required of them. Hence, the bowels become inflamed, and unless you find a speedy relief, a thousand other complaints sre ever ready to dtag you through a miserable and wretched life, auch medicines must be given as will cleanse the stomach and bowels, and restore their natural strength. To accomplish this there Is no compound so valuable as these Pills; all other mediitbessinK to utter Insignificance when compared to them; it seems as though the Author of Nature had designed them for this as well as other complaints. From two to fivepills a day will locrease strength and appetite, and cleanse the stomal hand intestines from whatever Is injurious.
