ERIE CANAL. t - . .. , , ' Among the most important marlers which will come before our Legislature at the present session is the State Debt Bill. We are induced to believe from recent accounts that the Legislature will modify some of the provisions of the Bill so as to meet the wishes of the Bondholders. This can be done without at all injuring the interests of the State and we think may benefit it. The final settlement of this question is anxiously looked for by the people of the whole State, but more anxiously by those of this section, and the election of Trustee is a matter of much solicitude with us. Our preference in regard to the filling of that important of fice is known, and we are glad to see meets with a hearty responce in other parts of the State. The Bloomington Herald says: "The duties of the Trustees are great, and of the highest importance to the welfare of the State. They will direct all operations necessary to finish the Canal, fix the rate of tolls, and have in their immediate charge evAPiitliinrv hnlnnmn rr f C ilia fi nil Siirli -fiitit demand that these Trustees" should be men of energetic business habits; of untiring per severance; and who feel a lively interest in the successful prosecution of the great work .1 i i a .1 ft i Uiey liuve in meir cnur"e. is me jjonuholders elect two and the State but one, the - 1 1 t t t latter, especially, snouiu be a man ot un yielding energy. ' We do not know who may bo before the Legislature as candidates for State Trustee. . tint rrm eaopral , rtf nur ovnti'iwftou ira caa the name of Willard Carpenter, of Evansville spoken of. With th;s gentleman we have a ueiauuai atuuauiiauuc, auu iu uui uminuu no l i : :: u fully possesses all those business qualities which we have enumerated. In this opinion Wc are susiaiucu uy uio v ingenues vjazeue. Mr. Carpentet's efforts to obtain the donation of lands for the Canal, exhibit his energy and merit the tasting gratitude of the people of the St'ate. Ho traversed the country evrywhere visiting St. Louis, Cincinnati, and - other cities, to obtain petitions for the grant "about twenty thousand of whom he procured He then went to Washington City, and solicited, so we are informed,- every member , of Congress in behalf Of the grant. And all thfshedidat his own individual expense. Such energy may be, in part, prompted by "self-interest so much the better; for where V public good and sell-interest go hand in hand Va double guaranty is given for the faithful performance of entrusted duties. The j"plaee of Mr. Carpenter's residence, Evans..ville, is therefore another strong reason why J he should be elected Slate Trustee; for no ' portion of the State is more deeply interesl- ' jed.in the speedy and successful completion " of the Canal. , . .. .: i i .u ir - r c: i With truth and justice on our side, we shall no into the next presidential! contest with bright hopes of a successful triumph.- Craw t fordstille Keticve.

RUMORS FROM WASHINGTON. A Washington correspondent of the NewYork Journal of Commerce, writing from Washington, Nov, 30, says that the correspondence recenily passed between Mr. Buchanan and a Mexican agent, is authentic and is acknowledged to be. He also states that we shall soon have the official account of the affair of Santa Anna being passed by our squadron, which ought to have been given long ago that we shall "probably" soon have peace with Mexico or if not an attack will be made oa the Castle at Vera Cruz, by a naval force under Commodore Stewart. He also gives it as a fact, that the administration will

not recommend a revival and relaxation of the sub-treasury, as had been supposed. Mr. Walker was in favor of it but Mr Polk utterly averse to it. . The writer of this letter has good means of knowing the truth of what he writes; but how far he is correct in these statements and opinions remain to be seen. ' ' GEN. SCOTT. The Washington Union notices the statements that Gen. Seott bad sailed from New York for New Orleans, on his way to the army, and says, "we presume that such is the fact." It adds: C We observe that some speculations have already been formed in the newspapers about his movements, the plan of his campaign, &.C.. &c, which are probably without an j foundation, cut time will lest their truth. The New York Trib one, of Wednesday, has the following: , ; We have good "authority for stating that Gen. Scott expressed the opinion, before leaving here to take charge of the operations in Mexico, that if the supplies and other means Ordered by the Government should reach their points of destination in due 'time, the country ought to expect a peace with Mexico by the, middle or last of July certainly within the coming year. , i O-The Washington Union persists on saying that the Administiation made no bargain and had no understanding with Santa Anna oa his return to Mexico. ' Well, we can't, for the life of us, see how this mends the matter. 13 it not a fact that he did pass through the United States blockade, &.c? And every man knows that he could not have done so, without the authority of the United States Government. " Pray Mr Ritchie, was President Polk such a fool a3, to let the exiled Dictator return through the midst of the United States' squad ron, to head the armies of his country! The New York Tribune says that the ex ports of grain from that place, from the 1st to 24th ult, have reached upwards of 750.000 bushels, and Flour 83,000 barrels, which reduced to grain, would give an aggregate of a million one hundred thousand bushels, worth about one million of dollars. 03The Madison Banner notices a report that Jesse D. Bright, 'U." S. Senator from this State, has tendered his services lo the Pres ident, as Colonel of a new regiment ef volunteers. I( his services should be accepted, we should'nt wonder if the Mexicaus catch Jesse, before long. . . "Neither shall we slop to enquire, how re peatedly and solemnly Mr. Clay has commit ted himselt in favor of a strictly revenue lariff. Nashville Union. Certainly not.

Last Session, 10 of its members voted for it while, in the next Congress, 27 votes from that State, will be gives against it. is'nt that "gaiiiing friends", with a vengeance? (7- A correspondent of the Boston Cour ier thus happily hits off the magniloquent strains of some of the critics of the Eastern press: . .-.. "The rapturous and soul-thrilljng strains of Boo Squash's magnificient trumpeting come over us in a swoon ot passionate intui uon, causing our cereorai susceptivities to circumgyrate in-a gildy sweep round the whole compass of musical amazement, like a turkey in a tin kitchen. We stand thun der struck irr a hign-tide and whirlpool of astounding harmonies, and near the- wild waves of wonder-warbling sound .go leaping along shore like an infuriated catfish trying to jump over Cape Co d light-house." . 07 It is stated, that the first and second Regiments of Indiana volunteers have been ordered to march for Tampico, by way of Camargo.' : , . The Hon.Geo'rge McDuffie has resigned his place as United Stales Senator from South Carolina. It is thought that Mr. Iluger, who resigned to make room for Mr. Calhonn, will be sent back.

Gazette gives the following account cf the prepara tions: . . We had a glimpse of the great saloon in which the dinner is to be given, and the dis position of the tables is such that there will be ample opportunity to see and hear Mr. Webster. "A large platform has been raised midway the saloon, on the north side, and on this a table is to be set with twenty covers The President, Mr. Webster, and a number of the invited guests will be seated there. In nont ot this platlorm two immense tables stretch the entire length of the saloon and oth er tables are placed on a line with the plat form, at the npperenda poweriulband is to be stationed. The dinner will be served at four o'clock, and as soon as the cloth 13 removed the ladies will be admitted to the gallery The immense space will afford ample room for all. There were four hundred gentlemen at the tables and fifteen hundred ladies in the galleries! There were gentlemen from a num ber of States, and the whole affair was mag nificient throughout. THE WHIG GOVERNOR OF NEW YORK. The Oswego Advertiser thus speaks of John Young, the new Whig Gov ernor of the great Slate of New York: Mr . Young is a self educated man. " He commenced life from small begiuings. Fram his labors as a country school-master, he sup plied himself with pecuniary means to enable him to study the profession of the law, which he soon distinguished himself. , His ability, eloquence and success gained for him a commanding, reputation in his own county and judicial ' district. Alter filling several minor nrades of office, he was in 1S38 elected to represent his district, com posed of Livingston and Alleghany counties in Congress. Here he added largely to his reputation as a man of talent and a debater After a four years term of service, he de clined a re-nominallbn to Congress, but con sented to serve his county in the State Leg islature. His commanding talents and his wide spread reputation gave him at once the post of leader in the assemby. He twice re ceived the Whig vote ol that body tortSpea ker. As a champion of Liberal Whig prin ciples, no man in the Legislature ever dis tinguished himself more than John Young It is more to his able and sagacious leader ship in the Legislature, than to any othe cause, that we are indebted for our present triumph. We copy the following from the money .article of the New York Express: In the fiscal year, ending June 30th, 1815 there cleared from the various ports of th United States for England, Scotland and Ire land, 1,115 vessels, the tonnage of whic was equal to 631.331 ton?. The aven rate ot vessels was about 588 tons. Estima ting the capacity of the vessels to be eou to 10 barrels lo the ton, they could convey b,Jal,U barrels of breadstuQs. 1 he low est estimate of the deficiency of the crops in England, is equal to 4,800,000 barrels two thirds of which (or 3,200,000) is expected to be drawn from the United States.

The recent present by a committee of the

Anti-Mormon Ladies of Hancock Co. Ills., of a petticoat to the very valiant and dignified locofoco Governor Ford, has roused the wrath of that most exemplary functionary. The insult, to his fair fame was so great, that no remedy was left hut to assemble a porion of the troops, and pass resolutions de claring the Governor a very valiant, worthy, and insulted personage. All this was not enough, and so a committee of "three ne groes" was appointed to take . the afore said petticoat and burn it, with all due ceremonials expressive of profound contempt. This was accordingly done, and now, we sup pose, the Governor's insulted honor can re pose in peace. " Peogressof Civilization. A man nam ed "Smoke Glass" has been tried and found guilty of murdering Wildcat Campbell in the Cherokee nation, and ordered to be hung. Monterey. It is not generally known that there are two towns in Mexico, bearing this name. One of these ig an inland city, in the North-eastern part of Mexico, and is now in the possession of Gen. Taylor. The other is in California, a sea port on the Pacific Ocean, and is now in the possession of Commodore Stock ton. When our readers, therefore, hear of the army at Monterey, they will understand, that the former of these towns is alluded to; and when they read of ships of war at Monterey, the city on the western coast, is meant. A good Map of Mexico is now much needed, and would command'a ready and extensive sale. ' Q-On Tuesday last,' the new Locofoco Tar iff went into operation.

Let the credit of this noble State be preserved From the New York Courier and Enquirer. . - THE LOSS OF THE ATL ANTIC- , The morning boat from Boston brings full and heart-rending particulars of the toss of the noble steamer Atlantic, with about forty lives! She lett Allyn's Point for this city at about half past 12 o'clock on Thursday morning, with between uandSU persons on board, as nearly as can be ascertained, including passengers, crew, servants, &c, and hadjnstgot well under way when the steam chest exploded and the wind at the Bime time shitted to the uorthweet and blew almost a hurricane. Many persons were scalded and the air resounded with their cries. Captain Du9ian immediately called all handsjto the forward deck and ordered them to heave over their anchors, but the violence of the gale and the sea, which broke constantly over the bows, rendered it the labor of an hour to get all three out. The steamer worked heavy,1 plunging her .bows under at every lurch and dragging her anchors. Between the time of anchoring and daylight she had dragged her anchors about eleven miles. The fires were put out at day-light, the passengers and crew suf fered greatly trom the intensity ot the cold as the only means of keeping warm was by wrapping themselves in blaukets, and walking briskly about the boat. All began to look to their own personal safe ty, put on the life-preservers and prepared them selves fot an emergency.. The doors, shutters, settees, &., &.C., were detached and cut away, for rafts to drift ashore upon, "whenever she should stri ke. The 'cale increasing: in violence, Captain Dustan ordered about forty tons of coal to be thrown overboard, in order to lisliteu the vessel. About neon on Thursday, the smoke pipes, which were Very large and heavy, were ordered to be thrown overboard. This was done, the Captain assisting, and the steamer was eased fur a short time, as there was less surface offered to the force of the wind. The steamer con'.in--ued to drift however, and everything looked hopeless.. - -'; . .. ' ' - The danger increased so rapidly, that between 2 and 3 o'clock Capt. Dustan ordered the decks to be cleard of all merchandise of every thing that was in the way, Cases of boots shoes, barrels of flour, stoves. Sc., including one package said to contain $7000 worth of plate, were thrown overboard. There were six . or eight thousand dollars worth of lace on board belonging to one of the passengers who had previously said that he would give the whole to any one who would put him safely ashore. This lace was afterwards seen strewn .along the beaiu. About midnight' she parted b ne of her cables, there being four out, one atieched to 3000 lbs.. of furnice bars, and the others to anchors. After this the gale continued to increase and blew a oerfect hurricane. She was driven still nearer the shore, Lot passed a point that all expected sire would strike upon. She then drifted about 11 miles further," making -in all 22 miles, which occupied 48 hours, of terrible uncertainty and suffering. She theu struck, stern first on a ledge of i jcks on Fisher's Island. A tremendous sea thiew her up on the very top of the ledge; so far up fndeed, as almost to throw her over on to the other side. This was the crisis in the disaster. It was terrible, and heart-rending in the extreme- In five minutes after she struck, she was in pieces. In '-theve five minutes at least one half of these on board the Atlantic were ta'icu from time into eternity. . ; The screams, ti e crash, the roar of the sea was deafening. Tiier.? were six females, lour children and two infar.ts anions the passengers. All the females were drowned or crushed to death. Only orie of tha children was saved, and he was the only one of 'he family of which lie was a member. His fa!ier, moth er, married sister, and a young sister, and two younr brothers,' were on board. I he poor little orpnan, thus savea and thus thrown alone on to the-world, is only 12 years of aae. The two infants were drown ed, frozen or crushed lo death Capt. Dustan was among the number tost. One of the survivors states that up to the time he left Fisher's Island, (Saturday night, 33 bo dies were lound. All the women aboard the boat were drowned. Five of them were cabin passengers, two deck, and the three chamber maids, allot whose bodies have been lonnu.

The Locofocos are extremely : anxious as to the VThig Candidate for Presideut. Be easy, gentleman. There's no use of giving yourselved any unnecessary vexation about it. The Hour and the Man will come quite soon enough, for your convenience. LOCOFOCO SPECULATIONS UPON THE WAIL The Washington correspon dent of the New York Journal of Commerce who, as we more than once had occasion to remark has shown himself familiarity acquainted with the views and designs of the cabinet, and who is a Locofoco in his politics, writes as follows: Gen. Scollf said, a while ago, that he never would be called upon for active service in the Mexican war until the Government found itself in a straight. The Government is in a straight and Gen. Scott has been called upon for aid. It is the opinion of military men, and among others Gen. Taylor himself, that the whole of the Monterey demonstra tion, from begunng to end, was wrong; that no benefit corresponding with its cost in life and treasure, ha3 been obtained; that, the original design of pushing Taylor forward to San Luis, by this route, was utterly absurd; that Gen. 1 aylor had neither the force or the supplies necessary for such an enterprise; that it has been abandoned at the suggestion of Gen. Tajlor, s.r.d that an entirely new plan of the war has been or must be adopted . Gen. Taylor, before he marched from Matamoros,' told Major Forsyth that he did not know what was the object of the movement he was ordered to make, and that," if the de sign wa3 lo go to San Luis or the city of Mexico, Tampico was the point from whicl; the movement should be made. ' General Taylor has, no doubt, expressed the same opinions in his correspondence with the Government. After along pause, there fore, the Government has adopted what the Union properly called a "new organization," and a different plan of operations, and has been compelled to ask the aid cf General Scott. ' . " in regard to the Mexican war, it has not yet been made known, or in any way appear ed, what is ils true object. We are left to believe that the Administration have no defin ite' object, any more than a mature plan lor effecting it. - A portion of the Western and southern people consider the object to be the territo rial acquisition conquest and approve it Borne ot the southern politicians view it as a means of extending southern, territory and influence, and restoring to them the sceptre ot tederal dominion. The terms upon which this Government is prepared to make peace are entirely a matter or conjecture, and arc probably yet to be decided upon. But if the Mexican Congress, which is now about to assemble, shows a disposition to meet our proposals, which are to be submitted to it, it must follow that this Government will be bound to enter.intoa treaty on equitable terms, instead of demanding halt ot their territory. Cav Johnson's Cheese. The following is from the Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Patriot: . " " Some timt since, Mr. Holbrook, a private mail agent at the north, bought a huge cheese in Connecticut and sent it on to Washington by the string of mail ageuls along the route, as a present to Col. Cave, Johnson, the Postmaster General. All right. Subordinates know how to tickle the laucy of their superiors, la most cases. Sometimes, however, functionaries from the southwest are not over fond of cheese I Be the case with Col. Johnson as it may, the cheese, mo3t likely by some agent who loves Cave Johnson less than he does cheese, mischeviously clapped in me posi-omce mail, by whicn conveyance it came safe lo hand, with one hundred and twentyjitse dollars postage charged on u I Go). Johnson refused the present I , and ordered "the cheese1? to be taken back, so that It might be properly filed away iu "the dead letter ojjicev1 AN EPITAPH. A Washington correspondent of the New York Herald furnishes us with the following conversion of Eu1cm?v into an Epitaph, The Union must indite its puffs of the Administration in a less lugubri ous train if it would not" be travestied: " The story" is told. The Cato of New York must retire to Ulica. Father Ritchie, in last night's Union, makes a sorry apology about the telegraphic wires rutining all the way round lo Bosjon, and about the hunkers and barnburners,, and Mr. Clay, and Albany county, and the anti renters, and all thai; and consoles himself with the following sublime aposlrophe to Ihe Administration f "We stand upon the ground of right (Wright.) Io administration , ' has ever more anxiously or efficiently served the country than the present Has more boldly pursued the 'road.'" of principle - adopted more valuable measures served the people with more energy and effect Promoled the honor and the rights of the nation " in regard of all foreign nations, ; : and its solid interests at home ;. 1 and none is more entitled to the confidence of a free people." "''' "Did you ever read anthing more like an epitaph in your life? Did you ever? No, 1 never: But it wo'nt do the 5000 majority for Wright in New York city Is overruled, aud the only consolation left is that 'we stand upon the ground of bight."'

The rumor gains ground that Mr. Buchan an intends soon to publish a letter upon the question of thcTart", in which he will take ground deciedly in favor of Protection aid, against the Locofoco Tariff of 1846.,, The Secretary of State has evidently profited by the discipline administered by the people of Pennsylvania; and very fortunately or him he has been in a position which did not require him to commit himself upon ihe measure, until the result of the elecaon should have enlightened his mind. Vihh Mr. Dallas the case is different. . He voted for the present Tariff, and indeed, wutout his vote, it could never have become a liw. We hope that Mr. Buchanan will take occasion, in the forthcoming letter, to explain the assurances which he gave in 1844 that Air. t oik was as good a Tariff man as Henry Clay.
