We publish below the letter of our Iodianap. lii Correspondent, dated 21st inst. We must confess that after perusing it, and until we were shown the letter oi Willard Carpenter, Esqr., which follows it, dated the 33rd, we had great feara ol the passage of the State Debt Bill, by the Senate, at leaat in auch shape as would be aceeptable to the Bondholders. The letter of Mr. Carpenter, (written to a friend.) hat restored our confidence, and we hearti ly congratulate our friends and the people of the whole State on ed prospect of the final adjustment of (his vexed question.' -i - The House of Representatives, on Saturday last, rescinded the resolution tp adjourn on Monday, and named to-day for the adjournment of the Legislature. Thia would give sufficient time, it waa thought, to perfect the various bills, and no doubt would be cqneurred in by the Senate. Friday night's mail will ease us of our anxiety. QpThe bill which sqrriet;me since passed the Senate granting to Evansville a city charter passed the House of Representative on its 'third readtng, en the SOU? inst. The charter was drawn up by a committee, appointed by the Board of Trustees, and approved by the Board. 07 It will be seen from the proceedings of Congress that the project ef appropriating a sum of money to enable Mr. Polk to purchase a peace with Mexico has been revived in the Senate by a committee report in favor of giving $3,000,000 for that purpose $1,000,000 more than waa asked for at the Uat session (y The amendment to the army bill adopted by the Senate provides that each private and non-comnissioned officer serving in the war ahall have 160 acre of laud : but if the lull term for which auch person volunteered shall not exceed one year, then it ia to be leducsd to 80 acres only.

Sexatob Elected By the following extract from the Baltimore Patriot, it appears that Mr, Hunter is the Senator from Virginia. He is an out and out Calhoun man; in politics generally he is decidedly am phibiout- being as difficult to define as the "Resolutions of 0S.' We presume the Whigs voied for him in order to defeat the regular Locofoco Jones. "The Legislature of Virginia yesterday elected K. Al. 1. Hunter (at present a mem ber of Congress) a Senator of the United States for six years from the 4lh of March next, when Mr. Archer's time expires. Mr Hunter belongs to the Calhoun branch of the party. There were six ballots, on the last the vote stood: Hunter, 83; J, VV. Jones 68; Scattering, 11." Virginia U. S. Senator.

Indianapolis Correspondence of the Journal. f

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 21,-1847. , Dear Sir Since rny letter of last week the State Debt Bill, has passed the House ol Representatives by a vole of 70 to 29 This majority is very great and indicates very plainly the state of feeling with regard to the settlement of our debt. The House bill came up in the Senate yesterday, and the whole time has since, been spent in the discussion of ils provisions, and of the amendments proposed by the 'opponents. The first move of the opponents was to strike out from' the enacting clause, and insert the bill of last winter, altering the dates to suit the present time; this was lost by the casting tote of the President, The next amendment proposed to attach the Central canal to the bill and compel the Bondholders to finish a part of that above and below Indianapolis, and keep it in repair, Mr. Paths of Morgan moved as a substitute, that tbe Bondholders have liberty to take and Complete the Central canal to the Junction with the cross cut if they see fit, and divide the revenues with the State alter Completion. His substitute was rejected "and the amendments adopted, to the utter as tonishment of the friends of the arrangement, by the castiagvote of the President! As it compels the Bondholders to include the Central canal above and below Indianapolis, the amendment is tantamount to a defeat of the whole project, if retained. It will, however, l . " II. -i ( . ue rejecieu m me nouse 11 we uo oc-r,t n off in the Senate. i The next amendment prooosed was to strike out the priority of payment of the princi-i pal of the canal stock; this is the main amendment to the old bill, asked for by the Bondholders, and is emphatically the gist of the whole matter. If this priority is not granted the whole arrangement falls to the ground and we stand where we did two years ago virtu al repudiators. The amendment has been discussed since yesterday, and as everything depends upon its rejection or adoption,' the whole debate will probably rest upon it. I still believe it will pass in such a shape as to be acceptable, though I must confess appear ances are exceedingly doubtful. We have but 23 votes certainly in our favor, while the opposition can as certainly count 24. Bui one of this number is sick, and will probably not be in his seat again; there are two doubt ful, one of whom has just promised us his vote to-morrow, and we have strong hopes ofi the other. If we get both we have an un doubted majority, under all circumstances, but if the two divide off, and every thing de pends upon the casting vote of the President, I cannot eay what will be the result," as we have now strong reasons to fear that he is not so favorable to the project as was generally anticipated early in the session, and as we had a right to expect from his inaugural ad dress. The debate will be closed to-morrow and we shall then know tho result. Senator Cuppy, of Whitley, Kosciusko &c, died of Inflamatory Rheumatism some three days since. He was opposed to. the present bill, and bad he lived, would have given a majority to opponents. An election for Judge in the new circuit created during the present session and lor State Printer, took place last night. George H. Dunn, of Lawrenceburgh, was elected Judge on the third ballot, and John D. Defrees Stale Printer on the first ballot; the latter by a strict party vote. A resolution was adopted by both Houses sometime since, to adjourn on monday next, but at present I do not see how it will be possible to get through in that time, without leaving a great deal of important business unfinished. If futther time is necessary, to perfect the State Debt ' w w Bill, the House will rescind the resolution fix ing the time of adjournment. I will advise you ot the matter as soon as the bill is disposed of. Respectfully Your Ob't.Serv't. . W. HAMILTON STOCKVYELL Indianapolis, JatCy 23, ISi. Mk. Shankun Dear Sir. It affords me great satisfaction to be able to inform you that the Seuate has just agreed to engross the Butler Bill, by a vote of 23 to 19. The friends have fought over it for three days; and within the last twenty four-hours have added two votes on their side, the enemies have not only lost these two but three others within a few days, one died, Mr. Cuppy; one' is sick, confined to his bed, and the other was lorced to go home this morning on pressing business. I think we areas much indebted to Providence in getting this bill through the Senate as we were to Him that rules the des tiny of all things, in procuring the grant of la nds from Congress. It will pass on Monday by about the same majority. Many amendments have been made in the House and Senate to the bill, some of them wilt,' 1 fear, have to be again referred back to the Bondholders, it is believ ed that they will accede to the bill as it now stands, and thaat arrangements will be made to commence the work in June. In great bas'.c, very respectfully, ; VV. CARPENTER. 0"" The Treasury note bill, which passed the House on Thursday, authorizes the issue of ,123,000,000, bearing six pent cen. inter eat and redeemable in 1&07.

Export of Breadstuffs. -More than

4,000,000 bushels of grain were exported from N. Y. city last year to foreign countries, besides 1,193,482 barrels of flour equal to 5,000,000 bushels more, making a total of 9,000,000 bushels, or ils equivalent, from a single port. It is at the rate of 25,000 bushels in a day, the year round, Sundays and all. It is more than a half a bushel to eve. ry white man, woman, and child in the nation. ; Important Decision. We learn from the Columbus papers that the supreme court of Ohio, in bank, among other decisions, have decided adverse to the city of Cincinnati what has been called the Jew case. The court declare "the ordinance of the Cincinnati council, prohibiting trading, bartering, and selling on Sunday, void as to those who conscientiously observe the seventh day of the week as the Sabbath." 07-We learn from the Louisville Journal of Tuesday, that our Legislature have elected George II. Dunn President Judge of the newly created 13th judicial circuit, and John D.'Defrees, of the State Journal, State Printer. Executive Dignity. Our country has afforded some singular specimens of State papers of late. The special pleading of Mr. Polk in defence of his usurpation of the war power, and his denunciation ot all who dare to investigate his official conduct, wandered as far from the legitimate purpose of a mesas we supposed possible. But the Gov. ecor of Missouri, in answering a call of the Legislature in relation to certain item3 of executive expenditure, has transcended the example set, him. The following is a speci men: In the next place, with due respect to the honorable mover, the answer is, that. the ex penses ot tne executive were various, nu merous, too tedious to mention; bis break fast, his dinner, or his tea, when he had the time and the appetite to eat it; an apple, or an orange, a lemonade or a sponge cake, piece of cheese or a cracker, a glass of brandy or some old rye, when, from hard travel, much fatigue, and great want ol sleep, he was too unwell to take more substantial food, or else, from rapid travelling, had no time to slop and get it; the blacking of his boots or brushing the dust out of his coat, hiring a servant to hasten his dinner, instead of forc ing htm to eat through a series of regular courses; hack and omnibus hire, porterage and dtayage; stage fair, railroad fair, steam boat fair on the lakes, gull's, river and bays; all these and various oiher items, multiplied many times over, making, perhaps, thousands in the trip of six thousand miles, make up the item of expense to the Executive a long listjTiard to get and hard to give. . Advance of Grain and Cotton. We copy the following from the Pittsburgh Ga zette and Advertiser, of Thursday, the 21st instant, for which papers it was repotted by the electric telegraph: Philadelphia, January 20, 1847, I have iast received, a despatch fiom New York with news by the packet ship Quebec, from London. Her dales from thai city tre to December Sih, two days later. The news ia important, as showing a continued advance on the other side in our gieat staples. Grain of all kinds continues to advance in all the leading markets of England. . The news from the Baltic, and most of the continental ports, is to the same purport. In the interior of Europe the markets are much the same way advancing for breadtuifj. The cotton markets were also on the rise The enormous quantity of 39,000 bales were sold in one day. J he advance on prices in two days was id. on all descriptions. . Most of the cotton was bought on speculation. The money markets continue easy in Eng land. . There had been no arrival in England from America from the arrival of the steam erat Liverpool to the date of the Quebec's sailing. An extraordinary circumstance. The cholera was making dreadlul havoc at Bagdad, and was progressing northward The Liverpool cotton market. I his mar ket has been dreadlully excited, and prices for almost all sorts advanced fully id. per pound. The sales are abtout 30,000 bales including 10,000 American and 2,000 Sural On speculation, there were sold 20,000 American at 5d. to 7id; 1,500 Fernams and Maranham7d. to 8d.; 1,000 Bibia 7d. to ; 500 Egyptian 7id. to 9J., 4,000 Surats 4d. to 5d. . Iuditn corn brisk, and in reouest in Ireland at high terms, and on a level with fr quali ties of wheat. . ' 1 The London Morning Chronicle, of the Sih December, snys the receipt ol grain had been very great the preceeding week; wheat inactive, prices of the preceeding week hare ly sustained. There was very little Indian corn ou hand, 62 shillings per quarter paid for superior American. American flour was selling at from 33 to 35 shillings The Boston Post, of Tuesday,' the 19th, says: . ; . ,-.' It is stated that cotton goods have risen very much in price recently. : Arnoskeag sheetings, which a few weeks since were sold by the agents at a cents, are now up fcj ; last year at this time the same .quality stood at 7 cents. Within a short time licking and denims have advanced J to 1 cent per yard. Prints, such as have lately been bought from 4 to 4i cents are selling by the case for 5i. ColoreJ cambrics have advanced i to 1 cent. Woollen, linen, and rubber goods are advancing. 07 We have received No. 5 of that highly valuable wDrk "Ths Theasurt-or IIistobt," published by Daniel Adee, at No. 107, Fultonstreet, New York.

The Expolsion on the Reading Rail

road A Frightful Scene. A terrible accident occurred on the Reading railroad, on Thursday evening of last week, by the explosion of the boiler of a locomotive. Seven hands employed by the company were blown to atom3. The Philadelphia Times says : - The body, or rather ;he trunk of the body of one of the braketnen was thrown ud a a hill the distance of at least two hundred and fifty yards. Beside, or near himf were two pieces of iron from the boiler, weighing two or three hundred pounds each, that were found indented some two and a half feet into the ground. Another body was found up on a small island of ice in the stream, that had been blown through a large tree, in the imbs of which parts of the clothing were banging. The body, supposed to be ihat ol the engineer, was discovered driven into the water-tank. Sticks of wood were forced thorngh it, and from this circumstance, it is thought that the unfortunate tn:in must have been cither on or near the woodpile ; or it may have been, was in the act of handling the billets t the moment of the accident. One man wat blown up the hill, and his body being doubled up, was sent through a lence which it carried wilh it. A body was found with nothing on it save a scarf around the neck;olhers with only pieces of the flinnel shirt. Out of the seven bodies, there was not more than one that was whole enough to be recognized with any certainty. All were stripped entirely of their clothing, except here and there a remnant that clung to some poriion of them. ' The head of one of the men was found mashed to a jelly another was found separated from the trunk,. and an arm was picked up in a field wilh a tin cup in the hand. Tne corpses were all horibly mutilated, lorn, burnt, and blackened. The scene in the vicinity of the casually was horr.ble and sickening to look upon! By the side of the remains of the engine was a huge rock, covered with blood from the bodies that had been dashed against it. The surrounding rocks and trees were bespatier ed and stained with blood. In the branches of the trees were biis of clo'hing and shreds of flesh. On the ground, here was an arm, there a leg, and yonder some other portion of a body. Let the eye turn where it would it met some terrifying or heart sickening ev idence of the awful catastrophe. Immense pieces of the boiler, shivered portions of the engine, fragments of human flesh or spots ol human gore! An Unmistakable Portrait. Mr. Chandler of the U. S. Gazette, certainly must have been boin for a Painter. We greatly question whether the Daguerrean process, in all its perfection, could produce a more remaikable likeness of "Hurry of the Wesij" than the one belew. It is the closing paragraph of the New Year's article in the Gazelle, ia the last and loftiest wish of the gifted editor, and will rreet a hearty response from millions of the American people: And mingling with our aspirations, crowd ing outward for utterance, because ever upper-most in the heart, is lie fervent, soul-fell and the soul-warming wish that the man, whom the nation honors for the patriotic use of Jolty talents: whom millions of his fellowcitizens hail as the political idol of their affections, and the constant object of their desire; whose retreat is the mecca of their hearts; whos&jaovements they watch with filial fondness; whose fame is a part of the riches of their political hoardings; to that man, whether the Senate hangs with rupture upon his accents; whether a people hail him as their political head; whether the shades of elegant retirement be his lot, and the philosophy of wisdom and age be his companion; whether he stands forward the defender of his fellow man at the bar of justice, or seeks the delight ol enlarged social entercourse abroad, we wish, hea th, peace, and all 'those blessings that should reward tlio tiie patriot and the daily consciousness of the enthusiastic, yet reverential, love of his fellow-ciiizens. These, wilh the possession and immortal influences of the light of effective piety on the heart, are a part of our wishes for a happy New Year to the Statesman and the Patriot Hear Silas Wright. -As there seems to be a strong probability that Silas Wright is to be the must prominent Locofoco candidate for the Presidency, the Locofocos ought to hearken to his words. In the summer o 1844, he made a political speech at Waterlown. N. Y., in opposition to tho Whigs and in exposition ol his own principles and the views of his party. In that speech he re ferred to the subject of Texas and its boundary in the following terms. Heat! Hear! "There is another subject on which I feel bound to speak a word 1 allude to the pro position to annex Texas to the territory of this republic. I felt it my duty to vote as a Senator, and did vote against the ireaty for the ratification ot the treaty for the annexation. . 1 believed that the ireaty, fiom the boundaries thai must be implied from it, it Mexico would not treat with us. embraced a country to which Texas had no claim over which she had never asserted jurisdiction, and which she had no right to cede. Oa this point I should give a brief explanation. The treaty ceded Texas by name, without an effort to describe a boundary. The Congress of Texas had passed an act declaring by metes and bounds, what was Texas within their powers and jurisdiction, it appeareu tome then, if Mexico should -tell us, "We don't know you we have no treaty to make with you'" and we were left to take posses sion by force, we must take the country as Texas has ceded it to us and in doing that or forfeiting our honor, we must do injustice to Mexico, and lane a large portion ot INew Mexico, ihe people of which have never been under the jurisdiction of Texas; this, tome, was an insurmountable barrier. I e.uuld not; place the country in that position."
