We would call the attention of Assessors in this county, to an article in to-davs paper upon the subject of the ad valorem las of last session. Bv verbal information, we learn that the Cholera ts entirely subsided at Madison, la. Some furtier progress of the disease in that place is noticed jD another column. The Cholera has not visited Cincinnati this season yet, except in a few doubtful wks. i . i ii Cosvestios. A Van Buren Convention was Jieen held in New Hampshire, on the 25th of June, it which Isaac Hill was nominated as candidate for Governor of that State. He was nominated on the second ballott, Gov. Badger being his competitor for the nomination. The Legislature of that State adjourned on Sat nrday the 25th of June. Rail Road. The first section of the Lawrence burgh and Indianapolis Rail Road was let, on the 27th of June to W. II. & J. S. Campbell, of Shelbyville, la. The contractors are busily engaged in making preparations for a commencement of the work. The stone work for the same section (being one mile, embracing a culvert at the Pond between Old and New Lawrenceburgh,) was taken by Peter Miller of Cincinnati. Hon. Edward Everett. The Harrisburgh Intelligencer has nominated Edward Everett.of Masnchusetts as a candidate for the Vice Presidency, to run on the Harrison Ticket. We think much of this nomination. We believe a better scholar, and t more profound patriot cannot be found within the United States. A Private meeting of the Brookville Lyceum will be held to-morrow evening, at 7 o'clock P.

On Saturday afternon, at ten minutes before six o'clock, Mr. Claytox made a most beautiful and entirely successful ascension with his new and truly masrifincent Balloon. The wind, fortunately, blew directly towards the East, though the breeze was quite gentle. lie rose very slowly to a great hight, and re mamed in view an hour and a half. He took with him a large mail for the eastern cities, in which were enclosed copies of the Cincinnati Whig and Commercial Intelligencer, directed la me editors, with whom we exchange in nasnington, Baltimore, Philadelphia and rsew York. A e have seen a number of Bal loons, but we have never seen one to compare with Mr. Clayton's either in size or beauty. The shape is uncommonly handsome, and is maae oi silk ot various colours. Mr. Clavlon was nerfrrtlr ronl and rnlW. ted to the "last moment of the ascension, and went up, apparently, with the utmost intre piuitr. He is a gentleman of respectability. about 27 years of age, of considerable scienti fic acquirements, and understands perfectly it me science of Ballooning. Should the wind continue to carry him in the proper direction, and his gas, (of which he had a very large supply) not too soon fail, he will undoubtedly accomplish his voyage to the Atlantic Seaooard. 1 he audience was exceedingly large, both Jithin and without the Amphitheatre. We Joubt not but there were 2,000 persons within lbe closure. We have understood that the jjevvk' at oor amounted to upwards of ywv. ine day was unusualy tine. -'Jr. Uayton has not been heard of here since Departure. Clto. JVhie. & 5.

Among the noes were Gen. Jackson, frhpn in the Senate) Messrs. Van Buren, Benton, Dickerson, of N. J., Eaton, of Tenn., & Macon, of N. Caiolina, whose opinions we pre sume win not De disputed by the Jackson and Van Buren papers of the present day. New York, June 23. ARRIVAL OF THE CONSTITUTION. The U. S. frigate Constitution, arrived yes terday afternoon from Plymoth, England, whence she sailed on the 16th Mav. having on board Mr. Livingston, late Minister to Pa ns, and tamily. 'J. he Constitution came up to town this morning, and fired a salute, which was returned by Castle William. A despatch a a r . . . was sent on w vvasmngton, by Mr. Living' ston,last evening. LANDING OF MR. LIVINGSTON. The frigate Constitution, Commodore Elli ot, came up this moining, fired a salute, and ancnorea in the JNorth Kiver. Mr. Living ston and family came ashore in a lieutenant's barge, under a second salute, and landed 4 1 L dT .In-. ou uie steps at castle harden. A great crowd had assembled on the Batterv. who gave the Minister a very cordial reception, ana accompanied mm to the house of a friend at the lower end of Greenwich street. From the steps Mr. Livingston addressed his fellow citizens in a brief speech, which was answered by hearty cheers. lie expressed the satisfac tion he felt at the cordial reception which had been given him, and assured his countrymen, that during his absence it had been his con stant desire to secure the rights and maintain the honor of the United States. He then withdrew to a window in the chamber, and s friend announced, that in consequence of fa tigue,it would be impossible for Mr. L. at that lime to receive kisfelllow-citizensjindividually but it was expected the Corporation of the city would make a speedy arrangement for mat purpose. We are glad to learn from the conversation of Mr. Livingston that his return to the Uuited estates is not to be taken as an evil omen. Among the reasons for it is.the desire to put the jf resident in possession ol his views more fully than he could well do bv letter. He has not perceived among the people or in the gov ernment of France, any hostile disposition to wards us. Un the whole, we find nothing to shake our often expresed confidence, that our atluirs with r ranee will be brought to a satis factory and Inendlv issue. Mr Livingston will soon repair to Washings ton, and no doubt government will in some way put the people in possession of the impressions made by his tatements. Jour Corn Cholera. We regret to learn, that this dis ease continues its ravages in the vicinity of me ivcu jion wun increased virulence. Since our last paper it has proved fatal in the following cases: Mrs. Marshall, Mrs. Priscula 1 hompson, son of Mr. Rosser, Joseph Green, Beuajah Gustin, sen: Hannah Gustin, T 1 7 a T 111 r jouu iograi james uauaner, secona ton ol Mr. Olmger, and Dr Joseph Stanton, of Springborough. Since the commencement of the disease, rnday 12th mst eighteen per sons have died in the neighborhood of the Red Lion. Dr Stanton, when first taken was on his way to visit a patient in the infected neighborhood. in wmrn ne naa attended many cases before. lie immediately returned home and in a few iours, not more perhaps than eight, wa9 corpse. Equally sudden where the deaths of Mr. Gallaher and Bograt. The former was taken with the disease at nine o'clock at night and died before morning. Physicans wno nave had an opportunity of observing the epidimic say that in no part of the country las it appeared in a more malignant form being in many cases altogether unattended bv the usual premonitory symptoms. Since writing the above we have received an obitu ary notice of Dr. Stanton; it came too late for next week. Lebanon Star. TREASURY DEPARTMENT, Indianapolit, 2Qlh June, 1835. NOTICE is hereby given that the 3 per cent, fund accruing trom sales of public land in Indiana, for the year liJ4, is received at this office and is ready for disbursement to the commissioners of the proper county, enti tied to receive the same. To those counties from which no appropri ation was made for the " improvement of the navigation of the V abash River," theie isap portioned from this year's receipts, the sum of S3lJl 33-1UU to each county. The appor tionment to the same counties of 119 each last year, is also in readiness for those coun ties that have not drawn. To those counties from which there was $ 112 50-100 taken for the Wabash, there is now in readiness $397 83-100 each, and for the county of M ami the sum of .$ JUS StMUU. The foregoing sums do not embrace the undrawn appropriation of 1833 and previous years, which may likewise be drawn by the persons properly authorised to receive the same. N. B. PALMER. Treasurer of State and.lgent 3 per cent Fund. N. B, Papers generally in the State would serve the public interest by giving this a place in their columns. Destructive and appalling Tornado. We learn from the New York Evening Star, that a dreadful tornado visited the town of

iacataway, near New Brunswick Ne"w Jer-

ey, on the lath instant, which Drostrated every house in the place but two. "The current oi wind" says the Star, proceeded towards the city of New Brunswick and made dreadmnavoc in that place, destroying nearly Firry houses in Liberty, Richmond & Schureman streets. The most melancholy nart of the accident is the death of several persons. A widow lady by the name of Van Arsdale, a man called Henry Brenan, formerly a midshipman in the navy, who was killed in the street, and a boy named Bayard. The details of this melancholy accident we could not procure, owing to the late hour of the arrival of the boat. The tornado first struck the town of Middlebush, and swept every thing before it. We had the gale very severe here,butthe lightning and wind to the west appeared to be the most violent. It is singular that such a storm should have occured at this season of the year, and we apprehend mat we shall hear of further ravages." Extract of a letter from A'ew Brunswick. "We were visted last evening hv a wind and water spout, which has done considerable damage. Two persons certainly killed, and several wounded. Dr. Janeway's house, among others, much injured. The storm ex tended to Middlebush, three miles from here, where much damage was done, and also to Piscataway one half the villa re is desfrnved." Cm. Whig.

We are happy to learn that no lives were lost in the affray, and not much damage in other respecis. cm. Republican. From the Indiana Journal. ADVALOREM BILL. Messrs. Editors-As the'assessors appointed under the provissions of the "advalorem bilP of the last session of our legislature, have en tered upon the discharge of their duties, I it I i i i i ii tmnK it important mat inev, as well as our citizens at large, should correctly understand that bill. 1 he first section of that bill commences as follows:. "That all lands and town lots and the value over and above two hundred dollars of all buildings erected or made thereon or affiixed thereto, which is the property of any individu al or individuals, body corporate or politic, &c. &c. shall be subject to taxation." Now in this county, 1 understand, that the assessors have thought it their duty to value the lands of the farmer with the improvements on the same. I his is not the law. 1 his was not the intention of the legislature. The word ' improvements'" is not in the section To show that I am correct, it is only necessary to turn the Journal of the Senate of last session.page 40o, wnere it win De seen tne m ri . I .1 following proceedings were had on the bill. "On motion of Mr. Long, the previous or ders of the day were postponed and the Senate proceeded to the further, consideration of the engrossed bill from the House of Representa tives (No. loU.) 'to provide lor an equitable mode of levying the taxes within this State," and Mr. Embree moved further to amend the bill in the first sextion by striking out these words: "that all lands and town lots, and all buildings and improvements erected or made thereon or affixed thereto," and to insert these words: "that all lands and town lots, and the value over and above two hundred dollars of all buildings erected or made thereon or affixed thereto." On this motion the ayes and noes were ta ken, and Mr. Emoree's amendment carried 19 to 11. So it will be seen from this that it was the intention of the House of Representatives to tax the improvements of the farmer, for the bill came up from there with the word improve ments in it, but it was struck out by the Ssenate on the motion of Mr. Embree. These are facts that came under my per sonal notice, and should this be read by anv of your numerous readers, they will do well to bear it in mind for it is unfair to have the improvements of the farmer ofMarion taxed, when those of other counties will be exempt ed. Gen. Milton Stapp, we understand, is a candidate for Representative for Jefferson county, at the August election. Previous to the death of Mr. Wallace he and Mr. Marshall were candidates without opposition. It is supposed there will be no opposition to Mr. Marshall and Gen. Stapp, as the people of Jenerson county wish to present an undivid ed front in favor of the contemplated Rail lload from Madison to Indianapolis. Indiana Democrat. .Gen. Morgan, of Rush county, who was appointed by the Uovernor to take rehn quishments of lands on the White water canal, made his report to the office of the Sec retary of otate, a few days since. We un derstand that the people of the White water valley have displayed a praise-worthy liber ality in surrendering the right ot way to the state, particularly on that part of the route fiom fie National road through the counties of Wayne, Fayette and franklin. Ib. Newport R. I. The oldest paper i.i the United States except the Massachusetts Spy, now defunct, is the Mercury, published at this ancient town, which was begun by Jas Franklin, brother of Dr. Benj. Franklin, and completed its 77th volume June 12th. Newport has had its day of glory, when places now covered with the twarming population!

and spires and turrets of metropolitan cities were unknown. In 1700 tQ 1730, she was the great and only seaport of consequence from Boston to the Cape9 of the Chesapeake. One mercantile house alone, Christopher and Job Almy, had more than thirty vessels engaged in foreign trade Aaron Lopez full as

many, principally engaged in the West India business. Star. Texas. The Mexican authorities of Tex as have addressed an official remonstrance to the War Department at Washington ap-ainst the removal of our Indian tribes to the West, in sucn a manner that they soon become residents, and of course tresspassers, on the territory ofMexico. It appears that many hund reds of the Choctaws recently pushed across the Mississippi have taken up their quarters within twenty-five miles of Nacogdoches, and avow their determination to remain therp. while many others are about to follow the ex ample. Col. Bean, the commandant at that post, considers this intrusion, if connived at by our authorities, a violation of the existing treaty stipulations and of the laws of nations, and demands that it be promptly redressed. It further appears that some scroundelly speculators have been selling the emigrant Indians large tracts of land in Texas, to which they had no sort of title, and of course could give none. The Indians are thus swindled out of the pittance they had received from our Government for their lands, and left utterly destitute among strangers and enemies. New Yorker. Hon. Levi T f oodburi,, it s confidently stated in the Concord (N. II.) Courier and Euquirer, will be found in the ranks of the White' men in the coming Presidential contest. Mr. W's course has been such as to give the impression that this statement cannot be correct. J"czo Yorker. Gen. Limon Cameron, of Pennsylvania, if is rumored, has been appointed Governor of Michigan, ihis looks as though the conduct of Acting Governor Mason was not exactly approved at head-quarters. lb. Hon. Amos Davis, late Representative in Congress from Kentucky, and a candidate for re-election, died suddenly of a bilious cholic in Bath county of that State. Ib. Rev. Dr. Beecher,ate of New-England, is on trial before a Presbyterian Synod at Cincinnati for heresy, on the complaint of Rev. Dr. Wilson, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church in that city. The charge involves the variance between the "Old School" and "New School" doctrines maintained by rival sections ot that church. lb. Westward Ho! The steamboat Thomas Jefferson lately passed Cleaveland, Ohio, with two hundred passengers for the Upper Lakes and the Far West. Ib. Chief Justice Marshall lies danserouslv ill in Philadelphia. Ib, Holt's Hotel, is to be sold on the 13th of Juy, by order of the Vice-Chancellor. for the benefit of the trustees and creditors of the establishment. Ib. Montgomerx, (Ala.) May 26. Marriage Extraordiuarv. Married in this place, on Wednesday morning last, by Rev. Mr. Cunningham, Mr. Walter B. Wright, to Miss Paulina Snyder. The happy bride is the lady to whom dame Nature has so niggaruiy acniea ine common appendage of a pair of arms, and who has been exhibited in the United States as a curiosity, in conse quence ot that deformity. Madame For tune, blind as she is said to be, has treated her more kindly, and bestowed a lover and husband to the armless lady, while many an ivory arm and lilly hand is extended in vain by others, whose youth and bloom the fickle goddess suffers to pine and fade away, in hateujwimenng celiuacy. Aristocracv. We are much Dleased with the following definition of "the aristocracy," given by General Foy, a distinguished Orator oi me rrencn namDers. "Aristocracy in the 19th centurv is the league, the coalition of those who would consume without producing,live without working, know every thing without learning any thing, carry away all the honors without having descrvea mem,occupy all tne places oj government with out oeing capable oj filling them.
