Prir'. to one o'clock, two Bills were finalv pi-- .'J, the one discussed yesterday, till one (ul.k, providing for the payment of the milL"tarv corps of volunteers, now in the service of tlie United States, and the other, a Bill Yin the Senate, making provisions for a hacf extension cf the Bank Charters in the I:-tr!ct of Columbia. Both of them passed niiliout any discussion, when the Orders of t'lePiv were called for, and the relief Bill reserved for discussion. Mr. Wise, of Virginia, took the floor, at an c ar! v hour, in the discussion, in support of the doctrines laid down by them, yesterday, tint the treasury should receive, keep and d.iiwrse tlie public money, and that the monev paid for imposts, by the importer, into the km. I of the collector, should, from that moment !.e considered as belonging to the public treasury, and that the collector should imnkJiatelv deposite such moneys into the National or Deposite Banks. In support of his argument, he contended, that the collector, who held money in his hands, to be paid over, at a time almost optional to himself, might use this money, which, in fact, belonged to the publiek treasury, for the purpose of fraud and corruption. With it, he might speculate in stork, in politics, in any thing he chose. And when such authority had money enough to sustain it, there is no telling how great is the mischief which may be done, and which has; hccn done by the collectors. This was the signal for amendments, which came before tlie House thick as flakes in a snow storm. Hardin, of Kentucky, presented two, one, of which, was adopted, and tho othor rejected. Craves, of Kentucky, offered two, both of which were rejected Garland, of Louisana, offered two, both of which were rejected. Robertson, of Virginia, offered two both of which were rejected. Ihitcc J. l'earce, of Rhode Island, offered one, which was rejected; and so on, through 1 long and uninteresting chapter of proposals and rejections. Two or three motions were made to ad journ, after 4 o'clock, but were negatived. A motion, that when the House adjourned. it meet again on I uesday, Monday being the Anniversary of Washington's Birth day. This motion was sustained bv a large majori tv. Further amendments were then offered, the Ayes and Noes taken, till dark, when the House adjourned without the passage of the Bill, which will, probably, be resumed again to-morrow. The Senate were in session to-day, but dull, duller, dullest. A multitude of persons were there, in the morning, a number there an hour after the session begun, and comparatively none when the session was finishedNo Tulilick business was transacted, to-day, hv a special .-inpointmenl being taken up in j

The County Commissioners of this county meet Monday next, at w hich Session they wil 1 appoint Assessors to assess under the new advalorem Law, ; some extracts from which we have -i veil in this days paper. Iforrihlc Tragedy. It becomes our painful duty to record one of tlie darkest deeds in the annals of crime. On Saturday the 27th Feb. in the neighborhood of Liberty, Union Co. Ia. and 15 miles from this place, a man by the name of Isaac lleler, murdered his whole family his wife and three children'.'.! The circumstances are reported to be of tlie most aggravated nature. It appears that some of tlie neighbors had called at tlie residence of lleler, and told him that unless he would go to work and maintain his family, that the proper officers would attend to it, and hi family would become a County charge. This appeared somewhat to incense him. He is represented as being a hale, robust man, not given to dissipation, but extremely improvident and indolent. After these persons had left the house, he rose and lifted the axe from beneath the bed telling hi wife that he was going nut to chop, and passing behind where she was sitting with the child in her arms, struck her to the iloor literally splitting her down. A girl, a sister to the wife, being present and seeing the stroke thus made at her sister, flew to give the alarm, but before relie.'" could reach the place the work was done!! The wife after receiving the perpendicular stroke was heard by the retreating girl to srive one scream. He then threw the children on the floor, and severed their heads from their bodies with such violence that the weapon stuck in the floor, and as reported by himself, they made no noise. The murderer had fled when the alarm had called any assistance. Hut immediate pursuit being des patched he was overtaken six or eight miles on the Drookville road and surrendered without resistance, only giving in justification of the act that "they were likely to become a county charge, and that he would rather see them in their present situation." He is said to have answered the pursuers very composely and sedately by no means agitated Said he knew very well what he had done. And when before the inquiring court was equally calm and unflurried. It is said that he has been guilty of murder before, in Western Penn. and convicted by a jury, but reprieved by the Executive, on the plea of in sanity. Some of the particulars of this case are reported to be these. He had two brothers living neighbors, with one of whom he was then residing. He was discovered one morning before the family rose to be making some arrangements in the house that alarmed them. They rose and fled to the house of the other brother, not thinking at all of a child an orphan child living with them and left in a bed. After reaching the place of retreat, the woman thinking of the child, mentioned it, observing that he could bear no malace against the child. The two brothers however returned to the deserted house and found that he had murdered the child in bed, and fled. After being taken standing a trial, and finally being reprieved, he came to Indiana, and at the suggestion of some friends, dropped his true name, which was Young, fc assumed that of Heler, that being a middle name from his mother. There are some suggestions that he is now insane. He some five or six months since said that he was in sane, and frequently told persons that he had an inclination to kill his wife and family. He is now safely lodged in the Liberty Jail. ArVGen. R. M. Sanders, of North Carolina has been nominated to the Senate as Minister to Spain Gen. Harrison. The Legislature of Kentucky has nominated this distinguished gentleman, as candidate for the Presidency. Lieut. Wallace. The citizens of Fountain County gave a public dinner to the Representatives from that county, on their return from Indianapolis, as a testimony of their approval of their course in the last Legisla'ure in support of Internal Improvements. Lieut. Governor Wallace was present at tlie dinner, and in response to tlie following toast, mave the company a short speech, characterized -,. , ,,, l,inn(,11,.P. an( sound iudrcmend his otlicial title bv striking out the word I.ieutenant li.e motion to my on tne tame , , c . 0. . , . .. . .., u nreme hench of this Mate, but we ha e ne er oe- , , . . . n , ir ,,. fore heard it intimated that the Hon.

comparative nuc f.s. j

We have, for some time, endeavored to compile,! lor our readers, once a month, the comparative prices, of produce, A:c. in the principal cities in the United States, and also, in several towns in Indiana, but we find that this information, is sometimes hard to be obtained. We shall, however, continue to give the prices from our last, and most authentic sources: Boston Market, Feb. 12. Of the prices in this market we seldom give any account, in such utter abhorence do we hold their manner of reckoning. If we have a ational coin and a Yttionat curren-

It will be seen by an article on our first page that the Rank of the United States has been re-charted by the Legislature of Penn. We also learn by the Philadelphia papers, that there has been a meeting of the Rward of directors of the Rank, who have accepted the new charter. The bank has the same power to locate branches in other States, that it had under the old charter, and we see arrangements making already for establishing agencies or branches in some of the States. Ohio Legislature. From the following extracts from the proceedings of the Ohio Legislature, it will be seen that the bill granting Indiana the right of way for the White Water Canal has passed the lower house. It may pass the Senate, but we expect nothing which is even just, honorable or right, where, such men as Elijah Vance, of Hamilton have the control of matters: HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
