Jurors and uitnes!n !nvc been summoned to attend on tlio 2d Io l.iay of April, will take particular notice of this. The Hon. Abkl C. Pepper, is announced in the l,ft Indiana Democrat .as a candidate fcr Lieut. Gove -n-T " Indiani. It has been stated that Hon. Thos. J. Fvans would be a candidate also for the same office. This we think is not so, for we see his name announced a:'!:'orily in the last Covington paper, as a candidate for Congress in Ilannegau's District. V writer in the Democrat recommends the Hon. Gamaliel Taylor, as candidate for the office of Governor. We were long since advised that -Mr. Tavlor had a hankering for that otlice. Whether the Van Buren party will have a candidate, is a doubtful question. -Mr. Taylor is a Van Rurenito. I5ut the Hon. David Wallace, will be the only individual, who will be considered a prominent candidate for that office. All others, will be merely scattering votes. Expi noixo. We ask of our readers, a perusal of Mr. Webster's short speech in this day's paper; and then say whether they are in favor of Fxpinr.iNc;. There was always a doubt in our mind as ti the propriety of entering the resolution, censuring the course of the President, on the Journils of the Senate, but when once there, ue arc of the opinion, that no man can honestly advocate the policy of expunging. If the President had violated the Constitution or Laws of his country, in the discharge of his official trust, it appears to us, the true course would have been to impeach l.im. Hut as it is, we believe both the President ami the Senate have violated the Constitution and laws, and if they cannot be brought before any other bar, they eVumld be held accountable by the People. JJroorvii.lk Insurance Company. We lean. rtrl.aUt, that the biil chartering this Company, his passed both Houses, and become a law. This institution will be nearly as much advantage to our citizens as a bank, and be much better than a doubtful bank. It has all the priv'iliges of borrawing and loaning money, dealing in bills of exchange, insuring property and lives, iVc. It also contains a provision for the Company to build a splendid Hotel in the town of Rrookville, to be owned and managed by the company. Such a concern is very much needed in j'rookville at this time, and will add greatly to the beauty, convenience, and reputation of our village. The chartor allows the Company to expend C10,!(!0 in erecting the Hotel. We expect the institution will go into operation early in the spring. Thk Sirplis Revenue. At our latest dates from Indianapolis the Legislature had not finally acted upon the disposition of the Surplus Revenue. A bill had passed the House for sending it to the counties, according to the number of polls, to be loaned out by agents in each county. Wm. 31'Clkeky, Esq. was appointed agent for this county. It could njt bj placed in s:ifer hands. It is an office of great responsibility, and poor salary. Congress. This week, we have no additional proreedidga from Congress, oar Washington and Philadelphia papers hiving failed. We presume, however, thet nothing has been done, except de bating Mr. Fling's rescinding resolution, -Vc. From the Cincinnati Republican. Tews. The following letter from a young gentleman who is now in Texas, to his brother in this city, has been politely handed to ii for publication. La Hacca. Heap Qiwkters ) Dec. 21th, 1S:?0. S ''Dear N. I have just time to write you a line by the express, which leaves for Columbia in a few moments. An express has just arrived from Col. Seiin, of the cavalry, now in the West, bringing intelligence that the Mexicans are in o;ir country with a large force unJor Hustamenie. The number is not known, but presumed to be fifteen or twenty thousand. It is said that Bravo has returned to Vera Cruz, and that it is the intenton to execute Santa Anna on his return to Mexico. There is no doubt as to the truth of this infor mation, so far as the invasion of the Mexican

:ire concerned, and the return of Bravo to Ve-ithe

raCruz, is well authenticated. We have 1 just pitched a new encampment, and 1 am! sorry to leave it; but we are to take up the 'lie of march in a day or two, in the direr tionofthe Colorado.

Washington Jan. 21. 1S37. It is understood that General Santa Anna had an interview with the president of the I'nited States, at the Palace, on Tuesday, and was kindly and courteously received by him. They met again, it is said, a second lime, yesterday. The subject of this conferciucmay be inferred probably from the tenor cf the official papers of which copies were sent to the Senate on Thursday last. J'al. Lili 1 1 '( n c:r. Ten dws i.xter from ErttorE. The packet ship Columbus, at New York, hring London and Liverpool papers to the 18th and 20ih November, furnishing the following intelligence. Charles X, ex-king of France, died at Gortcz on the 12th Nov., aged 78. The nephew' of the Duke of Angouleme was proclaimed king of Fi ance, by his family. The young prince Louis Bonaparte is exiled to America. He has been required to give his word of honor that he will not leave the United States within the next ten years; he at first refused, but yielded on being told that the fate of his accomplices depended upon his compliance. His mother. Queen llorlense, it is said will join her son in America. The money market in London was still agitated from day to day. Slot ks had however recovered a little, and money was, at the latest dates, a little more easy. Produce generally was on the decline, except grain and bread stulTs, which had advanced rapidly. From the Philadelphia Inquirer. LATER FROM EUROPE The packet ship Susquehanna, Captain Cropper, which left Liverpool on the 20t Ecanibir, arrived at the Breakwater on Sunday. Considering that the winds at this season arc gcnei ail i t.a TC,oo, n iv rjunfod as one of the shortest passages that has been made of late years, under similar circumstances, being only tzvrntyfiur days! We learn that on the 2Pth of November, the southern coast of England and northern shores cf France were visited by one of the most terrible hurricanes. The list of shipwrecks is frightful. The barque Isabella. Kurtz, from this city to Amsterdam, had been wrecked on the English coast. The hurricane swept through the midland and southern counties, producing dreadful havoc." Coaches were upset, trees and houses blow n down, and the stocks ot farmyards scattered to the winds. Many lives were lost in dif ferent parts of the kingdom, and much property destroyed by the sudden inundations w hich succeeded the torrents c f rain. London did not escape the fury of the storm, but sulTVred great damage. Don Miguel, tired of inaction, is about to commence a rebellion in Portugal, on the plan of Carlos in Spain 1 here was a m eting of the Royal Guard at Madrid on Use 2th of November. Two hundred and sixty soldiers revolted; but the) w ere subdued, and condemned to be quinternalcd (every fifth nnn to be shot.) As soon as three had suffered, however, Her Majesty, the Queen Ilegent, sent and pardoned the remainder. It is clear tli.it much dissatisfaction prevails against the Christiano cause. Great expeditions were formed in Spain, from the projected landing of Don Miguel in Portugal. The defeat of Gomez is said by the Christiano party to be fatal to the Carlist party; but the Cai lists say it was not half so disasterous as reported. An attempt was made to rob the Paris Bank by some villains, who knocked down Mr. Bouroti, a juiior Cashier. They were apprehended by the Police. Awrri. Fire!!

The inquisition. Don Carlos has re-established the inquisition in Spain. This will combine the priesthood in'his favor. The inquisition is one of the greatest abominations, and one of the most oppressive instruments ot the rommi catholic religion. The pope w ould give us the privelige of such an institu lion, if he could bring us enough under his dominion. The catholic is one in its natuie. though its operations may be impeded w here the bible is circulated. .A. . Observer. A Rat Story. This story brings lo our recollection a well authenticated fact, whh h occurred at Newburyporl, Massachusetts, upwards of five and forty years ago. A brig arrived in that port (from a foreign one) ext,cr.ilj ii.fcio l vifh rats: the owners, after taking out the cargo, had her moored off the wharf with planks leading to the shore; and a smoke was then made in the hold, which pervaded every part of the vessel; the rats took up the line of march for the shore, when, lo the astonishment of the bystanders, there appeared amo:ig them one which was infirm. .... r III I t blind and white Horn age, noiuing in nis mouth a stick, each end of which was carried by another rat! No consideration would have tempted us to hurt those three rats they set so good an example to our species. Yet another. While upon this subject, we will relate another .instance of the sagacity of those animals. If our memory serves, it occured in Berkshire county, Massachusetts; one thing wc are certain of, a well-authenticated account was published in the Wo'chestcr (Massachusetts) Spy. A farmer noticed everyday, when one of his hens came off her nest," there was no egg to be found, and he determined to watch and ascertain the cause; he did so, and no sooner had the hen left her nest with her usual cackle, than came out three rats from a neighboring hole, and having entered the nest, one of them turned over oif his back, whilst the other two rolled the egg on his belly, which he instantly grasped with his tore paws they loou inm iy tne tan. ,1 I .11" I,..

A New York Yankee has invented an improved bee hive, which is said to have the appearance of and to be, in fact, a mahogany side board with drawers, above, and a closet below, with glass doors, to be placed in the chamber cf a house, to be connected with the open air by a tube passing through the wall. The operations of the bess are cleaily seen through the glass doors, and the honey is deposited in the drawers. Georgia. In this State a verv libciil donation has lately been made to Oglethorpe University of five thousand dollars, by Mr. John Fox, of the city of Augusta. This is another gratifying indication of an improved and improving estimate in the South, of the importance of liberal education. It is upon the system of popular or common school education, however, that relianc e is mainly to be placed for increasing the happiness and preserving the liberties of the People; a system which must at all times depend for its efficient existence, not upon individual benevolence, Lul upon wise legislation.
