We were incorrect in stating that Gov. Noble had gone to Cuba. Several of the individuals who mobbed the Temperance Meeting in Bath township, have been bound over to appear at Court. We learn from the Vevay Statesman that the ! Hon. Miles C. Eggleston has been appointed one of the Judges of the Supreme Court of Inaiia. We have not learned whether he has accepted the appointment, but we presume there siue Umto but he will. It is supposed Joseph O. Marshall will be appointed in Eirglestoa's place. The excitement in the State of Rhode Island continues. The President has informed the Governor that he will sustain the present government of that State. Both parties are holding meetings.and the military are constantly kept on watch to quell any riotous proceed-ma-5. should any occur. There have been two very heavy frosts the present week, but we have not learned whether it mate, icily injured the fruit. We have not a word of encouragement for the friends of the White Water Canal. Con well m others are now at Cincinnati nesociasina fivrock. The friends and stockholders of the East Fork Canal are actively engaged to make anher strong pull upon that w ork. The Rich mond Palladium contains a very sensible report npon the subject, and had we a copv we would publish it. Collecting Tour. Since our last we have made a very pleasant tour in the north-western pirt of this county and part of Rush and Faycite to see our friends at their homes for an interchange of socialities. Bv it we have been istrncted. amused and benefitted in heart jroparing us to submit more patiently to the il and vexations of life. In this country all our difficulties are more imasr'marv than real. We know not how one half the world live. In our tour we have found the men generally in - iustrsous in preparing their farms, cheerful and h;ppy, and although their pecuniary circunisvances are low, 3-et with that recuperative eneray of our people, they are buoyed up m hh tape. They treated us kindly and cordially, and although our business was not altogether so aireeable to them, yet their open honesty convinced us that we will be fairly dealt with. The general mass of our ' lieve. are rood. hornet ntiin 1,0 vl moil nn.l ki: ml i 11-u. itiiu eventually will come to our assistance. The women, too, we have found more generally employed in the different branches of domestic m:nufacture than heretofore; and when we ee them with all their tact, ingenuity and industry engaged thus in surrounding themselves and their families with all the necessaries of hfe. it leaves no doubt in our mind of the destiny and prosperity of this country. All the vacillating Presidents and corrupt office-seeking Congressmen cannot prevent such a home AflgKc from once more rendering our people happy and our country prosperous. We are bettered at least 50 per cent, and we look forward with hope. In our travels, we discover there has been a larger portion of wheat sown than usual, probacy double any previous year, and the crops ver looked better. The flv has done no 'mirv in this section e see that very few of our farmers are in n? practice of keeping bees, thereby depriving 'taniselves of the lux'iry of honey, which they tild have with very little expense and troub-ie-The late improvements in the construction of the hive, wilt ensure them to cultivate the jeesw itha tolerable certainty of success. iwut i" im, l.nui.-.. iiseoverea on 'iiuusi e cry one a paicn o, uax. v e were pleased to see it. As we were travelling west e took dinner with Mr. Robert K. Brison. the 'dividual who is announced above as a candidate for Sheriff.

We called upon one cheerful and happy farmcT who ,lad 'een a subscriber to the Indiana American for nine yean., and had always paid punctually. The man informed lis that "lie had written a letter to us some weeks since to dis t0!lllIue Ins paper, as he could pay for it no i auacnea to it tlrnt she could not consent to Pt with it. But her eloquence availed net. Her husband said he loved her, and liked the paper, but the money could not be had. Not discouraged, she then turned to us, and said she believed she could make a little more butter or cheese, and as it was only IGor 17 miles she llo iiiuuijn ui uiose articles if we would take them for the paper. We were glad to accept such an offer; and if our particular friends wish to taste some of the sweetest butter they ever saw let them call at our cottage about the time we receive some of the above named butter. We visited Mr. L. at his fme farm in Posey township, and went over the different parts of it. Every thing appeared to be done just rightAll looked smiling. And although he is far advanced in years (over 60) he was busily en gageu superintending his hands. When we were introduced to the house we found his wife (a beautiful woman, healthy, redcheeked and skin as fair as most of our ladies at 20 or 25) en gaged spinning flax at a little wheel. The wheel was double geared with two spindles and she was spinning two threads at once. She said she could easily spin 30 cuts per day. She showed us several beautiful specimens of lin en and dressed cloth of her spinning and wea ving. They were good enough for a king. Mrs. L. looked so fresh, youngand healthy that we took tier for the daughter instead of the wife. But when we inquired how she had re tained her health and vigor so late in life, it was all quickly explained. She drinks neither tea nor coffee, nor dries vp her hemes and brains irith the funics of that disgusting and fdlhy In dian ireed. She is that kind of a woman that spreads contentment and happiness all around her. But aoinc of our friends will be wanting to know how we succeeded in money matters. Ion't ask altout that matter, if you please seir tlemen. We would rather talk upon some oth er subject. But as we obtained a few dollars, and as we received one So under circumstances that we had a struggle with our conscience whether we should take it, wo will state the circumstances. c called on a farmer who was owing us for the paper for six years, lie has a very small farm and a large family of children, and had been considerably afflicted with sickness, but had managed so as to be but little in debt. But he had no money. And we saw that his very soul was grieved that he could not pay us a part at least. But he told us candidly what his circumstances were and what he would endeavor to do for us. With a firm conviction of his honesty and the safety finally of our debt, we bid him good evening and was about to leave. But on lookins back we saw his wife in earnest conversation with him. lie called us back, and told us that his wife had five dollars w hich she had earned by her own industry by knitting, sewing or weaving which she had leen saving to buy herself and daugh ters some clothing, but had voluntarily offered to let us have it. We took it, doubting at the time whether we were doing right. Who will dare to say the balance of that claim is not safe? Well. We are willing to struggle on and endeavor to keep our head above the waves so long as we have such good and true friend. to sustain us, until better days shall dawn upon us. And although the clouds look thick i.nd gloomy, by industry and economy we will en deavor to fisht our way. Our news from Washington is quite unimportant. We refer the reader lo the letter of the 18th inst. for a synopsis of the proceedings. llCf We understand that Cited, drawn by E. D. John in Texas on the Lawrenceburgh Branch of the State Bank of Indiana, have been presented at their counter in this place, and refused payment for the want of funds to meet them. iMirrcnccbunrh Beacon.

These are probably true; and at any rate our next advices from India will probably apprise us that every portion of the late conquering army in Afghanistan has been swept from the earth. The Government, both in India and England, is preparing to sustain its pretensions to that country by heavy reinforcements. There is nothing later from China. On eat Britain. Sir Robert Peel has brought in a project for an income tax of 2. 18s. id. percent, on all incomes over 150. which is expected to add X3.7'.KUKK) to the revenue. ! lie also proposes a tax on the incomes of absen ce proprietors in Ireland; an increase of the spirit duty m ditto, and an excise on the of coal, which together will add some S20.0OJ.vx..i per annum to therevenue. He also proposes a new tariff reducing the duties on mmv articles, and abolishing prohibitions. The principle of Protection to Home Industry, and preference to the products of British possessions. careiuny preserved; and the reduction will probably increase rather than diminish the enue. There is little doubt but that this project will prevail. - There is little else of interest in Europe. The Circassians have been carrying the war into Kussia with success, and the Greeks are apprehending hostilities from the Turks, but it appears without foundation. The markets are still depressed, cotton dull, and a shade lower. except tor the best American qualities. A word as to our own matters. The smoke has not yet cleared away from ourcharterelection, but the Whigs have fairly carried 10 of the 17 wards, and will govern the city for the next year, unless robbed of what is fairly theirs. I fear they will contrive to cheat us out of the Board of Assistants; the Aldermen are ours beyond question. The excitement is verv considerable. Money matters look better. Trade is mid dling.

Lucas, lying at Maysville on Friday evening, where she had been discharging freight. She had a large number of passengers on board, and a large quantity of freight. The passengers escaped with life, but lost their baggage. The loss is very great. The fire was occasioned by a candle in the hold aft, and almost immediately enveloped the whole boat. Cin. Giz. Jforsc Stolen. On Monday night last. Mr. John Glass, who keeps tavern ten miles from this place on the Lawrenceburgh road, had a horse stolen from his wagon at a tavern 10 miles this way from Lawrenceburgh. On Tuesday, Mr. Glass pursued the thief some 20 or 30 miles, overtook him, recovered his prop erly, lodged tlie gentleman thief safely in limbo, and relumed back again to the '16 mile house' to pursue his journey. Decatur Scnfinrl. Illinois Money. Judge Lockwood of Illinois has decided both at the Mornan and Greene Circuit Courts, that the School Commissioners are bound to receive bills of the State Bank of Illinois, in payment of principal and interest of the college, seminary, or school funds. If this decision is sustained, it will bring up the paper materially in Illinois. Wn it e-water Canal. The Connersville (la.) Telegraph thinks that the stock required to finish this very important work will not be taken. The subscriptions, opened for the work, have thus far been trifling. That paper adds. "Judging from the subscription of this county, which is fifty thousand dollars less than it should have been, we are forced lo the conclusion that unless there is a greater effort made to induce holders of capital to engage in the work, that the people of the Wh'le Water valley may relinquish the hope of ever seeing this work completed, but on the contrary, it will re- ! main a public nuisance a Frog Pond from Cambridge city to Brookville.'
