tail.tre. -The failure of our paper t; ivriive ut Mi-ta.r.ora. Laurel, Andcisooville and a'l ihe northwestern offices, and at Ulooming Grove, Conner ide, and all the northern office, the last week, n they should have done, is owing to the fncl that the Post M ister here sent the Con-
norsvill? miil to Rushville and ihe Rushille mail to Connersviile. This is rather petplexing to otir subscribers, but Mr. Burton is a pretty e ireful post mister, and th i is among those accidents which we a re all more or less nlject to. But a few uch accidents would wear out our patience.
Health. The atmosphere laving hee me cooler and purer, the health of the country is Improving. The White Water valtey has heen afflicted the last month whh a more th in u-.ua! number of cases of rver an I ague. And although this disease is very loathsome, yet it is seldom fatal. WbEaT. In our lan paper we stated that our merchants were paying 55cent for wheat. This was true. Dut we regretted publishing the fact. We knew at the lime it was more than the market price and more than tentibie wn would give. The price wbs advanced here to 55 cents by some ill-advised men. who, if they had their own way, would soon drive all businei from the town. There is nothing that
ran be more injurious to the bitiinev-s of
a place than fluctuating prices, without reason or foundation. Without any cause for two day, 55 cenW was paid the word went abroad and so soon as wheat commenced coming, it was put down again, without any reduction at other points. The consequence was, wagoner left here cursing the place, for holding out inducements for them to co:ne here, and then disappointing them. We a;e almost tempted to publish the offender's name, and shall do so if it is repeated. If they are disposed to advance il.e price ofwhrut, let them do so, but not offer a high price, and so soon as the wheat routes refuse to ivc the advanced price. If we hve among us a party of men, who have not credit i-r courtesy enough to buy wheat, or any oihir produce, at a fnir price, nnd at what commercial men are paj it!g, let us endeavor that they s'la'.l Dot destroy the business and character of or'.nvir..
The V.ilcn Co. Cini.it tou.-i been j in session since last Monday week. There J was nothing before the Court of public interest, except probably the tri:il of Dr. Charles K. Pier, the paiiner of Pr. Carter -line, on some five indictments for larceny. This notorious srour.diel Tier, whosr whole life appears t. ben cotv.inued sucecsstott of fraud, impositions and violations of law, and who hs been imposed upon the public by pretended honest men, but who are really as bad at heart as himself, has t list heen convicted of one of
his crimes, (thr.t of u alttsg a watch) and sentenced to the Penitentiary for 3 years On yesterday, it in understood, the Conn proceeded to try him on some of the w'.her indictments, that of stealing two horses and a cai riae, &c. Ac. We think there is now but litt'e doubt that Pier will get someol the reward of his deeds, unless he be successful in that last tcsort nf scoundrel executive pardon. A history of his reckless impositions, daring exploit in deeeption, horse stealing, seducticn, Ac. Ac. would form a book, and equal prohahly the history of old Tuff's. His crimes are all committed w ithout the least pre.ned.iated
caution, but he has more than ordinary tact in defence. He is a German, or Frenchman, of talents and education, open and insinuating in his deportment never at rase apparently one of the kindest and most octal of beings agreeable in his manners and intercourse. Devoid of conscientiousness, cautiousness Mid destructivencss. He can pre.u-h a good sermon when necessary make a good democratic speech
or plea at i'i brr--and has been more
. ..tild not do If he were the scoundrel ihey represent him to be. We expect we are probably brtter acquainted personally with Mr. Dunn than tiny of our. brethren in the Slate are. And although he has no acted a correct! v and as discreetly a some f out brethren, yet w e are sorry to say there
are many of theui whose characters are more vulnerable than his. And some of those w ho do not hesitate to make ungentlenianly personal allntions are tho last ones that should broach the subject. We have nerer approved of his political
principles, and we have been acquainted with him for seventeen yeart. He has t een a shrewd political manager zealous, Consistent and unwavering. But unfortunately for him, in an evil hour he spoke
the truth of the leaders of his party. No one has ever doubted the truth, to our
knowledge, of his charges upon W'hiiromh
and Bright, and he having too much firm
ness to backcul or be driven out, he now
has to feel the weight of that political mace
which he has helped to raije. He is to be
put down. This is a sure and certain as
any contingent event. And as a friend
mat ret nas some interest lor m pecuniary welfare, we advise him to sell out bis establishment, or remove so fai that it will not be their interest to crush him. The Beacon must be discontinued. None have ever thus erred and lived. This powerful political inquisition is the foundation of their party. The orders that are issued from head quarters, are carried out by the drill sergeants. The Beacon may linger for a season, and like the dying martyr, shine most gloriously in its dying struggles. But Dunn has not the capita' nor
that insurmountable energy neressary to oppose successfully all the power and influence of that parly which is held together by the ' cohesive power of public plunder." Some t .v o years since Dunn w as sued for a libel, and a judgment obtained against him of $700. It was a most outrageous
and infamous judgment discreditable to an enlightened community, and disgraceful to cur law.. We could never respect the laws of our country that sustained or justified such a verdict, nor the men that were the im-irumcnts ol it execution. This judgment too. we expect is impressing Mr. Dunn. Aid this suit too, is the foundation upon which some of the editors found their tharge of 'libeller" We know-
net what has been done with that judgment, but if it be collected, we hope the receiver will suddenly share the fate of him of w hem we read in the 5ih chapter ol Acts, who kept back part uf the price of his land. We would rather our brethren would be more com teous in their battles. We acknowledge w e have done wrong in th's re
spect, often in tnr.es of excitement. But we hope and trut that a we are getting older we are improving. Politicians for whom e are laboring, fighting and abusing each nher will be the first to kica or proscribe us. Ii has never yet been discovered by the nnst powerful micioscopc

they contend is riiilil. And who doubts ill It is lie right way for them to live in ease and opulence. . But Ve never envy a lawyer his riches w hich he has accumulated by defending villians, and abusing good wen. Tht. practice ol the law can be a
respectable calling, but money is the ru
ling object, and with many lawyers he who
has the largest pile is the best man. But
w e have seen so many villians released by lawyers that we have Inn much feeling to
write dispassionately upon the subject.
The Register truly says:
" 'Time was." says an exchange, "when
crime was wicked nes; now it is mental bberaiion. Time was, when shooting- a
neighbor vat murder; now it is an unfortunate aff.iir. Time was, "when seduction was a fiendish act; now it is an nffair ol the
heart. Time was, when taking the prop
erty of another man was downright theft;
now it is simple default!' Such is really
the case a man may commit almost any
crime under the canopy of Heaven, and if
he has money to procure legal aid, he will go "unw hit l of justice.'' Here we have
iwo instances in our own town within very short period the ease of Jackson and the case of the counterfeiter who es
caped j .ait last week legal aid let him out
of jail and the bird is flown. "Alas, for
the degeneracy of the age." The ends of justice are no longer accomplished counterfeiters, thieves and murderers prowl nboiil. and morality groans not. and their friends chuckle at their good luck' In this general denunciation of lawyers,
we are glad to know there are honorable exceptions men who love a good conscience belter than money.
loiter enceburg Branch. We learn that the breaks have been repaired, and thai the water is .now in the Lawrenceburgh branch of the White Water Canal. It vvill be seen also that they have a Lath Machine in Lawrenceburgh, which is doing a a fine business.
As tre Expected. It w ill be seen by ref erence to the letter of our correct end at
lenlive correspondent Cm," that C. M. Clay has determined on re-commencing his Paper. The plan as set forth cannot succeed. It s liable to more obstructions and greater prejudice than its publication at Lexington. But we do not care where it is printed, o that it is edited and published at Lexington. If Providence will on ly siant Mr. Clay life and health, we believe the day is not far d Mailt when the Lexington mob witl legret their rashness.
Hon. Will mm Daily, of Fayette county, is a candidate fr the U. S. Senate. It would be needless for us to say an thing in his favor, fr he is so good at puffing that it will superee le the necessity. He will doubtless urge his claims with great strength, and should he he successful ihe honors will mi blmhirtg upon him. We
have no doubt it would be advantageous
to the White Water Valley to have him in
the U.S. Senate, as he would doubtless favor a hich tariff upon h,)g. He w ould be of rt.it veight in the political scales of his
country. Should he be elected we will rgrre never to call him ' Bill'' any more, but treat him w uh that deference due his high standing. His entering the field at this time must give his cotempoiariessome uneasiness, as it is saiJ he has given good evidence of speed in former races.
Ycllatr fever. We learn that Ihe yellow fever broke out in New Orleans on the Dih inst, later by some month than il has usually made it appearance there. Five or six cases occurred the first day of its appearance. We were in strong hopes this dreadful scouige would not visit that try iIih season. The merchant were
m iking tiieir arrangements f-r an early fall business. But stranger vvill not now dare to visit them for several vveek.

A Vindication and Disclosure.
The Public has long suspected -that
some disclosure, like that foreshadowed
below, would be forth coming, whenever Mr. Ct.av considered the res-:is for hi silence, whether a matter of honor and confidence, or merely self-imposed, as at an end. The National Intelligencer has rectived a specimen of Cohort's Life of lhat greatest statesman of our times; and at its page 150, vol. I, finds the following passages: "Numerous have been the occasion, as all know, when Mr. Clay might have laken the popular breeze, and been wafted to ihe highest pinnaclt- of ambition w hen. too. a was thought and argued bv his

But, always judging for himself, as every man n.ust do in all cases of casuistry, which can be settled only by the feelings of hi own heart, his answer ba uniformly been, when compelled by the decisions of conscience, lo dissent from others, in such debate; 'I had rather be right, than be President.'

But magnanimity, and lhat to a political opponent, who wu himself the agent in thv transaction, ha hitherto kept the key to the secret. In a fmare pge of this work it will be unlocked."

CINCINNATI, "3d Sept. h4;. Mr. Kditoh; If you have ever been In

impunity. There is now. however, n fair
prospect that this slate of thing will he changed. J. H. Caldwell, Esq , the Pres

eepted, by which he agree? on the patt of ihe Co. to lay down ten mile of trains

average rate charged piivate consumers in New York, New Oi leans, R.iltimore. Louisville, and Pittsburgh; and farther, to make a deduction of six per cent on ihe price of each lamp, at the time of quarter
ly settlement. If the city decline thi pioposiiion.it vvill be conclusive evidence that it loves darkness rather than light. It was laid on ihe table for one week, but it is understood ihe council are generally in fa for of it. It is becoming quite popular here, or quite common at least, lo get up Fairs for all sorts of purposes. On recently held in favor of on of our Fire Compauir. cleared about $1400.

Villainy enough for one week. Cassiu M. ('lay has concluded to print hi paper in this city. The work i to be done at the office of Mr. Mendenhall. Clay vvill remain hiirself al Lexington, forw aid hi eiliioria's here, and have the paper sent lo him. and mailed from lhat place. The arrangement seems rather Mineling. and we think vvill be attended w ith difficulty. If the citizen of Lexington would not admit the continuance of his press among them, it is not at nil 1 1 k I y ihey vvill quietly see packages of hi inflammable sheels arrive weekly among them, charged with Ihe same exciting mailer of w hich they complained befme. Ii can make no difference where the paper is published, so far as it influence is concerned, and we predict that the Kentuckians
will lay violent bauds on his punted com
modity, in less its character is greatly i h inged. He must mail ihem h.re in or
der lo insure their circulation. Some week since the abolitionists challenged Dr. Ilice. the well known proteinic
divine, to meet Mr. Blanchard. a their
champion in public discussion nf the prop
osition, whether the relation of muster and slave is in itself sinful, and nerearily so.
Dr. Mice accepted, and the debate is to
commence on the first of Octoher, to con
tinue one week. A reporter frm Louisville has been emploved, and the debate is
in be pub.ished as soon as pos.ihle after its completion, and the copyritihi sold lo one ofoiir city publishers. The discussion crow out of the report of the Old School General Assembly, made and adopted here
al it session last spring, in which ihey declare ihe aforesaid relation not necesanlv
siuful.aud that it sh'ld not lo be made a let
of christian communion. Both gentlemen
are men of talent, nil I intimaiely acquainted with the sulvp-ct, but Dr. Ilice is much ihe ablest debater. Those who like such kind of debates will dotiMless he well entertained by the speakers.

Stealing. Some person is publishing Note by the Way" iivthe Madion Ban
ner, from which we extract the following. The traveller stole part of, hi ideas aboul
Religion distilleries from Charles Elliott,
of the Christian Advocate. He i a little
more personal than the editor, but so
much the better."
'A few mile above Rising Sun we he gan to see ahead of u other vast columns of smoke which told UBoioin machinery. At Aurora w e lonnd two distilleries;
at Petersburg!!, on the opposite side, two
miles above, one; and at Lawienreburgh, two miles further, I wo that seemed capable of swallowing up all the iel. I can tell you now why I judged the whisky made at Rioing Sun must be a common
article. The proprietor. Lanmsand Atheron, are but common tinners, clever fellow s, it is Hue; but here we have the real Christian article. And. sir, the veriest biL'ol can be accomodated w ith hi own li king. If he i a Calvinisl, let him stop al Aurora and partake of a good Presbyterian article. If nn Armenian, he can find as excellent a Method!! establishment as he could wish ai Lawrenceburgh: But if a
firm believer in Apostolic succession, he
ran be accomodated with it at New Law-
rencebiiiKh by an excellent Episcopalian; but. il nenhei oflhese i sufficiently vaterp, let him cross the river ro IVtersburnh. and
he can be literally immersed iu it by a Baptist. Now, sirs, .it is not part of :nv
bjeci in these notes lo interfere with
men's private affairs, but really I can hard
ly refrain from recommending to ihe proprietors of the Rising Sun eiallidi nient to become Christians nr abandon their concern, for w ith such odd against ihem they must fiil."

Whether thi arrangement trirt or can be c rrie I out reii.aitw lo be seen.

It i understood thai Mr. Bright will not be a candidate for reelection and ihe name of Will. A. Gorman of Ihe ''Old Hunker" and a Mr. Chandler of the Wabash, of ihe 'Voting Democracy ,' are mentioned as the most prominent candidates, and most probably the contest will be between those gentlemen. I ihink ihe name nf Judge Dew ey and Sullivan will he sent into ihe Senate for confirmation. Il would he so unusual a procedure for a Governor to repudiate hi ow n appointment by not sending them in that I cannot believe Governor Whjicoinh wil! withhold Ihem. Besides this, he know that the great mas of ihe people, without regard lo party , w ih ihe bench to remain a it is.

. from ihe Cincinnati Gazette. Civil War in Illinois. In the vicinity of Nauvoo, there has been another outbreak, about the 10th or 11th inst. A body of old settlers or anti-Mormon, held a convontion in a house a short distance from Warsaw. They were attacked bv a body of men. who advanced upon them under cover of ihe wood, w ith fire arm. The discharge riddled the door and windows of the house in which ihe convention sat, and wounding one man severely. T.isJ old seitlers ai;d their friends armed ihemselve. Mormon families fled to the icily of Refuge, Naiivo. and many families of the old settlers sought protection in Warsaw. At night four building were burnt to the ground.

Gentlemen: We write in haste to inform you of a serious disturbance that has
laken place in ihe upper part of this coun
ty, between a portion ofihe '-old citizens"
of thi and Hancock county, and the Mor
mons. A gentleman belonging to this c ity returned from Lima, in the vicinity ol
the outbreak, lasi evening, and informs us
that on Tuesday last the anti-Mormons at
racked a settlement know n by the name of
' Moreley's Settlement," a short distance
north-east of Lima, in this counlv, and
that up n the time he left, ttcenty-fce or thirty houses had been burnt, togt ther
with several barn and wheat stacks.
The excitement wa very great, and large
number of antivMormoii9 were pouring
in from the adjoining counties and from
Missouri, and they were still burning and
destroying property, and were determin
ed to drive the Mormons out of the coun
try. Our informant saw about fifty Mor
mons under arms, within about two miles from the settlement, who appeared determined to defend themselves. It was in
contemplation by the anti-Mormons to
attack two mure settlements last evening

what is staled in the ahove letter, we

be about three hundred strong. He wa
also at the camp of the Mormons, and
found them to be about one hundred. Af
ter leaving the camps, he returned to Warsaw, where he remained for some time, and learned there lhat the Mormon
had all moved into Nauvoo, and that Back
enstos, the Mormon Sheriff, had ordered out the Legion, to arrest those who had
commenced these disorders. If this reprort should be true, and the Legion turns out. a conflict i inevitable. A letter to Messrs. Maihewr A Patch, of this city, on Saturday evening, from Warsaw, says lhat business was suspended on account of the difficult ie with the Mormons, and ihat several house had been burnt and live lost.

On Wednesday an 1 Tuesday, after brief vv araing lo the occupants, the burning of

and did so. They met in cotmc I Edson

were ready. im ever, to receive any posi

' We, the undersigned, a Committee
appointed by the Moorley and Hancock
settlements, (a branch of the Mormon
church ) Whereas, a there seems t
te some difficulty Let ween said body and
ihe Hiiii-Mormon. e, a representative
of said body, wish to make some proposi
tions so as io make peace. We wish to sell our deeded land as well also a our improvements, as low a it could be reasonable expected reserving to ourselves the crops now on the premise and will
lake in exchange, working cattle, beef cat
He, cows, sheep, horses, wagons and har
ness, store good, and any available prop
eriy, and give possession as soon a our
crop can betaken off. and receive the pav
for the same, the whole of which may be purchased from the undersigned, acting as
Committee, or from the respective own ers. DANIEL TAYLEK, HORACE S. RAWS0N, MARCELLUS McKOWN, SAMUEL ALGER."
Mr. Whitney remarked to the commit
lee that he believed their proposition
would he unsatisfactory in one particular:
that if they had lo buy out a bad neighbor
to get rid of him, he would like to know
what distance he would remove from him. The commit lee replied they would not agree to leave Hancock, nor would they say in what part of lhat county they would again settle. It is useless perhaps to add thai the interview amonnted to nothing; and the work of destruction commenced again that evening. On (to day) Saturday several more buildings were burned. In passing along a road about three quarter of a mile distant, about 3 o'clock, I saw the smoke and flame of two rising upon the ir. On arriving at Lima I ascertained the buildings were situated about a mile and a half from that place. Many men were collected in groups in the
street, and the door and the windows nf
the house were filled w iih women A chil dred looking in silent despair upon Ihe work of the de.troymg element. When the work of denirticiion w ill stop. God only knows. The feeling i deep and intense, and eviiemeni roniinual y spreading. Up lo Friday morning, a near a I could ascertain, twenty-three building were burned During last night audio day the number i prohahly swelled to thirty, or perhaps more. The parly engaged in the work go undisguised, in broad day light, and apply the torch. So Tar no one ha bean injured, nr ha any proper
ty. I wa told, been destioyid let houses, except by accident. Spark from some of the building, feil upon a fw grata
stack, which ignited. and were consumed
The parlv which first commenced the
Work ol destruction did not amount to
more than twenty or thirty. What tlio number : now cannot be ascertained. The snii-Morinoiw, not engaged jn bum. ing. are collecting and preparino to Rpt
upon the defensive. I ii'idistooi n meeting i.f anti-Mot mnns was to be held nt Carthage to-day. What it wilt amount
io time will determine. The Mormons are encamped about three mile form
whe'e the scene of destruction first com
menced. The number on Friday was variously estimated from one to ihree hun
dred but an hour's lime may gre ally sw eil
their ranks. Iiotli parties are well arm
ed, and all the ami-Mormons iih whom
I have conversed, expressed the belief that
the work of destruction could not be stav
ed until ihe Mormons were driven into
Nauvoo. Time w ill either confirm or ne2-
ative this belief.
Our account by the last boats are
brought down to Sunday niaht. The work, of destruction wa progrpspjii mid exlending itself with hourly increasing violence. The anti-Mormon, it is understood, hve taken measure to secure a
general concentration of forces from f ir and near, and they declare that they will
not slop short of the expulsion of everr
Mormon from Hancock county in vvhicli Nauvoo is situated. It i said, lint up i
Sunday night about sixty houses had been burned dow n iu Adams and Hanoi -k counties. Captain Dunn i at the head of four or five hundred anti-Mormons from Au
gusta, and expresses! a determination loprolect iheir friend of lhat party against the Mormon.
Interesting from Mexico, Just as we are iooia lo press, we learn lhat the government ha received some interesting information from tne capital of Mexico to the 23 I August, and from Vera Cruz to Ihe 30th. inclusive. Ii is sa:d. I rum ihe capital, lhat Ihe new rahinet n considered as opposed lo ihe w ar; and, even if it were o'herwie disposed, ii ha not ilu mean tr carry on a w ar; that ii is . jib ihe greatestdifficulty it can rai-e them.Mns to defray it necessary daily expenses; and that the war excitement is going tlow n daily among all parties.
