The early part of the day was devoted to the reception of Resolutions, in purport as follows.

The House proceeded with the regular business of the day, which Was the call of the Mates ror resolutions. A great number were offered, some of which were laid over for debate. Others were adopted, thus keeping the committees, whose motivewheels they in part constitute, abundantly supplied with food and sustenance. At the State of Mississippi, the call was abruptly broken off, leaving the few Slates (and Territories) that follow on the list without an opportunity of introducing their resolutions. The cause of the trepidation into which the House was thrown, and which led to its precipitate adjournment, ws a resolution, offered by Mr. Jacob Thompson, to supply the reporters of the city press with copies of bills, &c, in order to enable them the better to keep the public mind informed of the public business. The absence of such facilities is a loss to the constituent body, not to the reporters. On ii. e Rcorc of expense, the bills and reports dmly trodden under foot, or heaped uselessly on the back of tbe fire, would be greater in comparison. Any one who has observed tUe proceedings of Congress, when importaut bilis are under discussion, will have noticed the constant reference made to i ne in ui order to understand the character and scope cf their varioud provisions.

Another Fearful Accident Eighteen Lices ZiOi-'f. We have reports uf one of ihose terrible collisions that occur some limes o'.i our river, and for which there is no excuse whatever. The steamer Congress, hcen !'mg the river, and the Saladi. bound down, met her it Piinceton, on the Mississippi, on Saturday, the 14;h i:it., nod while the latter was rounding to, she ni l into the former a little all of the boilers, and sur.k her in deep water in a few minutes. Furtunatcly the cabin of the Congress floated off, and thereby saved the lives of most of the cabin passciigeis. The boilers vvete thrown down; the first engineer badly fcalded, and second supposed to be lost.

bijooivVil.l,l:, Indiana FRIDAY. FEB. 27.1346. Politic --We hope our (net ds ul not be in a hurry in urging ui into the contest for Governor and Lieut Governor. Al though we claim to be as good a whig as any one, aird are distinctly,) wholly, une qn vocally, and thorough ly in favorofour ' n ible file leaders, Marshall and Orth, yet we feel a reluctance to n'cr the political campaign. Politics is almost offensive to ns, and we believe thepeorleare tired of ii. When we think the time lias arrived, and the opposing hosts approach, there shall be no uncertain sound in our voice. We are whigand it matters not whether we be defeated seven times, or seventy and seven times, we shall be as ready ever to do batile for Whig princi ides or Whig men. We want to heat no cratj2 bmil Clarkson's coldness to wards any Whig candidate. There is none such existing. We believe we have two noble champions, around whom we can rally in the approaching contest with con Slence aad safety. Pardvns. On our first page will be found Gov. Whitcomb's letler,'giving his reasons for not pardoning the Negro woman in the Cer.trevilie Jail, about which'the Jefferso nian has so much to say. This is asolita ry case, that has come lo our knowledge of the Governors refusing to pardon. th"w case, neither the convict nor her friends, had any voles, consequently there WHj no inducement for Whitcomb to ex eicise his seluMi schemes. Why do hii friends make somuch parade of this old negro woman case? The reason is, he takes this solitary case, to show he does not always pardon indiscriminately. He a ,d hls fr,cnds are we,come 10 8,1 lhe Cap iial they can make out oi" i t. Arnold takes the field again. We see by the Rising Sun paper, that Danl. Kelso has announced his name as a candidate for State Senator from the counties of Switz ertand and Ohio.

New Albany, Feb. 12,1846. Mr. Editor.- In the last notice I gave you of my whereabouts, I had retired," as you will remember, to my "State Room No. 19'' to seek in the embraces of nature's 6weet restorer balmy slee that repose, which the excitement of the lay and lhe late hour of the night, hid rendered essentially necessary to meet the obligation of the coming day. I waa ensconced in the up per birth and had passed off to the sea of dream thought, leaving behindme the very thadows .of sentiinental reality, when "sudden as the spark from smitten steel.' 1 was startled from my couch, by some miserable ghost of a night wanderer, stum bling and blundering through the boat as if bo walked with a giants weight, in shoes of iron, muttering a sentence of Lynch laws ngait al! such robbers of sleep and midnight difotubfrs I once more made an ef fort to compose myself to my slumber; but happening to throw my hand behind me to tuck the kiverM down close to my side, I learned to my sad disoomfiture, that blan ket, qi'!t, sheet, bed and all had undergone a complete hydraulic saturation. Not bav ing all my waiting senses in operation, be wildered and astonished, 1, wondered whee all this world of waters had ils fountain. I hi.l t-erunis fears that something had hap. prncd, 'where am I" said I lo myt-elf, and the sn.-'ver came up slow ly and truthfully on bviard of lhe t. utter in No. 19, uezt to the Imlits cabin." ".Vex to the ladies cab in. and pray where has all this water come frot.i" thought 1. My dander was up, and I deter mineJ my wr&tb should instanter throw scalding stcnin upon the guilty spir its who wiih nniice prepense were disturbing lhe night tenants of the "Cutter." tlul the sober second thought brought me to icmembcr that I bad only paid my pas sac for Li.uisville, and that the boat was already at the whaif, and now it only remai.ied fur me to leave, or be a quiet and peaceable inhabitant for the night of "IVo. PJ." Just ihe.i happening to hear the rain as it beat in intermitting ehTwers upon the hurricane deck. I resolved at once to lower my condition in this world by taking the under birth. Finding a few clothes partiaJy drj.l wrapt them affectionately around my humble body and was soon once more ready for a gaily trip to the land of Abf. All was still, and again, I was a denizen of the world of dreams, moving amid the heah thy and bappy throng of the mind's nigbt empr;. All, and everything was bright and fa r.the love'.y and the beautiful flitted by anJ around me every where as the emblems of light and the angels of truth and purity. !iut reckless of him who had peaceable and sleeping possession of "Nr. 19" a push was made at the door by some hand or power, and my eyes were once more forced to give a few more untimely glances at the contracted and glow;n interior of No lSJ.' It was after midnight and here was before me the prolongated gambling mortality, pf whit 1 must acknowledge as "a fellow passenger,'" hunting a birlb not for the night, but for the morning. "Stranger" said I in view f ridding myself of too near a neighbor, in the perron nf a Iliver black leg. "Slranjrer you will find that upper birth tbtrc. a damp, place to build a nest at this late hour." My h key' id h, as be put bis lortg hand ever '.he uppot birth- "I

cant Ftaud this. I must have a little sleep

somewhere." Aiid off he went for drier quarters leaving rno for the rett of the night, the grateful and sole possessor of No. 19. Morning came cold, muJJy and disigrcablc even in Louisville, I was about mov ing from the boat to find a mornings repa-t J at the table of some Hotel, when the Clerk, as if to make amends for my poor hidgrncnts the past night, politely and kindly insisted on my breakfasting on board. Thanking him fur his attentions, I the more readily consented, when Vlfiarned Dr. Scuddor and Lady would be at the table with us. Break- j fast ready, the Doctor asked a blessing in the language of Gnmonr, and we all, blest with a good appetite seemed to do ample justice to the proftitional abilities of the sable tew u.d of lhe Cutler. Bidding the Doctor and Mrs. Scudder, farewell, with feelings of affection and 6olemnity as I never expected to see them affain on earth. I seized my traveling bag and in a few moments 1 was on the wharf among carriages, Jra.ys, ooxes, uirreis, bales of hunp, men, women, boyaand dogs. Negroes-of every hue mixed up with horses and mules, giving- an idea of amalgamation and business, calculated at once, to mak,c an impression, upon the etianger that "the city of the I' alls, is a place ol vast trade and the depository of an immense capital. The river waa in fine br.ating order anj a number of steamers were buisily engaged taking in Pork, Lard, Flour Arc , bound for New Orleans. Appearances seemed to say that many thousands of dollars arc this year to be lost on the above named articles, especially. Having but litlla time to spre for obser vation in Louisville, I could not expect to see the i'ou of the city, jet a it was, I waa 'favored, as I passed along the streets, with seeing any quantity of fine, good looking goalt, with beautifully oiled beirds black, blue, red and grey; strutting along as if thpy were the only goats of a noble and mya' breed. 1 know not whether it is prejudice or ignorance in nic, yet it is true that 1 instinctively place every man at "low water mark" in intellectually who is at o much pains t'ms to disguise himself as a niar,and to appear before the puhlio in the fashion and form of the most ill ft&ored of all animals. But lest I give offence to similar characters in the latitude of the- '-Indiana American" I will drop the curtain. Good night ladies and gentlemen. Yours as ever, PELEG. Connehsville, Ia. Feby 20lh 1816. Dear Sir: A few days since our town was visited by I. I.Keely, Proff. of Human Magnetism, who lectured nd experimented on the subject for several evenings to large audiences. U iman Magnetism is a science so wonderful in it nature, and gives rise to so many remarkable phenomena, therefore, we do not think it strajige that self-inter-es, prejudice, and ignorance, should, at once, with all their powers, be arrayed against it. Rut better things, should reasonably be expected from men of Science; those whose circumstances have placed them w iihin the reach of scientific knowledge. This is not the r ase however. We not only find the illiterate, hut men of sense who boast of their high attainments in knowledge, crying "Humbug" with ail their malign powers, and long -are"-like, refuse to investigate, for fear of becoming convinced of its truth. They call for proof, and at the same time paralyze their own senses against the strongest nnd most powerful evidence. It is really amusing to see with whi't acuteness some of these philos? ophers notice every experiment, as if their Saul's salvation depended upon their discovering some deception, even where they have every reason lo Uelieve there is no "collusion." Such has been the opposition lo every new discovery, Galileo, Newton, Harvey, Bacon, and otheis, were treated as deluded enthusiasts, or visionary aspirants after fame. The grounds1 of opposition to ''Human Magnetism" are as unreasonable as the opposition itself. Some denounce the science, because it is mysterious and the cause of all the phenomena cannot be explained. Al the same time they will admit a thousand facts comes under their daily observation, which they believe, but which to them is perfectly mysterious. Therefore, if wc cannot explain the most common phenomena around us, why get up the cry of "mystery and humbug" in reference to this strange and assuming principle. All important discoveries may be employed as nn agent for evil designs, almost to the same extent, that it may be applied lo good purposes. Every useful discovery has been thus employed, and will be until the disposition of man be changed. Let these apprehenders of evil, instead of spending their time in opposing, seek a knowledge qf the facts, that they may turn them to good account. Some of the bigoted religious part of community ridicule every thing they do not understand, and attribute to the agency of the Devil what they cannot comprehend. Shame! shame! to think qt this late day, t'ere are rational beings, who, attribute the operations of Human Magnetism to Satan; but such is the fact. Our town, I am sorry to say, has its proportion of such skeptics. "Stewart," our editor, who has just returned from the State Legislature, who believes hirrjself tu

be the onlv wise man in the County, wha!ches'. ,fyu novr his worth. A nation

thinks his dictum is law and gospel, has boldly brayed "humbug." Bui he is not alone. The lung eared editor of the "Cambridge Reveille" came out in a long and labored article; exposing his ignorance in refeience lothe hjsjory of Mesmerism. To both of these learned expositors of news our citizens are universally of the opinion that they are naturally qualified members of the "Eclampsus Vitus" society, an order of which, we have in our town. Hum in Magnetism, as a remedial agent has been proved beyond a doubt. Many of our own citizens have iiaip the last week witnessed a case of this kind. A true copy of the statem nt of which I enclose in this, with the hope you will give it a place in your valuable snd widely circulated paper.

Keely'did restore Samuel Minor Jun. son of Joseph Minor Sen. to his full and distinct hearing, while under the Magnetic influence; whereas, for the peri od of four or five years, prior to this date he had been so deaf as to require quite an elevated tone of voice to be heard by him in conversation.

He takes up the various pleas which the friends of mammon make for Distil leries. We select the 7th argument, and i iserl it below, lor the reason itismoie com non in this region, as a lare portion uf our com is purcha-ed for Distilling: 7.jrjy affording a stpady market nnd a high price fur grain, Distillers enrich the agricuHuml population and wh"n farmers ore rich the community must b-: rich. Out is money the only ihrm that a nation wants? Would a nation of rich slaves be enviable? Could all the bowels of the earth afford gold enough to pay us for our laws, our fiecdom, our honest industry, our schools, colleges, and churches? The money made by immoral means is worse than counterfeit. It damns the man. and will damn the people that love it. I appeal to every honest man to say which are the best for a land, honest poor men, or rich scoundrels? Distilleries, make i;s rich? Why so would smuggling, and piracy, and free booting, in just the same way. Al first they would roll in money, and at last roll in damnation. Here is a neighborhood with a hundred farmers; they own, on an average, eighty acres apiece; they are out of debt; if they lay up no money, they lose none; all their children go to school; they are al peace wil;. each other, and happy. A Distillery is built in their midst; they grow rich and corrupt; churches are sufferc J to rot down and school houses are used to store grain in; nothing can stand before their lust of money; ihey have sacrificed the conscience in patronizing a distillery for the sake of money, and it will not be hard to sacrifice conscience in any other way lor the sake of money They are a gree dy unprincipled set of farmers scrabling to be rich. Lsl any man sav if we s'umld owe thanks to Distillers for such riches! Why, every dollar that poisons a man's honesty is a messenger from the Devil sent lo bribe him lo do wrong. There are no riches good for anything unless there is conscience, honor, industry, education and religion. It takes men to make a nation; animated money-bags can't do it. You must measure a man's heart, not his monev can afford to have poor citizens, but not corrupt ones. Riches at the very best, wiih all the guards of patriotism, aud refinement, and religion, are powerful to enervate the mind and the body. But riches which begin in inmoralily which are rolled in upon the very current ol wickedness, and are seized by men who have bartered their conscience and hoodwinked their religion for the sake of being affluent ifsnch riches are not fire and canker then God has not spoken the truth. It needs no prophet to foretell what will be the character of people made rich across their consciences, by lhe profits of Distilling. They cannot be temperance men, any more than a woolf can oe a sheep by putting on hisejvevin i w tuns they will opr"rprroTW p,p,r, i-iy. jT

Has God shut us up to the Uist'.llerv for a living by ihe exigencies of want, or has mere, sheer avarice driven us thither? With millions cS acres prodigal of corn, j with boundless praiiiea white wiih so vast an abundance if wheat that it drugs our1 ware-houses for want of ship to take it away; with plains coveted whiih sheep, and cattle on a thousand hill-?, and hogs more than in all the world beside with a hardy race of husbandmen, in whose veins runs the fire of laboiioua enterprise, with exuberant land enough for ten million more, shall this great West, f whose chief danger is o'lesitv fro n ovei nntindance too quickly gotten, lie down before Distillers for a morsel of bread, and take her riches from hinds redolent of whiskey? Before God I believe that every word that I have said of the business of distilling is true. Cut I would not slander even a distiller the greatest legal sinner that society tn'erates. They are not crnel men in their private feeling; like other men, they are generous to their friends, kind to their neighbors, and charitable to the poor. They would much prefer to distill without mischief to society if they could; nay, they would vastly prefer to make the same amount of money In other ways if it w ere possible. It is not a desire of evil, but of money, that propels them; it is not malice, but avarice. But when it comes lo the Choice, either to be poor, or to make money at the expenses of every interest of humanity, ihey shut their eye to their con science, and choose wrong-doing with money, rather than rectitude and poverty. 1 They love money, and they love integrity; but if either of them must be sacrificed, it must not be the money. They love their own interests, and they love their country; but they would sacrifice every interest of humanity rather than fee their own interests suffer. An enlightened man who knows what are the principles of religion, and can in the face of them become a distiller, would upon an adequate temptation betray his country. For he thai can sell his principles, and his religion, and humanity for money, would find it no harder to shake lin.ids tviih Arnold, and to sell his ntwe land. The farmer produers from the soil; the Distiller wastes all these products. A thousand acres of corn fed to stock, gives food to hundreds of thousands of mouths; made into whiskey, it takes away food from hundreds of thousands of mouths; and, instead nf bread, cives them a scorpion. Farmers and mechanics add to the public wealth and distillers take away from ii; the former labors for the common good, the latter against it. Whoever gels what a farmer raises, or a mechanic makes, is richer for ii; he that gels what a distiller makes is poorer for ii. Fanners make fat beasts out of corn, Distillers make beast? out of men. Mechanics build, houses, nnd villages; whiskey pulls down houses and destroys villages. A Christian loves temperance, a Distiller rr.ak es whiskey; a chtisiiati promotes religion; a distiller gives men that which keeps them from church, causes sabbaihbreking, swearing and blasphemy. A cnrisi an uses nis money lo inako man ........... up the rnppmess of men to make him i nclier. A christian prays: -ki-ej, u from

Only think what a business it must be if he date noi pray about ii. This is not a qtieinn between Mr. Comegys and me; but a question between the Distillery and the whole community. And befoieour broad vales are tainted with the stench of these Pandemoniums, before men are made to falter in their moral sense by ihe seduction of too quickly gotten money: before the church is committed, through its members, to a criminally prudential silenpe; we ought to ponder this subject, and to act as men, as patriots and as christians. And may Almighty God defend the rieht. IIE7SRY WARD BEECHER. Death cf an Aged.Clergyman. Rev.
