BiJOOK.riLL.tt, INDIANA. FRIDAY, SEPT. 3, 1341 FOR PBKSIDENT I 183, C5cn.ZACH.lUV TAYLOIt. In na c can t pee-nit mTlf to b? the am HdUte ofanv parte, or tM J rayaeir to party schemes."

Will the Cincinnati Gaae tte stir Item up a'ittla Tna FitsKUii Circcit adjourned on Monday last, after holding the loosest Session ever held in tbe County, it hav. ing been 19 days. Health. Our towi still continues healthy, not having but one or two cases f fever, and fever and ague- We understand also the same can be said of Laurel We hear from the interior of our Slate considerable complaints, but nothing like the pt year. Oea Tows. Wa exprct the boats will begin to move in a few days, when business will again revive. We wish all the world to know that our millers and merchants are greedy for wheat, and will always give the highest price. Out merchants (and especially those whose rimes you see in the American) have a j;nod assortment of cheap goods, and are so anxious to sell for cash that they are not particular about the price. , Wheat is as good as the cash, and a little better. And if ynu always want to know the price of wheat, to live prosperous and ror.t-jnted and die happy , take the American. Bui it is seldom the 6bscribcra to the American ver die; and those that' l it can be attributed to some fault of tbeir own, such as net paying it, &c. If we were rich, or if it did not cost so much, we would furnish our paper to every family in the country, just to see what a general prosperous, happy enlightened and mcral community it would be. We can discover the difference in the intelligence and morals of the section in this county where it is taken and where it is not. Another Kegimcnt. It is stated that Col. J. H. Lane, of Lawrencehurgh, has received orders from the war Department to raise another Regiment of Volunteers in Indiana for Mexico. They will of course be raised immediately. Indiana will ever, we believe and hrpe, respond promptly to the calls of our country. Pevth of thk Hos. Silas Wright. It is with much sorrow we learn that the Hon. Silas Wright. Governor of New York, and a man of talen's, and standing high in the estimation of his countrymen. died on the 27th of August of the Apoplexy. Although he differed with us in pelitics. yet his talent and private character ever commanded our highest admir ation. From Gts. Scott. It now having keen rendered certain t"at Gen. Scott ad-1 vanced on the city of Mexico on the 5th day of Aug. we are now looking with the most intense intcrost.fbr the result of the eonflict. We think the news will be received before many days. It is useless to speculate about the result. Scott von. 0,'iers or dies. Defeat, no matter how gxid the reason, would, at this time prove most disastrous to his reputation There has been considerable eomplaint about his not advancing before the Mex. Scans had time to recover from their last defeat, and a defeat now at this city wcu'd turn a heavy tide against him Rut we fear no such result. Nearly all nor regular army is with Soott, and lie a with him some of the best troops in the world who could easily whip an equal number, on equal ground, of any country. He has also a very Jarge imonnt of the test cannon, of which Gen Taylor has heretofore been deficient. Sot.. Meredith of Wayne County is spoken of in the Centreville and Cambridge papers as a candidate for Speaker of the house of Representatives of the Indiana Legislature. Think of it members elect. Who is Senator! By a letter from Dr. Gao. Berry, to a friend in this place, we learn that the Doctor intends rcturnirg home in November, and will c'aim his seat in the Senate of Indiana, lie contends that he is entitled M it. At It.

Ky. Standard, which has the name of Wm. O. Butler of Ky. at its head, as a candidate for President. Butler is a good and gallant fellow, and were the question narrowed down between him and a northern fanatic, who had but one idea, and tbat one had made him crazy, we should go for Butler. He has done other service for his country than office seeking and office holding. Some of our office seekers think no man St for President unless be has spent several ysara in the corrupt atmosphere of Washington city, and is a pliant tool tor the managers of the bear-garden.

Reality . Romance. In this papsr

will he form J an interestinj romance We saj that it is interesting because it carries with it a pood lesson wl.ich can be mads profitable in life. We know some of o:ir dear young friends, to whom e with wo cou'J have the oDport unity of reading this article. In tie selection of miecellanois articles nf this kind, we are always careful that it contains and inculcates good m rala And it is sometimes amusing to see with what religious teal and Loir ind'trnation, some of our ministers denounce the mveU and romances published in tie newspapers of the day, because it is fictitious rrash; and alleging that there is enough real and interesting history, without spending our time, and addling our brains over lovesick stories and tales. And then be fore they are through the sermon they tell some interesting story (fictitious of cour ee to illustrate their sub ject. In the eaire way we endeavor to impress upon our readers moral precepts, by exbibitirg in some interesting story the reward of the faithful and virtuous and the awful fate of the vicious and unprincipled. Our ministers, too. who hate the fictitious, had better look inti the Sunday School libraries, and see if one hal! of the books there are not ol the same fictitious trash. We acknowledge there is filth and Immoral pollution spread ovc our land by the French Press, and republished in this country, but the Press of this State has nothing to do with it. Vet we are denounced as poisoning the minds of the ri sing generation. We deny it. The tales published in the Presses of Indiana generally carry throughout a decidedly moral religious, and temperance spirit, inculcating tLe purest lessons in morals, religion." and philanthropy. We wish ministers would be more special in their sweeping charges. If we publish anything of an immoral tendency, calculated to vitiate the mind, the taste, or the appetite we should lika to have it pointed out. We feel as conscientious upon this subject as any of them, and have as much at stake. . We hope then our friends will spend an agreeable hour in reading the tale, head ed Rkamtt ft. Romance. Magnetic Stei:d. We stated in our last that the sur.-beam could not compete in speed, with electricity. This statement has been doubted by some of our friends. From the books, and from that source we obtain much information, we learn that light travels at the rate of 12, 000,000 miles per minute, and electricity at the rate of 24, 000,000 of miles per minute. which is the same as 960 times around the earth. At this rate news could be conveyed entirely around the earth in a sixteenth part of a second by magnetic telegraph. Some havo contended that it was instantaneous that it occupied no time in traveling an unlimited distance- But better philosophers have not only limited its goings, b-.tt have measured its pace. There is one curious fact, in connection with the transmission of nets by the telegraph. There ia about one hours difference between Bos'on and Cincinnati time. 1 he consequence is, news despatched from Boston at 2 o'clock, is received at Cincinnati at 1 o'clock, thereby arriving at Cincinnati one hour before it started. The telegraph therefore not only overcomes time and space, but cheats old time out of an hour occasionally. Tins ran be easily understoJ by a little reflection. Soft! We are happy to learn that the editor of the Xnia Torch Light has been safelv secured. He is laboring under the dire effects of political insanity, eni in j some of the hallucinations of his brain,! supposed lhat the Mexican Army was af-j ter him. This occured during the tern- j porary absence of hie idol Tom. Corwin, at Chicago. Ha imagircd lhat Bo one hut the object of his adoration could save him from the Mexican lances. He therefore started west, it ia supposed, en tfithabille, dishevelled hair, and with w ild and frantic eyes, across woods, swamps, and prairies, frightening the niiitft and the gtete in hi unearthly "creams, of "Save me Tom!" "Save me Tom.' He was shortly after found in the Territory of Minesota. safely secured, and we believe has arrived at home to the joy of his afflicted friends. They feel entire confidence that by kind treatment, appreaching cool weather, and strict diet. i'r2 he will yet be restored to his reason. It is a eatl spcciacie lo ioor upon, a man of s'ich talent, gentus. and of promtse to Ins country, thus in ruins his mind the wreck of what t once was.

Tbe Circuit Court, on Saturday last, appointed Reuben Cooly. Count Commissioner, in tha place of Amos Martin, resigned. We regret that Mr. Martin has retired from the Board. He was one or the best we ever had a man of intelligence, and eramped by no narrow party views.

HENRY W. BEKCIIER. This eloquent divice, and pastor of tbe 2d Presbyterian Church at Indanapolis, has resigned his charge of Said church, and intends removing east. We presume be goes to Brooklyn, where be has a call backed by a salary of $2,500 or $3,000 per year. It takes a great deal of piety to c tntinue in the charge of a church at 600 6r ECO per year, when he has so much louder calls. Ard where is the impropriety in it! If he can as well snd efficiently serve his master in the place where the salary is large, it is his du ty fo accept, as he will thereby have the greater abundance to expend in chrieti an charities. Pious and Godly men are not to be corrupted by large salari e e, if they have tbe right object in view in accepting, and then live temperately, and use industry, giving tbe surplus of the Income to objects of charity and the spread of the gospel. But let Bro. Beecher go where he will, we pray that h is divine Master may always, keep him h limbic, without any "thorn in tbe flesh." Mr. Gurley of the other Presbyterian church at Indianapolis has a loud call east. It seems th3 east will have to be supplied by the west with able and eloquent divines. Dr. Dnrbin is a western man. Besides several others we could name. " The poor Knnb$." Mr. Riley Woodworth has presented us with some Oat Stalks, which grew on some of tbe knobs east of Brookville on his place. The oats were seven feet, three inches and a half high. He has also shown us some Timothy grass six feet and one inch high. If it be said that tall straw be of little account, we should think such grass would ' raise the tallett kind of horses. And if any one can beat it, there would be no harm in telling it. It was long since acknowledged that Mr. Good wi n could beat in raising corn on the knobs, but here is a specimen of tatl thingt to compete with. i Ca'attrophe. During the late sens-1 ion of our Circuit Court, thete were three respectable citizens of this county converted into Lawyers. The following gentlemen were licensed to practice law, to wit: Danl. D. JoneR, Mr. Trussler, and if. D. Johnson, One has education, one industry, and one experience. Let us now watch them for ten years, and see w hich will win. They will all doubtless locate here or in different psrts of the west, and engage in getting themselves a name, fame, and fortune. May they all all be poured upon thrm in abundance. Peace Party. The Misbawaka, Ind. Bee hashoisted the Oopicin Flag. It is s neutral paper, and published by a man who has strange notions of things and from our knowledge of his conduct In other matters is as Hart lett as there is any use oi'being in this world. Not for Taylor.--We are informed by the Siate Sentinel that the Greens burgh Repository is not for Taylor. We should have known this before. T aylor men have noble souls able to appreciate noble and patriotic services. They too

feci they live in a land of freedom, with the privilege of thinking for themselves, without being considered recreants, turn, coats or disorganize, because tbey will not fall down and worship King Caucus. A Taylor man is "free indeed." JinoE Johs Test. We had the pleas ure on yesterday morning of meeting our venerable and esteemed friend John Test, of Mobile, Alabama, but formerly of Ibis State. There are many dear associ ations clustering around the memory of this citizen. He served in var ious offices in the early history of the State, and so conducted himself that the breath of elan ! der never dared to utters word against his public honor or private character. He is now rather poor health, and on a viit to his friends in this Slste. He will find many warm hands and hearts during his sojourn with us. May he have many evidences that the people are not ungrateful for his former labors and exertions for the prosperity of this State. Such tes timonies are more grateful to the heart, now in his retirement, than all tbe honors or profits of office. Jrnos Charles H. Test has addresed a ci rcular to tbe citizens of the Wayne Congressional District, informing them that he is defeated. It is probablo they arc astonished at tbe announcement. Rut this circular does not evince tbat talent and preperation, which the Judge's character and reputation as a writer and as a politician, demands. He ccriaifly prepared it in haste, and without that i con6jeralion hich all public documents require. In this day of political slavery the Judge has a ban upon hi a which nothcan remove, except a change of latitude or longitude. But he his a better heart and head than many men in this State who are namoerod as idols. We know if we lived in tbat District, and even hin ted a word in bis favor aa a man or a pol itician, cur political head would not stay on our shoulders twenty-four hours. We do oppose some of his principles, yet we are disposed to think him honest as well as otirse Ives. But this hateful party ran cor and proscription is intolerable. It i tnonter of toffc frightftol mien, To be hated, need but to be een." The Judge is in a hopeless minority in that District, and is doing injustice to himself and his family, to spend his time and money to serve bts party in such Canvases. Et-acTion.

ARRIVAL OF THE GUADALQUIVER. Ten Day Later from - Eurvpt Further Decline in Breadttvfft Continued Pressure of the Money Market. New Turk, Aug 30th, 1. A. M. The steamer Gnadalquiver has arrived from Liverpool, bringing dates to the 14ih inst inclusive. The receipts of Flour and Grain from foreign ports were large , which in connection with the continued favored prospect of the growing crops caused a further depression in prices.

The pressure of the money market, was also unfavorably affecting the markets. Westerrn Canal Flour ranged from 25 to 27s; Sour do, 21a22s Richmond and Alexandra sweet, 24 to 25 Gd; Philadelphia and Baltimore, 24a Gd to 25 Wheal was participating in the depreciated val ue of flour and prices fallen three pence per 70 pounds. India Corn was two shillings per quarter lower. The cotton market was firm. The sales of the week embraced two thousand bales at an average of 7la7d per lb. There have been heavy failures in London which tended lodr press business. Consols were selling at87a8?i. Bank stock 103 to 197. Some uneasiness was felt from the failure of houses In Coventry. The liabilities of Sheppard & Co., Kin?, Melville & Co., are over half a million dollars. There was a decided improvement in foreign Exchsnges owing principally lo the state of the Bank of England. A further decline in Flour was looked for and it was the opinion of some that prices would go down to 22 shillings. The royal Mail Steamer Britannia at Liverpool on the 13th. LATER FROM MEXICO. Arrival of the Steamer Galceslon Inter esting Particulort. Pittsbuequ, Aug, 23, 9 A. M. By the arrival of the Galeeslon we have Tampico dates to the 14th, and Brasos to the 15th instant. The correspondent of the New Orleans Picayune gives the particulars of the attack on the wagon train, a brief account of which we received from Richmond yesterday. The Guerrillas came down in strong force upon the front, center & rear of the line.but were repulsed and forced through the pass by our men. Two officers and eight men on the American side were seve rely wounded in the engagement eight of whom have since died! The officers of the train think they will he able to force their way through to the main army, but that will have lo be done by hard fighting. It was reported that the Mexicans had destroyed psrt of the National Bridee and were fortifying the pass with a full detirnunation t make r decisive and obstinate stand at that point. The Guerrillas were under the impres sion that thelrain had with them about one million dollars in specie. In battle fought by Captain Ruffs company of rifles, at San Juan de los El an os, 43 Mexicans were killed and 50 wounded. Major Gaines says that Santa Anna has 15,000 disciplined and well drilled troops under his command! General Pearce's men, through jaded and travel-worn, made a soldier-like appearance on their entrance into Puebla on the morning of the 6th. There are a hundred conflicting rumors aslo the strength, movements, condition, &c, of the Mexican Army. Valencia, it is staled, will attack onr Army in front with 12 000 men, while Alvarez, with 5.000 men, makes demonstrations in the rear. Another report states lhat Santa Anna has disarmed 3 000 Mexican Guards whom he discovered plotting against himself and the troops under his rommai.d, and that all was confusion at the capital. The troops at Tampico were nightly ex pecting an attack from tbe Guerrillas. THE POTATO ROT. The Columbus Statesman of Aug. 28lh, aa vs : We regret to perceive so general a com. plaint of the potato rot in Ohio. From the distant parts of ihe stale to the centre do we hear of this disease. Some fields are entirely lost. The canton Repository of 26 ih Aug. says: The potato ro t is more general this sea son in this section of Ohto, than it has ev er been before. The accounts as to the ptevalence of thij scouige at the north and east continue to multiply. The Bangor, (Maine) Whig, of Saturday, says: "The high hopes entertained in this vicin ity of a large crop of potatoes, have.wiihin a few days, been entirely blasted, as respects this vicinity. The potatoe fields appear blackened and drooping, as though struck with a heavy frott. People are engaged in digging the potatoes as fas t as possible, and placing them where they ill dry. The crop in this vicinity is a failure. The N. York Globe, of Thurrday, says It is estimated by the Jamaica papers that his disease has'sgain made ita appear ance in that vicinity. Several fields, it is stated, have been examined, and found to be considerably injured. Potatoes dug and left in baskets, were found in a few davstobe about one-third rotten. The potato rot, the Greenporl Watchman on derstands, has made its appearance in nth er parts of the Island. We rather suspect however, that the rot is very confined in its operations." The Augusta (Maine) Banner, says; We regret to state that this disease lus made its apperrance. We have seen sev eral fields in this neighborhood which we doubt not will be found lo be the potato lot. Most fields, however appear lo escape the plauge." Ohio. Thst venersble Brotherthe Rev James B. Finley, D. O. W. P , of Franklin Co, one of the oldest ministers in the Slate, and for more than thirty years an advocate of total abstinence, after speaking specially of the Sons of Temperance un der his care, says: "Peace and prosperi ty attend our labors in the interesting field and we are blessed of God. I endeavor to show my brethren thst we sre God' laborers, to lessen the evil aod 'promote ihe good. Although my body sinks un der the weight of near fourscore years I feI as young aa ever, and like fightiug on for the honor of our beloved Order" Soisrs ihtOltlo Oran.
