n it t . k vii r sj ivill IV FRIDAY. JAM. 5. IS49, liTJ;leMt of I'lunrr. It will be hv the Telegraphic despatches which we publish to-day, and for whirh we ae indebted to the Cincinnati Globe, ihit Louis Napoleon h:-.s been elected President of tile French Republic.-'' The ret nrn had not nil been receivm, nut tnonjn was Known to insure nis eieo . j tion. So f ir as heard he had beaten r,!l others, iu cv-jry department heurd from. Warden f the State I'rhon. The Lv'slature has elected a gentleman by tiis name of Ford, of Clark county, Warden of the Indiana Peiiit. utiary. Tn. writer of thin article, about the last of September or first of October, 1840, happened to meet with agmitleman of that name and ilk, upou the steam boat Snsqaehanaa, lying at the Louisville wharf, and about to start for t inciunuti. When we entered the boat, he was cuttiug all manner of ante-election extraordinaries, which come under the head of vaporing and rovorting offering to bet with everyone thit Van Euren would be elected President, backing every body out and every body backing Jim out; when in the mid.-tof the melee, the Hon. W. J. Graves came aboard, when our hero at once exclaimed, "here is a member of Congress, I'll bet with him and nobody eke." Mr. Graves being full of Old Kentnck, of coarse the idm of Lting backed ont never entered his head and he at once asked Ford how much he wonld bet, and being answered $400, they went ashore to deposit the money. This bet Mr. Graves of course won, as Gen. Harrison was triumphantly cted. But we are informed by the Louisville Journal, that this Ford, (whom Mr. Graves told us was a very re- ; spectntjle citizen of Indiana) after the money had been given np, sued Mr. Craves for tb,e amount, and recovered it. We can scarcely believe that Ih is is the gentleman elected Warden of the State Prison. Will some one inform us? The Cholera. This modern plague is ag-in in the United States, and is swiftly approaching this section of ' the country. Its ravages in N. Orleans are already alarming, the mortality having reached One hqndred a day. We hear of it upon many of the boats ascending the Mississippi, and several towns along the river. A few cases, we believe, have occurred at Cincinnati, though many of the citizens of that place stoutly deny it; experience would seem to teach, however, that whenever a dispute arises as to the identitv of this disease, we may take it for granted that the truth will befonnd npon the r.lTirmative side. We publish in the American to-day a verv sensibly written article npon this Fnbject, which we request every one to read and remember, for the citizens of Brookville and vicinity, cannot rationally expect to escape the Chnb-ra, and should be prepared to receive it. We would further advise as many of i.nr friends as can possibly do sc-.to pay all their debts and be prepared for the worst. The Pnblie I. nod.

The bill, as it now .stands, provides for at least three months free school in each , district, the funds to pay for which is to be derived as follows: ten cents on fach $100 valuation, 25 cents poll tax, and 43 on every i'30 collected by insurance companies on premiums. It makes each county Inriepen- j dent of the others, so that each caunty supports j its own school. Of this the poor cotmtws com- ! plain. Thy say that they have as much right to compel the rich counties to assist in eduoa ting the children of the poor counties, as the ;oor in each county have to ask the rich to assist in educating children, when Providence in his wisdom has withheld children from them. e acknowledge the force of the comparison. !

strong reason besides selfishness which induces I ns to favor it. There is already an almost insufferable imposition practised upon the rich counties, in the valuation of lands and property. In some counties it is valued at but little above Congress price, whilst ours in the White Water Valley is valued at very near half its value There isnolh,rg, however, can remedy this evil but a board of equalization. And the count;- i that now ask us to assist them in educating th.ir children, resist aboard of equalization, and i laugh at the shameful f,ct that they can obtain men n their cnnnlirMB f Q i i oath, and value land at one-fourth of its value. Upon this suVjrct there is much that can and onyht to be said. In the Senate to-day, there was a warm and animated debate sprung up on the bill to com- 1 pel the White Water Valley Canal Companv to , repair tha Lawrenceburgh branch. Mes. Mil- ! likiu, McCarty. Jkc. favored, and Mess. Hub-; bard and Holloway opposed. It be in-r.however. a local matter, m which the tetate generally did not appear interested, the Senate was thinly attended. Mr. Read of Clark has been elected Speaker of the Senate in the place of P. C. Dunninr, who has succeeded to the office of Governor of Indiana.

These poor Christians are much tyranized .. v.. . L. .. ' r i ... I ' M0. m Tbr only j p'ace of retreat, wt-en threatened w ith violence. is their little cell of a church, which can scarcely hold twenty families. Their account, which in its narration bore the impress of truth, seems confirmed by the circumstance, that in the centre of their little church there is a well, which supplies them with water until their provisions are exhausted; or the restless nature of their per secutors takes them elsewhere. The object of all their hopes is to build a chnrch sufficiently large to hold all their wivea and children; for with all their intolerance, the Moslems respect ine nouse or Him whom they call Isa, the Prophet of the Christians." The foundation and part of the walls of a church have been built, but the work is discontinued for want of means the sirocco and the locust having swept their harvests for seysral years. They gave me an appeal to their Christian brethren in America, which I promised to deliver. With many apologies for its phraseology, they begged me to write it out more fullr for them; but I prefer sending it forth in its own simple and touching brevity. I will only add, that little should be given, and that discreetly, at uitterent times, so ns not to excite the cupidl ty ot the Moslems.
