BllOOIvVILLE, INDIANA. FRIDAY, MAY 4, 1849, - - ..... it Ihr Auditor. t. The death of Mr. Carmichael creates a vacancy in the office of Auditor of this county. There is no provision for supplying his place until the June Boar.l cf County Commissioners. A. R.

S,.J . 1- L , t ties unUl the Aogost i lection, when another will be elected by the people. It is probably the best office in the con at v, and consequently some competition may be "expected. Already Already have we heard several named in connection with the office, such as Mr. Robinson, A. Robert M'Cleery, Chas. C. Riley, James Wallace, A.c. Jtc. Ja Pulml Unalnl. It seema the lungs of our locofoco friends must soon fail, and the fountain of their tears become exhausted, in lamentations over their defeat, and their consequent ejection from the offices and emoluments of Government. It would be a great convenience, if some ingenious yankee would invent some kind of a croaking machine, to stand at the corners of streets to bewail, day and night, over the slain of the lo cofoco party. It would be an easy matter, be- ' J ........ . f w , cause the machine would need neither sense nor ' reason to imitate to life those who are performing these doleful lamentations at this ti.-a. Neither is there neeJ for harmony or music in the sound produced. Whether it resembled ia cadence the creaking of an nn greased wagon, or the more lively music of the horse fiddle, it - , I woold not surpass the groaning of the Union. ! and all its minor echoes. Where are our ire- '. nlasM? Where are the patent inventors and perpetual motion makers of Brookri'le? ""lie riaceaac t-nzrlle. We opened this- old and familiar sheet the present week,aud read the editorials withaston ishment. After reading a few columns, we concluded our old friend Cai dinglou had been making some copious selection, from the Beauties ff Literature, and had forgotten to give the usual credit. Not that we had ever seen the editorials before, bat they were so much superior in the chastenrss of language and beauty of style to our usual country village newspapers, that we concluded at once they were stolen. We took onr pen, and were about to ask Cad, from what spring he had drank of late, or what had purified the atmosphere he breathed, that the editorials now flowed from his pen so smoothly and beautifully, when our eye met the following words at the top of the editorial column: ' Exclusively under the control of the Rev. Geo. B. Jocelyn." When we saw the name of that beloved brother, all was explained, lie will give a moral dignity to that paper, which will be the means of much good. Imjlne, my dear George, how much good it would do us to grasp your kind acd honest hand, and he thankful. Among the local occurrences of the week' there are none that have been more deeply felt, than the departure from our social circle, of two interesting and accomplished ladies--: wo who have been ornaments to our community and life to our society. They were born, and have been raised in our village, and have been educated in onr schools they have sported on our alcoved hills, and thrir voices have echoed along our valleys they have enta ined themselves by their domestic and social virtues around many warm hearts. These lies must be sundered, aed the sports, the holy associations and the cherished scenes must be abandoned. One goes to Ohio, to cheer, to sustain, and comfort the faithful missionary of the rross. The other goes to Connersville to enjoy and render more enduring the wealth, honor, and fame, which the talen!s and address of her companion are opening before him. Our social circle is to enjoy no more their cheering smiles and lively conversation, except on short and transitory visits, which will gradually become less frequent, as dealh and time destroy the ties that now bind them here. But they go leaning upon kind arms, and cheered by the loving smiles of worthy companions. Heaven grant that no clouds may ever obscure the bright prospects and visions of the present. This world, however, is full of troubles and trials, which neither the beautiful, the rich, or honorable, can escape, requiring the aid of Him who never forsakes, ta eastain iu all life's conflicts. May they with humble and abiding faith always look to Him for help, strength and wisdom, to enable them to discharge the duties of their new relation. It is no ordinary compliment to our female society, that gentlemen of so much intelligence, taste and judgment, should come from afar to select companions who are to be light of their lives and the comfort of iheir days. We honor their judgment. We have long known that our village could not be excelled Tor good wives, and those who are anxious to be equally as good. But we are reluctant to let it be generally kpow, fearing others may be Uken from our "angel band," and borne In triumph to adorn other hearths and homes. alrmad Divialaw SV. af T.

From our California Boys. ----- St Joseph, Missouri, April 16, 1849.

FRIEND CLARKSON:—The Brookville California Company are thus far on their way en route for California, the land of untold wealth, and I believe are still "en masse" confident of success in the arduous and perilous enterprise in which they have enlisted. We were unavoidably detained in Cincinnati for five days, at the expiration of which time we with glad hearts embarked upon the Steam Boat Melodeon, which swiftly carried us away from the Queen City of the West. Many of the passengers, like ourselves, were seriously afflicted with the 'Gold Fever'—a disease which I fear has become contagious—and its ravages have already been felt thro'out the wide world. It is a dreadful malady, and is looked upon by many as fatal. We were accompanied by a fine Brass Band, who played most beautifully at every port at which we landed, and roused up the natives with their sweet and thrilling music. We, after an exceedingly pleasant trip of four days, landed at St. Louis—a city noted for its Commercial advantages. The lower part of the city was built by the French, consequently the streets are exceedingly narrow, and thro' these it is almost impossible to pass any where near the River or Steam Boat Landing. Drays without number—horses, mules, men—white and black—Indians hurrying to and fro—all is bustle and confusion. But the part called the American portion—the streets are wider—pavement good—buildings large and splendid. There are many muainess [sic]men in St. Louis—men of capital and enterprise; and the city is rapidly improving, and bids fair to be in a few years one of the finest cities in the American Union. We remained here four days, procured our provisions and other necessary equipments— sent a committee of four up to Keokuck [sic], Iowa, to purchase cattle, and the remainder of the company started for St. Joseph, having on board a large number of Californians. Upon the second night after we left St. Louis, when all were enjoying the sweets of slumber, our boat ran against a snag, and so seriously injured it, as to impede our progress for the remainder of our journey. We passed several villages pleasantly situated on the river banks, the principal of which were Boonville, Jefferson city, the capital of the state, Lexington, Weston, Kansas, &c. April 4th, we reached this place, and found the town crowded with emigrants. St. Joseph was laid out only five years ago, and now has over two thousand inhabitants—is rapidly improving—has a fine new Court House, several churches, and many good buildings. It is now the fourth town in the state of Missouri, and will ere long be second to none save St Louis. On the fist day after our arrival we had the pleasure of seeing Col. Doniphan, who is a large portly looking man, has not the proud, haughty mien of many men who have been so fortunate as to acquire military reputation. He is generally beloved by the people of this state—all admire him for his military attainments and heroic deeds in the Mexican War. He was to have addressed the Sons of Temperance of this place; but when the appointed evening came Col. Doniphan was not in attendance, having been unexpectedly called home. Mr. Lancaster, a celebrated Minister of this state filled the Col's place, and I have no doubt but we were better entertained, and listened to a much better speech than Col. Doniphan would have made.— It was the most able and eloquent Temperance speech to which I have ever listened. Captain Owen has not yet arrived. We are looking for him daily, as he was to have been here one week ago. There are now about twenty-five hundred rendezvoused at this place, and daily arrivals of many more. It seems from all appearances that there will be from 10 to 20,000 that will cross the plains the coming summer. Many men are taking their families, and I should suppose that one fifth of all emigrants here intend to settle in the golden land. I prophesy that California will be a State in less than three years, and will be settled ten times as fast as any of the American states have been. The committee that went to Keokuck arrived here yesterday, having been 18 days since they left St. Louis. They purchased our oxen at $45.00 per yoke. They relate many amusing anecdotes of their eventful excursion across the country—how they had to live upon Missouri biscuits, (corn bread,) how they slept—they had to swim with their cattle fourteen times in one day. Dr. Henry Berry arrived on Saturday last —Rodman and Kenneday have not yet arrived. As to our operations for the coming month, all is in a "glorious state of uncertainty." We talk some of going to Ft. Kearny, one hundred miles up the river—and also of going immediate- ly to Couucil Grove. But our sojourn incivilization for the present is for a short period of time, for in two, three or four weeks we will leave this beautiful and prosperous country— and then "We will have a home Upon the banks of some meandering stream Whose ripple, like the murmur of a dream. Shall be our music." Since emigrants began lo rendezvous here, everything in this place or any where along the river has raised fifty per cent. And some I fear will not be able to obtain necessary equipments. An aged man destined for California died here on Saturday last. Three of his sons are now in the land of "Ophir." He was from St. Louis, and died happy, and as his SUN went down, he saw another arise to direct him to the bliss- ful regions of immortality beyond the grave. All the members of the Brookville Cal. Co. are in good health and fine spirits, and anxious to be on their winding way. Please write occasionally during the summer to San Francisco, and send the American to said place. We will reach the Sacramento about the first of September—probably not till November. I shall write you again in a few days. Yours, &c., JOHN T. McCARTY. ----- ('atmaiiaaal Prrparattaa.
