dii i Presidential Elector, afterwards got the nomination for Congress, aud the district being trongly Democratic, he was elected. Now his talents are moderate. His pecuniary circumstances poor, for he never had any property in the State, but his trunk, it was oas little, circumstance, which speaks volumes in regard to the character of the people, that made him a public character. Being once in a room whera drinking and gambling was going on, he was requested to join, but he politely declined; and being repeatedly solicited, he repeatedly refused; when one of the yoang men, more drunk than sober, ran to the door, bolted it, and swore that he should not go out alive, unless he diddriuk; he expatiate.) npou the ungentleraacly character of the act, stating that he was then unarmed, but if he might be permitted to withdraw, he wonld soon arm himself and be prepared to f ght. He was allowed to pass out. He want directly to his room, wrote a challenge and sent it to the offending party. This so startled thedruuken fellow, that he went aud made a handsome apology and begged Mr. Chase-'e pardon. Now that
very thing, said the gaut'eman who told me of
the circumstance, was the grand means of wis popularity and his election to Congress. A niau that will not fight, has no business to meddte with politics here. No matter what he is, or who he is, If he wilt not fight, then in their
language, "he m no man at all. A preacher here, in nine cases out of ten, has less influence than a successful, dueling "blackleg," and no
wonder, for some of them can barely read the tisw Testament. A good preacher, an educated man, is respveted by a certain class of the community, but such are to rare as to prove exceptions. Schools and education are at least a quarter of
a century behind what they are in Ohio and come parta of Indiana. I went the other day to visit one of the best Academies in the western part cf the State, a county Institution. The building was new and built in tolerable good stylebut inferior to the beautiful school house at Mt. Carmel, iu your county. It was situated ia what appeared to be' brickyard full of forest trees, for I could ciseover the ruins of an old brick-kiln, and there were any quantity of "baick bat9 lying about j the yard. As I approached the door I could hear the ham of voices. I stepped over the threshold, and sitting upon long rough benches, placed before uncouth, nnpainted poplar desks, were rows of dirty, ragged saucy looking boys; some were talking aloud, seme laughing, some play
ing, some walking about the room, visiting and
talking with their neighbors, some drinking
from gourd dipped into a bucket of water sitting in the middle of the floor, aud a few were studying aloud over their bocks. I walked up to the teacher's deck: here a vu'gar looking boy, chewing tobacco and . pitting apparently nt his master's foot, was reciting a lesson in Geography. Soon he was dismissed and other classes came up and recited in a listless manner; how well they knew their lessons I could not tell on account of the "noise and confusion" in the body of the house. I noticed, that old school books, which have been long ago discarded elsewhere, are here generally used. The teacher, who is a

bility that is tha peculiar attribute of womeu. The retirement and quietude of the family circle are what we suppose to be more agreeable to the female disposition, and where she can with more propriety dispense those blessings which Heaven seems to have made her its agent to distribute. Yet, for all that, it must be confessrd, that iu a sick chamber she is a"miuistering angel;" and that there are diseases peculiar to females, which should be treated by women and women alone. The whole branch of Obstetrics should be left entirely to female practitioners. It is repuguant to our notions of propriety, that any other than female doctors should be engaged in that branch. There are other cases, too, which female delicacy painfully shrinks from in consul-
tine a male doctor about. A female doctor

Gen. Stapp, Geo. Holland, Isaac Navlor,
Hugh O'Neal and Jonathan S. Harvey were designaled as said commiltee.who, after a short re- j lirement, made the following report, which was adopted unanimously. 1st. Each Senatorial district here represented, be entitled to one vote, and the Counties here represented be entitled to the number of votes, equal to the number of Representatives they are respectively entitled to in the House of Representatives at its next session, provided that each
county here represented shall be entitled to one
low sectarian purpose, stimulated, also, no
doubt, by the hope of making a few dimes. While traveling the Connersville circuit iu 1847, 1 was challenged to a public discussion of the points of difference between Methodists aud Campbellite reformers, by elder R. II. Pritchard, of Fairview, Ia.; and after a somewhat protracted correspoudeuce, propositions were agreed upon, and the discussion took place according
ly. Nothing was said, during the whole of the correspondence, (which they have taken the precaution not to publish,) or in the arrangement of preliminaries, by either party, about the publication of the debate; and certainly, upon my part, nothing of the kind was anticipated. Had it been intimated, at the proper time, by either Mr. Pritchard or his friends, so that a competent reporter could have been procured, I should not have objected; but this would have been houest, and fair, sad gentlemanly, aud Christian-like, and, of course, would not have suited the purposes of Messrs. Pritchard and Franklin: one would have but little hope of victory, and the other of pecuniary
gain; so they chose to KEiroAKK uulil the close
of the third day's discussiou, wheu Mr. Frank
tin, who had been taking notes, as I supposed,
to furnish the paper, of which he is editor, wilhan abstract of the discussion, arose, and
proposed to the disputants, that, if they would
write out their speeches, he would publish
them; cincrocslt ofTeriug to give each party
onehuudred copies for hit trouble! The ab
surdity of the proposition must be apparent to
every one. There were eighteen speeches de'
livered by each disputant during the discussiou:
mine were almost entirely extemporaneous; and to have wrilleu them out would have compelled me, notouly to have recollected my own, but.
also, those of my opponent, t which many of
mine were in reply. None of my friends had taken notes of the discussion, and all that I had

On the same night, another man mined James McCabe, who had been previously worsted in a fracus with John Harris, went off, and procuring a shoe-knife, sought his antagonist. and stabbed him in the bowels, causing his death. The perpetrator of the deed will be examined before the Mayor on Wednesday. A black fiend, named Grisson, was arraigned before the Mayor yesterday, for strangling his child (which was said to have been attacked with cholera, the mother having previously died of that disease,) the same night. On last night, a man named Joseph Williams, an engineer on the steamboat Planter, was arrested for shooting Thos. O'Brian, an inoffens-. ive Irish laborer, on the corner of Third and Sycamore, in front of the Commercial office. It appears that Williams, who was intoxicated, had been in the press room of the Commercial, flourishing and vaporing about with his pistol,

With doting glance of warm delight; In after years I know not how Thy plaintive notes may dim my sight.
