For the American. Ernnsville nnd Vicinity Gibson Co. Court House and Churches. Dear Clarkson: I have had several opportunities of forming an idea of the general character of this part of the "pocket." I wrote last fall of its being too level for beauty. I find on acquaintance it is too level for utility. A very large part of Vanderburgh county is covered with ponds and swamps which will remain useless until drained, which will not be done this century. Nor is the general character of the Mil of the first quality. The growth is mostly scrub oak, and black hickory. Even the river banks, (there are no "bottoms" as yon White Water men call the low lands near the rivers) are not always an exception. In many places the oak flats extend to the brink of the river. There is however iome good land on the river, but it is often overflowed, and was this summer in June, so as to render replanting necessary. I am inclined to thiak that the general health of this part of the State is better than is usually represented. It has vastly Improved within a

the White Water were to step over en masse and see this house they would soon order their commissioners to pnt up buildings in which others could be accommodated besides judges and jurymen, lawyers and clients. I was sorry to see in the midst of such domestic splendor, and public magnificences, a shameful neglect of the place of public worship. The Tresbyterian church is small, and perhaps neat enough inside. The Methodist church presents a dilapidated exterior that contrast painfully
with the general neatness of the town a cupola almost ruined for want of paint steps that look dangerous, gates half hung and nearly broken to pieces, do not speak well of the love that the members and friends of the church have for their place of worship. What its interior is, I am not able to say, but I should judge It to be uninviting. Yet these churches are visited by the inhabitants of these neat residences that
charm the strangrr. They may have sufficient
reason for neglecting the house of God. at least
what satisfies themselves; but the world can but believe that they love that religion most which costs them least, and that they are quite willing
ta lose the individual in the society. This is a
dangerous mistake, whether in morals or poli
tics; and is likely to produce more mischief than any other one thing. It is this that ena
bles the moral man to feci so complaicent under
the operations of iniquitous laws, while he
never makes an effort to correct them. He for
gets that he is the law maker, as much as any
one in the land, and that he is responsible fer
every wrong he does not try to remove. It is this concealing the individual in the mass that
enables pious men to feel comfortable in a meet
ing house of a character wholly unlike their
private residences, and to feel perfectly easy
when any of the demands upon their purse, not
included in the law, are unsatisfied. He ex
claims with perfect horror,"what a pity. Well the people won't do their duty." But the in
dividual must be unmasked, and must feel his
responsibility to feel right. G Evansville, Ind., July 25th, 1S49.

A Prayer by Kosanth.
The following prayer offered by Kossuth, was
offered by liim, kneeling amid the multitude, at the grave of the Magyar heroes who fell in the battle of Rapoylna, and was originally published in the "Opposition," a journal of Pesth. We give it as translated for the Tribune: "Almighty Lord! God of the warriors of Arpad! Look down from thy starry throne upon thy imploring servant, from whose lips the prayer of millions ascend to thy Heaven, praising the unsearchable power of thine Omnipo
tence. O God, over me shines thy sun, and be
neath me reposes the relics of my fallen heroic
brethren; above my head the sky is blue, and
nder my feet the earth is dyed red with the
holy blood of the children of our ancestors.
Let the animating beams of thy sun fall here
that flowers may spring up from the blood, so
that these hulls of departed beings may not
moulder unadorned. God of our fathers, and
God of the nations! hear and bless the voice of
our warriors and with the arm and the soul of
brave nations thunder to break the iron hand of
tyranny as it forges its chains. As a free man
I kneel on these fresh graves by the remains of
my brothers. By such a sacrifice as theirs Thy
Earth would be consecrated were it all stained
with sin. O God! on this holy soil, above these
graves, no race of slaves can live. U rather
Father of our fathers! mighty over myriads!
Almighty God of the Heaven, the Earth, and the Sens! From fhRA hnne. snrintr. a trlnrv irhnRA
radiance is on the brow of my people. Hallow their dust with Thy grace, that the ashes of my
fallen heroic brethren may rest in peace ! Leave us not.Great God of battles! In the holy name of the nations, praised be thy Omnipotence.
Amen."
Shadowy and swift the black storm-drift Doth trample the atmosphere! But swifter than all, with a darker pall Of terror around my path, I have arisen from my lampless prison Slave of the high God's wrath ! A deep voice went from the firmament, And it pierced the caves of earth Therefore I came, on my wings of flame,
From the dark place of my birth! And it said: "Go from the south to the north, Over yon wandering ball Sin is the king of the doomed thing, And the sin-beguiled must fall!"
Forth from the gate of the Uncreate,
From the portals of the abyss
From the caverns dim, where vague forms swim,
And shapeless chaos is!
From Hades' womb from the joyless tomb
Of Erebus and old Night
From the unseen deep, where death and sleep
Brood in their mystic might
I come I come before me are dumb
The nations aghast for dread
Lo! I have past as the desert blast,
And the millions of earth lie dead.
A voice of fear from the hemisphere
Tracketh me where I fly Earth weeping aloud for her widowhood A wild and desolate cry! Thrones and dominions beneath my pinions Cower like meanest things

Mr. C. F. Clarkson Dear Sir, The all-ab sorting topics of the day appear to be the chol
era and the wheat crop. I believe this county
is entirely clear of cholera, but the wheat crop
Is very much deficient here as well as in other parts of the west. Various are the suppositions
as to Hit cause of the rust on the wheat. Some
have alledged that it was caused by fog; others,
ehewers; others have supposed that it was caus
ed by dry weather. The cause of the rust on
wheat appears to to have been a mystery. But
I think I have found it out. On the 4th of July I was engaged in cutting wheat and at noon while we were resting ourselves, and examining the wheat by cutting the straws in pieces with a knife, I found that nearly every joint contained a small yellow worm, and some two, about onesixteenth of an inch long, and about as thick as a common pin, which had eaten a considerable
cavity in the interior of every joiut they were in; and I found tfte same in different parts of the county. This worm is very different from the
common fly that usually injures wheat. The fly is between the blade and the stalk near the
joint, while the worm is in the middle of the joint The early wheat is exempt from the de-
treyer, having got ripe before the worm came
to perfection. It is well known that early wheat is never much injured with the rust. I think
this is the cause of rust this year, and perhaps
