The day was pleasant-lhev had a large, crowd and an excellent dinner, free and abundant for all. A bible was presentee to the Division of that place by the ladies. Addresses were made by John A. Mttson, Mr. Crookshank, and Jacob Lanius. Every thing passed off pleasantly-satisfactory the people mid the order. The editor of the American was treated with the utmost courtesy by the people of Carmel and many satisfactory apologies made for the hasty, and what was now evident, unjust censures upon his conduct. The editor has seen too much service, and knows to well the power ef human prejudice and pas-ion, to be disturbed by these blind and furious tumults. Be cool and always act right, and soon as the storm subsides, impartial justice mid calm reason will render a correct verdict. (CTThe Rev. L. W. Herry, who has labored on this District for the last three years, with so much talent and devotion, b ft Comiersville on Tuesday last with his family, for Greeueastle, the future theatre of his labors, as President of the Asbury University. He has but few superiors in talent, industry and energy. Tha sc. who have beard bis pulpit , forts, need no further evidence of the strong,!,, power and comprehension of his mind. He has many warm and devoted friends in this valley, who are reluctant to part with him. But he onlv obeys the calls of the church and people, for whom he is willing to spend his life, i w hatever station lie can be most useful. The Institution to which he has been cslled, will be a mighty agent in moulding the morals and character of the west. We b. li, ve it is destined to be the leading institution of learning in the Mississppi valley. Then we should willingly y i-ld so dear a friend, when called to other and more important fields of labor. May he bo fully endowed with the uecessary wisdom and grace for the duties of his station. And we hope he will find fraqnent opportunities, at vacations, to visit his devoted friends in this region. 'ot Htnrtcd yet. Owing to some delay in getting the aid of a tinner, Geo. W. Kimble's perpetual motion will not be in operation for a few days. The public are respectfully requested to keep down popular excitement as much as possible, and not to .frowd his shop, as it will embarrass the operations ofjthe artisans. It cannot b- expected the w orld can keep calm at the eve of the consummation of such an event-such a mighty revolution in the mechanical and motive power of the world. Prophets, philosophers and mighty men of gei.ius cant te expected to draw a breath without shouting a little. But when their full souls can no longer keep silence, prudence would dictate that they retire to the adjacent hills to give vent S3 their just exuberance of joy. Otherwise the God of Genius, which is now evidently hovering over our town, 1 v clamorous outbursts might K caused to take bis everlasting flight, beforo bis mighty mission is accomplished. Therefre keep silence and stand in awe. Tbis is a matter to be made sport of no longer. The matter is settled whose name is to be immortal, to be equalled . -:i!y by one other manthe di-e,ner, r ,.f the philosophers stone. Kimhhv informed us the present week that so soon he finished his perpetual motion, it could not help running! That's tiie idea exactly. The thing is to hav- none of the credit for going. It can't help it. Proud Immortality! The name of Franklin, ('...Hileo Fulton, are wax tapers, aad will be forgotten When the :unie of the iuveutor of perpetual molion will be uttered ia veneration by every tongue.

About ten weeks ajro, we had a common ion. at which twelve united: nine by examination, and three by certificate. Feeling heCa n to deepen and to become more general. About six weeks ago, after our , usual service, fifteen appeared before the ses- , sion: twelve of whom were received on exami- , nation. About three weeks after, eight more united on examination. On last Sabhath, we bad a communion, during which, fifteen united, thirteen on examination, and two on certificate! Most of tl ese who united during the past two or three months, were persons with whom we bad bad repeated conversations, and who. for some time, had been under deep impression. The work has been gradually progressing without any extra meetings or exciting measures. It has bee,, marked by a growing 7eal and activity on the part of the members. Those who united were principally children of the Church; twelve or thirteen, however, were heads of families. We have organized a prayer meeting for young men, which, from our first meeting.

Another Illicit Mrr Aftuir in Ml. I.otli-.. TMK NOTOMOIS c.vrr. JOHN" HOW-AMI SHOT.

The St. I,ouis papers contain an account of nnotlier ex ititiir love nm) in alluded to the other day hv nor telegraphic correspondent. The folUvv ing is from the NewEra of Monday evening. The C;,pt-.iti Howard mentioned is well know n ia Louisville, and is the same indiv i 'ual whose paramour was killed 111 Cincinnati by his wife last wint- r, and is also the same man who kided young Freeman, a short tune since, at Independence. Latis.iowu is a gambler, formerly wt I! known along the Ohio an. 1 Mississippi rivers. Mr. George J I.ans.'ow 11 had fer a long time snsi.icioaed a Mr. Howard of clandestinely riveting, and having s.-cret intetviews with his (Lausiowii"sJ wife. He hail observed their actions for some time, and thought he had more than once saw Howard prowling about the street iierwhr they were boarding, in waiting for Mrs. I,. Wiih this impressirTn upon his mind, he resolved to take Howard's l'if , the 1 first opportunity he could get, and armed himself for that purpose. On passing down the street, about half past eight o'clock this morning, and when near the Monroe House, h perceived in a furniture stole, on the opposite side of the street, his wife and Howard convening together. Without a moment's hesitation, be advanced towards them, when Mrs. I,, saw him and observe;! to Howard, "he is coming," hut the warning came too late, f,,r before he rould turn and face his opponent I,ansdown fired, the bail taking effect in Howard's side; who instantly fell. He attempted to draw his pistol, but the blond flowed so profusely that lie lost his strength before he could g. t the weapon from bis po kt. It was thought by many that the ball passed through Howard's body, but 0:1 examination it was found ta have lodged v ilhi 11 him. aud at last accounts the wound was being ; probed. ' Mr. Lati'dnwn, with his wife, has been boarding at the Doniphan Hotel for a long time; he was formerly of Mississippi. He iuimediitelv gave himself up, and was committed to jail. One of the papers of Tu-sday morning says: After Ihe arrest, the officer visited Mrs. L. at the Doniphan House, where she and her husband boarded, and found her lying upon her bed weeping aud much affected." fc-he nt once enquired after the condition of Ciipt. II.; an 1 on being told that he would likely recover, she brightened up and conversed quite cheerfully, accusing her husband or possessing an abusive i:lld jealous disposition, and stateu that this was the fourth or filth man he had shot. I.ansdown si:tM tY,t he has letters in his possession which passed between Howard and his wile, which prove their criminal connection. Tlse fallowing is from the Union of Tuesday: tatliin I!v,...i. This person was still i.,ve at a late l our last evening, but the probability of his recovery, ...... ...e. immgui as sirong. as during Ihe early part ol yestei.iay. The ball with which he was shot, has not yet been found, and there appears to be uo telling what direction it has taken! He have been informed bv a gentleman, whose opportunities tor knowing are peculiar, and of the best character, a gentleman in whose veracity we have the utmost confidence, that Capt. Howard had i.ot the slightest acquaintance with Mrs Lansdown, prior to yesterday mo ni 1 n g, and this is corroborated by" the Cap"tain s own assertion, made as he believes, on his dying bed. We learn that Capt. Howard made his will yesteroay, and left his fortune some $15,000 to his children in Cincinnati. " Louisville Courier. Tenth of Prof. ., .. nri.oll. All eminent man has fa'len.

Xew Orleans papers of the 24th nit- and tel egraphic dispatches there and four days later, describe the flood in Red River, to which we have heretofore referred, as the highest aud most destructive ever known. The town of Alexandria was four feet under water on the 11th, and nearly every plantation between Shreveport and Grand Eeore, either destroyed or seriously injured. It is nearly the same case with Little River. The desolation is terrible. In many cases all the com and cotton is destroy. d, and barns, fences, gin houses and cattle, all swept away by the flood. To many the ruin will be irretrievable. Several millions in value have been lost. Some accounts say as high as five millions of dollars, at the least. A correspondent of the Delta, w ho visited Alexandria, writes August 19th, that he found the town completely submerged the front part being about 1 feet under water, the rear 6 to 12 feet. He says: "The railroad, for six miles, is carried away, and perhaps the whole will soon be gene. Chaneyville is also inundated; water then tisiug at the rate of one inch in twentyfour hours. The water extends as far as the eye can reach back of Alexandria; it looked like one unbroken lake or sea. From Alexandria to Cotile, twenty miles, there was not one foot of dryland visible; it is one solid body of water, from hill to bill; at Cotile there were a few acres ou Judge Payee's place. From there to this place there are occasionally a few acres in front that have escaped; from here up to Shreveport, and perhaps above, none 011 the bottom escaped." One account says that not .10,000 bales of cotton will be made this year where over 110,000 were made last. Another slates that what the flood left, worms were fast destroying. The appearance of the ".genuine caterpillar" is noticed in several cotton districts, aud great apprehensions are felt as to the cotton. The worm is reported unusually voracious this season Cin. Gazette. IVrliJr iind its lirtt-ihuliou. A correspondent of the Newark Advertiser, who writes from oil Imard the U. S. ship Warren at San Francisco, relates the following melancholy episode in California life. The writer says: We lost 25 men ia the harbor of Monterey, who deserted to the mines; and five sailors and three marines stole a boat with which they all escaped except one, who, on alarm being given, received a shot in the leg which has ruined him for life. The others started for the mines, but before they had gone half the way the marines parted from the sailors. The latter came to a farm bouse w here the owner treated them hospitably with supper and lodging, when the inhuman wretches turned to and robbed and murdered the w hole family, men, women, and children ! Put the people at the mines hearing of it pursued and found them, and tied them up aud shut them on the spot. Ktridte. I'm nlways used iu every house, Without regard to cat or incuse.
