It is the diminutive size of Indiana, in comparison to the other Western States. It is only little more than half the six of Illinoisand just half as largess Missouri. In the last earned seven Territories, there is enough to make 55 states as large as Luiiana. lewry tTay lonsinmtril acre Tforr. Asa matter of news Interestino; to all our rea ders, we notice that Mr. Foot. In his speech made at the City Hall. New York, recently, : tated that Gen. Cass had become a partisan ef his old opponet, Mr. Clay. His words, as re- : ported In the Tribune, were there: "Gen Foot omplimented the "Union Trinity," Clay, C is9 and Webster, for their services on the f'ommilee of Thirteen. When it was told toGeii C.iss that the labors of the committee whould finally lead to the election of Henry Clay to the Presidency, Gen. Cisa, with great good feeliur, was perfectly enraptured, expressing his perfect willingness to support such a nomination for ! the success of the "Union" party. Th. narr-,- ' tive of Gen. Foote was listened lo thronghout with the utmost attention, and he was also frequently applanded." Front Chna-reau New Ori.fams, Dee. 25.

We are informed that Mr. Jesse Funk, an extensive cattle dealer of Funk's Grove, McLean county was murdered and robbed on the 9th inst , a few miles from his residence. The circumstancesas related to us are as follows: Mr. Funk and his son left home with a considerable amount of money intending to purchase cattle for the Chicago market, and on Tuesday last was overtaken and attacked by three men. He shot one of his assailants dead and wounded another; the third man, however, fired and killed him.— The son of Mr. Funk, who had been detained on the road, arrived at the scene of the affray a short time after the death of his father, and obtained from the wounded robber a confession of the crime and a [descrpition] description of the villain who had escaped . Young Funk then shot the robber and started in pursuit of his confederate. We have not learned what amount of money was obtained from Mr. Funk.-Peoria Rep. . ———————— Man Shot.

He states that under the tariff of 184? ho received a fair and remunerative profit npon his capital, not extravigant, but sufficient to encourage the boainess;that nnder the operation of the tariff of 1846 he is liable and in danger of utterly losing the amout of his capital, and has been obliged to dimiss about one half of the hands, and the other moiety with which he is at work are laboing nnder the greatest difficulty.
