,. , . , puhlic meeting ot me lanets oi TempewDW. Brookville, r eh. 1st. 151. Wortht Fatros: There never wag perhaps, time, ir ben the union of all the friends of tomce, vgg ngeded more than it la now. Intemperance is mal'in? va6t inroais ,n onr countrT 0or State, and even our county and town, p.ctflteries are in operation night and day, in almost every section of oor land. In onr large cities, we see scores of wholesale, and hundreds of retail establishments; and even the quiet village mast have its licensed grog shops. The product of thousands of acres of the richest land la oar State, is wasted every year in making that dreadful poison, which annually sweeps from the United States, thirty thousand of God's creatures, sending their bodies to the drunkard's grave their bouIs to perdition; and disgracing the families to which they belong. Sir, the votanesof intemperance are ever on the alert, ever watching for somestragling soul, in order to bring it on a level with themselves; where man dwells, there are they; ready at any moment to blast his Intellect, destroy his morals, and fit him for the society of demons. A ff v years ago, sir, the good and virtuous'were roused to action by these terrible proceedings. Then they did not cry for the arm of the law to aid them, no, sir, moral suasion was their mighty weapon, and with it for a time they did nobly.' Bdt a change, a sad change has taken place. The friends of temperance have almost ceased to use this weapon; and cry for stringent laws. A'ow, we think they should have learned that such laws can do no good. But admitting that they would do good, is there any probability that such laws will be enacted? We answer there is none nor will there be till rulers oree'ected who regard integrity, more than they do popularity with the "whiskey power." Afain sir, there are others who pretend to be, and we believe are, the friends of virtue; but for the sake of a few dollars, they'fight directly against the cause. We mean those who sell their grain to the distiller! Their belter fteling', however, condemn them; and if the sub ject is mentioned to them, they try h:trd, hot in themselves by Wyi.,g. thct the "times are very hard, money i. very scarce, and that they cannot live without it." My friem', would you add to the heart-rending sorrow that tlreedy preys upon the soul cf the drunkard's Wife7 Woo! J you ruin and disgrace herchlldrea? Eut your ii.f utuce lojs not stop here, it wiil exu-ad through eUraity.and tell on the eternal destiny of the soul; and in the words of Dr. Young: "KnoW.t ihuu th'iinportance of a .oul immortal?

How then would mortal dare aid in the ruin of the soul, for the sate ofa handful of dust! Tut !! Is done done every day; and done by professor of chri.lianily ! Asain, there are those who would support this cause, if they cocM do so without incurring any expense; but tlw thought of paying a "dollcr a yoar" for the einsf, enrege, them. They would rather see vceinn.most horrid form, demoralize commuaity, than pay "onedollsr" ofahttin,l h-aven hcs lent them, topropagate temperance! Within a few years, a a-reat mantr Hifrrnt societies have been formed to aid this.cause. Among mem, the Sons of Temperance occupy a high position.

Correspondence of the Baltimore Patriot.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2. 1851. The death or the Hon. David S Kaufman, member of the House from Texas, was feelinrrl and eloquently noticed in the House yesterday, oy Messrs. Howard of Texas. Morse of T.on.;. and, McCIannahan of Pennsylvania, and McClernand or Illinois, who spoke of the honored deceased and his public and private chnreier. 'n terms ofdeserved eulogy and praise. Resolutions to go into mourning for thiry days and to adjourn in honor to the memory of the dead were offered and adopted both in the House and the Senate. The funeral will take place in the hall of the House to-morrow. So no legislative business will be done until Tuesday. Mr Kaufman will be very much missed and mourned. He was emphatically a rrood man. and a good member of Congress. I had the gooa lortune to first make his acquaintance when he was sent from Texas to Washington in the capacity of a Charge des Affairs. I liked him then, and have cherished a warm regard for him ever since, although always opposed to him politically. He died very suddenly.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3, 1651

The funeral ceremonies over the remains of the late Mr. Kaufman, in the hall of the House of Representatives, to day, was very solemn, and appropriate. The scene presented an inI structive lesson to all present. The two houI ses or Congress, the President and his Cabiuet Major General Scott and other officers or the I Army, and officers or distinction in the Navy, j were there assembled, to pay their respects to the memory of the dead, and to bury all animoi sities for the time being, and listen to the truth ful admonition that all of earth must die. i To-morrow the legislative business of the two houses of Congress will beiresumed. Four more weeks only remain of the session. A vast amount or important business is yet to be done,1 or left undone. The National Intelligencer of this morning n r - I n i n . - l.ll C If. . - n I i.uuuiiiio a ir.irr irom mr. commissioner cwibank, of the Patent Office, to Mr. Secretary Stuart, of the Interior Department. The Com missioner is as botes pepper, in his denunciations of Mr. Hugh White, a New York member of Congress of high character and stand ing, and of Horace II. Day, 'Esq., of New York, and others who have preferred charges against him, for official partiality and unlawful conduct, and submitted said charges in pamphlet form, to the President of the United States. Mr. Ewbank, for a moderate men, storms very much, and appears to have suffered his temper to have got the better of his judgement. The pamphlet charges against him contain his own official letters to two parties contending against each other upon a matter involving a quarter or million or dollars, or the equivalent or that sum. These official letters, as published, show conclusively, beyond all peradventure that Mr. Commissioner Ewbank leaned partially and unfairly to one of the parties and against the other, and yet he was to be the final umpire to decide between them. Now he does not attempt to show that these official letters of his have not been correctly published, nor that be did not write them nor authorize them to be written, nor to explain why they came to be so written, nor to show any justification of them. Instead of attempting to clear himself from the imputation which his own letters, as published, cast upon him, with the closeness of the Tamed shirt of Nessus, and which imputation he must clear up or sink before the world, the Commissioner contents himself with firing squibs at "baffled dishonest agents, defeated pirates, nd hitherto disappointed intriguers," and congratulating himself upon his own honesty and integrity, and the manner in which be has been able to do his official duty, unseduced by bribery and unawed by threats of all descriptions. The Commissioner should try again. What he has now done will not quite do. POTOMAC. Baplial t'hurthea Rev. William Crowell, formely editor of the Christian Watchman, and now pastor of a Church in Waterville, Maine will shortly take charge of the Western Watchman, published in St Louis, Mo. Over $10,000, says the Cincinnati Journal Rnd Messenger, have been obtained toward the proposed $G0,000 for the relief of Franklin College, Ia. It was aranged, at the late General Association of Indiana, that a history be written of the Baptist denomination in the state, and a biogra phy of deceased and living ministers. The third Baptist Church has been constituted 'n Minesota. Two of them, at St. Paul and St. Anthony, are now erecting meeting-houses, and all are under patronage ot the Home Missionary Society. Baptist church, for the Indians of Martha's Vinyard, has lately been erected. The Indians and negroes of that island are so blended, that scarcely a pure Indian is to oe found. Altogether, or Baptists, there are four hundred. A Baptist Association, comprising three churches and fifty-five members, has been formed at San Francisco. The Tennessee Baptists Association have voted to sustain two missionaries in China. The Baptists or South Carolina are endeavoring to endow a college in that state. About $20,000 are already subscribed: The New York Recorder states that Dr. Forsyth, formerly of albany, has receutly pledgeed the sum of one thousand dollars to the Theological department of the University at Rochester.

On Tuesday evening, a daughter of F. H. Taylor, Esq., aged about 14 or 15 years was mesmerized by the Professor before the andience, and had two or ber teeth extracted by Dr. II.

New Venr Hymn.

Thanks to our heavenly Father! Though angels tune his praise, He will permit his children Their humble song to raise. Thanks to our heavenly Father! Whose love protects us here, And spares us yet, to welcome Another happy year. For all the year departed, For all the years to come, For all the thousand blessings That crown our happy home: For all our loving kindred, For all the friends we claim, We thank onr heavenly Father, And bless his holy name He kind to the Widow and Orphan. BV MRS, SARAH T. BOLTOX. Be kind to the r-!dow,her hopes are all crushed, The light of her spirit has flown; The dear voice that ever consoled her is hushed, Her pathway is dreary and lone. Be kind to the widow the rainbow that cast, Its beautiful hues on life's stream Has vanished away, and the joys of the pat Are not hing to ber, but a dream. Be kind to the widow, for sorrow and fears Have stolen the light from her brow, Her cheeks once so lovely is faded with tears, Her heart ia all desolate now. Be kind to the widow who toils thro' long hours Alone by her emberless hearth. Whilst others ar wreathing gay garlands, of flowers And winging the moments with mirlh. Be kind to the orphan and teach him to meet With firmness the snares he must brave The heart that to his, once responsively beat Sleeps now in the night of the grave. Be kind to the orphan he cannot forget The dear one who loved him or yore, And far from the home and the hearth where they met, He weeps that they never meet more. Be kind to the orphan, for many a lure Will tempt him to wander astray, O! teach him that virtue alone will endure, When life with its dreams fadea away. Be kind to the orphan, the lone one apart, Bowed down by the chastening rod O! guide his young footsteps and teach his young heart, To trust in the promise of GoJ. Roman Catholiciam in Cincinnati. As the progress of the Roman Catholic church in the United Stales is a debateable question and one which excites a lively and general interest, I have compiled the following table of its progress in Cincinnati and Its suburbs: Marriages. Baptisms Deaths. C9!) 1C7C 992 1947 725 lr-29 1041 194S 959 2G74 14.15 lt 1154 30tJ9 4018 1530 1173 3397 2742 This table suggests several interesting comments and inferences. 1. The proportion which the marriages, baptisms, which iu this church are synonymous with births, and deaths of each year, bear to each other, Is remarkably uniform, deducting the number of deaths by cholera in 1849 and 150. The ravages of this disease bore an undue proportion numerically speaking among the Irish and Germans, who constitute the great element of Catholicity in Cincinnati. Forty-five per cent, of the deaths in this table, for 1849, and thirty per cent, of those of 1&50 are attributable to the cholera. 2. The table of marriages exhibit a comparative Tailing off, which I ascribe to the Tact that a larger share now, of German emigrants that reach this place, make directly for the country than heretofore. Cincinnati is not so extensively 1'ie landing place for Germans as it once was. The emigrating to Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa, and Missouri, passes to the lake ports, or to St.-Louis, and lauding places on the Missouri river, 3. The in crease in this vicinity of members of the Roman Catholic Church, corretponds very nearly to our own city increse of population; say ten percent, yearly. This iuference ia warranted by the list of baptisms. If so, the proportion of that communion to all others, is 35 to C5, which is the proportion I have always assigned, for the last ten or twelve years. It is greatly to be regretud that other religious societies do not keep full and accurate statistics of marriages, births and deaths. Varioua valuable information would thereby be afforded obtainable by no other means. Cists Adv. Kralgnntion. Welcome alike the crown, or cross, Trouble I cannot ak, nor peuce , Nor toil, nor rest, nor gain, nor loss, Nor joy, nor grief, nor pain, nor ease, Nor life, nor death. I leave it all to thee alone, Father, thy only will be done. IentlT I'm fading slowly, slowly as the day Fades into even and the quiet night; But with the body's sinking and decay. The spirit gathers new and holy light; A brief, brief lime and I shall be at rest Forever sheltered on the Savioui's breast. Prayer Tor Revival. O Sc of righteousness, arise, With gntte beams on Sion shine; Dispel the darkness from onr eyes, And souls awake to life divine. On all around, let grace descend, Like heavenly dew, or copious showers; That we may call oor God our friend; That, we may bail salvation ours. Reason far Dniaagra. A juror who was aitting In a case which a widow, who waa young and pretty, claimed damages in the sum of $20,000 for certain trespasses committed by the defendant, gave a a reason for being in favor of giving a verdict for the full amount, (to which the other jurors obtained) that incase the other jurors agreeing him, he intended to court and marry the widow. As the dauvigan were only giving for half the urn, the juror saij he coolJ not offered to make sacrifice.

From the Independent Pre. Reneiniacrncca of the Fairly settlement af the .TliRnai Country LETTERS FROM DR. FERRIS, NO 8. ttmmeneement of the year '90iTelaneholy Event:' Dunlap't Station attacked by the Indians. Mr. Torbet: In sketching in former numbers my recollection of the early settlements of the Miami country, I wrote mostly what had been communicated to me from others, of what Lhey bad heard and seen.hearafter I shall write mostly what I have myseir heard and

seen. The early settlers in the commencement or 1790 felt an increased confidence in their ability to repel any general attack the indiaus might make upon them. The increase? of numerical strength at Columbia. Cincinnati, and North-bend the settlement of Dunlap's station on the Big Miami, and Cavault's station on the Little Miami left but little ground to fear that any serious attack would be made on the older stations The winter was exceedingly pleasant during the whole of which there was no saow, norbnt very little fros-t.to thut for atime.there appeared to'be no difficulty thrown in the way'to hinder the most persevering industry ,in preparing the largest possible amount or land forculvation theensuing season; but while dreaming or prosperity dark cloud suddenly passed over. Mr. Abel Cook, one or the first party who had landed at Columbia to commence the new settlement there, while attempting to travel Trom Cavault's station, was way-laid and killed by the Indians News of that sad event scon reached the Fort, and a sufficient number of volunteers immediately started in search of his body, which was found a short distance from the path that had been maaked out to guide the traveler in going to the station, and near where A rmstrongs upper mills were afteiwards built. The body of Mr Cook was brought in and interred, but it was not known to what tribe the aggressors belonged,or how many there were inthe party. It was snpposed by the militia who went ont to bring the body in, that he was at first slightly wounded, and attempted to escape by flight, but was pursued and overtaken; that he made a desperate defence, from the appearance of the ground around where the body lay .but was overcome by t-uperior numbers, killed and scalped. Tlrs melancholy event taught them that whatever security they might have against a general attack, there waa no safety for them when scattered In the woods. In the month of March the attention of the people was turned away from their corn-field to their sugar crops, for until that'monlh, the weather had not been cold enough for inhking sugar. Not lone after'lhe excitement occasioned by the above related circumstance wm alltyeJ. another cry of indian alarm called the people frm their slumber. I recollect being awakened fom my sleep by the noise and confusion, and that the first souud In my ears that I could understand was"turo'out for the Indians are coming!.. There was one universal rush among the Militia from their cabins to the open apace Inside or the Fort. A roessen ger had arrived from Cincinnati bringing the Intelligence that Dun laps station was besieged by the Indians, that a Mr Abner Hunt had been taken by the Indiana the evening before, and that after an unsuccesful attempt to use him as an instrument to prevail on Lieutenent Kingbory to surrender, they had killed hint and mde a general attack, and that a Mr John W. Wallace (I believe it was) offered bis service to creep thro" the Indians onder cover of the durknes of the night, and make his way tj the new settlements for assistance. He first arrived at Cincinnati, but it was thought there could not be a sufficient force raised there not being able to judge tha number of Indians engaged in the attack, and therefore he was sent to Columbia for further assis'.ance. The first suggessiou made was that it might lie a feint, on the part of the Indians to attack that place with a Ftnail party; to draw away the militia from the stronger points, where they could strike a more fatal blow; but there was no time for delay. Iu a short time the; whole body of the Militia except a few oltlie most aged, who were left to protect the Fort, were on their march for Dunlap's station. Iu about twentyjhours they returned and reported that on their approach to the station the Indiana fled, hut on ascertaining the coorse of trail, it wa feared they intended an attack either on Columbia or Ciiv-ult'a Station. A uiesseuger was sent to lhe latter place to waru them of their supposed danger, and the night was spent in the Fort to rut il in a bett-r condition for defence. The men reported thai the people at the station had mide a most gallant defence, and that the women had proved themselves Heroines, that they not only personally vitited the men at their posts, and furnished them with food and drink, but encouraged them to acquit themselves like men, and when their lead was like to fail, melted their pewter spoons and plates, and run them into balls. Daring the balance of the war the valor of the Colerain heroines was oft referred to, as worthy of imitation, and as oue of tho ineeus by which the inhabitants of that place were preserved from iu iiacrimiuate slaughter. Yours, truly, E. F. Trial by Jorj. The privilege which American citizens and British subjects enjoy of being tried by their peers, although it is called a "palladium," a prllur," a corner stone." in the temple of liberty, and as forth, is liable to as many fluctuations as a read shakes iu the wind. Y e 00 not say that it is not fairest from that hu men wisdom can devise but merely that the prejudices, passions and aeaknrss rf mm render lis result very fallible tests of gniit. Although juries are sworn to lender their verdicts eceording to the law and the evidence, it cannot be doubted that til law of feeling freqnetly outrages the requirements of the laws of the land. If the leaning to wards severity in this country were as strong as the basis towards mercy, we ehould be called the most cruel people on the face of iheearlh. Probably not one among one thousand condemned to death for capital crimes in the United States ia innocent; while on the olh' rrhand one-third or the culprits justly accused of such crimes, either escape the gallowa through the softhearted ness of jurors, or tho clemency of executives- (Noah's Sunday Times.
