FRIDAY, MARCH 12, 1852. O" We are indebted to Senator Ward, of Warren county, Ohio, for a copy of the interesting report of the Secretary of State of Ohio, upon the condition of common schools of that State. We are also under obligations to the Hon. S. W. Parker, for various public document Court House. Onr County Commissioners have rented by the year the German Methodist Church in this place, for a Court House, until another is built. This is a good arrangement, and will make a comfortable and convenient place for the Court. For Oregon. Dr. W. Bowlby, of Fairfield, is about fitting out for Oregon, and will start in a few days. We regret to part with so good a citizen, but we bespeak for him a kind and cordial reception in the place of his destination Will the editor of the Portland Oregonian see that he has a suitable reception. Bj We purpose in our next paper, to give an abstract of the remarks made by the members of the Agricultural Society at Mt. Carmel on Saturday last O" S. F. Rodman.and John H.Towner have returned from California. O" If our friends wish an interesting dish of the "other side," on the subject of Temperance, we refer them to our first page. Turnpikes. We understand that the work on Metamora Turnpike is progressing rapidly. They are working on the Metamora end. But where are the friends of the Oldenburgh road, and the bridge across the West Fork at this place ? It is time they were stirring actively in this important work. Can it be possible that its friends will allow it to languish at this stage of its progress? And too, we should like to see a more active move for pushing a turn pike North west of Laurel, to Knightstown. It must be done, and what is the use of waiting about it. We are all interested in it. Whilst other portions of our State are contracting heavy debts in building railroad, the interest on which will be a constant drain on their energies and cramp their prosperity, let us be employed in constructing better improvements, without contracting foreign or domestic debts. Avoid debts, either as individuals, States, or corporations. They mar our peace, and destroy our prosperity Then let us make Useful improvements, and be independent. And is it not possible that a connection can be effected between West Union and Connersville with a turnpike. We wish some one would look to this matter. Co l hoi ic Krsolntiono, The resolutions of the Catholics of Indianapolis and vicinity, which will be found inanother column, are plain and pointed, and are forming an item iii the history of politics. And in relation to their publication we see that Brows, of the Sentinel, has Bgain been caught in his besetting sin, that of fibbing. It is to be regretted that tlie general character of the public pres is to be so injured by so prominent an editor. But the public should recollect that this with him is not peculiarly an editorial trait. He evinced the same trait when acting as groom in Rush county, as well as when a Congressman in his seat at Washington. t-' thela"""-"'1"-The Dem . ; .vj,arty, jn tneir selection of a State Ticket, in order to be accommodating, and conciliatory, selected on their ticket, preachers, class leaders, moralists and notorious drunkards.

Also No. 3 of vol. 3 of Illustrated Natural History. These are interesting publications, but if any of our friends wish to subscribe for them they need not apply to us, as the publisher, contrary to what they advfrtise, will allow agents nothing for their trouble, or postage th- y may pay for them. We have tried them. They exoect the rare merits cf their works to recommend them, without any courtesy, or fidelity to promises, on their part. Dentil or I K. W. Virlrr. The following is an extract of a letter from John T. M'Carty, Esq. dated Marytville, Cal. January 16th, 1S52: " I received a letter from a man by the name of Kelly that D. E. W . Vieley was dead that Vieley and others started for the White River mines, about 200 miles distant-that they had proceeded about 100 miles when they were attacked by a band of Mexican robbers that Viely was mortally wounded, though then alive that he desired Kelly to write to me that he V X ll f?vinn- mn .... 1 a--mui "u ior Hie 10 nntp ia hi i friends his sad fate.

The prisoners were secured and none escaped. 5-John A Matson, of Putnam county, was President of the Whtg State Convention which recently assembled at Indianaopolis. In his address upon taking the chair, he alluded to his own political life, and remarked that he supposed his race in this respect was run, and that he would never be before the people again. Some one in the crowd hallowed out, "NO SIR-EE BOB.' We have seldom heard such shouts as then went np f,om that vast concourse of whigs. Matson come dow n, and said he was ready for the haruessagain.

It is with you gentlemen, the tillers of the soil, to correct the mistaken judgement of the Country, the long perverted conclusion that the professions of law, medicine &c, are the most honorable. It is a sad mistake indeed, and how often have I with regret observed, that the most promising Son of the farmer, is so usually selected and educated for some of the professions. This should not be so, and 'tis with you gentlemen, by educating your sons as scientific and intelligent farmers, and by your and their examples, show to the oountry, that the profesaion of Agriculture is what I have always held it to be, the most honorable and desirable.

We, the uudersigned Catholic citizens of the county of Marion, and State of Indiana, haying remained, until within a short period, silent, but deeply interested spectators of the various movements which have been made In different portions of the country, in regard to the reception of the noted Hungarian chieftain, Louis Kossuth, and the interference of this government in the political affairs of the nations of continential Europe; being fully assurred, that silence upon these important subjects is no longer compatible with the high relations which we bear to our fellowmen, with the dearest interests of the country of our nativity and of that of our adoption, and above all, with the obi igntions under which we live to our Holy Catholic Church, most respectfully publish to the werld, as expressive of our opinions and future action, the following resolutions: Resolved.

The course for Irishmen in this country is plain. It is, to disregard the requisitions of the Hungarian Governor.

Resolved, Thtt we have viewed with unfeigned regret, the effort, which have lately been made, by many distinguished member, ol the Democratic Party, to engraft the extravagant assumption, of Louis Kossuth upon the Democrats creed. Whilo we acknowledge oursympathies for, and alligations to, this great national organization, we remember that we have a higher master to serv s, and higher interests to conciliate, than any of mere human insUtuUon, or mere earthly consideration. As religionists of a church, whose founder we believe to have been the Saviour of the world, we are bound to enter our protest, in unmistakable terms, against every crusade, whether devised by individual, or par- '

perpetuation of the interests of our church.and of our Heavenly Master. Resolved, That, in the approaching election, we will withhold ou' votes aud our Influence from every man without distinction of party for j any office whatever, who shall publicly endorse the doctrines, or publicly applaud the conduct of Louis Kossuth; and that we will neglect to avail ourselves f no honorable means to ensure his defeat. Resolved, That the Catholic citizens of every county in the State, be, and they are hereby in vited, to take ground similar to our own, in or der that they may render effectual aid to their mjst holy religion, and check the march of one the most dangerous species of fanaticism. Resolved, That tlie Iudiana State Sentinel, and the various other presses of the State, which may indulge a friendly regard for our cause, be, and they are hereby requested , to publish these resolutions, for the use of a portion of their subscribers.

Lord Derby, who is likely to be the next Minister has something to offer in favor of the reform bill, but the Times says that it will not stand much in his way to office.

Correspondence of I be Amcrlcnn. I.tDiAMAPous, Feb. 26, 1852. Mr. Epitor: I gave you, last week, a sketch of the doings of the conventions. Their candidates are now in the field, and already the battle waxes hotter. Being a Wright man, myself, I confidently expect his election. He has been a popular and prudent Governor, and deserves to be returned to the post he has so ably filled. Yet, I confess that his warmest friends have lowered their standard as to numbers. From 20,000 majority .they have fallen to 10,000 My own opinion is, he will get from 8,000 to 12,000 majority; and yet he may not get so many. Politicians, more than almost any other class of men, have occasion to punctuate the lines of the poet so as to read, "There is a Divinity that shapes our ends rough, hew them as we will." His enemies have frequently, said that the Devil would get Jo. yet, and they seem determined to have it so, for they have put "Old Nick," on the track, saying that Jo. will have to mind his p's and q's or he will catch him before the first of October. Against any mere man Wright would run without fear, but "Old Nick" has so many personul friends in various quarters, that it is doubtful what may be the result of the canvass this time. McCarty may be a man of good sense, but he has a poor way of showing it, at least as a speaker. I think he is better calculated for making stumps than for making stump speeches. He swings his hands

about as gracefully as if he were felling trees, and occasionally stops and blows as if fatigued by overexertion. His performance in this line, at the convention was rich. And now, after all, this samo awkwardness may not hurt him, with the people. Wright has figured largely in the agricultural interests of the state and relies ' mch upon the popularity this has given him should the farmers conclude to try practical ! od farmer, even without the grace of oratory, "01J Mck" may come closer to "His excellency d Nick" may come closer to "His excellency than will be agreeable One thing will, I opine, come nearer defeating W no-lit than almost any thing ese. I predict that Kossuth stock, which the Governor has a great quant.ty.will below par before October. His visit to our city has cost the state several thoumd dollars out of the pubhc treasury. The per diem of members of the leg.slature and their travelling expenses to umc innati after him, will make fine show in the lis, of expenses, which the hard listed yeomanry of the country must meet. , mav I tinnntui :ir met nnw t j " - -1 ' x t " jw uv v duj vr uu nviu gainst this illustrious humbugger. If I dared do it, I should pronounce him a great man, and a great Humbug. If he is a representative of the Republicauu-m of the old world, long may it remain at home. His suit must always doff their hats at bis approach, and otherwise ac knowledge his authority. Last Saturday the printers waited en him ith a present of $50. They called at the Capitol House at 4 P. M. and sent iu their card. He informed them, he was dining. At half past four they sent again, and he informed them he was smoking. At five they sent again and he deigned to allow them a hearing after keeping them an hour waiting to present their fifty dollars. Now all this may be Republican iu the estimation of the people's Governor and the people's Representatives, but it would be hard to convince some of your farmers that it is a proper use of their money to spend it in lionizing a man of such notions. It ; nia)' be Republicanism but it is not our Repub- . , licanism. But I ought to tell you something about the (Legislature. Most ef the people know there is such a thing here, at all events, they will know it at tax paying time. They are doing something and even talking of adjourning son.eiiipii next summer. They have been in session but a little over three months, and will probably continue one or two months more. A proposition was made to adjourn for a few weeks, leaving com - mittees to work in the inter'.iii, but this v.-as ob- ! jectionable, as all could not be oa those commit tees, and it would not look well to charge per ' diem, milacp. & c durimr mrli Mil innrit ri.iit. ! This project is abandoned, niui a better one adopted. It is to grant leave of absence for an indefinite length of time and take turns in going home. Nearly one fourth of each house is now absent. In this way per diem continues and business is transacted in the absence of the one fourth. One member of the Senate, Hon. Mr. Longshore, of Randolph, took a flying visit to Noblesville, the other day, without first asking leave. His constituents, in order to show what manner of spirits, they were of, elected him, in preference to his competitor, because he could drink more bald face. In short he was elected on the whiskey ticket; and in order to represent his constituents he has kept his spirits up, by pouring spirit, down. A few days ago, on starting to the senate chamber, he found the city turned t'other end foremost, and he started east instead of west, and, after wandering around awhile, he spied the Depot Building, of the Madison Rail Road. He made for it aud began mak ing sundry interesting motions, which threatened to throw him under the locomotives that were switching about. The hands, not knowing that he was a grave and honorable senator, carrying out the will of his constituents, in exemplifying the great advantage of a moderate use of whisky, shut him up in the bagage car, of the Noblesville train, and turned the key on him. After the arrival of the Madison train, the conductor of the Noblesville train, In putting things to rights, for a startled him into the passenger car, yet ignorant of the distinguished character of his passenger. In a few minutes the cars were off, and it was not till they were a considerable distance, that the senator knew his whereabouts, or the conductor his passenger', name and occcupation. The conductor, being a benevolent man, did not put him out in the woods, as he might have done because he had no money to pay hi. fare with, but trusted him for bis fare, both ways, which he, like an honorable man, paid, after his return, next day. Now there is a grave question discussed hereabouts in relation to this affair. No one doubts the right of the Senator to hi. per diem. He was carry out the will nf hu .... tuents in getUng drunk. That was the understanding when he was elected. But the question is whether he is entitled to milage. It ia contended that if the state pay. the expense, of the " - - vuiiDir committee who went after Kossuth, it ought to pay all reasonable expense, incurred it exemplifying how important to elect drunken senators. And moreover, he was legislating on the tem perance bill by being absent the day th vote was j taken. By the way, that temperance onestion , ou lne carpet again and will continue to be j agitated till even this legislature will do somei u"g- w nat it will be, is uncertain. It will j however repeal all licence law. and substitute j some several penalties for the old ones. But it not meet the demand oftbe people for the ! Maine Law, and hence that question will be a prominent oue next summer. SPECTATOR. ID" At Massilon, a young lady 'medium,' was arrested for causing rappings in church during divine service.
