ThFl'annl. There is, in the minds of some, fears of the repair of the White Water Canal. Those who are troubled with such fears may cast them to the winds. There ;ia not the least probability in the matter. The Canal "will be repaired, we say without advices from head quarters. Should the Botrd of Directors, who were elected on Monday last, act so treacherously as to abindon it, of which there

along the Canal will promptly repair it, for their own accommodation. So far from its being abandoned, even if the company would give it up, it would be repaired in four months. There is, there, fore, no danger of its abandonment. I1 ill be repaired, and we predict that it will . be repaired speedily. The public should know that the eld hunker Hoard of Directors, who had charge of it some years ago, and who had neither cnerjry, enterprise, nor the least commercial knowledge, do not now control its destinies. They were that class who believed in slaying, at once, the goose that laid the gulden eggs. Better councils have of late prevailed business traits have distinguished their acts liberality ruled in their councils, and the public esteem and confidence, which had been alienated from it, has again been clustered around it. We acknowledge that we formerly felt sour towards the whole organization. But it was owing to their acts of personal and determined oppression upon us, as well
as their general course towards others. But it is not now in Jie hands of those who would use it as a lever to crush 'hose whom they disliked. Of late the proceedings of the board have been characterized by a liberal spirit tolls have been reduced to living rates they have been receiving their water rents in any kind of Canal obligations. In this way they were doing good, enabling our merchants and produce dealers to compete successfully with any or all others on the public commercial thoroughfares. They have been liberal to merchants and millers, until they are entitled to their largest sympathy, and a liberal outpouring from their purses. And we hope they will not be backward, but come up at once and assist in repairing the Canal. It is useless to be hesitating about it. The Canal must and will be repaired. And it can be done in three months as well as nineThen there will be six months for the mills and merchandise to be making mon
ey and six months in which to collect
toll. Repair quick, and 40,000 dollars in tolls will be saved to the Canal, and ten times as much to the business of the Va -
ley. But no one need enquire again if
the Canal will be repaired.
It is reported that the engineer has passed along the line, and says it can be
repaired lor iti0.000.
In what we say above of the business

The Indiana Penitentiary. The Wards orthe Prison Is the most important Officer In the establishment. He Is, In design, the governor of the institution. He receives salary of $700.00 per year, and resides In a house furnished by the Mate. It Is his duty to make rules and regulations for tlie government of the prison; to oversee the moral department of the tonvicts, to prescribe the kind and extent of punishment to be inflicted upon the refractory or disobedient. The State In giving these powers Into his hands designed to place him as a check to the Lessee. We admit that he ennv legally do something to make the prison system less odious than it Is. Ho may make rules and regulations he may punish refractory convicts, but he cannot "impair the validity of contracts.

Court of Common Plens. Judjre Reid has been holding, this week, in our town, his first term of the Court of Common Pleas. He seems to be straightening up and arranging things finely, in the Probate business. ' A large number of old esses, some of which have been on the docket for 20years, have been stricken from the docket. The Probate business will now be done systematically and in regular order. Promptness will also be
required of Administrators, Executors
and Guardians.
Very little civil business will be done
at this session.

He may 1 feel that they work too many hours but then the ' labour of 150 hands, one hour, is something. j And then on one side is his gid neighbor, the Lessee, on the other, a "sjt of penitentiary rascals." Let him attempt any reformatory movement not , to the notion of Mr. Lessee, and he soon finds him- ' self in aA-r. Tiis ouV-ial are all from the enlightened Doctor down Lessee men.

Among other incidents he related to us
the following: On Thursday night when the waters were about at thair highest, the Western Stage, carrying the great U. S. Mail came to Montgomery's creek mile west of Knightstown, which is a bold, rapid, angry stream when up. The driver refused to attempt the ford but the conductor (we learn that each stage now carries a drunken loafer dignified with that title) cursed him for a coward
and forced him in.

Any one can prosper and be called a business man so long as fortune smiles so long as uninterrupted prosperity swells their treasury. But let a succession of disasters by flood, fires, rust, mildews, &c. overtake him, and wrest his property f rom him, and if he then firmly facs the enemy, and brings back prosperity by his unbending energy, you have the true max. The establishment of Mr. Spear's has lost over $40,000, by flood, since the last day of Dec. 1S46. And yet they go at repairs with more energy, than at any former period. They appear determined that the fragments and chaos, ehall assume a form sooner than heretofore. But in their misfortunes they ran go for
