FRIDAY. JUNE 3, 1853.

Absent. C. F. Clakksos, the editor of the American, is absent in the East.

lledgrr. On our first page will be found an excellent article on hedges by Nutt & Quick, now of York, Illinois, formerly of this County. They are industrious, honest and enterprising young men, and from their circular upon the subject, they must have studied and matured the subject of hedges thoroughly. We ask the pe ple of Clark Co. Hi. and the state generally, to give them a trial, and we guaranty they will always be found right. Wc believe the Osage Orange will supplant all other shrubs for hedges. And to the man of taste and cttention, thev will form ornamental as well as im

passable fences. Printed Briefs. Hereafter all cases carried to the Supreme Court of Indiana, are to be accompanied with a printed Brief, setting forth the principles of the case, and the grounds upon which the party taking the repeal rely and the law authority cited. This will make more printing, and a little more costly to the parties. But it will facilitate business in that Court, and it is the practice in most of the States. The printers will now have to read the bad writing of lawyers, instead of the Judges. We understand that the Martinsville Rail Road is now completed to Franklin and the Madison & Indianapolis Rail Road have stocked it with their cars and are busily engnge'd in carrying the trade of that country to Madison. Rush County Fair. In Rush Co. they offer a pretty rich

list of premiums at their approaching

Fall Fair. It is to be held at Rushville

on the 1 4th, 15th, and I6th days ot Sept. Among their list of premiums are five silver cups, and seven 6ett of silver

Tea Spoons. Shrtbj-ville.

This is becoming rapidly a Rail Road

town. The Jeffersonville Rail Road ex

tending from EJingburgh to Rushville passes through. The Knights-town terminates there the Lawrenceburgh

and India:ipoli Ro! pses through

and the Madison men are running a road

from Columbus to that place. The question seems to be w ill those roads bring anything to Shelbyville or take everything from it? One thing is certain, the roads give the town great life. One cr two mere fires would make a decent town of the place. Building Schoel House. The new School Law leaves the erec

tion of School II ouses in the hands of

the people. They may build new ones or let it alone just as they may elect. This is democratic and we have no objection to it, but still we have our fears in regard to the people doing their duty they may aim to be economical, not to increase their taxes, which now are per

haps high enough and by refusing to

build School houses may cheat their own children out of their rights a good edu

cation and a healthy School House in

which to obtain it. There ar but few suitable School houses now in existence in this county. Nearly all of those which have been built under the "old dispensation" are too email, o'ten cold and sometimes poorly arranged and badly ventilated. In most of the Townships where a vote has been had the decision has been not to build th old houses must do for the present generation, and '-if our children want to build larg- school houses', why, then let them do it, we have taxes enough to pay." S talk some of the old Hunkers. Well now if wo could argue the case we certainly w ould do it, for in this the old part of the State we are (ailing behind the times, and are getting far Irhind our fellow citizens of the West

ern and Northern parts of Indiana in Rail Roads, Colleges, Sclio jI houses and consequently in enterprize and general intelligence. School houses are now to be built by direct taxation but the laying of that tax depends upon the wi! ef the people in each respective o u nship, and unless a liberal policy is pursued by those having the right of suffrage the cause of education must languish, the children and young men end women of our State will be robbed of the dearest right and privilege of American yo: th.j) Then let it b j remembered that tlie youth ol our country must be educated or else in the future they may cost us much more to support them in our institution where they will have neither character nor intelligence. Let our farmers throughout this country ponder these things well, and devise liberal things for the education of their children, and then thoir country will be proud of tha services which they may have rendered, and perhaps prouder still of the deeds which their children may perform.

Tlie Cincinnati Gazette. The Cincinnati Gazette is one of the oldest and best established periodicals in the West. We have been a reader of it for nearly 30 years. It was one of the very first journals we read in the days of our boyhood, and for many years we have been ii the habit of relying on its assertions as being generally temperate, manly and credible. But for the last several years we have discovered that the whole talents and energy of the Gazette were made to subserve the private interests of the men who make up and form the "Cincinnati Gazette Company," who own the office and have entire control of the Paper. As individuals and as a Company owning the Gazette these men have taken a large amount of stock in the II. & D. Rail Road and it is said in the Cincin

nati & Mississippi Rail Road and hence tions the edifice of their erection stands

the Gazette seems not to be aware of the : an eternsl monument of their narrioti.

One of the noblest sentiments of our Revolutionary Fathers was "Millions for defence but not one cent for tribute." This principle ws worthy of their patriotic devotion and creditable to their Republican character. Boldly did they

profess it and manfully did they defend it and we of the present day have their

proud example before us as a beacon of

instruction and a safe guide to our hon

or, happiness and independence.

The heroes of the Revolution were

willing to be taxed on correct principles

for the support of the government and

for the good of posterity. They felt that they were laying the broad foundations of a Republican Empire and every true American was found placing his shoulders to the wheel. The grand re

sult of their action is known to all na.

It is acknowledged on all hands that

Flft-hting far Principle. The present is said to be an age of

conflict between error and truth. The former has long reigned long held the

masser in the passiveness of mental helplessness. The bold and the ambitious spirits of the times have governed the people by interest on the one hand and by flattery on the other. A little money

and a few petty offices with the addition of some buncom compliments finish the work. Battles are fought victories are won great glorifications are had the people are in extacies but alas! honor

is trampled to the dust truth is still locked up in the cells of the dark ages, and principle is left to support itself as best h may. One of the most prominent mottoes of all such leaders is "that personal in" terest and popularity are never to be sacrificed for the public good." On this they act and when their ends are attained they leave the world to wag on as best it can. Another class among the leaders of the people is found among those who never commit themselves to any moval enterprize until they are well satisfied it "will pay." If its pop

ularity is doubtful "they have not had

r who now sleep in time lo emine it"' or "they ttre rearf -were true and faith- of its ll'aiam." &c. Some excuse

will be hatched up to justify their non-

committaiism, and at the same lime en

We have been very much diverted, and not a little disgusted in watching the

there seems to be nothing worthy ol par

ticular untice. However, lest the no

tice of my untimely death by suicide,

puDiis-hed a week or two ago in the History of Humbugs, (a very appropriate place for it) should distress my friends in Indiana, aud particularly my dear cousin June Smith, I have concluded to inform you that I am "alive and kicking." By the way, the supplement to my friend's book ol Humbug, in which the above false alarm is given, is the only racy and readable portion of the work yet published. Let him throw away the books from which he has been transcribing whole chapters, and depend upon his own "unaided genius," and his book may beoriginal.il itis a Humbug! You have heard of the great tunuel being constructed for our short-line railroad, through the immense hills that lie east of the city. For three months the workmen have been engaged in sinking ashalt near Walnut Hills, and have now got down nearly two hundred feet. Yesterday I visited this prodigious work aud went down the hile. Although a dozen caudles are kept burning at the bottom, it is impossible, in looking down from the top to see anything but darkness. The bucket is let down and drawn up by a steam-engine, and I stepped into it for a ride below. Very soon I came to utter darkness and continued descending in this gloomy atmosphere for some time before the I ghts below were visible. Arrived at tlie bottom, I found a

dozen dirty and Moody-looking Irishmen j ,' nt work apparently as well satisfied as I i

should have been just then, to be

agin." I very soon got ready for my

upward trip, but wus a little taken aback when the fellows, w ho reully looked like

ed Irish orator, has delivered two or

three very eloquent and interesting lec

tures here during the last week or two. His oratory, so far as I am capable of

judging, is of the highest order. He

seems to be a thoroughly educated man,

tun oi patriotic lira and noble aspirations. Although a Catholic by birth and education, Mr. Meagher is an earnest advocate for toleration and liberty a fact that may account for his unpopularity with the hierarchy. The London newspapers are full of Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe's journey

through "merrie England." Charles Dickens was never more completely lionized by the Jeremy Didlers of Yankeedom, than is this hdy by the big-bellied aldermen of British cities. I do not object to their attentions to our talented country-woman, but you will remember how we were laughed at rfor our heroworship some time ago, bv these same English folks. And it will be a rich joke if Mrs. Stovre should publish on her return, some "British Notes for General circulation." The Rev. Dr. Tomlinson, formerly President of Augusta College, one of the most learned and popular diviues of the

West, destroyed his own life, in a fit of insanity, at h's residence in Neville, a few days ago. The day before the sad occurrence, I saw him in this city, and he appeared very cheerful and rational. The disease is a hereditary one, I learn, in his family. What a melancholy and distressing event is this, considering how great a man has fallen!

Fire. The quiet of our city was disturbed on Tuesday by the alarm of fire. It seems that it was caused by the burning.of the chimney of Mr. I. H.
