There ia tot a more hetUthfttl towa in the Weil, if there ia in the (Jailed wteUw. Laal fall, whin the hole West was ahakiog with th vgite, there wa aot, to the boat of our knowledge, a taglo cave in the town, of n population of about 1,600, nor any In the loimedlata itlghborhood. Aad thia haa been the general oharaotat far health, for more than twenty jeara. In the ant eettlement of the plana, it eiflbred, in common with all near oooatrtea, from malarious dlaeaaea, hui fbff twenty yeara it bae been al moat eworaiy exempt from them. T thea, wae added in earlier time, lite dreadful eourii, milk-sickness, which baa long since passed away, with the I pro vernen i of the farm, and it haa aot hjeen known aaaong u tot nearly the wtm Hmfth of time. ept la rare aaeea of oalpabl disregard of (he knon prfr-eatWen.

ThU eaaao abawdy from oklaatw of Brook vllie, and portiona of tit oo entry whuaw prosperity or adeeraity arfceis the bnaioeaM of the town. Add to thia the fail urea of Tenet and the Bur nn, to Hut uu.iuH ui e.'.vutHj faiinroa thai attested the in tare , direotlj or indirectly, of the whom none munUy, and it is not very diffcult to int for the derangement in buai- ! the partial failure of run ny otbere, which followed. Tbott merchant owed many person of very mall means, and mot of thoae who wem required to foot the ezpenaea of the ratlaoad project, were our meohan ioa and laboring men, and men of mall capital. No wonder, then, that pecuniary embaraaameat ehould follow euch dieaatere. To this may be added another disturbing element. After having done more than all otbere to induce the etilaena of thia vicinity to risk money and property in the enterpriae of building a railroad inducing aome to jeopardize every foot of land they owned, and not jeopardising a cent himself, and after rraliaiog ahandeome fortune out of the enterpriae, by way of ealarj and ecjomiteion, the principal mover in the scheme, instead of remaining to repair the losses sustained, by those who ware eroduiooa enough to embark ia she unfortunate adventure, reeolved to move to Iowa. With thia resolution came another, to make his now purchaao aa profitable as possible, by taking with htm aa many settlers aa poeaibU, and at the same time make another fortune, by large commissions on money expended in entering land by him for others. Thia haa taken from as many worthy aad induatrious nme. who bad loat largely in tbo railroad failure, who were compelled to seil their remaining property at whatever they could get for it, thus throwing a large amount of real estate into the maiket at once,' and greatly depreciating it value. But it baa done more. Such were the inducements to invest money in Iowa lands, that those who hove hitherto lent money to business men, hara sent their surplus cash to Iowa, in investment that may be profitable and may not, and hundreds have borrowed largely for the same purpose, thus removing from our midst most of the floating capital that has hitherto added to our business transactions. Bat, shall thia slate of affairs continue? To suppose so, is to manifest mtler ignorance of our resources and the laws of prosperity. As to the surrounding country, it never was more prosperous. The prices at which lands have recently sold, clearly indicate hat if those who have heretofore owned them, think they cam better themselves elsewhere, there ate others ready and willing to take ttoer sjeeae Lands never add higher han they am now, in the vieinity of Brookville. As to the town itself, it would be preposterous to suppose that with im unequaled advantages it will not vary aeon recover its loaaeu, and

1 less wealth around us, in rich soil, and well improved farms and roada, and industrious and enterpriaing farmers, with the millions of pork, and corn, and wheat, and flour that must reach market through Brookville paekera. and merchants, and miliars, and produce dealers, Brookville can not long remain crippled. There ia too much inherent, unalienable vitality in the town and its surroundings. If its present population ahould leave it instanter, a new and vigorous one wo'd be driven in, by the imperative laws of commerce. However great the wound, and however malignant the final, farewell atab given by aome, it will speedily overcome all, and in a very short time exhibit signs of healthful life. Alreedy several who went away, in momenta of deapondenoy, wiah themselves back again. A few months of ehnking haa made them prefer health and smaller profiti, to what they have obtained in the exchange. There ia one element of future prosperity of Brookrille, not eateemed as its merit deserve. The unsurpassed educational faeilitiue afforded in our youthful but promieing Colloge, together with the acknowledged health fulneaa of our town, offer toducomenta to men of famine and money, to mow hero, if it be bat until their children are educated, and then return to their farma or former homea. Already set oral afa inquiring after property for thia expree purpose. Many ot theae will engago In aomn business for tht lima being, and many will remain after their families are educated. We speak advisedly, when we say that no town offer equal inducements to taffe persona. The educational faollb tits are unsurpassed by an Institution of it age, and our health is proverbi1. whiiejust at tbie time, property, either to rout or sell, Is extremely low. Dut it aan not remain an long. Our ad vie to those who are not compelled to Mil, U to hold on patient ly Keep your property in good repair, nntUtothibeat advantage, and sell It only at a fair priee. Qreat Flrt At Matamora We ar in debt to Dr. Klteh for th datatU of a most disastrous fir aMat amora, .hieb oeenrted on he morning of th 1st Inst From the beat Information h eould gather before leaving, It originated In th Walker Mi'ls. about two o'oloek In tba morning. Thes Mills wer burnt, and the aardlng mills adjacent, and the Kubottorn milla, and warehouse, and two or three dwelling houses on tba north id of the street, and th thubtttt of John Armstrong, Isq. All the buildings between th mills and the Walker store-room were burnt. This wae saved with great difficulty. The Oordone had bought th Walker milla last Hatnrday, and hail taken possession on Monday. The Kubuttom milla were to be aold next Friday. No inaur-an-m, unleaa it waa on Mr. Arm strong's grocery. The losses are eMtimnted as follows: Rubottom'a Betete, Warehouse. Mills, the., The Gordons, Bleokledg it Lakin, in H,0oo 7,600. wheat nnu corn, John Armstrong, dwelling,', grocery, ko., S33.000, on which waa an insurance of 1.600. ,000. 1,600 7U0 Montague, A "Type of the Timaa." N'othinsr more pointedly indloatea the progress! re character of the pres ent age than the success which attends the promulgation of a scientific im provement in the orthography of our mother tootrue. Like all other time saving and labor-saving contrivances, that are constructed on philosophical principles, it ncods but to be examined and tested to be adopted; and ae there is no patent on it, by which its use may be controlled, no wonder it is rapidly coming into use. "The Typ of the Times," a very spproprtate name for the organ of this Reform, comes to us this year greatly improved in appearance, and exhibiting every sign of prosperity and usefulness. It is printed in the reformed orthography, which differs so slightly in appearance from the old spelling that it may be read with very little hesitation; it in filled with miscellaneous and scientific reading matter of a superior stamp, excepting a few pages that are occupied with editorials and matters relating to the promotion of the phonetic cause. It is issued twice a month, 16 pages, at $1 per year. Longley Brothers Publishers, Cincinnati, O. Among tho indications of the progress of this reform, that have appeared within a few months, is the publication, by the above firm, of a larga Dictionary in the new orthography, which is destined to rival in popularity both Webster and Worcester. We commend this' subject to teachers especially, and to parents who have children to be educated. A Rich Hoax. One of the richest hoaxes of the season is the discovery of anew "oath-bound League," endangering "the liberties of the people." A few persons, for a joke, got up a pretended ritual, constitution, dec, sod had them printed in the Journal office at Indianapolis, but never called for them. They were thrown around as waste paper for awhile, and at last one swept into the street. Forthwith the Sentinel published it, and ail the Old Line papers follow suit as if something awful were disclosed.

Petty Depredations. For some nine month our citizens have been rxposed to aome vexatious, depredation that demand the moet decided measures of correction At In .t sufficient information has been obtained, against the perpetratora, or a part of them, to enable the Courts to take cognisance of their conduct. The citizens owe it to themselves, to bet vigoroualy in the punishment of these offenders, by the employment, if necessary, of an assistant proaeoutor. Now that the hand of the law can be laid upon them, let its weight by felt. Beyond doubt, the same class have been engaged in the chicken stealing, orchard and vinyard robbing, sign removing, and aimilar offenaes that are less exeussble and more disgraceful than horse stealing. It should be no mitigation of their punishment that most of them are respectably ooaneeted. Prompt treatment now, may save them from years of hard labor in the penitentiary, and it may save the people from the horrors of incendiarism. We have no doubt that these same juvenile rogues were engaged In setting fire to tho college a short time ince. They should be arrested and punished at one. If thia oan not be done

otherwise, the corporation should em ploy anight watoh, and if thia can not bo done, every man will be compelled to wateh his own promises. In thia ease, wejrecommend a free use of powder and shot. It will bo a great favor to the perpetrators themselves, and to the community, to lay them on their backs a few weeks, until they havo time to learn a few of the rudlments of good behaviour We have no language to express our contempt for suoh conduct. Persona who would remove a gate from garden, would ateal from tho drawer of a stare If they had opportunity. There I nothing that they would not do. If they might escape detection. Out of reepeet to their friends, we withhold their names for the pmaent.

In Congress, last week Mr. Lane of Oregou called attention to the horrible sufferings of tho whites in Oregon, and Washington territories caused by the unchecked outrages, of the Indians, 200,000 of whom, of various tribes are located therein. He alluded to the frequent murders committed, and stated that no step of the administration had thus far been of service in restraining theae savages. Unless some severe step is taken the whites will be wiped out entirely. He earnestly appealed for an appropriation of i 300,000, to secure the services of friendly Indiane, who alone could in summer penetrate to the hiding places and fortresses of the foe. He introduced a bill for that purpose, and tbo samo was referred to the Committee on Waya and Means. Mr. Campbell, Chairman of the Ways and Means, said the matter would be considered immediately.

A company of men from Mew Haven are about to t-t irt with tht i families, goods and chattels, to make a settlement in Kansas, and found a rt city. The Locating Committer have already set out to find n appropriate place to settle down upon snugly, and to Uku immediate measures for the erection of n church and school house, so that Kew England may feel at home when she gets out beyond the Prairies.

Kansas to be a State-Squatter lev-1

-wj wsrweMBisN ssB ar j mvm s mmmm9 Senator Douglas, from the Committee on Territories, has reported a bill for the admission of Kansas into th rAlamtTJ rjannHiatAei law it at Vcathms. Unioh. it provides that when the population shall amount to 93,420; the Legislature may provide by law for the election of delegates to form a State Constitution, and delegatee to be elected by the representative district, each district to elect double the number of delegates to which it may be entitled to representatives in the Territorial Legislature; and that at ad election all white male inhabitants tt yeara of age. who have resided sis months in the territory and three months in the district, and posses the o her qualifications of Hectors, shall be entitled. to vote. It also provides that sections sixteen and thirty-six shall be appropriated for the use of schools: that seventy-two sections shall be set apart for a State University, and ten sections for the erection of State buildings; that all the salt springs not excising twelve in number, shall be given to the State; and that five per eent. of the net proceeds of sales or Und shall be ijivvn to the State for internal improvements. This is an abandonment of the moet distinguished feature of Douglas's Kansas Bill. In addition to it being an amendment to that bill io providing for an crly admission of that State, it changes the terms of citisenship by requiring a residence of six months In the territory, instead of a mere "residence," of an heur as the Iniquity provides. This is a hopeful indication that even the party will abandon that ohief of villianiee ae practiced and tsUght in th" lemtnnsl loll We have not seen . Sewtrd'i iuhstltule for thin hill of IJUUUU.

We will try to be present on the I 7th Letter from Judge Conk ling W. publtah in itnolhei part of tl in ttomiog'l paper, an able and interesting letter from Judge t'onkliiig, setting forth the reasons which lead him to regard the success of the Republican movement as essential to the peaeeand harmony of the Union, and general welfar of the Confvdereey. H gives to it bis unqualified adhesion. Hia si-etch of the steady progress of the Slaveholding interest towards ascendency in the General Gov. eminent, is exceedingly clear and lor eible. The letter derives additional significance, from the foot that Judge Conkliug has long been nn intimate personal and political friend of Mr. Fillmore, by whom, when President, he waa apI .oi ii ted United Slates Minister to Mexico; and haa never before acted with any party which had for its obiuet resistance to the aggressions ol olaveiy.
