From the Indiana Dally Journal Early Indiana Trials.

RKallNlSCKNCIS BY HON. 0. H. 8M1TU. EARLY CONDITION OF INDIANA. While my mind is on Indiana, the reader will exfuse me for deferring my sketches of the House of Representatives, the Seaate, the Supreme Court, and other matters at Washington, to a more convenient season. And, as these sketches seem to bo looked upon as a part of the history of early Indiana, while 1 make on such pretentions, and refer the public to the authentic history of the State by my valued friend John 13. Dillon, Enq., State historian, I may be excused lor stating some mattors that will be only interesting to citizens of our State who would like to compare Indiana as she was, with Indiana as she is. I shall not even attempt the comparison, but leave the leader to make it for himself. At the time I came to the State in March, 1817, there was not a railroad in the United States, nor A canal west of the Alleghany mountain. The telegraph had not been discovered, fire was struck with the flint and steel, the lall i rig spark was caught in "punk" taken from the knots of the hickory tree. There was not a foot of turnpike road in the ätato, and plank roads had never been hoard of; the girdling standing trees covering tho cultivated fields, the shovel plow the only cultivator; on roads west of White Water, not a bridge in the State; the traveling all done on horseback, the husband mounted before on the saddle, with from one to throe of the youngest children in his armg the wife, with a spread cover, reaching to the tail of the horse, seated behind, with the balance of the children, unable to walk, in her lap. We younir gentlemen retainod tho luxury of a single horse; not a carriage nor buggy in all the country. After some years Mr. Lovejoy brought a buggy with a top, to Connersville, from New England. I borrowed it to ride to Wayne county, but I gavo up the buggy and took my horse for fear the people would think mo proud, and it would injure my election to Congress. The finest farms around Connersville, in oneof tho most beautiful countries in tho world, cleared, with orchards and common buildings, were $6 to $10 per acre. 1 bought the fine farm of one hundred and sixty acres, adjoining Connersvilio, the same now tho rosidonco of my friend lion. Samuel W. Parkor, of John Adair, of Brookville, fbr $9 per acre, ia ifcreaa annual inatallmanLu without interest. Tho brick two story dwell ing in which I livod when I wus olected to Congress, in tho heart of Connersville, twenty six feet front, well finished, with back kitchen, lot 2H by 180, good stable, I bought of Sydney Dalo for $325, which was considered a high price at the timo. Tho excellent farm over the river ono mile below town, in 1828, 1 bought of William Den man for $5 per acre, in payments. There was very little nionoy in the country, and produce was equally low in proportion. 1 bought tho finest qualities of stall fod boot', and corn fed hogs, for family use, at a cent and a half per pound; corn ton cents, wheat twenty flvo cents per bushel, wood delivered and cut short at the door at a dollar per cord; boarding at common houses, with lodging, from u dollar to two dollars and a half. Tho first yssr I travelled tho circuit, my foes foil short oftwohundrod dollars; and tho second, when thoy increased to three hundred, I felt as safe as Stephen Girard. All my wants were supplied, I owed nothing, and had money in my pocket. No white mnn had settled more than five miles west of Connorsville. A ii it t y. INDtAN. Tho country from Williams Creok, Payette, to tho Wabash, ono hundrod and twonty-flvo miles, wns u wilder ness, in the possession of the wandorIng tribes or Indians. Connersville was filled with them every day. Among them was a WArrlor thoy cull od John, a great talker, tolling tin most miraculous Bioriea of whui luhad done In killing beara single handed and wl .hout arms. I Inform id another Indian what John had told me "M brother John pretty mttah lit ha great coward ' It so happened that John's courage wns testad that night, Just at twilight The town was aroused by the cry of "bear,,' And sure enough along Main street ciiine loping on tie til the la I jeat black bears I have ever seen, pursued by a crowd of men and dogs, Ho had bean started out of Ute wet bushy prairie north of town. Ho cams to Crows street, turned square off to the east In tlie direction of the river, where several of us was standing, with Indian John close by. The moment John saw him he came running to oui mitsny.greatlv alarmed, sry Ing at the top ofDlsvolue- "Hear bite hardkill Indian quick, "and slid into oar center. On came the bear. JitM before he rent lied u company who had a rifle, shot bin in the head. He rolled ovor, stretched himself mil with a growl, and died. Ills hide was soon off, und next morning atbroakfast tho whole town was (Was ting on bear meat. THI LAWTIAS Of IARI.Y INDIANA. Our lawyers were what the wm i.l eall self. mails men meaning men who have not had tha advantages of rich fathers, and early education, to whom the higher seminaries and colleges were sealed books, Men gifted by nature with strong, vigorous, clear Intellects, fine health, and sound constitutions. Men who, Ilka the newly hatched swan, were directed by natura to their proper elements, their proper profession. Few Of tbem failed of success. Necessity urged to action. With most ef them it waa "root or die." In ninety-nine cases oat a every hundred of the failures ia tha diffsrsnt professions

and avocations in life, charged by the world to "bad luck, ' it Is nothing more nor less than the selection of a profession, avocation or business that nature never intended you for. The smallest teal, or duck, that swims on the bosom of tha Chesapeake Bay, would swim and drown in that clement the best blooded and finest game cock that ever old V irginia produced in her most chivalric days, while in the cockpit, the teal, or duck would be nowhere in the tight. Our counties furnished too little business for the resident attorneys; we all looked to A circuit practice. Some rode the whole circuit, and others over but few counties. We sometimes had a little sparring in our cases in trials, but it endod there, and wo stood banded together like brothera. At the Rush Circuit Court my friend Judge Perry bargained for a pony for twenty-five dollars, to be delivered tho next day, on a credit of six moths. The man came with tho ?ony, but required security of the udge for twenty-five dollars. The Judge drew the note at the top of a slfeet of foolscap and signed it. 1 signed it; J amen Karideu signed it and handed it on, and on it went from lawyer to lawyor around the bar, till some twenty of us had signed it. I then handed it up to the Court, and three Judges put their names to it- Judgo Perry presented it to the man ho had bought the pony of, but he promptly refused to receive it. "Do you think 1 urn a fool, to let you get the Court and all the lawyers on your side? I see you intend to cheat mo ont of my pony.' Up ho jumped and ran out of the Court House, mounted tho pony and tarted for home at a full gallop. Tho great variety of trials anil incidents on tho circuit gavo to the life of a traveling attorney an interest that we all relishod ojcceodinglv.

Thore was none of the green bag city monotony, no dyspepsia, no gout, no ennui, no rheumatism, or neuralgia . consumption was a stranger among us. An occasional iump of the toothache, relieved by the turnkey of the first doctor we came to, was the worst. All was fun, good humor, fine jokes well received, good appetites and sound sleeping, cheerful landlords and good nutured landla dies at tho hoad of the table. We rodo first class horses; Gen. Noble on "Wranglor," for which ho gavo $00; Drow on "Drew Gray," cost $70; Caswell on "Blue Dick," cost $05: Raridou on "Old Gray, " cost $8U: John Test on "Bay rillov, cost $00; Gen. McKinnoy on -McKinuoy Iloan,"cost $45; David Wallace on "Bull," cost $40 ; Amos Lane on -Big Sorrel," cost $00; Judge Eggleston on "Indian Ponoy," cost $86 : George H. Dunn on "Dancing Babbit,'' cost $40; James B. Kay on "Red Jacket, cost $60; Martin M. Kay on "John," cost $35; William K. Morris on "Jacob," cost $50 ; Charlos 11. Test on "Archie," cost $40 ; John 8. Newman on "Clay Bank," cost $60 and I rode "Groy Fox," that cost me $!K). Those wore the highest prices at that day for tho very best traveling horses in the country. Thoy were trained to the cross pole and mini roads, and were all good swimmers. Our uttorneys were roady off hand practitioners, seldom at fault for tho occasion. Sometimes wo had to meet attorneys from othor States, who would tling in the Latin and technical terms with a triumphant air, but in most cases thoy wero foiled by quick retorts of our bar I have named (Jen. Noble as at the head of our sharp shooters, but he was not alone, there were a few others of the same sort. noo ANI DAM AO KS. On one occasion an action on the case had been brought by a learn od nttornoy from Ohio, who is nameless, as ho Is still living, ugninst nn old widow Indy damages claimed, twenty dollars. !t appeared in evidence Hi it the old lady had a beautiful daughter, that the deletidant was at that tune paving his suit to One tlnrk night the plaintiff put on his new, white, Irish linen suit, tine ruf fled shirt, white silk gloves, his white stockings and moroceo shoes, and his tune In bund he stepped up In the house of the old lady, and knocked at the door.

INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 4,

UTTKK FROM FRANCIS ORABMUCX Tcn-MSRH, Kanuas Territory, I Augus 12th, 157. Mr. Goodwin: Ii is a feeling of my heart that I cannot forget old

friends neighbors and acquaintances. that hve men - oiuior oi t-oinpaci I like to see them again; 1 love them, j Infantry had done the ad. I could and I love to hear" from them, and prove all by witnesses except their therefore I continued my papers iron, names, be. uusc they were all soldierBrookville in Kansas Territory. For j and strangers, and they are all dressseveral years before I lea I felt more ' ed alike. I complained to the propenol toward the Democratic party er officers, but without ehect. Now

than formerly, and I think T had good reason for it; but whilo 1 was here in this Territory, and being here at the oarliest time, and having seon the beginning and actions of the parties ever since, and as I was living in Missouri for a short time before I i ' r- j a vv eaaei ww w moved into the Territory, I arti flwiiliar with the causes and eireumstaticc iar with the cause and t in uniMtaTiees of all our difficulties, and when 1 noticed that the Democratic party acted with the administration, and the administration acting with the Border Ruffians, and the Border Ruffians doing every thing out hero to disfran chise all the Free State settlers, and if possible to drive us out of the Territory; to destroy the good feelings of this Union; for tho purpose to establish slavery whoro it has no business, and all over the land, I could not help talking and writing about it. My object was to explain our situation, and set our old Democratic friends and neighbors right, and on sound truth, but I believe still yet that our cause and trouble in oar Territory is very little understood by the people at large in the States. I see that as woll in private letters as in newspapers, wo were often told to vote, and to uso our large majority on the ballot box, and wo consented and agreed at our Topoka convention to doit, and made preparations for it. Our Governor Walker and diplomat and political Tallorand said wo would have a fair chance, nut tho r reo Mate people find now that, out of this bad r r. m A- 1 . pro-slaver' officer, no good is to bo expected. Tho consus and apportion ment is so badly arranged that wc sco tho old fraud and cheat repeated everywhere. Tho census taken by tho rroe State government will show ten Free State men to one pro-slavery man, and I beliove it is true. Now what can and what shall bo dono? Wc have kept our temper now long enough. Wc made petition to'm gross again and again. Wc will not do it any more. We do now demand our liberty, and are ready to take it by all means. Gov. VVnlkor is in discredit with both parties, and poopie say he is drinking hard. To give vou some idea how Olir Democratic (rovernment officers act out here I will givo you some facta. Lust fall, in 1856, I was summoned by the 1'nttcd States Deputy Marshal to attend tho Court at Tccuniseh. I attended the Court, as every good citizen should do. If 1 had refused, I would have been called a rebel and an abolitionit. I found there in Court L'l petit jurymen, of which 21 wero pro -slave

a st r . a challenged out, according to Democratic pro-slavery law. I al tended Court nine duys, and alter tho Court adjourned, 1 received apiece of paper, purtly printed, us follows, to-wit: "I'nited Statos of America, Territory o! Kansas, second Judicial District. SS District Court in and for the sec oud Judicial District, November term, A. D. lHOh. I herein eerlily that Francis (irnsmm-k Iiiih upon bis l r I oath proved his ul tendance as a Petit Juror on the part of the I'nited States at the November term of suid Court, and is entitled to 118:10 Iff for his services, at nine days at tend ante, 12 per tiny, and two miles ira el to and from court, live cents per mile, 10 cents Totnl, Als in. Chas. Hullook, Clerk." The new settlors are generally poor of money, ami so am I, ami have done my best to be mild for my Court service, but without effect. I nave tried every store In town, nro slavery nnd Free State, to pass off said paper lbr 7& cents on the dollar, and to take stu b provision for it as we are in want of, bul uith out success. That, will show bow the settlers are swindled and dein ed.and bow the Culled States' credit stund i aofar. And now there comes Seen lar Stanton, right iVotn Wiislilngton, mat riietetl by rreaitleiil Htn haniin, and Sayn to us, .you must j.iiy your nixes, ami oIm iiieliogus laws, am If mi don t, wc m ill collect it, and enforce litem, Ac .

our nice young cow was killed prooably by the United States soldiers, who took all the meat but the head. I oxaminud into t lie mattei . and found you will um (erstand that the Border iiuffians have done much damage burnt house, stolen horses, Ac, &c, ami then et.ines the I'nited States Court, uses our services to suppress the Free State patriotic men lor üglit intr the Missouri invaders; gives us a worthless piece of paper tor pay; and 1 then conic theeo L lilted States oidicrs lor the purpose of prcserving law and order, and they steal all our potatoes and garden things in the neighborhood, and kill the very heifer left by tin other ruffians; , und t conclude now comes Gov. Walker tt Co., and say wo must pay tho bogtin officers and Legislature wdiich has bro't all these miseries upon us. Is not that strange ? It is bud enough, but so it is. It looks to mo as if the officers of long standing had assumed u Sower dangerous to all the country. lut after all, the Free State party in the Territory stands well united, well organized, and a great majority, and willing to act when time and cirumstunccs require it. Tbesun oi Liberty will rise tigain. and we begin to see tho light of it already. Slavery, Tyranny ami Fraud will disappear from us again. Our cattle will graze undisturbedly on the rich praries. The intention to make Kansas Territory a Slavo State bus gone by, but we have another enemy the Democrats, betöre us, they intend div iding us, und start a Democratic party. They intend to mako us pay the expenses of the Missouri bogus Legis T.a .!.. '.. 1". ....... - hitorsbv taxation. W 0 had lonnergy ly no parties or citizens calling themselves Black KepabHoana or Black Iremocrats, but lately since Gov. Walker camo amongst us. and now sometimes we see and hear one calling himself a free State Democrat, and whenever such an individual makes his appearance, people look at him from head to foot; some smile at him, and some think that he is green, and a late emigrant. Amongst tho Democratic papers I can sec here is the Cincinnati Knouirer, which Is forward ed to me by an old Democratic lrietid in Brookville In this very paper I huve seen a certain editorial, published lust summer, whit b sa s no botlv was ever wronged in Kansas, and no body ever lost any thing there, while. at the same time, the bogus Wepresuntative of bansus.
