THE KAILUOin-niAXCG OF PROGRAMME. We announced in tho Inst iMue of the American that poMcrger cor would commenco ronrinr on our Jluilroad from Slack Water lum about Iho 8 1 of January. Such was tho design at that time; but nine, owin to the ropid progress which hu been mndu in the work, it lies been decided not to place passenger car on the road until tho track U completed to Urookvillc. At tho time of writing, (Wednesday niht,) the brido over Little Cedur up, and .the'raiia laid a tew hundred feet on this ido of i. From that point to Hnx.kvillo the gradinfj in completed, llw tic, on tho ground, and tho 'rait will be laid a fut Hi I'ocaibh'j Should the weather bo ruasonubly favoruhlo, the cars will certainly run to tho F.at Fork by Satuid.y, 13:h itiPt. An Engine Hoobo is being erected, ond regular passenger train will cemmenco running from here on Monday, 22J int. It would bo well for thono who made donations to aid in tho construction of the road, to remember that tbo note given for tho same wero mffdo payable 4,as Eoon an tbo cars run to or near the Hut Fork of Whiro Water at Brookville."

No time should be loC by farmer, merchants, mechanic-, and business men generally, in balancing thoir books, footing up their account, and fO arranging matters as that their income return for tho year 1805 may bo made not only intelligibly to the proper officerbat also satieftctory to themselves. It i too often tho cao that parties I'tablo to an assessment neglect to make the mot common and necessary C.hIcu lations, and oven appojr bforo tho Assessor without any memoranda what ever, trusting, in many instance, to a defective memory to supply tho most essential facts. Thh prectiuo cannot be too highly reprehended, producing, as il does, deta-, annoyance and crrois innumerable. A each one must swear to the correctness tf hi return, ho should see that he can do bo with reasonable exactness at least. As tho Annual Assessment is to be trade on or before the first day of Miy, JSCS, an opinion piivail to somecx'.ent that the assessment of incomo ii to be estimated on the year ending on said day. Such is not the f ct. The csti mato will to made on tho year ending December 31tl, 18C3 F-rmcrs thould at once make obi a detniicd statement cf tho quantity, description and valao of Agricultural Products and Live Stock add during said year, and also of the estimate value of amount of agricultural producU-consumcd by eath.pcreon In family, by.the laborers employed, and by the animals kept for p!cnuro.

Our exchange show tho gratifying fact that tho caaso cf tcmpcrunco is receiving a now impetus in all sections of tho State. It hat been languishing for somo time, owing to tho late tcrriblo civil war having monopolised the at tention cf tho people, but as the old order f things is being restored, it affords satisfaction to obscrvo that tho great vice of the day is to bo subjected to the susaultof tho moralist and the christian. The young men of IJushville have organized a Temperance Socicly, elected officer, and subscribed their names to tho following pledge, which they prom. io shall bo rigorously enforced: "Wo the undersigned do pledgo our tror.Z and sacred honor that we. will abstain from the use, a a bevcrgo, of all intoxicating Liquors, for a period of one year. The violation of this pledge; by any member or member, will be pun ished with expuUion and tho publication tf their names in each of the county papers." We commend4ho abovo actioi. to the attention of the young men cf Brookville. TEXXT WISE AND POUND FOOLISH This old English adage has lately been verified io our neighboring town of New Trenton. Thilip Wiwi gave receipt in a settlement with a customer for oter t20, and stoutly refusing to pit a revenue stamp of two cents upon the receipt, although bo knew it to bo necessary to do so, and was repeatedly warned of the consequences. The receipt finally turned up in tbo hands of tho U. S. Attorney for the District ct Indiana. The offen so against the law was so glaring that Wiwi could do noth ing better than to enter a plea of 'guilty," ond the fine, cost and expenses amounted to over ono handrod dollars. Wiwi himself is not naturally a bad man, but tho advice of somo of his coppetbead friends led him into this error. Obedience to the law ij the only safe rule of action in theso casca. Let others profit by this example. A New Volume.

EDITOB, Christmas passed hero gloomily, so far a weather is concerned. For two days previously there had been snow and rain uniting tomako mud, and on Christmas day a very thick fjg onvelopcd tbo city so completely that sometimes it was difficult to recognize a friend across tho street. Thero is but little departure yet from the gloomy and uncomf jrtablo weather. Mud prevails. Almost everybody stays at homo un let's business cr other necessity calls out. 1 find that Christmas day is more closely observed here as a holiday than in the West. Business of all kinds is suspended. Tho good peoplo go to church, the bad go to grog shop, and the half und half, go to both place, or neither; but all meet on common ground around the turkeys. Whether the en joyment of tho forenoon havo Icon spiritual or spirituous, tho meeting at tho turkey. I nqaent is" well attfnded,and the post mortem merits of tho dead are more discussed than tho virtues of his lifo, or tho accident of hi death. Thero is no symyathy manifested for hi surviving friends, for appearances hero indicuto rhu tho entiro family suffered violcnco for ibis occasion, leaving no surviving friend. As an evidence of tho esteem the fowl is held in for Christmas it is only necessary to say that gocd goblers held themselves for the occasion worth six dollars. These had to bo provided some day or days beforo Christmos,usthe day is so strictly kept as a holiday that there is no market, or other traffic on that duy, New Year day is kept an a holiday, bat in another form. As Christmas is kept at homo and mudo memorable by tbo dinner, so New Year day is kept abroad. On that day the distinguished citiicns, Heads of Departments, and especially the President keep '''open housos" for the reception of their friends who take occasion to call in great numbers. This then is mado tho occasion of general circulation; and people, like cur rency, circulate for what they are worth, none however of a demonination so small that it cannot circulate, and that too with the larger. For the purpose cf circulation therefore it is as good to be a little green-back as a big green-back. So much for Republicanism in the metropolis of this great Domocratio Republican nation. Congress hasa recessovcr tho holidays and most of the members have gono homo. It is well that tho recess was tak.on. Tho members of Congress met, got slightly acquainted, had an exchange of sentiment on somo questions. that are to bo discussed and acted on, formed committees, gave them work to think over and then took rcces. A few thing they should have done before they adjoarnsd were left nndone, but as it is not expected that tbey will do all they should do, so it is allowable that they should have failed in doing their wholo duty in this beginning. One thing they did'nt do, and that was thoy did'nt admit to our National council members from tho South whoso unwashed hands are yet crimson with tho blood of our brave Union soldiers, and whoso hearts are yet black with treason. Thero aro threo parties developed in Congress. The Democrats who buvo been friends to the rebel., all through, would with Open arms receive the meanest of them into Congress. Tbey would not forgivo them, however, for they think they have not been guilty of any sin. This party i small, and will grow charmingly less if tbey do not stop their fawning bog-

your-pqrdon policy toward the rebels, A second party composed of extremely radical republicans is led by Sumner in tho Scnaloard Stevens in tho llouso. Threo contend thnt by secession the Southern Slutc cut themselves so thoroughly looo from Constitutional mooring that they can not now claim any rights r.s Statt 8 under tho Constilntion, but only hold tho relation to tho Union that conquered provinces hold, and can only bo restored as territories by admission at tho pleasure of' Congress. This theory involve diflicullies. If it is cor net, then tho armies ;f tho South,' its leader and all conccrticd were heiliger ents, and aro entitled to nil tho riyhtsof revolutionist nnd belligerents. Therefore Jt iT. Davis end ull his crow ore improperly held, nnd on thi theory should ho speedily reloasrd, in fact, never shculd havo been held. On thi thoory too,our President, being from Tennessee, which by scecjwton became a foreign State, 'is futi properly a citizen cf tho United Slnt'S.. Thi theory, however ably advocated, 's not popular, 'fho third party, made up of the Loy nl, Conservative Republican hold that tho pretended nets of secession, never cnrriid ft Sirvto out of the UnionThe whole proceeding was troaHon by attcmptitg to carry the Stute out cf the Union, und i.)l concerned in that treufion nro truilorH, and that they should bo dealt with us trailers. This patty will flirlltr nWii'.tlaio lli-t ull tho Suites uro in the Union t.nd havo been ulltho lin-O. They are r.s much eMit.'el to reprcen tution in Congress us ever thoy were, when they show lb:;t treason m eo fur purged from the peoplo that they will cnd these who have not been guilty of treuen as rcjUSitiiaiiwp. CongcR has always hud no undoubted right to expel members when guilty, ol crimes even against its own d'gnity and tho constituency thu represented must go unrepresented, until they would sond a man to represtnt them adjudged worthy. So now CngiiHS hold tho riht to keep constituency or constituencies unrepresented until they can send men n representative who do not mther need hanging under Iho Corstitution for tm.Kon than feats in Ct gress. Thi is the theory upen which tho mnjority of Congress will act, and upon which tho machinery of the Union will eguin be put in motion. Il nn.v move somewhat slowly, bit in the end it will bo recognized by loyal men of nil pnrtics a th. only safe and just principle (Taction. The question of how much tho Southern peoplo desire to bo represented In Congress by loyal mm ond bo themelve loyal ?or in, plain langntge how much thoy dro behave themselves, i a question now under discussion, and S thi letter long encash I will aay something about the development on that question nt it week.

Baltimore, Dec 29 The State Colored Convention, of M iryland, met hero to day and passed resolutions to solicit aid to rebuild peven colored churches, burned in this State by rebels and malicious persons Resolution in regard to the death of President Lincoln wero also passed, including the following: Be it fiesolved, That the exalted public and privato thsTncfcr of tho late President, his freedom from selfish ambition, his fear of God, hi devotion to the eternal principles of Irbcrty and justico, his unsurpassed wisdom and tno magnanimity which ho ovinco'd in carrying out tho principles of republican govcrnmcnt, will cause hi memory to be cherished with love and reverence by u as a pooplo until tho end oftimo. An advisatory address to tho colored citizens of Maryland was eddied, containtng the following: Wo would th'croforo advise you, first, to fuel that yon are free, ind dependent upon yourselves for support. Second. Wo advise you to become men of virtu otish ibit, disdaining to do anything beneath the dignity ot men. . Third. W udviso you to bo Indus trious in all tho pursuit of life.

Currt'.poo Jdo ot Lh Indians Ainertem LETTER FROM REV. W. W. HIBBEN'. ins LUNATIC ASYLUM." Mr Editor. Ahl in the Asylum, aro you? Yes, hero I am on. this happy, beautiful Christmas morning. This In slitution is ono cf the three Asylums which uro certainly an honor to tho Stato. As 1 havo the honor of being one of the five Trustees who helped to dcViso tho plan of theso Institutions in tho year 1813, I frei that I havo some humble relationship to them,1 which lead me oico in a while to visit, more particularly and p-rhups properly, tho Lunatic Asylum. For hero I have a number of ocquainlnnces and old friends for whom I fei I a ono feel for kindred nfilrtitie. A your readers , havo, no doubt.ofton hoard from thi Institution, there i no necessity of moro than merely, alluding to its pat hMory. TtiO present Superintendent i.W. Lot.lhatt, M. D, ft very respectable locking aid ao'-iul gentleman, wilh whom I had not tho plcastiro of forming any Hpcctal acquaintance, a thoD'ttnr ond his family on yesterday, wb'ch wa iho Sabbath, attended tho Christian Citurch ill tho (ity, Of which I learn they aro member. Through the politenes rf Col. Win M Frei h, I w;-s Invited to occupy the pulpit of the Asy lum chapel in the morning and evening of tho Sabbath, whero I had tho honor and pleasuro cf preoching to' such of the putienls as are permitted to utUnd publio services. Mis. Dr. Cravens presided at the molodeon and load tho music, which was far superior to that which wo often hear in many of our Churches. Tho audience, rf course, was composed of poor unfortunates those whoso intcl b ets wero more or less in astateof wreck But they sung with good time and in harmony, and then listened to the sermon wilh an interest and feeling which showed sea rely any sign of mental dorangement. Indeed, the interest muni tested by them iu heariig a crnion, would be a crolit to rony audiences that do not profess to bo crszy at all. 'The service ut niyht were still more interesting thun in ".he morning, and the audience much Urger, Dr. Lockhart, the Superentetident, was present with hi family ,an! tho singing as conducted by Mrs. Dr Cravens was such as to plena 'all who were present. Tho mVcrs rf i fit I tit-1 it ut ion certainly merit tho h'gh iinpect of the public for the system and good order whicu uro so thoroughly carried out In every part of the e'.atiiihineiit. Dr. Cravens ha been connected with the Hospital ts first assistant Surgeon f it a number of jears, under Dr. Wood bum, snd now under Dr. Lttkhrt. Hi admirable qualifications fur the po. sition, tegetber with his constant und benevolent attention to the patients, mako him an essential officer in the In stitution. Cot. French is the Steward of the 11 spital, and whilo bo performs all of In duties with the regularity cd a Clerk, he often serves us Chaplain, preparing himself wilh well written ser mona whicb are delivered to his peculiar and unfortunate uudienco with u fervor and zeal worthy oil any uudienco. The Cul. is an active and energetic man, and fill his placo with that kind of fjithfulnosa which will novor hi excelled, pcrhupH, by any inun who in y como alitr him. Ho wns'o no tim and often writes when others tdeep. His popular I i to of G.iV. Moron, attest this fact, nnd, by tho way, ho is now about ready to publish u new edition to this work.s tho old and first c lili oil, has all been.Hold months go. Mrs. Gov. Bigger, I find, is still here and tho best matron, perhup, tho es tablishmeht bus ever had. She is the right woman in the right place And though somewhat advanced in years she seems as young, active snd cheerful as when twenty years ago she did the honors of the Gubernatorial Mansion. The patients all love her a a Mother, and her influence over them is such tba: it is but seldom sbo has any trouble with a single ono. Mr. French, Mrs. Dr. Cravens and Mts. Lockhart, all contribute cheerfully and affectionately in ass'n-ting tho matron, in making the condition of the pa. ticuts as toleruble and pleasant as possible. I find In tho Hospital, many bora 1 havo met and known in different parts of rbe State formerly members of some of tho best fmilioof tho State. Icould not but feel sad, to meet among tho most deeply s dieted patients, n daughter ot the lumtnttd Gen. HutkUman. Her case is a severe one, and tho probabilities aro tin t she is incurable. Insanity i a most tcrriblo disease, and loudiy calls for tho heart sympathies ol tho citizens tf the whole land. Some 'uf tho patients, it is true, appear lively and full of fun, but then their cases are yet surely unfortunato.and pity should shod for thorn tho tendcrest tears.

The Hospital, as large a it is, will not contain half of tbo insane of tho Stute; and I confrss, I was greatly astonished to Ictirn from Dr.Lockbart,that more than five hundred insane persons are confined in J i!s and other localities, in different parts of the State, thero being no room for ihcm hero. Tho Legislature, at its !at session just closed. I learn, has made an appropriation of 25,000, for an additional building, but it will require three times that amoanUo meet the demands of those now needing such an Asylum. Tho fuel is, wo havenoAiylutn for tho hopelessly insane. This is only a Hospital for the temporary residencoxTf such as aro sup. posed to be curablo. Mony come and gu during the year, and many oro sent uway to their friends, who have no suitable placo to keep thero, who should be provided for by the intelPgcnce and liberality of the Stato. Tho groat wealth cf Indiana should make ample provision fiXJjsj, the rii stjinfor tun trio clas cf our ciiiziMi-hip; for no one knows how soon he may be hero himself.
