A tpethl ission of the Board of Comn!3ioner convened on Wednesday roomng, December S6th, 18C6, for tie purpose of reconsidering the action Lad at the late term in reference to the com true tion of a Ihn aar M eta mora. After having the Tnittcr under iiTisement, it rtt ordered that fhe action, taten at the December ee?aion, 1?CC, me.

Trembly, the Superintendent, be instructed to repert hie proceedings at the March session, 1807." ANOTHER LEAK. Among the account presented to the . Commiseioners at their laat regular icssion, Wis one by Lewis Feddermaa for the nam of $103 04 for Groceries, Ac, furnished the, Poor of Brookville Township from September, 1666, to date. The same was approved bj Mr. S. S. Harrell, Township Trotte, and allowed bj the Board. We were prevent when thia account was prevented, and were informed by one of the Commissioners that it was email in comparison with 'previous ones. To show how the people's monej is spent within sight of the Poor Asylum, we inStaoce a few items contained in said accoast: Daring the month of September, one woman, Mrs. J., received goods to the amount of Sil 85; in October, 10 66; in November, $11 12; and daring the first eight dare in December, $7 45. Mr. 8. received in September goods to the amount cf 112 64; in October, $11 43; in November, $1079; and daring the first eight dsjs in December, $4 97. ; A prominent Democrat who has an income cf from three to four thousand dollara per annum, and who examined thia second in oar presence, remarked that Lie purchases of Groceries during said time were leoa than the same above indicated, . . , . ' REBELLION AND CIVIL WAR. It ia an old adage that children and fools speak the truth; and although we are far from intimating that the individual who runs the Cambridge Mirror should be elaased in either of these subdivisions of the human fanjilj, yet his utterances, honest and p!ain-fpoken aa ihef are, might bet be expected tu emanate from older and more experienced politicians. It will be aeeq by the brief eitract which we present tVelow, that the Mirrur not only counsels a resort to the bayonet as a means of settling our political difference an appeal from the ballot to the balletbut also accuses Mr. Johnson with being guilty of the crime vf perjury, because Le does not inaugurate civil wir.

Westum Mirror. HARD, BUT TRUE. Slowly bat surely tho people of the South are fl tiding out the true rsluo of their, would-be ehampiona aud apologists at the North. The following hit at the Democratic Party, which we clip fiora tho Ititkaoud (Va .) Dispatch, is no leas truthful than historical : Willthey fight? Not they. They humlodged thtSout't before the late war with the idea that they were as staunch State lights men aa Yancey; but when the war fcin aouoded, they got them into caves and hole, with tbe wolves and bata.

It propounds tho fol lowing pertinent interrogatories: What will Mr. Garrett Davis say? What will Mr. Alexander. LI. Stephens eay? What will Raphael Semmes, Moral. Philosopher, ssy? The Democratic party in a Ward in Boston, Massachusetts, has voted for a colored Common Councilman 1 What are we cönubg to? Is not this a world ox mm, unesimns, , ana peculiar 1 . . A f T t V shin-bones? Hare we not bcn carefully taught that the colored men were of the Simian family, and not of the Human? Have we not been pathetically and conclusively asked whether we wished to have our daughters marry sable husband.? Have we not been sarcastically entreated to say whether white men had any rights in tLis country? And now the Southern brethren, who have alwaya insisted that Canaan was cursed, and that tho colored raco was Canaan,, and nave been most faithfully sustained in that ennobling faith by the Northern Democracy, behold their allies deliberately casting their votes for a colored candidate for municipal honors!! .'...-.

OnDif, That the two fledgling candidates for nomination as Democratic Candidate for Clerk are terribly agitated and alarmed over the prospect of a formidable rival in the person of a prominent citizen, of Highland Township. It is. said that one of them was heard to remark, " the Dutch! they will never be satisfied until they get all the offices in the County. A Scandalous Imputation. A late number of tbxp Indianapolis Herald contained an article headed "The So cial Evil, ' in which charges were made affecting the moral purity 6T some of the most prominent citizens of Sbclbyville.The Journal cf the 25th ult. thus refers to the matter: ' Thi Suilbyyille Scasdal. We are informed that one of the parties named by implication in tbo infamous scandal published in the Herald of Monday, as rifo in Shelbyville, was in the city on Wednesday, and called upon the Herald company. He was promised a full and free retrac tion. He deniea the semblance of truth in the 6tery, and reports a high state of feeling m Shelbyville, induced by the publication. The parties 'concerned are among the most influential and honored citisens of that town. The coarse of the Herald in defaming private character cannot be too strongly condemned. The Osgood Times. - We have received No. 2 of vol. 1 of the Osgood Times, a weekly newspaper published at Osgood, IlipleyCo., Ind. .

Springfield, Ikd, Jan. 5, 1867. Editors of the Arne Dear Sir : As Nve nothing psrticular to occupy my cnt, I thought tl V and time at pres old not spend i to better aavan tage than by wrij hoping that I may. a tow lines to you, harm, if I do no good. Springfield is l Ja small village, yet thoro ii a good busiUss carried on here by Adams and Bro. in Abe line of dry goods, groceiies, &c. Our people are all gay and hsprT. and BecmivHyin good spirits, with the exception of a furv who got their ideas up a little too high an regard to the price of live stock, such is swine, and conse quently were badly disappointed. Christmas and Nw Year's passed by very pleasantly-indiall seemed to enjoy themselves very much. The Concert that was given by the Springfield Sabbath School on Thursday eve arter Christmas, fuuuer luu uinpsvmaotcTItretiani O'JJvrne rnij., passea 9a in goou scyie, ana aitnougn on a very cold evening, was well attended. Th exercises and entertainment generally was very good, and the Sabbath School can well rejoice and feel proud over their success. Hut, Mr. Editor, I have written enough for this time, so I will stop. Respectfully, - II, J. For tba American. STOCK AT LARGE. Mr. Editor,! will not undertako to ssy whether tbe Commissioners, in regulating by ofder what stock shall be permitted to run at large in your Township, exceeded their authority, or acted wisely, but tho discussion of the subject by "Justice," in your last issuo, suggests a question to my mind which I cannot answer as some others may: "what right has any man to the public bighwsy, as a pasture for his stock?" I snewer, no such right exists. The roads have been taken from the owners of the soil for purposes of travel, and are not the property of tho1 public even, for any other purpose. They may be, and are, put to other uses the thing is allowed; but no man can show the shadow of a right for'such-use. Strange as it may sound, yet the highways do not belong to Mr. E, or Mr. B, forgrszing purposes, any more than they do to anybody else; although their continued uko of them would eeem to imply a preemptive right. When a highway is changed or closed, the stock of these presuming gentry must go somewhere elto to graze, as the soil reverts to its original owners. If this view of the case be correct, what right has any man to Complain, when told his stock must '0 to gras' somewhere dec than the roadside? that tho people Want the Highways for traveling, snd will not have them usecf o a pasture lot for the unruly stock of thriftless owners? for, as a general rule, I have found the owners of this character, where the roads were depended on for stock range. Good farmers and careful poor men take better care of their stock than to al low it to range at will over" tho country, at the risk of being astray when wanted. I know there is a different class of rucn, and often clever, easy fellows at that, but few wise men would choose them as guides in the management of farm or stock. Personally 1 would not object to others pasturing the highways, under proper restrictions, though, I confess, I do not know what these are. I know It is a nuisance, which should betpecdily abated, to havo the bright, green, grassy walk on either aide of the highway, rooted and ruined for Toars, by the unrun?. enouted gentry belonging to neighbor C, over the way, who believes in- barsbare stock that make the roads like a plowed field, and fill the side drains, and ruin them faster than Ids more careful neighbors made them; and who believes, not only in feeding hi hogs in the .road, but every hoof he owns, that will not run off; educating them to become so shrewd in taking care of themselves, that they will open the neighbors' gates and bars with great dexterity, btenling all outside, aud then taking an occasional nip of the reserved rights' inside. Ringing the hogs would be good as far as it weut, but just here is the rub: The careless man, who owns all the outside pnsture, is the very follow whowoiit ring his hog?; and if he did, the chances are it wouldn't bo half done, or done half the time. However, I am willing to see it tried, and yoking the unruly cattlo too, which have trespassed on my fields and patience until L havo. w ahji.1'or tbo Ohio stock law; - and, by the way, I beliovo our next Legislature could not render the agriculturalists of this State a better service, than by tho enactment of a similar law. I find my neighbors thinking and talk-1 mg on toe suojeei, ana we uve in an age when the people seem lo care very littlo for old notions and practices, when they think a ttcp forward bhould be takej. , ; .

American Ar While sojourning in your town during) o Holidays, attcuding the Instituto, I) cnt a very pleapant wcck; and I hop profitable one too. I was a littlo surprised, upon inquiring at the hotel, to find that very little preparation had been made for the accommodation of the Teachers attending the Institute. The fault lies somewhere, but I am not rrnred to sav with whom. I need I r - not complain for myself, aa by the kindness cf Prof. J. II. Martin, President cf Brookville Collece, I was invited to par take of the hospitality of his house Here I formed the acquaintance oi airs M., the amiable hostess, whise aUable manners soon Mtisfiod rae that I was at borne. May the live long to grace the circle of friends that will cluster around her. I was much pleased with the locality and surroundings of the Collego With-

nan'ia,ftver, thins "pveartd to be well adapted Ü'ical to'the conveni-iuco ani coairt of tbe

dents. An institution headed by such eminent talent, must and will become pop

ular. Prof. Martin, although considered a very tall man from tbe ground up, ranks still higher in mental qualities, and was fitly chosen for the" position. A lew mo ments in tbe company of 1 rot. John satisfied me, that although young, ho is a man of rare ability, & correct colculator, and & complete mathematician. I also formed the acquaintance of Prof. Crouch, a member of the Faculty, and a man who bids fair to rank bit?h as a nonular and successful educator. The modest worth of Prof. C. becomes rooro prominent from acquaintance, and his mental qualifications shine with a brighter lustre as his natural diffidence wears away. 1 was pleased to take by the hand the Pastor of the Brookville M. E. Church. I found in tho Rev. Chas. Tinsley, not that stiff, ceremonious kind of a minister, vhose religion has more of. the repulsive than the attractive, but a frank, free, and (if I am a competent judge) an honest Christian. The professional talent of Tinsley is of the first water;' earnest in his devotion, charitable in his views, he is a man I much admire. I would be glad to have him located in Laurel.' ' v I must stop writing, lest I weary you with a long letter. Thanking you for pa6t favors, I remain Yours truly, CnAnLts Petersox, Sup't of Laurel Academy. LETTER FROM MINNESOTA. Special Correspondence of tbe American. Anoka, Minn, Dec. 18, 18GG. Dear American, Your familiar faco has at last made its welcome appearance again on my table, after many weeks' absence. And looking over your' columns, it is difficult to realize that jou must travel six hundred miles to make your weekly visits. The account you givo of men and things in tho region where most of my life has been spent, is so natural and lifelike, I seem to be again among the beautiful hills of White Water. ' But a glance out of the window over tho broad Mississippi on one side, or over the interminable prairie on the other, soon recalls the fact that this is Minnesota and not Indiana. Indiana is a good place to move away from. But, dear American, how is it that you gather up no "news by the way? Are you interested in no place but Brookville? Has even Chicago no attractions for you as you pass by? Or do you take a sleeping car, and como through with closed eyes and ears? Or is it impossible to make an impression upon you? Perhaps you go upon the principloof minding your own business, and letting other fglks' alone. At any rate, it is charitable to assume the best motive; and this much must be said, that you usually go direct to your destination, and convey the precise information with which you arc intrusted. Yflll HflV. flmnncv nllior inlrict!niT itnmi that "Hilly" is now Professor Goodwin, of liloomtngton, III. Well, I rejoice at his promotion, and wish him abundant success. He is a live man, and he has the happy faculty cf seeing usually the,bright side. In writing, he does not trouble the reader with tedious circumlocution, but goes directly to the point. For instance, the miserable affectation of "your corrctpondent'l i replaced by the pronoun, first person, singular, as it should be by every one who ia not afraid to stand responsible for what he says4 But I have one piece of advice, maybe two, for Brother Goodwin, the Professor: 1st," As he lives in aland where game abounds, he should not handle a gun until he has learned to shoot; 2d, The temptation may bo strong, but when he goes out in the country to his Sunday appointments, he had better leave his double-barreled shot-gun at home. It was somewhere in that region that the naughty natives fined Ilia Honor, Sir William Russell, for shooting prairie chickens on the Sabbath. A wo'rd in season. A, Minnesota winter, judging by the portion of the season that has already' passed, is rather a pleasant institution. It is J colder here than with you, noxloubt, nnd yet more agreeable. Ä On the last day of November the thermometer marked six degrees below zero, and yet the ladies were out callingTariously over the town. The Mississippi has been frozen over some weeks, and yet the weather is not cold enongh to bring overcoats into requisition. Building operations aro not yet suspended. About the 8th of November a large frame building was begun near the Public Square, nnd on the second Sabbath in December the Congregational Church occupied the upper story, a commodious hall, finished in good 6tylo, except that it had but one coat of plastering. The fact is, the ntmosphero in this country is eo much dryer than in Indiana that tho same degree of cold is much easier to boar. With tho mercury at zero, and the air still, ns it is in ott of tli9 time, it is not unpleasant to be out of doors all day. It is the dryness of the atmosphero that makes it so healthy in this region. One of your correspondents traveling this way a vor or two ao, ventured to surest thut there was moro oxygen in the air here than lurtner south I And it dry air is more wholesome than damp or moist air. hat is the advantage of keeping water on the stoves in school-rooms and offices dur ing winter? St ch an arrangement keeps tho air damp, &ul is thereforo positively ficrnicions. The dampness acts injuriousy upon tho skin, and still rooro 60 upon tho umeous membrane of the throat and lungs, inducing debility and eiposing to violent colds. Throw away tho cups and crocks ott your stoves: throw away your stoves, too, if you can, and use a fire-place. But if that bo impracticable, let in a little air constantly here and there about your windows, have ventilation always going on, and keep the air in the room as pure and dry as possible. ClVls Mr a The Uistrict ouuracre bill which was pas.ced in . the Senate Monday over the President's veto by 29 to 10, went through the same process in the House on Tuesday by the decisive vote of 113 to S3, and is now a law. A caucui of the Republican members of the Houte of Representatives was held on Saturdsy night, for the purpose of determining the sction of the party in relation to the impeachment question. After full discussion it was decided that Mr, Ashley's resolution, when presented, and all others of tho same purport, shall be referred to the Judiciary Committee, and shall not pass the House until two-thirds

CONGRESSIONAL. A joint resolution was submitted to the House, on Thursday," 3d inst, providing for four territorial governments for the State of Texas, to be called Brazonia, Bravo, Sabine and Lincoln tobe organized on the principle of other Territories: the public land of the State to be declared property of the United States. The Congressmen of the New Orleans excursion party returned to Washington

The bill repealing the section of the confiscation law which' conferred-on the President the power to grant amnesty for rebellion, passed the Senate on the 4th inst., and having . previously passed the House, goes to the President for his approval. "f Tbe Arkansas, delegation called-" on Thad. Stevens on Saturday. He received them politely, but not with much cordiality. During tho interview he asked many questions of his visiters calculated to develop their sentiments and feelings, and those of the people of their State and section. He asked if they had seen his enabling act. and supplied them with a copy, advising them to consider it, as it would be the policy adopted by Congress toward tho late Confederate States. "At least," he said, "it is the policy I shall support." The President returned to the Senate, on Mouday, the District Suffrage bill, with his objections. The Senate immediately repassed the bill by a vote of twenty-nine to ten nine more than the constitutional majority. . .. '.- - Mr. Ashley's resolutions, reciting certain charges against the President, and directing the Judiciary Committee .to investigate them, with a view to impeachment, were introduced in the House, forced to a vote under tbfc previous question, and adopted, 108 to 42 seven Republicans voting against, and one Democrat (Chanler, of New York,) for them.

E prro a or th Amtiic, In your paper of Doo. 28th, 1806,1 Had a aarLT over the name of T. T. Smith to my card and ccrtiHi'Ate of the same date. Ia this itnT Smith adails that he "said one thing that bo ought not to hate tail!," which called furth from ine some rely that did not precisely suit bin; thereupon he (iutitb) 'retaliated 'whereupon he gets up a petition to prove a thirty that nobody denies, as Fie at it flor.a." Now how fardoos it go? Why jiit thia fr.that aome of the best men et eur County solemnly state that morally, totally and politically uiy character will compare ravo"rbly with any man in our Townihip. Vet with tbo certificate before him, and he himself admitting that oohody ever doubted it, be attempts ly insinuations and inuendocs, In bit reply, to circulate the same liee and slander that he formerly did in conversation against me. The form in which he now attempts to pat til ilanden ia circulation is cowardly and eoutemptibly mean. If ha has any chargos to make again! me or toy character, why don't he wake them openly, and sot, by intimations and inueadoet, attempt to atsassirate a nan 'a repatatlnn, which, above all oder modes that can be selected by aw evil disposed person to inflict an injury upon another, tbii mode it the wont, and the most commonly adopted by irresponsible persons.
