icOJIJfiCNICATED. OLD DEARBORN FOREVER. Messrs. Editors: Please ive the following as a sign of the times in Old Dearborn: At the General Muster of Col. M'Kinney's Regiment 1st Oct. a vote was taken on the
.Presidential question and resulted as
lollows: For Old Hickory 80 J. Q. Adams 8!! Another. At the late sitting of the Grand Jury of Dearborn county, there was a free conversation ou the Presidential question, by which it was ascertained that the members stood as follows: For Jackson 13 Adams 3 One of the People.

We are really surprised at the obstinacy with, which our brethren of the type urge it upon the public, that His Excellency Gov. Ray is dead. In this matter they appear even more implacable than the disciples of Esculnpiuf, who, it seems, in the case of Gov. Ray, have "suffered a recovery." The Springfield, Illinois paper of the 10th Sept. contains the following obituary notice: "Died lately, at Indianapolis, very suddenly, of bilious cholic, Mis Excellency James B. Ray,"' Governor of
Indiana. Now, there is something pleasant in thus being made to die, while an
opportunity is afforded the defunct ofj
hearing what folks have to say of him after he has left the stage of action.

He was consequently committed as a fugitive from justice. Since his com-

From the number daily passing, a partial observer will readily discover that the amount is by no means inconsiderable.

This will doubtless continue until the winter interposes. The point to which emigration is chiefly directed at this time, is the Wabash country. So rapid indeed has been

Opelousas, La. September, 12. The extraordinary changes in the weather which we have experienced for seme days,, make us apprehend a very sickly autumn; the nights are very cool and the days remarkably warm; this sudden transition from heat to cold must, of course, be highly injurious; it lent catarrhs aud slow fevers, accompanied by shooting pains through every part of the body, are becoming every day more pre

It would seem that the remarks we made last week, and some time previously, on the speech of Gen; Stapp, have been understood by some as conveying the idea that the Gen. had proposed a compromise to our members on the subject of the Michigan road. We did not
understand the Gen. to say so in his speech; but that he had made motions
for amendments to the Michigan road
bill, which he thought ought to have been supported by our members. We
were well persuaded of his partiality to Madison, and that he would not (as her
representative) do any thing that might
endanger her interest; knowing this, we could not be brought to believe his professions of a willingness to have the Michigan road subject settled on a foot, ingequally favorable to L iwrencehut h as to Madison, as he said he thought the amendments he had proposed to the bill ought to be viewed. Our member-, at all events, suspected them throughout, as a death blow to our prospects of success; and they had an opportunity of knowing their affect better than those

the matter.

On being examined as to his belief in her power, he shook his head very knowingly and mysteriously, and said that "such things had been done, and might be done, and at all events, it was a breach of the peace.
Tiie magistrate expressed his opinion,

"But," (well says the editor of the Americar Farmer.)

timony in the case, he was not at liberty
to dispute the fact; but, as he knew of no law, whether of the state or corporation, to prohibit any person from throwing salt on the pavement, he must discharge the prisoner and the witnesses retired, complaining bitterly, that an example was not made of such a notorious witch.
The notorious Isaiah Couch, who has been confined in our Jail for some time past, on a charge of horse stealing,
was brought to trial during the past
week, convicted and sentenced to five
years hard labor in the state prison, and to pay one hundred dollars fine, together with costs of suit. If the costs and fine are not paid in money they must be worked out in prison at 25 and 50 cents per day ; which may extend Couch's time in confinement to near 6 years.
Loss of the Steam Boat Missouri. The Steam B jat Missouri, Captain Culver, in descending the Upper Missisippi, from G dean, to this port, struck a snag, and sunk immediately, in twelve or fourteen feet water. The accident occured about ithree o'clock in the afternoon of the 29th, ninety miles above St. Louis. Her freight was principally lead. The Missouri was owned in St. Louis, and is a now boat, having commenced running in M ireh last. The passengers were brought down in the Galean Packet, which arrived yesterday, but we have Vt been able to obtain any other par-i ticulurs. !
On the 11th ultimo, a mar. bv the name of Corder was hung in London for having murdered his witt , which jtroduced a prodigious amount of public excitement. i A correspondent of the London M-.n.-ing Chronich', in his account of the t x ecution, says: "We undeistai d that n spirited bidding took place for tin whole or part of the rope, and that so much as a guinea an inch was offered for it. One person who was a bidder to this amount represented himself as
having been deputed by the Umversi'y of Cambridge to buy the whole, (how truly we cannot pretend to say ), but
fruling the competitions great, he went
away, content with a small portion of
the (to him or his principals) invaluable treasure. Our progress out ol town was in some degree, impeded by the number of chaises, gig carts and vans taking home the persons who had hurried to witness the melancholy exit of the unfortunate Corder.
