Indiana Palladium, Volume 6, Number 13, Lawrenceburg, Dearborn County, 3 April 1830 — Page 3

LAWRENCEBURGH. Jlr. 7e$ has politely forwarded us a copy of Mr. Cambreleng's Report on Commerce and Navigation," made to the lower house of congress on the 8ih ulf. As its length must exclude it from the paper, we shall be pleased to loan it for perusal. It will be seen by an article in another fcolumn, that the Opposition have been beaten "horse and fool" in the late election in New Hampshire. What will Webster 6ay to this? will he call the Hampshireites Southrons, and swear the State lies south of the Potomac? We learn from the Examiner that a dreadful hurricane passed over a portion of Washington co. Penn. on the 22.1 ult. Several houses, barns, & other buildings were razed to the ground,& a number unroofed and otherwise injured. A man by the name of Armstrong and son were killed,and eight or ten other persons seriously or slightly wounded We deem it proper to say, for the satisfaction of some of the fiiends of Gen. Harrison and in justice to ourselves, that the article inserted in the Palladium, a short time since, relating to Gen. Harrison as minister to Colombia, was not original with us, but taken from the Albany Gazette. The credit usual in such cases was omitted, through inadvertence of the compositor. Congress. It is expected that congress toill adjourn between the 17th and last of May. We have given to day a lew extracts from the proceeding. The resolution introduced, by Mr. Daniel, calling on the Secretary of the treasury for information as to the expenditures of the government for he years 1828 and 29, is not without its importance in these times of finesse and bad memories. The statement trumped up by the National Journal, contrasting the expenditures of those two years, i9 undoubtedly false, and will be nailed to the counter in due time. Flour This article has lately fallen In the Cincinnati market from 4 to $3 per barrel, and proportionally in our market. The Cincinnati American is harping away with great apparent earnestness on the subject of the next presidency. The editors are evidently in a quandary bow to dispose of the present incumbent, to make room for their favorite; and seem to be faultering whether it would be best to stick to their first assertion, that Gen. Jackson will not be a candidate, or admit the dreadful reality that he will, and set in lustily to defame him and every act of his administration. Although they are not altogether destitute of common sense and foresight, the want of candor, added to an overweening desire to serve their masters, compels them to resort toany expedient to keep up a show of resistance to the administration and the re-election of president Jackson. They cannot, however, conceal their real sentiments so much, but what it is discernable in every leading article, that they believe the offering of General Jackson by his friends for re-election, as a death blow . to their hopes for the present. A'jd surely they show some sense in their madDess for we would consider it quite as reasonable for them to hope to overturn the Allegheny mountains, by pulling at the waistband of their breeches, as to defeat Gen. Jackson, if he is a candidate and we hope and confidently believe be will be. The g-nd of the country the harmony of the Union the perfecting of the greats) stem of industry and accountability in public 'officers and a rigid examination into the wfftirs of the different departments of the government call loudly for a sacrifice of inclination on his part, and a compliance with the wishes of his friends. While on this subject, we would hint to the editors of the American, that whatever may be the claims of Mr. Clay to the suffrages of the American people, they are most cer' airily postponed until after the next presidential election. In thus giving our opinion, we would not dishearten his friends, or cast a shade over their fond anticipations of one day seeing him rise to the highest station in the gift of the people of this or any other country. We would, however, caution them against a too zealous an effort to push him forward at an inauspicious moment. In pol tics, as in the economy of nature, there is a counter current always setting hard in, which may thwart the brightest prospects; and the greater the velocity of the current, the more violent will be the reaction. We would also enjoin an observance of the christian

virlucff patience, moderation, truth $0 nearly lost sight of in the strife and anxiety to weaken the confidence of thc'peopie in the integrity and ability of the administration. If its enemies hope ad vantage, thty must assail it with stronger weapons than falsehood and abuse. Every effort to put it down by such means, will only make it stronger, and raise in public estimation the different di.-tinguished individuals of which it is composed. Of the president we can speak with confidence, that the means used against him have only tended to exalt him in the opinion of his old friends, and now operate as not the least among the many reasons why they wish to see him re-elected.

On Friday, the 6th inst., the dwelling house of Mr. Thomas Stevens, of Greene, was consumed by fire; two persons perished in the flames; and Mr. S. was so badly burned that he died the next morning. The circumstances were as follows: the family consisted of Mr. T. Stevens and wife, their son and wife, two sisters of the laller, and two children. Mr. Stevens and wife slept in a bed room adjoining the kitchen, Mrs. Stev ns, her sisters and two children, slept in the second storythe young man being from home. About day light Mrs. Stevens was; awakened by a noise resembling that made by the ravages of fire, and called her sister to see whence it proceeded. On reaching the bottom of the stairs she found that the progress of the flames was so great as to render an escape from the door impossible'.-"-They returned and informed Mrs. S. that the only way for escape was through the window, and immediately caught her sister, a child about ten years old, and threw her out. Mrs. Stevens, oh the return of her sister from the stairs, took her infant, eight days old, in her arms, proceeeded towards the stairs, leading her little child about two years old. On opening the door her clothes caught fire. She made an effort to regain the chamber, but, in consequence of the excitement, and her weakness, she fell with her children. However, after repeated trials she succeeded in getting to her chamber, but in attempting to go to the window she lost boldofherlittle child, which she was leading, and having thrown her infant out at the window, was in the act of turning to get her other child, when her sister who still kept hold of the window, seeing the flame9 burst through the chami.er floor, grasped her and both fell to the ground. The elder Mr. S evens and wife, who slept below, hearing the cries of those above, arose. The latter opened the door, leading to the kitchen, and was seen no more, and was supposed to have been precipitated into the cellar. The fire rushed into the room with such force that Mr. Stevens sprang for the window, which was fast. He commenced breaking it with his hands, in doing which, however, his clothes took fire, and continued to burn until he buried himself in the snow. He afterwards crept to the bain where, in a short time after, he was found naked and unable to s:and He survived in the mos excruciating agony until the next morning when he expired.

NoR?otfc, (Va) March 12. Awful Hurricane. A letter from a gentleman, residing in James City County, to his friend in this place, dated 8th inst give3an appalling account of a hurricane which swept over that section of country near the Burnt Oidinary, about 12 miles from Williamsburg the preceding night, threatening with destruction every thing that opposed its progress, aud prostrating or unroofing many dwellings, outhouses, &c Among the most calamitous of its effects noticed in the letter, is the destruction of the ancient abode of the Bush family, now occupied by Mrs. Nancy Bush. The inmates ... -

nad retired to rest wnen, about 1U o'clock a flaw of wind of extraordinary violence struck the venerable building and "such a dilapidation can hardly be described: scarcely was one brii k left upon another, although the ancient edifice had numbered near a century." Several of the inmates consisting of old Mrs. Bush. Miss Mary Weathers, George and William Bush, and William Hall, were st verely ii.jured,all in some degree but believed none dangerously. Mr. Wm. Bush was under the ruins of the house about two hours before assistance could be had, momently xnected to be crushed to death. Mr. William Hall had his l-g broken but happily no lives were lost. All theout-hous s, torn crib. &c were swept before the tempest. 1 ne residence ol JWrs. H. riggot also was unroofed, and the hou-e on one of the quarters destroyed. Here too the occupants escaped death as by a miracle.

Most Melancholy. On the afternoon of the 22nd inst. while Joseph Venaman, a near neighbor of ours, was assisting in rolling a saw log onto a wagon, near town, by some misfortune the log slipped, after it had nearly reached the tops of the wheels, rolled hnck again with great velocity, threw Mr. Venaman across another log and passed over his breast, by which means he was crushed to death apparently in a moment. He did not speak after the log passtd over him. The deceased was a kind and faithful husband, a good neiehbor. ami industrious and valuable mechanic and citizen, and has left a distressed widow and large family of small children, to mourn his melancholy and untimelv death. Times. " The Washing. on Telegraph says most of the nominations of consuls, marshals, and district attorney, whose nominations were some time since submitted to the Senate, have been confirmed. The nomination of Henry Lep, consul to the Barbary powers, having been rejected by the senate, the president nominated Commodore Porter to that station, and the senate, it ie said, has confirmed the nomination by a large majority, IVestmoreland Repub. Stump Orators. There is much Originality and quaintness of expression in the following extract from a stump speech of a candidate for the Legislature in one of the western statpsr 'Born' said he,in a cane brake, cradled in a sp trough, my zeal for independence has grown to maturity, without being choked by the weeds of education.' mimmmmm wot A Boston paper suggest?, in this age of anti-ism, that a society he formed for the purpose of discountenancing the lending of newspapers and umbrellas. Amongst the patents granted for useful inventions in 1829, were the following: a machine for the chopping of sausage meat; for the manufacture of

shoe pegs; for ah improve jnent in the apparatus, in preventing bed bugs. The last, if effectual, deserved well a patent. (Communicated.) I would suggest to the citizens of this Village, the necessity of enforcing as well as enacting laws. Of what benefit is it to make penal laws and not exact

the penalty? Our streets are full of obstructions, our alleys blocked up, our market without regulation. Is this the fault of the the Council or the Marshal, or the weakness of the law.
