LAWRENCSBURGH. We are informed that the postmaster general has forwarded instructions to the postmaster at Louisville, directing him to employ an additional rider on the mail route from that city via this place to Cincinnati; so that we shall in future have three eastern and western mails per week. This is doing pretty well for a route that not long since had but one mail on it,and that carried irregularly. But this comes from having energetic and business men at the head of the government; men who not only know the wishes and wants of the country, but who aie disposed to meet them to the extent the most enconomical and rigid application of the public funds will justify. On Friday the 14th inst.. as the steam boat Jative, bound up, was passing near the mouth of Laughery crek, G miles below this place, she ran against a snag, bilged, and sunk shortly after in aboul 7 feet water. By the assistance of two flat boats she was raised, and the iujury repaired so as to enable her to pass up on Tuesday following. The greater part of the cargo we understand was lost. We regret to learn that there is great reason to apprehend that Mr. E. H. Hudson, a sitizen of BrookvilIe,has been lost on his passage from New Orleans to Havana. He left this place la?t winter, with about ISO hogs in aflat boat for the lower market, where we learn, he shipped them on board the brig William and sailed for Havana; since which time the vessel has not been heard from. At the latest accounts from New Orleans, it was generally believed that she had been lost at sea. One who pays his taxes in specie? makes a heavy thrust at the treasurer and collector of tliis county, as if all the fault of the unstable condition our county paper rested with them. We have been inclined to think the causes did not lie there, (iho' to a certain extent they may,) but in the organiz itiou and administration of the cdoty business; and a short attendance at the late sitting of the board of supervisors, has had the effect to confirm this opinion; We make this remark out of no ill feeling to the board, but as the honest convictions of our mind; in which we believe we are supported by several of the most intelligent of its members. We feel persuaded that a large portion of the citizens of this county are now satisfied that the present plan of doing county business will not answer, and that a radical change is absolutely necessary; and we cannot but hope they will press the matter on the attention of our next representation to the legUlature. Until something is done by legislative enactment to call into action financial experience) and to enforce a rigid discharge of duty on the part of accounting ( fficera,it will be useless to expect a sound county currency, This is our opinion. a 8THT n "Let the people have light!'1 exclaimed the acting editor of or-gi. boring print, " tvhen be published a fdse and foolish statement of the expenditures of the present administration, over the signature of Mr Chilton, and we said, Amen! 1 hat the public may have "light'' we insert to day a letter from the indefatigable chairman of the committee on retrenchment, (Mr. VVickl ff: ) showing the true expenditures of the administration. We think the people will soon be able to discover that the "light" held out by certain coalition editors is full of darkness, and enly intended to show to better advantage the tlar they adore. The senate of the United States have confirmed the nomination of Amos Kendall, as 4th auditor, by a vote of 25 to 24 the vice presi . dent deciding ; and njfxted 'hat of M. M No ah, as surveyor of the port of New York, by a a vote of J5 to 23. The nominations of Moses Dawson, as receiver of public moneys at Cincinnati, and J U Gardner, as regisier of the Jand office at Tiffin Ohio, have been rejected Congress is expected to rise about the first of June. It is really surprising to hear with what self-complacency some persons talk about the "principle," the immutable "principle," by which they are governed ; when it is well known that if ;dl they prossessed was susceptible of beingcondensed into a solid body.it would scarcely be discernable through a microscope of the greatest power. Yet we see these very men hanging to the skirts of the coalition, claiming and ex crcising authority with those ignorant nf their real character?,or who are content to tolerate and encourage them for purposes of their own. With them 'principle" seems to be very convenient j for while it serves to bliod the

eyes of some, it enables them to practice more successfully the low cunning of their nature upon others. Conscious of their own unworthiness, they are extremely sensitive and suspicious. Touch them, hold up the mirror so that their deformity may be seen, and they immediately shrink within themselves, or, ensconsed behind their favorite breast work of "principle," bid defiance to the world ; and indeed they may do so with some reason, for no person possessed of a moderate fund of billingsg Jte, could successfully withstand their sorties. The editors of a "neighboring print" of course will not consider that we are casting 'dark insinuations' at them they are "honorable men." The following, from the Indiana Journal, may give our readers some idea of the causes which induced the impeachment of judge Peck, of Missouri, before the Senate of the United States. ''From what we can learn, (not having seen the evidence upon which the prosecution is founded,) it appears that Judge Peck delivered an opinion in some important cause in the United Sales' District Court forthe state of Missouri; upon which opinion, after it whs published in a St. Louis paper, a Mi . Luke E. Lawless, one of the counsel in the cause, wrote and published a criticism, pointing out what he conceived to be its errors. Mr. Lawless was summoned to appear before the Judge and shew cause why he should not be punished for a contempt. Mi. L iwless appeared, and, after argument of the case being thereupon had,-he was sentenced to the common jail for twentyfour hours, and suspended from practising in that Court for eighteen months. The matter abc ut to be investigated by the Senate,isa charge against Judge Peck of arbitrary, illegal, and tyrannical conduct in thus punishing Mr Lawless for the exercise of a right, which he contends is secured to him by the con

stitution and laws of the country. IXSEXATE OF THE U. STATES. Jlay 5, 1830. Mr. Hzndricks made the following Report: The Committee on Roads and Canals, to whom zvere referred a resolution of the Senate, and a memorial of many citizens of Allen county , in the State of Indiana, asking a donation of land for the construction of a road from Lawrence burgy by way of Fort Wayne, to the southern bend of St. Joseph's of Lake Michigan, report : That they have duly considered the su:jtct, and are of opinion that the ob jects in view are of sufficient magnitude to demand the aid of the General Government, and more especially as the lands on the line of the road chiefly belong to the United States. A glance at the map ot the country will s-how that a road of great importance must, at no distant day , be constructed in that quarter, to unite the mineral regions of the Mississippi with the State t Ohio and the more eastern States. The growing importance of the mineral country and the Territory contemplated west of the Lake, has designated this as one of the most important roads in the northwestern portion of the Union. That portion of it west of Fort Wayne will be on the line of the nearest possible route from the eastern cities to the lead mines; a route which must be travelled in the winter season, in preference of that through the northern rivers and lakes. This route has already attracted the attention of some poition of the A'lantic seaboard, and its importance must necome more and more apparent. Its advantages over any other route in point of distance from any given point east of the Onio river, is great and obvious. From Lawrenceburg to Fort Wayne the whole distance is about 140 miles; the road passes through the valley of the White Water GO or 70 miles, a highly cultivated and fertile country. The residue is very thinly settled, the soil being of an inferior quality. It is however, a country which has advantages that must induce settlement. This road, uniting the Ohio river and the White Water with the highlands of the Wabash, the Maumee, and the Elk hart, is destined to be one of great, utility. The country just named will always be engaged in a busy commerce with the Onio river. From Fort Wayne to the southern bend of the St. Joseph's, CO miles, thence to Chicago, 90 miles, the lands, with the exception of the country immediately around Fort Wayne, are not yet in market. In the Elkhart and St. Joseph's country, there is already a numerous population, and this road is much wanted for the purpose of emiuration. The route has heretofore been by way of Detroit and the Chicago road from that place, or by water through the straits of Mackinac, the lakes, and up the St. Joseph's. The committee propose to grant a quantity of land equal to one section, tor evrry mile of the road, to be located in alternate legal subdivisions under the

direction of the Commissioner of the General Land Oflice. The committee are fully aware of the importance ofVxtending this road to the mines on the Mississippi; but the Territory west of the lake not yet being formed, and the lands west of Chicago not prepared for market, it is not proposed to go beyond the Indiana State line at the present time. Through dishicts like these, where the Government own the public lands, it is believed that no disposition of a small portion of them more judicious can be made, than in grants for the construction of roads. The country is thereby opened to settlement and sale, the lands are increased in value, emigration is encouraged, more of the public lands become individual property, and more money is brought into the public treasury. The history of all grants, in every portion of the country justifies this policy as wise and judicious, ad vancing nlike the local interest and that of the Government at large. Donations thus given operate in favor o! the treasury, and not to its prejudice;

for the increased value of lands contiguous to such grant will more than compensate for the grant itself. In support of this opinion, the road from Sandusky to the Miami may be cited as authority : that road, passing through the Black Swamp, a district of country almost inaccessible, has been constructed "in the most durable manner," by the proceeds of the sections of land on each side of, and contiguous fo, the road, granted to the Slate of Ohio by act of 1823, and leaving a considerable surplus alter the completion of the work. The location too of the road from Detroit to Chicago, it is believed, will also sustain this opinion. On the line of that road, although no appropriation of either land or money was previously given for the construction of the road, yet such was the effects of the location upon the sales of public lands that individuals followed the commissioners with the view of purchasing the lands upon the line as soon as the location should be certainly known, until the interference of the General Land Office in stopping the private sales put a stop to the speculation, and gave at public sale to the Government the advantages of the location. The committee, induced by the foregoing considerations, report a bill. COPY OF THE BILL REPORTED. Be it enacted $'C. That, ft r the purpose of aiding the State of Indiana in making a road from Lawienceburg, on the Onio river, by ivay of Fort Wayne and the Southern bend of the Saint Joseph's, to the Slate line, in the direction of Chicago, there be, and the fame is hereby, appropriated, a quantity of land equal to the one half of two sections for every mile of said ioad3 to be selected under the direction of the Commissioner of the General Land Office, upon the line of the road, and as near thereto as practicable, in alternate legal subdivisions; and the lands so appropriated shall be vested in the State of Indiana , for the uses and pur poses above named, and for no other: Provided, That the Legislature of Indiana shall, at (heir first session after the passing of this act, cause the said road to be located within one year after the termination thereof; otherwise, the grant herein made shall be null and void. West India Negotiation. The N. Y. Gazette of Tuesday , 27lh ult. has the following statement: Latest. A letter was received in this city )esteiday, by a mercantile house, dated in London on the 2d inst. It was received via St. Andrews, at which place the vessel bringing it arrived on the 17th inst. in a passage of fourteen days. The object of the letter is to communicate intelligence of the close of the negociation between our minister and the British government respecting the Colonial trade the latter having signified to Mr. M'Lane that his arguments were insufficient to render the re-opening of that trade expedient. The Buffalo Journal speaks of a "most singular calf" in Evans, Erie co. "which was born literally inside out, the head, legs, feet, tail and hair being within the skin, and the heart, liver, intestines, &;c. occupying the outer surface of the body!" This reminds one of that "most singular man" who jumped down his own throat. Cruel oppression. A widow woman is in jail in Providence, R. 1. for the fearful crime of owing 68 cents! Her husband was killed, about, two years ngo, while endeavoring to save the pro perty of her present creditor from fire. Death by Lightning. On Saturday evening 1st inst. Miss Rachel Fnese vtus killed by lightning, at the house of Mr. Henry Goodman, in Silver Spring township: she was engaged in culinary affairs at the time, and when she received the force of the fluid, fell lifeless against Mrs. Goodman, who was in no wise injured. Carlisle J'olunteer.

Rhode Island Election. The Providence Patiiot contains returns of the late election of governor and members of the Legislature of the state of Rhode Island, so far as they have been received. The conclusion of the editor of the Patriot, is that James Fenner is elected governor by more than one thousand majority, and the Jackson Senate re-elected by a majority less in numberand less decided and certain. "In August last," says the Patriot, "Messrs. Burgess and Pearce, candidates for the opposition, obtained in this State over the Jackson candidates, more than three thousand majority. Since that time the change which has taken place can be seen in the election of the Jackson ticket for our state Legislature. In the house of Representatives, we confidently expect a majority of the members, and it we are disappointed here we shall in Grand Committee of the Senate and House, have a decided majority." We understand by a gentleman who has just arrived from below, that the

Steam Boat 1 lgress was consumed on Sunday last, about 10 miles below Louisville. Our informant says, when it was ascertained the fire could not be extinguished, she was run on shore, when the hands and passengers left her: soon after which a keg of powder on board exploded, and she went down. No one was injured, but the cargo was lost.- Rep. Statesman. Newliseon, Ohio, April 21. MURDER! It falls to our lot to record a most melancholy transaction which occurred in Smith township, in this county. Yesterday morning, at about 3 o'clock, a man named Jacob Hartzel in a mental derangement, cut the throat of his only remaining child, a girl of about S years of age, from ear to ear!! Mrs. Hartzel was so deeply affected by this horrible deed, that she had to be removed to some of her friends, where, it is believed, she will not survive the afflictive shock her tender feelings received.
