Governor- JAMES SCOTT, of Clark county, late one of the supreme judges, is nomtna. ted in the New Albany Gazette, as a candidate for governor. NOAH NOBLE, of Marion county, and MILTON STAPP, of Jefferson, are generally, we believe, understopd candidates for the same office. 07" We are authorised to announce JOSEPH HOLMAN, of Fort Wayne, Allen county, as a candidate to represent this district in the 22d congress. fj7We have been requested to Bay that JAMES W. HUNTER will be voted for as a suitable person for supervisor, at the ensuing election in this township. Lieut. Governor. WILLIAM C. LINTON, of Vio county, JAMES GItEGORT, of Shelby county, and DAVID WALLACE, of Franklin county, (all Clayites,) are announced in the Indiana Democrat as candidates for lieutenant governor, at the August election. Printer to Concfreaa. Many of our readers will no doubt be pleased to hear that the indefatigable editor of the U. States Telegraph, (Duff Green, esq.,) whose able support of republican principles and the measures of the administration, has brought upon him the sore displeasure of every Clay minion from Maine to Florida, has been re elected printer to the house of representatives for two years more. The votes were for Duff Green 108, Gales and 8eaton 76, Win. Greer 16, Way and Gideon 1, scattering 3, blanks 2. Col. Richard M. Johnson, of Ky. is spoken of in several New York and Pennsylvania papers, as a suitable person for the vice presidency, to succeed Mr. Calhous, whose term of service, according t usage, will expire in 1833. t I In our paper to-day we insert the new law regulating the mode of doing county business In the several counties in this state. Circuit Court. By the lata law, the next session of the c.'rcuit court for Dearborn county, will be held at this place on the 4th Monday in March, instead of the 2d Monday of April, as formerly The river has risen some since our last pub. lication, but the ice is running so thick as almost to step navigation. A few steam boats have passed up within a day or two, and several down. We understand that 4 or 5, of the largest clasi, which were ice-bound below have arrived at hippingsport, with cargoes of Coffee, Sugar, &c A brick and several frame buildings, situated on the orner er Elm and Front streets, Cincinnati, were destroyed by fire on the night of the third inst. In removing some things from one of the houses, Mr. Jame$ rmstrnt well known to many of our citizens, was so badly injured as to oause his death on the evening following. We copythe following account of this dreadful catastrophe, from the .National Republican Among the first who arrived at the fire was Mr. James Armstrong, tobacconist. He was endeavoring to bring out some property fro ti a room adjoining the grocery, when ft keg of potoder! in the grocery, exploded, and threw down part of a brick par tition wall, which falling against a board partition, fell on Mr Armstrong, confining bis body and legs so that be could not extricate himself. The grocery room, and the whole floors overhead being in flames, although several persons rushed In and were severity burnt in trying to get him out, it was in vaio: they were compelled to retreat quickly or be burnt: and he waa obliged to remain in that situation for about half au hour, before be was relieved the engines playiog into that part of the building, to repress the fire, so that persons eould approach him safely. He was at last taken out, but eo dreadfully bruised and roasted, that bis life is despaired of. Thus, the life of a worthy citizen, the father of a family, has probably been sacrificed, by the gross carelessness of keeping an unlawful quantity of powder in a store! TO THE EDITOR. TTathington, 10 th February t 1831. Sin Enclosed you have an amendment which 1 introduced to a bill concerning the public lands. As I do not wish to hold out false bopes, I will not venture to flatter the people of tny state, that it will pass; but I am satisfied it has & fairer prospect to do so, than the proposition made by Mr. Peltis, of reducing the price of the lands and it is a much preferable one, for the poor : for it will enable every man to obtain as much land as will sustain his familybesides it will have a tendency to fiil up the vacancies in the older settlements, bring the soil under cultivation, subject it to taxation, aid in populating the state, and that too, without reducing the price of the improved lands. Mr. Pettis proposition was, to reduce the price to actual settlers, to seventy-five cents per acre, and confine the settlement right to a quantity not exceeding a quarter section ; so that a man could not obtain an acre of land ynless he could raise sixty dollars, which very few poor men could do. In relation to the success of the proposition, I can say, that many influential members of congress are in favor of it because I had made it a point to consult them on the subject, befor I proposed the amendment. I would not however wish to be understood, a having received a pledge from any gentle man to support the measure. I further believe, thjat every one who would, from principle, support Mr. Pettis' plan, wou'd support mine; and many others, in order to favor the poor, would be induced to do the same I can hardly hope for its passage this session, as it is a short, one, and as so much t.me has been consumed With te trial of Judge Peck : but that it will, ere long become a law, I entertain very little do'ibt. At any rate, if we never ask it, we shall never obtain it, and if we shall nt succeed, why, we can but lose, our labour; while

we shall have the consolation to knew. It was lost in advocating what many of us believe to be the just claims of the poor and the pennyless. Kespectfully, yours, JOHN TEST. COPT Or THE AMENDMENT. Strike out all ader tbe word "bave," in the second line of the first section, and insert what follows: prior to the thirty-first day of January, oue thousand eight hundred and been subject to entry at private sale, may be disposed of in the manner following, that is to say, it shall and may be lawful for any head of a family, not having received a donation of land from the United States, and wishing to become an actual settler on any parcel of unsold land which has been subject to entry for nil the time aforesaid, not exceeding one half quarter section in amount, to demand and receive from the proper Register a written permission to settle thereon: the person so applying shall pay tothe said Register cents for his services in making the entry and furnishing the permit; and, if he or she shall forthwith setile thereon, and continually inhabit, cultivate, and improve the same for and during the term of five consecutive years, and shall be a citizen of the United States at the end of said term, the said person, or bis or her legal representative?, on proof, to tbe satisfaction of said Register, of 6nch habitation, cultivation, and improvement, shall be entitled to receive a patent therefor, the said settler paying to the Register of the proper district , for the use of the United States, the sum of two dollars for the expense of making and transmitting the said patent ; and, if two or more persons entitled to the privilege of actual settlers, shall apply nt the 6ame time for the same piece or parcel of land, then the said Register shall immediately decide the right of preference between them according to equitable circumstances, and, where tbe equitable circumstances appear to be equal, the decision shalt be by lot: Provided, alzoays, That no sale, alienation, or transfer of any settlement right hereby authorized, shall be valid; and in no case shall the patent issue in the name of, or enure to the benefit of any person but the settler himself, if he be living at the time; and, if he be dead, it 6 h a 1 1 issue to his widow, if be leave one, and there be no children, or to his heirs or devisees, reserving to the widow in all case?, except where she may happen to be eole heir, her right of

dower. Sec. And be it further enacted, That the Register, for service done in taking proof of settlement, habitation, cultivation, and improvement, and granting the final-certificate, shall be entitled to receive of the settler the sum of one dollar, and no more, in full of all fees for such service XiATB FOREIGN NEWS, We have by the last arrivals from Europe, accounts of a revolution in Poland. "The following," says the Baltimore Patriot, "is the account of the immediate cause of this revolution, as published in the Journal du Paris, of December 14th: "It was in the evening of the 29lh Nov. that the insurrection wa9 commenced by the under ensigns. It was excited by the abhorrence which they had to witness the ignominious death of twelve students, who had been sentenced by a court martial to be shot for having sung the. Mirsellois hymn. The first point to which tbe ensigns directed their course, was the arsenal; they took possession of that post, which contained 70,000 guns, and 100 pieces of cannon. The grand duke Constan tine was then at Belvidere, about three miles from Warsaw. The fight con tinned during the whole of tbe night, and on the following morning the people remained masters of the city. The regimeot of engineers was the first to revolt. The French tri-coloured cockade wa3 instantly adopted, with cries of "Vive Lifayette, the friend ofKoeciusco, for ever." They went to the house of the French consul in search of the tri-coloured flag; and having found it, although the consul (M. Durand) was suspected to be a congregationist, and attached to the fallen dynasty, they joined the Polish white flag and the tri-coloured one together, and hoisted them in that state. ThejNational Guard is being raised." The Prussiau State Gazette of December 4th, says the news of the Polish insurrection caused the greatest consternation. "As far as we yet know, the plot was secretly prepared, and then carried into effect by a number of young Poles, who are educated in a military 6chool, and consequently have a military organization. The insurgents hastened to the palace and murdered the Russian centinels. At the same time they called the citizens to arms; the arsenal was stormed, and all hastened to combat the Russian and some Polish troops, at whose head the grand Duke Constantine retired fightiog. The Grand Duke is said to have incurred the greatest personal danger."

The following is the account of the first act of the insurrection received in Berlin on the 4th of December: "On tbe evening of the 29ih Nov. an insurrection broke out at Warsaw, it began in the military school of ensigns. The young men to tbe number of 500 to 600, took up arms and spread themselves through the town, calling the citizens lo arms. A multitude ol students and inhabitants soon joined them. They proceeded to the barracks of the infantry, and the arsenal, which was taken by 10 o'clock. The immense quantity of muskets and sabers it contained weie distributed to the people. The insurrection had previously gained the barracks of the infantry. The engineer regiment was the first that rose, and several other regiments soon followed. The Grand Duke Constantine on the point of being attacked or surrounded in his palace, eilected his retreat upon Prag.i, with his guard two Russian regiments and a regiment of Polish cavalry, who followed him from a sense of military honor, but will remain neutral if the soldiers do not disband themselves and join their fellow citizens. The exasperation, for a long time smothered, was so very considerable at the moment of insurrection , that some Polish detachment?, who at the commencement refused to give up their post of arms to the people, were massacred as traitors. Forty-one colonels or majors were killed in endeavoring to keep the troops in obedience. It ie added that two aids of the Duke were slain. The opinion at Warsaw was, that the defection of the Polish army would become general. The chief of the municipal police, and two Russian Generals, were killed." In England the disturbances and riots continued in various parts of tbe country. 'A meeting of the freeholders of the county of Middlesex, was convened by the Sherifl at Hackney, on the 1Mb, to consider the state of the country generally. It was very crowded. The requisition was made before the change of Ministers. Severe comments were made on the opposition of the late ministers to reform. ResolutioLS were passed calling for triennial parliaments, the vote by ballots and other reforms. Sir Francis Burdett who was opposed to some of the resolutions, spoke amidst hisses and cheers. Mr. Hume was received with great cheering." "tafy Pope Pius VIII. died in November. This Prince, says the Herald,

raised to thej Holy See in 1829, was a man of mild manners and unassuming good sense. The possession of the latter he proved in a high degree by the instant and cordial acknowledgment which he made of the change of government in France, almost the last act ot his reign." From the Delaware Gazette, Jan. 23. The late Storm. A friend at Milford, in this state, writes to us under date of the 24th instant, in relation to the late storm as follows: "It is said by the old people of our town that they have never before known so much damage done by a storui. Our Farmers adjoining this bay have met with heavy losses of cattle, sheep and hogs some have lost all, and others from 30 to 70 head each, which added to the injury resulting from the overflowing of their farms by the salt water, rendered the damage very great. The tavern house on our beach, was principally blown down, but the family which resided in it, consisting of four or five persons escaped any injury except what they suffered from cold. The tide extended a mile above the tavern, and of course inundated the house so much as to make itnecessary torepair to the second story for shelter. Several other houses near the bay were much in the samo condition. A poor black woman, and her two small children, have been found drowned on slaughter beach; and the marsh is literally 6trewed with dead cattle. We are out of fuel, hay and oats for our horse?, and we are likely to remain eo for some time, as our farmers are unable, on account of the high banks of snow, to reach lhi3 place. Our poor class of citizens are in a distressing condition. The tide flowed over our wharves, and into our granaries, and has done considerable damage to our grain. There wa? a poor fellow near the beach, on the Kent side, who lost all his cattle, bogs, poultry, and fencing; and he and his aged mother were near perishing, but saved themselves by repairing to the second story of the house, and there covering themselves with blankets, &c. The accounts from Milton, twelve miles below Milford, represent the damage done in and near the town to amount to seven or eight thousand dollars, produced by the tide sweeping off an immense quantity of cattle, wood, bark, 8zc. and by driving vessels on to the wharves, and two of them are said to be high and dry in one of the streets. At Mill sborough, where the tide was never before known to reach, the furnace is said to have sustained damage to the amount of eight or niue thousand dollars, '

From Murdrrkill creekldown to La wes, the damage, it is said has been generally very great. We learn from the Louisville papers that thirty flat bottomed boats were torn from their moorings at tbt place; several of which passed this town so blocked up by the ice, that they could not be secured. These boats beloi ged to the Kenhawa Salt works; who lost 200 barrels of salt. A'ew-.ilbany Gaz. Lnoisiana Election, Mr. Johnson the present Senator from Louisiana has been re-elected. He obtained a majority of five votes over the Jackson candidate seven members, In favorof the administration being absent. If the whole strength of the Jacksonians, returned by the people of Louisiana, had reached New Orleans, before the election, our correspondent assures us that Mr. Dawson would have been elected by a vote of 31 to 29. Mr. Johnson therefore, represents a minority of his constituents in the Senate, which is very appropriate, as he represents the interests of Mr. Clay in that body. Globe. ANNUAL ELECTION.
