PALLADIUM. Lawrenceburgh, July 7.
We have no important information from the army in the west. Gen. Atkinson was expected to move against the enemy about the 25th ult. Cholera. Our dates from Canada are to the 21st ult., at which time the disease was suppo ted to be on the decrease. The Heaths in Montreal were still however about 250 per day. Oa the I7thi 14 persons fell dead in the streets of poplexy, occasioned by excessive fright. Une or two cases cf disease supposed to be cholera, have occurred at Erie Pa. Launch The hall of a new steam boat, built by some enterprising citizens in Manchester and this place, was launched at this place on the 4th inst. It is expected she will be ready for business by the 1st of September, and will be regularly employed in running between Cincinnati ana Kising Sun. She is, we understand, to be called the "Rising Sun of Laicrenceburgh." A report from the committee on public land3,on a resolution of the general Assembly of this state, claiming 3 quarters of sec tion 25, T. t, R. 1 west, under an act of congress of lSlfj, as a suit lick reserve, is given in another part of this paper. The committee report adverse to the claim of the state, and ask to be discharged from a further ccn3ideration of the subject. The Washington city Globe, of the 29th ult., announces the death of Col. Mitchell, i f r n r i 1 a member ot congres3 irom iuaryiaim. Tiiis is the 3d death, among the members, since the commencement of the session. Catching at Straws. The presses opposed to the administration, made a great flourish, a short time since, about the defection of the Mercer County Gazette, a paper said to have once supported the reelection of Gen. Jackson. The Clay press in this place, thinking the matterofvast importance, chimed in with il3 kindred spirits Tray, Blanche and Sweetheart in the cry of reactions in Pennsylvania, and devoted a special paragraph to the matter. The chase was a bad one, &, the yelpers soon found themselves at fault, as will appear from the following article, extracted from the Western Press, published in Mercer, Pa. We would particularly call the attention of the Statesman to X, and ask the inscription of some appropriate verses to the memory of a deceased friend. Our neighbor should not be remiss in this, for there is no knowing how soon he may stand in need of a similar favor. Mercer County Gazette. This renowned print, it will be recollected lately passed from the Jackson to the Chy ranks. The Clay papers throughout the Union trumpeted forth the somerset of Mr. Hill as a matter worthy of rejoicing a3 a triumph to the cnuse of Henry Clay. As the politics of the Greenville Gazette, alias Mercer County Gazette, appears to be of vast importance to the Nationals, we. trust they will receive the news of its approaching de-mi-e with a becoming: fortitude, and extend to their adopted brother an appropriate obituary notice. We say this, because Mr. Hill has already reaped the fruits of apostacy, nearly all his subscribers having left him. His last publication was but a half sheet, and in it he notifies his readers that the next publication will be the last of the Mercer Courtly Gazette, Congress. The tariff bill, or the bill to lessen import duties, we are pleased to be able to say, passed the house of representatives on the 28th ult. This bill has yet to undergo the action of tho Senate. It will, no doubt, be strenuously opposed by Mr. Clay and the high-tax American Systemites, ttnd by Mr. Calhoun and the nullification party. We hope, however, to see the friends of peace of justice of the Union, rallying to its support, and carrying it through the senate despite the two rival champions of revolution' and civil war. The whole delegation from this state voted for the bill. The house of representatives, on the &8th ult. reconsidered a vote, rejecting a resolution offered by Mr. Boon fixing the Hay of adjournment, and then adopted it ayes Lis), nays 4U. fchould the senate concur, both houses will adjourn on the 9th instant: The bank bill had not on the 29th been iaken up in tho house. A motion that effect would, no doubt, be made in a short time. The Weather for the last 6 or 8 weeks has been unusually dry, and for the most part of the time warm, particularly during the day. We have not had rain enough at any one time, since the first of May, to wet the ground thoroughly, and since the first of June hardly sufficient to lay the dust The consequence will be an almost total failure of the corn crop, in this part of the country. Under the most favorable circumstances, the most forward and best cultivated fields will not yield more than half a crop, and in many instances whole fields will not produce a bushel. The crops of wheat and rye, now cutting, are generally pretty good better, perhaps, than for several seasons past. The grass crop is generally light, and that of oats and early potatoes short. T.lia health of the inhabitants through this fart cf the country, notwithstanding the v.a!rrth and dryness of the weather is as good as usual at this season of the year. Tho citizens of this town sis enjoying this b!csirg in a h:gh cbgre'e.-
. Mr. C. F. CUkson, proprietor. Lc. of the )
W estcrn statesman, seems particularly uesirous of bringing himself into notice, and forcing himself on our attention. "When a puppy barks at one, it is in most cases, better, if he keeps at a proper distance, to let him enjoy the music of his own voice unmolested. But this may not always do. Sometimes it is necessary to teach him that, however harmless his noise may be considered, it would be better for him to keep close to his kennel, and if he must bark, let it be in playful fondness around his master. We think the worthy proprietor will understand from this homely simile, the reasons which induce us to notice him on this occasion, as well as the estimation in which we hold his malignant and pointless thrusts at us. The proprietor say, we cannot lay down premises and draw conclusions. We can assure the gentleman, that on one subject, at least, we laid down our premises long since, and from facts presented, drew conclusions that he is a pimp, a hypocrite, an envious tiro faced drudge, always at the service of those tvho have contributed to raise him to his present notable but transitory imnortancc. These conelusions we have communicated freely to i r I the worthy proprietor, on various occasions; and they may possibly yet remain in his memory influencing his feelings towards us. The proprietor claims a "close and intimate acquaintance with us for the last four years' Very true, he has known us for a few years past, but that there ever existed a "close intimacy" is not the fact. The "premises laid down and the conclusions' we drew, upon an early acquaintance with the proprietor, forbid it. While he worked in this office, in the capacity of an apprentice, we of course, were in the daily habit of giving him mechanical instructions; &. as far as an inert plodding genius was susceptible of it, think we succeeded tolerably well in one particular, though we failed in others. But as to a "close intimacy" we never had any with him; and beg the gentleman not to insist upon it, for we humbly decline the honor. We are now done with Mr. C. F. Clarkson, farther than a notice of the Western Statesman may seem to allude to him. A convention has lately been held in Raleigh, N. C, at which General Jackson was nominated for re-election to the presidency, and Philip P. Barbour to the vice-presidency. It is very easy to see through this movement: Mr. Calhoun and his friends clearly discover that there is no chance for electing him to the presidency in opposition to Gen. Jackson, and hence have withdrawn iiim from the field, and are now employing all their forces to defeat, if possible, Mr. Van Buren's election by the people. Pennsylvania is generally understood to be pledged to Mr. Wilkins; Virginia favors the pretentions of Mr. Van Buren, and the great effort is to withdraw her from him, by exciting her pride and prejudices, and holding up Mr. Barbour, one of her most talented and respected citizens, as a candidate. But the bait won't take. Mr. Barbour; however worthy he may be, stands no chance for suc cess, and his own state is no doubt aware of it, and the motives which induce some of the southern states to favor his pretentions. We doubt very much whether he can carry one state in the south, and we are very certain he can get none in the west. Next to Gen. Jackson we are firmly pursuaded Mr. Van Buren is the most popular man in the west, and will be triumphantly sustained by the republican party, at the ensuing election. Wabash S? Erie Canal. Tha following note to the Editor, from D. Burr, Esq. contract commissioner on the Wabash &. Erie Canal, shows that this work is progressing as fast as circumstances permit. Laboring hands, it will be seen, are much wanted, and would, no doubt, find it to their advan tage to visit Fort Wayne and the line of the canal. Camp, Mill Creek Prairie, ) June W.id, 1832. $ Dear Sir: The canal commissioners have recently engaged Mr. Jesse L. Williams, of Ohio, as principal Engineer on the Wabash and Erie canal. He is now in the field laying off work for the contractors, on the 15 miles of the line which were let the 1st of this month. Several of the contractors have commenced their jobs, and all will have done so in a few days. Some difficulty is felt for want of laborers almost any number could find employ this season at good wages and in healthy situations. communicated . We learn from a gentleman direct from Cincinnati, that the Cholera has actually made its appearance in that that place in its most hideous form. Our informant states that while at a hotel in Cincinnati, a washerwoman made her appearance in the bar room with terror depicted in her countenance, stating that the Collar-a had actually made its appearaace in her wash house, under the disguise of 27 shirt collars with one shirt. The discovery I presume is now made of the true definition ot the term CHOLERA. We are informed Colonel Fitzgerald of Boonville, Warrick county Indiana, has been appointed by the President, buperintencant ot the lrght house on lake Michigan. We are also informed Dr. Hiram Decker of Vincennes, has been selected by government foT the purpose of vaccinating the Indians in tne northern part of this state. fineennes Gazelle, We regret to state, says the Wash; ington Globe, of June 23, that the Hon. John Carr, of Indiana, has from indisposition, been prevented for some days past from attending m the House of Representatives.
The Bill re-chartering the United States Bank has passed the Seiiuio, and has been
called up in the House, where a discussion of it was postponed to make way for the tariff. Its fate in the House is considered doubtful, though it may pass by a small majority in which case it is believed that the President will give it his veto. The pertinacity with which the friends of the Bank insist upon having the question passed at the present session of Congress, and, as it is believed, for party purposes, will scarcely do much to merit or receive the approbation and support of the candid and unprejudiced. There are several reasons why this question should not be acted upon at the present session. There is no need of all this haste on the part of the friends of the Bank, for the charter docs not expire for four years to come, and in the mean time an election of members of Congress will have takeh place, who, it may be supposed, will be elected with a view to the decision of this question. The people will then be allowed time to examine the question and to speak through their representatives. Another reason is, that in the next Congress, several millions of the people will be represented who are not in the present. If the friends of the Bank will press the matter at tho present moment, and the bill should pass, we sincerely hope that the President will place upon it his veto. Maine Democrat. VOLUNTEER CORPS. The Senate have confirmed the nomination of Gen. Henry Dodge to be Major of the corps of mounted volunteers, to be raised under the late act of Congress. Gen. Dodge is a resident of Dodeville, Michigan Territory; and we have abundant testimony that his new appointment will be acceptable to the inhabitants on the frontiers, and advantageous to the public service. A gentlemen who has long been the Superintendent of the Lead Mines at Galena, writes to his friend in this city, "that no better selection could possibly have been made." The Editor of the Galenian, who is a Surgeon in the militia of Illinois thus speaks of him: "Gen. H. Dodge is certainly one of the most indefatigable and efficient men in this or in any other country. He is constantly on the alert ; one day he is found at home planning and adopting means of defence in case of attack, and the next day he is found pushing his little force of mounted Spartans into the very heart of tho Indian countrv. Gen. Dodge was elected, last year, to the Legislative Council of Michigan, and although a new member, would doubtless have been the President of that body. But having heard of the incipient hostile movements of the Indians, he remained at home, and has since been constantly and closely watching every movement. He has callected the friendly tribes, and held several councils with them, and thus secured their adhesion. From such a man, the troops under his immediate command and the country, may expect active and efficient services. Globe. Indian Sovereignty. The Indians in the West are giving a practical illustration of the theory that the possession of this country by the white men is an act of usurpation. The advocates of this theory now see where it leads them. The massacre of our western friends, and all the horrors of an Indian war, should suffice to correct the delusion which has been produced by holding out expectations to the Indians, which can never be realized.

ARMY MOVEMENTS INDIAN WAR. In consequence of the depredations com mitted bv Black Hawk with the hostile Indians under his command, and their suc cess in repelling the attempts of the militia to put them down, the able and experienced head of the War Department with the sanction of the President, has issued the following order. The Artillery have always been stationed on the sea-board, while the Infantry, since 1815, have been on our frontier, and performed all the duty which has been required of the army. We presume that when this war is over, as it soon will be, the Infantry will occupy the stations vacated by the Artillery. N. Y. Courier Sc Enq. Adjuta. General's Office, i Washington, June With, 1832. (Order No. 51.) 1.

The commanding officer of Baton Rogue will order all the companies of the garrison, except one, to proceed forthwith to the scene of Indian hostilities in Illinois, with orders to the commander of the battalion to report to the officer then in command of the troops. Should the commander of the troops from Baton Rogue, on arriving at St. Louis, learn that Indian hostilities had ceased, he will, in such event, return to Baton Rogue with his command. . 5. Lieut. Colonel Twiggs, of the 4th regiment of Infantry, will collect all the dis posable recruits, organise and assume com mand of the detachment, arm and cnuio! such portion thereof as he may judge to be I expedient, and forthwith proceed to Chi cago. 0. Surgeon Everett is assigned to duty with the battalion of Artillery ordered from Fort Monroe, and Assistant Surgeon Macomb to the detachment from Fort Mcllenry and the harbour of New York; Surgeon Harney will accompany the troops ordered from Baton Rogue; Assistant Surgeon Stevenson and Sternecke will accompany the commands from Forts Niagara and Gratiot; Assistant Surgeon Kerr will forthwith proceed to join the command of Brevet Brigadier General Atkinson, via Chicago; and Assistant Surgeons Finley and Jones, now on furlough, will forthwith repair to their respective stations and report in person for duty. 7. The Quarter Master General, Commissary General of Subsistence, Surgeon Surgeon General, and Colonel of Ordnance, will take measures to furnish the means and supplies requisite for the prompt and efficient execution of the provisions and object of this order. 8. All absent Captains and Subalterns attached to companies ordered to Chicago, or elsewhere on the Northwestern Frontier, will forthwith join their respective companies for active duty, unless exempted by special authority, communicated through the Adjutant General's Office. 9. Brevet Major Pierce, of the 4th Artillery, will forthwith proceed from New Castle to the harbour of New York with his entire command, and tho companies A. and D. of that regiment will garrison Fort Columbus and Hamilton, in place of companies F. and II. which companies are not to await the arrival of the relief garrison from Delaware. 10. Brevet Major General Scott is charged with the execution of this order and the prompt movement of the several detachments herein ordered from the seaboard and upper lakes. General Scott will repair to Chicago, assume command of the forces, and direct the operations against the hostile Indians. By order, R. JONES, Adjutant General U. S- Army. The Baltimore Patriot observes, "There is no doubt the unfavorableness of the weath er during the past spring, has,"fiora exciting apprehensions of a failure in the crops, had a tendency to advance tho price of Flour and Grain. The great chanon whirh li-w taken place within a few days past, justifies the belief, however, that results will be much more favorable to tho coming crops than anticipated. A gentleman who has just returned from a tour through Virginia ana some parts ot Maryland, informs us that the Wheat in tho lower part of Virginia never looked better,- in some part3 of Maryland, it is true, the prospect was not so flat tering; out upon the whole, the crop promises to be a good one. The weather now is quite favorable also to the growth of Indian Corn." MARRIED—On Sunday, the 1st inst. by John Saltmarsh, esq. Mr. REUBEN HATHAWAY to Miss ELIZABETH CALLAHAN—all of this place.
