' Prodicrlo'is. The States-rnin intimates that we went clear to Brookville to injure him. Wc have more respect for ourselves than to attempt any such thing.
The editor of the Statesman informs his reader , ibat on seeing the last Palladium he was seized with a violent fit of shuddering, (nind staggers, we suppose,) and "turned away, loathing the sight of the hlemished glory of the world." The editor is famous for tropes and figures, hut this tiling of likening the Palladium to the "hlemished glory of the world rather exceeds any we have seen. The canvass for governor and lieutenant governor is orogressing with much warmth in Kentucky. John Breathitt and Benfn Taylor are the candidates on the side of Jackson, and Mr. Bucknerand Moreheadon the side of Mr. Clay. The reform hill has finally passed both houses of parliament of England, by a large majority. Fmrjs. We have learned verbally that

The communication from Mr. Cotton, we should observe, was received before our last
paper was issued, but owing to the crowd of
other matter, was excluded. Another article from his pen, and some other communications are laid over for the present.
Some person has undertaken in yester
day's Statesman to animadvert on some of
the votes given by the representatives from thi3 county in the last legislature. So far as we are concerned, we are ready and willing that any vote we gave shall undergo the severest investigation ; and only regret that the writer, who now appears to question our course on two or three questions, had not thought proper to present himself at an earlier period, and given us a fair chance for investigation. But waving, however, the reasons we might urge against this mode of proceeding, we will notice the writer's ob
jections t our vote in favor of a law to prohibit the circulation of bank bills below the
denomination of five dollars.' lhe writer
pretends to consider this as a monstrous
law, but forgets, or perhaps does not know, that half, if not more, of the states have passed just such a law to guard and protect the interests of their citizens. For every dollar of paper money circulated in our state, one in specie is taken away so that we are no richer have no more money, by receiving the small bills of other states in payment for our produce j nor will our farmers receive one cent more for their wheat, corn, or pork paid in $1 bills, than in specie or $5 bills, which are not prohibited by the law. So that on the score of profit there is nothing gained b encouraging the circulation of small bills of other states, but on the contrary much general loss may be incurred by the failure of the banks from which they issue. Are these bills convenient for change? We say no. Whenever the sum comes below $5, specie is always the most convenient, and should be the common circulating medium. The bank of the United States issues no notes below $5, considering them small enough for public convenience and we have heard no desire expressed that she should issue smaller. If the reasoning of the writer in the Statesman be correct, and there is a real necessity for the circulation of on dollar notes for change, then there is an equal necessity for the issue of half dollar, quarter and twelve cent notes. But the people have had experience enough we think in this particular not to desire this kind of money. They have had enough of "shin plasters" to satisfy them, that it would be bad policy to encourage their circulation, to the exclusion of specie. Col. Warren Tebbs, it will be seen by the following note, has declined standing a poll for she rill, at the ensuing election. The withdrawal of all the candidates on the other side of the question but one, led to a general belief that the same course should be pursued on the part of the friends of the administration. No one was more fully convinced of its propriety than the Col., and he !
readily embraced the first opportunity of
accommodation, to signify his willingness to withdraw, on grounds honorable to himself, and satisfactory to his friends. And now, contrary to the wishes of our opponents, who indulged the hope that a chasm was made in the Jackson ticket, in regard to slierilF, which could not be closed, we feci warranted in saying that the CoL will cordially co-operate with his old friends at the ensuing election.
by Mr. D. himself, and can easily be refuted
by the testimony of Mr. Dils's neighbors, who have had an opportunity of knowing his course in politics for years past. One thing is very certain, that the whole story of Mr. Dils not being a decided friend of the present administration, certificates and all, originated with the enemies of Gen. Jackson, and have been propagated through the county by them. Stories emanating from such a source, should be suspiciously viewed, and thoroughly examined before they are believed. This much at least is due to justice to Mr. Dils. We do not wonder that the friends of Mr. Clay, and even Mr. Gregg himself, should use these tales against Mr. Dils; but would be astonished to find the friends of the administration accepting them at their hands without a thorough inquiry into their truth. Now is the time to act with caution, for it will be but slim consolation to learn after the election that Mr. Dil3 was defeated through a too great credulity on the part of his friends. To the Editor of the Statesman. Sir: Will you have the politeness to inform William Dils, candidate for sheriff, through the medium of your paper, that Milton Grecg has obtained certificates, certifying that he, Dils, intended supporting1
IIexry Clay, at the ensuing election for
President; and if he does not clear this charge we, the voters of Dearborn county,
will net support him at the ensuing election.
July 2d, 1832. A Voter.
Mr. Editor: In vour paper, of the Gth
inst. I discovered an article, signed "A Vo
tor," stating that Mr. Gregg had certificates, certifying that I intended supporting Henry
Clay, at the ensuing election for President
Without stopping to enquire whether Mr. Gregg has any such certificates, or who it is
that covertly assails me, I consider it enough
to say, that 1 never used the language lm
putcd to me, that I never authorized any
person to represent, that 1 would support
Mr. day at the ensuing, or any other elec
tion and that I never intended nor do I
now intend to support him. The certifi
cates alluded to by A Voter, as possessed by Mr. Gregg, do not state that I ever said
I was in favor of Mr. Clay, but are very in
geniously worded to convey that idea by the
gentleman obtaining them; and are much after the style of the celebrated receipt for
slander, in which Mr. Green's wife, heard,
VVigffin's wile reckon, that Snook's wife
heard? John Stike's wife suppose, that Billy
Gookin's wife was no better than she should be. No one likes to father a lie, but when
it is thought necessary to resort to the ex
pedient of putting one afloat, it is generally in such a way as to leave a hole to creep
out at. So with the certificates. They first give the supposition, of one man that I was not a friend to General Jackson's administration, and then try to prove it by the subsequent conversation of the same person.
I protest against this mode of making a charge and sustaining it. If my friends, or my enemies, think proper to suppose this thing or that thing of me, I wish it to be so understood; and I take this occasion to say, that I do not hold myself responsible for the opinions of any person but my own. Whenever Mr Gregg, or those who are acting with him, to lessen me in the estimation of
those whose good opinion I shall ever be proud to merit, shall think proper to charge me directly with abandoning my political friends, or opinions, then, and not till then, shall I feel myself bound to defend myself, or respond to him or them. Respectfully, WILLIAM DILS.
Indian War! Latest. By the Galenian of the 4th inst. we learn that two men were murdered at Cincinaway Mound, 10 miles from Galena on the 29th June. Their names were James Boxley and John Thompson. The Indians were pursued by Major Stevenson, but made their escape across the Mississippi. General Ashley has commenced his march on the east side of Rock river and is moving with about 1800 men to the Four lakes. Large trails of Indians, supposed to be reinforcements from the west of the Mississippi, have been recently discovered between Buffalo and Kellogg's grove, A battle may soon be expected. Indiana Democrat.
pearancc, and upon the arrival of the forces, three hundred Indians commenced the attack upon our small battalion three expresses started to Head Quarters at Dixon's ferry for powder before General Posey arrived. It i3 also stated upon the authority of Colonel Hamilton, that about S00 Indians are on their way here, or in this direction. If this information is true, we will have a reinforcement to morrow. Major Dement has, it is said, displayed great bravery and management upon this occasion. Lieutenant Eving was wounded through the thigh, and rode from the block house to Dixon's ferry, (12 miles) before his wound was dressed. I have not heard who was out on this expedition from Vandalia, but am clad our bovs have had a chance for scalps. But few of our men were killed in the block house three only, and but two before they reached. The Indians have been much worsted ; eight are said to have been killed by our retreating armv. ml Governor Reynolds was at Dixons when the express left there last evening. Afterther expresses started, Sergeant Hewet, of the regulars, informed them that another express had arrived, giving information of the retreat and discomfiture of the enemy, who was pursued by our troops. The Indians are now in a situation as precarious as it can be. It is an onen
country from Buffalo Grove to their upper encampment and as much so in this direction. They have no chance for escape, except in joining Keo-kuck, or the friendly Foxes, west of this place. Those Indians
are now upon a hunting expedition, at least they procured a small quantity of ammunition from the traders on this Island, a short time since for that purpose. That these Indiais have every disposition to be friendly I have no doubt; but that they should continue so is next to impossible, (in my opinion.) In the first place their brothers, relations and friends, are out with Black Hawk, and our people are so much incensed against them that every opportunity will be resorted to, calculated to excite and insult them. I have
several times lately had an opportunity of
hearing Keo-kuck converse. He is a man of great discrimination and judgment. He expressed his conviction of the abortiveness of an Indian war against the white people, and knows how to appreciate the r.due of our friendship. He is not willing to give up the annuities from our government, or be compelled to abandon the fine country they inhabit. Major Beall, the commandant at this post, as well as Major Richer, the
acting agent, deserve great credit for their
management of the friendly Indians. If
the six hundred warriors who live on the op
posite side of the river should not go to war
with us, and fine, brave looking Indians they
are, it will be owing to the judicious management they have met with at this post. Ma
jor Beali (the management of the Indians
having been devolved upon him by the death of the former Indian agent, Mr. St. Vrain) has had a great deal to encounter;
but his discreet management has trium
phed so far over the indiscretion and violence of the whites; but I am satisfied that
he himself fears that all his exertions will prove abortive.
P. S. Another battle has been fought at
Apple river,- in which Black Hawk commanded about 150 Indians in person. The few men in the engagement acted bravely and kept the fort; but the Indians got possession
of the cattle, horses, and flour they had on hand; only one of our men was killed and one wounded.

Mr. D. V. Cullkv, Sir You will please to maku known to the citizens of Dearborn county, that I have declined being a candidate for sheriff. WARREN TEBBS. Harrison, July 25, 1S32.

LATEST INDIAN NEWS. We have received an Extra from the office of the Vandalia Whig, dated July 5th, in which is given an aecount of an engagement between three companies of General Posey's Brigade, commanded by Major De
ment, and about .300 Indians. The following extract from a letter from a gentleman in the army to his friend at Vandalia, gives the following particulars, which are believed to be correct. Additional reports agree that between 50fcand 60 horses were shot by the Indians. lb. Rock Island, June 25, 1832. An express from the army up Rock river has just arrived, and informs that three companies one of which was commanded by Captain or Major John Dement, had an engagement on the day before yesterday with about 300 Indians that our troops were compelled to return to the block house at KelloggTs old place, lately occupied by Major Riley, of the United States Army that they had been engaged in battle for several hours, when they were reinforced by the brigade commanded by General Posey, and the Indians were compelled to retire. The rangers in the block house were almost out of ammunition when General Posey arrived with his reinforcement. In the first place, an escort of safety had been sent from the bck house with two Mr.1 Wells, who at some distance met one Indian, who endeavored to decoy them into ara-
ATTEMPT AT REVOLUTION IN PARIS. "An attempt at revolution has been made in Paris, which has been quelled. The first breaking out was at the funeral of Gen.
Lamarqua on the 15th June. Splendid preparations were made, to do the last honors to the remains of the distinguished General. The procession, after having passed through several streets, arrived opposite to to the Pont d'Austerlitz, where a scaffold, hunsr with black, and decorated with numerous flags, had been prepared to receive the body, while the speeches on the occasion were delivered. Here an immense crowd wa? assembled, which interrupted a part of the ceremonies. Gen. Lafayette addressed the people, and implored them not to sully the solemnity of the day by any acts of discord or illegality. The rest is told in Gallignani, of the 0th June." The account goes on to give details of varl ou3 encounters between the rioters and the guards, and, in conclusion, says "At the Pont Notre Dame, opposite the Rue des Arces, a severe contest took place between tlx; insurgents and the National Guard of the latter, many were killed. Several battalions of the line were sent to their aid the insurgents fled to No. 30, Rue St. Martin Here General Substantiana arrived, and all the insurgents capitulated. Galignani of the 7th says "Paris is tranquil." The King rode through many of the streets during the day, and was well received bythe people. Various proclamations had been issued by Government.
Paris was placed under martial law. Various arrests had taken place, including many persons of high standing. The less of lives
had not been exactly ascertained, but the number reached many hundreds. Business had resumed its wanted activity. The
Carlists are supposed to have been the instigators of this aifair. The Duchess of Ber
ry was in the west, and had declared herself Regent of France, but several of the departments were declared under martial law, and no danger was anticipated. The stocks-had recovered from their fall."
