nCCOTGAW ROAD. Tba Commissioner tppointed by the General Assembly, to superintend the construction of the Michigan Road, begs leave to nEPORT : That on the 18th day of May last, having previously advertised the same, he commenced at the town of Madison, in letting the improvements at public sale, of such miles and parts of miles as in his opinion, would be most beneficial to the road, sod make the whole as near as practicable, equally passable; and continued on the sales from day to day, until the 12th of June, on which day he held the last sale at the Michigan City. From the situation of the contracts let last year, he work not being in that state of forwardness that was desirable in order to' let further contracts, but few contracts were taken north of Logansport. After arranging the accounts of the public sales, the Commissioner proceeded to further examine the road, and enter into such private contracts as would, in his opinion best forward the work. After putting such parts of the north end of the road under contract, he again returned south to Midison, and on the 22d of August commenced selling such further improvements as the funds at his disposal would seem to justify; and where from the nature of the improvements, they could not be described with sufficient accuracy for a public sale, private contracts were entered into, on such miles and parts of miles, as most required to be further improved, between Madison and Logansport; the Commissioner being desirous, if practicable, to have had the whole road made passable the present season, and especially, to have the smaller streams bridged, with good and substantial frame bridges, which he has the pleasure of informing the General Assembly, are generally completed ; so that, from Madison to lake Michigan, all the streams that were serious obstructions to travellers, are bridged, with the exception of White river, Wabash, Eel river, and Tippecanoe, and it will be for the General Assembly to determine, whether it will be more conductive to the public interest, to draw on the remaining part of the lands for the bridin of those streams, or to further improve the other pai ls of the road, by continuing the turnpiking and grading already commenced, and in some places in a state of progress which bids fair, so soon as the same becomes sufficiently settled, to make a good and passable road at all seasons. From the length of the road, and demand for laborers on other public words, together with the ! unfavourable weather in the latter part of the season for making speedy progress, but few of the contractors have completed their contracts. Many, from the nature of their contracts, through marshes, have been able to make but little progress. The General Assembly will determine what further indulgence would be proper to extend to contractors. The Commissioner has been in the practice of issuing the scrip to contractors as their work progressed, to enable them to goon with their contracts s their work progressed, to enable them togo on with their contracts, although by the law and the terms of the contract, he was not bound to issue any until the work was completed; but in many cases the work would have been stopped without such partial issues. The Commissioner on the first day of November, (on which day the contracts were to have been completed,) commenced at lake Michigan an examination of the road to the Ohio river; and found it necessary to measure the whole road, and ascertain the elevation of the hills, tohavs them gra

ded with accuracy; and for the further purpose of observing the progress of contractors, and to determine where and what further improvements were most needed for the ensuing year. From the press of business the Commissioner has had to attend to, in arranging and preparing the materials for his report, he has been unable to transcribe and arrange the field notes and observations then taken and made; but it is confidently believed they will contain much information that will bo useful to the Commissioner who may be elected and have the superintendence of the road hereafter. Paper A. herewith submitted, shows in tabular form, the amount of constracts entered into at the public sales, from Logansport, with a summary description of the imporvements on each mile or contract, the amount retained until the contracts shall have been completed. Paper B. is a similar description of the private contracts entered into on the same part of the'road. Paper C. is a similar description of the public contracts, between Logansport and Michigan City. Paper D. is a similar description of private con- . tracts on the same. By a reference to these papers it will be seen, that contracts were entered into at the public sales between Madison and Logansport, to the amount of $22,5SG 50, and at private sales to the amount of 4,000 4 5, and that scrip has been issued on the contracts at public sale to the amount of $18,276 44, and at private sale to the amount of $3,194 75, leaving a balance on the contracts between Logansport and Madison, to be issued, amounting to $5,172 06. Papers C. and D. will shew the amount of contracts entered into, between Logansport and Lake Michigan, with the amount of scrip issued thereon, and the amount remaining, &c. By which it will be seen that the whole amount of public and private contracts north of Logansport is $1 7,204 50. Scrip issued thereon, - - - $11,272 59 Scrip remaining to be issued, - - 5,934 92 By a comparison of the amount of contracts entered into, with the law under which the Commissioner acted, it will be seen that he has not contracted for the full amount authorised by law north of that point. He Was induced to nnnnn thi course from the anxiety of the public, to have the road made passible at all seasons, and in a state of as much forwardness as possible. From failure of the completion of last year's contracts, it was found impracticable to have more done this year than has been done; but the Commtssioner has the satisfaction of informing the General Assembly, that the contracts of last year are in such a state of forwardness, that the northern part of the road is opened throughout its entire length; and from the rapid improvements on the north end, can be advantageously prosecuted , and are much neeeded. PafesE., is a register of the serin vet remain ing to be issued on the contracts of last year. The 0134 00 on miles 76,48, and 96, North of ttadixoa, wss on contracts rescinded with tbt con-

sent of contractors, and more beneficial contracts

were entered into on said miles the present year. By the 4th section ofthe supplemental act, approved January 30th, 1833, the N. E. quarter and N. E. fraction of each section were directed to be sold for cash only, until the full amount be fully paid. In the month of July, the Treasurer of State notified the Commissioner, that the State debt was fully paid; and in order to render due justice to all the citizens of the State, he had a notice published in each newspaper printed in the State of Indiana, that on the 2d day of September ensuing, all lands could be purchased with scrip, thereby giving an opportunity of applying for those lots which had been reserved for cash only. The sales ofthe lands at t lie .office opened by the Comissioner, for the entry ofthe Michigan road lands, have exceeded his most sanguine expectations. By a reference to each quarter's return it will be seen that sales have been gradually increasing, through each successive quarter, until the commencement of the inclement weather, a few past. pArER F. will shew the number of acres sold in each quarter, by which it will be seen jhere have been sold since the last report, to wit: 29th November 1832, up to the 3d December 1833, 36,495 acres, amounting lo $15,610 75. By deducting the number of acres sold, from the quantity unsold at the time of last year's report, it will leave a balance of 65,004 33-100 acres for the further improvement of the road, subject however to the scrip unredeemed, and some few outstanding claims of Printer's bills &c. and the pay of the Commissioner, and Secretary, Auditor and Treasurer of State, which are to be paid from the road fund. Paper G, will show the amount of expenses in curred and paid this year, for stationary, clerk's hire, printers bills, surveyors and other incidental and unavoidable expenses. From the nature and extent of his public duties, requiring ihe whole of his time and attention on the road he has been under the necessity of having a clerk constantly at the office, to attend to the sale of lands, and making out and forwarding the quarterly returns of the register of certificates, to the Auditor, Treasurer and Secretary of State, which by law is made his duty. He has issued scrip for clerks services at the office to the amount of $194, up to the last day of September; since which time he has made no charge for clerk's hire at the office. This subject he respectfully refers to ihe attention of the General Assemhly, as the $750, allowed by the existing laws for clerk's hire and other incidental expenses, has been found insufficient to meet the unavoidable expenses which the Commissioner has been compelled to incur in the discharge ofthe various and complicated duties of his office. There yet remains to be selected two sections of land, to complete the entire Road Grant. The Commissioner opened a correspondence with the Surveyor General of the TJ. S. for the States of Ohio, Indiana and Michigan Territory, who replied, that the business was not under his control, bill suggested the propriety of waiting until the surveys of the U. S. land were completed in the district from which the selections were io be made; with which view ofthe subject the Commissioner concurs. In conclusion, the Commissioner would respectfully call the attention of the General Assembly to ihat part of said road that lies between the towns of Indianapolis and Greensburgh, in Decatur county, which was established on what was then called the Lawrenceburgh state road, without giving the Board of Commissioners who were organized for the remaining part of said road, any authority to take relinquishments from the proprietors of lands? through which the road passed, to the extent ofthe one hundred feet in width, as they were authorised between Greensburgh and Madison. And as the Lawrenceburgh state road was only 66 feet wide many are unwilling lo leave open more than that width, to the injury of other parts of the road; and in one instance, objections were made to erecting a bridge, on the ground of its not being at the proper place, which produced a suspension of the work, and on examination of the records of Decatur county for the change of said state road it was ascertained, that no order for a change from the old Lawrenceburgh state road had been made, by the Board doing county business in Decatur county. The old road of course was the proper route which was not opened. The Commissioner em ployed the County Surveyor of Decatur county, to survey the different routes, and by virtue of the discretionary power vested in him by the proviso at the close of section 17, of Ihe act relative to the Michigan road, approved February 2, 1822; unde which act he established the road as it was opened, by Solomon Turnip's house, and caused the bridge to be erected across Clifty at that place, as by the return, it was on the best ground and nine rods shorter than eitherof the other routes. The papers connected wilh this business, are recorded in the Commissioner s office, and a copy deposited in the Clerk's office in Decatur county. The originals will be filed in the office of the Secretary. of State, to be preserved with the other papers concerning me iviicntgan roan. All of which is respectfully submitted. Dec. 23d, 1833. WM.

i-Vom the Indiana Democrat of Jan. 11. GLORIOUS EIGHTH OF JANUARY. The anniversity of the victory of New Orleans, was celebrated on Wednesday last, by the citizens of Indianapolis and vicinity, and many members of the legislature, without distinction to party. At 12 o'clock, according to arrangement, a procession was formed by the Marshals, in front ofthe Mansion House and proceeded to the Methodist church, where, after an able prayer by the Rev. Mr. Rcter, an eloquent and interesting oration was delivered by Richard M. Jounsox, Jr. Esq. a copy of which has been procured for publication, and handed to U3bythe committee of arrangement; which will be given in our next. After the exercise at the church, the procession was again formed, and proceeded to the Mansion House where a sumptuous dinner had been provided.

It becomes our duty to record two ofthe most tremendous storms Ihat, with one or two exceptions, are on record: one on Saturday night last, and the other on Monday night, supposed to have been the most severe on the latter night: much more damage was done to the buildings in this vicinity. The tide is said to have been within six inches of the unprecedented high tide three years ago. Great damage has been done to shipping in the Bay, and fatal consequences to seamen, and many of those residing near the beach. The tide rose several feet above the Delaware Breakwater, sweeping off several houses that had been erected thereon and carried them completely over the beach, by which several lives were lost, beside five or six dead bodies that have corne asohre on the beach since the storm. There are said to be eleven vessels on the beach, among which is a ship and two brigs, all of which lay under the Bieakwater in supposed security, but the tide rising above it, they were entirely at the mercy of ihe tempest. What extent of damage they sustained, or number of lives lost, we have not been able to ascertain. Two vessels, we understand, were lost in the Indian river, one belonging to Mr. Mires Burton, commanded by Haslet Streets, a colored man, who was drowned, together with all on board. The vessel sunk with 600 bushels of Corn on board. The other vessel belonged to Mr. Vent, Captain

Morris whether th crew uortj lent or not we have not ascertained. Among the distresses that has come to our knowldge from residing adjacent lo the shore, is that of a black family residing in Slaughter neck, consisting of a man, his wife, grandmother and five children, all of whom were drowned but the man. His statement is truly distressing; he could not speak for several hours after his arrival at the nearest house, about a mile and a quarter distant from his residence. Upon the water breaking into the house, he and his family be come alarmed, got out of their beds and left the house without even dressing themselves. He said he first took up his grandmother and proceded some distance through the water which was nearly breast high, when he found his wife was about to give out, he left his grandmother and four children to die, and took up his wife and one child, but had proceded only a short distance, when ho ft-It himself sinking, and shook them off to die, when he succded with great difficulty in reaching the upland, having only strength left to crawl lo the nearest house. Considerable loss has been sustained in Cattle and Sheep, several firmers losing their entire stock. The furnace at Millsborough was put out on Saturday night, this being the third time that the fire has been thus put nut. We understand lint the Delaware Breakwater will have to be raised six feet higher than was anticipated, and before they will again venture to erect buildings on it. . Luminary.

From the LouiivHU Advertiser. Down to our las! dites nothing of importance had been done in either House of Congress except ihe reference ofthe Memorial ofthe Government Directors, and that of ihe Bank, to the Committee of Ways and Means ofthe House of liepresentatives. Mr. Taney's Report on the removal of ihe reposites, having been referred lo ihe Committee of the Whole, on the 19th, Mr. Polk moved to reconsider the vote, and a debate of two days ensued. The friends of ihe Bank wished to keep the Report before the Committee of the Whole, in order to obtain an opportunity to give vent lo their spleen, without risking a full and fair inquiry into the conduct of the institution. 1 he friends ofthe administration advocated a reference to the Committee of Ways and Means, with a view to insure a satisfactory investigation of the conduct of the Bank. The motion lo reconsider was carried by a vote of 124 lo 102. Mr. Polk then moved to refer the Report of Mr. Taney to the Committee of Ways and Means, when Mr. M'Duffie offered an amendment, proposing lo instruct a Committee to report a joint resolution, 'providing 'that ihe public revenue hereafter collected shall ajfecting tirades, which is thus happily described by the Globe of the 21st instant. 'This gentleman, (Mr. McD.) who took an oath against his present f riends, whom he onco called 'Ska Robbers and Outlaws,' and said, 1 solkmnly swear, i would rather, as a southern Planter, take my ch ance against all the PiT" M I I . .

He got pretty well through the Tyrants of Plutarch, in his comparisons, in his last day's eflort had taxed tho British history for its bloody Richard, and would probably have made considerable way in ihe French Revolution by th's time, if he had not been inter, ceptcd by a day of business. His fiery and furious gestures were very much in character with the phantoms that haunted his imagination. He mauled tho desk with his clenched fist, and threw his limbs in terrible disorder. A quiet gentleman from the east said he never had seen any thing lo equal him in emotion except a Connecticut washing-machine. One of Mr. McDuthVs greatest agonies was produced by tho thought of the Presi. dent's usurping a complete control over the public money. -Ho would rather have encountered Gen. Jackson at tho head of fifty thousand soldier?, linn lo have mot him with the public purse iu his hands'.! Tho taking the public purse out of Mr. Biddle's breeches pocket he considers the most awful calamity that has ever befallen the counlry. The unfortunate orator seems to have overlooked the circumstance, that the public money was quite as accessible to the Secretary of the Treasury and the President, in Mr. Biddlc's Bunk as in the State Banks.'1 From the Frankfort Argus. BRUTAL OUTRAGE. Extract of a letter from T. P. Moore, Esq. to a friend at this place, dated, Lexington, Gth January 1 S3 1. "My Dear Sir: reached this to night at 9 o clock, much fitigued, cold and heavily encum bered with clothes, and stepping into the passage was followed by bam. M. Brown, who called to me "are you not the Ex-Minister to Columbia?" As I turned to answer, not knowing who it was, he struck me a severe blow and then attempted to strike mo with a whip, but discovering that I was getting out a weapon, he closed with me, wrested the pistol from and snapped it at me, and then struck me a severe blow on the forehead with it which cut me severely. I drew out my knife and in ihe act of killing him, was caught and held, so that the knife only entered his body half an inch in two places, but not deep enough to do any injury." From the Switzerland Jlonitor. He who can read the following paragraph without a shudder of sensibility for suffering humanity and not feel one symptom of regret at the dograded situation of the black population ofourmtK country and calmly pass an act to prohibit the light of revelation, thro' ministers of the everlasting gospel, to ihe poor slave, must have had the kindlier fceling3 of affection withered, and the heart seared: South Carolina. A bill has passed ihe Senate, to prohibit the teaching of slaves or free persons of color to read or to write. Its provisions are very strong. Niles. "A white person teaching a slave or free person of color to read or to write is subject to a fine of 3100, and six months imprisonment, and a free person teaching, is subject to fifty lashes and a fine of $50, and a slave teaching will receive fifty lashes. No slave or free person of color is hereafter to be allowed to preach or lecture. No white person is to preach or lecture to slaves or free colored, except in the presence of not lets than three white slave holders."

Mr. L. B. D tfilet. agent f the colebrated MI

ami chief, Godfrey, passed through this placa Kossvillo, Ohio. in company with roQTJA, son oi Godfrey, on their return from Cincinnati to tho re idenceof the latter near Fort Wayne, Is. on Thursday, 7ih inst. They itopjwd at a public houia four miles west of ibis. A short lime after going to bed, Poqua cot upon some filse pretext, andpro vided himself with a dirk, from his saddle bags, sounded the accustomed war-whoop and stabbed Birtlet thru' ihe krm. Both instantly sprang to the floor, and a desperate struggle ensued the Indian still uttering Ins fearful yelU and occasionally wounding Birtlet. Tho noiso awakened a number of individuals who rushed into the room. Mr. Clendining, the landlord, entered first, with a candle : this ha struck out, and subbed Mr. C. iu ihe chest. Messrs. J. and W. M' Whine y next entered :th former of whom ho wounded in the shoulder; tht latter in the heel. A Mr. Hipcs next advanced: him be wounded in tho arm. Hiving lost bis dirk accidentally, h commenced with bis fists, and soon cleared th room, where he was blockaded until morning, when he quietly give himself up. Ho is now lodged in our county j ail. No adcqmto cause for his conduct has been assigned. Tho manner of the agent, Mr. B., towards him appears to bavo been invariably kind, and Poqua hai heretofore sustained a high character. It is supposed that none ofthe wounds r fitrtl though Mr. Clendining aiuTMr. Bartlet arc seriously injured the htler in five places. WVhive perused that part of Mr. Clay's speech which be delivered in the Senate on iho 3(llh nit. and which fill more than six columns ofthe National Intelligencer. At present wo are not pre pared to decide whether we ought lo lay it before our readers. That part of it which Ins reached us, is fir from being animated or argumentative; and wo may say it contains numerous unfounded assertions, and quite a variety of untenable positions, which tho orator attempts to sustain by a cold and coarse species of declamation unworthy of a Senator. The friends of Mr. Clay expected an effort on his pirt, on tho tleposita question, which would at least indicate bis competency to ride npon tho whirlwind anil diiect tho storm' but they have been sadly disappointed. He h lost tho ardor and tho animation of youth; his im nwination Ins grown dull, and his vanity Ins cvi dently increased as his intellectual powers declin cd. It may also bo remarked, tint hi J politicnl disappointments hnvo increased the natural triti ness of his disposition, and ho id consequently easily provoked to indulge in the abuse of thos who stand higher than he docs in tho estimation of h:S fellow citizens. Tho burden of tho penllmini Pong is th President removed tho depositcs without tho authority of law ihe act wag an oprn, palpable and daring usurpation. Ho compares the President loCrusarand Cromwell, and Mr. Tanev to a common hangman; but, having something of "method in his madness," be Ins not ventured to vindicate th conduct of tho Bmk.

The B;kers bcinjf ambitious lo extend their o-mains, declared that a revolution was needed, and although not exactly bread up to arms, soon reduced their crusty mis ters lo terms. Tho Jailors called a council of tha Board to determine what measures should be faken, and looking upon ihe Btkers ns wfourot chivalry, concluded to adopt them asn pattern, and follow suit. The consequence of which was, ihat an insurrection was lighted up among the Candlemakers, which, however tncfr-ed it might have appeared in iho ryes of some persons, developed irails of character not unworthy of ancient Greece. At this the Butchers became emboldened, and perceiving bow much they bad nt stale, declared ihey would bring down their employers upon their marrow-bones, or else would draw iheir hear? blood, upon which tho latter looked rather sheep ish, and began lo draw n their horns The ShoemnkoT9.fndinghov a iho other trades wern moving, began lo wax warm in I ho cause, declaring upon tlHr souls ihat ihey would not bo tho last to follow in Ihe footsteps of iheir predecessors, and ihat they would strap Iheir masters until they should make them as pliable as dog skin.
