mysteries of Indianapolis Indianapolis, externally, is the roost moral and most religious town in Indiana, if not in the whole West. The straitlacedness of Connecticut would be put to the blush of shame and confusion by the professed puritanism of this Capital: Nevertheless, the maxim that "extremes always meet," accras to be verified by the incidents of the last week ; as well as the fact, thai the morai Influence of a dozen churches is not sufficient to check the vicious propensities of a population not exceeding fire thousand. The fact is, while the rascalities of respectable rascals are passed over in alienee, the developments of vulgar illany will grow proportionately bold. This has been exemplified by the incidents of the part week. It never rains but it pours," says the proverb. Since the murder of the 4th, we have had a perfect deluge of past and present iniquity brought to light. A series, of bold and audacious robberies has been perpetrated during the last year or two, which we have been long convinced were perpetrated by an organized gang. No efforts, however, of any account, have been made to effect a discovery, until the robbery of Hedderly's Lard Oil and Candle Factory. He advertised a reward of ten dollars fur the thieves, and took other measures for their detection, and the result

is the discovery of a gang of young scamps, some of

them not generally euspected of any evil, but who have probably long been engaged in their thievish vo

cation. Some particulars will be found under the po

lice head.

But bad as these developments are, they hare led to

incidents trill more astonishing. The dark and drea

ry vaults or catacombs, underneath the State House, it seems, have been orie of the receptacles of the

gang and its plunder ! It was here probably, that the plunder robbed from the State House, two

years ago, immediately after the adjournment Was

secreted. But these dark and dismal recesses were

not only receptacles of stolen goods, and literally

den of thieves : in searching for the stolen goods on

Monday last, the astounding disclosure was made,

that a female had been kept for three weeks in one of

those vaults, where, it is supposed by some, she had

been confined, and had buried the fruit of her shame !

Words are inadequate to describe the sensation pro

duced by such a discovery ! The Capitol of the vir

tuous people of Indiana prostituted to such vile uses !

Üie Fountain or the Law corrupted at its very

source ! There now lie the slimy and rotting vi

ands, upon which these creatures subsisted and celebrated their infernal orgies ! The stench was worse than that of a charnel house', and it is wonderful that it had riot long since attracted bolts of lightning "red

If the Journal forces us to it, it shall soon learn which of the candidates are to be taten to tdsk for want of education. We will also take the liberty of adding, without Mr. Webber's knowledge, that we have no doubt that the editor himself can be accommodated with a discussion of principles whenever its suits his convenience, even

by the plain farmer whom he sneers at as writing speeches. We also think it improbable, to say the least, that our candidates will ever, when presenting

by considerations of the public good. Perhaps the J

public will gain by the reduction of postage, even if some offices should be discontinued altogether.

Too bad I The Journal thinks Mr. Foley "intelligent enough to make a respectable membtr of Congress, should he be elected." So Mr. Foley is not intelligent enough to nidke a respectable member of Congress, should he not be elected ! This is punishing him severely for insisting on the honor of being beaten, when the Journal folks wanted to kill off another great man. Thank them for it, Foley ; and thank them that in their zeal they did not rriake a typographical error in your name. - . "We submit whether, . it would not be as well to try a new man ! Let the pple put into flrfieffee the long preached doctrine of rotation In office.'" Indiana Journal. ,

This is very good doctrine. But how finely the Whigs lived up to it, when they nominated Gov. Wallace and Mr. Harris for the Legislature ! How

fconsciencious was the editor when h3 hailed their

nomination with unbounded joy ! A very good doc

trine, say we ! Let the people act upon it. Let the

Whigs act upon it It is good advice from their ac

If he removes one, it is proscription. What wiTI

Battery, the bells of the churches were tolled, and the j iNational flag was everywhere displayed at half

or the free descendants of Africans, who have emigrated from this country, purchased a soil, established

Government, and sought a national existence in

Africa. The enterprise that has placed them there is not a.c&tional one,- or ifi any form1 a Government one.

Ihe lommerciaj Advertiser intimates that out Gov

which we st,ood towards these colonies. Ihe late

d ministration, through Mr. Upshur,, disclaimed All

authority over these distant people,' or any national connection with them, or any relation bot that of a

friendly interest; It is claimed by the British Government that thefe ü'ncSn'owledged creations 6T our citt?ens are not entitled to a separate and national existence ; and the attempt of the Liberian Government to enforce its cuetprtl hcm'sö fows upon an English Trader hag beert rebuked and punishfed by th capture of a colonial vessel by a British man-of-war. A controversy with England, if controversy it can. be called, must soon end in the surrender of its national existence by the colony, and in this is involved the abandonment of all rights to establish customs and. revenue laws, to impose conditions on the intercourse of strangersc' tnalnta In treaty? with neighboring tribes and to! enforce them and protect its own independence, by arms. rj, , .

No War. The N. Y. Morning News speaks of the arrival of intelligence to that city, in relation to our affairs with Mexico, which affords assurances of a most pacific character.' it is informed that the

British minuter has assured our government the appointment of an' ambassador to Mexico would be fav- j crably regarded by Mexico. It will be recollected that neither government is represented. at the, other, the Mexican minister at Washington having withdrawn all diplomatic intercourse immediately after the passage of the Texan resolutions, and Air. Shannon having returned' home to receive the congratula tioiis of the republic ot the results of his .wonderful diplomacy. The English or, French,. embassies at Mexico and Washington have tl:ercure .been, the only medium of intercourse between the two semi-belligerent nations. The acknowledgment of Texan independence, cuts off all pretext on the part of Mexico for a war or for complaint of injustice against this country ,'cn accourt of annexation. There is not now the smallest chance for a reasonable quarrel. Santa' Anna's banishment, it appears, is not for ten years, but perpetual his officers for ten years.

nervous energy of the system by constant excitement, in action aud reaction, to throw out, in the shape of

The ordinary Inode of bandaging is not oidy tedious, but to a great degree ineflectoaL' L. Compress Stockings, variously fabricated in, th;s country, are quite defective. Tbree years ago, says the editor of the Albany

Evening Journal,) we obtained through our friend, Doct. Alex. S. Watson, of ISew York, the Wire Compress Stocking, manufactured by Messrs. Scholbred &. Co. This, though much better than anything we bad then found, was not without its defects ; and when in London, two years ago, we called upon the manufacturers in Germyn street, explained the de

fect, and awaited 11 r. Scholbred's effort to obviate the difficulty, id a new Compress which he made for us with great care. But the effort, was not successful though we continued to wear his Stocking, without which we should have been quite unable to perform daily peregrinations of from five to ten miles, in

In Paris, following the direction of an advertisement in Galignani8 Messenger, which directed us to f jNo. 25, Kue des Avcis," we found Monsier Flamet, who manufactures "Eas Elastiques." This is an; Elastic Compress Stocking, knit precisely like other stockings, except that the yarn is of India Rubber. These Stockings, which only reach to the knee, or come up. to the hipl, as required, while they adjust themselves pleasantly to the limb, afford a suiheient e.nd equable pressure. They are drawn on and off almost as easily -as other stockings. They are, indeed, just what was wanted for "Varicose Veins. Cjesarean Operation. It is stated tbat Dr. Shipmali, of Cortlandville, N.

"Tp-day, being the anniversary of Waterloo, and the first. appearance of thq new General, every thing was done in the militarj jline that, coul,d be invented,. At 11 o'clock all the troops of the vicinity were in the field. They exercised about three hours, and at the request of the General, went through an imitation of the battle of Waterloo. It was a grand spec tacle. ...Seteral officers were present who were at Waterloo, whq vvore evergreens in their caps, and also one of the regiments that was in the field that day the colors of fthich were dressed in evergreens. The same regime U of Highlanders was present that, was at New Orleans. But one man among them was in that battle. The latter is.. the regiment that was so cut up and nearly every man shot in the field. But what was. still more singular, there is but one. man in tbe.
