From the Goshen Democrat. Indiana St tie Debt. Letter from M. G. Bright, Esq. We take pleasure in laying before our readers the following communication from Mr. Lrifjht, State Agent, to the Hon. Samuel T. Cljruier, of this place, on tiie subject of our Stale Debt. As the session of the Legislature approaches, it i propar that the subject should be brought before the people and their representatives, to enable them to take intelligent action on the matter. We concur heartily in the Ticws of the letter, and in the propriety ef issuing a 21 instead of 5 per cent, stock, on the principle that it is right for the State to avail herself of every honorable advantage given her by the bill. In no event should more be conceded to the Bondholders, whatever their clamor, than they have already obtained. If they accept the terms of thearranjemcut. it will be our duty

faithfully to carry them into effect ; if they reject : them, let them abide by the consequences. New Yoik, Augnst 10, 1SJ6. ! tlosr. S. T. CtTMca My dear Sir: Would you like to 1 know whtt i doing in reference to our Public Debt ? I take it for granted that yoa would, from the interest you mini, fetted in the subject last winter; and though you and I differ in oar views, it wi to honest difference, and form a good excuse for writing you ; which I r!o with pleasure. The probabilities are that the act of last session will be acceded to. Mr. Butler has now gone to Europe, on the pecial invitation of our bond-holders, and is expected back about the first of October. We hall soon know, after his return, the fate cf the measure. Io the meantime, I bare little doubt, that the teitns we have proposed will be substantially agreed to ; from the simple reason, that half a lof is better than no bread ! I lay substantially mj opinion U that our creditors will take the act j utt as it is. it they can do no better t but I have reason to soppose, from a "Circular of Mr. Butler's mrrenf news, (a copy of which I send you.) that they will come to us next session, asking amendments and modifications. So far as these may te necessary to carry out the principles of the measure, there can be no reasons for withhol Jing them j but if the bondholders should desire a change of the main features of the act, so as to add one iota to the responsibilities of the State or to secure to themselves, in any way, any greater advantages than are already given to tbern, their propositions should be promptly, and 1 would hope, unanimously rejected. Enough is yielded to then already ; as much, under all the circumstances, as justice requires -as much as we have the ability t perform j and more ought not either to be asked or granted. In this CiicuUr of Mr. Duller it is taken for granted, that the debt will be ditidei in the first instance, into tit o equal parts, and that the State, assuming one part at 5, will throw upon the cantl the other part, at the same rate of interest. I do not so understand the law. The 1st section of the act requires that, on the surrender of a bond, a certificate shall be issued for the entire principal at 2.J per cent., redeemable at our pleauie, reservin to the State, by the 32, the right at any time afterwards of so changing this certificate, as by assuming half the pr incipal at 5, to Ihiow the other half into the canal But the stock to be issued in the first instance must be in conformity with the Cist section cf the met, for tie entire principal at 2J per cent., and cannot be changed, without the subsequent cousent and d rection of the Legislature ; the act, as it paed, contemplating that the State should, for the present at least, continue responsible for the entiie principal of the debt at 2$ per cent., and that the bondholders (havin finished their canal, &c.,) should look to it for the other 2j, with a reservation, in favor of the State, of the right (whenever she may choose to exercise it) of changing the character of the debt, so as tobe liable for only one half by agreeing to pay 5 per cent, upon it j the canal becoming respor.sible for the other talf, at the same rate of interest. Ought this chiage to be made ? If it were a mere mitter cf form, the question would be unimportant but it is a matter of substance, affecting as I think, the very vitals of the measure, and if the Stare permit it to be d ne, in my opinion, a very decided advantage. The time may come, pjsifcly, when it will be unimportant, if money ever get, on this continent, to be worth a mere nominal per cent. ; but as long as it is worth 5, 6 and 7 per cent., as at present, it is essentially for the interest of the State to issue 2 J per cent, st ck for the whole, instead of a 5 per cent, for half the debt. This, I will endeavor to explain. Under this act the debt, being never dcmandable (though always redeemable) the value of the stuck will depend, nor at all upon the principal sum named in the certificate, but upon the income available from it. A 2 j per cent, stock never does, cannot certainly be worth in any mirket moie than half as much a a 5 per cent, stock of ihe same character. Now, if we i-sue a new 5 per cent, stock for half the debt, that stock will always be woith say pjr, (or double what a per cent, stock would be,) and it will require par J to redeem it: whereas, if we issue a 2j per cent, stock for I tbe whole, this slock, producing an income of only half the other, will be worth only half as much ; or, say 5 per cent, of its par, and we could buy it in at 5 per cent., or half what it would require to redeem the other. So far as dollars and cents are concerned then, it would be Ihe same thing to the State, whether we issue a 5 per cent, stock for half, 0r a 2J stock for the whole; but here would be the difference and guin to the State. By issuing a 2 j per cent, stock, when we have bought it all in at say 5 per cent, (as we will be able to do. and have the right to do,) the trust create I by this act will become extinguished, and the eaual, wi h all its appurtenances, will revert back to and become again the absolute r-ropeity of the State; whereas, if we i-sue a 5 per cent, stock for hair, it will cost say par to redeem it, (the same money that would have bought the whole, if it had been a 2i per cent, stock,) and after we have redeemed it, we shall be as far from the ownership of the canal again, as when we first commenced paying. After that, if we ihould want the control of tbe canal, (and we ought to have it, though ever so unproductive,) we shall have to buy it (the canal stock) tbe best way we can j and all we may hive to pay for it will be just so much more than w ould have been necessary, bad we issued 24 per cent, stock. TbU is on the suouosi. tion that tbe canal is unproductive of tevenue ; and that it will be is your opinion, I believe, and that, I kn iw. of very vr many intelligent men io our State. I am not awaie of any similar woik in the Western State, doing only the business of the country along its bordets, that yields more than defrays the eunent expenses of repair and attendance. We are often referred in argument to the great Hud on and Erie Canal; but that work is occupied to its utmost capacity, doing the carrying, trade, not only cf the adj icent country, but of northern Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Michigan, and the Canadas, to boot. The same attendance and repairs would be necessary if it only did the business of the country along its border and all it does over that is, to its revenues, so much clear gain. There will be nothing in our canal to attract distant traie. The trade along i s line will be forced into it, nolens volens t but the distant trade will be free to choose between ours, and the Illinois Canal, the Ohio Canal, and the Pennsylvania Canals, and there can be little doubt where it will go. It will certainly avoid that route which is longest, and of course the most tardy, and at the same time, most expensive. I would not have you understand from this, that I am opposed to the canal ; far fre-n it I consider it a work of great importance, involving the growth and prosperity of the State. By cheapening the cost of transportation, and thereby enhancing the value of our products, it must facilitate the settlement, and add very greatly to the wealih of the State. Though not one dollar of revenue were ever to be derived from it, still it should be finished. It was never undertaken with a direct reference to revenue; but for the put pose of encouraging the labor, hastening the settlement, and devel oping tbe resources of tbe country, by opening a cheap outlet for its surplus products. But to return to the main subject should the canal, contrary to our expectations, tain out to be productive, (and it is to he hoped it may, as indicating the prosperity of tbe country,) still it would be best to issue a two and a half per cent, stock for the whole interest, instead of a fire per cent, stock for half the debt. There could be nothing lost by it ; and It would be time enough to change it, at some future peiiod, when it should be found, by the cheapness of money or from other causes, that it was for tbe iuteiest or convenience of the State to do so. I have thus far assumed that oar new stock, if a fire per tent, will be worth par, it a two and a half per cent., half par. Bui tnrs win not oe tue case. Money, on this continent is, an J always has been, and for a long period longer j than yoa and I slall live will continue tj be worth, not less fbao six per cent., and from that to ten. Tbe slocks of j most of the States all aiound us Ohh, Kentucky, Illinois and Michigan, are mostly six and seven per cent., and though i 'some of them, Kentucky for example, are undoubted, they 1 do aot command par. Kentucky lias some few nve per cent; bat they are only worth 75 per cent of their par. ven the stacks of the great State of New York, whose credit is as unquestionable as public credit can be, are mostly liz per cent and some of them seven. It is true that now and then an instance occuis, wbeie m ney is borrowed for abort periods at less than six per cent., but this is very rare, and only when the loan is upoa sired terms, as to be about the same thinj to the lender, as if be still bad the money in bis pockets. You are aware that many of our stocks, when in the zenith of oar credit, were sold at 63 per cent. This was because, on arithmetical calculation, it was ascertained that at that price, the fiva per ceot. which the bonds would draw, taking into view the lime they bad to run, would be just equal to six per cent, on the a:nouot of the investment. It may therefore be assumed that money in this country is worth at least six per cent., and so Ion as such coutinues to be the an Indiana five per cent stock cannot be worth over $33 33 per cent, or a two and a half per cent (lock over $il 66J per cent. Thus 5 Der cent, on 4100 is $5 00 6 rei cent on $S3 331 U 5 00! 2 J per cent, on $100 is 2 50 6 per cent on $41 66 J is 2 60 It is human nature to make the most we cm cut of our money. A man therefore, having money to invest, would just as soon buy New Yoik, Kentucky or Ohio six per cent, jtorts at par, as Indiana two and a half stocks at jijncoroe in either case being precisely nrer'.lc uil 1 V.J J ' wnouai invesieu. tne cuustijucuce uiuii be, that the market value of our stocks, (if we issue at two and a half per cent.,) will be about $11 6(i ta be added to, however, in proportion as the net income of the canal (if any) ball add to the interest to be paid by the State i and I look forward to the day not very distant in tbe life of a community, when with $41 66 to 50 per cent, of the par, we, shall have brought in and extinguished the debt of Indiana. In anticipation of such a glorious result, I was in favor of the act of last winter, and further reflection has tut. strengthened the conviction, that the policy then adopted, was, under all circumstances, the best for the State. I am not unaware that yon entertained, and perhaps yet bold a different opinion j but differences of opinioo are tolerated, 0 long as they are honest. They ooght not, and so fr a$ regards mjielf, canDot, nor rer lhall occiiwa inj aliena

tion of personal regard. In all the spirit of friendship and frankness, we may combat each other's views with such arguments, pro and con, as the subject suggests, but to me it would be a most painf j reflection to soppose, that this must result io personal difference. 1 cannot help saying ibis much here, from a sad conviction that I incurred the enmi'y of some of my political friends, by my course on this subject last winter. I could not avoid it. My official connexion with our indebtedness forced me into Ihe matter, and constrained me to take a part, willing or not; and being compelled to act, my judgment dictated the course I pursueJ ; nor have I at all regretted it, except so far as regards the friendships that I lost. Your obedient servant, M. G. BRIGHT.

From the Union. Fkcm tiie IIo.ms Squadron. Letters from Commodore Conner of os late date as the 30th July, have been received at the Nivy Dr-partnienL The crews of the d.fferent ships of the squadron continue healthy, with tiie exception of a case or two of scurvy. The Porpoise arrived at Vera Cruz on the ISth July. The Tetrel reached that port n the Ulst, after a passive of 23 diys from New Vurk ; and the Uonito arrived on the 2dth. On the morning of the 2-t.i, before daylight, .Midshipman Wingate Filsburjr, of Maine, and Michael Flinn, seaman, both of the steamer .Mississippi, were drowned by the upsetting; of the launch of that vessel. Neither of the bxlics had been recovered. A town in the neighborhood of Jalapt had pronounced against the government of Taredea, and in Favor of Santa Anna and federalism. One of the chiefs was the secretiry of legation to Almonte, when minister to France. The principal chief, Jose Arrillajro, is the particular friend of Santa Anna, and said to be a man of energy and ability. At first, the movement was considered of little importance ; but it has since increased in consequence, and, from present appearances, there is tea son to believe it will become general throughout the department of Vera Cruz. Intelligence had also been received at Vera Cruz, a late as the 21st, from Mexico, of some importance. The government troops sent to quell the insurrection in Jalisco have been totally defeated at Guadalajara by the proninriiidt, and their commander, (General Arevallo) killed. The departments of Queretaro and Zicatecas have pronounced ngainst the government, but not, as is supposed, in connection with Santa Anna. Except with a portion of the army, it is said that this gentleman is not popular in the country. The federalists have no confidence in his present professions; and without their aid, it is believed, he could not sustain himself at the head of the government for any length of time, even if his friends could succeed in having him recalled. It is diiTicult to conjecture what effect these events may have on our relations with Mexico. Should they lead to a change of government which is not improbable the party coming into power will likely ofll-r propyls of peace, as we learn from a source deserving of credit that euch is the desire of many of the most influential men in Mexico. A close blockade of the coast, however, and a vigorous prosecution of the war, seem the meat obvious means of bringing them to terms. On the 'list July, Congress passed a law granting commissions to privateers. Alvarado, Zecoluta, Zaspam, and Ste La Marina, have been declared ports of entry. These ports will be included among those already blockaded. Gen. Uravo declined acting ns president of the republic on his arrival in Mexico. Congress, however, refused his resignation, and he has since accepted the appointment. (Jen. Taredes was to have left Mexico on the 27th for the northern frontier. It i generally supposed that he will not take that direction. It is stated that some regiments, amounting in all to 1400 men, have marched from the city. It is lelicved they wire intended to reinforce General Arevallo at Guadalajara. "United States Ship Cumberland, Off Vera Cruz, Ju'y 30, IS 10. Sir Shortly after closing my letter of the 23th instant, the Cumberland, Potomac, and two of the schooners, sailed from Green Island, for the purpose of attacking the enemy's vessels in the river of Alvarado. In passing through the channel leading to the roads of Antonio Lizardo, I regret to inform you this ship, owing to a strong current, ran on the northwest part of a coral reef, called the Chopas, in three fathoms water. This was about half past 4 o'clock in the afternoon of the 23th. After great exertions, and lightening her more than a foot by pumping off the water, removing the provisions and shot to the other vessels, and depositing most of the spar deck guns on a ßhoal part of the reef near the vessel, (whence they can be easily removed,) with the assistance of the Mississippi, she was finally extricated from her perilous position about 8 o'clock, p. m., on the 29'h, after grinding in the coral reef for upwards of twentyseven hours. With the exception of her false keel, of which some crushed fragments roe to the surface of the water alongside, the ship does not appear to have sustained any material injury, as she makes no more water than usual. It is reasonable to infer, however, that much of the copper oa the bottom has been rubbed off." 'I am, very respectfully, "Vour obedient servant, 'D. CONNER." "Commanding Home Squadron. "Hon. George Bancroft, "Secretary of the Navy." The Mexican War. The Washington Union says of the Camargo letter, copied from the Baltimore Argus, conveying intelligence of the approach of Gen. Fa redes towards Monterey and of his arrival at San Luis Totosi, with 80(K) regular troops, that this statement is " directly at war not only with the official, but all other accounts. According to the despatches from Commodore Conner of the tfOth July from Vera Cruz, Faredes was not to have left Mexico before the 27th of July, (and, in the mean time, it is believed that Santa Anna's movements would detain him there.) It was not even certain, but it was " generally supposed," that he was not going to the Northern frontier. Not more than fourteen hundred men had marched from the capital. How, then, on the 15th of July, sixteen days before the date of this letter from Camargo could he have been at San Luis Fotosi, and mirching on like a snowball to Monterey, with a force of twenty-five thousand, and forty pieces of cannon ! Arista's (Mjia's) force is also most grossly exaggerated. The whole story, indeed, is erroneous." Mier, (Mexico,) July 31, 1940. Capt. Vinton's command entered this place this morninjj without the leat show of opposition, the inhabitant? thronsrinir to the dIiz in crowds as the troops filed into it and stacked their arms in front of the house of the alcalde. It seemed to me as though there were men enough in the square to have heaten us off with nothing ehe save the loose rocks Ijing about; yet not a hand was raised. Mier is by far the most pleasant, cleanly, and well rfjulated place we have yet seen in this part of Mexico. It is built on a hill overlooking a clear running stream of the same name, three miles from the Rio Grande, and is said to contain C,0U0 inhabitants, although I d i not know where they stow them all. Ytu miy well recollect that it was in this place that the Texans under Col. Fisher were compelled to surrender, after they had killed twice their own number of Mexican?. Tiie houses occupied by the Texans during the battle were pointed out, and still bear the marks of the desperate conflict. I have stated that the number of inhabitants is put down at G.000 ; admitting that it is 4.0U0, it was still entered and taken possession of by 03 men only 85 regulars, and 8 of MeCulIoch'a rangers, acting as a mounted guard. You- could not ecrve any town in the United State in that way; and this place is a perfect fortification from its position and the strength of the house?, which are of stone. Capt. Vinton' command occupies a large school-house in one corner of the plaza, near the church -strong, and, at the same time, commodious and comfortable quarters. The Cam-inches, who have committed many ravapes in this vicinity of late, are said to have left for the mountains of Texas with their prisoners and plunder. Many of the women and children from the adjoining ranchos, driven in by the Indians, are still here. Beware of the Las. Two volunteers, belonging to a Tennessee regiment we believe, who had obtained permission to visit this city, were on their way up from Eurita, and when within about five miles of the city were overtaken by a couple of Mexicans on horseback, who, under the pretence of asking them some questions, made a survey of their persons to see if they carried any pistols ; perceiving none, they rode a short distance io advance, arranged their lassos, wheeled ehort round and came rushing on th8

two unsuspecting volunteers, designing to ropo them round the neck, and strangle as they dragged them into the chaparel close by. The necks of both were caught by the ropes, but before the noose could be drawn they extricated their beads and made for the chaparel, worse frightened than was ever mustang when caught in a similar manner. The Mexicans did not make a second attempt, but made their way off as fast as possible. The volunteers remained hid

during the night, and came into the ciiy next morn-. f.. - ing. When they meet a Mexican on the road arain, say they, he will be requested to keep his distance or abide the consequence. A very prudent resolve. The greater the distance between an American and Mexican the more safety. Matamoras Ffag, 8i tml. The Matamoras Flag of the 5th, states that McCullough and Gillespie's Rangers had a fight with a company of Camanchc Indians, about 600 in number. In tins encounter the Camanche lost 20 killed, and of, the 80 Rangers who attacked them, there were but 2 1 killed, the latter bringing off 150 horses. Several companies of the St. Louis Legion, and several officers of the army came over in the New York. Col. Taggs is left in command at Matamoras. His and May's commands are to bring up the rear of the army as it moves forward. Col. Clark, of the Infantry, is to be left in command at Matamoras, with two companies of artillery and one regiment of volunteers. Startling Rumor. Twelve years ago last fall, a brig called the Nile, Capt. Brookings, sailed from this port for the West Indies. Subsequently she was found bottom up, ashore on Bermuda. It was supposed hat her officers and crew had found a watery grave. Last week a young mm named Reed, returned home to Woolwich, after an absence in Mexico and South America of six years, and he states that he saw in California a man named Jones, who sailed in the Nile that Jones stated that when in the neighborhood of Bermuda, the brig was fallen in with Uy a rakish craft, that sho was robbed of all her valuables, that Capt. Brookings and all his crew were transferred to the pirate vessel, the Nile was then scuttled, the crew were taken to the south side of Cuba, transferred to another vessel, carried to Mexico, placed in the mines, and there they have been kept at labor ever since, being allowed above ground but one hour in twenty-four. Jones, by diut of good fortune, succeeded in escaping some live or six years since, and in finding his way to California, where he is now living The report has caused some excitement in this region, and we understand that m jasures arc on fo rt t test its correctness. Mr. Reed's friends have no doubt of his veracity. Bilk Enquirer. Mr. Wemter able to go av way. When Mr. Webster propounded the question ouce at Faneuil Hall, " where shall I go !" he was strangely puzzled tj decide upon the exact locality that would suit him. How he shall go seeins to be a matter that does not bother him at all, if the following rnecdote be true. On Tuesday last he entered the cars at Washington to proceed to the East. The seats generally were filled. Mr. Evans called out, " Webster, you can take a seat next to me." " Why," said the Senator, " there is hardly room for two such fat men as we are." "Never mind," rejoined Evans, "you can squeeze in." A gentleman at the entrance of the car, seeing the dilemma, observed. " Mr. Webster, you are welcome to my seat, if you can rids bacl.ward.t." Webter looked at him for a moment, and (drawing himself up as straight as the Bunker Hill shaft, and taking off his hat, while all the passengers were looking on,) responded, in a peculiarly comical tone, " Sir, I have been going through this crooked world so long backward, that I can ride in any way .'" The laughter that ensued was loud cud long. He then took a seat with Evans, and in a few minutes the locomotive was oa its way to Baltimore. Philadelphia Ledger. fJT-" Twenty-five years ago," s.iya the Philadelphia North American, " Sam Houston was a house carpenter in Nashville, and his teeming brain wove its bright and ambitious fancies while his strong arm shoved the jack plane." We have resided in Nashville upwards of thirty years, and if he ever "shoved the jack plane " as a house carpenter, the fact his escaped our memory. Our recollection of his early career is, that he enlisted as a private in one of the U. S. Regiments of infantry, and soon after received a commission. In the first battle in which he was engaged with the Indians either that of Emuckfaw or Enotachopo he was wounded. After the peace he removed to Nashville and studied law and commenced his civil career as a lawyer. He was afterwards elected to Congress, and Governor of Tennessee. Xashtille Orthnpolitan. Carpets.
