It is to be hoped that the legislature will take time from the investigation of local matters, to give its attention to the subject of establishing houses of refuge. There is a humane feature in our constitution, of which our legislatures seem to have been profoundly ignorant. The section providing for a criminal code, declares that it shall be founded on the principle of reformation, and not of vindictive justice. To cure the evils of society without the inflicting unnecessary cruelty on offenders, is the proper object of civil regulations; and is the declared object of our constitution. Our criminal code, however, seems to have been engrafted on the English common law, and is in open violation of the spirit of our constitution. It in the first place provides for hanging on short notice. "Well, it may reform a man to stop his breath for aught we know ; but we cannot understand what moral " reformation" is manifested by a dead man. For offences less than murder in the first degree, the culprit is furnished gratis.with a scholarship, in fie college of villany at Jeffersonville, and in due tune he graduates, as finished a wretch as can be imagined; while for smaller oflfcnces, men, women and boys, are huddled together into county seminaries of rice, where a smart lad may fit himself for the JcfTersonville college in from thirty days to six months. Now, " most potent, grave and reverend seigniors," call you this reformation! You are sworn to suppor tthe constitution of Indiana. Will you not take another look atitl Humanity pleads for action in Vhls matter, but its feeble wail is drowned by the clamor for a law declaring Dry Run a navigable stream; or some other law of equal utility. Let the 'country speak out on this matter. Eist of Deaths , In the third Regiment of Indiana Volunteers, as furnished to Maj. Morrison by Adjutant Daily, under date of Camp Clarke, Nov. 3, 1310.

O-The Pittsburgh Post of Dec. 11th says: Senator Bright, of Indiana, who has been detained in this city fur several days past, in consequence cf a severe attack of inflammatory rheumatism, is now recovering, and we are happy to inform his friends that he will probably b? well enough to leave her? for Washington City by Wednesday or Thursday next. ßThe U. S. ship-of-war Boston, Commander George F. Pearson, was lost on the 15th ult. otf Eletheura blind. Her crew, two hundred and five in Dumber, and her stores were saved. Midshipman Temple It. Smith, with ten men, have reached Norfolk. The residue of the oSicers and crew were going to Nassau to take passage for the Fame port. Nobly Done. Both Houses of the South Carolina Legislature have adopted a resolution appropriating twenty thousand dollars, to be expended under the direction of the Field OTicers, to equip the Regiment of South Carolina Volunteers, for service in the war against Mexico. 07"The printers, as a clas3, have contributed more than their quota of men in the formation of tho Pennsylvania Regiment. No less than thirty are number ed among the volunteers from Philadelphia, and in the ranks of Captain Scott's company there are fifteen of the fraternity. Information Wamted. Any person who can give information of Mr. Jacob V. R. Hicks, of Rocking ham county, Va., and supposed to be now in Indiana, will confer a lasting obligation on an inquiring widow, by addressing a note to C. Hanna, Esq. Portland, Jay county, Indiana. How did it happen that the mail contractors brought through the mail containing the President's Message, and could not, for some days previous and since, bring any papers from tlir East ! St. Louis Uuion. We suppose, because in one case they worked for the accommodation of individuals, and in the other for the government. C-The Hon. J. C. Calhoun was re-elected to the United States Senate without any opposition receiv ing 130 votes. To fill the vacancy occasioned by the resignation of Mr. McDuffie,' Judge A. P. Butler was Elected.

Webster's Consistency. During his sojourn at Philadelphia, Webster addressed a company of Volunteers ; and the following account of hi remarks is given by the whig papers: "The company of Light Guards, under the command of Capt. Dennett, having volunteered to serve during the war with Mexico, and being equipped in undress uniform, marched to the Washington House, for the purpose of paying their respects to our great statesman. Mr. Welstcr appeared urxm the balcony,

Webster's an;i-var speeches at Philadelphia and F&neuil Hall, tl-e Washington Union expands the 6cnse of the above extract, and thus gives a fuller display of the Federal Statesman's sentiments. It adheres strictly tc his own phrases, and calls the effort 44 Mr. Ytbstcr's Palriolic Appeal to the Soldiers." 44 You have volunteered to go to a strange land, to bear up the stars of our country in a war which nobody voted for, and which is a violation of the constitution. You are to maintain the honor of this nation in a cenflict which is a just cause of impeachment against your constitutional commander-in-chief, and I charge you in the battle to remember that you are the countrymen of Washington, Congress alone has the right to declare war, and this war he first heard of in the President's proclamation. Remember, then, that you are Americans when you march upon your foe. Remember, I adjure you, that the act of Congress under which you are embodied, restricts your operations to the defence of our own territory, and press manfully onw ard to conquer an honorable peace, to procure indemnity fur the past and puarantees for the future in the heart of Mexico. Forget not as you strike that you are engnged iu an unjust, unconconstitutjonal, and wicked war of agression and conquest, waged without authority of law and for the worst partizan purposes. And as you sweep onward from point to point, and the eagle standard of victory floats over your splendid career of iniquitou and impeachable invasion, let your rallying cry be 4 Washington, our country, and our homes!" Ocr Army in Mexico. Speaking of the army under the command of Gen. Taylor, a correspondent of the Philadelphia Ledger makes the following very just and appropriate remarks: There is probably not on the whole face of the globe, euch a gallant little army as his in which every man has a consciousness of his own, and feels directly responsible to his countrymen. This is the true advantage of Democratic institutions. They develop character, beget self-reliance, and bring out individuality, where, in monarchical countries, you meet but inert masses, who require a vivifying agent to manifest symptoms of life. This individual elevation of man, similar to his individual salvation through Christianity, constitutes, in my opinion, the greatest merit of our institutions. The technical advantages of our government arc as nothing compared to it they are subject to mutations ; while the moral grain is steady and progressive. It is not so much a liberal Government as a Democratic people which is equal to every emergency and rises above circumstances. In the people rests the organic force ; the government is but their visible form and exponent. The victory of Monterey is unparalleled in the history of war. An army of from 14 to 15,000 men, entrenched and fortified, provided with a numerous artillery park, (not Jess than filly pieces) lodged in a town in which every house is a cattle and every street barricaded, is taken by 4300 assailants with a body of flying artillery of service only in the open field, against infantry or cavalry two howitzers and one ten inch mortar ! ! It took 50,0l!0 Frenchmen under Gerard six months to take the citadel of Antwerp, with no more than 4000 Dutchmen for a garrison Napoleon's army of Italy besieged a few thousand Austrians under Warmser a whole year in Mantua Strasburgh held out against a European coalition; and remained, in technical military language, a virgin against a five times superior force ! Truly there must be something in this individuality of our soldiers which makes every man responsible for his action?, as if he were the commander-in-chief. It is not only the Anglo-Saxon race with all due deference be it spoken which hns accomplished this victory ; it is the Anglo-Saxon, Saxon, Scotch and Irish, invigorated and improved by America n institutions! It is the soul of the American, not merely the physical body of the Anglo-Saxon, which has achieved this glorious result. Neither must we look upon it as an achievement beyond the reach of art it is a legitimate result, so naturally founded in our superior individuality, that it does not even surprise us. We have calculated upon it, and the news bursts on our ears without producing more than satisfaction that we have not been disappointed. - Texas. Galveston papers to the 25lh tilt, contain the following items of intelligence : An express readied Gen. Houston at Galveston; on the 23d, from Torrey's trading house, stating that Indians of various tribes, to the number of 10,000 had arrived there in the expectation of rinding commissioners on the part of the United States, to treat with and deliver presents to them, in accordance with assurances to that effect, made them by the commissioners last spring, and promises also made the Indian Delegation at Washington. Finding neither commissioners nor presents, has much disappointed the Indians, and fears arc entertained that serious mischief may accrue to the frontier settlements, unless something is done to conciliate them. General Houston kas written to the Messrs.. Torreys to do all in their power to prevent dissatisfaction among them; and directed them, on his own personal responsibility, to distribute, from their own goods, presents among them to the value of Ä-VX'O, or .10,000 if necessary ; and he will hasten to Washington, in order to induce, if possible, such action on the part of the Government as will save the frontier from the evils of Indian hostility. Judge McLean Overboard. So far apparently as the Albany Journal his any thing to say respecting the whig candida.e for the Presidency, Judge McLean ii thrown overboard. It says : 44 We are free to say, that Judge McLean is not in the category of eminent whigs from among whom we expect and hope to find a candidate tor President. And we may go further and say, that it it were de termined that Ohio should furnish the candidate, Mr. Corwin, rather than Judge McLean, would be our man. But this avowal goes not a hair s breadth be yond the single question it involves.,' And the Journal might have added, ' is made only for effect." A Horrid Act. Through a communication from Mr. Russell, the Clerk of the George Washington, to the Louisville Courier, we learn that Samuel Chase, of Fatriot, Indiana, lately descended the river on a trading voyage, accompanied by hia wife and two young men. She was a young woman of 19, daughter of Valentine Boyer, "below Flint Island. Soon after they took the river, Chase beat his wife most cruelly, and she made her escape to Mills' Foint. Chase sent to persuade her to return, which Ehe did. Chase having sent away his men, started down the river with Mrs. Chase and a boy. He soon after attacked her with a raw hide and bowie knife, and literally cut her to pieces from head to foot, along and across the body. Her neck and body had the appearance of his having held her by the throat against a hot stove! When found at James' Eayou she was still alive, but unable to speak. Chase was secured and taken in tho boat with the corpse to New Madrid, where he was lodged in jail. He offered no excuso for this horrid murder, and none is conjectured, though he had a slight dispute with her father relative to some business, a short time previous. Not Afraid or Ruin." 'A company composed of the most wealthy and intelligent citizens of Fortland, Me.,. has just been formed at that place, for the manufacture of iron, under tho title of the Fortland Iron Company. Their capital is $250,000, and they are making arrangements for going into the manufacture of iron en a scale of largo extent.'

The Contest of IS 18. The time has come for dem-jcrats to -pcak plainly and to demand patriotic action in reference to the content of 131:. Not that much alarm need bo felt about the so much vaunted whig victories. These ...:n t i , . , ,

wiu uc ioudu, ii analyzed, to be mane up ot euch materials as the whigs will find difficult to manage. Of this, lnnveter, more in another article lie Word now in relation to the position democrats are assum- ..... .ü o.a in rciurt-iic iu u.e prcbiuviiua .wiiit;M.. iierc, we apprericnu, were is cause that will result in vieV 1 No.v we cannot but regard the poaiiion taken, in some tjuarttr?, as erroneous. v e allude to the manncr in which diStiiiguidhcd individuals are nominated and pres etl forward as candidates for the presidency. Vit!i d-ference to our co-laborers, this policy is a most fatal one, and will breed little Iwisitles nuhitf to the great cause of dein erary. Jt i but adding to tlie things that, just now, contribute to weaken the energies of the party. It will be well for democrats to learn wisdom and take encouragement from the past. Let them remember the stale. of their cause in the fall of 1843, Then a lorij and bitter personal contest about presidential candidates had estranged one part of the party against the other ; atd so many blows, heavy and efficient, had been dalt out by democrats upon each other, that tho work of saving the parly seemed an herculean one, and many a stout, patriotic heart looked upon the ellort a.i hopeless. Still the effort was made, and there ha not been a nobler scene than that which preentcd itself when republicans, of widely different preferences as to men, agreed, for the sake of the cause, to unite heart and hand to save it from ruin. And is there a democrat that regret the consequences of those efforts J L'y this means democrats were victorious. Uy being victorious the odious '42 tariuT was repealed and one on the basis cf equality was passed ; the independent treasury bill lias been re-enacted ; the financial measures commenced by the patriot Jackson have been established. Is there nut, in tlic success of such measures as these, a triumph worth rejoicing for 1 Let it be remembered that all these and more are but the legitimate fruits of the union of the democracy. Now the same path of redemption and success is again open. The democratic party the democratic cause is in the actual ascendancy in this country ; it is guiding the nation onward in its glorious career. To maintau; this ascendancy should be the aim of every patriotic democrat humble or distinguished whether acting in the workshop or on the farm or in the cabinet. In comparison with this object the mere personal hopes the preferences of one and all are as nothing; and the claims of one man or of another sink into insignificance. These claims, that are so much at times talked of, are nothing are shadows. The claim is of another character is on the side of the party. The people have a right to the services of any one of their great champions, when their caue is in jeopardy and needs them. It seems to us, then, that the true policy of the democratic party was never more clearly chalked out. It is to refrain from pressing the nomination of any one of the distinguished democrats for the presidency and at once to bury the hatchet of internal discord. As to the former, we hope that its decision may be left With A NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION that may assemble on a day that may be concluded upon hereafter, nay in May, 134. Undue attempts to foreStall the action of this convention may be attended with disastrous results. And along wHi this policy as to the nomination we hope that the energies of the party may be directed to redeem the ground that lias been gained by tho whigs, instead of being devoted to distract our friends. This course will be sure to bring about the union of tho democracy, and with union a triumph in IS IS as glorious as that of 1311. Such, it cannot be doubted, is the patriotic design of the mass of the party. It is not in this quarter that those political combinations are formed that elevate one man and put down another, for among the people the demand is for democratic measures. They wisji to 6ee the principles that came into power with Jefferson maintained by Jefferson's successors : to see labor secure in its earn ings from the silent influence of monopoly ; to 6ee law more regardful of liberty and justice and right, than of those special interests that struggle so hard to maintain their privileges and groan so piteoti.sly when these privileges are taken from them. These are triumphs that are sought by the masses, and they will be glad to rally about the standard of any one of the true-hearted democratic leaders in order to secure them. Uoslon Post. The War With M exico R:cruils wanted for a new kind of service. Every indication manifest.-; the intention of the Government to prosecute the war against Mexico with the utmost vior. These movements are consequent, probably, upon the new plan of operations which has been adopted, and which place Gen. Scott in the field of active service. The additional seven or eight thousand volunteers now mustering into service will swell the force between Camargo, .Monterey and Tainpico, to 29,000 men. All the improvements of modern and scientific warfare will be used to give efficiency to the operations at San Luia Totosi; or whercever next the enemy is to be found. The ordnance department is now engaged in raising companies to ecrve with rocket and mortar howitzer batteries, and an advertisement in another column will be found for one hundred strong and active young men for this service. Some of our Javing spirits, who are desirous of roirijj to Mexico, will here find d fine opportunity. The pay and clothing are superior to that of the volunteers nr the reffulais of the lino. Thy will from the nature of the service, always be in the advance and the highest character for courage and physical ability is therefore required. This corps is entirely new in our service. The great success attending the use of the Congrcve rocket in foreifrn countries, althnugh they were badly made, induced the Chief of Ordnance at Washington to institute a series of experiment with war rocket, which now, after ten years tpent in various trials, have resulted in complete success. war rockets Uur best a serving these rocket?, will da more execution than twice their number usir'g any other arms. The mountain howitzer battery is also a most important arm of service. In forcing all mountain passes, in turning all obstacles that a rough country may present, it is invaluable. The gun end carriage, though strongly made, weighs not over 5C0 lbs. Uur army in Mexico is now entirely without a rocket, or mountain howitzer battery. The carriage, on which the howitzer is mounted, also carries the implements fur firing tht rockets ; so the battery is in every sense a double one in the mountain passes or on the plain; eithef shells or war rockets may be fjred. The government hu a now resolved to employ them in the Mexican war and to place some of the best officers at the head of the corps. With able and scientific commanders, ajid brave and intelligent men, this corps will be found the best and most effective in the service. Application for admission to. tho company is to bo made at the Frankford Arsenal. Philadelphia Ledger. IIigit Treason.

The lands io the DIXON district, embraced ia the above proclamition of the President of the United States, were explored by M-. Owen, the geologist ol the Stat ol Indiana, under instructions f om the Treasury Department, and in compliance w ith a resolu'ion of the House of Representatives, passed btl Feh. uary, lt:. The able repo.t ol this gentleman, published as document No. 'ia9i House of Hepresentatives, first scs ion of Üti'.h Congress, shows that these lands include all the productive mines, and the entire region in which, from observations during his suivey, there is reason to believe th valuable veins of ore may readily be tounj. Further, that in U',9, the lead mine of Illinois, Iowa, and Wisconsin, though ouly partialry worked, p odnced upward of thi'ty millions pounds ol lead those of Illinois yielding their full p-oportion -and that the whole district, if p opeiiy mined, would yield one hundred and fifty million! pounds per aunura. t . " These lands being siiuated on and near the Missisippi an 1 Fevr rivers, the cost of transporting the proJucts of them 10 2t- Louis is ouly about fifteen cent- per hundred pounds. The soil is of excellent quality, and yields abundantly all the products of that latitude. The lands in the SHAWNEE TOWS district have not been explored as fully as those in Dixoa. Re-ent discoveries have been made, however, of rich veins of the sulphuret of load and xinc. contiguous to and on both sides of these lan Js, indicating the existence ot .-imilardepositcs within them. 1 ne laciiuies wr mjnuiaciu ing white and red lead a-o represented as being ample ; and as the land are situated within about seven mile of the Ohio rivur, the metal, in anv Xormt can oe transported to al the principal markets at a tti.U.rS cost. jvnu:3 H.rirEit, .Acting Commissioner of tht General Land OJice.

Copper, also, has been found in this region in considerable quantities. tireat advantages are said to exist for the manufacture of leAft in Tario'lS forms, particularly into shot, the river banks being so elevated as to require little or no expense in the erection of towers ; and Hie ore, f oin its great purity, may be manufactured into shot by the- first sra hing. t ; The location ol these mines being near me .lissuippi rice-, a io'tis great facilities erf t-ansportatiou slie average cost or w Inch to M. Louis is abut lilteen cents per hun Ird poun.is. The soil is ruprexented as being unusually fertile, prodttciag all the small grains in great abundance, and furnishing xcellent range for cauk thus presenting equal Inducements to the agriculturist and the miner. The DUDUOUB mines in f actional townships tighty-crgh4., .;..lilr.nin. nn.f iiin.lv nf r.nfffl tiVO east, situated On the tM 11 L cf the MissiVsipi, are considered the most impörton ; the DURA VGOminci in' tow nships eiehty-nine and nim tr.of tange one east, , are the next in value; and the CATTE9E mines in fractional lownsnip eigniy-eini, 01 rHiifjrw inrw ma-v . mo n.vi, c tc third. .
