GEORGE A. CHAPMAN, Sentinel Office. Kail load Jlcetin;;. There will he a meeting held at the Court House in thi ci'y on rillD.-lY, Al'GTST ami, At 10 o'clock, A. AI., to Lear further particulars in regard to the Ciucinr.ati and St. Louis Railroad. We tlo hope that every person, front town nnl country, will devute a couple of hours on the above ni med day, lo this matter. There is not a man, woman or child in this county not interested in this undertaking, directly. And we can safi-lv My to cur mechsnical and laboring brethren, that it is a matter of as much importance to them as it possibly can be to the capitalist. Many a one of small means can, with a trifling effort, obtain a share or two nf stock ; and if a sufficient number of farmer and mechanics would do this, and then tote in the matter as their own good judgment shall dictate, without the aid of proxies, the will soon find that they have art influence not generally supposed to exist, or at least not accorded to them, when shylocks have their bond calling for the pound of flesh. Then let every one attend. The information to be received will well repay, even !hould no farther interest be excised. Our Railroad Business. We omitted at the proper time to call the attention of our readers to the Dividend Notice" of the Directors of the Madison and Indianapolis Railroad. Suffice it to say, that they have declared a dividend of se ten per cent, for the last six months. Last year, the dividend was eighteen per cent. If this is not doing a good business, especially when wc take into consideration the pxtensiog, and numerous repairs, we should like to know what is. Suppose our county 1 ad taken the stock proposed some three years since ! At this time, scarcely one cent would need to be collected for all county purposes. Baiu. Let us not be that short sighted Ccuxtetfeit. The St. Louis Union btates tint a fellow was recently nrresttd in that city, having in his p. s.sesion three hundred dollars to nlerteit money on the Lafayette Bank of Cincinnati. They are $ notes, all of one issue letter C made payable to A. Douglass or bearer. Vignette, "signing the declaration of Independence." To the left of the Vignette is a head of Lafayette. The word "five" in white letters across the right hand end on a medallion end piece A female medallion head in the centre of, the left hand end with square pieces of dies above and below a figure 5 in the lower die, a V in the up per. The whole fice of the note is bad; the dies have been worked up with the graver instead of being executed with the lathe, and consequently the lines di not cross n r can you trace them; the Vignettes have a blurred nppearancc and all the work is pale, and badly finished. People had best be careful not to keep the genuine 0:.io ii jUs on hand, as well as not to take tl.e counterfeits. fTThe Journal of the HOih copies a paragraph from the Washington (Pa.) Reporter, which speaks of Mr. R. D. Owen as "a gentleman in his manners and habits, and though an open rexilir of ell t'nt sacrs of religion, a scrupulous observer of the conventional proprieties which obtain in refined s;ciety." Now this chap's notion of "conventional proprieties" must be quite as notable as the Journal's ideas of political honesty; or else we must infer that it is considered quite proper in "refined society," to retile all that savors of religion, for the reason, indubitably, that " reliued society " is altogether skeptical ; because, if it were not, " conventional propriety " would he outraged by the abuse and Vilification of what refined society " held sacred. IVi-ehnod is the cause of this inconsistency. Mr. Owen was f"r several sessions a member of our General Assembly, and is well known by the "refined society" ol this town. That ma does not exist who ever heard him revile" anything that savored of religion, cither openly or privately. The man who assets the contrary, " i a liar, and the truth is not in him." If the d;s!ioncst persou who caused such an imputation to be copied into the Journal had remembered that Mr. Owen was well known here, he miht have refrained from adding himself to this category. The Crawfordsville "Press," (whig,) speaking of tin editor of the N.Y. Tribune, says "The fact of the business is, Horace Greeley is a considerable man more he is a great man but unfortunately he tri'i follow after every species of miserabla humbng which the spirit of enterprising duplicity seeks to impose up m the unsuspecting credulity of the people.'' Yet this same Greeley is perhaps the most influential whig editor in the whole country ! We believe that the whigs generally, as well as Greeley, "follow after every species of miserable humbug, by which enterprising duplicity seeks to impose upon unsuspecting credulity." Whiggery, in short, is the vtry essence of humbug and rascality. That is the way to tell if, though a great many honest persons think otherwise. CrThe legislature "f Maine, the other day, granted a citizen 8H) acres of land, for that he had "done the State some service" in giving to it some nineteen other possible citizens. But they have a man in New York, a well known eating house keeper, (Mr. GosL:ng,) who has just been made1 the happy parent of his tweniy-fo;irth child. He has moved into the upper pirt of the city, where the population is less dense. Mr. Gosling, appears to be a full-fledged old gander. Success to him, and all the young Goslings. Temvf.s-ee EEorioN.

That they thua talk, only proves what we have always be- j lieved and said would b? the case. that the moment a peace shall be concluded, these federal-tory-Mexican whigs will at once turn round and curse our Government as roundly for it, as ever they cursed it for carrying on the war.

Tis in perfect keeping with the recent unprincipled and wreckless course of that paper, on all subjects, so far as we have observed." The allusion to the tcrccA-less course of the State Journal refers, we suppose, to the repeated wrecks which the Whig Ship has suffered under its pilotage. Tue Major gives it another "slight touch," in the same paper, thus : "The State Journal advices us to "run up the Birney flag." We must inform the editors of that paper, that we have not sufficient confidence either in their honesty or political sagacity, to justify us either in following in their f outepa, or taking their advice.

DO. rr., T . , .. ., . , . , The Journal knows very well that the recent elec

tions do not show any such thing as that "the people are against the war with Mexico," especially so far 3 tins btate is concerned. It knows that the wins candidate for this district, lacked by its sanction and support, pledged himself, that if elected to Congress, "lie would vote for ample supplies to enable the ad- . . . i . ' . e . -e ., , .- , n , . close ; and further, that if the election of President, um. i ji ai inn m uiuscvuic nc wai iu au iKnutrauf. i fo (he went to House of p t i tives, he would vote for the democratic candidate, or ' resign his seat. It knows also, that it avsnrpd tlm nonnl that it u-onhl nrt rnnsidpr th !tir-n nf tho jj. . whig candidate, under the circumstances, as a whig Fortunately the democracy of this district r - - r - - i . j .1 . . . 11.1. 1111 understood these pretences too well to be gulled by them. The Journal knows equally well, that the election of whigs in the first and sixth districts, was not owing to the cause which it gives. It know? hat the democratic candidate in the first was beaten for other reasons; and the democratic candidate in the sixth was defeated only in consequence of division and dis affection in the democratic ranks. In both of those distric, wel, j thj an(j h g penertty there is just as many or more democratic votes, as there was two years ago; and if the whig candidates for Congress generally had not declared themselves In favor of prosecuting Ihe war to an honorable issue, they not only (with one exception) could not have been elected, but they could not hare got one half of the irhig tote to say nothing about the democratic. The whig coiiveniion for the Third congressional district, which met at Napoleon, Ripley county, on the 5th of May last, adopted and passed, among other resolutions, the following : 4. That the country being now involved in a war, and that war being sanctioned by the constitutional authorities, it is the duty, policy and glory of every .citizen to urge its vigorous prosecution, as the readiest means to procure a permanent and honorabl peace ; and to that end, to assist the government with all needful supplies of men and money." Thus, so far as they could do it, this convention, representing by choice the whig party of the Third district, made the support of the war by the granting of all needful supplies of men and money, a whig measure and a whig principle. The Journal unconsciously tells some truth when it goes on to say that the people know the war "could have been iJunorably avoided, and detest the men who plunged the country into it." This is precisely our own opinion and feeling, and has been from the beginning. But those men are not those who constitute the present administration.

Hie reader will please he can see the article from the Signal, which we shall publish as soon as we can get it. However, we are of give this letter a careful reading and then lay it by until the opinion that even after reading that the reader will not 1,0 ab,e to f(,rm anr satisfactory opinion as to to the c,d general political whereabouts, it we may be permit. ted to judge by the few extracts from it which we have seen. It does seem to us that about one-half the whi?s. rnd especially the whig editors, have either gone mad or care nothing about whig principles. I hey hoist the name or "Gen. Zitchary Taj lor for President," when one-half of them don't even know what Slate he lives in, and much less what his political opinions are. If they can see any evidence that he is a whig in any of his letters, we confess they can see sharper than we can. The strongest evidence we have ever seen that he is any ways tainted with whiggery, is Ihe treatment he has received at the hands of the President and his cabinet. There is no eviI dence cither that he belongs to the democratic party ; in fret, we do not believe he belongs to either party. We can't go for him until we see his position explicitly defined by himself. He is a southern man, and is, we doubt not, thoroughly southern in all his political notions and opinions. We don't want to see the Whig party "catch a Tartar," in the person of Taylor, as they did when they took up John lyler; and lor tins reason tee cint'go him blind." If we support Gen. Taylor for the Presidency at all, we shall take nun as "a lesser or two evils." The Washington correspondent of the New York Journal of Commerce, writes uuder date of the 12th inst: I write for the purpose of stating that a letter has been received by the British legation, from Mr. Bankhead, the British minister in .Mexico, of recent date, and by the last British courier, that contains highly important information as to our relations with Mexico. My informant says that the facts and opinions given by Mr. Bankhead, show conclusively that we shall have no treaty of peace through any regulations with the present government of Mexico. Mr. Bankhead says that, in compliance with the instructions of his government, he has made every efiort to promote a peace between the United States and Mexico, but that all attempts for this purpose had failed, and were abandoned. He adds that the dissensions among the Mexican leaders and rulers render it impossible to effect any pacific arrangement. Mrs. Ludlow went into the residence of Mrs. Kil patrick, in the northern part of the city, a few days since and gave her three successive and successful whippings blacked her eyes, pulled her hair, broke her dishes, 6toned her house, called her names, and severely beat and almost killed a lot of the little KUPatricks: and in fret, showed to the admirinff commu nity ia that vicinity that she was in possession of very active business habits. of.

"The editor of the Tippecanoe Journal declares h will net er support a slave-holder for the Presidency. j "The whig pary lias never maue mat a test 01 eligi bility to office.

The above Journal in Indiana stands in the same position in relation to the whig party of that State as the Ohio State Journal of this city does the whigs of Ohio. What think you if our neighbor had put the above in his paper as a leader I What are whig principles 1 What a harmonious party ! O. Statesman. O-The celebrated Baptist preacher of England, John Foster, (see his Life and Corresjondence, p. 42,) expresses himself respecting the churches, thus : "Churches are useless and mischievous Institutions, and the sooner they are dissolved, the better. 1 have long felt an utter loathing of what bears the general denomination of the Church, with all its parties, contests, disgraces and honors. My wish would be little less than the dissolution of all church institutions, of all orders and shapes ; that religion might be set free, as a grand spiritual and moral element, no longer clogged, perverted and prostituted by corporation forms and principles." These are queer sentiments for a preacher. The N. Y. correspondent of the Washington Union observes that Frentice, of the Louisville Journal, chuckles in au ecstacy of virtue over Robert Dale Owen's defeat in Indiana as "a moral triumph." This is about the coolest specimen of "Satan rebuking sin" on record. George Prentice exulting over "a moral triumph" is enough to make the Father of Lies and Hypocrisy wipe his eyes for laughter.

The "Cass County volunteers," of the first regiment of Indiana volunteers who have lately returned r , . ,, . c J from the service m Mexico, and are a fine company, desire to fill up their ranks and return to the service.

Wae Department, ) Washington, Aug. 11, 1847.J Sir, I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 31st ultimo, stating the desire of a number of persons to raise volunteer companies for the war with Mexico, and requesting an early answer to their application. In reply I have to state that the exigencies of the war are not deemed to require at present the additional force offered from your State, nor under present circumstances can the Department with propriety encourage those gentle men to organize companies with a view to enter the - . t - . . m"tary service, as it cannot be foreseen with any certainty when they could be received Very rt-spectfu ly your obdicnt servant, W.

Although it is proper to encourage a free interchange of opinion among both the musses, and heads of parties, yet the morbid tendency of the popular mind has, we fear, diverted the original intentions of our institutions from their proper channels. If it be true that the people are good judges of their interests, yet they ought also to consider that their representatives are better qualified to administer the affairs of the general government than themselves. If they were not, the eop!e would be liable to the . -. v.j, ,a.ö- lu u tuaiiui , iu "'0 men in whose wisdom they did not place as mucu confidence as their own. lhese preliminary remarks, we hope, will be sufS - cieut explanation of what follows. Every politician of ordinary calibre must have freqnently endeavored to imagine the effects of this war, after the present generation has passed away, and the conduct of the actors has been submitted to the in.l,,,.f. : .!.:- flection of the impartial historian. Those w ho form their judgment w ith regard to our political action at the present time, have egregiously deceived themselves; and if they live to see the full effect of the actions of the present administration, will be aston ished at their presumption and want of foresight. But it armears imoossible to dissioate the nreiudiccs Df ! ....I a i. T i 7 i . . . 7 ' minus ina i nave oeen en u reu to temporary circumspection ; and I am not sure but that the only proper way of reforming such men, is to subject them lo the test of the most pointed ridicule. They militate against the honors of war, unmindful of the glorious reaction that will inevitably ensue, and of the still happier prospect of long-continued peace, after the great obstacle to our national prosperity has been removed. If they wouid properly consider our present situation, they would see that the door to boundless fields of enterprise and advancement has been opened. The calamitous pursuit of war was never intended for useless requisition ; and in this boasted age of christian charity and sympathizing benevolence, can there be men so blind as to believe that we are only contending for the gratification of the puerile lust of conquest ! Is it possible that tbe scales have not yet fallen from the eyes of these modern Solons, who profess to sec in the future nothing but disunion and civil commotion! Why a senator of a barbarian council would have blushed to display such consummate ignorance, w hen, perhaps, the fate of his country hung suspended upon the decision of the hour. The patriots of tl.e opposition profess to tremble at the inju ries they say are about to be inflicted upon our be' 1 j countr . ;r BO wnv are ii.ev not ti.e Rrst t0 re. i ,,,.,. ... iU.,,., r.. .! it,.,. t,; pel the aggressions of an insidious foe, and thus tri umphantly vindicate themselves from the heavy charge of treason and dishonor, which we are reluctantly compelled to believe are too truly applied to their unaccountable conduct 1 The people have suffered too long from the defamation of federal orators, and the reckless vituperation of a corrupted press. Is this the encouragement that the great paragon of republics holds out to those states that are endeavoring to free themselves from despotism 1 We believe that public opinion has already Becretly proscribed this infamous scheme of double treachery. Do the Whigs really suppose they can so far impose on the credulity of the masses, as to impress them with the belief of every tnalic.ous falsehood that they may choose to utter 1 Let them beware, for when the deception is discovered, the indignant rebuke of injured millions, will be the terrible response to the ominous predictions of their leaders. If a clear question of justice was ever defined and instituted, no one could be more convincing than the elucidation of our conflicting relations, in the President's message, and other public documents. But the faith of 6ome men is remarkably weak, when their time-serving expectations are in danger of being baffled ; and whig editors seem determined to receive an ample portion of the prey, if it can be procured by unqualified abuse, and wilful misrepresentation. We sincerely believe, that there is not a period in the history of the world, so replete with instances of hypocritical fidelity to party views, as is now exhibited among those who serve their party merely for party's 6ake. No doubt but that if an exchange of situations could be miraculously effected a whig President placed in the chair of State, and they believed that it would redound to their interest to prosecute this moral invasion, they would as loudly denounce its opposers, as they are ready to hurl their invectives against the party that has outstripped them in the race of popularity. Let them know and feel that they are enpaced in a common cause with the other party, and that the very soul of a nation is bound up in the phipk

The peace party here have lost alt faith and patience; they begin to doubt tbe integrity and power of the American army ; while every vagabond rejoices, because he imagines there will now be no bar to lawlessness. As 1 wrote you before, nearly every man of wealth, foreigners and all, have left the city, carrying such treasures as they could, and all business is suspended. The collection of a debt, and the redress of a grievance in court, are things no longer possible. It wis lucky ihut you escaped from Mexico just as you did ; for it has now leaked out that you were suspected for several dajs before vou left, and a constant watch kept oTer your house I l. .......I I !,, fltW MIT and upon all your movements. Two days more, and you would never have seen the United Slates." Nothing saved you but the forethought of paying your landlord, interpretor, &.c, in advance, and leaving your truuk, which put the police off their guard. Two days after you left the city, an express was sent 200 miles to Gen. Garayr commander of the guird, describing youi person, and ordering your arrest if found on the road; all the passes Iroui the city were also set with spies. It is said that Mr. Black was lorced to leav the city on suspicion of aiding your escape ; and Mr. Voss, or the firm of Hargons &. Brothers, baroly escaped arrest on the same suspicion. It was not believed vou had left until the notice ol your arrival in New Orleans reached here, and a reward of $000 was offered for you up to that time. Since then, copies ol the Sun have been seized, containing articles lavoring the occupation of Mexico; and the paper has been prohibited. God only knows what is to be the end. I thought the crisis of misery was reached weeks ago, but it only seem beginning. The distress of the peaceable poor isawlul in the extreme. They must rub or starve, lor there is nothing for them to do, and no charity to protect them. Every thing is at the mercy of the military. They have barricaded all the stree;s with sand bags, and everyday or two pretend that Scott is advancing on the city, in order to create more confusion, and gel a belter chance lo plunder. Immense quantities of paving stones have been carried to tl.e tops ol the houses, tu hurl on the heads of the Yankees when they come, il they should ever come. It is said that the English Minister is making every effort to bring the Americans to terms of peace; tint all Mexicans who have anything to sell to the Amerii-an army are ! glad to have the war kept up, as it helps their business. i Another trial has been made to cast some cannon, but it 1 failed on account of ihe charcoal such is the report ! nud all furl her attempts are abandoned.

Taylor's column indicates an adv ance movement. The Mitamoras Flag, of the 4'.1 instant, 6ays : Advance upon San Luis. From Major Arthur, formerly quartermaster at Cerralvo, we learn that Generai Wool has received orders to proceed with the advance of Gen. Taylor's column, on lhe 2tUh inst., in the direction of Encarnacion, some twenty league from Buena Vista, where he will establish a d.-pot, into w hich three months' rations will be thrown. The army will then advance upon San Luis, and communication be opened with Tampico or Tuxpan, from whence supplies will thereafter be received. All the mules, and other means of transportation, have been ordered above, and activity prevails throughout the whole department. From our young friend, Mr. DaPonte, who came passenger in the Telegraph, from Matamoras, we learn that Major Grossman, quartermaster at Camargo, received imperative orders on the 29th ult., to have all the necessary supplies and means of transportation in Monterey bv the 20th inst. Four hun dred wagons, as a part of those means, have been forwarded on from the Brazos. The follow-ing items are from the Matamoras Flag : Robbery, rape and hanging, appear to be the order of the day among the rancheros in the neighborhood of Matamoras. A few days ago a party of robbers went to the house of a Mexican, in the country, and' while a few of thern amused themselves by hanging the man, the rest perpetrated the two first named crimes. There are lands of lawless, desperado Mexicans prowling about our vicinity, whom it would be well for our couting parties to look for. The harged Mexican was not much hurt the object of his tortures being more to divert the attention from what the others were doing, than anything else. A Mexican force, we learn, was recently despatched to the neighborhood of Parras, to destroy thecropa of corn, & c, iu thatrcpion. The resident Mexicans, after applying to Gen. Taylor for assistance, collected in force and themselves drove off the destructives. There can be uo doubt that the people of Tamaulipas would pladly erect theirs into an independent State were the thing possible. Their miserable, everchang.1i government, not only taxes them exorbitantly, but refuses them protection from the robbers within, and from the aggressions of the Indians without, their limits. They have more than once attempted to cut loose from the central government, but found they possessed not the phy sical means. A celebrated old General used to dress in a fantastic manner, by way of making himself better known. It is true, people would say, "Who is that old fool 1" but it is also true, that the answer was "That is the famous general who took such a place." Pine Knot. Who does that intend to hit: any body know ! The French Government has authorized Prince Jerome Bonaparte to return to France, and sent him his passports.
