llailroad CVIebralioci. Yesterday was a proud day for Indiannnolis. At an early hour thousands of the people of Central In-I diana and other portions of the State thronged the street of our city. At ten o'clock Capt. Evans's company of volunteers entered the city on the west and Spalding's mammoth circus on the east, the latter preceded by Ned Kendall's celebrated band, with its enlivening strains. They met about the centre, amid the thronging thousands. At one o'clock, P. M., the multitude met at the depot, and precisely at 3 o'clock the booming of Capt. Chapman's cannon announced the approach of the cars, containing a large concourse of visiters and travellers. After the arrival of the cars. Governor "YVhitcomb addressed the thronging thousands in an appropriate addrevi. From yesterday we iriiy date a new era in Indianapolis and Central Indiana. The illumination and fireworks in the evening was a brilliant affair. The Ladies of the First Baptist Church in this city will prepare a supper on Wednesday evening, Oct. 6th, at the Governor's Circle, where they will be happy to wait on their friends arid all interested in the church. At the same time they will offer for sale various articles made by them: The avails of the supper and sale to be appropriated to the erection of a new Church. Tickets 50 cents each ; fr a gentleman and two ladies $1. Doors open at 7 o'clock. The "Centre Guards" under Captain McDotigal left this city on the cars for Madison, the place of rendezvous for the 5th regiment, on Tuesday morninjj last: This is a fine company of brave young men, and we are proud to say that it is the third company raised in Indianapolis, dur.ng the war with Mexico. On Wednesday afternoon the "Hancock R'hoys," commanded by Captain Bracken, passed through this city on their way to the railroad, to join their regiment. This company is composed of the real bone and sinew of the country, and looked as if they would do good service should an opportunity offer. They made a handsome appearance as the grand cavalcade of wagons passed through our streets. The good people of Hancock have displayed the right spirit in giving transportation to the B'hoys to the depot. Our best wishes go with each of tlie.se companies. Sic. Haskell. This celebrated magician, ventriloquist, &c., entertained a large audience at the Court House on Thursday evening last with many wonderful feats of legerdemain, ventriloquism, &.c. He is an expert and pleasant performer, easy, graceful, and funny. He gives another soiree on Monday evening. Nobody will regret the quarter, we answer for it. The New York correspondent of the Washington Union says that "a kind of potato rot seems t have overtaken a large class of dealer in the Old World, as well as among fancy stock speculators in New York. Ey late accounts it appears that some twenty-five important linns have failed, with acre-fc-atc liabilities amounting to some jTJ3,Oo4.0;XJ. Of this JLl,!A'J,U!Ki was distributed among twelve London hou-cs, 21,H)J in Liverpool, JGJ 1,000 in Ireland, and the balance in other cities. The proximate cause of these stoppages is the fall of grain; but investigation shows that most of these concerns hate had, for yen rs, a fraudulent existence that is, that actual inability to meet their debts has been concealed under a false credit, and the explosion has taken place by reason of a continued and severe pressure upon the money market, rather than through actual recent losses, which have doubtless been great. Tue fail ureofthe house of Robinson &, Co., of which the senior partner was governor of the Bank of Eng. land, disclosed the disreputable condition of its existence during the last few years. The London Times is particularly lugubrious over the fact, that the house of Robinson is the sixth instance of fraudulent bankruptcy in a governor of the bank of England." The Cincinnati Gazette, to bIiow the advantages of railroads, as developed in the road between this place and Madison says, that the editor of the Eaton (Preble county) Register has just returned to his post from a vwt to Indiana, in the course of which he spent some time on a portion of the line of the Madison and Indianapolis railroad. Ten year ago, he resided at

the point where he now tarried.

Telegiupii t Ma Diso. The citizens at Madison, much to their credit be it s"jKken, have obtained a battery at that city. The first streak of lightning passed along the wires on Wednesday last, at 3 o'cl-Kk, P. M. This will be a reat advantage to Indianapolis, as, with the Railroad, we are now within six hours communication with the city of New York. It will not be Ling before it will be instantaneous; Ey a telegraphic communication to Cincinnati from Wellsville, of the 23th inst., 10 o'clock, P.

Published ererv Thursday. The E.litor of the Joiirnal turned Q'lakcr". In order that the whig party of Indiana may fully understand the true sentiments of their political mouth-piece in this city, who has been glorifying General Taylor the whole summer, we publish the following description of the late yearly meeting at Richmond, from the JefFersonian of the 29ih ult. We hope the public will not at all be surprised to see " Friend John," in a regularly built shad bellied coat, parading the streets of Indianapolis before many days. MASS MEETING OF THE OHIO FRIENDS AT YEARLY MEETINGS FRIEND THOMAS CORWIN SPOKESMAN. The Ohio election takes place early in next month. The times of holding the two Yearly Meetings in Richmond are fixed with a view to friends reaching their horr.es in Ohio after the close of the meetings in time to vote at those elections. Great numbers of them are here front all parts of Ohio, arid a political stumper from that State could thus, by cominw here at this time, get the ears of a greater number of Ohio voters from all parts of the State than he could on any one occasion, expect to assemble there. The Scheme is accordingly gone into. Shall we say that these meek, professedly non-resisting, nongovernment-interfering friends, have So far united Church arid S.ate as to take along with them to their yearly meetings not only their weighty religious, but also, their political preachers too ! We only point to facts. early Meetings are here artd Friend Corwin is here to make iherri a political speech. How he came here, whether by the direct or indirect agency of Friends, or in neither mode, we are unable to say. lie is here, and tiiev arz here. Well, on Monday, at ten o'clock, the political rrieeting waii organized by the appointment of Hon. C. E. Smith; President, several whose names are not recol lected nor iuiortaiit, Vice Presidents; and Wm. A. Bicklc, Esq., Secretary. A committee of five Mr. Holloway chairirian was appointed to report resolutions. These being done, Mr. Smith introduced to the audience his " eloquent friend," Mr. Schenck, of Ohio, and pronounced upon him a short and fulsome eulogy, after which Mr. Schenck begad by returning upon Air. Soiiih a eulogy equally fulsome with that he had received, and proceeded to define war. His definition was as follows t ' A state existitig between two countries in which the people of each are arrayed against these of the other wth the view that the strongest should blow out the most brains, burn the most cities, ravage the most territory, and. In short, commit the greatest amourit of destruction upon the other." Tiiis definition differs somewhat from that of law-writers, at least so lawyers tell us, and that of Chancellor Kent, who says that the law of nations " is founded on the principle that different nations ouht to do each other as much good in peace; and a little harm in war, as possible, without injury to their true interests." And who d es not know that our armv hive constantly respected I he rights of the ! people of Mexico, mid have not blown out oiie quarterns many brains as they might have done After Air. Scl.eiuk had given the above definition of war, he. took sick, left the statid, add Mr. Smith occupied the hour for him. Afier dinner, resolutions were reported and adopted that killed Taylorisni in this State. Air. Corwin followed. He is portly; good looking man, and is certainly an eloquent speaker is a man of talent. The subject of his speech was the war with Mexico, his denunciation of which was unbounded. He charged it to have been wantonly commenced by Polk and his Cabinet, with the deliberate and cold-blooded intention of witnessing tinslaughter of their fellow citizens ; and thai the soldiers and tjjlccrs who fought it were weak, misguided men, acting by command of Polk, and thirsting for military glory. He refused to take the position that all fighting in war under all circumstances was wrong, but took the position that in, this tear, his country teas wrong, and Mexico rifit. lie entirely failed to convince of its trutn. W e have not time nor room to review his argument nor report his speech, but we understand it will be reported by a young Quaker stenographer who attended for the purpose, and we hope all will read it. We iliougi t that Mr. Corwin was unfortunate in one historical allusion, though we suppose be but intended to express his sentiments. In speaking of t,je uu disposition, as he deemed it, of free gov ernments to extend their territorial dominion, after referring to Greece and Rome, he mentioned the French lleoublic, and said that the wise writers of "s,ieu ne wouia neaa a popular power mat wou.u endanger all Europe, arid so he said it turned out; and in his remarks we understood him clearly and distinctly to take the Bourbon side of the French revolution question. Now, when we consider that the Bourbons were deposed by the French people ; that Bonaparte was made the head of the French Government by the French people, and that all Bonaparte's wars were prenc!l p(0pIe ',iad eminent und makinj nth in defence of tins simple principle; to wit : that the fight of creating What gov-vhnmsipi-pr ruler thev nleased. and that the IJourbon doctrine was, that the crowned ''d' v Ul"l)pc had a right to force a Bourbon ty; rtnl Vp" 1,1 pep, r Fra,,ce a a ru,cr' at lI,e Pint of the bayonet, 'e confess vie were astonished that T..,rt,. Corwin i.ol,l h,v n,. ii,t t thi !. and aje to endorse the old Bourbon dynasty of France, aud denounce the revolution's which, if they had not rt'vp lIial country perfect freedom!, have, at least, dvancPtl hor a lo,,-r slr,u3 towards that glorious consummation. The sentiments of Thomas Corwin will never meet the approval of the American people. We noticed Mr. Defives aud other gentlemen from Indianapolis, but neither Mr. Rinden nor Mr. Parker from this section of the State, in attendance. Show your Hands. The Erookville American, whose editor is much more far-sighted in some respects than many of his brethren of the whig party, is des'irous of having them show their hand. We think he is risht. If they intenJ to take sides with Corwin and the enemies of Ihe country, they should boldly avow it, that those who pre patriotic should not suffer in their company. Will they do it ! No!

INDIANAPOLIS, From the Waihington Union. Capping the Climax. We ct'py the following disgraceful correspondence from the " Boston Courier," with the introductory remark of the "New Yrk Globe." Otlr reade.s will perceive tnat this Mr jor Geretal Applcton Howe, .. mj . ... , Ulr kiiulinrr ?i militirr -m ti u - ... f.... . I A.iassaciiusctis, nas written a letter which would ai most add new infamy to the name of Benedict Arnold imsslf. We have no iinunation to dwe I upon the ... ..... . - salient points in this diMrustin? compound of arrant ... , r r r . . remains to be seen whether the setts will quietly submit to see Gen hold a commission which he has dishonored, and wear a uniform which he has disgraced. Amidst all the odious exhibitions of whig fanaticism in relation1 to the war which we have yet seen, no one approaches the unprovoked and cold-bKjoded enormity of this letter. The Hudsons, the Schencks, and the Corwins, of the list Congress, may at least plead the excitement of debate as a poor palliation of their ravings;. But what one shadow of excuse has Mr. Appleton Howe for thus, in his ofBcial capacity, attempting at once to heap insult and slander upon the cause of his country, and to outrage all the best feelings of the soldier and the p itriot, by profaning even the sacredness of the grave, and volunteering to blacken the name and fame of a brave man who has laid down his life as a sacrifice in the maintenance of her rights and her honor ! If there be one misrepresentation in this scandalous docurrtent more outrageoiis than the ret, it is its bold assertion that the present war was contrived for the purpose of "extending and perpetuating slavery." But Gen. Howe has rtot the honor of oriinat'in" this scandal. He has only the glory of repeating an assertion which was ' contrived " by the abolitioriists and their allies. Strange, indeed, that this outrageous assertion was made after the war had been sanctioned by the votes of Congress, and that the whigs did not resist the war, if there had been the slightest color of truth or even plausibility in it. Tiie assertion is false, come from what quarter it may. The claims of uur citizens on Mexico, the invasion of our own territory by her troops, and the shedding of tlio blood of our own people lipon our own soil, must all be overlooked in order to furnish a bold and outrageous r to calumny upon the Executive, upon Congress, upon our fellow-citizens, and especially the volunteers who have rushed to the standard of thfir country.

I have hitherto declined t accede to the requests of many peiMiu who dixsent fiom trie entiments contdned in ,ihe leilei, that ii hould be published; but, now that a call is also m ule by your-elf and the auihur in belwlf of those who approve ihem, and the act of giving them publicity cannot be viewed at an appeal to the .ympithy or piejodice of ei'her puty, I enclose Ihe letter, with a request that my letter of invitation and this communication be also printed wiih it. Ii hould be understood that the preliminary arrangements for the funeial lionor weie all completed (except the actual issuing the invitation to uch officer and citizens is might wish io join) previous to the invitation to General Howe, and aftei a voluntary iiilinution fro n one of his staff tlwt such a request as that contained io my note to him would be favorably received.

bloody graves in Mexico; if they do riot withdraw or desert to the enemy: In a word, both" entertain the same sentiments on these great questions. If there is any difference in their views, will the whigs show it, and j let us know why Mr. Corwin is more entitled to the Presidency thati Urrea himself. General Joseph Urrea, of ihe Mexican army, Commandant General, Inspector. of the Interior Eastern Stales, and in chief of the division of Observation, lo the American tnraders. Soldiers and volunteers of tbe American arrhy! the war that you carry on egainst Mexico is the most unjust and barbarous that can be conceived. Civilized nations detest it; they do not see in you the defenders of the rights of an injured country, but merely the touts of a man uilhout foresight, without calculation ; who; to obtain an unfortunate celebrity, has not feared seriously lo compromise a great people. Do not doubt it. Every sensible American will consider this war one of the most atrocious nature isent by Polk to Mexico and essentially iniquitous, because it is vandalic, and belies the severe republican principles that you afl profess, because it serves to convert the children bf Washington and Franklin into robbers and asasins. Sous of America ! let the world see you in a better light than in the miserable and odious character you now represent. Do not serce any longer the caprice of a man destitute of virtue or good j'teHng. Abandon his lines becad.se thty are not lliose of honorable men throw ynursflres into the arms of Ihe Mexican nation, who, magnanimous and forgiving, will forget the injuries you have committed. Here you will find ground to cultivate, honest occupation whereby to pain the necessaries of life, without great fatigue. You will find the sympathies of a generous people, end tie tranquillity of conscience otherwise not to be obtained ; because the man who attacks and destroys the principle of universal moral, which brings together nations as it does individuals cannot obtain it. Soldiers and volunteers! come to us and abandon the cause of crime I wait your appearance, and will receive you as brothers. JOSEril URREA: Tula de Tamaulipas, Aug. 12, 1311. And who, asks the Ohio Statesman, is this Urrea that dares thus address the American soldier! Who is this man that gathers up the slang of his all its in our midst and repeats them to our soldiers abroad! Read the sentences we have underscored, and ask, what whig is this in Mexico! We will tell you who he is or let the Flag tell it : "In a paper of the 13th August, from San Luis Totosi, with which we have been inbst courteously favored, we find a correspondence between Gen. Urred and Col. Carvajal. The latter wrote from Santa Carba on the 31st of July; tind Urrea from Tula on the lUth August. The correspondence regards certain charges brought against a Capt. Cavajai by the Defensor de Tamaulipas. Our readers would not be interested in the controversy: It is enough to say tliat the Defensor, a paper published at Victoria is continually exposing the out ages of the banditti', who, under Urrfa's command, commit almost as many excesses upon thsir own defenceless countrymen as upon American trains." "This Urrea, theri, is the leader bf a banditti that is robbing both his own countrymen and the Americans! He is thus pronounced by a Mexican paper printed at or near his head quarters. The leader of a gnr of robbers who expects to get office, honors and Money in Mexico by denouncing the war as a one man war, as Polk's war, just as ceftaiti men are expecting office, and its honors and emoluments, in this country, by the use of the same language yes, in Ohio, at your own doors, by the use of the very same language! The next proclamation we get from this robber, we expect will be in opposition to the acquisition of "any more territory" by our people, which he will especially uddress to the southern boIdier, in lieu of the Wilmot Proviso, repeating, that on that question, "we can all harmonize." A Home Thrust. The Meigs County Times, a whig paper printed at Pomery , in this State, has kicked up a dust with the party leaders generally, and the State Journalia particular. In a recent number, it thus hits off the "abominable recklessnes," and "base inconsistency," of its own party. The picture is a most faithful one. 'But tht-re is another thing connected with the policy of these 'leading Whig papers, which precludes us from taking them for a guide. It ii that sublime system of morality they have discovered, by which ilify are enabled to denounce the war as one 'unparalelled in iniquity,' and at ihe name time urge a more vigorous prosecution of it than the Administration itself.

I Indiana The Cincinnati Chronicle has the following in relation to this State. It was hastily written', hodouhr, and contains some trifling errors', but äs showing what others think of us, we give it without comment. INDIANA-ITS PHYSICAL ASPECT. The Släte of Indiana next to Ohio is remarkable for its natural advantages for agriculture aiid internal trade. Neither Ohio nor Indiana, are as xarbms in surface, soil and climate, as Tennessee, w hich has all the varieties of plants and atmosphere, which range Irom the cold air of the Cumberland mountains, to Indiana is inferior to Ohio in mineral resources, and in laR'e trade, two circumstances which, in addition to its fertile soil, has made Ohio the first of Western States. But Indiana lids some remarkable features, and we shall note two or three, as interesting in their relation tc western commerce, and the future progress of our country. Irt the first place, Indiana is grossly misnamed; it should have been called the State or Wabash. This is an original name, like Ohio, but it has a claim on other grounds, which is almost inevitable. The Wabash river, in proportion to its volume, irrigates more land than almost any other stream which can be found. The Wabash and its tributaries, water nearly twr thirds of all the counties of Indiana! Of eightveight ninety counties in this Slate, no less than fifty-five are watered by the Wabash river ! In estimating the value of rivtrs, it is quite common to consider only, or chiedy; their navigable or commercial advantages ; but this is a very erroneous method of estimating their value. The greatest value of a wa ter course, is its power of irrigation. The springs of the earth as in ancient Syria, in the tunes of Abraham and Jacob will supply water for the use of man and beast. Hordes, mules, and, in modem tlmes railroads, will supply the n.eans of commercial intercommunication. But nothing but a river; and its tributaries, can sufficiently irrigate and fatten the soil for great crops. Look at the Nile! Its value for shipping or boaf, is very little, but lis annual overflow creates the wealth of Egypt. S look at the Wabash, winding its way from jay county, on the eastern line, to Posey nn the southwest. Look at Tippecanoe, Eel, Salamonie, Mississinewa acd Wnile rivers, all tributaries of the Wcbäsh, fertilizing an immense extent of country. Except the main branch of the Wabash, those streams are impracticable for navigation, but of inestimable Value to the soil and production of the State. A large number of the counties which lie on the tributaries of the Wabash, are yet comparatively new and uncultivated; but whose population and produc tion, in a luture time, must be very great. Of the remaining counties, the Ohio river waters, 14 White Water, 4 Kinkahee, (a branch of the Illinois,) 3 Maumee of the lakes, 3 Lake Erie and its tributary, the St. Joshph's, 7 Thus we see the State of Indiana is finely irrigated, and that, when reduced to proper cultivation, its agricultural production must be very great. In a commercial point of view, a coast of three hundred miles on the Ohio, and of fifty on Lake Michigan, afford ample outlets, both North and South. The internal communications, which the State requires, are thoe which will connect it at Cincinnati, Madison and Evansville, on the Ohio Michigan City on Lake Erie and east and west lines, ly Railroads. The public men of Indiana have seen this, and, on nearly all these lines, have completed or prepared public works. There are already in the Siate, finished, or nearly finished, about four hundred miles .of canals, and sixty eighty miles of railroads. In the great scheming era of 1835-G-7, many other works wer commenced, and great capital sunk in fruitless undertakings. From that embarrassment, the Staie has nearly recovered, and the flourishing towns on tli'e Wabash and Whitewater, nnd the farmers of the Interior, are looking forward to a connexion , with Cincinnati, and throijgh Ohio, with the Atlantic ctiast. The surface of Indiana is about 33,( 0l) .square miles containing about twenty-four millions of acres It would maintain very easily eight millions of people. . - On the supposition tha t one fourth, pa it pf the State was cultivated in Indian corn, one fourth in wheat, and the remaining half left for pasture, woodland, &LC, the products of breadstuff's would be something like this ! t. Indian Corn, bushels: 200,000,(100 Wheat; do. 5O,(0O.OOO Potatoes, . do! lO.UUd.OOO This looks at first, a little ' astonishing but it is much under what the State could easily produce. It would feed feed ten millions of people,' and leave a large surplus ! This being the capacity, and riot much bVyond tli'e probable results of Indiana production, it behooves the commercia! world to look a little into it. There are four outlets for Indiana trade, viz : Cincinnati, Madison, Evansville, and Michigan Citv. (or some point on the lake.) The largest part of the trade of T .1 1 M . . 41 . f v : -i 1 juiuaiiii musk coiii iiiuc 10 uow 10 vwm uiiiaii uy rt ason of the magnitude, capital and centrality of Cincinnati, and by reason also of the vast chain of works of internal improvement, which now connects this city with the whole northern interior. The great object of Cincinnati, at present, in looking towards the west, is to strike, in a literally direct line, the heart of the Wabash valley. In this point of view, the various schemes for railroad improvements in that direction should be well considered by the commercial community here. We have thrown out this bird's-eye gla-ice at the physical strength of Indiana, that our traders may have the most important facts immediately before them. Mrs. Birnev The Somnambu'isl Preacher. In the Pittsburgh Presbyterian Advocate, we find the following account of a somnambulist preacher, Mrs. Birney, of Harrison county, Oiiio, written by one of the Theological students of the seminary in Alleghany city. , . . Mr. Hughes states that he heard her preach on the 8th August; and gives a statement in the article alluded to, of her conduct and discourse. She has been afHicted with' periodic neuralgia for the last eight years, and pu e.very other Sabbath at 111 o'clock in the morning, when tbe affection occurs, she sits erect in her bed, mikes a,prayer, takes a text, descants and exhorts from it, om up her argument, and closes the ;reat pom: in a rew minutes, however, ehe recovers her natural faculties. .Crowds attend Jo hear her discourse some from novelty and others for devotion. She lias long beqn a member of the Presbyterian church. lief own testimony added tq other facts convinces,, the wrüer that shejs unconscious, while in.the somnambulic state, and that she has no recollection of what has passed, when fully restored to reason. When we resided in Harrison .county, Ohio, we frequently heard Mrs. Birney preach, and can vouch tor the Post.

, day on which the steamer was got o'J the Dundrum bands, was the anniversary of tue day oa which she crew of' the Scourge, iiuder Commander Coffin, and about ISO men, all under the directions of Captain Ciaxtou and Mr. Bremincr, commenced operations in right earnest. As mmw as the vesel iKgnn to rise with the tide, ai.d attsin a floating position, the men at the capstan commenced to warp her olF, hauling on the anchors of the Rirkeuhead and on her own best bower. At half past 11 o'clock she was moved ii0 fathpms. or 40 feet to seaward, and was left in 4 position to float at even neap tide. .From Eundrum Ray the Great Rritain proceeded lo Belfast Lough, and subsequently to Liverpool. 1 Great were the rejoicings on welcoming her once more to the Mersey. All the ves-els, in port hoisted their flags. The piers, were crowded with dense masses of the populace. Canuon, too, resounded from most of the adjacent heights. , The ptincipal damage has teen evidently sustained by her thumping against the rocks at ,Duud rum, for, notwithstanding all the efforts made to make lujr water-tight, 156 men had to be constantly employed at the pumps during .the passage across ffrri':ri Uellast to keep her.clear, and as she came up the river, large quantities of water were pouring from her scuttles.

France. The eldest son of the late Duke of Trasin, only seventeen years cf age,, has committed suicide,' overwhelmed with the disgrace, fallen upon his family. Tl. Alfred Montesijuieu, son-in-law of Gen. Teyron, one of the first families in France, has stabbed himself, jri consequence of either gambling losses or of having committed forgery;' and, lastly, the Prince D'Eckmiht. son of the infamous Davoust, wh has br-eri deemed for some time insane, has stabbed Iiis mistress, o womon whom he had brought from Jndia: Feing a peer of France, he has not been arrpsted, but he is said to, be kept in close confinement by his friends. The etfcct.of these sd events in Paris is indescribable.,. Tue press with alihosjt one voice,, denounces the present corrupt .(.Jovcrnrnent as the origin of these social crimes. We perceive that nu-, merous prosecutions have been commenced against, influential journals.

Qrci Cacdli asd her JSrorst. A correspondent of the (J.'Ui)er de Etats Unis tells an anecdote of Queen Victoria and her rpnuse which may he taken a an illustration of the domestic manners of the Court, or tbe intention of the Court domestics, as the leader chooses. The royal husband, inviti d tf a fete, received permission to go, on condition that he would return by . midnight; but having let the latal hour pas by, the Princ lound, ou bis return., the door of the aparlmnit which he and his royal spous occupy, closed aeaitixt him. He calls no answer, tie beas the same ailenre. At lust,, impatient, he remounts hi carrige and drives lo ihe castle of Clermont, (1) where he goes lo lied ai.d seep ihe eep of the just man.
