I.UIANAlOLIS, AUGUST 11, 1849.

Hyrhe "Sentinel" talks about efficient State Organs. It baa been no "efficient" to lose the confidf nc of at least the Whilcomb portion of the Democracy of this State. Slate Journal, August 6. If there really be any such class as the"Whitcomb portion" of the Democracy of thl3 State, what evidence can the State Journal adduce, that we have lost its confidence! If it has any at hand, we are quite willing that it ball be given to the public. Of one tiling we are well satisfied in our own minds; and that is this: So far as honest intentions and zealous efforts, in the exercise of our duty as editors, and as members of the Democratic party are concerned, no "portion" of the party has just cause to withdraw ita "confidence" from us. We have at all time, and under all circumstance, been governed by the single desire of advancing the great interests of the Democratic party, in which, as we understand it, the best interests of the whole people of the State are intimately concerned ; and in steadily adhering to this course of action, we have been governed, not by the personal aspirations of any one individual, nor by the circumscribed notions of any class or clique, but simply by our own conscientious convictions of right and under the guidance of those authoritative exponents of the public will, the Stale Conventions of our party. It is not unlikely, that in pursuing such a course, we may at some time have run counter to the notions of others, and that too, to our own immediate individual injury; but it has been an opinion of ours, confirmed by experience, that the man who lacks the cour age to do this, when his judgment teaches him its necessity, is unfit to hold the position which we occupy. Results, so far as they äfftet the prosperity of a whole party, are the true tests of the propriety of any courpe of conduct or policy, which may be pursued by those who attempt in any way to aid or direct party action or efforts. And so far as results are concerned, thus far, we appeal to them in all confidence. While we acknowledge the fullest devotion and al legiance to the democratic party and its principles, we for that very reason refuse to admit that the interest of any one man, whoever he may be, can have superior or equal claims upon our services. If this be disloyalty to any "portion" of our party, 6o be it we are able to endure the penalty, and the more promptly it shall be enforced, the belter we shall like it. While we rely with the fullest confidence upon the judgment of the Democratic party, as to our course generally, we feel equally certain that the "Whitcomb portion." as the Journal calls it, (if there be any such marked division,) have nojnst cause of complaint against us. But if the Journal is aware of any such cause, it is at full liberty to divulge it. We are ever ready to meet, and are sure we can repel it. (fjr Our amiable and dignified neighbor of the Journal still persists in dubbing the Democrats elect as "Locos." This may suit his ideas, and may "bring grist to his mill," possibly. How would it sound if we were to dub its party as "Mexican?" Whire we charge several of its leaders will being such, we have too much respect for the mass of the whig party to apply, at this time to them, the name of "Coons" or "Mexicans." Western Rail Roads Cost. The late No. or the American Rail Road Journal published at New York, after publishing the election of officers, of the Indianapolis and Bellefontaine Rail Road Company, and the address of the President which appeared in this paper, says : "A railroad constructed upon the most permanent gravel basis, and with the most substantial oak superstructure, and a heavy T rail, so as to ensure the utmoM, durability and capacity, and the highest rate of speed, costing only $10,000 per mile, must make an Englishmen stare, who cannot get a charter through parliament for an equal sum, nor build a road for less than fifteen times as much money, yet we can assure him that the estimate of the gentlemen connected with this road are probably within the mark, the cheapness with which railroads can be built in the west will lead to their use there more universally than In any other part of the world, and they will soon become the ordinary means of transit both of travel and merchandize." A Noble Gift. Mynderl Van Schaick, the late democratic candidate for Mayor of New York, has conferred a deed of gift of two free 'scholarships in the New York University, upon the fire department of the city of New York, to be for the perpetual use of the sons of active and exempt firemen. To fill these scholarships the geuerous donor directs that those young gentlemen are to be preferred who are most distinguished for good natural parts, intellectual etil tivation, purity of personal character, and large en dowments of mind. The cost is $15T0 for each scholarship. This is indeed a noble gift, and was rpade, the N. Y. Globe says, solely from motives of disinterested benevolence and charity. Railboad Illinois. A gentleman of Greenville, Illinois, of intelligence, who has taken a deep interest in the success of the Central Railroad, writing to a friend of the Indianapolis and Bellefontaine Railroad, at this city, says, "The success of your enterprise I view as certain, and I have perfect confidence in the success of our continuation of the line from Terre Haute to St. Louis, if a Legislative facility of any sort can be obtained. The prospect of securing that facility is good." ———————— ----->Some days since the Sentinel, in an editorial article, stated that young Messrs. Norris and Culley, who started from this place en route for California had become discouraged, and were returning home ward. Since then letters have been received from these gentlemen, by which it appears they are yet on the way to the El Dorado.—<Journal>. Our information was from an authentic source, and was correct at the time, though the above may be correct <now>. _______ Embree Beaten in his own County ! Mr. Demagogue Embree is beaten in Gibson county, according to present information, from 15 to 20 votes ! The county gave Taylor a majority of 59. Such is ever the fate of the demagogue when he is found out to be such. Jo. Wright carries Parke county (so the Wabash Express admits) by a rrnall majority. What now be comes of the lying predictions of the Journal's Rock ville correspondent, over which the whig papers made themselves so merry for a while! CT In Wayne county 1 17 votes were lost to ou candidate for Lieutenant Governor, by that number being given for John H., insti-ad of James II. Lane, He can get along without them, however, as his ma jority will be larger than Wright's. 07" The vote fur the free soil candidates for Gov ernor and Lieutenant Governor in Indiana ii light Wavne pave Cravens 569. Wright SGI. It will not go beyond 3 or 4000 in the State. Remarkable. A colored man by the name of Jesse Perkins, resident of town, during the prevalence of cholera lost his wife and several children. Having two small children lefr.he was advised to take them and leave the place, which he did immediately. He went to the neighborhood ofBruceville in Knox county, where one of the children was attacked and to all appearance died. The coffin was made and the grave dug, when, strange to relate, signs of life were discovered, a physician called in who administered medicine, and the child is now in the enjoyment of good health. Washington (la.) Journal.

Published every Thnrsday. North Carolina. According to the telegraphic news, the following is the result of the election for members of Congress in North Carolina. Whigs elected: 1st District, Clingman; 2d, Cald well; 3d Duberry; 4ih, Shepherd; 9th, Outlaw. Democrats elected : 5th District, Venable; 6th, Daniel; 7ih, Ahe. In the 8th District, the contest is rl.iec between Lane, Democrat, and Stanley, Whig. The chances are in favor of Stanley. If Stanley be elected the delegation will stand the same as in the last Congress. Old Kentucky. The Covington Union extra of the 7th, contains the result of the first day's voting in several counties Kenton, Boone, Campbell, - Maon, Gallatin, &c. Tl:cre seems to be hope that Stanton, dem., will beat Gaines, whig, in the 10th district. The Union says: The returns as far as received are of the most cheering character! Federal whiggpry, with all its concomitant evils is now beir.g swept off our District. The "High Priest of Kentucky Whiggery" is now lowering on His Throne. His ranks are broken, and his men all along the lines arc giving way. Charge, boy 8, ciiarge ! and a glorious victory awaits you ! ! Tennessee Election. Trousdale, democrat, is elected Governor by about 3,00 majority. Ewing, dem., is elected to Congress in the Nashville District, by 73 majority. The Democrats have carried the State Senator and Legislator here, and gained three members of Congress. Our democratic exchanges are full of the glorious news from that State. Whiggery is completely routed. Taylor's Luck. The herald of the " Heroic Age," continues to proclaim, through the Washington Union, in his own unique way, the glories of the present hermaphrodite administration. From one of his latest chapters, under the head of Fishermen's Luck," we copy the following. The writer is among the few who do not fully believe in Zachary Washington's military, as well an his civil infallibility. By the way, certain communications, signed "Hunterdon," and published a whil ago in the rennsylvanian, might be, perhaps with advantage, republished in the Union; at least so fir as Taylor's military perations are made the subject of just criticism. The truth is therein demonstrated, that success alone hielded Taylor from the just penalties due to his negligence and his blunder-. Our herald says "The Second Washington was lucky in going to Mexico to fight the battles of his country. He was uckv in getting back from tort Brown to Point Isa bel without being forced to fiht a battle without am munition. He was lucky in fighting the battle of Bufna Vista against orders, and, as he said, with a lalter about his neck, after the extraordinary capitu lation of Monterey. He was lucky in having men fitted for the service he was lucky in having a Worth, a Wool, and a Childs to aid him. lie was uckv in getting back from Saltillo to the field of Buena Vita without being cut off by the Mexican cav alry. He was lucky in having his letters well in dited; in having his pledges short, sweet and com prehensive; in having weak opponents in the whig ranks in Philadelphia ; and in having democratic friends in the country, who really thought him a better democrat than Gen. Cass, and a truer patriot than Washington ; and now, when the affairs of btate be gin to press heavily upon him, h'w lucky he is in having a cabinet who desire to do all his business for him, and monopolize all his patronage and power." Here is another, though different incident of Iwk: "The appointment of the son of the Hon. John Davis, of Massachusetts, as secretary of legation at the court of St. James, was 6trange, considering the manner in which the secretary of legation went out upon his mission. We are informed that he sailed ast month as the forerunner of iJr. Lawrence, bear ing Mr. tfancrun 8 letter of recall. Ut course he acts as minister ad interim, and will get $9,000 out fit and minister s full nay, until Mr. Lawrence pre sents himself at the English court with his creden tials. We undertand that this will be the uphot of the matter: Acting Minister Davis will get sO.000 outfit, and bona ßde Minister Lawrence will get $9,000 outfit, and Uncle Sam will have to foot th bill; and this, too, to enable the man who has no friends to reward and no enemies to punish, to recall George Bancroft, and exalt the high tariff cotton spinner of Lowell. No more forty shilling shawls will now be seen at Queen Victoria a court, and no more Ameri cans will go without bird dinners at the American ambassador s house, while Lowell twirls her spindles, and Abbott twirls his thumbs. Said we not that there was luck under the deuce ! If we did not say so. wc ssy it now ; and those who do not believe us, bad better look again at the thermometer." Among the newest cholera notions. 3 "Ihe India rubber cholera bag," which the faculty of this city have brought into use. This is a bag made flat like a lifc-prpservpr, to he filled with steaming hot water. and applied instead of the mustard plaster, on the stomach of the patient. The advantage is said to he in the less time in winch it does its work of heating the body, in its superior handiness, cleanlinees, &c. The hospitals are provided with them ; and thousands of private families keep them on hand, to be ready for immediate use in case the disease makes its ap pearance in the household. Jour, of Com. If it be inconvenient to procure the above, a tubstitute for, and something better than the apparatus. may be obtained in a brick or stone, hot, but not hot1 enough to hiss when immersed in water; which hot brick or stone may be enveloped in a damp cloth, and if you please, also wrapped in flannel. This is a great deal better than a dry heat, as the hot vapor aids much in stimulating the eltin to perform its natural functions, by reducing constriction of the capillary vessels, &.c ("Garibaldi, the Italian patriot, who has become so famous as one of the leaders of the republican movement at Rome, once lived at Cincinnati. Ind. State Senlinel. Our cotemporary has been sadly hoaxed. Cin. Lnq. We merely copied from a Cincinnati paper, and it is not the first time we have been led into error by giving credence to the idle stories of the Peter Funk concerns of that city.

He will leave Washington on the 9t.h and pass through York and Lan caster to Harriiiburgli, where he will spend Sunday. Thence he goes west via Uecbrd Springs to Pitts burgh, where he and Gov. Johnson will arrive on the 19th. He will then cross over to the Lakes. and return through Buffalo, Albany, New York and Phila delphia, to Washington. The old fellow of coo rso will leave plrnty of land patents" already signed for the use of Col lamer and Ewing during his absence. 07" Ey reference to the official table in another clumn, it will be seen that the school law of 1813-9 is adopted by Marion county by a majority of 146 votes. It will be seen altjo that there is a majority of of 347 against calling a convention to revise the Constitution of the State. . 0" The returns now received indicate that the majorities of Wright and Lane, the democratic can didatei fur Governor and Lt. Governor, will be about 10,000.

A Sap Story Effect of the Wilt.. We have the following from a source perfectly reliable A Few days since there came to the Fourth Street Hospital a family of six person, husband and wife, two sons and two daughters. The females were all sick the mother in the last stages of cholera. The resident physician told the father and sons, that the wife and mother was dying and could not be saved. She was however received, and with the girls cared for as well as the nature of the circumstances would permit. The girls were not very sick but the father and sons determined to stay and nurse them and the mother. They were told they could do no good were already weaned with watching, and to preserve their health, had better go away, and get at least one night's rest. They were persuaded on the following morning early, they called, and were informed that the mother had died but the girls were getting bet ter. They were shown into the room where the corpse was laying. .The father (a middle-aged man) looked at it a few moments, calmly folded bis arms and said, "I have lived long enough in this world I am ready to die, EiT'irts were made to cheer him, but to no purpose. He walked back into the yard, paced through it a short time with bis arms folded, and his eyes fixed on the ground returned into the Hospital, and said he was sick. The Physician told him he thought not, urged him not to give away to his feelings and wished bim to walk out. . He replied "I am tick, and must lie down." He threw himself upon a bed, his feet and hands immediately began to cramp, and without purging or vomiting, in a short time he was dead. boon after the father was attacked, the two boys sank down in the same way, and it was not long after his death, before they were both in the spirit land. The girls are convalescent. This may, in a measure account for what some have considered contagion, in cholerataking one atier another in a family, until they are all gone, The progress of the disease is 8J rapid, many of the death-bed scenes so heart-rending, that, upon svmpathetic minds, not accustomed to such scenes they must have a powerfully dangerous influence. Cm. Com. O'COXNELL ON THE ROMAN QUESTION. "One -CVO ning, in speaking of Shakspeare, O'Connell said, I am certain he was a Catholic. In his writings you will find his priests and friars good men. This circumstance is very remarkable, when we consider that he wrote at a period when abuse vf Popery would have naturally been practiced, to coort the ruling powers by any writer who was not a Cat hol c himself." "In the play of King John," observed Mr. Lucas, (the editor of Tablet,) "Shakspeare J.hows strong disinclination "to give temporal power and authority to the rope." v "That," replied O'Connell, "is a perfectly Catholic sentiment, and one in which I fully and cordially participate, so far as concerns the Pope's actual dominion."

It is taken from the Western Law Journal, and will be called a good hit: Examiner do you smoke, sir! Candidate I do. Have you a spare cigar ! Yes, sir (extending a short six.)

When does your position towards your client change! -When making a bill of costs. Explain ? We then occupy antagonistic positions, as I assume the character of plaintiff, and he becomes defendant. A suit decided, how do you stand with the lawyer conducting the other bill ! Cheek by Jowl. Enough, sir; you promise to be an ornament to your profession, and I wish you success. Are you aware of the duty you owe me 3 Perfectly. Describe it. It is to invite you to drink. ' Suppose I decline ! (Scratching his head.) There ia no instance of this kind on record in the books ; I cannot answer the question. You are right, and the confidence with which you make the assertion shows that yon read the law attentively ; let's take the drinka and Til aign your certificate. 07" Why is a lady getting married in in error!

IComc xi ml the Gauls. If ever one notion had a hereditary rieht to hate

another, that right h-longs to the Italian?, and more especially the Romans, towards the French. From the earliest hUforical periods, Italy has been invaded, plundered and devastated by the Gauls. The Erst mentioned irruption of these barbarians was B. C. 622, or about 130 years after the f. undation of Rome, when Uellovcsus led them across the Rhone and the Alps, and subdued the regions now called Piedmont and Lombardy. Not longr afterwards, another horde, from the repion between tho Seine and Loire, or middle region of modern France, tmbdued, end of course devastated, all the rest of Italy North of the To. Two other hordes afterwards seized all Sooth of the Po to Tuscany, including Bologna. The fifth Gallic invasion was under Brenntis about B. C. 400, when Rome was captured and burned. The Gauls invaded Italy several times after this, till they were invaded and subdued in turn by the Romans under Ca?sar. But while the Gauls, in all thee Invasion, had devastated and destroyed every thing and created nothing, the Italians, after thtxr conquest of Gaul, civilized, im proved and filled it with prosperity. ' After the destruction of the Roman, and the estab lishment of the French and German empires, Italy was frequently invaded, and as often devastated, by the French, the successors of the Gauls. It was It was invaded and conquered by Charles VIII in 1491; by Louis XII in 1499; by Francis I in 1515. In all these in vasions, the t rench, like their progenitors, the Gaul, marketf-their progress with fire and sword. Ihe French were driven out of it in 1527, by the Germans and Spaniards; and aa Pope Clement VII was the ally of the I: rench. the victors took Rome by 8ssanlt, and committed excesses upon the city and its inhabi tant, exceeding1 even the atrocities of the Goth. Vandals and Hun3 in their captures of the eternal city. And here too the captors, though not French, wore commanded by a Frenchman, the celebrated traitor Constable of Bourbon, who promised to his brutal army the p!under of the city. We next And the trench in Kome in when they deposed the l ope, and aided the Ivomans in proclaiming a republic. B-it they soon after superseded this republic w ith a French military dtfpotism, which plundered Rome of it monuments to adorn Paris. After the ri.c of Napoleon Bunaparte, Italy was entirely conquered by Ihti trench, and first divided into Ihe Cisalpine and Ligurian republics, and afterwards into the kincdms of Italy and Naples. Under this last rule Italy flour ished, thougli Rome was robbed of the works of art winch the French republicans had iiot carried oiT. But we must remember that this Italian prosperity was due to Napoleon, King of Italy, and his sister Caroline, Queen of Naples, both Italians! In all these invasions of Italy, from the earliest Gallic Io the latest French, the invaders have exhib ited the same characteristics, treachery, cruelty and rapacity. But atrocious as were all thes assaults, their combined wickedness is exceeded by that of the present invasion by the modem Gnuh under the mtdrrn Brennus, Gen. Oudinot, obeying the orders of the trench executive and ministry. We must remember that everv member of this ministry is a Frenchman, and that President Louis Napoleon has not a drop of Italian blood in his veins. His mother was the daugh ter of the French Gen. Beauha rnois and of the Em press Josephine, herself a French Creole. This mother, Hortense Beauharnoi, married Louis Bona parte, Napoleon's brother, and King of Holland ; and from this marriage President Bonaparte claims his birth. But all the real Bona partes say openly, according to European accounts, that, he is the illegiti mate and adulterous son of a r renchman. If so, as his mother was purely French, he can claim no blood from Italy. This point is interesting to Italy merely in showing that, the present deceiver and oppressor of Rome belongs to that Gallic race whom the Ital ians have so many nncient and modern reasons for cordially hating. Hence every Italian patriot can say, 44 1 thank God for that, the head of the modern barbarians who revisit Rome with perfidy and cruelty, is not an Italian, but a genuine Gaul, a worthy representative of his race through all their history in Italy." We know not what the French government intend to do with Rome, but fear that, with characteristic want of foresight, they intend to aid the monarchsof Europe in suppressing its republican aspirations. Perhaps the bribe to the French President is an im perial crotcn, and the possession of all Italy except ing Naples, to be confirmed to its tyrant, and Lombardy and Venice to be conSrmed to Austria. Ger many is to remain as before the revolution, or perhaps be united under Prussia; Russia is to have Austrian Poland and a free passage to Turkey, and Austria is to have Illy ria. Perhaps this is the game. But will not the " Holy Alliance" cheat 1 Willjit not, after Hungary and Turkey are subdued, and republicanism suppressed everywhere, form mother coalition against France? This alliance will not surrender legitimately and thus sanction revolution; and Louis Napoleon is not legitimate ! A real French statesms u would have sustained federal republicanism in Germany and Italy, and thus have raised French barriers on two sides against Russia. But for some reason, yet impenetrable, yet apparently in conflict with common sense, the French have abandoned their allies in Germany, and crushed them in Italy. Their policy is suicidal, as well as fratricidal, and proves, we fear, a total destitution of morals in French politicians. This last crime against Italy will stamp France with indelible infamy. We shall hereafter show the deplorable want of political Fsgacity, of statesmanship, in r rench pontics, from the accession jof Charles X to the present time. Fa. Ledger. I'KODVCE OF JLJHE.A.DSTCFFS 1 At-LACY OF A HOME Market. Frofessor Lewis C. Beck, of Rutger's College, fenn-, in a report on the subject of the breadstuff of the United Stales, estimates the aggregate amount of agricultural products of the Uii'teJ States, convertible into breadstuiFs or its substitute, at about 9D0 millions of buhels annually, of which nearly oiif-iialf is Indian corn, lie estimates the quantify of wheat annually produced at 100 millions of bushels. Of this vast amount of agricultural pro ducts, the amount required for home consumption, ns estimated by Trofesor B., does not exceed 300 mil lions. Commenting on these statements, the commercial writer of the Philadelphia Ledger remarks: "Of course, the immense surplus is subject to exportation ; so that it is not too much to assume that our country is destined to be the granary of the world. What stronger argument than this can be piven of the present policy of unrestricted trade. Aduj.t the restrictive measure of those who would reinstate the tariff of 1942, and what would be the condition of the great agricultural interest of this country! What would be the price of the six hundred millions bushels excess of produce! If the foreign market should be cut off, what would become of the farmer 1 What would be the financial condition of the country, if this, its greatest source of wealth, should be rendered unproductive! Another matter, of no inconsiderable importance, is, what would be the price of domestic manufactures, if the consumers were, bjr prohibitory taxes, confined to the produce of our own mills, freed from the competition of other sources !" The "Coming Man" for Canada. The following appears in theFrench republican journal, Lt Moniltur. It is a description of the coming man that individual to whom is to be entrusted the re-organization of Canada: Prophecy. Canada will become free, and will bo annexed to the United States in five years. Upper Canada will form one State, Lower Canada a second, and New Brunswick a third. -Independence of tho country will be obtained by means of petitions addressed to the parent country, signed by men of all parties, and among others by 00,000 Canadians. Lord Elgin will never go back to England. The first Governor of the State of Lower Canada will be a man of middle age, who, just now is living very retired, equally unknown to all parties. He is a Canadian in heart and feeling. His mother is a Canadian, but his father is of English origin, although born in Canada. It is this double character, meeting in him, which will cause Lira' to be advanced to the Presidency by the almost unanimous voice of the people. Louis Joseph Papineau will not be one of the first Io declare himself in favor of the annexation, although he longs for it with all his heart His name will be glorious iu the future dans ravenir.) AW the Canadians will unite to send him as their representative to the Senite in Congress. Believe this, or believe it not, as suits you; it will turn out (he same in the end." La Democratic Pacifique says that Lamartine "Meditations," and some of his other works, have been translated into Chinese by order of the Emperor.
