INDIAN APOLIS. SElTILTinCi: 20. 1819. Ilallrond Sleeting. Remember the Railroad meeting this afternoon at ONE o'clock, at the Court House, to appoint delegates to the St. Louis convention. OCtTIip Board of Health of Lafayette, Ind., informs the public, in a report dated on the 10th tnst., that cholera has entire! disappeared from that city, no case having appeared for ten days previous thereto. Or-The Tennessee delegates in the Philadelphia convention voted unanimously for Taylor n every ballot, and the peopleof Tennessee gave him over six thousand majority. How bitterly must ho have disappointed them, when they turn against him in five months !

fj7Tho?e miserable mountebanks the "Shaker Family," were here again this werk. They did not take monoy enough to pay their license. We are much gratified that our citizens had the good taste and good- sense to treat tu em with deserved contempt. .fJrSt. Louis is getting rather a bad name on account of the number of murders, burglaries, &.C., committed there of late. On the nizht of the 9th f September there were six cases of highway robbery and two murders in the vicinity of the city ! Straws. In Howard county, Missouri, the resi dence of Jackson, the author or the resolutions in structing Col.

On the whole, this company is about the most respectable, and the best worthy o" public patronage, of any which has visited this place. The proprietors are gentlemen, and, unlike some we could name, manage to get along without insulting every one with whom they have business. If people will go to circuses, let them go lo Crane &. Co's. whenever opportunity oßlrs. Gen. Tatlob in Tennessee. A correspondent of the Nashville Union gives a curious illustration of Taylor's popularity. It seems that in Shelby county, embracing Memphis, the democracy gained 152 votes! In Montgomery county, embracing Clarksille, 102 gain to the democracy ! In Davidson county, embracing Nashville, 325 gain to the democ racy ! ! In the three counties given, the aggregate democratic gain was 519, and the aggregate vote was 7,711. Q&"lf the only three counties that Taylor visited on his way to Washington, out of a popular vote of 7,711, gave a democratic gain of 579; what would have been the democratic gain had he visited the whole State, giving 120,000 votes ! As the Slate Journal is death on figures, will it please cipher it up and give us the result ? A Prettt Republican Representative. Robert Walsh our Consul at Paris, the regultr correspondent of the Journal of Crmxmerce speaks thus of the Czar. We are eure such a sentiment can meet no response, among the Republican People who are so outrageously misrepresented by this traitor placeman and monarchist in disguise. Emperor Nicholas is an honest man. This is the impression which he makes on all who see and hear him in private, and which all his public acts and declarations have left. Look at his acts and declarations against struggling, patriotic Hungary. Epidemic among Tostm asters. A new disease his broken out and prevailed very extensively among postmasters during the present summer, by which thousands of that useful c'o?3 of men have suddenly pa4ed off from the stage of otlicial life, fucelioaely eays the Washington Union. It is a disease of very mysterious and insidious character. It comes upon its victim without premonition or warning. No symptoms indicate its approach, and of course, no remedies of the healing art can arrest its attack, which is always fatal. Its victims are seized in the very midst of health and activity, and are jUrrjet away instantly. And, what is most peculiar and re-; markable in its bistorv, its presence is only known ' , , , , , - , , , by a single Tact tatal, or course, to the unfortunnic , cbject the suJJtn faKin? off of the head. Of the . . . origin of this disease nobody knows. It is shrouded in more obscurity and mystery than the cholera. It , , ' .

Published every Thursday. The Abduction Case. We have given, from time to time, a number of paragraphs in relation to tho abduction, from New Orleans, of a man named Ret, late a resident of Cuba, but who came to this country intending to make it his residence; and, whatever ground may at any time have existed of the actual commission of so great an outrage upon our laws as was stated, there is now no room for doubt. By the arrival at New Orleans, on the 23d ultimo, of the brig Adams Grey, Capt. Schneidau, from Havana, whence .lie sailed on the loth ult., the editors of the papers of that city have received file's of Ha vana papers to that date, from which, and from letters from their correspondents, full particulars have been obtained of the whole nefarious proceedings. From the account in the Picayune we extract the following, which is fully corroborated by a more detailed account in the Delta: Capt. Schnri.leaa iufoims 01 that Rejr U in ption in the Fott, (Principe ) On or about the firit iosi., the CaptainGeneral rent fur bin and bad him taken to hit piirate residence, wheie, in the pretence of several law) era aol of Gen. Campbell, he lu-k hit deposit ion, a duplicate of which was handed t" that tracer. The document, it i understood, waa furwaided by oar CodihI to the U. S. District Attorney in this city. II 11 alto reported in Havana that Key had refused the protection iffeied him by Gen. Campbell, on board the Andrew Jim, but bis refusal w gireo in consequence uf the Havana authorities being present at the lime. Afterwaids, Key adJiessed two leiten to tbe American Couiul, asking protection. Capt .cbneiJeao brought 3epatchei fiorn Gen. Campbell for the General Government, which were forwarded on to Wahinton thia morning. With these despatches are encloierl.it ii aaid, tbe two letters uf Rey one silting that he hid been at ducted, and the other prajing for tbe intervention of the American Government in his behalf. We learn from Capt. S. also, that on his deparluie from Havana, the captain of the port told him, if the Americans nanted Hey they would have to come and take him. Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Havana to a friend in New Orleans: The man J. Key, alias Garcia, about whom there is so much ado in your city, is in solitary confinement in a cell (calabozo) in the Castle del Piincipc. Fr. m (he Delta we extract the greater portion of a letter from an intelligent correspondent ofthat paper, which gives a full and clear sloteutei.t of the whole transaction,, as derived from the unfortunate prisoner himself. This letter is dated at Havana, August 8th, and is as follows: Juan Garcia Rey anirerl here from. your pott in the A merino schooner Mary Ellen, Capt iin Jame McConnell, clan destine!'. This vessel, upon her ariival here, was placed in quaianline, and repot led no passengers; but it is well known to the authoutirs here, that such a man existed on boaid as one of the crew, lo older to call the attention of the publie every thing remained silent the public being ignorant nf soch a pernios arrival here: nor was it known until the day of the drparme of said chooner,he having discharged and loadtd in the quarantine the latter being a very unosn il thing -by w hirh means she avoidi d a part of quarantine, and the aaid Juan Gaicia Rey was tiansferred to the Ameri can biig Andrew Rinjr, Captain Franklin, also in quarantine, wmcn was u Deo the public became aware that lias man Lad been abducted. Upon thee facts becoming known, our worthy Consul, Gen. Campbell, immediately applied to (he Captain of the Poit fo; an order to go to the quarantine ground, and thcie communicate with the person in Question. This visit was effected about fire o'clock, P. M., when the Consul was ac companied by the Captain of the Poit, and on approaching tsfikietitly close to the vessel to le able to converse, he. the Consul, commenced abkine Juan Garcia Rev the questions he thueht adap'ed to t h c-e, viz i "Ate rou the Alcalde of the ju" Ans. let." "Did you come passengei on the schooner Mary Lllrn, Ciptaio McConnell?" Ans "Yes." The Captain of tbe Port then cbjected to the Consul asking such questions, lo which tbe Consul replied, that be would not be dictated to by him, and continued questioning Rey; out it Dec am apparent to the numerous persons whu were along ide listening; to the communication, that the man was laboiin unper great fear, nd, in fact, refused t communicaie futthrr with the Consul, in the pteoeiice of the Caotiio of the Pott, but addr ssed the Consul on the following day. ry icner, wnicn letter was detained Dy tbe Spanish authorities, until thiy had Juao Gaicia Rey safely ironed in the dungeon of the jil where the unfortunate moital now lies ! It was then thai this letter was delivered to Geo. Campbell, wnicn on peruai, be immediately demanded ot tbe Cptaiu General permission to have an interview with Juan Garcia Rey in the dungeon, in the presence of two witnesses, which be, tbe Consul, would select, and which demand, after a lai-e of thited.ys to consider upon, tea refused by the authorities.' The Contents cf Jiun Gucia Rey's leitet distinctly states that, he claims tke protection of the American Government a l-o that he was foiced on boaid the Ameiicau chooner Mary Ellen, by Dn Csilos de Ks pan a, the -Spanish Consul at ISw Urleana, Capain Jas. McConnell, and six men t that when fuiti'jly deliveieJ on the schooner's deck, he was taken to the cil'in, and thoe confined. In the attempt to rescue himself, he was kirked in the fit of the stomach by Don Caiio de Kp: na and James McConnell, which left him insensible. After the eel was tinder way, in expostulating wnn the Lapt tin. be told bin he was amenable to the laws of Ihe Unili-d State for bi conduct, when the said Ciptain plied that bo would do as he damned pleased. iiniK incur uncii,.:amnca me uws ma,sij eouoiiy,ana lenow that he h,d .th 'id J,un Garci KT j" P"in.

Franklin had orders not to allow this man to communicate with any one, either by letter or word of mouth. - The letter Juan Gar cia Rey wrote, waa sent aa coming from tbe Captain nf ma ueaiui-Doni, wnicn visits tne quarantine grounds daily ; but lor ell that, was detained by the authorities.. The consignee here, and part owner of the schooner Ma iy Ellen, Duu Ramon Seeumbeny, icpeatedly told ths Con sul and otheis, that no such patenger came in the vessel, insomuch 'nt tie patiliely asserted that the Captain ol the Port had offered to facilitate him with a 'certificate to prove that (act fur the saltation of Capt McConoc II ia Naw Or bad this msn on his crew list, he took c od care not lo lian.mit the same lo tbe Aroeiiciu Consul here, which ia bis duty to ! do. fur fear of detection. The Delta adds--"The fact of Rey's abduction is further confirmed by sx deuial of the authorities that any passenger came by the Mary Ellen; a denial made even to General Campbell, which that gentle man discovered to be false, upon going to the quar antine gound. It is also shown that Captain McCon n-ll denied even to his consiffnees and other persons . that he brought any passenger, that no report of one was made, nor any registry of his name made in the lo-'ks nf the Captain of the Port. We also learn that theie is no doubt in Havana upon the minds of any persons, Spaniard or American, of the abduction, nor is it justified, except by those who are connected with the Government. We find in the Crescent a series of document, from the Captain General of Spain to the Spanish Minister at Washington, intending to invalidate the statement made by Rey.

Aiy object ti to identity Juan uareia, to ascertain whether he came a passenger on board the schooner Mary Lila, from INew Urleans; and if ao, whether his com ing was voluntary, or whether, aa slated in the papers, lie had been carried from N.

Ihe news from that quarter continues Mind, unsatisfactory, and as full of contradictions as ever. Tho Wiener Zeitung publishes what it calls an ex planation ot the manner in which ueorgy s surrender was brought about, lue document contains 60 little that is new, that it is not deemed advisable to quote it ; for whilst it carefully informs the public of all the circumstances of which they arenlready advised, it with equal care rechews throwing any liuht upon the circumstances of the case which are still open to lite broadest doubts and suspicions.

Frauds upon Hie Treasury A Washington correspondent of the New York Herald, a Daner well known as one of the first and I moHt efficient supporters of Gen.

It liiere is no Uw by which he can be bronoiit before a jury of twelve men, and jus'ice meted out to him, let the whole people of the whole country form themselves into a jury and try him lipo his merits. Let the terrible sentence of a public condemnation and the hisses and scorn of all honest men follow him whereevcr he goes. iV. A. Dem. "An Unknown Land. The English have recently made a settlement at Aden, near the Red Sea. Having once obtained a foothold, they, English-like, begnn to push about them, and one, f their first discoveries was a river where none was marked upon any chart, and upon this they steamed 3ll0 miles without finding the least obstruction. Having now passed round this continent, let us look up in the interior. For half a Century the English government have been expending lives and treasures in a partial exploration. They hive found that this whole tract of country is one of amazing fertility and beauty, abounding in gold, and all sorts of tropical vegetation. There are hundreds of woods, invaluable for dying and architectural purposes, not found in other portions of the world. Through it for thousands of miles sweeps a river, from three to six miles broad, with clear water and unsurpassed depth, flowing on at the rate of two or three n.iles an hour, without rock, shoal or snag to interrupt its navigation. Other rivers pour into this their tributary waters, of such volumes as must have required hundreds of miles to be collected, yet they seem scarcely to enlarge it. This river pours its waters into the Atlantic through the most magnificent delta in the world, consisting perhaps of.a hundred mouths, extending probably fire hundred miles along the coat, and mostly broad, deep, and navigable for steamboats. Upon this river are scattered cities. some of which are estimated to contain a million of inhabitants, and the whole country teems with a dense population. Far in the interior, in the very heart of the continent, is a nation in an advanced state of civilization. The grandeur and beauty of portions of the country through which th Niger makes its sweeping circuit are indescribable. In many places its hanks rine boldly a thousand feet, and arc thickly covered with the richest vegetation of tropical clime. But all this vast and sublime country, this scope or rich fertility and romantic beauty, is apparently ehut out forever from Ihe world. It is the negro's sole possession. He need not fear thc incursions of the white man "there; for over this whole lovely country moves one dread malaria, and to the white man it is thc "valley of the shadow of death." In expedition after expedition sent out from the English ports on thc island of Ascension, not one in ten has returned alive all have fallen victims to this seemingly beautiful country. It Seems impossible for an Englishman to breathe that air. So dreadful is it so small tbe chance of life, that criminals in England have been offered pardon mi condition of , volunteering in this service, more terrible than that of gathering the poison from the fabled upas. Tli id countrv, tempting as it is, can only be penetrated at thc risk of life, and it is melancholy to think that those who have given us even the meagre information that we have, do it at the sacrifice of their lives. The only tolerable account which we have of this country is published by a Swiss officer in the eerviro of the Egyptian" government, who was a member ot an expedition fitted out by XVlenemet Ali. lie could give but little account of the country, however, only that they saw races or the most degraded negroes, ana some one epccimeris or iiuoiiimy in oiner races, One tribe averaged, both men and women, seven feet in stature. . Auditoi: of State. The People's Friend names Mai. Mace as a suitable candidate for the above eta-, tion at the approaching Session of thc Legislature, and as he has made sacrifices for the party, and is a good man for the omce, there will surely be no cbj jectioti by his political friends.

The Rust has attacked the potato firlds in the viein- ' ty of Belfast, Maine. Until now, the potato has bid fair to yield a larger crop than for a number of years. rsow it will be much better than last, if the potatoes do not rot in tbe ground. Town Hall in St. Louis.

A vessel came to Provincetown on the 27th ult. which bad been out since the 17th of July, and had only caught forty-faur barrels. The fleet with which she was connected did no better. If the fishermen continue to have as bad luck through the season, mackerel will be scarce and high. Irreverent Doings or Revekend Individuals. Tho following appears in the Nashville Gazette of last week : A couple ot reverend gentlemen, one from Alabama and the other from Mississippi, were ap prehended on Friday night, as thieve. They were innocent cf theft; but as they were caught in a house of ill fame, the matter caused considerable street talk."

This is about twice tho number of slaves owned by Gen. Taylor, and he is "not an ultra. Whig," either. "Where s I ilmore and r ree boil!"

The "Dry Goods Reporter," published in New York, etates a circumstance in relation to the successful competition of Anu-riran manufacturers with foreign, which speaks volumes in favor of the Domestic Tariff of 1849. It ays, the "further importation ol moupseline de laines for American vonsumption must prove a losin? business. We have examined the patterns of the foreign fabric in comparison with the produc tion of our own manufactories, and are ea tie tied that the former must yield the palm to tbe latter, both in point cf style and finish."

If they dare to bring this raee to trial, they will leant that tbe alien and sedition law was not revived Willi tbe election of the second Washington; and it may also be made apparent that it never flourished under the administration of the brst. 1 e intolerant opinions of old John Adams's administration, cannot be engrafted upon our government, at the present day; and we have no fear of his triumphant acquittal, if our friend Harper can only persuade them to bring the case to trial. We regret to observe that the Pittsburgh Mercury, a paper purporting to be democratic; has taken ground against ita democratic cotemporary, in this matter. The reason may be. that the editor of the Mercury is a recently converted Whig, and the especial organ of the cotton manufacturers ir reonsyivama, ana tne editor of the Post is a uniform Democrat, and an ar dent advocate of the rights of the people.
