On Sunday niph' last, the new fancy goods store in Griffith's Block, lately ; opened by Madamo Gilmgan, was burglariously en-J tered, and plundered of a large amount of g-mU lo . the amount, probably of $900 to $I.OUU. 1 he lluevea gained admission by boring and forcing the window shutter on the alley. Judging from the discrimination with b ich they selected all tho finest goods, they must be adepts in tho business, and l.ave proceeded with great deliberation in making their choice, having I completely ransacked the store, and taking none but high priced fine articles. Among the good taken were velvets, silks, hosiery, &c. &.c. A bitt stock and two bitts were left on the premises, which were recognized as having been taken from a carpenter's shop in the neighborhood. The thiev3 were favored by a severe storm of rain, thunder snd lightening. Our citizens, one and all should be on the alert; and a night patrol seems highly necessary, as some notorious characters, well known, are now about. C-The Wabash &. Erie canal is at length finished to Terre Haute. The boats arrived on Thursday last, from Toledo, with gentlemen on board, of the intermediate towns. The good people of Terre Haute rejoiced exceedingly, fired big guns, and gave a glorious dinner to the company on board the boats. Terre Hiute, the most beautifully situated town in this State, end perhaps in the whole West, will now go ahead rapidly. Her generous inhabitants, (barring their inveterate whiggery, of the tender inercica of which we bad some experience in time past,) will show themselves deserving of their additional good fortune. The Congressional Globe. We are indebted to John C. Rives, Esq. for a handsome bound volume of this work, containing the debates and proceedings of both Houses of Congress during the last session. It makes a quarto, including the Appendix, of 1055 pages; and being furnished with a copious Index, it is a work of much value to Statesmen, Editors, nod others who may have occasion to refer to, or review matters concerned in Congressional proceedings. See the prospectus of the Globe, in another column. Not Much of a Shower after all. Some of the Cincinnati papers are most eloquent in favor of the "Whitney, or Northern route to the Picific, for the great Railway, and speak of the late St. Louis Convention as a perfect failure. This reminds us of the story of a fellow in the time of the flood who was standing on the peak of a mountain, up to his eyes in water, as Noah's Ark passed by, and after trying by all sorts of arguments to induce Noah to change I lie course of the Ark, and being informed by Noah that the Ark could not be turned out of its course for his accommodation, bawled out at the top of his voice, ' go ahead with yoar old Ark, I don't believe there is going to be much of a shower after all !" Do our Cincinnati friend take ? OCrThe general derangement of the mails, is a subject of universal complaint. Jenks, of the Lafayette Courier, gives the establishment the following characteristic hit : U. S. (Uncommon Siow) Mail The Eastern Mail due yesterday morning at 5 o'clock, arrived be tween three and four in the afternoon. There is cer tainly a very large screw loose somewhere in Uncle Sam's mail machinery, and if the old gentleman don't wan't an ox-team opposition started, he had better lock to it soon. The Lafayette Journal (whig,) says : In private enterprises such signal incompetence would receive its merited reward, but in the Post of. fice Department, the favorites of the dominant party must be kindly dealt with. .'.We are sorry to record the fact that the difficulties - complained of under the former administration, have not been removed. In Lafayette we bave ceased to look for the mail, until eight or ten hours after it is due. We know not who is to blame. But the annoyance is very great, and the fraud upon the public cannot be borne with. We advise those who are interested directly, to apply the remedy. Q-The Winchester Patriot of the 4th, specifics the State offices which "become vacant during the next session," and immediately goes on with singular inconsistency, to say Rut the Democrats have the ascendancy in the Legislature, and these men, however honest and faithful, roust be removed to make place for Demo- . t m These offices "become vacant" by late, and it is the law alone that makes the removal, if removal it can properly be called. If the law is wrong, let the Patriot say so, and seek its amendment. lie hould not blame democrats for obeying its requisitions. Rut it the law wrong in limiting the tenure of State of fices!

Success to it!

Plniik Ho:tI. Tenmilesof a plank road, between JefTtfrsonville and Cliartcstown have been put under coutract, and it ia expected will be ready for travel by the first of March. A road is proposed between New Albany and Corydon, and another between Mount Vernon and New Harmony. &ih of these will be valuable improvements. These all run from the Ohio river. At the North, tho plank road from Michigan city to Lnportc, is finished within of a mile uf the latter place. A branch, from Orr's toClcsser's Corners will be completed in a few weeks. The Fort Wayne Sentinel says: The Fort Wayne Lima Tlank Rond is rapidly approaching completion. Twenty miles are finished, extending from within about two mi lea of this place to Mitchell's in Noble County with the exception of 2 miles between Huntertown and Timnierinan's, and 2 miles more beyund Timmerman's. The whol will be finished this fall, if the weather continue favorable; and in any event it will all be done except two miles beyond Huntertown, and the road there is naturally pogood that if not planked this fall but little inconvenience will be experienced. The road fully answers the anticipations of the most snnguine, and has convinced the mo?t skeptical of the great superiority of this kind of rond ovr all othi-rs. It is acknowledged to be emphatically the farmer's

road, and will be a greater accommodation to tlmsa H . a ,he rol)te nJ enittnce ,,,e value of ,heir property more, than a railroad would. Farms 10 or 15 miles from Fort Wayne will now really be worth more and for all practical purposes be nearer market, than those 3 or 4 miles distant formerly were. A peron living 20 r 25 miles from here can come to town. Bell his wheat and returu home the same evening, instead of taking two days as formerly; besides hauling double the quantity at a load that he could without the road: thus reducing the expense of transportation three-fourths to say nothing of the saving in wear and tear of wagons and horseflesh, traveling expenses, ic. The citizens of Rossville recently held a meeting in favor of a plunk road from Lafayette to the Michigan road, via Rossville. They appointed a committer to aid in procuring a charter from the next Legislature, which is unnecessary, as there is a general law on the subject. (-Speculating upon the difficulty between Russia and Turkey, the Pa. Ledger thinks, if war should grow out of it, that the other powers of Europe would be obliged to participate in the general melee, and observes, Hence the coalition will present liberal Europe and Turkey on one side, and Cossack Europe and Asia on the other. In this struggle aie the hopes of liberal Europe; and the probability, almost certainty uf such n qunrrel, as the rrsult of this Russian invasion of Turkey, makes the news too good to be true, and therefore leads us to doubt it. "Such a war would bring a new clement into the politics of Europe, in aid of liberal institutions. Mahnmmedinisni, which is now progressive, and has always been highly favorable to social moials. as appears in the superior hone6ty, sobriety, charity and piety of all iHahotninedm communities, would aid toleration ngaint the corpiption of the Roman and the rapacity of the Greed churches. Mahommedanism, which recognizes the Old and New Testaments with the Koran, is like Judaism, strictly mmiothetic. eminently democratic in tendency, and therefore the hiirh road to liberal christianil v. This itiav startl the partisans of Church and Slate; but it is true." . . - . J . The probability now is that we shall have no euch war: Russia, no doubt, will take the back track. O-The editor of the Madison Banner recently, took a ride about that town, to ascertain how many houses had been built during the present year. of brick and stone buildings are included eleven pub lic edifices, such as churches, hotels, jsil, engine, bouses, &c. In the list of frame buildings is also included a church on Fourth street for Ihe use of a congregation of colored people of the Baptist denomination. It is proper to remark that by substantial buildings we mean dwelling-houses, stores, and manufacturing-houses or shops of the larger class, and that out-buildings, such as small stables, smonehouses, &.c, were not counted.

A Whig editor in Indiana says " there is a sagacious paragraph in a late number of Chapman's paper." If Chapman has said a sagacious thing, it ought to be recorded in ihe next edition of the work entitled " Anecdotes of Sagacious Dogs." Louisville Journal. C7"The in'f of the Louisville Journal is about on a par with its honesty. The pretended quotations above, which are used as a basis for the doggish blackguardim, are both of them forged for the purpose. Both appear in the tame number of the Journal, showing the very prolific character of Ihe blackguard's imcgination. M Decency " whigs may think such wretched billingsgato worth " twenty thousand dollars a year ;" but they could hire a common negro blackguard a great deal cheaper. However : De gustibut, &.C. Donkee HoTEE ! (Don Qnixitle.) Our old and venerable friend, John Ewing of Nket, lately appointed a Land Receiver by Taylor's Regency Banditti, has undertaken, for Ihe hundredth time, to demolish a newspaper! Not having succeeded heretofore under his allopath attacks, he now administers his doses on the '"Indian" system. May-be he will succeed ! Go it little one, and once more "clap your hands! Sentenced. The Fort Wayne Sentinel of the 27tb states that James Dedaro or Doddard, who recently killed Cornelius Murphy, an account of which was published iu our last, has been tried, found guilty of manslaughter, and sentenced to tbe Penitentiary 21 years. He is represented to be a most desperate wretch. Another Difficulty-. A letter received by a houe In New York, from Lisbon, states that the American charge had received orders from Washington, to demand a positive answer from the Portuguese Government, before the 1st of November, whether they would settle the claims for wrongful seizures of American vessels or not. Oy-Ex-President Tyler has lately written a letter upon the Proviso, to Judge Huntington of Indiana, in . which he holds that the measure as applied to California is a mere abstract, and that free soil is now just as secure in New Mexico as it is in Minnesota. C7"TIjo Danville Advertiser assails J. Waton Webb, as a "corrupt and unprincipled editor." This is like striking one's father, for Webb was actually the god-fatrier of the whig party, and stood sponsor fr it, when he gave it its new alias after it disgraced that of "National Republicans. C3A brick building, in Shelbyvillr, owned by Royal Mayhew of this city, and occupied by Samuel Livingston as a clothing store, and by the Masonic and Odd Fellows' lodge, was destroyed by fire on Friday morning last. The building and contents were totally detroytd. No insure ucc. Among other things, the OdJ Fellows lost $50 in paper money. fjrSeveral incendiary attempts have recently been made at Madison, says the Courier. The rascals may., come up here ; look out for them !

Preach lug vs. I'mcticc. In his inaugural oddreea, Taylor Faid, or was made to say by those who fixed it for him, sha'l mals honesty, capacity anil fidelity . indi.pensab'e prerequisites to the bexlmrnl 0 ojjic ; and absence of these qualities thiU he dremed sufficient cause for rtmovat." It is said that the removal which have already been mide, ainunttogome se ten thousand. Of course, under Trtylor's dttlared rule, hnnet'y carried out, all tlifse woo'd be denied dilionet, incapable and unfaithful. Biit the world knows now, that it is Taylor and his managers wh ar! dishonest, and that ihey have to heiter their heads under the miserable plea

.f Vqnnli7.in the ofIi-es." This 'equalizat on" nn-ans every wnnre. to do what it has done in t'iis Sinie, where every rfjlce but one, of either honor or profit, has been given to whig?, to make room for whom, doiiVKrrata have been removeJ, against not one if whom a charge of delinquency can be sustained. Put we d. not now quote Taylor's declaration, for t!r purpose of showing how generally it has been disaffirmed bv litn and his abettors. Such a charge is ss easily denied as made, however true it may be. But it was called forcibly to our mind, by two particular case?, brought to n in exchange papers by the same mail, papers blli friendly to Tay lor, and which would not probably say any thing ill of him voluntarily. These two extracts are indicative of the whole course of the administration, in its removals and appointments. But suppose they were only isolated cases, we ask every fair-minded whig to say nonothing to democrats, if they are not inexcusable, if they are not disgraceful to the administration? Under any rule, the best, bad men may be appointed through misapprehension; but when even the friends of an administration enter their complaints, it should seem that a remedy ought to be applied promptly. When, however, as at present, bad men hold the reins of power, we must not be astonished that they will alike disregard the condemnation of both political friends and foes. "Mr. Sanier, of Ohio." So the Enquirer describes the Chnrce d' A flairs of the United States in Ccntial America. This gentleman was not "01 UI11, when he was appointed, nor had ha been "of Ohio Tor a considerable tuna previous. 1 he ap pointment wasconlerred upon "Mr. Squier.of New York;1 and no Ohio man will claim him as of Ohio, except it mav be our neighbor. We know that Mr. Squier once rrüided in Chillicoihe, and was regarded as a Whig, but lot betrayail In friend and sold himself at a small but full price to the locofocos in the Uiuo legislature and aoon afterwards It'll the State. Ha is a good draughtsman, and while in Chillicoihe, was employed by Dr. I)is, to aid in draughting some of the ancient mounds in Umo, which the Doctor bad rpent years 111 tracing and describing. W ith these lie went to Nnw Vor! and prevailed upon the lain Albert Gallatin and Professor Henry to have the book of Ohio Antiquities pub lished at Ihn expense of Ilia Smithsonian Institute, for which Mr. Squier took the credit, scarcely acknowledinr Dr. Dnvia'a aervices. To this book and the influence of Meanrs. Gnllatin and Henry, he owes his mission abroad, that he might be ah'.e there to prosecute Ins antiquarian researches. Cm. u a zelte, It hi ff. 'I he Work of Proscription t'iue of Captain llrowiiell. The Cabinet, it would appear, have not yet "equalized" the offices of the country. Prying about in the holes and corners and amund the edges, they siill find, now and then, a customer for execution. A Washington correspondent has furnished the case of Cpt. Brownell,as one of the latest. This was a hard case, called for by no ' public necessity, and without justification. Cant Brow nell is a man wlisse services and patrioiic conduct de- . 1 r . 1 1 . 1 ir l If serve even the respect of the butcher. j nuer v mi duren, Harrison and Tyler, he was ttTered his progressive rank as a post captain, with back pay fr twenty years, , which would have amounted to $22,000, lieh he de- , dined, asking only to be allowed the rank of a LieuJ tenant, to which he was promoted in 1815. In 1842, I when the Senate, in consideration of his services in the I batltle of Lake Erie, in 1813, proposed to give him a pen1 sion from that dato, he declined it, because, during a part r lishment of the first line of our ocean steamers, he was appointed to the post of inspector of the nhips, from which lie is now removed. The conduct ol this officer, in refusing to take the slightest advantage of the Government, or a dollar of the public money, to which he was not entitled, though repeatedly offered to him, should, at least, have been respected. It may be said that Commodore Perry being equal to the wlmla cuty of inspecting ilia steam, hips, t' e office held by Oruwnell was a sinecure, and tliut his removal was but an act of economy. It won't do. The Cabinet were operated upon by other motives; and, ten to one, the malice of some dippoiuled partisan, in a scheme for swindling the 1 reasury, lies at the bottom of the transaction. Had Capt. Brownell been a toady for the Cabinet he might have been spared. A single case, or even a dozen cases of bad appointments might bo excused, from the difficulty with the cabinet of knowing anything of the real character of the applicants; but a regular system- ' atic distribution to the mere hacks of party, of the best offices, and the expulsion of some ol the best u.en of the . country, to make room fur these Cabinet scullions, canI not be tolerated. This huckstering accounts for the mu- ; liny among, the honest portion o? Ihe Whigs of New York and Philadelphia. This is the policy which, in ' part, is shaving down the Whig party to ihe numerical ' strength of the office-holders and their family connexions, i This is the system which is converting the Government I into a great almshouse, at which the beggars of the domi1 nant parly ara fed at the public expense. Between Ew- ' ing's pDlicy at home and Clayton's foreign policy, there I is scarcely a tons-up for the choice; it is six for one and I half a dozen for tho other. In the home policy, the pledges and the wishes of General Taylor have been ' violated, and 111 our foreign policy, the Government has ! been degraded. The Cabinet have been f.iUe in the one ! and faithless in the other. Reform is demanded in both; let ua have reform, or let us have a change. W e are in fr one or the oiher. jV. Y. iIerald,Taylorict. Ahrestof Supposed Mail Robbers Two men nared John D. Jones and Jacob Harper, were arrested 1.1 Saturday last, by M irshal Felpsand Lieutenants Michau and Couzins, upon suspicion of being two of ihe parlies engaged in robbing the mail near Indianapolts, some time in February last. These men answer the description given by the officers at Indianapolis, and from papers and letters found in their possession, leaves little doubt but that they are the guilty parties. Harper was arrested on the Illinois side of the river, and Jones near the upper ferry in the act of crossing. They were lodged in jail on Saturday, but the officers receiving an intimation that the habeas corpus would be brought to bear upon their cases, and not being in possession of sufficient proof to detain them against that formidable act, so freely applied, yesterday morning crossed them to the Illinois shore, where they were detained until evening, and then removed, with a view of beinz surrendered to the authorities of Indianapolis. St. Louis Repullizan, Oct. 23d. 0-Tiie accused persons arrived in this city some days since, but by request of tho TJ. S. District Attorney we did not mention the fact, as there is another of the supposed gang at large, whom it was desirable not to alarm. Thee men are accused by one heretofore arrested and who has "turned State's evidence." Evassville Journal. Wm. II. Chandler & Co. have retired from the Evansville Journal, and will be succeeded by . II. Sanders, recently of the " Cairo Delia." The great fault of the Journal has always been its apparent intolerance of feeling; but this may have resulted from the honest convictions, as well as the peculiar temperament of Mr. Chandler. He is a good man in the main, and we wish him prosperity in his retirement. His successor has already earned a good reputation as an editor, and will successfully conduct the Journal, we have no doubt. 0Briwn, the fugitive slave, is lionizing in England.' In 1 recent speech at London, be thus spoke of a matter which has been the subject of discussion in some of our papers: He had been refused a passport to come to Europe, which Ihu American Secretary told him was never granted except to the servants of diplomatic ogoiiU, while at the same time a regular passport was granted to the boot-black of a slaveholding Judge who was oing out as Consul to Naples." OTlie Louisville Journal swears that it has not been sold out by the ShcrifT. This mty be true, though it was adcertised fr sale. We supposo that no decent white man would bit for so dirty a concern.

Correspondence of the JjurnaJ of Commerce. Wasiuncton, Oct. 11th. The addres of Mr. Souier, our Cbnrge, to the authorities of the State of Niearatr..a. fully confirms the semi-official Statements lately made, to the effect that our government had aken its s-snd itoi the Monroe declaration. ai1 d-iermim-d not to permit Great liritain to obtain or retain any foothold in that portion

of tho Conti'iei.t. Puhlic siwpii"ii pointed t the! fart some w-k ago. and the nrprH.eu-i.ms expressed that the p.'Vern:n nt had committed thin act of folly and rashness, were sough' ! be allayed by an eva sive uVntal. But the fhcinl denials were instantly f dlowed by S'-mi-ofncial confirmation t.f the fact. The policy of tin government isnolongT in doubt. It was semi-orficially statrd. the other car, that in structions of this character wer" riven to Mr. Sq'iier, ami to .Mr. Btner.ft, the confirmation as ;o the for mer minister, i now b-f-re us. in I is odjre-s, which was, of rourse. based on his instruction. It is now belieed here that similar instructions, and of a most pointed character, were sent Mit by Mr. Davis, Secretary of the Legation to tng'and, who sailed in advance of Mr. Lswrer.er. and that their substance was communicated, in the f.irm of a protest against Mr. Barclay's prote-t. to the British government. The answer of the lint ivh goveriin-nl repelled, with decision, any interference on the pnit of the United States. This is the "aharp curre) ndenee," alluded lo some time ago, nnd, by rumor, misplaced as to person. Judging from Mr. Chatfield's protest, and demand and threats, agauist the Nicaragut g'-vermnen', 1 would suppose that the matter i soon t come to a crisis. Jt is distinctly asserted, ov inai functionary. that no foreign company will be allowed to enjoy the benefits of any contract with Nicaragua, f.r a canal through that State, until certain debts to British sub jects be provided for; and this pretpnsinn is qtiite in dependent ot that by winch the territory in question i claimed as part of the domain of the Mnquito king which claims Her Majesty has, as the Consul says, decided to maintain, and the invasion of which she will severely chastise. As I said, the other day, we have got on this ques tion to the backing-out point the point at which one party or the other must back out unless they both intend to fight it out. A more inappropriate time could not have been se lected for stirring up this new muss. I think from various remarks that fell from the press in the confi dence of Mr. Clayton, as long ago as June last, that he was put vp to this stand, injudicious as it is. by those who, having interests to promote, were blind lo. r careless or, other consequences. If the sensi bilitics of ihe American people can be sufficiently ex cited to secure their support for this movement, they will have war war to their heart s content. From the Jrffertonian. Ma. Eldco: -Ai Ibe name of the candidates for diQVient offices to be filled by the Legilatuie this winter, are bem riven to Ihe public through the medium ol ihe' nrnrtpsperi 1 rrqaest that you will, through the Jrff-n nian, place the Iiarae of the Hon. Isaac F. Wood, of Randolph county, be fore tbe public, a a candidate for the office of Trrasnier of Slate Mr. Wood has served one term in th Slate Senate snd last year he was a membrr of the Hur. Though very diffident of hit own abilitiei. and motet and utnumiti)C 10. his pretentions and deportment, (which aie intrks of true merit) ret. as lo the qualifications necemary and proper tu make a good Treasurer of State, he is not fxrellsd by eilhc of the very worthy sentlrmen who aie already announced for that office. II has not been all his lifa either holding or seeking office, and is. therefore, in veiy moderate ciicum stances and has a family of tnutherles childi n to piot iJe for and support. Theie would, therefoie. be a much propri ety sod god senve iu electing him Tieasurer of State this winter, as any man in the State. Will the State Sentinel and other democratic p-rerof th Stale ptese copy this A Citizen or Rahdolpk Couxtt, The Jeffersonian editorially observes: That Mr. W. is hone8t and capable," no one who knows himi would doubt. He would make an excellent officer. It is a gratifying fict to the democracy, that all the gentlemen who have been mentioned as candidates for the offices to be filled are of the right stripe. Different localities will, of course, Lave their preference?, but let who will be the lucky ones, the State cannot fail to have good officers, when the selections will have to be made from Buch material as has, thus far, been presented. Editorial Convention. We notice in several of our exchanges, that, there is a desire of many of our brethren of the press, to hold a convention during the coming winter for the purpose of fixing a uniform rate of prices and to take some other matters of importance to the craft into consideration. We are tn for eurh a movement and have no doubt much good miarht be done for the welfare of the Press. Where is Chapman, and what do you say ? Who is to name the day! We would suggest Tuesday, December 25th (Christmas day) as the most suitable day, and Indianapolis the place. All in favor of the movement will say : . Columbut Democrat. 0We should be very happy to meet onr brethren of the press, as above suggested, with or without regard lo any specific action upon any particular sub ject. Personal acquaintance and association with one another, could do no harm, and would no doubt be useful snd pleasant, in various ways. To such propositions we shall therefore always willingly drop the "we" and unanimously say "I," promising, by the way, that we will do all in our power to make our brethren happy while here. Equalling the Offices. Is it not surprising, that so sensible a paper as the Indiana State Sentinel, should ascribe the removals of ladies from several offices by Gen. Taylor's administration to a spirit of proscription. Don't you know, Mr. Chapman, that it is done to equalize the offices between males and females. 07-We find the above in the St. Louis Union. It is certainly a very "good lick " We had not thought about the equalizing process, in this connexion. The whigs are certainly entitled to the full benefit of it. We beg pardon for our forgetfulness ! Profession t. Practice. It has been already stated that Mr. Tolk selected the furniture of the White House, as far as was practicable, of American manufacture; but Ihe present occupant of the While House, it seems, will spread upon the floor of the East Room, a magnificent carpet of foreign manufacture. So says the Philadelphia Times, in the following paragraph : A splendid Brussels carpet was last Saturday shipped at New York for Wanhington. It is for the President. It contained 500 yards, and cost $3 per yard, .and is to go on the Reception Room of the White House. The material having been purchased, was sent to the Apollo Rooms to be matched and joined. The pattern was as fine as the material was rich. Fifteen hundred dollars for a carpet ! Don't give vr. It is reported I hat Fanny Kemble Butler's husband is shortly to lead to the altar a daughter of ex-senator Bayard of Delaware, and that Fanny Kemble herself is soon to be married to Theodore Sedgwick. , If Fanny marries Sedgwick, she will have a husband who will be able to appreciate her intellectual qualities. Three hundred Portuguese Protestant refugees left New York recently, for the purpose of settling in Illinois. ' Two hundred still remain, awaiting intelligence from their agent. Resietino European Acquisitions. The Washington correspondent of the New York Tribune write: It is stated on good authority that Mr. Squier, our Charge at Central Armrica, had no official authority for Ins decisive language to the Director on the subject of resisting European acquisitions on this hemisphere; but acted on language used by Mr. Clayton in a casual, unofficial interview." So it 6cems, that plain John Clayton is a very different man from Mr. Secretary Clayton ! No one however will doubt his folly and weakness. 07"Miss Fredericka Bremer is, at present, sojourning at the residence of A' r. Downing, in Newburgh, (N. Y.) A Newburgh paper says: "She is plainlooking, short iu stature, with fair complexion, light hair and blue eyes. There is a great deal of goodness in her countenance ; but not much passion."

Another Job Tor Secretary Clayton. There is a rumor at Washington,, that Russia has determined lo close the Black Sea to the commerce of the United States, and of all other nations. The Albany Argus 'thinks that Secretary Clayton should take this matter up, and that then 1 e will have on his hands a quarrel with Fraiire, Mosquito, England, Russia, Mexico, - Cuba, and " Nicaragua, Cmadi, bosidos the job of frowning down" the Free Soil-

er atjJ lie can back out of all at once ! Ohio Statesman. Hungary. The condition of things in Hungary is lamentable. The currency has almost wholly disappeared. Men who were rich find themselves without the means of supporting their families. Debts are not paid. The sons of many of the nobility have been forced to enlist as private soldiers in the Austrian army. The aged and venerable Bishop of Neuohl has bei-n deprived of his office, and sentenced to five years solitary confinement. Women are punished for having aided their husband?; and daughters for having enveised with their fathers who are rebels. In Transylvania the Saxons and Roman, hereditary enemies of the. Magyars, have hunted them down like wild benst -l ooting tliem at f-iffht. Enormities of this kind were so frt quent, that the Austrian Authority has been forced to declare the state of seige in one part of Hungary. Iladetzky, the .Austrian general, hns become disgusted with their barbarity, though he had considerable experience in the same thing in Italy. Ilaynau appears anxious to kep the infamous reputation he has acquired. Pa. Ledger. By a vote of the wop!e of Oregon it was lately shown that there were not whigs enough in the territory to make mile-posts; and yet, Taylor has jut temoved the democratic Governor and appointed a whig. What would the vote of the people there be between the gallant Jo. Lane and one Gaines, the delea ed for ronsirefs in his own distric , in the whig Slate of Kentucky ! ! Taylor and h s cabinet must have a most profound respect for the wishes of Ihe people to be governed. There is some difference in the past history of the two men. Lane and Gaines; the one used to catch the enemy, the other was caught by him. Louisville Democrat. Major John P. Gaines, a defeated whig candidate fr Congress in Kentucky, has been appointed Gov cruor of Oregon. It is understood that he has accept ed the appointment. J his Major (xaines was out m the Mexican war. and greatly distinguished himself by a surrender of his men at Eucarnacion. the n;ost of whom were retained, with their Major, prisoners unilinear the close of the war. He succeeds Brig. Gen. Lane, who was in the glorious battles of the a me war, and whose deeds of valor and heroism have been the themes of universal praise. Comment is unuecesvary. Missouri Metropolitan. 07The Washington correspondent of the Pa. Ledger says The affair of Nicaragua, I consider a mere straw. even if England were to perw-d in maintaining the pretentions if the JMosquiio ivin. Our policy would probably consist in protesting against this high-hand-id British proceeding; and to wait for a suitable opportunity which a year or two will certainly bring forth in Europe to press our claim to advantage. If any nation in the world can afford to wait for the linuiuntior, ot ou!6tanuiur uebis it is ours: evirv vear inerenses onr strength, and renders our antatm - nists more tractable : why then this hurry of donig ,. , .f , 3 every thing at once! The Ali xican war was ten tears in being hatched ; and ten years in the United iSiate8 are equal to a century in Europe. " .0 tt ' o . 1 The Rousd Islanders. The United States schooner Fliit sailed from east Pascagouhi yesterday (17th) bound for Pensacoln, and the Albany was to leate immediately for the same Dort. The Water Witch. It1 is stated, will probably remain at her station utittl all the Round Islanders. will have dispersed. On Sunday there were about 120 men still on the Island, but the number is daily diminishing. X.
