If within the past four years, the Journal has had
a far trrcater circulation than the State Sentinel,"
it only makes ita imbecility the more manifest, er
demonstrates, that tho greater the circulation of the
Journal, the more it has weakened the cause it e-
pou4c. In all that time ita party has been loaing
nrnnn.t and tlif whirr ortraii haa only rea neJ an en-
f. - 5 - larged crop of curse- from ita own partizana.
It ia possible that th Journal may at present, counting all its edition, have a larger issue than the Sentinel. But the most of its subscribers have been
obtained by a forcing ytem, anything but creditable.
Every person can get the Journal who will pay, or
promise to pay a dollar a year; and we hive no l,,iir,t tl.nt we have rcfWed. at that rate within the
past four months, as many a) would equal the entire
list of the Journal. They thought we ought to ee!I our "good 'PS" i" cheap aa the Journal aold ita
'bad' ones; and the consequence hag been a temporary curtailment of our list to smaller dimenaiona
than ever before. If this ia worthy of bragging oer by our dignified neighbor, we have no objection. We
think he will be able to realize his folly when he I
comes to count up the profit and loss.
We know too, that the worthleasnesa and weakness of the Journal, being such aa it is, hat had the effect of making ihe Sentinel comparatively spiritless, and
less sought fr than might otherwise have been the case. Cat we should as sxn think of fisticuffing
with a blind man or a crippled woman, as of assail
ing an able-bodied neighbor whose mental imbecility
ia entitled to commiseration rather than aaault and 1
rebuke.
We regret now that the uncourteousnesa of the Journal, at a period when it could have afforded to treat u decently, ahould make it necessary for ua to
peak as we do. We should very much have prefer
red tu have parted with it in peace. Indianapolis ISail Road Matters.
We notice that the iron ia being put upon the Union
track, through the southern and eastern parts of the city, making a first rate heavy edge rail ballaa ed road. The Terre Haute Company ia also completing their road with the heavy rail as far west as White river, to enable them to carry out the rock for the bridge
they are about constructing there. Tb JJellefontaine company are putting down their heavy T rail on their road eat, and we learn that the Teru company expect auon to commence laying the iron on their road norih. Our people now have a satisfactory earnest of w hat these companies intend to do, and are doing. These public worka when completed muat increase largely the business of our city, as well as enhance greatly the value of Ihe real estate of the whole country coming within their influence. Our city must soon become, if it ia not already, one of the most deaireable locations far ihe business man, and the me-
ehacic in the Went. In view of these facts should
nut our properly holden do more than they have done,
to aid tl.c.e companies in the construction of works

She had uot reduced the whole to prifect and quiet possession, but was engaged in measorrt for that puipotr, w hen she was leceived int Ihe Union with these decl.icd boundaries.

Whpn, before the War, did "tho United States pretend that Texas had any right to any part of New Mexico, or that Mexico had not just title to New Mexico!

At the breaking out f the war, Mex- . ico was in possession of New Mexico and had been f r a couple of centuries. The United States did not question her right to that province, on the contrary, Mr. PoJk, as the Executive officer of the United States, expressly declared the right to New Mexico to be in Mexico and not in Texns.

Thus it will be perceived, that the moment the road is planked to Niles, New York city will be within 64 hours travel of Indianapolis on a route, too, where the connection of the different lines is more complete than on any other route in the United States and allowing only eight miles travel to the hour over the plank road, when ten. miles can be easily accomplished, which will give ample time for all delays or stoppages on the road. It is not Ihe intention to set op this great Northern plank road as a rival work to tho Bellefortaine road ;

The citizens of Fort Wayne are doing up their plank roads about right. The following article, from the Fort Wayne Times, speaks much for their public spirit and enterprise. Last April the Fort Wayne aud Lima Plank Road Company have about forty rods of plank laid down, and at the setting in of last winter, twenty-seven miles of tho rood were completed. Before next winter this road will be extended to fifty miles; in the Mean time the road to Llutfion, (23 miles) will be completed, considerable progress made on the Decatur road, a strong beginning on the Plymouth road, and something done on the Gothen road.

State Sentinel This paper of the lltli instant, announces that the establishment baa been sold to William J. Brown, present member of Congress from the 5th district, and that possession will be given about the 6th of June next. There can be no chance
made in the Sentinel, that will bring greater strength
to tho parly, of which it ii the principal organ in the State, and though we dislike to miss the lucubrations of the Messrs. Chapman, we think the whig party
will not be particularly worsted by this sale and
transfer, for the Sentinel editors have certainly man
aged their own political affiirs to the very best advantage. We' presume the vendors will feel like
lieh out of water, when they relinquish their usual ,
avocation, which they have ?o promptly attended to for so long a time, and with decided tact and ability.

information we derived from tue actual observations
and experiments made by our informants on tho
ground. Their explorations were confined chiefly to the North Fork of Bean Blossom, and to the Lick
Creek and ita branches in the north part of ihe county, and it was reported that on BVar Creek, ten or twelve miles beyond, some pieces had been found aa large as a grain of Corn. As a nntter of course, there are numerous contradictory rpporls In circulation as to the amount of gold obtained, and richne. of the mines at various pointe; and the facts have, ni a great measure still to be guessed at. One man stated that lie had in the course of an hour, on Tuesday lat. with a machine, washed out two or three spoonsful of gold from a sand bar in Bean Blossom. Walker from Cincinraii, who is driving a pretty brisk business selling machines for washing out the gold, says at certain places, a machi-.ie will turn out fifteen er sixteen dollars a day. Statements of others are quite different. There is no longer any doubt that gold exi ts in a considerble extent of country in Brown, and some of the adjoining counties; but whether iu Fufficient abundance to become an object of general intereat, or pay well for working remains to be tested. Quite a number of persons we are told, have come in from a distance.' to make observations and look out for chances;" but there ia not much doing yet in a practical way. Franklin Examiner.
'" Death or a Distinguished Citizen. The Hon. William Hendricks died suddenly at li s farm, in the vicinity of this city, about eleven o'clock on Thursday night, the 16ih inst. He had been in feeble health during the greater part of the winter and spring, but had so far recovered 01 to be able recently to go about and transact his ordinary business. On the afternoon of Thursday he attended the session of the city council, and proceeded, as we are informed, from the council chamber to his farm, where he died, at the time already staled, from an affection of the heart'. Gov.
Hendricks was one among the few remaining old settlers of Madison, having como here, we believe, in 1814. During his eventful life he filled man high and important offices. He was secretary of the convention which formed the present constitution of Indiana, the first and sola representative of the State in Congress for six years, and Govcrner of the Siale from 1822 to 1825, when he was elected a Senator ot the United States, aud re-elected to the Mine office in 1S31. He wa, as he inf.rim-d us a few days since, sixty-seven years of age. H was a rnau of tdrong mind and ptrong feelings, enduring iu his attachments, and had long been a professor of the Christian religion. He occupied a prominent station as a cit zen of Madison, and was reckoned among the great men of the State and of the Webt. His mourning family circle is large and of the highest ruspeetabiluy. His remains were yesterday afternoon temporarily deposited in the vault i f Springdale cemelery in the presence of a very largo number of our citizens. Miditon Banner, 1. '
