INDIANA STATE SENTINEL.

WILLIAM J. BROWN, Editor. INDIANAPOLIS: SATURDAY EVEN I.W, AUGUST 2, ISM. Xj'l'or Election Neu see next pnse. Look Gat for Fresh Counterfeits. A spurious five dollar bill of the Thames Bank, Norwich, Connecticut, of which tho vignette is a female rei lining and pointing to a rainbow over a ship, has beca put in circulation recently. No such bill has been issued by that Bank. The counterfeit ten dollar bill of tho State Bank of Oaio, having the X in tho vignette, can be readily detected by the knee of the man not touching the first inner black waving lines in the circle including the X, as it docs in the genuine. RÜ" The State Sentinel is endeavoring, covertly, to defeat Judge Burden. I.y attempting to drive the Freesoilcrs from him. Jeffersonian. The veiy reverse. We have been trying to save luv election, by showing that he is no Abolitionist. When we see Judge Borden's vote rccoided for the repeal of the Fugitive Slave law. and for the abolition of Slavery in the District of Columbia, then, and not till then, will vre behevc the assertion of Elder, that he occupies the Julian platform. Judge Borden will be elected, and we shall put him down in our Democratic column, without any " F. S." to his name. The Hirnets Stirred Up. Hornets Nest," is the title of a South Carolina The ion paper, to le puuilslicu iiunn mo auiuuici campaign. At Its name indicates, it is full of poison und death to all that come within its reach. Just read the fallowing, if you wish to know something of the spirit that prevails in that unfortunate and deluded Commonwealth: Shall S uth Carolina now recede? Never ! ! ! The memory of her illustrious fathers forbids it. The cause of truth, of honor, of freedom, and of right, forbids it. The high resolves of her Spartan children, and the eueooragement of her Spartau mothers, forbid it. The expectations, the hopes, the aspiralious of every friend of the Union, of the Constitution and Liberty, forbid it. Can South Carolina succeed? Oh, God! if she cannot, then hast Thou withdiawn Thine omnipotent arm from the help of the weak just against the mighty unjust ; and Thou hast repented Thee of Thy promises to those who trust the fate and success of their righteous cause to Thine all-powerful and allwise direction. But she can succeed. For the God of battles is on her side; the ovations of confiding, trusting hearts, ascend to Hoaven in her behalf; and ülsUJlfcri will direct the sword, encom -age the heart, and strengthen the urm of hiiu who strikes in hor defence. Will she secede ? If aha do not, then let us forget King's Mountain and Eutaw, Monk's Corner and Fort Moultrie, and fling a pall of oblivion over the memory uf Jasper, of Sumter, of Marion, of Butier, and of Calhoun; lor then, indeed, will liberty lie blotted from the page of history, and a darkness more Cymerian tlnn that which hung over the middle ages, settle upon the Ueaits and hopes f men. T7 A great Railroad Convention is to be held at Shelhyville, on Wednesday next. The object of the meeting, we understand, is to further the project of the. contemplated Railroad from Lawreneeburgh to this place. Evausvillc Hospital. Hon. Charles Deming, L. M. Huntington, R. W. Thompson and Caleb B. Smith, have been appointed Commissioners to select the site for the United States Hospital, for disabled and sick b 'atmen, at Evans; ille, Indiana. D A writer in the Washington City Telegraph recommends Judge Douglas for President, and Hon. James M'Dowcll, of Virginia, for Vice President. Wheat Crop in Wisconsin. The wheat crop in this great wheat growing State is by no means flattering. The Milwaukee Advertiser learns that in many parts ofthat State, the rust ami insects have literally destroyed the wheat crop. And the roost fearful apprehensions that this disaster had become more general throughout the main agricultural districts were every day realized by the news from the interior of the State. Postal Arrangement with Cuba. We understand that Mr. Hobbi-, on his late tour, effected an understanding with the British Consnl at Havana, bv which the American Consul is constituted a postal agent, and under certain regulation for paying over the postage to the country which may be en;. tie. i to it, letters can now pass to Havana as readily as from one State to another. ij Elder says wo have but one subscriber in Richmond. One righteous man only was found in Sodom, and he let fir safety. Remember Lot's wife, Jcemes. Krom the Utica Observer. A Model Letter. At the Tammany Hall celebration of the Four'h of July, amoncr other letters read was the following from Greene C. Bronson, late Chief Justice, which for point, directness, brevity and sound sentiment, is unsurpassed The worda of wisdom it contains, cannot fail to meet the approval of all who desire the ascendancy of the Democratic party, and the prosperity and harmony of the country. We present this model letter: New York. June 30, 1S51. Gentlemen: As I must of necessity be absent from the city, I cannot accept your invitation to attend the celebration of the approaching anniversary of American Independence. When the several States shall learn to mind their own bnsiness, without meddling with tho affairs of others, and shall be faithful to the Constitution as it is, without rejecting any part of it, the Union will stand too strong for its enemies, without nnd within. . . , , , .,. . . . And when the Democracy shall build again, on its W ! foundations, without constructing new piriforms to catch the tactions of tha day, it will regain it ascendancy in tho Slate and the Nation. Presuming that your Society desires to bring about these important ends, I am, with cordial good wishes, truly yonrs. GREENE C. "BRONSON. IT" Several gentlemen en route for Cuba, among whom, as we learn, was a son of Col. Tibbatts. reached this city yesterday morning, on the Lady Pike. The officer in command nt Newport Barracks, we further learn, despatched to the proper authorities here by telegraph, giving the information as to who had left on this mission, and instructing their arrest. Upon what authority these orders wtre transmitted here, we have not been able to ascertain; but owing to the quick martments of the gentlemen destined for Cuba, or from some other eansC; no arrests were made. It is not to bo concealed that a great many are contemplating volunteering for the Cuban revolution. They will go from all parts of the West, hot not in sufficiently large numbers as to excite suspicion while on their way South. Cin. What it Costs to Start a Newspaper in New York Citt. The Whigs ar? about to start a new paper in New York city, to be called the Times. A fund of $60,000 has ber n raised to carry it on. Messrs. J. St J. Harper contrihufd $10.000; Stetson, of the Astor House, $10,000; Moses H. Grinnell, $10,000; and Simeon Draper, $10.000 The other $20.000 are put in by the M hny Evening Jnurnal (Sewardite) and an Albany Baaker, and $.'),000 more by a New York Broker. It is no slight affair anywhere to start and maintin a daily paper. Ctn. Gazette.

For the Daily Indiana Slate Sentinel. Indianapolis Railroad. Mr. Entoi: The distance; from aLafn yet te to Gin-

einrmii, rte Indianapolis, is 171 miles: from Lafayette to Louisville, ria Indianapolis, is 175 miles. Again, the .stance Crom Lafayette to Louisville, via Grooneaslle, j is 200 miles; from Lafayette to Cincinnati, ria Ander, epntown, is 175 miles. Now, the question is, on thi table of distances, what should be the route's of trade and travel between Lalayette and the Ohio River? It is plain en ugh, ihey should be through Indianapolis. If it is wished to go from La- : ; layette to Cincinnati, til roide eastward, t'uough this city and Lawrenceburg, is tho nearest route, und the preterable one, to that through Anderontown. j If it is wished to pass from Lafayette to Louisville, a roult to New Orleans, through this city and Jedersonville, is the preferable and shortest route. The next proposition closely following is, that these routes through Indianapolis should be constructed to : "SSi' . - i . i. : . ........... .. northern and southern side of her, to Louisville or Cincinnati, and we shall be blessed with somewhat of a solitary town. Now every town must look out Ii r itself. 11 it u not, it will not ne , looked out for, that it certain. The people in the north- ' em and central parts of the State have a right to look out for themselves it is their duty to do it. How, then, are we to secure siieedy and cheap routes 1 fiora Lafayette to Cincinnati and to Louisville, through our town? From Lafayette to this place there is no trouble. Wc have only to make the road. So, from this place via Shelhyville. fo Cincinnati. But how shall wc net to LoiPsville? The rail road from Jeffcrsonville to Coltimbus, on the Madison rail road, will .soon be completed, : and will furnish us the desired outlet, if an arrangement j can be made with the Madison road by which cars will run directly from JcfTcrsonville to this city; otherwise ! not ; for wc cannot afford to tranship at Columbus. Can such an arrangement be made with the Madison compu- ! ny? We fear not, readily. But that company wishes to ' to purchase tho iuterest of tho State in her rail road. Let her do so. on condition she'makes this arrangement with the Jcffersonvillo road. If she refnses this, then ', let the Jetfersonville road make an arrangement with the Lawrciiccborg road by which cars mav !p run direct he. twern this city and Jefferson ville, ria Shelhyville, but a small increase in distance : and let us tako hold and help .u- uu-n :n i ' ,u. .u u- .,.t. the Shelhyville road, on condition that sho makes such arrangement. It would do that road no harm, but good. It would secure to '.his end of it a large business that would not otherwise pass over it ; for that road can only exeet the eastern, and not the southern business, under ordinary circumstances Are not these matters worth looking into, and should they not be talked of at the rail road meeting at Shelhyville next week? to which meeting I de hopp a large dele gation of our citizens will go. FRKE TRADE. Indiana Railroad?. A letter ir, tho Boston Traveller gives the followin brief view of the railroad system of Indiana: I have just returned from a trip through Iiidiana, of j which I have a good dral more to say than 1 shall now have time to communicute. Iudiuna, you arc aware, j has suffered scveiely from heavy taxation to pav their enormous debt for money thrown away on internal im- i provemcuts, and for many years the current of emigralion passed around and beyond her borders. But her 1 darkest day is past. Her debt is arranged and will at length be paid. Her people are full of courage and en- i terprise. Emigration is rapidly flowing in and her wealth is mul'.. plying. Just now the railroad fetTT is! running high, !;ut they are contracting no State debt, und they g on the policy of finishing their work and putting it into use as they go along. The roads now 1 built arc all profitable. The average cott is not over J $1.).000 per mile, and the expense ol repairs not heavy. ' The roads are paid for in the increased value of the 1 lands of the State. Indianapolis will yet be the railroad : city. Already nine distinct roads uro begun which terminate there and haya their depots at dilbrent points a round the town. An admirable arrangement is devised for connecting them all together, and avoiding the necessite of reloading and transportation through the city, j A union track is to run entirely round the cWf. connect- ' ing all the roads together, so that trains from any one j can pass right on upon any other. Soon there will be i two ro.ids from the Obit) river to the Lakes one from ! Madison through Indianapolis and Lafayc tte. and one i Irom New Albanv, opposite Louisville, to Lafayette, ; and thence to Michigan City. The survey of the route from Lafayette, on the Wabash river, to Michigan City, is made. The distance is ninety miles, eighty miles bej ing a straight line. Then you know Indiana is the com- ; I mon territory tbrongh which the Atlantic cities, Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York and Boston, arc each' I striving to reach the heart of this vast world opening to I them in this valley. All the roads from these several ' points, and as many more, will be good st ck. If any one thinks of carrying oir the products of this valley ou I i any one or two roads, he had better set himself to car- j ry ing off the Niugara river in a pipe stem, till ho gets his by" lrr'"'ded ,n ?k in il w - From the Journal of Commerce. Important from C'ubn Detail of the News by tJnf Moauicr Isabel. Charleston, July 25th. The steamer Isabel, with Havana advices of the 22J mst., has arrived at her wharf. The news from Cuba is exceedingly contradictory ; but private letters, received from ci editable sources, . , . state that many towns are in arms against the government, aud that tho insurgents number 5,000 strong. In several skirmishes bet .vcen the patriots and the troops, tue latter suffered severe losses. At the battle Ib'ioht at Neuvitas the troops wore defeated, and some offi-ers, amonj them Col. Cuote. were I captured. The remainder of the government forces took I reiuge ou boaid of a steamer. At the last uecoitnts one i thousand insurgents were reported to be in possession of Neuvitas, and the government hud scut 2,000 troops j against ihem. On the other hand, it is stated that the Goverment had ' received by expi ess news from Puerto Principe to the 10th mst., and that the rebels, commanded by Jouquin Auaero, had been dispersed by the Government troops with the loss of five killed, and many horses, munitions of war. Stc., captured. Large numbers of the insurgents are said to have surrendered, aud others wore ready to do so on receiving an assurance of pardon. The whole Island, except in the vicinity of Puerto Principe and Neuvitas, is reported bv lhe Government to be perfectly tranquil, and the public is cautioned bv the Captain-General against heading the exaggerated rumors of disaffection which are manufactured for effect in the United States. There were but few Spanish vessels of war at Havana several having sailed for Puerto Principe with troop. Tho French steamer Magado had been ordered home, and the Model was to take her place. It is reported that two Government spies arrived in the Isabel, to watch the friends of Cuba in America. FURTHER CUBAN INTELLIGENCE. Washington, July 2th. The Intelligencer of this morning, states that the Editor had conversed with a gentleman who came passenger in the Isabel, who states that at Puerto Principe three companies of the regiment of Cantabria had gone ,..,ar t.. ft... till Hü I I I . n.l U - .

I he Intelligencer s lnftmn- ; ant states that the reported defeat at Qucnnas, of the i Spanish troops, with the loss of 300 men, probably origij nated f. om the circumstance that, while the troops were being transported across the river at that place, a scow I in which a large number had embarked, was upset, and j I many were drowned. The Gazelle de la Havana, of the 22d, merely notices i ! the defeat of the rebels under Aguero, and states that the disaffected districts had been placed onder martial law, and that the insurgents would be summarily dealt j ! with. An Unfortunate Occurrence. Hiram P. Walker, late one of our subscribers and an old and valuable citizen of this county, came to an untimely death a shoit time since, I y the falling of an old tree near the roadside. This event took place in Illinois. Mr. W.f together with his wife, had been on a visit to a daughter, residing in that Slate, and were returning homo when this sad bereaverrent befell the family. What is most singular in regard to this event, is the fart that tho horse upon which Mr. Walker was riding at tl e lime, escaped unhurt Putnam Co. Sentinel. Ctn.

MONDAY EVENING, AUGUST 4, 1851.

When a Democrat 10 Stato Convention meets and delegates to Mr. Brown the power to read men out ol tho Democratic party, we will then acknowledge his right to ao so; hut not till then. When we are read out for voting for Mr. Julian, Arte thousand other Democrats in this district will have to be thrown o erboard for the same otlence many of whom have served in the Democratic ranks for more than a quarter of a century. Jejferionian. We have no desire to read any man out of the Demoeratic party. But when a man voluntarily abandons the doctrines laid down by the Democratic National Convention, and formally endorses the sectional doctrines of the Frcesoil party, and supports one of its leading and active members, we think he volpntarily reads himself out; and if there are three thousand Democrats in the District, who have done the same thing, they ' arc in the same condition. They may come up in a body t0our State Convention next winter .anddemand that their Julian platform bo adopted. It will avail them nothing. On this rock tho Democracy of Massachusetts split. The same result will follow such an attempt in Indiana. If we are to lie defeated, let us be defeated tighti.ig for our long-established and cherished principles. Wc hope Mr. Elder will think of these consequences, and not urge his Frcesoil notions on the party. D Not a single member opposed to the Compromise measures will be returned, unless Julian should succeedState Sentinel. tT Judge Borden will bo elected by a large majority. State Sentinel of tame date. ILT A flat contradiction, Mr. Brown, as Judge Borden takes as riecidi d ground against the Compromise mens, ores, as wc learn from those who have beard him on the stump, as does Mr. Julian. True Democrat. We must hnve better authority than Rawson Vaile, before we shall believe that Judge Borden is opposed to lhe Compromise measures. He will bo eleetcd, and . . . .. . , , , , when he votes lor the ' unconditional repeal of the Fugitive Slave law, then we will give up. Matilove Caldwell, Esq. Wc regret that the able and patriotic communication , from this sterling old Jackson Democrat was received too late for publication in our weekly. Mr. Caldwell is a true man. He ha;; always been a consistent Democrat, and will suffer himself to be cast into the furnace of Abolition indignation, before he will fall down and worship false gods. JjTGarbcr declined the canvanss for Representative in Jefferson county. Neither party have any confidence in him, and his vote, had he continued a candidate, would have proved that faet. He therefore prudently declines the exposure. The Whigs love the treason but hate the traitor. He is for the out and out Whig ticket. 0 The statement in the last Jeffcrsonian , that Mr. Parker subscribed for a large number of the Sentinel, to be sent into that District ou the eve of tho election, is ALSE. tiroioLical survey of Mlinois. Tho Governor, Auditor, and Treasurer oflllinois, under an act of the General Assembly, providing for a Geological Survey, have appointed Dr. J. G. Norwood, formerly of Madison in this State. Of tho appointment the Illinois State Register says: Dr. Norwood has been, for unrno six or eiifht vcars, in lhe employ of the General Government, in connection with Dr. David Dale Owen of Indiana, and was engag- j ed with that gentleman in the Geological survey of portions of Indiana, Iowa, Wisconsin and Minnesota. His qualifications, both as regards scientific acquirements and practical knowledge are represented to be of the highest character, and we doubt not tho State is eminentlj fortunate in securing his services. He is rccom- i mended by Dr. Owen as among the best American prac- i tical geologists a recommendation of no little weight and authority, when the eminent ability and great learn- I ing of Dr. Owen arc considered. We also understand that it has been so arranged that the assistants of Dr. Norwood will be selected from this State, so that an opportunity mav be atlordcd to some of our own citizens to acquire, in addition to the scientific knowledge which many of them doubtless possess in a Creat degree, the practical st ;" i.ociuial tu the accomplished geologist.

Hard to Beat. A private letter from a brother whig in Washington city to tho editor of tho Eaton Register says: Douglas, Houston, Butler of Kentucky, or Buchanan, will bo the Democratic uomineo for the Presidency. I think Douglas stands the best chance. He wiil be hard to beat. Well, he will! CCJndge Duncan, one of the Virginia Commissioners i to the World's Fair, gives it as his opinion, written buck to the Richmond Republican, that the government of Great Britain is desirous of seeing South Cnrolina -ecede from the Union, and will afford her traitorous schemes whatever aid can be extended. ttPome boys at Madison, Ia., on Tuesday evening, while bathing in the Ohio, discovered a newly born infant child floating in the water a groat distance from shore, wrapped in a cotton cloth and its feet and hands bound together with a rope, to one end of which a stone was tied as an anchor.

The Crops Politics, Ac. NoBLEtVlLLE. July 23. 151 Ma. Editor : ;: Brevity," 1 I said, " is the spioe of wit, that gives it all its flavor." Indeed, I have always : been an admirer of good old John Wesley's rule " Short sermons, short prayers, and short meetings:" as a proof, ; of my sincerity, this will be a short letter, of a Sofas- ! ; gundi character. The wheat crops in this county are suid to be better j i yeui than tiiey have been lor any year during the j ' last ten years. f he corn crops never looked moro j promising. In politics every thing is chaotic the sky seems; rather cloudy but" there is a possibility that the Demo- j ' cratic party will elect their candidate for Represents- ; j live. Dr. Shaw and Mr. Voss are no longer candidates: a matter of regret, as they arc the men who, more than j any others ol" their parties, could havo concentrated the forces of the two great political bodies of the country. Dr. Shaw is a souud and orthodox Democrat, and hud he continued to be a candidate, the forces of the Democ racy would have rallied to his support ; tho Whigs would ' havo done the same for Mr. Voss, who is known to be no " Silver-Grey " Whig. At present it is not certain : who will be run by the two parties. It is quite desir- ! able, however, that all who are for the dissolution of the Union will unite and support the nigger ticket. It is equally disgraceful and degrading to candidates I of tho Whig or Democratic parties, to receive votes towards their election from the Abolition faction; and ! the disgrace becomes deeper and darker in proportion ;iin the candidates solicit such votes. No good and sensible man no good patriot will, in these times, take an Abolition paper, or countenance an Abolition politician, or hear an Abolition preacher, or pay for his support, or pray for his prosperity. It is rumored about here that a certain fr.nr'ier an cd- , itor in Madison, has been recently convened over to the j AUdilion sido of the fence, and that there is great rejoicing among the colored party over this one repenting sinner." So mote it be. T. A. Hendricks, candidate fjr Congress from this district, made a very good and satisfactory speech here 1 on yesterday. He will no doubt get the entire Demo- ! cratic vote of this county. He makes himself popular wherever he goes. The "Sentinel" is increasingly popular here. The Whigs lament that they have no more able or efficient j man ut head-quarters" than Del'rccs. Indeed, 1 have t heard prominent Whigs say that he is incompetent to the discharge of the duties of a conducter of their cen- ; tral organ. There is no doubt that should an able and I reliable Whig print be started at Indianapolis, the Whigs would generally support it and desert Dr. Dei'rees. 3 n CIYTS. P. S.

Tho annual caravans from the settlement arrived at St Paul, Miinnesota, ab lut the 20th of July consisting of 102 carts. W the net part, drawn each by one ox, and laden with buflalo skins, mocasins, buffalo tongues, pernmiean, &c, which they exchange for merchandise suited to their wants. The train left Selkirk on the 4th of June, and usually occupies about three months in the entire trip. A monthly mail has been established between St. Paul and Pembina, which is on this side, and near the boundary line between the United States and the British Possessions. A Deputy Collector of customs has also been appointed for Pembina. The Minnesota Democrat is informed by the Seikirkens that the exaction of the duty 20 per cent on tbeir buffalo robes and 30 per cent on their moeaains will compel them to abandon the trade with us, and to depend on the Hudson Bay Company for snpplies in exchange for their robes, &c. They pay a duty of 4 per cent to the British authorities for all tho goods they take from this tide. The Democrat states that the population of Selkirk settlement is about seven thousand, including Indians. They raise large crops of barley, oats, spring wheat, potatoes, and all kinds of garden vegetables that grow in temperate latitude TThey plant early in May. They usually havo frost till the 1st of June and again in September.

Junge Borden and Free-Soil. Our statement in relation to the views of Judge Bor den on the compromise measures it fully sustained by the folio wing .extract from the Winchester Patriot, the Whig free-soil organ of Randolph county: INDIANA TRUE DEMOCRAT. This paper claims to l the free-soil organ of the : Stale of Indiana, and its editor also claims to be a very j honest and candid sort of a man, who would uot know- ' tniry or urilully misrepresent the views and opinions of men, even though they might not bo on the sunny side of his good pleasure. We notice an editorial in the last , number of his paper, which attempts to givo the views and positions the candidates for Congress in this district occupy, and we confess we were greatly surprised to lind it almost totally deficient in truth with respect to the different positions that the the two candidates occu- ' py before the people of the district. As to Mr. Brenton's position the editor says: nib sv in 1 1... rti. i .lio.lo.l t it... m. u,. . m ..... . ... ... aw.-'. v. u .... , .,, , ., lui.

"As to the vote of the frce-soilers we have it from ofli. cial aulhoiiiy that the fioc-soilers of Grant county, have determined unanimously to vote for Samuel Brenlou for Congress. We think it is probable that tho liee-soiiers of iiaiidolph will do likewise; if so, Brenlou's majority iu this county wiH not fall short of 250. When we read the endorsement of Judge Borden's , free-soilism wc thought that the free-soilers in that Disi triet might be seduced into his support. We aro now satisfied that this prty will support Brenton, and if Brenton is elected it will be by the united Whig and j free-soil vote. Vail's article in his favor was intended to deceive the Democrats of Way no and Henry counties. C?" Wc call attention to the advert sement of J. J. Schroyer k Co.

Arkansas. The Congressional canvass in this State seems to grow warmer and more interesting as it progresses. The issue between Captain John Prcstcii, (Whig,) and Robert W. Johnson, (Opp.,) is very much tho same as that between Foote aud Quit man in Missis sippi. Mr. Johnson, a bold man aud of somewhat ultra tone, cannot abide the compromise measures, and thinks that continued union promises to be continued wrong to the South. Capt . Preston approves the compromise mvasiires and takes what is generally known as the Union ground. Senator Borland accompanies lhe candidates at all their appointments. At Van Buren. Mr. Johnson claimed that his position was identical with that ol Senator Borland, whereupon the later gentleman rose, and emphatically denied tho assertion he acquiesced in the compromises. Tue Van Buren Intelligencer, a leading (Democratic) journal, warmly opposes Johnson says that the people of Aakansas cannot abide disunion, and compliments Capt. Preston warmly. But a Whig candidate iu Arkarsas, and a poor boy at a frolic, arc much one and the same though no battle can be desperate which is fought in the name of Union and the compromise. JV. OrUmnt Crescent. The Truth Well Spoken. At the late Women's Convention at Akron, Ohio, one of tho younger members arose and delivered hcrscll after this manner. She said: "For her own part she loved man, individually and collectively, better than woman, and so she was sure, did every one of her sex. if they, like her, would utter their teal sentiments. Sho was more anxious lor man's elevation and improvement than for woman's, and so was every true woman. ,: That young woman was right ; and there is no one of her sex who does not feel the same sentiment inspiring her soul, who can make a til companion lor man The woman who docs her duty nr.ist be continually striving ''for man's elevation and improvement." She is far, far above him now; and it is only by patient and arduous exertion that be can ever be elevated to her standard of excellence. Pittsburgh Post. Singular and Mysterious. We learn that two men, Dennis Cormoran and Graham Flaherty, wbjle engaged on Thursday in digging a cellar on Freeman j street, not far from Western Row , came upon an iron I box about six feet below the surface of the ground. It ! is about five feet long, ten inches wide, and six inches in ' depth. It contained a quantity of ashes resembling wool, 1 among which were found twenty buttons, about the size j of a gold eagle, upon which was Ihe head of George III ; underneath was the name "A. L. Sutton, London, ITSs." On examination it was discovered that they were gold. and probably what seemed to be ashes had been a coat j to which they belonged. Besides these things the box ! contained sixteen silver plates, about the size of the breakfast plates of the present day, two milk pitchers, a j sonP ,adlc of the same material, and twelve gold tea spoons with the mark of "S" on the handle.

Thn Fccliug in Euglnmd. A letter Oom Judge Duocan. one of the Virginia Commissioner at the World's Fair in London, is published in the Richmond Republican ; ia which that gentleman complains of the treatment sbf.wn to the Southern memlers of the Commission by the English. The Judge confidently believes "that there exists a fixed determination on lbs part of the English Government, bucked by t he popular s ntimcnl of the nation aud by the press, to dissolve the American Union." The Judge says that the keeping up of the slavery excitement by England is the entering wedge to the at' tempt ; and he urges the South to adhere to the Union and South Carolina to remember that her secession will only restore her to the position of a colony of England. He says that British agents have already promised to that State British protection, and goods in exchange for cotton. We believe that the suspicions of Judge Duncan are not overrated. The aggrandizement of England, without regard to the mode, or to the welfare of other naI tions, has always been the guiding principle of British .statesmen. The United States are now at a Mint of

As separated, discordant States, England I could deal with them, us she has done with smaller Slates all over the world, " protecting," subsidizing, or appropriating them, as policy may requite. The policy of England is either to monopolize the cotton iuterest j for herself by a Southern treaty, or C7 to destroy it , altogether by abolishing slavery. Nothing more complctcly suicidal was ever dreamed by any cotton Stat than a secession and treaty Union w' h England. Eng- ; land could not expect to be long tolerated in soch an alliance, and her aim would be, before being driven pat iu the great national war which would ultimately follow secession, to cripple the South, destroy her peculiar form of labor and retire, under more favorable circumstances than before to promote the cultivation of a new cotton i field of her own. The South will receive from England the vulture's treatment, to be covered and devoured by her overwhelming friendship. These are painful n flec- ' lions; and nerve every patriot to the determination that thereshall be no disunion come what will. England ( can never be permitted to retnke any Slate of this Union. 1'roridence lieynbltcan Herald. fltick a Pin riuht there! A writer in lhe Southern Recorder, speaking of lhe constitutional riht of scceteivn, says: This doctrine has been asserted upon four distinct j occasions in the United States, and not oftener. " 1st. The Federalists in the Hartlot d Convention during the late war asserted it. " 2d. The Abolitionists, in the recent Convention at Syracuse. N. Y., asserted it. u 3d. The Southern Rights Convention at Charleston lately asserted it ; and "4th. The McDonald Disunion Convention at MilIcdgevillc asserted it. " This last body attempted to lolter up their abominable faith, by referring to the Kentucky resolutions drawn by Mr. Jetferson. ' This is false. Mr. Jetferson never supported any such diK-lriue. Tint hole republican paity always opposed secession. They opposed it under Mr. Jefferson's administration, and under that of Mr. Madison.

"2 Macon (Go.) Journal. The Mndiion "Courier." We have noticed for some time pas' thai the Louisville Journal, Leuisvilhl Courier, Indianapolis Journal- and other rabid Whig pupeis, have been very profuse in their commendations of the democracy of the Madison Courier. What is the cause I Unless the Courier were pursuing a course calculated to do material benefit lo lhe Whig party, we are quite ecrta neither uf the papers wo have mentioned would speak approvingly of its political course. "Wo be unto you when your enemies praise you!" So we say, 'when political opponents approve your political coin se, loot well to your ways, lor you must be wandering from the true path." We tlsink. under these circumstances, the Courier should undergo a rigid and thorough self-examination. If it wcjc in the right road, it would, instead of receiving the encouragement and j' raise of the Whig presses, be covered with tl eir venom. Another circumstance, besides the support of the bitter whig papers, leads us lo supHise that theie is something wrong about the Courier, aud that is, that a Democratic paper bus been started in Madison undct the auspices of the most reliable, well known and influential Democrats of that place and surrounding country. If there was not something iu lhe Caurier decidedly wrong would these things have happened? We thiiik not. Cin. Enquirer. I'ifty-fonr Forty.
