WBF For Particular aes RefeVM on next page ! '. ! George W. Julian's Defeat. We learn from various quarters that we have been de nounccd by this gentleman, in his late canvass, with a bit taraess which his vindictive malice alone is capable of pouring forth. Unscrupulous in his ansertions, he and bis particular adherents have stopped at nothing. But he has run his race He has fallen, and we have no disposition to triumph. We have never assailed the man. never shall, personally; we would not fling a straw in his road. Politically we opposed hiiu, because we bonestlv belived bis doctrines were dangerous, bis associations were with men hosiilo to the Union, and his policy calculated to disturb the peace and harmony of the country. A majority of such mcmliers in Congress as Geo. W. Julian would dissolve this glorious Union, and involve the land in all the horrors of civil war. Opposition to such men and such principles we regard as higher duty than pany fealty. Tbousunds of honest, true, and consistent Democrats voted for Mr. Julian, because I hey did not look upon his doctrines in the same light ' that we d.d. Had they mingled in the exciting scenes of tbe last Congress they would have acted as we have ... i done. With them we have no quarrel, unless they shall attempt to engraft Juhauisra on the Democratic creed. Against that attempt we now declare war. We mean to. sustain the compromise measures, and the laic vote in Indiana proves that the people are with us. We propose to add nothing to tho Democratic creed that is not already there. No man can advocat: the abolition of slavery in the District of Columbia, or the repeal of the fugitive slave law. who squares his political action by the 1 - , rm I t -........w .-I. r-v - nexi rresiucnuai election win oc a unii 111 support 01 tne compromise measures Those who oppose them will i 11 leave the Democratic organization We ate in favor of a creed plain and explicit as the declaration of Independencc.

Toombs has been re-nominated for Congress by a convention of his district, ami has accepted. In his letter of acceptance he uses the following language, in relcrcme to Northern anti-slavery sentiment. It clearly foreshadows the policy of the Southern Whigs: Its acknowledged exponent is the Free Soil party, but it is also virulent and dangerous, both in the Wing and Democratic parties at the North. The Whig pui ty ii ts succumbed to it, and it controls the organization of that party in every non-slavcholding Slate in tbe Union. Ii i thoroughly denationalised and scctiotializcd bv it. and will uever make another National contest. The Whig party el the South will never meet the Scwnrds. I and W intlimps, and Vintons, nnd Johnsons, and Baldins nt the N 'i tli, in another National Convention. We are indebted to the defeat of the policy of these men for i the existence of tiie government this day. We shall : trust them no more. Tho Democratic party at the North, though prosti at .1. is not yet utterly destroyed by this same cause. The Fiee s..,, di-ment sways the parly triumphant Iv in Masj.aclitis. tis. ami ton gieat extent throughout New England. It has annihilated it in New York, and conti. !s it in Ohio, lint the majoritv of that party in New Jitscv, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Illinois, and Iowa, are a- t unsubdued, ami are Mill capable o a mighty effort tor the Const 1 1 ut ion and Hie Union. Our true poltcv is to compel Ixitii pr.rtics to purge themselves ; this dangerous element if either will, to ; sustai it if neither w ill. then it we expect top,, serve the country, we must overthrow both, ar.d rally the sound men of both parties to a common st indard This is ihe onl policy which can preserve ! -h our rights and the Linon. L t us steadily pursue it." A speck of War. S vcral persons who have lately visited tho towns of i Santa R 'a, Moielos, and the Presidio, for the purpose of i capturing runaway slaves, have returned, and report that the fugitive slaves are harbored by the .Mexican-, ami in some instances l uce ha been used to prevent our citizens from recaptuiing these slaves. This ,, i- -o exasperated many ot the settlers at the west that they arc determined to raise a lorce sufficient to overpower all oppisition, and recapture their slaves at all hazards. At the last accounts a large party of armed Texan had assent oh d near Presidio, and threatened to attack the town ii tie fugitive slaves were not given up. It is intimated that there a e not less than two thotmoad rugitive laea in the Mexican tow ns between the mouth oi uie mo auuc nun rresiuio. in aauia ivosa uiere arc forty fugitives, who escaped from one plantation in Arkansas. The owner of them has made many efforts i .i . .. ... to iiniucc mem to return to Arkansas, nut in vain.

We have been informed that about two hundred fugitives from Texas crossed at one of the principal ferries on the Rio Grande, during the lust two y. ars.

The heaviest blowhas lallen upon the Krie, which from S-l a few days sin. e. ! a- torn bed ;.s low a 71 i. 0 her stoek have all been all et (1, hut not to an cuual extent. IM niey is in de mand and dilhcult tobe had, except at high rates. Short loans are being called in by flic banks and brokers. The , former discount sparingly, and there seems all round to be a general disposition to suspend operations for the present, till we see what efb-ct the excessive shipmct.'.s of specie will have. It is the fear of disastrous results from this cause, that has produced the present slate of things. There is prahahly no sufficient cause for the excessive alarm which now exists, hat the cheek given w ill exert a salutary influence. Il will tend to check importations. It will knock up speculative movements. It will give our people an opportunity to turn round to see where they nre. It will beget a greater caution on the part of our business men. and will exert a strong influence to ward oil" the evils that are feared. The coni " ' j:,- , r i r . i u e ditionol the future depends entirely upon the extent of our shipments of specie, compared with our receipts. We have a vast surplus ot products of every branch ot industry; and but for the extent of our foreign indebted ness, wo should bo in the enjoyment of unparalleled prosperity. Quotations of new securities are merely nominal. There is but little movement of any kind. The foreign rail market continues dull, without any immediate prospect of a rise. C""Mrs. Swisshelm, of the Pittsburg Saturday Visitor, in giving her ideas at length on the proposed change in I'einal" co-tume (-' having made several attempts to wtar the Bloomer d.ess, but given it up as a bad job), says: " Our experience teaches us that decency requires three coverings for the person in the warmest weather, two of muslin and one of lawn the widest of the underskiits to lc three yards in circumference, the other two and a half, the lawn skirt outside may be four, five, six or seven yards wide, and the three garments would w eigh two pounds scarcely so much. When this rests upon the shoulders it is not a very giievous burden, and if it is not enough for the requirements of decency, it is twenty years since we were decently dressed on a very warm day. If the wind likes to come and wrap your vklrt rln.i' arminil vmir limits tl,t ia tl. . .' l.,iui ,.,. ,) we do not sen rl,t n'nv one lo... . nol,t i i selves. The Good Father made the form, and made it very nicely. All we have to do is to clothe it, and leave its proportions just as we find them." Mrs. Swishelm is ont of the females you read about, but seldom see. IT They cultivate tho blackberry in the noighberhood of Boston. An old pasture is broken up, the sprouts are planted in rows in October, and kept clear of weeds, and otherwise treated like raspberries. The Agriculturist says that the fruit thus produced is of a size and flavor which surprises those who are only acquainted with the wild blackberry. Our readers may not all be aware that the American species has a more agreeable flavor than the European. There are also different varieties of the American fruit even in its wild state, from which a selection might be made. CTHon. Caleb B. Smith will leave Connersvitle for Cincinnati, where he proposes residing aod practicing law, about the first of next month. He has formed a partnership wirb the firm of Spencer &. Corwine.

Wo have taken some pains to prepare the Legislative Table, and the Tables of the result for Congress, and the vote on the Constitution and the Negro exclusion article, and we trust that our cotcniporarics who copy them, will give us the proper credit.

Railroad Meeting. A meeting composed of som. of our best and most enterprising citizens was held ut the Court House on Saturday at 10 o'clock. W. Sulivan presided; Benj.

I. Blytbe and Royal Mayhew were Vice Presidents, and J. S. Bobbs and I. W. Hunter acted as Secretaries. Hon. G. II. Dunn, PrcsiJent of the Lawreneehargh and Upper Mississippi Rail Road, delivered an address, in which he demonstrated the fact that tho road from Indianapolis ,y ,ne w :iy of Shelbvville, Greensburgh and T , , J. ' ,. . , ,. Luwreneeburgh was the nearest, the cheapest and the cheapest best route direct to Cincinnati. From his statements the road is in a fair way for completion to Shtluy ville by the fall of 1852. Mr. Dunn stated that the first division of the road I would be ready for the iron which was expected to arI rive in a few weeks and would be immediately laid dow n, i 1700 tons heavy T pat . lit, w eighing GO lbs to the yard, bad been purchased ami was on its way. Tie work was ail let to Shelbyville C3 miles, and the heavy Jobs worked upon as far as St. Omer. All was to be completed so as to rceeivo the superstructure next season. Means were provided for this object except on 11 miles in Shelby county, which was awaiting a further subscription of Stock from the citizens of that region. The distance from Lawrcnceburgh to Indiannpolis is 90 miles, and the entire cost, including debts, engines and rolling stock sufficient to work it $1,050,000. Stock now taken ove r $100,000 of which $100,000 had been collected and expended. The heaviest part of the work was accomplished. $100,000 additional stock would enable the company to complete the grade to Indianapolis. The residue could be obtained on the credit of the company. If means were furnished the work could as well reach Indianapolis as not. He believed Cincinnati would help if it became necessary. Hitherto the company had not gone abroad for assistance the people on the line had done all. If the work was diligently prosecuted, Cincinnati v. i u'd meet it at Lawrcnceburgh. To doubt that would be to suppose she would not be mindful of her interests. Cincinnati was not ignorant of the efforts making by Lmiisvilie to draw to her tho trade of Indiana by means of the Jeftcrsonville and New Albany Rail Road , and she Would be ready to meet the Work at Law rcnceburgh by the time it reached there. It is now only left for our citizens to subscriba from 30 to 50 thousand dollars of stock to ensure the completion of the road to our citv in less than two years, and from the . . .. , , .. . r , spirit manifested 88 the meeting, tbe nature of the reso Unions adopted, and the ability of the men who have so eane stlv taken hold of the matter, we have no doubt that ti e pecuniary aid desired will tie given by Indianapofis in behalf of this enterprise. The advantages of a direct route to the Queen City are incalculable, and when it is taken into consideration that . this road w ill be a main trunk line commanding the travel which will concentrate at this city from the Terre Haute, Lafayette, Bellefontaine and Peru Rail Roads, no fcais need lie entertained but that it will be a paying road to the stockholder. Democracy of Jcfler-on Connty. The Democracy of JelTerson county at a recent mass convention adopted the following resolution: Rewired, That wc regard the present course of the Editor of the Madison Courier as disorganizing in its tendency, fraught with mischievous consequences to the Democratic cause in this county, ami that it is due to our partv and the principles we advocate to publicly repudiate and denounce that sheet as against us not for us. The same convention nominated Capt. John A. Hcn-4 dricks for Representative. Hendricks and twenty-seven others had previously withdrawn their support from the Courier, and in a letter published gave as a reason, that the Courier was an unsound paper, and unworthy of support or confidence. Garbcr, with the influence of his ! paper and his personal exertions, labored to defeat Capt. Hendricks. He was charged with attempting to pu' down the ''freedom of the jrc." At the recent election it appears that 13S0 Democrats voted for Hendiicks. thus virtually sustaining the above resolution and his action in withdrawing bis support from tho Courier, whilst Garber, w ho had lieen nominated by the disorgan izets, only received three votes. This does not look much like dividing the party. CyAn Irishman by the name of James Crow was murdered on Saturday afternoon, some 18 or 20 miles from this city, under the following circumstances: Crow was a workman on the Terre Haute Railroad, in the employ of a Mr. Coyner, contractor. A dispute arose between them about some money which was coming to Crow, $1.50 and, during the quarrel, Coyner approached the former, drew a dirk-knife and stabbed him to the heart theti withdrew the knife reeking with blood, and stabbed him again in the side. Crow fell, and died in less than ten minutes. It is said that the whole scene was witnessed by two men standing near by, and that the affair was so sudden they wer unable to prevent tbe sad occurrence. The main body of the workmen were some distance oil", but as soon as the new!, reached them they scoured the woods in pursuit of Coyner, who fled immediately after the deceased fell. Had he been caught, he would have been lynched on the siMit-. We understand that he has since given himself up to the a'-.thorities of Hendricks county, at Danville. The hotly of the murdered man was brought to this city on yesterday, and haried in our giave-yard. K7"Wc understand since writing the above that Crow was killed by Coyner in scll-defcm e. The facts brought both by lue trial w iil appear in a day or two. Oif Again. Mr. Fillmore, accompanied by the Secretary of the Interior nnd the Secretary of War, leaves the city today on a visit to Western Virginia. The important rumors from Mexico and tho outbreak in Cuba indicate ! this as a most unsuitable time lor a presidential pleas ure excursion. But, on tho other hand, the Virginia eld tii ns will come off in October, ami aller llie present luotitl, flic medicinal viitues of the Virginia Springs would hardly serve as an excuse for three healthy and heart) men to leave p sts of high public trust. At the last accounts Mr. Webster was in New England ; so that the affairs of the Government are left in the hands of Mr. Corwin, who has just returned from Ohio, and Mr. Graham, who has just relumed from North Carolina, w here Congressional elections arc to be turned from Kentucky ; but we presume we may venture . i 1 f- nr l ! i held aext 1 hursdav. Mr. Crittenden has not vet re to annonnce his speed v arrival in Washington, inasmuch as the Kentucky elections tivk place yesterday, affording him leisure for his official duties. The elections will now soon be over, and then we may hope at least that the cabinet will settle down in Washington to enter on its official duties, satisfied with months of travel and snted with adulation. Union. Murder. On last Tuesday evening, aliout dusk, Cornelius Lj'ons left Lugro, in this county. Ii r his residence some four miles up the canal from that place, and on the Thursday morning following, his body was found in the canal between his home and Lagro, with such marks of violence upon it, as to leave no doubt upon the minds of the Coroner's Jury, of his having been murdered His head was much cut and bruised, and both ol" his coller bones were broken in a manner indicating that lie had been struck with a heavy club. Lyons was an inoffensive sort of an Irishman we are informed, but addicted to spreeing occasionally. He was somewhat intoxicated when he left Lagro, and had four or five dollars in money, and four or five dollars' wortii of Indian silver ttinkets in his possession. None of these were about his person when lound. No clue to tho perpetrators of this cold-blooded murder, has yet been discovered. Lyons leaves a wife to deplore bis untimely and distressing end. Wabash Gaz. u Who struck Billy PattkrsonT" This very important question seems to have been settled on Monday last, and we understand that it is shrewdly suspected that Mr. J. G. Davis, late Clerk of the Parke Circuit and Probate Courts, is the induro-vidual who (, ,r.. that brieV-bat. He must be turned over to tbe grand jury. Terre Haute Express. Z7 Goods were received a few days since in St. Louis, which came from New York, via. New Orleans, iafifteen days; said to be the shortest time on record. tr-Prood men can never have friends, for in prosperity they know nobody, and in adversity nobody knows them.

Wright left tho city this morning to attend the annual commencement of Indiana University, at Blooiuington. He will he absent until Friday. Oregon. A private letter to the Editor says that Gen. Lane's majority will exceed two thousand. The Portland Weekly Times, rejoicing over the result, says: 'Thus it will be seen that General Lane, the early pioneer, und Governor of Oregon, has been triumphantly elected to Congress. It must be a proud satisfaction to him to receive, at the bands of the freemen of Oregon, the highest honor and trust within their gift. And this signal and almost unanimous expression in his favor, bears unquestionable testimony of his faithful discharge of public duty while Governor of Oregon. The people have reposed great confidence, in him and expect much at his bauds, as a Delegate, and in our opinion he will be the last man who will be unmindful of their confidence, j or disappoint their expectations. Jo Lane is good for j all his promises." j His election lias moused tho w a i . i higs, and they avow! raw the partV lines, i their ileteriuiuation uerealler to uraw the party The Times and the Statesman reply that tin y are ready, and the sooner there is a distinct party organization, the better. Mr. Preston the Surveyor General, has run his base line from the Pacific to the Cascade mountains, and with a heavy force will commence the immediate survey of the public lands. There is considerable excitement in relation to the re cent Indian depredations The Statesman cives the following particulars of the origin of these hostilities ' About two weeks previous to the happening of the above dilfit-ullies. a party of three white men and two supposed friendly Indians, on the way to the mines, Damped about 12 miles beyond. During the fcjgfcj the Indians arose, and taking the only gun in the party. shot one of them a young man by the name of David Dilley, and fled to the mountains, taking with them the mules and packs. The other two escaped, and returned to a company two miles f 'rtber back, who immediately went and buried the body the murdered man. Upon hearing of this, a party of thirty left the Chaste mines un der the command of Capt. Long, of Portland, to revenge young Dilley'a death. At the Rogue River crossing tin y came upon a party of Indians, and killed a second chief and one other Indian, and took two of the head chiefs daughters, and two men prisoners. The chief demanded the prisoners, but the captors refused to release them until the murderers of Dilley were given up and the stolen property restored. He refused to yield to this demand, and left, saying he would return with his warriors and destroy the party." A party of nine men, under Capt. Fitzpatrick, have been cut otf by the Indians, and, as is supposed, all murdered, at Rogue River. Governor Gaines and Gen. Jo. Laxe have each raised detachments and marched against these Indians. Pacific News. a We condense the following from the late California and Oregon papers. The late fire, which is the sixth within the last two years, did mt extend to that portion of the city occupied by the heavy mercantile houses. Tho public buildings, court house, jail, &c., were entirely destroyed. The Alta Califvruian, the oldest and largest newspaper establishment, lost all say $-j0,000. This is a severe blow on those young men who have struggled so hard to build up the office. The tire was the work of an incendiary. Eight persons lost their lives during the conflagration three were burned to death, two were shot whilst in the act of robbing, and three others were killed in the general melee. The Indians all over the State have become very troublesome. Murders, roblreries. thefts, are common. Nothing but a severe chastisement will In ing them to respect fully the rights of persons and property. Treaties seem to be of no avail. Col. Fremont was at Los Angelos, and had resolved to w ithdraw from politics and devot" himself to money getting. He had purchased five thousand head ol beeves, on a contract to supply the Indian tribes of tie? South. A specimen of quartz gold was taken out at Sonora, worth 554.UOO. Some fill tons of quartz have been shipped to Europe, by Messrs. La Grave and Co., of Gias Valley, lir tbe purpose of having it tested by the machinery there used in extracting gold. The great want felt by the quartz miners is a means ol amalgamating the flue gold. No process yet in use has succeeded in saving all the metal, and in most cases half is permitted to escape. A survey of the Colorado has demonstrated that from its mouth to the junction of the Gila, 140 miles, that river is navigable bv steamers. A couple ol gentlemen had reached Los Angelos from Sonora, Mexico, with a 1.000 head of sheep, out of 4,000 which they had originally purchased. The animals had eaten a poisonous weed at Carissa Creek ; the carcases were stiewed along the road in such abundance that the emigrants who followed were forced to clear them away before they could proceed. Taking the prices which they would have brought in the upper market, the loss is worth $20,000. In the citv of Sonora, a worthy citizen, Capt. Snow, having been brutally murdered, and two of the assassinhaving been taken a few days afterwards, were tried and hung bv the populace, and buried in the grave which they had dug for their victim. A terrible row occurred at a new town called Mclones, near Carson's Diggings, about two abandoned worccn, in which one or two Americans and three or four Mexicans were killed. A marauding party of twelve men, commanded by a Captain li ving, were all killed by the Indians of the Coliuilla tribe, near Los Angelus. They deserved their fate. A great many Mormons, from the Salt Lake Valley, have arrived in the Los Angelos Valley. The estimated immigration by the way of the Plains to this State the coming season, is set down at live or six thousand persons only. Accounts from tho mines and placers are very encouraging , especially in the rotten piartz diggings. The prospect through the country for good crops is excellent, and a vast amount ol vegetables will undoubtedly be produced. Immigration roa 1851.
