INDIANA STATE SENTiNEI

" WILLIAM J. BROWN, Editor, INDIANAPOLIS: SATURDAY EVENING, AUGUST in, IM1. Mississippi. In no Southern State is the contest for and against the compOemise measures waged with more violcnee than in : ' I T" 1 !" 1 feMM M l.f on. JülSSlSSippi .

Heniy Stuart Foote, a member ol the United States Senate, and now the Union candidate . .... for Governor. He not only advocates the strict adhcrnce to the compromise measures, bat justifies then adoption as measures called for by the whole country. ; . . . I. , ,,; 1 So Ions as the State, in good taith adhere to t..i, se.th - ment he is opposed to secession, but he openly a Jv. ate disunion the moment the Northern States nullify or .lisregard these laws. Under th.s banner .be great body of the old Whig party have rallied, and a:.' now supporting Foote, Freeman, Naher and the NN candi- j date,. The other party stylo themselves the Southern Right parly and are opposed to the compromise mensnres, especially the Texas boundary bill, by which they a I that slave territory was made free, ami the ad- , ,., . l I r 1 , mission of California with the provision excluding slavery from the entire State, and they arc especially hostile to 1 thea.ithors of the compromise measures, who they assert compromise measures, who they assert .. . sacrificed the interests of the South.

They aie opposed to separate action. Indeed thy are opposed to any immediate action. In atl their sneeäies thev laud the Union a, it was formed . . , -,. - ,1 and eu ogize the wisdom and painotism rd those who formed it. But they allege that the Lruon has been per- , verted by the domineering spirit of northern fanaticism, and that to secure their rights under the original come 0 . ; pact, they demand an amendment to the Constitution, 1 and further guaranties from the Northern States. They ; demand a division of California and the formation of a j slave St:ite on its southern border. To thec demands thev know the north w ill neer yield, mJ -.

In mean ÜM their pohcy will be to agnate in favor t( their treasonable projects, and misrepresent the view s mi I ;e :.ctsof the north. Every anti-slavery movement . n 1 '1 I, fi i , in the noith is to them a God-send. It is the Mn that . I eeps burning their disunion fires. The action of a town mcetii;" at Lv:in, or the res Ives of a few mad men at Sv.icusc. thev construe into the imited action of the whole 1 norih, to break tlowu the Constitution and destroy all their rights in the Union. This agitation is to continue until che whole Suth is converted to their dottiincs, then disunion will be inevitable. Tho North will uever consent to further amend the Constitution, to guarantee or sti engthen the institution of slavery, but they w ill give the slave States their cutire Constitutional rights, without any abridgment, and the South must lie content with the Com tilulin as it is, without demanding further conceaaions. To restore the ancient harmony between the States the North must discountenance s.H sectional legislation, they must liown down every attempt to agitate the slavery question. They must lctfc that institution where the Constitution has left it. Instead of conquering the South, they must conquer their own prejudice:!. They must look around then own doors to find subjects for their sympathy and their benevolence. A Inciter and more liberal spirit must prevail. In the language of kindness and affection wc should reason with our erring sisteis. "A soft auswer turneth away Wrath," says the Book of books. Confidence and conceiiun must bind together this Union.

The Padueah Journal says that it is highly probable that Mr. Clav will resign his seat in the United State, Senate soon. Mr. Underwood's term expires in 1853, so that the Legislature just chosen . which holds tit two years under the new constitution, will have to tuet one United States Senator at all events, and two in the event of Mr Clay', resignation.

She is strll there, traveling in the old Democratic path, unshaken by the storm of fanaticism that Las been raging around her. In an ad-j dros, delivered before the late Democratic Slate Con-1 ven tic n by Gen. Charles H. Peaslee, a member of Congress from that State, he so clearly defines lie position and duty of the Democratic party, that we transfer the following extract to our columns, and commend its pe- ' rual to every Democrat: We say emphatically, that the safety of the Union will ileneini uooii tlie action of th- rmwratc party, nol t,,a'l wi, Wl)td llnder,utc thf patriotism and abilities ; 0f individuals of tho Whig paity, but we sny that, as a ' party, it is not equal to the picsent emergency not ..mill in ihe nrrscnt cnns. 1 it- tisk ol maintaining rmiinrim- " - -- .i.e last Concress, it has ' i.ren well said, is a task beyond the potrrr of the present j Administration, with tho Whir 1?' ! and bewildered as it is: und n -s t,.ose m. .rsun s .11 c maij)lHl(K.d n a ,ia ,ea(lII).,. ,ho I'nu.n itself vn. ni)( (fJ ......

Painful Rvaior During the last few days a report baa been in ein illation in our vicinity , to the following cf.i'et : It is elated that on Friday 'aar. as three children were returning to U'.vir homo from school, near Liberty, in Amite county, they were overtaken In a j-aek of dogs iu pursuil of runaway negroes. The dogs fell upon them, and before assistance could be rendered killed and neary devoured every one of them. Tho father of the children, h a 1 ins (heir sei cams and the barking of the dogs, ran out with his gun and succeeded in killing two of them. At this time the owner of the dogs rode up and threatened to shoot the father if he shot any more of the dF. The distressed father re-loaded his gun, and delilierately shot the owner of the dogs through the heart, after wl ich ho gave himself up, was tiicd and discharged. Wc have imt heard the names of any of the parties. lt7Thc Chicago Argu says: " Large numbers f Democrats, for a time past assoc:ated with the Free Soil organization, aio coming 'I11!?'!)' back among their old friends, weavy of their unhappy alliance with Whig I and Aliolitionists, and anx. iou once more to stand on the broad, national platform on which the Democratic party has won all its triumphs from th days of Jefferson and Madisou dowu to the time of Jackson and Polk." Such, we are gratified to learn, is the case in the Wayne Distiict, in this State. Angola. I.vd.. August 11, 1S51. Wm. J.

As I have made the last canvass for Congress in this Disti ir t I shall probably make soon again, I deem the close of it a fitting occasion to publicly express lo mv fiicuds my profound sense of the obligations and gratitude I owe tin in. for their liberal, generous, and cordial support. No man owe, more to his friends than 1 do to mine of this Congressional District no one feels and appreciates this obligation more y- nsiblv. or ehertshes a warmer or livelier sense of gratitude for it. In three successive Congressional canvasses, they have adhered to me with a fidelity that might challenge the admiration acd acknowledgments of the most stoical ; and he whose heart wonldfail to pulsate in confession of it, would deserve the support of no friends so noble and magnanimous as mine. But of all the events in my brief political career. I must be allowed to state that I regard the result of the canvass through which I have just passed as the most gratifying. I shall ever cherish the sixtv-nine maioritv winch T obtained in the late election, as a victory more henorabio, triumphant and signal, considering the cireumstanees under which it was obtained, the odds against me, by virtuo of the coalitions with which I had to contend. and the guerilla character of the warfare made upon me, as a more honorable and valuable testimony in mv m . . . 1 m m ' . tavor, man euner tne lour nunureu ana eighty-three I

obtained in 1847, or the seven hundred and seventy-three few exceptions. I think prospects are better for bustI obtained in 1849. I need not say to those aeouainted ! mi ih. hit tlmn Ui r

with the state of the political parties in this district, that, as arrainst a close coalition of Altolitionist, and Whigs, the Democrats are actually in a minority of several hundred votes. I think I shall hereafter, at my leisure, take occasion to review the canvass at length, my present purpose is only to apprise my friends that they have, at least, not bestowed their suffrages and support upon one insensible to the obligations tliey impose. In conclusion, I beg to tender again, as I have hitherto, to the old soldier, widows and orphans of the district, whatever aid I may be able 10 render them, gratuitously, in the prosecution of any claims they may have against their Government.

MONDAY EVENING, AUGUST 18, 1851.

Railroad Meeting. We were gratified to se many ol our most wealthy , and enterprising ciliren, in attendance at the Railroad meeting on Saturday. The meeting was addressed hy John S. Newman, Esq., the President of the Lastern Division of the Indiana Central Railway, extending from Indianapolis to the State line, five miles cast of Richmond. He exhibited a beautiful profile of the road, forty feet in lonth, executed by H. C. Moore, the Chief Engineer, who is a gentleman of skill and science in his profession. This road, when constructed, will be one of the handsomest road in the world. From Indianapolis to Kuightstown, a distance of 32 miles, it presents a line almost as straight as a surveyor's compass could make it. At that point there is a slight curve to the North, fr the nnn.os of avoiding the stceo IdutTs of Blue River pom tlonce to Ccntrcrille it is almost a direct line. The following ,s the estimated cost of grubbins, - ft grading and biidging tho road: Klom the State ino to Centrcvillc, 10 miles, $51,396 19 Cenlrev,0 to DabiiU) 114 miles, 117,973 82 From Dublin to Knightstown, 17 mile,,.. . 57,057 22 From Knightstown t Greenfield. 13 miles, 31,96s 36 yrom oreenficj to Indianapolis. 20 miles, 33,829 31 Tbe Indianapolis to the eastern State line is 71 4 miles. Of this distance, 6S miles is a ..traj.ral ij,,., passing throng! a country of unsurpassed f . fc M q Jl!livillion. Froill the State j line to Centrevill.- the work has been let on the most favorable terms, and the contractors aro prosecuting 0y. witu e,ier,y and success. From Cambridge j'tbeir jobs I with energy and succew. Kn;i, .niu hlstown the contracts have been partially let, and some of the contractors are at work. From Kniirhta. town to Greenfield the road has been let and the work is in a good state of forwardness. About one hundred and forty thousand dollars' worth of stock has already been subset ibed. Mr. Newman, the President, and Hears, dotier and Crum arc now in our city soliciting .!i!scripti'ns. Sam II re 11 to 11. The Newcastle " Courier" complains that we prefix to the name of this member of Congress elect the significant letters F S. The editor says: This is nniitst.

Brcnton was so much better a free sciler tlmn Borden that he secured the entire free soil vote. He called himself a whig, but he is just as much ei. titled to the name of wbis as Julian is to the name of democrat.

If they cctipy the same ground, then there must be a violation of pledges sunewhere. Wonder if Daniel Wurth and the Randolph and Grant count' whigs understood when they were voting for Mr. Brenton that they were supporting a warm friend of the administration? Valparaiso Observer. In alluding to this pappr, some time since, we staled that wo believed the editor was as honest man, but was mistaken in public sentiment in r. lation to the slavery question. He now frankly admits thnt ull his opposition to the thirt rnth article was unavailing, three-fourths of the votes in Porter county were in favor of exclusion ; and Iho editor thinks if t.ieic had been more agitation, he would have stood alone in the county. We now ask our fiiend to look at 'his vole throitah'Uit the State, and tell us frankly what he thinks of public sentiment in Indiana in relation to fugitive slaves. If the people will not permit them to come here, when regularly manumitted, will they countenance them as fugitives? Franking Privilege. Messrs. Lockhart, Parker, Hendricks, Davis, Mare and Brenton, who were not members of the last Congress, will bo entitled to the franking privilege when lliey recurve their certificates of election; and Mcssm. Alb-rteon, Julian, Brown, M'Gaughcy, M'Donald and Harlan, will be entitled to the same privilege until the meeting of Congress. New Mexico. Judge Watts, formerly of this State, has arrive-d in New Mexico. The Northern Distiict has been assigned him. The election for Delegate took place the first Monday in this month. The candidates, ere R. II. Weiobtman, Whig, and A. W. Reynolds, Deni'crat. Wc think that Maj. Weightmaa has been elected. He had the influence of Gov. Calhoun and (he United States officer. CT Cut.

It is the fourth daily pap.-r in that city. Valparaiso Obterctr. A mistake, Mr. Observer.

Wc clip the following from the Milwaukeo Wisconsin of tjje 13th inst.: Wheat Crop As any information in relation to the wheat crop at the present time is a matter of great interest, we give the following extract of a letter received this morning by one of our merchants, from an experienced farmer at Janesville, dated the 3d inst. He says: " If this rain does not cause the late Spring wheat to blight, it will be a fair crop. Farmers fear it much, but a few davs will tell. Winter wheat is (rood, with a wrv On the other hand, a subscriber write us from Burnett, in Dodge county, under date of the first inst.: " Wheat is nearly a total failure hereabouts.

Joe Lane is after them, and they will bo severely chastised for the act. O" We re pleased to learn that the eholera is rapidly abating at Louisville. There were but two new cases on Saturday.

Railroad IWeetiug. A mctir.g of tho citizens of Indianapolis was held at

I the Court House on Saturday ti.o 16;h inst., to take into j consideration the importance of completing the Eastern I Division of the Indiana Central Railway. Nicholas McCarty, Esq., was called "to the chair, and W.J. Brown appointed Secretary. The meetina was addressed by Jrhn S. Newman, Esi., the President, who made a full exposition of the . affairs of. the Company, and the prospects öf the compleI tion of the road. He exhibited a very beautiful pr-file Jof the survey, executed by H. C. Moore, the Chief Engineer. The meeting was then addressed by C. H.

Resolved, That these proceedings be published in the city paper, The meeting then adjourned. N McCARTY, President. W. J. Bhown, Sei ritary. Slock and .Money Market. The panic in the money market continues without much change. Money is ditfioolt to be had on any terms, and nothing whatever is doing in secui ities of new works. Stocks have receded rapidly for some davs past, and they are now at a lower price than they have touched for a long time. The prevailing opinion is that money will be c mparativi ly plenty aaiin in a few weeks. The stringency baa been owing chiefly to the actin of the banks in curtailing their discounts, with a view to check the exportation of specie. The result in the end will be salutary, though but little can bo said in favor of the Moaner in which business was almost instantly brought to a dead stand. If the issues of hanks were too large, they should have been curtailed gradually, to give time to prepare fat the alttred state of things. Should a check be put to our exportation, nf sold, the banks will immediately fall buch into their old habits. It is on the whole better tbato considerable pot tion of our California receipts should go abroad. If they all re-liiain-,il Bt buuae they would become the basis of a paper circulation, and the result would OB an enormous inflation of nur currency. A good reason for believing that there cannot be a permanent scarcity of money, is the general prosperity which prevails. Crop! are most abundant throughout the whole extent of our wide domain, and nearly every bran.-h of industry is meeting with pood returns. The receipts of :ll our railroads and caimls arc very rapidly increasing, while prices of stocks are cither slationaiy or rei eding, which is a very favorable feature. Rail Road Jt un al. (L7The diMc.it of Walls and Julian will cause a thrill o joy among all persons who have the yeac-.- and quiet of our count t v at heart. It shows un :isputably that the BeufM bI eastern Indiana, arc sincere iu their professions of devotion 10 iho (Jnäna that they arc tired of sectional disputes and jealousies that I hoy desire the compro. mises of rhe fcrnatttutiuu carried MSI und enforced in nod hit hi It shows also that our p.-ople desire to have the country enjoy a little rest and quiet that they want Congress to look after the intor s and welfare of the white man. and not s-.:.;iid another ten months in wrangling about the condition of negroes. They waul none of the scenes of the lit st session of the last Congress re-cinctcd ihcv want to see no more af bitter quarreling, or hurling of invective and reproaches, between the fanatics of, the N n th and South. The people have spoken, and their verdict is a righteous one. The agitators f the country's quid and prosperity, have leave t stay at home; while men vhOOt p ditical sympathies are OXtflnaive as our whole country who can preeive that the citizens of one section have the same political riohts under the. Const itulion, as thuaO of another, and who havo thu independence lo acknowledge and maintain this truth, are selected for Legislators. So may it ever be. Brookrille Democrat. Get Oct It will be remembered ihnt wo cave, a short time nvro, an account of a "slow railroad" iu ' Michigan. Here is another reminiscence from the same ! road, which we find in the Boston ''Carpet Bag:'' 'There is much excitement along the railroad, respecting Ihc killing and maiming of cattle; and one far- : mer, who had a valuable cow badly injured by a locomoI tive, after complaining about the matter and getting : grossly instilled by the employees on the road, told the ' engineer that the next time he came along he would giw ; him a thrar:inL'. which was laughed at. The next time 1 the "iron horse'' came snorting along by the farmer's beM0 the old fellow sallied out with a big bull-dog, and set him at the "bull gine." The dog caught hold of the eow-eaicher, held on. nnd stopped it, while the farmer licked t'ie engi'ieer! when, calling off his dog. he let the train go on again !" " I'll Cm 1. Arocvd and Pay." What a world o wo is contained in these low words to the poor artiz in and mechanic! " III call around and pay," says the rich man, to nvoid the trouble of going to his desk to get the necessary funds, nnd the poor mechanic is obliged to go home to disappoint his workmen and all w ho Oaonad upon him for their due. It is nn easy matter to wilrk, t he only real glory in this life is an Independent idea to be able to sustain yourself by the labor of your own hands, and it may be imagined what crushing force there is in " I'll call around and pay " to the laboring man who depends upon that pay for subsistence. If those who could pay, would pay at once, it would place hundreds and thousands in a condition to do likewise, and prevent much misery and distress. Cleveland (O.) rru.'d. Colt's Rf.volvf.ps. So great is the Philadelphia Bulletin, for these tho demand, says pistds. that three hundred men and over one hundred thousand dollars' vv'ii-tli of machinery cannot supply the demand. Fortv tbuMOad of these arms will be turned out ol ihc factory in Philadelphia during the present vear of 051, and still the supply will fall short of the demand. The demand for this arm is so great that Col. Colt will probably have one thousand men at work in a verv short time. More Whig Villainy The Offexper CaOOHT. The Memphis (Tciin.)

It appears that the alleged offender entered the room of a gentleman in the U. S. Hotel, and committed all sorts of depredations.

Hurra for the Com. promise, the Union and Fillmore. Campbell owes hi election to his thorough and hearty support of the Compromise ineasnic. and his open declaration that he was in favor af Mr. Fillmore's rc-elcc-lion to the Presidency. Had he manifested a willingness to support Gen. Scott in any contingency, be would havo licen dcfeated by thousands. Mkmberk or Congress Elect. Of the eleven members of Congress elect in Tennessee, six aro Democrats and live Whigs, as follow,: Andrew Johnson, George W. Jones, leboM G. Harris, F. P. Stanton, William H. Polk, und John H.

We shall publish their remarks, and Mr. Elder, as an offset, may carefully collect and publish all that hns been said on the opposite side of ihc question. We have seen liut one single paper, claiming to be Democratic, that manifests any regret at the result, and that is the Jcffersonian. We have not conversed with a single" Democrat who is not rcjoicetl nt the defeat of Julian, so thai if Mr. Elder is determined to quarrel with all the Democrats in the State who have rejoiced at tho defeat of Julian, he will have a heavy job on his hands. We do not believe that one-half of the Democrats who voted fur Julian, really desired his election. How could they do so, unless they were prepared to endorse his Abolition scnli" inents? Now. we advise Mr. Elder, and every Democrat who supported Nr. Julian, instead of making war on those who opposed his election, to make peuet-, and show hy their fruits that they arc woithy to lie culled Democrats. Let by-goncs he kjguana. ik long as they assail us for opposing the election of an Abolitionist to Congress, so long shall we repel their assaulls. Indiana Elections. The New York Tiibune concludes an article in relalion to the Indiana elections with ihc following consoling J remarks: With De Brohl, in the 1st district. Parker in tho 4th. ; and Brenton in the 10th, the whigs will hac three mem bers. McGaughey was the only w hig in the last delegation. Davis in the 7th and Mace in the 8th, two of the Locos elected, are claimed hy the Free Sollers as favorable to the repeal ol the Fugitive Slave Law, while the apathy among our friends in the remaining districts prevented any further gains. This will be news to the democrats in the Tcrre Haute and Lafayette Districts. If the free soilers consider the election of Davis and Mace a victory they are easily satisfied. Bellefontainc Kailroad. The stock Im!, lets and friends of this kjoportOOl link in the great chain of railway, stretching from the Atlantic through our city to the Mississippi, have every reason to congratulate themselves on the prospects of this work and its connections. We have conversed with Mr. Smith, the President'of the road, since his return from the cast, and he is of the opinion, that, not withstanding the stringency of the money market, and the difficulty of negotiating bonds for new works, or those of local or ; doubtful character, that the entire line from the Wabash to Sandusky, .Cleveland and Pittsburgh will be completed by the close of next year, if the local subscribers will do their duty. By the arrangement recently made by Mr. S., the mail is now carried daily on the cars to Anderson, supplying intermediate points, a distance of 36 miles, over a heavy T rail, and we learn from him, that part of the iron is at Madison, part at Cincinnati, and the rest between New York and Cincinnati coming forward, today the road from Anderson to Muneie. to which point, a distance of 51 miles, he expects to complete the road, and extend 'he daily mail by the first of November next; the track laying and gravelling will commence tarn week at Anderson. The subscribers, nnd those interested in this important woik, should now coma to the ; aid pi the Company, with all the means in their power, to insure ils completion with the least possible delay.

Money Matters. We have looked over the mor.i j ai tides of the East' ern press, and without attempting to give citiicr the entire articles, or even extract! from them, we may venture on this sensitive suojeet, to give what wc cousider thevphit of them all. It is evident that there has re' eently been a heavy depression in monetary matter, in onr Eastern cities, whieh stdl continue; this stringency iO our money empoiiums will necessarily extend itself in a greater or less degree to every part of the country. I( has already struck a heavy blow at our stocks, Railroad bouds, and other American sec ur lies, as well ns at Bank and individual monetary facilities. The effect of all this eems to be to email largely the discounts of tire Banks ; to make the commercial monetary matters vetf stringent; to bring down the best stocks to a safe cash,

j from a speculative value; 10 exclude or greatly reduce ! mere fancies; to arrest the sale of railroad Imuds for the I construction of mere local or new works, and to make it very difficult to negotiate at fair rates, bonds to purchase r.uls for works already in part constructed. How this state of things may continue, the lcst informed tan-r not more than give .m opinion. It may be all fur tho best. The great influx of gold from California gave tho Railroads and speculation spirit, an impetus that seemed likely to plunge the count iy into cmbarra-sments of ft serious character. The check this spirit will now re ccive w ill cause our people to look around and see u hero' they stand. Capital w ill be direc ted to its legitimate' object; new works thnt may be dispensed with for years, will be dropied for 1st present, those partly constructed, that the public demand, will lie completed. The annual crops of our enterprising citizens, will, in g few years, relieve them from embarrassment, and we may then again take up the line of march with increased power, for that high destiny that awaits us. Froai the Matlisoniau. Letter from General Lane. We are allowed to make the following cxtiact f;om a letter !nom G' tibial Joseph Lane, to a gentleman in this city: Oregon City, June 6, 1C5I. Dear Sir : I have been hard at work iu the I M home on the 23th af April last, and next day commenced the canvass for Delegat- to Congress, and was every day in the saddle until the day of election which was Monday last, and on that day I was one hundred and t venty miles from home. Dr. Wilson was put in nomination iu opposition to me, and warmly supported by his f iends. He is one of the early settlers in the territory, a clever gentleman, and good electioneer. The election U now over, and I am elected by over :.""; majority. I have received more than fourfifths of all the votes given in the territory, over one of the most popular men it. In a few days I shall s-t out lor the gold diggings in the southern portion of this territoiy, for the purpose of winding up some imsetrled business, and will then leave here (aliuul the first of OctoU'r) for Washington Citv ." Present my eompliinenrs to all friend, in Indiana, and ripmialft your good ladv and family. Your sincere friend. JOSEPH LANE. I'rcsidcn t ial Predictions. The following from the Newcastle Courier; proves that Grubbs ha been coiiiulting the stars in the political horizon. More unlikely things than his predictions have transpired : Tue. Next Pu 11 BO act A good ileal of speculation is indulged in ly the paper of ixilh parties, ;ls to who will be the nexi candidates for the piesi.lenev. On the part of the Whigs, it is generally ineede,f thai Scott will be the candidate. A sufficient number of States have already declared in his favor to insure his nomiuaJSOa, and It may be set down rs n fixed fa. t that Old Chippewa will he in the field if he lives. On the other side, there is more room f r speculation. Cass has many friend,, but be will not be the candidate. Nol lo.ig agu Houston st ek stood highest in the market, but it has suffered a slight depreciation, and Douglas, of Illinois, now appears to be decidedly the favorite. He belongs to the ' Young Demcracv,' is a u Northern man with nio.-t decidedly Southern piineiples." and would niake a strong candidate. The South uill not give Cass up without a struggle, but failing with him. will fall upon Houston, and finally upon Douglass. This is our opinion, from present indications, that Scott and Douglass will be the candidates for the next presidency. Bloom-! i-m Settled. We think the last objection of Mrs. Swisshelm is an annihila'.or to Bloomerim. In addition to her other objections to the Blooniir costume, she adduces the following. It is overwhelming: " Trowscrs worn without resting upon the shoulders are much worse than skirts, because ol the strain in sitting; and this strain is much greater with women than men, on account of the difference in their form. In stooping far enough to lift a thimble Iron, the carpet, or to pluck a daisy, iu a skirt six inches below the knee, the front pait of the drapery falls to the top of the foot, and the back part rises some eight or ten in.-he above the knee, thus exposing ihc front part of the underskirts almost to the waist. Il one avoids the st, .oping po&uion by 'squatting,' there must be a constant care and use of the hands to insure that the skirts do not lodge on the knees, but fall over. It they do not, one may exhibit her trowscrs to the waist ; and when a woman exhibits her form with no elhcr covering than trowscrs, we do not want to bo there." From the Slem New. Cholera. Aicf,i 14. After a respite of nearly one week, and when wo thought ourselves comparatively safe, tins appaling disease again appears in our midst, scattering death and destruction in our happy and peaceful town. Ycsrorday afternoon, four fersons were attacked and all died during the night and early this morning; to wit: Mrs. Eliza, consort of Hiram B. Malott; Samuel Day, child of A. Harris, and a colored man by the name of Baldwin. Up to thi, hour, 8 o'clock, a. m.. wc hear f one new case, a colored woman in the west part of town. The atmosphere is unlavorable, being damp, heavy and very oppressive. This season, our citizens generally have keen very negligent about cleansing and liming their premises, which in a great degree uccounls for tho calamity which has befallen us. Will we uever take warning and profit by experience? 12 o'clock, m.
