At is next session it is expected to pas one declaring its opposition to Noah's flo d Cleveland Herald. How does Scott stand on Noah's flood I Does be think it was much of a shower ? On the United States Bank be says he has " lonj been under m conviction that in peace, as iu war, something efficient in the nature of a bank of the United Statt, is not only necessary and pro -er , but indispensible to the successful operation of the Treasury, as well as to many of the wants of our com merce and currency." 8 The Whig presses and politicians know that tbey cannot elect Gen. Scott nnless they are aided by the free soil voters at the North. On this subject the Lowell American. (Free Soil) gives the following piece of coid comfort. " Let oot our Whis friends delude themselves, however, with the idea that we'or our party intend to give them the slightest ''aid and comfort." As mnch as we respect opn manline-s so, in the same proportion, do we despise treachery and long faced, pbarasaical hypo crisy. So be it " tT A Pierce and King ratification meeting was held in Cawfordville on the 12th int Tbe Review says : " The Court House was well filled, and the best spirit prevailed. Excellent speeches were madefy Mr McDonald, Lewis Wallace, and Mr. Ellis of tie Lafavette Curier, and by our old friend, Jesse MoAllister of Franklin township.

I For tbe Daily Indiana State Sentinel. Indian vpolis, June 21, 1852. Austin H. Bkown, Esq.: Justice requires that I should correct an editorial statement made in tbis morning's paper. In the case of the United States vs. James S. Hester, on indictment for forgery, the defen lent, by his counsel, moved to quash the indictment on two grounds: 1st. Tht.i the case was barred by the statute of limitations." 2d. "That the Administrator, and not the widow or heir, had '.he right to draw the money and that therefore the payment by the disbursing agent was a voluntary payment, and would not be recognized by the government and so, an indictment would not lie for attempting to defraud the government." The court quashed the indictment on the first ground, remarking that there was nothing in the second point. As to the residue of the statament that "tbe general expression of public sentiment, and especially of the Senate, is that the indictment was procured by efforts of enemies," no such expression has been made, nor is there any evidence that community is greaiiy satisfied. Your friend,

J. L. KETCH We rtceived the above communication on Monday. Mr. Ketcham, we understand, was one of the prosecuting attorneys in the case. Wo find, upon inquiry, that the indictment was quashed upon tbe first ground as stated above. The second ground is. inadvertently, we Mippose, mis-stated by Mr. Ketcham. That point, as made by Mr. Hester's counsel, was, "That a forgery could not be predicated on the instru ment set forth in the indictment; the application to the government appeared, by the indictment, to have been made by the widow: and there was no law granting to .... r , , the widow atrearagetof pay. z-k ..... , i . i On this point the court remarked not that there was ( if . - nothing in il-bnt that May Had not looKed sumc.eniiy .l. t. . ...10 w. maner ,o come 10 an, conclusion ,i w. no, necessary, they said, to decide the latter question, as tbe other, in their minds, was a clear one, and they woiiiu oeoound to ten ttiejury, on the trial, that they iii-. ..-.i... .... . i nlil.f Innli.l t . Our informant iu relation to quashing the indictment lor want of a cause of action, was misled by hearing Judge Huntington make a remark to the effect that there was no cause of action to sustain the indictment, and by he universally expressed opinion of the Senators, both Whigs and Democrats that the indictment was p.ocured rom malignant personal motives alone. Mr. Hester was willing to waive the fiisi p.iint made by his counsel, and parmit the case tn go to trial on its merits alone, but the second point he ooull not waive As no indictment could be sustained on a forgery of he instrument alleged tobeforgod, there was, therefore, n fact, no cause of action Mr Ketcham plumply denies our statement, 'the general expression of public sentiment, and espe cially of the Senate, is that the indictment was procured by the efforts of enemies " So far as the Senate is couoerned, we know positively that such was the universal sentiment, and as an evidence of it, a few days before the aujournuiciii every .enaioi-, wiiu out a single exception, 1 ' L en m . a a . a recommended Mr. Hester for the ottiee of commissioner o superintend the publication of tho revised statutea-an mportant and honorable station which he has since ree.eo. so tar as public sentiment is concerns, the only opinions adverse to those we have stated have - i n e . . - - . come irom two or tiireo person who nave peiiiiuieu r -.i a i . personal resentments to blunt their sense o ,ustiee, and blind them to facts as they exist. Our impartial statement of Monday was a voluntary j one made withont Mr. Hester's knowledge, and with ut any consultation with him. It is substantially cor rect, tbe opinions of a few to the contrary notwuhtamlintr. The foregoing was in type for yesterday's paper, but was crowded out. Since then, we have received tbe , following communication in relation to the milter Irom Mr. Hester llllllsuJ I : I A1M A i,.l TUL13. JI1IIC , IM. Mr. Editor-I learned this evening that Mr. J. L, Ketcham, of this eity, had left for publication, in the Sentinel office, a communication denying tho truth of your editorial remarks touching the termination of the J n prosecution ol the I . S. v. myself. 1 hat editorial was wr.tten without my knowledge or consent. But its statements are substantially true. The case was disposed of on a meticn to quash. Two points were urged by my attorney the statute of limita tions and tho insufficiency or tho instrument upon which the indictment was predicated, the law requiring ar rearages of pay to be paid to tho personal representative and the indictment charging the application to have been made by tho widow in her personal capacity. Mr. Ketuliam atiueareJ as an altoi nev asrainst me.

FRIDAY MORNING, JUNE 5, 1852.

The Revised Statutes of 1852. III.-LAWS REGULATING THE 80CIAL RELATIONS. The law of Guardian and Ward is not materially changed, except in this, that the obligations and restric tions imposed upon the guardian are, in their general character, more stringent than under the old law, and that the rights of the ward are thus mora carefully guarded and better secured In the law of Master and Apprentice there is no change of sufficient importance to merit notice. The new law of Divoaci follows, in prinoiplo, the old law of 1S43, as modified by several successive statutes, permitting divorce, among other usual causes, for the following also " Abandonment for one year, or for a less period, if me court snail ue satistieu, that reconeii.auon is ns probable ; ' and for .1 i .-a a .1 - natmuai drunkenness o either party; or lauure oi the husband to make reas nable provision lor his lam il v There i s . however one new nrovision in this law. It , , is that which seenr-s to th wif if ,h have ,usf causa of divorce, the pecuniary means of prosecuting her suit; It hoiniT nrovided that ihe f'onrt mnv issue "Such orders or j - It ll dm i . t relative to me expeases ot suit as win insure to ine wite an emcient preparation ol her case ana a lair anu ""' impartial trial thereof , and, on decreeing a divorce in favor of the wife, or refusing one on the application of -- the husband, the Court shall, bv order, lobe enforced l .. ,:. ,u. hnslmnd to nv all reason.

The now provision is, that " The husband shall be liable for the debts and liabil ities of the wife, contracted before marriage, to th ex fnr of the personal property he may receivs with or i through her oi derive from the sale or rent of he lands.' anj no farther.'' ,, s , ijaD;i:,v 0, tne husband ehall not be exliniruish . , . , th f if ;, ed by the death of the wife' The lands of tho wife are, of course, also liable.

SATURDAY MORNING, JUNE 8, 185.

Whig Arguments. Prentice, of the Louisville Journal, who has all along pretended to be friendly to the nomination of Fillmore, but who at heart has alwavs been for Scott, opens the .... , campaign with the following arguments: " And now, fellow Whigs, ye, who have upborne your X'onous uaniici 101 tue lasi uuinci ui a icmuii, ai"uc , , , . .

Who is Wintield Scott. The nomination of Gen.

Gen. Scott's fame is purely military. He never held a civil office in Ins life. If his election is to be the return to the "heroic age" then are we l lok to West Point for our future Statesmen and Pres ident. The sword and the plume arc to be the passports ; to office. The spirit of war and strife mnst be encour ; aged, or the "heroic ageu will expire, and smiling peace, with civilians bred in schools of Statesmen, or.ee more , ft 1 1 the public offices as they were wont to do in the better and purer days of the republic O" The New York Tribune is out against conventions. He gives a very graphic description of the last Whig . - - C L : .1 C 11 ' - .. couvoimon, irom which we copy me lonowmg caithci : " Many honorable and eminent men have been deputed by the Whigs of the several Statesand Districts to meet at Baltimore and select a Whig candidate for President. Along with these are some of a different character, who have begged or intrigued for an appointment in the hope of making something out of it men brnkrupt in fa tics, in business and iu reputation." This ia no doubt a true picture.

"Joa .aiie, is nign praise, oi winch any man, however elea ted, might justly be proud. Washington, June 8th 182. Dear Sir: Your very kind letter of yesterday was duly received. Your request that I should famish the details of such information as I may possess relative to the millitary services of Gen. Pierce in the Mexican war, lequirea me to state, that I bad not the pleasure of being with Gen Pierco in any of the battles in which be so gallantly and deservedly won the reputation of a good soldier, a good General, a patriot, and a hero. The concurrent testimony ol Generals Scott. Worth, Shields, Quitman, and Pillow, so replete with commendations of his merit as an officer and soldier, and so abundantly found in tbeir official reports, are certainly the most ample testimonials in his lavor; and it is with peculiar pleasure that I add my humble evidence to their just and lepeated tributes to his valor and his worth. His judges and compeers were and are illustrious, impartial and profound. The brightest judges of bis country's history are the records of his gallant service and of his glorious fame. His companions in arms, both officers and men, spoke proidly of him as a noble General, a brave and good man. At a later period, while in Mexico, I had the honor of a personal acquaintance with Gen. Pierce, and can truly say, that in every respect, I found him worthily sustaining my most favorable opinions, and commanding my profound respect and admiration. I concur with you in the expression of belief, that Gen. PierPe is destined to be the next Chief Magistrate of the Nation, from a conviction that the nomination is as good a one as could have been made that tbe wisdom of the people, under the guidance of a superintend -Providence, will induce them to unite in support oi Democratic principles and that they will triumphan'iy elevate their worthy candidate to the Presidency. I am, sir, with great respect, Your ohedient servant, JOSEPH LANE A. J. Glossbrenner, Esq. T , , - . r - . ' (For tbe Indians State Sentinel. Messrs. Editors Please announce tbe name oi tha Hon.

Editor of the Sentinel: In looking over the columns of your paper we find two communications in reference to candidates for the office of Representative of Mai ion county.
