Below will b ! found the letter of Col. John W. Forney, which effectually nails to the counter the infamous I'.iU ! n . 1 .f the editor of the Lafayette Courier. We arc now done with the subject: Washington, Nov. 17, 1852. My Dear Sin: lam the only member of the National Executive Committee, appointed by the last $f itioual Democratic Convention, now in Washington; and I have waited far tbe others to arrive, or I would have replied nt dsn to your letter. I must send my own statement, as they are still absent. That you ever received S3 500 from that committee, for services rendered in 1 lie late campaign, or any sum of money, I know to b.- 111 lerly nd basely untrue. Eminent as your services nave been, and clleelive as tbey have been, oar committer had nothing to giva you but applause and thanks. Besides, the National Committee 01 the Democratic party had no corruption fund. Like many other committees, we had little money to spend, and what we had was appropriated to documents. I speak of what I know whan 1 say that not one dollar of th.it money, or of any money disbursed by the committee, was placed in vour hands. Yours, very truly, JNO. W. FORNEY. Hon W. J. Brown. Practice in the Circuit Court. are requested to state the following points of We 1 t , rf-i . r . l: I practice unilorm.y pursued in the Circuit Court, of this j county, for the information of parties. Counsel practising in the com t are presumed to understand them. 1st. The Court iever extends a favor to any party, or person, but adjudges to all their right. 2d. No oause is displaced, or postponed by order of the Court. 3d. Parties, by agreement, may pass or postpone a ease, called in its order. 4th. When no cause stands on the docket in order, for trial, the time then being, auy passed or postponed cause may ! 1 ii up by either party; Or alter the entire docket has been called through, either p uty may call up a passed or postponed cause: And if in either ease several causes be called up, tbai which is prior upon the docket will have lue preference, as to being taken up. 5th. A causv "uee passed or postponed can be taken up no otherwise lhan is above prescribed, lest the rights of parlies who are ready when their cause is called in its order be prejudiced thereby. 61I1 A cause euniioi be postponed or passed at the 1111 nice ol one nartv , extent for leifal cause shown.) but only on tbe aeement of both. But a cause which 1 has been p issed 01 postponed may called up. at proper limes, as above presoiibod, by either party. 7lb. A po.tpomiicnt of a cause to a future day will be rc I., il 1 I ir 1 '0111 ' a an agreement of tin- HM ties that it the c iusc be called before that day, it shall be passed, and stand among the postponed causes, and no otherwise.

The following is an extract of a letter from Wesley Shannon, Esq., who resides near Salem, Oregon, to Hon . James P. Milliken, of Dearborn county. Indiana: SALEM, MARION Co., O. T., Sept. 7, 1852. DEAR SIR:— Our crops have yielded remarkably well. I measured my wheat and ground, and found I had a return of 53 bushels per acre. This was on summer fallow deeply plowed This fully verifies what I wrote in my letter to you last winter. Other grains, also, yielded well. Vegetables done very fine. Wheat is selling at $2 per bushel. Milch cows from $50 to $100, according to quality. Other things at corresponding prices. The emigration is getting in slowly. Their stock looks much jaded. The first trains looked well, and the families were in good health and fine spirits. And here let me urge again, what I have so often done heretofore, for emigrants to start early in the spring. One week in the start will make four in the outcome. Companes in the rear are sure to meet with rain and snow storms in the Cascade mountains—(the animals always very feeble at the end of the journey ). They are sure to sustain heavy losses. If I was in either Indiana or Illinois, I would start by the first of March. I would travel slowly through the States to the frontier, then I would procure oats for my horses, would feed them a little until I got on Platt [sic] river, or as long as I had oats. By that time there would be plenty of grass; then, by using industry in traveling, the trip would soon be over without any loss of valuable stock or other property, or risk or property, and all would be well. Respectfully, WESLEY SHANNON. Hon. J. P. MILLIKEN. ----- Penetrating Africa. It is reported that the Government at Washington had completed arrangementa for dispatching an exploring expedition to Central Africa, with a view of finding a healthy position some place inland, fit for the purpose of colonization. The command and entire management of the expedition is entrusted to Commodore Linch, of the Navy, whose exploration of the Dead Sea. and the book of details, created so much interest in tbe literary world a snort time ago.

Hood I arming in Indiana. Eos. O. Colt. It may interest some of your readers lu learn how some of tbe best farms are managed in Indiana. Re inn a stranger in the Stale anal aaxi jus t gain what information I can of this kind, I avail myself of every opportunity for obtaining facts. A short time since I had occasion to call on Mr. Hiram Iiacon, about six miles from Indmunpott , and after concluding our husiuess, I drew from him (he following facts in regard to his farming Operation: Mr. B. is a native of Massachusetts, came in Ibis State in 1822 and local d in Washington townshi. Marion county, where he now resides. His farm contains 350 acres 200 of it under cultivation, upon which he has 6 working horses, 25 milch cows, 100 hogs, 25 head of young catile and 60 sheep.

Mr. B. is a teientiße as well as a practical farmer, and avails himself of every facility for conducting hi farm economically. I noticed under his shed one of Emory's two-horse railroad powers, which runs his ton sheller, und 11 cross-cut saw for culling fire wood, pumps the water for his stock, and is intended to drive a corn and cob null and a straw cutter. He also has an eighthorse power threshing machine, which at harvest passes over the field from shock to shock, thrashing and cleaning the grain as tbe machine moves on. Also, wheat drili, cultivators, Sec., and Densmorc's patent self-raking reaping machine, with which he cut all his own wheal, and that of several neighbors, and it performed, he said, to the eniire satisfaction of all who witnessed it. Respectfully, Jcc., J. O. WILLSEA. Indianapolis, 1852. Harboring Fugitive Slaves. A case has recently been tried before tbe United States Circuit Court in Phnasylvania, involving a construction of the Fugitive Slave law that will interest most of our readers. Oliver and others of Maryland, sued Kaufman of Pennsylvania, for harboring and concealing thirteen fugitive slaves, and recevered a verdict for $2,800 damages. Judge Gricr, in giving the ease to the jury, declared that the Fugitive act did not prcvide for punishing mere acts of kindness to the fugitive. Tbe "harboring" punished under the act of Congress must iaclude the design of encouraging the slave in his escape from his owner or master, and to impede and frustrate his elTorts to reclaim him. The Jude said: "It is loo plain for argument that this act does not .1 . t . 11 ' 1 11 u : .. - t .. . . . l . , mii'itu u 111 11.' ti'iiiiuuii u 11 .11 u vi line, ui ii 'rial I mau as guiltv of an ofleiise against his neighbor, who I merely jrnishes food, lodging, or raiment to the ban1 gry, weary, or naked wanderer, though he be an ap1 prentiee or a slave. On the contrary, it contemplates j a I only an escape of the slave, but the intenticn of the ! master to reclaim him. It points out ihe mode in which this reclamation is to be made, and it is lor an unlawful interference or hindrance of this right of reclamation, secured to tbe master by the constitution and laws, that this action is given. The harboring made criminal by this act, then, requires some other ingredi ent besides a mere kindness or charity rendered to the fugitive. The intention or purpose whih accompanies the act must be to enoourac the lucitive in his der . : --- tion of his mter to fnrthcr hj8 etCmne, aml ami frustrate his reclamation. 'This act must evince an intention to elude the vigilance of the master, and be calculated to obtain the object." "2 McLean, 608. ( tiban Slnve Trade. The annexation of Cuba to this conntiy would rosult in one great good if nothing more; the infauioes slave trade which is regarded as worse than piracy, by nil christian nations, would bo ul once and forever annihila ted, l'lieic is not perhaps in the w.nld a p. int wheie 11 is more openly carried en than in Cuba. Cargoes of human !eiiigs arc constantly brought to all the horrors of the "middle passage," and the govri nincnt ol Spain sulleis it to go on without notice, molestation or rebnke. An eminent American who rcsid' s at Havana, and who has for years noticed and bewailed this 11. unliable traffic, wiitcs as I Hows in rogard to it: "The slave trade is carried on in this Island, under the very noses of the authorities with the greatest im punity large sums ol money being received, and nil the proceedings conducted in the most open manner ;:tnd hen I think of the enormous sums f nioiiev w hich is i said was paid by the British Government to thai of.

On Saturday last this formidable unemy to human ex ist'-nee made it re-appearance iu this place. Tie first victim was Felix Parker, Esq. He was ni lucked nboiit II o'clock on Saturday night, and died about 11 , . ek on Sunday morning. Several other cases, pronounced cholera, have since occurred ; of winch two proved lutal 00 Monday night the other patients are convalescent. Mr. Mo, ton, clerk in the bouse of Messrs. Robinson ft Keith, died on Monday about 4 o'clock in (be afternoon . and Mr Krsey, long a clcik in the house of the late Mr. At wood, died about 10 o'clock at night. Mr. Morion bad leen bnt a few days here; came Iron, Louisville, as we learn. P. 8. Since the foregoing was in type, another death baa occurred. Southern (A'y.) Ar gut Annexation. The New York Times (Whig) touches the Cuban matter delicately a follows: .

New York Election. Tbe Albany Argus, of the 18th, has the official returns from all the counties in the State save the city of New York, which is unofficially reported, and the Democratic majorities arc as follows: Pierce over Scott, ..27,345 Seymour over Hunt, 21.810 Church over Kent, 14,188 Fallet over Kempshall, 20,596 Clark over Crosby, 26,564 General Pierce has ohtarned the largest majority New York ever gave to any candidate at a contested election, with the exception of 1S3.I, when Van Buren obtained 28,000 majority over Harrison. The entire popular vote is immense, and exceeds any that was ever before cast in the State by thousands, and will reach a full half million.

A Rich Spot. On Sandy Rar, of Mokelumna river, California, it lately leaked out that a company of ten persons bad been taking nut some three or four thousand dollars per diem fr sever;, I weeks past, and that finally they had struck a lend Irom whence they obtained one hundred and iwentv pounds of clean scale dust in one day Subsequent accounts from tiic bar substantiated the former rcpSTls, but astonishing as it may appear, averred that, instead of the enormous amount above stated, the actual proceeds of that one day's labor was one hundred and fifty-one poundt! Placing clean fiver dust at a value of $17 ier ounce, which we believe a low price, the amount would be $41,072. Srnnr.N Death in tub Pulpit. On Saturday evens' I week, the congregation at tbe Wesleyan Chapel, Nerton, Cattaraugus county, was thrown into great excitement by tho alarming and sudden demise of Mr. James Calvert, of Heislington, whilst reading the beautiful parable given in the 15th chapter of St, Luke's gospel They were listening with the deepest attention, evidently moved with the simple ami forcible passages of Scripture contained in the chapter in question, when, after uttering the words "I will rise and go to my " the preacher exclaimed, "Oh! my dear friends!" and fell down in the pulpit and almost immediately expired. ft, Y. Sun. The Australian Mines. Theraines in California, when Suiter's mill became moro famous than the stories of romance, were not more prolific than those newly discovered in Australia. An escort from the mines to Sidney brought 81,000 ounces; the second week brought 100.000 ounces; the third week 120,000; in all, 301,100 ounces in three weeks, of value 3 10s per ounce, is one million and seventy-four thousand pounds sterling! Labor is higher tban ever; seamen's wages from 8 to 12 per month ; servants are not to be had . Every one seems to be getting wealthy. There are several ship loads for Loudon detained for want of bands, and offering them 7 per month, in uddition to n bonus of 50 each. Feeding Sheep with other Stock. Sheep should noi run or be fed, ia yardi, with any other stock. Cattic hook them, often mortally, Colts tease and frequently injure them. It is often said that "colts will pick op what sheep leave." Wellmanaged sheep rarely leave anything and if they chance to, it is better to rake it un and llnow it into the cults' vnrd. than to le d them together.

We published a few days ago an article from tho New York Journal of Commerce, in opposition to the attempt of certain money shaver, who are now establishing bauHs undtfi the Free Hanking laws M the Western States, to make the notes of these institutions redeem able in the city of New York, and thereby create, and thereby creato, far the time being, a credit which may put them into circulation. We copy the following from tho money article of the same paper of the 20th inst. 'It will lie remembered thai we noticed, a day or two since, a statement in a cotempornry to the eltcct thai an arrangement hud been concluded between ihv Bank of the Republic and about thirty of the new banks of circulation located in the far West, by which the former would 1 eeeive the bills of the latter on deposit , und thus give currency to a circulation uunutlioi ixed by our laws, und intended as a tax upon the people of this city. Wu denied that such an arrangement had been made, and expressed our conviction that it would not In?, and we ure clnd lo And this verified. Such a proposit ion has been submitted to the Bank of ihe Republic, bul that very lespcclable institution refused to accede to it, and we doubt if auy legitimate banking institution in this city can be brought to favor a measure so manifestly at war with the good of the cemmunity. If any of the now banks recuntly formed, for want of a reeulai busiteas, should thus consent to b -made the catspaw of parties whose only object is to bust upon the community a depreciated paper currency, we do not believe they would he sustained in it by the institutions here, doing a legitimate banking business. The intended operation of the scheme is very transparent Let any respectable city bank give its endoiaement 10 the notes of these thirty banks of circulation, by receiving them on deposit, and ibe latter would be enabled to distribute throiii.'hoiit this community and the adjacent country, say $300,000 of their promises to pay; then the ar nngement with the endorser could be broken oil', and the holders o this rag currency le't to the tender mercy of their owners, towit, the note shavers. If any poor man objected to the shave .raposcd. say 2 per cent , (or 10 per cent in case of panic,) his only remedy wonld be an application at the counter of an institution located on Lkc, Michigan or the Mississippi River. If any of our readeis are ambitious to sec a currency of this description imposed upon this oommnniiy, they can encourage the scheme, but we must protest against it." fTTne New Orleans Delta says; " The Democrats can no longer be called the Dirty Shirt Party, as, iu the good old days of Nicholas Diddle and his Monster, it was fashionable to designate them. By the tune ihey have their bets nil in, they will be the beat dressed ant of fellows in tho city. Already you may distinguish them by the new and fashionable tilos which they sport." The same remaik will apply to our Democratic frienda in this city. They all wear flne cloihes nowadays, the editor of the Sentinel excepted (LTA proposition is before the South Carolina Legislature 'o change the mode of electing electors for President and Vice President of the United States, from the Legislature to the People. The Charleston Mereary, the leading paper in the State, is opposed to the proposition. South Caiolina ia the only 8tate that elects the Electors by joint vote of the two Houses. Cool. The Buffalo Commercial, (Whig) in an article ol somo length, deprecates the system of removals from office established by Gen Jackson, and recommends Gen. Pierce to follow the examples of Gen.

How Beautiful it in for Brethren to Dwell together iu Unity Hear how the Albany New York Register, Mr. Fillmore's organ, speaks of Horace Greeley : The Whig party Ins eterywheie lost ground in consequnce of the detestable pranks of Gieeley during the most important canvasses, and suflT-rcit almost immea stirably in character in consqueiue of his connection with it. Tbe Tribune says: "If the Register lias a telescope of sufficient power to discover the late Whig pi ty . he may perhaps he good enoogh to tell us 'vhether legsliEc.l Rum-si lling and Slavery Extension are among its principles If tbey are, we don't berong to it."

Whether they are or are not. we trust the Tribune will no loncer bang upon the skirts of the party. It is , worse than a pestilence. It eaeerly mounts every wild ism ol trw day no matter what their character, or how odious soever their features may chance to be and rides them into the Whig party, making side issues, and spreading confusion 111 its ranks: and when t ley have performed their offices for evil, and been proved impracticable, their hair-brained rider thtows somersets from their bncks, und leaves those who have been onrsed by them to get rid of them as best they may. -It will be a day of rejoicing when Greeley formally rids the Whig party of his presence, and leaves it forever. He will leave it only for its good What little service he has ever been to the party and in the earlier days of his career he did do it "some service," for which he received his full reward lias been swallowed up in the black depths of Abolitionism, Socialism, and forty oihet isms of like character. He is without the power to do tho partv any possible good now, except by mak ing his exodas from it. Our impression is that he has ' made up his mind to depart, for he is now busy in laying the foundations of a Northern Seward Abolition Party, and gib hei a glibly already of "the late Whip party. ' , 1 Iron. There has boon a sudden and unexpected rise in the price of Iron. Tbe Pittsburgh Post, mentions that pig iron, has been sold as high as $4j a ton, and adds: Some of our iron men have made "ind pendent fortunes" by the recent rise in pig metal. We have heard ol gentlemen who have made by the advance, $25,000, otheis $50,000, others $100,000, others $150,000 and so oh. This is certainly extraordinary lack. Tbe iron trade is also very prosperous. Contracts for railroad iron have keen mnde, we understand, at the Great Western Works, a I $63 per tun. Bar iron had gieatly advanced, and sales of No. 24 ami No 26 sheet iron, have been made at 5 cents per pound, which is an ad van of 1 oent per pound, within the last few days. The Australian Mine;. They are no bubble, or nine day's wonder, as those of Calilornia, when first discovered, weie generally supposed to be, 00 this side ol our continent. The advices from Sidney, the principal town in Australia, as late as to tho 14th August, represent that the yield of gold still continued to be enormous. In the week ending the 7th of August, tipTrard of one liundreAl and sixty thousand ounces passed through tbe treasury, of which about one-third was the prodnoo of tho week, and two-thirds accumulations for want of conveyance on former occasions. Several thousands of miners had reached Adelaide, on their return from ihe diggings, with abundance of gold. From thu accounts they gave ol their individual earnings, it was estimated that, out of every one hundred men, during lour mouths' work, fifiy had obtained 100, twenty -five had 200, fifteen had 250, four had 300, three had 500, and the remaining three 1,000 each.

Jebn W. Foraey. The Democrats of Washington City had a grand ce.ebration on Thursday evening, the 11th iaat.. in honor of the great victory of the second of Noverr.ber A most, eloquent and patriotic address was delivered by Col John W. Forney. in which the causes and consequencea of the glorious event weie ably set forth, and the greaL future of our country, under Democratic rule, glowing lv depictcd. No living man has contributed more to the. ascendancy and triumph of Democratic principles than Cid Forney. His indefatigable and giant labors witli the editorial pea, and on the stump, hare won him last ing gratitude from the Democratic masses throughout the nation, and his voice is now most appropnuN v raised at the Capitol, to swell the shouts of a victorious

people Long life, and a glorious career to this noble. young champion, say we. In our next we will publish the eloqnent speech of this gentleman. Cmmden JV. J. Democrat. Mr. Webster's Prediction. 1 he prophecy of Mr. Webster, whilst on his death bed, that "alter the 2d of November, 1852, ihe Whie party, as a national pariv. will exist oaiy in history ." is receiving its verification every day. In a recent speech at Worcester, Massachusetts . Judge Washburn, a leading Whig, is reported iu tha Spy as saying, in view of Scott's defeat, that "the Whig banner would now be found in the van fighting against the accursed system of slavery." This is the prevailing sentiment of the Scott Whigs everywhere at the North. They are, from nasociation, no-iii- an :. we may sav education as partisans not only prepared, but ready to merge with abolitionism Him us Kinuremsms, an to become scctionatizcu 01 niggerized. There is no national ground on which they cau stand together with their Whig brethren aC the South. Asa sectioaal or State party only can tke Whigs rally or exist anywhere. A national Whig party is an obsolete idea. Jlbany Jrgnt. Bank Biel Holckks' Lieu. Tbe new Constitution of Louisiana, just adopted by the people, provides that in case of the insolvency of any bank or banking association, the bill holders thereof shall he entitled In preference in payment over all other creditors of su b bank or association. This is what may be called Bill-holders' lieu, and is one of the most just provisio. s ever made to curb the monopolizing and soulless banks of our oountry. If by law, bank notes are made a currency, the law should protect their holders, over all other claimants on the assetts In case of bankruptcy. We trust our legislators will have an eye to this important provision.—<Philadelphia Sun>. ----- Oregon. The news from Oregon is up to the 9th ult. We have distressing accounts of the destitution and suffering among the emigrants over the plains. The arrivals are of daily occurrence, and they bring with them afflicting details of the sufferings of those they have left behind them. The people are endeavoring to send out relief to them, but it is to be feared that many must perish.— <Louisville Democrat>. ----- THE BETTER HALF.— A lady of Mercer county, although her busband was a Whig, kept a Pierce and King flag flying during the canvas. Some rwdv Whigs did themselves he honor to cut down the pole from which the flag floated; but she only had another raised, still higher, and kept the flag floating to the breeze. Her husband gallantly aided his better ball! in n the bnsiness, but voted for Scott Dayimn Whig. ETTbe Jackson.
