HOW IT WORKS.

The commotion which prevailed in certain quarters since the publication of our last paper would,seem to indicate that the despicable’and contemptible course pursued by our servile Auditor, in sending the Delinquent List oat of the County, lest ■ we should be benefited by its publication, is far from meeting the approbation of the Fusionists generally. They do not seem willing to sanction an act which they cannot but regard as contemptible in itself, and which they know has been done at the behest of a few of their Black Republican allies, and for the gratification of the most ignoble feelings. The penurious policy urged by the Auditor as a plea of justification is too shallow’. The citizens of Jasper county are too magnanimous to listen to such an apology. They will not fail to put a right estimate upon a man whose first official act is characterized by such unparalleled meanness. We regret that we are compelled to "speak thus of one of whom” wb desired to entertain a better opinion, it would have been more in accordance with our feelings to have spoken of him with respect and approbation; but his alacrity to prostitute his office and yield himself a ready instrument to others for the purpose •of injuring us, without any provocation whatever, places it beyond our power to do so.

DCpAmong our new advertisements will be found a call for a Rail Road meeting. We advise our citizens to abandon this project, for the -present at least, and go in for an Un-der-Ground Rail Road. We believe that work, if not capital, could be profitably invested in the construction of such a road. The rolling material would not be difficult to procure. A Beautiful Simile. —A plain unschooled man, who had received his education principally beneath the open sky, in the field or forest, and who had wielded the axe more than the pen, while speaking of children remarked with true and beautiful simplicity: “The little est the heart.” CCr*S. C. Chandler will deliver a series of lectures at the Court House, commencing on next Sunday, Dec. 2nd, at the Visual hours of meeting. Subject, “an impartial examination of the Bible and thef Christian system.”— The public are invited to attend. OCpOur Devil, the other day, astounded us by the following query: Why are a certain clique, in this place, like a pugilist? Because they make use of knocks -(Knox) to injure their enemy. Liberal Donation .—We learn from a correspondent, that W. H. Derby, the celebrated publisher, has donated to the Athenean Society of the Indiana University, Bloomington, fifteen hundred dollars in books, to be selected from his catalogue.— LaPorte Times. CCTCan any of our cotemporaries inform us whether W. B. Sloan is still doing business in Chicago? We have written him several times on business lately, but can’t hear from him. Hope he’s not stopped payment.”-- Delphi Journal. We are in the same category. We are of the opinion that he has sloped.

■ Morocco, Jasper, Co, Ind., ) Nov, 27‘, 1855. J Mr. McCarthy, Dear Sir: —I see by some remarks in you reaper, that you are getting some very parsimonious persons about Rensselaer. — I am afraid your town will loose its reputation for liberality. It is true, I believe, I have never seen a schoolhouse in town, but several fine edifices for religious worship, your streets in fine condition, and a liberal effort for a Railroad; also—what few towns of its size have—a well conducted paper, that has reflected Credit on its editor and the citizens whogotit up,indicate a good degree of enterprise. Hence you can imagine my chagrin when I discovered an effort, by our new Auditor and his friends to break down your press, for that only could be his mo- i tive in sending the Delinquent List ! out of the county |to be printed.— I His plea that it is done for cheapness, j is too hollow for any sane man to be;lieve. The speculator and non-res-ident, whose* lands are advertised, > will not thank him for so penurious , an effort to economize'* their interest. ’ By the time he adds his expense in I going out of the county to get it done, it will be so trifling that they would not stoop to make the change. But they may feel obliged to him for not having the Duplicate legally placed in the hands of the Collector until more than four weeks after the time prescribed by law, and, even then, without a precept to the Treasurer to collect: they will feel still more obliged to the Auditor for not. having “recorded, in a book provided for that purpose,” the Delinquent List “between the Ist and 15th of Nov,” thereby making illegal his economized notice and sales of said Delinquent Lands on the first Monday of January next, if our cqunty Treasurer should be green enough to offer them; but from his honesty and capacity, as manifested in the settlement of the county and township revenue last June, I think he will not offer lands for sale to the honest people of Jasper county, when he knows the purchaser will have to take back his money without the expeoted per eeat. • -

When the June settlement was made, the Treasurer refused to settle the revenue until it was revised and enlarged by one who has been abused and despised’by the new-fangled gentry ;and after the celebrated Board of Commissioners of last June.and the “iron-nerved, able Auditor” had passed upon the settlment and admitted it to their record, and published it in your paper as correct, making the Treasury due the several townships, the sum of $776,78; the Treasurer agauLrefußeff tOWleby said exf»ikt» n llo{pngr that thfti-p waa more funds in his possession than reported by this infalible Board of Commissioners and the Auditor; and again they had to have recourse to some of the despised few of Rensselaer, and have their settlement examined, when the township fund was ascertained to be sl964,32—making a nett gain to the townships, by the Treasurer’s even and upright course, of $1187,54. 1 hope, Mr. Editor, we will again be saved, by him, from a loss that must otherwise resultfrom the ignorance and vindictiveness of those who will ‘‘strain at a gnat and swallow a camel.”

Singular Will. —A person named etl J. de Dios Chacon, recently died at Lima, leaving a fortune of one million dollars, all won at the gaming table. He willed the whole to a woman residing in the city, on condition that she would give a pesta r (quarter of a dollar) each day to every convalescent discharged from the hospital, and receive a hundred poor men and women at her table. In case the legatee neglects to fulfill either of the provisions above mentioned, the usufruct of the money is to be vested in the governments of England and France, on the same conditions.

Arrival of the Steamer Canada! Halifax, Nov. 22. The Canada, from Liverpool, with dates to the 10 inst., arrived here at I one o’clock. She left Liverpool on the morning of the 10th. The steamer Washington left Southampton on the Oth inst. * GENERAL INTHLLKIKNCE. The excitement in England, in re - • gard to war with the United States, had abated. There is nothing new from the scat of war, but unreliable rumors of battles near Perekop and Simphoropol, and the bombardment of Nicolaieff. i Peace rumors are numerous, but unreliable. " Strenuous efforts have been made to bring Sweden into the alliance.— Gen. Canrobert, at Stockholm,charged the Russians with endeavoring [ to force Sweden into the alliance. i Sweden is required either to assent or refuse. , It is reported from Berlin that Russia recently made a confidential communication to Prussia and Austria of her wish to renew negotiations and that Bourgueny had returned to Vienna with fresh instruction to j meet the contingency of proposals from Russia. It was further reported that Prince Gorschqkoff, a diplomatist from Vienna, and Russian Ministers from other Courts, are certainly to meet the Czar at Warsaw, about the middle of November, when the question of a renew al of negotiations will be -settled/It was also rumored that the Emperor oFFrance was favorable to negotiations . A French camp 0f50,000 men was i being formed in Silistra. The rumor of a battle near Simpheropo! turned out false. Accounts from Sebastopol say that the Russian projectiles reach the city almost every shot. A desultory fire was Kept up on both sides. The Allies say that the Russians are making preparations to retreat. Gen. Levaillant has been appoint>od,bTench Governor of Ssbastopol. Gene ral ttampbelt ense at the appointment of Codrington, and asks leave to return to England. French troops are to garrison Kinburn. The English troops returned to Sebastopol. A French force from Eupatoria, while making a reconnoisance, fell in with a large force of Russians. — The French offered battle, but the Russians retreated, after exchanging a few rounds of artillery. The French afterward burned several towns and villages on their route, and returned to Eupatoria. ~ Advices from Odessa, that it was fast being made defensible, although -some reports stated - that the Forts iwere to be dismantled, and the guns sent to Nicolaieff. Gen. Ludcrs was posted between Kinburn and Kherson. The Czar had returned direct to St. Petersburg. It was reported from Odessa, that the Allies had effected a landing near Perekop, and that the Russians were hastening to oppose them; the report hi duubttd7*~‘ St. Petersburg dispatches say that the Crimean army is provisioned for eight months.' -Ljr. —— A Vienna paper says that the Russians strength now in the Crimea is 200,000 men. Accounts from Asia state that Omar Pasha had opened friendly relations with Schamyl. Selim Pasha is to be stationed at Erzeroum with the Impelial Guard, whence he will threaten the Russians who ardbe-, seiging Kars. ' Omar commenced a march on Kutai on the 26th, with twenty-two battallions. Advices from Prussia mention the departure of embassadors for St. Petersbug. Vienna, Nov. 9.—Dispatches received by the Turkish Embassy state that the bombardment of Nickolaieff commenced on the 29th of October, and continued the whole of the follow’ing day. The result was not known. Constantinople, Oct. 29.—The Sultan has announced his intention of visiting London an<T Paris in the spring. ' - > ENGLAND. The leading journals are ashamed of the panic caused by the late war excitement, and are attempting to excuse, and let themselves gently dewn by attributing the pretended hostile attitude of America, to an election ruse on the part of the President and his Cabinet. Intelligent Englishmen of all ranks express themselves painfully humiliated by the whole affair. FRANCE. Another fake report has been cir-

cu!ated. of an attempt to assassinate the Emperor. The monthly statement of the Bank of France is not unfavorable in its general character, though it shows a diminution of a million of pounds in the circulation. SPAIN. Unfriendly relations are arising between Spain and England, partly in relation to the case of Mr. Boylan, a British subject who vvaa expelled from Cuba, notwithstanding her agreement to submit the case to the arbitrament of the British Consul in New Orleans. England demands indemnity for Boylan’s losses. ITALY. The misunderstanding between Sardinia and Tuscany remains unsettled. The departure of the Anglo-Swiss Legion from Genoa, for the Crimea, has been countermanded. The correspondent-of the London Post says there is no doubt of a revolutionary movement having broken out in Sicily. Several insurgents I have been captured and shot. Ar- ! rests had also been made at Palermo. The latest telegraphic news from London on Saturday morning states, that the corn market was very linn. Flour and wheat had advanced at Paris. i Advices from Russia show a more i warlike feeling.

Col. Kinney’s Scheme.

A correspondent of the N. Y Herald, writing from Sail Juan, under date of Oct. IStli, furnishes some iu- ’ teresting information from those I parts. It appears that after Col. Kin-; . ney had arrived at Nicaragua, be | ’found that he had been gloriously i ' Immbuged by Fabens', from whom he had received imaginary titles to sun dry million of lands. He then turn j cd his attention to the ‘Shepherd & Haley grants,’ which the cmrespon- ‘ dent says ‘are not worth the papeTorij i which the are written, and every body i ' knows it. The writer adds that “the . stories circulated by Kinney and his ; i friends, about farms, coffee, sugar.corn, are all humbug. —Notonervre j of land has been cleared, nor will be;! and liOrtrrtdlee tree or stalk of cane ' will ever be planted by Kinney or his ' followers. There are but few among ’ them that can cut wood, plow, or do , i any work but loaf, and in that the; majority are perfect. Lying around bar rooms, drinking liquor and run ! ning in debt for board, lodging, ruin’ and cigars, including washing, is all) they have done yet, and I rather ex-j pect all they will do. Thc newalfair about gold is an old affair— no gold there. The thirty thousand dollar purchase is all moonshine. In fact, heretofore to. colonize ! I this coast have proved failures, and ' will, for no white population can do ; it, and those who do try it die. 1 ' j | We would as soon think of fullow- ! ing in Coleridge’s footsteps, and writing an elegy on a dead Jackass, as 1 to write an article complimentary to | the K. N. party. — Frankfort Yeoman. “We are not aware that Coleridge ever wrote an “elegy on a dead Jack-, ass,” though he certainly addressed ; ! a few lines to a living one—and we I do tfotfeel it presumptuous to follow ; in his footsteps. The editor of the Yeoman has innocently mixed himself up with the dead ass in Stern’s Sentimental Journey and the live one in Coleridge’s poems. The coincidence ’is refreshing. When strait these , three meet again? — Louisville Journal.

From Mr. Bouchanan.

Washington, Nov. 16. —The Ctibi- I net were in session again to-day,' and the despatches by the Pacific, from our Minister, Mr. Buchanan, were received at the State Department and considered in the Cabinet ceuncil. The tenor of these despatches is, I am informed by good • authority, of the most friendly charj acter, assuring our Government that ' there was no significancy in their 'sending the fleet to the West Indies, ! and that there was not thp i cause for the panic created by the I English journals. This news; has] quieted those excited individuals in i the Cabinet who have been anticip^t-1 ing a rupture between the two Governments. Commodore Paulding’s expected mission to San Juan has been frustrated, and only one vessel iof the Home Squadron will proceed I to Nicaragua. i (EFMr. Alderman Sblorrions/tf Jew, has been ' elected Lord Mayor of London, Wy a large majwiqr.

From New York.

New York, Nov. A bill has been introduced into the Legislature of Georgia, proposing to confiscate, for the benefit of owners ; of fugitive slaves, the debt due by the citizens of Georgia to the citizens of a State to which slaves have reached, j if the authorities of a State refuse to deliver up the slaves upon the claim ; of their rightful owners. . At a meeting of the Central Deini ocratic Union Club, last evening, measures were taken for bringing j about a Union of the Democratic party, and a special committee was appointed to report a plan’effocting . the same.

Bank Rumors.

Boston; NoVj. 23. It is rumored that the notes of the following Banks have been thrown out by the Suffolk Bank, namely: The Ocean and IEI-ovorth Bank at ' Searsport, Me.: the South Royalton ; and People's Bank at Derby, A t., 1 and tbe Rhode Island Central Bank i _. -

The Canada at Boston.

Boston, Nov. 21. ihe Canada’? mails furnish the i following items: The British Government has officitiily prohibited the exportation of i salt pcTre iroin The territories of the ' East India Company to any ports exi cept London and Liverpool. It has ; also been ordered that vessels loading in England with salt petre or nii trate of soda for the United [States, • shall discharge the same. The ship Catharine, loading at L indon for Boston, had been ordered to discharge the salt petre then j on board.

From Washington.

Washington, Nov. 26. The Union says it is authorized by the State Department to say that Buchanan had two conferences with the Earl of Clarendon, in relation to the West India squadron. The Earl declares that it was dis patched for no purpose unfriendly to the Unite 1 States; its object was to I protect the commerce ol -Great Brit- ! ain against Russian privateers, three jof which were, fitting out at New r York, one being uem ly ready to go ito sea. 'This particular vessel was a large fast clipper, specially intended to intercept British ships conveying gold to Europe from Australia, the purpose first to capture one of the Con- ! ard steamers. ’ In justification of this statement, i the Earl of Clarendon referred to the case of the bark Mau ray, as reprei sented I by Mr. Barclay to Mr.Crampton, and |by him transmitted to the British ‘ Government; they were at the same time laid before our government. My former dispatih having been unauthorizedly contradicted. 1 repeat, on the best information, that the present ileterrninatioii is not to forward > copies of the President’s Message for ; the distant newspapers as heretofore ! in advance of its delivery to Congress, i It may not even be printed until that t"timeT - .
