INDIAN APOLTS,

An Address, Delivered at the Installation of Rev. W. M Daily, I). D., as President of the Indiana Univehiitv, August 2, 1854, ur Jos. A. Wright. President Daily, and Fellow Citizens: Fabius,' tho lloman Consul, was called the buckler, for his caution and prudence; Marctllus the sword, for his boidness and activity; yet, the great Carthago-man General said that lie stood in fear of Fabius. as his schoolmaster, and of Marcellus as his adversary; for he received hurt from Marcellus, aniriabius prevented Ins doing hurt himself. The schoolmaster of this day has still a nobler work to perform not only, in the language of Hannibal, to prevent men from doing hurt, but to' induce them to do positive good. The. duties and influence" of the President of a Collegu,j.are, as it has' been well said, greater and more important in many respects than those of the President of the nation. The first labors to form public opinion; the latter studies how to obey it. You, sir, as President of this Institution, have much to do with the sentiments, prin ciples, and character of the young men who will assemble here, from time to time, to receive instruction. I do not suppose (hat I can instruct either vou or the audience upon the subject of education; but, having been called upon by the Board of Trustees, I could not decline to accept their in vitation to be present on this occasion, and to participate in these very interesting ceremonies. We have manv Colleges in Indiana; many High Schools and Academies; and numerous other Institutions which afford public and private means of instruction; and yet, it does seem to me that the grea-t prevalent error among our people, consists in this, that they affix to the idea of education something that can only be ' found away from home. . The general rule that prevails among parents is, to inquire for some Boarding School, High bohool, Academy or College, in which thev may place their sons or daughters, in order that they receive that kind of instruction necessary to qualify them to enter upon the discharge of the duties and responsibilities of active life. Manv parents seem to think that home is a proper place to eat, drink, talk, and sleep; but that is all. ; The Almighty has left us, in his word, three positive institutions the Family, the Church, and Civil Government. These have existed, in some form, in every age of the world. Other institutions have arisen, and they are before us and' among us; they come and go, to be' seen no more. But the whole fabric of society' may be changed; . governments may 'be rent asunder; new dynasties may take the place of the old; a volcanic tempest may sweqip over the whole face of civilization; yet, as soon as the necessary time would elapse for the settling down of society in some form, shape, and order, these three institutions ordained of Heaven would appear the Family, the Church, and Civil Government. The first of these is the Family; and it is in this institution that we must look for the- beginning of an education that shall be worthy of the age and the nation in which we live. There is much implied by the phrase, "Home education." It is not the, cultivation of mere intellect it is the proper training of the heart, the affections, and the social qualities. I do not believe that any man, let his intellectual attainments be what they may, is fit to go forth into society, if he has not had thrown around him the genial and purifying influence of parents, sisters, brothers, and the influence of the Family government. We cannot maintain and perpetuate our glorious form of government, in its purity and excellence by depending alone' upon the Colleges and Universities of the land. We must look to the education that controls and shapes the family circle. There can be no love of country, where there is no love of home. True patriotism derives its mighty strength from fountains that gush out around the hearth stone; and those who forget to cherish the household interests, will soon learn to look with indifference upon the interests of their country. I know a man of great wealth, an active member of the bar for twenty-five years, who resides near the capital of Indiana. He is the father of nine sons, two of whom are ministers of different religious denominations.' Of these, one .has traveled in foreign lands, and has interested and delighted many American audiences by imparting to them knowledge which he had acquired abroad. Two are among the most industrious and successful farmers of our State. . One is a most gentlemanly Conductor upon one of our Railroads; another, under twenty years of age, has penetrated the wilderness North-west of Lake Superior, as far as Pembina, and has returned with a mind well stored with practical knowledge! Another is in active business in a produce store, on the shores of Lake Michigan; and the two youngest are now scholars in a district school. I heard one of these sons say, at the age of twenty-two, that he was never in a Court House to hear a trial, or to be sworn as a witness. This father, to whom I have referred, had a little domestic government at Home. ' It is his practice, in his family, to hold frequent consultations, in which each member takes a part in the discussion and determination of all questions affecting their duties', interests, and responsibilities, in the affairs of life. , He taught his- sons to think, to work, to labor.. He has been able to invest practical labor with an interest that cheers the hearts of all around him, and that thus' gives to his home the grace, peace, refinement and attraction, lhat God designed a Home should possess. The results of this system of home education are seen in good constitutions, physical strength, good morals, industrious habits, and in the practical application of useful knowledge acquired by collegiate studies. Your late distinguished President, Dr. Wylie, often remarked that, during an experience of a quarter of a century, as a public instructor, he had never known a single instance in which the son of a working, laborious, practical father, did not receive a liberal education. The correctness of this remark will not be questioned by any one who has studied our institutions. When, therefore, we take into consideration, the pursuits, habits, and character of our people who. mainly constitute a rural population and the ideas which they will impress upon

IND., SATURDAY, MARCH 31, 1855.

the nation, the importance of the work before the Instructors of the land is clearly manifest. ' There is truth and force in the saying that "ideas, ideas, rule the world." Wealth and associatiniiH have their influence. The Czar of Russia, and the purse of the Rothchilds, have theirs; but the time is at hand when such influences must give way before the march of intellect, and the ideas of the Schoolmaster, and these can only exercise their full force among a people whose nursuits. occuoations, and institutions, are calculated to call forth the full development of the moral and physical man. In everv at'e there have been men like those of the -present day,' who are fearful of losing sight of the past, and ot forgetting to pay proper reverence and respect to the instructions and examples of those who have gone before us. Yet, the world still moves forward while these croakers are predicting- failure and overthrow to all that is not founded on the wisdom of the men of the past. - We want, and we mvsthave, an improved system of practical education; a system , that shall be adapted to the times, to the nature of our government, and to the condition of the country. We want an American system of education. Look around upon the immense fields that invite the laborsf scholars who are well educated in the sciences of Chemistry, Mechanics, Geology, Botany, &c, and behold how few are qualified for the work of scientific investigations in these fields. We have hundreds of graduates who can translate Latin and Greek, and explain the meaning of some obscure texts in Hebrew; but who, as architects or engineers, can tell you nothing of the proper plans to span rivers with Railroad bridges, or ot the true means by which you may render your wet lands productive. Not long since, a distinguished Engineer, in the service of the United States, wished to employ an assistant; and hearing of six graduates at one of the first colleges of the land, he visited them, and regretted to find that not one of them was (iualified to discharge the duties of an assistant ngineer in his service. How little we know of the chemical properties of the air we breathe, of the water we drink, or of the soil on which we are dependent for the food that supports life 1 How ignorant we are of the various qualities pf the different ores and minerals that lie in profusion all around us ! What do the students in our Colleges learn of the botanical characteristics of our grains, grasses, fruits, trees, and flowers? And, on their return to their homes, what information can they communicate to their neighbors, in relation to the physiological peculiarities of those animals which are in most demf ad for the farmer or for the market? , , We demand, in these times, Institutions where our sons can be educated to be Farmers, Architects, Artizans, Engineers, Mechanics, Geologists, Botanists in a word, useful men. Living in the center of this Republic, in the very heart of a rural population,, we require in this Institution, (the only one connected with the State,) a Model Farm, under the charge of men qualified to teach the youth who shall come hither for instruction. One great object of education should be to make labor attractive and profitable; not a few kinds of labor, but all kinds of useful labor. It is a part of our mission in this world to battle with the elements earth, seas, and skies and our fellow-men, for a subsistence; and in this State College the example should be prominently set forth in order that its influence may be felt through all the avenues of society; and that thereby we may elevate labor and make it the subject of attraction. The systems of Political Economy taught in our Colleges, do not, it seems to me, sir, attach sufficient importance to the interests, rights, and duties of our State governments. A wise administration of the affairs of the State governments will impart wisdom and strength to the National Councils; and that is a wise policy which, in all ordinary cases, throws the several States of the Union upon their own resources, and confines the action of the General Government to the exercise of those powers clearly granted to it by the Constitution. The desire to foster strong attachments to our State interests, and to fix in the minds of Students a true appreciation of our State rights, should never be permitted to degenerate into a feeling of prejudice against any other portion of the Union. The Instructors of the youth of the present day should labor to establish feelings of friendship, harmony, and peace among all the citizens of our widely extended Republic. The richest promise is to the Peace Maker; and this promise extends, not only to individuals, but to communities, States, and Nations. The Bible should be studied, and held in rev erence in this Institution; and every Student who shall seek instruction within these walls should never be permitted to forget that, in life, he has to choose, as a prop to lean upon, either the Word ot trod, and liis promises, or the opinions of man, ana nis philosophy. President Daily: I am authorized, in behalf of the Board of Trustees, to hand you the keys of this Institution, as a mark of their confidence that the trust reposed in you will be faithfully discharged. You will succeed in your work when you shall have convinced the young men who shall leave this Institution, that , . "Worth makes the man; The want of it the fellow;" and . that there is but one class of men entitled to the appellation of great. That class is composed of those whose trust, faith, and confidence, on truth, on virtue, on God, is most unfaltering. . A Gentle Hint. A congregation who were offended at their preacher, yet who did not wish to take the responsibility of dismissing him immediately, sent him a note, requesting him to leave at the end of six months, and in the, meantime to preach as Hide as possible ! jCSTMrs. Swisshelm says: "That secret you dare not tell your mother is a dangerous secret, one that will be likely to bring you sorrow." g3T A fellow with a scolding wife moved into a swamp where the dumb ague was prevalent his wife was effectually cured.

Z3TY)x. J. G. Weeks has prepared the following synopsis of the Bounty Land bill and instructions, and requested us to publish for the benefit of all entitled to land under it. Synopsis of the New Bounty Land Law.. Section 1 provides that each of the surviving officers, musicians and privates, whether of regulars, volunteers, rangers, or militia, regularly mustered into the service of the United States, and every officer, seaman, marine,-clerk and landsman in the navy in any war in which we have been engaged since 1790; also each of the survivors of the militia or volunteers, or State troops, of any State or Territory, called into military service and regularly mustered therein, and whose services have been paid by the United

States, shall receive a Warrant for one hundred and sixty acres of land; in all cases deducting the amount heretofore received under any former act of Congress: Provided, where the claimant was a deserter, or dishonorably discharged, he is not entitled. Provided also, that the benefits of this section shall extend to wagon-masters and teamsters when employed under the direction of competent authority in time of war. Sec. 2. Provides that in the event, of the death of the person who rendered the service, the right to the warrant descends first, to the widow, and second, to the children who are minors; Provided, That a subsequent marriage does not impair the widow's rights, if she be a widow at the date of her application; and provided also, that those are minors under this .law, who are under twenty-one years of age, on the 3d day of March, A. D., 1855. ' ' ' ' Sec. 3. Provides that no warrant shall issue for a less time than fourteen days, unless the claimant shall actually have been engaged . in battle, and that the claim shall be established by recorded evidence. Sec. 4. Provides that warrants issued under this act may be assigned, transferred, and located by assignees, warrantees and heirs under existing laws. ' , . , ! . Section 5 provides that the warrants issued under this act shall be located on such land as shall at the time be subject to sale at the minimum or lower graduated prices. oeclion 6 provides that .Registers and Keceivers may charge and receive the same fees in locating warrants as in cases where sales are made for cash, at $1 25 per acre. '- Section 7 extends the benefits of this act, and all former bounty land laws to Indians. Section 8 extends the benefits of this act to soldiers of the Revolution, their widows and minor children. Section 9 extends the benefits of this act to the volunteers at the invasion of riattsburgb in September, 1814; also at the battle of King's Mountain, in the Revolution, and the battle of Nicokack against the confederate savages of the South. . Section 10 extends the benefits of this act to chaplains. Section ll extends the benefits of this act to flotilla-men, and the volunteers at the attack on Lewistown, in Delaware, in the war of 1812 and 1815. '''.!' instructions. Under the instructions of the Commissioner of pensions, the claimants must make their declarations under oath substantially according to the prescribed forms: the claimant must be identified by two 6worn witnesses, whose residences must be given, and whose credibility must be sustained by the certificate of the officer administering the oath. The official character and signature of the officer administering the oath must be certified by the proper clerk. Separate papers must be attached by tape or ribbon, tbe ends passing under the official seal. . Widows must prove their marriage, first, from authentic Court records; in the absence of such records, second, by a family record, or in the absence of both, third, by testimony of witnesses who knew the parties in the life time of the husband, knew them to cohibit as husband and wife and be so reported. The death of the husband and present widowhood bust also be proved. Minors must apply through a guardian or next friend. One minor may apply for several in the ' same family. Minors must prove the father's death, that no widow survives him, and that the claimant or claimants are the only minor. Substitutes are ill all cases entitled to the benefits of this act, and not those who employed them. - If a claimant die while his claim is pending, the widow or minor children should renew the application. If a claimant dies after the issue of the warrant, the title thereof vests in his heirs at law as real estate, and can only be assigned or located by said heirs. Applications made by Indians must be governed by the regulations prescribed by the Commissioner of Indian Affairs. TOIL AND TROUBLE. Although barricades are not just now in fashion, the reform movement of the world is progressing with slow and sure advances, and, perhaps, in no sphere more uamistakeably than in that of things ecclesiastical. Three symptoms appearing almost simultaneously, two in Jiurope and one on this Continent, and all of them of first-rate importance, warrant us in pronouncing the movement of revolt against Curch establish ments one of the most manifest tendencies of the times. The first of these manifestations, in point ot time, at least, is the' "Act for the fecculanza tion of Clergy Reserves," lately passed by the Canadian Legislature, by which the Jinglish Jis tablishment was abolished, and the religious sys tem of Canada was based upon the voluntary principle, and assimilated to that in force among ourselves, an act of spoliation at which the isishop ot Toronto vainly raised the cry ot "Communism!" This measure is the sorest blow the Church of England at home has sustained of late, and the British House of Peers trembled, as it passed the preliminary statute enabling the Canadians thus to deal with the possessions of their clergy. The Church of Rome has fared no better than that of England. The little State of Sardinia,

nog;

which had been signalizing itself for some time by divers profane proceedings such as the abolition of ecclesiastical censorship has at last outdone itself in wickedness by "destroying, almost totally, all the religious associations of both sexes, the collegiate churches and simple benefices, and delivering over their property to the administration of the civil power." Whereat the Papal heart is tortured, and, taking up the cry of the Anglican Bishop of Toronto, denounces the little Commonwealth as infected with "the pernicious errors of Socialism and Communism," and as having merited the awful castigatiou of an interdict. Heresy in Italy was bad enough, but not so bad as the evil news from Spain Spain, the native country of Loyola; the cradle of the Jesuits; the hope of the Inquisitor; the matchless defender, the peerless propagator, the chivalricchampion of the Roman Church. Like Sardinia, the barricade ministry of Spain began by offending in small things such as the liberty of the Press, religious toleration, and the like. The Court of Rome made an ineffectual threat of withdrawing its representatives from Madrid for a breach of the Concordat, and then kept silence. But the downward way is speedy; the Spanish Ministry are now carrying through a bill for selling all ecclesiastical property, and making tho clergy and the religious houses dependent for support upon money-salaries from the public treasury. This plan is analogous to that instituted by the French Constituent Assembly of 1789, and when carried into effect will assimilate tbe position of the Spanish clergy to that of their brethren on the other side of the Pyrenees. "How are the mighty fallen!" The incubus that has so long weighed upon the destinies of the Iberian peninsula, that has made it unbeseem the promise of its middle-age and play, for the last two centuries, a subordinate part in the movement of European civilization, seems about to be partially, at least shaken off. The Pope has not yet spoken out upon this last profanity; but neither the brilliancy of Isabella's gift, nor the splendor of the assembled magnates at Rome, nor the eclat of the newly-proclaimed dogma, nor the consequent ecstasies of the faithful in every land, will suffice to repair the damage inflicted by these rebellious assumptions of independence on the part of Spain and Piedmont. 2V. Y. Tribune. ' TO" ALL YOTJNGJHEN. We cannot better devote the space usually occupied by our leading editorial than by publishing the following letter, which we have just re-' ceived from one of Philadelphia's best and noblest merchants, and the extract it contains. The letter is as follows: "I send you the extract I spoke of a few days sinoe. It contains more real truth of what my long experience has been in the great battle of life, (having commenced at the first round of the ladder) than any article I have ever seen in print, and I do hope that every newspaper in our country will republish it, for the benefit of all young men who are about commencing business, and who are now in business, for it will do much good, if they will be governed by its precepts." ' v The extract referred to appeared originally in the Richmond Post, and is as follows: ' "When a crisis befalsyou, and the emergency requires moral courage and noble manhood to meet it, be equal to the requirements of the mo-' ment, and rise superior to the obstacles, in your; path. The universal testimony of men whose experience exactly coincides with yours, furnishes the consoling reflection that difficulties may be ended by opposition. There is no blessing equal to the possession of a stout heart. The magnitude of the danger needs nothing more than a greater effort than ever at your hands. If you prove recreant in the hour of trial, you are the worst ot recreants, and deserve no compassion. Be not dismayed or unmanned, when you should be bold and daring, unflinching and resolute.' The cloud whose threatening murmurs you hear with fear and dread is pregnant with blessings, and tbe frown whose sternness now makes you shudder and tremble, will ere long be succeeded by a smile of bewitching sweetness and benignity. Then be strong and manly, oppose equal forces to open difficulties, keep a stiff upper lip, and trust in providence. 'Greatness can only be' achieved by those who are tried. The condition of that achievement is confidence in one's self." We certainly do not often meet? with a piece of better sentiment or sounder morality. This confidence in one's self, in a world where every man appears to be striving against his fellow, is as necessary to a successful career as is breath to a physical existence. Or it may be likened to the healthful action of the heart, whose steady pulsations direct and keep in harmony every movement of the animal economy. This once lost, and the consequences are as calamitous as those that follow any disorder of the great human engine. . In order to maintain intact this self-confi-. dence, one must respect himself, which can only be done by pursuing a uniform life of honor and integrity. There are those who quail and shud- ; der before every, breath of adverse fortune. Their timidity is their stumbling-block, if not , their ruin, while they have the additional mortification of witnessing the rapid advance and ultimate success of those who, commencing life with themselves, have placed and retained Self-Confi-dence at the helm of their adventurous bark. . The writer of the letter enclosing us this extract is a most admirable specimen of the results of this sound philosophy, and the eminent position he now occupies in the affection and respect of the community, and, indeed, of the country, must be an abundant reward for the trials and difficulties he so nobly battled in his earlier career.
