STATE CENTRAL' TEMPEKANCE COMMITTEE. Indianapolis, April 15th,-1855. .'Dear Sir:'; It is a cause of great rejoicing that the friends of Temperance have so far suc- - ceeded in their endeavors for the suppression of '. the traflic in ardent spirits, as to have obtained from the last Legislature a stringent Prohibitory ,' Liquor Law. So far we have gained much, but not all that is essential for the consummation of the hopes of the friends of the cause. In every stage of the Temperance Reformar tion the great enquiry has been, "What will best ' advance the cause, and most speedily gain the desired end?" Each period has furnished a different answer to every other. And it wasnatural and right that it should be so. At one period a very different instrumentality was required from another. In the earlier stages, powerful appeals to the public mind on the extent and evils of in- ' temperance, were needed from the live orator, -that men might be roused from their lethargy, ' and compelled to turn their attention to a remedy. In the Washingtonian movement, the thing needed was to awaken hope in the breast of every miserable inebriate, and hope in his wretched family, and cause him once more to stand upon his feet as a man. It was the relation of experience that was to advance the cause. The Sons of Temperance, as they saw the reformed men too frequently allured from their steadfastness, thought the one thing needful was the organization of one great brotherhood, which would spread over them the shield of protection, relieve and comfort them in the hour of sickness, and carry them safe from the wiles of the tempter to their eternal home. But we passed all these tilings and became convinced that the one great thing demanded was the extirpation of the traffic by human laws. Moral Suasion had done its work. It had plead the cause to pcrssuade men to do what was right; law was needed to compel men to desist from doing what was wrong. To effect the passage of such a law,' we directed our energies, as the only hope of the Temperance enterprise. In this we succeeded, but it is not all that is to be done. Many think it enough that we have the law. But the bare enactment of law is worthless, without something farther. We must have the Enforcement of the Law. This is the great thing which we shall need in the future. All other things have had their day. To speeches, lectures, tales, statistics, appeals, organizations, points of loss and gain, we have become, to use a common expression, "Gospel hardened." We now need something beyond something that people will feel something that must be complied with, and that shall put the entire matter at rest. This, then, is the great point to be kept before the people the enforcement of the law we have succeeded in having enacted. Upon its enforcement depends its permanency and value. Men respect and obey the law just so far as it is enforced, and no farther. The perfect ability, as well as right of enforcement, cannot be questioned, after what we have seen in other States of the Union. The venders all expect its enforcement, and cannot believe that men, who, for years, have so laboriously toiled, and made such sacrifices for the law, will, after they have gained it, be driven by threats from that purpose, or sit down in soft indulgence, as if their whole work was accomplished. Remembering your past co-operation with us, and great efficiency in achieving our success so far, we now call upon you to PREPARE TO MEET THE LAW. ' Take the initiative step consult with your formoi; co-laborers as to the most desirable course to secure a prompt and efficient enforcement of the law against any and all offenders. . Let meetings be called in every Township of your County, and numerous delegates sent to a County Contention. Organize what we know in Maine and New York as "Carson Leagues," where Bonds for large amounts are given, and upon which a tax of one-quarter or one-half per cent, is levied, if necessary, to engage the ablest counsel for the prosecuiion of offenders, before the Magistrates and , Courts having jurisdiction of the Law, and to meet every expense necessary for its enforcement. Let it be known in your resolutions and speeches that the unanimity with which the law was passed, receiving the votes of members of all parties, in the last Legislature, proves conclusively that it is demanded by a large mar jority of the people of this State rises above all party considerations and refutes the oft-repeated declaration of its enemies, that the enactment of such a law would be in defiance of the wishes of a large majority of the people; and that it is emphatically the working-man's friend, and the poor man's protector. Obtain an attendance at your Convention, if possible, of the Judges, Magistrates, Mayors, Marshals, Sheriffs, Constables, Coroners, and Prosecuting Attorneys, and have them define their position, and let it be known if they are for or against the enforcement of the law. Let those Magistrates, and all other officers, who avow or show a determination to enforce the law, know that they will be sustained, and that they will be supported and . defended at all hazards, and to the utmost extremely of your power and ability. Let those members of the Legislature who labored and voted for the passage of the law know that they will be held in grateful remembrance; and that their action receives your cordial and hearty approbation. That the Governor, in approving the law, has performed a work that will send a thrill- of joy and gladness in many a rum-cursed family, and restored prosperity and happiness to many a scattered and ruined household. Urge, by all means in your power, the people to whom has been given this blessed enactment, to come to your help against the enemy. Show yourselves to be men, and reap the fruit of all your labors. The spirits of all who have passed before you, who laid the foundations of your cities, and churches, and schools, and made this land beautiful above all lands, will look down upon you to see what you will do in this important crisis; and around you will be gathered all the sons and daughters of sorrow, torn, and scathed, and peeled through the intoxicating cup, hoping for relief; and ten thousand children and youths scattered over all your beautiful hills and valleys, and future generations have to receive blessings or curses at your hands,' will look up to you with imploring hearts, and say, Enforce the Law ! Enforce the Law ! !

Military Preparations in Cuba Arming of the Blacks. The U. S. mail steamship Cahawba, from New Orleans 8th, and Havana 11th, arrived at New York Monday morning. Havana was quiet, and nothing of apparent interest occurring. The city is still garrisoned by the "volontanos;" the regular troops are nearly all stationed along the coast. Dr. C. A. Pec, dentist, late of New York, was released from prison on the morning the Cahawba left, on the security of a friend that he would remain in Havana until his case was decided. Carlos Castillo was also permitted to leave the Moro, and allowed to remain at his residence until the sailing of the packet for Cadiz. two thousand negroes to be armed. - Trunsluted from La Prensa de 1a ilabana, April 11. His Excellency, the Captain General, has been pleased, with this date, to decree the following: Duly authorized by Her Majesty's government for the organization of disciplined militia composed of men of color, I thereby order the formation of said corps under the following rules, viz: 1. There will be sixteen companies of disciplined militia of men of color, each company to be composed of 125 men, according to the regulation of January 13, 1769, with all the military privileges granted in the same, with the difference, that the officers of said companies shall be white, "and from the regular army; the said companies to join as soon as formed, the regular army. 2. The companies of colored disciplined militia will depend immediately upon the sub-inspeclion of infantry, and will be commanded by an officer of the rank of colonel. 3. The sixteen companies will be composed of free mulattoes and blacks, and will be organized in the following places, viz: Three of mulattoes and free negroes in Havana; one of each color in Matanzas; one of negroes and two of mulattoes at Cinco Villas; one of negroes at Puerto Principe; two of mulattoes and two of negroes in Cuba, and the rest in the Eastern department. 4. They will proceed instantly to the enlistment of all negro or mulatto volunteers, who possess the quality of strength, no less than five feet high, of good conduct and character, and from twenty to thirty years of age. If the volunteer enlistment does not promise the full complement of men, you will resort to laws already provided for such emergency. 5lh. As soon as the enlistment is accomplish

ed, each man will be furnished, on account of

the government, with one blouse, musket and sabre. The same to remain in the barracks when off duty. 6th. The class of sergeants and corporals will be appointed by the officers, subject to promotion for millitary conduct and gallantry; the said noncommissioned officers as well as privates will serve the time as laid down in the regulations.

7th. The commanders, governors and lieutenant governors will proceed to the enlistment of all

free colored men.

8th. The individuals serving in the corps of

hremen are exempt Irom militia duty. 9th. The inspection of infantry will immediate ly proceed to drilling the enlisted.

To carry out in this city the above decree, I

have assigned the following barracks La J uer

Washington, April 15, 1855. I learn from good authority here, that after two or three weeks' deliberations, the Cabinet have detailed Commodore McCauley to Cuba, with orders amounting almost to nothing at all. He goes upon a fool's errand, like our diplomats at Ostend ; or like the King of France, who, with thirty thousand men marched up the hill only to march down again. True, the Commodore sails to Cuba with despatches to our Consul at Havana : but he is cautioned to be extremely careful against getting into a difficulty like that of Capt. Hoilins, at Greytown. At the same time despatches will be sent out by the Spanish Minister to Gen. Concha; advising him to let American steamers pass without molestation hereafter, except in very suspicious cases ; and to use all available means for conciliating our government. In point of fact, Commodore McCauley goes out as a sort of a marine police officer, to aid the government of Cuba in detecting the filibusters, should they come along. He will have a talk with Concha, and make it all straight, and all past offenses will be forgiven upon the verbal explanations expected of the Captain General. As I was the first to promulgate to the world, through the columns of the Herald, the warlike movements of the Cabinet on this Cuban imbroglio, upon the heels of Soule's return, so it is likely that this will be the first intelligence of Mr. Pierce's backing out. But you may rely upon ray sources of information, as heretofore. All the warlike bluster and gasconade of the Washington Union and other "cabinet organs, is all for Buncumbe and deception in the Virginia and other approaching elections. This administration can't be kicked into a war. Greytown exhausted it. 2V. Y. Herald. J3T Thirty-second Sabbath School Anniversary, held at Asbury Chapel, Monday evening, April 16, 1855.

Our city fathers have recently been at the expense of erecting a splendid and well arranged school-building, with three apartments for the accommodation of teachers of three grades, and it is suggested by many of our good citizens, that a competent and experienced teacher for the principal department, might find it to his advantage to pay our place a visit as soon'as possible, and take a peep at our new town seminary.

gr Every farmer in Indiana should Pul every foot of tillable ground into grain, that he 'can possibly prepare. There will not be the slightest danger of an over-crop, nor of prices that are not fully remunerative to the producer. The short harvest of last year, says the N. Y. Post, is beginning to reveal itself now very strikingly. The opening of navigation on the river does not add to the supplies; on the contrary, the dealers of Albany ,and Troy arc making purchases of wheat in the market. The stock of wheat is reduced to 25,000 bushels, nearly nil Southern and Canadian. When the canals open, it is not expected the supplies will be heavy, either from Canada or the upper lakes, whence only supplies can be had. No supplies of grain or flour can come from Ohio or the interior of New York ; so that the sources of supply, until after next harvest, are verv limited. There are no receipts of im

portance via New Orleans, and the supplies of

Southern flour are light Irom a want oi wueat to trrind. Prices, therefore, instead of falling when

navigation opens, are likely to be fully maintain

ed, if they do not actually rise. ixijuyeue jour

Railroad Tolls. Some apprehension has been

lately manifested by the business men of the Western States, who - are constantly receiving noods over the New York Railroads, during the

winter and spring, at the attempts to reinstate the

system of tolls upon Ireiglits taken across itau roads. The design of this mtMtre was to pro

tect the canals, and reimburse the State Treasury

for losses accruing through the diversion of a lame transportation business, from the Canals, to

the Railroads. By reference to the journals of

the 2v. Y. Assembly, it appears that a majority

of the members of the committee of ways and

means are opposed to the measure, and it will not

therefore of course be adopted.

The revenue of the State of New York, for the

present fiscal year, will be inadequate to the ex

peases of State government, and must be made less, but for selfish reasons the west are interested in having that accomplished in some other mode than by the levy upon their business of the re

quisite amount. Lafayette Journal.

Wheat and Flour. 'Ihe Rochester Advertiser received from a miller in that city, who has made a thorough examination, a statement of the surplus wheat in all of the region of country in the west, whose products will find an Atlantic market through the several routes of Buffalo, Oswego and Ogdensburg. This shows the aggregate of wheat to come forward this spring is .not over 1,500,0000 bushels equal only to about 300,000 barrels of flour.' This is exclusive of the amount to come from Canada, concerning which we have no definite information, though we believe it will be found pretty large. In any event the prospect for bread is not verv flattering. JttTThirty-two freight cars came down on the Lafayette road yesterday with two locomotives attached. Ten of them were loaded with potatoes from Wisconsin, for the market south. This road is doing a tremendous business. Five passenger cars leave the Union Depot nearly every day for the north, via Lafayette. "Westward hoi the star of Empire takes its way!"

"Venus" and "Luna," on last Wednesday night, were unique in their brilliancy and splendor. The hew moon was a slight, but intensely golden-hued crescent; this flaming orb of beauty in the western hemisphere, was ornamented, at the extreme top of the lower limb by a single conjunction with the "evening star." This beautiful and unusual phenomenon was observable until about nine o'clock, when gradually the star passed from the point of the moon underneath the gilded semicircle, and with it disappeared from view below the horizon.
