Had beauty and each mental charm the power .To save from death, in death's tremendous hour, Then Mary, sweetest Mary had not died In bloom of youth, nor friends nor parents sigh'd. She was admir'd wherever she. did go ; She was so lovely, Oh ! how vastly so ; Yet she, the cherish'd one, musty ield those charms To loathsome reptiles, and to crawling worms. Such was my friend, of character unstained, Averse to vice, to virtue's school well train'd ; Not born for earth,' for endless bliss design'd, She, at his call, earth's transient joys resign'd.. Farewell, sweet Mary dear, belov'd, farewell! With thy Redeemer, rais'd in heaven to dwell , For thee, till death, thro' life's worst ills he trod, To bring thee to the bosom of thy God. . , Take comfort, parents ; thou who wast so dear, What, tho' you're parted, let hopes brightest ray Suffice, to check the anguish of di.spair, You'll meet, no more to part, in endless day. Indianapolis, Aug. 6, '55. S. W. THE FORSAKEN GIRL, : TO TIIK FALSE ONE AND HIS BRIDE. Oh may your lives be happier far, . Than ever mine can be ; Together may you sweetly glide O'er life's tempestuous sea. '. ' And may you soon forget the hand That traced these lines to thee ; For I would gladly be forgot, Since love's no more for me. - Yes, live and love; I fain would know That happiness was thine, Though sorrow, pressed into the grave, This aching heart of mine. Then let me, let me be forgot When clods my heart shall cover; Let silken wood-grass wreath my grave, And o'er me wild birds hover. And when at last, your lives are o'er, ' May you arrive together, ' . Where storms are not, and tears are known, On that bright shor, no, never! New Albany, Aug. 1855. Lyra St Leon.. . Editors Locomotive:--I find a feverish inquiry here on the subject of our wheat crop. .The partial injury in consequence of the wet weather is greatly exagerated in the statement of many, into a total loss. I set matters right, by stating that I think our wheat crop, that will be saved, will come fully up to the best average Indiana has ever yielded, and that the corn crop will be over an average. Money matters look well, and I shall yet be mistaken if money t shall not be very abundant for the coming season. The European war does not seem to have the effect of making money scarce there, as was anticipated by many. - Notwithstanding the large loans being made to support the armies, I think the demand abroad will keep prices of our produce from going down below a fair remuneration, for the surplus over our demands for home consumption. Railroad property and securities are evidently fast gaining confidence, and the time cannot be far ahead when such property in our good roads in Indiana will be sought after. ; . I feel that the prospects of the work in which I am engaged are very cheering. You will see that Poor, of the Railroad Journal, is still working out his pay, by continuing his libels against the road and myself, hot suffering you to escape. .But he is no longer capable of harm, since he has become known, as the mere mercenary tool of others. His case should be a warning to the editors of the country. Once no man stood better, now none so low, and such will ever be the case with those who leave the straight forward track of honesty, integrity, and truth, for mere temporarygains, however much they may hope to escape public justice. Very truly, O. II. Smith. New York, August 3, 1855. , Agricultural Books. In this age of cheap reading, books on all the sciences being mulliplied without number, it is graiifjing to see the Agricultural department beginning to be so well represented. A few 3-ears since, there were scarce a dozen different kinds of Agricultural Books to be found in all the bookstores in the State. There are now some seventy different kinds of C. M. Saxon & Co.'s publications alone, in this city. L. II. Hare, their General Agent for the West, has a large lot at Beard & Sinex's Agricultural Warehouse, and is employing men to give their Books a more general introduction in this and the neighboring States. .' Farmers are beginning to wake upon this subject, and are availing themselves of the facts and principles connected with their vocation. Our most successful farmers are those best acquainted with the general principles of husbandry as laid down in scientific works, who exercise their own judgment in carrying out their principles and modifying their cultivation to suit our climate, cheap lands, fec. Agricultural improvement is rapidly advancing in our state, and every man who lends his influence in promoting this good cause, has at least the satisfaction of believing the State and. the world is the better for his living in it. There is no reason why Indiana should not occupy a proud position in the Agricultural world. With a soil as fertile as any in the Union, occupying a central position among the States, being of easy access to market, north, south, and east, and railroad facilities already good, and rapidly increasing she holds out inducements to the intelligent emigrant, surpassed by none of the States. . Horticultural Meeting. The Horticultural Committee of the Marion County Agricultural Society held their regular semi-monthly meeting on Saturday, at the store room of Messrs. Birkenmayer & Brewster.

The display was fair and much interest manifested. : Jacob Birkenmayer exhibited Drum Head Cabbage, (weighing eight pounds,) Pie Plant, and a beautiful bouquet of Verbenas, Dahlias, and Roses. ; ' Note Mr. B. exhibited a half dozen stalks of Pie Plant, which averaged in weight, 17-J-ounces; in length 2 feet 4 inches, and in circumference, 5 inches. The State is challenged to beat it. Mr. Langshore exhibited Drum Head Cabbage (equal in weight to Mr. B.'s) Powell Howland exhibited Peaches Crawford's Early Melicature, Princes Yellow Prepit, Morris' Rareripe; Apples Summer ' Pearmain, Red Jcnnetin, Early Lester Sweetings, White Jennetins, Hepsivine, Kirkbridge's White, Sweet June, Bow; Pears Bell, Dearborn's Seedling, Early Sugar, Bartlett. -. -- Mr. Williams exhibited Ohio Everbearing Raspberries; Apples Early . Trenton, Caroline Sweet, Bow, Red , Aslrican, Daniel, Summer Queen, Summer Pearmain, Carolina June Red Stripe, Pie, Kirkbridge White; Pears Skinless, J ulianna, Bell, Dearborn Seedling.' John S. Mars exhibited Long Island Watermellou and Neshanock potatoes. ' ( Mr. Beehler exhibtied, Apples Kirkbridge White, Early Margaret, Carolina Red June, Summer Queen, Summer Pearmian, Wine, Pie. Evans Bristow exhibited Sweet June Apples, Summer Cymblin, Sugar and Bell Pears, Kohlrobi, Short Carrot. , Samuel Canby exhibited, Apples Sweet June, Carolina June, Queen, Pie, two kinds without name; Pears Skinless and Early Sugar. A. W. Webb exhibited Squashes Summer Crook Necked, Golden, White Cymblin, Summer Yellow Acorn; yellow and white Tomatoes; long green Cucumbers; jar of fine pickles. E. J. Howland Mountain June Potatoes. -r Mr. Thompson," from Monrovia, sent in a fine

collection of Apples, among them some that wanted names. The Bow apple was among those not named, but two other large fine varieties were not known. He had on exhibition the Virginia June, Glass, Golden Bough, Kirkbridge's White, Caroliina June, Summer Queen, and Sweet June. They were a beautiful collection and highly complimented. . . - The next meeting' will be on Saturday, August 18. Journal -. SATURDAY, AUGUST 11, 1855.

At th is season of the .year, when large crops are being garnered, and Far mers are filling their storehouses with plenty, let them remember that the Locomotive is only one dollar a year, and let those that do not take it now, commence at once. We believe ours is the only paper in the city now published for a dollar a year, and it can only be furnished at this price by having a large subscription. Send in your dollars, and take the paper for a year. jCWe hope all our readers make it an invariable rule to read the selections in every number of the Locomotive. We spend a great deal of time in collecting them, from all sources, and think, as a general thing, they are interesting, ' amusing, and instructive, with a good moral or :

maxim in them. . The piece in to-day's paper, ! I,umber of watchmen, and a resolution was pass"The Juggler Prince," was found in the South i ed sustaining tllfcm in Ue disturbance mentioned Bend Register it is somewhat after the stvle of i last wet'k- F,om tlle 121,1 of June up to wilh-

Who can beat it? .-'. iTln the estimate of the wheat crop in the United Stales, by the New York Herald, the product of Indiana is placed the fourth largest 19,000,000 bushels Ohio, Pennsylvania and Illinois, being estimated to give a larger amount. The total crop of the Union is estiniatated at 168,572,000 bushels. 5TThe financial affairs of the Greenville and Miami Railroad have been in a bad condition for some time, and suit was commenced by the bondholders to foreclose the mortgage on the road, the effect of which would be to entirely sink all the stock of the road. By a letter from the President of the road, in the Dayton Journal, we see that a new Directory have been elected, the suit been withdrawn, and there is now good prospects that arrangements will be made to save the 6tock to the holders.

Riot and Bloodshed. The election at Louisville, Kentucky, on last Monday, was the scene of riot and bloodshed, houseburnings, and other outrages, that are truly disgraceful both to the city and citizens. - By the reports in the papers some fifteen or twenty persons were killed, dwelling houses burned, and others sacked and burned. From what we can learn of the cause, from the papers of both sides, it is mainly attributable to the high party feeling, excited and inflamed to the utmost by the partisan press of that city, and to the want of a sufficient number of polls to receive the votes. , If the effect would , stop with the evil already done, the consequences would not be so bad but. it will not ; crimination and recrimination are sure to follow, and all kinds of prejudices appealed to,' to, fasten the guilt on ' the opposite side, and instil the same bitterness in other communities.' .. . -. It is too late now to advise or recommend in the Louisville case, but it is not too late for us, in our own city, to guard against similar outbreaks, and outrages ' There is no disguising the fact that there is a bitter feeling between' men of opposite parties that reason and argument have been nearly superseded by a feeling that one party is attempting to interfere with the rights and privileges of the other; and vice versa. The feeling that men may honestly differ in opinion, and may exercise their right in quietly carrying out that difference, appears to be lost sight of. What the end of this will be is hard to see it may result in other places as it has in Louisville it may not, but it is prudent to guard against and prevent it. With this view, we would call the attention of the County Commissioners to whether it would not be better to establish more polls in our city. Would it not be better to let this city vote by

wards in county and State elections, as it does in city elections?, Suppose the residents of the township, outside of the city limits, voted at the Court House, and the residents ;n the city voted at the school house in each ward, as they do in city elections, would not the effect be to keep down all excitements, and angry discussions, and prevent illegal voting? ; The additional expense of this course would be nothing, if it would have the effect of preserving the purity of the ballot box, and do away with all chance for disturbance. Others may think we over estimate this matter we do not; and would earnestly call the attention of our Commissioners to the propriety,' if not necessity, of establishing polls in all coming elections, as above suggested. SW The Railroad Journal, of New York, edited by Henry V. Poor, is in trouble.- Its libels, like chickens, have gone home to roost, and they are recoiling on the author with double effect. In the last number of Colburn's New York Railroad Advocate, we find the following paragraph, in an article of more than a column long: .. " Oliver II. Smith, Esq., has promised, before us and evidence in our office, that if the editor of the Journal will place himself in the jurisdiction of an Indiana Court, and give security for theii verdict on a suit for libel, Mr. Smith will give said editor five hundred dollars. There it is, open and fair. But, without having made such an offer, Mr. Smith would bring suit here if the Journal was a solvent concern in the event of a verdict against it. ! Doubting that, and knowing the delay of a suit, during all of which these libels would be repeated and exaggerated, Mr. Smith, as he needs would other offensive animals, lets the Journal alone. A sufficient satisfaction abides with him that the Journal has no influence wherever it is known, and it only needs to be shown up to such as have not learned its character, and who therefore credit' it with common fairness as a thing taken for granted." It would be a losing operation for the editor of the Journal to accept that SpSOO-but there is no danger of his doing so. At one time this paper exerted an extended influence, but since it has undertaken to misrepresent and falsify the public improvements of the West, and vilify the managers of them, its influence is destroyed, and these that have looked to it as a fair and honest expounder of railroad matters, are quietly leaving it, and seeking for correct information from other sources. We are informed at the Postoffice in this city, the centre and head-quarters of the railroad system of the State, that at one time there was quite a large list taken here, but there is now but six or eight copies, and some of these have been ordered to be discontinued. It will be so throughout the entire country, and it will not be long before the Railroad Journal will be but an "insignificant and needy concern." At t,le ,ast meetinfcr of the Council, the proceedings of which will be found in another co-umn. ' was determined to retain the present tinue no one knows; i but if it should continue, and the watch are necessary, by all means let them be retained but if quiet again returns, and our city is as it was during the last of June, and the first of July, the necessity for the reduction of the watch will be just as great as it was then. . From the recent developements, we have no idea that a reduction of the watch will be prudent until after the liquor law is fully settled by the Supreme Court. , This will involve an ex-: pense that the finances of the ciiy can poorly stand, but the property of our citizens-must be? protected, and the laws enforced, let the cost be what it will. itMicbael, Naltner, Mailer, and Elsesser charged with attacking the Watch, a few nights since, waived a hearing before Esquire Sullivan, on Tuesday, "and were held to bail in bonds of $1,000 each, for their appearance at the next term of the Circuit Court. j3Tll is still plenty time to plant Turnips.

Citizens Meeting. On Wednesday evening the Court House was filled with citizens, on the call announced in all the Churches last Sabbath. The meeting was organized by appointing John B. Dillon President, James Blake Vice President, and W E. Featherston Secretary. After short addresses by Mr. Dillon and Mr. Blake, a committee consisting of Messrs Thompson, Wilkins, Thorpe, E. Coburn, and Daily were appointed to report resolutions expressing the sense of the meeting. The7 presented a preamble and series of resolutions that brought out a good deal of discussion, some of it warm and angry, and at one time we were fearful it would not end peaceably; but the better sense and better judgment prevailed the preamble was stricken out, and the resolutions amended, and were then adopted by a large majority. They read as follows, as adopted:- , J ' ;'.,: ,;' 'L 1 '. , ; , Resolved. That we are highly gratified 'with the stand which the watchmen and officers of the executive and judicial departments, have taken to preserve the peace of our city, and the safety of our property, bv executing the laws faithfully.,, . .,, ' ' . " Resolved, That it is the duty of the public press to encourage, by all suitable efforts, the officers of the peace to carry out the laws; and that we do regard the editor who, either directly or indirectly, shall be guilty of aiding or directing hostility to the officers of the law, as an enemy to the best interests of society. Resolved, That all the newspapers of the city, friendly to good morals and the preservation of the public peace, be requested to publish the proceedings of this meeting.. . The following resolution was presented by Mr. Coburn, as a minority report, but was not adopted: Resolved, That ther4 is, at this time, no necessity for a public meeting to sustain our city night watch in the discharge of their duties, or to adopt any resolutions for that purpose, , ; : The great point and object of the meeting, as we understand it, was to encourage the officers and watchmen to prevent the sale of liquor, and to arrest all found intoxicated; and to this we say amen, heartily. But was there a necessity for a call for a public meeting at this time? There has been but one disturbance; or combined effort to assail, or interfere with the watchmen, and in that instance they failed, and four of .the assailants are now under bonds to appear at Court. The Mayor and Council have full power, if they think it necessary, to increase the police force at any time, or to call on any cilizen to assist in maintaining the dignity of the law. They have already, by resolution, endorsed the action of the watchmen, and pledged themselves to sustain them in the" discharge of their duties. What more could be asked? and what more could a public meeting accomplish? We have earnestly advocated the reduction of the night watch, when there was no disturbances no rows no arrests, and no apparent necessity for the full number, as a question of economy for the city; but if there is need for them, or if more are required, to preserve order protect the property or lives of citizens or enforce the laws, we are just as much in favor of retaining them,' or increasing them, while that necessity exists, as any one; and, while we are willing to leave that with our city authorities, where it of right belongs, we would still reserve the right to discuss the policy or propriety of increasing or reducing them, as we do of any public question for the interest of the city. ' As this meeting was held at a time when our community was startled by the details of the Louisville riots, there was more feeling exhibited than would have been at another time, and a decided effort on the part of some to make it a party -question. This was all wrong, and we heartily condemn it, and consider it the duty and interest of all citizens to avoid in every way from connecting politics with' any matter relating to the peace, good order, or prosperity of the city. We have always urged this, and do so more earnestly now than at any other time. .'. The following resolution was offered by Mr. Fergason, and received nearly, if not quite, a tie vote of the meeting. It appears to us it contains as much as the resolutions proposed, without any of the objectionable features. Resolved, That, as law-abiding and peaceable citizenSj we believe, that a regularly constituted and reasonable number of city policemen are requisite for the safety and protectien of life and property ; and that such police force should always be sustained by public sentiment in the faithful discharge of its leo-itimate duties.

Melancholy Accident. We learn that on Saturday, a young son of a Mr. Orms, df this county, was so terribly crushed by a fall, that he died the day following about noon. It appears that the boy, who was quite young, not ' more than twelve or fourteen yeais old, we understand, was playing around the old West Mill, a short distance north-west of the, city, and among other pranks, concluded to let a young man who was with him, pull him up by the block and tackle that was used to lift grain, &c, into the mill. The block was fastened to a projecting beam at the very comb of the roof, and between sixty and seventy feet from the ground. The boy took hold of the rope, and was hoisted away by his companion, till the hight alarmed, him, when he holloed to to the other "not to pull." He was not understood, and his companion pulled harder. . Holding fast to the rope, he was actually pulled clear up to the block, more than sixty feet from the ground. The end of the rope he was holding to being pulled into the block, his hands were forced off, and befell that fearful distance to the ground, breaking his legs and arms, and injuring him internally. He lingered till Sunday noon, and died. He is said to have been a very sprightly and intelligent boy. He was buried on Sunday. Journal. jCSTWe welcome to the triporl our old friend and acquaintance, and a contributer to our columns foryears, Mr. Geo S. Braun, who has charge of the local deparment of the Evening Republican, of this city. Mr. Braun lately gradualed at Delaware College, Ohio, taking the honors, and has already acquired n reputation as a fine literary writer. He has our best wishes for success in his favorite vocation. 3TThe County Republican Convention meets to-day to nominate candidates for county offices."

The City Cemetery. We would call the attention of our citizens to the following, from Mr. Moffatt, the City Sexton. It is a fact that our graveyards are becoming a wilderness of grass and weeds, that should be cut down and kept down ; but there is no provision for doing so, especially in the private yards, and it is to make provision, and arrange for keeping the grounds in good order, that a f ublic meeting is called for Monday afternoon. In most cities a just pride is taken in keeping " the city of the dead" in neat and attractive order, so that strangers and citizens will visit them ; it is not so in our cily, but it should be. We would like to see a full meeting on Mondav. The lot-owners in the burying grounds of this city are requested to meet at the Court House, at 4 o'clock on Monday evening, August 13th, for the purpose of adopting some plan of having the whole cemetery put in some kind of respectable order. It will be necessary to mow the whole grounds all over in a few days, and the stuff all taken off the ground. If the fall crop of grass and weeds are permitted to remain on the ground and dry there, the whole ground is liable to be burnt over, both shrubbery and enclosures. There is now, on a large portion of the ground, twenty-four inches ol dry grass, and if the fall crop is added to that and a fire gets started in it, all efforts to save one particle of shrubbery or fence would be fruitless. That portion of the ground known as Mr. Peck's ground, is grown over with iron weeds and poke-root, that will have to be dug up before the ground can be kept in order. In fact, to say it all in a few words, the whole cemetery is a by-word and a reproach to the fair fame of our otherwise beautiful city. I have mowed the ground over once this season at heavy loss to myself. Now, gentlemen, will you come forward and adopt an effectual mode of raising the means, and I will pledge myself to put on the force and do the work. A plan will be submitted to the meeting, that will raise a permanent fund to keep the ground in order without the expenditure of a single dollar additional to lot-owners. - John Moffatt, Sexton.

j3?An Irishman, named Patrick Malone, was found laying in New Jersey street, south of South street, on last Saturday night, with his skull broken by a club or stone. An inquest was held on the body on Sunday, by William Sullivan, acting coroner, but the jury could not obtain sufficient evidence to point to the murderer. They returned a verdict that he come to his death by a blow from some person or persons unknown. There had been drinking and some quarreling among the Irish on Saturday evening, but the Journal, 'n reporting the proceedings before the Coronor's Court, says : "There was no evidence connecting the deceased with this disturbance, nor any to show where he was till about 9 o'clock when he came up with two men, Patrick Maloney and Mr. Bowcher, near the Pennsylvania House, on East street. Malone spoke to Maloney, and the three started together for their boarding house. On the way the deceased suggested the propriety of getting a little "something to take" before going to bed, to which the others assented, and they started for a shanty close by Gilmore's house, where deceased had been playing cards in the evening. On arriving at the shanty (deceased) tapped at the door, but the woman inside said that her husband was gone and she could'nt let anybody in. This appeared to end the effort in that direction, and the parties started for their boarding house. Maloney and Bowcher testify to seeing a knot of three or four men at the end of the shanty, and another just opposite to it, but being strang ers, and the night dark, they did not recognize anybody. As they started away, Maloney (witness) a little in front, and Bowcher and Malone, a brick or stone coming from the end of the shanty from the group of men standing there, struck Malone on the head, and he fell forward on his face, but made no noise, "not even a moan," as the witness said. The other two took to their heels, and ran as fast as they could to their boarding house. In a few minutes they got McGrath and one or two others to go back with them, and by the time they got back, the watchmen had arrived." Judge Bicknell of New Albany, has granted an injunction, restraining the State Bank Commissioners from proceeding to organize the New Albany Branch of the new State Bank. An appeal lias been taken to the feupreme Court, but a decision cannot be obtained until after the remainder of the Branches are fully organized. The Sentinel and Journal are both cautioning the public about the eastern paper money preparing in the east for western circulation. Indiana has suffered as much from this cause as any State in the Union, and it is time for her citizens to be on their guard. ' ' '. Eighteen Hundred and Fifty-five will be entitled to golden remembrances in our national chronology, as the Year of Plenty. Never were the labors of the husbandman rewarded with such abundant crops, and, coming after a 'season, if not of famine, at least of pinching prices, t he rich and the prevailing healthiness of the country over its vast extent, afford us sufficienf cause for gratitude and joyous feelings. From all parts of the country comes the same unvarying and cheering cry of abundance. There never was such a golden harvest before. All our great staples yield more than an average harvest, and the lesser crops, the fruit, and small vegetables, which are not taken into the account of commercial economists. We have accumulated a great heap of harvest statistics during the past week some of them in the shape of private letters from vaVlina nnftc rF tlir. nllinlrT U n 1 Ctrvc nf t li t. rr . V tracts from our cotemporaries' reports intending to make a synopsis of them, but they are too numerous, and their unvarying tenor deprives them of interest. They all tell the same story of glorious weather, abundant harvest, brilliant prospects, and rejoicing farmers. And, on the back of these comforting reports, the intelligence from Europe of abundant crops there is most encouraging. The coming year must inevitably be one ff Mipfln hl-pnrlsf llfls nrtft (inncunimiitlir Mmn .

Prices must rule much lower than they have done for the past two years, but they will be high enough to afford a remunerative profit to the agriculturist.
