A ri'port has been in circulation thalihis! road had made a running arrangement with I lb? M. S. & N. L, and would abandon the i road wes. of this place. Wo have taken j soiae p:uns to post ourselves on this sub ject, and aiG authoiizei to say, that such is not the ease, except for a short time. The Northern Indiana road no doubt would be glad to make such an arrangement, but we conclude that it will never be effected. It is well known by the friends of the N. I. K. I', that the Pittsburgh road will be one of the very L-:-i in the country and henc?, their anxietv to make the arrangeinent, in order that it may bo regarded as a switch, or side-track, of theirs. The work on the Pittsburg road, west of this place, is j progressing slowly, and may possibly have to In? suspended for a time, but that it will be completed to Chicago, there is no ques lion. There has been a great amount i ligunng io nave me roaa stop otthu place, but the Directors have positively refuseu to accede to any proposals or inducements which have been laid before them. The road from Pittsburg to this place is in good running order; the trains come in on time, and have no accidents, and trarelelers generally speak well of the road and its officers. The grading west of this place could be Am ? . 1 1 .1 , ..... 1 finished by cold weather, if the company had means to justify the contractors in put ting on a strong force. There have been nearly a half million of dollars spent on ' the hue west of this nlarr- tl 7 -wx.sV II V conclude that there is no doubt but what i: will be finished through to Chicago. C,I cV C.

proposed arrangement been enlered into between the officers of the Ft. Wayne road and the Lnporte and Northern Indiana rceid, there would have been no probability that the road from here to Peru would ever have been built; but as that arrangement ha.3 failed, we see nothing to prevent it. from being conpletcJ, provided the stock hollers will consent to give up all their interest in the lands belonirin to the com-! pany, and to the work which has been done. We are not inside of the ring, but we are inclined to the opinion that were the stock-holders to consent to such an arrangement, that the old company would be disibmded anj a nc one oXxt which would build the load. Marshall county has a deep interest in the speedy completion of this road, a-ide from tho etock that many of her citizens have taken, and all are anxious to ßee it built; unless there U some plan, not known by the public, wo predict that the road will never be built unless f,Jie gtock -holders consent to giro up their entirn interest to a new company. Wo should !.) glad to learn that wo are in error in relation to the designs of certain ostensible frioudst of the stock-holders, b'tt we fear not. The question for the

stock-holders to decide is. would thev pre-

1 I fer giving up their interest, and have the ! road built, or hold on and have no road. i ! In either case there is a poor show for those ; who have given their money and lands, to ' hope to be benefitted only by their property : beinif enhanced in value should the road be i finished.

In the House of Commons, on Thursday, Mr. Roebuck moved resolutions reprobatory of the Persian war. He supported his motion in a bitter speech. Lord Palmerston replied, and tho resolu tions were rejected, by a vote 18 against r.r On Friday, Lord Brougham moved for an address praying the Queen to discoun tenanco all measures tending to promote the 6lave trade. Lord Clarendon said the government would not hesitate to uso the power invested in it to effectually etop thi dar trade.

It is generally supposed that Parliament will bo prorogued in three weeks or a fortnight. The government of Great Britain intends sending to India the steam squadron and a considerable force of artillery by the most speedy conveyance at hand, and, in addition to the troops already mentioned, the force that has been appropriated for the Chinese operations had all been intercepted

and ordered for service in India. This , . . . . . . . i force is to be compensated for in China b a L 1 ,. . . , . ,. , , i battalion of marines, to be dispatched to Hong Kong without delay.

Marcy's privateering letter, ! which it calls a bold, comprehensive pro posal, expresses regret that England did not close at once with the suestion there in made. France. The French news is unimportant. SrAtx. Two war steamers are about to sail from Cadiz for Havana, taking out instructions for (Jen. Concha from the government, also conveying more troops and materials of war for the expedition against Mexico, which hpain will certainly undertake unless she receives satisfaction from tho KeDublic. Italt. Tranquillity prevails. It was reported that the movement was planned in i London, and that the Italian courts, backed by Austria and France, were about to protest against the asylum which England offers to the troubles ime refugees. Arrival or the Ariel. New York, July 29. The steamship Ariel has arrived with London dates to the 15th. Immediately on tho receipt of the disastrous Indian news at London, a Cabinet council was held, and Sir Colin Campbell was dispatched to India to take command of the army left vacant by the death of Gen. Anson. Advices from China state that Canton was suffering from famine. A battle had occurred between the imperial troops and rebels. India. Fourteen thousand troops are already under orders, and would start immediately. Reinforcements will follow as soon as ships and stores can be provided. Reinforcements were also on the way from Bombrv. Madras and Cevlon. All the in lluential communities of Calcutta, inclu- j j ding Mohamedens, had presented an address to the government with the assurance of loyalty. Lord Klgin and suite arnved at Sinapore on tho 3d. China. A battle was fought above Foo-Chow-Poo. The result is not certainly known, but it is supposed that the Imperialists were victorious. Sir John Bowring intimates that a compensation for losses sustained by British subjects would be demanded of tho Chinese government. From Mexico. Washington, Aug. 1. New Orleans papers of Sunday are at hand. They contain Veru Cruz datc3 to the 21st, and city of Mexico dates to the 13th. As far as heard from, the elections are all favorable to Comonfort. It was believed that Juareza, progressionist, was elected President of the Special Court. 1,1 lhe election for depuiies in the city of Mexico, on tho ICth, tho liberals were triumr1,alt' - 4 . . . in, . 1 . . j ... cerious aiarm was leu regarding me state of aflaits with Spain. Tho Secretary of the Interior had addressed circulars to" the Governors of the States on the subject. It! is stated that a rupture was then inevitable, and he called on tho Governors to hold j the national guards ready for orders, and to transmit reports of their numbers and deficiency to head-quarters. The Rio National says that, in case of war, Comonfort will head the army, and that Juareza will act as President in his stead. The news of the war with the Pinto Indians was conflicting. Gen Alvarez had not succeeded in subduing them, and it was reported that his health had about given awav. General Lopez La Vega, who was formerly exiled, has olTered his services to Comonfort, in case of a war with Spain. Vera Cruz papers were silent on the sub ject of vomito. Tho revolutionary movements at Jalapa, in favor of Santa Anna, had caused the a was generally believed that Santa Anna was in Cuba. A dispatch from San Pierre Migneto. dated the 27th, states that the bargue Mona co, of Warren, Maine, from Gottenburg for New York, was totally lost near Burine on the 21st. together with 50 Swedish passengers. The captain, his wife, tho crew, and six passengers were saved. The eix passengers vero sent on to New York in tho brig Gilles, by the American Consul. mm The IVcu. Tho steamer North American has arrived at Quebec with Liverpool dates to tho 15th inst., four days later than previous advices. Cotton was buoyant, and an advance of ono &ixteenth of a penny on all qualities is reported in the newppapers. A circular, however, contradicts this, and states that the market was firm at previous rates. Brcadstufls are again lower. Tea was firm and acme, whilo coffee had slightly tkcliued. It was expected that

the Bank of England would reduce the rate of discount on the 15th. Lord Palraerston

had refused to submit the circular of the late Secretary Marcy on privateering to the House of Commons, urging some official technical objections. The officers of the frigate Niagara had been entertained at dinner by the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce. Nothing important had occurred in France. Spain and Italy were again tranquil. Advice3 from India, dated at Calcutta on the 7th and at Bombay on the 15th of June. The native mutiny was extending and embraced twentv-three regiments of i sepoys. Outside of Delhi the insurgents were defeated by government troops; but they still held possession of the city, and had cut all the telegraph wires running thence to Agra. The army had remained faithful in Bombay and) Madras. Thirty thousand men had ben lost to the Bombay ; army, ihe steamship hrm, trom liombay for China, was lost, with a cargo valued at 61,000,000. From China we have Hong Kong dates to the 25th of May. The United States frigate San Jacinto had gone up tho river at Canton, in company with a llotilla of British gunboats, in order to attack ihe Chinese wai junks. The steamship Illinois, from Aspimvall 19ih inst., arrived yesterday with the semimonthly California mails, nearly a million and a half iD treasure, a full complement of passengers, and news from all parts of the Pacific coast. The total export of gold from San Francisco for the last half of 1857 amounted to $23,742,589 showing a decrease of 6472,322 as compared with the first half year of 1C56. The tonnage return has decreased, while the freight chanres show a decrease of more than a million dollars. The net gain of population during the past six months has been only 4,235, more than one half of which is made up of Chinamen. These statistics certainly do not speak very flatteringly for the material prosperity of California. Business generally was much depressed. Mining operations were as "s successful as ever, and especial attention was being paid to quartz operations. The politicians were actively preparing for the gubernatorial campaign. Delegates to the Democratic Slate Conveli d been chosen, a-jil the nomination and election of Mr. Weiler for Governor was regarded as certain. The Republicans would hold their convention on the 8th of July. The Americans were exhibiting some little vitality. To tlic Teachers of lYorthcni Indiana. A number of teachers, feeling the necessity of a gensral waking up of teachers, and all others, on the subject of education in Northern Indiana, have concluded to call a convention to be in La Porte on the Ifth, 20th, and 21st of August, 1857, for the purpose of forming a Northern Indiana Teachers Institute. As this will be an important meeting, it is desirable that all interested attend, to aid in its formation. Ample provisions will be made for the free entertainment of all persons from a distance All editors friendly to the cause of education, in the north part of the State, will please give publicity to the above. F. P. CUMMINS. ! R. M. JOHNSON. V Com. JASPER PACKARD LaPorte, July, 1857. jt-fTJust as our paper goes to press we are informed that the Committee appointed I by the citizens of this county, to solicit subscription towards the completion of the P. F. W. & C. R. It., have negotiated the sale of the Company's bonds to the amount of : 625,000, with a prospect of '?1C,000) more. This will nearly complete the grading from Plymouth, West, to the crossing of the M. C. R. R., which, we are informed, only requires in cash, exclusive of the stock that the several contractors take $00,000. The citizens raised P. T. Clifford, who is pushing his works forward with all possible speed, 61,000 to assist in paying off his men, on Saturday last. With the interest now manifested by tho citizens of Porter County there can be no doubt of tha earlv completion of this road. Porter Democrat. From the( O. S.) Presbyterian. A South-Side View. The Ciciunati Christian Herald, a Newschool abolition paper, publishes a lettei trom tho Kev. Ü. Mills oi iventucky one oi the Sonthern party, in which he gives his views of the secession movement and its probable results. After stating that a fow had left tho Cleveland Assembly, because slavery was a sore subject with them, and they did not wish to be troubled about it, Mr. Mills says: "But tho great body of us leave you for another reason. We are conscious of having done our whole duty, to both master and slave; and we want peace. Wo wish to be free from the embarrassment ot a connection which prevents us from doing more then we have ever done for I he slave. Many a time when the attempt has been made by us to elevate and instruct the negro, to bring both him and his owner under the influence of tho gospel, men have cried out that we were connected with abolilion'sts. This has created just about such an excitement around us, as would bo the result if you were to publish us a9 slave-catchers at the Morth. Our Old-school brethren havo managed this matter very differently. They have said mthing in their Assembly , but at home they havo not been riu'.et on the subject. They have, in most instances, done their whole duty to tlje master and slave, as far as thy nero able. Years will not BufBce to put us on a level with them in their iuflu

ence against this system. The Northern portion of our Church has simply misconceived and misrepresented them, when they have thought and said otherwise. And there was no nescessity for a division in our Church, if all the North and South would have exercised a little more patience and forbearance. But believing that these vir

tues are forgotten, we are going to seek! peace elsewhere, thus far now, I have given you facts. You may find some editors and preachers here who will probably gainsay it. But if they do, it is because, like most of their several professions, they! 1.1! . i . . s iear puonc sentiment, ana are trying to stand so straight that they lean over on the other side. "And now if you want what we conjecture will be tho result of our separation, I can give you the prevalent opinion. It ha3 been for some time pretty well understood that you North ren brethen are to have large accession from our 01d-sehool brethren at the North, in exchange for us But when you come, as come you must, to meet the question between voluntary societies and ecclesiastical Boards, you will find trouble between Congregational friends on the one hand, and your new-made allies on the other. The votes and influence of those of us now leaving you would probably do you good service then, but we expect just about that time to be somewhere else. Tho great body of us, sooner or later, will fill into the Old-school Church at the South. But there are some of us that cannot preach Limited Atonement, and tho Imputation of Adam's Sin, as they understand it." Washington, July 28. Judge Stiles, District Attorney Hockaday and Marshal Dotren, Federal officers for Utah, join in a card emphatically contradicting the reports from that Territory, extensively published in the newspapers, which charge David F. Burr, late Surveyor General of Utah, with having commitied frauds upon the Government by overchanging incidental expenses and falsifying the position of the Mormons. There is a report in circulation that Brigham Young has written a letter to President Buchanan, expressing his gratification at the prospect of being relieved from the Governorship of Utah, and promising that the Federal officers to be sent thither should be kindly treated, provided they attended to their legitimate business. St. Louis, July 29. The Republican says that E. Bolton, the Deputy Clerk of the Supreme Court of Utah, has sent his affidavit to the Attorney General, denying Judge Drummond's statements respecting the destruction of the records of that court. He says they are all safe in his custody and nobody has interfered with them. New York, August 1. The Collins steamer Atlantic sailed at noon for Liverpool with 57 passengers, including, Gov. Wright, of Indiana, Minster to Prussia, and 364,400 in speice. The Vanderbilt also left at noon, for Southampton and Havre, with 180 passengers and $500,000 in specie. The screw steamship Harmonia also sails to-day for Harmonia. The Police Commissioners commenced balloting for the seventh Commissioner today, with the following result: Cyrus Curtiss, 3; Royal Phelps, 2; James "V. Barker, 1. Twelve ballots have thus far been held. It is feared no choice will be made to-day. Difficult! at Bloomingtox. We understand that a difficulty occurred at Bloominglon on Wednesday, between Judge Hughes and Judge Buskirk growing out of the examination of some "Regulators," now going on. Hughes is for the defense and Buskirk for the prosecution. The latter struck at the former with a cane, which he warded off, but which hit him on the back of the hand. Hughes drew a pistol and fired at Buskirk, but some one present threw up the barrel 5 he was in the act of firing, and the ball 1 lg?d in the ceiling. These are the main facts, as we heard them, but they may not be true in every particular. A very angry and excited state of feeling prevails at Bloomington regarding the doings of the Regulators and their examination.
