THE BANNER

WM. J. BIK.S, Editor k Proprietor. FLYJIOUTII IXD. Thursday Morning, Aug. 18, 1853. Advertisements to insura insertion, must be handed in by Tuesday preceding the day of publication. "With the present' crowded state of our columns, we art compelled to decline the publication of Ws. communication. As soon as we get room, we will look to it. One more week after this, and we shall Rive our readers more reading matter than the Banner has contained for man J months before. Thi Western Bank. The officers of this institution are now here completing their arrangements preparatory to enter ing into business. Thompson's Bank Nte Reporter of the first ins:., thus speaks of it, and thjse having charge of its affairs; New Bask. The Western Bank, of Plymouth, Indiana, is a new institution recently organized under the General Banking Law of that State, and just commencing business, of which S. Stimpson. Esq., is president, and H.Ward, cashier. The circulation is amply secured by the hypothecation, with the State authorities, of Indiana and Virginia six per cent State Bonds. Cipital, 8100.000. The high standing, for worth and financial ability of the gentlemen having charge of this Bunk where they are known and appreciated, will secure for it the confidence of the community. Plymouth Bank. We perceive by Thompson's Bunk note Reporter, of the 1st of this month, that the notes of the Plymouth Bank in New York, are quotad, with a few of the other individual banks in this State, at one per cent discount one quarter per cent above the State Bank paper of this State, and the Indiana State Stock Bunk at Laporte. the latter of which hs any amount of its notes in circulation amongst our citi aeas. Here's a Job. See. the advertisement in to-day's paper for Bonk Agents, Wheat! Wheat!! See what Pomerov & Brother say in relation to this article. They aUr talk about a little of the needful, which they would be glad to consider "as good as wheat." Swamp Land Sales. There have been disposed of in this county, of those lands S.497 acres, and the gross receipts for which amount to but $10,809. This report includes the sale on the 8.h instant and from that time to the 16th at privat sale. The day cannot be far distant, when every acre oi tn unoccupied lands m Northern Indiana, will be brought into active cultivation or use in some way and by the drainage of the Swamp Lands. improve the general health of the coun try, and afford comfortable homes for many who are now destitute of them. The rapid strides now taking by capital and e nterprize in the construction of Railroads, the erection of manufacturing establishments, and other local improve ments, have a tendency to bring into active demand, lands of the most inferior quality; and in less than five years from this time, we expect to see those lands now buried in water deep enough to swim and mire a horse, surrounding the industrious husbandman in his comfortable cottage dwelling upon the higherground. with their substantials and luxuries in tie richest profusion affording him encouragement and a rich regard in return for his care for them. So mote t be. The Force In noticing the variou improvements in this cour.ty, as a result of the industry and enterprise of our citizens, the Iron Forge establishment. lo cated some seven miles from this place, has been overlooked. For some time past. many of our citizens doubtless looked upon it as rather a hazardous enterprise, in consequence of the demand at home not affording sufficient patronage to render its continuance a source of profit; and there being no suitable mpans of transportation, which would justify its proprietors in seeking a distant market. But since the prospects for its future progress are brightening, those controlling these works, have looked over the books of the concern since its commencement a few years ago. and find that it has paid about sixty thousand dollars. It is often the case ti.at men undertaking such vorks with too great anticipations in the future, become discouraged, because their highest expectations are not fully realized, and abandon them just upon the eve of their becoming profits b!e.

Michigan Ahead. The returns of th

votes given at the recent election I1 Michigan, for and against the adoption ol the law prohibiting the manufacture an: sale of intoxicating beverages, show k majority of 20,030 votes in favor of it adoption. Every county in the State except one, gave a majority for it. This will be Indiana's next step, and she will take the stand, just as sure as the matter is submitted to the people. There is no use in attempting to avert it. The Reo JNIan. Uut occasion ally viaited by some of the remnant oi the Pottawatomie tribe of Indians, who still linger about their early homes in this county, and in their intercourse and deal ing with the whites, no one with th least discernment can fail to notice that from their backward, diffident and even humble demeanor, they look upon the successors of their tribe, "with fear and trembling."' In order that they could be permitted to remain and enjoy the benefit of their reserved lands, they were taught that they must become civilized. and learn to cultivate the soil and labor as do their white neighbors. They re member aud faithfully keep their pledge. and their deportment is such as to increase the regret that so many good citi zens were lost in thttr removal west of the Mississippi. Had we retained them amongst us, and with true philanthropic hearts, taught them lessons cf civilization the br.auties of civil and religious liberty, and how to enjoy them, we should have a better population thän we Siidll ever be abla to realize from a stubborn immigrant pauper population from European shores. Our August term of the Circuit Court is now iu session, Judge Slanficld on the Bench. John U. Peltit, Esq., has received a democratic nomination for Judge of the llth judicial circuit, and will no doubt be elected. He now holds the place by appointment. A daily line of stages are now running from Logansport west, to the New Albany and Michigan City Riil Road. THE BANNLrv. Our acknowledgments are due to many of our cotemporaries of the Press for their kind notices, upon again meeting us in our old position. Some of them have a word to our citizens in relation to their opportunity of sustaining a good county paper, and as we are entirely too modest :o engage in self-commendation, we insert a few of the notices, that our patron? may go to work advisedly, in increasing our subscription list, The Plymouth Binner has been sold by its late proprietor, Mr. Corbaley, to Wm. J. Burns, who has recently settled in that town for the practice of his profess ion the law. Mr. Corbaley's impaired health, and his increasing duties as Clerk rendered this step necessary; and though we patt with him Editorially with sincere regret, we are gratified that he has old out to such an experieucedand worthy successor. Mr. Burns, some years ago, edited a paper at Lafayette with decided ability; and wielding as he does, 'the pen of a ready writer," he cannot fail to make the Banner an interesting and instructive paper. South Bend Register. W. J. Burns. Esq., has become editor and publisher of the Plymouth Banner, Marshall county, Indiana. The major is a veteran editor and practical printerand will get up a good paper with half a chance. The people of Marshall should not fa il to second his efforts. Peru Sentinel. Plymouth Banner. We notice in the last uumbi r of ttiis paper, that brother Corba ley has retired from the editorial labors of that paper, which are assumed by Col. Bokns. Mr. B. is a ready writer, aud will make a paper worthy of the support of our Marshall county neighbors. Laportc Whig. Newspaper Change. Our old friend. Wm. J. Burns, formerly of the Wabash Atlas, at Lafayette, has purchased the Plymouth Banner office, and taken charge of that paper. We gladly welcome him back to the tripod, and wish him great success in his new position. -Ind Herald. Washington, August 13. Com. Sherlock's dispatches were under consideration in the Cabinet yesterday, and the session was a prolonged one. The Mayor of this city has called n meeting to take measures for the relief of the sufferers at New Orleans. The steamer Black Warrior from Havana, the 9th, arrived this morning. The news is of no importance. The steamship Washington sailed at noon to-day for Southampton and Bremen, with 100 passengers aud 6239,000 in specie. NEW YORK ITEMS. New York, August 13, The contributions in this city fr New Orleans amount to 820.000. $2.700 was subscribed by Philadelphia merchants last evening. The contributions from Baltimore reach 85,000. The new steamer Louisiana left for

Brazos with five companies of troops for ( the Rio Grande. Much anxietv in thiscitvis felt for the disappearance of Christian Ilouion, sec- j nd officer of the Danish frigate, Sarato- j i,a. He visited the Crystal Palace on Ihursdar morning, since which time nothing has been seen or heard of him. Twenty-five persons were killed yesterday from sun stroke. Several deaths

0 occurred from the same cause at Brooklyn, Williamsburg, and other towr.s in this vicinity. 'The Elections. There seems to be so little interest manifested in political matters by the members of all political parties, that it is difficult to get anything like detailed returns from the States which have lately held elec- ; tions. In Kentucky, it is yet uncertain whether the Whigs have two major.ty, or that the parties have five each of tl e Congressmen. The Senate and House of Representatives are both Whig. InTenressee, we understand the democratic candidate for Governor has succeeded; and in Missouri, Benton aud AntiBenton candidate? seem to have en wired all the fight, and of course one or the other of these factions will win the day. Occasionally they klip a Whig into some little office. Supreme Court Reported. There is hut one State oflice to fill at the election on the llth of October next Reporter of the decisions for the Supreme Court. Albert G. Porter the present incumbent by appointment, and J. W. Gordon, vi. d.t Esq., both of Indianapolis. We have known Mr. Porter for many years, and whilst pursuing his collegiate course, he stood in the front rank of his classes from the time he entered college until he graduated with the highest honors. Since that time, in the study and practice of his profession, he has pursued an honorable and high minded course such an one as deserves the richest reward. Let him have it. The report that the yellow fever was very bad in Philadelphia, is contradicted. Phonetic Convention. The teachers of Northern Indiana, and the friends of reform in spelling, generally, are respectfully invited to attend a Convention to be held at South Bend, on the 26th inst. Several Addresses are to be delivered. South Cond llcgistcr. This paper of lust Thursday came to us i:l its enlarged and improved form. and must fully meet lh? expectations of its numerous patrons in the way of promised improvements. Its continued success and prosperity is no secret at all. In its able and generous proprietor. Scuyler Colfax, the people of Northern Indiana have long since recognized ample qualifications for the successful accomplishment of any enterprise in which he may engage. Thk Eclectic Medical Journal. -We have been favored with the August number of this work, published at Cincinnati, by Messrs. J. R. Buchannan and R. S. Newton, two of the faculty of the Eclectic Medical Institute of that city. The subscription price of the Journal is $2, in advance. The Institution and its Journal appear tobe in a prosperous condition. Amongst our exchanges the past week, we perceived a very neat mammoth sheet published at Peru. III., by J. F. 6c N Linton. "With the Senior we have sufficient acquaintance, to commend him to the liberal support and patronage of the citizens of Peru. His industry and capacity justly entitle him to their favorable notice. Here's the Banner, Lint. New Ohlf.ans. August 11. The fever spreads with frightful rapidity. Many have it who have already had it. In one store four clerks died on the same day. The number of deaths on Wednesday were 224, of which 161 were of fever. What an Editor Dots not Like. 1. To pay postage on a letter ordering a discontinuance of a paper, when perhaps the subscriber is in arrears. 2. To pay postage on communications perhaps not more than ten miles in length whe.e none but the writer'? iuterest is concerned. . 3. To be in debt, and without the means to pay, because subscribers will not pay. 4. Tosend a paper six months or a year to one who is dead or moved away, and the postmaster or some one else taking them out and reading them, and then after all, receive a letter from the postmaster, saying, "Stop your paper seut to Mr. , he is clad," or "moved away," but not a word about pay. 5. To have n man take the paper until he is in debt eiu,ht or nine dollars, and then süp off to parts unknown, without paying, leaving the ptstmaster to gir notice of the slide to the editor. At the Philadelphia Female Medical College applications of forty pupils for admission next October have, alttady been received, and the proipects of a large clasi are very promisiug.

Foreign. We hive Loudon dates of July SO Our latest items of interest may be found in the following: The Sultan had signed an agreement dictated-by France, England and Austria, and would send an embassador with it to St. Petersburg. Beyond this, nothing had transpired. Ths parties protested

against the occupation of the Principali ties. The Bourse regards peace as secure, and continues firm. A Hungarian escaped from Beverout at Smvrua. He went on board an Austiian steamer, where he was arrested by the captain and clfimed as an Austrian sub ject. He jumped overboard, and applied to the Anirri an consul for protection. which was given him, and the captain was ordered to deliver up the refu, 's ' wife and children. Italy is in a very feverish state, especially in the Kornau territory, and it is near an insurrection. Riots had taken '!ace at Bj,0S"a. Ratenna. and other places on account of the high prices of bread. Rjvenna was reported to be in a state cf siege. Numerous assaults had takun place among them. Gen. Concha had written an exposition of the maladministration of affairs in Cuba, and asked permission of the government to publish them. Inhuman and Diabolical. A correspondent of the St. Louis Republican, writing from Jasper C). Mo., details the following horrible storv of crime: On Friday night, the 15th of July, two negroes, one belonging to Mr. D tie, ami the other a runtway belonging to Mr. Scott, went to the house of Dr. Fihke. who lives four miles from Cdilhege, One stationed himself in the , corner of the field, and the other went to the house aud told the Doctor that his master Mr. D.J was very sick, and wanted him to come over immediately. The doctor took up his hat and started, the npgro following: and so soon as they reached the. spot where the runaway was stationed, both negroes fell on him, one with a club, the other with an axe and killed him. His head was completely split open with the axe. The villains then went to the house and both ravished the wife. They then killed her, then killed the child, then robbed the house, and set fire to and burned it up. Dile's negro has bee: taken, and confessed these facts. Here was every crime that human beings could possibly commit at the same time murder, rape, robbery and arson. The cup of iniquity is lull to the brim. The atrocity of the deed is unparalleled in th annuls ol crime. Dale's negro produced $240 that he had token from 'he house, and sai.i that the o;i:7 J:;d ot fire pieces, but did not know whether they werelilror gold. At last accounts, the people ol Jasper were scouring the country In search of the runaway; and so sure as they catch him, they will relieve the courts o! all trouble with them by burning loth at the stake. The editor of a western paper having lent an axe to one of his subscribers, the borrower unfortunately broke off the handle. On returning it, the man said, you can easily get it fixed.' Yes,' replied the editor, 'but that will cost at least a quarter of a dollar.' Well,' rejoined the borrower, 'if you ain't rather small fcr an editor! Here's the quarter, hut I'll thank you to stop my paper at once.' 'Come, sonny; gel up,' said an indulgent father to a hopeful foii the other morning; 'remember that the early Liid catches the first worm.' What do I care for the worms? replied the hopeful. 'Mother won't let me go fishing.' Funnt to the Last. Some of the Whig office holden decease in a very jolly manner. A decapitated 'route agent on the mail line between Boston and Burlington, via Vermont Central Railroad, who temporarily fills the place of his Democratic successor, now adds ed to the word route' whenever he s'gns his name to a way bill. It is not a bid head that jokes 60 cleveily after it's off. Boston Po&t. One of the best runedi s for chronic diseases is industry. A few months since, the managers oi the Albanv Alms' House attached a Lubor Institute to the establishment. Since then, the number of sick paupers in the city have fallen off tweuty percent. Every time you avoid doing wrong, you increase your inclination to do right. Why is a man that docs not bet, as bad as a man that does? Because he's no better. When the venerable Pebblesworthy was in NewYoik, he asked a pipe-smoking old Dutchman the origin of the name of Tammany Hall.
