See new advertisements School notice, new Tailor's Shop, &c. Lite dispatches of interesting Foreigu news, we think will afford our readers a greater amount of information, than anything we could write this week, especialIj as we have nothing to write about. End Of the Vci'im;. Four more numbers conclude the present volume of the Banner, and we are making arrangements to enlarge it to a double medium size, without increasing the price. To enable, us to do so, we only ask an additional number of subscribers. Will our friends aid us in the effort We have prospectuses for those who will use them to advantage. k u'ood ItCIIl. It will be perceived by reference to a "Notice" in another column, that our fellow townsmen, Messrs. Pome30T & BaoTHER, have contracted to make ihiity miles of the Cincinnati, Peru and Chicago Rail Road, ready for the reception of the iron, and also for the erection of the Depot buildings at this place. We are not advised as to the particulars of their arrangement, but at a reasonable estimate, should suppose the work assigned to P. Ac B. could not fill far, if any. short of $12,000 per mile, and their work commencing five miles north of Rochester, and extending north of the Kankakee River inclusive, makes Plymouth the center of operations. At these figures, it will be perceived that during the next twelve months, about three hundred and tixty thou t and dollars will be scattered amongst oor citizens, exclusive of the amount expended in building the Depot, which will probably cost S250.000 more. The undertakers in this instance are old settlers, and men of sterling enterprise the senior of the firm having been actively engaged in a heavj business for many years erecting manufacturing mills Beef and Pork packing in the Dry Goods business nearly all the while and occasionally in and out of office, from Justice of the Peace to a seat iu the State Senate; but the last undertaking of this firm, is one which our citizens should all rejoice to see prove as profitable a3 it is surely commendable; and, as it is an enterprise from which a general and public benefit is tobe derived by our citizens, we hope they may be amply sustained in the undertaking. In addition to their own availables, we have it from good and reliable authority, that backing to any amount necessary is at their disposal. Tb!3Li;azinei. Graham's and Peterson's for February have been received, and as usual are both interesting numbers. C. D. Clark has resigned the Presidency of the Plymouth Bank at this place, and W. J. Moir takes charge of its affairs. Same person, we don't know who, nor do we care, has said to some other -per-ton, that the Banner has said "that none but drunkards aud Democrats oppose the Maina Law.' This is an infamous and we believe a willful falsehood, and we rxpect the only censure we shall receive hereafter, will be for noticing it at all. It is too contemptible to merit any notice, and what estimate should be placed upon its author, if it has any, we leave for the future to discover. A. Famine in Eukofe. Advices hare bteu received at Washington, as we are privately advised, from one of the most distinguished of our Ministers abroad, that throughout Europe the most serious apprehensions are entertained of a famine in the approaching spring, owing to the short crop of breadstuff at the late harvest. It is certain that the French Government bare for some time been storing away large supplies of grains, and havt prohibited importations to other countries, while it is known that the short crop of other countries is creating similar anxiety among tkeir rulers. Cincinnati Enquirer, Solon Bohician. Indiana hit furnished a lion in the author of hot corn. Mr. Robinson acquired this name by his liberality in treating traveller! particularly to ntw corn. ' Robinson' roasting aar became very generally known, and he was called "Hot Corn Robtnsoa.V Horace Greeley met him some were in the West and engaged him to w.lte him for the Tribune. In that paper appeared a series of papers called "Hot Corn. H The heroine was a girl of the "Five Points' who cried in the streets that rery edible commodity iLolinson introduced her. .soma time ajy to a lsrfe audience. He adopted

j end educated the young merchant. It is said that lie is writing a new series of

stories tobe called Suceotash, or , Beans and Corn, and to be dedicated to the Rev. Mr. Peas, who is connected with the. Five Points mission. ' Robinson once lived in Madison, Indiana. Those who know him here say that he has a heart as big as all out doors. Hi3 style is clear, pure and pathetic. He writes like Dtkens delicately and chastely. He is now in his seventy-first year. He wears a long white beard like a warm hearted old patriarch as he is. In his old age he retains all the elasticity nf the spirit of youth. He is the most celebrated man just now in our literary Indiana horizon. Evansville Enquirer. ARRIVAL OF THE NIAGARA. General War Considered Inevitable. Halifax, Jan. 23. The steamer Niagara left Liverpool the 7th, arrived enroute for Boston at this port this A. M. .Reports unusually heavy weather during her passage, which has prolonged to 16 days. Great Britain, France ant! Belgium had been visited with a heavy snow storm the heaviest in many years, and' apprehensions were entertained of a flood from melting snow and rin. The latest accounts are of a character to leave, but little hope in the public mind that the Czar will accept the last proposition of the Western powers, ind this view of the matter is almost universally entertained at Constantinople As a natural consequence of a greailj increased probability of a general war, English stocks and . breadstuff markets are greatly excited, and Consuls closed on Friday at a decline of seven eighths to one per cent, on last week. Breadstuffs throughout Great Britain had been more excite l than at any previous time since the great famine, and prices had largely advanced. The advance for flour for the week is quoted by some resectable houses at 3s per bbl, and none quote actiial advance less thin 2s. Wheat has advanced almost beyond precedent, ranging from lOd to 14 J per bu. of 70 lbs. Market for Indian com less excited than flour and wheat, but prices have advanced from 18J to 2s per quarter. Cotton market continued being firm at previous quotations, with transactions to the extent of 3.000 bales per week ending Jan 6th. Provision market continues quiet and without material change in prices. FURTHER BY THE NIAGARA. GENERAL EUROPEAN WAR CERTAIN. New York, Jan. 23. The Paris Moniter contains a circular , from the Minister of Foreign Affairs. He advises all French legations on the I eastern question in a moderate but very firm style. He declares that England, Austria and Prussia solemnly recognized territorial integrity of the Ottoman Empire. Authentic papers slate that the French government were dissatisfied with the evasive conduct of Austria, aud had addressed a strong letter of remonstrance, iuiimating that France will extend aid to Hungary, Italy, &c. Paris papers report that the Cz-ir had given orders for immediately crossingThe Danube. The Sultan declared to the French embassador that he would rather abdicate than accept assistance against his subjects. Great excitement prevailed at Constantinople, and a mob of 30,000 had assembled, declaring that the Constitution had been violated by the Council. Definite information relative to the action of the Czar is daily expected. London intelligence from St. Peters burg of the 24th. stateF that the Emperor formally rejected the Vienna protocol and note of the fifth, but consents tu examine the Turkish proposition of the 20th, although he refuses to recognize the European intervention in Russia and Turkish affairs. Instructions to commanders of fleets are that in meeting Russian ship3 they will in the names of their respective governments, request Russian commanders to return to Sebastopol, where they will find further instructions from the Russian government. On refusal to re'ursi, force will be used. A Russian despatch says that the Turkish army in Asia is totally disorganized, and many troops killed report not credited. The London Observer says that agents are on the way to the United States to purchase ships and ammunition for the Russians in England. There is much .indignation against Prince Albert, particularly by the independent paper of the public voice, protest that he is the tool of Russia, and Aberdeeu under hi ' influence states to the British Cabinet that in Russia, Austria and Germany, matters are expected to come before Parliament soon. France At the New Year's leve the Emperor addressed the foreign Ambassadors, hoping to be able to maintain the relations subsisting betwesn France and their respective governments, assure the Ottoman Ambassadors of his good wishes and efforts for Turkey. The Times correspondent reports 700. 000 Frenchmen ready for the Turkish camp when required. Napoleon deserts English alliance and affairs consents to French " annexation of Belgium and Egypt, the Czir promising als' tu abandon the Bourbon cause. The King cf Balgiura decreed the total

suppression of important duties oc cool until further notice. Sweden and Denmark hive issued circulars declaring their neutrality, come what mav. -

ARRIVAL OF THE ATLANTIC. New York, Jan. 27. The Atlantic arrived at . 10i o'clock, with Liverpool dates to the 11th, four days latter. Flour has advanced lsGJ. Western canal 44s; Ohio 45s. . Corn,-white 53s; yellow 50s. White wheat 12sGJ. Provisions Demand fair; holding firm; moderate sales. The important news by the Niagara is confirmed. Dec. 30th. part of the allied fleet entered the Black Sea; they were prevented entering soouerby tempests. At the latest dates, the Russian ambassadors had not withdrawn from London or Paris. The Russian Minister at Paris, is reported to have said that he would wail further instructions from his gov ernment. From Vienna, it is stated, seemingly authentically, that Austria had asked Russia if she would consent to European protection over Christians in Turkey. To this the Czar replied that he would consent to no interference whatever. between himself and Turkey. On tha Danube, little is doing, owing to the weather. There had been three slight skirmishes oae between forage escort and Cossacks: another, a sally from Sistona. The third action was between asteatritr, two gun boats and two shore batteries. The Turks were successful. There is -a report that the Turks had stormed Karacafat, which, though probable, is not confirmed. From Asia, we have not one word of later news. The Russians had warned their shipping not to venture out of pert unless under protection of convoys to be organised to defend different trading ports. The Pacha of Egypt, on hearing of the Stnope disaster, immediately ordered the equipment of four frigates, two corvettes, and three brigs, to replace those destroyed. The Wallachian peasantry are in insurrection. Lord Dudly Stuart has had a.t interview with the Sultan respecting the employment of Poles. It is reported that the British Charge has renewed negotiations with Persia. Teheran lias broken out iu tumult against the Russians. The King of Belgium has sent an auto graph letter by a special messenger to Napoleon on the subject of war. The contents have not transpired. It is sur mised to be another device of the Czar to gain time, or as a bona fide proposal on the part of Belgium. France has called out an additional contingent force of 80,000 men to replace 70,000 destined for Turkey. Th sailors of Russia on leave are summoned to return to service in March. A latter from Christiana states that Norway has decieed upon fining out. a squadron of 12 ships, in view of approaching events. Little sympathy for Russia exists among the Norwegians. Toe enormous price in the rise of food has caused serious apprehensions of. riot among the laboring classes in England. Bread riots had already commenced in parts of Devonshire. At Tapsom. mobs of women had threatened baker shops- iu cousequence of the lata rise in price. Bands of men, women, and children paraded the streets, and attacked bakeis' shops, demolishing doors and windows. The market people also were molested and their produce kicked about the streets. The police were unable to put down the disturbance. After reports were spread that soldiers were coiuiug, qaiet was restored. The steamer Sarah Sands, from Partland arrived Tuesday evening, the 10th. Dates from Liberia to Dec. laUti received. The English coast is healthy. President Roberts had delivered a satisfactory message to the Legislature, informing them of the alliance of France and - EugUnd with Liberia, aud that Napoleon had sent as a present one thousand stand of arms aud accoutrements for native militia. At Lagos, affairs continued unsettled. Kosoko, with ten thousand men, was in the rear cf the town, threatening hoshostilities.' Education. f The Shepherd of the. Valley, a Catholic paper published under the sancti'ju of the Bishop of St.. Louis, e'efines its posiliou us follows. "We are no friend of popular education as at present understood. The pop: ularity of a humbug shall never, we trust lead us to support it. We do not believe that the 'masses' as our modern reformers insuUingly call the laboring class, are one whit more happy, more respectable, or better informed fjr kuowiug how to read. We think that th masses weru never less happy, less respectable, thau they have been since the Reformation, ami particularly within the last fifty or one hundred years siuce Lord Brougham caught the mania of teaching them to read, and communicated the disease to a large portion of the English nation. 'The idea that teaching people to read furnishes them with innocent amusement, is entirely false. It furnishes the majority of those who seek amusement from it with the most dangerous reaction iu which they can indulga." ' The total deposits of American gold at the mint and branches, since the discovery'of California in 1849, is said to be 212.r500.000.

A Veice from the West. J The following interesting letter is from the pen of an occasional western correspondent, to whom we hope to b indebted for many more similar favors. He is ail active aud observant business man, and his statements are thoroughly reliable. Plymouth, the County seat of Marshall County, is located almost in the center of Northern Indiana, in a region of country which has lately been opened up by the Railroods connecting the western point of Lake Erie, with the southern point of Lake Michigan. A reference to the map will give a good ilea of the location, and the brilliant prospects of this fine section of country. Johnstown (Pa.) Jhuntain Echo. Plymouth, Ind. Jan. 1, 1854. Messrs. Editors: Permit me, through the columns of your very excellent paper. - to give you a brief history of my adopted State, which raiy possibly be interesting to some of the inhabitants of my native State, so fitly called the great Kryatene State. Indiana, although not the first State in the Union in its amount of population, yet, in many respects, may be regarded as one of the best in the whole thirty-one, for promoting man's happiness and real comfort. She prf sents to the view of the traveller evident marks of being capable of supportingas dense a population 83 any other State containing the same number of square miles. Hr soil possesses all the elements of fertility. Thfl country is well timbered, having some of the best limber foun t anywhere. in the West, and of the kinch best adapted to the wants of the settler. Our forests s-ipply the finest timber for building purposes that could be desired. It is no uncommon occurrence to cut 1000 saw lo-s on one acre of some of our heavy timbered land. Many of the Walnnt and Poplar trees are from 3 to 4 feet in diameter, and from forty to fifty feet to the first limbs: yet there is such a demand for lumber that it is very valuable. Some parts of anr country are high and dry prairies of the most handsome appearance the eyes ever beheld, with as rich a soil as you have in gardens, and from 2 to 3 feet deep. The prairie will yield of Wheat about 25 to 45 bushels to the acre, and from 75 to 100 bushels of corn, which finds a ready market, and pays the husbandman liberally for the little amount of labor expanded upon it. We do not labor as hard here to raise a crop an you do in Pennsylvania, as we only plough our ground once lor wheat, and nevarhoe our corn. Quite a portion of the northern part of the State is whit we call barrens. By this we mean that portion covered with a sin ill, short quality of timber, consist ing of Btirroak, Hickory, Whiteoak. Yellowoak, &c. The barrens are equally as good in quality of soil ns the prairies, or heavy timbered land, and are much nior easily brought into a state of cultivation t!an the latter, as it is not necessary to srub it, it being easily broken up by the large teams they use for this purpose, consisting of from six to eight yoke of cattle, attached to a plow that will turn a furrow of from two to three, feet, and will cut any root that may come in its way, of not more than six or eight inches in diameter. This may' seem to you like a singular kind of a team to plow with. but in this State we are not very scary, as our vision has been enlarged bv seeing farming done on a large scale. It is no uncommon occurrence to see a farm of from 100 to 500 acres of corn or wheat, and indeed. I know ono farmer who had 1200 actf!? of wheat cut in one spason, in the county adjoining this one, and it averaged 30 bushels per acre. So great fertility might cause you to suppose produce to be low in this part of the country, but it is not the cafe, in consequence of the facilities there are for taking it to market. Grain can be taken fiom here to Buffalo. N. Y.. for 6 cents per bushel, frequently; but generally at about 10 cts. per bushel. 1 will her give you the price of sundry, articles of produce: Wheat, 81.00 per bu.. Pork, $4,00 per hand,. Corn, 38 to 40 cents per bu., Oats, 33 cents per bu.. Flaxseed. SI. 00 perbu.. Beef. 84.00 per hund.. Potatoes, 30 to4Q cents per bushel. Of Rye, there is but little raised: (we have no need of any) as the wiskey here is made of corn, and we intend shortly to dry up the dram-drinking establishments, and, as a matter of course, the horde of liquor-drinkers will have to absquatulate. Yours.

TcmperauceCansc .... The temperance cause for some 25 or 30 years has elicited the effort of the most intellectual and patriotic spirits of the land. Addresses and essays, the- most pathetic, logical and argumentative have flooded our country, while news paper columns have teemed with illustrations., facts and demonstrations of the most thrilling kind. Oratory, eloquence . and pathos have been sum'Jioned to the mighty work, that a caufe of so mucii magnitude aud momentous importance demands. Societies, associations, organization! and combinations of almost every kind, name and nature that can be invented among men, women aud children, hive passed their solemn resolves asservation3, - and published them to the world, binding under pledges, todes, constitutions and- by laws.' 'Legislative bodiws have been pe tilioned and invoked.
