PLYMOUTH IND. Thursday Moraing, Jone 15, 1854. Advertisements to insurr. insertion, must be handed in by Tuesday preceding the day of publ.cation. Supreme Coart Decision. We understand that the Supreme Court of this State has decided that the Common Pleas Courts have no jurisdiction in cases of felony, such as are punishable by death.or imprisonment in the Penitentiary. This county has one delegate at Jeffersonville whoso credentials are somewhat of a doubtful character. Other cases disposed of at the last term of our Common Pleas Court, may also be subject to the investigation of the Circuit Court. If the Common Pleas hare not jurisdiction, the Grand Jury most assuredly has, but we do hope that what has been acted upon may remain as already disposed of. Another Railroad. A project for another Railroad from this place through South Bend to the mouth of the St. Joseph's River, is strongly talked of by our road makers, and the more the subject is investigated, its entire practicability becomes more manifest. The Weather Crops Sc. &c. For the last two weeks the weather in this locality has been unusually disagreeable and unseasonable. The rains continued rather warm and favorable to the growing crops until the latter part of last week, when they became exceeding chilly rendering it necessary for fire in our stores and shops. The wheat had become quite rank, under the influence of former rains. and the late heavy showers, attended with considerable wind, caused it to fall in several fields where it was so much advanced. In the flat lands the corn looks rather pale, and much of it is doubtless drowned out. In some instances, the continued wet has thus far prevented many fanners from getting all their corn planted, and the great amount ot water now in the ground, will mdk very late harvest for that hereafter planted. The Editorial Board. The Valley Olio at Peru, after the insertion of the new Board of Directors for the Cincinnati, Peru and Chicago Rail Road, remarks: 'The Company have now three editors of public Journals as directors, to wit: John C. Walker of the Laporte Times, Pershng of the Plymouth Banner, and I. : Hoover of the Rochester Flag." Kealy our friends Trask don't keep the run of their neighbors very well. Mr. Hoover is not the Editor of tho Flag nor is Mr. Pershinz Editor of the Banner. If J these gentleman have been down to Peru and passed off as the aforesaid Editors, j you must disabuse the miud3 of your tavern keepers, Railroad Agents, saloons, &c &c, for when D. R. P. and W. J. B. the real S. P's. of the Banner j and Flag call upon them, they may be out j of chalk. I Aiide Dave, do you understand? Have these fellows been down to Teru. ; and in order to be etected R. R. Directors, ! induced the stockholders to heliuve that they really were Editors? Say! The Crystal Palace is beginning to attract more attention since it has reached the skillful hands of Barnum and Greely, two of the greatst humbuggers of the age one a successful speculator in curiosities, and the other in politics. If they don't make it win, no other firm need try it. The Scientific America, don't like high heeled Ic-Ues boots. It says they are not con iu We to health ;herefore no evidence of '.heir getting up in the world. The American ought to know. The Cholera. In a largo number of our exchanges, we see mention of occasional cases of this dreaded disease already making its appearance. It seems to be confined to no particular locality. It has probably proved more fatal in Nashville, Tenn., thanat any other place mentioned. Bro. Walker of the Laporte Times is mad at us. It seems that he has been all the wny to Plymouth, and his neglect to call on us and see "Some Pumpkins," cut the following notice of our town shorter than it might hare been. How. eTcr, it's done up very nice; The town of Plymouth, which we had not seen for more than a year, has improved at an unprecedented rate and bears evidence of prosperity which nothing but her anticipated railroad connecsions could have affected. With the extraordinary native resources of Marshall county, we can perceive no reason why Plymouth should not grow in the course of three or four years to a population of five or six thousand." Calumets for two, John C. The editor of the Madison Courier calls Senator Bright "the owner of the democratic organization of this county," and claims to belong to the party himself. Well, we shoald like to know what's on hii collar? Hons. N. Eddy, S. W. Parker, and other attentive mebers of Congress, havt repeatedly placed us under obligations to them duxing the present session of odgreif, for documentary favors.

County Board. The Board of Commissioners for this county closed its June term on Thursday last. The tax lavied for the ensuing year is 50 cents poll, and 35 cents on the hundred dollars.

Bailroad Accidents. The Chicago Daily Journal of the 9th inst., says it seldom makes up a paper without narrating an accident of a more or less serious nature on some of the lines of road leading from that city. In addition to those we have extracted from that paper of the 6th, each succeeding day's Journal brings us accounts of other accit'ents, but none of a very serious character. The Devil Caught. Quite a number of persons were baptized at this place on Sabbath evening last, and amongst them was our Devil, Surely the end can't be far off now. It is an old and approved requirement to "give the Devil his due," but in this instace the church took both, the Devil nnd Justice! Well, we have every confidence that whilst Justice may contiue to discharge his duty in a printing office, he'll not play the devil with the church. The Journal of Saturday last reports flour in the Logansport market at $10 per bbl., and potatoes at 1,23 per bushel. The Cashmere goat has been successfully bred in South Carolina. People's Friend. Snores wonders at it that at the present high price, of flour, they could successfully bread anything. He has to pay ten shillings a hat-ful, out here ond then they won't allow him to shake it while they put it in. State Sentinel. This paper comes to us in an entire new dress and considerably enlarged, and is now published at tho old price of two dollars, invariably in advance. Publishers generally, will necessarily be compelled to go back to tho old ficures -32 00, or many of them will be compelled to suspend operations. That's so. The Vineennes Gazette, for the last 22 years so faithfully and honorably conducted by our old friend R. Y Caddingiox, has passed into the hands of Messrs. Harvey, M ison & Co., and its Editorial management devolved upon Mr. J. A. Mapox. The Montgomery Journal, at Crawfordsville, by Dr. T. W, Fry, has made its appearance in a beautiful new drees, und now favorably compares, in mechanical execution, willi the best papers in the State. It is certainly one of the ablest con ducted, and will continue to be so as long as Doc. Fry has control of its columns. Xew Daily. We have heard it intimated that our near neighbor of the Pt ru Sentinel talks of s!aitng a daily. If brother Graham commences the enterprise, he hns the nerve to put it through, and the citizens of Peru should sustain him at all hazards. Strictly Personal. It is as yet undeter. mined who is to become the most notable personage Fred Douglass or Stephen A. Douglass, tho Boston fugitive slave Burns or ourself. Fred and the fugitive are at the head of the heap thus far. We understand that a new Pension Agency has been created in this State by the Government at Washington, and that Major A. F. Morrison, of this city, has been appointed the Agent. Major M. has some peculiar qualifications for the office. Chanticleer. What are they his boots? Fort Wayne and Chicago Bail Road. We understand that the directors of this road have thought it prudent under existing circumstances, to change the plan of operations, and instead of working as heretofore along its whole length, with a view to a simultaneous opening, to concentrate the forces mainly on the eastern portion reaching to Columbia, Whitley County, in order that the road may be completed in divisions connecting with the finished Roads from the Est. At an eaTly date in September next it is designed to commence track laying from the Sum mil City to the West, and to open twenty miles by November to run in connection with the Ohio and Indiana Road. In the mean time the heaviest sections on the Western Division, requiring the longest time, will continue to progress. lhe iron for the whole road to Chicago has been purchased, and its delivery is soon to be commenced. A large part of the cross ties has already been delivered for the Western as welt as the eastern dirUion, and a fair portion of the grading done. ft. Wayne Times, m Further From the Brooklyn Riot No Lives Lost. Eagle Office, Brooklyn, Juno 5. The city is now quiet. Twenty additional warrants were issued this morning for the arrest of those engaged in tho riot. Mayor Lambert, Justice Blackly, and Alderman Barnard are hearing complaints against the prisoners, admitting those to bail who can procuro it; and committing those who cannot. The neighborhood of the City Hall is crowded with those having friends implicated in tho riot. Besides the 14th Infantry, the following military were ordered out, but failed to make their appearance: The City Cadets, City Life Guards, and the Ringgold Horse Guards. Notice had been pasted on the wall adjoining the lot where the street preacher had been accustomed to hold forth, forbidding trespass on the grounds, under penalty of the law, but &o attention was paid to the order. No lives were lost during the riot.

New York, Juno 7, The Arctic reached her dock at two o'clock. She brings dates to the 2Sth, one day later'than the Niagara. It is stated that tho French army in Turkey will be augmented to 170,000 men. The rebellion in thessaly is gaining ground. It was rumored that the Russians, being unable to defend the seaboard of Circassia, had evacuated all their positions from Mntoma to Annps, burnirg all their own forts, after which they returned to Kentz. The Circassians came down and took 1500 prisoners. It is confirmed that a protocol has been signed by the Four Powers to manlain the integrity of Turkey. Austria and Prussia will demand that Russia shall evacuate the Turkish territory, and nc cordingly a draft of a nolo to Russia has beert sent by the Vienna Conference to Berlin. According to advices from Frankfort, the Ministers to Austria and Prussia have presented to the Diet the joint declaration of Aastria ond Prussia, nnnouncins tho continued cordiality of the Four Powers, and declaring that the Prolongation ot the struggle between Russia and Turkey constitutes a danger to Germany. After submitting this declaration, five protocols af tho Vienna Conference was laid before tho Diet; tho Austno-Prussian treaty was notified to the Assembly, nnd tho other German states were Invited to adhere to it. In Parliament, explanations had been given i expecting various incidents of war. Lord Clarendon stated that the treaty between Austria and Prussia would be laid before Parliament as soon a3 tho protocol containing it should bo received; further, that papers would be laid beforo tho house to show that coercive measures wore necessary against Greece; and finally, that the latest intelligence recoived by tho British government was that Persia will remain neutral in lhe Turkish war. Sir Jemea Graham admitted that the Tiger, steam-frigate, had gone ashore and been captured by the Russians. He also stated that the Russian ports in the Baltic and Black Soas were blockaded, but, at present, there was no intention on tho part of the allies to blockade Archangel or the J White Sea. Kdwnrd Thornton, British Secretary of Legation at Mexico, is appointed British Charge d'Aflairs and Consul General to New Grenada. Gen. Forey'a division (French) left Malta the 22d, in fourteen steamers, to lake possession of Athens. Spanish advices say thv.t tho Black Warrior affair is still unsettled, and that M. Galliano, apocial messenger to Wash ington, i3 to endeavor to settle tho matter without Mr. Soule's intervention. The Wae and the Ghef.k Insurrection. On the 25ih the Russians were maneuvering to cut oil the communication between Varna andSilislria. An English division was to embark to Constantinople for Varna, while the French force was to march on the Balkans. On tho ltth the fleets wwre cruising bofore Sebastopol. It is slated that a Greek Bishop has been arrested at Festh as a Russian emissary. Important papers, it is said, were found on his person. St. Petersburg and Odessa. Exchange at both places higher. A case which has just transpired seems to indicate that specie payment in Russia h wholly duspended. A certain amount of bills, payable at St. Petersburg, was remitted from London, a short lime back, to an eminent house in that city, with instructions that they should forward the proceeds in specie to Odessa; but it appears ihey refused to do so, and would send nothing but paper money. Mcllenry quotes Wes'ern Flour 3Ssa38s 6d, Philadelphia and Baltimore 3S. Gd a 39j. News has arrived that the castle of Gus. tofohoben, south of Flaute, nnd at the entrance of the Gulf of Finland, has been destroyed and that 1500 Russians had been taken prisoners. The 21st Fusileers had received orders to hold themselves ready fr active service in the Baltic, and will embark on'the 29kh or thereabouts. Twenty sergeants and forty corporals are to be at onto appointed. A dispatch from Marseilles states that arrangements have been made nt Constantinople for embarking the whole English army in 21 hours. A dispatch from Warsaw, May 21ih, says tho cr.rps of grenadiers was daily expected there, under the command of

Gen. Rüdiger, nnd be stationed south of the town, on tho Bay Narven and Weischel, in order to be able to operate against Prussia or Austria. Tho Baltic Fleet, May 10. on the afternoon of tho Oth, tho weather being clear and sunny, the squadron got under way and left Elfsuaven harbor Tho Kuryalus and Driver rejoined tho fleet on tho lGih, Irom detached service. Tho same day the Duke of Wellington went ahead of the squadron, and commenced in downright earnest to practice her crew at getting to quarters. Indian War in Texas, CiiAnLEaTON, J.ine 9. The New Orleans Picayune contains important news from Texas to the 3 1st. Tho threat of tho Indians to wago a desolating war against the whites is being carried out. An express, which arrived at Galveston, reports 500 Indians under Wild Cat, tho notorious chief, who had comrneactd a slaughter of the white inhabitants. When about 2U mile? from Victoria, they fat! in with a company of 25 soldiers, every one of whom was slain, with the exception of two. They next attacked a party of mustang traders and citixens. killing 36 of their number among whom were 30 Mexicans and 6 Americans, When the express left, tho fighting was being carried on fiercely, and tho Indians had said that they would desolate the. whole country on the borders of the Rio Grande. The express rider had his horse shot .from under him by a ball from an Ind ian, but he succeeded in seizing one of their bones end escaped.

Kassian Possessions in Airrrica. Tho British Government has notified the Government at Washington of its intention to seize the Russian possessions in North America. These possessions are so distant, and so little is known of them, that they have hitherto attracted little attention, but in the career of expansion on this continent, they must ere long be valuable in the hands of their possessor. On the heels of the notification of the British Government, intelligence is bro't by the last steamer that the Czar has despatched an agent (and he is named as the Count de Medem) to this country for the

purpose of opening negotiations with our Government for the cession of all the Russian territory on the northwest coast of America. Although, of course, Russian territory is legitimate spoil for the Czar's enemies, and although we cannot properly interfere to prevent seizure, we must yet feel a large interest, in a movement which will adil to British power on the Ameri can continent. It is to be hoped that Count de Medem will make haste in his mission, and transfer the territory to us before the British forces can reach it. Detroit Free Prcts. ' ma an Washington, June 9. The Union of this morning states that tho difficulties between this Government and Spain are not adjusted, an J that the policy of the administration is unchanged. Ukookly.n, May 9. The jury in the case, of Aotouin, on trial for murder, have brought in a verdict of not guilty. Jas; Brown of Brooklyn, was elected GrandMaste r of the Grand Lodge of Free nnd Accepted Masons, of the State New York. of Norfolk, June 9. The cutter Moris, having on board the slave Barns, arrived at Old Point Comfort yesterday, when Burns was put on board a steamer for Alexandria. A public dinner to the officers of the Morris was being discussed. New Okleass, June 8. The President's proclamation against fiUibusters excites considerable attention here, but the friends of freedom in Cuba, it is said,-have so perfected their arrange. ments as to not act contrary to the laws. Cox cord, June 9. The Legislature of New Hampshire adjourned to-day until Monday next. The election for United States Senators has been postponed till Friday next. Louisville, June d. The office of the Louisville Courier was destroyed by fire this morning. Loss $7,000. covered by insurance. The presses arid books and job offices were saved. The fire was the work of an incendiary. The bill submitting the liquor prohibition question to a vote of the people, passed by the Pennsylvania I-gislature, has been signed bv Governor Ui"ler. The Emigration Jlorcnwat to Kansas and Nebraska. As the subject of lhe settlement of the recently organized Territories of Kansas and Nabraska is engaging considerable attention, any facts in relation thereto will, of course, be of interest. We, accordingly, transfer to our columns the following items, gleaned from various sources by the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Tho St. Joseph Gazelte (Missouri,) learns that a mamorial has already been forwarded to Washington, asking of the Government permission to establish a newspaper al Fori Leaven woi th, the designated capital of the new territory of Kanzns. (Fort Leavenworth is situated at the eastern boundary of Kansas, on the Missouri river, between latitude. 39 and 40. It is a military reservation, and so under the control of the war Department.) The memorial in question is signed by all the officers of tha Fort, and many persons living on the Missouri river. The adjacent land, not covered by the Military Reserve, is Indian territory, and no white man can 6ettle. there without permission from the United States author ities ko that the Government hns com plete control in th premises. It would be a capital site for a democratic jonmal, and we presume no other will be esluUished there. I The Fremont County Journal (Iowa) announces that many settlers were nlready crowding into Nebraska, in anticipation of the extinguishment of the Indian title. It will be noticed that a member of the House from Missouri has moved for the establishment of a land office in Kansas. This will meet the necessities of the gient emigration of that country. The friends of the "Emigrant Aid Society," of which we have already spoken, held a meeting al the Astor House on lhe 3lst, at which President King, of Columbia College, took the chair. Then was quite a full attendance. A committee was appointed to superintend the business of obtaining subscriptions, and to represent the subscribers in the meeting of the Society to beheld in Boston on Wednesday, the 7th inst. The stock is being rapidly taken. More R. R. Acciuents. Yesterday we were compelled to record three accidents occurring almost simultaneously on railroads coming into our city, and this morning we hear of two more happening to one train, and within a few miles of each other. The Beloit train on tho Galena road came in collision with about thirty sheep at Brewster's crossing, a short distance this aide of Elgin, the result of which was the destruction of the lives of the innocent sheep. A few miles further on, as the conductor was endeavoring to gain time according to th regulations of the road, the train came suddenly upon a young bull, who seembd to prefer the track for his parade ground, to any other portion of the country thereabout. Taurus persisted in keeping his position, on the right of prior occupation probably, and it being impossible to stop the train in so short a curve of the road, it passed entirely over him, dismembering his beef in the most shocking manner. The train

was of course thrown off the track, and J were attracted by the cries of Mrs. Jones; j Pounillg AnecdutS, by Gaose-Btrry. A iruthe two circumstances together delayed but the son, rendered crazy by the liquor jeer, named Berry, lauly sent his bill try the train nearly three hours. None of i he had drank; dragged his mother into j an acor w ho iraded with him on credit; the passencers were hurt that we learn of. the house, hatred the doers and windows of course we needn't say that he was a

The following from "The Old House by tho River Side,'' is truly eloquent; and embraces the bel'ef of every Christian heart. 'Go preach to blocks and stones, yo who believo that love is of cluy!

We expressed our surprise at not seeing the vote of this gentleman in the negative on the pas;igo of tho law permitting slavery in to Kansas and Nebraska. The following remarks of Mr. Miller, in Congress, will give the reason of his absence: Mr. Miller of Indiana, said: My colleague (Mr. Chamberlain) is now detained from the House by sickness in Iiis family. He proposed to me to psir off with him. I told him I would pair off with him on the final passage of the bill, if it shojld so happen that his vote would defeat the bill. But from the votes which have been taken, I became satisfied that the bill would pass; and I have accordingly availed myself of the privilege of putting Myself upon the record. Struck by Lightning. An elderly man nimed Cane, residing on Baffalo near Van Buren St., was struk by lightning and instantly killed yesterday afternoon while at work lathing, in a house near the junction of Ciark-st. with the Archer road. The hatchet he held in his hand was meltod and where tho fluid passed.his clothes were very much scorched, and his person blackened almost beyond recognition. He was an old resident of this city, about sixty years of age. and, as we. learn, leaves a wife. CM. Jour. Horrible Instance of lhe Effects of Liquor. On Thursday May 11, a man about 40 years of age named Jones, residing in Franklin township, near PitUburgh, Pa., while suffering from an attack of delirium tremens, assaulted his mother, a Woman of eighty years of age, and stabbed her repeatedly and severely with a kmle.
