PLYMOUTH IND. Thursday MorningNor, 23, 1854. pAdvcrtisemcnts to insure insertion, must be handed in by Tuesday preceding the day of publication. The Madison Banner says one of the questions asked every day is ''What has become of all the gold and silver in the country?" Why it is laid up to rust in the coffers of the frugal men of the country, who hare been taught by bitter experience the mutability of local banks. At this very moment there is enough gold and silver coin in the United States to meet all the demands of commerce and trade in amounts often dollars and under, and, with a safe and sound paper medium, national in character and current everywhere, it would be brought into actire circulation; without it never will. State institutions, sound at home, but depreciated in each of thirty or more Slates, will always hiTe the effect of retiring specie, instead of drawing it out from its hidden places. The welfare of the country demands a paper currency convertible always and everywhere into silver and gold at pleasure, for such a currency, for manifest reasons, would be hoarded instead of the precious metals. The Louisville Times says a young gentleman of thnt city has been offered n colonel's commission in the Russian army and that he will probably leave the United Stntes about the 1st of Foburarv or March. Xcw York Election. New I ork, Nov. 18. Our papers of this morningaro pretty unanimous on ihe Governor quenion.givine Clark 20 or 30 over Seymour. The Cnrrtncy. The excitement in our own State is subsiding, except what is occasioned by the failures of the free and other banks of our neighboring States. It is proper that our citizens should show a disposition to sustain our own banks, at it is the only mode of keeping off panics and excitement until there is an opportunity of amending the law controlling them. When sufficient changes are made, then let them be sustained, but our doctrine is the establishment of some kind of a National orState currency, in which the people everywhere have confidence, and then require all the Indiana Stock banks to be as good as it is. As further intelligence reaches us, we shall keep our readers advised. The last New Albany Ledger says: In new York on Tuesday, 93 was Lid for Virginia 6 per cent, stocks, and 81 for Indiana 5s. The action of the Auditor of State in refubing to force the State Bonds in his custody upon a stringent money market, is generally approved by the papers and people of Indiana, but is severely de nounced by the Cincinnati Gazette and other organs of the brokers. We think Mr. Dunn has pursued the proper course in this matter. Sullivan Democrat is the title of a verv neat little paper lately commenced at Sulivan County in this State, by Murkay Bbicgs. It'll go. mi i a Whig Paper at Indianapolis. A few weeks before the recent election the State Journal, formerly the whig organ in this State, was sold to a company of abolitionists. This was stoutly denied at the time; but it appears, since the new managers have taken charge of the Journal, that its abolitionism is beginning to disgust the Vonsrrvat'iTe wbigs' of Indiana. The C'innersville Telegraph says: We some time since made a few remaiks relative to the sale of the State Journal office to a body of Abolitionists, and urged the necessity of a Fpirited and reliable Whig Organ at Indianapolis, which we have not had since the davs of S. V. B. Noel. We find the conservative of the Whig press throughout the State all in favor of such a paper." The New Albany Tribune has no confidence in the State Journal, no matter what its profession may be. The Tribune says: As a member of the Whig pres3 of Indiana, we, for one, join in the demand for a Whig paper at the Capitol. The Journal, after to-morrow, cannot be recognized is a whig organ, no matter what it may profess to be. It is owned by abolitionists, and will be devoted to their interest, and as abolitionism and whiggery can never be united, there is an urgent necessity for a new whig paper at Indianapolis one that will hate the good of the country at heart ."a hightoned, efficient and spirited" sheet, that will reflect the sentiments of the Whigs of Indiana." It is very evident that the Whigs of Indiana are becoming ashamed of their connection with the Abolitionists, to whom they are indebted so much for their success in the recent election. They are no longer the People's party; the election is over and now they are the Whig party, "the Whig of Indiana," and they must have a Whig paper at Indianapolis! Haul down the black flag, Mr. Journal, or "off comes your head." As t further evidence, read the following letter from Mr. Julian: To the Editors of the Sentinel: I have been greatly surprised to learn, that, in i recent number of your paper, John D. Pei'rees has asserted that I did not support the people's ticket, nominated on the 13th of July. I not only voted for the ticket, but I publicly advocated it in more than a dozzeii speeches, which 1 made during tne campaign, in different

portions of Eastern Indiana. Has Borne evil spirit misled my friend, or am I to believe that his dread of political association with one who is styled an abolitionist, has induced him to fabricate his statement? Please give this note a place, in your paper and oblige GEO. W. JULIAN. Centerville, Nov. 1, 1854. Immediately after the 13th- Conven-

tion at Indianapolis, we charged that it was a coalition that was disgraceful to the Whig party one that required a sacrifice at its hands paramount to a sale or abandonment of its principles, organization, &c:and fordoing which we were ruthlessly proscribed by Whigs, and their patronage hautily -.vithdra cvn. Now they have found the association a disagreeable one from some cause or other, and wish a dissolution. It was contemptible enough in all conscience, to sell themselves in the first place, but five hundred times worse now to want to fly from their contract, and at the same time desire to occupy the whole ground which the abolitionists (the best and most honorable part of the mess) aided to secure. Begone with such partizans and patronage, we say. We aim far above such men and such contemptible trickery and humbnggery. A destructive firo occurred in Indianapolis on Sunday night. The steam furniture factory of Sloan d: Ingresoll, and a steam mill belonging to the Cincinnati Short line Railroad Co. were destroyed. Thurlow Weed, of the Albany evening Journal, is now the father of eighteen children his valuable helpmete having presented him with one every eleven months since their marriage. Dr. J. L.

Baltim re, Nov. 17. New Orleans papers of Saturday last contain the details of the news brought by the steamship Orizaba, which differ totally from the tolegraphic account recoived. It is now said that tho battle fought at Campo Guerrero resulted in a victory to the forces of Alvercz, who routed the government troop., killing 300 of them. Alvcrezs son, at tho head of soma guerilla forces, captured a number of prisoners, and two thousand head of cattlo. The New Era Shipwreck. Deal Beach, Nov. 17. Tue New Era remains in the samo position. Tho sea was so hih yesterday that sho could not be boarded; but it is smoother to day. Ono hundred nnd sixty bodies have been picked up in all, and it is doubtful if any more will be found. The current has changed. All the valuables and clothing aro In the hands of the coroner. The Insult of jlr.SouiC. New Yopk, Nov. 15. The Washington correspondent of the Journal of Commerce telegraphs as fol'ows; 'Tho French difficulty assumes n serious aspect. Official advices were received by the Government yesterday. The remorstranco of Messrs Mason and Buchanan wns rudely repulsed. The insult was apparently designod and premedHated." Robbery of a Bank. Hartford, Nov. 18. The Wyndham County Bank, Conn., was robbed last night of $25,000, of which $3.000 was in gold. The bank watchman was knocked down and gagged by the burglars. SECOND LI&PATCII. The Wyndham Bank was robbed last night of 822, C00, &7.000 of which was in specie, and the balance in bills of the bank. The robbery was effected by three men who entered the bank early in the evening. The watch dog, to prevent alarm, was first i oisoned, and when the clerk who sleeps in the bank entered about 9 o'clock, the robbers gigged and pounded him, and one of them stood over him with a revolver, while the others, with crowbars and other implements, succeeded in opening the safe and securing ttheir booty. The Lafayette Courier contains the following announcement among its 'special notices: We are requested to announce the name of Henry W.

ARRIVAL OF THE ASIA. Later from Enrope Intelligence from the Seat of War Decline in Breiuistnffs, &e. New York, Nov. 16. The steamer Asia arrived from Liverpool this morning. . The following dispatch was received at the foreign office from Lord Stratford de Radcliff, just before the Asia departed: Constantinople, Oct. 23. The captain of the English steamer Transport, which left Balaklava on the 26th, confirms in a great part the information received this morning by a French ship. It appears that the Russians attacked the forts in the vicinity of Bilaklava on the 25th, their number being about 30.000. The attack was unexpected. The Turks gave way, and even left their guns, which were seized by the Russians, and were turned against them. The Scotch remained firm in their position. Oiher forces arrived, and the Russians were obliged toyield. The Russians remained, nevertheless, masters of the two forts, from which they fired on the allies. Three regiments of English light cavalry, exposed to the fire of the Russian batteries, suffered immensely. The French took part in the affair, with admirable bravery, and the K.ext day their position was attacked by a body of 8,000 Russians, as well from the side of town as from that of Balaklava. They reputsed the enemy with great slaughter. The loss of the Russians must be very great. It is affirmed that the fire of the batteries of the town had much slackened; and according to the reports of the wounded officers, some of whom had arrived at Bunkerder, the belief continued that Sevastopol would soon be in the hands of the allies. Am mg the names of the killed and wounded, there are none of general officers. Lord Dunkelin was promoted from Captain to Lieutenant Colonel. Upon the 25th of Oct. the siege and bombardment of Sevastopol was going on with regularity and success, and the loss of life in the town was so great that theair was said to be tainted by the num

ber of unhurried dead. Admiral Napakoff had been killed by a shell. The loss of the allies is comparatively small, and Lord Raglan was understood to be favorable to a prolonged bombardment in preference to an immediate ass mit. The Weiner publishes the folowing; KiCHUFF, Bessarabia, Oct. 29. On the 25th General Leprandie attacked the detached camp of the English, and took the redoubts which protected their position. The assailants also took 11 guns at the same time. Such a powerful cavalry attack was made that it probably cost the English half of their light cavalry. Lord Cardigan, who comnianded escaped with difficulty. Lord Dunkelin was taken prisoner. Greek accoimjs from Odessa, confirm this, and say that the English cavalry lost 500 men. It is certain that the Russians have received considerable reinforcements, and a still stronger corps was expected from Perekop. At the recent attack upon the fort at the mouth of Sevastopol harbor, the vessels of the allies wero much demaged. The British were said to be within 200 yards of (he Russian works, but the French works wero not strong enough, and had been much injured. A dispatch states that the Russian loss was verv great. The French division from the Pierus had passed the Bosphorus as a reinforce ment to the besieging army. Official dispatches make no mention of Leprandie's victory. The affair is understood to have taken place near Enpatoria when the allirs were on the lookout for the Russian reinforcements. English accounts say the British calvalry were attacked, but the French advanced to their assistance and the Russians retreated. It is siid that two Russian men-of-war, which had been careened over in the harbor to serve as batteries, had been s ink by the fire of the allies. Water was beginning to fail in Sevastopol. Lord Raglan's chief interpreter, a Greek, had been sent to Constantinople as a Russian spy. MenschikolT reported officially the loss of Russians at Alma as 4,500, and that1 the tort had been much damaged, and 33 guns lost. Gortschakoff was apparently strengthening his position on the Danube. There is talk of a note from Count Nessel rode, stating that Russia is prepared for all contingencies, and will, under all circumstances, maintain her traditional policy. From England there is no local news of importance. The Peninsular and Oriental Steam shi p Company, in view of the late Arctic calamity, have issued the most stringent regulations for guidance of their vessels in fogs. Smith O'Brien returned in the last India mail steamer, and left at Gibraltar. He will probably take up his residence in Italy or France. The Pari Constitutional, has a long, temperately writt-n article on tho friendly relations which should exist between the United States and France, but which, it says are damaged by the indiscreet conduct of Mr. Soule, whose acts, however, the Constitution thinks, are generally repudiated by the people of the United States. Spain all quiet. Generals S. Baliocanchi and Prim have been made deputies from Barcelona. The Madrid Ctamo Publico say; France, and England in accordance with her, is to send a strong squadron to Cuba, to protect it from any attack, if necessary on the part of the United States.

Shipwreck anil Loss of Life. Lose Branch. Nov. 12. The ship New Era, belonging to Bath. Maine.from Bremen, with 130 passpngers went ashore last night in a dense fog. off Delong, on tho Jersey shore. She will, probably be a total wreck. It is reported several persons were washed overboard and drowned. But as yet we do not place much confidence in the statement. We expect particulars shortly. SECOND DESPATCH. New York, Nov, 13. It is said about one half the passengers of the New Era are drowned. third iiespatcii. The New Era had 390 passengers, About 20 of them, with the capuin.have reached the shore. The remainder are all on board. The vessel is fast break ing up. Half of those left on board have been drowned. Every effort is being made to rescue the survivors. FOURTH DISPATCH. New York, Nov. 13 8& P.M. At our latest dato from the scene of the wreck of the New Era. the steam tug Achilles was laying olF the wrecked ship, and the Leviathan was nearing the ship. The vessel was on her first voyage, and will prove a total wreck. She had only a small cargo. The ship lays broadside to the sea. FIFTH TFHIPATCH. New York. 9 P. M. The ship New Era will be a total ioss. Capt. Henry, and 6ome 20 passengers, were saved. The New Era sailed from Bremen on the 2Sth of Sep'. The sea is high and weather foggy. The ship lays broadside to the sea, and every exertion to save her passengers is being made. SIXTH DISPATCH. New York. 7 P. M. The Naw Era remains in the same position as before reported. The sea runs mountains high and renders it impossible for the tug boats to give any assistance. Before dark we could see every available space in the riggins filled with some 200 persons. No less than 75 have probably alrerdy been washed overpoard, and, from present indication?, a great many more will be washed into the s?a before any effectual assistance can be rendered. All the balls at the station were shot over the ship without being able to send a line on board from the shore, except in one case, when a life boat was imtnedi ately sent out to the wreck, and Captain Henry and eight or ten others got into it; but it was instantly capsized. The captain and four others clung to the boat, and succeeded in reaching the shore. Unfortunately at this time the cable from the shore to the ship gave way, and there was no remedy but to send to' another station and procure more balls, for the purpose of throwing another line over the wreck, and not an instant was lost in sending to the nearest lifeboat station. The ship is a total wreck, and there is not the least hope of saving anything. Should the heavy sea continue during the night, it is scarcely possible that a very few of the passengers now holding on to the rigging can be saved, and it is not impossible that every soul will be washed overboard before daylight. All tho passengers are Dutch or German, and, as there is no one here who understands their language, we are unable to obtain from those who have reached the shore any information in regard to the condition of things on board, which is undoubtedly bad enough, Capt. Henry is active and energetic in his efforts to send relief to his suffering passengers and crew. The ship struck at 7 this mi -ruing in a dense fog. Loso Branch, Nov. 14. Tho ship New Era was boarded this morning by the wreck boats, and all the passengers that are remaining will bo saved in three or four hours. A great number of bodies have been washed nshoro during tho night. Mr. Morris end his men have picked up six bodies within 400 yards of the telegraph office. Tho ship is very much broken up, bather masts aie still standing and the passengers are clinging to the rigging, SECOND DISPATCH. Ono hundied and thirty passsngors have been landed this morning, and in all 50 dead bodios havo been picked up onshore There aro two tug boats hero, but thoy are not able to render any assistance as yet, owing to heavy swells, thibd dispatch. New York, Nov. 14. One of tho tugs hif? arrived from the wrec:k of the New Era. which she left nt 9.12 this A, M. Sho lays ns before, the sea breaking over her. The Captain, officers, and crow, with the exception of the steward, aro saved; nnd of the 400 souls on board only 100 aro saved. A groat numbor of dead bodios aro lashed in the rigging. latest from the Xew Era. New YuKfc, Nov. 1 1. At 7 this morning till tho surviving passengers weie landed on tho beach, T IS in number, which, addeJ to the 20 savbd yesterday, makes n total of 155. Tho number lost was 215. Thrco of those saved died on tho beach. The passengers will not reach this city before to-morrow Ii ight. ThcSoule'Affair. New Yubk. Nov. 1(1. Tho Paris correspondent of the Commercial Advertiser says Mr. Mason has not received any reply to his pressing application for an explanation of the Soulo affair. Five days have now elapsed, and our Legation would already be inakimg preparations for departure, wero it not that tho Minister of Foreign flaira is deeply occupied in taking counsel and gathering' opinions for an answer. Cabinet meetings hive been held expressly, at one of which tho Emperor prosided. Constant telegraph communication with EngUnd has been kept upon tho subject, and it is thought Lord Aberdeen is recom. mending a retroat. It does not appear, however, that Louis Napoleon has any idea of receding, Tho samo letter says the article in tho Constitution was written by the Emperor.

The Free Banks. The following letter of Auditor Dunn we copy from tho Louisville Journal; Office of Auditor of State. Indianapolis, Nov. 6, 1654. Messrs. Prentice J Henderson: Gentleman. Your favor of tho 2Slh Oct. is before me, and I embrace the first leisure moment to reply to your question!: 1st. "When the State bonds fall below

par, havo you the power to require of lha banks adiitionnl securitv, nnd ifso. havo you exercised that power? Answer The law gives me power to require additional security, if. in inv judgment, I think it noce.-siry. As yeU have tint rinnn i notGono . 2d. "What hs been done with the in terest which has accrued on tho bonds deposited with you?" Answer The banks up to Inst July have drawn it. The interest which has I accrued sinc.O is in this officn, and will be retained from all banks who do not redeem their issues a required by law. 3d. "At w'hat rale have Indiana 0 per cents been taken by you?" Answer At par. it being the common selling rales of such stocks when deposited. 4th. "Is it necessary to protest each bank note for non-payment beforo n demand can legally bo made on the Auditor to sell tho bonds by which tho notes nro secured?'' Answer Tho protesting of a single note is sufliciont to compel tho auditor to close the bank and sell hor . securities, unless the bank within SO days coincs and redeems it in go!d or silver, and costs of protest. My opinion is, that, to mako n legal protest,, each note should bo seperately protested. 1 have thus given you a reply to each of your questions.nnd I hope satisfactorily. There has been returned by the banks within ihe last two weeks over half a million of their no-.es and the securities lifted. This is gVwg on very rapidly, tho bnnks being deiermined to cut down thoir circulation as low ns possible. Respectfully, yours. JOHN P. DUNN. Auditor of State. n,K4ieiii W. T. Dennis, Secretary of our State Agricultural Association was present during the National Cattl e Show, and gives a very interesting account of the Exhibition in tin. Palladium. He says of some of the stock; The practised eye was, in many cases, not a little surprised to find the coarse horn dull eye, harsh features, and hard handler before him. to be some scion of Nobility, and that his price had been counted by thousands. Had there bren a division on the ground between a native and imported Sbort-IIorn, the native brd would most assuredly have been witiners. There is a clear open style, a ! fullness of di velopment, a breadth and J volume about American bred Durhnns. that is sadly wanting in many of the imported cattle, and we make the remcrk here, that there is more propriety in our ow n best animals for breeding, than in sending, at great expanse, to Europe for new blood.

The choice lay between Meredith's Wayne county herd, and Krutus J. Clay's Kentucky stook, which had taken eleven prizes at various Kentucky Fairs. The writer says: This herd was allowed by every Kentuckian whom we heard speak of it, to be confessedly the finest that Kentucky could produce, and if it was beaten there was no danger of.anv other successful rival. It might have seemed to some little short of presumption in the county of Wayne, a small geographical division of the State of Indiana, to have entered the lists with such a powerful and loudly heralded coinpetiton. But tho order was given, and the stock brought into the ring, nnd Col. Sol. Meredith, of Indiana, found his herd standing beside the "winners of a hundred fields." Here was the finest sight of cattlo the eye of man ever beheld; drawn up in a line stood thirty head of the finest Cattle in America, The Committee made up of the most competent judges and intelligent breeders and importers in the Union, were Lewis F.

With reference io this matter, we received to day the following note from Mr. Hay, to which we cheerfully give place. The facts stated cannot fail to establish fully the confidence of tin public iu all the branches of

the State Bank of Indiana, and thus guard against the many rumors that aro being constantly circulated:

"Hot Corn" A Good Story The Cincinnati Columbian tells the follow ing on the authority of u gentleman from Indiana: Recently there was a run upon a bank in his neighborhood. Becoming 6hort of notes but expecting an arrival, next morning, of the necessary funds from n friendly institution, the Cashier gave notice to the crowd at the doors, that lo convince every body of the entire solvency of the concern, the directors had resolved to pay evary applicant for the r st of the diy, in gold; but, as the gold the Bank possessed was iu bars, just as the dray-load had arrived from California, the public must have patience until it was coined. What gold was oil hand or could be borrowed, was slowly paid out and given to the drawers on plates, so hot it could not be handled being as the clerk declared, ho from the mint. The counting, of course, under the circumstances, wa3 a slow process, and no difficulty was found in keeping "right side up" until closing time. The next morning the expected funds arrived, but were not wanted. The hot gold had satisfied the depositors that the Bank was of the best kind, and they began t pay in again.
