LANE, oe rr-r.?op.N county. icOrcNcr.r.-s, second risTr.icT, CYRUS L. DUNHAM, OF VCAPlIINSTON COUNTY. jrWe have heard several cholera Tumors tliis morning, but nothing veiy reliable. As far es we have been able to ascertain, there have been seven or eight new rases and two or three deaths, since our rpport yf-sterday. r-Great efforts have been making in this country by the Christian community, for years past, to enlighten the heathen. The horrors of idolatry have been depicted in the darkest colors; and the depraved Ftate of society in many heathen countries has justly enlisted the sympathies of the Christian and the philanthropist, and first prompted them to device some mean? to enlighten the minds of idolatrous worshiperf. Idolatry, however, is not confined to heathen lands. We have its votaries in our our own free country the land of bibles, of schools, and of general intelligence. An instance occurred but a few days since in one of our most enlightened cities. That class of idolatry to which we refer may be styled, the "worship of a white hoi sc." Their god was led along the etreets of Cincinnati a few days since, and crowds followed it. anxious to enjoy the privilege of locking upon it! Huzzas in honor of the idol rent the air, and the rr,ot intense feeling of devotion seized hold upon the poor fanatics. What a sad commentary on the intelligence of our people! Would it not be well for the religious nnd philanthropic societies :o turn their attention, for awhile, to enlightening their own people"! O" Wonder what the ollice-'eeking tariff Whis of this county think of a part of the ticket presented to them on Saturday last As they are strong tariff men, we should think thev would want a duty imposed on imported candidates; or, is it possible that there is not any domestic material fit for the uses to which they wish to put a portion of the ticket nominated last Saturday! Native Whig talent must be getting scaice in Jefferson county. jtyThe Banner says that the Whigs, as a party, are not half to greedy after office as ; the Locofocoes. According to this interpretation, we suppose there wire at least j forty Democrats who were applicants for ; the office of Treasurer of Jefferson county; ; and that some of them circulated their pe- ; titions in less than one hour after 3Ir. Puh was dead. Now, the Banner knows this was not the case; therefore, its lo-ic will not hold good. ! O The Dutch 1. -ode of selling at auction is by bidding do.t nards. An ertc:e is set up at any va'ue ait auctioneer m?y please, and the price is lowered until a sah- , is effected. Tliis plan is now adopted by the cabinet at Washington. A fellow puts . himself up for a consulship, and finally j fills to a village post-office. ; 33 We are told that at Tanner's creek, a sma-i empties into the Quo river. the mouth of; stream which about equi-dis-tant from Auroia and Lawrenceburgh. hundreds of dead tuh may be seen float- : lhg about in the stream. It is supposed . that they die in the vicinity of the large i distillery situated on the Unk cf the creek near New Lawieneelurgh, and are wash- j ed out by the current in the creek. ! O" In proportion to the population there I is no abatement cf the cholera at Aurora, j and the disease seems to increase in ma-i lignancv. Lawrenceburg!i, situated :"bur j miles distant, is yet free from the scourge, i O There are in F.r.s: uru about 100 , furnaces and ether manufacturing establishments, included in which aie 14 roiling ' mills, with nail factories to most of them, 50 iron foundries and 11 engine shops.- j The amount of iron rolled daily is fullyequal to 300 tec?, of which 60 ton? are madt into r."-1'-

Cj- Col. C. C. Nave is an indepecdent Whig candidate for Congress in the Terre Haute District, against McGaughey. The Terre Haute Express tries first to scare the Colonel off, and then tries to coax him off, by promising him that, if he will behave himself this time he may be a condidate

i two years hence. They will have a beautiful time of it, judging from present ap pearances. It is a Kind of husband-and-bear fight, and all we care about it is, that we like to see the fun. O The Terre Haute Journal says that there are, thi'3 season, five army-worm3 up every biade of grass, ten caterpillars on every leaf, and sixteen Whig applicants for every office in the government. Canada. The newspapers in Canada are discussing the subject of annexation to he United States with freedom and fluency. A writer in the Montreal Courier, in a series of able papers, examines minutely the whole structure of cur constitution, and shows that the rights and interests of the people are more perfectly secured by the practical working of the United States' government than by that of Canada O" The Emperor of Russia has ordered the Germans to leave Jutland. This looks very much like espousing the cause of Denmark, and possibly bringing that nation into the league of despots. Republicanism in Europe must stand up from circumference to centre, or it will be put down. Wabash IVIarble. The Lafayette, la., Couiier says that a valuable marble quarry has been opened on the Wabash about a hundred miles below Loganspoit, which surpasses in quantity and quality any other in the State. 0Natchez, Vicksburgh, and Lawrence burgh have, as yet, escaped the ravages of cholera. No case of that disease has originated in either of those places during its present visitation. fj7 The following notice of the death of Ex-President Polk is from the N. Y. Sun, a neutral paper: The year 1849, appears to be marked as a fatal one to the eminent men of this country. It is but a few days since we had to record the death of two of our most illustrious soldiers, Generals Worth and Gaines, and yesterday brought us the mournful intelligence that Ex-President James K. Polk is no more. Almost on the threshold of his retiring from the highest honors a free people could confer, he has closed his career a career marked and eventful, one that the future historian may use, to nobly illustrate how to neither hereditary rank nor wealth alone, the summit of human ambition is attainable. The Ex-President had been reported ill for some weeks, but little apprehension was felt for his recovery up to the moment of his death. The disease of which he died is set down as Chronic Diarrhoea. James Knox Polk was the eleventh President of the United Stales, and only two Ex-Presidents JohnTylerand Martin Van Buren now survive him. He was born on the 2d of Nov., 1 795, and was, at the time of his death, in the fifty-fifth year of bis age in the prime and vigor of manhood, with one-third of the life allotted to man in prospective before him. fie was born in Tennessee, and his father, we believe, is still living in that state. .Mr. Folk was educated to the law. under Felix Grutidy, and asascholar, lawyer, politician, statesman, and man, his lifts has been brilliant without stain. He h id been Governor of his native State, mem- j U-r of Congress, Speaker f the House of Repre- j sentatives in which position he greatly oistin- ! guished himself and, as a crowning triumph, j Pre.-ident of the United plates. In ai! of the pub- j lie offices he fitred, he displayed the same upright, j ciear-Ftghted, pairiotic and decided mind. Indeed as a citizen or public sei vant, he was alike an honorable and honest man. His Administration, as President, is perhaps the mot-t markea of any on the record cf the Union. Under his guidance, j the country passed through the storm which j threatened it from the Oregon question, and thro" i the war forced on us by Mexico a war which, j however decried by sentimentalists, did more to j vindicate and elevate the Union, than a generatien of the most prosperous peace. By the country, through that war, Mr. Polk stood like a rock, e. gainst which the chafing elements beat in vain. Now that death has removed him from our midst, political ascerbity will be forgotten, and his partizac enemies, even, must accord to him, less j from generosity than justice, the credit ol great talents, unbenciDg integrity, and unimpeachable patriotism. The youngest of the Presidents at his death, it would seem to our short eight, that he might have been f-pared a little loDger, to enjoy the sweets of retirement, and hear the confessions of the future upon the actions of his lifeBut he is dead a Providence, often most merciful when it sems most severe, has called him to a bar where decision upon character is rendered Irom the scales of infinite justice. A devout Christian, we may trust that he is cow with his God, where "The wicked cease from troubling, And the w ary are at ret."

FOREIGN NEWS BY THE AMERICA. We extract from the New York Tribune most of the interesting items of foreign news brought by the America. AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY. Farther advices haTe been received at Vienna from Festh and Buda. The Kolner Zeitnng states that Utters have come to that city from the captive officers of the late garrison, from which it appears that thete captured officers are treated with great kindness. The wounds of Gen. Heotzl proved mortal. He was burled with all military honors. The Hungarians took about 60,000 florins in silver, which were kept at Buda. The garrison of 2,200 men and SO officers was conveyed to Debreczin. 83 pieces of artillerv, 1400 cwt. of gunpowder, 2000 cwt. of saltpetre, and 14,000 muskets fell into the hands of the Hungarians after the capture of Buda. The fortifications are to be destroyed. Accounts from Weis-Kirchen states that the Magyars under Bern have beaten the battalions of Puchner's corps d'armee. From Orsowa the remnant of the exhausted troops were beaten and dispersed and fled some to Wallachia and some toServia. Puchner escaped into Wallachia. The Constitutionelle Blattus Bohmen of May 20 says that a bloody battla has taken place on the River Waag near Trevezin. Haynau commanded the Austrians. There were great losses on both sides but neither was decidedly victorious. The story of the entry of the Russians into Transylvania was erroneous. Bern has prevented it, and they have taken neither Kashan nor Cronstadt. The Hungarian forces are now so strong upon the whole northern and eastern frontier that the Russians will hardly be able to

force an entrance. The Magyar Government has sent commissiaries into the districts with full power to act. The Clergy of all denominations are preaching a crusade against the Russians. At Presburga woman charged with having communications with the Hungarian forces, was scourged with rods. There is as much activity in the Hungarian Government as in its army. The Minister of the Interior, Sczeneri, has taken measures for the reorganization of those parts of the country which are not within the theatre of war. The Minister of Finance is engaged in contractinga loan, in case the country should be reduced to a want of money. In the sitting of the Diet, of the I2th ult., the Chambers were occupied with the emancipation of the Jews, for which a project of law will be presented. Letters from Cracow, dated 30th ult., announce positively that the Russians are about to take possession of that place, and annex it to Poland. FRANCE. Paris advices state that the last mail from Toulon brings letters mentioning that in the course of the 43 hours prior to the 4th, no less than 2,200 men had embarked at that port for the Roman States. With such a reinforcement, the army of the French in Italy would amount to an extent of 30,000 men. It was also said that several other regiments, including two of cavalry, were under orders to embark. ROME. By late advices from the capital, we are put in possession of some very important intelligence. It appears that a convention had been signed on the night of the 3Ut ult., between the French Minister, M. Lesseps, and the Roman Triumvirate. Gen. Oudiuot immediately protested against its provisions, and declared it to bs null and void. Four thoueand Spaniards are reported to have landed at Gaeta. GERM NY. The insurrection maintains its ground in Baden and the Palatine. In a battle with the Hessian troops at Ileppenheirn, the Republicans drove their antagonists from the field in disorder. In Wirtemberg a revolution is imminent. In the Palatine the insurgents have retaken Worms. TheGrank Duke of Baden, by a proclamation dated Frankfort, the 2d inst., declares null all the measures of the Provisional Government, announces that imperial troops are about to enter the Duchy, and he promsses an amnesty to all, except the chiefs who may have taken part in the insurrection, provided they make a voluntary submission before any combat with the troops shall take place. The Cologne Gazette announces that the troops of Electoral Hesse have refused to march against the insurgents of the Grand Duchy of BadenIRELAND. By the arrival at Liverpool of a Dublin steamer, which left Dublin at a late hour on the evening of the 6th, we are in possession of a variety of interesting intelligence from tae several provinces of Ireland. The Stats prisoners are still in Dublin, still confined still in daily expectation of being carried off from the land they loved "not wisely, but too well.' They are fully prepared for the worst, come what may. They expect no mercy from the government that has persecuted them with such an unrelenting hatred. Even Mr. Doherty has been officially informed that he, to, must wear the manacles, share the felon's doom, and mingle with the very scum of English rascality, on board the convict chip, becaure in the ardency

of hia patriotism he had dared to assert the right of Ireland to make bar own laws &zl chocs her own rulers. The accounts from the Provinces which were received in Dublin yesterday morning, are of the most alarming character. Starvation is rapidly increasing; pestilence and death are making an awful advance upon the half-living peasantry; hundreds, with a cruelty that could hardly find its equal in the by-gone days of feudalism, proceed in the unchristian and diabolical work of ejecting and unhousing their pauperized tenantry leaving no roof to shelter them, or under which they might lay down their wearied, emaciated bodies, to beguile the dark and silent hours of the night, save the ditch-sida's shelter, or the rude and reeking walla of the cow-shed. Not only in Connaught and Munster is the famine raging, but parts of Ulster and Lei aster begin to feel its effects. 0The "Irishman" continues to write in the same bold and vigorous stylecautiously and steadily it walks upon the very march of the "treason felony" act uttering, publishing, and declaring, in terms too plain to be misunderstood, principles the most seditious, and contempt for Victoria and her Ministers the most notorious but with the eye of a skillful lawyer it keeps within the limits of the statute made to suppress such ppirits as those of its contributors. In the number issued this morning there is an excellent letter from the editor to Lord John Russell, in which the latter is charged with the crime of committing murder. He calls the Premier a second Delahunt, and suggests that he should bequeath his head to the phrenologists, and thus concludes his letter: "Your extermination policy has, up to this, worked well; I warn you, however, that no machinery being perfect, a check may come. 'Human patience,' as Sir James Graham said, 'has its limits.' If ever the 'patience of the Irish people overleaps those 'limits' within which it has been chained so long by 'agitators" may the Lord who pardoned the penitent thief, have mercy upon your soul !" What my Lord Clarendon, armed as he is with a Habeas suspension act, will think of this, we cannot tell but sure we are, that Mr. Attorney General Monaghan has instituted prosecutions for offences of a less seditious character. Aye. and by some means or other obtained convictions.

War with Mexico Predicted. A Correspondent at Mazatlan of the New Orleans Picayune, who has crossed the Mexican territory on his way to California, after stating that there are 30,000 Mexicans on their way to California, (some of them with the avowed purpose of taking possession of it,) says: "There is a manifest disposition on the part of Mexico to have another fuss with us and mind my prediction we shall be at war with her again in less than two years. My impression is that it will grow out of the difficulties now promising to originate in California. Trial for Murder in New Orleans. On the loth inst., the trial of Robert Lintell for the murder of his wife, Susan Jane, on the 7th ofApril last, came off in New Orleans, before Judge McHenry. The jury, according to the N. O. Picayune, returned a verdict of guilty without capuai puntsnmeni. a jury so ignorant of the law, or reckless of their oaths, are unfit to try an v case. The legal cuty ofthejury was to find the prisoner innocent or guilty of the charge, and of the judge to pronounce sentence. Nothing i a Name. A Whig paper in Alabama hoi-ts the name of S. F. Rice, as "the Whig, Democratic, Taylor Republican, No-party candidate" for Governor. If there is anything in a name, surely Mr. Rice ought to carry the State by a handsome majority. Hf The universally recognised whig doctrine now, is that "to the victors belong the spoils.' Anything to the contrary is heresy. Detroit Free Press. Rise in Real E.vtate A New York letter, of 1nnv j ' Quite an activedemand forreal estate has sprung ! up, and good lots have advanced in value 10 and 15 : per cent., for the last sixty .iays.

BY TELEGRAPH.

EXPORTED FOE THE DAILY L KIEH. New Orleans, June 22. The Indians are committing great depredations on the Texan frontier. It is said that fully five hundred California emigrants have been- killed by the Indians. The cholera is raging dreadfully in the interior towns of Mexico. A letter dated San Jose, April '30th says, the Mexican Government intend taking advantage of the failure of our Commissioners to meet them, and intend to claim the whole of the rich mines on the Gila and tributaries. Cincinnati, June 27. No abatement of the cholera in St. Louis. In Cincinnati 59 cholera interments, and 32 of other diseases, yesterday. Three cemetarie not reported. Gen. Winfield Scott lying very ill at West Point of Chronic Diarrhoea. Markets unchanged. 0Virtue is the queen of laborers; opinion, the. mistress of fools; vanity, the pride of nature; and contention the overthrow of families. Domestic Life. Pleasure is to woman what the sun is to a flower; if moderately enjoyed, it beautifies, it refreshes, and it improves if immoderately, it withers, it detonates and destroys. But the duties of domestic life, exercised as they must be in retirement, and calling forth all the sensibilities of the female, are perhaps as necessary to the full developement of her charms as the shadows in the rose, confirming its beauty, and increasing its fragrance. "How," said a judge in Missouri, to a witness on the stand, How do you know the plaintiff was intoxicated, on the evening referred to?" "Because I saw him a few minutes after the muss, trying to pull off his trowsers with a boot jack." Verdict for the defendant. Blackstone, page 37,ttGin and Sugar. i o. o. r.
