We have not received a number for several weeks. Don't slight us, friend G leaeon. Gls. Lane. The Newburgh (Warrick county-Democrat of the 16th inst. says: Gen. Lane reached home of Saturday last, after an absence in Oregon and California of about three years. Many of our citizens visited him on Sunday and yesterday, and represent him as being in fine health and spirits, and looking exceedingly well iudeed he seems to improve by age." Five persons committed to the Williamsport jail for safe keeping, escaped a few nights since, by unlocking the inner door with false keys, and forcing the lock of the outer door.

Marion is situated on the left bank of the Mississinaway river one of the most beautiful sirearr s in the West. It is the -eat of justice ior the county of Grant, one of the largest, healthiest and most fertile counties in Indiana. It contains about 1000 inhabitants 10 dry goods stores one extensive grocery two very respectable hotels three churches one school house, in addition to the Seminary which alone is capable of admitting 2S0 scholars at a time, besides the usual public buildings together with the usual variety of mechanics, and tradesmen of all kinds. There is also in the town in successful operation, a carding machine and two saw mills, one a steam saw mill of the best kind and largest size. Improvements äregoing ahead quite rapidly and emigration greatly on the increase. Marion Journal. The Hungarian Colony in Iowa, is located in an entirely new and unsettled country, about one hundred and fifty miles fiom the Mississippi, and possesses few facilities for communication. Some cf the emigrants are dissatisfied, and wish to change the locatiou to some point nearer the Mississippi, where a more eligible location could be procured at a small expense. Gov. Ujhazy is represented as leading a life of a true philosopher, dividing the time betweeu labor upon his fields and crops, and study and reflection, diversified with such hunting and fishing as the region affords. The Boston Transcript eays "Probably since the days of Washington no Chief Magistrate of the United States has visited Boston, whose reception by the great majority of the population has been eo generally free from all bias, party animosty, and personal opposition, as that of Millard Fillmore." This speaks well for tha courtesy and tolerant spirit of democrats; and is ja reraarVaWe contrast -vith the conduct of whigs towards democratic leaders.

The following singular case we find recorded in a Scottish paper the Glasgow Saturday Post: On the 1st of July, during the thunder

(storm a man named Raeburn, residing in the Croft, Paisley, was struck dumb. obtained, but all to no purpose, and what was strangest of all, no hurt or defect whatever could be observed. Next day, Raeburn was advised to try what galvanism could effect in his case, and he at once proceeded to Mr. Ferguson's galvanic operating rooms, iu Sheddon street. Here, after the application for a few minutes to his neck, he was able to articulate one or two syllables. His joy at this, it may be imagined, was very grcat, and we are happy to say that, after six applications from the galvanic apparatus, his speech has all but recovered its former fluency. Raeburn is about 23 years of age, and all that he felt at the time he was struck dumb, was a kind of a giddy feeling for about a miunte. The President has removed the Collector at New Orleans, because he was not sufficiently active and vigilant in the service of the Spanish despots of Cuba. Devotion to these inhuman butchers and tyrants, is the essential "pre-requisitc" in an officeholder under the present administration. The new Collector, appointed in place of this removed one, is Christopher Adams, who is said to be a wealthy planter--a sugar planter probably who fears that Cuban independence will reduce the profits of his business, and on that account is Spanish enough for the administration.-- N. H. Patriot. At Campbellsville, Ky. last week, Taylor Murphy was found guilty of the murder of his wife, in May last, and was sentenced to be hung on the 10th of October. After killing his wife, he burned her body on piles of wood and brush in the field; and three small pieces of her bones, which were found, were the principal means of his conviction. Since his sentence, he has made a full confession of the crime. It is understood that the last steamer lo Europe carried out instructions to Mr. Barringer, our Minister at Madrid, to urge the Spanish Governraet to exercise mercy toward her unfortunate and misguided prisoners of the Cuba Iuvading Expedition. Bait. Pat. A young man living in Suflield, (says the Hartford, (Con.) Times,) whose name we did not learn, went into a stream on Saturday evening, in company with one or two friends, to bathe. After "diving" several times and remaining for some time in water, he concluded to come out "after taking one more dive." By way of adding a little variety to the operation, he made this last dive with his hat on; and the result was that es he plunged into the water, the elasticity of the air coutained in his hat was such as to force his head suddenly and unexpectedly one side, with such power as lo break his neck. He lived long enough to make a sign in the water to his companions, who brought him out and conveyed him home, where he died shortly after. A friehtful ooidcni occurred In one the Three River District Churches, near Montreal, (Can.) Sunday before last. A gallery gave way and precipitated 200 people below. Those underneath mostly escaped injury, but 50 of the fallen received contusions, some of them very serious, and one of the party was killed. A nephew of the Prelate was just receiving the order of the priesthood when the accident happened. The captain of a whale ship belonging to Wairen, K. I. with four of his crew, have been massacred by savages on one of the Ladrone Islands. In the len weeks from June 29th to Sept. 6th, the mortality of children in the city of New York has been very great no less than 4,557! 1049 were under one year. The Express of that city says this summer on the whole has been comparatively a healthy one for children. The number of deaths in New York week before last was 359, of which 25S were under teu years of age. A deranged -woman was carried over the Horse Shoe Fall at Niagara lately. A man was arrested for having pushed her into the stream, and di6chard for want'of evidence.

Cincinnati, Sept. 22. Yesterday a fire broke out in Coddington's extensive chair factory, on Vine street, which was totally destroyed, together with thirteen adjoining buildings, mostly second claps dwellings, partially destroyed. Coddington's loss So3. 000 insurance 815 000. Total loss $100,000. Total insurance about 825,000. EXPLOSION AND LOSS OF LIFE. Evansville, Sept. 22. 8 P. M. The steamer James Jackson exploded yesterday as she was leaving Shawneetown wharf, by which accident thirtyfive persons were killed and wounded. The Summit brought the news here. Some eight or tn others have since died. The two pilots of the boat were slightly injured. The engineer in charge of the engines, immediately after the explosion, is reported to have jumped overboard, got ashore, and took to ttie wood. A lady got aboard at Shawneetown and was killed before getting out of sight of her home. The Cumberland Valley was but a short distance below the Jackson at the time and returned and endeavored to aid all iu her power. She towed the wreck ashore. The Jackson is badly torn to pieces from the fore to the after part of her cabin. Her two boilers are smashed perfectly flat. FURTHER FROM HAVANA. The Cherokee brings information that forty-live of the American prisoners are ! still confined at Havana. The Spanish consul had left for Spain. Nearly seven- ! ty thousand dollars had been subscribed for the relief of the widows of those who fell in the defence of the Island. The funeral obsequies of those slain were celebrated at the Cathedral at Havana on the 9th. Crosses had been distributed to the soldiers by the Captain General, af'er which he had proceeded to Bahia nonda to inspect in person the disturbance of the invaders among the people. Sasta Fe, Ni.w Mexico, Aug. 1. The Indians in New Mexico. Allow me to call the attention of the 'powers that be' to the utter want of protection to the inhabitants of this Territory from Indian depredations. Indian depredations have become so frequent that there is now no dependence in the troops whatever. To whom the blame is to be attached, I cannot say. On the night of the 2d ult. a baud of Indians attacked the camp of Nesbit and Parker, and Hay, contractors, and run off seventy-nine mules and six splendid horses, f here was one man wounded. There were only eight Americans iu the camp, who were compelled to take a house adjoining. There one party of the Indians besieged them, while the other party broke down their wall and run off the mules. Colonel Brook's company was near at the time, but rendered no assistance. Another attack was made on the camp of Ardinger and Ormesby, near Cebolleta. The Indians killed three men and wound- j ed nine, and burned all the wagons. Several outrages have been committed throughout the country, and no later than last night an express was received bringing the information that the Indians had run off about 40 mules from the camp of Mr. R. Nesbit. This is the second attack made on this gentleman's property, at a loss to him of 611,000. Now, is it just that our citizens should sutler thtse losses? Is it just that this country should be filled with agents oflicers, and soldiers, and that at an enormous expense to the country, and yet our people be robbed, plundered, and murdered with impunity? The state of this coimtrv calls for attentiou of the government. There are thousands here willing to vo'tinteer to punish the savages, but our officials are quite indifferent on lb ouljot. Il'uoiington Union. THE YACHT AMERICA. The Yacht America, a schooner of 170 tons, commanded by J. C. Stevens, Esq., has created a great sensation in England, In various trials of speed she has proved to be swifter than any boat that has been brought to race with her. John Bull is completely non plussed. That a Yankee schooner should come over and beat his swiftest vessels is rather more than he likes lo endure. It is bail enough to be beaten in the great ocean race by Collins' mammoth strainers, but to be beaten on his own racing ground by an outlandish steamer from America is to much for him. He has expressed strong suspicion of foul play, that there must be some secret machinery in the vessel; but as he cannot find any such motive power, he has fairly given up beat, as far as the race has been tried. But not willing to yield the ground entirely, he is fitting up a vessel in his best style for another and we presume a final trial. This proves the superiority of American shipbuilding. Our steamers are now acknowledged to be better sailers than English steamers. Their trips are performed in better time, notwithstanding the alltdged superiority of English machinery. P. S. Since the above was written news has arrived that the last great rare has been run, and the America has r.nm! off completely victorious Constitution.

- - ARRIVAL OF GEN. LANE. Gen Lane, delegate elect to Congress from Oregon, and iat Governor oi that territory, arrived here yesterday from his new home on the Pacific, preparatory to taking his seat in the National legislature. We welcome the faithful servant lu the republic, the " Marion " of the Mexican v.ai back among his old friends and admirers, and doubt not that here and every where else on the road to his former home in Indiana where, we learn, he purposes sojourning until Congress sits his presence will be hailed with delight by the people. In his long career in political life he has bextl eminently distinguish -d for the purity of his principles and the unwaving consistency with which he adheres to them; and his military history is equally famed for the brili ncy of achievements and the resolute valor with which thy were accomplished. We ae free to say that with the exception of Buena Vista alone where he was also an actor the great disparity of force he fought against iu several instances had no parallel during the war. After the capture of the city of Mexico it was his indefatigable pursuit of Rey, Jarauta, and Santa Anna that demolished, so speedily, the remnant of the Mexican army yet in the field, and routed the bands of guerrillas that covered the road?. We have known him to inarch with cavalry, over mountains impracticable to any feebler resolve than his, at the rate of sixty miles a day, iu pursuit of the enemy; and jet when the jaded soldier had the bare ground, without teut or blanket for his couch, not a murmur was heard, for "Old Joe" fared no better than his men. We have never known an officer whose trops were so devoted to hin, and. after the immortal Washington, cm find no eq-tal to the feeling in history, save in the entire abnegation of the Frenchmen when under Napoleon. The hope exists in many a bosom that our 'Marion' m-ty speedily be elevated to a position commensurate with his services to Iiis country and his unostentatious viitues, and when the

tune comes we shall not b sorry for it. New Orleans True Delta, Sept. IfA. Yesterday (per bark P. Sonic,) wc received a letter of the 27th ult. from our Havana correspondent. Its most interesting statements have been anticipated by the Cherokee, but we note a few points of some interest, een now. Our correspondent states that when Crittenden and his party were taken they were separated from their arms. Starvation and fatigue hud, we presume, ro enfeebled thein that they found carrying their arms an intolerable burden, and cast them despairingly away. This answers the often asked question, of why they made no resktancee? Our correspondent also writes that he frankly confesses himself deceived by the swelling communications of gasconading Cubin Creoles, and sets the m down, in ;he bitterest terms, as false, treacherous, lying, and totally unworthy of freedom. Even at last date (prior lo (the capture of Lopez) he begs that, for Heaven's sake, the lives of no more gallant Americans may be periled for so selfish and unmanly a race. N. O. Crescent. A VOICE FROM MICHIGAN. We take the following from the letter of a friend in Michigan, a Democrat ol standing and intelligence: "I have just returned from a long visit through Northern New York and New England, and the people are inclined I learned lo try a new candidate. Judge Woodbury appeared to be tlte choice of the masses, but sad "circumstances" will prevent him now from being in the field.

Louis Intelligencer: j lion of his daughter was, and that l.e Amongst the visitors, the most distin-i (S.) must viarry her. A long c i:sulguished is President Fillmore, who wins! tation followed, in the course of whiiii golden opinions on all sides by the quiet ; Gill left the room, and returning shortly, dignity, the cordial courtesy, and uupre- with a butcher kuife in his hand, advantending simplicity of his manner. To b ' ced unobserved upon Seymour, an t most imposing and manly person, he struck him a desperate lick acro.-s th unites a frank, haidsome and intellectual lower part of the abdomen, makiu" an

face, which, combined w ith his easy, graceful and simple manners, at once wins the heartsof his visitors. In all the personal qualities that should adorn the Chief Magistrate of a great nation, President Fillmore is eminently distinguished, whilst, in my judgment, he is not the less to be commended for his admirable sagacity, discretion and patriotism in the conduct of public affairs. But as I desire rather to describe,,, rtoät I have seen than lo scribble about politics, I leave the President, only noting an incident which occured yesterdaj , as illustrative of the republican equality which prevails

here. The service is held in the ball scicians had no hope of bis recovciy. room, there being no house of worship! but on Sunday, the symptoms were son. ft on the premises.

Such an incident would inspire the ificd at it. In the house of worship, the Heeling honors w hich men bestow, should be forgotten, and prince or potentate should stand on the same level with the rest of frail humanity.
