The depredations committed by citizens of Clay county, some time ago, upon the Birch Creek reservoir, have lately been repeated, and it will bo seen by late o facial documents in th:s paper, from the Governor, that he has ordered out the militia to suppress the mobs, until the breaks created by their lawless acts, are repaired. The Brookville American says that a Turner is in circulation there that the county commissioners, who are anti prohibitory men. mean to assess an extra tax of five cents on the hundred dollars to, malie a fund to purchase liquors with, to bo sold under the provisions of the law. The American protests against it, and siys no sensible man will pay it. Poor Frostec:. The Cassopolis Democrat of ihe Oth inst, says accounts of the insect in white wheat continue to pour in. Since our last, we have conversed with several farmers from different parts of the comity, (Cass county, Mich.) but only to learn that in every locality the Thent fields present a gloomy piospect. Ml TUUm Indianapolis American is the title of a new paper just commenced at that city, by Hitch c Brothers. It is of the Xante American stripe. IIB --gJ. Chops ix Ohio. The Ohio State JournaZ of a late dite says that the .prospect for an abundant wheat crop in that State was never better. More ground is in cernthirt wrs ever before planttd in Ohio, and it is in fine condition. Oats, j oHioes, spring wheat, &c, are all look ins; very finely, and promise an abundant yield. Apples and peaches will, in all probability, be very abundant. Tears, plums cherries, &c, all promise an abundant yield.

Clay County Outrages. 0;ir readers will find -subjoined,' the proclamation of the Governor in relation to the outrages which have again. been committed upon the property belonging to ihe Wabash and Erie canal. It will be seen by the proclamation, that the owners of this public work are now suffering from the fifth act of violence per- . petrated against them by a gang of out--JasF; and, by His Excellency's letter to th.vShjifpTvf Clay Counfy, a copy of vriltL U also published below, that such force ia t!so rutl.prized to he called out, tz wt.l t zl efTeCtually resulfin a 6upl': reszicz L;r.cürrence?fa repetition of w rrieh must result in effects of a most ca-lamrtous-character to the people along the line of the Canal. General John W. Dodd, of Marion county, and Col. J. B Xees. of Clay county, Aids of Gov. Wright, are ordered to the scene of the disturbances, with in- - structions tn render the Sheriff of Clay county that assistance for carrying out . the plans for the restoration of law and irder which the Executive has considered necessary in. the precent emergency.' Incase of a refusal on the part of the authorities of Clay county to execute the orders with which General Dodd and . Colonel Nees are commissioned, it is understood that the County in question will afterwards be declared in a state oi insurrection by-the Governor, and that such a military force will be put upon the ground as must result in the execution uf. the lavs of the State of Indiana. ..We regard the course pursued in this matter as much a protection to the people of Clay county as to the property of th canal Company. w A few more outrstresref the kind 'mentioned in the Gorernor'ß proclamation, will bring upon the heads of th? guilty end innocent of Clay

county the vengeance of the people along the canil, who, in this time of partial famine, depend upon the navigation, which is sought to be destroyed, almost entirely for sustenance. Such a force should be sent to tho scene of action as would bring every scoundrel, engaged in breaking the canal aqueduct, before the court6 where they would.

June 7th, 1S55, To the people of Indiana: Whereas, it is represented to me, and this Department is in actual possession of information from public and private sources, that the outrages alluded to in my proclamation of May the 24th, are again repeated, under circumstances of deep aggravation, by which still more po-rieui-Jdamase lias been done to the Wabash and Erie Canal in Clay county; and whereas, these outrages are confessedly the result of a combination of persons known and denominated as 'Black Boys,' or Regulators, whose nim and object is to visit punishment upon those who offend them, either in the execution of public duties or in the private intercourse of citizenship: And whereas, it is mani fest that these combinations rnd associations are illegal, d-argerous, and subversive of tho public peace, and the rightful protection of person and property within this Stato: And whereas it is represented to me, by good men living in Clay, Green Creek Resorvoir, that the destruction of that necessary feeder of the Canal is to them a great private loss, and its violation a great public outrage: And whereas, f:o:n recent inflimatory letters received from unknown persons, at this Department, and elsewhere, there is a manifest intention to intimidate and arrest tho course of public justice by tho debasing agency of midnight assaults and the firebrand of the incendiary for remedy tvhereof it is declared That the Wabash and Erie Canal in Clay county, is now under the immediate charge of the State authorities, for the purpose of being repaired by the Trustees aforesaid, the officers and agents of the Trusters having been warned off at the peril of thei r lives, and by an armed band of men, concealed by masks and other disguises. This protection is due to it, and to them, not only because they are in the discharge of a legal duty in supplying the Canal with water, by means of the said resorvoir, but because every interest suffers by its destruction. Hundreds of thousands of dollars are now invested in boats, produce, and labor on the Canal, w hich is all liable to be turned worth less on the hands of the owners by the crimir.al and misguided conduct of the persons engaged at and near the tcsorvoir. To enumerate thes-5 outrages, and recall the forbearance manifested under such a state of lawlessness, the Executive calls them up in the order in which they have occurred, viz; 1. Destruction of Birch Creek Resor voir, June 22d, 1654; 1. Attempt to destroy waste-way of same, My Cthv ISS-i;-- - 3. Attempt to burn Eel River Dam, August, 1S51; 4. Destruction of Birch Creek Resorvoir My 10th. 1S55; 5. Warning of men sent to repair the same, May 31st, 1655; 6. Partial destruction of aqueduct over Birch Creek, May 31st, 1855; C. Mobbing, lynchiugand tearingdown the house of a citizen, May 24th, 1S55. 8. Burning of shanties, destruction of property, and turning the inmates out of doors, near the Resorvoir, June 2d. 1S55. This catalogue of outrages is sufficiently aggravated to call for the most decided and energetic measure! of correction For the character of our State, our people, our institutions, and the peace and prosperity of society, I sincerely hope that these things will not be re-enacted. The laws must be enforced our happy institutions must be preserved public property must be protected, and the private citizen secured in all his rights. If injuries are inflicted if the rights of the citizen aro impaired or taken away by these or similar works, the courts of the country are at hand to apply the remedy. I cannot doubt but that that portion of our citizens who are now led away by passion and strange deljsions, and are ready to strike down the law and its ministers, come to reCect upon their conduct and the consequences that must ensue, they will cease to disturb tho peace and harmony of the whole country. The work recently destroyed is now being repaired under the protection of a force ordered by this Department; and I. therefore, call upon all good citizens of Clay county and elsewhere, and all ofiicers huldir?- anv relation to the Govern ment. to aid in securing the public peace the tecutity of the public property, and in bringing to punishment the per sons who have eo recently set at defiance the authority of the Law, and the right of tho citizen. This Department vested by the constitution with the power to see that the laws are executed," to supPTps insurrection, is firmly resolved to ! bring the whole, military force of the State, if necesaryr to put down these lawless proceedings, nnd to secure the qti'et rien of the laws. It is farfeelter that millions should be expended, and even lives sacrificed, than that a lawless band of men or private individuals, should usurp the authority of law, and rule a day or an hour in madness in our happy State. In testimony whereof, 1 hate hereunto set my hand, nnd caused to be l. s J affixed the seal of the Sate, at the city of Indianapolis, this seventh day of June, A. D. 1655. By the Governor, JOSEPH A. WRIGHT. ErasSIus B. Collins, Sec'y of State. Executive Depabthent, Indiana.) Indianapolis, June 7, 1855 To Lot Loving, Esq., Sheriff Clay Co.: The extraordinary state of things existing in Clay County, and the unlawful proceedings attending the destruction of the Birch Creek Besorvoir, and other works appertaining thereto, and the out Images on individual citirsns, demands

from this Department a thorough and prompt interference, as it challenges the attention of yourself and other officers charged with the preservation of the public peace. I need hardly say to you, or to any other right-minded citizen of Clay county, that the outrages to which I refer can not be tolerated without utter disgrace to the State and to your immediate conn munity. If you do not sympathize in these sentiments, I have mistaken your character. I have entrusted to mv militarv aids. Gen. Dodd, and Col. Nees, of Clay county, this letter, and they will confer with you on the subject matter of the late outrages; and adopt such measures, in conjunction with yourself, as will effectually repres? the outlawry so disgraceful to cs as a people.

There is and can be, no middle ground ! in this matter. Tho laws must be pre- j served at all hazards, and the persons ! and property of cur citizens placed under their guarantee and protection. This shall be done by the whole power of the Stato, let the penalty fall where it may. These gentlemen will assist you in bringing to justice all offenders against the laws, as it is your sworn duty to repress outbreaks against tho public peace, and to protect the lives and property of the citizen whereve they nre threatened or assailed. "You are also directed to operate with Gen. Dodd and Col. Nees in the organization of such a force as will secure the peaceable repair of the works lately destroyed by the lawless persons refened to in this and former official letters, and of whose acts you have been doubtless made acquainted. This force is intended to preserve the good people of your county from a 'repetition of former ccts of violence, which it i your solemn duly, as well as mine, to prevent by all means placed at our disposal. In making arrests for the rtcent outrage?, Gen. Dodd will refer you to able counsel, who will give Fitch legnl advico as mav be necessary in the promises. The control of this force, its organintin and numbers, will be left entirely to the discretien of Gen Dodd and C1. Nees. to whom you are referred for particulars. In haste, yours respectfully, JOSEPH A. WRIGHT. Locomotives. In the United States there are 70 establishments for the manufacture of locomotive engines in busy times they make at least 1200 in a year, employ above 900 hands, whose wages are about $2,500.000 per annum.

Gkeat Britain. A great debate took place in Parliment on the evening of the 24th. DTsreali brought forward a mojtion of want of confidence expressing that I drlirnent cannot adjourn for a recess without expressing its dissatisfaction with the ambJgious language und uncertain'conduct ol the Government, in reference to the question of peace or war, and that under thrso circumstances the House feels it a duty to declare that it will continue to give every support to the Queen in the prosecution . of the war, until, in conjunction wilh her allies, sho shall obtain a sale and honorable peaco. Sir Francis I3aring,"on behalf of the Government, offered n9 an amendment that the House having seen with regret tho failure of ihe Vienna Conference, it will continue to give any support to continue the war until an honorable peace be obtained. Sir Wm. Ileathcote moved to alter the amendmtnt by inserting the words, "'and still cherish a desire that the comrnunicauou lupii.gicM u-"w u mal cue. . it,... cessiui issue. Mr. Gladstone approved of the amendment of Mr. Ileathcote. DTsrealiand his supporters lashed the Government, especially Lords Palmerston and Russell. Lord J. Russell repVied, defending his conduct at Vienna; when tho debate was adjourned. The debate was Tesumed on Friday evening, when the House divided, the vote being 219 in favor ofDTsreali's motion and 319 against it a majority of 100 for the Government. The bill for abolishing newspaper stamps was read for the second time in the House of Lords. The Bishop of Oxford has moved for the papers concerning the Canadian Bishops arid Church. On the 24th Lord Palmerston held a private meeting of the members of Parliment at his house. Over 200 were pitkent. Lord Palmerston asserted the unanimity of his Government, and declared his intention of proseutng the war. Other members also spoke, and on the whole the proceedings were harmonious. It is expected that, by lhe20th of June, every available man in Great Britain, belonging to the infantry regiments, will have embarked for the war. Some changes have been made in the war Department, by placing the ,Ordi nance Depatment under the control of tho! Minister of wax; ': " - '

Breadstuff ia Canada. The Montreal Commercial Advertiser of tho 1st inst. says that, since the opening of navigation; the arrivals of flour at Montreal have averaged about 2,400 barrels a day, considerable portion of which hae gone forward to Quebec, and there is tio ground tn believe that there is any large quantity in arrear. The receipts are in excess of last year. There is no accumulation of flour at Montreal, and thero is a decline in price, not because there is less need of the article, but because money is tight and prices are beyond the speculating point. The consumption of flour in Lower Canada, the Advertiser estimates at 1.500 birrels per day the actual stock remaining of this years receipts being 30,000 bairels. As the amount required for country con sumption as its supplies become exhausted, will be much larger, Ifidinn Corn, as it arrives, is freely taken fur this purpose; and, although the receipts are largely in excess of last year, the siles are largo also, and thero is a smaller amount in store than there was in the corresponding period of 1554. The Advertiser thinks the prices in that maiket will not fall between now and harvest. The Liquor Law. The 12th of June is close at hand. We aro glad to see, that so far as this community is concerned, there appears to be the right kind of spirit among those who will most suffer under the Prohibitory Liquor Law. Thse enspged directly in the traffic of liquor, and receiving their support from the trade, seem to be satisfied that law anil order shall prevail, the will of the majoritj reign paramount for the time being, and this Prohibitory experiment fully tested. Public opinion here is decidedly in favor of the law, and when public opinion is thus decided in a community, it is not likely it ami the law will be disregarded at the snmetime. We trust there will not bo i man in this city, who will, by his conduct after the 1 2 t!i of June, render it necessary for the p rallies of the Prohibitory Law to be enforced in his ense for these penalties will most certainly be brought down on the offender. We wish to see this experinifnt tried fii. 1 it proves a bad cr ! decidedly-inefl'-ctual law, this same tr.a f i01'1)' xvi,J labor cither for its total abrocation or improvement. Er cnsville Journal. KirtES run Kansas. It is stated that some hundreds of Sharpe's rifles have been sent out from Ma6aJuijtt, at the request of tlie new i;nmifnts, to assist in the election. With this, we understand, the "Aid Association" have nothing to do, it is entirelj an individual a lTd i r. Things have ccme to a pretty pass when "rifles" are to "assist in our American elections. The violent and mJefinsible conduct of the Missourians residing on the border, in interfering in the ntj '?,rs ' Knfsa m a lombie inanr.er. is ' the cause of the "material aid now being sent out from Massachusetts in the shape of "rifles.'' It is high time that the disgraceful scenes of turbulence and bloodshed which have thus far characterized the organization of '.he government in Kansas, were put an end to, for they are scandalizing the country. Upon Senator Atchison nnd his friends in Missouri rests the chief odium, of the late highhanded proceedings. Cin. Enquirer. COThe Coming Uauvest. Tho prospect of a bountiful harvest, which but a few days ago cheered the farmers of our State, is, we regret to learn, sadly clouded. In this county, the ravages of tho fly in the wheat treatec to disa point the hopes and anticipations of our people. In some of tho townships, wo learn upon reliable authority, the havoc is so great that thero will not bo wheat enough harvested for tho consumption of the inhabitants. That there will bo in tho whole county j much less than a midling crop seems cur tain. The cool weather of the past week has been favorable, but the prospect now is, that tho most that can be hoped for is that the croj- will not prove a total failure. Instead cf being thankful for an abundant harve, we shall have occasion to bo thankful for any harvest at all. In other parts of the State, as we lenrn from our exchanpes.there ia the same o ' - cornplaiii t. Coldicaier Sentinel, 1st. Xew Method or Destroying FleasFamily of Negroes Bl-kseu to Death. The Memphis Eagle of th- 29lh says: 'A fire occurred several days since on the plantition of Col. A. II. Pegues, of Lifayette, Miss., by which a negro cabin ai:d a colored woman aud her three children were burned. The fire oiiginated ia this singular manner: The negro man, whose wife and children were asleep in the cabin, was very much annoyed by fleas, and supposing they were in great numbers under his house, he concluded ho would destroy them by firo without doing any other damage, and accordingly he went aud procured an armful of shunks, nnd raising a plank in the floor of his cabin scattered them on the ground under tho floor and set fire to . them. There being much combustible matter about the cabin, because of very dry weather, it was but a moment being enveloped in flames. Thus the whole family perished except tho man, who barely made his escape." m m Mexico. Tho Mexican news recently received at New Orleans indicates a state of affairs in that country unfavorable to the long' continuance of Santa Anna's power, This is the opiuion of the New Orleans press.

. .... . I The motion for a new trial in the case ot William Arrison. says tho Cincinnati J Commercial, was decided in the District Court. Judge Hartley delivered the opinion. The writ of error was prosecuted by the defendant to reverse the decision of the Cri minai Cou't. The ground relied on in the record were that the indictment was insufficient; that the prisoner was refused the option of electing to be tried in the District Court: that the panel of the petit jury was not legally filled. These assignments of error were all overruled; but a motion for a new trial was granted on the ground that the Judge of the Criminal Court erred in instructing the Jury that if they found the prisoner guilty as charged in the indictment, "they should specify that he was I guilty of murder in the first degree" without leaving to them the discretion to find him guilty of any ether grade of homicide. On this ground the verdict was set aside, and the case remanded to the Court of Common Pleas of Hamilton county for further proceedings. Reware of bills headed "The Exchange Bank of D Ball & Co..

They did not purchase the good opinion of John Thompson, broker, Wallstreet, publisher of the Bank Xote Reporter. The parties issuing bills of the Adrian Insurance Co. understood their business better; they got Thompson to quote the trash in his Reporter at only 3 per cent, discount. The ''bills headed Tho Exchange Bank of D. Ha 1 & Co.. Grand ltd puis.

We learn from gentlemen who lefi Lafayette Saturday morning, that cn Friday evening, the Jury in the case of Abe Rice, one of the notorious Fnhrenbaugh murderers, brought in a verdict of murder in the first degree. The prisoner is said to have maintained unusual indifference during the trial, and freequently made jocose remarks about the number of spectators, and tho money that could be made by charging a quarter a head for admission to the show, A motion for a new trial was made, but of course has not yet been decided. There are two or three others, who will most probably share the fate of Abe. The frequency nnd appalling atrocity of crimes in the Slate, call for a vigorous and prompt enforcement of laws. Journal.

On the night in question some men at work in the mill heard a cry for help, and" immediately went out to render assistance; but the cry was not repeated, and it being dark nothing was seen of the unhappy man, He is said to have been intoxicated when last seen.

JACOB KNOBLOCK, S I would remark in relation to the indebtedness of the county, that several items of expense are unusually laTge. The expense of jurors, poor and criminals, arnomt to the enorI mous sum of 81,700 22.. The ptfrchase of a 1 tractor land for a Poor Farm, has increased the uicuicuucBs ui 111c cuuiuy CJ,ow. 1 ne uelinquent county Revenue runs up to the unprecedented amount of 81,800. In addition to this, tie county owns $9.r0 in the stock of the Fort Wayne and Chicago Railroad. Were these amounts available, they would reiluce the indebtedness of the county about one half. In order to pay off the indebtedness and the current expenses, the per cent for county purposes will have to be slightlg increased over what it was last yearj which will be cheerfully paid by the greater portion of those who are not delinquent. 1 - - '. t.
