I Judge Stuart is one of the ablest and best men in the District maintaining an unblemished reputation; and the only regret any one can honestly feel at his j nomination, is that the Supreme Beech! of Indiana, is to be deprived of his able j counsel and valuable services. i XI ic ISail Road. 'It is now pretty well understood that the Cars from Laporte, will not reach this place by the 4ih. and several of our citizens intend taking a pleasure rido on thai portion then finished, (probably all except 3 or 4 miles,) and spending the lih I Liporte.. The large and beautiful new front building of the Edwards Hotel is rapidly enclosing, and assuming the appearance of a well arranged first class Hotel. Dr. Eddy.-This gentleman is not a can diJats before the people for any office; but no one can fail to be forcibly struck with that fervent spirit of true patriot Um, evinced in his letter which appears in the proceedings of the Congressional convention, published in this paper declining a nomination for Congress. Col. Walker was equally liberal and patriotic in his course, during the deliberations of the Convention-. A Nice Little Business. The annua) earnings of the several lines of railroads that connect at Chicago, IUionis, wiih N. York city, exceed twenty-five millions of dollars. This fact taken in connection with lie vast amount of produce 'and merchandise transported between the two points by water carriage, conveys some tolerable idea of the resources of the Great West. - Luxurious Railroad Cabs. Ths Detroit Advertiser says the cars on the Illinois Central railroad, for comfort rind convenience, excel those "cf any other road in the West. One of them contains fix state-rooms, each room having two seatswith cushioned backs lo enough for a person to lie upon. The. backs of the seats are hung. with hinges at the . edge so that they may ba turned up at pleasure, thus forming two single berths, one over thi other, where persons may - sleep with all the comfort imaginable. Ia oas end of the car is a small washroom, with marble wash-bowls, looking- . glasses, &c. ' On the opposite side of the car from the state-rooms is a row of seats . with revolving backs. similar to barber's chairs, so arranged that the occupant may sit straight or recliue in an easy attitude at pleasure, - The other fire can have each two,or three similar state-rooms. vs Even these conveinences are surpassed hy I0D16 of the lately-constructed cars ic France. On the Orleans railway people can now goto bed -fairly, undress, and , have as good a night's rest as they could get under a four poster.. For this the traveler pays the price of two seats. Fourtlt of July. .The readers of the Banner who could not be forced into the support of that other piper, for the purpose of breaking down their old and well tried establishment have been very politely invited by the committee of arrangements, or some . other committee, to stay away from the 4th of July celebration, or they would certainly have had the Programme published in the Banner also. Not the first syllable of. a copy was furnished us, nor the first intimation given by the commit tee of their wish for U3 to' publish it. - The Banner has a larger circulation in the county than the , Democrat, and its proprietors well know it, but we must naturally infer that it was the intention to have the smaller instead of the larger number invited.-.. , We do hope howerer, that our elf rer

fiiend of the 'Edwards Hotel--who, we learn is to prepare a dinner on the occasion will hare as many guests as he can possibly attend to those too, who will cheerfully foot the bill, as they are sure to get the' worth of their money. Congressional Convention.

safe and ipeedy communication by mili tary and postal roads, through our own territory, between the Atlantic and Pacific coasts of this Union, ' and that ' it is the duty of the Federal government to exercise' promptly all its - constitutional power, for th attainment of that object. Mr. Brownficld, of St. Joseph, submitted a letter from the Hon.' Norman Eddy, which was read by the Secretary, as follows. - To the Prtiidtnt of the Democratic Con tenlion, at Bradford, Indiana. Sir: It has been intimated to me that possibly a contingency might arise, that would in the judgment of the Convention render it advisable to place my name again in nomination for Congress. I have availed myself of all proper occasions, since the election of 1654, to say to friends who have written or spoken to me in reference to such a nomination, that under no circumstances likely to occur, would I be a candidate, With this declaration early and persistently before the Democratic party of the District, 1 can hardly imagine a state of facts, that would bring my name into the convention; but in order to remove all doub, it is due, os well to the delegates composing it as to myself, to say in advance, that I am constrained by considerations that leavo me no choice, to ad-

j here to my former declaration. My most intimate friends will under stand the grounds of this decision, and will-eppreciate the motives which dictate it. ,. At least they can say if occasion should make it pioper to say anything, that no unmanly fear no distrust of parly friends no diminution of zenl for principles, in the success of which, I solemnly believo the country and its consti tution can only find refuge and safety and no oilier unworthy feeling, unbecoming tli pin or myself, has influenced my determination. , . As an old fiiend 6c corrvide. who has stool with them in sunshine and storm, and marked their constancy and devotion to our common faith who has been honored by them and more honored when he fell with them may I not ask in all your deliberations harmony, concord nay sacrifice if need be remembering the cnuse. and that our bleesed Union is j the mighty stake for which we battle. I have no right to fenr their prudence or patriotism, yet they will patdon me if my dcsir! for their success, betrays me into over anxiely. He, in whoso illustrious lifr, there is every guarantee that love of country, or doating confidence can ask and whoso noble virtues have embellished a public sacrifice of , more than 30 years. including period of deep peril to our republican system; he upon whom leaned the strong aim of Jackson, and found support the able Senator and compeer of Grundy, Forsyth, Wright and Benton, the eminent and accomplished Secretary and MinisterJames Buchanan, our standard bearer, will lead us to a victory as glorious as it will be imperishable. That the old 9lh will share in the triumph, as ill the contest, I have not n doubt. Your friend, NORMAN EDDY. St. Paul, M. T. June 9, 1856. Ou motion of Mr. Ross it was ordi red, that this letter bo received and recorded in the proceedings of this Convention. The President now announced the order for nominations of candidates to represent the Oth Congressional District of the State of Indiana in the next Congress of the United State?.

Resolved, That we approve of the nomination of. Kentucky's fuvoriie son and gifted statesman, John C Breckinridge, for' the Vice Presidency;, and that with the names of Buchanan and Breckinridge inscribed upon our banners, we cannot fail to win a victory that will do honor to the national sentiment of the country, and beat back the cloud of intolerance of secret political conclaves, the combinations that would rob the people o the right of self-government, and the piratical agitators that would "let the Union slide," and by a singly blow would destroy the glorious fabrics of our fathers.' . ' On motion of Mr. Graham, it vras( . Ordered. That. the.

Great excitement w ioiieti in San Francisco, on the 20;.h uh.i by the murder of Mr.'Kmg by Casej and Cörs. In consequence, the busincs houses wero all closed and draped in morning. The mudercrs have been takn from the jail by an armed pose, and were to have been executed on the day following Mr. King's funeral. - From the St. Louis Democrat ' Colcctl Benton's Leiter of IrceptaDce. . To the Citizens of Missouri: I have come to tho determination at this place to accept lha Diocratic nomination for the office of Governor of our State, induced to it by no paltry calculation of the chances for. an election, but 'wholly and entirely upon consideration of public good. The nomination of Mr. Buchanan for the Presidency determines my course in relation to the Governorship. I consider him the safest chance for preserving the peace of the country, now greatly endangered, both at home and abroad, and believing him to be the bokt chance for peace, I hold it to be the duty of these who are in favor of that object to assist in his election; and for one I shall do so in a public capacity, if you invest me with one, and as a private citizen of Mis souri, if not. I proceed to the State immediately, first landing at C3pe Gindeau, and then proceeding to other parts of the country. Your ff llow-citizen, THOMAS II. BENTON. Cincinnati, Ohio. June 7. 1S5G. Sr. Fillmore's Acrcptance of his Nominuioa. Washisgton, June 12. Mr. Fillmore's letter accepting his nomination appears in the American Organ to day. The letter is long, occupying several columns. In closing he says: "Hiving the experience of past service in the adtninistra tion of the Government, I may bo permit' ted to refer to that if the chuico of the convention be sanctioned by the people, I shall, with the same scrupulous regard for the rights of every 6ectiu of the Union whon then inflirenced my conduct, endeavor to perform every duly confided to tho Executive by the Constitution and the laws. As the proceedings of the convention have markad a new era in the history of the country by bringing new political organ:zitions in ihe approaching Presidential cauvass. I take occasion to assert my full conGdence which I regard as springs out of public necessity, forced upon the country to a large extent by unfortunate sectional divisions and a dangerous tendency of those divisions towards disunion. It alone in my opinion of all political agencies now existing, is possessed of power to silence this violent, disastrous agitation and restore harmony by its own examplo of moderation and forbearance. It has a claim, then, in my-judgment, upon every earnest friend of integrity and of the uoion. So estimating this party, both in the present positiou and its future destiny. I freely adopt its great leading principles as announced in the recent declaration of the National Council in Philadelphia, holding, them just and liberal to every . true interest of the country, and wisely -.adapted to the establishment and support of an enlight ened, safe and effective American policy in full accord with the ideas and hopes of his fathers of the'Republic, I expect shortly to sail for America, and ,r.th the blessing of Divine providence hope soon to tread my native soil. m : ;:. .A decayed tcoth retained in the ;head,i is apt to lay the foundation for ; nervous and neuralgic disorders.

an iNsuaar.cTios ajijsc the Cjsvict3 Between six and scveu o'clock last vc ning a fire broke out in the Indiana Penitentiirv, immediately opposite this city. The firo had a very threatening appear ai.ee, end from this side of tho river it appeared as if th whole institution v.b !lkt)iolriif..l lit P imam The fire was not completely extinwisli ed till nruly 12 o'clock, and was con fined to the hospital, which was entirely destroyed. It was st oa fire in the third story, which was filled with furniture, belonging to Mr. Patterson, th lessee. The loss of Mr. P. is from 8B.0C0 to 810,000. and tho loss of the building which falls on the Sta, is from 814.000 to 15,000. Other buildings were more or I S3 dnmnged by water. The ofiicers of the institution, as soon ns they discovered the fire, put ihe con victs into the cells, many of whom were not at nil mvnre cTlhe disaster. . The building was set on fire by s uno of the convicts. It appears lha. Mr. Pttcrson's lease expired on Sunday, pud yesterday inoining the State assumed the charge of the institution. Mr. Milier was the newly appointed warden. It appears that e report had gained currency among the" prisoners that the State had no constitutional right to retain them under its own charge, and that thry could be all liberated by a writ of habeas corpus. In view of this. Gov. Wright addressed them on Sunday, end infornitd th?m that any attempt to rt&ist ihe authority of the officers would be piomptlv met. Yesterday morning eighteen of the convicts went out and sit down on a plot of grass, refusing to work. Rev. Mr. Woods, mor ul instructor of tho institution, hsd a conversation nith thtm on tho subject of their conduct, when all but a few appeared to be iatisfied to rttum to their u-oik. The leader among live con-puutors was a man named Bitou, who is reprpsenttd as u desper&to fellow, lie his only one year to serve and hrts been in tho institution SOM13 four cars, There is no doubt that the building was fired by some of the prisoners fcr the purposa cf gaining iheir liberty. During the excite ment, 6evrral of them had gone to woik to make an opening in the walls of their cells for the purpose of escaping, but they were discovered and promptly kccured' There are about 200 prisoners in the instittiti his. A few trustworthy, who have but a s'.ort lime to servo and ore allowed the liberty of working out-Joors and the privilog- of the guird -house, assisted at the fir. When we left the place of disaster, 11 o'clock, the roll had not been tailed, and it was r.ot known whether any of them had left, though it was supposed that in view of all ihe circumstances surrounding them, none attempted it. ; Besides the JefiVrsonviile fire rompanics, th Fiankli.i, Hope and Kentucky companies, with their engines and hose, the Relief company with their hose, and the Hook and Ladder company, all from this city, did good service at the . fire. The Relief and Union companies were at the ferry landing ready to go over, but ho ferry boat refused to take them in consequence cl ihe great, weight she had already pnoard. , .. !:. We notice that Gov. Wright was present, who when the fire first broke out was in this city. The Governor and the commissioners appointed for ibnt purpose were engaged yesterday in appraising the properly belonging tothe. late lessee-, which waa to be taken by the State. Wo neglected to mention that noiia of the prisoner's were injured. " ' 7 ' . Louisville Jour.-lllh: The Old Wnios.-In a rece nt discussion ir. the Senate, Mr. . Douglas , made the fol'owing. lucid and forcible saiatcment of the tiue1 position f parties' t it reference to the main question now before the peoples r : ; t!'5ir. In. 1852,. Whigs tand . Detnorrats stood on the same great principle, of State equality and Eelf-gbverhmeiil' in the Territories, tubjectto the Consllution.' The Nebraska Bill resulted from the principles affirmed jn. tho ,CompromisaMeasures of 1850. and reaffirmed in the platform of tho Whigs and Democrats. Hence a Wliig in'ordef to be consisleni with tho ! piatlorm of 15a2,- must - eel the Democratic party now in support of the j same principle, and all men who go of er M the Black Republican movement are

deserters from their principles in ; 1852. i whether they were then Democrats or j

Whigs. ' "I am glad that wo have come to an agreement on both ßides'of the chamber on this point. There are some men claiming to be Democrats, acting whh the Senator from New Hampshire, who will not deem it so palatable. There no some men claiming' to ''be true Whigs, acting with him, who will not deem it so palatable; nevertheless it is true, and therefore, Whigsand Democrats 'should ; unite in the assertion of that great truth.'
