DONATION OF I'l'l'ilC LANDS. Congress on the 22d of July, 18G2, pissed an act donating to cah of the Slates not yet in rebellion, an atiount of nubüe l.u,d8 e.iual to .'10.000 acres for paoh gen.i'.or and llepresen a presen ative iu Con gress to which the States are respectively entitled by the apportionment under the census of 1 8.10. This entitled Indiana to ."1)0,000 acres When -ver there are public lands iu the State uibjct to sale at private ontry at 81,25 per acre, the (lurmtity to which the Sla'e U entitled shall he selected from such lands, but if there are no sue h lands in th Slate, or r.ot enough, tho Secretary of the Interior is to isuo to the Siate laud scrip foi the number of acres. This scrip cannot bo located by the State to which it is issued, but Must bo sold; but 'die purchasers may IccaU u uj ot. any of the unappropriated lands of the United State subject to sah: a', private entry at 81,25 tr les por acre. Certain conditions are nppenb d to this a t requiring State legislation iy the various Slates to make it acceptsnc. valid. The G ;veri.or ree omuienda the n-cesary legishitim and tho a. ceptance of tho rant by our Legislature. He further reconjnendv that the grant boused for the et;lishment of an ffi cient Agricultural PnfessorsLip, with a sufficient experimental irin attached, in the various colleges of tin Slate already established. WEALTH OF THE FT.TE: The mineral resources of tht State are but imperfectly understood. Nearly on fourth of the w hole area of the State is a coal field, a large part of which k of the finest quality. Excellent iron ore is' found in vast quantities in many counlies, and although but little woiked as yet, will b the source of great wealth and proKuritv in the future. Throughout the Stato excepting a few small localities, the soil is rich and fertile, capable of producing all the grains and grasses in tV" greatest abundance. The State abound.! in fine timber and living streams of water, and in every respect presents tho fuililifls for an easy and profntable Agriculture, while.

abundance of co d and water power far-1 t nishes the means for. manufacturing on thejT

largest scale and cheapest terms. From surveys, geological examination, and evcry source of knowledge open in reference to the topography and M.il of Indiana it is safe to say t!.at n State in the Union having a:i eipial number of yijuaie miles, has ilss land unsusveplible of cultivation. The Siatc is travels, d in every diiectiti by lines of railroad well managed and in succeMul operation. In 1-C3 there was in ;

the Sta'en.) mtles of rai'road in opera-.lMy

lion, the construction ot which is estimated j to have cost 870.2U5.MS; and it may not be improper to remark that all these roads were built without the aid of grants of land by the Federal Government. Yet j these roads do not furnish sudk-ient facilities for the accommodation of the traveling public and the transportation of the immense productions of the State. Some coneej tion n.ay be obtained of the magnitude of these productions by giving tin statistics of a few leading article, as shown by the last census' In ICG ) there were produced in the State G!,C41,2hl bushels of corn, 10,219,121) bu-hels of wheat, 5,028,775 bushels of oat?, 7,2'linl3-2 pounds of tobacco, 2,14u,2G3 pounds of wool, IJ,S7;i,130 bushels of Irish pot.itoes, G3u,oC2 tons of hay.

From the State Sentinel, lie Laic Ihvarti A. EEmirimi,

Few men ever figured in pul.li,- life in . mis oiaiei wi.o rinereieu. inv.n naiure, greater gifts of genius and capacity, than j , he late Hon. Ed. A. Hamwg.-m. As an! orator, thoe who have had the good for-1 fortune to have liatened to the clear and! silvery tones of his voice, either in the Capital of tins State or that of the nation. will agr.e in the opinion that, in powers ,f persuasion, he had few rivals in this orj olher country. An oiiginal letter from him now before us, (and for which we are indebted to the courtesy of a friend,) gives inde'able evidence that hs political sagacity and foresight were eiual to the brilliancy of his natural endow. ment. We append a copy, which will show that that he for?aw, in the spirit of prophesy, as the logical results of the pestiferous agitation of the slavery question by the people of New England, the present calamities of our country. 0 In regarJ to his allusion to the sDirit of the Southern people, and the character given of them by E l. Ilurke, it may be proper to -tale tlmt, if his views are treasonable, they are only the repetition of i leas advanced bv the great and good Washington himsftlf. By reverting to his writings, or to Schroder's Maxims of that great patriot, there may be found an extract from one of his letters, dated previous to the adoption of the Federal Constitntion, in wh chho deplores the longi after a monarchy then prevalent iu the North, where social equality existsand contrasts it with the Republican feeling of the Souih, notwithstanding the existence of the institution of slavery. It was in the South that the most strenuous and inflexible opj onentSjOf monarchy and arht craey abound ed in his time, notwithstanding the theory of modern Abolitionists as to that section be ing the hot-bed of aristocracy. It is not, however, the only instance in which the new lights of the Abolition school differed with Wahington, as is manifested from his warnings agninst sectional parties, and their preference of such organizations to those based on national ground. The let ter, which follows, will repay a perusal: CoVINGT n, Aug. 12, I860. Mv Dear Sir. Your favor was receiv ed Ia-t evei.ir.g, and I am truly g'ad to find you so well pleased with my scnti meuls though I well knew you would be; I for, whatever liiiferencos of opinion formf ..aT. I . . . I. .. ...... - I T , .... i . iv e.vi.eu neinix-'i u .uej nt ic nvrtt. touching questions which in any way in volved the vitality of the Union, or the high and sacred principles of the Consti tution. They were mere questions of ex pediencv, conducted on both sides bv a ft m high regard for truth, and the public wel fare, aiu' always characterized by honor and good faith. You were right in supposing tho "PtO pies' Fi iend" to have been sent you by m 'j I was not certain you were in Washington, but I sent it At a venture; for in looking ove the remarks as publislu d, you were most forcibly brought to my mind in connection with the subject, which, in substance was precisely what 1 uttered, and you reported, more than fourteen years ago, the last time I was a member of the House of Itepresentatives in the Legislature of this State, and when I was answered by a general burst of applause, both from the hall and galleries; and the bill 1 was speaking against (to give fugitive slaves .1 trial by jury) re ceived, on ayes and nays, but six votes out of the one hundred present. I well remember the pleasure you then expressed, and was well assured that no change of circumstances or trammels of party could evei make you bend for an ins.ant before the black altar of Abolition My dear sir, wo are in the midst of a fearful struggle you cannot appreciate it in Washington; it is beyond anything I could have believed of any portion of the American people. To the most shameless disregard of every principle of right and justice, of the Constitution; of the Un ion of 'ibeiir it.elf. these fellows ( the . .. .. r i. ,Vw-.....w. ,y , .j and falsehood that is absolutely marvelous. Gulliver and Munchausen sink into absolute insignificance beside them, and this with an effrontery that would shame the devil himself. I am satisfied it is all oter with us as a nation. The election of Huchanan I regard as certain, but it only postpones the evil day for a short hour. We cannot resist these violent and continued shocks five yoais longer. The vessel of Stato must founder in the wild gale, that blows with increasing fury every hour and there is not hing lo si ay it, for public virtue is dead, or driven everywhere to the deepest fastness of obscurity. Its voice is only heard itl soui-ding the notes of arentaiioti and picturing the co ning woe. 'Hie waters of Bibyloii are close by us, and tho willows on which our dauglileis hall forever hang the harp of free dom. And yet 1 belierc the South, iu the

general wreck and r.t al! h.-.zirds will pre- j serve l.er Republican institutions, even '

though her laud he all wasted and her j n mes ail blackened and destrnyotl. That -jhaughty spirit of lihetty" peculiar! to the Southern slaveholder. ,f which Burk spoke so powerfully in the House f ( Commons duringt he revolution, is an in- j extinguMiable feeling. It wiil never be! yielded. Here, where the clergy are in- .. 1 .11 ...... l.i r- , i ! okcu anu nave cniercu me nei I at every j point, is the place to expect the pro; tration of freedom; for when or where, ir. what age or amongst what peop, did the clergy ever strike a.io blow, cr raise one single note for liberty ? As to the ie-ult in this State, it will be enough to know it when it comes. For your own eve alone I say, it trill be bad V - enough, God knows! Could you be here to witness their appliances, you would not wonder at mv evil anticipations I have closed all connection with par ties, for it is all in vain. They w ill absolutely falsify what I say right before my face, and as fast as it falls fr- ra my lips. But for many reasons, I cut loose from ihe dirty puddle of politics, as an active participant at least. ChUfiy, I want to follow my profession, and to amass as I belieye I can, a competency for old age. Let me assure you of my strong inter est in your welfare, and m- steady and unchanged regard?. I shall be most hap py to hear fiom you frequently. Your friend. E. A. IIANNEGAN. After speaking at Chambersbujg, 1 spoke at Crawfordsvih'e, and sent you a paper wiih a brief notice of it. They failto report the heads of my rp 'ech as they premised me, and say in a letter to me that I hey cannot report me. I wish you had been there; you could have done it. John Dowlixg, Washington Citv. Gov, E'urkcr, of cw Jersey. On illegal arrests, Gov. Parker has the following in his inaugural, which we comO P?

This was the only legitimate purpose for s. which the war could be ptosecuted, and with this purpose in view, the people of the loyal States responded to tho call .of tlie government. In accepting the item tcality of war for the maintenance of the constitution, they had a right to expect that their own constitutional privileges would be lespected. They did not expect that, in order to euj press rebellion the inalienable liberties of loyal citizens must b sacrificed. They did not expect that the constitution of the United Stale3 was so impotent that its supremacy could only be maintained by a violation of its provisions. Citizens of this StAte have been seized without due process of law, without the opportunity of investigation before a committing magistrate, without being confronted by accusers or witnesses, without being informed of the cause of detention; and, without indictment or trial, have been forci bly taken and confined as prisoners out of the State of New Jersey. Such action s a violaton of the rights of the individual. It demands serious consideration. It concerns every man in the community. It is the privclege as well as the solemn du ty of a free people to inquire into any claim of power which infringe upon the well tlefined guards ol personal liberty. The Constitution of the United States provides that "no person shall be deprived of his life, liberty or property, without due process of law,'' and that "the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial by an impartial jury of the State and district where the crime shall have been committed, and to bo informed of the nature and cause of the accusation and to be. confronted by the witnesses against him." Personal liberty is ono of the absolute rights of mn. Its protection is one of tho primary objects of government. Under our system courts of law are established to try criminals of every grade. Tho Federal anil State courts, having their defined and proper jurisdiction, have continually been accessible. The law points out the mode of proceeding against the alleged of fender, and whatever may be tho nature of the crime tho courts in New Jersey will fairly investigate tho charge and punish the criminal, if legally convicted. If any citizen of Now Jersey be guiUy of the

This war, with all its eviis, ha- taught us great truthes, which, if accepted by our people, will place the future relations of the various sections of our Union on the firmest basis. It has made us know the value of the Union itself. not-nly in our internal but in our foieign rclaf.o:i. It has given us a wisdom and knowie ge of each other, which, - had 'i e posessed earlier, would j have averted our re ent calamities. Gov. Seymour's Message Tho Albany Evening Journal.
