recently purchased the entire stock of
goods belonging iormerly to Kalston and Morris, and recently to R. Ralston, beg leave to inform their friends and the public generally, that they will continue the business at the same stand, one door east from Uurbridge &. Miller's store, under the firm of jr. W. POWERS & CO. Their purchases all having been made in the south and east,in the early part of the season, before the advance took place, (as is now the -case with all kinds of goods) by an experiencccd hand owing also to the large amount and variety of which their stock is composed, they with the more confidence invite their 'friends and the public to call and examine the same for themselves, believing they will find 'it to their interest to do so. As usual, their ;goods will besold on accommodating terms, either for cash or approved country produce. J. W. POWERS. WM. BURBRIDGE, FRANCIS MILLER. Crawfordsville, Aug. 1 1th, 1835. 12-2ra
FROSPECTUS of the bukeye and Cincinnati mirror. By James B. Marshall. The subscriber, having pure based the interest of iViessrs. Shreve &. Co., in the
' Mirror and Chronicle,1 will, after the first of
November, issue it under the above title. The character of the paper will undergo no material change; and every exertion will be used to sustain the enviable and well tamed reputation the Mirror now enjoys. The Buckeye and Cincinnati Mirror will be devoted to the advancement of western literature the development of western mind and character and the promotion of western excellence. It will study the wants and interests of the community by which it expects to be sustained. The leading object of the editor will be to render it original; and in effecting his object, he will endeavor to enlist for its columns, writers of experience and taste. It is his earnest desire to avoid as far as possible, hackneyed extracts from eastern or transatlantic literature, and to bring forward the fruits of western labor, when deemed sufficiently mature, and adapted to the public taste to show that the west id as rich in her stores of literature, as in the natural productions of her unrivaled soil and climate. He will not omit, however, to republish what may be considered of decided interest to his
readers. The Buckeye and Cincinnati Mirror will contain: tales, chiefly founded on western in
cidents biographical and historical sketches notices of eminent western men essnys, on interesting and practical subjects, embracing agriculture and mechanics a glance at the drama literary and critical notices a weekly summary of political and commercial intelligence poetry music. If arrangements can be made with western artists, 'The Buckeye' will be occasionally embellished with a fine engraving. The subscriber wishes to make no pledge,
or promise, which may not be strictly fulfilled. He does not hope to advance the very high literary reputation which the Cincinnati Mirror has established but trusts, by increasing exertions, to be enabled to sustain it, and to enhance the beauty of the mechanical department, so as to render it inferior, in appearance, to no eastern publication. Conditions. The Bucke)re and Cincinnati Mirror will be issued weekly, in quarto form, on a large superroyal sheet of superior paper, at three dollars per annum, payable in advance. The paper for a year will make a handsome volume, of four hundred and sixteen large and closely printed pages chiefly original equal to fifteen duodecimo volumes, containing three hundred pages each. The paper will be published and mailed
regularly, every Saturday extra copies will
be reserved for subscribers who may feel de
sirous to preserve, or regularly file, and may
have lost or mislaid numbers. JAMES B. MARSHALL. Cincinnati, Oct. 13, 1835.

All appeared to be impressed with the deepest solemnity for the occasion; and the whole passed off without the occurrence of a single circustance to mar the feelings of the day. The inclemency of the weather, for several days prior, no doubt, prevented many from attending, who would otherwise have participated. Among the surviving heroes of that memorable battle, we took pleasure in noticing that Mr. SAMUEL CARR, a venerable and much respected citizen of Clark CO., Indiana Mr. JAMES ELLIOTT, also a much respected citizen ISAAC NAYLOR, esq., of Crawfordsville, Montgomery county, and Mr. HENRY II. MOORE, one of our most worthy and respected citizens, were present. To those, what must have been the contrast, on this consecrated spot, of this day with the 7th day of November, 1811.

Instead of the savage foe, the progress of civilization greets the eye far and wide; instead of the dying and dead of their companions in arms, there sat the gray hairs of many winters; there was the cherub infant with its silken locks; there was youth and there was man in his prime; and above all, there were the fair, and the beautiful, and the lovely daughters of a free country, with eyes sparkling and countenances beaming wit!) gratitude, on soldier and patriot who defended them from the ruthless savage who fought and who conquered on that memorable field.

There are no events in which mankind feel so deeply interested, and no scenes better calculated to awaken the sensibilities of the human heart, and call into exercise the re'fincd and exalted principles of genuine patriotism, more than the recollection of those individuals who have
offered themselves a sacrifice for the com
mon good upon the consecrated altar of
their country. Their glory brightens the
pages of history.and poetry gives to their
achievements a durable fame. Empires rise and fall the tide of time buries kings, thrones, and sceptres, in "oblivion's waveless stream" the mausoleum whose massive pile encloses the remains of the conqueror casts its shadows across tho plain in solitary grandeur, for no pilgrim will visit there to offer the heart's high gratitude for services in the cause of human liberty; while the places where patriots slumber on the blood moistened soil, will be marked by the footsteps of man, as the holy spots where ho will make his offerings to the memory of departed greatness. Whatever diversities may appear among mankind, they every where exhibit a oneness, a unity, of feeling on the sub
ject of paying a proper regard to the mem
ory ot those who have lallcn in the de
fence of great privileges or principles. It
is an original feeling of human nature and appertains to man under all circumstances, whether civilized or uncivilized. It twines around the heart of the savage with as much force as of the enlightened American citizen, and burns as fervidly in the bosom of a Pawnee. as a Wellington. It is this principle, this . common feeling among mankind in all ages, that has in a great measure operated in preserving and sustaining human freedom. Human nature is so constituted that a regard for the good opinions of mankind has a powerful influence on the conduct and actions. Among the various motives that lead to acts of high and noble daring, the applause of cotemporaries, and the re
gard of posterity, exert a controling power. Although the present and future good of nations and individuals may be the principal reason why patriots and sages devote their time, talents, and even life itself, to every cause which man has ever deemed sacred, yet the human heart loves gratitude, and noble, heroic, and virtuous
actions demand it.
The patriot who perils his life for the good of his country, and whose bosom swells with the mighty hope of delivering a nation, should undoubtedly receive the homage and respect of that nation, anrj those who defend her outposts or frontiers from the invasion of an enemy, and by their exertions, secure peace in her borders, should also be held in lasting remembrance. The benefits of their achievements are not confined to those who heard the clamor of the battles, or witnessed the
