Extract of a Letter dated Craw-) fordsville March 24, 1846. Dear Coz Joe again, You tell me in your last that all your neighbors and friends were astonished at the rapid growth of our place, and requested me to give you further particulars immediately. I have been so much taken up with speculation and then too we have had so severe cold weather that my ideas have pretty much frozen up, or they have enlarged so much by way of sympathy with the growth of our place, that like a former renowned and redoubtable governor of New York, I could not get them out, and there they must remain until they have expanded to such unearthly size that they will burst their frail tenement and escape to their own ethereal element. . By refering to the last No. of the WTestern Quarterly Review published in this place, and edited by the faculty of the I niversity,(and by the way the most talented periodical in the coun try, that the spring exhibition ot the Western Literary, and Philomathean, So cieties took place last week. 1 he performances were of the highest order, ap.d highly creditable both to the performers and the institution. St. Paul's church was crowded to overflowing and numbers were unable to train admittance. The perform ance UDon the orcan added much to the life and the splendor of the occasion.The University is in the lull run ot successful operation. The library numbers about 20,000 volumes, and the chemical and philosophical apparatus are uneqnal led by any in the western valley. You will recollect that in 1834, the ground where the college edifice now stands was covered with a dense forest; but now, it is wholly occupied with splendid edifices and gardens. Respecting the intelligence of our com munity I need say but little; this you win readily infer from the enterprise and effi ciency of our population Our common schools are open to all, and no one can be excusable tor not possessing a gooa euueation. Our county Seminary which in 1836, was a mere lifeless skeleton is now a living, speaking oracle of literature and science, and then the Female Seminary, with all its grace and beauty, instead of the mere nonentity which it was in, the winter of 1835 6, it is now a splendid institu tion disseminating far and wide its genial influence among the fair daughters ot Indiana. That such a soil as this must be favorable to the growth of virtue you need not be assured, and I hesitate not to say that no place in the country has a more elevated standard of morality than this. I think after this, dear fellow, you must be pursuaded to pull up stakes and come and spend your days amongst us. We need your influence and your money ; for there is no' better country for the investment of your capital than this, and then . you are upon'the right side of the question ijn politics you may get to be justice of the peace, an office of no small consequence -you know. At any rate be pursuaded to seat yourself in a comfortable car and make us a call. You will be well paid for your trouble and expense, which to a man of your purse, are matters of little consequence. I have not time to say much about politics or religion, as the car which carries the mail is almost ready to leave Suffice it to say since the election of Webster to the presidency, there has been a great change in the political aspect of our horizon; but I cannot be particular I'll tell you more of those things at another time. You Jtnow that I am a plain strait forward, honest, homespun genuine backwoods man, and always tell the whole story and just as it is, too your true coz. JOSH.

By reference to our advertising columns it will be seen that the Protection Insurance Company has established an agency in this place. This we have long wanted. The exposed condition of our houses to the destroying element, has long called for some better means of security than have hitherto been enjoyed. An effort has been made, but without success, to procure an engine; and even had the effort been successful, we have no means of furnishiug our engine with water. This experiment having failed, a hook and ladder company was formed, but what could this company do to arrest the progress of a fire in its disorganized state its hooks and ladders buried and frozen in the mud? It is indeed astonishing that so little attention has been given to this thing; and that our citizens have been willing thus to sleep exposed to such eminent peril. How can a man be content to expose himself, his all, and the hopes of his family, to the destruction of a moment? But we are glad to inform our readers and the community, that the means of security are at hand. The Protection Insurance Company was incorporated by the Legislature of Con

necticut in 1825. It has a vested fund of one hundred and fifty thousand dollars, with liberty to increase it to half a million. In 1835 the company had paid for losses to those insured in the western country, one hundred and sixty thousand dollars; forty thousand, to claimants residing in Cincinnati about twenty-five thousand to those residing in other towns in Ohio about fifty thousand to those residing in Kentucky and the remainder to residents of Missouri, Indiana, Illinois, Alabama, Virginia, and Pennsylvania. The company in the language of their instructions to their agents, "expect to deserve the confidence of the public by doing business on as favorable terms as any similar institution in the country, and by the utmost fairness and liberality in their dealings." From the Globe of March 5 Official. LATEST FROM EAST FLORIDA. We learn that information has been receiv ed in this city, that Gen. Gaines, with about twelve hundred men took up his line of inarch from Tampa Bay, on the 15th ult. and encaipped the first night about six miles from the fort, on his way to Fort King. He will persue the route taken by Major Dade, and tlius pass through the country occupied by the hostile Indians. We observe in the Key West Inquirer of the 12th ultimo, a contradiction from the collector, of the story which has been running through the newspapers, that the Indians had been supplied with arms by the Spanish fishermen. 'Thus,' says the editor, "do mountains grow out of mole hills." It seems that every place in Florida expected Powell at the same time. He was, as report said, at Tampa Bay, at Fort King, preparing to attack St. Augustine in boats, and looked for at Tallahassee. And yet, for more than six weeks, the Indians have struck no stroke, nor appeared any where in much foice. They have done great injury, destroy, ed a large amount of property, and occasioned much waste of life: and the situation of that -part of the territovy where all this has occurred is greatly to be deplored. We trust thai in a short time this lamentable slate of things will be over; but in the mean time the strength of the Indians should not be magnified, nor unreasonable apprehensions be entertained, and the exertions of our forces thus paralyzed. By a 'communication received at the Adjutant General's Office from Major General Scott, dated the22dof February, it appears that he arrived at Picolata, Florida, the day previous, where he found the 1st battallion of Georgia foot in position. He reports the 1st battallion of Georgia mounted men on the south side of the river, and that the 2d mounted battallion had most, probably commenced its march from the interior of Georgia. The head company of the South Carolina mounted regiment had reached Ogeechee. The regiment of foot from that Stale, under Col. Brisbane, was at St. Augustine. General Scott received a despatch from Brigadier General Clinch, dated the 20th February, with a return of troops under his command at Fort Diaine and its vicinity, dated the 17th. This force consists of 523 men including volunteers. Brigadier General Clinch states that, on the arrival of Col. Lindsay at Fort Brooke, Tampy Bay, with.the Alabama regiment, Major General Gaines will have at that place near 2,200 men, and about 100 friendly Indians. Globe. Tuscaloosa, Ala. Feb. The Creek Indians. We understand that recent information received by the Executive of this State, induces the belief that these Indians are making preparations to commence hostilities against our citizens; in consequence of which, we are informed the Governor has ordered out one thousand mounted men, to be stationed at different points, and act as a corps of observation for the protection of the inhabitants near the Indian locations, in the eastern part of this State. We leirn further that these men will be ordered mostly from Madison, Jackson and Limestone, and some of the other north eastern counties. Intell.

Small notes A Bill has passed the House of Representatives of the Ohio Legislature, prohibiting the circulation of bills of a less denomination than three dollars, after the 4th day of July next, and of a Jess denomination thankee after the 4th diy of July following. The penalty annexed, for a breach of this law, is five times the amount of the note circulated, to be recovered in any c ourt having jurisdiction. Now this is well enough, provided the Banks in Ohio, will accept the provisions of this bill , as a modification of their charters. But without their consent we fancy the law will be a perfectly dead letter. They have received charters from the hands of the Legislature, which guarantees to them the right of issuing small notes, during the continuance of theircharters; and any attempt to abridge this privilege would be a breach of public faith, an interference with vested rights and a manifest deriliction of public duty on the part of law-making power. Cin. Gaz. We copy the following precious article from a Jackson Van Buren paper printed in Bedford Pa. If the writer does not deserve a straight jacket and an apartment in a lunatic asylum, we know not who doe. A man who can thus coolly recommend resistance to the laws, by a resort to the Bayonet, should not be permittid to run at large. He may do violence to himself. "We are betrayed, and we will vindicate ourselves WITH OUR BAYONETS, and the traitors aie forever consigned to the deep unutterable execration of the American people. This foreign aristocratic Bink must be annihilated, "peacably if we can, forcibly if we must." We repeat our call on our fel low citizens of Philadelphia, Raze the accursed institution to the ground, and we the democracy of Pennsylvania will help you to strew salt over its foundation." Another' The editor of the Dayton Herald, speaking of the U. States Bank, says that

"ine treemau wno would carry its paper ought to be hunted out of any other state with a pack of hounds in full cry at his heels." Hah! Neighbour of the Hereld, are not your ears becoming somewhat elongated of late? Xou shall be the leader of the pack. According to the opinion of a military genilenian who is intimate with the habits and the haunts, the numbers and tribes of the Seminole Indians in Florida, there are 2,000 warriors, and 1,000 able bodied negroes belonging to them independent of about 600 runaways who aid and abet them in their present insurrection. N. O. Bee. (7Caxada. Agitation has again commenced in Canada more seriously than ever. Lord Gosford, the governor has disbanded, by proclamation, a newly organized military company. Meetings have been held and a general congress is proposed. Things look sqally in the British provinces. 0rC7The origin of the custom of setting apart a day of thanksgiving, is thus given in the Salem Observer: ''The 27th day of August, 1679, is recorded as the first day set apart for pub lic thanksgiving by the pilgrim fathers of JNew England. It was appointed at this time in consequence of the successful termination of a long course of bloody wars with the savages." OrJudge White in a recent debate in the Senate, said "the Globe was the last place on God's earth to which he should think of looking for the TRUTH 1" Mr. Holmes has introduced an order in the house of delegates of Maine, directing the purchase of a bible and dictionary for each member. Mr. H. said that "when members are sitting here doing nothing, but looking at each other, it might be well to look at the bible a little. A dictionary was always necessary." A motion was made that the order lie on the table,which was lost; an amendment was then offered so as to make the order read "two bibles and two dictionaries" in which shape it passed.
