At a meeting of a number of the friends of the present Administration, in the town

of Crawfordsville, on Saturday the 14th of May, John Nelson, Esq. was nominated by a majority of said meeting, as a Candidate for the next Legislature, for the county of Montgomery. H. DEAN, Chairman.

STATE BANK OF INDIANA. The safe and flourishing prospects of this institution may be judged, from the declaration of dividend to 1st May, recently made. The branches at Madison and

Richmond, each divided 5 per cent, for the last six months. Each of the other Branches, except the Fort Wayne Branch,

divided four per cent, for the same time.

In addition to the dividend, the sum of

forty-live thousand and twenty three dollars, 83-100 was added to the surplus fund, making the whole of the surplus fund in Bank eighty one thousand two hundred and three dollars, eighteen cents. Towards which sum, the w hole of the profits of the Fort Wayne Branch for the first six months, $3,886 71, was appropriated, after the example of the original Branches. In addition to the other means of the Institution, the specie on hand is one million and seven thousand, two hundred and forty dollars, eighteen cents. It was not deemed expedient, at this time to locate or organize the twelfth Branch. Indiana Journal.

TEXAS. The following intelligence is copied from the New Orleans America i of the 9th inst., and confirms in our opinion, the glorious news of the defeat of Santa Anna's Army, and the capiure of himself by Gen. Houston. Col. A. Houston, of the Texian army, has arrived by the Caspian, and reports the following official list of the prisoners, and the killed and wounded in the late

glorious battle.

Sama Anna had offered the following imp

hypocrite he pretends not to hold principles which he does not approve, in order to recommend himself to office he speaks his mind freely and avowedly." Again: "He was opposed to the measures taken by the President against the Bank of the U. States, which in our opinion was ainongst the most splendid acts of General Jackson, and we firmly believe that he was honest in that opposition, for this plain reason, that in his connection with that Bank he was not treated with favor, but on the contrary hd much to complain of. A "a in:

'He was and is enthusiastic in his feelings towards the Western portion of the Union1 Again :

"But no one who has the slightest

know ledge of the character of Gen. Harrison can truly charge upon him mercenary motives, lie cares nothing for money. He never projected any public measure

for the purpose of advancing his pecunia

ry interest. If he approved ot or promo

ted any public improvement, it was for

the benefit of his country, not for his

own."

ON SATURDAY, THE SECOND DAY

OF JULY, 1836. Americcs is handsomely situated on the

east side of the Wabash river, a short distance

from Sugar creek, and one and a half miles from the mouth of Tippecanoe river, which

empties into the Wabash on the opposite

side. It is only two miles from the Piettv

prairie, which is thickly settled and in a good

slate of cultivation The neighborhoods of

Tippecanoe opposite, and Sugar creek on the same side of the river upon which Americus is located, are both thickly settled and the farms are well improved. There are several mills within a short distance of the town, surrounded with any quanti'y of first rate limber, which will enable settlers to obtain lumber upon as advantageous terms as any place in the Wabash valley. Steamboats can always ply to Americus, when the river is in a situation for them to ascend any where within fifty miles below. In fact, it is known as the head of steam boat navigation. The Wabash and Erie canal passes immediately through the town, and will be

permanently located previous to the day of

eale. There will be a large and convenient basin located on the addition offered for sale. Americus being situated twelve miles from Lafayette, seven miles from Delphi, and only a few miles from the extensive settlements on the north fork of Wild Cat, with the positive pledge of the state to complete the canal to or near the mouth of Tippecanoe, and there being no towns near it that can possibly rival or interfere with its prosperity, it once

gives an assurance to every person ci dis-

The present number closes the fourth

volume of the Record; and we are sorry to say that we have not yet received our new materials, paper, &c, for the contemplated enlargement. This delay has been caused principally by the backwardness of some of our friends who are in arrears. We can't get the materials without cash.

As soon, however, as we can procure a team, we shall start to Cincinnati; and we trust in a few weeks we shall be able to present our readers with as respectable a sheet as any of our neighbors. In the

mean time our publication will continue regularly; and we do hope that the citi-

zens of this county will show their liberality by greatly enlarging our subscription list. We shall endeavor to do every thing in our power to render our paper as inter-

esting to the general reader as possible: to aid us in which, we expect to receive the assistance of several gentlemen of talents, who will furnish us with original communications on literary, scientific, and political subjects, thereby giving additional interest to our paper. "OLIVE BRANCH." The person who may havw in his possession, or can give any information respecting, a bound volume, with the above title, published by Matthew Carey, during the last war, will confer a favor on the owner, by communicating the fact to the editor of this paper.

When we first met in the public prints,

with intimations similar to those contained in the subjoined article, we considered the whole as an ingenious fabrication by the London newsmakers or speculators, at the expense of the credulity of their readers. We are induced to believe, however, from circumstances which have since fallen under our observation, that the statement is true, not only in substance, but also in its

material particulars. The amount of value of the presents is, of course, overrated: the fact of presents of some value

AGRICU LT U R A L M E ETI N G. At a meeting of the citizens of Montgomery, held on Saturday last, in pursuance of an order given by the board of Commissioners, for the purpose of taking Into consideration the propriety of forming an Agricultural Society, Capt. James Seller presided, and H. S. La.ne, Esq. acted as Secretary. After the law on the subject was read by Isaac Naylor, Esq., and the meeting addressed by Messrs. Naylor, Bryce, and Lane, the requisite number resolved to form themselves into an Agricultural Society, and between thirty and forty per

sons enrolled their names proceeded to i

elect their officers, &x. The following persons were elected for the present year: Capt James Seller, President. D. Ball, Esq. Vice President. P. M. Curry, Esq., Recording Secretary.

A letter published in the Natchez Courier of tje 9th, under date of Natchitoches, May 2, states that an express had arrived from ll.ustoivs army, and that Gen. II. in a letter to a friend in Natchitoches, states thit "Santa Anna and all his principal offices are our prisoners." It is sail to have required great exertions on th) part of Gen. Houston to prevent his ncn from committing summary justice on Janta Anna, Almonte, second in command, .ml other prisoners. Under ditc of Natchitoches, May 3d, wc find thcfollowing: Courier aer courier has come in from Texas, conlrming what I have before

written, together with the fact that Santa

Anna is cerainly taken. I begin to believe it now. He has made every imaginable overtui) for his liberty. They are bringing him to Nacogdoches. He has proposed to sa-rilice and' yield up not only his remainingarmy, but offers to recognize the independence of Texas, if they will let him off. I have scarcely a doubt now myself but that he is a prisoner. He says that MajFanning has not heen destroyed, but that he is a prisoner at Victoria, near Meta-moras.

HARRISON BY AN ENEMY. We see a lenghy article going the rounds of the Van Imren papers entitled: "Reasons why we dj not desire General Harrison to be President of the United States.1' It originaty appeared, we believe in the Cincinntti Advertiser. We now find it in the Enquirer of Richmond, Virginia in which i is published with approbation. We hav) glanced over this a'rticle and have extracted some concessions as to General Harrison with which wc are much pleased. 7hey struck us as something peculiar coning as they do from the hot-bed of Yar, Burenism, and endorsed as they arc ly Vanburenism piping hot. We do not believe that any thing like such honorable concessions can be found as having been made by Van Buren leaders in behalf of any prominent opponent of Van Burcn in the nation. The concessions of an enemy are always valuable but concessions such as these, in such a case and at such a time, speak volumes of good things in favor of our old

Hero and Statesman of the North West. If heated Van Burcn politieiaiu grant this much how much more may candid and unprejudiced minds take for gi anted? Here are the extracts, and they arc fairly made: 'Gjncr.il Harrison we do not only believe to be an honest, man, but we know him tr be so his personal character we esteem and admire ho is open, candid, and honest in his intentions ho is no

Without, however, guarantying the truth ofanypartof the statement, except that of presents of some value having been made to the Emperor, we give the article to our readers now for what it is worth, which is much more than we at first supposed. Xal. Intel. From the London Morning Herald. Lisbon. March 19. "I slated to you, in a former letter, that there is an American squadron expected here, to consist of the North Carolina, 90 gun ship, Potomac and United States, frigates. John Adams, corvette, and two

other smaller vessels. On their arrival, the commodore is to shift his flag from the Constitution (now in this port) to the North Carolina. The ostensible object for which they come is the protection of their trade in the event of a war with France; but it is believed, upon very solid ground, that the purpose is far different. The United States Government has been long endeavoring to induce the Emperor of Morocco to sell one of his ports to them ; and, in order to put him in good humor, have made him presents, at different times, amounting altogether to the value of 150,000 dollars. The frequent visits of American ships of war to the Moorish ports having begun to awaken in the minds of our rulers some suspicion of what was going forward, and it being guessed that England would not fail to throw every obstacle in the way of any arrangement of that nature, the Yankees (it is surmised) have only withdrawn their squadron from the Mediterranean in order to be able to pursue their object in that quarter unobserved, by feigning to have given it up. The Emperor it seems, tho' for a long while reluctant, on the plea that it would displease England, has latterly begun to manifest some disposition to accede to the proposal. The conclusion I

drew from the above stated premises was, that our naval force in this river would be considerably strengthened; and the fact, which only came to my knowledge subsequently, that some more ships of the line were in train of equipment in the British ports, appears to corroborate my conjecture."
