War with England.

The most exciting topic at Washington and in our maritime cities just now, is the recent outrages in American waters upon American ships by a British cruiser. The following is the record of English operations in the Gulf, within the three weeks past, and every day adds to the sum of outrages : Ship Tropic Bird, fired into, boarded and searched. Bark Clara Winthpr, firecl into, boarded and searched. Bark Glenbuht, overhauled at sea. Bark W.H. Chandler, boarded and searched while lying at the anchor in the harbor of Sagua la Grande. - Twelve other vessels also boarded and searched in the harbor of Sagua la Grande. Brig Robert Wing, fired into boarded and searched. Schooner Wingold, fired into boarded and searched. Schooner Cortes, seized, and now detained atlnagua. * Schooner A’. B. Borden, fired into boarded aind searched. Schooner Mobile,, fired into, boarded and searched.

Gen. Cass must hurry up an “able and eloquent” and warlike- letter on this subject. And while the Britishers are so anxious to atop the slave trade, would it not be well for our war vessels to be instructed to pay some attention to the Coolie business. Let all the British ships l?e searched for Coolies. It is reported that the American ship captains at Havana held a meeting in reference to the late performances of the British cruiser in the Gulf, and took measures to place all the guns and amunition which they all possessed upon one of their vessels, man her with their best fighting men, and proceed to look up the British War vessel which has been giving thpm so- much annoyance, and capture hey. Such a proceeding would be quite in accordance withfihe spirit of the age and would delight young America immeasurably. Indeed even to people so conservative as ourselves, it would be a most delicious joke. Look the next news from the Gulf. See if John Bull has not caught a Tarter.— Cincinnati Commercial.

The Wife’s Commandments.

1. Thou shalt have no other wife but me. 2. Thou shalt nottake into thy house any beautiful brazen image of a servant girl, to bow down to her and serve her, for I am a jealous wife, visiting, &c. 3. Thou shalt not take the name of thy wife in vain. 4. Remember thy wife to keep her respectable. 5. Honor thy wife’s father and mother. 6. Thou-shalt not fret. 7. Thou shalt not find fault with thy dinner.! 1 '• f' ‘ 8. Thou shalt not chew tobacco. 9. Thou shalt not be behind thy neighbor. 10. Thou shalt not visit the rum tavern ; thou shalt not covet the tavern keeper’s rum, nor his brandy, nor his gin, nor his whiskey, nor his wine, nor anything that is behind the bar of the rumseller. 11. Thou shalt not visit billiard halls, neither for worshiping in chance nor heaps of money that lie on the table. 12. Thou shalt not stay out after ten at night. . . 13. Thoii shalt not grow pevish, and contort thy beautiful physiogomv because of being called to foot store bills, which thy (dear wife hath made without thy advice or |qonsenti for verily she knows the wants of the household. "" 14. Thou shalt not set at naught the commandments of thy wife. No Apology.— TheiVejc York Times has tried hard to find some apology for the Conference plot to compel Kansas to take I*ecompton or nothing, but comes to this sensible conclusion; “There is no room to doubt that the real object and motive of th:s provision is to coerce the; people of Kansas into adopting the Lecompton Constitution, and this motive is flagitious, corrupt and personally as well as politically discreditable to the authors of the scheme.' Ityis a gross invasion of popular rights thus to influence an election by punishing a community for voting against '-the wish of a dominant party,”

has been the occasion of remark that Miss Lane, the President’s niece, has remained single, and the fear is expressejl that she emulates the celibacy of her uncle. However, the numerous admirers of that beautiful lady may find comfort and consolation in a very old maxim to the effect that “It’s a long Lane that has no turning.” The intended point is spoiled by the fact that Miss Lane herself is long!

She inherits) with the virtues, the temperament of her mother. / O^7“A little boy> four years old, son of Mr. Jacob Stelzel, was choked to death at Newviile, Penn., on Tuesday last, by getting n short lead.pencil in hi* throat:

Be Careful How You Speak.

Hush! why should you speak against the character of a ferrpile! It is all she has to depend upsn in this world. Just give the impression wings that she is not so good as she should be, and it will fly to every nook and corner of the town 1 . The story you whisper will return in tones of thunder, to astoffish even yourself, wilio was the first guilty wretch to repeat so base a story. A wopd has often proved the ruin-of a virtuous soul—a word thoughtlessly spoken, it may be, but reported by an evillmind. Suppress any thought which, if uttered, might injure the character or feelings of another. A hought may be stifled at fits birth, but at word spoken may never be lost. Weigh everything you utter so that none may misconstrue your language or receive a wrong impression. Above all, never, even in jest, whisper words, which, if true, would throw a blight upon a spotless reputation. -05” An old woman named Mary B.Myres, in Franklin,•"Johnson county, in this State, has declared a war of extermination upon all dram shops in her neighborhood. She marches to the attack of these rum fortresses alone and unsupported. She recently demolisbed the stock in trade of one dealer while he was at dinner. She marched to another, the proprietor of which attempted to defend it, for which he teas fined twenty dollars! She then proceeded to assail two other establishments in a similar manner. For all the women, Myresj was fined one cent and costs. The liquor dealers finding’ she has law and public opinion on her side,! are yielding to her threats; and giving up the business.— New Albany Tribune. is a hen sitting lon a fence like a cent!

THE JOURNAL is now entering'its Thirtyseventh Volume. It was established in 1822, j and is the oldest paper in Indiana. It is equal ! in ago to the city of Indianapolis, and is nearly ias old as our State government. It was established when Indiana was little else than a wilderness, and when Indiana scarcely existed except in name. It has lived and grown upon its own merits, seldom receiving official patronage, or governmental favors. Its name is a “household word” throughout the length and breadth of the ;State, and its position upon all public matters—political or' otherwise—is so well known that anything said in reference to its course Upon any !]of the questions now before the people would be ‘superfluous. The Journal will continue- to advocate the ‘great principle of freedom, and givo its support to the'Republican party, as the party of the peo- | pie—acting with the party when right, and repu- i ildiating it when wrong—but it will be for the j •coming year more of a family paper that it has ever yet been, and b.* made more acceptable to ] .■the general reader than a purely political paper! |Coii!d be. The session of Congress under a new adminis- ! tretion is always fraught with more or less importance to the welfare of the country, and the present session will be looked upon with, feelings of peculiar interest. The position ot *.he admin- ! istration upou Kansas affairs is a matter of much j public concern. The Utah question, and the | progress of the anticipated war in that quarter, will be a subject of great public interest as long | as it remains unsettled. Events are transpiring] in our country and throughout the world to make ! a newspaper indispensable to every individual. ] Bounteous crops have blessed the husbandman i throughout the land, and plenty smiles upon; ail, and we appear before the public, asking for its support, feeling that we shall receive it liber- j erally. The past course of the Journal will be the best index of what the future will be, and promising to improve upon former efforts in pro- ' ducing an acceptable iamily and political news- j paper, we suhinit our claims to a generous and | intelligent people.
