C'i r ~V/ c had quite a thunder storm, here last Saturday night. From appearance, thoj storm was much heavier some distance north of us.

It contained two pictures—one’ of a carrot-ty-headed main,,-with a sorrel beard, a nose about a foot in length, and the rest of the features corresponding]’,- striking.' Those who saw it say it is a life-like portrait'of the editor of the! Gazette. The other picture was that of a young lady-dressed in the full r.otundy ol fashion, with hopes as large.o's-a small hay-stae'e. We suppose it is the portrait of our valentine, but. we despair of ever meeting the original.

From this'we infer that the attorney employed to attjend to the matter, did npt do his duty. lit looks ;s if the county will not be divided unless the Legislature passes another law.

PUBLIC DEBATE.

J’he next public debate betwen the Caliiopeart and Erudite Societies will conic off next Wednesday ni<_lit. when the following question will he di.scu.ised: ‘‘Resolved, That civilized nations are not justifiable in going to war one with the other.” AFFIRMATIVE. NEGATIVE. Callioptans, Erudites. q Sanford Niles, W. D. Lee, D. T. Halstgad. W. S. Hopkins. It has been deemed expedient to limit the speakers to-two a side, and allow them half an hour each. This will be ‘more satisfactory to tho speakers, and we think the public will have no reason to complain.

THE PROSPECT OF WAR IN EUROPE.

Every steamer brings us hews of increased uneasiness among .the crowned of Europe,-on tho war question, and of continued depressions in tho funds. The first outbreak of the war, in whatever quarter it may fye, will be the signal for the revolutionists of Europe to gather their forces and prepare to strike a blow for their liberties. When the time comes, scepters and thrones wiil.be kicked about by the infuriated populace like idle toys, and hereditary rights and prerogatives will disappear, perhaps-forever, before the approaching storm. France, Italy, Austria, Hungary am! Poland are,standing over smothered volcanoes, which will burst forth4?fresh when the t-ocsin of war is ttonnded

INDIMANAPOLIS CORRESPONDENCE.

Indianapolis, Feb. 10.1859. D. F. Davies: In consequence of the great irregularities of the mails, and the | prompt system of reporting and publishing, ail the doings of the “wise men” of the lloosier.State now congregated at the Capital, it is almost a hopeless attempt, to lay before you in my epistles, legislative matter that you have not seen or heard of before —nevertheless, a little chit chat, in regard to that which vitally, concerns us all, is sometimes wholesome, -

In one of- my former communications I I told you that this legislature, was disposed (to do something to arrest the demoralizing I, . K effects of dram-drinking among our people, j There is a very respectable minority of both j Houses, willing to pass a strictly prohibitory j law: On the other a majority will support a i license law . The provisions of the Hcuse bill are suchffiiat, should it become the law lot the land, any county -may through its j Commissioners assess such a license as-will | to all intents and purposes make it prehibi - j tor/.

There is some doubt whether this bill., cr : the one introduced by Mr. Carnahan in the ! Senate, will pass into a law. This hill sirn- ! ply provides that the liquor shall not be ; drank ,in,or about the premises where bought. In the House the subject ir: regard to a new : Constitution, has been referred to Com mi t--1 bee of the Whole for next Tuesday. For many reasons it is desirable to amend our . Constitution. Special Sessions are hot j found to work well. The supervisory in- ! faience over our public officers is,in a measure, lost and recent developments pr..ye its i great necessity- A uniform mode of doing county business,has many objectionable sea- . lures and in many instances, is disastreoiiS i to the best interests of the county. A thirty-five days session of the Legislature in my opinion would be ample time to ; do . all our Legislative business in, provided j we have annual Sessions. There ought to be- a-radical reform in all the departments of State. Head over heels in debt as we are, there nevertheless prevails a spirit of reckless expenditure and extravagance among our public officers, that at ; best is very reprehensible. The Commit-, j tees of both branches, have smne members on each that are not only willing, but anxious to carry out their official duties, and are (.indeed in several instances-making startling developments.

s-We, I mean us unsophisticated country folks, have often wondered..why it. was that men were so anxious to become Secretary, Auditor and Treasurer of State, &e. &e., where the salaries of those offices were so [smalj, tI:.--T s 'cmed'i'fipos: ii■ Ithat they ; could live ‘in Indianapcdis end make both | ends of the year-meet. We have wondered .much more that they did do so, and grew fat with fine houses and lands, and* till "these things pertaining to this lower world. I wish I-could adds and also a pre-emption right to another and better., Some recent investigation of the books of the Auditor, let. in a little fight, on this heretofore somewhat mysterious ma’tter. It I seems that there are many encouraging per- ; quisites, that have'.noi been slightly handled. Below I give you the amount received annu- \ ally by the several officers mentioned.

I have i been forced to ask myself, is. there any man i honest! Sure I am that strong protestations, jof honor, and honesty are'no evidence of in- ; nocence, and indeed may often correctly lead us to suspect a l cant of honesty and integrity, at least a short residence here, with the expose tliat has been made would lead to this result, I There is a disposition in the Legislature jto give a larger salary and cut off all per- | quisites of every description.

Indianapolis, Feb. ]7. 1859. Mr. Davies: It is customary when jiorsons meet, to talk about the weather, and Idon’t see why the same rule should not hold good with letter-writers. It is an old saving that it “never rains, but it pours,” and such is 1 iterly the case at this present writing. The flood "gates pf Heaven seem to ho thrown wide aback, and it comes down in sluices. I need not tell you that, I have .scarcely seen a woman on the streets to-dav, thev are pt-r force of circumstances housed up; very much to the annoyanc, of admirers of th» “last best gift of God to man.”

We live in a busy world, and a stirring' age. Not only do we have the commotion ! of the elements out of doors, but we have the elements oPman’s coarser nature .warr- - ing with each other in doors. The sanctity ot tiie Senate chamber of our State has 1 been violated, and been made the scene for the development of tlic besWal nature of man. "(I allude to the recent fight between two Sen- tors, Messrs. Heffren and Gooding, which came off while the Senate was in: session, and was brought abcu; by Mr. Gooding. speaking to a question of privilege, and ; calling the attention of Senators to a very abusive and Vulgar printed speech of HelFren’s in that day’s Sentinel, agaius. Gooding. Gooding asked if “lie (HeffrejA indorsed such language,” to Which-Heffren re- j plied “I do every word.” ‘Then sir.’responded Gooding “I hurl ”

1 Just at tins instant, Heffren, who was standing close by Gooding, struck him on tne-heau. It would be hard to describe the scene of. confusion that immediately took ; p-iaco and I shall not. try it. Suffice it to j say that.every man in the chamber and hall i was intern «e!y exerted. In the melee, two of -Gpoding’-s young brothers pitched in and: I one ol them struck" IletTn n a smart blow , across sthe head with a In a short’ time the combatants were separated without doing much harm to c:M or.

During the "w-.lipie"of the Extra Session there j was -a continual struggle. 4between these! gentlemen for tiie leadership o! the Demo.n-at: , party in the Semite which too often brought ! them to their ieet, to pour fourth their pair’- ; otis m for tno benefit 01 buncombe—indeed j oftentimes to the great annoy-ai ce of the i Senate. Out.of this |rro’bably. as much as ally thing -else- grew -jealousies, then hatred, ; followed by its necessary sequence, abuse of"' each other.

There , was : atiotiicr amendimmt that pleased me. In the 'original hi!!, persons .soiling liquor were i prohibited under a heavy penalty from soli- • . ing to drunkards, idiots, minors," niggers and women! The Senate’s-gallantry wus shocked . ut such an intervention as to women. ' This is the second time this session, that | this Legislature have had the unpardonable j*manners to couple in the same sentence, in i important measures, diggers and women. I thought, sir, this was a day of progress, l> t ! it.seems to me, to be crab fashion—back- ; Wards. Not only docs it offend a sense of ! gala 11 try, as red,.t ing to “lovely woman,” to : liavc her name so’connected, but to deny her the equal use of Whiskey with the “lords of Creation,’’ is an absolute outrage upon her ‘ woman’s* rights.” Tiie Senate, 1 am happy to say. had the magnanimity, to strike this odious prohibition from the bill, and in I the true spirit of the nineteenth century, | gave the same privilege ol getting drunk to j women, as they have to men. You may (judge from thi , that tiie cause of women is in the ascendant—at least we are helping | them to get ’■•highk] I There is a vast amount of business before : the L ’gislature—more than can be well done.

Letter from judge McCarty to Colonel Dumant.

Dear Sir: There is no instance in the British Parliament of refusal, to hear a party in assertion of his rights, nor in any country where civil liberty exists do Courts shut the door in the face of implora'ors for justice, except in Iho United States Senate. State Sovereignty lias become empty words in the mouths of its present friends —is cloven down in its very sanctuary by its own high i priests, and justice, the great pillar of the whole social fabric,den ed a sovereign State. Messrs.. Bright and Fitch have not the (chivalry to court criticism-of their title, although repudiated tinddisowned by the State, and charged 4\ it h ppoeuri ng their commission ,in violation of the Constitution, and under a . false and fabricated"’j inrun], that, the Senate joined the II nise in e.invention. Tiie Senate will "make the humiliating admission ol its" iin patency to protect States’ rights and insist that this iiiipotency is induced .by its own act, an estoppel self-erea- ! ted, a stultification self-urged; that it has abdicated the power to pieserve its integrity, .that it can adulterate its organism with foreign elements, but cannot purge itself, tiiat ,it liu£ power to wrong a State, but not to redress those wrongs. Instead of vindicating the decision by argument, it takes refuge from criticism behind the iniulibi iity of votes. You -will recollect that one of the arguments to seat Messrs. Bright and Fitch was that the State did not deny their title, that, this was a tacit acknowledgment. That ] predicate ol the decision it swept away, and the denial will work a like consistent action, j The late lamented Butler, whose States’ l Rights doctrines were inspired hy the teachings .of Virginia and Carolina’s favorite sons, would not yield iiis convictions to “State” ; exigencies—nor his consistency to opposite action in p arallel cases. Fearing that neij ther justice nor the courtesy of an oral argui merit would lie allowed us, I prepared the brie I that has been published, and submitted it to the Judiciary Committee, to whom the . memorial ol the Legislature had been rei ferred. ( W hat (it any) weight the political affini-

A Temperance Speech.

Colvmebs, Friil :y, Feb. 15. Mr. Plants, of Meigs e-cunty, made, this ill'll' a 11. tiie best speech that, has 1,,-.. ;, math' in the Ohio Legislature tli is‘session, and that/on the' hackneyed subject of Temperance. It was outlie consideration of the bill submitting "to the people an ameiidne nt. to the COll.-lit.ut.iori,.to provide for Ifeeqsinogrogshops. ff •‘Me" regarded drunkenness as a disease—not as a crime, and did'not agree"with" seme" members .who had spoken 011 this-subject, (.that, the drunkard sliouhi. he pi-rnisiied. . You mi ’lit as well pass a l ev to punish the poor j sufferer who was shaking with the ague. | Ask the poor inebriate to get up ir uu the gutter and save himself. Why, he Was not able to do that when well. -■lit; did not regard rum-soiling as a sin. He did not believe the ruui-seller could rise to the dignity of a sinner. To he a sinner a man must “know the right, and still the vvrong p rsue.” but in this latter half of the i nineteenth century it was impossible that ary man with a moral sense within him could set up a doggery and sell strychnine wlrsky by ho-glass. That man had gone down below the-reach of moral sense, jje was a moral cripple, a moral paralytic, and should be restrained from injuring society, as is the maniac. •‘ln conclusion, Mr. Plants announced that he should vote in favor of striking., out-the present clause in the Constitution in regard to; the liquor traffic, and leave the whole subject.to the people." Oi/'Charles Cook, the man of respect ah lt*precedents and cbnijcctioris, who, in Cincinnati, in company wi li two other “nice yqwmr men,” found himself in a house of iil-fame one night and got into difficulty w ith one of the women therein, named Kate Bercau, and which resulted in Cook stabbing her to death, has just been tried in Cincinnati for in order.

She had perished the night before Ir on starvation.
