As will be seen they .have materially extended their business. ftO’Thc fine shower of Sunday night and .Monday, has metamorphosed Dame Nature, who has donned he r spring garments, smoothed the winter wrinkles from her face, and put on, not a smile, but, a broad grin, which the fine prospect for wheat, arid the beauti- , ful spring weather has caused our farmers . to imitate. '■>jrJr j There is no doubt that recent events have materially lessened the chances of both Seward and Douglas. A few more elections like those of Connecticut and Rhode Island and Bates and Breckenridge stock will be at premium. are like the New York ■delegate to Chicago, “for the man that, standing square on the Republican platform, can get the. most States, and for the non inee of the Chicago Convention anyhow.” oJ7“Ow’ing to some reason or other we had not paper to publish a whole sheet this week. The publisher says, it is because the contractors (Messrs. Thompson & son) failed to supply it. But we have just accertained that there is another reason; a cri-srs has arrived in Mr. Davies affairs that will materially increase his expenses, and will render it necessary for him to either enlarge his subscription list, or hereafter publish only a half sheet. This is the report on the street: we hope it may not be true. OJT’Mr. Buesing has been delivering during the past week a course of Lectures upon the various branches of education with a view of awakening an interest in a High Shool which he proposes to open if efficient encouragements are given him. Judging from the manner in which he handles the various scientific branches he is fully competent to conduct such ti school, and surely we need it bad enough. We hope therefore that our citizens will see the importance of securing of a teacher competent to teach the classics, and the higher branches of Science, and will think twice before they let Mr. Buesing go. - GJz*The Administration hangers-on are having a perfect Kilkenny-cat fight over the Indiana Marshalship. The President saw fit to appoint Mr. English, father of English, of English-bill notoriety, in opposition to the wishes of Fitch and others; thereupon Mr. Fitch gets mad, ami declares “he will not again cuter the White House while Mr. Buck stays in it;” which anno-uncemeht cases Mr. Buck amazingly, who congratulates himself that he .is rid of the Indiana Senator. The Indiana Senator having let his tremendous wrath evaporate in this very daring sentence washes down his; wounded feelings with a glass of brandy, and the reflection that there will be a Convention at Charleston this spring,

CONNECTICUT AND RHODE ISLAND ELECTIONS.

Some of our readers may wonder why so much importance has been attached to the local election in Connecticut. For various reasons; first because it is a manufacturing State, depending largely upon Southern trade: everything that will sell in the South is made in this State. More than that, many of her enterprising people live in the South; in Baltimore, where they conduct the oyster trade, in Georgia where they raise cotton &c., for these reasons the cotton influence is greater probably than in any other free State. Second; Connecticut was less relia--bly Republican than any other State that gave its electoral vote to Fremont in’s6; the Democrats having the power in the State for Zm?/ the time within the last ten years. All these things combined made all parties look to that State with a peculiar interest, prominent democrats admitted that if they could not carry it the contest in November was a foregone conclusion; they had more hope's of it than they had of either Indiana or Pennsylvania. 1 o make it doubly sure, they placed in nomination for Governor the most popular man in the State. Seymour’s name is a host in itself, and could rally to its support two thousand votes that no other democrat could get; he was elected Governor for four successive years, Viz: 1850, 1851, 1852 and. 1853 in which time he had endeared himself to .the people of the State. Under all these unfavorable auspices every Republican that knew anything about the politics of the State looked with gloomy forebodings to the returns of this election; but the Republicans of that State have done nobly ; hencei forth and forever sh j is reliably Republican; though considered one of the most uncertain. /Republicans of Indiana be of- good cheer. (If thu Rhode Island election we have not much to say; if the telegraph is correct in ‘ stating that both parties -stooped to bribery’ ! then did the Republicans well deserve a defeat. The telegrams assure us that votes ] were openly bought; voters publically put ■ themselves up at auction, bids would commence at $lO and run up to SSO. Ono dispatch ; says, “The negro vote is rating high, I some colored brethren are receiving SSO each. Bonfires, cannon, liquor, eash and ‘ excitement abound. Everybodytlrinks,’“but everybody appears to be used to it.” Out of such a state of things we could net expect, and could scarcely wish that the Re- ! publicans could come off victorious. We could not rejoice over a victory gained by such means. But the principle reason why,.! the Republicans were defeated exists in the ■ fact that-Sprague, Democratic candidate for Governor, is a Know-Ncthing, and Ameriicanism is very popular in Rhede Island. I Strange that the party that so loves “the rich j Irish brogue”.should oil the same day elect ja Know-Nothing Governor of Rhode Island, and slaughter an Irishman in Newton county.

CAN IT BE DONE!

When we inform our readers that Ave are not apt to indulge in drcams of “a good time coming” except when we see some eflorts directed in the proper channel to bring it about, we hope that they will forgive us for saying that we dojwt permit ourselves to indulge in a hope that the Fort Wayne Western Railroad will ever bo built. Wc have arrived at this conclusion after calm and mature deliberation, and with that conclusion came another, that if we wa it a road we must build it ourselves. Now’ don’t say that you have been gulled enough already by railroads, and there let the matter rest;: but. look the thing, squarely in the face, count well the cost, and consider well the advantages before you scout the idea Of Jasper county building a Railroad “on her own hook.” Where will we build it to! What w-ill it cost! To the nearest, and cheapest point at which we can intersect a through line, and that is Carpenter’s Grove. The cost of engineering and grading will be about S9OO per mile, the distance is, on an air-line, eleven miles; which will make $9,900. On the lino will be two bridges,costing probably $.500 apiece, making a total of $10,900 to complete the road ready for the iron. To complete it, we have every reason to believe that the L. I‘. &. B. Road will furnish the iron, and stock it. that at the more nominal cost oi $10,900 we can have a road of our own> connecting with a line much better than the L. N. A.&. C. road. We throw out these hints now, hoping to hear from our friends on the subject; but assuring our readers that wq have started out with the determination of having a Railroad, and that we do not intend to let the matter rest until the whistle of a locomotive is heard in Rensselar. are glad to learn that the peach crop is net an entre failureA correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette, says that in Monroe county, this State, there will be fully a half crop. We have also like reports from various sections of the Southern part of this State. have assurance from every part of the 1 county that the prospect for wheat has never been more flattering than it is at present. The weather is fine and pleasant, the ground is in fine order for plowing, and our farmers are busily preparing for the corn crop. Every one is in fine spirits, in anticipation of good crops this year, and tlm passage cf the. bankrupt law which will muk us all right again—provided we get a railroad to Carpenter’s to earn- off our surplus this fall.

Above we present the official vote of Newton count}’ on last week Monday. As will be seen the whole Democratic ticket is elected except the Recorder. We congratulate that sterling Republican, John Ade, upon his success; his opponent, Mr. Gallagher, is a whole souled Democrat and a good.man, but unfortunately for his political aspirations he was born on the other side of the ocean. We are credibly informed that at least twenty Republicans remained at home in two townships; for this remissness of duty they etc highly culpable; had they attended the election as they should have done the Republicans would have elected, their Treasurer, Sheriff’ and Surveyor, and would have 'reduced the majorities on the other officers to an average of twenty. Well, be of good cheer, the fight will be fought over again in October, and in the meantime we hope the friends in Newton will organize a club in every township, and circulate the documen ts.

[From the Baltimore Patriot.

A War With Spain.

V>e put it on record in advance, and desire our readers to remember it, that the Administration of Mr. Buchanan is bent,on war with Spain and the seizure of Cuba. A war with Mexico is not magnitudinous enough fur the advancement of the interests of the Democratic party. It is not deemed stirring enough to arouse the military ardor of the nation. It will hardly make capital sufficient to secure the election of the' Charleston candidate. But a war with Spain, to wipe out the numerous insults she has inflicted upon us, in -efusfug to sell Cuba, and allowing Miramon to fight out his late blockading fleet against Vera Cruz, would do the things It would run like a fire over a prairie of dry grass in an autumn wind, especially as the much coveted prize, the Gem of the Antilles, is so near at hand, and could be seized in a few days after the first gun was fired. Indeed its seizure might bejnade the signal of hostilities, just as the" destruction of Miramon’s fleet has signalized the commencement of-a war with Mexico. But it will be asked, How can this be dune without the Consent of Congress! Just as Mr. Polk brought on the war of 1846, and just as Mr. Buchanan brought on another war with Mexico, a few days ago, if she has any courage and strength left to strike back again. Already one of the organs of the President in Washington has sounded the' tocsin of war right under the nose of the Spanish Minister and calls on the President to avenge the insult of allowing Miramon’s fleet to be fitted out at the Havana, by seizing upon the Moro. Let a blow be struck at the Havana, and Congress could not be restrained from responding by a declaration of war. Mr. Buchanan knows how much Cuba is coveted. Its seizure is the darling object of his heart, ever since he was Secretary of State. It was patent in his Ostend manifesto, and in his remark to the Vice President, that if he could once getjflold of it, he would retire to Wheatland, and leave Mr. Breckenridge to carry on the Government. The plan is already matured to seize upon it by force, and we firmly believe, unless restrained by Congress, Cuba will be in the possession of the? United States, and war will be raging with Spain before the first day of next July. Progressive KSeaiiocmcj Seventy years ago, the Democrats drew a line around the States, and the slave trader, “thus far you may go, but no farther.” This was the Jeffersonian prevision. Thirty years ago they rubbed out part of the line, and said to him “you may go into lands south, but not into lands north.” This was the Missouri Compromise. Five years ago they rubbed out the rest of the line, and said to him, “we will leave it to the settlers to decide whether you may come in or not.” This was the Nebraska bill. Now, they turn humbly to him, hat in hand, and say “go where you please; the land is all yours; the national flag shall protect you, and the national troops shoot down whoever resists.” This is the Dred Scott decision.— Albany Evening Journal. QJyThe editor of the Valley Pan, the Gentile paper in Utah, has been denounced by the Mormon Church authorities, in consequence of some strictures published in his journal, and as the civil authorities have notified him that they can no longer be responsible lor his safety, he will have to fight or run. The Meanest Man in America.—This notoriou's individual lives in Cleveland. He applied to a Justice recently for an execution to levy upon the wooden leg of a man who owed him four dollars! No constable could be found to serve the execution.

Some of the Evils of Mormonism.

The women especially are slaves, with the exception of a few favorite first wives. The subsequent wives are servants—one cook, another chambermaid, each_ one. performing some . particular household duty. They are poorly clad, without' education, without gentility, and infinitely removed from the exalted position held by their sisters in more favorable lands. As might be expected, the children are little cared for, have few educational advantages, and grow up accustomed to every scene of vice; such abominably dirty children as swarm the streets of the Mormon villages arc to be nowhere else seen outside of the filthy alleys of our fast cities. The mortality among them is unusually great, although this Territory is remarkably healthy. Otj”The Lafayette Courier anounces a strike among the tailors in that place. Something of the kind was hinted several days ago. Now it has come. All the “jours” stopped work on Friday until the “bosses” will agree to pay the bill of prices copied below, which the “bosses” say they will not pay, Fine dress or frock coats. ,®5 00 Fine business coats 4 00 Coarse. “* “ 300 Fino overcoats. . . 5 00 Sack “ 100 Coarse sack overcoats 3 50 Summer coats 2 50 Linn 11 coats 1 50 Fine pants $1 2.5 tot 75 \'ests—all, around 1 25 Work by the week 9 00 Work by the hour... 20 OJT’A colored preacher was once describing to his congregation the process of Adam’s creation. Said he: “When Gbd made Adam, he stooped down, scraped up a little dirt, wet it a little, warmed it in his baud, and squeezed it in de right shape, and den, lean it up against de fence to dry.” “Top dare!” said a Universalist darkey, “you say that are de fust man eber made!” “Yes—in course!” “Den, jes tell me a fellow whar dat ar fenpe come from!” “Hush,” said the preacher, “two more questions like dat would spoil all de foolology in de world.”

The Prince of Wales.

Toronto, C. W., March 3. It was officially anounced in Parliament last night, that the Prince of Wales would not leave England, on his visit to America, before the 10th of July. oJ7*The Douglas organs in Tennessee swear that the platform of the late Democratic State C«fijvention at Nashville tolerates Douglasiam, and the anti-Douglas organs of that State say that it dosn’t. So the platform clearly subserves.the purpose of its creation. It was erected with the usual Democratic tact.—LouffvffZe Journal. ' OJ7"In the last number of the Indianapolis Daily Atlas, Mr.. Defrees states that his interest in the Congressional printing at Washington will require his personal attention in that city. As he cannot, therefore, make the Allas profitable to himself or useful to its readers, he has concluded to discontinue its publication. OJr-The war with Morocco is estimated to have cost Spain $25,090,000 and 14,000 lives, for which she has conqured a city not worth the keeping. So declare her own journals.
