The inquiry is frequently made, does the Indiana Temperance Law prohibit the manufacture of liquor to be sold out of the State? We think it does. The law is entitled "An Act to PROHIBIT the MANUFACTURE and sale of intoxicating liquors," kc. The Legislature evidently designed the title to express the meaning of the act. They say it is to proMil the manufacture and yet they subsequently prescribe rules by which it may bo made, but of such a character as virtually to prohibit it. The first section provides "That no person shall manufacture, fcc, any spirituous liquors, except as hereinafter provided." The 4th section provides that the County Commissioners may license persons to manufacture spirituous liquors, at such places in the county as the commissioners may designate, and to sell the same at such places only to the duly authorised county agents, on a bond being likd, conditioned that the manufacturer will not violate the provisions of said Law touching the manufacture or tale of spirituous liquor. And every act of such manufacturer i.i selling any spirituous liquor to any other person 'ban a duly authorized agent, shall subject the manufacturer to prosecution and forfeit license. Sec. 9 states "That every peison who shall manufacture any spirituous liquors in this State, in violation of Law, or without authority of Law, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and fined, ttc. Sec. 13 provides that no person shall own or keep any spirituous liquor, with intent to sell the same in violation of law, and if any person do, he shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and fined, fee, and upon a trial of such charge, proof that the liquor was found on his premises (except his dwelling,) shall be presumptive evidence that the liquor was kept for sale contrary to law. Sec. 14th provides that all intoxicating liquors kept by the owner for illegal sale, shall be deemed a nuisance and destroyed, tc. Now, if persons are forbid manufacturing except as and where the commissioner may direct, is it not in the power of the Commissioners to prohibit altogether? Suppose an applicant for a license to manufacture, is granted the privilege for one year, at some point iu the county where it is impossible toerect a distillery, is Ik? not virtually prohibited? If he should manufacture, the 4th section provides he shall only sell to authorized agents. He can only manufacture for that purpose to sell to agents. By the 13th section it is provided that the mere fact that a man shall own or keep whisky, is evidence that it is for illegal sale, unless upon tril lie can show that it was manufactured and kept for use of county agents, which, of course, he cannot do, if made for sale out of the State, and the whisky would be confiscated before it could be taken to a foreign market. The law permits any one to bring liquor into the State for his own or family use, but if lie sell it or give it away as the most indirect inducement to sell any article, he is liable to the penalties of the law. The spirit and evident intent of the law is to prohibit the manufacture of intoxicatiag liquors for sale, and we are inclined to think that the distiller who attempts to make liquor for an outside market, will find himself mistaken. Tax Lats IIcrricaxk at Hamburg. Some remarkable cases which occurred will serve to give an idea of the fury of the storm. At the Tillage of Ham the congregation were assembled in the church (on New Year's day service is performed in all the churches in Germany,) and while the clergyman was in the middle of his sermon, a gust of wind took off the whole roof. and swept it to a considerable distance, dashing the beams to fragments when it reached the ground. Singularly enough the roof was taken off so clean that not a single person in the church was injured. J3FThe Wabash Gazette says that the inspec tor oi elections in rope township, Huntington co., whose failure to carry up the returns in lime, oc casioned the contest about Mr. Chapman's seat in the Senate, lately attempted to commit suicide by taking laudanum. The Crazed t says: He did not succeed; but it is reported that he is partially insane from the effect of the drug. He is said to be a Tery worthy and upright man, but bis failure to perform the duties entrusted to him so wrought upon his mind to induce him to attempt the rash act of destroying his own life.

Kotsuth on Vie Lille Translation. Kossuth j has written a letter to some Quakers in England in reply to their "Christian appeal for Peace at; any price," i:i which he justifies war in many ' instances as a necessity. lie quotes scripture to sustain Lis position, and says that the version of the passage, "Glory to God in the highest, on earth Peace and good will to man." should read: ! 'Glory to God in the highest, oa earth peace of; good-wishing men." This will probably be adop- j ted as correct, -without a why or wherefore, by ; all those who believed it was his mission to the j United States to tell us what our Constitution! guaranteed, and what ideas Washington in his! farewell address meant to convey. j

Wal?xt Sireet Hocse. We find in the j Cincinnati Gazette, the following notice of the ' Walnut Street House in the Queen city. We j commend the conduct of Mr. Sweeny to the friends of good order and temperance, and must be permitted to say in addition to his ready compliance with the law, he keeps a house second to to oilier in the country for comfort, cleanliness and good eating. We hope the friends of temperance in Indiana will compliment Mr. Sweeny for his prompt action in clearing out his bar, by .stopping with him, when they visit the city. Mr. Sweeny of the Walnut Street House was, so far as we know, the only hotel proprietor in the city who determined to obey the liquor law as soon as the Supreme Court declared it constitutional. This was commendable, but no more than should be expected of every good citizen. It has bei-n Mated in some of the papers of the city, that Mr. Sweeny atten led the meeting of hotel proprietors and others, at the Burnet House, which was held to devise ways and means of evading the penalties of the law. This is not so; Mr. S. acted independently, and closed his bar li e moment he found it illegal to keep it open. U-ider thev,; eircumstanc-s, we do not think that all the credit should be run away with by those who defied the law, and openly violated it, until they saw they could do so no longer with impunity. COLLECTANEA. ''Ht.-iiihr tuito St-i9lors the thingt that are .Sei".yr . " ! The Pacific Railroad, extending from St. Louis west, has been opened to Washington, a distance of fifty-four and a half miles. Twenty-six business-houses in Grenada. Miss., were destroyed by fire on the 4th, with loss of SlCo.OUO. Insured for 6500. The Legislature of Missouri lias passed a bill authorizing a loan of two hundred thousand dollars to be ma le to the "Pacific Railroad" in that State, out of any funds in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated. It is expected that the road will be finished to Jefferson City in August. In view of the great revival in religion now progressing at Harrisburg, Pa., the Philadelphia Argus indulges a hope that it may extend even to the Pennsylvania Legislature, now in session at that place, in which . hope he is greatly encouraged, inasmuch as a revival has sprung up in the Maryland Penitentiary, Five thousand respectable marriageable girls are being collected in New England to go out to California, under the care of Miss Pel-' lett. They are to be warranted, and husbands are to be guaranteed to them on arrival. A , city editor says that a man in New York got him- j self in trouble by marring two wives. A western i editor replies by assuring his cotemporary that a good many men in Michigan have done the same j thing by only maryingone. A few days since a lady on Jamaica Pond, near Boston, Mass., ! who is very expert on skates, offered the privilege j of a kiss to any one who could catch her. Ti'.c j offvr was male rather louder than was intended, j for when she started off, dozens started in thej pursuit, and she was captured by a negro, who did not insist upon the forfeit. The Senate of, Illinois lias passed the House prohibitory liquor selling bill, by a vote of seventeen to seven. In a recent election in Burlington, Iowa, upwards of 1200 votes were cast, which proves that Burlington is the largest city in the S'atc On the 9th inst., more than two hundred tons of mail matter had accumulated at Chicago, for St. Louis and Springfield.

A process lias been discovered by which slate may be rendered white in color, and made to take a polish like alabaster or Carrara marble. This transformation is produced, by the use of certain chemicals and the application of friction, and is unattended by any heavy out- ' lay. Wiliiam Kissane, the bank forger Ac, was arrested at Williamsville, Erie county, N Y.. on the 15:h inst. Six thousand five hundred ; dollars were found on his person.

Twentv-eight of these are State institutions, and the number of insane is twenty-thousand. Pratt, the candidate of the Native Americans was ; elected State Senator from Philadelphia county, at the special election, by a majority of 2, 300. This gives the Native American party a majority of one in the Senate. The same party have carried the election in Lancaster by a handsome majority. N. C.

CONGRESSIONAL. Washixgtos, Feb. 15. Senate. Mr. Touey introduced a bill to increase the salaries of the Judges of the Supreme Court, which was passed yeas, 30; nay, 15. A bill was reported from the committee on Foreign Affairs, appropriating 75,000 to Corunodore Perry, for negotiating the treaty with

'apan The Pacific railway bill was then taken up. M Mr. Hamilton being entitled to the floor, Mr. Haven appealed to him to yield, in order that the House might go into committee of the Whole on the state of the Union on the appropriation bills. He said there were now but fourteen days of t'.asession remaining, an 1 tho-e bills maytbe lo' unless thev are at once acted upon. Mr. Houston said he had no doubt of it. Mr. Hamilton then moved that Bennett's bill be refercd to the committee of the Who1; on the state of the Union, and demanded the previous question, pending which the House went into committee on the Mail Steamer appropriation.

Mr. Olds urged the amendment, and fpoke in high terms of the Collin's line, lie stated he had previously epposed this appropriation, but he now believed it was necessary to the service to maintain the line. Mr. Smith, of Va , offered an amendment, which led to a personal controversy of some length, between Messrs. Iline and Olds, the former charging the latter with inconsistency. Mr. Walbridge followed in an elaborate defense of the Ci-llins' line, and against reducing the amount paid it by the Government, but without taking final action, the House adjourned.

The bill extending the time for the payment oi duty on railroad iron was discussed at great length by Messrs. Broadhead, Clay, Hamlin and others.

1 Fur ths V&-XinQ. Powfria! ianifetatiau cf Spirit. Faitxps IIollowat it Datis: In looking over your paper, ray attention was attracted to what I regard as a worse than worthless communication bearing the above caption, the writers of which say they iVcl u to be their duty to give a history oi a spiritual int.. n iew, at one Koou spiii; rooia las thwy call it,) and as thev say they leave the tru .ess oi ti.e-ir ta:eH"ns in the hands of io. I ueeta it my privilege aad duty, as the pa otie ! In the t.rst place, thev oiler no evidence of the t ao.u to expose the Hurielog hut having beea built by spiritual direction. Thev have m-glcetcd to inform the public that the musio.-.'. instruments wliich they hear play, arc seen bv the ;7!..', and played in the ari-. Thev al-o r.egkct to state that the tin born spoKen or t crsor, is uusicii, as well as the voice, and that are informed that if the tin hum is lookcd at bv d.iv.igr.t, whi.e the voice is speaking, the atmosphere will become convulsed, and the -horn will fall. They have also neglected to state that the so called spirit hand 1 as phosphorous rubbed on it, so that i. can be seen in the dark. The communication said to have been written i bv spirits, appears to be the same oid hackneyed one, written out at ail the circles. They oiler no 'evidence to prove whether it was written lefore . th.e l-.a;ids passed over the paper, or how large the 'writing was, auJ, suppose it would be difficult to ' tell which by the light of phosphorous. ' They s.ij- nothing about a galvanic battery on the premises, klc, wliich, if fully explaiued, would remove all the marvelousness in which it is enveloped. A dark lantern during the performance, might serve to throw light on the subject. I will now leave the Koons room and spirits with the public to judge of the truthfulness of tl; e statemenis alluded to, while I proceed to say a few words about this modern spiritualism, alias necromancers, w itches, w izzards, soothsayers, astrologers, magicians and modern fortune telj lers. Arc. ! These spiritualists claim that they have scripture to sustain them, and thereby delude many ; innocent persons who are sincere, and are deceived by their psychological influence and mesmerism." It is a Well known fact that a good psy- ' chologi.st can make many persons believe the same t thing at the same time, no matter how ridiculous it may appear to others; they will believe it alL ami will not nor cannot believe differently until the influence is rone. men, I sorry to say, is the situation of many persons at this time, in this city, that they reiil- believe that they can converse w ith spirit of departed friends, and hold meetings for the purpose. Where tho best psychologist is present, thev get the most truthful communications. If he happens to have known or has learned enough of departed relatives, lie can influences medium, (as it is called,) so as to get on paper what he may impiess upon his mind. If it is incorrect, however, it is reasoned away .upon the principle that "spirits have their pecu I liarities; it is best known to themselves," tc, and that "the time to receive the desired intelligence ' has not yet arrived;" and that "there are lying ! spirits; or at the proper time tho spirits will be ' sure to give the desired information." j I have had a valued and beloved friend, ia j whom tho most implicit confidence was placed while on earth, to make statements as false and 'contradictory as any depraved mortal could do. I have called mentally for spirits, and received no answer except from a relative or friend or some one in the room never could get an answer trora any other than a connection or acquaintance of some one present. All circles and mediums are of the same stamp and about as capable of obtaining information as another. I have been solicited to investigate tho suhjeel; have done so, and become disgusted, as the believers do ni allow il investigated in a philosophical point of view. You are required to make up your mind to believe all that is said or written, as coming from the spirit world. I have become satisfied that it is a daigerous thing, degrading to the mind, and having a baneful influence. It assorts the bible to be one of the worst of books, full of error, an d a source of profanity and corruption thai Christianity is a cunningly devised fable, an injury rather than a blessing to mankind that ministers of the gospel are lima serving slaves, full of hypocrisy and corruption, and the foes of human progress that the churches of the land must be broken up, and our houses of worshin forsaken that all the civil governments and avVs are wrong, and ought to be abolished that the marnai'C institution is wromaiid oui? it also ! to be abolished. In short, it is contrary to scripture, reason and 1 ':t- .'?ula,iU oouy aie umunci es-nces that death is the separation of the soul from the body that at death the soul departs from earth that it dwells away from earth during the intermediate state or period ; ind that it does not and -innot return to earth till the secoud corning of Christ, and the resurrection of the dead. To thi general law, however, there have been some exceptions referred to in Scripture, which were entirely different from communications received by modern spiritualists. What was then cornrouui-e-ated was done in an a-idible mariner, and in laugu.ge well understood. There were no ctrcles formed no rapping out words and sentences J.-tter by letter no writirg with the hand of the mecjium . nor wa, a:iV electrical apparatus Mien. - . rirf.f,na,,!i ar;n-r:t;,,n ,,f niflT-m: Frankt ... t . . , lin. Tho messages communicated were straight ( ir raoderu necromancers, who assert tia' ail tte angeh are disembodied human souls. ' If angels are the spirits of the deal, then there could have been no angels until ome on had died. We haveabundant proof that angels, both good and evil existed and manifested themselve before any human sr.irit had left the body.
