OLD SETTLERS OF WAYNE CO. HO. X. In the yef 1809 ?her were only foar cottnti in IndUnsi Territory, rii: K' ox. Hrriot), Clsrk sni Dcrburn. The territory embraced wit bin the present limits of Wayne eouotj. as well as th whole e sero section ul Indiana, llieo belonged to Dearborn cuoty, and tlie ssrK st ler-t had to go to Lt wreno-burh to aitud Cuurt aad Irannart rniifilv huaiiie-sii. ( Richurd lln and Ephraim Overman were elected Rprentitives o' Dearborn coiiotT' to the Territorial Le-gi6ltnr for the year 1S09. They ' were bo' li elected the following year to the fame office with John Tempi ton for their colleague. The Legislature was then ht-ld .t Vimtennes, th county seat of Kn-ii county, whre Governor Harrison resided, and the representatives had a long, tedious i urney to pertorm of to hundred miles on horseback through an almost unbroken wilderness, infested with Indians acd wild beasts, and threatened with a still more usiiireruus enemy nerro sla very Notwithstanding the ordinance of 1787, ezi.ludinir slavery from the whole North - wt stern lerriioiy, many were to bo lound who were willing, nay anxious, to introduce the inhibited atid blighting institution upon the virgin fw:il of Indian t. Indeed, for a hile it was thruMt upon the people, contra. ry 'o the wishes of a majority, and a strong effort was made to render inoperative the Act 01 1787, and let slavery into Indiana . in the fame manner that senator Uoulas and hi enjdntors iriwl to force it into Ktnsas. The subjr)cl excited a dep interest in the minds of liie people, a majority of whom had emigrated from slave Skates into the new Territory with the hope of forming a State government that would be free from the taint of this moral and political leproy. They plainly saw that ihe accursed in siitution rested like an incubus on Virgin a, Mary 'and and Kentucky, benumbing their . eaergies, tarnishing their escutcheons, cor- ! rupring their mraJs, and holrting the poor white man down on a level with the slave, compelling him to work side by side with the negro in the field or on the log, chopping cut about, and the white mat generally compelled to lake the butt-cut. This did not accord with their notions of a free Republican government. Tbey believed io the doctrine of the Declaration of Indepen dence "thai all men are create I qual: that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights; that am ng these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness," and in the beauti'ul Innuage of St. Pierre, that "when human policy fastens the chain round the ancle of the slave, Divine justice rivits the other end round the neck of the tyrant; that the evil which a man does to a fellow creature ahull return with sevenfold vengesnci npon himselt; to the end that no man shall fioil ri own happtnea io the misery of another." Au election was held in May 1809, to elect a delearate to Congress for Indiana Territory. Jonathan Jennings, of Pennsylvania birth, was the can Jidate of the uti slavery men, and Thomas Randolp'i, a native ot Virginia, was ihe pro-slavery candidate. Tni-re was a heated canvass, that thoroughly stirred up the people throughout the Territory. It resulted in he election of Jenni-igs by a majority o 26 voies. Knox and Harrison gave Randolph 31 4 votes and Jennings 66 Clark and Dearborn cast 362 votes lor Jennings and 88 lor Uaudolph. Whitewater valley then, as ever since, declared in favor of Freedom, and her old settlers, Quakers, and other lolkt are entitled to great credit lor shutting out the demon of slavery, whose iron mace was lilted to strike down Liberty in one of the fairest p riions of God's green earth On the 13th day oi Mav 1816, an election was held in the several counties (then increased to thirteen) throughout the Territory to elect members of a convention to fi.rm a State Constitution. At this election Jeremiah Cox. Patrick Baud. Hugh Cull and Joseph Hoi man were elected tbe four members from Wayne county. The Convention, which consisted of 43 members convened at Cory don on the 10th of June 1816. Jonathan Jennings, lormer delegate to Congress, was elected President of the Convention and William Hendricks was chosen Secretary. Nineteen day sufficed to produce the first Constitution of Indiana which put the slavery question to rest, forever it is to be hoped, within her limits, la anticipation of such a result many who had brought slaves with them into th Territo-" ry began to run them back into Kentucky, Virginia, and Carolina to avoid losing their property, as they said and in the hnrry and scramble, some, it wa thought, carried away more than bt longed to them. Several free uegroes it was said "C3me np missing1 in those days, whose descendants are now probably hoeing tobacco or picking cotton in S uibern States. Among my earliest recollections was an incident of attempted kidnapping of a frees negro man his wife and three childten. The man stealer caught and tied the negro woman, the darkness of the night favored her husband, who fled and made bis escape. Tbe woman and ber two children were put on a horse which the felon led..

per. The imports from England this year are very light, causing a small demand for sterling exchange, which runs lower than it has been since the French war of 1849. The exports are small. There is some coarse wool exported to the United States and England. The silk culture is rather improving:, but the manufactories are principally confined to' families weaving silk scarls, neck-ties and, such lilt- gaudy attire. This valley (called the Campagne) is very fertile, yileding abundant crops of grain and hay. f he grape is eultiva ted extensively, but the export is not large, i Some of their wines are very fragrant, and are t iken by the French to give a llavor to their line wines. Although Rome has dwindled from a city of seven millions to ff town of not much over Id -.0 Hi inhabitants, tbe manners and customs of the people are the same as they j were in the olden times. They cultivate '

the earth in the same manner, using the old cultivation, yielding a fine crop of pumpkins, lashioned wooden plow. They grow the beans and cabbage. There are also a nunc same kind grain, fruit and vegetables, and ber of fi trees bearing beautilu ly. Oae of treat with contempt all kinds of Yankee in-' the most odd sights I have seen, is at the ventions. j Church Cuppucina. where is a suite of rooms Mr. Chapman, an American artist, who used as a cmetery for the monks, painted several pictures for the new Senate! There were pyramids of monks' skulls Chamber at Washington City, told me he ' some ten feet high, and their bones are piled had imported for a iriend, who was farm- up like cordwood. The rooms were beau tiiug extensively, borne white corn, nutmeg, fully festooned with bones tied together. and caotelope seed. The farmer raised a Corpses of monks were dressed as when livtitie crop of co. n, and such sweet, juicy ing, and placed around the rooms in an upmellons he never ate before. But he could right position, like sentinels keeping guard not sell his crop of corn, the grain being too over the bones of the dead. When a monk large and white, nor could he soil the corn dies he is buried in the grave ol the oldest bread. Here the fanners are bakers, and occupant, whose bones are removed and add dispose of their crop of grain ia the shape to the pyramids. Close by this church is of bread. j the Marmaniine Prison, where (according The melons he could not give away; the to church tradition) St. Peter was confined only person daring to eat tnem was a beau- by Nero We saw the rock he was chained

The prison is two stories, below was tbe last crop ever raised. ! ground; the original enhance being but a In grape gathering time the peasants have round hole in the center of the root, through a kiud of husk'ng frolic. The vineyards at which the prisoners were lowered.

the base of the mountains ripen first. A ! farmer invites a neighborhood to his gather ing; they all go arrayed in costume, and ork with a right good will, clearing the crop iu a dty. In ihe evening they have a tiauce. The next day tbey go io another ; vineyard, and so on round u.itil the crop in tha' circuit is gathered, winding up the gen eral gathering with a grand ball. Tbe old lashioued way of tramping the i grapes betore pressing them is still adhered to. In bottling wini for tbe home market, instead of corks they put about half a teaspoonful of tine olive oil on top of the wine, sufficient to cover it in the neuk of the bottle, which has the advantage ot letting the acid escape, and still keeping the air from the wine. I hare yet to see a drunken man in Rome, although some of the dd citi ixens drink large quantities. Mr. Chapman ! toll me of two gentlemen who for a uum- ' ber of years past met on Sunday mornings : at a celebrated winehouse in Rome. They ' would each order a small keg holding four ' gallons, a pack of caids, and with crackers and cheese, would spend the day, never leaving un.il both casks were empty. The cost of the eight gallons is about $3. . We are feasting on tbe finest apricots I bare ever seen. In fact this country ab unds in all kinds of fruit. With the same attention to gra'ting that is given in tbe United States, tbey would have tbe finest fruit ia th world. Mr. Chapman told me of a peach tree which last year bore the largest and Co est flavored peach he had ever seen; when tbe fioit came to perfection the branches, full of peaches, were broken off and sent to the Pope as a present to his holiness. One branch with six peaches en it was thrown out. they being considered loo small to present to his holiness. Mr. C being present asked tbem for his studio. He took tbem borne, and after three days one of them weighed 1 1 ox .. aad measured 12 inches in circuioterenoe. Those sent tbe Pope, of course were much larger. The finest modern painting I have seen in Rome 1 found at Mr. Chapman's studio. It is The Return from the ViiAr. The 1 trrotio are portraita. representing a fiae larae donkey carrying two large baskets of grapes. and a pfendid looking young lad rising him. Ou ue side is th mother, a perfect pictU' ot a beautiful Italia peasant woman Oa th other side steads a young man ad curing a splendid bunch of gmps held ap in the hands of hts brother, wno is also loot imr no to it with ad mi ra: ion. TlMbmaVShefgX

man. as well as the large clusters hanging over the top of the baskets, are tbe moat perfect imitations I have ever sesn. Th main support f the farcily is derived from hi earnings in sitting for artists. Mr. C says the; boy astride tbe donkey is tbe most perfectly formed child he has ever seen. He gts a half scudi (about 54c) for a moraines siuiBsr. sometime.! Mrnirur a scudi a

dav by sitting ia the morning or one au 1 ia tbe evening for another artist. Mr. C. has kept the ex tct cost of this pain ing, charging his labor as he worked on it: he makes it 1,200 scudi, the price a-ked for tbe paintiog. On arriving here we took the advice of friend Henrv Davis, and secured tbe servi ces of old Paul as a valle do place, an old 1 Italian who has served in that capacity for i man? year, and is posted as to every nook where wife. Kinney ad myelf entered ihe broniii ball on top of the dome, by climb 'ingup a small iron Udder through a round a ne interior ol tue tome is oeauuiuiiy aec orated by raosato pictures of scriptural groups. The immense size of some ot them is lost in the magnitude of the grand structure. For instance, a quill seven teet long, held in the hand of a figure representing John, does not appear to be over -12 to IS inches. . ' We then visited the Vatican galleries of ancient seulpuire, pain'ings and cariosities. Here is a vase of alabaster, said to contain the remains of Augustus Caesar; two tombs of porphyry, taken from the ruins of old Rome, are very elaborately cat ved in bas relief, and valued at ten mil'i on dollars; as this was about S75 more than I thought the v were worth, I did not buy them. From the old Capitol building, we had a fine view of tlie old Roman Forum, the r a lace of the Caesars, and the Bdihs af i'itus. Caesar's Palace, crumbling away, still gives au idea ot tbe crrandeur of old ne. The greater part of the structure has e me to decay, and the spot is now in a hirh state of J. A. F. lie Diet! Poor. 'It was a sad funeral to me," said the speak er, 'the saddest I have atte&ded for years." That of Eitnondson?' Yes How did be die?' Poor poor as poverty, his life was oae long stragjle with t:te world, an I at every dialvaiitage. Fortune tn cked him all the while with gilded promises that were des fined never to know fulfillment. Yet he was patient and enduring, re markt d one of the company. Patient as a Christian; enduring as a martyr, was the answer. 'Poor mau ! He was worthy of a belter fate. He ought to have succeeded, for he deserved success.' Di i he not succeed? questio-ad the one who had spoken of. bis perseverance and endurance. - No, sir; he died poor, as I have just said. Nothing that he put his hands to ever succeeded A strange fatality seemed to attend every enterprise.' , 'I was with htm in hii last moments,' said another, 'and thought he died rich No, be has left nothing behind, was replied. 'The heirs will have no concern as to the administration oi the estate.

A man in the neighborhood named Hays. : had a bull that be was in the habit of ridin to mill with his basr of corn, and he deier- , mined to enter him for the race. He said - nothing a bo it it to any one. but he rode him around the track a number of times, on , ; several moonlight nights, until tha bull had ' the hansof the irrouud mem well and would keep the rig t aurse. Ha rode wiirt'i purs, which th bull considered particular disagreeable, so much so that he always bellowed when they were applied to his ; sides. ' ' j On tbe morning of the race. Hays came upon the ground on horseback on his bull. Instead of a saddle, be had dried an ox hide, the hea l part ol which, with the horo Still on. he hajl tihant.d . th tiull'a mmn He carried a short tin horn ia his hand. ; He r.ide to the judge's stand, and offered to enter bis bull tor the race; but the owners of ! the horses objected. Hays appealed to the insisted that his bull . terms ot the no'tce. had "four legs and hair on," and that there'good deal of swearing, the j Spelled to decide that the bull h tore ue nau a tirnt to enter htm. Alter si tidies coma I the tig to run, an I he was entered aecorlin!rlv When the time for starting arrived, tha bull and horses took theii places. The horse I racers weie out ot humor at being bothered with the bull, and at tbe burlesque which they supposed was intended. Imi thought that it would be over as soju as the horses started. ' When the signal was given, they did start. Hays gave a blast with his horn, and sunk his spur, into the eideof the b til, who bounded off with a terrible bawl at no trifling (speed the dry oxhide d toping up and down -u.i outimg at every jump, malting a combination of noises that had never been heard on a racecourse before. The horses all Hew the track, every one seeming to lie eized with a sudden determination to take the Biionexi cm io get outol the Kedstone coun try, and none of them could be brought back in time to : save their distance. The 'purse was given to Hays. A general row ensued; but the fun of th thing par the crowd all on the side of tbe bull. The horsemen contended that thay were swindled out of the purse, and r if it had not been for Hays' horn and oxhi le, which he ought not to have been oermitted JUo bring upon the ground, the thing would no navo turned out as it did. . Upon this Hays told them that his bull could beatanr of their horses anyhow, and if they would put up oae hundred dollars against the purse he had won. he would take off the oxhide and leave the tin horn. and run a fair race with them. His .rt.r was accepted and the money staked. Tney again look their places al the starting post, and the signal was givn. Hays gave the bull another touch with his e-nur. and the bull gave a tremendous bellow. Toe horses I retne-nberincr the dreadful a.nml ihAmhi ii L " . , ail tbe rest was coming as betore Away they went aain in spi e of all the exertions of their riders, while Hays galloped his ouii around the track aain aad won money. the A Side-plitler. There was an important tri tl for murder in the first degree going on the case the State vs. William Pcrkius. a oejro, of in- , dieted tor killing with a butcher k ne a fedlow nero iu a slaughter house, while thev were both engagd ii killing scslding and scraping hogs. Manv witnesses had been examined by tbe State, and finally the Prosecuting Attorney called upon George Washington. Answering this summons, an old grey headed darkey, looking very consequential and exceedingly wise, stepped forwaid to the witness stand. He narrated iu his pe culiar atyle many circumstances of the Iroinici Je, as he saw and understood them, and fi ally he waa handed over kt cross examination which thus bean: Lawyer Are )ou George Washington? VYituess that's de 'nomination I oes by Lawyer Are you Gen. George Washington? r;:--:. '' De general!

' . i Of course this caused great laughter in the court room jurors, lawyer aad judges could not restrain, and effectually stopped further cross examination ex nomine. Bat auihs a lontr examination ensued on the facts of tha trains: lion: and as it was tbe chief object ol the lawyer to reduce the crime of his client Irom murder in the first degree, to ahow that there was a total absence of debberatian and premeditation in tbe act, the crow examination 'concluded aa follows:' Lawyer So you saw Perkins hurl the knife across the table into the body of tbe deceased? Witness -Yea, Massa. dat am a fac; and he hurl him mighty strong, too. Lawyer Well, what time elapsed when the insult waa given before Perkins hurled tbe knit across the table?

Here the lautrh was boiatrous, and the r rats examination forthwith ceased, for the 'awyer plainly discerned that it wav quite usep8 tor mm toiry to elicit further tnt rmation oa his side of the case from that witness. .......-.. An Arkast tt Girl's Keaentuaeat. A green, awkward 'girl, tbe daughter of wealthy parents in Arkansas, having toot to . Massachusetts, to be educated, a j 7OKne dentist, named Brown, conceived a j notion that his shortest road to fortune ! woul l be to marrv her. But then she was ; thJ Uu hJ 9toc of lhe because i , ,. . , sue was so gaunt, masculine ana ungenteet .in her dress, and Brown felt that it would fretful re all his nerve to stand toe ridicule of several young lady pupils, with whom he had flirted until he was satisfied that they had no money or expectations of any. How-, ever, lie console 1 t itnself with the reflection I that he should speedily obtain influence ' enough over her to enable him to become in measure ber adviser ia the matter of costume, manner, tic. The foremost thought was lo mend her long, lank form, by the . aid of crinoline, whxh ahe had never worn; and his flattery had no sooner secured him a confidential place in her good graces, before he ventured to make her a present of a pa teut skirt or sack, together with a bint to fix . t.. l tl. up pretty nanusi.raeiy ior a oau to wiucu he had invited Iter. The night arrived, the party were assembled, and the ' Arkansas damsel ma le ber grand entree from the grand dressing-room Htu'd the titter ot laughter from the school girls and village b.lles. The hoopsack was xiiouKingiy out or rtnape: projecting in iront like the Spouting H ra in Nahant, but tliat . was nothing to the expose it made of ber somewhat incongruous black ho-e the fascinations of which were some what augmented by the yellow rosettes on her white sat in slippers (men's size) encasing her delicate feet.- To complete Brown's horror, ber flaxen head and freckled faee were set off with a prolusion of "green and yellow bow knots, of formidable size, intended to do execution as beauoatchers. Madder than sixty, the disappointed dentist went through the first d tnce with her, taking linle or no pains to conceal his didgutit. and then hurried away to th whistroom, to escape the 1 sarcastic c mpliroen s and ridinule of his old flames. .. The unfortunate partner, who was clear grit, was deeply incensed when informed of his abandonment, and some of the sympathiz-irs advised her to tfive him the sack.' i. e. di-miss him at once. 'I'll be dodrotted ef I don't do k fore the hull cro vd.' she replied in a boiling passion, and malting straight for tbe dressing jroom, followed by a bevy of laughing girls, soon emerged wuh the hoopsack in her I hands, and threw it at Browu's feet. 'Thar, 'you m-an. go-wi tor ooihing, snaker-out of old snags ! Tike your ol 1 sack and wear it )our-elt ! And ef I ketch ye speaking to me a rain. I'll lick ve within an inch n vr jlife; yoa'd better believe it! er Roars oi lau 'hter followed the spirited conduct, and tooth puller was fain to make his escape. ! The next day he left the village and haa not return-d to it. The Arka isas girl became a pet, and finally made a very respectable appearaoce in society. Life Evrrywhere.
