I in eu .' f The Fort Scott Press says Hon. A. Ellison, of that city, ha polished block of ir.srbU) tlie finest yet, at ; (T least it h. received the highest polish of any jet seen. It came from his farm, where it is found in shittMlaitce. Upon this handsome block of marble ha been engraved "Johnson and the Constitution, Kurt Scott, Kansas." The design is to serj it to Washington. Mr. Hunks recently said in his speech, that several years nine he was Impressed with the s'tt tr.mit in:v Ii; to him by our Minister to Belgium, Mr. Sanford who liitd Miid that Karon Von Ifumbolt had told him, thai, fa iii judgment, it was impossible that tho mountains of Virginia sl.ould not yield diamonds ; that the configuration and character of the country of Virginia indicated to JIumbolt, who knew the p! ysical woiiil as other men know mankind, that the mountains of Virginia would ultimately be found a depository of this the richest and most rare of precious a tones . A couple of weeks ago we announced the anpiittul at Corytlon, Indiana, of a young man nanied .-vmicjer charged with the murder of Judge Timbrrluko. The koii of Judge T. attempted to kill Someyer in tlie C ttrt House after bis acquittal, but was prevented. On last Tuesday rJomeyer was killed by young TimLri lake, in a cornfield nisr Corydon. The murderer ha esoajed, Politics was at (he bottom of the original dilliiulty. TLu contracts for the improvement of the Michigan City harlior has been let to a Canadian firm for $Srt,0011, and work will b at once commenced, and pushed forward to speedy completion. The only cotton Mill in the State, that amounts to has ten thousand spindles and cost $200,000. It pays dividends of IV per cent. Ueorge Washington Sage who committed the brutal murder in Jennings county, on the 7th' instant, has been c nvicted of murder in the first degree, and sentenced to be hung on Friday, May 25th. Muoy of the farmers of Tipton county propose plow ing up the ground, sown in wheat last fall, and planting in it corn, the wheat having been destroyed by the winter. m We find the following notice in the South Iieud I'l-gistcr: -'Hon. J. A. Hendricks will give his reasons for Toting against the Shuey Temperance Hill during the late extra session of the legislature, n,t the Muthodist Churehin Monday evening next." That Hill is being discussed at many points in the State. On Friday, Henry Miller, a cabinet-maker of South Kend, was arrested tor committing a rape on an adopted daughter, a cripple girl often years. Tho evidence showed that illicit intercourse had been kept op for some time, as incredible as the story nppcurs. Miik r h as held to bail in $2,000 and is in jail. He claims that it iaa conspiracy to ruin him. Whelchcl, who was tried for murder at Kolomo, and sent b the Penitentiary and afterwards returned for a new trial,.upon change of venue frini Tipton to Hamilton county, tho case has been concluded at i olilesville, the jury failing to agree, although out j from Friday until Monday. J. W. Evans, Esq , for I the defense, spoke for eight hours. The Clipper says this defense was the ablest ever made at tli.it bar. X recent attempt was made at Etna tlreen by a man named Jerremiah Allnrtson to poison bis wife, so that he could better enjoy the company of Miss Mary Ann Loyd, of that place, who he seemed devoted to. This Miss Loyd was his assistant in the poison- ' ing matter, and I'r. Kline was taken into their. ronti- I deuce, who for a Urge sum of money gave them the ! poisou. The latter, like a good citizen, exposed the J villainous scheme, before the poison was administed- j ed, and the guilty couple are now in jail. j . t & One of the Government Revenue j detectives on the Canadian frontier ! writes to the Commissioner of Customs, i that the smugglers have laid pipes across ' the St. Lawrence river, and are engaged ! in pumping whiskey from Canada into the United States. I &Vr. Windship," the strong man, j now lifts a dead weight of twenty six hundred pounds, and says he means to ; keep on until he can lift three thousand pounds, when he will stop. JtiT Madam Juarez, wife of President i Juarez, of the Mexican Republic, has ar rived here and is the guest of Scnor ; Romero in New York City. XtT People should always be on the ; lookout for frauds in small things as w ell ! as great. An advertisement lat ly ap j peared in a New York paper, promising, j on the receiptof twenty-five cents, to ! send a recipe to keep water in wells and i cisterns from freezing. An honest far- j mer, anxious for the information, for war.lea lue money and by return mail received the following answer, which we print for the benefit of all our readers : 44 Take in your well and cistern on cold nights, and keep them by the fire.

Epi.raim liateman was tie president of the Council of New Jersey forty years ago, which was the Senate, lie was the caucus candidate of the Adams parly (or United States Senator, an 1, as president of the Council, presided over the joint conventions of the Legis'uture. In November, 132", Dr. Itateman pr -si I d over the m.-eting to elect a United States Senator, and the rote bring a t'e, he voted for himself, and by that vote secured his own election. The legRiity ot his vote was never questioned, cither in Jew Jersey, or in the United States Senate, though partisan warfare was then very warm. The party in New Jersey, opposed to the Democracy, then and now did not complain of the action of the present presiding officer of the New Jersey Stite Senate, who mid.i himself Seaker of that body by his own vote.

We desire any party with which we eo perate to be free from the corruptions of politics. Cincinnati Times. The Carlinvilie (III ) Democrat has been informed by an old nurseryman, who examined many of the peach trees in that vicinity, and assures it they are uninjured. Ths New York Evening Post says that a business man in Williamsburg, whose safe has been blow open three times by burglars, now pursues the plan of leaving the key in the lock. He is tired of paying for repairs. The Fkkkomen's IIcreac. General Strong, sent some time time since by (leu. Howard on an inspecting tour through tlie South, reports the affairs of the bureau as progressing favorably. IS'early all oT the freedmen are employed at good wages, and the people generally acquiesce in the new system of free labor. In referring to Gov. Walker, of Florida, Gen. Strong says that he believes him to be one of the truest anil best men in the South, ami states that he is using all his influence and power to protect the freedmen and their interests. Circular from the President. Washington, April S. The President has just issued the following circular to the heads of departments in reference to appointments to otlice : It is eminently right and proper that the Government of the United States should give earnest and substantial evidence of its just appreciation of the service of the patriotic men who, when the life of the nation was imperiled, entered the army and navy to preserve the integrity of the Union, defend the Government, and maintain and perpetuate unimpaired its free institutions. It is therefore directed : 1. In appointments to office in the several Executive Departments of the General Go eminent, and the various branches of the public service connected wi.h said Departments, preference shall be given to such meritorious and honorably dischaiged soldiers and sailors. pattifiilarlv those who have been disabled l v 'wounds reeeived or disease contracted in line of duty, as may possess proper qualifications. '2. That in all promotions in said departments and the several branches of the public service connected therewith, sucli persons shall have preference, when equally eligible and qualified, over those who have not faithfully and honoiably served in the land and naval forces of the United States. I Signed Andrew Johnson. Ixkcctivk Mansion, April 7, The Uroidcnt and the Freedmen's Bureau. The assertion was made a Enroth ao, and has since been w idely published, that the Freedmen's Bureau Bill whieh the President vetoed, was submitted .to him pr.rious to its passace, ani that be expressed his approral of it. The Washington correspondent of tlie Cliieair Journil, a careful and conscientious writer denies the statement : 44 One thin? that I see oimt the rounds of the press needs cotrectuif, namely, that 1 'resident Johnson had been consulted in gettinjr np the Kreedmen'a Bill which he atierwards vetoed, anil that he had approved of it in the presewtf? of General Howard, tiir. Trumbull and ctr.trs. This is not so. The President had no actual know tee"e of the bill as passed, until it wa,a preentd to him and considered in Cabinet meeting, lie h. n. tor th first time, became aware of the seriously objectionable character ot the bill. I'pto tUiat t!n, be was rot aware that it contained the provisions whit h caused him to veto the measure. He always has been, and is now, in taTor of an efficient Freedmen's tnraaa. He approves of the present on, and would equally appro o sew one. from which the objectionable features ot the vetoed bill should be omitted. TLese facts I Lt fir m indisputable authority." Three -fourths of the slandercn sUtemeEts affecting tie President will be found to contain aa little truth as this. Toe President is neither a fool wor a knave. Were fce totally devoid of principle be is not the man to make so sai!Setess a blunder aa to commit himself to a measure ose day and eppoee it the next. A cobim ward politician would not be caught ia such a trap. The Jcnixal's state or.nt is undoubtedly cerrect, as tbe Pn shier. t"s articnsiuce abundantly proves.

It would be economy on tlie part of tlie government. I Many of the intelligent negroes are in ! favor ot this scheme. Propect Ahead. There has hardly been a perioj in the iiistorv of finance and trade since the war, when everything appears so uncertain as at present, when all are waiting to see what w ill " turn up. " The Suspension of action on the Loan Bill, anil the steady full in the price of gold, has startled all interested in trade holders of goods in most cases doing their best to maintain j prices, and those ho may be classed as buyers, men i w ho are known to want goods, refusing, for the pres- j ent, t buy. Not that this means anything like undue j fears of trouble ahead, either, as we take it, because, as we have token occasion to declare hitherto, wirbj the Government the basis of the whole financial s.' stem strong, there can be no general giving way of credits, nothing as matters look now that can appertain to or resemble the panics " of the years gone by. If we consider for a moment, that when Government and the banks of the country suspended specie payments at the beginning of the war, they then sounded the depths of what may be termed their financial troubles, we can look on the future hopefully, since there cannot well be any changes but what must approximate for the country at large to 9"u-l-'-hi-'K 1? if mind that the Secrets ry of the Treasury has thus far exhibited no signs of being flurried; that he evidently feels that with a little aid from Congress and the President sure to be given in some shape before Congress adjourns he is master of the situation, the most timid and doubting should take courage, because with the policy contemplated, certain, the country nil! be once mora enabled to go on with business again. Tbat the Secretary's views have been generally somewhat misapprehended in relation to bia purpose to return to specie payments, alarming the timid to some exieni, wouui seem 10 be toe case, tiut it we refer to his recent letter to the chairman of the C mittee on Ways and Means, a single passage should serve to allay any uneasiness felt. He wrote: " Iq regard to the other important features of the DI" the authority to withdraw I nited -States notes, I have merely to remark that 1 conceive it to be of vast importance to tue business of the country, the welfare ot the people, and the credit of the nation, that such a -na,DClal ful,cv hu Jpted by this Cougress as W)U prepiire the wav for , ,,.,, , ie p.ymenU When this can be brought about will depend upon the ,UK1"slTJ' lraiK rei:l turns between the United States and foreign nations. ins noi uesiraoie mat specie payments siouid b restored until that restoration can be ma ie permanent by increasing industry ud a proper adjustment ol tne trade with Kurope. " Now, there is nothing like financial Quixotism in the above ; nothing that savors of undue haste, or any disposition whatever to press matters to disastrous results.
