Whether the writer has succeeded, or not, in prejudicing the Republican mem bcr3 of such organizations, who are delegates to tho State Convention, we know not; J but certain it is that he ha3 done Mr. IIobbs great injustice, and the edi tors ; of ". the Journal, by publishing . it, hate done him a deep wrong, notwithstanding their excuse for doing so, was to enable" the friends. of Mr. "II. or him- , , Wc Clipped tllO article frcm thO Jour - nal and handed it to Mr. II., who brand ed the. statements male by the "rough , ashler" correspondent of the Journal, as , untruthful in every particular. - I Since the above was written, we find ! ftlT, rnmntA rpfntatinn nfi (.UV .w"ww WWVHWH w those charges, and a vindication of Mr, II., in the Journal of Tuesday last, from a friend of his, who signs ' himself "Another Educator .and a Mason," which fully corroborates the statements made by Mr. II. to us: 1. Jlr. IIobbs is not "bitterly hostile to "to the Masonic fraternity." He is a member of the Society of Friends, or j "Quakers," whose discipline forbids him to become a member of any secret or gani.ation, and this is doubtless thc strongest ground for thc assumed hostility lie fully recognizes the right of every one to choose for himself in this j matter, and holds that the Masons and j similar benevolent secret societies are entitled to the fullest protection in all their rights and privileges under our constitution and laws. 2. Mr. IIobbs has never written a book on thc subject of Masonry, nor is he now writing such a book, lie has no inclination or time for such a work. Thc understanding that he is doing so, is a 4tale of fiction, without the slight est foundation in fact, invented and prorogated to induce Masons to prosti- t tute their noble institution to the base j work of crushing a man of spotless moral TPnutation." ' 3. lie did oppose calling in the Masons to lay the corner stone of the Nor mal School building at Terre Haute.- x This opposition did not arise from any i.if;!,ir n niflsnnq nt alien, out uecuuse lie considered it inappropriate for the honor of that service to be conferred upon any rry, sect, or organization not strictly educational in its .aims,. and nature. . Before his protest was handed in, it was submitted to an earnest Mason," who cordially endorsed its entire scope, if not its - every word. 'It could noH therefore, have been "specially hostilu to Masonry." f - - - 4."- This protest, Mr. lIobl3 assures mc, "is all that he remembers1 ever to have written -which can -be garbled or distorted so as to indicate any .hostility to fcecrfct societies" on his part..- . r

If it will do him any good to know it. we will inform Mr. Julian that we believed when we connected him with the authorship of the letter, in the paper that his brother edits, and which is expressly devoted to his fortunes, that he was the author of it. We do know that uo Washington correspondence of the True Republican (otherwise known as the Julian family Organ,) is looked at and considered the production of the Hon. George W. Julian. Mr. Julian knows who the writer of the letter is, and takes care not to tell. It was not characteristic in him if he knew nothing of the letter, for he has the keen scent of a long-nosed hound for slander. The difficulty with Mr. Julian is his fancy that he is a candidate for Vice President." i The Cincinnati Commercial states that on Wednesday not less than 1,800 delegates had arrived at Indianapolis, to attend the State Convention, and there wasn't a hall larirc enough in the city to contain those already there and cxpectcd.1 The convention meets to-day, and the Republicans are confident of winning a glerious victory at the State elec"tion orer the so called democracy. - - Republican State Ticket The following Republicans were nominated by the Conveution j-esterday, as the standard-bearers of the Republican Party in this State: .,,,t '?

We understand that the most noted tree of all "the giants of the forest in the vicinity of Richmond, fell beneath the sturdy sLrokes of the woodman's ax, in the hands of our old friead R O. Dormer, on Wednesday, the 12th inst. at 12 o'clock, M. This is one of that noble class of forest trees, which are rapidly disappearing from our midst, and the land that knew them once will know them no more forever. It stood on the land originally purchased of the General Government by David Hoover, Sr., in 1806, and was familiarly known as thc "Big Poplar, on the Newport Turnpike." ; For the last ten or twelve years its white and deadened branches could be distinctly observed from any point on Nortii Seventh Street and for two miles to the cast or north of its locality, towering above all others of the forest. Near to this tree, and almost on the exr.ct spot of the present District School House, No. 5, was erected the first Log School House ever built in this section of the country. Heie, within the shades of the Noble Cld Poplar the sons and daughters of our fiist set tiers, received the rudiments of their education. Here, John S. Newman (and others we might name,) commenced his career in letters, and laid deep and broad the foundation which made him an honored and useful man to society. It makes us feci sorry when we hear of the destruction of one of j those giant trees, and calls to our minrl beautiful ; noem, the first line of which heads this article. Rut in this instance, the tree was dead ; the enemy of all: living things, had crept to its heart and stolen its life away. The top' is split and piled up, waiting its appointed time for the sugar furnace. The body will be cut up into 12 feet lengths and conveyed to thc saw mill, to beworked into flooring and weatherboardinr. ' Ubiquity Tho Telegram relates a remarkable case of a spirit taking flight from the corperosity of. an individual of its intimate acquaintance, and fleeing to Nashville, T nn., where it indited a letter to the Humming Bird . of this city, whilst the aforesaid corperosity remained quietl7 and passively at Washington City ! Thi? beats tho famous Mi9s Jordan's "big toe" exploit all hollow, and Sampson's gate carrying sinks into insignificance in comparison ! This essence of Wood seems to be intangible, as well a3 ubiquitous. . Eoa Racking. T. Seator & Co., are about finishing up one of the most convenient and commodious Egg-packing and Egg-Preserving Depots in the country, at their house nearly opposite their Grocery Store, on West Main street, near theN.V. corner of Main and Front streets. Th-.'ir 1'ins 13 of them are in the cellar, and it is estimated that they wilt contain 30,000 doz. Eggs. These , Itina are made of brick, well laid in rnojter, plastered on the inside with cement, and made perfectly water-tight, and protected troni bursting by pressure from the inside, by a strong wooden fr,ime on the outside. To light the Bin, he has a gas burner over each one. Nothing more perfect, could, we think, bo imagined that tliia Egg- preservative arrangement. The three stories in this building, are used as a Warehouse for storing their produce, feed, Ac, and for packing their Butter and Eggs. Our friend Nestor, is the proprietor of this plan, and an examination of its convenience, will conyince any one that "his head is level" on the Egg question. Xkw Book Ktobe. C. II Johnson, now occupying one of the rooms under the "Tremont House," with his fine stock of Books, Stationery, 4c, has purchased the entire stock of Musical Instruments, with the exception of Pianos, all the Sheet Music, j,and lease on Mr. Clark's, business room in the "Huntington House" block, whither he designs moving with bis book Store, about the first of March next. In the meantime, he invites all who desite anything in his line, at the cheapest possible rates, to give him a call, and examine Ids stock and compare r rices, at his present location under the "Tremont louse." ' " ' We are gratified to learn that the State Convention selected Hon. J. II. Farqhar, as Presidential Elector for this District, and that he accepted that position. A better and more satisfactory selection could not have been made. A good brother in one of the rural districts thought he had a call to preach. Being an indifferent reader, he got a friend to read the Scripture. The chapter on one occasion- was 2Jd Genesis, which contains this verse: Thbsb eight did Milcah bbrto Nabob, Abraham's brother. On this the preacher held forth as follows : "Brethren and sisters, let us consider onr blessings. Morning and evening onr ivives and daughters wilk our cows, and thus supply our wants. But in the davs of good Abraham as you have just heard, it took eight to milk a bbar, and they did net tet much at toat."- -

There was a long discussion upon a motion to investigate a charge that a woman had been put off a Washinton City railway car on accouut of her color.

The morning hour was spent in discussing the subject of the protection of naturalized citizens abroad. The Legislative Appropriation .bill M as discussed, in.

Dall in her recent work, discussing "Woman's Work," gives this homely but attractive picture: "According to thy request, writes a Quaker friend from Wilmington, Delaware, I send thee some facts concerning Sarah Ann Schofield. Some fifteen years since her father became very much involved in dtbt. - He owed some ten or twelve hnndred dollars, having lost largely by working for cotton and woolen mills. His business was making spindles and flyers. His daughter, then just sixteen, proposed to go into her father's shop and assist him, she being the oldest of seven cLHdren. He accepted her offer, and told me himself that in twelve months she could finish more .work and do it hotter than any man he had ever. trained for eighteen. She earned fifteen dollars a week at the rate he paid other hands, ner father died.' Her two eldest brothers learned tha trade of her and went away. She has now two younger sisters in apprenticeship, and a brother fourteen years of age, all working under her turning, polishing, filing and fitting all kinds of machinery. I went out to .see her last week. She was then making water-rams to force streams in barns and houses. ' She is also beginning to make many kiuds of carriage axles. She is her own draughtsman, and occasionally does her own forging. To use her own words Whatany do, I can but try at.' She has a steam engine, every part of which she understands; and I know that her work gives entire satisaction. When they have steady employment, they cleat sixty dollars a week, and she says she would rather work at it for her bread than at sewing for ten times the money. The truth is, it is a business she is fond of. ' . A Democratic Precedent. The Indianapolis Journal says it may be well to re - ind Democrats afflicted with constitutional sp-istus in consequence of the disposition " of Congress to regulate the appellate jurisdiction of the Supreme Court, as it has undoubted authority to do, that when tho Democratic -"party was in power it did not scruple to make that couita part of its political machinery. Listen to the language of that eminent Democrat, Alexander II." Stephens, when pleading L, with Ilia Georgia Convention not to pass an ordinance of secession, on the ground that the General Government had dune nothing to justify that step, lie said : - "Of the Judges of the Supreme Court we have had eighteen from the South, and but eleven from theXorth ; although nearly four-fifths of the judicial business has arisen in the free States, yet a majority of the court haa always been from the South. This we have required, so as to guard against any interpretation of the Constitution unfavorable to us." It did cot need the admission of Mr. Stephens to prove that the Supreme Court was so organized when the Democratic party -was in power, as to echo from the bench the partisan decrees of Democratic caucusses ; yet the men who then prostituted the court to party ends, affect extraordinary zeal for the independence and infallibility of the judiciary, when it is proposed to restrict the appellate jurisdiction of the Supreme Court, or to declare by law that its decisions, to he binding, must by cuncurred in by at lea3t two-thirds, of the judges.' Wc learn that (X Huntington, proposes in a short time to resume the management of his excellent Hotel in this city, so well and favor ably known as the lluntington House." - As "mine host,' Mr.' II. understands his biz.,and travelers and borrders are never "turned empty away" from his well and abundantly supplied table. ? ? 1.. . . s . u. :-r Jtl

He had nothing but a small shovel to work with. "How do j-ou expect to get through that drift ?" asked a man passing along. By keeping at it," said the boy cheerfully, "that's how !' . ' , .. That is the secret of mastering almost every difficulty under the sun. If a hard task is before you, stick to it. Do not keep thinking how large or hard it is; but go at it, and little by little it will grow smaller, until it is done. If a hard lesson is to be learned, do not spend a moment in . fretting; do not lose a breath in saying, "I can't" or "I do not see how;" but go at it and keep at it, study- That is the only way to conquer it. If a fault is cured, or a bad habit broken up, it cannot be done by merely being sorry, or on ' ly trying a little. You 'must keep fighting it, and not give up fighting until it is got rid or.' If you have entered yosr Master's service, and are 'rying to be good and do good, you wilt sometimes find hills of difficulty in the way.
