KISIiXG SUi: SATURDAY MOKXIXC;, MAY 17,1831. NOTICE. Having disposed of one-half of the office of "The Rising Sim," to Alex. E. Glenn, the paper will hereafter be conducted by Steveks Glekn, under the title of "The Rising Sun Times." ISAAC STEVENS.

TO TITE rATRONS OF THE TIMES. It will be seen by the above notice, that herenftcr the undersigned will be associated with Mr. Stfvens, as joint editor and publisher of " The Rising Sun Times." It bus been customary for an editor on taking upon himself 'the responsibility' of conducting a public journal, either in whole or in part, to lay before that public from whom he expects his support, a statement of the principles which will guide him, and the doctrines he will advocate; and from this custom it is neither my wish nor my intention to depart. In the present instance, however, I shall carefully avoid making many promises, well knowing that thereby I shall have the less to perform. The paper will, ai heretofore, be strictly neutral in regard to politics. It is not the intention of the editors at this time to take a stand on either side of the great political parties which ejiist iu our country they consider that party spirit and party zeal has already ran too . high, and they would much rather lend their aid in endeavoring to subdue it, than be the means of adding more fuel to the flame. Wc hnve been told that a neutral paper cannot live in times like the present; but this we conceive to be an error; we believe the reading part of the community are anxious to enjoy a respite from the political broils which have engendered so much hard feeling and enmity, and destroyed social and private intercourse. For support, honever, we rely on both parties, and in order to please all, we 6hall occasionally publi-h a political article on both sides, being careful at the same lime, to "Follow truth where'er it leads the way." It is intended to devote a considerable portion of our columns to the interests of the Farmer and Mechanic ; and we hope that by care ful and judicious selections, we shall be enabled to make our paper both useful and interesting to these important branchesof Home Industry. The local interests of this section of country demand, at present, more than ordinary atten tion; and we promise that our columns shall alw ays be open to oik citizens, whenever they may think proper to assert their rights or en deavor to redress their wrongs. With the above brief Tiew of uiy sentiments. I submit my claims for patronage, (in conjunction with those of the former proprietor,) to the consideration of the citizens of this section of my adopted State. A. E. GLENN. STATE BANK. We copy the following paragraph in relation to the loan for the State Bank, from tbc Paoli Indiana Sentinel of the I st instant. We ck not pretend to vouch for the correctness of the statement, as it is the only intelligence of that nature which has rctcicd this place. "Good News'. We learn since our last publication, that the loan on the part of the Slate f Indiana, for the purpose of putting the "State Bank in operation, has been effected by the Commissioner?, at four and a half per cent. This is much better than we anticipated. If the "precious staff"" can be got at ?o readily, srid at such a reduced price, wc cannot conceive the cause of the great outcry of "pressure!" "pressure T" The Vincennes Gazette says : "With pleasure we announce that the stock in the branch of the Indiana State Bank at this place, is nearly all taken we are therefore assured of hav ing a branch at Vincennes." MADISON BANK. It is stated in a late No. of Bickncll's Coun terfeit Detector, that there arc in circulation purious five dollar bills on the Farmers' and Mechanics' Bank of Madison, in this State, They are printed on very coarse paper, and may easily he detected. A gentleman in this vicinity informs us that a bill of the above description was presented to him a few days since, ami rejected. They pur port to be engraven by Murray, Draper, Fairman it Co., letter B. John H. Eaton has been appointed by the fresident, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, Governor of the Territory of Floida, in place of William F. Duval, whose com mission has expired. Major Eaton was, at the time of his appointment, President of the Ches npcake and Ohio Canal Company an office of considerable trust and profit. SPECIE. In addition to the following pleasing items of intelligence, it may be recol lected that we published a few days since, several amounts of large importations of the same precious roods: par ticularly the sum of several millions of dollars in silver coin in the course of being brought into the country on account ol tne Messrs. Rothschild. As these importations are generally the proceeds 01 tne productions of our col ton, sugar, tobacco, rice and wheatfiolds, they may be hailed as a restora tion of the Deposits in the neht wav We copy from the New York Journa of Commerce. -Arista. Manner. "Svecie. The Roscoe has on board 560,000, The Hibernia has $70,000

The Pacific has an equal sum; the President, from London, has a larger amount, and several other vessels have more or less. A gentleman passenger in the Roscoe, says a larger sum is in process of shipment than we are disposed to name at this time. The ship Congress, from Vera Cruz, brings about 70,000 in specie. Specie is every day flowing into the country by hundreds of thousands at a time. Every vessel from England has more or less on board. The President has ,$300,000. One house alone entered $60,000 this morning. The London packet Montreal, hourly looked for, will bring more than 600,000. The Pacific from Liverpool, brings upwards of 300,000, of which 1 80,000 arc for the Branch the rest for individuals. For the last few days it is estimated, that nearly a million of dollars in specie have been received at New York, and large sums are hourly expected."

EDITORIAL CONSISTENCY. It is a source of regret and astonish ment, that men who value their good name and character for veracity in the ordinary transactions of life, should so essentially vary from the truth in their editorial statements on political or oth er subjects, in w hich they feel an inter est. Let a person pick up two papers of opposite politics, or of different par ties; both shall profess to give correct statements of facts, and the true result of certain things or transactions, yet they will be found as different as light is from darkness, or as opposite as truth is from falsehood. Now this is entirely wrong, not only as it regards themselves, but as having a tendency to mislead and deceive the public mind, and give to it a wrong bias, or make upon it a false impression. This course is not only censurable, but highly absutd, for although public feeling may be agitated and thrown into commotion thereby for a season, yet like the compass, true to its purpose, though moved and shaken about, the needle turns, wavers and trembles for a short time, then settles down tranquilly and unerringly to the right point. Thus facts may be distorted, and the truth per verted for a while, which can answer no p-oo.1 mirnose: ?et in spite of all as r- i i i .ii sertions to the contrary, the truth, ivlli come out at last, no mistake. 1 lien how must those feel, who have thus endeavored and labored to lead the pub ic astray without effecting their object, f they have a proper regard for a fair character or honorable namet Yet these very men would feel the greatsi indignation, and resent, in a high degree, any insinuations against their word, or want of truth in their common intercourse with their fellow-citizens. An editor should place as high a val ue upon his political reputation as on us private one, and pay the same re gard to truth in the columns of his pa per, as he would in a court of justice: his readers would then be correctly informed, and place confidence in his as sertions, and a great deal of strife and issatisfachon avoided. The editor of the Village Record states, that he has made it a rule, for a number of years past , to deal only with those who deal with him, i. e. to pur chase his hats, shoes, clothing, grocer ics, beef, flour, &c. of his customers, in preference to patronising those who do not take his paper. Good all edi tors ought to follow the example. Stvle. A young gentleman having occasion to ask a lady for the snuffer across the table, addressed her in the fol lowing emphatic and enamored strain "Most beautiful, accomplished, and charming madam, will your ladyship by an unmerited and undeserved con descension of your infinite goodness, please to extend to your most obsequi ous, devoted and very humble servant, that pair of ignipotent dieestors, that I may exasperate the excresences of the nocturnal cylindrical luminary, in order that the refulgent brightness of its re splendent briliancy may dazzle the vision of our ocular optics more po tently.'' A Great Drinker. A cold water man The New 'Bedford paper men lions a Mr. Webbot r airhaven, mass, who is in the habit of drinking one or two quarts of cold water at one draught. He averages six gallons a day, drink . a . ine at tne rate ot a quart an hour both day and night, and not unfrequcntly a gallon and upwards at a time This has been his practice ever 6ince his remembrance. He indulges in no luxuries of food eats moderately en joys excellent health attends prompt ly to his business. When dry he is le verish and dizzy, and feels a burning throughout the system, especially at the stomach, lie had been withou water three hours at one time, the last of which he was in excrutiating pain He is about 40 years of age.

HORRIBLE DISCLOSURE. The occurrence of a fire in New Orleans on the 10th ultimo, has lv to a

disclosure of circumstances of a horrifying character. The Courier of that day has the annexed particulars: "A fire broke out this morning in the kitchen of Madame Lnlaurie, corner of Royall and Bayou streets, which was soon wrapped in flames. It was known to some of the neighbors, that the upper part of this building was used as a prison, and that it was then tenanted by several unfortunate slaves loaded with chains. Information of this fact was communicated to Judge Canonge, who instantly wailed on Mr. Lnlaurie, and asked permission of that gentleman in a polite manner, to have the slaves removed to a place of safety; when the latter, with much rudeness replied, that "there w ere those who would be better employed if they would attend to their own affaiis instead of officiously intermedling with the concerns of other people." The flames gaining rapidly on the building, orders were given to break open the doors, which being promptly obeyed, a most appalling sight was pre sented, in the shape ot several wretched negroes emerging from the fire, their bodies covered with scars and loaded with chains! Amongst them was a female slave, upwards of 60 years of age, who could not move. Some young men carried her to the city guard house, where the others, six in number, were also conducted, to be protected from the cruelty of their owner. We saw one of these miserable beings. The sight was so horrible that we could scarce look upon it. The most savage heart could not have witnessed the spectacle unmoved. He had a large hole in his head, his bodv from head to foot was covered with tears and filled with worms!!! The sight inspired us with so much horror, that even at the moment of writing this article we shudder from its effects. Those who have seen the others represent them to be in a similar condition. We forbear a further description of this revolting spectacle, as it can hardly be agreeable to the feelings of our readers. We hope the Grand Jury will take cognizance of this unparalleled outrage, and bring the perpetrators of it o the punishment they so richly de serve. The Louisiana Advertiser remarks" We are sorry to be obliged to copy the above article, which may give a colorng to the bad opinion expressed and sought to be disseminated against us in the north, but a9 proof that our population are not generally composed of such monsters as Mdme. Lalaurie, we have, however much we may be oppos ed to mobs, the pleasure, as citizeus of New Orleans, ot stating that last night the infuriated populace assaulted, and, in their just indignation, sought the wretch, but not finding her, demolished her dwelling and destroyed her prop erty-. But we leave the subject to judicial investigation, insured that Justice will be done, and the guilty be brought to punishment. lhe Bee ol the 1 Uh ultimo, says "The populace have repaired to the house of tms woman, and have demol ished and destroyed every thing upon which they could lay their hands. At the time of inditing this the fury of the mob remained still unabated and threat ens the demolition of the entire edifice." The Bee of ihe 12th says The pop ular fury which we briefly adverted to in our paper of yesterday,as consequent upon the discovery ot the barbarous and fiendish atrocities committed by the woman Lalaurie, upon the persons of her slaves, continued unabated the whole of the eveuing before last and part of yesterday morning. It was found necessary for the purpose of re storing order, for the sheriff and his of ficers to repair th the place of riot and to interpose the authority of the State, which we are pleased to notice proved effectual, without the occurrence of any of those acts of violence which are common upon similar occasions. We regret, however, to state that previously some indignities had been shown to Judge Canonge, who ventured to expostulate with the assailants upon the propriety of ceasing their operations, and that during the 6ame, deadly weapons were in the hands of many persons, a resort to which atone time was seriously apprehended. Nothing of the kind, happily, however, transpired. nearly the whole ot the edifice is demolished, and scarcely any thing remains but the walls, which the popular vengeance have ornamented with vari ous writings expressive of their indig nation and the justness of their punish ment. The loss of property sustained is es timated by some at 40,000; but oth ers think the calculation exaggerated. It must, however, have been very great indeed, as the furniture alone was of

the most costly kind, consisting of pianos, armoiis, bufets, &c, which were removed to the garret and thrown from thence into the street, for the purpose ot rendering them of no possible value whatever. This is the first act of the kind that our populace have ever engaged in; and although the provocation pleads much in favor of the excesses committed, yet we dread the precedent. To say the least of it- it may be excused, but can't be justified. Summary punishments, the results of popularexcitemeiit in a governmant of laws, can never admit of justification, let the circumstances be ever so aggravating. The whnle of yesterday and the preceeding day, the police jail was crowded by persons pressing forward to witness the unfortunate wretches who had escaped cruelties that would compare with those of a Domitian, a Negro or a Caligula! Fourthousand persons at leaft, it is computed, have already visited these victims to convince themselves of their suffering?.
