INDIANA COLLEGE. The claims of this institution to the attention of the friends of Science, Literature, and Religion, in this and the neighboring States, arc, it is believed, peculiarly worthy of their regard. It is situated in Bloominglon, which is a pleasant and flourishing village about 50 miles South of Indianapolis, on the road leading from the latter place to Leavenworth on the Ohio river; between which points a stage route has been authorized, and is now in operation. A better location for the State College could not have been selected. It is eminently healthy; in the midst of a delightful region of country rapidly advancing in improvement ; sufficiently central to the state; and far enough from the river for the purposes of cheapness and retirement. The slate of society is sufficiently removed from the rudeness of vulgar manners, on the one hand; and from silly affectation and shewy emptiness on the other. The college itself is amdir.istered on such principles as entitle it to the special regard of those who wish, for their sons a truly liberal education. The course prescribed for actual study is so arranged, that every step facilitates the progress of the student; whose attention is concent fitted upon one and but one main object at a time. A multiplicity of vexatious rules is not resorted to in the government of the college. The students are taught that they have a character to form, and important interests at stake. Appeal? are constantly made, not in a formal lifeless manner, but after the diversilied and pains Inking method cf a parent in his own familv, to the honor of i he student, their sense of duty, of propi iety, cf decorum, of interest. They are habituated, in this way, to judge in themselves what is right, and to practice accordingly. Oa religious subjects eveiy thing of the nature of a narrow sectarian bigotry is carefully excluded. The student is exhorted to think, judge a:.d choose for himself: and, in Ids minority, to reverence and obey, in such matters, the directions of his parents. Such is
the course prescribed in the charter of
the Institution; a course which all con
cerned in its government are tlrmly resolved never to abandon. Science, Literature, and Religion, it is honestly be-
TEXAS. We are happy to learn that the report of the rise and junction of the Camanchee Indians with the forces of Santa Anna against Texas, is wholly unfounded. A gentleman who has just arrived from the seat of war, slates that on the 13th ult. there was about 3500 of the enemy in Texas, who had crossed the lines at dilFerent points; that the effective force of Texas maj' be estimated at 5000; that clothes, arms and munitions of war were daily arriving; that beef and corn could be had in abundance, and that the army was in high spirits. Also that Gen. Houston was at Nacogdoches forming a treaty with several tribes of Indians, and that they were far more friendly disposed towards the Texians than the Mexicans. It appears by a letter from Robert Morris to the Governor and General Council, that Cos and his officers, who capitulated at San Antonio, have broken their parole of honor, and are marching into Texas. The world may now judge of the faith of those against whern the Texians war for liberty. alchez Free Trader.
Mew Oiilu.yxs, Feb. 18.
By some papers received from the west of this State, we learn that Gen. Samuel Houston has issued a quasi proclamation, calling on the Texians to declare themselves an independent and sovereign people; and denouncing tliose who are desirous of forming a confederacy with some cf the eastern Mexican States. This indicates loo strongly, a division among the Texian leaders; and may seriously prejudice the interests of Texas, as the Mexican People have made the contest a national affair. General Sesma, a nobleman of wealth and bravery, will command the Mexican expedition against Texas; and Santa Anna will remain at home to attend to his own interests. Bee. From the CharUton Patriot, March 3. Extract of a letter received in this city, dated "Mobile, Feb. 22. I had made up my mind to volunteer, though it seems I am too late, for in conversing with a friend this morning on the subject he informed me that he had just learned from a gentleman direct from Florida, that the Indians are now daily surrendering in small par-
tics, and that it is thought there will
er despair of having a paper in my family. Furthermore, those things that are not edifying to me may be to others." Virginia. On Thursday last Wm. C. Rives was elected by the Legislature of Virginia, to be a Senator from that
Slate, to take the place ot John Tyler, resigned. The votes were, for Mr. Rives, 65; scattering, 41; absent or declining to vote, 31. The term for which Mr. Rives was originally elected (but resigned under instructions.) commenced on the 4lh of March, 1333.
