Tins may bo done in a fewwords. My sole and o:,!v object in writing the article, was (o call public attention to the importance of a turnpike from Rising Sun to Nap deoh.nmi to endeavor to get up an excitement in regard to it, and not let it die awav. as my impression was, it w as likely to. 1 utterly disclaim any intention of impeaching the motives of the Commissioners, for not acting on it; nor wa- i! my wish to say any thing unfri, ivlhj (o Rising Sun, or any other place. I hope this explanation may caiet all f-:uty, and clear me cf the charge of being an enemy to the road, or to Rising Sun. The fact is, I hav e alwavs been a friend to the improvement I had the honor of drafting the petition w hh h obtained the charter, and on all suiiahh; occasions, 1 have introduce 1 the -nbje, !. and urged the propriety ;ii,d u-ce.-si( of sonic acli'm in thn premises; and il. in so doing, I hav e erred or oiTetided.

Ought I not to do unto all as 1 would have them do tome? ami after relief (ions like these, I am sure that no well di-posed scholar will be guilty of forcing his instructor lo at t contrary to Ins own inclination, because il is a ruMoin of long st;'din. Every man of good understuudii g will accord with me and say that every evil practice should be done away; its antiquity is no argument why it should not, but on the contrary, as the world is reforming, il plainly shows that it should be abolished. Y hen will people see the evil cf liiis practice, and put a stop (o i( altogether. I remember when on a visit !o (he State of Ohio, of being at a prayer j meeting the evening before christmas. 1 heard an inoiviuual pray that "moos might speedily be done away, and every one submit to the laws of his coun try."' He. went home and that very night cquipt two of his eldest sons, w uli ropes, &c. for mobbing their teacher the next morning. I ask, did his words accord with his works? Then if we wish to sec mobs put down, let us not only say so, but act also. Let eve ry well disposed person use his iniluence to check (he desolating evil in its 'ise to raise his voice against the evil practice o( ''barring out teachers;' uid when this custom, which i decided ly contrary (o law, justice and reason, s done away, then our (owns and cities vill be no more interrupted by mobs. Schools will he carried on under the direction of judicious teachers, and without fear of being mobbed. Then we shall ensure liberty and freedom to the rising generation, rind peace lo ev ery public employ ment which is now in imminent danger of that fatal disease, Mobocraey. But when shall man behold this change ? When every teacher -hall refuse to treat his school, and every parent discountenance such conduct in their children, and every scholar disdain the idea of demanding a treat from their teacher. Yes, when this simple reformation shall fake place in (he public mind, we shall see its good e fleets; we shall see the scholar submit to (he will of his teacher, and man to the just and righteous laws of his country. A" FRIEND TO VIRTUE. Ai'J'AlHS OF TKXAS. T T : 'i I, ,T ..... l.,, a few week since, given a summary view of a publication, issued by Col. Edward J. Wilson, and Capt. C. L.

Gen. C. fui ther states, that he cannot assign any reason w hy Col. Wilson should not have been tieated with pi oper respect, on his arrival at Yelasco, unless it was, becau-e the President perceived that his object was not so much to assist in establishing the mdTendeiice of I exas. as to ag 'ranze himsilf. He asserts that, as not U- than uOO men will entitle a person (0 the rank of Colonel, according lo the ;iw on the subject, it was not in (he power of Mr. Burnet to bestow it on the commander of the "Ladies' Battalion;"' 'out that all volunteers are entitled to grants of land, in proportion to their services, without reference to (lie period of their arrival in the country, although 'it was not contemplated by the law, thai the first act of a volunteer ofiicer would be lo use the chain and compass of a survey or,"" instead of '"the sword of the soldier and the patriot." lie further observes that, "disappointed in his ambitious pretensions to rank. and finding that no lands were (o be had in Texas without fighting for them, Mr. Yv ilsou determined to abandon (he country, and march back"' to Kenlucky with his detachment; that his influence, however, was not suflicient (o induce "more (ban 30 or 40 of the brave 300"' to return with him; and that (lie remainder nobly resolved to join the army, where (hey have received "an enthusiastic and hearty welcome." The General denies thai any proposition was made to Coi. Wilson, by any r.idcers in the Texian service, "to scour (he country, and take every thing valuable whic h theycoulJ (ind, until they had paid themselves, and then return to the United States," as is alledgcd in the publication issued by the latter, in connection with Capf. Posllettiwaite ; but expresses the opinion, that if it was ever made, it must have heen by "some disappointed land and office-hunter. ," lie likewise declares the denunciations contained in the document referred to, against (he population, (he government. and the army of I exas, to be positively untrue say s that Messrs. ilson and Postlethwaite, who were in the country "but a few days, and at a single' point," could not have had it in their power, from personal observation, "lo perceive and estimate the w hole moral, civil, political and military condition and capacities of an entire nation, spread over a territory of more than six hundred miles in extent ;"' that "they never were within an hundred miles of the army,"' and "had no communication with any of its principal olhc.ers; and (hat, instead of (heie being no organized government, "a President and Vice President had been chosen in obedience to the Constitution," and "a Congress, composed of a Senate and House of Representative, elected by the people," and possessed of their entire confidence. In conclusion, Gen. ('. publishes an extract from an ordinance and decree, issued la-l . January, by the constituted authorities of Texas, by virtue of which in: is authorized "to raise, organize, arm, eijuip, and take command"' of an Army of Reserve, which he proposed to rai-e in the United Stales lo assist in the defense of Texas, and pledging the public faith of (ho country for the reimbursement of the attending expen-e; ays that all the volunteer emigrants ent out and commissioned by him, have been received by the Government ; dledges that all his acts have been in "bii ( conformity with the laws; de clares that if Mr. Wilson had accepted (he commission tendered (o him before he left Keidin-f v. .ami had man lied to "''army lh.i ivmibl have been lio J 1 ' dub. ally; and assuics the members of 'ho "La,j(.s' Battalion," who may still be willing t,, comply with (heir ong.ago"h(s, that they will yet be received, ami "-th.it all the promises made to them in the name of the Republic, will be nc!ly fulfilled." I his publication is accompanied by ;'iodrv certificates, from officers in the lexian army, the general tenor of

hood of Lexington, which too

whic h goes to invalidate the most material statements heretofore made by Messrs. Wilson and L'ostlethwaite, and to show that the representations ot those gentlemen are, to say the least of them, not entitled to implicit credence. On Saturday evening last, while a respectable family of this town were taking lea in company with somf riends, who were on a visit, they were

alarmed by an exclamation from one of their guests, thai the jelly they were eating, was saturated with pulverized glass. Other ladies at the table, declared that particles of glas were -tii king to their lips and tongues. Some of the company supposed that an attempt had been made to poison the family, hut the gentlemui of the house knowingfrom the character of his fam-l ily,lliat (his was impossible, attributed it (o accident, suggesting at the samej time, that it might be chrystalized par-j tides which had been found in the jd j Iv. The next morning a more particu-i lar examination w as made, anil hi-'sug-j geslion found lo be true ; the jelly contained manv particles as clear as j ehrvstalitsolf. The particles were of j various sizes and shapes, with points as j sharp as flu; finest cambrii k needle. j This jelly was made of grapes and ! brown sugar. Will some of cur chemists inform us what produced the chrystalized particles, and bow such a pro cess may be avoided ? JWidi-on iianiur. THE I f F 1" I : I i I. N C I'. In some, parts of Indiana , corn i-' sold j at ten cents a bushel, eggs for three i cents a dozen, and chickens are given 1 away, in Boston eggs are twenty sev j en cents a dozen, potatoes about twoj dollars a bushel, and you can hardly j look at a chicken without paving for it. j B st in Times. If the Boston Editor had shown as j much ignorance of the prices current j of China as he has of Indiana, it would j have been little credit lo him; but it l fashionable to be ignorant in matters near home and which concern you, just as it is a mark of fashionable scholarship for a man (o "mutnalo barbarous ("reek." while he is unacquainted with plain English. The price of corn through Indiana for some time, say two or three y ears, has ranged from 25 lo 75 cents per bushel averaging pel haps 37. Eggs in market from 3 to 1 8 cents, and thick ens are frequently "given" to us at from 10 to -JO cents. The truth is that in view of tht; cheapness and fertility of laud, the western farmer gets a belter compensation for his labor, and a better interest on his investment , than in any other part ofour country , or perhaps any othThese litrTe incidental hits at the West, often mean more than they directly express. "I can't live here," says a down taster. "I'll go to Indiana where land is cheap and fertile, ami where I can make something" "And what will you make by that ?" say s a Boston Editor." " Your corn will only bring you 10 cents a bushel, your eggs 3 cents a dozen, and your chickens you must give away." Do you take the meaning ? In d ia na Fa rnicr. The Lead Tuade. There are annually exported from the Upper Mis sissippi lead mines to New York, about 1 1,000,000 pounds of load, and the epening of new mines at Du Buque and Mineial Point, in Wisconsin Territory, will this year probably swell it to 20,000,000 pounds.

A petition is to be presented to the Tcrriioi ial Legislature of Wisconsin, nexl maiilh, for authorizing a company to build a rail road from Milwaukie to some eligible point on the Mississippi, and to terminate at Cassville. The length will be about 150 miles. On this road it is calculated the immense freighting from (he mining district will be done, and taken thro1 our lakes and the Erie canal to New Yolk, which can be done in less than one quarter of the time it now takes by (he New Orleans route. We hope no lime will be lost iu putting so important a work into operation; ami we can safel) conclude that no other route can compete with it for the lead trade of (he upper country. )rlroit . Idv.

cincinnati theatre consumed by fire. Cincinnati, Oct. 22. This spacious building, fronting on Third street and running back to Market street, caught fire yesterday morning ami was entirely destroyed. The tire originated as follows: The lamplighter in (rimming (he lamps, let fall a bottle containing spirits of turpentine; the bottle was broken, and the spirits

! by some means caught fire. Before j the blaze couldbe arrested, il was communicated fo the scenery, and such was (he rapidity of (lie progress of the devouring element, that in less than fifteen minutes the entire roof of the building was envf loped in (lames. The Prompter and Mr Martin, the carpenter, of the Theatre, were sitting by r 1 1 i i i . i i .i i m ,0l)"- tl(!Xr? w-' u,e l;lt"Pll::ll,Pr 've :,la,m- Tht-' li,(,t'r one ui me lonuv stoves when me lamnproceeded to a room in the m per stuiy of the building, which was live stories on .Market street, for the purpose of securing a sum of money which he deposited there in a client, ami has not since been heard of. The melancholy supposition is, that in endeavoring to secure his money, the 11. imes, which were very rapid in their progress, extending fo every part of the building in an incredible short space of time, overtook him, and prevented his retreat! lie is represented as h.iving been a worthy citizen, and an indu-trious and ingenious mechanic. There were several small buildings adjoining the Theatre, fronting mi Market St.. w hich caught fire, and were considerably injured. Tin y al-o sustained considerable damage by (iu- falling of the walls of (be Theatre. The M nktrt IIou-e,aiid the buildings on the opposite side of "he siia et, wi re verv much endangered, hut escaped injury through the exeitiuns of the firemen and rHiz-us. n Thealre was owned by Mr. (-lll of N.

The night previous to the fi: e, was Mr. Thome's benefit, and we do not recollect having seen the theatre so crowded for a Jung time, as w as upon that occasion. The smouldering ruins, as we passed them yesterday afternoon, called (o our mind the guv scene which we had witnessed the night previous on the same spot, within the same w alls, which were now totleri'ig and reeling from the effects of tin- lire. The loss sustained by Mr. Russi II, we arc told, amounts to seveial thousand dollars. The wardrobe, which was extensive, and a number of valuable bonk, niu-ic, &e. were entirely destroyed. Consid erable loss was also sustained an nong the members of the company Republican. A Wife's Solicitude.--In Bertrand'ss Plague of" Marseilles, an affecting incident is related which shows the disinterested feeling which characterizes female attachment. A young woman was attacked with (he plague. She was aware of (he nature of (he horrid disease and seemed only anxious that her husband should escape. During her illness, she uniformly refused all assistance from him; nor would she suffer him to approach her, and carried her cares for his safety even beyond the term of life, when she found her last hour approeh, she desired him to throw her the end of a long cord, which she fastened round her body, enjoining him, with expiiing breath, not to (ouch her corpse, but lo drag her by means of this cord to her grave. Formidable Insurrection. An a1. inning insurrection has broken out at Lowell. Only think of it; fifteen hundred girls, under arms and resisting with all the lightning of bright eyes and all the thunder of nipple tongues, the constituted authorities of (he place. If (he campaigns at (he south and southwest are over, it is to be hoped the President will dispatch one of the Major Generals with a suflicient force lo bring these daring rebels to their duly. The Secretary at War should not, we. think, order any of the bachelor officer on (his duty (hey would in all probability be taken captive. Cin. Chron. Fourteen thousand children were born iu the city of Paris, in the year 8;?5, who hail no fathers! This is undoubtedly the most nun u kable dispensation of Pi ovideiice Jevcr known.
