SATURDAY , FEBRUARY 1837. QirWe are authon'ze to announce the Hon. Amos I-xe, as a candidate for re-election - represent this district in the next 'igress of the U. States.

fgflt U rumored that Geo. II. Dunn, Esq, will not be a candidate for Congress at the next election; and that (7en. jMorg ax of Rush county, will be the candidate of the Whig party.

; 05" We are authorized to announce Willi am V. Cheek, Esq. of Laughery 'township, as a candidate for Clerk of the Dearborn Circuit Court, at the : next August election.

J CO The Legislature of this State adjourned sine die on Monday last. We have not given any summary of the proceedings this week, for the reason that we have not received our Indianapolis papers. We learn from our members, however, that the bill to ei rect a new county out of the county of Dearborn, was again brought up in the Senate, and lost by the same vote as s on the question of indefinite postponement. The plan of disposing of the surplus revenue, is to place one half of sit in the Banks, the interest on which is to go to internal improvements; and the other half is to be placed in the ; hands of Commissioners in the several counties, to be loaned out, and the in j terest thereon to be applied to common s schools. : 05uThe People's Friend," publish ed at Brookville, has been enlarged to an imperial sheet, and much improved in its appearance. We should like the i Friend much better, however, if il would quit publishing long advertise merits for eastern newspapers. CO'The last Vevay Times announces g James M. Cotton as a candidate to 5 represent Switzerland county in the j next Legislature. The Legislature in despatching buesir.ess quite rapidly; and, indeed, we! have it to say in candor, that the Legisllature of Indiana transacts more busiIness in the same period than any legislative body with which we have been acquainted. We have attended (in whole or part) ten sessions of other legi islatures, and are convinced our own : consumes less ti?ne and money in discharging their legislative duties than any of them. And to theii credit be it spoken, that they do less quarrelling 1, about National Politics, than most State Legislatures. While that of Ohio and other States are thrown into perfect tu ,mu!t and riot about the election of a t Door-keeper, or some subordinate ofh cer, we presume one half (he members ,( our Legislature cast their votes for hese officers without knowing or enuiring what are the politics of the I'andidates. This is as it should be, tnd is deserving the commendation of their constituents, and is an example orthy the imitation of older Slates. Indiana Farmer. A hill has been reported in the Sene, and is now before that body, to prode for supplying, as far as practicable. ic Io-s of the records of patents, and of ihe valuable models of inventions, Mirnt in the late conflagration of that t'ce.

Disgraceful. Extract from a letter

received in this place from Indianapolis, dated on the 19th inst: "The question how the surplus reve nue will be disposed of, may yet be as difficult to settle as was that ofthe Mich igan road. Yesterday some provoking language passed between Messrs. Profitt and Jones; at noon Jones attacked Protitt, while sitting in his room, with a cowhide, and both attempted to use dirks, but were prevented bv Mr. Crume. In the afternoon so soon as the House adjourned, Profitt struck Jones on the head with a cane, at the same time slipped and got one of his feet in the rounds of a chair; the blow only stunned Jones andon recovering he fell upon Protitt with his 05", while he was fast Profitt in the meantime striving: to open his knife, which was hard to open they were parted and their weapons taken from them. It was found that they both had pistols and knives. They both this morning made acknowl edgement, fearing. 1 suppose, of beir expelled. It is said, that Prohtt has written his resignation and intends o fet ing it." Times. Columbus, (Ga.) Jan. 3. Indian Hostilities. Again the hos tile Creeks have broke loose and commenced depredations and murders. The plantation of Dr. Battle, on Cnwaga creek, was besieged by a part. ,,i Indians, five or more in number, who fired upon and killed one white man and two negro men at the same time burning the dwelling and out houses of Dr. Battle, But five Indians were seen on the occasion, but there was reason to be lieve, that a much greater number were concealed in the swamp. It is not known whether these Indians were of

A resolution has passed both branches of the Kentucky Legis lature, recommending the recognition of the independence of Texas. The Senate had postponed the resolution indefinitely, but it seems the public feel ing w as manifested so strongly in favor of the measure, that the Senate retra ced its steps, and voted the resolution as adopted by the House.
