Having recievcu the appointment of Geologist of the State of Indiana, it becomes my duty by a law passed during last session, at such seasons as I am not actually engaged in a geological survey of the State, to receive, at my residence, such specimens of metals or minerals, taken from the soils of Indiana, as may be sent to me for the purpose of analysis, and of obtaining information regarding their nature and value. Any such geological or minerological specimens sent to mc, addressed A or liar oicns- M-ui in me, iioiji eseu uc imr- , I . . . mony. l'osey count, Indiana, accompanied : by a letter" from "the sender expressing j his wishes on th subject, will be attended

ot from m v nnblic duty in the field. No! charge, of course, will be made for such examination allbrded; but persons, thus sending specimens for private information, will be expected, in all cases, to cause them to be delivered at New Harmony free of cost, and to pay postage on all communications regarding them. In these communications the writer should be particular in staling precisely where each specimen sent was found; also whether on, or how near the surface of thc ground ; whether in detached masses or in regular stratification, and the nature of the overlying or imbedding soil; whether it occurs in large quantities; and any other particulars regarding its location or thc minerals occurring near it, that thc writer may have ascertained. Persons desirous of advancing the in terest of science and who may have an opportunity of collecting interesting speci mens, will coulcron mc a lavorand mate rially assist me in obtaing valuable geologi cal information for the State, by forwarding to me, addressed as above, such speci mens as they may he willing to spare . In such cases I will cheerfully pay all expenses incurred. Engineers, miners, masons, w ell-diggers and quarry-men have thc best opportunity of obtaining valuable specimens, such as mctalic ores, fragments of stone containing in them thc petrified remains of animals and vegetables, rare specimens of frcc-stone, marble, limestone or slate; also varieties of fossil shells, fishes, plants, and bones. When these latter occur, it is very desirable to send along with them, a portion ol the rock in which they were imbedded. If several specimens of rock occur in the lame clilfor quarry, it would be desirable that specimens of each be taken and numbered according to their order and succession, marking the uppermost Number 1, and thence descending. The thickness and quality of ea-h bed might also be men-

tioned; and whether they contain shells, j plants or pebbles in them. If they do, spe- j cimens of each are essential. If the rocks are stratified, that is lying' m regular layers, it should be noticed whether they are horizontal or inclined; and if inclined, at what angle. j Where there are wells, especially deep !

ones, it is useful to get a list of the strata sunk through in digging them, measuring the thickness of each from the surface downwards. A list of all places known to abound in mctalic ores, coal, bitumen, marl, gypsum or plaster of Paris, limestone, slate, pottery and fire-clays, ochre, salt, saltpetre would convey valuable information. In cases of coal beds, specimens of the coal usell and ot the ditioren! strata , it an v, In selecting specimens of common rocks, the most convenient size and shape is that; ota common cake of shaving soap. Not the outside bit, but the second slice struck oil by the hammer, is best. Every specimen should be ticke ted with the name of the place whore found; or with a letter referring to a catalogue describing it. In case of places little known their distance from the nearest well known town, an 1 in what direction, should be1 stated. Each specimen should be wrapped in a separate piece of paper or tow; and they should be packed in straw, moss or shav-, inn-s. in n harrel r.r ;lr.i!iT linv.

The Gripe (or Influenza) has made its appearance in New Orleans. The same disorder, under the latter name, traversed our continent in 1N32. It preceded the Cholera a few months, spreading death in its career. It we recollect the estimates made at the time, it was nearly if not quite as fatal as the Cholera. It is a more insidiuos and more dangerous foe.

KXPRES9 MAIL TO THE WEST. Bv reference to the correspondence of a portion of the Missouri delegation with the Postmaster General, inserted in another column of this paper it will be seen that Mr. Kendall, ever alive to the public interest, has it .in contemplation to establish a DAILY ENPRES MAIL Reticent thc Eastern and Western Cities, thus dispens

ing to the latter the advantages now en'joyed by the eastern and southern Atlantic cities. We hope soon to sec the express mail to the West in successful operation; when wc may expect to receive news from Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Washington, at least two days in advance of the present arrangement. Smce the torog. ing was in type, we have received the Globe of March 2, which! contains the official notice of the .Post Mis- j tcr General for bids for carrying the Ex-; press Mail, from Washington, or from Baltimore to Cincinnati, to commence on the 1st of July next. The time fixed by the schednte is 114 hours to Columbus, and od hours to Cincinnati an average speed of nearly ten miles per hour, night and day, including stoppage. The notice will be found i:i our advertising column.--, to which the attention of enterprising contractors is directed. j Proposals arc also issued by the Post Master General for extending the Express : Mail through the State of Indiana and lili-1 nois to St. Louis, to commence en 1st of January next. I Also, for carrying the Express Mai! from Cincinnati to Frankfort, Ky. thence to : Louisville thence to Nashville, Tenn. thence to HisntsviUe and Montgomery.'

Flock and Grain, wc announce with great pleasure, are rapidly falling in price all over the country. The vast importations from Europe have aided powerfully to produce this result. But for these, wc believe flour would have maintained thc cxhorbitant price of $12 a barrel throughout the summer. As it is, wc hope to sec it down to Some who dipped deep in to the speculation have burnt their own fingers severely. They must do their own crying. By the way, the prices of everything are tending downward, under the combined influences of prcsurc and reaction. Flour is abundant in Ohio at 8 a barrel and coming dow n. Those w ho have delayed sales and held up ju ices with the hope of screwing a few additional dollars trom the necessities f the destitute, must take care ol themselves.

A writer in the National Gazette suggests a method of giving names to tow lis, cities, ecc. which will prevent thc ridiculous repetitions so frequent in our country. Thc plan proposed is to take all the consonants, with the exception of tho letter S, and put. them in a box, and to place tho vowels in another box, to the extent of 100 letters in each, by which means names such as the following w ill come out. in endless variety: Odunu, Min va, Toreno, Adura,Novcno, Lorcto. There is much ingenuity in thc plan, ami its adopt ion would prevent the mistakes frequently made as to the location of a place, as under the existing system it is difficult to know by thc mere name of a town or village w hether it be in I' ranee or Aniciica, on the banks of the Se ine or the Phanios, or on those of Lake Eric or the Mississippi. ft-Flour is selling in Cincinnati at per barrel.

Died, at Conow ingo, Cecil county, Maryland, on the 2 ith of March last, after an illness of oil hours, of pleurisy, JOSEPH GLENN, brother of the editor of this paper, in the 33 J year of his age. Bat a few davs previous to his death, he followed to the grave his only child, and has left he- i hind him, a young widow, far db tant from j her relatives, who is thus thrown alone upon a cold an ! unfeeling world. The deceased was born in York county. Pennsylvania, an ! was a carpenter and joiner by profession. When the family emigrated to the West some 12 years ago, he came with them, but his native hills had more ailractla-s l..r him than the Western country, and ho never could be persuaded to lake up his residence amongst us. lie was possessed of a remarkably quiet disposition ; r.n.l nvvlcst and unassuming in his mr. nner.--, ho live 1 respected 1 .m, ..'-.,. ,. ..51 !. , I.-- 1,,.,, (tjThe Editor having to be ncccssari-j ly absent lour days of this week, will ae-i count, fir too harried manner in which the ! present mnibor h :s been put together. j i,z r.v t i: : .'. st c;ov;:::oi:.

The citie.ens of Cincinnati were thrown into a state of excitement on Tuesday last, by thc developement of a ce.se of the most brutal an ! unparalleled outrage which lias yet occurred in that c uumunity. The particulars, as near as wo could as crte.in them, are as follows: A Miss Ai.i.r.N, a young woman of unexceptionable character, and a member of the Presbyterian cli nch, while on her way home from Sing ing Siliool, after night, was met in the street and told that her brother was at thc point of death, and that she must immediately go and fcc him. Tho young ladv consented reluctantly, to go, and in a short time found herself forced into a dark room where she was kept four teen days! when she made her escape. The fiends in human shape, di.l not suec.oeu in accomplishing their hellish designs, but the voting woman's arms were much bruised, and other parts of her body greatly lacerate:', and she is now a perfect nrmlae! Four individuals w ere arrested on Tuesday. Their names eie two Levi's who keep a store on Main Sireot, one named Lazarus, and another M rplsate, all Jews, and taken to the Court House for trial. We could not ascertain what the result was, so high was thc excitement, but about. 5 o'clock, thc four were taken to jail; and at an early hour an immense crowd assembled in the neighborhood of the building, with the determination, no doubt, of taking thc Jews out, and inflicting summary chas tisement upon them. B it a company of the city Volunteers "armed an I cquiped," made their appearance there; and in a short time the multitude moved down Main Street, and when arrived near Levi's store, between 3d and Ith Streets, they were addressed by Gen. R. T. Lvtlt:, in a strain of pealing eloquence which had a good effect, as the. design evidently was to attack Levis' Store. Soon after this, 1 he people begin to disperse; but thc military still paraded the streets, ready to prevent any i n! a w fid p roc ceilings. No puni-'nine nl .which law can inflict, would be adequate to this unparalleled outrage; yet tor thc credit ol Lmeumati, wc hope the law will be permitted to take its course. We shall probably bo able next week, to give some further particulars. SCOTT CO CX TV. The citizens of Scott county arc to hold a meeting Ihis day, at New-Lexington, "to take into consideration and discuss thc present system of internal iuprovemcnt. taxation, &-c." Tims the good work nrogrosses; and may it result in relieveing the People of our Slate from tho odious and unjust, taxation which tho present system will bring upon them. Orj-Thc Indiana Journal asks: "What would tho people of Indiana think if w c were to inform them that, then; is a class of politicians here, of whom iho Indiana Ueinoerai is ine organ, who would rejoice to see thc state of Indiana lose flic money which has been, borrowed for internal im-

A change has taken pie.ee, the sand bank lias been levelled, a city laid off; lots sold and buildings erected and fortunes made.

A resident of an eastern city wou.u look upon tins aovcrui-cmcnt as a hoax, or one w ho was born and brought up in an eastern village, which to him has made no visible improvement in his rccolic tion, this advertisement would appear stiil more strange.

No one of the Cabinet officers has been subject to as much abuse from the opposition, as Amos Kendall, our present enterprising Postmaster General; and yet this Department never was in so flourishing a condition as at present. Notwithstanding thc department was largely in debt w hen he took charge of it, it. is estimated that there will be at the end of the present month, a surplus of about $700,000 cash m bank. This fact speaks volumes for Mr. Kendall's abilities as a financier, and is a proud triumph over his malignant calumniators.
