Wo move that Jack Frost shall not bo hinuj upon the tender boughs, hereafter, and that some other mode for his execution bo proscribed.

%£T Tho Washington Daily Sentinel has suspended publication. It was one of the bitterest pro-slavery papers in the Union.
FAMINE IN ALABAMA.—The people of Randolph County, Alabama, through a committee, have addressed a letter to Gov. Winston asking for assistance, and representing that many of them are actually suffering from a want of food, the result of three years of drought. They say they want something to cat, and want it now. Gov. Winston has no power to do anything for their relief, and submits their statements to the genorosity of the public.
LAND WARRANTS UNDER TIIE ACT OF 1855.—The Washington Star says, the Pension Bureau commencod, on tho 5th, issuing land warrants under the law of the last session, sending out about 1,000 on that day—mostly 120 and 80 aero warrants and then, for some timo to come, about 200 per day, until the clerical forco ongaged on that branch of tho bureau's business can bo increased. There aro now on file in all, perhaps, 160,000 applications for land under the law of 1855.

WEDNESDAY EVE, JUNE 0, 185S.
JEST Wo still havo rainy weather, and it is feared, by some of our farmers, that it will produce rust in the wheat. Up to this time, however, the crops never looked better.
The army worm is destroying vegetation, in many places, in Virginia and Illinois. Wo have always noticed that these worms aro troublesome only in wet seasons—a few days of warm sunshine generally puts a stop to their depredations.
Business of all kinds appear to
bo reviving—many houses are driving a good business, notwithstanding the A pressure in the money market. Wo attribute this,principally,to the withdrawal, from circulation, of all tho depreciated paper that has flooded our county for tho past few months.
i^-We see by our exchanges that the frost on Saturday and Sunday night last, almost destroyed vegetation around Madison, Indianapolis and Evansville.
JB3- D. F. Grooms and J. II. Saunders, saddlers and harness-makers, of Richmond, Va., got into a difficulty, which resulted in tho former shooting the latter.

Birch Creek War, and the Modern Cineinnatus. ^Gerdlemen :—I see by your paper of yesterday, that another attack has been made, on the Birch Creek Reservoir by a large party of disguised ruffians, who seem- to utterly disregard, the proclamation of Governor Wright. Now, all law-abiding citizens are desirous that the scoundrels should not go unwhipt of justice, and there aro several persons in this city who would, if called upon, vindicate tho outraged law at the peril of their lives.
It is well known to all that a Militia law has been passed in this State, and now is the time wo need its proffered aid. The law has been in existence for nearly two years, and yet to my certain knowledge, there has not been a training or muster in this part of tho Stato, consequently it remains a dead letter on tho statute books of Indiana. Thon, I ask, in tho name of common sense and reason, will it remain so when a band of villians are setting justice at defiance No, no. The Governor will certainly order a military guard to the scene of action, and this, in my opinion, is the only mode of proceeding in the present exigency, and I know there'aro other persons of tho snmo mind. •There is, living near this city, a certain puissant and doughty Colonel, who has waited long and impatiently for an opportunity to signalize himself by 'feat of arms,' and he ought to be sent to lead his gallant followers to the Reservoir, wlicro they could display their valor by 'fleshing their maiden swords.' The Colonel, I well know, will not shriuk from duty—he will lead his regiment to Birch Creek, and there "ffSek reputation at the cannon's mouth."— When tho gallant band have achieved the victory, led on by their brave commander, it is hoped the dispatch will bo as satisfactory as Julius Ctesar's, "Vent, Vidi, Vici." And the Colonel, when ho returns from tho "field of Mars," I know thateijike Dentatus, the Roman General, all his scars will be in lront—provided he gets any.
Again, if tho Colonel succeeded, which is more than likely, he \)"ould return, crowned with 'victorious wreaths,' and the acclammations of an applauding people would dub him the Xapolcon of Birch Creek
I would not have written this article if I did not wish to hear Coloftel C.'s views on the above subject but knowing the Colonel to [be modest and bashful—bravo men are always so—I therefore take the liberty to "call himeout," and hope that he will explain his views on the war, through the columns of the city press.
Gentlemen, in conclusion, I have to say, that I will accompany the military, in case there should bo a war, and I shall correspond with you regularly.— "iou will have the latest intelligence from the seat of the Birch Creek War, certain 1 RODERICK RANDOM.
TERRE-HAUTE, Juno 6, 1855".
From Boston. BOSTON, June 4.
The Portland papers givo additional particulars in regard to tho attack on tho building. The mob consisted chiefly ofboys.
Tho Mayor appeared on tho ground flourishing a sword, with two military companies, who he had ordered out. Tho appearance of tho Mayor exasperated the crowd, and they wore received with groans and hisses. The Mayor ordered the infantry to fire, which the Captain refused to do, saying circumstances did not justify such measures.
Rifle Guard soon afterwards approached, when, tho mob having burst open tho doors of the liquor rooms, one section of a company, by order of tho Mayor, fire^. Ono person killed, and six or seven wounded.—A public meeting was held this morning, tho citizens appealed for an investigation.
Tho number of bounty land ap
plications now reaches one hundred and fifty thousand nine hundred.:

When last I wrote I announced the fact that tho United States bad ceded to Canada the greater part of their spaco, and I much regret to have to state now that there has sprung up a difficulty not before contemplated in relation to this maiter. I may say that, by the written consent of tho United States, England and France, Canada was to have all the space not wanted by the United States of that portion accorded to them. But by some way, dodge or other, an English firm got possession of tho front portion of the space sllotod to us. This tho United States, on our bohalf, refused to accede to, and the matter is refered to England. She refers us to France.
I ho affair thickens, and a rupture is threatened, as the United States insist on our getting tho front. Appeal is then made to tho Canadian Commissioners to bcttlo thd affair and prevent further difficulty* This they will be wiliing to do provided we get an equivalent in area, and furthermore the privilege of keeping together all our products in ono compartment At present tho arrangements of tho Exhibition is that ail articles shall bo classified and each classification kept by itself, .l^ut I would rather havo all our article^ togethor, as by that means we shall make tho best show.
I enclose ono letter from the United States Commission to Mr. Cole, which will explain itself:—
Sir: I am instructed by my Colleagues to inform you that tho space desired by you for the Messrs. Elkitigton having been assigned by the United States to Canada, it must be occupied exclusively by their products, or else returned to the United States. I re«ret extremely that it is.out of-our power to comply with your request, and I am, Sir,
Very respectfully, your obedient servant. MAUNSELL B. FIELD.
WHAT TEE POPE SAYS.
Archbishop, Kendrick of Baltimore, in a late pastorel letter, or something of that nature, took occasion to declare that the Roman Catholic Church did not aim at temporal pov,-ojr in tin or any other country. Mr. Chandler, also, while in Congress made a lengthy speech, very indefinite and Jesuitical, upholding the same doctrine.
But, the highest known power of tho Catholic Church on earth, holds a very different opinion. He claims, demands and exercises temporal authority. He has claimed and exercised it for a thousand years and despite all tho fallacies and round-about arguments of the Chandlers and Kendricks of America, still, in tho most explicit manner, declares that spiritual and temporal authority aro banded together.
In his Ecclesiastic Letter, dated Gaeta, 1849, the present Pope, Pius IX, declared: "The spiritual power could not be separated, nor do without the temporal dominion, it being necessary to keep them united in order to maintain the splendor and grandeur of the Catholic Church."
Messrs. Chandler and Kendrick had better ponder upon the above paragraph a short time, and endeavor to find out its spirit and meaning, for cither they or the Pope are deluded and mistaken. However, the "infallibility" of Pius sets tho matter at rest. The Catholic Church does claim tempoarl dominion, and llis Holiness expressly proclaims it.— Cin. Times.
RUSSIAN LOSSES.—Tho Marquis of Lansdown stated in the House of Lords during a recent debate, that he knew from autheutic ssurees, that just previous to the death of the Emperor Nicholas the official report of the Russian losses since the war began, showed the war began, showed the loss of one hundred and seventy thousand men and that since that report was made, tho Russians had lost seventy thousand more, making a total of two hundred and forty thousand.

An examination of the damaged engine show the explosion to havo been caused by allowing the water to get so low that the boiler became heated while standing upon the sideling, and the ongineei turningon the water too freely as he started out again, causing the explosion as it came into contact with the heated iron. The body of the engineer was taken in charge by the officers of the road to await the orders of his relatives and friends.
