TERRE-HAUTE, IND.

THURSDAY EVE, JUNE 7, 1855.

Hew Bounty Land Warrants—The ty Li First Arrival. y,D. S. Danaldson, Esq., Agent for procuring Land Warrants at this place, has shown us the first warrant arrived in Terre-Haute, under the act of March 3d, 1856, and a very pretty document it is. It is for 120 acres, No. 1612, issued to Simeon L. Hay ward, private New Jersey militia, war of 1812. It is signed by L. P. Waldo, Commissioner, with the seal of the Department of the Interior attached. ji«ii The principal vignette is Gen. Jackson, on horseback, at the battle of New Orleans, with the three officers mounted, and near him on his right. On his left is his "army with banners"—in front, cotton bales and cannon. In the distance is the smoke of battle. On the left hand end is a medallion head of the Hon. R. McClelland, Secretary of the Interior—on the right, a similar head of R. Brodhead, U. S. Senator from Pennsylvania. At the bottom is a small head of Washington.:

On either end^ at the top, are broad shields with thirteen stars, with a blue ground and the figures 120. The left corner below is a harvest scene, a mower resting by the side of his scythe, a man holding a pitcher, a mother and babe reclining. In the right corner is a little drummer hammering away, and old soldiers sitting by smoking, others looking on. "Bounty Land, 120 acres"®in large blue letters occupy the centre of the warrant.

The warrant is gotten up very handsomely, and we are only surprised that the form of transfer is not printed on the back, out of which has grown so much trouble and vexation.

We do not know why Mr. Brodhesd occupies a place on the warrant but the opportunity was a good one to make the people familiar with the faces of Gen. Pierce's cabinet, as well as his own. The bombarder of Greytown might hare been there too, and thus handed down to posterity.

The Dedication of the Hall of Colfax Lodge, No. 100, at Warren county, this State, will take placo on Thursday, the 14th inst. A large attendance is expected. W. K. Edwards, P. G.

Those wishing to go from this place, will find the packets Reindeer and Queen City, with their polite and accommodating Captains, Clark and Angell, at the Big Basin, on Tuesday and Wednesday evening, ready to go up to Attica. We will warrant thoso availing themselves of this opportunity to test the accommodations of those two packets, will not be disappointed or dissatisfied.

1"'^ j£3T The Commissioners 'of Pen•ions have decided that engineers, firemen and ooal-heavers are entitled to bounty lands, in cases where they were regularly employed at Sea.

[From the Cincinnati papers.] TEE FROK CAUFO] Arrival of the Daniel Webster.

NEW ORLEANS, May 30.

"The Steamer Daifiei"* Webster, with two weeks later advices from California lias arrived at this port.

The steamer Star of the West left A spin wall on the 24th ^lt., for New York, having on board two hundred passengers, and $800,000 in specie.

A large party was waiting at Greytown to join the Kinney expedition to Central America, and arere looking out for him and his party with intense anxiety.

As soon as the steamer arrived at San Francisco bringing the intelligence of the second failure of Pago fc Bacon, of St. Louis, considerable excitement ensued among the creditors of the San Francisco house, and tho effects of Page, Bacon fc Co., were immediately attache, and the bank closed. •... ?.

I The general news from California is not of special interest!. The mines continued to* yield well, but tho excitement growing out of the affairs of Page, Bacon & Co., had an unfavorable, influence upon money matters and business geperellyin San Fran-

The Know Nothing meeting last night, at the Stuyvesant Institute, make open declaration of American principles. The meeting was not large. The address and resolutions were similar to those adopted by tho Barker Know Nothings. An attempt was made to introduce the question of slavery, which caused some disturbance, but it signally failed. The meeting adjourned with three cheers for the first full-length view of "Sam," and groans for Seward and Greeley.

PHILADELPHIA, Juno 5.

The Know Nothing Convention assembled in this city to-day, at tho Assembly Builaings. The delegates number 210, representing every State and territory in the Union.

Mrs. E. Sanford, ofVigo county, Indiana, had the pleasure of presenting to her husband two boys and a girl at one birth,—:JEx.

Wo see tho above item of foreign news going the rounds in the papers— where it came from, or how such a thing got so far away from home, is a mystery. We have often heard it said, if a person wished to hear the news of the city, let him seek it in the country, and vice versa/ Vigo is a great county, but, whether tho above follows in consequence of her fertility, is hard to believe. Rather believe it has been gotten up through jealousy, by the Indianapolis or Madison folks, to check the imigration to Vigo. Never heard of but ono such case in tho last fifteen years, and that was at Lafayette, sinco which event, she has been going downhill. Come, dont get up such serious jokes, tlieso hard times.

VIRGINIA ELECTION.—Roturns from 122 counties give Wiso a majority of 8,674. The 21 counties to be hoard from will probably reduce this majority to 6,000 or 7,000.

JC3T Tho election of Directors for tho N. C. & D. R. Road, will take placo in Crawfordsvillo on tho 12th day of June.

ARRIVAL OF THE AFRICA|

JL JL HALIFAX, June 54 The steamer Africa, with advices from Liverpool, London and Paris, to Saturday, the 26th ult., arrived at this port at four o'clock this ifternoon.

The advices though interesting, are not of startling importance., Thfe Vienna Conference Will probably be again opened.

A secret expedition is preparing in the Crimea by the Allies. The general aspect of the affairs of the Allies before Sevastopol is unchanged, though there has been some hard fighting.

Gen. Pellisier contemplates an attack on the Russians in the field. The motion of a want of confidence in the English Ministers was not successful in the House of Commons.

The latest advices from the Crimea say an engagement took place before the Flagstaff battery, in which the French destroyed the Russian outworks:

The Conferences at Vienna, it was reported, would re-opeii on Monday the 28th ult.

Count Berol had an interview with Lord Westmoreland, at which Count Bowigoney suggested that tho members of tho Conference would again moot but the French and English ministers could not give a reply. It is understood that if they assent, Berol will again attempt to arrange the "third point."

The Berlin papers report the following as tho proposals made by Austria to settle the third point:

That Russia and Turkey settle between themselves the number of ships each shall keep in the Black Sea that England and Franco keep each two ships there, and that Turkey shall not conclude any treaty with Russia without first submitting it to France and England.

According to the Vienna papers, the first meeting of the members of the Conference was to be holden on the 2Gth, at which the Russian Plenipoteniary was not to be present the second meeting was to be held on Monday following, when the Russian Minister was to participate.

DEPRECIATION OF GOLD.—The United States Economist estimates the amount of gold furnished to the commercial world, during tho six years since tho new mines were discovered, at $400,000,000. Tho influence of these vast gold supplies is proved to be different from the anticipation of many financiers, who predicted a great immediate depreciation. The relative value .of gold to silver by the English law of 1816 was 1 to 14, 2875, and tho actual value has bcon as follows:

In 1851, 1 to 15 1399 in January, 1855, 1 to 15, 1499 in March, 1855, 1 to 15, 232G. It will be seen, that as compared with silver, gold has been constantly increasing in value. This anomaly is attributed to the great demand for silver during a period of war in Europe and China, where the silver standard is retained. Tho increased supply of gold has scarcely been sufficient to fill its place, and consequently that metal has not only retained its alue, but shows considerable appreciation. Tho Economist thinks that when the war is over, silver will find its way back, and gold will necessarily depreciate.

LOCUSTS.—We learn from what few papers we have been able to pick up from different sections of the country, that the locust, the scourge of the East, is making sad havoc and fearful ravages in many parts of the country, es!for pecially in some portions of Georgia, where they are destroying the crops, to an alarming extent, and making desert everything in their path. Mr. Pool informs us that the road leading from this place to the Levee, on the opposite side of the river was literally covered with them on Sunday last, the 20th inst their blighting effect is not yet perceptible. We find a few of them have taken up their abode iu our yard ^nd garden they appear harmless and inoffensive to look at, but let the past in the East tell their withering power, whole countries shorn of every vestigo of vegitation, and nations perished of 'dire famine.—God protect us.— True American, Arkansas.
