$} TERRE"HAUTE. INP. & FRIDAY, [SEPT. 7, 1856

MONETARY.—Our readers will bear us testimony that we have not bored them through our columns—with duns. Hitherto there has been no necessity, even had we the disposition

fto

do so.

But now it would accommodate us greatly, if those in arrears for subscription, advertising and job work, would square up. We need money and We need it soon. The promptness of our patrons in times past gives us an earnest of what we may hope for in the future.

We work hard, to give you a good interesting and cheap paper, and deserve our pay, and know we will get it.

"That beautiful picture of a black flag, surmounting a dark

Laur-

s.-.v-lantern."—News

Thus St. Ambrose, of the News Letter, alludes to the glorious stripes and stars at our Mast Head, and of the emblem of our Country, floating beneath. We have no doubt, but that in his eyes the American flag appears black, and our Country a* dark spot of earth.

The "Shamrock" or 'Tri-color' would be more congenial with his feelings. Bat these stripes and stars, which every true hearted American hails with joy, even when painted with Printers ink—-is an eye

Bore

to this full breasted

prototype of Louis Napoleon—this emulator of Sinbad, Monchauson and the Louisville Courier. Perhaps across between a cabbage head and a thistle, would constitute his bean ideal of an ensign. He has the cabbage, let him now seek the Thistle. *,.

PROSCRIPTION.—We heard this morning of a beautiful specimen of Old Line Liberty, which is worthy of remembrance by that delectable party, when they talk about mid niyht assassins, dark lantern conspirators and\ Religious procriptiomsts. It appears that a preacher in one of the counties South of this had been egged by the Sag Mchts, because he would not debar Know Nothings, from the communion of the ohurch. Think of this Americans, and professors of Religion.

Another "Old Liner Gone!" Hero is tho way a British Old Liner "dies for his country." His enemies were his strong friends to the last "sticking pint," and now he revels with his chums aocordlng to his own seleotion.

Wonder if the Old Liners in those quarters, can't drop a tear, over this patriot, notwithstanding be is a Britisher.

An English paper states that Capt. John B. Foster. B. N., died recently at Ohamberwell, England, "from the excessive use of ardent spirits," as the coroner's jury' deolared the deceased's allowanoe, daily, having been six quarts of porter and a quart of gin, brandy ana rum, besides sherry ana table beer. (1apt Foster's valet deposed that he left at his bedside every night a bottle of gin, a bottle of rum, a bottle of brandy, a bottle of sherry and a bottle of porter.

CORRECTION.—.The "Shooting" affair in yesterday's paper, should have

been credited to the Evansville Enquirer. The shootiug took place in that city.

WORCESTER, Mass., Sept. 5.

The Democratic State Convention of Massachusetts assembled here to-day, there being between 500 and 600 delegates present. E. D. Bench of Springfield was nominated for Governor, and Caleb Stetson of Rochester, for Lieut. Governor.

^VERMONT "ELECTION." W" MONTPELIER, Sept. Bayee Republican, is elected Governor by a handsome majority, also the whole Fusion ticket. The Know Nothing Republican party has carried the Legislative without a doubt. The contest has been spirited and the vote large.

FEVER IN VIRGINIA. BALTIMORE, Sept. 6. By the Norfolk boat this morning we have a report that sixty deaths occurred during the 24 hours ending at noon sterday. At Portsmouth fifteen new cases and nine deaths had taken place.

The doctors report more new cases at Norfolk than any previous day since the disease commenced.

The deaths occur so rapidly that coffins cannot be procured in many instan-

A private letter says the people are suffering for want of food, and provisions are not to bo had even by those having means to pay. Bread and crackers are wanted.

IMPORTANT BOU*TY LAND QUESTION DECIDED.—We understand that the Secretary of the Interior, to whom the question has been referred, has decided •-hat, in computing the fourteen days' military service necessary to entitle one to bounty land under the act of March 3d, 1855, travel oannot be estimated.

Many have applied for land under this act who could not make out the fourteen days' service requisite without the time spent in travel. To such, lands cannot bo accorded under the act of March 3, 1855.

BURLINGTON, Sept. 4, 8 P. M.—The jury held two sessions to-day, but up to adjournment had not been able to agree upon a verdict.—They are again in session this evening, but from present appearanoes their deliberations will continue until a late heur. The general opinion is that the verdict will expate the Company.

One body is still lying here unrecognized.

B3T It is stated in the Brussels journals that the intention of the English Government to raise an Italian Legion has caused a painful sensation at Vienna.

D" There is more Sarsaparillacontained id one bottle of Hurley's, than in six of any other man's We are aware'of, and which, wherever introduced, becomes one of the necessaries of life, and we can state from experience, it is the purest, best, snd most efficacious. In our sister city, Louisville, it has attained great celebrity, and here it is in equal favor. It is perfectly free from all dangerous and Injurious ingredients Is made undei the special superintendence of an able chemist, and composed of auch pure jnedical compounds as cannot fail to make it. in all cases, sure and powerful. We recommend those who require genuine Sarsaparilla to purchase Hurley's, and they will be much obliged for the advice.—Cincinnati Sun.
