TERRE-HAUTE.

MONDAY MORNING, MARCH 15, 1858

The Perpetuity offcthe Republic. A Republican form of Government from the fact of the repeated fail are* of all attempts to establish it permanently, previous to the existence of the United States, has been regarded as an experiment, fraught with many 'difficulties and pregnant with the most serious danger.

Anarchy and civil contention within their own limits, have invariably shorn Republics of their strength and rendered them an easy prey to the ambition of foreign nations.

Occupying, as we do, a separate continent where we are by far the strongest power, the establishment of a government by any foreign nation upon the ruins of our Republic is scarcely a possible event, and the subjugation of the country not to be feared—and'yet, as the absence of all government, or anarchy is the worst tyranny that a people can endure, the results which would follow a disruption of onr present Republic, would be of the most frightfnl and appaling nature—our destiny not to be predicted or foreseen.

Ever since our existence as a nation, the perpetuity of oni government, based as it is, upon popular sovereignty, has been a subject of much solicitude and doubt among our best and truest patriot*, and at this time tho impression that the experiment will prove a failure it gaining ground.

Tho frequency of onr elections, the continual political agitation that pervades our country and the violence of party strife, have at all times been calculated to create this fear, and the late commotions in Kansas, the actual civil war which has so long existed in the territory, and the sectional and antagonistic positions assumed by the different portions of tho Union, combined with tho breaking up of the political Union parties, which

so long

diffored alone

upon questions affecting^the policy of the nation, and always united for its strength, safety, and defensive or offensive ability and force, may well cause tho reflecting man to ponder, and the patriot to fear at tho result of the devolopements which .are daily made in tho progress of tho nation

One fact is at least incontestible, tho love of country, tho affestion for and confidence in our Institutions are daily becoming weaker, the decisions of our highest Judicial authority are scoutod at and upbraidod with contempt, and tho question of Union made secondary to other considerations. Our government Is daily becoming weaker, and more depraved, while tho tone of tho public morals is much lower than it a few years since. The foreign element of our population is radical in its views, and debased in tho scale of civilisation and 'morality.

The truth is that passion is gaining the asoendy over reason, brute force predominant to law, and Liberty, misunderstood and unappreciated is fast running into Robespearrian Republicanism which under the guise of freedom, raised the axe of violence and persecution.

It it indeed to be feared, that the time Will come, when we will be forced to exclaim with Madame Roland, "Oh Liberty, how many evils are committed in thy .name t*-

Let us guard against such a time, by eschewing all sectionalism and cherishing the Union as the only means of maintainng a perpetuity of the Republic.

BANKRUPT MUSINGS.

BT ROBERT P. HAHILTOK.

Sinking the Shaft: Or, Maahood.

III.

Absence has now taught us the value, the charms, the sweetness of a home—we have realized the strength and intensity of a mother's love—the holy purity of a sister's affection—the diamond value of a father's counsel.

Our entire life and strength are now centered in onr youthful love, for Lucy has become the idol of our worship—the magnet of our passions, the theme of all our thoughts—the main object and consideration of our plans and movements. Our intercourse with her assumes an earnest nature—it is characterized by a spirit of manly protection, mingled with sentiments of devoted tenderness—our hopes are shadowed by solicitude—our buoyant step is slackened by careful thought—for we are about to assume a burthen which while it adds tenfold to our happiness, must also increase our responsibilities in a comparative degree. And yet *e are realty happy, for we have an object for onr exertions, an aim for our efforts, a partner and companion in our thoughts.

IIo'v sweet and sacred are our private meetings. The hopes of years are now about to be realized—their wishes all fulfilled—our doubts and fears to be dissipated forever.

The lonely watching", the interminable longings, the heart-piercing solicitudes of the past are over—and the affections, chastened by freqnent disappoinments, purifiod*by many trials—tested and strengthened by time and battling with temptations, gush forth in streams of sparkling brilliancy, of limpid sweetness and unfathomable dep th. Hours are contracted into moments—evenings unconsciously prolonged into the midnight as we commune in sacred confidence—recount our past experience, and paint our golden future.

Life has assumed a deeper import—the fiood-gates arc removed, and tho pent up currents of affection hourly increasing in their violence, flow together side by side, mutually imparting and imbibing strength. Love is the fountain of existence, puro love is life's ^elixir.

Our pleasures htve also become more real and tangible—our enjoyments more satisfactory and substantial. The realities of joy have taken tho place of its anticipations, our happiness has become full and more complete—we have a homo for our inner love, a wife to cheer us with her smiles, to console us with hor affection— and more than all wo havo a child to bless us—a tendril which has entwined itself around onr heart—which looks to ns for approbation and support, and we feel that it is our own—a priceless, inestimable treasure.

With what interest we noto its dawning inteilect—with what care we watch its struggling movements—with what joy wo listen to its prattling voice. We have a standing and position in tho world for our individual satisfaction—we possess the esteem and approbation of our fellow-men— we occupy a sphere of usefulness—we reap the rewards of industry and merit.— The blossoms have ripened into fruit. The Qenii of prosperity strew flowers in onr way.

Humah life is, however, full of contradictions, and man's career a chequered one. Our movements are uncertain—our happiness constantly clouded and

fait We find our responsibilities increase upon our heads, and ascertain that wealth js but the privilege of few—a livelihood the inheritance of the many.

We move more qnietly and calmly—wo think before we act—we learn to measure enr words—to suspicion as well as to eonfido, for the hollowness ef friendship has at length become apparent. We digest our plans more fully and consider all the prospects as well as the conscquences of our operations. We now trust to accomplish in years what we formerly looked forward to as the achievement of a seasoh. Our aspirations have become more modest than they were, and our anticipations far leas numerous. A competency would gratify the ambition which formerly panted for a fortune. We have learned that the laurels of &UM are wreathed upon few brows—and that they are attained at the expense of much sacrifioo—the rtviult of great exertions.

Onr minds have become matured and our habits fixed and regular—our reason

ing is deeper—our views far more extended. Manhood has added intensity to the passions of our youth, while it has dissipated the fickleness and elasticity of our nature. Wo do not lose our anger in an hour or forget our sorrows in a day. Every pang we feel—every reverse we sustain—every blow wc receive leaves its impression on our countcnance—its scar upon our heart.

CIVIL WAR RAGIXG.

Downfall of Lnzoaga Inevitable.

The Country in a Bad Condition.

NEW ORLEANS, March 11.

The steamship Tennessee, with Vera Cruz dates to the 7th, and the City of Mexico to the 5th inst., has arrived here.

The papers are filled with details of civil war in the States of Guerreo, Michaocan, Qticretora and Guanajuato, which display the strongest disaffection to the new Government.

Dobhdo, Parodi and Arteagn are fortified at Chelala, in the State of Guanajuato with six thousand men and twenty-seven pieces of artillery.

The Government forces were near Chelala, awaiting reinforcements, when it was supposed an action would take place.

Robbery after robbery was reported throughout the country. It was reported that Alvarez was in the field with three thousand cavalry against the new Government.

The downfall of Zuloaga was considered certain, and it was rumored that a new government had already been pronounced for at Guadalajara.

Garza has possession of Tampico, and is in the federal interest. The whole country is in a lamentable condition.

Terrible Steamboat Accident— Burning of the Steamer Eliza Battle— Forty Lives and Twelve Hundred Bales of Cotton Lost.

[From the Mobile Advertiser of 3d.] Wc received in'elligencc yesterday of a terrible calamity on the Big Lee river—the destruction by fire of tho steamer Eliza Battle—and, what is worse, a frightful loss of life.

It appears that tho disaster occurred about two o'clock, on Monday morning, about a half or three quarters of a mile above Kemp's Landing, when the Battle, with some fifty or sixty passengers anl 1200 or 1800 bales cotton on board, took fire and was completely consumed.

As far as ascertained, 33 lives were lost, consisting of the crew and passengers, (about one-half each) and all the cotton, except some 15 or 20 bales.

The fire had its origin among tho cotton bales on tho after deck under the cabin, and although the flames made but little progress at first, a strong North wind (al

She was, however, driven among the trees, where she lodged until the engines ceased to work, (the intensity of the heat driving the engineers from their posts,) when tho passengers were enabled to effect an escape by hanging to tlie limbs and branches of trees and upon bales of cotton thrown overboard.

After the wheels stopped, the boat swayed around and

driven across the

river by force of the wind. This fortun ate circumstance probably saved tho lives of many of the survivors, as they must otherwise have perished in the flames.

The following is a list of those ascer tained to be lost: Mrs. B. Cromwell and child, frozen, Sumpter 00c nty.

Mrs. H. G. Turner and child, frozen, Washington county. W. T. Smith, frozen, Greene connty.

Mr. Caradine, frozen, Chickasaw coonty. Mr. Willis, frozen, do

Angnstns Jones, frozen, Columbus, Mississippi. Mr. Martin, frozen, Kentucky.

John Powell, barkeeper, frozen. Dr. 8. W. Clanton, frozen, Warsaw, Alabama.

A yonng man, name unknown, frozen, Fairfield, Ala. White boy, (third cook,) name unknown.

Rev. Mr. Newman, frozen, Louisville, Ky. M. A. Galloway, never seen, Gainesville, Ala.

Three white deck hands, never seen, Thirteen negroes, hands on the boat. P. Kirkland, died on .shore, Greene county, Ala. \r,

Mm. Cromwell and her child died from the cold, in her husband's anna, in a tree. Dr. S. H. Jones, never seen, Greene oounty, Ala.

One child of Mr. Cromwell was saved by Frank Stone, the second clerk of the boat, who swam ashore with It. He then placed Mi#s Turner on a cotton bale and safely landed her on shore. She said to him, "You have saved my life do «avo my mother and sister." He then swam off and reacued her sister, who afterwards froze to death in his arms. Her mother froze to death on a tree, which was the (ate of almost al) who perished.

The assistant pilot, Mr. D. Hartley, saved Miss Robinson. She threw water on him while he was paddling her ashore on a cotton bale.

An infant of two months old was saved in a remarkable wanner. When discovered by Captain Stone, it had only its night clothes on and was blue with cold. A blanket coat soaked with water was at hand, which the Captain laid upon a burning cotton bale and then wrapped the babe in the steaming covering. It is now "alive and chirping."

O* The greatest natural ornament to the "heman form divine," is unquestionably a fine, luxuriant, healthy growth of hair. It has been so esteemed in all ages of the world, and among all nations, savage and civilized. Hence, the Indian brave regards the scalp of his enemy as his greatest trophy. For a similar reason, the fashionable belle often disguises the region of vanity, as well as her other phrenol lgical organs with some borrowed locks.

He who should discover a mode of preventing the hair from showing the inroads of envious Time by turning prematurely gray, a method by which it could be restored when falling off or turning white, and a way of promoting its continued and luxuriant growth, would be justly entitled to rank among the benefactors of the human race.
