TERRE-HAUTE.
TUESDAY MORNING, MARCH IS, 1868
Sharp Practice.
It wcnderfal how ugtcioni some men get to be, when tbej hare an object to accomplub! The editor of the Express is one of those smart politicians, whose shrewdness will be the death of him some day. Witness the following from his paper of Saturday:
If the Douglas wing is really in earnest, if they intend to show their strength and thereby enconrage their great leader while he is being snnbbed in the Senate, and read ont of the administration party in many places, \ehy do thty not make a ticket, and poll their full number of toUst— Why? Because the leaders never intended to do it, bnt on the contrary, from the very first, resolved to vote the administration ticket, and thereby make the Locompton sentiment triumphant hi Indiana."
The disinterestedness of this advice should induce Col. Cookerly to pause in his promise to hupport Judge PKKKIHS and others, for he must see that the Express has hit upon the only plan to show his "earnestness" as an anti-Lecompton Democrat.— If they would "make a new ticket, and poll their full nnmber of votes," it would probably elect the ticket which the Committee of the Republican Convention dictated to the late Fremont party, and thereby gratify the managers of that changed and changeable concern, and especially the far-seeing editor of the Express. IIow can the "Douglas wing" refuse to gratify the men who mobbed the "Little Giant," burned him in efBgy, set the 3,000 clergymen on him, and did other nice indignities too numerous to mention? It would be a shame to disappoint so much sagacity, benevolence and kind-hearted solicitude for the welfare of the "Douglas wing." Great is humbug!
t&~ Many easy gentlemen without visible means of support are prowling through our city day and night, whose physiognomy is a pretty good index to their depth of thought and also their empty pockets.— One, in particular, who was "dressed to kill" last fall, but now he appears rather dilapidated, and suits the following poetical description, which we borrow from an exchange for his especial benefit:
We saw him after that, Be had a idnkcj hat On his bead. His pomps wore worn sway And his pockets seemed to say "Nary red."
Con&rc—lonal.—The Senate was engaged on the Kansas question up to the adjournment on Saturday. We are sick and tired of this matter, and hope how soon this ranting subjoct may be dispensed with. Nothing of importance has been transacted within the past week.
HW The Governor of Texas has communieatod to the Legislature ot that State a special Kansas Message, in which ho recommends the adoption of resolutions to the effect that if Kansas is not admitted under the Lecompton Constitution, Texas will go out of the Union.
Mf The following paragraph is from an article on the Lecompton Constitntion, recently published in the Washington Union:
We don't care whether the people like or dislike the ConttiMkm. We are unwilling to take any more testimony. The caie has been closed, the judgment entered up, and the execution it new in At hands 0/ tie aficejrt." .'
t3T There is now in course of construction at Wilmington, Delaware*** large iron steamer, intended to run between New Orleans and Texas. She is owned by Commodore Vandorbilt, and it is said •he will be one of the strongest and best boats ever constructed. ,,

THAT MAT LKAD TO
TROCBUK
-—Information has been received from As* pinwall by the Moses Taylor, that the commanders of her Britanic Majesty's vessels of war on the West India Station hate received orders from the British Gov cm men to capture and treat as pirates, Gen. Walker, and all or any other filibuster*, wherever they may find them.
This, it is said, they would have fane before, bat they were afraid of creating an U1 feeling and much jealousy in the United States against the British Government,— Now tbey have no fear of any such coneeqoenoet, aod are only praying to have an opportunity of emulating tbo conduct of Commodore Paulding.
BANKRUPT MUSINGS.

ffiaJitBf Ike shaft: Or, Manhood.
nr.
Manhood is the scene of action and exertion, for life is never passive in its nature. We exist in the living^prcacnt and are daily progressing in our movement*, either for good or evil, prosperity or adversity, benefit or injury. It is true that the stream is subject to its ebb and flow, that the current of life is continually fluctuating—altering the banks and changing the channels, but its course is always onward to the ocean of eternity. The consequences of the past influence the present, and are entailed upon the future. Early dissipation has shattered our constitntion and affected our health. A misspent youth is but the forerunner of an unprofitable manhood and a sorrowful old age, for as we sow so must we inevitably reap. The man who gives a loose and unchecked rein to the passions of his nature as a youth, finds himself the slave of those passions in his riper years—whilst the roue of twenty bccomcs the blasse of thirty, the imbecile of fifty. The accidents of fortune now exert but a slight and temporary influence upon our characters and feelings— they may serve to dam up tho current for a time, but it soon gains a volume and impetuosity which overflows the unnatural barriers, and sweeps them away before it. It were as easy to alter the direction of a thrifty limb in a single month as to change the human character and course at will, and the work of reformation during manhood requires constant^watchfulness, great self denial and an immense struggle, for we aro obliged to wrestle both with confirmed habits and a corrupt nature. To do so we must bind ourselves in bands of adamant, and battle with our passions.— We must maintain a fixed pnrpose, indomitable perseverance and determined resolution—the sapling yields to a slight pressure, the bough requires strong ligatures and continued force our youth is pliant and plastic—our manhood resisting and oppugnant in its nature.
Like the miner, we seek for valuable treasure—we put forth all our energies and maintain a consistent and continned struggle for its attainment—we adapt our movements to the varying circumstances, wo bend and turn and stoop and creep according to expediency or necessity, we face the boldest obstacles and exurt our utmost strength. Baffled by disappointment, overwhelmed by misfortune, prostrated by sickncss, defeated by opponents, we rise again to renew our undertaking?, aided by tho experience, guarded by tho acquired caution of tho past—our necessities are more prominent, our time more valuable, and our determination more resolute than ever.
A dogged perseverance has supplanted our youthful zeal*—an eager cupidity and resolute ambition furnish a life spring to our energies, impart vigor to our frame, wo do not waste our strength in a few violent blows or tremendous efforts, but appreciating its value, husband and apply it with science and effect, maintaining systematic and continuous labor for certain and defined results and ends. We work directly from causes to effects, and if we fail it is either because we do not possess the necessary power, have mad a some fatal errors in calculation, or experienced a blow which we conld neither anticipate or control. Perhaps the noisome fire damp has arisen in a moment perhaps the hidden stream has escaped from its secret bed perhaps an explosion of the mingled elements has rent the bonas of earth itself asunder, and produced a general desolation —for it is man who proposes, God that disposes—there is a divinity that shapes onr ends, compared to whose power man's strength is very weakness, in the face of whose all-seeing Providence, human wisdom pales into insignificance.
It stated that Mr. Hector Jen
nings, of Sandusky, Ohio, will succeed in establishing his claim to the great "Jcnning's Estate." the income from which is 950,000 per annum.
jar The whole State of Indiana appear* to be infested with counterfeiters. The Indianapolis and Lafayette papers notice numerous arrests, and among them a woman.
JSP Considerable excitement has been occasioned in Dunn county, Wisconsin, by the discovery of gold. The precious metal is supposed to exist in abnndaaoe.
M3T The first newspaper printed in Virginia was in 1780, and the subscription price was $cG per annnm.
Interesting from Utah.
ST. LOUIS, March 12.
The Council Bluff [sic] Bugle of the 3d inst., says that Mr. Wingate, who has just arrived from Salt Lake, which place he loft on the 25th of January, roports no snow in Salt Lake Valley, and but very little in the mountains.
Ho came by a route known only to the Mormon Mountaineers, by which horsemen in a single file can pass an army undiscovered.
This route passes between perpendicular rocks for thirteen miles, and in many places the path is but three feet wide, and is completely covered with a rock roof.
The Mormons are manufacturing small cannon with percusion [sic]locks and telesco-
Kallsights,
ic sightw, which will carry a two pound ball with much more certainty than the common rifle at one hundred and twenty yards. They are also making five hundred revolvers per week and manufacturing coarse powder for mining purposes.
A skirmish between the Mormons and a picket guard of the army had taken place in which two of the former had boon killed, and four of the latter were reportod as killed.
Brigham Young was willing that the civil officers should come to the Territory, and enter upon their duties, but if the army attempts to enter the valley, it will be resisted.
On the 24th of January, Brigham Young preached to nine thousand people, all of whom arose when Young requested those who were in favor of giving the troops "hell" to rise. -----
Minnesota Legislation. T^he Five Million Loan Bill passed the Senate, on the^rd, by a vote of 24 to 7—at once demonstrating the eagerness of the speculators who seem to have control of the Legislature, and the exceeding verdancy of the Legislators themselves in supposing that their loan will ever be taken. The whole affair will be looked upon as a piece of boy's play, wore it not'for the strong dash of rascality that gives it a flavor.
The House, on the same day, passed a Banking bill ofa most objectionable character, by a vote of 55 to 6. That Legisla ture ought now to dissolve at once. [Chicago Trib., Mar. 11.
EFFECT OF THE PALMERSTON DEFEAT IN FRANCE.—The result of the division on the Conspiracy to Murder bill has produced a great sensation ati.ong all classes of people here, 'lhe Ministerial organs evidently did not expect such a result, and are much taken aback. Their language has lost something of its vain-glorious style. In official quarters no trifling bewilderment is apparent, and even people who arc not over-friendly towards England admit that matters have been carried too far with her. There is a pretty general feeling that a series of unfortunate blunders has been committed. It is difficult for ordinary men to explain, unless OH suppositions of the strangest kind, mistakes which a novice in government could hardly have committed—M. do Morny's address, the military addresses, and, what is as great a blunder as cither, M. Walewski's famous dispatch. Some regret the fall of Lord Palmerston, but nearly all concur in condemning tho causes which led to it. Few can recall without indignation the langnago of the Colonels, or without shame the statement of a French Minister, that in England the doctrine of assassination is openly preached.
J3T The following table will be read with interest by the curious in such matters:
Man grows for 20 yoafs, and lives 90. Horse do 5 do do 25. Ox do 4 do do 20.' Cat do do' do 10. Dog do 2 do do 12. Lion do 4 do do 20. Camel do 8 do do 20.
WHAT is TO BECOME OF MEXICO ?—The London Times says, 'there is not a Statesman who would wish to see Great Britain hamper herself with an inch of Mexican ground. Let the United States, when they are finally prepared for it, enjoy all the advantages and responsibility of ownership, and our merchants at Liverpool and elsewhere will be quite content with the trade that may spring out of it. The capacity of the Mexican population for appreciating a constitutional rule is not so remarkable that we should volunteer to administer it."
Jty The Dunleith Advertiser says an engineer on the Illinois Central Ilailroad, named Smith, in looking over the papers belonging to his wife, recently, discovered that she is the lawfnl heir to the property in the city of Yincennes, Ind., amounting to upwards of 8100,000. Not bad to take for a poor man.
——>A brutal Irishman, named Mullony, has been arrested at Springfield, Ills., for roasting his child on a hot stove. The child, which was only one year old, had been otherwise horribly abused, and its body was covered with stripes. ———————
A notice from the British foreign
office says that no person is henceforth to be permitted to land in France without a passport.
£3T Mr. 8. H. Gay, for the last fourteen years editor of the National Anti-SU-Tery Standard, has left that paper and is now associated with the New York Tribune.

Capital prizes of from $20,000 to 40,000 head their schemes—with tickets at one dollnr. $100,000 Cepital Prizes are offered, tickets $5. All 8u h, in every instance, are frauds and if money is sent to them for tickets, it is so much thrown away without the shadow of a chance of getting a prize. Beware of nil Lotteries where the capital prize is unusually large in comparison to tickets. In every instance where large prizes arc offered for a small cost of tickets, put it down as a certain fraud,

His patients, seas to red over the broad West, tbe Southern States and New England, are said to resell the enormous and almost incredible aggregate of 100,000! By his patients we mean those who use his preparations as their OXLV MKOICRVK?. Wc presume that such a connection is without a parallel in Medical history. See advertisement.
