FOR PRESIDEITT IN 1352,

GENERAL JOSEPH LANE,

or I*DUJM.

Subject to tit deeitbn of a Denacnttic National Convent*

Something has heretofore been said in our pap«jr in regard to the advantage*, which would accrue to Terre-Haute, if the roads, leading in different directions fiooi the town, were improved by planking them, or otherwise. We now desire to call the attention of business men and others to the import anco of having good roads made from the river across the bottoms, to the bluffs, in the direction of St. Marys' and on a line with the National road. It is well known, to every one, that, often times during very important seasons of the year, the bottom* are rendered impassable by reason of high water, and that, at other times, when teams do go across it i» with the greatest difficulty ihey can escape tnireing in the mud. This ought not to bo so. tJvcry thing possible should be done by the uili&mi of our place, to make it easy of acccss, to persons over the river who have any inclination to come and do their trading here and our merchants who know ih#» value of the trade with the adjoining counties of Illinois, ought to see the benefits which they would derive from having good roads built westwardly. We are ourselves, cognizant of the fact, that many persons, living iu Illinois, or near the State line, often times go elsewhere, and farther than i* the distance between them and Terre-flaute, to tradr, because they have belter roads over which to travel.

Especially if this mailer :»f run making of great importance now, in anticipation of the early completion of our Railroad to Indianapolis. The facility with which goods can soon bo brought here fruro tho Ka«t should increase very considerably lite wholesale business, done at this point, if good thoroughfares are opened some distance into the surrounding country.

We venture to say that a plank road from here to I'aris, Illinois, would add more to the prosperity of Terre-lleute than any other public improvement which could at this time be projected by our citizens. Could it not be made? Will any action be taken in tbe matter by any of our influential mnn?

It is not the continuation of the Railroad west that our interests demand. Terre-llaute will be better benefited, in our opinion, by remaining a terminus of tho road, for some time, and having a plank road leading into Illinois.

Yesterday wui thonksgiviug day. Service was held at most, if not all, the churches in town during morning, and the t'.\cercises of the occasion wound up with a magnificent ball and supper at tho splendid new Coiinthian Hall in Phoenix Row. The business houses of the oily were, we believe, without exception, open, and the dull monotone of trafra and toil wagged on as usunl. Wo, however, are preeminently a working people, and the Sabath itself ii not entirely free from our encroachments. The good old fashioned New England method of^pelebrating this occasion Ins notjet been adopted among us.

'A Norm ntow "Ou PAUKK.*'—In another column will bo found the proceedings of a Democratic Coui.lv Convention which was recently held in Rookville, i'arke county, VS underhand that the be&t feeling and the utmost harmony prevailed upon the uecaion, Tim ^rent portion of the resolution* adopted by the meeting speak the universal j»rntMn*nt of tho Democracy throughout the Slate. Hon. Jon* G. D.wta. our present M. C., was the presiding officer.

RftKKf—In regard to the price of litis article, we wII state that there has been no rise since our last iwuo, £3 6» nctt may be put down as the highest flgurest fcMlem appear now, a.« last week, unwilling todispose of their hog* at this mark, while purchasers persist in refusing more. There is consequently little or IK sales, Weather has been rather favorable for packing during the past week.

"The first blast from the large and magnifieent Koundery nt Mr. Jo* GROVKR was made on Saturday last. Thus, in the short period of six or eight weeks has there risen, phteniaslike, from the ruins »efth« old establishment, a Foundry, which in point of spaciousness and convenience of arrangement is second to none, probably, in western Indiana.

That tbe indomitable perseverance of its enterprising proprietor will be fully requited by the patronage of the community, we have no doubt*.

Hy reference to -NosUiern Light#" in our advertising ooluimi it will bes^en that M. Harrison still continues to manufacture "tight for the million", at his old stand. At the request of that gentleman, we recently made an experiment with seme candles of his manufacture and a good article of Star Candle, in order to test the length of time lor which they would relatively burn the result of our experiment, we are happy to say, convinced us that a c«*mmon tallow candle of his manufacture would bum, ordinarily, a half an hour longer then a atar candle. Hence when we take into ©onsid* ernttcn ti«»t star candles retail at 90 cents per lb., while the tallow candles manufactured by Harrison & 8M are only 15 cents per lb., the cheapness of tbe Utter ovrr the former in every respect, is palpable to all. We hope that the manufacturers of this superior article of candle will receive from our ciriaens that patronage, which they most justly decern.

STEWAST HOUSE.—This well known and popular hotel we nndertand has- recently been leased for a term of years to Messrs Mahan & Doughty of this place. There is not probably in the "Wabash Valley," a hotel the reputation of which, is more deservedly extensive than that of the Stewart House. The present proprietor, R. R. Sewart, has, during the past three or four years, by bis accommodating spirit, and natural sociability of dispostion, fully sustained the long established character of the house. We are happy to state, however, that thfe high character which the gentlemen maintain who have leased the premises warrant us in the assertion hat the well earned reputation of the house under theirsuperintendance will be in no degree impaired.

Wo clip the following from a late number of the "Lafayette Daily Journal," which if not interesting the public, generally, is most exceedingly unin resting to the Printers, who have lately bestowed free gratis, for nothing and no thanks," such exited compliments on his "Fakirship."

Tbe Fakir's Last.

The great "Fakir of Siva"—he whose miraculous feats in msgic drew crowd"} of our citizens at Meredith's Hall for several nights—-has gone, and one of our fairest damsels bas gone with him! This last trick was not in his bill, and as it came off at tbe noon of night, but few if any witnessed it.

Alas for the Fakir! his appointments to humbug the people ofCrawfordsville, Terre Haute and the Capitol city, cannot be filled for some of our indignant citizens are after him with whip and spur.

We sincerely regret this last act of the fakir, so underhanded and cowardly performed, and hope the fullest punishment of the "law" will be meted out to him. It was unprincipled BS premeditated, and he deserves a sound thrashing for such unfakiriike conduct.

Well, that's a trick what is a trick. If this last specimen of "hocus pocus" aint sufficient to establish the reputation of the great "Magician," we would like to know what else would be required.

Kossuth's Trnducers Silenced.

A card from Capt. Long, of the Mississippi, published lately in the "Washington Republic," exonerates Kossuth and his companions from the stories and charges so industriously and basely circulated against the great Magyar leader. The Captain and officers unite in affirming that the statements made by the Attache, and others, have not the remotest foundation in truth. Thus has Kossuth come forth from the fire of detraction and contumely with which he has been surrounded, purified and exalted, and we see him again as we have always seen him, the same dignified, manly, And noble heart which has attracted the love and admiration of the friends of human freedom in every part of tho world. Regarding Kossuth, as we have, as the representative of a great principle, and the "man among inen" on whom the future hopes of LBtfropean liberalism are centred, we have somewhat studied his character, and in all his acts he has proved himself to be the same generous, disinterested, high-minded, devoted and withal, unassuming patriot and chieftain, loved by his countrymen lo a degree of veneration equalled only in that felt by tho Amerioan people for their beloved

Washington, visionary probably in some of his schemes, as all great patriots and reformers are, yet ready at any moment to daro and sacrifice all for his beloved llungnry. The refutation of Capt. Long and his officers, is, we are happy to say, complete and unanswerable, and the slanders and their authors have already sunk to that depth of disgrace which justly belongs to them.

Scarcity of Gold nud Silver Coin. There has never been, probably, a time in the pecuniary history of the Union, in which the scarcity of gold and silver coin was so universally admitted as at present. What becomes of the immense quantity of gold and silver coin shipped continually from the mines of California and Australia, is a question much more easily asked than answered. Papers from every portion of the Union complain of the fact, that there is less metalic currency in circulation, at present, than has been known for years. That large quantities of gold have been, from time to to time, deposited at our various national mints and there worked up into coin is certain. Yet the old cry of "hard times" is becoming almost as universal as in the days of '41 and '42. It has recently become nearly a matter of impossibility to obtain any considerable sum, either of gold or silver currency, even at the highest rates of premium. And what is the most singular fact in regard to this subjeot, is, that from the latest transatlantic news, we ,«tre informed that in most of the European country®, this same scarcity prevails to an unusual degree. Accounts from Austria say that the deficiency is even greater there than in other portions of Europe, whioh is accounted for from the fact that their unsettled state of public afTairs, for some time past, has rendered it expedient for resident capitalists to make every exertion to be prepaerd for any political emergency which might occur, and as a matter of prudence they have converted all their wealth into ready money. This hoarding policy would of course have some influence, but most assuredly not enough to absorb all the gold and silver currency hitherto in active circulation. It may be a question of some moment whether there is a greater demand now for hard currency than formerly.

This scarcity, although not so perceptibly felt among us, as it is in the larger cities, will, should it continue much longer, very materially affect every branch of business, as we already understand many extensive trasactions in the Eaathave been^ for some time past, tilmeat suspended.

There never was, probably, a more universal dearth of news than at present. This scarcity of news together with the "regular irregularity'' of mails, make it a matter of some difficulty to find sufficient materiel to fiB oar columns. Tbe first difficulty we are happy to state will soon be remedied by tbe coming session of Congress and oar State Legislature. Wo wfll be able to present to our readers, in next issue, the message of Gov, Wright and the important news attendant upon tbe opening of tbe seeiicn We have engaged tbe eerviees of an intelligent gentleman of our city to correspond with as regularly during tbe winter, from Indianapolis, an individual who is well versed in the politics of the Stale, and, whose communication* cannot fail to add greatly to the interest of our cotatnns.

The Madi»«* Tribune favors the Hon. R. W. Thompson for Governor by ibe IMwg Su«e Cam cation. FX

AlTC^UlS AftTt THE 6B11T If OVA SCOTIA GIAMT. We take pleasure in announcing the arrival to our city, of this great wonder of the physical world. This young Hercules is only some 18 or 19 years of age, is nearly 8 feet high, weighs upwards of 400 lbs., is of a majestic and commanding figure, and withal, possesses no ordinary degree of intelligence. Having had tbe pleasure of seeing him ourselves recently in Indianapolis, we can assure the public that he is no humbug, bat is beyond a doubt the Goliab of Modern times.*,

,H Mr. Dodge's Lecture.

The first of a series of lectures, which has been proposed to be given this winter to the citizens of Terra-Haute, by tbe Mechanic's Historical Society. was delivered on last Monday evening, at the Universalist Church, by Stephen G. Dodge, Esq. We were rr.uch pleased to see there, on the occasion, an audience respectable in numbers and appreciative talent.

The subject- of the lecture was "The Influence of Discoveries in Physical Science upon Civilizalion"—one affording ample range for discursive reflection and varied research.

Civilization, adopting the definition given by Mr. Dodge, is "the 'development of Man' in his moral, intellectual, sensuous and physical nature." The acme of this development has no where at any time been reached. What approximation has been made towards it in our day affords us the only correct notions we can have of perfect civilization.— No ideal perfection can with propriety be set up as a standard by which to judge of ihe progress made by sny people, since such ideal springing from the imagination, must be the result of speculative and not of phylosophic inquiry? .It is both natural and proper to compare any preceeding state of society with that which surrounds us. In any comparison which may be made, reference will be continually had to this standard ever present before us. Herein do our views differ somewhat to those of Mr. Dodge.

The intimate relation existing between improvements in Physical Science, and advancement in civilization, must be manifest to every one. Indeed the former is one evidence of the latter. We say one, for, in accordance with views happily expressed by Mr. Dodge, "proficiency in science does not constitute the full ideaof civilization." It is one of the elements, as is so to be regarded.— What influence it may have upon other elements, and how far it may tend to the perfect development of a well-proportioned whole is the subject of the inquiry.

The lecturer traced the progress of civilization from an early period to the present time, glanoing at the causes which had most advanced or retarded it. Allusion was made to the different pursuits of men in the primary stages of society, and what direction thoy gave lo infellectual and physical improvement. War, it was shown, had, amid all its attendant evils, worked out good for mankind, which peace would not so rapidly, if ever, produce. Tho influences of speedy commercial intercourse, the result of improvements in steam navigation were dwelt upon at considerable length.

Very appropriate reflections were made in the concluding portions of the lecture, upon the true dignity of Labor and the effect which Discoveries in Physical Science must inevitably produce in elevating the conditions of the working classes, and affording them time and means for mental improve--m 1 ment.

s.*

Mr. Dodge writes well, and his lecture on Monday evening wa» replete with fine sentiments and original thoughts, conveyed in forcible language. A little more energy in delivery would have added somewhat to tho interest with which his production was listened to.

0^* Captain Landon Cochran, has just opened on Fourth Street in the late "Jenr.y Lind House," a gunsmith shop, where he would be happy to see all his old friends who have any thing to do in his line. We know of no individual who better deserves the patronage of the community than the Captain. Give him a call,

Maj. W. W. McCoy of Laporte County, and Hon. A. P. Willard, of New Albany, have been spoken of in connection with the nomination for the office of Lieutenaut Governor of the State,

Maj. McCoy is well qualified for the office and Mr. Willard is one of the most distinguished speakers of the State. Either would make, we have no doubt, a popular and efficient presiding officer.

Prof. Larrabee of Greencast'e, has been suggested as a suitable individual to fill the Presidential chair of the Indiana State University just vacated by tbe death of Dr. Wylie. Judge McDonald, of the Uw department of the Institution, is p^dentjpo leu, until the vacancy can be filled.

0$- An enthusiastic meeting was held in Cincinnati, on Wednesday evening last, to consider the propriety of urging the Government of tbe United Slates to ask for tbe release of Smith O'Brien, John Mitchell, and other exiles. 0^rLynn Boyd is spoken of as a Democratic

candidate for tbe Vice Preaideticy.

Judge Kelson, before who™ the great Methodist Church case was tried lastinmn»ei, baa recently announced his decision to be in &vor of the M. E. Church South. We suppose this settles tbe question.

[The Ind. Sentinel and Statesman please copy.] 'T It:' Diplomatic Gossip.

The following gossip we find in the Washin correspondence of the New York Times:*''* Mr. William Rives, of Virginia, the Minister sent to France by Gen. Taylor's administration in its early experienced state of existence, was some weeks ago recalled from that mission. The true reason for this step, is, that tbe present administration was tired of him, and bad no inducement to retain bim. It is the universal remark of Americans who haw been in Paris since Mr. Rives resided there as a Minister, that he was entirely desiitate of any of that civility which is expected from oar ministers to oar countrymen, and more than that, be was on many ocasions unnecessarily rude. Besides, if be bad done any daty, except draw his salary, it was negligently performed- Tbe wune tbing was said of bim when be was Minister of Paris undar Jackson'* appointment,

The President will appoint Mr. Rives mocesagr after the tbe meeting ofCongress. Mr. Forward bas returned from Copenhagen, and that Cbargeship is vacant, Mr. Markoe, ofthe State Department, bas long expected to foil b«r to that pi"— It is doubted whether be can get it— He bas bas served as a clerk in that offise for aoa»e time, and tbe President thinks there is something doe to him on that score. At the same time, there are numerous and pressing applications for tbe place from other quarters. 1 think the appointment lies between Mr. Ogle, of Peon., and Mr. Markoe. I don't mean tbe "gold spoon" Ogle, bat that clever wag. Jack OgJe, ofthe late Congress. He will preserevo bis own gravity, and relax thai of lleo mark, or his name will be still Jack Ogle.

J&L' NEW YORK, NOV 15th, 18S1. Mr. Eaitor:— The events of the past week have leen rather interesting, although, perhaps not so peculiar. At any rate the spirit of excitement has »been up, and we have had much to think about, to canvas and to discuss, if we have not been materially amused or instructed.

One of the great "sensations" has been the export of certain practices of our Coroner whereby, it is asserted, he has realized some 830,000 per annum instead of 910,000. A committee of the City Council reports that he has charged for many inquests never held, although every inquest has to be sworn to and regularly recorded. The difficulty is an alarming one, and the Governor has the matter in hand for decision. It appears to have been the general practice of previous Coroners to practice the same deception. The Coroner, at present, is very ill and not expected to live.

A number of men belonging to tho "fashionable circle" have been arrested, charged with lurging, the names of wealthy business men to checks for heavy amounts upon various banks. Their plau was a cunning one and had been carried out with singular audacity and success. One ofthe rogues being penned up in lus house, escaped, and fled to the Hospital, where he pretended to be a sick man just from California, aud where ho was found snugly ensconced in bed.

The Fire Annihilator experiment on Tuesday was a good one and put out the burning building instanter. Ilow the firemen cheered it 1 The ladies, too, applauded it very warmly.

What do jou think of out-door preaching 1 We are to have something of that kind here, every Sunday now. The Battery, Park, &c. wiil be appropriated by the street Missionaries, and the great "unwashed," the moral lepers of the wharves, the market house and the severs, will have the pool of Siloa brought to their very shoe-ties that may lave themselves and be clear. If tho souls of the poor and the ragged, the houseless and the soapless,are worth less in the great market of eternity, than the souls of the plump and the sleek, the besented and the fashionable, this will throw out a public speculation if as we trust, the "looped and windowed raggedness" of the outer man has nothing to do with the inner nobility of nature, and the imbiber of "Heidsick" and tho poor drinky at the pump, stand on the same platform before the Deity, the idea is one grateful to every senso of Christianity and philanthropy.

Wo have had the usual number of murders, fires, robberies die. the past week of which the newspapers have fully informed you. So let them go. But a gennin "Bloomer"—a tipsy Bloomer— was caught last night in Broadway, making love to gentlemen. We dislike Bloomers. We put the women always in the category of the angola anil only think of angels in trouses 1

Mifcs Hayes, the "Swan of Erin," has got woary of

singing

for other people, and has "cut" all her

engagements, her managers &c. to take a little repose from her vocal labors amid the rural shads of Staten Island. Some difficulty between her managers Mr. Ward well and Max Maretzk, whereby she was shown an indignity which has occasioned this rupture. "Firm, as the everlasting rocks" is a quotation that will have to be altered very soon with school books, for the rocks aro rapidly dissolving partnership with the upper-daylight through the instrumentality of Mons Maillifort and his cans of gunpowder. The wholo romance of the spot, will as the terrible name it has won for itself, is thus "blasted" forever.

The U. S. frigate Mississippi, with the Hungarians of Kossuth's suite on board, is here, and the men and women of that down-trodden nation attract great Bttention. Some of the women are pretty and very interesting. The men, generally, what you can see of them, are a compound of hair and tobacco smoke, with a strong aroma of patriotism and pretention. Kossuth is expected to arrive here next week, and we are in a perfect convulsion of preparation for his reception. Never was such a right witnessed as will be his welcome, since the time

visited our ancient friend and

philosogj^er, Solomon. Yours truly,

ESEICTS TO KOSSUTH.—The Philadelphia Bi dn elates that a citizen of that city has prepared a present for Kossuth, which consist* of a miniature of Washington, from Stuart's portrait, set round with pearls. The frame of this is a gold star, and beyond the points of the star projects a cro« of St. John, in silver, richly chased. Two drawn swords are also represented between the limbs of the cross. Hie whole is suspended by a gold chain. It forms an ornament about two inches square, and is a most beautiful and appropriate gift

A gentleman in New York is to present him with a magnificent tine keeper. Mr. Henry Rhode, who keeps nnder the Howard Hotel, is prepariog a magnificent and elaborately carved meerchaum pipe for the illustrious Magyar, the first cost of which wifl exceed three band red dollars. Other parties are likewise preparing presents for him. The Germans are preparing to pay him the highest honors.

OBSERVER.^

UTAH.—Gov. Brigham Young, and the Mormons under his lead in this Territory have placed themselves in a hostile attitude towards the General Government, by compelling the Chief Justice and other officers appointed by the United States, to flee the country. This insane conduct can wily bring ruin and desolation upon its authors, and those connected with them. If the Government should be driven to extremities to vindicate its laws a force could easily be raised smong the reckless spirits of California, who would take delight in desolating the whole mormon country. In fact, if this rebellious spirit should be persevered in, the Mormons would need the protecting arm of the Government they have outraged, to save them from the marauding bands to which in their out-lawed eonitioo, they would be su bjeot.—louxt Gazette
