the late expression of the people's will, which has resulted in the elevation of (Jen.

political questions, sought lo render Whig doctrine* palatable to the nation. Hut because it was neither hoi nor cold has it been spewed out. Not even thus would the people endure a continuance of Whig government. Under such circumstances how decisive has been the preference shown for democratic principle*.

Thus entering Upon the discharge of the duties of his high »taiinn, representing the triumph of piinciple, with no doubtful indication of the wishes of his frllow-citizens, and such an exhibition of confidence in his ability and integrity as has been seldom shown any man in this or any other country. Gen. Pierce, we have no doubt, sees clearly, this day, a path before him, in which he can walk firmly and steadily to the end.

Not only these, but thoughts of an entirely different oharnctor, arousing feelings of national instead of party pride, occur to us as we reflrct upon the complete chango which ti kes place to-day in one branch of our government, without so much as exciting the inquiry upon our streets, "Whai is going on?*' The papers make the announcement as mere matter of course, und beyond that acaroely any note taken of it, s» quiet, so

A bill hm lately passed Congress having for its object the application of a remedy for the scarcity of Silver coin. It provides for the reduction of the pteuetu standard of finances, «o as to prevent its export. The Standard of Gold coin was reduced several years since, ao that that of ailver has been for sonio tiin9 higher. Whether or no it would not have been better to have I again elevated the Standard of Gold lo whore it was fixed before its reduction, instead of reducing Silver, seems to bo a desputed point wilh some. However all agree that something Waa^fteeeasary to be done to prevent a farther im re&s# the difficulties expeiienced among business men on account of scarcity of change. Within a few weeks it has been almost nnpossible» in this place, to get money chaged at all, and all over the county the same complaint made. Three cent pieces are in demand .••• and some of our business men wo under* stand have found it convenient to send to the mint for a supply of this insignificant, though now acceptable coiu.

The Legislature has passed the Bill removing tbe county seal, over the Governor's Veto. The case will now go to the Supreme Court. We thing the couit will sustain the views of the Governor. That clause of the Conatituiion which provides that no local law, shall be passed, where a general one could be made applicable, must be adhered to by our legUlation it w*s a wise provision, made necessary by the vast amount of local legislation anually cumbering up the Statute Hooks.

Monday Evening, on Physio and the Physician. waa a well written, well delivered, and pleasing discourse, which alt those whom we heard speaking of it. concurred in pronounces very excellent and entertaining. We hardly expected that, upon such a subject, the Dr. would be able to throw together, in brief space, so much matter of interest to a nonprofessional audience as he presented on the occasion, lie succeeded admirably in grouping a variety of facts, which,highly interesting in themselves,were, at the same time, illustrative of his present train of thought, and without attempting a learned disquisition upon the profession, of which he is a worthy inembec* he indicated, in an unpretending, but plain and forcible style, the causes of its advancement, its true merits, its proper objects, and the spirit which should actuate its votaries.-—

DM f-lirn that Orpheus drew trees, stones and floods." We had the pleasure of hearing some very delightful singing at the Town Hall, on last Tuesday evening, as we listened to the exercises of MR. ISAACS' juvenile "band of choiisters", who, at the close of their late term, afforded parents and others an opportunity of thus witnessing, in part, their proficiency in vocal nfusic. Never is music so sweet as when it proceeds from the voices ot the young, for with them it seems but the exuberance of happy feelings seeking outward harmonious expression, and thus associated with innocence and happiness it produces its pleasantest effects upon the mind. There is csever in such musio a want of feeling—of life—of soul: it is ail that— no stateliness,—no coldness. It addresses itself to the heart, and attaint better perhaps than that of a higher order what *e esteem to be its legitimate object—the production cf pleasure and the awakening of *fure emotions and ennobling sentiments.

Ma. ISAACS deserves credit for the p&LLI he has taken in instructing, thoroughly, in the principles of musio, this class of girls and boys. It will have a tendency to create a greater taste for musio in our town, and there will be reared up a better class of singers amongst us. His object has been thU, and not oae of persoual gain. We are glad to learn that he has been requested to continue his present class, and will do so, and that he feels encouraged to form a junior one. Send on the children therefore, and let them learn to aing. There can be found for thsni no pleasanter or purer amusement, nor one which mil promise them a greater share of happiness in after life.

I The Vabuh Bottoms. Why ia it that our property holders and business men do not awake to the import tance of improving the road through this bottom? It ia well known that a fair propor of our business comes from the west side of the river, and that a much greater amount woutd concentrate here, were it not for the fact, that at certain seasons of the year this bottom is impassable', and at other seasons nearly so. TerreUaule is the natural centre of trade for a great and growing Country west of us. but the difficulties of getting here, causes the peopie to make as few visits as possible, and will ultimately lose nearly the whole trade, unless this obstruction is removed.— It is tbe opinion of good judges, that a grade above high water mark M'adamized wilh bridges over :he water coursea is tbe improvement we need.

33" A new route has been opened to travellers going east, this spring, by way of Union, Gieenvillc, and Dayton, which is &aid to be cheaper, speedier, and more pleasant than any other. Persons examining the advertisement of the Greenville and Miami R. R. Co. in our paper of to day will be able to ascertain the rates of fare, and the time occupied in going, on this route.

RAILROAD CONTRACTORS will do well to observe the advertisment of the Atlantic and Mississippi R. R. Company in to-day's paper. Some portions ot the work advertised to be let will be ot a heavy character.

We call the attention of our readers to the advertisement in an another column of Wenthworth and Brother, Dry goods dealers in Cincinnati, who offer desirable bargains to customers.

Atlantic and Minsiwipi Rail Road.

at leas!, |£p

We copy the article below, in reiereribe to the Atlantic and Mississippi Railroad, from the "Illinois Journal." For ourselves we should like to see that road built. The opposition to-it, in Illinois, however, has been rather increased than allayed this winter, and tbe friends of the road may thank their own indiscretion for it* partly, in causing such misrepresentations to be made in Eastern papers as are complained of by the "Illinois Journal." Although we would prefer to see Illinois follow the example of other States, and allow capital to undertake within her borders such enterprises as it might choose, yet we do not blame the Alton company for endeavoring to secure itself from injutious competition, for a time Washington

The road to Alton will, no doubt, be prosecuted now, vigorously to completion. The work has been going on this winter, as rapidly as the weather would permit, and, by next fall.It is anticipated, that the cars will be running from here to Paris, perhaps to Charleston. A great deal of enthusiasm pervades along the line which will hasten

ihe completion of the road. Though the 18^e M*1

the richest portions of Illinois The work to be done in the immediate vicinity of town will be very heavy, and there will, of course, be a great expenditure of money in our midst and to our advantage. If the Alton campany can soon have the cars running into our town from across the Wabash, we say "God speed them," as well as "every other enterprise, which will bring travel and business to our city. We hope to see the day when this, and several other railroads, leading to Terre-Haute will be finished, and paying good dividends to the stockholders.

We copied yesterday a statement Irom tbe money article of the New York Tribune of the 28 January, that the Atlantic and Mississippi Rail Road Company had no bills before the Legislature of the State of Illinois, at the present session. It is a positive statement, without qualification, and is intended for the information of capitalists and others who are in the habit of looking at the statements of that article for correct information as to the monetary matters of the dayii Wo always read the column of the Tribune with particular attention, and have been led lo regard it as authoritative, end believe it is generally 30 regarded throughout the country. The statements that have appeared in it in relation to Illinois matters, from time to time, have led us to question its accuracy in other matter and we at this time desire lo call the particular attention of the conductors of that paper to the fact that no statement like the one we refer to could be more untrue, or could be written with more ignorance of the facts as they actually exist.

The Atlantic/and Mississippi Rail Road Company, as it it styles itself, is not a legally. chartered company it has made application again and again for an act of incorporation lo our Legislature, and has again and again been refused. Its President, Mr. John Brough. has be&eiged the capitol in this city, with i's agents, and in person, soliciting the Legislature in behalf of his road, has been refused from high considt rations of a sound and commou sense policy, which, whatever the backers of Mr Brough may say in New York, are by us in Illinois deemed important to the interests of our State and its citizens.

The Terre Haute and Alton Rail Road lies within a stone throw, almost of the route over which Mr. Brough desires to build his road. Our citizens have invested their means largely in it, and are of course deeply interested in its success.

and affords as short a transit from New York to the Mississippi as the road of Mr. IJrough.' Both roads are not needed by the publio and cannot be sustained. The Ohio and Mississppi Kail Hoad runs from Vincennes to St. Louis, a few miles south of Terre Haute and Alton, and would be in like manner equally injured by the construction of this road of Mr. [trough's so necessarily interposed between them. This fact is so evident, that our legislature by large and increasing majorities declines to charter this Atlantic and Mississippi Rail Road Company and yet, at every session this application is renewed, and printed statements in pamphlets and newspapers, the public in New York and elsewhere are made to believe that this Company is pos sessed of a legal charter, and that no authority is needed or will be asked for by them and even while their application is before the legislature, and backed by all the influence of active loby agents while it is engrossing almost the entire attention of the legislature while il is brought up and debated with high excitement defeated one day in the Senate, brought up again in the House—-defeated there again introduced with modifications and amendments—in the Senate and House again and again defeated by the same large and determined majority while other measures involving similsr principles are also brought up and

shape, while Mr. Brough himself, the Presiideut of the Company, is daily morning and evening, hanging about the lobbies of tbe House and Senate we say that wbiie all these things are going forward here, we are gravely informed by the New York Tribune a paper which pretends to be well informed especially in money matters, and other things connected with the great railroad interest of the country and their securies, that no such thing is taking place, tbe telegraphic despatches to tbe contrary notwithstanding!—that tbe Adantic and Mississippi Rail Road Company desire nothing of the legislature oHllinofs!!

It reflects but little upon the intelligence of tbe leaders of tbe Tribune ia Wall street ifsuch statements can be made with impunity—it reflects but little credit upon die feooesty of tbe press which thus misleads tbe public mind, if, knowing tbe facts, it »ves cttcmecj to statements so gtarin^y fais*.

defeated also the excitement and interest $ ot such division, there would be danger of still kept up in every vsriety of form and'Western Texas becoming a Free State,

We desire, inbsbalfof many readers of tbe Tribune in this section of tbe country an explanation of this matter, and that no«*»**mbo« tow. injustice be done in its editorial eoiams to «.• tbe legally chartered railroads of our Stale. I /T Rbode Islaad -fioally
