Marcy. and Attorney General Crittenden opposite to Gen. Cushing, with ihe rest of ihe old and new Cabinet intermixed, together with General Cass, Gan. Jo. Lane, Pierre Soule. and other members of both. Young Fillmore and Sidney Webster sat side by side, and such a harmonious spectacle of divers political elements was never know in the White House before. Gen.

Gov. Wright did not go to Cincinnati to make any such arrangement.

nue was crowded wilh anxious faces, thousand of bright eyes were turned in the direction from which the procession would approach the Capitol. At length it came in sight hesalded by gjorious music. I have lost my programme and forgotten the order of the procession, but I remember thai there were marshals picturesquely dressed and elegantly mounted—that there were two batteries of flying artillery, the same that performed hard and effective service in Mexico—that there were ten other military companies beautifully uniformed and soldier looking—that were various clubs and associations, fire companies, foreign ministers, government officers and citizens—that there were a waving of banners, wreathed evergreens, and appropriate in&criptions.— But '.he observed of all was the President. He rode the elegant carriage recently presented" to him, accompanied by 5tr. Fillmore, Mr. Bright of Indiana, and Mr. Hamlin of Maine. He stood up with his head uncovered, though it was snowing almost all the way from his quarters at Willard's Hotel to the Capitol, and nothing could excel the ease and eloquence of his attitude and the manner as he returned the enthusiastic greeting of ihe vast multitude that surrounded him. Before this time you have seen his inaugural address—it was pronounced in a deep, clear, manly voice, with a dignity and gracefulness of manner which has been rarely equalled and never excelled. As he drew boldly the outlines of his future policy and spoke of the eternal principles that uphold onr glorious country, the hush of ihe listenening thousauds told how truly and how well he was understood and appreciated. This city is full of his praise and il is my prophesy that his administration, will build him a monument in the world's heart that the future can never overthrow. S. T. B.

they, as soon as possible, took measures (or the fulfillment of the very important duties devolving upon them, namely the thorough exploration of the county of Vigo, with regard to the supply of the word of life therein, and the supplying so tar as they could every family found destitute of that word.

They would, in the first place, say by way of apology for the delay that has taken place in the presentation of this report, that one of the chief reasons has been the frequent sickness of their distributing agent, the Rev. J. C. Robbins—the work of exploration and supply was, on this account, much interrupted, and as your Committee greatly disliked to call you together till something like a satisfactory statement could be laid before you, the publio meeting has not, until the present time been convened, 'aW-.iH-

f,.

The Committiee are now however, in a condition to congratulate you, and themselves, that the work you committed to them two years ago is at length, and so far as it can be, accomplished.,

In the year 1841 under the agency of Rev. N. Fitch the task of exploring and supplying this county was first undertaken. Au organization for this purpose was effected. But it does not appear from the records of the Society's proceedings (hat much was done towards the end proposed, with the exception of taking up a subscripion in the year 1842 and another in the year 1843. In June of the latter year, at a meeting of the executive committee, it was resolved that the chairman take the necessary steps to cause a complete exploration of this county, to ascertain the number of families who are destitute of the word of God, and that he be authorized to appoint individuals for that purpose. At a meeting held one week after (June S3d)the Chairman informed the Committee that arrangements had been made for the exploration of the four following townships, viz., Otter Creek, Hon-

arrangements for the remaining seven would be mado as soon as possible The next step was the meeting of committee, January 25th, 1844,from the minutes of which meeting it is incidentally brought to light that the Society was in possession of Bibles,for it was resolved at the above meeting "that the Bibles belonging to this Society be withdrawn from the Depository and left with J. S. Freeman for distribution." It was also resolved at said meeting "that the eleven Townships of ihe county be explored" and individuals were named "to explore or cause to be explored," the several townships annexed to their names.— From this date (Jan. 25th, 1844,) till Jan. 30th, 1846,the committee seem to have rested from their labors, when, on the above date we find them again covened in execulive session and resolving "thai the executive committee be empowered to employ an agent to explore the county and supply the destitute," after which the meeting adjourn* ed.^j. The ot.ly other information we have of the operations of the Society we find embodied in the memorial submitted, June 5th 1846, "to the President and Executive committee of the Vige county Bible Society by the agent of the Depository at Terre-Haute, Mr. E. Flint. From which among other things we learn that there was a large supply of common Bibles and Testaments, sent on by the Parent Society at the instance of the agent, the Rev. N. Fitch, to be on hand for the use of the committee, for the supply o( the destitute of the county, but that after the boxes had remained here a

ong time unopened they ware at length for* warded to the agent to be distributed in some other county. This terminates the history of the Society until it was resosci..ndr.^di.0. MO,, .85, b,

This is an important question, and all should vote one way or the other. Let there be a full expression of public opinion.

JL*ST LIKE HIM AOAtrt.—It is related of (Jen. Pierce, that soon after he reached Washington an ardent friend of the Pacific Railroad bill approached him to use his influence with one or two Senators, whose positions were doubtful, in favor of the enactment of the bill, of course. Pierce answered promptly and emphatically, that he "had not been elected by the people to be President of a railroad, but of the United State*, and therefore could do no such thing."

The Lafayette Courier advertises for a "good stout, healthy, honest, industrious, steady, faithful, persevering, temperate, obliging, trufctworthy. good natured, teachable, tractable, civil, mora), intelligent boy," to learn the priming business. We'd give a quarter for a sight of such a boy as that.

Coltfi^ Tire Roc*r Mocjn-APrs.—The importance of finding coal on the route to California and Oregon cannot be overrated. On that depends the establishment of such depots of fuel and machinery as will be essential to railroad transportation. Fortunately, coal has been found in abundance, in the vicinity of the crest of the Rocky Mountains. CapL Stanabury, in his interesting report on the Great Salt Lake, mentions several localities of bituminous coal, on the tributaries of Bear river. It seems evident that coal will be found on the slopes of the Rocky Mountains in ample quantities for future usee.

No! we trust you will go forward with increased constancy and perseverance—gathering from past success hope for the future. WTe do confidently and earnestly believe that you will not abandon, under the delusive plela that the work is accomplished, this rich harvest field to the enemy of souls—thai he, thus brought upon them unmolested, may sow his tares—but thai you will follow on in the good work, and wherever, in the heart of your fellow men. the thorns and briars and cares of this world shall be found ready to choke the word, you also may be found perseveringly replanting and scat'.ering broad cast ihe word of His Kingdom and of His power.

And thus we fervently pray, brethren, thai, when Ho who has said "occupy nil 1 come," shall gather in the general harvest of souL*, it may be yours and ours lo see the Judge of ihe quick and the dead point lo some who, through your instrumentality in this matter, were plucked as brands from the everlasting burnings. 1 Respectfully Submitled.
