Spring and the Spring Trail*. The weather for the past week naa been mild and pleasant, and such as to indicate tbe approach of Spring. The roads are getting quite passable, and our stree's more or less thronged with teams and people, begin lo present an aspect of business. The Spring Trade of the place, however, has not yet commenced, owing to low slate of navigation upon the Wabash, the greater quantity of the goods, intended for the spring supply for this market now lying at the rapids, awaiting a rise in the river. Our city neverthel ss presents a lively scene. The mechanic and the laborer are both alike engaged in erecting and removing building*, suitable to the different purposes for which they are assigned. Almost entire rows and blocks of buildings, which a few days ago flourished upon iheir particular street, now grace a diflersiit locality. Old stores and shops are being removed, repaired, and filled up with material for business, and the countenances of the occupants look pleasant and happy. Terre Haute will receive a new and powerful impulse this Spring. We are glad to see it. We predict that in less than ten years, Terre Haute will bo superior in wealsii, business and population to any city in Indiana, as she is now superior in the beauty of her physical situation, in expressing this opinion, we but echo the sentiments of hundreds who have for years watched her gradual but certain improvement- We hope her rival i-ilies in Indiana will lake a lesson from her, ond^ndeavor to emulato her example.

GRKKNCASTLK—We spent the grenier part of last week in this flourishing little place, in attendance upon the Circuit Court, ihen holding its session. Thero are many evidences of growing prosperity visible in and about ihe town. Nearly a hundred buil dings have been erected in the place in ihe ihe last twelve monihs, and quite a large number are in process of erection. The greater number of the houses, however, are mere tenements, elected without any regard lo architectural tasto, or convenience of arrangement. The private residence built by ihe late President of the Indiana Asbury University, I)r. Simpson, is the oi.ly one calculated to attract the least attention from the beautyofiUaruhimcture. The colege edifice, although sufficiently largo and commodious, is destitute of that classic finish, and architectural beauty, which should be blended in ono of Literature's halls, and is begining to look considerably dilapidated. The College, wo understand, is in flourishing condition, having had during the current year upwards of threo hundred students in attendance.— We attended an exhibition of one of the Literary Societies connected with the Institution, on Monday the 4th inst. The exercises of the ocdosion consisted of orations, essays, debate, &o. We confess we were farfrorn being carried away by the exceeding brilliancy of the performances.

Among the Members of the bar, in ottertdance upon the Circuit Court, wo had the pleasure of meeting our old friend and preceptor JUDGE MCDONALD, who, having occupied tho bench for a period of fourteen years, baa retitod, and is now engaged in a most extensivo ftnd lucrative practice.

We learn that the President has appointed Hon. Jos. 15. MCDONALD of Crawlordsville District Attorney for Indiana, vice Hugh O'Neil, removed. Mr. McDonald was formerly a member of Congress from the Lafayette District.

The report of the appointment of Hon, WiLLts A. GORMAN to the Governorship of the Territory of Minnesota is confirmed.— Glad lo hear it.

The Treaty with Switxnland, now before the Senate, contains arf article providing that the ciuxens of both countries may inherit real property left them by the citixena of either. A constitutional point, it i* said, baa been raised by Mr. Butler, Chairman of the Judiciary Committee, however. vis: that the ri«ht of aliens to inherit property within the Otuted State* was a matter regulated by State Saws, and was not uniform tu iu action, inajtmach as s^me State* permitted foreigners to inherit, whilst others prohibited it.

0^7* An Editorial Convention is to be held at Matshall, in Michigan, early in June. Although the Editors of the Peninsular Stale are notorious for their ultraism in politics, on such an occasion as this* hey meditate burying the hatchet, and to renew old acquaintances, and form new one?, without regardtto political differences. They have 50 or 60 presses in Michigan now. At every counly seat there is to be found at least one press, and where the demand justifies it, two presses. Detroit has three dailies, and tho prospectus of the fourth, a penny paper, has just been issued. Several weekly and monthly publications are published in the city of the Straits.

The Washington correspondent of the New York National Democrat gives currency to a somewhat wonderful revelation, according lo which a number of wealthy Californians have entered into a negotiation to buy out the Sandwich islands from their present soverign, with tbe view of having ihem annexed to the U. S. as a oounty of California. The negociation, it is asserted, had been brought to a successful termination, but the weak-minded king was afterwards induced to withdraw his assent. The Californians have not given the project up, but are endeavoring to bring the king back to his bargain.

THE WASHINGTON MONUMENT.—The Baltimore Sun of the 24th says that Robert Mills, the architect, made a thorough examination of the monument and its foundations, on that day. Not the slighest fracture in any part of ihe former could be discovered, and the foundations remained as firm as on the day the first stone was laid. Workmen are now uncovering the work, and about the first of April, builders will again be in full operation.—The Sun adds that George G. Baker, the American Consul a'. Gena writes to the managers that he has obtained a block of red seinite granite, the same of which the obelisks of Kgypt are made from the ruins of an ancient Temple in Alexandria, supposed to have fogm* ed part of the library at Alexandria, He asks to have this block inserted in the monument.

THE SIAMESE TWINS.—The

las says a letter has recently been receiv ed in this city, from Chang and Eng Bunker, the united Siamese Twins, who excited so much interest when on exhibition some twenty years ago, announcing their intention of makrng a tour of the principal cities of the U. S. and Europe. They have been induced lo take this step in consequence of numerous application from influential people on both sides of tbe Atlantic, and they will make their first appearance in Boston, some time in April. Since they were last exhibited they have married, and they are now the fathers eleven children, six belonging to one and five to the other. They have been settled for many years in North Carolina, engaged in agricultural pursuits, and are highly respected in the community where they reside. As every one has heard of these wonderful individuals, and as almost anew generation has grown up since ibey retired from public, their levees cannot fail to attract crowds of visitors.

Mrs. Harriet Stowe ssi the English Aristocracy* Mrs. Harriet Stowe, the authoress of •Uncle Tom's Cabin' has gone to England, to receive the plaudits and carressings of the unite# aristocracy of that country, And' what fort Simply because she has written a book that belies and slanders her own country. As a writer, we have a thousand men, and five hundred women, in this country wbo are far her superiors. Considered simply as a work of art. Uncle Tom's Cabin, is a failure—both the plot and execution are bad—and. it has been so considered by the best critics in this counry and England. But it has had the benefit of immense puffiing. and of a wild, rampant fanaticism on this side of the Atlantic, and of a deep-seated hatred of America on the other. That is the sole secret of its remarkable success. A splendidly illuminated edition of one of Lippard's novels was re-published in London a few years ago, in weekly numbers. A hundred thousand copies were sold in England, and the work was elaborately praised by the critics as a work of art. Emerson's works have all been re-printed in England, and many other American books of real genius but if Lippard. Emerson, Mrs. Sigourney, or any other American authoress whose books have sold best, go to England, they are allowed to pass as quietly through the country a* though they had never written a book.—

But as soon as Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe writes a book, abusing her own country, she is invited to England by the "aristocracy," and a castle opened for her reception. The vain and foolish woman accepts. Does she suppose it i^^i compliment offered to American authorship! No. Does she suppose it is a compliment offered to any imagined genius in herself? No. She understands full well that all that adulation is offered as an insult to her country, and, as such, she consents to receive it.—N. Y. National Democrat.

Fresh discoveries of gold had been made on the Konrong river. The metal was chiefly in the form of nuggels. and the lead appeared to be very rich.

ihe Governor of Massachusetts was twice elected by a majority of one.
