Don't Forget the Election. Our readers will remember ihtl the onnun! State Klection takes place on Tuesday week next, ihe 11th of October. Democrats will please remember this and not fait lo come to the poll*. The only Stale officer lobe chosen is a Reporter of the Supreme Court, lo fill ihe vacancy occasioned hy ihe death of the late incumbent, lion. Horace E. Carter. The only candidates for the position are ALBP.»T G. POBTKB, Ksq. and Dr. JOHN W. GOB DON. The former gentleman, the Democratic Candidate, recommended to the office for which he now aspires by the Democratic State Central Committee, and which he now holds by appointment from the Governor. Ho is a gentleman of fine legal abilities, good education, end already, although quite a young man, ranks among the first lawyers of Indianapolib. Since his appointment lo that position, he has issued a volume of repots, which has elicited the commendation of the the entire bar of the State, for the rfearness, legal brevity and precision, wh^h they exhibit. Dr. Gordon, his nppqpdnl, i# a whig, considerably tinctured abolitionism, «nnd for the past two otrfr** yfears has occupied the positioni/rIStlitor of the Ternperance Chart, jKh organ of Temperance in ihis Slatey/Of his qualifications for an office reqijiWhg some legal ability we are not advised* tul having been bred lo ihe Medical profession we should reasonably suppose that he would be more at home among pills, tinctures, and cathartics, than in reporting the decisions of our Supremo Court. His qualifications, therefore, for this particular office, may, with much propriety, be questioned. Of the qualifications of his opponent, Mr. Porter, there cannot be shadow of doubt. Immediately aftor the issue of the volume of Reports by Mr. Porter, in the capacity of a Reporter, Mr. Gordon as Kditor of the Temperance Chart, thus spoke ol Mr. P., and his reports: '•It is no disparagement to Judge Blackford, whose fame, both as a Judge, and a Reporter, is second tb none, and furnishes a topic on whioh an Indianian in every part of the I'nion is continually addressed in terms well calculated lo awaken his State piide, to say that Mr. Porter, in the preparation of these cases has given unmistskeatie evidence of thai good judgement and painstaking which havo given the Report* of his great predecessor their unrivalled reputation wiih the bar. The abstract or analysis ol each case, which, in Blackford always presents us the law of the decision which it is prefixed will be found equally as perfect in the oases now before us, For lirtaf, weighty aentences, expressing without any auperfluity of words, the rule of law in the ease, Mr. P. has no superior, and will doubtless bec«»me eminent as a Reporter, I if he should con.iuue for any considerable period to occupy his present position.

Owing to the fact, that the volume will be unusually Urge without notes, Mr. P., ha* not gi*en us a very copious supply of this kind of Uluatratwu of the'text yet his notes are mar* numerous than in Carter's Reports, and well calculated to throw light on the decisions to which they are appended.

Having said thi* much we conclude bjr commending these case* to the favorable regard of the legil fraternity and Mr. P, hiumll, who ta a young men of fair fame, good education, and fit** abilities, t« the impartial justioe of hie fellow citiaene at large, knowing, frctn all acquaintance of near a score of years, that from that justice be has nothings fear

What Fools!

The Spaniards are greaters fools than we had supposed them lo befeif the following be true. The New York Daily Times has a letter from its Paris correspondent, which runs thus:

Minister Soule. PARIS, Aug. 25, 1053.

The Charivari devotes a long article lo Mr. Soule, who is, at present, in Paris, apropos of an article in the Debals, condemnatory of that gentleman's torchlight and brass band speech in New York. The writer says that the most extraordinary efforts are made by the Spanish editors lo induce the Government not to receive Mr. Soule. One of the papers of Madrid publishes a sketch of the personal appearance of this terrible Minister. According to this, he is a man of about fifty years of age, with a beard hanging down to his waist his costume is that of a hunter and trapper he never quits his rifle, and pouches of powder and ball hang from a belt of undressed leather, lie has killed many a Huron, and even Mohican, in the days when there were more than one —the last of them. By a singular caprice, he has often graced his loins with the scalps ol his fallen enemie^ He tattooes himself, and has the image%f a serpent upon his forehead, done in India ink. When this description of Mr. Soule sppeared, the children of Madrid began to cry. Pretty soon, the religious journals of ihe city declared that Mr. Soule was nothing more nor less thsn the devil, who had assumed that form for the furtherance of his unhallowed purposes. Masses were at once ordered in the Church of Notre Dame d'Atocha. Now the Charivari thinks all this needless alarm, and cannot see the impropriety of the Minister of a Republio entertaining the sentiments and holding the language attributed to Mr. Soule at the tar-barrel meetiog. The Charivari is a devoted ally of the Americans, and will insist that they are ready to acknowledge that they are wrong.

Mr. Wood, our late Governor, on his way to Valparaiso touched at Jamaca, and formed rather an unfavorable opinion of the effects of the abolitian of slavery on that island. He says:—

We saw many plantations, the buildings dilspidated fields of sugsr cane half worked and apparently poor, and nothing but that which will grow without the labor of man appeared luxuriant aod flourishing. The istand itself is of great fertility, one of the best ol the Antilles: but all the large estates upon it are now fast going to ruin. In the harbor were not a doxen ships of all nations —no business was doing, aod everything you hear spokes was in the language of complaint. Sioce the blecks have been liberated they have become indolent, insolent degraded end dishonest. They area rude beastly set of vagabonds, lying naked a boot the street, as filthy as Hottentots, and, believe worse.—Cim* GmzeUe.

How TR FESIS TO HAVE THE YELIOW FC* VEX.-—A correspondent from New (Means, who appears to understand the nature of the terrible epidemic, thus graphically pi©» tares it forth.

The strong stnesred man sleeps at night revetting in beaatiful dreams, bat as he awakes in the mom, all the fires of a volcano teasa concentrated in Us homing brain.

The gross cash receipts of The Metropolitan Hotel, New York, for the year ending September 1, 1853, were 9500,000 of which about twenty per cent were profits.

The Catholic clergyman at North Bridgeport Conn., enjoins thai none of his people shall bail a rumseller. •A married couple,' says the Gazette des Tribunaux. 'after living together on bad terms for some timo resolved a few days ago to separate. They sold off all their furniture but finding that the sum realized not very important, they proposed to commit suicide and they went to the Canal Saint Martin to execute the design. The husband leaped in first, but after a while, being a capital swimmer, he raised his head above water, and perceived his wffe quietly atanding on the bank watching him. He began abusing her, and said that according to their conventions, she ought to drown herself. Instead however of complying, ahe accused him of intending to let her drown whilst he saved himself by swimming. He called on her to plunge in at once, without any more talk: but she refused. Thereupon he gol out of the water, and gave her a tremendous thrashing. Some persons who, came up. went (o seek the guard, and the loving pair were arrested. On being questioned they made the feels known."

Afire occurred in Michigan City, last Thusdsy night, destroying about forty buildings and many goods. Part only were insured.

HOGS.—We hear of no contracts in this vicinity for hogs. It any have been here, they are strictly private.

GREELEY A Mess.—During the recent session of the woman'a rights convention at New York, great confusion prevailed. In the midst of the row, Horace was observed mixed up in a "muss" in the gallery, lie desired to put out a man who hissed the the speaker. Greeley said he hkd no right to do so. The man ssid he had paid his money, end had right to choose whether he would hiss or applaud, and threatened to punch Greeley's head. Greeley was also pugnacious, but the parties were finally separated.

Old and cw Friends.

There is no greater fallaoy than that which leads us lo rely for favors on ihe sympathy of what are by courtesy called old friends—that is to say near relatives, close neighbors or our own companions. There is no comparison between the cold oallousness of such and the vigorous warmth of new-formed and chance-chosen connexions. Old friends have been made for us—new ones are our own making. Our measure, so to express, it has never been taken for the first. No wonder they fit so ill, and hang so loosely.

Yet when a man staris in life, he Is so proud of his "old friends." and what is worse, so sure of litem! He reckons his importance in proportion lo the number of those reeds, which are not broken only hecause he does not happen to have leaned on tlicm—ar.d the hypocrite world to whom he boasts of his imagined jewels, never has the candor to tell him they are paste. But he finds out the truth!

Owen County.

We were absent two days last week on visit lo Owen county, and propose lo short account of our trip. We shall sp« more particularly of the little towns passed through.

Cloverdale, in this county, ten miles of Greencastle, is a beautiful little pl£ci, and improving very rapidly. It is on th#Ine of the N. A. & S. Railroad, and nustlera about 300 inhabitants. Il^has sev goods and one clothing atore. Theyiave also two nest churches and a Masonigand Sons of Temperance Lodge. Froq this place we went lo

Gorport, a distance of 15 miles, from Greencastle. This place is im very rapidly,and the cilizena claim a tion of 1000. There has been more at this place the present season many years before. The chills an the general complaint. Some on while there, that there had been cases in town at one timet While called on our brethren of the Chrodtype of* gee. One of the gentlemen conn#ed with the establishment is a blind man an^etstype remarkbly well. He is the first blV printer we have ever come ecross.

The Wester* Ho? and Cattle Crop. The prospect of the coming season throughout Kentucky, and we believe Ohio, and Indiana, are favorable for an increase over last year. In Kentucky tt is said the num* hers of hogs is unprecedented, and as the corn crop will be an average one, they can all be fattened. A lettter from a farmer in Mason county. Kentucky, says:

Stock hogs are 93 per hundred, gross, and freely ofiered. Fat hogs refused at the same price. The amount of old corn is conaiderable at 91.50 per bbl in the crib. New corn is selling at 91.85 per bbl in the field.

Cattle coming in to winter and fall beef ore scarcer than I ever knew them. I am now gracing 700 cattle—only 109 of them will be fit for killing this fall, whereas usu* ally one half would have been good beef.— I found it utterly impossible 'in Kentucky lo get aged cattle for grazing fat. Beef is six cents per pound here now, and must ad« vance with the fall demand.

The California trade has taken most of the extreme western cattle, and oxen have been bought in this country for that market. Tennessee has even been hunted over fur oxen, to feed tor Ihe New York market, by Kentuckians and Ohioans.
