7 Be Aspect of the Bay.
The daoizetta ©f our eiliaa ir« beginning to realize (he fact* tbst if these are not times tlist try men's seals, they do tbeir purses. It is well known that ia ibe great centres of trade and business, there is much stringency io the money market, so much so, that funds can only be bad at high rate* of interest, in New York City, as nmcli a* three per cent per month. Those who have involved thecr.svlves deeply in debt, have found it difficult to stiatsi»»themselves, aiid not a few have "gone t»y the board." This atate of titinga was reasonably to be expected, for never before has there bees exhibited in the country such recklessness and extravagance. Every body has been going in debt. The whole country hat progressed, everywhere, at a rale unprecedented. Improvements of all kiuds have progressed with the greatest rapidity. Schemes which a few years ago would have been regarded as wild and chimerical are now entered into and promptly accomplish' ed. Much of this progress has been real and substsntisl, but some of it only spparent. California has poured into our lap her tone of Gold, and the question wan raised, if the superabundsnce of Ibis metal would not prevent its further use ss a circulating medium. Credit hss hitherto abounded everywhere, and banks Ituve Hood' •d the country with their issue. Thousands of„miles of rsilrosd have been undertaken snd money borrowed to complete them. What the result of all this will be. remsins to be seen. Some fearful forboder* apprehend that we may have a repetition ol the scenes of 1837. This, we believe, to be out of the question, in spite of the caieer of reckless extravagance and expenditure which our country has entered upon tr.crc can never he, we opine, another such a revulsion. The general activity of every branch of business, the energy and impuUe lately given the country by its many improvements, all this indicate that a repetition of that fliioticial revulsion can never agsin take place among us. Our importstiona are daily decreasing, and our sapor* tstioti* are increasing. The staple products of the country are bringing fine prices, and are in much demand. The danger of general European war is not so eminent.— California is still pouring her gold into our lap. The balance of trade is but little sgaintt us. if any at all. and in spite of over trading, over bonking, and wild speculation, a audden revulsion need be apprehended by none. W« are pleased to know that the stringency in the money market elsewhere, has not, aa vet affected our enter priaing community, and no feara are enter tained that it will
GJr We have undoubtedly been guilty of many foolish things since we began our ed itorial career, and may yet be guilty of many more, but we shall try io avoid being so supremely foolish as to involve oursrlf in a controversy with our cotemperary of the (jreenoastle Sentinel, about the New York difficulty. We profess to have no affinity or sympathy whatever with any of the discordant factions in that State, nor with any of their cut-throat political leaders. We believe that the stain of abolitionism is alike indelibly stamped upon them all, llsrd*. Soils. Hunkers, Silver Greys, Barnburners, dte., and lor a democratic paper here, out west, to take up the battle axe of one faction •gainai another, is simply ridiculous. We are satisfied that this disseniioit in the party in New York, was originated for the pur pose of breaking down the present administration, and with a vjew to elevate a favor* ite aspirant for the succession in 1866,-— We shall support ihe administration chosen by the democracy of the country, and those whose only object it is to break that sdmir. 1st ration down, are not the proper ones rebuke us for ain sentiment ve may utter, t»r dictate to u* in regard to our course.
(£r The first lecture of the course before the Mechanic's Historical Society was delivered on Friday evening last, at the Universalis* Church by Rrr. \V.

OCT The Supreme Court of the State is now in session at Indianapolis We understand from a gentleman of the bar here, who has been in attendance, that the Court baa decided the new Dqour Law of the State to be unconstitutional, and that pro* viaion ol the la» nquiring Townships to vote for or against Licence" t» be null and void.

OCT Quite an interesting and exciting squabble occurred between two legal limhs of this place, at E*q. Ray's office, in the Livery Stable, on Saturday last. One of the legal gents, having mule a remark to which the other took offence, the latter seized large wood ink stand, upon the table before him, and threw it violently at the head of the first gentleman aforesaid, which missing him, the contents flew most copiously over the jury, bystanders, dee., to their great dismay. The pugnaciooa disciples of Bi'ack«tone were seperated before any other injury waa inflicted, a great deal more ink than blood having been spilt in the i-ncountcr. One of the Jurymen, self-complacent old geotlemsn. Hitting the fear of the inkstand, and its content* before his eyes, beat a precipi tate retreat from the office, declaring that he would sit upon no Jury, where the pure stream* of Justice were permitted thus to be blackened, with impunity. Tbe intervention of a Constable was necessary to effect bia r^jarn to tbe Jury box.
03r It is a aolemn fact, that the great city of Terre Iisute, with her 6.000 population, ber Mayor and Common Council, her four intTes'ing and elegant new#papera, her thirty lawyers and hosts of litigsuts, can't afford one suitable tenement for a single Township M»gi»trstes' office. Tbe only officiating functionary of that sort in this city, now administers justice "between man and man," in the south west corner of an old ricketty Livery Stable on Market Street.
NETTMFCSRER'S CONFECTIONARY.—See the advertisement of the redoubtable NcattESTRtsa in to-dsy's paper. They have recently removed their establishment to Fourth Street,opposite the New Post Office Building where they are fitted up in an elegant style The way they get up Cakec and other fix ings for a party ihere, astonishing. We speak partially from experience, and a cake lately made by them for a Wedding party, in this place, speaks the balance.
OCT See the advertisement of KICBARD JACJCSOJ*. who advertises a Slock of Goods which must be disposed of, at any price in four weeks. There's a chance for rare bargains. The Siock is al the Store Room formerly occupied by J, W. Stewart.
Mr. GKO. W. SHAFPKK, the enterprising proprietor of the Builder's Depot, has re cently made some very valuable additions to his establishment, in the line of Machinery, which are worthy of public attention. A large Sawing, Plwimg and Morticing Ma chine, has recently been added, lie has now the largest stock ol Sash, Blinds, Door*, &o ever offered in this market, all of which he will dispose of at the lowest figure.
GRAHAM'S MAGAZINE.—We neglected to notice last we«*k, the receipt of the December number of this highly popular Mag axific We find that it is closing the year very hsndsomly. "Graham" makes the •special announcement" that ha will commence in the March No. of his Magazine, "AN ll.Lt'STSATKD LLFB Of GfiN. WASUINOTON," by the well known writer, J. T. HEADLKT. author of "Napoleon and his Marslmla." The subject will afford the author scope and verge enough for the display of his brilliant talent* as a writer. The illustration will be executed in the highest style of artistic beauty. Among the contributors to the volume for 18M, he announces Mrs. Ann S Stephen*, E. Anna Lewis, Grace Greenwood, William Cullen Bryant, Henry W. Longfellow. John G. Saxe and a boat of other literary lights. "Graham" appears to be in earnest lor 1654.
Ttts LADY'S Boos.-We have received the Deo, No. of this deservedly popular periodical, and find that it fully sustains it's former high character as a oaterer to the tatte and fancy of the "Softer aex." The enterprising publisher announces that he is determined that the coming volume wilt not be behind its predecessors. The Ladies of the Union owe muoh to Mr. Godey for his efforts to publish a Magasine which so beautifully represents their delicacy and purity of character.
OCT "Wars and rumors of wars" are still rife in Kurops. We aee from telegraphic despatches that three battles have been fougnt between the Turks and Russians, in ail of which the former proved victors* the latter being compelled to retreat. All pro* positions have been rejected by the Grand Sultan, and the contest may now be regarded as fairly began. Our sympathies are decidedly in favor of the followers of Mahomet, especially in a contest against that awiul incarnation of Despotism—Russia.— "Phis war may yet involve all Europe.

HOGS.—The Msdison Courier ot Wednesday says, The cold, bracing weather yesterday had the effect of putting all the slsughter houses in operation to-day. We have nothing new as to price. #4 appears to be the outside, or highest rates. 1.200 bogs were sold yesterday in Cincinnati at 94. and there were more sellers than buyers st that figure. At Louisville the market is reported JUtl, .and that sny quantity of hgs could be had at 84.

The Demopolis Sentinel thus plainly discourses upon this subject: -The fate of an editor is beyond question a hard one. Other kinds ot business h«ve intervals of relaxation, in which the energies of the mind are invigorated by change but there is no rest for et h*r publisher or editor. It is hist duty to cater to the amusement of his readers, and in seeking to perform this part of his duty, ba chains himself down, and whil«- the laugh is tneriiy ringing aa dtrr kit ofice, and every body is exulting itt exemption from labor he is tsxing every faculty, turning his brains *topsy turvy'—ransacking huge piles of insipid papers inquest of something for his readers.
Those who hsve never felt the necessity of writing, regardless of the condition of the body or the trams" of mind can form no adequate conception of the hardships of the editorial life. When he has written, then comes the tug. Every blockhead ^has to piek at and criticise his articles. The grave and the phlegmatic have no relish for anecdotes, and the devil-may-care sort of a fellow thinks that too much space is devoted *io grave matters—the house-wifo scolds h«r husband for taking the paper because there are no receipts in it for msking pies or curing whooping cough—old maids are angry because no more marriages are announced. Thus it is that an editor can never please everybody.
My notions about life. sa\s Southey, are ihe same as they are ahout traveling—there is a great deal of amusement ou the road, but after all, one wants to be at rest.

HENRY PIERCE.

With regard to the above Company I would say tha* the loss suslnined on my property, which occurred at the same tlim, was equally as promptly and satisfactorily settled by G. W. 8cliu»bel, of CoustanUoe, general Agent. I can therefore roost confidently recommend the shove Company to the Insorlng public for I consider such promptness s« unprecedented, on llie part of lusarauc
Companies, as It is gratifying' JOHN WURSTER. Dated Goshen, Ind., Sept. 23,1853-
