Our city is not yet the Pvrkopolis ofludi sn.t, Madison as yet, claiming that title, but our facilitins for packing at.d constant increste in the number of purchasers we confidently predict will soon place TerreHaute above all competition from her sister cities of the State. The number packed this year at Greeoastle, and the increase at Indianapolis, account for the falling off at this place the present season.

Terre-Iluate At Richmond Rail Road. The annual mooting of tho Board of Directors of this Road met on yesterday. The old Directory made their report, and the new Board was aworn in. The following officers were eleoted for the current yetr.

The receipts of the Road for the past year Juve been upwards of 9177,000. A dividend of four per cent was declared upon the oapiitl stock.

Sou fenced to the Peaitaatiarr* Oeorgo Burlon, Thos. Uayden.and Win, iSmitlt, the three individual*, mentioned in our lest, as having been reoognised to the ^yCircuit Court, for Burglary, Robbery Sta were taken before the Court of Common

Pleas oti Friday Morning last, and tried for liheir offence, under that provision of the l*iatute giving the Court of Common Pleas jurisdiction in oases of Felony, where the defendant are in custody Wiien called upon for trial they filed an application fur a change of venue, on aooount of the prejudice in the community against them, but Judge KtttMKY, overruled their application. They Were acoordioly arraigned before iho court, ^jpon the charge of Burglary, in breaking into the Millinery Shop of Nimrod Sparks, tried by a Jury, and sentenced each to /Iee/ee years imprisonment at the States Prison, and a fine of two hundred and twenty five dollars each. This is certainly a severe punishment, but the heluousness of the offonoe was such as to require the sternest demand of the law. The defendants were allyoug meu, neither of*whom probably over twenty-five years of ago, and Smith the youngest, apparently not twenty one.— The verdict was greeted, we regret to say, with applause by the multitude. Suoh a proceeding was certainly disgraceful, and to a matt of any refinement of feeling. perfectly dastardly. It were (lattery to oall that man a cotoard, w&o would, it» the presence and hearing of a fallen man, crow over and applaud his degradation I lie Certainly must be dead to all the litter feelings and seuttmeois of a mam who could exul:i»gly applaud the «tero decree of the law, which deprives a fellow being of hi* liberty, and consigns him to the ignominy of a felon's lot. Such an txlubition of malignity and vindicUvetwws would better fee* uome an inhabitant of the Cannibal blend* than an American Cttiwn, Tt»e defendant* bore the verdict not without flinching. To the youngest one, t» appeared to unman him. be hung his bead in dejection, apparently overcome. OhI what a warning lo the young, and those who hate taken their 6r»t step w» crime.

must coufess that this most cordial reception of stranger (i will not say stranger. (or I have many old and tried friends among you) to tbe Capital of Oregon, oo the purl of the citizens you represent, is aa Daiteriug and gratifying to my feelings as it is unexpected. Yon have taken me by aurpriae, and I'm not prepared to return in the same manner in which they bare been of iered, my thanks, for tbe high honor and marked respect which the citizens through you have ibis day conferred. You have been kind enough to refer to my public career, and the satisfaction expressed by the people of Oregon at my appointment aa Governor of your Territory. "I expressed to Piesidotit Pierce a hesitancy in entering upon this new field of public duty, having had no experience as the Chief Justice of any State or Territory. But I assure the people of Oregon, through you. air. that it aball be my only aim and labor as their governor, to aocure to them the largest liberties, and all the right of which American citizens claim the fullest exerci«e. And if there aball be an error in any of my oflicial acts, I assure you It will be an error of the head and not of the heart. And it is my pleasure lo hope that our acquaintance as oificers of this young and growing territory, may continue as agreably as it has begun. Cntertsioing these sentiments, moat sincerely, (thank the people, through you for this reception aud again 1 thank yt»u." ,,

ScncvLBa COLFAX Esq., the gentlemanly Editor of the South Bend Register, one of the first Wnig papers in Indians, delivered sn address upon Odd Fellowship at the Court House on Saturday Evening last. He is a pleasant Speaker, and no one is better acquainted with, or more zealous in the aubjeot which was the theme of his discourse, ile has long stood at the head of that order in this State, and is widely and favorably known as the author of the degree of Rebeckah, or the Ladies' Degree in Odd Fellowship. He is the respeoted father of this Degree, but the father of nothing else! It it rarely our pleasure to meet with a more agreeable gentleman.

Liberia.

'The New Yoik Jouruaf of Cfommel-ce has intelligence from Liberia of tbe latest date. .• i:v, tv-

Tbe Liberia^ Herald aiairs thtt their communication from England is monthly, and the aieamers arrive regularly. The first ship of another British line of, ateamer^ ia expected in October next.

Prince Boyer, of Tradetown, had met President Roberts on a foreign vessel at Tradetown, and promised to obey the Liberian laws aud give speedy evidence of tbe sincerity of hia regret for past injuries. In fulfilment of this pledge, he had given information of the presence of a polacca Spanish vcsael, tempting him to trade in slaves. The (act that he first received tbe Kpauiard'a doubloons, and then frightened him away before the Liberian authorities could intercept him, suggests a doubt whether it was the act of a penitent, or a scheme of plunder and roguery. The editor of the Liberia Herald seems to have a moat earnest desire to aee Boyer, Grondo, and Geo. Cain, three turbulent natives, humbled or punish jd and urges the necessity of this for the peace and prosperity of the country^****^-'I,a

We find several notices of the last election, and transfer the results as follows: I President—J. J. Roberts.

Vice Presidenl-~&. A. Benson. Quite a trade is growing up in the Republic, and many make money in trafficking with the natives. Among the items ot news we find the following "A ready market will be found in Liberia for six or more vessels, well built, coppered, cop|fer fastened, and drawing alight draA of water. Their burthen should be from 60 to 100 tons.

The natives residing within our jurisdiction are not inclined to revive the slave trade. On* exception, perhaps, may be made, and that is Prince Manna, of the Gallinas. He is capable of committing any act, however dishonorable, if there is a possibility of his being a gainer in the end. 'VJ nwt

When new* was "received at Washington of the perilous position of the steamship San Francisco, having on board nearly a thousand U. S. troops, the Secretary of the Navy telegraphed to the commanding officers of the Navy Yard at New York to charier a vessel to go in search of h«r. Those officers immediately went to Capt. Vanderbilt, owner of tho North Star, and endeavored to procure her, but wa* refused. After vainly endeavoring to procure some other vessel, they again asked Vanderbilt for bis ship, but were again refused. This man Vanderbilt, bloated with wealth, it will bo remembered, aailed all around Europe with this ateamer. oo a "pleasure excursion

but

when the government, with a view to save the lives of hundred of human beings in distress, applied for the uso of tbo vessel, they twice mot with a point blank refusal.— We know of no language too aerero to applvtjstfCh conduct.

Orrsex^or Acnrroa or STATE. Indianapolis, Dee. 19, 1863.

To TowNsmr -ASSESSOSS~De*r Sir:— (n taking down your assessment according to statement No. 2,?for Taxation, as required by Sec. 23 of the Assessment law, you wiQ at tbe same time be careful to get the statements demanded by Section 73 of same law.

The cfject of Sec. S3 is to gel the amount of Taxable property which may boon band on the firat day of January, while the design of Section 73, is to get at the entire products of the State for one year, and in order to get at these facte, it may be proper for you to state to Fanners and Mechanics, that the object of this Agricultural atatement is not for the purpose of Taxation, but for statist! cat Information, so our people at home and our neighbors abroad, may see our Agricultural progress.

The columns ruled on Statement No. 2 are for the number aud value of Taxable property, oo hand on the 1st of January the column* designed for statistical information were omitted by mistake to be ruled.

You can, however, find room, just at the right of the printed articles named, and to the left of the ruled columns, for tbe number and value of tbe entire products for the year previous to the first of January, 1855. It is very important that the entire products of the State, both Mechanical and Agricultural, should be returned by the Assessors. who alone can obtain such valuable information. Hence, we hope you wilt pay particular attention to the suggestions herein contained. Very respecfully, your obedient servants ijJOHN P. DUNN, .»«•*"* Auditor of Slate.

A "WINDFALL" WOHTH HAVING.—It will be remembered that there was quite a sensation among the universal Jennings family of America a few years ago, in endeavoring to find heirs to an immense estate in England. known as the Jenmng'j Estate.'*— Among the many claimants of heirship was a Mr. Hector Jennings, of Sandusky City. Ohio, who appears in the end to inherit this immense property. The Sandusky ''Register" says that Mr Jennings has received tetters from his attorney who has just returned from England, informing him ot the oomplete validity of his claim as one of two heirs to this immense estate, which amounts to over sixty millions of dollar»/ tie has been a resident of Sandusky city seventeen years. How ho can survive this attaok of the 'Evil Doer/ is impossible for us to say, but he has no doubt, ere this, received the disinterested consolation of his numerous friends, as well as the promises of aid in assisting him to bear his burtheu of "The ills o' life." wi 'H'j
