But what gae the greatest atisfaetion to tlie visiters was the mode f instruction adopted by the Principal, vlr. Wilkinson. This is spoken of by .hem in the highest terms of connnen hi:ion. From the great inducements held; out by this Institution, we lake great pleasure in recur, mending it to the public. The prcst.it term commenced on W ednes-d-.'.y last. (nv(nik"i of Editors. It has been proposed that the F.d'uors of newspapers in this State, should assemble at Indianapolis during the next month, for the purpose of forming a Convention to consult npon measures )-r the benefit of the craft. We are in favor of tins Pleasure. It is absolutely necessary that rules should be adopted and adhered toby every editor in the State who is desirous of shielding himself from the many evils tlvat now exist The Editor of the 'Western Constellation in remarking on this subject, snys "It is a fact beyond contradiction, that many of the publi.-hers of papers are forced to relinquish the pursuit, owing, either to the scathv support which they rereceive, or the many losses which they sustain in the payment of an equivalent for their hVr. It is a tact too, that the printer's bill is almost the last one to be paid, and if the process of compulsion be attempted, why the necessary consequence i the !o.-s of subscribers;, and as a matter of course, the downfall of the press. Few. very few, arc aware of the hardships of an Editor's life the anxieties and almost ceaseless toil, which he undergoes, for the purpose of pleasing those to whom he is indebted for patronage, and few, very few, know how poorly his anxieties and his tons are remunerated. W e therefore., for one give our sanction to the propriety of such a convention, and hope that everv other Editor in the State will do likewise." . Fire! We learn that a letter has been received in town from the Hon. J. W. Davis, our Representative in Congress, stating, that on the morning of the 15th inst. the building occupied by the Post Office-Department, together with the Patent Office and the City Post Office, were totally destroyed by fire with their contents. It is but three years since the Treasury Department was destroyed in the same manner. Amos Kendall, the present Post Master General, was then Fourth Auditor of the Treasury. Since writing the above, we have received the following per mail: prom the National Intelligencer. DISASTROUS CONFLACItATIONJ THE GENERVL POST OFFICE AND rATF.NT OFFICE, IX ASI1LS. It is with no ordinary regret that we perform the duty of announcing the destruction, bv Fire, of the building in the t.,t rt C ttii riu- which has for mnnv vears been occupied hv- the General Post Office, the Patent-Office, and the fltv Pnst-Office. with an import mt part f the contents of those building?, inclu ding the entire contents of the two latter. This calamity, great as it is, ha3 long been feared by those old residents of Washington who knew the combustible nature of the building, (the floors being all of wood, end some of them not even counter-sealed, cr.d the custom of stowing fuel, not onlv coal, but wood, in the vaults underneath the first floor. The calamity h come at last, and affords the second demonstration, vhhin four years of th

utter absurdity and improvidence ot the structures to wliich the public archives, records, and CJovcrnment accounts have been hitherto for the most part confided. The first alarm of (ire was given by Mr. Crown, a Messenger, ho usually sleeps in the room connected with the City PostOffice, (the Postmaster's own room.) The Clerks had been at ivork, assorting the mails, until half past 2 o'clock, when one of the persons belonging to the Ollice (Mr. Lansp u.K,) passed out of the East door, and along the whole front of the buildin?, without discovering nnv thing to give rise to a suspicion of danger. Not long

after three o'clock, Mr. Crown was rous ed front a slight slumber by the sme.'l ol smoke. Opening the door of the CityPost Office, he perceived a dense smoke, without anv visible appearance of fire. He gave the alarm instantly, first rousing Mr. Cox, one of the Clerks, who slept in a back room adjoining the Post Office, and who, coming out of the door of his room, passed along the whole of the long room with ditnculty, through the smoke, hearing the fire crackling, but being unable to see any thing-. """The watchmen in the body of the building, some distance from the City Post Office, had perceived nothing of the smoke, until they, also, were alarmed by Mr. Crown. The hour of the night when all this took place being one when the whole world is buned in the deepest sleep, it was found almost impossible to spread the alarm of Pire. One of the church bells began to ting, but the ringer, not seeing any flame ceased ringing almost as soon as he began, and it was a full half hour before the alarm bells were rung, and more than that time before an engine or a bucket of water could be commanded. As it was, the tire had its own way, and was at last seen in the vault or cellar linmeiliatelv under the delivery window of the City Post-Of fice; followed shortly afterwards by flames from the windows of the latter, and, with in live minutes afterwards by flames from the roof, the lire having crept up along the stair-cases or partitions to the ton of the building before it broke out below. Prom the moment of the flames burst ing out from the lower buildings, it was obvious that all hope of saving the buildin? was in vain. In little more than roi ),",. t!,e whole inteiior ol the and its contents were destroyed. The booki of the General Post Office were all, or nearly all, saved, cxe.tions ha aving been made for their safety from nearly the first moment of the alarm; a mass of paver, A:.', belonging U; but the Ofiiee were destroyed. Not any tiling nt-Olliee or the vers save d fi rem the li City Post-Office, the volume of the smoke prevented any body from penetrating the latter, so as to save any tiling. As lo the origin of the fire, it is impossible to say any thing, for nothing seems to he known of it, except thin it vvns in a cellar or vault, in which pine wood and coal were stowed, all of which were pro bably in a state id' ignition before the lire disclosed itself to the eye. We the more willingly forbear any conjecture as to the cause of the lire, since both Houses of Congress have taken steps, through Committees, to investigate it. and in one House v. ith power to send for person mid papcrs. Most fortunately, the i.igln V3 calm and comparativ civ .-erene, or the destruction of private property would have been inevitable and great. Had it oeeured on the night previous, when the wind blew ahnost a hurricane, several squares of valuable buildings must have been destroyed. The means of the city for extinguishing tires, are wholly inadequate to the value of the property at stake; and the sources for the supply of water for the engines are limited to their extent as well as precarious. We trust that the lesson we have just received, will not be lost on those who have it in their power to supply the remedy. Of all the amount of loss of papers and property sustained by this disaster, that which is most to be regretted (because irreparable) is that of the whole of the repository of models of machines in the Patent Office. I he mouldering ashes now only remain of that collected evidence of the penetration, ingenuity, and enterprise which peculiarly distinguish the descendants of Europe in the Western World. From the Indianapolis Journal . LEGISLATIVE. In the Senate, but few general objects of interest have been acted on. A considerable amount of business, however, has been referred to standing and select com mittees, in the form of petitions, and resolutions, upon wliich reports may soon be expected. Among the bills which have passed, is one providing lor accepting and receiving the share of the surplus revenue to which Indiana will be entitled under the distribution bill of last session of Congress. To the passage of the bill, there was no dissenting voice. Among the bills pending, is one introduced by Mr. ! Siolkr of Putnam, some days ago, to in- j coiporate the Indiana University, which passed to a second reading by consent, ' aiul which will most probably pass with

but little, if any opposition. fThis is , w liich he retired in .March. 181 t, lo his the University which is about being eslab-i seat called Montpelier, in Orange County. li!ied under the patronage of tiie Confer-; Virginia; where he has ever since resided, enceof the Methodist Episcopal Church, 1 except when attending an Agricultural Soand which was, by a vote of the late eon- cicty. of which he was long President

risiiicnou every where io-exu usive w ith the counties. Uniformity, both in respect to county and township business, is peculiarly desirably. Little has finally been acted upon as yet by the House. A Pill has passed both Houses accepting that portion of the surplus revenue to which Indiana by the act of Congress may be entitled. It is a question yet to bo decided, what disposition to make of this money about one million and a half. A bill, sunlemcntul to

the bill providing for a general system of Internal Improvement has passed the second reading, and is now under discussion, on a question of indefinate postponement. If this question should be lost, and the Bill finally pass both Houses, there will no longer he a question as to what object shall this million and a half be applied for that bill calls for (wo millions though is yet be entirely uncertain what will be its fate, even in the House, and much more in the senate. The discussion on the bill is warm and animated. Already has one half day been consumed. The first speaker was Mr. Owen of Posey who addressed the House in a very beautiful and elegant speech of one hour, alhumding in historical information, fine classical allusion, and decked with flowers, culled from mount Parnasus. He was in favor of the Bill. Mr. Evans against the bill, followed Mr. Ow en, and being an old debator, and skilled in the use of the shield and the arrow, he handled Mr. Owen a young nmn with 'ungloved fingers.' Mr. Engleston addressed the House in favor of the Bill, in a very mild and clear manner. He was followed by Mr. Speaker, in a most forcible and lucid address of about one hour s length. Mr. Speaker, one of the originators of the bill of last winter, believing that the passage of the present bill would be ruinous to the system, and break dow n the credit of the .Suite, was really enthusiastic in his speech. We shall be able to ojv0 to our readers, at least a hrirf of the remarks of members on this important subject, after the debate is through. The several standing committees have a great crow d of business before them, but until reports from them ;ire received, we cannot tell what will be the important subjects of legislation during die present session. MR. mADISON. The annexed biographical sketch of this illustrious man is said to be correct: James Madison, late President of the t lined, was the son of James; Madison, of Orange Co. Va., and Nelly Conway, his wile and could trace bacK his paieiir.d anceslers as inhabitants of Virginia, for about cue hundred years previous to his birth, which took place at the house of his mate rnal Grandmother in Port Con way, on the Happahaimock l'iver, March 1 li, 1751. lie was educated by Mr. f'oliinson, a Scotchman, in King and (Juetn County, and bv the llev.

In the following winter he was elected by the General Assembly a member of the Executive Council, where he continued to serve until the winter of 177U -80, when he was elected hv- the General Assembly a member of the Continental Congress, of which body lie remained a member until the autumn of 1785.

On the accession of Mr. Jefferson to the Presidency in 1801, Mr. Madison was appointed Secretary of State, and eight years thereafter he succeeded his great friend and coadjutor as President of the United States, to which high station he was reelected for a second term, at the end of as a Vis tor end Rector of the University Virginia and as a member of the State Convention to amend the Constitution of Virginia, to which the people ol took his departure on the 28th ultimo, in the 8Gth year of his age. from the theatre' of his usefulness to that of his rewards.

ILc V.'at.r SMa2i ca Tajcr. It is commonly known thai paper writing paper particularly-gensraily bears what is callod a tva'cr mark , which is distinctly visible when tin sheet is held between the eye and the liht. The mark is sometimes the name, or the initials of the name of the manufacturer, or some device with the date of the year when the paper was made. To the Jlnoo domini mark, much importance has been attached in Courts of Justice in England especially, as "documentary links" in the chain of circumstantial evidence. A recent writer on this subject in a London paper, relates several of many instances of judicial decisions, founded on this mark. In the year 1822, the immediate relatives of a Thomas Taylor, of Hudderslield, contested the will of the testator, by which his property was bequeathed to some distant branches of the family. Affidavits were put in that at the near approach of death, but at the same time in the possession of his faculties, he made a laconic will on a sheet of "foolscap." Judge Stowell, regretted that lie was obliged to deny the correctness of the depositions of the subscribing wintnesses to the will and testament of the defunct gentlemen, because the testator, who was said to have made the will, "revoking all others," subscribed it in the middle of November, 1820, w hereas the very sheet of paper bore the water-mark of 1821! During the time that Sergeant Bemmington presided in the Insolvent Debtor's Court, Moses Mrrcus applied for his discharge. As a London agent to sev eral foreign houses, he, in the latter end of 1 S.'JO became the consignee of considerable property, and speedily became the inmate of the Fleet. In order to prove the manner in wliich he had disposed of the consigners' property during the last three months of the preceding year, he put in a book, and swore positively that the entries were made on the day therein stated. The sergeant took a transparent view of one of the leaves of the ledger, which he indignantly hurled to the floor of the court, observing, "Your petition is dismissed; for the paper was made in the year after the entries bear date." The w riter, however, mentions as a singular circumstance, that he had obtained tiom an officer of that very court, a document wliich contains the water-mark ol" the firm of an extensive paper maker, and to

There is a colored man named George Washington Jefferson, residing in a most magnificent villa near Brighton, England. His income from investments in the national funds alone, is over 10.000 (S50,000) per annum. Besides this he has 20, 000 in Bank of England slock, and is also partner in an extensive country bank, Jefferson took a conspicuous part in the Havtien revolution of 1707, and went to England in 1801, when Jaques 1st Emperor of Hayti, ascended the throne. He was then a great sickler for democracy, and hence assumed the name he goes by. It is supposed he had considerable property when he went to London. Bout. 'Fran. Bad News for Sonc of Us.

The question is often asked why the title of speaker, in the house of representatives, is giv en to the only member who has no right to speak. The answer is found by tracing this title to its origin. It is stated in the 'random recollection of the house of commons,' that 'the title is given to him, (the chief officer of that house) because he alone has the right to speak to or address the king in the name or behalf of the House." It seems, then, that this title, in our legislative assemblies, is but an un meaning imitation of the English one. Should not the more significant title of the President, be substituted for it!
