The performance will be in the large room of the church. The attendance of the parents and friends f tho pupils, and others interested in the matter, is desirable, and we presume, will bt a pleasure to themselves. rUBLIC LANDS. "A bill to regulate and restrict the payments for Public Lands has been reported to the Senate of the United States, by Mr. Walker from the Committee on Public Lands. The bill provides that, the payments for lands shall be in notes of Banks, which do not issue notes of a less denomination than five dollars: and in effect rfscinds the Treasury Order requiring specie:' fCT'Thc bill above alluded to, has passed the Senate of the U. S. by a vote of 25 3ycs to 18 nays; and we feel certain it will pass the House of Representatives, without trouble: thus the destructive speculation growing out of Mr. Secretary's party specie paying order, will again be arrested. We rejoice, and congratulate the people upon the abandonment hereafter, of the insufferable imposition the Treasury order has already inflicted. O0n Monday last the 6;h inst. our Legislature adjourned. The result of the session is yet in relation to many particulars, unknown to us. List of acts Rext week. The act of Congress to admit the state of Michigan into the Union, with a long preamble" of queer sayings, has passed both houses; and when signed by the President will be complete. Abolition Question. The celebrated Doctor Channing, has written a powerful and eloquent letter cm the Abolition question. He is not of the Tappan, or Fanny Wright school: he is one of the most pions, original and gifted scholars of the age-; and to meet and refute his arguments, will require the power of intellectual energy, added to the spirit of patriotism and truth. The following beautiful passage, (wc cannot resist its temptation of beauty an! precision,) will shew the style and tenor of the entire letter. "For these various descriptions of selfish opponents of abolitionism I make ns apology. Let them be vested with just rebuke. Hut they, after all, form but a small part of that great body in the free States who look on the present antislavery movements with distrust and disapprobation. The vast majority in the free States w ho refuse communion with you are not actuated bv base considera tions. The fear of servile war, the fear of nolitical convulsions, a perception of the diflicultics of great social changes, eelf-dtstrust, a dread f rashness, these and the lik motives have great influence in deterrm-r multitudes from giving their countenance to what seem to them violent movements for the abolition of slavery That a culpable insensibility to the evils and wrongs of this tiafarious institution is too common in the class 01 wnicn i now speak I do not mean to deny. Still, how vast a proportion of the intelligence, virtue, piety of the country, is to be fond in their ranks. To speak of them slight ly, contemtnously, bitterly, is to do grert wrong, ami sucti speaking, i iear, nas brought much reproach on abolitionism. The motives which have induced me to make this long communication to you w ill not, I trust, be misunderstood. I earnestly desire, my dear sir, that you and your associates will hold fast the right of free discussion by speecn ana me press, and at the same time that you will exer cise it as Christians and as friends of your That vou. sir, will not fail in these duties. I reioicc to believe.

I look with scorn on the selfish greatness of this world, and with pity on the most gifted and prosperous in the struggle for office and power; but I look with reverence on the obscurest man who suffers for the right, who is true to a good but persecuted cause. Extract of a letter front a gentleman t;i 1 andalia, received a J etc days since, dated Vandalia, Feb. 4, 1837. Friend Caddingfon An incident of very unpleasant charac ter, occurred here on Monday the 30th tilt. Mr. N. F. Linder, a member of the Illinois Bar, and a liepresentative from the county of Coles, was recently elected Attorney General of the State. The Hon. J. C. Ueily, a Senator from Lawrence, had voted against Mr. Linder, or rather for his competitor, for the Attorney Generalship. Mr. Linder was aggrieved, and on Monday last, upon going into a barbershop, somewhat intoxicated, saw Mr. Ueily, and made some insulting remarks in regard to Reiley's vote. This drew from Mr. Reiley, a severe and merited retort, and would have resulted in violence it is presumed, had not Mr. Linder immediate ly left, A gentleman present, expressed the opinion, that the remarks and conduct of Mr. Linder, 'evinced a pre-determ illation to provoke a quarrel, and had scarcely expressed that opinion, when the door was opened, and Mr. Linder entered with his cheeks Hushed and one hand in his pocket. Mr. Reily had just finished being shaved was tying on his cravat, and with his coat off, walked up to Mr. Linder, and asked him if his object in coming there a few minutes before, had been to provoke a quarrel? Mr. Linder replied in the negative. Mr. Reily then asked hinv, if he would stand to an honorable responsibility, as he must be sensible ha had offered an insult which could not be passed unnoticed. Mr. Linder said he would. Then, said Mr. Reiley, I call the attention of these gentlemen, (the Senator from Edwards, and the Auditor of Public Accounts) whilst I assure you, that you shall be called on this evening. Mr. Linder then i walked to the door, half opened it, and drawing a pistol larger than the -common j pocket pistol, loaded with four or five balls, lired at Mr. Riley, and wounded him in four places. Mr. Linder fled, supposing, perhaps, he had killed Riley, who, how-, ever, was but little injured. lie has not been confined a moment; but one of the balls would have caused death, had its force not been destroyed by striking up on his thick steel suspender buckle. Mr. Reiley was unarmed at the time, and was not in a menacing or approaching attitude. The subject was not taken up by the House of which Mr. Linder was a member, because Mr. Reiley dissuaded his friends from secH a course. He intended to hold Mr. Linder accountable, as an honorable man, and as filling an honorable station, and this determination was made known to Mr. Linder, through General Turney and Col. Larrc. Mr. Linder, however, made a full and sufficient written apology, which contains all that is necessary to satisfy any gentleman, and is so considered by the Hon. Senator from Lawrence. The subject created a very considerable excitement in Vandalia, in anticipation of the probable disastrous result; each of the gentlemen having a family. Mr. Reiley acted with a discreet and collected firmness, throughout the whole affair, and but one opinion prevails, as to live honorable and manly course he has taken. I believe the gentlemen now meet as friends. FOR THE VINCENNES GAZETTE. TO THE PEOPLE. A most important election is coming on, one in which your prosperity and happi ness is deeply concerned. A Governor, Lieut. Governor, member of Congress, two members of the Legislature, an Asso ciate Judge, and a Clerk and Recorder, are to be voted for. It is said that movements have been prolected at Indianapolis calculated to concen trate votes on candidates for district and county offices through local influence and clandestine arrangements. You will not. I trust, sanction such a system so well calculated to prevent a free expression of opinion, in relation to each candidate for every distinct and separate office. You should not permit the merits or demerits, the virtues nor the vices of candidates known to you, to attach to those whom you are acquainted with. My advice, therefore, 13 to discountenance all combi nation and caucus candidates; I mean those who rest their claims mostly upon partisan managoment, and bargain with each other for andeserved support. Make up your minds concerning- as many candidates known as you, particularly your county as you can, and you will then have mote time to devote to men and thiiiffs less un derstood. Your own interest requires that you should not let any combination deprive you of the services of those best qualified to be useful. Now is the time for investigation, before any scheme has been matured to deprive you of your long rlipris hfi oninions. The ffreat number of candidates for some offices, the posi lion which this part of the state occupies, the interestinc measures involved in the result, the usual arts resorted to by candi dates, independent of anv combination schemes, would justify this timHv warn , v '

ing; you may reasonably, therefore, anti

cipate a resort to the usual means employ ed to obtain your votes, and should not al low yourselves to be taken by surprise. In giving the above advice, I have been mainly led to do so, with the hope, that the good, the wise, and the patriotic, will, in defiance of all combination and design, concentrate a sufficiency ot their votes upon those whose past life gives the greatest assurance of fidelity, and whose talent entitles them to the olhce to which they aspire. By a judicious and timely exercise of judgment, there will be found enough in each county and district, to eflect what the honor of the state, and the good of all, so manifestly requires. 1. REPORT OF THE PRINCIPAL ENGINEER ON HO ADS AND RAILWAYS. New Albany and Vincennes M'Adamized Road. The location of this road, between New Albany and Paoli, was made and the work advertised for contract, previous to my entering into the service of the State. Previously to the time of letting, however, such information was communicated to me by the Resident Engineer, John Frazer, relative to the location, accompanied by profiles and plans of the mechanical superstructures, that I did not hesitate in giving it my approval. I he statement hereto attached, marked C, contains the same information res pecting this line, as tables A. and B. do, with regard to the lines to which thev have reference. From this statement it will be perceived, that the whole cost of this work is $207,793, and that the average cost per mile is 65,007. I his work, I believe, has been let on very favorable terms to the State and will, I have no doubt, be a source of profit hereafterr It was provided in the contracts on this road, as well as on the Madison and Lafayette rail road, that all rock not required for the construction of the work, should be considered the property of the State, and should be piled within the limits of the road. This provision being carried into effect, the cost of M'Adamizing this road will be materially lessened. Whenever the rock is of suitable quality for this purpose, the expense of transportation and quarrying is saved. hen unsuited to this purpose, it may be disposed of for other purposes. Should such disposi:on be made, the profits arising therefrom ac crue to the State, and are fairly deductible trom the cost of the work. flie metalic or M'Adamized covering of this road is proposed to be formed, as follows. The stone bvinsr three perches to the rod, for the first coat, is to be bro ken on the side of the road in continuous strings, and are to be reduced to a size not exccodinir four ounces in weight. After the stone thus broken, has been measured and approved by the Engineer, they arc to be thrown on the cenirel twenty feet of the road, with shovels, and during this process to be well raked, so as to in sure an even and compact distribution of the same. After the tirst coat of metal has been thus put on the road, and suffi ciently consolidated either by the action of the weather or travel, a second and third coat of the same number of perches to a rod will be put on, in the same manner, and with the same reference to its proper consolidation. These several coats of metal will form a covering of nine inches in thickness, which is thought to be sufficiently permanent for this road. Much care will however be required in keeping the road properly raked, and in making a proper distribution of travel over it, in order that a regular consolidation may be had. I his plan will require 2880 per ches of metal per mile; the cost I am unable to determine, not having sufficient personal knowledge of all the road. If the stone were delivered on the line of the road, the cost of the breaking, throwing on, raking and keeping in order the same until a proper consolidation is eflected, would be about 37 1-2 cents per perch, or S3, 37 1-2 per rod. The cost of stone requiring to be quarried and hauled to the road, must depend on the distance they are to be transported and the fa cility with which can be quarried; with those circumstances I am not conversant. ICT Permit me again to travel out of the sphere of what may seem to be my duty, and suggest the propriety of a speedy extension of this work to Vincenncs, the point on the Wabash river, contemplated by law. I he travel between New At bany and that place is immense; the pres ent road is bad; the growing importance of the country calls loudly for its improve ment. At the ordinary rates of tolls, a turnpike road cannot fail of paying more than the interest on its cost; if such opin ion be correct, the importance of this ex tension is obvious, vvhenever the tolls arising from any State work will pay the interest on its cost, and keep such work in repair, its expediency cannot be doubt ed, leading as such works always do, to the increase and population of the coun try, and a consequent increase of revenue to the State. In closing this report, permit me to acknowledge the services of the Resident Engineers on the several roads under my charge. The duties assigned to them have been performed with fidelity, and I hesitate not to say, that I will look to them hereafter with much confidence, for infor mation of, and co-operation in the execu tion of the works entrusted to my charge Permit me also to apologise for the late period of your receiving my report. The time of my entrance into your service is recent and much has been required to be done; circumstances of an uncontrolable nature have not even allowed me to devote the whole of this period to your

work. Such circumstances, it is hoped,

will not occur again. Very Respectfully. H. M. PETTIT, J'rincipal Engineer oi Railways and Uoads. 94" Correspondence of the Courier and Enq New Orleans, 10th January, 1837. NEW ORLEANS. It fell to my lot to be witness this morn ing to a most horrid murder and suicide. On crossing Dauphinee street at half past eleven, I heard a French female scream ing in the front parlor of a frame house, and a man swearing in Spanish. Three or four colored women and some boys were listening at the door, whilst 2 colored men had seized a whiteman in a narrow passage leading from the street to the back of the house. I followed them and soon found that the whiteman had just inflicted two wounds in his Iclt side, he fell senseless to the ground. We picked him up, and took him into the back parlor when sud denly a colored woman made her ap pearance crying out murder! rlie wretcned man had killed his I'etronclla, a fine quarterone thirty years of age or thereabouts. I instantly left the assassin and went into the front parlor in which I found the woman lying on the floor, bleeding profusely from her left breast, and speech less. i ith the help of three or four colored people we placed her on a bed, and sent for medical assistance and the police. On returning to the back parlor I perceived the man on the floor gave some signs of life. In reply to several ques tions I put to him in Spanish, he replied that he could not help what he had done, ana most sinceiely repented of it. He bagged the Almighty to forgive him. In the mean time a surgeon arrived, examin ed Petronela's wounds, and found her a corpse. He then proceeded to examine those of the man and pronounced them mortal. I was so terrified at the horrid spectacle before me, that I instantly left the room. 1 have since learned that the name of the man is Pedro Garces, a native of Spain, (a catalon) and one of the employers of tlie first municipality: he was living in the trench style, with the unfortunate Petronela, one of the courtisannes of the low quartier Francois, the very same woman with whom the Count of Montezuma, a xMexican emigrant who resided at New Orleans, and the last of the race of the Indian emperor Montezuma fell in love three months ago, and on whose account, shot himself in a fit of jealousy. it is Deneved that the same cause led Pe dro to commit murder and suicide. I enclose a slip of the Bulletin, con taining some news from Santiago de Cuba of the 15th December. This date is anterior to the late arrivals from Cadiz at Havana, with despatches from the Span ish government, approving of the con duct of Tacon, and recalling Lorenzo, who it was firmly believed would desist from his enterprize, and enter into some agreement with general Tacon. I he cotton market was very steady yesterday; abont 3000 bales were sold at the following prices: 219 Mississippi at 11 cents; 93; at 17; 35 at 17 1-1 Mis sissippi, merely assorted, fair, at 1C; 1050 at price unknown; 604 Louisiana, at 16 1-2. Holders arc not disposed to make any concessions to buyers. It has been ascertained that the stock at Liverpool is small, and that large orders are in the city to buy. Indeed soon after the arrival of the last advices from Enirlnnrt. hovers o - how too much engcrness to profit by the effect which said advices might produce here, that the holders should make the least concession, especially when, as observed in one of my preceeding letters, they arc limited by the planters. These, on their side know too well that the British manufactures must have cotton. Other causes contribute toward keeping up prices. Santa Anna Outlawed. The following intelligence, to be relied upon, will have an important influence up on the question of the acknowledgement ot the independence ot i exas. Merchants' Exchange Jfcivs loom, New Orleans, Jan. 11 8, P. M. I have just received the following im portant intelligence direct from the city of Mexico, that oanta Anna is declared by the present persons in power in Mexico, to be an outlaw, and all citizens of any of the Mexican States arc called on to shoot him should he again appear within the limits ot anv- ot the states or territorv of Mexico. Bustamentc has been invited to the head of Affairs there. Filisola has been tried and would have been condemned if the common people had not shown a disposi tion to protect him at all hazards. I also received advices from Nacogdo ches to 16th Dec. from which we learn that the United States troops were to march next day for Fort Gibson, via Fort Towson. All was quiet on our Western Frontier. The Tex inns are anticipating with evident de light a rupture between the United States and Mexico. The Telegraph exclaims-" We shall have the satisfaction of seeing our old enemy well whipped." We think that he has been whipped sufficiently already. He has hardly breath enough in his bodv to keep it from decomposition. If he needs further punishment let the Tcxians have all the glory of finishing the work which they have so nobly begun. We learn from Texas, that Stephen F Austin died recently in that State. At the period of his death, he was Secretary of State under the new Government. lol Austin was. we think, a native of Mo. He emigrated to Texas many years since, having obtained from the reigning Government grants of large tracts of lands, on condition of his settling a permanent colonv upon them. He was entirely success-

full in carrying his plans into operation.

Missouri Republican. Zanesville, Jan. 25, 1837. On las Sunday evening a man calling himself John Bolivar, was committed to the jail of this county charged with pass ing counterfeit $5 bills on the Franklin Bank of Columbus. He is a man 40 to 45 years of age, rather thick set, and has been loitering about town for some days. Two hundred and thirty dollars of spuri ous notes were found in his possession, on various banks. It may be well for persons to examine notes closely before receiving them, as no'doubtmany have been put in circulation. Gazette. The Detroit Daily Advertiser of the 27th ult. says, that salt is selling at from 10 to 12 dollars per barrel in that city. Eggs are sold at 5 shillings per dozen. We are informed on unquestionable authority, that Mr. Benton has presented to Gen. Jackson in a silver fcase, the identical pen, with which the journals of the Senate were expunged.

Buchanan about 825,000; Ailes about $15,000: ff 'all about $10,000; Fulton $5,000. Gratitude of course for such favors, as well as squinting towards others in reserve are the powerful induce ments which led those disinterested Pat riots to violate decency, truth, and the Con stitution, in voting to expunge a just and merited resolution ol censure.

The "Ohio Atlns" savs, this county, Lorain and probably the whole State has been flooded for a week or two past with coun terfeit bills and coins-particularly ten dollar bills of the Hank of Kochester New l ork, and five dollar bills of the Franklin Dank of Columbus, in this State, nd spurious half dollars. From the Craufurdsvillc Record. By a letter from Indianapolis, to a citi zen of this place, we learn that the House has passed a bill distributing the surplus revenue through agents in the different counties, to be loaned in sums not exceed ing $500, at an interest of 0 per cent. one-third of the interest to be applied to education, and two-thirds to pay the interest on State bonds. We learn that the Hon. E. A. Hannegan, at present representative in congress from this district, has been appointed register of the land office at Laporte, Indiana. We expect soon to hear of the appoint ment of two other members of our present delegation to land offices; they have serv ed the President in the name of "the par tv," and of course, look to him for their reward!"

In his book called Astoria, Irving, gives an account of an agent of that colony, who fearing the aggression of the Indians, completely held them at bay, by pretending he had the small pox bottled up in a small vial, which, the moment they should strike he would uncork, and destroy them. The Indians had a dreadful fear of "the disease, it having been among them, and by which many had been swept off, and they therefore remained quiet. The French paper in New York city contains a paragraph from the Paris Sun nnnouncinp- the decision of the Spanish Cortes to recognize the independence of Mexico. ANTIDOTE TO POISONS The fact that Ground Mustard proves a sure remedy in all cases where vegetable, and in nearly all where mineral poisons are taken into the stomach either bv mis take or design, if given immediately after

such deleterious substances have beerTrcceived, is a circumstance that should b universally known. We are led to make these remarks in consequence of two cases of accidental poisoning which have come under ourobser vation within the last four weeks, one from Oxalic Acid, the other from Nitrate of Potash; in both cases they were taken, supposing them to be Sulphate of Magnesia! or "Salts." The former did Ha deadly office, by reason of its victim's living at a distance from medical aid, and being ignorant of the fact that ground mustard taken in doses of a table spoonful, mixed in water is an instantaneous and powerful emetic; the other one availed himself of this remedy upon, the spur of tho moment, and no ill effects from the poison hava since arisen.
