FROM THE INDIANA JOURNAt.

In the SENATE, on Tuesday, the consideration of the hill of the House providing that, when there is an ad journment for more than two successive days, themem bersand officeisofthe legislature shall not receive any compensation, consumed the most of the forenoon Messrs. Thompson. Watts, Elliott, Test, Bell, Carnan Lowe. Tannehill, Wright, Williams, Dobson, Steven son. Parker. Armstrong, and Moffatt participated in the debate. The bill underwent various amendments. I the present feeling, or that evinced in the debate.of Sen ators, should continue, there will be no adjournment as heretofore, over the holidays- There appears to be a determination to make a short session of it.

On Wednesday, a resolution came up for conaidera tion, appointing a committee to report a bill to amend the act of last session prohibiting the issuing or circulating of small notes soaa more effectually tocamy out its provisions by subjecting any person wno shall use or circulate small bills under denomination of five dollars to punishment by indictment er presentment, except such small notes aa may hereafter be authorized to be issued by th« State Bank of Indiana. This resolution, as it Is imperative on the committee, was discussed at considerable leneth. Messrs. Test, Ewing, Stevenson Mount,and Eggleston were in favor of its naasage.— Messrs. Carnan, Parker, and Moffatt opposed tke passage of the resolution, not that they wished, in the most remote manner, to countenance the issue of small bills by individual or companies, but they did not believe the way contemplated by the resolution the most efficacious in the suppression of the evil. Taev thought that the most effectual and efficient plan of driving such trash from circulation would be to furnish the people with a better currency. They were in favor of the State Bank taeuing notes of a less denomination than |5 which, they contended, with much dww of rra •on, would drive not only the swill bills teased in this place *nd in Madtsont but those issued bv the banks in our sister Stales out of circulation. The dwcuaeion waa continued the next day by Mr. Nave, and an mendment offered by him. The resolution finally pas sed without amendment.

On Thursday, Mr. Elliott offered a resolution to re deem the |50 Treasury No**, by authorising the Sui» Bank to issue a million and a half in notes of 1.8, and 3 dollars. This resolution waadiscuseedat some lebgtb It was finally lost.

On Friday, the subject of the apportionment of the members of the Legislature for the next five years came up. This is an important subject, and will, doubtless, receive, as it deserve*, serious and mature consideration The discussion elicited was participated in by Messrs. lot, Nave, and Williams, who are favorable to a redtaction of the nreeent number of members, and Messrs Ewmg. Baird of St. J., Elliott, Wright, and Covins, wbo are opposed to a reduction. The debate orcapied the principal part of the afternoon, and «r*a continued on Saturday morning by Mr. Parker, in favor cf the proposed redaction, and Mr. Baird of St. J. who opposed to it. Those gentlemen spoke at length.and evinced much ability and ingenuousness in their arguments. The debate was continued in the afternoon by Messrs. Ewing,Cravens. Parker, Test, Carnan, Thompson, and Nave. The question was then taken and resulted in instructing tho apportionment committee to report a bill fixing thefnumher of Senators at forty, and of Representatives at eighty, or aa near thereto as practicable.

At this time we will not hazard an opinion *ss to the prob&ble altimste fate ot the proposition to reduce the Dumber of the Legislature- It has powerful advocates as well as oppoeers and every inch ef ground on both of the question, from preeent indications, we may ay, will ho hotly con tested.

Waste treasures like water, ye nobleand great! Spend the wealth of the world to increase your estate Pile up your temples of marble, and raise Columns and domes, that the people may gaze And wonder at beauty so gorgeously shown By subjects more rich than the king on his throne t: Lavish and squander—for whv should yon save jM

The sweat ot the poor and the blood of the bfravef"

Pour wine into eoblets, nil crusted with gems— Wear pearls on your collars and pearls on your hems Let diamonds in splendid profusion otitvio The myriad stars of a tropical sky Though froMi the night of the fathomless mine These :-.fey be dug at your banquet to shine. Little care for the chains of the slave.

The sweat of the poor and the blood of the bravef"

Behold at your gate stands the feeble and old, Let them burn in the sunshine and freeze in tho cold— Let them starve though a morsel, a drop will impart New vigor and warmth to the limb and the heart You taste not their anguish, you feel not their pain,. Your heads are not bare to the winds and the rain Must wretches like these of your charity crave

The sweat of the poor and the blood of the bravet1'

An army goes out in the morn's early light, Ten thousand gay soldiers equipped lor the fight An army comes home at the closing of day Oh, where are their banners, their goodly array? Ye widows and orphans, bewail not so loud— Your groans may embitter the fenst of the proud To win for their stote—did the wild battle rave—

The sweat of the poor and the blood of the brave?"

Gold! gold! in all ages the course of mankind, The fetters are forged for tho soul and the mind The limbs may be free a8 the wines of a bird, And tho mind be the slave of a look and a word. To gain thee, men barter eternity's crown, Yield honor, affection and lasting renown, And mingle like foam with life's swift-rushing wave, "The sweat of the poor and the blood of tho brave?"

Roll, lovely Earth! and still roll on, With ocean's azute beauty bound, While one sweet star the pearly ITUMMI,

Pursues tiiee through the blue profound And angels with delighted eyes Behold thy tints of mount and stream, From the high wall of Paradise,

Swift-whirling like a glorious dream.

Roll Planets! on your dazzling road, For ever sweeping round the sun What eye beheld when first you glowed.

What eye shall see vour courses dorie! Roll in your solemn Majesty, Ye deathless splendors of the skies. 'High altars, from which angels see

The incense of creation rise.

Roll Comets! and ye million stars! Ye that through boundless nature roam Ye monarchs on your feme-wing cars.

Tell us in what rgm glorious dome, What orb to which our pompa are dim, What kingdom but by angels trod— Tell us where swells the eternal hymn

Around his throne—where dwellsyour Uod.

MY LIBRARY.

Addressed, in a letter, to Sir Egerton Brydgci. BY ROBERT SOUTHEY. My days among the dead are passed

Around me I behold, Where'er these casual eyes are cast, The mighty minds of old My never failing friends are tlicy, With whom I converse, day by day.

With them I take delight in weal, And seek relief in woe And while I understand and feel

How much to them I owe, Mv checks have often been bedewed With tears of thoughtful gratitude.

My thoughts are with the dead: with them I live in long past years

1

ADVERTISING

A friend remarked the other day tons that a boeineea that is not worth advitftising la not worth doing. There is much truth inline remark, but a truth that doea not seem to be appreciated by most of our business men. It is left for us editorially to tell the public abroad that business is done in this city instead ot the information through our advertisingcolumns. Many men think to cease advertising is economy.-that it reduces expenses, that if they have but little business to do it is not worth advertising 1 if they do a great deal there is no use in advertising. Is advertising less useful than insuring, is it less useful than a sign, is it leas essential to a good business than a good business stand We think not. A man does not huy his goods to keep them on hand. Again, adyerttaing is U«e a travelling sign. No business man will heaitate to pav twenty dollars for a sign where he would never think of paying half the sum for advertising. The one is a sign seen enly by those who pass the store and can see the goods that are for sale as woll as the sign. The advertisement is a comprehensive sign that comes under the eye of hundreds who never will see the sign over the door yet some pretend to argue that becausesome men have done a good business without advertising, advertising is unnecessary. They might as well argue that because some men have made money without industry, industry is unnecessary.

There is another light in which it appears incumbent on men to advertise. It is the duty of a people to afford the publiahers of papers a competent support, so longaa they desire to have them. Those citizens most interested in the business of a place dislike to be without a newspaper. They are either a public blessing or a curse. If they are the latter abandon them. If not give them such patronage as will draw from them the greatest amount of utility.— IVheeling Times.

FINANCES OF VIRGINIA.

The asgregate of the public debt ol the State is about •6,720 918. There are 12,066,187 dollars and 30 cent a heldby the Commonwealth and Corporations, which it haa created, and over which it has entire control. Of this amount the fund for Internal Improvement holds $7,987,393 32—$2,714,268 only of whichare productive. Thus it appears that a large part of the stock held by the State and its institutions is not now productive. Of tho aggregate ot $12,066,187 30, the sum of 6,887,790 74 Is either now productive or will soon become so, and of that portion now_ totally unproductive. there is a large amount held in works ot internal Improvement not yet complete, nj"c" which it is hopeo will ere long be productive. Tbeaggregato of debt, viz: $6,720,948, and the aggregate ofTumte.'viz: $12,066,187 30, both include the sum of $1,247,863,»i, of State certificates held by institutions under the control of the State, or in foei by the St^e "^-deducting this amount, the debt of the State will be te duced to tho sum of $*,473 86.

-RATES ON I'OSTAGE IN ENGLAND. A gentleman of Boston, now in IondoR, has sent to a friend the following reply to certain inquiries respecting Postage. It may be serviceable to our mercantile and literary community, and is here added "For all internal correspondence* from one end ot tno kingdom to the other, the charge of a single letter, weighing under half an ounce, is one penny. For nil ship letters received from America the charge isod. single, Is. 4d. double, &c. For newspapers 3d. each, and lor pamphlet, letter postage, according to weight. A letter aildressnd to France, need not be sent to a friend in London, as by an arrangement between the two Go* verntnents. a ship lejtor would bo forwarded by the General Office here to France without the payment ot any postago in London but a letter would not be torwarded to any other foreign country, America for instance, until the postage to London and hence waa paid. The postage of a single letter by the Halifax summers is Is. and of a newspaper 2d. Tb«vnatls for India leavo on the 4th of every month, and the postage is 3a.
