TERRE-HAUTE, SATURDAY FEB. 5.1848.

AUGUST ELECTION.

We wish to call the attention of every good

Two important matters are to come before, nnd be acted upon, by our next Legislature— The election of a United States Senator and forming the State into Congressional Districts,

secure the services of

years. All we have to do is, to be true to our

trust' safe.

We have now further to notice, that Pres. Simpson, and the Rev. Mr. Begg, have been in town some days, and that the Revival excitement still continues to spread its mantle over, and embrace large multitudes of our citizens.

LEGISLATIVE.

The Legislature of Indiana adjourned on Monday last. We spent two or three days at Indianapolis at the close of the session. While there, of course, our tin.e was principally occupied in attendance at the Capitol. Kvery thing was hurry and bustle for the last day or two—Many of the members anxious and interested to have consummated some measure not finally carried through. Several days previous to the adjournment, a resolution had been adopted not to admit of the introduction of any new business—and yet, even on the last day, some small matters wore pressed through on motions to suspend the rules, by consent, &c. It was evident also, from what we could see and learn, that a good deal of business was passed over, and unavoidably postponed for want of time, in consequence of the resolution to adjourn on the 31st ult. These resolutions, fixing positive time for adjournment, by legislative bodies, may perhaps be necessary and proper, us a general rule—but we think that rule has its exceptions, as well as many others. Perhaps the resolve of our Legislature to adjourn at so early a day at the session just closed, might form an instance of such exception. One House, however, passed the resolution for early adjournment,—the other determined not to bo behind, in a measure which seemed well adapted to meet popular sentiment out of doors, Long before the period fixed for the close of the session, it was seen, that time sufficient for the proper consideration of all business, had not been allowed. But, neither branch choosed to risk a move in favour of further time, least the motion might not be reciprocated, or the responsibility thrown entirely on one instead of both Houses. Now we have no doubt, that not only might other necessary business have been done, had more time been allowed, but that also, a good deal, on further consideration, would have been left undone, or at least better matured nnd considered. Under all circumstances, there may be some doubts, whether hurried legislation as a matter of supposed economy, may not sometimes work injury to the community.

In the House, a joint resolution on the subject of the repeal of the Bankrupt law was lost, on the question of engrossment, by a vote of ayes 27, noos 49—and afterwards, a motion to rocons:der the vote on this joint resolution, was negatived, ayes 41, noes 43. The bill subjecting equitable interests and chases in action to the payment of debts, was road a third time, and then on motion, laid upon the table—ayes 51, noes 29. The bill to attach a part of Vigo county to Clay was rejected.

Hereafter we will endeavour to give an abstract, or list of the principal laws passed.

CON ESS I ONA L*

Nothing decidedly important from Congress since our last. The bill repealing the bankrupt law by tho House, is not yet decided in Uhe Senate—much excitement prevails on the subject—Remonstrances are very strong ngainst the repeal, and the vote of the Senate will be very close. Fn the House a resolution has been introduced, fixing Monday the #Oth of May, as the day of adjournment for the two Houses of Congress. Mr. Adams presented a petition from Haverhill, Mass., for a dissolution of the Union, because the advantages were not reciprocal, because the resources of one section were drained by the jvaste of another, &c. &c. The Chair was inquired of, whether it would not be in order to move that this petition be burned in presence of the House—A written resolution was •eat to the table to the effect, that the gentle* man from Massachusetts, bv presenting said

itition, h«d justly incurred the censure of the Mr. Adams also presented a memorial purporting to be from certain citizens of Georgia* protesting against his appointment at the head of the Committee of Foreign Affaire—'The memorial spoke in high terms of his learning, services, &c. but at the

same time, declared that he was afflicted with a monomania en the subject of Abolition^ which utterly disqualified hire for the position He occupied on the committee* A question of order arose, as the memorial was pronounced all a hoax, &c. A report was made by the Committee on Apportionment, proposing a Tatio of 68,000 as the basis of representation* The early consideration of this report was urged by some members, as it was said many of the State Legislatures were now in session, and waiting the action of Congress on thn subject—That special sesstoos of Legislatures would have to be held unless the question was soon settled in Congress. Some objection, however, waa made to the merits of the bill, and a motion made to recommit it to a committee of one from each State, dec.

The Mexican authorities are to be informed of the strong feeling which would be excited in this country, should any harsh proceedings be adopted towards these individuals.

SINKING or THE ROYAL GKORGE.—Our readers will recollect that, during the last few years, frequent mention has been made of experiments to recover articlesTrom this once noble ship. The fact that an immence man of war, lying at anchor in harbor, with fine weather, should have gone down in a moment, carrying more than one thousand persons to a watery grave, considering the strict discipline of the British Navy, was a most remarkable event. V*

On the IGth of August, 1782, the English man of war, the Royal George, of immense size, three decks, one hundred guns, and nine hundred men, was lying at Spithead, near Portsmouth, ready for sea, and with a large fleet bound for the Mediterianean. She bore the flag of Admiral Kempenfeldt, a fine officer—of seventy years old. On that day there were two or three hundred women on board —the wives and friends of the seamen also a large number of persoos, with articles to sell to the seamen, making between twelve and thirteen hundred on board on that day. A water cock below the water requiring repair, the ship was careened, by changing the guns, &c. When lying in this position, a sloop came along side, with a load of stones, which were deposited on the side of the Royal George which was in the water. Then the water was admitted into the lower ports. The carpenter became alarmed and tokl the Lieutenant of the deck who told him to mind his own business, and did nothing to right tlie ship the Admiral being in the cabin. Tha carpenter again told the Lieutenant that the ship would fill, who, after waiting several minutes, ordered the drums to beat to quurters, that the ship miif^ be righted. At that moment a flaw of *itd struck her, she keeled over more, the water rushed into the lower decks, and she filled and went down. Only one of tha women was saved. Tiie Admiral and mora than one thousand were drowned.

27th CONGRESS.

SECOND SESSION.

SENATE.

SPECIAL ORDER.

I'he special orders for this day were called up, being Mr. CLAY'S proposedamendments to the Constitution.

Mr. CLAY spoke in defence of his Resolutions. He said, that in introducing them he had acted in the conscientious discharge of a public duty. He regreted that some abler and more skilful Senator had not moved in this matter, but as no one seemed- Hkehr lo do so, he had thought proper to bring the sub* ject before the Senate. He had not been prompted to act upon this subject by rocedt events, though recent events certainly had manifested no change to call for a neglect of action in reference to this great object.

Seven years since, Mr. C. continued, a lamented friend of his now no more, but then representing the State of Maryland, had moved in this matter, and in conjunction and cooperation with him. In his Hanover speech, before a change of Administration he had argued that one of the first acts of the Government should be a circumscribing of the Executive Power in general, and of the Veto Power in particular. lie was, therefore, but redeeming a pledge of his when acting thus.

Mr. Clay then said that in all truth and sincerity he was in favor of seeing any party coming into power redeeming all its pledges, and opposed to allowing any party to abandon their principles by their precepts. The Veto power which was begun by Agustin, was abolished said Mr. Clay in the reign of Constantine, and beginning here he glanced rapidly at its exercise from time to lime in the different Governments of the Old World. Its exercise by the Colonial Power was also referred to as being in the form of a double Veto, a veto by the Governor and a veto by the Crown. The veto power was warmly discussed at this time. The reason of its insertion among the articles of the Constitution was discussed briefly, as well as the relative power of the States and of the General Government.

It was contended that the States had made more encroachments upon the General Government than the Government had upon them. It was not so with the action of Congress. In reference to the treaty-making power thore could be no doubt that the framers of the Constitution designed that the Senate should be consulted in all the initiatory steps of a treaty. Yet this was not done, and how often was it that the Senate assemed to treaties to which it would never have assented had it had the framing of them. So of the removals from office. The officer held his office not upon Executive and Senatorial tenure, but upon the will and breath of one man.

The asumption of the purse, Mr. C. said, by the Executive was an exercise of this interferance upon the rights of Congress and the People. The Removal of the Deposites was cited as high handed example which had placed the purse of the nation at the foot of the Executive. Secretaries of the Treasury had been removed from office by the Executive of the United States, and countless officers had gone with them for refusing to obey the will of one man. The Executive had imposed his arm, as in case of the -Florida-Sedentary Volunteers, even Congress had refused to grant his requests. He would tell gentlemen who were now engaged in devising some plan for the safe custody of the public money, that they would fail in any effort to seperate the Executive power from the Treasury except by an amendment to the Constitution.

Mr. Clay then went, back to the design of the framers of the Consljflution in the establishment of a form of Government which separated it into Judicial, legislative and Executive branches of the/Government. Why should the Executive have tire exercise of the Veto power |why was it not as necessary to the Judiciary as to the Executive? Why should there be apprehension that there would be hasty legislation?

Mr. Clay then referred to tho State Constitutions to show the exercise of the Veto Power among them. Nine of them had the Veto Power with a power as under the Constitution of the United States to overcome it by a vote of two thirds of the Legislature. Eight of them had the Veto Power as he proposed in his Resolution, to be resisted and finally overcome by a majority of the Legislature. Nine of them did not have the Veto Power incorporated with their Constitutions, and if there had been any evil resulting from this, we should have heard of it.

According to a request made to trie in behalf of the citizens of Mt. Carmel, in a letter from the Rev. T. S. Hinde, bearing date 6th December, 1641, 1 beg to submit the following Report, on the mineral resources and timber of the Wabash country, to the Board appointed to establish an Armory in the Western part of the United States.

COAL.

^All the counties lying on both sides of the Wabash river as high as the waters of Pine Creek and the town of Independance in Warren county, are situated on an immense coalfield, equalling in extent theswhole Island of Great Britain, extending ffom southeast to northwest from tiie waters of Oil Creek and Rome on the Ohio river to the nKHiih of Rock river on the Mississippi, a distance of three hundrod miles and south to north from the waters of Green river, Tradewater, in Kentucky, to the waters of Little Vermilion, in La Salle county, Ills a distance of 323 mile*, and from southwest to northeast, from St. Louis and the waters of the West Branch of Saline river in Gallatin county, Illinois, to the Forks of Fox river and Kankakee river, a distance of 250 miles. Tha coal-field is described, and its boundries Uud down in a Report on the Geology of Iowa and Wisconsin made by the undersigned, to the General Land Office at Washington, in Februarv, 1840.

In all the counties lying on the east side of the Wabash, as high as Fountain and War-1 ren counties, I have, myself, inspected seams of coal, viz. in Posey, Gibson, Knox, Sullivan, Vigo, Parke, and Fountain also in Veranl1 lion county, on the welt side of the Wabash.

On the same side below Vermillion river 1 have oot persooally explored but 1 have very little doubt, that the outcroppings of seams of For1 coal hive been already diaco*ered. ^That to I warns of coal can bo reached in tkat section of country is beyond a doobf.

ISSSI|lgiti

ral rule, the coal fn the upper

*£#flb of better quallity than that found counties, li is all bituminous, of coal that I know of, are, on^gar cpek, "in Parke county, about five or six miles'below the Narrows on Roaring creek in the same county at the mouth of Vermilion county on Broaillets creek, also in Vermillion county, six or seven milee from the Wabash on Honey creek in Vigo county, from four to eight miles from the Wabash on the Lick-fork pf Busseron creek in SuIlivan county, ".,*!?'• titk i.** lo

Coal ot tolerblo quality is found in many places on White river, very convenient for shipment on the Wabash at Merom in Sullivan county on the Patoka in Gibson. On this latter stream, near the boundary between Pike and Gibson county, there is*a good scam of coal nearly ten feet thick. /, ..i iron ore.

Extensive deposits of argillaceous iron onmnd carbonate of iron are disseminated in some of the salty clays which alternate with the seams of coal there are beds of the hydrnted brown oxide of iron similar to the Tennessee ore, towards the eastern margin of the coal field, as for instance, on Eel river in the southwest of Putnam county. The mo^t important beds of iron ore at present known, conveniently situated to the Wabash river, are on Brouilletts creek, above mentioned, six miles Southwest of Clinton on the Wabash river. It is estimated that in the vicinity of that creek, about two thousand acres of ground are underlaid by good iron ore.— A high furnace is probably now in ojieration on this Creek for smelting the ore. I think, if the owners have sufficient capital at command and manage the business well, they cannot fail to be eminently successful.

Other beds of iron ore, yet unwrought, are on the Wubash, above the mouth of Coal creek. Fountain county on Sugar creek, and its tributary Roaring creek, both in Parke coun. ty^in the vicinity of the coal beds above mentioned

On various localities, both on the Wabash and adjoining streams, clay, iron, stone, has been noticed, but I am not prepared to say, whether, except at the above localites near the Wabash river it lies in sufficiently extensive beds to supply iron works. fn several places in

Posy

and Gibson coun

ty, masses and bodies of this kind of ore have lately been observed, but the excavations have not been sufficiency extensive to enable one to judge correctly of the extent of these deposities.

I may here state that 600,000 tons of iron are manufactured annually in Great Britain from the kind of ore, produced in analagous situations to the formations on the Wabash. And sufficient evidence has already been obtained to render it probable, that our coal field is rich in deposits of this variety of iron ore, and well worthy the attention and exploration of iron masters, more especially since they lie within such an extensive coal district.

BUILDING STONE..

The best building stone that I know of on the lower Wabash, is a strutum of limestone, which shows itself in many places in Posey and Gibson county some of it of a grey color, some almost black and capable of receiving a polish. It is not much inferior in some situations to Irish black marble, whicb.it much resembles. There are several places on Big creek, in Posey county, where this ^bck can be inspected and quarried. It lies in beds from four to six feel thick.

The sandstone of the lower Wabash are rather too soft and micaceous to be a very durable building stone nevertheless, where it has been used in the con&ruction of houses it has stood the test of twenty years without showing much signs of decay. On the streams entering the Wabash above Terre-Haute for instance, on Sugar, Racoon and Big Shawnee creeks, freestones of excellent quality can be procured. At Perryville, on the Wabash, in Vermillion county and on Otter creek, in Vigo county a dark bituminous limestone is exposed and can be quarried in vary large blocks. I: stand tolerably well as a building stone where it is not exposed to the direct rays of the sun. This rock has been employed in many of the constructions on the public work?.

There is a quarry of similar and, perhaps, better rock on Honey creek, in Vigo county, about eight miles from the Wabash, which has been used in building the locks on the Cross-cut canal.

I think building stone of tolerable quality could be got on the Wabash at Merom, and also n^ar Vincennes.

Near Columbia, on the Patoka, good freestone has been quarried and used in building the abutments of the bridge over that stream.

Building stones of a similar quality can. without doubt, be found in many situations on the west side of the Wabash, but as 1 have not examined that country I cannot speak.

Excelent limeston rock for constructions can be got on the eastern marigin of the "Great Illinois coal field," but the quarries lie from 15 to 25 or 30 miles east of tiie Wabash»

FIRECLAY.

Good fireclay can be produced on the Wabash at the mouth of Coal creek, and a short distance up Vermillion river: also on Sugar creek, near the coal banks, and, perhaps, at other and nearer localities.

TIMBER.

The timbertof the Wabash country is equal, if not superiorfo that of any other western stream. In the bottoms of the Wabash, the two White rivers, Patoka, Racoon, ^ugar creek and Cool creek, and Vermillion river, blackwalnut, poplar," maple, sugartree, oak and cherry, grow very luxuriantly larger, indeed, than I recollect to have them elsewhere in the west. Sugar creek has received its name from the vast growth of maple found on its banks one of its tributaries goes by the name of "Walnut branch" from the thick growth of walnut timber in the vicinity. Land hat» been entered on Leatberwood, a stream south of Sugar oreek, by cabinet makers in Cincinnati, solely for the valuable growth of cherry trees, which they intend to saw up and carry to Cincinnati. Every expert* noed wo damnn to whom this region is familiar, will admit that birdseye, and curled maple, and blackwalnut, are found oo the Wabash, and at its tributaries, in, at least, a great perfection as they can be found in any part of the United Stalest.

For further information aod details, I beg leave to refer the Board to two Reports oo Geoioy of Indiana, made by me, as Geolgist of the Stat?*, to the Legislature, in the years 1837 aud *38. I regret that I have not a perfect copy, otherwise I shoo id have taken much pleasure in forwarding it.
