Telegraph to Terre-Haute. We are happy to be able to state that the prospect of a <Telegraphic line> direct to Terre Haute from the east, may be considered as reduced to a settled fact. JOHN J. S. LEE, Esq., of the Cincinnati and St. Louis Telegraph company, has made arrangements in this place, and along the whole line from Cincinnati

through Terre-Haute to St. Louis, that will secure the erection of wires on the line. This line makes points through Indiana, of Brookville, Connersville, Rushville, Shelbyville, Indianapolis, Danville, Greencastle and Terre-Haute. Mr. Lee was in this place a few days since, and informed us that he had made arrangements, and contracted for setting poles from Terre-Haute ten miles immediately east; and that he calculates to complete the Telegraphic connection between this place and Indianapolis, by the 1st of February, Mr. Lee has found a liberal subscription in the Towns on the line, and will be in this place again shortly, when he will expect some further support, in addition to that already given by our citizens! This company we believe is a connection of Morse's line, and resolved to carry their measure through.

This line we understand is to work upon the new invention and highly improved plan, referred to in another column, extracted from the Detroit <Commercial Bulletin>. ———————

considers our railroad from Terre-Haute to Indianapolis a very important connecting link. In this he is right. The Ter-re-Haute Railroad will be a link in the

great chain, ultimately to connect the Atlantic and Pacific.

The object of the Journal is to encourge subscriptions to the Jeffersonville and Columbus Railroad, by which, Louisville would at once be connected with Indianapolis, and of course our TerreHaute Road. Over this route, the editor says St. Louis may be reached in 18 hours from Louisville. Just in proportion to the great importance abroad attachcd to the Terre-Haute Road, should

be the interest of our citizens, to aid in

its construction, by a full and liberal subscription in its stock. ———————

Skipping Corn.

The following communication from a very respectable House in New Orleans gives many Important suggestions on the subject of raiJfti'g, curing, and shipping

Corn.

OKIXAKS, Oct. 24th, 1849.

EDTTO* ''COCKIK*,* Terre-Haute.

Dear Sin—The last three or four years having established a permanent Foreign demand for Corn, and other Western produce, and this port being the great natural depot for receipts and sales, we take the liberty of making some suggestions, as to growingand shipping to this market.

Constant complaints are made that Corn arrives here soft or damp—unsound and unfit for shipment on long voyages and from long experience in Western Commission business, we know these complaints are just—and that large quantities of Corn, purchased as sound, and shipped to Europe, have entirely spoiled on the vogage.

The valliesof the Wabash, Ohio and Mississippi, have a soil unequalled in extent and fertility and, with proper care and attention to the growing and harvesting of grain may stand unrivaled and beyond competition, in supplying the Granaries of Europe.

Much attention should be paid to selecting seed—a hard flint Corn, either pure while ox yellow, commands the best prices. Farmers should be very particular to plant all white or yellow thereby avoiding mixed Corn. When Corn has matured in the field, it is of the utmost importance that it should be gathered and put under cover, avoiding all exposure to the weather. It should be perfectly dry when shelled: or, if shelled while damp or soft,great care should be taken to have it dry before putting in sacks. All unsound ears, and all red or colored Corn, should be carefully exeluded, in shelling—too much attention cannot be paid to this, as Corn will be subject to a \ery close inspection this season and no Corn should be shipped, unless it is well cleaned and fanned— free from silk, cobs &c. In all shipments of damaged or unsound Corn, a loss to the shipper is sure to ensue.

New Gunny Bags—size 2^ bushels— are best suited for Corn. It always commands a preference when freighted by Steam-Boats—and it arrives in much better condition when shipped on deck, rather than in the hold.

In shipping by Flat Boats, strict attention should be paid to its being well dunaged with seasoned timber. No green or unseasoned timber should touch the

Proclnmntiun.

Whereas, usage which hns obtained the approbation of the American people, and one which has received the sanetiort of the christian world generally, calls upon me, at this season, to aid in perpetuating the same, by recommending a day to be observed as one of public thanksgiving for the present year. I am disposed to name Thursday,the29th New day of November, instant.

Our duty to our Creator should urge us to acknowledge his providence to obey his will to be grateful for his multiplied mercies and bestowed benefits —and while thus before Him. to implore his protection and favor. He has blessed us with lifts and health He has preserved our civil institutions,—thathappy form of government, based upon true principles of popular government —and present tnanifesiions seem to indicate that they are still to extend, till the whole earth shall joyfully proclaim its freedom, and be able to unite, as one great whole, in ascribing the glory and praise to Him, the great ruler of nations—the "beneficent author of all the good that was, that is, that will be."

Cause for thankfulness exists in that the earth has not withheld her fruits.— The labors of the husbandman have been abundantly rewarded and our own country, in this respect, has been signally favored. And in all cases can we find cause to approach Almighty God in a humble and contrite spirit thanking Him for His manifold mercies and imploring the continunnce of them. If entered into a proper spirit, such as the occasion should call forth, while our passions are subdued, our remembrance of God's goodness refreshed, wc may hope confidently that the offering of grateful hearts will be acceptable in His sight.

I therefore recommend ihat the day above named be set apart for this holy and grateful service and that our whole people suspend their secular avocations, assemble in their usual places of worship, and there offer their thanksgiving to Him who has so abundantly blessed us, and who is so able to respond to our petitions.

In testimony whereof, I hereunto set my hand, and have caused the seal of the State to be affixed,

W A»LINGS OF LOCOFOCOISM.—From the moment that General Taylor, in the administration of the government, began to purify the avenues of office by removals, the'howl of agony has been heard from the Locofoco press from one end of the country to the other. Every blow of the axe, no matter how unimportant the limb lopped off by the stroke' has extorted a yell of agony that has ecbued and re-echoed throughout the entire line of

manhood—they would abstain from such indecorous manifestations of sorrow at the loss of a few offices. Instead of be having like men, and sharing the fate of political warefare with true heroism, almost every press in the service of that party stands blubbering like a booby boy who has dropped his bread and butter in the sand. The last waitings are orer the removal of Captain Browne!I «s Inspector of Ships. If he didn't want to be removed he shouldn't have been a Locofoco, that's all.—Bmfafo Express, 25ik.

FOREIGN NEWS.

ARRIVAL OF THE HIBERNIA.

WEfcfc

LATER FROM EUROPE.

SACKVILLE, N. S., Nov. 3J

The Hibernia arrived at Halifax at seven d'fclook last evening, after a rough passage. She brings Paris dates to 18tn, and Liverpool to 20th. She has hundred passengers, among whom are Whitd, Consul at Hamburg, and family. We l&irn that Richard Rush, late Minister to France Saunders, Minister to Spaid Stiles, Charge to Austria, and Flenniken, Charge to Denmark, left Southampton on the £0th, in steamer Washington, for New York.

Russia and Turkey.

The European Times, the only paper which has come to hand, contains no later news from Constantinople and St. Petersburgh, and we have no solution of the difficulty between the Emperor and the Porte the general belief among well informed circles is, that Russia will pocket the affront, rather than provoke a collision with England and France.

A correspondent, writing from Belgrade on 1st inst., states, that the Hungarian refugees are still at Widden, ready to set out for the destinations they may receive. Prince Alexander, of Servia, behaved well towards them, allowing them free passage and provisions through his territory. Bern, Dembinski and others have embraced Isi&mism and entered the Turkish army.

Austria.

General Haynau, in his administration of military affairs, loses no opportunity to preserve the bloody epithet so universally applied to him he has murdered, under the guise of military courts martial, thirteen Hungarian generals, who delivered themselves up at the close of the war. Count Bethany,' the prime minister of Hungary, has been shot also he was condemned to be hung, but his wife sent him a dagger, with which he cut his throat but, not having succeeded in committing suicide, he fell, pierced by Austrian bullets. Several Hungarian officers, furnished with passports from Comorn, have passed through Berlin, on their way to the west, some are going to America. Klapka was said to be among them, and has embraced the resolution of crossing the Atlantic, with one hundred others.

Hungary is to be divided into ten districts, each to have its own government, but the deputies are to be chosen by a majority of votes of die whole population.

Kome.

The accounts from Rome are not satisfactory the return of the Pope is still spoken of, but the time is a subject of conjecture. Garibaldi has left the island of Santa Madalena for Gibraltar, from whence he will sail for London, and ultimately for America.

France.

The news from France is very unimportant. The trial of the rioters of 13th June was going on at Versailles, attended with great excitement.

Ireland.

Several anti-rent riots had occurred, with fatal results. One took place on the 13th at Kilterly, King's county, in which three policemen were killed, and several others severely injured.

<From the Louisville Journal>.

Great Central Railway.

This is the age of railroad improvements. The North, the South, the East, and the West are alive to their interest— all are pressing on with their railroads, connecting their principal cities with the interior, and concentrating their commercial action upon their towns and cities, while they are uniting distant points, and almost annihilating time and space as compared with our former movements through the interior by stages, or even upon our rivers and lakes by our steamers. The elder States of the East led off, and are now reaping the fruits of their foresight and energy. The object of this article, however, is not merely to speak in general terms, but to direct the attention of our readers, and especially of the citizens of Louisville, to the great Central railway between the cities of Boston, New York, Philadelphia, and Baltimore, through Indianapolis, to intersect the Atlantic and Pacific railroad at St. Louis. This is evidenily to be the great interior thoroughfare of business and travel of the United States, and it will be important to form connections with it from the commercial cities situated off the line. The citizens of all such cities will be deeply interested in having such connection, and especially will this be the case with the citizens of Louisville, as we shall attempt to show.

That our renders may have before their minds and be enabled to trace on the map the lines of this great Central railway, we descend to particulars.— The Boston line runs through Springfield to Albany, N. Y., where it meets the Hudson river line from the city of New York;a single line is run from Albany, through Herkimer, Syracuse, Rochester, and the intermediate towns to Buffalo, on the lake; and from Buffalo a line is being constructed on the south side of the lake to Cleveland and Sandusky in Ohio. There is another line from the city of New York, by, Goshen, Deposit, Binghampton [sic], Andover, and Orleans, to Dunkirk, on the lake, where it intersects the line last mentioned. We leave these lines at Cleveland and Sandusky, and proceed to bring up the great Pennsylvania line. This line is intersected at Philadelphia by a line from New York city through the State of New Jersey. From Philadelphia the line West runs through Lancaster, Harrisburg. Pittsburgh, Beaver, and the intermediate towns in Pennsylvania Salem, Canton. Wooster, Massillon, Mansfield. Mairon, Bellefontaine, Sidney, and the intermediate towns in the State of Ohio Union, Winchester, Muncie, Anderson, Pendleton. Indianopolis. (the capital of Indiana,) Greencastle, Terre-Haute, and the intermediate towns in Indiana Marshall. Martinsville, Greenup, Ewingion. Vandalia, (the did capital of Illinois,) Greenville, Pocahontas, IHinoistown, opposite Su Louis, on the Mississippi, and intermediate towns in Illinois. This is the great central direct line between Philadelphia, by Pittsburg, Indianapolis, and St. Louis.

The line from Boston and New York,

which we left at Cleveland and Pittsburg, connects with the main central line, from Cleveland, at Gallion, west of Mansfield and from Sandusky at Bellefontaine, on the Mad river railroad, the great Baltimore line is intersected at that ch^ by a northern line from Philadelphia, and a southern line from Washington City. From Baltimore, the line runs near Frederick and Hagerstown in Maryland to Cumberland, from which pdint it is about being extended through the hioutttaiiis to Wheeling, Va., oh the Ohio, St. Charlesville, Zanesvillg, find the intermediate towns to Columbus, the capital of Ohio. From this point, two lines will run west, one through Urbana, Piqua, and Greenville to Union, at the Indiana State line, where it will intersect the great central trunk line before described, and the other through Springfield, Dayton, Richmond, and the intermediate towns in Indianapolis, where it will connect with the capital of the State ot Indiana, one end with the lines of railway intersecting the main line at that point, which it may be proper to lay down, as the object of this article is mainly to show the citizens of Louisville the interest they have a in direct railroad communication between this city and Indianapolis—Cincinnati is about eighty miles or four hours' run from the main line. She will doubtless tap the line by her railway through Ohio, and perhaps at Indianapolis, and it is for Louisville, that is one hundred and twenty miles or six hours from Indianapolis, to look to her own interest. At Indianapolis, besides the Madison and Indianapolis, and the centre line that enters the city from the northeast, known as the Indianapolis and Bellefontaine railroad, under the Charge of O. H. Smith, running eighty miles to the Ohio line, being a link in the great Philadelphia and Pittsburg road with which the Cleveland and Sandusky roads connect as wo have stated, there are several other railroads being constructed, the main line West, to Terre-IIaute,seventy miles, under the charge ot Cbauncey Rose the Lafayette road to intersect the Wabash at that point, seventy miles, under the charge of A. S. White the Peru road to intersect the Wabash and Erie canal at that point, seventy miles, under the charge of John Burk and a contemplated road from Indianapolis to Evanfeville on the Ohio. It is only necessary to direct the mind of the reader to the facts we have now slated, to show the great importance of connecting our city at Indianapolis with these great lines of railway. Such a connection would put us in direct communication by railway with St. Louis, as well as with the whole interior of Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, the Eastern Stales, and the Eastern Atlantic cities by the most rapid movement known to this progressive age. Our conftection completed, and it will be but 18 hours by Indianapolis to St. Louis, JO hours to Sandusky on the lake, the same to Cleveland, 24 hours to Pittsburg, 36 hours to Philadelphia, 39 hours to New York, 44 hours to Boston, 34 hours to Baltimore, 6 hours to Indianapolis. We will not detain the reader with a comparison of the time here stated (which is but twenty miles to the heir railroad run, which will be increased to thirty miles on the heavy rail now generally used) with the time now occupied by the present mode ot travelling the reader will of course do that. There is however one matter to which we wish to draw the attention of the business men of our city, as well as those of Southern Kentucky and Tennessee, and that is, the great facility that will be created by this connection for the transportation of goods from the Enstern cities. We have now to rely solely upon the Ohio river, and our experience is ample as to the great difficulties that we have to encounter in obtaining our goods after they have been purchased in the East. When the merchant purchases his goods, it is generally upon a short credit for at least part of the amount, and it is a great object to him to get them into the market os soon as possible. Here he is met by tho obstacles of ice and low water in our river, and his goods are thrown into the warehouses at Pittsburg, Wheeling, or Cincinnati, waiting for transportation

All this will be avoided when the great central line shall be completed through Indianapolis, and our connection shall be made to that city. Our citizens know that there is a road commencing at Jeffersonville opposite to our city, under the charge of William G. Armstrong, now progressing to completion. This road intersects the Madison and Indianapolis railroad at Columbus (Ind.) and will, when finished, give us the direct connection at Indianapolis, so much to be desired. Will not our citizens at once come forward and give to the company before the necessary aid to complete this road without delay. The stock must amply repay, and, next to the great central line, must become one of the very best railroads in the West. We have occupied more space with this article than we usually do upon ordinary subjects, but we trust our readers will thank us for drawing their attention to a subject so important to the people and so immediately connected with their interest. ———————
