preliminary meeting at the Court House on Saturday evening, the 29th inst., to make arrangements for colobrating tbo 4th of July on the plan here suggested. We hope this' mode as proposed, may bo carried out. Let all unite to further these viewa. The name of FATHBI» "WALLACE ought to be encouragement for the occasion. Ho may be considered contemporaneous^wiih the snges of the Revolution, and particularly wiih the spirit which gavo birth lo the Declaration of Independence. The association of his name on the present occasion we think very appropriate.

DIED ON THE ROAD.

Early on Monday morning last, the

to follow barbering in town; the other, a son of George Foster, a very respectable colored man living a few miles up the Prairie. The deceased had both been boating for sometime on the Ohio river. On Friday last they came from Madison to Indianapolis; and on Saturday morning with several other colored persons started In a wagon for Torre Haute. On Sunday evening Wilson took suddenly sick and soon died in the wagon Faster also soon after died in the wagon Finding they wore both sick they were hurried on without stopping, during the night, with the view of getting medical aid at or near Terr© Haute. It aeems that although not well, both had drank freely of cold water, and were attacked wth something similar to Cholera Morbus, which, without medical aid, proved fatal long beforo reaching town.

The President a Sugar Planter. The New Orleans Deita of the 8th inst says, that the President has purchased the splendid sugar plantation of Capt Fullerton, situated about 25 miles from that city, on the right bank of the river. Ho paid, we understand,75,000 in cash. It is the purpose, we learn, of the General to abandon his cotton plantation, near Rodney which is subject to con* sunt overflows,and concentrate his force upon hia new purchase.

THE CANAL.

The Perrysville Eagle states that there seems to be a decided improvement in the management of the canal this season, compared with all previous years. Several serious breaks have happened, but all have been promptly repaired, and no lengthy or serious interruption to navigation has occurred. Navigation is better, this year, than it has ever been before. ~~~~~~~

What haa beeeaie of *e«t! It is lamentable, but wo suppose true.

CONGRESSIONA L.

In the-Senate June 13, Mr. Chase pre sen ted a remonstrance from Ohio against the pasfttigeaf the Omnibus bill. Mr. Bright thought it was strange that peo p|e of Ohio and Indiana should differ so riuch. He had just received a letter from hie State, saying, that the Grand Jury of the U. S. District Court had reported to Court in favor of the bill. Mr. Clay presented -the resolutions of the late St. Louis Mass Meeting in favor of the Omnibus bill. Mr. Behton said the resolutions did not Represent the neat sentiments of a majority of the people of St. Louis. Mr. Atchison, in referring to these resolutions, declared hi8 intention to vote against the admission of Caiifor nia. The Senate then took up the Omibus Bill "Mr. Webster spoke in favor of all the propositions of the bill, and said he would be glad to vote for them together or separately The debate was cotinucd at great length, during which Messrs. Benton, Foote, and Seward addressed the Senate.

question should be discanted from other measures of the bill/ Mr. Clay expressed ius willingness to admit California, and thought the speediest way was to include it with the other propositions of the bill. Mr. Houston spoke in favor of the right of Texas to the boundary line claimed by her. Mr. Clay read a letter from Mr. Reed, of Independence, Mo., stating that Mr. Benton had asserted that California will not be admitted into the Union. Mr. Clay did not vouch for the authoriiy and called on Mr. Benton to explain. Mr. Benton denied Mr. Clay's

Mr. Clay, by authority of Mr. Dickinson, withdrew his amendment After a few words of conversation, Messrs. Butler and Webster addressed the Senate. Mr. Norris, having obtained the floor, said he would voio for the amendment, although he had thought it useless and unnecessary.

In tho House on motion of Mr. Bayly, it was Resolved, That the President be requested to communicate to the House the amount of money collected from customs in California from the period of the conclusion of the war with Mexico until the collector appointed under the act of the 3d of March entered upon the Mie duties of his office, and whatdispo

UNDER-CURRENT AT THE CAPITOL 's^JFhe special correspondent of the Bat« ttmorePatriot, under date »uf Washingtfflff, June IS, s»y«r

There is that in the present aspect affairs at the Capitol which might perplex and confound tho clearest and keenest sighted causta, and tlie most pro found observer of political events. The cause and effect are simple matters, as easy as the mathematical proposition )h"aft Ttar® tnd" twp make four, but the present tendency of parties, and the final result of the plots and counterplots which are thickening 'and ripening among the politicians of .the two Houses of Congress, are not so easily understood.

There is something not a little alarming in the present position of the House of Representatives. Seven months have passed away, and no appropriation bills reported, no business of consequence transacted, and the time of the House is consumed day after day in voting, by tellers, on motions lor the committee of the whole to rise, to adjourn, or amendments of a frivolous character, with five minute speeches thereon. Thus one-fifth of the House hold all legislation in abeydefeat the will of the

i-t atice, defeat the will of the majority,

#nt are

p|ungjng ,he country into the

most terrible excitement and they are setting an example which the free soil faction and their adherents, promise to imitate whenever opposite measures are proposed. ...*£*»,

Mr. Stephens, of Georgia, to-day, in one of the mos eloquent speeches I ever heard, though it was five minutes in length, bore down upon the party who are thus plunging us into turmoil and in voking the most terrible calamities upon the nation, with great effect. It was the first time since the bill now before the House came under consideration for vo ting, that its turbulent commotion was silenced. His sharp, clear voice rang through the Hall amid breathless stillness while he told them that upon the heads of the Democratic party rested the re sponsibility of settling these issues. He reminded them that in the midst of the Mexican war he endeavored to obtain a declaration by that House, that no terri tory should be wrested front Mexico to bring discord and calamity to the Union. The Whig party stood with him, but the majority on the other side of the Hall were determined upon the acquisition of territory, and an act was passed declaring that the ordinance of '87 should be applied io any territory which might be acquired.

Such was the condition of things, and as might have been expected, the North now demanded that the agriement should be fulfilled, and the Democratic party must shoulder the responsibility. He believed the whig party were willing to carry out the compact with reference to Texas, which would give us five States, and they would expect the three which would come out of the territories, thst is California, Utah and New Mexico. Upon the Democratic party rest the responsibility of brining about the present state of things, "jit hT-Yfqrf yjt- :m ad ,&*••••

There was a momentary silence reigning through the Hall after Mr. Stephens sat down, so staggered were the opposi tion by the unexpected blow. It was a galling truth which none knew how answer, and their leaders for the first time wore silent.

Mr. McMullen, ihe weakest and noisi 6st of the party in the House, essayed to answer, but was laughed at for his pains No one con reflect seriously upon the present state of affairs without serious forebodings.

The words of warning, which the Fa ther of his Country has written in letters of gold for our instruction, now stand forth in all their mysterious depth of meaning, and they should be heard and heeded. The pride of opinion and the success of political schemes, may lead statesmen too far in times of such ex citement. The people, the patriotic people of both sections, should extend the hand of fellowship to each other, nnd speak out to their public servants in tones which cannot bo misunderstood, and must be obeyed. J!) n,.

The Compromise I think will pass the Senate, but within the last twenty-four hours changes have taken place, and it is totally impossible to tell what under^ plot the next twenty-four hours may bring. 'Under such circumstances, 1 confess I am entirely at sea with reference to the result. The Democrats are very uncertain people. If the South cannot support Gen. Taylor, I think it will find it a little difficult to follow these Democrats, who are, curiously enough, supporting the compromise with so much apparent zeal. "There are many things in heaven and earth," as Hamlet says, if we had but the, ."philosophy to find them out." Ipm** PINKNBY.

Gen. Taylor's Visit to Nqw England. The Boston Atlas contains a letter from Gov. Briggs, of Massachusetts, to President Taylor, conveying the resoltioasof the Legislature of that State, passed at its recent session, inviting the Chief Magistrate to visit New England. The fol Ipwing is the President's reply:

W ASHINGTON, June 1, I860.

S IB I have had the honor to receive your communication of the 28th ult., transmitting the resolves of the Legislature of Massachusetts, by which I am invited to visit that State during the present season.

I need not say how much I was di«-

tending my journey last year as far east* ward as Massachusetts. A desire to make the personal acquaintance of many friends in that ancient Commonwealth, and to manifest a grateful acquiescence in the wish of her Legislature, officially expressed, caused me deeply to regret the necessity under which I suddenly returned to the seat of government, it is my hope yet to fulfill my intention erf" visiting Massachusetts, an additional incentive to which is found in the renewed

TRANSPORTATION OF PAUPERS. It is a very common practice for the nations of Europe, in their local organizations, to raise funds to send their paupers to this country, and in some districts their convicts are sent to us at the public charge.1 This is not done with the design or wisfi of benefitting the paupers or convicts, but solely to relieve themseves of the burden of their sdpport.

While we welcome to our shores the poor and deserving but oppressed emigrant, who seeks this goodly land as a home, to employ their own energies for support, we regard the transportation of criminals, to prey upon tho industry and corrupt the morals of the country, and of paupers to fill our poor-houses, as impo* siiions—acts of gross injustice—meriting the rigid interposition of government.

The "Poor Law Guardians" of a single district in the county Limerick, Ireland, have resolved to send out tc America 1000 paupers, at the expense of the district, and it is said other districts will follow the example. These paupers are cast upon our shores like beasts, and left to our public and private charities for support—a selfisli and cruel act.— Cin. Gazette: ia'Jm nm mw

RAILROAD MATTERS. UNION TRACK.—The Union track running around the east and south sides of our city, connecting the four railroads that have been located to this place to gether, is now finished, and the locomotives and cars are daily passing from ihe Madison road over the track with rock for the bridge over White river for the Terre-Haute road, and with lumber and iron for the Bellfontaine road.

TERRE-H AUTE ROAD.—The company are prosecuting the grade of this road with energy. We understand that they propose completing the entire grading and bridging this season, from this city to Terre-Haute, preparatory to laying the iron next year.

INDIANAPOLIS AND BELLEFONTAINE ROAD.—This company are now laying their heavy rail at the rate of one and a half miles per week. We learn that the road will be ready to receive the northern business at Pendleton early in October, and will be pushed north to Anderson as soon thereafter as the iron shall be received.

THE GALPHINS.

The papers of the lower strata of Locofocoism call the Whigs the "Galphin Party," because of the payment of interest on a claim the principal of which was paid under Mr. Polk's administration. Now we have no defence to make of that claim. We believe it all wrong, from the passage of the act of Congress, the payment of the principal, and the payment of the interest on that principal but it does not compare in iniquity with the Swartwouts, the Harrises, ihe Prices, and a dozen others who stole their millions under the administration of Mr. Van Burs*.

HORRIBLE DISCOVERY. A barrel closely headed and marked as freight was caught in the Ohio, a short distance above the mouth of Green river, last Friday, upon opening which the body of a man most horribly mutilated was found within. The head, arms, and legs had been cut from the body and were in the barrel. An inquest was held over the remains by coroner Hallock, but, as they were entirely naked and considerably decayed, they could not be identified. Appearances placed the fact that he had been foully murdered, be yond doubt and we understand the jury of inquest returned a verdict according ly.—<Evansville (Ind) Jour. June> 10. ~~~~~~~

The New Comet is now faintly visible to the naked eye, in the constellation of Ursa Minor. It will continue to approach the earth until the middle of July, when it will attain its minimum distance from us of thirty-eight millions of miles, or less than one-half its present distance.-— As it is also approaching the Sun, it will become five or six times brighter than it is now.

On the 11th of July it will be seen few degrees to the West of the bright star Arcturas [sic], in the constellation Bootes. Moving rapidly to the South, it will pass near the Star Spica Virginis on the 23d of July, and will soon after descend below the southern horizon.

As it is already fast increasing in brightness, it will probably be distinctly visible to the naked eye during the middle of July.—<N. Y. Mirror>. ~~~~~~~
