Bonatr Lud Warranto.

The bill making load warrants assignable, haying passed both Houses of Congress, the Intelligencer says, there is no reason to doubt it will at once receive the signature of the Preside**, and dfcs become a law.— It will benefit many of the recipients of this bounty of the Government, who, possessing warrants for land, are themselves unable to locate them.

This act authorizes all warrants issued, or hereafter to be issued, under any law of the United States, and all valid locations to be assignable by deed or instrument of writing, made and executed after the taking eflfect of the act according to forms and regulations prescribed by the Commissioner of the Gen «ral Land Office. Any person entitled to preemption right to any land, shall be entitled to use any such warrant in payment of the same, at $1,25 per acre. Warrants may lie located in one body upon any lands of the United States, subject to private entry at the time of each location, at the minimum price When said warranto shall be located on lands which are subject to entry, at a greater minimum than 81,35 per acre, the locator of said warrants shall pay the United States, in cash, tbo difference between the value of such warrants at $1,25 per acre and the tract of land located on.

Count Pulszky is out in another defence of Kossuth and is disposed to be particularly sharp on those who do not fully come into every measure advocated by the Hungarian. Some of the most prominent are named.— He exalts over the shrewdness of Kossuth and says when the smoke of the broadsides that had been brought against him had cleared away, he remained unhurt. Here is an extract from his letter:

Russian and Austrian diplomatists are disappointed their great plan to fix Governor Kossuth in the United States by kindness and triumphs proves to be a failure.— Thev have, therefore, formed their army in battle array, and with nntired energy, worthy of a better cause, they lead their forces to decisive struggle. The heroic General Watson Webb marshals the host Orestes Brown son, that prototype of consistency, is )ila field-chaplain, and bi««rp Pittsburgh, gives his blessing to the gallant army or the faith. Mr. Barney of Baltimore, the invalid ladv of Virginia, and the sexagenarian of the National Intoliigencer, the staff, and the rank and file consists of all those who believe that the example of the United States will induce the Czar and the Emperor of Austria to abdicate in favor of the Republic, and to turn monks and plant cabbages like Charles V. and Diocletian.

CALUTORIUA ATOSLAVRRY.—The fugitive •tare law lately passed the California Assembly provides that slaves brought into the State prior to the adoption of the State Constitution, shall be Mable to the provisions of the Congressional fugitive slave law. That, it »\leg«xl,U an infraction of the Constitution which says that neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except for crime shall ever be tolerated ia the State.

In the California Assembly, Feb. 10, Mr. Peachy presented a memorial from a number of Farmers, or planters, of South Carolina, and Florida, asking the privilege to bring their families and colored domestics into the State, and that they may be protected ia their property. The memorial was referred to a committee on federal relations.

A MB has also been introduced into the Legislature to call a convention to revise tbe Constitution, the object being to A vide t*» Bute, and eet

®MPLOYMENTS~LON(JEVITY. For a number of years past the State of Massachusetts has registered births, deaths, and marriages. The Secretary of State has prepared a table of the vocations as well as the ages of several thousand persons who died between 1843 and 1850. The table embraces the average ages for Farmers, Laborers, Carpenters, Shoemakers,Merchants and Professional men, as follows:

Vocation

Farmers laborers Carpenters Shoemakers Merchants

Professional men 312 67.50 The average life of the farmer is eighteen years longer than that of the laborer. The merchant averages over the carpenter, but under the farmer. The shoemaker has an indoor occupation, and averages six years less than the carpenter.

A short time ago the Democratic Review published a severe article on Gen. Butler and the "old Fogies." Judge Douglas sent a telegraphic dispatch to the editor of the Review remonstrating against the appear ance of the article. The following ia the spicy reply of the editor. It does not show that the Review is so strongly in favor of Douglas as has been represented:

ASTOR HOUSE, N. Y.,Feb. 20,1852. Hon. S. A Douglas:—Sir:Iam happy to inform you that your telegraph came too late to save your friend, General Butler and candor compels me to say, that had it come in time, it would not have changed a word of the article. We know the man and the Review would be treacherous in its duties to the party if it failed to expose his delin quencies.

The fogy atmosphere of Washington makes cowards of you all, and the sooner you understand that you cannot direct the columns of the Review, the better. [Signed] G. N. SANDERS.

NEW ROUTE TO CALIFORNIA.—A compa ny has been organized and incorporated by by the name of the "Mexican Ocean and Main Inland Company," who propose a new and shorter route to San Francisco, than any

yet

known. They have procured the

right of way from the Mexican Government from Vera Cruz by the national road to Puebla, and thence to Coacuaco on the Mesecala river, and down the river to the Pacifiic, there to meet steamers for San Francisco They also have the exclusive right to the transportation of all foreign mails across Mexico for fifteen years. This route is two thousand miles shorter than the Panama, a thousand shorter than the Nicaragua, and five hundred shorter than the Tehuantepee route.

WEATHER ARDSEASOH.—Itis said that the winter which has been so severe here, has been very spring-like in Europe. In Paris at the beginning of February, roses, lilacs, and hyacinths filled the flower markets. According to advices from the North, a milder season has not been experienced—even as far as Norway—since the commencement of the century. Since March has come in here, we have had all sorts of weather.— The thermometer varying from 18 to 75.— Thus giving us winter or summer alternate hr •—«"»w «f Mjurek. For a few days past we have had weather mild enough —now again it is cold.

CoitSTIMPTIOIF A2ID PRODUCT OP WOOL IW THE UNITED STATES.—The wool produced in the United States in 1850,according to the census returns amounted to 52,422,797 lbs., the quantity manufactured was 70,862,829 lbs., cansequently, over eighteen millions of lbs. had to be imported. The principal woolgrowing States of the Union are: Ohio, 10,080,607 lbs. New York, 10,021,507 lbs. Pennsylvania, 4,784,367 lbs. Vermont, 3,492,087 lbs. Virginia, 2350,909 lbs. Indiana, 2,502,763 lbs. Kentucky, 2,246,168 lbs. These States raise more than twothirds of the whole quantity.

THE MORMON REVOLT.—"A Californian," in the National Intelligencer, has given his opinion that when we next hear from Utah, the report of the Mormons having set up an independent government of their own in that territory will be substantially confirmed. It certeinly could not be very astonishing, for that people are certainty the most stubborn fantastics on the continent, and being the originators of that "<higher law>" of which we hear so much, they are fitted for any enterprise, however extreme and reckless ~~~~~~~

OLD FERRY.—It looks something like old times—at least times gone by, to see the old flats again crossing back and forward at the old ferry. Long strings of emigrant wagons, each waiting its turn, for the boat. It seems like retrograding, in these progressive times. <That ill wind>, which blows nobody good, may be considered revived, in its application to our bridge and ferry. The bridge has lost its power for the present, and the ferry comes into play. This is reversing the order of things with a witness; or rather too many witnesses for the expedition of travellers, ~~~~~~~

LAIH WARRAKTS.—The Republic states that land warrants issued under the act of 1850 are not yet assignable. The Senate and House of Repreeentatives have disagreed on the details of a bill making them assignable and the sabject is now before a joint committee of conference.

WHIG CONVENTION OF IOWA.—The Whig Convention of the Slave of Iowa, held at Iowa City, have unanimously adopted the following resolutions:

of our foreign and domestic affairs deserves the highest admiration and firmest support and that we have the assurance that, under such an

Admin

Resolved, That our warmest gratitude is due 10 those of whatever political party who have, within the last two years, battled for the union of these Slates, and that we now regard ihe question out of which our apprehensions of disunion arose as now settled, now and forever.

Resolved, That, as our motto has always been, and will ever continue to be '•'PRINCIPLES NOT MEN," we will cordially support ihe nominees of the Whig National Convention for the next^President and Vice President of States.

the United

MASSACHUSETTS WHIG CONVENTION.— The Whigs of Massachusetts held their TSiate Convention at Boston on the 18th. Presidential electors and delegates to the Whig National Convention were appointed. The Boston Atlas says: "The utmost harmony and good feeling prevailed and a strong determination expressed was to stand by the old

Whig party of the State and nation, and abide by the nominations made by the Whig delegates in the county, State and National Conventions. "It was voted unanimously, o£ the sense of this convention, that "The Whigs of Massachusetts will abide hy and support the nominees of the Whig National Convention."

The Convention then adjourned, with three cheers for the nominees whoever they may be. Thus ended one of the most agreeable and united Whig conventions that we have ever attended.

CONNECTICUT WHIGS. The Whigs of Connecticut held a State Convention at New Haven on the 4ih March, instant, for the purpose of nominating State officers. They passed a series of resolutions, two of which we copy below:

Resolved, That the measures passed by Congress in 1850, for the settlement of highly exciting sectional questions, were adopted upon the principle of mutual concession and compromise, and that they ought therefore to be maintained inviolate, and carried out in good faith by all sections of the country.

Resolved, That we gratefully accord to President Fillmore and his distinguished Cabinet the praise erf conducting his administration upon truly national principles, with high ability, integrity, and wisdom.

THE CLAY MEDAL.—The carpet bag containing the medalef Mr. Clay has been found, but all its contents gone. The medal itis feared, has been melted down. Its donors have written to Mr. Butler, thanking him forms

The Infant Drummer, only three years old, seems to be astonishing the people of Indianapolis by his wonderful performance.— We would like to see him over this way.— Send him over Mr. Journal,there if no doubt about his making it "pay."

EXPULSION OF MISSIONARIES.—A treaty has been entered into with tho Indian tribes of the Middle District of Oregon, which contains the extraordinary provision tlmt no American missionary shall be allowed ever again to enter their country.

THE LADY'S BOOK.—Goder'sLady's Book for April is on our table, and continues to be a magazine of the finest order in every respect. The article on "steam" is not "light literature" by any means. The other articles are highly interesting.

We have received the Daily Tribune pubfished at New Albany by Milton Greg®, formerly of the Madison Tribune. The Tribune is a good sixed paper, well printed, and well filled. We wish Mr. Gregg success with his new enterprise.

FOR CALIFORNIA.—Robert R. Stewart, Joeeph Stewart, of Terre Haute, and Mr. Yardley of Cincinnati, started for California last night by way of St. Louis and the plains. ~~~~~~~

The Ohio Stage Company are considering a proposition to run a line of coaches from the States to some point in California. It will require about 1,900 horses. ~~~~~~~

A VALUABLE TRSS—IT WILL DO FOR •wnt.—'There is a tree in Mexico called CHUOL, a very fine wood which becomes petrified after being cut, in a very few years, whether left in the open air, or burled. From thit timber, bouses could be boifd that would in a few years become fire-proof, and last as long as those built of atone. The wood in a greenstate is easily worked it is used in building wharves forts, etc., and would be excellent for railroad alee per*, or plank-road suing*.

TERREi HAUTE, IND.F APRIL 3, 1852.

CONGRESSIONAL EXCEEDING*. March 23. HOURS.—Mr. Grow, of Penn., presented resolutions of the Pennsylvania Legislature, asking the establishment of a dry dock and navy yard at Lake Froulter and another relative to Smith O'Brien.

The Speaker placed before the House an executive communication, in answer to a resolution adopted on the 15ih ultgiving information ns to the seizure and confiscation of the vessels, Georgians, of Maine, and Susan Soul, of Mass. referred to committee QQ foreign affairs.

Also, communication from the navy department, in reply 10 a resolution calling for information to show the cost of foreign mail service, and all items connected with the c9ntract ordered to be printed.^ A

The House went into committee of the whole on the deficiency bill. Mr. Cleveland spoke about extravagance in the army, and thought it had bolter be disbanded than favoritism and fraud should be continued, such as paying $£0 per ton for hay, tho seller dividing ihe plunder with the officers.— The House should hold the purse strings.

Mr. Gorman, of Ind., commented on the fact of increased cost for maintaining soldiers. There was corruption in ihe department officers were in partnership with men who sell horses, and thus managed to fleece the Government. He knew, he said, of one officer who had thus defrauded the Government, and had settled down independent at ease in Oregon, with a hundred thousand dollars.

Cries of, 'who is he?'—'his name?' Mr. Gorman would not tell publicly, but would give ihe name to any one privately, and bo responsible.

Mr Gentry replied: The* Secretary of War does come forward and explain the cost of the service, and admits corruptions but they did not begin yesterday they have existed for years. Lt is in the item of transportation principally that the expenses of the quartermasters department have increased. The President and Secretary were not responsiple for the acquisition of California, and the territory which requires this force for the protection of our people, and the carrying out of our treaty stipulations with Mexico. Extravagance was not, therefore, changable to the Administration.

The debate was continued, consisting of a repetition of charges of extravagance against the Government, and a defence of ihe Executive Department. Without concluding, the House adjourn-

SENATR.—Mr. Seward presented the petition of Mr. Harrison, of Brooklyn N., Y., proposing to establish a line of steamers between Brooklyn and Gheckstadt, on the Elbe, near Hamburg, so as to make semi-monihly passages, proposed to build four steamers,of two thousand tons, to be ready in two years, others in three, to carry mails and passengers, at such rates as he shall be able to obtain. He asks Congress to grant him the first three years 100,000, ihe next three §85,000, and ihe next three 875,000 per annum, for each vessel engageq in the service. The petition sets out ihat this line will secure to the United States the direct carrying trade between New York, now largely possessed by England.

The bill regulating salaries of territorial officers was taken up it repeals provisions in tho appropriation act which prohibited judges and other officers absent from their territories over sixty, days from receiving pay for said time. But requires, thai 10 draw pay during absence, hereafier, must be approved by the President after some debato it was ordered to bo engrossed.— The bill to establish a dry dock and navy yard at San Francisco was taken up. Mr. Gwinn addressed the Senate in fuvor of the same.

A Nice Fi* for A Judge.

An eminent Judge of Paris recently, on returning with his wife to that city after tour in Belgium, was informed by the lady that she had a Malines lace in her port mameau. She desired her husband to conceal it in his hat in order to escape detection at the Cussom-House. The worthy gentleman, in a state of great perplexity, and vastly annoyed at the imprudence of his wife, at last consented. cramed his hat over his ears, and when arrived at the station, handed hi passport to the Custom House officials with an assumed air of indifference.— When his position became known, he was treated with the profoundest courtesy, and his baggage passed without examination but, as ill-fortune would have It, the head of the Custom-House, and the commander of the local gendarmerie, hearing of the arrival of so distinguished a personage, came post haste to pay his respects. Totheir polite salutation, the Judge, forgetting the lace, responded by raising his hat, when to his dismay, the contents being liberated, he was enveloped, head and shouders. as with a marriage veil. The offence was too public to be overlooked, and the gentlen\pn was detained until an investigation could be made..

Mr. McCartr*s Resignation, ft* Mr. M'Carty has resigned his seat in the Senate, to make arrangements preparatory to the canvass. Upon submitting his resignation to the Senate, Mr. McCnriy l6sued the following neat address to his constituency: To THE PEOPLE OP MARION COUNTY*

Fellow Citizens:—Feeling greatly indebted to you, for your very liberal patronage to me in my pursuits in private life, from the day I settled amongst you (the 10th of October, 1823.) and being sensible that whisoever standing I have acquired in public esteem is owing lo the genero is confidence reposed in me by you, for which I trust I have those feelings of gratitude which every right minded and hearted man would have, and trust I muy further rely upon your approbation in the course I now,after mature deliberation, feel it my duty to pursue. 1849, by your suffrages, 1 was placed in the State Senate. I have served the length of time commonly allotted to the term of service in that body. The last session of my term, not yet finished, has been greatly lengihende, by circumstances unnecessary here to explain. Whilst engaged in your service in the Senate. I have not presumed to be, or tried to be a leader, but have endeavored to aid in carrying out everything I deemed best for the public interest, and in preventing every thing deemed otherwise. I feel conscious of having endeavored to be faithful, and my only regret is that I have not been able to bring to my aid more ability in the discharge of my duty. Fidelity is all 1 promised. Whether 1 have fulfilled that promise or not, is submitted to your judgment. lt is scarcely necessary for me to bring to your notico the fact, publicly known that the late Whig Suite Convention placed my name on their ticket, as a candidate for the most responsible trust known to our State. It is alike due to you and myself to state, that whilst I trust I properly appreciate the confidence indicated by the nomination, it was the spontaneous act of that convention—as unexpected to me three days before it took place, as it was unsought, lt was however, tendered under circumstances that I believe my constituents, of every party, will say 1 but acted the part of duty in accepting.

I now ask and desire of you that you will add another lo the many obligations under which you have placed me, by ap probating the step 1 feel called upon to take, in resigning into your hands, as 1 now do, the trust reposed in me as your Senator. Such a measure is indispen sable, to enable me to arrange my busi ness affairs so as, with any comfort, to give a portion of my time and attention to the approaching canvass and I feel that you can the more readily approbate my course as there is a vacation of the session till the 20th of April, giving you ample time to elect one fresh from amongst you to fill the vacancy feelings of gratitude, I remain

OREGON TIMBER.

HOW THEY CUT IT.—The trees in Oregon have been a subject of remark on account of their immense size. A letter from Oregon mentions the fact that the keel of the steamer Lot Whitcomb, 160 feet long, is made from the length of a tree. One tree on the claim of Judge Strang, Cathlamet, a drawing of which was was recently made for a London pictorial newspaper, stood 10 feet in diameter at the bottom, and 230 feet high. But trees are found that measure 300 feet as they lay extended on the ground, and near the coast 200 feet in length of saw logs have been taken from a tree on more than one occasion. Fir and spruce run up, spire like, furthest among the clouds, never throwing out any large lateral branches.

The manner of felling spruce timber is somewhat peculiar. With a large auger, a hole is boared [sic] through the green standing tree, or two holes so bored as to meet within the white or sap part of the wood. Then a coal of fire is put into the hole. The draught of air sets it to burning, and in from six to twelve hours, according to the size of the tree, it falls, with little or no more waste of wood, than would be used by an axeman. It is then butted and cut up with a saw. Thus fifteen minutes with an auger does the work of a half or twothirds of a day with an axe. ~~~~~~~

FRANCE, ENGLAND AND BEtGltfil. The English papers notice a very significant change in the tone of Louis Napoleon's official organ, the Monitcur, on the question of war with England.— Louis Napoleon, according to the Moniteurnow thinks of nothing but peace and good will with all nations. This change of tone is attributed, by a portion 6f the British press, to a despatch sent by ihe Government of Great Britain to the French government of the effect that, in the event of a single French soldier entering the Belgian territory, the ciiy of Antwerp with its citadel and ihe forts on the Scheldt, would at once be occupied by an English Army of 10, 000 men. It has been, at the same, announced that the English occupation would be accomplished with the express sanction and concurrence of all the great powers of Europe, including Russia.

Mr. Clay, although he had not •slain a Mexican,' proved himself too much for his honored assailant he seized hold of both horns of the dilemma, and then 'was the tug of war'—for Greek had met Greek. The struggle was long and doubtful. 'Hah?' exclaimed the statesman. 'I have got you fast, you rascal! I'll teach you better manners.

Louis NAPOLEON.—There are many Americans who frequently met Louis Napoleon in English society during his exile from France. And they must all have noticed one marked feature of his character, which goes far towards explaining his recent course. Ho was then, and is now, as thorough and enthusiastic as any religious devotee or social reformer of the past or present age. He has also believed himself destined by heaven to revenge the defeat and renew tho glories of the old Napoleon.

In conversation during his banishment, he steadily spoke of himself as one marked out for great deeds, and of all the revolutions and troubles of France as only ihe preparation for his certain advent. There was in his manner, while speaking of these things, nothing affected or overwrought, an apparent sincerity and earnest conviction. He seemed to regard himself as distinctly set apart for that special work, and was only wailing the time when Providence should open the door for htm to enter upon its performance.—If. Y. Times.

Location of Heaven and He!!* Some weeks ago. Dr. Porter, of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church in this city, in the course of a series of eloquent astronomical sermons, preached a discourse on tho "locality of heaven, astronomically considered, and located that happy place in the centre of our solar Rystem—in the sun. Last Sunday evening he discoursed to one of the largest audiences we have ever seen in Memphis, on the "locality of hell," and fixed ihe abode of the damned outside of the solar and astral system. In the "outer darkness," beyond the light of the sun and

stars,

The combatants were nearly exhausted goaty had the advantage for he was gaining breath, and all the while that the statesman was loosing it. 'Boys,' exclaimed he, puffing and blowing, 'this is rather an awkward business.

DISTILLED AND MALT LIQUORS. The Washington Telegraph has a table showing the production of intoxicating liquors in the Uuited States and Territories. The details are taken from the recent Census Returns. The Telegraph says that the table does not reveal the quantities of wines and liquors consumed in the United States annually, but simply the quanties produced, and the direction given to a capital of eight and a third millions of dollars, and in a direct way to the labor of Jive and a half thousand of men, leaving out of view the capital and labor expended in producing the grain, &c., and in the subsequent treatment, sale &c., of the labratory. The following are the reuslts of the addition in this table: Bushels of barley annually consumed

INSOLENCE*

1 a letter from F. Pulszky (an attache of Kossuth) to the editor of the NewYork Tribune, in speaking of the opposition to the conrse pursued by Kossuth^ he has the insolence to speak of those^ American citizens who will not consent that this foreign adventurer shall plunge the United States into war with the powers of the coniineu^as'Russo-Austrians' and 'Austro-Russians.' This man was brought here at the expense of the country, in a government vessel—was entortained at Washington city at an enormous cost to the nation—and now, because the American people will not submit to be dictated to and brow-beaten by his leader, they are denounced by him as 'Russo-Austrians'-—siqnifirjuionL of the epithet being that they aro false to their country, and favorable to tho despots of the continent! «A stranger who thus abuses the hospitality which has been kindiy extended to him, deserves to be forcibly ejected from all respectable American, society.—Baft.

FROM WASHINGTON—The Hirer and Harbor bill will soon be reported. The works will cover appropriations forwhat are generally admitted to be constitutional objects, and to an amount of $1,100,000. The light House Department and ihe subject of House and Buoyb are also before the House committee, who will consider the expediency of establishing a Board of Commissioners ^to, manage the Light House and Buoy department, end will probably agree to propose it. The next subject which tbo Committee will take up is that of commercial intercourse with the North American British Provinces. The views of a majority of the Committee are entirely favorable to the adoption of a system of reciprocity.

OPENING OF THE WABASH AND ERIE CANAL TO EVANSVILLE.—The Evansville Journal of Friday, says:

The canal boat Express arrived on Wednesday from Millersburg, sixteen miles from this place. She brought down thirteen hhds. of tobacco, as much as she could carry with the shallow water. This is the first arrival of produce at Evansville on the Wabash and Erie canal, the great artery of commerce extending from Lake Erie to Evansville. We understand that there are about 500 hhds. of tobacco at and in the neighborhood of Millersburg awaiting shipment, besides a large amount of other produce. It is a great pity we could not have had the water let in the canal so far as it is finished to this point. ~~~~~~~

RESULTS OF INTEMPERANCE.—Henry T. Russell, not many years ago one of our well known, prosperous and most respected citizens—the kind husband and happy parent, died day before yesterday near Madison, Ind., in a fit of delirium tremens,amidst the most abject, poverty. But one human being wa3 present at that scene of death—the wife. She only was left to weep and mourn for the departed and his estrangement from the path of rectituted. His children, cherished objects of his love and pride were gone—one to the House of Refuge, and the two to their cold grave. What a fearful warning to,fee%air& „of ihe tempting cup.—Cin.
