PROSPECTIVE CABINET. The following list of probable Cabinet officersunder President Pierce is afloat in the journals .J&mes Buchanan, of Penneylvania, Secretary of State.

John A. DiX, of New York, Secretary of ill* Tr«atfUi David Todd, of Ohio, Secretary of the Interior.

RobertF. Stockton, of Iffcw Jersey, Secrstary of the Navy. Sam. Houston, of Texas, Sec'y of War.

Lvan Boyd, ofKy., Post Master General. Henry A. Wise, of Va., Attorney Gen'l. In addition to the'abovo, a Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Clipper says "Many persons have designated suitable

S*mes

ersons for the Cabinet and in addition to Buchanan, R. M. T. Hunter, of Virginia, has been named for the Treasury Mr. Dickinson, of New York, for the Navy Mr. Orr, of South Carolina, (without a protest,) for the War Mr. Peaslee, of New Hampshire, for the Interior, and Dr. J. W. Davis, of Indiana, for the post Office Department."

When the news of Pierced election reaches England we may lawk for a general illumination, particularly in the commercial anff manufacturing districts. Every Cotton Mill, and Woolen Factory, and Iron Works will be one blazo of light, and bonfires will gleam on every hill, for this fresh triumph of the British policy is America, which has prostrated our home industrial interests, and has sent England on a career of unexampled prosperity. The merchant princes and capitalists and manufacturers of England were deeply interested, and as anxious for Pierce's election as the Locofoco office seekers here, and they have more reaaon to rejoice. Locofoco policy has made us more a vassal of the mother country than we were before the Revolution, and John Bull can most complacently stroke bis dun, and laugh at our egregious folly.

The Stove store of Jons SATES possesses many attractions. His advertisement exhibits an extensive assortment in hie line of business. This is the season for looking after suchmateriai. Terre Haute can't be beat in the stove line.

The sermon of Theodore Parker, delivered in Boston a short time since, on the deatf and character of DASIEL WEBSTER is severely criticised all over the country. A writer in an exchange intimates that Parfc ia wholly incapable, both from moral ar. mental cattw®, of reaching to tbe first str in the road to the appreciation of a mind character Rke Mr. Webster's. He as* there".s an unfitness in the very fact ofh attempting it, hi eh must strike every ot at all conversant with the two men, as 1eongruoua and painfal.

The Now York Courier learna "from an undoubted source" lhat the Cuban expedition is in a forward state of preparation, and it is represented thai the utmost care has been taken by the leaders not to violate the neutrality law* of the United States. All the arms and ammunition required have been procured abroad in large quantities, and are now deposited without the boundaof the United States, in a depot known only to a few of the leading spirits. Not even a pop gun has been procured in the Uuited States.— The men are to leave this country as emigrants,—unarmed, and will sail from different ports, and,, it is calculated in such a manner, that uo suspicion shall go abroad as to their actual destination. The measures of the Revolutionists have been token with great circumspection, and, it is only to be feared, that those wbn embark in th's expedition will meet the bloody fate of their predecessors.

ILLINOIS.

Pierce and King get the State of Illinois by a reduced Democratic majority. The Whigs arc entitled "to great credit for their exertions in reducing the Democratic representation in Congress. Four Whigs will make quite a show from Illinois in Congress. We tiaVO kumc liopvo uf lli«l EJttlli JU[.— Four instead of one is good enough increase to begin with. Tho following is the list of members clected: 1 District—E. B. Washburn, Whig. 2 District—John Wentworth, Dem. 3 District—J. C. Morton, Whig. 4 District—James Knox, Whig. 5 District—W. A. Richardson, Dem. 6 District—Richard Yates. Whig. 7 District—James C. Allen, Dem. 8 District—Wm. II. Bissell, Dem. 9 District—Willis Allen, Dom.

REPUBLICAN FRAME. The grand spectacle of Louis NAPOLEON'S receptisn in Paris* after his.tOHr through the Provinces has passed. It was a great affair. Every precaution was taken against surprises, infernal machines, &c. Only think of a file of Natioual Guards stationed on boch sides of the way for the five miles length of the procession. Louis Napoleon is now in effect EMPEROR and will be pronounced so, formally, in a short time. A correspondent of the Ohio State Journal gives a graphic account of the grand reception. In reference to the means of precaution he says

It is well known that the Prince has more enemies in Paris than any where else in his kingdom and the police had therefore taken every precaution against the building of infernal machines which the experience of the past has afforded them. The whole line of procession, five miles long, was protected by a file of National Guards stationed on each side of the space for the cortege to pass, besides the several miles of military that preceded and followed the Emperor. Every musket was loaded, every bayonet fixed, and each cartouch box contained an abundant reserve of ball cartridges for any emergency.

THE REASON.

The reasons are plain enough when that matter is fairly considered. Let any one read the following from the Wheeling Ga-

sons. It is a plain truth told in very few words. It 6ums up large but rapidly. The reasons as here given are all susceptible of demonstration. The facta are now known. Such a combination of directly opposite principles never before operated against any man for any office. The Gazette thus tells it:

Our friends ask us to account for the terrible defeat sustained by the Whig party.— Certainly it is the easiest thing in the worjd. They had not votes enough. They were behind and they could not got up. It rained and they could not get to the polls—some of them had something else to do. The foreigners voted against Scott because he was a Native, the Natives because he was not one the South because he was an Abalitionist, and the North because he was a pro-sla-very man the Quakers because he was a soldier, and the b'hoys because he was a coward the Protestants because he was a Catholic, the Catholics because he was a Protestant, and the Empire Club because jdMsy wexe paid to do so,

UNFINISHED.—The severe spell of winter weather has caught a larger number of unfinished buildings, than was probably ever before seen at this season of the year in Terre Haute. People have evidently presumed too much upon extended and favorable Fall weather. There are at this time many large buildings as well as small ones, unroofed.— Some just ready for the covering, others about up to the square. While many roofed in still await the last finish of plastering, windows, doors, &c. This is perhaps a little <snap> which may teach a lesson by anoth er year. ~~~~~~~

Mr. Gather, of tho Madison Courier, makes sport of theidea of electing John W. Davis United States Senator. Referring to the selection of Davis, the Courier says:

Davis was speaker of the House, at Indianapolis, last winter so was young English and although the latter was not a "model of depotrment," like Mr. Davis, he was a better Speaker of the House- Torbett, of the Register'. J. P. Qhapman. Solon Turman—we could name half a hundred young men in ten minute#, any one of whom would make a better Senator than Hon. J. W. Davia—the American "model of deportment/'

ACCIDENT.—As the Southern stage was going to Vincennes on Monday, the horses ran away and upset the coach, just below Riggs'. Judge Ellis, of Vincennes, was a passenger, and was seriously injured. A reoirt is in circulation that he was killed by the accident, having had had skull broken: but we trust the report is incorrect.

Mr. Hale's vote is unexpectedly amall— probably it will not reach 75,000, though it was expected to exceed 200,000. "1

It is stated that the President elect will in a short time go to Virginia, where he intends spending the winter.

CLARK'S HOTEL.—Jas. S. Clark has just opened a public house near the Bridge, at the building some time sinve known as Green's Hotel.

A paragraph in the Courier of Monday in ioforonoe to tlic Prairio City Bnnk, teas correct. The Bank is now in operation,, ready for business, and doing business.

THE ART OF THINKING.—One of tho best modes of improving the art of thinking, is to think over some subject before you read upon it. unci then observe after what manner it has occurred to the mind of some great master you will then observe whether you have been too rash or timid what you have omitted and what you have exceeded and by this process you will insensibly catch the manner in which a great mind views a great question. It is right to study not only to think when any extraordinary incident provokes, you to think, but from lime to time to review what has passed, to dwell upon it, and to see what trains of thought voluntarily present themselves to your mind. It is a'most superior habit in some minds to refer all the particular truths which strike them to other truths more general, so lhat their knowledge is beautifully methodized, and a particular truth. This kind of understanding has an immense and decided superiority over those confused heads in which one fact is piled upon another without any anenipi ai classification or arrangement. Some men always read with a pen in their hand, and commit to ,paper any new thought which strikes them others trust to chance for its appearance. Which of those is ihe best method in the condu of the understanding must, 1 suppose, depend a good deal upon the understanding in question. Some men can do nothing without preparation—others little with it some are fountains others reservoirs—Sidney Smith.

MARRIAGE.

A practice prevails in the publication of marriages to announce that Miss A. marries Mr. 13. may he a species of gallantry 10 name the lady first, but it is j,iUv,o. *r ie woman only consents that he may lake her and, in consequence of ihis willingness on her pari 10 take upon herself all ihe cares of wedded life, the husband is required IO cherish and protect her.— The wife agrees to love,honor, and obey, which ate only promises contingent on the good conduct of ihe husband. The Scripture mentions lhat "he look unto himself a wife but we hear nothing about her taking unto herself a husband. When Jacob set out on his travels in search of a wife, he found Rachael at ihe well drawing water for the family. He stood on noceromony. He did not wait for ihe usual salutation of the day, or a formal introduction, butforthwith kissed her "and lifted up his eyes and wept."' The joy lhat overwhelmed him in finding such a pretty dom estic girl in ihe wilderness, gushed forth in a torrent of tears. All the while Rn* chael was passive. She made no advances. She did noi kiss Jacob, nor dftT she coyly resent the liberty he had taken. Here we have ihe negntivo consent—ihe submission of the female, and ihe successful and decided advances of the gentleman for Jacob was a gentleman of fortune and distinction. We should not therefore say in our journals thai iho lady married the gentleman.— She puis no ring on his finger to bind the obligation. She does not present her husband wiih a gold watch and chain, a diamond breast pin, or a pair of white kids.—Noah.

HENRY CLAY'S OFFICE.— N P. Willis, in a letter to the Home Journal, has the following notice of his visit to ihe office of Mr. Clay

You will readily see ihe association ol memories by which 1 turn from Downing working-place to the working place of Henry Clay—his law office— which 1 visited a few weeks ago nt Lexington. It was a small room opening direcily upon ihe side-walk f»f street much frequented. A large livery stable was jusi opposite, and its long line of unhoused vehicles extended along In front of .the office door, while a group ff stablemen and their hangers-on were discoursing of horse flesh in tones lhat must have been habitually oudibie to the great statesman nt hi? dfcsk. There was no one in the office, and the door was open.

A srnaJl and common desk, with leaf which turned up by a hinge, formed wiih two chairs, the only furniture—a naked arena, indeed, for a miud so plumed and equipped 1 Yet there was something within the bare wails which made me feel that rny head should be uncovered while standing within them. 1 he suffusion of blood over the heart, whitfh one feels at a great thought suddenly expres sed. or at the «ouiid of a trumpet, cann over me. Mr. Clay was still living, hut the morning's news hod prenounced hi* recovery hopeless. Never more *fould that tall form, with the knightly port and mien, enter that humble doer to unlock that humble desk, at which his, the most priocely spirit of the age. had patiently achieved his fame. A resentful thought at the weapons with which modern chiv* dry must achieve its triumph, if at all, was mingled with the tearful homage #lih which 1 remembered him who had •here used them.

THE CALCULATING MACHINE. We used to think it was a jest—the idea of a calculating machine; but we have seen it and its ingenious proprietor, Mr. Fuller, who is stopping at the Irving House. The rapidity and accu racy with which all business problems are solved is truly surprising. It needs only to be seen to be admired.

Although an AmericaniInvention, it has been extensively sold in England, France, Germany and Holland. Up wards of thirty of the principal London bankers have it in use. It computes interest at every possible rate, per cent, upon any sum of money, for any length of time, both at 360 and 365 days to the year, and has a most perfect time telegraph to compute the number of days any note has to run. To work equations of payments or average of accounts, is one of its conveniences. Copies have been purchased in Washington by all the departments, for use in the public offices, as well as by the principal bankers, merchants and mechanics. Less time is required to obtain an answer to any business question than to prepare the statement. Full printed directions accompany the work, It is learned by one or two hours' study and practice.— It occupied a prominent place in the Crystal I'alace. In response to some question yesterday, he stated in less time than the question could be prepared or the answer recorded, that the rotunda of the Capitol, being 90 feel in diameter would contain 2,830 persons, and allow each 2 1/4 square feet, or 18 by 18 inches.

The Crystal Palace, he said, being 1,851 feet long, and 400 wide, with an additional acre to the transcript or center measures 18 and would contain, at ihe same rate. 347,000 persons upon the ground.

The population of the globe, being estimated at 900,000,000 could stand upon 40—square miles, or an area oi six and 33.000 miles square.

If 900 millions of persons pass away every 30 years, and the world should be G.000 years old this would be equal to 300 times 9,000,000. Thus ihe entire number of persons would have standing room on 200 times 40 square miles or 0.000 square miles of land, or trifle less than 90 miles square.

If 900 millions die every thirty years, in one year thirty miiions die. If 30 millions 3G5 days, in one day 02,000 die. If in 24 hours 02.000 die, how many per hour? Ans. 3,420. If in GO minutes this number die, how many per minute?—Ans. G7. RS of fy'tmSJa o.tvjr

The expense of the House of Representatives at 60 per day, amounts to $1,944. The Salary of the President is $68^. per day. The pensions of ihe Laie Queen Adelaide,was £100^000 per nnuum, equal to $1,325 per day^.

The revenue of the United States for 1051, ai 52millions is equal to $1,65 per second. ,,

"LOCOFOCO REJOICING—One: would think, to hear the Locofoco rejoicing and crowing over the defeat of Gen. Scott, that he had fought all his life against his country instead of for it that the American people had wounded the heart of Sill nliomy innaofl a f. lonJ wl,o liad shed his blood for them that they had elected somebody to be proud of in lieu of him they might infer that it was really something to crow over and rojoioe at to see tho most famous and faithful defenders and guardians of our liberty in ihe Senate and in the field, bowing their heads, one after another, in sorrow, under a heavy and painful sense of popular ingratitude. As if it were really a good thing io give such votes as shall say to all young men now forming their character, and io all future generations, that no amount of talent, no self denials, no fidelity, however great, however long continued, however glorious in the service of the people, shall open a road to the honors of public station. So let it be. Let ihose who can rejoice at such a result, rejoice now, for '"How's the day nnd now1? the hour." •. -J .-'MI O. S. Journal.

TKFJIPFM^P- TTRA MOON UPON ^TIIE WEATHER.—A Paris astronomer has published the results twenty years' observations upon the influence of the moon upon the weather. From the new moon

the first quarter it rained (du

ring the period of twenty years embraced in the calculations) 7G4 days from the first quarter of the full moon it rained 845 days: from the full moon the last quarter it rained 761 days and from the last quarter to the new moon it rained 696 days so that during the moon's increase there were 1,609 rainy days, and during her decrease only 1.457—a difference of 162 days. This difference is more likely to have been accidental than the result of any natural cause nnd ihe conclusion which we derive from the statement U, lhat the moon has nojnflu* ence upon ihe weather.

THE ASIATIC CHOLERA.—The

London

correspondent of the Philadelphia North American, in his letter to the 25 ult, thus notices the appearance of this fatal disease

That terrible scourge,the Asiatic cholera, is steadily moving from East to West, as in 1835 and 1847, and is more fatal to the population than it was in those years. In Central Europe it l« sweeping away its thousands. From Persia, ihe cholera has spread through Turkey, Poland, nnd Prussia. It has proved very final io Warsaw, and also at Damzic. Accounts received from Posen state thtjt fh» pioportion of" deaths to Ythe number of norspns attac|ce| continTjes iiltimrtngly highM-ouf of sitty-eight new eases, fifty-eight were fatal, in mo places thero was «t#ch a general panic that the courts were adjourned. 11 is feured in England thut ihe cholera will go over the same track this year --that after reaching the Western ports of' the continent it Will firM appear on the Eastern coast of England, nnd from this country it will pursue its course

A division of Texas has been in agu ation in that State for more than two years past. Ai the present time ihe ad voeates of division are mainly in Eastern Texas, where .several newspapers are enlisted in the cause. We are in formed by the Houston Telegraph that the scheme is rapidly gaining favor, and thai ii is even proposed to hold an e,xtri| session of the Legislature upon ihe sub ject./ij The Telegraph strenuously op ses it, urging that, if there should be a .division of tho Siate, as proposed, into Eastern and Western Texas, there would be great danger of the western section becoming a free State, which the Triegraph thinks would much depreciate ihe value of slave property in Eastern Texas.

The greater part of ihe wines and brandies made in France are manufactured from the juice of the potato. This may appear incrediiable to many, but to chemists it is as easy as ii was for our grandmothers to manufacture starch from the same nulpous root. All intoxicating liquors have the same ingredients with ihe exception of a small quantity of oil peculiar

each article out of

which liquor is extracted. Hence the difference between the component pans of potato whisky, and French brandy is but slight. The basis of alcohol is sugar, and from any subsiancc containing thai article, an Lnioxicating liquor can be made by fermentation. ..

In a short time after this, he was taken ill, the limb became black, and several medical gentlemen were called in, among whom was Prof. Mutter. An opinion was entertained yesterday, that the bruised and. strained limb will have
