Vv,k"

•—f«ny is

RIVER.—The Wabash is in fair navigable order. The steamers Julia Ann and Friend ship are above. Three or four boats are telegraphed as in the river below.

Hoe MARKET.—There is but little if any change of prices within a week. $5,75 may be quoted as about the standard for good tats at the present time. There is now a large business doing—all the pork bouses in full operation.

N. F. CVXSIKGHAM, Esq., of Vigo, has been proposed by several Democratic papers as a candidate for the Canal Trusteeship, to he filled by the Legislature this winter.— This is no affair of ours, but if the place is "to bejfilled by a Democrat from Vigo, we Question whether a more suitable name can ibe found than the one proposed.

.sV" EQUALIZATION. The Hon. WILLARD CARPERTEB of Evansville will address the citisens of Vigo, at Terre Haute, on Wednesday, the 22nd •Inst., in support of the law passed by our Legislature at its last sessiou, creating a $3TATE BOARD OF EQUALIZATION.

The Brother Jonathan, and a capital num her it is too for Christmas and New Year, has been received and is for sale at Buck,

ingham's Book Store. Everybody that enjoys Christmas and New Year should have a copy of the Jonathan.

country.

The VIGO AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY will hold a meetiug in the Court House in Terre Haute, on Saturday next, the 25th inst, at a o'clock, P. M. Farmers, mechanics, and the community generally, are invited to attend, as business of importance will be laid

before the meeting.

I MECHANICS HISTORICAL SOCIETY.—The Mechanics Historical Society has made arrangements for a series of ten or more Lectures during the winter season. We are assured tbis enterprise will be appreciated by ill of our citizens who are plewwJ with the "intellectual entertainment of Lectures upon various subjects. The Historical Society has furnished us with discourses upon entertaining and useful topics on former occasion^ and we trust their efforts for the present winter will be fully acknowledged by our cititens. A number of distinguished Lecturers are engaged for the course, and the jjrice for single admission or for the term is ao very reasonable that all the Lectures «hould be attended by a full audience. The first Lecture of the course will be delivered by Professor W. C. Larrabee, on Tuesday .evening next, at the Univerajlist Church.

CLOCK IKGESWITY.—A citiscn of Ithlca, New York, has invented a clock, and is now going largely into the manufactory of the article, which will run for one year without winding or setting, and in addition to its value as a correct tune piece, its calendar exhibits the month, the day of the month, the day of the week and the year. The machinery of the clock ia simple, end its movements are strictly accurate. Itt designations of the day of the month is surprising. For the month having but 80 day* ft denotes that number, and so for 91 days 'mrhtla for February it points to only 23,'ex c«Pt for leap year 29.'

P. Willis, In his letters on Cuba, say* "Whatever Republican k»ve 'may be for us among the crtolcs in other parts of the Island, there ie no trace of it be found in the scornful lip of the Havana gentleman recognising an American. A coffee house in the superb, the walls o( which are painted with caricatures of as, gives a key to the feeling most prevalent in

the Metropolis." ....... f-nnmniii DEATH or MADAME D'Aacmorr.—The Cincinnati papers State that a A sew WJUGHT D'A nvsaoxT,better known a* FAS HT WRIGHT, died tn that city a FEW aay» since. She had been confined to her room for several months, in consequence of a fall which occurred last winter.

CONORRN.

In the Senate Dee. 14th, Atchison again took the chair, owing to the President's sickn«M.

Davis presented petition, asking that the operation of the ate«rabQ*| law jpasied last sewion. be delayed.

Broadband gave notice of a hill to change the bounty land law ao as to give all one hundred and sixty acrea of land, ^3

Davis called the attention of the Senate to that portion of the Message alluding to Mr. Webster's death, and pronounced an eloquent eulugy.

Giddings remarked that slavery was the only trade that was protected. He said that the man whose death had just been announced in the Senate, put forth a programme. which was carried through by the influence of the Executive, and each year the President has congratulated the country on the protection afforded Southern masters. More fugitives, he said, had passed into Canada during the last three months than ever before.

CALIFORNIA NEWS.

The last mails and steamers from California bring accounts of a dreadful fire at Sacramento City—nearly every house in ashes —the Ipss estimated at ten millions of dollars. As many of our friends from Vigo and Terre Htute have iocated in Sacramento, great fears are entertained that some or many of them may have sustained heavy loss in the conflagration.

A destructive fire had also been experienced in San Francisco on the 10th of Nov. destroying $150,000 of property. Marysville had also suffered from afire which had destroyed a large portion of the town on the 17th of Nov.

The majority for Pierce and King in California was about 5000. The State election resulted as follows Senate, six Democrats and seven Whigs.— House 41 Democrats and 19 Whigs, with three districts to hear from

The Lafayette papers state that the shortest route by which to reach Terre Haute now, from that place, is by way of Indianapolis, leaving Lafayette at six in the morning and reaching Terre Haute at five in the even ng. We suppose it is about the same as to time in passing from Terre Haute via Indianapolis, to Lafayette, one da} only being required.

The most destructive fire that ever occurred at Danville, Ind., broke out on the evening of the 13th. Theeiorth side of the Public Square was almost entirely swept away, leaving but one small building. Dry Goods

The Baltimore American illustrating the extent to which the oyster trade has advanced between Baltimore and the W«st. mentions that one of the largest and most enterprising concerns in the oyster trade is now forwarding daily to the West, by way of the Baltimoie and Susquehanna Railroad and the Pennsylvania improvements, eight tons oftoysters in cans. The operations of this one concern comprise the opening of two thousand five hundred bushels of oysters per day, giving constant employment to one hundred and fifty-seven men and boys*

CLAY MOROXERT.—We understand that W. If. EDWARDS, Esq., of this place, has been appointed to receive subscriptions for a Clay Monument to be erected at Lexington, Kentucky. We have not been inform ed of particulars.

A committee of the Sonih Carolina Legislature, to whom the suject was re. ferred, have reported against a bill eu ihorizing the sale of free persons of color for debt.

CABINET MAKtftU,

A Washington correspondanvof the Now York Times writes thus: It is now doubled by acme of the Initiated whether General Cats and Gov ernor Marcy have, in fact, thrown them* selves out of fortune's way and tho track of preferment, by positively declining to receive Cabinet appointment, I do not believe they have done this, because they eould not well refuse what they are not yet offered. *^**1

&

1 learn from a private source, friendly to the la*t named gentlemen, that he is ready to comply with his country's will, at any pepon»[ lncoiurci\ieac« IOL him •eif. n? jTT

Mr. Buchanan has stated, In public in the town wnere he resides, his appro* henwion lost he should be forced by the importunity of his friend?, and contrary to his own Inclination, to return to the State Department. Gov, Marcy obtain* ed so much eclat by his Scott letter, that he wishes to try the metal of his pen in diplomatic correspondence. Gen. Cass, Mr. Buchanan, and Gov. Marcy are all eager to take the State Depart menu All the men of Mr. Polk's Cab inet would be glad to get back to official life in Washington. Every man, no matter of what party or section, that has once tasted the luxury and excitement of Cabinet oihoe in Washington, 1s glad to get back to it, and cannot be content without it. Men of highly cultivated tastes, like Mr. Wdbster, might be ex ceptions. He had in himself, and in his favorite private pursuits, his genial temper and love of his friends, resources for retirement that few others of our public men havs possessed. Accordingly, when they are thrown out of Congress after long session, or out of diplomatic executive office, they mope away an empty and insipid existence, if they do not, as they most generally do, cheer it with a resort to artificial stimulants The brandy bottle generally brings them up at last.

Gen. Cass is undoubtedly preferred by the flibusters [so called] as Secretary of State, because he has always held a high tone in regard to our Foreign relations. But for this reason, the Democrats at the South and of the North also, are reluctant to trust him with the management of Foreign Affairs. Mr. Doug lass they are very shy of, for the same reason.

It has been argued by some that the State Department ought to be given to a Southern man, on the ground that the Southern is, as Mr. Calhoun used to say, the weaker section of the Union, and cannot, therefore, venture to make foreign enmities while uncertain of do mestic peace. Rut at the present time, no Southern Democrat is viewed as competent to fill the station, except Mr. Hunter of Va., and it is quite certain that he will neither accept it, nor the Treasury Department either, fpr which he is better qualified.

Mr. Wise would accept it, and perhaps looks for it. He will not be trusted, for the reason that he would explode the Cabinet, upon the first serious question that might arise. There is Gov. Foote, of Mississippi, who is deserving of netice. He would be acceptable to the "Lone Star Order," judging from his message on the subject of the Cuban flurry, upon which document Mr. Benton has opened his fire through a Missouri paper. V.r

A MILITARY FAUX PAS.—The Ssn Antonio (Texas) Ledger relates the fol: lowing:

Our love for the miliiary and their exploits in Texas is boundless and known. They are always ready to pardon us for narrating small jokes on them. An order had been issued for General Smith to follow all suspicious trails. A report reached the station at San Saba, that a fresh Indian trail had been described some twenty-five miles distant. The little fortress was thrown in terrible confusion. Horses and armour were put in immediii* requisition. On dashed our gallant defenders. Anon, the timid closed their eyes and uiterecl a" prayer, while the more*- valiant bathed their souls with thoughts of glory and shouted forth battle cries. At last they reached the long sought for trail, an?I sped along with momentary expectation of encountering the ruthless savage. The truth must be told, they were in pursuit of the Commander-in-Chief of the Kighth Military Departntent, the redoubtable General Smith himself. They were on his trail. They .returned bro-ken-hearted. !»., /j1'1"":

IMPROVED LOCOMOTIVES.—It is stated in an English paper that contract was some time ago entered into between the directors of the London and Northwestern Railway company and Messrs. Fairbairn, of Manchester, for the construction of a number of Locomotive engines, designed by Mr. McConneli of Wolverton, for the attainment of high speed. The first of these locomotives has recently been completed, and at a preliminary.trial the entire success of the novel principle was established.— What that principle may be is not stated, but as a result the fact is recorded that within 45 minutes of the time that the fires in the boiler were lighted, a pressure ot sietm equal to 100 lbs. upon the square inch was indicated. The calculated power of the new engine, when running at a high velocity, ia not less than 6&0 horsed It ia expected that this locomotive will attain a long-sustain-ed speed of seventy miles per hour.— Bufalo Adeerliaer.

W Aw OLD RH«O.—A ring was exhibited it the New York Historical Society, at their last meeting, neerly 5.000 years old. It was found by en Arab near the great pyramid of Cheop*,andls supposed to ha^e been the royal signet of the second Pharaoh of the fourth dynasty 3,000 years before Christ. Its weight is that of about three English sovereigns, and bears markr of having been much worn

WSBSTKE.—A

letter from Boston

seys The subscription paper fur a monument and other purposes of Webster is still circulating. I understand that the twenty-five thousand dolisrs, due one mortage held by Mr*. Webster on Mftrshfield have been subscribed and received, but that the design of keeping Msrshfietd,after payment of ail thedsbts, has been given up as impracticable.

The London Newe closes Its eom* ments upon the death,of Mr. Webster, and ihe efleet of his decease upon this country, ee follows: •'It ia characteristic of American In* Ktltuiinns that the removal of this robust and Inflexible soul will not even for moment he felt in tlte progress of politl oal events. His piece will be filled more or less ebly~»»end things will £0 on es if he hnd never been removed, This is the consequence of popular institutions —self-goverrfment—»thet statesmen are the agents, net the metiers, of popular opinion end wishes, and that there is al ways a redundani supply of competent public •ertania, Hence steadiness end consistency ih the policy of 'popular governments. Individuals may be ftck la and changeable but masses ere ever drearily monotonous in their aims and efTorts. As ohildren like to hear the same tsle told over again, so the multitude like to see their rulers watchwords of popular party change slowly. This reflection places in a strong Uglu the fetuous folly of those who dream they see in the resuscitation of the empire guarantee to France for the surcease of revolutionary charges. By vesting all power in the hands of an autocrat, the French render their national policy ilable to shift and change with all his freaks and whims. Nay, they render that order and tranquillity for which they yearn dependent upon the continuation of his life, certain to be interrupted with the interruption of its trail and precarious tenure. In the democratic Republic of America the survival or extinction of a master mind like Webster does not for a moment shake public tranquillity— does not perceptibly a fleet the steady course either of domestic or foreign politics. In the French empire, now in progress of inauguration, the death of even a Louis Nnpoleon would restore anarchy. Every thing would bo interrupted till the rivals from his inheritance of power had fought it out. This is the inevitable consequence of the people leaving the management of their affairs to one or a few, instead of keeping it mainly their own hands. Popular government* among ctvtltzed people are more truly conservative than despotisms or oligarchies."

IMPORTANT DISCOVERY.—Here is a discovery, said to be made by a professional gentleman of New York, which he thinks "bids fair to restore health to many who are now in want of it." We copy from the Courier and Enquirer:

Sulizor observed, that when two pieces of metal of different kinds, as copper and zinc, are placed one above and another beneath the tongue, as often as the projecting ends are brought into contact, a remnrkable metalic taste is perceived. This led to what is called voltaic electricity. and also to the galvanic rin^s, the efficacy of which perhaps many of your readers are aware of.-

Pl

The important discovery is this:—If a cylindrical piece of zinc is placed near the top of a broom-handle, and another about fifteen inches below, connection being made between the two by means of a wire, a person taking hold of the top piece with the right hand, white the left is plirced on tne upper or lower piece, forms a voltaic circle which becomes powerful the more the broom is used. The hands must be without gloves so that the metals are in contact, and the windows of the room should be open when the broom is used, so as to admit air freely.- 5

,J

Tho discovery is invaluable to females in a weak state for want of active life, and for males it can be applied to axe handles.

DANGEROUS COUNTERFEITING OFUNITED STATES COINS.—One of the most important arrests that hns been mado in the city of New York for several years, was effected yesterday by officers Hogan and Clark, of the Chief "Shadows," aided by officers Bilger and Davie of the second District, Police Court. It nppears that a gang of French and Gorman men have beeii euflaa*^

and foreign coins, such as gold dollars,' half eagles, and English sovereigns, and so handsomely were they executed, that the best of judges could not detect them, particularly the imitation gold dollars and sovereigns.

The Police authorities have been in possession of information fur some days past, concerning these dangerous counterfeiters, and during the past ten days the above officers ascertained that the headquarters of the rogues was No. 79 Ha inmersly street, where they had located themselves, anil in the rear basement of which the coining was done. Everything being arranged in proper order, the Police officers proceeded to Hammersly street, made a descent upon the house, and succeeded in capturing the principal of the gang, named Louis Levin, and made a seizure of the entiro counterfeiting apparatus, together with several linen bags filled with the base coin. The prisoner was conveyed to tho Jefferson Market Police office, and committed to the city prison by Justice McGrath to await further action in .the matter.

Last evening officers Clark tt»d Hogan, succeeded in arresting two other persons named David Crostillott and Louis Leon, who are said to be engaged iu the manufacture of these base cuins.

Further developments of the daring erimewill undoubtedly be made.—Hew York Times, 30th. j-j-ru

IMMIGRATION.—The number of alien passengers that arrived at New Yorit, during the month of November, was 19,573 end in the corresponding month of lest year, 29,56i. The total immigration at New York, since January last, is about 247,000—-which is a decreese compared with last year.

THE ADVANCE IN IRON.—The late advance ih the pneos of Iron is ruinning tnsny railroad contractors, and it is said that the contractors of the Cincinnati and St. Louis Railroad will lose upwards of $800,000, by the advonw In rails since their contract was made*

THEATRICAL EXHIBITIONS.—In reply to en article in Herner's Magazine on the dangerous tendency of theatrical exhibitions the tfojuw 1en*eript has the following:

4he.

Alast the denger ie not from airical" spirit of the times but from a hard old material spirit—e fslse realism, which would make us hewers of Wood and drawers of weier, merely regarding God's "waving forests" as beautiful according to the number of cords of wood thev yield to an acre, end His ocean as lotr because it offers a yielding medi« um for steamships. The danger is in our too greet devotion to money getting end mere external show, and 6ur neglect of tltoie interior.faculties of admiration and curiosity end love, by which we truly love, by which we truly live. The stage conducted as it may be and es it ought to be, ministers as directly and es obviously to the service of those interior faculties as do the highest productions of the pencil end pen—-of Da Vinci and Milton,

As for the sssertion thst "we have no right to waste upon mere amusement" our precious time, it is blasphemous and absurd, and utterly at variance with the laws of our nsture, as every intelligent physiologist will sdmit. Through our selfishness snd greed of gein, we do not give ourielves "mere amusement" enough we cheat nature of ber "right," end we neglect the development of faculties, which impart to devotion itself its highest zest, and which makes us truly admirers—cultivated admirers—of the beautiful things that God has given, and no mere speculators to their market value.

S

piLouis NAPOLEOH.—The New York Courier and Enquirer thinks the world has been greatly mistaken in the character of Louis Napoleon, and that the world is beginning to find ti out. In the course of its remarks, (he Courier says: "It so noppened, that when in the winter of 1836 he landed in this city from Brazil, where he had been exiled by Louis Phillippe we were the first acquaintance he made in the country and his first evening in the United State* was spem uur ntbtn tn company with General Scott and other guests. This circumstance was the cause ot our soeing much of him while in this country, and we subsequently saw a great deal of him in London. The result of our intercourse was a conviction that he was a man of far greater talent than the world gave him credit for, and that considering the peculiar churacter of the French people, it was impossible to predict his Inture. There was one man in England, however, who foresaw and predicted the future of Louis Napoleon, and that man was the late Sir Robert Peel. He saw more of the exile than any of the statesmen of England, and he not only declared him to be a man of extraordinary talent, but boldly predicted that if he lived, 'he would inevitably be at the head of the French nation."

THE SAFEST PLACE.—The safest place in the railroad train when in motion, hos been a mooted point oft discussed by travelers. In a case on trinl in the New York courts or d»m»gc» n»r injuries resulting from a collision, the railroad company put it in as a defence that tlie plaintiff was in the baggage car smoking contrary to the posted regulations of the company, that they did not profess to carry passengers safely in car, on account of its exposed situation, and that if plaintiff had remained in the passenger car, as he ought to have done, he would hove been uninjured. In answer to this it was shown by the plaintiff's attorney by statistics of railroad accidents in England and France, that the baggage car is as safe as any in the train, and that the most unsafo cars aro tho^e in the middle of the train.—Louisville Journal.

EcoNOMV TJSMS—-The favorite motto with Mr. ***rime is money. Acting on this principle, he never wastes a single word in conversation. For instance, he meets you in the street, and instead cf saying "Good morning' How do you do! it is simply, "Morning Do?" If he wishes to enquire of his wife what she wishes for dinuer, Re merely says "Dinnerr' And upon retiring to bed in lieu of bidding Mrs. P. "Good night." in the ordinary way, he exclaims •'Night." Mr. Paradox calculates that clear saving of thirty days by this economical system.

THE DEAD OF THE YEAR.—The year just passing away has boon remarkable for the ravages of death among the great in all lands. France has lost her old Marshals of the Empire, Marmont, Gourgaud, Excelmans, and Marrast.one of the noblest statesmen of the republic. England mourns her greatest warrior, the very embodiment of English charac* ier—Wellington. Spain has buried her old Coptain, Costannos, the veteran champion of her rights in the Peninsular contest. And America is bereft of her greatest statesmen, Clay, Woodbury, Webster—while the church hns been deprived of its shining lights. Gadsden, Henshaw, Chase, Hedding. Stuaut and Edwards. They are gone to their rewards, but who shall Fill their places?

The apples are thus prevented from coming in contact with each other, and from the anti-putrescent qualities of the charcoal, the

even should it attack a part of

the fruit, will be prevented from commanicating to the remainder. This plan we should think is a good one for preserving fruit, when sent to any foreign country.—Maine Farmer.
