GRAVELLING.—The process of gravelling the Lafayette road from town through the prairie to Otter Creek, is getting on well. Upwards of two miles from the north line of town is finished, and appears to make a most excellent track. The average depth of the gravel is about eight inches with a width sufficient for wagons to pass. This will certainly be a vast improvement on that road, which used to be a large portion of the year in a bad condition.

This improvement of the road, however, commences, or rather, terminates, at the north side of town, on the line of sixteen; still leaving more than half a mile of the old bad road into town unimproved. What shall be done with that? Some suggest private subscription—others an appropriation by the Council. Something, certainly, should be done by way of extending this good pavement into the centre of town from the north. We throw out these hints for general consideration in the hope that some mode may be adopted, by which the noble enterprise shall be made available to the extent, by all parties contemplated at the first commencement of the work. ~~~~~~~

The purchasers are parties from NewOrleans and the price lias not transpired.-— $200,000 had been refused heretofore.

Washington correspondent of the Bolti-. more Sun says measures have been taken to notify the Mexican Government thnt their military occupation of the Mesilla Vulley must be abandoned, and that they will not bo permitted to. exercise any jurisdiction in that territory* If Mexico shall comply with, this reasonable demand, there will be, fto danger of a war.

From tie StaU Satmd. INDIANA.

The act of Congress organizing the territorjr of Indiana^wsa approved May 7,1800 General William Henry Herriron, then delegate «n Congress from tie North-western Territory/was appointed Governor, John Gibson. Secretary of State* and William Clark, John Griffin.and Henry Vanderburgh, Judges. -The government was organised at St. Vincennes, on th 4ik of July, 1800, bf Gen. John Gibwn, Secretary of State, and a oj^do Governor. Gea. Gibson officiated as Governor until the 10th of January, 1801. When Gen. Harrison arrived, and took'the oath of office, John Rice Jones, father of Hon. George W. Jones, enator from Iowa, was the first District Atlorney^^ L,,

On the S2th of January, two days after the arrival of the Governor, a Council, composed of the Governor and Judges, convened and adopted a code of Jaws fur the Government of the Territory. There was then but one county, Knox, nnmed in honor of General Henry Knox, of the Revolution, and Secretary of War under the administration of Genera) Washington. The terri tor ry was afterwards dirid*d into six counties, viz., Knox, Clark, and Dearborn, in the district now the State of Indiana St. Clair and Randolph included -vhat was afterward organized into the Territory of Illinois and Wayne, including the whole of what is now the State of MicKlgan. In 1815, the second, or representative grade of territorial government was formed. The Gov. issued his proclamation for the election of nine Representatives. Owing to a failure of the mail, the proclamation never reached the Clerk of Wayne county, at Detroit, and no election was held. Before another election could be ordered, Wayne county was made a separate territory. The first Territorial Legislature was composed of seven Representatives, the Judges acting as a council, and the Governor exercising the absolute and Unqualified veto power.

In 1807,the territory of Illinois was organixed. -Thia reduced the territory of Indiana to three counties, Knox, Clark, and Dearborn. At the ensuing session of the Territorial Legislature, the county of Harri* son was organized Vincennes still remaining the seat of government, and General Harrison Governor~,zt« "*1

Benjamin Park was the firs't*delegate In Congress. He was succeeded by Jesse B. Thomas, who resided at Lawrenceburgh, and who secured his election by obtaining the votes of the eastern and western por* tionsof the territory, under a pledge to use his exertions, to procure a division of the Territory and to secure the votes at Kaakaskia and Cahokia, in the West.it is said that he executed to John Rice Jones a bond, binding himself in a heavy penalty to vote for the division. This pledge he redeemed, so that the validity of the bond never was tested in a judicial tribunal. After the formation of the Illinois Territory, Jonathan Jennings was elected a delegate from the Indiana Territory. His competitor was Thomas Randolph, E.*»q., who afterwards fell at Tippecanoe. The contest involved, among other things, the sfavery question.—

Virginian, and it was said favored the peculiar institution, as did most of the citizens in Knox cuunty, and many in ('lark, Dearborn, and especially that portion now forming the county of Wayne, were opposed to slavery, and b/ that vote Mr* Jennings was elected. He was periodically re-elected, ami served as a delegate until the formation of the State Government in

General Harrison resigned hi#letfiftfftissiunas Governor in 1812, having been appointed to command the North-western army, attbecommencement of the British and (udian w*r of that period. He was succeeded by Gen. Thomas Posey, an officer of the Revolution, who continued to exercise the functions of Governor, during the Territorial Government Gen. John Gibson still continuing Secretary of State.

Although the Territorial Secretary, from some cause, (perhaps physical.) he could not write, and the only mark of bis pen, in the original records, is to fee found in his crooked and scarcely legible signature, at the end of the Territorial Record, in 1316* when the papers, books, and documents passed into the hands of the State Governroent.

Thereupon a conjugal Caudle scene occurred, at the^end of which her Majesty declared that if she met Mrs. How ard, she would punish her for her presumption, and give Her a lessoriu which she would, remember. His Majesty merely shrugged his shoulders at this, threat, doubtless thinking it nothing more than an ebullition of words. wVieh would be forgotten with the ex citement which caused It. He was too confident *nJ the Empress was as good as her promise The very next dtiv. while riding in the Bois de Boulogne pn her spirited Andalusia*!, and ncciHiipanietl only by her ladies and gniohis, she stopped in a by-road by a carriage. At first the Empress wnsabout toturn.aside, otid let the carriage pass: but glancing at its occupant, she recognized Mrs. Howard, and, determined riot to give lie? the road, she reined up her horse and waited for the carriage to get out of the way. But Mrs. Howard had reeogni 2ed her rival also, and calling ut» her pride and spirit she ordered her coachman not to give the-road.

A few words were exchanged between the Empress' uiiendunis, but hejefusad to go contrary to his orders.v^fier moments suspense, during which the two ladies "tasaieiit. ties grand yeux," made big eyes at each other, i!»e Efn" press gailopp»»d to the side ol the carriiige. and. in A most impolite manner, struck Mrs. Howard with her riding whip.'"^The other-raised her Rarasol. and. before the attendants could interfere, a regtilnr buttle began between the whip and the paraso' and the tongues of their owners, until the Vvliip being the sironger of the two, broke the parnsol, and Mrs. Howard sank back, fainting on the carriage cushings, her toilette and curls in a deplorable sta«e. while the Empress, who had received no'visible damage, gave a triumphant liitlu laiigh. stuck her spur-into her horse's sido "and

member-of which was stupified by-the scene which they had been forced to witness. ^But a crowt^ had already "bollected. and a few gens d'armes coming up, Mrs. Howard was carried inr» house close by. where her'wounds—for the lash had left more than one mark upon her face and hands—were dressed, and the disorder of her toilette repaired nntl. when the idlers had all departed, she repaired to Paris, where she is still quite ill. As to the Empress, she finished her ridei and returned to ihe Tuilleries as if nothing had happened but that very night M. Dubois, who had received the nppointineut ofaccnudheur to Her Majesty only a few days before, was sent for, and 48 hours afterwards tho Empress became so unWell that there was no Ion ger any doubt that Louis Napoleon's hopes of an heir were iing to be destroyed. The matter was. as much as possible, kept secre-, and Her Majesty was reported as merely suffering under a slight indisposition. But the whole city as already talking of the scene in the Bois de Boulogne, and the result of the indisposition was anticipated several days before it actually took place. On Friday last, the Empress's fife was in danger fof several hours but thank to the skillful treatment, and the mass the Emperor ordered tube said in the Imperial Chapel, she became better before night, and i« now rapidly convalescing. •The Emperor has been to see Mrs, Howard, it is said, to express his sympathy, and sends an aid de camp twice a day to inquire after her he.ilth. Whcth-

with his former favorite it is hard to say for he is reported as being very attentive^ at the bedside of the empress also. His anger at the scandal caused by his wife's Conduct must be considerably mollified by the reflecti«m that love for him was the motive, aud gratified vatii: ty will probably prevent him from chiding either lady fur imprudence.

Be that as it may. the Empress heard of her arrival, and was highly indignant that she should have been'allowed to enier France.

OP JACKSOJflM*

There are those living who fol General Jackson.through sl|H« cruaades against the dwriboiimt of public lands to whom the fbllowing extracts from the Washington correspondence of the Baltimore Sun may be partictflaHy interesting, and wes:therefore commend them to their serifKis consideration as worthy of their deliberate reflection:

The great Central Illinois RaiVroad Company appear to beiti full tide of practical success.. Tl^^rant uf ptiblic tant transferred to them will build the road fiir ihe whole distance of 710mile«.*«nd the stockholders will own the road without |»»ying a cent for their slock. Ji is a donaiioit to ihem fromi the Qovernmenf of seventeen millions of dollars— theestirnated cost of the road—*tor their personal benefit* The land is already estimated to be wOrfh that sum. and the Ijnans for carrying on the work are based upon «he value of those lands at that rate. Loans to the amount of some seven or eight millions have already "been effected, aiid a new loan of thre^ miHionsitas now

been

called ftir, a?id *ill be

readily filled. ••The stockholders of the Southwes^ -tern branch of the Missouri and Pacific Railroad Company will never be'obliged to pay one dollar far that road of 310 miles in length. The lands granted to the Stute by the Government during the late session were transferred by, the State to the company, and they^Wii! sell for enough to build the vwtfr- A' 'ohu will be soon ,proposed for the purpose of completing ihii* road, and it will be based in a great measure on the value of the bonds. All the western railroads will undoubtedly give dividends of ten per cent, on their cost, and besides, are made at the ex per se of the public treasury,"

It was objected

the land distribu

tion system by Gen. Jackson and his partisans that irjwould corrupt the States, and therefore they arrested it. Now the lands are made by a Democratic Congress, which boasts its devotion to Jacksonism, the fruitful source of profit to the railroad stockholders jtnd land speculators, while the old States, to whom the territory originally belonged, are entirely cutnfffrom all participation in the proceeds of their »al«$s.

The truth of history is therefore but developing and fulfiMing the prophecies of'the illustrious Clay and his distin-guished--compatriots, who advocated thdisiribut'ion among all tile States while yei the old States had the power to control the matter. Their councils were .disregarded, the system was repudiated. and we are now gathering the IruiiS of Jacksoiiisin.—Augusta Chronicle.

These developements cannot fail to remind the people of the Uniop of the efTwris unce made to have the proceeds of the public lands distributed among the States for the purp se of public inieducation. Dema-

I* it good policy to create, by law, a few millionaires, and leave the masses to tike enre of themselves? Is this the idea of Democrac\? Is this the feast to which the people are invited?
