TWENTY-SECOND VOLUME. Once and a while we take note of time and circumstance* by reminding the reader how long he may have perused the pages of the "COITBIEK," and the length of time the present Editor may have contributed to bis pleasures or improvement. We have not however, ushered in every new volume and year with notices of this revolving time.— But it is fitting occasionally that this should be done.

With the preenst number we commence the XWEWTR-SBCONO VOLUME of the WABASH COURIER. With this number also begins the THIIITEEWTH TEAB of the present Edi tor.— Twelve years have past under our care and supervision. Many a subscriber has passed to his long home in that period many also, have changed residence or left the country. Still our list shows a large number who date with our first issue, and who still remain as faithful and true memorial evidences of the continued satisfaction given by the COUBIEB to its numerous readers. It is pleasant indeed, to meet these old familiar faces, as one and another calls, from day to day, to pay for and renew subscriptions. Besides those of twelve years standing, we have them dated through each succeeding year, down to the last number of the lest volume. With this good list on hand, we are always ready and anxious to put new names on our books.— The Wabash Courier is familiar to most of the old families of the surrounding country, and ought indeed to be in the hands of all our reading and business people.

Twelve yean has given us aright to boast of some experience in the line Editorial. It is perhaps an almost thankless position in reference to the idea of pleasing all tastes This however, is hardly to be expected, and perhapa not by any means even desirable

We have passed through several Presiden tial, Gubernatorial, and Congressional elections—doing duty, on all occasions, to the extent of our ability and generally, we have rearon to believe, to the satisfaction of friends, without unnecessarily infringing upon the rights or characters of those who may have been found in opposition to the principles we espoused. In the literary and miscellaneous departments of the Courier, we have endeavored to consult and promote a pure morality. Variety is the spice of life—and variety must be an element in every thing which has mind for its gratification.

Times &nd circumstances have changed. The twelve years through which we have passed as Editor, has wrought more essential and radical changes in the affairs of matter, if not of mind, than any previoua hundred ol the world's history. So it is—what comes next in the evolutions of progress, has only to be developed as time, from month to month, passes on. It is the business of an Editor to keep up with the times to keep his readers well posted in all progress. This has always been our object as Editor of the Courier. How far we have succeeded, our readers best know. Perhaps the continued support of old patrons, through a succession of years, may be construed into evidence that the Wabash Courier, is not only a very readable paper, but also a first rate vehicle for advertising,* For the future, we can only give the past as a guarantee, with a promise to do our best. Grateful for past favors, we hope a continued and increased patronage through the influence of those who may find a pleasure in giving a ITord for the WABASH COUBIEB.

THE MISSES WATSON.—The Select School for young Ladies under the supervision of the Misses Watson will commence on the first Monday of September next. It is hoped that Teachers whose ability and accomplishments have been so well tested, may continue to receive a good share of patronage,

Mrs. Fowler ia expected ro participate aa a teacher also, aad would be pleaaed to receive a Select olass of lads, not exceeding Jiftem in number, between the age* of four and ten—a commodious building, we further learn, has been secured for the use of this school near the residence of Mrs. Watson.

As the congregation of the Metho­

Almost a Catastrophe.

The Passenger Train of Cars from our town east, narrowly escaped a fearful accident on Wednesday morning last. When about twenty miles out, the Engineer observed the track obstructed with some dark object a short distance ahead. The breaks [sic] were immediately whistled down, but in consequence of wet, and slippery railing, the train could not be checked up until the Engine, Tender, and baggage Car had all mounted a confused pile of wood, thrown and scattered upon the track. This horrible deed had been perpetrated by some villains during the night, and might have been the cause of the loss of many lives. As it was, however, no serious loss occurred, except two hours detention, and some damage to the Express

Car, which was run off, and obliged, from injury to be left behind. President Crawford has promptly issued hand bills, and offered a handsome reward for the detection, or information, which may lead to the conviction of the miscreants concerned in this infamous transaction. ~~~~~~~

O'Donohue, the newly-cscaped Irish patriot, is uoder bonds in Boston, in the sum of $2,000, to keep the peace, and answer in court to a charge of accepting a challange to fight a duel.

It appears that there exists a feeling of rivalry and jealousy between the admirers of Meagher and the admirers of O'Donohue, each faction desiring to make their hero the especial lion of the day. In consequence of this rivsIry,Mr. Treanor, chairman of a Meagher supper, treated O'Donchne in a manner that called forth from the latter gentleman a public denunciation. Treanor, highly offended, demanded a retraction of the language used, which O'Donohue, thro' a friend, refused to make. A challange was passed and excepted, and the affair of honor would have been settled near Manchester, N. about the 8th instant, had not the law interfered as stated in the first paragraph.

YELLOW FEVEB.—The ravages of this terrible disease have been most shocking st New Orleans this season. At times it waa found impossible to have bodiea interred as fsst as they accumulated at the different cemeteries. The True Delta of the 9tb, nays::

On Sunday and yesterday there was much excitement throughoat the city in relation to the shameless exposure of large numbers of uninterred bodies in many of tho cemeteries, particularly in the Lafayette cemeterv, in the fourth District, where some sixty-odd coffins were, it is eaid, on Sunday afternoon, scattered indiscriminately in and around the grave yard, and undergoing a rapid decomposition. The laborers employed to dig the graves struck for higher wages, ana subsequently refused to work for any price. The negroes of the chain-gang were next pressed ints service, and they, when night approachcd, ceased their labor*. At this stage of the affair, Mr. Kursheedt, one of the most indefatigable members of the Board of Health, assisted oy a few othera, succeeded, by holding out the inducement of liberal pay, and furnishing the negroes with such eatables and drinkables as they thought proper to call for, in getting them to resume work. 1 he excitement caused by the state of affairs at the Lafayette cemetery waa much increased by the report thstin Potter's Field the old system of digging graves was abandoned aa obsolete and a number of horses and plows were set to work to furrow the field that tne coffins were placed in the furrows (edgeways, we suppose,) and partialIj vered with the plow, as a tarmer would a a ridge ol sweet potatoes! There was, no doubt, much exaggeration in theae reports.

LOAD OF MELLORS.—We understand that Messrs. C. G. Thomas and Benjamin Truebluod loaded a car at our depot last week with 1,400 water-mellons some of them very large, and intended for Louisville by way of Madiaon, direct. Theae mellons were all brought from Prairie Creek Township—giving us the idea of one mellon township at least, in Vigo.

STEALING.—Mr. John Milnor had a set of harness taken from his stable, on the Bloomingion road, on Thursday night Mr. Milner wishes to give notice that if this property is not returned, the person taking the same need not expect, any further favors from him. ~~~~~~~

VIGO MILITIA.—The 4th Regiment of the 7th Military District of this State haa been organised aa follows:

Colonel—GRAFTOK F. COOKEBLY, of Harrison Township Lt. do—Wat. H. StnLBV, of Riley Township Major—JACOB JUMPEB, of Sugar Creek Township.

TO SUBSCRIBERS.—The Post Office Department has recently decided that under the law of 1852, a subscriber residing in the county in which a paper may be printed and published, is entitled to recive [sic] it through the mails free of postage from the post office within the delivery of which he may reside, even though the post office may be situated <without> the limits of the county aforesaid. ~~~~~~~

STATE FAIB.—Matters are in progress for a fine Exhibition of the State Fair at Lafayette in October next. The Lafayette Journal saya,

Persons residing at a distance from the city are already writing and anxiously inquiring as to the accomodations during the State tair. We pmwne. in fact we know, that every effort possible will be made to accommodate airaagers visiting the city. Extra trains will be ran on all the roads late and early so that persona after staying here a!5 day may. if they cheose, go to Crawfordavillc, Urweacastle, Michigan City, Indianapolls or the intermedial towns.

COMET.—It is said that a comet has been seen in the Northwest part of the heavens for a few nights past. ~~~~~~~

Churches and Chnrck Property. According to the census o: 185G, tl.e tojal number of churches in the United States ounted to 36,011—having an aggregate capacity to accommodate at least 13,840,806 persons. The total value of all the Church property in the Union at that time, was estimated at §88,416,639 and the value oJ such property in three Stales amounted to one-half of this sum, viz: in New York, $21,132,707 in Pennsylvania, $11,551,885 and in Massachusetts, $10,205,284.

The wealthier churches, and the more costly church edifices, are found in the older States yet, in the number of its churches, Indiana stands in -advance of all the States of the Union, excepting New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia

In 1850, according to an abstract of the census of that year, lately published in the Merchant's and Banker's Almanac, there were 1,947 churches in Indiana, sufficient, collectively, to accommodate about 690,000 persons, and the value of chorch property was estimated at $1,512,485.

RELIGIOUS NOTICS.—The members and congregation of the Congregational Church, and Sabbath School belonging to the same, will meet at the Christian Church on 4th Street, Sabbath next, the 28th, and continue to meet at that place until further notice.

THE SUICIDE OF Two YOUNG LADIES.— Relative to the suicide of the two young ladies, ot Manchester, N. H., alluded to by telegraph a day or two since, we learn in addition from the Boston papers that one of them was Miss Catharine B. Cotton, of Pownnl, Me., aged 22 the other, Miss Clara Cochran, aged 19, a native of New Boston, residing in Hop* kinton. They roomed together at No. 24 Manchester Corporation. Miss Cochran bad frequently indicated a purpose to drown herself. Both had talked freely of doing so. The whole proceedings were marked by great coolness and deliberation. Both of them left letters to their friends, announcing their purpose, and giving directions in regard to the settlement of their affairs. Love was the occasion of the act. Having arranged all things for the event, they left their boarding house on Sunday evening proceeded hand in hand, and with great apparent cheerfulness, to the bridge crossing the upper canal, leading to the Manchester Mills, stepped together upon the stone wall of the conal just above the bridge, and together leaped into the water.

Miss Cochran left in her trunk a letter to her sister in Hopkinton. and on the opposite side of it was written the following, evidently intended for the eye of her lover:

And now Dearest I must write you a few lies, though ere you receive them, tho hand that penned them will be cold in death. Do not think of me with regret, for 'tis better that it should be so.

One more unfortunate weary of breath, Hashly importunate gone to her death. 1 forgive all who have injured tne, and crave for forgivenness of you if I have erred, and I know 1 have. Be happy and forget me not. Even if you ever marry, still 'twill not be wicked to cast a thought on me, and no one would love you the less for it. I shall, I hope, be buried in Vermont, by the side of my mother. Farewell.

She also inclosed in her letter scraps of poevfy, which no doubt expressed her feelings at the time of writing.

THE KOSTA AFFAIR.—The Courier des Elats Unis copies an extract from the correspondence of a Parisian journal—the Assemblie Nalionale—io the effect that after Commander lngraham, in pursuance of instructions from the American legation at Constantinople, had peremptorily demanded the liberation of Kosta from the Austrian brig, and bad prepared himself to enforce the demand, the consul of Prussia at Smyrna interfered in the affair, and proceeded to the Governor of SmymafAli Pacha, and urged him to order a Turkish ves-sel-of-war, then in port, to take position between the American and Austt ian vessels, and also insisted that the Pacha, ahould order the cannon of the fort at Smyrna to be ahotted and fired upon the ship which should commence the attack —that is, of course, upon the St. Louis, it is stated that the Prussian consul thus interfered upon the allegation that the rights of Turkey and tho law of nations would be alike violated by a combat between the two ships in a neutral port. The Prussian consul, who was right fully no party in the business, does not seem to have regarded the kidnapping of Kosta by the Austriana upon neutral territory as a violation of law which required any notice at his hand*. Hi* interference wsi too late and proved abortive, as he could obtain from the Pacha only a promise to protest against the position of the American consul at Smyrna. JX ,.

THE DAHCE OF DEATH—A

LONDON, Aug. 13.—Dispatches from St. Petersburg to the 5th state that ihe Emperor had definitely accepted the proposals of the four powers.

A dispatch from Treiste says ibat the Porte accepts, without modification, the proposals drawn up at Vienna.-, An extraordinary ambassador was to leave Constantinople for St. Petersburg, with the Sultan's decision, as soon as the Russian troops were ordered to evacuate the Principalities.

Custom of

Chili. Aqua-ardiente and duices were handed round, while all men and women— the dancers excepted—smoked their cigarillos. But the most remarkable thing in the room seemed to me a large kind of scaffold, which occupied the other corner opposite the bed—corner opposite the bed, consisting of alight frame-work, ornamented all over with artificial flowers, little pictures of saints, and a quantity of small lighted wax candles. On top^of it a most extraordinary well made, wax figure of a little child was seated on a low wooden chair, dressed in a snow white little frock the eyes were closed, the pale cheeks tinged by a soft rosy hue, and the whole figure perfectly strewn with flowers. It was so deceptive, that when I drew near at first I thought it to be a real child, while a young woman below it, pale, and with tears in her eyes, might very well have been the mother. But that waB a mistake for at this moment one of the men stepped up to her and invited her to the dance, and a few minuets afterwards she was one of the merriest in the crowd. But it must really be a child—no sculptor could have formed that little face so exquisitely and now one light went out, close to the little head, and the cheek lost its rosy hue.

My neighbors at last remarked the attention with which I looked upon the figure or child, whichever it was and the nearest one informed me, as fur as I could understand, him, that the little thing up there was really the child of the woman with the pale face, who was dancing just then so merrily the whole festivity taking place, in fact, only on account of that little angel. I shook my head doubtfully, and my neighbor, to convince tne, took my arm and led me to the frame, which I had to step upon the chair and nearest table, and touch the hand and cheek of the child. It was a corpse. And the mother, seeing that I had doubted it, but was now convinced, came up to me, and smillingly told me it had been her child, and was now a little angel in heaven.

The guitars and cacaes commenced wildly again, and she had to return to the dance I left the house as in a dream, but afterwards heard the.explanation of the ceremony. If a little child—I believe up to four years of age—dies in Chili, it is thought to go straight to heaven, and become a little angel the mother being prouder of that—before the eyes of the world at least—than if she had reared her child to happy man or womanhood. The little corpse is exhibited then, as I had seen it and they often continue dancing and singing around it till it displays signs of putrefaction. But the mother, whatever the fellings of hter heart may be, must laugh, and sing, and dance: she dare not give way to any selfish wishes, for is not the happiness of her child secured! Poor mother!—GersUxcditr's Journal Round the World.

^REMARKABLE —A very singular circumstance was related to us last evening, by Mr. Charles W. White, of this city. A Miss Ilurlbutt, residing in the town of Butternuts, Otsego county Blew York, while gathering up a carpet, felt something like a prick of a needle in the bend of her arm, near the elbow. Supposing she had accidentally run aomething in it, she was induced to call upon Dr. Chas. Sumner, a resident physician of that town, who examined her arm and extracted one or two needles. Since that time, at different intervals, he had taken from her arm, breast, and aide, one hundred and twenty-five needles, in size graduating from a fine sewing needle to a darning needle. From one to twentyfour were extracted at a time, the physician being obliged to cut the flesh for nearly every needle extracted. One was found bent around the bone of the arm on the opper side, and one on the lower, which it was found imoossible to remove at the time, through fear of injury to the patient. How they came there, is a mystery to all. Our informant is well acquainted with the patties, and promises in a few days to give us more facts touchting this truly wonderful phenomenon.— Trenton True American.

One of the negroes died of the wound, and the remaining two were lodged in jail at Raleigh, his said one of the slaves was the property of Mr. Clavton, the other two belonging to Mr. Rozweti.—Memphit Enquirer.

AN EXTRAORDINARY MAN. David Wilson, an old Revolutionary soldier, and a native of New Jersey, died, after a very short illness, in Dearborn county, Indiana, in August, 1833, aged one hundred and seven years two months and ted days. He had at different periods of his life, five wives, and, at the time of his death was the father of forty-seven children! Whilst residing In Pennsylvania, near the old Redstone Fort, his wife gave birth to five children in eleven months! This extraordinary mon, when in his one hundred and fourth year, mowed one week for Esq. Pendelton, of Hamilton county, Ohio, about two miles from Cincinnati, during which he mowed one acre per day of heavy timothy grass. He was about five feet six inches in height. His frame was not supported by ribs, as the frames of ordinary men are, but an aparemly solid sheet of bone supplied their place. He could hold up his hands in a verticle position and receive a blow from the fist of a powerful man on the lateral portion of his body without inconvenienoe. He served throughout the entire revolution, under Washington was engaged in most of the Indian wars since, and was the companion of Marion and Rogers, and of many other distinguished and early pioneers of our western and southern wilds. Our readers may rest assured that this statement is correct, aa we received it from Mr. Alexander Wilson, of North Madison, who is the forty-fifth child of the subject of this paragraph*— Madison Banner. ——'iiiiii

EMPLOYMENT

or

CAPITAL.—The fol­

lowing sound views on the employment of capital, are taken from Adam Smith's work on the Wealth of Nations •A particular country may frequently not have capital sufficient both to improve and cultivate all its lands, to manufacture and prepare their whole rude produce for immediate use and consumption, and to transport the surplus part either of the rude or manufactured products to those distant markets, where it can be exchanged for something for which there is a demand at home. *When the capital of any country is not sufficient for all thoae purposes, in proportion as a greater share of it ia employed in Agriculture, the greater will be the quantity of productive tabor which it pat into motion within the onintry, as will likewise be the value which its employment adds to the annual produce of the land and labor of the aociety. g| •After Agriculture, the caphol employ* ad in Manufactueres puts into motion the greatest quantity of productive labor, and adds the pea test value to the annual produce. That which ia employed in the trade of exportation has the least effect of any of the three.*
