OCTOBER ELECTION

We are authorized to announce IJIBAM SMITH as a candidate for re-election County Commissioner, from Second District, at the coming October election.

THE KOSZTA AFPAIR. Our readers are aware that a difficulty has existed for some time in consequence of the conduct of Capt. Injraham of the St Louis, when recently at Smyrna. Koszta was violently seized in the Streets of Smyr na, through the agency of Austrian function ariea, and carried on board the Austrian brig-of-war Hussar lying In the Harbour of Smyrna. Capt. Ingraham compelled the release of Kosta from the Brig of War

This conduct on tho part of the American Commander, drew forth a strong protest from the Austrian Government through Mr Hufecmann, tho Austrian charge d'afluirs at Washington. To this note of Mr. IIulsemann, Mr. Marcy, Secretary of Stale makes along and abl« reply. He goes over the whole ground, completely vindicating tho American officers at Smyrna. He takes ground that Koszta was domiciled in the Un ted Stites and therefore obtained national ty independent of the facbof filing his declaration of intentions to become a citizen.— The document is very able and interesting it is a calm survey of the whole matter without any flourish of rhetoric, but full and satisfactory in reasoning. Speaking of Koszta tho Secretary says:

The fact shows that bo wns only temporarily ahpont (rom this country on privnte business with no intention of remaining permanently in Tur key, but, on tho contrary, was, at tho timo of hit seizure, awaiting an opportunity to return to (ho United Statos. Whenever bp the operation of the low of nations nn individual becomes clothed with our national character, ho he a native bom or a naturali%od citizen, an oxile, driven from hi* early homo by political oppressions, or an emigrant enticed from it by tho hopes of abetter for tune for himself nnd hi* posterity, he can claim tho p.oteciionof this Government, and it may respond to that claim without being obliged to explain its conduct to any foreign power, for it is It's duty, to make its nationality respected by other nations, and respectably in every auarter of tho ({lobe. ThisMuht to protect persons having tdomicil, though not natlvo born or naturalized citizens, rests on tho firm foundation of justice, and the claim to be protected earned by considerations which the protecting power is not at liberty to disregard. Much domiciled citizen pays the tamo prico for his protection as native born or naturalized citizens pay for theirs.

The letter of Mr. Marcy concludes thus: Being convinced that the seizure and imprisonment orKoszta were illegal and unjustifiable, the President also dcclinqp to give his consent to Ins delivery to tho Consul Gonoral of Austria at Smyrna, but altera full examination of tho cuse as herein presented, ho has instructed tho tindersigned to communicate to Mr. llulHOtnann his confident expectation that the LCnipcrorol Austria will take proper measures to cause Martin Koszta to bo restored to the same condition he was in before he was seized in the streets of Smyrna, on tho 21st of Juno last.

ORDINANCE.

A very important ordinance will be found in our columns this week. It is designed to prevent and punish nuisances and offences against the police of the City of Terre Haute. It consists of 16 sections and should be carefully studied by all citizens—by every house keeper and store keeper who may wish to avoid the penalties. Country people, and all persons having charge of horses, wagons or vehicles of any kind should read this ordinance. Loafers, rowdies and noisy boys must be careful to read the 13th sec tion. The ordinance is in most of its provisions, excelent [sic]—tho perhaps a little too severe on one or two points. To be compelled to remove wood out of the street in twenty four hours is rather prompt. Every house keeper knows the difficulty in having wood cut split and packed away in so short a time.

The provision of the first section driving poor little organ grinders out of the street is rather harsh—they cannot do much harm, and sometimes it is pleasant to hear them. In large cities we know they are permitted to play in front of dwellings, and under windows, for the amusement of children, largo and small, who may chose to throw away a few coppers. Our City will get along very well when disturbed with nothing worse than organ grinders. ~~~~~~~

ELECTION.

Tho October Election comes off on Tucsdar next. In Vigo tho Poll# will be opened for the election of a State Reporter, to the Supreme Court—and a county Commission* er for the 3d District, Mr. Hiram Smith is a candidate for re-election as Commissioner. For State Reporter there are two candidates, J. VVV Gordon and A. G.Porter.

[From the South Bend Register] The Supreme Court Reporter. The State Sentinel is becoming unusually exercised in relation to this officer, who is to be elected by the people of the State next Tuesday week. The masses, in this era of political quietude, evince no disposition to become excited nn the subject but the Sentinel, in i» evident alarm lest Mr. Gordon, the Independent candidate, should be elected, is sounding the'party war-whoop, and fir ing its broadsides (of blank cartridges) at that gentlemsn for daring to be in the way of Mr. Potter, its favorite candidate Let us consider separately the objections it brings forward in such formidable orray. 1. Mr. Gordon voted for Gen. Scott This is too true although he has been by no mean?, a violent panizan. This offence might, it is true, disqualify him in theso days for being Superintendent of a Blind Asylum but how it should make him less competent for a Reporter of Decisions we cannot see. Has not the Sentinel assured us that this dangerous Whig party is used up, annihila ted, shorn of its power and all that sort of thing, in this State? What danger therefore, either to the Union or the Democracy, could result from Mr. Gordon's election? 2. Mr. Gordon reported the proceed ingsin the Fugitive Slave case of Ellington vs Freeman for tho State Journal and the True Democrat. Weil! as ths correctness of those Reports have not been invalidated or denied, they prove him to be a competent "Reporter"—just what his frirnds'claim for him. 3. Mr. Gordon, says the Sentinel, is a strong Temperance man, has been Editor of the Temperance Chart, &c.— Well! then if he proves steadfast to his pledge, the State will have thoroughly sober officer, which certainly cannot be nn evil. But the shoe does not pinch here with the Sentinel. It fears that a great many Temperance Democrats may vote for Mr. Gordon and we certainly hope that its fears in this respecf are not groundless. 4. The Free Soilers in the Counties ofTippecanoe, Marion, Henry, &c. have resolved to vote for Mr. Gordon, the Sentinel says. Well! that only proves that they like independent candidates nd is to their credit as well as Mr. Gordon's, Will the Sentinel inform us hether it objected to the New York Barnburners voting for Gen. Pierce last fall? 5. Mr. Gordon was a Doctor before ho became a lawyer, the Sentinel says: and therefore it asks the people whether they would rather have a Doctor than a Lawyer for a Reporter. Considering that the Reporter does not make the Decisions, but merely copies, arranges and publishes thorn, -this objection limps sadly. Judge Perkins, of tho Supreme Bench was an Editor before ho was a Judge. Did the Sentinel or did Mr. Brown ever object to him on that account? Judge Smith of New Albany, who went on the Supremo Bench, at the samo time with Perkins, was actually a practising physician at tho very time ho wns appointed. Did tho Sentinel or did Mr. Brown, over denounce him as unqualified for tho highest judicial position in the State bccause of that fact?— And if theso were qualified both to hear and doeide tho knottiest questions of the law, the gravest appeals from the Circuit Courts below, why would not Mr. Gordon, if nn intelligent man, as all concode that he is, bo considered qualified to print their decisions, after they handed them to him, even if he was at this very time, a practising physician, a preacher, or a shoemaker.

Again, at tho session of the Legislature before tho last. Dr. Eddy, our present Democratic Congressman, was sulected as ono of the two Democratic Senators whose duty it was, in connec tion with tho House Committee, to revlso all of our Statute Laws during the recess. He had been a practising physician for many yoars and had but recently come to the bar as a lawyer.— Not a solitary Whig that we knew of, ever objected to his appointment. But why slept the thunders of the Sentinel then! it isso awful for an Ex Doctor to think of Reporting the Supreme Court Decisions, what a terrible thing it must have been for another Ex-Doctor to revise our Laws, and for still another! one to decide on them in our Court of last resort!

The truth about the matter is however, that Mr. Gordon has both experiece and standing at the Bar—has already reported Supreme Court decisions for the Indianapolis papers, giving entire satis* faction—and has, as the Journal informs us, more cases in the Supreme Court at this very time, to attend to, than his competitor, Mr. Porter. We submit to ibe Sentinel that thia ction has not back-bone enough in it to stand a* :.e. 0. But the tast objection is

a clincuer.

The Sentinel says that Mr. Gordon, in his Temperature Chart, spoke some time, since in high terms of his competitor's qualifications, which, it seems to think

on the! favor. Is is true the courtesy is illy re*

discharge of the doty. In eetewm*«Hprocated by Mr. Porter's organ now will be classified all male# over 31 yt age—and those under that age—the same of females—also a column for Negroes and coulatoee.

bat we think this argument is all in Mr Gordon's favor. It shows that, in thus complimenting a Democratic officer, lie was determined to Impartial and just *hat he was not a Ugoted partisan who can see nothing good on the other side? and proves that he vrili look above party in the pexformance of every duty devolve^ Hira.

THE WHIG PARTY.—The Richmond Morning Mail pays the following benu

tiful tribute to the whig party: 'The whig party, embodying as does its full 6hare of the intelligence the wealth and patriotism of the country makes no pretensions either to aristo cracy or the opposite, but, resolutely re fusing to pander to the pnssions and pride of men contents itself with a steady and faithful vindication of the great and es sentio! principles of Republican govern mem.—principles which are as neces sary to the independence and prosperity of tho citizens ns to the freedom and greatness of the State!. A party com posed of such material, acting upon such maxims, and influenced only by the purest and most disinterested patriotism cannot die till tho fnbrlc of republicanism totters toils final downfall '"I«s winding sheet will bo the Constitution, its grave will bo the grave of liberty, and the wandering stars of our political constel lation will look down in sorrow upon its sepulchre.'

LAST MOMENTS OF JOHN KNUX.—On Mondny, the twenty-fourth of November 1572, he got up in tho morning, and paitiully dressed himself, but, feeling weak, ho lay down again. They asked him if ho was in pain? 'It is no poiuful pain,' ho answered,'but such a one as. I trust, shall put un end to the battle.' (lis wife sut by him with the Bible open on her knees. Ho desired her to read the fifteenth chapter of the first of Corinthians. He thought ho was dying as she finished it. 'Is nnt that beautiful chapter?' he said and then added, 'Now for the last timo, 1 commend my spirit, soul and body, into thy hands, O Lord.' But tho crisis passed ofTfor the moment. Towards evening he lay still for several hours, and nt ten o'clock 'they went to their ordinary prayer wlulk was the longer, because they thought ho wns sleeeping.' When it was over, the physician asked him if ho had heard anything. 'Ay,' he said.'I wad to God that ye and all men hoard as I have heard, and I praise God for that heavenly sound.' 'Suddenly thereafter he gave a lotrg sigh and sob, and cried out, 'N«nv it is come!' Then, Richard Bannatyne sitting down before him, said, 'Now sir, tho time that ye have long called for, to wit, an end of your battle, is come and seeing all naturul power now fails, remember the comfortable promise which ofttime ye have shown to us, of our Saviour Christ and that wo mny understand and know that ye hear us, make us some sign', and so he lifted up hi* hand and incontinent thereafter, render* ed up the spirit, and sleepit away with* out any pain.' In such sacred stillness, the strong spirit which had so long battled with the storm, passed away to God.-— Westminster Review.

SLEEP-WALKMO.—A case is related of aa English clergymau who used to get up in the night, light his caudle,write sermons,correct tbt with interlineations and retire to bed again, being all the while asleep. The Archbishop of Bordeaux mentions a similar case of a student who got np to compose a sermon while asteeep, wrote it correctly read it over from one end to the other, or at least appearedtto read it, made corrections on it, scratched out tines and substituted «!pet in its place a word which bad omitted, music, wrote it accurately «!.-wtt -rf irmed other things e^trJiy surprising.

FOOD OF THE CHINESE.—They have lomesticated the horse, the ox, the buffalo, the dog, the cat, the pig, and all the other animals which have been domesticated in Europe, together with some creatures'which we have failed. They eat, indiscriminately, almost every living creature which comes in their way dogs, cats, hawks, owls, eagles and storks, are regularly marketable commo dities in default of which a dish of rats field mice or snakes, is not objected to Cockroaches, and other insects and rep tiles, are used for food and for medicine Their taste for dog's flesh is quite a pas sion. Young pups—plump, succulen and tender—fetch good prices at the market stalls, where a supply is always to be found. A dish of puppies prepar ed by a skillful cook, is esteemed a dish fit for the'gods. At every great banquet it makes its appearance as a hash or stew. A young Englishman, attached to our Canton factory, dining one day with a wealthy Hong merchant, was de termined to satisfy his curiosity in Chi nese gastronomy by tasting all or most of the numerous dishes which were sue cessively handed round. One dish pleased him so well that he ato nearly all that was put before him. On returning homeward, some of his compan ions asked him how he liked the dinner and how such and such dishes and then began to imitate the whining and barking of half a dozen puppies. The poor young man then understood for the first time that he had been eating dog_ and was very angry, and very sick at the stomach. Other Europeans, howev er, have been known to declare that they succeeded in conquering a prejudice and that a six weeks old pup, properly fattened upon rice, and dressed a la Chi noise., was really a bonne bou

temm AN IMPORTANT FACT.— In a conversation with Captain Baxter, of the El Dorado, recently of the Cherokee, we learned an important fact, which may throw some like on the groat mystery of tho age—the yellow fever. Capt. Baxter left here with the Cherokee on the 12th August last, when the epidemic was at its height, with ono hundred and sixtynine passengers, the mnjority of whom were unncclimated, and liable to yellow fever. When the Cherokee emerged into the Gulf the sea was rough, and the passengers suffered a great deal from sea sickness. Every one of them was compelled to vomit, and the captain says he never had a more unanimously sick crew. Soon, however, it was all

PERCUSSION CAPS SUPERSEDED. —A new composition has lately been invented by Messrs. Winiwartier & Gersheim, of Vienna, for the purpose of superseding the ordinary percussion caps, and, in many instances, the gunpowder charge also. The most prominent features of these gun primers, as the composition is called, are the absence of a metalic coat or cover, and their uniform explosive power, the materials being of such a nature that, after a detonation, no residue whatever is left behind. The materials which form the new composition are fulminating mercury, chlorate of potash, and sulphide of antimony, the dangerous properties of which ingredients are diminished by the appli cation of collodion, which is used as cement, and it is the ingenious employment of this substance which constitutes the chief peculiarity of the invention.— <Scientific American>. ~~~~~~~

The idea has been suggested of requiring all railroad companies to insure the lives of their passengers at a reasonable rate. On the London and Liverpool rail way. passengers can insure their lives for 1JEK) sterling at three pence, for £1,000 at two peace, and for £500 at one penny. Thia plan secures 'he greatest caution on the part of diactors and conductors of the road, by »e necessity of guarding against pecuniary lees. It itso affords some provision for distressed families in dure of unavoidable*accidents^

whom httd suffered from sea sickness During tho voyage there wos ten of the crew down with the fever and on the arrival of the Cherokee in New York there being two still sick, they were ordered into the hospital, where one of thom died the other recovered. Not one of tho passengers had the fever.They were all permitted to Imd in New York after 18 hours, and the sick mem bers of tho crew alone were compelled to go into hospital detention. Here is an interesting fact for the doctors, grnerul vomiting saves over one hundred persons from a disease which attacks nine out of ten of the acclimated. Is not, too, the universality of the sickness, fact of some significance, from which ho physicians may extract some light on the subject of the character of this isease?—N.0 Delia, 13//i»

A MAN WITH TWENTY WIVES.—A man culling himself Dr. Wm. Hunter, but whose real name is said to be Nath aniel J. Bird, is in jail at Camden. N. J., on a charge of bigamy, and various other charges. On Saturdny, Elizabeth Harngton, a lady of Philadelphia, visited im in prison, and ascertained that he as the man to whom sho was married on tho 9th of July last. On the same day he was visited by another lady from Kensington, named Mary Thomas, to whom he was married in May last. It is also stated that he has a wife in Reading, another in Wilmington, Del., and anothet yet in Philadelphia. Tho prisoner is only about 23 years of oge, and, it is stated, declares that he has twenty wives, a statement which may be true, as more than one fourth of that number has been found within a few days. It is alleged that ho abandoned each wife soon after marriage, and that they nev er heard of him nfter until his recent nrrest. The affair creates the greatest excitement in Camden, and has induced nn immense num'-er of people to seek admission for the purpose of seeing him.

AMUSEMENTS. The licentiousness of American pleasure seems to be a re-action against the puritanical scrupulosity which so long formed the characteristic of our national manners. Pleasure of all kind was proscribed either as immoral or unpro fitable. We desire to promulgate the important truth, that rational amusements are neither unmanly, undignified, immoral, or irreligious. No man need seek them in a reckless, or shame-faced, or clandestine manner but the community and each individual should recognise their importance to sound health, good spirits and long life. Daily we encounter men with careworn faces, impaired digestions and shattered nerves who would be far better able to discharge their duties as citixefts, and as Christians, if they would abstract a few hours for judicious relaxation, from the time devoted to what they mistakenly regard as more important objects. Instead of stigmatizing as a reprobate the man who is seen to enter a bowling alley or a theatre, and thus doin«r much towards making him one, let the moral and religious direct their efforts to improving the tone of all places of amusement which are not of an essentially vicious character. Do not try to make the young believe that vice and pleasure are identical. Teach them rather to distinguish the use from the abuse of pleasure. The former will help them to maintain health of body and serenity of mind both of which may be Sacrificed in the latter.1 together with the loss of self-respect, and the respect of others.—Philadelphia City

STAND FROM UNDER.—A certain distinguished Astronomer, Professor Jewitt of North Carolina, says, in commenting on the probable collission [sic] between the comet and the earth, which was to have occurred about this time: 'I cannot find any reliable data for calculations as to what part of the earth's surface will be the first point of contact. The number of victims of this dreadful judgment might probably be greatly decreased by the removal of the inhabitants from that part and placing them in comparative security on the opposite side of the globe but I hold no delusions

—I leave this matter in obscurity because as I said above, the data are insufficient. If the comet should first strike the water —say in the middle of the Atlantic or Pacific Ocean—it may cause a partial or general deluge, as one did in the time of Noah. In that case the best plan would be to take to boats. If it should strike on the solid land, the evils to be apprehended would be multifarious.— The concussion would extinguish life in a great many—the subterranean fires might be stirred up and made to burn so fiercely as to consume the whole world.'

Exactly so, as Mrs. Partington says, 'if the comet should strike the earth, somebody would get hurt.' That idea of the<boats> is a good one. ~~~~~~~

The Washington correspondent of the New York Tribune says: The administration will give all its official prestige and strength to the Pa* cific Rnilrood. This hos been decided upon ofter full and lengthy discussion in Cobinot upon tho subject. The funds necessary—from two to five hundred millions of dollars—can readily be loaned in Europe on good security, at not over four percent. This will render the present tariff stable—a very great desideratum to our merchants and manufacturers so th»t after all Henry Clay's system Is being carried out by a Democratic administration.

THE SUBLIME PORTE.—The word, Porte,' as applied to the Turkish government, is derived from a version given by Italian interpreters to an Oriental phrase. It was an ancient custom of eastern sovereigns, in administeringjustice, of exercising other functions of their office, to sit, as the scriptural expression runs, at the gale of their pala ces. Gate become thus synonimous with 'court,' or 'office,' and the Sultan's court was called by excellence, the exalted or lofty gale. This phrase, in the literal translation of the'Dragomans, who were mostly Italians, became La Porta Sublime, whence tho title of the Sublime Potle.^^To the same source we owe the term, 'Grand Seignior,' as applied to the Ottoman Emperor

LOLA MONTEZ.—A letter from California dated Dry Creek, July* 25, published in the Lowel News, furnishes the following:

Lola Montez had a row with her hus» band in Marysville,last Saturday night. It seems he did not like certain movements of Mr. Miskn Hauser, one of her suite, and on attempting to remonstrate with, her, she raised her divine foot and nearly kicked the breath out of the poor fellow. He armed himself and returned to assault, and had just got himself in a beautiful attitude—one pistol at her head and another at his own—when some of the bystanders interfered end took him away. Lola then pitched into the crowd right and left, demanding her 'dear husband,' dcc. The landlord of the house allowed the Countess to remain all night, but rather summarily ejected her whole retinue, husband and all. Poor Mons. Miska Hauser took the first boat the next morning for the Bay.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 4.—The Department of the Interior yesterday received a letter from Colonel Wynkoop, Marshal of the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, stating that three of his deputies were on the point of being arrested on a state warrant, charged with riotous and illegal conduct in the execution of warrants issued by judge Grier of the U. S. Supreme Court, for the arrest of a negro claimed as a slave by Ishane Keith of Virginia. The Marshal asks authority to employ counsel and incur necessary ex penses in defending the suit.

NEW YORK, Sept. 30.—A little incident is noted in the proceedings of the Diocesan Convention of the P. E. Church, this morning, worth relating.
