LECTURES.

Agreeably to announcement of last week, Prof. J. D. BUTLER commenced his lectures at the Congregational church on Tuesday evening last. The portion we heard proved exceedingly interesting. Most persons have heard, or read something more or less, of Herculanenm and Pompeii. But descriptions from a careful and critical observer, recently on the spot, will always prore the most instructive. 3Ir. Butler has seen and examined for himself. There is a lile and vividness in his account, which enables one almost to see the great buildings, the streets and baths—the statues, pictures and household furniture which he describes. Hercu* laneum and Pompeii were overwhelmed by an eruption of Vesuvius in the year 79, A. D. Seventeen centuries have elapsed—and for a large portion of this time, the very names of these cities and others destroyed by the same eruption, have been almost for-* gotten. Within the last hundred years, however, excavations have been made to a great extent, bringing to light a most extraordinary condition of .things. Every thing in an excellent state of preservation. Medals, jewels, furniture, paintings, and even books are found scarcely at all injured. Houses, shops, theatres and temples in many instances appear as if almost new, or just in the way of erection, /YI'F •IOUC'I

Mr, Butler is a fine lectured— perfectly self-possessed with an excellent and clear voice, and with a thorough understanding of bis subject, he pictures to the very life enabling the hearer almost to see the objects described. We are glad to hear that arrangements are making to have the lectures continued—or at lest anew course delivered after a short time. ,i f-,

TEIIRE HAUTE.

,V A. H.SANDERS Esq ofihe Evansville

Journal nfter a recent visit to Terre Haute thus speaks of our place. In the residences, there is much more taste exhibited than we display in our own city, whilanearly every mansion, or neat little cottoge, is planted in a large yard, wherein the owner has an oppor­

tunity of displaying his love of fruits and flowers. The very pretty gardens, refreshing shade trees. ornamental shrubbery, &o., assist more in lending the the word beautiful to Terre Haute, than all other things combined. We could only imagine how dolighiful a place of visit or residence our sister city must be In the spring and summer months, by the really handsome appearance she presents even among the frosts of winter. But Terre Haute is -«a place of beauty"

at all times. It is regularly laid out, has a clean and fresh appearance, while the public square in the center, with its Court House, trees and grass, surrounded by large and-ncat^ores, lend another charm to that which scarcely needed it

CONGRESSIONAL..

In the Senate, Dec. lltb, Mr. Adams introduced a bill establishing a uniform rule of naturalization throughout the United States. Tbe bill extends the term of naturalization to 21 years. He argued that, in one hundred years from this time every inch of the American Continent would be required for the support of the American PeoP'€ Self preservation, then, required that no inducement should be held out to emigration He denied any connection with the Know Nothings, or any political secret association He disclaimed all hostility to foreigners, and read from some former speech of his, showing that he had no unkind feeling against them, but he did think emigration was dangerous, inasmuch as foreigners ranged themselves with abolitionists. When he heard that a band of Germans had burned an American Senator in effigy he determined to introduce this bill. So far as he understood the principles of the Know Nothings, he agreed with them so far as they proposed to extend the term of naturalization, and in their sufferance of American Protestants to office to foreigners, or Catholics. The bill was then referred to the committee on Judiciary.

In the House, Mr. Clingman asked leave to offer a resolution requesting the President to tender the mediation of th3 United States in such manner as in his judgment may be most likely to lead to the pacification of the conflict now raging between the allied armies and Russia.

On motion of Mr. Boyce, the Judiciary committee were instructed to inquire and report as to the expediency of repealing the usury laws, with leave to report by bill or otherwise.

The House then went into committee of the whole on 'he state of the Union, and took up the Indian appropriation bill.

Mr. Mnce spoke at some length in denunciation of the repeal of the Missouri compromise, and avowed his purpose to be to introduce at as early day as practicable a bill prohibiting slavery in the Territories of Nebraska and Kansas. He said the repeal of the Missourf compromise was altogether unasked, and referred to the recent elections as evidence of the people's disapproval of the course of the Admistration.

Mr. Oliver, of Mo., condemned the course of Mr, Mace, as bringing again into Congress an apple of discord. j.-,y ,j ,v I—w

Mr. Washburn also spoke in favor of prohibiting slavery in the new Territories.

RE-ARRESTED.—Two weeks ago we noticed the escape of Burton, the celebrated burglar from our Jail. Through the vigilance and offered rewards of Mr. Burnett, our Sheriff, Burton has been retaken, brought back and safely lodged in jail. The jail we believe is now guarded by a day and night Watch, and it is hardly likely there will be any more escapes before the sitting of the next Courts. ~~~~~~~

ILLINOIS SEVENTH DISTRICT.—For some time past it seemed to be pettled that the official returns give Allen (Dem.) a majority of one vole. Now it is said to be found that Allen's majority in Clay County is only 186 instead of 246, which gives Archer (Whig) a majority of 59 votes. .•! .v

LATEST FOREIGN-NEWS.

Arrival of the Pacific-"—Terrible Storm in the Black Sea!—Thirty-two EnfflUb Transports, Three Mail Steamers, and

Five Ships of War of the Allied Fleer Lost or Driven Ashore. At the last accounts, Sebastopol bad not been taken, but both armies are preparing for a terrible conflict.

It is thought the British Parliament will be called to levy a new tax to meet the war expenses.

In England considerable panic and dismay prevailed since the battle of Inkerman,on the 5th of November, in which had been lis? certainedthat four thousand of the allied army and teu thousand of the Russianstwere left dead upon the field, and so much were both armies cut up, that neither of them were in a condition to resyme hostilities, -except on the Bieee works, up to the latest dates. .1.A

The utmost activity prevailed throughout France and Englanu in forwarding reinforcements to the Crimea, as the existence of the allied army depends upon immediate relief in this way. Several thousands had already arrived at the seat of war, and large numbers were on the way. It was reported that the Russians had captured two English cruisers in the Baltic.

The Austrian, Prussian and Germanic diplomatists were active, but France and England have notified them that they will not now treat on the basis of the four powers, but will take Sebastopol at all hazards, and occupy the Crimea, and will then dictate their own terms to the Czar of Russia.

A dispatch from Constantinople, dated Nov. 20, says that thirty-two English transports were lost in the Black Sea on the 14th. The Princc and Sea Nymph foqndered, and all on board perished. Three mail steamers had been stranded, and the Sanspariel was driven on shore on fire. The Britania had five feet water in her hold. The Agamemnon was stranded but got off. The machinery of the Sampson was damaged, and the Retribution had to throw her guns overboard to save herself. 'The Terrible was driven ashore,.and the Henry the Fourth and the Pluto are lost. The storm which produced these disasters swept over the Black Sea with frightful fury. A despatch from Odessa, dated Nor. 22, partly confirms the above, and says three ships of the line, belonging to the allies, were lost or greatly damaged. f:

The Czar's sons have retired from Sevastopol. The Hospidar of Wallachia announces the free exportation of corn from the principalities, next spring. Mohammed Pascha, the Turkish ex-Minister of Marine, has been banished from Turkey.

The departure of the British fleetTrom the Boltic was postponed ,until the 4th ot December.

The British Parliament has been summoned ti assemble on the 12tli of this month, and ominous rumors were current in England that a loan of ten millions sterling, at ten per cent., would be called for that the income tax would be increased, and power be asked for the embodyment of the entire militia of the kingdom by compulsory ballot, if required.

Rear Admiral Bruce has been appointed to the command of the English squadron in the Pacific.

The exhibit of James McIIenry's affairs show assets equal to one shilling and Sixpence on the pound sterlingof his liabilities, which may be slightly increased.

This is equivalent to about ten cents on the dollar, in our currency. The cannon of the Invalids, at Paris, were fired in honor ol the victory of the Inkermanu.

Educatiouul Circular to the 'Jfeuchcrs of Jndiniin. A. strong desire has frequently been expressed that a State Teacher's Association should be formed in this State, and that measures should be taken to effect such an organization at the earliest practicable period. The undersigned,Professional Teachers, in accordance with their own feelings, and at the suggestion of many others engaged with them in the great causc of Education, hare, through a Committee, made arrangements for such Convention aad are happy to announce to the Teachers of Indiana that said meeting will be held in College Hall, in the city of Indianapolis, commencing at 7 o'clock, on Monday evening, Dec. 25th, and continuing two days. The exercises will open with an address on "The connection of popular Intelligence with the civil and religious institutions of our Country," by Rev. Dr. WHITE, President of Wabash College.

On the succeeding days the following addresses will be delivered "Graded School," by Hon. H. II. Barney, Superintendent of Instruction in Ohio. "Female Education," by E. D. Mansfield, Esq., of Cincinnati. "The Bible in Schools," by Rev. Dr. Breckenridge, late Superintendent of In-

control the education of its youth," by Hon. Horace- Manu, President of Antioch College.

.(•learnings from the British Jonrnals. The two Grand Dukes, sons of the Emperor Nicholas, whose arrival at Sevastopol is mentioned in Genera^Canrobert's report of the battle of the 5th Apstant, hold high rank in the Russian army.

A Soldier's Feelings in the 'midst of Battle. A letter from a private soldier says "The bullet3 of the Minie rifle go past you with a most infernal sound. It is as though mockingd vils were sneering at you in the air. But your blood soon gets up, the sound maddens you, the smell of gunpowder has iutoxication in it", your veins tingle as if fire was running through them* the eyes strain, the jaws become rigid, and in you go." He states that he lost himself altogether at the .Alma, til! he founahimself a victor. He got" a wound on the forehead, only a graze, but it bled considerably, "the blood ran dowii into his mouth, and in his burning excitement he drank it as though it had been inspiring wine."

soi Cloven Ileads at Uulaklnva."*" have always imagined that split skulls and cloven heads Were ifignres.of speech until to-day, when I have indeed been.terribly convinced of the reality of such horrors. Some of the dead to day had their heads as completely cloven, as it the operation wo& performed by a surgeon with a saw. Nearly all the Russians were so killed. Our fallows had been principally slain with lance thrusts' I saw one body with thirteen such •wounds through the chest and stomach.— Another man had six, all of which were mere flesh wounds, and :not dangerous. The same man, in the 17th .Lancers, extraordinary and incredible as it may appear, had two horses killed under him, one or two sabare and bullet wounds iu his cap, his pword bent double in its sheath by a MinLe bullet, five bullets in his saddle, one in liisi lancestaff, and sword cuts innumerable. ^d^ii-il gmtdtiy service.

Tlie Russians opened a very heavy^^nnonade on us this morning—they alvsys have done sa on Sundays. Divine service was performed with a continual bass of cannon rolling through the responses and liturgy. The French were terribly cut up by the Garden Battery, more so, however, by their misfo'rtune of hist night. The Russians made a stealthy sortie toward morning, and advanced close to. the French pickets. When challenged, they replied, "Inglis, Inglis," which passed muster with our allies as bona fide English they soy, and ere they knew where they were, the Russians had charged them, got into their batteries, and spiked live mortars'. Thev were speedily repulsed but this misadventure^has mortified our brave allies exceedingly^,

A Novel Explosion.

On the 24ih (the eighth day of the siege) we had another explosion on our right attack. The story has an air of Munchausen about it, and if the tacts were not well known, I should have some scruples in tell ing it. An eight-inch gun had just been loaded with a live shell, and the match was applied to fire it ofl. At that moment one of the enemy's shells entered the gun, and the two shells exploding burst the gun. Every man in the battery was more or less hurt Some were'knU'd."

Gallantry of MencliikofT.

uis^rhe Ki-eUz Reilung, the organ of the Russian party at Berliift has published the following letter, purporting to be written in Sevastopol during the bombardment, dated October 24th "After being bombarded for eight days the town has indeed suffered a good deal, but the fleet is unhurt only the steamer Vi adimir has got two balls in her. The sailors who man the works erected by Colonel Todtlebon suffer the most. "The resistance seems to irritate the besiegers for the last few days they have been firing with red-hot bails.

^Bnnia Draining England of Gold. The Philadelphia Ledger remarks that it is a curious fact that the blockade of the Russian harbors, so far from reducing the exports of Russia, has only diminished the capacity of England to |pay f(ir those e»g ports otherwise than in gold. This extraordinary result has been brought about by the Russians shipping their hfernp, hides, tallow, (Sic., from Prussian porti, while they have not received in exchange!jas formerly their raw cotton, coffee and sugar from the Luns don merchants. Thus while England has received thirty-fire million dollars worth ol Russian produce since the commencement of the war, she has given Russia but six millions worth of goods in return. For all these articles from Russia England has been obliged, of course, to pay double prices, so th^l besitles being ontible to feSrter off her ovjn ordinary share of jjroplcal products for the productions of her "enemy, she is compelled to contract nearly twice aa great a debt as usual in order to obtain the quantity of Russian articles she requires. She is therefore obliged to disburse gold to an unprecedented amount, and thus furnishes the Czar with those very sinews of war in which he is the most deficient. The Ledger says "This condition of affairs is attracting tho attention of the British press. Many journals are even calling fir a return to the practice of seizing enemies' goods in neutral bottoms. The large quantities of lead shipped to Prussiau ports, and thence carried into Russia to be manufactured into musket balls, has particularly exasperated the British press. Yel what is to'bd done It will scarcely do for England' to retract from her late decision,:with respect to free ships making fre.e. goods, especially ns#the treaty between ihe United States and Russia pledges this country, in a measure, to enforce that doctrine in regard to our owii marine. It will answer but little better to make war with Prussia, for other avenues fbr Russian hemp and tallow will open. The truth is that England is in what is technically called "a fix," in reference to this matter, and will probably have to pay Russia, as Jong as the war lasts,, from twenty tj twenty-,live .millions in specie, for necessary tallow, wheat and hemp. In other words, the Czar will get out of her every year enough to keep a small army in the field. Such are some of the odd results of war when waged between a military and commercial power." id rf4

The Petersburgh (Va.) Intelligencer asks what shall the South do, if the.next Congress repeals the Fugitive Slave Law, and restores the Missouri Compromise! And answers that the South must work for its rights ond fight for them and that in such a case as the above, the Southern members should walk out of the hall of Congress like dignified gentlemen, and inform their constituents that the Government is dissolved.

Bah Walk out. indeed Why did not the North, walk out when Texas was annexed—when the Mexican war was gotten up through a Southern lie—when the Fugitive Slave Law, violating the constitution, was passed, aud when the Missouri Compromise, which "had become canonized in the hearts of the American peoplejis a sacred thing," was "recklessly and ruthlessly" repealed 1 Because they loved their country and its constitution, and had a full confidence that the people would hold every portion of the country to the provisions of that Instrument. If the "first families of Virgina" should "walk out of the halls of Congress like dignified gentlemen,'! they will walk in again like whipped spaniels, for the people of the Old Dominion, the birth place of Washington and Jefferson, will not believe this Union dissolved. It cannot be, and our Southern friends may as well understand, once for all, that they cannot dissolve the government by "fighting" tor their rights.—Richmond Palladium.

Some Very amusing letters from Utah have been recently written by new saints and published in the Chicago papers. One lately acquired brother is in raptures with the institution of polygamy. He has three wives the latest, he says, which'he "took three months ago, is from near Hamburg, Germany '0 She is larger/than either Sarah Ann or Elizabeth (the name of my second wife,) and, I say it without invidiousness or impropriety, 'is decidedly hdndsohie. Her person is,of good size.Ver.yround, full chest, bright flaxen hair, anil a soft blue eye. She enters into the duties of her new situation with wonderful alacrity, and is very happy, as are also Sarah Ann and Elizabeth. You may be surprised at this, but you will be still more so when assure yoil that all of my present wives are anxious that I should get another—one who is fitted by education, and physically adapted, to take charge of the business of the dairy. With such an arrangement of my household, every department of a well organized establishment, on a patriarchal scale, would have a head to it, and be governed in order. I have no inclination to comply on my own account, as I am well satisfied With those I now have but if I should do so, it will be entirely out of regardfor them.

DR-GUYSOTT'S IMPROVED EXTRACT OF YELLOW DOCK AND SARSAPARILLA is a sure remedy for Hereditary Taint.

Thousands of individuals are curcd with grievous complaints which they inherit from their parents. The use of tho Yellow Dock and Sarsaparilla will prevent all this and save a vast amount of misery, aud mauy valuable lives, for it thoroughly expels from the system the latent taint, which is the seed of disease, and so take off the curse by which the sins or misfortune of tho parents are so often visited upon tho innocent offspring.

Parents owe it to their children to guard them against the effects of maladies that may bo communicated by dcscect, and children of parents that have at any time been affected with Consumption, Scrofula or Syphilis, owo it to themselves to take precaution against tho disease being revived in them." GuysOtt's Extract of Yellow Dockanil^jiriiapfmlla is a sure antidote in such cases, *5*.

Dr. S A'AYXE—DearSirI feel it a debt ol gratitude Jue to you—and a duty to the afflicted jjenerally, to offer my humble t(wUnwny'7ir^Yur6f yout Compound Syrup of Wild Cherry. Some three yeare since, 1 was violently attacked with cold and inflammation of the Luugs, which was accompanied with a very distressing coiigh, paio in the breast aad head ..a very considerable dis* charge of offensive mucus from tho lungs, espe* cially upon changes of weather^ however slight. At first I felt no alarm about mv condition, bat was pretty eoon convinced that" 1 tvas rapidly going into consumpti6n. I:grew daily weaker, and at length wa8-carcely able to walk •bourror speak above a whisper, such was tho exceedingweakness of ,y ]ung3. During this t|m71 fed tried various preparations and prafecrlpti(Ats. bnt found no rcl iep—growingat* the time worse. Just here 1 waa advised and persuaded byifl-tt^af Friend in^Wilmington, to trial of your Syrup of Cherry. I must ednfesi that previously 11,,,^ been prejudiced against patent medlcines, a„

those coming out'of

|,e profession and practice of nr.cdicine,

having implicit faith in the saying of my: friends, I forthwith purchased of Dr. Shaw, one of your agents, a few bottles and commenced its use. My disease was at this time of 20 or 29 months' standing, consequently was deeply seated. I found, however, considerable relief front* the use of the first (bur or Eve bottles. But being a public speaker, I frequently attempted-to preach with my increasing strength aud thereby ruptured those vessels that had alre'ady begun to heal in this way doubtless my onro was greatly retarded. In consequence of acting thus imprudently, 1 had to u?o 12 or 15 bottles before 1 was perfectly restored. 1 have no question, a much smaller number of bottles would have made mo sound, but for the above indiscretion. Tho Syrup allaved iie feverished habit, did away the dis^ tressing cough, put a stop to the discharge *»f mat. terfrom the lungs, and gave theni and the entiro system good health. I have doterred offerin^thia eertificato till now for tho purposo of being perfectly satisfied with the permanency of the criref, and "now that 1 feel perfectly well, ofler it with pleasure. REV, J.
