We are authorized to announce the name of A. M. PETTENGILL as a candidate for Marshal, at the ensuing May election.

LA!iD/WABitA^TS.-^Itl#fctated tjjat appli* cations alrefcdy presented for land Warrants, under the 4ate bounty act, uumber over forty thousand. Those, who get their warrants .first will obtain for ttiem the highest price, and the rule is, first come first servpd. The rates of warrants will fall very low, as is •apposed, in the market, after the issue of the first fifty thousand. The pension bureau probably urtder estimates the quantity of land required to satisfy the act at thirty-six millions of acres. No warrants will be issued before July.

The majorities for the pro-slavery ticket at the election on the 30th ult., in Kansas, Varied between 200 and 800 votes in each district. The number of legal votes in the Territory, according to the census just taken, is about 2,600. Tn Lawrence City, the population of which, three weeks before the election, was about 650, men, women, and children, there were 1033 votes cast."

Previous to the election the Kansas "Herald of Freedom" stated that there were full a hundred Missourians encamped in-tents and wsgons on the Wakarusa, in that election district, waiting an opportunity to cast their votes at the coming election, with the view of securing the Legislature to the proslavery interest. The same pains were t.nken, said the Herald, to supply voters enough in each election precinct to carry every district against the advocates of freedom. .,.H

FIRE.—On Tuesday afternoon last the handsome residence of James Farrington,

Esq.,

Esq., in the southern part of the city was discovered to be on fire. A high wind prevailing at the time, and the insufficiency of water, prevented the subjugation of the flames until the brick portion of the dwelling was destroyed. The small frame adjoining escaped uninjured.. How the fire originated,

is not known. A chimney had been on fire

in the morning, but it had been watched, and no danger was apprehended from it. All the furniture was saved, but we understand there was no insurance upon the house. ~~~~~~~~

RAILROAD ACCIDENT.—On Saturday morning last, a brakeman named Nelson Smith was killed on the Evansville and Crawfordsville road. While the freight train was going over the bridge across the canal, four miles below town, Smith, who was on top of a car, came in contact with the bridge, was knocked off between the cars, and run over. He was a young man, but a short time in the employ of the road, and leaves a young wife to whom he was recently married. ~~~~~~~

DEATH OF JUDOS JONES.—We II avis'to onnounco the death of Judge JACOB JONES, who expired at his residence near Prairleion, on Friday of last week, in the 54th year of his age. He was an old citizen of the county, having removed to this section from Tunnessee, some 38 years ago. He was a member of the Society of Friends, nnd for many years associato Judge of the Circuit Court of „Vigo county and through a long course of citizenship he was a highly respectable and useful member of society. He leaves a widow and several children to mourn his loss.

FRUIT.—As is usual at this season of the year, the crookcrs have announced that the fruit is all killed. Newspaper accounts of the weather in other places, and our own knowledge of the weather nbout these parts, induce us to think there is no foundation for anticipating a failure of the fruit crop. The general complaint has been of the protracted coldness of the weather, preventing the forwardness of fruit, and we have not even heard of the least swelling of the buds.— Some knowing nurseryman has given his opinion that the crop of peaches and cherries throughout the entire State will be a failure. We think he is very much mistaken, and believe that up to this time fruit is in no way injured. ff

BLACKWOOD'S MAGAZINE.—The March number of BLACKWOOD'S EDINBURGH MAGAZINE is before us. As usual it is filled with good reading. The article "Civilization— The Censusis alone worth the price of any number. Price 83,60 a year. Price of Blaekwood and any one-of the four Reviews, the London, Edinburgh, North British or .Westminster Quarterlies, $5,00, or the whole five together, $10,00 per year.

THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES DECLA» RED ELECTED.—The Cincinnati Gazette tbe judge# and clerks of the eleventh and twelfth wards having made a (return of ih« election held therein, the £ity Clerk issued certificates to each of ^be Democratic candidates. They were deciaied elected, and have signified their acceptance by taking the oaths of

Denth of Joseph G. Marshall. We announce this morning, with unfeign* ed rejpet, th^deceaao ofjtfj® HoB. Joseph G. Marshal), of Indiana. This distinguished gentleman

:died-yesterday

residence of Cot. Robert K. White, in this city, having arrlved here on his way to the Souths where he proposed spending aotne time for the benefit of his health.

Mr. Marshal] was a native of this State, having been born in Fayette county. He removed when young to Indiana and made Madison his place of residence, where he practiced his profession with great success. As a lawyer he was one of the most powerful advocates of the West his abilities being -very.superior*.both whgp sdlr$M$d to the discussion of the mo6t abstruse legal points and in,a piling fojLhe sympathies of jurors. ,j a

As a politician Mr. Marshall obtained no great degree of eminence his unswerving devotion to Whig principles in a Democratic State, having hindered his attaining those positions to which his eminent talents entitled him. He however occupied several stations of honor and during last winter was a prominent candi date, fqr ted States Senator. .n

The cause of Mr. Marshall's death was consumption, with which he has been suffering for some time. Its ravages had been stayed by Mr. M. having refrained of late from any active participation in the active duties of his profession. Recently he made a most powerful argument before the Supreme Court at Indianapolis, the excitement attending which completely pxostrated his strength. Leaving his home he reached Louisville en route for the South, and here at the house of an attentive friend died.

The remains of Mr. Marshall will be taken to Madison on the mail boat, from the residence of Col. Robt. K. White, on Broadway near Third^-^^^CoW' April 9th. i.-..i t..ii'

The'Washington correspondent of the N. York Herald gives the following illustration of the way the public money goes. Several hundred tons of coal within the last two years, have, by order of the Navy Department, been sent to the Mediterranean lor the use of our steamers, &c., at something like the following cost rl/Per ton $7,50 for freightage alone, from $7 to $8, making an average per ton, say to Gibralter, $15, whilst coal of a superior quality can be had at Gibralter for $4 per ton. In addition to the cost of the coal from the United States, the removal of the same from the vessels that carry it to the place of storage, is an additional cost of §2. Cost to the U. States per ton $17 a belter quality to be had on the spot at $4—loss to the United States per ton #13. It will be interesting to point out into whose pockets this fair per centage goes, the number of tons of coal sent to the Mediterranean in the last two years, and the quantity of it that has been condemned as unfit for use, and the total amount actually used for the benefit of the government.

Election in Richmond, Va. Tho municipal election at Richmond on Wednesday last resulted in the complete succes of tho American "ticket.— For the office of Mayor Joseph Mayo received 1,971 votes, aguinst 715 for John D. Munford, the Dmocrntic candidate, showing a majority of 1,266. The vote for other city officers was neariy in the same proportion. The majority in Richmond for the Whig ticket at the two last general elections was about 850. The Whig estimates that the majority for Mr. Flournoy, for Governor, in May next,, will be 2,000. wi

from 1,500 to ivWi 1! r? 4 rl.

MILITARY EXPEDITION TO THE PLAINS.— It is announced in the St. Louis Republican that orders have been received from Washington for the early March of four thousand troops, under Gen. Harney, to the Western Plains, with a view to the chastisement of the Indians who have been engaged in depredations upon the property and the murder of American citizens. It is understood that 1,900 of the troops are to be stationed at Fort Laramie, 800 at Fort Kearny, 600 at Fort Riley, and 1,500 on the Upper Missouri. They are to take out a year's supply of provisions. ~~~~~

TRIAL FOR MURDER.—WM. KIRTLEY charged last summer with the murder of DAWSON, at Brazil, was tried last week at Greencastle, on change of venue from Clay County. He was found guilty of man slaughter, and sentenced to two years in the Penitentiary.

Itself very strikingly.—

The NewYorlrEvening Post says that the opening of navigation on the river there does not addto the supplies on the contrary, the dealers of Albany and Troy are making purchases of wheat in the New York market. The Post adds "The stock of wheat is reduced to 95,000 bushels, nearly all Southern and Canadian, When the canals open It Is not expected that the supplies will be heavy, either from Canada or the Upper Lakes, whence only supplies can be had. No supplies of grain or flour can come from Ohio, or the intefiolk* of New Yorjc, so that the sopefcs of supply until after next harveat, are'very limited.— There are no receipts of importance-via-Jt* Orleans, and the supplies of southern flour are light from a want of wheat to grind. Prices, therefore, instead of falling when navigation opens, are likely to'be fully maintained, if they do not actually rise. "The great scarcity of feed for hogs is, we observe, greatly diminishing the boga in the country, especially in Illinois, and will produce a serious effect, by snd by, in the price of provisions. The immediate result, however, has been in sending more hogs and hog flesh to market. "More fresh Pork has been consumed this winter "than usual, and has had considerable influence in checking the price of other meal."

The Africanization of Cubi. The following declaration extracted from a communication addressed by the Minister of Foreign Affairs to the Cap tain-Genora( of Cuba, effectually-con-tradicts'the apprehension that the island of Cuba is to be abandoned to the free negroes. The argument of fillibusterism, will, we presume, fall with this correction "The entire nation, legitimately represented by the Constitutional Cortes, with the unanimous assent of all the Deputies, and in entire conformity with the manifestation, likewise unanimous, of all the Ministers of the Crown, has just proclaimed, in the sitting of the 8th the firm resolution of all to protect properly in the form and in the conditions which are proper to it in that portion.of the monarchy, recognizing expliciily that one of the most essential is slavery, to the end that slave-holders may have the preservation pf their property assured to them by the national voto, and may count, consequently, upon the efforts of Government, whatever that Government

may be. "1.,

PRUDEHT EDITOR.—A little more than a year ago, says the Louisville Journal, we were in Washington city, and we heard a distinguished and able democratic, editor speak repeatedly of President Pierce and the administration in terms of the most unmeasured contempts For a long time afterwards we carefully read his paper, expecting, or at least half expecting, to find in it some indication of the editor's scorn, for the functionaries at the head of the government, but we found nothing of the sort. Indeed, we found him ready to defend upon all occa-^ sions in his columns every word of the President and every act of the administration.- Tliia editov was appointed by the President a few weeks ago, to a highly lucra-: tive office. Ther'se a lesson for malcontents iirthe Democratic editorial corps.

SOLD.—The editor of the Piqua (Ohio) Enquirer desired that some one should write him a New Year's Address expressing his decided aversion to the Know Nothings.— He received a lengthy Address denouncing the K. N's. in unmeasureJ terms, which he published in due form. In course of time, as is general in such cases, it was discovered that the pown was an acrostic, the first letter in each line making the following sentiment: ••»*'«*,:« "The Know-Nothings, our country's hope

CONVENTION OF CHRISTIANIZED JRWS. —A epifvention of Christianized Jews is to bo held in New York city in May next. A correspondent of the Rochester Advertiser says that a prominont matter to be brought before the convention, is the consideration of the return of the Jewish people to Palestine, and to take measures to co-operate with Jews in England who have already moved in the matter) and other parts of the Eastern world.»i«'-'*&».•

CELEBRATION or HENRY CLAY'S BIRTH DAT.—The New York correspondent of the Philadelphia Ledger say a ivrf

Ice will be broken here for the next Presidential campaign, at the celebration pf Henry Clay "a birth-day, by the Whigs of this city, st the Metropolitan Hall, on the evening of the ISthi "The great gun on the occasion will be Hon.

The advices from Sevastopol conuin nothing of special importance. From the Conference at Vienna the advices are important. The first of the four points, gusranteeirig that the Prin« cipalities be placed under the protection of the five powers, was unanimously adopted. •The new Emperor of Russia had made several speeches—those to his Ministers were mild and peaceable, but those to his army, warlike—on the whole, his language is interpreted in a pacific sense.

The first of the four points which has been agreed upon by tho Vienna Con ference, reads as follows: "The abolition of the exclusive protectorate of Russia over the provinces of Moldavia and Wallachia the privi lege accorded to these provinces by the Sultan, being placed under the guarantee of the five Powers."

The latest dispatches from Vienna, which are up to Friday mornfing, say that the conference was progressing favorably and the sccond point had been agreed upon, that day, or would be the day following but it must be understood that the question of peace or war will not be decided until the third point is agteed upon. The Paris correspondent, of the London Times telegraphs to that paper under date of Friday evening, that the news from Vienna nppears favorable to peace, and that the people ore disposed to believe that the conference will be attended with happy results. Count Nesselrode will proceed to Vjenna, when the negotiations become eriiicah*iiThe new Cznr had given strong evidence of abiding by the plans traced out by his father, and that he would make no concessions.

Rumor9 were current of a new basis of arrangement including the freedom of the Black sea the openingof the Danube, and the crefttion of a Turkish Protectorate in Asia. Advices from Constantinople say the porte had determined to maintain unaiminished sovereignty over the Dardanelles, and protests against the Christians of the empire being placed under any foreign proiectorat3. The Porte also de ires the participation of Prussia in the conference. Ali Pacha, the minister offoreign affairs, had been summoned to Vienna.

The official report of the storming °f the Maikoff redoubt, bv the French, on the night of the 28ih of February, shows it to be one of the most .gallant achievements of the campaign. General Ostin Sa'cken telegraphs to St Petersburgh as follows: On the night of the I'Oth we erected anew redoubt, about three hundred yards'in front of the Korniloff bastion, and our works are carried on with success."

The health of the allied troops is satisfactory. The English position was well fortified,

Lord Raglan's last dispatch is dated 8th March.

John O'Connor, late of Parson town. Kings county, Ireland, addressed to. the London Times the following letter:

NEW YORK, March 5, 1855.

Mn the name of God and humanity, I ontroat you to use your powerful and influential paper to stop the emigration of my miserable countrymen from dear old Ireland. They are suffering all kinds of privation here—thousands sup ported on public charity, lodging in the station houses, *nd the thermometer ten degrees below, zero# no work, and no chance of #ny." ••in the midst of this distress 1,200 people landed to day, and thousands are expocwd. Are the people mad, thai they rush on to death, and destruction The Americans area liberal people they do all they can, but millions will not sustain the poor foreigners here. Souphouses in all the wards are daily crowded with the poor. Ho# can it be otherwise! The emigrants land here at the rate of 10,000 a week. 460,000 arrived last year, and there will bo more this year if not stopped by the interference of humane men in Englaod. The scene here is heart-rending. The work in the warerooms, canals, and factories is suspended, which adds -J scribe."

The Journal of St. Petersburgh issues a supplement of twelve pages, describing the funeral cortegg if thf Emperor

Accounts from St. Petersburgh, probably reliable, of date vMsrch^!9ih^stati that the substance of (he CznT Al'ffce.n. der's speeches to the Sspreseiuatives ei1 the different..hodteiLMd ^administrations of the "5mie","*may" be condensed into ihese Words: "I will maintain firmly the plans traced out by my father 1" In bis address to the Council of State, tho officers of the Guard, and a deputation of Nobles,* whp repprtpd concerning the irmliti(\» th9 pzar ^pressed himself still more strongly:

This speech was responded to with vehement applause. His speech to the Diplomatic Corps was rather less fiery. .Here is.the^mar row of it

•'I solemnly declare here before you, gentlemon, that I remain faithful to all the sentiments of my father, and that I will persevere in the line of political principles which served as a rule to my uncle, the Emperor Alexander, and to my father. These principles are those of the ho|y alliance. If that alliance no longer exists, it was not my father's fault His intentions were always upright and loyal, and, if recently they wore misunderstood by some persons, I do not doubt that God and history will do him justice. "I am ready to contribute towards a good understanding, on the conditions which h& accepted. Like him, 1 desire peace, and wish.the evils of war terminated but if the conferences which are about to dpen at Vienna do not lead to a result honorable for us, then, gentlemen, at the head of faithful Russia, I will combat with the whole nation, and will perish sooner than yield "As to my personal sentiments for your sovereign addressing tho Minister of Prussia they have not varied, 1 have never doubted of the fraternal affection and friendship which his Majesty the King, had for my father, and I have already .told you how grateful I am to him for it. 1 am deeply, sensible of ilie kind words which the Emperor has caused to be transmitted to me. on this occasion,.( addressing the Minister of Austria and his Majesty cannot doubt of tile-sincere affection which my father entertained for him at a period, which he himself has recalled by an order of the day addressed tp his army.

The Death of the Cztr Foretold Two Years Since.' .A Letter that appeared in the London Times over the signature of Dr. Granville, a^physiciun of some eminence, had attracted notice, Dr.' Granville had once been Lord Palmersion's medical auendeni, and in 1846 resided in a professional capacity at St. Petersburgh where he had medical introductions to the Imperial Court. In the month of July, ll!53, he addressed a confidential letter to Lord Palmerston, and which he Granville,now reproduced in the Times In that letter he stated, that having formed a careful prognosis of the state of health of the Emperor Nicholas.-he had come to the conclusion that he would die suddenly in the 59ih year pf his age. At an interview with Lord Palmerston, February 23d, 1854, Palmerston asked Dr. G. if he still adhered to his opinion and prediction Granville replied, "before July, 1855, when the Emperor would be 59 years of age, the event anticipated would happen. Let but a ft'W reverses overtake him, and his death like that of all.hjs brothers, will be sudden." It has proved so. Alma, Inkerman, Balaklava, says the Dr. shook the mighty brain. Eupatoriu completed the stroke, and anticipated the prognosis by only a few weeks

The Way Congressmen do Thinfcs. In the Rome, New York, Post Office, there is said to be twenty-one bags of documents, books. &c., seift by muil for the Hon. Caleb Lyons, a member of the Late House of Representatives from that district of New York State which is composed of Lewis and Jefferson counties. These doctimnets franked by the member himself to his address, as no one else would take the trouble to do so. Each bag with its contents weighs about one hundred and fifty pounds, making a total weight of one and a half tons. All this mass is transported free of cost a long distance by railroad and other conveyonce, though the govern* ment is obliged to pay very heavily to the Railroad and other Companies for carrying it. Here are nearly two cart loads of stuff sent, by a member of Con gress, through the mail to his own ad dress at the cost of the public. If the gentleman had sent all bis wardrobe and other personal effects home in the same way, it would not have weighed one fourth as much, nor been so serious an expense to the public treasury. In the. same style, a member of Congress may as well frank his shirts home to be washed, or his boots or coat to be mended as jdeed it was said some years ago some western member was detected in doing.

The Connecticut Election. The returns of the State elections in Connecticut show a complete defeat of the friends of the Federal Administration. The Whigs and Know-Nothings have carried, according to one account, eighteen, and according to another twenty, of the twenty-one Senators, about twothirds of the members of the House, of Representatives, and the four members of Congress. There were three candidstes for Governor in the field, l^he Know-Nothing candidate, Mr. Minor, has the largest vote, and next to him, at no great distsnce, is his Democratic competitor the'Whig candidate having received, it is supposed about ten thou sand votes, the election of Minor and the other Know-Nothing candidates for State offices by the Legislator* is expected it a matter of coarse, la tho ,tast Congress the four member! ^COL were Democrats.—if.

The Committee of Inquiry, A Loudon Correspondent says The committee of inquiry on the state of the army before Sevastopol has been sitting etery day, atid the evidence given is, ss'-«i raid jn niy jist, a mass of corrooorati vqMiestimony to tli^ truth if the statemen® pf j»ur o\yn cwrespondfeftt^' 7 His #oy»l fighnesiplibe Duke of CamWidge, Q|ptai$ K^lock/b'f the Himalaya, Cap^Ska^pe^ Mr/Maedonaid,.the Htpa,CdtomiWoner, the Earl of Luc'aii, &c., have ^hls^ week appeared befbre*the .committee and given eviden e. The Duke of Cambridge gavo plain and simple statements, oufficiently conclusive of disgraceful mismanagement.— Captain Kellock related how the gigantic steamer, which ho commanded, and which, at that time, at enormous co^t, .M|as chartered by the Government, wis.sent t» the Bosphorus with a little lot* of Wfercoal, itiihow he

Shak speare related about iron tools,.which-bent and turned when they encountered jyood, and graphically spoke of a heap of tools collected in the camp, which looked like fossil remains, and were throwWthere, although they had cost the country large sums, as worthless.

Mr. Macdonald related the stateof the hospitals, and referred, to the many murders committed by the demon routine. Gen Bentinck related an anccdote of an impor tant order for articles urgently required by his men, having bfeen sent back to him because it was' signed cm inch too Joxo! "*Lord Lucan made a clean breast, and enpoAoAthe utter ignorance, the inexperience and the recklessness, with which the horses were destroyed—cavalrv horses worth $375 eaph being used for work that horses, of which plenty could be purchased for $25 cach, were well able to do. aJsy

It is really 6tariling to read these repeated evidences of shameless confusion and carelessness, and every person examined only proves that the newspaper correspondents understated 'rather than exagerated their descriptions of what actually took place. The total expenditure for the one year of our war estimates, is $200,000,000, and after reading the evidence taken before tho committee, it does not appear at all out of the way but it does strike one as being a shameful expenditure, when the number of deaths are taken into consideration. It is rather too bad to squander life as recklessly as treasure.

CONSUMPTION.

Among the numerous discoveries Science has made in this generation to facilitate tho business of life—increase its enjoyment, and oven prolong the term of human existence, none can be named of more real value to mankind, than this contribution of Chemistry to tho Healing Art. A vast trinl of its virtues throughout this broad country, has proven beyond a doubt, that no mcdicino or combination of rncdicinos yet known, can so surely control and euro tho numerous varieties of pulmonary disease which have hitherto swept from our midst thousands and thousands every year. Indeed, there is now abundant reason to believe a Remedy has at length been found which can be relied on, to cure the most dangerous affections of the lungs. Our space hero will not permit us to publish any proportion of tho euros affected by its use, but wo would present the fol. lowing: and refer further inquiry to my American Almanac, which the agent below named will always bo pleased to furnish- free, wherein are full particulars, and indisputable proof of these statements.

J. C. AVER. Dear Sir,—My little son, four years old has just recovered from a severe attack of malignant Scarlet Fever, hie throat was rotten, and every person thatisited him pronounced him a dead child. Having used yourCi/ERHY PECTORAL in California, in the winter of 1850,for a severe attack of Bronchitis, with entire success, was induced to try it on my littlo boy. .1 gave him a tea Bpoon full every three hours, commencing in the morning, and by ten o'clock at night I found a decided change lor the better, and after three days use, he was able to eat or drink without pcin.

Its use in the above named disease will sara many a child from a premature grave, and relieve the anxiety of many a fond parent. For all affections of the Throat and Lungs, I believe it the best medietas extant.- A feeling of tho deepest gratitude, prompt,s me in addressing yon these lines,—but for your important discovery, my little boy would now have been ia another world."

I am yours, with great respect, J. D. POWELL, Sup. Tran., L. R. R.?. Rock Hill, (SomersetCo.,) N. J., July 21, '52. DR. J- C. AYES,—Since your medicine b.as be*' come known here, it has a greater demand than any other cough remedy we have ever sold. It is spoken of in terms oi unmeasured praise by those who have used it, and 1 know of somo cases where the best they can say of it, is not too much for the good it has done. I take pleasurein selling it, because I know that I am giving my customers the worth of their money, and 1 feel gratified in seeing the benefit itconlera.

Please send me a further supply, ssv rand believe me, yours with respect,
