In connexion with the above, it may b« stated that JOHN WATSON'S CHECKS are classed No. 1 in Terre Haute. In this place they are current at par—and promptly redeemed in specie or good funds.
The standing charge, the daily charge, rhado by the Southern anti-Know-Notliing party of the North, is that it is an abolition or Freesoil party. Throughout the whole South there is not a single anti-Kuow-No-thing organ that does not press this charge upon a'l possible occasions, in season aud out of season. It is the main charge, Indeed the one charge, upon which the Southern anti-Know-Nothing leaders rely for success. Take it away from them, and they have little left. And it should be taken away from them. It is as false and calumnious a charge as the very genius of mendacity and malice could invent. Whatever sins the mass of the Know-Nothing party of the North may have to answer for here or hereafter, abolitionism is not one of them. Undoubtedly there are abolitionists among them, and undoubtedly in some few localities the abolitionists predominate among them, but, take the whole of the Know-Nothing party of the North together, and it is sounder at heart, sounder In principle, and sounder in action upon the great slavery issues than any other party in that section has ever been known to be. Its strong efforts to nationalize itself by sinking the slavery agitation so as to be able to harmonize with the Know-Nothing-ism of the South have been and still continue to ho very great, and the degree of its success is cheering to ilia entire patriotism of the nation. If the slavery agitation is destined ever to be allayed, that mighty work is certainly to bo accomplished by what is called the American party, which, if we are correctly informed, now requires of oil its members a solemn obligation to adhere to the Constitution and the Union in any and everj emergency that may arise.—Lou.

ARTIFICIAL SPRINGS.—The
Pittsburgh
Gazette has an interesting article on the comfortable country homes that business men of the cities are beginning to know how to own and enjoy. The mode described, of obtaining artificial springs, strikes us feasible and excellent:
Take a piece of ground with an inclination, more or less, as the case may be, not too steep, but so that it can be drained easily. If possible, choose a piece of ground higher than the house. Clean off the ground *yell, and keep all garbage and filth off it, aod let no animals run on it. Build a cistern of a large 6ize at the foot of this slope. Then drain the ground thoroughly, placing the drains near enough to each other to gather all the water that falls, and have them all tending towards the cistern. Place the lrafts about eighteen inches beloiy lhaaur face. Broken stoae.or draining tiles will answer. Sow the ground down to grass, and mow it. A quarter of an vera of ground treated in this way, will giveaa unfailing supply of soft pure water, equal to any spring. If this cistern is situated higher than the house, a lead pipe will Fupply water to every part, and to the stables. More money is fr
requently spent on a well thai would
suffice to supply an artificial spring, in places where the ground renders this mode entirely practicable. -...ww...
THE MARSHFIELD SALE.—The closing sale of the estate of the late Daniel Webster, took place at Marshfield, to the presence of six or seven hundred per* sons. The sale was conducted in such manner as to reserve in the family, in accordance with the wishes of the de« ceased statesman the mansion house and surrounding lands, between three and four hundred acres in extent, comprising the whole of Mr. Webster's original purchase, while other extensive and valuable grounds, afterwards added, together with the remaining stock on the farm, were disposed of at fair prices for the benefit of the estate. The aggregate sale* ftmoufited to about 916,000. .im

THE BLACK WARRIOR CASS—The Washington Union contains exirocts from the despatches of \he Spanish Minister of State, in which he agrees to, tje demands of Secretary. Marcv, so far as concerns indemnity for the outrage, on tho Black Warrior. The amount will be paid as soon as the proper account shall be presented. In allowing this in5demnity, the Minister thinks his government rebukes the conduct of the Havana officials who committed the outrage, none uf. whom are now in office. As, however, Mr. Marcy demanded that the Spanish government should show some decisive mark of its displeasure at their proceedings, he adds that their cases will be submitted to the supreme tribunal of justice for examination. This decision of Spain would be hailed with pleasure but for the fact that other questions of grave magnitude, to say nothing of more recent outrages, still remain un adjusted. -A ..

A CALIFORNIA JOKE.—A
miner who had
been much respected, died some time since at the California diggings, and it was determined to give him a regular funeral. A digger in the vicinity, who, report said, had once been a powerful preacher in the United StateS, was caltetf'on to officiate and'after drinks all round,', the party proceeded with becoming gravity, to the gravej wliich had been dug at a distance of a hundred yards from the camp. When this spot was reached, the officiating minister commenced with an extempore prayer, during which all knelt round the grave. So far was well but the prayer was unnecessarily long, and at last some of those who knelt began, in an abstracted way, to finger the loose earth that had been thrown up from the grave.
It was thick with gold, and an excitement was immediately apparent in tho kneeling crowd. Upon this the preacher stopped, and nquiringly said, 'Boys, what's that 1 Gold!' he continued, 'and the richest kind of diggings—the congregation are dismissed The poor miner was taken from his auriferous grave, and was buried elsewhere, while the funeral party» with the parson at their head, lost no time in prospecting the new digging.
THE NATIONAL ARMORIES —If an opinion were to be formed of the warlike intemionsof the representatives of the American people, we certainly should not find much ground for nlartn in the extent of our preparations for contest with the world in arms.' The followng sums were appropriated at the last session for the manufacture of arms at the National armory, two hundred and fifty thousand dollars for new machineat Harper's Ferry armory, twenty thousand dollars for repairs and improvements and new machinery at Harper's Ferry, thirty two thousand six hundred ond seventy-three dollars for repairs ond improvements ond new ma chinery at Springfield armory, fifty four thousand dollars.
A shooting affair and murder was enacted in Hendricks county last week.— The Putnam Banner learns that the difficulty arose from one of the parties, Mr. Chord, having sold to the other, Mr. Arnold, a farm at a small pittance of its real worth with the understanding that he was to have the farm back when he could raise the money to pay back to Arnold. Arnold attempted to take the advantage of, and thereby cheat Chord out of his farm. A law suit was the result, and Chord going at the suggestion of his lawyer, upon the farm to take possession of it, entering the yard, declared his business to Arnold when a fight ensued. Chord knocked Arnold down, fracturing his skull, when Arnold's son ran up and shot Chord through the heart, killing him instantly. ~~~~~~~

The Buffalo 'Democracy' gives some use ful biota about fro«t and iron, and a* to the wear and tear, during the past winter, of the rails
upon the New York Central." This is the report .' There were three kinds in use under the observation of our informant those weighing 56 lbs., and these weighing 75 lbs. to the yard. The heaviest rails were worn the worst, the next heaviest leas, and the lightest the least of all. "And the heaviest were injured more in proportion than either of the others. The 56 lb. rail stood the frost and percussion of the passing trains as compared with the 65 lb. one, better than the latter did, as compared with the 75 lb. rail. It has been observed upon the Central Road during the winter, that wheels and rails were more apt to break the day after intense cold, than on the day itself. As a mechanic phrased it to us, "iron breaks worse, sir, when the frost is going out, than when it is going in."
FEVER & AGUE CURE.®
OR, NATURE'S INFALLIBLE SPECIFIC.
FOR
the Prevention and Cure of Intermittent and Remittent Fevers, Fever and Ague, Chilis and Fever,Dumb Ague,(General Debility, Night .Sweats, and all other forms ot disease which have a common origin in MALARIA or MIASMA. This subtle atmospheric poison which at certain seasons is unavoidably inhaled at every breath, is the same in character wherever it exists,—North, South, East or West,—and will everywhere yield to this newly discovered antidote, which is .claimed to be the SBEATHST DISCOVERY
IX
MEDICINE EVER MADE.
This specific is 90 harmless that it may be taken by persons of every age. sex or condition, and it will not substitute for one disease others still worse, as is too often the result in the treatment with Quinine, Mercury, Arsenic, and other poisonous or deleterious drugs, not a particle of any of which is admitted into this preparation.
The pioprietor distinctly claims these extraorinury results from the use of this NATURAL NTIDOTE Xp MALARIA. It will entirely protect ahy resident or traveller even in the most sickly or swampy localities, from any Ajgue, or Billious disease whatever, or any injury from constantly inhaling Malaria or Miasma.
It will instantly check the Ague in persona who have suffered for any length of time, from one day to twenty years, so that they need never have ANOTHER CHILL, by continuing its use according to directions-
It will immediately relieve all distressing results of Billious or Ague diseases, such as general debility, night sweats, &c. The patient at once begins to recover appetite and strength, and continues until a permanent and radical cure is effected.
Finally, its use will banish Fever and Ague from families, and all classes. Farmers and all laboring men by adopting it as a preventative, will be free from Ague or Billious attacksln that season of the year .vhich, while it is the most sickly, is the most visible ono to them.
One or two bottles may answer for ordinary cases, some will require more. Directions printed in German, French and Spanish, accompany each bottle.
Price One Dollar. Liberal discounts made to the trade. Trade circulars forwarded on application, and the article will be consigned on liberal terms to responsible parties in every section of the country.
