ESPECIAL NOTICE. To our Friends, if we have any. We wish to leave for Cincinnati in a few days, with the view of making considerable addition* to our office, in the way of type, fixtures. &c., and we beg those indebted to us to bring or send us all the money they can spare before we leave, as without that article, it were useless to go.

O* All who can do so, will confer a KLESSIRO uroN os, by attending to this forthwith.

Tcrrc-IIauteand Riclnuoud Railroad. After running several trial lines, and making tbe closest estimates of the cost, Utility and public convenience, on Monday morning last, the Engineers connected with our railroad enst, commenced the permanent location of thnt part of the line lying between this point and Greencadllo.— We have understood thnt the lino will commcnce near the Nalionnl Road House, about one hundred yard* east of the cnnal, nnd north of the road, proceed eostwardly near William foul's place, thence up the valley of Lost Creek, crossing south of the National Road in the neighborhood of Wilson's, and rccrossing at Croyc'a Creek, and so on to Ureencastlc. This line runs through a fine forming district, and one that affords the finest stone coal of the country, (we hear that Cannel coal is also ou the route,) and also the best limestone quarries, and timber for building purposes.

When finished, the road will add untold wealth to the country through which it passes, and we sgain ask our citizens here, and those along the line, to romenrber that subscriptions of stock aro •till needed—that their influence is required to adJ to its rapid progress, and that now, even the smallest means that can be devoted to the noble enterpriza should not be withheld. I.et all remember that the greatest works of art, the mo*t beneficial to the world, its commerce and manufactures, have arisen from small beginnings, and that a* the vast ocean ia composed of drops, so every acqusition of means however small, will add to a common fund Ifll even mountains may lie removed and waste deserts reclaimed and mado to add to the wealth and happiness of a Slate. Let •very one, however humole, appropriate what he can, and he will advance his own interests, and those that come after him, as well as promote the general good of the countty.

Wo took an active interest in the incipient step* towards procuring this railroad—we printed and circulated the earlieat petitions that were used here—procured and forwarded the names to the Legislature just previous to its adjournment, which obtained the charter, and we have watched its progress in other hands with the deepest solicitude. The skies are now bright, and we have every confidence that the Board of Directors and their unflagging President will bring the work to a full fruition of the hopes of its iiiends. Feeling

it* importance to u* as people, and knowing its

highly beneficial tendency to the great mas* of our citixens, we shall not fail upon all projer occasions, to corampin) it to their cherishing influence—to make it the object of a special regatd, until the steam car, along with tho canal boat, •hall be a* common here as the farmer* wagon.

ID" Wo hope we shall le cxcosed for reminding the prescul stockholders, that a call of four dollar* per share payable the 1st ol thi* month, now pa*t, haa been ordered by the Director* for •everal week*, and it i* very essential that promptness should be manifested herein. Will gentlemen please hear in mind, the necessity of discharging their respective calls at their my earliest couveuiaucc!

The War is over.

President Polk haa issued hi* proclamation declaring peace with Mexico—the treaty ha* been returned to Washington ratified, and for the pre*ent at least, we have peace on paper. Most every ascending boat from New Orleans contains a remnant of a reluming tegimenl, coming home aa much dead a* a live—some with hardly enough flesh on their bones to contain a living spirit, while sickness aud destitution with others make them indifferent about living or dying. What a change is here. They went away full of spirit, courage and hope— they return broken down, dispirited and careless of everything save a single wish to die at home at last. In going away, a large steamer could not carry a regiment—in returning, a small water craft affords room for two regiment*, and notwithstanding this reduction, great many of our soldiers never went into a battle. The Ten liesww regiment went out eleven hundred strong, and returns with a little more than ihtee hundred living men! most of whom •re almost hclplesa. Our own regiments have also suffered largely, and many of litem are reduced to skeletons. But such is war. W* hope for the future we may ever manage to avoid its

blighting ywiseqoeocea. Wc hope we may ever have ruler* who can protect and JsfrnJ ©or rights without resorting l«» the u*c of gunpewdc, broadswords ol l»ayoucl».

Affairs In Frtflicc.

accounts from tbe old world, ite of in alarming character, and portend* the worst to tbe friends nl republicanism in France. The capital of that empire ha« been drenched in human blood, and the day* of the Reign of Terror onder Danton, Marat and Robespierre have returned to astonish the cWil'ted world. All former outbreak* in Pari*—the Massacre of St. Bartholomew—the revolution which rafted in the elevation of Bonaparte to the head of the empire—the three day* of 1830. which overthrew Charles X—all bare been exceeded in atrocity and carnage by the late riot*, in which even females vied with the "sterner eex" in deeds of daring and cruelty. We had hoped (a« we Hill hope) that enough patriots would be found in France, to carry her triumphantly through her great atruggle for liberty freedom of person, the press, and opinion, and to have established equal and republican laws for forty million ofsouls, but with such shocks as have lately happened, nothing but superhuman firmness and the sternest integrity on the part of those in power, can prevent a return to monarchy or absolute despotism. Who can think of the scene without shuddering, that in the midst of one of the most refined and enlightened cities of the world—the very home of chivalry battlesensued for four days in succession, in which ten thousand were slain, and twenty-Jive thousand wounded Yet such is the sad history. Flags inscribed •'Dupain, ou la mart" (bread or death) show that extreme poverty was one of the causes of the afflicting events, and we hope that such scenes from such causes may never again vi*it the earih.

See first page of Uvday's paper for full accounts of the sad details.

Public Debt.

In as much as the public debt of the United Ststes was terminated under the administration of Gen. Jackson, his partisans have ever been in the habit or claiming it as a part of the policy of his reign, to whom the entirecredit should be given. Lately, we find this brought up again by Mr. Polk, who, in his lute peace message, claims that the payment of this ponderous public debt, after bring delayed for twenty years, "was only accomplished by the stem will and uubending policy

of President Jackson." Wo certainly bjiye no objection that the friends of the deported statesman, should give him every honor to which he is properly entitled, but in doing this, they should give the whole truth, let it affcct whom it might. If we arc not deceived, the policy of tho administration of Mr. Monroe liquidated our public debt in the year 1836, for in 1817, while Mr. Monroe was President,an act was passed setting apart ten millions of dollars per annum for twenty years, as a sinking fund, to be applied exclusively to the payment of the debt created by the war wilh Great Britain, &c. This poliry wos carried out by all the succeeding Presidents, for no one wished to disturb it, and in 1836, while Gen. Jackson was President, the public debt of the United State* wos wholly paid.— Then is it proper to claim this credit for the peculiar policy of Gen. Jackson, when it originated under Mr. Monroe, passed through his administration and that of J. Q. Adams, and ended with Gen. Jackson's, mi rely because he did not disturb the previous wUely mado arrangement?

Mr. Polk ought not to expect the country to take assertion for history, for all can see that Gen. Jackson's policy hod about as much to. do wilh liquidating our public debt a* Adam'* did, aud neither half a* much as Munroc's.

Hard Treatment.

Wm. Irvin, Colonel of the 2d Regiment of Ohio Volunteors, Wm. H. Link, Major, together with nine Cnptains and twelve Lieutenants, have published a strong protest in the New Orleans papers, against the treatment they have there received from the government that sent them abroad to fight its battles. The protest is addressed to Maj. Geu. Wm. O. Butler, who seems to have taken no notice of it as far as wc have seen. The protest says:

••We have always thought, and still do think, that according to the term* of our eulixtment, that after the war i* ended and peace made, the moment our feet touch American soil, that moment wo have a right to demand our discharge from service. Furthermore, our men are naked, many of them without cools, stockings, or shoes, or a change of linen, and all without money. Their situation is truly a hard one. They expected at this point to be discharged, and wilh the money they should receive as mileage, to clothe and transport themselves to their several homes.

A* it is, they arc obliged to go in their old and worn out uniform which they brought from home, back to their friends. Twice whilst in the service, application wos made at the cily of Mexico, for clothing, and twice refused.

Regarding the order os unjust and illegal, detaining us in the servico after peace is mado, we must, therefore, in view of these considerations, respectfully protest against it and at the same time, we must declare, that although wo do not wish to show a mutinous spirit, that if wc were

able to disband ourselves nnd reach eur homes, we

without money, and we have not the means of supplying them. Our hands, are therefore, tied, aud wc must obey the order,but at the same time we do remonstrate against it, ss illegal and unjust, an arbitrary exercise of power which the necessities of the soldier alone compel him to obey.

ICT" Rev. Edward R. Ames has been elected to the Presidency ol the Indiana Anbury University, at Greencastle, in place of M. Simpson, D. D., who pocs to Cincinnati to take charge of the Christian Advocate, and Methodist Episcopal Book concern, al that place, we believe. Mr. Ames will have no spare hours il he expects to fill the •t a lion to which he is elevated, with the same imperishable honor and credit, as did his predecessor, and at the same lime vit-ji ail lhe prominent places of the State, and dispense life and light and the glowing eloquence which electrified the many congregation* aJdreesed by President Simpson, during his sojourn al Greencastle. He will certainly have to occupy every moment of his time properly, to gain as high and enviable a standing at the head ol lhe University, as every one accorded to lhe late PrvcideuL

POK THK WABASH EXPRESS. SUNSET REFLECTIONS. As cable oifht, wilh all her darkling irsin Of clouds and noxiou* chills and moaning blasts. Frown* moodily on nature's placid breast While smiling flowers contract their tenser leave*, And shrink Instinctive from her cold embraca— When sparkling waters cbanre their merry tones. And in low murmurs mourn the lapse of day— When wood law) songsters long have ceased to pour Aerial tnotic on the balmy air, JSJ, Had silent seek seme verdant conch of mom, Or hide their *ilken plumage 'neath the fold* Of sylvan tapestry—when tbe fair earth Hath lost her gladneas and is veiled in gloom, And dewy tesra thick cluster on her locks: So o'er my cheerless heart, forlorn and sad, With many a brooding care and wasting grief, Dread Melancholy hovers. The spirits that once Brought consolation in their kindly tones, And with the promptings of unchanging love, Poured healing oil into the bleeding wounds Of memory, or bound the breaking heart 'With sympathetic kindness, now no more

Breathe solace for my woe my soul is faint, And vainly seeks o'er earth's unblest expanso For rest—a refuge from the grievous Ills That weigh oppressive as It struggles on.

The sun whote glory wakes to life and love The herd that throngs around me, hath no joy For me. The xephyr roughly strikes my brow There is no music in the waving wood, None in the fall of water—for the harp Within the breast, without whose answering notes The sweetest songs of nature are but harsh Repulsive sounds, is voiceless and unstrung.

I could without a sigh or passing tear Bid to the world's unsatisfying jys A Ions,a last adieu: and cheerfbt meet The welcome herald who should summon forth This smitten spirit to its final doom. The cypress offers to my drooping eye The vision of repose—a sweeter rest Than couch of cygnet or the eider down Of rpgal ease and luxury can boast For 'neath its dark impending branches rests The only heart whose love outlived the day, And with the rising morn remained the same.

Sad memory by whose refracted light Upon the broken mirror of the heart Distorted and commingled rays of love Departing, ami the brooding shades of sorrow In strange confusion blended, pjay around The gathering darkness of the grave's oblivionLike sunset with its soinbre pencil painting The dying changes ou the face of day.

Tho grave! from its impenetrable breast When shall its dreaded secrets be brought forth 1 When may the silent inmate find a voice To tell the mystery of mysteries To all tho tearful, eager listeners That bend upon its awful brink oh when Will it be morning in the grave 1 and through The dreadful depth of its Lethean gloom The light of Heaven beam on the sleeper there When will tho heartless spoiler of our joys, Grown weary of his ancient cruelty, Relent, and give us back our loved, our own 1 Shall the dank clod forever press the heart In fearful stillness, that but yesterday Throbbed wilh the sensibilities of love 1 Shall the cold marble in its mockery

Of life, forever tell its tragic tale In blank monotony—"shelived, she died And the sweet voice, whose tones do traverse still The echoing chambers of this empty heart, Bo heard no more

Hope! thou art stronger now

Than Death—though Death be strong, and mortal arm Must wither at his touch though in his might He break the three-fold cord, and simp the bond That seemed indissoluble and from eyes Beaming with joy, wring forth the bitter tear, And from the calmness of the tranquil breast Extort the sudden wailing of despair. Hope! thou art stronger now—for Ho who once Himself lay victim to the great Destroyer Hath wrought a pathway from the tomb, and loads His own in triumph by that shining way.

WELCOME TO VOLUNTEKR*.—On the 19th instant, Cincinnati turned out handsomely to welcome from the wars the Ohio Volunteers—they were marched through the streets—greeted wilh bouquets from ladies and shouts from gentlemen —dined—toasted—spccchified, «kc., &c. As Indiana has also furnished much of the war malerial, in the shape of men, from a Brigadier General through all the gradations of Colonels, Captains, Lieutenants, and vast quantities of triggerpullers, swordsmen, dcc., we suggest the propriety of giving our soldiers a proper reception here, on their return to this county. What say those who are always ready to get up and carry out the "handsome thing" when any public affair is to come off 1 Though we think the war was unnecessary and could have been avoided without any detriment to national honor, we are always ready to give proper credit and respect to those who answer to their country's call, whether tbe President maybe right or otherwise. We say, "give our soldiers a hearty welcome home."

ID" We notice from our western exchanges, that in some places in Missouri, the democracy hove organized private weekly meetings till after the Presidential election, in which their doings are lo be entirely secret, known only lo the faithful. A whig paper calls them the "air-tight associationsSuch a thing coming from the other side of tbe house, would cause universal democratic horror, and a pious shudder at the horrid conclaves engaged in it.

DAJSCIKO WALTZIHG, &C.—Mons. De Grand Val, from La Belle France, has had a school for the attainment of these graceful and healthy exercises, in this place for some weeks, and we believe he has succeeded in imparting a thorough knowledge of the polite accomplishment to every scholar. The young, who in after life expect to mingle much wilh society, ought not to miss this opportunity of moking themselves welcome visitors in any circle, for indeed without that ease and affability, that mnnly grace, propriety of demeanor and gentlemanly bearing which are taught in polite schools, (and taught at early ages to be retained) none can expect to find themselves agreeable companions to others, or even at all pleasurable to themselves. Accomplished ladies and gentlemen are prized in all countries, and are always at home in all situations in life in the palace or cottage. M. De Grand Val can learn you that valuable art—his room is at the Town Hall.

The government of this far off territory has been lhe subject of deep consideration in the Senate for some time. Lately, upon the suggestion of Mr. Clayton, the whole matter was referred to a committee, half from the north and half from the south —half whigs—half locos. This committee consists of Messrs. Clayton, Bright. Calhoun, Dickinson, Phelps, Atchison, Uoderwood and Clark, and has been complivtented as having every element of good, bad and indifferent in it!

On the 19th inst., Mr. Clayton, chairman, presented lo the Senate an unanimous report upon the subject, of the character of which we are not yet advised—we apprehend it is the same as the Missouri compromise.

From tlie Plains.

The arrival of lhe Wyandotte late yesterdnv afternoon, puts us in possession of the Weston Herald of tbe 15th inst. From it we clip lhe following communication, which contains all the information of interest from the Plains: Lt. Royall attacked by Eight Hundred Indians Twenty-three Indians killed.
