4-w) it 0en tane'j Mileage. Although Gen. Laro receives ten thoutand dollar* as his mileage fees, as the delegate from Oregon, tho Terre-Haute Journal is of the opinion that he receives no more than he is "justly entitled to by law." We confess to the lava, but not to the justice. Ail of this mileage business is wrong nnd unequal, and ought to be righted and equalized, and as tho democratic party have a large majority in both branches of Congress, if they loved economy and justice, as much as they preach it, they would at onco set about doing thoir duly herein. But they will not do it, that is very certain, and they should, of course, be held accountable.

The Journal charges that Messrs. Parlcor and Brenton votod for the $10,000. This may be so. We. have not seen the yeas and nays, but doubtless tho other oight members from Indiana did the same thing, among whom is Mr. DAVIS, tho member from this district. Tlie whigs iu Congress would not have been in tho way in tho least, if tho dominant party had wished to bring down Gen. Lane's mileage.— This, the Journal well knows, and the editor ought to frankly acknowledge, that the odium, if auy, must remain upon tho party that could have done right, but wouldn't, a* wo all know they had, and still have, all the power iu their hands.

We venturo to predict, that if the whigs ever have tho satoo power in Congross, now exercised by tho other party, they will mako a radical change and a reduction in the mileage foos of tho mombors. There is no propriety, no justice, in Gen. Lane's making $9,000 annually, over and above his neoessary traveliug expenses from Oregon to Washington City.— Just think of this fortune made in ono trip to Washington! Will the Journal reflect upon the amount, and still dofund it?

Tho law organising the Territory as we understand, gave tho Delegate $2,500 for salary, and Mr. Parker, we think, was willing to increase that amount to $5,000 instead of making $10,000 mileage. This, we think, was the course of Mr. P.

IN TJIK Ft*U EAELT.—We notice that A. P. WittAUD, tho democratic candidate for Lieut. Governor, is making speeches in the Southorn part of tho State. WM.LARD is not only ono of tho bost debaters in tho State, but an excellent judge of good drink.— Laf, Journal.

We hoar that Willard took tho broad ground, recently in a speech at Madison, that his course •was right in relation to the Georgia Land swindle, saying that if he had any ambition to go to the Legislature again it was that he might give the same vote again So ho intends to brave this matter out. Willard and Governor Wright will take pains not to meet on tho same •turop, as they might make a "bust up" in the party.

We request a meeting at the "carpenter shop" to reconcile those small discrepancies, to which "Saranac" and his publishers, and Mr. Buskirk of the Reporter, are respectfully invited, It will not do for one portion of the party to preach "law and order," and another to advocate the code of Judge Lynch! We do not want our opponents to pick up all the votes, by an advocacy of one thing in one county, and a different thing in another.

LAND WARRANTS A8SI3NABLK.—The eastorn mail of Thursday last, brought us the news of the passage of this law, which will be found in another place. The/o7V» for assignments will be fixed by Mr. Butterfield, Comr. of the General Land Office, and may be looked for in a short time.

Those wishing to sell and give a title now, perhaps, would not be very far wrong by following the form laid down for the assignment of Mexican Warrants. So we think.

NKW ORLEANS, March 16.

The steamer Louisiana has arrived at the Balize from the Rio Grande, with later advices from Northern Mexico. The Picayune has a despatch announcing the capture of General Carvaial by General Ilarney who had brought him to Brownsville. He was found almost entirely deserted by his troops, who had dispersed in every direction. Affairs in Mexico had become somewhat more settled.,

NEW8 FBOM WASHINGTONTI'!: 'i Corrosponloaoa of tlie Terre-Haute Journal.

WASHINGTON, March 17, 1862.

The debates in the House for the past week, may be regarded as ominous of evil to the Democratic party, and all good Democrats should unite in frowning down the intolerant spirit which has been rioting for the past fort-night. The House appears to have forgotten its legitimate functions and because the supporters of a particular Presidential candidate, has been sufficiently indiscreet to indulge iu some severe and injudicious language respecting the competitors of their favorites—our Hall of Representatives, has, for the time being, been converted into a mere political cauzns, doing the duties in advance of the National Nominating Convention, which is soon to assemble in Baltimore. Our democratic Congressmen, instead of meeting manfully and effectually, as they could have done, the bold challenge of the organ of the administration, and of arraigning some of the administrative acts of those now in power, have been frittering away their strength in making war upon each other, in canvassing the merits of their respective favorites for the Presidency, and in depreciating those of their rivals while it is evident to the most stupid spectator, that if the debate continues, the party itself will go the way of the celebixitcd K'Ukcnny cats. 0^7" Rather a sad picture! We suppose the people will at once set about turning out such a shameless set of democrats, and n«ver elect just such another set. It is right they should. 1

0^7" Gen. Butler of ICy. would like to be a candidate for the Presidency, and of course, would especially like to have the support of the Kentucky locofoco press.— This, the Louisville Democrat was unwilling to give, and hence. Gen. B. and four of his friends, have "stopped the paper." Prof. Ilarney will have to stop business, we fear or fight it out with the barn-burn-ing General, and his aids-de-camp.

ST. PJLCL, Jn«xisoT.I, MARCH^I, 1853.

FrieT$ Ddnmidson: I have now been here nearly six months, and consequently have had a tolerably good opportunity of seeing, and knowing considerably about this country. I had so many requests to write to my friends there, that I thought it would be the best way to do so through your paper. This I have done from time to time, until I thought I had gone over nearly all the ground, that would be interesting. But I find I have not satisfied tlie Hoosiers yet and I believe there is no such a thing as satisfying them. With your permission, I will now try to give them as correct an account of the country as I can, in answer to the numerous inquiries, which I am continually receiving,

In the first place, there is no doubt of the

0f tj,e

country—no chills and fever—

no malignant or fatal diseases, of which I have heard—no rain in the winter consequently butlittle mud or wet feet—as a matter of course, few bad colds, or diseases of the lungs. The climate, though far north, and the thermomoter indicating an intense degree of cold, is still one of the most pleasant I have ever seen in winter—very few extremely cold days—few sudden changes in the weather—and this winter, but little snow, not enough for good sleighing all the time.

In the second place, the country is well adapted to farming purposes, of all kind, nearly. Wheat, rye, oats, potatoes and turnips, grow hare, when properly cultivated, much better and more abundantly, than in Indiaua and corn, I think, equally as well. All kinds of garden vegetables do as well as they do there. Fruit trees have not yet been hero long enough to bear but they grow as rapidly as in any country I over noticed.

The land is superior, I think, to the lands of old Vigo, in fact it greatly resembles Fort Harrison Prairie—timber rather scarce near town —many beautiful groves and clear lakes, filled with the finest fish, which are caught in great abundance. '**9*

There are many beautiful situations not taken up yet, within ten miles of St. Paul, which

O" Strange developments are being made at Codington in clairvoyance. The Friend of the 3Tth, states that a medium mesmerized, told that Geo. Whipple was murdered at Covington thirty-two years ago, by Wm. Altaff nnd John Sinclair, who obtained from Whipple $13,000. As the statement cannot bo disproved, of course, it must go for tho truth.

D" John Coburn is tho whig candidate Marion county, to fill the place of Governor McCarty—the recently resigned Stale Senator. Levi L. Todd, of the other side, proposes to contest the race with Coburn.

RESIGNED.—From ill-health, John H. Bur nam, Esq., has resigned his office, as one of the Magistrates of this township. The election to fill the vacancy takes place on Monday, the 19th of April. We believe Esq. McFadden is scarcely yet able to attend, to the duties of his office.
