More Lives Lost!

Hie steamer Chickasaw, Capt. Brcnca and the W. B. Clifton came in collision at French Island, seventy-five miles below Louisville, on Monday night, the 26th ult., and the Chickasaw sunk upon the bar, and it is said will be a total loss. Nine of the crew were drowned, including enough passengers to make a total of some twelve or fifteen persons.

The Chickasaw had not been running a year, and was a swift and splendid steamer. She cost $28,000, and was insured for $20,000 in two Indiana and two Ohio offices.

The Prairie State, collapsed a flue on the Illinois river, at Pekin, on Sunday, April 25th, and sent many to their long homes. She was backing out from the landing, the flue of the starboard boiler collapsed, carrying death to all those on the forecastle. Some were killed instantly—others were blown into the river and drowned, and the fate of others is unknown.

The number killed and missing is set down at from twenty to twenty-five. One of the engineers, by the namo of Willson, was killed by the explosion the other was very slightly injured. The mate was blown ovorboard, but saved afterwards. The otlior sufferers were hands on board the boat, and passengers bound to California. Thoir names could not be ascertained.

They put down 15 or 20 killed, and half as many more badly scalded, STILL WORSE.—From over the great waters Wo have the following: The London Times of the 7th ult., contains the particulars of the loss of the steamer Birkenhead, Capt. Salmond, bound to the Cape of Good Hope, with reinforaement of troops, by which 454 lives were lost. She was wrecked between two and three miles from the shore of Southern Africa. The exaot spot at which the calamity happened, was Point Danger. Off this point she struck upon a reef of sunken rocks. The ship was steaming knots at the tirao.

The water was smooth and the sky serene,

but tlio speed at which the vessel was passing through the water, proved her destruction.—' Tho rock penetrated through her bottom just aft the foremast, and in twenty minutes' time there woro a fuw floating spars and a few miserable creatures clinging to them, and this was all that remained of tho Birkenhead. Of 638 persons who had left Simon's Bay in the gallant ship but a few hours before, only 184 remain to tell the tale. No less than 454 Englishmen hare come to so lamentable an end.

Just at this time, there seems to be an "epidemic" of calamities of this sort.

CtT Our neigbhor of the Journal heartily doprccates the nomination of Gen. Scott, and remarks: "For tho credit of our opponents, we would that they select some other standard bearer.— With their present affectation for military ardor, they forcibly remind us of our Hoosier Militia, on a muster day."

The same paper further remarks: "To speak of high Statesmanship, in connection with his name, is simply to tire him credit for what he never claimed, and for what the experience of his military life has necessarily removed from him. What knowledge is he presumed to possess of the great principles of constitutional li

law, and matters relating to

diplomacy?" This rich, when the reader reflects that this same paper has at its head, "For President »w 1852, Gen. Joscra LANK, of Indiana"!!!!

R/vra ArrKOFRtATfOxa.—In the Senate, on the 21st ult., Mr. GXTEB introduced a bill providing for the. improvement of the navigation of the Mississippi river and its tributaries.— This bill introduces anew principle in appropriations.

The appropriations for the several objects are very liberal, and if granted, they will do much towards removing the obstructions to the navigation of our great rivers.

JOURNAL or MA*.—A late No. of Dr. Buchchanan's excellent Journal contains the following:

The "JOCRXAL OF MAN" is sent to newspapers on condition of receiving a suitable editorial notice. As some of the papers receiving it, have cither failed to notice the JOURNAL, or failed to forward a copy containing their notice—they are respectfully reminded of the courtesy that has been apparently omitted.

We have occasionally noticed this Journal, and often read it with pleasure aud profit.-— About the 21st of June last, we inserted its advertisement for which we were to have had, we think, a large bouud volume of said Journal, or some favor of this sort nothing of the kind, however, has arrived, though we sent the Dr. a copy of our papor containing said adotrtieement.

If we have failed to notice the Journal often enough, Dr. B. has perhaps also failed a little.

RAILROAD ARRANGEMENT.—On and after Monday, May 10th, passenger trains on the Madison and Indianapolis Railroad will run as follows: Leave Madison every morning (Sundays excepted) at 7 o'clock A. M., and arrive at Indianapolis at 12 leave Indianapolis at 11J A. M., and arrive at Madison at 44 P. M.

The various railroads centreing at Indianapolis will then run trains in connection, and enable travelers to go from Madison to Indianapolis, Terre-Haute, Nobleaville, or Yorktown, in one day.

WHEELING BRIDGE.—The Lower House of Virginia have passed resolutions requesting Congress to take such constitutional measures as will prevent the removal of the Wheeling Bridge, and instructing the Attorney General of the State to ask from the Supreme Court a stay of proceedings until legislative action be had. A subsequent resolution says that in the event of the refusal of Congress and of the Court, to comply, the State will not be bound to acquiesce in the removal of the Bridge.

TRINITY CHURCH.—Trinity Church, N. Y., is the most richly endowed institution of the kind in the United States. A letter, from a gentleman in that city, says the.building was constructed at a cost of $850,000. The organ, used in the building cost $12,000 the music costs $2,000 a year the chiming of the bells alone is an item of $300. There are three clergymen who officiate, the chief of whom receives a salary of $5,000, the other two, $1,500 each.

MURDER.—The Mt. Vernon Advocate, says that Wm. Chancellor, of Posey county, Ind., was shot dead recently, while playing the violin at asocial party. One Gibbs, who is charged with the perpetration of the diabolical act, has fled. A feud had existed between the par ties, for some time, and on the evening the deed was committed. Gibbs approached the house and fired at his enemy through an ap erture in the walls, killing him instantly.

LARGE DEFALCATION.—The investigation in regard to the recent defalcation in the Suffolk Bank, Boston, has been gone through with by those who were intrusted with it.

How our Terre-Haute neighbor swells—compares his one-horse Wabash town to our city on the great Ohio river!—Mad. Courier.

We presume we "swell" as little as any editor in the State, for we have not been in the habit of calling Terre-Haute a city, as we consider no town a city under ten thousand inhabitants, and in this view, the orator hero was right when he spoke of Madison-mfle. The old hero was rather severe on Madison editors, though he intended nothing, whatever. But, speaking of swelling, reminds us of the editor near the meanderings of crooked creek, who seems to think there is nothing good outside of his city. Since the singing in the pork-house, we thought we should hear less of this braggadocio but our friend of the Courier wont be still until somebody chisels him again, which we should deprecate exceedingly. How many martin-boxes go up in Madisonville this season, eh?

The editor of the Terre-Haute Journal defines an "old Fogy" to be a Democrat "who without a spark of manliness, manages to keep his name in the party newspapers, and for a long time occupies a high place in the political synagogue, claiming as"his share the spoils and plunder of office." According to the Democratic Review, Gen. Cass is the embodiment of Old Fogyism, therefore, the above portrait is drawn for Gen. Cass, and our cotemporary of the Journal, who has heretofore boldly stood up against "interpolating the Democratic creed, takes his place in the ranks of "Young America," and is for all the wild schemes of "progress" that may be concerted by that branch of "modern Democracy." Our neighbor went over very easily and quietly, and we presume knew what he was about.— Fin. Oct.

Hit 'em again, Billy. They have not got many friends, any way.

OaiatN OK THE MAMMOTH CAVE OF KENTUCKY. —During the interchanging of a few thoughts in relation to the origin of those-cavities in the earth, by a company of anxious inquirers, the other day, a young wit, of Hoosier birth, was asked his opinion as to the origin of the Mammoth Cave. The little fellow (as grave as a Roman philosopher,) quickly replied that "it was dug by Daniel Boone, for the purpose of hiding in from the Ingins.'!" The crowd immediately dispersed, and the little fellow, when last seen, was making some awful strides for Congress. Speed his onward flight, all ye lovers of science!

PROFITS OF AUTHORSHIP.—The papers state that Dickens, the English novelist, enjoys an income of one hundred thousand dollars per annum from the sale of his different works. Tt is estimated that "Bleak House" alone will yield him five thousand dollars per month.

A bill establishing a court of the above name, will probably pass Lhe Legislature We understand from Mr. Hudson, who visited home lastSaturdy and Sunday, that Vigo will be a district by itself. Our county will then electa judge for the Court in October next, whose salary will be $600. The Brookville American describes the powers of this court as follows "It will liave exclusive original probatejurisdiction with apoellate probate jurisdiction to the Circuit or Supreme Court. The civil jurisdiction is concurrent with that of Justices and of the Circuit Courts being limited to sums not less than $50. and on the other hand, to sums of not more than $1,000, in actions on contracts. It has also a limited jurisdiction in action for torts. The court is always open as an examining court for criminal charges, and has jurisdiction of all crimes below the grade of felony, and of felonies, when the accused desires a speedy trial. It will set four times a year in each county, and its business will be transacted by the Clerk of the Circuit Court. We believe it acts on criminal cases without the intervention of a Grand Jury.

The bill has passed the House, was amended in the Senate, and now awaits the concurrence of that body.

Mr. BROWNING, from Fleming counter, Ky., is a regularly bred druggist, having been raised to the business, and engaged in it for several years past. Dr. WALL, late of Harrison county, Ely., knows all about medicine, and can precribe, sell, and administer just what the purchaser or patient wishes, or ought to have and taking the firm separately or together, they will always be ready to alleviate or cure all curable human ailments. Call in, and look through.

ID* Lucius Rrcs, at the Buck Eye Cash StoTe, advertises his goods in another place.— The stock is not yet all opened, but it is sufficiently inviting, to captivate the most fastidious, or closest purchaser. In many items in the house furnishing line, his store is A, No. 1.

CLOTHING.—DAVID H. ARNOLD is now ready to clothe the ragged in, a handsome manner, at the very lowest rates. He takes back every article, if not as represented. Who could ask more than that Reader, he would like to sell you a satisfactory satin vest.

CLOTHING AND HATS. Messrs. STRAUS FC ISAACS are receiving their spring and summer stock, and they have always done business on favorable terms. They can fit out a gentleman cap-a-pie, so that he would hardly know himself, or miss the small change that was necessary to accomplish so much. Their store is remarkably handy to drop into.

Terre-Haute is fast becoming the depot of heavy stocks of goods, designed for wholesaling, which is a great inducement to country merchants to visit this pi ace, and examine goods and prices. Such an inducement is now held out by the above firm, which cannot fail to please all who desire to purchase.

Aaron is not one of your"unapproachables." The humblest man in the land can accost him at any«and all times, and receive prompt attention The stiff formalities of other men belong not to him, and as we know he will be appreciated by the sovereigns, and make them the best officer they can have for the place he aspires to, we set down his election as one of the events that the future is about to develope.
