DEPARTED THIS LIFE

Sndrfrnlv. on Thursday l»«t. *t 5 o'clock. P. M.. at thr TMttlener of Jimva H. (her brother-in-|,ic.) Miss SALLY A$S B. |)ANALUSON, aged about year*. J.

The dcceascd was the Wcond daughter of our brother, John Danaldson',

of Flemiiigsbijrg,

Ky., and was on a visit to her sister iu this plan*, durihg the past winter. She had enjoyed generally, good health, up to the time of the very sudden attack which terminated her life, though the previous evening, she complained of sonic pain in the shoulder and a singular feeling about the hcArt, which, however, cxcited no particular apprehension of serious sickness. At the time of the attack, she was preparing to go out for the evening, and was arranging her toilet for that purpose she fell suddenly to the floor, and ceased to breathe in 20 or 30 minutes! Several physicians were soon present mustard plasters and strong brandy were administered without the least effect. The patient had neither feeling nor taste, and said she "must soon die." She was afterwards immersed in a warm bath, which did no good, whatever. The physicians present said the cause of death must have been from a rupture of the heart, or of some large blood vessel near the heart. The shock was overpowering with the household,and neighboring families, among whom the deceased had many warm and intimate friends, who assembled around the dying bed to offer aBMBtance.

The funeral solemnities took place froth Rev. M. A. Jewell's Church, at 10 o'clock on Sabbath last, from the text in Kcclcsiastes, 8th chapter, verse 8th: "There is no man that hath power over the spirit to retain the spirit neither hath he power in the day of death: and there is no discharge in that war"—

The following notices we take from our noighboring papers of this place: Dn:i, atlhe residence of her brother-in-law in this city, (.Iamlh H. Turner,) on yesterday (Thursday) afternoon, very suddenly, of disease of the heart, Miss SALLIK DANALDSON.

In the very midst of preparation for the social circle of which she was a pride and ornament, and without any apparent premonition by disease, did Death lay hold of this fair victim. So sudden a decease has seldom, if over, occurred in our place before. Not yet can we altogether realize that the Destroyer has been at work among us. With the immediate friends of the departed, it must have "Kecmcd the nouml of nutiinjr wings, (So awlft their norrow came."

We knew the deceased Well. She occupied an enviable position iu society. During her stay iu Terre-Haute she had by her many virtues, hor excellencies and graces of character, endeared herself to all who know her. She has been snatched away from happy associations, and, at a time, when the future Was opening more brightly tliau ever upon hot.— Terre-Haute Journal.

ScnoKN Pkath.—Our citizens were greatly startled on Thursday afternoon last, at the announcement of the sudden death of Jliss Salme Danamison, sister of Mrs. ,J. H. Turner, with whom she wm living. The deceased was apparently in usual health, when, about the middte of the afternoon, she was fixing her toilet, preparatory to a*visit among frieuits, alio fell suddenly to the floor. Hor sister tvlio as present, supposed her affectcd simply With fainting. A physician was immediately called iu—but too late. Sho expired in a fetf minutes, with what was supposed, soniediseasu of the heart.

The deceased wjis daughter of Ufr. .John Danaldson, formerly of this place and uieCe •if D. S. Danaldson, of tho Express. She was the adtuirod and highly respected of a large circle of devoted relatives, friends and acquaintance, who by this mysterious dispensation of Providence* have to mourn the loss of one who can appear no more in their agreeable nnd social circles.—Terre-Haute Courier.

Si nnEN Death.—A very sudden and heartrending death occurred in this city Thursday afternoon. Miss Sa{,lik Daxaldson*, a relative of D. S. Danaldson, editor of tho Expross, while performing toilet duties, in her usual health, suddenly swooned away and immediately expired. ^liss Danaldson was the daughter of John Danaldson* Esq., formerly of this city, now residing in Kentucky. Wo truly sympathise with her friends and relatives in ho distressing an affliction.

Thus, without premonition or previous illness, in tho full vigor of youth and apparent health, surrounded by all that, could maKclife desirable, and with the prospect of 3'ears of happiness befotv her, passed away one of our loveliest and most respected young ladies.— How true it is that there is but a breath of air, and a beat of tho heart, between this world and tho next.—Prairie City.

SET The new Liquor Law of Indiana is published on our first page. It is not the "Maine law," but we understood at Indianapolis that it pleased both sides of the question, which is something singular. As it stands, we take it that it closes selling entirely, until the. next April election, except with those who may already have a county license, which license must run out, we suppose, under the terms and conditions of the old law. We are not very sure of this, however. After the election, if a majority of votes polled, says "no liccnse, that closes retail sales for the ensuing year if a majority of votes polled says "license" then a license tcitMout charge, may be had until the next election, the retailer to give a heavy bond, on which he is liable for all injuries that may rrsult fnm his business. Tickets not marked "for"or "agaiu*!-." are not counted either way.

Town authorities, we take it, will make new laws upon this subject in accordance with the provisions of the new law, "In no case, howover, can they charge for a liquor license. See the Act.

REVOLUTIONARY PARTY HTHfOARY An article has been translated from the New Yorker Abend Zeitung, by some one at Pittsburgh, in which an exciting account is given of the preparations and the preventions adopted by the two contending parties in Italy and Hungary. It is said the writer has every facility of knowing what he writes, and may be relied upon:

The organization of the Revolutionary Party in Hungary and Italy is indeed the most fearful, most complete, and in every respect best arranged conspiracy that the world has iw known. The fact that such an organization does exi»t, extending its ramifications over so vast a territory, standing in the most intimate communication with every separate part of the great whole, and that it has gone on so long, under the verjr eyes of so watchful a Government, without being discovered, cannot fail to awaken astonishment. This circumstance, alone, proves what intellectual power is ptwu'ssed by its leaders. That it docs really exint in shown by the arrests of emissaries taking place almost every week, in regular succession, and the disclosure pf petty portions of the great plot.

In Italy, these things, and the executions which follow them are instantly known, but in Austria and Hungary, the silence of the churchyard rest* over aft that happens^ Scarcely can one hear, by chance, of the shooting of a robber, without thinking that this "robber" perhaps belonged to the noblest families of Hungary, and that his offence was of a nature very different from what the Austrian oppressors alleged. One need only travel through the country to become convinced from the measures taken bv the Government, of the presence of a vast and deeply laid organization. Arrests are constant, a man is, in the night time, snatched away from the bopom of his family, no one knows whatfor—and dragged to prison, frothing more is heard of him! The prisoners are forced, by torture, to confess what they know, and are then shot in the prison yard or flung into dungeons where tbev rot, without a word more ever being heard of them. The spy system has been carried to a height that would seem incredible to any stranger. ^No one dare venture to speak of forbidden things, even in his own house before servants, there is no conversation at all.

No Hungarian speaks to a stranger in public he must avoid nim as he would the plague. All letters sent by post are broken open, and travellers Are searched for revolutionary writings. The cities are crammed full of soldiers, and patrols tauge the streets, both day and night, two by two, with loaded carbines. During the night, guards stand at every corner, and demand the word from all who pass. No one can say or do aught but exactly what is permitted him. All this shows how intense is the fear entertained by Government. However, in the midst of all this irritation and suffering, the Hungarian people wait patiently and resignedly for the signal. Hundreds of thousands of gallant men, resolute unto death, are united in iron organizrttibn, and the whole land waits for Kossuth. No agitation is needed to prepare the nation for insurrection, but the task is to restrain it until the favorable moment has arrived, for the state of things is such that death itself were more desirable than 6uch an existence. Yet with the most implicit reliance on their great leader, do they wait for his commands. The reverence of the people for Kossuth rises to the highest of religious fanaticism.

It appears from tho following paragraph, that many hopes have been built up, in consequence of the success of the Democratic party —it has been heralded throughout Hungary as favorable to their cause. This matter Was hin ted at during tho progress of the Presidential canvass, yet many denied the substance, but were never able to get rid of the shadow! These were exciting times—"Kossuth stock" Was at par throughout the cast—the "foreign vote" was courted, and "Roorbacks," "Humbugs," and every thing for Buncomb was sought which could allure the honest and unsuspectihg voter. Wicked must that American be, who could withhold a blush, dn seeing the number of yotos counted that has been driven into the Democratic support, through the means of this "humbug!"—if such a list could bo made out. Time reveals all things, and Truth will prevail, even in the midst of defeat.

If "non-intervention" was the true policy of the Government before the election of Mr. Pierce, it still continues thesame. We wait the action of the new administration. But read

In despite of nil precautionary measures of tho government, the petiole of Hungary are perfectly well acquainted with all political events taking place beyond tlieir borders. They are accurately informed of every movement of Kossuth, who is designated among them by the name of Mr. Smith, (the incognito with which he left America.) Their hopes were bound to' the election of Mr. Pierce, for they are convinced that the real Democratic party will, in case bf a successful resolution, at once declare the lion intervention principle. The people were singularly well acquainted with tfae political relations of the tJnifred Slates and the position ofthcir prominent Statesmen. The system by which such information' reaches them is so wonderfully perfect, that tho government, which is well aware of its activity, has, hotwithstanding the thousands of spies, been unable to discover or even to embarass it. The prisons are daily filling up with the best men of Hungary, and yet this secret organization does not falter. Perhaps nothing goes farther to show tho practical talent of the great Ma gyar and the unwavering devotion of his peo pie to him.

It is said that the organization is bore complete in Italy than in Hungary, and that in the remaining provinces of Austria, things are not much safer for the Austrian masters. In Hungary all the wires converge into the hands of Kossuth, and in Italy they unite in the hands of Mozxini, and both these leaders are acting with a common understanding.

This contest is anticipated to be a desperate one, and when commenced will be entered into with a determination, on the part of the followers of Kossuth, to gain their cause or suffer martyrdom—"death or victory," will give to each an iron nerve, which trill not be easily overcome. We would like to see Hungary's wonted freedom restored, and her people happy and contented to this end alone, may all things tend, without drawing into the vortex of the pending roptnre, any of those not immediately under tire influence of the pressure.:

Tus iNAtGfRAi.—A gentleman from Washington, who heard the address, reports to the Baltimore Patriot, that it was delivered in a free, off-hand manner, with great action ami emphasis, without any reference at all to manuscript or notes, in a clear and eloquent voicc.Or. as one of his political admirers expressed it—"he is the greatest stump orator that 1 ever heard." All agree that the extemporaneous delivery was very fine, and well calculated for

having ones p*ssed through a negro's system, becomes useless as a preventive to the white face. So says the Madison Banner.

.. Death of a Strang®*-

William Hunt, an Englishman, who has been in the United States for about three years, died on Wednesday last, in this place, at the tavern of Mr. J. G. Adams. He is supposed to be from Castor Bean Mills Yarmouth,Norfolk, England, and that he lias a half brother residing in Detroit, Michigan, by the name of John Hatcher. The deceased had started in the stage through Illinois, and the stage stuck in the mud, and in trying to extricate it, he burst a vessel in the chest, came back to this place, lived a few days, and died suddenly in his chair. This notice is published to give friends or relatives an opportunity to look after the effects of the deceased. A trunk of clothing and books are in the possession of Mr. Adams.— There is also a silver watch at a shop repairing. belonging to the deceased. Mr. H. was a miller, and came here for employment, but was not emplo3'ed. He was about 50 years old and was quite intelligent. egt em

Railroad Record.—We have received the first number of this new weekly publication just commenced in Cincinnati, by Messrs. J. A. AU. P. James, and edited by Mr. E. D. Mansfield. To those interested In railroads, and every thing touching or in relation to them, judging from the first issue, we would say the ReCbrd is an invaluable text-book. It is a quarto form and is sent weekly for $3, in advance. It is well gotten up, in every respect.

The first huraber contains an interesting article upon the subject of "the Valley of the Mississippi," in which, the Valley its estimated to be 2,000 miles east and west, and 1,500 mijes north and south, containing a surface of near three millions of square milts! It is also stated that this immense valley (which is the best and richcst in the world,) contained a population of 100,000 in 1790 in 1810,1,000,000 in 1830,3,000,000 and in 1850,8,000,000, or"onethird tlic population of the United States."

Tho Record quotes the Terre-Haute and Richmond Railroad Bonds (market value) at 11 per ct. premium! This places the road No. 9—there being only eight other roads bearing a higher rate of premium. The Galena and Chicago Union road is the highest—24 per Ceht. yet the bonds of this road bear 10 per ct. interest, and the Terre-Haute only 7 per ct. which, perhaps, more than makesihe difference in'premium. j'

A Forger Arrested.—The New York Express says, a short time ago, John G. Nicholson, one of the parties implicated in the burning of the Martha Washington, was arrested, and on searching his trunk, papers were found which led to the arrest of Geo. Gage, who was supposed to be an accomplice of Nicholson.— Gage was the individual who presented the two forged checks on the Bank of the Ohio Life Insurance Company, and drew the amount iu gold coin. One check was for "$7,300, and purported to have been made by S. Davis, Jr. fc Co., and draWh upon the Mechanics' and Traders' Bank of Cincinnati the other was for $7,500, and purported to have been made by Evans & Smith, and dr^wn on the firm of Ellis »fe Morton, Brokers, Cincinnati."

Mr. Geo. Robinson, of Cintinnati, (one of the tellers who paid the checks,) was sent for, who testified that Gage was the persoti who presented these checks and drew the money. The defendant contends that he was not out of the city, during the month of December last— (the checks having been presented for payment on the 14th.) Gage is in jail awaiting an investigation of the matter, and if implicated, will be sent to Cincinnati for a final uS hearing.

Connecticut Whig Ticket.—The Whigs of this State held a Convention at Hartford, ou the 24th ult., when the following nominations were made:

Hon. Henry Dutton, for Governor Thomas Fitch, Lieut. Governor Thomas Robinson, Secretary of State D. W. Camp, Treasurer Allen P. Stillman, Comptroller.

ID" The Railroad Record says "the Pacific Railroad in Missouri, has one of tho most remarkable tunnels in the world, though not the longest. For 930 feet in one part, 460 in another, it is to be cut through the solid rock.— The approaches to it, for long distances, are cut fifty feet in depth, faced with the rock. The tunnel itself is sixteen feet high, arched over."

O" The Lafayette Courier, says, that the Commissioners of Franklin county, Ohio, have sold the stock of the Cincinnati, Columbus and Cleveland railroad, owned by that county, at 30 per cent, advance by which the county has cleared some $15,000 or $20,000. This was merely for tho loan of the credit—no money was ever advanced by the county.

o* The New York National Democrat 6ays, W. J. Brown, of Indianapolis, is a candidate for the post of special Mail Agent for the States of Indiana and Illinois, with a salary of $1,600 and perquisites, making the post worth about$2,400 per annum.

Thk India Rcbber Patext.—The commissioner of Patents has refused to grant further time on this patent. It expired by limitation on the 25th of last month, and is now open to the public. The Washington Republic says: "One of the grounds for not extending it was, that the patentees had already reaped ample remuneration. The profits on the India rubber manufacture are thought to be about four millions of dollars per annum."

SJT A. Pateick,editorof the Putnam Banner, has been elected Recorder to the Council of Greencastle, over John Tnrk, of the Sentinei, and A. J. Sheridan—beating both together, mt wtt!

ST The Greenville (S. C.) Patriot learns that General Bern ham has been on a visit to President Pierce, and has received the appointment of the consulship at Liverpool. This is one of the very best offices within the gift of the administration, being worth fifteen or twenty thousand dollars per annum.

SIT The Charleston Courier places us among "the old fogy paper*"of this place. We once tried to get oat of such a dilemma, through the agency of the said editor, hut it did no good as far as we ever discovered. No disrespect, however, to Mr. 8.

Adopted, and Messrs. Edwards, Cox, and Reynolds appointed the committee.

The committee appointed to waiton the governor reported that they had performed thatduty and that the governor had no further communicafion to make, and regretted that the clearly expressed will of the people, as expressed by" a large majority of their representatives, in regard to the most important measure of the session, hadbeen defeated.

O" Our paper of to-day, concludes the regular report of Legislative proceedings, up to Monday, March 7—the day of of adjournment, for which we have been indebted to the two Daily papers at Indianapolis.

The Free Banking law is left as it was, and we believe the New Code, which will soon be the law of the State, has repealed the law against uttering individual notes, if so, such currency will not be so contraband as it was, and shinplasters may once more be the rage, especially, as small silver change is so scarce. We look for the new Statutes to be filed in our Clerk's office every day—they will then be the law, except so much thereof as was repealed by the late Legislature, which was a good deal. There is no keeping up with such progression. The late Legislature considerably raised officer's fees, making the list in the new Statutes not reliable. \z-~r

SHAMEFDt.—We have seen a pension certificate belonging to a Revolutionary soldier of this county, signed by Lewis Cass, as Secretary of War in 1832, which grants said Revolutionary soldier the extravagant sum of twenty dollars a year, as a pension for his said services Is not this shameful, and showing conclusively, that Republics are ungrateful All of the surviving soldiers of said war, ought now to have at least $500 a year, that they might be able to spend the remnant of their days in ease and comfort. Shame on such a picayune affair as $20 a year. It will hardly furnish the old hero the material for his tobacco pipe for a spell of wintry weather, to say nothing of food and raiment, and the attention he must have. Mr. Davis must alter and amend this niggardly law, as it is entirely unworthy of the statute book of a great and flourishing nation, who are able, and ought to be willing to handsomely reward those who aided in achieving our independence. Walter Dickerson ought to have forty dollars a month, or more.

O* Jodge Hughes' address before the Mechanics' Historical Society on Monday night was well attended, and the audience well pleas ed. The subject, "Burial Rites" was one of much interest, and was interestingly discussed by the speaker—room full of ladies and gentle men. Other matters prevented our attendance which we much regret. Wo hope Judge may haveenongh leisure to make another ad' dress before the close of his court at this place, when we shall certainly have the pleasnre of hearing him. ,r„

The Pennsylvania R. R. Co., have reduced the rate of transportation for bacon, beef, pork, whiskey lard, and lard oil to 50 cents per hundred from Pittsburg to Philadelphia or Baltimore.

We understand also, that the rates of freight over the railroad from this place to Indianap olis, and other roads from that point eastward, ly, have been so reduced, that pork merchants here, are now sending forward their products by this channel, aud of course, materially in creasing the business on the road, as well as getting their bacon, pork, lard, «Jtc., into marketeastwardly, atan earlier time, and in better condition.
