Wednesday Morning, April 6, 1853.

Commi*iioner of the General Land Office. The 'Sentinel' says that Mr. Ptracs b«« determined not to remove Mr. WjLaos.thepresent whig Commissioner of the General Land Office. The reason i». we suppose, that bin service* cannot be dispensed with, without pnat injury to public business. Mr. wiuox acted a* Principal Clerk of thst oflce for many years previous to his promotion by Mr. Fillmore.—Statt Journal.

We are glad to nee the above, and hope the President may adhere to hia 'determination for we presume the General l.aud Office has never had a more efficient head than at present. It is too often the case that such places are given to broken down political hacks who merely sign their n«mes to that which is prepared for them, without knowing particularly, anything of the business in which they are daily engaged. Indiana and Illinois have heretofore claimed the head of the Land Office in fee, regardless sometimes, or the kind of material they furnished for so important a place. \V« have had considerable business correspondence recently, with the

Land

Office at Washington, and take

pleasure in testifying to its promptness and efficiency in every respect. We take it, that the present Commissioner is a strong-minded, energetic officer, thoroughly understanding every kind of business belonging to that department, having been in the hamtu there, for many year* past. We have understood that Mr. Wilson was bred to one of the useful handicrafts, and has raised himself to his pfesent position by his talents, industry and perseverance, which were too conspicuous to be overlooked by the late Chief Magistrate of the Nation. Such appointments arc certainly much better, and more in accordance with the pub lie welfare, than to take up some laiy or incompetent relative of a member of Congress, whose whole stock may consist of impudent pretension—good only for drawing a high salary, while under-clerks do the thinking and working. Where there is really a good officer^ President Pierce ought to retain him. rather than risk an Injury to the public welfare by making a change, the result of which cannot bo foreseen or foretold.— Mr. W. (who is not a brawling politician) is known to be capable and faithful, and the President cosults only the public good by retaiuing him in office.

Dedication.

The Baldwin Presbyterian Church, Kev. Mr. CIIEIvr.s's, was dedicated on Sabbath last, before a congregntion as large as the building would contain. Every place was full. Rev. Mr. CHEEVER, and Rev. Mr. ALLEN conducted the services.

The Church is very handsomely finished inside, and finely warmed by a furnace underneath—the first one of the kind in a church in this place. The outside of the church will likely be completed early this spring, when the building will compare favorably with anything of the kind in the State. The church members deserve much praise for gutting up such a neat and hkndsome edifice—It is a credit to the place.

ID" The wives of two of our prominent politicians have recently died. Mrs. Cass, wife of (Jen. Lewis Cass, who has been sick for sometime, died at Detroit, Michigan, on the night of the 31st of March. We believe she was a Histcr of the Itev. M. 0. Wallace, of this place.

Mrs. Fillmore, wife of

EX-President

Kill-

more, died nt Willard's Ilotol, Washington city, on .the 30th of March. She had been suffering with pneumonia for sometime past, but no serious apprehension was felt until a few days since. The immediate cause of her death was suffocation, caused by the accumulation of water on her lungs. The remains were taken to Buffalo. Wo 6iipposo this sad dispensation will prevent Mr. F. from taking his intended Southern tour.

O" Indiana is filling up rapidly, as witnesscth tho following: "On the steamer Blue TV»7»£, which arrived at Louisville from the Kentucky river, recently, was a mother and twelve children—six pair of twins—from Washington county, Ky. She, together with her family, are about to settlo in Indiana. She has been married but seven years, and is now the mother of twelve live children I"

Tho mail will be weekly from New Orleans, and the time to bo occupied in tho transmission of the mails will not probably exceed fourteen or fifteen days.

U* We arc sorry to notice that Mr. W. W. WOOM.EN has left the editorial tripod of the Madison Banner. We wish him great success in any business he may undertako.

Mr. W. says his place will bo well filled.—* The Daily Banner ha* always been an excellent paper, giving more telegraphic news than any paper of tho State.

Farmeri, Look to your toed Corn!—The Illinois Journal (Springfield.) says that many of the farmers in that county hare examined their corn, of last year's crop, and have arrived at the conclusion that, not ono grain in twenty will germinate This is attributed to the frost which came last autumn before the corn had ripened.

Horrid.—On the night of the 23d nit, "while the steamers Neptune and Farmer were racing from Houston to Galveston, the boilers of the latter exploded, killing captain, clerk, 2d engineer, aud thirteen of the crew about twenty passengers also killed or missing most of the ladies saved.

Dreadfal Railroad Accident.

The telegraph brings intelligence of a dreadfal accident on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad on Sunday night, whereby several lives were lost. Among those injured was Dr. D. H. Cadwalader, of the firm of D. H. ds J, Cadwalader fr Co., wholesale dry goods merchants of this citv. A telegraphic despatch was received this morning stating that Dr. injuries were mortal, and there was no possibility uf his recovery. Dr. C. is one of our most enterprising merchants, and his loss will be severely felt. We hope that the extent of his injuries has been overrated and that he may recover.

In company with Dr. C. was Miss Isaacs, daughter of a merchant at Terre-Haute, we believe, who was instantly killed—so says the despatch received this morning. The son of Dr. Cadwalader has repaired to the scene of the disaster.

We find the above in the New Albany Ledger, of the 31st ult. The Miss Isaacs referred to, however, is not of this place. The telegraph has missed the location—perhaps it is Miss Isaacs,ofSpcncer, Owencounty, Indiana, as a family of that name resides there. But, wherever her parents may reside, we deeply sympathise with them in their affliction, as we also do with all the bereaved on this occasion.

MO.VET HATH CHARMS!—It

is said that Prince

Albert has been guilty of one of the meanest acts, which is to be found 011 record, during the present century. He has appropriated the office of Colonelcy of the first regiment of the Grenadiers and Coldstream Guards, with its handsome salary, to—HIMSELF! This office was vacated by the death of the Duke of Wellington, and, by rights, only belonged to veteran soldiers who have seen service. This rule of "rotation" has been observed from the creation of this title, until trodden under foot by the present reigning power. Titles and Money have a great affinity for each other, and their irresistible cohesive attraction, when brought within bearing distance, often leads a "feller" on, until he becomes "monarch of all he surveys"—from the kitchen to the barn-yard!— 'Spose he was like the man who voted for himself, remarking that he did not see that any of the candidates who opposed him were more worthy of the office than himself!

ILiTA destructive fire occurred at Rushville, Ind., on Monday the 28th ult., which consumed the Posey House, and all the houses attached to it, together with several other buildings, store-rooms, fcc. Two horses and one cow were burned in one of the stables. The Republican says that the loss will reach $10,000. The fire originated in the hay mow of the Posey House stable, by some unknown process.

O* The New York Legislature have the subject under discussion, of closing all the Safety Fund Banks after their charters expire. The New Albany Ledger, in connection with this subject, says that there arc about six millions of dollars of such issues in circulation, and that two-thirds of the amount have been issued by Banks which have gone into operation under-tlie Free Banking Law.

O" The clerk of the Martha Washington ha? been arrested by Mr. Burton, of Ohio City, who has been prying into that affair for some time past. Letters were found on his person, which, it is thought, will unravel the mysteries connected with that outrageous affair.

O" Field Marshal Julius Baron Von Haynau, who made himself so notorious as the "woman scourger and butcher," in the Austrian war against Hungary, is reported dead, by late foreign papers. His life and services have been freely and fully given in the support of despots and despotism. 4

Much sickness and mortality have been recently experienced on tho Steamers between San Francisco and Panama. The health of the Isthmus is good.

John P. Hale is about removing to the city ofNew York to engage in the practice of tho law. Mrs.H. B. Stowe has started for Liverpool. An ovation awaits her in Europe.— Hope she will visit the mines of England.

CT The telegraph recently brought a report of the failure of

COOK

tfe Bro., provision mer

chants, of Baltimore. John D. Early Esq., of Baltimore, has sent us the Baltimore Price Current, of March 2G. from which we see, the telegraph erred in some respects. The Price Current states the matter as follows. y/'..-:'

The facts in relation to the recent failure in our city are simply these: Messrs. Cook & Bro., Provision dealers, Commerce street,failed some three weeks since. A few days subsequently Messrs. G. Cassard it Son, ami Lewis & George Cassard also failed. These parties were all connected by family ties and did businessjointly, so that, when one failed, their affairs, as we aro informed, were so interwoven that tho rest were obliged also to suspend. The liabilities of all the parties do not exceed $30G,000, and they are already endeavoring to make the mosi satisfactory arrangements wsitli their creditors which the circumstances of tho case will permit.

We thank Mr. E. for the paper he mailed to our address.

SAD DISASTER.—The

snys: Some two years since, the ship Arienis sailed from Loudon for Bombay, and China.— She. arrived safely at Bombay,but after leaving that port nothing was beard of her until about six weeks ago, when it was ascertained that the vessel had been wrecked on the Eugans islands, about sixty miles from Sumatra, where the captain, chief officers, and twenty of the crew perished from starvation. The remainder of the crew, twenty four in number, were found on the island by an oil vessel.

ST. PACI., MINNESOTA TERRITOKT,

March 7, 1853.

Friend Donaldson: I presume you begin to think I am becoming so much absorbed in matters here that all niy old frifcnds there, are thrown into the shades of oblivion—no.

I could find nothing that I thought would interest your readers generally but now our Legislature have adjonrued, and failed to pass the Liquor Law, although respectfully petitioned to do so by-1200 voters, and over 556 ladies 368 Rummies remonstrated against its passage, yet were the^wishes of those 368 regarded, and those of the 1785 respectable citizens disregarded—and by whom, by one vote, and that vote, the vote of J. C. RAMSEY, the brother of our esteemed and worthy Governor, who has, on all proper occasions, and under all circumstances, been the true, independent, and fearless friend of the best interests of our Territory.

But his brother has proved a traitor to the interests and wishes of the party who elected him. He has dug his own grave—killed himself—and will be buried by those whose confidence he so contemptibly abused.

The bill passed the Council unanimously, but was killed in the House, on its third reading. But let it go, we will have our redress next election. 1'

before

It is still beautiful weather as wrote, our winter commenced with the first snow, about the 6th of November, and by the 10th, we had good

sleighiDg,

which continued

for one hundred and ten days, without interruption, through most of November and December till about Christmas, there were several snow storms, and some few light rains, but none, I think, since the 25th of November.— One day in December, the mercury fell 27. degs. below 0 another about the 20th of February, it fell 17$ below. I thinkthere werefive weeks together, between those times, that we had but three cloudy days, two windy ones, and most of the others, dry, bright and sunshiny, with but little thawing, except for nearly one week —though not enough to make it disagreeable walking—upon the whole, it has been one of the most pleasant winters I ever saw in any country.

We have now fine March weather, warm and pleasant, with the appearance of a break up. The ice is still good, and traveling constant.

The ground in the woods has not frozen three inches this winter in many places, in consequence of the quantity of snow. And if any country is good for wheat, this certainly will be one but owing to the dry weather last fall, there was but little sowed.

The ground will be in plowing order as soon as in the northern part of Indiana and Illinois. The indications become more and more evident of a very large emigration here in the spring. The letters of inquiry are numerous —news of companies forming is constantly brought'to our notice—parties arc already out hunting eligible situations for fanning, and town sites, «&c.

The Legislature have formed several new counties, and now the spirited contests for the new county seats.

In Mankato, at the mouth of the Blue Earth, Traverse De Sioux, Henderson, La Soeur, and Holmes', all up the Minnesota, property will now rise very rapidly, indeed, most of those places are now laid out into town lots, and meet a ready sale already. They are beautiful places, located on delightful fertile prairies, all except Henderson,which is in heavy timber.

We do not apprehend any danger from the Indians—they are all quiet and peaceable, and many will, this summer, leave for their new homes, high up the Minnesota.

Government is now preparing to build a Fort some 40 or 50 miles above Traverse De Sioux, which will afford employment for hundreds of hands.

All those wishing to come here, had better come with good wagons and teams—come to Galena—bring all the stock possible, of every description.

Good milk cows will bring from $25 to $40 in the spring and I think they could be driven through from Galena very easily for $1 00 per head—say a drove of fifty. But they can be brought up on a-boat for $2 00 per head, or could last spring. Good oxen will also command a high price, say from $80 to $100 but their services will be required to break prairie. I think a good lot of Grover's fine plows would sell well here in the spring, in short, every thing connected with farming, will be the best business here for years yet.

You may think we arc frozen up, here, so long that we are deprived of many enjoyments you have. This is true, to some extent, we are deprived of your mud, which you have enjoyed so fully this winter but we don't mind that, nor regret seeing our friends have the privilege of wading, while we go by sleighs.

But another thing, we can have pumpkin pics fresh all winter, without the trouble of drying—we let ours freeze in the fall and we only have to thaw one when we want a pie.— We can keep meat fresh all winter in the same way.

Provisions are not so high as last fall, so upon the whole, we live about as well and with much more comfort.

Respectfully, G. H. S.

The petition to organize the "Town of TerreHaute" as a, city, under the general law of June 18, 1852, by ayes 5, noes 3, was referred to Messrs. MofFatt, Brown and Smith.

Interments for the month of April, according to the Sexton's report, were 21—10 adults, and 11 children diseases: winter fever, consumption, fits, congestive chills, scarlet fever, croup, fcc.

A report was adopted (committee not appointed) for building ten cisterns during the present season, to hold about 200 barrels each supposed to cost about $700 in all—to be located, three on the public square, (one now on Market street,) one near the Market House, one near Clark's corner, one near Prairie City hotel, one near Bement's, and one on 5th st., in Sibleytown, one in front of the Prairie City block, and one not yet located.

He thinks that his being a tramper of the weeds for thirty odd years in Harrison township, ought to have given him an easy passport to the polls, and that his recent visit to Wisconsin, after returning seven months ago, should not have lost him his residence here, or prejudiced his claim to a vote. But he voted, after swearing, and hopes to meet with no further obstacles in exercising the privilege of a free white American citizen, doing his duty under the flag of his country, and the constitution and laws thereof, all of which he has supported in good faith, in peace, and in war.

STATE.—This

and important office is filled by

A GBSAT OUTRAGE.

The office of the Commercial Advertiser, a daily paper published at Chicago, 111., by ALFRED DtrrcH, was broken up and destroved by a legal mob, acting Utrfer the o.rdere of a Deputy Sheriff of Cook county, last Monday night It appears from the statement of Mr.

DUTCH,

in the

other papers of that city and which is not. contradictea, that, in his absence at tbe celebration of the opening of the Chicago and Rock Island Railroad, Deputy Sheriff Regan, professedly under authority of a distress warrant for fifty dollars, due for rent, entered the office, seized the whole of the type, took it away, and in doing so, the type was thrown into "pi," and ch of it scattered through the streets, and books and papers sharing the same fate. Mr, DUTCH alleges that the amount due forrentwas very small* probably not half that sum. The manner of performing this duty, is thus narrated: "Deputy Sheriff Regan came into the office about seven o'clock on Monday evening, with a number of men, and said to one of the printers left in the office, that his orders were to clear the office of everything in it, on a distress warrant for rent, from Francis D. Sherman, and he must proceed instantly to his duty. He told him that I was absent from home but was expected to return on the arrival of the cars with the company that had gone to the Railroad Celebration,, probably in a few hours. He replied that his orders and his duty admitted of no delay, and proceeded to hustle the type from the composing stones, and the cases into anything that came to hand, and throwing them into a two-horse wagon, carried everything out of the office in a most spiteful,.manner. and in the utmost confusion. SfT,"

The printers in the office told the Deputy Sheriff that the manner in which he was handling the materials would destroy them for future. use, and that, thev would be good for nothing but old metal, lie heeded neither the solicitations to wait until mv return, or his caution. His men also slid one form of type down the stairs on their face, and knocked another into "pi" on the wa^on, and finally emptied the whole into one confused heap together in a stable in an alley.

The Deputy Sheriff was also informed by Dr. Geo. E. Shipman that he was destroying property that was in his charge, and belonged to other parties.

All this was unheeded and he went on in the work of destruction, which he had completed when I returned to the office, a little past 12 o'clock on Tuesday.

The furniture of the office, including about 1500. lbs. of nearly new brevier and nonpareil type, such as the Commercial Advertiser has been printed upon, is all in one mass of confusion or scattered in tlicstreets and comparative? ly worthless."

The public will of course feel some surprise to learn why it was that property to this amount was destroyed under pretence of collecting so inconsiderable a sum as fifty dollars, and this in the"night time, and in the absence of the owner but this is explained in the allu sions of the other papers to the circumstance. It seems, and this is within the knowledge of every one who lias read the Advertiser, that the editor ha's snid a good many harsh things of the Macomb County Bank—its managers and stockholders. He has denied to it all character for solvency or honesty, and of its iuana gers has said things which, if libelous, could easily be proved so and the publisher punished accordingly, But they, or their friends, did not think this the easiest way of getting rid of their enetnv, and so they ndopt.ed the plan which has teen detailed, of destroying the office under color of legal prccoss. This is an

outrage

which, we hope, will be punished to

the fullestextent of all the damage sustained. The officer executing the writ, it is clear, knew nothing of his duty, or was a tool iu the hands of unprincipled men, and deserves to be dismissed from all such employment. If the act was done at the instance of the Hank and its officers, it will not operate much to their ad vantage, and instead of relieving them from suspicion will justify it. The Bank must fee in desperate circumstances which seeks, in the destruction of property, to silence sin inquiry into its affairs and its solvency. The people of Chicago owe it to themselves to see that ample atonement is made for this gross outrage no matter who may have been the parties to it. If, as seems to have been the case, Mr.

The cotton was equal to that of any country. The natives manufacture cotton goods extensively. Western Africa also abounds in coffee. The whole land is said to be covered with it. In Erravala and Kaffa 200 pounds can be purchased for one dollar. A single tree in Monrovia yielded four and a half bushels in tbe hull at onetime, which made 31 pounds when shelled and dried. t1-"1 ____________ V- {V

DEATH OF A WHOLE FAMILT FROM GLANDERS.—

A whole family named Uncles, residing at Maugherow, near Xisadel, have been swept away by the glanders. The father purchased a horsesometime back at a fair in Mayo, infected with the distemper he soon afterwards took the disease from the beast, then his wife and four children caught it, and they all died in great agony. We have heard that two girls liv ing at a place called the Windy Gap, about two miles from this town, have also been lost by this dreadful disorder. Ifthe magistrates have the power, they ought to direct all horses having the glanders to be instantly shot.—SUgo Champion.
