Wednesday Morning, June 15,1853.

Begistry of Blacka.

We published a notice sometime since asking the blacks and mulattoes of Vigo county, to appear before the Clerk of the Circuit Court and have themselves regis •tered as required by the 13th article of the

Constitution of the State, nnd the law June 18, 1852. We hear from the Clerk that only one' solitary registry has been made, and that the colored folks generally, refuse to comply with the law. We believe there is no penalty for said refusal.:.'.

Negroes and multUes have been pro hibited from settling in this Stale since Nobember 1st, 1851. and this registry is intended to show who. of slid class, have right to remain here as having been in the State previous (o snid date. When such registry is made, the Clerk grants a certi ficate under seal, of such fact, and without the black or mulatto has such a cer tificate, the person employing him is sub ject to a fine of ten dollars or more, as tin juhtice may determine.

All blacks who cannot produce such a certificate of registry from the clerk of his proper county, are liable to be considered as remaining in the Slate contrary to the law, and may be fined any amount between ten and five hundred dollars. No black has a right to remain here, who came to the State since Nov. 1, 1851, and the registry is intended to protect those who were here as residents, previous to said date, and to. diive out tho.-e who came in since. Conlracts with negroes coming to this State since Nov. 1, 1851. are utterly null and void, and without the resident black can show his certificate of registry, his contracts may be considered in the same light, and himself liable at any ti unto be driven away. We do not see why the law of registry is not complied with, as it is certainly beneficial to those of whom the registration is required.

WE hope our friends of the Board of Health, will take a walk or ride around town, and order the removal of every bign of a nuisance, which may be considered detrimental to the public health to be removed forthwith. A sick man i^ of no value, and those who take care ol their own health, ought not to be exposed to an impure atmosphere, proceeding from causes they cannot control. Out with you. gentlemen, with hawk-eyes and keen smellers, and arrest and fine all that disobey your orders. The warm season is upon us, and there is nothing worse than some of the polluted breezes that occasionally pass over town. We cannot tell you where to go, but it will do no harm to exaniino every place out of doors, and some places within.

Wo understand the County Commissioners of Vigo, in accordance with an act of the late Legislature, intend subscribing for a copy of each of the papers published in this county. They are to be preserved in the Recorder's office, for future reference as to legal advertisements, and ollur matters of general import.—I rams City.

Several years ago. and without awaiting the suggestion of the Legislature, JOHN II. WATSON, then Probate Judge of Vigo, ordered all the papers then printed in the county, to be subscribed for, nnd paid for by the clerk of his court, and preserved bound, in the Clerk's office, for future refence.and the public good. It was then done, and has so continued with tho papers then in existence, as we happen to know.

since, at a Water Cure establishment, near Cincinnati. His brother, ZSFHANIAH II. who resided in Bond county, preceded him to the spirit land a few weeks since.

The one that died recently, before death, promised to visit Mrs. Swisshelm. (the lady editor of the Pittsburgh I w/tor,) by rejpj so loud as to make her believe in the rapping theory. We presume the matter will now be tested.

MAD DOGS are reported as being in Madison. We saw one here on Saturday, but he had a string about his neck, to be led to the country, which ruffled his good nature superlatively. He did not wish to leave the "Clerk of the Court** in his old age, and take up with strangers, who would not appreciate his faithfulness, and his other good qualities. No wonder that Boat was riled-—to leave the old homestead.

W* are indebted to Prof. LARRABES, SU perintendvnt of Public Instruction, for copy of the school law, with explanations instructions and form*, a r*ry o?*ful pub licatbo at this Umc, and for which w« an much ob%ed.

TEHRK HAUTE AXD ALTOS RAILROAD.—A recent eleation for directors of this important road was held at Charleston Ills., which the papers atang tbejipe. report as follows: S. Ryder, Alton/ Rot.fJmith, Alton, W. McBride, do P.C.Higgins,Macoupin. Isaac San ford, Edgar, H.J. Ashmore, Coles, J.S.Haywood.Montg'ryJ. B. Jervis, N. York, T. C. Durant If. York, E. C. Litchfield do. Jno. Stryker, do E. B. Litchfield, do. H. J. Ten Eyck, do.

The prospect* of the road are bright and brightening. It is confidently anticipated that tlie locomotive will run out to Charleston by next winter. So may it be.

Mr. Barnes one of the contractors on the road made a speech upon the subject, at Charleston, in which he stated that he had materials ready for the construction of 100 miles of the road that 80 miles at least would be finished before January, and he would promise the comple tion of 100 miles by that time but for the difficulty of procuring the requisite number of laborers—that nothing but the scarcity of laborers would prevent him from completing the whole line within one year from that time.— He was confident, however, that the road would be in running order from Terre-Haute to Charleston, on the east, and from Alton t« Hillsboro, if not further on the west, before winter. The President, Cnpt. Ryder, and othersconuected with the road, have been in this place for some days, and we understand will at once take the necessary steps fi.r throwing the bridge over the Wabash at this place, for winch they have chosen Tippecanoe street, at old Indian orchard above town.

ID- The Common Council have appointed the following standing committees: On Elections—Messrs. Beymer, TTyeth, and Franklin.

On Finance—Messrs. Boss, JBournc, and Fairbanks. On Fees and Salaries—Messrs. Bourne, J. H. Hudson and Lyon.

On the Powers and Duties of Common Council —Messrs. It. N. Hudson, Ross and Wyeth. On the powers and duties of Citij Officers— Messrs. J. H. Hudson, Wyeth and Beymer.

On Streets, Bridges and Public Improvements— Messrs. Fairbanks, Smith nnd It. N. Hudson. Onihe Fire Department—Messrs.Lyon,Franklin and Beymer.

On Public Instruction—Messrs. Smith, Ross and Fairbanks. The Board have also elected the following officers:

Chief Engineer, Fire Department, James Hook First Assistant, S. E. Gibbs Second Assistant, Fleming Megaw.

Commissioners to constitute a Board of Health, Dr. J. H. Long, Dr. W. L. Mahan, and Dr. J. It. Cuninghatn.

Sealer of weights and measures, John Crawford. The Terre-Haute A Alton Railroad have been granted the use of Tippecanoe street, in Linton's addition, on which to lay the truck of their road, and to build the eastern abutment for the bridge over the Wala»h river. At present there are but few Houses on that street near the river. Farther east on the line, there are many dwellings, all in daily use.

WHEAT.—We understand from some of our farmers that the wheat crop will perhaps be an average one. Some fields are very fine, and will soon be ready for the scythe and sickle, while other fields are much injured by the fly.

We have henrd of one field having been ploughed up for corn, while some others will not be harvested, owing to the injury from the

fly-

The hay harvest on Harrison prairie, and north, will be rather short south, as far down as the timber, we understand the grass was never better, having had more seasonable rains. Corn looks well, and a few more rains will make ample oat crops. We are always glad to hear of the husbandman's success, as those who labor in the scorching sunlight of the country, ought to be well rewarded with full granaries aud fine prices prevailing for the overplus.

A THING WHICH EVERY FARMER SHOULD KNOW.—If you wish to drive a cut nail into seasoned oak timber, nnd not to have it break or bend, just have a small quantity of oil near by and dip the nail before driving, and it will never fail to go. In mending carts nnd plows this is of groat advantage, for they are generally made most of oak wood. In straightening old

O O

nails before using, let it be done on wood, and with easy blows. If done on iron they will be sure to break. So says an exchange.

VIRGINIA CONGRESSIONAL DELEGATION. —The following are the nnmes of the

RVFCS PORTER, ESQ., at Washington city, is still going ahead with his AERO PORT, or vessel fur navigating the air, as will be seen by bis card i.i another place. We-have watched its progress with much interest, and hope he will ultimately sue ceed over all obstacles, and convince the world that such a vehicle is entirely practicable. See his card, and lend such aid as you can, conveniently. Some of those who- have commended the Aeroport are well known in this place.

A letter writer from Rome says that he saw the brawny Italians staffing the palace of the Csmrs with hay to feed the horses of the French and swarthy women hoeing potatoes and cabbages upon the top of it and the ruins of the Forum used for a cow marfcet. :-m

MERCHANT'S LICENSE TO VEND FO&EIOX MER CHAXDiZs.—It appears from the new statutethat there is now no law to require resident merchants, and resident travelling pedlars to takeout a license to vend foreign merchandize, which has been the case ever heretofore. Those interested will see new statutes, vol. 1. page 356—chap. 65. The first section of said law, "concerning licences to vend foreign merchandize" says plainly enough, that said license applies only to "travelling merchants andpedlers who are not residents of this State," and to no one else, whatever.

The new statutes were filed in Vigo county, April 6,1853, from which date the license required of merchants for vending foreign merchandize was abrogated. So we take it, as we have seen no law upon the subject except the one above indicated. Our friends, the merchants, who have not noticed the new law, will give us credit for doing them a favor, as above said and done. ij

BIOAMT—DISPATCH.—A man by the name of Spencer, (Jim, was his last chosen, un-chris-tian name,) being too fond of the "gentle sex' or a Turk or a Mormon in his disposition, was taken before Esq. Ray on Thursday last, on a charge of having too many wives at one and the same time, was found guilty and sent up for further trial. A called session of the court of common pleas, on the next day, condemned the "gay Lothario" for two year* in the State's prison. We suppose poor Mr. Spencer is now at Jeffersonville, working out, according to law, the sentence of the court—leaving his Indiana and Illinois wives to the tender embraces of the one who may call first. Spencer ought to go to Deseret when he^gets out of the penitentiary.

We told the sad case to an old lady in our office on Saturday last, who remarked with a shrug, "I ihiuk they might let the man alone." whose bizness is it?

ETFather Gavazzi, as he is called, an Italian, has been lecturing against Romanism, at New York and Baltimore, and other places east, to large audiences generally. He has since gone to Canada, where his addresses have not passed off so quietly. The Madison Banmr gives the following from the scene of disturbances, as the last by telegraph:

QUEBEC, June 11.

A number of persons were killed or mortally wounded by the fire of the military on Thursday evening. An immense (netting of citizens was held and resolutions passed requeuing Gavazzi to complete his course of lectures, and censuring the Mayor for his inefficiency. Immense excitement prevails, and several outrages upon the Catholics were committed.

Gavasraf If ft. f,»r YorkThe Mayor denies that he ordered ihe soldiers to fire. It is not known who did. The streets last night were patroied by flying artilery.

O" The Board of School Trustees for Ter-re-Haute, have published a card in which they state they have been unable, up to this time, to procure suitable rooms for school houses neither can they say when such rooms may be had. 1 herefore they say:

In view, of the lateness of the season, and he' caue the interest of many, who are hesitating whether to avnil themselves of private schools, may le compromised by farther uncertaintv, the Board have with grent reluctance, determined to defer the opening ofthepublic schools till tho first of September next.

It is intimated that the County Seminary will be bought at the sale thereof, for 6aid school purposes.

FOURTH

OF

JULTI—A meeting of citizens at

the Court House, on Thursday evening, agreed to appropriately celebrate the approaching 4th of July. It is to be a "Citizens' Celebration" —Exercises to commence at 10 o'clock, A. M. at the Court House. President S. P. Read, Vice Presidents, Dr. Evans, and F. Nipport Chaplain Rev. Aaron Wood, Reader, M. S. Durham, Orator, Dr. J. G. Stephenson.

The committee of arrangements consists of J. G. Jones, J. P. Baird, E. W. Conard, C. Frost and J. A. King. There is to be music, if to be had.

COur office is so near the Mayor's office, that we can often hear the arguments of counsel in different cases, as they arise in the Mayor's court. Yesterday morning the Marshal was up before his honor forstriking Jno. Gorman, who had accidentally called the aforesaid Marshal a liar. One side contended that the lick was given officially, while the other side said that it was to resent a private indignity, offered to tho man, and not to tho Marshal—a taking of the law into one's own hand and inflicting punishment without trial, judge.or jury,but the Mavor cleared the Marshal, aud so the matter ended.

MRS. SOPUIA DODGE, of Lafayette, Ind.. publishes her husband, Dr. Loran Dodge, as a great scamp—having left her virtuous bed without any sufficient reason therefor Sophia says of Loran: '•He is a villain, having stole near two hundred dollars from me when he left.— He is a brute, having repeatedly proved unfai'hlul to his wife. He is too lazy to work, loo vulgar to He decent, too much addicted to stealing to hp honest."

Ah how Sophia, could you do it, A house a-fire—who'll subdue it

THE Marshal of Terre-Haute had a busy time of it on Sabbath last. In preserving the public peace, he was attacked, and in turn, he fought back and conquered. Three persons were tried before the Mayor, fined, and released from the calaboose, to call in the doctor to mend broken hide, and allevjnte the pain from wopnds and bruises. We have voted ourselves a city under the law, and we begin to think we are a citv-

IT would be singular if any of the spirit rappers should be taken up. tned. and hung like tbe Salem witch They had better keep a sharp eye out. for the Chillicoihe Presbytery have resolved as follows:

That the practice of spirit rappings (so called) as it prevails in many parts, is. in view of this Presbytery, a revival of thr abomination of necromancy, so decidedly condemned in the word of Ghxl.

ITEMS.—Who knew that there was a tornado in town on Monday? Such was the fact, however, for a whirlwind took off part of the iron roof of Thompson's new steam mill, being the second mishap in this way to said premises.

Wm. B. Tuell has recently bought the stocks of goods of Geo. C. Duy, and W. B. Warren, and he intends to sell the same at prices shamelessly low. There will be two stands for re-rent-ing, we suppose.

Mr. T. has sold his lumber yard stock to aregular in the lumber business from Ohio, who has recently added pine to his large stock of poplar and oak. House builders and fiuishers are to be well supplied.

We notice Lyman E. Knapp, (printer,) in the Post Office We don't know what stay he makes.

Our market is now well supplied with viands and vegetables. Tom Wahler furni-hed us with a delicious quarter of lamb on Tuesday morning, which, with green peas at noon on said day, went the way of all such stuff, without particular ceremony. Remember Wahler and Itupp.

If some gentleman does not bring home our screw driver, (a large, round, white, hickory handle,) we s»ball have to put him in the papers

0^?- The Greencastle Sentinel says the Mechanics' Mutual Health Association of Cincinnati, has gone to smash, and swindled every body that had anything to do with it. The agent tried us for a pvff. but we did not bite. We were not well pleased with the looks of the said agent from the very first sight. So much for studying Lavater.

O* The lady, Miss Wheeler, who has been on trial at Milwaukie, for killing her seducer, Jno. W. Lace, has been acquitted by the jury, on the second trial. We are sorry to notice, however, that it was on a plea of insanity that she was acquitted. There is method in that madness, and we hope to hear soon that Miss W. is restored to reason, for she did uo more than right.

Wonder who those young ladies were driving around the Public Square at a break-neck pare at a late hour a few eve nings since, making "niyht hi ieou*'' with baehanalian yells.— Greencastle Sentinel.

Is that a fact W hat a fine phice to select a partner for life! We fear Mr. is opposed to the vimen's rights o' ni-'hts.

(TTTlie big animal show was in town on Monday Inst, and drew out a larger crowd than we have ever seen here before. Many could not get in the spacious pavilion and caine away without a sight. The day was very warm, and some women and children were carried out nearly suffocated. It is reported that two children actually died. We think it doubtful, though four were carried out nearly dead.

THE Cincinnati Commercial says many families of blacks pass through that city from Indiana, who have been, driven out of this State by the character of our late laws. They go to Mercer county, Ohio. They had better not stop this side of Liberia.

IE?" As our new board of common council will want something to do, or to bo done, we suggest the propriety of giving the names of the streets on boards, to be put up at all the prominent corners. Strangers as well as ciLi zens would very much like to see such a thing done.

!D*Thc county license for all menageries, circuses, theatres, and other shows, is set apart for the use of agricultural .societies of the different counties. The Vigo Association, in thi* way, made $12,50 on the animal show on Monday last. Come on with your shows—such as are practically useful.

OCT" The Putnam Banner, has been materially enlarged, and beautified in appearance—evidence, of coursc,of a healthy state of the finances. The Banner conducted with much spirit and independence, and deserves a good patronage.

The Lafayette Journal proposes to bind together, and send to the World's Fair, a copy of every paper in the State that may be sent to that office prior to the 4th day of July. A very good idea, we think, to show the high character of our thriving young State. Send 'em along.

HORACE GREKLET. of the N. Y. Tribune, is to deliver the annual address at the State Fair, at Lifarette, Ind. He will draw a crowd, of himself, we presume.

MESSAGE.

kt the first session of the City Council. June 6th, the Mayor elect delivered the following address: Gentlemen of the Common Council:

Elected Mayor, by the favor of the votes of the city of Terre-Haute. my duties, in part, are, to preside at your deliberations, and recommend for your consideration, such measures as may be deemed for the public goo l. Grateful to my feilow-citi-zens for this manifestation of their confidence. it will be my endeavor, with your co-operation, faithfully to discharge the trust, with the desire to promote their welfare and the prosperity of this beautiful city, whose interests they have entrusted, for a time, to our hands.

In becoming incorporated as a city." the rights and privileges conferred by the act providing for the same, are in addition to those possessed before the change, as a own organization. Tilat the powers and duties to be exercised and performed, may be clearly defined, a revision of the Ordinances is necessary. This should be done with that delay only required to secure mature action, and when ordained, to be published, together with the laws of incorporation. in such form as may le the most serviceable for public information and use. „,,:4

Your labors will be arduous and responsible, but you will be assisted in the dispatch of business, by the adoption of proper parliamentary rules and orders, whereby respect, courtesy, and deliberation. will be ensured.

The tax for the present year has been levied, assessed and equalized, by the authority that you succeed. It would be proper, however, that their proceedings should be investigated and reviewed, so as to be made conformable to the present laws of incorporation.

That your expenditures may be made prudently, with a view to economy, the financial condition of the city should be ascertained, by requiring an exhibit to be shown by the proper officers, of the amount of monies and credits on hand and due the city, with a statement of .all unliquidated and outstanding claims. After deducting such indebtedness, your expenditures should be within the limits of the balance of the monies on hand and due. and the revenue to be derived by taxation for the current year, as your bo.ly are prohibited from borrowing money, or incurring any debt or liability, unless three-fourths of the legal voters, shall petition youi boily to contract such debt or loan. In such case, the Common Council are required to add to the tax duplicate of each successive year, a levy sufficient to pay the annual in terest thereon, and to create in addition, a linking fund for the liquidation of the principal. The law by which you rrre authorized to act. regards a public debt, unprovided for. as a public calamity, and it would be well that you do not. estrange from your authority thereby, the respect of those you represent.

It is the intention of Mr. S. Dwight Eaton, the Chief Engineer of the M. & A. Railroad, as he inform* me. to ike a useful and ornamental Map of the city and its suburbs, for his convenience as such engineer, representing therein the boundaries of the corporation, and its subdivision into Wards, in proper colors. Such a ip is much needed, and ought to receive the private support of the citizens and prop-erty-holders. Should it be deemed expedient to extend the boundaries of the city, so a• to include any portion of the adjoining lots laid off and platted, or to annex territory contiguous thereto, not platted, it should receive your attention in time to be properly delim-nted on that map.

Progress is demanded, but all change is O O not reform. Preserve and promote the public morals and intellect—protect the rights of those for whom you act—render them secure in their persons and property, but continue stable the elevated tone and character, imparted to this place by her earliest citizens then the change in our municipal system will be for good—and our duty will be done.

W.K.EDWARDS.

Terrible Death.

A few weeks since a German tailor named JOSEPH SHERER, while passing along Walnut street near TweHt'-, was a i-acked by a large dog, nnd badly oitten in the face. The dog was supposed to be under the influence of hydrophobia, and was killed. Mr. Sherer was removed to the Pest House where his wounds were dressed. He remained there about ten days, and experiencing no evil effects from his wounds, was discharged as convalescent. On last Thursday spasmodic symptoms began to develope themselves, and on Friday he was removed to the Commercial Hospital, his disease being undoubtedly hydrophobia in its worst form. The malady increased in virulence so rapidly that it was found necessary by the physicians in attendance, to confine him by means of straps to the bed. He lingered in the most excruciating agony, although in full possession of his mental faculties, until Saturday afternoon at three o'clock, when he expired. This case has been one of intense interest with gentlemen of the medical profession, and hundreds visited he Hospital daily to watch the progress of the disease.—Cincinnati Commercial.

FRANCE.—The French fleet is ordered to the Dardanelles. This caused great excitement in the French funds. It is believed that Napoleon has threatened war if Russia persists in her eastern demands. The report that the Russian forces had entered Turkey, violently agitated the bourse. It was rumored that Napoleon assured the Russian minister that, much as he desired peace in Europe, he would not hesitnte to change the policy if Russia persisted in forcing measures hostile to France and the East. Despatches from the French Admiral. dated at Callao. April I Oth. stated that he wasabout to sail to Guayaquil river, to demand reparation of the Equatorial irovernment.

SWITZERLAND.—Diplomatic relations are broken oil' between Switzerland and Austria.

Affairs in Birmah are unfavorable to the British. In Parliament, on Friday, Lords Clarendon and Russel stated that the French and English Ministers at Constantinople were acting in concert, and that the integrity of ihe Porte would be maintained.

THE BEST CHANCE EVER PRESENTED,

FOn ttrORKlHQSiS* TO ACQUIRE

S A FORTUNE FOR A TRIPLE. Not Two Blanks to One Prise, but Twenty Prizes to One Blank.

THEREthatnot,

is in fact, one chance in a hundred Mr. Porter's plan for aerial navigation should finally fail. It has been examined by hundreds of scientific men and engineers, and NOT ONE of them finds any reason to doubt, but many are sanguine of its success.

It has been proved on a small scale: the work is now in progress and according to the most rational prospects, the shdrvs which are selling at the present time (May 28, 1853) for FIVE DOLLARS each, will, within one year, produce a net profit to the holders at least $10 per week from each share!—sufficient to support an ordinary family in comfortable style.

The large aeroport to be constructed, will carry 200 passengers safely at a speed of from 75 to 100 miles per hour will easily and leisurely make the irip to California and back every week. Two hundred passengers each way, paying $100 each for passage, would amount to $40,000 per week.

The amount of stock of the Aerial Navigation Company is $15,000, in 3,000 shares of $5 each. Divide $40,000 by 3,000, and we have $1P :33 rents weekly dividend on each share. —The shares are not liable to assessments, and the stockholders have uo responsibilities. Six hundred shares have been already sold, and the money ($3,000) paid in, and mostly expended on the work.

Any person who desires to secure one or more shares, may send five (or more) dollars in notes of any reputable bank, directed to RUFUS PORTER, Washington, D. C.. or to Selden, Withers &• Co., Bankers, Washington, D. 0.

O* The name of the applicant will be entered on the books, and a neat vignette title deed (one or more) will be promptly sent by mail to the address of the of tho applicant.

To counteract skepticism on tho subject, the fol owing certificate is presented: WASHINGTON', May 28, 1853.

This may certify that tho undersigned, citizens of Washington, have severally and attentively examined Mr. Rufus Porter's plan of AKIUAL NAVIGATION', and that wu can hud no reaon to doubt its practicability and ultimate success. It does appear evident that au aeroport properly constructed in the manner, and of the size, form, and proportion proposed and described by Mr. Porter, would run with a velocity of nearly 100 miles per hour, and carry 150 passengers with more safety than that of any ordinary mode of conveyance and that the general introduction of such aeroports would greatly conduce to the intelligence and advantage of mankind. We have full confidence in Mr. Porter's and in view of the npparei single five dollar share in the stock of the Aerial Navigation Company will produce as much income to the holder thereof, as the income ordinarily derived from investments of $1,00.), we cannot hesitate to recommend to every person who can conveniently spare five dollars, to take one or more shares therein.
