Rotary Card Press.

Wi have recently bought and fitted tip for use, a Rotary Card Prat, which will readily torn out 1500 business cards per hoar, and make handsomer work, and at lower rates than is common for this place.

This is the first press of this kind in TerreHaute, and those

wishing

business cards, (par

ticularly if in large lots and at short notice,)

may protect thoir own pockeU by calling at ConstltuUon

the Express office. We can thousand cardt by daylight, and having an expe-rienced-foreman, who is master of his trade (Mr. Jos. G. Jones,) we think we can make it to the

iuterestof

all to have their card printing

done at this office.

D* Barnum's Museum and Menagerie exhibited in this place on Monday last, which drew out quite a crowd of the sovereigns, wives, weans and males. Tom Thumb and Mr. ifellis, are great curiosities, especially the General, who is just what he has been represented to be, and who was made the prominent part of the show, as ho well deserves to be.

GUN DRY'8 MERCANTILE COLLEGE. See the notice of this Cincinnati Institution for turning out business men of the first-class, with an education sufficient to meet all business responsibilities. Young men desiring to lead a mercantile life, cannot fit themselvos for such a calling so well at any place we know of as atGundry's The College stand* deservedly high, and is an old woll-established institution.

IKK—Mr. G.'s agent has left with us a bottle of Qundry's Commercial Writing Fluid, which we have found to bo the best article we have used. The color is at first a greenish blue, but soon turns to a permanent black, flows roadi ly, and is indelible. Where introduced, this ink will likely supercede all others for all important purposes. We have a sample to show bankers and others.

HORRIBLE.

Tho Express train from Concord to Boston, while passing through Stonehnnj at the speed of forty milos per hour, on the 25th ult., struck Captain Winthrop Richardson, who had imprudently attempted to run across the track

blood of the unfortunate man reddoned the lo oomotive and car. I* one place was apart of an arm, in another, of the head, in another, of the leg. Ills heart was thrown upon a break boam of one of the cars in another place lay a portion of his brain, and in a third, his liver, and still again, here and there, other of his internal organs. So complete and dreadful an affair, so torrible an annihilation, was probably scarcely ever witnossed.

LARGE FIRE.

The telegraph wires report that a great fire occurred at Oawejo, N. Y., on the 5th inst., which destroyed 300,000 bushels of grain and tw6 hundred store* and dwellings, at a loss of a million and a half of dollars—-about the value of all of Terre-Haute. The fire extentod

over forty-fivo acres of ground. Every millj

south of Bridgo Street, together with.Ames AI

Church, snd half adoxen dwellings. The loss will fall heavily upon the insurance offices.

Lsoa Bao*Ej»,-~On the morning of tho 5th lost., as the western stage was entering Paris, Ills., the driver, Benjamin House, was thrown from hie seat by the coach wheel striking a stump, and had both his legs broken. There were eighteen passengwra on the coach at the time, and three on the seat with the driver.— A Virginian jumped from the driver's seat and caught the homes and proven ted farther harm.

HAYNE AND WEBSTER'S SPEECHES. Redding & Co., Boston, hare published in a neat pamphlet of 84 pages, the speech of General Hayne, of South Carolina, in the United States Senate, on Mr. Footers Resolution, January, 1830,—and Mr. Webster's speech in reply to it. Gen. Hayne was an eloquent debater, and a fine specimen of Carolina chivalry and gentlemanly bearing. On the occasion in question, he stood forth ostensibly as the champion of the South, and ventured to break a lance with the intellectual giant of the North. The speech is of interest as a reminiscence of a period of high political excitement and acrimony and is, moreover, necessary to a competent understanding of Mr. Webster's reply.— This, it is generally known, has ever been regarded and spoken of as "the great speech." of the Massachusetts statesman a3 a profound and luminous exposition of fundamental prin-

We understand the fellow's name is Herald, that he went to a wedding unbidden, at which place he made the disgraceful exhibition heretofore stated. Jerry Tryon prosecuted the case with a viow of ridding the neighborhood of a nuisance, for which ho deserves the thanks of the township.

Death of Professor Caldwell.

The Louisville Courier of Monday says, on Saturday evening Professor Charles Caldwell breathed his last at his residence in that city. He was about ninety years of age, and probably the oldest physician in the tfnited States, and enjoyed the greatest celebrity as a medical writer and teacher. He did more than any one to enlighten the public and the profession on the origin of yellow fever, and clearly illustrated the absurdity of quarantines.

The Courier adds, Dr. Caldwell was one of the most temperate men we have ever known. His science enabled him to keep a trusty sentinelship over his appetites, and the result was an exceedingly long life, far beyond that allotted to inan by the Royal Psalmist, witb an almost entire exemption from sickness. Even in the closing scenes of life, disease did not invade his frame. He was almost entirely free from physical suffering all the vital functions of his system were as well performed on his death bed as during his highest health, and his mind was clear to the last. His life and death are impressive commentaries upon the truth of those physiological doctrines, which he taught for half a century, and by which he regulated his life and ordered its last scenes.

Bank Mirror.

We have received DTJC'S Bank Msrror for July, which contains much of interest to merchants and traders.

John S. Dye buys land warrants at $170, $65, and $42—sells eastern exchange at three quarters—gold at the same rates.

The number before us speaks of the following banks at Terre-Haute. City Bank of Terre-Haute, capital S150,000. 1 per cent, discount.

Fort Harrison Bank of Terre-Haute, capital $200,000—marked with a Merchant's Bank, Terre-Haute, capital $50, ooo,—

Trader's Bank, Terre-Haute, 1 per cent, discount. None of these banks have an existence here, as yet, though they may have taken out the necessary papers, and the Trader's Bank, (Mc Collum) never will, as it has been located at Indianapolis, permanently.

The branch of the old Slate Bank at this place marks "John S. Jenks" as cashier.— This is an error. Jos. S. Jenckes was cashier heretofore, but resigned some time since and was succeeded by W. R. McKeen, Esq.

The bills of the Logansport Insurance Company, are quoted at 10 per cent, discount. We understand they are taken on deposiie by the Southern Bank at this place.

ID3 Tho Madison Banner gives the foil ow ing: "Tho postoffice will hereafter be open from six o'clock, A.M., to nine o'clock, p. si., except on Sundays, when it will be open from eight to ten A. M., and from four to six p. M."

This is an hour gained to the public at each end, more than we have here. We understand, however, that the business here cannot be done, and the office opened at 6 o'clock.

The Madison Postmaster says: "Uo one ought to ask for a letter or paper without the full intention to take it at once, and without hesitation. Time is more than money at the post ojfice."

If it could be so done, we should very much like to see the box delivery here, separated from the general delivery, for nothing is more tiresome than to wait behind a person asking after a dozen different names or more. Baid P. M. says: "The Clerks are authorized to close a delivery against intoxicated or abusive persons or those who are unreasonably querulous or tedious."

That's right. Don't wait on tho tedious.— Tell them to call after the throng is over. A half minute to a man is usually long enough at a postoffice.

In the great forgery 'case at Cincinnati* recently concludcd, Wm. Kissnne and Findley were found guilty by the jury. Findley fled, and Kissane went to jail. B. Higdon, Sheriff, thus accounts for Findley's absence:— "Findlay was at liberty on bail, and I had no authority, without a direct order from the Court, to place him under arrest, or I should most, surely have done it, as I felt confident that he would abscond before the Jury would roturn to the Court room with their verdict, and I so remarked to the Court, and asked if I had not better arrest him the Court said: "No. we toillforfeit his bail." I could do no more, and the convict escaped. I make this statement to place myself in my true positiou before the community, and that censure may not fall where it does not belong."

In this case, the Cincinnati papers speak of Judge Flinn imposing some onerous restric tions upon the press, which they generally re' jected, and the Judge seems to be in bad odor, generally. Testimonials of respect are to be offered to Messrs. Pruden and Burton, the first of whom is the Attorney for the Prosecution

The Commercial of Friday, has the following "A. J. Pruden, Esq., the County Prosecu tor, was presented day before yesterday, with a beautiful engraving of tho figure of justice as a testimonial of the masterly and firm manner in which he conducted the late forgery

O* It is stated along the line, that within three or four weeks at furthest, active opera tions will commence on tho Terre-Haute and St. Louis Railroad.

Supposed Frauds in the Sale of Seal Estate— An Important Arrest by the Sheriff. Within the last few months quite a number of fraudulent deeds, mortgages, fec., have been disposed of in this section of country. All efforts to discover the perpetrators of these frauds have been in vain, until within a few days past. It then became known-to interested parties in this city, that a concern was located in Newport, Ky., corresponding under the name of Clemens & Co., and which it was believed was the place from which all or most of these fraudulent papers were issued. It was further ascertained that a man named T. Craig, received all the letters directed to Clemens & Co.

About 6 o'clock, last Saturday, Sheriff Higdon. accompanied by two citizens, crossed the river to Newport, and procuring a search warrant from the Mayor of that city, and the assistance of the Sheriff of Kenton county, proceeded to Craig's house and surprised him in the act of writing a letter that is said to pointedly implicate himself and several others in the grand schemes of villainy. He endeavored to destroy the letter, but was forcibly provented. He sent his wife for a lawyer, and while she was gone, he was moved without ceremony, and against his vehement protestations, without a requisition from the Governor of Kentucky, by the way, to the ferry boat, and speedily brought within the. jurisdiction of the State of Ohio.

In his house we're found a large trunk, a pair of saddle-bags, and several baskets full of letters, blank deeds, certificates, and miscellaneous documents, implicating a large number of persons in various portions of the Union. Many of the letters were cautiously worded, and are as yet. meaningless. Upon part of the deeds had been placed a notarial seal of Hamilton county, and a press for that purpose was found, as also, a press in which a variety of seals might be used. Some of the letters are dated as far back as 1849, and indicate a stupenduous fraudulent real estate business. The documents are being carefully examined, and Craig is in jail awaiting atrial. Some astonishingdevelopemonts, will, no doubt, be made at his trial.— Cin. Times.

We understand this man Craig has heretofore been operating in this part of the country, and has pretty well bled some oT the farmers north of Vigo. We are glad he is overtaken. We think he was in this office, and procured our Notari seal, to some document which he acknowl edged before us. He purported to be th man making the acknowledgment, thou he may have signed some other name

LAND WARRANTS. Off'd. Ask'd

160 acre warrants $180 $184 80 acre warrants 91 91 40 acre warrants 44 46 The above is from the Cincinnati Railroad Record, of July 7.

THE IMM0BTALITY OF GENIUS. Benjamin H. Brewster delivered au address at Princeton, N. J., a few days ago, beforo the American Whig and Cliosophic Societies, in which he said "If you wish to know what public fame is, remember that the long line of Roman consuls and Grecian magistrates is now forgotten, while iEsop.a slave, Socrates, a mechanic, and Horace, the son of a freedman.are immortal."

O* Wm. J.Brown of the State Sentinel, has been appointed Special Mail Agent for Indiana and Illinois. The Journal attributes the appointment to the direct application of Governor Wright on the behalf of Mr. B., and intimates that it was a "bitter pill" to the President. Some of the papers say the appointment was made over Mr. Senator Bright's protest. We hope any way, that Mr. Brown will keep the western mails straight and up to the time.

ET Mrs. E. W. Bacon of Indianapolis, re. covered tho other day, a judgment of $3,000 against the Madison and Indianapolis Rail Road for the loss of her husband, who was killed last winter by the accident at Pleasant Run Such verdicts will likely induce greater care and circumspection.

Ladies' Porter Houses are becoming fashionable in New York, so it is said. They are for the accommodation of ladies—all ladies. Even a lady's husband would not be admitted into those saloons. Cigars are said to form a considerable item of the refreshments. We speak ofthe fact to repudiate any thing of the kind here.

SCICIDE.—A German, from Pittsburgh, who followed his lady-love to Indianapolis, and found her engaged to another man, hired a horse, rode into the woods and hong himself, the other day. with a part of the bridle.

Impelled by no partizan purpose, and subject to the dictation of no partizan clique, I place my name before you—the people—without refererice to party distinctions. The office is one totally unconnected with politics and its incumbent should, therefore, make no appeals to political predjudices nor pander to partizan tastes. 2Sro man has a right to drag such an office into such an arena. Its importance is limited only by the powers and duties of your highest judicial tribunal. To set forth in a clear, forcible, and faithful style its decisions, is the task of the Reporter. This work is not for a day, a year, or an age but for many ages—for Indiana while she stands as a State, maintaining her freedom, and securing justice to her citizens. Nor will her reports be confined to the State but, carefully arranged and collated, will become apart of the general jurisprudence of the Union— honoiableto us as au enlightened and free people—valuable to posterity, as a safeguard to their institutions.

Without a vaunt of superior ability, or deeper learning, or a charge of ignorance or incapacity upon the present Reporter, nor yet avoiding a fair comparison, I submit my claims to your consideration, leaving you to act as best comports with your interest and principles.

The value of the Rock Rose lias also been set forth by Dr. Tyler, of New Haven, Ct,, in a dissertation avowedly prepared for that purpose, which afterwards, at the request of several of his medical brethren, was published in a pamphlet.

Wo quote from the preface. lie says that since the delivery of lliis address, "the plant under consideration has been more fully tested, its virtues developed, its character better established. This dissertation is published by the advice and approbation of several medical friends. The object of it is to lay before the profession, and the public, the virtues of a plant too much neglected. I ask for this pliyit an impartial trial. I will conclude by asking only of the profession and the public, a more extended trial of the Rack Rose.

The Rock Rose is a plant of rare medicinal virtues, and unrivalled as a curative agent in Scrofulous diseases. Manufactured by

e^cct

It is entirely different from the common Rose. It- is a red-stemmed, oblong leaf plant, having a bitter ta3te. In hddition to a remarkable peculiarity of the pUnt, of bearing two crops of flowtrs in one season, it has also another interesting and beautiful property.

Dr. Eaton says that, in the months of November and December, he has seen hundreds of these plants, sending out, near their roots, broad, thin, curved, ice-crystals, about auinch in breadth, which melted during the day, and were renewed in the morning. For a more minute and analytical description of it, the reader is referred to Torrey fc Grays' botanical works. ITS MEDICAL HISTORY AND PROPER

TIES

Are far the most important, since upon these depend its value to the community. Dr. Loudon says that in 1799 it was so valuahln in England, that it was cultivated from seeds.— Ever since 1806,

PROF. IVES, OF TALE COLLEGE, Has habitually used it with great success in Scrofula and Chronic Disease, and through him its virtues were made known, until, as Dr. Tyler says, "it is now in this section [New Haven] a common article in domestic practice for the cure of Scrofula and cutaneous diseases."

DR. WHITLAW,

A Scotch Botauist of notoriety, while traveling in America, in 1S14, learned it-a^use in Canada. Returning to England, he employed it in medicating his baths, which became great ly celebrated for the cure of similar diseases DR. ISAAC PARISH, OF PHILADELPHIA. Remarks that it has been successfully used in bad cases of Scrofulous Diseases.

DR. J. H. THOMPSON, OF THE SAME PLACE, Prescribed it in bad coses of Scrofulous pa tients at Wills' Hospital. His success attract ed the attention of senior physicians. He reports the following remarkable case of White Swelling of the hip, in February, 1844: The lad was seven years old, and liaa tho disease for three years. The bono was dislocated upward and outward. There was a large opening on the hip leading to the bone, into which 1 could thrust my finger. 1 counted three ulcers. He had been under several physicians, who had given him up. I ordered a decoction of Rock Rose. In two days his night, sweats ceased 1 then ordered a leu spoon full of Rock Rose three times a day. Thirty-nine days after he was entirely well. -H

DR. WEBB, OF MADISON, CT., &.• Testifies to the value of Rock Rose, as evinced in the cure of numerous cases of the Scrofula, especially in children.

DR. FULLER, OF HARTFORD, CT., Administered the Ruck Rose to a Scrofulous female, in which the anti-scrofulous remedies had been applied without success. The disease was fully arrested by it.

DR. D. A. TYLER, OF NEW HAVEN, CONNECTICUT, Relates the following case. Sir. C., from a child, was afflicted with the Scrofula, and had also Glandular Swellings on the neck. At the age of 16 he was much worse had eight ab scesses on the neck, three ulcers on the shoulder, and three on the hips. He consulted Drs Munson and Spalding of New Haven, but all to no purpose. In lbl7, when forty years of age, Mr. Sinith, a farmer from Long Island, observing Mr. C. with his head drawn on one side, and unable to labor, advised him to try the Rock Rose regularly, which he did for four weeks. Tho ulcers broke, discharged and healed. The tumors lessened in size, nis head resumed its natural position, and ho went regularly to work. Neglecting the use of the Rock Rose,Scrofulous symptoms again returned, and lie also bled at tho lungs, for which Prof. Ives prescribed the Rock Rose. Housed it again with the same beneficial results.

DR. SPERRY,

In his medical work published in 1847, quotes the strong commendation of Dr. Eli Ives, Professor in Yale College, who, in his lectures to the medical students, recommended the use of the Ro^k Roso, even in cases where th6 disease is uncertain.

One of tho most rcmaikable cures fa cited by Mr. Myers, who has devoted his attention to medicine for twenty years. He says thatC. McOill, of New Haven, Ct., had long been afflicted with inflammation of tho hip joint. It increased until the joint was affected so that he could not straighten his leg. An eminent anatomist said he would never walk again Distinguished physicians were consulted. He was taken before the Cliniqueof Yale College, but all was ineffectual, llo was apparently doomed to be a cripple all his life. Knowing the efficacy of the Rock Rose 1 prepared some for him. It immediately operated, soon cured him, and now he is enjoying good health.— Mr. Myers gives this as but ono of the numerous cures the Rock Rose has effected, as prepared and administered by himself.
