Curious Militia Law'.

The Cincinnati Gazette publishes the following analysis of the militia law of Indiana, with the remark that, as there is no militia law in Ohio, it considers that of Indiana the next best." The time may come when our people wi# have cause to regret their contempt of militia iaws. Under the Indiana law the officers are appointed as follows: 1. The Governor appoints one General in each Congressional District. 2. The General appoints a Colenel, Lt. Col-

Major in each county in his district.

O* Two young ladies had a street fight in Pittsburgh, recently, about a "nice young man." So enraged were the combatants, and so fierce the conflict, that when separated by their friends, they had nothing remaining on their persons but shoes and stockings. The strangest part of this affair was that during the battle neither one spoke a word.

The mayor of Montreal has been arrested on a charge of murder, for giving the order to fire at the late riot which followed Father Gavazzi's lecture. He was held to bail in the sum of $8,000. Three more of the riotors [rioters] have been arrested, one of them second assistant chief engineer of the fire department.

the judgship was so small that Judge

R. could not keep the place, Ac. It is now understood that Judge Roache hat accepted said presidency, and has been acting as such making negotiations for the road and attending to its interests generally. The time has arrived for the publication of the notice for the election on the second Tuesday of October, and in said notice, it is not stated that there is a vacancy on the Supreme Bench to be filled. This leaves a string inference that Judge Roache has not yet resigned, and not resigning now, the people will be unable to fill the intended vacancy at the next election, leaving the matter in the hands of the Governor, to make the appointment, should such vacancy occur after the election now at hand.

We suppose this course must be considered fair, as it may be legal, but that it is altogether honest may be questioned somewhat. We do not care about Judge Roache making all he can out of two salaries, and performing as many duties as he pleases, but his putting the appointment into the Governor's hands, instead of leaving an election to the people, is too onesided to elicit compliments from all quarters, and though there may be a poor chance for the election of a whig, our side stands a better chance before the people than with the Governor. So we think, and would prefer having an election rather than an appointment made by the Governor.

Cooking: Egg' Plants.

As we shall now, in the course of a few weeks, have this excellent vegetable in season we publish in advance the following mode of cooking the egg plant in the South, which we find in a monthly agricultural publication called the Soil of the South.

Are you fond of sweet oysters? If so, we will give you a dish equal to the Mobile Bay oysters. First, peel the fruit, and slice it thin, boil it in salt and water until thoroughly done. Now drain off the water, cover it with sweet milk, crumble in some toasted bread and crackers, with pepper, and such other condiments as the taste may dictate. Now break in two or three eggs, and as it simmers over the fire, stir all together as soon as the egg begins to harden the metamorphosis is complete the oysters are ready for the table.

To fry the egg plant, t^iey should be first peeled and parboiled, then dipped into batter and dropped into boiling lard—taking care to season them properly before frying

Steamboat Bobbery.

The Alton Telegraph of the 6th inst. says, while the steamer Caroline lay at Hardin's landing on the Illinois river, some person entered the state room of the clerk, and while he was asleep, took the key of the safe from his pocket. The office was then opened, the safe unlocked, and $2,000 in money abstracted.— The robber succeeded in making good his escape. The money consisted of a package of $1,500, in twenty dollar gold pieces, which belonged to a passenger named Sears, who had placed it there for safe keeping, and of $500 belonging to the boat. The barkeeper of the boat is supposed to be the robber. He started off soon after, and is supposed to have shaped his course towards Springfield.

O* The Evansville Journal says that a man named Taylor, in Dubois county, killed two Germans, and crippled the third, the first of last week. Taylor was sitting by the road watching for a runaway negro. The Germans came up and commenced a quarrel with him finally one of the men knocked him down with a stick of wood. Mr. T. leaped to his feet and pulling out a pistol, shot the man down. With a bowie-knife he killed the second, and wounded the other with a pistol ball as he was fleeing. We did not ascertain whether Taylor was arrested or not.

O* The last Greencastle Sentinel, (dem.) publishes the following grave charges against President Pierce's

appointmentsr&A

We charge that the President has appointed men to office who knowingly went off from the democratic party in 1841—made war upon its usages and principles defeated their old friends and the proudest chatnpious of the party, and were unfaithful to the Uniou and the Constitution, tthile an old and well establish\ ed test of fitness for office, established by the fathers of the party, is "fidelity to the Constitution."

That the President has denied to the great Northwest an equal participation in the executive patronage of tne government, with the other sections of the country, and that such neglect should be met as it deserves, by a prompt and manly protest from every democratic newspaper in Indiana.

But few democratic papers, we take it, will act as independently as the Greencastle Senti ael—perhaps not another in the State. V"

03- We publish the following to show what others think of Terre-Hsiute. it i» from the editor of the Paris Beacon:

After an absence of some fifteen months from Terre-Haute, we were not a little sur prised to see the improvements which have been made within that period. We have not now time and space to notice them in detail, but it is evident that Terre-Haute is fast assuming the appearance and habits of a city. The railroads, and other causes combined, have given fresh impulse to business there, and it is plain to be seen that a high state of prosperity is not far in the future. It is not a rare occurrence for the hotel-keepers to be obliged to say to travelers—-'Sorry to inform you, gen tlemen, that we are entirely lull, and can not receive you.'' On Monday night we failed to gain admittance at two, and bare ly succeeded at a third.

HOGS—PRICES—THE CHOP —The prospects of the next season's supply of hogs are favorable for a larger number than we have ever had.— All accounts concur in the opinion that there will be a large surplus in Kentucky. We have seen various persons from all the South-west-ern sections of the State who report hogs more abundant than ever, and the corn crops in the most promising condition, and the hogs in all the counties they passed through as good conditioned and fat now as they usually are in November. This is presumptive evidence that feed is plentiful not and spared.

We learn by a letter from St. Louis, to a mercantile house in this city, that 10,000 hogs were offered there at 3$ cents net, but were refused. We also learn that 3,000 were offered on change in Cincinnati, by a house in Madison, lnd., at 3$ cents, which were also refused. The farmers along the Southern portion of the State are offering hogs at 2J cents gross, on their farms. We present these facts wilhout comment.—Lou. Courier, ft /. .•

yPrem tie Ev*n*pilU Journal, Sept Important Meeting'*

The Directors of the Evansville and Crawfordsville Railroad held a meeting in this city last Saturday. Professor Twining, of Crawfordsville. who has had charge of the surveys, made a report submuting estimates, profiles, &c., of five lines run by him between Terre-Haute anfl Crawfordsville. (This report will be published in the Journal shortly.) Several gentlemen were in attendance to submit claims of the lines represented by them.— During the afternoon session, a committee was appointed to examine the claims of the several lines. They reported in the evening, and the Board adopted the following resolutions:

Resolved. That the line be adopted for the extension of the road to Crawfordsville, which passes by^jRockville and Waveland. and designated in the report of the Engineer as the Sandy Creek route. jResolved. That so soon as a sufficiency of stock shall be subscribed for the purpose, the grubbing, clearing, grading and bridgin» of that part of the road between TerreHaute and Rockville will be let.

Resolved. That a committee be appointed to contract (subject to the approval of the Board) with a Railroad company North, for the construction of any part of the road lying North of Terre-Haute.

Resolved, That the Committee aforesaid be authorized to contract for alliances and connections with any and all roads intersecting or meeting the Evansville and Crawfordsville Railroad.

Committee composed of the President and Messrs. Stockwell, Rose, Puett .and Marks. tt^i

The President was authorized to contract as soon as possible for the iron necessary—and have bonds prepared to pay for the same.

This road will be prosecuted without delay. We understand this road will be completed to Terre-Haute about the first of next August. It will be pushed on vigorously to the end.

Destructive Fire at Chicago. Last evening about seven o'clock the extensive engine works and car manufac tory of P. W. Gates & Co.. was discavered 'to be on fire. The establishment consists of two large brick buildings, about twelve feet from each other, in one the iron work was done, and in the other the wood work. It was the latter building in which the fire occurred. The walls only were left standing. The large engine by which the machinery ot the establishment was driven was in this building. anJ was probably very materially injured, if not entirely ruined.

The small wood work for sixty railroad cars was nearly finished, and a large araount of other material was consumed Also two planing machines, several circular saws, mortising machines, and all the appliances for manufacturing railroad cars horse-powers, threshing machines. &c.— The loss is for^e building about $5,000 machinery and materials $5,000 damage $3,000—total $13,000. It falls very heavily on the proprietors, as there was no insurance.

This fire is not to be regarded only as affecting the proprietors at the present juncture it is a public calamity. The me chanical force of the city was not near suf ficient to supply the cars and engines for which there is a constant and pressing de mand. Our builders have many more orders than it is possible for them to fill and as this was one of the largest establishments in the city, the loss and delay occasioned by this lire will be sevelry and widely felt.—Press, IMA.

Facts about the Fever.

A few months ago, a merchant of this city, took to his home and heart, a youthful bride, and went to reside in the Fourth District. Wishing to live in privacy, he engaged only one servant, a fresh green girl trom the Emerald Isle. She took the fever, and in a few days died. Another was hired, and shared the same fate. A third and a fourth filled the vacancy in the household, and followed in succession the sweeping summons of the same fell destroyer. Following the impulse of a natural dread, the merchant went.to Mobile to avoid the destructive visitation of the scourge, and the nextday buried hisyouDg and beautiful bride. Disgusted with a home where nought but empty chambers serve to call up the memories of departed joys, he returned to the city to sell out his household, determined to leave a locality to him so suggestive of sorrow. He died the next day. When our informant visited the premises, there was but one living creature there. It was a solitary parrot, swinging in its lonely cage, and wailing unwittingly its deserted state. Alas, poor PolU ........

The Rock Roue has been used by Prof. Eli Ive», of New Haven, for about thirty years, anterior to this period. Says Dr. Tyler, 1 have no indication of its use in regular practice, how or when Prof. Ives first obtained it, he docs not now recollect. He prescribed It in cases of Scrofula, and always in forms of decoction. It is now a somewhat common artlclfc in domestic practice, for the cure of Scrofula and Cutaneous diseases. Whltlaw, a Scotch botanist of notoriety, who traveled In America about lflU and 1815, learned its use probably in Canada, and used It for medicating Baths iu his establishment in Kngland, which became celebrated for the cure of Scroftila. and other Chronic Diseases.
