"Wednesday Morning, Sep. 28,1853.

KQCIXOX.—On the 22d of this month, the ban entered the fint point in Libra, (the scales,) and gave us then, what is called tile autumnal ••quinox. (equal nights). At that time the sun arose and set at 6 o'clock, which made the day and night each 1*2 hoars long in thi* latitude, and the days and nights of eqaal Vnjjtli all over the globe: About the equinox, it is common to expect an equinoctial storm, which happens sometime*, to come with "^eat violence, especially within the tropica, or that part of the earth known as the torrid zone,

which is 23° 2S' north and souths! the equator "The sun is now decliningbouthward, which increases the length of our nights, and decreases our daylight. Or rather, this part of the earth recedes northwardly, as her south pole is elevated towards the sun. giving as the 'sun's rays obliquely, which takes away their ,'heat and brings ns cooler weather. The SUB'S •^gradual declination south, will continue until the winter solstice, which is the 22d ef December at which time the sen has the greatest declination south, and shines verticully on ,the city of Rio Janeiro, in South America.—

We are nearer the sun in winter than in the Rummer time, but having the oblique rays in •winter, we have not the heat peculiar to the more vertical summer rays. Living north of the tropic of Cancer, we can never have the sun directly above us, as is the case sometime during the year, always within the torrid zone i—between the tropics of Cancer and Capricorn.

The seasoni add greatly to the comforts of life, and bring us seed time and harvest according to the immutable laws governing the universe. All heat, or all cold, to the inhabitants of a temperate zone, would soon be in,supportable, and though wc are always igrmnbling about the weather, we would prefer bearing it as it ia, rather than trust its ^amendment to any vf our greatest astronomers •or philosophers.

O* The State Sentinel puts down the Wabash Express as an "anti-abolition paper," bnt in *favor of Dr. Gordon as a candidate for Reporter of the Supreme court. Wc fear Mr. Brown's zeal outruns his discretion. We have said nothing about Dr. Gordan's pretensions, more than perhaps, to announce the fact that he was candidate. We have done the same for Mr. Porter. Wo have also published a communication in fuvor of I)r. Gordon, which was handed us unsolicited,by a friend of his. We would havo done the same for Mr. Porter. We have never said which of the two wo intended to support, but if the Sentinel wishes that we should not vote for Mr. Porter, and has tho authority from headquarters for saying so, we suppose: wo must regard the instructions. We know neither of the candidates, but we have understood that both are qualified for the place, and when the time arrives wo shall make a selection and if that choice should displease Mr. Brown, wc shall regret that ho is so hard to plea.se.

It would bo improper to arraign Mr. Brown for supporting Mr. Porter so vehemently, as out of the election of that gentleman, Mr. B. may make something. It is very right and jproper that such things should be regarded, as 4he meal-tub principle is the main one all •over tho world.

Tho Sentinel has the following reflection •about tho papers charged with being ou the side of Dr. Gordon

They will shut their eyes and open their mouths and swallow whatever oomes in, condoling themselves with the reflection that black bheep sometimes make as good mutton as white."

We did not know that Mr. Brown would ad fnit that his candidate was mutton of any kind but if ho is a real Southdowu, with a tail large enough for a pillow for two, we might favorably entertain a proposition to lie along fcido. Lot us hear from you, Mr. Speaker^

The little one cried lustily, but it did not last long, and its mother cried too but went away happier than when she eatno. We all have to suffer, more or loss, and tho patient in this case, will be glad when it is older, that this operation was performed when the pain could not be felt as fully as in adult years. There was als* some risk in delav. ^.

QUICK WORK.—The mud hole at thsi'tvter* seclion of 4th and Wabash streets, for which a verdict was recently had against the town, was filled up in short orderou Saturday night last. As a part of the material we noticed the front wheels and tongue of a cart, and a wagon bed wrong side up, tog«ther with divers boxes, barrels, Ac. We suppose the work was done without the aid of any particular superiuCendance, on the part of the city.

Indiana Furnace*

This valuable property, so long owned by HIGH STEWART, Esq., has been sold by him to Messrs. E. M. H. BRCCE, Jr., of Cincinnati, to whom, we understand, possession will be immediately delivered. These gentlemen have all the requisite energy, enterprise and capital to carry on the establishment upon an extensive ecale, and si ace Mr. STEWART has determined to part witfb it, we are glad it has fallen into their hands. The pork business usually carried on here by a portion of the firm, furnishes abundant evidence that whatever they undertake will be well done. We are glad to have them in our neighborhood, and think that wc may safely promise them a hearty welcome from our entire commnnity.

The '"Indiana Furnace" is situated in the County of Vermillion, about fonr miles west of the Wabash river, and twelve miles above this •city. Its erection was commenced about the year 1838, but it was purchased of the original proprietor by Mr. STEWART, before the work was completed. This latter gentleman finished the erection of the Furnace, and all the necessary buildings, and has conducted it ever since, with good success. He has supplied the principal points upon the Wabash with pig metal, and has sent a great deal to other points accessible by railroad and steamboat— especially, we understand, to Louisville. We have beard only one opinion in reference to the quality of this metal—and that is. that it is equal to any in the United States. We learn that a gentleman of this city once carried a piece of it to the east to subject it to the examination of experienced iron manufacturers there, and it was pronounced by them to be equal to any they had seen. From the closeness of its grain, they thought it might be •sed, most successfully, by the government, in tho construction of carinon, at a western armory. Our foundry-men, throughout this neighborhood, universally speak of it as of the very best quality.

We have always understood that there was an inexhaustible supply of ore, in tire immediate vicinity of the furnace, and, from our own observation, do not doubt it. We cannot speak, with any precision, of its richness, but our examinations of it have impressed us with the belief that it was equally rich with any that has been found in the State. However this may be, we havo never heard any complaint on that account, and from large yields of metal under Mr. STEWART'S management, we supposo no cause to exist for it.

The Messrs. BRUCE purchased also, we understand, about two thousand acres of land immediately around the furnace. This land is high and rolling—is heavily timbered—of good quality and has, upon it, abundance of stone coal. This coal maybe profitably brought to our market in a few years, and we understand that it is in contemplation by the Messrs. BRUCE to adopt some recently discovered mode of rendering it useful in tho manufacture of iron. If they shall do so successfully, they will, doubtless, find a supply for a great many years.

We consider this a most valuable property— perhaps, among the mo3t valuable in the State. Its contiguity to the Wabash river and to the Wabash and Ohio Canal, give its owners present facilities in getting their iron to market.— From this city they havo an outlet by railroad to the cast—both to Cincinnati and Louisville. The proposed railroad from Indianapolis to Danville, Illinois, will cross the Wabash river about eight miles above the furnace, and it is but little more thau that distance from the line of the Terre-Haute and Alton Railroad, now in progress. They can, very soon, send their iron in any direction they please, and will find a ready market for all they can manufacture by their utmost energy. They have our earnest wishes for their success, as we are sure they also have of all our citizens. We4iko to have such men coming amongst us to add their energy and enterprise to that which our citizens already possess, in further developing the immense resources of our beautiful valley and in subjecting to practical use the valuable mineral ores that abound throughout its whole extent.

THIC LAST NKW YORK SCHEME OF A RAILROAD TO THE PACirio.—The papers report that the first meeting of tho Now York Atlantic and Pacific Railroad Company, was held at the Me tropolitan, New York, on tho 16th. The pro ccedings wore very animated.

Mr. R. J. Walker headed the first suljscrip tions to tho stock with the sum of $10,000,000 Dr. Nowcomb and others, of Albany, sub scribed $3,000,000.

This company, it will bo recollected, pro pose to build a road with a six feet gauge, run niug through St. Louis, Missouri, Arkansas and Northern Mexico. Its capital is $100, 000,000.

That is a good round sum taken by Mr. J. Walker. We presume, however, he is mere ly an agent for others across the broad waters

About this Mr. Walker—a very prominent man with the administration party at this time, it is alledged that he has drawn his out fit as minister to China, (or Commissioner,) $9,000, and now stays at home! Whoever heard of such an outrageous proceeding!

The St, Louis Intelligencer recommends the following to the President: "Mr. Walker, says the Louisville Courier, drew his outfit to'China, nine thousand dollars for staying at home. His case seems to us a very suggestive one. As nearly all the offi ees have been disposed of and the applicants are still increasing in number and in noise, the administration must do as much as it possibly can with very small means. It has now only two first class missions in its gift, the mission to China and the mission to France, and, if it will appoint twenty Locofocos successively to each of these missions, every appointee oblige ting himself to resign immediately after draw iog th# outfit, foitv clamorous Loeofocos will be very handsomely rewarded, and the two missions will stUl'remain at the President's disposal as a means of keeping the next Congress in gotd subjection."

This national work is mow 142 feet high, bnt is still unfinished it is suggested as heretofore, that a box be prepared fen4 kept at the polls, at the approaching election, to receive such contributes as the patriotic may be willing to give. It i# a work ia which every citizen oaght to feel an interest, and doubtless, will take an interest, when the matter Is presented to them. It is hoped that die people here will not hesitate to give their mite for such an object for it now becomes more ne cessary, as the funds of the society are rapid ly diminishing and may not soon \e adequate to carry on the work. A small contribution from each citizen or voter throughout the Uni ted States, would be sufficient to complete the Monument,—a work intended to add to their glory as well as to honor the memory of the illustrious dead. A half dime is but an in considerable sum, and yet such a contribution by every inhabitant of our country, would rear the grand structure to its destined completion It will be pitiful, if out of twenty-five millions of souls who inhabit this great country, ren dered independent, prosperous and happy mainly by Washington's exertions and devo tion to its cause, the sum necessary to erect a Monument worthy of such a man could not be completed for the want of the small pecuniary aid which every American should feel it his rr 1 «3». iMduty to afford.

We hope to see the bojc prepared at our ap proaching election, as we know our citizen: will make another effort in the praise-worthy cause.

GOVERNMENT ENVELOPES.—The Postmaster at this place, has shown us the different kinds of envelopes which the Post Office Department furnishes for sale at this office. The first is a small one, made of white paper and intended principally, for the use of the ladies, who prefer small letters.

The next is tho regular business'size, made of white and buff paper, and i3 used generally by all classes, and the last is a large buff pa per envelope, double, marked six cents which is intended for all large documents which require double postage. They will convey free, the weight of one ounce, to any part of the Union. The small size envelope costs $3 18 per 100, the next size $3 20 per 100, and the large double size costs $6 32 per 100. They are all self-sealers, and made of good paper

Mr. Jos. O. Jones, at the Post Office, is now prepared to furnish supplies of all the different kinds. The large and small size are without the Nesbit-stamp.

O* Mr. Patrick, of the Putnam county Ban ner, relates tho following of himself, when he was recently in Tefre-Hautef ""V*

We did not succedin getting lodging until we had applied at the fourth place, and that was at Franklin Hall, two squares north of the public square, kept by a Dutchman, and then not until we had paid our bill in advance This we have often done in California, but never in the States before."

The editor concludes his article by intimating, that big bugs were found at the hotel he patronized on the occasion of his visit. Requiring pay in advance indicates a very prudent hotel management. Perhaps the editor did not bring any baggage along, but when he comes down again, he must call on us,and we will put him through iu somewhat better style, if possible. We promise at least, not to look after the color of his money before we eat him and sleep him.

CHICAGO AND MISSISSIPPI RAILROAD.—The St. Louis Republican of September 22, says this road will, within the nest four weeks, complete its connection with the Illinois Central at Bloomington, and be the first Railroad connection between the Atlantic and the Mississippi, and will place our citisens within seventeen hours of Chicago, within fifty-three of New York,(to be reduced by Spring to twelve to Chicago and forty-eight to New York.)

No road in the United States has ever progressed so rapidly, and withal so quietly as this. Originating as a mere local project to connect Alton with Springfield, the seat of government of Illinois, its construction was commenced in August, 1850. In 1852 it obtained power to extend to Bloomington, and in 1852 to Chicago, and falling into the hands of the most active Eastern capitalists, it has been constructed with a degree of energy only to be equalled by the importance of tho thoroughfaro it is becoming.

Wmn PaEss FOE SALfi.-^We are authorized to state that a Whig Newspaper, situated in a wealthy section of the country, having a good circulation, and no competition, is offered for one-half what the office will realize in one year. The proprietors have offers to engage in other business, and are determined to sell.

We understand the gross annual receipts of the office aro over $3,000, and with a spirited editor and a small outlay to improve the paper1 could be made to reach $5,000. It is the only newspaper printed in the Congressional District, which, at the recent election, returned tlio Whig candidate by a majority of over 600.

This affords a good opportunity for stepping into business at once, in a wealthy section of Kentucky, in a very pleasant and healthy town for a residence. We will give the address, on application.

I.VTKR.ESTINO TO PRIXTEBS.—We observe notices inserted in the St. Louis journals, that the entire establishment ef the Intelligencer— one of the daily newspapers published in that

city—is to be offered for sale at public auction, to the highest bidder, for cash*, on the fourth dmy of OetoSer next. The materials, which are nearly new, and in excellent condition, consist of one of Hoe's cylinder power presses, with engine and boiler one Washington press one Ruggles press one card press one standing press: together with all the type, materials and fixtures, appertaining to the safd establish mcnt, and the subscription list and assets thereof. The sale is to take place at the InPeUigencrr Buildings, No. 86, North Third St., or it the Cbirt ffwte.

Baptist Association*

The State Association, or convention, of Baptists commenced a session at this placeon Wednesday last, add continued nntil Saturday evening. A great many reverned gentlemen were present,ind we understand, much harmony prevailed daring their deliberations.-— On Sabbath last, most of the pulpits ia town were filled by clergymen who had been brought together here by this convention, many of whom were gentlemen of much learning, eloquence, and piety.

A Missionary lady, who had been among the Pottawatomie Indians for nine years, addressed an assemblage, of ladies at the Baptist church, on the afternoon of Sabbath last, upon subjects pertaining to her missies. We hear she had a very large auditory, entirely of ladies. She must have given her hearers an interesting history.

During the convention, we hear, that a partial discission arose about the propriety of a new revision of the Bible, to suit the present enlightened times and the progress of the age, the result of which finally, we have not heard. We further understand, that before adjournment, the Association took strong aad decided

KILLED.—On Wednesday last, as Mr. George Butsch was driving an unbroken horse in dray, the animal took fright and ran off, striking the dray against a sign post, which threw Mr. B. off and killed him instantly. Mr. B's head fell against the post, by which his jaw Was broken and forehead lacerated.

The deceased was recently from Indianapolis and had bought the brewery lately owned by Fred. Berled, north of the Prairie house.

We hear also, that Mrs. B. was unwell at the time, and seemed dissatisfied at remaining here, and exhibited much uneasiness and inquietude, as if some misfortune was hanging over her and the famiiy. The sudden death of her husband seemed to realize all her apprehensions. She was very sick when heard from last, and in much danger of a fatal termination of her disease. So wo have beeu told.

Elder Knapp, an eccentric Baptist preacher andG. T. Flanders, a preacherof Universalism, were sometime since Doth preaching in Zanesville, Ohio. Knapp publicly prayed God ei ther to convert Flanders, or take from him the power of speech, so that he might no longer mislead the people. The Baptist paper of Sanesville says that Flanders returned to Bal timore, and nas since lost his voice, and is thereby unable to preach.

Important from Mexico—Santa Anna raising a large army—Four States pronounced ogointt km!! I

The Indianaola (Ifcxas) Bulletin, of the 30th ult., announces the arrival of the mail from the interior on the 29th, and says

By the arrival of Messrs. Adams & Dunn, the San Antonio Ledger has late advices from the Bio Grande, Zacatecas. «fcc.

Saata Anna is prosecuting measures strenuously. "A tax of 12£ cents is imposed," says the Ledger, "on each mem ber of4 family, with unsparing vigor, cau sing much distress and complaint among the poor. An order has likewise been issued for raising an army for frontier defence to amount to ninety-one thousand men."

All men able to bear arms are remorselessly pressed in the service. His designs against the United States are foreshadowed in the late decree of Santa Anna, which enjoins all who have suffered from Indian depredations, to present theii claims at the city of Mexico. He intends to demand restitution under the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. This order has given rise to immense fraud. Many claims, where injuries to the amount of $50 have been sus« tained, are swollen to $1,000.

Four of the largest States. Guanaxuato. Guadalajara. Mareles and Chihuahua, have pronounced against Santa Anna.

The Western Texnn says: The Mexican people regard war with the United States as inevitable. Many even go so far as to desire war as the only means of obtaining relief from the oppression now suffered while others deprecate an event, which will go far to destroy the nationality of 'heir ''much beloved oountry. There are also those who suffered under the delusion, that a new edition of hostilities with this country will result in the redemption of their lost fame as a military people. t-.y-j'. I

Nine thousand, five luindred cases have been under the care of the Howard Association, the cost of whose treatment has averaged $14,75 each. Its receipts from foreign benevolence have been, up to the last advices $5)3,000 the amount collected and subscribed, so far as its officers have been advised, $136,000. The Society had uuder its care eleven hospitals, nine for those under treatment, and two for convalescents, and two Orphan Asylums. Tliev have had in their employ oVer six hundred nurses and assistants, many of whom, since the abatement in the citv. have been sent to lie towns along Mobile bay, Lake Pontcliarirain and the river, and the plantations, ia all of which the disease prevails.

Mr. Harris looks upon the abatement of tho diseaso as only iu consequence of the absence of material, and he earnestly advises all absentees to remain away for same time yet, as their return will be not only dangerdus to themselves, but to those already tnefe.—Cin. Com.

CT The Brookville American says that most of the black population of Franklin and Decatur counties have sold out and aru moviog to Michigan and Canada.

Upon this subject, the Kingston, (Canada,) Whig, has the following 'r

It may be very well to rejoice when a slave makes his escape, but Canada is paying dearly for its whistle. The western portion of the

Horrible Brutality at Buenos Ay res. A letter from Buenos Ayres, in the NewYork Times, relates some instances of horrid cruelty perpetrated by Gen. Urquiza, previous to nts flight. One instance was that of Donna Martina Pando, wife of D. Marino Romar, who wrote a letter to an I ofheer named Capaco, advising him to leave the ranks of Urquiza and join those of the legal Government. Capaco, who had been fed and clothed by the lady, when he was in great poverty, pretended to favor her wishes, but at the first opportunity betrayed her to Urquiza, who or-*// derud her instant arrest, and sentenced-^ .her to receive three hundred lashes, and^« proceeded, in person, accompanied by

Lagos, his colleague, to see the sentence 4 executed. The victim was led out, stripped entirely of her clothing, and placed ia jk the midst of the squadron of soldiers as-"11 signed to inflict the punishment. The cries and agony of the wretched woman, at an exposure so much more horrible to her than death itself, had no effect upon her heartless executioners. Before the stripes were one-fourth inflicted she had fainted from pain and loss of blood, and shortly after he was apprized that the sufferings of the poor wretch were terminated. She was dead. With an excess of inhumanity which is almost incredible, tho monster ordered the remaining number of stripes to be inflicted upon the corpse, and finally left the spot, forbidding the removal of the remains.

This is worse than Haynnu—Urgtiisa' ism worse than Baynauwn. *5, "May his accursed soul rot half agraiuaday!"

Neiv Orlcani»Thc Pcstllciicef We had the pleasure yesterday of an interview with Mr. J. O. Harris, a memb«r of that great benevolent corporation in New Orleans, known as the Howard Association. Mr. Harris is on his way north, having l^ft, on the closing of his labors, in the district to which he was attached, in consequence of the departure, death or acclimation of its entire population. From Mr. Harris, we have learned some interesting particulars, which we shall give. At the time the existence of the yollow fever came to be acknowledged, the population of the city may be estimated at eighty thousand, about one-half of whom had beeu acclimated. About thirty-five thousand cases of fever have occurred, of which eight thousand five hundred proved fatal. The number of deaths from other causes has been about one thousand five hundred. By the last reports, the deaths were thirty-five per day.
