Wednesday Morning, Oct. 5,1»S53.

JT Hiram Smith, in a candidate for re-elec-tion to the office of County Commissioner from the 2d District, at the coming election.

Aaaivxn.—Land warrant for 40 acre*, for Margaret Black, liring in the aoothern part of Sugar creek township.

Thia Tarrant has laid tri (he Poat Office here for ten montht, because it was directed to Mr#. Margaret Black, instead of the agent who forwarded her application. The Pension Office ought to remember such thing#. Thia, however, was under the administration of Jas. E. Heath, Commissioner.

ET The October session of the Court of Common Pleas commenced in this place on Monday last. JCDOE Ktjrsrrr appeared on thebench in the forenoon, but jost coming out of a sick room, to which he had been confined for several weeks, with a violent attack of flux, he placed a member of the bar on the bench in his place, by the agreement of the parties litigant, and remained at home in the afternoon. We presume such an arrangement will be continued during the whole session, if Judge K. finds himself unable to attend to business for a whole

day at a time. L*Tta.—The Court of Common Pleas was adjourned on Monday evening until next Monday, by the advice and consent of the bar, on account of Judge Kinney's bad state of health. There will be no trials at this term, and but little business will be attended to on Monday next, at which time, the Court will be adjourned until court in course, which is in Jsnuary. We understand the bar insisted that Judge K. should pursue this couruc, as they considered that he risked too much in attending to busi--ness in his present feeble condition.

War In Europe.

The recent news from over the Atlantic, looks more warlike than usual in fact, some of the papers now speak of the matter as inevitable and should such a thing occur between Russia and Turkey, involving England and France, there would be no child play in the progress of hostilities.,

The effect for a time, of such a war, we presume, would be detrimental to the commercial interests of the United States but if continued

for

long

time, and agriculture neglected in

Europe, it might, after awhile, afford a fine market for some of the products of the United States. Wo would, however, rather see a continuation of peace, and the channels of trade uninterrupted, for war must bring misery in its train—misery to that class of the population who are unable to help themselves, and in Europe, that embraces more than half the people. Wo hope the parties belligerent may have enough of good sense to keep out of war.

O* The Journal seems anxious that a Reporter for thoSupreme Court shall beelected upon party grounds, and the last issue of that paper, tells the sovereigns who ia their man. to-wit: ALBERT 0. PORTER, Esq, We do not think that. Mr. P.'a politics ought to havo any bearing in his election or rejection—and that if he should be elected, that he should givo exclusivaly democratic reports of law questions, and law cases. It strikes us, too, that in this county, it is rather bad policy on the part of Ihe Journal, to ask Mr. P.'s election on party grounds, as in such case, the candidate might loose more than could be gained for him. We do not pretend, however, to indicate in what manner the Journal shall electioneer for it? friends. It will take ita own course but as Dr. Gordon has complimented Mr. Porter, it at he pa to to decry Dr. O.and his (pretensions.

What do you think of that view of the case, Afr. Journal ....

UTThose wishing to exercise the glorious privilege of voting, will not forget that the poll-book will be opened in all the townships on Tuesday next—the 11th inst. We have never seen lose interest manifested than now, because, perhaps, there are so few offices to fill, and it being an irregular election. In this town we have only to vote for a Reporter of the Supreme Court—candidates, J. W. Gordon and A. G. Porter and a County Commissioner—candid&ta, Hiram Smith, a very suitable man for the place.

IT Astronomers have calculated that the comet which recently appeared in the north•west, has a diameter of eight thousand miles, and to ita tail a length of four and a half millions of miles, and a breadth of two hundred and fifty thousand distance from the earth sixty-eight millions of mil##. Of course, we presume no one will undertake to aay that such calculations are untrue.

O* The Lafayette Courier say* that passengers are now conveyed by railroad from Indianapolis to Chicago in ripht hour*, the price of fare being only $6 00. It is further stated that in a few days passengers will breakfast in Chicago and sup in Cincinnati the same day. This certainly, will be considered traveling fast enough.

Dates from Oregon to the 95th August *taU that the Indian insurrection in Rogue River Valley cfeated great consternation among the inhabitants. Several tribes had united and commenced a war for the extermination of the whole of the whites. Many massacres had already been committed. Gea. Lane had gone with an expedition to Suite. An action and bloody work was expected. At last accounts 20 whites had been butchered.

O* We hope *om« gentlemen will take the pains to hav« a contribution box at the polls on Tuesday a«xt, for th* patriotic purpose of h*lpiag along the Washington Kational Jlonment, al Washington city. I. C. Thia noble work ia not yet finiahed. and it needa all the •id it can g«t.

Sons of Temperance.

Since the breaking down of the two large Divisions of Sons which formerly existed in this place, another Division has been organised, using the old name of "Vigo, No. 94," and is now in a flourishing condition, having regular meetings every week. We are not particularly posted as to their success, in reclaiming the weak and fallen, but thatthejrstrengthen those who have put their hands to the plow, we have no doubt. This, if nothing else, entitle* the new Division, No. 94, to the good wishes of the benevolent and philanthropic.

The Division has recently had an election of officers, which are reported to us as follows:

Joux H. WOODBCFF, W. P., J. CALLAHAX, W. A., JOHJT SWITIEH, R. S., ISAAC WILLIAXS. A. R. S.,'*'T I- W. MILLE*. S., 'J-,

JOB* EVASS, T., S. R. FEAXIIW, C., \i "ROSEAT ADAMS, A. C., i'" SASITEL B. METHEXT, O. S*, W. HAKTEB, I. S.

tfe hope that harmony may prevail among the members, and that Love, Purity and Fidelity may grow and widen among all classes until none shall be left out of the fold.

O" Prof. K., mistaking the character of the house we kefp, called at our sanctum on Monday and asked for "a little bitters." We told him we did not keep the article, and as he was very full, advised him against taking any more. He said he had been sick, and that "the hair of the dog would not do him any further harm." The poor fellow was in deplorable plight, and without a cleaning up, will have to lay out of doors. Possessing talent and genius of a high order, he has thrown them all away to gratify his inordinate thirst for 6trong drink. We hardly ever knew one of such, when on a "big drunk," that did not lay it to sickness. Not having lost all shame, they always make an apology of feeling bad, sickness, or something of the sort, and they think people believe them When we come across such a case, and know the man himself has not the nerve to resist his great thirst for rum, we feel willing to go for any law that would put the article entirely out of human reach. Wo believe, of course, that no man would make such a beast of himself, if by any means he could avoid it. We hope

Prof. K. is not married that he has no wife or children to see him in such a fix, or upon whom to bring disgrace, misery and starvation. We hope we may never come to such a condition

A RAIIWAT TAXI* ATTACKED BY A GANQ OF IRISHMEN—The night train for Cleveland from Columbus, recently, had an Irishman on board who gave the Conductor much trouble, and who was dealt with as in such cases has been "made and provided." A dozen or fifteen other Irishmen were on the same train, but manifested no feeling In the case of this com rade until they arrived at Delaware. At ihat station the disaffected party on the cars were joined by a crowd of Irishmen who happened to be on the platform, and the whole gaDg commenced an attack on all those connected with the cars—the Conductor, Engineer, fire men and hrakesmen. A general and bloody fight ensued, in which the attacking party were completely routed, after two or three Irishmen were killed and a number seriously wounded, ______________

DREADFUL MORTALITY IN CUBA.—Letters from Havana to the 29th ult., state that an epidemic of a choleric nature, assisted by the pernicious fever, wns sweeping off sailors, soldiers, ne groes and others, with frightful rapidity in the interior of Cuba. Some estates, numbering from two to three hundred slaves, had been so reduced in tho space of a week, that there were scarcely men euough left to bury the dead. It generally proves fatal in four or five hours.— In Havana new comers are also being attacked The immense military and other hospitals are crowded with soldiers and sailors, one-third of whom, it is stated, do not recover. The steam frigate Isabel Scgunda, whose crew numbers 250 souls, had not 30 hands capable of attend ing to duty and the steamer Lezo had lost 3J out of a crew of 50 men.

EFThe Warren Block is now filling up with occupants. We notice that Mr. Ed. Grovor has moved his Stove and Tinware establishment into one of the new rooms, and F. T. Hullman his Groceries into another. The eastern cor ner room is about finished for a bankinghouse and soon the whole row will be occupied. W do not hear the new rooms have any tendency towards decreasing rsnts. All are taken at once, at very fair rates.

The Post Office building, on 4th street is al so progressing towards completion, in which we take some interest, as wo go to said place two or three times a day.

U* The following is one of the resolutions adopted at the State Temperance Convention held at Madison on last Weduesday and Thursday:

Rt$dv*d, That in the opinion of the friends of temperance, here, in convention assembled the time has arrived when the public sentiment of this State requires the enactment of a law which shall entirely prohibit the manufacture or sale, as a beverage, of every description of ardent spirits, or liquors, that cau intoxicate those who use them.

8:XThe Cocjrrf F*ia is to come off on the Public Square, on Saturday next on which occasion, we presume the town will be full of fin* stock, and domestic products. There is no place more interesting to visit, than an Agricultural Fair, prrddsd it is well stocked and stored with everything usually found at such places—all of the very best quality and species.

3J" Monday morning last gave us the largest frost of the season, all out of door# glistened in white. The fog also, was eo thick, that a horse could not be seen fifty yards early in the morning. It is about time to prepare for fires —hunt up stoves and put every thing in order. We fear much of the brickwork now on band will be caught unfinished in freeling weather.

IT From the number of hogs usually seen on the streets, we presume the swine law is given up as impracticable, or a* a bad. and not-to-be-observed ordinance. We would like to see it enforced, or repealed, w* car* not much which. It ought not to encumber the journals if it be virtually dead.

THE PEBFOEKIXQ ELEPHAXT LALLA ROOKH.— We see numerous notices of the celebrated performing Elephat JmBm Rookh, now owned by Dan Rice, and traveling with his establishment. It is stated that the elephant is the most sagacious animal in the world, and can be taught to perform the most astonishing feats. While here last week, we saw her ladyship in the ring, in which she exhibited much sagacity. A narrow piece of sawed timber was placed on two large boxes 10 feet apart, on which she walked backward and forward, as readily as-if on the ground. But Dan's greatest prodigy was ExceUoir, a large white horse, of the Grey Eagle stock of Kentucky, who seemed to understand talking about as well as a human. He would shake his head up and down for yes, and sideways for no and walked up stairs backward at the word of command. He would go lame in any particular foot, when commanded, and suffered himself to be carried on a platform around the ring, with one fore foot on a table, and the other on a pin extending two feetaboveit. When told, he bowed himself out, backward, a la Jenny

Lind, across the whole circus. We never saw such a knowing horse. 'c-\ 'Ki:

CALIFORNIA.—The bricklayers at San Fran cis£o have struck for $12 per day, and the hod carriers for $6. Both of them have been successful. he taxable property in the city is assessed at nearly $29,000,000.

Nearly half the town of Sonora had been destroyed by fire. The conflagration commenced at Barnum's Hotel, and swept down the whole of the North part of Main street. The business portion of the city was uninjured. Loss $40,000.

The town at E. Kelsev's diggings, El Dorado county, was burnt down on the night of the 25th August. Loss $40,000. -J

ID" A gentleman from Bermuda states that the deaths from yellow fever in three months, to the 25th, amount to three hundred, out of a population of twenty-four hundred. The disease was abating when he left.

Accounts from New Foundland state that the potatoe crop will be an utter failure on account of the rot. Fishing is also bad. Great fears of a famine are entertained. The papers are urging government to call an early session of the legislature to meet the emergency.

The New Foundland fishing business has been very bad a number of Boston vessels and crews have been lost.

SAD MORTALITY O.V BOARD UNITED STATES VES 6EL8.—The Mobile Advertiser says that out of nine officers belonging to the ward-room mess of the United States steamer Vixen, at the Pensacola navy-yard, at the last accounts, four had died of yellow fever, and the rest were all in the hospital, but said to be doing well. Of the crew of forty-nine belonging to the same vessel, only twelve were left, the rest being all dead or in the hospital. The surveying steam er Walker was laid up for the summer, with an officer and crew of eight men to take care of her. The officer and six men have died, so that only two remain.

O* The late news from Europe indicates war. Tho London Times announces that the Emperor of Russia had rejected the Turkish modifications, and war is considered inevitable. Russian fresh troops are advancing on Moldavia, and the troops of Omer Pasha, on the lower Danube, insist on fighting the Russians. It is feared Pasha will not be able to subdue their fanaticism to effect further negotiations.

O" Henson, a slave of Mrs. Fisher, of Braxton county, Va., convicted of rape, has been sentenced to transportation beyond the United States.

We do not recollect, to have seen such a verdict as the above,heretofore rendered. Where is the slave to go? We have no Botany Bay or penal colonies to which to transport criminals. The slave would be glad to go to Canada, doubtless, free of trouble and expense-

ETSome geographer reports that the territory of Utah would make twenty States of the size of New Hampshire Nebraska fifteen Indian territory, twenty North-west, sixty-five total, one hundred and twenty-six States.— Should these territories have an equal population to the square mile with New Hampshire, they would coutain a population of above thir-ty-eight millions of »ouls. What a destiny awaits our couutry.

MURDER AT FoaT WAYSK.—One night not long since, three Germans met at a beer-house in Fort Wayne, drank beer until they were drunk, then, on the road home, quarreled, and in the fight that ensued, one of them was killed. The people of Ft. Wayne are aroused and are trying to clear their city of all such plague spots as liquor and beer-shops, or, as they are called there, "snake-holes."

PARISIAN BALIOO.V FEAT.—Mr. Godard, of Paris, has arrived at the acme of aaronautic achievement. He has. come down in a parachute, on horseback. He descended from the height of about a mile. The pony touched ground without being the least frightened.— Two vears ago, to go up on horseback was a marvel.

CHAPMAX'S CHANTICLEER.—^Geo. H. Chapman and Horatio S. Garner, have issued a prospectus for anew paper at Indianapolis, to be called as above, and entirely independent in all diings. We wish them success. We suppose theold crower will have a finger in the enterprise, which will make it go off finely. It is to cost only $1,50 a year.

RKMAXJCABLE CASS.—"Michael Hogafl, of New Hartford, whose skull was fractured by the kick of a horse, August! 31st, is fast recovering And what is very remarkable in the case, although conscious, he could not speak until the eighth day, when he commenced talking in monosyllables, and is now connecting words as a child when beginning to talk.

D" At the annual meeting of the Indiana Baptist General Association, held last week in this place, of which we spoke in our la*t paper, the following resolution was passed with only two votes in the negative:

Resolved, That we most heartily approve of the principles embodied in the Maine Law," as affording the only sure check to the direful evils of intemperance and thai we earnestly urge upon the Churches to take a decided stand in favor of securing the passage of a similar law in this State by the next session of the Legislature and we do, as individuals, "pledge our lives, fortunes, and sacred honor" in support of this effort to destroy the Demon of Intemperance.

Ascension of a Youthful JEronaut. Frightful Scene.—A youthful adventurer, named Joseph Gates, and aged only 13 years, made an ascension tn a balloon from San Francisco on the 28th ult.-— About 2.000 persons were present to witness it. By some mismanagement the balloon began to ascend before the youth —a novice in such matters—had received the pmpcr instructions how to guide it through the air. The excitement of the spectators, knowing this fact, became intense, and the utmost anxiety prevailed among them in reference to the fate of the youth. It was by no means diminished

A rendezvous of villaiNS of all grades and characters, was recently discovered in the sink of the Humboldt River, east of the Sierra Nevada. A murderer was traced by a party from Calaveras countv, to the rendezvous, where about one hundred and fifty of the outlaws were discovered. A volunteer force will probably go out to dislodge the villains.

From various circumstances it is more than probable that the ".Joaxiso Rangers," whose supposed capture of the renowned bandit Joaqin Muriatta, created so much talk lately, were mi-taken in their man, and decapitated an unlucky person who went out with a party from Las Ameles to catch wild lmrses.

OITRAGKOI-s CRUKLTT.—Capt. Patter-on, of the P. M. Steamship Golden Gate, was tjHed before the Supreme Court of San Francisco, last week, on the charge of gross cruelty to a steerage passenger, in May last. The testimony taken before the jury showed that when the Golden Gate was three days out from Panama, a steerage passenger was caught in the act of appropriating to his own comfort some wholesome food designed for the cabin passengers that the passenger so offending was dragged

the upper deck, and thrust into an empty pork barrel, with his arms protruding through holes cut in each side, and the head through a hole in the upper end, so that the cask rested on the man's shoulders, and came down to the knees, keeping him standing that many persons remonstrated very earnestly against this proceeding, and others called upon tltf P1""' senger to throw off the barrel, and he should be protected from a repetition of the humiliating process that, in consequence of such remonstrances. the first sufferer was removed, and a comparatively inoffensive man, who had onlv used strong language in reprobation of what lie considered nn outrage upon the part ot the Captain, was seized by the throat by that officer, and dragged to the barrel, and forced into it. where he was compelled to stand for

ME. EDITOR:—Circumstances of a domestic nature have prevented me from attending to Mr. Defreea, of ihe Indianapolis Journal, in reply to his article of the*9th ultimo.

A man who fights me with unlawful weapons, will have to bear all that his own dishonor evokes. T. D.
