M. Rulison, Esq., of Cincinnati sends ns 11 marked card about a book called the "Poopic's Medical Lighthouse," which book proposes to tcach all readers bow to care all kinds of consumption, (except consumption of the porket,) besides some 22 other human ill*, aches and pain#—"a book for every father, mother, son and daughter," (half of whom we profess to be) and H. M. R. says if we will copy the same and send him a dollar we shall bavo the "Medical Lighthouse" free of pottage.

We may say, that we never did much in the Escolapian line we have almost qoit the practice entirely, except when we eat too much roasted shoat, spiced pudding and rich taree for dinner but we will make a proposition any way for the book, just by way of keeping up trade with the "Queen City publishing House." If Mr. R. will enclose us a in any current funds, we will insert his card 3 tiroes, (it is just 5f squares, in nonpareil,} and we will call attention to Ihe "Lighthouse" in a pertinent editorial, without charge. If these terms are too hard, we will "split the difference" and take a copy of the work for' this notice, and give it to the first educated ITroscopian who calls at the office, for the benefit of any who may be afflicted with "spinal curvatures, grubs, worms or fistula," which latter disease in horses, in the vernacular idom is expressively put down Jistello, deriving it of course, from buffalo tcroferh, and such similar words.

If a good Uroscopian with the aiT of the ''Lighthouse," and his own good sense, could not cure tubercular consumption, or knock it ij» to fits, and then cure the fits, we would put him down as a bungling hydraulic, a Were water-ram.

A man whose alias was Charles Burton, at Maysvillc, Ky.. recently perpetrated a fine ex ploit in the book line, the profits of wl.icl were entirely on the side of the vender, and we were sorry to notice that a very respectable gentleman was charged as being accessory to tbo transaction,, The trick made a thousand dollars, howevsr, and may have brought out some imitators in other parts of the country Printers and editors who have ft goo8 exchange list, *8 wo have always had, may skim the cream off of all creation, without advertising or paying a dollar. They have only to read what is before them every day—thus Mr. they may even save a dollar they have never had in possesion. Wo arc decidedly for reading, but we do not belicvo much in the cura bility of consumption.1 -J

ID" Wo finish to-dwr, Mr. GBRHLRY'S very fine address, delivered at tho.S/a/e Fair, at Lafayette, and wo consider it one of tho best agricultural speeches we have ever read. Utilitarian and practical all tho way through, wo liopo our farming readers will read it and profit by it. We know of nothing better, that we could have published for their interest.

Some of tho loco papers of this State made considerable fuss, because Mr. G. was invited by the State Board to tnako this address. Wo would like to see a single one of the democratic party of the whole State, that could have done even half as well. All of them together, could not draw more than half such a crowd.

O* The Terre-Hauto Journal approves the policy of the President in requiring Mr. Collector Bronson, of New York, to dispense government favors equally with democratic free* soilers, and the old line democrats, and the Grccncastlc Sentinel opposes such a policy.— We presume the two democratic organs in this district will have an editorial collision upon this subject. Mr. Bronson is now turned out of office—the Journal approves, the Sentinel disapproves. Go at it, gentlemen. Wo are only a passenger, *nd will carefully read your articles, though we confess, in advance, that wo may be on Bronson's side of the question.

O* A slave was arrested last week in Cincinnati, taken before a Commissioner, and an investigation commenced. Before it was eoneluded, ami while the Commissioner was delivering his opinion, it was discovered that the slave had disappeared. His counsel declared their entire innocence in the matter, but the frro ncgroos *luuttd loudly at the event The owner promptly notified tkv Marshal that he should hold him responsible for the value of the slave, and this may bring him back again.

A Scurry Act.

The old cannon belonging to this part of the militia of Indiana, has been standing upon iU wheels for some months past in the CourtHouse yard. Od Sunday morning last, at 3 o'clock, some very miscKievotis scamp or scamps, (of which kind of folk ve have never had to complain of scarcity in this market,) heavily loaded the aforesaid big gun, and touched her off, by way of a "baby-wakener," we suppose and such a report as echoed about this deadening has never before been heard 1 The old gun stood it, however, without burst1ing, but such was not.the case with the window lights in the Linton Block, whose pavement next morning was literally covered with broken^lass. We suppose every sleeper in town was aroused, as one of our little fellows sleeping on a trundle bed in our bed room, cried out, "Pa, is it raining IJe thought there was a great storm on hand, and that the noise ^as 4

The kernel of the militia in Vigo had better take charge of the aforesaid gun, and spike it, or incarcerate the whole vehicle in the calaboose, for safe keeping. It will be an act of patriotism on his part for which his sogers will rise up and call him "blessed," of which number We will be one, although we understand from Joseph E. Jones, that he indignantly refuses to pay 50 cents due this office for election tickets in Oct. 1852, contracted for by J*mesH. Nelson, committeeman, appointed for that special purpose by a large majority of the 40 candidates then runniug for office. 4

Klap of the United State*} Arc. We have recently ^examined a new map of the UNITED STATES, including all the recently laid off Territories, also the contiguous British Provinces, Mexico, the West Indies, and Central America, all of which are finished in a very superior style of workmanship, reflecting much credit on Mr. Colton, the author. Mr. Battles, the agent, has been in town recently, taking subscriber's names, and we presume he has made a large list, as it is a very useful work, which will b? an ornament to any room, however fine it may be. We think we have never seen a finer map, or one more deserving of an extensive sale. Our western frontier, which is now attracting so much attention, is laid off according to government surveys and divisions, and at a glance, may be seen the various partition lines, as well as the animals of the country, its rivers, mountains, fcc., Ac.

We notice the public press are unanimous in commending this map to the public, and we can say, that those of our readers wishing any thing of the kind, ought to embrace the earliest opportunity of procuring a copy,

13* At the recent session of the Circuit Court at Grcencastle, Judge Hughes pronounced the school tax unconstitutional. TJhe Sentinel says as follows: «, "This was an application to the Court to restrain the Treasurer from collecting a School Tax, voted under the 130th section of the Act, commonly known as the School Law. It was argued by Hon. J. Pcttitt and and Judge McDonald for and Judge Eckles and Hon. H. Secres against it. The Court decided the section unconstitutional and awarded a perpetual injunction, from which the defendants appealed to the Supreme Court. This, we understand, leaves the Treasurer to collect the tax in the snmo manner ho was bound to do if no proceedings had been hud." «,

Uoos.—The Lebanon (Ky.) Pott, of October 26tli, says: t| ). A few weeks ago hotfs could have been'/and were engaged at $2,50, in this county now they are in demand at $4. What the result of this will be, remains to be seen. It, at least, has tho tendency to make pork high in the country, at killing time, whether the prices keep up thereafter in the market or not. We heard tne other day, that Mr. James Schooling engaged 500 hogs of D. E. Ray, at $4,50. If this is not up in the pictures, wo do not know what is. «f 'I 11

Fifteen minutes only are expected to be required for the transmission.

FROM CAUFOKXIA.—The steamer Northern Light arrived at Norfolk, Va., on the 26th stant, bringing $1,000,000 in gold, and. 700 passengers. She brings the following Items:

Advices-from Utah say the Indians contin o? their troubles, and had committed" many depredations at Salt Lake.

The trouble at Rogue River Valley with the Indians still continued. Capt. John Valdee, formerly of the coast survey, was murdered at Pulger Ranche, some Mexicans. Some of the party had been arrested.

A severe fight between the Indians and whites occurred near Jacksonville on the 13th of September. Thomas Phillips, formerly of Chester county, Pa., was killed.

Advices from Sandwich Islands say that the king still refut»es to dismiss the ministers, and a revolution is thought certain.

It is reported that 12,000 Russians were preparing to emigrate to the Sandwich Islauds, under the auspices of the Emperor.

The revolution in Yucatan had been suppressed. The Spanish minister had suspended relations with the Mexican government, and had left the city. The cause of the difficulty is unknown. 5^51?

The Indian ravages continued in Durango and New Leon. Floor was selling at San Francisco at $12@ $13,00 per brl. clea$ por]^ .$28,00, and mess beef $15.00,

"The Wabash Express of last week stated that the Terre-Haute Road charged full fare during State Fair week. We have the authority of Conductor Van Horn for saying that the statement of the Express is entirely incorrect, as only half the usual rates of fare were exacted."

We find the above in an exchange, credited to the State Sentinel—one of its daily issues. We receive the Sentinel weekly, (not daily,) and expected to find the article in that paper of October 27th, but on examination, we find the article tupprested. We presume Mr. Brown got ashamed of himself, and concluded to back out as soon as he could.

If Mr. B. wrote the article attributed to his paper, from which the above extract is taken, he is a worse editor than he has credit for and as he failed to let us see it in his own columns, he exhibits a meanness we should be very sorry to think he always, had. We said no such, thing as attributed to us what we said upon that subject, was true, then and now, and if the Sentinel will quote what we did say, and then say it is "incorrect," we may tako the trouble to show how much "Conductor Van Horn" knows about it. Ws know what we said wat true, (and we have no fault to find about it,) and we do not intend that the Sentinel shall misrepresent us. .»

FUOM EUROPE.—The Niagara arrived at New York on the 27th ult., bringing the following The Paris correspondents state that letters from Constantinople say that, in private circles, the Eastern question is closely examined at every point, and the conclusion is that there is no escape from war. Russian agents are afctively engaged in Turkey stirring up the people for insurrection. The Sultan of Turkey announces that if the Russians do not evacuate tho Danubian Principalities, he will consider it a cause of war and act accordingly, but the Turkish troops will not at present cross the Danube.

The proclamation of war is posted on qll the mosques. The Sultan has invited the combined fleets to come to Constantinople.

The Black sea is to be free to all neutral nations. Corn may now be imported into the t'npal States free of duty, until February next.

TheEmperor of Russia has authorized a free

importation into all the ports of Finland of all materials for equipping ships.This privilege is to continue for five years. *V

ITThe Lafayette Journal thus pitches into tho Bramble House at that place, for the course of extortion said to have prevailed within its precincts during the State Fair:

There is not «i citieen of Lafayette who does not condemn the extortion practiced at the Bramble House as indignantly as the worst used of its victims. The proprietor ef that establishment has vindicated forhimself no equivocal place in their estimation. He stands among and will stand among us to the last day of his life, a hissing and a bye-word, the synonym for all that honest men condemn and despise,' ('Fixed statue on the pedestal of Scorn."

GKORGIA ELECTIONS.—TheSavannah Republican has received returns from every county in the State of the vote for Governor, and the aggregate majorities foot up 8,952 for Jenkins, to 9,154 for Johnson, leaving a majority of 202 for the latter. Of 89 Senators elected so far as heard from, 43 are whigs or TTnion men, and 46 democrats. To the lower house 56 whigs or Union men, and 67 democrats are elected. To Congress five democrats and three whigs or Union men are elected.

0*We notice that Captain G. W. Cutter, formerly of this place, and once our representative in the General Assemby of the State, has been divorced from his wife, and restored to all the rights of an unmarried man, by a decree of the Kenton Ky., circuit court.

The brave Captain has had a life of many and great vicissitudes. We hope he will settle down With happiness yet.

(jPMr. Collector Bronson's saucy, but very correct and independent letter to Mr. Secretary Guthrie, has resulted in the following removals and appointments. We suppose the Cabinet of General Pintcx will soon be ashamed of itself:

FEW YORK. Oct. 25.

Herman J. Rcdfieltl, soft, appointed eollector, vicc Bronson. rtnwved 4. R. Brcmdneiia* soft, naval officer, vice Redfield John S. Ci«co, soft, sub-treasurer, vice Dix John L. O'SulH van, free-soiler, charge to PortngalJ|

We apprehend another letter or two trnm Greene C. Bronson, would blow np the Cabinet, as they hare very, summarily settled him. The country may look for some interesting developments.

rrWill the SatiMtT' tell us whether it is true or not that R.J. Walker received $9,000 for ottt-fit as Commissioner to China and then resigned. If so, was it honest 1—State Jt*r**L

Some of the administration organs ought to answer this question, for it hasbeeo pretty generally charged against Mr. Walker, and if trne, oogbt to disgrace him forever. We know of nothing that a prominent public man might noli do, if beeoalddo such a thing as the abo« with impanity.

lD"We find the following talk about one of our citizens, in, tire Brookville American, and as the gentleman spoken of is a close neighbor of ours, we* publish the article of course. If Bob has any objections to it, he knows where to find us, though we inform him in advance that we could probably lam him, if he attacks ns. Bob is progressive, forhe wishes all of northern Mexico, and the island of Cuba added to the Union, vi ef cruris, if necessary. Hf is a Whig fillibuster, and no mistake:

Bekert if. Hudsoa« E«.

Our old friend—we mean our quondam friend, for "Bob," as we used to call bun in our school boy days, is not old—true, like ourself he is getting old but our friend, our forrtier friend, and our present friend, dropt into n-ur sanctum last week. We wcreglad to see htm. He is such a man as we love to love. We loVed him when a boy, although liis native go-ahe&d-itiveness often prompted him to get above us in the class. And, lie keeps ahead of us, for he has been to the legislature, and was ohce sent to the penitentiary by Gov. Wright, aod is now one of the first lawyers in Vigo country. In whatever he engages he excels. It was to this trait of character, that he owed his appointment above alluded to. When the penitentiary had been burnt, he was selected, as the most suitable man, then in the legislature, to inquire into the cause and extent of the fire, and faithfully did he discharge the trust assigned him.

We admire him as aman.andasapolitici.in, albeit we-don't agree with him in some of his notions. But he is FROOBESSIVK, and we hope he will be about right after a while. We loved the way he did battle for some of the reforms that have been introduced into our new code. But enough of. this. To the old acquaintances of Mr. Hudson.it may be interesting to say, that he is in good health as may be easily inferred from his nldermanic proportions. And Alderman, he is, sure enoogh.—^ The Prairie City men have placed him in that grave and dignified position. Good luck to him and to all he does.—BrookvtlU Amctvcan.

The Cincinnati Railroad Record

contains a complimentary notice, (from an Indianapolis correspondent,) of Mr. S. IIUESTIS, which we take to be true, and well merited, from which, the following is an extract:

I take pleasure in recording the good management of the Terre Haute fload. under the supervision ofS. HUESTIS, Esq.. General Superintendent assisted by Mr. Anthony, car builder and car inspector, and charge of repairs.

It is not the good fortune of roads in general to secure the services of men combining the practical talent of these gentle men men, whose actions arc based upon ample experience, and original thought—-who comprehend the folly of cheap labor, and cheap expenditures—who are urgent in their demands for the best materials for construction and repairs—the bed fornns of application—the best talent, and at remunerating prices constant in their calling, careful, vigilant. And I am pleased to record, that the Company is yielding to these imperative, yet reasonable demands

In travelling over said road, we h.ive always foilnd Mr. H. at his post, pleas ant and accommodating, and ready to obi ige travelers in every reasonable particular. We understand he has built a house here, and is now permanently among our citizens, perhaps for life

TOBK.—It is time now to commence prepaV itions for the pork business, and wo presume i.f the weather is of the proper sort, slaughtering may commence in eight or ten days at this place. We hear from a dealer, that some 4 or 5000 hogs have been bought at this place, at. from $4,00 to $4,50. This may be regarded as about the top of the market, at present, which may likely vibrate daily or weekly, according to the news from Cincinnati and New York, and other points. We take it that the prospects are fair for good prices for pork this season, though it is most too soon to judgo of tho future very correctly.

WAR IN EUROPE.—It is not yet positively known whether hostilities have commenced between Russia and Turkey. It is affirmed some prints and denied in others, and t^me only can determine the question. The Madison Banner which brings us the latest news by telegraph, failed to reach us on Monday evening. The next arrival from Europe, will probably clear up tho question one way or the other,

(ETThere was a great meeting of Militia officers held at Indianapolis on the 17th ult., in order to adopt measures by which the people at large shall bo forced into mustering at regular intervals during the year all of which is to be accomplished by ft system of fines, which the legislature failed to provide for in the Statute. The absence of a private at the trainings, is one dollar, only. Officers are to be fined much higher—as soon as the legislature passes such a law, which may be in 18551 .4

Hostilities on the Danube and shores of the Caspian sea are inevitable. Despatches from Vienna to the 17th say that GartschotT had replied to the Turkish summons that he has no authority cither to commence hostilities, make peace, or evacuate the principalities, and therefore refused neither.
