TERRE-HAUTE TO-DAY. The out door work of the mechanic is measurably over forthis season, and it is refresh* inp to take a stroll around our beautiful city, and view the many improvements of the summer. The time was, and but a short time ago, •when every citizen was familiar with all the improvements going on in our midst. If & house was built, every one knew it, and if a new business firm was organized, it became a subject of general conversation. What was one person's business, seemed to be every person's business. Just emerging from the rude simplicity of a frontier life, each took an interest in tbe welfare of the other, and all lived apparently as one great family. It was a pleasant state of affairs, and the old pioneers cannot, even now, give up, that they are bocoming strangers in their own homes. Unfamiliar faces meet them atevery corner—strange voices salute their ears, and the din and hurry of active life breaks in upon their quiet retire tuent.

But all this is the evidence of prosperity, and our once rural little prairie village is rapidly putting on city airs—swelling herself out to city dimensions, and giving us all a pleasant foretaste of city life.

The improvements of Terra Haute this sumroor, arc perhaps of a more substantial charactor than any preceding year.

The magnificent row of store rooms built by Wa. U. Turn, and others, arid crowned by Mr. LUPOWIOI'S splendid Ilotel, is decidedly the most raasBivo and substantial block our city can boasf The architectural beauty of this building, is admired by all, and the arrangement for, both stores and Hotel, iB admirable.

The Congregationalist Church, the brick Work of which is just being finished, is brim full of taste and beauty, and with the exception of a little fault in its architectural proportions, is the finest Church we have seen in this Stale ancTwhen the City Council, place agood clock iu its tall Bpire, the time of day cau be seen from almost any part of the prairie.

Tho largo addition, to the already extensive proportions of ths Terro-Haute House, ^ives it a very imposing appearance, and then further on is Tuaxsa A MOKEEK'S immense Warehouse, and HOLMES' Iirge Fouuderjr, both built on the edge of tho W. A E. Canal. There is then, the building belonging to the E. dt 0. Railroad, and hundreds of beautiful little rural homes east of the T. H. A R. Depot.—Coming north and wpst, we see the extensive improvements built by the Alton Railroad Company—their Circlar Engine House and Freight Depot, both in the most improved styles.

JBut we can't enumerate—if wo should attempt it, our paper would be filled with countless names. Among the many residences put up this summer, are E, S. WQL«'S. Wtt. D. GatswoLD'a, 3. H. POTTRB'S, and that beautiful littlo suburbau cottage, ai the foot of Market street, built by E. GROVES. We liko those cottages, there is an bir of such comfort about them—such domcstio happiness—suob rural taste, that they always ope a fountain In our heart, ami make us envy the happy occupant.

There is also, WKLOH'S block, and the substantial improvements made to the "Buntin HOURM" WALLACE 4 WrtT8"S new Foundery, and the commodious School-House, just in the course of erection

Wo will stop enumerating, for as our wind runs up and down each street, and selects each new improvement, like the traveler ascending a mount'tin, when he fancies he has attained the summit, helooksup, §utl bofptf hioi hills on hilfti arise.

Take it altogether, Terre-Haute was never more prosperous than to day. A rapid growth for tho last few years, has developed tho enterprise and resources of her citizens, and now, with her population of from 8000 to J0,000, skf bids fair to soon have hardty a rival in the State. No city wostjrf the Allegany slope can boast of a finer locaflbn.antl in our judgment, no city iu Indiaua is more universally healthy.

Thore is one thi»? however, Terre-Haute very much needs, and wo would like, if possible, to direct the attention of our capitalista *nd citiaens in that way. We want well graveled or planked roads going out in every di« faction from tho city and especially do we want, and »itt«rA«M,a well built road over the Wabash bottom—this is indispensable, and the subject must bo agitated until the road ia built. Upon this question, we are an mgitatw.

Nothing more enhances the value of property, or secures a mora substantial growth to any city, than good roads leading to and from it-

make iho city of Terre-Haute peculiarly farorcd, and her adva other in our Stated

Nothing would bo more gratifying to these

nal discord, thrill to

hold this glorious confederacy severed by a

'The South under tho protection of Eug-

decree of Providence and Great Britain's pro-

We are impressed with tho belief, that before the pillars of this confederacy are hurled from their firm pedestals, either by discord from within, or opposing force from without, the stars and the stripes of this Union will swell OUt on tho brccac, nml p«»f lta cliadow over the ruins of England's disregarded constitution and prostrated empire.

At any rate, we think it will be some days before-England's protection is required in any portion of this country. Tho following are the concluding remarks of this correspondent: "Such, in their ignorance, aro the anticipations th^y nut forward, and when hearThem I feel as if 1 would, if I could, blow up England and sink all Europe. Whatever we may think of such declarations, it shows the feelings and hopes that exist in Europe as regards us, and should be a warning and a lesson and, thoneh it is in England such things are more freely discussed, it is also tho prevailing seutinient with the governments if not the people of the continent. It is necessary for an American to come to and reside a short period in E\iropc, to realize how contemptible aad absurd are our domestic divisions, and particularly tha present absorbing one between the North and the South on tho slavery question. If the agitators and intermeddlers of the North and the seceders of the South would only allow themselves to take a correct and reasonable view of matters and things, and respect and regard the provisions and obligations of the Constitution, how promptly and permanently would good feelings and brotherly relations be restored between thc different sections of the country, and how blessed it would be under a state of progress and prosperity unknown to any oth-jr nation of the earth,!

Lady Noel Byron (widow of the poet) is among the latest arrivals at Pogg's Royal Hotel, Brighton.—Ex.

Many years ago, an American traveler met Lady Byron, and in speaking of her husband's poetry, she very innocently asked, "Is Lord Byron's poetry read in America The schoolboy of ten summer's—tho laughing, romping girl, just blushing into womanhood—-the young man—the full-grown wowan—-thegray headed father and the elderly matron, can all answer that question, and say, Lord Byron's poetiy it read in America, and every place else, where true genius is admired and the poetry of the heart appreciated.'"

Who has not read Byron'a poetry, might bo a more difficult question to answer. Tis true, there is a shade of immorality occasionally thrown into his writings, the influence of which, might bo injurious on some minds—but then the bright corrustations of thought—the glowing conceptions of genius—the beauty, toe sublimity that abounds everywhere, amply repays for the efior|. required to resist the insidious poisons.

No man has ever read Byron carefully, and been made a worse man. A thousand hidden fountains have been opened in the heart, that have continued £0 flow at long at that heart continued to beat.

It would be well if some of his piece* were never read,but take his poetry all together,it ia much better to read it, than not to read it.

The committee, to whom this matter will be referred, without doubt, will be organized with an eye to thc individual opinions of each member on this subject, and though, the merits of envU eaoi.auht wajr uc tiiuiuugniy canvassed in the committee room, still in all probability, the fight will come up on tho acceptance, or rejection of the committee's report.

Singular Testimony.

In a recent breach of promise case, tried at Springfield, Mass., in which a roan by the name of Dwight was the defendant, the mother of the plaintiff gave the following testimony: *'At onetime Dwight saw Eunice mopping the floor. Ho asked her to come to tho door and sec a big hawk there was there. She went out, and in a moment I followed to see the hawk too. I did not see any hawk, but did see Dwight with his srm around Eunice's waist. I saw him kiss her, and tell her he didn't want her lo mop floors. She said she could do it better thsn mother."

The evidence was considered so conclusive, that the jury gave the fair plaintiff twenivfive hundred dollars damages. He, however is so unreasonable that ho has appealed to the Su-

Eawk

reme Court, on the grouod that ho knows a from a hand-saw,and a girls jvaiat from a mop-stick.

"A SfstSCtAftWitL.—A. man named J. de Dois Chacon, recently died at Lima, Peru, leaving a fortun^of-one million of dollars, all won at the gamirig table.

Time brings a philotophlc mind. Time takes more than ho loaves bohiiid,: Time is a thief of Joys, Tims turns our golden locks to grav Time draws a bill that all must pay-

Time makes old mcuof boys.

Time with his scythe and hour-glass stands To reap the harvest of our lands, To shorten prosperous days". Time eats the keenest steel to rust, Tim# crumbles monuments to dust,

Time robs us of our praldf.

Much fault is fbund with Kathor Time, 1 In books and speeches, proso and rhyme. But tr« will not upbraid iu u»» ion our nsart as young As when In youth wo laughed and sung

In sunlight and In shade.-
