Hot krille, .Vor. 12, 1831 COMMPMCATEO. Died in Montezuma, on the 21st of September last, Maria Isabella, infant daughter and only child of Mr. James Nesmith, merchant of that place. Thus ha3 the cold hand of death borne from the arms of kind and affectionate parents, their only darling, yet in the tender bud of infancy. Although it is painful to part so soon with one so dear, jet it is a great consolation to know . that its change is a happy one. 'Sweet i the scene when vinti e dies, When sinks a chosen soul to rest, How mildly beam the closing eyes, How gently heaves the expiring breast! So fades a rammer cloud away.' So sinks the gale, when storms are o'er: go gently shut? the eye of day; So dies the wave aloog the shore. Triumphant smiles the victor brow, Fann'd by 6ome angel's purple wing; O grave, whe e is thy victory now! Invidious death, where is thy sting! A holy quiet reigns around; A calm which nothing can destroy; .Kaucrht can disturb that peace profound, Which their unfetter'd souls enjoy. Farewell, conflicting hopes and tears, Where lights and shades alternate dwell! How bright th' unchanging morn appears! Farewell, inconstant world! farewell! It duty done, as sinks thclay, Light,from its load the spirit flies; While heaven and earth combine to say, Sweet is 'he scene when virtue dies." On Tuesday last, in this place. Chambers, infant son of Austin M. Fuett. The last Indiana Journal is presented on an imperial sheet, greatly improved in its appearance. During the 6ession of the Legislature it will be published twice a week, which will give ample space for a complete de tail of legislative proceedings,- and will no doubt be a useful paper to those -ho wish to become acquainted with the politics of the State. The pros pectus of the Journal may be seen in another part of this paper. Georgia election. The election in this State has resulted m the choice of Mr. Lumpkin for Governor, over tiie present incumbent, Geo. R. Gil mer. The late tornado which visted the West India Islands with so great des truction, has caused the Government of f lay ti to open her ports to foreign Trade, A very extensive fraud has lately been discovered, which was practiced upon the bank of New York in 1S2G and 'ST. The sum of 10,000 had been taken from the Bank by a person, who at the lime, was acting as one of its chief clerks. The Crown, worn by the Queen f England at the coronation, is estimated at 111, 900; it weighs 19oz. 10 dwt. "Who would have supposed that so small a substance could possibly be worth such an enormous sum? We arc compelled to postpone the publication of the Report of the Free Trade Convention this week it shall appear a socu ss we can conveniently mike room for it. The subject of this report is one which involves the greatest interest of our country, and should therefore be well inquired into, in order that a more perfect decision may be made in regard to its utility in any shape, the cxtrnt to which it may be carried, and its constitutionality. FOnSIchl IIX2Y75. SUMMARY. For want of room to present our leaders with the full detail of fcreicn news we have been compelled ta embody the met interesting incUenhj in an imperfect summary The latest Intelligence, cast, a gloomy shade over the prospects of patriotic Poland. ' Skuynecki has resigned and Dcm-
biuski assumed the command oi the "patriot army of Poland." The spirit
of the army continues firm and conndent, rendered more so by the intelligence of revolt by several of the Rus sian provinces, A revolution bad broken out in Lisbon in favor of Donna Maria, but was suppressed by the troops of the tyrant Miguel. The Duke of Kent refused to attend the Coronation of King William, which took place on the 8th Sept. last. . The Reform Bill has at length passed the Committee. The report is to be brought up on Tuesday (Sept. 13th past) when the debate upon the general measure will be resumed. Great hopes are entertained for its final passage. v The head quarters of the Russian Imperial army was at Nadarzyn on the 23d August, and the outposts within two and a half miles of Warsaw. The first division of troops which Gen. Krutz is bringing to join the Field-Mar shal, had already crossed the Vistula. Report says that Prince Radziville had been sent as Plenipotentiary from the Polish National Government, to the Prussian head Quarters, to negotiate a peace. Another report says that Prince Radziville is appointea Viceroy of Poland under the sovereignty of Russia. ' The French troops sent to defend the independence and neutrality of Belgium, have returned. Admiral de Rigney, Minister of Marine, has been appointed Deputy to the Electoral College of Bologne, by an immense majority. A great fire took place in Pera, which destroyed 1800 houses, leaving 60,000 persons without shelter, with a total loss of their property. The Colera is still raging with all its fury in many places. The cities of Semlin, Hermanstadt,0fen and Persth average, each, 50 deaths daily, by this fatal malady. Extract from the communication of O. P. Q. to the Efitor of the London Morning Chronicle. However, the amendment was passed by a large majority: and now Lou is Philip is aware that the Deputies of trance, although they represent all the aristocracy and Rentiers, and only about one hundredth part of the Democracy, yet even these Deputies require and expect from his Majesty that, by one means or other by means of war or peace negotiations or cannon balls, the nationality and independence of Poland shall he assured; and mark ye! It is 44 Poland' which is spoken of. Not merelv the Dutchy of Warsaw but Poland the whole of Poland the Poland of history and now the Poland of heroes. Lithuania, A olhy nia, Podolia, the Ukraine, may hear this announcement with pleasure, with hope, and with confidence for, believe me, if, after this declaration of the old chamber, so temperately and almost so tearfully expressed, the nationality of Poland snould not be guaranteed there is not a man in France who would guarantee to the reigning Dynasty the possession of the Throne for the short space of one little week. If M. Perrier thinks that he has now the right of abandoning or saving Poland, as he may feel disposed, let him venture on the experiment, and he will find, that there is a tribunal from which he cannot escape, and that it is indeed dangerous to trifle with public opinion and national sympathies. If M. Perrieris really so respected and beloved by the despotic Governments of Austria, Prussia, and, above all, Russia, as she pre tends to be, then the moment.has nowarrived when they may prove affection by granting to Poland her indepen dence, without war, and without fur ther conflict. But it they shall refuse (o listen to his remonstrances, and shall dare France to the battle, let Monsieur Perrier assure himself, that if he will not accept the challenge for France, she will accept it for herself; for the voice of Fratice has pronounced the sentence, "La nationalite Polonaise ne perira pas." To the special affairs of Poland, I must now invite your attention. Some doubts were entertained a few days ago, as to the failure cf (Jen. Gielgud, in' Lithuania,' and as to the fictof his being made a prisoner Alas! those doubts are removed, and I believe the lamented fact cannot be doubted. Still, however the revolution in Lithuania has not terminated, and unless the Emperor .Nicholas still consents to grant to the provinces of Lithuania and Samogitia a constitution and liberty, he
will find that the spirit of the Revolution he will be unable to extinguish, and that when least prepared for its manifestation it will burst forth, again appeal to Poland and Europe for assistance. Warsaw is, it appears, nearly surrounded by Russian troops. The arrival of further forces is announced at Berlin with confidence, and on the Polish frontiers it is generally felt that Warsaw must capitulate be reduced to ashes or its population be starved to death. I am sometimes pleased to hope otherwise; to dream of final success; and to imagine that Poland will achieve and forever her own independence. But then I am reminded by those whoe knowledge is more local, and whose characters are less enthusiastic, that Russia has immense resources, that she can carry on campaign after campaign which Poland cannot do; that she can lose 100,000 soldiers and
replace them by the same number of barbarians, and that, as she is great and powerful, the capitalists of London and Paris will willingly lend her funds to crush liberty and establish despotism. To the present moment, indeed we have no certain intelligence which is unfavorable to the Poles with reference to the actual campaign; but let us even console ourselves with the hope that this campaign will terminate unfavorably to the Russian Army. And what then? If Great Britain and France are to allow of army after army, and campaign after campaign, how is it possible-for Poland to maintain her ground against such repeated and periodical massacrees? Let the British Government at least, set a bound to its fearfulness, its indecision, and its crueltv. Let the French Government do the same. If the Poles were assured that, provided the present campaign shall terminate in their favor, they would be recognized as an Independent Nation by Great Britain and France, they would make one vast and over whelming effort, which should annihilate their present assailants. But if, when this campaign shall be over another, and yet another, is to be allowed, then there is no end to oppression no boundary to despotism, and peace, humanity, treedom and the world are enslaved and beaten down by this barbarian Colossus. I pray you, then, exert yourselves in this matter, and enforce on the British Government the fact, that if Poland shall be crushed, all Europe will rise; ard that if it desires constitutional liberty, it ovist not goad the millions to an attack on all existing governments. The defeat of the Poles would end in the overthrow of Thrones, and the establishment of a thorough democracy. The British Government mav, by its interference for Poland, avoiil this result, but if it will not now interfere, I lie day will come when its mediation will be rejected. And what is to be done about Belgium? We have various rumors ailoaf. Ve are told that the occupation of Belgium by trench soldiers is not agreeable to the British cabinet. We are told that King Leopold perceives that the Protocol of the eighteen arti cles i not popular, and seriously thinks of abdicating. We are told that Ihc King of Holland requires the possession of Luxemhourgh, Maestricht, Vcnloo, and the left bank of the Scheldt, as well as the expenses of the war. We are told that he refuses to leave Maestricht, and refuses to leave tiie citadel of Antwerp; and that he refuses to sign his assent to the Protocol adopted by the Belgian Congress. How all these difficulties will be arranged for the moment we know not; but this we know, that all arrangements will be but momentary, which do not go touniting Belgium to France. Your obedient servant, O. P. Q. Supreme Court of the United States. This is an ultimate tribunal. Its decisions are final. It utters opinion and they become, parts and portions of the Law of ths Land. And yet the judges arc but men, actuated by like passions, swayed by similar considerations, capable of being moulded by the same truant dispositions as ourselves. Of what immense importance, then, it is to the whole country, that every intiucement to decide unrigtiteousiy, unliwfully, and contrary to their intelligence, should bf swept away from their presence, and that nothing should be left for the ores of their ambition to batten on, but the modest blazonry of the good citizen, who having pertormed his duty here, according to the dictates of his conscience, and the promptings of his judgment, has nothing to fear hereafter. . v A justice, seated on the bench of the Supreme Court of any state, and more especially that of the United States, should be dead to the excitation of all private prejudice- all partizan rivalry. There is nothing so totally at variance with the character of the judicial as completely opposed to the spirit of our republican constitutions nothing so humiliating nothing so offensive nothing that-, tends so much to lessen
our reverence for the character of a j
judge, as to find him, at one and the same moment, the arbitrator and par tizan the expounder of the law, and its would be executor. In short, one who, holding an office, which the peo-: pie, knowing their own frailty, have voluntarily left at the disposal of an individual, with power to elevate thereto, whomsoever he chooses,5 as mediator, for life, between man and man throws himself back into the turbulent tide of popular commotion, that he may be again perhaps raised to a higher or more conspicuous destiny. , These thoughts have glanced thro' our mind, 'whilst noticing some late attempts to draw from the United Slates' Bench of Judges its oldest and its youngest incumbent, and urging them into the political arena. . The Chief Justice, happily for the country, remains as immoveable as a granite mountain. The country demand of him that he should so continue adamantine and inflexible, a stern portraiture of an honest mans Judge McLean has also declined being made, for the present, the instrument of a party. Heaven grant him constancy. When the Justices' Bench of the Supreme Court becomes the stepping-stone to political aggrandizement, we may continue to boast of a Constitution, but we shall virtually possess, none.

Husk the corn as soon as gathered and put it in your granary or corn cribs, shel tered well from the wet. Be careful not to lay it too thick, if you do it will heat and spoillt should be well dried before it is put in fh. cribs, which should be so constructed as to admit the air through crevices in the sides, left open for, that purpose Feed out your pumpkins to your cattle before they are frozen. Dry your potatoes before you put them in your cellar, which snould be deep and close enough to prevent freezing. Gather in vour beens, beets, carrots, cabbages, parsnips and every thing worth saving, before the weather becomes cold. - Remember that a penny saved is as good as a penny earned ; and uthat many a little makes a mickle;" and always taking out of the meal tub and never putting in, soon comes to the bottom." Thrifty says he knows many farmers who waste every year the one half of what they raise, by leaving their crops exposed to thrir cattle and hogs, and by a total want of care and economy. He saves every thing and makes a little go a great ways. Instead of throwing his corn in the ear into the mud to be tread upon, mangled and destroyed by his iiogs and cattle, he shells it offof the cobb, and has it ground into meal, which he moistens with the slops of his kitchen, and will fat his hogs on one half the quantity of corn. By heating the water and boiling it into mush, it will go much farther. lie stacks his husks, and by covering them at the top with a few bundles of straw, keeps them dry and sweet, in short, every thing is put in its proper p!ace,and preservedin the neatest manner. He prides himself upon economy, order and neatness. His wife and daughters observe the same rules. In their work, their cookery, their persons and their dress, every thing is neat, tasteful and wholesome. Every thing is in its place, and every thing done as it ought to be donc. By observing method in all they do, they have leisure enough to make and receive visits, and to improve their minds by reading good books.
