Xot Smart Enough.

A Man With Twenty Wives,

LATE FOUEIGX NEWS.

The Turkish Government had contracted for 3(1.0,000 winter coals for soldiers.

The flatulent editor of the Indiana picblican, id Ilia last edition, has made several desperate efforts at smartness, but instead of,showing himself to be winy, he has only belched forth a few lose sayings, which when viewed by the aid of truth, must of necessity go to show both the recklessness of the writer, and his total disregard of truth. in attempting to smooth oyer .the fact of the total disregard of this portion of the. Agricultural district, in the preliminary arrangements pertaining to the late Fair, he says:

News by the Steamer America* Halifax, Sept* 30, Tho market for at Liverpool, has assumed a decided upward ten* dency, and was daily advancing, closing on Friday at tho highest figures yet attained. -

A man calling himself Dr. Win. Hunter, but whose real name is said to hi NaihanlefJ. Bird, is in jail at Camd$rt, N. J., on a charge of bigamy and varieps other charges. On Sunda}* Elizabeth Harrininn a lady of Philadelphia, visited him in prison, and ascertained that he was the man in whom she was married on the Oth of July laat. On the same day he .was v ip.ilrd by another Jafiy /rocn Kensington, named Alary Thomas, to whom he was married in May hl?t: It is also staled that he has a wife jn Reading, another in Wilmington, Del., and another yet in Philadelphia. The prisoner is only about 23 years of age, and, it is slated, declares that he has twenty wives, h statement which may be t;ue. as_mme than one fourth of that number h?s been found within a few days. It is alleged that he abandoned each wife soon after marriage, and that" ihpy never heard of him until after his recent arrest. The affair creates the great eft excitement, in Camden, and has induced an immense number of people to seek admUsiflfi fur the purpose of seeing 1 him.

YBYAY, INDIANA:' THURSDAY,: .OCTOBER 0, 1353,

The-Egyptian troop*, after being reviewed by tbo Sultan, were to march to ShumU.

All regular communication between Constantinople and the Russian pons is cut off, and warlike preparations in Turkey* canted on with unabated vigor, tbs troops working night and day building tonifications on the Danube.

.The advance of the week is variously estimated at from 6J to 7d per bush, on Wheat, and to 2son Flour.

'Corn was ip moderate request, and 1* quoted by various circulars at prices tanging from 30s to 37s. This new advance in Dreadslufls is attributed to the changeable weather in England, the increasing dimness of the Continental markets, and to the. threatening, aspect ol the Turkish dispute. Dealers in Beef and PorV were waiting the result of the award for the govern* mcnl contract. Barna was quiet hut firm.

ARRIVAL OF STEAMER BALTIC.

The Turkish army In the neighborhood of Varna is estimated at 00.0J0 ro£n, with 250 guns and fix batterries of heavy metal.- Two Turkish regiments had arrived at Dttaila, oh the lower Danube, on the 29th August.

New York/ Oct. 3.—The steamship Baltic arrived ijiis morning, with Liverpout dates of the 21st. The Cistern question is totally unchanged—The Vienna Conference is in session, and are attempting to smooth difficulties.

We printed six hundred hand hills and circulated them alt over Switzerland county, and in addition jo this the notice ol the Fair together with the premium list was published in the “Republican" for three months previous to the Fair being held, and .we presume that we circulate as many papers in Switzerland county as does Mr. Waldo.

Information to Claimants on the ■ United States.

We learn on inquiry'says the Washing--ton. 6Vor, that whim the Government sues .a.;party for the recovery of ,a balance found dus on settlement at the Treasury. and the United Stiles' Courts render ; judgment affirming a balance to be due by the United States ionite defend nt, the practice' unite"'Treat it ry. Department is simply to close, the account nh’ihe hooks, as having been petded by this judicial action.,'Thus, the Government forgives the debt virtually Which it'previously claimed. - and.leaves the claimant tu go to Congress for ah •(mierjoraho payment of the b«lanyej pwanlcdbim him by the Court, or oilier balance ,tvJiith ho may clajirtfd-;*? Again; after a claim has been rejected on iisLroerits by Congress, it cannot properly her.considered by' the accoutring officers of the Treasury. Such is 'thejpracticaj prevailing here. If the retail of (lie ‘fust-appeal ii» .Congrees' is - noi->ntisfactorvv of course the claimant .may,again oppeat-tp the same tribunal..

That the editor printed 600 hand bills, we do not deny; but we do not believe thev wore circulated nil over Switzerland county. We have never had the good fortune to see one, and perhaps wo have as good a change to see such things as the next person. Persons have inquired of us in regard to these things; but that is all. And the eight of ono of the COO, would bo a curioaty. We have not been able to find any person as yet who has been able to see the eight. Hence we conclude that they were not distributed in itiis portion of the county. ' As to the impudent statement, of the editor, that he circulates as many copies of the Republican in this county as we do of the Reveille, we have briefly I o' state—that he knew he was telling an untruth when he made it, and he sloops in this low meanness in order to hide hU unfitness ’for the responsible office he holds in the Agricultural Society. If the editor's entire circulation was as large as that of the Reveille in Switzerland county alone, he wou’d not hare to pursue other business to keep up his paper, as be say? be does. The Reveille affords us a good living and this fact alone refutes the statement of this condemned political aspirant. 'We could dispense with a? many subscribers as he has in this county, and-then nuke a living. Thus, taking him at bin own word, we have proved him a falsifier.

The foliowing ate the particulars of the recent daughter of eleven Americans by the Apache Indians already reported. A parly of fifty-one Americans, bound for California, reached Magofunsviltn about the 5th of August, and when within one hundred miles of that place, they were attacked by the Indians, who carried off thirteen of their finest horsey. On their arrival at Esteta, the Americans del. patched twelve of their company, mounted, in eearch of the stolen horses. Wlxen two day* out, they were met by the Indiana, in numbers from 150 to 200, who.surrounded them-and killed ten out uf the thirteen. Another of the parly ako died after teaching Alagoffinsvilic, from his wound*. . t-

The State Temperance Convention assembled at Madison on the 28th tilt. A largo delegation was pfespnt—delegates being there from all parts of the State.

Letters from Madrid say that another ministerial crisis is coming in Spain, and in the private and political circles tho propriety * of deposing the Queen is freely discussed. Paris.—' The Parria slates that the French government entertains confident hopes that the Turkish difficulties will be settled without an appeal to arms. The Palm adds that the .emperor of Russia will not comm epee hostilities,'but tho definite decision of Turkey coqnol be known in Great Brittain until the first or second week in October.

Tub Railroad.—Two weeks since we noticed tho fact, that a communication had appeared in a Cincinnati paper, favoring the construction of a railroad from Madison to Rising Sun. §<c„ <$'0., and we also announced a belief that the writer was a non-resident of this county.

A lew-.(jays previous, he had marrjed a nnthc hdy;‘ nml When the *misgaidcdgirl heard of Ids’cruel desertion, she became’ frenzied and dttermmed on fevenge.

She was taken into custody, and will hn tried lo-tlay, Thursday, the Gib. A good deal of sympathy is manifested in favor of the prisoner-

We were ted to the Utter conclusion, from the undnpfflable fact that articles verisimilar to the one in question, have been written in the city of Rising Sun, and palmed off upon the people of Switzerland county, as coming from her own citizens, Hence, when we observed the article in question — and seeing Xrhat a beautiful line It would m ike, to run along the river until almost in sight of Vcvay—•, and then taking up a hollow to die back portion of this county to,a stone qmry, and from thence to Rising Sun , we at once doubted the authenticity of'the document. *

The editor again says:

Mr. Jackson, the American Minister, has arrived at Vienna, and will deliver his credentials.to the Emperor at Olumbe.

The editor of the Reveille was authorized arid requested by the society .to publish every item of news in relation to the society that appeared in the Republican, and for which the society would" make him a liberal allowance. The above is f.dsc from beginning to end. The editors of the Reveille were neither authorized nor requested to copy but one single item in regard to the Sociiv. and that was the notice of an election of ulficer?. Thus, it will be seen that the editor ha? again misrepresented us; ;md proved himself to be unworthy ol confidence, and entirely ignorant of the larts in the cacc.

Recently, however, a paper published in an adjoining county, has founded forth the news dial “the writcris a Government ollicer, under the Pierce administration, and Hves in Switzerland county.” Then 0. A. Hotchkiss, Esq,, who hold* the •■Government office" of Post-Master Ky appointment from tho Fillmore administration, acknowledges tho authorship of the communication—and he is entitled to all due praise.' Now, this proposed railroad ia all moonshine. Even Esq. Hotchkiss is not so excited as to think seriously that euch a road will ever be built. We dnubt whether a half dozen men in Pleasant township, evep admit tho probability of this route. The shipping of alone from those lofty hills at the head of Indian creek, would hardly keep up a railroad. Dy the way, they hold a meeting oiil there the 15th of October.
