The papers of Cincinnati seem to have taken ajann at the probable diversion of Indiana trade from tneir city, likely to result from the narrow policy of tha money brokers, and the course of her newspaper press, respecting Indiana hanks. As if to add insult to injury, the papers of that city aro now endeavoring to convince the merchants and traders of this State, that they ought not to regard the fact that their neighbors and associates, who may. have invested their capital in banking, have been stlgmatiicd as khaVea and; scoundrels by the vernal brokets and editors of the "Queen City; 1 ’ —This class of our citizens are soothingly told, that they "had no interest in this mailer"—that these "epithets did not apply to them," Ac., Ac. A Vo misifikb the sagacity of our people if they are to be caught by such 'Isoft talk." Indiana has been charged with thrusting upon the country a worthless currency, which she had not the ability or disposition to redeem—with an intention to defraud the public—her best men—many of them—have been slandered and injured by the villainous war upon her banks—-and yot all this "mearU. noth* ing. —By a resolution of the free bankers of this State, it. will be seen that they have resolved to redeem all their notes at the city of Indianapolis in eastern exchange. This will bring the matter home and settle the question Upon abasia which fully exonerates these institutions from the gratuitous charges made by the Cincinnatians.

Listen! How sweetly the old hell rings out upon the evening air!—-I sit in silence at my open window and muse- The ! calm night breeze blows gently and the j curtain moves lightly to and fro —Listen! I again that familiar sound peals loudly I away from yonder steeple. Its trumpet 1 tongue breathes eloquence—and echoes the thoughts of many a burdened soul, longing for the realities of a blessed immortality. Its deep-toned symphonies awaken bright memories of the past —yes memories which shall exist with the mind until hoary age shall creep with stealthy pace along. I am led imporccptably back to the days when childhood cast the garb of innocence around me. The tame scenes which now surround me, were familiar then; the same hill upon which I now gaze, then skirted my native village; the same majestic river flowed on in solemn silence at its side; the stream on whoso beach 1 have so often wandered, and played in childish glee; the same moon which even now, with her glancing beams, silvers .o’er the smooth and placid waters, then [excited in me an innocent wonder. How beautiful are unsullied' memories! what sweet rcccollcclions cluster around the past!

¶ It becomes our duty to-day, to record one of the most inhuman deeds that ever disgraced the annals of our times. It is no less a crime than the cold blooded mnrder [murder] of a young boy, by a burly man in the streets of Covington, in broad day light. We visited our sister city this morning, to learn the particulars of this horrible affair, and from the Sheriff of the county we were informed that as near as the facts are known, they are substantially as follows: ¶ Yesterday afternoon, about 5 o’clock, Samuel, (aged about eleven years) son of Shadford Easton, a highly respectable citizen of Covington, was returning from school in company with a number of his mates, and on the way were playing "shinny." When near the comer of sixth and Craig streets, a quarrel, from some slight cause, commenced between the school children and a German lad whom they met. On seeing the alterca tion, a large German named Fortman, who resides in that locality came out and commenced abusing the school-boys. Young Eastman, being a spirited lad, resented the. insults, in words, until they came too thick for him to bear—when in retaliation for being called "a d—d little American son of a b—h," Easton hit the burly Dutchman with his "shinny stick." Upon this the savage monster wrenched the stick from the lad, and with one blow on the temple laid him senseless on the ground. Not satisfied with this, he actually stamped and kicked him as he would a venomous reptile. ¶ The bruised and mangled child was carried home, and died in two hours after, in spite of the combined skill of a number of the best physiciens [physicians]. ¶ The perpetrator of this outrage was immediately arrested and confined in jail. This morning the Grand Jury, which is in session, received a special charge with reference to this case, and retired at ten o’clock.

jJ5TThe election is at length past- Itj has been from all accounts from different j ports of the stale, and they sre numerous and varied, probably the most exciting canvass the present generation has seen in Indiana. From one part wo learn of a magnificent torchlight; from another of a glorious, rally; form another direction we have the sovereigns gathering together in multitudes; and still another the temperance armies come flocking in like the armies of Israel, with their banners streaming in the breeze, and music that makes the air vocal with sweet and harmonious sounds. In fact for the' last two months the people have boon agitated, the temperance question has been agitated; and numerous ore the subjects* that have been agitated in that time, which have, scarcely been equalled in number by the agitators; It has been a well fought battle by all the combattants, tlicy lave fought with the determination to triumph, or perish in theirglory. Itis pastnnd as soon ns the general excitement shall have subsided the moral sky .cleared off and the returns in, wc expect to sec things go on in their usual quiet way, but not without many changes in the political affairs of the state.

The news from - the, mines continues favorable. • j;* :: The Southern imhcs' are: more successful than ever, ■v : ;.v . Overland cmlgrants are.arriving, but not as numerously as in former years.

The anavereary of the admission of California into the .Union was sdebrated at San Francisco with great pomp on the, 9th. * - ' •

But what is the duty of the Indiana merchants and traders? Manifestly to leave -Cincinnati alone. If they wish to make large purchases, and must go out of the State, let them go to New York, Philadelphia, or any other of the Eastern going there they may save all Cincinnati, profits and charges, fint if they call not do so, wo would suggest the propriety of replenishing their stocks in tneir own State* New Albany, Madison, Evansville, the., affords os good markets to merchants for the purchase of many articles as Cincinnati,— Our great railrood will soon open to us the St, Lonis market, which is undeniably the best for the purchase of groceries, <fcc,, in the West. Louistilld, too, offers many inducements; hut wd do not think her Business men are making any very great efforts to secure trade to thciV city* Now is the time for her to strike for the Indiana trade. If wo cannot be supplied at home, then let tis go among our friends abroad—-not among those who grasp, after our trade and denounce ns os' villains, little better than thieves. Our motto is, "Indiana first, last, and ail the time," and if our own cldcs dont furnish ns the requisite amount of supplies, there arc those beside Cincinnati who Gazette.

But hark! what harsh discordant sound is that which greets my ear? How strangely it echoes on the silence! How different from , the thrilling notes of an hour ago! it is the voice of rioters, of re* speclaUe young men, who choose the midnight hour, in which to do their deeds; and whom the mornings dawn finds skulking away from their haunts of vice—Listen! hear you that wild and senseless whoop echoing along the streets? That is the familiar voice of one whom I once respected, yea even loved as a brother and j fellow laborer in the cause of truth; he is I fallen, the demon has marked him for his Iprey.

Then has 'been more Indian massacres among the overland emigrant* for Oregon.

¶ The most intense excitement prevails among the people of Covington in relation to the affair—so much so, indeed, that it is feared by many law abiding citizens that in case the excited populace obtain an opportunity of executing their designs, the criminal will be lynched. — Cin. Times 7th.

Burning ol the E. K. Collins. Detroit, October 9.

The steamer E. K. Collins left here last night with a large number of passengers from Bank St.. Mario for Cleveland. She took fire cbout| midnight near Molden; arid was soon enveloped in flames. There Was great consternation among the pass* fingers, ij)ostof whom were asleep, and many plnnged into the water. Twenty thre passengers 'and fiften of the - crew perishfid by fire drowning.

The Reciprocity Treaty.

A Waslungton correspondent of the Journal of Commerce says it is rumored in the northern papers, that New Brunswick and Nova Seocia nrc reluctant to try the experiment pf free intercourse. I mentioned in my last that the provisions of the Treaty in regard to the fisheries, would go into complete effect, whether the Colonial Governments of those Provinces assent to the treaty or not.—That is the fact, and their exclusive right to the fisheries is gone. , The Treaty secures ' to the Inhabitants of the United States, : fishery; privileges quite equal to. thoso they enjoyed under the Treaty of 1783The Provinces named have the undoubted right, by refusing their ascent to the Treaty, to deprive themselves of all the benefits of the Treaty. They may, if they ohoose, insist that their coal and other products shall ’ pay a duty to the United States.

Young man beware! Thy character is not unknown to the world; and think not that darkness will hide thy actions, for there is one allsceing eye that can penetrate the darkest deed.

The Covington Murder Case.

¶ The Grand Jury on Saturday found a true bill against Fortman, for the murder of the child of Mr. Easton, and the trial was fixed for the 19th inst. On Saturday night a large concourse, surrounded the prison, and many were so excited that it was feared the prisoner would be executed on the spot. By the active interference of the Mayor and a number of old citizens, the crowd was dispersed. It is now generally supposed that no further demonstrations of this character, will be made.

Then come forth and prove yourself to be a man; in the name of humanity and truth be a man. Let memory bear you hock to the days of innocence, long ere you thought of the intoxicating howl; think of your happy childhood, when vou played with your fellows on the school-house green; think of the tears of sorrow you are causing to flow; think of the drunkards grave and the drunkards doom: then for the sake of a broken-hear-ted mother, for the sake of those who look to you as a protector, for the sake of your own immortal interests, be a man.

Santa Anna Swearing the Mexican Army.

■ Santa Anna has been engaged in d magnificent glorification over the anaversaryof some great victory, which he Bays was gained twenty-five years ago on the banks of the Panneo. In the course of this pagentiy he called npon the Mexican army to take the following oath: ••let ns swear to reinvigorate with om! blood, if it should be nccssary, the sacred tree of independence; swear to mo that, taught by the bitter deceptions of the past you will always be ready to consecrate on the alter of your country tha noblest offering, the sacrifice of your independent hearts. Let this be so, and I ask no other recoinpese, if victory should bo with ns as on the memoriable Hth of September 1829, than alear of grailudo, a teodor remembrance, and a flower on the tombstone af my sepulcher. ■ . If the Dictator could, in addition to this oath of the Mexican soldiery, have induced Genera! Scott to swear that ho would never lead another American army from Vera Cruz to the city of Mexico, he might have considered himself tolerable safe.— There are few sensible Mexicans who would not have felt more comfort from Scott’s oath than from that of the Mexican brves.
