■New Plank. —Ry a recent party vote in the Indiana House of Representatives, the Old Liner* adopted the principle that ministers of the Gospel should not receive any compensation for their services—making it a criminal offence to receive pay for preaching. Wc had supposed that the absence of a Sabbath law in the Statute book was an unintentional omission; but this last net reveals the real cause, a state of affairs wo-regret to chronicle. 'Hits class of politicians seem determined on using their inllucnce to ‘'stop the feed" of all Gospel ministers. Put a week or two since, one Humphrey introduced a resolution, removing any penalty upon those who shall disturb the progress of Divine Service—giving any ruffian or drunkard an opportunity to get up ami dispute the word of ministers. In view of such acis by the old liners, is it any wonder that the clergy almost ; unanimously refuse to longer countenance, aid or act with such a party?

Washington, Feb. . The Senate ia not in session. ( Hocec.-—The House look up and pis* fed tho thirty-six private bills reported by the committee ot the whole yesterday. 1 ' The. House then went into Committee of tho AVhole on the private calendar. The first bill on the list was that ex* tending Colt’s patent for improvement in I tire-arms for* seven years, A motion f was made to lay it aside, on which a hJnglhy discussion arose on the charges of bribery made at the last session, and the report of the Committee appointed to investigate the matter. The Committee refused to lay tho hill aside—yeas 29; nays not counted. The discussion on the testimony was then continued up to adjournment/

(For Ih) Weekly KJVellle. Letter from the Brack*Wood*. ■ ; Back-Woods, Jan. 28, 16o5.’ Messrs. Editors: —It is but seldom that I indulge my»e]f in that species of diversion commonly called adventure, A naturally quiet temperament, ns well as want of leisure forbids it; but on a beautiful morning of last week, which—although in the dead of winter—seemed like a morning in Spring—so brightly shone the stm —so balmy and refreshing was the air—and prompted hy the hilarity of the occasion and a need of recreation —1 started out in quest of incident and exercise.

Mr. Griggs replied to the Senator from Shelby. He denied that liqopr could be retailed under the original bill. Hie object of the bill was to prevent tbis—to prevent groceries—to prevent men from following the business for a livelihood, lie acknowledged that foreign liquors (the law complied with) could be sold, Mr. Brown responded. He hoped the democrats would not hesitate to act on this bill, nicy had been charged with being the whiskey! tes; and he hoped no obstacles would be thrown in the way of the friends of this measure. He contended, however, that the bill was nothing more than to establish genteel groceries where foreign liquors could be sold. Mr. Griggs replied by saying that it imported liquor was sold it would have to he sold in the same casks or packages, ami in the same quantity, in which it was imported. If the Senator could establish groceries under this provision he could trv it.

Aboa id of the cars, I was scon traversing the county of Putnam. By tho way, Putnam is the land of pork. Irijmcme quantities of' hogs arc raised hole and either slaughtered or driven oft for this purpose to other markets. Owing to the late failure in the corn crop the stock business has become stagnant. The season has been quite dls-artruns to the pork merchants. 'J1ie slaughtering and packing establishments me nearly all closed. But this is a digression. Rapidly wc llew along past the grand old hills!—through majestid forests, now .stripped of their summer foliage—now in the midst of deep ravines — now over narrow bridges—in a manner truly frightful to behold.

I Suffice it to say, the few hours which remained of my slay passed by on swift wings, and the time of departure arrived with many regrets. I could only say good hyc and promise at some future day to return. And here, worthy sirs, 1 will say farewell. Yours truly, Koto,

"Go it while # yol- Can." —Senator Slater introduced a bill on the 7th to break up the Know Nothing lodges in Indiana. It declares it a conspiracy for persona to band themselves together under solemn oaths for the purpose of depriving any citi::cn of the State of political rights. The true interpretation of the bill would be, that "it shall hereafter Le considered conspiracy, ami punished accordingly, fur persons in this State to declare solclmly that they prefer native bom citizens to fill their offices, dispense justice, and make laws, than those of foreign birth." Our latest dales from Indianapolis give no account of the above bill having become u law.

The amendment and substitute wore lost, those who voted in favor of it were. Mcs-trs. Brookshire, Brown, Drew, GJazcbrook, Hostetler, Jackson of T. t M’CJeary, Mansfield, M allies, Reynolds, Richardson of Spencer, Shields, Slater, ami Spann—Id—nays JO.

The Prohibitory Liquor Law. ITS PASSAGE IN* THE SENATE. In the Senate of the Indiana LcgiiJa-, Jure, on the Gth* inst., the prohibitory [liquor law, tho substance of which* wc published last week, passed by a vote of 20 lo 18. Wc give a synopsis of the debate upon the bill at tho time of its passage. It will no doubt be of mow interest to the readers of the Rbveilu: than other matter we might select: The Temperance bill was then taken l T* . ., ' Mr. Brown said he looked upon this :is the most important bill of the session. He came hereto vote for a strong temperance law. To that he would, not prove false. But there wore some provisions in this bill which did not suit him and many other good temperance men in the Slate, Senators’ minds were | no doubt already made up, and, to test the merit of this bill, ho moved to strike out from the enacting clause, and insert a substitute which he held in his hand. , I The substitute’was read by the clerk. ! Mr. Suit regretted that the bill was taken up at the present lime. It was only printed and laid on the table yesterday. He liad not had time -to read it. He looked upon it as the next-to the most important question to bo met this session. The groat mass of the, moral-portion of on.* people desired:a strong prohibitory law, it was true, and it was equally true that there was a large.number of good, ; sober;citizens -opposed toil. If a law was passed it should bo; one that would meet the approbation of the people. - i Sir,; Shook did apt fool prepared to vote ph/cithor j bill, at lire present moment, committee’'did some pafliculafs/ and hc coiild not vote for it without belng/antended;, hoped it would-be sapf ( nonnecessity for tie- ™ p 9rtc£u t > m era s - h^^*^^ndmg' : 'bcfdr^tlib'' legislature: there impVrt ah {.'elections' to I come'off loo’aml it was his opinion that if the hill did not pass now, we would go without any temperance lacy for the mutt two years., He tmsled tho bill introduced by the cbmmillco would be acted iipon immediately. The Senate were as 'well prepared lo act now as at any subsequent ; day. j Mr. Griggs thought there was a demand for a strong prohibitory law. The 'committee had reported one, and he was prepared to vote for it. He was opposed :to the substitute. It merely re-enacted > the old license law with a few immaterial jprovisions.- It legalized doggeries. It piovidcd that bedding must be found; j that is, that, when a* man got drunk at a place where the liquor was sold, ha must 'have a bed prepared to lay him in. It {legalizes the sale of liquor, thoughitprotvided it should not ho sold in less than one mite of a camp meeting. If it was good to sell It at all, It was as good bn a j camp meeting ground as in a mile of it. 1 Mr. Slater hoped the question would bo met now. The temperance people wore waiting for a law, and now when the Legislature could give them one, he hoped nothing won* ho thrown in the way.

Mr. Cass said when, some Tears ago, the legislature of Michigan , instructed her delegation in Congress to vote for the Wilmont Proviso, he said he should resign when called upon to act, and the legislature repealed those instructions, and he, therefore, nnl not resign. He >nid in the profent case lie would neither follow* those instructions. nor resign, and proceeded to state his reasons. ifr, fjtcwart raid, “.sufficient unto'(In day w the evil ; Iheieof," and when the projier lime arrived he should K* prepaa-1 , Vl i^.Vf».®ud. uidil then it was itunccessai v to trouble the Seriate with any rciinuk* on the subject. Several other lucmorials were presented. .

To Arms!—To Arms!! lUISHMEX TO Amis !!! Do not he alarmed, kind reader, at the above war-like caption. No serious outbreak has yet taken place; nor have wc heard of any attempts by the much-abused "Know-Nothings’* to organize a war to exterminate the adopted Irish citizens! Nothing of this kind is anticipated—but the above heading is used by one John Mitchell, in an editorial article in the last number of hie paper, the New-York Citizen. He gives the following advice to the military companies (composed of foreigners) who were recently disbanded in. Massachusetts, by order of the State authorities, lie savs:

Sir. Suit said if the question was (o be met now he should most assuredly vote against its passage.- He objected to that feature which authorizes agents lo sell liquor. Ho characterized this as no letter than legalizing grog shops. Mr. /Woods explained. He denied that the hill:granted.the selling-of liquors as a beverage in any shape or. under any circumstances. *

11 may be thought that but little could be noticed in d short ride of six miles on a Hying train; but in llte.se few moments thoughts were suggested, which if written, would fill volumes. In the car were sights r»f nit descriptions. Hitman nature exhibited itself in a variety of forms. Society,- in its several departments, was fully represented. There was the meanly clad, led-faced, though honest-hearted son of Erin, whose countenance is always full of smiles and good humor; there was the well-dressed city dandy; the honest farmer; the haughty millionaire, and the humble minister.

■ Mr. 8ml objected to permitting foreign liquors to to sold. He said there was nothing to compel men - to*sell tficse foreign liquors in the same quantity ns imported. If.a* man imported fifty hogsheds there was nothing to prevent him from selling, one of them. He would vote for.no bill, which permitted its manufacture! or sale. He * objected to spine further features, and moved -tlnil it be made the special order : at some subsequent day.:. ■ ;>•*. : . ilr. Bla’or- moved to amend ■ by providing that the agent should be elected by the people, : ‘ ■ Mr. Brown suggested another amendment,' that beds should-bo provided hy these agents, as many sick .men would be found around these houses.

jt*T Her Britannic Majesty’s ship plover lias been since 1 i?4S ice-bound in the Polar Sea?. She had boon accustomed before that to put into San Fransisco, then a small trading station, and contained only a few small homes. Coming buck from its temporary me home, the captain sailed into the harbor, ns formerly, without pilot, in the evening. His surprise can imagined, to find it a city of considerable magnitude. He know nothing of the Mexican war, ami other events that had transpired during his sojourn in the Arctic regions.

"For every musket given in to the Sta.e Armory, let three le putchastil forthwith; let independent companies be formed, thrice as’ numerous os the disbanded corps—there are no Arms Acts here yet —and let tvery * foreigner” I* drilled and trained, and kart hit arms ahrays ready. For you may be very sure f having some experience in the matter,) that those who begin by disarming you, mean.to do you mischief. \ . "Be careful not to truckle m the smallest particular to American prejudices.

'It is hardly to be conceived that madness of faction and the insolence of race, .will proceed to such a length as to disarm independent companies, or private men. If they do, then the Constitution is at an eml—rthe allegiance you have stevrn to this Jtepublie is annulled. Would to God that thoughtful ami just Americans would bethink themselves ■ in time. They are strong; they far outnumberthe fo.eign born; they arc proud and flushed with national glory and prosperity; donbllcss they can, if they will, do . great and grevions wrong to a race that has never wrong them:—but seriously, ami earnestly, we assure them, the naturalised citizens mil not submit. This senseless feud must be reconciled; there must be peace;—peace cr a war of extermination. \Vc are here, on American ground, either os citizens, or as enemies.

The all-engrossing topic of conversation was t'tate Stock money. The tier* aj.-t maledictions were called down upon the poor bankers, and I verily believe, if: human agency were available (hey would j all soon be doomed indiscriminately to j the lowest pit. One poor fellow who sat near me was a peculiar object of commiseration. As the Conductor passed i along to collect the fare, he takes from Ids pocket a huge roll of bank hills, from | which cue was selected and given to the j Conductor, who pronounced it State 1 Stuck of the fourth class. Another was | 1 mndtd back in the same manner; and a third shared no bettor fate. And the honed old man looked blank with amazemeat when he was told that Jus, whole j fortune, with which ho Iio]hx1 soon to! obtain a home in the fur west, coindited \ of bills which he could got rid of only at a discount of 25 per cent. Messrs, Editors, if you have occasion to travel I by rail road, my advice is—let tin stuff alone. I have known instances where travelers were compelled to conic to a sudden halt because their cash wus all "bogus/’ The shrill whistle announced that the "wild horse" had brought us safely to the station, and 1 left the train heartily glad to be once again on terra firm a—for, as this is the newest, it is also the roughest and most dangerous road to travel on of any in the State. The whistle shrieked again and away went the train like a rampant animal, mmbling towards the south'—while I started on foot a- short distance through the woods to the house of a friend, where I was received with true Kentucky hospitality—and invited presently to partake of a snraptnous turkey dinner; which, it seems to mo would cause an editor to smile, or even satisfy the appetite of the veriest epicure in existence.

Mr. Woods said thefricn V of temperance expected all thisl They would “in’ patience possess their spulri.” lie would however, say to his friends,* that it was his opinion nothing coiihh'l*c gained hy delay. He hbpotl (he question would be met now. He therefore moved, to lay the amendment on'thc table,-which car- • •. - • •'

Mr. Hrown said the original bill authorized the sale of liquors—that it licensed two in each township to sell liquor. Ho objected to it because it included^eider—that it discriminated in favor of the lordly by permitting the importation of foreign liquor—that any one could get np a general liquor establishment, that the search nnd seizure provision was unconstitutional—that ho proposed in his amendment to do away with the dram shops—that no man shall sell to one who is in the habit of getting drnnk, and the gcnllaman . should bo the 'last man to make these charges against his hill. Sir. Bpann believed several provisions in the committee’s bill to be unconstitutional. Ho thought it ought to bo referred to tlia committee on the judiciary, so that these provisions might undergo an investigation.

I must not forget to mention some curious phenomena winch exhibited themselves the next morning about' daylight. It .was,what might ho termed an anomaly in nature. At least it was very strange nnd unusual, considering the season of the year. First it commenced raining in' torrents. This in a little while turned j to snow, and soon the ground was covered with a' thick white coat. In the* meantime, even while it snowed, the thunder rolled with torrilic noise—the lightning Hashed vividly—and the wind blew a perfect hurricano—equal to any thunder storm in midsummer. The beautiful sunshine of the day before had disappeared, and a grand squirrel hunt which had been anticipated was of necessity abandoned.

But tho disappointment was changed into joy by tho intelligence that a fail friend from old Switzerland was in the neighborhood, whom I delerriimed tc visit immediately. .Urged on by the desire of seeing and conversing with one so lately from my native place, I walked rapidly over the hills, and soon had the pleasure of grasping fair Lucy by the hand.
