A Whole Family Murdered. ATROCIOUS MORDER AT 'WABASH, INDIANA. We learn from the Wabash GaitUc, of the lllh inst, of the discovery, in the vicinity of that place, the bodies of an i entire family, who, it is supposed, were jmurdorcd some time ago, by a mannam* ;ed Hubbard and his wife; both of whom arc at present in the Wabash jail, charged with the murder of a man named Bogles. It seems that some time in September last, this.Hubbcrd family went to board with* a family named French, who then lived In the cabin since occupie I by the Hnbbprd's. • - This French family consisted of seven persons, the father, mother and five children. They were a very poor family that had been living in the neighborhood six or seven years, and were well known by all the neighbors. Some time in October, Mr. Lewis, a near neighbor went to the cabin of French to purchase his com.

[for Ure Weekly HerelUe. An Important Invention. Wkmihctom Citt, April 10,1855. Miu Ed iron;—I perceive among the published list of patents issued from the United States Patent Office, for the week ending the 3j inst., is one to our enterprising and energetic fellow-citirens, "William J. Keener and James R. Tatbos, of Switzerland county, Iml., fot improvement in rakes and hay elevators." *' ' ' .

The alias did not insist on the - destination of Sebastopol, but they proposed other conditions disagreeable to Russia, Advices from Odessa say, that notwithstanding the repeated stacks, tho Russians maintain their position on Mount Liponne, from whence.their guns play opon the French lines. ;

The inventions in agricultural implements for the last ten yean, have becn-tcry numerous, particularly in that branch relating to the cultivation of hay, and curing and preparing Ihewme for market., Loter-naving machines hare been luccessfolly introduced into all the various grades of labor required, from preparing the ground for the seed, to its being baled and got ready fat shipment to market, except one;, and that is, the laborious and tedious manner of taking the bay, after being-cut, from the ground, into we i- on i this is dene altogether, by forks and main etrength of hand. This desideratum is now supplied. From the motions of the model of the "Elevator," which 1 witnessed, I incline to the opinion that this machine will effectually supply the wants of our bay raisers in its particular office, and will greatly lessen the force, as well as the time, required to take the hay, when cut, from the ground, into the wagon. From the best calculation I was able to make, ! think one man, assisted by a boy to drive the’team, with the "Elevator" can take from the ground, into the wagon, one ton of hay in ten minute's time. 1 do not design going into a full description of this important and ingenious improvement at this time, my object being simply to call the attention of hay growers to its distance, and to express the hope that all who feel an interest in such improvements will examine it for themselves. • I understand that the cost of a machine will no: exceed fifty dollars, Oliver Dusoca.

The steamer Canada arrived at Liverpool on her outward passage on the 29th. In this general aspect of the affairs in the Crimea, there is no important change. Public attention tfas concentrated on the proceedings of the Conference at Vienna; the advices from thence say that great difficulty was experienced in regard to agreeing upon the third point, although tho demand of the Allocs had been much modified, yet the Russian plenipotentiary had referred their demand to St. Petersburg, and nothing farther could be done until.a reply was received from thence. . Tho French Minister of Foreign .affairs had been to London to confer with - tho English Cabinet upon the momentous question. 1 ; It was thought the Conference at Vienna would disenss tho fourth point, pending tho reply from Sl Peterabnrgh; .

Wews Item a, Bostos, April 12. . The Grand Jury have found indictments against Crptain Wentworth of the schooner A. Harper and crew, for felonoosly attempting to destroy the vessel’ at eca, by boring holes in her bottom to sink her, with the intention of defrauding the* Collumbian Insurance' Company, of Charleston, S.

He was met at the fence in front of the cabin by the Hubbard's, and was told that the night before Mr. French's brother had come along with a wagon and had taken Sir. French’s whole family with him, and had started for Illinois, and that they had purchased all their things, including the com, garden, and furniture. A day or two afterwards, Mr. Steames Fisher went over to inquire if the French’s needed any assistance, and was met in the same way by .the Hubbard’s, and was told the same story. No suspicions were entertained at the time that foul play bad been used, and nothing occurred until tho after the body of Bogies had been found and the Hubbords were arrested. It then began to be thought that these monsters had murdered the whole family. This led to farther investigations, which resulted in tho discovery of the entire French family buried in a large pit, dug beneath the floor of the cabin.

Omcr Pasha arrived at the allied camp on the 12th March. On the-following day the Russians opened a fire from the bights ofBalaklaVa upon the allied forces. The English with the assistance of Gen. Knoyss, routed them. On the 17th the Russians attacked the whole line of the allies, when a fearful straggle ensned, in.which the Russians were defeated with great loss. The alliance between Sardinia and the Porte, was signed on the 15tU Preparations were being-made on a grand scale at Constantinople to receive Napoleon; meantime it- was announced that both him and the Empress Eugenie were to pay a visit to.

To the Point Ucr. Dr. WiLLUMso.H speaXa as follows, in I he last number of the Otupel Hen Id. He taker a correct view'of the subject; 1 " Our positfon in regard to the Calfcoli's is simply this; They are men, like others, and when admitted to citizenship, are entitled to >»• the rights, privileges and imnrenitieaof American citizens.; ■ Theyshonld never be persecuted, nor treated in anji other spirit than that of love and good :will.. They should be allowed to worship Qod according to the dictates of their owii consciences, having none 10 molest or make them afraid, and should ’suffer no disabilities or penalties' whatever on account ofauch fealty to conscience or duly. This wc consider full and free toleration, and we extend '. it alike to Catholics and Protestants* of every name and denomination. So much for religion, and now for politics.'. If

the Mormon chooses to baptise his political opinions in the name of religion, that is bis business, not ours.' If he holds his fealty to Joe Smith to be superior to his obligations to the State, ta ds it is a political htrety, and so long as he holds it we will not give our vote for any office. If he tells us it is a matter of conscience with him, we answer we also have a conscience; and will not violate it in his fivjr. Add so of the Catholic. .We will not throw a feather in the way of the full enjoyment of hut' religions liberty. But when he .asks,ns to vote for him in an election to office, we inquire 1 about his political opinions. If we find him a' monarchist instead of a republican, or if be holds his allegiance to a foreign K-kstsIc’ superior to' his allegiance to our government; or if he'claims that the spiritual is above the temporal .'power, that is a political heresy, and no man who holds it shall have our vole,' >Bui; sir, it is a part of my ri%i5n to obey the Chnrch and the Pope! So ninth the worse. If your political heresies cdnstUute a pari of jour religion, they are no part of pun, and we treat them as we would any other dangerous political doctrines.

Their skulls were all broken in. and the legs of the of French and bis wife were broken so that they could bo doubted up and forced into the hole, which was three or four feet deep. They were laid in a heap, the father, and mother at the bottom, and the children oa top. The children were much decayed, hntthe parents were still sound and were easily recognised by those who had known them. There is no doubt in the minds of the citizens of Wabash as to who the perpetrators of this horrid deed are. The Habbaeds are still in jail, awaiting their trial.

IP* An investigation is now going on in Cincinnati before the Coroner, to ascertain how young -Drury came to his death on election day at the 11th ward riot. Tbo facts are coming Ontario how the r:o*s originated, corroborating the account we gave last week. We subjoin a couple of extracts from the testirao ny before the coroner: John Earheart testified. He saw a young German kicked, abused, hooted at, and made to run away from the Ninth Ward polls by some Germans, one of whom was a watchman; when he remonstrated with the watchman for rather countenancing Ibis conduct, he said : " What business has a Dutchman voting the Know Nothing ticket.” About 11 o’clock. Mr. Clayton, and himself went up near the polls; Housman, a watchman, tried to get into a quarrel with them, but they refused to talk with him; he told the Germans in.their own language, "that (hey were d —d Know Nothings, and to watch them.”

' Advices from Canton say the insurgents were gaining ground. - Advices from Spain say that Esparloro resisted the demand for a democratic modification of the Constitution. Affaire at Madrid were tranquil. The allies, though not demanding the destruction of Sebastopol, yet require that tho Russian power in the Black sea be reduced , offering in return, to evacuate the Russian territory; hut it Seems the Russian Minister had no power.to actin this matter, and had to send for-further lions. All the other pl-jnipotentrorie? had also sent to their respective governments for instructions... On the 26 th, Gortschakoff had moved: that; Prussia be admitted to participate in the convention. The Crimea special: correspondent of the London Times, describes the condition of the army as much imp roved, hut that in thouctual works of the siege, no progress had been made to justify any favorable predictions. - A foimiable Russian force had .assembled around virtually besieges tho place, but the Russians, if they took it, could not hold it, os the fortresses are entirely commanded by-the English squadron, . - , ■ :. ; The' latest dispatch from Lord Raglan, says a steady fire was kept up, but without changing tho aspect of afiairsi Important operations-wero going on, however. The Russians continued to strongtficn their works, and had thrown up an advance redoubt at Molakoff tower, and in efforts made for ita destruction, nightly encounters occurred betweenThe French and Rusaans, but, Thongh the latter were repulsed, they again returned under the fire of the guns of the fortress. - - -

It is understood that the Conference at Vienna bad agreed upon tho two first points, and the critical third point was. under consideration; upon the question peace or war depends; .and would occupy several days. , Sardinia is in the English market for a loan of two millions sterling at four per cent. .. ...

: A Genuine .Reform* We have before .ns a , copy of the Type of the Tints, published in Omcin- ; nati, 0., by Longloy Brothers, a firm of five young men of energy, who are engaged in promoting the Phonetic or Spelling Reform, by the publication of Books andPeriodicles in the reform and scientific orthography. Tho Type, of the Tims is a mammoth sheet, of good paper,-well printed, and made up into sixteen fourcolumn pages, convenient alike for reading and preservation. A limited portion of it is printed with the new Alphabet, which any one can read after a’ few minutes observation; hnt the body of the paper is filled with judiciously prepared matter, in the common spelling, for tho patronage of the reading public. By the list of Phonetic Books advertised in the Timet, we judge the Spelling Reform is mating permanent progress. Besides a series of Phenotypic School Readers, and instruction books for the study of Phonetic Shorthand, wo observe the New Testament, Biographies of the Presidents of tho U. S., and an essay on Money Getting and Money Spending, <fec. There is also in course of publication a largo Phonetic Dictionary; to be ready by September next. The merit of this system consists in having a distinct letter for each sound in the language, and in always representing each'sound by tht same letter. All that is necessary in learning to read, therefore, is to learn the characters; and the pupil is as sure to pronounce a ! word correctly, belonging to any other language, as ho Is the most common household word. What an advantage this would bo to pupils, were it in general use, especially to those learning other language?. And what a vast amount of money and precious lime it would save to. bo devoted to other objects. Tills steam and lightening sgc cannot long abide the ought and atghs, and the thousand and one other ridiculous contortions of the English alphabet to represent simple sounds. Brevity is one of tho marked characteristics of tho ago, and if anything having more length than depth, passes its gnantlet without loosing a few of its lost joints, it will bo on account of its speed.

Ellis Moore testified that, when the row was partly over 1 aaw John Leonard and Mr.tShelbakerin the house; Mr. Snelbaker, then Major of the city, picked up. the ballot-box and threw it and it struck seven cr eight feet high against the A door; then some one picked it up and threw It out into the crowd, I cannot tell what made Mr. Sbelbak’er throw the box out; 1 heard no threats made; Ur. Snelbaker said nothing in my bearing;' I was as close as any one* Mr. John Leonard* ran up to Mr. Shelbaker, as though be was for fight, and I took, it on account of Mr. Snelbaker throwing the box out; Mr. Leonard wanted to preserve the box; I heard no one demand tbe box; this was about half past five o'clock. • American.

. Famine at Work. The fence corners along the htgi wars, says the Brownstown Democrat, wi’l dent • onstrate by the number of carca&es and. flocking vultures, that famine hasKtn miing its work. The lank-sided hogr and the lean cattle and horses, .proclaim the fact. If we say that thousands of hogs have died in this county for the want of corn—-it is true; and ‘accounts from adjoining counties are even worsen Cattle and horses have been dying iingreat numbers for the want of food.

The bill to abolish newspaper stamps in England had passed tho second reading in Urn house of Commons, by a largo majority, * Sir Charles Wood stated that as soon as the ports in tho Baltic and White sea were open, it was tho intention of tho allies to establish a strict blockade.

The Committee of Inquiry into the conduct of the war still continued in session. The revelations elicited were still more appalling. ' A dispatch from Vienna, dated March 27th, aays the political horizon had again become gloomy, and that the proceedings of tho Conference on tho third point, the previous day, were .far from satisfactory, the conditions required of Russia being very disagreeable.. , Prince Gortschakoff arrived at Sebastopol on the 30th of March. On-the 14th. of, the same month, the Turks at Eupatoria made a aortic, and were repelled. ■ On tho-17th three ballallions of Zouaves attacked a new Russian rcdonbt, and were driven hack with great loss. On the night of the 14th,* the. French troops carried a line of ambuscades, occupied by Russian .sharp -shooters.. At. the same time the Russians made a sortie, hnt were repulsed, f ' ■. v In the English House of Commons, Mr. Fhin moved an address to the Queen, pray that in peace negotiations, exertions be made for the reconstruction of Poland. After some debate, in which Lord Palraerstone opposed the motion, on the ground that it would create greater difficulties, it was withdrawn..

iST The election in Virginia takes place on tho 4th Thursday in May, The canvas is growing quite warm. Mr. Wise, the Democratic candidate for Governor, is making an active canvass, but tho impression is very general thathewill be beaten. Mr. Patton, the American candidate for Attorney Genera], made a great upeech in Richmond last Tuesday, which is to be published and circulated all over the State: Hon. Thomas H. Bayley, who has represented the Accoraac district ever since Mr. Wise declined are-elcction, made a speech in Williamsburg, in which he announced himself a candidate for reelection. He said he was not a member of tho Know-Nothing parly, though he entertained their principles to a considerable extent. Ho stated that he would not vote for Mr. Wise.

Facing Him Round. ; We notice tiiaUhe press in Indiana and other States, is lending us a helping hand in giving Mr. Bliphalet Case the notoriety he so much seeks. We subjoin a specimen: The Veray Rettijlc contains a column and « half of resolutions offered by a Mr. Caso, the defeated,candidate for Senator in that district, and adopted by a meeting of the unlenified, held at, Quercus Grove, denouncing the prohibitory law, arguing ail the points in it, and recommending certain distillers to go ahead and make liquor to sell cut oj the State, after lie 12th of Jane. Unfortunately, the 3d resolution kilts alt the balance. Here it is; 3, JJMoIced, That to secure these ends each and every member of the Slate has a right to be secure in his person, house, papers, properly, domestic and tociel hahlt, and religious faith and practice so long as he refrains from trenching upon any of the inalienable and equal rights of his fellows. “Trenching oh the inalienable riFhls.of others,”, is just exactly what liquor selling does, and what it mail do to pay.-v.Slaf* Journal, Induijiapolit.

Steamboat Explosion*. —We copy the following from the Mobile Advertiser of Friday week:

’ AST The Ripley Circuit Court, last week, sentenced Mr. Mom to the penitentiary for two years, for forging a note for 825. Mr. Mom is probably the richest man in Ripley connty, Ind. It is, supposed his property is worth near 8100, 000. It has been his strife to-be rich, and now ho will have thehonor of bragging of being tbc richest man in the Penitentiary. Won’t that be something oT which to be proud?

"A telegraphic dispatch received in this city on Wednesday night, and dated Lower Peach Tree, brings tho sad intelligence of the explosion of the Steamboat Heroine, which burst her boilers on Tuesday last, while near Hockley's landing on the Bigbee river, on her downward trip. By this unfortnnate accident three negro men were killed outright, and the pilot, Mr. Roberts, severely injured. Several passengers were also missing. As to the cause of the disaster, or the extent of the damage done the boat, wo are not advised.— Wc may mention that there are some grounds for hope that the report may be raise.”

; A manifesto from the holy synod ‘ of the Russian Church, has been issued, calling npon ; the Russian. people to rise in defence of the Bnssian faith. v ' There were no lives lost, it seems, by the burning of the French hospital at Constantinople. The English Government has agreed to borrow money at five per cent, to pay the Sardinian loan, at four per cent. Roebuck's committee still continued its investigations. Certain papers connected with Admiral Bundas’ conduct before Odessa, had been refused to be laid before the committee, by the House of Commons. The Parliamen? had adjourned over Easter to the I6th inst.

Here is another notice, from Ohio; Isduju TiMPiiuKct I.*w Opposed.—We see by the Vevay RtvtllU that the people of Ohio and Switzerland counties, are controlled by their politicians, a portion of them alleast, to oppose the execution of the new law, which is to shut yp all their distilleries and make useful citizens of them. Mr. Case, a defeated candidate for Senator, and bis abettors recommend the distilleries of Patriot and Jlisine Son to continue their grain-destroying, man-debasing manufacture, regardless of the law. Such men should be fined and imprisoned for inciting to illegal acts. We are glad to see our young friend Wauro, of the rieveille, stand up so resolutely for the right against- the prejudices of his community.— Type of the Timet, Cincinnati .

Child Born is a Stage Coach.—A few days since, a lody who was riding in a stage from Pontiac to Flint, Mich.; desired to alight at one of the houses on the road, asserting that she was not well.— The passengers, however, insisted on her remaining till they should arrive at the next hotel, which was a short disUncooff The result was, that when the coach reached the the public house,, the woman had given birth to a child.

The bulk or the British fleet was at Spithcad, and expected to sail on the 2d of April. The Parliament had agreed to the Sardinia loan; one million to be advanced immediately from'the public treasury, and the other million a year hence, if necessary. Advices from Madrid say the Spanish Cabinet had been discussing the strong note addressed to that Government by Lord Howden, the British Minister, on subject.of Religious Basis, etc., and it was a question whether the letter should be returned to the author. Lord Howden .coming to hear this, threatened that if such an insult was offered, he would, within six hours suspend all intercourse with the Spanish Government.

Shoottko.— On tho steamer Smizerland, on the lOlh, at Rising San, a difficulty occurred between Jos. McCnmanmt, pilot, and John Horner; engineer, when the former shot the latter, the ball taking effect in the left arm, above the elbow, entering and lodgingin the breast, inflicting a severe wound.

Kino vessels of the advance British Baltic squadron had sailed from Deal. Mr. Buchanan ; the American Minister, attended the dinner at the Seamen's Hos* pital, and formally returns! thanks for aid rendered fifteen hundred sick American seamen during the, year. Lord Palmerston presided on the occasion. Forged bills of lading to the amount of £14,000, had appeared In Liverpool, all against shipments purporting to nave been made at Charleston, South Carolina by James 0. Nichole. The fraud was accomplished by inserting the word hundred after the units in the body of the hills. The Vienna papers state that Spain and PortugaVbad come into the Western Alliance, and that the' treaty had been signed at Paris, on the 21st March, hut tha statement needed confirmation. ■ Tbetiiificolty between Austria and Prussia was increasing. .

We agree with our neighbor in regard to fining and imprisoning Mr. Case, for his disgraceful proceedings; and wiih his present views, lie would perhaps make a' more efficient representative in the fairer house, than he would in the Stale Senate at Indianapolis.

Specie from New York for the Crimea.—It is stated that seventy-five tons of coin has been engaged as part of the cargo of a vessel now loading at New York for Constantinople, and the shippers are anxious to engage forty tons more, having one hundred and twenty tons to ship.
