OT Carmi, White county, Illinois territory, appointed assistant accent to the United States Vaccine Institution for the Illinois territory, and parts adjacent. h,vs it in his powgMp Sjffer the renuine Vaccine matterR Jphysicians and private families, with proper directions for its use, on the folloAig terms, to -wit : 1. The Genuine Vaccine matter will be preserved here without any interruption, and furnished for the use of physicians or private families, to the number of Two Glasses, for the sum of Two Dollars ; or in like proportion according to the number of glasses or quantity of the virus required. 2. Every portion of the Vaccine matter furnished will be warrantflM genuine; and should it fail to take effect, rom any accidental cause, a fresh poaUon v. ill be furnished in its stead. 3. Such directions will alw!ys"ac company every fresh portion of the' matter furnished by the subscriber, as will enable any intelligent citizen oi private family residing in places where practicing physicians cannot be conveniently procured, to use it with the most perfect safety, and thus to secure themselves from the Small-Pox, with the greatest certainty of success. 4. All letters must be post paid and enclose a sum adequate to the quantity of matter required. J. E Throckmorton, jsJjtsistant United States Agent of Vaccination. TO THE CITIZENS OF INDIANA. The wide extent to which the natural Small-Pox, has lately prevailed in our country, and the consequent mortality which has attended its progress in various places, compels me to address jrou at this time, with the hope that all respectable citizens will consid r the public Kood and will not longer overlook .is subject, nor treat it as one of such trival importance, as to be altogether unworthy of your mo t serious regard. The cities of New-Yor. and Philadelphia become much infected with this contagious disease, more than a year since ; and from thence it was soon carried into many other towns and seaports within the United States, by travellers on land ami by water ; but the spreading abroad of this contagion is by juo means to be attributed to the carelessnckstrf travellers alone ; the blamemay he truly attached, and it justly applies to levery individual in' society, who negleJW to secure his own person or family against it. And more particularly so, if in this unguarded situation they travel from place to place, or hold any intercourse with the rest of mankind Thus it happened When the small-pox was lately introduced into the cities to the eastward as has been just stated, that transient visitors, and others w ho were passing to and from these places, caught it there and soon planted it, not only in other cities and towns, but along out main roads, w here strangers and travellers, ignorant of tin ir danger, had afterwards to pass at the peril of their lives. Many of the public houses on the high roads leading to the eastward, became infected m this manner early last spring, by which means every family emigrating in this direction with their children, became unavoidably exposed to it. They often took it, and in their turn aain soon became its propai;aters to others. So that the last summer had scarcely commenced before this pestilence had become apalarming epidemic to the citizens of fVnnsv'vania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, IeTituekv, Tenne ssee, Sec. Sec. where it has not yet become extinct. J. E. Th rock motion, Axs. iT. S. Agent for Vaccination.

LOTS FOR SALE .V THE TO IV.Y Of CLlTO

THE undersigned respcctfeiiy inform their friends Slid the public, mat tkev have laid out anew town on t::e ffesterti bank of the Wabash, I j or 11 miles abovc Fort-Hal i ison, and 1 3 of 14 a!) w Terre Haute, and intend odciing theii lots far suL- at Pubhc Auction on the first day of September next. 1 he's of this town may be classed with ti.o of the inostbeuutdul 00 tiie banks of tin Wabash, (and somewhat resembles that of Fort-Harrison,) rising gradually from the river, for about L50 yaIts. to th height of from 4u to SO feet above high watermark, and is terminated wiiii horizontal plain of half a mile in width. No town on the Wabash can boast oi a. more delightful view ot the river, a bet" tcr landing and harbour for boats both in time of ice, and at every stage of water. The adjacent country is very fertile has every appearance of being heuithy, and abounds with streams oi excellent water ; some of them afford good mill scites, on which it is expected one or two mills will be erected the present season Stone ol m era! kinds have been found in the adjacent hills ; the most common are granite, lime, and lieestone. Iron ore, and Stone C oaic, lias alio been discovered ; the lat;cr in great abundance, but has not as yet been much sought after. The settlement in the vicinity of this place is yet in its infancy, owing inareat measure to the want ot Mills and some tittle disturbances with the Indians, since the termination ol the war. It is however increasing very fast and soon will be able to surmount these difficulties, and should the emigration to this country be equal to what is anticipated, this part of the country will soon be. come very populous. There is no other scite for a town on the western bank of the Wabash from the boundary line to near the center of the eleventh township a space of about 30 miles ; this circumStance together with the fertility of the soil, for a great distance, westwardly cf the river ; and the prospect of a populous settlement, render this place an object worthy the attention of those who may wish to become purchasers of town property. A lew lots are set apart by the proprietors, and are intended to be given as donations to individuals who may wish to become actual settle rs previous to the day of sale. Those Merchants or Mecnanicks, whomav ish to avail themselves of this advantage, are refered to Mr. Truman Blackmail, residing in Fort-Harrison prairie, who is authorised to enter into contracts to tho mutual interest of the parties Terms of sale to be published hereafter.
