Some few days since, an enterprising individual, in the habit of plying up and down the Delaware, succeeded in raising a gun belonging to one of the above essels; it is a double fortified 24 pounder ; and its high state of preservation, after having laid near a 2 years in the water, makes ii a subject of curiosity.

THE SUBSC RIBERS will cffkr this town for SALE I On the JFut Monday of October next 1 his town is so planned for he and convenience as to ensure general satisfaction in that respect. It is situated in Owen county, ol the bank of the west fork of White River, :md immediately opposite to the site which has been selected for the scat of justice of Owen. It is 16 miles distant from Bloomington the seat of justice ot Monroe county, and nearer to it than any other point on the rier ; and the road between those places being very good, SPRINGVILLE must be principally the place of deposit for that rich, populous and flourishing county. It embraces several fine springs not surpassed by any in the country, and from which (at a triflinp expense) water might be conveyed to any extremity of the town. Independent of these advantages the remarkable healthiness of the place, and the unrivalled fertility of the contiguous country, make SPRINGVILLE a desirable place either for the purpose of speculation or of obtaining an agreeable residence.
