THE WESTERN SUN riXCKXA0ES, auoust 27, 1825.

Wc have at length ascertained to a certainty, the result of the late election in this state for Governor and Lt. Governor, and it appears Mr. Ray is elected to the first mentioned office, by a small majority over his opponent Isaac Blackford. However much xvc may feel dispose d to acquiesce in the will cfthe majority and how with reverence to its mandates, as is the duty of every good ciciti2cn wc cannot, nevertheless, refrain from remarking that in our humble opinion, the people of Indiana might have selected a person in almost every respect better qualified to preside at the helm of state, than the individual whom they have elevated to that reponsible station. The stern integrity, exalted talents, and extensive acquirements of Isaac Blackford, would have given to our young state a character and a stand in the Union, which we fear she cannot attain under her present chief magistrate. JOHN H. THOMPSON is elected Lt. Governor of the state of Indiana, by an o erivhelming majority.

The state of Indiana contains 34 organized bounties. The above returns embrace 42, consequently, 12 counties yet remain to be heard from" oflicially; which wc think will

increase Mr. Kay s majority, rather than diminish it. GREECE. The latest accounts from Hydra, by ?ay of Malta, contained in Paris papers of the 14th June, confirm all the material circumstances respecting the recent rlorious victories of the Greeks, over brahim Pacha, and the Turkish ami Egyptian fleets. The following quotation, made by the editor oflic Troy Sentinel, is peculiarly happy and appropriate: "Tfic Turkish Mcp.i.v i Wander in diiarmy. A Jar k ccli'ise "Hangs on the silver ere.sent, boding night, .o;i(T nigif, to all her The Greeks have exhibited, in their rar for independence, valor perseverance and enthusiasm, united with skill and discretion, worthy of the brightest periods of Grecian glory; ant tnc chivalrous and patriotic devotion of their leaders, to the cause of liberty, is most honorable to the legitimate inheritors of the ancient republic. The result of the present campaign, can hardly fail of convincing the Mehommedan power, that Greece can

never again be brought under the yoke of

tyranny; and il the Holy Alliance shad refrain from unholy interference, there appears to be but little doubt that a well ordered republican government will be firmly established, and the dibits, the sufferings and perils of the brave Greeks, crowned with complete success.

An article, dated Corfu, May 12th, says: "At this moment, it h certain, that Ibrahim Pacha is ruined, if he has not succeeded in re-embarking. His expedition in the Morca, has cost the Greeks some blood. I lis artillery, directed by foreign rencgadocs and farmer soi-disant Philhcllcnians, has occasioned the death of many brave men; but they are revenged; the people have risen in a body, a new energy animated them, and the campaign of 1825, will be as memorable as that of 1S22. The Hcllenian government has welcomed, with the liveliest sentiments of gratitude, the arrival of General Roche, who was sent by the Greek committee of Paris, among whom, are the Chatcaubrunds, the Tornaux, the Fitzjamcscs, and other illustrious personages. He immediately took the direction toward Patras, and it is probable, that he will be employed in the final reduction of that place. The Hcllenian government is about to send to Paris, St. Calcrgis, one of its members. The choice of such an envoy shows that the institutions of G recce are becoming setiled." -Y. V. Statesman.

The Creeks. The letter from general

Gained ptacca the fact beyond a doubt, that the late treaty concluded with the Greeks, was not only without the assent of the mzrion,but in direct contravention of its law; shewing also, that Mcintosh was executed as a traitor, and not murdered. The "reputed hostile party," that is, the opponents of the Mcintosh party and the treaty, is made up of "about forty-nine fiftieths' of the whole people they have resolved to remain at peace with the whites and each other, and, surely, have powerful claims on our sympathy and sense of justice. The treaty was evidently fraudulentat least, it is so shewn by the facts that have been laid before us but it has becti ratified and partially carried into operation, and it is not easy to determine what ought to be done, unless to suspend all proceedings under it, until the whole matter shall be submitted to trie Congress of the United States for consideration. Gen. Gains has taken measures that, if possible, will reconcile the Indians to it and perserve peace among them, and between them and the white people. The survey, as resolved on by governor Troup, will not, at present, be made: gen. Gains believing that the coujptry belongs to the Indians, at least, until the time stipulated for the delivery of it. Nile's. The Eig. The following paragraph, from the Warrcnton, N. C Reporter, contains information relative to the cul turc of this delicious fruit, which maybe useful to many of our readers; The Fig may be seen in perfection in more than one garden in Warrcnton. It is a delicious fruit, wholesome and nutritious. The Fig, with us, grows upon a bush, which will be larger or smaller according- to care or situation, liven here, in a favorable year like the present, it begins to ripen before the peach, and continue to bear until frost. In Florida it becomes a tree, larger than the Damson. An intelligent gentlemen from Georgia, observes, that them it comes to great perfection, and with the same, or, perhaps, a litMc more attention, it might be brought to equal maturity here. It is a great bearer, but a slight frost not only

destroys the young fruit and the leaves, but a large portion of the wood. A few fig bushes will afford enough for a family. Before the approach of frost, make of rails a pen uround the bush and cover it well with straw: during the cold wea

ther the straw will keep the tender limbs,

and cvc;i the young fruit of the Fig from injury. In the Spring, after all danger from frost is over, remove the coveting

the little fruit will immediately begin to grow, and, before the expiration of the month of June, and From then to the first

of October, you will be sut o to have that

sacred fruit which our Heavenly Father

planted in Patadise, as Fine as the Fig of

J tide a.

tallies in any quantity or variety, havo almost disappeared From our markets."

Dr. Baker, a physician oF eminence, at

Bladensburgh, details at length, in the

National Intelligencer, his mode oF trea

ting the Dyscntary, in which he has been very succcssFul,by the use oF cold or iced water thrown up into the bowels every

half hour, together with the Usual reme

dies applied in that fatal disease.

An eastern paper, says the Baltimore

American, mentions the death of a lady who died in great agonies, and that this melancholy event was occasioned by the

head of a pin which fell into her ear while she was making use of that little instrument in picking it. It should be borne

in mind that if any casuality of this kind

occurs, human skill can afford no relief;

it is beyond the reach of medicine, be

yond the power of the surgeon to afford a

remedy. Let this melancholy example

then serve as a caution to persons how they apply pins to their cars. Wc have before heard of cases of this kind, and we had resolved to mention the subject by way of salutary cautio n and the recent death reminds us of ou;- tK-gligcncc On Thursday last, at Concord, Mass. in the afternoon, two thermometers being placed out of doors, where no reflexion of heat could be felt, and where the air circulated freely, they rose to 105 degrees, 7 above blood heat. The editor of the Concord Gazette seems to doubt the hypothesis that the Africans owe their features, hair and complexion, to the heat; as no such effects have been witnessed here General Lafayette anived in this city yesterday afternoon; and, agreeably to the President's invitation, to-jk up his quarters at the President's House.

We have frequently turned the attention of our readers towaids Florida, hitherto so inconsiderable a portion of our national territory as to be scarce worthy of

hardly contained fifteen thousand mhabitants it now contains upward of fifty thousand, and will, at the very next session of Congress, apply for admission as a distinct and independent state. Thus does the work of civilization, law, liberty, and science, go on Bait Anur. Another use tor steam. A London paper states that steam is a very effective means of destroying Bugs. Places where the insects gather, being exposed to its action, will soon be freed of them. It kills the eggs, as well as the vermin. An establishment for printing -Calico is about to be established in Troy, New, York. It is supposed the building and machinery will cost about one million of dollars. A large manufacturing house in Manchester, England, is said to be deeply interested in this establishment.
