Panama mission, it is truly an important

subject, and I have to regret that their great length puts it out of my power to insert them. Casualty In a thunder storm on Wednesday evening last, Mrs. Mary Latrimour, of this place, was struck by light-, ning, and instantly killed three children who were in the house with her, were also knocked down, and one of them considerably burnt, The steam boat Highland Laddie, arrived on Sunday last, in three days Horn LmisviUe, discharged a part of her 'cargo, received several tons freight and pro-ceH-'d for Terr e-ilaute she passed this pbec on her return on Tuesday night. The Wabash is .falling slowly, but is yet in good navigable order. Cotton & Woollen Goods Wc see it estimated that the annual value of these goods manufactured in the United States, is twelve mirIn: o- dj.brs. I'hough we cannot pretend la . iy .v;. is the real valu;., or even to make a tolerable guess at it, we may venture an opinion, thit the sum supposed is far be ow the real amount, perhaps much less 1 han the cot'on im .ufactured alone, it is be ieved that about 100.000 bales of cotton a.e conu me l at the d'ff; t ent mills, (to sav mining ot wnt is usvd ii ptivae fumlh-s) and the raw cann 1: then be o le-s valu 'han three millions ; imi, if -he sYmnrig. dyeing, weaving, Sec. v.;;.y incr-us'-is in value

a want of skill inthe management of our land and labor; .those circumstances had been Isng undermining the state of agriculture, had been breaking up the land holders St land market here, while drawing off its bidder to people the western country. Under such circumstances, agricultural property had become no resource for the pay ment of d. bts. To obtain a fair market was all I wanted, and this the only means of obtaining it. The idea was perhaps more familiar to me than to younger people, because so commonly practised befoie the revolution. It had no connection with morality although it had wiih expediency. Instead of being supp-esscd, therefore, with mere games of chance, lotteries had been pbced urder discretion of the legislature as a means of sometimes effeetini; purposes, desira ble, while left voluntary. Whether my case was wjthin the range of that discre tion, they were to judre. and in the hue grity of that judgment, I had the most perfect confidence. 11 The necessity which dictat. d this expedient, cost tee, in its early stage, unspeakable mot tirur.mn f . c turn it has taken, so much bevond vhr' I could have expected, has conntervdled all I suffered and become a source of felicity which I should otherwise never have known."

Messrs. S. Van Rcnselacr and George W. Featherstonhaugh, have petitioned tle New York legislature, for an act of incorporation for themselves and their associates, for an exclusive pUMiege lor a term of years, to build a railway bctwt cn
