riNCEXNES auOUst 2, 1828. tlabash Telegraph The Wabash Telegraph lias again made its appearance, and is freighted a usual with but a detail of its cargo to those who have seen the previous numbers h needless. The Editor of the Terre Haute Registei, will please examine the Jackson Electoral Ticket, as published in his paper, and compare it with that in all, or any other paper in this state. Upon this subject, a hint to that editor is deemed sufficient. Samuel Judah called upon me, at the mo rr.cnt this paper was ready for the press, and requested mc to say for him to the citizens ol Knox county, in tcply to the observations respecting him in the Wabash Telegraph of August 1st, and in that which preceded it, that in his circular, after the scsiion, he stated his course, and his reasons relative to the subjects taken notice of by the Telegraph. Tim joint resolution was a party measure, to answer party purposes, and was intended to compel our Representatives in Congress to vol for a Woollens bill, in preference to a VAIR, HONEST Sc IMPARTIAL TARIFF, Which should extend eual protection to all. Mr, Judah moved several amendments, to in c'udc spirits, Sec. in which he was outvoted, and then he opposed the resolution. He has always bcn known to be a decided Jackso nian, and as such he has acted. In relation to the Seminary, Mr Judah says he did that which he considered his duty, but that he did not disregard the peoples will, as there were not 300 signers, and even thai number is not a majority, nor any thing like it, of the county. As to the Canal bill, Mr. Jud ih says, that if he h in any error, all the Wabash Refiretentative in fact the whole House of Representatives, and John M. Colman, ol Vigo county, James Blair, of Vermillion county, (twoou'.of three Wabash Senators,) and 16

drier Senators, are all in the same situation. Seventy-five Senators & Representatives are wrong, and J hn Ewing, Watts, of Dearborn, and Gregory, of Shelby, are right. By a reference to the Senate Journal, page 100 it will appear that two Wabash Senators and 16 otheis, preferred Mr. Judah's bill, while one Wabash Senator, Mr. John Ewing, and two others, preferred Mr. Evings b:.U But at page 103, Mr. Judah's hill passed unanimously. And where then was Mr. John Ewing ? Did he basely desert his post and neglect his duty, or did he vote for the bill ? A bill which he now says, is only calculated to put ofF a great undertaking, and squander the public m mey. Mr Judah further observed to me, that he was induced to believe, that certain ficliiieal aspirants, who feel it an object to put him down, and get him out of the wav, have been very busy in making and circulating little dirty stories, calculated to injure his election and, also, that perhaps handbills may be put out even now privately so that he may not be able to answer them Of these tricks he respectfully desires his friends to lake particular notice.

Indianapolis, Ju'v 17. Wabash Cane! Messrs Jons and Burr, two of the Wa--bash Canal Commissioners, met in this town on Monday last, in conformity to the notice ot the governor heretofore published. They left town this morning for the Wabash, for the purpose of making preparatory arrange ments, before entering on the duties of their office. Indianapolis Gaz. Vakdalia, July 26. The National Road Mr. Shriver and his company, arrived at this place on Tuesday last, having run a random line, and partially surveyed the country, for the location of the National Road, from the state line to this place We learn that it is intended to run back on or near the nev line, and make further surveys, before the final location of the road which Mr. Shriver

expects to accomplish in the prevent season. The country between this and the Indiana Sc Illinois line, unon which the random line is

A run, is represented to be good for the con-

Struction oi toe ro.au, alter leaving the wa-tr-of Big creek, in Clark county, in the viy of which the ground is very broken i only considerable streams between Big c. ek and the Kaskaskia, were the Emharras and little Wabash. Illinois Int. SHOCKING piRACY!! We have been politely favored with the following extract from a letter, dated Havanva, June 28. " We have here the account of Pirates having captured a French ship from Vera Cruz bound to Bordeaux, and after having Mur dered the Passengers and Crew, amounting to 83 souls, and plundered the vessel of, it is said 200.000, thev sunk her off Cape Antonio They afterwards captured an American schooner from Xag'ia bound to 'New. York, with several young lads on board, who were going there for the:r education, and cut all their throa's. Th s latter vessel having been found, a man was apprehended in Man naniUo, who proved to have been the Pilot of the piratr and he has confessed 'he whole. This is the story current bee, and I am much inclined to believe t i true." Norfolk BeacGTi) 2Uh July.

From tfie N. Y;. Mercantile Ad v July 1$. Late from Europe The packet ship New Yjrk, captain Bennett, from Liverpool, arrived last evening at a late hour, bringing pa pers to the 16th, and London to the 15th in elusive. We have time for only a few cx tracts. The accounts published yesterday of engagements between the Russian and '1 urks, was wholly untrue. The house of lords had thrown out the Catholic question, by a majority of forty five. Sir II enry Hardingc is appointed secretary of war, and the hon Wi liam F Vesey Fit-2 gerald president of the council for trade and foreign plantations. There was no later certain intelligence from Portugal. It was reported that Miguel had fled to Badajos. The Brazilian agents in England and France, had acknowledged the government at Oporto. Despatches were received dated Lisbon, the 23d of May, and detail the commencement of the Counter-Revolution in Portugal. The officer commanding the regiments in Oporto and the neighbouring districts, assembled in the barracks on the 17th ult. forming themselves into a Military Council to take into considciation the state of the country, in consequence of the projected usurpation of the Don Miguel to the Throne, The Council, after a short deliberation, drew up on declaration ol fidelity to the legitimate Sovereign Don Pedro, and appointed a Regency to act in his name. The regiments which thus declared their attachment to Don Pedro, were five in number ; three others in TrascsMoutcs were ready toco-operate with them; and the regiments in the province of Minho, animated with the same loyalty, were marching to join them. The officers followed up the declaration of their sentiments by a spirited Proclamation, which may be viewed as an indictment for high treason against Don Mi guel, whom it describes as a shame to Pi inCC8, and a disgrace to Portugal. The determination of the troops of Oporto

and the neighbouring districts, diffused the utmost consternation and dismay through the Palace. The accounts came down so late as to the 23th, when the Counter-Revolution was proceeding most prosperously. A pro visional Regency has been established at Opoi to, to which the Portuguese Minister at our Court has sent in his submission, For the Charl ston MGrcv.ru, .hid all other Newxfiaparx of the United States. Some veas a.ro, a young Physician of Charleston, from whose immedvP information I write, accidentally rrct n ! ur,d, who condoled with him upon his appearance oi extreme ill-health. The Physician said that he was suffering under an obstina e a;; tie, after having exhausted all the usual remedies. A Frenchman, unacquainted with cither of the conversing pat ties, advanced to the com plainer, and offered an infallible cure. It was, of course, accepted with the usual distrust ; but, as it was simple, the patient promised to give it atrial did so and was cured by the first dose. The remedy consisted of very strong coffee, mixed with an equal quantity of lime juice; and making together about half a pint This dose was taken hetore the fit of ague was expected: its success has been mentioned, The anecdote was nearly effaced from my memory, when I met with a review of " Pouqucvillc's Travels in the Morea," the subjoined passage ol

which is given by the Reviewer, who, of

course, must have thought it worthy of notice. To my mind, it very naturally recalled my friend, the Physician, and his intermittent ; For as Pouquevillc was also a disin guished Physician, the remedy derives no small confirmation from what he has staled as coming within his professional observation. 41 1 have been surprised (says Dr. Pouquevillc,) to see how well the peasants of the Morea manage a putrid fever Some glasses of generous wine, pomcgranites, and limes, are the things usually given to the pa tient : the favorite lancet being kept at a vc ry cautious distance ; by these means, I have known a patient recover very speedily. I have often $tc intermit en t fevers Subdued entirely by a mixture of coffee and lemon juict, which is the general remedy for them, all over the country. The proportions are three quarters of an ounce of coffee ground very fine two ounces of lemon juice and three of water. The mixture to be drunk warm and fasting." Crit. Rev. Xov. 18 '3. This recipe differs from that of the French man of my anecdote, and it is evidently more powerful, both as to quantity and quality ; the difference between limes at:d lemons is, probably, in favor of the former; but the powdered coffee must be much more efiica cious than any decoction. I have heard the late excellent and acute Dr. Baron say, that extract from bark what you please, he was inclined to trust more to the mere cafiut mor'uum, than to all the preparations derived from it. If any l Sir Andrev.7 Ague chenk" should be induced to try what comes to him so well recommended and should benefit by it I n-ust he will make his cure as pub'ic as I have thought it mv dutv to make this rem' edy.

Now don't Uugh try it. From the New-Yotk Journal of Commerce Some thing can be done at well as others. On Friday last, al half past four, P. M. agrceabiy to appointment, a hair-brained fellow in Patterson, whose name we do not recollect, leaped from the Passaic falls, just to gratify an idle whim of his own. This is the third time he has done it the first time he did it privately by way of experiment he then gave out that he would do it publicly for the gratification of any who pleased to attend. The authorities in Patterson were justly alarmed and put him under keeping till they supposed he had abandoned the purpose, but he watched the opportunity after he was freed from restraint, and when a number of persons were present, in a favourable position, he carried it into execution. Since that time the authorities have allowed him to consult for his own safety, and he leaps from a precipice of a hundred feet whenever it takes his fancy. It does not appear that he receives or expects any compensation. He says he " merely wants to shovj that some thi7igs can be done av well as others ' The position from which he leaped on Friday is a few rods below the bridge on the side towards the village, and, if the falls are seventy feet (as commonly estimated,), about eighty-five or ninety above the water. The giddy precipi ccs around the chasm were covered with a promiscuous multitude of both sexes, whose curiosity had brought them together to see this singular feat of temerity. The universal anxiety of the multitude was manifest in their countenances, and still more pcifcctly in the silence that prevailed. When the man made his appearance a dark cloud had come over the spot, adding to the sublimity of t lie cataract that of an approaching stoi m. As he walked deliberately forward to his position you ought have heard the beating of their hearts, had it not been for the mingled thunders of the chasm beneath and the clouds a bovc. When he had divested himself of Jus coat, vest, and shoes, and laid them carefully by, as if debating the question whether he should want them again, he commenced a short speech to the spectators, which but few of course could hear. He then stepped forward to t lie edge of the rock and looked down, and the spectator s on that side, supposing that he warning off, came forward as their curiosity or their fears moved them, and seemed to those opposite as if about to make the fatal leap: indeed there was threat danger of the whole line of those in Uont being crowded off. Aft r he had looked down a moment, he stepped back a few feet, ran forward, and leaped into the i-.byss He went down uith his feet foremost, though drawn tip somewhat. For this reason, or some other past comprehension, he did but just go under the water, for he was immediately seen swimming off, as quietly as if he had done nothing, and nothing had befallen him. The maniac (for what else can he be called ?) was greeted with a shout from the spectators when they saw that he was still safe ; and when he had reached the shore, he marched round to his clothes with a look of composure and satisfaction, and they to their homes, some admiring his courage, but inoic pitying his temerity.

SCRAPS Clerical Dress- WTe never could understand the reason for the clergy being clad in black. Why should the mes sengci s of glad tidings were that gloomy colour ? There are certain offices, which from their ill-boding nature, would seem to render a black dress appropriate ; such, for example, are the lawyer, the sheriff, the executioner, the undertaker, he. But he who proclaims peace here, and life and immortality hereafter, should rather be clad in garments of white, as emblematical of the joy ful nature of his mission, as well as indicative of the purity of character which the pastor should sustain Berkshire American It is a curious fact, says the New-York American, that the calendar of the present court of sessions, which commenced on Monday last, exhibits upwards of seventy cases of assault and battery committed by females kk It will be gratifying," says the Norfolk Herald, to the friends of commodore Poiter, to learr, that from a letter received by a friend of his in this town, he may very shortly be expected in this country."

There died recently in the town of Morth Stonnington, Connecticut, a woman a ged about forty years, who had been ill a long time, and complained of excessive pain in the heart. She left a request that the physicians who attended her should examine the cause of her extreme suffering.
