THE WE6TREN SUN. FIWCEMYES, January 24, 1829. To Office holders. The following extract of a letter from gen. Jackson to the Editors of the Nashville Republican, in answer to a publication which had been made by one col. Combs, may not at this time be inapplicable ; ond although it does not tell whom he will appoint, I guess there is a pretty strong allusion to these whom he will not appoint. Gen. Jackson says 41 1 have risked much that every man might possess freedom of speech, thought, and opinion: and where llicy conducted themselves in the exercise of these rights as gentlemen always should do, it never had been, and never would be, the cause of the least heart-burning ; but when slander was retorted to, the country ransacked for secret rales, and these promulgated to injure (he feelings and character of any cne, those capable of such conduct, ought to he contemned by all high-minded, honest and honorable men." Indianapolis January 14. The following communication was received by the last mail, which we hasten to lay before our readers. And although the session must necessarily be a shot one the pre
Qpnt ennp-tess terminating on the 4th of
March according to the constitution still we have stronc: reasons to expert an cqully favo
rable result, in the other branch, from the
early and earnest manner in which the subject has been urged in that body. It is un necessary to say, that, this appropriation although not very large in amount, would produce an effect that would be immediately and extensively felt. Senate Chamber, Jan 2, 1829,

AWFUL FVr.NT.

About 3 o'clock, in

Vespers, a violent storm ai ose, and the light ning sti iking Ihe choir of the chapel, killed four priests and iwo seculars. The Archpriest of Frescarolo, aged 60, was struck dead, but appt ared sitting in ti e altitude of one who meditated. Near him they found upon the earth ihe Archpriest of Scimoma, aged 50, without any exterior wound; also a tailor, aged 3ft. Tbty found, likewise, near the door of the choir, an individual, whose appeawmcc was that of a man who had died quietly. Uy the side of ihe pulpit lay extended upon the earth the Atehptiest of Spraigaralo, blackened ; his face, hand, and hair burnt; his clothes weie in rags Near live btnly appeared that of the Cute ol Homole, in a sitting posture, the countenace expressed great pain and suffering, but no wound was visible."
