THE WESTERN SUN. VINCENNES, September 26, 1829. Mr. John Scott has been appointed Postmaster in this place, in tho room of Samuel Hill, Esq. removed.
Mr. Hill is a gentleman of very respecta-
)le standing, and gave general satisfaction in
the performance of the duties of his office.
Ic supported the late President in his pre
tentions 10 a re-election. Mr. Scott is one of the most respectable citizens of our county. He is a Farmer; he has resided in the county near thirty years ; his character is above the least imputation ; and after a little experience in its details, I have no doubt he will be able to discharge the duties of the office with advantage to the public and credit to himself. He has been a uniform supporter of the present patriotic administration. Vc have been informed by a gentleman direct from Jeffersonvillc, that General Wil
liam C. Keen, of Printer's Retreat, Switzerland County, Indiana, has been appointed Register of the Land Office at Jeffersonville, to fill the vacancy occasioned by the removal of Samuel Ci wathmcy, Esq. and in the room of Mr Smiley who was recently appointed to that office and declined accepting said appointment. Indiana Republican We have much satisfaction in being able to contradict the report of the assassination ol Mr. Poinsett in the city of Mexico. Advices have been received from him at the Department of State, dated 1 5th July last, the same day the rumor of his death was circulated in Tiinidad. U. S. Tel. Swearingen Convicted. An extra from the Cumberland Advocate office, (received at
the office of the Baltimore Patriot,) dated Saturday, 22d ult, states that the trial of George Swcaringen, for the murder of his wife in this county, on the 8ih day of Septem her last, was closed this day at 4 o'clock P. M. after a patient and laborious session of three weeks. The Jury retired to their room about ten minutes, when it returned into Court and rendered a veidict of " Guilty of JWurder in th?f.rsl degree." I'nfiortcrit Discovery. At the sitting of the Paiis Academy of Sciences, on the 29th ult. a letter was read from Dr Dudon. stating that he his discovered a perfect solvent for the stone in the bladder, even when it is encysted. He requcstslhc Academy to name commissioners, in whose presence he will make use of his solvent (which is in the form of powder) upon dead subjects, preparatory to his performing the experiment on a living person. The Academy has named Messrs. Dumeril, Hover, and Magendie, to assist Dr. Dudon, and report upon his proceedings. "A London Magazine says, the prussic acid lias been obtained from the leaves of green tea in so concentrated a state, that one drop killed a dog almost instantaneously. A strong infusion of souchong tea, sweetened, is as effectual in poisoning flics, as the solution of arsenic generally sold for that purpose.
The state of Delaware has abolished their military system altogether. The Philadelphia Aurora says it is a creditable act, and Ave cherish the hone that Pennsylvania and other states will follow their example. It has been estimated that it Costs the state of Pennsylvania and its citizens upwards of three

IMPORTANT FROM COLOMBIA AND MEXICO. Captain Boissiere, of the Seraphim, who came passenger in the steam boat Norfolk, which arrived on Friday morning, and left his vessel below, in 16 days from Chagres, informs us that on the 1 1 of August, a Government vessel arrived from Guayaquil at Panama, the captain cf which came down bearing despatches from Bolivar. Nothing official had transpired; but the verbal report of the officers and others onboard was, that Bolivar had just entered Guayaquil when they sailed

beautiful description we extract from the ad dress of the Hon. Mr Rowan, of Kentucky, to the citizens of L misville, on the 18th ult. Who is there among us that beholds the condition of our farmcts, and does not exult in the consciousness that he is an American citizen, and pant to superadd tho character of farmer The house of the farmer is the abode of the virtues. It is a school in which lessons of practical wisdom arc taught. It is a temple in .vhich the precepts of our holy
teligion arc inculcated. It is the castle of
so ereignty, for it is owned by its occupant, and he is a freeman. It is the residence of peace, order, harmony, and happiness. Pa triotism and piety unite in consecrating the place, and in suffusing every countenance with their unction. Indeed, what condition in life is so likely to produce the patriotism, which will stand the country in stead upon emergencies, or that piety which will afford solace in extremity, as that of the farmer? He occupies a constant, intimate, k sensible relation with Heaven. His mind is subdued with a loveot order, by constantly beholding that which prevails around him. The regular succession of the seasons, of day and night, and of seed time and harvest, admonish him to the observance of regularity and order in all his conduct. He perceives that the Sun and Moon perform their circuits without loitering on the way ; and learns from them, that industry is requited at his hands. He looks to heaven through its rains and its dews, for the rewards of his labors in the abundance of his crops. He makes the sacred volume of Revelation the man of his council, and source ol his consolation He unites with his wile and children in tones ol supplication and strains of praise around the family altar, on the morning and evening of each day. He

TO PREVENT SHOES FROM TAKING IN water One pint of dtying oil, two ounce of yellow wax, two ounces of turpentine, and half an ounce of Burgunday pitch, melted carefully over a slow fire. If new boots or shoes ate rubbed carefully with this mixture, either in the sunshine, or at some distance from the fire, with a sponge or soft brush, and the operation is repeated as they become dry, till the leather is fully saturated, they will be impervious to the wet, and will prevent the leather from ever shrivelling. .Vote Shoes or boots prepared as above ought not to be worn till perfectly dry and clnatic. otherwise their durability would rather be prevented than inct eased. to make brandy peaches. Take a peck ol peaches, scald them in strong lye, few at a time, let them lay a few moments, then rub them wnh a c arse cloth until the down ia quiie removed, then lay them in cold water for a few moments to a peck of peaches middle size, take 5 pounds loaf sugar, make a syrup, boil them in it till

The Aurora, further says ' It has been established bv the concurrent testimony of most cf the eminent military menolthe country, that the military laws, as universally enforced and observed, in place of promoting military science and discipline, produce a direct and contrary result. No dispassionate person, who has ever witnessed our military musters, trainings and battalion days, will for a moment doubt the correctness ol this conclusion. As military displays, they are a ridiculous burlesque as schools of vice, deplorable : many a youth is their ini tiatcd into the practice of drunkenness, and ihe records of the county courts bear testimony to the violence done to morality.
