VINCENNES, DECEMBERS, 1833." The Editor of the Sun tenders to his Readers the passing salutations of the day and wishes them health, prosperity, goacc and happiness. The Legislature have been in session How for three weeks, and, by a friend from Indianapolis I have understood that it will probably be as interesting a one as his overtaken place in the state; and I will add, if successful in carrying through the

'Various important bills now be form them, 49 useful a one A synopsis of what has been done already, and of what is prepar ing to be done, may be interesting to my Reader1. In the first place, a charter has been granted on liberal terms to a company, authorizing the construction of a Rail road from Evansville, by the way of Princeton, Vincennes and Terre llaute, to Lafayette The provisions of the bill give to the company all the powers necessary to carry into elfrct the undertaking. And I have no doubt that the work will be undertaken and completed, as far as Vincennes at least. JBv the provisions of the bill, the completion of any part of the road, insures the benefit of the charter to the company. That the 6tock will be taketi on favorate terms, and that it would pay a good inter est in a few year?!, those who know the importance of a direct communication between the Wabash and Ohio must acknowledge. The benefits of such a road to Vincennes, as well as Evansville, must Le obvious to all. There is also a bill in progress on Roads Arid Canals, which will be of immense importance if passed, especially to the counties on the Wabash. It is proposed by this iill to fund the three percent, fund, annually amounting to about 20,000, (which by the provisions of the present law is distributed to the several counties, without being of any permanent advantage to the State roads on which it is expended,) and on the faith of this fund, to borrow two hundred and fifty thousand dollars, at a rate of interest not to exceed five per cent, for a period of twenty years; this sum to be laid out under the direction of a "Board of Internal Improvement," and appropriated on the rivers and principal roads of the state. By the provisons of this bill as read in committee, $10,000 are appropriated to the improvement of the" Wabash river below the point where the state line dividing Indiana and Illinois crosses the ami; 1,500 to the improvement of each branch of the White rivers; 15,000 to the improvement of the Stato road between this place and Louisville; and, $5000 on ibc road between this place and Indiananolis. nassia through Green and Owen I 7 1 ' ' counties. It will bo remembered that tho state of Illinois has heretofore appropriated the proceeds of 10,000 acros of Saline lands,

and from which upwards of $12,000 have tiers, and to cede the refuse and unsaleable been received, to be applied with an equal j lands, to the States in which they lie. The sum to be appropriated by the state of In- j provisions of this bill are so plain and obdiana on the river Wabash below thc Jvious that they will readily be understood point where that river forms the dividing j by every render. They are to thc newline between thc two states, provided the j States, 'without being unwfc( the old state of Indiana shall make such appro- Jones. They grant a just pretr&jce, and priition before the first day of next March; a decided advantage, in the pMchasc, to unless our Legislature docs this, that sum that vast and meritorious body of actual will be lost of course, now or never is jsettlers who form thc strength' and power the time. It is generally Ixdicvcd the j0f every republican State. The fear of
