At a weetingofthe board held at Rochester, a the Simst., for the purpose of elect ing Diretors for th ensuing year, the number was reduced from thirteen to nine. The following are the Directors elcted: TV". C. Uasjmh, ") W. J. Walkes. . D.G.Rose, ) Laporte. Col. V. A. Place. J Josefh Evass. Plymouth. I. Hooter. Rochester. A. M. IllGGlKS, I A. A.

Vv'e understand that no arrangements bTe. as yet, been entered into for the resumption of nork south of this place, but from Laporte here, the work is to be vigorously prosecuted. Jew EmcCd Bank. At the adjourned meeting of the Bauk Board of Commis sioners, held at Indianapolis last week, the efforts of our South Bend neighbors for the establishment of a branch at that place, were successful. We hare no ob jections to their having a branch of the Bank located amongst them no obsta cles to throw in the way of their pros perity in any particular whatever. But because a change of the branch from Mich igan City lo Laporte, necessarily involv ed a change from South Bend to some oth er point more remote from Laporte, the Register and other citizens, pitched into Plymouth, Marshall county, and her Rep resentative in the Legislature, like a thou rand of brick. The statistics procured five years ago, were raked up and resort ed tov for the purpose of lessening our claims, but instead of looking back, it was the imperative duty of the Commis sioners to look forward, in discharging the duties they were to perform. Our successful friends abandoned the notion of striving for the removal of the i rauch the Commissioners had located here at their first meeting, and concluded i'.ey would have an entire new one. The act authorized the establishment of 20 branches, and the Commissioners located 16 at their first meeting, leaving four to be located, as further investigation and propriety suggested. Seuth Bend got one of them. I XasSuChnselU Legislature The transac tions of the late session of this body bavo been of -e uch a disreputable character, thai the leading know-nothing press of the countrj repudiate them; and they go fur ther, by repudiating the members them selves. The Boston Know-Nothing and American Crusader, says: MThe Legisla ture passed many gooj acts some te.) bad ones. It commenced as an Ameri can body it did not end so." Whilst this organization thus pitches headlong into itself in Massachusetts, and the old liners continue to heap trouble upon i 1 3 hands, with a few more Virginia results, we cannot look upon its future prospects as very flattering. laporte k Plymouth Plank Road 3Ioney. Some of our citizens give a cold shoul der to the money lately issued by this company. It may, and will be, tempo rarily encouraged, so long as it is as well backed as at present, if for no other pur pose than to aid the enterprising contrac tor in finishing the Railroad from this place to Laporte. Several of cur business houses take it, and our county Treasurer will take it for taxes. Any of the lands belonging to the Railroad company can b purchased with it, at par. We ere informed that the president of the Plank Road company will redeem it with gold at two per cent about the same price any other current bank paper would bring in the market. Many insti tutions with less basis, have issued their cartloads of shin plasters, and if they hail from any source traceable to Wail street brokers, it would all be right; and as a general thing, the people have suffered as little from other quarters as from that. Iudhcrttien. We very often see Demo cratic papers boasting of accessions to tkeir ranks, of old National Whigs; and we frequently notice them guilty of the indiscretion of brusing old 6ores, by com paring the action and principles of the old Whig party with the present day new fangled notions of bnow-nothingism, ab olitionism, and self styled Republican ism. Such a course has no tendency to strengthen the claims of the Democracy to the better feelings of National Whigs. It should be recollected that the old whig party has, for the last twenty years or more, been the most formidable appo int ever encountered by the democratic party in this country. In 1S40 and 1848, it was successful with its Chief officers, and always up to 1852, held to and- advo cated measures, which at least, found fa vor with a large portion of the American people. Gen. Scott's defeat seems to have finished its work as an erganited party. There are, however, many hun dreds who were attached lo it from prin ciple, and tvho now refuse to barter their honest convictions for success in the ranks of abolitionism or know-nothing-ism who would prefer associating them selves with the democratic party, as they have ever recognized that party, as a gen eral thing honorable competitors. Fre quent allusions to their former political predilections, however, have no tendnecy to render them" welcome. Sam dead. The State Sentinel says that about six thousand persons assem bled in front of the Palmer House at In dianapolis on Tuesday evening week, and proceeded to bury Sam, he having met his death in Virginia during the past month. The fun of it is. they buried him with the honors of war. lie was no General never was in but lew engagements, in his life, and two of those were at Cincinnati and Louisville. California Progression. The Legislature of California has pas sed an act to suppress gaming, which took effect on the 17th ult. Every person who shall open or cause to be opened, any gaming bank or gam of chance, the whole or part of which belongs to him, in any house or other place whatsoever, is punishable by heavy fines. All notes, bills, bonds, mortgages or other securities or conveyances whatever, in which the whole or any part of the consideration, shall be for any money or goods, won by gaming or playing at cards, dice or any other game whatever, or bet ting on the sides or hands of any person gaming, or for re-imbursing or repaying any money, knowingly lent or advanced, tor any gaming or betting, or lent and advanced at the time and place of such gaming or betting, shall be void and of no effect. The same body his also passed an act to prohibit noisy and barbarous amusements on theSdbbath. which took effect on the first inst. It provides that any person who shall get up, or aid in getting up, or opening of any bull, bear, cock or prize tight, horse race, circus, theater, bowling alley, gambling house room or saloon, or any place of barbarous or noisy amusements on the Sabbath, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and on conviction thereof, be punished by fine not less than filty nor more than five hundred dollars. The act also provides for the punish ment of any person who shall pay an ad mission fee or purchase a ticket to visit such places, by a fine not less than ten nor more than fifty dollars. Hole ts the Pocket. The last Mount Vernon Advocate is the bearer of rather bad accounts from the pocket county. A nest of burglars in jail one slipped out at a ventilator. Two gentlemen had their watches stolen while lodging at a farm house rogue escnped. The county Treasurer had just been assaulted end stabbed by a ruffian, who also made his escape. A house occupied by a couple of notorious females, was burned down, and finally, the Editor of the Advocate announces that he has been the happy re cipient of a bucket of fine cherries. The Millerites have now fixed on the 10th inst., next Sunday, for the end, and positively "no postponement on account of the weather" or any thing else, this time. It will be bad if we are to be de prived of the gratification of seeing the liquor law go into effect. Virginia Election. Wise is elected Gov ernor by from 7,000 to 10,000 majority. Did he "stoop to conquer" this time? Democratic Congressmen are all elected with the exception of one district, and notenough has been heard from that to tell which way it has gone. Both branch es of tho Legislature are a little more democratic than last year. The Peru Sentinel of the 31st ult. says arrests have been made of persons charg ed with the robbery of the Clerk's office a short time ego, but as their examination is in progress, it forbears any further no tice at present. True Generosity. The Marietta (O.) Advocate says that many farmers in that section have refused to sell their corn to speculators at $1 40, and have chosen to divide it among their poorer neighbors at 81 per bushel. Such benevolence de serves tobe recorded. Twenty-four persons have been indict ed for participation in the late jiot in Chicago, and are to be tried in June. On Saturday last two young men were drowned in the Ohio river near the Ken tucky shore, opposite the mouth of the Miami. They were on a Pic Nie excur sion from Cincinnati, to a grove on the Kentucky shore. m a The Democrats of Putnam have formed a county association in opposition to Know Nothingisra. Many of the old line whigs have become members. Graham of the Pern Sentinel has most assuredly recovered his health. We have every evidence of it in hii last paper.- 'Go on with your rat killin," John. - AIIIUVAL, OF TIIU PACIFIC SEVE2VDAYS LATER FROM EUROPE. New Yobk, May 30. The fteamship Pacific arrived here about seven o'clock, unannounced, ow ing to a dense fog. She brings 135 pas sengersamong them, lion. R. McLean, U.S. Commissioner at China. The Pa cific arrived out at Liverpool on the P. M. of the 13'.h, and sailed for New York about noon on the 19th. The siege of Sevastopol makes but lit tle, if any progress. The latest dates by mail are to April 30, and by telegraph, so far as published, to the 12th of May. General Canrobert had reviewed the entire French army, ond assured them they would soon enter Sevastopol, either by the door or window. Symptoms have transpired of extended operations being about to commence on the part of the Allies. A force of 15.000 Turks, French and English, hastily embarked on board of the available ships at Sevastopol, and stood away in the direction of ihe Sea of Azof. They returned in a day or two, and as hastily disembarked. Omar Pacha and his troops were ma ing all speed to ensconce themselves again in Eupatoria. The combat on the night of the 21th, between the Russians and the French, was a desperate one. The Russians at tempted to take new rifle pits, and the French partially prevented thrm. 200 French were placed hors de combat. The French had managed to push their sappers considerably forward, and moun ted Several new guns. A dispatbh of Miy 1 says advances are progressing slowly, but surley. Lord Raglan's dispatch of the same day says the Russians had constructed a new battery on the left of Mamelon, and there was every appearance of tbe estab lishment of a large camp in the platau above Beleck, and on the north side, ex tending towards McKenzie's Farm. The Russians made asortie on the 11th on the advanced works of the left attack, but were repulsed with considerable loss. A short truce was granted on the even ing of the 10th, to allow the Russians to bury their dead in front of the Allies' ad vances. The French government is understood to have received dispatches announcing heavy rains, and that the trenches were full of water, thereby suspending opera tions. Count Coronini, the Austrian comman-der-in chief, had proclaimed martial law in the Principalities. The capitation tax on Christians in Turkey is finally abolished. A new manifesto from the Cz.tr orders a levy of 12 in every 1,000. in the sev enteen western provinces, to be comple ted by the end of July. A reconnoisance had ascertained that the Russians had 25.000 men at Saki. A dispatch states that Russia will not consider herself bound to abide by the two points, unless the whole of Germany remains strictly neutral. Indications of a more intimate rela tionship between Austria and Prussia are apparent, and an armed neutrality is becoming more and more probable. The Allies ere understood to have sent an ultimatum to the Swedish govern ment, and, as an indication that it will be accepted, Sweden is said to have or dered an immediate enrollment of mili tia. The French Baltic fleet had arrived, and the Allied fleet wns pushing forward. Later. Gen. Canrobert has resigned, and is succeeded by Gen. IVlissier. The Moniteur publishes the following as Canrobert's resignation dispatch: "My shattered health no logger allowing me to continue in the chief command, my duty towards my sovereign and my coun try compels me to ask you to transfer the command to Gen. Pelissier, an ex perienced leader. The army to which I leave him is full of war ardor and confi dence. I beseech the Emperor to leave me a soldier's place as General of Divi sion." The Minister of war replies in terms of acceptance, and gives Canrobert command of the corps of Gen. Pelletier. A dispatch from Canrobert, May 10, says: 'We continue our works before the place. Various attempts to smoke out the enemy by stink pots hnve perfectly suc ceeded. Our troops continut in excel lent condition.' Vienwa, Friday Evening. Things have undergone n change. New Aus trian proposition were forwarded yester day to London and Paris. It is said Aust ria will give her material support to the Western Powers, should they accept and Russia reject her propositions. Vienna, May 17. There is heavy firing every night at Sevastopol. The expedition to KertcU has not been renew ed. Three divisions of the French army have left Maslak for the Crimea. The cholera has almost disappeared. Berlik, Friday. Russian merchant men have been captured off Dunamunde, at Revel, while a flag of truce was flyiug. The cause is not known. London, Saturday. A. M. Quiet has been restored in the Ukraine. Telegraphic news from Berlin and Vienna fails to confirm the fact that Nessel rode, had resigned. He had issued a new circular, the contents of which are rii yet unknown. The clipper Great Republic has arrived at Marsellies, to embark troops. In Parlimenl, on Friday evening, Lord Panmure staled the detail of certain pro posed reforms in the army, having for their object the consolidation ot the civil departments of millitary affairs. Rumors of dissension in the British Cabinet gain ground. Lord John Russell was said to be the impracticable subject. . To the present time, between 3,000 and 4,000 recruits have been obtained for the Foreign Legion by British agents on the continent, independent of the Swiss. The Queen had condescended to bestow medals on private soldiers. who had re turned wounded from the Crimea. The distribution took place at the Horse Guards, where a throne, was erected on purpose. A fine military spectacle' was presented. i . Victoria handed over 500 medals in the space of an hour, com mencing with the Duke of Cambridge, Lords Cardigan and Lucap, Sir De .Lacy Evans, and ending with the private men. Great enthusiasm prevailed. notice of inquiry had been given as to whether Russia and the United Stales enjoy any private privileges with Japan. Lord Ellen bo rough's motion of want of confidence in the Ministers came up in the House of Lords on the 14th. His Lordship opened ihe debate with a bitter speech against the Ministers, and an open admission of the formidable power wield ed by public opinion, and denunciation of making appointments by favor instead of merit. Lord Panmure replied and moved the previous question. Lord Derby and others continued the debate, when, on a division, there were 71 for the resolutions and 181 against thern. Layard's motion of want of confidence comes up in the Commons on ihe 24th, and Milt.er Gibson's on the 21st. The King of Sardina is rumored to be negotiating a marriage with Queen Vic toria's eldest daughter. France. The Universal Exposition was opened in Paris, May 15lh, with much form and ceremony, although ihe arrangements were anything but comple ted. The Emperor and Empress were pre sent, with all the officers of state, and 80.000 persons. Pianori, the would-bo assassin of the Emperor, was executed nt 5 o,c!ock, in the prison. He admitted his guilt, but refused to make any developements, ex claiming "Vive la Republique!" just as the knife fell. An extrordinary story was rumored in the Faubourg Vise, that the pretended attack on ihe Emperor was a sham; that the real rianori was a police agent, who is sent out of the country, and a figure executed in his stead. It is said the Emperor is about to issue a manifesto to the army in the East, stating ihe reason of his not proceeding to the seat of war India The India mail had been tele graphed, with Calcutta dates to April the 10th. A treaty had been signed by the British and Dost Mohammed, in which perpetual peoce ws covenanted for, and the territo ries of the respective parties to be respected. Kren Philanthropy. Abolition philanthropy is keen. It watches for opportunities of exercise. A case in point occurred at Columbus, O., the other day. An entry appeared in the register of one of the'hotels as fol lows: "P. Ekicon, three ladies, one child, and tveo servants, New Orleans.' It had not been there long before a mag. istrate was applied to for a writ of ha beas corpus. It was granted, put into the hands of the Sheriff, and served. Mr. Ericon expressed a willingness to obey the writ, and promised to be at the coart house ihe next morning, at 10 o'clock, with his two servauts. At the appoiuted hour he appeared, accompanied as he proposed. The servants were ques tioned. They stated that their master (Mr. Ericon) had manumitted them at New Orleans some time since that they were now on their way vith him to Eu rope that they had no desire to leave him, and wished to be permitted to go on without interruption. Of course Mr. Ericon was immediately discharged. The abolitionists were incensed that the Sheriff should have left him upon his pa rol of honor during tbe night, and so fearful were they that he might escspe tvith his servants that they watched the hotel all through the dark hours. This is practical abolitionism We presume these same abolitionists, if cal led upon to do some really charitable kindness for a white brother, would find plenty of excuses for refusal. But let an opportunity present to steal a negro or annoy a slaveholder, and they are wide awake. Det. Fret Pre$s. Jail Bibds Loose. Charles Shick, alia John C. Davis, and David Sioner broke Jail in this place last Saturday eve ning and have not yet been recaptured. Sheriff Miller offers 8150 reward 8100 fur Shick and 850 for Stoner for their arrest and detention in nny Jail in Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, or Iowa. South Bend Register. The Eastern War a Falfillratnt of Prophecy. Many learned divines in England and elsewhere look upon the present war as fulfilling, or about to fulfill, 6ome of the most remarkable prophecies contained in the Scriptures to wit: the drying up of the prophetic Euphrates, in the destruc tion of the Ottoman Empire, and that the Russian power is nothing more nor less than Daniel's "King of the North," who is to come against that Empire with chariots and with horsemen and with many ships, and shall enter the countries, overflow and pass on, and go forth with great fury to destroy, and utterly to make away many, and shall plant the taberna cle of his palace between the seas, in the glorious holy mountain.' (Chap, xi., 40 45.) And some writers, in their zeal on this subject, have gone so far as to predict that when this King of the North the Russian power shall have "planted the tabernacle of his palace be tween the seas," that is, Palestine, then shall the Jews assemble from the four quarters of the globe, and make war up on this King of the North; and, aided by the powers of England and the United States, they will then and there, in the mountains of Judea, fight the great apo calyptic battle of the Armageddon. Of course the Autocrat, King of the North, is there to be conquered., "for he shall come to his end, and none shall help him," and his mighty hosts are to furnish that apocalyptic ''supper of the great God," lo which the fowls of heaven are to be called, "that they may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men,' h.c. (Rev. xix, 18.) Then are the Jews to be establish ed in their own promised land, become converted, and send forth streams to bless the wotld. But nous rerrons Havre Cor.N. Y.Jour. Com. By gentlemen from Lawrence and oth er Southern counties, we learn that the cut worm is doing much damage to the young corn in Southern Indiana. They are rendered much more destructive by the cool nights of the past two weeks. The army worm and hessian fly are also seriously injuring the wheat crop in tome localities. Sentinel. The Wheat Crop ta Cass Co. Three weeks ago, the wheat crop of this coun ty bid fair to yield a greater surplus than it has done for years past; but now, we say it with regretr the crop will be ligh ter than for a number of years gone by. All the white wheat sown in the county, so far as we can learn, is either entirely destroyed by the insect, or so much dam aged as to hardly pay for the harvesting, even at two dollars per bushel. The 6ptcies known as the Mediterranean, is the only kind which has withstood the ravages of the insect; probably not more than one-third of the wheat sown last fall was of this variety. If the corn crop should fail, the Lord help the poor! Ca&sopolis (Mich.) Democrat. . . i in. The parched earth was refreshed yes terday by copious rains, which must have a beneficial effect on the growing crops. Oats and corn were suffering by the long continued drought, but this rain will set all right again. The wheat in this region continues to look well and promises an abundant yield. In some few cases we hear it has been somewhat injured by the fly, but as a general thing the wheat through this county looks well. In some regions we learn the pros pect is not so good. The Angola (Steu ben Co.) Banner says, the "Wheat fields throughout this section, which two weeks ago looked so promising, are likely to be destroyed by the fly. Those who have examined the growing wheat, find the roots completely filled with the insect." The Logansport Pharos speaks of the fly as being quite destructive in that county and Miami, especially in the bar rens; and the Detroit papers state that the wheat in southern Michigan is almost entirely destroyed by the fly, Ft Wayne Sentinel. Famine in Lower Canada. The edi tor of the Montreal Commercial Adver tiser has been shown letters from minis ters and others, both in the eastern and western townships, which describe the amount of want existing among all clas ses, from the scarcity of breadatufis, as frightful in ihe extreme. In some parts, 6curvey has made its appearance. Amelioration or Slavery. The Port Gib6on (Miss.) Renille says: 'The project now being agitated by the people of North Carolina, and soon to be carried before the Legisloture of that State, is ono which, we think, to say the least of it, will create a sensation. It is, 1st, to render legal the institution of mar rhgft among slaves; 2d, to preserve sacred the relations between parents and their young children; and 3d, to repeal the laus prohibiting the education of slaves. If this modification in the laws is made in North Carolina, ns we are informed it probably wiU, other States will no doubt take the matter into consideration, and it will then be by far the most interesting feature of the pcculia. institution,' The main features of the movement have been : adopted in practice, or at least improved in theory, by nearly all our planters, so far as circumstances would allow; and we cannot but think tho modification is well worth the serious consideration of every Southern man. Should the Southern people think proper, after the investiga tion, to adopt ihe regulation in each of the slave States, slavery will then be re garded in on entire new light, and the enemies of the institution will bo robbed of their most fruithful and plausible ex cuses for ngitation and complaint.' (0"An Englishman has written a book for Ihe purpose of telling all the naughty things he can about A inerten. It is call ed "American Liberty and Government.' Among the facts stated in the work nre ihe following: Daniel Webster, nn emi nent American statesman, and author of a dictionary, was hung for the murder of one Dr. Parkman; Myron H. Clark was elected Governor of New York, to succeed Franklin Pierce. The Growiso Wheat. We regret to record the fact, that the growing wheat ia this county is suffering immensely from the insect. We had an opportuni ty of seeing a number of farmers at Dex ter, on Saturday last, and, by compa ring notes, it was found that nearly all the fields in that vicinity gave evidence of the depredation of the fly. We are not of those who are constantly fretting for fear of starvation, but it really looks a little like coming short this year. Ann Arbor Whig. 30th. The clerks of the following counties have failed to return to the Secretary of Slate, at Indianapolis, certificates as to the time the new liquor law was filed in their respective offices, viz: Elkhart, Kos- ciusko, Marshall, Martin, Perry, Stark, Steuben, Vanderburg, and Spencer. We learn that Gov. Wright will act promptly and determinedly in regard to these de linquent clerks. He will send to all those counties from which certificates are not received up to the 1st of June a spe cial messenger, at the expense of the State, to demand the certificates, and if they are not forthcoming, he will prompt ly take the Lecessary legal means to compel them to return the proper certifi cates immediately. Mad. Courier. Daring Rascality. A highly respect able lady who was coming in unattended on the Galena cars this morning, about four o'clock, made some inquiries of a well appearing young German, calling hjmself Albert E. Scbulch, but who also bore letters addressed to A Edward and A. Schuster, relative to the time of lear ing of the Mich. Central morning trains. Schulch said he was himself a railroad man." and would be most happy to give her assistance, and offered to escort her to the depot a short distance he said, which they would walk. She very grate fully accepted his services, and set out from the depot in his company, he carry, ing her hand baggage. .- Her being a stranger and it being in the dusk of morning, enables her to remember little as to the route they took, but it was long and devious, her-conductor finally stopping at a place she describes as a long low ualoon, with . a white curtain diawn across it towards the tear end. Here, as they entered, were found two mtn, oneholdin a light in. his ' hand, which at a word from her conductor, he extinguished, leaving the room in total darkness. The lady had the presence of mind to turn and retreat to the street whither Schulch soon followed her, apologising for his conduct, and giving several reasons therefor. They then proceeded to the depot where ihe rascal cooly demanded 85 for his services and was finally about to re ceive SI, when a trusty policeman over hearing the altercation, took our ntnaleur runner, railroad man, and gallant for lone ly females generally, inio custody, and Justice Aiken finished a complimentary benefit, get up in his behalf, in the Police Court, by a fine of 625 and costs. Wo give the item in txtento for the purpose of representing the imprudence of ladies trusting to the services of stran gers without the greatest caution, and the warning may be salutary to such scamps os the would be genteel young Schulch who lie in wait for such opportunities.
