INDIANA LEGISL ATURE-STATE
CREDIT.

CREDIT.
The approaching session of our Legisla-
ture will be one gilmore interest than most
of our citizens are disposed to think; and i'll
not as lengthy as some, and we are disposed
to think it will not be, it will be at least a
uorkfng one, and that at the present crisis of
our affairs is what is desired, provided always
that the efforts of our servants(or masters,
for they often prove themselves such, be di-
rected in the righ channel.
First in importance is the matter of our
State debt. 1t is time now, high time that
we were making som show of anxiety in re-
gard TO this matter which so nearly concerns
our honor as a Commonwealth. We are
called on by our solvent sister States all a.
round us-who never swerved from wright
by those who FEEL our disgrace as their
Ito extricate ourselves from the slough in
to which we have fallen, and we can do it.
The endorsements of the business commu-
nifty are passing away. and public opinion
throughout the State is daily assuming a high
er and more healthy lone with regard to this
subject; and we are confident the People
will cheerfully assist the Executive and the
Legislature in reinstating again our cred it;
and we shall look with no little anxiety for an
expose of the policy which our Executive
deems best calculated to effect this object.
1t is upon ourselves we must now rely. We
can no longer look for aid from the General
Government, The question of the distribu-
ton ofthe proceeds of the public lands-a
measure SO long cheished and contended for
by the Wing party,is set at rest by the cleo
ton Of Mr.. Polk, at least for a time, and
from that quarter we can hope for nothing.
But this should not delay US for a moment
in our endeavors to place Indiana in hel
rightful position, among the first of the States
We quote the expression ola contemporary

sent session, but which we have not TIM

FROM TEXAS.

The New Orleans Bee, of the 10th, says:
The schooner Lone Star arrived yesterday
from Galveston, bringing US papers TO the I'd
inst. They contain little news. The Gal
weston NeWs of the lst, contains a cores
pondence from Corpus Christi, confirming
the account published a few days ago, OF a
battle between the Commanche Indians and
the troops OF Mier and Guerrero. After
beating the Mexican troops, killing some for
ty and taking a piece of artillery, the Indians
retreated into the interior, killing and taking
prisoners until they reached China, $50 miles
from the Rio Grande, there destroying the
Rancho Ramiras. They were attacked by
600 troops, who defeated the Indians, and
took from them near 200 prisoners. The
loss on the side of the Indians was about 30,
among whom is said TO be their chief Santa
Anna. The Mexicans were still in pursuit.
1t is stated by the Galveston Mems that
the long talked OF treaty with the Comman-
ches and ten other of the wild Indian tribes
has been ratified.
The Vindicator, speaking of Gen. Houst-
on's agency in effecting The treaty, remarks
''This gratifying result of nearly three
years labor, persevered in under every unfa-
vorable circumstance, must indeed be a
source of qualification to him as well as TO
every genuine Texan. No feature in the
policy of his admiration has beer SO much
misunderstood or so much reviled by the OPP.
position; yet with an indonitable resolution,
and a steadiness of purpose highly praise
worthy, he has pursued it 10 consummaiion.n

MORE OF THE REsULr.-The New York

full as good as those he sold on Monday, and
gets but four shillings apiece for them. The

EcL1PsE.-There was an eclipse of the moon
on last Sunday night which lasted near four
hours. Owing to the hazy slate of the wealth
er the eclipse was barely visible in its first
stages, and attracted very little attention
from our citizens. This, or some other
cause, hufed the sold Gentleman in the

ing us poo devils in this little world in total
darkness for that length of time. 1t is well
for us perhaps, that the ssold man" didn't
"keep his mad up always" else Wings and

like to have him answer it--when he ha.

Who art thou? What. art thou? pray answe
me soon!
You're a iunny old codger, you Man in the
Moon!-
With your great gogle eyes staring broadly up
Whoever you are, you are not an Adonis!
They say that ''those eyes, are great oceans o
brine,
And that mountains ~disigure thar great face o
thine;
Butin my private thought, you're a drunken oil
beast,
And your love of old wine will account for III
resti
But tell US your secrets.you curmudgeOn, you
Shake up your old knoledge-box, and let out
now do!
Have you got any women mp yonder, above,
! To make your old heart sche with Envy an
Love?
Are they pretty black-eyed, and with long curl
ing hair?
With lips pouting richly-a sweet luscious pair
With u full rounded bust, a hand neat and Ia
perIng?
Enough to set sOld Joye himself' out u capering
With the gait of a Juno. a small foot and ankle
A heart in which jealousy never can ranktr!
Now came my sweet monster, just grant M
: this boon,
5 To answer these questions, you Man in the
Moon;
And until my LIES hour-glass has shed its La
sand,
