BOARD OF EDUCATION Board will hold. nro-
badly, their last meeting on tomorrow evening
and the election of one half of the members will
take place, in accordance with the provisions Of the
law, on the first Monday in June. The Board is
composed of thiry-four members, one half of whom
retire annually. The election, therefore, of Com
missioner for each Ward, and also, Of Trustee and
Inspector, will take place the first week in June
During the last year there has been good deal Of
discussion in the Board, the subject of the intro
duction OF the Bible into the Common Schools and
much angry feeling and party spirit, have been
hbied by all parties-stimuating those bitter preu-
dces, that are derogatory the character Of true
Religion, to the common. principles Of Christianity.
In the approaching election of Commissioners, In
spectors and Trustees, for the different Wards, the
religious element that has laery so convulsed the
entire country, and which may now be said to dis
tract the people Of the old world will form distinct
issue, and the people will have to calmly decide
upon It. Amendments to the School Law, which
provide Tor the introduction of the Bible in the Com
mon Schools, have lately been prepared by Mr. Allen,
which was voted down., and those offered by Mr..
Nlcol! were adopted, and the Bill as amended in the
Board was sent with due despatch to Albany--where
1t now sleeps on the table Of one of the Committees
and will not be acted upon at this session of the Le-
gslature, VIII en- II is expected will close on Thurs
day next Thus II will be seen that all the labor and
debate, which have been spent this subject in the
Board OF Education, have all gone for naught Of the
members retiring, the majority consist Of what we
shall call Qor Distinctions sake,) anti-Bibcals, or
those who are averse to the introduction of the Bibles
in the Common Schoos-while those who remain in,
and whose terms have not expired, possess strong
majority in favor OF its introduction in the Common
Schools. The approaching election, therefore, will
be contested with extreme bitterness, and every
thing will be done to inffame the minds of electors
on this exciting subject.
THEATRrcAIs.-The Park Theatre was crowded
last evening with highly fashionable audience and
the Bohemian Girl was rapturously applauded. This
popular Opera is still the reigning favorite with the
musical public.
The New Bowery was also filled from pit to cell
appearance, and appears again this evening in new
drama. The talented young actor, Mr.. Clark, and
Mr. B. Williams, of the Old Bowery also made their
first bow. The house is well ventilated, and we pre-

STATE sENTINEL--wEEKLx.

We hope our friends throughout the State
will continue their subscriptions, and aid us
as much as they can in obtaining new ones.
Grateful for such %favors, VIC shall always en-
deavor to repay them by increased energy,
enterprise and improvement. Our ambition
has chiefly been to establish at the Capital
of Indiana, a newspaper of a respectable and
useful character. We. may have fallen short
in our aim, but we have done sall that our
means would permit to accomplish it. The
people generally, and particularly the Dem
ocratic party, its eminent members especial
", ought to feel some interest in this matter,
and we trust will do all in their power to aid
us. =,

Mexico.

Our latest advices from Mexico are of the LIST June:
They we're received here via Charleston, by the Nep-
tuna, a fortnight agoi since which time, although we
have had other news by the Anahuac, which vessel
left Vera Cruz on the 29th ultimo; by the Tit, from
Havana to New Orleans, bringing Havana dates of
the 18th June and by the ~Juaquida, arrived at New
Orleans on the 10Th, from Tumpico lst June, we have
nothing as late. =.
These accounts left the Mexican Congress at work
on the tariff laws, which viii, undoubtedly be so franz
ed as to miure the United States as much as possible,
and favor England. Then comes up a question with
regard to our existing treaty of commerce with Mex
leo, to, which she, perhaps will, reply, that we have
broken faith with her such being the popular view
in Mexico of our proceedings in regard to Texas.
The feeling in relation to any direct action by way of
retaliation, was evidently sbdued a little. 1t had, for
the time being, resolved itself to this: a determine
ton to wait for Texas to refuse to'be annexed.
The Texian Congress is now in session and from
what is known with regard to the disposition of a
majority of the delegates there is no doubt of an over
whelming majority in favor of annexation. On that
event being known, 1t is more than probable that Mex
leo, unless a revolution should take place in that coun-
try in the meantime will authenticate the use of the
letters of marqe which are now known to be in exis-
tence.
1t is wrong to suppose that we have made any pro-
gress in the, settlement of this grave question: We
know no more, nor is anythingmore knowna Wash.
nigton, than was known equally well a month ago.

Inhuman Murder - Five Persons
- IButchercd in Cold Blood.

Beverly Adcock, in company with his wife, mother,
small children, and two negro boys, were moving
from Pontococ, Mississippi, either to Missouri or IL
linois, where a brother of Adcock resides. Aperson
of the name of A. ]. McCannon, from Columbus,
Miss, fell in company with them and travelled with
them some days, until the 18th ult, when, as the Ell
der of the negroes says, he murdered Adcock, his
wife and mother, with an axe, while asleep. He
then with a knife deliberately cut the threats of the
two children, a boy and a girl. He then took tile
two most valuable horses, the two negroes, money
and articles of the murdered family, and left, threat
ening to murder the negroes, if they divulgedthe Sc
cret. Their bodies lay undiscovered until Tuesday
morning, and when found, the bodies of two of the IN
dividuals were considerably eaten and torn by the
hogs. A company of some six or eight gentlemen,
of Jackson, Tenn, Immediately started In pursuit
Before overtaking him, however, he had been apPre-
hended by some gentlemen of Spring Greek, in COM
pany with the stage passengers, about sixteen miles
northeast of Jackson. After he was laPprehended,
blood was found upon his knife and pantaloons,
which, the negro stated, he had frequently attempted
to wash of, but could not. All the circumstances, III
fact, are so strong that there is no doubt left upor
the mind Of the community but that he is the guilty
wretch.

The governor Chambers in whom the Baltimore
the bosom friend of General Harrison, and one of his
first appointments" vetoed the bill for submitting the
old constitution to the vote of the people again an An
gust next. The legislature, however, oyerruled his
veto, and passed the bill by more than two-thirds.
The "American'' chuckles at the course of the wings,
In resisting the bill, and significantly asks, Who
needed to be told how the wings voted, and how the
democrats voted on such a question"
And why, we ask, should the course of the demo-
Gratis be objected to! The constitution, as it was
originally framed, was never submitted to the people
at all. Why should it not be nowf What injury
can arise from the measure! Why should not % the
constitution. as it came from the hands of the late
convention, with the large boundaries, be submitted
to the votes of the people in August next, for their
approval or rejection 20 Suppose her people were
now to pass upon the original constitution, which
they have not yet done-suppose them to adopt 1T =
what mischief can arise from it! The " Baltimore
American objects that - the further PROBABILITY is, that
Congress will allow her to come in upon terms Of. her
own d~ictation, and in contempt of the authority Of the
general government"
What dictation is there in the case 2 II Congress
chooses to recede from the boundaries which they
have proposed. and grant those which Iowa desires
where is the d~ictation, or the contempt Of aufhorit IL
Congress may ~recede-Congress may think low
the dictation Iowa cannot be admitted into tn,
Union, in contempt Of authority. until Congress b
nleasea to grant them permission. 1t Is, of course
voluntary, not a compulsory act. 1t is an act o
eree grace, not of constrained contempt-Union.

At Natchez, Mississippi, the opinion of Judge Cage
has been given against the Commercial Bank, against
which there were eleven charges involving forfeiture.
The Bank stands. convicted by the judgment of the
court on the demurrers Of fraudulent subscription Of
stock of failing to require ohe-fth of the capital to
be paid in previous to going INTO operation Of be-
comming insolvent by the Encouragement Of its Of
fcers, and of a fraudulent refusal TO pay specie on
their notes; of a failure to establish -four branches
with certain amounts of capital, being four distinct
causes Of forfeiture. If the bank pleads over we
learn that two other causes of forfeiture will be as
signed, to wit: the payment of dividends in specie to
the stockholders of the bank white in a state Of sus-
pension, and the fraudulent issue of notes or bills,
commonly known as ''blue backs" at q time when
the bank was insolvent and had no means with which
TO redeem the same.
