PUBLIC MEETING.

We have been requested by number OF
citizens, of both City and Country, TO call a
Public Meeting TO be held at the Court
House on Monday evening next at O'Clock,
for the purpose Of testilying our lasting obi
CATION and deep gratitude to Cyrus TABOR,
Esq, Senator from Cass and Miami Counties,
for his manly, honest and patriotic course in
permitting himselfto be taken from a sick
bed and conveyed TO the Senate chamber, at
the risk of his life, thereby securing quo
rum for the transaction of business, and the
final passage of the Canal Bill. we owe
every thing 10 the manly, upright course of
Col. TABOR, who, although opposed TO the
measure, and excused by sickness from at
tendance in the Senate, would moi consent
that measure of such great importance to
the State should be defeated by SO disrepua-
BILE course of conduct on the part of the
opposers of the Bill. Wa hope the meeting
will be largely attended.

APREHENDED FINANCIAL CRISIS

The following article is translated by the
Commercial Advertiser from the New York
Courier des Etats Unis, of Wednesday, the
Doth:
The Rochester has has brought US no Par
is papers, but we have received letters which
announce the danger OF a double financial
crisis in England and France, whose effect
upon the whole of Europe must be disastrous.
One of these letters, from person holding
an eminent position in the Bank of France,
describes the position of the bank as the most
critical it has been placed in for thirty years.
The ordinary capital OF the bank is two hun
dred millions (of francs) in specie. This
amount has been reduced one-half within a
month by the withdrawal ofimmense amounts
for payments on railroad shares and for the
purchase of breadsuffs from abroad. The
Government usually has on deposit with the
bank hundred millions; at the end of De-
Gender this deposit was reduced to thirty
FIVE millions by the excessive and extraordi-
nary expenses in all the departments of the
Administration.
In this coniuncture, and the drain of spe-
GIG COuuuulHS, tuC Jain WuOSC Sdptldl was
reduced, on the 18th of December, seventy
FIVE or eighty millions of francs, applied to
| the Bank Iof England for loan OF FIVE millions
sterling, or hundred and twenty-five mil
lions of francs. But the bank of England is
itself in position sufficiently trying, conse-
quent upon the large purchases of grain from
abroad. and it is doubtful WHITTIER the aid can
be extended. The directors of the bank oil
France had meeting on the 4th of Deem
Der to devise measures for meeting the en-
ergency. They would resolve, probably
either 10 sell large number of securities oil
TO reduce their discounts and receive no pa
per having more than two months TO rum
Such course has not been taken by the
bank since the restoration, and our informant
believes that it will have severe effect Oh
the commerce oil Paris.
One of the least inconvenience OF the Fl
nancial crisis will be, probably, The enforced
suspension of certain railroad projects and The
dissolution of more than one company, AL
ready on the Exchange a; Paris, was discus
sed question of high financial importance
namely, whether the government would re
fund the deposites Tor preliminary payments.
of companies that may be broken up. These
amount in all to 70 100000 francs. The re-
payment of these deposites, which are re
quired as guarantee for the completion o(tht
works proposed, will form question OF
which the Legislative chambers probably vii
have 10 decide.

BROTHER JONATHAN.

The origin of this term as applied to the
United States, is given in recent number of
the Norwich Couri er. This editor says il was
communicated by Of the most Intelligent
gentlemen in Connecticut, now upwards OF 80
years Of age, who was an active participation in
the scenes of the Revolution. The story is as
follows: When Gen. w ashington after being
appointed commander of-the Army of the Reyo-s
lutionary War, came to Massachusetts to or
ganize it, and make preparations for the de-
fence of the country, he found great destitu-
ton OF ammunition aud other means necessary
to meet the powerful foe he had TO contend
with, and great difficulty &c obtain them. If
attacked in such condition, the cause at once
might be hopeless. On one occasion at th at anx-
ious period, consultation Of the officers was
had, when it seemed way conId be devised
to make such preparation as was necessary.
His ExceIlency, Jonathan Trumbul, the elder.
was tn en- Governor of the State Of Connecticut,
on whose judgment and aid the General placed
the gre atest reliance, and remarked we must
consult 'sBroiher Jonathan'' the subject. The
General did sO,and the Governor was successful
in supplying many of the wants Of the army
When difficulties after arose, and I'll e army was
spread over the ountry, il became a byword,
I'VE must consult Brother Jona;han.n The
term Yankee is still applied to portion, but
"Brolher jonathan" has now become designa-
ton of the whole country, as John Bull has for
England. a44

o. Santa Anna, says the Washington cor
responder, of the Richmond Wing, is a
lucky fellow. He has the good will of both
governments. James K. Polk and Locofo-
coism have appointed him commander-n-
chief of the Mexican army, and the Mexican
Congress have made him President of the
Republic! II is difficult TO tell whether Lo-
cofocoism or the Mexicans treat him with the
greatest consideration. Now that he is ad-
yanced, be ongh, TO appoint Mr.. Polk TO the
Office which the latter SO generously con-
ferred on him.

These advances are so extraordinary, that
our correspondent deems it proper 10 remind
us that this is but a first report, which he
does not guaranty.
The Hiberna brings out from two hun.
dred 10 three hundred thousand pounds ster-
ling, i'll specie.
The money market OH the other side was
perfectly quiet and without change. e
BY the Hibernia we have the arrival ofthe
new Governor General of Canada, with bis
suite.
The effect of these advices upon our own
markets is not yet disclosed There is, of

The political news is not of much impor-
lance.
France has protested against the occu-
patton and suppression of the Republic of
CracOw.
The money market was quiet.
The English manufacturers were greatly
cheered by the prospect of full and active
spring trade, held out in the message of the
President OF the United States, which gives
assurance that The low rates Of duties
imposed by The tariff of 1916 viii be main
tanned. =.
The newspapers on the oihersde assail the
Presidents message for IFS Argument in de-
fence Of the Mexican war; the reason being
deemed insufficient. They conirovert his
declaration that the war was not for conquest
The proposed annexation of California was
more unpopular than that OF Texas.
The French Government has proposed
reduction of the duties on the imporlations
of grain.
A terrible inundaiion had visited the Ro-
man States, occasioning great loss of prop
erty, and distress among the unfortunate in
habtanls. The Pope was contributing 10 The
relief of his people and had reduced the du-
lies on grain.
The famine and starvation in Ireland had
increased to fearful extent. The people
were fleeing TO England for food. There
was also great distress from the same cause
among the Highlands of Scotland.

GREAT INDIAN BATTLE.

A letter from gentleman at council
Bluffs, dated on the 18th December, to his
correspondent in 81. Louis, states that on
the previous day, band of Omahas were
met by band of the Sioux, in the neigh
borhood of the Bluffs, and that battle en-
sued between them; and that the Sioux
killed sixty oflhe Omahas before the conflict
terminated.
The following particulars We find in a
letter TO the ST. Louis Republican,:
sit was cod-blooded bulchery of woman
and children, in the absence OF, the warrl-
ors of the village. On the night of the 18th
and 18th, the letter states, wa party of
Yaneton Sioux Indians defeated and destroy
ed fourteen tribes of the Omaha tribe of
Indians, located at the time at Woods
Bluffs, situated about six miles from this
place-Bellview. The men and warriors of
the Omahas had left the camp on hunt; and
the Sioux, soon after they reached the camp,
discov erd that they only had women aud chill
dren to contend with. The slaughter was
terrible-soventy-three were killed, and nine
Teen MORALLY wounded. Two men made
their escape-one ofthem named Jos. La
fleche, trader in the imploy OF Mr. Peter A.
Sarpy, and at the lime in charge OF stock
of goods.
He ran from the scene of blood bare-fooled,
and arrived at Bellview with both feet frozen.
Mr.. Sarpy and Maj Miller, the present agent,
dispatched a party of men TO ascertain the
facts, and confirmed, on their return, the re-
port of Lafieche. They also report that five
of the Sioux Indians had been killed, no
doubt stabbed by The Omaha squaws. Go
ing twenty miles further than the ground of
the massacre, they found the place where
the goods Of the trader had been deVlded
among the robbers.
1t seems, adds the letter, that fate is
against the Omaha Indians. Four or five
days before this event took place, one lodge,
camping at Cabanne's old trading house,was
attacted by a war party OF Ayonas, commanded
by the we'll known chief White Cloud, and
four of the men wounded, and one woman
killed.

Or We have seen a letter from Charles
Butler, ESQ.,, Agent of the Foreign Bond
holders, and written since the passage OF the
bill in relation to the "Public Debt and Ca
nal," in which he says:
"'The amendments, which were suggested
by the Committee of Bondholders, in order
TO carry into effect the law of last winter,
have generally been adopted, and in form
Which cannot fail, think, to gire satisfac-
ton to the great body Of Bondholders."
The above, coming from the high source ii
does, would seem 10 put 10 rest all reason
abls doubt as to the full and entire acqui-
escence on the part Of the Bondholders in
the amended bill referred to, which, by so
triumphant majority, has passed both branch
es OF the Legislature, and received the appro-
val Of the Governor We may now conf
IDENTITY look forward 10 the early commence
ment of operations on our Cana, and the en-
ergeiic completion of work which will add
so materially TO the welfare and prosperity Of
our State, and we rejoice in the consuma-
ton of an arrangement which is calculated
to confer such benefits on Indiana, and, in
connection with the adjustment of her State
Debt, place her prosperity upon sound and
enduring basis.
