The WABASH AND ERIE CANAL, Indiana, is now
finished to Terre Haute and on the Goth Of October
the first boat arrived there from Toledo, amid the
rejoicngs Of the people. This is the first division,
Of 80 miles, completed by the trustees, and makes
225 miles Of canal now in within the State Of
Indiana, and $40 miles (including the Ohio por-
tion) from the head Of Lake Erie. The canal has
penetrated the very heart of the rich valley Of
the Wabash and the next season will doubtless de-

"butchers grinding their axes" or the
"guillotine at work." or something of the
kind in the Union this morning, touching
the removal of Mr.. Washington from the

Ono LEeIsLATuRE.-The contested election in
Hamilton county is not the only one which renders
the majority matter Of uncertainty. Itappears that
the seats of three Democratic members, returned
for Coshocton, Guernsey, Jackson, and Gallia
counties will be contested by Whgs.

AS it is well that the Free-Soilers in the
Bay State should know what their Loco
foco allies and friends think of them, we
quote from the Union paragraph that
cannot fail to be interesting to the gentle
men named in it. We might add that it
will be interesting to the southern Democ-
racy to know the character of the men
with whom their northern brethren have
traternized. To save the Union from the
modification Of denying that it ever said
any such thing, we would refer it to its
columns for the 10th of August last. If
the Union should deny it, we shall be
obliged to get the authenticity of the ex-
tract certified and sworn to before justice
OF the peace, or some other gentleman of
"civil experience" In that case we shall
be obliged to beg the favor of the foreign
organ to give us access to its files, for as
ours will exhibit nothing in this behalf
but the hole left by the ex-scissorized par
agraph, we shall have no power of making
'Judicial proof in the premises.
In spite of our warning, we expect to
see the Union come out tomorrow morn
ing with the solemn averment that such
paragraph never appeared in its columns,
editorially or correspondentially. We
shall see
From the Union Of august l6.
And tchat are the political characters of Charles f.
adams and Samuel c. Phillips? They are known
throughout New England to be ultra Wing aristo-
Gratis of Massachusetts, without single impulse or
sentiment favorable to true Democracy. Mr.. Adj
AIMS is the of the late President of that name
and inherits all his austere Federalism, and his
bitter hostility to the South and to the Democratic
party. The other gentleman, Mr.. Phillips, is
equally welded to Federalism, and equally hostile
to the South and to Democracy. And these gentle
men are also prominent leaders of the Stree Democ-
racy," who haughtily propose to the Democratic
party, as the terms Of union, the abandonment of
their old organization and platform, and the adop-
ton of the organization and platform adopted at
Buffalo.

Two MORE MuRDERs.-Ere the echoes of the sem
tence consigning the Northford murderer 10 the
scafiold have died away, we are again obliged 10
chronicle the death, by red handed violence Of
more citizens Of this county. The last victims are
two aged English people, Mr.. Charles Smith and
his wife, who have Tor some time been the sole &C
cupants OF the solitary house situated upon the
brow Of East Rock, short distance from the north
easterly city limits. IL seems that they have been
missing from their residence since Monday Of the
present week, on which day the appearance Of the
house indicates that two guests must have been ex
pected 10 dinner. The table was spread for four
and over an extingushed fire pot hung, contain
ing corned beef. boiled cabbage was in a dish
upon the hearth. The continued absence Of Mr.
and Mrs. Smith induced a search, which termi-
mated this morning in finding the bodies Of the old
man and his wife. They had evidently been de-
coyed from their house and brutality butchcred.
The corpscs we're found short distance from
foot path which leads from the top Of the rock 10
the Turner House'-that Of Mrs. Smith with the
face down and fracture the back part Of the
head, apparently caused by a blow from an axe A
little in advance Of the body Of the woman was that
Of her husband, lying on the back, with horrd
wound ON the forehead, probably inflicted by the
edge OF the same weapon with which the woman
was murdered. Mr.. Smith is over eighty years Of
age, and served for many years in the army Of the
Duke Of Wellington in The peninsulsr war and
other campaigns. An inquest was held and the
verdict Of the jury is, THAT they came 10 their
death by violence inflicted upon them by some per-
son or persons TO the jury unknown"
The remains OF the murdered pair were brought
10 this city this afternoon, and at the house
in Silver street. Washington district, occupied by
Mr.. George Kennedy, who married a daughter OF
the deceased A more horribly CHASTITY sight than
that Of the corpses cannot be imagined. The head
Of the woman is battered 10 Jelly, and she has
marks Of violence upon her face, cuts, &c. The
only injury which we perceived on Mr.. Smith, was
small but deep incisonsl wound over the left eye.
When found, they within two hundred yards
Of their house, and the path 10 render IL
very singular that they remained 80 long undis-
covered. Whoever did the deed il sure 10 be dis
covered, and reap the penalty Of his crime.
We are informed that the house had the marks OF
having been thoroughly searched for plumber,
though the ruffians did not succeed in getting hold
of $50 or $40, which has since been taken from a
bed by those engaged in judicial investigation Of
the sad affair. From this, IL would seem that plum
der must have been the object Of the perpetrators
Of the double homicide.-INsp Haven Pal, la.

FLoGefNe IN THE NAvy.-The adjourned meet
ing at the fremont Temple last evening was very
well attended. Captain Girdler presided, and
Watson G. Haynes fulfilled his promise Of making
full exposition on the subject Of fogging in the
navy, and showed how the cat is used by smartly
LAYING il on a cushion. bottomed chair, making the
dust hy freely. He thought an increase Of brains
in officers, and a reduction Of mustschios, would
tend 10 the Moderation Of the condition of the
sailors.
Addresses were also made by Wendell Phillips,
Robert Rantoul, jr, and Alderman Grant, and res
olutions passed in favor Of abolishing fog
ging and the spirit ration acknowledging Com
r. +. stockton's efficiency, kindness and humanity
as a commander, and approving Of the manner in
which Mr.. Haynes is executing his mission in be-
