The aims and objects of this institution are now
generally understood by the public, and, we are
gratified in being able TO add, also well APP
proved; yet may be profitable at times To invite
attention To them. of
We have before us the quaint and excellent out
line engravings by barley, illustrative of the Lee
gend of Sleepy Hollow. 1t is fine in conception,
and most admirable in execution. We thought
we held in our imagination a vivid picture Of Mr..
Ichabod Crane in each and all OF his vicissitudes
but these outlines have convinced us of the imper-
fectness of our portraiture, and made manifest
the power of master hand. This set OF engrav-
ngs forms one of the series issued by the Art Union
for distribution among its members.
The various publications Of this Institution may
be examined at the counters Of Messrs. Taylor &
Maury, whoare, believe, the agents for this city
We would advise all lovers of the fine arts, and all
parsons who can realize feeling of pride at the
excellence of their countrymen in laudable pur-
suit to call at the above establishment and mani
fest their good will by the subscription of the small
sum Of five dollars, which will constitute them
members of the Union, secure to them copy Of
one of their beautiful productions, and chance
also of obtaining, in the distribution by lot, in De-
cember, one of the rich and valuable paintings
which are thus disposed of annually.
The artists Of our country, who have long Ian
guished in isolated heplessness, have, in the Art
Union, established a means of encouragement and
a school of progress from which we earnestly hope
to witness the happiest results

weekly Journal.

For some time past, the Journal has been
the only Weekly paper regularly issued to
the people of this neighborhood. As large
and well filed newspaper, which has been
issued almost without single failure for
over fifteen years, and thus with ample
guarantee for its permanency and usefulness,
it certainly deserves the. support not only OF
every member of the Wing party in this re-
gion, but of all citizens who would have a
good paper hailing from, their own neghbor-
hood, and whose principal object is by lis la
bors to increase the population of "The PocE-
ct" and forward the interests OF that popula-
ton. We believe our Democratic subscri-
bers will say, that since we have had con-
troll of the Journal, their feelings have not
been rudely touched nor insulted. asmembers
of an opposite party, by anything which has
appeared in this paper brought oft by honest
party differences. We have occasionally
showed up an individual of 81 the party" but
we believe Democrats felt sufficiently asham-
ed Of them, to rejoice at the act. ......
During this spring and sumner we antici-
pate visiting towns in this neighborhood, and
introducing ourself and paper, to the acquain-
lance of the good people, that we may first
understand the direct wants of particular
communities, and thus be enabled to speak
in the Journal of the desires of the citizens,
and know better how to write for their tastes
and feelings-and secondly, by introducing
our paper more generally, to secure for it a
proper increase Of patronage.

PRoGREss OF RAILROADS TO AND FROM
NAsHvILLE.-We copy the following from
the Nashville True Wing of Saturday:
-Four thousand tons of the iron for the
Nashville and Chattanooga railroad have al
ready arrived at New Orleans, and about l..
600 tons have been shipped to this city. The
company will commence laying down the rails
from Nashville towards AIurfreesboro in June
or July, and IN December at Chattanooga, so
as to meet near the middle of the line.
We are rejoiced to learn than companies
are now about TO be organized to build a rail-

opposite direction to Bowlinggreen KY. Men
OF the requisite enterprise and ability are TAX

contracted, This is going head' in the
right way. ftr.t

From the Louisville Courier.l
n Death of Calhoun.
%" WASHINGTON, March 81. P. M
w. N. TIALDEMAN:

w. N. HALDEMAN:
Dear Sir-The sad event which some DAYS
since Iadmonished you was rapidly approach
ing has TRANSFERRED. 1t occurred this morn
ing at ten minutes before seven O'Clock. when
the spirit of John G. Calho an, rook its fight
from this scene of trouble and care to the re-
gions Of bliss and peace. The blow has fall
en- heavily upon his friends, though for days
and weeks past has the mandate been per-
ceptibe upon his forehead-"datst thou art
and Unt0 dust must thou return" And
large circle of prersonallriends and admirers,
are convuIsed with grief at the loss of one
who. in all the private relations Of life they
revered, whether as neighbor, friend or ac-
quaintence. As a man of genius, talent and
originality of thought, he had but few supe-
riors among those whom the nation regarded
as their choicest statesmen although very
large portion of his countrymen believe that
these greatest gifts from God to man, had
been to great extent abused, in the man.
ner in which they had been employed. To
ambition he was votary, which in the end
led him to the sorest disappointment though
there was scarce place. save the Presiden-
cy, within the gift of his countrymen, to which
he had not at one time or another been ele
waited. In the pursuit for the qualification o f
that ambition even TO repletion, his political
career was an inconsistent and varying one,
the weight of his influence and talent being
generally thrown into the scale of that po-
Iitical party where he supposed he had the
most to hope for personally.
To his own section of the Union. he was
wed with an idoatry that not only destroyed
most Of his usefulness, as one of her brightest
jewels, but which even, from an imprudence
and an extremity, in the advocacy of her
rights, has well nigh led to her destruction.
In the great and unparalleled controversy
now waging between the North and the
South, lie was the great stumbling block in
the way of d satisfactory accommodation Of
the whole affair; and who shall say, but
what, now that his earthly career is ended.
that, which both extremes of the Union so
much reconciaton--shalI not be
speedily found ? But have ''come to burg
Cesar, not to praise him." and would have
the chambers of the tomb save his memory
from the. rude rouch of uncharitable reflec-
tons. He has acted an important part IN the
drama of life, and more than lived out the
appointed time of man-three score years
he has been gathered unto his fathers, where
| fervently hope. I'D ..r.rl. ..,.'..-..-
His eyes unbeclouded are looking abroad,
On the river OF life, and the city of God .-
On scenes, which no pencil or pen can PORTRAY,
Where the splendors OF heaven increasingly play"

ly removed TO the building adjoining the City
Clerks Office, on First street between Main

IN neat style, and is prepared to perform op

in a manner not to be surpassed by any Den
fist in the larger cities. DR.. B. is well known
in this city, and indeed in this region, as an
excellent Dentist. He is visited by persons

IFThe following dispatches are taken
from the Louisville Courier received yester-
day:
New York, April 6.
Money was very scarce at San Francisco,
and it was readily commanding from ten to
fifteen per cent. permonth.
( The overland emigrants arriving in Cali
fornia. who reached the country by the way
of Santa Fe and the northern route, have
suffered much particularly from the attacks
OF the hostile Indians; bat those who arrived
from the Salt Lake had undergone awful
hardships, many of the unfortunate creatures
having been compelled to subsist for some
time upon dead earcases. A party of sew
enteen wandered off in search of a new pass
and portion of them, it is thought persisted
in the mountains. Among them was Mr..
Baker, formerly publisher ola paper at
Utica, New York. This is the only one Of
the party whose name could be obtained.
A joint stock company had been formed at
San Francisco, to which 100000 had been
subscribed. Thos. o. Larkin was appointed
President The object Of the company is to
build four Pacific steamers of 1000 tons bur-
then each. 1t was the design-of Mr. LarIin
to proceed to the States. there to purchase or
contract for the building Of the desired steam
ers.
The past winter has been more severe than
usual.
| All the towns and villages are represented
to be making active exertions to remove the
seat of Government.
| A letter states as follows:
I" The floating population is drawing on,
and digging implements are being taken up
again or TO speak more correctly, all persons
are preparing for the Mines from whence
they anticipate to OBTAIN stores Of treasure,
the news of which is waited with every
breeze from the golden regions
| Those who have remained in the various
4 diggings have labored at intervals during the
winter, with astonishing fortitude, and toler-
able success. The average yield per day
being from So to $50.
Gov. Burnett,i in regard to the slavery CUES
ton, says hat the people will settle that ques-
/ ton for themselves, as the people of the sew
eral States formerly did. He says it is their
misfortune that the two countries are too far
apart for Union; Maine and Texas might as
well be united.

ANOTHER RoBBERY-We learn from a
citizen of Princeton that on Saturday night
last, the dwelling of Mr.. Stephen Fisher, of
that place was entered BY thieves and all his
money. amounting 10 $3.50, was stolen. The
money was contained in small desk, in MIR.
Fishers room, and where he was sleeping at
the time On the same night, "a valuable
horse belonging to Dr. Graf, was taken from
his stable, probably by the same person, or
persons who robbed Mr.. Fisher. No traces
OF the scoundrels as yeti RePublican.

A few days since we had the pleasure of
making our first visit TO charming place of
resort, known hereabouts as the Salt Wells
or Springs. 1t is situated about mile from
Main street, on the bank of Pigeon Creek,
near the second bridge. This beautiful spot
is called the Salt Wells, fromsthe exceeding
brackishness or sadness of the water at the
Well, which is dug through a solid rock
This water is said to possess medicinal vir-
tues, and is known to have affected several
remarkable cures. In company with the
principal proprietor, Squire Rowley one of
our ola citizens, we walked over the grounds,
which contain about sixteen acres, beautifully
laid of, and sprinkled over with arbors, and
shaded by tall straight forest trees. These
grounds lay on beautiful decline or slope,
and afford most delightful place of summer
resort for all classes. Recorder Rowley and
Mr.. Clifford, proprietors, are bestowing much
attention upon the garden, in making it both
ornamental and useful. They have also
commenced cnlivating the grape with much
care and attention, and their arbors this sea-
son will no doubt reward their labors. They
are indeed sparing no labor o-expense to make
the Salt Wells an elegant summer retreat,
where the visitor can revel among all the ru-
raj beauties OF nature IN her happiest mood,
take exercise in healthful games, and at ally
time become refreshed by the waters of the
well taken internally, or the waters of Pigeon
Greek in shower or dip baths. 4.l

STEAMBOAT DIsAsrER-W learn from
the Columbus Enquirer that the steamer H.
Smith, which left that place on the 24th ult.
for Apalachicola, took fire about thirty miles
below Columbus, and was entirely consumed.
She had on hoard about one thousand bales
OF cotton all or the most Of which WAS burnt
The informant ofthe Enquirer, who escaped
from the boat. was not able to state whether
any lives were lost. owing TO the fact that
some Of the crew and passengers escaped to
the east and some to the west bank of the
river, and there had been no communication
between them up to the time of his leaving.
