Mr.. EprTos.-A fellow, afraid of signing
his own name to the communication, (over
the assumed name of BOBBY or Bobby,) pub
lshed statement in regard to me, and my
attorney, Gas I am informed) in the Daily
Journal Of Dec. 22nd, which l take the
liberty Of pronouncing false throughout, am
willing to give up all my property to pay my
debts, SO far as the comfort and happiness of
myself, my wife, and my children will, perInt it.
But the Law, and the Constitution of this
State, as well as the law of nature and OF
natures God, require. that I should not sac
riice their lives and health to the demands
of any creditor. He that will act the Shy

THE VICE PEFsrDENcY.-The very danger
GUS illness of Mr.. King, Vice President elect,
has given rise to an inquiry as to what the
effect of his death would be. The Baltimore
American copies the provisions of the Con-
stitution in relation to the subject, and adds:
twill be perceived, by an examination of
these provisions, that in case of Mr.. Kings
death before the day named for counting the
votes, the Senate would have TO select Iron
the two highest numbers on the list" of per-
sons voted for; voted for by the State cleo
tors (Wm. r. King and VIM. A. Graham)
the senate would have to declare DIR. Ora
ham Vice President of the United States
SHOULD Dir. King live until after the votes
are counted, and thereafter, then the Senate
would elect its own president pro tenn, as 1t
did on the death of Generals Harrison and
Taylor, when the Vice Presidents were
transferred to the Executive mansion, be-
cause the time would have passed when a
different action is required.

Foreign news.

The correspondent of the N. Y. Tribune,
at Constantinople, gives some highly inter-
esting news in relation to political affairs
in Europe. The European Powers are some
what embarrassed by the title of the new
Emperor. He insists upon being called Ma
poleon the Third, whilst England, Russia,
Prussia, and Austria are not willing to ack-
nowledge his dynastic professions. They
acknowledge him as Emperor, as Napoleon,
but without numeric designation. All Of
them are suspicious, and SO much the more
as it has turned out, that it was the agents of
Louis Bonaparte who spread the news about
a secret alliance of the new Emperor with
Kossuth and Mazz;ni. 1t was done in order
to frghten the Governments.
Intelligence had been received at Constan-
tinople OF hard fought battle between the
Circassians and Russians. The Turkish Go
vernmeht had received these tidings, which
speak OF the booty captured, &c. The
Circassians had taken the offensive and a
Russian army of thirty thousand had BEEN
dispersed.
In London, good deal of excitement pre-
walls in relation to recent speech made by
the Chancellor of the Exchequer, in " hich he
retracted all his former opinions and prin-
ciples by which he and his friends had risen
to power. The Protecionists have been
converted TO the doctrine o. Free Trade
and a "street-ight" came off between two
members of Parliament.
One hundred and forty petitions have
been lodged against Members of Parlia.
ment, charging them with treating, bribery
and intimidation, and the Secretary of war
Maj Beresford' has to defend himself agains,
very serious charge of having sent an
agent to Derby for regular bribery.

and the elements ola general eruption ap.

outbreak in some form will doubtless be al
early result of such a political commotion.

residing on one of the most fashionable
streets in this city, aid moving i'll the SANE

The acquaintance was kept up and an a.

Considerable damage has been done on
the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton Rail-

away. At Hamilton and at Twin Creek,
the railtoad has been inundated and at the

Great Ereshct.

A tremendous and unprecedented flood
occurred last Thursday night in the Creeks
between this city and Princeton, doing no
inconsiderable damage to mills, lumber and
fences, and also to the track of the Evans
vile g. Illinois Railroad. In the vicinity of
Warren.on, where the track crosses branch
of Pigeon, usually known us Muddy branch,
the water rose SO suddenly that it carried all
before 1t in the way Of trees, sawlogs, lunr-
Der etc, with such force against the culvert
across the creek, as carried it away witt
about ninety feet OF the road.
Some one or two other places on the re ad
near Princeton, were severely threatened by
the raging element, on which large force
was Immediately employed, which succeeded
in preventing serious damage.
The bridge across White River is reported
to have been carried away, the truth OF
which we cannot vouch for, but think it more
than probable.

Rev. mr. mccarer,s Lecture.

Rev. Mr.. McCarer delivered his third lecture
in the series to Young Men en- Sabbath
afternoon, to large an attentive audience.
A large number of our young men we were
pleased to see present among the attentive
listeners. The lecture was in our estimation
a model one, quite as much so in manner as
in its subject matter. The naked deformity
of the little besetting sins and vices of young
men were made 10 appear in more "frghtful
men" than the giddy youth, OF even the more
mature in years of the congregation had
hitherto regarded them. The antidote was
given in plain, forcible, yet in kind and
dgnified manner, and was as kindly received
by the class whose disease it was intended to
reach. A repetition of that kind of practical
common-sense sermons by Mr.. McCarer
would be attended with good results.

AN Erect PosIrIoN.--A writer on
health very justly condemns the habit Of
lounging, which a large number of persons
indulge, as injurious to health. He says =
"An erect position is OF vastly more import
ahce to health than is generally imagined.
Crooked bodily positi maintained for any
length of time, are always injurious, whether
in the sitting. standing, or lying posture,
whether sleeping or waking. To sit with the
body leaning on the stomach or TO one side,
with the heels elevated to level with the
head, is not only in bad taste, but exceeding
ly detrimental to health. 1t cramps the sto-
mach, presses the vital organs, interrupts
the free motions of the chest, and eneebles
the functions of the abdominal and thortctc
organs. and in fact, unbalances the whole
muscular system. Many children b come
slightly hunpbacked or severely roundshoui-
dered, by sleeping with the head raised on a
high pillow. When any person finds it
easier to sit or stand, or walk or sleep in a
crooked post OH than straight one, such a
person may be sure his muscular system is
deranget end the more careful he is to pre-
serve straight or upright position. and get
back to nature again the better.
