PRoGREss OF SrEAMBoATrNG IN THE
WEsT.-Thirty-eight years ago there were
but four small steamboats, running on the
Western waters. During last year, 1851,
no less than three hundred and twenty steam.
boats were constructed at Pittsburg, 112;
Wheeling 46; Cincinnati, Ill; Louisville

GA, 297 tons. The total number of passengers
carried on these steamers during the year
was 3,050,626. The marine insurance ef-
fected on hulls and cargoes amounted to
S32,Sl1 ,440. For the six months of the
present year there are SO steamboats, built

INDIANA.-We notice that some of our ex-
changes abroad speak in glowing terms of
the brightness Of SCorT's prospects in this
State. In this they are right SCOTS
prospects in this State are glowing-more
glowing than those Of any candidate who has
heretofore run; and we speak in perfect sim
cerity when we assert that we believe that
he will get a majority in this State of AT
LEAST three thousand votes. The indica-
tions of this glorious result are every day
becoming more and more apparent. We
almost daily hear of good Democrats who as
sert that they aoiU not vote for Pierce and
King; and so it is in every part of the State;
but the Whig press do not think it necessary
to herald abroad each conversion to our
glorious ticket.
Indiana in November next will come up
"all right" and We would merely say to our
friends that this result will do to bet on"

A Noble Youth.

The following anecdote was related to .
gentleman during night he spent in farm
house in Virginia some few years ago:
In December, IL, towards the close of
dreary day, woman with an infant child
were discovered half buried in the snow.
by a little Virginian seven years old The
lad was returning from school, and hearing
the means of some one in distress, threw
down his satchel of books, and repaired to
the spot whence the sound proceeded, with
firmness becoming one of ripper years
taking the snow from the benumbed
body of the mother. and using means to
awaken her to a sense of her deplorable
condition, the noble youth succeeded in
getting her upon her feet; the infant, nest
ling on its mothers breast, turned its eyes
towards their youthful preserver and smiled,
as it seemed, in gratitude for its preserva-
ton. With countsnance filed with hope
the gallant youth cheered the sufferer on,
himself bearing within his tiny arms the
infant child, while the mother leaned for
support on the shoulder of her little conduc-
tor. MY home is hard by would be ex.

for three miles did he cheer onward to a
happy haven the mother and child both of

not been for the humane feeling and perse-

A warm fire and kind attention soon re-
lieved the sufferer, who it appeared was in
search of her husband an emigrant from
New Hampshire, recent purchaser of
farm in the neighborhood OF -, near

distinguished persons, who have lived SO

HORRIBLE AFFAIR-Panoia county has
again been the scene of outrage and blood
shed. On last Saturday, about ten miles
north OF this place, rencounter took place
between the father and the son. which result
ed in the death of the former. The family
in which this unfortunate affair occurred,
are named fingers. We have not learned
the full history Of the circumstances which led
to the death of Mr.. finger, but it is sufficient
to say that the young man deliberately
shot his father dead with rifle gun. and
has since been tried before committing
court. and is now in the county jail, there to
wait his trial at the Circuit court.
This is the fifth man that has been killed
in this county within the last eight months.

The Little Girl that Loves Me.
BY JAMES MACK.


She comes, my dove of consolation!
On rapture's wings to meet me flies,
Springs to my heart with animation,
And lifts to mine her loving eyes
Oh! many have been false and heartless,
And all my good with i'll repaid!
But thou my child! my cherub, artless!
doubt thee not, nor am afraid!
God knows my lot is sad and lonely,
To every voice of love unknown
But dearest if | meet thee only,
sigh no more, ".4tone! atone!o
Though from thy lips the fond confession
may not be allowed to hear,
Thine eyes declare. in sweet expression,
There is a heart that holds me dear.
1t is but lately thou hast known me.
Yet, even now, thou lowest me well,
As all thy winning ways have shown me;
And how love thee none can tell!
When, in thy innocent caresses.
| feel such gladness, | could weep;
When wreathed my fingers in thy tresses,
Or softly o'er my cheek they sweep.
Around thee when my arm is twining
To fold thee in dear embrace;
When fond thine eyes on mine are shining
Or press my lips thy cherub face.
pray that thou, by Him above thee,
AS would bless thee, may be blestl
That He may love thee as love thee,
And take thy spirit to His breastI
And there, my darling! may meet thee,
Where free shall be my tongue and ear,
Where words of love from me shall greet thee,
And the same from thee shall hear!

Gen. Pierce in New Boston.
New BosToN, Jan. 3. 1852

New BosToN, Jan 8, 1852.
Mr. EDITOR Some weeks AGO General
Pierce sent word to certain of the friends of
MIR. Atwood, in New Boston, that he was
about to address the people of this town in
order that he night set himself right in the
case of Letitia Blaisdell. This, however.
was considered to be mere pretext, while
the real object of this mission would be to
procure the passage Of some resolutions, or
in some way get up manifesto" against
Mr. Atwood which might go forth all over
the State as the actual voice of New Boston.
A week previous to the meeting, handbils
were scattered all over the northern part CT
the county-from Litchfeld on the east to
Hillsboro' on the West-announcing that
General Franklin Pierce would address the
citizens of New Boston on Friday, the 2nd
day of January. 1t was manifestly the in
tention to have enough outsiders" present
to aiG our citizens in making the discovery.
which an acquaintance Of twenty-five years
had failed to do that John Atwood was
very base intriguing and dishonest man.
Before noon on yesterday the deputy
sheritfs, and other party fuglers in general,
began to arrive in town and the bar-room of
the tavern was thronged with those who
were evidently preparing themselves for
demonstration. Little attention, however,
was paid to the meeting by the friends of
Mr.. Atwood and but comparatively few of
them were present. OF the whole number
assembled in the meeting house, less than
one-third were citizens of New Boston. In
fact, many of our people say, that more than
three-tourths Of those present were from
other towns.
The meeting was called to order by Cap
tain B. Fletcher, who, on taking the chair,
said that as Gen. Pierce was unwell, Mr.
A. F. Aver would occupy portion of the
time, and introduced him to the audience
Mr.. Aver spoke for three-quarters of an
hour. He had evidently prepared himself
for the occasion, and considered the part he
was acting as a very important one AS his
arguments, and to considerable extent his
language, are to be found in the Patriot !"
and other Hunker papers of the past year,
it is needless to repeat them. In State
matters he was very anxious to have it un-
derstood that the Hunker party were not re-
sponsible for the corporation act of the last
Legislature, and the liability law; but for
some cause he forgot to mention that the

A BAsHFUL LovER.-The most Bashful
man we have heard of recently, was n
young gentleman from ST. Louis, who was
married in this city the other day to young
lady from an adjoining town. We are in
formed by parties who are acquainted with
the circumstances, that after the friends had
assembled and the parson had arrived, and
every preparation had been made the young
man would not be prevailed upon to come
out Of his room to perform his part Of the
ceremony. From sheer diffidence he re-
resisted all entreaties, from nine o'clock in
the morning, the hour appointed for the
wedding till late in the afternoon. At last
his friends succeeded in elevating his cour-
age to the sticking place, and he came down
and led his fair companion to the alter, thus
relieving her and her friends from an en-
barrassing situation. How this bashful
young man will manage to get through the
world his friends are curious to know
Washington telegraph., 1852-09-01

the voice of New Boston should 60 forth
from this meeting, speaking in loud and un-
mistakable tones, in favor of himself and his
party, and in opposition to Mr.. Atwood !;
and yet, in view of all these facts his friends
dared not hazard an expression of opinion
lest the citizens of New Boston should (as
they would have done) have insisted that
the Outsiders" be excluded from voting
The whole gist of the meeting therefore
failed. Notwithstanding the Hunker news
paper assertions to the contrary, New Bos-
ton is Just where she was last March-strong
in her support of John Atwood, and utterly
opposed to the dictation and intrigues of the

AT the meeting appointed at New Boston

by Gen. Franklin Pierce, to address the
citizens of that town in regard to the diff

democrats Of that section, he occupied an
hour of his time i'll defending his military
character. He explained the circumstance
of his fainting and declared that, with
the exception of single occasion, he had
led his command in the blaze of battle. -
After this he commenced speaking upon the
Fugitive slave law. He said that it diff.
fered in no important particular from
the law of 1893. A clergyman who
was present said, as the invitation had

Previous to the meeting at Baltimore Of those

of taking "n new man" and predicting, in such
event, " scandolous defeat" From that publ

pithy extract, and commends careful perusal of
it to the people. The facts are worth serious
consideration by the rejecting portion of the
Democratic party:

L" are considered out of the question, we are
then driven back on the last alternative-that is,
the selection of some ne,c man. This policy once
succeeded so we'll in the person of Mr.. Polk, that
some people seem to think it will always succeed,
without any reference to the different position
of the party. But are we now where we were
in 1874? What elected Mr. Polk? Was it the
magic of ne1G man ? or was il the Texas and
the Oregon questions? the memories of the jack
son administration the reaction of Mr.. Tyler's
disreputable reign? and, above all, the old Demo-
cratic hostility to Mr.. Clay? Take away all
these helps, and where would Mr.. Clay have
been?
"In what sort of position are we now to try
this game? Mr.. Clay has departed. He is
about to lie down beside his old rival. The pub
lie mind of the country, on all questions of public
policy, is uncommonly tranqul-far too tranquil
for good government. No agitation, domestic or
foreign, stirs the old Democratic pulses. Now
what sort of headway are We going to make with

spcuous services-without long and honorable
antecedents Some ex-member of Congress-
perhaps, of whom there are FIVE thousand in the
Union-or some exhumed, forgotten politician

to excite enthusiasm? On what feeling of our
How can you look to anything but scandalous

people to policy so humiliatng and so base as
an absolute ostracism of all its talent and expe-
rience, merely for the sake of eecting some nom

plunder? And how do you know that he will
even do this? Why may your unknown man not

HAYTI-The merchants of Boston, trading with
the island of Hayti, are again at work endeavor-
ing to get the United States government to re-
cognise the independence of that country. The
island has been independent, by its own act, for
nearly fifty years. and all the governments of
Europe have long ago recognised it as an indie
pendent State The fact however, that it is n
negro government, will forever exclude it from
any such recognition by the government of the
United States, however great may be the COM
mercial benefits which would arise from the act.
The trade with that island now only exists by
sufferance With the eighty-one different coun-
tries with which the foreign commerce OF the
United States is transacted Hayti is the eighth
in the shipping employed. The arguments urged
in the Boston petition are convincing; but the
prejudice Of color is stronger than argument, and
the petition however reasonable, will fail in ae-
complishing its object Hayti can, however
much better do without the recognition OF the
United States-she has for half a century-than
MANY of the citizens Of the United States can do
without Hayti trade.-Pha. Ledger.
