The State Centrd Committee ap-
pointed by the late State Temperance
Convention, in accordance with the an-
nexed resolutions passed at said Conven-
ton, have regularly organized by the
appointment OF L. II. Barry, Sec, and
WIN. Robson, Treasurer.
All communications relating to the
organizations contemplated in said rcso-
lutions or pertaining to the TEN perance
cause are to be directed, postpaid, to
Il. ii. Barry, Secretary State Central
Committee, indianapolis.
IL is earnestly desired that the friends
OF the cause in every nelghborhood in
every county in the State, organize i'm
mediately and send Delegates to the
4 County Convention intended TO be held
IN each County Town, on the 22d day
OF February, that said Conventions may
appoint Committee Of Vigilance in each
County, that the State Central Com.
mittee may know whom they are TO com.

II The enthusiastic feeling which pre-
vailed throughout the session ofthe Con

Other and more common modes Of EN-.

necessary to bring the navy more into

hour Of need; and to commence or com

Nevertheless, tits confidently expected
that in very few years the Union will

WASHINGTON Jan. 90.
SENATE.-Mr. Cass offered the fol-
lowing resolution. ar a II
Resolred, That the President of the
United States be requested to commu-
nicatc TO the Senate, as far as he may
deem II compatible with the public In
terest, copy of any correspondence
which may have taken place with the
Government Of the Papal States, touch
ing mission to the United States. a'
Mr.. Cass said he alluded to the mani
festations OF disrepect and outrages per-
petrated against the distinguished Wis
itor, Nj. Bedini. aud oxpre ssed his entire
condemnation of all such proceedings,
and avowed bis belief that Iiedini was
entirely innocent of the foul charges
made against him.
Mr.. Bntler expressed his surprise and
regret at the outrages which had been
perpetrated. -
Several othc Senators took the same
view of the matter.
Mr.. Weller, of California, thought Il
could scarcely be necessary TO introduce
the resolution TO elicit from Senators q
disapproval OF violence; IL could scarcely
be necessary to inform the people Of their
obligations to observe the Jaw, for the
great body of the American people knew
full well there was no safety for the
property or right but the sanctity Of the
law. What could then be the object Of
the resolution! Was il to tell the peo-
pie they might not peaceably assemble
to express their opionions aud grievan-
ces! lfso, IL would not have its effect,
for such was a right too well known 10
them. And ifthose people, charged with
outrage, did nothing but assemble pea
ceably to express their opinions, and II
this man Bedini be guilty Of only one
half Of what his own countrymen accuse
him, then the people we're right in what
they did. (Applause in the galIeries.)
Mr. Mason--l call the house TO order.
and that the chair direct that order be
preserved.
Mr.. Weller proceeded to say he knew
nothing of the guilt or innocence Of this
person, and before he could accuse those
people of having done wrong, he would
have TO examine whether Bedini was
guilty or not. He well knew that no
act could justify violence; but, IL was
useless to attempt to put down the peo-
pie in their assembling peaccably 10 ex-
p. ess their horror aud Indignation for
crime, oppression aud tyranny. The
resolution was then adopted.

The souIc Duel .

Just as we were firing to furnish our
readers with condensed account Of
the two duels that have imDaortalized
(oh hushl) the elder Soule, our Min
lister to Spain, and the junior Soule,
his gallant (?) Son, who attended his
world renowned Father and Mother,
we received the Nev albany Daily
Tribune, one of our best exchanges,
even if the Editor. Milton Gregg, did a
few weeks ago say some naughty things
about having nursed us when we were
young. Gregg does up the matter
Gregg-like as follows-a little better
than any body else has done it-wheth-
er better than we would have done
it, the world will never know, as we
will not try it now.
Well, what was the ostensible cause
of the fight? Why it is said that at a
ball given by the French Minister, the
wife of the American minister was in
suited in the hearing of her son. and
that he promptly resented it. And
how was she insulted? Why as she
was passing with her husband near
where the Duke de Alba was standing
engaged in q tete-a-tete with some of
his companions. that nobleman remark
ed, "look at Margarite de Bourgoyne."
If young SouIe, believing the remark
was intended to apply Extensively to
his mother, had slapped the Dukes
face for his impertinence, or even
knocked him down on the spot, every
American would have been ready to
exclaim, "well done Jonathan, you
have nobly yindicated the gallantry of
your conntrymen, in defending your
own mother against the insolcncc Of
an unmannered puppy" And if n
challenge and a hostile meeting had
been the necessary result, he would
have stood somewhat excused in the
eyes of all honorable and right think
ing minds. We hold that no man is
justihable in passing over deliberat c
insult TO his wife or sister, much less
TO the mother who bore him.
But what was there in the remark it.
self particularly offensive? Why one
version OF the story has it, that in her
costume she was copying the fastidious
prudery Of MARGARET Of Burgundy, in
wearing high necked dress, contrary
TO the prevailing custom of the Span
ish Court; and it was with reference tC
this affected prudery on her part thai
the point of the Dukes sarcasm was
particularly directed. But this story
is gravely contradicted by the brother
of Mrs. Soulc, who says that "his sis
ter wore robe of blue velvet, io,o !,
The neck, with flowers of lace made 0
gold thread" &c. So that the remarl
OF the Duke dc Alba could not hav,
been intended to be offensive in tn
sense spoken of. But even had Mad
anne Soule elected to appear in a NOR
; seemly and modest garb, than tina
chosen for the occasion. by other dis
I tiuguished ladies present, and thi
seeming Difference to good taste an,
refined delicacy thad been made tn
D subject of remark, it tshould have bee
0 regarded as a high compliment to he
sound scnse--and surely no accasio
for serious offence.
But another version of the story ha

curtains sweep the fioor-where silver
and gold and satin damask dazzle the
eye, and surfeit the senses with their
very richness. AS / ascended the
staircase, and passed the door Of
little room that looked as il the fairies
might inhabit it, saw a little girl
asleep, with bunch of flowers in her
hand. She was one Of those fair elm
creatures, with rosy cheeks and golden
curls, which were lying in silken ira
Gerry all around her brow and neck;
the pillow and the sheet that covered
her were edged with lace; one arm
was thrown gracefully back over her
head, and the other was clasping the
boquet, which her mother said she
had insisted on purchasing Of little
girl whom she met in the street, and
would not part with when she won't 10
sleep. as
/ could not know certainly, but I
was willing to believe that the poor
little sleeper had left ON the pallet
of straw was the very one Of whom
the flowers purchased; and could
her weary aching eyes look in here, her
heart would be ready to burst at the
contrast. All day she must roam
from street TO street, crying, ',buy my
flowers" tobcsometimes repulsed with
coldness, and sometimes stung by in
suit, and return home at night to
drunken mothers and comfortless room
and supperless bed; her little body
shivering with cold, and her little heart
chilled by neglect--with never a word
of love TO cheer, or kindness 10 en-
courage, this is all she knows Of life
for her there is no gladness here,
and no knowledge or hope Of bright
hereafter.
But this little sleeper before me
breathes the atmosphere of indulgent
kindness, and is pillowed on the bos-
om of love. All around her are light
and Joy and gladsomeness: and every
thing is lavished upon her that can
tend to the expanding Of her intellect
or the culture of her heart. fingered

Railroad Earnings.

WESTERN RAILROADS AS As INVESTMENT.
We commend the following from the
Rail Road Record TO the consideration
OF the fearful and faint-hearted who
imagine that Rail Road stock is poor
stock. The stock in such q road rs
ours will always be good. No man
should now part with dollar Of it be-
low par. When completed, the stock
win command premium in any mar
ket. We omit the table Of figures be-
low. giving the EDITORS deductions.-
We are not astonished that western
roads prove better investments than
eastern ones. Eastern capitalists be-
gin to understand this, and hence their
desire TO take western stock.
"The railroad interest has become
Of paramount Importance in the Uni
ted States. seconi to none other now
occupying the attention of capitalists
ana business men.
In one Of our former issues we spoke
OF Railroads as a means Of wealth to a
country; of their necessity rs alfording
means of transportation. by which pro-
duce Is made almost rs valuable at
home, in the hands Of the producer, as
if in the hands OF the distant merchant;
while. if the same produce had to be
transported by wagons, it would
scarcely be worth the hauling. We
will now speak of railroads as an in
yestment; especially Western roads.
From the recent census returns we
gather that the estimated value of rail-
roads then in operation was S45l ,6Ii,.
600, which amoant has since greatly
augmented. and is daily increasing by
new undertakings. This would seem
to be large amount to be invested in
single class of property. There are
those who think that we are making
too many railroads, that the country
Is running too deeply in debt on 'rail-
road account" with such opinions we
do not coincide; there may be, and
doubtless are, some roads, the routes
of which viii come into competition
with some others already established
and as yet perfectly competent t
transant all the business OF their sever
al sections; the construction of such
lines maybe premature; but the coun'
try at large will be benefited ever
then, though the stockholders may
suffer; but Of main lines, trunk line

Two young officers were travelling
in the far West, when they stopped To
take supper At small roadside tavern
kept by very rough Yankee woman.
The landlady, in a calico sun-bonnct
and bare feet. stood at the head Of the
table to pour out. She inquired other
guests "if they pr; fered long sweescn-
ing or short swcetening in their Coffee"
The first officer, supposing that ''long
swcetening" meant a large portion OF
that article, chose it accordingly
What was his dismay when he saw
their hostess dip her finger deep down
into n jar of honey that stood near
her and stir it (the finger) round
in the coffee. His companion, seeing
this, preferred "short sweetening."-
Upon this the woman picked up large
lump ofmaple sugar thatlay in a brown
paper ON The floor beside her, and BIZ
Ting of a piece, put it in his cup. Both
the gentlemen dispensed with coffee
that evening.
