PEORIA, iLL.-According to the Press Of
Feb. 25th, in Peoria not only every ware
house and store room is full of grain and
flour, but every cellar in which it is safe to
put grain, is also occupied. Several large
warehouses are now being erected for that
purpose, one of which is over 200 feet long
and so feet wide. One dealer has over two
hundred thousand bushels of grain now in
store, and three others over one hundre d
thousand bushels each. There is at present
in Peoria near one million bushels of grain
awaiting the opening of the river and canal
for Eastern market. A great portion of this
would 60 forward by railroad if it was COM
pleted; and as fast as removed, the ware.
houses would be re-flled by grain from the
country. II they had the requisite facilities
for shipping by canal and railroad, they might
calculate on a business of over two millions
of bushels in grain alone this season, with a
large increase in pork, flour and whisky.

G The water rose SO rapidly night before
last, as to cause part Of the embankment
on the Railroad, north of Patoka, to give way
slipping the track SO badly as to prevent the
passage of the cars yesterday. The passen.
gers, baggage, &C., were transferred from
the up to the down train, and vice versa, and
each train returned without being able to
cross. This place will be repaired in time for
the trains to pass through to-day. White
River embankment has been sliding little,
but no serious danger is yet entertained
The bridge stands firmly, and no fear of its
giving away.

- From the report of the physicians who
made post norton examination Of the body
of the late DIR. Gardiner, there is no doubt
but he came to his death by taking s,rych-
nine, said to be the deadliest of Java poisons.
The Washington Star says:
On the Gardiner award s42s.7so w,s
fraudulently distracted from the Treasury:
S2IS, 1000 of which has been enjoined 70 he
probably returned into the Treasury. The
deceased, DIR. George A. Gardiner, also drew
from the Treasury Sl53,0OO on the claim of
DR.. II. Mears; $4,000 of which went di.
rectly to his own endowment. Mears, who
is in Mexico, having been indicted. boldly
admits that his claim was a shameless fraud,
and unblushiugly defies the Government OF
the United States, there being no extradi-
ton convention between the two govern
ments, under which he can be demanded of
Mexico for trial under indictment in this
country.

The whig Party.

The Locofoco press, gloating in their in
iqutous triumph on the Nebraska Bill in the
Senate, are becoming loud and INSCRIPTIONS
in their .denunciations of its opposers, and
stigmatlze everything that is said or done in
opposition thereto, and in favor os maintain
ing the integrity of the nation, as abolition.
ism. This course though not at all unex-
pectei from party that uses no other argu-
ment than denunciation in support of its
measures, is at least little extraordinary,
coming as it does from a party that has just
amalgamated with abolitionism, and risen to
power upon its influence.
The Wing party, although in an apparent
minority upon the present absorbing issue, &C.
cupies high and honorable position, and one
which the scurrility of demagogues, or the
lbels of venial press cannot overthrow.
The Nebraska bill is now made the test of
Democratic virtue with the leaders of the
party, whose designs clearly self aggran-
dizement, without the slightest shadow Of
necessity for Legislation upon the subject
The "sober second thought" of the people
will return verdict, that will prove to the
projectors of this grand fraud scheme, that
the interests and destinies of this Republic
are too sacred to be made the pack-horse for
unprincipled political aspirants.
The firm adherence of the Wing party to
the Compromises to which the honor and
faith of the nation were pledged, is not only
an honorable but an enviable position. The
principles involved in this position are the
pedestals upon which our honored institutions
and their security and perpetuity rests
Those principles had secured peace and pros
perity to the country land had secured the
sanction and admiration of all parties to the
compact,s who had cheerfuly yielded as a
matter of wise policy to their provisions.
The croaking of the Locoioco press, and
the infdelity of aspiring partizan leaders. to
the sacred adjustments of oar sectional inter-
ests, cannot effect the high position of the
Wing party. 1t remains as ever upon the
true national platform, true to the country
and true to the country's pledges. True tC
the constitution and to the sacred maintain
ance of its provisions.

OF Every County Treasurer in the State
of Indiana has paid in the State Treasury the
full amount of State revenue collected fo-
1853; and, in addition to this, they have paid
in about $4,000 of delinquent revenue for
1852. The interest on the State debt has
been promptly paid, and large balance is
still IN the treasury. This shows well for
the ilberality of this State, to meet all her en-
gagements' and speaks loudly in favor Of the
efficiency and Promptness of her county Of
heers in the discharge Of their duties.

REVOLUTIONARY ANEcDoTE.-A correspon

nishes the following:
When the British were in Boston, in 1867,
my father was in BARRIERS shop waiting to
be shaved. A British officer came in and
wanted to be shaved, provided the barber
could do it without drawing blood, and saying
that il he did he would run his sword through
him. The barber was frightened and dared
not undertake the task. A little boy sitting
there spoke up and said he would do it. He
looked at the boy with establishment, but the
boy stripped off his coat and told him to take
a seat He took off the officers beard with.
out drawing blood, and was paid gnin.a for
his trouble. The officer then asked him how
he ventured to do it, as he had been to every
BARRIERS shop in town, and no one before dar.
ed to DO it. The boy replied, 81 thought
should see blood as soon as you would, and,
if | had, Iwould have cut your throat to the
neck bone in one moment" The British Off
Ger hung down his head and left, amid shouts
Ofapplause for the boy.
