New BANKs.-We see by the following
note from the Treasurer of State, that tho
citizens Of Parke County, have established
new Bank called "The Parke County Bank"
OFFICE OF TREASURER OF STATE,I
Indianapolis, Nov. l, '55.
The Parke County Bank has complied with
the conditions of the amended free Bank
Law Of the State. Her securities deposited
in this Office, are nearly all Indiana 0 per
cents, taken at S3t5 cents to the Dollar, upon
which she receives 800 of Bank Bills for
every $40 so deposited. This makes her
circulation equal to gold under any contin-
gency. The stockholders are wealthy, and
all citizens of the county in which the
Bank is located. There can be no Bank IN
the Union more safe or more entitled to the
confidence of the community.
w. NOFSINGER,
Treasurer Of State.

me distinguished Senator has been in bad
hRth for the last two weeks, the result Of
eH1psre and fatigue in filling his appoint
ilcnts to speak in Southern, Middle and

On Saturday last, he male most eloquent
speeeh OF more than three hours in length,
Co one Of the LARGEST audiences ever assem-
bled2n Edgar Co., Illinois. During all that
time although scarcely ablc to stand, from
exhaustion, he held the audience in breath
less<nspense, by his clear, concise aud logi-
cal ekposltion of all the great political issues
OF pie day. No man in that State ever had
iafs~ audiences. wherever appointments had
beeJnade, and no man, in any State or on
any question, has had a triumph SO success
IL carrying conxieiien to the minds ofthe
masses, not only OF the correctness, but Of
the Justice of the Constitutional axiom, to
give to the territories the unrestricted right to
choose for themselves their own form of
government
He had already, by the mere force of his
iron will, continued in the discharge of his
duty longer than prudence dictated, and
coming to this city Saturday night, he found
he could no longer sustain himself against
disease, and placed himself, exhausted, i'm
under medical treatment, and has
been very i'll until to-day. i
He is now much better, and in few days,
/ have no doubt, will be entirely restored to
health. Until such is the case, however, he |
will remain in Terre Haute.

represented, yet the delegates evidently
looked into the future with many forebod-
ings.
We clip the two following resolutions,
which go TO show that the Straight Ont
wings Of the Empire State are not TO be
abolitionized-
Resolred, That to establish Northern
party on geographical landmarks where,
voters, before they vote, must study the map
rather than the constitution, is to make ne
cessary and TO Justify the establishment of a
Southern party also, to exclude all from the
North. And that all such parties are not
only in violation of the solemn warnings Of
Washington's Farewell address, but revolu-
tionary in spirit and in results, if not in in-
tention; utterly subvcrsive of all unity Of
action among the people of our thirty-one
independent states. We know of no exist
ing circumstances to Justify sacrifice of the
neace and harmony of the 100000 Of
tybite Americans to the imaginary benefit of
the three and half millions of Africans

0SF The interest the native citizens of the
United States take in the war between the
Allies and Russia is so unmistakably on the
side of the latter power as to be annoying to
many, ifnot the greater part of the adopted
citizens and aliens. That Americans should
prefer the success of Russia to that of Eng
land aud France is unaccountable to the two
classes of people in the United States we
have mentioned. There is an interest, which
the United States and the world have in
common with Russia. That common interest
is the liberty of worship to all classes of
Christians in Turkey, Constantinople to be a
free port, the Bosphorus common avenue,
and the Euxine the bazaar Of the comme ce

0trThc Miami County Sentinel, while it
urges no particular objection to the sth of
January, as the day for State Convention,
suggests the possibility of its being better to
postpone the time until subsequent to the
National Convention. The necessity Of ap-
pointing, or prOViding for the appointment of
our National Delegates, is the objection to
this. We cannot easily avoid holding the
Convention previous to MAY next.

Elitors Of Sentinel Please permit me to
enquire whether it Is understood chat the
Democratic State Central Committee are to
apportion and designate the delegates who
are to attend the National Convention which
assemblies in May next? That is to say, are
they (the members of the Committee,) to de-
eide what number of delegates each county
shall have, and on what day they shall be
selected by the Democracy If you have
anything definite at hand in this matter, an
item from you on the subject would be of in
terest to part of your readers.
Ono Co. CoRREsPoNDET.
In answer to the above, we will state that
the last National Convention apportioned the
Delegates for the one which should follow
that the apportionment gives tho Delegates
to each Congressional District, and four to
the State at large.
The duty Of appointing the four Dele
gates for the State at large will devolve upon
the next State Convention. Congressional
Delegates may be appointed either by the
Delegates from each Congressional District,
assembled at the State Convention, or by a
Convention of the Districts respectively,
held within their own borders. Upon the
next State Convention will devolvc the duty
of deciding whether the Congressional Dele
gates shall, during its session, be appointed
by the Delegates assembled from the coun-
ties composing the respective Districts, or
whether the appointment of Congressional
Delegates shall be left to Congressional Con-
yentions at home.
Many arguments could be urged in favor
of both plans. We might do injustice to
others who believe their opinions to be worth
more than we do ours, if we expressed our
preference between the two plans suggested.
We will say, however, that custOm has given
sanction to the former plan-that of ap-
pointing onr National Delegates at the State
Convention, which, probably, is the best that

POSITION OF THE ARMY-FUTURE PLANS.
The position of the armies, with the ex-
ception of the movement OF the troops to-
wards Badar, OF which you will hear accounts
from another hand, remains unchanged in its
larger features. Even Pelissier seems In
clined to rest upon his baton for the time
His gaze is fixed, no doubt, upon the Mack
enzie plateau, but his courage fails him, nor
does he care to repeat his little proverb,
which was in his mouth when slaughter and
bloodshed were spoken of in his presence,
with reference to our grand assaults--"Ou ne
pent pas faire des omelettes sans caSser des
oeufs." The Marshal appears to have given
mn the manufacture of omelettes for the pres
ent; he has plenty of eggs if he likes to
break them.
RUSSIAN FIRE FROM THE NORTH FORTS.
The fire into the town is occasionally very
heavy. anil it is returned with spirit by the
French mortars, and by few guns in posi-
ton. The roads advance slowly, butare SOL
idly and we'll made as far as they 60, and the
railway is assuming an appearance OF solidity
and permanence which gives satisfactory as
surance of its efficiency for the winter.
MAKING ROADS.
The British army is busiy engaged road
making, hut-building and drilling. Large
parties 90 down every day to Sebastopol and
return with timber, doors, windows, frames,
ioists. slabs of marble ad stone-work, CRATES,
grass. locks, iron, Stourbridge fire bricks, of
which large quantity was found, and various
other articles of nSe in camp, and the hutS
which are on every side, are models Of IN
genuity in adapting Russian property TO Brit
ish and French uses. As yet, however, the
f. vast majority of the soldiers are under can
yass, and are likely to be so for couple OF
months longer The trenches-those monu-
meuts of patient suffering, of endurance, o'
courage-will soon be no more. The guns
are withdrawn; indeed, they are now nearly

melancholy amid all these sounds of rejoic-

Tn addition to the liberal offer Of Gen
MILES of Erie county, it will be seen by
the following article that Gen. IRWIN Of
Center county has made an equally gcucr
Gus offer towards an endowment of a High
School for Farmers. Harrisburg also is
intending to compete for the prize. The
query has also been made, Can not Union
and Northumberland counties enter into

our region the most ccntral in the State
A school devoted to Agriculture, in the
immediate neighborhood of well !l-endowed
Literary and Scientific Institution, would
be most economical, and confer and receive
many advantages. There are many fine
Farms near our University, on each side
Of the River, well adapted for an Expert
mental or Model Farm. The large Farm
of Col Moore, in Butflloe Valley, was in
market, and VIC presume still is. Shall
not this, or some other suitable place, be
offered by our citizens to the State Society
as the site for an Agricultural College ?
Let there be thought and discussion upon
the subject, which may soon be taken up
by the Society for decision.

Agricultural Meeting.

The regular quarterly meeting Of the
Centre County Agricultural Society, was
held at the Court House sn Tuesday even
Eng of last week. Mr. H. n. M'Alistcr
offered a resolution, approving of the con-
templated Agricultural High School Or
College, for the education of young men
intended for farmers He accompanied
his resolution by some very appropriate
and well timed remarks. He was followed
by Bond Valentine, and Judge Burnside,
when the resolution was adopted, unsni-
tnously.
At this stage Of the proceedings, Gen.
James Irwin inquired whether it was con-
sidercd desirable by this suciety to have
the Farm School located within the boun.
daries of Centre county? Having receiv-
ed an affirmative reply, he stated that he
had been giving the subject some conaidc-
ration, and was prepared to offer the State
Agricultural Society, at its next stated
meeting, two hundred or two hundred and
fifty acres Of land near Centre Furnace, or
on Buffalo Run, whichever may be thonght
the most desirable location, provided they
establish the School upon it. The an
nouncement elected unmi.takeablc cri-
dence of approval The lands from which
Gen. Irwin offers the selection, are among
the best farm lands of this county, and we
believe they are not excelled, for wheat
growing, by any in the State. They are
watered by running streams, and are in
healthful locations, surrounded by intelli-
gent aud virtuous populations. No better
location, in our opinion, could be found for
the purpose. We believe that in addition
to the land, the farmers of the county
would subscribe literally toward the cree
tion Of buildings.

the Patent Office at Washington, were dis
trlbuted among the members of the Socie-
