Seeing the Elephaut in New York,

The police reporter Of the New York
Tribune relates the sightseeing adventures
Of one JosEPH GREEN, who was brought
up for having been inebriated and asleep in
the highway. GREEN had been having an

which he had been to the circus, and after

By the kind permission Of the Judge he
was allowed to tell his story in his own way.
which he did in avery dsjointed style, and
with a great deal of earnestness and volu-
bility, somewhat after the fashion of the
well-kown Alfred Jingle:

West Point Gradual es.

The President has recently appointed to
Brevet Second Lieutenantcies the recently
graduating class from West Point, two in the
corps of Engineers, four III the Dragons, four
in the Cavalry, two in the Mounted Riflcmen.
eight in the Artillery, and fourteen in the
Infantry-thirty-fo in all.
The course of education at West Point, it
is generally conceded, combines all the ex-
cellencies which can be desired in an estab.
lishment for the development of the intellec-
tual and physical powers. Military discipline
is the only sort to which the insubordinate
spirit of American youth submits with cheer
iulness; and it would be great improvement
if every literary institution in the land had
connected with it a system of military train
ing. Several of the Southern States have
established schools on the model of West
Point and they have been remarkably sue
cessful in turning out young men habituated
to labor, economy, discipline and severe mental
and physical cultivation. Why does not In
diana follow this good example? We ought
to have young men scattered throughout the
country already conversant with military
science and who would both encourage an
instruct volunteer companies. "The Army
and Navy forever"

A Fair Question.

The Journal ina long editorial yesterday,
draws Mr.. GRECO over burning Goals not much
to that gentieman's satisfaction. The position
of the journal is very plaialy intimated ON the
slavery question. mo more slave territory
Is The doctrine Of our neighbors and as they say
Of the resolutions of the 18th. Their interpre-
tation i. no dotbt, the correct one. But we
swish ,o'ask Question fairly and legitimately
involved in the issues Of the day. If the
next Congress or any subsequent Congress
should repeal the Nebraska bill and restore
the Missouri Compromise line, what in the
Journals opinion, would be the effect of such
restoration on the territory south of that line?
Would it be left to the bona-fide inhabitants
TO determine for themselves whether they
would have slavery or not?
In order that we may show that we have
no cOncealments of our political faith we
viii make adistinct statement of our creed.-
We condemn, reject, repudiate and anatha-
mstize every doctrine, which, directly OF in
directly, authorizes Congress to interfere with
the subject of slavery in any of the terrific
ries. and all Conventions and Governors that eUey
proclaimed different doctrine lOidely deviatal

Among the items of news brought by the
Atlantic we find that the Princess NATHALIE,
daughter of the Prince GREGORY GHIKA, has
been exiled to nunucry for five years in
consequence of her coquetry which caused
the recent fatal duel in which the Austrian
Count SToLBERT killed Count BULcHE, SON.
in-law of the Prince of Moldavia. The
Princess is 20 years Of age.
So our fair coquettes had better take care

Perverting the Pulpit

We see by our exchanges, that the Rev,
WIN. DAILY, an old-line Methodist Minister,
of this State, has been making some very Bit
ter and rabid political speeches in Louisville.
What do you think of that, oli-iners in
Parke? Is it wrong? Ought. Mr.. Daily's
feed to be stopped? If it is wrong for an
Anti Nebraska Minister to dabble in politics
what will you do in case like this? But
probably his being of the true faith lessons his
heniousnessi in the sight of Democracy.-Rock-
ville Republican.
The editor of the Republican has doubtless
read an article in the Sentinel, ON political
Preachers" in which it was positively stated
that Dr. DAILY had not been making political
speeches, either in Louisville or elsewhere
The DAILY in question is Know Nothing
residing at Jacksonville. If the Republican
editor is disposed to deal fairly with his polit-
ical opponents he viii make the necessary
correction in this matter

Minister Circular.

A circular signed by Rev. Drs Lyman
Beccher Charles Lowell, Leonard Bacon
Baron Stowe, Horace Bushnell, Rev. Hosea
Ballou, Rev. Theodore Parker, and other
clergymen of all denominations, has been ad-
dressed to the clergymen of the Free States
inviting prompt cooperation in the scheme
for making every clergyman stockholder OF
the Emigrant Aid Exchange.
In business life it is a settled principle. that
a man, to succeed, must confine his attention
to his legitimate line of trade. A merchant
cannot be lawyer, doctor, and farmer
all at the same time. A man who would at
tempt to fill these several positions would moi
command the confidence of the public, and
he would necessarily fail in all his undertak-
ings What a man undertakes to do, he
should do it well ; and if thing is not worth
DOING veH 10 should not be undertaken al
all. Life is brief There is much to be done
Every man has calling, and the first and
most important duty of an individual is tc
ascertain what particular line of duty he is
best fitted for. To become perfect or efficient
in any branch of business, requires the uni
ted thoughts and energies of the most favor
ed, both in point of physical and intellectual
strength.
70 the Minister of the Gospel this princi-
pie applies with peculiar force. A man who
undertakes the duties of the sacred office is
expected to follow in the footsteps of his
Master; his line of duty does not run into the
political field, or the business arena He is
expected to act as a watchman set upon a
tower, to guard certain interests. His charac-
ter must be unSpotted and his manner digni-
fed. Ho must be reserved in a certain de-
gree, yet free to converse with the public,
with whom he may have intercourse. AL
ways seeking in the sincerity of his heart to
advance one great object, he must be careful
to guard against all action looking at self-cx-
altation. This we have been taught to look
upon as the portraiture of true Minister
There are few men in the world who could
follow preacher from position in the polit-
ical or business world to the pulpit, without
entertaining feelings of distrust; and it is We
ry clear that so soon rs Minister descends
to the level of politicians, he loses all his i'll
fluence in the Ministerial field. Is not this
the case with the gentlemen whose names
appear in the above extract, as well as with
a host of others not there named, but who arc
very well known throughout the country p
There Is connection between politics and

FREE BANKERS MEET1Ne-Tbo mec,

FREE BANKERS MEETING.-The meeting
of the Free Bankers, to place on par basis
at Cincinnati, the issues of the Indiana Stock
secured Banks, was a "grand izzle." The
Cincinnati Brokers were here expecting, no
doubt, to see our Bankers take off their hats
to them, and say, "here gentlemen, we'll al
low you two or three per cent. tyou'll only
receive our notes at par, and then return them
to us Immediately for redemption" But this
expectation of the Brokers was not realized.
Our Free Bankers arc little too sharp for
that. The fact is, the less they have do with
Cincinnati and Cincinnati Brokers, the better
it will be for them. Nearly all our finan-
cial difficulties in Indiana last fall and win
tee were traceable to the Cincinnati brokerage
establishments; and they only now, VIC think,
seek to place our Bankers ina position where
they can again bleed them. We have no
more currency in Indiana than we need. and
if we send our own paper out of the State for
circulation, its place must be supplied
by the thousand and one rotten shinplas-
ter mills of the East, which are already
flooding the West with their trash, to
be used by spectators in buying the pro-
duce which will be offered in Western mar
kots. Our Free Banks arc good enough without
the endorsement Of Cincinnati Brokers and
if Cincinnati merchants, who have the power
in their own hands, do not see proper to keep
their issues at par in their city, but attempt to
speculate off the business men of Indiana
