Wewish it distinctly understood by alb
parties, and especially by the members Of
the Legislature, who might otherwise in
nocently elect us to the Office, that Add.
Sanders, of the Evansville Journal, is not
candidate for State Printer, although he
is abundantly prepared. with few addi-
tons, to do the work in better style and at
lower prices than it has been done lately.
The Journal is satisfied with having Ia
bored as zealously. as faithfully. and per
haps as successfully, for the success of the
Republican party during the late canvass.
as any other paper in the State-and no
begging of favors on its part in return
shall render questionable the purity Of its
motives in fighting the battles of the Peo-
pie. For over twenty years the Journal
has been earnestly opposing the wrong and
unfolding the right in politics. but never
vet has it asked or received dollars pa.
tronage from the State Legislature. And
we trust, that so long as the Journal con-
tinues in our hands, no necessity will arise,
either from meagre patronage or from an
overvalue of our own services in one elee.
tIon campaign, to beg a reward for past la
bors, or to supplicate little State pap as
security for fidelity in'the future.

20 Correspondence Of the Smyrna Times.
A Visit to the Infant Sunday School
of the III. e. Church, Smyrna,

Mr.. EDrToR viii you admit in your COL
umns very brief article relative to The Infant
Sabbath School in your town ! tt.. .....i.s
This school is held in one of the class rooms
in the M. E. church, is conducted by TWO ladies'
of efficiency, and contains over fifty children
from three 10 five years old. This infant Sab
bath school is the first that the writer ever Wis.
tied, and it. verify, has left an impression upon
my mind which will not be eradicated soon.-
The facility with which these dear children
answered a multiplicity of questions, which
were propounded to them-relative to mans
creation, fall and redempton--is truly aston
lshng, and which reflects much honor upon the
ladies' by whom they are instructed. But the
singing of the children was, indeed, sublime
had not seen and heard for myself never
could have believed that children so small could
be taught to sing so correctly.
Their sweet voices and beautiful countenan.
ces brought to my mind the words of our bless
ed Lord, suffer little children to come unto
me. and forbid them not, for of such is the king.
dom of heaven" ..s. ..rse...
In my estimation, no higher honorcan be con.
ferred upon any person, than TO be engaged il
training the infant mind in those great princi
pies of our holy religion. 1t is a work so gra
tultous that renders it truly sublime--tlie see,
sown IN these young and tender minds, will
doubtless, in due time, spring up and bear frui
to the honor and glory of God. q
This, indeed, is obeying the injunction of ou

ARREST OF ROBBERs.-On Saturday night
week the store of Mr. Hall, Milford, Del, was
broken into and robbed of about $500 worth of
dry goods. As officers Johnson and Levy of
Philadelphia, we're coming through the State,
they were informed of the robbery and solicited
to assist in arresting the robbers On Satur-
day night they saw two men, laden with bum
dies. hurrying along a road about miles from
Dover. The officers Immediately gave chase.
Mr.. Levy discharged a pistol at one of the fu-
gitives, who succeeded in outrunning his pur-
suer. Officer Johnson arrested the other man,
named Thomas German, a well.known charac-
ter from Philadelphia. He was taken to jail
at New Castle from whence he will be sent to
Dover.

THE VALUE OF A NEWSPAPER, is thus set
forth, by Judge Longstreth, and is well worth
treasuring in the mind :--Small is the sum that
is required to patronise a newspaper, and most
amply remunerated IS the patron. care not

Every parent whose son is off from him at
school, should be supplied with a paper. l
we'll remember what difference there was be-
tween those of my school-mates who had, and
those who had not success to newspapers. Other
things being equal, the first were always deci-
dedly superior to the last in debate and COM
position at least. The reason is plain; they

OF On the first eight Sundays in 1854 the
arrests in the city were nearly 900; on the
first eight Sundays in 1856 they were $685.
Last year the Sunday arrests averaged over
ahundred; this year, less thon forty-fve. Last
Last year the police were lax; this year they
are strict, and arrests are more than twice as
numerous in proportion to the amount of crime
Add to this that the new administration has
but just got fairly to work, and one can get
some idea Of what is due to closing the grog-
shops on Sunday. ...a s.,a..rt .f.. ~.
But. if shutting up the rum-holes one day in
seven has an effect upon the arrests so imme-
diate and SO marked, what might not be ex-
pected from total suppression of these foun-
tains of crime! Many of the present Sunday
arrests are directly due to liquor bought Sat
urday night, most of them to liquor bought du-
ring the week. Give US a stringent prohibitory
law, with the man we now have to enforce it
and crime will to great extent become histori-
cal, and men will look back with horror to the
days when wholesale system of poisoning was
source of revenue TO the State.-NeW York

A New Motive PowER.-We learn from
the Village Record that Samuel Gibson, resi-
ding near Cochranville, Chester county, Is has
constructed small locomotive engine, which
is moved upon a novel principle. The motive
power is compressed cold air. He has been
maturing his plans for two years, but for the
want of funds and proper facilities, has not been
able to progress as rapidly as desirable. He is
laboring man, and has carried on his mechani.
cal labors under many difficulties. He has sue
cGeded in constructing model engine. about
ten inches long, which moves upon a plank
floor, gaining velocity as it proceeds, without
any other agency than cold air. The machine
is attracting much attention, and would seem
to come as near perpetual motion, as any thing
which has been invented. A little atmospher-
ic air forced into the air chamber, puts the
piston in motion, and the machine moves of
with all the gravity of steam engine anC
continues to move forward, generating conden.
sed air. and increasing in speed and power"
