INDIANAPOLIS, March 8, 1852

Tour poItiCal Correspondents " r
,rized you of the adjournment OF the Legs
ature add all particulars relating thereto
A majority of the members left the day Of
and our town has since re-
,umed its comparative quietness, and "order
,again) reigns in Warsaw" By one part of
bur population, the dispersion of the Magi
who have made our streets conspicuous for
hustle and broadcloth, the sixty days past,
must be sadly deplored. 1t must not be sup
posed that the brilliant scintillations Of wit
and genius, that were evolved in the collision
Of giant minds, battling in mighty intellectu-
al conflict, flashed only in the gross eyes OF
the sterner sex. Was not the stately Mrs.
Blank, and the blooming Mrs. This, and the
whole dashing bevy of the Misses That, and
the tall and pensive Mrs. Other, in her
widows weeds-were not all these ranged
every sunny afternoon in formidable semi
circle, facing the Speakers Chair? 1t
would have gladdened the heart of Lucy
Stone to see this goodly representation of
her sex, gathered SO regularly in the Halls of
and sitting (sometimes listening)
SO patiently, and would have given her new
assurance of the near approach of that good
time when feminines should sit in such halls
in another capacity than that of spectators!
Nor must any slanderously affirm that these,
our fairest and sweetest, thought more of the
beaux than the Bills of the Legislature, in
their diurnal assemblings in the Temple of
Justice, or were Influenced in the least de-
gree by any undue anxiety to exhibit costly
dry goods TO the admiring eyes Of the quasi
Benedicts of that august body. And il any
impertinent inquirer, stepped in the leaven
of old foggyism, should ask if there was not
danger that domestic duties might be neglect
ed by this frequent desertion of the home
circle, such an inquirer has, clearly, no poet
ry whatever in his or her composition, and s
wholly unworthy of notice.
Politics are not in my line, yet as the let
tiers Of your political correspondents may
have terminated with the session, will state
a fact that transpired among US yesterday on
the arrival of the Eastern mail. Tie powers
that be, at Washington, have taken Judge
Blackford from "the table," where he was
laid for two years, by the refusal of the
House to concur in the resolution OF the
Senate appointing him U. s. Senator, and
have made him one of the Judges of the
Court of claims, at Washington. The du.
ties of the Office, it is said, will require him to
reside in Washington; but the salary is
$4,000. and the appointment for life. This
will alleviate the pain of sundering local ties,
provided there are any i'm the case. How
ever that may be, it deserves to be set down
as a curious instance of political reverses,
abundant as such are, that man who was
beaten by 600 majority. in the canvass for
the Legislature, and tbaL too, BY second
rate lawyer, a comparative stranger in the
community, and a man young enough to be
the tenth son of his competitor--that a man
so defeated, should, in Elk short months be
appointed to one of the most lucrative and
enviable legal positions in the land! 1t
must be that judge, like prophet, "is not
without honor" &c.
You have of course seen the Sentinel
since it came into the hands of its new pro-
prietors. 1t is now what it was not for the
last two years, under the Browns readable
paper, and may lose the celebrity it had &C.
fop nirip loc, e tb
any other paper in the State.
1t is rumOred that the gentleman who has
been in charge of our public high school, is
about to transfer his residence and labors to
the "Crescent City," Well, the proverb
says, sit is an i'll wind that blows nobody
good" and though Mr.. Coles removal from
the post he has filled here, with much honor
to himself and large profit to his pupils, Gre
ates void that it may not be easy to fill sat
isfactorily, the present writer rejoices that il
is Evansville that is to reap the benefit oil
his future services, and that Mr.. Cole is to
locate in community where he may ex-
pect cordial cooperation on the part of all
interested in education, and obtrusive inter-
ference from none.
Winter seems to have howled his valedic.
tory, and left US for good, in more senses than
one. We have mild, balmy days and clear
star lit nights, while the earth is covered
with a-ah, not with profusion of flowers
quite yet, but with profundity Of mud!
Yours, A. B. G..
