DIEEcToEs OF THE INDIANA STATE PRIsoS.-
George I. Saryitz, of Jeffersonville, John III.
Owens, of New Albany, and Grafton F. Cooker
ly, Esq, Of Terre Haute, have been appointed
by Gov. Wright Directors or Trustees of the In
diana Penitentiary, under the law of 1855, by
which the State takes charge of the prison and
convictS on the 18th of June next, at the expira-
ton of the present lease on that institution.
These Directors appoint a warden" and
"noral instructor" and regulate the system of
discipline and labor of the convicts. he war
den, with the approval ofthe Directors, appoints
the clerk and other subordinate officers. and
personally superintends the management of the
labor and charge of the discipline OF the con.
yicts.
Governor Wright is now engaged at Jeifer SON
vile, with the Directors above named, in pro-
viding for the discipline and employment OF
the convict labor of the penitcntiary The de
votion of the Hoosier Governor TO the Interests
of that State is worthy of all praise. With a
pitiful salary, during period of greatly in
creased prices and expenses; when specula'
tions were in every breeze and met at every turn
when thousands were TO be had by the crook OF
a finger, he has fought bank and all other specu-
lations, vetoed all maneuvering schemes, and Is
about TO leave the Office as he has lived IN it,
depoted 10 the interests of The people, "thO teGI
or reproach. ."-Louisuiue Democrat.
We publish with pleasure this compliment
to Gov. WRrGnT, from the Louisville Demo
crut. 1t is all true-no man was ever NOR,

The .Ruried Alive"

The GAINESVILLE papers continue to give in-
teresting items about the "four men buried
alive" none varying very materially, howev-
er. from the interesting and very full account
of our correspondent in Sunday mornings
paper. The Gazette says
1--WE learn that the wife of one of the en-
tombed men has become so deranged in con-
seaueuce of her husbands terrible situation,
that she has been taken to the Lunatic Asy-
lum at Columbus. We are not sure, however
that this is fact"
The time of their confinement, the C0u,-
ier says, was fourteen days and fourteen hours.
The length of the entrance dug out by the
rescuers was over four hundred yards, OF
nearly quarter of a mile. When the last
fall Of rock and earth on Friday occurred
the diggers outside nearly gave up all hope,
but they put up an arch and worked on.-
At length Mr.. Il. Lyons succeeded in climb
ing over the obstruction, and through his i'm
mediate assistance the men escaped. The
Courier says:
"The audience were cautioned against
crowding around the entrance of the mine
or exhibiting any undue degree of satisfac
ton upon the appearance of the men, and
the advice was strictly followed
"This is truly an extraordinary case, ant
exhibits in strong light the power of hui
man endurance. Before the men were hearj
ne other day all hopes of recovering then
alive was given up, and when it was discov
cred then that they were still alive, the re
port was generally doubted"

FRIDAY MORNING, MAY Ie, 1856.
"An Indianian Mobbea in Kau.as.,


The Indiana journal, of yesterday, has a
lamentable epistle- to its readers, giving an
account of can outrage committed Oh Mr.. A.
G. PATRICK, formerly of this State" The
Journal also publishes PATRICK's own state
lnent of the affair, in which he attempts to
excuse himself from all blame, and to create
the Impression that he was an innocent, un-
offending m artyr to the cause of freedom;
that although he abused the conduct and
actions of the Pro-Slavery men of Kansas,
they had no right to notice his insults, or to
resent his taunts and bravado denunciatons
He admits that he INDUCED very freely in
his remarks, and for day or two, almost de-
feSf them to their teeth. No wonder such
conduct provoked the people of Kansas
somewhat, nor is it strange that they gave
him a slight evidence of their displeasure in
the shape Of aogging. Probably if he had
governed his tongue, and used respectful Ian
guage, his hide would not have felt the in
dignant lash Of an insulted community
Some men can only become notorious by
silly and impertinent conduct and some are
mean enough to seek neutrality-suspicious. kick
ing-in order that they may excite public
sympathy in their behalf
But who is this Mr.. PATRICK, that has
thus suffered in flesh and in his good name,
by the "border rufians" of Kansas We
will answer. He is man of impulsive, ir-
regular temper; man of vicious and InaliS
nant prejudices; most scared and unmiti-
gated traducer of other mems character; a
man of no refinement or delicacy, without
courtesy, or good manners; fanatic in poll
tics, and almost fool in judgment. lie was
the Editor of the GreencaStle Banner which
is enough to stamp him with infamy, because
of its miserable, filthy character; and he
left Greencastle few months since on cru
sade to Kansas, under the Sharpe's-riae fever,
with view to imInortalize himself as one
of the champions of freedom. He has per-
formed his mission, and now comes back to
Indiana, to be considered a martyr in the
cause of Kansas liberty, and to receive the
sympathy of such Abolition papers as the
Indiana Journal.
He is the son of the late EBENEZER PAT
RICK, of Salem, Washington county, Indiana.
His father was for many years editor of
an anti Democratic paper, and, at last, ended
his existence by committing suicide. We
hope better fate awaits his unfortunate son.

Ia Msrse ei,la;se


The following brief history of this world
renowned national anthem will be interest
ing e
The history of this song-now heard in
France no more, now crushed down in the
hearts of the French people, and made to
give way to Partant pour Ia Syie, is not
without history. 1t was composed, both
words and music, by young royalist officer
of artillery, Rouge de Lisle by name. He
was stationed at Strasburgh at the time when
France was heaylDg with the throes of revo-
luton. lie was known throughout the coun-
try as favorite with the masses of poetry
and song The winter Of 1892 was one of
scarcity in Strasburgh, and at the table of
poor acquaintance, Deitrick, who could set
but little food before his guest, De Lisle also
found at least a generous bottle of wine. 1t
was on an evening of this gloomy season Of
want and turmoil, when Deitricll and De
Lisle were warming themselves with the old
"Falernain," that the former proposed to the
latter that he should produce zone Of those
hymns which convey to the souls of the peo-
pie the enthusiasm which suggested it'' De
Lisle repaired at midnight to his lodgings,
and there on his clavicord, now composing
the air before the words and now the words
before the air, in sort of frenzy struck off a
hymn " which" says distinguished French
writer, "seems a recovered echo of Thermo-
pylae-it was heroism sung.D Overcome at
length, and exhausted, he fell asleep, and it
was not until the next day that he wrote out
the hymn and presented it to his friend Del
trick. Phe hymn Of the country was found.
Alas it proved the requiem to poor Deitricls
He went to the scatfold to its notes within a
year. 1t flew from city to city. Atthe
opening and closing of the clubs in Mar
seilles, it was sung, and hence its name. De
Lislc himself, prescribed as a loyaIist, heard
that song when fleeing for safety from his
country, and what he had created in mo-
ment of enthusiasm, and rs an incentive to
freedom, became the death cry of the revo-
lutionists, and stirred the blood of desperate
men to the most fearful deeds of tyranny
and terror.

Anoth er wild-cat Concern Exploded

The chicago IFI6ufe says
"Rumors were rife in the streets yesterday
that Preston & Co, of this city, had departed
for parts unknown to those who had claims
against them. This is the corcern that issued
so much Planters and Mechanics Bank of
Dalton, Southern red-dog concern that has
served to rob many a laboring man of the
proceeds of days of hard toll.
"a frined at Genessee writes us that
Barnes & Co., of that place, have failed and
taken French leave. This is another con-
Germ that has forced large amount of the
aforementioned fraudulent money into cir
culation. Only one ofthe creditors of Barnes
e Co., is said to be secured, and he with the
office furniture of the concern. We wonder
if Preston & Co.'s creditors are all secured.

n Celestial Democrats. y

The Anti-Slavery party held their annual
meeting few days ago in New York, and
passed the following resolutions
RcsoIred, That all constitutional liberty has
ceased to exist in this country; that none but
'the traffickers in slaves and the souls of men
are permitted to enjoy freedom of speech and
of the Press, wherever they plant their feet;
that we are living under the sway of Border
Rufiianism,' incarnated in the person of Frank
lin Pierce-no longer the legitimate President
of the United States, but one deserving of i'm
mediate impeachment and removal for his per-
fidy and treason as the unscrupulous tool of the
slave power; and, therefore, that we are in the
midst of revolution to throw Off the chains of
a slave holding oligarchy thousand times more
intolerable to be borne than any ever imposed
upon our Revolutionary fathers by the mother
country.
Risolued, That we shall neither give nor ask
for any quarter; but our motto is, Victory or
Death
THEODORE PARKER unfolded the following
as the n,odus operandi of the party in the at
tainment of its objects
If we once put an anti-slavery man, never
so moderate, in that office (the Presidency then
see what follows
The Executive holds forty thousand Offices
in his right hand, seventy millions annual dol
lars in his left hand both will be dispensed so
as to promote the welfare and the prosperity of
the people All the great offices-executive,
judicial, diplomatic, commercial-will be con
trolled by the Progressive Force the Admins
traton will be celestial Democratic, not Satanic,
merely, and seek by natural justice to organize
tbinos and persons SO that all may have share
in labor and government Thus when freedom
has money aud Office to bestow she will become
respectable in the South, whence noble men,
slayeholders and non-slaveholders, viii come
out of their hiding places to bless their land,
which others have cursed so heavily and so
long. There are anti-slayery elements at the
Soutb-"one swallow makes no summer ="
Int one Presidential summer of freedom viii
bring many swallows out from their wintry
sleep, fabulous or real. Nay, the ignorant men
of the North will be instructed, for mean men
will be attracted by smell of dinner, and her
base men left alone in their rot to engage in
other crime, but not in kidnapping men.

0TWe have seen report in the Cincin-
natl Gazette Of the nth, stating that RopIN-
son, the mock Governor of Kansas had been
foreibly compelled to leave the Steamboat
uporrwhich he was travelling, on his route to
Washington City, by band of "river pi-
rates, and had been compelled to submit to
an arrest ly- said q pirates. 1t is also stated
that Mrs. ROBINSON, his wife, has arrived al
testimony of the Kansas Congressional Com.
mittee, as had been made ready to send for
ward, for immediate use, at Washington,
We shall wait for full hearing of the facts
before we give eredence to any such prcpos-
ferrous story. The arrest was made at Lex
ington, on the Missouri river.
ILArKk AND MoRE AUTHENTIC BY TELEGRAPH
ST. LOUIS, May i3.
Mrs Robinson arrived here yesterday, and
this morning publishes a statement of her hus-
bands detention at Lexington. 1t says Robin
son was going east on personal business. and
denies that he knew of an indictment previous
to his leaving the Territory. Otherwise it does
not differ from previous accounts. The Law
renee correspondent of the Democrat says, un-
der date Of the 7th, that indictments for high
treason have been found against Reeder, Robin
son, Roberts. Lane Dietzeler, and other promi-
nent Free State men. News had been brought
to Lawrence that secret handbills were eirculat-
ing, and forces marshaling in the border coun-
ties The people were warned to prepare for
defense.
1t is stated that ROBINSON was disguised,
wore an old slouched hat, and kept his state
room, during his stay at Lexington, until he
was arrested. This changes the complexion
of the transaction, essentially, and shows
that Robinson was arrested as fugitive from
justice, by process of law, instead of being
kidnapped by "River Pirates" as stated by
the Abolition press.
