IL An cid gentleman from Baltimore who
has been missing for several weeks, is sup
posed to have been lost in the White Noun
tains early in August. He was traced to the
Glen House, and from that place up Mount
Washington, since which he has not been
heard from. About the time when he might
have been upon the mountains, voice was
heard at IL O'Clock at night, at the Crawford
House, and the sound apparently coming from
Mount Webster, some of the guides proceeded
with lanterns in searcn Of it, but upon arriv-
ing upon the mountain it was lost. 1t is sup
posed that he may have fallen over precipice
or lost his path. HIS son and a friend have
been in search of him the past week, but have
given him up as lost. He was subject to
mental alteration.

Goops IN INDIANAPoLIs.--Messrs Charles
Babcock and Osborne Reilly, returned Satur-
day evening from trip in search Of detained
goods. The number Of car loads scattered
along the Belefontaine Road and switched off
at way places is almost incredible. At 1ndi-
annapolis. the freight trains cannot get nearer
the Union Depot than seven miles,! On Fri
day night train came in consisting of forty
two cars loaded with goods for the Western
market. Our merchants in common with
those in Illinois have been seriously incon-
venenced by these unavoidable detentions.-
Mr.. Babcock succeeded in getting about nine
tons Of his goods and Mr.. Reilly only found
eight cases They report the employees of
the indianapolis roads as kind and gentleman
ly, but that the rush is SO great as to make it
impossible to forward the goods Immediately.
Heretofore, nearly all the dry goods received at
Evansville have come by the way of the river
from Pittsburg and Cincinnati.

o. Hon. Albert Pike, the poet, orator
and eminent Lawyer, formerly of Arkansas,
now of New Orleans, has recently gained a
case by the decision of the u s. Court at
Washington, by which he secures a fee of
S160,O00 1t was an Indian Land claim.
worth 100000 of which he was to receive
one half for prosecuting the suit and which
has just been decided in his favor. Mr. Pike
was formerly staunch Whig;-went to New
Orleans, joined the Know Nothings-was the
Delegate from louisiana to the first American
Convention in Philadel phia; was the ablest
debater in the assembly, and its leading spirit,
and the most brilliant light of the order, and
one Of its most devoted adherents Like many
others, when the false accusations of its enc
mics had excited the popular prejudiccs against
it and its power declined, he found reason
for leaving it; and has been afoat in the polit-
ical sea ever since. Mr.. Pike is a man of brill
isnt powers as writer and orator, with phys
que as noble and impressive as the genius it
embodies. He IS a man with heart overlooking
with generous and Kindly impulses, and with
too much of the We5sterian indifference for
money. He has commended iGr more than
twenty years with the food of L2cCtocolsm
that has inundated the State of ARKANSAS,
struggling always against its tides. When if
he had but quietly yielded to its currents, it
would have borne him into the highest honors
of the State, if not the country.

THE New SUGAR CANE.-The Chinese sugar
cane distributed by the Patent office, has been
planted in the various sections of the country,
from Massachusetts to Georgia, and through
out the West, and has succeeded in every lati-
tude, and raised fattering hopes, that every
part of the country may raise its own sugar,
as we'll as its corn. The seed was originally
from China. 1t can be cultivated any where
South Of lat, 42o. Fine specimens of the cane
grown in Missouri were exhibited at the
great ST. Louis Fair last week. Its popular
name is the Chinese Sugar Millet. It grows
eight or ten feet high, and its stalk affords
good fodder for cattle, and its seed like that of
Brown corn; four quarts of it weighing only
six pounds, will be enough to seed an acre,
planted in drills or hills like corn. One raiser
says 300 gallons of molasses may be made
from an acre of cane; the molasses has pleas
ant flavor. The New York Tribune thinks
its seeds will not ripen north of New York;
but south of that point, it will mature without
difficulty 1t would grow luxuriously in our
bottom lands on the Ohio; and it would be a
blessed thing, if we could be rendered indie
pendent of the frosts--the floods and the
Drouths of Louisiana for all our sweets of life
There would be no risk in the experiment as
the stalks will make good fodder, if the raiser
can't extract the saccharine.

OEThe following statement from the Lock
port, n. Y. Journal, exceeds human credulity
in its monstrosity. little boy, five years
old, was roasted alive by fiend of white
woman, with negro husband
The evidence elected before the coroner's
Jury shows that the victim was left with a
smaller child by its mother, when Elizabeth
Craig, who lived in another portion of the
house, took the opportunity, and entered the
apartment, and proceeded to the execution of
the deed, which, it has been shown, she had
previously threatened. With horrid impreca-
tions of damn you, damn YOU" the child was
held on the fire by its tormentor, until its
legs and bowels were burned to cinder; then
with satanic revenge, the body of the child
was reversed by the murderess, until its back
was roasted to crisp. The child fingered in
an unconscious state till Thursday morning,
when it revived sufficiently to revealthe name
OF his murderesS.
