Our Prospects.

Every day brings us fresh evidences OF the
popularity of our great standard bearers, Fill
more and Donelson One by one are able allies
falling into the ranks and doing good service IN
the glorious cause. 1t is the cause OF the peo-
pie, of Americanism, or Republicanism, Of
jussics, against that of misrule ana demagogue-
ism yclept modern Democracy. The people
are awaking to their own interest. Theyhave
listened to the fair promise oftheD Democracy %
without being able to witness their ful6llment
and have borne under the misrule OF an ad-
ininistration whose leaders have been" all
things to all men" and who have not hesitated
70 sacrifice honesty or honor to secure their
chief alma share in the 'sloaves and fishes
until the whole community from North to
South and from East to West are calling loudly
for reformation in Government.
To effect this-to secure good men and true,
and thereby guarantee just and wholesome
management of the affairs of State, such as
will bring the greatest good to the greatest
number, the people the bone and sinew of the
Republic, those who pay for all, have inscribed
upon their banner the names Of Fillmore and
Donelson; and under this banner legions will
be found ready to do battle until Willard Fill
moro is again chief magistrate of the Union.
The nomination of Willard Fillmore. the
patriot, sage, and statesman, who proved him.
self by wise and just administration, has
sent a thrill of joy echoing from every noun
tain side and hill top throughout the land
Every village, hamlet, and city, resounds with
huzzas for Fillmore and Donelson. We
need adduce no stronger proof of the high po
sitiou an eminent qualifications of the people,
candidate than that even the opposition, OF
at least that portion who have q particle o
honesty left, admit the nationality of Mr.. Fill
moro.
The Kingston CTenn,) Gazetteer, strong
Democratic paper, speaks out as follows:
With reference to Fillmore as man, it j:
undoubtedly the best nomination the party
could have made. He is an independent, can
did politician. While he occupied the Presi
dental chair, lie hret0 of all Sectton0lism am
administered the government an accordance trtn
the provisions and spirit of the constitution, dealin
out equal handel justice to the North and to tn
South. He exhibited has nationality bya t0arn
ant manly support of the Compromise measures
This was his duty; and for doing it he de
serves an approving conscience, and the rewart
OF duty well DONE"
Such is the testimony of our opponents, ant
such would be tho testimony of all of them di'
they dare to speak their true sentiments, o
had the manliness to rid themselves of tn
shackles of their masters.

After so many long weeks of weary watch
ing, we are forced to the conclusion that the
Pacific is lost. There is something terrible in
the idea-a whole ships cargo of souls, gone
down-we know not how, nor whtere. At az
times ship-wreck is thing of terror, but
when such veil of uncertainty is cast around
it, then it becomes doubly fearful. How many
years from now. The human heart ,cin hope.
1t is only the sight of the cold clay, that can
make US feel that loved ones are really gone
How many conjectures have been formed about
this missing ship. All are alike uncertain,
and the more we think oft, the more fully
we are convinced that, until the sea gives up
its dead, all is known of the fate of her passen-
gers that ever viii be known. Twas only
last week that some scoundrel, circulated in
New York city the report that the Pacific was
coming up the Bay, and hearts already near
broken were doomed to disappointment. We
think with the Express, 'that the wretch base
enough to be guilty of such cruelty, would
beat his mother, if he dared-and If the Of
fence could be reached by the law; the Peni-
Tertiary for life would be his deserts'' In ad-
dition to these reports, the Spiritualists are
deluding the friends of the lost, by giving
them the particulars of the sinking. Both
equally false and disreputable. The pecunia-
~ loss to our Insurance Companies, QUE East
ern merchants; and to the Collins Steamship
Line, would be-a calamity in itself, but it
dwindies into insignifcance when we remem-
Der that with this treasure; hundreds sank to
an unknown grave. Verily-"HIs ways are

and called for quantity Of tartar emetic. Mr..
R. thought the quantity was extraordinary,
and inquired what she wanted of SO much. She
replied that she wanted it for use. He did it
up and labelled it. After she had gone, he
feared she had made mistake. and followed
her to her house, and inquired what she in
tended to do with so large aquantity, and she
replied, ''to raise her bread" He then told
her she had made mistake, and would have

who Ia to blamei

We received on Thursday night another
eastern mail, being the second only received
in about two weeks BY it we have exchanges
with dates ranging from March 18th to April
9th. When we may have another even the
government officials cannot inform us.
In yesterdays paper we published an arti
Gle from the Missouri Republican of the 9th,
giving Mr.. w. ]. Browns statement, the SUBJ
stance of which was, that the demands OF the
railroad between Terre Haute and Indianapo-
lis were so exhorbitant (S18,50o per annum,)
the Post Office Department had discontinued
the transportation of the eastern mail by this
line and that until further arrangement it, or
that part at least destined for st. Louis, would
be sent via Chicago.
This change, Mr.. Brown says, is made on
the ground of economy; arguing that if the
sum claimed by the T. H. and l. road is paid,
they will be compelled to increase the COM
pensation Of all other roads in Indiana and L.
linois.
The facts Of the case, as we learn from the
Terre Haute Express of the 9th, are simply
these The original contract with the Gov
eminent was that the T. Fl. and I. r. R. should
carry the local mail for one hundred dollars a
mile per annum. When other connections
wers made with this road, the great western
mail was also thrown upon this route, and
the amount of mail matter was increased SO
largely that they informed the Department it
was impossible for them to transport it without
additional compensation. The department
paid no attention to their statement, and made
no effort to effect an arrangement with them
The road even sent an agent to Washington
city to make some arrangement, and after
laying the matter plainly before them, to try
and secure what they deemed common jus
ticc The agent returned without being able
to effect anything, indeed could scarcely get 3
civil hearing; and under this extraordinary
treatment the company felt themselves driver
to the necessity of informing the government
that they would be forced to refuse the mai
from and after the LIST day of April.
The Government is now paying more for th'
distribution of the way mail between Terri
Haute and Indianapolis than they paid tina
company for carrying the whole Western mai
transported over the railroad between thcs
points.
| Who then is to blame for the present de
ranged state Of the mails, which every bushes
man especially, and every one, more OF less, il
this community, feels at this time Is it tn
railroad for trying time and again to effec
some arrangement whereby they might receiv
reasonable compensatioh-or, rather, is
the Department for stubbornly refusing TO lis
ten to any terms, or make any arrangement
choosing rather that the whole communit
west of Indianapolis should suffer the inconve
nience of having no mail at all. or at fafthes
one or two week, than they should yield a
inch, or spend an additional dollar for the &C
commodaLion of the public

.'on this Rock will build my Church."

''on this Rock will build my Church."
We translate from the Independence Beige,
says the N. Y. Pest, the following strange piece
ofintelligence, lately communicated to that pa
per by a correspondent, writing under date Of
Rome, Feb. Is:
"a votive church is about being erected in
the Capital Of the Austrian empire. The ar
chitect has already gone to Cologne to study
the style and proportions of the new cathedral.
The first stone will be laid by the Emperor,
and sealed with golden trowel. This stone
is the identical one upon which st. Peter knelt
when he received the blessing of Jesus Christ;
and heard the words. Upon this stotie $ill
build my church.
"This wonderful stone is to be procured in
the following manner: The Austrian guvBrn-
ment is about building at Jerusalem large
hotel for the accommodation of pilgrims
Endlieher, the architect who is entrusted with
the work, left Vienna for Jerusalem on the 18th
Of Feb Previous to his departure, hs was OF;
dered by the archduke who is we'll acquainted
with Syria in which he lately Travelled, to &c
to Cesarea. where lies the rock on which st
Peter received the Divine benediction. The
architect will detach piece of it, and send il
to Vienna for the great ceremony to which
have alluded
