Ea-Indiana bids fair to have no senat,

Hs-Indiana bids fair to have no Senators
whatever in Congress during the next year.
II will be remembered that there is already
one vacancy in the Senate from indiana, in
consequence ofthe expiration of Petit's term
Two years ago the Democrats of Indiana had
one House of the Legislature, ana the OPP
position the other; but upon joint ballot the
latter would have had a clear majority, and
could have elected their man for Senator. -.
Under these circumstances the Democrats
refused to go into joint ballot at oil, and SO
the vacancy has remained untitled; and as
Brighrs term expires on the 4th Of March,
there are two Senai ors 10 be elected. Now
the Democrats have clear majority on JOINT
ballot; but the Republicans, who control the
Senate, will probably play them back their
own game, AMI refuse to go into an election.

Is THE Sun INHABITED?-Sir David
Brewster states that SO strong has been the
belief that the sun cannot be an inhabtaLlA
world, that scientific gentleman was pro-
nounced by his medical attendant insane,
because he had sent paper 10 The Royal
Society, in which he maintained that the
light of the sun proceeded from dense and
universal aura, which may afford ample light
10 the inhabitants beneath, and be at such q
distance aloft as not TO be among them; that
there may be water and dry land there, hills
and dales, rain and fair weather, and that as
the light and the seasons must be eternal
the sun may easily be conceived to be by
far the most blisful habitation of the whole
system. In less than ten years after thi:
apparently extravagant notion was consid
cred as proof Of his insanity it was main
tanned by Sir William Herschell as ration
al and probable opinion, which might be de
ducible from his own observations on the
structure of the sun.

Perils in the Ice.

The ferry flat that plies between this
place and the Saline shore, having on board
one lady, six gentlemen, carriage and three
horses, attempted to cross on Tuesday morn
ing, and had made about two-thrds of the
distance, when the ice closed in around her.
The river commenced gorging, and for six
or eight hours the boat and passengers were
thus exposed gradually going down, as the
ice settled, No one,it was thought, could
get to them, and hundreds Of persons stood
on the bank, anxiously looking but unable
to render any assistance. Finally, Mr.
CHARLES Blunt, Pilot, Mr.. JAS. CHAM
BERs, Waterman, and another gentleman
belonging 10 the VIM Campbell, (whost
name we did not learn, launched small
skiff, took coil Of rope, and boldly set on
to the rescue of the boat and passengers
which was mile below town, by this time
They crowded their little boat through an
over the ice at great risk of their lives, an
and after couple Of hours incessant labor
and great peril, reached the boat, and passe
the line they took with them to the shore
got the lady safely out, and finally all hands
as well as the boat. Such noble acts ar
worthy of all honor. Neither of the gentle
men knew soul on board the boat-had n
interest in their rescue, save that Of human
ity, and performed the deed against the &C
vice and counsel Of their immediate friends
May they never want friends.

MARRIAGE AMONG THE ALBANIANs.-
Each country has its particular marriage
formula, but that of The Albanians, war
like race, dwelling upon the shores of the
Adriatic, is very peculiar. The husband
always purchases the bride With traSseaN,
n wedding dress, gold embroidered iez,
and a sum not exceeding one hundred pias-
tres. The brides mother, on the occasion
of the marriage ceremony, receives the
bridegroom at her door, holding a vase of
pure water. With nosegay dipped into
this, she sprinkles the bride and groom. -
The bride is carried off as if by force, and
on leaving home bends thrice TO The right
and left, TO indicate that in parting with her
relations she has not severed the bonds OF
affection which have hitherto Joined them
When the party have arrived at the house
Of the bridegroom, his mother filings over
them handful of rice, 10 indicate wealth
and abundance for the future. A hoop is
held over their heads at the doorway, be-
meath which they enter, in stopping pos
ture, holding each other by the hand. The
hoop is then broken above them, to show
that they can only be parted by death. A
piece of bread, covered with honey, is ther
handed TO them, Of which they partake al
ternately, the bride scarcely tasting the food
showing how little joy she derives from
anything but him, while he, on the contrary
as her superior, eats without reserve.

The Mails.

The mails are terribly behind, and seem
TO be getting more so. When we went
TO press yesterday, we should have had St.
Louis papers of Tuesday, but our latest
dates were last friday The schedule time
from Jefferson City to this place, is twen-
ty-four hours, but it takes four days to make
the trip-or rather four days is taken.-
We are pretty good naiured, and 10th to
grumble, but good nature can be worn out
We hope the contractors will look into the
matter, and see where the fault lies, as we
are satisfied the people of this section are
greatly imposed on-and also that they will
not stand it much longer.

Horace GREELEY.-This gentleman lee
tured on Thursday evening last, at Will
mington, Del, upon "ReGorm and Reform
ers." The Delaware Republican says:
HE observed that he did not look upon
the word in the same light that he did some
twenty years ago. His confidence in the
advance of reform, or any rapid progress TO-
ward perfectibility, had been greatly shaken
From his remarks we infer he has no long
err any faith in the doctrines of Fourierism
Socialism or Communism, as he observed
that although it might be shown that per.
sons could live cheaper by association, il
was idle TO recommend that mode of living
as the people were averse to it. He has
benome more utilitarian or practical in hi
ideas, and did not seem disposed to dwell
on any scheme for the amelioration of evil
that could not he adapted to the views o
necessities of the people at this time"

The Sugar Question in the Senate.

Says the New York Evening Post;-"Mr.
Houston, IL seems, has brought forward iii
the Senate, proposition respecting the tax
on sugar. The Committees oh Finance, on
his motion, were Instructed to inqtiire into
the expediency of suspending for two years,
the heavy duty with which the commodity
is burdened.
The motion comes from the right quarter
from the representative of a State in which
the forced culture of the sugar-cane has
made beginning. If we cannot have re-
peal Of the sugar-tax, we shall be very glad
to have temporary relief form it. If 1t
should be suspended for two years, the
probability is that the nation would never
allow ii 10 be re-imposed. We commend
Mr.. Houston for the courage and public
spirit which prompted this step. The Com
mittee on Finance should have no difficulty
in bringing in favorable report. The gov
eminent does not need the money 10 be de-
rived from the sugar-tax, since there is Toe
much money in the treasury already, and
the consumers would be very glad to keep
it in their own pockets.
If we cannot get the sugar-tax either re-
pealed or suspended, on account of the sup
} posed interests of Of the sugar planters, W.
hope some member of Congress will pro
pose TO buy them off. 1t were better TO giv'
. them good round sum at once, and lei then
go to planting cotton and maize, and rearin,
flocks and herds. Last year the value o
all the sugar imported into the country wa
nearly fifteen millions of dollars; this yea
it will greatly exceed that sum. Thirty pc
cent; on iinteen millions gives $4,500,000
which was the amount of the sugar-tax lev
led last year.
According to the last census, the Who'll
: number Of sugar planters in the United State
is 264l. The bad crops of the last few year,
and the want Of canes suitable for planting
have considerably reduced this number, tn
owners of many of the estates having not
substituted the cultivation Of cotton; we sur
pose therefore, there cannot be more than tw
thousand sugar planters at the present tint
1t would be better TO give them at once,
sum equal to the product Of the sugar ia
!. for three or four years, than to go on fro
i year to year paying heavy tax for whc
+, the country has no occasion, and the pre-
ence Of which in the treasury corrupts OF
legislation. Distribute few millions of do
u lars to them as an inddcerhent to apply then
). selves to other pursuits, and they wou
u readily and gladly run the pillow through II
rows of their meagre acres OF sugar cane.-
:, Both they and the country would be Il
- gamers by such bargain"

The Wealth of the Nation.

Mr.. De Bow, in his compendium Of the
Census, gives the value Of the agricultural
productions of the United States, in 1850,
as 81 800, 69l 1926, and states that in 1854
it had increased TO 81 500, 100000. The
total tonnage Of the United States in 1855
was 5,2l2,O00; of which 2,535,l36 tons
consisted of seagoihg vessels. The internal
commerce Of the country, in 1852, is thus
stated by Andrews:
Coasting trade $3,3l9,439,372
Canal commerce 1,l99,000, 600
Railway commerce 1851 800, 200
The products of manufactures and me.
chanics, for 1856, it is estimated by com.
petent authorities, will approach the value
at 81 500, 100000; and the products of the
seas, including fisheries, frieghts, transpor.
tation, etc., 81 ,2OO.Ooo,OOO. In addition tt
the immense capital invested in commerce
and manufactures in the United States
there is either improved or under cultivation
not less than liz, O32, 614 acres of land

$500, 100000 have been invested in rail

The industrial and commercial activity
of which these figures are the measure, has
had no parallel in history. With such re
sources as the basis of future operations
what may not the nation accomplish in tn

of its wealth at the end of that period will
be SO vast as to defy the mind to grasp it b.
