o. The condition of Charles Sumner is
said to be even worse than reported by his
most intimate friends, and it is believed that
he will never resume his seat in the United
States Senate, or in any other deliberative
public body; that he is wreck in mind and
body, going down to the grave, before his
time. If the death had been instantaneous
the whole country. would have been Mortified
at the awful deed, Of the assassina ton OF an
American Senator, clothed with the privileges
and dignity of his high office-struck down by
a rufiian in the National Senate chamber, for
words spoken in a mode, he deemed right and
proper upon great national question:; and if
the assassin had not been duly punished by
the body that should have indicated it's priv
Iileges and rights, the national impulse would
have decreed him an outlaw and called upon
every man to vindicate the outraged name of
the country, by casting stone at the mur
derer. But the victim suffers more cruel
end; he fingers in the fortunes of a daily con-
seriousness of dying by degrees, feeling the eb-
lbng OF lile'S current with each setting sum-
and the waning of the r2ind into idiocy or de
lirum; long enduring torture, more poignant
than the rack or the stake, and yet the author
Of this foul, cruel attack-this bloody hearted
v:olator of the National Sanctuary still, by
the sanction of constituency who have scaled
their own lniany, and by the suHfance OF the
country, walks those Halls his ruffian hand
has desecrated, living reproach to the coun-
try, and an offence to the civilization of the
? age. So degraded and deeply sunk in infa-
? nous subserviency to party sway is the press
of the country, that on one side, not man
has been seen with the manliness Of spirit.
and moral courage to denounce this foul stigma
upon the country-this barbarous outrage on
the civilization of the age-which in an In
, dian council would have subjected the perpe-
traitor to instant death, in terms it has justly
merited. No event in the history Of the Re
+ public has marked so distinctly, the tendency
= of party spirit to demoralize and brutalize
: public sentiment.

" The Indiana State Board Of Agricul-
ture met in Indianapolis last week Over
fifty county societies were represented; our
own by Judge Law. A resolution was offer
ed by the Judge, which was carried, giving a
$40 silver cup for the best one hundred
pounds of leaf tobacco raised in Indiana, to
be decided at the next Annual Fair. The
members Of the Society we're astoaished to
know that one county in the Pocket, (War-
rick raised this year, 300 hogsheads of to-
baccO. The returns from the First District
show us at least equal, if not superior to any
portion of the State. The Chinese Millet is
exciting quite an interest. A large quantity
of seed has been distributed sent from the
Patent Office, and $50 silver cup has been
offered for the greatest quantity produced and
cultivated on half acre. We hope that cur
friend President Sharp, will put in his claims
for the SILVER next fall.

G. Since the election of Mr.. buchanan,
his friends and advisers have been busy pro-
posing prominent men for the different cabi-
net appointments. Fourteen have been men
toned for Secretary of State; ten for Score
tary Of Treasury; ten for Secretary of the In
terror: twelve for Secretary of War; nine for
Secretary of the Navy, and seventeen for Post
master and Attorney General. We should
think that the above pile of Democratic tim
Der would be sufficient from which to con-
struct cabinet.

DARING RoBBERY-We tave deferred pub
fishing until this morning, the particulars of
the robbery of MesSrs- Hollingsworth &
Hughes safe, on Wednesday night last, in
hopes that something might turn up where
by the thief or thieves might be arrested
The back door was opened with an "out-
sder," and the key of the safe taken from a
drawer, the lock Of which was broken. The
amount taken from the safe was about $500
part of which belonged to the firm, and part
to Mr. Hughes as City Collector From all
the circumstances connected with the affair,
it is believed that the theft was committed by
some one acquainted with the premises. who
had probably seen the safe key deposited in
the drawer. Every exertion will be made by
our officers to ferret out the perpetrators of
this daring burglary. AS yet no clue what
ever has been obtained. Our citizens cannot
be too wide awake. or too careful in securing
their houses and stores as there is no doubt
a regularly organized band of thieves in our
midst.

or The Washington correspondents Of the
New York press, all speak of the dissipation
of Washington. Between the oyster suppers
and cider champagne INDUCED in every right,
the members are not able to do much on the
following days. Certainly, the country is not
so unreasonable as to expect anything from its
Representatives, and it is therefore not disap-
pointed to find that winch ibbing has taken
the place of Legislation. Verify, we have fall
