INDIANA FREE BANKs.-The Louis
Vile Democrat makes the the following
just remarks upon the issues Of our Free
Banks
Bankers and business men ought to be
wise in money matters !; but they have gen.
orally poor way of showing it. and in
nothing more remarkably than in the treat
ment OF stock bank paper. 1t is usually re-
garded with aversion. In this city OF fogy-
ism free stock bank bill is u scare-crow.-

its notes. will pass but the note of free
bank will not be looked at.
The Indiana free banks, before they start
into business. under the new law-and they
are all under it now that are in operation

the State. and they deposit with him the
bonds of the State, or of other States, at

Gov. WRIGHT is attracting attention at the
Worlds Protestant Convention in Berlin. a
correspondent of London paper makes the
following complimentary remarks upon the
Governors speech:
''The Hon. Mr.. Wright, the newly arrived
ambassador at the court of Berlin, spoke in
the quality of an American citizen, and no,
as an ambassador. His short address, not
exceeding ten minutes, gave great satisfac
ton; tor it was an extraordinary thing to
hear an ambassador speak in this way, fol
Wright speaks like a real Christian Hoosier.
A distinguished Frenchman, who is himself
fine speaker, told me that he was delighted
with the natural. ready, and earnest manner
in which Wright spoke on the occasion"
The Governor will not be put entirely out
of sight by his honorable and lucrative ap-
pointment. But if he had remained al
home, the present course OF events here
would have given him a power and ascen-
dency in this State, that would have enabled
him to lay all his old enemies and opponents
at his feet.

The New CIRCUIT JUDGE.-We are
gratified to learn from private and relia-
BILE sources at indianapolis, that Ballard
Smith, Esq, Of Cannelton will receive
the appointment of Circuit Judge from
Gov. Willard. Mr.. Smith has higher
qualifications for the position than any
other person we have heard named for
the office and the selection will be ap-
proved by all parties. In ability and ac-
quirements Mr.. Smith is superior, in our
opinion, to any judge-except Judge
Hovey-that has been upon the bench OF
the Court in twenty years. The prompt
ness and efficiency which he displayed
as Speaker of the last House of Repre-
sentatives, are good assurances that he
will preside upon the bench with firm
ness. promptness and dignity.

OF An interesting question has arisen
how far the value Of real estate is to be
affected by the pecuniary revolution that
is in progress. The destruction Of conf
dence in stocks and commercial securi-
ties will change a vast amount of money
that has been loaned on personal obliga-
tions and invested in stocks, to the pur-
chase Of real estate and this increased
demand for real estate may prevent any
material declension in its prices. In
proved property that yields an income
will be less affected than wild lands and
unlmprOved lots, for the new investments
will be chiefly made by those who will
seek to secure a regular and safe income
from their capital. Commercial disasters
will have, too, the effect to change the
industry and pursuits of large class o.
persons. The misfortunes and Sncer.
tainties Of trade will induce thousands in
cities to seek for the peace and solid com.
forts of agricultural lie, and the hopes o
making sudden fortunes in cities and
towns, that have drawn the most active
and intelligent from rural pursuits vii
be checked, and the agricultural popula
ton will be accelerated in it's increase
while the growth of towns will be check
ed for time. And as the relative
amount OF labor is changed, the relations
of demand and supply will be altered
and the products of agriculture will fal
permanently, though land may hold it
price.

DEATH OF G.. p. CusTIs.-The Alexandria
Gazette, in announcing his decease, appropri-
ately says: "The whole country knew him,
and his patriotism will long be remembered.
Closely allied to the Washington family,
fond of calling himself the child of Mount
Vernon, he was never so much in his element
as when talking or writing of the Great
Chief and the men and times of the Revolu-
zion. As he said of himself once, his was
the destiny of no common man. tor he had
been fondied on the knee of the Father of his
Country and received from him the kindness
of parent. He repaid that care and affec-
ton with filial devotion, and, to the day of
his death, all the recollections Of his life cen
tered around, or radiated from, the time
when he was one If Washington's family

A MAGNANIMoUs AcT.-Mr. Lefcvre a SUI
gar planter on Lafouehe recently died, worth
100000. On opening his will it was found
that he had bequelthed the whole of nj, large
estate in two equal portions to his deceased
wife's nephew, and to the gentleman who
had for many years done his business in New
Orleans rs a commercial broker, but who
was IN no wise related to him. To the as
constituent of his friends this broker, on
finding that he had been made legatee to
half the old mans estate, $3.50 900 ut least, }
went before notary public and renowned
the whole legacy, making it over in favor of
the relatives of the deceased in France, con-
sisting of nephews and neices, to the number
of twenty or thirty, and all humbly situated
in life. The old man had pre-, iously made a
will in whici, his French relatives were hand
somely remembered; but on returning from
visit to them, not long ago, for some reason
known only to himself, he tore the will to pie
ccs and wrote a new one, leaving everything
to his wife's nephew and his broker, as above
stated.
He came to this country when young, q
poor halter; but prospecting in his business,
and finally marrying lady of wealth. be
went into the sugar culture, and progressed
so well that few years more might have
made him a millionaire. The broker who so
magnsnimously renowned his share of the
estate, gave as his reason for so doing that he
was already as rich as he wished to be, and
felt so independent that he did not wish it to
be in the power of any one to say that any
part of his fortune was not of his own max
ing.

Grain Shipments.

Many and grievous complaints are
made in New York, that the West does
not send forward portion of its abun-
dant Stores Of grain to pay its Eastern
debts The reason why it is kept back.
is supposed to be, the want of money to
move it; and various projects have been
conceived to provide the means to ship
it. Grain forwarding associations have
been formed to make the necessary adj
vance OF freights, and to guarantee the
proceeds Of sales but none Of them
have induced much grain to go forward I;
nor will they, until there is material
advance in prices. It is remarkable that
in the perpetual discussion of the sub
ject, no one his takes slate and figures out
the real reason why all our crops re-
main still in our barns and warehouses;
Wheat in New York is from 81 to
$122 per bnshel, and it costs so or 90
cents per bushel to send it there and
sell it. Our millers cannot purchase
wheat here for their own consumption,
and return the sacks, for less than 20 to
80 cents per bushel. Ordinary super
fine -four is quoted in New York at
$4,25 to S4,55 per barrel. 1t costs
$3.50 to $500 to send barrel of -four
and sell it there, leaving but $3.50 for
it's price here. The Eastern merchants
know but little Of the condition of West
ern farmers, if they expect them to sell
their grain at prices that will justify
shipments upon the present quotations
in New Nork.
The West is deeply in debt to the
East; but the Indebtedness is chiefly due
from the towns and not from the far
mers; or at least not from that class of
farmers that produce the surplus crops
for shipments. The larger farmers who
have been producing any great quantities
more than they consume, have been
made indepen lent by the high prices Of
their products for the last five years; the
surplus producers are neither indebted
in large amounts to the home merchants
nor to the East. They are the chief
holders Of the present crops, and they
are able to dictate their own terms and
to remain holders. The principal wheat
growers are every where out Of debt
Whenever prices at the East will justify
it, the produce will g, forward as fast as
it can be sold without any aid from East
srn money. Whenever produce can be
shipped without loss, it will move of it.
self. and pay its own way without the
Intervention of bank notes, for it is itself
basis for paper as good as gold. A
draft founded on shipment Of wheat or
flour that was sure Ito pay itself out"
with the bill Of lading annexed, consign-
ed to order, would be the very best cur
rency man could have at the West in
times like these. 1t would be worth
more than notes Of suspended banks
Practical men must smile at the idea o.
getting grain forward by providing foI
the payment of its freight, as if the
thing itself was not the best guarantee
Tor the cost Of its own transportation.

A MuRDERous AFFRAY.-Two store boat
men, who had been trading with some wood
choppers on the Mississippi river, below
Memphis, endeavored to enforce the collec-
ton of some claims for goods against one of
the choppers, by force or intimidation
They armed themselves and went into the
woods where the men were at work. The
store boatmen were named Merriwether and
Slaughter
Soon after their arrival ut the place where
the wood choppers were at work. the fight
commenced by the latter, who advanced upon
their antagonists with drawn axes. Slaugh-
ter commenced firing with his revolver. but
before single ball took effect, one of the
wood choppers Glove him down. splitting his
skull wide open. They then doubled teams
upon NJ, who fred the whole load of his
shot gun into the bowels of one of them-oi
course, fatally wounding, but not at once
disabling him. His gun having but one
barrel, and finding himself with no adequate
weapon to oppose the axes of the advancing
wood choppers, Merriwether turned to re.
| treat, but in doing so. stumbled over IA log
and fell. The wood choppers then pounced
upon him and hacked and hewed him about
the head and breast most fearfully. They
got Slaughters gun ami attempted TO nrt
the whole load in his face, but fortunately
it missed fire. The man whose bowels Mer-
riwether had shot out, jumped upon hin
while he was down. and stamped repeated,
upon his breast-the blood flowing dowr
from his wound the while, in torrents upor
his PROSTATE victim. In the meantime. Merri
wcther's dog came TO the rescue of his maste
so ssvagely. that the wood choppers wer,
forced to desist for moment; during which
diversion Merriwcther managed to crawl on
of sight. and after lying out all night in TIN
bottom, attended by his faithful dog, fnall.

on Wednesday last, he was thought to b

Friday Morn'g, Oct. l6, '57.
Mr.. CARLILE:-The unfavorable weather
of the morning caused sensible falling off
in the interest ard number in attendance
upon the Fair. Notwithstanding this OBJ
stacle, it is estimated that three thousand
persons were upon the grounds.
The herses in the ring were superior to
those OH exhibition at any previous time du-
ring the week. The celebrated Paragon
Morgan, the property of Mr.. j. NJ. Bailey, of
New Hampshire, excited universal admira-
ton for his fine action and perfect training !;
and, as usual, had no difficulty in obtaining
the first premium. At st. Louis, Louisville,
and elsewhere where be has been shown, he
has received the same award for his superior
merits as harness animal. His owner has
been offered. and refused, $4,000, his price
being $4,000. Paragon Morgan is chestnut
sorrel, fifteen and half Lands high, with a
body, temper, and all those merits combined
which make perfection.
The show of horses of all ages was surpass-
ingly fine. The Morgans, of all ages and for
all purposes shown by Elias Dorsey, of Jei-
ferson county, were very much admired, and
generally, when in the ring, received the
premiums.
At the opening of the Fair in the after
noon, a spirited competition took place for
the premium for the best buggy horse
Eleven entries were made, most of them fine
animals, and were driven by experienced and
skillful horscmen. Mr.. SMITH GAvITT, OF

Indiana Mails.

We can endorse the following state
ments from the Vincennvs Gazette, and
at the same time assure the editor there
ae more delays and neglect at the Post
Office in his own town, than at any other
in the State. The mails from ST Louis
destined for this city usually lay at Vim
cennes twenty four hours. The news
by them goes to Gin cinnati, is printed
there arid returned to US, before we get
TIE originals IL the editors will begin
the reform at home. they may then lee
ture other people.
We do not believe there is another State IN
tie Union, in which the mails are US badly
managed as in our own. Yesterday. for in
starce, we received halt weeks daily papers
from Terrc lIaute, all by one mail. We get
papers from Maine earlier and more punctual-
" than from Lafayette; from Washington
City with more regularity than from Indi-
annapolis; and from New Orleans more
promptly than from Madison. The papers
from Lafayette come IN gangs of six and Il
dozen copies at n time. The Terre Haute
Journals in piles from two to six, and those
from indianapolis stray along in the course
a month or six weeks. We appreciate them
highly on account Of their great age.

TeIegraphic Dispatches.

Owing to the effects of a severe storm
that has prevailed for two days to the
East Of Cincinnati, the lines were in very
bad order last evening, and it was with
difficulty that any reports could be OBJ
tanned. II will be seen that there is a
heavy rise in the river at Pittsburg,
which will give us good stage of water
here.

y-Hon. James Guthrie. late Secretary of
the Treasury, seems to have the inside track
in the Democratic Senatorial race in Ken
lucky. He looms up without a peer among
the Kentucky Democracy, and intelligent
men of all parties must concede that he is a
man of capacity and honesty.
