The RAILROAD MEETING AT ROCKVILLE

The RAILROAD MEETING AT ROCKVILLE
The meeting Of the citizens Of Parke county
at Rockville, on the 18th, to take measures
for the completion Of the E. & c. Road to
Rockville, and its final extension to Attica,
was quite O spirited affair. Gen. Steele, who
has been the most efficient and active promo
ter o. the extension Of our road, was present,
and explained the condition OF the enterprise
lie stated the floating debt Of the E. & e.
Road would probably be absorbed by the first
of June next, which would enable that road to
lend its aid to build the extension. 1t had al
ways been the intention Of its directors TO
open the road to Rockville as soon as that
debt should be paid. A correspondence had
been had with the directors Of the Wabash
Valley Road on the subject of a connection at
Attica of the two roads, which is likely TO re-
suit favorably to such connections; and that
q conference Of the two Boards will be called
to meet at Terre Haute some time next month.
Gen. Steele stated that the Board had asSu-
RANGES from the Valley Road that, so soon as
the grade and road-bed north of Rockville to
Attica, shall be completed, that road will put
the iron on it, and put it in running order.
Speeches were made by number OF wealthy
and influential gentlemen present, who said
thore was no doubt but the small amount re-
quircd to finish the grade in Parke county,
could be raised among its citizens; and that
the amount to grade the road in Vigo county
which would require only $4,000, would be
subscribed by the citizens Of that county
The following resolutions were adopted Will
good deal Of enthusiasm:
"Resolvei That the citizens Of Parke coun
ty will subscribe and pay to the Evansville &
Charlottesville Railroad Company, stock sut
Gent to complete the bed Of said road from thC
line dividing the counties Of parke and NiGo
to Rockyille-said stock to be payable at sue.
time as may be required by said Company
after the purchase Of the iron, for said Road
has been made.
= RESOLVED, That it is, in our opinion, expedl
ent to change the line of said road North o
Rockville) to run to Attica instead OF Craw
louisville, and that if such change can be mad
with the consent Of the stockholders OF Park
county, we will pledge our best exertions t
effect the completion Of said road"
The success Of this movement depends, in
great measure, upon the zeal and activity c
Gen. Steele, in whom the public have greatcon
fidence, and he will not disappoint their OK
pectations.

or The new Constitution of Mexico de-
clares, in its second article, that all persons
born In the Republic Of the Mexican United
States are born free, and that all slaves touch
ing the Mexican territory, regain by that act
their liberty, and have a right to the protec'
ton OF the laws Ii further prohibits the
government from entering into any treaty fol
extradition Of political offenders, or for deliv-
ering up any persons held as slaves in the
country from which they flee, for any crime
alleged against them in the country from which
they have escaped. This is to prevent fugi
tive slaves from being taken from the country
under any charges of pretended crimes. This
condition will prevent slavery approaching
the Mexican confines; as it gives not only Sc
curity to the fugitive, but guarantees impuni-
ty for any crime the slave may have commit.

The FRUITS AND CRops.-A friend who has
been travelling the past week in the Wabash
Valley, on both sides Of the river informs us
that he examined the orchards on his route,
and found the buds of the peach but very
slightly injured, EXCEPT the early fruit where
the trees have o warm Southern exposure,
and wero prematurely brought forward by the
warm weather in March. The apples he
thinks are not injured. The wheat is back
ward, and the plant above the earth looks dry
and dead; but there is good stand aud the
roots appear to have good set in the ground.
His opinion is, that the prospects Of the crop
are by no means so disceuraging as represent
ed. If the weather should become seasonal

Hour nor fruit

The BRITISH NAVY is now larger and
more efficient than it has ever been. Most oil
its ships are now furnished with steam pro-
pellsrs. 1t has in employ $1,000 seamcn, and
the service has been made extremely popular
among the men, by increased pay, better "a
tons, and better treatment. More than two
thirds are enlisted for ten years, and as ar
evidence OF their attachment to the service
Sir Charles Wood, stated in the House o.
Commons, that recently when the crow of 9
ship was paid of, not single man was in
clined leave; but all chose TO remain in the
ship. This is indeed change from the peri
cd when the government was compelled tC
man its ships by the employment Of pres:
gangs, who hunted down sailors in the street:
Of sea port, as wild animals in forest, and
manacled them, and took them on board as
they do ship slaves in Africa.

FIRE NOT \ PERIL OF NAVIGATION The
Supreme Count OF the United States, have
fecently decided that fire is not one of the per-
lis oil navigation, and consequently, in case of
the destruction Of goods by fire, while in the
carriers possession, the owners of the boat,
etc, are liable for the loss. This new doctrine
of law is matter of deep. interest to steam
boat men and to shippers. In Cincinnati they
are changing the conditions of their bills of
lading. by inserting the clause "thc dangers of
navigation and IRE only excepted Ourown
shippers had better look to it.

TIE CAUSE or THE CoLD WEArHER.-A
correspondent Of the St. Louis Republican
very confidently attributes our most unsea-
sonabe weather TO the presence and rapid
approach of the comet now visible in the eve
ming sky, whose clements have been calcula-
ted by the most celebrated astronomers OF
Europe, and which it is predicted by certain
highly respectable mathemiticianS of Germa-
ny, will come in direct collision with the earth
on the 18th Of June. This opinion has been
made light Of by Pierce and other American
astronomers, but whether probable or not,
there is no queS ming the fact, that the COM
ct has entered the limits Of the solar system
and is now approaching the earth with fearful
rapidity, as may be seen BY the most casual
observer, by noticing its daily increase in size.
There can be little doubt that the extraord-
nary phenomena witnessed in the weather
during the month is attributable to this
cause"
Similar influences have been recorded in
former times during the passage OF comets
through our system. The meteorological e.
iects OF comets are evident and form an in
tercsting subject FOR observation. The comet
of this year first appeared in 1854.

The FLORIDA WAR-A correspondent OF

The FLORIDA WAR-A correspondent Of
the y. Y. Herald, at Washington, says:
Parties recently from Florida do not give
very fattering picture of the operations of
our troops in the Billy BowleS war. tits said
that there are only small number of Indians
in the country, but that these few will not be
caught for long time, if ever, under the pres
ent system. The troops shoot and eat vast
quantities of game and deer, but kill no Indi-
ans, while the expenses promise to rival those
of Mr.. Van Buren's Florida war, which was
said to have been kept up as pet tit for the
furnishing babes Of the treasury crib.
The Floridians say that if the government
will offer reward for every live Indian, with
a proportionate less sum for the scalps Of those
who may be killed, that the Crackers" OF
that region will bring them all in in sixty
days"
We believe the Government do pay large
reward of several hundred dollars for every
Indian captured alUe. The difficulty is to
catch them alive. The trophies Of Gen. Har
ney's campaign have been the capture Of one
sqdaw and her papoose, for whom the soldiers
received a reward, we are told, of $3.50 The
whole number of Indians ON the Peninsula
does not exceed 300 or 400-Some express the
opinion that they do not amount to l50 men
The total cost Of the Florida Indian warsincC

900. This enormous amount has been ex
pended 10 subdue few hundred naked sava,
ges, and the task is not yet accomplished. l
the government would give bonus Of $50
600 to every breechless fellow that roams the
