ST. PAuL's CHuRcH.-We learn that the
congregation of st. Paul's Church, under the
2astora, care of the Rev. Mr.. Wilbor have,
within .he last week, raised the handsome
sum of 81 800 among the occupants of the
pews in that church, to pay off al the lia-
bilities of the Society. This reno yes at once
an old and troublesome debt that has been
hanging over them for years. This relief
from an oppressive obligation will infuse q
new spirit into the feelings and views of the
Society, and we hope to see their eiifice re-
paired and made an ornament to The city
The liberality displayed by many of the sub
scribers to this iund is highly creditable tc
them as citizens, and we hope the noble pub,
lie spirit they have displayed will not bt
limited to their church, but now that the
heart has been opened, they will bestow thei
munifcence upon other worthy public insti
tutions, some of which are lingering for th'
want of liberal support. Among the mos
generous contributors, we have heard th'
name of Charles Viele, named as a subscribe
for $500; Chas. Babcock for $500; Henry c
Gwathney, $500; Peter Sharp, $500; c. Rus

Coal and Factories.

The annual consumption Of coal in
indianapolis is fonnd to be $50, 900 BUSH
els. In this city our distilleries and a
few Of our largest manufactures con-
sumo as much annually as the entire city
of Indianapolis. As proof Of the rapid
increase Of steam power IN this city we
are informed by our coal men that the
quantity of coal taken by our manufac-
tories is double what it was one year
ago; and there are new enterprises begun
and in contemplation that will more
than double the present consumption in
another year. These facts speak vol
umes for the progress of our city in man.
ufacturing and mechanical industry.
Looking at some manufac turing Stats
tics of England, we find that the cost o.
coal at Manchester and Bristol, in the
midst of the English coal field, is more
than 50 per ton. Here we have coal
of superior quality, which is delivered
at the door of the mandatory for 81 &C
per ton--less than two thirds Of the
cost of the same article on the most
favored spot in England. With food al
less than half price--with power one
third cheaper, and all the raw materials
at 20 or 80 per cent less cost, why shall
we not ere long be able to cut rival Eng
land in all the products Of the work
shop and mandatory. Can any ration
al man doubt that the period is rapidly
approaching when the Lower Ohio viii
be the seat of the grandest manulactur
ing enterprises in the world? Genera
tions fifty years hence will learn witt
astonishment how little appreciation, W,
of the present day, had Of our local re
sources.

A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT happened at Lou
isville few days ago, on the steamer John
Raine, for;bly impressing us with the danger
of carrying reviewers. A merchant named
S. B. Williams, from Danceyville, Tenn,
some forty miles back of Memphis, who had
been East for goods and was on his return
home, purchasing small bill in that city,
was in the barbershop washing himself
when pistol exploded in his pocket, the ball
striking him in the throat about an inch
above the beast bone, and lodging in the
back part of his neck, from which position
it had not been removed at the time the
steamer left. 1t appears that the pistol was
in his pocket, and muzzle up-that in rising
from a STOPPING position, the hammer had
caught against the edge of the wash trough
and had been cooked, and in STOPPING again
to wash, it had been suddenly thrown dowr
upon the cap.

FROM NEW ORLEANs.-We are indebted TO
the elegant steamer Antelope for full files of
down river papers. Business at New Or
leans was active and the weather delightful.
The trial Of Blackwood for the murder Of
Wright in August last, was in progress be-
fore the District Court. The parties were
well known and respectable young men, and
the trial excites an intense interest in the
city. Blackwood assaulted Wright without
any sufficient provocation, on the banquette,
before his boarding hoase door, and after
knocking him down twice, stabbed him with
bowie knife, severing the heart from the
apex to the base and killing him instantly.
Wright fell and expired at the feet of his
wife Just as she rushed tc the door to shield
him. 1t was an awfully bloody deed and
caused a feeling of horror at the time of its
occurrence. The public interest in the trial
throngs the Court House with anxious listen
ers. Wright was small and feeble man, in
the last stages of consumption. His assail-
ant was q strong athletic young man. An
attempt is made to prove that Wright wa:
armed. and had drawn knife before he was
stabbed. But the principal witnesses for the
State, who saw the act, declare that Wright
made no resistance.
The Legislature of Louisiana adjourned
sine die on the 18th inst. Among their last
acts, was one declaring dogs to be property
and making it a felony to steal or kill them.

Nausnnners-

The Hon. o. IL. Smith, in his reminiscen-
ces ofIndiana, makes the following COM
ments upon the character and influence of
the press in Indiana. His remark that the
character of a newspaper is an index OF the
character of the people among whom itcircu-
lates, though just, as general maxim'
will not be admitted as applicable to all
communities. There are presses supported
by the plumber from the public crib, whose
course is more offensive and execrable to the
people at home, than they are to intelligent
strangers. The tribute paid to the veteran
editors Messrs. Gregg aud Holloway, Isl but
just: ,...rf
while New York has had her eminent edi-
tors, Indiana too has had hers. 1t is said to
| be invidious to draw distinctions, where all
| have done their duty. Indiana owes much,
very much, to the press, to the enlightened
editorial corps, in the formation OF the moral
standard of society. III you will show me
the newspaper, will give You the character
of the people among whom 1T circulates. lt
is not true that but little attention Is Pald 10
what appears in the papers. NO class OF our
citizens occupy a higher position OF responsi,
bility than the editorial corps. They WELD
a powerful influence for veal or for woe. II
the press is vicious it ministers to the worst
of human vices, and fills society with every
species of flicentiousness and wckedness. A
press controlled by the unprincipled and Vi
cious, is curse TO any people; while the
press that maintains high moral standard
is ole of the most pow erful instrumentalitles
that was ever brought to bear upon society
in forming it upon the true basis of intelli,
gence, morality and religion.
Il teel under great obligations to the con-
, ductcrs of the Indiana press, for the high
moral tone they have infused into their col

that their lights have shown the most valu

THE RELIGIOUS INTEREST in this city
continues to widen and deepen, and
seems to be reaching all classes Of soci-
ETY.. The Locust street and IDgle street
Methodist congregations are holding a
series of meetings every night in the
former church, with a prayer meeting
every morning, commencing at nine
o'clock. The two Presbyterian churches
continue their services, alternating from
one church to the other,r with the prayer
meeting at eight O'Clock as heretofore
Yesterday morning the Vine street
church was nearly filled, and the serv-
ices were exceedingly solemn and i'm
pressive. A stranger from New York
addressed the audience aud gave an in
teresting account of the progress of the
awakening in Chicago. This evening,
public preaching may be expected in the
Rev. Mr.. McCarer's church on Second
street, and in the Methodist church on
Locust street.
It will be interesting to those who are
engaged in carrying on these meetings in
this city to know that the Reformation
as it is called-is still progressing on
and.our exchanges are full of accounts o
meetings held in different sections of tht
country. The conversions are almos
numberless, and there are no indications
that the interest has begun to abate il
