We gather the following facts in regard TO
the German press of Indiana from the Indiana
polls State Journal. In 1859 there was but one
German republican paper in the state-the
Freie Press of Indianapolis. To-day we emu
merate the following The Voksbote, at
Evansville, was democratic, or rather, Doug
las, until after the nomination of Lincoln and
Hamlin. 1t now supports the republican ma
tional and state nominees, and will do good
service in redeeming the first congressional
district from the domination of the slaverylov
ing democracy. The Staats Zeitung at Fort
Wayne, heretofore strongly democratic, has
taken sides with the republicans. The Indi-
ana Post at Lafayette, hitherto neutral, has
deemed it the duty of patriotism 10 take de.
cided ssand in favor of republican principles,
and fings to the breeze the flag of Lincoln
and Hamlin, Lane and Morton. To this list
may be added dc Zeitung al Terre Haute,
the Freie Batter La Porte, and new pa
per soon to be estabi he'd at Richmond. In
1856 the republicans had but one German pa
per in the state, the den ocracy had six. Now
the tables are turned. Th republicans have

HE OLDEST PREACHER IN New ENG.
LAND.-ln the town of Berlin, VT, adjoining
Montpelier, writes a correspondent, Gives the
Rev. James Hobart who is probably the most
remarkable preacher in New England. He is
now about entering the ninety fifth year of his
age, and the seventieth of his ministry and
still he is vigorous and active, preaching every
Sunday when and wherever he can engage
himself. Thirty years ago his people, over
whom lie had been the settled congregational
minister since the settlement of the town, in
about the year 1890, dismissed him, supposinp
he would not hold out much longer. Since
then he has been preaching in New Hampshire
and Vermont, on yearly, monthly, and daily
engagements. He is Il great pedestrian, max
ing nothing of walking half dozen miles to
preach, and home again the same day. Two
or three winters ago, he had received invita-
uons to preach on given Sunday in three
different towns in line from home and of
course the places OF worship were many miles
apart But this did not discourage him He
set out on foot early in the morning of the ap-
pointed Sunday, walked seven miles, preached
forenoon sermon, walked five miles more on
TO the next town, preached an afternoon ser.
mon, and then walked on still five miles more,
to the third town, and preached his third SER
mon. A few weeks ago he had engaged to
preach in Montpelier. But early in the morn
ing his son came to town to tell us his father
could not preach that day, as the afternoon be-
fore he had fallen twelve feet from the top of
an apple tree, which he had mounted to re.
move some dead limbs. He however, is now
about again, and we are to have our prom
lsed sermon in a week or two"

The WORKS OF FRANCIS BAcoN.-In point
of style the prose of Bacon is the most perfect
in the English tongue; and as he was the
originator and organizer of an Incompatible
system Of philosophy it follows that his works
are among the richest treasures that genius
has bequeathed to mankind. His was a revo-
lutionary and a constructive brain, of such
power aud capacity that he overturned and
re created philosophy and so cleared the way
for free and bold thinkers, that it may be tru-
ly said he inducted the splendid successes
of all modern inquirers Tito the laws of mind
and matter. And, Notwithstanding this amaz-
ing influence which his works have so long
exered, they continue to be a fresh and seem
ingly inexhaustiblc fountain of knowledge,
and still stimulate to discovery.
From time TO time, for more than a century,
careful and costly editions of the writings Of
Francis Bacon have been published in Eng.
land, and by translation, have spread and
entered largely into the learning of the en-
lightened world. But, although he has had
able editors, no single one has yet shown
himself competent 10 follow him with ade
quate learning into all the departments
which he explored. In consequence of thi:
repeated failure, the labor has recently
been divided between Mr. James Speeding
Mr., Robert Leslie Ellis, and Mr.. Douglas
Demon Heath, scholars whose collective
capacities and attainments (so writes tht
Hon. George S. Hillard,) comprise all tha
is needed for the full elucidation and ex
position of the myriad minded Chancellor
The edition thus made superior to all others
is now passing through the London press and
Brown & Taggard, of Boston, are about to
| publish it i'll a most convenient form Each
volume will be crown octave of five hundred
pages, price 81 so per volumn and, commenc
ing in September, volume will appear month
ly, if there be no delay in England. There will
be about twenty volumes in all. This worl
can be obtained only by subscription; and those
who desire it, or any further information in re
gard to it, are requested to call on E. Mellen
Jr the agent for this city.

OHIo.-The congressional districts in Ohio
are completing their nominations for the thir
tyseventh congress with great unanimity, the
republican districts having, with scarcely an
exception, representatives fit for re-nomna
ton. John Sherman will be nominated with
out opposition. John A. Gurleys constituents
are unanimous for his return. t. c. Theaker
has been renominated by acclamation In
Tom Corwn's district it is thought that, if he
consents to be a candidate, he will be nominal
ed without the formality of convention. In
the district now represented by Vallandigham
there are variety of republican candidates,
among whom appears the name of L. d.
Campbell, who has twice lost the district to
the republicans.

"HIGLEY CoPPERs. THE rage for these
old CRANKY coined coppers increases, rather
than abates, among the munismatologists, or
old-coin fanciers. We have published the
purchase of one of the genuine coins of this
description by Mr.. Alfred S. Robinson of this
city, for the sum of $50, and its subsequent
sale by him to virtuoso in Boston, for $40.

Hour, sold for cash price, and to be paid for in
few days at tine outside. The account ran
along siX months, and as the flour was by that

"THR BARBARIsM OF SLAVERY, Y,"-Anony-
nous letters intended to frighten or annoy
those who receive them, always come from
very mean men, Honorable men who respect
themselves do not write such letters. The
fellow capable of writing them is by nature a
malignant and cowaidly sneak. But our pres
ent purpose is TO show our readers specimen
of the anonymous letters which slavery is
constantly sending to Hon. Charles Sumner.
Mr., Sumner had business which detained him
in Washington many days after the adjourn
ment of congress. The friend through whom
we get the following epistle, says Before
got this document, / said to friend that no
act of Summers life so remarkably illustrated
his courage, or rather his absolute contempt
of danger, as his staying in Washington alone,
after the adjournment" Here is the docu.
ment:-
Hon. CHARLES SUMNER-Sir: As the time
for adjournment of congress is near at hand,
l "drop you a few lines to let you know" that
you wonld do well to leave the city immedi-
ately after the adjournment.
Your presence will not be tolerated single
day after you drop the privileges of senator
We are anxious to handle you roughly for
your Infamous and slanderouS assault upon the
