Laurel Hill and Rich Mountain. But when they
are confident of assistance, there is always an
outburst of their nature, in the dastardy guerria
bush-fghting, with which, century ago. 'hls
country was familiar but which, it was hoped,
had forever disappeared with the aboriginal
savages. The experiences of these later days
may well warrant the belief that more Virglnian

and oppressed as they are, they deserve the pro-

to which they still declare hearty allegiance and
which they will not forswear, should protect
them in their homes, their persons and property.
They stand in danger, daily and hourly, Of being

Itelnn from the CnnifaI.

The editor of the Madison Courier, writ
ing to his paper from indianapolis under
date OF January 10th, gives these items,
amongst others of interest.
There is talk of recognizing the militia
of the State. Indiana has militia officers,
but no organized militia. The old law will,
as 1t ought 10, be repealed, and the soldiers,
when they are formed into companies, regi-
mentS, brigades, &c, will be allowed to
chose their own officers. This much of " my
great principle of popular sovereignty"
ought to be preserved.
Gov. Lanes inaugural will be delivered
on Monday. He will advise the immediate
arming of the militia and that the State be
prepared for the worst that may come.
The Clerk of the Supreme Court has been
installed the Secretary of State will be on
the l4th, the Auditor on the 26th, and the
Treasurer Feb. 9th.
Governor Lane will be elected Z. s.
Senator next week. We deem this certain.
The universal opinion is that he is entitled
to the position, and that the election should
come off Immediately, 30 as to leave Morton
free to launch the new State administration,
which is to commence the work of reform.

Legislative Summary.

In the Senate yesterday bat little was
done. Mr.. Harrington introduced a Joint
resolution embodying the Crittenden propo-
sition as an amendment to the Constitution
and also offering several amendments TO the
fugitive slave law. The resolution is in
tended as instructions to our Senators and
Representatives in Congress. 1t was refer
red to the Committee on Federal Relations.
Mr. Conner introduced resolution of in
quiry into the action of the Commissioners
in the location OF the Northern State Prison.
The resolution requires the appointment of
a committee, and empowers them to send
for persons and papers.
Mr. March introduced a resolution of in
quiry into the expedieucy of abollshing the
office of State Printer, and afterwards in
PRODUCED bill abolishing the Office of State
Printer and providing for doing the public
printing by contract
HOUSE, Several resolutions of an unim-
portant character we're adopted. The most
important action in the morning session
was, on motion of Mr. Gresham, to inquire
into the expediency of abolishing the office
of State Printer and to let out the State
printing, stationery and binding to the
lowest bidder The affairs of the Northern
State Prison elected much discussion on a
motion to enquire into the alleged frauds
relative to its LOCATION and the contract for
the erection of the building. There was
an extensive expression of opinion that it
might be expedient for the State to lose the
amount already expended, rather than con-
tinue the Northern Prison at its present To-
cation.
A resolution of Mr.. Veatch to refer reso-
buttons and motions on the subject of the
present condition of our country to the
committee of thirteen, without debate, led
to considerable discussion, but at the con-
clusion of it, the resolution WIS adopted by
a party vote.
The afternoon session was occupied by
the opening of the session with prayer

HORRIBLE MURDER IN PUTNAM COUNTY
Last evening Route Agent Hough, of the
Eastern road, furnished us with the particu-
lars of one of the most horrible cases of
double murder and robbery it has ever
been our duty to record. A man named
Tilghman Hanna and his wife, newly
married couple living in the little village of
Groveland in Putnam county, were the vic
Tins. 1t appears that on Saturday last Mr.
Hanna went from his place to Carpenters
vile fer the purpose of receiving small
sum of money due from some person in that
place. He returned home late that same
evening having one hundred dollars in his
possession. On the Sunday night following
some human fend entered his house in the
dead hour of night and with an ak killed
Hanna and his wife while they were lying
asleep in bed-at least such is the SUPPOSE
ton as they were found by the neighbors
on Monday lying together in the bed with
their heads split open and an ak covered
with gore was found on the floor The
house was robbed and the money was
all missing. No clue to the perpetrator of
this dreadful affair had been ascertained up
to yesterdsy.-T II. Journal
