A number of mechanics, who are about

whether he will run trains land when tue
promised arrangement will eommencel to

usual time of commencing work (seven

A number of our acquaintance have
already bought lots, and commenced build

the road, and hundreds more will follow, SO
soon as the promised arrangement to accom-
modate the mechanics and such business
men as require to be in the city at an early
hour, shall have been made.
A great many mechanics would live in the
country (where their wives and little ones
could breathe the fresh country air, and have
pleasant little home of their own, which
luxury is denied them in the city, where
they are obliged to be so closely packed to

the city so as to make full time at their
work shops.
We have no doubt that the arrangement
will pay the road, and we are certain it will
benefit hundreds of mechanics and their

Kossuth in all his exile, has Just been
elected a member of the new Board of Ad-
ministration in Hungary, fer bis native
county Of Vesz. prem. The Colonel last year
joined the Garibaldian army, and since the
disbandment of the Liberals troops he has
entered the Sandman service. He Is now,
we believe, in Lombardy. Ihasz Is one Of
the heartiest and best. natured of men, aud
as brave as he is generous. In the last Hun
garian Revolution he served under BEN in
Trausylvania, The family of Ihasz is old
and distinguished among the Hungarian no.
bility, and repeated offers have been made to
the Colonel to forsake his revolutionary
schemes and return to Hungary.
Nothing, however, could detach him from
his undying faithfulness to Kossuth, whom
he not only served as a chief, but loved as q
friend. Along with Ihasz, other noted men
among the exiles have been returned
as members of the Board of Administration.
Among the best known of those are Gen.
Klapka, the gallant defender Of Comorn !;
Horyatb, the patriot Bishop; Count Teleki,
and even Kossuth himself. Zemplin was

The Ohio continues TO recede at this point,
having declined, during the twenty four
hours ending last evening, some two feet

Water-works, a channel depth here of about
twenty. eight feet. The river at Pittsburg

day, but mild for the season, and on the
whole, rather pleasant for February

The Louisville Courier learns from Can't.
Archer, of the Mariner, that Friday night
last Messrs. Rhodes & Co.'s wharf6oat, at
Point Pleasant, sunk. The boat contained
1000 sacks of corn, nearly all of which was
badly damaged. The cause of the accident
is supposed to be the fact that she was over
loaded, and her upper seams having been out
of water a long time, had opened and
caused her to leak rapidly. The Mariner
took large portion of the damaged corn to
Memphis, where it readily sold for fifty
cents per bag.

INDIANA LR0ISLATIVE TACTICS.
An Affair Of Rohor--.p Preparations .fov q
Hostile A,sang-FTSht to Take Place To

dag. ..tr
Yesterday morning two belligercnt meIss-
btrs Of the Indi6i q Legislature Hon. Howe
ard Heffton, and Hon. q. @. Moody, arrived
in t9is city, on the steamboat Telegraph,
with view Of having hostile meeting--the
former taking rooms at the Spencer, and the
latter at the Burnet House. Yesterday af-
ternooD, about three o'clock, Moody and
two friends went to the Magnolia House in
Coyington in carriage, where they re-
mained, in private room, without register
ing their names, for about an hour, after
which they left for Latonia Springs. About
nine o'clock at night the carriage returned,
bringing back the friends, but without the
principal, who, we learn, remained at the
Springs.
Soon after their arrival, Colonel Walker,
Moody's second, received a note from Hef-
from, who was in Newport, with his second,
requesting his presence in that town imme-
diately. He instantly started thither, and,
we learn, found Heffron's second aud the
two arranged for the meeting to take place
early this morning, somewhere in the viciu-
ity OF that place. The whole affair is man
aged with much secrecy, and it would really
appear that the parties had some desire for
fight, and were not working with view of
inducing the authorities to Interfere in order
to give an excuse for avoiding the shedding
Of blood, and yet apparently retain their
"honor." The weapons to be employed we
understand, are knives. Geo. P. Buell., and
Gen. Lytle, of this city, are acting conspicu-
ously, it is rumored, as friends Of the parties

CONCERNING THR REPORT OF THE MEETING
OF THE SOCIETY FOR SURPRISING THE CRYING
OF NEws- BoYs.-In the report of the meeting
of the Society for promoting the better OBJ
servance of the Sabbath, a reverend gentle
man, who then was unknown to the re-
porter, but whom he instinctively recognized
as Doctor of Divinity by his clerical and
dignited manner, was spoken of as "a rev.
erend gentleman of an exceedingly stern
and holy aspect" Ignorance of the rever-
end gentleman's name made it necessary to
repeat this description, in reporting his en-
phatic and forcible remarks on several
points, which, being laconic and to the
point, we were able TO give almost Verbdtin,
although compelled to condense the remarks
of the others; and we are gratifed to have
the correctness Of our report approved by
the speaker.
But this description ofthe reverend gentle
man of stern and holy aspect, though
strictly correct and in high degree credit
able to the reverend gentleman, became, by
the necessity for frequent use, a vain repe-
tition, which the Scriptures enioin us to
avoid; and in order to enable us to avoid it
in future, as well as to perfect the report, the
gentleman who was described as the rever-
end gentleman of the stern and holy aspect,
has kindly left us his name, which is the
Rev. DR.. Wilson, a distinguished and we'll
known clergyman fthis city, but whom the
reporter, being new to the city, was COM
PEELED to designate by his stern and holy as
pect.

Among those murdered was Mr.. Steven

DISTRESSING SUIoIDE--A Father Cuts His
Throat While Holding His Child in HIS
ATms.-0ne of the most distressing and
melancholy suicides that has occurred in
this city for along time, took place on Pleas
ant-street yesterday morning, about seven
o'clock. The individual was Thomas Ne
ander, an industrious mechanic, whose life,
save in one respect according to the testi-
mony of several witnesses, was exemplary,
and he was highly esteemed by all who
knew him. His great vice was g love for ar
dent spirits, and when inebriated, he was
generally semi-insane, which has been more
than usually the case for two or three days
past. Day before yesterday, he fancied that
some theft had been committed, and that he
was suspected of having perpetrated the
crime. This illusion grew more vivid, and
during the day and evening 1t weighed so
heavily upon his distracted mind, that he
implored every one he saw to kill him.
His intellect wandered more and more,
till morning, when he gave such evidences
of confirmed insanity, that his wife concluded
to call in some of her neighbors for assist
ance. When she went out of the house, she
left him with one of the children in his arms.
She was not absent more than five minutes,
when she returned, to find the demented
man lying on the floor, still clinging to the
infant and weltering in pool of blood.
He had taken occasion, during her absence,
TO get razor from a shelf in the room, and
cut his throat in most shocking manner,
severing the principal veins, so that when
his wife approached him, he was unable to
utter sound, but merely made some ges.
tieulations, and expired.
Coroner Emmert held an inquest upon his
remains, and the jury rendered verdict o.
suicide. The unfortunate man was forty
years of age, and leaves wife and two
children.

SOUTHERN EMIssARIEs IN CINcINEATI.-
We learn from reliable authority that there

Cotton States, endeavoring to negotiate with
prominent men here, for the purpose of initi-
ating the formation of a union between the
Southern and Northwestern States, on the
basis of the present Constitution, with an
additional provision, guaranteeing absolute
free trade. 1t is proposed to leave out New
England, New York, Pennsylvania, and New
Jersey. The seeding States had better save
the expense such delegations to the North
west will incur, as the people of that section
would scorn any such proposal.

TRUTHFUL REVELATIONS OF GHOST IN
ENeLAND.-The European Tines, of Liver
pool, says:
A curious affair is reported from Kendall.
A young woman, who has been ill some
time stated the other day that ghost had
come to her while she lay in bed, and spoke
in thick, husky, hollow voice, telling her,
while pointing in the direction below, to
follow him to the cellar of the house, where,
on removing the fagstone on the hearth.
something would be found buried, which
was the special purpose of his visit to re.
veal. On stating this, the form of the un-
earthly visitant vanished like dim shadow.
Slowly and silently the parties in the
house went to the locality in the cellar
pointed out by the man in black-dug up the
hearth flag, and found quantity of bones
(Which yet remain for the inspection of the
curious) buried little below the surface.
A quantity of hops, in good preservation,
were found scattered here and there over the
soil. These bones (human they are said to
be by some accounted competent Judges in
such matters) have been examined by scores
Of people. Their state of decay leads to the
supposition that n long, long gtime has elapsed
since they were put beneath the ground.
