We have read the proceedings of the
Indiana Legislature mp 10 the evening OF
the fifth day. Several important measures
have already been introduced, but, owing
to the crowded condition of our columns
can only refer briefly to few of the most
important this week. A telcgraphic dis
patch on the first page gives the names Of
the officers elected in both branches. on the
first day. all Of whom arc Republicans
The balance OF the officers afterwards elect
ell in both branches are also Republicans.

This was intended to prevent windy Dem
ocrats from retariing business by making
long speeches Mr.. March. in the Senate.
introduced the original cmbczzlement bill
passed at the last session and vetoed by the
Governor. 1t was read second time on
Friday. Several sets Of resolutions rcla-
tive to the state of the country have been
introduced in both Houses, mostly by
Democrats. but we cannot for want Of
room speak particularly of them. Mr..
Jcnkinson of Allen, democrat. offered
a resolution on Saturday. declaring that
Indiana was ready with men and money
to defend the Federal flag whenever at
tackled.
In the Senate, on Monday. Mr.. Dickin-
son introduced bill apportioning the
State for the next six years for Legislative
purposes. This bill gives Marshall and
St. Joseph one Senator; Marshall one
Representative; Lake. Porter and Stark
one Senator, and Jasper. Pulaski and
Stark one Representative. w
In the House. Mr.. Cameron introduced
resolution inviting Hon. Abraham Lin

to visit the Legislature of Indiana. on his
way from his residence to the Federal Cap

and guarantees him al the money he shall
want for that purpose. The capitalists
Of tie great seabord cities have arrived at
the very sound Conclusion that their inter

Spirit of southern Democrats.

The fact that Sc Southern Democrats
voted against the following resolution Of
fered by Mr.. Adrian Of n. j.. in the House
on the 9TH. proves beyond controversy that
it is tlisunion and lawless party:
aResolsd. That we fully approve the
bold and patriotic conduct of Major An
derson in Withdrawing from Fort Moultrie
to Fort Sumter, and Of the determination
Of the President to retain that fearless off,
Ger in his present position, and that we will
support the President in all constitutional
measures to enforce the laws and preserve
the Union.
In his letter Of the 9Th tho Washington
correspondent Of the Chicago Tribune
thus describes the scene that ensucd upon
the introduction of the above resolution.
to which. one would suppose. no lover oil
his country would offer the slightest OBJ
lection:
"Mr. Adrian novel a suspension Of
the rules. The explosion of bombshcll
in their midst could not have produced
greater excitement OF commosion. A Ba.
bel Of voices cnsucd All sorts Of ohjec-
lions and motions were made. But the
Northern members almost IN a solid body
sustained the resolution. 1t was con-
test of Southern impetuosisy against
Northern srabborness. A vote was OBJ
tanned and the 7 Hes were suspended. The
question then turned on the passage Of tho
resolution After protracted and highly
exciting struggle the ayes and nays were
ordered As each slave-holder rose IL

iion, at Anderson. or Buchanan, or th<
/ Free States or the Union. The only
Southern members who sustained the res
oluiion were Winter Davis, Etheridge
Adams and Anderson of Kentucky. The
result OF the vote was Ia in the afhrma
tive to So in the negative. Old Buck feels
vastly ticklcds He says. jokingly. that il

| In the same letter the correspondent says
The spirit Of determination to put
down this rebellion and enforce the laws
is rising daily among the masses Of thu
people. A delegation Of Democratic cap.

Carolina Rebels.
Intelligence was received here on Friday
last that the steamer Star of the West,
which had been chartered by the U. S.
2 Government. for the purpose of convey
ing 800 troops and supplies to Fort Sum-
ter. had been been fired into by the South
Carolina rebels. from battery erected on
Morris Islsnd. near tho entrance to
Charleston hsrbor. and that the vessel,
having no cannon aboard with which to
repel the attack, had been compelled to
pnt back to sea again to avoid being sunk
or taken by the traitors. This news, nat
uraEly enough. created the most intense ex-
element in our town. and every one con-
hdently expected that the next flash Of
/. lightning along the telegraph wires would
bring rs tidings of q bloody battle at
Charleston. but. in this respect We are oil
happily disappointed Major Anderson
forbore to fire on the offending party. but
Immediately dispatched messenger with
white flag to Gov. Pickcns. inquiring of
him why an unarmed vessel bearing the
Aas Of his government had been fred on.
and informing him that if the act was not
disclsimed. he would regard it as an act of
war. and would not, after q reasonable
time for the return Of the messenger. per-
NIT any vessel to pass within range of the
Fsrt. Gov. Pickens in reply, stated that
s the act Of firing into the Star Of the West
was fully justified by him. and that Major
Anderson could take whatever course he
thought proper. Upon tho reception Of
Gov. Piekens' note. Major Anderson con-
cluded to refer the matter to his govern
mcnt. and asked the Governor not to
allow any otstructions to be placed in the
e way Of the departure Of the besrcr of the
despatch. Lieut. Talbot The request of
Maj. A. was granted. and since then things
have remained in statu quo around Charles

The future condition Of the territories, so

will ultimately be determine by the nat
ural laws that have hitherto controlled that
species of property; that is. climate. soil.
and productions. so that any question that
can now be male upon It mnst be more an

Why then Is it so difficult to adjust all
differences between US. and what has caused
this fearful political commption, this panic
that has prostratel all the commercial re-
latioas OF the entire Union? Tsis state OF
things followed Immediately upon the re-
suit Of our late Presidential election, anil
it would be difficult. l apprchen.l. to give
as reason for the present condition oil
things any other than the result Of that
contest. The South regarded the election
|of Northern candidate by a Northern
party as the sequence Of anti-slavciy agi-
taton. The Southern mind has become
impressed with the belief that there is no
longcs any safety 10 them or to their prop
crty. IN union with non-slavehohling
States; and that belief docs not rest upon
any ono act Of the prevailing party, but in
the chain of events that connect together
