Z. That civil war is to be cult
waited. o.
g., That the pecuniary podigacy
of the Administration of President
Lincoln is utterly condemnable, and
that the system of wholesale specu-
lation and plunder which has charac-
terized the different branches Of the
Government, since the fourth Of
March, has no parallel in the history
of our country.
9. That we are firmly and ear
nestly convinced that the mass of
the people are hostile to the usurpa-
tions of the last six months. and be-
lieve they must, if continued, end
i'll anarchy or military despotisn,.
These have been the constantly
reiterated views of the Daily News
for several months past, and if they
render our paper worthy of indict-
ment, we have only to say that We
covet no better fate.

The New U. S. Gunb0atS.

The New York Evening Post, OF
the 10th inst, says:
The first Of the twenty-three gifil-
boats now building for the Govern
ment in this city and vicinity, Phil
adelphia, Boston and other points,
will be launched at the ship yard of
Mr.. John Englis, tomorrow after
noon.
The next, which is in near an
equal state Of forwardness, will pro-
bably be launched next week at Wes-
tervelt's yard.
These two vessels, according to
the contract, We're to be ready in six
ty days from the 27th Of June, but
have been rapidly pushed forward,
and will be launched before the ex-
piration Of that period. The machine
ry will be completed in thirty days
thereafter, and the vessels will proba-
bly, have on board their ornaments
by the last of September. Fou-
others, building at Brooklyn, VII
liamsburgh, and Greenpoint, have
fifteen days additional time, and win
be completed accordingly.
Though nominally gun boats, the
size, strength and armament of these
vessels place them. among first class
ships of war.
They are to be of equal dimen-
sions, and as nearly similar as it IS
possible to make them. The extren.
length is one hundred and sixty-six
feet, the width twenty-eight feet,
and the depth of hold twelve feet
The timber is mostly of white OAK,
and the knees, braces and fasteninss
are Of the strongest and completes
description. The draught of water,
it is calculated, will be about nine
feet.
The armament will consist Of
twelve 80, Founders, with pivot
gun amidships-probably a Colun-
biad Of the heaviest description. A
small pivot gun may be placed on the
fore-castle deck.

Ne.o York Daily Nems IN Reply
to tie Iudic1me'st.-On the morning
after the day the News and other
New York papers We're indicted, it
came out with the following manly
and straightforward replication
Strenuously, consistently and un-
swervingly, the Daily News has
maintained, since the bombardment
of Fort Sumter, an event for which
the Administration Of President Lin
coin is wholly and solely response
Bile
/. That the civil war in which
the country is involved is iniquitous,
uncalled for, and destructive of the
property of the Republic, and that it
had grown out ofa wicked and de1aa-
gogical catering to Abolition fanati-
cism on the part Of the authorities at
Washington, which cannot be too
severely reprobated.
9. That every drop of blood that
has been she'd in the present contest
has been a calamity and that every
life that has been lost has been a
murder, which might have been avoid
ed, had patriotism and moderation
prevailed in Federal councils.
). That the increase of our army !;
the expenditure of money without
permission Of Congress the block
ade OF Southern ports the procla-
nation Of martial law the suspen-
sion of the writ Of habeas corpus
the invasion of sovereign States
without summons from their EXecu-
tives OF Legislatures the overthrow
of the authority of local courts and
the abrogation Of our military and
naval laws, have been utterly uncon-
stitutional acts, committed in defiance
and violation Of the oath Of Office Of
the Chief Magistrate of the land, and
for which he ought to be impeached
and deposcd.
i. That it would be far better to
permit the discontented portion of
the United States to depart in peace,
and more in conformity with the
views and intentions OF the original
trainers of the constitution to suffer
the Republic to be divided into two
Confederacies, than to array the diff
fcrent sections against each other in
strife, and to blast the
future prosperity of the whole Union,
by an expensive, improbable and
bloody war, which must inevitably
end in leaving sectional issues, as
unsettled as they We're before it be-
gan.
5. That the grievances of which
the Southern States have complained
have been, mainly, well founded, and
that the compromise plans suggested
by Senator Crittenden and Bigler in
the Thirty-sixeh Congress, and by
other conservative representatives of
the people in the extra session of the
present Congress, ought to have
been adopted.
6. That the acknowledgment by
the Federal Government of the right
Of slave owners to convey and hold
their property in the common Terri
tories, would have been pre-eminent-
ly just, and that the Confederate
States will do wisely to insist upon
constitutional right to self-evident, at

Editorial Correspondence.

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. II, l86l-A. NJ.
Leaving home on Friday at 9; 80 A. NJ,
I arrived at the beautiful Prairie City about
Pm.
The former editor of the Express having
gone to New York to assume the duties of
the Agency of State, his successor (Mr.
CRAFTY found engrossed in his duties of editor
and practicing lawyer. The paper will re-
tain its high character as Republican or
gan under Mr.. C.'s management. It is one
of the institutions to which Terre Haute
points with pride.
The new Union Passenger Station, about
half mile north of the present shed, is
nearl yRompleted. 1t used to be a rough
hotel called the Station House, in an out-of-
the-way spot, and rented for a sum that
didn't pay the proprietors for their invest
ment. The three Railroad Companies will
use it when complete for passenger purposes.
Accommodations will be provided so that
| travellers can be comfortably fed and lodged.
This will be hard on the hotels in this city,
/ but a great accommodation to travellers
staying over from one train TO another.
! The D. B. Campbell is running to points
above and below Terre Haute, in connec-
! ton with the T. H. & R. r. R. She is
doing considerable business.
| 1 was informed that Col. Thos. Fl. Nelson
is talked of as Minister to Brazil under Pres
ident Lincoln. The gallant Colonel would
worthily fill the place formerly occupied by
Profit and Wise.
It is thought that there will be three APP
plications from the First District for the q.
| S. Marshalship William Jones, Esq, OF
Spencer DR.. Andrew Lewis, of Gibson
and Nathaniel Usher, Esq, of Knox. There
is no doubt that our District ought to have
the place in the person of one of these
gentlemen, and doubtless will get it.
As our train whistled for Greencastle we
heard great shouting that reminded the
writer of some of last summers Republican
meetings, for enthusiasm We all hurried
out to see what was Cup" when we found
the depot platform filed with College-stu-
dents. On inquiry we found that they were
assembled to bid farewell and " Goo
bless you" to their esteemed friend, Prof
Miles j. Fletcher, who was just going to
Indianapolis to assume the duties of the Su.
perintendency of Public Instruction. We
never could believe that such affection coulC
exist between preceptor and pupils as W.
there saw exhibited. We saw the g tear o
regret intrusively swelT' in many an eye OF
account of the separation.
Mr.. Fletcher assumes his Office on Thurs
day the 14th inst. Mr.. Harvey, Treasurer o
State elect, takes his office to-day. The en-
tire State administration will then. be IN tn
hands of the Republicans, except the Su
preme Court.
The penitentiaries and benevolent institu
tions are in the hands Of the opposition t.
Republicanism, but they will soon be re
lieved of the responsibility of these institu
tions, and in the course of time it is hope
that Republican judges may be placed Of
the Supreme bench, and thus the last yes
tige of that evil influence be removed iron
State control.

Mr.. LincOIn's DepartuH

Mr.. LincOIn's Departure from Home.
Mr.. Lincoln was accompanied by large
concourse of the citizens of Springfield from
his hotel to the cars, where an immense
crowd had assembled to bid him good bye.
after he had shaken hands with a number
of friends, he took his stand on the platform
of the car, and spoke as follows;
Ny FRIENDS: No one not in my position
can appreciate the sadness feel in thus
parting. To this people l owe all that |
am. Here l have received nothing but
kindness; here were my children born /;
here one of them lies buried. I know not
how soon l shall sec you again. A duty
devolves upon me which is perhaps greater
than that which has devolved upon any
other man since the days of George Wash
ington. He never would have succeeded
except by the aid of divine Providence, upon
which he at all times relied. l feel that l
cannot succeed without the same divine aid
which sustained him, and in the same AL
mighty Being place my reliance for support.
l hope you, my friends, will all pray that
may receive that divine assistance without
which l cannot succeed, but with which
success is certain. I again bid you all an
afectionate farewell. Loud applause and
cries tive will pray for you.
During the speech Mr.. Lincoln betrayed
much emotion, and the crowd were affected
to tears

Legislative summary.

SATURDAY, February, 8, 1861.
STANDARDIZATION were presented from
the University of Notre Dame; from citi-
zens of Clay county on the State of the
Union and in relation to the claims of in
dividuals all of which were appropriately
referred.
Committees reported laying on the table
a petition from citizens of Jefferson county,
in relation to the option of plaintiffs bring
ing suits before Justice of the Peace, for the
reason that bill on the subject was before
the Senate amending the bill to authorize
clerks of courts to enter satisfaction of
mortgages; recommending the passage of
the bill providing compensation to the own
ers of animals killed on railroads; recon-
mending the passage of the bill relative to
the formation of manufacturing companies;
recommending the passage ofthe bill legal
izing assessments made in cities all of
which were concurred in.
Two reports were presented from the
Committee on Military Affairs the MAORI
ty postponing indefinitely the bills intro
dueed by Messrs. Anthony and Ray, and
the minority dissenting from such dispo-
sition of them for the reason that they had
not been thoroughly examined.
Pending motion to lay both reports on
the table, call of the Senate was ordered,
which disclosed the lack of a quorum and
the necessity for an adjournment.
Messrs. Claypooi, Hamilton, A nthony and
Wagner were announced as the Senate's
portion of the joint committee on appor-
tiOnment.
