This piece of Road was always Bod but the late freshet live washed the Road entirely away and persons travelling Aro compelled to Trevol for 150 Yards through and along the Creek Bottom in soft Muddy soil that it is impossible to get a Wagon with a fair Load through. An Effort is now making to slightly change this Road so As to Cross Trio Creek on Good ground where a Bridge can be built and which will be done by the trustees a if the change is unde. This improvement will be of Jpn a Satar it Lay la Tkv 4aj of publication of to locomotive great convenience to the Large travel on that Rood and we Hare no doubt will Advance the juice of land along it four times As much As the Post of the improvement which will be done entirely at private Lapense without its coating Llie town rip a cant. It appears singular to us that Farmers and land owners do not spend More each year in improving their roads. In All neglect in this matter they stand in Fleir Kwh Light Tutti is very Little difference in the i Quality of the land in this county in almost any Dir Ertin from the City and yet on isme roads Hind Sells readily at from fifty to four Hundred dollars an acre while on others the a a Uno distance from the City it will not sell Lor the half of and Altos thur on account of the roads. No stranger visiting this county to buy land and locate will select on a Road that is so bad for six months in the year that lie cannot travel or Send his teams Over except with half loads and then with Strong men to thrash his horses through the mud. Farmers must think More of this matter it is for their interest Hoth Pecunia Rily mid for convenient. A n. Blue have a Small Rod of Blue gras in our offt left by air. A. Mcmahan not As a specimen of extra Large Grasa but to slow that this grass will grow As Tine and thick Here As in any place in the world. The Sod is so Fine and the grass is so thick on it that a mouse can t Jass through it and it is All Small and tender just the right kind for nourishment for cattle. This is Only a specimen of forty acres Liat was grown and spread Ltd without extra care and has driven out All weeds this tics and every thing of the kind and is now a solid Sod of As Hue Blue grass As can 1� raised any Placo.

Oily Gammon we suppose furnishes the following Morceau of nun that will be new to our citizens As Well As the albanians. Where could he Unver been to get so deep in the cml a Hack mud. We know of no locality near the Centre of the City along any of the Side walk that is As deep a this reliable writer represents even during the present a wet when this a a Benefactor visits on City again if be will have i arrival properly announced our City authorities will without doubt have the walks swept for his Especial Benefit i expected to find a Largo number of buildings in course of erection in Indianapolis but i do not see Many under Way. To Tere Are however some half Doz in Fine Largo budding going upon the Pri Newial streets and Diere May be More on the outskirts where 1 have not yet been. The streets Are tur Ful Muddy almost impassible in fact tor foot passenger. Whon trill the citizens of Indianapolis he shamed in to the work of improving their streets or Arv th�3�?T waiting for the legislature to do it As Indianapolis Lias been built up by the mean of a a out riders or non residents it is no More than fair that when their benefactors visit the City they should be enabled to travel around with tit sinking ankle deep in foul Black mud every few step. Win Loeb Bekiri into hate a a Caso was tried m new York last week that brought tip the question As to whether lager Bier will intoxicate. It was in evidence Liat 106 glasses pints had been drank in one Day by one Man without being intoxicated and 22 glasses in three hours. The following snal Yris was presented a evidence professor do remits who testified that Brandy contains Horn 63 to 65 per cent alcohol Madeira wine 20 to 33 per cent port wine from 26 to 26 per cent rein wine 10 to 13 per cent Claret 12 to 16 Champagne 10 to 12 cider 8 to to Porter and ale 5 to 8, and lager Bier 3 tier cent witness made an analysis of the lager Bierot Verol firms which to named and found it a pure As it could be made he says that it depends altogether a Ion the susceptibility of the person taking lager Bier whether it is intoxicating or not but As a general Rule it requires a great Quantity to intoxicate. To but the Prospect at this time look very gloomy for a Good crop this season. The wot season i at no tic the great majority of the land i wet that it has been impossible to plow Macb less Plant and at this time May 29, we. Don t believe tie re is near one halt of the ground broke for Corn and not More than one fourth planted. Some of our formers whose land lays High have their Corn in and it it coming on nicely while others have part of their crop in and a great Many that have not planted a Hill. Unitas a change in the weather should take a Dace very shortly the chances Lor even a moderate crop Are von slim. Under there circumstances those that have their Corn on hand will in making Money by holding it the great event of the week was the Pic Nic excursion to Noblesville of the Temperance friends at least seven Hundred went up from this City and nearly As Many were there from Hamilton Coli qty. Making a congregated Assembly of about 1,600 men women and girls. We understand they had a Good time generally and nothing occurred to mar the pleasures of the Day but a disposition on the part of the marshals to prevent dancing and a persistent defer Inin amp lion on the part of the Young folks to have dances which a compromised by those dancing that wanted to. The Only Accident we heard of was Young or. Beck breaking the Cap of his knee while engaged in one of tic plays. The company returned at 6 o clock with music and banners flying. The floods on monday night did great damage to Tho railroads running Riffith. Tim Madison Road lost a bridge1 at North Madison the Jeffersonville Road was damaged and the Cincinnati Toad lost n Bridge and had Tho track washed away along the canal. A Bridge was Dimiro cd on Tho Road Between Richmond and Cincinnati on the Central route. The repairs have been speedily made and the roads Are All now regularly run most of them Oil time. This flood was unprecedented a Large amount of water fell in a very Short time but the Corn used prevented any fatal accidents on any of the roads entering Here. At this Date Friday morning the sky is Clear and the weather pleasant but there is no telling How Long this will last in those Uncertain tintes. Bridge Bridge Over Pogue s run on Meridian Street was washed away a few weeks since and As yet there has been no move made by the Council to replace it. This Bridge was an old affair supported by trestle work and poorly adapted to the purpose but its loss poor a it was is greatly Felt by a Large class of citizens. A Good Bridge is needed at that Point or a Culvert would be better and until one is erected tier sons going Over the Creek will be obliged to travel squares out of their Way. Will the committee on Bridges Lay this matter before the Council at their meeting to Iii evening ? to tits Yin Vennea Sun says that Between eight and Niue Hundred feet of the trestle work Over Trio Wabash at Vincennes of the Bridge of the Ohio and Mississippi Railroad was washed Awn during the late freshet. This Canses a bad break and passengers and baggage have now to be 1 sated Over. A the finances of this Road Are in a very bad condition. It May be some time before tills break is closed and in the mean time the travel Between so Louis and Cincinnati will All be Ali rough this City.

These Wall will be of uncut Stone the balance will All be dressed Stone. The Federal finances condition and prospects of the Treasury. Let tilt Tom the Secretary of the tit am by. The Scabury department May 19,1858. Sir in View of the Early adjournment i desire to Call tie attention of Congress to thu present condition of thu government. In my annual report i estimated that there would to a balance in the. Treasury at the end of the present fiscal year of 8426,875 67, which would have required a deficiency in our resources of live million of Ilo Llars to be provided for As that amount is be Esstry at All times to to in the Treasury for its prompt and successful operation. This estimate was based us Iii an expenditure limited to the appropriations then authorized by Law. Since that time the demands upon thu Treasury for Trio present fiscal year have been inure us de by legislation to on amount not Jar mow ten Milius of dollars. Author important Clement of Liat Esti tii ate was thu Proha Lilc receipt front custom Ami Otter sources during tie then three remaining quartet of the fiscal year. The actual receipts for Liat period it in now believed will fall ten millions Mouty Tat estimate attributable to the fact that the Trade Luid business of the country hav not recovered a. Rapidly from the effects of the Lato revulsion As Ems Theu anticipated. Owing to these causes thu Twenty millions loan of Treasury you a authorized by the act of dec. 23,1851, will Ini exhausted in supplying tie deficiencies in the Treasury Lor the present fire al year. We shall commence the next fiscal year dependent entirely us it of the current receipts into the Treasury to meet All demands from al la reply to a Call us in the Heads of the different departments i i ave received Liat the sum of $87,000 will be probably called for during the first two quarters of the next fiscal year. Thu sum docs not include such amounts a Gay be a in it pria cd by Condrea sover and above the estimate submitted to them by Tbs Deji Arment and i have no data upon which to estimate for such expenditures. Upon Liis Jiu iut Congress is better Able to 1 Onn a Correct opinion than i am. To meet these expenditure it in not prudent to rely upon receipt into Tho Treasury estimated Union the too rapid revival of Trade and business. I Lelieve Liat we May solely calculate upon receipts during that period from off sources of s25.000.00u. Looking to this Slat of tilings. I recommend Luu authority be Given to this deportment to Supply any deficiencies Liat May arise in mulling the dam quids upon the Treasury by an additional loan but 815,000,060. I View of the amount of Treasury note already issued 1 recommend a loan for Bluit amount to in negotiated for a period of not More Lurn ten years at a rate of interest not exact ditto six per centum. I have confined this inquiry to the two first quarters of the next fiscal year As Congress we a reassemble before the close of the second Quarter and it will he time enough then Sli Ould it become necessary to provide for future contingencies that cannot now be foreseen. A _ i do not recommend any Macure for increased taxation. It would be us be at this time to attempt a modification of the Tariff act of March 3, 1857, tor the reasons Given in my annual report to Congress. Sufficient time has not elapsed to test the eur cts of that act upon the Revenue considering the condition of the country during the period of it operation. _ in addition to this consideration neither the receipts nor the expenditures of Tho government i Giuld be. Estimated for in the future upon the basis of its present receipts and cd and itunes. Tie former have been and still Are too seriously affected by Tho lates revulsion to justify a policy of legislation has cd upon a probably continuance of this state of things for any considerable period of time. The latter have lieu so greatly increased by cause of a like temporary character is to preclude with equal propriety alias policy of considering them of a basis for estimating future expenditure. The most prominent of Thuee temporary causes l the Utah expedition which it is hoped will not reach beyond Tho end of the next fit Cal year. During tie period of an overflowing Treasury a a a Tom of Copen Thun was inaugurated in tie building of Ciu Tom houses Ostrof ficus court Bowes. And other Public works Plikh lbs tuna adv for the country Lias been checked by the exhausted condition of the Treasury. The Trow thu Giten for a More thorough and rigid inquiry into the new my and propriety of these it is confidently Behoved will Lead to Wise and salutary reforms. Retrenchments in other Gnu ethos of the Public service can and 1 have no doubt will be effected attention should be directed More to the reduction of expenditures than to an increase of taxation to remedy the evils of an Creea of expend tips _ Over the Means of the government. A full Treasury is an us propitious element in the work of retrenchment and Reform h measures should Ike now adopted to provide the Treasury permanently with a sum equal to the present demands upon it it might relieve the government from spate of its embarrassments but would greatly weaker the Effort to restrain the government to an economical expenditure of the Public Money. _ the revival of business which cannot or much longer delayed will i am confident insure from tie present Tarity a sufficient Revenue foe tie support of the government in Ordinary cd in of a Rand Rod necessary by few equally extraordinary always being of o temporary character Touhl be provided for in a like temporary manner. This principle u too Plain to require argument or illustration it u Only necessary to Call attention to it to command the approval of every intelligent i am very respectfully 11 swell Conn Secretary of the Treasury.
