‘The following interesting description of a promi- sing rising town in the State of Indiana, conveys a good idea of the rapid progress which civilization is making in the west:— ‘The site of the town of Defiance, for pleasant- nes? and healthfulness of location, and for pictu- reeque beauty, cannot be excelled, if equalled, by any pointin the weet. The Maumee, at this point, is broad, deep and pure, with bold bluff banks, that rise immediately from the margin on the south side, and on the north, commencing several rods back, leaving a level space for the towin, path of the canal; the street and a row or two ot Build BS, rises rapidly into a bold and commanding emi- nence, which extends a long distance above and be- low the town, forming a most agreeable outline to the view. The Auglaize river here forms its junc- tiem at right angles, with the Maumee, at which point, are still to be traced with great distinctness, the outlines of old Fort Defiance, the fortification oopopled. by Gen. Wayne after the close of the yevolution, in reducing subjugating thore hordes of mercenary, rutl savages that stil! continued their depredations and perpetration of atrocities upon the frontier settlements, which wete instigated in the first instance by the British. _Du- ring ‘he last war, tais post was also, at one time, occupied by a British garrison. A little ferther up the Auglaize, may be discerned the remnants and stamps of the old picket fort, Winchester, and a short distance farther, numbers of little tumuli of earth, beneath which rest the remains of many a brave soldier, who was hurried into eternity by an epidemic, thut at one time prevailed in the camp ln a strojl to that ‘ Point” and up the bank of the Auglaize,gwhich forms a delightful promenade, and one much resorted to, it may almost be sai that we sire treading upon classic ground. How miany interesting associations and sad remipjscene ces crowd themselves upon the minds of con templative, as they view, one after another, these relics, which may not inaptly be styled landmarks in our country’s history; und yet there are those that can tread lightly over them, and stand even upon the earth that covers the remains of patriots that died in their country’s defence, without be- slowing a retrospective thought | pon those events of which they are commemorative. But time, whose magic touch builds up and overturns em- pires, also, slowly but surely, with his destructive finger, erases from the public mind the remem- bra..ces of the most important events, and ashe is no respecter of persons, places or things, no ex- emption from his influence could be expected for those above alluded to. Little now is thought of the tribes of red men that once occupied this coun- try, living and raising their corn along the valleys of the Maumee and Auglaize, and on the very spot where now the operations ot trade are briskly going forward, in primi- tive simplicity and happiness, until trans- formed, by the influence of British gold and “fire water,” into mercenary marauders—mon- sters of Bats ahd that then prowled about, or lay in ambush inthe thickets by day, and at night emerged from their hiding-places upon the settlements, to butcher the defenceless inhabitants, “to blast and to burn” every thing that came with- in their reach ; or of the military forces that wend- ed their way through the forests of this region in pursuit of these savages, to exterminate or reduce them to submission. The present and the future occupy the minds of mankind, to the almost total exclusion of thoughts like these. Itis therefere of the present condition and future prospects of our town, that we have to speak, and must therefore crave forgiveness of our readers for the above di- gression But itjis a fsubject to which we could not allude without giving way, in some measure, to the rejlections which it naturally inspires. The town occupies an area of about three-quar- ters of a mile square, desecnding gradually from all directions towards the rivers, though the principal descent is towards the Maumee, forming a ve even, regular, dry piece of table land, on whic are several beautiful groves of young and flourieh- ing trees, that have sprung up where once the In- dians raised their corn. ‘This make of land ex- tends much farther up both rivers, so as to offer most eligible building sites for more than a mile in each direction. The soil is of a rich luamy cha- racter, and makes excellent gardens on all parts of the plat; and by digging to the depth of about twenty-five feet, en abundant supply of the pure and most wholesome water is obtained. The build- ings that have recently been, and are now being erected, are 1n fon taste, and many of them large and substantial. Within a yearor two, the im- provements of the town have been extended west of the canal, and among them are a few large and elegant dwelling houses, built in excellent taste During that period there have been erected, three large, and as many emaller stores, four goou sized warehouses, one church, and a large brick school house, one ashery, one tannery, and dwel- ling houses in proportion. é Our Town Council have shown that the right kind of liberality and public spirit exists among the citizens, by constructing good side-walks through- out every principal street, and only one thing iv now required to render this one of the most agree- able places for a residence in the west, and that is, to remove several old rickety, dilapidated blocks of buildings, that have the appearance of being of an- tediluvian construction, and that, were it not for sacred histery to the contrary, might be supposed to have withstood the violence ot the flood; and to erect others in their stead. E é But it is not only asa place of private residence, that this town is desirable; those who think that Defiance is not to become a place of any commercial importance, reckon without their hests. Already is there a business done here that is equailed by tew, if any places of its sizesand mechanics of all kinds find plenty of employment, and are thriving. Situated as it is, at the conflu- ence of the cpceeiarira rivers of the countiy, a good port on the Wabash and Erie Canal, which affords ulse, a valuable water power—in the heart of a fertile country rapidly populating with the most staunch , industrious and enterprising class of farmers that any country can_boast of, it cannot fail of Lecoming an inportant point of trade. Ge MS#f£OCK’S COMPOUND FLUID EXTRACT OF SARSAPARILLA.—For impurities of the blood and a oure for all diseases a: sing from a'depraved stste of the system, or vitiation of the vital fluids, viz.: Serofnia and Uleerations Mercurial Affections, of the throat or loga, Byeent in its worst form, Eruptions of the Ski Affections of the Glands, Geveral Debility, Bilious Diseases, Chronic Rheumatism, Chronic Sore Eyes, Liver Affeetions, Stubborn Ulcers, All pimples, sores, and breakings out upou the face aro permanently ‘cradicated by its use. It also greatly im- proves and beantifies the complexion, and dispels all sal- Towuees, tc. When we reflect that the blood pervades every organ, circulates throughout the whole system, we can but con- clude that if health is enjoyed, the vital principle must be pure. The great virtnes of Sarsaparilla as a restorer of pay to the blood, and consequently a cure for all ma- jadiea arising from its impurity, are well known to the world. To get it concentrated and free from adultcration is therefore an important objeet. srs Comstock & Co. having given much attention ta this subject, have at length brought forth another far suparior to any in use. It is compounded with other auxiliaries of established efficacy for purifying the blood; it i tire new and approved pro ble to mos' the worthle: ‘icles sold as Sarsaparilla. ‘The suci which has followed its use, and the amonnt of suftering which hos beon relieved by it is a sufficient recommendation forthe article, without our adding any more.

Philadeiphia. (Correspondence of the Herald.) PuiLaveLPuta, August 8, 1848, Affairs in Philadelphia a few days cince, that we new hear no ers at the military. This remark J find to be incorrect, tor if you tok at the netive journals you will see that every effirt is made to bring them into contermpt Wy false statements ot their conduct aud by ludicrous pictures representing them in apy hing but a favorable light. The native speakers take up the same tone, and seem to be exerting themselves to the utmost to get up another row. CharlesJ. Jack, pn individual who tor he last ten or fifteen years has been offering himself a candi- date for office to every parry which he thought would take him up, and who finding the parties averse to swallowing such a dose of vanity, igno- rance and vulgarity, volunteered on ene or two occasions, as the people’s candidate tor Congress, yesterday came out ina letter giving his statement of the first fire of the troops on Sunday, the 7th ultimo, which you will perceive differs mate- rially trom the evidence of Col C. G. Chiids, of the North American, and the only respectable witness, belonging to the Native party, who has been ex- amined. I will not take up the space of the Herald the puerilities of this veritable Colonol; but will treat him precisely as { did the Hon. Charles Nay- lor, who figured so largely in a communication to the public touching the conduct of Gen’!. Caawal- lader, and his, said Naylor’s, arrest for insubordi- nation as a member of the sheriff’s posse. The one communication is about as verecious as the other, though Nayjor’s, being written by a mind of a different order from that cf the man whose thoughts it purports to record, has produced some- what more effect upon the opimons of some than that ef Jack’s. The intellectual calibre of the two Charlies is about equal, the pre- ponderance being, perhaps, on the side of Naylor. Fortuotous events gave him some popularity, with a certain class, which has been ina measure sustained by the letter, which some one behind the curtain, and tor a dastardly purpose, wrote for him. Jack’s insiguificance, however, stands ulone, unsustained by the least infusion of genius. Al- though made the subject of an attack, calculated to raise any other man in the opinion of his party, yet, has he sunk under the weight of egonsm ant dullness, into his natural imbectlity. Nobody pays op attention to him or his published statement ack, however, isa strong, and much to the chagrin of the more sensible of that party, a lead- ing Native. Having failed in convincing all other parties of his fitness for Congress, he now addresses Eimself to Nativeism, and ite organs presist’ in manufacturing a great man of him, ufter fashion. They allow him to make his own statement for the purpose of using such portions as may suit them, well knowing that the vanity of the man in other portions will stick out strong enough to knock an: decent nan down. ‘Thus they kill two birds ies one stone, allowing Col Jack to kill himself off, and using so much ot his statement as is confined to a mere relation of supposed facts, tor the purpose ol morally killing off the miluary. In the mean- time, and uaul that purpose is effected, be 1a to be invested with politicians importance. What the Natives are to guin by this, ualess io enlist a body of men, the very cream et the community, und ail their friends, in ective hostility to their party, I know not 1 know that the active men in tie rank and file of the natives were to a great extent the rioteis, that a large body who stood by and did nothing openly ‘encoureged them, and that all, with few exceptions, deeply sympathized with them, and that it is nature al for men to hate those who shot down there per- sonal and political friend, otherwise { should be at a loss to account for this apparently, insane conduct of their organ Dirguise it as we may, it is in vein to deny, that the late outbreak was an attempt by the active and imy w ements of the new party, (ano sinall portion of the same,) to get up areligi- ous massecre, “which would huve stained the ane nals of the middle ages,”* and in the attempt to check the same on the part of the civil authorities, the ire of the natives were aroused, and the issue was then fairly and publicly made, as | have before siated, the Native American Party againet the Con- stitution and the Laws of the land. Father Dunn, the priest of St. Philip’s Church; who has made himself gearce ever since the out. breok, has partly emerged from his hiding place and given the public a communication touching the search of the church for arms, by the sherifl committee of twenty, which gives the le to their published statement. His statement corresponds with the evidence of the sherifl and others, and bears within itself internal evidence of truth. It were better, however, if this man would cease to appear before a Philadelphia community, as to his nervous indiscretion, operated upon by the silly tears of his brother, who has made himself obnox- lous to the sober and reflecting of ail our citizens, muy be attributed the outbreak in Southwark. PRESENIMENT OF THE Granp Juny.—The Grand Jury made their long expected presentment to the Court of Quarter Sessions this morning, and after the document had attentively examined by the Judges, were thanked and discharged from turther attendance. The presentment attributes the lute outbreak in Southwark to firing upon the meeting at Kensington, which they say engendered feelings in tue breasts of many which predisposed them to seize upon any pretext for riot outrage. ‘The arming of St. Philip Neri Church afforded this pretext, and consequently a mob col- lected more determined and systematic than any which had previously disgraced our city or coun- try, and it was not dispersed until fired upon by the military. The inquest further say, that the em- ployment of the nulitary force to sustaim the laws is not jusfiable until the civil force shail have been tied and tound unavailing; that in the case under consideration, the civil, power had been invoked but its efforts proved fruitiess, and that the presence of the military was absolutely nee cessury to preserve the public peace and te property of the citizen on the evening of the 7th of July. This being established, of course, their firing upon the mob who attempted to drive them from the grouad is established also. The in- quest goes On to say that the right of the sheriff to fire upon the mob ought to be regulated by an act of Assembly, or in other words, a riot act ought to be passed by the legislature, to read to a mob on the breaking out of a riot, and the time fixed at a the sheriff thereafter should be permitted to fire. This would take away the discretionary and power ef the sheriff, would leave the question offtime to be defined by the law. The condact of the present sheriff in relation to We riots at Kensington und Southwark was then taken up avd the same ground as sumed as I disclosed in one of my former communications. The grand jury say that the fauit in not prompUy suppressing these outrages upon law, lies at the door of the pecple themeelves. The sherift did his duty; he exerted all the yowers the law cooferred upon hin; he summoned the posse comitatus, but afew only obeyed the sum+ mous ; and when the force raised by this means was found to be miserably insufficient, and in fact in anticipation of such a resnit, he made requisie tions upon the muitary arm. As the grand fury AL the people alone were to blame’ for had they ral lied in defence of the laws as promptly us did our armed and disciplined citizens, there would h been no necessity fora resort to the latter. ‘1 rest of the Grand Jury’s report was taken up with the details of a plan for a centralized police, which they recommend without abrogating the present local governments, and consolidating them into one municipal corporation, Such a plan is ali tudge. Nothing can eflect the objcct but a consolidation of the local governments and the establishment by them of a strong, uniformed, vut unarmed police. New Tria & p.—This mormng Judge Parsons read an opinion refusing a new trial to Messrs. Alexander & Scott, proprietors and editors of the “ Daily Chronicle,” who were convicted some two terms ago of a libel perpetrated the day before the last fall election, upon James i, Hutchie son, the democratic candidate tor Sherifl of the city and county of Philadelph: After the opin: had been read, Jndge Campbell annoanced that the se would be passed at the cowmencement of ext term, the firet Monday in September. Tuk Viner Suor at tHe Kensiaton Kiots.— The billogainst isaac Here, the young man who was charged with firing the first snot from among the native meeting at Kensington, and wounding Patrick Fisher in the face, was ignored by the grand jury, but a true bill was found against his futher, who is 80 years of age, and against whom. the testimony, is very weak. “The tesumony against the young man on the contrary, Was very strong, and the Attorney General, yesterday, wok mea- Sures to have him bound over a second time for the purpcee of sendi:g anew bill to the next grand jury.
