A Sensible Whig. Mr. Oliver, of MiSsouri, was elected to Con gress as a. Whig, but at Washington, at the commencement of the session, he stood ' soli tary and alone. Those members who had been Whigs were so no more. They were en listed under the Black Republican and Know Nothing banners. In this state of affairs, Mi. Oliver determined to do what Mr. Clay, at Lexington, in : I, an Icipa mg the Whig party, as a national organization, said he would do. "Whenever," declared the Kentucky orator and statesman, "the Whig party shall become merged into a miserable, sectional Abolition party, I will renounce it for ever, and in the future act with that party, re- gardless of its name, which stands by the Constitution and the Union." "Now," re sponds Mr. Oliver, "there can be no doubt of the fact, that the Democratic party is nation- al; and I assert my conviction to be, that the only party in America that can overthrow __Abolitionistn,nphold the Constitution and the Union., and that it will do so if all truly na- tional patriots unsheath their swords and rally —under_its ample banner, with the high'resolve to conquer, or to fall gloriously on the field - of strife." Rifle Religion. In a late number of the. Boston Mail we find a well-timed and well-written ..article on the subject of "rifle religion"—having reference to the recent subscriptionspken up by the Rev. 11. - Ward Beecher in one-of his churches for the, purchase of Sharpe's Rifles, to send to Kansas. , We make room for the following extract: , "The clergyman has his place, and there he is respected an d honored. It is for him to speak of things spiritual, not temporal, and when he forgets the sanctity of the pulpit, and imitates the rancor of the forum, his general influence is then - impaired and his sacred mission insult ed. In the political arena he has no plate. Let him, in the retiracy of his study, entertain what opinions he may on the political questions of the day. Onseach reeurrin election let him exercise the citizen's noblest privilege—the right of, franchise- , —and • vote for those, candidates whom his judgment considers most worthy to bold office. But here- he must stop. Ins political principles, predilections, & prejudices should never find voice in • the pulpit, for there it is his only duty to interpret rightly and calmly (rod's messages to man. . "Least of all should the preacher inculcate doctrines which the Bible universally Con demns. He who is appointed to speak of peace should not breathe accents of bloodshed. J 3 ut there are those, we regret to say, who think otherwise. A recent instance at New Haven, and examples of which each day's news brings us accounts, prove how some clergymen inter pret their duty. It is disgraceful to the Amer ican pulpit that such things should be, and if these men persevere in their phrensied career, society will soon fearfully realize that they do not 'preach peace, -but a sword.' " Terrible but Successfill Surgical Operation. —The New York Mirror says: "Dr. Carnochan, of this city, one of the most eminent surgeons of 'this or any other age, has recently performed an operation for neu ralgia of an almost incredible character. The patient, a gentleman of this city, had beentor tared with neuralgia in the face for more than seven years, and had submitted to all sorts of op rations by various - distinguished physi cians and surgeons, with no - permanent relief, when he called in Dr. Carnochan, who under took the novel and hazardous operation of trepanning the cheek-bone and - chiselling out root the inflamed nerve which caused -all the suffering. The patient was thrown into a state of insensibility by inhalingehloro form ;-'and the operation, which lasted nearly an hour, was . performed in the presence of several physicians. When the nerve was cut off the patient jumped up' mechanically, but on' recovering his consciousness he had no memory of pain. lie is now doing well, and for the first time in many years can eat and sleep in peace." Antidote for PoisOns..—A correspondent of the London Literary Gazette, alluding to the numerous rases of death from accidental poi soning, adds : "I venture to affirm there is scarce even a cottage in this country that does not contain an invaluable, certain, immediate remedy-for such events, nothing more than a dessert spoonful of mustard, Waxed iii a tim bler of warm water and drank immediately. /t acts as an emetic, is always ready, and may be used with safety in any case where one is required. ,Three inches of snow. at Pittsburg, on Dionday.

The Democrat says : "In that Cabinet were the accomplished Legare, the elegant and erudite ITpshur, the brilliant Gilmer, and those twin giants of their age, Webster and. Calhoun.

Farm Lands for Sale The Illinois Central Railroad Company IS NOW PREPARED TO SELL Over Two Millions of Acres OF FARMING LANDS, IN TRACTS OP .40 2 Acnes AND UPWARDS, ON LONG/ CREDITS AND T LOW RATES OF INTEREST. VIESE lands were ran ed by_the_Govern ment, to ai in the construction of this Railroad. and include some of the richest and most fertile Prairies in the State, interspersed here and there with magnificent groves of oak , and other timber. The Road extends from Chicago. on the North-East, to Cairo at the South, and from thence to Galena and Dunleith. in the North-lest extreme of the State. and as all the lands lie within fifteen miles on each side of this Road, ready and cheap means are afforded by it for transporting the products of the lands to any of these points and from thence td Easternand Southern markets. - Moreover, the rapid growth of flourishing towns and ail !ages along the line, and the great increase in population by immigration, etc.. afford a sub stantial and growing home-demand for farm produce. The soil is a dark, rich mould, from one to five feet in depth, is gently rolling and peculiar ly fitted for grazing cattle and sheep. or the cultivation of Wheat, Indian corn. etc. Economy in cultivating and great produc tiveness are the well known characteristics of Illinois lands. Trees are not required to be cut down, stumps grubbed, or steno picked , off, as is generally the case in cultivating new land in the older States. The first crop of Indian corn, planted on t.lle newly broken sod, usually repays the cost of plowing.and fencing. Wheat sown on the newly-turned sod is stirs to yield very LARGE PROFITS. A man with "'a plow and two yoke of oxen will break one and a half to two acres per day. Contracts can , be made for breaking, ready for corn or wheat, at from $2 to 2,50 per acre. By judicious man agement, the land may, be_ plowed and fenced the first, and under a MOH STATE OF OULTIVA• TION the second year. • Corn, grain, cattle, etc., will be forwSrded at reasonable rates to Chicago, for the-Eastern market, and tfi Cairo for the Southern.' The larger yield on the cheap lands of Illinois over the high-priced lands in the Eastern and Mid dle States.ls..known to be 'much more than sufficient to pay the difference of transportation to the Eastern market. Bituminous coal is mined at several points along the Road, and is a cheap and desirable fuel. .It can , be' delivered at several points along the Road at $1;50 -to .$4,00 per' ton ; Wood can be bad at the same rates per cord. Those who think of settling in lowaor Dlin nesota, should bear in mind, that lands there, orally value, along 'the water courses and for - many miles inland, have been disposed of ; that for those located in the interior, there are no conveniences for transporting the. produce to market, Railroads not having been. intro duced there. That to send the produce of these lands, one or two hundred miles by wagon to market, would coat much more than the ei pense of cultivating them ; and hence, Govern ment lands thus 'situated, at $1,25, per acre, are not so good investmente as the land of this -company at theprices-ffsed. The same remarks hold good in relation to the lands in Kansas and Nebraska, for although vacant lands may be found nearer thewater courses, the distance to' market is far greater, and every hundred miles the produce of those lands are carried either in wagons, or inter rupted water communications, increases the expenses of transportation,. which mnst he borne by the settlers. in the reduced price of their products ; and to that extent precisely are the incomes from their farms, and of course on their investments, annually and every year reduced. The great fertility of the lands now offered for sale by this company, and their consequent yield over those of - the Eastern and ,diddle Mates, is much more thansufficient to pay the _difference in the cost of transportation. especial ly in view of the facilities furnished by Ibis Road, and others with which it connects,• the operations of which are, not interrupted by the Jow water of summer, or the frost, of winter. -- Price and Terms or Payment. The price will vary from $5 to $25, accord ing to location, quality, etc. Contracts for Deeds may be made during the year 1856. stip ulating the purchase money to be paid in five annual installments. The first to become duo in two years from the date of contract, and the others annually thereafter. The lait payment will become due at the end of the sixth year from the date of the contract. ['lnterest will be charged at only Tans per cent. per annum. As a security to the performance of the contract. the-first two years' interest niust be paid in advance, and it must be understood that at least one tenth of the land 'purchased shall yearly be brought under cultivation. Twenty per cent. from the credit price will be deducted for cash. The Com pany's construction bonds will be received as cash. U -- READY FaAim FARM BUILDINGS, which can be set up in a few days, can be obtained from responsible petal : They will be 12 feet by 20 feet, divided into one living and three bed.rooms, and will cost complete set up on ground chosen anywhere along the Road, $l5O in cash, exclusive of transportation.— Larger buildings may be contracted for at pro portionate rates. Special arrangements with dealers can be made to supply those purchasing the Company's lands with fencing materials, agricUltural tools, and.an outfit of provisions in any quantity, at the Lowitsx WHOLESALE PRICES. al7 -- It is believed that the price, long credit, and low rate of interest, charged for these lands, will enable a, tnan"with a few hundred dollars in cash and ordinary industry, to make himself independent before all the purchase money becomes due. In the mean time, the rapid settlement of the country will probably have increased their value four or five fold.— When required an experienced person will ac company applicants, to give information and aid in selecting lands. Circulars, containing numerous instances o successful farming, signed by respectable and well.known farmers living in the neighborhood of the Railroad lands, throughout the State— also the cost of fencing, price of cattle, expense of harvesting, threshing etc., by contract—or any other information—will be cheerfully given, on application, either personally or by letter, in English, French, or German, ad , JOHN WILSON, Land Commissioner of the Illinois Central Et.
