Mr. Editor Deu Sir: The defeat of the allied tribes at Tippecanoe crippled the In dians to such an extent that they never suc ceeded in making another decided stand against the whites, excepting the Miamias, who were attacked and helplessly defeated by Lieutenant John B. Campbell, on the Miasissinewa river in 1812. Slowly and surely they gave way to the steady step pings of that people who were destined to now the seeds of Christiany and Civilisation Where once they dwelt :n all the nobleness of their savage nature which, although not exactly commendable, yet it is with reelings of pity and regret that the student of their history views their pitiable and sad Tate. Long and bitter was the struggle that ensued before ihey left del'encelicss the graves of their lathers. Strong in the con viction that their title to this great land was a "fee simple" one, perpetual in its grant, and stamped with the approval of the Great Spirit," whose children they were, is it any wonder that they sought to retali ate on those who had invaded the sacred precincts of their wigwams f who had robbed and murdered their fathers when under the influence of that "demon" which was instrumental in tho accomplishment of their 'hellish" designs t TTe answer in the language of Logsn-No ; when he came to my house and Was hungry, I fed him; when he came cold and naked, I clothed him s but, serpect-M!-e, when I held him to my bosom until warmed to life, he turned and stung me.' "Never," says Jef ferson, "will I forget those mournful words, "Who is there to mourn for Logan f" In 1815 the Territorial Assembly passed and presented to Congress memorial ask ing for admission into the Union as a State, and on the 7th of November, 1816, the Ter ritorial Government was superseded by a State Government. The question is often asked why the growth of the State has been so slow up to within few years ago ; but, in comparing her condition witi that of mcst of the States of the Northwestern Terri tories, from a topographical and geograph cal standpoint, many reasons present them selves, which, when carefully examined, will enable one to give a true solution to this problem. In Illinois, as in all prairie States where the natural advantages are many to aid in the erection and easy way for railroads, avenues of travel are quickly opened up, and one year's immigration will amount to more than ten in a State covered with heavy forests, like Indiana was when found in the first days of her settlement. Where these forests prevail we generally find the land swampy and wet, and until they were cleared away and the land ex posed to the influence of the sun and wind, her interior was almost inaccessible ; and it was only along navigable streams that roads were to be found, and these were nothing more than Indian trails, which in time be came well-beaten highways; and experi ence has proven that it takes twenty to thirty years to make good roads in a soil heavily timbered. In going from one set tlement to another, and in making journeys to and from mill, fcc, often days were cus tomed, so great was the distance and the inconvenience ot crossing streims, where, perhaps, a temporary structure called a bridge had been washed away by a freshet, trees blown across the " highway," and many other draw backs, "too numerous to mention." Hence it will be very easy to see that instead of the early settlers turn ing their attention to questions of public enterprise and general utility, ttey had to devote all of their time to extorting from the soil their daily sustenance, which they considered paramount to public improve ments. There is some difference in opinion as to the geological formations that are found in this State, but so strongly are the character istics of the drift of the northern half of the State marked, that the conclusions are almost unanimous that this dritt is the re sult of the Glacial period, and that its pres ent distribution was effected by the agen cies of ice and water. This drift is com posed of sand, clay and gravel and numer ous boulders of rock of crystalline and tnetaphoric nature that are found embedded In it. There are scarcely any positive ob jections to refute or question the truth of the upper or boulder drift proper as belong ing to that period, while below this we find a compact bed of clay whose dark lead color is owing to the high state of impregnation of lerric sulphide. Siliceous rock, gneiss, greenstone and pebbles are found in this bed corresponding with what is found in surface formations. The age of this drift is bard to ascertain, as no fossils are found excepting the imperfect remains of forests of semi-tropical trees, but the condition and nature of it would lead to the belief that is formation was accomplished by grad ual depositions, nnlike other places found where we are led to believe that the de posits were the result of rapidly dissolving glaciers. Superficial deposits are found in the northern counties, while beneath them are uniform strata Of rocks. These deposits are mostly in ridges of almost pure sand, and from their nature teem to mark the gradual retiring or Lake Michigan to its present margin. While the dip of the out cropping rocks of the State are westward yet it is not uniform, for we find in the southern part the dip is westward about 80 feet per mile, while in the central part the flip is south of west 20 feet per mile, and in some places the strata are upheaved so that many reversals take place. The Lower Silurian formation presents the lowest rocks of Uie State which come to the surface, while the Devonian formation out:repa in bear strata of limestone belonging to the Csrniferous group extending from the Ohio river to Monticello, where It disappears under the northern drift A fine-grained Mod-stone, known as the' argillacious, out crops west of this, and is ranked by Michl gn geologist with what is called Marshall sandstone it is composed of limestone and shales. This group in many other coun tries present coal seams, but in this form ation it is perfectly void of Seams of coal, nhile in its shales perfect specimens of ma rine fossils and coal plant are found. This "knob sandstone" forms the floor of our . I a - J oe"s na marks the eastern line of them. East of them all rocks outcropping above the surface dip westward under them and are geologically beneath tiem. A rray Eastern sandstone of a course-grained na ture, U noticed on the eastern margin of the great Indiana coal field, ranging from 40 to 100 feet in thickness. It has the characteristics of what English geologists denominate " conglomerate or niilUtone grit." Spaces exist between the massive sandstone base and coal, which are occu pied by beds of shale. Occasionally stratum of limestone of an impure nature, mingled with fire-clay and sandstone per fect casts of sigillarias, catamites, ferns and other beautiful and perfect specimens, which geologists kive to study and admire, are found in these shales, while the limestone I furnWhes marine fossils of a atibcarbonifer ous character. The specific gravity of the j coal of Indiana is much less than that of lue Appalachian system. A much less freological disturbance, combined with an elevation ot temperature aud the light pres sure the fields are subjected to, says Prof. Brown, would have a tendency to diminish its gravity below that of the bituminous system, although asimilsrity exist between the seams of each field, and that in all prob ability before the upheaval of the Miami Axis" and the Carboniferous and Devonian strata were divided they were united. We would like to enlarge on the " Eco nomical Geology of the State, but time and apace will not permit, henae we will glance casually at her natural facilities, from a geological standpoint. There are between 6,000 and 7,000 square miles embraced in the coal fields of Indiana, all of which is bituminous ; yet from the peculiar properties it present it is divided into two classes (if you will allow me to express it in that way) known as "the free burning " and the coking coals." The first class is in blocks and is found at the base of the coal measures in seams three to five feet thick. These seams are often sep arated with a conrse of shales, fire-clay and sandstone ranging from twenty to thirty feet in thickness. A bituminous shale, named by the miners " black slste," forms a roof over them, while a light-colored clay usually is found underlying them. Perfect lines of lamination are presented, caused by a vertical fracture, which indicates that the formation had been made of successive layers, resembling hardened aspbaltum, aud have no tendency to harden with heat. Small fragment of charcoal are found, in which fibers of wood are found almost per fectly preserved. This charcoal, being uo bituminiaed, causes ery little smoke to be produced until bslf consumed, and on com bustion resembles that of anthracite, leav ing about four per cent, of ashes. Veiy little sulphur or phosphorus is found in it, and it has no tendency to run together into cakes, bnt the blocks maintain their origi nal shape until consumed, giving it the peculiar properties necessary for the smelt ing of ores, aud almost equal to charcoal in the production ol pig iron. The upper coals are highly bituminous, producing much smoke, clinkers and ashes. Cannel coal is also found in several counties in the State. In fact, a vast amount of wealth lies bidden beneath the soil of Indiana, waiting for the hand of enterprise to reach down and lift it up among the developed wealth of the country. Large and rich varieties of iron ore are fonnd at the base of the coal measures, mingled with beds of shales in the form of nodules several feet in thick- . fTo be continued. 1 f. p. n. Information of the robbery in the Post- ofhee, of postage stamps and watches, was scattered as speedily as possible on Monday a week. On that day a despatch was re ceived that a tramp had offered a watch- case for sale to a watchmaker in Uarrisburg, and had been arrested and would be held subject to further proceedings. Mr. Wag ner, who is conducting the watchmaking and jewelry business in the Post-office room, in this town, went to Ilarrisburg and identified the case offered by the tramp, who gave bis name as John Peters he is a German. The watch that belonged to ex-Sheriff Lou don, and which was in for repairs, had been sold te a colored man for $2.00, but was also obtained. Chief Justice Cilly of Har risburg brought the tramp to this place on Wednesday, for lodgment in jail. Since the arrival of the thief, a second watch has been obtained at Ilarrisburg. It U the one that Michael Stooer left at Wagner's for . ... . .,j repairs. 1 ne watcn naa aiso Decn sum io a colored man. Tba last-nrentioned watch was sent to Wagner ty Harrisburg author ity on Saturday. More development are expected. There is a talk of the United State authority taking hold of Peters for for robbery of the Post-office. McClure's Times tells, in the following way, in the issue of May 30, of the crook edness of a former citizen of this county. The Timet says: James B. Spiese, a Har risburg lawyer, was convicted in the United States District Court yesterday, before Judge Cadwalader, for receiving as a fee for the collection of a pension a sum in ex cess of $25, the amoant fixed by the pen sion laws, it being a criminal offense to charge more to a client than this sum. The evidence showed that Spiese had collected $142.80 arrearages of pension dne Sarah Collins, an old woman, whose husband had been killed during the rebellion. Upon the receipt of this amount Spiese told her, so she swore, that be bad only obtained $390. Out of this be then took $100 as a fee. and, after giving her the balance, advised her to deposit $150 in the bank. This she did, and Spiese drew it all Ot and only gave her $50 of it. The defense tried to break down the old lady's story, and it was urged thst the lawyer had performed other services for her. The jury, however, rendered a ver dict of guilty without leaving the box. Sen tence was deferred. "Recently, it hat become known that bees are nicely hived in theeorniceof the Luther an church in Licking Creek valley. The bees enter the cornice at the end nearest the road. How long they have been there is a ques tion to conjecture at, with no probability of a conclusion being reached. The bee, it is reasonable to suppose, belongs to the per quisites of the pastor, and therefore Rev. Mr. Berry may be congratulated on the prospect of a full supply of delicious honey for next winter' use in the parsonage." Aspirants for office, at this early day, are canvassing the county for nomination. SHORT LOCALS. In German, Dunkel means dark. In German, Fertig means finished.

Quite a number of people from town at tended the Sabbatb-school Convention, at Centre, last week. lion. M. S. Qnay has been selected Chair man or the Republican Stat Committee. A first-rate selection. " Congressman Bridges has received the petition of over 2000 Lehigh county men protesting against Wood's tariff." Mr. Kurt Kaufl'man, Who liea a mile from town, in Fermanagh township, has been seriously sick, within the past week.

The Perry Conuty Republican Convention last week resolved that "the pay of mem bers of the Legislature should not exceed $1,000, and that future legislators should not receive pay for extra time." The European war situation has a peace ful appearance, with the exception of the attitude of Austria.

The attendance in the Convention at Centre, last week, was large, and those who were present speak in the highest praise of the hospitality of the people of that vicinity. The Potter Committee will pot a number of men. The common senseof the people in this country is too well developed to allow a lot of political bums to drag the country into a war for the office of President, and for office as Congressman, and so forth, at Washington. Certainly it is not necessary to caution greenbackers against too hard study of the currency question. The danger of such study is manifest to all who hare learned that an ardent advocate of the subject is now insane and roving wild in the woods of Texas.

The Secretary in a communica tion on Saturday tells them to search thor oughly, and all that he asks is that he have the right accorded to him that is accorded to other people in cases of investigation. A one-sided investigation will be anathema tized by the people. A quantity of well-executed counterfeit trade dollars baa been captured in Cincin nati. They are composed of block tin, bis muth and pulverized glass. They possess pretty nearly the standard weight and have the exact color and the trne ring of real dollars. The only way to detect them from the genuine is by means of weigher or by pressing them between the teeth, when the glass which they contain emit crscking sound." Another attempt was made to take the life of William the Emperor of Germany, last week, by a Communist The weapon used was a shot-gun loaded with buck and small shot. The weapon was discharged while th King was driving through a street. He was hit in a number of places, but not seriously wounded. It is needless to say what the end of the assassin will be. In deed, he is already about disposed of. Having resisted an arrtst, be Was fatally wounded by the police. The Huntingdon Journal says: A friend informs as that on Saturday night last, be tween the hours of 12 and I o'clock, the barn on the farm of J. M.

Fisher's mill, in New Buffalo, was rubbed of two barrels of flour on Monday night a week. A man named Wm Liddick, of Buffalo township, La been arrested and lodged in jail, charged with stealing chickens from the premises of Jacob Bretz. He sold the chickens to Messrs. Duukle k Richards, of Montgomery's Ferry, where Mr. Brut rec ognized bis poultry. The Count Poor House was entered a few night ago, by cutting out a pane of glass, and then unlocking the window. The thieves carried away 117 pounds of sugar, 14 pounds of tobacco, 10 pounds of coffee, S or 4 pairs of shoes and some matches, also a crock or butter. On the following day, the sugar, coffee and tobacco were found secreted in one of the fields, care fully stored and covered with leaves.

Hudson, of near Thompsontown, Juniata county, started his two boys, Lewis, aged 13, the other a few years youngor, in company with a colored driver, with a wagon load of corn for B. II. k J. Fkkes, of Newport. In going over the bridge that spans a small stream of water, which comes down the gulley at M. Oreo's, on the famous Howe township river road, a short distance from Newport, the sills of the rotten structure gave way just as the three horses and front carriage of the wagon had got rifely over. With commendable presence of mind, the driver instantly drew reins and spoke to his horses and they nobly bung to their work, pulling the suspended wagon up on to solid ground. Tbe moment the wagon crushed through, the wagon bed and corn were burled to tbe water below, a distance of abont twenty feet Lewis sat on a board that projected from the hind end of the wagon, for the purpose of drawing the lock in going down grade. He had just thrown off the brake and resumed his seat when the accident occurred. He was pitched along w ith the corn, several bags of which rolled on him, but, singular as it may appear, he sustained no injuries save a few slight bruises shout the body and a more serious knock over the left eye. The wsgon was tried severely, but came out of the wreck with the hind hounds partly broken.
