L I'ruyn of Albany, tbe United Commissioner from New lork. It is proposed to celebrate the one hun lretli anniversary of American In dopendon-Tc, by holding a (Jrand Inter- iinuuiiii jxnioition or tue arts, manu factures and products of the entire wirld, ;n thi city ot Philadelphia in the jearlSiG.

It will exempliiy the unprecedented progress 01 our nation daring its brier existence 01 one hundred year ; and, while attracting to our thore.s tbe pro ducts of other countries, will exhibit to the world at rir-e not wr.at wo have ac-couipli.-heJ. but the vast resources of our territory leuiainir.g yet to te devel oped. Such an exhibition will be of incalculable benr-Gt to the whole land. and we are confident that no efforts will bi spared or a.M.statieti deuied hich wiil tend to make it a worthy commemo ration of' tbe greate-t event in the histo ry of the United States.

For the Journal. SsprocatatiMi cf tia -"aztci Statas at tha International Expositions are great National adverv.isc:nenta It is a good thing tor a Nation to be well represented at them ; but it is better not to be repre sented at all than to make a poor show. One of these expositions is evuivalent to a consud. W hen tho people are num bered tha figures are apt to stand for the whole term; and when the indus trial st ttm of a nation is fixed by the position it takos at a great exhibition a judgment is passed in the mind, univtr- al ot iu.ink.!id, wliK-a change not, un til the occurence of anothea Exhibition furnishes now d ta for consideration. Now, there is to be an International ..position at x icua x. m Austria, in tbo course of 1S73. ienna is ia the v.:rv' cs-'nt'-'r of E iro3. " Upon one side ii' it comes agricultural nn i jjstoia! Eu rope, and on the other manufacturing virope. All tnat the old continent can xhibtt in value, art, science, mauufjc- tutes aud agriculture wiil find its way to icuui. It is proposed that the United .Mates shall have a department in the World's Show ;" and wo say that that department must be good exhibit the best we can or it will be injurious rath er ttiau nenecoiai to mj country, as regards the object w must have in view, whieh is not ao much to spread abroad the name and the fa ma of the United States, a t3 extend our trade an J commcrtje, and to bring Old World eapitol and labor to our laud. This, at all events, must be the object ot the 'et ; and we ar8 therefore interested nt making the American Department, at V ienna, euthuiently attractive to draw men's thoughts hi; her ward. The De partment must not be stinted in its ne- oensary expenditure. ' Nothing is to b-j done without money, and money enough for thj purpo-e. We find, however, from a circular issued by. the Hon. Thomas YanBuren, IJ. S. Commissioner Is the International Exposition, that the committee on Foreign llclat'ons, of the House ot Kepresentativcs, does not re aiiza the importance of the work. The committee suggests to tha House, an ap propriation ot $100,000 Inr conveym goods for exhibition, from New York to the Austrian port of Trieste. This sum is too small. If this country is to b adequately represented and we think we have shown reason why it should, if it is to oe represented at ali the appro priation ought not to be less than 3)0. ll:V Tk.. 1 ..

H" Jo oof.- : TZX?2AXC TZSmiL AT ald : According to an nouncriucm, tbo Wecpine Water Divis ion, No. 1G, Sons t.f Teinierance, ha a festifal at their hall (the Folden Schoo Hou-e) on Wednesday evening, Deor'tn ocr Jb, 18i2, which was a perfect suc cess. The rnembers of the I)iriion had purchased and furnished a goodly quan tity of andies. nats, apples, raisins, etc., etc., which were sold at a rapid rate, the house being crowded to its utmost, with men, women and children. One of the features oT the festival was the sale of forty papers of candy, containing about two cents worth of candy each, one of which contained a $2.50 gold cin Tbe papers were sold for twenty-live cents each. Lhas. W. i olden drew the pnee pspcr. Besides the abox'e candies, nuts, ia, the lady friends brought in cakes, pies, and other good things, which were rapidly sold at auction, bringing a very high price for each article sold. But the most excitable feature of the feast was the selling of a beautiful cake, at ten cents a vote, to be presented to the ady who should receive the highest nutn ocr ot votes as ocrig the nest lookine ady (married or single) in the house. The voting started out with but little hopes of success, with threw candidates. In a short time, however, the house be came divided, and settled dowu upon two candidates Miss Lucy Murphin and Miss Sarah Hastings end at five minutes past one o'clock, a. m., the voting was closed, Miss Murphin having received 874 votes and Miss Hastings 870 votes, Miss Murphin taking the prize by four majority, the cake having been sold for $174.40. Everything passed off lively and aCL-ably, and at the close, many, who had taken no interest in the Division heretofore, expressed themselves as be ing satisfied that tne cause of temper ance was commendable, and tint here after they would throw their moral infl.i ence in that direction. The net proceeds of the evening were about $2-0. W). Yours &rj. A FRfF.ND OF TSJirEUANCE. U.MOK, Doc. 20. 1S72 Iciiaa War ia Crssca. The Indian war in Oregon continue, i So far f'Urteen settlors are reported killed, one of whom, Henry Miller, was tortured to death. About thirty of the ! Modocs have been killed. Litest alvi ces say the Modoc Indians have retreat ed to Wright's Cave, on the southwt-s? i side of iu!e Like, Oregon, with their children and squiws, and have laid in a good supply of provision. The cave is si uated on the high tabu land md covers about three acre. It has an un derground entrance, narrow and easily guarded. It is calculated that fifty Mo-j loo warriors with a numrer from Put River, and several Pintes with thorn, are fortified there, t'our hundred United States soldiers and mam volunteers are in arms against the Indians. Last Sun day, a week ago, a simall parry of scouts left Lamp rairchnd and they have not b."en heard from siuce. It is expected that a decisive battle will take place at Wright's Cave if the Indians bold their position. Ya'a College aad V7s:naa Castors. It is stated, "as a piece of news not generally known," by the Yale Record, hat ' s veral adie app tod for admis sion to the Medical School at the begin ing of the current term. ihev were re fused admittance, and "the Medical Facu'ty unanimously resolved that lilies woulluot be admitted to the Medical Department until they were also admit ted to the other departments of the Uni versity." We do not see the force of the rule. Perhaps society does not need female lawyers or' preachers, but nobody can deny that it. does need, for certain branches of practice at least, fe- ma e doctors. omen are in tin pro fession, and cannot be put out of it. The question is whether they shall le we!! or ill-educated ? To thi the lale Medical School substantially answers that they shall nit ba educated at a!!, until other women can be educated for the pulpit and the bar ; which amounts to sayiiig that the YaKi doctors are per fectly willing that we should have female physicians worthy of that name. Sc-asl to taa Dhacai EAfccry Attcapt to S:cap3 Sraaiel aai Ea:atei The American diamond thieves, Davis and Saunder-. who at St. Petersburg robbed the Russian Empress and three of the Imperial museums in the great city, confessed th.'ir crime to the au ttnrntien. and were sentenced to tei yenrs Iran-porta'iori to the Ural Moun tains. Full particulais were givo in our paper not long airo. The two Ameri cans were kept in the Moscow Peuiten tiary until the 4th of October, wlieu, be ing clad in the common fur robes of the convict, they were marched out, chained together band and foot, with three other retched convicts, and started en route fjr their cheerlesx destination. rar rounded by a battalion of soldiers of the line, and followed by a jeering crowd, the miserable procession na-si-d alor:r who had mingled in the bet society of New lork. Davis and Saunders ali along acted with extreme resignation, and seemed not to notice one another, though chained together; bxit when coming in sight of the village of Dalo grow, twenty-nine milas from Moscow, they broke their fetters, and, rushing upon the soldiers nearest them, snatched th;ir ma-kest, and incited the oth-r con victs to follow their example, which for a time partially succeeded, the guard be ing weak that point. All were e cured. ' again, towever and the two Americans were sentenced by the mili tary Governor of the next town to be branded on the forehead and be knotted with fifty lashes, which was carried out Shrieks of agony fol j .wed the branding, and after the knout i ig they were unconscious, and they pro ceded 00 their way-to the toil of the riaxiual is tb UriJ magnUSes, Is::?: cf TERMS ; $2 00 a Year ; - i:' ; Numbpj 40 1-1 Elastic TaraiA f&I&es SVs. e Jl ittuf'icturtr and Baihtcr gives this recip : Three pounds of ram wa ter are placed in a pot. over the fire, an-: when well boiling there are added A miners white pulverized w-xx, 1 ounce clear, transparent glue in emsll pieces, -ounces pnlveriied gum Senegal, flounces wlme aosp scraped fine, 2 ounces brown pulverized sugar; tne increments rt; placed in one by one, and every time stirred up ; it is well to take tbe pot from the fire everv time a substance is added, to prevent boiling ovtr; when all is added, the rot is removed from the fire : when sufficiently cooled, .' ounces alcohol are added, and finally 2 ounces fine Frankfort black, well ineor porated bv continued stirring.

Many years ago lloraoe (Jreuley wrote hi opinion of the province of a true American-journal in the following for mula : "My leading idea was the establish ment of a journal removed alike from servile partisanship on the one hand, and gagged mincing neutrality on the other. 1 believe there was a happy medium between these extremes a position from which a journalist might openly and leartily advocate the principles and commend the measures of that party to which his convictions allied him, yet frankly dissent from its course on a par ticular question, and even denounce its cindidates if they were shown to be de ficient in capacity or (far worse) in in tegrity. 1 felt that a journal thus loyal to its guiding eonvictiftns, yet ready to expose and condemn unworthy conduct incidental enor on the part of men at tached to its party, must be far more eiieciive, even party-wise, than though it might always be counted to applaud or icprobate, bless, or curse, as the par ty's prejudice or immediate interests might seem to prescribe. Lccal Editors. An exchange gets off the following on a lccal editor : "The local editor is the bond slave rf a3iction. His days are many and full trouble. He f the victim of popular alheies. "The ignorant believe lh.it the land scape of hi existence is diversified by ulcts of milk and honey. Iheintcl- icent that ho has bnt one shirt, and ha bitually goes to bed by ihe light cf a tallow candle stuck in a gin bottle. The former in their blind delusion look upon him as a companion of Princes, a guide and a philosopher to the amputator of coupon"; the latter are convinced that be subsists mainly npon charity, with a weakness for broken victuals, and would constitute a ftrong candidate for a va cancy in the alms heuso. Between thes two opinions of his character and social tttus are continually vibrating, and as there is usually a strong preponderance iu favor of the latter, even the charm of novcltv is denied to his existence. "If he writes an article of which Cur tis, or ivuerson, or nuskin might be proud, he is cheered by tho consoling rem irk : "These locals are a set of J d thicvea. Stole it? of course he did. He never eels off a good thing some one else did it." But if there be an error, he is unani mously sacrificed. Und.- th?se circum stances the enterprWng local soon comes to long for an interest in a strvchnine factory or a breech-loading shot gun. In the matter ot the selection of news, sorrow has ftiso marked Mra tor her own. The amount of contumely heaped upon his intelligent head in tbe brief space of twenty-four hours, would if converted into coin of the realm, ren- r him indepently wealthy.

The first section provides that all books, records, Ac., relative to con tracts or bids therefor, and all Touchers,' receipts, etc., shall be open to the inspec tion of any person, as a public record, at all reasonable buiness hours. Tha aaa ond section punishes dishonest transac tions, such as receipting for larger mms than are due, receiving per centages. eta, by imprisonment; aiso punishes' those who as witnesses, or other than principals, have to do with tuch acta: and guards informiw 9 from woaecuirion. The third section provides that all dis tributions to Indian tribes, of whatever nature, shall be public, and that any person may keen an account of ti e goods delix-ercd, etc., and that reason- . able facilities thereto ehallbe provided.' Indian superintendents aro to keep books wherein are to be enteted all in voices, etc. ; all such papers to snecifr' the Quantity and ouslitv of tha coods delivered. Agents and aub-aceDta ai to do the rarue. In obtaining auppliea, regular requisitions are to be fi'ed with' the contractors, setting forth, in detail, the articles needed, for which receipta are to be exchanged and recorded. Tht same section provides pains and penal ties for violations of its provisions : and the last section rcouires thi furnishing of United States District Attorneys, in whose baliwick Indian superintendenciea are situated, with copies of contracts., bid, vouchers, receipt, etc. It will be remembered that 10 the last year of . Johnson the corruptions in In- nan anairs 11 a a aroueu universal iiidig' nation. A radical reformation was in augurated in 1 80S, but the need of legal provi-ions I'ke those above described is evident. The main difficulties with the1 ndians have grown out of tho robberies of contractors and their agents, and if the red men are to be mercifully dealt with, these outrages upon them in the- name of the government mast stop. It is now proposed to terntonahse tte tribes, establishing a congressional gov; eminent over them, and materially changing the tennre by which, nnder treaty, they hold their lands. The first step is to protect them againtit rap?city and fulfill in good faith the treaties that we reaMy pretend to fudill. it we dsira to modify those which have pledged to the Indians their broad plains and rich' areas in jerpotuity. Gloht Eollogg ia Switierlaal A pleasant little incident is related of Miss Clara Louisa Kellogg, which oc curred while visiting the (jrindelwaldY glacier in Switzerland, daring her late' tour. Her party encountered; as other parties do, a young Italian Swiss, who earned a precarious existence by frautio efforts to rouse an echo from tne oppo site cliffs by means of an awkward horn. Mter draining every muscle he brought forth a melancholy too, with no great effect upon the opposite) crags. Misa Kellogg watched for some time bis vain endeavors, and then raising in the car riage, the gave one ot tho charming. mountain jodels. finishing off with- ax specimon of those inimitable trills which require uo patent to reader thorn unap proachable. In an instant came back four or five beautifully perfect echoes, with an impertinently clear trill at the end. The young lulliaa doffed his hat, and exclaimed: "Ah, madam, could I but make an echo like that ny fortune here would be made." Tho Causa of L&a.htar. Eli Perkins, of the N. Y. Commerciai' Advertiser thus discourcs: I've been ptudj-ing the cause of laugh ter lately. I thought .if I could nly find out what produces laughter, I'd gel some of it, and go to work, on philo sophical principles, and produce a hu morous lecture, but I find people are different. What one man will laugh at, another will call stupid. I know Sidney Smith says wit is a quick surprise and Sidney is right It's a switch off from the general course of thought an un common motion. Men laugh when a horse kicks up, laugh at anything cut of the ordinary line from, a bauged-up stove-pipe hat to a banged-up sentence in rhetoric. Arteinus Ward once spent a few days with me on tbo Balfour plan--tatioo, which I was running at Lkka Providence, Louisiana, in 1806. One day I caught him laughing at a grind stone which jerked auk wabbled aa tho negroes turned it to grind their hoes.. This eccentric wabble made the humor ist laugh, when a regular grindstone would have escaped his attention. Ecw- He- Haaiiri thol'Iall. A young man from Eastern city wbo IiatJ Lean visiting rural friends in thi vieiizity, after seeing a farmer thresh cut a "flooring" of oats the oth-. er morning, a-ked and received permis sion to swing the flail a few minutes, upon assuring the agriculturist that to was "perfectly familiar with the art cf thre-hing." Expectorating upon hia hands, tbe young mas sent at the oats, but at the first pass kuock&d the horn off the tew milch cow that was Uiivarely chewing her cud in a neighboring stall. TI io sucoud swing caved in ihe bead of the farmer, who thought ho was safo enough as long us he roosted on top of tha fanning mill io tbe t od of the barn, but without discovering the bavoa h whs makirg, the city avti-t ks,-.t at his labors; the "third blow fii upon lb oats, tbe fourth ki'lsj a Svttiag hca io. the manrer user by, uni the nftn pa-a o. iu3 ueadiy weapon was the best of ail, tr it cuuio around the young maa boom erang fashion, &.nd, taking him under tbe lower jaw, knocked him dowu, and thus put a stop to tbe work of -laughter. Ihe mere fact that the city "thivsber" returned to consciousness an hour befjr the farmer did, allowed the former to get several miles out of town before Ins efforts at threshing oats were discovered, by Lis DC-ighbors.
