Hopkinsville, Jan. 12, 1857. W. N. Haldeman.Eso., Dear Sir: I have found the Indiana.

Broken Banks The Indianapolis Sentinel published an article on Monday, in whici it censures and justly reflect upon the Auditor of State for Mb complicity in the affair of the Gramercy Bank. The Sentinel says: It is reported that all the liabilities of the Grams ercy Bank, including circulation, amount to about The Lafayette Journal says that reports muke the deposits "range from five to thirty thous they did net hr ing it they would make no part of that sum. The! stockholders would therefore look sensibly alt thematterand say to their roads, bring the coa' and let us have the dividends. We are pleased to see that our city council have taken t'iis matter in hand. Let them urge it on with nil possible dispatch.

We will aid them all we can. The branch railroad that is to connect tis with the coal field must be built, and the sooner it is done the better it will be for our city. "We do not intend to let the subject pass from our columns until the road is made, or in a condition to insure that it will be constructed at no distant day. Naturalization in England. The English papers are beginning to discuss the value of a certificate of naturalization.

A Frenchman, named De Chatelain, having married an English woman and taken up his abode in England, became naturalized there in 1848. From that time he has exercised the right of suffrage both at vestry and parliamentary elections. He has, consequently, believed himself to be an English subject, until re fcODtSVIUtiB, ST.

Tf you wish to hire, sol! or purchase servants, rent or sell houses or land, or invest money to the very best advantage, be sure to Advertise in tbe Courier the paper having far the largost Daily circula tion in tho city or State. Snail we have a Railroad to our Coal ieios: Our columns contain an advertisement by Messrs. H.

Crittenden, that they have made arrangements to bring coal from Evansville to our city. The advertisement gives no hope that the coal will be sold at a reasonable price, for that would be impossible. The pricepaid for the coal at Evansville, the freights paid upon it over different lines of railroad, and the ferryage across the river, to say nothing of the expense of handling tho coal so often, forbid all hopes of a living price. What, therefore, seems to be pitiless extortion on the part of the coal dealer, miy be the poorest remuneration for what has been expending in time and enable him to bring the coal to our market. But only think of a city, like Louisville, standing more than three-fourths of a century, within a few leagues of illimitable coal fields, being thus compelled to get her coal from a sister State, and by such a circuitous route! The coal brought to us from Evansville, first passes over tho Evansville and Grawfordsville Railroad more than a hun miles in a northerly course.

Then it changes cars a'. Terre Haute, and taking an easterly course, passes over the Terre Haute and Richmond Railroad more than seventy-five miles to Indianapolis. Then it changes cars again, taking a southerly course and passes over the ef fersonviile and Indianapolis Railroad a distance of more than eighty-five miles to Jeffersonville. There it leaves railroads, after having come upon them nearly three hundred miles, and crosses rive near a mile wide, before it can be said to be within our reach. When the coal thus reaches us it has undergone the charges of three distinct nothing of the many handlings it has been compelled to pay (or on its way to oar market.

Is not this a terrible state of things for a people who have lived seventy-'five years, within seventy-five miles of inexhaustible coal mines, lying turbed beneath their own soil? How many more years will we continue to be cur own worst enemies? How much longer yh.aU we hear the cries of the poor whose blood the cold has chilled? Shall we not alleviate the sufforings of those who cannot help themsalves? Does not the responsibility of all the suffering weighing upon our city rest upon those who could have prevented it if they had exercised tin' powers given ihera by an all-wise Creator? Is this the first time the Ohio river has failed to supply us with fuel! Does not that fickle stream baffle our hopes ahnost every other year? Have not the exhorbitant prices this most treacherous of rivers has made us pay, every alternate year, for oal, been a constant drain upon the hard earnings of our poor population? Indeed, it is high time we had abandoned the river as a reliable source for coal. Its ice and its sandbars shiuiid rise up in judgment against us and condemn us for our credulous folly. No city can become groat in this climate, and upon such a river as the Ohio, whoso dependenoe for one of the great staples of life is solely upon tho navigation of that river. The cold our winters and the heat of our summers will blast all the fond hopes that aro based upon the continuance of navigable water. Le; it not bo said that coa1 cannot be transported in a other way so as to compete with the navigation of the Ohio.

This is an old fogy idoa, and tho sooner it is exploded tho better. We have heretofore shown that coal can be transported by railroad from the coal fields in the southwestern portion of the State and sold in our markets at prices lower than the average of coil brought to us by the river. We are prepared to show this fact a' any time by figures that leave no room for doubt. Nor do we intend to cease impressing this act upon our readers until a branch railroad is constructed i'rooi the main stem of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, that shall extend into the coal fields located in the southwestern portion of Qur State. Nature has laid there inexhaustible ipplies of coal, and from the moment that we are connected with those coal fields the prosperity of our city will enter upon a new era.

Manufactories will spring up in our midst like exhalations. Business will throw off her mourning garb and put on the drapery of joyous youth. Oar wealth and our population would increase as they have never done before, for then capital would seek investment here and people would not. fear that they would be frozen to death in winter if they came hare to live. Shall we be told that the price of coal will not bear railroad transportation? It is a historic fact that railroads owe their origin to the transportation of coal.

The first railroad ever constructed was at Newcaitle, in England, in the year 1676, f. the purpose of conveying coal from the mines to the banks of the river Tyne One hundred years afterward ana thor railroad was constructed for the same purpose at the Shef- ffield coliiery. It was not until 1825 that English railroads were used for any other purpose than the transportation of coal. In tho last named year other articles of commerce were carried upon the railroad leading from Stockton to Darlington. The firs', railroads, of course, did not use steam as a motive power, to bear along their coals.

Locomotives did not run upon them for many years after their invention, and the first 1 uso of these mighty propellers belongs to our own country. But that railroads were first used for the transportation of coal, and that this was their origin, is a fact as well authenticated in history as any other. Why then shall they ho allowed to abandon the use which brought them into existence? Shall thoy be allowed to say they cannot afiuwi to transport coal! Pray tell us for what purpose railroads are built, if not to take us where want to go, and bring us what we want? Wi: cannot understand how merchandise can in-transported cither by river or by railroad, hut that ial can only come and go upon water. There is but one solution of this difficult question, and that is if railroads charge too much for trap s-pOTting coal, they must be made to charge less. There is no sense in building railroads if we have to pay them such freights for one of the great staples of life as to forbid its transportation up'on them.

siiou serve us'instead of our serving them. They are only composed of iron and wood, and materials that have no feeling, wnilc we aro feeling creatures of a higher and nobler cast. Now suppose a branch road should leave the main stem of the Louisville and Nashville rail road at Lecsville, or thereabouts, and extend fifteen miles into the coa! fields in the southeastern portion of Grayson county. The whole length oftbe railroad that should thus connect us with the coal field, wouldbe about seventy miles Suppose again, the owners of the roads wished to charge us eight cents per bushel for bringing coal to Louisville, and we would not pay them more, than four cents per bushel. Would thev refuse to bring the coal for the four cents per liunhel if they could get no more? The revenue the roadi would get, would decide the questibu.

In Louisville we consume 3,000,000 bushels of coal per. year. If the roads brought us this coal at four cents on the bushel; they wbuU make the good round sum of $120,000 per year; and if EXCELSIOR. '9 SIXTY HOURS FROM NEW YORK. pim IS THE ONLY COMPANY RUNNING OYEIl the Pennsylvania.

In the city where I reside, th-jre was an office connected with a large mercantile establish ment, so situated that the son never shone upon it.

It was in the rear of the building, with a single window, and that so surrounded with buildings as to exclude the sun. The occupants of the office died one after another, until the proprietors became alarmed, and had the office removed to another of tbe building. One of the occupants I at tended, when tbe last stage of his disease. He entered the office a strong healthy man with no hereditary tendency to trie disease, and temperate and.egular in all his habits; but in less than two years he was carried, like is predecessors, to the grave, a victim to consumption.

A Strange Case. There is at the Sixth Ward Station House, a young Scotch woman who was taken there on Wednesday right, on the double charge of being a lunatic and of having committed malicious mischief. The Lieutenant of tho ward became convinced, during yesterday, that there was no foundation for the charge, for the girl was perfectly sane Her st ory is that some two or three years since, she went as a domestic into the employ of the of a public house in this city. he ublican took his employee out of the kitchen after a time, and gave her a more equivocal position in bis household. After some time becoming weary of her, she was turned off, and she having become infatuated iib her late employer hung about his place and somewhat annoyed him.

To get rid of her she was arte itcd and taken before an Alderman tind charged with being a hu ntic Without any other evidence than the testimony of the publican, the sirl was sent to the Insane asylum of the Blockley Almshouse, where it was soon discovered that she was not insane. The chief President Physician of the institution then took her into his Kitchen as a domestic, and she remained in that situation until recently. She then obtained a place at service, where Bhc continued for a time. Meeting her old employer the publican he again proposed to take her to his house. She accecdod to the arrangement, and remained with him nutil he figain turned her away to make room for a rival.

Thediscarded girl, who is completely infatuated with tho man, committed a trifling indiscretion for tbe purpose of her rival. For this she was arrested and taken to the Station House by her old employer aud an officer, with the understanding tlat she was to be taken back to tbe Almshouse as a lunatic. This morning the prosecuter dropped the case on receiving an intimation that he was laying himself open to prose cution for conspiracy. The girl will bo discharged. Philadelphia EveningBullchn, 5th.

Revolt in Auburn Prison. There revolt at the Auburn Prison a few days ago. One of the prisoners was ordered by Mr. Curtis, a contractor, to do a piece of work. The prisoner refused, and was confined.

"On Monday morning some sixty-convicts, in the Machine shop, gathsved hammer's aud other tools, and formed a circle ready for fight. The contractor came in and enquired what was going on. Some of the prisoners replied that they were holding a town meeting, and wanted to know-how he would vote. He withdrew without further parley. A committee of prisoners was sent to demand the instant release of the man confined in the dungeon.

The committee did not return as soon as was expected, so tho whole body armed themselves with what tools they could get aud marched to the hospital. The prisoner was released, and bis fellow convicts' resumed labor. Yesterday things were quiet but the Auburn Guards were ordered to hold themselves in readiness to come to the rescue at a moment's notice, as further trouble was anticipated. The yielding by the prison officers will give the convicts new courage, and we may expect to hear of further trouble- Perhapsthe bloody scenes which have been recently enacted in the Massachusetts Prison at Charlestown, may be expected at Auburn." Obedience should have been enforced, even at the expense of the life of every prisoner who resisted. Rochester (IV.

was as follows: Circulation outstanding $21,171 BONDS ON HAND. Indiana 5's 4,000 Indiana 2's 15,000 Louisiana 6's 12,500 $31,671 These Banks were both the property ef Charles j. Wheelock and Edward F. Nexsen, residing in Lafayette. Theformer, Mr.

Wheelock, came to tb5" office not lonr sfneo, ana unurmen me xnat it was their tntention to withdraw the circulation of both Banks, ana invest their entire capital in the Bed-lord Branch of the Bank of the State of Indiana, with which they had recently become connected. For this purpose he desired to withdraw the stocks on deposit in my office, and supply their place with gold lor the redemption of the circulation. 1 declined his proposition; and in a few days afterwards he retnrned with a bond of indemnity in the snm of S66.000, signed by several gentlemen of wealth and respect-ability, of Lafayette and vicinity. Relying upon the security, and upon the integrity of the applicant, and desirous of rendering every accommodation in my power, I yielded to his solicitations, and surrendered the bonds amounting, as per statement, to $66,187 50, which have not as yet been retained. I was further influenced to this departure from the rules and custom of the office, by a knowledge of tbe reputable character and con-aection of Mr.

Nexsen, who was regarded as a man of wealth and honor, and who had been but recently elected to the Presidency of the Branch Bank at Bedford. Whether anything will be received from the parties to this fraud, cannot yet he determined. Prompt measures will, however, be taken, either to enforce collectionot theuond, or prevent the trans fer ot tne stocKsthus traiiaulentiy obtained, to accent parties. The circumstance has occasioned me deep regret, but I trust will not eventuate i serious loss to the public. Respectfully submitted, H.E.

Tjie Great California Fraud.

The mosfcin teresting news of the past fortnight from San Fran Cisco Is the exposure ot tne stupendous bimauton- frauds. Jose z. Limantour claimed under an leged Mexican grant, dated 1S43, not only a large part of the county of San Francisco, but half of the city itself. The claim, regarded bv nio-t of the citizens as fraudulent, was confirmed by the late board of land commissioners. Linian tour arrived in.tliis city a few months ago with the purpose of prosecuting his pretended claim, or making compromises with personsholdiug property within the limits of the alleged grant.

He had already received over 90,000 from persons buying up his title. On Wednesday, December 10th, the grand jury of the United States were called together by the Circuit Court, and in an hour after the empannelment foiled an indictment against Liman tour for presenting false papers before the land commission, ua tne next aay, iiimne Liettanneur. his private secretary or amanuensis, was taken be fore the grand jury of the county, and confessed lhat he had forged the alleged Mexican 'grant in 1852, at Jjimantour request, and under his direc tiou. The stupendous frand, which is now looked upon as one of the most atrocious and artful on record, may therefore -De regarded as completely foiled. Limantour yesterday a nabob, to-day witnout credit ana nonor now lies in prison default of 30,000 bail.

The property claimed by L. was valued at Some Things in Pittsborg. Pittsburg has some novel incidents to boast. A destitute woman was taken sick at a boarding house aud had to be sent to the almshouse, but left a trunk in tbe pos session of her former landlady. This trunk was broken open, and robbed.

Meanwhile a newly marriea man made several presents to nis Dride, and among others a piece of goods containing two dress patterns. The generons wife not wanting so many articles herself of the kind, cast about to find an object of charity upon whom to bestow one of the dresses, ilns she iound the unfortunate who had been sent to the almshouse. The woman grate fully received the present, especially as she saw it would correspond with a piece of goods she left in her trunk. But lof on going to compare them, the robbery was discovered, tne bndegioom was accus ed, owned up, and his wife upou discovering bis character, threw not only all nis other presents but his very wedding ring in his face, and disap pcared in a torrent of invective. On Thursday night, two servant girls iD the em plov of E.

A Keokuk paper says that the rent of a littl shanty thereabouts is S500; coal 40 cents; wood 86 to S8; and other articles at the same rates. At Burlington, an editor says, it takes almost every cent a man can raise to buy provisions tor bis tami- ty; consequently ienas no money to pay his debts, aud so we find it in all our exchanges throughout tne west. C. H.Camp, of New Brunswick, N. deserted his wife and eloped with Miss Emma Martin, of jNew lorn a Hw days ago.

Five deaths from this dreaded disease occurred in one family in Jefferson county a few days since. nZTA woman once beautiful but irail, was lately found in the streets of Philadelphia in a Etate of mania potu.

The Telegraphic Cable. Tho editor of the Philadelphia Bulletin has been shown a specimen of the cable which is to connect Newfoundland nud Nova Scotia. The Bulletin says: This cable, which is much heavier than that which is to be carried across from Newfoundland to Ireland, will be about ninety miles long.

A. K. Marshall. Mr. Campbell is the same man who recently expressed his snprem contempt for "manufacturtd rags, oil, and lampblack," ali.is newspapers.

Mr. Rust is the same man whom the Hon. Wm. H. bew-ard eulogised a.s an "honorable gentleman," after his cowardly tack upon Mr.

Horace Greeley, "an editor of a newspaper," to quote the same Senator's chaste and beauiiful English; and Mr. Marshall is the distinguished Representative who was so squeamish lest he shouhl-- exalt the conductors of public journals into undue importance, by noticing them in so elevated a body as the House of Representatives. He is the son of a Kentucky schoolmaster, who, whatever virtues he may possess, seems to have neglected that jndicious discipline of his own which might, have been instrumental in teaching them the manners of civilized life. If is sr id that a duel will grow out of the affair. Pshaw! a duel between cock-robins! And then thr "manufactured rags, oil and lampblack," will be called on to publish tho correspondence to vindicate the unsullied honor of the honorable gent ie-men.

A London writer, in giving description of the sale rooms of Messrs.

Tattersall, in that city, says: The value of the property which passes under the hammers of the Messrs. Tattersall seems immense, when we consider the number of lots put np for sale during the year, and the great prices of some of them. Mamehke sold for four thousand guineas; Bay Middleton realized three thousand five hundred; Plenipo, five tbonsaud; whilst Bix thousand guineas was paid for Hibbie Noble. One may csase to wonder at such prices, says the Birmingham Journal when we find that the Flying Dutchman won his owner nearly 20,000 in stakes alone, and the winnings of himself and his half brother, Van Tromp, who belonged to the same owner, amounted to 34,000.
