Prairie Ltre.--A Tale of Revenge.
Although much has been written of prairie
life, many a wild adventure, and yet many a
wilder scene has been left undescribed Poor
Ruxton, who died at St. Louis, and whose
highly entertaining and valuable work, •• Scenes
in the Far West,” is enriched with many a sto
k ry and scene which no doubt, to the people of
the East, seem like tales from the Arabian
Nights. There is so much originality about
the manner and habits of the trapper and fron
tiersman, that one is struck with their peculiar
language or mode of expressing themselves, as
well as their singular costume. They are. in
fact, as distinct and marked a class as sailors,
and have as many odd and quaint sayings.
It is generally the commission of crime,
some disappointment in life, or a native love of
adventure and peril, that makes these men de
sert the comforts of civilized society for the
wilds and haunts of the red man. We can im
agine the terrible reaction which takes place
when the storm of passion or wreck of disap
pointed hope sweeps over the sensitive soul,
ami leaves a desolation—a ruin of the former
man. it is misfortunes like these which scorch
and dry up the finest feelings—some mortal
wrong or injustice committed by others toward
them, in revenging which they have been com
pelled to leave their homesand become an ex
ile in the Far West.
A story is told of an extraordinary meeting,
and an act of revenge said to have taken place
long years ago, on the fork of the Pawnee.
A parly of four who had been roving for many
years in the West, all strangers to each other,
were one day accidentally thrown together,
when a strange and bloody scene ensued.
These men presented a striking contrast in fea
ture- The youngest was delicately made. wil\
long light hair and blue eyes; his exposure
had given him a rich brown complexion He
was of the medium stature, and made for
strength and agility. There was a dark void
over his features which told that with him the light
of hope had gone out. He was travelling on
a mule, with hts rifle in his gun leather at the
bow of his saddle, when he overtook a man on
foot, with a gun on his shoulder and pistols in
his belt, who was over six feet, and had a deep
wide scar on his right cheek. As day was
drawing to a close, they proposed to camp,
and brought up at the head of the fork of the
Pawnee Shortly after they had camped, a
man was seen reconnoitering them with a rifle
in bis hand, and having satisfied himself that
the sign was friendly, he came moodily into the
camp, and after looking sternly at the two men.
was asked by Se*tr Cheek to “ come to the
ground.” He was a stout, muscular man,
much older than the other two. with a deep,
habitual scowl, long, black, matted hair, and
very unprepossessing features. Some com
mon place remarks were made, but no ques
tions were asked by either party.
It was near twilight when the young man,
who had gathered some buffalo chips to make a
fire to cook with, suddenly perceived a man
approaching them on a mule ; he came steadily
and fearlessly on to the camp. and. casting a
look at the three, said, “look ye far Indians;'*
then glancing at lhe deer-skin dress of the trio,
be observed “ Old leathers—some time out.
eh t” The man was about fifty years old, and
his gray hairs contrasted strangely with his
dark bronzed tealures, upon which care and
misfortune were strongly statu oed. He was
only half clad by lhe miserable skins he wore;
aud as he dismounted. Scar Cheek asked
•• Where Item T” * From the Kaw,” (Kansas)
he replied, throwing down a bundle of otter
skins. After unsaddling aud staking out his
mule, he brought himself to the ground, and
taking his rifle, looked at the priming and sha
king the powder in the pan. he added a few
more grams to it; men placing a piece of thin
dry skin over it, to keep it from the damp, he
shut the pan. The group watched the old
trapper, who seemed not to eotice them, while
Scar Cheek became interested, and showed a
certain uneasiness. He looked towards nis
own rifle, and once or twice loosened the pis
tols in his belt, as if they incommoded him. The
young and lhe stout man with the scowl ex
changed glances, but no word passed. 8o far
no question had been asked as to who the other
; what httle conversation passed was very
heonie, and not a smile had wreathed lhe lip of
*av one of them.
The little supper was eaten in silence, each
J*** 1 seeming to be wrapt in his own thoughts.
t *« agreed that the watch should be divided
equally among the four, each man standing
hoars— the old trapper taking

cannot be he,” he said half aloud; “but ke
time and that scar may have disguised him.
Tha boy, too —it’s strange I feel drawn to
wards him; then that villain with a scowl,”
and the muscles of the old trapper's face work
ed convulsively, which, the moonbeams falling
upon, disclosed traces of a by-gone refinement.
The trapper noiselessly approached lhe sleep
ing men, and, kneeling down, gazed intently
upon the features of each and scanned them
deeply. Walking off, he muttered to himself
again, saying—“ It shall he,” and then judging
by the stars that his watch was up, he approach
ed the young man and woke him, pressing his
finger upon his lip to command silence at the
time, and motioned to him to follow. They
walked off some distance, when the trapper,
taking the young man by the shoulder, turned
his face to the moon-light, and. after gazing
at it wistfully, whispered in his ear, “ Are you
Perry Ward ?” The young man started wildly,
but the trapper prevented his reply, by saying.
“ Enough, enough.” lie then told him that he
was his uncle, and that the man with the scar
was the murderer of his father; and that he
with the scowl had convicted him (the trapper)
of forgery by his false oath. Tne blood de
serted the lips of the young man, and his eyes
glared and dilated almost from their sockets
He squeezed his uncle’s hand, and then, with a
meaning glance as he looked to his rifle, moved
towards the camp. “No, no!” said the old
trapper, “not in cold blood; give them a
chance.” They cautiously returned to the
camp and found both the men in a deep sleep
The uneje and nephew stood over them. Scar
Cheek was breathing hard, when he suddenly
cried out, “I did not murder Perry Ward’”
“ Liar!” said the trapper in a voice of thunder,
and lhe two men bounded to their feet. “ Red
skins about?” asked they in a voice. “No,
worse than red skins,” said the trapper; “liar
ry Ward is about!" and seizing his knife he
plunged it in Scar Cheek's heart. “ Then take
that,” said he with the scowl, and. raising his
rifle, the trapper fell a corpse. With a bound
and a wild cry the young man jumped at the
murderer of his uncle, and with his knife gave
him several fatal wounds. The struggle was a
fearful one, however, and the young man had
also received several bad cuts, when his adver
sary fell from lhe loss of blood and soon after
expired. Thus ended this strange meeting,
and thus were father and uncle revenged.

Maryland State Agricultural Fair*
The great interest now taken in the cause
of Agriculture throughout lhe American re
public, renders whatever pertains to its pro
gress and improvement peculiarly entertaining
to every intelligent reader. Agricultural Fairs
and Cattle Shows are annually increasing in
number and attractions, drawing together for
successive days thousands of Farmers and Plan
ters who, apart from the pleasure afforded by
the exhibitions, return to their homes instruct
ed and benefitted by the contact with the great
brotherhood, and the observation and inspec
tion of lhe various improvements in the im
plements of husbandry and lhe numerous la
bor-saving machines invented for his benefit.
Among the recent exhibitions of this character
that of the Maryland State Society, in the sub
urbs of Baltimore, seems to have been parti
cularly attracting and interesting, so much so
that we cull a few extracts from the American's
notice of it, with which we trust the re n derwill
be as much entertained as we have been. The
Fair continued for three days, the first of which
was employed by the Society in arranging lhe
various articles for exhibition and is thus no
ticed :
“ The arrangements of the grounds for the exhibi
tion have been made on the most extensive scale, and
in their completeness and appropriateness have won
for the gentlemen of the Society under whose super
vision they have been carried out, the highest praise
for the energy and experience which they brought to
the task.
“ Os the exhibition itself, of the various features of
which we shall of course speak in detail, we but echo
the general vo'ce in saying that it is one of the largest,
most extensive, and most varied that has ever been
held in thh couutry. In the superior character and
variety of stock exhibited, we have been assured by
those who visited lhe late State Fair at Syracuse, N.
York, that our own bears off the palm—an acknowl
edgment which is most gratifying, and which goes
to show how much can be accomplished, in oven a
short time, by the well directed efforts of those who
are earnest in tlto execution of what they take in
hand.
“ If the idea had been thrown out two years ago,
before the organization of the Stalo Society, that such
an exhibition could be got up in Maryland, how very
lew would have given credit to its possibility. To
the founders and supporters of that Society is due, in a
great measure, the credit of lhe results which have
already been achieved, as well as of those which may
be expected to follow from the present awakened feel
ing in regard to agricultural interests which pervades
lhe State.
“During the morning the Fair was honored by the
presence of President Taylor, who spent several houts
in visiting all parts of the grounds and examining with
great interest the herds ol fine stock, agricultural pro
ductions, implements, &c. He expressed the high
est gratification at the display, and by the inquiries
and remarks which he made, showed the active con
cern and interest which he takes in all that appertains
to agricultural pursuits. The visit of the President
was |<aid in the most unostentatious manner, and with
out any show or parade. Accompanied by several of
the members of the Committee appointed t>y lhe So
ciety to receive him, he made the tour of the grounds
unrecognised by hundreds, who saw nothing in the
group of gentlemen of which tic formed one, to dis
tinguish it from the many similar groups which were
moving about.”
Tho notice of this day’s proceedings is con
cluded by a long list of cattle, sheep, swine,
horses and poultry deposited for exhibition,
which we should be pleased, if our space per
mitted, io give, just to show our agricultural
friends its extent. But we must pass on to lhe
second day, which was the first day it was opon
ed to lhe public, when, lhe American says:
“ It was visited by an immense concourse of per
sons ; no exhibition of the kind which has ever taken
place among us before having excited a litho of the
interest which was manifested in regard to this. Dur
ing the whole day the road between the city and the
exhibition grounds was thronged with private car
riages, omni busses, hacks and vehicles of every des
cription, all fully laden with those who were either
going to or returning from the great point of attrac
tion.
“ Inside of the enclosure the scene was animated
and attractive in the extreme. Every part of the
extensive groumls w.it thronged with ladies and gen
tlemen, comprising not only very many of our most
respectable citizens, but those also of various sections
of Maryland and the adjacent parts of Virginia, Penn
sylvania and Delaware. The presence of enlarge a
number of ladies imparted additional interest and ani
mation to the scene.
“ The great attraction of the day—the Ploughing
Match—took place on a fine level piece of ground ad
jacent to the enclosure. The ground was an oblong
square and was marked out by a furrow running
around it ; furrows ah*» being drawn through it to
divide it into lhe portions to which each ploughman
was confined. Noone was admitted within the lines
except the members of lhe Committee on Ploughing,
and the mounted Marshals, who were appointed to
keep order.
“Just previous to the commencement of lhe Plough
ing Match, President Taylor arrived accompanied by
the Committee of Reception appointed by the Socie
ty, and was escorted within lhe lines. The plough
ing iben commenced and was continued until the
whole of the ground selected had been gone over.
The contest was quite spirited, and the work perform
ed by lhe ploughmen was admitted on all hands to be
most excellent The match was viewed by a large
number of spectators, who preserved lhe best order
throughout.”
Tbjre were fourteen entries in the plough
ing match, with their varied and different im
plements, which equally tested the excellence
of lhe plows and the skill of the plowmen.
The moat important and instructive portion
of the exhibition, the report of which we give
entire, was the display of Agricultural imple
ments :
Aoatctn.Tvaar. Implements. —The display in ibis
department is both large and varied, embracing many
new and valuable machines and improvements, in
addition to an almost endless collection of the imple
ments in ordinary use. Our space will allow us but
to refer briefly to some of the principal deposits.
Messrs. R. J. Sinclair. Jr. & Co., of Baltimore,
occupy a large space on the grounds and make quite
an effective display. Among their principal articles
we note their patent h.we-p>wer threshing machine,
gnst mill, Virginia corn-sheller, horse-power drilling
machine, a vaneiy of single and double horse-powers
of different constructions ; together with all the differ
ent varieties of plows, straw cutters, and ocher ar
ticles.
Mr. Ezra Whitman, Jr., of Rs'*.l.«tore, is also one
of the principal contributors in this department. He
has oa the ground his own patent wrought iron rail
way single and doable borsa-power; his unproved
corn shelter; and F._ W. Whitman's patent separa
tor; with a variety of horse power and other machines
and implements, which those who wish to see what is
new and improved will do well to examine.
Messrs. M ixheld, Mott Jt Co., of Baltimore, also
exhibit a collection of horse-powers, threshing ma
chine*, cultivators, harrows, plows, an J other similar
articles.
U Hussey, of Baltimore, has on the ground one of
hie improved reapers, which attracts much
attention from Agriculturists.
Leonard Smith, of Troy, N. Y., exhibits one of his
patent ventilating smut machines operating pintly on
the severing, rubbing, blowing and beating principles.
The machine was awarded a silver medal at the late
fair at Syracuse, New York.
Messrs. Murray A Clark, ol Baltimore, exhibit
corn and cob crushers, farming urillt, and a variety
of implements and machinery of their own make, ail
of which will repay an examination.
Geo. Page,of Baltimore, exhibits one of his grist mills
in operation; driven by a horse paw er of his own in
vention ; ami also prairie pump, com planter, thresh
ing machine, planting machine, Ac. He is also
putting in operation one of his patent wind mills,
similar to that which has been exhibited at Wash
ington Halt
John Ram borough, of Lancaster, Pa., exhibits
several of his improved patent grain fans and separ
ators.
C. H. Hoary, of Baltimore, exhibits a variety of
implements, a.n.vjg which we may note—threshing
machmea, hors 2 power grist mill, doable hopper cam
shelter. 1 hww power, * hw. tans, plows, Ac.
la rdalwt to the display of agrcultural impte-
ments, it should be mentioned that much additional
interest is given to it by most of the larger machines
being kept in operation, from being furnished by the
many different horse powers which are in motion.
This department of lhe exhibition is, on this account,
one of its most attractive features.
There was also a splendid display of fruits,
vegetables, flowers, and household manufac
tures. The latter displaying the great taste
and skill of the ladies with most happy effect
Indeed, everything in any way connected with
agriculture, or the products of the skillful
housewife, was to be seen in great variety.
But we must cut short our clippings, with the
following, which will make the mouth of every
lover of good mutton water:
Slaughtered Mutton.—Under this head, C. B.
Reybold, of Delaware, exhibits the carcase of an
Oxfordshire fat wether, raided by himself’and weigh
ing on the hoof 276 pounds. This specimen of mut
ton attracts much attention from lhe best judges, as it
is doubtful whether a finer article has ever been ex
hibited for competition.
Very Superior Stock*
We had the pleasure yesterday of looking
at four splendid Cotswold Sheep, one Buck
and three Ewes, and two very superior Pigs,
the property of Richard Peters, Jr., enroute
from Philadelphia to his farm in Cass county.
They were all in excellent condition, and are
the finest specimens we have seen. We con
gratulate Mr. P. on his success in procuring
such valuable stock; and the citizens of Cass
may well rejoice that his enterprise is likely to
confer such benefits on them. If every coun
ty in Georgia could boast a few such men, her
progress in the great cause of improvement
would be onward—aye, onward with a giant’s
stride.
EF’The Manchester (N. II.) Democrat says
that “ The strongholds of Southern Whiggery
are in regions where a large portion of lhe
population cannot read or write.”
The stronghold of Southern Whiggery may
be in such regions, but that class of voters are
seldom found voting Whig tickets.
Canadian Annexation.—The Montreal
Herald, an able and influential paper, is most
vehement in its advocacy of Canadian annex
ation to the United States. The New York
papers contain a long address to the people of
Canada, signed by upwards of three hundred
citizens of Montreal in favor of immediate an
nexation.

The Kingdom of Mosquito.
The claim of the British Government to a
right of control over the country known as
the Mosquito Coast is dated as far back as the
reign of Charles the Second. It is alleged
that some time after the conquest of Jamaica,
the Mosquito King and his chiefs placed them
selves under the protection of England, and
that the Governor of Jamaica in the name of
his sovereign accepted this proffer and pro
mised them the royal protection
It is further stated that in 1749 a fort was
erected by a British force from Jamaica and
the royal flag hoisted, “thus making a formal
publication to the world and to the crown of
Spain that the independent country of the
coast was under the direct sovereignty and
protection of Great Britain.” This assumption
is placed upon the ground that the Mosquito
nation was never subjugated by Spain ; that it
had always retained its independent character
that since the downfall of Montezuma the
tribes under the Mosquito Kings have had a
recognized territory pertaining to themselves,
and governed by laws administered by their
own hereditary rulers.
Now this Mosquito country is included with
in the limits of the Slate of Nicaragua, which
teas never recognised any such Kingdom as
that of Mosquito. If the wild savages inhabit
ing the Mosquito Coast have been allowed to
roam at will through that region it has been
somewhat after the fashion of the Seminoles in
Florida—the country not being attractive
enough to draw to it any other occupants
The Government of Nicaragua regards the
British intervention and claim in some such
light as we would regard a' treaty between
Victoria and Billy Bowlegs, by which Billy
should undertake to put himself and his people
under ttie royal protection of England.
The occasion which has brought this matter
to the notice of our Government is simply
this: The State of Nicaragua has granted to
an American company the privilege of open
ing a communication between the Atlantic and
the Pacific by the route of the San Juan river
and the Lake Nicaragua This faci having
become known, the Bmish Consul at N. York
gave notice to the Nicaragua Company that
Great Britain had certain rights of sovereignty
over the territory through which their pro
jected route lay ; that the Mosquito country
was under British protection; and that he was
instructed to inform the company that the boun
dary line of the Mosquito Kingdom touches
the St. John’s river at Lake Nicaragua, and
that from thence to the mouth of the St. John’s
the navigation of that river belongs to Mos
quito.”
The British Consul goes on further to in
form the Company that the port of St. John’s
now caWed Grey Town, at which they have a
greed with the Nicaragua Government to build
a store, also belongs to Mosquito; that her
Majesty's Government is bound to protect the
King of Mosquito in the exercise of the terri
torial rights which he possesses over Grey
Town and over the lower part of the St. John's
river; and that the government of Nicaragua
“has entered into an agreement in regard to
places where it has no competence ”
We have never learned how it happened
that the official announcement of these claims
on the part of the British Government came
from a Consul and not from a diplomatic rep
resentative of that Government. The claims
themselves, extraordinary in tneir own nature,
invoke a question of sovereignty which it does
not belong to consular functions to discuss
Il is said, however, that the subject has brought
on some correspondence between the Stale
Department at Washington and the British
Government.
To give color to the pretentions of Great
Britain in this affair it seems that a few years
ago, probably in 1841, the ceremony of crown
ing a King of Mosquito was performed at the
British settlement at Balize. A poor farce it
was—but it is likely to become a serious business
enough if the claims advanced by the British
Consul are to be seriously pressed by his Gov
ernment. The object is suflicienily plain. It is
to exclude Americans from the possession of
the Nicaragua route and to hold it in British
hands.
Since the above article was written, late and
interesting accounts have been received from
Nicaragua, which are thus noted in the N. Y.
Conner :
We have files of the Correo del Isthmo,
published at Leon in Nicaragua, down to the
16lh of August. The arrival of Mr. Squier,
as M inister from the United States, seems to
have been regarded as an event of remarkable
importance. It is heralded in all the journals
as a new era for Nicaragua, and he entered the
city amid discharges of cannon, martial music
and the most tumultuous and enthusiastic re
joicing. On being presented to the President,
Mr. Squier made a long address, tendering his
thanks for the warmth of his reception and as
soring him that these sentiments are fully reci
procated, and that it is the earnest desire of
the Government of the United States to culti
vate in every way the most cordial relations
with the Republic of Nicaragua. He assures
him, further, that it shall be his aim to confirm
the present harmony between the two Repub
lics, —“and to this end, and to secure the per
manent welfare of both, it is essential that they
should pursue a system of policy exclusively
American ” He proceeded as follows :
A cardinal principle in this policy is a total exclu
sion of foreign influence, from the domestic and inter
national affairs of the American Republics. And
while we would cultivate friendly intercourse, and
promote trade and commerce with all the world, and
invite to our shores and to the enjoyment of our insti
tutions the people of all nations, we should proclaim
in language firm and distinct, that the American Con
tinent belongs to Americans t and is sacred to Re
publican Freedom. We should also let it be under
stood, that if foreign powers encroach upon the terri
tories, or invade the rights of any of the American
States, they inflict an injury upon all, which it is the
duty and determination of all to see redressed.
Sen or Director ! Providence has peculiarly favor
en the country of which you are the worthy Chief
Executive. I have passed through your territories,
from the Atlantic ocean, along your rivers and mag
nificent lakes, along the bases of your lofty mountains,
and over your broad and beautiful plains, until the
wide expanse of the Pacific opens before roe, and 1
can aliuoM hear the round of its waves as they break
upon your western shores. At every step! have been
deeply impressed with the capabilities of the country
and the vastness of its internal resources. I have
seen also, with pleasure, the many evidences of in
dustry and civilization which exist within your bor
ders, and 1 have been led to indulge the belief that
the time is not far distant, when the commerce of
two hemispheres shall find within your territories an
easy passage from sea to sea. It is one of the objects
of my mission to assist in an enterprise so impor
tant to the whole world ; an enterprise, the success
ful prosecution of which must enable this country to
attain a degree of prosperity second to that of no other
on the globe. With your cordial cooperation, (of
which I am well assured.) and of that of the citizens
of this Republic, I hope soon to have it in my power
to announce to my government that the initiatives to
this grand, gloitous enterprise have already been
taken.
He closed bv expressing his regret to find
the country afflicted by civil commotions, and
expressed the hope that all her people would
unite in an earnest endeavor to restore peace
to the State.
'The President's reply to this address was as
follows:
Str .‘—The satisfaction which 1 experience in hav
ing the honor of receiving far the first time a represen
tative of the Republic of North America, is only
equalled by the good desires and high hopes with
which lam animated. The gratitude with which
your words have inspired me. the extraordinary in
terventions of yew Government under the circum
stances with which Nicaragua is surrounded, impede
on me the agreeable duty of returning thanks to Di
v.oe Providence for its k:ud favors.
Nicaragua has long fait the necessity of shelter;ae
itself under the bright banner of the North American
Confederacy ; but the time which the Arbiter of ni
trons had designated tor such high happiness? and fu
ture prosperity had not arrived. Before we di»pare ti
ed a Legation to the Minister of Gautemala. and
even before a treaty relative to a canal was entered
>a to with Ikctor Brown, a citizen of your Republic,
we had made some advances to the American Govern
mem with a view to this happy consummation ; but
our were scarcely sustained by the result. But
I now see alltbe elements of a happy future breaght
befere us: there is grssl Uilh in theG Kivernment with
which I ata eenaeeted; the friendlier feelings to
wards North America pervades every Nwanuruan
heart; and we hare the assurances ot the svtnpalby
and support of the American fnivernment. We have
coMequentlv all things are dem » make aratlable
’ the advantages with which Heaven has surrounded
us. Our State, e msidering its geographical poaiiion,
! ought to be the most prosperous in Spanish America,
but our inexperience at the time of. our separation
from Spain; our limited resources and the civil com
motions that have intervened, have retarded the hap
py day which is now dawning upon us. lam cer
tain that the Government which you represent can
appreciate the difficulties which have surrounded our
Republic. Your Excellency being able properly to
estimate these circumstances, must already have
formed a just idea of this part of Central America, and
of the position of its Government. Believing, there
fore, that lhe best intentions exist upon your part to
wards us, as I know there is the happiest disposition
on ours, I entertain no doubt that we shall succeed in
establishing the most, intimate relations between the
two Republics, and in opening the way to lhe most
glorious enterprise which has been reserved for the
successors of the immortal Washington. I shall have
the greatest pleasure in being able to contribute my
humble share towards the happiness of Nicaragua,
and in congratulating you, in behalf of your Govern
ment, for your co-operation in so glorious an enter
prise.
Let us begin, most excellent sir, let us begin this
i great work under these bright auspices, and we shall
I be sure of obtaining the best results. The people of
! the two American Continents are contemplating us;
! it is possible that future generations shall cherish our
memory: at least we shall have the conscious satisfac
tion of having neglected no means, omitted no sacri
fice, in securing the grand object so ardently desired
by two sister Republics, determined mutually to sus
tain their interests; their honor and (heir integrity.
The official documents concerning Mr. S. s
mission are published in the papers, but are
merely formal and only furnish evidence of
the extreme interest felt in his mission. It is
easy to perceive that the position taken by
Great Britain in regard to the Mosquito ques
tion. and the anticipated action of our Govern
inent upon it, have excited the deepest interes
among lhe people of Nicaragua. The papers
discuss the question at length, and protest in
most earnest tones against the course pursued
by the English Government.
The occupation of the port of San Juan by
the English under the pretence of protecting the
Mosquito nation, is denounced a« an outrage
upon the rights of the Stale of Nicaragua and
the English are very freely branded as pirates,
banditsand corsairs.
The papers contain a correspondence be
tween the authorities of Nicaragua and the
British Consul General, Frederick Chatfield,
in which the former states that, having read in
the Correo del Isthmo a copy of the contract
between the Government and Dr. Brown of
New York, for making a canal through the ri
ver San Juan, he deems it prudent to inform
the Government that his own Government
will object to any arrangement which does not
provide for the discharge of the debts which
the State of Nicaragua, in common with the
other Stales of Central America, have assumed.
The Nicaraguan Minister in reply to this as
well as other notes, charges the British Gov
ernment with the most wanton and unprovo
ked assault upon the sovereignty and inde
pendence of the State, and enumerates vari
ous acts by which this hostility has been mani
Tested. Foremost among them of course is
the declaration, that the Queen of Great Bri
tain has decided to sustain the pretensions of
the Mosquito King, and that she would conse
quently visit with severe punishment any act
of the State Nicaragua in violation of them.
The threat to chastise any nation for maintain
ing its sovereignty, is denounced as an unex
ampled violation of justice and international
rights. The correspondence is long and spi
rited—but the purport of the whole of it may
be gathered from this summary.
A decree has been issued by the President,
stating that inasmuch as David L. White had
presented to the Supreme Government ample
powers on behalf of various persons in the U.
States, to contract for the opening of a grand
Ship Canal, Commissioners were appointed
with full power to conclude an arrangement
with i»lr. White to shorten maritime commu
nication across the Isthmus on the basis of lhe
previous agreement with Dr. Brown.
The New York Tribune has the following
letter dated,
Leon de Nicaragua, Sept. 14, 1849.
A large number of contracts have heretofore been
made for the great inter-oceanic Canal, among which
is one with Aaron F. Palmer of New York, another,
with the late King of Hofland, and another, still later,
with Louis Napoleon, now President of the French
Republic. But none seemed to have secured any
considerable amount of public confidence, nor was
anything done under them.
A contract bas now been made, under a fortunate
conjunction of circumstances, which is likely to be
carried into execution. At any rate wc may infer
so from the names of the men composing the Compa
ny, at the head of which stands Cornelius W. Van
derbilt of New York. The terms are far more fa
vorable, both to Nicaragua and the company, than
those of any previous contract.
It is obtained for 97 years, with a further extent
for 20 years, and secures to the company the right to
construct a ship canal or railroad, or to improve the
present means of conveyance, (one or all,) as they
may think proper. I have no doubt lhe Company
will proceed at once to improve the present means of
transit ; in which case lhis will prove a formidable
rival to the Panami route.
It is understood that a most important treaty has
just been concluded between the American Minister,
Mr. Squier, and this Government, embracing some
provisions concerning the proposed Canal. It is pro
bably m ire favorable to our interests than any which
has yet been negotiated with any of lhe American
States.
•* Indigo— A curious fact." — The South Car
olinian says : We are surprised to see lhe fol
lowing paragraph, with the above caption, go
ing the rounds of the South Carolina papers,
without comment or contradiction:
“ The Indigo plant was a native of South
Carolina. It grew spontaneously among its
weeds and woods. More than one hundred
years ago the planters there commenced its
cultivation, in the year 1748, South Carolina
exported to Great Britain 200,000 pounds, and
rhe Parliament granted a bouty of 12 cents per
pound, to induce its greater cultivation. In
1757, when that ordinance was passed, Indigo
was one of the staples of South Carolina, and
we believe, of Georgia also. Now, in 1849. not
a single pound of Indigo is raisedin South Car
olina, or, so far as we know, in all the South !
A plant which is indigenous to lhe region, and
which, in its early cultivation, was exceedingly
profitable, has been driven from existence by
the cheap labor of India. Great Britain now
pays seven millions ofdollars a year for Indigo
raised in India!”
“ We dislike spoiling whoever “curiosity”
may be in the above “fact.” Not a single
pound of Indigo raised in South Carolina!
We know of one merchant, this week, buying
three hundred pounds of it, raised in a neigh
boring district; and we learn it is brought into
this market every week, and that lhe supply is
increasing rather than diminishing. We un
derstand that more attention, probably, is given
to its cultivation now than for some years past.
We venture to say that in every inland town
in the State, and in every country store, there
can he found a regular supply of South Car
olina Indigo.”
Republican Shot.—Letters have been
received by the relatives of Mr. Faber, well
known as a resident of Cincinnati, confirming
the rumor of his having been publicly execu
ted in Germany by order of the Government,
for giving utterance to republican doctrines.
Snow.—The hills in lhe vicinity of Norway
and Paris Me. were covered with snow on
Monday morning, and the ground below was
thickly covered with a wintry sheet. The
Great and little Monadnoc.in New Hampshire,
were also covered with snow, apparently to a
considerable depth.
Col. Preston —We are gratified to learn
that this gentleman has returned in better

Dr. WistaFs Balsam of Wild Cherry.— \l was
known many years ago that the wild cherry tree of
this climate possessed valuable medicinal properties.
Indeed this fact was known to the Aborigines, and a
decoction of the leaves or bark ol this tree Ims even
been regarded by their physicians, as one of the most
effectual remedies in many diseases. Thia fact, sev
eral years since, arrested the attention ®f Dr. Wistar,
a highly respectable practitioner. He investigated
with care the healing properties of the wild cherry
tested its effects when administered alone, and when
in combination with other remedial agents. He found
tliat its natural virtues might be greatly improved,
and by combining it with ingredients, whose proper
ties were well proved and generally organized, a
medicine was produced which constitutes a remedy
of great value in pulmonary affect ions and diseases of
the chest and throat—diseases which are proverbially
prevalent in our cities and large towns, and often
prove fatal, swelling the bills of mortality to a much
greater extent than is the case with most other, we
ha<i almost said all other classes of diseases.

AVGUSTA MARKET.
Weekly Report,Tuesday P. M.
COTTON.—The market during the early part of
the week closing to day was with a spirited
demand at very full prices. On Saturday, however,
lhe foreign news depressed the market and nothing
was done. Yesterday and to-day there has been a
limited demand and prices have given way j a jc.
from the rates current previous to the receipt of the
late foreign news. Prices of new Cotton to-day range
from 9f to 101 cents, extremes ; principal sales 10 a
10J cents. The sales of lhe week sum up 4,059 bales
as follows: lat 9; 2at9} ; 13 at 9J ; 16 at 9f ; 92

and 105 bales at lOf cents.
We again omit our tables of receipts, stocks &c. —
remarking that the receipts are light in all the mar
kets, and the stocks of course are not increasing ra
pidly.
THE GENERAL of life week among
our merchants has been quite active in almost every
department, and a very fair business has been done.
CORN.—The operations are confined almost ex
clusively to the city trade for home consumption ;
prices are unchanged.
BACON.—The supply is fully equal to the de
mand and former prices are barely maintained.
FLOUR.—The supply of country is very limited
at $6.75 to S7 per bbl,; Canal at $7.25 tos9, accord
ing to quantity and quality.
GROCERIES.—Sugars are firm at farmer prices.
Coffees looking up. Molasses steady.
BAGGING AND ROPE continue in fair demand
at full prices.
SALT.—No change in rates—Sack $1.40 a 81.50
from store.
FREIGHTS.—The river is still very low, and
goods only reach the wharves by the aid of lighters.

SAVANNAH, Oct. 10.— Cotton.— Arrived since
the 3d instant, 2,674 bales Upland and 7 do. Sea
Island. (936 from Augusta, 1,722 oer Railroad, nnd
16 per wagons.) The exports for the -ame period
have been 1.897 bales Upland, viz : to New York
1,176 biles Upland; to Boston 483 do., to Philadel
phia 201 bales do, and to Charleston 32 bales do.—
leaving on hand and on shipboard not cleared, a
stock of 7,044 bales Upland and 359 do. Sea Island,
against 9,515 bales Upland and 1,087 do. Sea Island
at same time last year.
When we closed our last weekly report prices were
firm, and there was apparently an upward tendency
in the market. This firmness was maintained until
Ihursday evening, when we had one week’s later
telegraphic advices from Europe by the Canada.
The Liverpool quotations were the same as previously
reported, viz : sjd for fair Upland and Mobile, and
s|d for fair Orleans. The sales of the week at Liv
erpool were only 28,200 bales, and as this was some
8,000 bales less than in the previous week, our mar
ket was slightly depressed on Friday and Saturday.
On Monday, however, prices rallied again and lhe
sales on that day and yesterday were up to our last
quotations. Some sellers contend that they obtained
yesterday tho full prices of last week. The stock on
sale is very light, and to fill particular orders buyers
in some cases have to give any price asked, and in
consequence of this irregularity we are unable to give
any quotations that would be satisfactory to buyers
and sellers.
The sales of Upland for the week amounting to
1,460 bales, are as follows : 13 at 9}; 9 at 9s; 33 at
9} ; 92 at 9J ; 94 at 10; 73 at 10} ; 182 nt 10} ; 88

CHARLESTON, Oct. 12.—Our market remains
without much animation, the operations in trade with
the exception of a few articles having been confined
to a very narrow compass. There have been no ma
terial changes since our former report in prices.—
Cotton, it will be seen, continues at the maximum
rate of the previous week, while Rice has rather de
preciated in value. The Sugar market has been
quiet, but prices are firm.
Colton. — At the time we closed our inquiries, pre
paratory to the publication of our report of the sth
inst., the market was very firm, with Pair at lOjc.
Since that period the article has attracted a good deal
of attention, and notwithstanding there have been
days when the market may be said to have been
quiet, the operations on the whole have been, com
paratively speaking, heavy, they having exceeded
those of any previous week since the cotnmeneemt nt
of the season. The first two days of the week un
der review—Friday and Saturday—passed off quiet
ly, the transactions on the first day having been con
fined to rOO, and on the latter to 280 bales. Al
though the s ties were light, the prices current at the
close of the preceding week were well maintained.
M'Te activity prevailed on Monday, as upwards < f
900 bales were sold on that day, and on Tuesday the
sales increased to near 1300 bales. The ar icle con
tinued to grow in favor as the week advanced, 1500
bales having changed hands on Wednesday, and ve
ry nearly an equal amount yesterday. The aggre
gate sales of the week reach 5,943 bales, besides
which a contract was entered into cn Saturday Last
for the delivery of 1,000 tales at 10 13-16ths, about
700 of which had been received when we closed our
report, which we have incorporated in the subjoined
sales. Prices were stiff towards the close of the
week, and there was occasionally a preponderance in
favor of the seller, without, however, producing any
decided change in prices, and the quotations of 10{c
for fair mav still be considered a fair criterion of the
market The tranaiactions, it will be seen, have run
principally on the better quahti'?*- The receipts since
our last reach 5.512 bales, and the sales in the s.tme
time comprise 19 bales at 9, 9 at 9J. 14 at 9|, 6 at
