For tU Ck/onicU <t Sentiiul.
Boh. A. E. Stfhheh. —Mb : I presume that eve
ry member o{ the Grand Sanhedrim of Democracy,
(aluu, the piebald party,) frrm its High Priest,
through every grade of its clergy, down to the
laity, haa been chanting anthems of gratulation at
its ruppoui happy deliverance from the evils en
gendered by the sentiments enumerated in your
famoyu City Hull apeech. I further presume that
many a hearty chuckle has been enjoyed by your
new allies, at the fancitdly murderous effect of
your call npon me for the passages in your speech
to which I chose to attribute tendencies so mis
chievous. I was nrepared for much more than I
have imagined, and, s* the same time, as, like
yourself, I had private m-tters requiring my atten
tion, I bad no intention of being harried on a sub
ject that could not spoil with a little keeping. In
deed, I deemed it rather pruaant tc allow the in
flammation caused by yoor speeon to s lbside, in
order to consider it the more calmly. Again, Ido
not think your friends had any right lo expect an
earlier enawei from me, when yon, their great ex
emplar, have not yet answered two plain interrog
atories which I propounded to you some days an
terior to the article of which this is a continuation.
I Btill think that as soon as you shall have ascer
tained precisely where you stand with regard tothe
two political parties of the Stale, you will then
{ only be prepared to giveanunequivo al answer to ,
those queries. Pe’sccaily, I have no interest in
the matter. If yon beretorned to Congress, I shall
be Bslisfled that you will represent me truly. Yet,
I must say, you will appear sadly out of place, to
be found “cheek by jowl” with such men as Mar
cy, Dix, Cushing, the Van Burens and Buffalo
Platform men—men whom you have hitherto de
nounced and should continue to denounce as in
imical to the South. For thiß reason, as you have
abandoned the only truly national party—the party
that eschews all these meu and tbe adherents every
whore —l would prefer seeing you superseded by
one wholly freod from such party associations.—
That you could be corrupted by them, I have not
the remotest idea. That you could not approach
them with the same Bhow of reasou or confidence
of success, as another, not allied to them by party
tios could, you yourself will scarcely deny.
I rfaall now proceed, without further exordium,
to Oft-U your attention to & few only, of the obnox
ious b&s.sageH in your speech, indicating by qaota
tion marks the words omitted In the pamphlet
speech, which I have before me. I have taken the
pains to submit them to a few of our citiaons, who
have certified, under their proper signatures, that
I have given your remarks correctly ; and although
I stated the use 1 desired to make of their certifi
cato, I have concluded that it would answer the
pu> poee of the prt sent inquiry to leave the original
with the editor of the Chroniclt dt &entirui, open
to your inapection, should any doubt of the fact of
my baviDg it arise in your mind. I dare not aus
poet, however, that you wiU entertain any euoh
doubt. Hero follow the extracts:
1. We have been associated with the Jacobins
of revolutionary France. Page 8, 001. 1.
2. We are charged with being an organisation
of liars, “making Truth a by-word and a reproach,
violating the very first principles of the Deca
logue.” Our Protestant clergymen, even, are
accused of countenancing the enormous sin of
lying. Page 4, cols. 1 and 2.
S. We are charged with being secrot conspira
tors, else, “why meet in secret conclave, like
Demons in Pandemonium I” Page 4, col. 2.
4. Wo are charged with being revolutionists,
traitors, and instigators to civil war. Page 6, col. 1.
5. Wo are charged with provoking foreigners
and Roman Catholics to fight; “if I were proscrib
ed on acoount of my religious views and opinions,
as the Roman C*tholics are, by this secret order,
I would fight , rieuT, FIGHT 1” Page 5, col. t.
Now, that the time and occasion are pasaed, I
pray you to review tho above language, coolly and
calmly ; and in order to arrive at a proper estimate
of its force and effect, it would be better for you to
imagine it as proceeding from another than yourself.
Suppose, for example, the paities represented by
you and me, in this ii stance, to be changed. You
oould then have no selfish bias resting on your
mind. Were yout> hear me addressing such
language, in a public place, to a large assemblage
of my fellow citiaens, native and foreign, you
would, 1 think, be strongly tempted to charaterise
it as, at least, seditious. 1 have no doubt that
many of your hearers took this view of it, hud
nothing olse than their respect for your character
and position prevented them from expressing
their disapprobation. I have learned from reliable
authority th*t O’Je of your most Influential sup-
porters in the present canvass, was hrard to
express his deep regret at it; and as the depth of
oar feelings is sometimes measured by the cur
rency of the country, his language was : “I would
not have had that speech delivered for live hun*
dred dollars.’ 1 The remark goes very far to prove
what 1 now argue, that all your speeches have
giveu an improper turn to the measures of public
policy, now discussed before the people. 1 shall
attempt to maintain this position in the course of
this article.
I have witnessed many political canvasses, all of
them more or less seasoned with exacerbations of
feeling. In saying that the one now in progress
throughout the Union, is pre eminently remarka
ble, on the part of our opponents, with few excep
tions, for its coarseness and brutality, its lack of
truth and justice, I do not think I exaggerate. Not
to ex'end my remarks, by citing examples of the
course of editors and public orators in other
States, 1 confine myself to Georgia.
Whenever wo are invited to hear a public ad
dress, we go with a conviction, that the ppeakor
will deliver what he believes to be his well settled
Benliments. No sane mind will deDy an axiom
in morals, any sooner than one in physics. You
will permit me, then, to say to the American
party, composed, as it mainly is, of the people,
par <&c*lUnce—m*xi who are heartily sick and
tired of being sold, and chained to the car of party
leaders, as they have been bl co 1850, that it is
Jacooinical in its professions and practices. For
if you compare us with that odious party, it must
be because you believe we possess its attributes.
You should have enlightened our ignorance by
informing us that tee Jacobins were those who
were guilty of the most sanguinary atrocities
daring the French Revolution of 1789—causing
princes, nobles and others to be arraigned before
the tribunal upon fiietitions accusations, and after a
sort of mock trial and condemnation, harried to the
guillotine. Under thtir bloody rule, consanguinity
afforded no protection. A Jacobin son would
denounce his father. In this way, you should
havo explained your meaning to your feilow-citi
zens, and thon completed your analogy by show
ing up similar deeds, eitf er meditated or perpe-
trated by the American party.
You will permit me too, to remind the mem
bers of the American party, that because they
deny being Know Nothings, you stigmatise them
with the opprobious and ignominious epithet,
liars. The Protestant Clergy, even, are not ex
cepted from the sweeping denunciation. They
are recommended to appoint a day in which they
will all unite in preaching from the tex fc , “ What
ia Tru’h I” The impression has gone abroad, that
in Warrentou, you pronounced the church to oe
a sanolnary of lies. This is, certainly, a harsh
remark, which I do not believe you made, yet,
whou such things are published, it is difficult to
disabuse every mind that hears them, of wrong
imprefesions, even though they were conceived
and circulated ia malice. Now, I ask you in all
candor, suppose we lie, (which we do not,) in de
nying ourselvee to be Know Nothings, is it the
crime implied in that term, and of sufficient mag
nitude to justify you in lfending ua with the
odious mark you have placed upon us f I venture
the remark that you would have resented the in
sult, though offered in a public speech, as it was,
i naa public a manner. Let me assure you, that
by that langutge, you inflicted a sting upon many
of your beat friends, which will not soon cease
smarting; and they will resent it by casting their
votes for another, who, it is to be hoped, will not
be so prompt, for imaginary crimes, to forget and
denounce those who may sustain and honor him.
Passing over the several charges of being secret
conspirators, (against our own government!) re
volutionists, traitors and instigators to civil war,
enough, in all conscience, if they were true, to
harg every one of us. I come to the topmost round
of the climax. You did more in the time you were
uttering the words embraoed in the fifth clause of
my specifications, to excite the prejudices, inflame
the passions and interrupt the loyalty of our
foreign citizens, than you can ever undo. I trust
you wiU undertake to close, if poss.ble, the breach
you have opened. Before your speech, nobody
dreamed about assigning to the American Tarty,
an attitude of hoatiiity to any class of American
cit aans. We avowed, that among our principles,
was one excluding foreigners and Roman Catho
lics from the tenure of any political office, for rea
sons which we believe to be good and safficient,
and upon that issue, the canvass might have been
conducted as honorably and peaceably aa other
canvasses have been. Instead of that, you sug
gest proscription, (a charge we continue to repel)
and its remedy, fighting. Just look, for a moment,
at the magnitude and force of the suggeadon. You
are, 1 doubt|not, familiar with the impulses that con
trol a mixed multitude. Heated, as they must
somewhat have been, by what you had already
said of ihe American Party, you surprise them
with tbe unexpected and overwhelming sentence,
delivered with intentive energy, that, under cer
tain conditions, therein expressed, you would fight.
I ca\ not aay what the consequences would have
been, had the trial been made, but my firm belief
is, that if any one had presumed to answer you,
on that evening, there would have been trouble. I
*rn to make the remark, from the exhibitions
on the evening that Judge Cone addressed our
citizens. If the American Party had been, then,
disposed to resent the affront offered their speaker,
the results would, quite probably, havo been very
serious.
1 have much more to esy, about the manner in
which you are conducting the present canvass,
but lest I should weary my readers, 1 shall close
foe the pretest, Ouk>»»b.
For the ChronieU 1 1 imtxtul.
Brow Dion —Know Nothing.—A parallel.
Since the publication of Brow Deon’s letter, de
fining tne “conscience obligation” of the Boman
Catholics to the Pop", the Know Nothings have
been rejoicing and claim it an ample vindication
of the chargee which they have made against the
Himsn Catholics. Now, without offering any
apology for Brown-on’s letter, (for it breathes a
spirit, in my humble judgment, most dangerous
to our republican institutions and to liberty every
where,} I propose to draw a parallel, and see how
far the Know Nothings are vulnerable to a similar
cnarge. Grant it then, for augument’a Bake, that
if the Pope orders the Catholics in the United
states to oppose any man or measure, that they are
in conscience bound to obey—are not the Know
Nothings of Georgia laboring under a similar
obligation I Grant further, that if the Catholic
disobeys the order of tbe Pope, he does it at the
hazard of excommunication and of his soul’s
eternal damnation—if a Know Nothing of Geor
gia disregatd his obligation, does he not incur a
penalty scarcely leas awful iu the eye of an Ameri
can freeman? the “forfeiture of all intercourse with
the members of the order and being denounced
in all societies of the same as a willful trmilortoAu
God and hit country V'
I quote from the K'tnal of the First Degree :
“That you will not vote, nor giveyour influ. nee,
for any man for any office in tkegift of tho people,
unless he le an American born citizen. * * *
That you will in all political matters, so tar as this
order is concerned, comply with the will of the
majority, though it may conflict with your per
Seoul preference, so long as it does not coefl ct
with the Cods' itation of the United States of Arne
rica or that of tho State in which you reside. * *
* # That you will answer an imperative notice
ia-aed by the proper authorities; obey the com
mandof the State Cou i il President or his Deputy,
while assembled by such notice, and re-pond to
the claim of a sign or cry of the order, unless it
be physically impossibfe; and that you will ac
knowledge the State Council as the legislative head,
the ruling authority and the supreme tribunal ol
the order in the Slate, acting under the jurisdic
tion of the National Council of the United States
of North America. Binding yourßelf iu the penalty
of excommunication from the order, the forfeiture
of ail intercourse with its members, and being
denounced in all societies of the same as a willful
traitor to your God and your country .”
The above is the oath or obligation to be taken
by every member w;;o is regularly initiatei into
the Know Nothing Councils. Was there ever a
more rigid despotism prescribed for the actions ol
men ? Does the Autocrat of Russia possess more
absolute powers than are here conceded to the
heads of the Know Nothing Councils ? How doe®
itccmport with the boasted free institutions of
Republican America ?
Tho Know Nothings charge that the Roman
Catholics are bound to vote for whatever candi
date for the Presidency the Pope may designate,
by virtue of the above obligation, tho Know Noth
ings are bound by their solemn oath to vote for
whatever candidate a majority of the Order may
nominate. They charge that the Catholics are
bound to wave personal qualifications and cast
their votes in accordance with the dictates of a
higher power; the Know Nothings ore bound to
vote for the candidate of the party though it may
cmflict with their persanal preference —for a cor
rupt politician if he chances to be the nominee, in
preference to the purest statesman that ever lived.
They may charge (however groundless) that the
Catholics of this country are bound, in conscience
to leave their secular employments and fill a mis
sion of the Pope, if be should require it; yet the
Know Nothings, by the above oath or obligation-,
arc bound to “answer the imperative notioe issued
oy the proper authority ; obey tho command of the
State Council President or his P.puty, while as
sembled by such notice, and respond to the claim
of a sign or a cry of the Order , unless it be physi
cally impossible .” Mark it, freemen of Georgia, yon
are bound by your solemn oaths to answer theeo
imperative notices, to obey these commands, to re
spond to these signs and cries of the order, unless
it be physically impossible.
44 True,” perhaps, some will say, but your paral
lel goes no further. We have no power to enforce
our commands ; tho Pope has, —he can oxcommu
nicate such rebellious subjects, in case they do re
fuse to 41 answer” bis 14 imperative notices,” re
fuse to 44 obey 11 his “ commands ” ,or 44 respond” to
his 44 claims”—ho may exclude them from a par
ticipation of the holy encharist and consign them
to Purgatory for ail eternity.” Grant it for the
sake of the argument; but tell me what is the
with which Know Nothings visit their
members who refuse to anawor their imperative
notices, to obey their commands, or to respond to
their claims? I answer in tho language of your
Ritual of the first dagyqe : It is “ the penalty of
excommunication from the order, the forfeiture of
all intercourse with its members, and being de
nounced in all the societies of tho same as a will
ful traitor to your God and your country 11 For one,
as a Georgian, and as a freeman, 1 would far pre
fer receiving the sentence of etornal damnation
from the lips of the Pope of Rome, than be de
nounced by a portiou of my fellow citizens aud
follow freemen as a traitor to my God and my
country. The former has no terrors for me ; but
the latter, all that is awful and all that a freeman
should dread—the lato of Benedict Arnold, to be
declared a traitor by the voice of my own country
men.
But it ia said, there are provisions made in the
government of tho Order for all difficulties of this
kind: 44 a member may withdraw, aud then he
will not be bound to obey theso imperative com
mands, but may, on election day, put on the garb
of a freeman, walk up to the ballot box and vote
like a frooman, for whomsoever he pleases.” Ido
not see any such permission or reservation in any
of the obligations, but grant that the members have
that liberty. Then, I say, they are no longer
Know Nothings ; they are freemen again; they are
then at liberty to vote lor the man best qualified for
the office, and to vote in accordance with their
44 personal preferences. 11 To such I have nothing
to say. They may object Ic the doctrine of Brown-
Bon’s letter, if they see proper—it comes with a
good grace from them. But lam speaking of the
Know Nt things, not of those who may have been
Kuow Nothing*, and I charge that every Kuow
Nothing, who has taken the obligation of the first
degree, in casting his vote, is bound to yield his
persona] preference, if ic should conflict with tho
will of tho majority—is bound to answer the im
perative notice of the proper authority—is bound
to obey the command ol the State Council Presi
dent, or his Deputy, unless i’ be physically impos
sible—under the penalty of the violation of a
solemn oath, and being denounced as a traitor to
hiß country.
But to my parallel. Tou denounce Brownson.
You denounce Catholics for yielding te the Pope
their conscience, (which I ween, would, in many
instances be nearly synonymous with “ personal
preference”); but yet, say tho Kuow Nothings are
not vulnerable to the charge, because they can
withdraw. Cannot Catholics withdraw t Did not
Martiu Luther withdraw ? Are not Roman Cath
olics withdrawing in all parts of the world and
uniting with the various Protestant denominations?
What advantage, then, have the Kuow Nothings
over the Catholics in th : s view cf the parallel?
Brownscm and some Priests may carry the doo
trine ot committing their conscience to the Pope
a little farther than the Know Nothings have yet
done; bnt in a!l candor these latter have carried it
so far that they should not be throwing this objec
tion against the Catholics. They have no limit
Bhorl of the Constitution of the United States and
the State in which they reside. It ie the general
opinion of the ablest jurists of the country, that
if the Wtlmct Proviso were passed by Congress, it
would not be unconstitutional; and in that evert,
if a majority of the Know Nothing Party shculd
favor it, every member of the Order would be
bound to sustain it or be denounced as a traitor to
his country.
No donbt, there are many members of the or
der whose attention has not been called to a close
analysis of the obligation they have taken—many
have been initiated by a short hand or iteam pro
cess, and have never taken the obligation
at all. To such, especially, we would say, read
carefully the ritural of the first degree and satisfy
your own minds. Reflect upon it, and ask your
selves if it is an obligation becoming a freeman to
t?ke. Ton object to Browneon’s letter—then you
are right—every lover of liberty should damn
such political dogmas as ruinous to our country.
And as you love your country, as you fear the es
sects of such political herosy, avoid its first ap
proach. If you have taken any obligation limit
ing your freedom of thought and freedom of ac
tion as guaranteed to you by the laws of your coun
try, burst it at once as you would the deadly em
brace of an enemy.

Slav is* nr thx Pr> rrx>TiAßT bt Puoxt. —We
once or twice, says the Indianapolis Journal, al
luded to the case of Muir, the rich rascal of Rip’ey
county, who was lately sentenced to the Peniten
tiary lor forgery. We find in the LawTenceburg
Press:
Old Mr. Muir, who was sentenced to the Peni
tentiary from J ennings county la'ely, is a pretty
hard case. He has lo’ g gone unwhipped of jus
tice. We believe the Ripley folks had about given
up tTying to convict the old man.
Siuoe his conviction, agood one is told ou the
old man exhibiting his stubbornness. It runs
thus: A friend or Muir, alter hie conviction asked
him how it happened, as he had certainly extrica
ted himself from several harder cases than this
one. “Oh,” Baid the old man, “my witnesses
thought they could extort ten dollars apiece for
swearing me out of the scrape, wher 1 never in
all my life paid over five dollars and a half for the
best kind ot swearing, five dollars is all it is
worth. It is a liberal price. I told teem I womd
see them in Tophet before I would pay over five.
I am determined to let such villaine know that
they cannot prastice tbe rule of exortion upon old
Muir. Why, don't you think a fallow a-ked me (20
per month to serve my time ent in the penitentia
rv. I told 1 would, give him (12—and notja oent
more, for it is all it is worth. Tbe labor would not
be as bard as making staves or girdling beech
trees. My property came too hard to be paid out
at such rales.

Desperate Attempt to Kaeape.
David Wright, who was confined in jad under
conviction of murder in the first degree, committed
about eighteen months ago, on tbe person of A. M.
Robinson, oeputy Sheriff of this county, andawait
lng the ecu tan ce ot the Court, which was Bet for
to-day, se* fire to his cell on Saturday night last,
and burnt himself to-death.
The facts elicited before the Coroner’s inquest
are these: , .
On Saturday morning, the turnkey, Mr. J. M.
Brooks from causes which fia deemed sufficient,
discontinued all communication of the family and
others with him. When he visited the cell to
carry Wright hie breakfast, he fomid him much
out of temper, and very abusive. When he visi
ted h.m again in the evening to carry hiß supper,
he found him in a much better mood, and before
he left the cell Wright asked to be forgiven for
what had pa-sed in the morning, and they parted,
apparently with the best teelings. When Brooks
was , leaving, however, Wright remarked he would
make the place too hot to hold them to night. It
was so common an occurrence, though, for him to
keep up a disturbance, often ail night, that noth
ing was thought of the remark.
Between 11 and 12 o’clock at night he was heard
to call out several times for Brooks, aud not hear
ing from him, he called one of the watch; rot
hearing from either, he told them to go to hell.
But it being such a common thing to be cal ed up
at various hoars of the night, no attention was
given. In about fifteen minutes, however, after
ne had ceased calling, a servant girl who siept in
a room immediat ly undar Wright s celi, came
running out and stated that the room was on fire
overhead. Attention was directed to it, anu Mr.
Brooks went immediately up, and on opeutrg the
close shutter, he found the floor and mattrasaes
on fire, the room hot beyond endurance, a„a
Wright lying ou the fl >cr dead. The grate shatter
was so hot that it could not be pulled open with
the hand. .. ,
The room is about 18 by 18 feet, with about 9
foot ceiling, lined with pine boards about two inches
in thickness. The heat had drawn the rosin freely
from the walls and celling, and had set the ceiling
immediately overhead on fire. The room has but
two openings, about twelve by thirty inches each.
These apertures were closed by the prisoner, as is
supposed, to prevtnt detection by the eecape of
smoke before his plans were matured.
When found, he had lying near his head, an in
strnm-nt which resembled both a saw aDd a knife.
It was made of a saw for cutting iron, and is about
the sue of the large end of a key hole saw, with
the back ground sharp and to a point, evidently
intended to saw off his irons, and then, if neces
sary, cat his way through any force that might
oppose uia escape. When the cuff around the leg
was taken off, it was found that he had sawed it
nearly in two and i is supposed that the heat of
the fire, which was buiit near the spot where he
was chained to the floor, become too hot for him
to do more, and he was compelled to move his
body as far from it as he could stretch himself, in
which position he died. Had he succeeded in cut
ing off :he clog there is no doubt he would have giv
en he alarm of fire, and when the door was opened,
made an attempt to escape; and with the assis
tance of the aforesaid instrument, might have
elayed hie third man. ..... -
Wright had evidently pat himself in trim for
getting awiy. He had stripped off all h» clothes
bat a pair ot brown Holland pants, which were
buttoned tight around him. With no shirt on, it
would have been impossible for any one to hold
on to him. and hed he relieved himself of the in
cumbrances, as a shrewd man would have done,
before he put the fire underway, he vro- id have
bad little difficulty in making good bia escape.
However, there seems te have been a destiny about
the man. On a former occasion he escaped from
jail, and after being gone two months or more,
was captured but little over 200 mi'ee from home.
By the exertions of the firemen—who, together
with the military, were promptly on the spot—the
games were subdued before the jail building wm
materially damaged*— QwcmfrH £**» 544 •*#*»

a number of nights ho did not take his cloth* off,
aud, of danger, was in attendance in
all parts of the ship, to leud assistance aud soothe
the last monjpnts of the dying.
In conclusion, let us suggest to our readers, that
though the disease may extend to the City, t > re
should be no cause for aiarm. Tho dryn a:and
general cleanly condition of the streets, ad c i to
the remarkable salubrity of this cliuuic, must
prove au effectual bar to anything like an epLlum

stalls about town should bj avoided, aud above all,
as as possible from the usual 'node

aisease cannot spread to any extent in tl i city,
notwitnstauding us short li /ed existence in ’ou a id

Wo furnish herewith a list of the d ad. as ro

thing in his power to alleviate the d.stress around
him. Mias K«bacca Hirscbmau, whose name ap

had not seen her for seven years, (Henry 11 r : h

soon as tho steamer was telegraphed he procu ed
a small boat aud proceeded ou board.
After inquiring of several passengers, ho receiv
ed the dreaded inteilignice that sin died when
the steamer was four days* sail ?rcm this port.
She is said to have been one ot the most lovely of
her sex. The gentleman that attended her during
her cickness showed her every attention, an l did
ail iu his power to restore her to health, but to no

Add to tho above the namo of Miss Mary Ann

a total of Bi. There are now three cases in the

which cannot but prove fatal. Tho steam r has

Among the victims of cholera on board th _

Tho San Francisco Chronicle says :
When the passengers by tho Prometheus r< . h
ed the Istfimus, tho disease had been ragit ;- for
some days near the lake among the natives, most
of whom had fled in great terror. One f the j-
sc-ngers inform-d us that they saw several bed ins
of natives dead by cholera, deserted r - d part ally
oaten by tho wol es and crows, near the r a h
The fright of tho natives was so great that they
could not be induced to aid, as they usually do, in
tho transportation of goods on tho Isthmus, and
the passengers were delayed a day logger than the
ordinary time at Virgin Buy.
Several cases occu Tod at San Juan, and nf or
getting to sea the plague began lo ifge among tho
passengers For sovon days there was as‘ / v m
and rain which .probably had considerable i ti i
ence to increase the viru’ouco of the daaaly
ease. All the deaths wore by cholera, n d all
those attacked by cholera died. Several proas
had slight attacks of diarrl csa, (perhaps pr< m ni
tory symptoms of cholera,) aud were cured, but
none ot those could bo sai lto have entered t! e
defined limits of the Asiatic scourge. The p' y-d
--cian aboard was very attentive to the sick, an the
officers of the boat did all in their power to aid
the suffering. Those attacked generally died in
86 hours ; one man lingered lor three days.
The Walxkb Expedition—Through tho Ca i
fornia papers we buve confirmation of tho over
throw of Colonel Walker end his party, a** o
viously published. The account down to W . iker’s
departure on board the schooner belonging i > the
NicaraguaCcmpany differs in no respect from that
already furnished. Subsequent proceedings are
thus reported by a sympathising correspondent of
the Alla California, ou buard tin s'.earner Sio ra
Nevada, his letter being dated July 18:
Next day (July 1,) wo saw Gen. Bosk* enter the
town with about 70 men. Ho imn o liutcly <■ led
on me and demand the assistance ot tho steamer
to pursue and capture tho brig Vesta, then < ris
ing off tho harbor, and having on do rd pi . vies
and others intending i j iry tothcGoveri :;3ut
and r eople of <fec. Ac. 1 reforr d him
to the captain, when ho pressed tisFuit with t u h
ardor, who told him his ship came there on ether
business entirely, and could uol bo so empl ed.
He then gave us a narrative of the pro;eu<! gs
of the provious day, unu showed ns pap s
taken from Walker in tho t-kirmish, which ore
in his overcoat and which was thrown or liia
shoulder* l and dropped in tbo meieo. Ho hi ho
original grant to Byron Colo, from Gen. Cas ■ Uon,
whioh paper, I believe, I have beiore Been, M tilty
two thousand acres of land; also a transto- of the
grant from Byron Cole to Wm. Walker, blank
oortilro&tes ot stocks signed by vVm Walker, t
in the Colonization Company of Nicaragua, and
numerous other papers, as also letter* from friends
of Walker and others of o private chatacior, .. I of
which ho was fr eto show to any ol us, cncout
those really private.
He captured 6 ot Sharp’s rifles, and think i them
a very fine weapon, and gives the American- 1 great
praise for their skill in using them. He ownsto
having lost between 50 and 00 men, and i.c says
t.e foui.d two young Americans on the <ocd c u
ing to Ban Juan belonging to Walker’s men. V/o
counted by moonlight, as the embarcation o. VV’s
men was goiDg on. some £4 or 55, as n* ar t. \,e
could make out. Ho considers it a great victor ,
and is a man of fln9 appearand an i edu ation.
having lived four years in the United Stau - . lie
is familiar mith many tbirg-in regard to ti.
tion of filibusters in tho United Sta-.ts, of *•. i i.h
others ot his Government are igno ant.
Walker intimates that he has been gr •j-s-y dec 'v
ed somewnere, and has, as he says, Feared .n ’ m
or two, which may be of service to him yet I. *
evident he did not eipect to pee so many men at
Kivas. He was in a very destit te oondki ai aud
his party were very much worn out.
A San Franciscan, named Kewen, I believe a
brother of Col. E. J. C. K' wen, was shot through
the Deck and killed instantly. He had been doiDg
immense service with one Sharp’s r.fl .s, and had
his piece levelled when shot. Another named
Crocker, I believe, was also killtd, but am not
certain. I coaid learn no ether names. The
night of embarcation a fine hou-e wa* burned at
San Juan, about the best building there, sup
posed to have been done by a Dr. Dewey, who
joined Walker’s party the day af.er the fight, hav
ing come from Costa K ca, and I believe Wa k«r
did all he could to prevent him; however, W.
gets the blame from the owners.

Eabthuuaxe at Los Anselc*.—On the evening
of Tuesday, the 10th inat., about ha.i-past seven,
says the Southern Californian, wts experienced
the most tremendous shock ot an earthquake ever
known in this oountry, and one that will be loig
remembered in this section. Such wna its for :e,
that large numbers ot our one-story buildings were
cracked from top to bottom, glass and crockery
were thrown Iran the shelves, windows broken,
Ac., Ac. Neariy every merchant in th’s city
suffered quite severely in this manner. Lamps
were upset; families tested at the tea table were
dismayed to witness the nudden overthrow of lea
urns and dishes, and fled affrighted to the open
air. Clocks were brown down. Inde d, hardly
a buildiDg escaped without damage to its walls,
or destruciion ot some portion ot its contents. The
shocks lasted several seconds, and appeared to lift
up and twist the ground about, accompanied by a
roaring noiss like the approach of a hurricane.
The weather duriug toe day had been somewhat
cloudy and very unusual for this season. There
was a slight tall of rain about 11 A. M. The
movements seemed to come from the er st, although
its suddenness rendered it impossible lo de
termine, with a D y accuracy, its direct on. Los
Angeles never took as thorough a purge before—
every house was deserted in a tr;oi. There can
be no doubt that bad our city been composed ot
three and soar story bui’diDgs. it would have
been levelled with the ground. Our oaiidiDg* are
generally but one story, however, and to this fact
are we indebted for our escape from what m ght
have been a fearful catastrophe. As it war, wa Is
of two and a half and three feet in thickness were
, rent asunder, and a general ripping and crackicg
i took place, that created general consternation,
imd brought Miller** prophecies vividly to mind.

Thr Philadelphia papor publish extended de
tails ol tho collision on the Bj ev/are o i Saturday
mght o the steamer Generui MeDmatd and the
scuoouer A. G. Pease. Too Ledger says
The steamer General McDonald ha been char
terud by Mr. Jarrett, of Baltimore, and she was
advertited lo leave Dock street wharf at oigh'
o’clo. k, aud slop at New Castle, to take on b a d
tho excursionist* from Baltimore »nd Wa.shiugtoij.
- hen the bc<a' loft her wharf there were more than
oue hundred pussoiigeis ou board; the night wa b
very dark aud raining heavily, cous> q lontiy tin.
p lot was compelled to us? great cautiou in
aiug his way down the Doiaware, for fearof com
ing in contact with othor vessels. Wnou a short
distsuceabove the L zurotto, while those on board
were enjoying theuise ves aud diluti-g upon the
pleasures of a dip iu old ocoan, on their ar ival at
the Islaud, the pilot ol the McDonald discovered a
schoouer c'oae upon the bow of the steamer, with
her head up stream. A sharp and quick turn of
the wheel caused tho McDonal to sheur a little
but not sufficient to escape the threatening d Tiger
for tho next moment a loud crash was heard, inter
mingled with screams aud loud exclamations from
those on board the steamer aud the soheoner,
which cau.-od th : most intense excitemont aud
fi ight among the passengers. In a moment it wub
discovered ti ut thobowip it of theschoowor hud
entered tho side ot the stuurnor, in front of the
wheel house, about 80 feet from her bow, on tho
larboard side, and sweeping off' the barber shop,
injuring tho wheel house, guards, staauchoonsami
timbers, while the schooner continued to ride
safely, save the loss of her bowi-pirit, and some
few othor injuries. Tho steamer was forced fiorn
her c u r H 3, and ma o to careeuovor nearly to her
guards by the force of the collision, but fortunate
y tor the living lro ghton board, her hull was un
injured.
But the saddest portion of the story remains to
be told, aud that is the loss of life, though to what
extent we are no: yet ab r o to tell, us ih ro was no
register of the names of passengers on hoard, an-i
other, could not tell, except in iwi cases, whow- ro
missing. Some of those on board scy that, when
the room used as u barber shop was broken and
curried overboard, there wero ten or fltteen per
sons precipitated into P'e river with it, while other*
say there were but fonr insi te, at the time >t tho
ficVident. Be that as it may, H ere seems to be no
doubt us To the drowning of Mr. Do glus®, one of
He agents of Canning’s Cape M y Express, and
Mr. Winslow, of Chester, freight agent of the
Baltimore Kiilroud Company, and a oolored boy
belonging to the b >at. Among those ewep o er
ho rd was Mr. Walters, • ditor of tho Dolawure
county R?publican, who was fortunately rescued
by C: p*. IS .oncer, of the schooner “Maria L Hill”
of Portland, though much bruised Mr. Covor
dale, agent of Express Despatch, at Beverly,
was much bruised.
Tho Btonmpr McDonald, aftor the accident, was
anchored in tho stream, and the agent, Mr. C_>hon,
landed at Chester, aud informed Mr. Huddcl l , who
obtained a car, came to Philad Iphia, and procured
the a rvioes of the oteumer which vessel left
her wharf about one o’clock yesterday morning,
returning about four, A. M. Ninety eight of the
passengers wero brought tip by the S in and safely
lnudeo. At eovtn o’clock, tho Sun returned to the
s one of the acc.dent, and tow .id the McDonald to
Wilmington for repairs.
The captain of the schooner A. G. Pease in
formed ns that his vessel was anchored in U o
sire in with tho n-ua' light displayed, and at tho
time of iho accident bimseif and some of the crew
were sining on the deck « f his vessel. They ob
sorve-d tho steamboat coming down the r iver, but
had no idea of a collie on until a very brief period
before it occurred. The Jioboom, bowi-prit, c»t
heads arid cu‘-wa er of the soboouor were oarriod
sway, and tho plank phear cut in. These are
abo rt the only injuries sustained by this vessel.
Mr. Coverda'e, of Beverly, wai injured, it is
supposed, internally, as he was spitting blood all
ti e way up to the city. He thinks tlicre must
1 ave beeu at least twenty persons in tho barber
shop at >he time of the accident, and that he aud
Mr. Wallers wero tbs only ones saved.
At the time of tho collision the McDonald ca
reened over, and the chain box broke loose from
its fastenings, and we a launched Into the Dola
ware on the opposite side of the boat.
Mr. Haddell returned yesterday afternoon from
the scene cf the disaster, and from him we learn
that Mr. Mark Wurne, a brother iu-luw ol Mr.
Walters, is missing,and snj7posed to be drowned.
A) o, a man named R msby or itamsy, °-ho liv- d
in South Street. Mr Winslow, Mr. Walters,and
his brother in law, had been iu tho bar er shop
but a few minute-* beloro they wore hurled wi h
great force iuto the wa’or. Mr. Walters had his
le tar .1 injured, and one of his fingers cut oIT,
t- e piece hanging only by the skin ; r e replaced
the parts and bound it up. Late yesterday after
noon the body of a man flouted into Chester,
upon a piece of timber, or raiher the timber kept
him up in consequence of the end of it having
been breed into him. Tho timber struck hirn'-n
the pocket book, which was lorced into hisab
domen. It was taken out, and insido of »t wm
found some n oney, and an enve : ope directed to
George, or John G. Eablemore, Esq., Lmcaslr-r
city, Lanca ter co., Pa.; on the back, in pencil
murk, was the word Monday, and some other
memorandum, which was almost obliterated by
blood.
Mr. Huddell Bays that three vessels were
anchored near the scene of disaster, and that the
pilot, in attempting lo get by woof them, ran into
the A. G. Pease.

becontended that E more, a Southern man, wa*
dismissed for his Free oiiii-m. The only charges
brough* againßt him, grow out of his alleged spec
illations in the public lands.
It wi'l be remembered that Secretary Maroy ad
dressed a letter to Gov. Reeder sometime since, in
which he called his attention, and that ofJud?e
Elmore and other officials, to this charge, and in
ti mated that they could not be retained in office
without sa t is f ac t ry expiariatior s. To-this notifl
cation Gov. Reeder replied, a?*, will be seen by ref
ereece to another part of this day’s paper, de
food ng ht» c nduct as best he could. His expla
nation was n«"-t considered satisfactory, howevor,
and he diS ' is.HOd some days ag ». It is evi
dent, therefore, that he was removed for his al
leged specula l ions, ot which the Pre-ident w&r
awar** B'-v ral months since and not for his gross
interference agaia-t the boab.
But why was not Judge Elinore dismissed at the
name time! And if he was, why was it rot an
non need ? Reefer was removed ju-t in time to
operate upon the elections in North Carolina
Tennessee, Kentucky and A abama ; and the ari

i A Visit to ibe C'siscomi a of PsrU.
BT OL.TA.VId LAOIOX.
We made one of a hundred carious visitors,
among whom were Mr. Perfect of the
Heine, the Ottoman Ambesaador, an American
P shop and nis Vicar, Dr. Paul Guimard, the so
complished and witty traveller, several professors,
literati and artists, besides a goodly company of
women ot fashion. The gate by which we enter -
e ’ it situated with an interior conrt of the Octroi
l-iffl.e, at the barrier D’Enfer. Each one was pro
vided with a lighted torch and s tinder box. We
commenced the descent immediately, by a long
aud very narrow spiral starecase, one on which
two childtoa even could not ha\e walked abreast,
attor de ceasing on> bun lrad and fifty step’, be
ing then more thau a hundred feet below the sur
lice ot the earth, we took, by direction of guides
attached to the one of the many gal
leriea that opened b*.i »re us. The road, like the
pt&ircaae, is of the narrowest kind, bat smooth and
vaulted with great cam and nearly everywhere o»
.the height of five or six foot. Here and there upon
the wa'ls,'are inscribed the quarters ot Paris, with
tuat of tne parish under which you are passing;
and along the roof a bla ;k line has been drawn to
indicate the read. But let nc one trust too confi
dently to its guidance, f r the liue is frequently
broken ; and any visitor who should blinoly ad
Vhtiue twenty or thirty stops iuto this labyrinth of
g illeries aud corridors unattended, could ouly by a
mi ale retrace his way.
F.om place to place, you find both the floor
siul roof a l tile humid, and water trickling down
the walls, but not sufficient to prevent your pasa
*ng further or continuing your way. Having walk
ed ulong the road of the Catacombs, tor thirty or
thirty five m 1 tut toe — lh« name is frequently repea

real N«oropr*lis. Hore the galleries are broader,
and the roof higher; tho air within is cooler too,
but impregnated with a cadaverous odor Iliac sur
round* you ins’uutly, clings in » moment to your
face, your hands, and your clothes.
Tnese catacombs aro in a special manner the
last abode, the eternal domain of ti e dead. From
tho diff ivnt c meteries of Paris, they have been
brought here, heaped up in large wagons or well
filled hearses, and the remains as they are more or
(O'S uubroken, or black, or brown, or humid, or
ry, all are placed in order like the books in a li
b iry in their arr&ngera nts. Tho bones re form
ed into crosses and lozenges, placed one npon the
other just as the siz * permitted, ovory .‘ tage is two
or throe feet in height, nnilormly crowned by a
row of skulls, which serve, in their turn, for tho
foundation of another story. The artist has some
times vaiiod his models; thus be has amused
him elf with the construction of a largo cross with
i«s pedestal, the latter formed of skulls, chosen
from something striking or singular in their us
pect.
IS ich cabinet of tho dead is, as it were, ticketed,
and be m graven u ou the separating stone, tho
name of the cemo eiy, from which its contents
voro druwu, and the date of their translation to
the oa-acomba, hero and there are entire convents
of monks and nuns. In a soperate corner are eu
tcred the remains of tho prisoners masstored in
September, ’92. These bones nre not yet duly
moulded and stripped by corruption, so as to bo
admitto t to their final place in this funeral muse
um. lu a spot exposed upon a table (not far from
a thermometer which stands at 10 deg.) are some
extraordinary bodies and curious bones, upon
which tho hand ot lime, h s pressed in u pecul.ar
manner,•hardening tome, and soften s ng others, or
covering them with a yellowish and a.erile moss,
a species of humid lichen. At other points bones
are hofpad upon each other, poll moll, awaiting
tho ingenious lurid of their arranger. There are
at regular int* rvuls, wolls five or six feet
deep ; in these, tho water shows so clear and
fresh, it would almost enkindle th ; rst, did you not
discover at the bottom some wrecks ot humanity
thut have fallen from tho surrouuding heaps;
there they rot, yet neither change, nor cloud, the
crystal olearliness of the sn r lace.
Everywhere along the ro'>d, aro Greek, Latin,
Italian nod French inscriptions, drawn, some! ime
from Holy Writ, somo’imes from i rofa o authors,
ancient and modern—Humor and Dante, Solomon
and Seneca, Horace and Ezekiel, Ma filatre, Gil
bort, the Abbe Dehllo,—all these have furnished
sonorous and ambitious sentences, bolter fitted to
awak ’D the imag'nation of tho living, than to
touch tho heart. On, on, s retches this long gal
lery of bones and skulls; it spreads to the right—
to tho leit—it is before—it is behind—onward for
several leagues, uninterrupted uniform, monoto
nous and crriblo. Tho dead, the dead—and still
the dead ; there aro not less that ten millions of
relicts mingled and confounded together here, in
t : is dark, silent, and subtornnean city. Ten mil
lions of men —think on that, on what an iintnenso
crowd, and all those have uoi ily traversed the
earth. Tney ravj thought—they have written — ,
they have erected cities— they have swayed or agi ,

ambition—they had ihoir balls and their fea«»s— |
their marriages and thoir masquerades—they (

Thero they lie; -orao wore b< anties, iu their days, (
8' tno were plain; there ar dandies, and enqueues, (
and prude-*, miracle mongers and unbelievers,
who can toll them now ? Doad kings and princes, r
and poor devils too; beggars, vagabonds, the lame, ,
and the holt and leperou *, hut all quiet. There j

H.-mlo from Y rick, the Christain from the Jew,
the Con ft of tne Kii g of Fiari e from that of tho
miracles, Richelieu from a fieh fag. All are ou the
same level now.
A t- pooiea of fear and horror cornea over tbo boul
eh you traverse the Damerous paths and defiles
wh ch appear like the si reels and squares of some
cdy of our progenitors; you walk slowly, you speak
little and m under tones, and your fuce gr. ws
bloodless. One of our party was a young: girl ot
twenty five perhaps, dre sid not only with e!o
g inco, but distinction; besides this, she was hand
xonio, and of a good figure; her eye were of an in
teli'gont and an blue, her hair chestnut,
a u raaJl and delicato tot appeared beneath the
silkou folds of her drees, and in lilac tinted glove
was bidden a lightly mou'ded partrician hand,
fh's woman (by the way) ha I immediately at
traded every eyo, and surely her youth uud graoe
most justly deserved our attention. She brought
toev- ry mine, amid the destruction and unweary
ing havoc of death, the immortality of naturo;
ev -r tortile, ever renewing; she was a garland of
sprngnnd lovo, a wandering memory of the up
per earth and the living where pairing birds were
now ."h iking n their frolics the flowers of the jes
samino, and where other couples wore walking with
a silent step beneath the groves of mighty trees,
forgetting tne world in their own sweet promise,
like Faua and Marguerite, or b eking each other
amidst balls and masques, like Komeu and Juliet.
Still when examined closely, there wa-> upon her
faeo a kind ot coMdosb and hardihood—her lip was
wanting in sincerity, a d her «ye in modesty. I
said, as 1 took my seoond view of her, this woman
could seo lather, mother, husband aud even her
son in peril, ithout much emotion or much re
gre*, sh «is marble. And my opinion is oorrect. —
I was leisurely convinced ol it as wo travelled the
catacombs. Never one serious thought, never one
ilovu od sentiment at any time crossed that beau
tiful face; it remained impassable, with one a 1
changed, eternal smile; it was not from distraction,
it was trom lightness, it was the cold and calm in
difference of a heart which is sealed up and hears
not hing. Oil the way she lookod upon the hideous
and denuded skuds; she even touched and lifted
thorn with her fragile and coquettish hand, still
smiling, just as she would if glancing at a rose
Our visit to the catacombs lasted more than an
liour and a halt. Then we roturned to the galleries
a, d corridors, to the narrow staircase; final y, in u
few miuu’es, we were once again in a city of the
living. Bat to s«»e us as we moved before each
other, still affrighted and colorless, a passer by
won d have exclaimed, pointing with his finger,
like the oh' woman of Florence, to the strungeand
pallid Alighieri, ‘‘Bee, they have just returned

The panic in and around Portsmouth was truly
distressing. The e'o mor Coffoo left her wharf
yesterday morning, loaded to her guards, and left
fully a hundred on the wharf, praying to be taken
on board.
Persona from Hampton and the adjtcont 0 un

In Portsmouth a large narnber of stores were
closed, as are two hotels and the public market
house.
The tolagraph operato , with hie family, had fled
fr-m the city, leaving no one in the office there.
We arc, therefore, without telegraph dispatches.
The panic is fast becoming universal.

Mr. Coidkn —The reply ot Mr. Cob-drn to Lrd

condemns the ministry for not embracug tin- i.p
po tuuity offered by Lord John for the rest on

only plunged England into a useless war, but one
the danger and difficulty of which they seem ut
terly ncompet tit to understand. Ho den e- that
the Cabinet, in renewing the war, ave taken the
necessary steps to bring it to a sn<cesefil issue.
He says that if members, would uso the asmo

would be soou Drought to au end. He regards tho
idea of England humbling Russia its six y
millions ol inhabitants and inexhaustible row ma

he says, tho truth is confirmed by every member
of the House who has lately come from that coun
try, tnat the war is not popular in France, that it
never his fcjen popular there, ar«d is now onions.
