It is a very short o «© and wili oonvey no infi>r:uation
to tbo bom member beyond that wbieb bo already
posse***!. If it bo any satisfaction, however, to my
non. friend to be informed otfioiaUy of that which he
already know* iudividualiy, I shod bare very great
rleacuie in enlightening hi* mind. (A laugh.) Tbe
{ /use is perfectly aware from tbe GaretU that yes
terday, at a treaty of pcr.ee was signed ot
Paris (Cheer* ) The House will have seen by the
announcement in t!*e Gatcttr tiiat it was determined
by tbe (.oiigre«s that the paiticuior condition* of the
treaty should not be made public until the ratifica
' tions bad be*.*Q exebang/'d. And that, indeed, is the
usual course, for it m a mark of serious deference to
ihe Power* who are parties to tbe treaty. At the
same time without g«/ing into any details «/f the eon- J
dstious, the main substance of which is already j
kr*own to «?! tho world, because h ha* b«.*en euiboq- j
| u*d in protocols and published in every country in I
t Europe, 101 y at least that my conviction is, .
| that that treaty ot will bo deemed satisfactory j
by this country ana by Europe. (Choer* ) Sir, it j
w'i!l bo found that th© objects tor which th* war was j
undertaken bavo boon fully accomplished. It will j
be found Lbat by tbe stipulations of tho :roaty tbe- in- j
tegrity and independence of tho Turkish empire will j
b« secured, as for us human arrangements can effect
that purpose. (Choon.j
li wiil be found that tbo treaty is honorable to ail
the Power* who are contracting parties to it, and
I trust ’bat, while on the one hand, it ha* put an
! end to a war which every friend to humanity must
( naturally have wished to see concluded, on the otb
| or hand it will lay tho foundation of a peace which I
trust, So far at least a* r«>gards the circumstances
out of which tbo war began, will be
enduring (Hear, bear.) Bir, during the negotiations
which have led to this peace I am happy to say that
the same cordiality which Las prevailed among tho 1
allies iu carrying on tbe war has been also mainly
contributed to tie* conclusion of peace, and that wo
•hall leave off at the oonclasiau of this war in a
stricter and close alliance with them—and in a more
eiteoding alliance—than existed during the conti
naauce of the war; and, that therefore, the future
permanence not only of a good understanding but of
un intimate connexion between the groat Power*
of Europe will have been cemented and streogthed
by the communications that have taken pioce du
| ring the negotiation*. (Hear, hear.) Sir, I have
nothing more to eay, except that it most be gratify
ing to the country to know that nothing could ex
©eed the ability with which the British negotiator*
havo performed their arduous and difficult task da
ring the negotiations (chex-ni,) and that Lord
rsndoo and Lord Cowley have not only maintained
1 the honor, dignity, and interests of tho country they
represented, but by their conciliatory conduct havo
1 a«*oured for themselves and their country the res
pect, esteem, and good will of those with whom
they had to do. (Cheer*.) The ratification* are to
be exohanged as *«w»n hs they can l>a reoeived at
’ Constantinople and .St Petersburg. The limitation
of time ha* four weeks, but I should hope that
at least within three week* th« ratification* will be
* exchanged at Paris. (Cheers.)
The amendment was then withdrawn.

The Times’ Paris correspondent writes that when

ing effect : lie thanked tho Plenipotentiaries for
having come lu person to hfta with wuch

tiou of tho speech delivered by Lord Clarendon in
the House of Lords, aud that the peace which the
Allies were determined ou eouoludiug was one
which carried with it no humiliation to Russia, and
which did not compromise tho dignity or iudepeu

nation might propose or accept without degrada
tion, aud it therefore had ail the element* of solidity
and durability. Aud he added that so favorable
a result was, lu a great measure, owing to the
conciliatory spirit utul the mt deration whirb
mark'd the policy of England, and which wa* par
ticularly felt in the course of the present confer
ence*.
The same writer say* there are other questions of
paramount Interest pending, and it would not be
proper for the Plenipotentiaries to leave without
taking them Into consideration : “ 1 understand
that Lord Clarendon has ro Intention of quitting

j THIRTY-FOURTH C ONGRESS—| hi Session.
| IS SENATE April 14.
j Mr. Harlan presented an affidavit from Colonel
i Lane, on the subject of the Kansas memorial pre-
I sented the other day by Mr. Cass, which the Senate
refused to receive. Mr Harlan said that respect
for the .Senate required him to explain why he
should present tiie second time ft memorial from the
members of the Provisional Legislature of Kansas.
He alluded to the charge made on Thursday that
the paper with the signatures were all in the same
hand-writing, and which was the reason of its being
| called an impudent forgery To bin mind it was the
i name thing if his name was attached to a paper by
his authority, in the Land-writing of another, as if he
bad wntten it himself. Again, if th* paper waa a
ropy of the original memorial, the establishment of
thut fact would be proof of its authenticity.
He thought it would be a little strange to argue
against the authenticity of the Bible Cause ; we
were unable to lay our hands on the original paroh
j menta as they came from the hands of the patri
archs, prophets nnd apostles, although these parch
i meats have been copied millions of tunes, and been
translated into various languages, there were but a
few who doubted the genuineness of the Bible on
that account.
Mr. Harlan proceeded to tell who James H. Lane
is. The first fact about him was that ho was a
Democrat, not by conversion, for he seemed to
have been conceived and brought forth a Demo
crat. His father, Amos Lane, was twice Speaker
ot the Indiana House of Representatives, on the
Democratic sid**, a member of Congrens, and a
wheel-horse of Gen. Jackson’s administration.
Mr. Harlan proceeded to trace the career of Col.
Line, from his appointment as Post Master under
Van Buren, down to the present time. He stated
hie service* in the Mexican war, and alluded to his
having been n Democratic elector for Pierce and
i King.
At one o’clock the Chair called np the special
order.
Mr. Douglas moved to postpone the consid
eration of the special order, so as to let Mr.
Harlan finish bis remarks. When ho could obtain
the floor he intended to object to the reception of
the papers presented by Mr. H., and stated that
he was prepared to show conclusively that the
other petition was a forgery, to all intents and pur
poses.
Mr. Weller wauted to know when the Pacificrail
road bill would come up. Three weeks ago it had
been made the special order for to-day, and if it was
laid over uutil to morrow it would interfere with the
Senator from Alabama, 'Mr. Clay,) who had tlie floor
oo tho Kansas question.
Mr. Douglas urged that this pubject ought to bo
disposed of without delay, and his motion being
agreed to,
Mr. Harlan proceeded with his remarks, in the
course of which he alluded to Mr. Butler ns beiug
familiar with the names of Hector, Prinm and Ncs
tor, the heroes of the Trojan war. but said he seemed
to bo more ignorant of tho heroes who had fought the
battles of his own country.
Mr. Butler said that he had sometimes illustrated
h : s remarks by allusions to the Iliad, and he did not
know but that the exploits of the battle of Buena
Vista would be set to verse, and be styled the
Isiiniad. [Laughter.) He asked pardon of the
Bennfcor from lowa for using the word “ grava
men” in his remarks, for he said he knew about
as much of Latin as Mr. Harlan did of Euglish.—
[Laughter,]
Mr. Douglas stated the reason why he objected to
tho reception of the document that the Senate
had once rejected, and which it was now attempted
to ro introduce here. As to the Democracy of Col.
Lane ho had nothing to say, now that he had fallen
from grace. So were Francis IV Blair and Andrew
J. Donelson Democrats once, but no one would re
gard them os such now, when one of them wus a
Wider of the Black Republicans, and the other w««
tho Know Nothing candidate for Vice President.—
Ho called the document a forgery because it had
been materially changed since its reputed signers
saw it.
Mr. Wade replied to what he termed the pettifog-
Ing arguments of Mr. Douglas.
Mr. Pugh said that if the General Assembly of
Kansas should adopt the report of the committee of
supervision and send it ns prepared by them to the
.Seuate, properly signed and authenticated, it would
then he time enough to receive it.
Mr. Halo said that Col. Laue had been accused of
fraud or forgery and his character assailed by va
rious Senators/ What did Mr. Lane do ? He went
homo and prepared a statement explaining and vin
dicating his character, and praying that his former
memorial be received. The question was—Shall a
man who is accused bo heard in his own defence?
If th»» explanation should be deemed satisfactory,
then the Senate could decide upon granting his
prayer und receiving his memorial widen had been
rejected.
Mr. Wilson said that Mr. Douglass had indulged
In partisan catchwords unworthy of the Senate.—
The term Black Republican had been applied to the
friends of freedom But between this and that of
border ruffian Democrats, the former were ready
to take issue before the country. It was under the
malign influence of David Atchison, a border ruf
tian, that secret societies wore organized in Mis
souri to plant slavery in Kansas. The Senator from
Illinois said he would bent us down, blit he can sub
due us never. We shall have a majority of mem
bers here ami in the other House, and a man at the
other end of Pennsylvania Avenue, at the head of
the government of the country, conducting if on
true Democratic principles. [Laughter.] No doubt
of it
Mr. Douglas replied, explaining that he had used
the word subdue as applicable to the traitors and re
bel* in Kansas. Ho had used the word bfack to
designate the Republicans, because every clause in
their platform refutes to the negro question, and as
a substitute for defunct national republicans, what
more appropriate ? Those principles are sectional,
and not avowed in the slave States.
Mr. Wilson, interrupting, said he addressed a
large meeting in a City Hall, in Deleware, on Sat
urday, and luid down the doctrines of the*Republi
can party frealv and plainly, which were generally
assented to their. The Republicans claim that their
principles are natioual, and they will advocate them
m everv section of the Union.
Mr. bouglaa replied that he trusted wherever
avowed they will be as boldly avowed in the South
as in the North. As to the increase of Black Repub
lican members of Congress, it was accomplished by
fusion.
The Democratic Presidential candidate will take
Uaue with that of the Hlack Republicans of every
branch of the latter's principles, and will boldly go
before the country on the Nebraska and Kansas
act and the important doctrines ii involves, lie
refuted what he termed ambolition libels and foul
slanders on him, invented for partisan and mali
cious purposes, owing to his course on the Nebraska
and Kansas bill.
Mr Wilson, alluded to Hr. Douglass’ remarks
about amalgamation, said the charge usually comes
from mrr. with the odor of Nmnlgation «»u themselves.
[Laughter 1 He (Mr. Vv ilsonj knew no reason why
a mac, because feeble, should be degraded by un
just and unequal laws. He did not disown the name
of abolitionist. John Adam?, Jefferson,
Washington, Jay. Hamilton, Franklin, and the men
who formed the’Constitution and carried us through
the fire and blood of the revolution were aboiiu u
ista
The Republican party opposes slavery every

Mr Duugiac had n hard road to travel and would
realize that thor-e from w hom lie fought cannot afford
to be geuerout. and would find to be true the. re
mark of a once eminent politician, * gratitude is o
lively sense of favors to come. ’
Mr. Stuart deprecated the discussion of the deli
cate and exciting question of slavery here by those
whose openly avowed object is to the reins
of power. It has been seized with tue avidity, that
boufiTv hound? rush upou e carcase It grieved
him to see urgent busiius* of the country neglected
for such unworthv purposes. He thought the re
mark of Mr. Wilson, that “the South cannot bo
kicked out of the Union,” should have been re
served for some other place or occasion.
Mr. Wilson explained —I said that men who
threatened to diesoive the Union cannot be kicked
out. I did not use the word South, but I think we
•hall have no trouble.

The flouse theu resumed the consideration of the
Detliciencv bill.
Mr. Faulkner offered a resolution, which was
agreed to. that the vSecretnry of State furnish the
House with such information as may be in the De
partment of Bt.nte, in relation to the respective tariff
duties, restrictions, prohibitions, and custom-house
regulations, applicable to Amcricau tobacco iu the
principal countries in Europe.
The House passed the Senate bill, iu effect, to pay
the jurors in the Federal Courts in the District of
Columbia the same rate of compensation as is al
lowed in the U. S. Courts of the several States. It
gives the Jurors each £2 per day.
The House then went into Committee on the Sen
ate.’s amendments to the Deficiency Appropriation
bills, but did not dispose of them.
The House then adjourned.
IN' SENATE April IS.
tin motion of Mr. Seward, a resolution was
adopted, directing the Committee on Post Offi
ces to inquire into the expediency of establishing
a uniformity iu postage throughout the united

(>u motion of Mr. Sumner a resolution was adopt
ed instructing the committee on Patents to consider
the expediency of amending the Patent laws, so as
to allow the inhabitants of the neighboring British
Provinces to enjoy the benefits of these laws on
equal footing, iu all respects, with the citizens of the
United States.
The Senate proceeded to the consideration of the
bill to authorise and facilitate the construction of a
railroad and magnetic telegraph through the terri
tory of the United States from the Mississippi river
to the Pacific Ocean.
Mr. Well rr maintained the constitutional power
to ennstruet military and other roads through the
territory of the United States. Congress has fre
quently made direct appropriations of lauds for such
purposes. Three hundred and fifty thousand dol
lars have been expended to procure reports and sur
veys. which show that there are three or four prac
ticable routes for the proposed railrad, and he had
no doubt that tho country through which it would
pass would be found more productive than was
generally supposed. Ho did not intend to express
a preference (or any particular route. He waa un
committed in relation to it; uud his only desire was
to obtain the construction of a road.
The main trunk completed, branches would be
extended from it as the wants and necessities of
commerce require and demand. The committee
hud avoided the designation of any route. They
propose that the Secretary of the Interior, the Post
Master General and the Secretary of War shall ad
vertise for bids ; and when they shall be presented,
these gentlemen, under the direction of the Presi
dent, arc to determine which is the beet bid. It was
impossible foi the cominitteo to agree on a route.
The monev, he proceeded to show, invested in the
road, would yield thirteen per centum per annum,
and cheapd/the passenger faro from $250 to SIOO :
and by this means of conveyance, and the saving of
time iu travel, lor sixty thousand passengers, would
amount to more than $11,000,000. He showed the
great wealth of California, and the improvements
now in progress in that State ; and urged the pas
sage ot tho bill on tho general ground of necessity,
both as to trade and national defence, as well ns to
presene the union of the States.

From the Alta California, March 17.
From Japan.
C apt. Thomas W. Badger, late of the schooner
Gen. Fierce, arrived in this city by the Lookout on
Friday from Japan, via Hong Kong. He left Bi
moda in the early part of Jauuary. The Captain
visited Japan for a cargo to bring to San Francisco,
but while at Siuioda he had on opportunity to sell
the Gen. Pierce for $9,000, to a Hong Kong house,
and consequently proceeded here with bis vessel
and cargo. At Hong Kong he took passage, via
liiis city, for >\w York. We are indebted to
him for the following exceedingly interesting letter:
Uonq Kong, Feb. I.—Since the ratification of
our treaty with Japan, many improvements of a
permanent nature have been completed, and are
Ocing constructed at Simoda. worthy of notice. At
the mouth of the small stream on which SiiiK*da ie
situated, and extending acroea it from blaff to bluff
| on either side, the Japanese have built a solid
1 granite wail 1.300 yard? tong, and Infect high, with
n base of 33 feet thick, tarring to 21 fee t at the
top. Near the left bauk ot the stream, they have
left a narrow passage through this immense wall,
for the paso&ge of their juuks to the town. Junks
drawing more than eight feet of water are obliged
to author iu the bav. Tiie object of this dyke or
breakwater, the authorities say. ie to present a se
cond destruction of the town by the overflow of
the sea during the earthquakes peculiar to this
country. Ii may be doubted whether tins U the only
object of the work. By mounting a few iarge goes
upon it, its protection to the town against the in
vader would be as great as against the approach of
the sea.
In the town an immense building is being erected
as a bazaar. for the better display of their goods to
purchaser?. N«*arth‘- water they are erecting, and
ha vo nearly completed, a row of large warehouses,
for the storage of one! and merchandise. Along the
water front of the town has been built a large sub
stantial quav or mole, for the better landing and dis
charging of boats. The building of these facilities
at some future day : perhaps after the arrival of our
Council General, of whom and as to his probable ar
rival, the Japanese were exceedingly anxious.—
Even now. the merchants at Simoda are willing
and anxious to trade with us. but under the res
triciions of the officials, they are obliged to appear
indifferent. In one case, a merchant took less than
the government, paid for his goods, but request
ed me to bo extremely cautious in keeping it secret
from the officials, in my final settlement with them. ]
Though the authorities will not admit that we
have a privilege to trade with them according to the ;
treaty, still they are willing to sell their goods for
ready money a: their valuation of our dohar. We
are obliged to sell our dollar for 33j cents, thereby
enhancing the value of their goods to such a ruinous
price, that their willingness to trade amounts to
hardlv less than a prohibition, A few parties have
purchased small lots of their curious and elaborate
lacquered ware, even at this ruinous exchange,
hoping that the novelty, not the intrinsic value, of r
the ware may make the venture profitable.
The Japanese officials reported that on the 12th
December, five days previous to my arrival at Si
moda, another severe earthquake visited Jeddo, de
stroying houses and temples, burying nearly 3,000
people beneath the ruins.

An Eloquent Appeal*
In the House of Representatives on the 16th Inst.,
Mr. Oliver of New York, from the Committee on
Invalid Pensions, reported a bill for the relief of Mrs.
MaryE. Tillman, of Edgefield district, S. C., which
was read twice, when the Hon. Preston Brooks
made the following eloquent aud stirring appeal to
the House, in favor of its passage. We regret that
Mr. Mack's first proposition was not adopted, which
would have afforded inenns for tho education and
rearing of tho daughter in a manner more worthy of
the Government, in whoso cause the father and
brothel's sacrificed their lives. The bill was passed
without opposition, allowing her only twenty dol
lars per month. Wo copy from the SoMonol Intel
ligencer :
Mr. Brooks, of Bouth Carolina, eloquently aud
feelingly urged the immediate passage of the bill.—
It is (he remarked) the unanimous report of the com
mittee to which was referred the petition of Mrs.
i Tillman, widow lady of my district. When a requi
sition was made upon South Carolina for service iu
tho Mexican war, this lady gave to her country
every member of her family at the time, capable of
bearing anus—a husband and three sons. All went,
but not one returned to dry a mother’s tears w ith
the gallantry of her soldier boys. The bones of one
of this family now* lie at Saltillo, another fell at Ja
lapa, another lies buried by the castle walls of Pe
rote, and the lost found theclose of hie earthly ca
reer and youthful ambition at the capital of Mexico.
By a strange fatality, the only reuiuiuiugßon—a boy
too ysung to discharge the duty of supporting the
family in the abeeuce of his elder brothers—by an
accidental fall from his horse, injured bis spine, and
is now a paralytic for life. This lady is thus left, in
tho decline of life, with a helpless child, and a little
daughter entirely dependent on her exertions for
their aud her own support. This is the narrative
of her petition, and in it she pleads the hope that her
country will remember her sacrifices and requite her
services.
Os the facts stated iu her it was my mis
fortune to be a witness. Oue of her sons enlisted iu
the Alabama regiment; the father and tho remain
ing sons mustered iu tho service of the United States
iu a company under my own command. Considera
tions of personal attachment might possibly have
had an influence iu determining them to join tho
army; but the love of our friends is after oil but
another name for tho love of our eouutry. He who
is incapable of the first will surely be found recreant
iu the hour of hie country's need. The interest I take
in the passage of this bill ie but the pure reflection
of that friendship which that father and those boys
j bore to me, and it constrains me to do that for tLe
! mother which she will not do for herself. She ap
j peals not to vour charity, but to your magnanimity.
I appeal to both. I nek you to put bread in the
; mouth of tho widow and fatherless. She comes with
confidence, and, with the dignity of the mother of
these modern Gracchi, demands that her name shall
be recorded in the statutes of our country.
Mr. Mace, of Indiana, had examined the bill, and
it simply proposed to pay this widow eight dollars
per mouth. After the statement made by the gen
tleman from South Carolina he was unwilling that
the bill should give so miserable a pittance; and he
therefore moved that eight dollars per month l>c
stricken out and fifty dollars inserteu. At the in
stance of many gentlemen, however, he wort Id moll
ify his motion so os to make it s'2o a month.
The Sabbatarians in England *
Wr read In the Loudon papers an amusing no
count of a deputation from the West London Sun
day Rest Association, who waited upon Sir Benja
min Hall, M. P., Chivf Commissioner of Woods
and Forest, to order the discontinuance of the per
formances of the military band in Kensington Gar
dim, on Sunday evenings. These pious folks had
seen with horror several thousand of the working
classes listening to profane music in a fine public
garden, on the Lord’s day, and they threatened to
oppose the re election of Sir B. Hall to Parlia
ment, unless he at onoe put a atop to the practice.
The Chief Commissioner appears not to have been
at all terrified by their threats, but proceeded to dis
cuss the point with them. “Seventy-five thousand
persons,” he said, “had visited Kensiugton Gar
dens on a Sunday evening, and had behaved in a
most exemplary manner. Could the deputation
! prove they were worse Christians for so doing?—
For many years the military bands had played reg
ularly on Sunday to the inhabitants of garrison
towns. Could the deputation show that the resi
dents of those towns were more inclined to be law
; breakers than other people 7 If they wanted to do
| prive the people of every species of recreation on
: the Sunday, let them plainly say so.”
The members of the deputation had no statistics
|to show, they accordingly contented themselves
by saying that it was the firs* time in the annals of
the eountry that a Miuister of the Government had
! introduced an innovation, and the Lord only knew
where it would stop. The innovation was contrary
| to the inclinations of the people. Sir B. Hall re
minded the deputation that before the band played
! the number of visitors to the gardens on Sundays
was 7.000 or 8,000, which had been increased to
i 73,000. This fact appears to have disconcerted the
old fogies, and finding that Sir B. Hall would not
encourage tbfeir fanaticism, they shortly niVer with
: drew.

Flay Celebration In New York.
The anniversary of Henri Clat’s birthday was
■ celebrated by the Clay Festival Association, at the
Metropolitan Hotei. »w York, on the evening of |
the 12th ineL About one hundred gentiemen sat
down to the banquet, which was presided over by
Hon.E. Brooes, supported by Washington Hunt
and Ex-Senator Putnam. The latter gentleman re
sponded to the following toast, which was drank
with all die honors :
Millard Fillmore—Whet her occupying the chair
of State, or in the retirement of privato fife, the con
sistent friend of Heurv Clay, and the steadfast
champion of hie prim inks : ve heartily mingle his
name with the festivitiee of this occasion.
Mr. Putnam pas-ed a warm euiogium on the
patriotic career of Mr. Fillmore, and said :
He knows no North, no South, no East, no West,
but remembers that iu the folds of our flag are thir- j
ty-one stars, each rei resenting a free, sovereign,
independent State ; that iu the folds of that flag are
contained the of humanity and free institu- .
tious. He remembers that the best interests of hu
man progress and Christian civilization depend up
on the race filling its mission. He knows that the
great interests of society, and the development of
mankind, depend upor. governments formed of the
Anglo-Saxon race. He does not expect to see the 1
moral sun rise over the horizon of Africa. (Ap
plause.: He remembers that civilization and Chns
ria oily must go on conquering and to conquer under
thi government.
Deaths in Dalton.— The Dalton Exp**Uar of
the 17th inst. says : We regret to learn, as we are
going to press, that Judge Owen H. Kenon, a
resident of this city, died very suddenly on the eve
ning of the 16th inst.
We also learn that on one of the up-trains yester
day, a gentleman by the name of Austin, while
standing on the top of one of the cars, not noticing
their near approach to a bridge, was precipitated
from his position by a stroke on the head, which
broke his neck, instantly causing death. The train
following found the mangled remains of the unfortu
nate man.
A merchant at S. C-, has been de
tected and apprehended for being engaged in negro
stealing.
General WsJkrr and hit Army.
Tux news of the Nicaragua troops, under Colonel
Sca.i,EflfTNOtß, having been defeated by Moro, the
Coat a Rican General, is fully confirmed. The pri
soners that foil into Mofo’s hands have been shot,
aud it is evident that the C*»staßicaus have entered
upon a war to the death with the Americans. Gen.
Walker's position is stated to be very precarious,
as four thousand troops were marobing against him.
If be should fall into their hands bia life would not
be worth an hour’s purchase. The prowrees of the
Costa Ricans, however, U not very alarming, and
General Walker has proved himself so great in re
sources, that we yet hope to beer of his prevailing
over the enemy.
His gallant conduct in Sonora in 1363, and his
memorable attack on Rivas, in February 1865, when
with fifty-six Americans he fought some four hun
dred native troops, until his ammunition became
expended, when he cut his way through them with
a loss of only six of his men, while he left seventy of
the enemy dead on the field ; his battle with tho
Legitimists at Virgin Bay last August, when he de
feated a vastly superior force; and finally, his
march last October with 200 Americans and about
250 native troops, on Granada, and his taking the
city and garrison by surprise, are too fresh in our
recollection to warrant us iu believing that he can
easily be conquered. His forces at the present mo
ment cannot be less than fifteen hundred men, as
the three hundred from New York by the Orizaba,
aud the two hundred by the Charles Morgan, from
New Orleans, must ere this have arrived out. With
these men he can surely show a bold front to the
invaders. The readiness with which recruits would
flock to his standard fromjNew Orleans, New York
aud San Francisco, in order to prevent the native
half-breeds triumphing over civilization aud Ame
ricanism, can hardly have 4 been taken into conside
ration by the enemy. It is certain that tho delibe
rate assault which the Costa Ricans have made on
the Americans, and the blood-thirsty spirit they
have displayed butchering their prisoners,
call forth a feeling of indignation throughout the
land that cannot be repressed.
The usages of war have been wantonly set aside
by these blood-thirsty savages. Let it be borne in
mind that war had been formally declared between
Nicaragua aud Costa Rica, and all prisoners that
fell into thp hands of either party were fully entitled
to be treated with consideration. It will not avail
to raise the cry of filibusterism in this instance, as
was the case with Lopkz and his unfortunate com
panions in Cuba. Prisoners of war have been mur
dered. and their death should not be unavenged.
The Power of Money.
As knowledge has widened, and the aria, sciences
and manufacturers have advanced, the demand for
money has become more urgent, so that men desig
nate our times as the age of Mammon. More merit
would have been exhibited in determining why it is
so. The insatiate thirst for money, which is a stri
king characteristic of these latter days, must have
been excited by causes which have prevailed only
in modern times. But a generation or two ago peo
ple lived calmly in rural districts and troubled them
selves but little concerning monetary affairs, and
even in towns the competition that now exists was
unknown. The truth is, railroads havo brought the
country to the town, aud the motive power intro
duced with machinery, has taken from manual labor
its former avocations, aud manufactured a thousand
beautiful fabrics, where there were but few before.
Villages have grown into fine cities and the deni
zens thereof have fouud the imperative necessity of
having money to procure each article they require.
In former days they raised on their land the greater
part of the food they consumed, and their dress and
manners were simple. No wonder the power of
money is felt more keenly than in days gone by,
and that the pursuit of riches is the passion of the
age.
This fierce competition is total to morality, ond
frequently to life, and cells loudly for redress. Eve
ry year vice seems to goiu a firmer hold on large ci
ties, and tho number of reckless traders and aban
doned characters increase. A day and night passed
in the streets of New York or Philadelphia, must
warrant the conclusion that in a very few years they
will be inhabited by as large u class of desperate
persons as arc to bo met with iu London or Liver
pool. From ail bps the same savage cry for money
is raised ; money to buy food and clothes, and to
live decently in the world.
The truth is, that the chief cause of poverty and
crime existing in the world is tho want of money.—
The millions in Europe live from hand to mouth and
thousands of persons in this country annually swell
the ranks of the daugerous classes. \Yo have not
allowed money toiucreaso with tho requirements of
the age ; but have rather drawn forth its evil than
its good powers. Tbo miserable doctrine of the
Buchanan school of politicians that ten cents a
. day should be giveu to a laborer, or Horace Gree
ley's plan for clothiDg the working daises iu fus
tian, aud feeding them on bran bread, show the
subterfuge* to which meu of contracted views w*ill
have recourse when beset by a difficulty. There
are manufactured good clothes enough for everyone
and good food is raised to feed bounteously all the
world; but the money wherewith so purchase them
in sufficient quantities is wauling.
The dawn of better times will come when money
is the useful servant instead of tho master and ty
rant of mau. This can never be the case while we
are dependent on gold and silver as the sole repre
sentatives of value. Money should represent a
given proportion of the general wealth of a State,
and as the wealth increases so should the money in
exact proportion. In those days, payer money in
stead of being promissory notes must bo like gold
and silver, bona fide money, aud under tho direct
supervision of the State. Then trade would in
crease ten fold ; manufactories would flourish in
our midst, aud taxation would be taken from the
superabundance instead of the necessities of man.
The true powers of money have yet been hidden
from the sight of law makers.
To Planters, Farmers, Fruit-Growers, Nork-
Itaisers, Arc.
We commend to tho special attention of our Ag
ricultural readers, the following communication from
a Planter, in May number of Southern Cultivator ,
just issued:
Take the Southern “Cultivator."— Editors
Southern Cultivator. —l herewith hand you one
dollar, for which be so good as to continue to send
mo the Cultivator. There ie no paper thut I am in
the habit of reading that I read with more interest
than the Cultivator. It is to the Cultivator that I
am greatly indebted, for any improvement that I
have mode in agriculture, and that I have made im
provement from reading it I have not the least
doubt. I would be glad to sec it iu the hands of
every oue of my neighbors. Alas, however, there
are too many ot them that do not believe in “ Book
Farming.” I frequently ask them if they do not
learn Something from each other about farming
every time that ;hey meet 7 They tell me “yea."
I then ask them, why not learn still more, through
the Cultivator , from those who are for more intelli
gent, and better Planters than we are 7 They tell
me, “ Oh, there are a great many who write for the
papers that know nothing about farming.” I tell
them, that there is no Planter who is not capable of
imparting some instruction. It is hard to make them
believe this, and here I stop. You may consider
me a steady subscriber.
Very respectfully vours, W. E. M.

The Chontalks Gold Minks, Nicaragua.—
El Nicaraguense of the 22d ult., states that the par
ty of miners who had visited Rio Bola on a prospec
ting tour, report most favorably. In three days
they took out gold to the value of S3OO. Much of
the gold is coarse, and several lumps have been ta
ken out weighing about a half ounce each. The
party are in high spirits with the prospects before
them. The average yield during the time they have
been at work has exceeded $lO a day to the man.
It also states that Maj. Heiss, well known to the
mining community of the United States, as the part
ner of Commodore Stocktox in the famous White
hall gold mines of Virginia, has made an assay of
red dirt obtained from the Colonization Department,
and is satisfied from the extraordinary richness of
the same, that the above statement of the success
of the mines in Cbontales is not exaggerated. This
dirt was brought over from Cbontales by Judge
Campbell, anti was taken out nearthe head waters
of the Rio Mieo.
Murderer Arrested.—Tho Dalton Time*, of
the 17th inst., alludes to tho murder of Mr. Row
land, in McMinn county, Tenn., by a negro boy
named Jack, and some white accomplice. Jack was
arrested on suspicion, but the evidence not being
strong enough against him, he was discharged. Hia
owner, Mr. O. P. Hall, then sent him off to this
State and sold him. Last Tuesday Jack passed
through Dalton in toe custody of Cols. Callowat
aodMcCuLLT. Jack bad made a confession, and
stated that he and a white mac by the name of Wil
liams went to the atore at night and called up Row. j
land, and on entering the store Williams knock- !
ed him down and Jack cut his throat, they then
took tho money and divided it between them. Cir.
cuit Court for MoMinn is now in session at Athene,
Jack's case will, no doubt, be disposed of in a very
summon’maimer, and Williams, who is still in
MoMinn. will receive such attention as the evidence
wifi admit of.
The County Court of McMinn appropriated the
money necessary to purchase the boy from his Geor
gia owner, who purchased him from Mr. Hall.
Dr, Brownpon on our Religious Doom.—At
Hope Chapel, New York, on the evening of the 13th
ioet.. Dr. Brownson made a speech, in favor
of a Catholic Library Association, in which he
said: There are at least 3,000,009 Papists to the
United States, and their numbers entities them to
consideration. The Papists have to Romanise these
United States and make t his a Popish country. We
are now in as good a condition to make this a Ro
manist country as were the early Christians to offer
up sacrifices in the Catacombs, because they had no
other place. The country must be Romanized, and
the way to do it is by literature. ’’ Kind Doctor,
wait until we are sick, before yon prescribe such
medicine.
Particulars of Burning of Steamer Osprey.
—This fine steamer, as already reported, was burn
ed to the water s edge at her dock in Kingston, Ja
maica, on the 26th ult- Between 3 and 4 o'clock
that morning the inhabitants were aroused from
their slumbers by the clangour of the fire bell from
the parish ehurob, accompanied by the ominous
sound of the alarm drum. It was soon ascertained
that a fire had broken out on board of the steamer
Osprey. The fire, which had broken out, apparently*
amidship, soon spread from etem to stern. Fortu
nately, for the safety of the lower part of the city,
what little breeze was stirring blew off the land.
Boats having been procured, the burning vessel was
towed away from the wharf into the stream. The
fire originated through the upsetting of a oamphene
lamp.
Savannah Georgian.—Mr. J. G. Wright, tUe
proprietor of the Georgian, publishes a card in
which he states that during his temporary absence
from Savannah, his office was cloeed by the Sheriff,
not for any fault of his own, but owiag to circum
stances over which his control did not extend. Sub
scribers are requested to remain quiescent until fur
ther advice* from head-quarters. We hope eoen to
lean that the diffieuluy has been evereome.
Tbe Dttnorrßiir Pris.
Prominent among the lidates fen' nomination
at the Cincinnati Convention, stand Plerce, Buch
49av and Douglas. It is probable that before
Juno arrive*, otner Democratic champions will en
ter the riug; but at the present time they have not
shown themselves ready to come forward. We
doubt not that in many a Democratic bosom there
is au ardent desire to ‘save the country,” and occu
py tho White Housebut theh* native modesty
keeps them sileut. Governor Wise is still busy on
his dictionary cf choice epithets; Mr Marct is
writing State documents, that will, when spread out,
cover the whole surface of tho country—at least
with confusion ■ and Mr. Dallas is busy in Loudon,
studying special pleading, in order to be able to
cope, in some measure, with that master of the art.
Lord Clarendon, in tbe intricaoit* of the Central
American question, or recruiting his health Wore
enlisting his drooping energies in tbe Foreign Legion
business.
Mr. President Pierce has, like Othello a lieuten
ant, “one Michael Cassio,” so trifled with his repu
tation that his friends are not very sanguine about
his chance of nomination. When the question is
asked, “What is Frank. Pierce 7” tbe answer is so
inevitably “A Failure," that people arc at their
wits' ends to know on what platform to put him.—
His own platform has so rotted away under his feet
that he is In danger at any moment of falling
through. Ho has been a good friend to Sharpe's
Rifles, it ie true, and there is little doubt but that he
deserves the votes of all manufacturers of firo
arms for home consumption, as he must largely
have increased their business. He had the singular
advantage of succeeding to power, when tnanks to
the statesmanship of his illustrious predecessor,
every agitation had been calmed, and he has man
aged to unsettle everything. If he were not the
Great Failure, he would bt* entitled to the name of
the Great Unsettler. Our oouutry has produced
many bold men, but we question if it can possess
any hardy enough to make another trial of Pierce.
That drop of Democratic blood which gives cok»r
to Buchanan’s present political complexion is so
faint that it might easily be washed away in a storm.
Buchanan* is an aged Chamelion, who feeds less
upon air than place. He changes bis huo on every'
occasion, and as there was a shade of black in his
early days it is not unlikely, as men return to their
premiere amours, that Buchanan may die politi
cally of negrophobia. Forty odd years of time-serv
ing have weakened the Chameliou’s powers consid
erably, aud it would surprise us much to find that
he now had strength enough to transform himself
into a President.
S. A. D., the Little Giant, the famous author of the
Kansas-Nebraska Bill, the Squatter’s Sovereign, or
“Block Douglas,” is named as the representative
of Young America in the South. We marvel much
that Young America, after having named the Failure,
should venture to nominate another favorite.
Douglas, is as bold as youth aud full as rash, but
not as ingenuous. We know it is still a mooted
question whether the Kansas-Nebraska Bill was a
Southern or a Northern measure. To ensure squat
ter sovereignty was said to be the object, but still it
has failed to do so, and every emigrant who leaves
the South or North for Kansas goes to seek supre
macy for his party. Amalgamation of Southern aud
Nothern institutions in one State is viewed every -
where os an impossibility. It seems as though the
bill were a party-colored measure which might be
and is used either way os circumstances should de
termine. If the South should win, Douglas is with
them; if the North, Douglas is by their side. We
do not admire the Democratic pets.

Thf. Tornado at Philadelphia.— The damage
committed by the tornado iu Philadelphia, on the
night of the 12th, waft very serious. The brick
church, at Queen and Marlborough streets, had its
roof torn off. Damage about $3,000. The Web
ster Public School House was also unroofed. Dam
age $2,000.
The Kensington Depot of tho Trenton Railroad
had about oue-fourth of the roof torn off.
Tho large Presbyterian Church on Frankford
Road, above Frauklin street, has been partially
destroyed. Tho entire roof was stripped off, and
carried to great distances. The maiu damage to the
interior was, however, caused by the falling of the
gable wall. The bricks from which, falling inside,
crushiug the pulpit, and the tioor of tho audience
room down to the session room occupying the base
ment. The damage to the building canuot be less
than $ 1,000. Tho congregation held religious ser
vice yesterday in the Kensington Hall.
The most complete scene of destruction is that
presented at the Frookliu Iron W’orks of
Sulton Al Co., on the wharf. The boiler shop, a
frame structure 150 feet long by 50 feet wide, has
been levelled to the ground. Daring Saturday, not
lesfl than a hundred men were employed beneath it.
The building cost $5,000, exclusive of the machine
ry, which is supposed to be not much damaged.
Betting on Cotton.— The New York Evening
Post states that many thousand dollars have beeu
staked in that city, in bets on the amount of the
Cotton crop. Most of them are that the crop will
reach 3,500,000 bales. It mentions one bet of SSOO
between an operator from Mobile and a broker in
Wall street, and says that the dealers iu that city
are generally disposed to bet on three millions and
a half. There are also numerous bet 6as to prices—
those who risk their money on an amount over
3,500,000 being also willing generally to bet on a
decline in price*. Many parties were buying specu
latively for an advance.
Death of John Stevens, Esq. —This etima
ble citizen of Talbot county, Maryland, died on the
12th inst Mr. Stevens’ name had recently been
before the public, as having resolved to set apart
the handsome sum of eighty six thousand dollars to
provide for the purchase of a packet for the services
of the Liberian Colonization. A short time pre
vious to his unexpected sickness and demise ho was
informed that the donation would be required, and
immediately transferred that sum to the Coloniza
tion Society. He was then in good health, aud an
ticipated seeing the ship built and employed upon
her benevolent mission. With a wise forethought,
however, he completed all the necessary legal forms
of transfer without delay, and in his last sickness
repeatedly expressed his satisfaction that the de
sire of hie large heart had beeu secured beyond con
tingency.
It Is said that Mrs. Stows, the author of Uncle
Tom's Cabin, will soon put to press a work illustra

Liberal Offer.—The N. Y. Express vouches
for the truth of a story which it tells concerning a
millionaire of the Fifth Avenue, who met Mr. Bar
num in the street a few days since, and invited him
and his wife to take up their abode in his mansion
for as long as they pleased. It is not stated wheth

Men of Free* and Men of War*
TBi tone of the English press is significant of the 1
power of Box afa rt ism in Europe. It salutes peace
with a savage growl, but uevertboiees it has to sa
lute it. The bitter piU has to bo swallowed. In
oooutiug up the looses oud gains, it is said that En
gland has lost thousands of men and millions of
money, tHTiously damaged her military renown;
but she has gained experience. France has lost
fearfully of men and treasure ; but she has gained
giory. Russia, it is sought to show, has suffered in
every way, and a direful picture is drawn of her
sacrifice of half a million lives, her bankrupt ex
chequer and her cravings for peace. The great loss
Vo Russia is the death of her illustrious Czar, and
the fact that hia eon, Alexander, has given no
proof of beiug possessed of las father’? indomitable
spirit Alexander, as far as we can judge, is a
man of peace; he listens to the counsel of his wife
aud the aged men of the nation, and like his nanse
boke and uncle, is willing, for a time, to play the
part oi a poor second to the master of Franee.
The war spirit that has been aroused in the world
cannot be lulled to rest by the signing of peace trea
ties. The Russian uation has not relinquished its
determination to eventually conquer Constant ino
plo, and the Czar’s brother, the Grand Duke Coh
stantine, may have received his name in a pro
phetic hour, and prove himself the victor of the city
after which he is named. To talk of Russia being
subdued aud her onward march being checked for
a generation, is to talk imbecility. The men of peace
iu Russia are to be counted by units, and the men of
war by millions.
In the Council Chamber of Austria men of peace
and patrons of chains prevail, and the shop keepers
of Vienna, doubtless, look forward to pacific times
iu the hopes of gaining Increase of trade ; but iu
Hungary and in Austrian Italy the revolutionary
element is strong, and the war party in tho ascen
dancy. Prussia’s king is averse to war, but Prus
sia’s people look forward to better times and see not
how to gain them except by force of arms. A peace
party, headed by the King of the Belgians, the Roy
al family of Prussia, and the Prince Consort of Eng
land hold a certain influence in Europe, and attempt
to check the war spirit. Tho object of King Leo
pold is to advocate peace in order to prevent Bel
gium being annexed to France; the motive of j
Prince Albert is to presen e monarchy in England j
where it is every day becoming more in disrepute, i
for the people know that the sovereign who is so '
complete a cypher, that she can do no harm, can j
really do no good ; tho desire of the reigning fami- '
ly of Prussia is doubtless to prevent Russian or
French supremacy.
England, apart from the palace and the small states- |
men who have found themselves utterly unequal 1
to cope with the war, has no patrons of peace except
the Manchester school of politicians. Tho peoph- ■
bate despotism and oligarchism, and would willing
ly fight on to crush one or both. Those who have
the ambition to see England always the dominant
power in Europe, w ould also wage war until Russia
was really humbled.
Tho revolutionary fire that is smouldering in Italy,
Sicily and Spain, may burst forth witli terrible vio
lence at the first propitious moment. France has not
a man of peace for her ruler, however much his
tongue may belie the assertion. Bonapartism
means conquest and plunder as fully to-day as it did
half a century ago, and the vast majority of the na
tion would never have tolerated its revival had
they not have translated it to mean glory with all its
ci cetera*. If Louis Napoleon were a statesman,
he might conserve peace in Europe for one or two
years, but as he is nothing but a military despot and
a servile copyist of a great warrior, the present year
will iu all probability witness war renewed with in
creased purpose and intensity.
Byrd, thb Neoro Stealer.— -The Sumter (S.
C.) Watchman , of the 16th inst., give full details of
the case of Byrd. It appears that Col. F. 1. Moses,
of Sumter, having missed two of his slaves, suspi
cions were fixed upon Wm. Friendly Byrd, who
kept a store in tho town. It was soon after dis
covered that the two negroes had been sold to a
gentleman in Americas, Ga. Mr. Hooks, the pur
chaser, finding that he had been victimized, yielded
them up, and returned with the parties to Sumter,
on the Bth inst. Entering the store of Byrd &
Louie, the same evening, he recognized in Mr.
Byrd the man from whom he had bought tho ne
groes. Byrd was at once arrested, by the Sheriff,
and locked iu iuil. The Grand .fury, on tho follow
ing day, returned a true bill against him, and his
trial was to take place last Monday. When the
Jailor opened the door of the cell on the morning
appointed for the trial, the prisoner was found sus
pended from the iron grating of the window, with a
sheet twisted into a rope and tied about his neck.
His hands were fastened by a handkerchief behind
his back. A physician was called in, but life was
found to be extinct. Some letters which he had
written to his w ife, imploring her to send him poi
son, were found in the cell. A Jury of Inquest had
returned a verdict in accordance with the above
facte.
■ A Human Horn.—Dr. Porcher, of Charleston,
has in liis possession a horn, about seven inches in
length, and in diameter two inches and three quar
ters, bearing a close resemblance to a ram's horn,
which be extracted from the head of a negress, aged
about 52, born on a plantation in St. Jolrns Berkley,
S. 0. The tumor commenced forming Borne eight
years since, with a swelling and discharge, aud, after
a while, a gradual increase in size. During the four
months preceding ite removal, it grew some two
inches, and having, in curving around, reached the
face in the temporal region,.just to the left of one
eye, and having commenced to produce suppuration
•f the skin with which it had come in contact, its
immediate removal was necessitated. Its removal,
which was done in December, 1854, in the presence
of Dr. D. J. Cain, and several students of the
Charleston Preparatory Medical School, was accom
panied with comparatively little pain. It was
found, upon examination afterwards, that somo re
mains of the original growth remained, aud there is
some probability that it may iucreose in size and
again require removal.
Small PuX in Talbotton.—A letter from Tab
botton to the editor of the Columbus Enquirer ,
mentions the death of Mr. Jas. L. Callikr, "one
of the most enterprising and worthy’' merchants of
Talbotton, from Confluent small pox. Since the
time of his attack, the writer says that “all ueoessa
ry precaution has been observed to protect every
member of the community, and that there is no
earthly necessity for the free communication with
Talbotton being interrupted.'’ No more cases had
occurred up to that writing (11th.)
Another letter four days Inter, (15th,) says :
“some fears existed as to the small pox in that place
—two of Mr. Callikr's negroes are complaining,
mid have been sent to the hospital.We hope
soon to hear of the absence of all complaints and all
cause of fear from so loathsome a disease among our
Talbotton friends.
The Steamer David White Sunk.—The steam
er David White, Capt. McGill, which left Louis
ville on the 11th inst, bound for New Orleans, took
fire in the hold, when about six miles above Golcon
da, on the night of tho 13 v th. The steamer Niagara,
Capt. H. J. Spotts, went to her assistance, and im
mediately turned two streams of water into the
hold, but tho flames still gaining ground, it was
deemed necessary to scuttle her. Capt. Spotts
thinks tho boat can be raised. The Niagara has
saved about SIO,OOO worth of the White’s cargo,
and could have saved $50,000 worth had she not
been scuttled, which would, however, have in
volved the entire destruction of the boat. There is
no doubt that both the boat and cargo would have
proved a total loss, but for the assistance of the
Niagara. The cargo was insured in Louisville to
the amount of $40,006. The boat was also insured i
for $15,000.
A New Horse Shoe.—The Philadelphia oorree j
pondent of the Baltimore American says :—A new J
horse shoe, that requires no nails and can be put on j
by any one without the aid of a blacksmith, is on j
exhibition in this city. Attached to tho shoe is a |
flange extending around the hoof, and at the back j
of the shoe, which lies over the frog of tho horse ’s j
foot, is a joint, held in its place by a screw, which j
allows the shoe to open and close, so as to accora- *
modate itself to the size of the hoof. Between the j
hoof and the plate is placed a layer of gutta percha,
for the purpose of preventing injury to the hoof or
leg of the horse by concussion while passing over >
hard roads or streets. These shoes are also furnish
ed at about one-half the price of the ordinary shoe, j
Death gtGkorok G.Foster.— George G. Fos
ter, editor of the Philadelphia Daily Timet, died a',
bis residence in that city, on the 16th inst., of brain
fever. He was forty-five years of age. He com
menced hie literary career in the West, but first be
came prominently known by his light, fanciful and
spirited paragraphs in the city item department of
the New York Tribune. Afterwards he wa« connect
ed at various periods, with the North Amenta*
and Daily Sun of Philadelphia, the Sunday Conner
and Day Bhok of New York, and other journals.—
His sketches, bearing the titles of “New York in Sli
ces,“ “New York by Gaslight,” were widely read
as they firet appeared, and afterwards, also, in book
fona.

There is always a merit in the traveller who will
leave tho beaten track aud explore regions whose
every scene hua not been stereotyped on the \ ub •
mind. With Franco, Switzerland, Italy and tho
Khiue, we are almost too well acquainted, and uu
lesa a writer possessed a very original mind, nothing
new could be said of them. The volume before us
details the travels and adventures of a New tog
land gentleman, who visited the Island of Mud- ia
in tho autumn of 185-2, and then voyaged to Li*’.on
and other cities of Portugal uud aft ei wards Sojourned
in the southern portion of Spain and vanted Gibrnl
tar. He describes, in a very agreeable maimer, the
romantic scenes through which he parsed, troubling
himself but little with politics; he relates hi* adven
tures with the fair Spanish ladies with u naivete that
is quite refreshing. Spain is still thu land of ro
mance, and if we may ciodit our travcHor, few men
I since tho days of Joseph have been so sorely tempt

the appearance of the work before us We havo
given it a careful examination, and find it admira
bly adopted to our climate and modes of cultivation. *
Indeed, we consider it altogether indispensable to
the Southern Gardener and Fruit gi*>wer ; and from
the vast amount of varied information which it non
tains, it will also be found of great interest to the
general reader. We suppose our Bookseller® will
soon have it for sale; but, in the meantime, it muy
be ordered from either the author or .publishers.

A scathing review of the political career of ilia
Hon. James Buchanan appears in the Pennsylva
nia Advocate # Tress, from which wc make the fol
lowing extracts :
Mr. Buchanan entered political life in 1813 ns a
rank Federalist, and by the Federal party wua elec
ted to the Legislature of the State.
Id 1820 he was the Federal candidate for Congress,
and was elected over the democratic candidate by
976 majority.
In l&fci, 1824 and 1826, he was again returned,
but his majorities becoming less each time, and hi® fi
delity to the Federal party being doubted, he had to
declare that “if lie hau a drop of democratic blood iu
his veins he would open them and let it out."
Two year* after this he changed Ins coat and .be
came a full blooded democrat, and van for Cong res*
us the deinoei atic candidate, and was elected by
virtue of Gen. Jackson’s popularity. He waa afraid
to run a second term.
In 1848, in the U. H. Senate, he made a speech ad
vocating the principle that Ten Cents was u suifi
cient compensation for a day’s labor. Hence ho i«
called ‘‘Ten Cent Jimmy."
In 1845, he became Secretary of State under Polk’®
administration, and consented to give awav about
half of the Territory of Oregon to the British Gov -
eminent, after he had proven that they had not a
spark of title to it.
His tergiversation on the slavery fpiestiou u thu®
set forth :
In 1819 at a meeting in Lancaster, i*e reported
resolutions favoring resistance to the extension of
slavery, and the admission of the State of Missouri
as a slave State.
In 1847 he wrote to the democracy of Beiks i cun
ty, saying that the Missouri Compromise had given
peace to the country, und that instead of repealing
it, he whh in favor of its extension and iriahitefmm. -•
In 18,52 he wrote to Mr. Leake, of Virginia, con
cerning Fillmore’s Compromise measure s of 1850,
which had been passed by Congress, and suid “ that
the volcano has been extinguished, and thy muu who
would apply the firebrand to the combustible mate
rials still remaining will produce an eruption that
will overwhelm the Constitution and the Union."
On the 28th of December, 1855. about tire*
mouths ago, Mr. Buchanan, in a letter to John Sli
dell, of says.- “The Missouri Compro
mise is gone, and gone forever. It has departed.—
The time for it has passed away, and the lie®!, nuy,
the only mode now left of putting down the fanuti
cal and reckless spirit of the North is to adhere to
tho existing settlement without the slightest thought
or appearance of wavering, and wit hout regarding
any stonn which may be raised agaiiwt it.”
No public man has exhibited greater dexterity in
shifting with the popular tide than Mr. Buchanan ,
and we can hardly conceive there can be found a
political party willing to confide to him the govern
ment of the country.
Florida War—Further Pitrtlculnra.
I It appears that the party of volunteers who went
I' in pursuit of the Indian* who attacked Dr. Bar
den’s residence on the Manatee on the 6th jnst
wan composed of Capt. Addison with seven men
When the Indians were discovered a portion of
those commands crossed the creek, and churned the
Indians in the rear, while the remainder halted on
the opposite side ; thus completely Hurroundiug the
enemy. Three Indians did not escape, as before
stated; all of the seven, save the two who ware
shot at the first fire on the party, threw themselves
into the creek, and are supposed to have drowned
! The water was reddened for some distance b.-low
. the place of nttack, by the blood oozing from the
II wounded Indians. One of the Indians who was
scalped was not instantly killed—but mortally
wounded. He could talk very good English—de
sired to be taken ton doctor—said that Okchaa, the
sub-chief who led the attack on tbo 18th January,
I near Fort Denaud, met them there ; that the Indian
pony captured belonged to Okchau, and that lie
lumped luto the creek. He also said that Hilly
Bowlegs had as many warriors as he want' d—that
he (Billy) had sent him to Manatee to capture the
negroes.
After sounding the Creek, the bottom of which
could not be reached with “a ten foot pole," and
burying the Indian baggage, which would have
loaded a wagon, the party started to Manatee with
the negroes, mules, and wounded Indian. They
had not proceeded many paces, however, when the
Indian fell, and was unable to preceed further
He was then ordered to be ehot, which order was
obeyed.
The above are all the additional details given by
the Peninsular.
The same paper mentions that about forty oiti •
zone of Manatee were last week mustered into the
service of the State by Gen. Jesse Carter, under
command of Capt. John Addison.
