Florida appears to have become fully alive to tho

tributary of the Atlantic, and runs westward sixtv
miles to Alligator, Columbia county, where the line
is taken up by another Company and carried still
further westward to Tallahassee, eventually to be
■ extended to .Pensacola- The road fust mentioned

these roads, by a vote of the citizens, empowering

* bill was resumed.
Mr. Bell, of Tennessee, expresseddoubU whether
. this large amount could be properly expended with
in the present year. He thought it would be better
. to niak** only a small appropriation now.
Air. Weller argued that the whole sum ought to be
appropriated forthwith hr yrder to lie used most
. advantageously.
i Mr. Hale opposed the bill thinking that the guns
to be refitted with percussion loekH and maynurd
primers would not bo at all comparable with breech
loading rifles. He was of the opiuioii that they
i would not oe serviocgbje in hot weather. He also
- condemned such a large expenditure jn a time of
; peace and advocated economy. He thought the
, administration should not be held responsible for
largo appropriations. Congress hud inadp them
sometime* in opposition to the repommendution of
I tlx? Executive.
Mr. Hale replied that if the Democratic party had
f not controlled Congress pretty generally, and the
- Senate in particular, for a good many years past,
f they were not to be held responsible. These large
expenditures of seventy or eighty million dollars uu
* mildlyi ought to arrest the attention of tlie people,

Yesterday, when the bill to remit or refund vno ,
duties paid on all good* and merchandize destroyed *
by fire, in original packages, was before the House, a
tlie question was raised that as the bill proxided that t
the O'xmmisaionofw. to Jsettle the«e claim*, should t
issue certificate®, which should be cashed bv the
Secretary of the Treasury, it must necessarily be
committed under the rule requiring that all measures
making appropriations shall receive their first con
sideration in Committee of the Whole. The
Speaker had decided that as further legislation
would be necessary before money could be paid un
der this bill, the rule did not apply in this case ; but
this decision was overruled by 11 majority.
This morning Mr. Watson moved a re-comodera
tion of that vote, which led to some- debate.
Mr Phelps condemned the hot haste exhibited to
pass the bill. No one could assert how much money
was involved. Rumor said from ten to fifteen mil
lions of dollars.
Mr. Felton explained, that from the best informa
tion he had obtained, the amount of duties to be re
funded would exceed three or five hundred thousand
dollars.
Mr. Phelps thought, that including San Francisco,
with ail the other fires for the last sixteen years,
covered by this bill, the amount would be far
greater. The New Vork fire of July, 1845, alone in
volved $350,000.
Mr. Phelps contended the bill directed the Secre
tary of the Treasury to pay the money, being, in ef
fect, an appropriation for that purpose.
Mr. Harlan said the Speaker’s decision yesterday
was right, though the bill came here under suspi
cious circumstances. It detailed that the holders of
certificates of adjudged losses shall be paid, but con
ferred no authority upon the Secretary of the Trea
sury to pay them.
The Constitution declares the President shall re
ceive an annual salary, but nobody thought the Sec
retary of the Treasury could pay liim without a spe
cial appropriation. So in tbk case.
The vote overruling the Speaker's decision was
reconsidered by a vote of 74 to 71.
Mr. Harlan explained that in making the remark
that the bill came here under suspicious circum
stances, he had no reference to the committee who
reported it. but to “outside combinations.”
Further debate ensued, in which Messrs. Davis of
Maryland, Ollngman, Orr, Washburne, of Maine,
Humphrey Marshall, Walker, Simmons, Letcher,
Seward and Quitman participated, but without
taking the question, the House adjourned till Mon
day.
illicitly Important from Nicaragua,
By the steamer Label, which arrived in Charles
ton on Sunday night, the Courier received tLe fol
lowing letter, w hich, if authentic, would certainly
prove that Gen. Walker has won a great victory
over the Co»ta Kieuns:
Month of the River Serakapce. mi the San Juan
River, April 2o, 1856.— Messrs. Kditors: The “Ni
caraguenae" of the 19 th inst. contains a record of the
events which have transpired in Nicaragua. At the
battle of Rivas, on the 11th inst., (the account of
which is very correctly given in that paper, and of
which particulars doubtless have reached you,) the
Costa Ricans lost killed and wounded near seven
hundred uien.
This is confirmed by reports received at the isluud
of Amatgpep, tv, plvp mile# dis£anpe from on
the 19th. The Costa Ricans admit four hundred
and fity killed and two hundred and fifty wounded.
The N icasaguense ulso contains the affidavit made
before Col. J. 11. Wheeler, our Minister from th«
United States, in relation to the murder of a number
of American citizens at Virgin Bay: also the procla
mation of President Mora, in winch the war-cry is,
death to all Americans in Central America. The
English uro at the bottom of this movement, us
wilTbej*epu frqiq ihe poi responding forwarded by
the last steamer.
On the 10th instant a battle between two hun
dred Costa Ricans and thirteen Americans took
place, at the mouth of the Serakapec river. The
enemy were badly beaten, having lost twenty
seven in the tight, while the Americans only lost
one. There is now stationed at the mouth of that
river about eighty of the American troops.
A courier arrived at Granada from Rivas on the
18th, who stated that the Costa Ricans were una
ble to bury the dead killed in battle, and that the
atmosphere hud fippu infected by their decompo
sition. The cholera had broken out with great
violence, and they had been compelled to abandon
the city. It was stuted that thirty two Costa Ri
cans died from that disease on the evening of the
15th inst.
General Walker had a force of seven hundred
Americans pi Gfttuipla, qnd uix hundred native
troops were op pipir njarcli from Leon, ou the 18th,
to reinforce him. With the now recruits (three bun
died in number) that came out underGeu. Hornsby,
and who were at Castillo ou the 20th, Geu. Wulker
will be enabled in two weeks, to drive every enemy
of Nicaragua out ot the country, and conquer Costa
Rica in the bargain.
411 the Northern states are quiet. They have ac
cepted thp Retype propositions of the Nicaraguan
government; and will take no steps to invade
Nicaragua, fliey haye also (fiseoutiuued enlist
ments, and disbanded uiftiiy troops already organ
ized.
Everything now looks prosperous for the cause,
and the success of Walker is beyond doubt. With
the recruits thut came out a few days since in the
Orizaba and Charles Morgan, Gen. Walker will
have 1100 American aud 1(HM) native troops. In the
course of a >yeels. lie will march on Virgin Bay,
Rivas and San Juan, all the points held by the ene
my, and exterminate them, that is if they do not
“make tracks” for C*>sta Rica in “quick time”
as soon as they learn that Walker has been rein
forced by 500 American troops.
Tht* California passengers could not get through,
ami about 250 of thpm started for Fanada ; determin
ed to take a ‘*hand in the sjM>rt,” if their services
would be accepted. Walk** l ' will follow the enemy
into Costa Rica, and make that government pay
dearly the penalties of this war, Their force in Ri
vas at the commencement of the battle was 2000,
which were reinforced during the fight by 250 from
Virgin Bay. They had 500 troops stationed at Vir
gin Bay and 500 at Sun Juan del Sur, 3,000 in all.—
There is no doubt of the correctness of this nunicer
of men under their command. Americano.

Vfiladelphia, April 25.—Mr. Buchanan was met
at Trenton llijg morning on his way to this city by a
committee of his friepd#, and on arriving at Walnut

He was formally welcomed to the cjfv by a oommit
teeof citizens headed by IJon. Josiali Randall, after
which, he was conducted to the Merchants’ Ex
change, the interior of wliioh was decorated with

which Mr. Buchanan responded in his happiest
style, eliciting the applause of his hearers. After
his reception at the exchange, he was conducted to
the Merchants’ Hotel, which wus besieged by troops
of his friends and admirers.
Mr. Buchanan, in responding to the address, said
he felt as if his foot was again on his nativo heath,
and was rejoiced to find that, in the opinion of his
fellow-citizens, ho had not discredited his country,
nor her principles. He bad ever acted as lie felti
ng an American. He hud often been asked, if there
was danger of war between England and the Uni
ted States, and replied no, because he felt that the
British people yoqld never consent to involve them
selves in a conflict regarding a question on which
they knew we had tjie rigid tide. Ife felt no pre
sent apprehensions, but if an insult >yas offered, we
have millions of energetic free people to maintain
our eauKO. He wus pleased to say that during his
embassy he had ever received manly aud courteous
treatment, with much tolerance in regard to expres
sions of opinion.
Mr. Buchanan will meet his friends and the citi
zens generally in Independence Square to morrow.

Fire.
A sirs. occurred between two and three o'clock
yesterday (Saturday) morning, in a two-story wooden
house on Marbury street, near the Cotton Factories,
owned and occupied by Thomas Lfckey as a
dwelling and grocery, which, with its contents, was
entirely consumed. Insured in the Georgia Mutual
for SI,OOO on the house and $1,200 on the stock.—
The one story wood building adjoining, owned and
occupied by Mathf.w Shf.kro.v as a dwelling and
grocery, was next consumed, with its contents, (no
insurance,) and the oue-story building next adjoin
ing, owned by B. H. Warren, and occupied by—
Davis, as a grocery and dwelling, with its con
tents, was also consumed. We did not learn that
there was any insurance on tins building or the
stock. The flames communicated with the block
of Factory dwellings on the opposite side of the
street, occupied by the operatives, about two-thirds
of which were destroyed. Loss about $ 1,000. No
insurance. What amount, or whether any of the
furniture of the occupants was destroyed, we did not
learn. The origin of the fire is not known, though
there is a suspicion of incendiarism.
The firemen were on the spot as promptly as pos
sible, and did most efficient service, but owing to
the distance they had to go to reach the fire, much
of the property was destroyed before they arrived.
Since the above wus in type, we have learned
that among the sufferers by the tire at the operative
houses, there was one case that excited universal
sympathy. We refer to Mrs. Lockwood, u very
worthy woman, who hud seen better days. Hav
ing not very long tyinov 10-t her husband, and then a
daughter who supportcd herself by teaching school,
she moved into one of the Factory buildings and
some of her children were employed in the Factory.
Her house was very neatly furnished, and lEfirself
and children well provided with clothing ; but the
fire destroyed everything. Three hundred dollars
would not replace her Jogg. We tr-uut the benevolent
iu ou* community will cleerfully contribute to her
necessities, so that at least she may be able to go to
house-keeping ugain, and once more be in the way
of independence by means of her own lnl jor and that
,pf her children.
Mauilest Destiny.
There is no more remarkable characteristic of
the present age tbau the hold which destiny has
upon the public mind. The cry that it is impious
aud unchristian, will not prevent the acknowledge
incut of the fact, that the belief in destiny is deep
rooted. Young America looks towards Cuba, Mex
ico, the Central Ainericun Republics aud South
America and smiles complacently while he mur
murs; ‘‘Manifest Destiny bus willed that you shall all
be annexed to the United Stokes.” Homilies, ou
the blessings of content fall from old fogy
pens in vain. Young Aflb|p*ica has not reach
ed his destined growth, and he must expand, is the
reply. Obstacles there may be in the way, but ob
stacles were ouly raised to be surmounted, and earn
estness and faith must succeed.
The belief iu destiny is as old us faith itself. The
founder of the Israelitiah race was remarkable for
the couviptiou impressed an UL mind that he wan
destined iu raise a peculiar people to the summit of
humau power. The Egyptians, Greeks aud Romans
believed that their oracles spoke with the voice of
fate. Mohammed aud all his followers huvo been
fatalists. Iu the dark ages of Christendom, when
the Romish church rose to power, it is certain, that
as its influence spread, faith seemed to die out, for
the votaries of that religion hud only appeals made
to their senses, or threats used to uppul their craveu
spirits. Credit our iufallability, or be accursed
forever and ever, was the dogma, und in order to
accomplish this, it wus sought to encourage people
to have all the vices of men, and all the ignorance ®f
children. Thought wus under ban for generations,
until Luther cast aside his gross sensuality aud his
monk’s cowl, aud appeared as the champion of free
dom. Suaksteare began to write, uud the world
to think, and faith in mail’s sublime destiny grew
strong.
From the darkness of barbarism iu the north of
Europe,[a man of iron will came forth, who won
the uome of Peter the Great. His faith was in
the proud future of his family aud his race, and the
inheritors of his crown have shown themselves wor
thy of she destiny he bequeathed to them. From
the rude isle of Corsica, a pjiijd of destiny issued,
who defied death on a hundred battle-fields—who
mude the thrones of common men tremble, aud
who established uu empire that recalled the grand
eur of the Csesars. A child, banished from Paris,
his birth-place, climbs the grand mountains of Swit
zerland, and deems it would beaseusy to rise above
ordinary men ns above the level earth ; a belief iu
his great destiny seizes possession of his soul, and
after years of tortuous climbing, the world hears of
Napoleon" the Third.
Equally remarkable has been the influence of
men of destiny in England. Carlyle hus spoken
with the power of a thousand oracles, aud has done
more to emancipate men from the thraldom of ages
than any living being ; Bulwer has shadowed forth
the workings of destiny in all the most brilliant of bis
composition#, and alluded to the revolution that
must come ; and Pisjiaeu, in his boyhood, pro
claimed that he was destined to become a great
statesman. The men of mere expediency, like the
ate Peel and the present Russell, Gladstone
aud Palmerston, have brought discredit and shame
lupou their country by their want of faith either in
themselves or the future of their country. If Na
poleon the Third should attemptto invade England,
it is probable that Disraeli, or some other man of
destiny, would rise to supreme power to check liis
caiyef .fho groundwork of dcstiuy is faith, which
is always sutifiiq.e ia said to be a very
melancholy belief, wheu a man knot's; ijityl hf
reached the culmiuutiug point of his career, uud that
beuceforth he must recede : but surely it is far bet
ter thut he should know this, tbau that he should
continue to place himself ou the public scene
whea be has nothing left but his reputation.

should be froudd rpjjud the waist of America ; it
would make her up gepfeej ami n* full of health as a
Northern belle ; she was becoming fop kxty for
Dr. Bulwek's idea of grace, aud the buudage
should be fastened very tightly. “Bandages are

was agreed that w* pap frandage should be wound
as tight as the other, and a very prewy quarrel arises
on this point, which is called .the Central American
Question. While the doctors are disputing on tech

while the bandage round England's toe, whether

A Peace or a Trace.
While the salvos of artillery and the clanging o
bells have proclaimed to Europe, that the Eastern
war has come to a close, while some English jour
nals are appearing in mourning, and France and
Russia are fraternizing like brothers in anna, it be
comes a question of some moment, whether peace or
war hovers in the future. When the late war burst
forth, it was the opinion of many, that the fighting
would be limited to Russia and Turkey; the Eng
ligsh Government was known to be averse to war,
and as for France, people were then in the habit of
vastly underrating the importance of her ruler.—
Now, Louis Napoleon i 9 recognized as the chief
personage in Euroja*, and we look to him for an an
swer to the enquiry.
He is disbanding a portion of his army, and pra
ting about the blessings of peace. Shall we take
confidence in these things, and implicitly believe,
like Jamks W atson \Y ebb, that he is a truthful and
most illustrions prince, or shall we judge by the
words that fell from his lips when he was in poverty,
and by his salient deeds ? The latter appears the
wiser course, and we follow it.
Courage even to/audacity, obstinacy almost to
blindness and man’s meanest attribute, the power
of imitation, carried to the wildest extent, with a
faith in a mighty future which no adversity could
daunt, were the leading characteristics of Louis
Napoleon in bis earlier years. The glories of the
empire aud the wrongs of the Emperor were treas
ured by him, and he deemed himself destined to re
vive the one and avenge the other. His earliest
studies were engineering and military tactics, and
it was not until he had attained to years of manhood
that he published his Napoleonic Ideas, in which
he advocated socialistic doctrines. That he was
urged to this step by his notions of policy rather than
by any sympathy in the condition of his country
men, is proved by his cold unimpassioned nature,
aud his ruthless conduct on various occasions since.
No philanthropic throb even moved his breast. His
self-esteem is visible even in spite of his self-com
mand ; France and her people were ever to him the
scene and the puppets that he intended to move for
a given object. When by his apparently rush at
tempts at invasion of French territory, he gained
the title of the madman of Boulogne, and had be
come a prisoner iu the fortress of Ham, he had at
tained a position that lie hud previously calculated
to fill, llis name wus in every man’s mouth, aud
French people were saying that he was suffering
for love of France.
\N hen he ussociuted with the most disreputable
characters in Loudon and (iu spite of the gainsay of
Chaplain Stuart und General Webb,) iu New
York, he was studying man’s viler nature, uud no
ting the number of ready instruments that can be
tound in every luud to do the work of unscrupulous
men. Previous to 1848 he had served a long aud
fitting apprenticeship to the business before him.
He knew, as well as thousands of others, that the
end of the reign of Louis Philippe was to be the
signal for revolution iu France; aud when the pro
logue had been sung by Lamartine, aud the serio
comic brawl in the opening scene hud been played
to the life by Messrs. Louis Blanc and Ledku
Rollin, and a vast mob of Parisians, the principal
persouuge walked ou in the form of Priuoe Louis
Napoleon.
Since that time, the belief iu destiny and the imi
tation of the uncle, have been palpable to all. lie
has committed perjury aud murder with a coolness
almost surpassing credibility, if we had uot the career
of the founder of his family iu our memory. He has
married u plebeian, sought earnestly an alliance with
England, revived the military ardor of the nation,
and brought the legitimate rulers of Europe to his
feet. The desire that Sebastopol should fall ou the
anniversary of one of Napoleon’s victories, that
the treaty of peace should be signed on the same
day as the allies entered Paris as victors, and that
his child should extort homage from the magnates of
the earth, are only a few proofs of the systematic
plan pursued by him. If Napoleon Bonaparte
was us the reverend and romantic Mr. Abbott
states, a man of peace,—then we may conclude that
Louis Napoleon, his imitator, is now pacifically
inclined: but if otherwise, then surely will the treaty
of Paris leud ouly to a truce, and that of very brief
duratiou.
Action is life to him more than to any man. The
future points to an army, headed by himself, cross
ing the Alps, the Appeuiues and the Rhine, to win
thrones for his vassal kinsmen and extent of terri
tory for himself; and finally to attempt the grand
object of his life, for which he reserves his latent
strength, an invasion of Euglund. Napoleon ism
means, as we take it, uot only war, but war to the
death.
Tremendous Gale in New York. —The City of
New York wus visited by a violent storm on Mon
day. The rain, accompanied by heavy squalls from
the northeast, continued during the entire day until
night-fall. A number of accidents happened during
the day. The roof of Burton's threatre was carried
completely, away, and landed in the Park. A beau
tiful willow tree, which stood between the Hall of
Records and the City Hall, was prostrated to the
earth, while a large elm which adorned the Hospi
tal grounds for many years, was shivered to splin
ters, and landed on the roof of the colored depart
ment, In Washington, Tompkins and Madison
squares the trees suffered more or less from the ef
fects of the storm. Many hairbreadth escapes oc
curred in consequences of the falling of signboards.
In Brooklyn, the storm did considerable damage.
Some houses were unroofed, church spires were
blown down and signs and awnings were scattered
about the streets, making it hazardous to ■ walk
along the sidewalks. The drivers of the city cars
state that it blew so hard at times as to make it dif
ficult for the horses to face it. The top of one of the
spires on the Clinton avenue Congressional church,
on the corner of Lafayette avenue, which has recent
ly been built and is the finest structure of the kind
in the city, wnj blown ofi', aqd fueling upon the roof,
jjtqve it in, causing damage to the amount of proba
bly or more. Several houses were almost
unroofed- If H’tia feared tjiat much mischief was

Barbarous Scene is London.—On Monday
morning, the 31st ult., while the bells of Loudon were
inerriy ringing on account of the treaty of peace hav
ing be-in signed in Paris, a wretched man, named
Bousfield, was carried in a chair by the hangman
and his assistants from Newgate prison, and placed
’inder the drop. Bousfield had been sentenced to
death for ,ihc murder of his wife and three children.
During his confinement in jail he Lad thrown him
self oh the fire in his cell and frightfully burned his
head and face. For some time previous to the hour
of execution, he had appeared perfectly prostrated,
eDd it seemed doubtful whether he would live long
enough ro allow the sentence to be carried out.—
When the bolt, however, was withdiawn he sud
denly became imbued with almost supernatural
strength, and succeeded in lifting his feet on the
scaffold. Again the hangman approached him, and
again cast him off, when he, after a desperate strug
gle, once more planted hi* feet firmly on the board*.
A cry of horror was raised among the spectators,
and the hangman for the third time cast him off, and
then hung on to his feet until he was dead. This
disgusting spectacle was witnessed by a vast
course of men, women and children, who murmured
among themselve that the hangman, like Aber
deen, Palmerston, and the other officers of the
Queen, was too old to fulfil his duties.
Mr. Fillmore’s Acceptance.—The Wilmington
Herald, in giving a sketch of the proceedings of the
Convention of the American party of North Caro
lina, held at Greensboro’, say*:
“J. H. Haughton, Esq., addressed the Conven
tion, stating that in a conversation he had with the
Hon. John P. Kennedy that morning, that gentle
man had assured him that Mr. Fillmore would accept
the nomination of the party for President. Mr. Ken
nedy is one of the .confidential friends of Mr. Fillmore,
is believed to be authorised to speak for him, and
therefore this statement may be considered aa set
tling the queetion as regards bis acceptance or de
clination of the nominauou. Mr. Kennedy happen
ed to pas* through Greensboro' on Thursday, on his
way to Columbia.”
Illness of Hon. John M. Niles.—We learn
that Hon. John M. Niles, some years since United
States Senator from Connecticut, is in New York
dangerously ill.
“North, Fillmore will be supported because of his
known abolition proclivities: South, he is held
up as a ‘Northhrn mau with Southern principles !' ”
Thus speaks the Beacon, published at West Point,
Georgia That such an assertion is a severe reflec
tion upon that journals regard for truth, uo well in
formed, euudid mau will pretend to coutrovert.—
Every man at all familiar with the course of the Ab
olition and Black Republican parties, knows very
well that no man is more vehemently and bitterly
assailed by the organs and leaders of those parties
than Mr. 1 ii.i.morf.. A cause must be desperate
indeed, when in the face of such facts its advocates
resort to such means to sustain it before an intelli
gent people. Can it be posable that the Beacon
hopes to make capital for its party by such a course?
We might adduce abundant evidence from the
conservative, national men of all parties, to show
the truly national and conservative character of Mr.
Fillmore’s administration, but it would be a work
of supererogation in the estimation of every intelli
gent, honest and candid man in the Southern States.
\Y e will not, however, permit the occasion to pass
without introducing to the reader the following
Democratic testimony. The Kingston (Tenn.) Ga
zette, a Demt>cratic paper, in its impression of
the 13th ultimo, speaks of Mr. Fillmore as fol
lows :
“W ith reference to Fillmore as a man, it is un
doubtedly the best nomination the partv could have
made. While lie occupied the Presidential chair, he
thretc off all sectionalism and administered tht' gov
ernment in accordance with the provisions and spirit
of the Constitution , dealing out equal handed jus
tice to the North and to the South. He exhibited
his nationality by a warm and manly support of
the compromise measure. This was his duty ; and
for doing it, he deserves an approving conscience
and the reward of duty well done.”
’I hat is not only true, but is the voluntary admis
sion of a frank and honest man, who scorns to do the
dirty work ot party. Possibly there may be some
who will not regard this authority sufficiently high,
if so, we commend to their attention the following
testimony of Qeu. Cass, whose devotion to demo
cracy uo man will pretend to question. He deliver
ed a speech 011 the floor of the Senate, iu the course
of which he paid the following compliment to Mr.
Fillmore’s integrity, and to his efficiency in ilpa
rifymg Me country." We quote from the Congres
sional Globe:
“The Administration has placed itself high iu the
great work ot pacifying the country, and they have
received the meed ot approbation from political
friends and political foes. 1 partake of the same sen
timent. Ido them justice. But lam a Democrat,
and, God willing, 1 mean to die one. This is a Whig
Administration, but there is uo reason I should not
do them justice; and l do it with pleasure, in this
great matter of the salvation of this country , if I may
say so. I have done so; shall continue to do so,
whatever sneers their pa|>ers may contain, for I do
it, not for their sake, but for the sake of the country .”
Sjxech of Mr. Cass in the Senate of the United
States, March 10, 1851.
This was uot ouly u manly tribute from a devoted
partizan, but will serve now us a withering rebuke
to those “ lesser lights” of Democracy, who reck
lessly essay to defame the noblest liviug statesman
ot America— Millard Fillmore.
General Walker Victorious.
li affords us sincere pleasure to auuoimee tliut
Geu. Walker hus given battle to the Costa Rican
army at Rivus, aud that after a fierce engagement,
in which 600 of the enemy aud about 30 of the brave
Americans fell, he succeeded iu completely routing
them. Our tidings are received by the steamer
Orizaba , which arrived ut Key West 011 the 25th
inst., with dates from Grauada to the 19th inst.—
This decisive victory will cheer the heurts of all
who have been desponding of late at the prospect of
savagery proving 'triumphant over civilization.
The future of Geu. Walker seems destined to be
full of triumphs. He has from the outset of his pub
lic career, shown himself a man of such vast energy
and skill, that feats of valor which if told of others
would appear romance, when related of him seem
sober truths. This last victory we doubt uot will
be rupidly followed by others which will soon ruise
him to the! proud rank of ostensible ruler of the
whole of the Central American States.
Mr. Wheeler’s letter to the Costa Rican Gov
ernment, denouncing in indignant language the bar
barous treatment which prisoners and others expe
rienced at the hands of Geu. Mora’s troops, will be
read with interest. Such inhumanity has placed
the guilty without the pale of civilization.
Co-Operation*
The age iu which we live is a transition age.—
Old customs are dying out, and the new time is
dawning on the world. As feudalism, kingcraft,
priestcraft, and unskilled labor are becoming obso
lete in Europe, so iu America the spirit of “old fogy
ism” is fast losing ground, and “ masterly inactivity ”
is in danger of leaving its advocates iu the lurch. —
We Lave all to be up and doing, or consent to be
swept away by the onward tide. The march of ed
ucation, the progress of thought and invention, the
appliances of steam and machinery, the powers of
the press aud the popularizing of Republican insti
tutions, are the causes of the change. This transi
tion age lias its sorrows, dangers, and perplexities to
every human being. The ancient land-marks are
giving way beneath our feet, and many of us know
not whither we are being borne.
Optimists have vainly sought to show that the
condition of the poor in Europe is better than it wus
in past times. The startling fact that crime, pover
ty and suffering have been largely increased during
the last half century cannot be denied. The ex
tremes of wealth and want were never so glaring,
and society wus never so insecure. Why this is so,
can be told in a breath. Formerly, the employer
and the employed mude a mutual contract; now the
capitalist with the potent agent, machinery, at his
command, extorts from the workman as much work
as he chooses for the meanest pittance. “Rebel
and starve,” is the mandate ; “there are thousands
of others pinched with want clamoring to receive
the terms offered.” While machinery is doing the
work of hundreds of millions of men, and the work
man has but poverty as his companion, it were bet-
Ijßjr for him in Ruropo that he were dead, than that he
ghould think to save himself by manual labor alone,
'fhe hands tyre poor ignqble things compared jvith
tjie brain, and tlie brain mu§t be u§ed In tyelfrpre

Amid the many theories of lbo day there rises one
of vast significance, f ailed Co-operation. It is th.e
jewel hidden among the mass of obscurity, absui
dity aud utopian theories, known as Fourierism, So
cialism and Communism. All government is the
result of Co-operation: but for it no laws could be
formed uml no communities exist. Co-operation
has also planned and constructed railroads and
steamships, and drawn forth the riches of the earth.
The misfortune is that its spirit has uot progressed
uo rapidly as the age jjeuityuded. The necessities of
the many require that its powers should be recog
nized, and its principles practiced more extensively.
At present the uiuny suffer, that the few may at
tempt to enjoy life. If the few succeded in their
uttempt, it would be 110 upology for the continuance
of the system; but as they miserably fail, the change
should be readily granted by all.

Murder Trial.—The trial of Jeremiah Bell,
alias Myer Bell, a free negro, for the murder of
John Sparks, a white man, took place at Summer
ville, S. C., on Monday last. From the evidence, it
appears that an ill-feeling had existed for some time
between Sparks and his murderer, and that early
last month Bell went to the door of Spark’s house
with a gtUL Sparks threatened to beat him, and
takiug up his rifle he pursued Bell, who turned
round and discharged his gun at Sparks, who fell
dead. The jury found Bell guilty of unlawfully
killing a white man, and he was sentenced to twelve
months’ solitary confinement, and to receive wenty
five lashes on the first Friday in September next
and twenty-five more on the first Friday of March
thereafter.
Gettinginto a Hornet's Nest.—The Savannah
News of the 22dinst., has the following :—A little a (
fair came off in Yainacraw yesterday afternoon tha
produced quite a sensation in that usually quiet
neighborhood. A friend who related the circum
stance to us says that the young and pretty wife of
a German, residing somewhere in the vicinity of
Fahm street, has beeu for several weeks past pur
sued and annoyed by the attentions of a certain gay
Lothario, whom no gentle rebuff could repulse.—
Yesterday he succeeded in obtaing an interview
with his charmer, in her own house, when, to his ut
ter consternation, he was seized by the woman aud
her husband, stripped of all his clothing but his pan
taloons, and most unmercifully flagellated, after
w hich he was ejected into the street, no time hav
ing been allowed him to make his toilette.
Weather at the North.—At Albany, N. Y.,
on Sunday, the 20ti* nut, there was a severe storm
of snow and eleet t >1 Hay—the wind strong from the
Northwest. The snow covered the ground to the
depth of three uichea on an average. At 7\ o’clock
in the evening the thermometer indicated 30° above
zero. At Boston there was a heavy rain all day,
with a Northeast gale. At Rutland, Yt., it snowed
briskly all day, and at Baltimore, Md., there was a
cold, drizzly rain.
The Day of she Lord.
The day of the Lord is at hand, at band !
Its storms roll up to the sky .
A nation sleep* starving on heaps of gold .
All dreamers toss and sigh ;
The night is darken before the dawn—
When the pain is sorest the child is born.
And the Day of the Lord is at hand.
Gather you, gather you. angels of God—
Freedom, ami Mercy, and Truth;
Come ! for the Earth has grown coward and old —
Come down and renew ns her youth.
Wisdom, Self-sacrifice, Daring, and Love,
Haste to the battle-field, stoop from above.
To the Day of the Lord at hand.
Gather you, gather you, hounds of hell—
Famine, and Plague, and War :
Idleness, Bigotry, Cant, and Misrule,
Gather, and fall in the snare !
Hirelings and Mamiuonltes, Pedants and Knaves.
Crawl to the battle field—sn. ak to your graves,
In the Day of the I.ord at hand.
Who would sit down and sigh for a lost age of gold.
While the Lord of all ages is here ?
True hearts will leap up at the trumpet of God,
And those who can suffer, can dare.
Each old age of gold was au iron age too,
And the meekest of saints may find stem work to do.
In the Day of the Lord at hand.
[ Rev. Charles Kingslcu.
The prophets were men of genius, and the writer
of this lyrical poem does but forshadow the future
ot Kngland, his country, when he heralds the com
ing of the Day of the Lord. As in old time, so now.
the kindred angel of Providence, called Retribn
tion, will smite the wrong-does as surely as Provi
dence will reward the good. The long and fearful
reign of evil must be avenged. While oligarchs
and their pauderers have been revelling in crime,
the cry of the people has gone up to God, and Re
tribution cometh down.
Men who batten on corruption have railed against
the warnings of the Rev. Charles Kingsley, and
vowed that his writings would have a dangerous
tendency on the age. It was hardly to be credited
that a minister of the Church of England (a church
that has supported more abominations than any save
that of Rome or Egypt,) should speak out boldly,
aud tell of the approaching wrath. One London
rector, whose church was made luminous by
Kingsley occupying the pulpit on a Lord's day,
listened to the inspired words that fell from his lips,
but drank not in their truth ; and when the sound
of the voice of the prophet-preacher had died away,
he rose in all the dudgeon of orthodoxy, and de
nounced the doctrines as socialistic and dangerouß.
Since that day, many lay. ns well as clerical bigots
have held up their hands in horror at Kingsley’s
words, but, unabashed by their censure, he still
writes on.
The millions who pine in want ami wretchedness
cannot always suffer. The political economists who
experimentalize on the endurance of humanity, by
robbing man of all the graces of life, cannot always
triumph. The cold-blooded selfishness of the law
makers who ignore the rights of the many, will be
chastised. The day of the Lord is at hand. Such
is the burden of Kingsley’s song.
While people of all nations ure basking in the
smiles of millionaires and nobles in Eugland ; while
human creatures, like spaniels, are fawning at the
feet of the Imperial assassin of the Tuilleries ; while
success, no matter how attained, is receiving its
toadies by myriads, it is cheering to find a man not
unforgetful of the sufferings of the many, and true
to his genius aud his holy calling. The patriots who
have struggled on manfully against the tyrannies of
the world, and who, like Mazzini and Kossuth,
have endured bitter calumny, Mould ere this have
lost heart, hud they not had faith in the workings of
Providence ami Retribution. To them, and to all
who have suffered cruel M'roug from the despots of
Europe, the coming of the Day of the Lord will be
welcomed w ith heartfelt joy.
Ominous. —A new penny paper which has re
cently been started in Ixmdon, called the Morning
Star, adopts the opinions of Mr. Comdex, general
ly, and like him, begins to prophecy. Alluding to
the signing of the treaty of peace in Paris, it says:
“ We have conquered a peace which will last, in
all probability, during the existence of the present
generation, and it may be longer.”
When we remember that Mr. Cos den never ut
tered u prophecy which was not speedily falsified,
we must look upon these words as indicative of the
peace being of very brief duration.
Death of Rev. Dr. Preston.— We regret to
learn that the Rev. Willard Preston, D. D , died
iu Savannah on Saturday evening last, very sud
denly of paralysis. Dr. Preston was born in Ux
bridge, Mass., 29th of May, 1785, consequently he
had nearly accomplished his 71st year He im
migrated to Georgia in the year 1829, and resided,
for short periods of time, in Powelton, Madison ami
Milledgeville. In December 1831, he received and
accepted a cull from the'congregation of the inde
pendent Presbyterian Church in Savannah, among
whom he continued to dispense his labors of love
and Christian duty up to the time of his decease.
The Nicaragua Defeat. —Private letters have
been received from Nicaragua, attributing the dis
eomfiture of Col. Sen lessingfr’r command to t in*
intrigues of the agents of the governments of France
and England in that quarter, who have exercised
their utmost efforts in frustrating the designs of the
invading party. Previous to Inst ad vices a Spanish
steam frigate had taken up a position at the mouth
of the Gulf of Dolce, and a French steam frigate and
two English sloops of war had been hovering off
Cape Blanco, with the evident intention of effecting
a temporary blockade, if not of forming an alliance
against the Nicaraguans.
Dramatic Copyright Bill.— There is a bill be
fore Congress to amend the copy right act, so as to
give a dramatist the sole right to print and publish,
to act, perform, or represent any play of which he is
the author, during the copyright term, and fixing the
liabilities in damages of any person who shall in
fringe their rights, at one hundred dollars for the
first offence, and fifty dollars for every subsequent
one. Probably it would have been as well to find
a dramatist before passing a law in his behalf.
Judge O. H. Ken on not Dead.—The Dalton

Loss of the Steamer Cuba, and Sacrifice
of Life.—The steamer Cuba, a packet running
between Lake Pontchartroiu and Mobile, sank on
Sunday nijht lust when about 80 miles above Mo
bile. A lady uiuf her four phildren, mamee not

drowned, as well as two negro pussengers. The
crew were saved ; most of the cargo is lost. The
Cuba, it is stated, struck the wreck of the Empire
or the Aberdeen—which lay near together—and im
mediately bilged.

Steamer Keystone State.—We understand,
says the Savannah Republican , that the steamer
Keystone State will hereafter touch at Newcastle,
Delaware, to land colored servants attending pas
sengers from the South. ?his arrangement will en
able persons desirous of visiting Washington,
Baltimore, and the Virginia Springs, and who
prefer to go by water, to take their family servants

Fatal Casaulity.— The Shreveport (La.) News
of the 12th inst. learns that ongthe Sunday previous,
whilst the steamer Financier was effecting a landing
at that placp, a young man by the name o f Charlton
Dickinson, a member of a circus company, was
instantly killed by the accidental discharge of a shot
gun which he was endeavoring to remove from among
a lot of trunks and other baggage.
We learn, says the Savannah News, that a negro
girl, about 10 years of age, the property of Mr. G.
M. Willett, was so badly burned on Monday night,
by the accidental taking fire of a fluid lamp as to
cause her death. It is supposed that the top of the
lamp was not properly secured, and the fluid be
coming ignited, set fire to her clothing.

traduced the South, and has gloried in arraying
North against South, until a crisis haa been reached
that will demand both a bold and skilful pilot to en

be wilful blindness and sheer madness to deny that
Pierce and Douglas and tho Northern Democracy
have done more to increase the spirit of sectional
ism and disunion, and to fan the fiame of Abolition
ism than any men that ever lived. The Kansas-
Nebraska bill, with its squatter sovereignty feature,
breathed nothing but hostility to the South and her
institutions, and Pierce’s government of the terri
tory in the appointment of Reeder has almost re
suited in open revolt. If Pierce and Douglas be
friends of the South, Heaven save us from such
friends.

Letter from Kossuth.—Mr Walter Savaof
Lanloß, the aged poet, having written a letter lo
(hh London X'imex) b taring that M. Kossuth wa*
in straitened circumstances, and suggesting Uml t»
publio subscription should bo set on foot for his re
lief, the Hungarian patriot h(W addressed tho fyUo^
iug reply to the Times :
The letter of Mr. Walter Savage L indor, headed
1 A Pjea for M. Kossuth,” and your own remaiks on
- it, put me in the disagreeable position of trouoqiig
. you. Allow me to state in your paper that not only
have I had no knowledge of what Mr. W. Savage
Landor thought fit to do, but I llnd no words sum
ciently expressive of the deep mortification aim re
gret I have felt on reading Mr. Londor’s appeal. In
doing full justice to the noble generosity ot his inten
tions I consider his letter extremely injudicious and
, uncalled for, inasmuch as whatever bo my private
. circumstances, |am worn, to consider then the'is
cred domain of family life.
As to your remarks on the “immorality” nj thu
struggle which it has been my destiny to lead, ~u
must allow me to say thus much in return that
you must be perfectly ignorant of its nature and
» character, or else you could not think of perverting
historical truth to that extent.
