Clarendon and Crump*on’* Defence.
The very able aii«! conciliat.*ry despatch of Lord
Clake.mdo.v in reply to Mr. Makcy’s demand f*»r
the recaff of Mr. Ckamptow and the three Ilriti.di
Consuls with the labored defence of Mr. Champion
places our readers in possession of all that will pro
bably be said in justification of England's violation
of our neutrality law*-. The pieu of Mr. Champion
that lie at least never intentionally broke our laws
must be taken with great reserve, as the fact is. he
could not negotiate with a single citizen or alien iu
tl*c United States with the object of causing him to
enlist in the Foreign British Legion without un
avoidably violating the neutrality laws. That he
entertained tlie v i»h, that the laws were so framed
that he could pursue the course he did without caus
ing a difficulty between Great Britain and the Uni
ted States we do not doubt: but, finding this impos
sible, he, w ithout any reluctance, entered into an
arrangement, as is shown in evidence and by let
ters written by himself, produced in Court.) with her
Majesty's officials in Canada and Nova Scotia, and
her Consuls in Cincinnati, New York and Philadel
phia to forward recruits from the States to the place
of rendezvous.
The conversation with Mr. Maw y to which he re
fers, had previously instructed him that our neutrali
ty laws would be maintained, and he can have no
reason to complain of being taken by surprise when
a prosecution was entered upon. Tlie change in
publicft*‘utimeut as the war proceeded does not in
any way affect the laws which have been violat* d
The referee.*!* to V'attei. on the law of nations ai.d
the attempt to show that the word “debaucher”
should not lie translated “enticing away,” a.-t in tlie
edition from which Mr Mafuy quotes, but “kidnap
ping” is virtually an admission that he did entice
away men, though he did not kidnap them. Now, as
Mr. Ckampto.n’h version of Vattel’h celebrated
wo: k was not in vogue when Mr. M Alter wrote his
despatch, we may well excuse the latter for taking the
popular translation as his text, and decide that Mr.
CHampton broke our international a* well as our
municipal laws. It is proved that bounty money
was given to men in the United States territory by
recruiting agents for the purpose of engaging them
t*i serve in the British Foreign Legion, and it is u
quibble to assert that this was not enlisting. Mr.
Ckampton and the British Consuls connived at this
procedure, and for this conduct they should have
been dismissed immediately. Now, however, after
the handsome apology of Lord Clarendon, we
doubt the propriety of such dismissal. That apolo
gy, arid the whole tenor and spirit of the letter,
oughtfo satisfy any reasonable government; and
if satisfactory there can be* no excuse for dismissing
Mr. Champion, unless be be personally exception
able.
Mr. C campion complains that he has not been
treated with sufficient dignity; but a man who acts
an undignified part lays himself open to contumely.
It is not the exalted position but the exalted conduct
that saves a man from discredit. Had Mr. Cramp
ton have declined to take part in conspiring to
evade our law's, he would have retained the respect
of every American citizen, and whatever slights
had been offered him would have redounded to the
shame of others. As this complaint of Mr. Cramp
ton's is, however, the* only one on which he can
possibly gain sympathy, we will admit tluit Mr.
Pierce’s administration lmve not carried out tlie
law's with a firmness ora dignity worthy of the coun
try they represented. Mr. Attorney General Cusii
ino was guilty of an unpardonable breach of deco
rum when he designated untried men as “malefac
tors,'’ and Mr. Marcy appears to select the words
which he uses in his endless despatches from a dic
tionary from which the word “genttemau” Ims been
torn out. A good cause is thus badly treated, and
we see rather the attempt to hunt down an offender
than to assert the majesty of the law. Timidity was
also exhibited in not sending Mr. Crampton and
tlie Consuls implicated their passports immediately
it wns proved that the laws hud been outraged. It
seems to be the fate of everything the Pierce Cab
inet touches that it shall in some w ay bring discred
it on the country, and a caieful review of the En
listment Question shows that it is no exception to
tlie rule.

Henry Ward Bee* her a rn.u.isr.—lt seems
that Henry Ward Beecher, of Sharpe's Rifle no
toriety, is uot a non-combatant, like Ghkkley and
others. The Detroit Adccrtiser comes to the rescue
nf-the Reverend man’s “fair fame" in this respect
by narrating an incident in which this worthy repre
s ntative of the “Church militant" and a compan
ion are stated to have got into a row with a squad
of Irishmen. So effectually did the Reverend Bee
cher exercise the “manly art ot sell defence'’ that
lie elicited the unqualified approbation ofhis friend,
who said Ward “made his mark in a style which
showed him to be no mean pupil of the fives Court!”
Thi'ookry Revived in New Orleans.— There
was a meeting at the Louisiana Exchange, New Or
leans, on the evening of the 21st instant, of the
friends of General W alker, when, according to the
/ViVfi, a gang of eight or ten men denounced tne re
porter of that paper, and tailing to wreak their ven
geance on him attempted to fire the hull. A quan
tity of gunpowder Mas thrown into the fire-place,
aud two explosious UH>k place, but without doing
serious mischief. On sallying from the Exchange,
the gang knocked down, “brass kuucked and r*tub
bed several persons, among others Frank Lantry,
an Irishman, who had his head mashed with bra s
kuuekles and was stabbed four times iu the back.
He was uot expected to live.
droolt** mnl Sumner.
The Richmond Dispatch, iu commenting on this
aflair, very properly remarks : “We are no advo
cates of the club or pistol, but men Mho indulge in
vituptrarive personalities must not be surprised if
they arouse passions which it is uot always possible
to restraiu. Even the philosophic aud pacific Dr.
Franklin deeclared that Hhe freedom of the press
ought to be accompanied by the freedom of the
cudgel,’ ami the same may Ik* said of the freedom
of debate. When, even in the hall of the United
States Senate, that freedom degenerates into the
gross*-si licentiousness, it should be accompanied by
responsibility of some kind. If Senators sacrifice
the dignity of their station to the gratification of a
spirit of calumny and blackguardism, they should
not plead the official diguity which they have them
selves surrendered, when ther are treated precisely
as other citizens are who defame and vituperate
their neighbors. They who sow the wind may cx-
IR-ct to reap the whirlwind.”
Accept the Friendly Demonstration. —We
have little doubt that the universal sentiment of the
South is iu favor of accepting Lord Clarendon’s
handsome apology. Let us have peace with Eug
.oijvi. who Las gouc as far in the enlistment affair as
we can expect her to go. The public opinion of this
}H»rtion of tins country is iu favor of receiving the
right hand of fellowship which England holds out to
ns. and of maintaining friendly relations, at evenr
sacrifice, except that of honor, with our mother land.
The above remarks of the Richmond Despatch,
we doubt not, expresses the sentiments of nine
tenths of the American people. England has yielded
ad that a chivalrie nation ought to demand or ex
pect from a proud and brave people.
For Liberia. —The ship Elvira, Owes, bound
for Liberia, is cow at Boston, and has on board two
large houses, each % feet by 36 feet, and containing
>1 rooms. There is also an assorted cargo of provi
sions and goods of every variety She will sail from
Boston to Hampton Roads with two emigrants and
there receive some two hundred persons from Nor
folk. Baltimore and vicinity. She will then sail to
Savannah, and probably there have the company in
created by one hundred and fitly more.

War’. War! War!
. * Mr. Editor :—I was glad to notice, in your paper
i of the 17th inst., your remarks on our difficulties w?tL
. | England. 1 was going to say, it is strange that this
f j question should have been passed almost mnh gilentio
1 | by the press. But nothing is strange in connection
* with the politics of this country. The Presidential
question, just now, over-rides ail others. It is no
thing that our coast may be ravaged, our towns
burned, our cotton reduced to two or three cent** per
pound ; that we may have t© incur a debt that may
take a century to discharge, may lose by war and
1 it* pestilences millions of our citizens, and that half
, the country may be made bankrupt, provided the
Presidential patronage can be secured for the next
four years. There is an obvious reluctance to speck
on this question, all important as it is, till it is known
* how it may effect the coming political contest. The
r calamities of war are an appropriate, if not just
i judgment on a people so devoted to party politics
> and reckless of consequences to the country.
The politicians by profession may have more in
i tercet in the disposal of the patronage of the gov
. eminent than in the blood and taxes of the country
i that must maintain the war.
But the people, who must pay and bleed, have
. a different interest, and if they do not look to it in
, time, will suffer for their apathy.
Hie people of England and this country, are al
; in#»t unanimously opposed to war, while suffering
i diplomacy to force them to a crisis from which they
- may not be able to recede. If the people wish that
- their interests shall not be sacrificed to President
- making, they must speak out at once, before it is too
i late; for their interest in this matter is not for a n.o
- ment to be weighed against party ascendency.
I shall make no insinuations about bungling di
l plomacy, nor consider the merits of the question at
issue*. I will take it for granted that the former lias
been managed wisely, and that our interpretation of
the treaty is, as I believe, correct. On the other*
hand, the English think their interpretation right,
while their press is almost unanimous in it-* depreca
» tiou of any quarrel with us. Indeed, I have never
i known a more general expression of amity from the
i people of Great Britain. Then what should be
i done, in such a crisis, but what has always been
in such emergencies. As you intimate, it should be
i arbitrated, especially, if England offers us, as you
say, the choice of arbitrators. If our cause be as
clear as we think, then we should not f**ar an arbi
tration ; but if not clear, we should not take the re
sponsibility of a war for a doubtful quarrel, when
tL*- dispute may be disposed of in such an amicable
way. A refusal to arbitrate could only be justified
because the cause of quarrel is of so vital importance, 4
that it would justify a war of indefinite length, and
fraught with indefinite calamities. I leave out of
question “the empty bubble honor,” as none could
be lost by arbitration. I say a war of indefinite
length and calamities, because it will not do to go
t o war with a view of fighting till we ure tired, and
then, if the enemy will not yield, arbitrate or treat
without carrying our point.
Then suppose the worst, as the judgment of the
arbitrator, to-wit: that England has, under the
treaty, the right to retain the few insignificant Is
lands she is in possession of, ami some quasi pos
session of Honduras—ami suppose further, such an
award should fix her permanently in such posses
sion, can any one dare say, this is an evil to be com
pared to a war of one month, not to say of years,
with hii indefinite amount of calamity in its train.
In abiding the judgment of arbitrators, no honor
nor principle is involved, though the judgment might
be the most averse. But if we be so clearly right,
we cannot expect such a result. We must expect
the award to be, ns 1 have no doubt it would, in our
favor.
No nation or individual should ever sacrifice any
great present good for a mere speculative advant
age-, when neither honor nor principle is concerned ;
for being so short-sighted, it is a chance whether we
may be right in our speculations. I will but refer
the reader to his ovvu recollection of his private af
fairs for confirmation of tiiis. And everyone who
has read history will constantly be struck with the
many instances of a nation’s struggling aud fighting
for a policy which, afterwards, proved to their in
jury.
Take the late war of England with Russia, as an
example. Mr. Pitt incurred a debt of a thousand
millions of dollars, not to mention other calamities,
for a policy, the success of which involved her in the
late war, out of which she hasjustcome with another
great loss of men and money as well as character.
The chances are, the very treaty to enforce which
we are about bringing ruin on the country, we will
be anxious to undo in less than ten years. By it we
are bound to make no acquisitions in Central Ame
rica. In ten years, 1 apprehend some, if not all, of
those States will be ripe for annexation, and then
tbe Clay ton Bulwer treaty will be an obstacle to
the consummation of an object, to carry out which,
we may then be compelled to violate it, at the liaz
zard of war, and sacrifice of good faith ; so that the
benefits of our policy are too uncertain to risk a war
for, with a tribe of Indians, muck more with one of
the greatest powers of the earth. Should the award
be furor against us, Central America will finally be
overwhelmed by the natural growth and enterprise of
our people, \ythout, and even iu dcfiuuce of, foreign
control.
A war with England would fall willi ten-fold
weight on the South, whose cotton would be re
duced iu price to some two or three cents per
pound, while the Northern manufacturers, having full
control of our market, and her ships a monopoly of
privateering on the enemies commerce, would fat
ten on the war. It is a barren consolation to be .
told that England would suffer as much for our cot
ton us we for a market; there is nothing very in
viting iu such a race of endurance. While the
other portions of the two nation, like two litigants,
would be looking on with solicitude, the South and
Manchester, like a hung jury, would be gnawing
with hunger to starve each other into a verdict.
A war with England would grind peculiarly severe
on the South in another way. Iler inveterate hos
tility to slavery would prompt her to push her black
regiments from her West India islands up our
Southern rivers, to excite insurrections among our
slaves. Holding no slaves of her own, there would
now be no motive to withhold this terrible means
of war and insurrection. The military parade of
black soldiers through any portion of a slave popula
tion would be a test of the slaves fidelity—not ex
pected to be withstood. 1 kuow it may be con
sidered unpatriotic to doubt our ability to whip all
the world and the powers under it to boot; yet those
who recollect the panic created by a false alarm of
of insurrection, must admit that it would be after
vast destruction and murder, before we could check
the stampede that an actual insurrection would
cause. Cotton Planter.
Another Letter from Lord Clarendon.
The following despatch from Lord Clarendon
to Mr. Crami*ton, evinces anything else but a de
sire for n rupture with this country :
Foreion Office, Feb. 8, 1856.
Sir :—Mr. Buchanan asked me on the 6th instant
whether I had sent any answer through you to Mr.
Marcy’s dispatch of the 28th of December.
I told Mr. Buchanan that her Majesty’s Govern
ment had thought it due to themselves as well as to
the Government ol the United States not to take any
decision on the subject of that dispatch, and conse
quently not to answer the dispatch itself, until they
hud received your observations upon the statements
it contained : and it had accordingly been transmit
ted to you for that purpose bv the last mail. Some
time might therefore elapse before on answer was
st-nf, winch I hoped would not be of material im
portance ; although, I added, laughing, if you are in
u hurry tor a diplomatic rupture w itli us, I suppose
that Mr. Crampton will inthe meanwhile receive his
passports.
Mr. Buchanan, in the same friendly tone, inquired
if I really thought that the President or Mr. Marcy
wished for a rupture of any kind with Englaud and
I expressed iny entire conviction that they did not,
and that they took precisely the same view as her
Majesty's Government of the suicidal folly of a
war between two countries so deeply interested in
cultivating the most friendly relations with each
other : but 1 by no means felt so sure witli respect
to all the members of the President’s Cabinet, or that
the United States Government would take the same
means as her Majesty’s Government would take to
avert an event which both alike deprecated. My
reason lor saying this was, that the Atterney Gene
ral had made use of his official position in order to
publish portions of despatches, which had come to
hisknowledge os a member of the Cabinet, in liis in
structions to the United States District Attorney at
Philadelphia, manifestly for no other object than to
intlaine the public mind against England and against
the English Government, a few days before the
trial of Hertz at Philadelphia took place.
Now, I did not know what the opinion of the
l*rt si*lent nor of the other members of the Cabiuet
was ujk*ii this proceeding of the Attorney General,
though we had no reason to think it had been disap
provod—it certainly had not been disavowed: but
what l did know for certain was, that if any mem
ber of ln-r Majesty’s Government had been so un
mindful of liis duty toward his country and his col
leagues as not only to make a public use of the dis
patches which had come confidentially into his hands,
but to do so for the purpose of exciting ill will on the
part of th* people o« England against the Govern
ment and people of the United States, the Cabinet
Minister so offending would either have been com
pelled to resign his office instantly, or all his col
leagues would have resigned theirs. The country
would have expected this of them, and would not
have been satisfied with any other course , but as
nothing of the kind had taken place in reprobation
of the Attorney General’s proceeding, I must be
permitted to think that more regard was exhibited
here than in the Uuited States for the maintenance
of peaceful relations between the two countries.

From the Ijyndon Times, May 10.
The Cost of the War to England.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer is either a hope
ful financier, or he has sounded the depths of our
war expenditure more quickly than other people.—
His loan of £5,000,000 spread over more than four
months, and it would seem not to be followed by an
other till next year, if then, indicates that the bill of
the war will be soon and easily paid. No doubt, the
heaviest and least controllable part of the expense
is now over. Contracts to British ship builders, en
gineers and iron-founders, serious as they may be,
are yet definite things, compared with the frantic
scouring of Oriental markets, where nation has to
bid against nation, and one commissariat officer
against another, for articles already bought up by
Jews, Greeks and Armenians. We know what we
do ourselves at home, but not what is done for us
3,000 miles off. In fact, there is no longer any hur
ry, nor even much competition. Our position is
that of the tourist, who, having started with £IOO
in his pocket, discovers at Vicuna or sonic other
terminus equally remote, that he has only £ 10 left,
and is agreeably surprised to find that it will bring
him home without either desperate hurry or exces
sive privation. So, at least, we hope it is, in this
instance, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer en
courages that hope. About a fortnight ago we quo
ted a calculation that, even if we could reduce our
extraordinary expenditure by one-half, there still
would remain about £12,000,000 to be provided
for by loan, or some other way. Thus far there
is nothing to indicate that our extraordihary ex
penditure will be reduced to that very great extent;
yet the Chancellor of the Exchequer asks only for
£5.000,000.
The calculation to which we refer is simple
enough. The excess of expenditure over income in
the last financial year was about £24,000,000; for
the previous year, about £6,UUIJ,OUO; the two ad
ding to the national debt £30,000.000. The excess
of the expenditure iu the last year corresponded with
the increase in the “supply services,” those for the
year ending the 31st of March, 1855, being, in round
numbers, £36,000,000 ; those for the year ending
March, 31. 1356, £60,000,000, showing uu increse of
£24,060,000 in ti e latter year. This increase, be it
remembered, upon a considerable increase in the
previous year, was met last year by loans : one for
£16,000,000, and the other for £8,000,000, inclu
ding in the latter loan the option of exchanging
Exchequer-bills for Consols. Supposing, then, our
expenditure to go on at the rate of last year we
should have to borrow £24,000,000. There appears
to be no intention on the pail of Government, and
as little wish on the j>art of the people, to reduce
the taxation for the present: so the only alteration
will be in expenditure and loans. With* the cessa
tion of war we will adopt the supposition of our ex-
I pendirure being reduced by one hall'. This will give
! £12.000,000, to be met, as stated above. As the
i Chancellor of the Exchequer appears to be satisfied
i with a much less sum, he must find our expenditure
1 falling below half the rate of last year. \\ e will
1 confess not to have been prepared forthis. The ira
i uiei?se fleet and army in the East must still be a
great drain on the Exchequer. So also the numer
i ous meu-of-war and innumerable small craft assem
bled for the Naval Review. It is true we do not
: thi* year send a fleet to the Baltic, but up to this
j time* our naval armament is stiil at its greatest, the
expence* are going on. a large portion of the con
; tracts and other bills must still be unpaid, and we
I find it difficult to understand bow the extraordinary
1 expenditure of this year can be less than half that
| of last year, as the amount of the present loan would
i lead one to imagine. The revised Navy Estimates
| certainly do not countenance the belief that we are
! to reduce the extraordinary expenditure by more
I than one-half, or even sc* much us one half; l'on the 1
■ total amount of the original estimates being £19.-
' 665. the revised estimates are still £ 16.565.6 l 4
! the difference between which figures is little more
! than £3.000,000.
I The total expenditure of the war can only be esti
mated on suen suppositious as wc may choose to
, adopt for the purpose. One calculator may throw
into the total our increased expenditure on the na
tional defences for the next ten years, and another
may take the same latitude in a* contrary direction.
Supposing three loans ot £16.000,000, £8.000,000.
£{>,ooo,ooo, and a “clearing” loan of £5,000,000
more when all the bills are in. and say £6,060,000
added to our unfunded debt, and then'an additional
taxation to the amount of £3,000,000 the first year
of the war : £B,GUO.UOO the second ; the same this
year and the next, we have then £4u.ooo.tH!o added
: to tiie national debt, and £27,060,000 paid by addi
tional taxes, making a total of £67,000.000 for the
cost of the war to the end of the next financial year.
This, of course, is a very loose estimate, as all* esti
mates must be. On the one hand, it dees not pro
ceed on the actual cost of the war—that is, on the
addition to the estimates in consequence of the war:
and on the other hand, it does not take into account
that, but for the war. we should now be taking off
taxes every session, instead of laying them on.—
Neither does it take into account that every £ 100
borrowed by the Chancellor of the Exchequer has
e>si the addition £ lid. or to the
i debt,
; ered, we doubt whether the ctjst of the war, from
| first to last, will be much und® 00,000,000 —an
I immense suffi, but evidently not aof intolerable one.
! when it i* considered that it falls very much under
| the expenditure of Ude country in the one closing
I year of the last great war.

Mr. Brown, editor of the Herald of Freedom,
writes that a mob entered the hotel at Kansas
City, rind dragged off one man, supposed to have
been himself, but discerning their mistake, they
returned and demanded him of tlie proprietor.—
This was refused, and a company of Michigan
emigrants entered the hotel to protect its ocou
pants. The mob still surrounded the hotel at the
close of the letter.
There is nothing authentic concerning Brown's
fate since his capture.
The St. Louis Democrat’s correspondent, under
date of the 16th, states :
Eight to twelve hundred men are encamped near
Leeompton. The people of Lawrence had sent a
note to CoL Sumner, asking him to station a body
of troops in the vicinity, to prevent the mob pro
ceeding to sanguinary extremities. lie declined,
saying that he had nopowt r to move in this matter
without orders In answer to an inquiry, Marshal
Donaldson said, “the demand of-the Government
must be complied with. Every man, against whom
a process had been issued, should be
All the munitions of war in possession of the Free
State men at Lawrence, were to be delivered up,
and the citizens of Lawrence should pledge them
selves to obey implicitly the- present enactments of
Kansas under oath."
On tlie receipt of this reply, the citizens held a
meeting and drew up a letter t«* the Marshal, sta
ting that auy person acting under him would be
permitted to execute a letter of process against
any inhabitant of Lawrence. If called upon,
they would serve as a posse in aiding the making
of the arrest. There would not now, nor at auv
future time, be any resistance to law. They only
waited an opportunity of testifying their fidelity
to the Union and the Constitution. They claimed
tube law-abiding and order-loving, ami asked pro
tection from the constituted authorities of the go
vernment.
The puporrt of the Marshal’s answer was that
he did not believe the promises of the people of
Lawrence. He regarded them as rebels aim trai
tors, and saiil that they should know his demands
when he came!
American Wagon Boat in France. —Mr. Fran
cis, of New-York City, says the Scientific American,
inventor of the life-boat which bears his name, has
been experimenting before Louis Napoleon on tin
river Seine, with his Army Wagon Boat. The
wagon was launched iu the water, where it floated
like a boat. The men on board, to the number of
sixteen, went on tlie sides, without being able, in
spite of all their efforts, to make the gunwale touch
the surface of t la* water. The wagon, alter that was
directed into the current of the riv or, to show that a
heavy load could be by tlmt mm ns transported from
one bank to another without its being, necessary to
take off the wheels, so that a train of these wagons
could continue to follow their route without the least
hindrance. Afterwards the train being detached,
they maiKcuvred the tumbril separately like a row
boat. The body of the Army Wagon is made on
the life boat principle, and is very strong. The Em
peror *7ad highly pleased with the experiment.
Rachel. —The Paris correspondent of the N. Y.
Post relates the following : They tell a strange story
of M’lle Rachel, your recent visitor —apropos ot her
son—there is no indiscretion in speaking of her
children, us she lias proclaimed I heir existence in a
recent letter, initiating us into the mysteries of her
family. This son is the acknowledged child of
Count Walewski, himself the acknowledged son of
the great Napoleon—Count Walewski, man of let
ters by vocation and profesion. author of the come
dy Eoole du Monde, Minister ot Foreign Affairs,
and President of the Congress for his amusement. —
M. Felix, the father of M’lle Rachel, is no ultra ple
bian, but lately in speaking of his grandchild, he
said, “Tlmt boy has two great men for his grand
fathers—Napoleon and I.” This boy has lately
made his first communion at his Pai is church. The
Archbishop of Paris called upon M’lle Rachel to
congratulate heron having brought up her children
in the principles of Catholicism. She replied that
she was not flattered by the archepiseopal
added, ’'Although 1 am a Jewess, all the fathers of
my children happen to have been Christians.”
The Gun Boat Fleet of England. —The Lon
don Times says the invention of n gun boat fleet, as
the mainstay and principal feature in a naval arma
ment, is indeed a novelty in war. Like other dis
coveries, also, it has grown out of the necessities of
the times. The practical efficiency of England's
naval fleets, it says, must be computed by the num
ber and equipments of the mosquito swarm of min
ute vessels, and not by the squadrons of ships of the
line. If these vessels ore so available for attack,
are they not equally as serviceable in defending a
harbor/ One of the standing subjects of ridicule
against Jefferson used to be his recommendation of
harbor detence by a gun boat flotilla. Yet modern
experience has brought one of the most ingenious
nations of the world to adopt the gun boat system as
the most effective which can be employed in shallow
water.
The Revenue of British India shows a deficit of
about twelve millions of dollars compared with ex
penses. The military expenses there amount to
over $6,000,000. The receipts from opium fluctu
ate from year to year, ranging from £1,000,000 to
£3,000,000, and would probably be cut off alto
gether in case the culture of opium should be at any
time generally allowed in China. The Revenue,
however, is the great subject which interests En
gland, and especially when associated with the-pre
sent National Debt. Not long ago an Englishman
observed a stone roll down a staircase. It bumped
on every stair till it came to the bottom ; there of
course it rested. “Tlmt stone,” said lie, “resembles
the national debt of my country ; it has bumped on
every grade of the community, but its weight is on
the lowest.”
Gold. —It is a common opinion that gold is al
ways found in the greatest quantities in drift—in
the deep still corners of rivers and their eddies—but
it has not thus been found in California. On the
contrary, it lias been found most abundantly iu the
ripples, as they are called, those part* of streams
where the edges of the primary gold bearing rocks
have been most exposed to the action of moisture
and the atmosphere. Gold is found in scales and
nuggets or pebblesfof every size. Its appearance is
thaWof having once been combined with the primary
slate rocks, and then separated by superficial actions
of air and moisture. By the aidof surface moisture,
and the absorbing action of the roots of large trees
growing on the edges of gold bearing rocks, many
of them have been Gradually disintegrated and de
composed, leaving the gold behind, precipitated and
aggregated into masses.
A Northern Bortrait of Badri. Vijil.— The
New York Times says: The Padre Vijil, Minister
to the United States from Nicaragua, is stopping at
the Metropolitan Hotel. lie is an elderly gentle
man of somewhat singular appearance and dress;
below the medium stature ; very dark complexion,
and with a head and countenance! denoting an In
dian rather than Castilian origin. His expression
is one of benevolence, rather than a high order of
intellect. He is said to be a man of good education,
though defective in English, and to all outward
seeming, better suited to the offices of Church than
the storms of State.
Overseer Killed. —On the 2d inst.a man by
tlte name of Foster was killed at the house of Dr.
Vance, in the Baiisiiof Bossier, La., by a man by the
name of McKeown. Foster was tin* overseer of Dr.
Vance, and McKeown had been staying sometime
at the louse. The difficulty grew out of a supposed
interference of McKeown in tiie business of Foster
on the plantation. Foster was shot lour times by
McKeown, with a double-barrel gun, and died in
stantly. The painful occurrence took place in the
house of Dr. Vance.
Overstepping Duty. —The Lecompton. Kansas,
Union contains extracts of inflammatory speeches
made by Messrs. Howard and Sherman, members of
the Congressional Investigating committee, in sup
port of Ex-Governor Reeder, warning the Marshal
not to arrest him at his peril. Mr. Oliver, of Mis
souri, the Southern member of the committee, en
deavored to dissuude them from such a dangerous
proceeding, but they persis'ed, amid the cheers of
the Freesouers present.
The New York Democracy. —The New York
Democracy have been divided for years into
‘•hards” and “softs,” but the last named wing of
that party has been recently subdivided into those
who endorse the administration and those who do
not. About one hundred of the “softs” have
published a protest iu which they repudiate the
Syracuse Convention, denounce President Bierce
for sustaining the Kansas-Nebraska bill, and take
similar ground as the Republican party against the
extension of slavery. Both the "softs” and “hards"
of New York have appointed delegates to Cincinna
ti. This third division may do the same.

It is believed that Crampton will immediately is

Washington, May 23.—1 n reply to the resolution
offered some days since by Mr. Barbour, of the
House of Representatives, requesting the President
to communicate whether any of the United States
soldiers have been employed in Kansas to arrest
persons charged with violations of certain supposed
laws enacted by a supposed Legislature at Shawnee
Mission, etc., a response was to-day transmitted.—
The Secretary of War replies, that by instructions
from his department, dated February 18, Colonel
Sumner and Lieut. Colonel Cooke were directed to
aid by the military force under their commands, the
constituted authorities of Kansas, in suppressing in
surrection or invasive aggression against the organ
ized Government of the Territory, or armed resist
ance to the execution of the laws, in case the Go
vernment finding the ordinary course of judicial pro
ceedings and powers vested in the U. S. Marshal in
adequate for the purpose, should make requisition
upon them for a military force to aid him in the
performance • f official duty.
Under these instructions, and upon the requisition
of Governor Shannon, a detachment of troops under
a Lieutenant was ordered and reported to the Go
vernor to sustain the constituted authorities in the
enforcement of the laws. The Secretary says that
instructions from the Department being directed ex
clusively to the support of the organized Govern
ment and constituted authorities of the Territory,
for there can be no authority to employ soldiers to
aid, by making arrests or otherwise in the enforce
ment of the supposed laws enacted by the supposed
Legislature.
The Department, therefore, presumes and be
lieves that the United States soldiers have not been
employed to make any arrests uuder the circum
stances stated in the resolution.
Boston, May 23.—The attack on Senator Sumner
yesterday creates much feeling in this city through
out the State. Indignation is generally expressed
irrespective of political sympathies. The first ac
count was read in the House of Representatives

It is not improbable that some public action will be
taken on the matter.
A rumor that Sumner was dead was prevalent
here this morning, causing most intense anxiety.
Irt the House of Representatives this morning Mr.
Temple, American, offered an older that a joint spe

Washington, May 23.—The inves;igation before
the magistrate relative to the assault, on Senator
Sunnier, was postponed until to-morrow afternoon,
when it is supposed, Mr. S., will have sufficiently
recovered to be present.
The proceedings in the Senate on this subject to
day were brief, dignified and culm. In the House
the galleries were densely, crowded an impression
prevailing tlnPmnny members were prepared for
any emergency, and thatscrious consequences might
accordingly result, whereas there was only a limited
debate on the question of privilege—none* involving
the general merits of the case—nor was there any
exhibition of angry feeling. The minority, however,
complained that they hud uo opportunity for discus
sion.

that lie will be dismissed.

and held out u requisition for the use of Fanueil Hall

Description of Lawrence (Kansas) iiy a Con
necticut Sharpe’s Rifle Emigrant— One of the
company for whom the Rifles were raised in the
North Congregational Church Arsenal, in New Ha
ven. Says tin* Hartford Times :
"Mr. Reuse, of this city, who recently went out to
Kansas with Mr. Lines’ company, has just returned.
He says that Kansas presents an unfavorable ap
pearance. There is no thrift, no prosperity, appar
rent ; but whiskey—poor whiskey, poured
down on every hand, it is dealt out in almost every
building. Dunking is the principal business, and is
backed up by idlers, the people generally waiting
for ‘aid’ from the East. Sharpe’s rifles were offered
to him, he says, for $lO each. The price in Hart
ford, where they are made, is $25 and S2B. Exag
gerated stories are started in Lawrence city, and
scut, off to keep up the excitement in the East, and
bring in more aid to support the idlers in doing
nothing except to drink whiskey, circulate false re
ports, and talk politics. Such is the state ot things
in Lawrence, the result of unusuual efforts to manu
facture slavery agitation with reference to the com
ing presidential election.”

GRANGER’S MAGIC COSH A. . -—•
AND MEAL MILL.
I* a ten ted September 18, 1855.
GIRARDEY, WHYTE & CO., Agent*, Augusta.
IMPRESSED with the entire superiority of this cel
ebrated Mill, over all others for like purposes, we feel
justified in presenting it to the public, as being all that
can be consistently desired.
Possessed of alfthe advantages which are so palpably
secured l*y the inner cone instead of the outer, being a
fixture, while the outer cone, (or shell) revolves ; ofbe
ing regulated iu its feed by a single nut; ot utter sim
plicity amt accurate construction, those Mills present yet
another, and a most invaluable feature, to which public
attention is expressly invited —and which wo believe ren
ders it totally superior to any Mill extant—to-wit: the
rollers, (which are adjustable, and the principal claim ur
der the Patent) employed on the periphery or the revolv
ing or outer cone, at its base.
These rollers (interdicted In other machines) when
once adjusted servo to keep the con os, uuiU<> .ill circum
stances, equidistant on every side (no in.me- 1»..w often
the change of feed,) and utterly prevent the
ting, or rocking motion otherwise incident to the revolv
ing cone, and inseparable from the moving cones of other
Mills
As among the incalculable advantages of this arrange
ment, we suggest that there can be no crowding of the feed
on any one side of the Mill, more than another, which in
other Mills ofteu brings in actual contact the sides of the
Mill opposite to that excessively crowded, while it im
measurably increases the resistance to the moving pow
er. Again, while the yield is of more uniform consisten
cy, the cones may be brought almost together, without
danger of actual contact when in operation—(the result
oftentimes of the rocking, or vibratory motion in other
Mills,) as the rollers serve to preserve,’ under all circum
stances, the relative distance of the cones from each
other. Thus the very finest material may be ground
without the danger of actual contact between the cones ;
without the wear nmi tear incident to this contact; and
without the increased anti irregular resistance caused by
this contact—advantages which every reflecting min’d
will agree, cannot be over estimated, and which stamps
this Mill incomparably the best known ! Spec. ..- :
grinding of this Mid may be seen, of meal, shelled oats
and rye, which cannot be surpassed by the host Burr
Stones. At a recent public experiment, a single horse
grouud at the rate of fifteen bushels of material from
shelled corn, to the hour, of which more than one-fourth
was meal, passed through a No. 18 sieve—the balance
hominy and stock feed in equal parts. A small pony
worked with an 8} foot lever, ft No. 2 Mill, grinding eight
to ten bushels to the hour, without difficulty. The corn
and cob ground together, exhibited beautiful speci
mens of stock feed, which every true economist should
employ, even where there are but three or four animals
to supply.
The capacity of the Magic depends, in a measure,
on the kind and on the quality of the material ground.
No. 1, (designed more especially for family use or very
onall farms,) will grind from three to live bushels per
liour. No. 2, front five to ten bushels. No. 3,* from ten
lo fifteen bushels.
The public, (within the territory of the undersigned.)
will be supplied through Agents, at the different prin
cipal towns within our limits, at the following uni tor in
Seale of prices.
For No. 1. *45. For No. 2, 855. For No. 3, *65.

Ist. Make use of a proper box of sufficient strength,

gainst the sun. No harm is done, however, iu working
t either way.
-itli. Employ a cord between the horse’s hit and the
iack end of the lever, of proper length to keep the animal

A CURE FOR DYSPEPSIA.
SCIENTIFIC non have more difficulty in nvercom-
ing and controlling the various symptoms of Dyspep
sia, than almost any disease in the world. They are s<*
various in different individuals and eases, that it has
seemed Impossible sometimes to obtain even temporary
relief from suffering. But a medicine has boon discover
ed, which proves beyond a doubt, that in most eases a
permanent ci r i can ho effected.
Dr. 11. E. Morrill, a skilful physician of Ncw-York city,
in his remarks on Dyspepsia, says: “ The most e tied mil
medicine to improve the ton© and energy of the stomach,
is that prepared by Dr. George B. Green, and ca the.
(>X YGENATEI) BITTERB.
I would publish the reelpe for preparing this valuable
medicine, if 1 knew what it was ; hut as I do not, I can
only recommend its use. It seems to mo to be improper
ly called ‘Bitters,’ at least in the popular acceptation of
that term—for it contains no alcohol or other spirit, and is
rather sour than hitter. Though here, by the wav, I can
not but earnestly caution the dyspeptic sufferer'against
using ‘ Bitters,’ the basis of which is alcohol or other uv
dent spirits. They no more impart real energy to the
stomach than a whip gives strength to a horse. The
stimulation which they exeite is only temporary, and
sure to be followed by a reaction, which at length will
inevitably wear out the stomach. The medicine of
which 1 am speaking, obviates these objections.”
We have no hesitation iu pronouncing the BITTERN
a sure cure for Dyspepsia. None except those who
have suffered all the miseries of this disease, in its vari
ous forms, cun appreciate the value of such a medicine.
Symptoms of the most discouraging nature force the suf
ferer t • believe that his case is so peculiar that no medi
cine can reach it. To all who reason thus, wo say, try
the OXYGENATED BITTERS—-they have received
the highest testimonials ever given hi favor of any medi
cine. Prepared by Dr. GEORGE B. GREEN.

JL menials of its wonderful efficacy in removing pain,
than any other medicine ever offered to the public. Anri
these testimonials come not alone from the ignorant, but
from persons of every degree of intelligence and every
rank of life. Physicians of the first respectability, and
perfectly conversant with the nature of diseases ami rem
edies, have recommended this as one of the most effectu
al in their lino of preparations for the extinction of pain.

other a steel engraved Note of Hand—none others can be
relied on a* genuine.
Price of Bottles—l2} cents, 25 cents, 50 cents, and 81,
respectively.
One word in regard to Perry Davis' Pain Killer. I
have used that in my family for some two years, and
take great pleasure in recommending it as a valuable
medicine, that should be kept in every family. 1 have
witnessed wonderful speedy cures by its use—recently,
within the last week, 1 have known a very severe case of
rheumati.-m soon relieved, and promising a speedy cure,
by this, in my estimation, invaluable remedy.
