It w.ifi iii I Hl'.*, when the Missouri cmitroversey
hung like a sable pullover the destiny of the Repub
he, and the stoutest and moat patriotic hearts
qtmked with fear that “all was lost ** that he first
broke ground in favor of freesoil—that is of keeping
slavery out of the territories. He, then sustained
iln* movement to refuse Missouri admission into the
Union as a slave State. .
NYU, we find him, in 18-Jii, denouncing slavery (
in in*. Halls of ( a “great political and ,
moral evil,” and thanking (Sod he did not live in n f
State w here it existed !
Again : YVe find him when Texas asked her In- ,
d. pemlem •* to be recognized voting against it ;
and when her treaty of annexation, some ) ears
hit. r. in 1814, came up in the Senate declaring his
“repugnance to extending the limits of the Union 1
er iiov slave Territory.” and announcing that he J
had arrived at the eoiicfusion to vote for the treaty
ta .au . lie believed it would “/twi/ 1 ’ instead of “en- j
large the dominion of slavery.” . t
In 1M jx, in his letter to Mr. sau lord, ot Mobile, he ,
declared that Congress “possesses the power to le- t
, ,„late upon the subject ol slavery in the temtones, '
liud that this "pou er from its nature must be ex- {
. Ins/re." This was but a realTinniiuee of the doctrine j
ut the Lancaster resolutions of 1819, in which he f
first took public position on the subject.
In his speech in W ashington in October, 1848, lie
t...»k the ground, ns stated by the Nashville l*a j,
triot, that territory recently acquired from Mexico J
was free territory and could not be made slave ter- |
i itorv, unless by the positive enactment of acorn
petent legislative authority Here arc Ins words— j
When ire aiyniied U (California) from Mexico it (
uon free f, r> itorj/* both tn lair and fact and free it
must rcma/n, unless if* present condition shall he
chalived by tie positive enactment of a competent j
Jegisla/tre authority." ,
Southern Democrats took the ground that so j
soon as we acquired the territory in question, the
constitution of the United States in effect, repealed
the Mexican laws, and that the slaveholders had the
i edit to go into it with their slaves and wore protec
l,V(j by the a gis of the Constitution. Mr. Buchan- j
an's doctrine was diametrically opposite to this
Southern view of the subject. He was at this pe
riod in favor of ruuning the Missouri Restriction
lino to the Pacific.
And, now, without having changed these opinions,
he adds to them the doctrine of Squatter Sovereign
ty. doubtless with a view to reconcilefreeaoilers to
his support, w ho may object to other portions of the
democratic platform.
These tin ts from the record show that Mr. Hu
ehauaii has been a consistent freesoilcr from 1819,
down to the present day ; and it hostility to the ex
tension ot slavery is a sound objection to the elec
tion ot any one to the Presidency, lie should tall un

It,* High Tariff.
M, Buchanan has always been a protective

And vet his party platform contains the doctrine
ot ‘progressive tree trade,' and Mr. Buchanan
without a word of explanation, or recantation of his

lu In:*?, l.e voted for a bill appropriating $390,000
out of the Federal Treasury to extend the Cumber
land Road The construction of this road was re
garded by democrats as anti-democratic and un
constitutional. It belongs to a system which the
democratic platform denounce* ns* unconstitutional.
A resolution was offered by Mr. \N alkev, ot Missis
sippi, declaring that the above appropriation was
not to b. received as an indication of the policy of
continuing the extension of the road, and Mr. Bu
chanan voted against the resolution.
In ISo3, President Pierce, accompanied by Hon. i
Jctf. l>avis. Sccivtarv of War, and Mr. Guthrie, of
ihe Treasury Department. visited Philadelphia. Mr. 1
Davis made a >p< ivh on the route in favor of con- j
strutting a railroad to the Pacific bv the use ot the j
means of the Government. S', at least, his speech j
„hh construed. At Philadelphia, Mr. Buchanan )
made a speech in the presence of the President and
his suite, on the l*2th of duly which the Washington
Star, democrat, republished. The following extract
is to the point :
••lie admitted that Col. Davis was a strict con
structionist He had never known but one man
who could excel his friend from Mississippi in that,
und that was a friend of his from old Virginia in
olden times. This gcutleman was taken alarmingly
111, and was at the point of death, and all that trou
bled his conscience was, )e*t he might be burned in
the Congressional burying ground at the public ex
pense. He sent torn friend, and in prospect of
etemitv. said. 1 would nearly as lief take my chance
m being d das to entertain the idea that Con

tionwt than his (Mr. BV 1 friend Davis : for the lat
ter had got tofar as *o be icilhng to appropriate
fht public m ■ jjf .v to make a railroad to the Pacific*
,< ilk trha'h he kimsetf entireig agreed.''
We have no evidence—his party friends have
liven no evidence that he has recanted those opin
ions He may therefore be regarded still as a sup
porter of th< aoetrine of Internal Improvement by
the General Government, and as favoring the poli
, v of constructing a railroad to the Paeibe, useing
t«.r that purpose l the means of the General Govern
ment Auu vet he is the nomiuee of a Convention
which declare.' those things unconstitutional.
In conclusion we would ask all tair minded men,
if we are not right in saying Air. Buchanan’s ante
cedents should not commend him to the sup
port of the people of Tennessee ? Were not his
opposition to the war of 181*2, his want of
sympathy w ith the Buffalo sufferers, and his de
nunciations of Air Madison * administration, of
a character that should cause the people of
this Mate to reject him with scorn ’ Is not his
ancient federalism ait objection that democrats
should halt by ? Is not his consistent life-long op
position to the extension of slavery a sin for which
ue should bv condemned, especially by those demo
crat* who will not permit Air. Fillmore’s record of
1850 to off-set the record of former years? Are
not his High Tariff and Internal Improvement
rote* and opinions sufficient cause for all democrats
to renounce him at once and forever ? To be
honest and consistent they cannot do otherwise
than torn their backs upon nun. And will tbev not
Wt believe many of them will. Weal
ready know of some vrqo have taken position
against him and as the lights of his pail history
breaks upon the minds of others, they too will
abandon him.

The great test of Federalism, when Mr. Bl < hasas

was the war of 1812 to 1815. The Federalists, with
unparalleled unanimity, opposed the war, and de
nounced the republican administration of J as. Madj

other hand, the republicans with equal unanimity ad
advocated the war and vindicated the administration.

Nashville, June 11, 1856.
Dear Sir Your favor of the 14th inst., has been
received, inform ing me, in behalf of the Central
Committee of the American party, that I have been
chosen as a candidate for Elector of the State at
large, to supply one of the exi-ting n acaneies.
While L feel complimented by this mark of confi
dence and regard, I sincerely regret that the choice
had not fallen upon some one el*e. Compelled from
a sense of duty to my private interests, to prosecute
v profession, and tired of political strife, it was
my settled purpose never again to participate in the
tolls or in th<- honors incident to the public station.
Besides this I feel inadequate to the labors of a can
vass over the state, conducted with the ordinary
diligence and spirit which have -chara<*terized our
past contest*. These pleas have availed me hither
to, against any formal connection with the electoral
ticket. I might repose upon them now, and wonld
be perfectly justifiable in declining the position of
fered me. Under ordinary circumstance* I certain
ly wouid do so. But this is my country, and will
be the country of iny children after me. And if I
have not over-estimated the e\ ils that now afflict it,
every man is called upon to contribute his share to
the public service.
Never, in any period of our history has our Gov
ernment beenVone conducted than during the
present Administration. From a state of profound
repose, both in it* foreign and domestic relations, it
has become an object of hatred and a byword among
the nations. We could, at this moment, reckon
upon the countenance and favor of very few among
the nation* of the earth, while we are in constant
danger of a breach with more than one. But evil*
of this description are nothing compared to those of
an internal character. It was reserved to this gen
eration and to this year to witness the first instance
of civil war in our midst. The spectacle is before
our eyes. The infernal din has been heard. Fra
ternal blood lias been shed by parental hands, and
the strife still goes on. Those who are in the
possession of power were bound by every consid
eration of duty to crash, if they could not prevent,
such a conflict, but they seem to be indifferent or
to be under a the dominion of some unaccountable
fatality. Better for our own institutions, aud for
the destinies of human liberty, tlmt our whole sea
roost were occupied by a foreign enemy, thou that
there should be one drop of blood shed in civil quar
rel. We could repel any foreign enemy, and repair
his devastations, and profit by the moral benefits of
the victory. But what power, what valor, can re
pair sectional breaches, when once consummated ?
Who <'an wipe out the stain of fratricide? The
eliupter that records it will be black and loathsome,
but it must go down and stand forever a disgrace
to us and our country mid to the cause of popular
liberty. It will not do to say that these evils have
come of t hemselves— that they were unavoidable.—
They had an origin, and that origin is to be found in
an intermeddling with the question of slavery, un
called for by any exigency of the country
Under the Compromise of 1850, the different sec
tions ot the Union, that had been arrayed in fierce
antagonism, were rapidly returning to a state of har
mony. Seldom has the heart of the nation, beat freer
or stronger than under the hallowed influences of
those h' -aling measures of 1850. The Union seemed
to acquire new strength and a new lease of duration.
But this was not enough for those in power. They
deliberately re-opened the sources of agitation, and
from that hour to this the tendency has been to pro
mote a Avar of sections. Heart burnings, civil strife,
aud imminent danger to the Union, have been the
first fruits of their legislation.
Admitting the abstract Justice of the main princi
ples of the Kansas and Nebraska Act, they are not
new in the South, nor were they new in the Union
at large, prior to the Missouri Compromise in 18*20.
That measure was resorted to, as a necessity, to
save the Union. It performed that office then and
since until JHS4. The country, both North and South
had reposed upon it for thirty-four years. The in
terests of the South had not suffered by it. The
opinions and prejudices of the North were respected
by it. It might have stood for centuries, as a mon
ument of the patriotism which enacted it and a boun
dary between slavery aud anti-slavery, until every
hill and valley to the shores of the Pacific should
have felt the pressure and acknowledged the domin
ion of our advancing population, and until superior
wisdom, a nobler spirit of toleration, and a deeper
love of Union, should have obliterated the traces
and even the memories of former discord.
And what have we gained by the change ? Noth
ing. What are we to gain for the future ? Nothing.
It will not make a single slave State. It will not
prevent a single one from being free. What has it
cost ? A tearful alienation between the North and
the South—crimination and recrimination—bitter
and unwarrantable denunciations of men and sec
tions, uttered in high places, followed by personal
assaults. And finally and chiefly, it cost a civil
war.
Who can contemplate the spectacle before us
without a feeling of shame aud indignation ? What
will the world think of the reckless career we are now
running ? What will posterity think of it f if indeed
we shall leave posterity the means of judging of our
folly ? Men of extreme opinions on both sides of
the Union, are pressing their the ories with a vehe
mence and a spirit of intolerance, that acknowledges
no compromise, while moderate men, national men,
who see in the wide scope of their country, and in
the visions of glory and happiness that loom up in
its future, something else to prompt their toils and
move their aspirations, besides slavery or anti
slavery, are denounced as time submissionists, un
true to the North and to the South. What the
South needs, what the North needs, wlmt the Union
must have is peace and repose. Let the present
agitation eease—Let all further legislation on the
subject cease forever, and let him who proposes to
innovate further upon it, North or South, oe bran
ded as n traitor to his country.
The party in power have proved their mcompe
tency to administer the Government. When Gen.
Pierce came into office, lie found, in the language
of Gen. Jackson, “this great people prosperous and
happy,” He is likely to leave them in the midst of
clouds, and darkness, and tempest.
We are asked to continue the same party m pow
er What assurance have we of a better and safer
policy ? Will ndt the same passions, the same de
sire of change, quickened by the heterogenous ele
ment* that compose it, produce similar results ?
Every indication promises that the Administra
tion of Mr. Buchanan, if elected, would be the
second edition of the present, a sort of after birth,
and that the country would be subjected to the
same round of ceaseless agitation and noisy imbe
cility. .
It is pleasing to turn from such a picture to the
triumpnant Administration of Millard Fillmore. It
commenced in storm and tempest, but terminated
amid universal tranquility—never did an Adminis
tration close with a more signal approbation by the
people of all sections. It created no jars with tq
ivigu nations, no heart-burnings at home—no civil
Wrtr —no rage of section against section or brother
against brother! but it elevated the character of the
nat ion abroad, healed all domestic discord, cherished
the interests of all, and suuk calmly to rest, like a
bright sun iu n clear sky, amid the mingled joys and
regrets of twenty-five millions of people. Will not
the country, while contemplating that bright, emi
nently bright chapter of its history, naturally seek
that same skillful hand, that steady nerve, that
warm, throbbing, national heart, to aid again in this
hour of its tribulation ? He has been tried, ami fill
ed up every measure of the duty of a public man
and rendered his uamt fcminortal. He does not need
the Presidency to add t<This fame, but the country
needs his service to save it from destruction, and to
restore it to happiness and prosperity. He has been
called from his retirement, like another Ciucinnatus,
without any solicitation of his own aud lie has re
sponded to the summons in tlie spirit of a patriot,
lie can point to his Administration aud say, “There
is mv pledge to mv country This is my plat
form* . Will not all true hearted men of all parties
and sections rally to hi* well know n voice, and un
der the battle cry of “Union and the Constitution,”
redeem their institutions from the perils that sur
round them ? I see iu the kindling tires of enthusi
asm around me every day, an earnest of what may
be expected at the hands of the people of Tennessee.
And l cannot doubt that the names of Fillmore and
l)om Ison, as unanimously proclaimed by the Na
tional Convention, will receive the same unanimous
response at the great ratification meeting in Novem
; ber next.
Deeply impressed with the importance of the
*tniggle now about to open and believiug that the
i election of Mr. Fillmore i* a public necessity, I
have consented to make my share of personal sac
rifice. be the consequences to me what they may.
Animated by a stern sense of duty, l accept the
nomination which has been tendered, and shall in
due time contribute whatever of influence I can
command to the great country. And may I not ex
pect the hearty co-operation of all who feel irnpres
ed with the evils of the times ? I solemnly invoke
the councils of age. the vigor of young manhood,
and the ardor of youth everywhere, from the
heights of East Tennessee to the shores of the Mis
sissippi. 1 summon them not to a mere party con
flict . but to a glorious battle for the Constitution and
the Union. If we triumph, as I believe we will, we
will rejoice in the instrumentality we shall have ai
forded. But if we fail, let it be amid the smoke aud
file of conflict, rather tkau in inglorious repose.
Your obedient servant,
Neil S. Brown.
German Buchanan Paper Gone Down. —The

journal was started some time ago by the Postmas

the Germans in the traces. But the Germans of
Northern Ohio failing to patronize the concern, it
has gone down. The Cincinnati Yolksfrrund is now

pupils was highly interesting, and did not fail to dis
cover to the spectator, that the scholar was taught
upon the correct principle, that knowledge is the re
-uit of reasoning, and that properly to appreciate a
j truth in science the mind must first clearly under
! stand the connecting chain of first principles. The
| various classes in the different branches of the Math
| ematics showed clearly the correct principles on
| which they were taught, and in Algebra and Trigo
nometry, several, for their tender years, evinced
surprising skill that would have reflected honor upon
a Sopliomore or a Junior of your colleges. The ex
animation throughout was conducted fairly, and
showed to every body there was no particular les
son recited. In this no one could fail to observe the
perfect independence of the teacher and many of the
classes. The class in Virgil will make good linguist,
and ought to be encouraged in the taste they seem
ed to exhibit for the flowers of classic lore. The oc
casion wa* a delightful episode to one in this lati
tude with the mercury at 95 degrees, and afforded a
grateful recreation from the dull routine ot business
employments and official duties. I would not omit to
say, the ladies were there in abundance, “ sparkling
and bright” to relieve the scene of the roughness of
the ruder sex. The dinner table groaned under the
weight of luxuries and rich viands w'as spread in a
magnificent grove of shady oaks, and everything
seemed to conspire to render the occasion interest
ing, and nothing occurred to disturb the blended
beauty and harmony of the scene.
At the close of the exercises, Dr. Quailes deliv
ered an excellent and appropriate address. His
theme was “ Education in the physical, moral and
intellectual development of man.” r l he crowd then
quietly dispersed. Long may we live to witness
such scenes. Hereafter we shall recur to them in
memory as so many flowery vases strewed along
the dreary waste of life, aid like umaranthan bow
ers may they span our pathway while winding
through life’s w'eary pilgrimage. Spectator.
A uierican .Heeling in Madison.
Madison, Morgan Co.. Gu., t
July 10th, 1854. $
At a meeting of citizens friendly to the election
of Millard Fillmore and Andrew J.Dosei.son,
the candidates recently nominated by the American
Convention at Macon for the Presidency and Vice
Presidency of these United States, the following
proceedings were had:
Dr. E. E. Jones was called to the Chair and John
T. Mann appointed Secretary.
Col. Joshua Hill, one of the Delegates to said
Convention, then reported the proceedings of that
body, and sustained the same in a speech that ad
dressed itself to the patriotism and conservative
feeling of the audience, with a demonstrative force
that will tell ou the issues of the present canvass.
He was followed by Lafayette Lamar, Esq., Alter
nate Elector of the Eighth District, who fully sus
tained the reputation which he won in the recent
Gubernatorial canvass. The Hon. B. H. Overby,
Alternate for the Fifth District, was then called for
witli loud and repeated cheers, and responded by
saying, in substance, that for reasons, personal to
himself, he would not undertake to make a speech
on the occasion ; but, lest his present political posi
tion might be misunderstood, he wonld avail himself
of the opportunity to declare that, though he did not
esire to be conspicuous in the canvass, lie was iH
principle and feeling, a Fillmore man, and that it it
became necessary, he w’ould strike fearlessly and
with a good will for the cause of Fillmore, the Con
stitution and the Union.
These speakers were followed by Charles E. Nis
bet, Esq., of Cuthbert, and liobest Hester, Esq., ol
Elbert, who were heard with an euthusiasm which,
whilst it was deservedly complimentary to the ora
tors, also demonstrated that the American party had
not, (as asserted by designing opponents) ceased to
exist in Georgia, but is still alive, determined and
efficient.
Col. A. S. Wingfield then submitted the following
resolution with a few appropriate and eloquent re
marks, to wit:
Resolved , That this meeting cordially ratify and
endorse the nomination of Millard Fillmore and
Andrew J. Donelson, fort lie Presidency ami Vice
Presidency of these United States, recently made
by the American Party of the State of Georgia at the
city of Macon, and pledge ourselves to use all truth
ful and honorable means to secure to them the elec
toral vote of this State.
The resolution was adopted without a disaeuling
voice, and the meeting closed with “three times
three” for Fillmore and Donelson. Thus closed
the best attended and most enthusiastic political
meeting ever held in old Morgan ; occurring at the
close of the recent commencement exercises of the
Madison Female College, it was attended by a suf
ficient number of strangers to indicate how the pub
lic pulse s beating iu other sections of the State,
and furnished ample evidence that unity and ener
gy of action are all that are required to secure the
electoral vote of Georgia for the nominees of the
Macon Convention.
E. E. Jones, President.
John T. Mann, Sec’y.
Alabama Alovintf.
We have already chronicled an immense mass
meeting of the friends of Fillmore and Donelson
in Tuskeegee, where three thousand sovereigns were
in council, and we have now tidings of an immense
meeting in Montgomery, over which the Hon. Jas
E. Belser, a distinguished old-line Democrat, pre
sided. The “Mail" says:
“The meeting, in this eity, on Thursday evening,
of the friends of Fillmore and Donelson, was large
and full of spirit. It assembled, partly, in front of
the Montgomery Hall, around a staging erected for
the purpose ; while the spacious varandah of the
hotel presented a compact and dazzling assemblage
of the fair sex, with a shading here and there ot
masculines. The band was stationed on a verandah
opposite and at intervals enlivened the occasion
with its music. .
“The whole demonstration was imposing, and it
convinced the Buchananitee that there was no sort
of chance for a judgment by default, in Alabama,
against Fillmore and Donelson ; but that their very
best efforts would be required to secure the vote of
the State to their nominees.’
The following resolutions were unanimously
adopted by the immense meeting :
1. Resolved , That in these dying and critical times
the office of President should be filled by a man,
conservative, sound, patriotic, and who has the
nerve to adininis er without fear the true aims and
purposes of the Constitution.
2. Resolved , That Millard Fillmore is “the very
man” to preside over this republic, and to reform
and to redress any wrong that may be attempted iu
one section of the country against the other.
3. Resolved, That he was the first man in Ameri
ca who had the firmness to indicate to Kossuth that
his mission would be a failure—that mainly through
his influence the passage of the compromise mea
sures of 1850, was received, and that in 1853 he re
tired from the Presidency, leaving the government
prosperous abroad and re pected and admired at
home.
4. Resolved , That as regards him, we need no
other platform than his Washington like adminis
tration for three years, and his recent independent,
noble, aud well-timed speeches against sectionalism,
aud in advocacy of a more thorough and fraternal
union. •
5. Resolved , That Andrew J. Donelson, in his
public acts, has shown himself to be one who can
be depended on. That he has done frequent and
great sendee in behalf of the continued unity of
these States, and that he well merits our support
for the Vice Presidency.
fi. Resolved , That we hereby pledge ourselves
to use all honorable means to secure the vote ot the
section iu which we live, for these gentlemen and
that we recommend to our electors in Alabama to
enter into the canvass at once, and then to carry on
the campaign with zeal and industry until it shall
be terminated.
7. Resolved, That after deliberate reflection, we
have made up our minds not to minister to the sec
tional division which is now rife in many portions
of the nation : but to make a united effort to ensure
public tranquility by the selection of those who are
truely national, to till the two highest offices in the
gift of the American people.
“After the reading of these resolutions the meet
ng was addressed by Hon. H. W. Hilliard, Hon.
W. P. Chilton, Hon. Thos. H Watts and Hon. B.
H. Baker, of Russell, presenting and advocating
the claims of Fillmore and Dosklsos to the suf
frages of the conservative people of the country.
"The resolutions were unanimously adopted amidst
"rent enthusiasm, and the meeting adjourned with
three “long and loud” cheers for Fillmore end
Dpselso.v.”
The A fail concludes its notice of this enthusiastic
demonstration of the people thus:
The meeting has greatly inspirited our friends.
It is regarded as the beginning of the "young flood.
Already preparations are making for full demonstra
tions at various points, iuclndiug a State Mass
Meeting. A m .nth hence the Buchauanites will be
tired, in Alabama.
Conservative* for Fillmore.
\ letter from an intelligent gentleman in the
State of New York, a Whig, who, though not a po
litician is an attentive observer of passing events
and well qualified to form an accurate opinion, says :
•Mr Fillmore's prospects are evidently brightening
iu this State, and. in my judgment, he will receive
the electoral vote of New York. The real conserva
tive men of all parties think be is the safest and
best Ulan now before the people The Whigs, as a
nartv will go for him—indeed, how can they do
otherwise, with Buchanan and Fremont on the oth
er side—and though not numancally strong, their
votes will tell in the present contest. Before Mr.
Fillmore’s arrival in the country his prospects
i-eemed blue enough, but from the hour he set his
foot on our shoreshe has increased his strength.—
The more he is seen, and heard, the better he is
like,! and, of all the candidates, he is the only one.
about whom enthusiasm can be raised. As a part
of the Compromise measures, he thinks the Missou
ri Compromise should not have been repealed
l, u l is opposed to further Anii-slarery or l‘ro
slarere atitotion. aiid for peace, harmony and
quiet in the nation. If he is elected, he is pledge to
exert the power of his Administration in tavor ot
restoring domestic peace to the country, preserving
peace with foreign nations, and repressing sectiona
lism and anti-slavery aggressions upon the Mates.
He is emineutlv Sattonal m his sentiments. I think
such a man, with such sentiments, must be accepta
ble to National men North and South.
The Montgomery Journal, alluding to the tone
and temper of the speeches made at the great Ame
riean meeting in that city says :
The idea teemed to be that Mr. Fillmore was not
to be regarded as a partizan of any section, but as
the national conservative candidate, knowing no
North, no South, no East or West, separate from the
Constitution and the interest of the whole country.
In this eminent position. Mr. Fillmore has placed
himself by his acts and his declarations. He now
stands, in the opinion of conservative men, as the
only anti-freeeoil candidate before the people. Since
the’days of Daniel Webster, there has Wen no one
but Mr. Fillmore who has dared to address North
ern Freesoil assemblages, and tell them the truth to
their faces that they were guiltv of moral treason—
that the South would resist, and ought to resist their
outrageous schemes to debase this section Mr Bu
chanan or Mr Douglas dare not do it.

| On Thursday evening, June 26, further papers

London. June 19 . a memorandum by Consul Bar
clay, containing a denial of Mr. Marcy’s charges
iptittimut rrrbis; correspondence of Consul Ma
thew with Mr. Marc)' and with the Ear! of Cla
rendon : and, finally. Earl Clarendon s rep.y to
Mr. Marry. The latter important despatch is as
follows :
The Earl of Clarendon to Sir. Dollar.
Foreign Office, June 26, 1866.
Sir:—The despatch of Mr. Marcy, which von read
to me on the 11th in.-:., and of which you placed a
copy in mv hands, lias received the attentive eon
| sideration of her Majesty's government.
I Her Majesty’s government are ratified at learn
ing that the assurances contained In my note to
you of the 30tli of April, that no intention ex
j isted on the part of her Majesty's Government
to violate the laws, compromise the neutrality,
or disregard the sovereignty of the United States,
have been unreservedly aceepted by the President;
and that all cause of difference with respect to the
question of enlistment has ceased to exist betweeii
the governments of Great Britain and the United
.States.
git is witli much regret, however, that hc-r Majesty s
! government have learned that the President has
! been unable to alter the view which he had token of
| the conduct of her Majesty's Minister at Washing
ton, and of her Majesty's Consuls at New fork,
i Philadelphia and Cincinnati, in regard to the trans
actions whieh have been under discussion between
the two governments.
Mr. Slarcy had, in his despatch of December
28th, 1865, stated that the President was of opin-
I ion that those officers of her Majesty had viola
| ted the laws of the United States by being parties
| io enlistments within the Union; that he, on that
ground, considered that they had become uimccept
i able organs of her Majesty’s Government in the
United States, and that he 'consequently requested
that they might be removed from their respective
posts.
Her Majesty’s Government did not share this
opinion of the President in regard to the conduct of
tiiose officers of her Majesty : and having commuui
| rated to those officers the charges made against
them, and the evidence on which those charges rest
ed, and having received from them full denials of
I the truth of the charges, and such corroborating evi
| dence as thev were able to procure tending to ill
-1 validate tlie testimony brought against them, her
Majesty’s government laid all these matters fully and
frankly before the government of the United States,
with the persuasion tiiat they "would remove tile un
favorable impression whieh had been created in the
mind of the President with regard to the conduct
and proceedings of her Majesty's Minister at \\ ash
iiigton, and of the three above mentioned consuls.
It appears, however, that this communication lias
not produced the effect which her Majesty’s govern
ment had expected; and Mr. Marcy, in stating that
the President’s view of these matters remained un
altered, accompanied that statement by a number
ot additional documents, tending to confirm the
view which the President had originally taken of
these matters.
Her Majesty's government have carefully exam
ined these additional documents, but do not find in
them any evidence worthy of belief which should
shake the confidence which they have reposed in the
assurance of Mr. Crampton aim of the consuls.
Her Majesty 's government retained the high opin
ion which they have ever held of the zeal, ability,
and integrity of Mr. Crampton: and of the earnest
desire by which he has been animated to avoid all
just cause of offence to the government to which he
was accredited. Her Majesty’s government cannot
believe that on many material points in respect
m !i:s conduct, the President lias been misled by er
■••ous information, and by the testimony of wit
rft'w’* undeserving of belief.
Her Majesty’s government entertain similar con
victions as tothe conduct of her Majesty's consuls
at New York, Philadelphia and Cincinnati.
Such a contliet of opinions, on such a matter, be
tween the governments of two great powers, must
necessarily pe the subject of serious deliberation by
both-, and her Majesty’s government have not failed
to give to this matter all the consideration which it
justly deserved.
If her Majesty 's Government had been convinc
ed, like the Government of the United States,
that her Majesty’s officers had, in defiance of
their instructions, violated the laws of the United
States, her Majesty’s Government would, both out
of deference to the United States, and from a due
regard to the authority of the Brtisli Crown, have
removed those officers from the post which they
held.
If the government of a foreign country were ca
pricious!)’, and without any apparent belief that it
had good ground for doing so, to break off its diplo
matic relations with the minister accredited to it by
her Majesty, her Majesty’s confidential servants,
answerable for maintaining the honor aud dignity
of the crown, could not hesitate ns to advising her
Majesty equally to break off all diplomatic mter
couse with the minister of such governments accre
dited to her court.
Hot in the presetiS case her Majesty’s government
are bound to accent the forimil and repeated de
clarations of the President of his belief that these
officers of her Majesty have violated the laws of the
Union, and arc, on that account, unacceptable or
gans of communication with the government and
authorities of the United States ; and her Majesty’s
government cannot deny to the government of the
United States a right similar to that which, in a
parallel case, they would claim for themselves the
right, namely, ot forming their own judgment as
to the bearing of the laws of the Union upon trans
actions which have taken place within the Union.
I have, therefore, the honor to inform you that,
however deeply her Majesty’s government regret a
proceeding on the part of the President of the United
States which cannot but be considered as of an un
friendly character, they have not deemed it their
duty Oil that account to advise her Majesty to com
maud me lo suspend my diplomatic intercourse with
you; and I have to assure you that the liigh per
sonal esteem which is felt for you by all the mem
bers of her Majesty's government will render it most
agreeable to myself to have the honor of entering
into communication with you upon all matters
connected with the mutual relations of our two
countries.
You will be certain of meeting, on the part of her
Majesty’s government, the most friendly feelings
toward the United States, and the most anxious de
sire so to arrange all questions of difference, as to re
concile the just rights audrenl interests of the two
countries with the maintenance of those amicable
relations, the perservation ot which is of such great
importance to both. lam &<*.

Reply of lice Karl of Clarendon to Secretary
Marty.
A Parliamentary paper, issued on Thursday even
ing, contains the letter of Mr. Secretary Marcy to
Mr. Dallas upon the Central American question,
communicated to the Karl of Clarendon by Mr. Dal
las on the 11th instant, and also the Karl of Claren
don's reply. The latter document is as follows :
The Ear! of Clarendon to Mr. Dallas.
Foreign-office, June 26, 1856.
Sir, —The despatch of the Secretary of State of
the United States, dated the 24th ult., a copy of
which was placed by you in my bauds on the 11th
instant, on the subject of flic difference of opinion
between the British government and that of the
United States, regarding the construction and elfect
of the Convention of April 19, 1850, and the sub
ject of Central America generally, lias received the
attentive consideration of her Majesty’s govern
ment. ...
Before I proceed to communicate to you the
views of her Majesty’s government in reply to this
despatch, I will beg leave to remark, in answer to
Mr. Marcy’s observation that direct communication
upon the main subject had for some time ceased
between Mr. Buchanan and myself, that such cor
respondence had ceased because it appeared to her
Majesty’s government that further correspondence
was not likely to lead to a settlement of the question
at issue. That question turned upon the interpreta
tion of the treaty of 1850, respecting which her Ma
jesty’s government learnt for the first time from Mr.
Buchanan that a view had been taken by the pres
ent government of the United States different from
that of the preceding government.
The treaty arose out of the various projects which
had been started for commercial communications
acrossT/'entral America, between the Atlantic a id
the Pacific, and especially bad reference to the
scheme of a ship canal by the river St. John and the
Lake Nicaragua. The main object of the treaty
was to provide a security that such lines of com
mercial communication, through whatever part of
Central America they might pass, should be free
for the use of all nations, and should not fall under
the exclusive control of any power.
These objects and purposes are clearly ex
plained and stated in the first article, which is as fol
lows:
‘•The Governments of Great Britain and the Uni
ted States hereby declare that neither the one nor
the other will ever obtain or maintain for itself any
exclusive control over the said ship canal; agreeing
that neither will ever erect or maintain any fortifi
cations commanding the same, or in the vicinity
thereof, or occupy, or fortify, or colonise, or as
sume dominion over Nicaragua, Costa Rica, the
Mosquito coast, or any part of Central America; —
nor will either make use of any protection which
either affords or may affords, or any alliance which
either has or may have, to or with any state or peo
ple, for the purpose of erecting or maintains unv
such fortifications, or of occupying, fortifying or col
onizing Nicaragua, Costa Rica, the Mosquito coast,
or any part of Central America, or of assuming or
exercising dominion over the same.
“Nor will Great Britain or the United States
take advantage of any intimacy, or use any alli
ance, connection, or influence that either may pos
ses with any State or Government through
whose territory the said canal may pass, for the
purpose of acquiring or holding, directly or indirect
ly, for the subjects or citizens of the one, any rights
ot advantages in regard to commerce or navigation
through the said canal, which shall not be offered
on the same terms to the subjects or citizens of the
other.
Her Majesty's government deemed that the plain
and unquestionable interpretation of this article
was, that each g vemment was prohibited from do
ing what the words of the article explicitly declared
that neither government should thereafter do; but
that both governments retained the rights which
they had previously enjoyed, where those rights
were not expressly limited or abandoned.
With regard especially to the protection which,
for a long course of time, the British government
has afforded to the Mosquito ludiuH3. this article,
so far from requiring that protection to cease,
acknowledges its existence, and contemplates its
continuance ; for the article says that neither par
ty will make use of any protection which it affords,
or may afford, to any state or people, for the pur
pose of erecting or maintaining any fortifications,
or of occupying, fortifying or colonizing the coun
tries tbereiu specified.“ The treaty, therefore,
docs not require existing protection to cease, but
onlv forbids using such protection for certain speci
fied purposes.
I repeatedly informed Mr. Buchanan that it was
the wish of her Majesty's government to withdraw
from the protectorate of Mosquito, provided they
could do so with honor, securing adequate provis
ion for the King and the Indians of that country;
that Ruatan was a possession of her Majesty s
crown; and that, as her Majesty's government could
not consent to abandon the protectorate of Mos
quito. or to give up the Island of Ruatan. merely in
pursuance of an interpretration given by the gov
ernment of the United States to a treaty, which
interpretation her Majesty's government did not
admit, the most usual,"as welt as the most friendly,
course to pursue, was to refer the meaning of the
treaty to the decision of a third power.
Tliis offer was made by me to Mr. Buchanan by
the direction of her Majesty's government it was
several times renewed and discussed betweeu us.—
Mr. Crampton ought, undoubtedly, according to his
instructions, to have communicated to Mr Marcy.
at the time when he received it, my despatch of the
10th November, giving an account of my conver
sations with Mr. Buchanan, but his not having done
so was of little consequence, as Mr. Buchanan had
often assured me that everything which had passed
between us had deen duly reported to his govern
ment. lam therefore at a loss to understand how it
happened that the President should, as stated by Mr.
Marcy. have been induced only by certain collateral
incidents to infer that arbitration by a third power
of the difference between the two governments in
relation to Centra! America had been proposed by
her Majesty's government.
A misconception has, however, taken place, which
is to be regretted on account of the delay which it
has occasioned; but this has been rendered com
parativelv unimportant by the despatch of Mr.
Marcv arid the course of the proceeding which he
now proposes for the adoption of the two govern
ments. Her Majesty's government being as solici
tous as the President to preserve unimpaired tne
I friendlv relations ot the two countries, are prepared
I to enter into negotiations on these matters witfi a
I sincere desire to bring them to a speedy and satis
factory conclusion. . . r;r ..,
Mr Marcv is correct when he states that Great
Britain lays'no claim to any possession or territory
on the Mosquito coast, and her Majesty s g^veim-
Ua iTifnot contended, nor never has been contended,
that the British Government, consistently with the
Stipulations of the treaty of 1850, could, in the name
..f the Mosquito Indians, "taka with military force.
and hold San Juan de Nicaragua or any other point
in Central America:” and her Majesty’s Govern
ment agree with Mr. MarcV, that such a proceeding
would be irreeoncileable with the independence and
neutrality of the Isthmus, and would render the
ti eatv nugatory to the United States ; but no such
pretension has ever been advanced, and no such
proceeding has been contemplated.
With respect to the district of Belize, her Majes
ty's oovernmeiit consider that the only question to
be determined as regards Central America, is that
of the boundary between that country and the Brit
ish possessionsand in the settlement of that qoes-
I tion no insurmountable difficulty need be antici
j ‘ With respect to Euatan and the other Bay Is
lands, these, at different perio Is. have been held by
Great Britain as well as. by Spain : and, having
been again occupied by British settlers, formal pos
session was taken of Ruatan in I*ll9, by Great Bri
tain, which has since been uninterruptedly main
tained. The population increased fast, and magis
trates were, from lime to time, appointed by the
superintendent of Belize, until 136',, when these is
lands received a regular form of colonial govern
ment, solely for the purpose of their better internal
administration : but Gre.it Britain did not thereby
acquire any territorial rights that she did not pre
viously possess. .
The government of the United States, however,
maintain that, even supposing the Clayton-Bulwer
treaty were onlv prospective m its operation, these
islands were no’part of the British dominions earlier
than 1852.
If the differences between the two governments
on this subject cannot be arranged by direct nego
tiation, there seems no reason why they might not
form the matter of a reference to a third power.
Her Majesty's Government have learned w ith
satisfaction that you ar* instructed to enter into
communication with me in respect to Centra! Ame
rica, in order to ascertain, in the first place, whether
existing differences cannot be promptly terminated
by direct negotiation, and it they cannot be so set
tled, then to discuss the conditions of arbitration on
those points of difference as to which this method of
settlement may be requisite or applicable.
This is the course which Her Majesty’s govern
ment has throughout been willing to adopt ; and I
have accordingly the honor to inform you that I am
prepared to enter into the proposed communication,
and I trust that our conferences will be conducted in
that spirit of cordialitv and frankness which, as Mr.
31 arcv justly observes, is dictated by the true inte
rests 'of Great Britain and the United States. I
am, Ace.,

American matters,—or, rather, manners, —have
again been in everybody’s mouth. The exciting
cause was a eondretemps that happened at the
Queen’s levee. Divested of the outrageous exag
gerations of the British presses the facts are simply
these*that Mr. Dallas, accompanied with by a friend
went to the Queen's levee; the friend's costume was
not in accordance with the regulations, and both
gentlemen, Mr. Dallas aud friend, returned to the
embassy in Harley street.
Out of this trilling incident, the London Times
concocted a storv at variance with truth in every
particular, and made it the occasion of an outpour
ing of vulgar abuse of America, and Americans gen
erally. As is usual when the Times gives the key
note, the minor presses took up the cry, and for at
least two days, Mr. Dallas labored under the impu
tation of having put a studied affront upon tho
Queen. Os course, an immense deal of patriotic
wrath was unnecessarily wasted on his head.
We are requested to state that the American gen
tleman to whom admission was refused to her Ma
jesty’s Levee on Wednesday last is a professor in
the military Academy at West Point, aud that he
wore on that occasion his official costume, a blue
dresscoat, with buttons of the Engineer Corps, blue
pantaloons, white waistcoat, black stock, ana a com
mon liat.
It was objected on the part of the master of the
ceremonies, that in this attire, wearing a black
stock, with no sword and no dress hat, he could
not pass the Queen. The objection was made in a
manner exceedingly kind and courteous, but the
rule was express, and there was no discretion to re
lax it.
In this position, Mr. Dallas, who was about to
present two other gentlemen in company with the
Professor referred to, after having several times
urged the official character of the dress objected,
feeling pained at the position in which his country
man was placed, among entire strangers, and in a
place to which hejwas entirely unaccustomed, offer
ed to return home with him, m which suggestion his
companions joined. Under these circumstances, the
American Minister left the Palace with the gentle
men whom he was about to present.— London

The Bishop of Arras, according to the Paris cor
respondent of the Times, intends visiting England
and Ireland, with a view of exciting sympathy

the maintenance of the Pope’s temporal powei.
Queen Victoria's eldest daughter had a narrow
escape from a serious accident by her sleeve taking

presence of mind to extinguish it ere the flames

Mr. Crompton's Letter lo lice Earl of Clarendon.
Mr. Crumpton’s letter occupies upwards of eight
folio pages.
Mr. Crumpton, after quoting the principle of inter
national law, which, according to Mr. Marcy, has
been violated by the British Minister, proceeds
to quote the opinions of Judge Kane and Judge In
gersoll as directly at variance with Mr. Marcy’s
principle.
It will be remembered that in order to sustain the
charge against her Majesty’s agents of having vio
lated the municipal law, Mr. Marcy resorts to a re
iteration of his implicit belief in what ho calls the
unimpeaohed and unimpeachable testimony ot
Dessrs. Strobel and Herts, adding, however, that
this evidence forms but a small part of that upon
which lie relics, and that there are numeious acts
of Mr. Crumpton’s and of her Majesty’s consuls,
“uudenied and undeniable,” which conform it.
Upon this, Mr. Crampton observes : “Mr. Marcy has
not stated to what acts lie alludes, but if they are
acts by which I am supposed to have recruited sol
diers for her Majesty's service within the United
States, or ‘hired or retained,’ in the sense of the Act
of Congress of 1818, persons to go and be recruited
elsewhere, or authorized other persons to do acts, I
do deny them. If they are acts by which persons
were informed of where and on what terms they
would be received into her Majesty’s service in Bri
tish Territory, or by which aid and assistance was
afforded to them to reach that country, I do not de
ny that acts of that sort were authorized by me; but
1 maintain that such nets were neither illegal nor a
violation of the sovereignty of the United States.—
As to invitations or inducements, I never offered
them to anybody, although it appears that I might
legally have done so; for I cannot agree with Mr.
Marcy that the offer of any inducement short of
hiring or retaining, and that by a contract which
would, if not rendered illegal by the act of 18.18, be
binding, would constitute a violation of the law,
and, consequently, the sovereign rights of the
United States. I ar from seeking to deny to
the Govermuen . - United States the right of
interpreting the - the United States ; but I
cannot subserib ; e doctrine that the Executive
alone lias the a < i.terpret the law. Every act
done or authi.i . y me is supported by the
judiciary in wh. li.e President Limself conldnot
refuse to acquiesce in any ease which, either iu
his official or private capacity, he might be con
cemed.”
Mr. Crampton proceeds to examine the various
affidavits with the view of Ihovriug that they are
‘disfigured’ with deliberate falsehoods, as well as
blundersand mistakes of all sorts, and are intluenced
by malicious motives. “With regard,” he says, “to
those parts in which 1 um represented to have per
sonally played a part. 1 can only say that a more
impudent tissue of falsehoods was never put toge
ther. I never saw or conversed with any of those
men, with the exception of Sierawski; and, when I
saw him, I did not even know his name.” Mr.
Crampton contends that those only were responsi
ble for the illegal acts proved to be committed who
were convicted of them, namely, Hertz and Wag
ner, “both of whom acted without any authority
from any British agent; and, in the case of Hertz,
against my express desire, as is proved by Hertz’s
own letter to ller Majesty’s Secretary of Legation
at Washington, and by Mr. Buckuall’s affidavit,
which is appended to the documents laid before par
liament.” Mr. Crampton calls attention to papers
in relation to Nicaragua, recently laid before Con
gress, which show that at the very time when
the United States Government were taking extreme
measures against her Majesty’s consuls and Mr.
Crampton for an alleged violation of the law of na
tions and the sovereignty of the United States, for
having given information and assistance to persons
desirous of leaving the United States to be enlisted
in the British army, Mr. Marcy was contending with
M. Molina, the Minister of Costa Rica, “that the
liberty to go where hopes of better fortune may en
tice thorn belongs to freemen, and no free govern
ment withholds itand “that the laws of the Uni
ted States do not even confer authority to examine
into the motives which may lead any one to exer
cise the right of expatriation.” The same dispatch
reiterates the account of the interview which took
place between Mr. Crampton and Mr. Marcy, the
accuracy of which was denied by Mr. Marcy.
In a postscript Mr. Crampton appends certain de
clarations voluntarily made to him by Col. Smo
lenski, and which contradict the main
by which it is sought to implicate Mr. Crampton in
the recruitment.
Gkeat Britain. —The illegal apprehension of
American seamen by the nver Tyne police, upon
the authorization of the United States vice-consul
at Newcastle, has been brought under the attention
of the River Tyne Commissioners, at a meeting spe
cially called for the purpose. Last May many
American merchant vessels arrived in the Tyne,
and, as wages were higher than iu the American
service, above 100 men deserted. The masters of
the vessels applied to the river police to interfere
and apprehend the men. The river police made ap
plication to the magistrates at North Shields, who
told them as the United States was not in treaty
with this country, they could not interfere. The
masters of the vessels then applied to the United
States Vice-Consul who wrote out an “authority”
to the river police to apprehend all deserters from
the American vessels found in the streets of Shields,
and restore them to their vessels, indemnifying the
police from the consequences of sucli proceedings.
With this authority the river nolice went to the
sailors’ lodging houses in Shields and dragged the
men to the station house, and, without ever having
taken them before a magistrate, they were remov
ed to their vessels, the police putting men in irons
on board of two vessels, the Amelia and the Indian
Chief. For their part in these proceedings the Po
lice received five or six pounds from the United
States masters. Mr. Mather, of South Shields, upon
ascertaining this, had a special meeting of the
Board called, when, after a warai debate, the re
porters being excluded, the following resolution was
agreed to : “It it resolved that Inspector Freshwa
ter and the offiers under him, be called in and in
formed that they have acted illegally in the appre
hension and detention of seamen who had deserted
from ships of the United States of America, and
they be warned not to act in a similar manner in fu
ture. It is also resolved that the Clerk do write to
the American Ambassador calling his attention to
the inconvenience arising from the want of an ar
rangement with the United States ol America for
the recovery ot seamen, and do send a copy of the
letter of the* Vice-Consul at Newcastle.”

France.— The bill which the French Government
has just presented to the legislative body, to effect
certain modifications in the measure previously
brought forward to withdraw the prohibitions in
scribed in the French customs tariff, concerns the
following products : —For woven cotton goods
(other than nankeen) the 35 per cent, ad valorem
duty to be changed into specific duties, to be fixed
by the Consultative Committee of Arts and Manu
factures, by a decree rendered in the form of a regu
lation of public administration. For woven woolen
goods, the 30 per cent, ad valorem duty to be con
verted into specific duties, as above. For ready
made articles of wearing apparel, 40 per cent, ad
valorem duty. Under the head of chemical produc
tions not classified, it is declared that products re
sulting either directly or indirectly from the decom
position of salt, will pay in addtion the duty to
which manufactured salts are subjected, in virtue of
| the decree of the 17th of March, 1852. The new du- J
ties thus proposed wiil, it is thought, appear amply |
protective to those branches of industry which em
ploy the various raw materials taxed.
From 40 to 50 of the Poles, resident in Paris, have

military party, that recognizes General Rybinski as
its leader, is said to abstain completely from any
declaration of opinion.
The correspondent of the. Times says that an un
derstanding is reported to have been come to be

Spain. —The Madrid Gazette, of the 25th, con
firms the news of disturbances at Valladolid and
Valencia. Twenty-eight individuals had been ar
rested. The movement had extended to liioseco
and Palencie. The insurgents had sacked and
j burned property on the line of the Castile canal.—
The latest intelligence is that material order is being
re-established. The pretext for the disturbance was
the dearness of provisions, but it is suspected they
had something of a socialist character.
A letter from Madrid, published in a Pari." paper,
says: —“ When, a few days ago, the Minister of Fo
reign Affairs declared in the Cortes that the Spanish
Government had accepted the mediation of France
to adjust its differences with Mexico, he did not
make a proper application of the word mediation.
The Emperor of the French did not offer his media
tion, but merely his good offices. The signification
of those words is widely different. Mediation im
plies a formal compromise entered into between the
party who offers it and the one who accepts it. Tho
Spanish Government, on this occasion, has reserved
to itself to fix the conditions and the nature of the
reparations it demands, and to use the means which
it may deem expedient to adopt in order to vindi
cate its rights."
Italy.— The Paris papers repeat a report from
the Frankfort Zeitnng, to the effect that Austria has
succeeded in forming a league of Italian princes
against Piedmont. It is pretended that Rome, Na
ples, Tuscany, Parma, &.0., have entered into a con
vention with Austria, whereby they engage, should
need be, to invoke Austria’s military nid^
A telegraphic despatch states that the Dutchess of
Parma, annoyed with the conduct of the Austrian

Germany.'—At last sitting of the Grmauio Diet,
the Russian Envoy put iu a note, in oonformity with
those of the other Powers, which signed the treaty
at Paris, calling upon the Assembly to adhere to the
declaration respecting the rights of neutrals and the
abolition of privateering. It is believed that when
the adhesion of all European powers is obtained,
Europe will call on the United States to adopt the
same principles.
Among the propositions laid by Prussia before

husk.
The Principalities. —The German papers gene
rally represent Austria as more than ever opposed
to the union of the Danubiau principalities into one
State. Correspondence assorts that a very few days
since a conference took place at Vienna upon this
subject, between the representatives of all the Eu
ropean Powers, at which Count Buol leugthly de
veloped the reasons for which the Austrian Govern
ment maintains its refusal to consent to the plan of
union. At the same meeting the Grand Vizier is
said to have stated that the Sultan was resolved
never to consent to the plan, however disposed lie
might be to admit otherwise certain institutions cal
culated to afford more defensive power to the Prin
cipalities. Russia, it is also said, backed the west
ern powers strenuously in their plan of union, so
that Austria stands alone.

liiipoi'lniK from South Florida—Destruction of
Fori Deynaud by Fire.
The following intelligence has been received by
the New York Tribune, by letters from Fort Myers
to June 24. It is of considerable importance, as de
noting the resolve of the savages to continue hostili
ties, notwithstanding the campaign had been closed
and all the troops withdrawn from the field. By
them it ulso has accounts of the destruction of
Foil Deynaud (an important post situated on the
Caloosatchee, about 33 miles above Fort Myers,)
by fire :
“Fort Myers, Saturday, June 21, 185 G.
“Last Friday, the 13th instant, Fort Deynaud
was almost destroyed by fire, which caught acci
dentally, in consequence of a spark from a lighted
pipe catching to the palmetto thatching on the roofs
of the barracks. The flames spread rapidly and be
fore long the hospital, barracks, stables, sutler’s store
and government store houses were burned. All the
clothing was destroyed, and the constant popping
off of the loaded guns in the quarters prevented any
effort being made on the part of our men to save
much. Happily no one was hurt. Louis, the sutler,
lost about $2,01)0 worth of goods. The U. S. steam
er Ranger went up yesterday with carpenters, pro
visions, &<*., for the sufferers. The fire occurred in
the evening at eight o’clock. The soldiers lost
much of their hard earned savings, and it is to be
hoped that Congress will remunerate them for
their losses. So intense was the heat that gold
watches and even an iron bedstead were melted
down.”
By another letter, we have accounts of a severe
engagement between a detachment of Florida vol
unteers and the Seminoles, which resulted in the de
feat of the former—not, however, withoutconsidera
ble loss on the part of the Indians. The following
is the account :
Fort Myers, Monday Evening, ( I
June 24,1856. \
“A schooner from Tampa brings the startling in
telligence this evening, that the volunteers had had
a fight with the Indians on the 14th or 15th ins!., at
Pease Creek, not far from the mouth of Whitten’s
Creek. There were abeut twenty-five of the volun
teers, under Capt. Hooker. They (the volunteers)
were repulsed from a hammock which they attack
ed, with the loss of two killed—Howell and Pierce,
and Hollingsworth dangerously wounded, and a
number of others slightly so.
“At Fort Greem, John Parker and a man named
Regidect, were killed by the savages.
“Letters to Lieut. Benson, Jit this post, state that
the Indians first attacked a farm house and killed a
man and were pursued by the volunteers until they
come to this hammock. Here the Indians made a
stand, and commenced taunting the whites with
such expressions as these—‘Come out, you cowards;
you dare not fight us,’ which so irritated them that
they dashed in, and a tight ensued. They say sev
eral Indians were killed—perhaps as maiiy as
nine. One certainly was, for they brought the
corpse of an Indian away with them, and several
are said to have fallen into the river It is also
said that As-suu-wah, the great orator of the na
tion, is the one killed, whjpli would be a happy
occurrence if tme, for he is a most determined
enemy to peace. I will give you fuller particu
lars by the next mail. This is all I can obtain at
present.
“P. S.—On the 13th inst. a house about two miles
from Fort Meade, was attacked by Indians, and
Wm. Parker, Alderman Carlton and Spott Whitton
were killed. There is no further news.”
The Great Robbery of Gold—Capture of the
Thieves. —A few days since a discovery of a most
extensive robbery of gold and silver (amounting to
nearly £11,000) was made at the Bank of England.
Several boxes, supposed to contain specie, had ar
rived from Southampton, by the Solent, West India
steamer, and were consigned for security to the cus
tody of the Bank authorities. On undergoing ex
amination the discovery was made that the whole of
the precious metal had been abstracted, und that
shot and lumps of lead had been substituted. The
boxes w’ere from different merchants at New’ Grana
da, and appeared to have been shipped at Cartha
gena on board the steamship above named for En
gland. On the 16th notice was posted at Lloyd’s,
for the information of the underwriters, that the po
lice at Carthagena, after the departure of the steam
er, had received information of the robbery, and had
taken into custody the thieves, with about 120 lbs.
weight of gold (£5,000; in their possession, a por
tion of the plunder. The parties implicated are said
to be the carriers w’ho brought the boxes to Cartha
gena from the interior of the country. Other par
ties were also suspected, whose apprehension, up to
the last advices, had not been accomplished.
Destructive Fire at Madison, Indiana.— On
Thursday night, the 3d inst., the extensive ship
yard works of Messrs. Temple & Robertson, Madi
son, Indiana, caught fire, and in a few hours every
thing combustible was burnt up, including the mill,
sheds, lumber, material, marine w ays, Capt. David
White’s new boat, and a portion of another on the
stocks. The work of destructioa was thorough and
complete, scarcely a vestige of the extensive works
left standing, involving a heavy loss to the proprie
tors of the ship-yard, and inflicting a terrible blow
to the city of Madison.
Capt. David White’s boat was entirely built, and
would have been launched from tuejways several
days ago, if the company, in the meantime, had not
hauled out the Moderator to repair. It was ex
pected that she would have been overhauled, and
taken off the ways in twenty four hours, and the
launch was postponed. She was all complete,
boilers and engines up, and would have been up and
ready to make a trip in ten days. The boat cost
fifty thousaud dollars, with but ten thousand dol
lars insurance on her. _
Havana News. —Mr. Mathias Perez, who made
a balloon ascension from the Campo del Marie, Ha
vana. on Sunday, the 29th uit., was supposed to have
been lost at sea, but an American vessel arrived at
Havana on the 6th inst., bringing the news that Mr.
Perez, after a flight of two horns, descended near
the shores of Florida, iu the United States.
It is reported that several cargoes of Africans
have been landed at different points along the coast.
Some eighty or ninety were captured near Barba

After considerable trouble, Mr. Edward Fesser,
President of the Regia Sugar Warehouses, has suc
ceeded in organizing a joint-stock company, with a
capital of $2,000,000, to build a railroad ’between
Regia and Matanzas. The company has been au
thorized by the Captain-General, and nearly one
million of dollars subscribed in the first few days.—
The road has been carefully surveyed by competent
engineers, and calculated at $30,000 per English
mile. It will be fifty-two miles long. This road
will form a connection with the Coliseo road from
Matanzas to Cardenas, and then unite with the
great Central road of the bland.
No Admittance except for Ro3lan Catho
lics. —A young English girl lately (bed at Rome,
aged 20 years. Her mothor had engraved upon her
tomb in the English cemetery the verse from St.
Matthew -.—“ Blessed are the pure in heart, for they
shall see God.” The priests examined the inscrip
tion, and as they consider it a scandal to say that a
heretic can ever see the face of God, they ordered
the second part of the inscription to be effaced so
that it now reads, “Blessed are the pure in heart.”

object of the Convention was stated to be to secure
unity and efficient action on behalf of Kansas.
To-day Gerritt Smith, chairman of the Committee
on Resolutions, reported resolutions recommending
sending armed forces into Kansas.
Gov. Reeder thought Mr. Smith’s resolutions too
ultra. Ile said that the time had not yet arrived for
sucli action. If the power of the government had
been delegated to him (Reeder) there would before
now have been heaps of dead men on the fields of
Missouri. lie did not wish to give the South notice
of their intention of inarching armed men into the
territory. He wanted the enemy to have the first
notice of the blow given by blow itself. The tree
state party w ere too slow tor him.
Mr. Smith said if this reasoning were correct, the
Convention sliou d sit with dosed doors. The
South could not help knowing that something was
going to be done.
A resolution was passed for raising SIOO,OOO per
month.
! The Convention then adjourned until the after
noon.

IMPORTANT TO PLANTERS'
SOMETHING NEW.
HOWE’S COTTON HARVESTER !
I S now offered for sale to Cotton Planters. This valu
*- able machine, second only to the invention of the Cot
ton G in, is destined to produce a remarkable change in
the method of gathering cotton from the field. It \vill do
the work of from three to five hands in picking cotton
from the stalk, and is eminently a labor-saving machine.
ItH benefit to the Planter is incalculable. It picks the
cotton clean from trash, leaves it in excellent condition
for ginning—obviates the necessity of exposing the hands
to heavy dews, rains and cold—and from the rapidity of
its work, will enable the Planter to prepare his crop for
market at an early day, leaving him time for the improve
ment of his land, houses, enclosures and general arrange
ment of the plantation.
The improvement wai first successfully used in the
cotton field by Col. A. 11. Blaisdell, in Arkansas, in Sep
tember and October last. It was on exhibition at the
Alabama State Fair, on the 23d, 24th and 25th of Novem
ber last, and since that time it has been at Mobile and
New-Orleaus, where it has attracted the attention of cot
ton growers and met with their uniform approval.
It is light, weighing about six pounds, is suspended by
a strap over the shoulders, and is operated by means of a
crank turned by the hand or fingers. The simplicity of
tliis machine is its leading feature —it is not liable to get
out of order, and any negro of ordinary capacity is com
petent to use it. One harvester, with proper care, will
last a series of years.

TO THE LADIES.
1> ECEIVI NG recently a letter from a young lad./ •*
V Alabama, 1 shall take the liberty of puVi lung *
portion of it, aud shall also takeoccasion to make the .o'*
ject of that letter serve me byway of a ‘'text’’ for my ad
vertisement of this week ; and in doing so it will, I km-w,
be duly regarded and appreciated by the ladies, especial
ly the young ladies, who make personal appearance and
attraction a study. There is no country in the world that
can produce a greater array of pretty faces than ours, ami
it is also true that there is no country \\ here there are
few finely developed forms anion g the female sex a in
ours. Why is this i Why Is it that the ingenuity of tho
milliner aud dress-maker is taxed to tho utmost to giva
the appearance of reality t Why Dit tlmt forms oi;r<.
fail, round aud plump, have become shrunken, thin and
bonj f But to the lettor:
“Dkau Sir:—Wok* it not from eon vat ion of vour
hospitable feelings towards a good number of patten
who annoy you with the narrat nos tYivohut and i\:
cied ailments, 1 should never bo emboldened to uud,.
take so awkward a task as the consulting you iu nil at 1.
to myself; and if, after stating iny condition, which l
conceive to be the result of some disease—what. F kno.*
not —you should regard it as purely of the imagination,
rather than actual disease, a statement to that effect from
you would, 1 aiu confident, prove as remedial to the fan
cv, as would your remedies, did actual disease exi t
“1 have always enjoyed the best of health, and up to
the present time hardly have known w hat pain or suffei
tug was. ldo not now remember ever to have had a
spell of sickness, or being in anyway indisposed, with the
exception, perhaps, of an occasional and but very slight
headache. My appetite is good—perhaps too good I
digest my food without .difficulty; can walk without it
tigue. 1 sleep well, and can sav, as l have already said,
that l apparently enjoy the best of health. Yet, not with
standing the mass of testimony in favor of my being en
tirely exempt from disease, there is a condition of system
that lam unable to account for. 1 allude to the fact th .t
for the last 18 or 24 months 1 have entirely lost therotun
dity of form which has always been natural to me up t •
the time referred to. It is now near two year * -fhee 1
first discovered that 1 was gradually losing* tiesh, and at
the present time, my arms, neck, and in fact tho whole
person, which was ©nee full, round and firm, are now w
ry much shrunken, attenuated ami bony. Believing that
such a condition of body could not take place, at any
rate continue to exist tor so long a period, without havh . .
for its cause diseased action somewhere, I applied for
medical advice, but without gaining either sat isfaction oi
any benefit. 1 was told by one physician that I would
regain my tiesh after a while—by another that 1 would
recruit as soon as cold weather came,and by another that
as soon as warm weather came l would be as fleshy as
ever. Ami now, sir. I apply to you, not only foranopln
ion, but for treatment, if. in your judgment, the case d
mauds it," Ac., See.
Most certainly does the ease demand treatment, aud for
two reasons, viz : that diseased actiou may bo removed,
and that the rotundity of form may be restored. The lut
ter is accomplished by the removal of the former, which
is not only the cause iu the above case, but in all otin-i .
of like character. The idea that a thin, spare habit i*
natural to some, is entirely erroneous; for iu every iu
stance it is the result of disease, either hereditary or pi,
duced by natural causes. As a matter for consideration
by physicians, this one has been almost totally disregard
ed; and one of greater importance can scarce be men
fumed : Important not only from the fact that vital organ*,
are diseased, and also because of that disease, beauty ui
form and comeliness are sacrificed.
Let us now look into tho cause of this trouble * What
is it < Why this shrunken, lean aud bony condition?
It is a faulty nutrition ; the body is imperfectly nourished
from the fact that good, rich and healthy blood is not pi e
sent, ami through which alone can the body bo well non t
ished and duly developed. Why is not good, rich and
healthy blood present i —for certainly, in many cn ;c .
there is no lack of appetite, or of good, substantial, and
wholesome food, and a plenty of it, which makes good
blood. The reason is simple—for although there is n *
wanting of appetite, or of good food, and in abundant- -,
yet the food is not taken up and carried into the elrcula
tion, or at any rate but a small portion of it—aud win •
Because of the congested state of the digestin' organs
This is the trouble — tho system is in that precise saum
state that it would be were it in a half starved condition
And now, how is it that a congested state of tho digesftx •
organs prevents the food from being carried into the elr
dilation and converted into good blood. Those who ha \>•
read my advertisement of last week are fully acquainted
1 think, with the way that the food is carried into the o' 1
dilation in the form of chilo, and converted into bloc* ,
and It now only remains for mo to give the reason why U *
is not, iu the condition under consideration, carried trier.;
and converted into good blood. The mucus membrane
which lines the stomach continneson into the bowels and
lines them also; it is one continuous membrane. 1 hav
already described how, in the upper bowels, tlielr side.
are pierced with an innumerable number of little orifices,
which are mouths of little vessels or tubes, whose otli, *
it is to absorb or take up the food after it is formed bit *
chile and pass ii along into a large vein, and on through
this vein is the chile carried to the heart, from whence if
is propelled to the lungs, and there, by its coming in cm.
tact with the atmosphere, is converted into Mood, an.l
now ready for purposes of nutrition or nourishing th
body. From the lungs, it is (now being made into good
blood) brought back to the heart again through large
veins and from the heart sent throughout the entire sv
tem through tho arteries.
Now the mucus membrane which lines the stomach ami
the bowels also dips into these little mouths of the \.
sels above spoken of, and also lines them. Ami I think
now it can be easily seen that when the dlgosth e organs
are in a congested and inflamed condition, that there i
more or less of a swollen state of that mucus membrane,
and in consequence of tho swollen state of the membrane
the mouth of those vessels, from their being so very mi
nute, would be entirely closed up, which would of course
prevent the taking up of the chile and of its being carried
on into the circulation, and in consequence of its not »>.•
ing taken up by these vessels it is passed on through tin*
bowels and expelled, and without the system receiving
any benefit of its nourishing properties.
It is plain, then, from the foregoing, that our remedial
measures must be directed to the digestive organs, for it is
by the congestion of these organs that this'shrunkeu, ntton
uatedand bony condition is brought about. What shall
be our remedies i Those that will remove the congested
state and iostoro them to a healthy condition. In ad
vanee of all other remedial means, is the using of BLISS
DYSPEPTIC REMEDY, and the following out of all
the directions accompanying it, and by so doing and per
severing in the taking ot the remedy, not only every \ «• <
tige of tho disease will be removed, but a gradual ami
steady improving in flesh and rotundity of form will b.
the result.
It is the experience of every one, and it lias often boon
made the subject of remark by those who have taken the
Remedy for sometime, that it makes them to gain in He- li,
and if 1 have been understood above, it will now In* seen
it does it, viz: by removing the congested state of the di
gestive organs, w hich prevents the manufacture of good,
healtby blood, and consequently proper nourishment <«i
the body.
