Tbe demand for money to day in all quarters, in

Tbe demand i* explained by the circumstance that
it was requisite to provide to-day for the bills falling

The principal feature was the freedom with which

quoted a trifle higher, and three mouths paper on

Mu Al l.sor MI HIS PItOPOSALTO THE GoVtKN
MEM — On Thursday last, we announced that Mr.
Thomas Allsop, for w hose apprehension a warrant
has been issued charging him will, conspiring to as
sassiuate Napoleon, had offered to surrender it his
government would guarantee the expenses of his
detonoe. This announcement has been copied into
ail the principal newspapers of the country, and has
been plaee.l before the government No answer has
,et however, been received; although we believe
o.K, may be expected in a tew days, tbe government
having Ihe matter under consideration. Since the
article iu which we made known Mr Ahsop s inten
tion was published, a relative of the accused has
corroborated our information, and has vernhed cur
belief that Mr. Allsop knew nothing of the consp la
cv lki ! Napoleon. The gentleman who Las thus
confirmed our autioipatif us and our announcement,
writes: . .
“1 have now to state unhesitatingly, aud with a!
the emphaaii of which language is capable, that Mr.
TlMomaM Allsop i# entiiely innocent,ot the charges
laid against him, that he had no complicity iu the
attempt of the 14th of January—and not only that
he hau uo complicity, but tuat be had no know,edge
that they or auv other attempt was to be made, and
that he derived'his first information of it from the
newspaper placard when on Ids way to his office
oil the billowing ,1 orning. All this can be tullj sub
stantiated by proof, and Mr. Alliop is williug to
come forward at once and answer any charge that
raav be made against him, but he is not prepared to
undergo a gratuitous and lei gtheued imprisonment
previous to trial, nor is he willing to rum hunself
neeumanly ir. defending himself against the power
o! two governments, both desirous of sacrificing
him to a presumed necessity of states,'raft. It means
can lie found to obviate these two evils by a day be
„, e named for his trial, and his expenses guaranteed
to him in the event of his uiuo. euoe being proved,
he is willing to surrender on the uay named, and
abide Iris trial. . . . , , , „
A communication on tins subject has. 1 believe
been made ‘o the government, the issue ot w hich
will be known iu a few days. In the meantime 1
have to rtuuest that the public will suspend their
judgment eu the whole ass air until an oportumty of

Francs:. —The Paris correspondent ol the Lon

Mune uneasiness in Paris. The fatality that was

to be present on this occasion. From Berne the

been received —‘Tn.e Freuch Miuistvr has again
insisted that the Federal Government shall estab

ground that those consulates are indispensable for

From Ihe New York Herald, of Friday.
Y ellow Fever on Boui-d ■ lie Sirs',iiebnunn.
The United States steam frigate Susquehanna,
Captain Joshua R. Sands, arrived at this port last
evening from Nicaragua via Port Royal, Jam.,
where six officers and fifty-seven men were landed,
sick with yellow fever. She has had 155 cases in
all, and seventeen deaths are known. She ia now
detained at yuarautine.
The following narrative of the cruise of the Sus
quehanna, and the origin and progress of the fear
ful epidemic on board, will be read with iutereet:
U'NITtD STATXS FrIOATK Susqt'KHANNA,
New York, Aprii 15, 1858. S
The arrival of the United States steam frigate
Susquehanna in tiie port of New York with the yel
low fever on board, which has disabled half of her
crew, you have doubtless heard of. I feel certain,
irowever, that a brief account will be acceptable
Besides, I wish to call the attention of the public to
the humane conduct of several noble-hearted En
glish naval officers who were instrumental in saving
tbe lives of many on board this ship.
The Susquehanna had been ordered from the
Mediterranean six months ago to Greytown, Cen
tral America, in consequence of Walker’s move
ment in that quarter. She arrived too late to take
a part in the expedition that led to his capture, but
her orders obliged her to remain in that harbor—a
place subject to influences of a deadly character in
the way of miasma, produced by lagoons of fresh
water, many of them stagnant. This, with the
brackish water of the anchorage, enfeebled tiie
health of the officer- and crew to such an extent a ■
to prepare them tor any epidemic. It first showed
itself by causing fits of vomiting. Alas, this was
tbe forerunner of yellow fever, which made its ap
pearance about the llith of M arch—three of the
crew having died suddenly within a day of each
other, and one from black vomit. The ship was
then taken outside to sea, in hopes that a change
of climate would prove beneficial, and it seemed to
have that effect for a few days, we only losing one
man, though cases of fever still occurred.
After cruising a few days the ship anchored out
side of the harbor, some three miles from Grey
town, waiting for the arrival of the Jamestown,that
lmd been ordered some time before to this place.
As the fever broke out on the 30th ult. with re
newed violence, it was deemed best to get under
way, and on the night of the Ist it raged violently,
and some four (slicers and upwards of forty men
were on the eick list. Aeonsullation was then held
by the Captain, Surgeon and officers of the deck,
aud it was decided to run for Pensacola, being the
nearest hospital in the United States where the
sick could be lauded and the ship broken out. The
vessel was then beaded to the north—fever still on
the iucrease—-and, to make it worse, it was found
ou the 3 J that the coals were running short, and
there would not be sufficient to carry us to Pensa
cola The medicines also were short, besides tho
want of proper nourishmont for the sick. These
circumstances induced the Captain to make for
Port Royal, Jamaica—then within four hundred
miles. The speed was increased to nine and ten
knots, for now 11 had become a question of life and
death with every one on board:
’Phe -Ith of April poor Lieutenant Henry YY r .
tjueen, of the marine corps, died, after an illness of
live days, which terminated in the black vomit
His remains were committed to the deep, amidst
tears aud regrets of his shipmatas. Far better
would it have been had he died in the battle upon
tbe plains of California, where he ou several ocoa
sums distinguished himself before the enemy during
the Mexican war.
The night of the3th saw us at anchor in the har
bor of Port Royal, where her British Majesty's ship
of-the-line Indus was bearing the flag of Vice Ad
miral Sir Houston Stewart, who immediately com
munieated with us, and when he heard of our dis
tressed condition—having nearly seventy down
with tire fever—he gave oiders at once that the na
val iioepital on shore should be put in order for the
reception es our sick. These orders were most
faithfully carried out by the surgeons, who worked
all night, so that by eight o’clock in the morning
six officers and flfty-Beven men were transported to
the hospital, where everything was provided for
their comfort that would tend to their recovery.
Theboatsof the English squadron from the In
dus, Imaum aud Devastation, nobly assisted in this
duty ; they even came provided with cote for the
sick men. Surely such oonduct deserves some suit
able acknowledgment from Congress. Vice Admi
ral Stewart, by this one act of humanity, has won
for himself a reputation that will contribute more
to his fame than all the battles he has beeuangaged
in, covering a long and brilliant career.
Commodore Kellett. also comes in for bis share of
our thanks and gratitude. All hail to those noble
hearted Englishmen, who generously risked their
lives in saving the crew of this vessel, for they did
not hesitate to place themselves in contact with the
sick wheu occasion demanded it.
The 6th aud ?th were employed in coaling ship,
and acme twenty more sent to the hospital. Tbe
Sth we got under way from Kingston and anchored
abreast of the naval hospital at Port lioyal; sent
ten men aud Lieut. Howell there. Heard also that
four of our men had died—they were very sick
when they left the ship. Mr Howell had a slight
attack, and as the ship was infected he was advised
to leave her. At this place we received on board
from the Indus Assistant Surgeon Fredk. H. Rose,
of the Royal navy, as au additional medical officer,
having volunteered to serve in our ship which had
become a pest house. Air. Rose came by permis
sion of Vice Admiral Stewart; certainly a most
praiseworthy act, and one that should not be for
gotten by the American people. Sugeon Pinkney,
iu consequence of his attention to the sick, was
seized with fever ; but his place has been well fill
ed by Dr. Maccoun, who has had much experience
in this disease. Out of ten ward room officers six
were taken sick ; of eight engineers only two ou
duty—the third engineer being John Harris, a fire
man, who has acquitted himself handsomely i the
same can be said of the crew, who volunteered to
di charge any duty they might be called upon to
do, many acting as firemen and coal passers.
Thus one half ot our crew were taken down,
nearly one hundred aud fifty. Fifteen deaths have
thus far occurred. Some forty cases of lever still
ou board, of milder form
On the L2th of April buried James Read, s&il
raaker*s mate, who died of fever ; the sick are doing
weiL Nothing but coming north sav.ed the survi
vors. Had we gone to Pensacola there is no telling
of the number of deaths that would have taken
place Every surgeon, ashore and afloat, recom
mended our going noith to a cold climate, and the
result has pioved the wisdom of that advice, for we
have lost but one man since leaving Kingston—
James Read, sailmaker’s mate. He, poor fellow,
was taken v ith a relapse, and died of black vomit
on the 11th ult.
■ The Susquehanna has always been in excellent
order—net even the yellow fever could impair the
discipline of the ship. The efleet cf this could be
seen by the alacrity with which a man would per
form the duty of one stricken down with the fever,
aud in many instances volu leer to do it.
Out ot a guard of marines, numbering some 3 ,
only 8 were on duty.
The sick list has diminished to about 30 cases.
We are also uuder many obligations to Mr. liar
risen, acting as American Consul at Kingston for his
father Our leaving Kingston so soon may be at
tributed to his promptness in carrying out the wishes
of the officers.
It is presumed that the Susquehanna will at once
go out of commission, or at least as soon as the sick
ran be landed, which should be done without delay,
it life is of any consequence in our navy.
The Flood i> the Mississippi.—A gentleman
* ho arrived in Xtw York direct from New Orleans,
via the Memphis, gives a deplorable account of the
destruction of property by the flood in that river.—
He stated that the river had pretty much, with few
exceptions, covered the ccuntry ou both sides of it
all the way from the mouth of Lake Providence to
Memphis—a distance of several hundred miles
People were seen in the upper stories of houses,
while the lower rooms were filled with water. Cat
tie were standing half submerged, while dogs were
resting on legs. In villages people were passing in
boats, and moving their effects to places of greater 1
safety. Even deer had been dislodged from their ;
coverts, and were seen rwimming in the Mississippi.
One fine specimen was taken while swimming
across the river in front of the bow of the boat.— }
This flood is said t*. be without precedent since the ,
year IS4I. and at many points it is said to be greater
than it. The extent of its carnage and destruction
of property cannot probably be known until the
inundation has partially’ subsided, communications
with many points having been interrupted or entire 1
ly cur eh The St. Louie Republican of Wednesday
says :
Tne river at this point is rising rapidly, with over
seventeen feet to Cairo. The whole batch of upper
rivers are on the risr, and we may as well prepare
for a bank lull. The flood in the Lower Miesissip
pi is not abating as fast as desired, and we are told
by an officer on the Pianet, which arrived last even
ing from r e South, that exists among
the inhabitants of the overflowed region. He says
that stock of all kinds can be seen occupying every
little kuol! or eminence in the fields, and some ot
them are placed on the eecoLd floors of etabies and
other outbuildings for safety ; much stock Las been
swept away and drowned; numbers were seen

The Territorial Legislature adjourii-a on tue —u
January, and during the whole session every vote
was unanimous. , .
It appears from some poetry or rhymes addressed
to Gen. D H. Wells, that all the Mormon troops
have returned to Salt Lake City. Ihe poet rays,
- our conquest is bloodless and best.
There is nothing in the News about the position
or condition of the United S-ates troops, nor ts any
thing said of any struggle of any kina with them.
The San Francisco Herald, says: —Notwithstand-
ing alt their boasting and bragadocio, we have posi
live advices that great destitution and want txist
at Salt Lake. The Elders were endeavoring to stir
tbe people up to produce everything lor themselves,
but theipspirits had gotten to a pretty low ebb, re
quiring all the address and tact of Brigham and the
Twelve t-* keep them to the Mormon grindstone.
|M jrmon Orders —About tbe 10th January an ci
der was issued by the church that the people should
have boxes made to contain about 150 pounds, to
pack their grain in them, and bring them to the E -
ders, who would take charge of them and “cache”
them in the inouptains.-
A not her order was issued, that a company of 1000
men should hold themselves in readiness to go into
the mountain on the 17th ot February, and cut off
supplies coming to the army.
lu the meantime forty wagons loaded with sup
plies had reached Col. Johnston’s command trom
Fort Laramie. Toe army was in good health, had
plenty ot provisions and good tents, aud wa3 en
gaged in rebuilding Fort Bridger.
The authorities of Salt Lake City are represented
as being still inclined for war. Measures are being
concerted for defeating the United S ates troops, or
at all events, keeping them outside the city till the
crops are gathered and secured.
Mormon Resolutions.—Mass meetings have
been held in ail the various districts and towns of
Utah, expressive of the people’s entire confidence
in Brigham Young, -and tinrir approval of his acts
and those of the Territorial Assembly. Their
spirit may be gathered from the following extracts:
Resolved , That we regard the movements of the
firesent administration, in sending their armed
egions into our midst, as a renewal of the persecu
tion, butcheries and horrid scenes of destruction
with which their eyes were gloated wheu we were
in their midst.
Resolved, That we highly approve of the consti
tutional, patriotic and humane course pursued by
his Excellency, Governor Brigham Young, in taking
efficient measures to intercept the progress of these
unwelcome, unasked and corrupting intruders.
Resolve and, That we fully approve of the resolu
tions passed in the Legislative Assembly, endorsing
aud approving the ads ot the Governor in relation
to the invading army ; and we heart ily concur in
the spirit apu sentiments expressed in the memorial
adopted in the Legislature Assembly, Jan. b,. 1858.
Resolved, That no officer appointed by the ad
ministration shall exercise any dominion over us
while their armies are menacing our Territory.
Resolved, That we would be recreant to every
principle of honor, patriotism, virtue, integrity,
self-respect aud common decency, should we tame .
ly submit, like the menial serfs of Russia, to be rul
ed by the bayonet.
Resolved , That inasmuch as we have many times
been driveu from our homes, and our farms aud ha
bitations having fallen into the hands of our perse
cutors, and they permitted to enjoy them in peace,
we are determined that henceforth our enemies shall
not possess the fruits of our labor; for we will burn
and utterly destroy everything we possess and that
our now comfortable homes shall again become a
barren waste, as we found it in the year 1847, rather
than a hostile enemy shall inhabit our dwellings,
and glut themselves on the produce of our farms
aud orchards.
Resolved, That we know most assuredly that the
course taken by his Excellency towards the mob on
our borders, reported to be United States troops,
lias been merciful, knowing as he did their avowed
object to bring misery and death upon an innocent
and unoffending people, and that we further know,
that had it not been for the confidence reposed in
his wise counsels by the people of this Territorj',
and for his restricting influence, and justly outraged
feelings of the whole community would have been
manifested in a manuer that would have effectually
put a stop to the progress of the invaders in the ear
ly part of their movements towards our mountain
home, and that they have abundant reason to thank
Gov. Young that they have not been sent from their
present hell to a lower one, by the shortest possible
route.
Address to the President. —Elijah F. Sheets,
Win. Moody and others, a committee on behalf of
tho citizens of Salt Lake City, have ad rested a
remonstrance to President Buchanan. They cite
the persecutions by which they were driven from
the Western States: the neglect of them by the
United States Government, and the appointment
iff “political scavengers” to rule them*. Os this
last item they say :
From the above cause. Judges of the Supreme
Court of this Territory have come here H3 ignorant
of law as ct common decency-have insulted the
people, aud outraged the dignity t ihe bench
They have permitted a public prostitut a, which they
imported, to sit with them upon the bench.
Nor is this all. They have cm day pet itioned the
President to continue Brigham Young as Governor,
because of his fidelity ami trustworthiness, and the
next intrigued for the appointment themselves.—
The accounts of the Marshal incurrS by the ex
press order of tiie Judges, were disallowed by the
advice of one of their number, who, the very next
pring, went to Carson Valley and bought several
thousand dollars of the Marshal’s drafts at fifty per
< eut. discount. Whether advices lroin Washing
ton induced him to indulge in the speculation, we
are unable to say.
Oue, and perhaps the only reason why the re
turning officials have been hostile to us is, tiiat the
United States appointees are usually the only ha
bitual loafers, drunkards and gamblers in the Terri
tory, aud parents have been compelled, in at: I do
fence, to hold them up to their children as an ex
ample which should never be imitated. Do our
best interests demand such rulers T—our intelli
gence such insult 7
Our Legislative Assembly of 1856-7 sent a me
morialto the President of ihe United Slates. In
that memorial were measurably enumerated what
we consider to be our constitutional rights, was
pointed out, in part, wherein we had been wronged,
and a request made tc have the Territorial offices
filled from a list appended; but if that should not
be done, to at least give us good men lor rulers. —
Was there anything io that document to warrant
the reception it met., even though we make allow
ance for that feeling in man which leads him to
think when a wrong action has been laid to hi*
charge, that the odium consequent thereupon is
also heaped upon him 1 T hat was not the case with
us ; we merely pointed out wrongs we had received,
and were willing to accept them as errors in judg
ment rather than intention.
A distinguished member of the Cabinet remarked
that he considered that memorial equivalent to a
declaration of war ; and for the same reason—there
is no other—the mail contract was taken from Mr.
Kimball, alter an expenditure of over SIOO,OOO,
from which there has been but a paltry return. —
Where is our boasted liberty, when objecting to
such officials as most who have been sent here,
whom every honest man is conscienWousiy bound
not to receive, disqualifies us, in the eyes of govern
ment, for the rights of freemen, brands us with the
name of traitors 7
Now, sir, let us examine the policy of the present
administration iu regard to Utah, bearing in mind
the following facts :
Ist. The government have not made treaties with
the Indians—have not paid us our just dues.
2d. They have heretofore appointed officers to
preside over our welfare whose very presence, it
is widely known, was an outrage ou common de
cency.
Jd. We petitioned, through our Assembly, to
have good men for rulers, and declared that such
would have been courteously received aud strictly
obeyed, but it was plainly stated that if such men
were sent here as had been previously, they would
be sent back.
4th. Because our Legislature dared to txtiuise
the right of petition, ws are denied mail facilities,
and branded as traitors.
Sth. The report* of the returning officials about
the injustice of our courts, the breaking up ot the
Supreme Court, and the rebellion of the Mormons,
are as base falsehoods as were ever hatched iu hell
or propagated by the devil.
From current report we Irani that you have ap
pointed and intend importing a full set of civil (?)
officers for Utah, even dew u to a Postmaster for
Great Salt Lake C.ty ; and that they are lully quali
fied to enjoy the eontempt so deservedly bestowed
by the L’ioniaus upon their predecessors, we are
satisfied beyond doubt.
We accept your hint, although it is rather deli
cate (t) tor the occasion, that you have not only de
nied us a voice in choosing our rulers, but have ap
pointed men the opposite of those we petitioned
for, and hvae determined to enforce them upon the
citizens of this Territory by placing 2,5 *0 I’ni.ted
States troops under their control, is this Ihe jus
tice that dwells in the breast of a chief magistrate 7
Have an hundred thousand people rights? You
have tried us without hearing onr defence; passed
sentence, not giving us the benefit of a doubt, and,
sir, we have no assurance that you will not attempt
to carry the rema uder of ,he sentence into effect.
Their cry has been, “Send an army to Utah—exter
. urinate the Mormons.”
We are fully convinced that the presence of an
i army can only be tolerated when the evil to be
| dispelled is greater than the evil of their presence.
It has been reiterated again and again, by the
troops selected to come here, tiiat they intended to
possess ou, house-, Blay our leaders, ravish our
wives and daughters, and pollute the pure valleys
of Utah with tueir fiendi.-h revelries This they
well knew would not be tamely borne, and thus
they would gain an excuse, under color of which, if
i they had the power, would be enacted those scenes
of bloodshed and cruel oppression which have no
parallel in history.
The army is now upon our borders. Nay they,
“ Our mission is peace ; we come to establish the
iaws.” is tbe business ot an army peace? What
iaws have we broken ’ Not the laws of the United
States nor of this Territory we dare pmof to the
contrary. If they come to establish the sommon
law of tireat Britain, or the by iaws of Bedlam, we
have law enough witheut, and their presence is an- j
necessary. If they come to crush out from our j
bosoms that noble feeling. American iudepeudeuoe
—hallowed by our fathers bicod, end btqueaiLed j
to u* as a sacred boon—the task is greater than j
thev can perform. Your army will not be permit-.
ted to enter our valleys. \\ e f*!, tor peace, but
we will sacrifice all t.re fruit* of our .aoors rather
than surrender our domestic peace and inalienable
it tas been provided, ana wisely so,
shat a majority of sufitagea shall erect the I icement
of this nation, does it follow that they nave a tight
to require that President to oppress tire minority .* ,
In fact we are thoroughly convinced that rasp i.nies
have no right which is not shared with minorities,
aud we submit that under the constitution and laws
of the United Slates, no mannas authority to de
mand anght whicu wti. interfere with the rights A
another Yet, if .go beyond popularly. where .
(. b vre find & sintrte reason for the prteL. aemoD
strations against Utah ’
Aud now, sir, ai vc ur Lands we demand that jus
tice which has ever been denied us. Pay us thqee
juri dues which have been so long and flleganywitL
held, and appoint gojd men to rule us, who have
discernment to pcree-ive our wants, anu sufficient
judgment to promote onr welfare, withdraw your
army, grant us our rights, aud receive bean ret gra
ti’.udc of a whole people.
Continue the injustice ot your present course, and
vour grave will be pointed out as that of the man
who breke the noblest of national compacts—your |
name be consigned to futur generation* with rest- ,

[translation.]
‘ But if it is believed that this proposed reform
should not be adopted, it appears necessary to
adopt some o!her course rather than to remain in
th: situation in which w© were placed by the law ot
June 15th, 1857.
“ What shall this course be 7
“ The incorporation oj the Stoles of Neic Grana
da ado the American Lnion, under the same con
ditton as the State* that already form that Con
federacy. %
*Tf we do not recorgauize ourselves on a solid
basis, such an incorporation is for us the means of
resolving the difficulties under which we labor.
“This course will be better than to remain in the
situation that we are now in.
“Let us become a part of the American Union,
and tue States ot New Granada will find themselves
in condition as are the States of New York,
Pennsylvania, and the other States of the Comede
ration ; eDjoyiug internally the protection that the
power of that gi eat* people can insure us ; and pre
serving our Government aud the means of better
ing our internal condition, without risk trom those
Yaud&lic incuisious with which w’e are at present
threatened.
“The resources which our country has to fulfill its
obligations will acquire an immense value; because
we shall be rid of the fears that our precarious posi
tion ought naturally to inspire, and which discourag
es agriculture and commerce. Our public and*
w ill be in great demand for cultivation, our rivers
will be improved,, apd our commerce be prodigious
ly extended. The income from our wild lands, from
the customs, and from all the national properties
will g.ve the Government of the Union more than
means sufficient to pay the public debt that presses
so heavily .upon us, at the same time that indivi
dual prosperity wid iucrease in a most notable de
gree.
“Our public iands will be in demand, cn which to
establish an agricultural population, because then
the buyers can count upon that security in working
loem that cannot be guaranteed to them in
ihe situation in which we are at present placed.
• VVe lack security, because the constant threats
of Europeau nations make us fear for the interrup
tion of commerce, which would result from the pro
ducts of the soil, and because they make us fear
that our laborers must be turned into soldiers, aud
tlmt our earnings must go to pay the expenses of
war.
“Incorporate the Granadian Stat es into the Ameri
can Union, and tbe respectability of that great na
tion wilt preserve us from all these inconveniences,
will give us all the importance which tiiey possess,
and end the insecurity which lessens our populatiou
ami paralyzes every business.
“We shall lose a nominal nationality to acquire a
potent real oue, that will be respected throughout
the world.
“Our race will gradually mix with the Anglo
Saxon race.
“But ail this will in nothing diminish our pros
perity, neither prejudice the future of our children,
nor cause any positive evil.
“VVe shall preserve the same internal govern
ment that we now possess, while we shall be re
lieved from external afi'airs which will all be trans
ferred to the Government of tbe Union.
‘ This new condition will be without doubt better
than that we now are in, and the critical condition
we may find ourselves in if the country shall rest
some years longer without reconstructing itself in
a solid manner that sba'l give well founded hopes
of our becoming a great nation.
“1 have spoken with Sincerity, citizen Senators
and Representatives, my opinions upj ou? political
r tuaiiQU and upon the different modes by which
we can better it. Exempt from preoccupations of
race and nationality ; free from antipathies, which
are but the ageuis ot poetical illusions; aud frank
aud loyal in the expression of my thoughts, I have
presented a plan of political orgauiz >tin which I
believe will secure us in the pre-erv .rioa of our na
tioualhy ; whilst I have presented the dangers that
surround us if we do not adopt it, and proposed the
least disadvantageous course to be pursued in such
an emergency.’’
Itbms OK Panama News.—Tue passengers by
the steamship Northern Light, ol the oppoeilion
line, which vessel . left New York on the 10th of
March, arrived at Aspinwall on the 30th but did not
leave this port until the 30th, the Orizaba having to
coal at Taboga, under great, but not unforeseen
difficulties. During five days of this time the pas
seugeis were left to shift for themselves, but more
than two hundred of them not having a red cent,
they succeeded but imperfectly in dciDg so. These
two hundred men, women and children, slept under
street balconies, in tbe open air, in the locomotive
sir dr of the railroad company, in the baggage-cars
or on the turn tables. The agent, professing to have
no authority from the owners nor no money to help
Uiese poor passengers, the agent of the Pacific Mail
Steamship Company distributed bread and beef
among them, and the railroad company afterwards
issued them free meal tickets. Iu future,, pasaen
geis traveling with an opposition company had
better prepare themselves with at least s3ll each,
to provide against the necessity of becoming men
dicants.
A shocking murder took p'uce here iu open day
ou the 17th. An American by the name of Frede
rick McFarland, formerly of New York, was attack
ed in a scurrilous communication iu a paper edited
by a Jamaica negro, named A. H. Judah, establish
ed as the organ of the Hurtados, one of whom is the
Government candidate for Governor af the State.—
Mr. Me f arland proceeded to the office demand the
name of the author of tire communication and being
unable to get it, left lor his shop in the Clenega, with
threats to cowhide the editor if lie would not give
up the name. When he reached his shop he found
Jud h there apparently waiting for him, with a dag
ger in ht3 hand. A few words passed between
them, when Judah ran at McFarland with his knife,
tho latter retiring into an inuer room, holding up
before him his walking stick aud telliug Judah to
keep off Judah continuing to advance with his
knife, McFarland struck him with his stick, as he
could no longer get out of his way. Upon this,
Judah clinched McFarland, and inflicted three or
four deep wounds ou him with the knife, causing
his death in less than half an hour. Judah was ar
rested, but being the organ of the government par
ty with the Jamaica negroes, will go free. McFar
land was one of the principal sufferers by the Pana
mu massacre in 185(i, and has a claim of several
thousand dol.ars against this government in eonse-
quence.
Prosecution or Officials Concerned in the
Panama Massacre.— I The Attoney General of the
Nation (Senor Gonzales) has addressed a note to
the State Attorney of Banama, requesting him to
prosecute Gov. Fubrega and his officers for the
crimes of the loth April. In view of the fact that,
a year ago, Senor Gonzales declared that on exaini
nation no cause of action could be found against
Gov. Fabrega, this request would go to show the
report to oe correct that Gen. Cas3 has demanded
the punishment of these criminal*. But there is no
probability that the edict will be respecred, as the
men now in power here are already throwing out
that the State amnesty law of the last session of the
Legislature covers any fault tiiat Fabrega and hie
gang may have committed. Really, however, no
State law can legally shield a criminal from offences
committed against the nation.
The Cass llekan Convention. —Our news from
Bogota I.- important. On the llilli of February
President Ospina laid the Cass Herau convention
for the settlement of the Panama massacre before
the Senate, when that body refused to consider it
by a vote of eleven against seven. This vote caus
ed considerable excitement in Executive aud Gov
ernment circles, and measures were immediately
taken to influence a reconsideration, and with suc
cess. On the 20th, the vote was reconsidered by
nine yeas to seven nays. Three cf t hose who voted
against the consideration on the Itith were absent
cn the 20th, oue claiming to be sick, and the other
two offering no excuse for their absence. General
Mosquera, father in law of Gen. Herran, who has
always pretended to be bitterly opposed to the con
vention, voted for the reconsideration. On the 22d,
Gen. Mosquera offered the following proposition :
“To refer to a special committee the convention
wi h the United States, who will report anew to the
Senate, taking into consideration the discussions of
to day aud all the antecedents of the question.'’
i his proposition was accepted, and Gen. Moaque
ra and Senores Anaya and Vega were appointed as
the committee. Anaya is said to be in favor of the
convention and \ ega against it.

A mutiny is reported to have broken out on

THINGS TO REMEMBER!
READ THEM.
As it is always beat that men who have busi
ness transactions together. bl)< -uld understand each
other fully, we hope every reader of the Chronicle
& Sentinel will read and remember what follows :
THREE DOLLARS A YEAR
The terms of the Weekly Chronicle & Sentine
are three dollars* year; of,
TWO DOLLARS A YEAR,
If paid in advance or within three months after the
commencement of the subscription year. After
that time three dollars will invariably be
charged.
That every subscriber may “save his dollar,”
a notice will be sent in his paper, a few weeks be
fore his time expires, notifying him ou what day his
subscription terminates.
Errors Corrected.
If any mau perceives the slightest error in his
bills, let him inform us immediately, and we will
cheerfully correct it. No necessity for getting into
a passion about it. All we want is what is right
and just, and we do it when we know it.
Marriages, Deaths, Obituaries.
The price for publishing a Marriage or Death,
fifty cents. The money must always accompany
the order.
The charge for publishing Obituaries is ten cents
for each printed line.
How to Write to nu Editor,
First, write the name of your Post Office, plainly,
at the head of your letter. Then state, in aifew
words as possible, to make yourself understood’
what you wish, and sign your name so that it can be
read.
If you wish your paper changed from one Post
Office to another, do it in these words :
“Change my paper from P. O. to
P. 0.”
Be certain to write the name of both Post Offices
plaiuly, and always name the Post Office at which
you have been receiving your paper.
A subscriber can discontinue his paper at any
time he wishes. All lie has to do, is to request it in
a note, or return the paper marked “Refused” and
write the name of his Post Office on the margin.
We wish every Postmaster would remember aud
observe these suggestions tor changing and stopping
papers. If they would, their duties would be much
more correctly and satisfactorily performed.
If you write any man ou your own business, and
wish a reply, enclose a postage stamp to pay the
postage on the reply. It is enough to tax a man’s
time to reply to your letters ou your own business
without taxing him to pay the postage.
We Always Semi lieceipts.
If you send us money and do not receive a receip*
in a reasonable time, either in your paper or in a
letter, write us immediately and inform us that yo
have sent the money. For, in these days of Post
Office thieving, every letter containing money does
not reach its destination.
Money Mailed at our ltisk.
We take the risk on all money mailed to us, if the
bills are not cut. If cut, the party sending them
takes the risk.

The May number of the Cultivator is on our ta
ble, and upon an inspection of its pages, we find

The Eclectic Mnaiizine.
This is a Magazine of Foreign Literature, pub
lished in Now York, by W. H. Bidwell, and con
tains “the cream of the Foreign periodicals.” It is a
large Octavo, published monthly, handsomely print
ed and stitched, in neat covers, each number con
taining 144 pages, illustrated with one or more
choice and appropriate Engravings. Terms $5.00
a year.
This simple announcement of the character of the
work, affords high evidence of its worth, to which
we cheerfully bear testimony. Its merits are ad
mirably sketched in the following paragraphs :
For thirteen years the Eclectic has found favor
with the public, and high commendation from the
press, for the sterling worth and permanent value
of its pages.
Ite design and purpose is to present to its readets
the choicest treasures of thought, aud the ablest
productions of European writers, as they appear in
the Reviews and Periodicals of Great Britain and
the Continent.
These sources furnish many of the richest fruits
of the literary activity of the age—eloquent forms
of thought, taste, and expression. These will adorn
the pages of the Eclectic.
This plan of selecting the choicest articles from
the noble family of European periodicals, furnishes
an amount of literary reading, wlrch could not be
obtained in its original form, except at an exorbi
tant cost; aud ihe excellence and attractiveness of
which no one magazine could hope to equal. It is
literary gold without dross—mental nutriment for
youth or age, without moral poison.
Its combined excellencies and permanent value
give it a just claim to a place in every well-selected
public and private library.
The Hon. A. B. Longstreet, whose judgment
and good taste in such a matter, will not be ques
tioned, thus speaks of the Fclcctic:
South Caromna College, /
Columbia, March 2d, 1858. $
I have long been a reader of the Eclectic Maga
zine. aud I regard it as unsurpassed by any work of
the kind, in our country for valuable reading. The
selections are judiciously made from the whole cir
cle of foreign periodicals, and rarely is one found,
which is not of lively interest, or profound instruc
tion. A. B. Longstreet.
Mr. K. Koot, the Agent of the Eclectic is now in
Augusta for the purpose introducing it to our citi
zens, upon whom be will call.
Mr. Everett.
The Charleston Courier of Monday morning says:
The Hon. Edward Everett, after the most enthu
siastic reception, aud successful demonstration, at
Columbia, retnrned to this city, via the South Caro
lina Railroad, on Saturday last, at 2 o’clock P. M.,
and again became the guest of Mr. Petigru. His
purpose, in departing from his programme, and re
visiting our city, was partly to pass the Sabbath
here, and chiefly to obtain letters from bis family.
Mr. Everett designed to proceed to Macon, by
the South Carolina Road at 7 o'clock.this morniong,
in fulfilment of his Southwestern engagements, but
the receipt, yesterday, of the expected letters, con
taining unwelcome tidings , has, we deeply regret to
say, compelled him again tojpostpone his Southwest
ern tour, and he will leave this city, for the North,
this afternoon, by the Northeastern Kail Road.
Our sister cities of the Southwest will, we know,
deeply feel and lament this renewed disappoint
ment of their hopes, but no more deeply and sin
cerely than he who moat reluctantly inflicts it.
We refer our -eaders to Mr. Everett's card,
which we subjoin:
A CARD.
The subscriber, having, this day, received letters
from his family, which again make it necessary for
him to return borne, begs leave, in this way, to ex

have honored him with invitations to repeat his ad
dress, “on the Character of Washington, ’ his deep
regret that he is obliged a second time to postpone
the fulfillment of hie engagements.

Elopemest — home western papers are making
merry over the abduction of a young girl fifteen
years of age, and marryiDg her against the consent
of her father The fun of the thing Is that the ad
venturer is poor ; the father wealthy, and refused
his consent to the marriage of a daughter but little
more than a child in years. What a treasure to a
community is a discreet press inculcating ouch les
sons ot filial respect and affection ‘.—Nat. Intelli
gencer.
We commend the above, says the Philadelphia
American, to the calm reflection of a number of our
exchanges. The habit referred to is quite preva
lent among a certain class of editors, who chuckle
over cases of elopemrnt like the one quoted, as
though there was something del : ghtftil in the enter
ptise of penniless adventmers and romantic school
girls. The press must not expect people to respect
it when editors degrade its functions and inflict an
injury upon the moral tone of the rising generation.
Young America is pert, forward and presumptuous
enough, in ali conscience, without being encouraged
and stimulated by those who Bhould repress its heed
less ardor. It is the fault of our country and of our
age, that our youths are ungovernable and disobe
dient There is too little restraint exercised over
them. The lamentable abeenoe of wholesome dis
cipline is visible everywhere. But surely journal
ists ought not to applaud'or encourage it.

Who is lo Blame ?
The Southern Democratic organs have been very
much exercised lately, in their efforts to ascertain
who is to blame, lor the failure of Congress to ad
mit Kansas with the Lecompton Constitution, and
iq their anxiety to preserve the harmony of the De
mocracy, regardless of the freeeoiiiem of the North
ern wing, have, with few exceptions, fixed the blame
on the six Americans who voted against Lecomp
ton. From this decision the Montgomery Advertt
ter, a leading Democratic journal of Alabama dis
sents, and in the following paragraph fixes the
blame where it properly belongs. We commend its
perusal to the Southern Democracy generally. The
Advertiser says :
“The American party has defeated Kansas!—
Wonderful discovery! How will the great aud
glorious Democracy of the South be prepared to
hear that a miserable aud contemptible minority of
Keutucky aud Maryland Know Nothings, whenev
er were of sufficient importance to deserve even the
calculation of their votes, and whose only merit
was their insignificance, have suddenly become
powerful enough to defeat the South upon a ques
tion of most vital import to her safety and honor.—
Will not the Democracy of the South, who have
worked so long and so nobly for the success of the
Constitution aud the South, aud who had the satis
faction of summing up a majority for their party of
twenty-four votes at the opening of Congress, be
astonished to hear that the majority had been over
come by five Know Nothings. Five scattering
votes overturn a solid minority of
Tiiis plain expose elicited some oodßlSnts from
the Confederation another organ of the Ala
bama Democracy, to which the Advertimr responds
as follows;
“ In our issue of the lith, we took issue with the
Confederation as to the responsibility of Mr. Crit
tenden for the defeat of the Kansas bill, and by
facts which the Confederation has not attempted
to assail, showed that the responsibility for the de
feat of the Kansas bill in a house that had a dear
national Democratic majority of twenty nine votes
over a!! opponents, rested upon the Northern Demo
cracy. We proved from irrefutable facto, that the
Know Nothingparty, numbering but fourteen votes,
had not the power to defeat a bill supported by the
National Democracy. We argued that the Kansas
bill was a National Democratic measure, aud an
Administration measure, and therefore demanded
the support of the National Democratic majority in
the House It was clear that such a measure might
be opposed by the anti-Demoerats of every stripe,
particularly by such as Crittenden, whom the Con
federation admits was imbued with the hatred of
everything Democratic. We argued, therefore,
that the country did not give its confidence, or re
pose trust , or look lo Crittenden and the Know
Nothing vote to carry this great National Demo
cratic measure, but it had given its confidence and
looked to the National Democracy to carry through
that measure against all opposition! Our figures
proved that ticenly-two Northern Democrats op
posed that measure, together witii six Kuow Noth
ings, aud we argued that the chief blame for this
great wrong rested with these Northern Democrats.
We were for telling the whole truth to the country,
and not for concealing the treason of the sworn
friends of Kansas, because they happened to be
long to the Northern National Democracy. We are
for saving the Southern Democracy ; unlike the Con
federation, we love that more than we do the North
ern Democracy.”
Young’s Spirit of the South.
We have received tin first number of a hand
some weekly paper, with the above title, the pros
pectus of which has been some time before the pub
lic. New Orleans was originally intended as the place
of publication, but Nashville was finally selected en
account of its more central location. It is intended
as a Southern Chronicle of the Turf, Field Sports,
Literature and the Stage, aud we hope will receive
a fair share of the support with which the Northern
“ Spirits” have been so liberally favored. The pub
lisher says that the “ interest of the manufacturer
and plauter, as well as the amusement of the sports
man, will be alike the object of the Spirit of the
South, aud at all times a medium through which the
representatives of each may tell their several wants.”
We hope and believe that the enterprise will meet
with abundant encouragement and success. It is
published at five dollars a year, by William H.
Young, Nashville, Tenn.
Congressional Economy.—We find the sub
joined paragraphs in our exchanges. They afford
very satisfactory evidence of the corruption of Con
gress :
Contingent Expenses of the U. 8. House of
Representatives.—The “ peoples” are hardly
aware of what the items are in the list of “ contin
gent expenses” of Congress. In the said list for
1857, we find the following items Albums,
plain aud illustrated, $282 ; Ladies’ Retinites , $242 ;
Ladies’ Portmonaies , $.147 ; Card Cases, $177;
Odor Cases, $121; Knives, $6,000; Cigar Cases,
$97 ; Pearl Shopping Tablets, $247 ; Ladies’ Com
panions, $047. The items named can hardly fail to
prove gratifying to the constituents of members as
evidencing a highly refined and feminine taste pre
vailing among their representatives.
Extravagance of “Picture Books.”—The
New-York Tribune states that, for lithographing
and printing in colors a single ox, for the Patent
Office Report, the sum of $10,576 was paid to Wag
ner & McGuigan—for a similar service for one bull,
the sum of $10,576 ; for a cow, the Bum of $7,500;
aud for one horse, the sum of $5,576.
House Rents in London. —Houses in the centre
of Loudon, adapted to the occupation of profession
al gentlemen, and containing from twelve to sixteen
rooms, with water conveyed by pipes to the various
apartments, and other modern conveniences, rent
for two hundred and fifty dollars. The same houses
if pleasantly situated in Augusta would command a
rent of from five to seven hundred dollars.
Religion a Foundation of Greatness.—Milton
makes religion the foundation of true greatness.—
In promising to undertake something that might be
of use and honor to his country, he says : —“This is
not to be obtained but by devout prayer to that
Eternal Spirit, that can enrich with all utterance
and knowledge, and sends out His seraphim with
the hallowed fire of his altar, to touch and purify
the lips of whom He pleases. To this must be added
industrious and select reading, steady observation,
aud inaigbt into all seemly and generous arte and
affairs.”
Humored Slave Insurrection at St. Croix.—
Capt. Ward, of the bark Hyperion, from Trinidad
(Port Spain,) arrived at New York Monday, reports
having touched at West End of St. Croix, about 2d
inst., and that a echooner had just arrived at that
place full of passengers, fleeing from an insurrec
tion that had taken place on that island. An En
glish war steamer lying at West End, immediately
got under way and proceeded to Antigua. No
further particulars are given.
Elopement.—The London Morning Herald of
March 25th, says We are sorry to learn that the
youthful and only daughter of a wealthy common
er, and neice of a noble earl, has, within the last
twenty-four hours, eloped with a nobleman holding
a prominent position in society, and whose name is
as familiar as ‘ household words’’ to our readers,
from having repeatedly appeared before the public.
The nobleman alluded to is, we regret to say, a
married man, but for some years he has been es
tranged from his wife, who, we believe, is now resi
ding abroad. It is presumed the guilty couple have
fled to the continent, as they were traced to Dover*
yesterday afternoon.
The Lakes of Minnesota. —A con espondent of
the Minnesotian supplies that paper with a table
giving the dimensions of ninety-three Lakes in
Minnesota, comprising the larger number of those
most known. Thousands of others of smaller ex
tent are distributed over the surface of the country,
and a great many of a mile or two in length have
been omitted for want of a name. The largest
Lakes in the State, according to this table, are —
Red Lake, in Pembina county, thirty miles long by
twenty wide; 13ig Stone Bake, thirty miles long by
three wide; Mille Lac, twenty miles long by filteen
wide; Lac Traverse, twenty-five miles long by
three wide; and Leech Lake, twenty miles long by
eleven wide. Most of the list, however, are from
one and a half to six miles long, and from one to
three miles wide. The water in all these Lakes is
perfectly pure and sweet, and they are all of great
beauty of shore and surroundings. The Lakes of
Minnesota form a distinguishing feature of the coun
try, and lend an air of romance to the country.
A Horrible Affair. —The Macon Telegraph
says that a dreadful crime was committed on Maj.
Blevin’s plantation, in Houston county, last Tues
day afternoon, upon the person of Mrs. Bryant, the
young wife of Major blevin’s overseer. She had
retired after dinner to take a nap, and sometime
thereafter the servants outside the house, hearing
moans, entered her room and found her frightfully
mutilated about the head and shoulders by blows
from an axe. An old negro woman and young ne
gro girl about the house were arrested, and confess
ed to making the assault while the unfortunate lady
was asleep. She was alive up to Saturday night
but so much injured as to render it doubtful, even
if life is spared, whether she will ever regain the
full use of eer faculties. The affair naturally crea
ted the most intense excitement, and there was
some disposition to execute the perpetrators on the
spot, but they were finally committed to the jail in
Perry, to stand trial in Houston Superior Court
next week. The old negro woman is, we under
stand, a negro ot very bad character.
Cotton in SaaN Salvador.— A correspondent ot
the San Francisco Bulletin furnishes that paper
with a letter written by H. G. Foote, H. B. M.
Consul at San Salvador, upon the resources ot that
Republic. Mr. Foote has long resided in the State,
and is engaged in raising cotton and coffee, as well
as in attending to the interests of Great Britain.—
We extract that portion of the letter which relates
to cotton growing :
I am planting, according to my capital, slowly
and surely, # both coffee and cotton. The cotton of
this country is of a beautiful fibre, short staple, but
as fine as silk. In no part of the worid have I seen
such a fine staple as that in a parcel grown near
Izalco. My own small crop is not a bad specimen,
although grown between my coffee trees. On some
of the shrubs I counted ninety to one hundred bolls.
The climate is peculiarly adapted to cotton plant
iDg. We plant in August. From the time of
planting until the boll is formed and ready to hurst,
\?e have warm, gentle showers, and only occasional
ly heavy ones; bnt having Intervals of sun, the rains
never drown or injure the plant. This continues
until about the end of the month of November,
when the rains cease altogether, the boll bursts,
and th e cotton shows itself, fine, white and usunl
lied. Nature has done all for Central America—
man, nothing au yet —but it is impossible that a
country so blessed in climate and productiveness,
can remain much longer unknown to the world.
Arrest of Suspected Murderers— I Two rnen,
suspected of being implicated in the murder of Mr.
Landrum, near Atlanta, last week, have been ar
rested. Their names are Jones and Cobb.
General Jail Delivery.— Six criminals made
their escape from the jail in Columbia, 8. C. on
Wednesday last. They effectedjtheir deliver nee
by means of skeleton keys, manufactured by one
of the prisoners from the rim of a tin basin allowed
him to wash in.
Mr. Everett has consented to visit Mobile and
New Orleans before returning to the North. In
the former place he will be the guest of Madame
LeVert.
Emigration to Kansas. —On tha 20th ult., the
steamers Platte Valley, War Eagle, SiouY City,
John Worner and Hesperian, arrived at Leaven
worth City, Kansas Territory, with passengers and
merchandise, and on the following day the Benj W
Lewie, with fifty more passengers, and a large
amount of freight.
Loiter'y chit Gift Swindles.
We cannot render a more acceiftabl*- service to
the public, than to lay before lle.n ■ ; v
account from the New York Courier .y £,. ~
of the breaking up of a Lottery and Gif .Swindle
which has been long in successful operation i ■ that
city. Such exposures of these swindles shod 1 c< -

A Great Swindle'Eii'l.oded. —Various panics
have from time to time called at .he Mayor's -..aicu

-One hundred thousand copies were issued, nd
sent all over the country, together with circulars,
containing tbrged extrue’.s from the Express and

Negro Mot at Antigua, West D dies.— -We
published, a few days since, a statement, rcceiv i
by an arrival at New York, that a mob had occur
red among the negroes oil the island of Antigua,
and that a schooner full of refugees ha arrived a”
Trinidad. By an arrival at Baltimore, we have
later advices. A commercial house has furni-died
the following extracts from a letter dated Antigua.
March 27th, giving full particulars of the occur
rence :
We have had a most serious disturbance with the
negroes, originating amougs: some Barbuda peo
ple and our town negroes, who set the police at de
fiance ami attacked the police office about 8 o'clock
on the night of the 25th iust. The police wen*
obliged to tire in self-defence, when live weTe killed
on the spot and about a dozen wound* and, ‘some
badly. The Governor arrived .at the police
office about 1 o’clock yesterday morning. The
mob continued all night in the streets, and attacked
the police office, where the Governor and all the
authorities were, at 8 o’clock, yesterday morning.
They broke all the windows aud doo.s, nd had j
nearly taken possession of the office and arms
Some of the mob had already entered the office,
when the orders were given by the Govern* - to
fire, aud four more were shot down add several
others severely wounded. Martial law w: s tuen
proclaimed, special constables sworn in and a volun
teer troop of some forty men aud horses formed,
which soon dispersed the mob The streets are
still patrolled by armed men, and everything is now
again quiet, and we trust will continue so. Des
patches had been sent to Guadal uipe for a military
force and to Barbadoes for a man-of-war. Wo
hope their assistance will not be required,
P. S.—(Dated St. Thomas, March JI.) —Y; ■
French troops had arrived but would nol be landed,
as tiiey were not required.
Presbyterian General Assembly. —The Old
School General Assembly ol the Presbyterian Church
hold their meeting this year at New-Orleaus, * ui
mencing on the 6th of May. All th railroad and
3‘eamboat lines leading to that city*have ag v*. f .-

A Disreputable Thick.—The New York Tri
buneenys :—We learn that the brig Hurricane Bird
arrived at Baltimore at 3J o'clock on Wednesday
afternoon, with the particulars of the loss of the
clipper ship John Gilpin ; but this important intelli
gence appears to have been kept private until after
the close of business. Meantime, as rumor has i r ,
certain parties iu possession of the secret telegraph
ed to this city, and perhaps to Boston, and efft ct**J
insurance upon the Gilpin’s cargo to the ex > f
$30,000. We understand that the uuder writers in
tend to inquire into this matter.
War in the Parana.—Notwithstanding the con.
cessions made by Paraguay to Brazil, aud the great
exertions made to concert a peace by various ne
gotiations, war is said to be inevitable, and b:>th
sides are preparing for it. The dispute is about the
ownership of a district called Montegrosso, occu
pied by Paraguay, but claimed by both. This
boundary question has been pending ever since tin
independence of Paraguay was established. The.
encroachments of Brazil upon all the surrounding
republics are unceasing, and devastated au they are
by civil war, it would, perhaps, be better that they
should be annexed to a country like BraJil, with a
substantial government and permanent peace.
Cotton erom Africa.—lt is rather an important
fact, that the steamer Hope, from Lagos, has taken
seventy-two bales of cotton to England. This cot
ton is the result of experiment** made by Mr. Clegg
of Manchester. Having tested the capacity of
Africa to produce the article, he resolved to see
how far it was possible to teach the natives bow to
grow it profitably. For this purpose he conveyed
to England aevetal negroes, and when taught how
to prepare the vegetable wool tor market, he eeu?
them home, with needful seed and apparatus. The
present importation is the consequence.
New Liquor License Bill.— I The Pennsylvania
Legislature has passed anew liquor license bill, of
which the following are the main feature : Licenses
to be granted in Philadelphia by the Board of Ap
praisers ; in Allegheny county by the Associate
Judges and Treasurer, and in other counties Iry tin
judges of the Courts, with a qualified discretionary
power over the applications. The minimum piice
of licenses, with sales of over SI,OOO, to be $*J5, aud
uuder SI,OOO, to be sls. In Puilad*dphia aud Pitts?
burg the minimum to be SOO. Hotels and taverns
to be classified and rated according to the sales.—
On sales of SIO,OOO, the license tube SIOO ; on sales
of SB,OOO, the license to be $250; on sales ol $0,01)0,
the license to be $l5O, and on sales of s*-3,000, the
license to be SSO. Retail Brewers to be rated a*
eating houses. Appraisers to be appointed to ex
amine and detect adulterated and drugged liquors,
and the sale of such liquors prohibited a>.d punish

Free Love in Northern Ohio. —The Cleve
land Herald has an article upon the progress of Free
Love, and Free Love Associations, in the Northern
part of Ohio—originally settled by the people
from Connecticut, MassacJiUsetta.aud Vermont. A
Free Love ticket for the town election in Berlin, it
seems, has been carried by the Free Lovers, under
a disguised name,—and the respectable inhabitant
of the town, who do not believeiu the ism, threaten to
leave the place, if they cannot be rid of t he leprosy.
Four acres of the heights of the town are now de
voted to the purposes of the association, aud five
houses have been erected within lour week*. Here
“persons of both sexes can come, and finding their
affinities, pair with each other!” The ts.-oe; ‘
has a paper there, which is forced upon tie atl .i.
tiou of those who do not subscribe by clipping it
under their doors at night.
Chinese Coolies in Cuba.—Four cargoes of
coolies, comprising nearly three thousand Individ
ua s, recently arrived at Havana, where they met
with a ready sale at from three hundred and i m to
three hundred and seventy five dollai • eu<.< cor
ding to their sanitary condition on arrival. O.En
large shipments are known to be on tin: way, and
it ia stated that orders have been sent to China lor
ten thousand to be shipped this year. A Havana
letter writer says it is astonishing to see. how tin e
Celestials get hold of different branches of trade
formerly monopolized by Catalans, in the vicinity
of Cardenas many grocery stores are n>w owned
by them, while they completely monopolized the
huckstering business. They are also generally sue
cessful in getting wives, and large numbers ave
consented to be baptised mainly on this account;
otherwise the church would not grant them the ne
ceseary license.
Ministerial Courtesy. —The Springfield Re.
publican says that a piquant correspondence has
just passed between two clergymen, in a city
where considerable religious awakening fia- fake
place. In substance the correspondence ran r
{< ‘.ows :
Baptist to Muhodist Brut r
— I ehall baptize some converts to-moi-n.w. If
any of vour converts prefer to be baptized in our
mode, I shall be happy to baptize them ... ernei:

Northern Slave Traders.— The Baton Rouge
/La.) Advocate, in reference to the late bid before
the Louisiana Legislature, for the importation of
Africans, says that Gov. Wickliffe is in receipt of a
New Yorker, applying for an agency to conduct the
enterprise. The writer professes to know “ ail
about” the •Uve trade, is able to conduct the con
tractors to the uioet eligible points on the African
ooaat for obtaining “ apprentices,’’ and think* he
cab otherwise bring a fund of experience and knowl
edge to bear upon the inter* to of the importers no;
elsewhere to be met with.
Gone into Liquidation —The Comptroller ol
Tennessee announces that the following Free Bank*
have gone into liquidation, and that their < . ou
tion will be redeemed out of the trust fund his
hands, viz: Bank of Pari*, Bank of Commerce,
Bank of Jefferson, Bank of Trenton, and Bank of
Tazewell.
