And yet this is true. This fact is established be
yond doubt or cavi by the record before us. And
w f recur to it not as a fact brought to light by the
author of tb*.fl hook—for it is no discovery of hie,

versions of his complications, and the fact is well
known here, that while the President expresses
diwawfaction a eome o bis proceeding., hie coc

The rtate of tilings cow existing in Mexico and
Central America, so far a tbe interest of the
United Sftafioi is con- erned, wifi be charged by tbe
President Jo the default of Congress in not provid
ing him with tbe authority to prevent it. Tbi3
ruse may mislead the ignorant, bat it cannot de
ceive aDy well ieformed observer cf events. Mr.
Douglas brought torward a resolution at the close
of the last season proposing to confer the largest
discretion uron the President in regard to our rela
tion- with Mexico, Paraguay, Central America,
and New Granada, which was referred to the Com
mittee of Foreign Relations, of which tbe mover
was a member. That resolution was deleated in
Committee and never reported back, owing to the
special inferference of Mr. Buchanan, who declared
that the power was more ttAn he asked and more
than the Constitution allowed to be granted. The
impression at tbe time was, and it has not beeif
much changed feirce then, that the President de
murred to the authority, because, if exercised and
signal consequence should follow, the glory might
redound to the advantage of him whom be both
hates and fears. That pretext cannot be consis
tently urged then as an excuse for tbe Executive in
failing to do his whole duty, if there wrs proper oc
casion for his interference. Certainly it will fail as
a justification before the country. Besides, if the Pre
sident wanted power, he should have asked it, upon

Although the Democratic papers with their ac
cuatomed readiness to accept party action as bind
ing, with ut regard to its justice, clamor over the
proceedings of the Senate, aa final in the cases of
xHessrs. Bright and Fitch, wboclaimto be Senators
from Indiana, that decision ib still open to review,
and ought to be reconsidered. It is stated that the
Senate acted upon the evidence of a false record,
professing to be the journal of a joint convention
for the election of S-nalors, as prescribed by the
; awa of Indi .na, when no such convention wa
ever held legally, and the pretended convention,
was in fact, nothing more than a party caucus,
which assumed functions wholly unauthorized.
Tbe Legislature of Indiana, now sitting, bus pro
nounced tbe so-called election of these parties as
illegal, void and fraudulent. That however is but
an expression of opinion. To emphasise it, thej
choulu elect Senators constitutianally and send them
here to contest the seats. Messrs. Bright and Fitch
had tbe advantage of not being confronted by con
testants, though the majority stultified themselves
in admitting their claims, as the very same men,
with far less ostensible ground, rejected Mr. Har
lan, of lowa, at the previous session, when tbe same
vital principle waa at stake. But the Democracy
know how to conform to whatever party necessity
may dictate. They ere experts in the doctrine of
mtuatu mutandis.
Correspondence Mew York Herald.
Washington, Nov. 1853.—The government
is anxious that the Bteamer Ailantaand Caledonia
hkou'.d sail iinmediatedly, and the hope is expressed
that Genera! Paex and suite may bo ready to leave
to-morrow.
G-neral Maguan, of Mexico, has come on, not to
ask a loan for the Juarez government from our
government, but to negotiate one with New York
( apita!:sts, pledging tb*i lands of Sonora aa security.
Mr, Mttta, before he leit, received a proposition,
but did not close witn the parties. On arriving at
Vera Crus, and submitting the proposition to Presi
dent Juarez and his Cabinet, it was accepted. It
h said tbe amount is five millions of dollars. Mr.
Meguan f tarted immediately for the United States,
and Mr. Mata arrived at New Orleans since, and in
now on his way to Washington and New York to
oonr p ete the contract. It is said this arrangement,
oy'furnishing the sinews of war, will be the means
of establishing firmly the power of the constitutional
party.
By information received from the oily of Mexico
to the 18th instant, it seems that Gen. Zuloaga, attar
having been refused a direct subsidy of a million of
dollars from the clergy, had obtained that amount
from the house of Rothschild Sc liidoro Zorre,
pledging the titles of houses of the church in the
city security. It the amount be rot paid at the
lime stipulated the property is to be forfeited for
that sum. Juarez Los protested against the nego
tiat.ou.
The clergy of Mexico sent, about a year ago, an
agent of high position to England, France and
Spain, to obtain favor and assistance from these
Powers to charge Mexico into a monarchy, and to
place a son of Den Carlos cn the throne. The Brit
ish government refused to enter into the scheme.
Louis Napoleon secretly favored it, ns did also the
the tfpanibh government. Had England assented,
and be-n willing tor.sk the consequences with the
United Slates, there is no doubt the attempt would
have been made.
Th*e real purpose of such a large fleet of Spanish
and French war vessels on the coast of Mexico is
for an object beyond that of preying claims or re
dressing injuries to Spanish or French subjects.—
Such a largo force for such pioteuded purpose is un
necessary. The fact ia, notwithstanding the assur
ances of tho Ministers ot these nations to Genera!
Cass that there is no design to make conquests or to
i-eizo tho Territory of Mexico, and that it is only
the exercise of a right of redress, this is but a pro
tone ? to cover a direct intervention in the affaire t f
Mexico. Tho booner our government undoistaude

Shocking Affair —At Detroit, on the 25th ult,
Michael McNetnara attempted to murder his wifo
and step daughter, in order to obtain $ 1,00(1 left
them by a relative. The girl waa about 16 years
old ; and was frightfully cut about the neck and
hands, as well as her mother. The Free Press says:
The first intimation the intended victims had cf
the intuitions of the father and husband was his
coming up the stairs into a back chamber, where
the family, consisting of the mother, the oldeet
daughter, and lour little ones, ranging from two to
teu years old, were in the act of retiring. The mo
ther was on her knees in the act of praying, with
her little ones already in bed, when he advancee to
a position behind her, took her by tho hair, and
pullel her head back.

it is difficult t* give, from the lact that she reiueed
to dt'Hiribb it for tear of implicating him, a most ex

How to Improve Ciper.— Professor Horafcrd,
the chemist, has recently communicated to the
Massachusetts Horticultural Society a receipe sci
tire improvement aud preservation of cider, which
be recommends to general trial. It is as follows :
“loet the new cider from sour apples— Bound and
selected fruit is to be preferred— ferment from one
to three weeks, as the weather is warm or cool.
When it ha< attaiueo to lively fermentation, add to
each gallon, act . roiag to its acidity, lrpai half a
pound to two pounds of white crushed sugar, and
let the whole formant until it pocseasea precisely
the taste which it u desired should be permanent.
In this rwudition pout out a quart ot the cider aud
aud tor each galicu one quarter of an ounce of
sulphate of uuie, known a* ta article or munufacture
uncer the name of ‘auti-chlonde ot lima.’ Stir the
powder and cider until intimately mixed, and return
the emulsion to the tormenting liquid. Agitate
briskly ar.J thoroughly tor a few moments, ana then
let the eider Settle The fermentation will oaase at
once. When, after a few days, the cider hqa bee. me
clear, draw .ff and bottle ourefglty, or remove the
seduncat and return to the original ve-sel. If
loosely oorked, or kept iu a barrel on draught, it
will retain its taste as a atilicifer. If preserved'in
bottles carefuhy corked, which is b.-trer, it wn: bo
come a-parkiing order, and may be kept indefiui
tiy long.

Reynold’s Street, Augusta, 6eo„ where it can be seen
in operation from the hours of 8 to 1 A. M.,
and from 2 to <i P. M.
The principle embraced in this Machine corresponds exactly with the old and well
known prLss of splitting and dressing by hand labor, working directly with the gram in
tl.e timber. It produces an article not liable to warp or check from exposure. This ma
chine was patented January sth, 1856, and has already obtained a cclebnty possessed by
none other The whole machine can be built for one-third the cost of any other, and
will rive and shave from the bolt from 8,000 to 15,000 Shingles per day. lor this pur
pose, it only requires a Two-Horse Power to work if at the same time you can make any
required length! and it is adjustible to any required thickness or taper it is simple,
cheap and durable any ordinary mechanic can make it, and a boy maj ork it.
To Shingle Dealers, Lumbermen, Capitalists and Speculators, this machine is a sate,
sure and profitable investment. We invite all to call and see it m operation. Any fur
ther information can be had by calling on tbe Patentee or h.s Agents, one of whom will
alwavs be found with the Machine, or at the Globe llote .

Mr. H. M. Kino—ln compliance with your request, I
take pleasure iu reporting my experience in the u‘-e of
“*ne of your Shingle Machines. My Machine U located
a boat i7 miles below Augusta near tlio Augusta A: Sa
vannah Railroad; the material used is cypress ; power,
a small, portable eugino, 0:1 wheels, which can bo con
veniently moved from place to place by a pair
of muiert or horses. The machine works admirably, ful
ly up to all yon claimed for it, and ter beyond my ex
pectation. This machine is operated by one white man,
{having no experience in the use of machinery,) and
common plantation negroes, it turns out from 7,000 to
12,000 shingles per day (of 10 working hours ) depending
entirely upon the 3upplyof wood to the machine.

chine has been in operation at my shop for two months,
and I have watched it closely. To make Shingles, it
far surpasses any machine I have seen. It doe9its work
well, andean, in my opinion, be made to turn out from
10 to 15,000 per day. Its simplicity and its durability I
do not think can be excelled.

Mr. James L. Coleman— Dear Sir: I bavo seen the
Shinglo Machine of Mr. 8. M. King ia operation, and
from what I saw of its perform ance, 1 can safely say
that ir. is the best Shingle Machine I ever saw, doing its
work In the best possible manner, and be>ng the simplest
machine of the kind in use, I hink it peculiarly adapted
to tho successful manufacture of shingles or heading in
the Southern tates, where negroes are the most availa
ble operators; and if properly attended, I believe it will
cut 12,000 shingle per day.
