To these addresaw Mr. CUttendea made tbe fol-
MK. CRITTESDE!<’3 R£l’Ll.
Sir. Crittenden, in response, said:
I would have you believe, my friends,in the brat
place, that I caine to thie cii j upon no poiitioal mis
eion and lor no p’ litioal end. X came here with no
other motive than that which was afforded by some
iittie private business, and on my way to the city of ■
Washington. I expected no uch welcome as tuia.
i l-ttd no- appreciaied myself so blKhty as to expect
it. 1 i you cordial y and with ail my hem: fjr
.t. X’ is an honor that I did not anticipate, and for
w hich I wan entirely unprepared, and therefore it is
toe more welcome and tbe m re grateful to my
Gentlemen, both these addresses which I have
had lire honor to receive bteathe the same princi
ples and the tame sentiment*. They are ray pria
cipies and ihey are m> gentinrenta. ‘i raiced them
for a long course of years under the Whig banner,
they are as deeply and a : vividly impreoned upon
my heart, ard as sincerely entertainer! by u,e this
day, as they were in the most youthful hour of my
political life I have endeavored to sustain them
.rilb my bumble abilities on ail cccaaiona X have
known no change in any principle or in any fe iing
upon the subject. The Whig party wsa agio:ions
party. Its enemiee, now that it is in its weakr.oro,
acknowledge it. When it was tbe rival of the 1 Jem
ocratic party, and conteoded against it for power
and for triumph, it was natural perhaps, in the
cause of party warfare, that :tsh..ald be made the
object of reproach and disparagement. But now,
when that controversy has ceased, your adversaries
have been ioudtet in the praise o! tbe virtue., auu
the patriotism of that old party. It deserved it all,
and i! ia yet destined, I hope and trust, iu principle,
in body aud in eoul, if not in name, tor a glorious
resurrection for the good of our common country.
Ar has been well remarked, the Constitution oi
our country was its platform, and tbe objects which
it soHght to accomplish were t.-.e good and (flory of
the country. That war the platform and iif.se
were the objects of the great Whig party, of wirioh
its lamented chieftain, Uenry Clay, was tiio front
uni tb<f champion, aud under whom we sei ved for
many aud many a long and weary campaign. And
in the whole course ot able oi political association
together, except oa one oocastou, and for a brief
period of time, there never was a solitary cloud of
alienation between him aud me; and that aliena
tion, which was produi ed by misconception, was
finally an ; entirely removed when the subject came
to be explained. I look upon Mr. Clay’s name and
lame with all the reverence due to his noble virtues.
1 knew him wellin public life. No man knew him, I
I relieve, better or more Ultimately laan I; and leau
say of him, uuw that he ia gone, that I never knew
■ucL an intrepid set rant ot the people as Henry Clay
was; intrepid and disinterested above all mea he is
entitled to the highest commendation for his hero
ic cart er. With a courage unfailing, and aditinto
restedness that was natural to the man, he rose
above all the patriots that 1 have known. Web
ster and Calhoun wore great men. Ido not com
pare thorn. They were ail great men—very great
men; but, Mr. Clay was, of course, the great favo
j rite and chief of the Whig party. It was to him wo
looked through many a weary day o; strife audeou
troveisy. It was bis voice, it was hisspnt that uni
: ted uiat party. I hope to ate its principles yet
prevail, ni-u they must prevuil, it tbe government
; this country is ever to be restored to that consti
tutional character which it ought always to bear.
X did not come before you, my friends, to make
any p Aical discourse, but to thank you cordially for
the kind reception you have given me. You ark
me, in one of these addresses, if 1 will tiiko tiro van
guard and light the battles of the great patriotic
cause which you espouse. 1 thank you for tho
compliment your request implies, but I answer you,
gentlemen, no. I caauot assume any eucu leader
ship lam wilting to servo with you I will en
deavor to do my duty aB I have doue it heretofore,
[ pplause,] aud 1 shall hope that, while Ido so,
my conduct will correspond with your opinions aud
your wishes, aud I see no reason to doubt but it
will do so, for I have no object, either on the right
hand or on the left hand, to divert me from tbe palh
of uuty. If Xgo wrong it must be Iroai sheer igno
rance or sheer viciousness, one of tbe two. I l ave
no selfish objec's to pursue. I have lived beyond
those objects. Aud, although I have been a strong
party man, engaged iu all the liery struggles and
bittles winch party differences have Drought on,
aud witli a heart that gloried iu ho contest, my
ambition now is, as 1 have said severs! times be
fore, to be a psttdt rather than a partisan, aud give
to u>y country, ia any of its counsels where I may
happen to be, that advice which becomes tbe mode
ration and the experience of one now grown to be
an old man Trat is the course that 1 followed iu the
instance of the recent occurrence, to which you
have alluded. But lam content to serve on as 1
have served. The misfortune of our country is, that
v e have too many desirous to rule, and too few de
sirous and realty willing to serve. Kow, lam will
ing to serve. [App'ause.]
lam content to servo —perfectly content. Aud
I big you, my friends, not to misunderstand rro.
lam not a candidate for tiro Presidency. I some
times nee my name treated by the public press, and
! myself spoken of as a candidate for the Presidency, j
i I never -ice it without regret—never. I am nooati- I
[ didate for the Presidency, and uriver expect to bo I
! lth >!lcertainly never seek it. l o ray mind, there |
!is something in the great responsibilities of l bat j
situation more to bo feared than to beloved, by a I
man who would hold ic, it lie held it at all, tor the j
good of others. No, lam not a candidate, and Ido i
riot expect ever to boa candidate. I wish you to j
Uiidersiand that distinctly. You may count upon
me always, though, as n faithtul compatriot andco- j
j operator with you in all your efforts and purposes to i
! bring back this Government to its primeval sim j
I pacify aud virtue. [Applause.] That I will assist J
j you iu, with all my might, but X do not look for the |
| biker. ’ I shall never seek ii, that is certain; and ail ;
I that 1 ‘tear, niv friends, is that the honors and the j
I kindness with which you have been pleased to re- j
I csivo tr-e on this occasion may lead to the ids a tnat ]
tuere is something of political design and purpose j
lin my appearai.ee here. Be my witneascs that j
j there is not, and. so help me God • you will testify j
to nothing but the truth. I jet those who pleas’
I tor j a m no* one of them. No ambition ot j
that sort 1-as ever yet disturbed one moment of my i
lifetime, nor will it ever deprive me of one moment’s j
sleep. That you may rely upon. And yet I think j
X have a heart to feel fenny oountry as other men, !
and to suffer tor it, too; to speak lor it, ana to act j
for it when the occasion demands, and to streak ex- ■
acriy wirat I thick,too. I thank God that, with e. I
mind to think, ho has given me the courage to
speak what I do fee!; end that 1 will do ; that l
have doue at all times, and that 1 will do at all
times. That is what my noble old State, Kentucky,
has taught me from my childhood up, when I ran
wild through her wiideruestee, and there was none
to make any me afratd.
b’eliow ettizeus, you need not my counsel as to
what is to be dene. X think with you the* it is time
this great agitation had, for a while, ceased, if for i
no otter purpose than that the people may pause, r
jske breath aud thmk, that parties themselves may |
lake an observation of the condition iu which they .
at present are, to see what way they were drifting,
auu how far thry had drifted. iVh&t has been the
result of all this agitation upon s subject to which
you will al understand me as aduding, though I do
not name it ! lam sick of it to the very heart, i
am sick of this negro question inaiilhe forms in
which it can he presented, and I would to God we
couid get back to those days tvkeu our fathers
lived in harmony aud peace together and there was
not cue word on that subject between them. And
why can we not l Wnat have we gamed liy this
enormous agitation 7 Anything but dissension 7
What has been the result of it all? An united peo
ple divided, a sectional iine aimos’ established be
tween us, t.ud with that line will follow with uner
rbg certainty sectional feeling?, and we shall be
ene pccple only iu name. Is not that the condition
to which it has been bringingua i—we, whose fath
ers v re uniled and stood side by side, whose
patriot fathers and whose stal.-men fathors fought
fi .e by side, aud acted in tie Councils of ti. ir
c< untry side by side ? Have we derived from
them no other inheritance than that of perpetual
sectional division, and perpetual controversy over
i: ? Whs: a mighty inheritance did we not re
ceive ! What mighty gifts did we not receive!
Why, it is enough to make the heart of any hu
man b’ mg swell almost to bursting, to look at the
mightv progress we have made, and that still
mightier progress winch is ia rail view before ca.—
We can secure ail that. Test is ail ours if we but
say so. Nothing can prevent it but we, ourselves.
1 think, therefore, that the people of this country
are tending rapidly to a feeling of this sort. I think
that but for the disturbances of parties, the people
themselves would do light. Our Government is
founded upon the sup .oseu intelligence aud capacity
of the peopie of seif government. X believe in it
fully. But such has been tbe operation in the course
of party management, that but little cf this liberty
is left to the people. This is effected with the aid
of what is called organizations ; that is. they make
am gb*v machine, ov which a great multitude of
peopie are to be controlled, and some two or three
ate to manage the machinery. When l-ave the peo
ple merely managed their own government and se
lected their own Prerideut ? hv. the nomination
of a convention is just as imperative on the party
whose representatives, it is said, have chosen it, as
the choice of the President cunst-if whom they have
made is conclusive upou them the day after they
have chosen him. 1 think there ought io be an end
to this thing. It is au usurpation upon the rights es
tbe people, and 1 believe that if our peopie, with
their patriotic good sense, would come together, if
there was do barrier to their intercourse one with
another, they wouL settle peacefully and patrioti
cally every difficulty, and wa should have no more
of this m'ghty agitation that is now disturbing tlie
peace of the country.
That is era piy my opinion, based oa my conii
deuce in the virtue and inteaigence of the people.
That, at any rate, i- cur only tope. It ia our first
and our last hope If that fab? our scheme of gov
eminent, the mighty promises of seii-gc-vernmeut
that we have held put to the world, and liberty, al!
fell to tbe ground. 1 think tnat every thing is tend
ing to the restoration of these righto to tbe peopie.
I believe that the peopie begin lo think for them
selves on ffie political subjects, and I hope and trust
in God they will act for themselves, l,’ they do,
then l believe that ail good wU fqliow. And 1 be
sieve that you, old Wings, ct nid do nothing better
upon earth than to propagate that sentiment and
endeavor to have it reencea to practice. I tmek it
is the nearest way back .o your o.d Whig princi
ples believing them to be tounoeo in virtue anc m
truth 1 believe, whenever you can get lo the hearts
and minds of the people, that source of all political
truth, you will fine the principles ot the Old .tig
party jiiif- there.
Gentlemen. I Am getting into a er>ee*'h, whi-l* I
did not intend to do. [Langhtor ] I'd, gentlemen,
let me say again, and 1 beg that ibet-e gentlemen,
(the members of lbs Press,) who. it these Lungs
must be reported, will report me as saying to yon,
with ail possible sincerity, that I bave. no persona*
obieot in this. None. There is not ojje ot you w.:o
a tsrther from it th.-.n’T am. I am no candidate,
and I don't wan’r any man to consider me as a
candidate, and I *>ay that it produces in me a feel
ing of sincere regret te see my name in the news
papers coupled with that high station. lam not
ambitious for it. lam not anxious for it. I wish
to God, and I hope—tend it may be so—that some
one more able to guide the destinies of this coun
try than I am, shaii it. I would not accept the
Presidency ual-.-aia a contingency not likely to
happen, v r. * that ii should be the unbiased opinion
cf the people of the United State that in that capa
city I could serve my country well But Ido not
want to have my heart corroded wiih a 1 the politi
cal cares that attend that high station. I don’t
want to take upon myself the responsibilities of it.
There will be no lack of candidates, gentlemen.—
But no one can be more sincerely desirous than I
am not to be regarded, in this matter at all As I
said before, so will I conclude by saying to you
now, that youmay count oo me as a faithful and -in
cer? co-operator with you in yonr labors for toe ele
vation of this government,"for its restoration back
to its primitive exc lienee and virtue, and to make
it as much as we can like tbe Administration of
Washington. Sfv God, look at the Administration
>t Washington, and then compare it with what we
have r.ow! The sun makes its revoiu iom from
century, and spensmg the same light, passing in the
ame glorious track, and giving : t of light and
tfe in ezacilv the same and in ail due proportion to
■: : world. We made Constitutional Government,
oi.d we fancied that this earthly iutninary was to
revolve ,n the same way. Now, suppose we were
to make a comparison. I don't say it with auy in
ten’ -n of parsenal disparagement to Mr Buchanan,
bat j -t.compare the Administration of Wasting
ton. and the principles aud feeling? that guided if,
u ; 'li t : present Administration Isn't it, indeed,
“Hyperion to a Satyr I’* Is there any likeness 7
;A voice. “A family likeaese.’ ] No, there is not
usrdly a family liken sa in it. But let ua try to get
back to these principles.
We have a great country, worthy to occupy tbe
affect ions n-id gratify the ambitious of everyone,
j and each of us can help it on in its career of proa
I parity and happineea. The child is living this day
who will see you number a hundred millions of peo
p!e. Just think of that great future. It is worth
living for; it ia worth dymg for. A day when this
country shall contain a hundred miiiiort? of freemen
—the inos: intelligent aud the moat martial people
in tne world, acquainted with ail tbe principles of
■elf government, knowing practically what liberty
. and every tnind working with ali that freedom oi
action belonging to liberty, unconstrained liberty!
Who tan iui3g;ue euch a machine? The world
..ever raw anything like it. Our liberty, it we
; I,c.e to live for it, and take cc.reof it, will be the
ibertyo: al! men Oar word will be law—and I
iiope we shall be just enough ourselves to make it a
iu?t law. And what rear.n ia there why we should
i-1 .lave Hi! * .is? Preserve the Citiou, and the
(Jniuii wil! take Cure of u.-- and everything else that
j. to u. That if ail we want. We are
net to stop m this great movement of our age and
uat. -i p- wrangle on the way side over evtry little
topic that may rise up. but to settle that at once aud
go Oil.
I have trsapa-ood upon you too long. I thank you
gentlemen, trout the bottom ot my heart, for the
welcome which you have given me, and for the
kind sentiments which Vou have expressed to me. I
have bu. little deserved them, perhaps, in the past.
Al least Ido not appreciate try services very high
ly. X have done just what I thought was right, and
i t has given me no trouble in the world to do it; it.
hati coet me not the least exertion to do it, aud X do
not see that anybody owes me any obligation for it.
To do right, to do that which ie just, to follow tho
Constitution of my country in its spirit, to endeavor
to purpetu’.te the liberties of my countrymen, to
mute thia Government perpetual, and to make the
glory of this country surpass the glory of all the
other countries that have ever existed, have been
the feelings of tey heart, and have led me into doing
what. I thought was right. I thank you again for
your appreciation of n.y cervices. If I have not
deserved it iu the past, I will endeavor to deservo
Lin the future. But do not allow me to be mis
taken for a candidate, for lam not one. Ido not
vraut to be. I wcuid a good deal rather be a
Bresident-maker. That is what I want, and we
will try and get a proper man to be our President.
If they just put the people fairly at that question,
we wilt got a proper man and a proper Administra
tion ; ui.d these being secured, the Government
’ will be restored to its nrst great and grand princi
ples, and will go on harmonious y to tbe attainment
ot that grandeur and glory and happiness which are
fiir.liy to result to us. [Loud applause.]
The gentlemen present were then introduced in
dividually to Mr. Crittenden, to whom, in conclu
sion, some very complimentary remarks were ad
dressed by Air. Jennings. The deputations then
withdrew.
Mr. Crittenden Among the Dutch.
The Knickerbockers celebrated their annual
festival at the St. Nicholas Hotel, iu New York, ou
Alouday night last. distinguished guests
cf the society, was lion. John J. Crittenden, of
Kentucky. He was called upon to respond to the re
itltr toast, “The Union--Alany States, but one Peo
ple-honorable rivalry—uojeaslousy—one destiny.’’
We copy his eloquent response. It breathes ajhoiy
love for the Union that will find a responsive throb
in Iu) bosom of every true patriot, ltwas.such a
,-ps: oh ts none but a true patriot and sincere lover
of his country could have uttered.
In response lo the fifth .oast, which was ve.he
raentiy cheered, Mr. Crittenden assured his au
dieuoe that though not altogether unaccustomed to
public speaking, yet on-toe present occasion he
was almost overpowered by the kind manner in
which he bad been called upon, and begged to be
excused for .is embarrassement. The enthusiasm
with which the toast had been received, was euili
oient evidence to all the world of the sincerity with
which the people honored it, and not only attested
their appieciation of their independences? a nation
and their liberties as freemen, but showed how, iu
this laud, Ijiberty and Independence bad their
origin in the people. Under those names we
had fought tor our Constitution, and upon that
union out national de9tiny depended. [Applause.]
The union was the sou! of thia nation, and its ex
tinction would be tbe extinction of our national lit®.
We were acting upum a princip e ot self preserva
tion in endeavoring by all the means in our power
to preserve the Union, and the glorious memories
of the past, the high duties of the present, aud the
lofty hopes of tho future, alike admonished and
bond us the more fi*miy to that, compact. The an
ecstursof the members of the St. Nicholas Society
came toAhis country imbued with the spirit of true
Republicanism
William, at the head of their predecessors, the
people of the seven provinces, f ught that glorious
ba'tle fer liberty which foreshadowed the struggle
that was afterward? to occur for the independence
aud union of these United States. Aud tiiat battle
was like the contest described by the poet, which,
“ though often lost wae ever won ;” and in the lan
guage of the saute writer, had been “ bequeathed
Irom bleeding sire to son They, coming to this
oountry, brought with them the very seed out of
which our union and our liberty hud sprung. There
was, tiio speaker thought, a mugular analogy be
tween the Dutch and the Americans in this, and no
] man who had read Motley’s Itise of tlu’ Dutch lie-
I -could deny that there was a most strikingre-
Bi u, ionco betw -en Willtem of Nassau and Wash
. itigti.n. In reading some oi the State papers of
U- f tiner, he had been forcibly reminded of Wash
mgUm's Farewell Addreta The sons of St. Nicho
las were bound to the Union then by every obliga
tion, whether . f memory or of love. He believed
! ilia* they cherished it in their hearts ns he and and, aud
f he felt proud of the honor of being e.&liad ontore
j sin nd to such a sentiment before the St. Nicholas
Society oi'New York, though he wa3 a Kentuckian,
I and loved liis native State as they did theirs. [Loud
: enters ] He was proud of tnat Mate [Renewed
! cheers ] But he was prouder still ot the fact that he
■'.a-a citizen of tho United States of America.
: | Vehement cheer?.] Every spot of ground upou
! which he trod, irom saa to eea, from tne Battery to
i Sau Francisco, was his country, and he rejoiced in
i ii. [Cheers.] It was a great and glorious country.
The world never looked upon its like. Providence
I seemed to have reserved this continent for anew
and a higher development of the human race,
where freedom should constitute a natural and in
’ separable right of man— [applause]— and where a
j people, spread from ocean to ocean, speaking the
I same language, and influenced by the tame predi-
I lections, shouid be bound toge'her iu an indissoluble
j political union.
Providence ?eemed to have furnished u? with the
i means of establishing the closest relationship that
j could exist am *ng men—[applause]—for in giving
us the same laws and the same traditions, he made
us capable of rendering assistance to each other,
and by tiiat very capability, which has become a
necessity, has joined u.-; in the bonds of friendship.
[Applause.] The Divine Will obviously designed
us for one people; why thwart it 7 [Applause ] —
Why deny that we ate bound by the claims of mu
tual friendship and mutual assistance ? [Applause ]
I This was the lesson which had been taught ua by
i our fathers, and he loved to learn from them Ho
believed that Providence had had a wise design in
; this, and that in the framing of the destinies of this
! nation, a power above man had been manifested. —
The glory of what Providence had done for our
country swelled his heart Compare New York now
wiih the New York of half a century since, and
judge Irom tlie p.-.st the greatness yet in store for
her. What, thei .should we think of the nr an who,
in the face of this magnificent present and gorge
ous future, woul con empiate the dissolution of this
Union ? Why, ho should be despised and condemn
ed, not so much for his treason as for his want of
taste aud the meanness of his spirit. [Applause.]
The fellow would hardly deserve to be hung; it
would be too good for him. [Cheers.] The Union
wss our glory and our safety, and the aim of every
iK.neet citizen should be, who can do most to aid
and perpetuate it.’ The Union was not alone a
means for the preservation of our liberties ; it was
in i self an end, and he could see no security for the
perpetuation of the liberties of onr land, or for its
j i egress in material and social greatness, save in
preservation Os the Union.
In conclusion, the Hon. gentleman said he be
lt-sveil the men of New York were Union men. It
was impocsibie that a community which had pros
pered as they had prospered, which had grown as
they had grown, could be so ungrateful as to ignore
the cause of all their advancement. Bnt mere iip
service was not what was required of them. They
must act as well as speak. In this they might sacri
fice some personal happiness to the public weal, but
in that they would only perform their duty. Ours
was a mighty country and required al! our care.—
An American citizen was not only one of the high
and mighty of the earth, bat he was one of the em
perors of tne world. The power to direct the affairs
of the world was now in cur hands. Why should
we not exercise that power judicicusly and justly ?
If we did so, we would establish anew empire, new
in its frame and substance, new in its aims and
achievements, and to be hailed by mankind as the
beginning of anew civilization, a “new development
oi which freedom and liberty are to u nn the essen
tial elements. [Applause.] Tbe speaker then pro
posed as a toast •• “ The memory of your ancestors
of the City of New Y‘ork ’’ [Loud applause.]

AUGUSTA, GA., WEDNESDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 22, 1858.
From the New York Commercial Advertiser.
Boarding of the Washington.
We are indebted to the purser of the steamer
Washington for the following narra'ive :
The steamer Washington sailed from New Y'ork
Nyv.7th fur San Juan del Norte via Kingston, Ja
maica. and arrived at Port Koyal ■ n the evening of
the Hth nit., landed several passengers, and pro
ceeded to sea same evening at 11 o’cio k; arrived
oft’ the harbor of San Jnan del Norte eariy on the
morning of the 18th nit., having experienced a ;
heavy gale from the South on the 10th and 16'h She
was boarded outside the harbor by a boat from the ‘
U S. frigate Savannah, aud entered the harbor j
about conn, as soon as a pilot could be obtained, i
The U.S. man-of war Savannah end James
town, and English steam frigates Lropard and i
Valorous, (Sir Win G. Ouseley being on board the
Valorous.) were in the barber. Coi Childs, the
company's agent, came oo board and informed U3
that nothiog bad been heard of the arrival of tbe
Hermann at San Juan del Sur, and that the Nicara
gua Government refused to permit the passengers
of tbe Washington to pass through the country,
alleging that the passengers by the Washington
were filiibusters connected Witn passengers ou the
Hermann. Mr. Childs with ctuer parties connected
with the company, on the moring of oar arrival,
took tbe iittie steamer Catharine Maris, and pro
ceeded up the river to Grenada, to consult, and if
pcisaibie to induce the Government to grant per
mission for oar passengers to pass, if the Hermann
was at San J uau del Sur. Immediately upon our
anchoring at San Juan, we were boarded by two
English officers, with sidearms, from the Leopard
and Valorous, inquiring in regard to the number of
passengers, cargo, &c., wishing too see the pas
sengers list, asking of the purser and chief officer if
the passengers were Americans, and if they were
enned, ami if there were arms and ammunition on
board the ship.
They were told that the ship had been boarded
by an officer of U. S. ship Savannah wL. would give
them any informal ion they required. They re
plied that they were instructed to get such informa
tion direct. They did not, however, inaist upon the
hatches bt-iav taken off, and left the ship rather
euddenly. The3ame afternoon the frigate- Leopard
got unuor weigh and proceeded to eea under the
pretence, as Capt. Waiuright said to Gapt. C., that
they had some eighty on the sick list, and went to
eea for their benefit, it afterward appears she was
ordered to the mouth of the Colorado to intercept
2SO filibusters whom it was reported we had landed
the previous night. Our boat could not get up the
Sau Juan on account of tbe very low stage of vatsr,
and had proceeded to the mouth of the Colorado,
where she arrived at daylight next mcmmg,justin
time to be Been by tbe Leopard that was anchored
offtue mouth of the river there. Launches were
immediately manned and chase mane of our harm
less little steamer. As she had to stop after pro
ceeding a short distance up the river to fix some
steam pipe, the boats came up with her in gallant
style, with howitzer end small arms pointed lor an
aoackupon the supposed filibujterj. Alter satis
fying themselves that they had been pretty cheaply
sold they returned to their ship, and about noon
same day returned to anchorage at Greytown, hav
ing been” absent only 20 hours to restore to health
over eighty on the sick list.
On the evening of the 25th, t he flag ship Eoauoke,
flag officer Mclntosh, ar< ivod at anchorage outside
the harbor from Asp nwall, bringing us the intelli
gence that the Hermann had arrived at Panama on
the 7th, and proceeded to San Francisco on the 11th.
On the mornmg of the 26th, Col. Childs returned
from Granada without accomplishing any arrange
ment witii the government. On the contrary the
boat was not allowed to pass from Ban Carlos with
out an hirer with a file of soldiers on beard. She
proceeded to Virgin Bay, the officer being instruct
od not to ailow tie boat to land until he had ascer
tained that there were no filiibusters at that point,
the government being informed and firmly believ
ing that the steamer Hermann had landed several
hundred fillibusiers at San Juan del Sur. A small
boat was scut on shore aud the officer, after being
convinced that there were no filiibusters either there
or at San Juan del Sur, the steamboat was permit
ted to land at the whai f, cud an agent of the com
psuy proceeded to San Juan del Sur, to lock alter
the Hermann. The Jamestown, Capt. Kennedy,
nailed for Aspinwall the morning of the 22d.
On the evening of the 26th we sailed for Aspin
wall, Capt. C. having orders to connect with'tho
Mail Go’s steamer of the 20th from New York, for
orders by that steamer for the passengers to go
forward by that mail in the event of the Hermann
not being at Panama to receive them. We arrived
at Aspinwaii on the morning of 28th, entering in
company with tho mad steamer Moses Taylor.—
From some misapprehension of the Co’s agent, in
New Y ork, no order came by that suip for the Mail
Cos. to take our passengers. They were landed
from the Bhip aud cared for by Capt. U. until their
departure from Aspinwall. Not a case ot sickness
baa occurred on board tho Washington since her
departure from New York.
Sailed irom Aspinwall ou the evening of Dec. Ist,
leaving the Mail Co's steamer Moses Taylor for
New York ou the Ith, and the Grenada for Havana.
The Jamestown sailed for San Juan oa tlie morning
of the 29th. *

The Recent Tran-jacttone in Nicaragua—Addi
tional Particulars,
The Now Yoik papers bring additional particulars
relative to therecsnt stoppage of American pas .-Ti
gers from crossing the Nicaragua Transit Route,
and the boarding of an American steamsr by 15 i‘-
ish officers. It is stated that Commodore Mela
tosh, commander of our squadron, remonstrated
against the conduct of the officers of the Valorous
aud Leopard, and stato’d that further visits would
not be permitted. On the arrival of the Washing
ton at Aspinwall, tho Governor of the State ivin-il
a proc'a ration, couched in a humane spjrirjidvis
irig tlie pneaeriger?, many of wtiSra were nearly
destitute of mouey, not to land aud thin exp.'SO
themselves to great hardships and privations. Af
ter a very exciting time at Aspiawall. about two
hundred meu, women and children, got over to
Panama, with tickets lor California, and the remain
and i of the Washington's passengers returned to N.
Yoik.
A letter from Aspinwaii to the N. Y. Herald,
describes the following exciting eceues among the
Waekmgton's passengers:
Capt. Churchill, fully expected to receive advices
by the regular ship from New York that arrange
ments had been made to transport the passengers
over the Isthmus by the regular Pacific fine, in case
of failure to connect with the Hermann. He had
written assurances to thia effect from their chief
■ fiioers of the company. To his astonishment ha
received not a iine. Daring the afternoon himself
and Mr. Bill, an agent of thecompany, were inform
ed that all passengers on the Washington who could
pay the full passage to San Francisco, from Aspic
wail, would be takca by the regular iine. Those
who had not the means of so payiug he mast take
back to New York. About su.ieet the captain pro
ceeded on board tlie ship. In the meantime the
passengers on board the Washington Lad called a
meeting, and were worked up to a high pitch of
excitement. This was not lessened by Iheir having
seen the passengers of the Moses Taylor on board
the cars on tneir way across the Isthmus within a
couple of hours after their arrival.
Xfley lef*, as usual, amid the waiving oi hand
kerchiefs, loud hurra'an and firing of guns. It
brought no cheer to the passengers of the Wash
ington. Soon after the captain arrived on boaid
tlie passengers became clamorous to know what
was to be aone with them, when gathering ou tho
quarter deck, they iotimated that they were reudy
to hear from the captain. Captain Ctnrohill very
soon made his appearanco on the poop desk, and
stated that contrary to his most sanguine exnec
tations he had failed to receive advices from New
York. That he had ascertained ou shore that any
passenger would be taken on by paying full fare
to San Francisco, but those who had not tlie money j
be would take back to New York He said it was
a most disagreeable duty to make the announce
ment, but he was left no other alternative. He
proceeded to read his letter of instructions from
the principal agent in New York, and stated that
he had diacharg and his duty conscientiously and
faithfully The announcement that, they would be
taken back to New York was greetec with the most
vociferous yells of “No, no, no I” ‘Never.” “Go
to hell “Sink the damned ship,” “Die here
first,” “Blow her to hell,” “Libel her to morrow,”
“Hang Joe White,” and a thousand equally war
like expletives Three hundred enraged passen
gers waked the deck ot the snip. Had the authors
of their wrongs been present a vigilance committee
would have soon executed summary justice.
The passengers then called another meeting and
appointed a committee to wait upon C.J. Fox,
Esq., United States Consul, and learned from him
there was no redress for their wrongs and griev
ances. Thus night closed in over Navy Bay, but
there was but little sleep on board the Washington.
Early on the following morning (Monday) a
strong appeal wae made by telegraph to David
Corwm, Esq the agent of the Pacifie Steamship
Company in Panama, to reduce the fare to the low.
est degree possible, to enable some of the passen
gers to proceed. At the regular rates—sl2s steer
age, $175 second cabin, S2OO first cabin—not more
than half a dozen had the means to go on.
A reply was soon received from Mr. Corwin that
he would reduce the fare in the steerage to SSO,
and would make a reasonable reduction in the first
and second cabin. Application was then mad ato
Mr. Conter, superintendent of the Panama railroad,
and the fare over its road was reduced to sls.
Notwithstanding thi3 most liberal redactions there
was not a moiety that con’d raise the amount.
Notwithstanding the proclamation of the Gov
ernor, the passengers by this time had mostly come
on shore, and literally thronged tbe offices” of the
consul aud the railroad company. Excited groups
filled the streets, and maeldictious in general upon
the Nicaragua Company were heard in every direc
tion. A few proceeded to the railroad office and
purchased their through tickets, which but added
fire to the ilame.
About noon the railroad ticket office and tbe con
sul's office are said to have presented a scene of
melting and heart-rending character. Among the
large number who were unable to raise the neces-
sary means, were those if taken back to New York
would be perfect strangers and penniless. Many
of them were from the far West, a number from
different portions of Europe, and included many
women aud children. Some were on their way to
join their husbands in California, and had sold their
beds anc bedding and the very clothes on their
backs to purchase their tickets. To De taken back
to New York and landed there, in the very depth
of mid winter, was & fate that seemed less welcome
than death. Piles upon piles of baggage were
heaped up and tendered as security to the railroad
company, and the coneul’s office made a p ace of
similar deposit. Watches, rings, breastpins and
relics of every description were freely offered and
eoid tor a mere song. One poor fellow rushed into
the consul s office, laid three five dollar gold pieces
ou the table pulled off his breeches, luid them be
side the gold, and begged the consul, for God's
sake, to send him od.
Shortly after, a Jewish woman, with three ba
bies. rushed into the office and laid one child at tbe
feet of the consul and two upon his table, and lay
ing down SIOO in gold, broke nto the most wailing
lamentation. “ There was herseif and sister,” see
said, ‘ and her three smaii babes, take them and
do what he wanted, but for God e sake send them to
San Francisco. One hundred dollars is all she had
in tbe wide world, and if she did not go on now she
would never meet ner huabmd ” Notwithstanding
the indignation of all, hot tears coursed down the
cheeks of many a sunburnt face. The liberality
manifested by the passengers to each other was as
novel as it was noble. In many cases, where there
were those who bad only five, ten or fifteen dollars,
came lerward and liberally bestowed it on those
who lacked only a small amount to purchase their
tickets, in this way a number wa* made happy.
During the following day (Tuesday.) the captain
made arrangements with the consul by which a
large number of passengers were enabled to pur
sue, &c., the ship supplied with a few necessaries
for ‘the retnra voyage. Late in the day the Grana
da arrived with her passengers of the Washington
with through tickets tor San Francisco. The ba.-
ance nearly one hundred, returned to New-tork
in the Washington I shall say nothing of the
principal men and agents of this affair; they wili
meet one hundred ot their victims face to face in
New-York.
I neglected to mention that on the 18th of No
vember Don Barreuil, of Greytown, a Nicaraguan
official of some character, in compaav with the
British consul visited the Valorous, and upon leav
ing was saluted with seven guns, the Nicaraguan
flag flying at the fore.
On the 24th of November the United States eteam
frigate Roanoke, (flag ehip) sailed lor Greytown to
look after Sir Gore Ouseley. This diplomat after
being anxiously waited for ten days by the flag offi
cer still remained busy at Greytown. If he does not
give more trouble than Monsieur Belly I shall be
happily deceived

The French Vintage —All France is so ex
ultant over the large vintage, in such great contrast
both as to quantity and quality compared with
several previous years, that Uey pay very little at
tention to political matters. Notwithstanding the
great abundance, the trade is exceedingly active
and prices kept up. Large purchases have been
made in all the principal vineyards, and there is
even a rise in the first growth! of Bordeaux and
Burgundy. The stocks of o!t wine being almost
exhausted, and tbe wine of 1838 being of a most su
perior quality, people are snxieua to lay it down in
their cellars, and to sell as little as possible of it this
year. Many of those wines wnich in ordinary sea
sons are used cnly for mixing or for distillation will
this year be sold for consumption as superior via
ordinaire. The t-w wine wil take a year at least
before it is fit to ship or send out, and then proba
bly it will require six months before it is fit for use
or for bottling, aud even then it cannot be recom
mended for immediate consumption to persona ad
vanced in years cr of detit ‘V! stomachs No wine
is entirely divested of acidity liil a couple of years
have passed over the cask, and afterwards until
the wine has been suffered to remain three weeks
in the cellar carefn ly bottled In the United States
tbe taste for high priced Bordeaux wines is a,meat
as general as in Great Britain. The great houses *n
France now count their exports by thousands of
hogsheads to New York. Pailacelphia, and Boston,
not to speak of the leaser yet still very considerable
marts.

The Richmond Enquirer ‘‘contains a beautiful
aud eloquent appeal of Mrs. ‘Anna Cora Ritchie,
tbe patriotic and accomplished Vice Regent of the
Mount Vernon Association of Virginia, tc he ladies
of Virginia, for tha purchase of Mount V * non,”
which will apply with equal force to *; y other
section ofthe Union.
‘‘After reciting the history cf the cor'r with
Mr. Washington, by which he is to r•. v* two
hundred thousand dollars for two hunc icre?,
the Vice Regent states that eighteen hundred dollars ;
were paid down in cash at the time of executing the !
contract; that fifty seven thousand do lars, with in- I
terest were paid on the December, 1858 aud
toe remainder is to be paid in three equni annual
instalments on the i>2d of February, 1860,1861. 1862, j
wit . the privilege of paying tbe whole ainount duo
at any time, aud taking possession, upon giving
thirty days’notice. Tnat tn* whole will be paid
before the of February, 1859 is the hope and
belief cf the Regent and her oo laborers ’*
We make the following extract from this patriotic
appeal:
“If the price is and emed too great for the actual
value cf the estate, let us remember tim. it ie !o be
•aid by the whole nation, and to this nation Mount
Vernon is price-ess. If the aum which renders it a
national had bsen still larger, would
only have iitTirded a larger number of patriots the
opportunity of bestowing ? heir mite in remembrance
ot the benefits conferred by him who secured to
them their homes, and whor e home they would now’
reverently guard in recognition of the inestimable
debt.
”YV e can put no market price upon a n&f ion's at
testations of gratitude—no price upou hallowed
memories and holy associations—no price upon
the foot prints of Washington—and these give to
Mount Verson Ua va’ue ! The Association does
not dsaire to possess this property because of its
s-lusost unrivalled landscape beauty, it* abundant
natural advantages, ite fertile soil, its picturesque
surroundings, but because it was the home so dear to
the great commander through his long career of trial
aud of glory—the home for which he ever yearned,
whether a; the head of a victorious army, or seat
ed tn the Presidential ohiar, the chief ruler of his
country; “his h&rbor of repose,”—“his earthly
paradise,*’ “his beloved Mount Vernon,” a3 it haa
been styled by hia illustrious Biographer. In
that mansion, which every storm threatens to de
-Btroy, and the finger of decay r&vages unchecked
—he past his happiest hours. Taose doors he
threw open to welcome the great and good of other
lands. Those walla echoed with the sound of his
voice in mirth, in council, in prayer! From that
soil sprang the trees he planted with his own
bands, watched with tender solicitude, and even
noted iu his dairy ; they Hand, there *Hill , green as
his memory iu true hearts. There are the pleasure
grounds which he piauned—the garden, with ite
century plant, its lemon and orauge treos, that blos
somed beneath his eyes—tho walks his fe-t have
trodden by the side of hia cherished partner There
is the portico, around the pillars of which lie twined
the coral honey-Buekle, and where has often sat, at
the close of hia well Bpent day, gazing, wiih her,
upon the sparkling waters of the baaut iiul Potomac.
There is the chamber where the Christian Uro
met his Heavenly summons with tho peaceful
ejaculation—“it ij well”—upon hia lipo ; words
which angel voices may have fitly re-echoed a.i
they greeted his enfranchised spirit. Aud there ia
the tomb, (a reproach to the nation who loved him.)
mouldering untended tomb, where lie his ashes !
A coarse, brick coach house, (it seems no better t<>
the eye,) holds the sarcophagi of Washington and
his beloved Martha Around, desolation reigns cu
preine. Neglect and decay have chief domi< ion.”
It appears that Vice Regents have been appoint*
ed for twenty-one States, and that ail of th-teare
zealously at work, collecting funds. The first duty
of the Association, it io stated, will bo to repair the
mansion ; to gather within its walls all tho relics of
Washington; to restore the garden aud pleasure
grounds to tlm order iu which Washington left
them, (a chart in his own hand remains to guide in
the labor;) and to erect a fitting monument over
his grave. What more is to bs accomplished, will
boa matter ior future discussion and decision.

Remarkable Identity Cask in a Kentucky
Court.— A correspondent of the Louisville Journal
deaeriboe an exciting case, involving a complicated
question of identity, which has been on trial for a
week past in tha Adair Circuit Court, and was not
concluded at the time of writing .
In 1835 William Perry Moore, of Monticcello, Ky.,
ulad of seventeen years of age, left bis mothers
house in the night, declaring hia intention of never
returning while his mother lived. He was entitled
t o an estate of some fifteen or twenty thousand dol
lars. Hia mother, who had intermarried vi ith a Mr.
Shepherd, waa hia guardian, and the administrator
of her deceased husband’s estate, John 8. Mnore,
t.nd not having heard anything of her eon, Wm P.
Moore, and supposing him to be dead, she, in 1815.
or 1846, distributed among her children and herself
that portion of the e3tate to which the aid Wm. P.
Moore would have been entitled.
In 1851, Mrs. Margaretta Moore appeared iu Mon
ticello, Kentucky, with her three (laughters, the
t Ideat about eixt‘ u years of age, c aiming to be the
widow ana the children of Wm. P. Moore deceas
ed, whom she married at Columbus, Georgia, in
1812, where they lived until 1815, when they re
moved to Baltimore, Maryland, where they contin
ued to reside unti l J 853, when the said Wm. P.
Moore died. The issue out of Chaucery to be tried
is whether these girls are the children and heira at
law of Wm. P. Moore, of Monticelio, or not. The
depositions and other papers filed in the cause would
well nigh fill u half bubhel measure, all Os Which lilY
t o bo read, independent of a large amount of oral
testimony to be deliver*) j. The defendants prove,
by way of identification, that Wm. P. Moore, of
Monticeilo, waa 5 feet 8 or li‘ inches high, fair akin,
large full eyes, broad shoulders, a little etooped, thin
breasted, large hands and big feet, careless gait and
independent walk, ewings one arm more than the
other in walking, a dimple in oue cheeck aud a
drawing up of one corner of the mouth when he
i smiled, light brown hair and blueish grey eyes, a
j scar across the eye, extending towards tho temple,
i a soar on the jaw, good teeth, but the corner of one
! of tho front teeth a little broken, fond of gambling,
j quick to resent an insult, of an unforgiving disposi
tion, &a.
| The plaintiffs prove that Margaretta Moore was
1 married in Columbus, Ga., in 1842, to one Wm.
I .Perry Moore, who claimed to nave been born in
j Kentucky, and by numerous persons living there
; and in Bailiuuor') (where he died ot consumption in
! 1853.) he is desor bed in every particular precisely
j a* Wm. P. Moore, of Monticelio, is described—
i height, size, form, ey/s, no.:©, mouth, hair, teeth,
! scars, dimple, waik, swing, hands, feet, temper, dia
; position, occupation,, (which was that of a uam
; bier,) &.C., ali correspond exactly. Ju addition to
j which two daguerreotype likenesses of her husband
I aro produced, which, by various witnesses, are
j proven to be good likeneyees cf Wm. P. Moore, of
| Monticelio, and by various witnesses the great re-
I semblance of the eldest girl, especially, to Wm. P.
! Moore, of Monticelio, and to his Bisters, Mrs. Pierce
1 cud Mrs. Green, and his nieces, tho Misses Pierce,
’ &(*., and to his nephews, cousins, &c.; and then,
j again, defendants prove that the daguerrotypes are
i not the good likenesses of Wm. P. Moore, of Mon-
I ticello, and they prove further that a lad by .be
; name of Wm. P. Moore lived in Wheeling, Va, that
he loft that dace about the year .1837, on a steam
boat called Odceoia, and said ha vras going to Co
lumbus, Ga., and they prove further that oue Wm.
P. Moore was k'l!ed m Texas about 1842, who is
described pretty much as Wm. P. Moore, of Monti
celio, is described. It would take a volume to de
tail the incidence, coincidences and contrariety of
etatemsntfi made by the numerous witnesses in the
caea.
Rescuing a Fugitive Slave— Thirty Sevevn
Indjctm&N'ib—On the 13ch of September Wt a
slave named “Little John v was arrested ia Ober
liu, Ohio, by United States deputy marshal Lowe,
of Columbus, by virtue of a warrant issued by U.
8. oummiesionor Chittenden, of the Southern Dis
trict of Ohio, at the instance of Anderson D. Jen
nings, the deputed agent of the owner, John G.
Bacon, both residents of Macon county, Kentucky.
The same day a mob of the citizens of Oberlm
was raised to prevent the execution of the process
by the marshal, and the slave was rescued at Wel
lington, a few miles from Oberiin. Tbe citizens of
tho latter place held a glorification meeting, and de
termined to resist for the future any and every at
tempt to arrest a slave at Oberiin.
Ihe recollection of the affair has mostly died
away, bat ite history haa revived by the recent act
of the U. S. grand jury at Cleveland, who have
brought their labors to a close, by finding true bills
against thirty-seven of tbo ring-leaders in thia af
fair, including the Rev Henry Peck, Pro eeeorin
Oberiin College, Rev. Jas. M. Fitch, formerly mis
sionary to Jamaica, several theological students,
five fugitive slaves and thirty other persona, inclu
ding eleven free eoloreef persons.
The two clergymen aud eleven others are indicted
for aiding and abetting th? rescue < {the o!*’ r e', and
the remaining twenty-four are indictee for the res
cue itself. It ia surmised that whatever course the
white men and free negroes indicted may adopt in
regard to exposing themaetvaa to trial, the fugitive
slaves aiaoLg the indicted will at lea3t disappear
from the scene and take the underground railroad
for some secure retreat.
The Dead Alive. —The young gir! whose sin
gular restoration to life has been previously re
corded is still living. Having had an opportunity
of inquiring into this very remarkable affair we are
enabled to give the following particulars —The
girl, whose name is Amelia Rinks, is 12 or 13 years
of age, and resided with her parents in Bridge
street, Nuneaton, and, dwindling away under sumo
unaccountable complaint, about three weeks ago,
she, as her friends imagined, died. The corpse was
then reinovedto another room. The body was rigid
and icy cold. It was washed and laid out with the
usual deathly accompaniments, penny-pieces being
placed over the eyes and the coffin was ordered.
For more than forty-eight hours the suppoeed
corpse lay beneath the winding Bheet, when it hap
pened that her granfather, a very aged n an, came
from Leamington to the neighborhood of Nuneaton.
Ongoing with a female relation to see the corpse
the old man removed one of the copper coins, and,
although the eye remained closed, he fancied he
saw a movement beneath the lid. The woman with
him at first ridiculed the idea, but on looking more
closely she, too, observed a movement. The medi
cal attendant wes then apprised of the circumstance,
and, although te at firet treated the matter as ade
lusion, the application of an instrument to the re
gion of the heart Buon convinced him that there was
life within the apparent corpse. The body was
then removed to a warmer room, and the existence
of life soon became apparent. By degrees anima
tion was restored, a loud sneeze placing the fact of
ner being a living subject beyond ail doubt. When
speech was restored the girld described everything
that had taken place irom the time of her supposed
death. She knew who had closed her eyes and
placed the coppers thereon She also heard the or
der given lor her coffin, and she described the va
rious remarks made over her as she lay in her
deathclothes.
At first on her restoration, she refused all suste
nance, and on some aliment being forced upon her
she became frightfully excited, and, though, in a
3tate of extreme debility, it required great force to
bold her. Since that period her conduct has been
very strange. She entertains a wish to deetroy her
father and mother, and on one occasion when they
were asleep in the same room with herself she arose
from her bed in the ri*d of night, went down stairs
for a light, and having first destroyed, by burning,
some needle work which she knew her mother “ set
great Btore” upon, she set fire to the curiaine, and
then retired to her bed, from which it was thought
impossible she could have moved. Iu fact, eo mys
terious was the origin of tee fire that her parents
were quite at a loss to account for it, nntil the girl
herself confessed having been the cause. She now
lies in such a state that ehe can neither be called
alive nor dead, the former state being only ascer
tained by a careful examination of her pulse. Were
it not that there is no motive for deception, end the
parent* being creditable people, we should imagine
there was some ruse in this very extraordinary af
fair, which is causing considerable excitement in
Nuneaton and the neighborhood.— Birmingham

The Women or Japan.—A Japan letter says :
“The females of Nagasaki are of the ordinary
height, and some of them are very handsome, and
would create quite a stir in New York if they should

a bright red, and their teeth a jet black. They are

I The .llormra Case—Another Letter from
Gen. Cne.
We recently published a letter from Gen. Cass
’ in reply to one from Mr. A. Hart, president of a
Hebrew congregation in Philadelphia, asking our
government to interfere in behiifof the Mortara
boy. Mr. Hart subsequently wrote another letter
t■> Gen Casa, calling his attentio i to the action of
our government, iu 1810, during Mr. Van RurenV
: administration, in relation to the entities to the
; Jews in Damascus. To thie second letter of Mr.
\ Hart, General Ca?s responds thf*t he can find no
j reason to change the views lie communicated iu
| ki3 first letter, which wore to the effect that the
j abduction of tlie Mortara hey took place tvithint; e
i territories of an independent power, and without
affecting tha rights of any American citizen—un
der such circumstances it was the settled policy of
the United States to abstain tr m ail interiereno?
as they expect ot tier nations to abstain from ail in
terference iu the internal concerns cf tins country.
Gan. Cs.B?, iu hia response, lurther says :
In this additional letter which you have address
ed to me you introduce an extract of a Vtter from
this and partment, dated Augu?t 14, 1840, to ti:e
American Coaeul at Cairo, speaking in ju it terms
ol reprehension of the utroc ous calumnies which
the Jews of Damascus had been then recently sub
jected to, and o tho terrible cruelties which hat
been inflicted upon them. And considering this ae
a case of intervention aud tii a proo that no such
i ettled policy a* that indicated have bee i adoptee
by the United States, you consider also “that the
public support and influence by the good offices of
our govermubiit w j s consistently asked for a sup
pr E6ion of such wrongs to humanity, as were the
occasion oi my former note, etc ” I have no re
marks to make rt-epeotiLg the proceedings of the
government in this case at Dimaseu*, which wa
marked by the most calumnious represeirationfl ol
the Jewish pm.,!a, and ia which excruciating tor
tures were in dieted, and many Uvea Bficr iljeu
But I think r proper to observe- that thL single ac
tion, ou the part of the government, can scarcely be
said to change that character of national iv erve
which I attribute to our foreign policy. Those
1 r nciples of our externa!.‘ercourso nay well be
taui to be oetabhabed, which during thu Seventy
years of our national existence, aud in a alining
period, abounding with great events, every whore
exciting corresponding imeredr, have necn adhered
to with that steadiness of purpose which a u-oit
without, exceptiou, has marked the conduct of our
government while dealing with these subjects.
There are ciuelties and outrages of euch a re
volting nature that it is natural, laudable indeed,
that when they occur they sLouid meet with gene
ral condemnation. But tbiq duty to “outraged hu
manity” should be left to the action of individuals?,
aud the expression of the puDlic opinion ; for k ie
manifest that if our government assume;’ the power
to judge and ceiidure the proceedings of another, or
the laws it recognizes iu cases which do not affect
their own interests or the rights of their citizens, th .
intercourse of nations will soon become a system ot
crimination and recrimination hostile to friendly
communication; for the principle of interference
being once admitted, its application may be in
definitely extended, depending for its exercise ou
the opinion which each country may form of tho
civil policy of another and of the practical opera
tiou. Theie ia no people who would rebuke wit-h
more asperity such intermeddling with their affairs
than would the people of the United States, and i:
becomes ua to maintain the same reserve toward ?
other countries which we expect them to observe
toward us. Liu in an governments are necessarily
imperfect, aud neither the United States nor any
other nation can claim exception from the common
attribute.
If any of the powers of the o!d world should be
lieve there “were wrongs to suffering humanity” in
this country the same principle which would justify
told government in acceding to your application
would justify them in a uimilar measure shftuld they
deem toe circumstances df any case eufl) lientiy
grave to call for their interposition.
Changes in A*ia.
There is scarce anything more worthy of note in
the present aspect of tho world than tho breaking
up of Oriental conservatism. Wit in a few years
past changes have been introduced and relations
with the Powers of Christendom established—either
voluntary or compulsive—-which look like tbe bo
ginning of au9w condition ot society and polity in
Asia.
In Persia—fora long time pest a declining Power
—great reforms are taking place. Since tho dismis
sal from office of Sadrazam Mirsa Ago, Chan, the
Shah has been regulating the finances and re-or
ganizing the army upou a European footing Sev
eral efficient European officers have been engaged
to teach the use of the different fire-arms to the Per
sian arm;/. G n. Krisch, a former Austrian officer,
ia organizing the artillery; Cos!. Baibara, a Nea
politau, is instructing the cavalry and guard of the
Shall; while a number of French officers, who were
engaged by Feruk Chau on hia last, visit to Europe,
are likewise in the military service. The reforms
of the present ruler of Persia extend not only to the
military, but to the entire government of the coun
try. European ide*.a are invading that ancient mo
narchy, which has remained for so many ages iu the
same imperfect stage of civilization.
The progress of Eastern Russia is one of tho re
markable phenomena cl the present time. Siberia
has been civilfked by the exi’ -s sent thither, aud by
voluntary emigration from Russia, until nearly four
out of the five million inhabitants of that region nro
Europeans or of European descent; more fortunate
than their wed era kinsmen in this, that t here ia not
a eefT among them. On 1 heir southern frontier tiro
Russians have been slowly but steadily encroaching
on the Tartar pr iv.nces. They have gradually ab
sorbed and changed the character of almost the en
tire province of Mautchooria. Russian cities, manu
fdCtlliii'ig towns aud poeta ore springi-g up
ca the banks of the Auioor as they spring up iu our
Western country.
Whatever doubts may be entertained by some
of the opening of free intercourse between China
aud tho civilized thing ia certain, that
there never has been so strong a desire on tho part
of the uatii nof Christendom to break through the
barriers she has set up agaiu?t the intrusion of j
foreigners as there now is. All the rest of the world ]
seems to bo conspiring against China and her pro- |
hibitory system. Ravaged and weakened aa that )
country is by civii wars, she must be fortunate iu- jj
d#ed if she can long withstand the assaults of the !
power of the whole trading world, bringing their •
navies to open her porta at the cannon’s mouth \
Treaty after treaty is extorted from her, cadi treaty j
probably to be made the subject of new misundei •
standings, which Trill be followed by a demand lor ■
larger conceeeionn. We may presume that it will
not be possible for China long to escape being •
dragged into the sphere of those influences which
are rapidly cnanging the character of the East— t
Whether a freer intercourse with China would baof ’
any benefit to our own country, except in a mar- ,
cantile point of view, aud whether the commercial /
advantago might not be more than counterbalanced j
by certain mural mischiefs, arc points which we
will not stop to discuss.
Japan, so long closed to all nations but the Dutch, :
and hitherto little known to the European world, is
opened to the commerce of Christendom, and di- 1
plomatic intercourse is promised with l : iG Powers
whose vessels she admits to her porta. If we may
believe the tavoraole accounts lately given of the !
people of that country, they are more likely tobe \
contaminated than made better by their intercourse \
with the people of Europe and America—else there ]
iano truth in the maxim that evil comamnicatfi is \
corrupt good manners. We have already eeen, m :
one of tbe journals, a philanthropic expression of
sorrow for the virtuous Japanese, *who?e fate proba
bly ia to be corrupted by tho contagion of Euro
pean vices.
Meanwhile the Arab race iu Northern Asia sees
the remains of Saracen civilizatipn gradually be
coming merged in tho civilization of Europe. Ii la
not probable that France will remain content with
the provinces ehe now possesses in that region.
Tunis and M< rceco, if her system of Aigerino eivi
lizalion should prove in any degree successful, will
fall next uudor her power. Egypt is becoming Ea
ropeanized—an Arebpiovince governed by Euro
pean influence—an arena on whit h the French and
English enterprise are oontend ng for the mastery. In !
Turkey the discontents of Mussulman population, I
and thi outrages they have committed on th- Chris- !
tians, are caused by seeing the progress of Frank iu
fljence, anu by a consciousness of the danger that the
Chrietiaos may become their masters and lawgivers.
All over Western Aria the useful and ornamental
arts, in those forms in wnich they were practised r>y
the Saracens, are parsing into use. The Arab wo
men of Jericho ear French and English caiicoe3;
the looms of Manchester weave cotton -tuffs for the
Moslem of Damascus. French manufacturers go
with their workmen into byria and sot up mills on
the streams that flow down from Lebanon.
The Indian peninsula, as soon as the rebellion of
the natives is lully quelled, will become, under tbe
new organization of its government, more unlike
than ever to what it was under its Oriental rulers
The Knglich have obtained anew station in toe
waters that part Persia from Arabia; they have
seized the unoccupied island of Perim, commanding
the mouth of the Euphrates, and will make It the
resort of their fleets. Every where the power of
the West is aggrandizing itself; ©very where the
power of the East wanes and passes into decay.—

An Embezzling U. 8. Deputy Marshal.—lnte
resting Narrative. —Several weeks ago, U. S.
Marshal Davidson, of Chicago, Illinois, found im
portant errors in the accounts of his Deputy, Henry
M. Matthews, and in coneequenoe discharged him.
Matthews hurriecly left, ana it soon appeared that
he had stolen and collected some $6,000 w< rth of
writs of execution. The Marshal wrote to Marshal
Rawlings, of our city, expressing the opinion that
the guilty man was ;n this region, describing his
person, and requesting that all feasible means should
be taken to insure his arrest. It waa at length dis
covered that letters arrived at the St. Louis post
office fer him, addressed to Dr. Paul W. Martin, but
tne shrewdest plana and most vigilant waichfulnest
failed in detecting by whose hands thue letters
were finally opened. It was, however, learned that
Mattnews waa in correspondence with a Miss Ken
nedy, residing in Monmouth, opposite Burlington,
lowa. A letter from him to her was intercepted on
its route. It arranged for her that she should at
once start for St. Louis, ehould put up at the
Townslev House, and register her name as Helen
M. Matthews. Bbe was to state that she was a
niece of the Dr. Matthews who ntd formerly
stopped ther6.
Had Marshal Rawlings been at once apprised of
tlie contents of this intercepted letter, the arrest of
Matthews would have be .-a almost certain. Bata
delay n its trariemi-eiou to St. Louis left no other
alternative than stratagem which was ingeniously
deviled and consummately executed. A lady was
procured to go to the Townsiey House, register her
name as directed by Matthews 1 letter, and await
the result. On hia railing she waa. if possible, to
step out, lock the door, aud call an officer, who
should be at hand; or, on tne reception of a letter,
she was at once to give it to the Marshal. In
about an hour after registering the name, and be
ing luxuriously installed in her room, a letter ar
rived for her fs-om Henry M. Matthews, dated at
S- Charles, Mo. The officers at once posted to Bt.
Charles, and found that ilitir man had lately rented
a house there, in which be had placed hie wife end
children. At night the house wa* surrounded, en
tered and searched—-but the bird had flown! Seve
ral of the 3toien writs were found, and property
sufficient to cover some $2,000 of the amount
feloniously appropriated. Matt hews haa since been
the eubject of a cautious and comprehensive plan
to arrest him in any of the cities of the Union, but
he has thus far still deluded his pursuers.
It appears that hia intention waa to leave hi® family
at St. Caarles, and go to some cislant region with
the Monmouth lady. The eearch of hia hou*e at Sr.
Charles exceedingly surprised and deeply affectec
his wife, who was evidently in utter ignorance of
her huebanh’s transactions and purposes.— St. Louis

Lake Pirates. —A email schooner. about 30 tons
burthen, has been recently seizea at Detroit, Mich ,
and several persons, alleged to be connected with
the vessel, have been arrested on suspicion of be
ing engaged in a genera! system of piracy along
the lakee. A quantity of goods found on board
bore evidence of having been stolen, and a large
number of skeleton keys, padlocks, dec., were iu
the vessel, together with a bundle of letters, which,
it is said, conclusively piove the ei'Etcnoe of an
organized gang of thieves and pirate3 along the
shore of Lake Erie, if it extends no farther.
Blowing cot a Candle —There is one small

The Camel—His Nature, Habile, ano C*es
Washington. Nov. !29, 1858.
To the Editors of the National Intelligencer :
Gentlemen: I observed in th N*ional I o toll
gencer ot the iMt.h in?t, a re-publioatiou ot an ar?
cie iro’.n iho Alabama Sentinel “Ou the U<*es o
U mets,” by a correspondent who B>gna feint*.
*\Jatro3.” Tlie purpose of the article ;* to indui
uquiry as to the usefulness of the camel Ju the pf<
motion of corn ami cottou, and on our plan tat :oi
sicneruliy. Having been occupied now ten yo u
with the experimented introduc : Pg tbe oarael in*
thia country, permit n e to offer, ibrousrh you
column?, briefly, to “Jatros” and other inquirers
‘-w of the results of reading, obscrva iou, ai c
tiionght upon lh*?o point;. To do °o concisely, an
at the same time sufficiently, I will follow tli-m i
their order, nn preneuted by }Our correspondent.
The eiimalive range of the camel, widen vriiicl
tie haa been known, indisputably, to live, thriv*
and beuedul, may bed ated at Iroai 50° to 52°
■lorth latitude. The mean temperatnre of t!u
KOae may bo rated at from .*o° to lB° Fohranl.t-i
A- animal-, wo know, era diffused over she glob
first, according lo zoned of climate, and, seubh<
vcording io degrees of longitude; and at- we know
tnat “camel laud” and tho United States are inotu* •
din the same zones of ciitua'e ; aud as, fur the
cue secondary v>rder of arrangement (oy longiturl
i* but of trivial importance, your correspondent
ght in hia supposition “that the camels wouh
flourish in any latitude within the United States.”
The-cost of a camel, a good, servioeab: on*
auded a- Mobite or Pensacola, may be put dov.
at froji §l5O to §2Ol) —not more, I think, If the pui
chase ana transport tion ure jud ciouely rcanogc’
L‘be greatest expense in general will be,in t
reight. In auy project, therefore, for the iotrodu
• ion of the animal, this mail be the main item lo
close calculation, bo far as the voyage i3 con
cemsd, th; ro need be no apprehension, tor 1 kno
or no animal so little ttoabiesome and so comfort
bio at sea au the camel 1 speak Horn a tolerably
large experience iu rite transportation or horses an
muled during our war vrith Mexico. So ‘m as th*
motion of the veiael goes, whether in calm or i>
one hundred camels v> ow'd not cause as muoh
anxiety or give as much trouble as ten horses.
The came i qoos no: Consume more food than?
horse or male; prefers a c arser diet ; satitfio.’ i
srif readily with either scanty grazing or browsing ;
requires feeding hut oroe a day, being a ruminant ;
>md would be with difficulty distressed for water.—
I** inquires no close stable ; only ashed protecting
it Irom cold northerly wince and from tailing weail
er; and requires no grooming, though certein.y
healthier and better, hkt. all other animals, for a
clean skin The camel isl undoub edly a hardiei
aud tougher anirn . than the horse ; not surpassed,
ii equalled, in ths'sc respects, by tha mule; tun.
with half tho forage of either, an .1 with two or thr* *
hours of grazing or browsing, can bo kept in eoudi
t on. Iu addition lo tbe economy ot f > ag, the use
ot Gamble saves the outlay for wagon.-’ and carls,
hamea?, shoes, aad the rmceesary repairs of them.
The pack saddle being co cm pie in is construction
Li to bo readily made .a tin? plantations, its cost
will be but trifling. ItJ Weight, moreover, com
pared with that of a wagon or cart, increases the
physical energy devoted to the transportation ol
uoofie. For a-.ort distances, eay about a plantation,
or for six or eight miles on the rou*i, a strong camel
will carry on aa average from eight hundred toon*
thousand pounds. The Tiviua of Asia Minor, the
produce ci’ the double-humped Bactrian male on the
single-humped Arabian female, will average, for
tboaanie distance, from one thousand to fifteen
hundred pounds. All of the statements in my offi
cial report of what was dona by the camels under
my direction iu Texas are made from accurate
weights and closely computed distances.
So far, tbe general advantages fimn using camels
may be summed up us folio wa;
Tuey will flourish as well in the United States ea
either horses or moles.
They may bo introduced at Mobile or Pensacola
at rat. a not gi cater, certainly not much greater,
than present prices tor good mules.
They aro no, as expensive Lo feed aa horses or
cm!f s.
They require no close uiahke nor grooming.
They are ua tough aud aa hardy uj either horse or
mule.
Ttoy sure a heavy outlay for wagons, carta, har
ness, auu shoes, and a constant tax for their re
pairs.
i h- ir pbyric.il energy is not largely drawn upon
fjr the draught of a wagon or cart, aud therefore L
proportionately given more ueofully to tho trans
portation oi goods.
They will do more work at the same cost and
keeping than either horfce or mule.
These arc the general advantages tbai I think
may bo fairly claimed lor tbo camel. Now,
lee ud examine how far this animal, with these ad
vantage, may bo suitable for our plantation or faun
uses.
In Egypt I have seea the camel used in cities and
in the country, on plarffatious, in fields, and ou the
road, for every purpose that horses and mules aie
used wit b us. I have seen them tra ieporting brick*
and broken is tone Irom yards and quarries lor build
ingfl, sleepers, rafters, scantling, boards for flooring,
<Stc. I have *:eeu them carrying chopped Mra*-,
corn, cotton, fodder, me rob udisc of all kinds, men,
women and children,’ and with l heir burdens step
ping intelligently and with sure fooLeduesa into and
out of ciumsey ferry boa!?. And I have seen them
usefully occupied in carrying burdens on tho dams
and chock banka cf rice plantations. Is there any
ihing more t han these uses that our plaucutionß and
farms require ?
Asa southern man, from a cotton, corn, aud
rice growing section, I believe that ia many re
spects we might use camels with advantage jin our
agricultural labors, while pulling corn or fodder, or
picking oolton, lo transporting them from tho fieide
to the barn or gin bou-e, ia carr. iug seed, manu-e,
fire-wood, <&c., about the plantation, ana in trans
porting produce and goods to and from the railway
or market. So far as tho negro ia o mcerned, lam
ii.-i tie lied, rrem c knowledge of the nature and habit*
of both, i hat no animal better gulfed to Min fu ail
roppects than the came! can be given to liie manage
ment.
That the pr&seeding may prove of interest enough
to find a place in your c -laams, and result in bene
fit to our country, especially to that section of it
v/o both hail from, w my apology for trbe,passing
| upon you.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
llknky C. Wayne,
Major United States Army.
] The Bay State Mills —A New Corporation,

course would involve unreasonable responsibilities.

A Florence correspondent of the Boston Courier
cays : Through the kindness of Mr. Powers, an op
portunity was afforded me of seeing his bronze
statue of Webster, at the foundry here, the day be
fore it was prepared for shipment. It is a noble
figure, of more than fife size, representing Webster
a* standing erect, hi* left Laud resting on a bundle
cf fasces, while hid right hand holds across his breast
a roll of manuscript. The costume is modern
throughout, and the drese-ccat is buttoned over the
che3t. I was greatly disappointed in the Lead of
the statue; it appeared to’ rne a failure as to form,
likeness, and intellectual expression. Tbe statue
was cast in one piece ; the bronz3 ia quite different
in color from th .t of the Munich found? v, being dull
and muddy looking. Mr. Powers has just comple
ted, at bis studio, a copy of the Fisher Boy, for the
Hon Hamilton Fish, and is now engaged on a bust
of Mr?. Wade Hampton, whose brother, the Hon.

Tne.'d iy, we learn that a serious ucci *.ut oocun.d
on the train of the Ohio and Mississippi railroad, < u
which ho was a passenger, ou Tuesday aileron
between Vienna and Mitchell. The irain wes run -
ning at a very high speed, being twelve minu’es
behind time, which tho engineer was trying lo make
up. The schedule time requires tbe passenger
trains on this road to make. 17 miles per hour. T i.-ei
were three passenger cars ou this toad, tho middle
car beingappropnatedlor ladies. C ipt.Miiier w.-.t
in ihe last cur.
A fiange iu a wheel in the foremost car broke,
and i. ran off the track. The coupling p::i, by
which it was attached to the cats before :t, cmum
out, and it ran iuto a bank, dragging the ladies’
car along with it. The first car was up tt am!
brokea into pieces. Tae last car, in which Capt.
31. was, remained on the track. A brakesman was
caught between the two cars that were off tho
track, and was killed. The locomotive passed on
some distance before the engineer was aware of tho
accident. The unfortunate man was held between
the cars some fifteen minutes, the effort', of t:.e p .
seugers to relieve him proving unavailing. Wu
!„ wag taken cut life was extiro!, and his body y/au
black.
Abu-ut thirty passengers were mure or less in

Buckwheat as Food.—M. Isidore Pierre hasre
cently been making some investigations of buck
wheat, lrem which we aonderso the following in
teresting results: Buckwheat rakes are i qual lo
pure wuite bread as regards the phosphates or bone
making material and nitrogenous principles widen
they contain, and are superior to broad in fatty
matters. The general yield of buckwheat when
cooked is about three times the weight cf the dour
tried, showing that suoh flour will retain forty to
forty-one per cent, of water. Between different
batches of ground buckwheat there is a groat die
similarity of composition—one batch containing
nearly seven times as much nitrogen, twenty-live
times the arm-nntof phosphates, and a hundred a ■
fifteen times as much fatty mailer as another The
bian is the richert portion of the buckwiu bui
cannot be digested by weak stomachs. The fine *
quali ie of buckwheat ffour and the white mill due:
especially, are very suitable for children and p, r
eons in delicate hea'th, while ihe coarser varieties
require a strong stomach and tench exercise for
their pcriect digestion.

his house rising thirty years, showing, at least, that
he reposed the utmost coi.fiaencs in the stamiity of
that proeperoue institution, and that he woe not
specially desirous ot the interest that might have ac
crued from ihs. sum. By a calculation, it will lie
seen that in thirty five years, the o. rnpound inter
est tberecn wouldbave amounted to about $7,0011.
In his will he bequeathed to his sister the very libe

about $10,0(10, to bis nephew, who was very agree
