The reported challenge of .Senator Douglas
by l.ane, of Kansas, turns out to he, like the
official pretensions of Lane, “bogus.” The
Sentinel says that Lane and his friends only
got up the talk about it in order to secure the
interference of the police and have the possi
bility of sindi a meeting prevented. Lane did
not send a challenge, and had no serious idea
of doing so. At the battle of Buena Y'ista he
was the leader of the famous running regiment
of Indiana, and, no doubt, like the crippled
captain in some other noted engagement, “asbo
was a little lame, he started first.” It is said
that Mr. Hunt, of Louisiana, tried to persuade
him out. to the “field of honor” a year or two
ago, hut. without success. lie has furnished
an occasion for a good deal of “crowing” by
his abolition friends over his pretended chal
lenge of Douglas, but the exposure of the trick
will convince them that they mustbringinto the
rihg some other cock that will fight. Why not
try lleecher, with his rifle ? or Lucy Stone,
with a broomstick ? or old Mrs. Stowe, with
her knitting-needle ?

The French Government seems determined

The French press dares not express its dissat
isfaction, and tlie British papers that oppose
ami ridicule the adjustment are seized and re
tained at the French post oftices. The Lon
don Daily News, Morning Advertiser and Sun
have been proscribed in this way. The latter
paper had a black border around its pages, as
a token of mourning on account of the pence.

which the Cuba struck, must have shifted its
place in the channel of the river, and that
therefore the officers of the Cuba could not
well have avoided running upon it. This
question ought to be thoroughly investigated,
tor the case of the Cuba is peculiarly one
which calls for legal cognizance, and the safety

‘The News from Nicaragua.
We have at length some definite account of
Hoblessiuger’s defeat, which we copy in
another column. It will be seen that the
cause of the disaster was precisely what we
thought it would turn out. to be—the inca
pacity of a foreign officer to lead American
volunteers. In fact, the accounts show that
.Schlessinger was not only incapable, but cow
ardly ; that he relied almost entirely upon his
two European companies, which ran at the
first approach of the enemy, leaving the Lou
isiana and New York companies to make a
brave but unsuccessful effort to maintain the
position. Had neither Schlessinger nor his
European troops been in tlio action, the
Americans would have stood a better chance
to repel the enemy, strong as they were in
numbers; for the flying commander and bis
“ favorite” companies only confused and dis
tracted those who made a stand The Costa
Kioaus numbered about 1,000 men, and were
armed with Minnie rifles.
‘fhe Charles Morgan landed about 200 men

The Wheeling Bridge case, which has just
i een decided in favor of the Bridge Company
by the Supreme Court of the Uuited States,
was commenced by tho State of Pennsylvania
which attained an injunction from a court be
low against the company, on the ground that
the bridge (to pass under which steamboats
had to lower their chimneys) was an impedi
ment to commerce and established a “prefer
i nee to a regulation of the commerco of a port
ot one State over those of another,” which the
constitution of the United States forbids. Tho
Supremo Court has decided that the bridge is
not such an obstruction as the constitution
contemplates, and therefore decrees a dissolu
tion of the injunction.

In tin New Orleans Picayune of the 23d
inst., we I’m I tlie account of the defeat of Bull lea
se tiger which vve copy below, it was commu
nicated In that paper by a correspondent in Ni
caragua, and forwarded by the Charles .Mor
gan, which arrived at New Orleans ou .lic22d:
Bchlessonger, at the head ot about OUU men
marched into Costa llieu, with the intention of
attacking Guanacaste, u town ol six or eight
thousand inhabitants, about sixty miles Irurn
Lake Nicaragua. On the morning of tho 2Uth
ult., lie arrived within eight miles of tho tow n
and encamped on a slight eminence, with open
ground and dense thickest.-; behind and on each
side of him. lie threw out a picket guard iu
front, hut left his flanks and rear entirely un
protected.
About 3 o’clock that afternoon, while the
men wero busied iu getting water, sleeping,
&c., witli their arms stacked, the camp was
suddenly attacked by about bOU Costa Ricans,
who approached on botli flanks and met in
front. Hcbleesenger, it is said, wnsasleep, but
as soon us tho alarm was given, the captains
formed their companies as soon as possible, and
presented an imposing front to thcenemy. The
command consisted of one French and one
German company, a New Orleans company,
under Capt. Thorpe, a New York company un
der Capt. Creighton, and Capt. A. F. KttUler’s
company of Voltigcurs. Tho three hitter com
panies exchanged shots with the enemy, and
looked round for their commander, to receive
his orders. What must have been their sur
prise and horror to perceive him in full re
treat, running on foot, and followed by the
German and French companies. In vain did
the Major, a gallant young fellow named O’Neil,
endeavor to intercept the cowardly command
er and rally the fugitives. The panic soon
communicated to the others, who probably saw
the t utility of their continuing the combat
against such a superior force, and they also
broke and ran, the whole command being thus
scatttercd and at the mercy of the pursuing
foe.
The loss of the Nicaraguans is notyet known,
but when my informant left Virgin Bay the
men were straggling in by twos and threes,
and ninety were still missing. Schlessenger
had been arrested, and was being tried by court
martial at last accounts, on two charges, of
treason and cowardice. The first charge is
based upon the supposition that when lie was
sent into Costa Rica, some months since, as En
voy from Nicaragua, he concerted measures
with the Costa Rican Government to betray
the Nicaraguans. This charge will pvobably
not be sustained, but that of cowardice un
doubtedly will be, and none who knows Walk
er’s firmness and determination doubt that he
will be shot.
On Wednesday last the 9th inst., a party of
Walker’s men, 17 in number, attacked a large
party of Costa Ricans at a place on the San
Juan river called Serapiqui, andalthough sev
en of them ran away on the first fire, the other
ten remained and achieved a complete victory.
This has raised the spirits of the Walker party,
and it is still thought by them that he will ral
ly his forces and come out right side up. He
evidently possesses a hold upon his followers
that is not to be shaken by ordinary circum
stances.
The last intelligence we have from Walker
is, that he was at the head of about 700 men,
and was at or near Virgin Bay, with the in
tention ot meeting the Costa Ricans, who were
reported to bo on the march into Nicaragua.
From Washington.
Washington, April 22, 185 G.
The last steamer brought dispatches ad
dressed by the Spanish Minister of Foreign
Relations to our Minister at Madrid, in reply
to the demands made at different times for re
dress in the matter of firing into and detain
ing the steamer El Dorado by the Spanish
man-of-war Ferrolano.
The Spanish Government most decidedly
but courteously refuses to comply with tho
wishes of our Government, and the Minister
argues that, according to the law of nations,
the Commander of the Ferrolano did nothing
more than the peculiar circumstances at. that
time in the neighborhood of Havana justified.

The “Southern Matron,” President of the
Ladies Association of Virginia to purchase
tho .Mount \ ernon estate, publishes a coinmu
cation in the Philadelphia Inquirer which ex
plains the whole matter satisfactorily, and
from which wo learn that the association, on
their first application to Mr. Washington, re
ceived from him an answer to the effect that
ho was unwilling to sell Mount Vernon to
any other purchaser than the State of Virginia
or the General Government. The Southern
Matrou says:
“The appeal to purchase from Mr. Wash
ington lias been responded to in a manner
which, while there is no departure from Mr.
Y\ ashington’s expressed condition—viz: con
veying tlie property ‘in trust’ deed to the
State—yet gives the association all a State
constitution permits, with this restriction:
our appeal spoke only of a trust deed arrange
ment for tho property. The assembly au
thorized Governor Johnson to contract with
Mr. Washington for Mount Vernon in tho
manner in which Mr. W. had consented to
dispose of it—that is, a trust deed to the
Stato. The additional act of chartering the
Mount Vernon Association does not make the
latter a party to any transaction in which
Mr. W. is to bo concerned—it is purely one
between the State of Virginia and tlie asso
ciation.

Curiosity Punished.
A policeman in Buffalo left a pair of hand
cuffs iu a store, and went away out of town.
Tho same day a porter in the store thought
he would try them on. The handcuffs are so
constructed that they lock by means of a
spring and cannot be opened except by a pe
culiar shaped key, which is made to fit each
pair. The man’s wrists were soon inserted,
but they were not so easily removed. He
rushed lrautically to the police office, and
then in turn to all the policemen, but none
could unlock the cutis. lie wore tho orna

INTERESTING POLITICAL NEWS.
By tlie Steamship Arabia.
The proceedings of tlie Peace Congress cou
tinued. It is said that Austria gives trouble
by persistently refusing to fix the time for
evacuating the Principalities, notwithstanding
she is bound by the treaty to quit the Ottoman
territory on the conclusion of peace. Her
pretext is th • necessity of protecting tlie
country against disorder until a regular ad
ministration is established. Russia strongly
adheres to Austria’s position. Later intelli
gence, however, states that the Austrian
troops were leaving the Principalities.
The French army is to be reduced from
000,009 to 400,000 men.
Advices from St. Petersburg state that tlie
law prohibiting the export of produce had
been repealed. A proclamation by the Czar
states that tho Russian fleets iu the Black Sea
and Sea of Azov will not be reinstated. Many
grain vessels at Odessa had secured orders to
proceed to Marseilles, which had caused a
considerable fall in the Marseilles market.
The English Cabinet had rejected tlie propo
sition in relation to the Sound Dues on the
terms proposed, but would itself make a
proposition.
A dispatch from Paris states that the Allies
bad ordered the blockade to be raised at all

The French Government denies that an ex

El Dorado.
The Pi iris correspondent of the London Post
says that the Telegraph has been constantly
employed on the Italian question between Na
ples, Vienna and Paris, the proposition of the
Sardinian Minister, Count Oavour, having
been referred to those Courts that France and
England should make the final decision. A
commission ol’ Austrian and Russian officers
tor the rectification of the Moldavian frontiers
were in Paris waiting orders.
The very latest advices state that Austria
had agreed to evacuate the Principalities.
Turkey shows great anxiety to bo relieved
Irom tlie presence of the Allies.
It is said that Napoleon will visit Algeria.
Tlie question in relation to the Sound Dues
makes no progress, and probably it will not
,be proceeded with until it be known what ac
tion the United States will take in the matter.
The energies of the Russian Government
are said now to be devoted to an alliance with
France, the completion of the great rail roads
in that country', and the diffusion ol’ a Russian
feeling throughout tlie Continent of Europe,
especially Germany.
Curious Invention.
Yesterday General Houston called the case
of Edward D. Tippet, of Washington, and
asked that it be referred, in connexion with
the petition which he then presented, to the
Committee on Patents. The petition related
to the “navigating balloon” which was in
vented by Mr. TANARUS., and for which he now asks
an appropiation to enable him to perfect and
apply his invention in a practical manner.
The idea of aerial navigation has always
seemed so chimerical, that any attempt to
bring it about has been viewed as speculative
This petition of Mr. Tippet, however, excited
our attention, and we determined to see what
he was doing, and accordingly called at his
workshop on Capitol llill. Here we saw the
model of his “navigating balloon,” an ac
count of which we give as near as possible.
The working model of the balloon which we
saw is in the form of a sphere—is made of
prepared silk, constructed upon two very thin
sheet copper cylinders, one of which is called
the “inflator,” and the other the “compressor.”
When the balloon is inflated by tho passage
of the gas through the “inflator,” and it has
ascended to any given altitude, and the voy
ager wishes to descend, he drives the gas into
the “compressor” by an air pump, thus de
priving the balloon of its buoyancy and cau
sing it to collapse and descend. When he wish
es to rise again lie discharges the gas back
from the “compressor” into tlie balloon
proper, when it again rises. He meets the
objection that the gas when compressed will
evaporate, by saying that he can carry anew
machine for the manufacture of gas with him.
The process of navigating the balloon, is
carried on by two propellers revolving in op
posite directions, which propellers are placed
on their axes at an angle of ninety degrees.
By their action on the atmosphere, these pro
pellers give the balloon a steady position, and
by causing a vacuum in front of the balloon,
form a powerful current of air in the rear,
which drives the balloon in thisvaenum. The
propellers ever in advance of the balloon, as
they are fixed iu its front, keep forming that
vacuum as long as they continue in motion,and
tlie balloon by this means, is continually and
rapidly advancing. The direction of the bal
loon is guided by a rudder reaching far be
hind, operating on the same principle as does
the rudder of a ship.
The theory of wind and air currents shows
that above a given altitude these currents are
not to be found, and that consequently there
is nothing to interfere with serial navigation
at that height. Advantage can be taken of
these currents when their direction coincides
with tlie way the traveler wishes to go.
We give this account of the nature and de
sign ot the balloon for the information of our
readers, that they may know what is going on
in our midst. While wo would not wish to be
understood as endorsing this new thing as
practicable, we may safely say that it does
seem to us that some advantage can he de
rived from it, and that it may be worth expe
rimenting upon.
During the Mexican war, this machine, we
are told, was thoroughly examined by the
Secretary of War and a special Congressional
committee, who reported in favor of building
a monster balloon, to operate against tho Cas
tle ot San Juan de Ulloa, by hovering over
and dropping combustibles into it. The cap
ture of the castle put a stop to its further
consideration.
Mr. Tippett, tho inventor, is well known as
an indefatigable investigator iu speculative
mechanics, and his ideas of finding the princi
ples of perpetual motion have rendered every
thing he undertakes suspicious ou that score.
In this case, however, we are glad that the
subject is before Congress, for if there is any
advantage to be derived from the invention, it
will now be found.— Washington Organ.
A Sailor’s Idea of the Efleot of Prayer.
At them ament when, on the 14th of Octo
ber, 1797, the British fleet under Admiral Dun
can, and tlie Dutch fleet commanded by De
\\ inter, were about to engage, two sailors,
passing by Admiral Duncan’s cabin, saw him
on his knees. “My eyes, Jack,” exclaimed
one, “ what is tho Admiral about there ?”
“ Praying to Heaven,” replied the other.
“ Praying for what?” “ That the Lord give
us victory.” “ Well, now, that's a blasted
shame. We are well able to lick them otir-
give the beggars a chance. ”
Indian Com as Food.
Considering (lie fact that maize was the
great article of substinence among the North
American Indians at the discovery of this con
tinent, and that it is capable of as many ded
icate preparations as any other cereal grain,
it is strange that its introduction into Europe
has been so tardy and difficult. The Tobacco
and the Potato, spread, by general consent,
all over Christendom. Th® more nutritious,
wholesome and blessed Corn of the ludiaus,
has been left to work its way laboriously to
the position it deserves among the precious
gifts of nature. The nations of Europe are
only beginning to appreciate the value of In
dian Corn as an article of substinence, but
they are beginning. .
Now, our climate is peculiarly that of the
corn. It lias its native seat in or near our
latitude. It attains its greatest perfection of
flavor in this region. It is with us, a great
article of food. We are likely, therefore, more
than any other people, to be benefitted by the
dissemination of a taste for tlie many palata
ble preparations of which it is capable. Eu
rope will doubtless make many valuable im
provements on our rude cookery, and may
perhaps succed in proving that Indian Corn
is as much superior in the refinements of epi
curism, as is undoubtedly’ in tlie wholesome
ness of ordinary diet, to the cereal grains of
Asia.
But we leave this matter to the mercy of
the Hygienists. The fact is apparent, that
Corn is becoming a great article of food to
Europe; and it is equally certain that the
Southern States can supply this demand
more surely and more cheaply than any other
part of the world.
Corn grew originally in the Southern States.
It is their heritage by nature, and tlie earth
and the air here form its natural home. It
conies to its greatest perfection here, as to
sweetness of taste and power of nutrition.
Hence the Southern people have anew and
genial field before them. They have already
assumed and nobly fulfilled the office, to
clothe the world. A still more interesting
one will be, to feed the world; and that seems
ready to descend upon us. Let us bear our
honors meekly, but, at the same time, let us
not spurn our opportunities and trifle with
our fortunes. —Charleston Mercury.
Fit for a Lawyer.
An old lady walked into a lawyer's office
lately, when the following conversation took
place:
Lady—’Squire, I called to see if you’d like
to take this boy and make a lawyer of him.
Lawyer—The boy appears rather young,
madam. How old is ho ?
Lady—Seven years, sir.
Lawyer—He is too young—decidedly too
young. Have you no older boys ‘!
Lady—Oh, yes, sir, we have several; butwo
have concluded to make farmers of the others.
I told my old man I thought this little feller
would make a first rate lawyer, and so I called
to see if you would take him.
Lawyer—No, madam, he is too youngyet to
commence the study of the profession. But
why do you think this boy so much better cal
culated for a lawyer than your other sons ?
Lady—Why, you see, sir, he is just seven
years old to-day ; when he was only five, he’d
lie like all nature ; when be got to be six, he
was sassy and impudent as any critter could
be ; and now he’ll steal every thing he can lay
his hands on.
Complaints.
Neal, the author of the Charcoal Sketches,
thus admirably takes off that class of peopfo
who are never so happy as when they are
making themselves miserable:
“How are you, Trepid ? How do you feel
to-day, Mr. Trepid ?”
“A great deal worse than I was, thankee;
most dead, I’m obliged to you; I’m always
worse than I was, and I don’t think I was
ever any better. I’m very sure, anyhow,
I’m not going to be any better; and for the
future you may always know I’m worse,
without asking any questions, for the ques
tions make me worse, if nothing else does.”
“Why. Trepid, what is the matter with
you?”
“Nothing, I tell you, in particular, but a
great deal is the matter with me in general
and that’s the danger, because we don’t know
what it is. That s what kills people, when
they can’t tell what it is, that’s what’s killing
me. My greatgrandfather died of it, and so
will I. The doctors don’t know; they can’t
tell; they say I’m well enough when I’m had
enough, and so there’s no help. I’m going
off some of these days right after my grand
father, dying of nothing particular but of
every thing in general. That’s wlmt finishes
our folks.
*’ Where are you Going P”
An anecdote is told of Finney, “the revival
ist, ’ and a canaler, to the following effect:
He was holding forth in Rochester, and in
walking along the canal one day, came across
a boatman who was swearing furiously.
Marching up, he confronted him, and abruptly
asked—
“ Sir, do you know where you are going?”
The unsuspecting man innocently replied
that he was going up the canal on the boat
Johny Sands.
“ No, sir, you are not,” continued Finney,
“ you are going to hell faster than a canal boat
can convey you.”
The boatmen looked at liim in astonishment
lor a minute, and then returned tho question:
“ Sir, do you know where you are going ?”
“ 1 expect to go to heaven.”
“ No, sir, you are going into tho canal!”
And suiting the action to the word, took Fin
ney in his arms and tossed him into the ruur
key waters, where he would have drowned
had not the boatman relented and fished him
out.
Better Get ’em First.
About thirty-five years ago there resided in
the town of Hebron a certain Dr. TANARUS., who be
came very much enamored of a beautiful young
lady, resident in the same town, The Doctor
was a strong and decided Presbyterian, and
his lady-love was a strong and decided Bap
tist. They were sitting together one evening,
talking of theirjapproaching nuptials, when the
Doctor remarked :
“ 1 am thinking, my dear, of two events
which l shall number among the happiest of
my life.”
“ And pray what may they be, Doctor ?” re
marked the lady.
“One is the hour when I shall call you ‘wife’
for the first time.”
“ And tlie other.”
“ It is when we shall present our first horn
for baptism.”
“ What ! sprinkled ?”
“ Yes, my dear spriukled.”
“ Never shall a child of mine lie sprinkled.”
“ But mine shall.”
“ They shall be, hey ?”
“ Yes, my love.”
“ Well, sir, then I can tell you that your
babies won’t be my babies. So good uiglit
sir.”
The lady left the room, and the Doctor
left the house. The sequel was, that the Doc
tor never married, and the lady is an old maid.
