Too Many of the Breed.
England lias been prolifioof ruling Georges,
and has had cause to rue the policy of one or
two of them; hut the Montgomery Journal of the
I ind. enumerates more than are to bo found
in the hook.” That paperspeuks of “George
til,’ and says that a copy of the lives of the
eminent men of lii.s reign was recently served
upon Mr. Fillmore by Lord Brougham. We
Oust that our worthy Ex-President ignored
more than one hundred of the Georges, and
that his thoughts reverted to Saratoga and
\ orktown.
The lied River Country.
We learn from the Shreveport Gazette of the
Itith ult., that rain was greatly needed in that
section, and much anxiety was felt for the fate
of the crops. A let ter fromMinden states that
corn and cotton were not up, and planters
feared that they would not sprout in “red-hot
and.” Several of the Red River steamers
were aground, with no prospect of getting off
before another rise, and tho chance for rain
enough before winter to swell the riverseomed
almost hopeless.
A Now Dodge in Hanking*
Two or three days ago, the Atlanta Intelli
gencer published some hints anil correspon
dence tending to “show up” in a strong light
a very novel and rather desperate expedient
resorted to by the Planters and Mechanics’
bank of Dalton, (la. A.house in Philadelphia
remitted to IJ, 1,. Wright, Esq., of Atlanta,
S9OO in bills on the Hank at Dalton, with in
"truetions to have them cashed. Mr. AVright
-eut a messenger to Dalton to present them at
the counter of the Bank for redemption. The
Cashier of the Bank commenced counting the
coin very deliberately, hut was not satisfied
with the first, second, or third counts, and was
proceeding with a fourth, when the Sheriff of
Whitfield county stepped into the oftice and
immediately attached the money (the bills sent
up by Mr. Wright) as the property of one
Lewis, of Cleveland, Ohio ! This, it was said,
was done at the instance of a Mr. Kibbee,
agent for Preston & Cos., of Chicago, 111., who
claimed that they had “discounted” the same
bills to Lewis, who “still owed them,” and
who had agreed to “ circulate the currency”!
These extraordixary proceedings, of course,
raised the strong presumption that the officers
of the Bank had sent for the sheriff to levy this
attachment, and that their long delay in count
ing- the coin was for the purpose of occupying
the time until his at rival. We did not notice
the case, ns we might have done, a day or two
ago, because there are generally two sides to
a statement of this kind, and we expected that
when the Dalton paper arrived we should get
the counter-statement of the Bank oflicors.—
But the Times of tho Ist inst., now before ns,
contains no justification of the Bank. In an
editorial article, it urges tho necessity of ob
taining a “sound home currency,” and says
ihut “those who control the two llanksin this
place prefer doing a legitimate home business,
as soon ns public confidence will enable them
to obtain a wholesome circulation for their is
sues abroad;” at tlie same time tendering an
assurance “to those who have been holding up
the Banks of Dalton as ‘wild-cats,’ that they
are now doing much to domesticate themselves
and pro- -- ■ soon to become local institutions.”
In plain is, we suppose, puss will cease
rambling off to distant cribs and storehouses
in pursuit of game, if the mice of her own
Jumsehold will only be less shy and come with
in her reach. This would be “domestication”
with a vengeance, and wo would warn the
heretofore cautious little mice about Dalton to
beware of “mcal-iub” tricks, and, if possible,
to pat a bell on the feline monster without de

ton Lyric” (which will apply as well to short
tailed wild “varmints” ns to the sleek “domes

A Contrast.
A correspondent nftii.* Atlanta Examiner,
vaitiug from a steamer on the Missouri river,
states that the Southern party on the boat
uumbered thirty-two, of whom twenty-five
were Georgians. They were all lively ami in
good spirits, and enjoyed the best of fare. On
the lower deck were a company of emigrants
: ent out by the Northern abolition societies,
and he describes them ns “the most abject and
pitiful objects lie bad ever seen/’ The two
companies on this boat were but fair speci
mens ot the class aud condition of the emi
grants sent out by their respective sections ;
and the miserable manner in which the Free
soilers were provided for proves that their
purchasers cared nothing for their health or
omfort, but only used them as senseless and
passive tools for working out a political end.
is it not a “mockery in the face of high heav
en” for such men to prate about Southern
slavery".

The steamship Persia made her last and
best trip from Liverpool to New York in a
little less than ten days. She has not yet
beaten the time of one or two of the Collins
steamers, and has fallen far short of the ex
pectations of her builders. It will soon be
seen whether the Adriatic (which has some
novelties in her construction) will do better
American Standing Abroad.
The recent wholesale massacres of Ameri
can citizens in Nicaragua and Panama call
loudly upon our Government for energetic ac
tion to regain the respect which we seem to
have lost among nations, and to prevent a re
petition of such bloody outrages. Itis evident
that without such demonstration a citizen of
the United States will he nowhere safe outside
of the boundaries of his own country, aud that
murder and pillage will be continued with im
punity. Ju Nicaragua, we witness the spec
tacle of an invading force seizing a route of
travel guaranteed to the citizens of the United
Stines by treaty stipulations, murdering in
cold blood the unarmed agents and employees
engaged in keeping open the route, and by of
ticial proclamation threatening death to all
North Americans who attempt toposs over the
highway which their own enterprise has estab
lished and protected by solemn treaty engage
ments! At Panama, a trivial and bloodless dis
pute between a drunken New Yorker aud a
native is made the ostensible pretext lor the
indiscriminate butchery of American citizens
by the score, the robbing of hundreds of help
less men and women, and the destruction of
hundreds of thousands of dollars of American
property. Whichever party may have been
most to blame in commencing the disturbance,
the outrages were wholly unprovoked and un
justifiable, and cannot be attributed to the
trivial matter about which the riot had its in
cipiency. The impelling spirit was a deep
rooted and greatly excited jealousy and hatred
of North Americans, which had by some de
signing influence been fed and inflamed, and
presumed too much on the cautious and pa
tient policy which has for so long a time char
acterized our international dealings. It needs
a prompt, vigorous and stern demonstration of
Amereican power and spirit to avenge these
outrages and prevent their repetition. Apolo
gies or pecuniary reparation extorted by di
plomacy will never reach the seat of the evil
—will fail to overawe the rabble and inspire
that respect for the American character which
is the only stable and trust-worthy guarantee
of safety to our citizens. Can any man doubt
what would have been the prompt course of
Great Britain or France, had their citizens
been thus ruthlessly shot down and cut to
pieces, and their property thus pillaged and
destroyed ? Tlie same arrival which informed
us of the outrage would also have told the tale
of British guns battering down the defences
and burning the property in the seapovts of
the offending State; and ample and speedy
would have been the indemnity extorted at
the mouth of the cannon and the point of the
bayonet. And are we never to realize that we
too are a “power on earth?”—that the Amer
ican Union has now grown too great and pow
erful to permit the petty states of the earth,
however backed and encouraged, to murder its
citizens in cold blood and rob and insult them
with impunity?
However tardy and cautious may be the
course of the Government at Washington, we
trust that some energetic and spirited Ameri
can commander has ere this, without instruc
tions or formal warrant, inflicted summary
punishment on the people and authorities of
Panama, raised the blockade of San Juan, and
re-opened the Transit route in Nicaragua. A
prompt and energetic proceeding like this, and
only such an one, can meet the emergency of
the case and at once obtain indemnity for the
past and security for the future.
The Panama Outrage.
The New York papers of the 710th ult, bring
us detailed accounts of the infamous outrages
upon American citizens and property at Pa
nama. They sustain all the horrible state
ments heretofore sent to us by way of New
Orleans,and sliowthat the extent of tho blood
shed aud violence was understated rather than
exaggerated by the New Orleans accounts.
There were some 1000 Americans at Pa
nama, most of them passengers by the
steamers Cortes aud Illinois. All the ac
counts agree that the police force ordered out
ostensibly to quell the riot took part with the
negroes aud aided in the butchery and rob
bery of the North Americans. Neither age
nor sex was spared. One woman and two
children were known to have been killed, and
several other ladies were wounded. The sav
ages tore the ear and finger rings, breastpins,
iS.e., from the ladies, and the purses, watches
and other valuables from the men. All the
trunks and other baggage were rifled, and in
fact everything esteemed of value was taken.
A potion of the passengers reported their
loss in money, clothing, jewelry, &c., at $41,-
!!HO, and this was not thought to cover half
the loss of all tho passengers. One account
says that fourteen dead bodies of Americans
were laid out next morning at the depot, an
; other says twenty-five, and both concur that
a number of the dead had not then been found.
A list ot those killed has not yet been made
out. The wounded were probably fully ns
numerous as the killed. The statements vary
as to the number of natives killed. One wri
ter thinks that only throe or four were killed,
| and another estimates the number at about
I forty, After the riot had been quelled, tlie
| native “police” force escorted to the gates of
the city such Americans as desired their ser
| vices, but charged from S' to per man
for so doing! Strong representations on the
subject have been sent to our Government.

At a largo and enthusiastic assembly iu
New Orleans, on the 28th ult., Hon. Pierre
Soule delivered an eloquent and stirring ad
dress in denunciation of thejjrutulity of the
Oosta Ricans and in favor of the interference
of our Government in behalf of the North
Americans in Central America. A strong de
monstration was made by all parties in sup.
port of liis views.

There is something inexpressibly sweet about
little girls. Lovely, pure, innocent, ingeuious
unsuspecting, full of kindness to brothers, ba
bies and everything. They are sweet little

become women, flirts, aud heartless coquette*!
—Augusta Const.
Protest ol Uolonpl Totten.
The following protest by Uol. G. M. Totten,
i Chief Engineer of the Panama Railroad Com
-1 pany, was forwarded on the 10th to his J.x
----\ cellency Don Francisco Fabrega, Governor of
the State:
engineer's Office, Panama Railroad, I
Panama, April AS, 1 Soli. J
j As your Lxcelleucy well knows, on the eve
ning of the loth instant, an attack was made
by aunrinrd mob of residents ot the city and
j suburbs of Panama, on a body of transit pas
> sengors, and on the property of the Panama
I Railroad Company.
The passengers were in number, inclu
! ding a large number of women and children,
! who came from New York by the steamer Illi
nois, and had just crossed the Isthmus by the
! railroad. They were waiting at the railroad
terminus at PI ay ft Prieta, for the tide to come
i in, and in the meantime they were engaged in
registering their tickets, receiving their lug
gage, and taking refreshments at the neigh
boring hotels and eating houses.
While in this situation they were attacked
by the armed mob as above stated.
It matters not at present whether the distur
bance originated with one party or the other,
it is sufficient that a disturbance existed aud
that, other means failing, it became the duty
of the authorities when called upon to exert
their influence to quell it.
Finding that the disturbance was becoming
serious, the officers of the Railroad and Steam
ship Companies, who were present, requested
tho interference of your Excellency and the
police.
Your Excellency and the police appeared
on the ground, but it seems that instead of
attempting to quiet the mob, the police im
mediately commenced firing on the Railroad
Depot and the passengers who had fled to it
for safety—thus taking part with the mob.
Your Excellency must have known that
most of the passengers were unarmed, and
that the depot was filled with helpless men,
women and children.
That some of the passengers attempted to
defend themselves, their wives and children ;
and that those w T lio had, or could procure arms,
fired upon the mob who were firing upon them,
was perfectly natural and right. But it ap
pears that they merely acted in self-defence,
and that they were restrained as much as
possible by the officers of the Railroad and
Steamship Companies, who, having no arms,
had not the power to defend themselves or
the property under their charge; yet it ap
pears, from indisputable evidence, that your
Excellency ordered the police to fire upon the
depot, that this order was obeyed, and, that
by this outrage many of the passengers were
killed and wounded.
While the police were firing upon the depot
and passengers on one side, the mob broke
into the depot on the other, where, in cold
blood, they murdered many of the defenceless
passengers, while on their knees supplicating
for mercy.
The mob then commenced despoiling the
depot of whatever it contained ; they robbed
the freight deposited there, the safes of the
Company, and the clothes and effects of the
officers who occupied the building. They al
so destroyed the books and papers of the Com
pany, and cut the telegraph wires.
After the mob had taken possession of the
depot, the police stopped firing upon it, and
entered it also, and there they witnessed the
pillage and destruction going on, without ma
king an effort to prevent it; and even, it is
said, assisting and sharing in the spoils.
During the whole continuance of the riot,
the mob Were engaged in robbing the in
dividual passengers—without distinction or
sex—depriving them of such baggage and ef
fects as they had with them, and their per
sons of such valuables as they had about them
—even taking the rings from the fingers and
ears of the females. This also was done in
the presence of your Excellency and the po
lice, without, an effort being made by yon to
prevent it.
1 was not present at the disgraceful trans
action. Tlie above statement is made from
the evidence of reliable persons who witnessed
it, and whose testimony I cannot doubt.
Your Excellency well knew the character of
the people composing that mob. 4 T ou knew
that the design was robbery—and robbery
through blood —and you permitted an indis
criminate massacre and pillage of defenceless
strangers, and helpless women and children,
which would have disgraced tho most savage
country on earth, and which it was your duty,
aud in your power to prevent.
Two days have passed since the committal
of these outrages, and 1 have yet to learn
whether your Excellency lias taken any steps
to arrrest those who were engaged in them,
or propose any.
Wherefore, iu the name of the Panama
Railroad Company, whose agent I am, 1 do
hereby solemnly protest against the outrages
committed by tho mob, composed of the citi
zens of Panama and its vicinity, on the eve
ning of the loth instant.
I protest against the masacre and pillage
committed ou tlie persons and effects of the
passengers.
1 protest against the attack and pillage
commenced by the mob and police on the
buildings and property of tlie Panama Rail
road Company.
And, 1 protest against the conduct of your
Excellency,the Governor of the State]of Pana
ma, iu ordering the police to fire upon the
Railroad Depot, and the passengers contained
therein; in not taking measures to avert the
riot, and in not affording protection to tlie
lives and effects of the passengers, and the
property of the Panama Railroad Company.
And 1 do hereby give notice to your Excel
lency, that this government will be held re
sponsible for tlie murders and outrages com
mitted on tlie evening of the loth, on the per
son* of the passengers, and for tlie robberies
aud damages committed on their effects, and
on tho property of the Panama Railroad Com
pfttt.v. Very respectfully,
G. M. Totten.

Congressional.
Washington, April 30.
In the Senate, ou motion of Mr. Sumner, a
resolution was adopted, directing the Commit
tee on I iuauce to consider the expediency of
legislating that all articles of foreign manufac
ture, obtained exclusively from submerged or
derelict wrecks, whether in our own or foreign
waters, be admitted free of duty.
in the House, Mr. Washburue, of Illinois,
from the Committee on Commerce, reported a
bill establishing collection districts, designat
ing ports ot entry and delivery, and modifying
the revenue laws.
The Senate debated the action of the Naval
Hoard, until tlie hour of adjournment.
In the House the consideration of Mr. Wash*
burne s bill was postponed until the 2d Mon
day iu.tune. Mr. Herbert offered aresolntiou
which was adopted, instructing the Committee
on Foreign Ass airs to enquire if any, and what
further legislation is necessary to secure the
lives and property of American citizens pass
ing the Isthmus of Panama.
Tlie Indian Appropriation Hill was taken up
in Committee.
Mr. Ruflington and Mr. Meachaui made
speeches in favor of the admission of Kansas.
A hill was reported to the House without
being read, or one word being said relative to
it, and while it was pending inCominittee, the
House adjourned.
“The Dead of our Cabinet.”
The lecture of Hou. Mr. Tyler, last Thurs
day evening, was an eloquent and impressive
tribute to some of the greatest names of Amer
ica. Mr. Tyler began with the accomplished
Hugh Swinton Legate, of South Carolina,
who occupied tho post of Attorney General
in his Cabinet, and who died white holding
that post. To the versatility of his talents, the
accuracy and range of his information on all
subjects of law, common and civil, municipal,
constitutional and international, he rendered
the highest praise; and as an evidence ol’ the
justice of the estimate he pheed on his char
acter, he remarked that no deliberate opin
ion of liis was ever controverted or questioned
by the supreme judicial tribunal of the land.
Mr. L. died in Boston, whither he had gone
to participate with Mr. Tyler in the famous
Bunker Hill celebration of 184 fl. The lectur
er next gave an analysis of the character of
those distinguished sons of Virginia, Gilmer
and Upshur—the former Secretary of the
Navy, the latter occupying successively the
chair of chief of the Navy and State Depart
ments. He concluded his remarks on this
head with a vivid description of the melan
choly catastrophe of the Princeton, by which,
ou the 28th of February, 1844, they both
were snatched in an iusant from the sphere of
life, usefulnes and honor.
Mr. Tyler then paused a minute to lay his
meed of praise on the tombs of those two
“representative men” of our time, Calhoun
and Webster, over whose remains it must
have been a grateful, though melancholy task,
“<S ’pargere roxas, spargere brerves fioe.es.”
He concluded by a brief allusion to some
members of Itis cabinet who still live, and
whose services and talents deserve mention in
an address devoted to their companions, and
closed with an eloquent allusion to the rapid
ly approaching day when they and he shall
follow the departed in the dusty way of death,
and their fellow countrymen shall say, are et
rale! to them all.— Southside Democrat.
The Price of Two Potatoes in 1805.
The following anecdote of the first Napo
leon—this necessity of discriminating between
the two Napoleons is a little inconvenient is
related in a letter from a correspondent, who
was a considerable time in tho French military
service, and who vouches lor its authenticity.
We might say of it, “Se non e vero e bon fro
vato.
“ The evening before the battle of Ulm,
when Napoleon the First, in company with
Marshal Bevthier, was walking incognito
through the camp and listening to the talk of
his soldiers, he saw in a group not far off’ a
grenadier of the guard who was roasting some
potatoes in the ashes.
“1 should like a roast potato above all
things,” said the Emperortothe Marshal; “ask
the owner of them if he will sell one.” In
obdience to the order, Berthier advanced to the
group and asked to whom thepotatoes belong
ed. A grenadier stepped forward and said,
“They are mine.”
“ Will you sell me one ?”
“I have only five, and that’s hardly enough
for my supper.”
“ i will give you two Napoleons if you will
sell me one.”
“ 1 don,t want your gold ; 1 shall be killed,
perhaps, to-morrow, and I don’t want the ene
my to find me with an empty stomach.”
Berthier reported the soldier’s answer to the
Emperor, who was standing a little in the back
ground.
Lets see it I shall be luckier than you,”
said the latter, and goingup close to the gren
adier, he asked him it lie would sell him a po
tato.
Not by a long shot, answered the grena
dier, “i haven’t enough for myself.”
“But you may set your own price. Come
1 am hungry, and haven’t eaten to-day.”
“ 1 tell you I haven’t enough for myself—
besides all that, do you think 1 don’t know you
in spite ot your disguise ?”
“ Who ami then?”
“J* 0 ! 1 - , T , h , e little corporal, as they call him;
am 1 right ?” J ’
“! * ‘ nCe yOU know ,)le ’ will you sell me
“No, but if you would havemecomeanddine
Wl 1 U u “ lcu we get back to Paris, you may
sup with me to-night.” J *
“Done!” said Napoleon, “On the word of
a little corporal; outlie word of an Emperor.”
4V ell and good. Our potatoes ought to be
done by Hus time : there are the two largest
ones, the rest I’ll eat myself.”
“ The Emperor sat down and ate his pota
oes, aud then returned with Berthier to his
ten , merely remarking, “the rogue is a good
soldier, I’ll wager.” s
Two mouths afterwards Napoleon the Great
r;; i ‘ he ' n^ t . of 11 court at the pal
ace ot the 1 uilleries, and was just sitting down
to dine, when word was brought him that a
m,ar a i^H WftS t Wlth ° U . t ’ to force the
guard at the door, saying that he had been iu
v.ted by the Emperor. “ Let him come in,”
said his majesty. The soldier entered, pre
sented arms, and said to the Emperor •
“Do you remember once havingsupped with
me off my roast potatoes ?”
- that you? Ves, yes, [ remember,”
said the Emperor; “and so you have come io
dme with me, have you ? Rustau, lay anoth
er cover on your table for this brave fellow.”
Again the grenadier presented arms, and said:
witi ) g [ eiladie )\ o 1 tij ° Guards does not eat
T.'„ ‘ majesty told mo I should
. .. 1 y° u tb, 'it was the bargain, and
Busting to your word, I have come hither.”
True, true, said the Emperor, “lay a cov
er here near me; lay aside your arms, man ami,
and draw up to the table.”
Dinner over the grenadier went, athis usual
pace, took up his carbine, and turning to the
Emperor, presented arms and said :
“ A mere private ought not to dine at the
tabu* of liis Emperor.”
“Ah ! I understand you, said Napoleon.—
I name you Chevalierof tho Legion of Honor,
and Lieutenant in my company of Guards.”
1 hank you heartily. Vice VEmpermr!”
answered the soldier, and withdrew.

A correspondent of the London Literary
Gazette, alluding to the numerous cases ofdeath
from accidental poisoning, adds: “I venture
to affirm there is scarce even a cottage in this
country that does not contain an invaluable cer
tain immediate remedy for such events; noth
ing mure than a dessert spoonful of mustard
mixed in a tumbler of warm water and drank
immediately. It acts as an emetic, is always

ease where one is required ”
