COLUMBUS: LAI!'M.ST CITY CIBOUI4TIOI. Mott tiny Morning, Jnnt 16, 1867> Quit*’ a revival is in progress in Au gusta .1 the Factory Sunday School Room, which we learn from the Dispatch, is increasing in interest. Twenty united with the Church Thursday night, and a largo number have professed conversion. Religious Revival. We learn from the Plaindealer that the religious revival which has bocu progress ing in Lumpkin, Da., for several weeks, was brought to a close on Sunday the 7th instant, and resulted in adding to all the churches 171 members to wit —to the Methodist 124, to the Raptist 41, and to the Presbyterian (i. The Hon. Robert Toombs, who has for some time been absent in the State of Texas, passed through Atlnnta en route for his home in Wilkes county, on Thurs day last. The Examiner says he received a severe injury in Texas by the running away of a horse he was driving ; but that he is rapidly recovering, and by the aid of crutches, is able to get about pretty well. In other respects Col. Toombs is reported to be in good health. The George Law arrived at New York on the 12th instant, with later dates from California and Centrul America. There was great excitement in California about the massacre of Col. Crabb and his party in Sonora. It is reported that Granada will not uccede to the demands of the United States. There is nothing new from Nicaragua. The revolution in Peru hns been suppressed, and the insurgent fleet has surrendered to the government. The Marietta (Ga.,) Democrat states that a portion of Cobb county was visit ed on the 6th instant, by a very severe wind and hail storm, doing great damage to the wheat crops over which it passed. The hail stones are represented to have been as large as guinea eggs. Mr. Simon JJetterman, a jeweller of Albuny, was drowned in the river near that place, while bathing, on the night of Saturday the 6th instant. The Chattanooga Advertiser of the 11th instant, says one of the grain deal ers of that place has stipulated to take six hundred barrels of flour, of the new crop, at six dollars per barrel. Our im pression is that his clear loss will be nil of six hundred dollars on the take. South Carolina College. We learn from the Columbia Times that the Board of Trustees of Hie South Carolina College, at their meeting on Thursday, pnssed resolutions entirely ex onerating President McCay, from all im putations agninst his clmrnctcr, and ex pressing their complete confidence in his honor and integrity. A resolution of similar import was passed in relation to the Professors. The same paper learns that the Board requested the immediate resignation of the President and nil of the Professors, with a view to prompt re-organization of the Faculty. Rail Hoad Progress. I'li (Mi ’ision oi tlie Georgia and Flor id .ul, from Amcricus to Albany, i’ iiig rapidly. The cars are now to Adams’, six miles below Smithvillc. It is now within sixteen and a hull’ miles of Albany, nnd (lie Pa triot says it will be opened to Wooten’s, ten nnd a half miles from Albany, by the 1 st of July. New Bhool Presbyterians and Blavery. The vexed question of slavery, the chief topic of discussion before the lute session of the New School Presbyterian General Assembly, at Cleaveland Ohio, terminated on the ltd instant, by a virtual separation of the Northern and Southern Synods. The Southern wing have issued an ad dress, setting forth the reasons which compel their separation from their North ern brethren, and in calm and moderate language, fixing the responsibility on their Northern brethren, where it proper ly belongs. They have also issued a call for a Presbyterian Convention of the New School, to meet in Washington, the 27th day of August next, for the purpose of consultation and of organizing a Gener al Assembly, in which, it will be distinct ly understood, the subject of slavery will not be introduced. The Selma (Ala.) Reporter says a tal low faced Dutchman, named C. F. T. King, who had been dismissed, as music teacher, from the Female Seminary of that place, left the city recently without bidding some of his creditors “good-bye,” among whom is the editor of that paper, to the extent of eighteen dollars, which he is requested to remit at his earliest convenience. The Sun being a pretty extensive rambler, we call his attention to it that he may give the particular case early attention. Hob anybody else but printers: they will most certainly over take the party silly enough to try the experiment. Wherever Mr. King goes all eyes will be upon him, and the uni versal say will be, “there goes the man that swindled the printer.” The Augusta papers have been shown n dispatch from Gen. Wni, Walker, dated Louisville, June Bth, addressed to Col. Rudler, now sojourning in Augusta, which states that on his return West from Wash ington, he will pass through Augusta some time between the 20th and 80th of this month. Os course he will stop and lot them take a look at the lion. It appears from the vote published in the Richmond South, that the election of Judge Hopkins in the 13th District of Virginia, recently put in doubt by tele graphic reports, is certain by nine ma jority. Hopkins was the Democralio can didate, and is elected over Martin, Amer loan. Arrival of the Canada. The steamship Canada arrived at. New York on the 11th instant, with advices from Liverpool to the 30th ult. The cot ton market had undergone no change af ter the sailing of the previous steamer, though prices for inferior grades, it is said, were barely sustained. The sales of the week foot up 40,000 bales, of which speculators took 2000 and exportors 5,000 bales. The quotations are, for Fair Or leans BJd; and Middling Orleans 7 13-1 fid. Fair Uplands 8d; Middling Uplands 7jjd. Stock of cotton in Liverpool 095,000 bales. , The market for Breadstuffs represented to he firm. Political News. In Parliament attention had been call ed to the increased slave trade with Cuba. Lord Palmerston said that no diplomatic effort would be spared to suppress it, and that representations would be made to the Court of Madrid on the subject. It was reported that the Rank of franco keeps up its stock of bullion by artificial purchases. The Bourse is firm, but pri vate accounts from Paris are discourag ing. The English Government generously offers another large ship of war to take the place of the Niagara in laying the Atlantic sub-marine cable. Lord l’almestou has officially announc ed the rejection of the Clarendon and Dallas treaty, and stated that new condi tions from Washington are under consid eration. The French Assembly has passed a law authorizing the establishment of three lines of trans-Atlantic steamers. The Rank of France bill has passed al most unanimously. Grand Jury Recommendations. We make the following extracts from the presentment of the second panel of the Grand Jury of Muscogee county : We feel indebted to the Ordinary, John Johnson, Esq., for his report and infor mation relative to the amount of the Poor School Fund, its disbursement, &c., dur ing the year last past. From him we learn that the whole number of poor children returned is 973 ; the number of days of teaching by all the teachers is 44,618, and the sum paid (5 cts. per day) Amounts to $2,230 90 Received from State Treasury.. $704 22 Received from Couuty Taxe5...2,280 S3 Balance on hand from May, ’66, 72 53 2,889 30 SOSB 40 Paid out on old Reports of 1853, 1854, and 1855 351 24 Paid agents for making out lists of poor children 41 40— 392 64 Leaving a balance on hand this day $205, 82 From the suggestions of the Ordinary we recommend that the sum of $2,200 be raised the present year for Poor School purposes. We also suggest (as wc deem the present law defective) that all appli cants for teaching poor children should submit to proper examinations as to their capabilities ‘or teaching; and also that tlie Ordinary be empowered to select a suitable person in each district to make out a list of all children entitled to the benefit of the Poor School Fund, and make an annual return thereof to the Ordinury. Also that the Ordinary be empowered to strike from said lists the names of all children whose parents are pecuniarily able to give them a suitable education. The very necessary and needful article of Corn is selling at Marianna, Florida, at $1.50 per bushel, and the Patriot says it will not be surprised to see it reach $2 before the Summer is out. The Patriot further says every article of provisions beur a proportional high price in Marian na. The citizens of the village have our sympathy; but as for the planters of tlie surrounding country, it would be well if they could be made to pay five dollars per bushel for Corn, and twenty-five cents per lb. for Bacon ; they might, then be induced so to direct their planting opera tions as not only to protect themselves from such drains aud suffering, pecunia rily, but those also, following other pur suits, who are dependant on the farmer for his table necessaries. What is it that is making the Cotton growing region so poor, while the grain growing and meat producing country of the West is grow ing mushroom like in opulence and wealth? ft is the practice pursued by our farmers for several years, of import ing provisions instead of producing them at home. The effect is to generate high prices, which act injuriously not only on the planting interest, but is the total ruin of the mechanic, merchant, and every species of industry not engaged in tilling the soil. Where is the mechanic or la boring man, in the towns or cities of the South, who is nble to lay aside any por tion of his earnings, or even able to make ends meet ? Echo answers, where ? He is not to be found. The consequence is, that many worthy families, whose head toils diligently day after day, at the end of each succeeding year find themselves not only with nothing to start the new year with, but offer with accumulated liabilities. This should not be so, and if we could control the agricultural in terests of the Cotton growing States, it would not be so. Our friends frequently congratulate us on our apparent prosperity, and say, “you are making money, are you not ?” Os course, such being the fact, we have to give an affirmative answer. But when we reply that although we are making money, that owing to the high cost of living we are barely keeping buckle and tongue together, many, and particularly our planting friends, seem much aston ished. Nevertheless it is a melancholy fact; and what is true of us is applicable to every branch of industry in our city, and of every city and town throughout the Cotton growing States. Men are toiling daily, and many, portions of the night, for just enough to supply them selves and families with the necessaries of life. W hereas, if old times could be revived—(we mean when farmers used to sell meat to the merchant to retail to his town customers, and farmers were never known to go to town for meat) —all trades would flourish, and the industrious would be able to lay up for investment a few hundred dollars every year. We have almost despaired of the re approach of those good old times. The Sickness at Tuskegee. We have good authority for saying | that a good deal of very fatal sickness has for sometime prevailed at Tuskegee, ! and that within the last week three young | ladies, pupils in the Methodist Female College, hare died—one from this city, one from Chambers, and the other from Conecuh county, Ala. So greatly had the pupils become alarmed, that the very excellent head of the institution suspend ed the school on Wednesday, that the pupils might return to their homes until i the panic subsided. The sickness pre vailing is said to be typhoid diarrhea, which seems to have followed the mea sles, which prevailed to a considerable extent in Tuskegee and vicinity the past Spring. The apology made in the Montgomery Mail, of Friday, for the sickness, upon the authority of a young physician, not a citizen of Macon county, is a very lame affair, and anything, according to our posting, but correct. He says the disease is simply measles. Now, if we are right ly informed, neither of the young ladies whose deaths are mentioned above, have had the measles this year. We do abomi nate attempts to misrepresent the nature of a malady existing in a community, es pecially when done to allay the fears of parents at distant homes, when the true facts are such as to induce the head of an institution in charge of a large num ber of pupils to suspend and send them to their friends. Dr. Lipscomb deserves much credit for his wisdom in the matter. We do not for a moment doubt but that measles was the origin of the malady which has proved so fatal to the inhabit ants of Tuskegee ; that it sowed the seeds by which the very atmosphere became unhealthy, and out of which the present sickness, outside of measles, has been generated. But it is no use to endeavor to mislead; the fatality is too palpable for successful deception. Tuskegee oc cupies a high and airy position, surround ed by no apparent generator of disease, and has always been very healthy till this Spring. Like all other places, it is liable to be overtaken by disease occasionally. When it does come, true wisdom will lead prudent parties, who can do so, to get out of its reach. Our advice to parents is to take their daughters home till fall, when we are sure they may return with safety. Our remarks may not please many friends in Tuskegee; we did not set out for that purpose. When they shall have time to reflect, they will award us the meed, at least, of true discretion. Highway Bobbery fine of the most daring outrages on record was brought to the notice of the Savannah Republican on Thursday last, by a reliable gentleman from Liberty county. It appears that Mr. Gill, of Lib erty county, went to Savannah last Wed nesday, and having transacted liis busi ness, was proceeding homeward in a small Jersey wagon by way of tlie Ogeechee road. When about nine miles from Sa vannah, it being night, he was met in the road by five or six negroes, with whom he exchanged salutations and was about to proceed, when he was ordered to stop. One of the band looking into tlie wagon descried a small hatchet, which he took possession of, remarking that it was the very article they had desired. They then deliberated whether they would take Mr. Gill’s life; whereupon the latter, being entirely defenseless, besought, them to spare him, which they eventually agreed to do, on condition that he would keep perfectly still and give no alarm. They then proceeded to rifle the wagon of its entire contents, consisting of a sack of flour, several gallons of molasses, a quan tity of calico, several articles of new ready-made clothing, besides other smal ler articles not recollected by our inform ant. Not content with this, they search ed his person and carried off the entire contents of his pockets, among which was a small amount of money—bet ween three and four dollars. Having thorough ly stripped their victim of every thing that could be put to tlieir own use, the villains made oft’ and letl him to pursue his journey homeward. It is hoped some effort will be made to ferret out and bring to merited punishment so daring a band of desperadoes. Two Women Yoked in a Plow. During last week a very unusual sight attracted the attention of the railway passengers while the trains were passing through Bisliopton of Moss. It was tha*t of two females yoked in a plow, which was guided by an ungallant male, who held the stilts. The only way of account ing for this eccentric proceeding is the suggestion that the land, which is newly reclaimed, is too light to admit of horses being employed. —Greenock (Scotland) Ad vertuer. Avery good sell: and many have swal lowed it as whole cloth, and added the caption. The Greenock Advertiser never said women once. The paragraph orig inally appeared with the caption—“ Two Females Yoked to a Plow,” and some American cotemporary who never saw a cow in harness, concluded it must mean women, and substituted women for “fe males” thus making it appear that the descendants of Wallace, Bruce &c., had retrograded so much as to actually have harnessed the gentler sex to the front of the Plow. Our respect for our Georgia cotemporaries, induces us not to mention who of them are in the “sell.” For the Daily Sun. A Nuisance. The North common, mar the City Ce metey, is frequently made the depository of dead carcases. These send forth a most offensive stench, greatly to the an noyance of those families who live in the North-east part of the City. But a .-hurt time ago, the City Physician called atten tion to this; but it Las been unb. i dcJ. The evil continues without any uDnte ment; and there is now an offensive car cass upon the ridge, which makes the air almost insupportable to those who live in that neighborhood. Will Ins boner the Mayor take the mat ter in hand, and see that we, who claim to be good citizens, have relief from this nuisance T w. GEN URAL ITEMS. To show what Pills can do, the New York Evening Post says that Dr. Brand reth, the great pill manufacturer has not only conceived the project of completing, at his own expense, the Washington Mon ument, but has deliberately resolved to devote the proceeds of liis business, amounting to $40,000 yearly, to the con summation of the work. Much attention is now paid to the hab its of parasites detected by the micros cope in the livers of animals on which we feed. Mary diseases are attributed to this origin. The Richmond Whig, of June 4th, ad vises the American party to disband, as it can never, the Whig says, effect any thing at all as a national party. The London Morning Star, of the 21st of May, says : “A letter from the Hague states that the Dutch government has de cided on sending a butch vessel of war into the China s*vts.” On Monday, 18th ult., the cotton arri vals at Liverpool, many vessels having been previously detained by unfavorable weather, reached eighty-eight thousand bales, the largest import for any day re corded. • The new tariff of Brazel goes into ef fect the first of July. The scale of du ties on American product was, generally speaking, higher. Flour was an excep tion, as the duty was reduced. Final judgment has been rendered at Kingston, Jamaica, in the case of the slaves captured near Cuba, the early part of April last; the slaves having been ap prenticed under terms of the British act of Parliament. On Friday, June 5, at Marion C. IL, S. C., Moses Harrelson, convicted of the murder of Rogers, suffered the penalty of death. An inscription upon one of the build ings in Cincinnati, on the occasion of the great railroad celebration was , “A loco motive is the only good motive for riding a man on a rail.” The Alabama Conference of the Metho dist Episcopal Church has unanimously voted in favor of expunging from the Dis cipline, the General Rule forbidding ‘-buy ing and selling men, women and children, with an intention to enslave them.” The extent of the corn scarcity in North Carolina may be inferred from the fact that the Wilmington and IVelden Railroad Company will, until the Ist of October next, transport over their road all corn and provisions intended for de livery on the line of the North Carolina railroad, West of the county of Johnston, at one-half the rates established by the present tariff of charges. The latest advices from Minnesota state that in the election for delegates to the Constitutional Convention held in that Territory, the Democrats were triumph ant, having elected thirty-five of their candidates, while the Republicans secur ed only eleven. Among the passengers on the Colum bia, which sailed from New Y’ork for Liv erpool on Saturday last, were the Inten dant of the Treasury of Costa Rica, and several other gentlemen from that State. Their visit, to England at this time has considerable significance. Probably the greatest leap on record was made at the St. Helena Shot-tower, Wis., some time ago. A horse, 12 years old, jumped from the bank over a per pendicular precipice of one hundred and eighty feet into the river below, and came out safe and sound, after swimming near ly halt a mile to a suitable landing place. The water at the point where the leap was made was from twenty to twenty-five feet deep. Hon. John-E. ‘Ward, of Savannah, will deliver the annual address at the ap proaching commencement of the Wesley an Female College, Macon, on the 15th of July. Gen. Walker says it was the press, and not the Costa Ricans, who defeated him in Nicaragua. A great sale of tobacco took place in Petersburg, Va., on Thursday last. The prices obtained were unusually high.— One hogshead brought $455, or $37.50 per 100 pounds, and others $333 ; more at $285.75, and the lowest at $135.70. The Convention of Southern Railroad men, recently assembled in Bristol, (on the line of the Virginia and Tennessee,) appointed the Hon. William Ballard Pres ton a commissioner to Europe, with a view of bringing about, if practicable, a direct trade between European ports and the Southern States—and Mr. Preston has accepted the appointment. A Chicago fanatic, speaking of the re cent collision between the State and fed eral authorities in Ohio, writes thus in his paper: “No attentive observer of the times can fail to see that the day draws near when liberty of slavery will have to back down. We go for State Rights, and are prepared for the worst. We stand for liberty and bid defiance to the Feder al power.” The Southern Central Agricultural As sociation met in Atlanta on Tuesday, and decided to hold their next fair in that city. It is also said that Atlanta has been fixed upon as the permanent loca tion. A writer in the South Carolinian re commends Gen. Gadsden as a suitable man to succeed Judge Butler in the U. S. Senate. The Tunnel on the Iron Mountain Rail Road, in Missouri, has just been comple ted. It is 800 feet loug, 18 feet wide, and 15 feet high. “Mr. C ,if you’ll get my pants done by Saturday night, I shall be forever in debted to you.” “If that's your game they’ll not be done, sure,” said the tailor. Mr. Benj. Mosley, sen., aged 76, and John Hudson, aged 63, both died in Put nam county on the stli inst. They were among the oldest, most useful and esti mable citizens of that city. The total number of persons who died of small pox in New York since the first of January is found to be 268. This shows a criminal neglect of vaccination, a sure preventive. It is stated that a case in Chancery has just been decided, by which a num ber of American citizens have been de clared the lawful heirs of a Mrs. Shard, who died in England in 1819. The amount involved is believed to be about $250,000, which for several years has been iuvested in British securities, await a final decision. Calhoun Superior Court. At the recent May term, Judge Allen presiding, the negro boys Alfred and Sam, belonging to Wm. S. Holt, were tried for the murder of their overseer, Mr. Walker, formerly of Houston county. Alfred was found guilty of murder, and sentenced to be hung on the 3d day of July next. The case against. Sam, for the same offence, was continued until the next term. —Macon Ciluen. Letter from Capt. Davis to Com. Mer v-ine—His Narrative of Walker’s Ca pitulation. U. S. Sloop St. Mabys, at Sea, 4 May 13, 1857. / Sik : At the latest dates of my dis patch, I had the honor to say that I was then waiting for a favorable movement when, by a timely and effective interpo sition of my good offices, I might hope to engage the attention of the contending parties, to bring their affairs to a peace ful issue. The information brought by Lieutenant McCorkle, who returned on the 29th ult., determined me to go to Rivas the next day. 1 reached General Mora’s camp on the afternoon of the 30th, accompanied by Dr. J. Winthrop Taylor, the surgeon of this ship, and by my coxswain, and an other of my gigsmen. After half an hour’s conference with General Mora, lex changed several notes with Gen. Walker, which are transmitted herewith, (copies of which have already appeared in the public prints,) numbered from 1 to 6. Three interviews took place between Gen. Henningsen and Col. Waters, rep resenting Gen. Walker, and myself, as sisted by Dr. Taylor. At the last of these, on the morning of the Ist, the agreement, a copy of which is numbered 7, received my own signature and the signature of the other gentlemen present, and having been returned to Rivas, was brought back by Col. Waters, signed by General Walker ; General Mora then ad dressed to me the communication marked No. 8. At four o’clock I entered Rivas, in company with Gen. Zaval and his staff, who attended Gen. Walker and his staff to San Juan del Sur, where the latter embarked on board the St. Marys. In Rivas, the American troops, about two hundred and forty in number, were drawn up in the plaza and the agreement was read to them in general orders, and they were transferred by Gen. Henning sen to my charge. Having no Lieuten ant with me, I requested Dr. Taylor to direct their movements and accompany them to Virgin Bay in the morning, which service, though entirely extra professional, he did me the favor to ac cept most cheerfully; and he executed it with perfect success. Gen. Canas having entered to take pos session, I turned over to him the plaza of Rivas by means of the note (the origi nal of which is in Spanish) numbered 9. After which Gen. Henningsen and my self went to San Juan. On the 2d inst., having exerted myself in vain to persuade Gen. Walker to place the schooner Granada in my keeping, I gave to Lieut. Maury, No. 10; finally, however, when the preparations for the forcible seizure of the schooner were completed, she was delivered up to the United States by the accompanying order No. 11. The duty of conducting the Americans from Virgin Bay through the province of Guanacasta to Punta Arenas, and thence by steamer to Panama, was assigned to Lieut. McCorkle by the accompanying order No. 12. ; On the evening of the 2d inst., I went to Virgin Bay, where I found most of the officers and men in good spirits, and be having exceedingly well. Lieut. McCor kle had already begun to regulate the supplies and divide the people into messes —the company organization being last. In this lie was ably assisted by several officers, whose amiable conduct under these difficult circumstances, commanded my respect and grateful acknowledg ments. The troops embarked for Tortu gas on the morning of the 4th inst. On the morning of the 3d instant, I crossed over to Rivas, where I visited the hospital, and the sick and wounded Americans in town. Your special atten tion will be invited to this subject in a separate communication. The accompanying letter from Gen. Mora, No. 13, was handed to me here. The schooner Granada or San Jose was transferred to the authorities of Nicara gua, by the accompanying letters num bered 14 and 15, the former of which ex plains concisely for this manner of pro ceeding. As soon as certain information was re ceived of the departure of Col. Lockridge from the San Juan, it became certain that Gen. Walker, now deprived of all possibility of receiving reinforcements, and rapidly consuming his horses and mules, must either succomb to the supe rior force of the enemy or try his fortune in a change of place. It was the opinion of those who had better means of judging than myself, that one month ago lie could have passed the enemies lines and main tained himself in the open country. Since that time, desertions had become so numerous and frequent, not only di minishing his army in numbers, but de moralising it in character, that toward the end of April, the only resort left Gen. Walker, was to cut his way down to the coast and take refuge, if possible, on board the schooner Granada. Here again, 1 am citing the opinion of his friends. According to the best intelligence, such an attempt would have terminated fatal ly in less than five miles from Rivas. The time had therefore arrived for de termining on the course to be pursued in the case anticipated in your first letter of instructions of January 19, that is, “in the event of tlie expulsion of Walker and his forces from Nicaragua, by the allied armies, and of his departure to adjacent territory in Central America, for the pur pose of hostile and aggressive opera tions.” When I considered that, under these circumstances, the Granada would be destitute of a legal commission from any recognised government, or from any par ty actually existing; that she was no longer acting under the authority of a sovereign State, or even of a distinct or separate government in such State—the party which had hitherto been deemed a belligerent nation, having lost its footing in the country ; and that, as I well knew, she would be under the necessity of pro curing, by violence, the indispensable means of subsistence, I could not bring myself to consent that the Granada, thus characterised, should pass from under my guns out upon the high seas. Ac cordingly, on leaving the ship for Rivas, on the 80th April, I handed Lieut. Maury the memoranda of instructions numbered 16, and in conference with Gen. llcn nigsen and Col. Waters, I made known to these gentlemen my decision. During all these transactions related in the report, my intercourse with General Mora, the commander-in-chief of the al lied armies, was intimate. * * (Here was a paragraph containing an extrava gant compliment to General Mora, which the Department being ashamed of, de sires suppressed.) I am very conscious that in these novel and unusual occurrences, I may have often to ask for my conduct the kind and candid construction of the Department. Feeling secure in the enjoyment of its favorable disposition, while engaged in the performance of my duty, 1 should not allude to it here, but that General Walker has indulged in imputations against myself, and the three senior Lieutenants of this ship, of conduct not only improper, but even base !—u n b c . coming our honor. Knowing whatever unwilling mistakes of judgment we may have committed that we have never wavered in our in tegrity, or relaxed in our zeal to serve our countrymen, we reflect with satist aL .. tion upon the defence alforded us by t| le friendship and protection of the Depart ment at all times, but never more than when we are absent on the public ser* vice. Very respectfully, your ob’t ser’t Chas. Hunky Davis, Commander Com. Win. Merviue, Commander-in chief of the U. S. Naval forces in the Pacific Ocean, Panama.
