OFFICIAL CORRESPONDENCE.
IN SENATE, Jan, 5, 1858.
The following Message was received from the
President of the United States:
i Washington, Jan. 4,1865.
In answer to the Senate's resolution of the 8d
instunt, calling for information relative to the pro-
Eosed tripartite convention on the subject of the
ilaud of Cuba, I transmit to the Senate a report
from the Secretary of State, and the papers which
accompanied it. Millard Fillmore.
The reporter selects for publication to-day such
of the correspondence as he deems most interest
ing, as follows:
Mr. Crumpton to Mr. Webster.
Washington, April 2C, 1852.
® ir: —I beg leave to enclose the copy of the des
patch uud of the project for a convention which
formed the subject of theconversation which Mon
sieur de Sartiges uud myselfhad the honor of hold
ing with you this morning.
The sautimeuU and opinions which you address
ed to us with so much frankness and precision in
regard to this matter, were so entirely in accord
ance with those entertained by het Majesty’s Go
vernment, and so well embody the principles
which have been laid down by the President of
the United States on several occasions, and more
especially in his last annual message to Congress,
thut it would be a great satisfaction to me to be en
abled to convey them to Lord Malmsbury in your
words.. If, therefore, you were to think it expe
dient, in acknowledging the receipt of my pitisent
communication, to make such a succinct statement
of them as you may deem proper, it would atford
me an opportunity of communicating your remarks
eonfidsniiulty to his lordship in a manner which
would, 1 am convinced, be extremely gratifying to
her Majesty’s Government.
John F. Crampton.
The Earl of Malmsbury to Mr. Crampton.
cr rnu Foubion Office. April 8, 1852.
®ir:—The attacks which have lately beeu made
on the Island of Cuba by lawless bands of adven
turers from the United States, with the avowed
intention of taking possession of that Island, have
engaged the serious attention of her Majesty’s Go
vernment; the more especially as they are most
anxious that the friendly relations existing be
tween Great Britain and the United States should
not be endangered, as they might be by a repeti
tion of such attacks. The Government of the Uni
ted States has repeatedly declared that it would
not see with indiflerence the Island of Cuba fall
into the possession of any other European Power,
than Spain. Hei Majesty’s Government shares in
the most unqualified manner in the views thus put
forth by the Government of the United Stateß, and
could never see with indiflerence the Island ot Cu
ba in the possession of any Power whatever but
Spain. The Government of France, with which
her Majesty’s Government have been in communi
cation on this important matter, cordially adopt
the same view, and concur with her Majesty’s Go
vernment in thinking that an effort ought to be
made, in concert with the Government of the Uni
ted States, to place this matter on such a footing
as shall preclude all hazard of collision between
either of the three Powers in the event of the ag
gression on Cuba being repeated.
The British Government can have no hesitation
in explicitly declaring that they have no wish or
intention to appropriate Cuba to themselves. The
! reach Government have signified to her Majesty’s
Government their entire concurrence in these sen
timents, and their readiness to make a formal de
claration to the aume eflect.
Tne Government of the United States, having
also at various times pronounced themselvos in
the same sense, and having, moreover, in these la
ter times, exerted themselves, so far as their legal
competence permitted, tp arrest and defeat the at
tempts.made by the United States citizens and oth
ers against the Island of Cuba, all these parties up
pear to be fully agreed to repudiate, each for itself,
all thoughts of appropriating Cuba, and it woulc
therefore seem as if all that remained to be done
now was to give practical effect to tho views enter
tained in common by the three Powers.
It appears to Her Majesty’s Government, and in
this view tho Government of Franco have express
ed their concurrence, that this result would be
best attained by the throe parties entering into a
tripartite arrangement, whether by convention or
by the interchange of formal notes, by which they
bind themselves severally and collective to re
nounce, both now and hereafter, all intention to
obtuin possession of the Island of Cuba, and to dis
countenance ail attempts to that effect on the part
of others.
I enclose herewith a project of such a convention
as Iler Majesty’s Government thinks will answer
tho purpose intcuded ; and I have to instruct you
to submit this project to the Government of the
United otntes tor its favorable consideration, ac
companying the proposul with such observations
and arguments as you may consider best suited to
conciliate the good will of that Government, and
to induce them to view with favor, the arrange
ment thus submitted to tliam.
You will read tnis desputch to the United States
Secretary of State, and leave a copy of it with
him. I am, &e.,
Malmsbury.
DRAFT OF CONVENTION.
Her Majesty, the Queen of the United Kingdom
of Great Britain and Ireland, the Prince President
of the French Republic, and the United States of
America, having judged it expedient, with a view
to strengthen the friendly relations which happily
subsist between them, to set forth and fix, by a
convention, their views and intentions with regard
to the Island of Cuba, have named as their re
spective Plenipotentiaries for this purpose, that is
to say:
Her Majesty, the Queen of the United Kingdom
of Great Britain ana Ireland, <fec., the Prince
President of the of the French Republic, &c.; and
the President of the United States of America, &c.;
who, after having communicated to each other
their respective full powers, found in good and duo
form, have agreed upon and concluded the follow
ing articles:
Art. 1. The high contracting parties hereby
severally and collectively disclaim, both now and
lor hereafter, all intention to obtain possession
of the Island of Cuba; and they respectively bind
themselves to discountenance all such attempts to
that effect on the part of any power or individual
■whatever* The high c ntracting parties declare,
severally and collectively, that they will not obtain
or maintain for themselves, or for any one ofthem
selves, any exclusive control over the said island,
nor assume nor exercise uDy dominion over the
same:
Akt. 2. The present convention shall be ratified,
and the ratification Bhali be exchanged at—— aa
Boon as possible, within months frem the
date hereof. '
In witness whereof, the respective Plenipotenti
aries have signed tho same, and have affixed there- 1
to the seals of their arms.
Done at Washington the day of in the
year of our Lord, 1853.
Mr- Webster to the Count de Sartiges.
Ddpartmxnt of State, [ <
Washington, April 29, 1852. )
Tbe undersigned has the honor to acknowledge
the receipt of M. de Sartiges’a note of the 23d inst., \
together with the copy of the instructions from M. ■
de Turgot, the French Minister of Foreign As- 1
faires, to M. de Sartiges, bearing date tho 81st
ultimo.
There is no doubt that M. do Turgot ha* justly
described the oouree of policy which has influenced
the Government ofthe United States heretofore in
regf.rd to the Island of Cuba. It has been stated
and often repeated to the Government of Spain by
this. Government, nuder the various Administra
tions, not only that the United States hate no de
sign upon Cuba themselves, but that if Spain could
refrain from a voluntary ce&sion of the Island to
anyi other European Power, she might rely upon
the countenance and friendship of ,the United
States to assist her in the defence and preservation
of that Island. At the same time it has alw ys
betb declared toSpain that the Government ofthe
United States could not be expected toaoqniesce in
tiie cession of Cuba to a European Power.
ia h W being able to say
that the present Executive of the United States
entirely approves of this past policy of the Gov
ernment, and fully concurs in the general senti
merits expressed by M. de Turgot, and understood
to be identified with those entertained by the Go
vernment of Great Britain. The President will
take M. do Sartiges’s communication into consid
eration, and give it his beat reflections. But the
undersigned deem* it his doty, at the same time,
to remind M. de Sartiges, and through him his
Government, that tin polity of that ofthe United
States has uniformly been to avoid, as far as pos
sible, alliance or agreements with other States,
and to keep itself free from national obligations,
except such as aflfeot direetly the interests of the
United States themselves. This sentiment has
been strongly felt and uniformly entertained in
the councils of thia Government from its earliest
history. How faf, therefore, it may be necessary
to make this case of Cuba an exception, and espe •
cially tow far any motive may be found for enter
ing into any treaty stipulations or exchange of of- i
fleial declarations, with the Governments of Franoe i
and Great Britain, in the existing state of things, i
upon the suhiect of M. de Sartigee’s oommunica- 1
tion, are questions which, as the undersigned has 1
already intimated, will be maturely considered. 1
The undersigned avails himself of this opportu
nity to renew to M. de Sartiges the assurance of
his high consideration.
Daniel Webster.
[Mr. Crampton again addresses Mr. Wehster,
tinder date of July Bth, on the subject of his note
of the SBd April, 1852, but there does not appear
in the documents any reply by Mr. Webster.]
Mr. Everett to Mr. Crampton, (a similar despatch
having been addressed to M. de Sartiges.)
Department of State, )
Washington, December 1, 1852, j
Sib: You are well acquainted with the melan
choly circumstances which have hitherto prevent
ed a reply to tbe note which yon addressed to in?
predecessor on the Bth of July. That note, and
the instruction of Lord Malmsbury of the Bth of
April, accompanying it, with a similar communi
cation from the French Minister, and the project
of a convention between the three Powers relativo
to Cuba, have been among the first subjects to
whioh my attention has been called by the Presi
dent.
The substantial portion of the proposed conven
tion is expressed in a single article, in tho follow
ing terms:
“ The high contracting parties hereby severally
and collectively disclaim, now und for hereafter,
all intention to ob’tin possession of the Island ot
Cuba, and they respectively bind themselves to
discountenance all attempts to that affect on the
Eart ot any Power or individuals whatever. The
igh contracting parties declare severally and col
lectively that they will not obtain or maintain for
themsefves, or for any one of themselves, any ex
clusive control over the said Island, nor assume
nor exercise any dominion over the same.”
The President has given the most serious atten
tion to this proposal, to the notes of the British
and French Ministers accompanying it, and to the
instructions of the Earl of Malmsbury and M. De
Turgot, transmitted with the project of the con
vention, and he direots me to make known to you
the view which he takes of this important and del
ioate subject. ✓
The President fully concurs with his predeces
sors, who have on more than one occasion au
thorized the declaration referred to by Lord
Malmsbury and M. DeTurgot, that the Uni
ted Suites could not see with indifference the
Island of Cuba, fall into the possession of any
other European Government than Spain ; not
however, because we should be dissatisfied wish
any natural increase of territory and power on the
part of England or France. France has within
twenty years acquired a vast domain on the north
ern coast of Africa with a fair profit of indefinite
extension. England within half a cennry has add
ed very extensively to her empire. Those acqui
sitions have created no uneasiness on the part of
the United States.
In like manner, the United States have within
the some period greatly increased their territory.
The largest addition was that of Louisiana, which
was purchased from France. These accessions of
territory have probably caused no uneasiness to
the great E uropenn Powers, as they have been
brought about by the operation of natural causes,
and without any disturbance of the international
relations of the principal States. They have been
followed also by a great increase ofmutuaily bene
ficial commercial intercourse between the United
States and Europe.
But the case would be {liffetent in reference to
the transfer of Cuba from Spain to any other Eu
ropean Power. That event could not take pluco
without a serious derangement of the internation
al system now existing, and it would indicate de
signs in reference to this hemisphere which could
not but awaken alarm in the United States. We
should view it in somewhat the same light in
which France and England would view the acqui
sition of some important island in the Mediterra
nean by the United States ; with this difference,
it ia true that the attempt of the United States
to establish themselves in Europe would be a
novelty, while the appearance of a European Pow
, er in this part of the world is a familiar fact. But
this ditl'erence in the two cuses is merely histori
cal, and would not diminish the anxiety which, on
political grounds, would be caused by any great
demonstration of European power in a new direc
tion in America. -
Lord Malmsbury states that Great Britain could
never see with indifference the possession of Cuba
by any Power but Spain, and explicitly declares
that she has no wish or intention of appropriating
the island to herself; and the French Minister
makes the same avowal on behalf of his Govern
ment. Lord Malmsbury and M. de Turgot do the
Government of the United States no more than
justice in remarking that they have often pro
nounced themselves substantially in the sumo
sense. The President does not covet the acqui
sition for the United States. At the same time he
considers the condition of Cuba as main Ivan Ameri
can question, and to a limited extent only a Euro
pean question. The proposed convention pro
ceeds on a different principle. It assumes that
the United States have no other or greater interest
in the question than England or France ; whereas
it is necessary only to cast one’s eye upon the map
to see how remote are the relations of Europe,
and how intimate those of the United States with
this island.
The President, doing full justice to the friendly
spirit in which his concurrence is invited byEngland
and France, and not insensible to the advantages
of a good understanding between the three Powers
in reference to Cuba, feels himself nevertheless
unable to become a party to the proposed com
pact, for the following reasons: It is, in the first
place, in his judgment, clear (as far as the respect
due from the Executive to a co-ordinate branch ot
the Government will permit him to anticipate its
decision) that no such convention would be viewed
with favor by the Senate. Its certain rejection by
that body would leave the question of Cuba in a
more unsettled position than it is now. This, ob
jection would not require the President to with
hold liis concurrence from the convention if no
other objection existed, and if a strong sense of
the utility of the measure rendered it his duty, as
far ns the executive action is concerned, to give
his consent to the arrangement. Such, however,
is not the case. The convention would be of no
value unless it were lasting. Accordingly, its
terms express a perpetuity of purpose and obliga
tion. Now, it may well be doubted whether the
Constitution of tho United States would allow the
treaty making power to impose a permanent disa
bility on the American Government, for all com
ingtime, and prevent it, under any future change
of circumstances, from doing what has been so
often done in times past. In 1803 the United
States purchased Louisiana of France, and in 1819
they purchased Florida of Spain. It is not within
the competence of the treaty-making power, in
1852, effectually to bind the Government in all its
branches, and for all coming time, not to make a
similar purchase of Cuba. A like remark, I im
agine, may bo made even in reference both tc
England and France, where the treaty-making
power is less subject than it is with us to the con
trol of other branches of the Government.
There is another strong objection to the propos
ed agreement. Among the oldest traditions of the
Federal Government is an aversion to political
alliances with European Powers. In his memora
ble farewell address, President Washington says;
“Thogreat rule of conduct for us in regard* to
foreign nations is, in extending our commercial re
lations, to have with them us little political con
nexion as possible. So far as we Have already
formed engagements, let them be fulfilled with
perfect good laith. Here let us stop.”
President Jefferson, in his inaugural address in
1801, warned the country against “entangling al
liances.” This expression, now become prover
bial, was unquestionably used by Mr. Jefferson in
reference to the alliance with France in 1778—an
alliance at the time of incalculable benefit to the
United States, but which, in less than twenty
years, came near involving us in the wars of the
french revolution, and laid the foundation of
heavy claims upon Congress, not extinguished to
the present day. It is a significant coincidence
that the particular provision of the alliance which
occasioned these evils was that under which
France called upon us to aid her in defending her
West Indian possessions against England.'’ No
thing less than the unbounded influence of Wash
ington rescued the Union from the perils of that
crisis, and preserved our neutrality.

Serious Afvrats. —A fatal affray took place in
this city on Saturday night la&t between Jacob
Gregory, Samuel Jackson, and Whatley,
which resulted in the death of the latter. A Cor
oner's Inquest was held over the body of the de
ceased on Sunday and a verdict rendered to the
effect that he came to his death by a stab with a
knife in the hands of Gregory. The murderers
were arrested and brought before Justices Harris
and Arrington on Monday and were acquitted.—
Not having heard the testimony we have no opinion
to express in relation to the judgment ofthe Court,
other than that it was decided unsatisfactory to
thocommnnity generally, and especially so to many
who heard the entire investigation. Judge Ar
rington asks a suspension of public opinion until he
can be heard in defence of the judgment of the
Court, which will he given in our next.
Another serious affray took place at Lanier on
Monday last, between Samuel Hobbs, and Charles
McCuliera, iu which the former received three dan
gerous, if not mortal stabs with a knife in the
hands of MoCulleds. We are informed that there
ia but little hopes of Hobb’s recovery.
Both of these affrays were instigated by whisky.
One, if not both quarrels originated in agr oggery
—those pestiferious sinks of iniquity that breed
pauperism, vagabondism, and crime by the whole

Philadelphia Houses.
We take great pleasare in calling the Attention
of Southern Merchants and Dealers to the Cards
of a number of leading Philadelphia Houses, which
wo publish to-day. Many of them are Houses of
long standing and well established reputations
for high integrity and business capacity, and wo
should be pleased to see them share liberally in
the Southern trade. That city is making a strong
effort to establish a more intimate commercial in
tercourse with the South, and wo hope it may
prove mutually beneficial. All they ask of South
ern Merchants is to call and examine their stocks,
and this can be easily done. Give them a trial.
The Tripartite Treaty.
On Tuesday last, President Fillmore responded
to the resolution of the Senate calling for the cor
respondence between the representatives of En
gland and France, and this Government, relative
to the proposed treaty to guarantee Spain in the
perpetual posßessiou of the Island of Cuba. The
most important and interesting portion of this
correspondence, appears in the National Intelligen
cer, which wo copy and commend to the careful
perusai of every American who feels an interest in
this question. The despatch of Mr. Everett is
marked by signal ability, and assumes the true
American ground on this grave and important
subject.
The Charleston Mercury, in a notico of tlio cor
respondence, with equal truth and justice, remarks ;
“ The result of this correspondence was made
kuown in the President’s Message. The proposi
tion was declined, for reasons which Mr. Everett
has elaborated with great skill and ability. Even
the Washington Union commends the paper as a
clear and conclusive vindication ot' the proper
position of the United States on the q uestiou. It
is, to our mind, one of the most complete and
effective state papers that has ever issued from the
Department.
The refhsal to unite with England and France in
the proposed guaranty, is based upon the ground,
1, that such a treaty would almost certainly be re
jected by the Senate ; 2, because its proposed con
dition of perpetuity could not be expected to con
trol the future decisions, under new exigencies, of
of any of the contracting, powers; 3, that the
question was, in a remarkable degree, American,
interesting the United States in a very different
manner and degree from the other parties; 4, that
the latter could not expecttoacquireCuba withouta
serious change in established relations, while to
the United States its acquisition at some time might
very well happen, in the ordinary course of events
on this continent, without endangering any existing
relations, and with the concurrence and advantage
of Snain, Cuba, and all nations.
“The force with which Mr. Everett sets forth 1
this Cuba question as essentially American, \
and bis exhibition of the benefits which have
hitherto followed to the civilized world from
the peaceful enlargement of our territory, are 1
very striking and effective passages. ’ 1
“The position of the Government in regard to
the transfer of Cuba to any other European power,
is plainly maintained ; and at the same time all the -
guaranties are given that could be icasonublv ask
ed for, of the favorable disposition of the United ‘
States towards Spain, and the continuance of her t
peaceable possession of the Island.
“We had expected that whatever Mr. Everett !
undertook would be well and gracefully done ; but
in the comprehensiveness, completeness and force >
of this paper, he has gained a new claim to our f
respect, and in the ability of his argument has id- <
most made us forget the engaging form in which
it is clothed.
“It is to be hoped that this correspondence will
do good. It Oxes the position of the United States
towards Cuba, as at once peaceful end independent,
and leaves tlio future open to all the hopes of such
us believe in progress and advancement, untainted
by open wrong or covert indirection.”
-The Washington Union commends the course of
the Administration, thus :
“The question of the acceptance or rejection by
our Government of the proposed convention wan
plainly not a partisan, but an American question.
It wus a question, moreover, all the strong points
of which wereirresistably in favor of the decision
which our government has pronounced upon it;
and we recognise without hesitation, and commend
to the attention of our readers the eminent ability
with which Mr. Everett has brought them to bear.
As an argument against the proposed measure, and
as a vindication of the policy of onr government
in rejecting it, his despatch is altogether conclusive
and unanswerable.”
The Dear aud Dumb.
We take great pleasure iu calling the attention
of the public to the following card of Mr. Camp
bell, and sincerely hope it may accomplish all he
desires. . Certainly no or.e, in whoso bosom burns
a singlo spark of philanthropy, alter seeing this,
will fail to communicate its contents to any mute
who may be in his vicinity. We think, however,
Mr. Campbell would have accomplished his object
much more effectually if he had had printed a few
thousand circulars, in the form of hand bills, con
taining all the necessary information in reference
to the admission of mutes, and have addressed
one to each Post Ma'ter iu the State, with the re
quest that they would post them up in some con
spicuous place at their respective dikes. This
plan would carry the information into every neigh
borhood in the State, and certainly reach every
mute within its bounds ; because there are thou
sands of people who would there see and read it
to whom it would never bo known through the
newspapers of the < ay :
1 . Help Greatly Needed.— The number of pupils
1 in the Asylum for the Deaf and Dumb is compa
ratively small, because the friends of humanity in
’ the State fef'so little interest in behalf of this un
' fortunate class. To many of them, it i 3 in vain
that the State has prepared an Asylum and fur
nished it with teachers, at great expense. They
know not of its advantages and never will reap
them, unless the public mind can be aroused from
the apathy which exists upon thissubject. Though
the institution, iu its various appointments, is all
the people of Georgia could desire it to be, it is
believed there are at least onv hundred dea f mutex,
scattered throughout the different comities, be
tween the ages of ten and thirty, groping their
way iu darkness—mental and spiritual darkness—
because no friendly hand is, reached out to con
duct them to it. The writer, for a few months
past, has addressed friends on this subject) in
most parts of the State. In some instances, these
letters have not been answered. What shall be
done? "Will not some intelligent gentlemen or
lady, in each county, look after the deaf and dumb
within their reach—inform thorn of the advantages
held out to them by our Asylum, and induce their
parents to seud them ? It would afTord me great
pleasuro to give all necessary information to* any
who may desire it. In the efforts, which I am
thus voluntarily making, for the benefit of this un
fortunate class, help is greatly needed. Indeed, I
cannot hope to succeed unless help is afforded.
Die next term of the Asylum will commence
about the first of February next. - The writer calls
earnestly upon the humane citizens of his native
State, trom seaboard to the mountains, to act
promptly with reference to this matter. And he
once more pledges himselfto convey to the insti
tution any who may be placed under his care, or
to see that it is done by safe hand.

We think there must be some mistake or mis
understanding in this matter. Mr. Conner is too
well acquainted with the requirements of commer
cial intercourse, the laws regulating common car
riers and his own duties, to permit such a state of
things to exist under his management. He knows
it is his duty, as well as the interest of the Com
pany over which he presides, to settle such deficits
promptly, and then institute an examination to see
where the loss has occurred, and we think he will
do it, whenever tho facts are properly brought to
his knowledge. If he does not, wo have formed
a wrong estimate of the man and his business ca
pacities.
Captain Shaw, of the Brig Alcemus, who arrived
at Savannah on tho 7th instant, from Fall River,
states that on the 2d inst., at 1 o’clock. I*. M., Cape
Lookout Lighthouse bearing North West by North,
distance twelve miles, lie passed a hermaphrodite
brig laying on her larboard side, both masts un
stopped, flying jib hanging in the water, with tack
of same hanging to the boom, the starboard anchor
on tho bow. The brig was painted black, with a
yellow square bouse on deck. Could see the word
Belfast on the stern. A green bottomed boat with
painter made fast to main chains was lying by her
side. Captain Shaw supposed that the brig could
not have been in that situation long. lie could
see no person in or around the vessel and did not
attempt to board her, as the wind w r as blowing
fresh at the time.
Much excitement is said to have existed in the
New Hampshire Legislature on Wednesday, in
consequence of the appointment of a Committee
to investigate a charge against Jas. 11. Butler, a
Judge in Rockingham county, of having attempted
to bribe Mr. Freeze, a member of the railroad Com
mittee, to vote for the union of the New Hamp
shire, Central, Concord, and Claremont railroads.
One hundred dollars are said to have been offered.
Judge Butler has sent a communication to tlio

which was in session. The Hon. Ira Perley and
Mr. N. B. Bankers appear as counsel for him, and
Messrs. Cushing and Pike wero appointed by the

Mr. John 11. Smith, of Brooklyn, has invented a
reaping machine, which certainly seems to be the
simplest yet brought before the public. The in
ventor has just taken out his patent. The machine
is very compact and light. Four scythes with
three cradle frames are fastened to the rim of a
drum or cylinder, having a vertical or rotary mo
tion. The drum for a medium size muChiue is to
be six feet in diameter. The scythes are so arranged
that every revolution of the cylinder simultan
eously with the stroke cuts and lodges the grain iu
a stan.ling gavel inside the cylinder or drum,
whence those who hold the machine can conveni
ently bind and dispose of the bundles of grain.
This mode of gathering the grain wholly dispenses
with raking. Tlio grain is cut by the same kind of
stroke as is made with a hand cradle. It is in
fact the old modo of hand cradling worked by ma
chinery and worked bv horse-power. The machine
can be worked by one horse and cut twenty-five
acres of grain in a day. *
How to Keep Poor. —Buy two glasses of ale
every day, at five cents each, amounting in one
your to $36.50 ; smoke three cigars, one after each
meal, counting up in the course of the year to
$54.75; keep a big dog, which will consume in a
year at least sls worth of provision, and a cat $5
more. Altogether this amounts to the snug little
sum of $110.25 —sufficient to boy six barrels of
flour, one hundred bushels of coal, one barrel of
sugar, one sack of coffee, a good coat, a respectable
dress, besides a frock for the baby, and a half a
dozen pairs of shoes—more or less. Just think of
; it!.

Accident to Gen. Fierce and Family.
W e gather from the New York papers some ad
ditional particulars of the railroad accident bv
which General Pierce and wife were injured and
their son killed. ’
The train was composed of a baggago and pas
senger ear only. The exact cause of the accident
is not definitely ascertained; one of the axle trees
is supposed to have broken; some say it was the
journal on which the wheel plays. The day was
| JLIU3 u»v WU.S
very cold—the thermometer pointed at zero—and
the accident was doubtless owing to the frost in
the iron works of the ill fated car.
Mrs Pierce and the deceased son had been ab
sent four weeks on a visit to relatives in Boston
anu Andover. The accident happened near the
latter place. General Pierce went to Boston on
Tuesday momme, and with them attended trio
funeral of Mrs. Pierce’s uncle, ilon. Amos Law
rence, on the s: me afternoon. They remained at
Mr. Aiken’s, in Andover, whose lady is a sister of
Mrs. Pierce, and were expecting to return in the
evening.
The train in which they went left Boston at
noon on Thursday, and the accident happened
just alter it left the Andover depot, twenty miles
from Boston, at about one. They had not been in
the cars five minutes.
Gen. Pierce, after the accident, appeared com
posed. but Mrs. Pierce was taken away in a very
high state ot mental anguish. Her screams were
agonizing. The little boy was their only child,
an elder brother having died some ten years ago.
At the time ot' the accident,Gen. Pierce was con
versing with Mr. Young, the superintendent of
the new Mills at Lawrence. Professor Packard, a
relative of (feu. Pierce, was in company with Mrs.
Pierce and her son, and the party occupied the
forward part of the ear, which was divided in the
middle. They were all thrown into a heap, one
over another. Master Pierco lay upon the floor of
the car, with his skull frightfully fractured. The
cap which he had worn had fallen off, and was
tilled with his blood and brains.
A little girl of Mr. Newall, of Hillsborough had
her foot crushed, and it must be amputated. Mrs.
Newall was badly injured, and Mr. Newall had a
leg broken. Mr. Horace Childs, bridge builder, of
lienuiker, was badly but not. seriously bruised.—
Several women were severely bruised.
The car is said to have broken near the middle.
The baggage ear in front was not thrown of!'. A
brakeman stood on the end ofitand witnessed the
accident unharmed.
A dispatch, dated Concord, Thursday evening,
says:
Considerable apprehension is tclt hero lest this
melancholy fatality may prove serious in its con
sequences to Mrs. Pierce. She has been for sever
al years in delicate health caused partly by the loss
of her first child. The boy killed by this accident
was almost idolized by his mother and father.
The announcement of the accident, at 4 o’clock,
caused great excitement in the House. A member
came in and said that Gen. Pierce himso f was
dead. The floor and galleries wore crowded—the
charge of bribery against Judge Butler being un
der consideration. The Governor, Council, and
most of the Senators were present. Instantly
every member was on his feet, and exclamations of
regret were heard from every one.
The veteran lehabod Bartlett, of Portsmouth,
the oldest member—a political opponent, but
strong personal friend of General Pierce—was ob
served to weep like a child. Others were much
affected.
The House adjourned instantly, and the mem
bers rushed to tfie hotel and telegraph office, and
the most intense anxiety to obtain particulars has
prevailed ever since. " •
The little boy was a great favorite with our
town people. He was agreeable, kind, and gener
ous, and much beloved bv his playmates. When
asked, the other day, “Well, Benny, how do you
expect to like living at tiie White House?” lie
replied, “ I don’t know about going there to
live at all. I would ratlier go out to live on a
farm.”
Boston, Jan. 7. —Gen. Pierce and lady are now
staying at the House of John Aiken at Andover.
Neither of them have received much physical in
jury, but Mrs. I*, i s prostrated with grief at the
loss of her son.
Mr. Newell, of Cambridge, one of the passen
gers is injured beyond the possibility of recovery.
Boston, Jan. 7. —Gen. Pierco and his lady arc
stili at Andover, sutl'ering slightly from their in
juries, and overwhelmed with grief at the loss of
their only child. The funeral will take place at
Concord to morrow.
Caloric Ship Ericsson.— The New York Courier
of Thursday says :
1 The caloric ship Ericsson returned from her cn
i gincer’s trial trip down the bay, and came to an
chor off the Battery at 2P. M. yesterday. She lelt
Willliamsburgh between nine and ten o’clock ou
Tuesday morning, nnd passing the flag-staff, Go
vernor’s Island, at 7 o’clock and 56 minutes, was
abreast of Fort Diamond at 10 o’clock, 20 minutes,
, a«d 30 seconds, making 7% miles in minutes
with the tide. She rounded to below Spitliead
buoy at 11 o’clock and 21 minutes, and came to
anchor in the lower bay, in a heavy snow squall,
where she remained until yesterday forenoon, when
she weighed anchor and retnrned. In consoqucuce
of some of the valves or rivets not being perfectly
air tight, the full power of the machinery wa3 not
tested.
The Tribune concludes its notice of the trip
with the following remarks :
On her way down and returning, the engine was
not stopped or the speed slackened. Some altera
tions and improvements are yet to be made in her
engines, and the engineers will make several ex- ,
eursions for the purpose of testing her qualities
thoroughly before she proceeds on her grand trial ;
trip to Philadelphia, Baltimore and Charleston. (
The speed attained ou this trip has far exceeded <
the anticipations of those interested, and also that ]
claimed by the inventor Capt. Ericsson. During
yesterday and the day before, after it was known
that the Ericsson had finally proceeded down the
bay, there was much curiosity manifested through
out this and the adjoining cities, to learn the final
result of the experiment. Thousands of persons
visited the Battery on Tuesday afternoon, for the
purpose of getting a glimpse of the modern flying ,
Dutchman, propelled not by wind, nor by steam,
but by the perfectly Invisible power of hot-air. j
Yesterday afternoon she was the cynosure of count
less eyes, as she rode at anchor off Castle Garden. t

lie did not piaoo such a construction on the
treaty. It appeared that both Messrs. Clayton u.d
Bulwer did not understand “ Central America’’-
maaning “ Central America” but a part of it onlv
When he voted for tho treaty ho had ndZ
slightest doubt but that it included all Cental
America, and he voted for it bccauao he thought
b;, so doing, he would be sweeping Great Britain
from the shores of Central America.
Mr. Clayton statea to Mr. Bulwer, that Col
King, the chairman of the committee on forehra
relations, told him that “the Senate perfectly im
derstood that the treaty did not iuolude Britux
Honduras.” He (Mr. Cass) had called on CoL
King this morning, and was told that Mr. Clayton
had made a great mistake. So far from statin*
any such thing, he told Mr. Clayton, when be in
formed him, that if the treaty had been returned
With this quasi ratification, that it would uot
ceive a vote in the Senate, and that ha farther
advised Mr. Clayton to dismiss the qualification
submitted by Mr. Bulwer, and till now buduomA
he had done so. l
The Senate took up the bill for the relief of the
burs of Wm. Roily, deceased, late a captain in
