The Season.
Summer has passed with its dust and heat and
we are fast bordering on to old winter. The sighing
wind no longer produces a grateful, cooling sensa
tion, but is invigorating and will soon become
chilling in its effects. These are the saddest days
of the year. The sun hides itself beneath hazy
clouds —the trees are loosing leaf by leaf thoir
graceful foliage and all nature is being robbed of its
holiday aypearance.
While the winter is looked forward to with vis
ions of gayety and cosy, comfortable fireside en
joyments at home by many ; there are those who
dread its approach as a season of destitution and
distress. Then, in the midst of our own comfort
and happiness, let Christian charity and benevo
lence work deep into our hearts, and let there be
no Levites of wealth and pride to pass by unheed
ed the cries of suffering humanity.
TheHFalr at Richmond, Va., a Failure.
“It is a fact which cannot he denied/’ says the
Richmond South of Wednesday last, “that the
grand National Fair now in progress is a lamenta
ble and unmitigated failure. The exhibition of
machinery and stock is inferior to any previously
made in this city. Melancholy looking people
wander about the desolate grounds, with faces
which indicate anything but approbation. In con
sideration of the sum of fifty cents, the curious
are allowed to enjoy the luxury of inhaling an
atmosphere laden with dust, and to exercise their
ingenuity in finding objects to examine. This ex
orbitant charge,"of which wo have already, spoken
in terms of just reprobation, has operated to the
exclusion of many who would have visited the
grounds had the admittance fee been at its former
standard. But, while it has injured the National
Fair, it has benefitted a large class of the commu
nity who are entitled to congratulation on the re
sult. Very many have absented themselves on
this account, and by so doing have economized
time, money and comfort, to say nothing of hav
ing avoided a bore of the first magnitude. The
amiable visage of Barnum'is alone wanting at’the
gate-way to give the last touch to the affair. Is
it not possible to secure the services of thatjmfcr
familiaa\)f the humbug generation ? or, if it he too
late for his actual, bodily presence to he obtained,
cannot an ofligy of the greai/himble-riggerbe erec
ted over the main entrance? It only lacks this
last embellishment, and we respectfully submit
that the omission should at once be “supplied.”
Ron. John H. Lnderwood.
The Atlanta Intelligencer of the 30th ult., upon
the authority of au intimate friend of the above
named gentleman, contradicts the rumor of his in
tention to resign the Speaker’s Chair at the ap
proaching session of our Legislature. As the
name of Hou. John Milledge, of Augusta, has been
repeatedly mentioned in connexion with the con
templated vacancy, that gentleman has enjoyed a
fair opportunity to ascertain the regard in which
he is held by the Democratic press.
_ .
Mr. Breckinridge’s Letter.
In another column, we give the letter of Mr.
Breckinridge to the Illinois Committee in relation
to the re-election of Mr. Douglas. It is cautiously
worded and only prefers the election of Mr. Doug
las to a Republican.
ff&S* A western publisher gave notice that he
intended to spend fifty dollars for the purpose of
getting up anew head for the paper. Next day
one of his subscribers sent him the following note:
“Don’t do it. Better keep the money and buy a
‘new head’ for the editor.”
The Richmond Enquiror, comes to us much en
larged and improved in its general appearance.—
The Enquirer is now in the 54th year of its exis
tence.
Mi. Walsh, in one of his late letters to the Jour
nal of Commerce, says: “We may suppose the
Moßlem pilgrimago to Mecca and Medina to boa
prodigious physical as well as moral nuisance. Of
the 200,000 devotees of the present year, a third at
least have perished by maladies, not epidemic, but
simply incident to their observances and modes of
living during their sojourn in the holy cities. The
appearance of such of the survivors as returned by
Egypt is described in letters from Alexandria as
wretched in the extreme.”
Wm. F. Samford.—The Enquirer
contains the able letter of the lion. Wm. F. Sam
ford of Alabama to Hon. Henry W. Hilliard. It
is the best argument we have ever read in favor
of ie-opening the African Slave Trade. Our
views on this subject differ with the writer’s, but
we cannot withhold an expression of our admira
tion at the ability with which he discusses the
question.
Death of a U. S. Officer.— The Charleston
papers record the death of Geo. S. Wheeler, of
the U. S. Revenue Service, cutter Wm. Aiken, in
that city, Tuesday last. Lieut. W. was a native
of Pennsylvania, and was attached to the late
Japan Expedition.
The Washington correspondent of the New
York Herald says that the Hon. John E. Ward
will probably be offered the Mission to China,
which is now vacant.
It i9 ensy enough to prove anything when you
have willing witnesses. An advocate in Balti
more recently opened for the defence by; stating,
W e expect to prove, may it please the Court, that
our client was not present when the murder was
committed, but was in a distant part of the city
If the prosecution proves his presence, we shall
prove that the deed was done in self-defence and
after gross provocation.”
That defence should be sufficient.
Chess—Morfhy and Staunton. —A letter has
been published from Mr. Morphy to Mr. Staunton,
in which the young Americau repeats his challenge
to the English champion. “ Permit me,” he says
—anticipating certain objections—“to repeat
what I have invariably declared in every chess
community I have had the honor ot entering, that j
lam not a professional player—thnt I uever j
wished to make any skill I possess the means of pe- j
I euniary advancement —and that my earnest desire j
• is never to play for any stake but honor. My
I friends in New Orleans, however, subscribed a
| certain sum, without any countenance from me,
’ and that sum has been ready for you to meet a con
siderable time past. Since my arrival in Paris I
have been assured by numberous gentlemen that
the value of those stakes can he immediately in
creased to any amount; but, for myself personal
ly, reputation is the only incentive I recognize.—
The matter of seconds cannot, certainly, offer any
difficulty. I had the pleasure of being first received
in London by the St. George’s Chess Club, of
which you are so distinguished a member; and
of those gentlemen I request the honor of appoint
ing my second, to whom I givo full authority in
settling all preliminaries.”
Office of the Board of Health,
Mobile, Oct. 29.
The Board reports 12 interments from yellow
fever for the twenty-four hours ending at six
o’clock this day.
D. Herndon, M. D. Secretary,
New Orleans, Oct. 29.—There were only
tweuly-one interments from yellow fever in this
city for the twenty-four hours ending at noon yes
terday, according to the returns of the Board of
Health.
This is a gratifying decrease (Picayune.)
Washington, Oct. 27, 1858.
There is no doubt but that Admiral Kellett has
instructions from the British government to pre
vent filibustering expeditions into Central Ameri
ca. The indications are that the President will
shortly issue a proclamation with a view to prevent
the violalion of the neutrality laws.
The Secretary of War has received a despatch
from Gen. Twiggs, confirming the heretofore pub
lished accounts of a fight with the Indians in Tex
as, and will take immediate measures for increas
ing the militity force in that State.
The California mails via Tehuantepec wero to

The General Superintendent of the Pacific

ened during the past season ; that the road through
Nebraska is probably completed, and that the Fort
Kearney, South Pass and Honey Lake road is fin
ished from tho South Pass to City Rooks.
Correspondence of the Baltimore Sun.
Washington, Oct. 27.—The despatch from
Washington concerning cabinet changes, Ac., is
utterly without foundation. No change is in con
templation. Neither is it true that Mr. Clay has
been recalled from Peru.
Some other Washington rumors sent through
by agents and correspondents over tho telegraph
wires of late, are also erroneous. The President’s
views and intentions on the subject of the tariff,
tho Pacific Railroad, and Mexico, Central Ameri
ca, Ac., arc not. to be looked for in the daily “des
patches” from this city.
The British government has given formal notice
to the United States government that they will in
! terfere to prevent any further filibustering enter-
I prises from the United States upon Nicaragua,
j Costa Rica or any of the Central America States.
! This is no empty declaration, but a positivo and
grave determination. To enforce it, the British
government are about to send a strong fleet to the
port of Greytown, and also to San Juan del Sur.—
It is probable that some enterprises, of a character
similar to that imputed to General Walker, are on
foot, in regard to Nicaragua. Some mysterious
movements from New York iu the direction of
Nicaragua can only be accounted for on this sup
position; and hence the interference of Great-Britan
at this time. lon.
The Indian War In Oregon—Battle at Four Lakes
and Defeat of the Savages, Etc.
St. Louis, Oct. 27, 1858.
The overland mail, which arrived last night,
brought letters to October 1, but no San Francisco
papers.
The Los Angeles Vineyard, of the 2d inst. i3,
however, to hand. It contains an account of a
battle at Four Lakes, Oregon, on the Ist of Sept.,
between three hundred troops, under Col. Wright,
and five hundred Indians, in which the Indians
were completely routed, with the loss of seventeen
killed and many vrounded. The troops sustained
no loss whatever.
The Oregon State Legislature met at Salem on
the 13th of September, and adjourned sine die,

There is no California news of interest in tho
Los Angeles paper.
The Minnesota Election.
Chicago, Oct. 27, 1858.
The St. Paul (Minnesota) Pioneer, of the 25th
inst., states that definite returns from every part
of the State, excepting one district, indicate that
the Legislature will stand thus :—House, demo
crats, thirty-nine; republicans, forty. Senate, re

From the counties of Colusa, Marin, Placer,

of State, of the votes cast for Members of Con

with the exception of that cast iu Placerjind Yolo,

The Mcarauga Question—A War Cloud.
It will be seen by extracts which we give else
where from the French and English journals, that
a strong feeling of excitement has been awakened
iu France and England by informrtion received
there, to the eflcct that theUuited States had sent
vessels of war to the waters of Nicarauga, to co
erce the government of that republic into a refusal
to ratify the contract made with Mr. Felix Belly
for the opening of an interoceanie ship canal.—
That intelligence was also aggravated by a report
of anew fillibustering expedition being fitted out
by Walker against the States of Central America.
While entire faith seems not to have been given to
this intelligence, the papers, nevertheless, improve
the occasion to read lectures to the United States
upon its national characteristic of annexation, and
to notify us that we need not take any open or se
cret means to possess ourselves of the Isthmus of
Nicaragua, inasmuch as the maritime nations of
Europe would not for a moment tolerate such an
assumption on our part.
In connection with this subject we also find in
the French papers translations of the letters that
passed between our Minister, Mr. Lamar, and the
Nicaraguan Minister of Foreign Affairs, in relation
to the Belly contract. We givo translations of
these documents. In the reply of Senor Cortez,
the Nicaraguan Minister, it is declared that that
government regards as null and void the two con
tracts made with American citizens for opening the
Isthmus route, and that the mission of Gen. Jerez
to Washington was to cause the principle of justice
to prevail with our government.
We arc likewise informed that Mr. Lamar has
demanded from Nicaragua tho sum of six millions
of dolla rs, as indemnification for loss of American
lives and property during the fillibuster war; that
he has formulated against Costa Rica a further de
mand of two millions on the like ground, and that
he purposes making similar demands upon Salva
dor and Guatemala.
If t here be truth in these statements and mean
ing in these threats,the sooner we brush up our mil
itary and naval resources the better. We must
either withdraw our pretensions or prepare to sus
tain them.—-A 7 . Y. Herald.
Central American Affairs.
Washington, Oct. 30.—Private intelligence re
ceived here states that Gen. Lamar has succeeded
in getting suitable acknowledgements from Costa
Rica, in relation to vexed questions which have
been pending.
The steamers which were destined for Lake Ni
caragua have gone up the river unmolested.
Washington, Oct. 30.-—The usual proclama
tion of the President against fillibusters will be
promptly issued. Marez presented an apology to
Cass from Martinez for offensive allegations
against the Union, in the late manifesto. Our
government have no controversy with France in re
lation to Central America, but in relation to Eng
land, that subject is of a delicate nature.
The Kentucky and Indiana Imbroglio.
Louisville, Oct. 30.—The difficulty growing
out of the arrest of Horace Bell, at New Albany,
Ind., has been amicably settled, by the assurance
on the part of the Bradenbergers, that Bell could
be released on bail.
Nicaragua—Gen. Lamar.
Tho French and English papers have been dis
cussing, in a tone not very friendly or complimen
tary to this country, the present state of our re
lations with Nicaragua.
The Paris Presse of the 7h October says—
We received yesterday, under the seal of tho
Consulate General of Nmaragua, a document pre
senting a rough view of the facts that have just
transpired in Nicaragua. We think it our duty to
publish the text of the correspondence W’hich took
place between Mr. Mirabeau Lamar, United States
Minister and General Martinez. These two docu
ments have been sent to Paris by the ‘governments
of Nicaragua and of Costa Rica. They demon
strate that the pretensions attributed to Mr. La
mar are far from having the violent and imperative
character which the London correspondence at
tributed to them. Still that does not prevent us
from considering that these pretensions deserve
in all respects, the attention and surveillance of
European governments, which ought no longer
to lose sight of the extra diplomatic projects of the
American filibusters.
The Presse then publishes the following corres
pondence:
The United States Minister to the Nicaraguan
Min ister of Foreign Affa ire.
United States Legation, Managua, )
August 11, 1858. j
To His Excellency the Minister of Foreign Affairs
of the Republic of Nicaragua:
Sir —Assuming annexed [publication
made by the New York Herald of the 18th June
last is the true and authentic copy of a contract
concluded between Nicaragua and Mr. Felix Bel
ly, I must inform you that any public or private
arrangement of your government with that gen
tleman will not be recognized or assented to, so far
as it contravenes the just rights which American
citizens have acquired in this country, and that
the liberal policy flowing from the treaty of Nov
ember last, in respect to the transit across the Isth
mus, will be constantly sustained. The interests
of Nicaragua, as well as those of all commercial
nations, evidently demand the maintenance of that
policy. As to the moasures that my government
may deem it proper to take in this matter, I can
not say.
The contract of Mr. Belly is followed by a docu
ment signed by President Mora, of Costa Rica,
and President Martinez, of Nicaragua, who appeal
to the European Powers against the United States
of America. I regret (“admit,” in tho French
translation) that these two chief magistrates
should have seen fit to perform an act of distrust
towards my government, and towards its agents
in this country. But the gratuitous recriminations
contained in that document, and the degree of at
tention to their insolent character, are matters for
the consideration of my government, not for mine.
I have the honor to be vour very obedient serv’t
MIRABEAU LAMAR.
The Nicaraguan Minister of Foreign Affairs to
Mr. Lamar.
National Palace, Managua, )
October 12, 1858. j
The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Nicaragua to
“His Excellency Mr. Mirabeau Lamar, Resident
Minister of the United States to Nicargua:
Mr. Minister—His Excellency the General Pre
sident of the republic has taken note of the senti
ments expressed in your communication of the
11th inst., and has directed me to answer you in
the following terms:
The principle of the policy of Nicaragua, inter
nal as well as external, is justice; and that justice
my government stipulates for all, desires for all
and requires for the people whose destinies are
confided to it. Consequently, it cannot in any
way alienate the exercise of its rights. On the
contrary, it is determined to maintain inviolablv
those rights that belong to the republic, with all
the dignity that it possesses, and with all the
means at its disposal. From this his Excellency
the United States Minister ought to conclude that
iny government has never thought and does not
think to-day of interfering with the rights of the
citizens ot North America, whose republic is at
peace with ours; and to give him a pledge of the
good relations which ought to subsist between
these two republics, I must inform him that the
treaties made with his countrymen in [reference
to the transit are null and void—that of Stebius,
because the transit has not been opened within
the time stipulated, the company being notorious
ly unable to fulfil its engagements. And as that
company has raised some litigious questions, my
government has sent General Jerez to Washing
ton that he may there obtain the triumph of that
principle of justice from which my government
has never departed.* I have the honor to be your
Excellency’s very humble servant.

From Costa Rica.
We have the Cronica de Costa Rica to Sept. 25.
The National Congress was in session, and the pa
pers are filled with the usual annual documents.
The report of the Minister of the Treasury, Ac.,
states that the revenue last year amounted to $566,-
010, besides a forced loan of $49,212, which is a
falling off of $212,227 from the revenue of 1856.
The national debt now amounts to $300,000. Com
plete peace lias reigned since the expulsion of the
filibusters. The Minister says that thus far, the
revenue of 1858 shows an improvement. The ar
my has been put upon a very firm footing in ex
pectation of another filibuster invasion ; and a de
cree has been approved declaring, that all future
invaders shall be treated as pirates, i. e., shot as
soon as caught. The Minister of Foreign Rela
tions pays a high eulogium to Com. Paulding,and
says that the relations of the United States arc sat
isfactory. A contract has been made with a
French company to lay a submarine cable. The
contract was signed Aug. 6, the day after the land
ing at Trinity Bay,
There had been recently many audacious rob
beries in Costa Rica.
Gen. Mirabeau B. Lamar, the American Minis
ter, was formally received by the President of Cos
ta Rica on the 13th Sept. The Cronica says eve
ry facility w ill be given to him to treat if he so de
sires.
Herr Roodenbek, the to Cen
tral Americn, had concluded a treaty of commerce,
friendship, Ac., which was immediately ratified by
Congress.
Senor Zambrano, the Spanish Minister, had com
menced negotiations for a treaty; but it being con
sidered desirable to negotiate a common treaty be
tween Spain and the Central American Union,
Senor Zambrano had retired to Madrid, whither
perhaps plenipotentiaries would be sent from all
the States.
Punta Arenas had, by decree, been raised tod he
dignity of a city.
In order to promote the Union of the Central
American States under one government, the Costa
Rican Congress had authorized President Mora to
agree to a uniform system of currency, weights,
measures, Ac., and to adopt a uniform tarifffor toll
and other systems,
Nicaragua. —We have El Nacional dejjeon to
Sept. 18. The fifteenth of September, a general
national holiday, was celebrated with much spirit.
The new Constitution had been adopted with
many rejoicings.
The National Assembly’ had authorized Presi
dent Martinez to take steps to perfect the Central
American Union.
The Ministry had been reconstructed as follows:
Foreign Affairs: D. Pedro Zeladon.
Treasury: Dr. D. Jesus de la Rocha,
Government and War: D. Eduardo Castillo.
Things In* Washington, 11s Telegraphed, to the New
York Papers.
Admiral Kellett, commander of the British West
India squadron, will go at once to the waters of
Central America to back Sir William Gore Ousley
by the presence and significant prestige of the
British fleet. Sir William leaves immediately.—
Should General Walker or any fillibusters attempt
to land In Nicaragua, Admiral Kellett is instruct
ed, upon application of the existing government of
that Republic, to use his force against the fillibus
ters.
The President and Cabinet say emphatically that
whatever course particular Northern Democrats
may pursue concerning the English bill, they in
tend to stand by the provision excluding Kansas
until she have a population of ninety-three thou
sand, ascertained by the census, and will insist
upon that condition as a party test. This declar
ation will be substantially affirmed in the mes
sage.
The increase of the Paraguay force shows that
tho expectations of the Administration have sud
denly changed. It is now believed that if Lopez
decides ou resistance, it will be necessary to send
a large military force, under experienced generals,
for land operations.
The statement is current that George Saunders
was despatched to Kansas yesterday, w ith instruc
tions creating him Presidential legate, withppor
ers of acting governor.
If Indiana-Leeomptou Hughes gets anything
diplomatic, it will be the Prussian mission, vice
Gov. Wright, who has been long opposed by
Bright. The Russian mission has too recently
been filled by Col. Pickens of South Carolina to |
be vacated for Hughes’ sake.
Revised Democratic estimates givo nine South
Americans in the next House.
Mr. Dallas has written to the President that he
will return home in the spring, and Mr. Clay has
been recalled from Peru. I also learn that Mr.
Preston declines the mission to Spain, after having
intimated his acceptance.
Secretary Cass had a consultation yesterday
with Secretary Toucey about strengthening the
Home Squadron, in view of our Mexican relations
and the anticipated Spanish fleet for Cuban wa
ters. It is probable that several vessels will be
ordered home from forein stations for this shore.
The movements of General Walker are regarded
with much interest, especially in diplomatic cir
cles, it being represented that he is well supplied
with both men and money for his professedly
peaceful enterprise.
The Bible in Schools. —At the Synod of N. Y.
and New Jersey, recently held at Orange, New
Jersey, Rev. Dr. Parker, of this city, moved the
following resolutions, which, after a very interest
ing discussion, w T ere adopted:
Resolved, That the education of children in the
public schools, within the bounds of this Synod, re
quires the more vigilant attention of the Church,
lest by neglect of the Bible and those Christian
principles which inculcate obedience to govern
ment and respect for law. these schools should lose
all power, and become subservient to the increase
of infidelity, Romanism, licentiousness, and an
archy.
Resolved, That this Synod would express their
regret that the Bible has been latety expelled from
some of our Public Schools, and they would call
upon all Christian people and friends of our civil
institutions to use every proper Christian influence
to restore it to its place.
California Steamship Line.
The American Atlantic and Pacific Ship Canal
Company havejopened the line of travel to Califor
nia across the Isthmus, and announce the sailing
of their steamers at regular intervals from theports
on the Atlantic and Pacific sides for the next
month. This company possesses the grant from
the Nicaraguan government for the transit across
the Isthmus, and they have already sent down
three steamboats for the transportation of passen
gers and freight by the lake and river. These
boats are now at their destinations. The company,
some months ago, chartered the steamship Her
mann from her owners, and that vessel left for San
Juan del Sur on the 24th of August last, and will
probably arrive at that port so as to commence her
trips to San Francisco by the middle of November.
The steamship Washington was purchased to run
in connection with the Hermann, between New
York and San Juan del Norte, and she is now
being fitted up for that purpose. She will be rea
dy to leave hereon the 6th of November, so as to
have her passengers and freight at San Juan del
Norte in time for the sailing of the Hermann from
the other side. On her way to that point she will
touch at Kingston, Jamaica, and after discharg
ing her passengers for that island, pursue her
route direct for her ultimate destination.
According to the terms of the agreement with
the Nicaraguan govormnent, the company are to
build a railroad from Virgin Bay, on Lake Nica
ragua, to San Juan del Sur, a distance of about 20
miles. Up to this point the travel will be by
steamboat on the river and lake. At present the
twelve miles over which the|railroad is to be con
structed is over a good macadamized road to the
port on the Pacific, where the passengers are to be
received on board the Hermann from the compa
ny’s wharf and conveyed direct to San Francisco.

THE TRAVELING COMMUNITY.
A remedy such as Bckrhave’s Holland Bit
ters cannot be too highly recommended. To the
traveling community, especially, it is certainly
an invaluable remedy; having little or no exer
cise, constantly exposed, and subject to effects
of a change of climate and water, they require
some pleasant medicine of this kind to regulate
the bowels.

WOOD’S HAIR RESTORATIVE.
Almost every body has heard of Wood’s Hair
Restorative. That the word Restorative in this
case is no miSYiomer, we have the testimony of
individuals whose elevated position in the country
as well as their acknowledged and honorable cha
racter as gentlemen, vender whatever they publicly
assaertin the last degree reliable. Several of
these have tested, personally, the hair preparation
we are now speaking of, and certify to its amazing
efficacy in the most public manner possible. Their
certificates can be seen at the proprietor’s depot,
312 Broadway, New York, and once seen and
properly appreciated, we have no hesitation in
saying they will impress conviction on the most
skeptical mind. Wood’s Hair Restorative is,
doubtless, the bent article of its kind ever yet pro
duced.
>S3§L*lt does not dye, but gives life, health and
beauty to the decaying, falling and dead, restoring
as if by magic, that which was supposed to be ir
recoverably lost. Heads nearly bald, and others
nearly white, are daily being changed to their
pristine beauty, and faces covered with pimples are
rendered as smooth as an infant’s, and blushing
as a rose, all by the use of Prof. Wood’s Hair Re
storative. For sale at 114 Market Street, and by
all Druggists. —Chicago Democrat.
Sold by all Druggists hi this city, and by deal
ers and druggists generally throughout the United
States and Canadas. oct27—wd2w.
