.. Justice to General Scott.
We are not nmong the admirers of General
jicott. Wo think him less fittod for tho Presidency
than any man of cither party that has boon refined
in'connection with that offico. But wo hjtvo no
sympathy with that low partizan detraction that
would wilfully misrepresent his actions fend falsely
iinpOgnhis poreonal integrity. Having seen tho
churgo in tho now9papcra that ho had, early in his
military career) ombczclled Government funds, and
boon court-martlalod for it, wo/havo referrod to an
anthontib account of tho projeoedings on which tho
chargo was basod, and which is now brought for*
ward in a most unfair nnjX discreditable manner, to
operate against his election. Tho specific chargo
made and established, and which is now asserted,
tarnished his personal honor, was that Captain
Scott had, in September and Octobor, 1809, with-
held from hiym.cn their pay.
Wo quoKHrom Fayette Robinson’s work, in two
volumqa^" The Army of the United States."—
Thfkfollowing gives not only a full outline of tho
jfrocqodings, but an insight into tho baso motives
prompting the prosecution.
' From the record it appears that tho court-martial
acquitted the accused of all fraudulent intentions
in detaining tho pay of his men.
It also appears that tho amount of money un
accounted for waa less than fifty dollars.
Lot tho political campaign bo fought upon tho
Toni merits of tho candidates, thoir respective ca
pacities for tho high position to which they aro
nominated by tho two great parties of tho country,
and by tho intrinsic correctness and strength of tho
principles of which they aro exponents. Tho at-
tompt to carry an eloction by slandering tho fair
fame of tho distinguished nominees, will only
bring disgruco upon thoL; who try it. Tho marks
they lot fly thoir puny arrows at, aro beyond their
- roach.
" General Wilkinson thon commanded in Now-
Orleans; and having becomo satisfied that Scott
possessed a cool, head, a ready pen, a strong arm,
and groat resolution, sought to make him his friend.
He failed to do so, and having yet further com
promised himself, sought by a scries of annoyances
to forco tho young captain from tho service.
A blunder of tho general, not tho only ono ho
over committed, soon brought the difficulty to a
climax. In tho middle of tho summer of 1809, tho
troops were encamped beforo Now-Orleans, near
tho nvor. It is scarcely necessary to say what wer<
the consequences of this step. Tho only linn lane
to bo found there, is a narrow strip immediately on
tho bank, which is chocked by sluggish bayous,
communicating with tho marshes which constitute
tho greater port of the delta. Violent fevers occur-
ed which earned off moro than half of tho army,
and forced tho general to remove the remainder to
Natchez, whero tho hills first approach the Missis
sippi. General Wilkinson was at once relieved by
General Hampton, and ordered to Washington that
bis conduct might bo investigated.
The General’s conduct on this and other occa
sions was tho subject of very general remark, and
as ho was not in command, wus censured with
much freedom. Captain Scott, who was then but
twenty-three years of ago, participated in theso
strictures, which somo mischief-maker reported to
tho general. Officers of ranks, from tho naturo of
things, have a kind of follow feeling for each other;
aind it was not difficult to induco General Hampton
to order a court martial to try a captain of artillery
who had dared to scrutinize tho conduct of a gen
eral officer. Goneral Wilkinson had not ns yet
loft Louisiana for Washington, and tho conviction
of Captain Scott was probably intended to bo n
hind of endorsement of his own character. Just
then it needed some such certificate.
Tho charges against Captain Scott were two, and
an additional churgo:
Tho first was, conduct unbecoming an officer and
a gentleman: tho specification or allegation on
which this chargo waa based, was that Captain
Scott had, in Soptember and October, 1809, with
held from his men their pay.
The second charge was also unofiicorlike con
tact, and tho specification stated that Scott had
behaved disrespectfully to his superior officer, in
violation of tho sixth article of war. To support
this thero was no evidence.
• Tho third or additional chargo was unofficer
like and ungentlemanly conduct. Its specification
alleged that at a dinner-table Captain Scott had
stated that Colonel Burr and General Wilkinson
were both traitors, and that the latter was a liar and
scoundrel.
The finding and sentence of the court will best
explain the idea thoy took of tho matter.
1. "Guilty of tho first specification of tho first
chargo, and pronounce his conduct unofliccr-like.
{Not ungentlemanly.)
2. “Tho court ucquit tho prisoners of tho second
charge and specification.
8. "Tho court find tho prisoner guilty of tho first
specification'of tho additional chargo, but not guilty
of tho second specification; and pronounco his con
duct unofficor-iiko; and sentence him to bo sus
pended from all rank, pay and emoluments, for tho
space of twelve months. But the court have no
hesitation in acquitting the prisoner of all fraudu
lent intention in detaining the pay of his men.—
Tho court adjourned.
"Tho court met pursuant to adjournment, and ro-
commcnded to the General the remission of nino
months of Captain Scott’s suspension.
(Signed,) “H. RUSSEL,
Colonel ol tho 7th Infantry, President.
WILLIAM KING,
Lieut of Infantry, Judge Advocate.”
It will also bo remembered that this court was
convenod by Scott’s opponents, of old officers, to
try one who, recently appointed to a company
without having submitted to the probation of a
Jioutcnantcy, was thought an intruder.
The circemstances of the charge which relates to
his /company’s pay may need somo. explanation.
Captain Scott was an inexperienced officer, and lit
tle familiar with the routine of tho army. He had
recruited his company in tho interior of Virginia,
and while there, previous to his going southward,
had received several hundred dollars for their ser
vice. Tho system of army accountability is pecu
liar. Not unfrequently tho returns of men who
have boon twenty years in the service aro sent
back for informality, and some of the receipts taken
by tho young captain, though they would have been
satisfactory vouchers in any court of'Christendom,
would not satisfy the second auditor. Tho amount
thus unaccimnted for was less than filly dollars.
Tho court, however, by acquitting him of all frau
dulent intention, havo placed tho matter in its truo
light.
. On ono chargo ho was found guilty, and suspend
ed from command for a year.
This trial took place at Washington, near
Natchez, whero such an interpretation was placed
on the whole affair, that the citizens of tho town
and neighborhood almost immediately offered him
n public dinner, which ho accepted. Gen. Hamp
ton remitted no portion of Scott’s sentence, and he
therefore returned to Virginia.
Wilkinson was unfortunate os a man and as a
gencralj and, perhaps, aggravated by tho compari
son people would make of his wretched campaign
in 1813, and his ignoble rcpulso of 1814. with the
triumphs of Scott at Niagara, See., published, im
mediately after the war, an account of this court-
martial, which otherwise would havo slept amid
tho records of an obscure frontier post. Tho blow
recoiled on himself, and recalled public attention
to scenes and recollections it would have been far
bolter for his fame had ho left undisturbed.”—Vol.

' Gentlemen:—Tho now and handsomo Tent
ciquipago presented to this Institution by tho Repub
lican Blues, Savannah Volunteer Guards and
Chatham Artillery was rocoivod this morning.
I cannot express tho high degree ol satisfaction
which this liberal donation, so unexpected by us,
bos afforded. Wo receive tho gift ns another indi
cation that tho intelligent and patriotic citizens of
Georgia, and osiweiafly tho military gentlemen of
tho Stulo, regard the lustitution as nn important on-
’ tbrpriso. This alone, if tho officers of tho Institu
tion disohargo their duty, will insure success. The
plan of tho Institution is pot now; in government,
discipline and tho courso of Instruction, it is an ex
act copy of West Point—that "stem ruggod nureo”
who as one has well remarked, teaches all her
children solf-reliance, moral und intellectual; to
•do their duty, whether it bo on tho battle field, in
the Pulpit, at the Bar, or in the School-room; and
»to have a wholesome regard for ono another and for
it'tnay'bugrotifying to you to know that although
the Instllttion has been in operation but one year,
we have nt this timo 84'Cadets. Our discipline is
good; not much, if at all. inferior to that -tit West
Point. It has boon predicted that tho yodng mon
fof Georgia will not submit to this discipline. Our
experience, so far is, thnt not moro than ono in
soven who try it, will refuso.
As tho successor this enterprise thoreforo, do-
ponds, mainly, upon tho estimation in which it is
regarded by tho intolligont and influential citizens
ol the State, lot mo assure you gentlomon, that this
testimonial of your approbation affords tho high
est satisfaction to tho officers and Cadets of tho In

Railroad botween the Atlantic and the Gulf.
Tho connection of tho waters of tho Atlantic
with thoso of tho Gulf of Mexico, is a subject which
has long engaged the attention of somo of the first
mindajn tho United States. Beforo tho marvellous
results of railroads were ever dreamed of, while
navigable canals were looked upon as the 60I0
means of intercommunication, several plans, moro
or less feasible, wore projected, all having tho saino
object in viow—that is, tho shortening of distanco
and the avoidance of tho dangers and perils of tho
coral and other reefs of tho Florida peninsula—tho
substitution, in Bhort, of a tranquil, sale and easy
path for the peaceful pursuits of commerce, in tho
placo of that exposed and circuitous route, dreaded
alike by cautious navigators and Insurance offices.
And there is no wonder thnt Borne such mode of
transit has been kept constantly in viow, when the
prodigious quantity of merchandize, always in
creasing, thnt passes round the Florida capes is
considered.
The immenso ability of railroads to transport
freight, and their superior dispatch, have of late
years caused tho matter of canals to be no longer
considered. A railroad, it is thought, will, nt no
distant day, cross tho peninsula. Several locations
aro indicated by nature as suitable for this object.
By some it has been proposed to adopt one of tho
shortest routes drawn as nearly perpendicularly, as
may be, across tho peninsula, and thus unite tho
waters of tho two seas. Tho objections to this
plan aro tho want of good and accessible harbors,
and the groat distance left to be traversed by sen on
either side, before arriving at tho termini of such a
road. Another plan suggested, is to extend routes
already constructed—for example, to pass from Sa
vannah ^ by Macon and Oglethorpe, to tho junction
of tho Hint and Chattahoochee. This is objection
able on account of tho great distance—for such a
line would be little, if any, short of 400 miles long,
while tho route from Macon via Montgomery to
Pensacola will be, by tho shortest contemplated
route, some 250 miles more.
Tho route from Brunswick has been much con
sidered. Tho road, as originally projected from that
point to tho waters of tho Choctawhatcheo or St.
Andrews’ Buy, would bo unnecessarily long and
expensive, and still moro objectionablo if continued
all the way to Pensacola. The true terminus on
that side, is at the junction of tho Flint and Chatta-
hooclieo rivers, from which point is a safe and un
interrupted navigation. Such a road would bo,
counting from Brunswick to this junction, rather
moro than two hundred miles long. If wo take
Savannah as the terminus of such a road, tho dis
tanco would perhaps bo a little increased, tho (Bal
timore U. S. map, 1851, however, makes it just 200
miles long,) while by a very trifling deviation from
a bee lino tho important counties of Thomas and
Lowndes could bo easily accommodated. Such a
road with n terminus at Savannah, would find all
tho outsido connections on this side pro-nrrangod—
i. e. a connection both by our Augusta branch, and
steamboats to Charleston, with that continuous line
of railroads soon to bo completed to tho remotest
points of Maine aud oven Canada. Such a road
would also find a noble lino of sea-going steamers
communicating coastwiso with Now York in a con
dition of complete readiness, and it would also have
immediate relations with the Charleston and Now-
York steamers. Why, thcn.with theso facts before us
think of tho Brunswick connection ? What object
would a road from Brunswick subserve (the advan
tage of Brunswick itself not being considered)
which would not bo much bettor subserved by a
road to tho samo point from Savannah ? Tho city
of Savannah, with or without some aid from the
Legislature, can build this road at no distant day,
and the half million of dollars expected to como
from Thomas county, and tho contingents from
other counties for such an object would as soon bo
devoted to this road as any other—-probably with
much more readiness, for tho movements of Savan
nah in railroad enterprises aro of a nature to inspire
tho highest confidence, and such a road would pay,
when ono from Brunswick would not.
Tho road from Savannah to tho confluonco of
tho two rivers whoso waters flow towards tho Gulf
would pass nearly through Eden in Bryan county,
through Ilinesvillo in Liberty, and Holmcsville in
Appling. It would touch tho northwest corner of
Ware, cutoff triangular sections from Irwin and
Lowndoa—tho largest from tho latter. It would
.hon pass through tho centre oi Thomas a fow miles
torth oi Thomasvillo, and lastly through Dccutur,
tradually approaching tho Florida lino, which it
■vould roach os its western terminus. It is pcrfoct-
y evident that this road would accommodate nn
mmonso amount of merchandise, both through and
ocal, placo travellers much nearer Now-Orlcan*,
han by any other routo that can bo named, and
sontroul thnt coasting business soon destined to bc-
• :omo vastly important along tho western shore of
. ho Florida poninsula. It would, too, bo in tho ox-
ict locality for future extension towards Pensacola,
n conclusion, wo will add that this subject has
| utely engaged tho attention of somo of our citizens,
and that a charter for tho road will bo asked of tho
icxt Legislature.
Tho Sonato has fixed tho 31st of August as tho
•lay for tho termination of tho present session, and

grand maestro of the troupo.
The Fisheries Question.—Memorials have been
signed at Now York, Philadelphia and Boston,
praying that a naval forco bo iorthwith dispatched
to protect tho fisheries, which employ 2100 vessels
and thirty thousand seamen, involving a capital of
$12,000,000; and stating thnt tho now construction
placed on this matter by the Enrl of Derby’s Ad

arrangements havo been consummated by which a
line of ocean stoamers will bo established between
Portland, Maine, nnd Liverpool, in connection
with tho Portland and Montreal Rail-road, com

. Thoughts of an Old Man.
Remember the Poor.—Whilo our good and noblo
city is extending her borders on ovory sldo—whilo
"poaco is within hor walls, nnd prosperity within
her palacoa”—whilo stntoly dwellings adorn our
streets, nnd fino gardens smilo around us 5 will not
somo kind honrt remember tho Poor ? YVo "dwell
in ceiled houses nnd sloop on couohos of Ivory.”
God in hia bounty nnd loving kindness, throws
opon to us ovory nvonuo to healthful ogjoymont,
nnd when tho duty of tho dny is ended, nnd wo "lio
down to pleasant dreams,” it is but to sny,"to-tnor-
row shall bo ns this dny, nnd even more abundant.”
Do wo, whilo joy is in our hearts, remombor tho
poor—tho many sons nnd dnughtors of affliction,
shut out from tho blessings so profusely scattered in
our path, nnd which wo might share with them 1
YVo do well to expond monoy in making our
"garden city” moro beautiful to tho eyo. YVo would
mako hor churches fit places to worship God In, nnd
hor dwellings fit houses, for tho sons of freomon.
YVo would givo her fountains to fling thoir spark
ling waters on tho sultry air, and let her own
marblo toll of departed greatness. YVo would
cherish hor public institutions, nnd foster ovory ef
fort to promoto intellectual nnd religious improve
ment. But wo would remember tho jtoor. Thoro
is wealth onough nmong us, and thero aro noblo
hearts to employ it generously in this good enuso 5
nnd although hero, poverty soldom assumes tho
ghastly nnd appalling form, nt which humanity
shudders, in less favored claims, thoro is much
hard, bitter, unmitigated nnd hopeless suffering, of
which wo little dream, and many a dosolnto mourn
er whoso broken hearted cry goes disposing up to
hoavon unhoared and unheeded on earth. YVo
know this must be—but wo can do something to
nlloviato it. YVo can build houses for the poor-
houses to suit thoir humblo wants nnd limited abili
ty. YVo con snvo them from tho exactions of a
merciless landlord, and enable them with tho pay
ment of a modornto rent, to give thoir haul earnings
to the support of thoir families. YV0 can save them
from tho unboalthful influences of closo nnd crowd
ed rooms (one of which alas! must answer all tho
purposes of life and of death)—from tho demoraliz
ing effect of living without hope nnd without God
in tho world. YVo can givo them light, air and
water, for theso aro God’s gifts to all. YVo can
keep them from ignoranco, despair and death, nnd
stretch out n merciful lmnd to lend them in tho way
of life everlasting. Will not some kind heart re
member the Psor ?
Things in Havana.—The now administration is
making sovernl reforms, which aro of great vnluo,
Havana now wears tho nppcnranco of a Northorn
city on tho Stblmtlt—no placo of business being
open after ton in tho morning, nnd thon only for
certain necessaries required by tho Inboring popula
tion, who subsiit from day to day upon thoir earn
ings. Anothorordor inhibits profuno nnd indocont
Innguago in tho Btroets—and a third resuscitates an
ancient ordinance prohibiting tho exposure of nudi
ties in tho streets, so that parents havo to dress
thoir children rnce more in Havana, which is a
decided improvement.
“La Voz del Pueblo, Organ do Indopcndoncin,” a
sheet full of revolutionary sentiments, is out in Ha
vana. Copies of it aro Bcnttored in town and
country. The government hns offered a reward of
83,000 for the apprehension of any ono connected
with tho printing or circulation of this shoot, (two
numbers of which havo been issued,) but without
success. This shows that thoro is a remarkable
act on tho patt of publishers, ngonts, &c.
Fish or Fight.—According to our Washington
correspondence, (says the Baltimore Sun,) there is
a disposition in Congress to sustain tho right of tho
fishermen to pursuo thoir vocation in the waters
contiguous to the British provinces. Wo tako for
granted, therefore, that tho literal construction oi*
tho treaty will bo demanded by our government
nnd tho right to fish anywhoro nnd/jvory whore with
England. Common senso very naturally induces
such a construction, from tho torms of tho treaty
os it is alleged to exist.
Tho promptness and cordiality with which tho
South rallies to the protection of tho New Eng
landers is significant of that national spirit which
underlies all domestic dissension. Lot tho aggres
sor lilt his band against the North or South, East
or West, and in an instant thoro is no longer North,
South, Enst or YVest—all are ono.
Tho matter is oi some importance, but will ter
minate in diplomacy, wo have no doubt. England
has acted somowhat precipitately nnd indiscreetly;
so much tho more need for us to give her a lesson
in prudcnco and national dignity. Our task is to
defend our pooplo from unduo violence and arrest.
Resentment may prccipitato hostilities. Ronson
will avert tho consequences of that folly, which
for tho moment seem to possess tho tory adminis
tration of England.
Another Monument.—A picco of ground ono
hundred foot square has been selected nt Fort
Greene, Brooklyn, to erect a monument to tho
Martyrs of tho prison ships of tho lost war. Thoir
bones aro to bo buried under it.
Southern Railroap.—At a meeting of tho
stockholders of tho Southern Rnilrond Company,
hold in Vicksburg on tho 10th inst., Messrs. T. A.
Marshall, W. C. Smedes, J. H. Johnston, M. Eman
uel, W. Soflbld, C. W. Tnybr, S. Zimmerman, A.
M. Paxton, and Jnmes Roach, were duly elected
managers. YV. C. Smedes waa afterwards elected
President, and-James Roach secretary.
We rejoice to see that our Mississippi brethren
aro going to work in earnest to prosccuto this groat
work, which is designed to complete tho chain of
railroad from Montgomery, Ala., to Vicksburg,
Mississippi, a port of which, from Vicksburg to
Brandon, is already finished nnd in operation, This
done, and tho road from Jackson, Miss., to Now*
Orleans in operation, of tho early construction of
which thoro is now tho most flattering prospects,wo
shall havo a continuous lino of railroad from Port
land, Mnino, to New-Orleans, a distanco of over
two thousand miles.
Great Bridge at Louisville.—Wo learn from
tho Louisvillo Courier that a project is in contem
plation for tho construction of a tnnrino rnilrond
across the Ohio river at that point, to connect
Jeflersonvillo and Louisvillo. Mr. Hopkins, of N.
Orleans, together with other men ol means, are at
tho head of tho project.
The American Yacht Victorious.—Tho Now
Bedford Mercury records, on tho authority of n
privnto letter, tho victory of an American yacht,
owned by Robert B. Grinncll, over two yachts be
longing to tho “Model Yacht Club of Liverpool.”
Two silver goblets were the prize of the raco.
Dutch Possessions in Surinam.—Tho Frank-
further Journal, of tho 4th, says: "It is rumored
that tho Dutch Government has addressed to all
tho Governments of Qormany a noto which has
been laid beforo tho Germanic Diet. In the noto
in question, the Cabinet of the Hague invites tho
Gorman Governments to favor as much os possible
tbo colonization of tho Dutch possessions in Sur-
nam, tho Dutch Government being inclined, it says,
to givo every possible fiioility to Gormans desirous
of settling there.”
Wasteof the Croton Water.—Tho committoo
on tho Croton Aqueduct, in Now-York, report that
tho waste of water is such that tho supply from tho
river is likely to prove insufficient. In tho fire de
partment it is common to attach a hoso to a fire
plug, nnd play up and down tho stroot for sport.—
Tho pipes running to tho piers aro allowed to waste
much water. Tho street sprinkling by hoso is often
reckless. Tho committoo closo thoir report by sug
gesting that it may very soon bccomo necessary to
pass an ordinnneo stopping the supply of Croton
water to all steam vessels, except fur ordinary and
drinking purposes; interdicting tho uso of street
washers altogether for tho noxt two or three
months; compelling street sprinklers to procure
thoir water from the rivers; nnd closing all public
and privato fountains for a liko period of two or
threo months; abandoning entirely all jets in bar
rooms, groceries, confectionaries, bakeries, &c.
Thirty millions of gallons are daily delivered in
tho city, a quantity beyond tlmt served to an equal
poulation in any city in tho world.
A Curious Case ia related by tho Troy Budget
of a girl in that city losing her speech for a wholo
week. Being disobodient, and refusing to answer
hor mother when spoken to, sho found, after sitting
dumpiahly in tho comer for about nn hour, brood
ing over hor bad conduct, that she wns unnblo to
utter or articulnto a word! Hor friends did not
tuko particular notico of her for a couple of days,
supposing hIio wns keeping up hor pot. Finally she
wrote down that sho could not speuk, when her
friends became alarmed nnd consulted sovoral phy
sicians. After a week had passed, she awoko ono
morning and found herself again in speaking ordor.
English Government Finances.—Tho July di
vidends on tlio British Government Louns amount
to £6,921,060 sterling, or $33,850,000, At tho samo
time, £1,650,000 is paid out on tlio European uud
Moxicnn Loans hold In England, and tho miscella
neous dividends swell tho grand sum total to ten
millions sterling. Tho revenues of tho British
Government for tlio year ending tho 5th inst. were
£49,736,000, of which nineteen millions were de
rived from customs.
Power of Speech Restored.—Tho Dayton (Ohio)
City Item says that a citizen of that county, now
in his one hundred and ninth year, end who lias,
for tho past two years, boon deprived of tho powor
of speech, was lately, by somo accident, thrown
upon his bond, receiving a sovoro injury, but strange
ly to say, he has been ablo to convorso tut fluently
as nt any period of his lifo.

Tho Fishery Troubles*
Tho Boston Courier of YVodnosday publishes tho
lollowing additional document connoctod with tho
history of tho disputo concerning tho North-eastom
fisheries, nnd ono which furnishes nn important
pioco of ovidenco in relation to tho rights of
tho, American fishormon. It is sufficient of itself,
says tho Courier, to placo tho British government
completely in tho wrong, in ono branch, at least,
of the claim thoy havo rocontly sot up. It nppoars
that tho British Secretary for Foreign Affaire in
1845, mado an official avowal to our Minister nt
London, that tho privilege of oxclusivo fishing in
tho Bay of Fundy had been formally renounced by
tlio British government, and thnt tho fishing grounds
of that Buy wore opon to American vcssols by vir-
tuo of tho Convention of 1818. Notwithstanding
this express renunciation, Lord Derby’s cabinet
havo re-nssertod tho British claim to capture all
Amorican fishormon found within its waters.—
Ono capture has already boon mado thero. Th6
Courier adds:
It is, wo boliovo, nn entirely now principle in
intornalionnl law, that nn administration, cnbinot
or govommont of a country, is at liborty to disre
gard tho stipulations or concessions of an adminis
tration or government which hns preceded it.—
Gront Britain is ns strongly bound nt this moment
by tho acts of Sir Robert Fool’s ministry, in thoir
dealings with foreign nations, ns by tho ucts of tho
ministry now in power.
By intolliuenco from tho British provinooa, which
will bo found bolow, it will bo seen that quito a
formidable forco hus been equipped for ibis wnr
upon tlio Amorican fishermen. Tho British pre
tensions aro so manifestly unwarrantable, thnt a
very high degroo of exasperation must bo pro
duced among tiro pooplo who suffer by theso hos
tilities. Tho fishermen, wo think, where tho odds
are not desperately against them, will resist force
by forco.
YVo mistako if tho British government do not
soo ronson very speedily to regret tlio rash step
they havo taken. YVo bIuiII bo slow to boliovo that
Lord Derby has boon guilty of tho folly of putting
forward thoso absurd pretensions ns a cover to a
Bchomo for fomenting a hostilo feeling botween
tho two countries; ana yot wo havo marked a spirit
nnd a temper running through tho writings nnd
public speeches of many individuals of the high
tory class in England, which would givo color to
such a suspicion. These persons havo displayed
great soreness nt witnessing tho growth of tho re
publican spirit among the inhabitants of British
America, and havo declared it as thoir opinion thnt
nothing but a timely war with tho United States
would savo tho colonies to Great Britain. YVhoth-
or Lord Derby has token this hint, und now at
tacks tho Amorican fishermen, ns a coup d’essai
in advance of more serious hostilo movements,
wo are not prepared to say, but tho result, wo can
predict, will bo anjlhing but profitable or glo
rious to tho nation that is now guided by his counsels. *
Boston, July 20 th, 1852.
To the Editor of the Boston Courier:
Sir:—Sinco my return to tho city this morning 1
have received a copy of a despatch from Mr. Eve
rett, then United States Ministor in London, to
Mr. Buchnnnn, Socrolury of State, which ndds a
very important fouturu to tlio subject of tlio fishe
ries, and which 1 send to you for immediate publi
cation. Youre, very respectfully,
Daniel Webster.
No. 305. London, 23d April, 1845.
James Buchanan, Esq., Secretary of State:
Sir:—With my despatch No. 278. of 25 March,
I transmitted tho noto of Lord Aberdoon of tho
10th of March, communicating tho important in
formation that this government had come to tho
determination to concedo to American tishormcn
tho right of pursuing their occupation within tho
Bay of Fundy. It was left somewhat uncertain by
Lord Aberdeen’s note, whothor this concession
wu3 intonded to ho confined to the Say of Fundy,
or to extend to other portions of tho consts of tho
Anglo-American possessions, to which tho princi
ples contended lor by tho government of tho
United States equally apply, and particularly to
tho wutere on the northeastern shores of Cape
Breton, where tho " Argus” was captured. In my
notes of the 25th ultimo nnd 2d instant, on tho
subject of tho " YVnshington” and tho " Argus,” I
was cureful to point out to Lord Aberdeen that all
tho reasons for admitting tho right of Americans
to fish in tho Bay of Fundy, apply to thoso watore
and with superior force, inasmuch ns thoy are less
landlocked than tho Bay of Fundy, nnd to express
tho hopo that tho concession wus meant to extend
to thorn, which thoro was somo reason to think,
from tho modo in which Lord Aberdoon expressed
himself, was tho cuso.
I received, last evening, tho nnswor of his lord-
ship, informing mo thnt my two notes hud been
referred to tho coloniul ofiico, and thut u final re
ply could not bo returned till ho should bo tnado
acquainted with tho result of that reference; and
thut, in tho meantime, the concession must bo un
derstood to bo limited to tho Bay of Fundy.
Tho merits of tlio question are so clour that I
cannot but anticipate that tho decision of tho co
lonial office will bo in fnvor of tho litoral con
struction of tlio convention. In tho monntimol
beg leave to suggest that, in nny public notico
winch may bo given thut tho Boy of Fundy is
honeeforth opon to Amorican fishermen, it should
be carefully stated that tho extension oi tho samo
privilege to the other great bays on tho coast of
tho Anglo-American dependencies is u mutter of
negotiation botween tho two governments. My
notes of tho 25th of March, and 2d instant, will
suggest the reason for presenting tho uctuui stuto
of tuo controversy in this form.
I am, sir, with great respect,
Your obodient servant,

Crops, Weather, &c.
Tho Alexandria (La.) Republican of tlio 17th
inst. says that tho crops of cotton, corn end sugar in
Ilapidea pariah aro only so so. A month ago thoy
were more promising than thoy are now.
Tho Alexandria (La.) Democrat of tho 14th inst.
says that on tho Saturday previous thoro was a
very sovoro storm in Rapides, extending from a
low point on Bayou Bmuf a considerable distanco
on Bayou Robert. Much corn wus blown down,
and in somo places were evidences of hail. It was
a real nor’westcr.
Tho Caddo Gazette of tho 10th says that tho
planters of that region aro yet exulting in tho pros-
poet of an uncommonly fino cotton crop. Ap-
poaranccs, too, ore in favot of thoir making a crop
of corn such as hns not for many years boon vouch
safed to them.
Tho Mansfield (La.) Advertiser of tho 3d says:
"Within tho last ton days tho planters of DoSoto
parish havo been blessed with about as much rain
as thoy needed and prayed for. Appearances for
nbundnnt crops of corn and cotton could not bo
moro favorablo than they are at present. Mr. T.
W. Brodnax has visited nearly ail the plantations
on tho river this week, and reports tho crops promi
sing boyond anything horotoforo known in tho
parish. Ho estimates tlio com crop at an aver
age of sixty bushels to tho aero ; cotton in propor
tion.”
Tho Palmetto (S. C.) Sentinel says that tho
avorago crop in Barnwell district is a good ono,
though somo planters havo inforior proepocts. Col
ton has, it says, boon much retarded by tho cool
weather lata in Muy, which, in connection with
tho lice, and tremendous rains which rendered the
land so boggy that tlio ploughs could not run, has
greatly injured tho appoarunco of tlio plant. But
there is tiino enough yot to make an oxcellcnt crop,
if tlio working is kept, and tlio fall a Into ono, and
modorutoly dry.
Tho YVashington (Ark) Telegraph speaks in the
most fluttering terms of tho prospects of largo crops
of corn und cotton in south Arkansas. Similar in
telligence roaches us from almost every quarter of
the State. Tlio recent rains appear to have dono an
incalculable good to corn, cotton, &c.
Tho Carrollton (Miss.) Union Flag snys that tho
crops of corn in tlmt section aro exceedingly fino.
For n whilo in tho latter part of Juno, it wns
thought by tlio planters tlmt tho exceeding gront
drought which at tlmt tiino prevailed was suiliciont
to injure tho corn crops to such an extent tlmt tho
injury could not bo repaired. Ilowovot, tlio lato
rains havo entirely repaired tho injury, and there is
a probability of a Inrgo crop. Tho cotton crops in
that country nro as good as usuul, perhaps hotter
than last year. It 1b too early, howover, to mako
any speculations on tho prospects of a largo or a
small crop.

Tlio Outrages at Acapulco.
Tho Now-York Times publishes an Interesting
correspondence botween Soiior Mntildo ltomoro,
Promotor Fiscal of tho district of Gucrorro, Mexi
co, and Francis W. Rico, U. S. Consul, nt tho port
of Acapulco, rolativo to tho imprisonment of tho
latter.
Tho Promotor Fiscal is tho highest prosecuting
offieor of tho Mexican government, his duties cor
responding with thoso of our U. S. District Attor-
nics. Ho oponed tho correspondence by denying a
report thnt ho had advised tho nrrcBt of Mr. Rico,
or thnt tho Moxicnn govommont had any things to
do with it. Ho says ho is ignorant of tho motives
which nctuatod tho judge in imprisoning Mr. Rico,
but ascribes it to a privnto pique.
Mr. Rico, under date of Juno 12, replies that ho
is also ignorant of tlio enuso of his arrest and im
prisonment, nnd then goes on to sny:
Yesterday, at 81 A. M., n gunrd of soldiors, un
der the command of a sergeant, Burroundcu my
houso, tho sorgepnt informing mo thut ho had or
ders irom tho eamirtnndant to tpko mo to prison.
I asked him to produco his ordor, othorwiso that I
should refuso to go but by forco. Hu replied in an
insulting manner, that if I did not como forthwith
ho would drag mo from my houso. I had been sick,
under tho care of Dr. Dinkingo, for fivo days, nnd,
nt tho timo of my wrest, huu scarcely strength to
Btand. YVliilo I wns dressing tho soldiers used tho
most insulting language towards mo, saying, "Lot
us go in and drag huu out if ho docs not como soon—
ho is nothing but n d d Ynnkcc,” nnd conducted
thomsolvcs in such n menacing manner, that my
wifo, who has also been sick for a week past, was
so much frightened os to seriously endanger hor
health, if not hor lifo.
I was marched to tho court house by tho guard of
about fifteen soldiors, and dolivored over to tlio Judge
of tho Court of First Instance, who rofusod to re
ceive mo, saying ho know nothing of tho mnttor.
Tho sorgeant of tho gunrd then produced nn order
from tho Judgo of tho District Court lbr my arrest,
without nientioning^uny enuso for tlio proceeding.
Upon this tho Judgo of First Instance sent to tho
District Judgo for instructions, and nil order came
to imprison mo in tho prison of tho Juzgndo, a little
room, ns you know, of not n dozen foct square,
which isuBcd for drunken men nnd criminals of tho
lowest ordor; which hns noithor window or light,
tind is too filthy for nny man to exist long in, and
which nt that momont had pooplo in it that had
boon picked up benstly drunk in tho streets. Tho
jailor, however, raid he would not tako tho rcsjion-
sibility of confining mo in such a place, but guvo mo
tho uso of his own room.
I havo now boon here 24 hours; ns yot no chargo
hnYing been mndo ngniust mo, no food or wnter
boing givon mo, or bcu to sloop upon, or light. Tho
soldiers havo boon all night in tho door of my room,
whistling, singing nnd talking, although I am now
under tho charge of Dr. Dinkingo, ns my physician,
nnd nm unnblo to hear tho lenst noiBo without pain.
I havo struck my flog—tlio flugof tho United Slates
—closed my office, nnd hereby notify tho military
powor of this division, thnt I Bhnll not opon it again
until so ordored by tho United States government.
Tho Promoter Fiscal replies to tho abovo letter
of Mr. Rice, expressing his regret nt tho outrago,
and assuring him that tho Mexican Govommont
would not allow tho conduct of tfio Judgo to go
unpunished. Ho subsequently demanded of tho
Judgo, in a written protest, tho release of Mr.
Rico.
A stntomont of tho facts of his arrest was subse
quently sent by Mr. Rico to Com. Slont, of tho Paci
fic Squadron, who replied thnt ho wns sorry for tho
situation in which ho was placed, but ho had no
forces at his command to send to his rolcaso. Mr.
Rico’s imprisonment, it will bo remembered, grow
out of tho salo of tho stoamer Com. Stockton, nnd
his throat to shoot'a man who attempted to tear
down a notico in relation to tho ralo, which Mr. R.
had posted upon his own oflico.
Religions Excitement in Great Britain.
Tho Dublin Nation, a loading Irish Roman Ca
tholic journal, thus announces tho nows of tho re
cent Riot nt Stockport, undor tho head of "IIoll
broko looso:”—
"Tho demon of intoloranco is up in England.
"Bloodshed, sacrilege, nnd urson inaugurate tho
opening of tho roign of terror.
“Tho atrocities committed at Stockport' havo
novor boon surpassed in tho wildest outbreak of tlio
old pcnnl times. It only wants tho faggot and tho
gibbet to cumploto tho revival of tho bloody era of
persecution.
"Things tho most sacred havo boon nrofnncd. A
Christian Teinplo hns been sacked unu demolished;
and. horror of ull horrors! tho Holy Sacrament of
Redemption, tho body nnd blood of tlio Savior, vio
lated and trampled in tho mud 1
“Hus Holl opened nnd botched forth armies of
fiends to desccrnto and murder 1
"This is not tho casual oxplosion of mob license.
It is tho work of Protestant rulors. Thoy furnished
tho incentives. Thoy draw tho sword and threat
ened tho altars of of Catholicity. II returning rea
son do not prompt them to chock thoir myrmidons, •
who can say that wo cannot boo tho fires of Smith-
field blazing for Cntholic prelates, nnd tho Tyburn
hurdle groaning with Popish victims before tho your
wanes 1
“Let Ireland bo prepared. Lot hor link hor
strength around the ranctunry. This is no timo for
cnbals and intornooino fouds. In tho namo of re
ligion nnd country, lot tho Catholics of Ireland
confederate and prepare. All other interests sink
into insigniiicanco before tho shadow of tho coining
persecution.
"Hero, nt least, they shall outrage no tnbcmaclo
without n terrible rcsiBtnnco. Thoy shall not
strike nt God except over tho corpso of a nut ion.”
Hero is nn index (says tho Now-York Express)
to the feeling which rocont events havo stirred up
among tho Roman Catholic population in tho Brit
ish dominions. Its antecedents aro tho passngo of
tho Ecclesiastical Titles Bill nnd tho Queen’s Pro
clamation, forbidding tho public colubrntion of
in tho streets, nnd on tho public highways, to which
may now bo added tho declaration, in tho speech
from tho throne, " to uphold tho Protestant institu
tions of tho country, and that civil and religious
liberty which is tho natural result." Tho storm
has long boon gathoring, nnd it looks ns if tho
outbreak ut Stockport was but tho horald of troubles
of a still more portentious ehnrnctor. (Political
excitement, or a struggle for civil liborty, is easier
to overcomo than nn insurrection stirred up by re
ligious frenzy, und fomonted by a crafty fanaticism.
In tho ono caso mon fight only os patriots; in tho
other, liko dcmonB.
And now tlio question may bo raked, what hns
Christianity,—gonuino Christianity,—to do with all
this? Nothing at nil. Tho teachings of .tho incok
and lowly Jesus aro not inculcated or enforced by
such languago ns that used abovo. His church on
earth is not a church to bo established or strength
ened by tho atrocious outrages at Stockport. Chris
tian charity recoils from ono nnd tho other, ra Vir-
tuo recoils from Vico. YVlien our missionaries toll
of these things to tho honlhon in otiior lands, wo
four they will concludo that British Christianity,
cnllcd, is no hotter tlinn it Bhould bo.

Extra Session op the Mississippi Legislature.
Gov. Foote, of Mississippi, hns cnllcd nn extra
session of tho Legislature of that Stato, to assetn-
blo on tho first Monday of Octobor, to district tlio
State, adopt measures to replenish tho treasury, and
to tako steps to urgo forward certain works of in
ternal improvement.
To Make Mosqueitoes Leave.—Tio a pioco of
flnnnol or spongo to a thread mado last to tho top
of tho bedstead 5 wet tho flannel or spongo with
camphorated spirits, and tho mosquitoes will leave
the room.
C3T Wo would call especial attention to tbo nsw ad
vertisement in our columns of the Mexican Mustano
Liniment. This nrllclo has been before tlio Amorican
people about threo years. Over flvo millions of bottles
havo been sold nnd used for a great variety of complaints,
nnd It has always given satisfaction, because It hns per
formed Just wlint It wns rocomuiendod for. It allnys Irri
tation nnd Inflammation, reduces swelling#, discusses
tumors nml heals ulcers, cancers, or recent sores and
wounds. In cliroulo rheumatism it Is almost a spoclflc.
Tho Immonxo sales of this Llnlmonl, nnd tho testimony
of ton’s of thousands of persons who havo boon cured by
It, nresufllcloiil ovidenco of tho truth of tho groat valuo
of this preparation.
Every physician thoreforo should givo It n fair trial bo-
fore pronouncing Judgment upon It. Tills la nil wo ask,
nnd what wo claim os our right. As wo profess to havo
a sclontlflc femody, prepared from substances whoso lo
cal and gunornl effects we havo tested, both sepnrato and
combined, in n great variety of disorders, nml tho resells
havo satisfied us of tho truth of tho thoorle# wo bnvo nd-
vnuced, nnd tho assertions wo havo mndo in relation to
ts booling and curative powers. stu 3mo July 24
