bama, Capt. Ludlow, 'will leave New York for this

Ma. Editor;—Thousands are this day wishing
each other happy New Year; I wish them all true
happiness,and respectfully ask all who may readyour
paper, to adopt the following Bible Pledge :
THE CHRISTIAN UNION AND BIBLE PLEDGE.
“We, tho undersigned promise, by divine assis
tance, to abstain from everything hurtjul and unne-
eettary to do to othera as we wish them to do to
us, making the Bible to L-e tho rule of our faith and
practice.”
Tho Hun. Henry Clay, the Hon. Judge McLean, add
many othera in the city of Washington, have signed
the above Pledge; also, It has been signed In Balti
more, Philadelphia, and other cities.
This Pledge, is recommended to people of all
creeds and all political opinions. Should the Roman
Catholic brother object, on account of the rulea
of hit church being emitted, he may enjoy hia own
Bible and the traditions of his Church.
The present new year will be n very suitable
time to comtnenco a reform. Should all tho popu
lation of the United States and Great Britain adopt
this Pledge and keep it, the vast amuunt ot property
that would be saved, would aunply the wants of all
the poor, and iurnieh the means of christaln instruc
tion to the population of tbo world. And what is of
greater importance, It would aave eighty thousand
persons annually from a drunkard's grave and a
miserable eternity; also, prevent most Crimea and
sufferings.
The Ministers of Religion and the teachers of the
rltlng race, with all rulers, and the whole population,
are respectfully called upon to exert their Influence
to promote this Christian Union and great moral re
formation.

The Lind Alenin In CharleBton.
Our Charleston neighbors pride themselves on tf*e
fact that while they were not lacking In enthusiastic
admiration for the character and talent* ol Jenny
Lind, they did not commit any of those ridiculous
absurdities, so degrading to the American character,
by which the people of some oi our cities have sig
nalised themselves in their receptions and abject
worship of the charming songstress. In this respect
Charleston is certainly entitled to some credit. Their
conduct haa vindicated the character ot American
cities, so for a* her cxaoiplo la concerned, from the
reproach tfhlch justly attaches to the ridiculous scenes
which have been enacted in New York and Boaton
But there were exception* to the rule of sober pro
priety In Charleston, which go to prove that even
the chivalry were not entire proof against the fasci
nation of the Queen of Song, and that even Charles
ton people are capable of being ridiculous, under cir
cumstance* of peculiar aggravation. The following
Incident, related to us by a friend who was an eye
witnesaofthe fact will, we think, sustain ua in this
assertion.
On Friday last, Jenny Lind, while returning irom
rehearsal, managed to evade the vigilance of those
who were on the watch for her—for the purpose as
we suppose, of seeing how so divine a creature
would look,walking upon the ground,without wings,
like common people—and avulled heraelt ol the op
portunity to visit Cameron’s China Ware-rooms, on
Meeting street, to see some very bountiful statu*ry
there. Jenny, supposing herself unknown, seemed
for a time quite as much absorbed in admiration of
the work* of art before her as were those present in
secret admiration of hersoll. A little statuette ot ex
quisite workmanship attracted her attention. She
took it in her bands and raised it close to her tac o.
By this time tho room had become wronged witli per
sons who, uuder pretence of looking at the statuary,
had their eyes rjvited on Jenny, tutentlv watching
her every movement. Perceiving that she was ob
served, Mia* Lind put down the little figure (of Cu
pid we believe) which she bad been aoclosely scruti
nizing and took her departure. 3 he crowd, with
auspended breath, each with one eye on her retiring
from and the other on the little statuette, waited only
till she leached the door, when, with one impulse-
they rushed upon the figure. In their effort to get the
first ictaa, a dozen no9es came in viulent contact.
"Mine—first kiss!’’ exclaimed the Genin of tho
party.
••Second'bestl" shouted tho fortunate Dodoe, as
betook his bps from the figure.
Each in turn pressed it to his lips, enraptured with
an enthusiasm of delight truly astonishing. The secret
of the maiter was that the party were under the im
pression that Jenny had herself kissed the stutuette.
This, our friend, who stood nearly in front of her,
•ays is not the tact. But be that as it may—the man
who got the first kiss, at the risk of his nose, is at a
premium among his acquaintances, and it would be a
rather perilous business for one to assert, in the pres-
enceof any one of the party, that Jenny Lind did
not kiss that statuette.
The fugitive slave case in New York, of
which we have publiahei some account, is not yet de
termined. There Beams a settled purp >se on the
part f tho abolitionists to throw every possible
legal obstacle in the way of the execution of the law.
We look for the decisiuo of this case with interest.—
There seems to be no question of the identity of the
slave, and tho whoie turns upon its technical merits.
It will thoroughly test the efficiency of the luw for
tho protection of the rights olthe South.
Getting through the world in a hurry.—
A gentleman arri -ed in this city yesterday morning
in toe steamer Florida, who left Norwich, Conn., on
Friday evening, having travelled a distance of near
ly 1000 miles in three days and four nights. At this
rate it would have taken the children of Israel,
something teas than forty years to have traversed
the Wilderness. In -these days of st ajn-cars and
stcam-ebips, a man can travel a greater distance in
one year, and may travel over more ground in that
time than did the travellers of Father Abraham's
time in a life of centuries.
[From the New York Sun.]
More British Outrnccn ! Blockade of 8nn
Salvador.
Advicca from Leon do Nicaragua of tho date of
Nov. 18, represent that a British squadron is block
ading the port of Situ Salvador, and that the ports ot
Nicaragua are likewise threatened, on account of an
alleged seizure of the property of a man calling him
self a Morqitito merchant. This man is named Bos-
chur.and is now acting os Collector ol’San Junn under
a commission fromthe English authorities. He dis
appeared •' between two dsys,’’ from this city, some
seven years ago, carrying off property to the amount
of some thousand dollar*.
The history of the blockade of the porta of San
Salvador is n beautiful illustration of British policy,
In Centra, Arne lea. It is for the improvements of a
man named Idigoras, a citizen of Salt Salvador,
whom Chatfield had taken the liberty of appointing
Vice-Consul. Thie man, preemning upon the immu
nities which he conceived attaches to his apn nnt
ment, grossly insulted the President, for which he
was arrested by the police, and locked up for some
days. The Government of San Salvador takes tho
position that no citizen of tho State acquires immu
nities in consequence of utiy appointment which he
may receive from a foreign agent, and, consequent
ly, refuses to p»y the claim of some thousands of
dollars, which Mr. Cbutfield has set up in his beha'f.
The British government also insists that San Salva
dor is not a sovereign state, and thst it bus no right
to collect oil imports, and requires that it shall refund
the duties which huve been levied upon the goods of
British merchants. This San Salvador very justly
refuses to do; and aoa British fleet blockades its beat
ports, und brings great distress upon its inhabitants.
The threatened blockade of Nicaragua is on account
ot a pretendpd Mosquito claim.
Now, if this swindling Beschor, i t a Mosquitian
subject, what m tile world has Great Britain to do
with hia claim 1 It’Great Britain has given up her
Mosquitain protectorate, as the Bulwer and Webster
organa tell ua, how is it she is enforcing twopenny
Mosquitian claims? Let these Scions answer this
question.
We learn thnt on the 15th of last month there were
about 1 000 Americans in Nicaragua, that a number
of vessels was expected with more If this emigra
tion continues long, it will take several Webster*,
und . n infinite number of Bulwers. to fasten British
authority on Central America.. We trust every Ame
rican in that country will neither defer to, nor in any
way regard English'authority.
If British agents interfere with them, let them re
sist, and, if compelled to it, let them treat them as
they would a pirate or highway robber. This will
bring the question toantasue and we shall see il
the soft soap of an English diplomatist will triumph
over the honor and manhood ot the American people.
Many people deceive themselves with a belief, that
our government will, by and-by, do its duty n the
mutter. Hut this “by-nrid-by” style is not the wuy
the honor and interests of this republic should be
guarded and maintained. Promptness is what
makes a Government and people respected. Slow
diplomacy, and the intrigues of diplomacy, may do
very well to strengthen the power of Governments
against the popular will, but our people, we hope,
will not submit to the same kind of diplomatic
scheming which has been practised so successfully
upon the people of Europe. A bold, open, honest,
straight-forward policy is what becomes this coun
try, anu the people must not tolerale any other. Let
Daniel Webster, then, without bundying national
compliments with an English minister, mantully
ask him what aia Government means, and let him
tell him. too, thnt this Government means to toler
ate no English interference or control in the affairs
of the Republics and people of Central America.

JJp’ Gen. 8cott and the Presidency.— The
friends of Gen. Scott us the Whig candidate for th e
Presidency, held a meeting at Harrisburg on Satur
day evening last, at which Cppt-JatiN P. Ruther
ford presided. Major Sanders, who served under
Gen. 8cott during the last war with Great Britain,
and Stephen Miller,Esq., addressed the meeting.
A movement has also been made by the abolition,
ista and free sutlers of New York in favor of Gei-
Scott. A Washington coi respondent ot the New
York Express, says;—“Gen. Scott would have been
sadly damaged here, tho present winter, if such a
roan could be damaged, by the Abolitiouists and Free.
Boilers, that have taken him up in order to run Mr
| Fillmore, and the present Administrations down.
Gen. Scott has also been nominated for the Presi
dency in Delaware. The editor ofthe Express says;
Gen. Scott is not a man to be used by any Aboli.
tion schemers.
Released,Califoenians—The Baltimore Sun
of Saturday, speaking ofthe arrival in that city of the
passengers by the Ohio, from Norfolk, aays:—
Among them there was a number of returned Cali
fornia miners, and we are sure the sight ol some of
them would effectually cure the m >st violent attack
of California fever. Their clothing was not only
tattered and torn, but their constitutions seemed to
have fared still worse—the former, they eoon reno-
voted with the aid of their bags of gold dust, but the
latter seemed beyond repair.
They all appeared to have sufficient gold dust for
present wants, but none were overstocked, and all
could prohabiy have accumulated much more In the
lame length of time in tbe pursuits of every Say life
at home. Most oftbern werenorthern men,and took
etr departure in the cars for Philadelphia at 11
block yesterday morning, Mr. Crawford having to
uses pair of scales in computing the value ofthe
gold dust tendered and received for passage money.
Fugitive Slave Case in Springfield.—A man
from Schenectady, N. Y„ went to Springfield, a few
days since and claimed a tilack woman who resided
there, married and With a family, as a slave. She
was taken before Geo. Bliss, Esq., where the claim
was established, according to tho law in such cases.
The Woman was given up as the claimant's property,
when screral bonevolcnt citizens, obtained terms,
clubbed, together, and purchased her of her master
for the sum ol $100. This says the Republican,is the
operation of the fugitive eiave law in Springfield—
There was no excitemiytk or disturbance. The law
was allowed to take ite course. Very fair for Spring-
tieid I
