other of these, in oonneetion with tho western end of
the Brunswick road, to the Savannah market.
Another point we have only room to suggest. In
tho event of the ftdlnre of the Brnnswiokschome—
whioh its friends seem not to fear—from Montloello,
a point on our road through Middle Florida to Thom-

Post Blaster at Savannah.
The commission of Post Master at Savannah, was
received by Mr. Cohbn, two or three days since. He
will, wo presume, enter forthwith upon tho dlacbargo
of the duties of the office.
We need not hesitate to aay that we regard the ap
pointment as a good one. Tho ciroumstaucos under
which it was conforad make it tbe more honorable to
him who has received it. The first intelligence
that Mr. Cohen had, that hla narao had been before
tho Cabinet in connection with the place, was
contained In two telogrephio despatches received at
the same time,—the one inquiring If he would accept
it, tho other coupling with tho same inquiry, the an
nouncement of his appointment. It is a post to which
he has well entitled himself by his services to the par
ty : Its duties he will doubtless faithfully perform.
. Won, Is Inlfoe following words :
.V JtmM, that this Convention propose tint the
eastern terrain ui of the Georgia and Pensacola Railroad
■ball be on tbe Una of this State, east or the Allapaliaw
river and.crt>«a the counties of Hamilton, Madison, Jeffer-
. eon, Leon and Gadsden, as far south as their respective
county sites. If such routs he practicabls.
’ The puhllo will do well’ to remember that all that
conventions can do, and all that newspapers can do,
towards fixing the lines of railroads and tho points of
oonneetion between railroads is to suggest. The de
termination of thene questions rests neither with con
ventions nor.with newspapers, but with stockholders,
Savannah desires to unite herself by railroad with
Pensacola. This work, if done, must bo done under
two distinct organizations, tho ono irnido under a
charter granted by Georgia, tbe other under a charter
granted by Florida. Our Florida friends bavo already
a charter for the connection of Pensacola with tho
Georgia line, in the direction of Savannah. Upon
the assembling of our Legislature Savannah expects
to obtain a charter for tbe connection or herself with
the Florida line, in the direction of Pensacola. To ac
complish their work these roads must unite on the
line dividing the two States. At what .point on that
line this Junction is to be made will be determined
in the last resort by the strockholdore ot the two
companies. That it will be so determined os to meet
tho wishes of tho great body of the people of Middlo
and West Florida, and at tho samo time, in the high
est degree, promote the interests of this city, we con
fidently believe.

- A meeting of tho Bar, of this city and comity, was
hold yesterday, at 1P. M., at the Court House, to pay
a tributo of respect to the lute Cuaulks E. Tbkrt,
Esq. Tho Hon. Henry R. Jackson presided, uud
Wm. S. Basi.vuek, Esq., acted as Secretary.
The Hon. Cius. S. Henry, after a preamble, in
which the life and virtues of tho deceased were ap
propriately and affectionately noticed, offered a scries
of resolutions,in accordance therewith, which feeling
ly oxpress tho respect entertained for a departed
brother, who, while living, adorned every relationship
of life, and dying leaves a bright example of Chris
tian fortitude and hope.
In Becoudlug the resolutions, IIenry M. Law, Esq.,
paid a feeling and faithful tribute to tho life of tho de
ceased, after which tho resolutions were unanimously
adopted, and tho meeting adjourned.
We regret, hayjng received the proceedings at too
late au hour lost night for publication.
intonftt hnd saUatoction, and I regret that, in consd-
quetioe of tho multiplied demands on my time, I shall
not bo able now to write yon as folly aa I could wish
oathe several subjects to which yoaiak my attention,
as alao in reference to other matters—important both
to our foreign end domostio interests—which I de
signed, by this opportunity, submitting to your con
sideration. I hope, however, to be able shortly to
write to yon again, when I shall have more time at
oommsnd.
Your remarks in reference to the possibility of be
ing ablo soon to inform ua of the recognition of the
Independence ol this Republic by the Government of
the United States, are both gratifying and encourag
ing ; still, air, I confess—haviiig been so often disap
pointed in my hopes in regard to this matter—I have
now but little expectation of seeing our wishes, in
this respect, realized in any very short period. You
already know my feelings on this subject; and, for
reasons I have again and again stated, how deeply I
regret tho Indifference of your Government towards
Liberia,* I therefore need not trouble yon here with
further, remarks !u regard to it, except perhaps to
say, that, while it is true Liberia, at present, holds no
important position in tho consideration of foreign
nations, and that, as yet, her commerce la very lim
ited, holding out bnt few inducements to merchants
abroad; yet, sir, it is not less truo that she is steadl-
lygrowing into Importance, and that her commerce
is rapidly increasing, arid whioh, I doubt not, in a
fear years will bo worth looking after by more than
one, or even two, of the great manufacturing and
commercial nations of the day. Believe me, sir, with
a continuance of the blessings of heaven, a hundred,
nay fifty, years hence, Liberia will occupy a portion,
and claim a consideration, beyond what her most
sanguine friends at present anticipate. Time, how
ever, Is the great demonstrator, and In regard to your
conviction of a sppedy recognition by theUuitcd
Htutcs, wc shall see, porlmps, what a year will bring
forth.

Oaptthjjiyncb arrived hero a oonple or foreeweehi .
ago, and mado a abort excursion—some fifteen,folios •-
twilit mo up Hie 8f. Paul’s river, Ho was greatly
pleased with the appearance of tbe country, and, if
posllblo, etlll more delighted at tbe flourishing con
dition of the settlements, extending for mllea, on elfo*
er.ialde of tbe banka of that beantlfol stream. I fold
not visited our inland settiementa for a year or two,
therefore, after parting with Captain Lynch, who bad
to return tp his. ship tho same evening, I extended
my trip to Mil/abury, and I assure yon, sir, I have
never been more pleased, or felt greater satisfaction
and encouragement, in regard to tho future prosperity
or Liberia, than during tbM. visit. Tbe improvements
In tho character, comfort and duriblllty of the build
ings, the lucreased size of the farms, and improve
ment in the mode or agriculture, the hum and bustle
of a dozon firick yards, the thrifUness and general
happy appearance of the people were all pleasing and
gratifying Indications of-permuneut advancement.
Captain Lynch’s present object, as you are aware,
is only a preliminary investigation with the view of
obtaining correot information in regard to the great
est facilities and best routes for penetrating into the
interior with tho least hazard. He will of oourse visit
all tho rivers betwixt this place and Cape Palmas, to
satisfy hinwelf os to the facilities afforded by river
oouraes, Ac., Ac. But we already kuow the rivers in
Liberia are only navigable for a short dlstauce—say
twouty.five or thirty miles—therefore, 1 think, of ne
cessity, his course must be by iuland routes. And my
impression is to tako his departure from the head of
tide water of the Bt. Pauls, will bo his best course.—
In that direction tho influence of the Government ex

U. 8. Review.—Tho number for June Is before us.
It opons with a long and well written article on “The
Social and Political state of Europe,’’ which is follow
ed with “ The Age of Humbug,” “Six Weeks in the
Moon,” Ac. “ A chapter on Political Economy” is
written in on attractive vain of humor and BarchoAm
which will secure it a reading aside from tho moral
which it teaches. Tho Rcvinn prefers claims upon
tho politician and scholar which we are glad to know
are being liberally answered.
zation, the report of Mcbsts. Berrien,
Cdylkb and Anderson was adopted with great
unanimity. After stating the purposo of stock
holders present to build to the Alataraaba in the vi-
cinity of Doctor .town, thence in tho direction of
Pensacola to a point in Decatur county, on the north
ern boundary of Florida, tho report added :
That it is further our purposo, if the people of
Middle Florida dcsiro to uuite with us, by meeting us
on tho Northern lino of their State at a point East
ward of the county of Decatur, in the county of Ham
ilton, or at some more eligible point, with a subscrip
tion of at least eight hundred thousand dollars, aud
with a view of taking Middle Florida, on the way to
Pensaoola—«o to divert our Hue, abovo described, as
to meet their views.
With this declared "purpose” of Savannali be
fore them, tho people of Middlo Florida in Convention
assembled, have offered to comply with the condi
tions laid down by this city, and subscribing $800,000
to fix the point of connection ot Hamilton county.—
Under the terras' which Savannah proposed, they
might have insisted that tho Junction should be mid
way on* the Hamilton line, or even further eostou
that line; instead of which to cross into Florida
" east Of the Aiapaba river” need require the road
to pass the State boundary not more than about one
third of the way from the westerato the eastern limit
of the county designated. To cross tho Alapaha in
Florida, will, wo are assured,make the road but one
„or two miles longer than to pass through tho extreme
north-western corner of Hamilton.
A strong reason urged in the Tallahassee Conven
tion, for designating the point for crossing cast of tho
Allapaba, was, that that river might bo passed in
Florida by a singlo bridge of easy construction, while
to cross Us different prongs on the Georgia side would
require a heavy expenditure of money. As to this
consideration and others involved, tho publlo will bo
better able to estimate them, when tho surveys are
made.
. We may observe generally, that iu rccommendiug
that our road from this city on its way to the Gulf, en
ter Flbrida in Hamilton, our Southern neighbors,
while looking especially to their own welfare, bavo
designated the very county which a regard to tho fu
turo interests of Savannah would determine her to
■elect, if the whole line of our sister State were put at
her disposal. Sho thus, for tbe present, secures a
rood through the Middle and Western districts to the
Gulf at Pensacola, and joins with her tbe ruling pow
er of Florida, by tbe strong bonds of interest, in op
position to any rival road to the same western termi
nus through those districts. We shall thus command'
immediately and for all ttmo, without a rival, the
trade of Middlo and West Florida.
Looking to the future, we have to remark that from
Hamilton stretches out southward, the immense pen
insula, which hereafter must distinguish Florida, by
the character and variety of Its rich products, from all
other portions of our Union. Immediately Bouth of
Hamilton lies Colombia, and then follow the Ponln-
aula counties—Alachua, Marlon, Hernando aud Hills
borough—embracing perhaps, in many respects, the
most delightful region upon which tbe sun ever shone.
In the remotest of these, are tbe dl^niflcent waters
of Tampa Bay, containing one of the finest ports in
the western world. There, at no distant day, must
■prlng up a populous city. Once in Hamilton, wo
command tbe whole of this region of prospective
wealth and power. It Is thence open to us (we speak
figuratively of course) whenever we may choose to
enter upon and possess it. The presence or proximi
ty of Indian savages has hitherto strongly repelled
emigrants, anxious to go there, from a point to which
climate and soil and products bo strongly invited
them. Nevertheless Alachua, 3farion and Uornando
are rapidly settling. Charleston has found it worth
her while to send two Bte&mera np the St. Johns to
compete with Savannah for their trade. Much of it
■he has wrested from us already; more she hopes to
appropriate. Having appropriated, nothing but a
Railroad from Savannah cans natch it from her grasp.
In conclusion, we say again, that if the whole north
ern line of Florida from the St. Marys to tho Perdido
were at onr disposal, there is no point so inviting for
* the entrance by Railroad from Savannah os that which
the Floridians, with an eye to their own interests,
have offered us.
A word in relatlou to tho claims of Lowndes, Tho-
mas, Decatur and Baker counties. It may be sail
that they will bo improperly neglected by running
tbe road through Middle Florida. We reply that
they will be amply provided for by tho construction
of tbe Brunswick road—passing as it will (as located)
through ThomaavlUe, with a branch from that point
to Albany. The planters of those coantics, having
given their notes for the payment of their anhscrip-
tlons to that enterprize, will not feel very grateful
to Savannah for running a rood through their coon*
tlea by the side of it, so as to make worthless their
■lock/ As for uniting the two, wo have the published
atatement of President Foot that that will not be per
mitted by the Brunswick company. Tho Georgia
■tockbolden in the latter work will, it is to be pre
sumed, moch prefer that Savannah, if determined on
buUdfog % toad;shall', after crossing tho other, pass
on through Middle. Florida, so near to the Gulf as to
oomppfo as . little u possible with that to wliioh they
have :sobsoribdd. When''the people of Lowndes,
Baker and Decatur reach the point of crossing, the
way will be 9P*n to them to come to thli city If they
no elect. If they prefer another market, ought we

I have but little doubt—Indeed, it appears to mo,
a question settled—that tho General Government, as
also tbe State Governments, must and will, and that
shortly too, in some way, come to tho aid of the So
ciety, either by a grant of money, in some shape or
other, or by affording snch facilities for tho transport
ation of emigrants os will enable the Society to carry
on its operations without serious embarrassment—
But tho claims of Liberia, I fear, will remain long un
heeded. Still I shall continue to hope.
I thank you, sir, very slacorely for tho ten hogs
heads of tobacco, you were good enough to order for
us by tho bark Shirley. They will reliovo us much
In our presont embarrassments. The loss of tbo |
goods you kindly sent by tho Ralph Cross, to aid tho
Government in tbe discharge of its liabilities, incur
red on account of the expedition against Grundo and
Bowyer, and for the payment of territory, is seriously 1
felt. I had hoped the insurance would have been
recovered, aud you enabled, by that means, to have
re-pluccd them. This, however, you inform roe, is
doubtful, in consequence of tho vessel" having reach
ed Monrovia Bafely, tho port to which the goods for
tho Republic were consigned, aud theu having gone
to Bnssa and Cape Palmas, and there wrecked,” that
" tho vessel made her voyage In safety and ought to
lmve landed her cargo 1 ” This, my dear sir, appears
to be sonnd reasoning. But, os I am assured, the
captain of the Ralph Cross, on his arrival here. In
formed tho consignees that hla orders peremptorily
required him to proceed to Bassa und Capo Palmas
before lauding any of the goods ho had on board for
this place. Now, if it be true that such were hla in
structions, it is exceedingly unfortunate that the
goods were not insured accqrdingly. However, you
know best about this matter. But I nin Borry to learn
your funds are too limited Just now to allow you to
supply entirely this loss. I doubt not, however, you
will do what you can to aid us in our difficulties—
perhaps you will mako an extra effort in our behalf.
I assure you, sir; I regret very much this constant
complaining ol pecuniary embarrassment, as alao tho
necessity of soliciting aid from tbo 8ocioty. But it 1b
tho result of circumstances beyond our control
against which wo could not provide—and not the
waut of strict economy on tho part of tho Government
iu tho disbursement of public monies.
The difficulties and expenses into which the Gov-
This measure of the United States Government is
vastly important to tho interests of Liberia, in what
ever light, considered; and to Africa, especially in
respect to civilization and Christianity, of the greatest
importance. I assure you, sir, we are all deeply in
terested fo tlie success of Captain Lynch, and every
facility that can he afforded by tbo Government aud
people here will bo readily extended to him. I trust
Congress will adopt the suggestions, fully contained
in the report ofthe Secretary of the Navy, in regard
to tills exploration, and that President Pierce and his
Cabinet will favor the enterprise. I am very anxious
to know the feelings of the present administration—
or that will be In a lew days, In regard to Liberia—
and wlrnt favor wo may expect tho ensuing four years.
And haven’t wo good right to hope and expect as
much from the United States as from any other Gov
ernment?
I am pleased at tho effort you propose to make In
regard to tho Liberia Herald. I am indeed ashamed
of Its present appearance, and shall fed greatly
obliged if you will send us, by the earliest opportuni
ty, a set of new typo, some ink and paper—if
pledgo myself to do all I can to make it more respec
table in appearance, and of greater interest to its
readers.
Mr. Dennis will, doubtless, write yon fully in regard
to tho immigrants lately arrived. Wo are much pleas
ed with the general appearance of the two companies
for this county; they are mostly farmers and me
chanics, and seem to understand what is necessary in
a new country, and but ono or two exceptions, are
delighted with their new homes. Mr. Dennis lraa
managed to house them comfortably, aud they are all
I believe, doing remarkably well; most of them, per
haps all—except two very old men, two women, and
three children—have passed successfully through the
first attack of fever, and wltli reasonable care, have
nothing now to fear. The fact Is, sir, the terror of
African fever seemB almost to have passed away. To
be sure somo suffer yet very considerably, but tbo
cases are comparatively few, and in most of these,
the casts may be traced ratber to imprudence tban
the effects of climate. Tho local causes of disease are
yearly beiug removed, and I look forward to the time,
and that not very distant—if we can only procure tho
means ol opening tho country—when African fever
will uo longer be an obstacle iu the way of emigra
tion. Mr. Dennis bus consulted with me about in
creasing the sizo of tho receptacle, for emigrants, nt
the Virginia Settlement, by adding another story to
the building. 1 think well ofhls suggestion, and have
advised him to proceed with tho work without delay.

At this time the troops wore marched across Craig-

the other some hundred paces nearer Cniig at. A good
deal of hooting aud noise prevailed at this time, and
on the McGUl-st, side of Cralg-at., some disturbance
with tbo lowest lino of troops occurred, and two or
three shots were fired; In uthcr respects, all seemed
peaceable. , . ..
Wo were at this time, at tho corner of St. James’s

heard aud saw tbe troops (Ire two distinct, running

scene ol wanton and uncalled for slaughter.

nation with which wo saw British truops deliberately

Reports concerning the state ofthe crops are very
extraordinary. The Civilian and Gazette, however,
says:
" The crops, as far ns we have intelligence, ore vory
promising, throughout tho State. Somo parts or them
are very backward from lute planting, but all are
vigorous and thriity. The amount of laud iu cultiva
tion this year greatly exceeds that or the post or any
preceding seasnu. During a recent visit to tbe couu-
try. we were charmed with the many new fields and
farms in cultivation. We saw enclosures, many of
them several hundred acres in extent, and ono ol
them a thousand, exhibiting with a luxuriant growth
of corn and cotton, on ground which lust December,
when we last saw it, was only a fenceless prairie,
which a plow bad never penetrated, and on which
grass and flowers had beeu the only growth for a
thousand years.”

Death of Major General Riley.
A telegraphic dispatch in onr columns this morning
announces tne death oT that gallant officer, Mqjor
General Bennct Riley. He was a native of Maryland,
and served with distinction in the war of 1812. From
the post of Ensign, to which he was appointed on the
10th January, 1813, he rose by regular gradation to
the rank ho held at his death. His servicestn Mexico
wore of a distinguished character. At Contreras he
led tbo assailingjparty on both;days,and finally carried
the works with the bayonet in a style which has rare
ly been surpassed. During the whole of those event
ful days, his Brigade endured hardships, and perform
ed actions worthy of a piaco besides the wildest re
cords ofchivoly. General Peraifor F. Smith thuB
speokes of it:
“ The opportunity afforded to Col. Riley by his po-
« tinn was seized by that gallant veteran with all the
skill and energy for which ho is distinguished. The
charge of his noble Brigade down tho slopo in foil
view of friend and foe, unchecked oven fora moment,
until ho has planted all his colors upon their farthest
works was a spcctaclo that animated tho army to tho
boldest deeds,”
Similar, says one of hla biographers, was tho con
duct of Col. Riley iu the bnltlo along tbe aqueducts
leading to tho capital. He stormed Borne of the ene
my’s positions, and on the night of tbe 13th of De
cember, 1847, had arrived before the principal gate.—
He entered Mexico next morning In company with
the Commander-in-chief, and remained for some time
at tbe bead of hla troops in the capital. He was after
wards appointed by President Polk Military Governor
of California, aud called tbe famous Convention that
adopted in November, 1849,the constitution which waa
submitted to Congress ; and by tbe act of that body
consequent thereon, In September 1850, California
was admitted into full memuenhJp as one of the Uni
ted States.—Chas. Courier.

the slave trade, and to pnuish cruel outrages commit
ted on its citizoua by certain native chiefs, conid not
lie avoided. And besides this, it is little imagined j
the enormous expense the Government is constantly
nt in the employment of commissioners to settle dis
putes and tcvmlnato wars, continually arising be
tween tho surrounding nativo'tribes,andtho frequent
necessity of military force to keep these in oheck,
and afford protection to other tribes, und tho persons
and property of our citizens. Still I had ho]>ed and
fully expected, by tho close of the present year, to be
ablo to dischargo every claim agalnBt the Govern
ment. But in this, I fear, I shall bo disappointed by
an unexpected out-break among tho Chiefs, of Little
Capo Mount, which forces upon the Government the
necessity of sending a body of men there, with as lit
tle delay ns possible, to prevent the further cflhsion
of blood—indeed, the desolation ofthe country.
For time past, disputes and feuds of a most
obstinate character havo existed between certain Vcy
and Golah Chiefs, occupying portions of that territo
ry ; and, as you are probably aware, the Government
has again and agaiu exerted its influence to reconcile
the parties and restore peace and harmony; and to
effect an object so desirabio, In February. 1851, at the
instance of tho Government, a Council of tbo Chiefs
was held at Little Cape Mount, which I attended,
when and where they individually and for their ro-
spoctivo clans, pledged themselves to s^pond hostili
ties forever, and that nil existing causes of dispute
should then and there bo abandoned, and should
others arise in future, they should bo referred to tbe
Government for settlement. Boorabo, however, ono
ofthe Vey Chiefs, in a few months afterwards, be
came restless and renewed his depredations. Tho
Government again interposed, and ordered an assem
blage of tho Chiefs, at Monrovia, where Boombo's
conduct, aud tho matters in dispute, might be thor
oughly investigated and adjusted. Having spent
some days in hearing their several complaints, the
Council terminated, aa was supposed, satisfactory to
all concerned, and the Government had good reasons
to believe that tho arrangument was effectual and
lasting. Each party oledged himself by solemn com
pact, never again to disturb tbo peace of tho country
—they agreed never again to make war against each
other, and to accept tho mediation and arbitration of
tho Government for the termination of their mutual
differences. It was also agreed that should cither
party violate his engagement the Government should
act offensively against tho offending party till it was
reduced to obedience. Until about tho middle of last
year, during my absence, strong hopes were enter
tained that tbo rancorous feelings which had so long
subsisted between these Chiefs were effectually re
moved ; but Boombo, at tho time referred to, threat
ened to revive the war. As soon as this intelligence
reached the authorities, measures were again adopted
by tbe Government to avert, if possible, so sad a
calamity. All the Chiefs wore promptly invited to
repair to Monrovia, that tbo cause of those threats
might be Investigated. Dwtor-loo-bab, the threatened
Chief, lost no timo In obeying the call of the Govern
ment, and while here ono of bis towns was attacked,
captured, sacked, and burned, and many of tbe in
habitants murdered. Still tho Government, anxious
to avoid tho necessity o( using military force, deter
mined to mako another oonoltiatory effort, and dis
patched commissioners to Boombo to admonish him
ofthe evil he was bringing upon himself and people,
and, If poralblo, divert him from tho couraohewas
pursuing. But thoso friendly admonitions were re
ceived contemptuously, tho commissioners insulted,
and tbo authority ofthe Government rejected and de
fied. In this attitude Boombo has remainod—making
occasional attacks on Dwur-loo-bah and Tom Gnqj, till
within a few days past, when—emboldened it may be
by tho forbearanco of the Government to employ mil
itary force against him—he extended his depredations
into the Dey Country, almost in sight of some of oar
settlements, barning towns and Tillages, and mur
dering scores ofthe inoffensive inhabitants,as well as
robbing several factories established there, owned by
merchants of this place. Thus you see, sir, but one
alternative appears to-bo loft us—for this state of
things must not longor exist, if so, tho influence and
authority of tbe Government is at an end, and the
most dissstrons results may be expected. BtUl it is
our purpose to avoid, if possible, a conflict, I pro
pose, in a few days, visiting Little Cape MonnU-tak-
ing with me a sufficient number of men to enforce
respect and obedienoe to the laws of tbe-Government
in cose of need—and have requested all the ohiefe in
that country to meet me there to ” talk foe palaver,”
and if, by any means, a peacable adjustment can be
had, ahd suitable ■ reparation made, with' proper se
curity, on the part of Boombo, to' keep' the peace,
well—if not, fo« offending party mnst bo expolled the
oonntry.

Importance is, to havo tho emigrants together while
being acclimated, that the physician could have them
more immediately under his control and attention.—
I liopo my advice will meet your approbation.
I am happy to be able to inform you that onr af
faire generally are ia as good condition and as pros
perous as could reasonably bo expected. Wo have
had no further difficulties with tho Ashmen,or with
Bowyer, nor do we anticipate any. The late chas
tisement with which they were visited has fully con
vinced them of tho power of tho Govornmont to main
tain its authority, ntid 1 think wo shall havo no more
troublo in that quarter. It has been thought advisa
ble to continue Bowyer and tho Tradctown territory
under the law of the Government till now—tho inter
dict, however, will bo removed shortly.
All apprehensions with respect to fear for tho safe
ty ot tho settlement at the Covo, Buchanan, havo sub
sided, aud the settlers are busily employed la the
erection of houses aud plauting farms. Tho cbiofs of
Grand Capo Mouut are most anxious to bavo an
American Settlement formed there, and aro exceed
ingly importunate to liaye it effected immediately.—
They urge it as tho only sure means of relieving the
country from anarchy and confusion, and of affording
protection to the inhabitants against the depredations
of certain maraudlug chiefs who keep the country in
constant alarm. Theso and other Important consid
erations make it desirable that their wishes bo met;
we should therefore commence operations there as
soon os possible, by sending up ramo forty or fifty
men from this place. Can you send us a good com
pany of emigrants to locate there? What about tbo
Ohio prayers for a settlement at Cape Mount ? Now

State of AflUIrs lti Chinn.
Mud) interest naturally ultaches to tho state of af
fairs in tho Celestial Empire, especially now that tbe
report is so generally current alleging that the Amer-
can, French und English naval commanders on those
stations have combined to resist tho advance of the
insurgent army npon Nankin, Slinnghue, Ac. Wo
arc gratified, therefore, to have it In our power to
place before our readers a series of private telegraph
ic despatches, received from Trieste, on tho urrival
there of the overland mail, by a London mercantile
house of the highest respectability, and largely en
gaged in the China and India trado. They were
transmitted to n lionso hero of equal respectability,
engaged cxtenslvoly in tho same trade, by whose
courtesy wc are permitted to use them.
The first of these despatches is as follows, and pros
addressed to the London house by their special cor
respondent at Trieste :—
" From Slianghao I have received no letters. From
Canton I have advices to the 9th of April. There
was no change in the quotations for tea or unbleach
ed silk. Exchange, five nnd five, Company’s rupees,
238. Tho insurgents aro reported to bo in possession
of Nankin.
“ From Calcutta my advices arc to tho 21st of April.
Exchange. 2s. Id. a 2s. Id.
” From Bombay, to April 27. Exchange 2s. lid. u
2s. ljd.”
The second despatch is os follows, from the samo
sourco :
" The Hong Kong Gazette, of April 1, the latest
date received here, hss intelligence from Shanghae
to tho 28th of March. Nothing positive was knowu
respecting tho fate of Nankin. There were no com
mercial advices from Shanghae, business being at a
stand. A brig and four European warsteamers were
at tlmt port, but nothing further was known at Hong
Kong.”
In addition to theso despatchesare placed in
possession ol one addressed, also from Trieste on tho
arrival of the mail, to another Loudon firm, os fol
lows ' •
41 Tho insurgents havo taken tho exterior walls of
Nankin, and the place must fall into their hands.—
Ail business is stopped. Sir N. Bonham did not in
terfere."
It will bo Reon that the abovo despatches arc Homo-
what contradictory, a failing common to telegraphic
despatches. Our New York friends express the very
confident belief that the report of tho intervention of
tho three powers named will prove to bo without
foundation, and has arisen from the simple fact that
u force had been placed at Shanghae to guard tho
lives and property of foreign residents. It was ex
pected that the regular correspondence by the over-
land mail would reach London on tho 30th of May,
whoa more definite intelligence would uo doubt be
afforded.

Exccutlou of Artlmr Spring.
Philadelphia, June 10, P. M.
Arthur Spring, the murderer, was executed this
morning iu tbo jail yard at a quarter past cloven
o’clock. Ho died apparently without a struggle,
A few moments before the oxeoutlon took place,
tho Itov. Dr. Street, who was in attendance, put the
following question to the prisoner:
“ Is youug Arthur, your son, guilty of tho murder
of Mrs. Hbaw aud Mrs. Lynch?’’ To this the culprit
made the following answer:
44 He is no more guilty of their murder than I am.”
The lost words of Spring were: 44 1 went to bed that
night—I mean the night ofthe murder—at 7 o’clock,
and did not rise until breakfast time the next morn
ing. I knew nothing of the murder until the officers
arrested me.”
Spring denied most positively and earnestly bis
having committed the murder for which be had been
convicted. He also protested his innocence of the
murder of Kink, with which he had been charged.
Of these he alleged just before passing from timo to
eternity, that ho waa wholly guiltless.
He passed tbe night with apparent composure, and
this morning eat a hearty breakfast, remarking whilst
eating It, that it was foe last breakfast ho would ever
have.
Whilst on .the gallows ha stood np firm, not the
■lightest tremor was visible. Quite a large number
of persons witnessed tho execotion, which has erea-
tea a great sensation throughout the city.
Before ascending.tbe scaffold, Spring asked for
some liquor, whioh tbe Sheriff refused to give him.
Thousands of persona witnessed the execution—-
An immense beterogoneoue mob, or oonooune of
persona, ail colore and eexee, surrounded the priaon.
The nock of the culprit waa broken instantly npon
A treaty has been concluded between tho United
States and the Free and Hanseatic Republics of Ham
