pressed in tho past, and, per ee, would willingly
trust it in the future. But here I stop. I have
something else to inquire into, besides Mr. Fill,
more's patriotism. I havo a question or two to
ask ubout his political position. Xow, lie
teas a Whig. He was n Whig President, If
elected under the present nomination what
would ho bo, jlfr. Republican! An American
you reply. Exactly. Now let me beg yon hon.
estly to keep this difference before your read
ers. Advocate his reflection upon the ground
that he is no longer a Whig—that he, as your
Iicverend Editor, Parson Brownlow, says—
has taken yonr oaths, .and still adheres to
them. Put those oaths up under Mr*
Fillmore's name, and toll your readers that
these, and not his old Whig principles, are to
guide him In the administration of government,
if again elected. Tell them that he has sworn
to cxcludo every Catholic from office, and to
torn out nil in office, where he can legally do ao.
Tell them that no foreign bom citizen, no mat
ter what hia worth, his position or services, can
he appointed to office under liis second adminis
tration. That this second administration will
not be upon the plan of the boasted "model,"
hut upon the recent American regime, which is
to take the republic back to its days of parity.
That model, which you probably look upon os a
close approximation to Washington's, he can
not repeat; apd If asou of the “friend of Amer
ica,” und companion of Washington, a Catholic,
or not bom on this side of tho Attantio, were to
apply to Mr. Fillmore for the humblest office In
his gift, he would be bound by hls oath, his
prayer, to refuse. Do you tell mo these oaths
are obsolete V I call upon you for your author,
ity for the assertion. Yea, more—I call upon
you to point to the man or set of men In
vested with power to absolve you from your
oaths. But it is claimed for Mr. Fillmore, as
one of hls qualifications for the Presidential
office, that he has not only taken them, hut
that he Is still a member in good stan
ding of a loudge Iu New York. Parson Brown,
low voted for him In convention and now sup.
ports him upon this ground. He has naile d the
oatlis to the masthead of the Knoxville Whig—
and proclaims them as csseutial articles In tlie
creed of the party which nominates Mr. Fill
more. The honest parson scorns to deny 01
conceal his principles;—and by them hois will,
ing to stand or fall. I like this—I do not like to
light un enemy whose weapons are hid; it is
not Republican, it is not Democratic, it is not
American (old) so to light. Up then with your

ly repeat It L aflcr your parson, we will at least

Washington Correspondence.
Washington May, 12.
Mr. Care to d*y entered upon • long and ear
nest speech in definition and -support of what
is commonly called "Squatter Sovereignty," a
name he however, repudiates. He assumes the
general Interest right of apeople to govern them
selves when numerous enough to form a Slate,
and the perlbetequulltyof the States whenever
admitted Into the Unton.
Mr. Omi appears massive and heavy on can-
iss and In print; and aomewhat so when sit
ting quietly in the Senate chamber. But it is
seldom that he la found so, for hla mind la over
active. He reads with intensity, writes with
eagerness, talks with vehemence, and delivers
apeeohes with nu Impetuous ardor. No ono
who listens to him can doubt hla sincerity. His
whole heart, soul and intellect always appear
absorbed In the subject before him, and ho is
always master of thatsuhiectso perfectly that
he is prepared to respond at every point, uud
to contend upon any collateral issue forced
upon him.
Wo rend in the public prints that Mr. Dallus
Is warmly greeted in England. Private letters
received In this city make even stronger repre
sentations of this matter. Mr. Dallas, though
almost a radical In politics, as hls father was
before him, is a most polished gentleman In so
ciety, quiet, easy, clear, able. Intelligent and
self poised, happily exemplifying both the
suaviter in modo and the fortitn in re. It Is
fortunate for tu to have such a minister nt this
critical period.
It was current among the knowlug.oucs nt
the capltol today, that nn Improved state of
feeling was growing up between the President
and Senator Pierce, and there were not waiitlug
evil ones who ascribed this seeming friendship
to a joint effort to destroy Mr. Buchanan.
The assault on Mr. Buchanan, made by Mr
Fullor (“American") of Pennsylvania on Satur-'
day last, has even been connected with this un
derstanding, by those “whoso wish is father lo
the thought,” for it.certalnly has no foundation
In truth.
There Is much anxiety in this city to learn
the present condition of Walker in Nicaragua,
tor decisive events have surely happened since
our last intelligence. Our government will not
recognize his Minister, and thus permit our citi
zens to repair thither at their pleasure, i The
Commlttco of Foreign Affairs in the House, (oil,
it is understood, except Mr. Clingman, of North
Carolina) oppose the recognition of that gov
ernment, and to-day the Houso of ltepresciita-
tlvcs refused by a decisive voto lo counsel a res-

It seems that (leu. Walker, like some others

Much satisfaction is felt at Mr. Herbert's be
ing held to bail to-day by the Judgo of our Cir

Tho''Central American” papers were laid,
last night, on the tobies of both Houses. It

touch up the Ministry about tho delay, and hint
facetiously at tho known skill of Piuu in keep

to the butternmn. The “recruiting” papers ure
not to be ready till next week. Sir Edward
Bulwor Lytton is to give notice ot his motion
soon, and f shall have plenty to say on the sub
ject ere long. Some Conservatives cherish a
hopo tint tho Ministry maybe driven out on
tliis point, and (Russell being dime for, seem
ingly,) that a Conservative Ministry may bo
formed. They say that the Feclltes will coa
lesce with them, alter all, and not with the
Radicals as has hccu affirmed.
But all this is uncertain. There bus been
very bitter lighting between Peel Tories uud
Disraeli Tories during tho last ten years. In
deed, it is well kuowu that a strong Conserva

formed, but that Gludstoue would not loin with
Disraeli. He “slums to Hit” with Disraeli, wheth

trying to reason or to ridicule hint out of Dory
support, and I dare say there are good Tories
who would like to see him hi a distant embus-
sadorship, and the party safe under Gladstone
and Bulwer. But Heu is nut so easy a gentle
man to dispose of, and those who know how ho
rallied together the Protectionists on Peel s de
fection—fought their light, created their or
ganization and made tlie Derby Ministry pos
sible—aro not disposed to abandon him. Shaky
as the Ministry is, it is therefore no easy task to
supplant it, oven if overthrown; and a dissolu

Letter rrom Jenny Llml.
(From the Memphis Bulletlu.]
“A friend in need,” fcu.
We have beeu favored witli the perusal of a
letter from Jenny Lind Goldschmidt to a lady iu
thteeity, of which the following is an extract:
“1 had been apprized sometime previous of
his difficulty with the company, (Jerome Clock)
but. had not the least idea he was so deeply in
volved. Now that the crash has come, and ruin
und poverty stare him In the face, I feel ho has
all my sympathies. Yes, I do most deeply
sympathise with him. I know the American
people will hardly believe him to bo utterly ru
ined. This is to be expected, as he (Barnum)
had the reputation of being a smart, shrewd
and intelligent man, tho trutii of which I can
myself bear witness to.
Mr. Barnum had other qualities, of which the
American people know liltlo or nothing; his na
ture was tlie very acme of generosity, and thou
sands of untold and unheard of generous deeds
will fully atone for any error of judgment ho
may havo and doubtless has committed. You
know, my dear friend, those gift and charity
concerts which I was made to participate in,
not that it did not meet with my cordial ap
proval, yet they all sprung from Barnum, which
although he whs shrewd enough to know would
return again tenfold, yet Ilia soul was in tho
act, nor would he listen to my remonstrances

I know, also, tliat lie was continually impor
tuned by needy people lor assistance, and
I can positively assure you. as I iielievo to ho
tlie case, that none ever loR him unassisted
who was in tlie least deserving. I tliluk, how
ever, that his genius and talent will not long
permit him to remain in impoverished obscuri
ty. His determined will will soon arouse hint
to action, and iu a short spuce of time ho will
have surmounted hls difficulties tliut now sur
round and oppress him, and which would havo
nnrulyzed tho energies of un ordinary mun.
I will not dwell longer upon this subject. It
is, indeed, painful Tor me to contemplate.
1 believe a good man should uever fall, nor shall
lio (Uaruum) do so for the want of a friend.
His pride will not permit him to write tome

Nicaragua Affaire—British, Naval Force-Asi

Havana, May 10th, 1856.
Messrs. EditorsTho news lately received
from Nicaragua and Panama, has caused con
siderable sensation hore as well as speculation,
as to the probable course that will be assumed
by the United States In the grave matters brought
to its attention. The French and British wire
ones have come to the conclusion that the Util
ted States, If disengaged from the serious obli
gation that rests upon the present government,
to make a President for the relief or continu
ance of General Pierce in office, will leave those
Central American trivialities of murder and
violation of treaty obligation, “to the provideut
care and management of ‘John Bull.’ ” This
power for abitrunent, has certainly taken tlie
Monroe doctrine by the beard, and citizeusof
the United States upon a high-way established
under treaty, are told by these pads of theoceau
to “right about faco,” and march about their
business in some other direction, or to return
home as may best suit them.
The Eurydice (British frigate) will be re-in-
forced by other vessels of tho West India squad
ron, to enforce the blockade of the waters of
San Juan, assisted by vcsssels of the French
arm ol the protectorate. A French frigate now
In port, it is said, will go down to the scene of

Wc me still without the Treaty, though there
appeared in the Express of Wednesday, (even
ing paper of tlie Daily News, which—the Dai
ly News—is edited by William Weln, ft Scottish
advocate—for tlie Scotch ure strong on tlie
press,) a kind of anticipat ion of it, divided into
urtlcles in tho regular way. This the Times
copied yesterday, but makes no further remurk
on it this morning. We must not, therefore, be
coutont to think that wo yet know how afiiura
stand; and Lord Clarendon, (though in the
Peers last night, where ho was cheered,) has
not yet made his statement. That the Black
Sea is to be neutralized and turned into a mere
commercial sea; that Russia is to have no licet
nor torts there; that they return Kara, and we
our conquests; and that tlie Principalities are
to bo united under some hospodar of native
family admitting the Porte’s sunrainte: these
ure points on which everybody here scents
agreed to expect agreement.
But it affirmed that the question of tho Prin
cipalities is, postponed, chfelly on account of
France’s eagerness to settle the peace before
the armistice expired. And this last reminds
me to direct your attention to the article on thu
Peace aud Turkey in tho new number of tlie
Quarterly. It is probably cither by Bayard or
written from Bayard's inspiration, aud it is
original at once in knowledge aud in views.
The writer, (who iu tho last number doubted
that peace was probablo,) now shows why Rus
sia has yielded—why wc have been impelled to
close tho war (ho evidently regrets our having
done so) before Russia has been thoroughly and
fiuully damaged—and how Turkey ought to be
treated with a view to her regeneration. He
asserts that tho “great aud overwhelming diffi
culty which at last compelled tho Emperor to
yield,” was “the absolute destruction of all the
means of transport throughout the south of
Russia.”
Ho then goes on to say. that after all, she is
uot so permanently crippled as people may fan
cy : that “the territorial concessions” demuuded
of uer are “of a trivial natureund Iwldly
maintains that “it will eventually prove a source
“of great misfortune to Europe; that tho cle-
“mauds of the allies were not more cotntuen-
“Hiiratc with the sacrifices which they have
“made, and with the object of the war. It is
his idea that Russia will go to work, now tlmt
she knows what her weak points are, putting
her power iu order again—especially by rail
ways connecting the prineijiat military positions
of 'the empire; uud that, next time, such an al
liance against her may uot lie possible for one
tiling. Meanwhile, the French Emperor has
managed to leave off just ns ho has made the
most of the uUiuucc, aud just as France has
achieved a glory greater than our own. There
is a great deal of truth, I think, in all this; and
I have repeatedly told you that the peace has
been coldly received here. As if to remind us
of what we might have doue, hut did not do,
our authorities havo been holding the grand Na
val Review of which you see our daily papers
full.

Tho examination of tho Hon. P. T. Herbert,
for killing Thomas Keating, one of tho waiters
at Wiliam's Hotel, l» now progressing before
Judgo Crawford, under the writ of hrbeae cor
pus, tho examining magistrates having refused
o admit tho accused to bail. This decision on
the part of tho justices has astonished the com
munity hero very much, as the ovldence for the
dofeuce proved a clear cose of seli-dereuco,and
the only query in the minds or the community
seemed to be whether Mr. Herbert would be
held to ball or released—a large majority lean
ing lu favor of the latter. The facts of the cuso
mu will have gathered from the published tes
timony, which it Is said will be corroborated by
the Netherlands Minister, should lie consent to
testify before tho Criminal Court. Tho whole
affair Is deeply regretted by nil. Mr. Herbert
is cousin to AV. W. Boyce, of South Carolina,
and is decidedly popular with all who know
him personally.
It is due to the gentlemanly proprietors of this
popuiur and elegant hotel to say that no censure
whuteveris attributable to them, neither of
whom huppened to bo present wneu tho fracus

ebullitions of violence and passion which it is
mpossible to foresee or guard against, and
which may occur In the dining room of any
large hotel. The Messrs. Willard are noted for
having around them the best servants which
cun bo bad, and for exercising the strictest dis
cipline over all the employees of their magnifi
cent hotel. It has been this particularity, in
these respects, which has given such popularity
to tholr house, and placed it far in ndvunce of
our other metropolitan hotels.
Tho two Houses of Congress ure progressing
slowly with public business, and of the five Iran-,
dreduml thirty-three bills now pending, tha pro
bability is that not one-fourth will lie acted on<
Besides this heavy calendar, there are some
forty or forty-five resolutions which will con
sume much time in their consideration if they

und Central America have pretty much occupied
the time of the Senate,- while tlie House con
sumed the first two months in tlie election of
Speaker,und the great portion of tho other

Height of Lunar Mountains.—Science
■bus been enabled to find out much con
cerning lunar mountains. The elevations
of 1005 feet have been accurately meas
ured. It will be readily understood how,
when it is considered—tlmt the length of
a shadow indicates the height of the body
behind which it is east, provided the in
clination by which tho light falls is known.
Whenever light falls on a particular body,
with an inclination of half a right angle
(45 degrees,) the shadow formed beyond
is exactly as long as the body is high.—
When the sun shines by this inclination
upon the lunar mountains, their shadows
are consequently as the mountains ure tall,
when the light lulls with a greater incli
nation, the slmdow is lengthened in a ratio
known to the mathematician. Thirty-
nine of the lunar mountains are found, by
estimates taken in this way, to be higher
than Mount Blauc; six are above 18,000
feet. The lunar monutaius are, therefore,
on a vastly grander scale than the earth’s,
if both are compared with the size of the
sphere on which they stand. In Illustra
tion of the delicacy with which investi
gation relating to tho height of lunar
mountains have been curried on, that
Meadler, the] German astronomer, has
distinctly seen a shadow on the moon not
longer than three seconds of augular mea
surement, and which was cast by a body
not exceeding 28 feet in height. Arago
reckons that the mountains of the moon,
if viewed with a telescope magnifying 6,-
000 diameters, would present about the
same appearance Mount Blanc does from
Lake Geneva.

Tup. Elephant.—Tho Zanesville Courier has
the following touching Incident of the sagacity
and aH’ection of tlie elephant. Hannibal lias
killed several persons, which made them so cau
tious when hls keeper was disabled :
“ As tho menagerie and circus which spent
the lost winter in this city was going from
Brownsville to Nowark, on Saturday last, the
keeper of the ellphant ‘Hannibal’ full from hls
horse in an epileptic fit Those who wero In
the vicinity could do nothing lor tho poor fel
low, from fear of the elephant, who has been
In a rather bad humor for somo time; for, in
deed, be would not olloir them to coma near.
Hls canine companion, howover, licked his
keeper’s face continually, ami ‘liumiibal’ made
several efforts to sot him on bis feet, by placing
his trunk under him, raising him up, Ac.
“Fearing that hls serene highness might be
come enraged utthis state of things, efforts wero
made to get tho wagons, cages, Ac., out of his
way. Fiuully, ono of tho mun, who hud somo
experience in managing him,succeeded in get
ting liim to lio down, uud got upou him, when
he was chained to u tree near by until his ordi
nary keepor was cured for. Then, hy the usual
means, lie was sufficiently subdued to allow him
to bo loosed with safety, and tho cortugo moved
ou. The affection shown by tho sagacious ani
mals—tho elephant and tho mastiff- -for their a f-
dieted keeper gives additional force to tho ml-
ago tliat “a rough exterior often bides a tender
heart.’ ”
Our naval men—apropos of said Review—are
not so well satisfied with the War and its Peace
as the red coats. They feel, somehow, tliat they
have only come off second best. No doubt the
Blade Sea Fleet and its Naval Brigade* did in
finite service to the Army—-hut how about the
Baltic Fluet, and where ure the old naval laurels
we used to win? Bomarsund and Swcaborg nrc
all vury well—shell practice, not sea-fights—
and fellows aro discussing whether stone walls
really are invincible or no, ami if so, why Nelson
ever attacked them? Then, all the Napier versus
Graham row has discredited the profession. The
old fellows, of course, say that everything has
been done; the young ones maintain that Fogy-
ism ruins the profession. I dare say that if one
walked into Alula's cafe ut Malta, or the “Lon
don” at Plymouth, or any oilier naval haunt,
one should hear the new generation holding
forth in this style:
“ Why. whut cun you expect ? Don’t you re
member wlien O had the Mediterranean
—dammeo, sir, he could scarcely walk, and he
was such an old bore that not half his dispatch
es were ever even opened by the Admiralty ?
How did Muzzle get tlie Polypus ? What bus
he done? ” And so on ud lib. The fact is. that
what with borough-mongering, jobbery, public
and private, a want of educational system, and
a long peace which has not enabled the service
to educate nnd purify itself (as war does), our
naval organization is very bad, howover good
our matci'ial. We have brave men and fine
ships, but we have bad government. The Re
view was a very splendid affair, und people
crowded to it beyond belief: but the railways
blundered so, that it is a fact that the peers ne
ver saw thu spectacle nt nil! Tho trains were
not in time, and the tenders were too small,
and then tho steamer would not do. There was
a regular debate about it last night in both
Houses, and it will amuse England for days.
Lord Goderich, (sou of Lord Ripon, formerly
known as “Prosperity Robinson,”) a young,
radical, spectacled, plain, and monger-looking
lord—who, however, is a clever and a good
man-carried a motion in the Commons last
night, iu favor of competition in tho Civil Ser
vice Tliis is ono device for mending things
now-n-days, and is slowly being adopted with in
finite debate. It has objections—but, unfortu
nately, tho old state of things whs fust getting
rotten, and when something must ho done, a
rational project gets a hearing. Tlie Civil Ser
vice lias been recruited anyhow: that is, mem-
licrs have bullied Governments out of clerkships
for their constituents; Governments havo given
oppolntmcnto from party motives; and here and
there u wicked old lord at the head ot a Depart
ment, lias found husbands for Ills mistresses, or
places for his bastard*, by the patronage.
Aristocrats, capitalists, radicals, nnd all to
gether, havo been equally to blame—it lias been
a national affair,you may say; nnd now, wo are
trying to settle tliat nil places shall be thrown
open for public competition. The motion of
Goderich was carried by 21. R will do him good
in the country. You know radicalism is one of
tho hast games a young lord can play in this
country. Coppock (tho Reform Club Attorney)
has been heard to exclaim with a lino political
forver: “l.ot there bo Universal SullVage, sir,
“and give men Badienl lord, nnd I’ll bent you!”

Tho prospect of a good Sugar crop f in
Lousinua is very poor. Tlie severity of
tho winter killed both seed nnd plant eano
to a great extent, and though nn attempt,
has been itiudo to get cane from Cuba Im
planting, only three ship londs have been
obtained—thu Spanish Government, from
selfish motives purely, interdicting futhcr
shinmunt. The Sugar planter upon the
higli lands betweentBayon Sara and Baton
Rouge, being utterly unable to get cano
have planted their fields with Cotton.
King Log.—In speculating about the
cause of the loss of the Cuba, recently on
the Alabama River, the Montgomery
Mail of April 28 says:
“The original cause of all this loss of
life und property is an ‘old forked oak log,
with a large round knot at. the fork.’ On
this knot the Sam Dale once hung nnd
ground a hole in her bottom; getting out
of the scrape only by throwing over eight
hundred bales of cotton. Subsequently
the Sunny South, Aberdeen, Empire and
Cuba, have been destroyed in consequence
of its being there. It is estimated that this
old log has cost the country a number of
precious lives, and about $150,000 in prop
erty destroyed and damaged.”
A Canadian merchanfat Hamilton ha
recovered damages to the amount of $ 3000
from the Montreal Telcgra ph. Line. H is
case was brought on the ground of failure
on the part of tlie company to deliver, with
in a reasonable time, a dispatch sent by
him to a New York house, whereby lie
sustained, us ullegcd, a loss of the above
amount, by a decline in the price of flour.
