The Northern Mull beyond Charleston, failed
last night*
Savannah nntl (lie Main Trunk Hall*
way*
We have been disposed to regard tho tUllurc
of the Brunswick company to release their rights
as necessarily fatul to the Main Main Trunk
scheme—and expressed ourselves accordingly ill
our last issue. Further consideration has
brought us to doubt the correctness of this con
clusion.
Tlie Main Trunk ckurtor provides—for-
•ubscriptiou of stock by individuals or corpora
tious, second for subscription by the State, third
for an organization of the company, fourth foi
the payment of an installment of 20 per cent,
by other stockholders than the State, and (after
that payment is made)jifth for tho payment of
20 percent, by (.ioveruor. And hero comes
the proviso iu regard to the release: “lint no
paymeut shall bo made on the part ot the State
until tho Savannah, Albany and Cult’ Rail Hoad
Company and tho Florida Rail Hoad Company
shall have released any right to which either ot
said companies have or claim to interfere with
tho location of said road on account of any priv
ileges grunted in the charter of either of them.'
The questipn arises, wlmt was the design of
this proviso i Mauifestly the protection of the
State, or, in other words, the protection of
a road in which the State was to beoonio a
stockholder, from belug harrassed by litigation
growing out of tho claims of auy other compa
ny, “to luterfere with the locntlon ofsaid roud."
Now, it is uot pa-tended that the rights ot* the
Brunswick Company extend more than twenty
miles from the lino of their road; and even
within that limit they amount to no moi-e tlmu a
• restraint upon any other company wishing to
run parallel to it. If, then, the Main Trunk
can be so located as that it shall not run paral
lel to tho Brunswick road, within twenty miles
thereof, the necessity for a release by tliut com
pany will not exist, on the well established
legal principle that “the reason of tho law ceas
ing, tho law itself ceases." Can the Main Trunk
be thus located ? Wo answer yes. it need only
run due west from the initial point to avoid the
conllict of claims with tho Brunswick Compnny.
Let us then by no means abandon the Slain
Trunk clmrtor—the crowuing glory of our last
(Seneral Assemhly-the work of patriots and
statesmen—the result of concession and com
promise—a wise scheme for the development of
the resources of Southern (ieorgia and connect
ing tho Atlantic with the Gulf of Mexico. Let
the subscription, commenced iu this city by a
contribution of $200,000, go on. Let Albany
FortGaines, and Kufauh—tho rich counties of
Dougherty, Baker, Randolph. Clay, Calhoun
and Early--be appealed, to. True tho road
can't go ns high up ns Eulauia, yet KufauJa
could connect with it, and is deeply interested
iu having it run far enough north to enable
her to connect advantageously.
The fact that the Brunswick Company hold
on to their lino through Lowndes and Thomas,
precludes tho possibility of tho road going there,
and the likelihood of obtaining any subscrip
tions in that direction.
If proper ellbrts are made, private sub.
scriptlons to the amount of $600,000 can cer-
tuiuly bo obtained. When certilled to the Gov.
ernor. lie will put dowu the State l'or $.*>00,000
more. Thereupon comes an organization of the
Compnny. Then follows an instalment ot’ 20 per
cent., hy the other stockholers. This paid in,
the question comes lieforc tho Executive, wheth
er the State shall pay her first instalment of 20
per cent, and thus carry out tho bcncllccnt pur
pose of tho Legislature. Should Gov. Johnson
feel himself restrained by the rigid letter of th c,
law, it can hardly he doubted that n rem
edy will be applied by the next Legislature
in tho repeal of the clause requiring u re.
lease from the Bnuiswick Company. We
say this can hardly be doubted, because it
will not he denied that the proviso was only
put into the bill after positive assurances
from gentlemen representing the Bnuiswick
Company that the release would ho given hy
that company. If, then, men were ever iu
liouor bound to do an act, they were bound to
give this release. The Legislature of Georgia
will, therefore, scarcely permit them to take
advantage of their own fraud by nullifying an
act which, though they may now repudiate it,
has unquestionably been of signal service to
them iu re-establishing tlielr sinking credit.
Meanwhile, let tho work be pressed forward
by the application of the private subscriptions.
And even if tho State’s quota shall never be
obtained, stiff nothing will bo lost, while valua
ble time, at least, will be gained. If tho worst
comes to the worst, the company can lull back
on tho charter or the Savannah Albany and
Gulf Railroad, of whose Alabama act of incor
poration, in any event, they will probably have
to avail themselves for making the extension
beyond the limits of Georgia to Mobile and
Pensacola.
Most of our readers know Hint the line by
Albany is not tlmt or our choice. By expressions
made years since, wo stand committed to a
route at least oh low down ns Troupvillo and
Thomasvilie. But that route is now out of the
question, because in the possession of the Bruns
wick Company. As for crossing the Brunswick
lino and running down to Florida, tlmt is a
project which Savannah shonld never relinquish;
hut tlmt cannot ho made tho “Main Trunk”
road. But granting that the “Main Trnnk 1
’ must lie located twenty milcH above the lino of
the Bnuiswick survey, it may lie asked why go
so high up as Albany and Fort Gaines?
We'uiiHwer because, along tho line of road
niuning without! between Albany and Thomas-
ville, no subscriptions cun be obtained. Them
is wealth on tho Troupvillo and Thomasvilie
route and u great, deal of wealth on tho Albany
and Fort Gaines route-hut none on tho interme
diate route. On the passage of the Main Trunk
Bill wo hoped tlmt tho wealth of both these see-
lions might bo enlisted in behalf of tho scheme.
But tlmt hope han proved visionary. The Troup-
vilie and Thomaavillc lino being now o ut of the
question, the alternative sec-ms to he that by
Albuuy and Fort Gallics,uiiIchh Savannah is pre
pared to bear the whole burthen herself.
Ah to tho mutter of competition witli the South
Western Hoad, we shall have something to say
in another article, if indeed our readers are
not idrcudy wearied with the discussion.

with tho domestic as well as political aflhim of
Nicaragua? Aro wo to ho deterred hy that from
acknowledging that Government?
Mr, Maaun said if ha thought tho recognition
of this Government would bring to uu Issuo the
questions ponding between us and any foreign
power, In which we were in the right, he would
not hesitate to do it. We had not rerwicd to re-
oognise tbo existing Governments of Fiance ns
they passed through tho vuriuus stages of mon-
vliy, snatchy, military despotism, os a repub.
and at hut os an autocracy.
Mr. Pntt said that the government of Nicar
agua being recognised, our oltisens would havo
a right to go there, and could make that a sta
ble government, wliloh waa not so now. He
thought that nlnetecu-twentletlis of those who
had established tlio government were Ameri.
cans who had gone therein violation of the neu
trality laws.
Mr. Masou said that the recognition would not
affect our neutrality laws iu the sliglitst degree.

please, nml utter they hud readied u foreign

Is the sole cause which compelled Costa Rica to
undertake tho war In which shoisnow engaged,
and imposed sacrifices which she protests bIio
will reclaim ftom whoever may he responsiblefor
the same.
Mr. Marcy replies on April 25th to what Don
Molina calls tho lawless conduct of tho inhabi
tants of the United States, sayinglthat it reflects
on the good fhlth of our country in regard to
its neutral relations net only with Costa Rica
but with each of the Central American States.
That chargo could not be lightly made, and
was presented without adequate proof to sustain
After arguiug in favor of the right of expa
triation, he says: “Respect for Costs Hica.and
Don Molina himself, requires that his leu-
5lingo shall bo so Interpreted that it shall not
imply a charge of connivance on the part of
this government at a violation of the neutrality
laws?’ g
On the fid of May, Secretary Many sends
Don Molina the papers detailing the shocking
barbarity and slaughter ot non combatants b;
Costa Ricans, and says: “The President is wil
ling to believe that Costa Rica, will prompt);

rago.nnd inflict on them exemplary liuniehmenl
Costa Rica had departed from tho laws of war,
and he calls attention to the* transactions at
Virgin Bay for such proceedings on its part ns
the nature of tho case demands?’
On May 0th, Don Molina tells Secretary
Marey that he has informed his government of
these transactions; and doubtless Costa Rica will
reply in a satlsfactoiy manner. She will not
authorize acts to tarnish her good name, and
8 releases to have as much horror as tho United
tates for shedding the blood of Innocent peo
ple. If it shall be proved that such persons
suffered, ehe will, without the least donbt, bring
the guilty parties to trial in order to be punish
ed os they deserve. Don Mollina says that this
war Is net between Costa Rica and Nicaragua,
but botween the united people of the Btates, or
rather of Central America, against a band or
unauthorized adventurers who are Impoverish
ing and pressing the inhabitants of Nicaragua,
ud who are threatening to impose the some
okeupon the rest of Central America. Costa
Jlca cannot accord the rights of war to a band
of men answerable to penal laws which certain
ly are not more severe in those States than in
any other State of the civilised world. He ex
presses the hope that our government will sus
pend its opinion till an investigation bomado
Intotheeventsat Virgin Bay, and that It wUlnot
be too severe with regard to Costa Rica. Sho
is defending her most sacred rights sgaiust
those who have outraged and attacked her
merely because she is weak.
Don Augustin Vijil writes Secretaiy Morey un
der date May 14th, saying:
“Tho unhappy state or tbe country in whioh
ho was born, and a desire of exerting his best
ellbrts to relieve It, bos led him to leave his ni
tivo shores to represent its intorests in the Co;
ital of this blessed Republlo and proceed l
place the affaln of Nicaragua in such a light aB
to Induco Mr. Marcy toviow its circumstances
in their true aspect, concluding with expressing
a houo that the Government ol tho United States
will be a friend to Nicaragua.”
Next follows a letter from President Rivas
dated April 17th, addressed to the President o'
the United States, ns “Great and Good Friend,”
in which he says: “ Desirous or cultivating
friendly relations, I have thought fit to accredi:
Don Augustin VjjU as Minister to the United
States—a reliable person on account of his

lug, to the end that he may enter Into treaties of

Mr. Mason moved to refer tke message to tho
committee on foreign relations, and that it
printed.
Mr. Crittenden said be regarded the subject

At the departure of Hie last steamer, public
attention wu^occuplcd by an attempt on the part
of the opposition to obtain a victory over tho
Palmerston Administration. The point on which
they were attacked was tlio fall of Kura. It was
mentioned however that tiie movement was ex
pected to prove a complete fuilure. The result
has confirmed this impression, the division last
night having given tlio Ministry a majority of
303 aguiust 170.
At the same time, there was considerable un
animity iu the coiidoniuuliou of Lord Stratford
de RedclilVe, tlio British Minister at Constanti
nople, to whose neglect of ail the requirements
of General Wiliiauis, both os regards monoy and
men, to euab e liim to prolong the defence, the
disastrous termination of the otherwise glorious
struggle was mainly owiug. Tiie Opposition
wLhed to render the Ministry responsible for
Lord titratl'ord’s misconduct, on the ground that
they hud condoned his olfeuce by allowing biiu
subsequently to reiuuiu at his post; but the feel
ing ol tbe llouso evidently wus that, from his
long experience of Turkish diplomacy, he is,
on the whole, a valuable public servant, ant
that bis removal at tbe present time would be
impolitic.
After
rthe
night, tbe Gov
ernment will probably feel tliemsefves strength
ened and will be induced to push forward their
various measures with some approach to vigor
during the remainder of the session. For sev
eral weeks, they had been obviously losing
force, and it was essential that a crisis should
take place.
Considerable interest has been excited by the
publication ot the protocol ot tho recent Con-
S in the general state of the continent. Ac-
g to this documeut, tho discussion com
menced by some remarks of Count Walewski,
as the representative of France, on tho desira
bleness ot a term being put to the foreign occu-
f iation both of Borne and Greece. In express-
ug a hope that the governments of those coun
tries would adopt measures to render this possi
ble, he added an opinion that it will be useful
for the Congress to enlighteu the King of Na
ples oh to the “ false course” he Is pursuing.
Count Wulewski next complained of the licen
tious attacks of tiie press of Belgium on the
French Government. He exonerated tho King
and ills Ministry, but charged the evil on the
law in thut country, and iu so doing resorted to
a threat that France may feel obliged to “ make

from 75 to 80 Indians, six miles below Fort

Some thirty Indians were collected on a hill

Stepping into a restaurant recently, to

wo overheard a dialogue, touching the
Astor Library, which made us laugh half
the night, and yet wo donbt whether tho
reader will appreciate it; and yet we aro
sure lie woululfhehod heard it as we did.
One of tho speakers was from the coun

“Been about much since you’ve been

“Yes, considerable."

trusted tiie Congress would make some. declara
tion that might prove effective, since it wus
wished to avoid tho use of menace. Finally, a
recommendation was put forth that tue Con
gress should conclude its labors by adopting
some general regulations on tho subject of mar
itime law. Count Walewski wus followed by
Isord Clarendon, who supported his views with
regard to Greece and and Rome, and also in re
lation to the King of Napless whose acts have
obtained such “ grievous notoriety.” As re
gards tbe Belgian pross, Lord Clarendon could
only observo that, while he condemned the ex
ecrable abuses witli which it ischurged, he must
state that Great Britain, a country whoro a free
press is a fundamental institution, cannot asso
ciate herself in any measures of coercion.
Count Buoi, on behalf of Austria, assisted
Count Walewski in urging the suppression of
a free press throughout the continent of Europe.
Count Orioflf, for Russia, remarked that he
was merely sent to negotiate a peace, and that
lie was not prepared to enter into other ques
tions.
Great credit is duo to theso brave volunteers
who have driven tiie Indiaus from tho trail and
are still in pursuit of them.
Cnpt. Isalnin Buoy’s command had a fight witli
some seventy-five Indians six miles south of Cam-
inns valley. The enemy cume into tiie valley, it
appears, to sweep tiie settlements. Upon hear
ing U, Capt. Buoy witli thirty-live men started
in pursuit and came up with the enemy on the
mountain leading to the meadows from tiie
North. As*soon as Capt Buoy came up with the
Indians, lie immediately divided his command
nnd charged them right und left, and complete
ly routed and defeated them, killing three In
dians whom the\ found on tho ground, one witli
a navy sized pistol tightly grasped iu Ids hand,
though dcud. Tho commaud followed the In
dians about a mile, until the men were complete
ly exhausted for want of water.
They wero then ordered to return to camp.
This company, botli ofliecra and men, behaved
in hucIi a manner as to eutitle them to the high
est praise of every citizen of our country. Al
low me to mention tlio obligations we are all un
der to Mujor Bruce and the men under him, Ma
jor Latshuw and the brave boys from the North,
os well ns to Captaiu Buoy and Lieut Moore,
both of whom have been in tbe service all win
ter.
I have ordered sixty men from Capt Buoy’s
command to follow the Indians, and if possible
to full in with Col. Kelsey and Major Latohaw
at the Big Bend of Cow Creek. Col. Kelsey
bids fair to be a very active officer, and my
confidence la unlimited in Lieut. Col. W. W.
Chapman, oil of whom are very sanguine of sue-
cuss.

At any rate tho shoes were not yet worn out
upon the feet of those who liad wrought this
