has arrived, bringing Lord Clarendon's reply to
Mr. Marcy. He says, if the laws of the United
States have been infringed upon, America Is en

Address ofOcn. Witllccr to ills Troops at
Rivas, March 31, 1850.
Soldiers : Wo avc engaged in no ordinary
war. A powerful combination surrounds ua on
every side. A hatred to our race has united ad
verse States, and reconciled the most hostile
and repugnant factions, The object of this
league is to expel us from tho land with which
wo nave identified our lives ; but through your
fortitude and courage, tho eflbrt is destined to
defeat. Invited to this country when it was torn
by civil strife, and so exhausted by long dissen
sions that it had no vigor loft to reconstruct it
self, we undertook the task of its redemption
and protection from tho encroaching grasp of
servilism. In dcfiauco of all obstacles, in des
pite of armed opposition and reg- rdless of every
dlsconragement in the way of odds, we steadily
pursued our purpose; and it Ls well known to
you at what sacrifices we have succeeded. The
"forces of the aristocratic party, which threaten
ed to overwhelm tjie liberties of the State, were
checked and overthrown ; the constitutional
guarantees of free government were established,
and a system of order so vigorous and compre
hensive put in operation, that not even the
most daring treachery or extended conspiracies
have been able to disturb it. For six months a
E rofound peace has been maintained; prosperity
as blessed tho country; private rights, whether
of friend or foe, lmve been repeated, and the
laws so justly and equally administered that no
man can lift his voice and charge against us a
single act of injustice.
Notwithstanding tills—notwithstanding ull
the sacrifices we have made, all the dangers we
have encountered, all the sufferings we havo en
dured—sacrifices not. only of our blood in bat
tle, but of our lives to tho pestilence—bear wit
ness the grave yard at Granuda—are we to be
driven from this country merely because we
were not born upon the soil ?
No, soldiers! The destiny of this region and
tho interests of humanity uro confided to our
care. We havo come here ns the advance guard
of American civilization, and I know your
hearts respond tomb o when I declare that soon
er than retire before u,/:ompliflhingom duty,we
will spill the last drop of our blood and perish
to tbs lost man!
Boldiers, the task that is confided to us is an
arduous one. It is full of self denial, risk, and
snflerlng, but it is at tho samo time lull of prom*
Ise. It spreads beyond tho limits of ordiimry
vision, and comprehends tho fate not only of
Nicaragua, but perhaps the redemption and
proper civilization of all SpanM’ \merlca.
Soldiers, this task, aa I luiv< is an ardu
ous one. Obstacles are yet to u oioountcrercd
and difficulties overcome thnt may try our forti
tude and courago by sterner testa than nny we
have experienced. We must content ourselves,
too, to perform it alone. Though we should
have been encouraged by those who claim to lie
enlisted In the cause of progress, wo have not
Ahua far had one voice to cheer us from the sur
rounding nations, while that to which we turn
ed at the outset, with an almost filial yearning,
Blands coldly by. But tho nobler for us if we
win unaided. The consciousuoss of our mission
is all the encouragement wo require, and there
ia no man here so base as to wish to rotiro
from the task and leave his slmro of it undone.
Soldiers, in view of tho great trust confided
to you, I need not impress upon vou the Impor
tance of vigilance and order. To tho officers
and men alike, I look for that obedlcnco and
discipline which are tho clileT requisites of boJ-
diera; and with these qualities and the help of
that Powor who never deserts tho bravo and
Juit, victory and honor will bo our sure reward.
--Corrtspundcnt qf the N. Y. Herald,
Savannah Water*
We "are Informed that recent thermometrloal
observations upon the water in the basins at the
City Water Works and In the iron reservoir, sit
uated in Franklin 8quare, show a difference of
two degrees or temperature. We would have
supposed that tho heat of the latter, from the
fact that iron la a better conductor than brick
would havo been greater than the former; but
tho reverse is found to be the case, the water In
tho iron reservoir being cooler by two degrees.
These observations were made between one and
two o’clock In tho day, when tbe sun has its
greatest powor. Tho difference may be attrib
uted, in part, to the greater elevation of the
reservoir, it being one hundred and twenty feet
higher than tho basins; and to the additional
fact of its being covered, and the water thus
protected from the rays of tho sun.
It is a gratifying fact that tho water is far
bettor now than it was n year since. It will
doubtless go on improving as it is brought more
generally iuto use, thus preventing stagnation
in tho pipes, v •,. - .
The South Vindicated.
Tho reading of thfi editors of the Republican
haiing recently been deflected in rather au ob
scure direction, it becomes necessary to assist
them to some matter more wholesome of diges
tion. It !b not with the hope of convincing, but
to furnish their readers with information con
cerning Democratic journals which perhaps
they may never see in that paper.
All that the South has ever contended for, is
that tho North should not interfere with us in
the exercise of our equal rights under the Con
stitution. We did not care a straw what their
abstract speculations were, as to whether slave
ry was an evil or not. They may consider it
an evil, wc most emphatically do not. But with
those who were willing to grant us that equali
ty, to insist thnt wo should exercise those rights,
we have always been too glad to acknowledge a
political brotherhood. Upon this platform stand
all the reliable and respectable papers at the
North, and we lmve, in justice,to include a few
which are independent.
But we can boast a little more than this. The
New York Day Dook, of the 15th, has an arti*
clo in answer to a letter written by a correspon
dent in South Merrimack, New Hampshire. The
correspondent complains of theextremo ground
taken by the Day Book, and says that although
they view slavery as a “necessary evil,” “they
go with you heart and hand in your earnest ad
vocacy of the equal political right of North
and South under the Constitution.”
In reply to tho remark upon slavery the Day
Book takes the following strong ground:
1st—He assumes that tbe Northern democra
cy wil never believe that slavery is right in the
abstract, or as an “ultimate institution.” Now,
if be menus that the northern democracy will
never-believe that it is right or can be right for
white men to be placed in such a condition, or
subjected to the will of other white men, why
then he is, of course, perfectly right, for such a
thing is not only sell-evident and in total con
tradiction to the vital principles of democracy,
but a moral and physical impossibility in our
time, and under such circumstances as now sur
round us.
But if ho means that the Northern democra
cy will never assent to thejustice and propriety
of retaining the negroes of the South in social
subordination to the superior race, then we
must totally dissent from him- They number
nearly four millions; they increase, in their
present condition, faster than the whites; they
will soon be ten or twenty millions; they or
their descendants roust always remain here;
those who are in contact with them Imtno them,
know their nature, their wants,what is necessary
for their well being,as well as tiiat of their own;
kuow, in short, their natural inferiority, their
eternal, unchangeable, unmistakable natural
subordination to themselves, and therefore will
eternally retain them in social subordination,
for to do otherwise would bo social suicide—
And even if we can suppose Northern igno
rance and misconception ot tho negro immova
ble—that in all future time a theory borrowed
from Europe which assumes this negro to be
a man like ourselves, cannot bo exploded—that
the effort* which lmve heen made in the West.
Indies to prnctiealize this theory, and which is
rapidly turning tlio negro iuto original Afri
canism, totally fail to open their eyes to his true
nature—that the idleness, worthlessness, vi
ciousness and final extinction of those placed in
an abnormal or unnatural condition at the North,
equally fail to arouse the northern mind to the
truth and reality of this matter, what then ? Is
it possiblofor millions of men, intelligent, hon
est, conscientious men—to remain in such au
auomalous aud utterly demoralizing position—to
sustaiu/oreucr a system of things they believe
wrong and sinful, and a great national “evil ?”
On the contrary, would it not be better, infinite,
ly better, to part company or to dissolve all po
litioal connexion with tho South at once, rather
than live thus iu onntradiction with conscience,
for howover much wo may fancy, or try to fan
cy, the South alono responsible for this imagin
ary wrong of keening the negiu where the Al
mighty has placed him, the whole twenty mil
lions of citizens, all who constitute a portion of
the governing foreo, ure necessarily partici
pants In it. But wo repeat, tho whole thing is
reduced to a definite aud positive shape—these
negroes nlways must and always will remain
here, and always must and always will bo re
tained in social subordination to the white men
of tho South, and the only questions, therefore,
for Northern men.to put to themselves arc thus-
to truly comprehend this condition, or to dissolve
their connexion with the .South—for we take it
that no honest or sensible man can look for
ward to an eternal or permanent contradiction
betweeu his conscience aud his political obliga
tions.
Tho Day Book is a Democratic journal and
takes a uoblo stand for our side of the question.
When we have such friends as this, there is no
need to fear the assaults of all the abolition
journals in the country.
PiMliot In Tennessee—.1.1 vea anil Prop
erty Destroyed.
From an nccouut iu the Fayettevile Observer }
of the recent floods in Lincoln county, Teim.,
we extract the following:
For several days previous to the 4th and
6th, the weather was almost oppressively warm,
with a brisk gule from the southeast, and the
atmosphere becumc ladencd witli vapor. Sun
day morning condensation was effected, and the
result was showers of rain in such profusion as
to cause the whole face of the earth to resem
ble a vast extended sea of water. The showers
continued until Tuesday morning—the hardest
and most destructive being on Monday night.
In its course, it uprooted trees, tore nwny fen
ces, drowned stock, wushed awuy crops that had
already given indications of agenerous harvest,
and swept oil’ the the ploughed soil, leaving tho
farmer tne sub-soil to plough and plant again.
Ho fearful have been its ravages in some local
ities, as to destroy almost if not entirely, the
probability of a crop this year, havink carried
away both fences and soil to such an extent as
to render it uncertain whether the farms can be
enclosed and ploughed in time to replant.
Tho County Treasurer, too, has not escaped
unscathed. Cane Creek Bridgo, two miles be
low here, erected some ten yeurs since, at a cost
of about $2,500, Is gone. We havo heard from it
since it left. It wus for down the river, going
on, still uubrokeu.
There is no wav of properly estimating the
amount ofinjury inflicted upon the planting in
terests of this county, taking iuto account the
washing of soil, the dainago to growing crops,
the loss of rails, tho drowuing of stock, and the
time aud labor required to restore things to the
condition in which they were lieloro the inunda
tion. This much we do know—that the loss
sustained by the agricultural community is
immense ; and we hope never again to nave
to record such wholesale destruction.
But the loss of property is not the only injury
that tho county sustains. Was that all, then
could it bo more easily endured. We might
then by industry, und economy, repair the dam
age, But unfortunately, we ure called upon to
ciionicle a loss which neither the wisdom of man
nor his best efforts can restore. Some, while
enjoying tho refreshment of sloop which wear
ied nature requires, were unaware Bwopt away
by the feurful tide, and, drowned in its flood.
The house of Mr. Goorgo Bramo, on Mulberry
Creek, wus tom from its foundation, carried off
in tho stream, and his four children drowued;
und Mrs. Brume was so badly injured by tho full
ing timbers und drift, that her recovery is very
doubtful. Two daughters and a grand-child of
Mr. .John Clarke, near Petersburg, on Cane
Creek, were washed from their tads and drown
ed. Also, a negro man in the employ of Mr.
RoBlwrough, „on Cano Creek, was drowned
on Tuesday, while getting rails out of tbe wa
ter.

London, May 3.-A treaty between her Majes
ty, the Emperor of the French, and the Emper
or of Austria,gurranteeing the independence and
integrity of the Ottoman Empire, was last night
presented by the Ministers to both houses of
Parliament. The treaty consists of the follow
ing articles:
Article 1st. The high contracting parties
guarantee jointly and severally the indepen
dence and integrity of the Ottoman Empire, re
corded in the treaty concluded at Paris ou the
30th day of March, 1856.
Article 2nd. Any infraction of the stipula-
tioasof the said treaty will be considered by
the Powers signing the present treaty as a ca
sus belli. They will come to an understanding
with the [sublime tt Porte as to the measuers
which have become necessary, and will, with
out delay, determine among themselves as to
the employment of their military and naval
forces.
ENGLAND AND THE UNITED STATES.
Among the official papers presented in Par
liament last night, is the reply of Lord Olaren-
don on the part of the British Government, to
the despatch of Mr. Marcy, dated December
last, in which he announced that Mr. Crampton
had become an unacceptable representative of
Her Britannic Majesty at Washington, and re
quested his recall
The Daily News comments upon tbe subject
as follows:
“That which Mr. Crampton did was done
openly and frankly. He announced to the Cab
inet at Washington that the Queen’s Govern
ment would be glad to receive recruits in Hali
fax for a foreign legion, and for months and
months he explained all his plans to Mr. Marcy
—showed Mr. Marcy Lord Clarendon’s instruc
tions on no account to run any risk of infring
ing the laws of the United Statas. He remain
ed in the most conMEM ^uajnunication with
Marcy on theas U. her.ame
apparent that ihtr United otSles Government
were averse to the scheme, it was abandoned,
and the depotatHalifax was broken up. Toask,
under suoh circumstances, for the recall of Ur.
Crampton, is really to invite the English Cabi
net to disgrace itself for the amusement and
gratification of tho Government at Washington,
and we confidently trust that the good sense of
the American people will see the matter In this
light.”

Til rilling Scene—Wallcor’s Clemency.
The El Nicaraguense publishes uninteresting
account of the pardon of two soldiers belonging
to Gen. Walker’s army just on tho eve of the fa
tal shot that was to send the unhappy men into
eternity. It appears that at Rivas, two sol
diers, one a German and tho other a Chileno,
were caught asleep on their posts, os sentinels.
A court martial was ordered next day, and on
tho trial both culprits plead guilty. The court
pronounced the penalty of death prescribed in
the articles of war, and the Commander-In-Chief
approved the finding.
Next day was fixed for the execution. Tho
fatal day came and as the hour of, sundown ap
proached, ull tho Americano in the eity, togeth
er with large crowds of the natives assembled
on the Plaza. The offleerof the day led out
tho prisoners liotween two rows of soldlera, and
the solemn procession moved on to tho mourn
ful music of the dead march. A spot was se
lected In front of the unfinished church, confes
sion administered, the Hhooting party stationed,
tbe bandages tied, the culprits placed with tbeir
backs against tho wall, and everything made
reedy for the fatal word.
An unusual stillness pervaded tbe crowd, and
every cue felt u growing sympathy for the un.
fortunate beings thus self-condemned. Both
bore themselves with fortitude, particularly the
Chileno, who was one of tbe original eighty who
first ernne into Granada with Gen. Walker. As
the fatal minute came a pardon was proclaim
ed from Gen. Walker, and instantly a thousand-
voices proclaimed the magic word. Tho Chile
no was raised on the shoulders of the crowd and
carried in front of the General’s quarters, whore
a round of cheers was given. The clomenuy
of tho General met a responsive chord In every
heart.

to pay his expenses as Governor, and he
begged, therefore, to be removed from his
office. As his writmi complaints to this
effect led to no result, he came himself to
Teheran to urge the matter on his royal
nephew. The latter,ns anxious, it appears
of hearing good stories ns the great Ha-
rounal Raschild was, took sometrou-
blo in getting nil kinds of people to speak
out, and curious was the information they
gave.
One evening when a party pas assem
bled at the Palace, the Shah came in
with the "wrinkles of thougtfnlness ob
scuring his ligbtful countenance.” AVhon
asked for the reason of this "world-distres
sing" state, he answered that lie had had
a serious dream, in which his guardian
angel appeared to him, ull resplendent
with light and glory, and told him that he
had good news lor him, and that if lie
searched a certain spot in^u certain garden
of Teheran, which belonged to his beloved
uncle, the poor mid distressed Governor
of Mazinderan, he would find a treasure,
which like all under ground treasures,
belonged to the Shah. The courtiers
naturally suggested that the guardian
angels valuable information ought to be
turned to account, and trusty officials
woro sent to act on his advice. The re
sult was that 300,000 gold pieces were
found in the spot which had boeu designa
ted in the Shah's dream. Curiously
enough, and unfortunately for tho Qovoru-
or of Mazinderan, tho gold pieces were
all of now date, which upset the Shah’s
original idea that it was a treasure, hid
den by infidel guebres in olden times,
aud he had his uncle thrown into prison
for not having given information of the
treasure, andln order tojforce hint to tell
where other such treasures were to be
found.
