Newspaper Boys. —The New Hampshire Patriot,
the leading Democratic paper at Concord, says the
printing office of that paper has been the graduating
school of a Governor, a Senator in Congress, several
Representatives to Congress, many editors, some minis
ters, and many other young men. who have filled at va
rious times numerous responsible stations in the com
munity.
Louis Napoleon. —“ Louis Bonaparte,” says Victor
Hugo, “is a man of middle height, cold, pale, slow in
his movements, having the air of a person not quite
awake, fie has published, as we mentioned before, a
tolerable treatise on artillery, and is thought to be ac
quainted with the manceuvering of cannon. He is a
good horseman. He speaks drawlingly, with a slight
German accent. His histrionic abilities were displayed
at the Englinton tournament. He has a thick mous
tache, covering his smile, like that of the Duke d’ Ar
tuise, and a dull eye, like that of Charles IX.”
The Illness of Vice President King.—A letter
from Washington, dated the 6th inst., says:
“Hon. W. R. King has made his will. He was bom in
1786 ; owns 5,000 acres of land in one body in Da! las coun
ty, Alabama, and upward of one hundred slaves. His entire
estate i- worth about 8150,000. He is a humane master.—
He told me some years since that he never sold hut one slave
in his life, and he was compelled to sell him because he was
a terror to the neighborhood. Col. King cannot possibly
recover. His physici an has sounded his lungs with the
stethoscope, and declared that one of his lungs is entirely
gone and the other partly so. Col. K.’s neiee, Mrs. Ellis,
is with him.”
A Commendable Rule. —The Democrats of Phila
delphia city and county have adopted a neat set of
rules to govern their primary ejections in June-next,
and among them is the following:
“If any candidate for any office, by offers of gifts of meat,
drink, money, or any valuable thing, is found guilty of at
tempting, directly or indirectly, to influence the vote of
any Democratic citizen at the election on the second
Monday in June, or of any conferee, his name is to be

Refusal of Billy Bowlegs to leave Florida. —The
National Intelligencer confirms the report that Billy
Bowlegs has been compelled by his followers, particu
larly his sister and Sam Jones, to refuse the compliance
with his promise to leave Florida. He had taken to
the everglades, and as a regiment of “Cow-boys” or
“Crackers” is being raised in Florida, to pursue him,
we may expect to hear soon of the commencement of
another troublesome Indian war.

l’urtlieuParticnlars ol’the Accident to Geu.
Pierce and family.
We gather from tde New York papers some ad
ditional particulars of the rail road accident by
which Geri. Pierce and wife were injured and their
son killed:
Tite train was composed of a baggage and passen
ger ear only. The exact cause ot the accident is
not definitely ascertained ; one of the axle trees is
supposed to have broken ; some say it was the
journal on which the wheel plays, The day was
very cold—the thermometer pointed at zero—and
the accident was doubtless owing to the frost in the
iron works of the ill fated car.
Mrs. Pierce and the de ceased son had been ab
sent four weeks on a visit to relatives in Boston and
Amiover. The accident happened near the latter
place. General Pierce went to Boston on Tuesday
morning, and with them attended the funeral of
Airs. Pierce’s uncle. Hon. Amos Lawrence, on the
same afternoon. They remained at Mr. Aiken’s, in
Andover, whoso lady is a sister of Mrs. Pierce, and
were expecting to return iu the evening.
The train in which they went left Boston at noon
on Thursday, and the accident happened just after
it left the Andover depot, twenty-miles from Boston,
at about one. They had not been iu the ears five
minutes.
Gen. Pierce, after the accident, appeared com
posed, but Airs. Pierce was taken away in a very
high state of mental anguish. Her screams were
agonizing. The little boy was their only child n
older brother having died some ten years ago.
At the time of the accident, Gen. Pierce was con
versing with Mr. Young, the superintendent of the
new Mills at Lawrence. Professor Packard, a rela
tive of Gen. Pierce, was in company with Mrs.
Pietee and her son, and the party occupied the for
ward part of the car, which was div ided iu the mid
dle. They were all thrown into a heap, one over an
other. Master Pierce lay upon the floor of the car,
with his skull frightfully fractured. The oap which
he had worn had fallen off, and was filled with his
blood and brains.
A little eirl of Mr. Newall, of Hillsborough, had
her foot crushed,and it must be amputated. Mrs.
Newall was badly injured, and Mr. Newall had a
leg broken: Mr. Horace Childs, bridge builder, of
Heuniker, was badly but not seriously bruised. —
Several women were severely bruised.’
The car is said to have broken near the middle.—
The baggage ear in front was not thrown off. A
brakeman -stood on the end of it and witnessed the
accident unharmed.
A dispatch, daied Concord, Thursday evening,
says:
Considerable apprehension is felt here lest this
melancholy fatality may prove serious in its conse
quences to Mrs. Pierce. She has been for several
years in delicate health, caused partly by the loss of
first child. The boy killed by this a'ceident was
ost idolized by his mother and father.
The announcement of the accident, at 4 o’clock, caused
great excitement in the House. A member came in and
said that General Pierce himself was dead. The floor
and galleries were crowded—the charge of bribery against
Judge Butler being under consideration. The Governor,
Council, and most of the Senators were present. Instantly
every member was on his feet, and exclamations of re
gret were heard from every one.
The veteran lehbabod Bartlett, of Portsmouth, the
oldest member—it political opponent, but stronli personal
friend of Gen. Pierce —was observed to weep like a child.
Others were much affected.
The house adjourned instantly, and the members rush
ed to the hotel and telegraphed office, and the most
intense anxiety to obtain particulars lias prevailed ever
since.
The little boy was a great fovarite with our town
people. He was rgreeably, kin-1, and generous, and
much beloved by bis playmates. When asked the other
day, “Well B-nny, bow do you expect to like living at
the White House ?” he replied, “I don't know about
going there to five at nil. I would rather go out to live
on a farm.”
Further Particulars, by Telbgrahh.
Boston, Jan. 7.—Gen. Pierce and lady arc now stay
ing at the house of John Aiken at Andover. Neither of
them have received much physical injury, but Mrs l*. is
pr.istratcd with grief at the loss of her son.
Mr Newell, of C rnbridge, one of the passengers is in

VF.COM, DISPATCH.
Boston, Jan. 7.—Gen. Pierce and his lady are still at
Andover, suffering slightly from their injuries, and over
whelmed with grief at the loss of their only child. The
funeral will take place at Concord to morrow.
The .Yext Administration.
The Boston Courier, a Webster Whig paper,
quotes approvingly, the significant article of the
N. 11. Patriot, in which the qualification for a
member of the government “shall be up to the
mark on all the great questions of the day.”
The Courier adds :
Such is the programme. There will be no diffi
culty in carrying it out. A firm hand is all
that is wanted. The country will sustain any
Administration that will act in a truly broad
and national spirit, that will go to the full ex
tent of its constitutional duties, while it keeps
within the just limits of its constitutional pow
ers’ Not belonging to the party in whose name
Gen. Pierce has been elevated to office, we have
less right to proffer him advice than many others,
but we have a right, to criticize and animadvert.
We preferred another man to him, but that is no
reason why we should not support him when lie
does right. He may rely upon one thing—so
far as he makes iiis administration a truly na
tional one, so far the nation as one man, will
stand by him.
The Boston Bee, a Webster Whig organ,
thus concludes a very long and interesting'arti
cle upon the course which Gen Pierce will pur
sue, based upon the instinct of the Editor :
And now since wo find in Franklin Pierce,
some very pure Revolutionary blood, some very
(inequalities—a heart big enough for the Union—
a head wise enough to separate the realities
from the shams, and a nerve iron enough iu
its texture to put into execution the sober judg
ments of bis reason, we flatter ourselves that
we shall have the government administered in a
way that will command the approval of all—even
of Webster himself, were he alive to weigh its
merits iu the impartial balance of his gifted and
imperial mind. And with this persuasion, firm
as the hills of his own Granite State, which has
given to the country’ some great and many wor
thy men, we take our present leave of this sub
ject, glorying, however, (mind you that, kind
reader, of this gospel revelation of the on com
ing events,) in our instinct, but in nothing more.
The Clay ton- Bulwer Treaty. — Conflict be
tween Mr. Clayton and Vice President King. —
Some days ago, we stated'hat Senator Cass had
asked iniormation from the Executive in regard to
new colonial lodgements made on the coast of Cen
tral America, in defiance of (he Clayton-Bulwer
treaty of the oih July, 1850. The broad terms of
that document are alleged to be, in part, as fol-.
lows :
“The Government*, V -Hie “oft.'.t Srali, and o f
Great Britain agree “that neither will ever obtain orj
maintain for itself any exclusive control over the
ship channel which is designed to construct;’/
and, futhermore, that “neither will ever erect 1 l
maintain any fortification commanding the same, -j
IN TIIE VICINITY THEREOF, or OCCUPY or fortify, k
colonize, or assume to exercise any dominion ovfr
Nicaragua, Costa Rica, the Mosquito coast, or ajy
part,of Central America.”
This explicit language, entirely unmodified iy
any subsequent clauses in the treaty, disclosed be
fact that GreatJßritain, aswell as the U. States, ws
not to “maintain” dominion over “any part of (fn
tral America:’ But the following “declaration'* of
Sir Henry Bulwer, and “memorandum” of Syre
tary Clayton, which, it is alleged, were not lirn
inunicated to the Senate at the time of the rati.ca
tion of the treaty, and, indeed, passed between
these functionaries after the ratification of the tfaly,
seem to give a very different coloring to the vliole
affair:
DECLARATION.
In proceeding to the exchange of the ratifications
of the convention, signed at Wasliignton, o the
l9ih of April, 1850, between her Britannic |ajes
ty and the United States of America relative jo the
establishment of a communication by ship cnjal be
tween the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, the finder
signed, her Britannic Majesty’s plenipotemiry, has
received her Majesty’s instructions to dechA that
her Majesty does not understand the engufenients
of that convention to apply to her Majesty? settle
ment at Honduras, or to its dependencies Her
Majesty’s ratification of the said convention is ex
changed under the explicit declaration abote men
tioned.
Done at Washington, the 29th day t June,
1850.
ri.L. BULVKR.
T > this, Mr. Clayton, replied, a the. Ist mo
ment on the sih of July, by the following;!
Memorandum.
Department of State, }
Washington, July 5, Itjb. (
The within declaration of Sir H. L. Buber was
received by me on the 29th day of June, £SO. In
reply, I wrote him my note of the 4th f July,
acknowledging that I understood that Brash Hon
duras was not embraced in the treaty of the 19th
day of April last, but at the same time carefully
declining to affirm or deny the British tit! in their
settlement or its alleged dependencies After
signing my note, last night, I delivered! to Sir
Henry, and we immediately proceeded, wiliout any
farther or other action, to exhange the rlifications
of said treaty. The consent of the Sunafc to the
declaration was not required, and the tfary was
ratified as it stood when itwas made.
JOHN M. CL At TON.
N. B. The rights of no Central Amerjtiu State
have been compromised by the treaty it by any
part of the negotiation.
This accordingly, was a formal and mist signi
ficant part of the treaty ; modifying its meaning,
and striking out, in fact, the very essetce of its
worth.
In his letter ofthe 4th of July to Sir jenry, Mr.
Clayton also remarks:
‘•The chairman of the committee on Ftreign Re
lations of the Senale, William R. King,informs me
that “the Senate perfectly understood thei the treaty
did not include British Honduras:’
With these official papers before the senate, Mr.
Cass addressed that body on the 6ih insant, in op
position to Mr. Clayton’s construction, {and made
the following declaration, on the authority of the
Hon. W. R. King, whose indisposition prevented
him from attending the session :
“Colonel King informs me,” he said, .''this morn
ing that he had made no such statement j that when
Mr. Clayton callletl on him, and hifonjed him if
the qualification pul in the treaty by (Aeat Britain
and asked if it should be sent to the Se,n|le, he (Mr.
King )to!d him that if it were sent to th Senate it
would not receive a single vote; but tial h had
belter dismiss the qualification entirely and let the
treaty stand without it. Cniilthe present itnehe (Mr.
King) believed this to havebeen done.”
Mr. Cass thought that it was proper So have thus
stated, publicly, that he never understood the trea
ty as did Mr. Clayton, and if he had, he never would
have voted for it.
On the other side, the National lnttlligencer
of Saturday contains the following note from Mr.
Clayton:
Wilmington, (Del.) Jan. 7,1853.
Messrs. Gales and Seaton : I was very much
astonished to-day on reading the attack made on
myself in the Senate yesterday. I have a letter
from Mr. King, Chairman of the Committee on
Foreign Relations, written to me on the day of the
exchange of ratifications of the British Treaty, the
19th of April, 1850, stating in the very words of my
letter to 11, Bui iver, what the Senate perfectly un
derstood, that the treaty did not include British Hon
duras. 1 will hereafter send you the original co
pie of'the correspondence between Mr. King and
myself.
My letter informs Sir Henry Bulwer that the tU
tie to Honduras was left as the treaty left it, with
out denying or affirming or meddling with it.
The British title to the Central American States
was recognized by President Polk in sending a con
sul, Christopher Hempstead, who remained in British
Honduras under the protection ol the British flag,
and by virtue of an exequatur obtained by Secreta
ry Buchanan from the British Government, nearly
three years, till I recalled him to prevent the possi
bility of any charge against President Taylor’s Ad
ministration of having recognized English authority
in British Honduras.
JOHN M.CLAYTON.
Mr. City on to Mr. King.
July 4, ISSO.
Dear Sit—l am this morning writing to Sir H. L.
Bulwer, and whileabnut to decline altering the Trea
ty at, the time of exchanging ratifications, I wish to
leave no room for a charge of duplicity against our
Government, such as that we now pretend that
Central America, iri ihe Treaty, includes British
Honduras. I sjrail therefore say to him in effect
that such constriction was not in the contempla
tion of the neafetialors or the Senate at the time of
confirmation. May I have your permission to add
that the true urjierstanding was explained by you
as Chairman of Foreign Relations to the Senate be
fore the vote vyis taken on the Treaty. I think it
due to franknds on our part.
Very triiy, yours, J. M. CLAYTON.
To Hon. \V R. King, U. S. Senate.

July 4, 1850.
Mv Dear Sr —The Senate perfectly understood
that the Tretty did not include British Honduras.
Frankness bdomes our Government, but you should
be careful n|t to use any expression which would
seem to reefcnize the right of England to any por
tion of Hoiiuras.
