| “A gentleman of this city, while passing along the street
i a few days since, was accosted by a stranger, who presented
j him a small package. He found within the parcel a da
{ guerreotype case, which opened with a spring. On touch
! ittg it, the lid flew up, and exposed to his astonished vision
a perfect likeness of his two young daughters, whom he had
left more titan a year before in the east. At the head of the
picture wits the inscription, “Hebe we are, Pa.” The de
lighted father, as might be expected, was completely over
come by the affecting incident.”— Sarramento Union.

| Sullen, and gloomy, and cold,
Hurries last through Sacramento’s streets,
For his heart is fixed on gold.
; A year has gone by -a lonely year—
Os nil and peril and strife ;
And an ocean roils its waves between
The wanderer and his wife.
Is he happy ? Ah, did ye not hear,
As he passed, that weary sigh 1
And heeded ye not the restless glance
Ol his wild, sunken eye?
A stranger greets him a moment, and leaves
j A package for his own hand ;
Eager he breaks the seal, as he sees
It comes from his native land.

When, like the light of a star,
’Two sweet faces look up into his,
Laughing out ‘Hero we are, Pa.’

Their gentle voices he hears ;
Rut he cannot speak—the words are choked
in a bursting flood of tears.
What now to him are sparkling sands
In the mountain streams that shine !
He’d give them all, could those little arms
Round his neck again entwine.
Then ho cursed the demon of the mine,
Whose serpent-tongue had told
Him, the tempting lie, that happiness
Must be bought with yellow gold.
For he lelt that Nature’s purest gem
1- a tear when true friends part ;
And love, the brightest diamond in
The mine of the human heart !

On theslope ofa sunny hill;
And lie saw the gold of his harvest fields.
And hoard the hum ol the mill.

And his old dog leaped up to his lips,
And barked long and joy.

Flies swift through the whitest a foam,
And a care-worn man sings mournfully.

Speech oj Ex-SecreUiry Clayton Relative to j
Centra! American Affairs.
Mr. Clayton commenced a speech in vindica
tion of himself, and in reply to the debate.on the j
Clayton and Buhver treaty, lie said, that in
rising to address the Senate, after his long ah- I
j settee, he felt much embarrassed. He first en- \
i tered the Senate twenty four years ago, and i
j among those now present there was not a face :
whichwas there then. Ofall those who were then j
present, and who had given such character to ;
the Senate not one remained in the chamber.— j
j The last of them was the present Vice President, j
| He alluded in high terms to Mr. jiving, for
his honor, integrity, and ability. He felt em
barrassed further because he was obliged to !
defend himself from the charges made against l
him in the Senate, on the 6th of January last—
charges against his conduct in the performance i
of his public duties. This was tfie time in
I his life that he had been called upon to vindicate
1 itis character from such gross accusations. He
; intended to discuss the treaty which he had i
negotiated witli Sir Henry Bulwor, and in so;
j doing he would speak of others with all the re- j
j spent possible, consistent with his duty to him- j
; self. While a member of the Senate hereto
fore, lie never made an assault upon any one in
! debate, and never was engaged in a personal
j controversy in the Senate, unless provoked in
; to it by the other side. For everything ho had
| said or should say in debate, he held himself res- j
pousihle here & everywhere else, ns a gentleman
and a man of honor. He did not profess to be
long to that school of puppies who show their
| courage by their silence when hung up by the
j ears. He regretted the absence of the Senator
from Michigan-much that he would have had
! to say of him would be ommitted, because of
j that Senator’s absence. There were many things
| he would say to that Senator which he would ;
| not now say, because he did not approve of j
i the course of attacking absent men, or those 1
j who are not a position to reply at once to what , !
! was said,and defend themselves immediately.— j
1 He would however, defend his own course ; and j
! in defending assaults upon himself, he was apt !
j to carry the war into Africa. He then referred |
; to Mr. Cass’s speeches in January last, and .
I complained of their gross injustice, and to the j
| authorized statement of Mr. King, through Mr. j
; Bragg of the House, which Mr. Cass had never
i taken any notice of. tie knew nothing in his j
relations with Mr. Cass which would have led
him to expect such treatment at his hands. That \
Senator had once obliged a friend of his. and j
he thought he had returned the obligation by
obliging a friend of that Senator’s While the I
treaty was under consideration, lie had held sev- j
eral consultations with Mr. King, and they .
I both agreed that in the treaty there were to he
i no recognition of any right ofGreat Britain to
the domain fin Honduras—they both believing
i that Great Britain bad no other right there
j than t!ie right of occupancy for certain pur
j posesunder the treaty with Spain He then eon
j tended thatthis oc nothing eise, was recognized
by the treaty.
He denied that the explanations of the
treaty by himself anti Sir Henry Bnhver were
unknown to General Taylor's cabinet at the
time of their exchange, as had been insinuated
int ‘0 debate in the Senate. He then entered
into a historical and geographical examination
of the territorial and political boundaries of
Central America, and into an elaborate exam
ination of this point, as commented on by the
Committee on Foreign Relations. Mr. C. had
just concluded on this part of the question, when
lie yielded the floor to
Mr. Smith, on whose motion, the Senate went
into an executive session, after which they ad
ornment.
Taking of Truxillo by the British.
\\ e extract from the True Delta ;i part of the
I letter of one of its correspondents in reference
i to the British acts in Central America:
M vf.<zk, Hondmas, Feb. 24, 1853.
Editors True Delta: in my last, i informed
you that the authorities of the State of Honduras
had taken possession of Limas. I have now to
inform you that 11. M. war-steamer Devastation
came down here, and after having taken on
the Superintendent and his Secretary, sue pro
ceeded to the town of Trtixillo, where they
finally offered to the Government of that town,
for the State of Honduras, as an ultimatum that
they must decide in two hours, either to give
up the territory to the parties from whom they
had taken it, or to stand the consequences; which
was supposed by the Honduranoes to he hot
shells and cannon balls. So, they decided to
give up to superior force: at the same time, they
solemnly protested against the conduct of H. M.
Superintendent, the officers of the Devastation,
and the government of England, asserting their
inalienable rights to tha country, and declaring
! that they only gave up to superior force, under
j compulsion; that they only promised not to in
| terfere with British subjects, because they were
not able to drive them away; and finally ap
pended to Almighty God to witness the outrage,
and punish the nation which thus, at the mouth
of her cannon, despoiled them of their territory.
I will also further inform you, that the original
right to cut mahogany in that part of the coun
try was granted by the State of Honduras to
Archibald Montgomery, and during the time
which he used the privilege, he always acknowl
edged that right, and paid that State for the
trees; entered and cleared his vessel at Trux
illo, anil in every way complied with the laws
and requirements of the State of Honduras. In
1546, Mr. Montgomery sold his entire interest in
Hondu lastoJohn Carmichael & Cos., who es
tablished a house here under the name and firm
ot Auto, Mather & Cos. For a time that house
also complied with the laws of Honduras; but
finally, they made a much better bargain with
the “King of the Musquetoes,” and hoisted his
fl ag , refused to pay Honduras for the mahoga
ny trees; to enter or clear their vessels at Trux
illo; and. in a word, entirely repudiated Hon
duras. These are the true facts of the case.
As Honduras is a part of Central America,
you u ill easily see that England means to treat
tin; Bulwor and Clayton Treaty as so much
useless parchment. Nor is this all; the entire
country will assuredly fall into the hands of
Great Britain, unless the United States inter
sere, and demand and insist on a faithful obser
vation of that treaty.
Mrs, Tyler’s Letter.
The letter of Mrs. John Tyler, to the lady
Abolitionists of England, is about to have as
good although not so profitable a run, as Mrs.
Stowe’s “Cabin.” It has not only gone the
I rounds of the press of the United States, but
i we see that it is inserted in the London Times
j ol the 15th ult., and is deemed of such impor
j lance that that great journal criticises it in the
leading article. The elitism of tho Times is as
| mild and favorable as could perhaps be expec
: ted from a journal holding such opinions on the
j subject of slavery. It candidly admitsthat Mrs.
| Tyier’s castigation of the Duchess of Suther
land A: Cos. is as severe as well merited. The
| following is an extract from the article of the
I Times :
j “When we have said that Mrs. Julia G. Tyler’s
; line is principally retaliation of the most screech v
and indiscriminate species, wo have expressed
our opinion both of the Sutherland address and
o! the American reply. No address ought ever
\ to have been published that could provoke such
a retaliation, and when such an address has!
once been published and repudiated by the
good sense of the country where it appears, the
person to whom it is addressed, will show much
j better taste by leaving it alone than by repeat
ing the error. In fact, it is rather to the credit
ol the American ladies that no one has yet been
i found to retort but the mistress of a tobacco
i plantation, who wields the pen with a signiti
i mint fierceness, and who was singled out as one
of a thousand ata reply.
I “Our fair castigator does not leave a raw place i
| untouched. Ireland, the metropolis, the Dttnro- j
! bill estate, the old slave trade, the Duchess of I
Sutherland’s diamonds, our pressgang— nay, the |
very amount of our poor rates and charitable |
collections, our Queen, our Bishops, our States- \
men, our cotton, imports, and our crocodile tears, j
are all lashed in succession with merciless dex- J
teritv. 1 here is not a point oi the whole body
; politic that does not come in for its share of the
chastisement. For all this we have to thank a
| little coterie of lady philanthropists who were
too much affected by the sufferings of‘Uncle
Tom’and his heroic young friends to remember
that those models ot excellence were born and
j bred under tiie very system denounced. Our
vocation as journalists brings us into too close
j familiarity with the brittle nature of our own so- |
j cial fabric, and we hesitate to throw stones
which our opponents will he too glad to throw |
; hack at our heads. The temerity of the Sutber- I
land appeal served only to show that the fair ap- :
| pellants were not sufficiently acquainted with j
tiie evils much more within their reach and j
\ their sphere of obligation.”

The Destiny ol Hungary.
At the conclusion of a very able article in the last
Edinburg Recieio, we find the following graphic de
scription of the future of Hungary.
*******
So ended tiie Hungarian war ofindependence.
The sword was laid down and the work of the
executioner’s axe begun. It has been an elevat
ing but distressingjvision. A nation, strong in her
right, driven to extremes, defends herseil, and
at first bumbles her aggressor. Hurried into ex
tremes herself, she falls.
Os tiie two men who bad her destiny in their
hands, one is under surveillance, and if not a
prisoner, is certainly a pensioner of the enemy.
Tho other is wandering in distant countries,
seeking help for his down-trodden fatherland.
One has hitherto been the object of the execra
tion of his nation and of mankind. The other
has received the homage of the two greatest
people in the world. One had too low an opin
ion of the cause he defended ; the other es
timated it too highly. Gorgey judged first as a
soldier and then as an Hungarian; Kossuth/iryt
as a cosmopolite and then as an Hungarian.—
One wits too near, the other too far, for the
mark.
This mark was nationality, the dearly bought
jewel for which the Hungarian has so often shed
itis best blood ; the oriflamme which will at this
moment alone inspire him, and which he will
follow so long as his name exists. It is his re
ligion, his history, his literature, his country, the
very atmosphere he breathes.
But the struggle in another light cannot be
considered as a mere national affair. It was one
of principle:—Hunguary, the isolated and con
stitutional, against tho absorbing centralisation
and absolutism of Austria. Such a struggle, in
order to yield a decisive verdict, ought to have
been left to itself; but Austria did not conquor
by the vitality of her institutions or the energy
of her forces. She was obliged to have recourse
to foreign aid. Such victory is a defeat as it
respects the settlement of tho two principles in
volved, and likewise as it regards the future
greatness of Austria. Three years have elaps
ed since Hungary was crushed before the Czar,
ami placed at the foot of the Emperor of Aus
tria. But has Austria made one step in the ful
filment of her centralising scheme ? It is still
the state of siege which maintains her tranquili
! ty. Her reluctant subjects, deprived of the last
shadow of a representative system, are held in
subservience by terror, not by love.
Austria is a hollow name ; we meet with Hun
garians. Bohemians, Germans, Italians, Boles,
but no Austrians. A native of the proviuce of
Ducal Austria Proper, who ought to be the most
proud of his name, will say, l am a Viennese, or
speak of some other town or district as his place
of birth, hut lie will -never boast of his great
Austrian fatherland, Despotism may exist if
j based on nationality. The proud eiris roman us
: sum was the link which kept together the ern
-1 pire'of the Catsars. The autocracy of Russia
stands on this foundation ; but what has Austria
j given wherewith to inspire her subjects! bom
! bardments, massacres, and executions!
It is not difficult to foresee what will be the
future of that tendency to centre all goeernment
in the rulers alone which is now creeping over
tiie Continent. Least of ail does mystery hang
over the fate of Austria. Its doom is written in
language as clear as that which flashed in fire
throiuih th” banqueting hall of Babylon. YVe
see an image of gold, iron, and clay ; but the
gold has been corrupted and tiie iron weakened,
and what now remains of either is but a scale
to hide rather than adorn the earth of which the
image consists ;—and it is hut an image after
all, for where is the life? The House of Austria
must now stand alone. The last golden link
which bound Hungary to its ruler?, and to which
ago had imparted the reverence due to antiqui
ty, lias been melted ill the fire kindled to burn
up a nation’s liberties, and to forge, not chains
of love, hut the fetters of servitude and humili
ation. This unhappy House, deceived by its
1 successes, may think it has quenched the spirit
of freedom, hut the world’s records are a proof
that the strongest arguments of despotism so
lavishly used by imperial oppressors—the hang
man, the axe, and tho prison,—are inadequate
instruments for suppressing the breath of a na
tion which pants for liberty.
Were the millions of voices which cry, ‘llaza
es Szabadsag,’ (country and freedom) in the
Magyar tongue, silenced by the Austrian execu
i tinner; or were the millions of hearts which
animate tlio.se tongues impaled in a death-strug
gle on the bayonets of a mercenary Austro
llussian bust—Hungary would not be dead -
The destined avenger will yet arise.
Fori, Mi kdkr. —A most foul and wanton
murder was committed, on Saturday morning
last, on the person of a Mr. Keffman or Heff’r
non, from Lincolnlon, North Carolina, near the
Sandy ford, in Spartanburg District. It appears
the deceased was travelling with a wagon and
two mules, and had camped out for the night.
When found in the morning, he was lying on
the ground near the tongue of his wagon, dead,
with his face and head cut, apparently with an
axe, so shockingly that his features were with
difficulty recognized.
There is no doubt hut money was the object
of the murderer,’as, when last seen, on Friday
evening, the deceased had in his possession from
340 to SOO, and when found his pockets had
been rifled of their contents, and no clue could
he found to the perpetrator of the bloody deed.
We hope a strict watch will he kept, and the
villain receive the punishment his black deed
licJilv merits. — Lauren.sr.Ule Herald.
