GnVh Waiktr'i himgilmU
In his letter to the President, accepting the office which
he holds, Gov Walker announced that he would, in the
exercise ot ,ts functions, preserve a strict neutrality between
the parties, who, divided by an irrecom-iliable antagonism
feeling aud opinion, were struggling for the mastery in
the territory, over who*© affairs he was called to preside,
j his declaration ot neutrality, together with his talent, ex
perience, and eminent administrative ability, made his ap
pointment acceptable to the South, (although that vague,
indefinable shadow, which for years has lested upon his
character, prevented a hearty, cordial, and undoubting eu
dorsement of the fitness and propriety of his nomination,)
and the hope was generally indulged and expressed, that
und-r his administration of its affairs the question of sla
very in Kansas would have a peaceful solution, satisfactory
to ail sections ot the Union. This hope was
for very soon there were unmistakeabie indications, that
the newly appointed Executive of Kansas, was not impar
tial between the northern and southern parties of that Ter
ritory, and that in the administration ot his officejie would
not observe that policy of official non intervention, which
he had prescribed tor himself in his letter of acceptance,
r irst came the reiteration ol Hie declaration trade by Gov.
Walker, in the last Presidential canvass, and ex:en?ively
published throughout the Northern States, that Kansas
under the laws of climate and population, must inevitably
be a free State—an unfavorable indication of the animus
with which he would assume the office ‘ot its Governor. ‘
Next cine a manifesto to the people trora the Hon. F P. !
Stanton, Secretary ot the Territory, who, jr the capacity
ot Acting Governor, had been sent to Kansas as Walker’s
ay ant courier, in which it is announced that the Constuu
tional Convention, called expressly for that purpose, by the
recognized Legislature of the Territory. Will not settle the
question of slavery, but that action will be submitted to
all the actual residents of the Territory, for their ap
nroval or rejection. Next ca'rne a speech fiom Governor
Walkey himsed, delivered at a complimentary dinqer given
to him in New Yoik, iu which ho reiterates and endorses
the proposition of Secretary Stanton, iu language so dicta
torial and objectionable, that we re-produce the passage
from his speech entire:
“The people of ‘.hat Territory had a clear and unques
tiqnable right to decide for themselves upon the adoption
ol a State Constitution, and any attempt on the port of
any Convent ip n or any other body of men , however res
pectable and influential they might be, to impose upon the
Territory a Constitution not sanctioned by tha popular
vote, would be a usurpation and a wrong which could
not be tolerated for a moment. So far as the utmost ex
ercise of his official powers and his personal influence
would go to secure that result, Gov. Walker said he was
determined the people of Kansas should have an opportu
nity for a full, tree, and solemn expression of their will,
upon the adoption of any Constitution that might be fram
ed, after a fair and satisfactory census of all the bona fide.
inhabitants who might be in tho Territory at the time. He
considered it due to them. It was part of their inherent
and inalienable sovereignty. And he should consider it,
not only a point of law undo! official duty, as an officer
ot the Territory, but a point of honor, as a man aud a gen
tleman, to do everything in his power to secure to them the
full, fair, and undisputed exercise of this fundamental
right ”
This was certainly sufficiently explicit, but if any doubts
existed in reference to the policy which In would pursue,
after the delivery of this dinner speech in New Yoik, they
are effectually removed by his official inaugural to the peo ■
pie ot Kansas. The extracts from that address, referring
to the subject of slavery, which we published yesterday,
develop© the same policy as that disclosed in the New York
speech—a policy of intervention in behalf of the free State
men oi the Territory—a policy antagonistic to that of the
pro slavery men of the Territory—a policy which, if it is
adopted, must make Kansas a free Slate.
The address is a free Slate document throughout. First
there is a long, earnest, beseeching appeal to the free Stale
men to participate in the election of delegates to the Con
vention which will meet in Sepn njber to frame a Consti
tution aud State Government. Then there is a distinct as
surance that the pro -lavery Constitution to be adopted by
that Convention will be submitted for ratification or rejec
tion “by a majority of the then actual bona fide resident |
settlers ot Kansas,” coupled with the declaration that, un
less the Constitution is so submitted, “it will be, and ought
to he, rejected by Congre.s.” Then there is the suggestion,
that slave labor would be unprofitable in such a blimale as
that of
will be a free State with the earnestly expressed hope that
it will not be a uegro stealing tree State, or as the Governor
polit ly phrases it, that it will, in its Constitution, “secure
to the State ot Missouri the faithful performance ol all con
stitutional guaranties ” And then, finally, there is a sug
gestion that a slave State may be created out of the Indian
territory, on tha Southern limits of Kaunas. Why should
the Governor ol Kansas go out ot his way to propose the
creation of a Slave State out of territory south of it, it it
was not to give a sop to the South, and present this hope ol
a Slave State as a prospective compensation for the toss
of Kansas? Why should he recommend the action which
Kansas as a free State should take, if he did not believe
and intend that as tar as he could influence the result, it
should be a free State ? Why should he argue against sla
very, by suggesting that the climate ot Kansas would ren
der slave labor unprofitable if he was not disposed
to make Kansas a free State ? Why should he insist that
free State men should abandon their Topeka constitution
and bogus State government, and participate in the election
of delegates to the Constitutional Convention, it it was not
to prevent the South from profiting by the folly of its ene
mies ? Why, above nil,should he urge that the constitu
tion to be adopledJn September should be submitted to a
vote of all those who, at the time of its adoption, are set
tlers of Kansas, unless it is to give to the free Slate men an
opportunity to reject the proslavery constitution which will
then be framed ? Ihe address, we repeat, is a free State
document throughout*, and pledges the. personal and offi
cial influence of the Governor of Kansas to make it a Free
State. How ?
The destiny of Kansas, as free or slave, will turn upon
the mode in which its Constitution is submitted to the peo
ple,if it is submitted. That Constitution will allow slavery,
and the delegates w ho will frame it propose, that it shall
be submitted for ratification or rejection, to their constitu
ency, to the people of Kansas who elected them, to those
who by tho census token under the Constitutional Conven
tion act. were ascertained to be, actual bona tide residents
of the Territory. This is the policy of those of the pro
slavery men of Kansas, who yield the point that the Con
stitution must be submitted. If this policy is carried out,
:tie Constitution will he ratified by the popular vote, and
Kansas will be admitted into the Union, as a slave State.
But Governor Walker, dictates a different policy, i e., that
the Constitution shall be submitted “for ratification or re
jection, by a majority of the then actual bona fide resident
settlers of Kansas.” in other words, that it shall he submit
ted to all the inhabitants of the Territory at the tune of its
adoption.
Thete is no provision in the Constitution which requires
that the people of a Territory* met together in Convention
to frame a JState Constitution shall submit their action back
again to themselves—the people. There is no precedent
which requires this, for it is a fact that two thirds of the
Strtes of this Union, are members of the confederacy un
der which, up to this time, have never been submitted to
th* ir people for ratification. There is up reason to justify
the alleged necessity for such a submission, for in every
proper view s os the nature of a convention of the people
called expressly by a competent authority, to frame a State
constitution, ,it is an embodiment of the sovereignty of the
people— it is the people, and there is no reason in appeal
ing from the people— to the people. But notwithstanding
there is no provision of the Constitution, no precedent, and
no reason requiring it, Gov. Walker asserts that the right
of the people of Kansas to pass upon the State Censtilu
tian, to be adopted by the people ot Kansas in Convention
is “a great consttuticnal right,” a ‘‘clear and unquestion
able right,” a ..fundamental right,” a “part of their inherent
and inalienable sovereignty,” and declares if tho people are
to be permitted to exercise it. that Congicss will reject the
Constitution, which the people in convention shall adopt.
If Walker’s policy is carried out, it the Constitution is sub
mitted, and submitted to all the inhabitants of tho Terri
tory at the time of its adoption, the Constitution will be re
jected, for the Territory in the meantime can he flooded by
emigrants from the North, and Kansas will be admitted in
to the Union, if admitted at all, as a free State.
Perhaps this solution of the Kansas question would
strengthen the Democratic party of the Northern States,
as it would enable them to point the people of those States
to an extension of the “area of freedom” under the practi
cal operation ot the principle of the Kansas Nebraska bill,
and thus confound the Black Republicans who have al
ways contended that that bill was practically a surrender of
t'he territories of the Union to slavery. Perhaps there are
men at the South, conservative, cautious men, of that class
who would sacrifice a principle or an interest to shuffle off’
a grave issue, who would accept it as a fiual settlement of
an irritating and annoying question. But no result could
be more disastrous to the interests of slavery and of the
South—and it should be resisted at all hazards and to the
last extremity. There are two ways in which it may be
avoided. T’he delegates to the Constitutional Convention
may refuse to carry out the policy dictated bv Gov. Walk
er; or at the eleventh hour, an inundation of ‘actual settlers’
from Missouri may meet tho inundation of’actual settlers’
from the free States, and rescue the pro slavery consttution
at the ballot box.— Augusta Constitutionalist.

Letter from Capt. Davis to Com. Mervine—His Nar
rative of Walker's Capitulation—Seizure of the
Schooner Granada-
U. S. Snoop St. Mary's, at Sea, )
May 1?, 1857. )
Sir : At the latest dates of my despatch, I had the
honor to say that l was then waiting for a favorable
movement, when, by a timely and effective interposition
of my good offices, 1 might hope to engage ti e attention
of the contending parties, to bring their aft'.iirs to a peace
ful issue. Tbe information brought by Lieutenant Me.
Corkle, who returned on the 29i.1i ult., determined me to
go to Rivas the next day.
I reached Gen. Mora’s camp on the afternoon of the
30th, accompanied by Dr. J. Winthrop Taylor, the sur
geon of ibis ship, aud by my coxswain, und another of
my gigsmen. After half an hour’s conference with
Gen. Mora, I exchanged several notes w th Gen. Walk
er. which are transmitted herewith, (copies of which
have already appeared in the public prints,) numbered
from 1 to 6.
Three interviews took place between GeD. Tfenning
sen and Col. Waters, representing Gen. Walker, and
myself, assisted by Dr. Taylor. At the last of thtse,
on the morning of the Ist, the agreement, a copy of
which is numbered 7, received my own signature and tbe
signatures of tbe other gentlemen present, and having
been returned to Rivas, was brought back by Col. Wa
ters signed by Gen. Walker ; G< n. Mora then address
ed to me the communication marked No. 8.
At 4 o’clock I tntered Rivas, in company with Gen.
Zavala and his staff, who attended Gen. Waiker and bis
staff to Sail Juan del Sur, where the latter embarked on
board the St. Mary's.
In Rivas, the American troops, about 240 in number,
were drawn up in the plaza, anl the agreement was read
to them in general orders, and they were transleired by-
Gen. llenningeen, to my charge. Having no lieuienaDt
with me, I requested Dr. Taylor to direct their move
ments and accompany them to Virgin Bay in the morn
ing ; which service, though entirely exira professional, he
did me the favor to accept most cheerfully ; aud he ex
ecuted it with perfect success.
Gen. Canas havirg eutered to take possession, I turned
over to him the plaza of Rivas by means of tbe note (the
original of which is in Spanish) numbered nine. After
which Oeßefa! /fefiblsgisa fifld sent
Juafil
Oa (he 2J last., hsfflfig ekeftod ttiyself id Vain to Per
suade Gen. Walker to piace the schooner Granada in
my keeping, I gave to Lieut. ‘Mu ury No. 10 , finally,
however, when the prep rations fur the forcible seizure
of the schooner were completed, she was delivered up to
the U. S. by the accompauymg order No. 11.
Tiie duty of conducting the Americans from Virgin
Bay through the province of Gt a.-acaste to Puma Are
nas, aud thence by steamer to Panama, was assigned
to I/eut. McCorkle? by the accompanying oroer. No. 12.
On the evening of the 2d inst., I w ent to Virgin Bav,
where I found most of the officers and men in good
spirits, and behaving exceedingly well. Lieut McCof
kle had already begun to regulate the supplies and divide
the people into messes—the company organization
lost. In this he was ably assisted by several officers,
whose amiable conduct under these difficult circumstan
ces, comm aided my respect and grateful acknowledg
ments. The troops embarked for Tortugr.s on the morn
ing of the 4th inst.
On tiie morning of the 3-1 inst , I crossed over to Ri
vas. where I visited the hospital, aud the sick end wound
ed Americans in town. Your special attention will
be invited to this subject iu a separate commanica
tion.
The accompanying letter from Gen. Mora, No. 13,
was handed t<* me h*-re.
The schooner Granada or San Jose w-a 9 transferred lo
the authorities of Nicaragua, by the accompanying lettets
numbered 14 and 15, the former of which explait s con
cisely for this manner of proceeding.
As soon as certain information was received of th-* de
parture of Col. Loekridge from the San Juan river it
became eertaiu that Gen. Walker, now deprived of all
possibility of receiving reinforcements, and rapidly con
suming his horses and mules, must either succumb to the
superior force of the enemy, or try his fortune in a
change of place. It was the opinion of these who had
better means of judging than myseK, that one month
ago, he could have passed the enemies’ lines, and main
tained himself in the open country. Siuce that time,
desertions h and become so numerous and frequent, not
only diminishing his army in numbers, but demoralizing
it in character, thst towards the cud of April, the only
resort left to Gen. Walker, was to cut his way down to
the coast and take refuge, if possible, on board tho seh< on
er Granada. Here, again, lam citing the opinion of hit
friends. According to the best intelligence, such an at
tempt would have terminated fatally in less than five miles
from Rivas.
The time had then fore arrived for determinisg on the
course to be pursued in the case anticipated iu your first
letter of instructions of January 19th, that is, “in the
event cf the expulsion of Walker and his forces from
Nicaragua, by the allied armies, and cf bis departure to
adjacent territory in Central America, for the purpose ol
hostile and aggressive operations.”
When I considered that, under these circums ances,
the G;anada would be destitute of a legal commission
from any recogn z_d government, or from any party act
ually existing ; that she was no longer acting under the
authority of a sovereign State,’or even of a distinct or
separate government in such State—the party which had
hitherto been deemed a belligerent nation, having lost its
footing in the country ; and that, as 1 well knew, she
would be under the necessity of procuring, by violtnee,
the indispensable means ol subsistence, 1 could not bring
myself to consent that the Gr nada, thus charaoteristd,
should pass from under my guns out upon the high s*as.
Accordingly, on leaving the ship for Rivas, on the 30th
April, 1 handed Lieut. Maury the memoranda of ins'ruc
tions numbered IG, and in conference with Gen. //en
uingsen and Col. Waters, I made known to these gentle
men toy decision.
Daring ail the transactions related in the report, my
intercourse with Gen. Mora, the commander-in.ehi< I ot
the allied armies was intimate. * * * (Here
was a paragraph containing an extravagant compliment
to Gen. Mora, which the Department being ashamed of,
desires suj pressed.) * * * * *
l am very conscious that in these novel and unusual
occurrences, 1 may have often to ask for my conduct the
kind and candid construction of the Department, Foil
ing secure in the enjo)ment of its favorable disposition,
while engaged in the performance of my duty, 1 should
not allude to it here, but that Gen. Walker lias iduiged iu
imputations . against myself and the three senior Lieu®
tenants of this ship, of couduct not only improper, but
even base b—-unbecoming our honor.
Knowing whatever unwilling mistakes of judgment we
may have committed, that we l.tvtr wavered in our in
tegrity, or relaxed iu our zeaj to serve our countryman,
we reflect with satisfaction upon the defence afforded us
by the friendship and protection of the Department at all
limes, but never more than when we are absent on the
public service.

DIED,
At his residence in Dublin, Laurens countv, on the Ifith
of May, 1557, Dr. Charles B. Guyton, aged 44 years.—
Long the family physician of many of our citizens, and
their representative in the Legislature of this State, his en
ergy, perseverance and fidelity in the discharge of his du
ties, eminently entitled him to the esteem and afieetion in
which he was held in this community. His manly virtues
and the generous impulses of hia nature endeared him to
ail, and have engraven hia memory upon the hearnj of
those who knew him. ■

WTEj the Grand Juror* cf the Sesond Pah®!, make tho
T y following Preaentrtients.
Tno Commttee on the state of the county Treasury
find that the Books of the Treasurer have been examined
by the ’'Committee of the former panel, and reported
thereon. There is no difference in the amount on hand
($24.10,) ten dollars being uncurrent funds.
The Books of the Clerk of the Superior Court have
also been examined, and we fully concur in the report ol
the former panel.
We also concur in the report of that panel relative to
the Roads and Bridges.
This Jury are of the opinion that the most perfect ad
ministration ol justice cau be secured only by Judges of
tried ability and integrity. It is therefore indispensable to
retain men of worth and puriiy of character; to prevent
as far as possible, Judiciary honors from becoming - such
honors as only the weuithy can maintain; and it is equal
ly indispensable that our judges should enjoy the means
of-support compatible with the dignity of their station.—
To secure all these objects, and to meet the increased ex
penses of living in every section of this country, we deem
it necessary that the salary of Judges of the Superior
Courts in this Slate should be increased to at least $3,000
per annum: and we Tecomtneod to our representatives and
Senator in the next Legislature to usd their best exertions
lor the accomplishment of this object.
We have examined the Books ot the Ordinary and In
ferior Court, and find them neatly kept and in good order.
We feel indebted to the Ordinary, John Johnson, Esq.
for his report and information relative to the amount of
the Poor School Fuud, its disbursement, &.0., during the
year last past. From him we learn that the whole number
of poor child en returned ri 973; the number of days of
teaching by all the teachers is “44,618 and the sum paid (5
cents per dav,) amounts to $2,239.90

From the suggestions ot the Ordinary, we recommeud
that the sum ot $22 obe raised the present year tor Poor
School purposes We also suggest (as we deem the pre
sent law defective) that all applicants for leaching Poor
children should submit, to proj>er examinations as
to their capabilities for leaching; and also that the Ordina
ry be empowered to select a suitable person in each dis
trict to make out a li-t of all children entitled to tho bene
fit of the Poor School Fund, and make ,an annual return
thereof to the Ordinary. Also that the Ordinary be eni
powered to strike from said lists the names of all children
whose parents are pecuniarily able to give them a suitable
education.
We tender the thanks of this body to his honor, Judge
Worrill, for the faithlul discharge of the onerous duties of
his office, and lor his kindness and courtesy to the Jury.
Al.-o to the Solicitor Gencral for prompt services and gen
eral politeness to each merncer of the body.
We request that these Presentments be published in the

How often do we hear the enquiry made, what can I
get to cure this violent cramp I am nightly subject to? I
well know the cause to be my too frequent indulgence in
eating the vegetables and fruits of the season, besides ta
king a dozen or more glasses of ice water during the day
—consequently, must pay the penalty. Our advice to such
would be, always to keep a bottle of Hostetlers Celebra
ted Stomach Bitters in the house, a-it will afford instant
relief to any person having Cramps, Spasms, Cholera
.■Morbus, sec., which are generally the result of over in
dulgence tn vegetable diet, in tact, when interest is con
sulted, no family can afford to be without these Bitters.—
They can be had of otir druggists for one dollar per bot

Tiie Greatest Discovery of the Age,
It seldom occurs, under any circumstances, that we no
lice patent medicines, restoratives, or anything of the kind,
for we have a prejudice against most ol them. But cand or
compels us to invite attention to tho advertisement of Prof.
Wood’s Hair Restorative in the last column at the bottom
of the third page of this paper. We are too juvenile to re
quire anything of the kind, but some instances of its use
have come to our knowledge which almost assure us that
it is a sovereign remedy against tho hair becoming prema
turely gray, it is not a “Hair Dye;” but upon its applica
tion as directed, the effect ri produced on the skin, which
bring* out the original, native colored hair, without stiff
ness, and gives it a glossy and natural appearance. We
have seen persons who have used it, aud they are much
oleased with it. Examine the advertisement.—Missouri

I began to be affl.cted iu 1844, with Catarrh, ar.d tbe diffi

on the longs was such, -'that I could not breathe when in a
horizontal or reclining posture: and many nights during
the last two jears I aninyedno sleep except what t could get
ir at king my room. My breathing the day was indes

AND PHffi NIX BITTERS.
THE test family medicine now before the public for the
cure of Scrofula, Ulcers, Scurvy, or Eruptions of
tho Skin, Fever and Ague, Dyspepsia* Dropsy, and, in
fact, most all diseases soon yield to their curative proper
ties.
It has been computed, that during the last twenty-five
years, upwards of four millions of persons have been hen
efitted by the use of these medicines; a fact which speaks
volumes in favor of their curative properties—a single trial
will place them beyond the reach ot competition in the
estimate of every patient. By their use ihe BLOOD IS
RESTORED TO A HEALTHY STATE and freed
from all impurities. The syriern is not reduced during
their operation, but invigorated, and they require no re
straint from business or pleasure.
The afflicted have in these medicines a remedy that
will do for them all that medicine can possibly effect.

ONLY ONE BOTTLE

DR. SANDFOSD’S
INVIGORATOR,
Oil LIVER REMEDY,
IS REQUIRED TO OURE ANY ONE TROUBLED WITH
1 Liver Cos nplaints, unless the most deperale of c&?Pß,wheu
the second bottle will, with scarce at single failure restore the
patient to health and vigor. We wish* to call the attention of
all to these lacts, that the Invigorator is compounded by a
physician who bus used it in his practice for the past twenty
years with a success almost Incredulous, and that it is entire
ly vegetab e, being composed wholly oi gums.
triune idea of the strong h of .these ,gums may be formed
when it is known one of the Invigorator contains as
much strength ns one hundred doses k ol Calomel, without any
ol its deleterious .effects. j
One bottle is the surest “thing known to carry away the bad
effects ot mineral poison of any kind.
Only one bottle is needed to throw outof the system the ef
fects of medicine after along sickness.
One bottle ;taken for jaundice removes all yellowness or
unnatural color from the skin.
One dose after eating is .sufficient to relieve the stomach
and prevent the food *£rora rising and (souring. j
Only one dose taken belore retiring prevents nightmare.
One dose taken at night loosens the bowels gentlyfaud cures
cosvlv jness.
one dose taken after each meal will cure Dyspepsia.
One dose of two tea-spoonsful will always relieve Sick
Headache.
One bottle taken for fen>ale obstruction removes the cause
>f the disease, and makes h perfect cure.
Only one dose immediately relieves cholic, while
One dose often repeated Is h sure cure.for Cholera Morbus,
Hiid a sure preventative of Cholera.
One dose taken often will prevent the recurrence of bil
ious attacks, while it it relieves all painful ,leeings.
One or two taken occasionally is. one ol the best rem
edies for a cold ever known.
Thousauds of cases of it.datamation and weakness of tbe
lungs have been cured Oy tho invigorator.
One dose taken a short time belore eating gives vigor to
the appetite and makes food digest w. 11.
One dose often repeated cures chronic diarrhoea in its worst
forms, while summer aud bowel complaints £ yield almost to
the first dose.
one or two dotes cures attacks caused by worms, while for
worms iu children, there is no surer, .sater and speedier rem
edy in the world, us it never fails.
There is no exaggeration in these ’statements, they are plain
md sober lacts, that we can give evidence to prove; while all
who use it are giving itheir unanimous testimony in its favor.
We wish all who are sick and debilitated to try this remedy
and teat it thoroughly, and any who fare not benefited by its
uie we should like to hear from* as we have ‘yet to hear from
the first person who has u.l a bottle of Invigorator without
receiving benefit,‘or k there are such astonishing mediciual
> Irtues in it, that all, no matter show flong they have been af
fected, it their complaint arises from a deranged liver, will be
benefltud, if not entirely cured.
