He f :ues among us with a high character as a prac l •: railroad man, and we doubt not, in the posi t which he has assumed, he will gain new lan r-N for himself, as well as the company for whose benefit his services have been secured. "There are now finished two hundred and sev enteen miles of this road, and it is confidently expected that the whole road (two hundred and eighty-seven miles) will be completed within "reive months from this time.” Nr T Col. Edmund Bellinger, a distinguished • wer of the Columbia Bar, is preparing for publi m a Digest of the Equity Reports of South Carolina. IW A correspondent of the Newbury (KL Y.) Ga - , after describing the many matters of interest i and around Augusta, says: “We are very com '■'Tibly quartered at the Cnited States Hotel. The •rietor, Mr. F. M. Jennings (‘long may he ave’) is a native of the old Bay State, and has - ded South tor the past twenty years. We have a pleasant room and all the attention necessary to 1 ike us feel perfectly ‘at home.’ One glance at the good-natured face of his assistant, Mr. J. V. Flare, will suffice to satisfy you that Miss Mur • 'T, in her book on America, describing her visit ' Tic Stone Mountain, Ga., has, in him, drawn a faithful portraiture of the attentive landlord.” I-Sf* Mr. Clayton, of Delaware, on Monday, the • : 'h ins-, as we notice in the Washington Star > ad'L -sed the Senate at some length on the Cen ’ d American question, holding that Walker is a i-'an i oid outlaw, and that his acts and those of bis tollowers were unlawful, and that they must be put down. ■ ' was exceedingly severe on the Accessory v ' ! Company of Nicaragua, holding that they M S rfeited all claim to the sympathy of this *’ Tnment, by the aid and countenance they had -'- nto Walker. He reviewed the new grant of nsit right to Mr. Randolph, given by Walk is. and explained that it was one that by treaty ' *’ vernment and England must putedown. d ’ also warned the young men of the country - n-t identifying themselves with the fortunes of ’-keii, showing the illegality and gross impro : ri <“tv of so doing on their part. -A lomnto, on Wednesday, the sth inst., in the i •-? of Assembly, Mr. Mackenzie brought for ir'“ a resolution to the effect that the best inter ' 1 PPer and Lower Canada would be promt.- a repeal ot dissolution of the political or - -Native Union now subsisting between these ' of the province of Canada. The resolu put and instantly lost. America and the Cnited States.—The - -nmieiits of Guatemala aud Costa Rica have • ■1 a correspondence with our government • stion to the sailing of filhbusters front Cali Nicaragua. Mr. Maect, in his reply that our government has interposed every *3*l measure in its power. Central American Affairs.—lt is stated that information from official sources, received in Washington, confirms the fact that the alliance between San Salvador, Costa Rica, Guatemala, and Honduras, is completed, and those States are now prepared to defend their own territory as well as to assist their brethren of Nicaragua against the government of Gen. Walker. It is supposed that before this hostilities have commenced. It is also said to be equally true that instructions have been issued by the several European governments to their squadrons in the Atlantic and Pacific in re ference to events in Central America. New Hampshire Election.— The Boston Atlas gives returns of the State election in New Hamp shire from one hundred and eighty-six cities and towns, in which Metcalf, the anti-Nebraska can didate for Governor, has 28,530 votes, and Wells, the Democratic candidate, 28,160— Metc alf’s plu rality.lt is not probable that a choice has been made by the people. The indications an that the Democrats will share the Senate about equally with their opponents, but in the House the opposition will have a clear majority. The Arctic.— The U. S. steamer Arctic has now been out thirty-four days in looking for the Pacific. She lias on board live officers and a crew of four teen, with provisions and coal enough on board to last several months. It is possible she may have become ice-bound, or she may have gone to the Western Islands. Lieut. Hartstkjx will feel re luctant to return with no tidings of the missing ship. Americans on the Amazon.—Many of the disap pointed American gold seekers on the Amazon art said to have joined the Indian tribes, and become the terror of the Peruvians, upon whom they make incursions. A party of twelve of these Americans having robbed the villages on their way down the Amazon, shot a sentinel on the Brazilian border, and were followed by the guard, who killed eleven of them. The twelfth man escaped. A Governor Indicted. —Gov. Morehead, of Ken tucky, has been indicted by the grand jury of Scot) county for allowing one of bis negrees to hire his own time. The only difficulty in the matter is this, that after they fine the Governor he will be able to remit the penalty. Specul ation in Nebraska.— The Nebraska City Xeics says that a land fever is raging there. Claims of one hundred and sixty acres, within two and a half miles of that city, are selling at from SSOO to SBOO. For one farm joining the citv on the west, the owner has been offered $6,000 in gold, which was refused. Saltpetre in Tennessee.— A Company in Easi Tennessee has been formed for the purpose of man ufacturing saltpetre. Large quantities of the nutri ous earth are to be found in that section of the State. Circus Statistics.—lt is stated that there aiv twenty-three circus companies in the United States, ind the average expense of each daily, in the sum mer season, is $650 —in all about SB,OOO. The cost of fixtures, horses, Ac., is about $750,000, and em ployment is given to two thousand men, and an equal number of horses. It has already been stated that Jeddo, in Japan, has been destroyed bv an earthquake. Japan lias ’wo Emperors, one ecclesiastical, the other civil tnd military, who reside, the first at Miako, which is considered the first or most importout capital, though containing but five hundred thousand in habitants, and the second at Jeddo, termed the second capital, containing, liojivever, three times the population of Miako. A cargo of the iron for the Savannah and Gulf road having been lost at sea, the President of the Company, we learn, lias succeeded in purchasing another cargo of six hundred and ninety-one tons, now on the way from Wales to Savannah. In Pennsylvania, ninety-six anti-administration papers, (mostly Know Nothing) have expressed themselves on the Philadelphia nominations twenty-six endorsing the ticket—thirty-five oppos ing it, and the balance standing neutral. The Hath (Me.) Tribune says that within less than two months, eight persons have died in that city, whose united ages amounted to six hundred and seventy years, giving an average of eighty three years and nine months to eacii of the de ceased. It appears that the Governor of Oregon has al ready issued $4,000,000 in scrip to defray the ex penses of calling out volunteer soldiers to fight the Indians. Mr. Everett lias consented to lecture next month before the Young Men’s Mercantile Library Asso ciation of Cincinnati. Pardon op Criminals. —On the 23th ult. the Governor of Wisconsin sent to the Senate a list of forty-six persons pardoned out of the State Prison during the last year. Attorney General Clifford, of Massachusetts, expresses the opinion that the “liquor laws” of 1852 and 1355, in that State, have proved expen sive failures. Mr. Clinomax, of N. C., has nddressed a letter to his constituents earnestly advising them to sus tain the present Democratic administration and Democratic policy. Late news from Vera Cruz reports the death of the Revolutionary ieader, Haro y Tahaher, at Puebla. ' _ Congress, by the late Fortification bill, ap propriated eighteen thousand dollars for Fort Pu laski, near Savannah. Died, in Louisville, Ky., on the lltli inst., “Old Ben Dyke,” aged one hundred aud ten years and eight months. “ Hex,” says the Cmirier, “was a man of color, and a native of Maryland, from which State he emigrated when Kentucky was a complete wilderness, and our city but a mere out post on the frontier.” Adulteration of Lard.— -The New York Journal ' of Commerce says : Our remarks a lew days since about the adultera tion of lard for shipment, it appears, excited a sus picion that perhaps the same thing had been at tempted for the home trade. Some adulterations were formerly practised with Indian meal, but that discolored the lard, and the improvement on this art, lately imported from England, provides for the substitution of farina, which assimilates so closely to the genuine article as not to he detect ed by inspection. The suspicion excited by our comments was farther confirmed by the recol lection that some of the dealers in lard, who had purchased almost daily in the market, were also sellers at a price below the cost of their invest ment, and vet appeared to do a thriving bu siness. A test was now applied to a lot thus re sold to a Boston dealer, and the lard was subjected to the fire, when lo ! the owner had not onlv a | kettle of lard, but also a good sized Johnny cake, i nicely fried in the boiling fat. Shade of Bunker j Hill ! only think of a genuine from the counter 1 where wooden nutmegs are natives of the soil, • taking home with him such a mixture. A Yan- ' kee is never at a loss, and we have no doubt that a descendant of the man who made such a specula tion by shipping warming-pans to the West Indies, and turning them to good account as sugar ladles, will invent a new system of selling doughnuts al ready to be fried upon the application of a lucifer match, out of this doubtful investment. Spanish Silver Coin.— It is stated that the Fi nance Committee of the United States Senate have matured a project designed to lead to the gradual abandonment and ultimate rejection of the small Spanish silver coins as part of the circulating me dium and that it will forthwith be submitted to legislative action. The result of the experiments I to ascertain the value of the Spanish sixteenth, eighth and quarter of a dollar, is reported to the i Committee as indicating the first to be worth a : fraction over five cents, the second about eleven, j and the quarter about twenty-three and twenti - j four cents. The bill they have framed is believed | to provide that the existing laws authorizing the ■ circulation and establishing a value of all foreign coins, except the Spanish fractional divisions of the dollar, be at once repealed. As to these trac tions, thev allow them to oe circulated for two years at the value of five, ten and twenty cents re spectively, and thereafter they are to be excluded 1 altogether from circulation. But at the mint they j will, at all times be received as bullion, and paid j for by weight. • i From the Correspondence of the Savannah News. Washington, March 13, 1855. i . The case of Martin Speer, which is-now attract [ I tng universal attention, (from the fact that our | Minister, Col. Henry It. .Jackson, it appears, is about to suspend diplomatic relations with Count I «uol, and leave the Austrian capitol on this man’s account is one of the most important as regards the rights of an American abroad, that has ever occurred in the history «f our foreign relations. A greater case of outrage and oppression cannot be conceived. Mr. Martin Speer, a citizen of Brooklyn, New York, by trade a glass painter, while in the Aus trian dominions upon business altogether of a pri vate and innocent nature, was arrested by the police, kept in solitary confinement for seven months, not allowed to make his situation known to the L. S. Legation at Vienna; and then after repeated secret examinations before a Police Mag istrate, upon the clearest evidence of bis innocence, was convicted of high treason, and sentenced to ten years hard labor in irons, upon the trenches at Therienstadt, Bohemia. Upon the case being brought to the notice of the American Minister, Col. Jackson, he promptly interfered to effect the release of Speer, and after a correspondence with the Austrian Minister of Foreign Affairs, he being convinced that Martin Speer was not only innocent of any crime, but had been most outrageously treated by the Austrian authorities, Mr. Jackson (without waiting instruc tions from his Government,) made a formal for the release of Speer. Mr. Speer has a wife and five children in New York, who are naturally much distressed at his sit uation. Considerable curiosity is manifested in this city to peruse the correspondence, as it is intimated by those who profess to be informed, that Col. Jack son’s response to Count Buol in making bisdemand for the release of Speer, in point of ability, will compare with either Marcy’s Koszta letters, or Web ster’s reply to M. Hulseman. Truth. Embalming a Wife.— The following curious cir cumstance is just now creating some merriment in commercial circles. A Yankee captain, whose cargo was consigned to Messrs. Haring & Co., bad the misfortune to lose his wife, who was on board with him on the voyage, and being reluctant to throw the body overboard, resolved upon bring ing her to England, there to receive proper sepul ture. A portion of his cargo consisted of oil of cinnamon, ’i he captain took a sufficient quautitv, aud placed the body in it, thus eventually embalm ing it for the remainder of the voyage. On arriv ing at the port of London, the 5 ankee captain called upon the parties to whom the oil was con signed, aud requested to know how much he was to pay for the quantity of oil he had used. He was astounded at being told that the value of the oil so used was £OOO, and that he must immediate ly pay over that sum. Os course this was out of the question; and the captain was soon afterwards arrested for that amount, but was bailed bv Messrs. Baring, who, it is reported, have satisfied the owners. The custom authorities having been made ac quainted with the circumstances, refused to allow the cinnamon oil to be landed. The Yankee cap tain will have to take the cinnamon oil back to America, and there dispose of it. The oil is used for flavoring pies, pastry and perfumery. London News. Beggars in America. —Under this head a late French paper says that sometimes people in the United States go about begging with the greatest coolness. The editor then cites in proof, a case which he says occurred in New York, where a wo man called upon a family to ask for a subscription to buy a piano ! As an excuse, she said that sever al of her friends had them, she herself wanted to learn the instrument, but could not afford to buv one! Now, we can tell as good a storv as this, which has come under own experience liere in New Or leans, and within the past week. A female, dressed m deep black, called upon us for money, telling a piteous story of misfortune. She said'that a ves sel, on board of which herself, husband and chil dren had taken passage, bad caught on lire and burnt, that they bad lost their all, that her hus band, unable to stand up under the misfortune, had died, and that she was forced to ask for mo ney. “But, do you not wish for employment?” said we in our innocence ; “is there nothing which von can do to help support yourself and family?” “Ob! no,” was tlie quick response; “ f wish to raise money to buy a small house and farm in the country, where I can bring up my children res pectably and comfortably!” This woman, we would have the French editor know, was one of his own country women, from Lyons as she says, and she goes about with a paper, detailing the burning of a vessel on some river in France, on which her self and husband had taken passage, with all the particulars of the loss of her property. Perhaps she is a sister of the woman in New York, who is trying to raise money to purchase a piano. Picayune. Rather Queer Marriages. —ln Bracken county, Ky., Esq. Schoolfield recently united in marriage ; a bov aged fifteen years, weight seventy pounds, to a lady aged twenty-one years and weighing onehun dredandfifty poumU. In the same house, at an other time by another magistrate, the father of the aforesaid youthful bridegroom was married to a younger sister of the fat bride. The old man was sixty-five and the girl was seventeen years old. The boy-husband is brother-in-law to his father, and the old man’s wife is step-mother to her bro ther-in-law. The house where these marriages oc curred is a little cabin constructed of round logs, , and located in a deep hollow between two lofty hills, where the sun is visible only four hours dur ing each day. At Fenton, England, recently, Mr. J. Laidler, aged forty years, to tiie Dowager Marchioness of , Townsend, aged seventy. (Thecourtship was rath er curious. Laidler was employed in a linen dra per’s establishment at the West End, where be at tracted the attention of the old Dowager Marchio- . ness, so much so that in her matters of business | she would not be attended to by any other assistant, ' , or even by the principal himself. Nor would she j allow any one to bring her purchases to her lady- j ship's residence, but Mr. Laidler, On the death of j her husband she made hint an offer of her hand, which he promptly accepted.)
