O. Daily Picayune, March 30 i liter from Central America—Arrival of the Daniel Webster. , .• -amship Daniel Webster, Capt. J. W. Pat- | | from San Juan, arrived yesterday, f ’jjv this arrival we have the important intelli- j that war exists between Costa Rica and j Nicaragua. j i: will be recollected tliat we had the intelli t ulh by the steamship Prometheus that Colonel | • Jfssinger, who was sent from Nicaragua on a 1 -■■■m to Costa Itiea, would not be received, the yd i. av>n being that the Republic of Nicara- j yu has engaged the services of Americans in its ! i: ay establishment.. We now learn that Col. I le-singer had returned from his mission and i :■ ported that he had a favorable reception in one ( >yartiiu nt, but on arriving at l'unta Arenas, on . Pacitic, the native officer with him deserted, ; ; , i lie and Capt. Sutter were immediately sent, i under guard, out of the country, with threats ; (gainst all Americans. Ou the same day that Schlessinger and Sutter i ■ turned to Granada, as we learn by memoranda ■ urnished by the obliging purser of the Daniel : i ebst- r, an ambassador arrived from San Salvador i .aging despatches of a peaceable character, but i tug General Walker why he brought so many V . n -ans to .N icaragua, and, report savs, offer- , ,<ig him twenty-five dollars a piece to take them ' from the country. On looking over the papers we have received, we j ' :,:i i that Ji N : cjr,iguense, of the Bth inst., has an : ! article in reference to a passage in the message i ! M;v..red bv the President of Sun Salvador to the l i , gross of that State, wherein he urges that body 1 • , look with some anxiety to Nicaragua, as that i 1 - ~:■ has been increasing its regular army, and : 1 it without giving information of the reasons j : ■ ; T l . rto ih adjoining States. El Niearaguense, , ! complimenting the President of San’Salra- ' ; .r as .in intelligent officer, and one anxious for | * welfare of the Republic over which he presides, ! navi this is an error. It remarks : i * In the lirst place, Nicaragua is not increasing her army, and therefore the President had no real i 1 truthful cause of anxiety. Heretofore, and at all ' • ; lies, the standing army of this State has varied | * tv thousand to fifteen hundred men, and in times of war the number has been increased to j J iiiy-tivv and forty hundred men. This must be j to an to the Executive of San Salvador. To-day • a .av under Gen. Walker does not consist of * . • than nine hundred men—less than it ever rr n bet we —and vet the President of San Sal vador a ..■.■■iiadverts upon it as an undue enlargement. It i i .is been the con reded privilege of this State to j ' s • •;> an army of fifteen hundred soldiers, and un 1 * .uotli-r understanding is had, we cannot ac- j 1 k:>. .wlfdge the right of any one to take umbrage ! •' u: the enlistment of that number of men. When, ! s ■, the midst of profound peace, the Republic ex- " ■is this limit, then it will be time for neighbor . g mvrs to forewarn themselves of the fact. :.'i -V ; :7 .. vi calls the attention of the people ; ' : S ;u Salvad >r to this explanation, and inquires I J it they are satisfied, and then proceeds as follows: I: may not be improper, in this connection, to i * i ill the attention of Central America to the above i ' (gni’ieaut fact. Great anxiety has been expressed * i ail quarters at the complexion of our military 1 establishment, but we consider the above exposi- ’ 1 ; of its strength as the most convincing proof . 1 ■ pacitic intentions of Nicaragua. True, re- f -ins are coining in very rapidly, but soldiers are • juemly discharged, a great many die of disease. " i l - nr.-s are detached to labor on the public j * ss. There are no mechanics in the army but ' - as choose to stay there in preference to hiring i tin-State for liberal wages, and in all the de- ' jaruaciiis of labor men are taken exclusively front J 1 military establishment to fill the wants of the • (I rnm.-nt. A double duty is thus found for J •.vital strength there is in the military establish ;ent. auii for this reason the Government is ans- ! c ■usto re i'ivc reinforcements. Napoleon beauti- 1 tied an 1 enriched France while he maintained her c aiilitan strength, and so Gen. Walker is attempt ing to do in Nicaragua. The State is far behind J. in all tint ac ■ -series that contribute to internal : weal'll, aud to . veate them is now the intention of : 1 the Government. To this end labor is wanted, and . ?' those who enlist in the army are the only persons 1 to be relied mi to d > these works. The natives of j n the country are neither sufficiently industrious or 1 • uergetieto fulfill the demands of the day, and 1 they must therefore be temporarily superceded by ! v mot e competent persons. W’e tufti, i learn that on the loth inst. Gen. * Walker issued ihe following circular to the people : e ■>t Central At i ;ca, declaring hostility to ihe Ser- r Files: TO THE PEOPLE OF CENTRAL AMERICA. i Invite 1 to Nicaragua by the Democratic party of j e f Republic, the American force under my com- * mand has steadily struggled to carry out the prin- ! ? ctplvs for which the revolution of 1534 was under tai-a. In order, however, to consolidate a gener- i sene ,we were willing to bury past differences i and endeavor to amalgamate the two parties into i For this purpose we have since the treaty of ( ' : ber last, held in check our old friends, the c h ■ rats, and have attempted to conciliate the ' t ;i n formerly attached to the Government of Es- t trada. ' | 1 With the same view the Provisional Govern- j , ru f Nicaragua, although differing in ideas , and principles from the Governments of the other ■ States of Central America, attempted to establish j < frank and friendly relations with the neighboring : i 11 a lies. Our overtures of peace have been re- i j il. Our propositions of friendship have not < ■a’y be u disregarded but treated with scorn and ; i disdain. Contempt and contumely have been re- j t '■trued for the amicable messages we sent to other : j iovernments. The only reason given for such 1 ; ■nduct is the presence of American forces in the ! j 'tan- of Nicaragua. i.o -ls-styled legitimist party of Nicaragua has rs,. il-ed our efforts at conciliation. They have j ’ ..butained communications with their fellow-ser les in the other States. They have, by all means i their power, attempted to weaken the present ‘ Provisional Government, and have given aid and en-ouragement to the enemies of Nicaragua out v 1 1 of the Republic. In this condition of affairs, nothing is left for j the Americans in Nicaragua but hostility to the • >‘wiles throughout Central America. A very i ..-.rg pr >;>■••«! on of the so-called legitimists of this S:.ue are either open or secret enemies to onr pres etre on this soil. They owe us for the protection tLf-v have had for their lives and property; they h ve paid us with ingratitude and treachery. Against the servile parties and servile Govern nu.tr sos Central America, the Americans in Nic aragua arc is .Qnd, bv the common law of self-pro tection, to declare eternal enmity. Our proffered 1 'si-hip has been rejected. We can only make t: m • • ; that our enmity may be as dangerous and destructive as our friendship is faithful and true.

T:>it i xt day a formal declaration of war came I ' -sta Ri a Government —an address from ' ■ ’■* I’resi lent . f Costa Rica to the people of Niva- ' ' gua calling on them to rise and destroy the Americans.

Mora. ! rian Jose, March 1, 1356. Tht' was immediately responded to by the Gov ! of Nicaragua declaring war against Costa i Rica, as appears by the following publication in bl Aicarcujuense, of the 15th inst: General Orders — No. 55. : llbadqcartbbs of tiik Army, Adjutant Gen- 1 seal’s Office, Granada, March 13, 1556. j The tsupreme Provisional Government of the Re pubjic of Nicaragua having formally declared war, by decree of March 11, 1856, against the State of j Costa Rica, the Army will be held in readiness to j commence active operations. By command of Wit. Walker, , General Commanding- in-Chief. j I b. R. Thompson, Adjutant General, N. A. : We are informed that Gen. Walker, immediate : lv after the declaration of war, attended three hun dred troops across the Lake to Virgin Bav, that ! evening, and that after waiting a day to secure | supplies, he sent two hundred and eighty in a bat j talion of five companies into Costa Rica, Colonel ! Schlessinger commanding, until Walker himself 1 or Gen. Hornsby should join him. 1 An extra from the office of the Central American ; published at San Juan, dated March 15. gives a , translation of the declaration of war by the Presi dent of Costa Rica, and adds thereto the follow , ln 8 : : ar has been declared against Nicaragua bv tin- Government of Costa Rica, and three thousand j five hundred troops are under way, headed by Gen. Mora, the commander-in-chief. Baron Bulow is in the field with five hundred 1 men. ■ AV e are informed that the Transit Company have been notified to stop running their boats upon the i river, or Costa Rica will not be responsible for the consequences. The above is all the news we have as to the war, which, by the way, appears likely to involve all j Central America. PI Nlcaragaense, of the Bth, in noticing the in augural address of Santos Guardiola, newly elect ed President of Honduras, says: The document is conceived in the usual style of such communications, dealing altogether in' gen eralities. President Guardiola, however, plainly avows the disgrace of the State from the many civil commotions that have marked its past history; and honestly confesses that such a condition of anarch - , must eventually lead to a dissolution of the Gov ernment unless the evil is stopped. H* proposes to do this, and also to foster all the interests of the \ State, while he wishes to encourage the improve- ' m uits made by modern science in the works of 1 utility. \\ e cannot find a passage in the inaugural 1 calculated to inflame the people of Honduras j against the Republic of Nicaragua; but, on th" : contrary, it is eminently pacific. By private advices from Honduras, we learn, however, that the friends of Senor Undo, who was i defeated in the contest for the Presidency bv j Guardiola, are much inflamed at the result of th ■ : election, which they attribute to fraud, and there ! is already a strong tendency to another convulsion, j The truth of the report we do not vouch for. PI Xicaraguense, of the sth, also has an article in : reference to a petition said to be circulating among 1 the merchants of London, Glasgow, Manchester and Liverpool, addressed to Lord Clarendon, and I praying bis Lordship to take some active steps i with a view of preventing any excesses by foreign- j ers w ho may wish to wage war against the Repub- j lies of Central America. After remarking that | such a petition indicates singular ignorance of th state of affairs in Central America, El Nicaraguent | savs: It' those British merchants, instead of circnla- : ting such ridiculous petitions were to urge Lord 1 Clarendon to settle the Mosquito question, and j make a treaty of friendship and commerce with j Nicaragua, they would do much more to advance their true interests. The present movement in Ni- j caragua—or if the other States will have it so, in | Central America—is calculated to advance the com- ■ merce not only of Great Britain, but of the world j at large. A firm and stable government here ne- i eessarilv advances the prosperity of Manchester ' and Liverpool. El Nioiraguense then proceeds to declare that i there is no desire on the part of any foreigners in i Central America to wage war with anybody, ad- j ding: Nicaragua can clear her skirts of any such as j persion. Have we not supplicated our neighbors 1 for peace? Have we hot almost on bended knees I asked for rest and quiet in order that our resources j might be developed, and our commerce extended ? i Circulars have been sent to all the Central Ameri- I can States requesting, almost begging, thorn to en- 1 ter into treaties with us; but as yet they have not condescended to answer them. There is, however, a limit to our patience; there j is a point beyond which our humility cannot go | The Governments of these States may find that ; scorn will be repaid with a sting. But if we be ' forced into a war if against our will the neighbor- j ing States drive us to the last resort, the British i merchants will find that Nicaraguan armies can ; teach a lesson of moderation and subordination to : the established laws of civilized warfare. They will find that in Central America, as elsewhere, Anglo-Danish arts are the surest guides and firmest j supporters of Angh-Danish arms. Our race have ever been the architects of something better than j ruin. P : -Nicaraguaise understands that it is in content- ; (ilation, as soon as the proper supply of horses can be obtained, to mount two companies of nten, arm ed with Sharp’s rifles, sabres and revolvers, to be employed as rangers in the military service of th* State. The same paper has the following paragraphs : j The superintendence of Capt. Edward AV. Itawle j is fast bringing the Ordnance Department into a i most effective usefulness. A large detail of men is constantly employed in moulding ball, making ■ cartridges, and arranging the necessary appliances ' of those death-dealing instruments, the cannon, in ! the department. Interminable accessions of sa- j bres, guns, and the other etceteras of that depart- 1 ment are being made, and that branch of the army will soon bo thoroughly equipped. El Niearaguenre, of the Sth inst., has an account of the raising of the flag of Nicaragua for the first i time, in the centre of the pdaza of Granada. Amid the ringing of bells, booming of cannon, and the stirring strains of martial music, the flag was thrown to the breeze on the afternoon of Sunday, the 2d inst. The interesting ceremony was wit nessed by the greater part ot the soldiers and citi- ; zens of Granada. After a salute of twenty-one j guns was tired, and the guard marched to their posts, three hearty cheers were given for General ! A\ r alker, and the public ceremonies were ended, j The ensign of Nicaragua consists of three stripes, two of sky-blue, with a white stripe in the centre. In the midst of the white is a circular device of i the seal of State, and the representation of seven volcanoes, in token of the volcanic range of Nica- j | rugua. Congressional. Washington, March 31. —Senate.—Mr. Clayton, i i in making an explanation regarding his remarks the other dav, said that the whole cost of AA’ilkey’s Exploring Expedition, during the four years in which the Expedition was employed, including the ■ priming of the narrative, amounted to about sl,- I 250,000. The Senate then resumed the consideration of the resolutions! submitted by Mr. Iverson, provid ing that a committee be appointed, authorized to summon the officers of the Nava! Board, for the purpose of ascertaining the reasons which govern ed the action of the Board. House,—Mr. Haven introduced a bill, which was ' passed, for the enlargement of the Custom House, Post Ollice and Court House buildings at Buffalo. On motion of Mr. Phelps, the military committee were instructed to inquire into the expediency of 1 accepting the service of volunteers to aid in the suppression of Indian hostilities on the Pacific , coast, Mr. Iverson reviewed the action of the Board sympathizing with the unfortunate victims of that extraordinary tribunal. He could find no better parallel for the summary manner in which they disposed of the cases of naval officers than the ex '• ciamation of the “bump-backed tyrant—“off with his head- so much for Buckingham.” Origin of tub Words Yeoman and Esquire.— The title of yeoman was originally on a level with esquire. The title is of military •rigin, as that of i esquire and other titles of honor. Esquires were so called because in combat they carried for de ' fence an ecu or shield ; and yeoman, because, be sides the weapons proper for a close engagement, thev fought with arrows and the bow, which was made of "v-ew, a tree of more elasticity than any other. The name bow seems to be derived irom : vew, or vow l'row bow, as A\ alter is derived front Gua'iter, AA'ales front Gales. Dryden uses the word eug’ii for bow in his translation of the “ Enetd. “At the full stretch of both his hands he drew, >( And almost joined the horns of the tough eugn.

AA'rite to me very often ! AA’rite in the joyous morn— Or at the close of evening, AA hen all the day is gone; Then when the stars are beaming Bright on the azure skv, When through the fading forest. Coldly the wild winds sigh, Draw up thy little table, Close to the fire, and write— Write to me soon in the morning, Or write to me late at night. AA'rite to me very often, Letters are links that bind, Truthful hearts to each other, Fettering mind to mind— Giving to kindly spirits, Lasting and true delight; If ve would strengthen friendship, Never forget to write. The Peace Conference. THE REPRESENTATIVES OF THE GREAT POWERS. At the present juncture, when the entire civil ized world is looking with anxiety to the result of the conferences in Paris, a short biographical sketch of the principal actors —the representatives of the Great Powers—may not be uniuteresting. We therefore lay the following (which we find in the New York Journal of Commerce) before our readers: COUNT WALEWSKI. Count Colonna AValewski, French Minister of Foreign Affairs, and President of the Peace Con ference, is generally supposed to he the son of the Emperor Napoleon I, W_v a Polish lady of high rank ; descended from the ancient and illustrious family iof Colonna. Although not much more than fifty ! ' years of age, Count AValewski has been known to ; fame as occupying high positions of trust and dif j ficulty, for the last twenty-five years. Ilis first di • plomatie mission was to London and Paris in 1831, ' as envoy of the government of Poland, during the I last heroic but unsuccessful insurrection of that : j country against Russian oppression. After the fall « | of Poland, he established himself in France, where ! i his descent soon brought him into prominent no ; tiee, and in 1841, during the Syrian troubles, he j was entrusted by M. Thiers with a confidential ; mission to Mehemet Ali, the Viceroy of Egypt, 1 and subsequently, by M. Guizot, with a mission G I the Republics of South America. On ihe accession to the Presidency of the French Republic of his relative, Louis Napoleon, Count AValewski received the appointment of Minister of the new born Republic at the Court of the Grand Duke of Tuscany, whence he proceeded to ! Naples in a similar capacity, where he continued i until 1352, when he was nominated Ambassador of j France at the Court of St. James. He filled this i elevated and responsible post until after the well- ; known break up of the Vienna Conferences, in consequence of which M. Drouyn de L’lluys re signed the portfolio of Foreign Affairs, which was then offered to and accepted by Count Walexvski, who has since held it, and has thus had, both in his diplomatic and ministerial career, ample means of acquainting himself thoroughly with all the de- i tails of the matter in dispute between the Western Powers and Russia. Count AA r . is said to possess considerable wealth, is of pleasant exterior, and affable and conciliatory in lus manners. COUNT BCOL SCHAUENSTEIX, Austrian Minister for Foreign Affairs, belongs to an old Swiss family of the Canton of Grisons, where he was born in the year 171'7, educated for the diplomatic career under the immediate direc tion of his father, who was for many years Presi dent of the Diet of the Germanic Confederation, ; he entered public life as attache to the Austrian i Legation at Florence, before he had attained his j twentieth year ; since which time he has continual ly been employed actively in the diplomatic ser- i vice of the Austrian Emperors, having risen • through all the various gradations between the at- ! tache and the Ambassador Extraordinary. AVhen j the revolution of 1848 broke out, Count Buol was | Austrian Minister at the Court of Turin, and his prompt and energetic conduct at that time, in de manding his passports, without communicating j with his Government, the moment he observed a ! disposition on the part of Charles Albert to favor the insurgents at Milan, won him groat favor in the eyes of the then Prime Minister, Prince Felix i Schwartzenberg, and a prominent position amongst Austrian diplomatists. In 1850, Count Buol was .' Austrian Plenipotentiary at the Dresden Confer ences; in I ' 11, Ambassador to the Court of Lon don ; and iu 1352, Minister of Foreign Affairs, on the post becoming vacant by the death ofSchwart- I zenberg. Count Buol is said to possess the fullest confidence of the young Emperor, Francis Jo- ; sepli, ami to have received the most unlimited power to act as he may think best at tlte Paris Con- ! ferences. THE EARL OF CLARENDON. George William Frederick Villers. Ear! of Clar endon, British Secretary of Slate for Foreign As- ! lairs, is descended from a younger branch of tim ■ house of Jersey (AHiliers ami Hyde, the descend ant of the famous Hyde, Earl of Clarendon, Lord : Chancellor of England, father of Anne, wife of i James IF. The subject of this notice, now rep re- 1 sentative of Great Britain at the Pans Congress, j began Ins diplomatic career in lsen, attache to : tlie British Embassy at St. Petersburg, which post ! lie abandoned three years afterwards for the more lucrative one of Commissioner of Excise in Ire- j land, which lie continued to fill for ten years. In i 1833 he was entrusted bv his Government with a special mission, of considerable difficulty, to Mad rid, where he remained for six years. On the deatli of his uncle, Mr. A’llliers succeeded to the family title andjestates, and entered the Melbourne Ministry as Ford Privy Seal. He was appointed to succeed the Earl of Bessborough as A’ieeroy of Ireland in 1847, and is said to have filled that ar- i dous and difficult office with satisfaction to all par- j ties. AVhen the coalition Ministry of Lord Aber deen was formed, the Foreign Department was en- I trusted to Lord Clarendon, over which, under the : leadership of Lord Palmerston, he still presides. . Lord Clarendon possesses a high order of ability, is a ready and fluent speaker, exceeding affable in I his manner, thoroughly acquainted with the rou- j tine of office, and of advanced liberal opinions. COUNT OIILOFF. The Russian plenipotentiary, Count Orloff is a | member of one of the oldest and most illustrious, families of Russia. In early life he is now above seventy years of atre —he entered the military ser- ; vice, and having distinguished himself on many occasions during the war of Napoleon, more par- I tieularlv at Austerlitz and Borodino, he was ap pointed General of Cavalry, and on the occasion of the outbreak which took place at rit. Petersburg, after the accession of the Emperor Nicholas to the throne, lie displayed the utmost coolness and dis- ; cretion, and aided materially in quelling what at one time threatened to be a wide spread insurrec- j tion. For this, and his subsequent devotion to the service of the Emperor, he was honored by dis- : tinguished marks of the Imperial confidence, and was nominated as Russian Plenipotentiary to sign the treaty of Adrianople, by which the war with Turkey of 1325-’2'J was brought to a close, lie I also signed the treaty of Unkiar-3kelessi, on the i part of Russia, concluded after the defeat of Ibra him Pacha’s expedition against Turkey. Since j | the death of Count Benkendorff, Count Orloff has j been employed in various posts of confidence near i ‘ the person of the Emperor. He is Aide-de-Camp j General of the Emperor, General in the Army, i Commander of the Imperial Household, Privy ' Counsellor, and Chief of the Gendartnie of the i Empire. COUNT DK CAVOUtt. The Sardinian Envoy, Count de ( avour, though belonging to an old and noble family in Piedmont, . did not become known as a public man until 1848, ! when he was chosen a member of the newly created i ; Sardinian Parliament, and there brought himself j I into notice by the liberality, soundness, and mod- ; oration of his views. In ‘lßs<\ he became a mem ber of the Azeglio Ministry as Minister of Com- : merce, and in this capacity, introduced the free ' trade svstem and other commercial reforms info 1 Piedmont, which have materially enhanced his reputation as a statesman, and been ot immense advantage to this country. On the ’or. uking up of \ the Azeglio Cabinet, lie was deputed by the King, j j A'ictor Emanuel, to form a new Ministry, over which he at present presides, holding at the same time the portfolio of Finance. ALI PASHA. The Special Envoy of the Sultan, Ali Pasha, like many others who have risen to the highest emi- I nonce in Turkey, is of extremely humble origin, and commenced his career i:i a very subordinate employment. Unlike most ofhis countrymen, he de voted himself to study very early in life, and is now believed to be the most learned and accomplished ! scholar of his country. Brought into notice by ■ his protector, Mehemet Alt, he gradually obtained advancement in the service of the State, and dur ing the revolution in Hungary of 1848-’ 19, was chief | of the foreign department, ( Rets Eftendi, ) at which time he rendered himself particularly obnoxious ! to Russia, by his obvious partiality for the strug ‘ gling Magyars, and after their fall, by his magnan ! lnions protection of those who had taken refuge within the dominions of the Sultan. He has since : been appointed Grand Vizier, the highest office in ; the empire, atnl although he is personally nnpop l ular with the British Ambassabor at Constantino ! pie, Lord Stratford de Redcliffe, and said to be of 1 the’French party, he is generally admitted to be a : man of high ability, great learning, liberal views, . j and spotless integrity. , It requires capital to start a newspaper; it will l stop itself. From the Correspondence of the London Times. Austria. \ ikxna, March 8. About :wo months since von I were informed that the relations between Austria : and the United States had not only crreatlv im , proved, but that something vas passing between them which was kept from the knowledge of the ! public. The mystery is at length cleared up. An I Austro-Ameriean Commercial Company is about to I be formed, and the Miuistenal Austria explains | that the principal aim of the establishment will be | to open a direct trade between the United States j and Austria, ‘so that there shall no longer be such i heavy expenses for agency, warehousing, Ac.’ It need hardly be said that the Austrians wish to | import their cotton, coffee, Ac., direct from Amer- I ica, instead of getting them second-handed from I Liverpool or London. Nothing has yet been open | Iv said of a treaty of commerce between Austria i and the United States, but there is a strong im pression on rny mind that at no distant period one • will be concluded. Can it be that Austria is en | dearoring to play off the United States against ! England ? i It is related that when the Empress is confined | there will be further amnesty in Hungary. A person who is on extremely intimate terras with Prince Gortschakoff, this morning related ■ that the Russian diplomatist seems to be convinced ! be shall at no distant period be Minister for For- I eign Affairs. Either Prince Gortschakoff deceives himself, or Russia is not seriously inclined to make j peace. IT ALT. I A letter from Rome, of the sth uh., in the Dehats, j says: : “ Rumors are current that Cardinal Aliieri will I go to Paris to represent the Pope as godfather to I the infant of the Emperor at the ceremony of the i baptism, but others think it probable that there ; will not be any special envoy, the Nuncio in Paris i executing the mission. On Sunday last, being the ; fourth Sunday in Lent, the Pope gave his benedic i tinn to the Golden Rose at the Sistine Chapel. It j is said that it will be sent to the Empress of the I French. It is a very ancient rite of the church that • tlie Pope should, on the day just mentioned, bless j a golden rose, which it is a custom to send to a ; sovereign, to a celebrated church, or to some end j nent personage.

Called Meeting, ) I April 2d, 1856. )" Present—The Mayor; and Members—Messrs, j lllodget, Laroche, Walker, Conley, Butt, Stark, j Goodrich, Bassford. The minutes were read and confirmed. The following Report from the Committee mi the 1 Accounts was read and adopted: To the Oitp Council of Augusta : The Committee on Accounts beg leave to sub- ! mil an Ordinance fixing the rate of Taxation for the present year. It must be borne in mind that the half per cent. 1 tax on Real Estate, which was levied in the year j 1*4.% for the purpose of building the Augusta j Canal, expired with the payment of the last iustai ! uien; of the one hundred thousand dollars, in May last. The outlay, however, for repairs and other ex penses upon the Canal, amounting to about ten '■ thousand dollars annually, still continues, which, with the interest on the additional sum of two i hundred and fifty thousand dollars that the Canal cost over the original estimate, and which has to ho provided for bv general taxation, together with increasing expenditures incident to, and attendant upon, the growth of the city, makes it necessary i for the City Council to assess a rate of taxation i somewhat higher than has been levied for some j years past. Vour Committee regret this, vet they console themselves with the fact, that even with the in- ; creased rate, the taxes of the city of Augusta arc still much lower than those of any southern citv of its size and population ; and they believe that with prudent management, the City Council mav I continue to maintain this position, and also pre serve the high credit to which her resources justly entitle her to enjoy. The Committee would re spectfully urge upon Council the most rigid econ omy in the expenditures, with a view to keeping the expenses within the limits of the receipts ; un- i less this is done, it will force the City Council to increase the debt of the city, which, under any eir- j cumstances, is to be deplored. Benjamin Conley, j William Mah.vkrky, -Committee. William llight, ) Mr. Conley introduced the following Ordinance. : Unanimously passed : AN ORDINANCE To raise supplies for the year One Thousand Eight Hundred and Fifty-six, for the support of the ; City Government, to keep the Streets in repair, j t" support the Boor, tor sustaining the Public j Credit, and for other purposes ordinary and con- j tingent. lie it ordained by the City Council of Augusta, and j it is hereby ordained by authority of the same, That ! a Tax for the sums, and in the manner hereinafter mentioned, shall be raised and paid into the Treas- j ary oi the city, for the use and service thereof— i that is to say, Sec. 1.
