Iu a particular vicinity of Kentucky, a mar riage was agre and upon “between the son of a farmer of no inconsiderable influence and the belle of all the country around. Os course the “elite” of the neighborhood were in atten dance. Every thing was there, and everything was iu readiness. “The Royal Tiger was presentthar, The Monkey and the Polar Bear.” But the dignitary to whom it was designed to assign the honor of master of the marriage eeretaOny, had not yet arrived —but just then someone spoke and said, “Thar comes Squar Ben Buncuin.” Quick the lights were trimmed, and every thing put in its place. As usual, anxiety, agi tation and joy were depicted on every face, and Sir. Tom Wisdom the honorable host, walked out to meet the “Squar.” to welcome him in, inquire for his health, the news, &e. The >qflar was a good humored gentleman, but lie was chiefly celebrated for his talents, as tuteness, leaguing, &c\,” itt his populous town ship. “Well ” said tbe host, “you have been elect ed, but you had a close time of it j my vote alone saved you. You beat hi u one vote oh ly.” “That is all, Tom,” replied Squar Ben, “but the next election I’ll ick him. Ihe re’s no use in talking. Mr. I'isdoin, without using the corn f r-e-e-l-y, and a little sly scandal and ly ing—that’s all tbe chance ” “Ah, well, that’s all over, and you are the magistrate, Squar Ben, come and let’s go in and see what the young folks wish Indeed, Squar Ben, are you aware that you are expect ed to say the cerimony ?” Benjamin Bnncum now began to see the awful responsibility of his office, andto“trem ble from centre to circumference,” lor be had never officiated in that interesting capacity They had not even done him the justice to in form him of the part he Was expected ’o per form, or he could have prepared, lie had made no preparation—had no form—nor could any book be found, high or low, having the marriage ceremony. Ilence to take it “off hand” was the only chance. An unfortunate and excruciating test for the newly elected Squar The company was now arranged into acre scent. The Squar Was at his place, and in came the parties principal aud seconds— the gallants each beaiing a candle, which gave evidence of the extent, aud luxuriant range in that neighborhood With much assurance and dignity, the Squar looked around, and whole ages of learning seemed rushing through his mind. He thought over everything he had dreamed, but all in vain. There was a sup pressed titter all over the house. I his ad monished h m lie must say something, and iu an agony of desperation, lie begau, ‘The State of Kentucky co., I com mand yon io - ” This did not suit. Confusion and whisper ing perplexed him the more. ‘•Live him a chance —give the Squar a chalice,” said a strong voice from the door. — The Squar made Another effort; “Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Kentucky ” The Squar was again admonished by titter ing, t hat he must proceed with something. In agonizing desperation he began, “VMie. in the course of human events it be comes- ” litre he was touched by Mr. Wisdom. Af ter a pause, he began again. “Our Father who art in “He is repeating the Lord’s j raver. 1 ’ says one The Squar raised his hopeless vision to the ceiling for a short time, and began anew, “Know all men by these presents ” Here he was interrupted by a general noise, and a voice from the crowd, “lie’s writing a deed ” Again he essayed, ‘‘Witness my hnd and steal. t v la the —— ” “He has concluded it—die Will certainly go on with the ceremony,” said several voices. “In the name of God, amen,” he again be gan. Laughter from every directi u—some swearing. “He is making his will,” said one, “1 thought he would not live long—he looks prodigiously sad.” The next essay of the noble and learned Squar, was, ‘ Oh yes, oh yes, come into court and—” ‘‘Are we to have court to-night ?” ejaculat ed someone. “Oh, yes, c> me into court,” replied another from the door. The laughter was >_e eral. It may be supposed that the bride and her partner were somewhat hors de combat, espe cially the former ; but water end suitable aro matics were neat, and Squar Buncum was her friend and near by He was att untiring man. and after casting his eyes around the room, ho determined to try again 3 “To the Constable or any other laWiul offi cer—Greeting ” “Let’s go. He’s going to have us all nr r* sted,” said several Here a gleam of light flashed over the Squar’s bewildered and for lorn countenance. He ordered the parties positively to hold up their right bauds, and in a solemn voice he said, “You and each of you do solemly and truly swear, in the presence of the present company, and of the President of the United States, and iu the name of the t oustitution of the United States of America, that you will perform f-itli fully, andusoiten as you or each of you may wish, all and singular, the duties and functions of husband and wile, as the case may be, to the best of your skill and ability, so help you God. Amen.” “Good as old rye ! Old Kentucky forever 1” exclaimed the grateful Mr. Tom Wisdom. — “Come, gentlemen,” said he, “wc will drink with Squar lien Buncum.” “Agreed 1” shouted the enthusiastic and happy crowd. “We’ll dance all night till broad daylight, Aud go home with the girls in the morning.” ggg-The Federal Union says the Laws and Journals will be redy f or delivery to the G 0 J veruor by the first 01.o l . Juno. Letter from Gen. walker to Senator Weller. In the course of the debate in the Senate on Central Ani'erican affairs, last Thursday,’ Mr. Weller, of California, read the following letter from Walker upon the present condition of af fairs in that quarter. Grenada, A\>ril 15, 1859 My Dear Sir: By the last papers from New York, I learn that, when i was denounc ed in the State for the conduct Nicaragua has pursued towards the Transit Company, you were so generous as to undertake to defend me from the aspersions of men utterly ignor ant of my character. In consequence of this, 1 take the liberty of writing some facts in re lation to affairs here; aud these facts will, I think. prove not unimportant to the Govern ment of the United States. You have doubtless learned from the news- was the policy Nicara gua proposed to pursue towards the other States of Central America. Notwithstanding all our overtures of peace, the neighboring GoVertiinfents showed themselves,if not positive ly, at least negatively, hostile to the actual ad ministration of Nicaragua. It was constantly asserted, not only here, but throughout Cen tral America) that the States were stimulated to this conduct by English aud French agents But it was not until the cot*’ espondeuce of the Consul General of Costa Kicain London Was intercepted by me a few weeks ago, that po.-i ----tive evidence was offered of the active sympa thy the British Government manifests for those wiio opposed the Americans in Nicaragua.— The correspondence show* that England is fur ni liing arms to our enemies; and, at the same time, the whole British West India squadron is sent to San Juan del Norte, iu orde that the moral weight of the English Government may be thrown in the scale against our Republic I do not know how those facts m y appear to people of the United States, but to me they seem directly at variance with American prin ciples and American interests These facts are potent to all, and their sig nification is apparent to the u ost superficial observer. 1 here are other circumstances con nected with the present war waging in this State and in Costa Bica, which may require interpretation in order to make their impor tance felt 1 he Government of Costa Rica has never yet declared war against the Government of Nicaragua, yet it has invaded our territories, and has murdered American citizens who have never forfeited the protection of the United Mates Government. This has been done un der cover of a decree issued by the President of Costa llica, declaring war against Ameri can forces in the service of Nicaragua I o de clare war against the Americans iu the service of Nicaragua, and not against Nicaragua her self, is to deny in the most positive and offen sive manner the right of Amer cans to engage iu service of a foreign State. N>t ody i.as the declaration of war been made in this offensive and unheardof manner, but another decree has been publ shed ordering all American prison ers of war, taken by the Costa Hica forces, to be shot. This is to deny to Americans engag ed ill a foreign service the common rights to which soldiers are entitled by the laws of war Su< h decrees as those I have mentioned not only throw Costa Rica, as I concieve, beyond the pale of civilized nations, but they directly effect the honor and dignity of the United States- 1 hey attempt to control the Ameri can people.and keep them within a limit Which the American Government has never prescrib ed. Costa Rica .-ays Americans shall not em igrate to Nicaragua and take arms in her ser vice It remains to be seen whether she can sustain herself in so singular a position. In such a war as the one they are now wag ing against us there can be be but one result. They may destroy my whole iorce--a circum stance 1 deem almost I hey may kill every American now in Nicaragua—but the seed is fjoWn, and not ad the force of Span ish America can prevent the ruit from coming to maturity. The more savage the nature ot the war they wage against us, 1 lie more eer tain the result, the more tcfrible the conse quences. I may not live to see the end, But I feel that my countrymen will not permit the re suit to be doubtful. I know that the honor and intefes sos ihe great country which* des pite of the foreign service 1 am engaged in, I still love to call my own, are involved in the present struggle. That honor must be pre served inviolate, and those interests must be jealously maintained. So far we have Dad great moral odds against ns The Government to which we look for aid and comfort has treated us with coldness and disdain. here has been n<> Government to encourage us, aud bid us God speed !’ No thing but our own sense of the cause we are engaged in. and of its importance to the coun try of our birth, has enabled ns to strugg e on as far as we have come. We may perish in the work we have undertaken, and our cause may be for a time be lost; but if We fall, we feel that it is in the path of h>nor; and what is life or what is success, in omparison with tlie con sciousness of having performed a duty, amt of having co-operated, no matter how slightly, in the cause of improvement and progress ? I begin, however, to digress, aud therefore con clude. I remain with high regard, Your ob’t. savant, WM. WALKER. Hon John B. Weller, U. s. Senate. Exectitiou of McCombs. We learn from the Carolina Times, that Jas. McCombs, convicted at a late term of the Court of Oyer and Terminer, in • oitfir.bin, S. 1 C of the murder of the Marshal while in the, discharge of his duty, some time last year, uu- j derwent the extreme penalty ot the law on j Friday last. V\ hen the drop felt, the weight’ of the unfortunate man was too great for the strength of the rope, aud the spectators were horrified at seeing the rope break and the doomed man fall to the ground. The sheriff speedily readjusted the rope, and the prop was again knocked away, and he was launched into eternity. A large concourse of people witnessed the horrifying spectacle. - Corner Stone. From the Pittsburg Post. FROM KANSAS. The Shbotihg of Sheriff Jones—MoH: Troops sent for. A gentleman who arrived in this city yester day-from Kansas, gives us the latest and most important intelligence from territory.— He is a gentleman well known in this city, and his statements can be fully relied on. We may state that he is not a democrat or a par ty and makes perfectly impartial state ments He givfes facts and leaves the reader to draw the inferences. He left Lawrence, Kansas, on the 24th of April, and reached here late at night on the 29th. Only live days through. He says that previous to April 19th, eve rything was quiet in the Territory, and free- State and pro-slavt ry men were living in har mony, and attending quietly to their own bus iness. On the 19th Sheriff Jones lef{ Lecomp ton with a posse of men for Lawrence, for the purpose of arresting the notorious S. N Wood, against whom he had no less than six warrants, one issued on the complaint of a free- State man. On the arrival of the Sheriff at Lawrence he arrested Mr. Wood. ,A crowd immediately collected and rescued Wood, tak ing from tiie Sheriff at the same time a pistol, thecnly weapon tie had, and drove him out of the town with many .nsiilts, Ite returned to Le compton, the place of his residence. On Sunday, the 2'oth of April, with a small niimbef of assistants, he came to arrest Wood again; On his arrival here he made a list of the names of nien lii LrivVrence on whom he called for assistance in the discharge of his du ty They refused to obey Finding he could get no assistance, he quietly returned to Le comptou. It is presumed he informed (Jov. shannon diat he could not make the arrest without a millitary force, as the Governor im mediately sent to Fort Leavenworth for troops, and sent a telegraphic message to the Presi dent. Only t.velve soldiers were sent for, as it was the aim to prevent anything serious from occuring. They came to Lawrence with She riff Jones on Wednesday, April 23d, and pro ceeded to make the following arrest: J. G Fuller and A J Smith, charged with rescuing S N W'ood from the Sheriff on Saturday pre vious-; and the following persons for refusing to assist the Sheriff on the next day after the rescue: Geo. F. Warren, F. Hunt, A D Ly man and the noted John Hutchison. The citi zens did not interfere with these attests. No resistance or disturbance arose. After the ar rests lie took the prisoners to a public house kept by a man named Himnan, where he left them in charge of the soldieis, giving them a good supper at liis dvVu cost. dur informant was sopping at the same house, and eat at the same table. The Sheriff was in and out of the house until twenty minutes past nine o’clock at night. The Sheriff then went out, and some three or four pistol shot3 were Soon heard. Mr. Hi man came in twenty minutes afterwards, and said that Sheriff Jones was shot and desperate ly Wonnded. Our informant went out lo as certain the facts. He found everything rip pearently quiet. The soldiers had pitched two tents back of the inn, in one of which the officers of military slept. It was ascertained that the Sheriff was shot at three times, but not injured. He then went to the officers* tent and sat down in the back part of it. Sonic per sons, asyet unknown when our informant left, walked round the tent and fired a ball through the canvass of the tent. It struck the Sheriff in the small of the back, destroying the spine. He sent for a doctor who advised his removal to the free- v tate Hotel, where the Congress Investigating Committee then were. The Sheriff was carried from the tent to that hotel where four physicians paid him all attention during the night. He bl* and profusely and suffer ed severelv, and by morning lie was very weak and almost pulseless, and no hopes were enter taiued of his recovery. Even should he re cover he must be a cripple for life. On that day our inio.mant left,and is now at Pitsburg. On the Wednesday that the Sheriff was shot a parly of ten soldiers On their way from an In dian station passed through Lewrence, and crossing the river encamped sonic five hundred yards from the city. After the Sheriff was shot Lout. Mclntosh sent for them; and they returned about two o*cloek at night. So on Thursday morning there were twenty two U S. soldiers, all told, in the city, and all was quiet The prisoners had not bee 4 : rescued. An order had been sent to Fort Leaven worth for more troops, and fifty had left for Lewrence to preserve the peace. Tlie Lost Steamers—Tlie President- Tile City of Glasgow, and the Pacific. Erery hope seems to have vanished, says the Philadelphia Inquirer, in relation to the steam ship Pacific. She has in all probability, sunk into the unfathomable depths of the ocean How, or under what circumstances, we can on ly conjecture. She was a noble vessel, with a rich freight, and had many precious lives on board But no one, it may be feared, wid ev er return to tell her melancholy story All, all have perished 1 The stout hearted Cap tain and his noble crew, the father and son, the husband and wife, tlie mother and chil dren. The dreadful plunge, and all must have descended into the Watory abyss of death I What ri flections is such a catastrophe ealculat *d to excite 1 How various must have been the feelings, h'ov/ agonized the emotions of some of the victims I Tne Pacific, moreover, was one of the three steamers that havo shared a similar fate the President disappeared first, and then the city of Glasgow, and up to this time not a vestige has been found of either.— The loss of the steamer President created a profound sensation It Was diffiult to believe ft to its full extent The parents, relations and frienus of the many on board, hoped on for months. With every fresh arrival they ex l pected intelligence, and when every reasoqa ; ble point had beeu heard from, they still eher ; ished a belief that one or two of the boats | would be rescued, and that thus the real fate :of the vessel would be ascertained. And so iin relation to the “City of Glasgow.” It was almost impossible to realize the melancholy fact, that she had gone uever to return, and that no tidings of her mysterious fate would J ever be communicated to the world. And now lertns~-s2,o(Uii Belief. a third steamer has been lost under similar circumstances. It cannot blit be regarded os Strange, that in all these cases, there has not been a solitary survivor 1 Nay, the slightest fragment of either vessel has yet to l?e discov ered. How then colild they have .disappear ed ? In regard to the President, it at the time that she had encountered a dread ful storm, and the if resumption was, from het extreme and ill proportioned length, that she became hogged, that is, broken amidships while riding over a Wave, and so went downl But even then, some bf the crew or passeiL gers might Imve attempted escape in boats, and if so, these tob must soon have been en gulfed in Uie bceau In relation to the city of Glasgow, all is doubt, and it is almost iinjlos’ sible to imagine her fate And as concerns the Pacific, the most probable conjecture is, that she encoiintered an iceberg, and was thus so fearfully damaged as to become an easy prey to the raging billows. Alas, for the victims J Soiiie were snatched away with the rose3 of youth yet upon their cheeks. O.hers were in the prime of manhood, and were eagerly re turning to their native land, after a voyage of pleasure or of business. Others again werri descending the hill-side of life, and were bent with years. But the au'mtndns so sudden aud so awful, niusi have appalled the stoutest heart. Let us hope that even at so sea ful a momeut, the moral uatiire dud the christiaii faith fbde above the physical man, and that death itself, and in a form so terrible, was met with a no ble heroism.

A party of the most re spectable ladies of the place had assembled as a “Surprise Party,” at the residence of Hon. benjamin Chamberlain, when it was suggested that a tavern kept by a maii named Wheeler was an intolerable nuisance, by reason of tlie liquor dispensed there, and they resolved to abate it. . , Before they arrived at the place of attack* the landlord Having got wind of the move ment, had secreted liis liquors and barracaded the doors, and his wife had prdvided a supply of hot water to give the assailants a warm bath. Nothing daunted, the feininiiie storm efs broke open the door, find although the loys of hot witter did some execution, rushed upon the ftie. The landlord took refuge in the garret, but was captured and bound, and taken toward the creek to be converted into a “cold water man,” by dipping, but he succeeded iti breaking his bonds and escaping. The Woßieii then returned to his house, de molished hts jugs aiid casks of liquor, and liis windows ; and wei‘e fibqut to make a similar onslaught upon two other libjuor establishments, when the enemy saved themselves by a capit ulation. The women justify themselves for re sorting to these extreme measures on the grouud that tile landlord continued to sell to the bru talized hiisbdnds Os some of them, despite en treaties, and they could obtain*no other re dress. F-om the Boston Herald, May 2. Savage Prize Fight. Prize Fight for Fhree Hundted Dollars aside, between Ned Price, of London, aiul Young Colbert, of New York. Arrangements having been in contemplation for some time past among the sporting frater nity for a match between two noted pugilists Ned Price, of London, and a, man named Colbert, hailing frotri New York, to see who was the “best man”—a match was perfected, and the stakes ($300,) being paid in, the pie ties met yesterday afternoon, at a convenient spot, situated near the town of Medford. A ring was formed, and those knowing to the affair, made theil* appeaffifiefe bn the ground (after paying for the privilege to the tune of $5.) The necessary preliminaries being ar ranged, the men entered the ring, tossed for the Choice of ground, shook hands, arid then commenced using their “mfiulers” to the b’ct advantage. The men fotfght 1 Re tigers for about three hours and a half, at which time both, being riearly blind and still “game;” it was thought best by those interested, to stop the fight, fear ing as fatal termination. The men were ac cordingly withdrawn, after having fought neat-*’ ly one hriudred and sixty rounds. If You have anytliffig td I>o, Do it,’ There is no lesson which people—men women aud children —have more need to learu than this, —to do what they have to do, at once. Young people cannot calculate ifie benefits of it, while the want of it will hang upon them’all theif livtis long, like an incu bus. Our advice to boys aud girls, always is’ if they have but a smart hour’s work to do do, it iu au hour, and not sozzle over it all day. In oUr bti’isness, ff we had a boy who mu3t b’e lazy we should urge him, by all means* to work while he did work, and make a buisness of it j and thon if he frrtffit, Stop arid make a buisness bf that; too. If a boy is allowed or allows himself, to play the loblolly boy through! the day, he is just as sure to’ be a drone as long as he lives, as he is sure to live. Indolent habits in youth are never overcome in manhood. The .world is brim full Os illus* tratioris of the truth of this* The s'auVe rule applies equally to girls. The girl who does housework— and We hope there are some— who allows hefself all the forenoon to poke over the breakfast dishes, and finds seanty time f6 get her dinner, is just as stive to 1 make a miserable slattern of a honsekeeper as she is to be a housekeeper at all aud we caution youug men against the girls who keep their breakfast dishes round till nObn. The only way is, if you have anything to do, do it.
