u We have been reqested by a number of our
citizens, to make some remarks with regard to a
practice which exists to a great extent with the
people of this place, and which practice it is be-
lieved ought to be discountenanced. The history
of the Objectionable practice to which we allude is
this:-Since the wharf has been completed so far
as to allow steamboats, TO come along side, it has
become common for near half the town to crowd
upon 1t whenever steamboat approaches; and no
sooner does the boat make fast, than there is a
general rush on board of men and women, BOYS
girls, dogs and sundry other animals. We are as
sured on the best authority that the officers of sew
eral of the boats have expressed decided dssatis
faction with this course of procedure. 1t is ex-
tremely annoying to captains of steamboats, to be
thus intruded upon-great inconvenience attends
the necessary landing of freight and the ordinary
business Of the boats. The cabins of the boat are

will venture the opinion that "Scott Ro-

at the extra Convention to-day. We think
so for several reasons. Let, for instance,
Capt. Bouldin and Col C. F. Jackson be
nominated in place Of DR.. Scott and

nominated) division in the ranks is at
once created-Scott and Robiou would
both run and would both be elected, too.

this. Again, the Fayette Clique, even as
much as they desire new nominations
know very we'll, that to nominate differ

people, would be virtually cutting their
own throats-the precedent thereby estab-

trouble. Was ever a party, or a set OF

not tantalize the poor devils-they feel bad

Horrible ASSASSINATION at Buenos Ayres.
The New York Journal Of Commerce has
received letters and papers from Buenos
Ayres to the Goth of April. They give
accounts Of the success of the Buenos
Arean forces in the North, in consequence
of which great number of assassinations,
estimated at two or three hundred, had ia.
ken place in the city of Buenos Ayres.
The atrocities committed by the FEEDER.
alists against the Unitarians, or Central
party, are almost incredible. On the night
of the 18th of April, the anniversary of
Gen. Rosas' installation, they commenced
the work of butchery, and cut the throats
of all they met in the streets of the Uni
tarians, and threw their bodies in cart,
to be taken out of the city.
On the morning of the 18th, the heads
of two persons were found hanging in the
principal public beef market, having had
blue ribbons drawn through the nostrils.
Many of these assassinations were acts
of private vengeance; and it was not until
others had been killed besides Federalists
that the authorities interfered.
These proceedings have been entirely
among the natives themselves. The rights
and property of foreigners have been re.
spected.
The Unitarians were escaping to Monte.
video and elsewhere, as many of them as
could. Others were seeking such protec-
ton as they could get, from foreigners in
the city, by secretng themselves in their
houses. Rosa has issued decree, disap-
proving of these atrocities.

UFOn our first page will be found four

KER, which are published by request.
They are portion of series of letters
written by that gentleman whilst on a
visit to the Island. There is good deal
of useful information to be gained from
them; but we do not agree with the author
in several respects, especially in his opin-
ions as regards Banks and an exclusive
hard money currency. Without good
National Bank, our country cannot pros
per; experience has taught us that we can
not do without a Bank in this country,
however well the Island of Cuba may do
without one, and until we do have good
National Institution again, we shall never
prosper as in the time of the existence of
the old United States Bank.
