AS we expected would be the case, the Locofoco
presses are charging the Wings with raising another
panic. We took care to anticipate this charge, in
some measure, by copying the other day from the
New York correspondent of the Union full pre-
diction Of rin--a cry Of pGaic--and the causes
thereof. We refer those who listen to this charge
for moment, to that publication. Besides, in all
nanics. the Uhies are sure to suffer most. Il is
their interest to stop the PANIC, and to keep up
confidence Their opponents make the ruin and
bring il on, and then blame the Wings for feeling

VIEWS OF THE ENGLISH PRESS.


From the consequence which has been hereto
fore given in this paper to the views expressed by
the London Times, when they favored our own
wish and hope of rational and amicable adjust
ment of the existing difference between the United
States and Great Brtain-a consequence equally at
trbuted to by the organ Of our Administration,
which very recently described it as ." the most
distinguished press in England'-we regret the ne
cessity which obliges to lay before our readers
the subjoined comments from the Times" of the
latest date that has reached the United States show
ing the effect produced upon the public mind of
that country by the passage by the House of Re-
representatives. of the Resolution for giving Notice Of
cessation of the joint occupation of Oregon.
We should be sorry to infer from the excited tone
Of the Iin,es-so different from that which it held
at two months earlier data corresponding
change in the disposition of those who have the
control of the Administration of the British Gov
eminent. But we are obliged to confess that this
change, whilst it demonstrates the fallacy equally
of the assertions and predictions Of our own gov
eminent press as to the effect of the measures
which, in season and out of season, it has been I'M
wearied in pressing upon Congress, is calculated
to make painful impression on the minds of all
those who, with us, prefer an honorable peace to
an unnecessary war

some instances attended by fatal consequences.

ErysipeIas, Scarlet Fever, Pneumonia, Black

cured IN this town and nsighborhood. In it's
aggravated form it is dangerous and often "a.

treatment. The best physicians are often foil

TO treatment. The disease seems to be entire

HIGHLY IMPORTANT FROM YucArAN The
Delta has letters from this country which say
That the Yucatecos are anxious TO get pro,ec.
ton from the United States, and have de,ermi,
ned to send a committee to Washington, to
ask it, IN case Mexico should once more attempt
TO impose on them; they are determined to
spill the last drop Of blood in defence Of their
liberty and ind .pendence,r rather than submit a.
gain to the Mexican Government, by which
they have been treated worse than slaves.
"Our own banner with the five stars is now
waving all over the peninsula, and we have
sworn 10 keep i, up as long as we have an arm
to de end curse yes with, and never to allow the
Mexican flag TO show its colors again in our
tree and independent nation. fucltan Will

Mexico, because man of good morals aud hon

Mexico does not deserve to hold in its pos
session such 5 ate as thls-and II we can only
obtain protection and aid from The United
States, we will consider ourselves happy, and
free FROM the tyrannical proceedings OF that
Government.
sour people are disposed to enter into ar
engagements with the U. States, which will be Of
some advantage to them There is no contrary
feeling there are no dviso ns of partes-we
are all joined, and our wish and determination
is one throughout the country. We were b)rn
to be free and independent.

determination 10 separating from The Mexican
Republic, but we must now wait until April

States Government"

lars, which confirm the sentiments and opinions

DEATH OF JOHN H. PEASANTS.

1t is with pain that we record the death, by
the hand of violence, Of John Hampden Pleas
ants, long and we'll known TO the country as the
talented editor of the "Richmond Wing" He
fell in desperate rencountre-it can scarce be
called duel-with Thos. F. Richie, of the
Richmond Enquirer. The circums ances of
this unhappy affair, are stated to the editor Of
the Louisville Journal, by a gentleman who
came on in advance of the mail, to be the re-
newa Of an old quarrel, which was carried to a
high pitch Of evaporation. "Mr. Peasants
sent his opponent a written invitation to meet
him at six o'clock on the morning Of the 23th
ult., armed as he might see fit. The two met
at the appointed time each armed with sever.
al pistols. bowie. knife, g. they commenced
firing at considerable distance, but approached
each other rapidly and at length closed. Mr..
Peasants received frghttul cash across the
abdomen from bowie knife and it was said he
could live but very short time. Mr.. Richie
had cut in the mouth and face from knife or
sword cane, but the wound was not at all dan.
getous." Mr.. Peasants has since died of his
wounds. MIR. Richie, his antagonist at the
last accounts was at Washington city. We
forbear further statement or comment on the
matter, until all the circumstances attending i;
are developed.-Memphis Eng.
