Interesting from Peru.

The Washington Globe has a letter from an Off
Ger on board the u S. sloop of war Falmouth, da-
ted off Payta Peru, October 14th, which says:
AT CaIlao we found some difficulty existing be-
tween our Charge and the authorities, in conse-
quence of an affray between the crew of boat be-
longing to the ship Acadia, bound for California,
and the crew of a boat under the command of an
officer belonging to the government steamer CHI
mac" The Acadia's men (Americans) it is said,
were not the aggressors; yet they were overpow-
ered numerically beaten, bound and maltreated,
by rude police, through the streets, who frequent
" struck them while bound, and not only put them
in the calaboose, but in stocks without trial
animation. And although their liberation was ap-
piled for by our Charge, they were kept confined,
without investigation or trial until upon aceran fes
tive day of the Governor, they were released ac-
cordng to custom of the place, an act of grace
to criminals. Another cause of difficulty arose
from the coachman of the Charge "a Peruvian) CIV
ing some displeasure to an officer of the police
whereupon an armed party, under the command o
an officer entered the house court of our Charge
for the purpose of apprehending the coachman.-
Mr.. Clay, the Charge, wrote to the authorities OF
the subject, who replied that an "intorme" (mean
ing an inquiry into the subjeet) would be made
to which Mr. c replied that no enquiry was neces
sary his statement of the outrage sufficient.
Although ten days had elapsed from the date o
Mr. Clay's second note, no reply to it was received
at the time of the Falmouth's arrival Upon th'
appearance of the Falmouth Mr.. Clay re-openet
/ the subject, and the officer of the police pun
ished, by suspension, his satisfaction; and when w
left the case of the Acadia, although not definite
/ Ily settled, was nearly so, the government signify
! ing willingness to pay the punished boats erey
literally, and to indemnify the ship for her loss b
detention.

The "CoAnlE Rc1AL" in an article upon the muir
derous massacre Of the Hungarian prisoners, by the
emissaries of Russia and Austria, says:
There is something that may well be called mys-
ferrous, as well as something that may well be cal
led horrible in the thirst for blood BY which the
Government of Austria suffers itself to be impeed
as by an insane appetite to the murder of so many
of its Hungarian captives
= Wrong, such Imperialist wrath and ven
geance another, be paid for with fearful retribu-
ton.
In the mean tine instalment of the payment, OF
at least of the accruing interest, will be poured in
to the Imperial exchequer, from year to year and
from day to day-in the shuddering adherence o.
other nations, in the execrations of outraged hum
anity in the chilling of Austrian loyalty ITSELF thu
partial if not the utter extinction of that fal ma
tionally which once warmed the breast of ever,
Austrian subject toward his paternal Kaiser Franz
and made him the contented, faithful and subms
sive best upholder of the Imperial throne

The New York papers say that revolt was at
empted among the prisoners in the penitentary,
on Blackwell's Island on Monday night One of
the colored prisoners, on refusing to obey some
command of the warden, was called up to be repri-
manded when he drew knife and made furious
stroke at Mr. Keen. At the moment one of the
deputy keepers, named De Mott, stepped in the
way, and the blow aimed at the warden struck De
Mott in the left side, wounding him very severely.
The negro was seized and ironed, and medical at
tendance procured for Mr.. De Mott, who was in
dangerous condition. Intimation of a contempla-
ted revolt having been given to the warden, he
ordere3 search of the prisoners and their cells,
when large quantity of knives were found.

Chill,

By the Empire City, the New York Sun has ad-
vices from all parts of Chill, with dates from Val
paraiso to Oct. l, and Santiago Sept. 20.
On the arrival at the seat of government of the
news from California, that large body of Chilans
had been attacked and murdered by party of
Americans, in California the Chilian cabinet was
thrown into state of excitement, and fears were
entertained that serious dht alties would ensue be-
tween the United States and Chilian governments.
With this view the Chilian cabinet made immedi-
ate application to the British Admiral requesting
him to protect the lives and property of all Chilli
ans in California. This hasty step is greatly ridi-
culed by the Chian papers, especially since the af-
fair turned out to be hoax
The opposition papers think that the application,
although a great humiliation to the nation, will
serve good purpose in forcing the present cabi-
net to be more active They consider that Chilli
ans and Chan interests safer in the hands Of
the Americans than the British but if there is any
danger, the Chilian cabinet ought to arm vessel
and send her up to California; and appoint con-
sui at San Francisco, and look out for their own
interests.
The British Admiral promised to give free pas
sage to any Chilians who desired to return, bu
farther he could not act.
/ That strong and independent nation like Chill
should beg the protection of foreign nation in {
trivial affair like this, was hunliating in the hghes
degree.
Another presidential election is at hand, and DO
tical agtations are in progress all over the coun
try.

candidate, and is likely to be elected
The present administration is condemned as We

provided the line is extended to the Straits O

A native born down easter who is now out West
selling Dry Goods advertises his stock of prints as
follows
"The largest and the most extensive stock of
French, English and American ever west of Mil

ofprints, we'll just cut the story short by giving
you the dimension measured by our Ciuit5 En-

Later from Texas.

Bv the arrival of the steamship Galveston Capt.
crane. from Galveston the 9th inst, we have recei-
we'd the Civilian and the News of that port, and
other papers from the interior of the State.
The Civilian of the 3Oth ult states, that q COM
panv is about to be started in Galveston, entitled
the Galveston and Brazos Navigation Company,
for the purpose of cutting a canal from San Louis
or West Galveston Bay to the Brazos river, with
the privilege also of connecting by canal the waters
of the Brazos river with the San Bernard, Peech
creek and the Colorado. 1t is intended to apply
to the Legislature for a canal charter. The capi-
tai stock will be $l50O0O with the privilege of in
creasing it to $3OO,oOO to be divided into shares
of $40 each.
We take the following from the Victoria Advo,
cate of the I'd instant:
The editor of the Western Texan has seen a let
ter to Major Babbit from an officer of the army,
dated at FL Paso del Norte, September 16. The
writer states the Government train arrived there on
the sth ult, having been SO days on the march
The writer adds:
"Report says that Americans in the employ o
the State Authorities of Chihuahua have entered
our territory, attacked killed and scalped peaceful
Indians near Preside del Norte. This will pro
duce among the various tribes hostility toward:
all white men. chihuahua is now literally beseig
ed by the Indians because of this outrage"
News from Ell Paso dated the 10th September
has been received by Major Babitt, Assistant Quar-
ter master General The Government train hac
arrived having been out 11o days, but only So
were occupied in marching. Corn is worth SS !;
bushel there, and beef is not to be had. Fifty dol
lars per yoke had been offered for the tender foot
ed cattle belonging to the train
A fight had taken place between detachment
of American troops commanded by Major Stein ano
party of Apache Indians, about ninety miles from
Dona Ana in the direction of the GIa. Corpora
Norwood and Serjeant Snyder were killed. Maj
Stein was slightly wounded. The loss of the In
dians was not ascertained, but forty horses anc
mules were retaken The Americans were from
forty to fifty the Indians fifty to sixty, but the lat
ter were strongly posted in almost imperviou
thickets.
The San Antonio Western Texan Of the Goth ult

A train of about 175 carts is now being fttet
out from this place for the pass by the way of La

"The New York Herald of Sunday last prints
the proceedings of meeting of the colored voters
of New York, held on Friday last who pledge
themselves to use their best efforts to defeat the
Democratic State ticket The Herald estimates
the number of such voters in the city at about 900

Wash. Union.
The Democratic party must have fallen into
great dsrepute if, after all their Free Soil demon
strations, with Mr.. Butler and Mr.. Van Buren at
their head they could not get trusted even by the
colored voters. What says the Evening Post? We
have an indistinct ecollectiun that Mr.. John Van
Buren, some time since addressed meeting of
F rec Soil colored men in the Park. They seem
to have abandoned their leader. They could stand
being Free Soilers, but as for being made Locofo-
cos of, they had too much selfrespect We don't
wonder at it. After this detection of the colored
voters from the ranks of the amalgamated opposi-
ton, we imagine that the Union will repent of its
having bullied Mr.. Clayton for refusing passport
to color ed person After the dictates of the Even
ing Post against the Secretary of State this sub
ject, we are a little surprised that it could moi
manage to impress the coored voters with its sin

Ew Several of the Locofoco press in this part
of the State, have nominated Judge Wood, for
Governor. The Democrat says his nomination takes
like wild-fre. We presume it does-just about,
and the people will be careful to keep him at as
gr eat distance, as they would the element the
Democrat has fguratively used, in speaking of his
nomination. Should the Locofoco convention
which meets at Columbus on the 9Th of January
next, have the hardihood to nominate him, old
Cheeseberry, if he will accept of denomination
will knock the socks from under him, much easier
than he did from under "totber hero.'

LOcofoco Inconsistency.

Whenever and wherever the Locos are in pow
er, there is at once general turning out OF every
opponent from Office that can possibly come under
the acts of decapitation. There never has been an
exception to this rule. Wings have never been
suffered to retain Office a moment beyond the
time to remove them. Under such circumstances
there always are applicants enough for every of
fee, even the lowest, and there is no hesitancy in
gratifying them. And it is by such bestowa of
small offices upon violent political adherents that
they are always enabled to have active and bitter
partizans, to do all the little dirty work in polt
cal contest which they desire By such lewards
to the petty leaders, and by such appeals to the
lowest and meanest passions ofhuman nature, they
keep themselvesin power, and continually strength
en- their party In proof of the above assertion re-
specting the distribution ofofice, we have but to
appeal to the conduct of the sheriff of the city
of Philadelphia, who has turned out every officer
suspected of Whiggisn, and given their places to
his own adherents We do not blame him for so
doing but it does seem rather inconsistent to fill
TIE daily papers with jeremiads over some decapi-
tated Locofoco, and demand consideration for him
as a martyr in the Democratic cause, and then
take the same course whenever power is given tc
them The lamentations on the one hand, and
the appointments, whenever they have power, Oh
the other, demonstrate to a certainty that the
spoils of office is the great object for which they
contending, the cornerstone of their political plat
form, the leading governing principle of their par
ty creed Hartford Courant

Eg The publishers of the chronological Journ-
al Water-Cure Journal, Sartains Magazine, and
the New York Tribune, will take notice that the
Lower sandusky Telegraph has been dscontin-
ued. The object of this notice is to inform those
interested that laterly they have been sending
their publications to both the Telegraph and the
Freeman-we getting by the operation two works
insted of one. We have no objection to receiving
the two works, if the publishers see fit to send
them; but our conscience rebels at the thought
of taking them in the manner named.
