for our brief notice of Mr. Morton. We lave to say
simply, that. though not personally acquainted with
him, he highly spoken of to US by those who do

We are happy to learn that the Panama Railroad
Company have put under contract that portion of their
RairUad the Isthmus which lies between the
Chagres river and the bay of Panama, about 81 miles,
tho whole distance from Panama to Limon Bay be-
ing 46 miles. The contractors are Messrs. Toten
and Trautwine, whose proposals were the most favor
able. and who possess the great recommendation OF
having been employed fJ. the last four or five years
in the territories of New Grenada, in constructing
canal ninety miles long, to connect two branches of
the Magdalene river. They have accomplished this
work entirely with native labor. and though first
encouniering great difficulty, they have succeeded in
training the natives into expert workmen, and will
be able carry over with them large force. Thor
oughly acclimaied. and with perfect knowledge Of
the character and habits of the people, they will be-
gin the Railroad with the advantage of all the exPe-
rience acquired IN constructing the Canal. Their bid

Correspondence Of the Journal Of Commerce

WASHINGTON Oct. II.
The mystery is solved, and there is no longer any
room for evasive denias, obscure hints and apollo
gec explanations as to the of this admins
frail0n on the Nicaragua rather the Mosquito ques
ton. Ii is distinctly enough avowed bv Mr. CLAYTON
through the lntelgencer, to-day, that instructions
were given TO Mr.. Squier, in conformity with bis
late address to the Director Of Nicaragua, and that
he instructed represent that this Government
would resist the acquisition of any territory this
continent by any foreign power.
1t appears from various sources, of adequate au-
tbenticy that the United States Government proposed
its intervention to that of Great Britain in behalf Of
the claims of Mica ragua and that Lord Palmerston
had replied, In substance, that Intervention would
be of avail the Government of Great Britain having
come a definite resolution on the subject of her
professionalism that Nicaragua would not be allow
ed foot in Grey-town. An issue has therefore
been made between the two Governments, and we
shall see which will hack out.
There is not in England more ultra s;ickler for
British rights than Lord Palmerson, and very wnske
propensities have been attributed to him. Senator
Rives now Minister TO France, declared, in speech
in the S-nate, that we would have had war with
Great Britain the North Eastern boundary ques-
ton, had not the ministry been changed-for Lord
Palmerson was bent upon war with this country.
As to Mr.. Clayton's of policy on this sub
ject, il is necessary inquire how he is
tain and enforce it {! Merely to issue declaration,
is not of much account. Il is brutun1 fulen. Will
the Cabinet not recommend declaration of war
Something must be done to Gust Great Britain from
her proud occupancy of tie Mosquito country or the
portinns of il claimed by Nicaragua. mani
fesIo will be ridiculous. Mr.. Squier intmates that
force will be resorted To by this country.
The only way will be- to get mp row in Grey
town and then send message TO Congress declaring
that American blood had been shed on American
soil" and ask Congress for hundred thousand men
and fifty millions of dollars. Congress will not as
we know from past experience, dare to refuse it.
The people are always ready TO prosecute a war.
though they may il is over, repudiate and
punish its authors.

0rForeign travellers have remarked, that il is
of the distinguishing traits of Americans 10 show
great courtesy to women. This is especially and gen.
orally evinced in travelling conveyances. There is
an occasional exception however and we heard Of

and upon the front they ride backwards. On the
occasion spoken Of, there four passengers; one
man, reverend personage, and three ladies', rs
years of age and feeble, yet this reverend gentleman,
having been lucky enough to get the back seat had
the heartlessness decline yielding it to the old lady.
How he could sit comfortably rs-a-vis with the dis
obliged lady during the journey, is than can
guess at. hog, however, we presume. is not much

but seemed to perform the work most admirably. We
think it deserving of the particular attention of coop

error, the excellent and speedy manner in which
the machine performs its work, will afford much
qualification. Machines of this kind, which will

A New WRINKLE-By notice published in this
days paper, il will be observed that State Conyen-
ton Of Free Soil Men is Called to meet in this city
in December next for the purpose Of providing for
the establishment of Newspaper Organ al the Capt.
tai, devoted to the organization. There may be
something more in this proposed movement than
meets the public eye. aud if there be. time will Of
course develop tie matter. We think il proper now
to say for the satisfaction Of our readers that pub
lish the notice Mt the request Of leading gentleman
of the anii-sIasery party. who in time past a
distinguished member Of the Wig party. From this.
we infer only, that those at the head of the
ment confde in the belief that the democratic
party will adhere to the line Of policy marked on, by
the last Democratic State Convention and that they
sid strongly distrust the wing party under the
lead of Taylorism.

We hope The next session will not pass without
such action. II is due the character of this
