The President issued decree author
lzing the contract made by the New York
Company, and it is very evident that the
Nicarauguans mean to stand by the con-
tract, notwithstanding the position assum-
cd by the British Government. We are

tween the Ministers at Washington: but
teiegraphc dispatches state that both

Joshua Hammond was killed on Satur.
day night by his own son, at his residence
in this district, under the foil wing cir
cumstances, as near as we can learn:
young Hammond had been irregular in
his coming home, and remained away till
a late hour that nj hit. For this his faith
er called him to account, and raised
chairto inflct blow upon him. This
enraged the young man, who drew Il
knife, and inflicted in the left side Of the
father wound, from which he died
Mr.. Coroner Miller Immediately sum
moned ajurv, and had proceeded three
miles on the way out, when they met
the mui dcrer. who told them the distance
and gave the details Of the act. On
hearing this the inquest was postponed
till to-day, and they returned with the
prisoner, who is now lodged in our Jail.

Correspondence of the Charleston Courier.
WAsHINeroN, Oct. 18th.
"All eyes are now turned upon ii new
Congress. Their tone in regard to gen
eral policy and party que tons, cannot be
ilxed until they have met here and con.
suited. The Senate will be Jealous and
wattchful, and will scru,inize appointments
and removals. The romincc will often
be rejected, not so much on account of his
own dcmc'its, as oftho merits attributed
to his predecessor, Arrangements have
been made, as understand, to contend
tor an independent organization of the
House, in opposition to party organza-
ton, such as would be dictated by either
wing ora Democratic caucus.
1hc reluctance of Mr., CLAYTON, to
make even partial disclosure Of his in
siructions to our Ministers to England and
Central America, in regard TO the Mosoui
to question. has surprised and puzzled
both his friends and opponents. lie has,
at length, however, given the public TO
understand that he has authorized those
Ministers to declare the purpose of the
United States Government 10 resist any
new acquisition, by any foreign power, of
territory, on this continent. Lord Pal
mcrston appears equally decided with
Mr Clayton, on this question.
LAMARTINE AND THE UNITED STATES
1t is curious fact that Lamartine, who
acted so noble part in the revolution of
February, ls4S, is tho foe of the United
States. This has been often asserted,
and never successfully denied The rea.
der will doubtless rccollcct that in his
manifesto to foreign nations, after the
Provisional Government was fairly under
way, there Is not the most indisiinct al
luSion to the United States. 1t is al
legged, on good authority, that the prompt
and manly recognition of the French Re
public by Mr. Rush, our American Minis.
terat Paris, was by no means pleasing to
Lamartine--certain it's, that in his late
work on the Revolution of 1913, able and
thrilling as 1t Is there is not an allusion
that we can find to that noble and spon.
taneous act of our country's representa-.
tive On the contrary, every other ma
ton is noticed. and the omission of all re.
ference to or Republic is marked and
offensive, 1t will be remembered that
many public meetings were held in this
country, felicitating France upon her free.
DOM and doubtless many of those who
participated in these patriotic proceedings
have wondered why they never heard a
word in return. The truth is, these ex.
pressions of a spontaneous feeling on the
part of our people were not nt all agree
BILE to Lamartine, and those that came to
his hand were coldly and slightly receiv-
ed.
We seek in vain for the cause of this
strange prejudice Lamartino is known
TO have strong British prejudices, and mar
ried we believe, an English wife. But
he processes to be a candid, as he certain.
ly has shown himselfto be disintcrcsted
man. Why he should meet the advan.
ces of a brave and inpulsive people will.
such freezing indifference will NO doubt
be secret for some philosopher more
intimately acquainted with the french
character than we are, to disclose. - Mes.

Dearest, in my dream last night,
Close l held thee TO my breast
While thy fond eyes, glancing bright,
All thy wealth Of love confessed.
In voiceless rapture did we stand
Luna shone above US brightly
Wakeful zephyrs, soft and bland,
Move thy siken tresses lightly.
As the mser DER his treasure
BenGeth down in Jealous mood,
Over thee with speechless pleasure
Fondly did L brood
No intrudng noise was heard
Silence only reigned profound
Save when playful breezes stirred
'Mong the leaves with stillv sound
Our arms were round each other flung
Heart for heart our eyes were pleading
Lip to lip in transport clung.
On each others kisses feeding
Morning broke the spell Of gadness,
Which the dream of night had known;
And Joy alas was changed 10 sadness
