MELANCHOLY SU1c1DB.-Fof some days past
our quiet community has been much excited and
covered with gloom, by the sudden disappearance
Of Mrs. Nancy w. Knowles, wife of John H
Knowles, of Sampson county. She left his house
on Saturday morning, the 7th inst, between the
hours Of midnight and morning; and in leaving
the yard used every means not to awaken her hus-
band. He sought for her at her mother's Mrs.
Mary Gavin, and not finding her there, fears were
entertained that she had accomplished what she
had threatened, (viz to dro,Cn herSey2 This she

she must have died without struggle. The cause
for this rash act is difficult to explain. They had

FROM THE ISTHMUS,

The steamer Crescent City arrived at New
York on Saturday last, direct from Chagres.
She took out $50 passengers, and made the
run from New York to Chagres in eight days
and half. She brought back 40 passengers.
She brings dates from Chagres to the 26th ult.
The N. Y. Express says
After landing her passengers at Chagres-
$50 in number-she sailed for Havana on the
25th March. at O'Clock, with twenty pas
sengers.
The California had not reached Panama, on
her return voyage, on the 23d ult.
The Oregon was at Panama, on the oath of
February, and remained there for nineteen
days, sailing on the 5th of March, at 6 A.
M, with two hundred and fifty passengers for
California and Oregon.
There was at the time of her sailing more
than eight hundred passengers at Panama,
and $50 more had arrived in March, making
at least 1 400 waiting passage. The health
of both Panama and Chagres was very good.
There were only few cases of intermittant
fever, which was brought on by exposure.
At Panama, on the 23d, there were but two
vessels, the ship Humboldt with coal on board,
and the other a small brig called the Eterlina
Both were bound up with passengers.
The whale ship Equator, of New Bedford
sailed from Panama, on the 2lst of March
with 100 passengers for San Francisco. Sew.
eral other whalerS were expected there soon
TO take passengers.
The English ship Colony left Panama or
the goth, with 201 passengers for the same
destination.
Vessels commanded their own price, ant
sea steamers on the coast would clear thei
cost twice over in voyage up and down the
coast.
The passengers which went to Chagres by
the Crescent City, were carried in canoes tc
'Gorgona at seven dollars each. They wen
with all their baggage at this price, and fol
the distance OF forty-fve miles.
For twenty -one miles the road from Gorge
Ma to Panama is in very good condition, ant
passengers made their way over it, with thei
baggage, without any trouble. The price
asked for carrying luggage was six dollars fo
100 pounds.
The passengers met with no accident OF
the route. Provisions were plenty at Panama
and board could be had at ST 90 ST SO pc
day. By marketing and cooking for them
selves, parties could live at SO cts. each a day
American eagles at Panama were worth 81
in change, half eagles 81, half dollars fort.
cents, five franc pieces pass for ten one dim
pieces, a dime passing for one-eighth of a dol
lar doubloons are worth seventeen dollars
A party of enterprising Americans, impa
tient to get to the gold regions, and not bein;
able TO get passage at the Isthmus, had pur
chased small sail boat, and started of TO
Callao, (some 1000 miles from Panama.)-
They intended 10 row part of the way.
The Sun, in an extra, says that the Engisl
steamer Equator arrived at Panama at A
NJ. on the Odd, from Valparaiso. with ST.
100000 in gold dust, mostly in Californi
gold. The whole amount was for England
It would be sent per steamer Midway, whic
vessel was in waiting for the treasure at Cha
gres. when the Crescent City left.

never saw any reason why the President
should take any other ground in regard to
them than the ground so expressly attributed
by the Intelligencer to the President. They
well deserve this aenuneiation in advance Of
what they might be {" detecte in hereafter"
Il is capital idea to let them know, once for
all, and beforehand. the true position in which
the President stands towards them.
But cannot account for the formal contra
diction of this article, which appeared in the
''Whig'' of Saturday, otherwise than by sup
posing that the Wing represents the views of
some members of the Cabinet who NAV deem
it impoitic, at least at this time, to ALLEVIATE
from the whig party and the administration
the support OF the free-soilers. Neither would
this account for it-for both articles undertake
to represent the views of the President per-
sonally and officially, and each make entlreI y
different statements of his views on this all
important subject. The Whig," indeed,
goes so far as to intimate that the article In
the lntelIgencer" was written upon assum-
ed and not real authority from the President.
The I" Whig," without naming the " lntelll-
gencer," asserts that the "editor takes it up
on himself to threaten the free-soilers, if they
do not behave themselves, with the old Hero's
wrath.''
In short, the Whig," so far as it is an
organ of the administration, deprecates the
wrath of the free soilers, and assures them that
the President has expressed no opinion pro OF
con. on that delicate subject, and will leave its
decision 10 the free action of Congress. The Of
gans must be put in better tune.
The Cabinet were, undoubtedly, engaged
yesterday in considering questions regarding
the policy of removals. How they decided it
or whether they decided it all, cannot under
take to say. But they have been told plainly
enough by all their political friends here, tina
they must support their party, or that thei
party will not support them. Ion.
