Ex-Governor Tazewell, of Virginia,
has written a letter in which he takes
ground distinctly for disunion, believing
that the relations heretofore and now SUBJ
sisting between free and slave States are
injurious to the interests aud safety of
the latter. He says: 81 am now con-
vinced that although this government,
under some temporary notifications of it,
effected by construction, compromises
and concessions, will last beyond the
short space of the life of very old man,
the next generation will surely witness
its annihilation."

Mrs. Bolton, the Indiana poetess, has
been presented by the Grand Chapter of
Royal Arch Masons Of Indiana, with a
silver cup, appropriately engraved, for
that she, on the occasion of the laying OF
the corner stone OF the Grand Masonic
Hall Of Indiana, composed an Ode, which
was at the time sung, and which the
Chapter regarded as most noble. glow
ing, and truthful defence of the cardinal
principles Of ancient Free Masoury.

AFFAIRS IN New GRENADA.-A cores
pondent of the N. Y. Tribune. writing
from Panama on the 9th ult., says:
The New Grenadian Government is a
mere bagatclle. They cannot collect TIE
taxes exacted of American residents, as
imposed by their laws. have in mind
one gentleman from New Orleans, who
is the largest merchant, banker, and ex-
change operator and ticket speculator in
the city-a few days since he was called
upon and notified by the authorities, that
they wished him to consider himself under
arrest for non-payment OF taxes. &c. He
replied no, you mus: do with me as you
do with your own subjects, mprison me
they said no, he was too respectable.
He then told them he asked no indul-
gence from them, but that they should
do their duty without fear or favor. In
reply, they quietly told him the Govern
ment would soon have a large native
force collected here to enforce their laws;
the reply was, the first drop of blood shed
here is the end of the Republic.
The city taxes are unequal and exorbi-
tant, the Americans being taxed roundIy
for trading and dealing here without re-
oeiving any benefits. The fac, is, we
Americans want hospitals erected for our
sick and other duties fulfilled, otherwise
no taxes can be collected from us. The
Catholic Church owns much of the real
estate here-they cannot sell it, but are
willing to lease it for term of years.
1t is supposed by many that at the next
meeting of the Legislature tina: the con-
nectlon between Church and State will
be entirely dissolved. We want Pro-
testant Church here-one is greatly need
ed by The American residents, and also
by those passing on to California and
elsewhere across the Isthmus.

CONGRESSIONAL DAYS WoRK.-Each
member of Congress, (says the Baltimore
Clipper of the 5th,) receives eight dollars
per day, Sunday included, besides ex-
tras of no small consideration. Let US
examine one days proceedings to see the
amount of services rendered for this CON-
pensation. We take those Of Monday
last, which consisted of one motion to
compel the Committee on Ways and
Means 10 report-two speeches for. and
two against slavery and all is told.
Having performed this herculean task,
the wearied members retired from the
House to recruit their strength with re-
freshments. And thus it has been. day

OPENING OF THE MUMMY.-The Bos-

Quite large and intelligent audience
assembled at the fremont Temple this
forenoon, to witness the opening OF the
mummy cas-, imported by MIR. Gliddon.
Tie case of sycamore wood d''ornamented
with higheroglyphics, was placed hori-
zontally upon a stand; and while Mr..
GEddun discoursed upon the Nile and the
ryramids of Giza and the receptacles
where the munmies were found, an Off

ceeded to saw the case lengthwise.
After this had been done on two sides
an operation which occupied about hall
an hour-it was ready TO be taken apart

and his assistant, in view of the whole
audience. The mummy came out III

came out swathed in linen, smooth and
bu. slightly discolored by the lapse ol
tine. On the front covering were series
of higheroglyphics Of fresh slate color
as distinct as if they had just been pain

of surprise from the audience showed the

The NASHVILLE CoNvENTIoN.-This
great Southern Cure-all Convention, after
a session of six days, and the adoption of
sundry resolutions, has adjourned with
out uniting upon any mode or manner of
redress. Only portion Of the Southern
States were represented. and that portion
only partially. The Convention, in one
or two instances, appointed delegates
where the people had failed or refused
to select them, thereby arrogating to
themselves an authority unwarrantable,
which the people of those States will not
hesitate to repudiate. Had the two del
egates who appeared there as the repre-
sentatves of Arkansas, complied with the
wishes of large majority of the people
Of the State, they would not have been
in attendance upon the Convention. The
few, who sent them, may feel bound by
tfeir acts, but majority of the people
have had nothing to do with their ap-
pdmment, and consequently are not bound
bytheir votes. AS majority, if not all
ofahe States represented, occupy similar
ground, AIR. ao.o of the Convention will
have no binding force on the South. We
publish in another column the fourth and
fifth days proceeding. and the next mail
will probably bring IS the conclusion,

AFFAIRS AT RoME.-The New Y ork
Commercial Advertiser has a letter dated
Rome, May l3, which gives a lainenta5le
account of the state of things existing
there. A month had elapsed since the
Pope's return and his restored government
was only known for the spirit of revenge
manifest in its every act Plus has made
no display of that generosity and liberal
policy for which the world gave himcredit.
There has been no amnesty for the past,
no consultations in the present, and no
pledges of better days to come. The
writer, referring to the despotism to
which the poor Romans are now subjec-
ted, says:
Instead Of amnesty, cons olation and
provisions of mercy, which were prom
ised them upon the return of the Pope,
they find themselves called upon to atone
FOR the excesses of the Republic, even
though all the leaders have escaped. Not
word of forgiveness has yet come down
to the trembling families of Rome from
Plus IN since his return. 1.-The city is
still full Of brigands,'' he says, "and l
shall have no security here until they are
QTlVCn OuI. DOuOtl6SS ne DelleVeS tulS,
but the banishment OF highly respectable
ladies for attendance upon the wounded
revolutionsts in the hospitals; the impris-
onment of hundreds Of industrious men
torn from their families during the night;
and the removal and exile of numerous
fathers of families for no other offence
than that of retaining Office during the
Republic, ought to open the eyes Of the
Pope to the hateful hypocrisy of his min
listers in terrifying him by this cry of "bri-
gands"
The prescription has been so severe
since the Pope's return that several of
the princes who aided to restore him
have felt constrained to entreat him "a
gainst the merciless course of his Cardln-
ais; and very many who opposed the re-
public are so thoroughly disgusted with
the revengeful course Of the restored gov
ernment, and so deeply convinced of the
gross falsehoods heaped upon the repub-
hcan assembly and cabinet by the encyc-
lical letters of. the Pope and Of the bish-
ops. and by the only journals tolerated in
the States, that they desire ana predict
the speedy ruin of Cardinal authority.

A telegraphic dispatch from Baltimore
to the New Orleans Picayune, dated June
II, states that it is understood that dis.
patches from Gen. Campbell, the Ameri-
can Consul at Havana, have been re-
ceived by the President, per steamship
Isabel, in which the Consul calls for i'm
mediate action to save the lives Of the
captains of the Georghna and Susan
Loud. The President disapproves the
conduct OF Com. Tatnall of the Saranac,
and has sent to Havana an imperative
demand for the release Of all the prisoners.
He has also informed tn. Spanish Minister
that no more triAing will be allowed; that
he Ghe PresidenD has done his duty to-
wards Spain, and that if the life of a
single innocent American citizen be sacri-
feed, war will be the inevitable conse-
quence.

opinion that the American Government
has fully compiled with all its obiga-
tions under the law of nations, and Spain
can now look for no countenance from
Great Britain if she provokes war.

THE OVERLAND EMIGRATION.-The St.
Louis Republican has letter from cor
respondent, dated Fort Laramie, May IA,
from which we extract as follows:
About every five minutes during the
day. white top wagon with pick-axe
slung to its side, rolls in from the 'front.'
iers, stops few moments while the dri-
yer, with the "want of gold" stamped
upon his appearance, enquiries for The
shortest cut to California, and then disap-
pears over the prairies in the direction Of
the Pacific.
Up to the present date as we'll as can
be ascertaineG, nine hundred and fifty
men, and two hundred and fifty wagons
have passed this place for the mines
Las, year, at this time, not person had
made his appearance. All represent
that the emigration of this year will be
double that of last. Should this estimate
prove correct, over $4,000 persons and
$4,000 wagons will cross or rather at
tempt to cross, the mountains this season.
AS was the case last year, all kinds and
! descriptions of persons, from the poor
devil without cent III his pocket and
scarcely rag to his back, to the well
| conditioned individual, with his pockets
we'll lined, are now to be seen pushing
in hot haste towards the West. The
most distinguished character who has ye;
made his appearance in these parts tins

OFFICIAL DEVELOPMENTS of the
Baltimore Sun, writing from Washington
relative to the official correspondence I've
tween this Government and the Spanish
Minister now laid before Congress, says:
"Spain, it appears, threatened to proclaim
the emancipation of her negroes and to
still the rebellion of her subjects in blood.
Her Most Catholic Majesty, Donna Is
abella H., would prefer ruling over negro
bondnen to being constitutional Queen
over white ireemen. The threat to enan-
cipate the negroes has alarmed our gov
ernment as being fraught with dangers
to this country, and remonstrances were
accordingly made against tit remains
to be seen with what effect. 1t is the
bloodthirsty policy of Spain which, from
power aspiring to universal dominion
has sunk her into State of the second
rank"
