IMPORTANT FROM NICARAGUA.-BritiSh
interpretation Of the BuitCer and Clay
ton Ireaty.-Late news from Nicaragua
indicates that the British authorities put a
very different Interpretation upon the
treaty of Washington, concluded in June
last, to that which the United States puts
upon it. One of the objects of the treaty
was 10 annihiate the absurd and untenable
pretensions of Great Britain i'll Nicaragua,
under fabricated protectorate over the
Musquito King, besides enlisting the cor
dial cooperation of both governments in
the construction of an inter-oceanic COM
munication.
The intelligence from Nicaragua of
which we speak informs us that the port
of San Juan-the terminus of the project
ed canal on the Atlantic side-is overawed
by the presence of two British vessels OF
war; that the military force-a pretended
police-has been largely augmented, that
a per capita tax of So is exacted of all
passengers, and that other and equally
oppressive measures are enforced by the
British agents who are stationed there.
The British government desire 10 possess
the Atlantic entrance 10 the canal, hence
these proceedings, looking like purpose
10 evade her part of the contract.
We find the following extract of a let
ter, dated September 18th, from one ot
the members of the Nicaragua government

S We have rumors of numerous fights
and "sprees" among the laborers on the
Central Railroad, in which numbers have
been wounded, and several killed. Con-
cerning many of these disgraceful riots
we have been unable TO obtain any au-
thentc information. Al Greensburg on
the 9TH inst, riot took place in which
three men were most shockingly cut,
bruised and stabbed-onc had his Jaw
broken. The Greensburg .4rgus, in
giving an account OF the occurrence says ::
The rioters after gIutting their ven
geance on these victims, repaired to a
tavern kept by McCabe, an Irlshman, a
little distance from this borough, and
commenced breaking in the doors and
windows. A stout resistance was made
by the inmates, and the Sheriff making
his appearance with strong force, the
rioters left precipilately. The darkness
of the night prevented arrests. They
amounted to about one hundred men, who
had came into town IN the evening to
bury one of their comrades, collected at a
shautee where liquor is sold, and prepared
themselves by copious draughts of "rot
gut to perpetrate the most fiendish cru
elites upon some of their own country
men. Several shots were fired on both
sides. They were from section several
miles out IN the country.
The laborers have all quit work in
this vicinity. The contractors, we learn,
are not willing 10 pay more than 81 cents
per day during the winter months which
the laborers refuse to work for.
"On Tuesday night last several fights
took place. one man was dangerously
, stabbed, and another severely beaten"

We take the above from the Pittsburg
Morning Post, and commend it to the at
tention of those persons in this county
who have been in the habit of traducing
and abusing Mr.. Campbell to the full ex-
tent of their ability. The talented editor
Of the Post "speaks from the book" when
he compliments the Superintendent for the
able manner in which he has discharged
his official duties. Nj. Campbell in win
ming the appreciation of the forwarding
and business men of Pttsburg, needs no
higher testimony as TO his official worth.

RHE U MATISM CAN BE CURED

THIS gvereiyn and effectual remedy for

family.
It's incredible cures have ustonished thou
sands who have witnessed its power over that
disease. Unfortunate, despairing invalids, who
have been bed-ridden for years, have been re-
stored to the enjoyment of perfect health. 1t
banishes all pain in few days, and its efficacy
is gladly realized by the patients being able to
resume their usual avocations, after having
suffered in tornents for months and years
The wonderful success of the EMBROCA-
TON, in curing the worst cases of Rheu-
matism, has acquired for it celebrity I'M
precedented, and its fame originated from
its own merits. 1t never has failed to cure
Rheumatism, either inhammatory or chronic;
and feel safe in saying it never will if fairly
tried. pledge myself 10 refund the cash to
any person who uses it properly without being
benefited thereby. Youwho are afflicted may
have tried every other remedy but this. Try
IT, and if it does not cure, it will not cost
you any thing. By this rule desire it should
be used.
Persons are warned to be OIL their guard of
whom they purchase. as several mean at
tempts have been made to procure the RECIPE
from which this medicine is prepared. The
proprietor deems 1t his duty to say to the af-
flicted that he will furnish travelling agents
with written authority for depositing it.
