description of the hardships this people have en-

he took care to improve by testifying in the most
unqualified manner, to the fathfulness, affec-
ton and devotion of the Mormon women in their
relations of daughters, sisters and wives.
"Mr. KANE's opportunities OF observation were,
we think, as commented on by him, well calculated
to remove in the minds of his hearers the prejudice
existing against this people. Their hospitality to
California emgrants, and unvarying kindness to
all who sought shelter and protection at their
hands, were facts of which the prints bore constant
proof; and that their enterprise and sagacity, and
industry, were elements which composed their char
acter, and were fast elcvatng them into the con-
diton Of great and thriving race; and that they
had already assumed position which entitled them
to admission into the Union. Some of Mr.. KANE's

Death OF Midshipmar B.yard.

We learn, (says the Philadelphia Isquirsy,) with
much regret, that Charles Carroll Bayard a passed
midshipman in the United States navy, and the
son Of distinguished citizen Of Philadelphia died
at Naples on the 22d Of February last, in the 22d
year OF bic age He was young man OF rare vir-
tues and brilliant promise. We sincerely condole
with his bereaved relatives and friends. His death
was occasioncd by wound received from stone
thrown from the crater of Ycsuvius, while he was

PANAMA RAILRoAD.-The New York Journal of
Commerce learns from the best authority that the
statements recently brought out, by some OF the pas
sengers from the Ishmus in relation to the opera
tons the Panama railroad, are not well founded.
The work is in no sense suspended or discon-
tinued; on the contrary, Mr.. Totten, one OF the
of January last, in pursuance Of his original plan,
left Chagres for Carthagena on the 10Th of Feb
ruary for the purpose of bringing to the isthmus
the native labor with which he constructed the Car
thagena canal.
Al the latest adviccs, Mr.. Totten was in perfect
health, and his partner, Mr.. Trautwine, was &C
| lively engaged in the preliminary arrangements
necessary to commence the work.
Owing, however, to the immense concourse Of
passengers on the Chagres river, and the expense
and difficulty Of transporting materials and Provi-
sions up that stream, and the present high prices
paid for navigating it in canoes, the directors have
modified their original plan of operations, by COM
mcncing the work at Navy Bay, on the Atlantic,
where provisions may at all times, be cheaply pro-
cured, instead OF Gorgona, which is some thirty
miles up the river.
| And this circumstance may very possibly have
given rise to the rumor coming from the river, that
| the work was suspended.
soon expected, when the first operations in con :
struction will be commenced at Navy Bay, with
native labor and such troops as the government Of
New Grenada may furnish, under their contract
with the company.
| Since writing the above, we have received the
following communication from a gentleman just
arrived from the Isthmus:
"a see il stated in the papers that the contractors
have given up, and that the work would probably
be failure. Such is not the case. Permit me to
state few facts for the benefit Of all concerned.
Since January have been frequently with Messrs.
Totten & Trautwine, both at Chagres and Cor
gona. At the latter place they are putting up the
buildings necessary for themselves and all in their
employ. saw Mr.. Totten just before he embarked
for Carthagena. He was perfectly well. Some OF
the engineers in their employ have been sick with
had ot
gona as at Chagres. AS for laborers, General Her
nan offered them five hundred men from the prov
ince of Chirigni, at IS per month and found. Mr..
Totten has gone to press the government of New
Grenada to fulfil the contract, viz: to put the
road three hundred sappers and miners, they
are ready to break ground, but of course wish the
government to do their part. Messrs. T. & t. we'll
know what they have undertaken, and will carry
il through. / am in way connected with the
company, but think the public should know the
truth"
