A Negro Turned Indian.

MANY of our citizens doubtless recollect
Carey, negro or rather mulatto, who lived
in this city some ten or twelve years since.
He was an excellent performer On the tiie,
flute and other musical instruments, and be-
longed TO the band Of the old Louisville
Guards, and when this company paraded ne
discoursed his music to the iEfnite delight
of the crowds Of urchins who followed the
sogers!' Well, Carey thought it would
prove more profitable to turn Indian, and for
several years he has been staring it through
the country as DR.. 0kah Tubbee, giving con-
certs, &c. For several months Indiana has
been the scene of his operations, and we have
been much amused reading the newspaper
accounts Of his progress Carey has shown
himself to be aworthy rival OF Barnum In
the humbugging line. He claims to be an
Indian Chief, and that his wife, who assists
at his concerts, as an Indian Princess. He
was recently at indianapolis, and he seemed

Our Trade.

1t has been pleasant job to us within the
last few wears to chronicle from time to time
the various improvements in our town, and
the extension of our trade. We have doubled
both our population and our business within
the last ten years, and hope to more than
double them by 1850. We have fine up and
down river packets, which bring trade ana
add much towards building up city and de-
welcoming the resources Of the country about
it. We shall have still greater facilities
when the Railroad is completed. All under
stand this. But, we must not be idle In the
meantime. A good plank-road into Adams
county would do much towards increasing
our trade and adding to our commercial I'M
portance. We believe there is charter for
a turnpike to Hillsborough. What has ever
been done towards constructing this road
Has survey been made by competent en-
gineer? If so, what was the report of that
engineer? Will some one inform us? A
plank road is cheaper and can be constructed
where turnpikes cannot, and why not form a
plank road company in the place of the turn
pike company? A hint to the wise is sufi'
cient, and we respectfully commend this
project to the consideration of our business
men, and farmers in Adams county.

Arrival of the America.

The news by the America is unimportant.
In Ireland, the Potato rot had appeared to a
limited extent.
M. D. Tocqueville had presented to the
French Assembly his report on the revision
of the constitution. The report is strongly
in favor of a revision, and is remarkable fol
its strict imparliality and candor.
General Fabier will propose a motion to
elect Constituent Assembly by universal
suffrage.
The debate on the report of M. De Toe
queviIle took place on the l4th OF July.
The Council of State, by vote of Il
against and in favor, have settled the re
sponSibility of the executive power, in con
formity with the constitution, a provision
of which renders it high treason to subver

The Nicaragua Question.

Some two years ago the English seized up
on the port Of San Juan de Nicaragua, drove
out the small garrison and took possession of
it on the ground that it belonged to the Mus
quito Kingdom. They have since held it
nominally for the Musquitos though really
for themselves. San Juan belongs to Nicar-
aqua by every right but that of possession,
of which she were SO mjustly deprived by
the British. 1t is situated at the mouth of
the San Juan river, and will before long be
the terminus of ship canal across to the
Pacific, the beautiful Lake of Nicaragua,
from which the San Juan flows, saving the
construction of the same considerable part
Of the distance. San Juan therefore, will be
a point Of some importance ere long, and the
English, knowing this, are not disposed to
surrender it, as they are bound to do by the
treaty lately concluded with the U. s. Sir
Henry Bulwer thinks that the place would
not be safe in the hands of Nicaragua as the
terminus Of the canal and free port. He
doubtless dislikes to admit that the seizure
ofthe place wasa violation ofnational rights
lby surrendering itup to theproper authori-
ties, but this must be done. There is no one
else to hold it, for Costa Rica has nevel
claimed it. Sir Henry is in beautiful guam
diary about the matter, to be sure, but, as III
United States and Nicaragua insist upon III
Bhtish complying with the terms Of u
treaty, he must yield.

advantages to be derived from an early con-
