sound Of carriage wheels was heard from alar !;
the robbers paused, Mr.. M. thrust his head out
OF the window, and as the carriage approached,
hallooed at the top Of his voice. They heard
his cries, and stopped, when the robbers fed
by the back door. There were four men in the
carriage, they secured three women whom they
found in the house, and lodged them in jail BY
their information, the men We're caught soon
after, tried, and hung; the women were rebanished
to Botany Bay for life.

many articles identified that belonged to persons

SOUTHERN CnIvALRY AND NORTHERN NEGROES.
The intelligent editor of the New York Herald"
says:
"The most astonishing feature of this Kossuth
furore is, that it swallows up everything, and
brings all parties and all colors to the common
level of the French motto of liberty, equality,
and fraternity Mr.. Madison and Mr.. Calhoun,
of Florida and the. Virginians, at the irving
House, are quite rs lavish of their praises as the
colored population. The white chivalry of the
South are even more liberal in their promises of
cooperation than the black chivalry of the North
But let our Southern progressives and propagan-
dists look for moment at the drift of this thing,
and it will dampen the ardor Of their sympathy
with the liberals Of Europe like a'wet blanket
The emancipation Of Hungary, of Austria, Prus-
sia, Rome, Italy, Germany, France, Great Britain,
and Ireland, win be but the first grand divisions
Of the new reformation The second branch Of
the movement will be on this side OF the Allan
tic {; and there will be work enough for the level
lers, from Canada to Cape Horn. But nothing
stands out so conspicuously inviting the first
combined assault of the European and abolition
propaqandists as the abolition of slavery in the
United States. To that complexion it must come
at last. The mission of Kossuth is the cause of
Hungary but it is also the cause of Europe the
cause Of universal emancipation, including free
dom to the slaves of the South. The move tends
to the abolition of slavery in the South, or 10 dis
solution of the Union"

utmost limit in America; and yet those twenty
degrees Of the American continent included

sessions of the United States
The value of these possessions of England
and Russia cannot fail in another generation
to be recognised In fifty years from to-day,
the population Of the United States will be
one hundred millions, and every square mile Of
our present territory will be appropriated, per-
haps cultivated. The States Of Mexico, already
peopled, will at that day no longer present
fields for colonization and thus pent up on
all sides except the north, can any one doubt
that our active restless population will over
flow in that direction? The settlement of
those frigid regions may be slow, but it will
be certain.
The rate Of increase of population in this
country has been about 100 per cent for every
twenty-five years; and extending the calcula-
tion ahead for a century from the present time,
and we shall have four hundred millions
being about one-third more than the popula-
tion Of all Europe. Before that period arrives

The Tshuantepec Grant.

A correspondent of the New York Tribune
says that the Telegraph ".wll oppose Garay's
Tehuantepec grant" The Telegraph will do no
such thing. But it will expose the miserable
bunging and mismanagement Of our Mexican re-
lations by the Department Of State, which has
jeoparded, if not altogether defeated, the nego
tiation begun by the late administration for the
purpose of securing the Tehuantepec commune
cation to American citizens, which has disgust
ed and alienated Mexico, which has excited dis
trust and suspicion where we should cultivate
and merit confidence and friendship, has
been disgraceful to the United States Govern
ment, and threatens to be disastrous to all our in
terests in Mexico. We desire to see the Tchuan-
tepec, and all other routes to the Pacific, opened
as speedily as possible, and would be pleased
to see Garay's grant confirmed, for the benefit
of the American citizens who have been
made interested in 1t. But we wish to see this
done by friendly fair and honest negotiation, in
the spirit of good neighborhood, and not by
bullying and threatening Mexico, because she is
weaker than ourselves We happen to know
| something of the views Of the Mexican govern
ment. We know that the distinguished and en-
lightened statesmen now ut the head OF that
government are of opinion that the United States
are, by the necessity fpositon, either their nat
ural allies or their natural foes, and desire to
hold us rather as friends than as enemies. To
do this they will do much, will readily grant any
| thing that the United States Government would
ask in becoming and proper spirit. We believe
that it is no less the interest of the United States
than Of Mexico to cultivate the closest alliance
and friendship, and are unwilling to see the De-
partment of State trucking to the power of Great
Britain, and at the same time wantonly and cause
lessly threatening Mexico that it will make Ga
rays alleged rights "a national affair." and enforce
them By The strong arm Of this Government" We
are still more unwilling that it should thus, by
its bullying and bad faith, drive Mexico into an
alliance with Great Britain, Wild Cat, and the
numerous tribes of hostile savages on our south
ern and western frontiers

AN IMPORTANT VEuDIcT.--The United States
Circuit Court for the southern district of New
York has just concluded a trial for libel against
rappan & Douglass, Of the . Mercantile Agen-
cy," Of that city, which resulted in verdict for
the plaintiffs, Beardsey & Co., of Ohio, OF ten
thousand dollars This agency" is an estab-
lshment which, through correspondents in all
parts of the country, keeps record of the stand
ing Of merchants who resort to the Atlantic
cities to make purchases of goods on credit and
by means of it mercantile firms who are in doubt
as to the integrity or solvency Of any customer
Offering to make bill can, for small sum, get
what is supposed to be satisfactory information.
1t is easy to see that under such system an in
dolent, misinformed, or malicious agent can ruin
an honest mans character and business, without
the sufferer knowing how or by whom he has
been wronged. In this case, the libel consisted
in the statement in writing by Tappan a. Co.
that Bcardsley s. Co. unworthy of credit,
the verdict by the jury being rendered as above.
There is such an Agency" we believe, in every
Atlantic city, but few such verdcts as this will

Com. Stockton I'm the Senate.

Extract Of letter from Southern gentleman,
now in Washington, to his friend in Trenton N. j.:
WASHINGTON, Dec TO- 1851.
81 was in the Senate to-day, when your new
Democratic Senator Commodore Stockton) ad-
dressed the Senate on the Kossuth Resolutions
| had read his letter to Webster, and his
speeches at Elizabethtown, and was not without
fears that, rising he did Immediately after the
eloquent Sumner, he would fail to arrest the at
tentiUn Of the Senate; but cannot express my
qualification when found that he electrified the
whole body by the force, eloquence, and truthful.
| ness with which he warned the Senate agains,
| the danger of committing this country to an nj
lance with England. l was more than gratifeG
to see that while he was anxious to treat Kossuth
with courtesy he was resolved that we should not
become the victims of British dipomacy--that he
had studied, understood, and is prepared to en-
counter, the policy of England | was gratifed
to witness the effect which his warning had, and
the quick response his declaration received from
all parts of the Senate. There is no man now in
public life who combines so many of those quail
ties which gave General Jackson his commanding
influence over the country. With wise pre-
science he foresees the danger of an alliance with
England; and with the address of an experienced
statesman, he avails himself of the same occasion
to express his high respect and sympathy for Kos
suth, ut the same time that, by his timely warn,
ing, he admonishes the noble Hungarian, and the
country, that England is not and never viii be
the champion Of republican liberty, and that
therefore we never can be united with her in q
war for the independence Of Hungary.
al was the more gratihed, because, since the
death of Mr.. Calhoun, we Of the South have felt
| that there was no person in either house of Con
gress upon whose wisdom and counsels we could
rely. Commodore Stockton has neither the rep
utation nor experience Of Mr.. Calhoun, and the
personal friends and political admirers of that
distinguished statesman do not expect to find any
public man in all respects SO much entitled to
their confidence, respect, and affection, (for it
was the peculiar property of that great man to
absorb the affections as we'll as the confidence of
his friends;) yet they find in Commodore Stock
ton many of his attributes. His moral courage,
his purity of purpose, his jealous watchfuness
and punctilious regard for the honor Of his coun-
try and the freshness and manly boldness with
which he declares his opinions and policy, con-
trast so forcibly with the grovelng subserviency
of the place hunting demagogues of the day,
that we are constrained to look to him as the
man most deserving our confidence and support"
We are much obliged to our friend for the
permission of publishing the above extract, as it
gives US such an insight to private Southern feel
ing as cannot be obtained from usual public cor
respondence.--Tru american
