THE ILLINOIS CENTRAL RAILRoAD.-The
Chicago journal of yesterday had the following,
which refers to Mr.. Walkers success as ageut
for the Fond du Lac Company 90
'Mr. r. J. Walker has been highly success
full in his negotiations in England relative to the
Illinois Central Railroad
MIR. Walker had not opened negotiations at
the last date, but was merely making the pre-
liminary explanations whilst awaiting for add-
tional papers, which went out in the steamer
that left about the first. A splendid map of the
State, with the route Of the road, and the lands
selected upon it, also Mr. Rantours letter, and
great variety of letters from eminent men in
Illinois and in other States, and also the opinion
of the very ablest Supreme Court lawyers in
this country, were sent out in that steamer
Upon their arrival Mr.. Walker was expected to
open negotiations for the whole seventeen mil
lions, and to return himself with the news,
should he be successful.
The Company expect him home from the
tenth to the twentieth of December. That he
will be successful we entertain not a single
doubt: At any rate, he will succeed if any man
can.-Chic. Dem.

report that Caravaial had on the 9th inst, af.

After the abandonment of the siege, a per-

IMPORTANT, IF TRUE.-lt is mentioned edi-
torially in the London Spectator, journal pro-
verbally careful in its statements, that the
doings of the British anti-sIavery cruisers in
the waters Of Brazil, have induced the ministry
of that Empire to propose to the Senate, that,
in the event of continued attacks upon their
shipping in the Ports and seas of Brazil, their
coasting trade shall be placed under the protec-
ton of foreign flag There can be no doubt,
as the Spectator says, that the United States is
the nation whose protection they would invoke,
and that their request would probably be grant
ed.
If this be true, we apprehend that Lord Pal
merston will issue instructions to prevent such
an issue. But we cannot see that the statement
COMFORTS with the understood agreement ecent-
" renewed between Brazil and the British
Government, by which the former PLEDGED
herself to cooperate in the utmost with the
latter in suppress;ng the slave trade upon her
own coasts. 1t is true that Brazil may have
already repented of her pledge. But would The
United States in that case give Brazil the pro-
lection she might ask Could this Government
be honorably an assisting party to such breach
of treaty. And then the effect Of the United
States interfering for her protection under such
circumstances would be, practically, to foster
the slave trade most efficiently, unless Brazil
transferred to the United States her cooperation
for its suppressing, in which case she would
gain nothing by the s'protection." And more
over, if she does not keep faith with great
Britain, what guaranty is there that she will
keep faith with the United States?-.Nc,o York

seem-Forney, the special advocate of Mr..
Buchanan for the Presidency, in the Pennsyl-

are likely to be leading candidates for the

cone from the Buchanan men-he will get no

only the other day that, in speech at New

meanest Democrat that ever lived, than for

There is one statement is the above which

The WAR WAGES Hor.-The " Fairfield
Ledger has stirred up the ire of the Wing
press. The last Hawkeye comes 20 us heavily,
laden, with praise of Gen Sargent and the
Wing party, and abuse of the editor of the
Ledger and the Democratic press and party of
Iowa. 1t may be as well for the editor of the
Hawkeye to confne himself to correcting the
evils in his own party, without giving publicity
to imaginary evils in the democratic party
The truth is, the Ledger has contained many
pertinent observations uponthe administration of
the Surveyor Gen'ls Office, and the course and
consistency Of the Wing party and we have no
doubt it will contain many more. Had this of
fee been conducted as it ought to have BEEN
