ChepaIter Hulsemann on the Wi,g.-Chevaer
Husemann, says the Savannah Morning .Ne,os Of
Friday, left this morning in the boat for Charles
ton. He was in that city Il few days ago The
next we heard Of him he was in Jacksonville. On
Thursday he honored our city with his presence,
and to-day he is off to Charleston. The Flying
Dutchman or the Amsterdam man with the cork
leg, couldn't get ahead of the Austrian minister
Some people are curious to know what this ubi
quitous functionary is after in these parts, prowl
ing about on the salt marshes Of our Southern
coast Is he contrasting our peculiar Institutions
with those of his own country If So he will not
be much hattered by the comparison. Is he recon
notering with view to satisfy himself Of the
practcability Of an invasion, in case his govern
ment should be troubled with American Fill
busters' He certainly has some object in view
and we think conduct so suspicious and myster-
ious is sufficient to authorize n diplomatic note
from our government, demanding ar explanation
We must look into the matter, if the government
does not. If we can do no better, we will endeavor
to put our friend Major Jones, in correspond ence
| with the Baron, with view to elicit the desired
information.

Oliver Cromwell on tho Maine Law.

This title looks like curious anachronism, but
the grim old Puritan has put on record his
opinion of the principle underlying all such stump.
tuary laws as this of Maine. In a letter written
in 1854 to the governor of Ednburg Castle,
CROMWELL says:
"Your pretended fear lest error should step
in, is like the man ,oho would keep all The Wine
out of the country, lest men should become drunk
1t will be found an unjust and an unwise policy
to deprive a man Of his natural liberty, upon a
supposition that he may abuse it. When he
doth abuse t-judge."

Tbs BATTLE Between CARvAJAr AND THE
MExIcANs.--The New Orleans papers contain
the details of the battle between Earysiars
forces and the Mexicans, under Canales. The
engagement took place near Camargo. The
insurgents numbered 240, and the Mexicans
about 700, but at an early stage of the action
large number of the frmer were seized with
panic and fed, 80 that the contest was main
tanned by little more than fifty men, Canales
report that Carvajal was entirely routed, and
driven across the rivers San Jean and Rio
Bravo in such confusion that an immense num-
Der were drowned; that forty eight were found
dead on the field and twenty four wounded.
CarvsJal, however, gives very different nc
count. According to his statement, the Mex.
cans, with $50 cavsry, made desperate charpo
upon his forces, which caused serious STAN

which induced number Of Americans to fol-

with great slaughter, causing them finally to
retire across the San juan

sHy- The Republic says

In common with other papers in this city,
we repubshed, some days since, an article
from the Journal Of Commerce, New York,
stating that bill for $4,000, drawn by pur.
ser of United States ship on the Pacific coast
upon the department at Washington, endorsed
by the commander, and cashed at San Francis
co, was refused payment, and that it was re-
turned to California in consequence of defcien.
cies in the appropriations, or disarrangement in
the affairs of some particular Office. We learn
! that this statement is entirely erroneous-that
there s,4o such deficiency in the appropriations
for the naval service rs prevents compliance
with obligations to public creditors; nor has
there been any refusal to pay the draft of a pur-
SER or other officer having authority to raise
money for the naval service. On enquiry, we
are unable to hear of any recent transaction
which could give rise to such rumor.
10y The New York Post thus exposes new
feature in government prosecutions. The truth
or falsity of this charge should be made distinct
y to appear
REwARDING WITNEssEs.-It was proved yes
terday, in the progress of the Cuban invasion
trials, that the United States district attorney
allowed Burtenet, the informer and spy, his daily
fee, as witness, for period of six months an
terror to the period of his being summoned,
amounting in all to about 1926.
Will any gentleman of the profession inform
us whether it is usual for the government to
reward witnesses in this way, or to allow any
other than the legal compensation FIR this tes-
timony? We would like to know if such dis
cretion rests with the district attorney, and if it
does, whether it can be exercised without re-
flecting stain upon the prosecution?

~ Gov. C.Bs's negotiations Of George
stock in the Northern markets, is exciting con
siderable comment at home. There seems I.
be considerable doubt resting on the minds 0
his adversares and his allies, as 10 the precis,
character of these negotiations. The Co1umbu Vi
Times, Estate Rights Democratic,) thus alludes
to the matter;
The papers say that Gov Cobb has gone to
New York to negotiate the State bonds, to be
issued in pursuance of the appropriation for the
repairs and equipment of the State road--the
governor of the empire Southern State, trotting
round, to attend to the little jobs that might be
done better by correspondence through the
agency of his secretary!
We know, however, that but few will fail to
understand, that Gov. Cobb has gone to look af-
ter the Developments at Washington" which
the Athens Banner dwelt upon a short time
s ce and from which it was endeavoring to
encourage its disheartened friends to hope some
great relief would come.
AS the Hon. Alex. III. Stephens would say,
ait is suggestive of infaBy" for the governor of
the empire State, to leave his official post with
so miserable an apology, and that apology not
true, 30 far as it was designed 10 make the i'm
own political schemes induced his desertion Of
his duties in Miledgevile.
The Alabama Journal, one Of the leading
Union organs in that State, openly expresses
the same opinion, and even goes further in its
charges against the object of its previous eulo
ges. The Constitutional Union party seems
to be getting rather cranky.
GEORGIA STATE CONFERENCE.-The Union
central committee of Georgia, have called
State convention, at Milledgeville, on the Dad Of
April, for the purpose of taking into considera
ton the measures recommended BY a Legislative
caucus last winter From appearances, the
scheme of Cobb, Toombs and few Others will
fail, and the Union men Of that State will moi
be transferred like cattle to the support of
Baltimore convention, with Freesoilers. Cobb
is now on at Washington, and large expecta-
tons seem to be entertained of his ability to
bring the Union party into an alliance with the
Northern Freesoilers and anti compromise par
ty. These will be disappointed.

difficulty between the two representatives from

been adjusted in manner highly creditable to
both parties and that they now occupy the same
position of friendship which existed between
hem previous TO the unpleasant affair of yester-
lay.
This matter of adjustment has been brought
about by the commendable and prudent inter-

friend of Mr. BRowN; which task they under
