FINE DoINGs.

The Amalgamationist nofvery well pleased
with their reception in New York last year,
have shaken the dust of their feet against her,
and set up their tabernacle in Cincinnati
Fred Douglas is the big gun Of the concern.
lsmust have been very interesting to have seen
big, black, negro men, sitting BY pretty, deli
cate, white women, and exquisites Of the FIRST
water ogling their black sisters, with lips like
sausages, and hair like wool.
But the most interesting part of the whole
business, was letter from Cassius NJ. Clay.
We give two passages from il:
"Still there is hope-still there is hope-still
there is progress! "Agitation" is not quoted!
The battle "rages along the whole line." The
State is split-the Church is split! The right
of petition is won is the House-now the fight
begins in the. Senate! The end will be the
same! So are parties split! A new element
enters into the elections! The right of petition
is indicated! "Constrnctire treason" the
lasthope of tyrants, thank God, is dead"
And this by way of winding up: ~
Indeed! and does the chivalry grow pale at
last? Lady Macbeth: "Out damned spot
out'-I say!-one-two. Why then, It's time
to do it-heIl is murky! Fie, my lord, flea
soldier and afeared? What need we fear, who
knows it, where none can call our power to
account! Yet who should have thought the
old man TO have so much blood in him?"
Yes; there is progress! "Dont give up the
ship"
Ihave the honor to be
Your obedient servant, C.. nj. Clay.
There. that will do!'

THE EARTHQUAKE

The shock of the earthquake which was felt here
last week, seems to have extended throughout the
country friend, writing to US from Emory and
Henry College, speaks of it thus:
The shock of an earthquake was felt here today,
between IL and o'clock, SO sensb!y, that one OF
the Professors sought safety without the building,
and student loling on the bed, called out to his
chum to stop shaking the bed. The shock was more
perceptible in the west wing than any other part
of the building and gentleman, one mile south.

than here,

THE CALIFORNIA MAIL BAGS.

letter from G. A. Ferris 10 the Postmaster
OF New York, mentions that the boat contain
ing the U. S. Mail ran against snag ON the
2lst of April. and sank so rapidly, that the
mails were saved with great difficulty. The
New York Express says they are in terrible
condition, though, in most cases, is posi-
BILE to decipher them. That paper, in view Of
the heat through which these mails pass, takes
occasion TO deprecate The practice of sealing
with wax. The writer says the wax melts,
and four or five letters thus become fastened
together. which it is impossible to separate,
without destroying the address. He recon-
mends waters by all means.

OUTRAGEs AT ACAPULCO.

The New York Times gives an account OF
certain proceedings a, this port, which must
make the blood of every American boil in his
veins. 1t appears, that on the arrival of the
Golden Gate, on the 18th, number of her pas
sengers went ashore in ferrv-boat belonging
TO a native ferryman, who charged them fifty
cents for the passage-that they demurred,
the distance being but few rods, and the reg
ular rate but twenty-five cents-that all of
them paid, except w. H. Taylor, of Iowa, who
insisted on paying only the usual price-that
this was refused-that upon his at last con-
it, but said that he inust pay five dollars-that
upon his refusing TO submit TO this imposition,
he was seized by the Custom House guards,
and carried before the Captain of the port, who
put aheavy chain about his leg, and fastened
him to an anchor in the vestibule of the guard
house, where he was exposed to the gaze of
two thousand men-that the American Consul
Immediately demanded the prisoners release
from irons, and fair trial for him-that he
upbraided the Captain of the port, whose reply
was, tudt Hlc WOlu was fdU, dIIu til6tn sou
were not Immediately paid for his release. he
should be thrust into dungeon of the castle.
The Consul threatened him with the vengeance
of the United States, but it had no effect, for
the Captain obtained a file of soldiers, and
marched the man otto prison as he had threats
ened. The Consul repeated his threat, and
going to the commander ofthe military divis.
ion, insisted on the immediate trial of the pris.
oner, who in two hours was released.
We hope the government of this country
will listen to no apology for this conduct. The
Mexican authorities are in the habit of treating
our citizens as they please, and getting off by
apologising. Such apologies do not prevent
them from repeating the outrage, on the first
convenient opportunity. We trust that mea.
sures will be taken to punish this insult in
such manner that it will never be repeated
Let squadron be sent to Acapulco, and let it
burn the town to ashes, if the authorities do
not consent to ransom it at a high price. The
name of an American, like that of Roman in
ancient tines, like that of Briton n0sc, should
be word of terror TO all intermeddlins for
eigners. Let there be action, we say. These
Mexicans will compel US to take all their terri
tory, whether we wish il or not. Our voice is
for summary and complete vengeance
