sions, in the streets, as well as in churches
such as the eleration Of the lost, the Uiati-

has already been prohibited in orders, and
as no civilized person will ever wantonly
do any act to hurt the religious feelings Of
others, it is earnestly requested of all Pro-
testant Americans either 10 keep out of the
ray, or to pay TO the Catholic religion and
its ceremonies every decent mark of respect
and Difference.
3. In the case of the uicticum Visits Of
consolation to the sick and dying, command
ers of corps are requested when called upon,
to allow two Roman Catholic soldiers to per-
form the usual functions on such occasions.
4. There is every reason to believe that
a very large distribution of knives and
dirks has recently been made to liberated
convicts (thieves and murderers) for the
purpose of assassinating American soldiers
found drunk or otherwise off their guard.
5. Measures are in progress to search out
and seize for execution the instigators and
leaders of those assassins. In the mean
time guards and patrols will search all sus-
picious persons, disarm, and, if necessary
confine them for trial and punishment.

A WING u S. SENATOR IN A DILEMMA
Senator Smith, Of Connecticut, says the Albany
Argus, appears in an unenviable attitude in the
sketch of the debate in the Senate which we
give to-day.
1t may be necessary to say, in explanation,
that Mr.. Smith, with other whig members the
Senate and House, got up and published card
or circular to which they appended their names,
and, under their franks, circulated it in certain
sections where their political character was not
supposed to be very well known-the purport
of which was that they had determined to with
hold their support from Pierce and King. The
affair was paraphrase of the card of certain 9TH
er aohig members of Congress- in which they pro-
claimed their determination to withhold their
support from Scott and Graham. 1t was design
ed and well calculated, to give the false Impress
ion that the signers were prominent democratic
members of Congress, and had repudated the
candidate of the democratic party
Puerile and paltry as the eXpedient in itself
was, and unbccomng, if not unbecoming, to the
1" grave and reverend Senator" and his co-sgn-
ers-it assumed the character of designed de-
ception, when instead of being left to run its
course in the public prints where its character
could be seen and exposed,it was privately rank-
ed by some Of the signers, into unknown parts,
as an authentic and vertable document, rs truly
defining the position of certain prominent dem
ocrats, and in all respects everything that it pur-
ported to be.
Mr.. Smith, it appears, the wing Senator from
Connecticut, was one of those who had thus
franked this pretended democratic pronuncia-
mento-and that when asked if this was so, he
clustered and evaded the nquiry--but virtually
confessed to the attempted imposition What
position this for u S. Senator!

Land of my Fathers-home Of my infancy
and youth-friends of my early manhood-what
changes time hath wrought in, around and upon
the land of my fathers. Puritan land, thou art
greatly changed, or am, and that too sadly
Wherein fully, dare not say, strange mixture
Of feeling fills the heart, takes possession Of the
whole man, when visiting the gardens OF his
early pleasures, the fields of his early happi-
ness and the almost sunken mound of his early
sorrow. New faces appear along those we'll
trod pathways, new forms fit around those
dwellings; stranger footprints mark the thresh-
old, and stranger generation congregate and
sing the song of home around the heathstone.
One feels like Stranger in a strange land''
until recollection draws aside the curtain which
years have woven, save in the presence of the
left in bustling, blooming manhood. The same
hearty shake of welcome is there the same ex-
pressive features are there, and the sweet ex-
pressions of friendship unchanged And yet
they are changed. Age hath dimmed the eye,
time furrowed deep the brow, and purity cast
her shadow over those flowing locks, which
point us all to the utmost limit of human life.
All, all is change, and we should recollect and
forget it not the same years have written SINH
lar changes upon our forms and reflections,
which tend to sweeten, improve and beautfy
human existence, should become ours as we
blndly wind up the siken cord of human frai-
ty until startled by the swapping of its brittle
tenure, sundered by the immutabe destiny of a
worldwide humanity.

A DAMPER.-On Friday last, as the steame

A DAMPER.-On Friday last, as the steamer
London was coming down the river, Collector
Hyde, who is one other owners, being on board,
ordered her to be run near a small steamboat
that had four vessels in tow, to show the jolly
tars on the sa-crafts the Scott flag flying at the
masthead of the London, and procure for them
three cheers for the wing nominees On near
ing the little fleet, the Collector pointed to the
bunting, and shouted: Hey boys three
cheers for Scott! Hur-r-r-" Finding that no one
chimed in with him, he cast his eyes from the
flag to the decks of the vessels where he was
confronted by one of the sailors, who mounted
galley and proposed three cheers for Pierce
and King, which were readily given by all on
board, and with such enthusiasm that Mr. Hyde
retired to arrange for hosting wing banners on
all his boats, and thus induce strangers to i'm
agine that the lake boys are for Scott.

OLD RoTHsCmLD.-We once heard the fol-

here goes: Old Mr.. Rothschild not the smart,
dashing liberal member for the city of London,
but the dry, caustc, fact business man,
his father, took fancy to a poor young man
named Isaac, a Jew, and set him up in business
as stockbroker. He prospered well in bust

changed his name but he had a strongly mark

carry annoying news, upon hearing of Isaac {"

GOLD MINES ON THE IsTHMUs.-None doubt
the existence Of extensive and rich gold mines
on the Isthmus of Panama Sufficient test has
already been made to prove their pro6abeness,
Mt least in the vicinity of Choco, whence large
quantities of dust have been sent to this city as
we'll as to Europe from Buenaventura, by the
English steamer Most of the mines in Cho-
co arc held rs private property, and consequent
ly cannot be worked by private individually
without paying heavy per centage OF Their earn
ings. These mines are more easy OF access
than any known ones We wot OF, which renders
them the more valuable. The most extensive
mining on the Isthmus is carried on in the
neighborhood of Quibdo or Citera, and the par
ties owning 81 working them are receiving great
profits upon the capital invested, and that is n
reason for not wishing foreigners to operate in
the mines in that vicinity. On the Rio Andaga-
da, a branch Of the Atrats, about two days pull :
above Quibdo, are said to be rich mines, which
have not been taken up, also in the neighbcr.-
hood of Noveta which is situated above CitefT.
On the Rio Bebera, about fifteen miles below
Quibdo or Citera, are also good mines, which
are easy of access, and free to whoever chooses
to work them.
High up the rivers, surface gold is found in
considerable quantities lower down 1t is found
at considerable DEPTH and much of the top earth
has to be removed before it is accessible. The
dust resembles that found in California. In the
Interior we understand that there are good Dig
gings high up in the mountains, where patna
is frequently found mingled with the gold, but
there many savage animals and venimous SER
penis are to be met with. The natives build
their huts on piles some six feet from the
ground, for protection from the beasts of prey.
The natives are said to be dishonest and treach-
erous in the extreme--s0 much so, that it
would be dangerous for q single individual to
trust himself in their power. We expect to
heor shortly from our friends who have recent
y entered that section of the Ishmus for the
purpose of examining its golden resources, and
when we do, we expect to be able to give a
more detailed account of the country, and the
prospect of individuals mining there with sue
cess.
Gold undoubtedly abounds in the interior of
the Isthmus within few miles of the city but
the great difficulties to be overcome before the
mines can be worked with profit has hereto
fore discouraged anybody from making the at
tempt. The high price of PROVISIONS and the
difficulty ofgetting them to the region of the
mnes--no roads, or even paths, being open
whereby the adventurers can test the profit
ableness Of working the mines. And there
is no hope that this Government will ever ac-
complish anything in the way of rendering its
mineral wealth available to the enterprise of
those who might feel disposed to increase tho
resources of the country in such a direction.
