steamboat Racing.

The Wheeling and Louisville and the
Pittsburgh and Cincinnati packets, for the
past few weeks. have been trying to outstrip
each other in speed. Heavy bets have been
wagefed by the friends Of the rival lines, and
considerable interest is manifested at this
and other points to know who the visitors are
in this questionable kind of Sport. The Al
vim Adams, Of the Union Line, came down
on Wednesday evening some fifteen minutes
ahead of the steamer Allegheny, and the
Buckeye State passed up on the same even
ling about an hour ahead of the David White,
Passengers on the latter boat report that she
broke her tiller rope at Ripley and was de.
tanned there, in consequence, an hour or two.

the fastest boats. They are all splendid and
speedy vessels, whose owners can gain moth.

Public opinion here is about equally divided
for and against the two lines, but our "boys'
manifested their satisfaction, on Wednesda,
evening, upon seeing the Buckeye State
come in ahead of her rival, by giving he
three hearty cheers-glad doubtless to see tht
boat bearing the name of our gallant State
in the lead.

LATER AND IMPORTANT FROM
HONDURAS AND MEXICO.
New ORLEANS, March

1NhW ShLGhNoI Au al Nh
We have adyices from the city of Mex
leo to the 21st ult. The Trait de Union
says there is little doubt that Santa Anna
will be elected. Ahouse has been already
procured and furnished for him, and a
Mexican Revenue Cutter had sailed from
Vera Cruz, on the 2lst, with a Commiss-
ioner to invite his immediate return.
We have, also, late dates from Hondu-
ras, where great excitement prevailed.
The British war-steamer Devastation
had anchored off Cenpellp, and demanded
the surrender of the town in the name oil
the Mosquito King, under threat Of bonn
bardment, giving only two hours to decide.
The inhabitants yielded under protest,
and the Honduras flag was pulled down
and the Mosquito flag hoisted. The steam
er then proceeded to Lama and cannona-
ding was afterward heard in that quarter,
andit was presumed that the steamer had
been attacked by the Honduras troops.

A Revolutionary Soldier

Mr.. James Mcdonald. Que of the Oldest
soldiers under General Washington, was in
our city last night. He is returned from a
western visit TO some friends, TO his nome
in Richmond, Va. He was born in Glasgow,
Scotland, 18th September, 1884, and is now
l04 years old. He enjoys good health, and
has vigor commen 10 men of 80. He has
remarkable good sight and hearing, and has
never been sick but once in his life. He
fought in all the principal battles in North
and South Carolina. He lost one eye at the
battle Of the Cowpens, under General Nor
gan, and received two wounds at the battle
Of Brandywine, under Washington and La
Fayette, Be was at the battles of Trenton
and Princeton, where the bra We General Mer.
Ger was shot. He saw General Warren fall
at Bunker Hill, while cheering on his troops
to victory, and to sum up, he fought in siI
battles in New York and Vermont under Gen.
erals Gates and Arnold. He takes great
pleasure in narrating the events of his youn
ger days, and is fred anew with patriotism
as he recounts the struggle for Indedendence
He is warmly received wherever he goes, ant
no American lives but that feels lively in
terest in the old man and his s.oriee. Ma,
his shadow never grow less.

The Railroad Snirlt.

Meetings, numerously attended and spirit
edly conducted, have been held at Russell
vile, Feesburg, and orher points on the line
of the projected railroad connecting Cincin-
natl and Portsmouth, showing clearly that
the people of those sections will not be con-
tent to lag behind the spirit of the age and
travel on the slow gait Of the present.
On the 9th inst, large assemblage Of The
citizens of Feesburg and its neighborhood, to
urge this enterprise forward, was presided
over by w. Richards; S. T. Bronson acting
as Secretary, and addressed by DR.. Chase and
DR.. McCasky, The project met with unani-
nous favor, and w. M. Martin was chosen
Treasurer and H. McKibben Corresponding
Secretary, to aid in the work. Push on the
ball.
