rope, Dr. Franklin had CHANGED to dine with
the English and French Ambassadors when

"ENeLASD.-The Sun, whose bright beams

The French Ambassador, glowing with ma

vious toast, drank
"FRANcE.-The moon, whose mild, steady

The DARIEN SHIP CANAL-The Washing
ton correspondent of the New York journal of
Commerce, in recent letter to that paper,
says:
"The surveys of the Darien route for the
proposed ship canal, as made by Messrs. Gis-
borne and Forde, engineers Of the company,
may be seen at the State Department. That
work is certainly Immediately TO be commenc-
ed and carried through. The estimated ex-
pense Of the work is only sixty millions Of dol
lars.
The enterprise is under the management
chiefly Of Sir Charles Fox, of the house Of Fox
Henderson & Co, Of London. The same
house has taken the contract for the great rail
way in Canada and has offered TO take the
contract for the road from St Louis TO the
southwest corner Of Mssouri--3i0 miles,
"The Daren Ship Canal is work 10 be
execu ed before we shall have done talking,
and regulating, and disputing about the Mic
aragua and Tehuantepee transits, and the rail
roads across the continent through our own
territory.
The Darieh Ship Canal is to be forty miles
only in length that is, from port Escoce to
the port San Miguel. 1t will be 100 feet in
width, and 80 depth. This route nuw sur.
veyed and selected was discovered only so re-

to say, this is to e completed before the 1e-
husntepec transit 50 long explored aud brought
to the notice Of the world by the great Hum
boldt and surveyed, too, in 1851, by Captain
Bernard.
The British government have given their
appreciation and countenance to this grand en-
terprise. The company have most favorable
contract with New Granada, and this is fur
ther secured by treaty between New Grana

/ MoUNT NERNoN.-Nhen Washington died.
Mount Vernon was a beautiful spot The
house-the lawn sloping down to the river
the garden-the roads--the gateways--the
trees-everything indicated care and taste.
For years afterwards, when visitors came there.
they were shown the chair in which he used
TO sit and write, the marble mantel piece and
the key of the BSstile,.-- sent 10 him from
France by Lafayette-and a hundred 9TH
er relics, preserved with jealous care bv the
family And until recently they found there
a gray-haired negro, faithful and attached
servant of Washington who kept the key of
the enclosure where his old masters tomb was
situated. 1t was his greatest pride and
pleasure to talk BY the hour Of "Massa Wash
ington," and to relate the incidents fhis life
and death, Then be would take you down
to the vault itself, on whose steps he had so
long sat sentinel and as he approached, his
voice would sink into revereni whisper.
There was an air Of quiet neatness every
where. The tolIng of some passing steam
boat bell was the only sound that broke the
solemn Stiffness There was something every.
where to remind you of the respect due to the
Grave where Washington lay buried.
Go TO Mount Vernon now. After toiing
up the long sandy road from Alexandria YOU
come to the shady entrance There was gate
once, but it has fallen down, and you drive over
it The lodge that stands near il is dilapida-
ted and empty. The avenue tkthe house is
overgrown with grass and weeds A crumb-
ling brick wall on one side shuts off the neg
lected flower garden. The house looks old
and decaying. One of the posts of the veran.
da has fallen out and the roof Is cracked and
bent over it. Moss grows on the doorstep.
There is no guide 70 show YOU the way, but
there is low range Of novels on one side,
from which two or three ragged negro boys
run out, to offer YOU hickory stick, as a relic
Of Mount Vernon, for a sixpence. You follow
winding footpath down towards the river
side. An unsightly red brick structure stands
before you. 1t is long since it was painted,
and the masonry is decaying and broken. YOU
trample down the long grass TO get up to Il,
and look through the rusty grating. Inside
there is a plain marble slab, covered with
dust and discolored with mildew. On it you
may read the carved inscription that time and
exposure will soon make illegible,--Albany

HsrnDssld Railroad.

The washington, tPa.) papers bring us exciting
accounts of the "wars'' of the Corkonian aud
Fardowner men, and give detailed accounts of
The performance of the military, aud the brutality
Of the Irish. These outbreaks among men from
common county are certainly most inexplicable.
On. would think that common misfortune, which
had force them to abandon their fatherland and
seek new home, far from kindred and friends,
would be sufficient to make them forget old ieal-
ou.ies and look with the eye of kindness and fra
ternal feeling upon their partners in misfortune and
exile. But it is not SO, and we have often to OBJ
serve the reverse and witness the disgraceful olt
breaks, which so often disturb the harmonious pro-
erzss of our public works. Still It usually hap
pens that such occurrences are exaggerated, and
their importance over estimated. We learn that
the difficulties on the Hempfeld constitute no eS-
ception 10 this remark, but that on the contrary
they were comparatively trivinl, and nothing like
as general or extensive as understood.

-,rTour neighbor of the Times and Gazette was
out on Friday in violent and most unjustiiable
attack upon this paper, for no other reason Daring
old accounis) than because his and our Juniors
notions as to the method OF the removal Of Wheel
ing Hill are somewhat at variance. We had not
gwen the subject moments attention, and did noI
even read the articles ofthe Times having more rea-
dable matters TO occupy our time, and have said
nothing on the subject; yet the Times breaks forth
on the course Of our paper in general, and patio
ulnrIy with reference to the proposition to allow
the Central Ohio Railroad TO below the city.
Now we would like to know of the Times, when
and where did the Intelligencer ever utter word
on this question: Give US day and date, for we
have been unable to find word in our paper on
tbs issue, and certainly have written nothing on
this subject. This only shows how hard-pIesSed
the Times Is for material TO make capital against
us, and how utterly disregsrdful it is as to what
me ms it employs 10 injure US in this community.
Well, if he is satisfied with such efforts, we have
no objection TO make. We have heard the "lion
1oar'' before, and have survived; we have had its
faugs thrown at US before, and have found them
powerless TO nure US, and, like the vpers, ofien-
est finding their resting place in It's own flesh, and
we have therefore, from the Times, nothing to ask,
nothing to expect and receive. except continued
misrepresentation and detraction as heretofore.-
We have not time or inclination TO show the points
Of its article, well satisfied that such course
would not even interest our r,aders. So we shall
Ieav. him to his studies and his pleasures, if he
can find enjoyment in Misrepresentation, and re-
spending only to his questions, pass to more i'm
po5iaut matten. @
The Times asks. ''whnt does the Intelligencer

question, we answer that we do not know when
the "cold palsy period existed here but prima fa-
Gle, we are opposed to the "cold palsy" and go
against that period at least that is our decided i'm
preston. As to the time "when a stranger was
regarded as a nuisance,'' we are equally in the
lark, not being fully read in the history Of those
lays. 10 however, the editor of the Times refers

OSE Man MURDERED, AND Two DANGEROUSLY
WouNDED-THE MURDERER EsoAPED.-Last even
ing, about hall past eight clock, brutal murder
was committed at "Spring- heel row." on the Lee
wee between Vine and Walnut. 1t seems that for
some time there has been q difficulty between the
wives of Joseph Cam aud John flanagan, living
at The above location, which has often led 10 quar-
rels between the husbands. Last evening while
Thomas Smith, James Freely, and VIM. Dickson
were Standing on the pavement, Hannegan rushed
out of his house, shouting d-n Cana, aud with an
axe pitched into the three men standing on the
pavement, striking at their heads, and cutting
them all down.
Freely had two cuts in his head, and died in an
hour OF two. Smith had deep cut in the head,
considered dangerous but was alive at IL O'Clock
last night. Dickson resided in Covington, where
he was Immediately carried. He was badly wVun-
ded, and it was doubtful about his living through
tue night. Hannegan Immediately fled. The wo-
men rushed out ofthe house, and one pursued af-
Tel him until he turned upon her, when she re-
treated. He is supposed to have passed over the
river. Cam, whom it is thought he meant TO kill,
was in the house and escsped uniniured. The
officers Immediately started in pursuit Of Henne-
gan. All the men attacked have families.-Cin.
