New ORLEANS, March. l5-The difficulty be-
tween the citizens Of San Juan or Greytown, and
the Vanderbilt Nicaragua Transit Company, is
becoming quite serious. The depot of the Tran
sit Company is located on a point across the
river from Greytown, and at the depot the Com.
has stores, with supplies of all description, which
are furnished to passengers going either way,
thus completely monopolizing this branch of
trade, and cutting off the citizens of the town
from all participation in its benefits. Numer-
GUS complaints have been made, which were
unheeded, and the citizens becoming exaspera-
ted threatened that unless the depot was remov-
ed to Georgetown, open warfare would be re-
sorted to, to check the monopoly; for which pur
pose cannon and ammunition had been procured
with the determination to tear it down. Mr..
Baldwin, the agent of the Company, had been
arrested and imprisoned, on the charge of using
threatening language, but was subsequently re-
leased. On the 8th inst, according to private
letters received, the inhabitants of Greytown
sent body of armed men instructed to destroy
or remove the depot After destroying consd-
cradle property, they took down and insulted
the American flag, and gave notice that they
would demolish the whole building on the 10th,
if it was not removed within the limits of the
town. Great excitement prevailed, and the
Transit Company has refused all intercourse
with the town, and declared its determination to
carry none of its citizens to New York,

QUEEN VICTORIA-Miss Bremen, in a late
letter to "Sharpe's London Magazine Says
Under Qneen Victoria and Prince Albert is
Windsor less than ever home of pomp and fes
tivity? mol but more and more is it the home
of human virtues, both pnblic and private
People do not talk of the pleasures of the Roy
al pair, but they speak of their excellent schools
for poor children, and their excellent institu.

ed, where happy human beings live and chill
dren play.
There are countenances, which we may see
for whole days, and yet not understand until
one has seen a tear in the eve. Other counten-
naces there are,which are unexplained enigmas,
until smile, or a good hearty fit of laughter
lights them up. And thus was it, when Queen
Victoria, laughing and nodding to me, few past
me light and airy as fairy Queen. | at once
understood the magic power Of her person; for,
like sunlight breaking through the cloud, like a
flower bursting from its bud, was the laughter
in the Queens cOuntcnance. There was in it a
high degree of natural life, freshness, vivacity,
good humor, and good deal Of peculiar charac-
ter. After this, can easily comprehend what
a noble lady, who often sees the Queen, said on
the occasion, in reply to my remark, "What a
little Queen YOU havel" "Yes, she is a little
Queen, but on large scalel She seems to me
always like human being such as God made
her, while the greater number of human beings
seem to be such as God did not make theml"
A human being such as God made her, natu
raj, true in everything! What beautiful idea
And the "greater number of human beings
such as God did not make them"-how true!
Alas! educators, establishment for education

not be that which God created US, and that i
shall sometimes require half life, nay, that We
shall not succeed sometimes through the whole
Of life in discovering what the Creator really in
tended uS to be.
It's easy to see what power of facination q
Queen, perfectly natural in manner, and posses
sing so much that is naturally noble and good in
character, may exercise over the human mind
in this artificial world.

watches, recently rescued from the wreck of
the old steamer Tennessee, which was sunk
nearly thirty years ago. They were found on
her deck under nearly fifteen feet water, where
they had remained all that long time with an
amount of water and dirt flowing over them
sufficient to have made another State. The

COUNTRY PAPERs.-We like country newspa
pers. With few exceptions they are capital
vehicles of thought, freshness, originality and
tact characterize many of their editorials
They are purged from the guilt of great cites
They are sent from the midst of NATURES most
beautiful things birds, trees and flowers
woods, valleys, and the broad, free blue heaven
Those who occupy the seat editorial, though
they may be learned in the classics, are not
worldly in the common sense of the word
They go not YEARLY to the sanctum day after
day, with brains stepped in wine, and aching
with the "reminiscences of gaSlight and crowded
fetes. They are not obliged to fill their col
umns with long descriptions of whirling dan
GERS and hackneyed stars. They have few
sickening details of rows and murders Tn.
tainted by city vices, they take high and pure
views of life. Altogether, one feels to breathe
freer, and think better of his fellows after read
ing right smart country paper.
In their corners are many little effusions
of choice poetry. Often they are superior
in freshness and feeling to much that is lauded
by the city press. They bring with them rural
pictures of old farm-h houses halEhidden by the
foliage of summer
There, in some cherished corner, the bloom
ing country lass, like beautiful Wild flowers
in seclusion, pens her pretty thoughts and
sends them under some anonymous signature
to the village editor. He puzzles his brain
to think who it can be. Conjures before his
vision ell the Lauras and Marys who cast sly
glances at hin in meeting, or whisper to each
other as he passes, "thats the editor"
He little dreams it is the rosy maiden oi
whose substantial bread and butter he so often
partakes. He has sometimes caught sight Of
her through the steam of the--shades Of
distinguished authorS!-the wash-tub-but never
thought she gave time to the musesAIt is so,
nevertheless. He is favored some day by the
proud old farmer-father, or devoted mother
with glance into that favorite study. OF
course Matte knows nothing about it. What a
charming wife she would make! Good poetry
and good cooking!
Hereafter commend to us the country paper.
Sparks from the thought-anvil fly thick and fast;
joyous and bright they are-the editor is mar
ried! The country paperis more of a gem than
ever; and the reason is because woman, oh!
man is double you."

From the Tennessee ORGAN.

MODERATION AND FAIR PLAY.-Mr. Editor:
Many of your readers, of all religious persua
SONS and political parties have their heart, and
val, and firm resolve set against the liquor traf
nc in Tennessee. They are men of reflection
and OF steady purpose-men whose influence is
feit at the approaching election. But they are
men of forecast, and DESIRE if possible, to avoid
ail collision with public men or party measures.
They desire to bring the question of reform, or
prohibition of the liquor traffic, before the pub
lic mind on its own merits, apart from party
kiolitics.
But how can this be done? We cannot ask
YHftizans, who row have the field, to step aside
for the time and give up the field, to US. This
is asking rather too much. Nor can we ask
county candidates appointed by the respective
political parties, to advocate our cause, unless
they approve of the measure. Nor yet can we
safely form a third party. Very many of our
staunch friends are so mixed up with party poll
tics that they cannot disengage themselves
Then what can be done to bind US together,an
to give us our full strength at the polls, and in
the Legislature. There is but one thing that
can be done-that may be done, and if agreed
on in time, it will effectually bring out the en-
tire strength of the Temperance cause in the
State-it is simply this:
Let the Judges of the elections open in the
poll-book of each county two columns, in which
every voter may express his will for or againstthe
tippling law. And let the friends of the cause
in the respective counties require the candi-
dates for office to agree to carry out the will of
the majority. Less than this will not meet the
emergency. More than this ought not to be in
sisted on. This will leave the respective canai-
date at liberty to be silent, or to discuss the great
question, as he may feel inclined, or as his par
ty may direct; and it will open the way for the
friends of the cause to approach the people,
without encroaching on the ground claimed by
partizans. Having disembarrassed the subject,
let the friends of the cause take the stump-the
feld-the forum, and the pulpit, and awaken
the slumbering people to the true grandeur of
the great reform. PR.
