pose of running steamers on the west coast to

The advices from Guatemala are to the 9th of
May. General Cabanas had refused to ratify the
convention entered into by General Carrara with
the Honduras authorities, and the questions be-
tween the two governments had relapsed into
their former irritated state. The official paper of
Guatemala expresses itself with much bitterness
against the government of Honduras, but in such
manner as leads to the supposition that Guatema-
la will not take the initiative in open hostlities
The Costa Rica papers think that Honduras has
not shown true spirit of Cancellation in the
matter, as she did not follow the example of Qua
temala and decrease her forces on the prospect of
an arrangement.--.N o. Picayune.

a great pity that President Pierce could not be

EMIGRATION TO NEBRAsKA.-A letter in the
New York Daily Times, from its regular st. Louis
correspondent, confirms the statements previously
made with reference to the emigrating squatters
to Nebraska, and gives as authority for it Colonel
A. J. Vaughan, the Indian agent for the tribes
westward from the country of the Omahas to the
Rocky Mountains That gentleman says that a
large number of persons, many of them with fan-
lies, are removing into the Indian country from
the northern and northwestern portions of the
State of Missouri. The letter in question Says
'Col. Benton, in one of his late letters, main
tains that such settlements legal, and urges
our poor and industrious citizens to avail them
selves ofthe opportunity to better their fortunes
by securing permanent and fertile homes for their
rising families. Senator Atchison, on the other
hand, denies that such settlements can be legally
made, and warns the people that attempts to
make them will be checked, if need be, by the in
PREVENTION Of military force"
1t seems, therefore, that there is no doubt of
this movement having been stimulated by the adj
vice of Senator Benton. If it should prevail to
any considerable extent, it will be difficult and
dangerous undertaking for the United States mill
tary forces to attempt forcible removal of the
settlers-.No1fh american ofyesterday.

The MERCY OF Con IN IcE.-A writer in the
Philadelphia Register is eloquent in the praise of
ice. Physicians, we believe, will attest that the
article will bring relief to the diseased stomach
when nothing else The writer referred to
says:
SIN the langour and exhaustion of recent i'll
ness my mind dwelt much ON the mercy of God in
ice. AS it quenched my painting thirst, or as it
cooled my burning brow, came to the conclusion
that, to the sick, it was the queen of comforts
rejoiced that had outlived the ancient prejudice
against it's use in sickness. l wished that could
write psalm like David's in its praise. And
thanked the holy children that in their Benedicite,
onsnia opera Domini, they had remembered ice:
% ye ice and snow, bless We the Lord; praise
Him, and magnify Him forever!' then remem-
bered that, to the poor sick, this great comfort
was a luxury-rather impossibility. And it
then occurred to me that, if l were rich, would
found in one of great cities an ice-house for
the poor sick. As am not, and never expect to
be, the next thing is to suggest it to those who
are. And, if they have felt, Us | have, the mercy
Of God in ice, they will hasten to commemorate
their gratitude in providing for these-his breth-
rem: And whatsoever shall give to drink unto one
Of these little ones cup Of cold water only, in
the name of disciple, verify / say unto you he
shall in no wise lose his reward. T"

The reporter of a morning paper relates curl
Gus accident which befcl him during his explora-
tons at the Crystal Palace SIN the United States
Department. he says, sue fell upon a huge glass
case, filled with ladies' dresses, mounted on
stands" Having mentioned his fall upon them,
he very naively says, that the whole lot was ssur
mounted by All enormous stuffed white bear, !" and
further pays himself tho following compliment:
"What 50 rough animal had to do with these
delicate fabrics, may be mystery to many, but
as we observed that nearly all the dresses were
evening ones, and cut very low, the bear, after
all may not have been an inappropriate emblem''

The WEATHER AND THE RoPs.--Yesterday
our city and vicinity was again greeted with a
succession of most refreshing showers, reducing
the atmosphere to delightful temperature, and
clothing all nature in holiday attire The crops
Of every description in this vicinity appear to be in
most hourishing condition, having nearly or
quite recovered the i'll effects of the late drought
Our exchanges, in nearly every direction, speak
in hopeful terms of the crops, occasioned by the
reception of recent fine showers. There is no
doubt, however, but in some places in this and ad-
joining States the dry season has very seriously
affected the crops-ndeed to SO great an extent as
to oblige many farmers to become purchasers of
breadstuffs instead of sellers. The timely rains
now acknowledged will doubtless avert, in a great
degree, the widespread destruction that was SO
imminenty threatened; for which dcvout thanks
giving to an ovcrruling Providence should not be
withheld. Georgian.

the Gar had given orders for his troops to move

GAS the case stands, the public sense of ma
tional honor, deeply pledged for the preservation
of Turkey, puts hesitation out of the question
The Porte refused Prince Menschikotfs demands
confessedly and VIGOROUSLY by the advice of Lord
Stanford and M. dc la Cour, and in reliance on
the assurances of both that England and France
would never consent to any further elrroachments
of Russia-any national burglary-on either side
of the Danube. That encroachment is now about
to be made. Will it be repealed and punished -
The Paris press speaks more pointedly, and
the facts that the French journals say only what
the government permits them to say and that
nearly all of them speak in almost the same Ian
guage, lead to the inference that the Minister of
Foreign Affairs has given the cue. They all
maintain that tho passage of the Pruth by the
Russians is violation Of treaties. The Steele

considerable impression in Paris

was opened upon the town with our ordnance,
which was kept up until Colonel Walker landed
with thirty men, when the fight became general.
From the time oflanding until the close of the

seven killed, and several wounded. Our men did
not SO much as receive wound, except from the
cactus, while pursuing the enemy through the
