you were dcputcd to lay before me, containing the
particulars of the gross outrage recently committed
by the Captain of the Port at the Chincha Islands
upon yourselves and other citizens of the United
States, on the 18th of this month,
The mere perusal of your statement is sufficient to
excite the highest indignation, and il would he IA
matter of surprise to me, considering the unpro-
vokcd and aggravating nature of the assault, and
the wounds inflicted by the soldicry, that you did
not punish the offender the spot, we've | not
of the proverbia love of order and respect for
the law which So distinguish our nation.
But, gentlemen, you thought and acted upon that
trying occasion with moderation aud prudence in
the highest degree commcndablc. You pursued the
proper course and have demanded satisfaction
through the proper and legal channel, and in doing
SO, you will not be disappointed, Tor the govern
ment of the United States has never yet permitted,
and never will permit, the persons or the rights OF
its citizens to be outraged with IMMUNITY.

government, and it has promised that the Captain of
the Port shall be forthwith removed from tue

to answer for his criminal conduct. have eNacted

In returning to your vessels therefore, have t.

and unjnsthable conduct Of the Captain OF ths

Trouble at the Guamo Islands.

y serious affair appears to have occurred
at the Chincha Islands. Ii was substantially
as follows. according to the statements of the
American Captains over their own signatures
Some of the men had killed Pelican and
were arrested and confined in irons Capt
McCcrrcn, sent his first officer to the guard
ship and rendered the fine which the Com
mandunte said was due for the offence, but he
would not release the men. The Captain
then in person demanded his men, but was
sent under II guard back to his ship. Several
ship masters then came on board and re
qucsted II conference ON the treatment of
American seamcn at the Chncha Isles but
they were driven off violently by his orders.
his soldiers beating them and wounding them
with their bayonets. Thirty six captains
signed IL declaration Of the case, and made
representation Of it by committee to Hon.
D. Randolph Clay, |. :. Minister at Lima
who rs his letter shows. took active measures
to obtain redress. 1t is said that the British
ADMIRAL on the station commended in high
terms the forbcarancc of the Americans, vino
as he told the commlndante, were strong
enough to have punished his conduct to any
extent, if they had pleased. The American
captains addressed IL notc of thanks to Adj
miral Moscly for his kind assistance. 1t is
very certain that the great freedom taken for
II few years past, by some of the iunctionarics
Of the governments on the west side of South
America, with the persons Of Americans
acting in public or private capacity, has
reached II pretty high point. 1t is quite time
that it should be brought down Il little by
prompt, and if need be, forcblc meas urcs Oh
the part Of our government.

The Old Green Lane.
ar ELIZA CooE

az ELIZA cooL
Twas the merry summer time
That garlands hills and dales,
And the south wind rung a fairy chime
Upon the foxglove bells;
The cuckoo stood on the lady birch,
To bid her last good bye
The lark sprang over the village church,
And whistled in the sky;
And We had come from the harvest sheaves,
A blithe and tawny train.
And tracked our path with poppy leaves,
Along the old green lane.
Twas a pleasant way on a summer day,
And we were a happy set,
As we idly bent where the streamlet went,
To get our fingers wet;
With the dog rose here and the orchis there,
And the woodbine twining through.
With the broad trees meeting every where,
And the grass still damp with dew;
All! we all forgot, in that blissful spot,
The names of care and pain,
As we lay on the bank by the shepherds cot,
To rest in the old green lane.
Oh, days gone by! I can but sigh
AS | think of that rich hour,
When my breast in its glee but seemed to be
Another woodsfde flower;
For though the trees be still as fair,
And the wild bloom still as gay,
Though the south wind sends as sweet an all,
And heaven as bright a day,
Yet the merry set are far and wide,
And we never shall meet again
We shall never ramble side by side,
Along that old green lane.

with regard to DR.. WIstar's Balsam Of Wild

have sold. since last October, eigh1y-two bottles
, at retail, and have heard from a great proportion
| of them, as producing the desired effect.
Several important cases in this vicinity, which
came under our personal knowledge, hare been
cured where other remedies have been tried for
years without effect.
In fact, we think it one Of the most invaluble
remedies for Consumption of the Lungs, and all
other complaints for WHICH it is recommended"
Dr.. William Y. Banks, of Xenia, Ohio, a highly
respectable Druggist in that delightful village in
| forms US that the sale of HIstar's BalsGm of Wild
Chcrru is unparaNcd. The demand for it is SC
eager, that he can scarcely keep himself supplied
with it.
DR.. Ritchey, of Franklin, Ia, who stands high
in his profession, in commentator of the "Genu-
inc Wistar's Balsam of Wild Cherry" says:
The effects of the Balsam are, in many cases,
strikingly beneficial. u 1t improves upon &C.
quaintance more than any Other Patent Medicine /
hare erer kno1rn. 81 Almost all others fail upon
trial, and not being able TO bear the test o~fexperi-
ence, soon sink into disuse. This, however, seems
to be the most highly valued by those who have
tested its virtue and experience It's healing etiica-
cy in their own cases.

and the trial off nearly every other remedy. 81
He says: After five years ~affliction, pain and

respectable physicians had proved unavailing, |
was soon restored TO entire health, by the bles-
