 And whereas, said undertaking is contrary to the spirit and express stipulatons of treaties be- tween the United States and Spain, derogatoay to the character of this nation, and in violation of the obvious duties and obligations of faithful and patriotic citizens:
 And whereas, 1t is the duty of the constituted authorities of the United States to hold and maintain the control of the great question of peace or war; and not suffer the same to be lawlessly implicated under any pretepce what ever:
 And whereas, to that end, all private enter prlses of hostile character within the United States against any foreign power with which the United States are at peace are forbidden. and declared to be high misdemeanor by an express act of Congress-:
 Now, therefore, in virtue of the authority vested by the constitution in the President of the United States, do issue this proclamation to warn all persons that the general government claims it as right and duty to interpose for the honor of its flag the rights of citizens. the na oiohdl ooCuilot anu tHe pIeSeTVdllOu OI the pubic tranquility, from Whatever quarter menaced; and 1t will not fail to prosecute with due ener- gy all those who, unmindful of their own and then country's fame, presume thus to disregard the laws of the land and our treaty obligations. l earnestly exhort all good citizens to dis countenance and prevent any movement in con- tllct with law and national faith; especially charging the several district attorneys, collectors, and other officers of the United States civil or military, having lawful power in the premises, to exert the same for the purpose of maintain ing the authority and preserving the peace of the United States

How BURNS WAS TRACKED.-The Bosto

How BURNS WAS TRACKED.-The Boston papers say:
 Soon after Burns arrival in Boston, as it now appears, he wrote letter to his brother in AL exandria, who is also slave of Mr. Suttle, stat ing that he was at work with Coffin Pitts, in Brattle street, cleaning old clothes. This let ter he dated in Boston, but sent it to Canada, where it was postmarked and sent according to the superscription, to Burns brother in Alex andria. As is the custom at the South, when letters are received directed to slaves, they are delivered to the owner of such slaves, who opens them and examines their contents. This appears to have been the case with Burns let ter, and by his own hand his place of retreat was discovered by his master.

Married-At New Warsaw, on the morn ing of 17th of May, 1854, by James G. Cav esq, General THOMAS A. WINSTON, late of Lagrange, Tenn, to Miss ANN MAR1AH JOHN. SON, of Monroe county, Ark.
 As the present, may the reign of Hymen be ever happy. May her golden tiara ever spar kle as brilliantly to them. May her scales of bliss ever remain as we'll equipoised; so that when the autumn of life shall come the wore tender threads of conjugal affection, may be, il possible, more strongly interwoven.
 Oh! happy pair, to every blessing born!
 For you may lites calm stream unrutfled run; For you its roses bloom without thorn,
 And bright as morning shine its evening

DEc1DBbLY CooL.-Parks, who was latey convincted of murder at Akron, Ohio, takes things very coolly. The other day the servant girl brought him his supper-he took exception to some part it, and told her if she did not serve him better food next time she should not have free tcket to see him hanged. That fellow will not mind hanging at all, when he gets little accustomed to it.

CONC AHEAD.-Mr Norris {" six day stea- mer," which is to make the passage from the United States Ito England in less than week, IS likely to meet with rival on the other side of the Atlantic. Engines of three thousand horse power are now being manufactured at Birmingham, for new paddle and screw iron steamer of twenty-three thousand tons, in course of construction by the Eastern Steam Navigation company, which is expected to be capable of performing tue passage to India in thirty days. When the Norris steamer is finish ed, and the British steamer is ready, and when they make these wonderfully short passages we will be able to go from Philadelphia to Cal cutta in about the same time that was spent twenty years ago in the passage from this city to Liverpool We live in fast age

 MT. ED1ToR-Dear Sir:-It becomes my painful duty to announce the death of sister ELIZABETH ANN JONES, wife of Green B. Jones and daugter of Alexander and Ann Henderson, who emigrated from Missouri to Lawrence county, Ark, about thirty years ago. where she was born and raised
 MT. Jones and his wife had only lived to enjoy life, after their marriage, three years and five months, when she was called away to the home of the blessed. l visited the family ot Mir. Jones last winter, at which time sister Jones did not feel satisfied that the Lord had pardoned her sins, but during her illness which was about six weeks, she received an undoubt- ed evidence of her acceptance with God and exhorted her husband and friends to meet hel ln Heaven, and seemed to labor to convince them all that she was not deceived or out o1 her senses. She had not joined the church but wished to doso, she was waiting the decision of her husband in the matter
 Just before she expired she called her hus- band and weeping sister, and many other friends to her bed side, and bid them all farewell, witt a bright hope to meet them where loved ones never part; and died in great peace at her re- sdence in Smithville, Ark, in the 25th year O. her age, on the 1st day of June 1854. Many of brother Jones' friends were sent for and were there to sympathise with him. Also the Ma sons of Powhatan were there and carried the remains of sister Jones, followed by the Sons of Temperance, of Smithvile division, anC many others all in procession to the church where funeral sermon was preached to large congregation by the writer from Deu., 12 ch and 13 " But go thou thy way till the end be, for thou shall rest and stand in thy lot al the end of the days.' The services closed il the church, the body was carried to the grave and after a very solemn service singing anc prayer the body of sister Jones was deposited to slumber until awakened by the trump of God

"YoUR 'old Kentucky home! you poor soul you," said Mrs. Burlington, as she thrust her night-cap out of the window away almost into the midnight to catch the notes of the songs an individual was singing in dismal voice, near her dwelling. "I Iwish to my heart you was there, where your friends could take keer of you and do for you. It is terrible thing to be in distress away off among stran- gers, particularly where you aint acquainted with any of lem; but don't think it looks we'll for man to wake up whole neighborhood at midnight with his sorrows" She saw him dis appear moment afterwards in shop with a red curtain opposite, and, with the remark that she guessed the poor creatur' had gone in to get something to "invarigote his cistern'' with, she shut down the window, and in five minutes by the wooden mantel clock that ticked sleepy in her chambershe had forgotten all about the Ken lucky home.-Boston Post
