I5We understand young man named
Green was killed on Indian creek. in this
county, last Thursday, in the following man.
ner. A horse race was about 10 come of,
when one of the parties concluded to pass
over the track with his horse before the
race, and induced young Green TO ride over
the track with him; when near the outcome
they rushed their horses considerably, and
Green's horse fell, breaking his own neck,
and injuring Green to such an extent as 10
cause his death in about an hour thereafter.
N3@The market for young mules in this
region is very much depressed-but $50
to $45 for the best sucking mules is offered,
and no very anxious buyers apparently in
the trade. Last season prices ranged from
$40 10 $75.

Pork and Lard Moving

The St. Louis Intelligencer of the Both
says: II would seem that the recent excite
ment in relation to pork and lard was attcn-
ded with some decided results in the East.
The telegraph Informs us that 70CO bbls
mess pork were sold in Baltimore on the
25th, at $l4 per Dbl, and 1000 bbls and
tierces lard at lie. On the same day 1000
bbls lard sold in Cincinnati at lOc. At
Louisville 1000 bbls pork at $l3 so; 500
tierces lard at l0c, and 6,0OO sugar cured
hams at lOc. Here operations were light
on the 25'h; sale of 1000 bhl> pork report
ed on private terms, and 300 bbls and tier
ces lard at l04c.
Lard we believe, is destined 10 reach a
very high figure in all the markets of the
country. The last advices from Havana
quote sales as high as Is and zoe per ID.

The Bombardment of Greytown.

Greytown is not British possession; If
il had been, measures would have been Ia
ken to repel so wanton and barbarious an
attack; hut we have at this time no further
interest in the place than that which results
from the commercial undertakings in which
British subjects may be engaged there. Il
is impossible, however, TO lose sight Of the
fact, which stands recorded in solemn treaty,
that Great Britain waived and relnqushed
her right 10 the protectorate of the Mosqul-
to coast and of Greytown, its principal tra-
ding station, on the express stipulation with
the United States that they would in con-
junction with ourselves guarantee the neu-
trality and security Of the passage"
The object of that treaty was to promote
"the construction of the communication be-
tween the two oceans for the benefit Of
mankind, on equal terms to all, and for the
protection Of the same" 1t is certainly a
most extraordinary violation of the spirit oI
that treaty, that an American ship of war
should have presumed, in defence of al
best very doubtful cause, TO attack snd
destroy the principal commercial station sit
uoted on this very line of communication
which the American Government is ex,
pressly bound 10 maintain and project
The act of Captain Hollins speaks for it

shot in IFS defence, not a man was killed or
wounded in the attack, and the enterprise
was one of mere destruction. The Ameri-
can papers from which we have extracted
these details, record them with the strong
est expressions o. shame and regret, and
we cannot doubt that the public opinion Of
the enlightened classes in the United
States will condemn these proceedings az
strongly as the judgment of every other part
Of the world.
There is in this case no war and no prov.
ocatun to account for or TO palliate oh
measure. Far from being at war will the
States Of Central America. the GCvernmen:
Of the United States has always affected %
regard them with peculiar interest; and t.
first proof given of this interest is an act c.
violence which would have disgraccd bu-
cancer.
Indeed, considering Tie species fprotec-
ton established by the treaty Of 1850. and
the engagements contracted by the United
States toward this country and the whole
world. for the security Of the passage, Ills
outrage of Captain Hollins is contempt of
that authority of his own government, and a
gross breach of faith to every nation which
may have mercantile transactions carried OF
across the Isthmus of Nicaragua.
