Annexation al Honduras.

The government ol Honduras has sent
Gch Barrundia on mission to this govern
mcnt, charged with secret instructions for
entering into negotiations for the immediate
and absolute annexation to the United States
of the state Of which lac is representative.
The y. \. Herald remarks as follows on this
subject.
ale comes to make the voluntary offer
without money and without price, of an
other commonwealth, great in resources,
commanding in its commercial position, to
the magnificent constellation of our federal
Mon. The immediate and the ultimate
advantages suggested by the acceptance Of
this proposition, must be apparent at a
glance, To our intelligent rca,.ers. Let us
briefly illustrate the more prominent conse.
qucncos and bearings Of the annexation of
Honduras
The State or republic Of Honduras lies on
the south side Of the gulf of that name, with
the State of Nicaragua 10 the south and Qua
tcmala on the west. OF its superficial extent
we have 40 accurate data, 1t probably equal
IN size to the State Of Ohio, without includ.
ing the territory on the Atlantic coast occu.
pied by England rs II sort of mahogonv and
logwood cutting colony, and which, We pre-.
sumo, is not included in the project of senior
larnndia. 1t has a population of $50, OOO
and its exports in 1885 were, according to
McCullock $4,000.
From the extreme fertility orthc soil, and
its varied tropical productions, under our
government these exports might be readily
increased to eight or ten millions per annum,
to say nothing of the mineral riches Of the
country. With the acquisition of Honduras,
therefore, We should gain this amount OF
commerce, and the traffic in exchange for it.
We would also gain an important CONNER
cial and naval position in the Gulf, com.
handing the Caribbean sea and the western
outlet into it Of the Gulf of Mexico.
Young America is uppcr.most. She must
inoyitablyin the due course oftimc, absorb the
whole North American continent 1t is in
the natural course Of events and no power
ON cai tn canprcvcnt it, 1t needs no powder
lead, or blood, to bring about this result, il
things are allowed to take their natural chan
mel.

Gold Fields i'm South Africa,

News up TO the last of March has been
received concerning the gold discoveries in
South Africa. The papers from the colony
give the favorable and promising accou of
the discoveries that arc continual r-teiHg
made. Gold is said to he found over strip
of country 800 miles in length. Copper is
reported to be found in large quantities and
very pure.
We should judge from accounts given from
various parts of thu country, that there was
a fair prospect of another gold.dgging rcvo-
luton similar to that Of California and Aus
tralia.
The Cape Town Advertiser says: The
fact has been ascertancd that prolific gold
diggings have been discovered and by yes
terday's post some six or eight nuggets, one
weighing forty grains, have been received
here.
A letter in the Eastern Province Herald
says told seems to be found everywhere;
on the Smithiicld Dyke. What the end of
all this will he | cannot tell.

The pa,s;,gc Oi the Nebraska
Hill,

On Monday the Nebraska and Kansas hill,
with the Clayton amendment stricken out
passed the House 10y Il vote of ll3 tol0o.-
On Wednesday il passed the Senate as amen
dcd in the House. Thus, after months of
discussion and agitation in and out of Con
gress the famous bill, for the organization of
the Territory of Nebraska wants only the
signature of the President, which it will I'M
doubtcdly receive, to become the law of the
land.
Ii is to be deeply regretted that this measure
should have been made the prctcxt for re-
ncwcd and boistcrous agitation of the slave
ry question. Although there has been po-
litical Juror created among a portion Of the
people of the northern states, yet there has
boon class, properly termed the "tranquil
Masses that have not travelled out of their
accustomed course of sober action, and to
such as these whose firm and constant con.
duet, will ever carry power that no faction
can control, and who in the end will rule the
nation, our country must look for its truest
support.
That efforts will be made to keep up the
agitation, is evident from the fact that the
wing senators and representatives have re-
solved to issue an address Ia the free states,
on the subject 1t is evident from the very
face Of it that it will be done for political
purposes. Can it b. that they wish to re-
peal the act; that they arclahorinS to restore
quiet and peace? 1t is not possible. II is
altogether more probable that they desire to
create on the ruin Of the whig party, sec
tional party. In this they can but make a
most contemplate failure. We look for an.
other state of things from that which there
Iiottcrs would wish to accomplish. The &C.
quiescencc of the people will follow and har-
mony be once more restored to the country.
