Correspondence OF the Baltimore SUM-

WASHINGTON August le, 1854.
The status the negro in the United States is
to be presented in q new aspect A fugitive
slave who had gone to a foreign country, upon
sustaining in that country what he conceived to
be a wrong from its Government, applied to the
o. S. Minister to that Government for protection
as citizen of the United States The decision
of our Minister was adverse to his right to claim
the Intervention sought.
The information received is not very explicit.
and different version denies the imputed
wrong and the refusal of protection: stating
that the Minister merely declined to give an
American passport to the negro, or to rise or
sanction consular passport given to him before.
This, no doubt, will by Northern Abolitionists
be turned into grave question; but the opinion
here decidedly inclines in favor Of the act of our
Minister. Mr.. Webster, while Secretary of State,
believe, refused passports to neg roes as citizens
of the United States, though they were born in
this country, and the naturalization laws are
not held to apply to them
The question, it is understood, will be pre-
sented to the Administration in the form of y
complaint against our Minister 1t is presumed
the Executive will maintain the doctrine that
the Federal Union is confederacy of whites,
and not q 6 mixed Republic
The Greytown or San Juan de Nicaragua
affair is bringing the Central American question
to a point. Negotiations have been carried on
for some time, between Mr.. Buchanan and the
British Government, in London, and the result
will probably be a new treaty, in which Eng
land will entirely back out from her absurd
stealing propensities in regard to the Mosquito
coast.
The upshot of the whole will be the speedy set
Element of the disputed territory, and the sub
stantial rebuilding Of Greytown by American
citizens, who will not only protect themselves,
but put down all other protectorates in that
quarter. @
Capt. Hollins has arrived herei in Washington,
and looks no worse for wear. Capt. jolly, of H.
B. NJ. ship Bermuda, is a jolly. though not a
rash youth of about 80 His commission, as
midshipman, understand, dates back to the
time of old Admiral Bambo, and he has held a
lieutenants commission for the last half century
He thus looks upon fogging as time -honored
practice, as applicable to the citizens Of Grey
town as to British tars. We are benighted some
say, to have abolished the custom in our navy !;
he may be hnaghted for enforcing it. x,

TouGn Doc SToRY.-A correspondent of the

A murderous assault was made on the person
of an unoifending German, named Ernest Kaiser,

Chasca for the purpose of looking at some tim
Der, and having been carried across the river
by friend. he started for Shakopee. MOI
knowing much about the country, he could not
find the road, and meeting three men, he in
quired OF them the way to this place. They
agreed to show him the road, and carried him
some distance up the river. His suspicious
being excited, he refused to go further, when he
was struck across the head with gun and felled
to the earth. He was then beaten with the gun
until he became senseless; then robbed of d gold
watch and thrown into the river
The water revived him. and when restored Ia
consciousness, he found one of his dogs holding
him by the bosom of his shirt, and endeavorine
to drag him ashore, By this assistance be
gained the land, when he was again seized BIZ
the miscreants and thrown into the river. His
dog again came to his assistance, and helped to
support him on the water. At this time the
steamer Globe came along, and the attention OF
the crew being attracted by the barking of a
small dog upon the shore, they found the man
nearly exhausted, but still held above the water
by his faithful dog his body and limbs covered
with bruises from the blows which the villains
inflicted upon him
Yesterday afternoon our citizens searched the
country in the vicinity of the place where the
act was committed, but no trace of the perpe
traitors OF the deed have been discovered
