Foreign Organizations.

The Northern papers eyince that the public
mind is greatly excited in that quarter on this
subject. Mr. Meagher is reported to have
uttered sentiment in a recent speech in Sa-
vannah equally creditable to his head and heart.
He is represented as saying that when an Irish
man comes to this country for the purpose OF
making il his home, he should forget the spot Of
his nativity. By this we understand Mr. NJ to
say what we entirely concur in--not that
foreigner should forget the home h,s chiidhood
or the graves Of his ancestors--thatthe moment
an emigrant lands upon our shores ne shoulu
consider himself an American. He finds himself
surrounded with privileges that no American
can experience in any other country. He is
protected by our laws, he is on terms Of perfect
equality with the best Of us, he has achieved q
triumphant escape from the thraldom which
! bound him to the earth in the place Of his ma
I fiyity and he should be contented
q If, when fleeing from pestilence, we seek a
retreat in the country, and some one so COM
niserates our condition as to offer us the hos
pitalities of his mansion, we should never dream
Of controlling his domestic arrangements, still
less of administering the Christening rod to his
children.
But to return to the noble, because true, SEN
timent Of Mr. Meagher How is the fact Do
foreigners when they come hither forget the
land Of their nativity Do they become, as they
ought to do, Americans, heart and soul? Some
do so unquestionably; but others act far other
wise. " & hear on all hands of military organi-
nations having no parallel in our midst--of Ger
man Yagers, Of Scotch Fusiliers, of French
Guards. Of Montgomery and Emmett Guards
etc. These things are decidedly improper and
impolitio. They originate doubtlessly in hearts
alive to the loneliness of an early home; bu
they are calculoted to engender Jealousy ant
national feeling antagonistic to that thorough
Americanism with which we hope to see every
foreigner imhued who seeks a shelter or a home
upon our shores. We should much prefer to Sc.
Frenchmen, Irishmen, Poles, Swiss, Italians
linked shoulder to shoulder with our American,
of native birth. Our cause-is it not com
mon one ?-can be maintained most effectually
By harmonious blending of those whose interests
are profoundly allied.

Loss OF PROPERTY on THE N fssIssIPPI. From
a communication recently submitted to the
House by Secretary Davis, the Washington Star
says it appears that the annual loss from steam
boat disasters on the Mississippi is earfuly large
During the year ending Oct. l, 1858, no less
than twenty -fve steamboats, were snagged,
which occasioned a destruction Of property to
the amount Of 81 $50 600 During the same
time, $3.50, 900 worth Of property was destroyed
by the sinking of hat-boats. No estimate is
given of the value of the steamboats, sunk, hut
the loss will not fall much short of $400, 900.
II is safe to assume that the annual loss of pro-
perty from steamboat disasters, on the Missis-
sippi and its tributaries, exceeds rather than
falls short Of three millions In the same com
mnnlcation, the Secretary furnishes the esti-
mates for improving the navigation Of several
western rivers,

A card appeared in this paper on the sth inst,
attacking the character of Mr.. Place. Inas-
much as it has created considerable surprise
that charges of such a nature, against citizen
of the integrity and high standing of that gen
tleman, should have been admitted into the
columns Of journal which could in no manner
endorse them, we deem4t proper to state, as an
act Of justice to Mr. Place and the proprietor of
the paper, that said card was inserted during
the absence of the latter, and that he afterwards
disapproved the publication

SPAIN AND THE UNITED STATES -lfadyid,
May l Ill am informed that the substance of
the reply to Mr.. soule's last note was, that the
Spanish Government consider Gen. Pezuela and
the Cuban authorities to have acted in n per-
fectlH@regular and legal manner; that, out of
consideration for the United Statesmen as an
acknowledgement of right--the fine of $4,000
has been remitted, but that the demands made
upon Spain by the American Minister here, are
destitute Of foundation and wholly inadmissible
30 categorical an answer ought to bring this
unpleasant affair to crisis. If there be
nothing less distinct and decided in the docu-
ment than what | have been told and hear re-
peated, it leaves the American Government
little choice but to declare war or abandon its
claims hear that a courier leaves the Ameri-
can embassy tonight with dispatches for Wash

NEWS OF IHE CIT Y.

UNCERTAINTY OF THE LAw.--We may at least
speak of the uncertainty of testimony which
took place before the Judge of the Third District
Court, on Tuesday last. .....~.
DR.. A. sued Mr.. B., before Justice Gaiennie,
for ss75 for medical attendance upon the family
of Mr.. B. Counsellor Coleman introduced two or
three witnesses, by which he sought to establish
that the Doctor attended Mr.. B. and his chill
dren during the Spring of 1853. Counsellor G
turned triumphantly to Counsellor McCarty, and
SAYS: "This is my case" When Counsellor
NJ, raising his time-honored 'spectacles, says
We will and can meet this case" He calls his
witnesses, and, to the amazement of all, proves
that DR.. A. rendered no such services, and the
witness was at the house every day, intimate
with the family, and, as they were not sick,
required no drugging from the worthy disciple
of Eseulapius; 50, Counsellor Macarty, with
| triumph in his eye, turns upon his young oppo-
neut and says: Iere, sir, is my ease!''
| While the law ers were in awful suspense,
and the parties looking daggers at each other,
happy thought struck His Honor, and he SAYS
This mystery must be unraveled; this contra
dictory evidence explained and truth discovered
Let the parties both be sworn" Defiance now
famed in the eye of Counsellor c., while the
smooth, time-honored brow of Counsellor NJ
was radiant with confidence, as the defendant
was asked: ''Did you ever employ DR. A.
as charged in the bill?" Answer: s'No
"Did he render any medical services to you or
your children'" Ono" DR.. is then called
'sWere you employed as charged by Mr.. B -
'sYes, sir Show long did you render ser
vice." Give weeks, and at the request and
employment Of the defendant"
The evidence is closed; the Judge listens tc
the fiery eloquence of Counsellor c., and to the
calm discussion of his opponent, and we left this
Court, while doubt and amazement seemed tt
have possession of the Court as he reflected upor
the glorious uncertainty of human testimony.

About y O'Clock yesterday, the steamer

miles below this city, burst both nr sc2
ers, making a complete wreck Of the bout
as far back as the wheeIhousc. There is
scarcely a piece Of the boilers TO be found.
We have seen several boats after
their boilers have exploded, but never
have we witnessed such a wreck Of a
steamer before. More than half the
lenght Of the boat, from the bow back, is
nothing but a mass Of fragments.
In the confusion yesterday, VIC were
unable 10 procure a list Of the unfortunate
suffers on board this illfated steamer.

clerk furnished us such a list Of the sur
%vivors, and The BILLED and wounded, as
