An Ocean Race.

a d 5sss q IF b.
We learn from q gentleman lately arrived
from San Francisco that on their last trip from
that place to Panama, the steamers. Sonora and
Yankee Blade had very exciting race, which
the former won. i
1t seems there had been much dispute as to
the relative speed Of these two boats, and that
previous to the commencement Of the trip the
Captain Of the Yankee Blade bet about three
thousand dollars that he would beat the Sonora
two days between port and port. The outside
excitement, as soon as it was known that there
would be contest, was very great, and the bet
ting was exceedingly heavy. The Yankee Blade
started about an hour before the Sonora and
kept out of sight until within some four hun
dred miles Of Panama, when the Sonora sue
ceeded in oyerhauling and passing her adver-
sary
The Captain Of tho Sonora, having o good
knowledge of the coast, ran his boat inside Of
some islands-our informant did not learn their
names--thus shortening the distance a number
Of miles. The Blade attempted to follow the
Sonora through the same channel, but it is sup
posed that some accident must have occurred to
her, as the Sonora heard her firing guns, and
saw her send up rockets, and she had not ar
rived at Panama when the George Law and
United States left The Captain of the Sonora
exonerates himself from blame in the premises,
by stating that he supposed it was a ruse to de-
tain him, and also that it was impossible to
return, on account Of the dangerous character
of the channel he was in. The Sonora arrived
on the 18th, and on the 14th nothing had been
heard from the Yankee Blade The North Star
was awaiting her arrival.

RAILROAD DIFFICULTIES.

For months past we have heard various
rumors touching difficulties between the
South Side and Danyille Railroads. We have
not alluded to them, because we apprehend-
ed that a newspaper war might only exaspe-
rate parties and make settlement of trou-
bles little more difficult. The Examiner
some days since brought to the public notice
some facts which had come to the ears of its
Editor, which attached blame to the South
Side Road. The Petersburg and Lynchburg
papers, in reply, charge the entire catalogue
of obstacles to the Danville Railroad and
the Wing, upon the presumption that these
charges are true, censures this Road severe
ly. and reminds it of its obligations not only
to the public, but the people of this city, who
have been very liberal towards it.
There are always two sides to question
and we suppose we may very nationally con-
clude that this Railroad difficulty is, in this
respect, not singular. Though we are not in
formed Of the particulars, we learn that the
difficulties are two-fold, viz: the breaking
up of the through ticket and the interruption
Of the transportation Of freight at the juno
ton. The complaint among the merchants
Of this city has been universal, relative to the
delays and blunders in the transportation of
freight sent by them to pass along the Dan,
vile and South Side Railroads. Wherever
the evils are located, they ought to be cor
rected. This city has suffered severely from
them, and it has exhibited a patience quite
rare in these times OF competition
We trust, however, that the difficulties will
all be adjusted. They have been the theme
of several interviews of late between the off
GERS of the different Roads. Finally, we un.
derstand that note of settlement, drawn up
by Mr. MCDANIEL, the able President of the
Lynchburg and Tennessee Railroad, has been
accepted by the Danyille Railroad, and is
now submitted for the action Of the South
Side Railroad. We hope soon to hear of
their decision.

The New York Tribune relates the follow,
ing doubtful incident of the Greytown ex-
plot 49,, .s5s.
+ "While the Cyane was cannonading, note was
received by Capt. Hollins from the Captain Of the
British schooner Bermuda stating that he regretted
that he had not British vessel Of war there of The
size Of the Cysne-he would compel him to desist.
Cspt Hollins in reply to the note, resretted that
Capt Jolly had not too just such, % he believed
that the United States could ret possession of them
on the Same terms - they got the Cyane. There
was good deal OF anxious looking for the Rrjfish
mail steamer Dee then hourly expected. and ne.
marks were made thst when she arrived hostiIities
would immediately be suspended. just e the Town
waa TO be fred the expected mail steamer arrived.
but much TO the surprise OF all the Enslishmen The
work OF pillaeing and setting FIRE to the town vent
forward. When it was all over, the Briieh mail
steamer LEFT for some other port, having the Der.
muda IN tow"
II the British commander sent Capt. Hol-
Inns such message, the reply could not have
been more to the point. II win be recollect-
ed that the u s. ship Cyane was one of two
British vessels, THE other was the Leyant.1
which was taken by single American shin
in the late war.

The Lynchbarg vi,ginian notices the same
paragraph in the Dispatch. which called forth.
this comment IN the Republicans. The vir-
ginian claims it with some appearance Of
triumph, as proof of the correctness of its
argument, that the I4ynchburg and Alexandria.
Railroad would not carry produce from the
Virginia cities to Baltimore, unless they failed
to use proper indncements-liberal prices.
and facilities in their power-to retain it,.
The yirginian farther claims that the state
ment is an answer to many of the ingenious
arguments ofthe Dispatch against the Lynch
burg and Alexandria Railroad.
The position ofthe Dispatch has been this !:
That the State ought, in self Defence to per-
feet its lines of Improvement from Norfolk.
Petersburg and Richmond wastwsrdly to the
Ohio, before she allowed them to be crossed,
and before she contributed any money to
build roads across them. Lynchburg, the
Dispatch thought, was in too great hurry to
interrupt that plan of operations and run off
ENTHUSIASTICALLY. That these cross routes
would come ultimately. the Dispatch always
felt satisfied. But Lynchburg, and those who
cooperate with her, have rather precipitated
events The thing having been done, GER.
tainly we are not the persons to cry over it !;
and this city is certainly going to do the best
she cam to avoid any injury which might re-
suit to her from want of energy.
1t has always been the opinion of the Dis
patch, that Railroads would be made just
wherever the public convenience and the
| wants of commerce required them, and that
all the efforts of States to restrict the routes
to make them all run particular direction

go North or South when he would 60 West
would prove idle and Intellectual The at
tempt in Virginia has failed, and there are at

will be made, however, we believe without
State aid, and we further believe they viii do
no harm to any of the States interests. II

SAN JUAN DE NICARAGUA.

The New York Herald givesa sketch OF
San Juan, which, since the acquisition Of Cal.
ifornia. assumed importance as the only pos.
sible Atlantic terminus Of the projected Ship
Canal through Nicaragua. 1t had been oc-
cupied by the people Of Nicaragua for nearly
300 years when Il was seized by an English
force in January, 1919, under the pretext that
II belonged to the fictitious King Of Mosquito.
over whom England professed to exercise .
protectorate, her real object however being
to seize the commanding point on what was
then supposed to be the only practicableroute
of inter oceanic communication. The Eng
fish organized San Juan under the name Of
Greytown, and the sole power was vested in
British Consul Generalin Mesquite, though
it was placed nominally under the authority
Of the Mosquito King. The United States
interposed on behalf Of Nicaragua. and the
opening of transit through the country
caused large emigration of Americans to
San Juan. The Clayton and Bulwer treaty
was afterwards negotiated which had not the
effect, as anticipated, Of causing England TO
relipquish her pretensions. She still mar
tanned her protectorate, but surrendered Inc
government of the town to a council, which
held a convention and formed constitution
which was sanctioned by the Mosquito King
and the British agents. The American pop
ulation continued to increase, until they be-
come strong enough, in 1852, to elect an Anne
rican Mayor and Council, and formed new
constitution, in which but slight allusion was
made to the King of Mosquito, and there was
no recognition at all Of English authority.
In 1858, the British government submitted
TO the American government project tor
organizing San Juan, as a free port, after the
manner of some of the Germanic cities. The
Herald maintains that it as such, in point OF
fact, at this time, and is an American town
We do not understand, however, that the
question has ever been settled between Great
Britain and the United States, in which the
former maintained and the latter denied the
Mosquito sovereignty, and the validity of the
English protectorate.
The Philadelphia Bulletin thinks it more
than probable that our government, in giving
the instructions under which Capt. Hollins
has acted, had in view the bringing of the
much vexed Protectorate question to final
settlement 1t is also to be borne in mind,
says the Bulletin, in estimating the amount
of courage or determination evinced by the
deed. that there was every reason to expect
that Capt. Hollins would find British naval
force at San Juan, perhaps greater than bis
own, and that the inhabitants would claim
and receive the protection of the British
Commander. We have no doubt but that
Capt Hollins would have proceeded just as
promptly and fearlessly to carry out his or
ders, in presence of British frigate, as he
