rHE- DAILY DISPATCH.
FeIDAY MORNING. APRIL IA issa.
RIGHTS OF NEUTRALS.

RIGHTS OE NEOl hAlsS.s,4..4
The washington correspondent of the New
York Herald, under date of April nth, says
that the announcement made by the Herald
as to the understanding arrived at between
Mr.. Buchanan and the British Government Is
fully confirmed by therecords ofthe State De
partment. The writer states that the Admin
istration prefer that the decision and conces'
sion Of the British Government should as.
sume the form of a proclamation rather than
treaty, on the ground that treaty might be
regarded as an admission that the principle:
contended for by the United States were moi
already part of the law OF nations. 1t will
he recollected that Mr.. Dean. in offering his
resolutions upon theright of search, expressed
his preference for q recognition of the Anne
ricsn principle by proclamation rather thAn
treaty. This seems to confirm the s'a'c
ment of the Herald's correspondents o"' ~ . :.
not to be supposed that any ooections Vi
form will interfere to prevent OF even ue."
the ACQUISITION of hegreat advantages winch
must f,ow TO the commercial interests Oh
America from the convention which Is SAID 70
have been made with Great Britain.
The Heraid's correspondent says, that in
addition to the understanding which MIR. Blu
ch.nan has succeededin accomplishing with
Eooland. similar understanding has beenar-
rived at with the government of France. IL
is stated that for some time the French Uo-
vernment endeavored to get Mr.. Mason to ac'
knowledge their right to seize American sea-
men if they should find them on board OF any
priyateer which might be fitted out under the
Russian flag, and trying them as pirates
This position, however, it is said, the Amerl-
can Minister would not consent to, on the
ground that our government was fully aoieto
punish its own citizens for any violation OF
our laws. The French Government, adds the
correspondent, have at length abandoned
this pretension, and consented to similar
arrangement to that which has been made
with England, viz the protection OF our nag
etc.
1t is of course impossible to know what de-
gree of confidence place in the statements
of Washington correspondents, but the an
nouncement in regard to an arrangement with
France, is strengthened by the fact, repeatedin
an editorial article the Herald that, in reply
to certain heterogeneous put to Lord John
Russell by Mr. Miner Gibson, upon the sub
ject of neutrality, in recent debate in the
House of Commons, Lord John said that her
Majesty's Cabinet had had the subject of neu-
trality with the United States, under conslde-
ration, but that he thought it inadvisable to
make any disclosures upon the subject with
out first consulting the French Governmen t,
which from its present alliance with England,
was equally interested
From this it is assumed that there would
be no difficulty in making the same arrange
ment with France as with England. A SINH
lar treaty may be undoubtedly made with the
Gear, and the carrying trade of the world be
thus secured to the United States.

BURNING IN EFFIGY.

This mode of giving vent to their bottled
wrath, by which the abolitionists and free
oilers have endeavored to avenge them
selves upon the patriotic Northern advocates
of the Nebraska BILL is so perfectly puerile
and impotent that it can have no other effect
than to make those who resort to it superla-
lively ridiculous. When real passions are
aroused, when mems natures are stirred to
their foundations by genuine feeling, when,
in short, they are not acting part and making
display of sensibibility for effect, they new
er relieve themselves by such innoxious de-
monstrations of hate as burning or hanging
an effigy. If there is something devilish in
the revenge and ferocity of the human heart
when it is thoroughly aroused, there is also a
Satanic sublimity in its rage which very eff
fectually excludes all idea of the ludicrOus or
contemplate. Men, thus converted for a
time into fiends, torture, hang and burn each
oher, each party willingly encountering the
risk of suffering in that way, provided it can
get similar chance at its opponents. But
when people hang or burn efigies, they mean
to.say that they would hang or burn in like
manner the objects of their hate, If they
dared. They have the ferocity of savages
without their courage. They are afraid, in
the first place. of the law, and, in the next
place, of any man who is not a man of straw
A single broad-shouldered laborer, with
cart-whip, could drive before him-like so
many frightened hounds-the largest crowd
that ever punished an enemy in effigy.
The Boston Courier, referring to the burn
ing in effigy of Douglas, and other Northern
Senators, for their support of the Nebraska
bill, remarks that no individual has ever teen
burnt in effigy in this country for any act that
he may have committed as a public man,
whose popularity has not been increased by
the operation. George Washington, Patrick
Henry, John Hancock, Thomas Jefferson.
James Madison and Andrew jackson were
burnt in efigy. That sort of illumination has
always acted as lanthorn to light hon.
est men to public honor, and to reveal the
faces of rogues and rufians to general con-
tempt.

THE BIG SANDY RAILROAD.

The Lexington Statesman says that Mr.
Apperson, President of the Big Sandy Rail
road has, within four days, obtained sub
scription of 100000 to the capital stock Of
that company.
Well done, Kentucky! But is itnot enough
to try the patience of Job, to quench the
hopes of the most sanguine Virginian that
ever lived, to see Virginia, deliberately turn
ing her back upon the most brilliant fortunes
ever offered to a Commonwealth,-nay, not
offered, but literally thrust upon her Whilst
other States are moving Heaven and earth,
to obtain an avenue to the rich treasures OF
the West; lavishing millions upon millions for
that end; constructing canals at an enormous
cost; building railroads over the most precip-
itous mountains and by the most circuitous
routes Virginia, which has in the Covington
and Ohio railroad the shortest and best route
to the West after contributing million OF
dollars to that noble work, refuses to go on
with it, and resolves to leave it, not half fin
ished, monument of fckleness and imbecil-
ity. In vain the railroads of the West, which
others are laboring so hard to reach come to
her very doors, and from Missouri to the Ohio,
from Memphis to the Big Sandy, beg her to
receive int her own bosom the treasures
with which they will soon be overfowing.-
She will have none of them. She permits
| them to form Northern connections and car
ry away from her a trade which would make
Virginia the first State, and her capital the

passionate devotion to Virginia as any man
living, we must confess that the defeat of the
CoVington and Ohio Railroad bill by the last

courage the malicious hopes of her enemies
than any event which has occurred in her his

CHARLESTON CoNvENTIoN-AH eyes are

its power to achieve grand results for the
Southern cause. The increased interest which
it has excited in the public mind is fact
of most happy augury. These regular annu.
al Conventions, if governed by practical
counsels, will finally secure the prosperity
and independence of the South. 1t must be
admitted that if the South is hard to wake

aroused, to put to sleep. Now she has got ON
the track of these annual Conventions, she
