ARRIVAL OF STEAMSHIP DANIEL WEBSTER

-
The steamship Daniel Webster, Capt. Patter-
son, arrived yesterday morning from San Juan
Mr.. Hart, the intelligent and obliging purser,
furnishes the following memoranda:
The Webster left San Juan at 10 o'clock on
the 10th, and has made another extraordinary
| short passage-the shortest on record--she ar
irving at the Balize in the unprecedented time
| of four days and ten hours from her anchorage
The New York steamship Star of the West sailed
shortly after, with half million of specie Not
the slightest difficulty occurred either by sick
ness or otherwise to detain the transit Of pas
sengers, who came across in 80 hours from ocean
to ocean. In fact, matters may be considered
permanently settled as regards the civil wars Of
that country. General Walker has quiet DOS.
| session of the country, and emigrants are
focking from California to Nicaragua in crowds:
one hundred and twenty came in the steamship
Sierra Nevada, and were landed at San Juan
del Sur; four hundred are expected by the
| steamer CorteZ, same destination. Nicaragua
| is healthy throughout, as may be seen by papers
published in that Republic. General Walker
and his men are very popular with all classes.
The Indians from all quarters are joining him,
| and rejoice at the success of his troops. Great
| improvements are being made at Granada under
directions of competent engineers The Old
Fort has been RACED, and useful buildings are
to be erected in its stead. Every exertion il
made to induce emigrants to turn their atten-
ton to the cultivation of lands that are inferior
to none, and, with the least labor, crops are
abundant after being properly cleared. Two
hundred and fifty acres are allowed to each in
dividual who will engage to settle permanently
for six months. Col, Kinney has just recovered
from slight attack of rheumatism-is in good
health and spirits--is progressing in agriculture
on Indian river, one of the tributaries of San
Juan. twenty-five men were sent on the 10th
to explore other parts of Contellas mines on the
| same river, which are said to equal those Of
California; officers of the Bristish vessels are
favorable to him. II. M. brig-of-war Arab

A most extraordinary instance of fox preser-

Reynard returned there after running wide
ring, but, finding his earth closed, took line
for the dining room window A visitor who
was watching the hunt found the turret, and
was puzzled to hear one or two of the hounds
bay up to the window, while the whole of the
field were digging furiously at drain outside
of the garden. She descended into that room,
and found Mrs. Phillips knitting before the fire.
On telling her how oddly the fox had been lost,

up on one of the shelves. 1t seems that he had

A TALK WITH THE INDIANs.-Extract from
a private letter, dated ABOVE Fort PIERRE,
November, 10, 1856: A few days ago,
thirty or forty Sioux Indians came to Fort
Pierre to pay visit to Gen. Harney. He
held council, and had Campbell, the inter-
prefer, to tell them that he wanted ten of
the principal men of each band of Sioux to come
and see him in one hundred days; and if they
listen to his words and do as he wants them to
do it will be for their good. He will make peace
with them, and if any of the bands don't come
at the above time, he will then know that they
wish to fight. He told them that it was imma-
terial to him, he had just as soon fight as have
peace; that he was sent by their Great Father
to fight them but since he had killed the Brules,
he had pity on them ALL
The Indians that come to see him, say they
don't wish to fight, but wish to live. He replied,
he did not desire to fight men that were unwill-
ing to fight. [St Louis Republican.

iMessrs. Coulter 8' Scooter: tits with un-
feigned regret that we obtrude ourselves upon
your time and attention to help US, if posi-.
lie, by Your judgment and advice, in this
o9. sad extremity. Since, through neglect,
our notable " Farmers Club" has failed to
have, for two or.tbree years, its annual meet.
'ings, we are forced, from dire necessity, to
call upon you for advice under the circum-
stances, as all our energy and skill have
been exhausted. We are the more reluctant to
trouble you, from the fact that we are com.
PEELED in SO doing, to expose ourselves, our
overseer, and our cotton.felds, or rather our
grass patches, to the unmerciful scrutiny and
relentless ridicule of those of our brother
farmers who have been more fortunate in
their engagement with the unconquerable
Is Gen. Greene" While trying to rescue
our corn from the dominion of the grass
and weeds, our cotton fields (although they
lave been plowcd three times and hoed as
often,) are now in deplorable condition.
Although the stand was good when we CON-
menced working it, there is now not more
than third Of it left, and that little is yel.
low, low, and blooming on the top; while
the grass is thick, tall and as green as grass
ever gets to be, and 1t raining. What
shall we do with it?-that is the question.
Please give US some plan whereby to save
it, for we believe in the multitude of eoun.
sellors there is safety" By so doing you
will much oblige your friend, and perhaps
many other subscribers.
Respectfully, &c. H. La.ss.
REMARKS Our friend I" Fl. L." or rather
his cotton, is in all unenviable fix, but he is
not by any means alone. We assure him
that in addition to whatever relief he may
get from our judgment and advice under the
circumstances, he has our warmest mot ex.
perimentaD sympa,by-but as sympathy will
not kill grass, we give him the following pre-.
.scription Take large sharp shovel-plow
and run it in the middle Of the rows, open.
ing as large furrow as possible; then run
large twister, sharp and long, with the bar
to the Cotton, and turn all the grass over
into the middle furrow, covering it as deep
as you can. Follow then and take all the
grass from the cotton with the hoes then
run small plow to replace the dirt round
the cotton, followed by another twister-fur-
row on the middles. This we think would
kill extraordinary grass. If this treatment
fails, either turn out the cotton, or turn IN
the COWS.

PRAYING FOR RAIN.

We believe that rain is Legitimate object
of prayer, Notwithstanding it requires little
philosophy, (book farming or knowledge of
geology, minerology and chemistry, to see
the necessity of it just at this time when
some think they have plenty. Though it
may be new idea to some to pray for a
drought, we hope all will understand the
propriety of so doing after reading the arti'
