@&&9&A
4 long correspondence is published which
took place between signor Pancheno, the Span.
ish minister of foreign affairs, Mr.. Perry, oul
charge d'affaires at Madrid, Mr.. soule and Mr.
Marcy. The gist of it is, that signor Pacheno
proposed the appointment Of a mixed commits
sion to settle all claims pending between the
American and Spanish governments, which
was declined BY Mr.. Soule on the ground that
the majority Of claims did not involve disputa-
bic facts, or principles of a doubtful import. 4
letter from Mr.. Soule to Mr.. Marcy refers to
the Ostend conference, in which he says that
from present indications, Cuba could be OBJ
tanned peaceably.
But if it were otherWise-it is to bring up
on us the calamity of war-let it be now, while
the great powers of this continent are engaged
in the stupendous struggle, which cannot but
engage all their strength and tax all their ener-
gies as long as it lasts, and may before its end,
c%onvulse them all. Neither England nor
France would be likely to interfere with u.s.
In a previous letter he acknowledges the re-
ceipt Of dispatches from Mr.. Marcy, and says:
They informed me of the course which it
was the wish OF the president l should pursue
in the ascertainment of the best mode through
which could be accomplished the main objects
of my mission, viz: the acquisition of the island
of Cuba from Spain"
Hence the Ostend conference!

THE Sandman lMMIGRANTs,-lt seems not
withstanding the representations of the Sardi-
MAN consul, that the Des Gcney's passengers
if not ~convicts, are all paupers. Very shortly
after landing, they began to apply to the immi-
grant commission for relief, two or three at a
time, increasing in numbers daily, and yester-
in the frigate were depending for support on the
commissioners of immigration.
Of the whole number, one has lost an arm
in battle, two are crippled by wounds in the legs,
and one by rheumatism, and one is an old man
of seventy years. Six of the eighteen who
have not applied for relief are of a better class,
and appear to have money. Most of them have
been soldiers, some of them deserters, and
some two or three of them we're committed, in
Sardinia, for begging.
They are all very destitute of clothing having
been hurried from the prison to the frigate with
out notice. They say they were scantly fed
during their long passage of ninety-two days,
and were used with much cruelty by the officers
OF the frigate, who frequently knocked them
down.
Forty-eight of the number express a willing
ness to go to the far west, provided a sufficient
sum of money is given them to keep them from
want until they can SO far fall into the habits OF
Tabor as to be able to earn their own living.
The Sandman consul has been notified that
special bonds will be required for each and all
OF them. IN. Y. Express.
Lord Panmure, as minister of war, in moving
the second reading of an act to amend the ar.
my service laws, declared compulsory means
must unquestionably be found to fill up the
ranks Of the service" He added, that he
would not object to enrol recruits for three in
stead OF seven years, cas- he hoped the war
would be over ere then" These connulsorv
means are not an equal CONSUMPTION, such as IS
IN France and on the continent, where all ranks
are equally drawn from, but a forced impress
ment from the lowest classes.
The branch of the Bank of the State of Geor-
gia, at Washington in that State, was robbed on
the morning Of the 21st ult., Of S15,225inb bills
payable at that branch. "A reward of $1,000
is offered for the detection of the thief and the
recovery of the money.
Duff Green-a very noted and prominent
man IN days past, and leader Of the democrats
OF the Calhoun stripe-has written a letter, in
which he comes out for know nothingism. The
letter IS addressed to senator Hunter, of Yir-
gInla, and creates considerable excitement in
the ranks of the cold liners"
II is worthy of remark that the Charleston
Mercury, the acknowledged leader and official
exponent OF extreme southern statesright demo-
cracy, opposes the acquisition Of Cuba as dan
gerous to the best interests of the country.
The Flag Of the Union, jackson, has come
out in favor Of general Patrick Henry as the
next whlg candidate for governor Of Mississip-
pl. General Henry claims to be a descendant
OF Patrick Henry Of revolutionary fame.

NEGRO LAwTER.-In the United States dis
trct court for Massachusetts,, at Boston, on the
18th March, on motion of Benz. F. Hallett, ..
S. district attorney, Zone of president Pierce's
particular friends and one of his abolitionist ap-
pointments, Macon B. Allen, a gentleman of
color" black as ink, was admitted as counsel
lor and attorney at law in the U. S. court. So
says the Boston Atlas. We suppose that the
next move of Hallett and his companions, will
be TO have their sable friend promoted TO the
bench in Massachusetts.

The STATE SEsATE.-Of this body, the
terms of sixteen members expired with the last
session, and sixteen retain their seats for two
years longer. Those holding over, are honora-

The question has risen with some, if under
the new apportionment, there would not be
thirty three members of the senate at its next
session, growing out of the fact that the sena-
tor from the district composed of Ouachita,
Morehouse, Union and Jackson, holds over,
while under the new apportionment, the same
district is entitled to an additional senator, who
if elected at the next state election, would make
the number of new senators seventeen to be
added to the sixteen holding over. This would
give thirty three senators-one more than the
constitutional number. We conceive that it
will be impossible 10 get over the plain provi-
sion in the constitution fixing the number of
senators at tbirty-two, and at the same time, we
can see no reason why the district named should
be deprived of one of its senator's under the
new apportionment, any more than any other
district in the state. Will the election of this
new senator be ordered? If elected, will he
hold his seat, or if holding his seat, will the
senate be a constitutional one?

Major Cunningham, paymaster of the U. S.
army, has been robbed by some of the ladrones
about Sante Fe of forty thousand dollars in
gold and silver. He offers a reward of $4,000
for the recovery of the money and the convic-
ton of the robbers, but there is little possibili-
ty of his succeeding in doing either, as it is
more than likely that all the Mexicans in the
territory were concerned in the robbery.

The New Hampshire election proves to be q
thorough victory for the know nothings. They
elected the governor, three representatives to
congress, ten state senator's, against one of the
Pierce party, and two hundred and twenty-one
members of the house, against seventy nine
Piercites. The know nothings have thus the
choice oftwo US. senators. A few more contests
like this and there will not be left even a solita-
ry Piercite to mourn the pitiable fate and me-
~lancholy death of the once powerful "unterri
fed democracy"

Ef-sszatse of satarasg last. which aas both IL

81 tle writer who vas there III the town OF
eS1ntFY aho Tas not wiling 70 gIge all fhes1
had, and 10 open their houses and purses, tree
" to the sick III 1855? There was no merit IN
it, and the best only did their duty. q differ
ence NAV exist between those who acted as
nurses and those who did not; for the first pc
| riled their lives and sacrificed their health,
whilst the latter kept their houses and purses
open, but took themselves away. 1.-THE article
in the Gazette signed democrat was intend
ed to contrast Mr.. j. ". Jones with his oppo-
nent unfaForably, I would suggest that AT.
Jones gave all he had freely, and added his
personal services besides, during the epidemic
of 1858, to the peril of his life; form the midst
of his usefulness as a nurse and a good Samar-
itan, he was stricken with the disease himself.
It is very well for persons at a distance to inn
agine that all was done when they lent pecunl-
airy aid or culinary comfort-but the anxious
care, the tear of sympathy, the kindly atten-
ton Of one man present, is worth a score OF 40
sent friends. Out upon such p~retexts. The
question is, who ought to be mayor? That
question should be answered thus: the man OF
the best intelligence, of the best business capa-
city, Of the best knowledge Of the affairs Of the
corporation, Of the most complete identity with
the town.
The candidates are gentlemen. Let US con-
slider their capacity for future usefulness; not
whether they have given wine or oil, or food
heretofore to the sick. Every man, or rather
every gentleman, in toWn did that, and what
right have they to credit for it, except when
they seek to atone hereafter for their sins of
life. JUSTICE.

way Of calculating the amount Of spurious and
counterfeit claims. Ten millions Of dollars will

Colonel Benton, in a letter to the St, Louis
Democrat, calls attention to the fact that he got
a clause inserted in the general post-road bill
for a direct route between st. Louis and San
Francisco, by the mouth of the Huerfano and
the Little Salt lake to Stockton, on the San
Joaquin river, in the valley of San Joaquin,
where it will connect with the permanent steam
boat navigation of the bay of San Francisco,
and also Of the Sacramento river. He further
states that auxiliary to this, he secured anoth-
or provision granting a ~preemptive right in sta
tons to the extent Of $40 acres, at the rate of
one for every twenty miles. This is, he saws,
a most important provision under many aspects.
s'First, it enables this important mail route to
go into operation and TO be maintained and
carried on. Secondly, it will make a chain of
stations across the continent, which will quick
ly become a line of settlements. Thirdly, it
legally recognises the existence of the central
route to the Pacific; and, in my opinion, viz
tually establishes it for the railway" Colonel
Benton, with all his eecentricities, has always
been distinguished for his zeal and persever-
ance in carrying out any measure that would
tendto the benefit of his constituents. If ever
a railroad is built to the Pacific, itisnow more
than probable that it will done on colonel Ben
tons newly established post-route.

Elder Hunt, the mormon representative in

Amador, Santa Clara, Stanislaus, Mariposa,
Tulare, Monterey, Santa Barbara, San Luis

Diego, including the bays, harbours, islands,
etc, along the coast of said territory. So soon
as the consent of congress is obtained for the
erection of the new State, which is to be called
Columbia, commissioners are to be appointed
to ascertain what amount of the debt of Cali
fornia the said new State is to assume, for which
bonds are to be issued and delivered over to
the State authorities Of California as security
for future payment.
