Acqaisition Of Turitory.-The outrages
committed some months ago at Panama on
tho railroad passengers crossing TO the Pa
cific, doubtless directed the attention of our
Government to the propriety of devisiug
some means by which to save our citizens
from similar outragcs in future, rs we'll as
to render the transit of the Isthmus a safe
and uumolestcd route for all travellers what.
ever. With II view, we presume, to effect
this important object, our Executive has.
rs we understand, been negotiating with
the Government Of New Granada for a
cesslon or transfer Of tue jurisdiction or
sovereignty of tract Of country on the
lsthmus, embracing, of course, the line of
the railroad, and how much more we do
not know. The authorities of the Isthmus
being unable, if willing, to repress the
banditti which infcst Panama and its
neigh ghborhood, an arrangement which shall
place that power in our own hands
would certainly be very desirable, if it can

OF our Government to an Objectionable ex-
tent. we simply state the fact of the
negotiation, however, without touching on
the political aspect Of the subject, of which
our knowledge Of the details of the matter
are too imperfect to permit It's to speak,

y gentleman, who is heavy planter in
the canc-brake lands Of this State, said to
us yesterday, that lie should hol,. his cotton

planter i'll this State brings superior in,c,i.
gcncc or experience to bear on the subject \
the crop will be short at least 500 600
bales. With this for his predicate, lie rea-
sons most ucllv that the staple cannot be
kept below h:ten cents, though he does not
look for that figure before next April. We
agree with linn thus far-that if there is
