The PANAMA MAssAcRE.-The private
claims for losses at the Panama massacre,
thus far put in, range between three and four
hundred thousand dollars. Besides these,
the names of several claimants have been pre-
serted without the amount Of depreciation
suffered. The Panama Railroad Company
puts in for snug sum, reaching over $500
900, including consequential damages for de-
probation Of stock, interruption of travel and
other causes 1t is believed that this
aggregate Of 100000 may be fairly reduced
at least rone- third, with the consent of our
Government, and without the least injustice
to claimants, who have not deprecated their
losses at all in the rough estimates submit
ted. This sum the poor Granadians will be
called upon to pay; if they can't meet the
demand, it Will he the basis of a right to take
the Isthmus from them, to hold it for securI-
ty and in trnst, if it be not annexed. If
England deals in this way with these weak
South American States, We must either ar
rest her course, or follow her example to keep
even with her, and check her inordinate
graSping commercial policy.

~ ReBBERY.--The store Of our neighbor
PUsHEE, was entered on Thursday night, in
some way, without doing any visible violence
to- doors or windows, and robbed of all the
valuable jewelry it contained. worth from 800
to $500 The thieves were evidently acquaint-
ed with the trade. and knew that all that gilt
ters is not gold. They left the brass and galvar-
lied work, and took only the genuine. Their
operations were apparently very deliberate;
they found the match box, lighted the gas--and
examined the whole stock-fount' the money
box in the desk, and, latter making the choicest
selections of goods, turned off the gas, except
a slight blaze from one burner, and retired,
locking the door behind them. Some one has
got good stock Of jewelry for pedlar's
tramp; and before the holidays are past, the
fruits of this bold theft will be glttering upon
the fair bosOms Of our rural bellies. This &C.
carTence ought to suggest to our city fathers
the necessity Of a night watch, and to our citi-
zens-who are witlioutone--the Importance of
going immediately to Messrs. Hornbrook &
Co.'S and procuring a burglar and fire proof
safe. The thieves very considerably left all
the.little notions for the boys and girls un-
disturbed.

The Cherokee Nation.

The annual message Of j ohm Ross, the head
chief of the Cheyokees has been received at
St. Louis, 1t represents the affairs of the
nation as in. prosperous condition. Civlliza-

necessity of providing for the payment Of the
national debt IS strongly urged. Also an in

accomplishing these objects, a retrocession Of

of this tribe affords strong evidence'of the
capacity Of the aborigines for selfgovernment.

great degree of intelligence and sagacity. a

Gov. BTssELL-The constitution of Illinois
declares that no person whe has given or &C
cepted a challenge to fight a duel is eligible to
t. any Office Of the State. Col. Bissell one
accepted a challenge from Col: Davis. now
Secretary of War. This occurred at Wash

the organic law of Illinois can take cognizance
of the matter since it happened beyond their
immediate jurisdiction. Similar prohibitions
exist in the constitutions of Louisiana and
other States, but they have remained dead

provision, in this instance the Republicans

+ OF, We are indebted to- the magnificent
steamer David White that passed up yester-
day morning., for New Orleans papers. They
speak of the prosperity Of the city and the
activity of trade but contain. no intelligence
of particular interest. The cause of Walker
is considered the cause of the South, and con-
fidence is still expressed that he will recover
from his recent disasters; and it is said that a
stream of emigration must be kept up TO sup
port him. The exter on Of American domin-
ion South is subject Of vital interest to New
Orleans as a city. As American trade and
commerce spread around the shores Of the
Gulf of Mexico New Orleans must be the
medium for distributing the cereals and meats
of the Northern attitudes to the tropics and
the entrepot through. which the tropical pro-
ducts of sugar, coffee, and fruits, will come to
us IN return. The anne xation, or free trade
with Cuba or with any Of the countries on the
Gulf would contribute more to the prosperity
of New Orleans than any other modification
of our foreign trade and policy. Tits natural
therefore that they should feel deep inter-
est in Walkers fate whose success might
open rich region of the tropics to American
free trade. n vu-. ..--.-

Gc3| Mr.. Asa Whitney, the originator Of the
great Pacific Railroad schemer,is extensively
engaged in the milk business in Washington
city. He lives few miles out, keeps about
fifty cows and supplies Washington people
with milk. He locks like plain farmer, and
talks like a states1naTs-especiaiiy when you
breach his favorife sAhjeet Of the railroad. He
thinks the road cannot now be built One of
his reasons is that the matter has got to be
political one, and what one administration or
party does, the other will endeavor to undo.
Another is, that the lands are not so easily to
be obtained now as when he first proposed
the project, and that it will cost immensely
more Mr.. Whitney raised upon his pace
this year one hundred bushels of the seed Of
the Chinese sugar cane, for which the Com
missioner Of Patents paid him So per bushel.
The seed is in great demand.
There is great deal of truth and matter
for rejection in the statement that whatever
gets into our halls of Legislation, becomes
foot ball for political partizansf and is kicked
from ore party to- the oth.r,- till the political
game is won by it, and then the great subject
of public interest is forgotten.
