THE HONDURAS RAILROAD PRoJEcr.-The New York Evening Post of the 16th ult., says:
 "The recent decline in Panama stock is most ly attributed to the increasing probability of the Honduras railroad project being put into action by combination of New York, Par;sian and London capitalists, at the head of whom is E. C. Squier, our former Consul to Nicara- qua. MT. Squier writes out that the names of the London directors will speedily be published. MT. William Brown, the head of the firm of Brown, Brothers & Co.,, and member of the English Parliament for Lancashire, will be the leading London director The French govern ment has an interest in the Paris branch of it. The plan is to let the new organization be made known at the same time that the settlement of Central American affairs may be effected by a treaty or agreement between Honduras, the United States, England and France.''

0T While at Little Rock last week, we heard several men Strangers to us) say, that they would prefer Fremont, as C amaa, to Buch- anan. Many of the opposition would prefer any man, north or south, east or west, no mat ter what his antecedents or present position so that he is an opposer of democracy, to Mir. Bu- chanan or any other man the democratic party would bring forward. We are sorry to say it, but we believe many of the Know Nothing party would prefer any calamity-any evil-to befall this country, to its remaining longer un- der a democratic administration. We are glad, however, to believe that these preferences are only the gaseous frettings of disappointed am bilious men, and that a large majority of that party entertain different sentiments At any rate the country is safe for four years more-as MT. Buchanan will certainly be elected-Ar- kansaU TIaveler.

McMULLIN AND GRANGER RDIFFICULTY--The New York Mirrors Washington correspondent, gives the following version of this affair:
 Iesterday morning, Messrs. McMulen, of Virginia and Granger, of New York, while riding to the capitol, in an omnibus, got into dispute about politics, when McMullen seized and struck Granger in the eye.
 The facts appear to be as follows: The par ties were riding in an omnibus, when con- versatlon arose on the army bill proviso.- McMullen said that the South would stand by the Constitution. Mir. Granger replied that if they did not, republican President would make them Whereupon McMullen said he would not be addressed in that way by youn. ger man. Granger replied" waive my age" McMullen then seized Granger round the neck, holding down his head, and struck him two blows, drawing blood under the eye and under the ear. They were then separated by Col. Chester, Of the Philadelphia Inquirer"

SEQUEL TO THE DUEL-A HORSE WHIPPING BY LADY.-Y esterday afternoon Mrs. Span- nagal, wife of the Doctor, who was one of the principals in the late duel, presented herself at Best's saloon on Randolph street, where shirt maker Scwartz was fighting his duel o'er again to some of his boon companions, and reproach- ed him with not only insulting her, but with being coward, in having desired to fight her husband when he knew the pistols were loaded with nothing but saw du t. She then drew a cow hide from beneath her scarf, and laid it on the amazed and confounded shirt-maker most vigorously, cutting him in the face quite severely, and altogether nficting very sharp punishment upon him.
