HORRIBLE AFFAIR.-This morning color.

He was horribly cut with some sharp instru-

wounds. There had been a dance near Dr.

Slater was there, fight was excited, and q
cOlOred man, name unknown, drew a razor,

him placed in a wagon and carried to his home

wounds had not been arrested.

We call the special attention Of Southern
men-of Southern Democrats particularly -
to the subjoined extract from the Boston Atlqs,
one of the most rabid and hateful Abolition
prints in the United States:
"The passage of the Iowa Land bill through
Congress is denounced by the border ruffian
papers in Missouri as piece of great injustice
TO that State. The reason is obvious. The
bill grants two millions of acres of the public
lands to Iowa, to enable her to complete certain
railroads. 1t specifies four different lines of
railway, all parallel to each other, and running
east and west through the State. One of these
roads terminates ct the mouth of the Platte
river, and the other at Council Bluffs, only IL
miles above. 1t seems very natural that Mis-
souri, should not be pleased with this. 10 soilL
enable the people Of Kansas and Nebraska TO
travel east and 0GSt pithOut being subjected TO
the Outrdges Of the 6dnditti IohO search all the
Missouri river boats. The passage of this bill
Dds Just and proper increment, and DiH pro-
duce Gerry BENEFICIAL results an Due time"
Sure enough. 'The reason is obvious" why
Abolitionists and the Emigrsnt Aid Society
should be in favor of giving away all the public
lsEds to the Northwestern States. That is,
such system will build railroads, '.free gratis"
for these Abolition invaders and robbers TO
''trave" over least and west"-it will enable
these Northern scoundrels to send Sharpe's
rifles to Kansas, partly at the expense of the
South, to shoot down Southern citizens.
There's the effect of the system, boosted over
by the Yankees Will Southern mems eyes
never be opened l-Richm0Hd Wing.

And lOEeler mistress proud man never gave

Like lady in dancing, her slipper Of snow;
And she looked when her steamhag few back the gale
Like bride when the June wind has lIfted her VEIL
No shade the surface, nor eddy, nor bruno,
Like the ice-blink fOreteTing the mariners doom;
No ripple crept over the mirror-like gloss
or the waters smooth polish, where she to cross,
Careering so proudly, unheeding thatthere
The crafty old sawyer lies hid in his lair.
The river-god buried me deep in his wrath,
Yet like cooled serpent lurked in her path;
crouched in my covert, the pageant to see,
listed her coming with craft-covered gee,
And boarded destruction, soon to o'erwhem
Bold brows by her banner, brave hearts at her helm.
IIark the boom of her bounding roar Of her res
The steam from her scape-pipe in thunder expires;
Tis the Of her paddles steelgrded and strong,
Tis the dash of her sharp prov foaming along,
Then rose like q serpent and grimly laughed,
As deep in her bosom went plungng the shaft
wild cry Of horror terrible lull-
sinking-swift sinking-down goes the dark hull;
Faint shreks in the waterl around me spread
The CHASTITY remains Of unsepulchred dead;
The lofty and lowry, the gifted and gay,
And the cunning old sawyer gloats over his prey.
Like the sun-soaring eagle when scaling the cloud
Struck down by the lightning who hides in its shroud
Like the pard Of the desert when flashes the dart
OF the wld-ridng Arab, deep, deep in his heart;
Down sunk the proud steamer, the noble and brave,
And Death brooded over the Bride Of the Wavel

american Steamboats, in Europe.-The FIRST Anne

now successfully running upon the Danube
in the service Of the Danube Steam Navigation
Company. The success of the experiment has
induced that company to build two other
vessels from models Of George Steers, and design.

Lower Danube. These rapids it was considered inns
possible to ascend until very few years since, the
speed of the water at some parts of them being
equal to ten miles an hour. The boats are now in

roaern system of NaturaIizution.

Just before the recent election in Phiadelpha'
where aliens were naturaliLed in the grandest sort
of style, some vueer scenes occurred in the Court
of Common Pleas The Philadelphia Times gives
us some specimens Of the manner Of making citi-
in that city. The class Of men referred to
allowed to make laws hold Office, elect public OH.
GERS while an American born citizen, twenty years,
eleven months and thirty days old, can do no such
thing. Many who are thus naturalized can neither
write nor read, and know less Of Government than
children dozen years old. But to the scene in
the Philadelphia Court Here three claimants to
American citizenship, OF whom speaks Of the
Constitution of the United States as "a Raker!"-
while the second calls it "a citizen" and the third
charseteriZes it as q monarchy
Zone Of the vouchers on being asked IL the can
didste for citizenship was swell affected to the Con-
sIitution Of the United States" replied "YaW, to
be sure, but on being questioned as to the mean
ing of that important phrase, added, with the ut
most simplicity, yes; know, he is baKerl This
of course was deemed conclusive, and the case was
dismissed.
Another voucher for candidate from the "Eme-
raid Isle. in reply TO the question, answered
so doubtfulin the affirmative that Judge Allison
felt constrained TO ask him If he knew what the
Constitution was. '0f course do" replied the
voucher, she's a citizen of the blessed United
States" The Judge endeavOred to correct the i'm.
preston Of the witness, but without effect and this
case was also dismissed But the most significant
illustration Of the capacity Of some Of the better
citizens" TO appreciate the character and value Of
our institutions, was exhibited in the answer Of a
third voucher before the same Judge. The vouch-
er promptly answered all the preliminary questions
relative to the arrival of the candidate for citizen
ship in this land of liberty, and duly certified to
his morality aud good conduct, but when asked as
TO his affection for the Constitution" he seemed
a little puzzled and the Judge was tempted to ask
him il he knew what the Constitution happened 10
be. The voucher was at a still greater loss for an
answer. When the Judge, TO make himself clearly
understood, asked the voucher il he knew what the
form Of government hero was whether it was res
public a monarchy. After long pause and
some reflection the voucher replied that he believed
1t was a monarchy.

Wild CoTToN OF NIoARAGUA.-We were
shown a specimen of cotton yesterday, by Mr..
Dunwell, who is just from Nicaragua, which
he found in the forest, while hunting on the
banks of the San Juan river, in Nicaragua
The stalk on which it grew was about six feet
high, growing straight and branching but lit
tie. The staple is long and fine, and the seed
have the peculiarlty of being quite naked, or
yielding the down from them without retain
ing the white fbrous coating which is seen on
the seed of the ordinary cotton cultivated in
the Southern States. This would seem to give
to give is an advantage over other cotton in
ginning, and to save much cotton which is
now lost by adhering to the seed. small
sample of this cotton, and the seed attached,
can be seen by the curious at the Delta Office.

From HAVANA Our correspondents at
Havana, writing on the 25th inst, announce
the sailing of the Spanish squadron fer Vera
Cruz. The force consisted of six men of war,
mounting one hundred and twenty guns, COM
manded by Brigadier Pinzon. On arriving st
Vera Cruz, four additional briggs will join the
squadron. Much excitement prevailed in Hs-
vana, as it was suspected that this demonstrs-
ton was in some way or other connected with
the affairs of Central America. An agent has
been sent to Spain in order to submit to tie
home government the necessity of immediate
action against Gen. Walker, as q means of pre-
serving Cuba to the Queen. The French ship

We have been considerably diverted by
the solicitude which the Union and AmeTi-
can manifests for the well-being Of the lit
tleremnant of old line Wings, who are still
standing out against the temptations to
coalesce with other parties, and wondering
what they ought to do with themselves in
the canvass for the Presidency No proyi-
dent hen ever scratched with more anxiety
for the dainty worm wherewith to regale
her brood, than it does for pabulum to
strengthen the faint stomachs aud weak
backbones of old line Wings Its labors
in this respect are commendable. Having
done much to break down Wing constitu-
tions, and to destroy Wing faith in all that
is good in the creed which was erst the
glory of the party, it ought to do something
to make them raise their dropping heads.
In his eal-disintcrested, of course; it
couldn't be otherwise-to save his tender
nurselings, our neighbor affects to "have
been impressed Of late with the striking
similarity of the blatterdash assaults that
are being made" upon them by the Black
Republicans, North, and Know Nothings,"
South. Most singular coincidence Equal
almost to that which is exhibited in the
war made upon Mr.. Fillmore and the Amer
lean party by the Black Republicans,
North, and the Democracy North and
South. But, our neighbor, not satisfied
with stating how he had been impressed,
cites paragraphs from the New York ITib-
une and the Patriot, to exhibit the Striking
similarity" of which he speaks. 1t is sell
dom he graces his columns with brace of
paragraphs so appropriate to the subjects
of which they treat, and his readers should
extend to him the compliment Of vote of
thanks, inaSmuch as they may be benefited
by the selections, which propagate truths
Democratic papers are not in the habit of
circulating. Whilst placing all reliance in
the Patriot paragraph, they must be chary
about accepting the comments Of their or
gan as veritable gospel. For instance, our
neighbor remarks
The Tribune says, "Mrs. Micawber's devor
ton to Micswber is no longer without a par
allel." The Patriot, catching the figure, re-
peats, "The Wing party had many Micawbers."
1t is to be presumed he wrote with the
Tribune and Patriot before him. How else
could he have given their language? II he
had the papers before him, it was disingenu-
GUS to make the PatriOt catch its figure
from the Tribune. The Patriot spoke on
the I0h Of April and the Tribune OH the It'll
Of May This is a matter of little impor-
lance, but still it serves to show that to make
an apparent hit our neighbor has not scru-
pied to sacrifice his candor. OF piece
with this sample, is the insinuated charge
of plagiarist, in the following paragraph,
there not being the remotest identity Of
idea, or figure of speech, in the extracts
from the Tribune and Patriot:
The question presents itself: has the Tribune
been plagiarising from the Patriot, or the Pa
triOt from the Tribune? Or is it one of those
singular condolences, where, upon a given
point, mems ideas and views run so much in
the same channel, that they employ almost
the same language to convey them2
