WIscoNsIN.-Fremont's majority is
probably, from $4,000 to $4,000. The
Republicans have all the Congressman
gain of l. The Legislature is all Re-
publican and will elect U. S. Senate,
in place of Gov. Dodge.
IowA-The northern counties show a
Republican gain over the August elec-
ton, and the southern counties show but
little difference.
TENNEssEE.-Of official returns from all
but six counties give Buchanan 6S,S46;
Fillmore 62,20S. Buchanan's majority
6,63S. He will be about 10000 in the
State.
KENTUCKY.-In so counties the dem
ocratic gain is IL 900 over their last vote
for Governor, leaving them far ahead
They will have from 5000 to 5000 mai
in the State.
OHIo.-The Republican majority is
sure $4,000. The vote is not so heavy

The GOVERNMENT OF THE Z. S..
FoREToLD IN REvELATIoN-In our last
issue we re-published an article from a
New York paper on the subject standing
as the caption above. A gentlem an
now in this city proposes giving a sen les
of lectures ON the subject, commenctn
sometime next week. The question
has been carefully studied and the gem
tleman is firmly impressed with the be-
lief that the American Republic was
foretold by the inspired men of ancient
days. He will attempt to prove by the
Scriptures that the spirit which aided
Washington to establish this govern
ment left the country with Fillmore's
administration, when all the great men
of the nation died, and that James Bu-
chanan cannot live the term for which
he has been elected In the present
mysticism which hangs about politics in
the future this appears to be the only
chance to see through rent veil into
the grand Arcana time is to open to us
politicians. Well be there.

THEATRE.-The interest in the per-
formances at the Nevada Theatre has
not lessened in the least. Every night
goodly audience, Notwithstanding the
hard times, greets Warwick and his
troupe of supporters. On Monday and
Tuesday nights the Flying Dutchman
was produced with remarkable success.
Warwick, Rand, Woodard, Ferguson,
MCGOWAN, Miss Deming, Mrs. Leonard,
and, in short, each and all of the com
pany, strove to please the audience,
and from the plaudits they received
throughout this beautiful play, they did
not strive in vain. Wednesday and
Thursday nights. the "Nick of the
Woods" was enacted to the perfect salts
faction of all. Warwick, in the char
acters of the ''Jibbennainosay,"" ""Bloody
Nathan" Mick of the Woods" &C.,
portrayed, in the most life-like manner,
the character of a desolate, desperate
and vengeance-seeking mad-man, rem
dered so by the cruelty of blood-thirty
savages. Woodland, as Roaring Ralph"
showed up the character of the "wild
hunters of Kentucky" in border life
and their fights with the Indians, with
great trutbfulness, and drought down
the house" whenever he appeared
Mrs. Claughley. in the character of
"Telie Doe" played her part exceed
ingly well, and received the applause
of all.
There is splendid bill for this eve-
ming in the play of the "Forty Thieves"
This is one of the most beautiful and
interesting plays that has every been
put upon the stage. The scenery has
all been prepared by George Terrell,
who has not a superior as scenic artist.
The price of admission is only one dol

paper, under the head of "Cowardly

their bills. We then gave the circum-

have since received a letter from Mr..
Merchant, stating that he paid the bills,
which the landlady acknowledges to be
the fact. While the steward was gone
for an officer to arrest Mccullough for
assault, Merchant called at the restau-
rant and paid his and Nee Collough's bills,
and then they both left town. We
make this correction in justice to Mr..
Merchant, who seemed disposed to do

1t is not presumable that the fillibus
ters, composed as they are of the dross
of California society, are farther ad-
vanced in civilization than we are, and
therefore not presumable that the col
ored natives are allowed their oaths as
against the affidavit of a white scoun-
drel. What evidence must exist that a
contract has been entered into between
the two? Simply the oath of an un-
scrupulous robber, against which there
is no rebuttal. Or perhaps, in fit of
debauchery, the unsuspecting native is
made to sign his death warrant, the con-
sequences of which he cannot avoid

found more heartless batch of wretches

Correspondence Of Courier & Enquirer.)

Washington, Sept. 8.
The last steamer brough. advces from Mr..
Dallas representing tho conclusion of nego-
tiations with Honduras, relative to the Bay
Island Colony and the Mosquito Islands. Direct
correspondence upon the subject of the Central
American differences was the result with the
British Government and the negotiations are
progressing fnvorably. Walkers Government
has not been recognized in Great Britain. Lord
Clarendon has not expressed desire to receive
a minister from Walker. The British Govern
ment recognizes the administration of Estrada,
the representative of the government which ex-
listed in Nicaragua prior to the invasion Of Walk
err Our government has never recognized that
last usurpation, not even to extent of defacto
government, when in May last Padre Vigil was
officially received by the President 1t was as a
minister appointed by President Riyas to whom
Walker was subordinate as commander Of the
army. 1t is the authority of Rivas now recog-
nized here as the only legal one in the country.
Minister Wheeler has again placed himself in
correspondence with Walker, but without in
structions from the State Department. The par
ty of Rivas is in possession of nearly the whole
country and the flibusterer is hcmmed in with
in league OF the capital and its immediate VI
cinity. Mr.. Wheeler has written no official let
tiers whatever he may have done in his private
character as he represents Walkers affairs in a
precarious condition.
