Fillibusters Moving.

WASHINGTON, Tuesday, Dec. "a.
The Northern Light has for Nicaragua a
company Of 500 fillibusters, who have been
enlisted and drilled in this city under the
auspices of Parker H. French.
District Attorney McKeon has protested
against the movement, and telegraphed to
President Pierce for further proceedings
Among the freight of the Northern
Light is considerable quantity of war mu-
ni.ions.
SECOND DISPATCH.
Shortly after o'clock to-day the L. S.
Marshall received dispatches from Wash
ington ordering the seizure and detention
of the steamer Northern Light. Officers
were sent on board, but Mr.. White, the
counsel for the Transit, declared that the
vessel should sail at her usual hour, 3
O'Clock. Subsequently, however, he and
the Captain went to tie U. S. District At
torney's office to sec what arrangement
could be made but the result of this inter-
view is not known. About 4 O'Clock the
Northern Light was got under way, but had
not proceeded far before she was intercept
ed by q revenue cutter, which fired two
guns across her bows and brought her to.
Two others proceeded to assist IN stopping
the steamer
There were apparently between 800 and
400 Young neil on board, whose appear
ance indicated they were Nicaragua adven-
turcrs one of them confessed they were such
and had been engaged by Col. French.
The steamer left her dock with three L
S. officers on board.
THIRD DISPATCH.
The Northern Light returned to the city
The Revenue Cutter fired blank cartridge
first to bring her to without effec1, thel
sent shot 9 or s rods ahead of her. Th,
steamer was stopped and compelled to re
turn.

large rivers had been crossed, forests trav-
ersed, and through rain and mud, and over
frost and ice, Green had fled for twenty
days, battling every attempt of his more
powerful antagonist to force him to deci-
sive action. For the skill in which it was
planned, the resolution and energy with
which it was carried through, and the dis
tance traversed, it stands alone in the an
mails of our country, and will bear eompari-
son with the most renowned feats Ofancient
or modern times 1t covered Green with
more glory than victory would have done.
and stamped him at once the great COM
mander.

John Bull on the Plains.

We were much pleased yesterday to re-
ccivea call at our office from our young
friends John w. Waddell and Benz. VIRUS
sell, who have just returned from the PLAINS
Messrs. WaddelI and Russell have seen
the elephant, and the buffalo too, and re-
late some amusing incidents of the jour
nev. one of which may be called a regular
pitched battle between John Bull and an
American Bull.
The British nobleman have been spend
inc the summer and fall on the plains, for
the purpose of sporting, One OF them,
mounted on his fine dapple-gray charger,
and with his gun poised, rode off to a herd
of buffalo Singing out his victim, huge
bull. he ''let slip the dogs of war; The
buffalo, badly wounded, halted to recover
his breath. John kull halted also After
a short pause and deliberate survey of his
antagonist, the enragrd bull charged upon
the horse and his noble rider, making no
distinction between noble and ignoble blood.
Down came horse and rider.
When John Bull rose to his feet he saw
his charger going at full speed, a little In
advance of the herd, and the wounded bull
ready to renew the dreadful assault. Recol-
lecting that he was an Englshman, and
withal nobleman, John Bull was too firm
to retreat. The buffalo again pitched in;
AGAIN John Bull came down on the plain,
up third and fourth time was the tight re-
ncwed, when the Englishman finding the
: ,,,,or,,...r bull was to much of democrat
to re resnect nobility, I'D remembering thai
..I;sar,,;or : tho bet, mart of valor," took
to his heels aad left the plain an '''' % III
the quiet possession of his enemy.

Poll Evil HoRsEs-For the benefi; of
those who have or may hereafter have hor-
ses that have poll evil or fistula. | would
say don't sell the animal for trifle, or give
him away; but cure him sound and we'll
| care not how long it has been running. it
can be cured with one dime; yes, one dimes
worth Of muriatic acid Will cure the worst
ease of old poll evil. First, wash the sore
well with strong soap suds, then drop eight
or ten drops of the acid in it twice a day,
until it has the appearance of fresh wound
after which, it should be washed clean with
suds made from CASTLE soap, and left to
heal which it will quickly do if the acid
has been used long enough; but If it does
not get well, apply the acid again until it
docs cure. for it is a sure remedy, and will
not fail if it is applied until the diseased
flesh is all burnt out.-Prairie Farmer.
