An INTERESTING DEBArE--.We give to-day q
full report OF the debate in the Senate on
Wednesday, 10 relation to the charge made
Mr.. Clayton bad acknowledged TO the British
Minister that be (CIayton) considered the Island
of Ruatan dependency of the British Gro IN.
The debate gives many new facts about this
subject, aud we publish it tina. cur readers may
be fully posted mp. We are drifting into q
great deal Of difficulty in relation to Central
America and the Clay ton Bulwer treaty-that
tsmous instrument, the proper construction Of
which has puzzled all the politicians, and even
its trainers, for nearly six years. So far as our
government and that of England are concern
ed, the matter is as far from solution as ever !;
and were it not for some recent events in Cen
trail America, there might be grounds for ap-
prehension that this Gordian knot of diplomacy
could only be settled by the sword. But the
two disputed points are in relation to the Bay
Islands, which belong to Honduras, and the
Mosquito territory, which is the property of
Nicaragua. Honduras has sent Q commissioner
to negotiate for the retrocession of the Bay
Islands, and the Rivas government is nego
tiating with England for the purpose of re-
suming the sovereignty Of Nicaragua over
Mosquito. The terms offered, and, we learn,
accepted in part, are, that the Indians shall
not be punished for any Of their previous
acte, and that the socalled King shall
be paced on the same footing as the
other Indian chiefs owing allegiance TO
the Nicarsguan republic. As neither the
Bay Islsnds nor Mosquito are of the slightest
value to England compared with the trouble
and expense they involve to the crown, we see
no good reason why the matter should not be
settled as above. England would not give up
any Of her pretensions or compromise her dig
nifty by making any concession to the United
States, while we should be perfectly satisfied.
The Monroe doctrine would be fully carried
out.
So far as this government is concerned, the
treaty is humbug 1t never should have
been made. The idea of two Powers making
convention to regulate the internal affairs Of
another State is an abeurdity that. if diplomacy
had been founded upon common sense, never
could have happened.

GOVERNOR WISE CONES TO THE RESCUE
Some time ago, in an editorial notice Of the
unsatisfactory relations subsisting between
John A. Washington, Esq, the proprietor o.
the Mount Vernon estate, aud the fair and pa
tri0tic members Of the Ladies' Association
Of the Union" for the purchase of said pro-
perty, we suggested that they should at once ap-
peal for the mediation of Governor Wise, ofViT-
ginia The letter of the Governor, which we
publish elsewhere in these columns, shows that
the charming, talented and jealous fret Vice
Presidentess of the association has acted upon
this hint; and the result is the recommends
ton to the society of plan of operations
from Governor Wise, at once simple, feasible
and efficient, to compass the object desired.
Upon the plan thus suggested, unless some
better plan should be devised, we hope that
the estimsble ladies engaged in this sacred en-
terprise Of making Mount Vernon the proper
ty Of the public. win accordingly proceed
afresh to business. Governor Wise tells US
that Mr.. Washington "wants the money" and
the Governor ought to know. Meantime, we
renew another suggestion upon the subject,
viz, that the Governor be requested to inter-
pose his good offices to prevent the further de.
struction of the growing timber around the
tomb of Washington tor yet year or two
longer. Ladies, the Governor has spoken. He
has defined the law, and the way is opened

Buck AT HoME-The editor Of the Nashville
Patriot recently received letter from one Of
the best posted politicians in Pennsylvania,
from which we take the following extract:
Mr.. Buchanan has not, in my opinion, the
slightest chance of carrying Pennsylvania
He is odious to\the old democrats on account
Of his bitter hostility to than and their party
up TO the advent Of jackson, when FOR OFFICE,
as usual, he went NTH the popular current-
They still believe he cherislies his original
heightened, federal, aristocratic principles,
that he has no political frmness, consistency
or integrity, and they see nep proof Of this
IN his ready adoption Of the entire Cincinnati
platform, SO inconsistent with his known and
recently expressed opinions.
Blu. there are other causes from which
infer the impossibility of his carrying Penn.

vania elected sixteen out of twenty-five
members Of Congress. and gave Pierce ma.
jority Of 10000. in 1884 they were beaten
10000 for Congress and $1,000 for Governor,
electing but six out of twenty-five members
Of Congress. Such are the fruits Of the Ne.
braska bill, and its execution in Kansas has
since operated worse than its passage. What
possible chance can they now have2

"Mr. Fillmore has exposed the disunion

ures which will lndubitnbly and olgDecessitS
characterize the administration of Black.
Republican, and practical Disunionist, such
as his published declarations show him to BE-.
If Buchanan be chosen, II Is Admitted
that his administration will be but contin.
uation of that of Franklin Pierce, who found
the country free from all exciting questions,
and has already brought II to the verge of
anarchy. 1t is plain too, that lie will foster
and cherish the Free Soil Democracy of the
North and the Disunion Democracy Of the
South. Now il Democratic administration
Of our public affairs, has, in three years and
n half, by IN unwise and treacherous policy,
brought the Union to deaths door, what may
be expected of n continuation of that admin.

plain. The jacobincal and fanatica spirits
of the North and South cannot be longer
countenanced as they will be if Buchanan is
elected, without sealing the fate of the Re.

TENNESSEE WHEAT-THE CRoPs-.The N.
Y. Journal of Commerce says: "1ennessec
wheat has given great satisfaction in this
market. But little Southern grain has come
to us in such good order, or shown in its pre-
paration more honest, careful husbandry. A
large proportion Of 1t has been red, but the
grain is plump, and the quality very uni.
form. II has been quite n favorie with ship.
pers." 1t has only been two or three years
since Tennessee wheat was introduced into
the New York market, and this statement OF
the Journal of Commerce shows that it is re-.
gnrded there Ms of the very best quality
We noticed last year that Tennessee wheat
commanded the highest market price, This
is credtable to our State, and the COM
pliment paid our farmers for the manner in
which they prepare their wheat for Market
while 1t is but just, is, nevertheless, matter
Of which they should be proud, coming, as il
does, from so intelligent source.
The wheat crop of Tennessee this year
from all we can learn from the various
portions of the State, will, we think, be some.
what larger than that of last year, while the
quality will be equally as good. The yield
has not been so large to the acre, owing to
the severity of the winter, but the breadth Of
ground sown was much larger. The crop is
already finding its way to market, and the
grain is found to be "plump and the quality
very uniform"

The CAMELs.-lt has become quite com.
mon sight to see camels and dromedaries
marching through our streets. The camels
are now employed in carrying government
freight from Powder Horn to the Depot
They carry the enormous weight of 1900
pounds, and with the greatest ease. The
sight OF them stampedes all the horses and
mules that come within sight of them
They are certainly not hnnsome creatures.
A horse, in brisk trot, can scarcely keep
up with the camels When in walk. They
apparently 60 slow with their long measured
tread, but in reality they are moving rapidly.
