The Cox Divorce Case.

According to the testimony recently put in
in this case, the lady has completely turned
the tables on her lord; showing conclusively
that he, not she, is the black sheep 1t seems
that his witnesses, who swear to having seen
her in and around houses of ll.fame, are per.
sons wholly destitute of character The man
who swears that he frequently met her in
such places turns out to be noted perjurer-
a convenient swearer on such trials-having
been four times indicted for perjury. The
Rev Doctors female witnesses are all of the
Boriaboola Cha order, and are shown to have,
by their impudent conduct in the Doctor
house, greatly and unjustifiably annoyed the
lady. Her witnesses, who, in point Of char.
acter, turn out to be as respectable persons,
male and female, as New York contains, prove
that the Doctor married her for her money,
after eighteen months assiduous courtship;
that Immediately afterwards, on finding that
she would not give up her property to him,
and did not have more than sufficient to give
her an income of 81 200 per annum, he began
to treat her unkindly, ending in positive bru-
tally towards her; that she left him, and
subsequently entered into articles of separa.
tion from him; that when away from him she
resided with excellent people, and enjoyed
the respect and confidence of the families of
the leading Episcopal clergymen of the city,
she being consistent and worthy cOmmuni-
cant of that Church, whose walk in life was en-.
tirely correct. The whole case exhibits, in
the testimony, ono Of deep and damnable con-
spiracy to ruin the character of an inoffensive
and worthy woman, such as would furnish .
glorious theme for the pen of Dickens. The
Rev. DR.. Cox, Of lions church, has certainly
done for himself, through all time and etern.
ity, by bringing his domestic affairs before
the public in this suit against his wife for .

SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS.

The Intsiiigsncsr, in republishing comments
of the Philadelphia Inquirer upon the pres
emit phase of the Enlistment question, takes
occasion to say:
"A great nation like the United States Is
certainly not called upon to be satisfied with
an inadequate repsration for any afront in
tentionally offered to its sovereignty; but it is
equally true that great nation owes some
thing to that conscious sense Of its own digni-
ty and power which should preserve it from
entertaining the perpetual suspicion that
other nations are studiously seeking to offer il
insults or injuries A litigious and cavilling
spirit is no more commendable in the inter-
course Of States than among the individual
members Of private society, and international
comfy is as poorly vindicated in the one case
al social courtesy in the other. An insspsi.
bility 10 the requirements of good breeding
may be as unfortunately shown in a refusal to
accept an ample reparation as in ''tame SUBJ
mission to wrong" for he who refuses to ac-
cept the former when sincerely rendered proves
himself unworthy Of the Difference which he
claims by his inability to appreciate the reci-
procal obligations imposed by the amenities of
society And that which is true of men seems
equally true with reference to the great COM
munity of nations; and, if among the latter it
is graceful and obligatory to make apology for
unintsntional afronts, it must be equally
graceful and obligatory to receive it in the
same spirit by which it appears to have been
prompted"
Of the state of the gubernatorial contest in
Wisconsin, the Intsliigencer says: i
"a telegraphic despatch received last night
from Milwaukee states that the Hon. William
A. Barstow yesterday resigned the Office of
Governor of the State of Wisconsin. 1t does
not appear that the Supreme Court of the
State has yet made a decision upon the ques-
ton to which we referred yesterday; but the
despatch states that Mr. Bashford, the COM
petitor Of Governor BarstOw, was yesterday
proven before the Supreme Court to be elected
by majority of about one thousand votes
The Lieutenant Governor is acting Governor,
pending the solution of the contest before the
Supreme Court.
The linton is decidedly Of opinion that
Know Nothingism has gone to seed saying
Of its present status:
"The best evidence of the disgraceful folly
of the know-nOthing creed is to be found in
the almost universal reputation of that creed
by the know nothings themselves. Its secresy
Is cast out as An unclean thing. Its oaths
have become so odious that the easiest way to
insult member Of its order is to ask him if
he has taken them. It's religious intolerance,
no matter how praetised, is most furiously
denied; and even that fondness for American
interests and Americans ruling America -
has dwindled nto an eagerness to receive the
votes and the cOunsels of all, native or foreign
born, who are willing to unite with them.
Such is one view Of know nothing policy-such
the experience Of the last eighteen months
presented in the different State councils, North
and South +"

WARRINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP.

The Nicarsguan Embroglio. have re-
Trained as far as possible from discussing the
present phaIe of the Niesraguan government
affair up to this moment, because indisposed
to make any statement whatever concerning
ii, except upon information On the correctness
Of which we could rely implicitly. In the
meanwhile We diligently prosecuted the in
vestigation necessary to enable as eventually
to shed light upon this interesting subject,
and are already fairly overloaded with facts
concerning il going to show the foresight, wis
dom and propriety of the course of the Gov
eminent of the United States in steadily re.
fusing TO hold intercourse with the Riyas-
Walkers authorities as the lawful government
ofNicaragua. The Misunderstanding between
the Transit Company and Walker has already
brought to light many things not only tending
to yindicste their reputation and that of their
counsel, Mr.. White, (whO, we observe, is be-
ing vehement;y charged by Walkers news
paper with treason and hostility towards his
government,) from the imputation under
which they not long since rested, of vo,.
the Nicarsguan government, by which that fell
into the hands Of parties DO more entitled TO
WELD it, than to WELD the government of Eng.
land or Austria; and, at the same time. To
stamp even more indelibly upon Walker, his
acts and his aims, the character Of unmiti
gated piracy, making it even more than here
tofore the duty Of this Government 10 see at
all hazards that be receives no more aid and
comfort from the United States, either east or
west Of the isthmus.
Our researches satisfy US
First That he was aided with means to prs.
cipitate himself and his original followers
upon Nicaragua, by parties in New York and
California, whose aim was to have him sei,s
the government there, only in order that h.
might repay their advances by seizing, on
some fimsy pretext, the property and fran.
chises of the Transit Company and transfe,
them to tnemselves-stockhol holders in the Ine
holding confidential relations to it.
Second. That having thus placed himself
IN power there, the advances Of the same par.
ties to him have amounted to an aggregate Of
near s24O 900, including the box Of specie
on which lie seized in transit over the 18th.
mus; the same trip Of the lines boats bring.
ing to New York check for $50, 900 to in
demnify the company for its necessary advance
TO make good the money thus taken violently
from out of the hands of its agents.
Third. That the plea that the charter al
the transit Company was revoked, only be.
cause of failure to appoint umpires and
settle the outstanding accounts with the
Nicarsguan government, was the shesres,
and baldest pretence imaginable. Thus, when
those really interested in the future pros
Per'y Of the company, rather than in profit,

The {. S. PROPELLER ARCTIC is at sea again
in search of the Pacific. In her recent cruis-
ing, &c she has been between. Sable Island
(Which was thoroughly examined for recent
wrecks) and the latitude "a, along the edge of
the gulf; and has not seen any vestage of the
Pacific or any other wreck. The Arctic has
been under canvass most Of the time, her
propeller being almost useless in the very
heavy weather which she has experienced.
Capt. Hartstein intends to cruise until after
the usual time of the line or equinoxial gale
She has been short Of water, and on an allow
ance of it for some days, but has since made
a suficiency by steam and other ways All
we'll on board.
The Arctic would not have put into port
were it not for the purpose of putting Van
Rensseia' r Hall, the boatswain, on shore, as his
health was delicate and he feared serious
illnesswould ensue were he to remain on board
Mr.. Hall, it is understood, brought dispatches
to the government and Mr. & K. Collins re.
specting the result of his search for the Pacific
and also his opinion respecting the probability
Of her yet being afoat. Mr.. Van Rensselaer,
Hall came near being burned to death on
board the stesmtug Levathan, which took
fire soon after he came On board, and was con-
sumed in few minutes after the FIRE was dis
covered.

~ A paper in Ohio tells a good joke of
several prisoners who were confined in one Of
the county jails of the Buckeye State. The
jail was old and dilapidated, and one night
they escaped from their durance vile, in other
words broke jair'-but instead of escaping
the jailor found them next morning seated on
the top of their prisonshouse, pounding the
measure, he asked them what they were doing,
whereupon one of them replied that the house
leaked SO bad when it rained, they concluded
they would just step out and repair the roof.
