THE MASSACRE AT PANAMA

The New York Day Book asks what the
negro-loving organs think of the black
butchers of Panama They are very silent
on the subject. The Panama butchery and
the outrages on defenceless women and
children, are fair sample of abolitionism
the natural result Of free-negroism wherever
it preponderates.
The New York Journal of Commerce, in
an article on this subject, very properly
insists that our Government must demand
indemnity for the past and security for the
future; and the only mode of securing these
ends, is to have the strong arm of our
Government on the spot, ready for action
should occasion demand. Not less than
four millions of treasure, besides thousands
of passengers and valuable freight, pass
monthly over this route.
There is but one iron link between the
Atlantic and Pacific, connecting our Allan
tic and Pacific borders, and that, all will
agree with the Journal, ought not to be left
at the mercy of savages.

IN PEACE, PREPARE FOR WAR.

The Washington Union advises warlike
preparations on the part of the United
States, to resist inroads upon their interests
and rights by the European governments.
tbs wise counsel. we trust that the present
gloomy indications of European difficulties
may give way to clear and unclouded sky,
but our only permanent security is prepara-
ton. The last war with England affords
no standard by which to judge of the re-
suits of another contest with that country.
Instead of finding her at war with France,
we shall behold France her ally, and pro-
badly have to encounter both nations.
In the late war, and until very recent
period, our distance from Europe was con-
sidered an insurmountable bulwark against
invasion on an extensive scale. But the
introduction of steam in ocean navigation,
and as an agent of naval warfare, has en-
tirely upset this calculstion. The Crimean
war is before US, carried on at as great
distance from England and France as is
America, and what have we beheld! Two
hundred thousand men. with all the NUM-
tions of war, and with more complete and
heavier artillery than was ever before used
in battle, transported as if by magic three
thousand miles, and landed in perfect safety,
and in almost an incredible short space of
time, upon an enemy's shores! What has
been done in the East, can be done in the
West. Two hundred thousand Englishmen
and Frenchmen can be as easily landed
upon the shores of the United States as
upon the Crimea. Eight hundred British
ships of war, all propelled by steam. can be
on our coast in two weeks. To meet these
odds, before which the colossal
military power of Russia succumbed, we
have standing army of ten thousand men,
and seventy or eighty war ships! Yet Con-
gress hesitates even to inaugurate system
Of defence for the country Richmond

THE SHOOTING ARRAY IN
KANSAS

The Pittsburg Post on reliable informa-
ton, gives the particulars of the shooting
of Sheriff Jones, at Lawrence, Kansas.
On the 18th instant, the sheriff went to St.
Lawrence to arrest S. n. Wood, but was
driven off. He then went to Gov. Shannon,
who telegraphed to the President, and called
out IL United States troops from Fort
Leavenworth. They proceeded to Law
renee with Sheriff Jones and arrested Wood
and six of the persons who aided in driving
off the sheriff. That night while Jones was
sleeping in his tent, some one fired pistol
ball into his spine. He was removed to the
Free State Hotel, where the Congressional
Investigating Committee were stopping
Lieut.. Mcintosh then called in ten other
troops who were passing Lawrence. Fifty
more troops were to be sent there from Fort
Leavenworth. Sheriff Jones has died of
his wounds.

MIR. G1LMER's APPOINTMENTS.

Know-Nothing journals, on the authority
| of the Greensboro Patriot, are attempting
to deny that Mr.. Gilmer made his list of
appointments for addressing the voters.
without consultation with Gov. Bragg
Now, the Raleigh Standard settles the ques-
ton, and shows cOnolusively that Mr.. Gill
mer was guilty of the discourtesy of making
his arrangements to suit his own views and
convenience, without at al. knowing wheth-
er it would be in the power of Gov. B. to
confront him on the stump. The Standard
says:
''Now. We repeat that Mr.. Gilmer made
the appointments without consulting Gov.
Bragg; and Gov. Bragg was notified"
thereof, not until he had aoritten to Mr..
Gilmer on the subject, requesting an an
s'cer. The appointments appeared first in
the Asheville Spectator of the Oath April,
before Gov. Bragg wrote to Mr.. Gilmer
and yet the Patriot says the Governor was
notified of them at the very earliest mo.
ment"' Again: The Register, of this City,
stated on the Odd of April, that Mr.. Gilmer
would commence the campaign in the West;
yet no appointments were given,-and the
Patriot, printed in Mr.. Gilmrr's own town,
suPpressing them up to the I'd of May
These are facts, which the Patriot can
neither meet nor explain. The Patriots
article, instead of relieving Mr.. Gilmer.
has been the cause of showing more clear
ly his want of courtesy, liberality, and JUS
tice in this matter. We had no wish to |
make this showing, but the Patriots insin-
uations against us left US no other alterna.

MURDER.

There was terrible affair at Islesboro',
Maine, last week. Joseph G.. Brown, owner
of a small water craft, returned to his home
as his family were at breakfast. When his
wife saw his countenance, she exclaimed,
II am afraid of YOU" He Immediately
caught up knife and pursued her to
corner of the room and out her throat
severing both windpipe and carotid artery
Their daughter, eleven years old, in at
tempting to aid her mother, seized the knife,
while Brown drew it through her fingers.
cutting them severely. The monster fed,
and undertook to escape to sea in boat,
but was overtaken by Capt. Benz. A. War
rem and three others. He threw himself
overheard with rock tied to his neck,
saying, ''Warren, you know what have
done; have killed my wife, but she killed
me first; take care of my children, COM
NIT myself to the waves"-but the water
being shallow, he was fished up, and COM
mitted to Belfast jail. He is thirty-fve
years of age, and his wife was about thirty,
a small woman, inoffensive, and progresses

SCENE I'M TEE SENATE.

| A scene enacted in the u. S. Senate, ON
Friday, does not add much to its reputation,
| though we can well understand the Difficult
| ty that Southern men have in tolerating the
presence of such creatures rs Seward, Hale
Il Co. On Friday Hale, abiding to what
he said were grossly personal attacks upon
him in Mr.. Clay's recent speech, remarked
that he had but one word to submit in re-
| ply THAT it will take something besides
maignity to redeem imbecility from con-
tempt!
Mr.. Clay sprung to his feet, and replied:
l defy the Senator's malice as much as 1
contemn his baseness. No man shall assail
my rights or those of my constituents, and
| shirk his responsibility by skulking behind
plea of non eombatancy. If he had been
animated by those heroic feelings which he
proposes, he would not come upon this
floor, and under the protection of its rules,
seek immunity for his insoIence. I know
he is pleased by this attention, There are
those of his class. who, like the London
attorney, Mark NEEDLE, in the play, are
ambitious for kick. [Sensation.] He
concluded by remarking that he had moth
ing more to say to that Senator, having
twice declined his acquaintance and he
asks pardon of the Senate for consuming so
much time about Senator who soils the
carpet on which he treads.
Mr.. Hale replied that he never sought an
Introduction to him but once, and that was
on professional business, for the benefit
of citizen from Alabama.
Mr.. Clay rejoined-He did not think his
reputation for veraeity would suffer by con-
fict with one who had repeatedly eaten his
own words.
Mr.. Hale replied that if he had eaten his
own words he would have more palatable
meal than the Senator from Alabama, if he |
should undertake to eat his.

FATAL OCCURRENCE IN WASH
INGTON.

Mr.. Herbert, the Representative in Con-
gress from California, shot the chief waiter
of Wizards Hotel about ii O'Clock on the
9Th instant The waiter died instantly.
The cause of the difficulty was the insolence
of the waiter, who had been much excited
in the house before meeting with Mr.. Her.
bert, who is said to be quiet and inoffen-
sive man. The circumstances are said to
be that, at late breakfast, a dispute arose
between Mr.. Herbert and the waiter, when
sharp words were passed. Other servants
came up and made an assault with chairs,
plates, etc. Mr., Herbert defended himself,
with the assistance of another gentleman,
and only shot the waiter when it was evil
dent to all beholders that it was the inten-
ton of his assailants to kill him. The
investigation of the affair was postponed
till O'Clock. 1t is believed that the evil
dence will be very contradictory. Mr..
Herbert is in the hands of the Marshal
2. S. Mr.. Herbert has been placed in
custody of the Marshal, to undergo a regu-
lar trial for the offence. His counsel has
applied to the criminal judge forhis release,
on writ of habeas corpus.

A STRONG CASE FOR THE oIDL1Nn
WIGS

The Editor of the Ripley (N1ississippi)
Advertiser makes out q strong case for the
consideration of such of the old-line Wings
as have refused all connexion with the
knowNothings. He says:
"lf, as the leaders of the Know Nothing
party now assert, and we believe truly, the
issues between Wings and Democrats no
longer exist; if they have passed away, and
there is now no matter of dispute between
them. why may they not unite and act to-
gether as brethren! Can any one tell1 If
one of our churches were to lay aside its
and cease to exist as a BODY.
surely the members of the dissolved church
would have right to worship in any neigh
boring church they might prefer, or even
TO become members of 1t. Yet how the
order perseoutes Wing who prefers Demo-
cracy to it."

A SNAKE COMBAT.

Combats between the rattle and black
snake are certain if they meet, and the
black snake is, with rare exceptions, the
conquerer. Upon seeing each other, these
animals instantly assume their respective
attitudes of defiance and display the great
difference in their organization. The rat
tlesnake coils itself up, ready for attack or
defence the black snake, being con-
strictor, moves about from side to side, and
is in constant activity-naturally exciting
each others passions. The rattlesnake
finally settles down into glowing exhib.
ton of luminosity, its fangs exposed, its rat.
ties in constant agitation. The black SNAKE
seemingly conscious that the moment Of
strife has come, now commences circling
round its enemy, absolutely moving so
swiftly that it seems but CLEAN of dull
light; the rattlesnake attempts to follow
the movement, but soon becomes CONFUSED
and drops its head in despair then it d
that the black snake darts upon the back
of its deadly foe, seizes it between its teeth
and springing upwards, envelopes the rattle
snake in its folds. The struggle, though
not long, is painful; the combatants roll
over in the dust, and get entangled in the
bushes ; but every moment the black snake
is tightening its hold, until the rattlesnsks
gasps for breath, becomes helpless, and
dies. For awhile the black snake stillre
tains its grasp; you can perceive its mus
cles working with energy; but fnallyt
cautiously uncoils itself and quietly betaka
to the water, where. recovering its energy Il
it dashes about moment as if in exutatOn
and disappears from the scene.

LATER FROM KANSAS,

The Lawrence correspondent of the St.
Louis Democrat says that Colonel Sumner
was encamped opposite Lawrence, with 100
men, dragons. He had addressed letter
to Gov. Robinson stating that the attack on
Sheriff Jones had produced great excite
ment throughout the territory and the from
tier of Missouri. and urging on the people
of Kansas the Importance of ferreting out
and bringing the assassin to justice. He
says also that the offence has been reported
at Washington, and that any order received
from there will be carried out

FLORIDA INDIANS TO BE RE-
MOVED.

The Tallahassee Sentinel of the Goth ult.,
states that Gov. Broome since his return
from the seat of the general government has
fully committed himself to the removal of
the Indians by force. There are now in
the service of the State and general govern
ment, together, one thousand and six hun
dred men, and the commanding officer in
Florida has authority to receive "such ad-
ditional force as may from time to time be
required" This his excellency thinks is a
sufficient force to adequately protect the
frontier, and that this protection will be
continued.

DETERMINED DUELIsTs,

An account of the duel between DIR.
Wilkins and j. Flanner, commission
merchant of Wilmington, N. c., has been
given. The Baltimore Sun says:
On the first fire, the ball of the latter cut
off part of the Doctors ear; the second
fire put his ball through the Doctors hat.
Nothing daunted, the latter coolly remarked
that his hat was a new one-and desired
that 1t should not be aimed at. The seconds
here interposed, and used their best en-
deavors to reconcile the difficulty, but with
out success. The combatants then re-
sumed. when the Inflated Doctor was killed
at the first fire.

CHILDREN IN ILLINOIS.

The st. Louis Pilot, of the 22d, has the
following: Are the children fair specimens
of the ''Sucker'' children?
There yesterday arrived in this city two
of the most surprising freaks of nature in
the form of human beings that we, or, we
believe any one else, ever had the fortune
to witness. They are boy and girl,
aged respectively fifteen and ten years,
born and bred on farm in Goodman county,
Illinois, about sixty miles hence The boy
is well grown, of the average height, but
weighs ouer four hundred pounds. His
name is Preston Hundlestone; he is sensi-
BILE, easy in converse, and enjoys excellent
health, notwithstanding that his immense
weight precludes his taking much exercise.
His sister, Juliania, is ten years of age, and
weighs oUer three hundred pounds. She
also is well formed, intelligent, and, for her
size, extremely active. Their father and
mother are yet living, and are both some
what spare in habit. The former informed
us he had four other children, some older
and some younger, but none of them showed
any disposition for such adiposity.

CONDITION OF WALKER IN
NICARAGUA.

The accounts in relation to the success
OF Walker at the battle of Rivas are some
what contradictory. The Washington Star
says: "Our private advices assure US that
in the recent battle of Rivas Walkers loss
was l56 men, and not 80. as published in
WIS newspaper; and further, that the
Costa kIoans lost $50 men in that engage
ment' and not 800. as that paper published.
AS we anticipated, he and his fllibusters
are at the mercy of the Costa Ricans, who,
to the number of 5000, have cut off all his
hope of supplies and reinforcements from
the United States. His ammunition has
also given out. His force (according to
himself) is about ], ZOO Americans and ! 300
natives"

The WAY TO GET A. CLAIM.-Horace
Greedy thus write to the Tribune
II have been told that man who had
an indisputable claim on the Government
for four or five thousand dollars, danced
attendance at the Capitol for two or three
sessions to no purpose. At length an old
Member who knew the ropes, struck by his
pertinacity, called him aside, and gave him
the benefit of some volunteer counsel. INV
FRIEND" said he, II see you are green, long
as you have been in Washington. Just
withdraw your papers and increase your
claim to twenty or thirty thousand. Then
promise thousand to this one and two
thousand to that and SO on through list
of half dozen who can help you, and of
course on the contingency of your gaining
your claim. If you should be cut down
little, you can afford it." The claimant
thankfully took the advice. acted on it, and
in due time carried home his honest due and
little more" By brides of this kind, false
swearing is obtained, and the Government
no doubt often swindled.
