The difficulties between oar Government and this
Republic seem waxing warm. All the propositions
offered by the United States for an arrangement of
afElirs have been denied, and claim for indem-
mig the part of our citizens for the Panama riot
is received in the language given below. 1t will be
remembered that we claimed S400, 900 damages to
which the Grenadiar government resorts by demand
ing in their return the sum of 150 900 dollars stating
that labor under great mistake, and that instead
of their bull having gored OK, it was our bull
that had gored theirs.
at is exceedingly painful that owing to substan-
tal mistakes and jim consequence of unjust preiueil
ces, disturbance of So grave nature should have
arisen in the old and constantly friendly relations
between two republics of the New World, very dis

Another horrible murder has just come to light
near NewburS, y. Y
On Wednesday last, farmer, on going out
to sow grain in a plowcd field, found the dead
body of a woman, nearly naked and exhibiting
marks Of violence which indicated that she had
been murdered and thrown over the fence A
closer examination showed that the woman,
since identified as one Sarah Bloom, had been
killed by blow on the head, which crushed
her skull that her rings, money, if she had
any, and outer garments had been carried
away or else that the murder had been CON-
mitted elsewhere and the body removed from
the scence to avoid suspicion. The ohly arti-
Gle of dress found near her was one of her
shoes, which was on the other side of the
fence cameo breastpin was found a few
yards further off, which would seem to Indicate
that the clothes had been taken from the body
on the spot and this pin dropped by accident.

THE idea that the mysterious disease at the Ma
tonal Hotel at Washington, was the result of an
effort to poison Mr.. Buchanan seems to find ncreas-
ed credence. The Philadelphia Peamsylran,an even
ventures to suggest it as follows.
90 There are certain condolences connected with
this subject which suggestive of the most hor-
rhle suspicious, but for the honor of human nature
we hope they may be unfounded. Mr.. Buchanan
arrived at the National Hotel the Goth of Janua-
ry. On the next day, Dr. Hall was sent for to see
the first few days afterwards he had thirty
five cases, and quite large number took sick many
of them after leaving Washington. Mr.. buchanan
was among the latter. The symptoms in all cases
were the same-v'oent, copous purging. inlama-
ton OF the large intestines, with constant disps
ton to relapse During an interval of several weeks
previous to the second of March, no new cases ap-
peared. On the evening of that day Mr.. Buchanan
returned to Washington, and about that period the
Hotel was crowded with visitors. On the fourth of
March the disease broke out with increased violence
and many hundreds were affected. The symptoms
uniformly indicate poison which some physicians
consider of miasnlic and others of mineral char
acter-probably copper No satisfactory calculation
Of the mystery has yet been made

"GoING IN FOR RYNpERs Tho Columbia
Is c. Times thus felicitates itself upon the
appointment of Capt. Ryndcrs as U. S. Marshal
fer the Southern District of New York
"When it was announced that the famous
Ryndcrs was appointed T. S. Marshal for the
District Of New York, we confess the news did
not affect us with remarkable pleasure, We
were one of those who distrusted the Captain on
account of some of his antecedents; but ifhe will
bnt perform what he promises, we declare our
selves his fast friend forever We see from the
Mobile Tribune that the Black Republican
papers don't like the appointment of Rynders
as U. S. Marshal for the New York District.
Rynders is jolly stout fellow and has pluck,
aud knows the rascals around him. He is just
the man fer the office. Suppose fugitive from
the south arrives within his balwick. Ryndcrs
will know it forthwith. The underground road
isinet deep enough to hide the dark doings OF
abolitioilism from him. And having the news,
which will Rynders do? Why, he Il take the
fugitive into custody, and ill the powers of the
Blacks won't prevail against him. The knavcs
know this, and, therefore, are Disconnected with
the appointment. We go i'll tor Rynders."
We advise the shareholders not to calculate
with too much confidence upon the su5tcrrancan
enterprise of our new Marshal. The rcdoubtaLlc
Captain is used to 'grubbing under ground"
but the track of that mysterious railroad has
baflled the search of bloodhound, of keener
scent than his. We perceive that he is begin
ming to exhibit u warm interest in spirituaIisn.
If he hopes to obtain from tie spirits of the
departed the light that shall guide him in the
pursuit Of the fugacious chattels of his Southern
friends, We fear he may be as much disappoint-
cd as was the Virginia slaye-hunter of whom
we gave an account last week.

THE E1LLrBUrER DEFEAT IN MEXICO.

Many of our reaoers know something of the past
life Of HENRY A. CABB, of Mississippi. Some nine
yesrs ago, in stree fight Of most sanguinary ma.
ture, he killed jenkins, of the Vicksburg Wing. He
afterwards moved toCalifornia, energetic sort
Of man in all bis undertakings, and was invited to
make an invasion nto Nicaragua before Walker
This however, Cratb declined; but recently at the
suggestion Of number of frends, entered the north
west portion of me1cD, Sonora, at the head OF small
band where according to reports lately received his
career with that of nost Of bis followers has been cut
short.
From accounts it appears that on the LIST of April
detachment of the Nitional Guard, commanded by
Capt. Lorenzo Rodriguez, met in the village Of Car
by way of Sonoyta, ofwhch village they had taken
possession. They w,re vigorously attacked, Capt.
Rodriguez being morally wounded at the onset and
two Of the Of the National Guard falling at the
same time. Crabb had his thigh broken, and eight
Of his men we're killed. 1t was then ascertained that
another detachment Of about thirty 6libusers were
advancing by way of 1ubutama. On the I'd the 6rst
named were besieged in two houses in front of the
church, surrounded by TWO hundred and fifty to three
hundred men; but the Sonorians were still without
leaders. Later, Lieut. Colonel Jose Maria Jron and
Capt. Haro Gabionda arrived with more forces and
artillery. On the Sd Mr. Samuel Elias Pro, who had
marched against the ffllbusters, coming by way of
Tubutama, also returned to CsbOrca.
The Sunorians were thus strongly reinforced, and
pushed their operations against the illibusters. At
nghtall 9th OF The two houses above referred
TO was fred, and at tie same time Mr. Ellis entered
into the corral court OF yard OF the house. The FIRE

Of large company of ladies and gentlemen, present

Denver. Mr. Kinman thereupon addressed the Pre-

in which he held him as statesman. and expressing
the pleasure with which he hailed him as Chief Ma
eis,rate of the Union. He himself was Pennsyl-
Vanian, and was born at Unontown. When quite

The President responded in the courteous manner
for which he is distinguished, and said that he had
no doubt that Mr.. knInan was honest, sincere, aud
brave, like people Of the frontier to which he
belonged, who could be led by Kindness, but never
could be driven by force. He would accept the chair
with great deal of PLEASURE and would keep it as
a memento Of the occacion. He would now sit down

he was loudly ap.laaded.
General Denver then introduced to the President
DR.. q. NJ. Wozencraft, of California. who spoke on
behalf of the Californians and Mr.. Kinman, making
appropriate allusion to the fact that the chair consist
ed of the horns of thirteen bucks, and had thirty
salient points.
Shortly after the conclusion of DR.. Wozencraft's
speech, the President, in the of brief oolo

home to Pennsylvania he would take the chair with
him. He then inquired where Mr.. Kinman had

SHANKS' MARE,
1.-THE HORSE i RIDE MOST"

Just listen, dear Esprit" I've taken to rhyming,
And would speak Of my horse without meaning to
boast,
Although it ne or goes at pace that's worth timing,
Il still is the nag that ride the most.
For ferty past seasons she has carried me safely,
Yet now, to appearance, is just 10 her prince
Though not quite 80 antio she still goes it bravey,
And ia bound to 90 through, only give her the tme'
IT'S true that sometimes she gets jaded and tired,
And 10 not perhaps in condition to show,
When none but tyrant, with horse he had hired'
Would then hove insisted on making her 60.
At such times as these she'd nearly give under,
When few hours resting would bring her all right;
And she seldom is known to stumble or blunder,
Excepting at times when her owner gets tight.
Perhaps 'twould be we'll to speak of her keeping
With what ease to the will of her mastet she's bent;
Like the steed of the Arab, she does all her sleeping
Along with her owner in the very same tent
She goes at my bidding without saddle or bride,
But seldom If ever, 10 allowed to 90 bare;
In whatever am doing she never is idle,
For in ali Of my labors she takes her full share.
The sportsman may brag of his two.forty fyer
And back up his speed with what cash he can spares
But I'm bound to take it and bet him still higher,
That oan out 20 him with Shanks's old mare.

A RARE BIRD.

DR.. Thurston. of Van Buren,, Arkansas. recently
shot bird which puzzles the Oldest settlers, hunters
aud nsturasts, in that latitude, some of whom think
It bittern and others stork. The Intelligencer
describes it thus:
Height when standing five feet three inches,
breadth of wing six feet eight inches, length of back
nine inches. Upon the whole it was master spec-
men of the bird kind, possessing the strangest and
most fantastic coat of plumsge that we have ever
looked upon; as the exterior of an American fowl,
its plumage the scapular region being as black as
raven, and resembling the ostrich feathers, whilst
ito head, back neck and sides, gaudiy bedecked
with long delicate ribbon like features of every hue
and color that belong to the rainbow hung in clusters
and wreaths about his graceful birdshp, beautiful
beyond all conception, unless compared with the ia
bird of Paradise. 1t proved to be not only an
ea,sbe bird, but one Of the most delicious fowls We
have ever eaten Of"
