NEW GRANADA.

A serious difficulty has arisen, between the Uni
ted States and New Granada, in relation to the
depredations and massacre of American citizens
on the Isthmus last year. Tile United States,
through Commissioner Morse, has made the fol-
lowing propositions to the Granada Government; (;
First To constitute the cities Of Panama and
Aspnwall two independent municipalities and in
vest them with the powers of self-govenment, ex-
tentling over the territory ten miles wide on each
side of the rairoad-perfect freedom Of the transit
route-its neutrality and liberty guaranteed-the
sovereignty not to be changed, and other nations
to be invited to join in the guaranty.
Second. To cedc to the United States the full
sovereignty of two small groups of islands in the
bay of the Panama for q naval station, and oil
rights and privileges reserved in the railroad con-
tract, for ample considerations.
Third. To pay for the damages occasioned by
the outbreak of the 10th Of April.
Fourth. The sum to be paid by the United
States.
These proposals have been rejected by New
Granada, and counter claims set up. She claims
$3.50, 900 from the United States for damages done
at Panama, to New Granalian citizens, by Ameri-
cans on the 18th April, 1856, and declares that
the United States owe her reparation for the un-
civil conduct of the formers representative. In
the House of Representatives of New Granada, q
motion had been made to raise S500,000 for pre-.
paration against invasion by the Americans. The
future can only decide how the disp' IS to end.

THE EDGEFIELD ADVERTISER,

In glancing at its exchanges, takes occasion to
fatter itself in very delicate manner, while os-
tensibly the compliment is intended for the ENQuI-
RER. Listen to what it says
The Enquirer always does what some of our
other exchanges always do not, viz it sends US
one of its best printed copies. In some Offices it
seems to be the habit, to lay aside the palest and
most illegible sheets for exchanges; whereas, to
our view, they ought to be provided with the very
brightest and most inviting ones. The Enquirer,
acting upon this view, always comes like we'll
dressed sparkling-eyed visitor, with every linea-
ment palpably and Enthusiastically developed.
The advertiser is one of our most welcome ex-
changes, but we are not so partial as to send it
one of our best printed copies. We send the same
kind to all-raaders and exchanges. But we are
glad that it has spoken out on this subject, be-
cause we are tired ourselves of the joke of read.
ing half-printed sheets. If they must be sent to
any one-send such to mean, unpaying subscribers,
and let them first put out their stupid eyes, As
for ourselves, we can but protest in the words Of
the unfortunate Arthur,
s'Will you put out mine eyes?
These eyes, that never did, nor neve" shall
So much as frown on your"
But secondly we object to the compliment to
the District
"The present number reports the formation of
another Temperance Division in York. If we re-
member Alright, it is the third or fourth Division
formed in that District. May not York claim to
be the Banner District of Temperance in South
Carolina? The Enquirer is itself strong advo.
cate of this good cause"
York has not gained the title of the Banner
District in the Temperance cause by the formation
of three or four Divisions The last division, to
which the advertiser alludes is the tenth.

NORTHERN CLERGY.

"Her prophets are light and treacherous per-
sons: her priests have polluted the sanctuary,
they have done violence to the law"
Haggai, iii, iv.
The trial of the Rev. Mr. KALLocK, promi-
nent Baptist Minister in Boston, discloses the cor
ruption of Northern Society in an unmistakable
manner. That moral desolatiou which has blasted
all the virtues of the Puritan character has in
vaded the pulpit, and the sanctuary of God is des-
ecrated by ambitious and dissoute panderers to
the vitiated taste of corrupt people. After Mr..
KALLocK was convicted of the grossest impro-
priety of conduct, after the charges brought a.
gainst him were clearly proven, after the publci-
ty of his guilt, on the very next Sabbath, with
unabashed brow, he rises before crowded house
to interpret the oracles of God Fair ladies, fit
representatives of these1 at the North are strange
ly fascinated with the eloquence Of the Reverend
adulterer. HIS charitable congregation raise
without the least difficulty one thousand dollars
to defray the expenses of the trial, for they find
in him an acceptable guide, and dread lest in the

Mrs. A. has left an afflicted husband and four
small children to mourn loss, the full extent Of
which the future alone will enable them To realize.
The, deceased was one of those quiet, retiring
characters, whose worth eau be known only to
those who have access to the privacy Of the do
mestic circle. She was an affectiona to wife anda
devoted mother. Early in life, she had publicly
consecrated herself to the service of her Saviour;
and the evidence she gave Of her sincerity, was
consistent life. The most striking characteristics
of her piety, were humility, and conscientious
discharge of the duties Of the Christian. She
was o patient and submissive sufferer. And
though desiring to live for the sake of her dear
family; yet the announcement that death was at
the door, occasioned neither surprise or alarm

April came and We looked IN vain Tor Spring
Spring the balmy season of delight, when Nature
is won't to put on her robes of beauty and dis
play,
"Charms such rs were her gift
When the gray world was young"
Winter has gradually melted under the sweet
kisses of the genial South, and coyly the flowers
are peeping up from the earth which few days
ago was dreary and desolate. Who cannot say
with Willis,
"There is to me
A daintiness about these early flowers,
That touches me like poetry. They blow out
With such simple loveliness among
The common herbs Of pastures, and breathe
Their lives so unobtrusively. like hearts
Whose beatings are too gentle for the world"
May is here, the clouds of April still hover o.
round us, but from behind them, the sun sheds
down his beams occasionally in golden showers.
We are accustomed to associate May-day with
parties, May, queens, boquets, wreaths and gar
lands-all the beautiful things Of earth. The Ia
dies of the Yorkvlle Female College, made IN
attempt on Friday at Fishing Party, but the day
proved very unfavorable and after having their
ardor dampencd by q shower, they gave up the
piscatory excursion. On Saturday, they took the
town by surprise, by salyiDg forth like 'lcgion
of angels" each of the fair processionsts laying
tribute on the Spring flowers, which vainly at
tempted to rival the roses on their cheeks. 1t was
beautiful vision, but like all our glimpses o: an
gels-too brightto to last.
But bark Did ye not hear it? "Itis, it is
the cannons opening roar" No Stree, that is the
Fire Company making the Engine display its abil.
ity to put out On "unsquenchionable" fire. And
those boys who shout so vociferously in the rear
are neither the Allies nor the Gallo legions-
they are young Americans.
Among other "May Manifestations" the farm-
er will be most delighted with the warm and genial
showers on Monday last, 50 propitous to the
growing crops. We think without temerity or
fear Of being esteemed superstitious we may safe
ly predict that Spring has come to make q 'visi-
tation" this time. If we guess wrong, we should
like to know when she will come to stay.
