A gust Compliment.

The Liverpool Times, with less pre-
tensions than its London namesakc,
understands American politics and
American character much better
Commenting on our late Presidcn tial
olectlon,it is thus pays US acomplimcnt
which no other people yet merit:
cit is amazing how soon party spir-
its, carried to the verge of excess, sub
sides in the United States when the
will Of the people becomes known
The minority bow with instructive res
pect to that numerical prepondcrancc
which it is the genius of the American
Constitution to represent. However
fierce the struggle, however superhu-
man the efforts which have been made
to secure victory, tho belligerents,
when the battle is over, lay down their
arms without forfciting each Others
respect. 1t requires a long course of
educational training in practical free
dom to obtain this control, but it is
possessed by the Americans to an ex-
tent unknown in any other country
where free institutions exist; and the
solution of the enigma must be looked
for in the fact that every man feels
himself an atom in the great total =
the equal of the foremost in the land;
and the sclf-respect so generated pays
to the State the homage of an ungrudg-
ing submission. Men deserve to be
free who can make such sacrifices for
individual opinion, and yet yield with
patriotic philosophy to the course of
events which they cannot control. The
Union stands in little danger of disrup-
tion'whilc this noble sentiment animates
the breasts of American citizens"

Matters I'm Nicnragun.

The following extract Of private
letter from an intelligent A merican,
lately an officer in Gen. Walkersy army,
we find in tho New York Times:-
La VIRGIN. Nov, 25, 1856.
Gen. Walkers prospects look pretty
dark. He was obliged to retreat from
Massaya after fighting for iour days.
and he has'now moved his whole army
from Granada to this place, after laying
Granada in ruins. The enemy are now
in possession of the entire State, with
the exception of tho Transit road, and
they say they will have that soon.
A month ago there were between :
300 aud 1000 fighting men in the Gen
erals army; now there are not more
than 700 or 500 men fit for duty. and
against this small force are opposed the
entire allied forces Of Guatamala, San
Salvador and Costa RIGA, amounting to
some 5000 strong. am afraid they
will whip the Americans out at last.

THE PACIFIC RAILWAY.

We want one great line Of railway
to the Pacific coast, aud only one line
A century from now, when the vast Pa
ciic shore becomes settled when Ore
gon, Washington and Utah Territories
are. sovereign States, then il is possible
that two lines may be found necessary.
A railway to the Pacific, located in the
most advantageous section of the coun-
try, must necessarily pass over vast
expanse of desert territory. The ex-
peDse of constructing and maintaining
the line in such territory would be very
great. Noway travel could be expect
ed for many years. The entire revenue
would be obtained from through pas
sengeIs, mails aud express freight
Now, reckon the cost of the road, in.
terest on the money, the daily expenses,
and then estimate the income in the
most liberal style, and it will be found
that Pacific Railroad canaot pay more
than ordinary running expenses. As

an important law suit. Since that

fortune is now sufficient to enable him
to live at ease. Mr.. Pike was born

TRUE ENOUGH.

The New Orleans Bulletin suggests
the following wise method of defending
the rights of the South:
"The best way to defend the rights
of the South is to make vigorous and
extended assault upon old fields and di-
lapidated fences. The enemy is sure
to enter at every gap, and to lie con-
cealed in every brier-patch aud acre of
weeds he may discover. TO rout him,
horse, foot and dragooEs, it is necessa-
ry to set the plough and the spade 60
ing, and then to overwhelm him with
mountains of manure! Nothing like
manure for the rights Of the South, and
the expulsion Of its enemies. They
can't stand it at all. The g Virginia
and Kentucky Resolutions are no.
thing in comparison with it. They
may be attacked in front and rear, and
terribly shattered; but muck from the
swamps, and deep blowing, with a plen,
~ of it, will prove invulnerable. Cot
ton bales are but gossamer in potency,
placed beside heaps of muck" ..
EAo Next spring will afford a good
opportunity to begin four years ex,
pertinent to test the relative merits Of
'mach and 'Buck' for the rights of the
South. "Muck" is the very thing.
