THE HUNGER EXCITEMENT.

The following extract presents the latest phase
of the Jacobinical spirit of New York:
The United States troops have been Withdrawn
from Wall street, oil present danger of attack up
on the Sub Treasury BY the hunger mob having
passed. Gen. Scott, however, and his subordi-
mates, are still on the qu vipe and On ample force
is kept under arms in more comfortable quarters
than the custom house, ready for service at mo-
ment's warning.
We have a variety of rumors afoat in relation
to various schemes which were on foot for getting
at Uncle Sans five million in the Sub Treasury,
and the agitation of which probably induced Mr..
Cisco, United States Assistant TT ,asurer here, to
take the precaution of calling ,pou the authori-
ties OF Washington for Federal means of protec-
lection. One of these rumors was, that arrange
ments had been made to blow up barrel Of gun
powder in vault near the custom house, about
the time of the passing of7the working mems pro-
cession. Such an event would naturally create
much excitement, and bring together on immense
crowd of idlers, whom it would be easy to lead TO
an attack on the Treasury and its tempting gold
bags.
Notwithstanding the cction of the Common
Council in appropriating S250000, to be expen-
ded upon the Central Park, the unemployed work.
ing men are we'll aware that this will afford them
no immediate relief. The city treasury is bank
rupt, and the loan authorised in order to raise the
money has to be advertised thirty days before the
bids can be opened. Efforts are making to antici-
pate the loan to the extent of $780, 000 but it is
at least doubtful whether it can be DONE The
unemployed, consequently, though less boistsrous,
still keep up their meetings. They assembled
again yesterday morning in Tompkins Square, to
the number of perhaps 500 of the working men,
to which twice the number Of the tsswell-mob''
were added. Secretary MCGUIRE" who had

FOREIGN ITEMS.

The latest advices from Europe bring the fol-
lowing news items:
Delhi has been taken by the English with n loss
of 600 men. The King of Delhi effected his es-
cape Lucknow still held out. Considerable re-
Inducements had arrived at Calcutta Mr.. Ten
Broeck's horses, P1ioress and Babylon were beaten
in the Cambrdgeshre stakes. Gen. Cayaignnc is
dead The Spanish Ministry had been organized.
The Swiss elections were largely in favor of the
Liberty party The health of the King Of Prus-
sia was improving. The Prince had undertaken
to conduct PUBLIC affairs. The Liverpool borough
Bank had suspended, and several heavy failures
had occurred in that. city. More failures had
been announced in Tienna, but it was thought the
worst of the crisis was passed. r. :
The following additional details were brought
by the arabia: 49,.
= The British troops assaulted Delhi onthe 18th
Of Setember, and effected o lodgment after six
days obstinate resistance. On the Goth they had
entire possession of the city. Great numbers Of
the mutineers escaped, and among them were the
King Of Delhi and his two sons Fifty British Of
fcers were killed. Gen. Havelock had started to
raise the siege of Lucknow. Fears were enter
tanned of a new outbreak at Assard. The news
from the Bombay Presidency was favorable, al
though few cases Of dissatisfaction had occur

RAIL ROAD ACCIDENT.

.sWelearn that Mr.. MATTHEW CnAwPoRD of Colum-
bia, was killed on the Rail Road few miles this
side Of Charlotte on the night of the 10th. No
one saw him at the time, but it is supposed that
in passing from one to another, h" fell between
them and was crushed to death. ., is only when
some terrible occurrence happens, that We learn
the lessons Of caution. We have known frequent
instances of similar accidents, and the wonder is
that no measure has been taken to guard against
them. 1t would be nm easy matter to make the
passage from one car to another safe. There is no
necessity for m intermediate space between them,
and the railing might be improved so as to render
accidents of this kind iu the future almost impos-
sihle $50. -........ ....,

We find in the Columbia Times Che following
specula,ions among the friends Of Gen. WALKER
in New York, who are much elated by the news Of
his departure from New Orleans:
Nobody, however, knows exactly what his plans
are. Some think it not improbable that he may
have gone to Yucatan to take part with the revolu
tonsts there against the Government with the ulti
mate purpose Of proceeding to Nicaragua from
that point.
glance at the map will show that the peninsula
Of Yucatan presents most inviting field for fiji
buster enterprise. Its best port is less than two
days distant from New Orleans, and would be Of
immense advantage to Walker, as depot for con-
centrating supplies of men and munitions of war,
without danger of molestation from any foreign
government, and quite beyond legal reach of that

danger of his being overtaken.
The q. 8. sloop ofwar Saratoga, well known to
be laying off the mouth of the. San Juan, will
prove equally inefficient in its efforts to intercept

of the San Juan,) thirty miles distant from Grey

long before the Saratoga can overtake them.

KANSAa.

From this territory we have received intelli-
gence sufficiently late to outline the general course
of policy which will be adopted by the Coustita-
tonal Convention. On the fourth day Of their
session the following preamble and sections were
adopted:
PREAMBLE. The right of property is before and
higher than any Constitutional sanction, and the
right of the owner of slave to such slave and Its
increase is the came and as inyiolabe ss the right
TO any property whatever. = =,
SEC. 1. The Legislature shall have no power to
pass laws for the emancipation Of slaves without
the consent of their owners, or without paying their
owners, previous to their emancipation, full
equivalent in money.for the slaves so emancipated
They shall have no power to prevent emigrants to
this State from bringing with them such persons
rs are deemed slaves by the laws Of any one Of
the United States or Territories, 80 long as any
person of the same age description shall be con-
tinued in Slavery by the laws Of this State; pro-
vided that such person or slave be the bona fde
property of such emigrant; and provided also that
laws may be passed to prohibit the Introduction
into this State of slaves who have committed high
crimes In other States or Territories. They shalt
have power to pass laws to permit the owners Of
slaves to emancipate them, saving the right OF
creditors, and preventing them from becoming o
public charge. They shall have power to obfge
the owners Of slaves to treat them with humanity,
to provide for them necessary food and clothing,
to ar stain from all injuries to them extending to
life or limb and in case Of their neglect or, refu:
sal to comply with the direction Of such laws, to
have such slave or slaves sold for the beneht OF
tho owner or owners. ...-
Sec In the prosecution of slaves for crimes
of higher grade than petit larceny, the Legislature
shall have no power to deprive them of an impair
tial trial by q petit jury.
SEC. 8. Any person who shall malieiously dis
member or deprive slave of life shall suffer such
punishment as would be inflicted in case the like
offence had been committed on free white per-
son, and on like proof, except in case Of insurrec-
tion of such slave.
From the spirit of this preamble, it is probable
that the Constitution will not be submitted to the
people We learn from private sources that DR..
T. B. WA1TEsIDEs of this District, was elected to
the Legislature. He is o staunch Southerner, and
will not be wanting when the rights of the South
are in jeopardy.
