THE OFFICE SEEKERS AND THE PREs1-
DENT.-A Washington correspondent of
the Philadelphia American says:
Pennsylvania has, by all odds, the numerical
advantage over other States in representation
at Washington just now. Whole hosts of
patriots from the interior swarm the hotels.
line the avenues, and almost besicee the
White House. There were never so MANY
individual men before, who by their own
devoted efforts decided Presidential elec-
ton. The sutferings of the President are
intolcrable. lie is beset, night and day, by
hungry applicants, who made no allowance
Tor the necessary tortures Of official routine.
and less for the physical debility consequent
upon the ves,igcs Of a scourging epidemic.
Still he bears up resolutcy, and it is feared
ny his real friends, with too much effort, to
meet the requirements Of exac.ing politi-
clans. The rc-establishment Of his health
needs reposc, anu he gets only excitement.
No constitution, at Mr.. Buchanan's period
OF life, can stand this constant strain upon
the energies of mind and body. Harrison
and Taylor were both victims of the Presiden-
tial office, notwithstanding all the medical
reasons that were alleged to prove differ
ent theory, and it is to be hoped Mr.. Buch-
anan, for lis own sake, and for public con-
siderations will first consult his duty to him.
self before yielding to the pretended claims
Of desperate office.seekers.

Flowers.


They spring unnoticed and unknown,
Mid rocky wilds they bloom,
They flourish mid the desert lone,
They deck the silent tomb,
They cheer the PEASANTS lowly cot,
Adorn the monarch's hall,
They fill each quiet, shady spot
O, who can tell them ALL
Some DER the murm'ring streamlet fling
Their blossoms bright and fair >
And there, in veneral beauty, spring.
Famed by the fragrant spring.
Some meath the oceans rolling waves
In silent grandeur grow,
Nor heed the storm which Ger them raves
But still in beauty blow,
Some where the eagle builds her nest,
Where man has never trod,
Where even the cl,amois dare not rest
Upon the crumbling sod
Yes, there, cen there, wild now'rcts grow
In richest dress arrayed,
And DER the clamorous caglest throw
Their light and graceful shade.
Mid mountains of perpetual snow,
by icy gir,llcs bound,
Some, rendered doubly beautcous glow,
And deck the frozen ground.
And mid cold winters angry storm,
The snow.lr, p real its head,
And shows its pure, unspotted form
When other flowers have fled.
Some on the breezes of the night
Their grateful odors send;
While Others children of the light,
To-day their perfume lend.
Some bloom beneath the torril zone,
Meath In.lins sultry skies;
Mid lccland's mountains, chill and lone,
The forms Of Others rise.
The stately fern. the golden broom,
The lily, tall and fair
All these III rich succession bloom,
And scent the summer air.
In secret dell, by murin'ins rill-
In gardens bright and gay
Within the vallcy-on the hill
Flowers cheer our toilsome way!
Flowers image forth the boundless love
God bears his children all,
Which ever dropreth from above
Upon the great and small:
Each blossom that adorns our pa4i,
So joyful and so fair,
Is but a drop of love divine,
That fell and flourished there.

INTERESTING FROM NICARAGUA.-The
New York Herald publishes the following
intelligence from Nicaragua, which il
claims to he reliable.
| Gen, Walkers forces have licked the
Costa Ricans in four fights. The enemy
lost several hundred; our loss in all does
not exceed ten. Col. Lockbrilre and Ger.
Wheat have done well. The cannon. the
ton OF powder. the caps and rifles from
New York arrived just in time at Grey
ton for the men, and Col. Titus and they
retook in one day the boats (stcamer in
cluded) in the river and up to the lake.
Gen. Walkers forces have taken Serapi-
qui and CASTILLO, and are driving the en-
emy before them. He has before this the
whole lake and transit route in his poss.
esslon. lie has been reinforced from the
Pacific side, and the English and Amcr-
can merchants in Peru have sent him aid
and constrained President Castillo to DENY
assistance to the enemy. English mer-
chants III Liverpool and London have also
shown that they understand the interests
OF their country and the advance of civil
lzatlon better than their rules though the
British government has not attempted to
prevent shipment Of arms and munitions to
our friends. The Panama Company and
the Costa Rican spectators in New York,
trying to sell transit stock, will suppress
the facts and lie them down. SO write
fully what you may rely on. Kinney has
gone to Panama, and will do all lie can a.

PARr1kG FnIENDs.-TLe correspondent
Of the Baltimore American writes from
Washington OH the 9th inst.
A pleasing incident transpired at the Ex
ecutlve Mansion OH Tuesday. Mr.. Alice,
President of the Common Council, was dis
missed from the Treasury Department
more than two years since, upon the charge
OF being Know-Nothing. The charge was
untrue, and Mr. Alice appealed to the Pres
ldent Tor redress, assuring the latter that
although he had forty ears been in favor of
Native American distinction in the dis
trlbution of Government offices, he was
not, had he been a member of the Know
Nothing order. The President replied that
"a person who had sworn to tell lie was
not 10 be believed" thus placed charge
OF perjury and a falsehoou upon Mr.. Al
lee
The latter at various times appealed to
Gen. Pierce to move the imputations but
no notice was taken of the letters But on
the day mentioned, when the Corporation,
and larger number of the Presidents per
sonal friends had assembled in the East
loom, and the addresses and responses had
been made, Gen. Pierce walked up to Mr..
Alice and grasped his hand in silence
Mr.. A. said, Mr.. President, I wish you all
future happiness" "Afr Atlee," said Gen.
Pierce, 81 thank you And if at anv
time, | have marrcd yours, I here ask your
pardon" The speakers themselves were
both deeply affected, and most of fthose pre-
sent, being familiar with the circumstances
which elected the response were compelled
to give way to their feelings. This little
episode stamps Gen. Pierce as man of
much feeling and great magnanimiy.

GREAT EXCITEMENT IN SOUTHWEST MIS-
souRT.-Grcat excitement existed in and
about Golden Grove, Barton county, Mo-,
last week, owing to large company of men
called "S!ickers" going in pursuit of man
named Smith, an alleged horse thief. Those
''Siickers," it appears. all got drunk. and
the St. Louis lntclligcncer says they slicked
near dozen men on charges of ha,boriny
or being friends of Smith-some of them
are said to be peaceable citizens. Some of
them were whipped so severely that their
lives are despaired of. Two orthree females
who interf.red were beat and bruised up.
and the persons Of several females violated.
Neither age or sex were spared during Mon
day and Tuesday. They went to the house
OF E. Smith, and cut open his beds and pour
ed out the featbers-took his meat and
corn and throwed them to their hogs, and
turned bis wife and children out of doors.
But on "Wednesday they became alarmed
at their own reckl essness, and ceased opera
tlons after compelling the inhabitants to Ay
for their lives.

DARING OrrnAeE.-Last night, be-
tween eight and nino o'clock, Mr.. Me-
Creight, attached to tho editorial dcpart-
mcnt of this office, on his way to depart
tor Camden, with a carpet bag in his hand,
was struck down i'll Haync street with a
b:udgeon, by some persons who approached
h,m from behind, and during the inscnsi
bllity which followed the blow, was robbed
OF his purse and watch. There was a vi.
olent conclusion Of the brain, and he did
not recover his senses for several hours af
ter. But DIR. Raoul, who was called in,
expi essed his confidence that there would
be no fatal result. 1t was evidently a
simple case of violence, for the sake Of
robbery. Such things are rare in Charles
ton, and we trust that the city authorities
will use their best exertions to make them
still more rare.-- Charleston Mercurv.
