The Fillibuster Expedition

The Aspinwall correspondent of the N.
Y. Herald, gives some additional in,elli-
gence about the movements of the late Fill
buster expedition.
On landing at Punta Arenas, WALKER
ordered Lieutenant Of the American ship
Saratoga, who was on shore, to go aboard
his vessel. He then proceeded with his
force up the Colorado river, to lis junction
with the San Juan, twenty miles above
Greytown, and took possession Of Leaps
Island. A party Of twenty men was then
dispatched five miles above, TO take posses
sion of place called Fort Anderson, OIL the
plantation Of Senior Pataka, a Spanish sub
ject, on the Costa RIGA side: WALKER, in the
meantime, remained with al men on Leaps
Island, TO await reiniorcements. A steam
er from Savannah, and brig from Calves
ton were expected daily, with fresh troops
The Ncaraguance, with $50 men, hold San
Carlos, though it was blocSoded by Canley,
the Costa Ricnn General, by steamer on
the Lake. The Costa Ricans also hold the
rapids. Public opinion at Greytown was
against WALKER, and, it was said, he would
be starved out in six weeks.

Broughton's Corn Planter.

' Messrs. Morgan and Groh, who can be
found at Thxton's Hotel, have the exclu-
ssive right to make, vend and sell the above
Corn Planter, in Galloway, Boone, Howard
and Charlton counties. 1t is new inven.
ton, having only been patented last spring
As no one will buy without seeing the ma
chine, we need not give descriptive no
,ice; but will only say, in general terms
that it combines simplicity, durability, &C
curacy and regularity in planting, and is 81
easily handled that mere boy can plant a.
fast as a team can mark the furrow. 1t il
cheap, too. We advise our farmers to cal
and examine it, and see it tested.

Kansas and the Administration.

II seems the administration had secret
agent at Lecompton, while the Constitution.
al Convention was in session, and that he
went out with instructions to that body, the
result of which are shown in the manner in
which the constitution was submitted TO the
people. When the plan sent out was adopt
ed, the agent informed the Government, by
telegraph, and this accounts for the WASH
ngton Unions" understanding the whole
affair, before even the people of Kansas
knew what had been done. That paper
struck out boldly, but its party refused to
follow.
This agent is again back in Kansas, hav'
ing gone up with the new Secretary, MI
Denver, and from sundry intimations, we
draw the inference that he went back tc
see that "the Constitution with no Slavery.
SHOULD BE ADOPTED. The administration
then, dictated the plan Of submitting the Con-
slitution, which was over fair 10 the South
and then set itself to work to procure ths
rejection Of the slavery clausc,to appease the
North. This is administering the govern
ment for the whole people, one section at {
time) and carrying out the great principle
of popular sovereignty, with vengeance
When the result of the election is know n
and the part the administration agent acted
therein, we shall have more to say on tn,

Tha Panic.

The U. S. Economist, Of New York, in
treating Of the panic, says,
When the New York Banks suspended,
October II, they held about 81, 900, 900 spe
Gle in their vaults. At that time, in conse.
quence Of the violent contraction they had
remorsely enforced, nobody, not the most
solvent could pay. The usual medium was
wanting. There were, consequently, no re-
mittances to Europe. Gradually the mer-
chants. with their accustomed yigor, have
realized their own resources, and the remit.
tances Of specie to England since Nov. Is,
have been over 81 900 900, or more money
than the New York banks held at that time.
and the specie in the city now, after these
remittances, is over $40, 100000. Nothing
can more clearly demonstrate the real
strength of the commercial community,
placed in false position by faulty sys.
ten.
twill! be remembered that three events
precipitated the panic. The strange loss OF
! ST. 800, 900 gold in the Central America, the
failure of the Ohio Life and Trust Co., and
that of the Mechanics Banking Association
The loss Of the gold was remarkable coin
cidence at that time. Investigation has since
shown that the Ohio Life and Trust Co.
failed through the misconduct Of the ca asher,
and not from general causes; ana, further,
that the Mechanics, Banking Association
has not failed at all. 1t has paid up in full
and goes on with business with its assets.
The great strength of the banks shows that
merchants whom they compelled to suspend
have gradually been able to pay up in spite
Of them. Not sonly domestic creditors are
paid, blt foreign houses are now receiving
by each packet large remittances, the
momeniary interruption Of which caused
them so much inconvenience. In all direc-
lions we hear Of resumption of business by
those temporarily victimized by the banks
1t is true tnnsst some very bad failures have
resulted, but in al, eases clearly traceable
to individul causes-spscHlations in stocks
outside Of regular business, or extravaganza
or misconduct. There has been none Of the
general rottenness that attends commercial
revulsions. The machinery Of credit, on
which business was too confidently conduc-
ted, has been struck down, thereby preven-
ting the movement Of the great national
wealth Of the country. That movement will
take place, however, with new season OF
prosperity, we hope, on 4 counter basis.

Just as Spoken.

The Editor of the Congressional Globe
has determined, for the future, to publish
the speeches of members of Congress, just
as they are delivered, and not furnish proof
slips for revisals, emendation, &c., as here
,ofore. What is said, will be reported and
printed. We suppose, Of course, the report
ers will translate back-woods talk into good
english; but should they not do this, we ad.
wise some members from Missouri TO be
very careful how they open their mouths
This resolution of the Editor of the Globe
will make members more careful, and keen
them in their seats, when they have nothing
to say.

The Antics and Douglas.

What will they do? They have been in
many hard scrapes, but never in such one
os now. They voted for Douglas sir'een
times hand running, in the Cincinnati Con-
vention, against Buchanan, and shouted
from their seats to Richardson not TO with
draw him, when he was about to take him
off. Now, Buchanan and Douglas have
split. Buchanan with the loaves and fishes,
and Douglas endorsed by their votes and
shouts, what will they do? Stick TO their
first love, or trail off after the loaves end
fishes?

Phrenology.

Our citizens were highly entertained four
evenings last week, by discussion on Pre-
nology, al the Female Seminary. Messrs.
Barker & Davy, practical Phrenoogists,
visited our place, with view 10 delivering
q course Of Lectures OH the subject, but not
obtaining room suitable for the purpose of
Lecturing and arranging their cabinet Of
specimens, husts, &c., discussion was ar
ranged on the following subject:
'Is Phrenology the science Of mind?"
Messrs. Barker and Davy affirmed.
Messrs. Simpson and Vaughan denied.
The speakers on both sides came up to
the work with good feeling and confidence
backed by distinguished authors, and per,
sons, both living and dead, whose views
personal appearance, and traits of character
were severally argued pro and con; Will,
mankind, generally mentally as well as bod
lily, underwent a general review and dissec
,ion-if such an expression may be literal,
applied 10 the mind. Our citizens are di
yided in sentiment, on the science Of Phre
nology, and Of course they stood by tn
speakers who defended their views, par
claiming that the affirmative were victorious
and part that the negative carried the day.
We shall not interpose our judgment, Blu
in common with all parties, join in thanking
the gentlemen who SO freely gave their time
and the benefit of their study and research
for the general edificaiion and amusement
No one could have attended the discussio
without learning something, while the pub
lie examination of heads pleased all, savln
perhaps, the subjects themselves.

Dr.. Barker is now delivering regula

Twenty Years Hence.

St. Louis, December 10, 1857.

"Ion," of the Baltimore Sun, reasons that
there will be another financial revulsion in
the United States twenty years hence-say
in 1877. 1t will be attended by greatly Diff
ierent results from those which mark the
present one. Through the agency Of immi
grafton, and by the rapid development Of
internal elements of wealth, the United
States will, by that time, have become the
most prosperous and powerful nation on the
globe, commercially, indu>trially and politi'
cally. The throne OF Commerce may ever
be transferred from London 10 New York
and financial dominancy from Europe TO The
New World. A crash here, then will b'
q crash in the centre of the business world
which would be followed by dlsasirou
prostration in Europe.
