Nh. BUCHANAN IN SOUTH OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
tions have been offered in the House of Assem-
bly of South Carolina in relation to Governor
Walkers policy in Kansas, and the course pur-
sued by Mr. Buchanan in retaining him in Office
They denounce the President As well as the Gov
ernor, aud charge the former AS doing his worst
against the South. Mr. Buchanan has a difficult
game to play. He is, a already minated, be-
tween two fires. In the North he is censured,
because the Washington Union, the official jour
nal OF the Administration, advocates the Lee
compton Constitution as it is, aud in the South
he is asSaisd, because he will not go sufficiently
far, and ut once remove the offending Governor.
How this difference of opinion in the Democra
tic ranks will be reconcled, we are at loss to

TIE FILLlBrsrER ExpEpITIoS.-There is a
prevalent impression, which every day tends to
strengthen, that Gen. William Walker and his
advanced corps Of the new Fillbuster expedition
have fouud graves beneath the waters OF the
Gulf. The steamer Fashion which bore them
away was not A No in sea going qualities,
and the long time which has elapsed since she
left without tidings from her justities apprehsn,
sions that she has gone to the bottom with all
on board. The California steamer, due at New
York this week, will probably bring some intel,
ligence of the expedition if it has succeeded in
reaching any of the Central American ports.

WASHINGTON ITEMs-Hon. Robert J. Walker,
Governor of Kansas arrived at Washington on
Friday evening, greatly to the relief OF the Ad-
ministration leaders. who feared that he had et
fected a new coup dstat, by hurried Journey
to Kansas, so that he might supersede the new
acting Governor, Mr.. Denver. Gov. Walker
has been closeted with Senator Douglas, consult
ing on the best course to be adopted by them.-
He will Issue an address to the people, defining
his position, as soou as it can be prepared.
1t is stated in confidential circles that the
Democratic delegation from Indiana have had a
long interview with the President, in the course
of which they said that in full consultation they
could not support the Lecompton Constitution
after the expose of Senator Douglas. There can
be no doubt that such a consultation was held
