GEN. HENNINGsEN TO GEN. Glass;
Gen. Henningsen has addressed letter to
Gen. Cass, setting forth certain alleged
violations of the Convention at Rivas, con
cluded at the capitulation of Walker. One
of the stipulations of the Convention pro-
vided that native Nicaraguans, who had
sided with Walker, should be permitted to
remain unmolested in the country. Gen.
Henningsen asserts that this agreement
has been broken-that these men have been
forced to carry arms and to labor. and have
been prosecuted in various ways. Among
other instances of injustice, the case OF
Gen. Pinda is cited-that officer being now
compelled to work in chains on the Segovia
road. Gen. Henningsen demands the in
PREVENTION of our Government, inasmuch as
the capitulation was made under the pro-
lection of the American flag.

ELEVENTH HOUR MEN.

There is class of men who are always
late in all their undertakings, coming i'm at
the eleventh hour in all things. They are
the last in reaching the platform when the
cars are about starting, and are good for a
perilous jump when they 60 on steamboat
jaunt. Everything, both in morals and bust
ness, they put off till the last moment, and
then stand an excellent chance of being O
few minutes too late. In case of q boat or
railroad cars, it would be the same with
them if the time of departure was an hour
later, for they would be just in the same
furry, and just little too late to take things
comfortable and easy. These late people
are the bane of all punctual persons with
whom they have dealings, and who have no
big bell to tap or steam whistles to blow
and thus hurry up the eleventh hour men
to their duties. One delinquent man will
derange the best laid plans Of hundreds,
by failing to be in time, and by his disre-
gard of minutes he causes others to lose
hours. -- 4.
Not only in business but in moral enter
prises also we have eleventh hour men,
How often do we see men, when the great
reforms of the day seem to run smoothly
in silver slippers, come into the great work
with much gusto and talk as brayely as.
though they bore the scars of an hundred
battles. better late than never" and

MERCANTILE AGENCIES.

1t is very well known among commercial
men that an Institution, perhaps more than
one, exists in New York which undertakes
TO furnish reliable information to its sub
scribers as TO the means, character, habits
and standing of every man engaged in trade
throughout the Country. Could any one
of our merchants look over the record
there kept relating to himself, he would
find statements concerning his property.
his business habits, his success, the num-
Der of negroes he holds, the amount of pro-
perty he received by his marriage, together
with many other particulars of history and
character If the record were favorable
one, his credit would be good and he might
buy merchandise almCstwithoutl limitation; if
his name were on the Ilack list, lie could pur-
chase as far as his cash would go, and no
farther. This information is either furnish
ed by local or trsyeling agent, whose
business it is to pry into the condition of
every dealer visiting I ew York within GER
tain locality. The local agent is generally
lawyer, who finds his compensation in
the collection business sent him through
the medium of the Agency.
Although this organization seems adapt
ed to protect completely the wholesale
merchants from trusting their merchandise
20 irresponsible and dishonest men, while
at the same time it secures the good credit
of the honest buyer, it is found in practice
to be productive of many evils. The hon
est dealer, who confines himself to transac-
tions legitimately belonging to his branch
of business, feels no hesitation in disclos-
ing his condition to those New York mer-
chants of whom he asks credit. On the
contrary, strict honesty requires that he
should make such disclosure voluntarily,
and we dare say it is often done. Yet it is
stated with much confidence that Country
merchants, whose payments have been
regular, are sometimes refused further
credits for no apparent reason, and are
suddenly called upon to pay the balances
due Oh former transactions and not long
since one of these Agencies was pretty
severely punished by the Courts for the
damage done to some business men. The
local agent, either deceived by the repre-
sensations of others or using the opportu-
nifty to cripple and destroy an enemy, has
forwarded an unfavorable report. The
secrecy and responsibility surrounding
the reports of the Agent, it is evident place
the credit of the merchants of any communi-
ty in the keeping of one man, who may not
always be its most upright and conscien-
tious member. A lawyer charged with the
collection Of debt is justified in inyesti-
eating the ability of the debtor to pay, and
in reporting the same to his client,-but
beyond that he is treading on dangerous
ground. The propriety of one member of
community maintaining an espionage
upon all the others, and of reporting the
results of his investigations to third parties,
is more than questionable Washington
Dispatch.

BETTER AND IMPROVING TIMES.

BEfIER AND lhdFkxOA4NG I4h16S.l
It cannot be denied, says the Philadel-
phia Press. that better state of things is
visible in all quarters. The pressure has,
we trust. expended by extending itself.
Nothing but the most calamitous crash in
Europe can make the future darker than it
seemed to be few days ago but even
this event may not be without its compen-
sation in the fact that Great Britain cannot
do without our cotton in the midst of her own
disasters and must therefore relieve us to
an extent sufficient to absorb large amount
of our indebtedness to her. An article in
the London Times, of October IL, shows
conclusiyely the entire dependence of the
manufacturers in Great Britain, and, in a
large degree, the dependence of the manu-
facturers of France, upon our cotton, and
the real hopelessness, in the face of effort.
of opening new fields for the growth of that
important staple. From this article we
make the following extract:
THE COTTON QUEsTIoN.-It is ex-
tremely nteresting-unless, indeed, term
expressive of some deeper emotion should
be employed-to remark the views and
proceedings of the manufacturing world
at this moment with regard to the cotton
supply. This plant is now considered, and
with perfect reason, as one of the chief
elements in the wealth of nations. The
mutinies in India set the French journals
speculating the other day on the effects
producible in the cotton market by the in
terruption of cultivation in Bahar-the
Americans are seriously apprehensive of
being overtaken by the excessive demands
of Europe, and our own manufacturers have
formed associations and established cor
respondents for the purpose of seeking out
this precious material in all parts of the
world. There is no delusion or mania
about all this. What bread is to life cotton
is to commerce, for raiment comes next in
necessity to food. Wool was once the great
staple of this country, but wool now gives
| place to the produce of cotton plant. On
this produce depend our manufacturers.
and upon our manufacturers depend our
inexhaustible resources and our national
power.

EHBeFALL OF DELHI.
From The london Tfmes.

The great news from India hardly seerns
to admit of analysis or discussion. Delhi,
the famous city and arsenal on whick all
thoughts have been fixed for months, has
fallen, and the rebellion of the Sepoys has
received its death blow. In presence of
this great event, everything else appears
small and trifling. Although the intelli-
gence by the present mail is fuller than
usual, it seems dwarfed by the interest
which attaches to this military exploit.
Delhi was assaulted on the morning of the
18th of September. The attack was made
in four columns, of which one, composed
of the Cashmere Contingent, sent to cur
assistance by the late Gholab Singh, was
repulsed. The others, however, were sue
cessful. An entrance was effected at tue
Cashmere gate, to the north of the city.
An advance was made along the ramparts
to the Cabul gate, on the northwest. Here
we learn that the resistance of the mutineers
was obstinate and our own loss severe. 1t
was not until the 10th that the magazine
was stormed. On the 2uth our troaps took
entire possession of the city. Our loss
was 600 men, including so officers. The
slaughter among the mutineers was no
doubt very great. A large number escap-
ed over the bridge, and among them the
King of Delhi and his two sons, disguised
in women's clothes. 1t is to be hoped that
by the next mail we shall hear that these
three miserable chiefs of the rebellion have
been taken and executed.

N. G. RAILROAD.

The Directors of this Road held special
meeting in this City on the 18th, all of
them but two being in attendance. Con-
siderable business connected with the de-
tails of the operations of the Company was
transacted, but none of pub fic Importance.
We are indebted to one of the Directors
(Gen. Saunders,) for q statement of the
comparative receipts of the Road for the
first four months of the years 1856 and 1857;
from which it appears the total amount re-
ceived from passengers, freight and mail
for the months of July, August, September
and October, 1856, was one hundred and
eight thousand three hundred and seven
dollars and seventy cents; and from the
Same sources and for the same months in
1857, one hundred and thirty-one thousand
twenty four dollars and seventy seven cents
showing an increase of twenty-five thou
sand seven hundred and seventeen dollars
and seven cents over 1856. If this rate oil
increase should continue, the receipts OF
the Road the present year will reach four
hundred thousand dollars.-.Stdndard.

Baptist STATE CONVENTION.

The session Of the Convention was a most
harmonious, delightful and effective one.
1t opened on Wednesday and closed on
Monday. The proposition for raising all
independent endowment of $4,000 for W.
F. College, introduced in the last Conven-
ton. was completed at this. The friends
of the College will rejoice to learn this. A
number of those who made the first SUBJ
scriptions on this plan, subscribed again in
order to its completion. This $4,000
added to what had been previously raised,
places the College on permanent basis.
Liberal contributions were made to Home
and Foreign Missions.-Bi Biblical Recorder.

GENERAL HAVELOCK.

At meeting of the Hibernian Bible So
ciety, he'd in Belfast, the Rev. Mr. Graham.
of Bonn, mentioned this fact: He had to
tell them that Gen. Havelock, who is now
so distinguished in India, although Bap-
fist, was a member of his (Mr Graham
and daughter were members of it for seven
years. He could also narrate an anecdote
regarding that great and good man, which
he had heard from the lips of Lady Have
lock. When Gen. Havclock, as colonel of
his regiment, was travelling through India,
be always took with him Bethel tent, in
which he preached the Gospel; and when
Sunday came in India, he usually hoisted
the Bethel flag, and invited all men to come
and hear the Gospel-in fact, he even bap-
tized some. He was reported for this at
head quarters, for acting in q on-military
and disorderly manner; and the Comman-
der-in- Chief, Lord Cough, entertained the
charge, but with the true spirit of gener-
Gus military man, he caused the state of
Colonel Havelock's regiment to be examin-
ed. He caused the reports of the moral
state of the various regiments to be read for
some time back, and he found that Colonel
Havelock's stood at the head of the list
there was less drunkenness, less fogging,
less imprisonment in it than amy other
When that was done the COMMANDMENT
Chief said, "Go and tell Col. Havelock, with
my compliments, to baptize the whole
army
