WAsI,ISGToS. June 9.

Capt. Davis, OF the United States ship st.
Mary's, in recent official dispatches TO the
government, says il was the opinion of those
who had better means OF knowing than him
self, that month before those dispatches
were written General Walker could at any
moment passed the enemy's line and main
tanned himself in the open country. Since
then the desertions have been numerous and
frequent, not only diminishing the numbers
of his army but demoralizing its character,
that towards the end Of April the only resort
for Walker was to cut his way down to the
coast and take refuge, if possible, on board
the schooner Grenada.
According to the best intelligence, such an
attempt would only have been the last effort
of despair, and have terminated fatally in less
than five miles from Rivas. The time had
therefore arrived for determining on the
course to be persued in the case anticipated
in the instructions received by Capt. Davis in
January last-that is, in the event of the ex-
pulsion Of Walker and his forces from Me
aragua by the allied armies, and his departure
to the adjacent territories in Central Amer
lea for the purpose of hostiIities and nggres-
sive operations The reason assigned by
Captain Davis for the seizure Of the Gren-
ada is that Walkers vessel lost her national
ity, was boligerant, and should not there
fore pass his guns.

ANOTHER RELIGIOUS Row IN EMBRYO The
Scotch Presbyterian Synod is going with all
sail set full upon the black rock on which
nearly every other religious denomination
has split. Resolutions were introduced during
the Friday session, in favor of Union with
the Southern Synod. Of course there will
be grand ROW, with plenty of Christian
like rough and tumble rowdylsm, malignant
prayer to the throne of Grace for each others
conversion, and all that sort of thing Bet.
ting at present is in favor of the South com
ing ont second best. The South can hit
straight ont from the spiritual shoulder, and
perhaps get the advantage in fair, stand up
polemical set to, but the North heats them
all to pieces in prayerful wrestling The
North is sure to win when it once manages to
get down and pray upon its antagonist.-N.

The AGITAToRs.-The GAINESVILLE Cbror.
icle frames the following strong bill of in.
dictment against the Democracy:
The Democracy is killing off the nsttu-
| ton OF slavery, 40 one can doubt, who has
/ fairly investigated lis policy and Practice
| The continued agitation OF the subject has
constantly increased the opposition Of the
| North 10 that Institution, and weakened il in
the South, by creating indifference 10 its fate
with some, and disgust with Others, towards
those who feinn to be- its staunchest friend,
| for political effect. And whilst the senti.
men of the North has been nerved for heay.
Ter blow, by lavish grants OF the public lands,
which build up new States and enemies To the
South, by inviting European setters-al an.
Ii slavery-to occupy those lands, aud by
giving to aliens, in the territories, all the
rights of native citizens.
Each of these acts is bonus granted 10
the North, in consideration of its hostility 10
slavery; and the emancipation movement in
Missouri, and the project of coloniziug Viz
ginia with free labOrers are unmslnknble ey-
licences of the efficiency of the means Tor the
end-the determination OF slavery. All thi.
is the work of Democracy; vet its southern
victims still cry cut: "Give the public lands
to F'ersolers, encourage ati-slavery immi-
grafton from Europe, give the ignorant and
degraded alien every right which the native
dare claim, and down with the vile party
which asserts that Americans ought TO rule
America" Such is Observation-Disclosures
wrong in theory, deeply corrupt in prac-
tice, by its very nature, subyersiye of law and
order.

TT The Methodist Protestant of Balti-
more has the following paragraph indicating
the probability of that religious body being
disturbed by the slavery issue:
ais there any probability that ut the next
General Conference, the Methodist Protestant
church viii! divide? If by division is meant
official action recognising a separation, we
think not. There may be secession, but why
should there BE- official division! II portion
of the West will not send representatives, to
the General Conference, and shall thus sgni.
fly their intention to withdraw all church rtla.
ton from us, their act will be simply volunta-
nv secession from the Methodist Protestant

SLAVERY IN THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.
The Report on Slavery presented in the
New School Assembly at Cleveland, on Mon.
day, states that 81 memorials on the subject
of Slavery were handed to the Committee, of
which number | came from Ohio and from
New York. The report is signed BY Rev.
Drs. Allen, Wallace, Burchard and Cleland.
and Messrs. Griswold and Hastings. 1t de-
clares that the Assembly can never consent
to the idea that slavery ought to be perpetual,
and that the Apostles never thnught that
slavery was on level with the natural rela-
tons, but that they simply bore with it for
the time. The report divides the question
into two classes, and counsels moderation and
charity, but in the main censures the practice
of slaveholding. lis reading created great

were at Polk we tool it upon ourselves to

If the editor of the Inner made any enqui-

Towards the concluion OF his article, the
editor ad vises the KnW Nothings to "do one
good act in their lives and that they can do
by voting for some god Democrat for the
position in question" This clearly imples
that DR.. Pendergrass is OF a"good Democrat" "
and this charge has been openly made by
the friends of the nomhee. The same caucus
clique that charges Tit DIR. Pendergrass is
nota good Democrat also charged that Z.
H. Dunn was not 'god Democrat" Why
did they make this fale and unjust charge
against Mr.. DuDnl Simply because he was
the first choice of Pol. county for Floater,
and fearing that he night be persuaded to

Baltimore last week, speaks rather dlscour-
ngeingly of the climate in the lsthmus OF Pa

ing details the immense sacrifice of life in
building the Panama Rail Road. At least

less healthy. fie States moreover, says the
Clipper, that gold is more plentiful in the
vicinity than in California, but not looked up
by reason of the prevailing fevers. One firm,
however, are operating at the Norris dig
gins, whose monthly receipts are about $lS,-
600. The Indians also are very treacherous

s5E We give place in another part of this
paper, TO communication in reply to an ar
ticle in the last Cleveland Banner. We know
nothing of the difficulties and dissensions 10
the democratic party, and have no sympathy
with them. AS respects the candidates for
Floater, we know them all pretty well, and
have always understood the whole of them
to BE- born and bred democrats, dyed in the
wool and doube-struck in tine wove--at
least it is not within our knowledge that
either Of them has ever been guilty of acting
with his political opponents, or that they
were capable of evincing so much patriotism.
AS TO the charge that the "know nothings"
have been triggering to bring such notable
specimens oflocofoc oism on the track, the idea
is too absurd to find Judgement anywhere
except in tho head Of one whose mind has
become impaired in dwelling too studiously
upon the imaginary beauties and virtues of
modern democracy. We think, however, that
"Anti-Convention" is engaged in what will
prove prc6tless work-the clique which de.
feated the Polk county candidate two years
ago has determined who shall be the Joint
Representative, and any effort to counteract
their edict will msro than likely prove una
vailing. For ourself ve have no choice be-
tween the gentlemen-they are all members
of the same political household, all baptised
at the same impure fount, and, MS our friend
