~ The (lndianapolis) Locomotive OF
the 9th, has the following paragraph rela-
tive to Mr.. Smiths declining reelection to
the Presidency of the Straight Line Railroad
Company:
STRAIGHT LINE RAnRoAD.-Ac call il made
for the meeting of the Stockholders of this
road, on the seth July, to elect a President
in place of Hon. o. II. Smith, who declines
reelection. We had hoped that Mr.. Smith
would recall his determination to resign
from the position of President of this road,
and that he would at least serve until the
cars were running over its entire length
We may be wrong, but we feel as If this i'm
portant line ofroad will never be built if Mr.
Smith relinquishes the Presidency--tha,
there is no other man that can bring the en-
ergy to it, and impart that confidence in it:
success necessary TO complete it. That il
will be built to the crossing OF the Ohio and
Mississippi road we have not doubt but in
our opinion it will be only feeder to that
line, unless Mr.. s. determines not 10 leave il
| until it is built through. We trust those tha
have deep interest in tho success of ths
road will use their efforts to prevent Mr.. S
from retiring from the road, until the las
| rail is laid, and the road is in successful
operation.
Weagree with the Locomotive in its esti
mate of the importance of retaining Mr.
Smiths services and active influence for tn
road. Mr.. Carpenter will see the road com
pleted ultimately; but Mr.. Smiths cooper
alton is essential to an energetic prosecution
and early completion of the enterprise
Combined, Messrs Smith and Carpenter max
up the business and moral force Of the road
they are essential helps to each other; eithe
taken away deprives the other of half of hi
power to carry OH the important work. W
most sincerely hope that Mr.. Smith will b
induced to retain his present position.

WILLFUL FALSEHoOns

The abolition press are continually teeming
with falsehoods in reference to slaves and slave.
holders of the South The representations made
through their papers, bctray either m inexcusa-
bic ignorance of African slavery, or n wilful de-
sire to fasify and msreprcscnt They proclaim to
to their readers that the life Of the necroe is depcn
dent upon the will Of the master We have seen il
stated in some of these journals that not only are
the slaves out that the Tree negroes OF the Souri,
are almost daily sold in the Southern cities into
bondage. Tor tax"s. 1t is true that in most. if not
ali, of tho Southern States there are laws Nv
which free negroes arc required to pay small
capitat'on tax TO the Treasury of the State, and
tie proviso of the law is, that where these free
negroes fail to pay this tax, that they may be
sold for limited period until by their labor,
they shall discharge the obligation which they
owe to the State. and then they are remanded ia
their former condition. 1t may occasionally hap.
pen III some of our Southern Cities that a law
indolent rascal may, as it were, he hired out for
a time, to pay the pittnnce which the State I'M.
poses upon him, but these instances are "few
aud far between"
1t would, how ever, be great blessing to tn,
free negroes OF any community, either North o,
South, if they were given over to the charge Of
humane masters, who would be bound by law
ns well rs self interest, to care for aud support
them.

Further from China-Irogress of the Var
A letter dated Canton, Jan. 18th, speaking of
the burning of that city by the British, says:
The extent which has been destroyed is line
of perhaps two miles along the north bank OF
the river, and penetrating inwurds from 200 to
400 yards. A considerable part Of the city has
also been hound by the firing from the fort,
which is held by US. The fire lasted about TWEEN.
ty-four hours. The admiral has written for
about 5000 men from India; we also expect
500 from Singapore. We have not yet heard
what effect these proceedings have had on the
Chinese garrison; the extraordinary thing is,
that what We do here does not in the least affect
the other ports of China with which we trade
All accounts show that they al quite indiffer.
ent to this place, and rather glad than otherwise
that the Cantonese, whom they hate, are getting
touched up.
Another letter, dated Hong Kong, January
Ia, speaking OF an apprehended attack there by
the natives on all foreigners, says;
Fifty men Of the French crews have taken ND
position in the east part of the town, and every
arrangement has been settled for landing, at the
first signal, all the landing companies and four
field howitzers. 1t would appear that this aiti
tude taken by the French is to be ascribed to
the instructions received by the last null
France and England had concerted, we are as
sured, before even they knew of the recent
events at.Canton, to obtain from the Chinese
government the revision Of their treaties, which
expire forthwith.

FROM NICARAGUA

The late accounts received from Central Amer.
lea, represent the prospects of General WALKER
as being gloomy. His late rcvcrses followed by
desertions from his ranks, have reduced his force
to the insignificant number of three hundred
and fifty men. However this little band seem
to have been successful in rcpelling the attacks
upon them, yet their physical energies are fast
sinking under fatigue and privations.
WALKER has been driven to San JUAN on the
Pacific coast, and unless reinforced, his career
will soon be ended. 1t is matter of great won-
der that he, with mere handful of men, with.
out the means of support, has maintained his po.
sltion, surrounded MS he has been, by immense
population inmisal to him from prejudice and
religion.

Sir: Inyour paper of the Cd instant, ain
called OH by VAUDEVILLE to become a candidate
to represent this Congressional District. Pre-
viously there had been several other calls nude
OH me, of the same nature, in the other Districts
composing this Congressional District. Permit
ME. through the medium of your paper, to re-
ply to all their public nominations, us well us to
the many personal appeals that have been made
| to me to become u candidate for Congress-
After mature consideration, and with the best
disposition on my part TO favorable response to
my numerous friends, have not been able to
obtain my own consent to become n candidate
for Congress. 1t is unnecessary for me to specify
the several reasons which brought me to this
conclusion. The shortness Of the time when
the election is to take place. and my inability in
justice to my private interest, to canvass the
District, is, hope, sufficient reason for nv
not becoming candidate.
Permit me, also, through this medium to return
my thanks to ABBEvILLE," and to all the rest
ot my friends who have manifested a kind per-
sonal feeling toward me in this matter: and TO
express my sincere regret. on their account, lha,
could not make more favorable response to

Simultaneous Rerolutions.-It is rather
singular circumstance that on the very
day on which a peaceful political revolution
was accomplished in the United States, a
similar event substantially occurred in Eng
land. On the 4th of March, Mr.. Pierce
abandoned and Mr.. Buchanan assumed the
chief magistracy Of this country, and on the
same day, in the British House of Commons,
the ministerial forces were out voted and
Lord Pa!merston's policy OH the Chinese
question condemned. A combination of
Tories, Liberals and Peelites was formed
against him, and after one Of the most bril-
liant and hotly contested Parliamentary
struggles known in English history, the old
veteran WAS worstcd. An appeal to the
country has been decided upon and new
election of members of the House of Com
mons will shortly Lc held.-Psnnsylva-
