EMANCIPATION IN MIssoURI.-The election
in St. Louis is certainly one of the most extra
ordinary developments of our political com
motion. That city of one hundred aud fifty
thousand inhabitants, the commercial empo-
rum of slave State, too, the oppressor of
Kansas, and the peculiar patron Of Atchison,
should deliberately have elected to Congress
Francis L. Blair. avoweG Free Soier, was
deemed curious enough but that this should
be followed up by victory of a party fighting
its battle upon a clear, explicit, and decided
anti-slavery platform is little short of marvel
lous. 1t might have been supposed that Mr..
Winner wAes was elected Mayor, succeeded
through some personal or local causes, and
that hence the issue was not plain one, but
the whole emancipation city ticket was also
elected, and the same party carried large
majority in both branches of the City Councils
Platforms are said to mean nothing, but the
platform of these st. Louis emancipationists
certainly meant so much to be the leading
feature of the canvass. 1t was unSparingly at
tackled by the pro-slaverv newspapers and or
ators as purely 'sabolition" in character, while
on the other hand, theDemocrat, the Anzieger,
and all the newspapers and personal organs of
the party, openly and strongly advocated G.
Emancipation principles.

NIHAR AGU A

The Illinois, which arrived yesterday, brings
the wind-up of the fillibustering operations on
the River San Juan-not merely in the shape
of news, but bodily, in the persons somewhat
the worse for wear) OF goodly NUMBER OF the
fllibusters Lockridge'S men were all con-
yeyed to Aspinwall in two British frigates,
whence they have been shipped-much tothe
relief of the inhabitants of that place, who re-
garded their advent with no little alarm--some
to this port and some to n Orleans.
On the 18th of April, some days after the
departure of the Tennessee from Greytewn, a
Costa Rican force from Castillo, commanded
by Colonel Canty, an Englishman, made its APP
pearance there in the steamer Charles Morgan.
The filibusters had already given up their
arms to the Mayor of Greytown on an assur-
ance of being sent home. On Colonel Canty's
appearance Scott, the agent of the Transit
Companies, both old and new, and chief
leader in the whole Ncaraguan mischief, was
summoned on board one of the British frigates
10 meet the commander of the Costa Rlcan
troops, where arrangement was made for
Scott's personal safety and the protection of
his (we suppose priyate) property, on condl-
tion of giving up Punta Arenas TO the Costa
Ricans, who took possession Of the steamer
Rescue, and of a number of guns and guam
tty of ammunition.
Col. Canty, having thus taken possession,
declared the river open, and communication
with the interior had once more been re-estab-
HSiltu. I+cChrlu5c Sliu GculdluS Viz to"H,
intending, perhaps, to go into partnership With
Kinney.
No direct accounts have been received from
Walker, though we have some further infor-
nation by way of Costa Rica. 1t appears that
battle lcas fought on the 11th of March, near
| St. George, which Walker attacked with all
his disposable force, throwing large number
! of shot into the town. In the afternoon he re-
| treated, greatly harassed by Gen. Jerez, who
| subsequently occupied San Juan del Sur
| The allies admit loss of % killed and so
wounded, but claim on the authority ofdeser-
| ters, to have inflicted much greater loss on
Walker. They, however, can better afford to
lose fifty than Walker to lose one. The last
accounts, down to the 18th OF April, represent
! the Costa Ricans as established within 400
yards of the plaza ofRivas, and ready to open
| fire upon it. Walkers men said to be
suffering both from hunger and sickness. De-
! sertions were frequent, and the speedy end OF
the enterprise was confidently looked for.

CATTLE STARVING TO DEATH.-We learn
from gentleman who came in from Concord
on Saturday, that many cattle are dying from
starvation in that town. The hay is entirely
consumed, and none can be purchased in the
vicinity at any price. Some of the farmers
have come into the city for corn to keep their
stock alive. In several towns in Cattaraugus
county, cows are said to be dying for want of
food. The snow still lies upon the ground.
the roads are almost impossible, and as the hay
and straw. are exhausted, there is no alterna-
tive fol- the farmers but TO suffer their cattle
to die. This is a sad state of things for this
season of the year.-BuGdio Courier.
