The Crack of the Whip.

The Richmond Enquirer threatens re-
bellion unless Mr. Buchanan heeds the die
tation of the Southern Oligarchy. 1t has
taken alarm at the recent speech Of Mr..
Blgler, in the Senate, and the puff of Col.
Benton in the Pennsylpanian, and in an
article entitled '.No truce-Or o6liga-
tons to the incoming ADMINISTRATION" /"
more than hints that the "expansion of sla-
very must meet with 10 impeachment from
Mr.. Buchanan, or il will declare war. 1t
says: -srEra FsEe te fa-.fIs'
"The President elect will commit fatal
folly, if he thinks to organize his admins
tratlon upon any principle than that of an
avowed infexible support of the rights and
institutions of the slave-holding States
He who is not with us is against us; and
the South cannot attach Aself TO an ad-
mInlstration which occupies a neutral
ground, without descending from its own
lofty and impregnable position. We do
not ask the President elect to become the
partisan of our peculiar interests, but to ad-
minister the government in the spirit of
the Constitution, and to reserve inviolate
the guarantee of our rights. To this end
it is necessary that the Executive patron
age and authority should be so employed
as to strengthen the hands of our friends
and to confound the schemes of our enc
mics"
1t protests that if 'Mr. Buchanan means
to avert his countenance from all who stand
upon the rights of the South'-if "any
impediment is to be opposed to the legiti-
mate expansion of Slavery" then is ''Sena-
tor Bigler's speech distinct declaration Of
war;" DC. Z 1 Il E.Jt
In other words, the influence of the ad-
ministration must be used to extend and
foster Slavery. Unless Mr.. Buchanan is
greatly beied, he believes in the divine
right of the slave holders to rule the coun-
try, and will speedily dissipate the ground
less fears of the Enquirer; but we will not
anticipate his course. Let us hope that he
will not pursue the insane policy of Mr.,
Pierce, or be swayed from the line of duty
by the threatened maledicions of Southern

utter destruction; BY the former, be has in
CURED the enmity of his own countrymen
and the. civilized world. With almost his
entire army, he marched against Massaya,
leaving his magazine of ammunition and
military stores at Grenada, exposed to the
enemy, without defence. Pretending to
desire to concihate the good viii of free
governments, he restored slavery and the
slavetrade in his own-thus also sundering
the last bond Of friendship with the native
population. yEIiihIFssFA flIi
His sole purpose appears TO have been to
set up piratical, slaYeholding despotism of
his own in Central America, with further
view of Strengthening it, by the siezure of
Mexico, Cuba and the West Indies, and the
annexation of the planting States Of our
own confederacy at such time that they
could screw their courage up TO the point
of secession. @ *
For our part, we rejoice that plot so
criminal in conception, and so character
lied by blunders and mismanagement in
execution, is approaching so near its over
throw.

Walkers Reverses i'm Nicara-

The steamship Tennessee, which arrived
in this port on Sunday, brings us version
of the recent events in Nicaragua confirm
ing the opinions expressed in our issue Of
Saturday. By this intelligence we learn
that Walker has. lost every advantage
hitherto gained by him, that he has aban-
doned as hopeless the strongholds of his
power at Grenada and Massaya, and been
compelled to take refuge at Rivas, on the
line of the Transit route, where he may
hope to reinforce his exhausted and weak
ened forces from the passengers and the
provisions which may happen, from time
to time, to cross the Isthmus in that quar-
This reduces the fiIlibuster chief to pre-
cisely the same condition as that in which
he found himself nearly two years ago,
when, with his fifty-six California followers,
he landed on the shores of Nicaragua. He
is now in desperate straits, and we should
not be surprised at any time to see him
and his associates finally expelled from the
country they have SO disgracefully plum
dered. Indeed, at the last accounts, we
hear of him on board lake steamer, sepa-
rated from the feeble remnant of his COM
panion at Rivas, who were rapidly thinning
out by disease and famine. SIS
1t is difficult to imagine, how, in such a
situation, he can withstand the onset of the
Costa Rican invaders, backed as they are
by the support of a majority of the Nicara-
guans themselves. -.r
Much as the misfortune of his deluded
comrades are to be deplored, we have no re-
grets 10 express at his own. He engaged
in project Of purely mercenary and
speculative character, which he has execu-
ted with total disregard of the interests Of
justice, humanity and freedom. His sole
object appears to have been the aggran-
disement of himself and the slavery extend
ing capitalists, under whose auspices the
undertaking was set on foot. Plunder and
murder have been the order of the day,
ever since the time of his arrival; the best
citizens of the Republic were either stripped
of their property or bansbed. In the an
cient city of Grenada, ten thousand native
inhabitants were, in effect, driven out by
his policy, and reduced to about two hun
dred and fifty, to make room for as idle
and dangerous a horde of loafers as ever
was vomited forth from the uneasy civiliza-
ton Of the Southwest, though, undoubted-
ly, with some admixture of a better class
who had been misguided by an immature
enthusiasm or the specious promises of theil
leader.
There probably never has been known
an instance where q marauding expedition
has been marked by SO complete an alb
sence ofprudence or decency. Walker ap-
pears to lack every requisite of statesman
ship or military capacity. By the latter
defect, in repeated cases, nothing but the
stupidity ofhis enimies, has saved him from

CRANBERRY CULrURE.-A gentleman
to whom We sent copy of Eastwood's
manual on this subject, writes :-"It pres
ents the subject in an entirely new phase.
Several persons have been humbugged out
of 81 for plants to stick on the hills about
here. They lived a gear or two and then
died" Many more instances might be
given 70 illustrate the humbugery practiced
in regard to cranberries growing on dry
land. The term 'upland," as frequently
used, is likely to deceive people in this
matter. The productive plantation of Mr..
Needbam, at West Danvers, which we
have several times spoken of is sometimes
said to be on upland, and the inference
with the uninitiated is that the land is dry.
1t is by no means dry land, as we have be-
fore stated in describing it, 1t is moist
land, lying along the border Of what was
originally swamp. We have never seen
or heard of cranberries doing well for a
long time, on any land that was dry enough
for grain crops, or ordinary farm vegeta-
,bles. But good guide in the cranberry
culture will be found in the work of MI.

But we have not done with these losses to
the State occasioned by his mismanagement.
There is another item of evidence still more
appalling and, it is to be feared, still more
dis strous. 1t is welIknown that Governor
Chase, during his administration, has made
the Ohio Lie Insurance and Trust Com
pany the place Of deposit for large portion
Of the public funds. With the New York
Branch of the Trust Company was deposited
a considerable part ol the State stocks. The
Trust Company has, a divers times, disposed
ofthese and retained the money in its own pos.
session and for its own use--simply giving
Ohio credit on its books for the same. A
few days since this Trust Company fOiled,
causing crash in monetary affairs through
out the country as surprising as it was ruin
Gus. The books in the Auditor Of State S
ofiic have been kept 50 loosely that Gov.

We cannot tell how much the State ha

It may be ten thousand ard it may be TW(
