The latest news from Nicaragua is that
Col Titus and his gang of Kansas Bor-
der Ruffians, have distinguished them
selves for coaOardice and bragadocia-frst
remaining away from Castillo; next abusing
a British officer, and when arrested plead
ing the protection of the American flag,
and finally getting into quarrel with some
of their own party. Walkers prospects
are very poor. He is beaten in every en-
gagement-his men are deserving him or
dying of dissipation, disease, or starvation,
and it is thought he will soon be compelled
to leave the country.

The late news from Utah represents af-
fairs in that territory in a sad condition.
The u S. Supreme Judge writes that muir
ders, and every species of crimes are of
daily occurrence, and that it is impossible
to punish the offenders, who are mostly
Mormons-that every man holds his life
at the will of Brigham Young-that Bah
bitt was murdered by Mormons instead of
Indians-that the Supreme Clerks Office
has lately been entered, and all the books,
papers, dockets. etc, taken out and burned.
1t is said Buchanan will soon appoint an
other Governor, and send out with him a
sufficient military force to carry out the
laws to the fullest extent. What will the
Mormons think of this exhibition of ''squat-
ter sovereignty?"

A MARRIAGE NO JoKE.-The Philadel-
phia correspondent of the Baltimore Amer
lean says:
considerable interest is excited among
the friends and relatives of certain Miss
Jaquett, both in this city and in Chester
county. The lady in question has made
application for a divorce. The circum-
stances of the case are peculiar. Miss
JaqueUt, about year ago. was at party
with certain Mr.. Bachtell, where the one
challenged the other to get married-by
way of joke. The banter was accepted;
the gentleman and lady jumped into We
hicle. posted off to neighboring clergy
man-the knot was tied; but the lady hav-
ing shown her spirit, declared she would
carry the joke no further. Both parties
soon found they had gone too far. Mr..
Bachtell was a gentleman of property in
Ohio. He could no. longer make title to
his real estate. The young lady, who
reigned as village belle, soon found she
had been trifling with a serious matter
1t was an act of youthful indiscretion for
which the law had provided no remedy.

An unsuccessful effort was made by the
Legislature of Minnesota at its late ses-
sion to remove the capitol from st. Paul
to st. Peter A majority of the members
favored the project, and tie Governor al
so, but they were frustrated by one of the
members who obtained the bill, pocketed
it, and left the territory. He remained in
Wisconsin until the Legislature adjourned.
Thus they were prevented from robbing
Paul to pay Peter.

The House was occupied all day in the
discussion of the Canal Contracts. Sew
eral able speeches were made for and
against reputation The vote in Com
mittee of the Whole stood 43 for and 4
against repudiating contracts. It requires
Sc to pass the bill. 1t is impossible to de-
termine what will be the result on the final
vote.
Green Corn was served up for the first
time this season, yesterday, at the Goodale

An accident occurred on the Cleveland
railroad last night. The train due at 8
o'clock last night did not arrive until 7
o'clock this morning. When about 80
miles north of this city. large hickory
tree fell on the locomotive, smashing it
completely, and damaging the mail and
express cars. Fortunately, no one was
badly injured, though the escape of the
passengers may be considered miraculous.
Another incident occurred to the train
from Cincinnati, yesterday, when about
eight miles south of Columbus. A fire
was raging on both sides of the road.
Putting on full head of steam the cars
darted through the flames like a streak,
and although the transition was momen-
tary, its heat was so great that the paint on
the cars was blistered and came near bla-
zing. A. L.

ONO APPoINTMENTS.-Hon. Elisha
Whittlesey has resigned the Office of First
Comptroller of the Treasury, to make
room for Ex-Gov. Medill. We presume
he was forced to volunteer his resignation.
Col. Manypenny has also resigned the Of
fee of Indian Commissioner, to make room
for Col Steedman. The qualifications of
VIM. Medll and James B. Steedman for
these important posts may be learned from
the reports ofthe Investigating Committees
appointed last winter by the Ohio Legisla-
ture to ferret out the rascality of certain
individuals. Ex- Gov. Wood is an appli
cant for the Cleveland post office. If he
cannot get that, perhaps the President will
be kind enough to give him a suit of his
old clothes. Col. Geo. w. Morgan, of
Mt. Vernon, is an applicant for the appoint
ment of Minister to Prussia or Mexico
Mr.. Myers, Chairman of the Dem. Cent.
Com. of Hamilton county, has been ap-
pointed Collector at Cincinnati, and Frank
Link, Postmaster. So much for Ohio ap-
pointments. The excitement consequent
upon appointments in Boston, Philadel
phia, California, New York, and elsewhere
is not of sufficient consequence to our
readers to occupy any great amount of
space ir the Telegraph

we learn, is Duncan, and the cause of his
removal was desire to "anncx" $275 of
Mr.. McLAne's money to the balance of his
personal property. A. 7.

KANsAs.-It is said that Buchanan has
decided TO retain and sustain Gov Geary,
on his oaOm terms, if Geary will consent
We do not credit the report. In the first
place, Geary's recent exposures have SO
greatly excited the Border Rufians that it
would be unsafe for him to return; and in
the next place, Buchanan dare not allow
Gov. Geary to carry out his plans in re-
gard to that territory. The emigration to
Kansas this spring is represented as extra
ordinary, ranging from 5000 to 5000 per
week, principally from the Eastern States.
The ruffians along the Missouri river do
not molest thenl-they are glad to get their
custom. The Southern shareholders are
becoming alarmed At the prospect, and THEN
newspapers and politicians are urging the
South to renewed exertions. We have
been very much amused in reading some
articles clipped from Mississippi and Ala
bama papers.

NEW PoIIT1cAL FALsEHoops.

NEW PoLITICAL FALsEHooDs. - The
Democratic newspapers are Matching new
brood of lies for the next campaign. For
instance, they charge the Republicans in
the last Congress with raising their pay
from SO day to ss3, 600 per session.
This bill originated in the Senate, where
the Republicans were only one-fourth of
the members, and was introduced by
Judge Butler. of South Carolina-the un-
Gle of Bully Brooks. 1t was advocated in
the House by Orr, of South Carolina
The Republicans cast 46 votes for the bill
and So against it. If other parties had
done as we'll it could not have passed.
Again it is said that the three members
of Congress impeached by the Investiga-
ting Committee were all Republicans. Mr..
Edwards, one of these members was elect
ed in opposition to the Republicans, and
was defeated last fall by the Republicans.
But, then, although we believe these men
guilty and their exposure ju st, we are not
quite green enough to suppose they were
the only guilty parties in Congress. Had
the committee felt disposed they might
easily have.implicated many others. be-
longing to other political parties. When
ten millions of dollars were given to the
Texas creditors, Texas bonds were sold for
16 10 10 cents on the dollar. These bonds
were publicly offered and sold to members
of Congress in the Hall of the House of
Representatives in large quantities, and
their votes taken payable achen the bill
should become a lar. Scores of members
purchased from twenty to fifty thousand
dollars worth on these terms, and voted
for the bill in order to realize the immense
profit on these bonds. Many other instan-
ces, just as fragrant, and just as well au-
thenticated might be given-(Dr. Olds
and others on the Nebraska bill, for in
stance but it is unnecessary. Few of
our readers are verdant enough to believe
that those three men exposed by this COM
mittee are the only scoundrels who have
ever been bribed in Congress. 500

Road to Cherokee.

Messrs. White & Nutter, of Oregon CITY
have started the project Of building road
to Cherokee via. Longs Bar and oregon
Gulch. That direct road to Cherokee from
Oroville, is of considerable Importance, lsin-
disputably the fact. there being at present
no direct communication between the two
points available to teams and carriages
Without this road, and as is the case at pres
ent, the entire trade and travel from Cher
okee and vicinity, necessarily avoids Oroviile
altogether, and passes by way Of Pence's
Ranch to Marysville The proposed road.
(Which has indeed been already commenced
by Nessrs. White & Nutter,) would place us
within eight miles of the rich and populoas
mining regions Of Oregon and Cherokee'and
tend to make this market for those IN that
section who now do their trading in Marys-
Vile. The road is in no place to be of steep
or pIade than ten feet in one hundred and
twenty and will be easily accessible by teams
during all seasons of the year. The estlma-
ted cost to build such road is twenty hve
hundred dollars, two hundred dollars oil
which have already been subscribed by
Messrs. White s Nutter, and about eight
hundred more by others. The Interests OF
the town should prompt our citizens to sub
scribe the balance of the required sum anu
help to complete the road at once.

Ritter of San Francisco, awhile since and
who is now in the prison of that city, has
been writing poetry to the BuI'tn. we
should judge by the poets strain, that he-ls
not so much rascal from natural vicious
ness, as from sentmentality or desire for
inglorious notoriety. The following are the
last two stanzas of his New Years Hymn:
The patter of the rain drops, the drip upon
the wall
The echoes of tho turnkeys through the de-
serted hall
The bowling of the Storm Fiend around our
prison drear-
Such are the sounds that greet us, on the
threshold of the Year!
Up, comrades. then, my merry men! up
comrades one and all

With curses hail, since blessings fail, the
opening of the Year!

AN important Improvement is now
being made by opening a road from
Longs Bar to Cherokee on the op-
posite side of the river. This will
bring the trade Of an extensive min
ing section through Oroville- The
road to the Junction would bring us
the entire trade Of the pack trains
running into Plumas county. Many
of these trains now 90 by the rounda-
bout way of Gibsonville, rather than
be subjected to the arrogant dictation
of our County Judge, who appears
determined to nave no roads in the
county except those running to his
bridge. Rather than be compelled
to pay him for the privilege of pass
ing through the county, they 90
around it altogether. Open the road
to the junction, and the entire trade
of the upper country will centre here.
Goods would be hauled to this point
and transferred to pack trains, for
every section of Plumas. AS the
matter now stands it is about as easy
to go from Bidwell to Marysvillc, as
to come from Bidwell to Oroyille.-
How long will our county authorities
continue to drive trade from the
county for the purpose Of benefting
individuals? Will the Supervisors
consult the interests of the county
and of Orovigle, or do they belong to
Judge Lewis, and can only do as he
permits them? We shall see.
