THE Horse ExcITEMENT.-Every one remem.
crs the pride and exutation felt all through
the country when the news arrived that George
Steers beautiful yacht America had shown her
heels to every English yacht, even in the racing
waters of England. 1t was pride not based upon
v:,inglory, but springing from that natural re-
joiclng in the mechanical and intellectual supc-
riurity OF the sons Of our own soil, The yacht
excitement was not greater than is the horse ex-
element now. For some time past Mr.. Ten
Brock has been in England with his famous
American race horses--Lecompte, Prioress aud
Prior. No American horse has, up to this period
tried its speed and strength upon an English
course, and the issue OF the expected compcti-
ton is looked Tor with feverish anxiety. Mr..
Ten Broeck's horses are of high repute, Lecompte
having been frequent victor and having made
on several occasions extraordinary time. The
style OF racing in England differs essentially from
ours; the test is not upon bottom and endurance
combined with speed, but consists in the dash
iny burst of short distance Were the strug-
gle to be determined by strength of endurance,
we should have no doubt Us to the result; the
American horse in this respect is unapproacha-
bic and combined with this, its speed i'll long
distances will, we are sure, defy all competition
We shall soon know the result of at least one
race Mr.. Ten Brock expects to enter his hor.
SEES for the greatest races Of the season; and all
that pluck bone, muscle and breed can do to
win lanrels in new field of enterprise will as
surcdiy be done.

A NKw SLAVERY COMPROMISE HArcHEp.-Gov.
Walkers programme is to allow the pro-sIavery
marty to 90 and frame their slave constitution;
TO allow the free State party at the same time,
to hold as many conventions and pass as many
indignation resolutions as they please, and to
throw all the proceedings of both parties INTO
the next Congress, with splendid manifesto IN
behalf of his new compromise. And what is
that The simple scheme of giving the lions
share of Kansas, as now organized, to the free
State PARTY for free State, and OF forming the
boundaries for new Slave State by adding to
q small slice of Southern Kansas large slice
from the splendid Indian country south OF ~ the
| Slave State and the Free State to come INTO the
Union together.
By this arrangement it is supposed that both
| the Pro-slavery and Free State politicians, IN
getting the Congressman and other spo'is OF
new State will be satisfied, and that the specu-
ls,ors in lands, town lots, white settlers and mig
gers will also be satisfied, and above all, that
great treaty of peace will follow between thu
| North and the South. This is the real plan O

to the Isthmus in 1868 to act in conjunction
with English engineers in a survey of this inter-

The expedition failed. Lieut.. Strain and his
party barely escaped with their lives from the
perils of the expedition. The report made of
the result by Lieut.. Strain will be found in the
navy report for 1854. He pronounced the route
to be impractcable by reason of the immense
grades to be overcome. But DR.. Caldwell pro-
ceeded far enough from the Pacific side to OBJ

route is perfectly we'll adapted to canalization.
