Inc rni in the Soutb very naturally threw the
Riock Republican papers into cowardly paroAysms OF
foIophoOd and abuse. With volumlnouS Vugarity the

leader after leader to misrepreSent MS haCufe anu HIS
trre his nurposes II is not to be expected, how
~ that these papers which echoes OF every Anglo
Son can't and every anti-Amercan expression OF
oninon in the British domnions, should receive with
opv demonstratve feeling of happiness the man-to
silence whom the English government deemed IL heces
sarv to pass an act OF parliament

This was done in the stupid hope Of exhibiting NEON

American Democracy born and bred OF such antag-
onsm to English rule he advocated In fact, he but
initiated as he inspired by the founder OF American
Democracy. If Mr.. Mitchell thought the American
Constitution worthy Of imitation III Ireland surely his
allegiance to it its parcntsOl is less remarkable than
that the very papers which lauded him as European
struggling to Amercanze his nation, should attack him
by every scurrOus means, that he has American

IF tbc announcement of Mr. Mtchel's "Southern
Citizen threw the AboitOnistS of the North into
derum the appearance of that sheet must sober them
Now that he has the ready means of rep it is doubt
full whether these valiant cOXcOmbs of the political pave
will have sufficient courage to see him even on the OppO
site side of the way.
In issuing the Southern Citizen, the editors do not
believe that it is actually needed but that there is
room for it. Among Southern journals of all parties
there has been manifested of late earnest spirit of
inquiry into all questions affecting the national political
and moral interests of the South.
There is room, plenty of room, in which Mcssrs.
Mitchell and Swan may aid in prosecuting and ilustra-
ting these inquiries and interests. The Southern Cti-
zen boldly enters on its career in fOrcby written lead
err in which the present position of the South is define
ated and the necessity of the revival of the slave trade
advocated as the principal means by which Southern
may be consolidated and the extension of South
ern rights initiated 1t is argued that large increase
of labor power is needed thus
what binders the South from manufacturing her
own cotton? Want of labor What prevents the South
from establishing direct intercourse with Europe and
with all the world ? Want of labor What hnders
her from taking possession of Kansas? Want of labor
1t signifies little that Kansas open to her. She
could not effectively occupy it, unless by withdrawing
labor from other fields, when could not be spared If
to make plantations in Kansas must leave deserts
somewhere else, where is the gain? Politically we may
assert and vndicate rights to settle Kansas but the
North has continual influx of labor from abroad, We
little Nature, and the laws which regulate set
Element and population, stronger than constitu-
lions and our guarantees of nOn-interyentiOn. The
North pour her myrids into Kansas and miss
them Ii we cultivate an acre there we leave acre
untitled here For every hearth we make to smoke in
Kansas, there is hearth left cold in Georgia Ala
bama. Striving to extend institutions into Kan
under present circumstances is cutting piece from
end OF garment to sew upon the other it is Civ
ing hungry dog piece of his own tail to eat.
On all sides, then, want of labor meets It is
sole difficulty; the one and sufficient why the
South cannot hold her own in the Union"
NIcARAGUA-The Washington States has been per-
mted to copy the following extact from private letter
to gentleman in that city, dated San Juan, Sept II.
The letter is from very responsible source:
have learned from parties interested, that last
month Colonel Manuel Gross of the Martinez army,
to this port by way of the river COcos, SegOya,
to get powder AS none to be purchased in the
town the English fleet furnish gratis all the powder
that they wanted and they went far to escort
the powder far as the mouth of the river COcOs in Sc
gOva. That cannOns were furnished to the Costa Ri
in December last by the English fleet when the
transit steamer were taken, is now fully confirmed.
chy All Americans have been sent out Of the country
under pretence of being in favor of Walker-nether per-
property respected All the natives who took
part with Gen. Walker have been sent to work the Sc
gOvia rOad-Gen. Pneda included, also an old man called
IlOna 10 years ofage.
You will have seen the daring attitude which Costa
Rca has assumed with regard to the transit Nicaragua
determined to retake CASTILLO WHO and has sent Al
men to San Carlos as the vanguard.
In few days we shall hear how things going tt
turn in that quarter.
The Gadsden Purchase.
This part of country lies south of New Mexico as VT
acquired it by the treaty of l848 and contains about
100000 of acres of land 1t terminates westwardly
on the Colorado river.
In the treaty with Mexico of 1854, by which we &C
dured this purchase" it is declared that no grants
within the acquired territory bearing date subsequent
to the day, twentyth of September when the minister
GadSden) proposed to Mexico to terminate the question
of boundary will be considered valid and grant mad
DreyouSV unless had been located and recorded in thu
archives of New Mexico.
The act of Congress of 22d July 1854 established tn
Office of Surveyor General of New Mexico and required
him to ascertain and report upon the merits of claim
under the laws and regulations of Spain and New MeXl
originating before the cessOn by the treaty of Guada
Iupc Hidalgo in 1848. By the act of August f. 1884
the territory acquired by the GadSden treaty incOr
porae with New Mexico and made subject to all tn
laws of that Territory. 1t follows, therefore that tn
jurisdiction of the surveying department of New Mexico
is complete the whole of that section of the country
