PoIsoSED By SrIDER.-A gentleman OF this
city, who visited the West with the greas rail
road excursion, had his pleasure spoiled by the
blte OF spider. After passing a night in Cincin
natl on his way out, he rose from his bed, MOTTO
Ing u small red spot between the Joints of the
thumb and index finger of his right hand twas
about as large as siXpenCe, and encircled with a
wnlte rim, not unlike the sting of MOSQUITO He
took no special notice of il at first but four hours
AFTER he rose. the sore spot had swollen and grown
insuferably painful. He then went to the physi.
clan, who told him there were but two creatures
IN the western country which could produce such
effect, and that the gentleman had been bitten
eltheT by a TdttIeSnake or blaC X spider. Theex-
CuIslonlst knowing that he had not slept with a
Tattlesnake, concluded that the spider must be the
onender, and had probably slipped into the bed
ana distilled his venom during the hours of slum-
Der. he doctor rubbed the wound with ammo
nld, and the sufferer, undergoing extreme torture
left for st. Louis on the same day His hand arm
some distance; above the wrist, had swelIed TO
double their usual size, while the dull dreadful
unlntermitting pain, which had extended beyond
the swelling to the arm PIT, reminded him of the
jumping OF fifty toothaches. IN consequence of
his suterings, he was obliged for some DAYS to
remain IN bed, trying Dall6ys' Pain Extractor to
bring the mysterious swelling to a head lint it
acted too quickly. After suppuration a large
amount OF fostering matter, was broue bit out by
the lancet. But another ulcer, accompanied with
less painful swelling, at once formed, and with
his hand bandaged for this the suffering excur.
sionist returned to New York His hand still
disabled, presents a shockingly intiamed appear

WATER TIGHT BULKHEADS.

Why will not American ship builders prof
it by repeated teaching of experience that
all steamers should be divided into water
tight compartments 1t turns out the Cen
TRIAL AMERIcA-like nearly every other lost
steamer-lnight have been saved by them.
The lesson, both Of the appalling loss Of the
Arctic and tho safe escape Of the Vesta,
were both forgotten, and now new Leca-
tomb of victoms is offered up by our care
less builders.
The English are wiser than we are in this.
Their vessels surpass ours as much in safety
as ours do theirs in speed. No steamship is
launched now from AN English ship yard
that is not subdivided by water proof bulk
heads, so that she absolutely cannot fill and
sink
Contrast with the Arctic and Central
America those two Canadian steamers, the
Canadian and the Clyde, recently wrecked
among the fogs and reefs of the St. Law
renee. STAYED and broken as they were,
they were buoyed up in safety by their air
tight divisions. Every passenger, officer, and
seaman was landed unframed, and most OF
them even saved their baggage. Had they
been American built nearly every soul on
board would have been lost.-AAany Jour-

On motion Of Col Thomas the chairman appoin-

iaferro, Simeon Thomas and j. c. Hughes Esqrs.,

sense Of the meeting.

The committee reported the following resolutions:
Whereas the contract for the construction Of the
leyee across the mouth of Big Bayou is to be let
out on the 10th inst at Richmond, and, whereas,
it is important that the work should be arrested
therefore

WALKER AND HIS SECOND EXPEDITk
TO NICARAGUA.

/. IS now supposed 70 be settled, tpet,
Walker viii again attempt revolutioEi4
Nicaragua. It is believed that he ~
succeeded in obtaining men and monq br
the purpose, and that he vii! shortly dd3art
for the arena of his intended operati ~
Tha. the getting up Of these forays against
countries with which the United States are
on terms Of amitv, is a direct violation of our
neutrality laws every body knows but every
body knows also, that these laws are a mere
dead letter, and like many other laws, State
and National 10 Free America" cannot be
enforced. The United States Government
AS pro lorna matter, has issued its interdct
and ordered its officers to be on the aler; to
detect and arrest all persons found contrave-
ming It's laws in relation to Neutrality; but
there arc few who 90 not believe that the gov
, esnment secret. sanctions these expeditions
and those engaged in them, laugh at the
prentended 0: futile eito rts to suppress hem.
That Walker w i'll 60, with force great
OF small to Nicaragua, there IS We imagine,
no doubt. That he may, when he gets there,
be successful, is not impossible. The chal-
acter Of the people he is going among is such
as to ,ende. his objects attainable. They
are ignorant, :mbeci!e. treacherous and de-
graded. They are precisely such race OF
beings as such genera! as Walker, and
such men AS follow him, would be likely to
conquer But On the otLer hand he may
fail again, and il is nothing more than right
| that those who embark in this second enter
prise with him, should know that the Costa
Rican Government has issued its proclams-
ton, making known that second entrance
by Walker into Nicaragua with hostile IN
tsntions, viii! be treated by that Government
as an act Of piracy, and that those rartici
pating il It will be treated as pirates.-
Walker and his followers then have notice
that if taken in that country in the &C. 0.
instigating revolution and war they will
meet the fate that betel Lopez and his men
in Cuba and Bragg and his troop in Mexico
