The prairie news. [volume] (Okolona, Miss.) 1851-1875, 1858-07-01


We went to Aberdeen last Monday,
and heard the hero of Nicaragua dis.
course on Central American affairs. The
whole speech was a plain unvarnished
statement of the circumstances attending
his first and second expeditions to Mica
ragua--the substance of which all our
readers have doubtless read repetition
Is therefore unnecessary. Suffice it to
say, he, together with other Americans,
were invited there by one of the political
parties Of the country, which made large
grants of land to him and his compan-
ions. When the Americans were about
gaining foothold the jealousy of the
neighboring State of Costa Rica was
aroused, and armies were sent from that
country to expel them. But success did
not crown their efforts, till aided by Capt.
Davis, of the United States vessel, St.
Marys, who forced Walker to surrender
himself and company to United States
forces. His subsequent expedition, after
every assurance from President Buchan-
an and others high in office, was defeated
by the interference of Com. Paulding.-
His speech was singularly characterized
by modesty-scarcely an allusion to him.
self was made, and he shows in words as
he has ever done in actions, his devotion
to the South and her institutions. He
closed his speech by appealing to the
mothers of Mississippi, to bid their sons
buckle on the armor of war, and battle
for the institutions-for the honor of our
Sunny South, and called upon the mai
dens of the land, who had lovers sueing
for favor to smile on none until they
should give active aid to the cause, not
of himself, but to the cause of Nicara-
guam freedom-to the cause of the South
Gen. Walkers powers of elocution have
been either misrepresented or he has
greatly improved. When speaking his
seems lighted up with an
fire, and his eyes glisten in such
a manner as to give one a good idea Of
the soul they mirror. We believe Gen.
Walker will yet succeed in establishing
himself, and instituting American Gus
toms and laws in Nicaragua; and now,
now is the time for those who profess
such love for the South to show their |
ights--to come out in their true colors.
There is, and should be, no partyism in
his question, and every one who really
s lover of the South will sustain and
i'd it.

LOVE AND SUICIDE.

A very pretty Irish girl committed
suicide in Memphis last week by jumping
in the river. She had been engaged to
be married for some time, but her affi-
anced husband having repeatedly refused
to marry, after all preparations had been
made, she sought and found a refuge from
cruelty and disappointment by drowning
herself. A self-destroying mania seems
to rage everywhere-it seems to attack
with the same epidemical indiscrimina-
ton as does the yellow fever, or cholera.
Why is it? Is it the sultriness of the
weather that causes such depression Of
spirits as to make life burthen, when
ever the slightest accident occurs to dis
turb the pleasure current of life 1t is
notorious fact that more people destroy
themselves in this, than any other season
of the year; at least in the United States.
Inhabitants of other nations differing in
habits and tastes, may prefer to shuttle
off this mortal COLL" in seasons not quite
so warm and dispiriting, but in this, as
in all other things, we claim for Ameri-
cans both native and naturalized, the
palm of knowing just how and when to
do it

NEWS

is very scarce. The Mormon war is
dried up-nothing interesting from In
dia-no recent duel-no congressman
have called each other ga liar" within
the past week. In fact newspaper men
are in desperate straight. One editor,
doubtless not wishing to send out his pa
per with no news in it at all, caps long
article 1.-The Emperor of China coming
to his Senses" We have just finished it,
but cannot decide which is crazy the edi-
tor or the Emperor. For the past two
weeks we have been trying to understand
something about the great, much talked
of Pacific Railroad, in order to post our
readers on the subject, but there are so
many ends to the tale told about it, we
cease our efforts, and let it slide. On the
frontiers the Indians have been at some
mischief lately-killed couple or so
men-stole dozen or two horses-injurv
not very extensive, and scarcely worth
talking about. The British cruisers have
searched American vessels to their salts
faction, and quit off of their own accord
reckon they'll try some other way to
insult Uncle Sam, as they see they can't
do it by firing into his vessels. If we
were near enough we'd whisper in the
ear of some gallant Britisher to get after
Com. Paulding, and blow him to old
Nick faster than John Gilpin's horse
could carry him. That would be good
news.

EDITORS PRAIRIE News: On yester-
day, COL f. ABBOTT read to me letter
from one Of the Directors of the Mobile &
Ohio Railroad, containing synopsis of a
letter from Judge Brown, in London, adj
dressed to the Directory at Mobile.
Judge Brown reached London on 25th
May, and it seems commenced business
operations Immediately. His letter bears
date 2Sth, three days after his arrival
He states that he had had several con-
ferences with the capitalists and manu-
facturers, who met him cordially and
kindly, and the Board infer from the gen.
eral tone of his letter that he anticipates
no difficulty in effeeting negotiation for
iron enough to complete the road. The
Board are looking daily for further news
from him, so that we shall soon know the
result of his negotiations. At the sug-
gestion of Col. A. | give you these items,
so that you may condense in form, and
give as news to the many friends of the
road. Very Respectfully,

0LThe Mobile and Ohio Railroad, we
are glad to learn, is quietly and surely
making its way to completion. Two
gangs of tracklayers are busily at work
on the northern end, between Columbus
(Ky.) and Jackson (Tenn.) and that part
Of the road will be ready for operating by
the first of October, thus connecting with
the Memehis and Central road of Mis-
sissippi.
The President of the road, as our rea-
ders are eware, is now in Europe for the
purpose of obtaining all the iron that is
necessary to complete the work, and no
doubt of his success is entertained.

By Southern Coagressmea-that it is a
purely local and domestic question, with
which the South will permit no inteffer-
ence from outsiders.
The South must at once take this or
similar ground, or prepare to submit qui-
city and pbilosophically to any degrade
ton an arrogant and aggressive majority
may infict. We are tired of paying the
North to abuse us. We are tired of see
ing the great interests of the country
neglected, to give place to discussions
which are insulting to every Southern
man. We say again this slavery agita-
ton must cease or there is no safety to
the South.-LaGrange (Ga. Reporter.
The above is from one of the most
rampant tire-eating journals in the South.
1t is to this they will all have to come at
last. 1t is the position which the Wing
has always occupied. The slavery agi-
tation must cease, and the Southern agi-
tator, as well as the Northern traitor,
must alike be held up to popular scorn
and Indignation. Let the South send
conservative men to Congress, instead of
men whose only reputation consists in
recommending or advocating some meas
ure totally destitute of practical utility.
When the fiery hotspurs and agitators
are kept at home. then the slavery agita-
ton will cease. Let the South take high
constitutional ground-stop agitation at
home, and it must then stop at the North.

to this, for it is their characteristic to take
an ell when an inch is granted. We are
no advocate of agitation, if it could be
on both sides, but the n ortherners
commenced the system, and we say let
them be the first to abolish it. Let them
establish a precedent which we could
with honor follow let them cease to send
out their Abolition emissaries; let them
cease to wrangle and fume over the
wrongs of the negro-in short, let them
mind their own business, then agitation
will cease.

CENTRAL AMERICA,

The news from Central America is
somewhat startling in its character. A
French diplomist has procured an inter-
oceanic canal grant, and will Immediately
commence the construction of canal
across the lsthmus. French men of war
are to be placed to guard the San Juan
river and lake Nicaragua, for the term Of
ninety-nine years, and it is stated over
the signatures of two Presidents de facto,
and one Ex-President, that the two re-
publics of Costa RIGA and Nicaragua are
placed "under the guarantee of the three
Powers who have caused the indepen-
dence and nationality of the Ottoman en-
pire to be respected-namely, France,
England and Sardinia"
The New York Herald says:
,"This document, if it be what it really
purports to be, is the most solemn and
gratuitous insult ever given to nation j;
and we call upon the government, the
moment it receives official assurance that
such declaration has been made by the
Presidents of Costa Rica and Nicaragua,
to send their passports Immediately to Sc
nores Molina and Yrisarri, and to ask
from Mons. Sartiges categorical answer
whether the government of France au-
thorizes these post prandial proceedings
of Mons Belly! And if the President
has not the power to take immediate ac-
ton in the premises, let him call Con
gress together at once, to pass the meas
ures necessary to secure an immediate
recognition of our rights upon the entire
American Isthmus. With England pro-
tecting the Honduras route, France in
possession of Nicaragua, New Granada
ready to sell the Panama line to Euro
pean capitalists, and Mexico aiming for a
European protectorate over its territory,
including Tehuantepec, we shall soon find
ourselves driven from the American 18th
mus, our communication with our Pacific
empire cut off, and our prestige as a ma
ton gone. Let the government act at
once.
