MoBnE.-Nov 19.--There is much ex.
element in our city in regard to the Ncara'
guam Expedition.
Over three hundred emigrants assembled
this morning and appointed acommittee Of
forty-seven who waited on the agent of the
Southern Emigration Society, and demanded
an immediate passage to Nicaragua as prom,
ised in the agents advertisement, or the re,
funding, of the money paid for their passage
Serious trouble is anticipated unless some
satisfactory arrangement can be made.
MOBILE, Nov. l9.-The crowds of emil
grants and citizens which were assembled
about the Custom, House, the Office Of the
Agent of the Southern Emigrant Society,
and other places, have dispersed, and tempo
rary quiet has been restored.
Gen. Smith, the Deputy Collector Of this
port, assures the Nicaragua emigyants that
the om.house officers are daily expecting
to receive Instructions from the Department
at Washington, which are reported to be on
the way, respecting the clearance Of the yes
sci intended to convey them to Greytown.
He also states that definite information
will probably be given to the emigrants to-
night or tomorrow.

JACKSON, Nov. 10, 1909
DEAR DEMOCRAT: This short letter is induced
by iiattering expression of regard paidus by an
individual from Benton. We this morning re-
ceived his daguerreotype, which' was so perfectly
executed as to leave no doubt Of its being -,
Of that place. We were before ignorant of the
fact that be holds us in such high esteem, and
therefore entertain all the gratitude that an agree
able surprise could engender. The picture repre-
scented q huge bull chained to sapling The
prominent and striking features of the animal
were an appearance Of stupidity and malicious
meanness. These two features, combined with
a physical phenomenon untitled for rehearsal to
ears polite. constituted the chief excellence and
fidelity of the picture, as we'll as it stamped the
original as the artist of his own likeness. No
stranger could paint so true to nature.
But while we acknowledge with all duo graft
tude our thanks for the complimentary present.
yet must we insist upon the gentleman's not de-
priving his sweethearts of so acceptable an offer
ing. We therefore recommend, supposing some
PGsiphql may smile upon him, that he in future
present the shadows of his bull-like face to the
most respectable heifer in the neighborhoOd We
will excuse him from farther contributionsto your
obedient servant, c.

SEwARD's INoENDTARy SPEEoH.-The Roches-
ter speech of Seward, says the Mississippian,
authOritatively announcing the Black Republican
programme and proClaiming the destruction of
slavery to be the aim of the organization of which
he is the recognized mouth piece, is striking up
the fires of Southern resentment and eliciting the
exhibition of a feeling which prompts us to hope
and believe that in the impending crisis the South
will be true to herself. The Charleston Ne0s
utters this language of6xed resolve and stern def
ance:
That twelve millions Of people. blessed with
the intelligence and manhood of white civilization,
sustained by boundess and extraordinary resour
ces; possessed of an imperialdomain, exerting a
powerful influence over the industry and interests
Of the civilized world. should lack the energy to
strike blow for the defence of their very hearth
stones to repudiate with scorn vassalage to Yam
keedom and to resume and maintain their own
self-government for their own prosperity, indie
pendence and power, is not within our compre-
hension. We are ready to strike it now now
that e believe it to be both necessity and policy,
and to do it in the form Of q formal and prompt
severance Of the South and the North"

OUR LATE MINISTER TO Mexico. The
Mobile Tribune of Tuesday says:
1T will be seen in another place that the
U S. sloop of-war Plymouth arrived in the
bay on Sunday night, bringing the Hon.
John Forsyth Mexican Minister) and his
family, who, we are pleased to learn, are in
excellent health. No person could be more
welcome to the city. Mr.. Forsyth has won
reputation in his brief ambassadorial ca
reer which is honorable to himself and ap.
preciated generally within the country, aud
especially by our own Mobile people. Not
only this, but his boldness, promptitude
ind intellectual vigor in the difficult duties
which fell in his way when the Mexican
government assumed The right to Cypress our
citizens soiourning in Mexico, were the adj
miration and an example for the European
ambassadors in that distracted country. IF
Mr.. Forsyth does not return to Mexico, we
trust that the Administration may succeed
in finding citizen who will not mar the good
work be has there set on foot"
A letter Of the 9th inst, from the Mexican
Capitol, published in the Bee of this city,
says:
"Your Minister, Mr.. Forsyth, has depart
ed, leaving behind the reputation of blum.
derer and an oficious intermediary who has
injured himself without bene6tting Others"
live had few more such "intermeddlers"
in different parts of the world whittier our
citizens are called by business or pleasure, it
would be fortunate for the latter aud for the
honor Of our flag. The great fault with most
of our foreign representatives is that they
shut their eyes to their most important du-
ties by ignoring the existence of any case in
which an American citizen needs their pro-
lection. Regarding the conduct of Mr. For
syth, it is enough for us to know that he
incurred the displeasure Of the anarchical
Zuloaga faction by resisting, so far as our
countrymen are concerned, its unjust aud ty-
ranical measures against the rights of prop.
erty and personal liberty. The statement
in Mexican paper that he concerned hms
self about the political affairs of the country
is probably sheer fabrication IN. o. Ores.

THE NIcARAGUANs.--Ou city has for
some time past been full of adventurers pre-.
pared for embarkation in the Nicaragua emi>
grafton party. Not few Of them are No.

country. Everybody, we think, must have
been struck with the superior character Of
this party when compared with the material
Of former expeditions. 1t is not composed
of reckless desperate men, an element unfor,
tunately too predominant in Gen. Walker
former forces, and to the rIedominance OF
which most of his mscarriages were in a
great degree attributable. On the contrary,
they are men Of resolute, yet gentlemanly
bearing, prepared to risk everything person
al for the success of the enterprise, but not
to jeopardize it by any act which may bring
reproach upon the cause or give rise to un
favorable imputations as to their motives-
There is necessarily some chaff among the
sound grain; many men of low and vulgar
aims are perfectly willing to attach them
selves to the expedition, to feed upon its
stores, and in hopes Of sharing the plumber
of Nicaragua but it is pleasing to see the
wnnowing process which is going onto
observe how the officers aud men repudiate
all such persons as soon as heir true charac

MURDERS IN MISSOURI.

The St. Louis Republican of the 10th
inst. gives the following account of muir
der in Galloway county, and another in
johnson county:
Some time since, good deal of feeling
was excited in the community by the at
tempts of white man, whose name is not
remembered, and of slave in league with
him, to entice away negroes from their mas
tiers. Their Vaccinations were discovered
and they we're finally arrested and lodged in
jail-the negro to be detained until he
could be sold, and his white confederate TO
await trial before the proper Court. Even
ing before last, Mr.. Nesbitt, the jailor, for
merly sheriff of Galloway county, repaired a
little after dark to the apartment of his
prisoners to give them supper AS be en-
red the doorway, the negro struck him
over the head with an iron bar, killing him
instantly.
The two then made their escape and fled
rapidly in the direction of Jefferson City.
A party organized for the pursuit of the
murderers. traced them to the river bank
opposite that place, when all signs we're lost.
The white man is heavy set in person,
weighs one hundred and seventy-fve or
eighty pounds and has sandy hair and wills
kers. The murder produced much excite
ment at Fulton, and the citizens seemed
determined to secure the perpetrators at any
cost.
The second is little less deplorable, as it
may result fatally to the party assaulted
the present State Senator from the District
composed of the counties of Benton, john
son and Henry, Mr. Goodlet. The latter
resides in Henry county, but a day or two
since was stopping in Warrensburg, the
county seat Of johnson county, probably for
the purpose of attending court there, as he
is a lawyer by profession. We have no &C.
count of the circumstances that induced the
assault further than that Mr.. Goodlet was
called upon to give his opinion in case in
which one Williams, dentist, formerly Of
Jefferson, vas an interested party. Mr.. G.
gave an opinion unfavorable to Williams,
when the latter drew knife and stabbed
him several times 50 severely that it is
thought impossible for him to recover
Williams was instantly conveyed to Jail to
await the result of the assault If this
proved fatal it was supposed he would be
lynched, as the citizens of Warrensburg
were greatly infatuated at the act, and the
prisoner has been in very bad odor in the
town ever since he assumed a residence in It.
