Commodore Paulding's Letter.

Commodore Paulding's letter to the Secretary Of
War, relating to the capture of Gen. Walker and
his men, is said to be most lame and impotent
excuse for his extraordinary conduct We have
not yet seen the letter. but it is said to abound in
such epithets as "pirates," "outlaws," men who
left our shores for rapne, murder" &c. The Com
modore says hesaw no way Of vindicating the law,
other than the arrest of these persons. He says
he is sensible of the responsibility he has incur
red, but confidently looks to the Government for q
justification of his course. He says that General
Walker established his camp, and without the au-
thorty of law raised the Nicaraguan fag-claim-
ed to be commander Of the Nicaraguan army
seized the property of the people-killed men
made prisoners of peaceabe inhabitants-and,
consequently must be regarded as an outlaw and
murderer: Humanity, he says, as well as nation
al honor, demanded his arrest.
This letter may satisfy the Administration as to
the justiiableness of his course, but it will not
satisfy the people. They feel that righteous and
lust cause has been defeated by the untimely and
unauthorized interference of Naval officer, and
a great and noble man most shamefully and cow
ardly dealt with, and unless the Administration
clearly and distinctly expresses its dsapprobation,
by relieving him of his command, it will lose cast
at the South, where it has now its only strength.

TOWN COUNCIL ELECTION.

Nessrs Editors An election will take place,
the second Monday in February next, for the
Town Council of Yorkvile. In advance Of any
excitement on that occasion, we would address
few pacific and dispassionatc tmarks to the good
citizens of our fourishing town. \ short review
of our past history-not with the intention of
narrowing up old animosities-but for the purpose
of correctly estimating our progress, will neither
prove unintercsting nor uninstructivc. There was
n time-and it is not long since, when such
quiet, orderly and cirdi:|" election as that held
on Monday last would have been miracle There
was time when such an occasion would have
elected all the bad passions of the human heart,
md called forth an exhibition not of true courage
and noble prowess, but of illnature fermented
by wine, and of black. k.guardism which would do
credit to the bedlamtes of Five Polnts-the
sink hole of New York. But that time has passed
away new order of things has arisen-and We
would ask the candid observer if there is not
manifest Improvement on the old regime? We
have now, what every true patriot and intelligent
imbued with the spirit of temperance, that our
candidates find it to their interest to ignore the
treating system-a method of bribery not the less
disgraceful because Of its legality. We have
now, nearer than at any former period IN
my recollection an approximation to the idea of
free suffrage. We have in short, the most order
ly, moral and consistent district in the State
Does any one deny this? We challenger refuta-
ton. And to what causeis this observable change
for the better to be attributed? 1t can only be
attributed to the spirit of temperance pervadlns
the community and acting through temperate
Town Council. Candor will compel every one to
admit this Whether the change is desirable or
not, may be q question with some, but the cause
of that change is well-known. But is there q

Com. Paulding's Instructions.

The following is said to be acopy of the instruc-
tions sent to Com. Paulding:
Sr:-From information received at this De-
partment, there is reason to believe that lawless
persons now engaged within the limits Of the Uni
ted States in setting on foot and preparing the
means for military expeditions, to be carried on
against the territories of Mexico, Nicaragua and
Costa Rica-rrpublics with whom the United
States are at peace-in violation of the sixth sec
ton of the act Of Congress approved 2G'h April,
1818
And under the eighth section of the said act, it
is made lawful for the President or such persons
as he shall empower, "to employ the land and ma
val forces of the United States, and the militia
thereof, for the purpose of preventing the carry
ing on of any such expedition or enterprise from
the territories or jurisdiction of the q. States"
am, therefore, directed by the President to call
your attention to the subject, and to urge you to
use all due diligence, and to avail yourself Of all
legitimate means at your command, to enforce
these and all other provisions of the said act
of Goth April, 1918, against those who may be
found to be engaged in setting on foot or pre-
pairing military expeditions against the territories
of Mexico, Costa Rca and Nicaragua, so mani
festly preudcal to the national character, and so
injurious to the national interest. And you are,
ALSO hereby instructed promptly to communicate
to this Department the earliest information you
may receive relative to such expedition.

Lotteries.

In alluding to the bad moral effect upon the
country in our Legislature chartering such privi-
leges, and that too, for educational and benicent
purposes, the Atlanta American declares them, in
its Judgment more detrimental to the pecuniary
and moral interests of society than even "wild cat
banking" 1t charges that this chartered priyi-
lege, to raise by lottery in our State, 81, 500
years snce-has been sold 10 parties out Of the
State upon the payment of one dollar per annum,
for the use Of it-that in one case "the holder Of
the charter of one of these lotteries is citizen of
New York city. He advertised in some Of the pa
pers of that city. It so happened that widow
lady drew prize of 81 200, for which she appli-
ed Instead of paying up like an honorable gam
bier, she was cody told that the laws of n. York
forbid lotteries, the advertising Of them, and the
sale of tickets, and that they should not pay
The managers in New York positively laughed in
her face, and defed the law. After some delay,
she gave her case in charge of eminent counsel in
this city, Atlanta who were enabled finally to
compromise for 5000! Thus she was defrauded
of $500, besides the delay and vexation conse-
quent upon their nefarious attempts to swindle her
out of the whole .HAlsdgsville Recorder.
The purchasers Of tickets in the Atlanta lottery
should require an explanation of the affair before
they proceed to invest further in the institution at
that place, known as the Fort Gains Academy
Lottery.

Not only this, but he had rega;ned possession Of
valuable American property, unlawfully held by
Costa Rican soldiers, and had given the order to
restore it to the agent claiming it for the owners
Permit me 20 ask whether it is such acts as these
which authorise your naval officers to apply to US
the vilcst epithets Of the language:
Scarcely, however, had the possession of Castil-
10 Viego opened to us the way to the Lake Mica
ragua and to the regaining of all we had lost by
Capt. Davis interference, than most grievous
wrong was inflicted on US by Commodore Paul
ding. On the 9Th of December the latter officer
summoned me to surrender 10 him and the Nicara-
guam flag was second time hauled down on Mic
araguan soil by the orders of the United States
Navy"
General Walker adds that mr. ;h as he felt the
wrong, as he considers it, committed by Commo-
dore Paulding, he felt still n9re keenly the decla-
ration of that officer, that Walker was dishonoring
the United States. He winds up with an express
sion of his determination to proceed in his Central
American enterprise, and to avenge the wrongs Of
Nicaragua.
