turned the call of commander Foote, aud

Ia, Bay of Hakodadi is spacious and
easy of access. The harbor is completely
la unlocked, is about twelve fatboms
aeel aud will contain two hundred sail.
The anchorage is perfectly secure at all
time. These advantages, combined with
the heathiness of the climate the, means
of obtaining supplies, and the kind dis
position OF the people render Hakoda Xxi
most desirable station for man of-war;
while, its position as to California, its i'm
portance to Russia large trade is open
ing with the Amor river, the mineral
wealth of the island Judging from the
quantity of copper used in fastening and
ornalnenting the ,junks, and more espe-
cially from the samples of gold dust
found within ten miles of Hakodadi;) ad-
ded to the coal mines in that vicinity, to-
gether with the general resources of the
country, make it worthy, according to
Commander Foote'S report, Of consdera-
ton not only as place of resort for our
men-of-war and whaling ships, but also
as an auxiliary depot for Government
stores.
Since the arrival of the American Com
mercial Agent, Mr.. Rice, at Hakodadi in
May last, four American whalers and FIVE
merchant vessels anchored in the harbor.
| Mr.. Rice informed Commander Foote that
on the 7th of October last there were seve-
raj vessels at the coal mines, some go miles
distant from Hakodadi, waiting for their
cargoes.
The President. hear, has expressed
himself favorable to restoration to the
active list of all the officers who were
affected by the action of the Retiring
Board.

be found highly interesting and impor-
tant dispatch, giving late official advices
from China and Japan.
A special dispatch to the Cincinnati
Gazette denies Mondays report of a bat
tie having taken place in Kansas between
General Lane and the U. S. troops.
1t is said the administration await with
great interest the arrival of the ratified
Yrrizarri treaty, expected from Nicaragua.
This treaty, if ratified by the U. S. Sen
ate, will put an end to flibusterism on
private account, but will make it a matter
OF public concern. 1t gives lis the COM
mand of the lsthmus region. 1t protects
American citizens and property in the
Isthmian ports, and gives us the right to
protect the transit by military force. This
government, it is believed, will not be
slow to employ the privilege of the trea-
ty, but will eagerly avail themselvcs of
the same, well knowing that it must
speedily lead to the A.Inericanization of
the Isthmps
1t is stated that the Pennsylvania State
Treasurer vii have in the treasury not
only enough money to pay the interest
failing due on the first of February, but
about two hundred thousand dollars be-
side.
The New York papers state that the
late Mayor Of that city, Fernando Wood,
will shortly leave for an extended tour in
Europe.
James P. Donnelly, convicted Of the
murder of Albert S. Moses, at the Sea
View House, in Shrewsbury, N. j., will
belhung on Friday next.
Cincinnati, according to an estimate of
the Gazette, has a population of 244 1000
inhabitants; an increase in ten years Of
over $1,000. Tue value of manufactures
and industry is set down at $50 900 900

SFOOI KiJlerS.,,

The interference of Commodore Pauld-
ing in the affairs of General Walker is
not likely to meet with general approba-
hon, throughout the South at least. The
feeling that has operated in the minds of
the Anglo-Saxon race, and made that
race the instrument of progression of the
human family towards civilization and
refinement heretofore, is not yet quite ex-
tinct, nor will it be until the aims of
manifest Destiny are carried out. The
powers that be- may for time throw OBJ
stacles in the way of the great movement;
but to crush it entirely is beyond the pow
or OF human government. General WAL
ker and his feeble army may be swept
from the face of the earth; but will that
stop the business of filibustering on this
continent. Assuredly not. Was not fl
clustering followed before General Wal
ker was born. We think we might find
abundant Of evidences of the existence of
this practice by referring to the early histo-
ryofthe settlement of this country, without
looking to England to trace it's workings.
1t true, England may be the patron
saint OF this great sin--if sin it is-when
her own interest prompts her to carry
out such movements; but the seed
Drought from that country and planted
here has fourished and been the means
Of bringing forth good fruit to the
p glory and honor of the "Great Republic"
and we think we might look over manv
OF the short comings of our parent and
tutor when we take into consideration
the great good we are likely to bring
forth from the e0a she has taught us.
We do not propose here to take a gen.
erai view ofthe state of affairs of these
tumble down South American States
Things are about as bad there as they can
we'll be: The worn out races who occu-
py that soil are but awaiting the grub.

Worse than Filibustering.

We think it will be viewed IS worse
than tilibustering on the part of strong
and powerful government to NEEDLE with
affairs that do not concern them in the
way our government has done with Gen.
Walkers army, and after taking these
men away from their homes in their des-
tltute condition to bring them here and
turn them out upon the charities of our
citizens without making any provision
whatever for their maintenance.

DEATH OF A WIDOW AT PRAYERS "A
lady named Catharine Gray, who resided
in Newark, N. j., fell dead in her house
at an early hour on Tuesday morning,
while at prayer.-Her death is attributed
to grief and depression of spirits by the
death of her husband, who was lost by
the wreck Of the Central America, on
which he was passenger. Both the
death of herself and husband have been
occasioned by the delay in the reception
Of letter by her husband, who was in
California. He sent q letter containing
a check for $3.50, and stated that when
she acknowledged its receipt he would
forward another. By some means the
letter was delayed, and number of stea-
mers having arrived since he wrote, with
out bringing him an answer from his wife
ne feared that something was wrong. and
took passage home in the Inflated Cen
trail America, and met watery grave
Three children, the eldest but two wears
old, are now left orphans.

THE subscriber having commenced bust
i ness in Norfolk, would respectfully call
the attention of his friends and the public
generally to his New Hat Store situated on
Church Street doors from Main Street.
He hopes, with his extensive acquaintance
among the young men of Norfolk, and his
numerous friends Of Portsmouth who have so
iberaly patronized him since he commenced
business, to secure portion of their trade,
and will give them the most positive assur-
ance of his intention to please all who may
wish a neat, fashionable and durable HAi 4.
With an experience of years in Norfolk,
in the Manufacture of Hats, and having ac-
quired his knowledge from one of the most
finished Hatters, he feels confident that Hats
manufactured by him cannot be excelled if
equalled, by any other maker. Orders thank
fully received and promptly attended to.
Call gentlemen, and give us the size of your
craniums for good Hat.

They are but eumberers of the earth, and
the husbandmen who can "tnm them
in, in the shortest possible time will be
comforting lasting blessing ON the hui,
man race hereafter to inhabit that por-
ton of the earth.
We don't propose that these poor dew
lis shall be murdered, by no means; but
merely Americanized- that's the word.
Give them little taste of Texas, and see
if that won't produce different state of
affairs among them. By the bye, speak
ing of Texas, didn't John Bull cry ell
clustering" when Jonathan "took a no.
ton to Texas. And amt this same Mr..
Bull one of the greatest fllibusters the
world ever saw. Amt he poking round
into every hole and corner of the earth,
tilibustering every patch he can lay his
"stealers" on. And aint he a soon :'old
fox" in raising the cry Of "stop thief" in
order to keep all the 'fine chances" to him
self. That's so. But whether we are
to suffer ourselves to be bambozell-
ed by him, is different part of the ques-
ton.
In regard to General Walkers army,
we look upon them as "fool killers. p
They were rather on mission of mercy
than one of plumber, and we regret the
interference on the part of this govern
ment in the matter. They migrated to
that country as the bearers of civilization
to an almost barbarous nation Their
course may have been marked by the hor-
rors and devastation of war for time;
but what inestirnable blessings would it
have conferred on its inhabitants in
few short years. Let us look to Texas
and compare her condition now with her
condition before the operation of this
same "filibuster movement" reclaimed
her from her semi-savage state. She is
now one of the most hourishing States in
the Union-thanks to the filibusters. or
"fool killers" Nicaragua needs but the
same enlightening influences to be bought
into operation among her citizens, to rem
der her likewise. This would be effec-
ted with less bloodshed by General Wal
ker and bis army than would be spilled by
her own people in score of years, in their
contests for supremacy and plumber, as at
present witnessed in that unhappy coun-
try.
In our issue of yesterday we gave "Fair
Play" hearing without comments. We
think, ourselves that Commodore Pauld-
Ing had no more to do with General Wal
ker and his army than he would have to
do with President Comonfort in Mexico.
And as affairs are at present, we see no
alternative, but that some one is to be
Sac'yfce0-who it is, "we shouldn't like
to say" but we don't believe it will be
Walker or his army. They may come
in for benefit in that line at the hands
OF the Costa Ricans, but we rather think
the Commodore has walked up the wrong
passenger and will find things hard to
settle, after matters begins to get a little
unravelled. Public sentiment seems to
have settled down to the conclusion
that the Commodore has rather "put
his foot into it," and we think so too.
