for Port an Prince on the 18th inst,
was fallen in with on Saturday last,
$50 miles s. S. 4. from Barncgat, by
tho Panama Railroad Company's brig
Caroline, Capt. Whiteberry. The /.
i. had been in collision with some
large vessel, which had cut her bow
down to the waters edge, and carried
away her bowsprit and all her head
gear. She had been abandoned by her
crew in a sinking condition, and had
six feet Of water in her hold. She was
taken in charge by the First Mate Mr..
JonS PoKrER) and two seamcn OF the
Caroline, who, after clearing the wreck,
stopping the hole in bows and pump
ing her ont, set sail for New York.
The vessel and cargo are valued at
$4,000. She is in the possession of
the Panama Railroad Company. The
vessel and cargo were mostly insured
in New York. The passengers, as
well as the crew, have doubtless csca-
ped on board the vessel with which
they were in collision and will be heard
from at some other Atlantic port.
We have news Of a number Of fright
ful murders. A Virginia farmer named
Watkins, residing in Surrey County,
was murdered by three Of his slaves on
thc.'1Gth inst. The fatal blows were
inflicted by boy, only IA years old,
who had two other slaves to aid him
in disposing Of the body. In Barry
County, Michigan, Mrs. Jane Harding
was assaulted by gang Of ruflians
tarred and icathcrcd, and afterwards
murdered. AT the University of Ala
bama a student named Nabors was shot
by fellow student, d. A. Herring. In
Texas, five persons have been killed by
lynch law, under circumstances Of nm
usual horror. A woman is un-
der arrest at Buffalo, charged with
her husband at Chicago last
week.
The Rev. Zacharia Greene, of Hemp
stead, l.. l., soldier of the Revolution
died, aged 80 years, last Monday even
ing. lie entered the army at the age
of lG years, served under Washington
until severe wound compelled him to
retire, studied for the ministry, entered
the pulpit, and has preached the Cos
pei until within very few years past.
The Mississippi is falling at Cairo,
but the Ohio is exactly at stand. 1t
is undoubtedly to the centre line Of the
river, but there is .ch vast space Of
country to drain, that no fall is as yet
proceptiblc. The VIM. Dickson re-
ports another rise in the Tennessee
river, and the Ohio was rising at Pa
ducah.
There is no change of importance
in the condition Of Carlo, except that
two or three houses in the upper part
of town have cantcd over or iloated OF,
and large quantities of logs and other
drift were got out through the outlet
ting crcvassc. The water inside is
still on stand, although :. is running
ont at the new Mississippi crevassc,
and also into the Ohio, for space of
some 800 feet, over the Lcycc at Will
Jams mill.

adjournment, for the very purpose Of
preventing the proposition OF plan OF
compromise,-who meet not only with
the unqualified condensation OF every
national Democrat, but also, will fail TO
receive the support or countenance,
of the persons who are friendly to their
views on the Lecompton question:
They alone arc responsible for the con-
sequences which cnsucd from the Ia
ling of the resolution in support Of
of the general policy of the Admins
tration, and upon their shoulders,-if
the second Convention shall be the
cause of permanent differcnce,-the
party will place the blame.
The course Of the Democrat, upon
the Lecompton question is too well
known to need extended repetition
With no object to gain, except the in
tcrcsts Of the party, no government
patronage for which to express our
gratitude, and no personal or pccnniary
end to accomplish, We have support
ed the present Democratic Admins
tration as matter Of principle anG
right. Our opinion, most unqualified
ly expressed, is, that, for the interests
of the candidates who have been nomi-
mated, and Of the party, the resolution
offered, sustaining the general
policy Of the Administration, should
have been adopted by the Convention;
and that the national Democracy in
holding the second Convention, acted,
not only with propriety, but adopted
the only course left for them under the
circumstances. We shall hereafter
discuss this matter more at length to-
gether with the personal merits of the
candidates on the ticket.

No WAsHISGroS.-A young friend of ours
tells the following story regarding himself:
When young he had read the well known
story of g. Washington's love of this noble
principle in his son, so we'll manifested on
tho occasion of Georges cutting down the
cherry tree) and receiving full and free par
don, be sides praises and kind caresses from
his father. So jim, actuated by 30 noble
an example, also thought to try the expert
ment. lie armed himself with Ratchet,
and going into the orchard, cut down some
chosen fruit trees. lie then coolly sat
down to wait the old mans coming. and as
soon as he made his appearance marched up
to him with very important air and ac-
knowledged the deed expecting the next
thing on the programme to be tears, benedic-
tions and embraces from his parent But
sad to relate, instead of this, the old gentle
men caught up hickory and gave him an
"a)l-fred lamming." Jim was no Washing
ton.

Tho action OF tho State Convention.

Individual opinions upon the course
taken by the Democracy in the late
Conventions held at Iowa City, should
not be unadviselly formed. Our success
or defeat in the coming contest and the
welfare Of the party for years to come
depends entirely upon the disposition
which is cvinccd by the individual
members of the party to conciliatc and
compromise.
notwithstanding the difference of
opinion which existed among the men,
bcrs of the Convention in relation to
the Lccompton question, there is no
reason why all branches, wings and
sections OF the party, should not sup
port the State ticket which has been
placed in nomination.. The one Con-
vention by their action in making the
nominations, and the other by rcsolu-
tion,: agreed most heartily to support
the persons who had been selected as
the standard bearers of the democracy
Of the State of Iowa. No questions
we're asked of the candidates as to their
position upon the only question Of diff
ference in the party-thc only cnqui-
rics made when each candidate was
presented for the sutlragcs of the Con-
vention was, lis he honest, is he capa-
bic, is he faithful to the constitution"
For the honor Of the great principles Of
democracy, for the redemption Of the
State from the rule of. jobbirg,:pccula-
ting, thieving black republicans and
for their interest, not only as democrats,
but as citizens and tax payers, we
trust that the democracy will support
the nominees with that .nnanimity and
heartincss which is the great requisite
of success. National democrats and
Douglass, all, without the abandon
ment Of one iota Of their opinions, can
come up unitedly in support Of the
ticket. Let lis then for the sake of the
great principles upon which We are
agreed; for the honorsof our state; to
save it from the utter bankruptcy to
which it tending, and for our interests
as tax payers, put our shoulders to the
wheel and carry our ticket triumphant-
ly through the contest.
The great mass Of the democrats
friendly to Judge Douglas are moder-
ate IN their views, willing to compro-
misc, and to acccde much, for the sake
Of union and harmony and, with but
few exceptions, they recognize in his
Excellency James Buchanan, States
man Of ripe Judgment and pre-eminent
wisdom, who with systemic devotion
to the great principles Of representa-
tive Democracy, has thus far conduct
ed the government Of our great con.
federacy with signal ability, and with
a just and proper regard for the varied
and conflicting interests Of States and
individuals" These sentiments they
support throughout, except upon the
Lecompton question. But. there were
those, who by their violent speeches
and incorporating disposition-by
presaing tho motion to table the really
unobjectional resolution which Wa
offered giving no opportunity FOR q.

ANOTHER NEW CENr-The government,
very properly Disguised with that most
atrocious of coinages, the cent piece Of 1857,

the other, is Of nickel, and Of the same size !;
it has the head Of an Indian girl upon one

Music BY LIGHTNING.-It is said that cleo
tricity is about to be applied to music. A
performer seated before a piano, constructed
for the purpose, in London, Moscow, or st.
Petersburg, will play moroccan, every note
of which, by means of the electric wire, will
be repeated by another instrument in one
of the concert rooms in Paris. We already
have music by steam: now we are to have
music by electricity. Lungs are, therefore,
menaced with being ruled out of fashion by
the lovers of music.
