The report Of the COMMITTEE on forelgu AhaIrs
of the House of Representatives at Washington
in reference TO the seizure of Walker and his men
by Commodore Paulding, completely eyades or en-
trely oyerlooks the only question upon which, SO
far as they were concerned, any discussion or re-
port was needed. The Committee, after having
previously stated that they have every reason to
believe that this proceeding on the part of COmmO
dore Paulding was entirely in accordance with
the wishes of the existing Government of Mica
raeas, and regarded by it as eminently benef.
cial proceed to state and to discuss, as the main
question: "Can on officer of the United States
use the force under his command in the territory
" of foreign State with its assent and for its ben
"efitl" But this method of atating the case
leaves entirely out Of view the ground upon which
Commodore Paulding acted, and upon which his
action has been sustained and justified by the coun-
try. 1t hardly needs the report OF Congressional
Committee, or a resolution such as that Committee
advises, to settle the point that United States
officers have no right to employ by their own mere
authority, the forces under their command, at the
instance and for the benefit Of foreign States;
w. le nothing can be more unjust than the impllca-
ton implied in this report, that such had been the
course pursued by Commodore Pauldng. The OBJ
iectofthe Commodore in seizing Walker and sending
him home, was not to render service to Nicara-
qua but to aid in the enforcement of the laws of the
United States, which Walker in fitting out his ex-
pediton had set at defiance. So far from acting at
the instance of the Government of Nicaragua, with
whoee officers he never had any communication, it
was solely at the instance of orders sent to him
from Washington that the Commodore made this
seizure Between sezipg Walker on the high seas
and seizipg him within the jurisdiction Of Nicara
qua, the only difference the danger in the latter
case of interfering with the sovereignty Of Nicara
qua; and therefore, the real question for the Com
mttee was whether the Commodore did actually
violate that sovereignty The waiver of SOW
creignty by Nicaragua, which, under the circum-
stances, Commodore Pauldng felt himself justified
in taking for granted-and which assumption the
Committee concede TO be borne out by fscts-by
10 means placed him in the position of acting at the
instance of Nicaragua; while as to any benefit to
accrue to her, that benefit was merely Incidental to
the putting stop to the violation OF our own laws.
So far from acting in the service of Nicaragua,
what Commodore Paulding did was to ignore her
authority, and in the seizure Of refugees from our
Justice, to treat the shores Of the River San Juan
as il they bad been part of the high seas. He
took the risk that no objection would be made to
this proceeding on the part of Nicaragua, but in
making the arrest he neither asked nor received
ally authority from her, and the seizure was based,
not upon the presence Of the flbusters in the ter
ritory of Nicaragua but upon their violation of our
laws.

The DoCToR AND HIS PATIENr.-Of all the profess
sions trades occupations that engage the mind of
men, that of physicians is the most diversified. In
locating he has to find out the constitution of those
he is called upon to VISIT for it is frequently the
that success may be owning more to a deep and
thorough knowledge Of the constitution Of the pa
tent than more common place applications As
illustration of this will relate anecdOte of one
of old physicians, who, If he finds physic will
not cure, tries other MEANS as the case may re-
quire
Dr. G. had long been the attending physician of a
lady long past her teens and affected with certain
disorders incident to want of occupation, and the
Of family. She sends for the doctor in season
and out of season he rushes out in 2.4O pace, and
finds his patient physically perfectly WELL but sad
and lonely. and Of course afflicted with blues. All
ne can do is to administer tincture," with a few
drops of peppermint, and the patient is well for a
day.
On one occasion. a cold, bosterous night the doc
tor had just turned in. wrapping himself snugly in
his blankets, with the hope of quiet sleep, when
loud rap aroused him.
"Who is sick ?" inquired :he doctor, murmurng.
"Miss Sally Strickland, sir, she is a most dead,
expect she'll die before you get there"
"l'll be along" said the doctor, exciaimng to
himself, "dog Miss Sally, I'll try to- cure her this
time"
The doctor 2ods along through mud and mire,
cold and rain, studying his application. When he
arrived at the dwelling of Miss Sally, he finds her

SOUTHERN LEGISLATION ON SLAvERY.-The action

already known to our readers. Nearly every other
Southern State has this winter egslated the SUBJ

project on foot for the incorporation of an African
immigration Company, to bring negroes from Africa
for laborers, under system of apprenticeship. In
Louisiana bill is before the House appropriatng
large amount of money to be used by the Governor,
for the purpose IT bringing negroes from the coast
of Africa. Last winter, in the same State, law
was passed forbidding the emancipation of slaves
within the State. In Virginia law is before the
Legislature, empowering the authorities to sell all
the free negroes into slavery. bill was recently
introduced in the House Of Delegates Of Maryland,
to- the effect that ssno slave who has been or may
hereafter be manumtted by deed or will upon con-

LAYING Up FOR CHMDREN.-Parental affection
naturally inquiries what 1t best do for the vel
fare Of it's children in future years, and when the
bosom which now throbs with love to its offspring
shall be cold in death. Many plans are laid, and
many days and hours Of anxious solicitude are
spent in contriving ways and means of rendering
children prosperous and happy in future life. But
parents are always wise in the provisions which
they seek to make for their children; do they
always seek direction and counsel from God in this
matter. The best inheritance for children, beyond
all contradiction, is true piety toward God-the sal
utary truths and principles of religion laid up in
the hearts of Children good education-good and
virtuous habits, unbending principles of moral con-
Duct the fear of God, and the hope Of heaven.
This is the best inheritance for Children and which
all parents should be most anxious TO lay up for
them.
Many an unwise parent works hard and lives spar
ingly all his life, for the purpose of leaving enough
to give his children start in the world, as it is
called. Setting young man afoat with money left
him by his relatives, is like tying badders under
the arms of one who cannot swim; ten chances to
