Iron s's wa.aiussen star Of sasrsaey,l,
Our N,car.gua ReI.t,ou..

We are satisfied that the steamer of the 5th
inst. carried to the Americans Minister in Nj
caragua, Gen. NJ. B. Lamar, dispatches to be
communicated to the Government to which he
is accredited. embracing virtual declaration
of the determination of this Government to
enforce in future what it regards as being its
rights and those of American citizens on the
Nicaraguan Istbmus. Thus we have reason to
believe thata virtual demand has been made on
Martinez for the prompt return to Washing
ton of the Cass-Yrisarri treaty ratified not
long since by the Nicaragua Constituent
Assembly, accompanied by an intimation that
it is the determination of the Government of
the United States to maintain at all hazards
and under all circumstances the rights, both
public and private ESQ far as the latter affect
American public interest.) which Nicaragua
has herself recognized therein. We further
believe that strong protest against Europ-
can interference to affect our relation with
Nicaragua is embraced in the document on
which we are commenting protest in which
p it is distinctly declared, in effect, that the
Monroe doctrine will be carried out to the
letter in vindication of our national rights as
endangered by the intrigues of Monsieur Bel
ly. That is, that Martinez, Monsieur Belly's
wishes to the contrary Notwithstanding, must
promptly carry out the decision of the Mica
raguan Constituent Assembly with reference
to the treaty, or prepare to have it enforced
by the exercise of the naval power of the
United States.
This is as it should be. 1t shows that Pre-
sident Buchanan is indeed in earnest in the
emphasis with which he has persstently main
tanned the necessity for the Inauguration of a
distinct, energetic, and national American
policy in the future conduct of our relations
with all the other Governments on this CONT
nent.

SENATOR DOUGLAS AND HIS RE-EIEcTIoN.-
The New York Tribune says report is cur
rent in Illinois that Senator Douglas will be
candidate this fall for the House, probably
in place of Col. Harris, whose health. though
improved. is still very precarious. Mr.. Doug
las possibly remembers that Henry Clay, after
having been twice sent for fragments of terms
to the Senate, was elected to the House, and
on the first day of his membership of that
body, was chosen Speaker. The next House
will be absolutely obliged to recast the revenue
policy of the Government, and to do some
thing toward the much needed retrenchment
of expenditures, whereof SO much has been
said and so little effected. The Senate is SO
constituted that an able, energetic, capable
statesman, who aspires to be, not negatively.
but positively useful to the country, must
naturally prefer a seat in the House. These
considerations give plausibility to the report
respecting Mr.. Douglas. which reaches us from
Illinois. Should he be candidate for the
House from Col. Harris or any other Demo-
cratic district. the opposition to him is not
likely to be formidable, whether the post
masters shall be finally instructed to support
or oppose him.

From the Mobile Advertiser
All on Our Side.

When the Vigilants Revolutionary move
ment first broke out in New Orleans we took
occasion TO place on record, in frank and de-
cided terms, our condemnation of the whole
affair as demoralizinp in its tendencies, inca
pable of effecting any good, without an over
whelming counterbalance of evil and deserv-
ing the severest reprobation from press and
people. The events of each succeeding day.
and subsequent reflection, only strengthened
our first convictions. and induced us to protest
with increasing earnestness, against the % aid
and comfort " that was being rendered these
misguided, if not evil minded men. But we
had to fight the battle for law and order y
unaidcd by any and warmly opposed by some
of our city contemporaries. We are pleased
to observe, however. that these differences of
opinion on an important question no longer
exist. Judging from the city papers of yes
terday, the late Vigilance Committee need no
longer expect justification. or apology in Mo-
bile. Even our neghbor of the Register, who
warmed up Zealously, and wrote several stir
ring leaders in their behalf, appears to have
become Disguised with their action, and will
not interfere to rescue them from public CEN
sure and contempt. This is happy change
and we welcome our contemporaries upon our
conservative platform with cordially and
pleasure.

The Administration Democrats I'm


When the Democratic State Convention OF
Illinois assembled at Springfield. on the 2Ist
of April last, it was found that the Delegates
from about ninety counties were Douglas men
while the Administration supporters number
ed only about fifteen, and told. The former
organized regularly, and nominated State
officers but the latter, after being laughed at,
adjourned to the Sth of June.
On Tuesday, the 9Th inst. they assembled
at Springfield, when it was found that, by the
hard work performed by Postmaster Cook of
Chicago, and other hirelings of the Admin
stration, delegations from seventy eight coun-
ties had been secured. Yesterday resolutions
endorsing the Administration and denouncing
Douglass were offered by Cook and passed.
These resolutions also approve the English
bill for the settlement" of the Kansas diff
Guilty.
John Dougherty was nominated for State
Treasurer, and Ex-Governor REYNOLDS for
Superintendent of Public Instruction. Thus
there are two Democratic tickets in the field
the Douglas ticket and the Administration
ticket. 1t does not require prophet to fore
see that both will be defeated. and the Repub-
lican ticket elected-a fact for which the
Administration will be responsibility. Louis

The New Orleans Vigilance Conn

That the reader may be enabled to arrive
at probable solution of the riotous move
ment in New Orleans, we deem it proper to
state that Cap. Duncan. the head of the Vigil
lance Committee, is Buchanan office-holder.
and that Beauregard, the candidate Tor
Mayor. of the democratic, or Vigilance
committee, is also a Buchanan office-holder.
Now, with this clue, in his hand, let the
reader call to mind the Infamous law passed
by the Louisiana Legislature, with view to
placing the government of New Orleans in
the hands of the locofocos, by force, if need
be; let him connect this with the recent effort
of the President to place Washington city
under the surveillance of an armed band,
subject to the orders of the Executive, or of
the Secretary of the Interior, and we think
he can be at no loss to determine the
character and purpose of the move in New
Orleans. 1t is made by lOcofocos, under the
name of Independents; it is headed by a
locofoco; its contidate for Mayor is a loco
foco and the end and object Of the movement
is not to suppress crime, but TO get possession
of the city government We can conceive
of of no idea more ridiculous than an organi-
cation of locofocos to suppress crime and
protect property; and when such pretended
organization changes its name as the only
hope of accomplishing its secret design. he is
silly, indeed, who eau be made the dupe of
the trick.-CgdrhsrilLe Chronicle.

MIR. Rarey Tanning a Zebra.

The London Times, by the last foreign ar
rival, has lengthy account of the doings of
Mr.. Rarey, the hOrse-tamer. Among the rest
it chronicles the following:
"But the great novelty of the day was the
introduction of the Zebra of the African des-
ert, the latest pupil in Mr.. Rarcy's school, and
one with which, although he ultimately ex-
poets to drive him through Hyde Park, he yet
makes his account to have a great deal of
trouble. The specimen introduced was the
most beautiful four-footed beast we have ever
seen, with his perfect symmetry of form, bright,
glossy coat of the richest cinnamon and deep
est black, and a pair of eyes that flashed
lurid fire as he made his appearance in the
lists.
This pupil is still only in the rudiments
and yells out his "Propria qua maribus" in a
most uncivilized manner when politely re-
quested to go through his task. But he does
it nevertheless. lies down when he is told
though not with the grace and readiness of
his more civilized school-fellows-turns over
with helpless whine of despair and sense of
subjugation. and finally admits that even he
the hitherto untameable steed of the desert,
has at length found firm, although gentle
master. Now, we must confess that when ut
first we heard that SIR. Rarey was going TO
Introduce a zebra TO his pupils, we had a
shrewd suspicion that something like thea
trical coup was contemplated, and that some
venerable ''woOlly horse" who had perhaps
graduated in a circus, was about to be in
troduced for the sake of novelty and attrac-
ton.
But all suspicion of that sort was dispelled
when we saw this wild ferocious animal, so
beautiful and yet so terrible in his beauty,
follow the great horse-tamer reluctantly into
the ring. There was something positively I'M
earthly in the scream with which he salutcd
the company, and the fact of the barricade
being only breast high set at least one person
who was present about making nervous cal
culations as to his probable stock of agility.
As he lay upon the ground he kept up low
whining solilOquy which person acquainted
with the Houynhmn language might, no doubt,
have translated, at would give me intense
qualification To devour this fellow where he
stands, and to kick out the brains of those i'm
pertinent lockers on Immediately afterwards.
but unfortunately, there is no Justice for
Zebras' nowadays, SO | have nothing for il
but to lie quiet, and to behave myself hence
forth and forever like civilized quadruped
and gentleman"

HABITS OF GRAssHOPPERs.-A Goliad cor
respondent of the. Colorado (Texas) Citizen
gives some curious facts in relation to the
grasshoppers which have recently swarmed in
that region. He says:
"They have an especial fondness for wheat
and cotton. but don't take so kindly to corn.
The only vegetable they spare is the pump
kin. The most deadly poisons have had no
effect upon them; fumes of sulphur they
rather like than otherwise; mosquito nets
they devour greedily; clothes out to dry
they esteem a rarity; blankets and gunny
bags they don't appear to fancy. They swim
the broadcast creeks in safety, sun themselves
awhile, and then go on. The whole mass
appear to start and move at the same time,
travelling for an hour or two, devouring
everything in their way, and then suddenly
cease, aud not move perhaps for a week,
during which time no feeding is noticed; and
finally, they carefully avoid the sea coast"

shooting at him with n gun loaded with shot
and slngs, at distance Of about ten PAGES,
the load striking goblet containing medi-
cine, which Mr.. Keen was taking 20 a reported
sick child Of the murderer, was put upon his
trial at the recent term Of the Circuit Court
OF that county. The jury, after long, pa
tient and fair ir q, and after an absence Of
half an hour, brought In verdict OF guilty,
with the penalty OF death. The circumstances
surrounding this case rendered the attempt TO
murder one OF peculiar aggravation, and the
verdict IL unanimously pronounced 20 be just
aud righteous The Jurors were strangers 90

counties Of Campbcli and Halifax.

The Explosion of the Pennsylvania.

The Memphis Avalanche was the only one
of our Memphis exchanges that came to hand
Yesterday morning. We find in it. hastily
prepared account of the explosion and
burning of the steamboat Pennsylvania; being
substantially the same as that furnished us 10y
telegraph. The total loss of life by this ca
tastropbe cannot be known until the number
saved by the several boats which picked up
Messengers. is ascertained. Amongst the
killed as given in the Aualdnche we are
pained to note the name of DENNIS CoRcoRAN,
a well known Journalist of New Orleans, and
founder of the Delta. We regret also to
learn that bis Honor w. r. HARRIS, of the
supreme Bench, brother of our worthy Gov
ernor. is recorded in the list of badly scalded.
Our friend STONE, late clerk of the State
Senate, is not only scalded, but has a bruised
head.n We trust that both of these gentle
men may speedily recover.
The boiler Of the boat appears to have ex-
ploded whilst she was under way. This, to-
oether with the fact that the Diana, another
fast boat, was not far in the rear, leads to the
suspicion that the Pennsylvania was racing;
and to this the country is indebted for the
terrible consequences which have ensued.

against the American party, and condemned
the organization of a mob for what appeared
