Walkers Return to Nicnr.g,,.

We see by the Mobile papers that the
sailing Of the vessels which is to convey
Walker, and all who may wish to 90 with
him, to Nicaragua, has b4en postponed.
Gen, Nv. himself, was, atlast accounts,
in Washington, where he went to see,
and confer with the President, to whom
ne represented his intentions in such a
light as to cause all opposition tothis en-.
terprise to cease. So that in very short
time we may expect to hear of the sail
ing of a band Of emigrants. If we are
to believe the accounts land the previous
history OF this extraordinary man justi-
fes us in 50 doing). Walker has gathered
the means, and enlisted hundreds of fol-
lowers in the full light of strong ad-
verse public opinion, and the next we
hear we hope will be that he has hoisted
his banner upon the soil of Nicaragua
Many disadvantages that opposed him
last year he will not have to encounter
this year. Then he left this country in
opposition to, and in spite of the will of
the government, and escaped the meshes
which the watchful cruisers of the Ameri-
can and English navies had spread to
catch him. Now he leaves on peaceful
mission, with the full sanction of the Uni
tee States Government.
We may look at the principle as we
VIII, and attribute the motives of South
ern men to whatever we choose, but our
minds are in the end brought to one con.
viction,. and that is, that in this Country
there is vast, deep, and irresistible ten
dency on the part of the people to carry
their energies and enterprise into the de.
,aying and anarchial countries south of
is. 1t may be called fillibustering, pira-
", or anything else-it is part of the
plrlt of the age. In Europe flllibuster-
ng is carried on under the protection of
he government, while in America it is
ed and fostered by the people. tire
ults always in political amelioration, and
Industrial development. Founded upon
o broad a basis this popular tendency

annot be rooted out, and in this instance
blended as it is with the reorganization
i the Central American States, and the l
xtenslon of Southern territory, we doubt
OF but that an impetus will be give to
that will place Nicaragua under Anglo !
axon rule, and prepare her for that hap G
y result-entrance into the American t
Mon as a Southern State. a

The Goose Question.--Some editor, we
don't know who, enquiries the meaning OF
the common expression the goose ques-
tion." Another editor, we don't know
who, gives the following explanation
a man goes to market to buy geese,
and buys two lots containing 80 EACH
In purchasing the first lot, he pays at the
rate of 81 for2, and SIS for the 80. The
second parcel he obtains at the rate of
81 for 3, and SO for the whole lot, thus
giving S25 for sixty geese.
Being dissatisfied with his bargain, he
wishes to sell them for the amount they
cost him. To save trouble in counting
them, he sells them in lots of 5 at Sc per
lot. 1t would seem that, having in sepa-
rate trades bought them at the prices of
2 for 81 and 3 for 81, he would lose
nothing in selling them at the rate of s
for 81. But after concluding the trade
he finds he has sold 60 geese for S24, and
of course has lost 81 by the trade. Why
did he lose 81 in selling The geese at the
same rate that he paid for them! That
is the famous goose question.

Neic Candidate for the Prey;,leoc,

New Candidate for tie Presiaencu.-
A German Sunday paper, published
in New York, suggests Morrisspy as a
proper candidate for the Presidency in
1860. The editor insists that no one in
Congress then would be so audacious as
to refuse the appropriation of money, OF
to oppose the measures of the administra-
ton; for who would like to fight eleven
rounds with his Excelency the President,
to have his head and breast smashed !
The United States would then have a
strong Government. He says:

OF A remarkable case bas ;nst

OF A remarkable case has lust been
decided in the Brooklyn(N.Y W CITY Ca,prt
to the effect that single woman can
recover damages from married man
for breach of marriage promise. In the
case alluded to, the defendant, like manv
scoundrels who fail to get their desets,
deserted his wife and played bachelor
lover to a German girl Failing to mar
ry according to promise, she sued him.
and he had the cowardly meanness TO
crawl Fly saying that as he had wife
already, his promise was an empty lie
The jury thought otherwise, and gave
$4,000 damages. An appeal was taken,
but the general term affirmed the iudg-
mem. Married men who desert their
wives Tor more attractive faces, will do
well to remember this case.

ATTEMPT TO BURN A BARN.-Two
attempts, we are informed, have lately been
made to burn the barn on the property of the
Messrs Evans of Havre de Grace, situated in
the eth District in this county and occupied
b. Mr.. Boyd. One night last week Mr.. B.
went out about II o'clock and seeing fire
blazing in the barn, aroused the family and
hurried the cattle out of the stables, expecting
the barn to be burnt. The fire, however, did
not make rapid Roadway and seeing this they
went earnestly to work at it and put it out
The next morning the tracks ola man were
discovered coming from and returning to a
woods near by. Watch was then kept on
the barn for several nights. On Monday last
Mr.. Boyd hauled some corn fodder from a
field he was ploughing and stacked it between
the barn and Wagon house, a few feet distant
from each. While the family were at supper
that evening and before it was scarcely dark
this stack of fodder was discovered to be on
fire the stack burnt to the ground, but with
great exertions the buildings were saved, by
keeping them wet while tho fodder was burn
ing. The inccndiary has not been discov-
cred.
