1J apouuds with epltEets of pirates and OUT
laws, who loft our shores for rapine and
murder, and says that he saw no way of
yiudicating the law but by their arrest
He isseDsible of the responsibility incurred,
but confidently looks to the Government
for justification. He says that Walker had
established his camp without the authority
of law that he had raised the Nicaraguan
flag; claimed to be the commander of the
Nicaraguan army; that he seized goods,
killed men, and made prisoners of peaceful
inhabitants, Commodore Paulding, there
fore, regarded him as an outlaw and a mur-
derer, and thought that humanity, as we'll
as the national honor demanded his arrest.
WASHINGTON, Dec, 30.--General Walker
had an interview last night with Secretary
Cass The latter repudiated the idea of his
hoing under arrest, and he was at once re-
leased from parole. Commodore Paulding
has been recalled, Capt. Wyle is under or
ders to return to the squadron. No civil pro-
cess has yet been issued against Walker.-
AT the proper time he will bring a claim for
justice, which he hopes the Government will
be disposed to award. This is, however con-
sidered doubtful at present.
AN ENGLISH VIEW OF THE NEeRo.-
The Liverpool Post says: "There are twen-
ty times as many 'niggcrs' in Africa as in
all the West India islands and on the Amer
lean continent, and five hundred fold worse.
They are the most miserable of human be-
ings-the most degraded of men. They
have always been SO the sun for six thous-
and years at least has looked down upon
and found them not only black and curly
but the Most debased of slaves. Itwas not
the white man who did this---tho black man
was the tyrant. A transfer to the white
man was bliss bondage remained-but
how different from chains imposed on them
on their native soil and their original dwell
ing place" The Post again asks: "Is
there any hope for the future?" which it
answers, "not if Things arc allowed to re.
main as they are. The aptitude of the ne
gro for civilization presents only individu-
al examples, the mass have been savage
They are now savages in Africa There is
no use questioning the fact----it is true
Brought within the controla and influence of
the white man, it might be different--would
be different; but ordinary means will never
overcome obstacles to the exercise of that
influence. Released from the presence of
civilization, the negro will relapse into the
bohSoAiohl Vi race.
The following embraces a very exquisite
lesson on gentility:
A gentleman from Boston happened to
find himself amoug little party of l.dies
away down east, last summer, and while in
the enjoyment of some innocent social play,
he carclessly placed his arm about the slen-
der waist of as pretty damsel as Maine
can boast of, when she started and ex..
claimed: BE done, sir Don't insult
mel The gentleman instantly apologized
for the seeming rudeness, and assured the
halfofended fair one that he did not in
tend to insult her. "Nor she replied,
archly.. Well, ifyou didn't, you may do
DADDY, / want to ask you question:"
DWELL, my SOM" "Why is neighbor
Smiths liquor shop like counterfeit shil-
ling" Il can't tell my SON." /" Be-
cause you can't pass it," said the boy.
