The Nicaragua Question--A War Cloud

A strong feeling Of excitement has been
awakened in France and England by infor.
nation received there to the effect that
the United States had sent vessels Of war
to the waters of Nicaragua, to coerce the
Government Of that Republic into refusal
to ratify the contract made with Mr.. Felix
Belly for the opening of an interoceanic
shipcanal. The intelligence was also aggra
waited by q report Of new tiilbustering ex.
petition being fitted out by Walker against
the States OF Central America. While en-
tire faith seems not to have been given to
this intelligence, the papers, nevertheless.
improve the occasion TO read lectures TO
the United States upon its national charac-
teris,ic OF annexation, and TO notify US that
We need not take any open or secret means
To possess ourselves OF the lshthmus OF
Nicaragua, inasmuch as the maritime ma
tons Of Europe would not for moment
tolerate such an assumption on our part.
In connection with this subject we also
End 10 the French papers TRANSACTIONS OF the
letters that passed between our Minister,
Mr. Lamar. and the Nicaraguan Minister
OF Foreign Affairs, in relation to the Belly
contract. In the reply Of Senior Cortez. the
Nicaraguan Minister, il is declared that that
government, regards as null and void the two
contracts made with American citizens for
opening the lsthmus route, and that the
mission of Gen. Jerz 10 Washington was
To cause the principle Of justice TO prevail
with our government
We are likewise informed that Mr. lamar
has demanded from Nicaragua the sum OF
six millions OF dollars, as decentralization for
loss OF American lives and P roperty during
the fllibas,er war; that he has formulated
against Costa Rlca further demand Of two
millions on the like ground. and that be
proposes making similar demand upon Sal.

the better We mus, either withdraw our

The Murder In New YOrk.

The New York papers "embroider" pro-
dlglously upon the subject of the late muir.
der. The whole history Of Mr.. Gouldy is
given, Mrs. Gouldy's maiden name, parent.
age, &c, are revealed, and the little Gouldys
are paraded in turn ia the most efIecting
manner. OF the murderer, one paper says,
"he seemed to be without clear perception
Of moral duty" 1t is somewhat singular that
he could deliberately have taken oysters before
going home to such slaughter His literary
tastes appear in the description of bis room.
On table, says the Times, were Sues Mys-
teries OF Paris, Shakespeare, and the New
Testament, with DR.. Adams Commentary.
On the mantel beside some ornaments in
bronze and China, were daguerrotypes Of
himself and young male friend. On the
wall were some pictures and map of the
Holy Land. During the revival last winter
young Gouldy became awakened" as the
phrase Is, and his mother bribed him by
warm supper to attend church; but he
elapsed into his evil courses and was both
indolent and dissipated. His two brothers
Nathaniel and Charles, we are assured, are
comfortably provided for "in the little front
bedroom" Nathaniel is said to have COM
pletely nstonished the physicians when they
were compelled to remove portion OF his
skull, he never shrinking in the least while
they were performing the operation of saw

times during the morning. and once remark
ed to her-"cheer up mother, we will all get
WELL" Another time, when his mother ap-
peared somewhat excited, be said, IL feel
well, dear mother; il father was with us
and felt as well as do, should be happy"
The New York papers all comment upon
the murder. The New York Express has
an observation or two which the city youths
will peruse with pleasure. 1t says there is
nothing like late hours, plenty Of money
and idleness, for finishing up, with lightning
speed, the career Of the fast young men, OF
which Mr.. Frank Gouldy was, after all. no
worse. probably, than iair middling speci-
men. Boston Post.

A Terrible Scene.

We have already noticed the disastrous
consequences Of fire which broke out in the
SHAFT Of an English coal pit, in the county
Of Durham. There were eighty-six men
and boys in the various workings Of the pit.
and after great exertions the fire was ex-
tinguished By the smoke. The bringing up
OF the living was watched with intense feel
ing by thousands Of spectators but when
the bodies Of the dead began to be brought
up, the scene, it is said, was distressing in
the extreme. A locai paper, in describing
it, says:
"When the last Of the living had been
brought to daylight, a fearful signal was
observed to be given by Mackay, the
Smithsonian. 1t was well understood, and
the hopes which had up to that time been
kept alive in the relatives of those still in
the pit, that those dear to them might be
saved, were destroyed. A chain and sheets
were given to the Smithsonian. With these
he descended into the dark abyss on his
fearful errsnd. The excitement and ankle
~ were now painfully intensified. After a
longer interval than usual, the signal was
given, one dead body had been fastened to
the staithesman-breast to breast the rope
was raised yard or two; another corpse
was slung to the rope and now the dread
ful load is being drawn up. The women
cluster to the plymouth, and the bodies ar
rive. The first is that of a fine boy about
IL years Of age. There is beautiful ex-
preston upon his countenance, and nothing
indicating that his young life had been taken
by violent death. The body is unstrung,
and stalwast winer carries wife the ten.
derness and gentleness Of mother nuising
her child, TO the anxious crowd. The child
is recognized by its parents and sisters, and
cries Of agony rend the air. The other
brought up is enveloped in shroud it is
taken from the ropes, and the announcement
that it is poor kelett is made. Renewed
wailing startle the spectators, as he is borne
to his home. This fearful scene is Eve
times repeated. Each time the rope ascends,
it brings with it two cOrpscs, one Of boy,
another of man. They are placed on
stretchers, and taken to the crowd, to be
recognized and claimed, and the repetition
of the same frightful scene produces the
deepest feeling of awe and horror"
The scene at the bottomOf the pit, while
the fire was raging in the shaft, is thus de.
scribed:
AT the bottom Of the shaft was fur
mace constantly burning to secure ventila-
ton. Around this furnace seventeen of the
men collected during the night for the pur-
pose Of procuring the air and warmth but
they eventually became alarmed, lest the FIRE
should draw the gas from the workings, 80
as to cause an explosion. They therefore
put out the fire, aud during the remainder Of
the time that they were imprisoned, they
were in utter darkness. The other men and
boys were in other parts Of the workings
some were congregated in groups and en-
gagged in prayer, while others were singing
and joking and telling tales, in order to
cheer their companions. One of them says
be lay down at Q O'Clock, and quietly slept
the time away"
