TIE "PREv1ous QUESTION IN THE SENArE.-One
Ut the W asugton Cur, 1spondonts Of the Baltimore
Sun says:
1.-THE introduction of the precious question in the
Senate has been several times proposed by promi-
nent members of that body, upon urgent occasions,
but never would have commanded half dozen votes.
1t is not at all probable that it will be resorted
this occasion. If adopted a temporary expedent
now, it would, after while, become a permanent
rule. The Senators representing States, the popu-
laton of which, in some instances, amounts to mil.
lions, will not consent to surrender the privilege Of
ample discussion, the right OF judging for them.

My attention has just been called to the fesawng

money, except in paymentof the fare of the person
offering it but that South Carolina money is read
ny taken for any dues. What does this mean? We
should like TO have the matter explained by those
who understand how it is The fact that our Banks
have temporarily suspended. might justify this dis
elimination, if the South Carolina Banks were not
in the same condition"
North Carolina money is readily taken by the
Wilmington and Manchester Railroad in payment Of
any dues. .....-. .u.. .....,,. ..-.fs
We sell tickets, however, as agents Of various
Southern roads and in payment of tickets thus
sold, only receive such money as our in
strucions from our principals permit: They receive
South Carolina money from u.s. but they refuse thus
to receive North Carolina money. No alternative IS
therefore left to the Wilmington and Manchester
Railroad but to decline to receive North Carolina
money in payment of tickets over other roads.

EXECUTION IN CosrA R1cA.-We have been in
formed by gentleman lately from Central America
that Colonel Don Francisco Alvarado, commander
of the Costa Rcan forces at Fort Costello, at the
time Of its capture by the democratic troops under
Colonel Frank Anderson has with his brothers, been
shot by a sentence of siodssant court-martial.
Col. Alvarado. stated in his Defence that his per-
ceiving the Americans, he gave orders to his to
fire upon them; but they refused, threw down their
arms and cried Viua Walker! Niua los Ameri-
canos," Gong life to Walker; long live the Ameri-
cans) He also stated that they said they preferred
to be prisoners of Walker rather than soldiers of
Costa RIGA. The above facts appeared in the Album,
Spanish and English paper, published at San Jose,
the capital of Costa Rica.-Amongst the prisoners
taken on the above occasion were two officers who
had once before been captured. They earnestly re-
qnested permission to see General Walker in order
to thank him for the kindness with which they had
been treated. M. James Thomas, formerly Of New
Orleans, but for the last two years resident of Mic
aragua, and who had nothing to do with the demo-
cratic cause, was also shot about the same time

WASHINGTON, March 1.-The Senate in executive
session to-day confirmed large number OF appoint
nents made during the recess Of Congress.
The nomination Of Mr.. Cook, postmaster OF Chi
cago was warmly debated for two hours. The dis.
cussion involved questions concerning his moral in
tegrity. Pending the question on the nomination an
adjournment took place.
Gen. Whitfield, in letter received here to-day,
says that Lanes party has served upon him notice
ate him. He has sent his family out OF Kansas but
he is resolved to main. He says that house burn
ing and murders are frequent In the county oppo-
site St. Joseph Mo-, Mr.. Forman and his family
have been driven out and several persons have been
killed. Also in the county above, similar outrages
have been perpetrated E..'.s -
Prominent Democratic members of Congress have
calculated that the Kansas and Minnesota bills COM
bined will pass the Senate by six eight and the
House by about fifteen majority. -
Sam'l Medary, postmaster, at Columbus, Ohio, is
among those confirmed by the Senate to day.
WASHINGTON, March 2.-Despatches received at
the War Department from Col johnson, indicate an
insuficiency Of the present means at Fort Laramie,
transport provisions Camp Scott, and it will be
necessary for these to reach him by the LIST of June.
Gen. Scott has, therefore, issued orders for 200 mule
teams OF wagons to be concentrated at Fort Leaven-
worth, with the utmost despatch, to transport COM
missary stores from Fort Laramie to JohnSOns camp;
seven companies of cavalry to escort them thther-
the train 10 start as early the 10th of March, In
consequence of the known intention OF the Mormons
to intercept Marcy his return to Santa Fe, orders
have been sent there to the commanding officers to
furnish the escort.
Col. johnson says incident of importance has
transpircd since the last dispatches The troops
in excellent health and spirits, but many frost

EXTRAORDINARY SUIcIDE.-From the California pa

Norfolk, Va, and employed confidential clerk by
the house of Macondray 4 Co., of San Francisco,
committed suicide on the Goth January. He hired
O horse went to the Lone Mountain Cemetarv, wrote
letter, directed it to Mr.. Macon1ray, placed it to-
gether with a ten dollar piece in handkerchief and
tied the bundle TO the horn Of the saddle. He then
turned the horse loose and it returned to the city,
where the bundle was opened the letter found and
sent to Macondray. In it he confessed he had wrong
ed his employers by embezzing the funds and avowed
bis intention to commit suicide. His body was af-
forwards found in the Cemetary. By his side was
found small vial containing about four grains of
strychnine and scattered on the ground scraps
of paper torn from a memorandum book. On these
pieces of paper deceased wrote dsjonted sentences
with pencil, expressive OF his feelings and the
thoughts uppermost in his mind after swallowing
the deadly substance. The character of his hand
