FILLiBUSTERING.

Rumors are again prevalent that an expedition
against Nicaragua has beea is being fitted oat in
the United States, and it is said part of it has
sailed from New Orleans and New York
We find the following telegraphic dispatch
published in our exchanges:
WASHINGTON, Oct. 5.--Within the present
week reliable information has been received that
there were large number of strangers in New Or
leans, of whom were known to have been
prominently connected with previous fllibustering
enterprises. This excited suspicion in the mind
of the Collector of the Port, that they medtated an
unlawful expedition. Late last night about $50
men left New Orleans, the presumption being that
they were going below the city to await the arrival
of steamer to convey them their errand of
conquest. A clearance had been asked for the
steamer Philadelphia professedly for Chiriqu but
the Collector refused it. Orders have been tele-
graphed for the U. s. Artillery at Baton Rouge to
be held in readiness for service.
1t is believed that the fbusters have so arrane-
ed their plans to avail themselves of the adyan-
tages afforded by the rcopening of the Nicaraguan
Transit route, but the Administration has deter
mined by all means in its power, including land
and naval forces, to compel respect to the Neutrali
ty Law.

n9- The Hon. H. S. Foote of Miss, is out in a
letter favOring Senator Douglas and his views on
the slavery question. He also takes occasion to
say that he is sick of conventions aud caucusses,
and that his vote will not be Influenced by the
action of the Charleston Convention. We are not
surprised at Mr. Foote'S being sick of caucusses
he Joined the know-nothing caucus, and tried to
elevate himself by that means, but finding that he
was mistaken, he very naturally feels sick of eau
cusses. AS for conventions, he knows that no
respectable body of men in convention can ever
again place confidence enough in him to nominate
him for an office. 1t is nothing strange for &C.
hMow-nothiny to oppose conventions.

NOTES OF TRAVEL.

Bishop G. F. Pierce, who travelled to California
on the overland mail route, has been writing some
very readable letters to the n o. Christian Advo-
cate, describing his journey and the country.
Speaking of the emigrants he saw on the road, he
says:
'The emigration from Texas to California is very
heavy. The Atlantic States yield thousands to
Texas; and Texas, in her turn, sends them to the
Pacific; and, to my establishment, find scores here
about to 60 back to Texas. An American hui
mainly is restless one; most commonly, one move
unsettles man for life
"At Barlla Springs We found large train of
emf grants. Two ladies came down to the stage to
have talk The oldest said she was moving SIM
ply to follow her daughter; The daughter said she
was following her husband [ inquired into their
history a little. They had moved from Tennessee
to Mississippi; then to Texas, now to California
said, 81 suppose you will 60 next to the Sandwich
Islahds?" The young one replied with some spirit,
off ever [ get to California, you may bet yo"r bot
tom dollar that I'll never move again"
Of the face of the country and its curiosities,
the Bishop says:
"The valleys are poor generally, and naked. In
them to be found those euriosities of the West
Dog towns" The prairie dog is marvel in
natural history. These little animals live in COM
munites They burrow in the ground, and pile
Of dirt marks the mouth of every habtation. Some
of them mere villages, others may be cassed as
towns, and others cities. Nothing but popula-
ton, however, marks the difference.
The dog is about as large as 'fce" nine days
old. Bold and brave as he affects to be, he never
banks till he gets home and feels secure of his re-
treat below The sound of intruding footstep
brings every dog to the top of his hole, and De
chorus of barks is wonderful. A litter of a thou
sand hungry pups would resemble it very much
presume they live on grass; at any rate, where
they numerous, no grass is left the earth is as
naked highway.
The most remarkable fact about them remains
to be stated. The rattle-snake and a species of
owl dwell with the dogs. These all live together
in peace and friendship. Ofthis there is no doubt
i saw the owls 60 in and come out; the snakes
were lying by; neither seemed afraid Of the other
Those who dug into the holes assured me that ey-
cry house contained some of each"
Big DAYS PICKING.-The following we
think will equal, if not surpass the largest day
cotton picking ever accomplished in this county
On MIR S. " Simon's plantation, one day last
week, eighteen hands-commcncing at sunrise
and stopping at sunset-pickcd 1866 pounds
four of the fastest 1,176 pounds. Five female
hands had to leave the field three times during the
day to nurse their children losing each two hours,
and at noon all the hands losing one hour

HARD on GAMBLERs---They appear to be
pretty hard on the sporting gentry in South Ca
roina. The Columbia Caronan, in reporting the

RAILROAD ExTENsIoN.-We learn by letter
in the Richmond Enquirer, that the friends of
the Danville connection road, at least those in
terested in building the road from the coal fields
in Rockingham county to the Virginia line, which
was chartered By the last Legislature held meet
ing at Wentworth N. c., the 10Th of Sept
committee of the Board of Trade of Richmond
was present. Speeches made by the Hon.
Thomas Settle and Gov Morehead. The former
gentleman stated that $3.50 900 had been subscrb-
ed and per cent paid in, besides guarantee from
citizens of Stokes to grade the road through their
county. JOS r. Anderson, ESQ, chairman of the
Richmond delegation also addressed the meeting,
pledging the cooperation of the people of Rich
mond as we'll as the Richmond and Danville rail
road Company in carrying out the enterprise.
A meeting is to be held at Wentworth on the
9Th of November for the purpose of organizing the
Company.
This road will connect with the n. e. Railroad
at High Point by means of the Germanton and
Salem Road, for building which company has
already been organized.
AID VALoREM TAXATION.-The Greensboro
Patriot publishes an extract from letter written,
it says, by an influential Wing in the western part
of this State. The letter, speaking of the meeting
of the opposition Convention this winter, says:
'What | wish to say is, that the friends of re-
form in its broadest sense, in this State as We I'M
derstand the term applied to State policy, must in
the proposed Convention take bold determined,
and unf1inching stand in behalf of that reform. *
Prominent among the princi pies of reform, L wish
to see the taxation of slaves ad UdiOrenl according
to the value], and this involves change of the
basis of representation In our State Senate Right,
Justice and equality demand that this policy should
be adopted; and while we live under present
State Constitution, live under organic laws di-
rectly at war with the true theory Of Republican
Government"
1t will be remembered that NJ. A. Bledsoe, Esq,
the democratic Senator from Wake in the last Le-
gislature, advocated the ad valorem mode of taxa
ton; but he does not think the change necessarily
involves change of the basis of representation or
the manner of distributing the common school
fund We find in the Standard of last week let
ter from Mr. Bledsoe on this subject, answering
some questions propounded to him, which we will
publish next week in order that readers may
more fully understand the topics likely to be dis
cussed in the next canvass.
