HE STEAMERS OF THE PARAGUAY ExPEDI-
rroN.-Yes terday, we incidentally called pub
lie attention to the fact that the engine Of the
steamer Memphis, Of Cromwcll's line, late of
the Paraguay expedition, had performed re-
markedly we'll. Subsequent inquiries have
satisfied US that with the exception of the
Metacomet, all of them have in all respects
performed quito as we'll as was anticipated
when they were chartered Their voyage, (six
thousand miles,) has been a long one, and their
service trying one; nevertheless, their en-
ployment in u naval and nautical point of
view has enti-cly answered its original pur-
pose. We mention the fact because, as will
be recollecte'a, when brought into the naval
service OF the United States, the Secretary of
tho Navy WIS roundly abused by the OPPOSE
non press tor chartcring them; because, as al
legged, they were entirely unfit for the service
required Of them. The result Of their employ
ment explained above, illustrates forcibly the
injustice OF latter day sweeping charges against
administrative officers, and, we trust will be
duly rememb cred when the next batch of buga-
boo roOrbackS against acts of the Executive
branch OF The Government shall be promulged
which cannot be long hcncc-for positively
nothing new IN that line has appeared in the
newspapers for week, if not whole fortnight
past.
Apr0pOS-We arc inclined TO believe that
Mr.. CrOmwells objections to the contrary not
withstanding, the Navy Department will take
occasion to avail itself of the clause in Mr. c. i
charter party authorizing the purchase of hi
steamers on Government account at stipulated
prices, if the Secretary secs fit to make then
thus the property Of the United States. The,
prove to be serviceable vessels, of necessary
and exceedingly useful class. and at the prices
agreed on, will doubtless cost the National
Treasury much less than the cost of construct
ing other steamers to answer tho same ends a.

Cttus
The exposition of the President in his
message at the opening of the session, of
his policy in regard to Cuba, Mexico and
Central America, is accepted in Europe as
the policy of this country. The conse-
quence must be either an acquiescence in
the policy on the part of European pow
ers, or immediate preparations to resist it.
The latter course is undoubtedly now re-
solved upon, if it was not before. We
have had various intimations, former
ly, Of the determination of France to inter-
fere in manner hostile to our interests
with the concerns not only of St. Domingo
and Hayt, but of Central America, and
particular of Nicaragua.
As long ago as when Mr.. Kerr, of Mary
land, was minister at Leon, he discovered
the existence of an intrigue, if not secret
treaty with France, under which the 18th
mus was to be protected as against inva-
sion from the United States. Various oc-
currences nave delayed the further interfer-
ence of France till now. But France, Spain
and England have, no doubt come to an
understanding some time ago-and it is
believed that our government had due no.
tice of it-that Cuba should not change
hands-that it should by no means be ac-
quired by the United States-and that, if
its colonial dependence could not be safely
it must be erected into an indie
pendent monarchy. under Spanish Prince.
The course pursued by the British gov
ernment in all the negotiations respecting
Central America showed plainly that they
were waiting for some crisis in regard to
the same before they disclosed their pur-
poses. We shall soon see, then, their
game, and the French press affords us
some hints respecting it. The United
States will not be allowed to assume the

HEAR PATRIOT ON THE ONO So

organ of the iniomitable Democracy Of
Old Columbiana, and fl urishes in the
fourshing town of New Lisbon. The edi-
tors name is Woods, well seasoned speci

beetle blows he thus mauls his party
friends in the General Assembly:
Adjourn! ADJOURN From present
indications, our sapient, but unfortunate
law makers at Columbus, will put in the
winter at their delightful occupation of
spending the peoples money. They are
set of as arrant bumbugs as ever got four
dollars day. They could have finished
all their business in two weeks, and closed
the extra session before now, to the entire
satisfaction of their constituents We
have no doubt many things in the laws of
the State could be improved; but the peo-
pie can get along very well without any Of
the proposed revisions-and from the ap-
parent want of discretion in the legislative
body, this winter, at Columbus, we doubt
their ability to benefit the people if they
would live at the Capitol an entire year.
Their refusal to comply with the expressed
wishes of the masses that they should
hold short session, shows that they do
not care much for the interests of those
they represent.
We propose that if the legislature have
not adjourned by the first of February, the
Democratic editors of the State go down to
Columbus, and each one bring one or two
of our mis-representatives home-rip the
legislative from the body legisla-
tive, and save the Democracy Of the State
at the expense Of the hotels and drinking
saloons Of Columbus. We hope our breth-
rem of the press will speak out, and speak
the sentiments of the people against pro,
tracing the extra session. ls-.a -Ii

w ASdlNGION, JdI. 10.
The allegations made yesterday by Mr..
Sherman, Of Ohio, against certain officials
at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, and the readi-
ness of the House to allow a select Com
mittee to investigate them, produced a
marked effect upon one or two members of
the House, whose record, it is said, will
not stand the scrutiny of Investigation
The resolution calling for the Select Com
mittee will embrace certain transactions
which may have occurred at the Philadel
phia Navy Yard. 1t is expected that it will
be brought out in evidence that men en-
ployed in the Navy Yard at Brooklyn have
been compelled to pay to the master
workmen certain sums Of money, in order
to get employment and to be able to re-
tain their places; that Immediately before
the late elections in New York about q
700 were packed into the yard at Brook
lyn, and Immediately subsequent to the
elections eleven hundred of them were dis
charged. There is no doubt that it can
be clearly shown that nearly all of those
men thus employed, without any emergen-
cy occurring to require their services, and
uncermoniously discharged, were used for
illegal purposes in the Congressional cleo
tions.

Hard Luck Of the Arizona Ad.
Eventurefs.

Last summer party of Cincinnati and
Columbus adventurers started with ample
equipments and high hopes to prosecute
silver mining in Arizona. 1t would seem,
however; up to Dec. .22d, they had failed to
reach Tubac, sud much less TO realize their
sil'ery expectations. @Gov. Greiner," of
the Columbus Gazette, who has had some
experience we believe in the quicksilver
mines of New Mexico, as well as in govern
ing the very intelligent, high nsiudedsa land
Christian people of our grand and profits
BILE possessions lying all around about the
famous and fashionable capital known as
Santa Fe, in his last and always excellent
paper thus speaks of SOur Arizona Boys"
and lifts up bis venerable evoice of warning
to the Infatuated Ohioans who "are foolish
enough to be led away by the foolish sto-
RES Of rich mines Arizona, Sonora, Pixies
Peak, DC" Hear and heed the ".Goyern-
Or" --7-- 7'''i''
Worse luck than we even anticipated,
has overtaken our Arizona boys, who left
here last June, to try the realities of a ro-
mantle silver mining expedition. From
letters dated Apache Pass, Arizona, De-
cember goth, we learn that the party had
just met with band of 800 Indian war
riors, bound for Sonora on stealing expe-
dition; that all supplies had been cut off
between Sopora and Arizona by the Mexi-
can Government; that the boys considered
themselves in pretty tightplace, and were
making their calculations to subsist upon
mule meat, and they had been digging holes
in the ground in which to make their fires
and for protection from the cold winter
winds.
From postscript hastily written on the
22d, we learn that four of their Mexican
drivers had run off the night before, steal
ing 19 of the best horses and mules, with
saddles, brides, provisions, DC, taking tho
trail towards Sonora, and some Of the boys
were out upon the hopeless chase in pur-
suit of them. This leaves them in a very
bad situation, for they haveneither animals
nor provisions to sustain them in their long
100 mile journey yet to Tubac.
Their dreams about silver IN the Arizona
mines have long since vanished, and their
only hope is to make their way to Cnlifor-
mia if possible. When people are foolish
enough to be led away with the foolish sto-
ries of rich mines in Arizona, Sonora,
Pixies Peak, &c, and choose sterile, heav
en-forsaken country that ever the sun shone
upon, why, it is well enough for them to
gain wisdom from experience. even if it
should be pretty dearly bought. = q. .''+

MuRpERKRs CoNvIcrED. A second
trial of the Doyon brothers in Macomb
county, Michigan, for the brutal murder of
their sister, has resulted in verdict of
murder in the second degree. The first
trial the jury failed to agree, and on the
second the verdict would have been MUIR
der in the first degree but for the question
of their insanity when the murder was
committed. The case it will be remember
ed was most extraordinary one. The
brothers and sister came to this country
from Switzerland about twenty years ago.
The sister kept house for them, all three
being unmarried. They were very icnor-
ant and supsrstious, and after killing their
sister the brothers performed diabolical
rites over the dead body, kept the officers
who went to arrest them at bay, tore their
house to pieces, marched about iu state
Of nudity, and finally fed in the night,
claiming that they had killed their victim
ln obediance in command Of God. The
defence was insanity. The trial occupied
six days. ss 'ISsi b-t 90 ris ma -

DEATH OF NEIL MoRRIs.-This unfortu-
nate young man, who was indicted for
Horse-stealing in the Spring of 1855, late
ly died at the residence of his Father in
Washington township. Our readers will
recollect, that during the last term, be was
brought into Court on lounge, and tina;
he was then so emaciated by disease. that
his friends had no hope of his recovery.
His Father made proposition to pay two
thirds of the costs, if the Indictment was
nollied. The Prosecutor, actuated by hu-
manity as well as the interests of the coun-
ty, discharged him from custody. Poor
Neil! In an uaguarded moment, be eom-
mitted a crime that destroyed the peace of
his fond parents-blasted his earthly hopes,
and brought himself to premature grave.
