r. WASHINGTON, March S1.-From the Heralfs cor
respondent learn that the order to seize Whites
L Ike Steamers was issued by General Martinez, and
executed by Nicaraguan officials Sir Gore Ousleys
treaty is the same the Cass Yassari except that
British troops will not be landed unless demanded
or asked for by Nicaragua. A treaty with Sardinia
was also concluded. 1t is similar to the British
treaty. A French treaty is soon to follow. The
American treaty has been totally ignored. From all
that be learned it is not unsafe to say that if the
statements relative to Sir Gore Ousleys alleged
tons in Nicaragua be correct he has not only viola
ted his own instructions but the solemn understand
ing between the British Government and the United
States.
If the facts are as stated, the President notwith
standing the refusal of Congress to grant him ex-
traordinary power to protect the rights and proper
ty of Americans in Central America, will act in con-
frmation with the written stipulations between the
two governments, respecting Sir Gore Ousley's mis-
sion.
The President to-day was advised of the seizure
of Whites steamers, and said that the rights of
American citizens shall and will be protected 1t is
probable that an additional naval force will be sent
to Nicaragua
WASHINGTON, April 1.-The Cabinet to-day con-
sidered Nicaraguan affairs, and to the conclus
ion that if Sir Gore Ousley has violated his in
structions, demand be made on England to dsavow
his acts If Nicaragua, still refuse to ratify the
Cass Yassar treaty, diplomatic relations with Mica
ragua will be suspended.
The Administration doubts the report that Mira
mon has negotiated for the transfer of Tehauntepec
to European powers, but looking at it as the result
of British and French intrgues in Central America,
would not be surprised if the next steamer brought
contirmatory advices; in which case our Govern
ment will take strong ground against the act, and
will probably re-assemble Congress.

REDUCTION OF FREIGHTs.-We stated in our last
that Maj Wilder had gone to Petersburg to confer
with the authorities of the Petersburg Railroad
Company, with the view Of reducing reghts on pro-
duce and merchandise on the Raleigh and Castor
and Petersburg Roads. We have seen Maj. Wilder
since his return and have learned from him that the
result of the conference was highly satisfactory;
that an arrangement was made on fair principles to
both Companies, by which the freights will be ma
terally reduced; and that the reduction will take
place as soon as the tariff of freights can be made
out and printed. Maj Wilder is entitled to the
thanks of the farmers and business men for ef
fecting this reduction of charges on produce and
merchandise

Important from Nicaragua.

Be late intelligence from Nicaragua is important
1t seems that the British Minister Sir William Gore
Ousley, has secured the ratification of his treaty
with Nicaragua, to the detriment no doubt of Amer
lean interests NJ. Belly, the Frenchman, has enter
ed upon the construction of his CANAL under the aus
pieces of his government; and the vessels of the
American Transit Company have been violently
seized by the authorities of Nicaragua, probably at
the instigation of the English and French.
The truth is, American interests in Nicaragua
seem to have been suffering for some time past
and these recent movements unless promptly met
and arrested, will cripple if not entirely destroy
influence and our rights in that quarter The inva-
sion of American rights, and the trespass on Ameri-
pro ,erty, in the seizure of the Transit Compa-
nys ships, will require stern and decided action on
the part of the President But what can the Presi-
dent do? He appealed to the late Congress, but APP
peaed in vain, for authority to use the arms of the
country, naval and military, to protect American
life and property in Nicaragua. The warmaking
power is in Congress, and in emergencies of this
kind the President is comparatively powerless. \
special act would have enabled him to take immedi-
ate and effectual steps for the protection of Amer
can interests As it is, however, we have no doubt
he will exert himself to the extent of his power to
prevent the contamination oc the selfish designs of
the English and French in Central America, and to
PREPARATION for the injury done to the interests
of the Transit Company.

In what single particular could the country have
sustained at the hands of Fremont more injury than
it has received from Mr.. Buchanans administration
We cannot conceive of one.-Register.
We do not conceive it necessary to answer the
above question, for the whole Southern country will
characterize it with the honest indignation it de-
serves.
4 We ask our readers to mark well the language of
the Register, and treasure it for future use. That
paper is evidently preparing the way for coopera-
ton in 1860 with all the odds and ends of all parties
North and South, against the national Democracy.
If it sees no greater and better security for the
South in Buchanan than in Fremont, is it not rea-
sonable to suppose that it will sympathze WITH if
it does not actually support, the black Republican
candidate for President in 1860 against the Demo-
cratic candidate? And are the Wings and Know
Nothings of North Carolina prepared to endorse
such course on the part of the Registere Is this
Gilmer and Vance doctrine? Is this the doctrine
with which it is expected the Democratic candidate
in the Halifax District will be defeated? Is this
North Carolina Whiggery?

MAN SHOT IN JoHNsTON.-We learn that on Tues
day night last Mr. Eldridgc Creech while returning
from Court and when about six miles west of
Smithfeld, was shot in the face, by as is sup
posed of the name of w. II. Kennedy Mr.. Creech
was riding in buggy with R: W. Stevens, Esq.,
and it is supposed that Mr. Creech shot through
mistake, as Mr. Stevens had been called upon during
the week to give testimony against Kennedy, and
had been threatened by the latter. His intention, it
is thought, was to shoot Stevens. Kennedy was
rested, and the facts which were altogether circum
stantia were brought out in an examination before
Justices Stevens and Lane. S. A. Smith, Esq, APP
peared for the State and j. H. Abel, Esq, for the
prisoner. Mr. Creech was IN a critical condition.

Wilmington Herald.
So say we. But it seems Joshua tarried few
days in Connecticut on his way home, to make
speeches against the national Democratic candidates
for Congress in that State. But as the Raleigh Reg
lister, judging from its issue of the Goth Of March,
would have been as we'll satisfied with the election
of Fremont as the election of Buchanan we suppose
that paper will rejoice over any black Republican
success which may be achieved in Connecticut by
the aid of Joshua and other ultra abolitionists
Does the Herald sympathizc with the Register in
the comparative satisfaction with which it would have
contemplated Fremont's election? Wepresume not.
az The Register is not justified by any thing
which has appeared or failed to appear in the Stand
ard in putting us down as in favor of specific du-
ties or of Railroad to the Pacific by the general
government We are opposed to both. We are in
favor of ad calorem taxation both in the federal and
State governments, and we will never abandon the
principle We are in favor Of Railroad to the Pa
c:fic but not by the general government.
We are also friend and supporter of the admin
istration of Mr.. Buchanan; and, upon the whole,
and especially as far the South is concerned, we
regard it one of the best and safest the country
has ever had.
Does the Register understand us now?
