The LIE SUEUR COUNTY MuRDER.-Much
indignation was expressed freely about town,
yesterday, when the morning papers laid be-
fore their readers the particulars of the out
rageous murder of Rheinhart, by a mob of
men in Lexington. 1t was everywhere brand
ed as cowardly murder, and it remains to
be seen whether the rest of the State repudi-
ates this stigma brought on US, or acquiesces
in the outrage by not branding it in befitting
terms.
We learn, privately, that the story of the
men being from abroad, Rice county, is all
stuff. They were bona fide LIE Sueur county
men disguised, though it is true that some
were Irish. These were allowed to do the
dirty and brutal part of the murder, being
most fit for it, while the others abetted it by
not preventing it in the least.
Let our State Government, if we have one,
take the matter in hand, and see that the thir-
ty or forty murderers are brought tojustice. 1t
is plain that they never can be by the LIE
Sueur county authorities, and the outrage is
one too great to be passed by, or to permit the
perpetrators to go unwhipt of justice.

The correspondence between Commodore
Paulding and the authorities of Nicaragua has
recently been made public. Com. Paulding,
on the Sth of May last, addressed a letter to
the Secretary of the Navy, covering docu-
ments from Gen.. Jarez and the President of
Nicaragua, relieving him of all blame and re-
sponsibility in landing at Punta Arenas, for
the arrest of VIM. Walker and his lawless fol-
lowers. The first is dated at Leon, March 90,
1858, saying that Com. Pauldings conduct
was received by the government of that Re

of the Prefect of Nicaragua, in which it is said
that VIM. Walker, with a mob of highway
men, invaded Nicaragua for the purpose of
tramplng under foot the principles of human
ity and justice, on which public law reposes.
The government commissions Jarez to express
to CON- Paulding the most profound gratitude
for an act so illustrious. Humanity and civ
ilization have already proved the Judgment
most honorable to you, and posterity will re-
peat this judgment more eloquently and ad
miringly. 1t is history alone that Judges the

WASHINGTON, Dec. 81. Z,
Late and direct intelligence from Havana
reiteratest that much excitement prevails there,
concerning the Presidents Message, but af.
fords no besis for the belief that revolutiona-
ry movements are contemplated. The gener-'
al tone of the advices is such as to warrant the
assertion that the Intervention of the French
Government has not been requested for any
purpose, while it is reported that the authori-
ties of Tampico, through the efforts of the
Captain General of Cuba, satisfied the claims
of certain Spanish subjects, this being an so-
lated case. The additional statement is made
that the difficulties between the Government
of Spain and that of Mexico are in fair way
Of adjustment.
From another source of information in this
city, there are doubtless good grounds for the
recent telegraphic statements from New Or
leaes, concerning fillibuster movements against
