HAYrI-"VWE LA REPUBLIoUE" "-Sixty years
ago, an insurrecton broke out among the Slaves OF
the French planters, in St. Domingo. A b ief and
bloody struggle ensued. At its end they found
themselves free, and possessors of the island Then
it fell to them to,solve problem which has puzzled
the world six thousand years, viz: How to make a
stable government
Ignorant and inexperienced themselves, what
could they do but copy their former masters? The
African race is initiative. The Haytians initiated
the French as naturally the Liberians initiate us
They adopted the French language and laws, French
customs and constitutions.
They adopted also the Fret chman's fondness for
revolutions. They began with Governor, whom
they soon after turned into an Emperor. lie died
and they elected a President whom they afterwards
turned into King. The King ceased to rule, and
then they had some more Presidents, the last O
whom again restored the Empire. He is banished
in turn, and they now restore the republic.
They pull down the throne, they set up the throne
they sign the constitution, they tear the constitu
tion to pieces, just like the other Frenchmen
across the water One year they are gold laced
Counts and Dukes the next it is citizen Jaques and
citizen Jean. This year it is barricades and peo
pie, next year it is bayonets and the Emperor
Port au Prince is Paris, its streets are the Boule
wards, its State Palace is the Tueries, only on q
smaller scale, and with black performers instead Of
white ones.

THE ST.: NICHOLAS. ComACr.-The Cincinnati

IHE ST. NICHOLAS CoHPACT.-The Cincinnati
Commercial of Friday, says:
We were made acquainted last evening with the
circumstances of an alleged violation of the COM
pact now binding the four Atlantic lines, which are
OF so serious nature as to demand an immediate
investigation, and call upon the officers of that
company for prompt action in the premises.
1t is stated thatJ H. Rieman, one of the heaviest
provision dealers in Baltimore indeed, upon the
seaboard is in the receipt of letters from Clarke
Co., of Pittsburg, agents of the Pennsylvania Cen
tra Railroad agreeing to take four hundred tons of
freight from Telre Haute, Ind, to Baltimore, via
Pttsburg and Harrisburg, for sixty cents per hun
dred pounds, being five cents below the regular tar
iif agreed upon at the St. Nicholas Hotel, between
the four Atlantic lines
We have confidence in the probity of Messrs.
Thompson and Scott and presume that this intelli-
gence will surprise those gentleman painfully as
it does us, but have long thought and frequently
expressed the msgiving, that the freight agencies
general and special-of the Pennsylvania Central
Co., needed reconstruction and reorganization. If
the statements, above reproduced by us, are sub
stantiated, the management of the PENNSYLVANIA
road cannot continue its arrangements with Clarke
Co. with impunty.

FROM ARIZONA

correspondent of the New York Times
writing from Fort Buchanan January 25, saws:
The Apaches this morning at an early hour killed
two white men at "Whetstone Springs" twenty
miles from this post, and carried their wives and
families off captiveS. The men killed were Scar
geants Kelly and Berry, who had just been discharg-
ed from the lst Dragons, and were on their way
into the States, with their families. They were ac-
companed by Sergeant Ryan and family, who was
on hsway to the States on lurlough. Sergeant Ryan
made hls escape, but his wife was carried off cap
i've. Several animals were stolen from the post
the same night, it is supposed by the same party.
At tne same time this party of Apaches were
numbering these discharged soldiers, Capt. Ewell
with the Indian Agent, Dr. Stack, was making
treaty with them-showing how much treaty
is worth, made with this treacherous tribe of In
dians.
Sergeant Ryan arrived at the post about 2 p
NJ. with the intelligence, when Lieut.. Lord (the
only officer at the postl Immediately started in
pursuit OF the murderers with about fifty Dragons.
Some anxiety is felt for Capt E., who is out with
only six men, accompanied by Assistant Surgeon
Irwin.
Sergeants Berry and Ryan have been many
years in the Army, and are well known to the cti-
zens as worthy and exemplary men, having many
times been on scouts in command of respectable
number of soldiers. They had honorablv served out
their enlistment in the hardest branch Of the service
and had just started for the States well provided
dollars with them.
The Sonora Il. & NJ. Co. is the first Company to
get out any quantity of silver. This Company arc
in possession of some very rich mines They were
discovered and occupied by colonel Postow, as
agent OF the Company, about two years since. He
has held possession and worked the mines under
great disadvantages. The Company is now under
the charge of Mr.. Lathrop, formerly of Buffalo,
Mr. L. is putting up extensive machinery, sufficient
to reduce 5000 pounds of ore in twenty hours
From one furnace he is getting about Sl0O day
in pure silver. The works are nearly completed
ana are as substantial and strong as wood and iron
can make them. The extent may be estimated from
the fact that it requires $500 pounds quicksilver to
start them.
The Presidents Message has been generally read,
both here and in Sonora, where it is calculated to
make stir. Some of the inhabitants of Sonora
are pleased with it, while others and, think the
most, do not like the idea of our troops taking pos
session OF the country Many of them have friends
in California who, as soon as the Americans got
possession of the soil, were designated Greasers and
In some way driven out of the country. Smarting
under this remembrance it is not surprising that
the landowners look with suspicion on any invasion
OF their territory either by filibusers or by order
of our Government.
