DON'T WA1T-John Foster, in his essay
on decision of character, says: alt is
wonderful how even the apparent casual
ties of life seem to bow to a spirit that
will not bow to them;" words which we
wish all those young men would ponder,
who, instead of throwing themselves into
the work of life and doing manly part,
arc forever waiting for something to turn
up. There seems to be altogether too
many of this class of persons at the pres
cnt day, and a sad sight they are. lrres-
olute, indolcnt, doing nothing, waiting
turn in the tide, and yet never throwing
themselves upon the tide and breasting
the waters like men in earnest. Their
province seems to be to wait in lstless-
ness and sloth, while the diligcnt and per-
scycring brush by them, hasten on, and
secure lie prize.

Position OF GEN. BoNnAM-The Lau
rensville Herald contains an account of q
serenade in that place. Several gentle.
men were called out, among them Gen
Bonham. The Herald says:
Our immediate Representative, Gen
NJ L. Bonham, was then called out, and
responded in his usual out-spol<en, happy
manner. Ho presented the four candi-
dates for Presidency to view, with their
respective creeds and chances of success.
The fight lay between Lincoln and Breck-
inridge-the-othcr two but floating straws
and of these Lincoln, hethought, would
succeed. When he had, then the policy
of the South wasa Southern Confederacy;
if that was impossible, a confederation Of
the cotton States; and if that failed, and
the worst come to the worst, separate
State action. He said it was out of place
to discuss the latter until there was ne
ccssity for it; he did not think there would
be. for he had much confidence in the uni
ted action of the Southern States"

the same time, however, it is believed
Walker can count upon thesympathy and
assistance of all the Liberal party of all
the States-in particular, of Nicaragua.
We have nearly a full list Of Walkers
men, which we shall publish as soon as
we can perfect it. We take occasion to
say. however, that many of them arc well
known in this city, and have before dis
tinguished themselves under Walkers
banner in Nicaragua. Among those par
ticularly mentioned for their valuable ser
vices at the present time is Gen. Rudler,
of Alabama, whose friends in that State
will be glad to learn of his success. Major
Hoff, of Virginia, and Major Dolan, of
New Orleans, are also particularly men
toned.
At Truxillo, Walker had the good for
tune. also to como intopossession, with the
forts, of large number of small arms,
and considerable quantity of ammuni-
ton, provisions, and other stores. He al
so found therein, as before mentioned, a
number of pieces of cannon, which were
being remounted, and everything put in
the best possible condition.
Provisionsand stores were being brought
in from the neighboring country and
island, and there was no doubt of his be-
ing able to make good his possession of
the town againsts.all odds. He has not
lost man since the expedition started,
and when our informant left, all his men,
except the wounded, were in perfect
health.-Ne,o Orleans Picayune.

MURDER IN SOUTH CARoL1NA.-An in
quest was held on Sunday night on the
body of Isaiah Golding, who was stabbed
by John Williams on the 18th inst, and
died OH the oath.
1t appears that Williams had been kill
ing cattle unlawfully on the plantation OF
Hon. J. III. Hammond, when Goldings
son saw him and told on him. Where
upon Williams beat him badly. Golding,
the father, demonstrated with Williams,
and struck him, when he went off short
distance, and his son, J. Williams, jr.,
gave him his knife, when he turned upon
Golding and stabbed him in the region OF
the heart, inficting mortal wound.
Both the Williams were arrested, and are
now in Jail.
The verdict of the coroners jury was
in accordance with the above facts-Au-
gusta Dispatch.

cannot be taken by any force that can be
brought against him. Besides, the exist
inc Government of Guardiola is unpopu-
lar, while his rival, Cabanas, whose cause
Walker has espoused, is everywhere a
favcrite with the people.
AT last accounts Cabanas was on the
Pacific side of the State of Honduras,
where he was said to be everywhere IA
yorably received by the people. He is a
native of the country, and believed to be
oFpure Castilian blood.
Guardiola is either half breed or full
blooded Indian. He has the reputation
Of being very ignorant and brutal, and to
have obtained his present domination
over the country through fear alone
AS said before, Walker and Cabanas, as
the leaders of the LIBERAL party, perfectly
understand and sympathize with each
other. 1t is supposed that the plan Of
operation is this:
As soon rs he shall have assumed his
nosition at Truxillo, Walker leaving a
garrison for the fort, will set out with
snch forces as he may have raised for the
interior. Cabanas, in the meantime, will
march this way to meet him, with such
forces as he may command. 1t is believ-
ed that the place of meeting will be Co.
mayagua, when a.General Government
will be established, representing both the
spanish American and Central American
forces.
Guardiola, it is believed, will be able to
..ole but a feeble resistance to the COM
bined forces of the two Generals. he
has, however, asked the assistance OF the
reactionary party of Guatemala and 9th
.er States Of Central America, and it re-
mains to be seen to what extent and eff
ss.ancy this assistance will be given. At

In the Senate yesterday the following bills
were passed Supplementary to an act passed
April 5, 1859, entitled ian act for the asses
ment and taxation Ofall property in this State,
and for leVying taxes thereon, according to its
true value in money" To provide for the ap.
pointment of guardians for imleciles To
amend an act entitled ian act to authorize the
building of an arsenal for the State OF Ohio"
The Senate agreed to House amendment, to
repeal instead of suspend the library clause in
the school law. This bill now only lacks the
official signatures to make it law. The Sen
ate adjourned until 10 O'Clock on Friday morn
ing.
In the House the resolution authorizing the
superintendent of the Northern Lunatic Asy~
lum to repair the roof, was amended by the
Senate so as to assign the work to the Trus-
tees in which the House concurred. The
Acting Commissioner Of the New State House
furnished an estimate Of the cost of sinking the
Artesian well $50 feet below its present depth.
He thinks it will cost 81, ,2s0 to bore that ad-
ditionAl depth. Bills were introduced To
protect people in the peaceful pursuit Of their
labOr-tTo prevent "strikes;") and to provide
for sinking and redemption fund. The fOls
lowing bills were passed To repeal the library
clause of the School Law-yeas 81; nays 80;
To amend the game laws; to authorize the sale
of certain School Lands; To amend the act of
April 4, 1859, relating to the procedure before
justices OF the peace; To amend the act regu-
lating the publication Of Ohio State Reports
To provide for the collection and payment Of
costs in prosecutions for minor offences; To
authorize cities, villages, &c, to issue bonds in
certain cases. The House adjourned until half
past 9 o'clock on Friday moning.-StatssmaR,

dienoy and prOpristy Of establishing an addi-
tiOnsl State prison and the best location

have finally, at the heel Of the ssssi on of the
Legislature, made a report, which is in the hands
Of the printer. They report in favor of build

the location. Mr.. Jaryia Of Stark, and Mr.
sPOOner, Of Hamilton. Recommend Sandusky
as the site of the new Penitentiary, and Mr.,
Franklin, Of PiSkaway, is in favor of Hsmil-
ton, Butler county. The competition between
several Of the cities and towns Of the State was
quite vigorous, but Sandusky leads its rivals 50
far for prison honOrs.
The erection Of new Penitentiary has yet
to run the gauntlet of the Legislature. The
cost Of new prison would probably reach q
million of dollars or more, an appropriation
which we think will hardly be made at th'
present sesEion. There are now about nint
hundred eonvicts in the pspitepIiAry, and th'
Courts are constantly swelling their number

EDs LEADER Warn breeEes and alternate

variety Of colds and kindred infrmities. The
harbor is nearly clear of ice-tho water craft iS

We are having lively times in political affairs.
So exciting contest for municipal officers has
seldom been witnessed in this city.
am sorry to see the Herald of your city and
other Republican, papers give credence to the
Democratic fabrication that many Republicans
are disaffected with Hon. John Wentworth, our
candidate for Mayor. There wero several can
didates for Mayor-Mr Wentworth carried name
out of the ten Wards at the primary elections
and is the strongest man who could have been
put up. Not prominent Republican can be
named who refuses TO support him. The De-
mooracy have put forward their best man and
Chicago has floating vote composed of the
scum of all nationalities-uFon the disposal Of
this incongruous mass will depend, to some eX-
tent, the result Although the Republican
majority may be reduced, no one need fear that
this citadel Of Freedom will surrender to the
enemy. Liberty, Economy and Long John"
is the rallying cry of the campaign.
The change Of time for holding the National
Convention from June 18th TO May 10th, gives
universal satisfaction among Western Republi-
cans. Preparations are already being made for
the occasion. A new Hall under process of
srection-designed to be the largest in the West
will be completed, if possible, in time for the
Convention. Two or three State delegations
have already secured accommodations at the
hotels Iowa will send thirty three delegates
though she will have but eight votes and the
Missouri Republicans will be here in strong
force for Edward Bates
The statement by the Washington cores
pondent of the Chicago Press and Tribune that
the delegation from several districts in Ohio
would make Ab.am Lincoln their first choice,
is considered premature. Western Republicans
expect Ohio to present united delegation for
Senator Chase, and if Lincoln cannot be nOmi-
mated Illinois will be ready to make the "Model
Governor" her next choice. The feeling is
strong for Western Republican.
/ The National Union" party have club Of
sore heads and newspaper organ in this city,
lately established, but seems to meet with no
favor. The "Union" game of 1856 is played
out Let Republicans East listen for the ecFack
of doom" that will resound on Tuesday next
a crack that will be most disastrous to Charles
ton.
Hon. J. R. Giddings lectures tomorrow even
| ing before the Young Mems Association. The
Republicans have mass meetings Friday and
Saturday evenings. 1t is hoped to trOt out the
old "War Horse" on one of those occasions.

The Douqlas Army Of rrumpeters.

Mr. Buchanans home organ, the Washing
ton Constitution, is very severe on what it
terms the ''army Of trumpeters" who are blow
ing loud and frequent blasts for Douglas
1t denies the assertion that Douglas delegates
have been elected from Baltimore, and contra
diets many other likeTePorts, as follows:
We know, for instance, that the New York
delegation chosen by the regular Democratic
convention Of the State at Syracuse in Sep
tember last, are not pledged 10 Judge Douglas
or any other man; and that they will never
vote for any one who is not entirely acceptable
to the Democracy Of the Southern States. We
know that the Connecticut delegation occupy
precise similar position that the Minnesota
Convection by vote Of two to one, negatived
resolution Of instructions in favor of Mr.
Douglas; that the delegations from Massachu>
sets and Maine, which "the trumpeters" have
announced 10 be units for him, are not only
not So but very far hom it; and that in
Ohio and Indiana, whence the trumpets have
sounded most loudly and exutingly, there are
very strong parties opposed to Judge Douglas
