tains the card of Hon. Geo. Nc. Witherspoon
declining @ reelection to the State Senate, on
account of ill health. Mr.. W. was, at the time
he declined, without opposition.
We learn from the Nashville Gazette thai
a duel was fought in the Indian Territory, on
Thursday, 18th ult., between DR.. Mitchell, OF
Hampstead, and Col. CAN'T, Of Sewer county,
Arkansas. The parties were opposing candi-
dates for Congress, and the difficulty doubtless
grew out of the canvass, which was unusually
bitter. Col. CAN'T, the successful competitor for
Congress, was killed.
quite an important political movement is
about to be contaminated in N. York-efecting q
union of the Breckenridge, Douglas and Bell
parties, to secure the defeat Of Lincoln, in tina
State. Without the vote of New York, Lincoln
cannot be elected ; with it the chances are almost
overwhelming in his favor. The conservatism
hope, therefore, by a union of their parties, to
carry the day, and to that end are bending every
energy. But, years ago, New York was given
over to reprobacy, and the enemies of the South
have steadily gained strength, until the effort to
subdue them, even for the sake of the Union,
appears to us an almost hopeless task.
THE Prince of Wales is taking a right
royal triumph through Canada. At oil points,
he has been greeted with intense enthusiasm,
aunkeyism doing its utmost to Guido ITSELF
Next week, the Prince lands at Chicago, travel
ing ~incognito as Lord Renfrew; and thence by
way of the Prairies to Cincinnati, Washington,
Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York, Boston and
Portland. At the last-named place he will en-
bark for England.
He is already the rage in New York-worse
than the Japanese. Everybody, from the Mayor
down to the teacher of q female school in Fifth
Avenue, are opening their houses to him, and
sending express messengers to Canada to Zen
gage his company" Those who wish to do an
advertising dodge propose in the daily papers to
entertain the young sprig, gratis! New York
knows well how to make q summ fool Of
herself, on occasions and in this instance will
certainly out-herod Herod.
- Judge Douglas continues on his tour
through the country-stumping for the Presi-
dency. He was in Virginia last week, and is in
attendance, this week, upon his convention in
Raleigh, N. G.. He is "betrayed' into a speech
at every point, and every where folks give him
an enthusiastic reception. Poor fool, he thinks
every one who joins ia the 'thurra!" will GER
tainly vote the ticket forgetting that he is mere
ly playing the part of on elephant before the
backwoods crowd, simply the hugest beast in the
show.
We regret to observe that our candidate, MIR.
Breckenridge, has consented to make a stump
speech in Kentucky. If ever an aspirant for the
Presidency could be excused for making such a
disgusting exhibition of himself, Mr.. Breckin-
ridge, thoroughly villifed and m~aiigued as he
is, deserves the good word in his behalf but he
has heretofore, in an eminent degree, occupied
the high position of one who ''neither seeks nor
declines the Presidential Office" and we had
hoped that the dignity Of our standard bearer
would not be yielded, even to the solicitude Of
friends.
- Albert W. Hicks, the pirate of oyster
sloop notoriety, who was ostensibly hung on
Bedloe's island on the 18th July, has come
again to life and is now in Poughkeepsie, N.
Y, with his sister, Mrs. Gavan. After his ex-
%ecution, his body was placed in the hands of
Drs. Bell and O'Keilly of Brooklyn, who by
means of DR.. Vergnes' Electro. chemical bath
and initiation of the lungs, &c., brought it to life.
The neck was much bruised but not broken ;
and the left eye is out. The patient is still
abed, but will recover entirely. He denounces
the biography and confession which has been al
req dy gotten up of him, as n lie. He will make
his true confession to Stephen c. Masset, who is
now visiting him at Poughkeepsie.
"Pink," the New York correspondent of the
Charleston Courier, treats this whole statement
as a "miserable hoax" The names Of the two
Drs. mentioned, are not to be found in the Dr.
rectory; while the third, DR.. ]. J. Crane, is
spoken of as o 'high and Jealous ~Freemason,
q splendid physician, and a fine gentleman"
Gen. William Walker, the American
"Garibaldi' so called, has recently captured
Truxillo, a seaport town of Honduras, with a
force of about five hundred men, against a popu-
lation of FIVE thousand. He was assisted by
Cabanas, q deposed president Of Honduras, who
is an enemy to the present ruler, Guardiola.
Walker captured several cannon and stands Of
arms, eighteen hundred pounds Of powder and q
large quantity of munitions, including clothing,
provisions, &C.. He is confident in the strength
of his position. He has issued q proclamation
to the people of Honduras, claiming Central
America as his adopted home from which he
has been driven stating that the Bay Islands
are now in very much the same condition, that
Guardiola is the common enemy Of the adopted
citizens of both these Islands and Central Amer
ica and making Common cause with them against
the Honduras Government, as likely to restore
BIN to his adopted country. To this end, how
ever, he only wars against the administration Of
Guardiola-guaranteeing to the people of Hon
duras their rights both o fperson and property.
--Apprehensions are entertained that Spain
is about to make a descent upon Vera Cruz, the
head quarters of the Liberal Mexican govern
ment, in consequence Of the refusal Of Juarez to
make restitution of the brig Conception. Juarez
was making active preparations to Withstand the
expected attack and the people of the city were
looking forward to it with great Enthusiasm
This enthusiasm was occasioned by the belief
that, in such an event, the Uni ted States would
assist the Juarez government. Indeed Juarez
has already dispatched a courier with letters to
our government, asking public assistance, or at
