sgTThe Enquirer speaks of white and
black people marrying. We should like,
for curiosity's sake, to know whether the
editor of that paper was old enough to, and
did vote for Richard NJ johnson for Vice
President in lS4O-Dick Johnson who had
hostess of the White House had the Demo-
cratic ticket been elected, and had the
President died. This is one of the few cases
of practical amalgamation, and the Democ-
racy tried to set it up as a shining example
for all its lesser lights. Did Willard vote
for the amalgamationist for Vice President?
That's the question.

from Truxillo and Ruatan, on the I'd, brings
four passengers of Walkers expedition
Walker evacuated Truxillo on the night of
the 2lst ut., pursued by the enemy. At
last accounts only one man had been killed.
No opinion of TIE fate of the rest could be
formed.
The steamer BienUaHe from Havana is
below, with seventy passengers. The
health of the Island was excellent. 4 cargo
of slaves had been landed on the Western
coast but we have NO particulars.
The steamer OSceo}a had arrived at Ha-
vana from Truxillo. She brings the news
that the commander of the English man-of-
war had ordered Walker to surrender the
town. and that Walker had obeyed and re-
tired down lower on the coast with eighty
men. According to last accounts his force
was reduced to TWEEN, y-Gve men by the con-
tinued attacks of his enemies. Walker
himself was severely wounded in the face.
Several of his wounded followers were
placed on board the British man-of-war
Heymes, at Truxilo. When the OsceoLa
was leaving Truxillo, Alvarez was entering
the town with 200 men.
The steamer TeUiot had arrived at Havana
from Vera Cruz on the Sd. Miramou was
at the capital concentrating his forces. The
Liberals were rapidly advancing on the
capital. The Juarez Government had de-
clared the bark Maria Conception a lega
prize.

SECURITY INSURANCE CoMPANY.-In TO-
days issue, We call the attention of our
citizens to the Statement of the Security
Fire Insurance Company of New York
city, having a cash GALL paid in) capital
OF half a million dollars (S5Oo,00 and
a surplus of Sl39, 900 all safely invested.
Through their agents in our city, a. C..
Hallock & Son, this company will issue
participation policies, emitting the assured
to q portion Of its profits, of which 75 per
cent. is set aside annually for that purpose d.
providing safety in its yearly accumula-
tions, which are funded instead OF being
divided to stockholders, and cheapness in its
dividends to holders of participation policies
or an abatement from the standard rates OF
premium to customers who may prefer nom
participation.
This feature of dividing portion of the
profits with the policy holder, We think,
should secure a fair portion of Insurance
business to the SECURITY.

E~ Our neighbor says the Journal is
improving. What he calls " blackguard-
ism in our paper is only the appropriate
language to apply to Democratic follies. The
reason the Journal is improving is because
the Democracy have been behaving them
selves half decently for few days past,
since their pole broke If they can possibly
continue within the pale of propriety, the
Enquirer need not be so shocked at our re-
marks on the wickedness of its party and
itself. Take away the occasion and the

The BeII-Everett Meeting,

At the Court House on Monday evening,
the 10th, was very interesting. The Cres-
cent City Band was in attendance and Of
course our Bell friends had frst-rate mu-
sic.
Hon. John A. Rockwell, formerly member
of Congress from Connecticut, first address
ed the meeting.
Mr. Rockwell was followed by Mr.. Amos
Clark, formerly of this city, now of Texas
lie took it for granted that his hearers were
all abolitlonists, and went on to give most
glowing description of the beauties of sla-
very. The piggers were all in state Of
complete delectation in the South, and so
complete did lie paint their felicity, that one
of our citizens remarked, what pity it was
that the audience were not all niggers in the
South. The South was a heaven on earth
the niggers were Il lot of angels; the mas
ters treated them as tenderly as a mother
her infant babe; there was more chastity
amongst the white women of the South
than those of the North there was far more
prostitution in the North than South; and so
he went on disparaging the North and glo-
rifying the South ami the peculiar institu-
ton to the skies.
After this speech, so great damper was
it on our Bell and Everett friends, that Mr..
Rockwell arose and disclaimed all approval
of Mr.. Clark's praise of slavery as physi
cal moral and religious blessing. His peo-
pie in Connecticut thought differently.
We have heard several persons offer to
subscribe money to pay Mr.. Clark s eXpen-
ses if he viii travel through the district and
make thessamc speech. 1t made Republican
votes when delivered and viii wherever re-
peatcd.
james E. Blythe, Esq, who had been an
uounced to speak, had been called away
from the city by the dangerous illness Of a
relative.
After the meeting, the Band serenaded
Mr. Rockwell at the Sherwood House.
