New JERsEY.-New Jersey the only North
crn State that was not overwhelmed by Lin
conism, has glorious record i'll the following
extract from late report of the judiciary Com
mittee of the Senate:
New Jersey has fulfilled every obligation
to the Constitution; she has no personal liberty
bill on her statute book, and her laws for the
rendition of fugitives from service were enacted
to carry out the provisions Of the Fugitive Slave
Law of 1193 Being border State Fugitives
have great facilities for taking refuge on her
soil but they have invariably been delivered
upon claim of the party entitled thereto, under
her laws. The Act concerning fugitive slaves
authorizes their reclamation either by the Acts
Of the Legislature of Congress, and the
keeper of the State Prison, and Sheriffs and
Country Jaiiors are required to receive and
safely keep in their prisons all persons com
mItted under the authority of the United
States, till discharged by due course of
law"
The report also mentions that citizens Of
Southern States, having temporary residence
in New Jersey are permitted to bring with
them personal slaves, and take with them their
servants on removal out of the State.
The act repeating the so-callcd personal lib
erty bill of Rhode Island, having passed the
Senate Of that State few days ago, was con-
CURED in by the house yesterday, by a vote of
~ to IL. As 1t Is certain TO be signed by
Governor Sprague, the personal liberty bill is
definitely repealed. The action of Rhode Is
land must meet the approval Of the friends of
cancellation. The northern States generally,
as well Rhode Island, stand ready to yield
all laws which can be construed as hostile to
to the rights of the South and most of them
will probably do so from sense of justice
and comfy, irrespective of whether they will
be met in corresponding spirit by the secc-
ding States. Indeed, there is no point of diff
ference between the North and the South
which could not be adjusted within week,
if they could agree as to their respective rights
in the territories. Here is where the real
pinch comes No settlement that an extern
sion of slavery over foot of American soil,
now free, will be worth the paper it is
written upon. The North will yield much for
the sake of peace, but this it is very certain
they will not yield-N T. World.

No DUEL.-Mr. John spelman, editor of the
State Journal of this City, challenged W. W.
Holden editor of the N. G. Standard, to NOR
tai combat, a day or two ago. Ed. Graham
Haywood, Esq, bore the challenge, as Mr..
Spelman's friend. Mr. Holden refused to re-
cognize Mr.. Spelman as gentleman, whereupon
Mr.. Haywood substituted himself in place of
his principle, to whom Mr.. Holden replied that
he had nothing against him to seek his life
Messrs. Holden and Haywood have always been
friendly, and the challenge on the part of Mr..
Haywood was, we presume, only in accordance
with ''the code" We learn that their personal
relations remain as formerly.
The Local" does not wish to mix in other
peoples quarrels, and he does not know what
particular reass-i was assigned for Mr.. Spell
mans challenge, but he has this to say: If I'm
son men are to be slaughtered for expressing
their sentiments he is-out the ring, but still
IN the Union-DGily Banner.

TIE Country and OIInate Of ssutb Amer
fca-The Iffv of Lima.

Ths Country and Climate Of seutb Amer
ioa-Ths CITY Of Lins.
A correspondent Of the Cleveland (O1
Herald, writes thus from Lima:
Although but l2o south Of the line, the eli.
mate Of Lima Is delightful, and theheat tenn
pered from one quarter by the cool breezes Of
ihe Pacific, OF the refreshing winds that come
from the Cordilleras on the other. Upon
this portion Of the coast il never rains, bat
this dryness is corrected by heavy dews,
and during the Summer months this mist
collects into vaporous clouds which distil,
imperceptibly, a refreshing moisture to the
valley. Aside from this kind provision Of
nature, the whole valley of the Rimac Is
irrigated by the river of that name; from
this main artery innumerable veins are led,
and through this unfailing agency con-
slant vegetation and verdure is kept up.
Lima is perhaps one Of the best watered
towns in the world the Rimac flows
directly through its center, and affords not
only supply to the inhabitants, but is also
diverted through the city by means of large
open sewers, and in this manner is employed
10 cleanse the town; the water courses with
such rapidity through these channels, that
all impurities disappear like magic and no
unpleasant odors arise. The municipal or
dinances are very stringent in their nature,
and provide directly for the health and com.
complished in one large establishment below
the city, and this enclosure is certainly a
model Of its kind the floor presents apaYed
grooved surface, and slopes from either side;
with a bountiful supply of water which
flows constantly through the building, the
whole area is kept quite clear, and nothing
of an unpleasant nature is allowed to re-
main.
Lima has police force Of some 200 men,
k,,,t OactsII;o tl,fo lornro hCdv
| from view to his own personal safety than
| from any regard to the interests Of the town.
| He lives in constant fear Of revolutionary
outbreak, and the most arbitrary measures
are enforced TO prevent an occurrence of
I that kind. The police are all armed with
carbiRes, and would not scruple TO use them
upon the populace on the shadow Of a
chance. A late decree of the President
compels all to close their doors after twelve
| O'Clock at night, and should one happen to
be abroad after that hour, you may look for
pleasant escort from some of the police
Of the public resorts of Lima, the most
prominent are the two "Alemadas;" one of
these is used principally for vehicles, and the
other affords most elegant promenade"
Upon feast-days, or Sunday, the former is
! crowded with carriages and equestrisns,
| and with those Of modern date, a few
coaches of the old Spanish pattern appear.
| With the ladies a species of "volante" is
/ much in request, which from its peculiar
| construction is well calculated to display to
advantage their personal charms. With the
introduction of European fashions, the Pc
| ruvian ladies no longer conceal their
| features with the one-eyed mantle, but now
| appear in public like sensible creatures,
simple "Rebozo" gracefully adjusted on the
head

A Perfunctorr ExecutIve.

We learn from a reliable source that the
extremely deliberate manner in which Gov
ernor DennisOn, of Ohio, has moved in the
business Of forwarding the troops recruited
in Ohio to Washington has caused much
dissatisfaction at the Capital. 1t came to be
suspected that our Executive was not quite
up to the exigencieS of the day, and had not
permitted himself to consider the great
value of time in military operations. If it
should SO happen that through bis tedious
ness our troops are stopped on the way, and
taken possession of by Virginia, to be kept
until the war is over the popularity of
Governor Dennison will not thereby be
greatly increased.

every thing in an original and effective

There is probably no doubt that Virginia
hes passed the ordinance Of Secession. If
all that is related be true, the Secessionists
had their plans matured and their troops in
readiness to move as soon as the ordinance
was adopted. To seize the seat of the Ma.
tional Government will be their first object,
and it is not impossible that with their au-
dacity and their means, if they shall succeed
in controlling the avenues of approach to the
Capital, it will fall into their hands.
Maryland, at the last accounts, continued
loyal, and troops were permitted to pass
through Baltimore on their way to Wash
ington. But Maryland still can not but be
locked upon with suspicion; and it may, to
say the least, be nationally apprehended, that
the influx of Southern forces will give the
local Secessionists the ascendency, in which
case the tables will be turned, and the way
be closed against further additions to the
force designed to protect the city.
Virginia has large body of militia said
to be in an affective condition. To what
extent she has concentrated her forces, and
how lear they are to the point of attack it is
impossible to know. The fate of the city at
present depends upon the relative rapidity
with which the two parties are able to bring
their troops into the field. If the Baltimore
and Ohio Railway shall be kept open to
Northern recruits for few hours longer, it
will require some thing more than Virginia
proves to conquer the National Capital.

done in spite Of some urgent remonstranees.
The troops leave Columbus this mornings
and as there is at least an even chance that
by the time they arrive at Central Virginia,
the road will be taken possession Of by Vir-
ginia forces, we may as well make up our
minds to learn that our fellOw-citizens who
left us with high hopes Of winning honor
and glory in the tented field, have been laid
up in ordinary in some rural district Of the
Old Dominion, there to await with such
patience as they can muster, the final settle
