President ashamed of tolerating this man ]
Wnflfer liear'bim". T willg'v up !he crg-mei.'.
He has been the cause of the h- more in
nocent lives than any other man of our dn
and time. He has inflicted unheard-of injuries
upon onrconntrytnen in Central America • and
now he is about to go forth on a new expedi
tion of rapine and spoil. Alternating in tht
bands of one speculator and then of another,
he goes with any one who is ready to pay him
the most. lam of the opinion that nothing
will ever l>e done to effect a peaceful settle
ment of this question until the speculators are
got rid of and Walker is punished, as he de
serves to be. The whole affair is eminently
disgraceful to the country.
The statement that Mr. Buchanan is ready
to make peace with Judge Douglas is false.—
He does not intend it. I speak of wlmt I
know. An instance in proof of this ass* rtion
may be cited : Only a day or two before the
election in Illinois he removed from the post
office, at Jerseyville, in that Stat-, Mr. C. S.
Jackson, well known in vonr city where he has
resided for years, and where he is very respect
ably conuected. Cause—his attachment to
Douglas.
What renders Mr. Pacha nnn more furious,
however, is the awful manner in which lie lias
been deceived by Cook, Lcib, nnd Carpenter,
the men to whom, by the advice of Cobb anid
others, he has confided in Illinois. The son of
Senator Fitch, of Indiana, was another of those
worthies. He was the especial calumniator of
yourself and others, and his speeches, course
as they were, were transferred to his own home
organ in Georgia, the Athens Banner, and edi
torially approved. A Georgian, now here,
gays the endorsement was sent from the Treas
ury Department by Clayton himself. That
these men, armed with nil the powirof the
Federal Government, incited to labor from
here, and written to by members of the Cabi
net, and even by the President himself, have
not been able to poll more than four thousand
votes out of 215,000, is the proof alike of their
own weakness and recklessness, and of the
wickedness of the policy of the Administration.
It is this that galls the President.
The New York Jour an lof Comnv.rce, Balli
more tixeknnge, Providence I'ost , and others,
are cutting loose from the Administration, ami
have already come out for Douglas. While
this makes Mr. Buchanan very indignant—for
all these papers adhered to liiiu up to the mo
ment of the Illinois election—it is exactly
what lie ought to have expected. They did
their very best to uphold him ; they even or
ganized themselves against Douglas ; but, af
ter all they cannot resist the tide They give
in reluctantly ; but when we reflect that they
were all the time quietly on our side, their
declaration siuee the election is not to be won
dered at.
Glancy Jones has returned to Reading n
roost unhappy man. I was wrong in stating
that uoder the new diplomatic bill lie could
not be paid till lie reached Vienna. He re
ceives his salary from tlie date of his appoint
ment, nnd may stay as long as lie pleases in
old Berks, Cucle Samuel footing his bills
We have the news of Mr. Huskin's election
this rooming. This is a very bitter pill. Mr.
l'ryor of the Richmond South, will now admit
that your Tarrytown speech diu not entirely
defeat your friend Raskins.
There is nq doubt that the Southern people
are resolved against Walker's new raid upon
Central America. He has no sympathisers
outside of a set of filibusters and disunionists.
There is a rumor upon good authority that
Secretary Cobb will resign bis office if Mr.
Buchanan makes a move in favor of Pennsyl
vania iron. There is no doubt that Mr. Coi>h
has been talking very bitterly against any such
assistance to our great interests, and that Clay
ton, his shadow, has circulated his sentiments
far and wide. Whether the Secretary of the
Treasury will go out on such a question re
mains to be seen. Something must be done for
revenue, and Mr. Cobb must show us the way
to raise it.
That the Southern statesmen will come to
Washington iu December by no means pleased
with the position of affairs, 1 know. Look
out for some queer developeiuents.
(Correspondence of the New York Times.)
Washixc ton, Nov. 12.
The position assumed by the British Gov
ernment relative to Nicaragua and American
filibusters lias created the liveliest interest here.
The resistance threatened by the British forces
in the Nicaragua waters is not the worst fea
ture of the case. Mr White has been assured
that his boats could not navigate the San Juan
if under the protection of General Walker.—
Should they carry tlie filibuster flag lam as
sured the boats will be seized mid burnt by
the British authorities. Walker regards ail
this as mere bluster to frighten him from In
fixed purposes, and so pronounces it. Yet he
laughs at it and his movements will not be
varied in the slightest by all the threats the
English Legation here can hurl against him.
I am satisfied these arc not empty threats.—
Nor are they so regarded by our Government.
No little excitement exists in the State De
partment in relation thereto. Mr. White has
been required to make declaration that he is
" not in the filibuster interest, nor will lie coun
tenance any violation of our neutrality laws."
General Walker says ilte same thing, lie de
nice any intention to violate the neutrality
laws of the country, and declares his purpose
to go to Nicaragua as a peaceable "emigrant.''
Thus we stiil find White and Walker in the
suae boat. A few days may devclope some
thing of importance.
Rktbiiiition' —The Lawrence Rrpublicin

at the sack of Ossawataiuki in 1856, was re

jfeajr The opening Lecture of the Course for
this winter, provided by the Alpha Epsilon
Society, was delivered on Monday evening last
by llev. THOS. IV. BEF.CHF.R. The subject cho
sen was " Demur ran/ and Republics," —a theme
not cpiite as well suited to the popular taste,
as some of the lecturer's other subjects. The
lecture, however, was an able one, presenting
many new and somewhat startling ideas, but
on the whole calculated to interest an audience
though they may dissent from the speaker's
arguments, and fail to see the force of his con
clusions. The next of the Course will be de
livered on Monday and Tuesday evenings of
tiie first week of December Court, by FRED.
DOUGLASS, the subject chosen will be announced
indue time. Arrangements have been made
to secure lectures from some of the very high

zens extend to the enterprise the patronage
which it is entitled to—which we cannot doubt
will be the case.

"COURTSHIP -Ol> M VTRIMOXY" is the title of
a new work,just issued by the enterprising nib
lishers, T. B. PETERSON A BROTHERS, 300
Chestnut st., Philadelphia, from the portfolio
of Robert Morris, Esq., the able editor uf the
Philadelphia Inquirer. In these days, it is
gratifying to find a volume, like the present,
wherein taste is unvitiated and sense undestroy
ed ; in which simplicity of style and clearness
of expression is retained, and which is written,
not to excite the imagination or pander to the
evil passions of our nature, but to inculcate
lessons of wisdom, as well as to draw tears and
move to laughter. We are reminded, in read- j
ing these essays, of the genial hearted Gold- i
smith. They contain the delicate fancy, the
good sense, and the quiet humor which charac
terize Goldsmith's writings ; and they are,
moreover, with like correctness of language.
They treat, beside tbat of courtship and niatri
mony, of a variety of subjects, from scenes and
experiences in social life, and are particularly !
adapted for every day family reading. Xobook
before the public contains sounder morality, or
practical household wisdom more pleasantly
expressed, and certainly there is no collection j
of essays, better adapted for general reading '
in the family. As the work lias been mast
enthusiastically praised by such men as John j
Grigg, it is needless to say that we trust that !
all persons will extend to it their hearty patron- ■
age, by sending for it, the publishers will send
a copy to any person, to any place, per mail,
on receipt of $1 25.
By the advertisement of the Barclay
R. 11. and Coal Co. it will be seeu that they
have made a reduction in their price of their

Douglas's Re-Election Still in Doubt f
The following paragraphs in the.Chicago ,
Herald , November G, an administration organ, (
will lead tho<?e who propose uniting their for
tunes with the new Douglas party, to see the
propriety of not Jiailooing until they are quite
out of the woods, which event it appears may
possibly not occur till 1800.
On the eve of going to press, we have re
eeived private dispatches from Cairo, J ones
borough, Sliawneetowii and other points MI
Egypt, assuring us of the election of tico and
; probably three national democrats to the lower
llon.se, and assuring us, also, that three of the
democratic senators holding over will, beyond
doubt, oppose the re-ejection of Douglas. Ad
ded to tfiis good news, we have the assurance
that several of the senators and representatives
just elected, and supposed to be favorable to
Donglas, will not support hirn, but will maintain
the integrity of the democratic party of the
country, by voting forjudge Urease, or some
other good and reliable democrat.
" This intelligence comes tons in such shape
and from sources so reliable, that we cannot
doubt it—cannot doubt that Mr. Douglas will
be debated In bis efforts to secure his re-elec
tion to the United States Senate.
" The true friends of the democratic party
in the legislature, rather than throw a fire
brand in the national councils of the party, j
will so vote as to prevent the election of either
Douglas or Lincoln, and leave the matter open
until I8t?0, when the democracy of the state
will be better able to settle the controversy
consistently with the welfare of the democratic
party.
"We congratulate the Spartan band of
national democrats in Illinois, and the demo
J cracy of the country generally, npon this intel
i ligence, and assure them they may rely upon
its truthfulness. l)mtgins is defeated, and the
1 democratic party will lie safe from his disor
ganizing efforts after the next session of Con
gress, which will finally close his senatorial
career."
I NIAGARA FA1.1.8--THE ROAD TO TERMINATION
I POINT FAI.I.KN AWAY—We learn from the
Hamilton Spectator, that constant change, the
law of nature, reigns too at Niagara. Every
year, the outline of the wonderful cataract
! changes, ns the mighty waters slowly but surely j
wear away their channel, carrying in their
embrace now a small fragment, then a huge'
mass of rock into the chasm below. Years
ago, our readers will remember, Table Rock
! yielded to Time, and at successive periods pieces
of it have fallen. On a visit to the Falls a |
day or two since, we observed another change
has occurred, meriting at least a passing notice.
Every sight-seer must recollect the path which,
commencing below the brink of the ravine on
j tlie Canada side, almost opposite Prospect
House, loads beneath Table Rock, and which
those who desire to go " under the sheet of
falling water " used to traverse in their water
proof habiliments.
. It leads to Termination Point, as a spot a
long distance under the cataract was called,
and the adventurer who dared air and flood to
reach it, blinded by spray, deafened by the '
J terrible roar which the beating of millions of
) tuns of water on the rocks below produces,
used to receive a certificate of his having ac
; complished the feat. The oilskins are yet in
reqnistion, the guides yet demand and receive
their fees, and the certificates are yet given.—
Termination Point, too, may yet "exist. But 1
no mortal being can visit if. It never could
be seen from tlio shore end of the cavernous
tunnel—one side rock, the other water and the
floor a composition of both—which lead thither.
And the path to it is now cut off. The road
along which one used to grope has fallen away.
; One can still walk about a yard under the
(cataract, but then the hardiest and most
I courageous must pause, no further foothold is
j afforded, and another step would lead one to
an intimate acquaintance with all the mysteries
which it is here forbidden us to know. Ere
J long doubtless, now that the stratum of soft ,
, rocks below has fallen and been pounded to
clay, the upper mass will fall. And then
another step will have been taken in the slow I
1 and tedious course in which Niagara has eaten
its own way back from Queenstown, and is, if
| geologists say true, to wear itself away sornc-
where above Chippewa.
EXPLOSION OK A METALLIC COFFIN.—A few
years have served to bring into extensive use j
for burial purposes the now common metallic
j cases or coffins, especially whenever it is desira- ;
I bleor necessary to delay the interment. When ;
first introduced, it was the practice to exhaust!
the air iu these cases after the body had been put
in, to secure them fully, it was said, against
change by contact with the atmosphere. For
various reasons this practice lias fallen into i
disuse, the only precautious now taken being
to completely cool the remains before sealing
i up the case.
From some neglect in this latter respect a
j circumstance took place not long ago, which,
: orignating here, is worth relating. The case,
containing an adult, who had suddenly deceas
ed while apparently in good health, was scaled
up to be sent for interment to a neighboring
State. The conveyance for half a day's ride
! was by railroad, and then by wagon for thirty I
miles. The day was warm and the road rough j
; and much motion was doubtless given to the
j remains. The persons iu charge stopped for !
! a brief rest at a tavern, and were iu the house
j when they, as well as all in the vicinity, were
i startled by a very loud report, and was found
the burial case had by a rapid generation of
j gas, exploded with much violern e, t nirely blow- :
; ingoutthe heavy French glass face plate, which
it shattered into a thousand pieces. Xothiogcould
• be done but to seek a hasty interment in the
| vicinity, and await the coming of cold weather
| to allow the removal of the remains to their
j destined place of burial.— Chicago Press and
j Tribune.
THE CITY OF JEDDO, TII : CAPITAL OK JAPAN, j
j —The city of Jeddo is said to be without ex- !
eeption the largest city in the world. Jt con- :
tains 1,000,000 dwellings, and the unparullel- I
ed number of 5,000,000 of people. Some of i
the streets are 19 Japaneserl's in length, which
is equal to 82 English miles. The commerce j \
of Japan is immense, and the sea along the i
coast is covered with their ships. Their vessels
are laden in the southern portion of the empire
with rice, tea, seaooal, tobacco, silk, cotton and
tropical fruits, all of which find a market in
the north, aud then return freighted with corn, i
salt, oil, isinglass, and other productions of the '
north, which find a market iu the south. (
