Arrival of the Prometheus at New Orleans.
LATER FROM CALIFORNIA, OREGON
AND CENTRAL AMERICA.
Secure of the Nicaragua Transit Company's
BoattJeddo Destroyed ly an Earthquake.
New O&leajo March 12. The steamer
Prometheus arrived here . to-day, from San
Jllan on the 5th. She brings San Francisco
advices to the 10th of February.
The steamer Northern Light left San Juan
on the 5th for New York, having 300,000
in treasure on freight, according to the pur
ser's account. -
The markets had slightly improved, and
the mines were yielding largely. .
A shock of an earthquake was felt at San
$"rancisco on the 15th of February. The
damage was slight. The shock was felt
throughout the State.
Wuch indignation was felt at the appoint
ment of Mr. McDuSe, a professional gambler,
-S3 Marshal of the Northern District. It is
supposed that the President has been imposed
Q,poc and strong petitions for his removal
liave been numerously signed
OREGON.
The Indian troubles in Oregon and Wash
ington still continued, and new volunteer com
panies are being raised.
The question on the adoption of a State
Government for Oregon goes to the people at
a special election.
CENTRAL AMERICA.
General Walker had seized all the boats of
the Nicaragua Transit Company, annulled
their charter and granted a new charter to
another company.
It is said that the Costa Rica authorities
lhad received Colonel Schlessinger, the Nica
jraguan envoy, on the ground that Costa Itica
-lid not recognize the foreign party in Nica
ragua. Col. Kinney has published a letter in sub
stantiation of his Central American claim.
FROM JAPAN.
The schooner Page, which arrived at San
Francisco from Japan, reports the destruction
of the city of Jeddo by an earthquake, on
the 11th of November. One hundred thou
sand houses were destncd aud thirty thou
sand lives lost.
We have advices froin Canton to the 4th
of Dcembcr, which contain no illusion to
the above calamity. Rut this does not inval
idate the truth of the report, as the commu
nication between the two cities is very slight
and uncertain.
The destruction, if to the extent reported
is almost without a parallel. Th city of
Jatania was destroyed in 1C93, in a moment,
:nd 18,000 people perished in the ruins. In
17."5 the greater part of the city of Lisbon
was destroyed, and nearly 10,000 persons
perished in six minutes.
In 174G, Callao vas totally, and Lima par
tially destroyed by an earthquake, and there
have besn more modern ones of great magni
tude, but nothing approaching this at Jeddo.
The Kansas Question.
The opposition are hard to please. When
the first disturbance occurred in Kansas, they
Idamed the President for not sending U. S.
troops there. Now, that he has issued his
proclamation, and directed Cols. Sumner and
Cook to act in certain emergencies, they blame
him for doing so. The New York Journal of
Commerce thus states the case :
For weeks and months past, the Aboli
tion Republicans have been maligning the
President of the United States because he did
not order troops to Kansas, to protect the set
tlers in their legal rights and privileges, and
Ho put a stop to unlawful interference from
sbroad. At length the Picsident has issued
his proclamation, announcing his purpose to
do exactly this and a little more, viz : To
suppress insurrection in Kansas against the
laws of that State and of the United States.
This last is more than the preachers of peace
and good will to men through the muzzles of
Sharp's rifles bargained for. They would like
to have the national force employed to repel
the "border ruffians" of Missouri, but not
at all to repel the Abolition " ruffians " who
enter the territory with arms and ammunition
accompanying or following them, for the ex
press purpose of resisting the territorial gov
ernment and setting its officers at defiance.
The nation may well be thankful that it has
at its head a man whose eye and whoso heart
embrace the whole country, and who will not
lend himself to promote schemes of sectional
selfishness and ambition.
The troops that he will send will represent
the nation, and under the lead of judicious
and intelligent officers will doubtless aim to
correct whatever is outrageous within the ter
ritory, whether impoited from Missouri or
Massachusetts, The presence of such a force
is apparently the only means of preventing an
armed collision at no distant day, between
ibe territorial authorities of Kansas and the
revolutionists. Do the Abolition Republicans
of the East desire to prevent 6uch a collision?
We doubt it ; and hence, perhaps, their great
est objection to the interposition of the nation
al government. They have predicted Wood
shed, and fomented it and why should their
labor be lost ? Foolish men I they tell their
Jupes that the way to prevent bloodshed in
Kansas is, to send on plenty of Sharp's rifles,
and emigrants competent to use them. The
way to prevent an explosion is to buy a keg
of .powder light a match, and place it within
as iuoh of the bunghole ! No, in our opin
ion, if Massachusetts and other Eastern peo
ple hal not attempted to forestall the question
of slavery ia Kansas, Missouri would not
k -C tttemptcd lt" Tne Abolitionists and
their abettors commenced the game, and if
?ey,Tere P61-8011 tW to plav it out we
should not be much disposed to complain,
liut to put forward comparatively innocent
men to take the brunt of the conflict, while
the chief instigators skulk behind pine boards,
is neither fair nor honorable It is, however
jst like Abolitiouism.
Thb EscLisn Language. The Anglo-Saxon
is not so much one element of the English
language as the foundation of it the basis.
All its joints, its whole art tcidal ion, its sinews
and its ligaments, the great body of articles,
pronouns, conjunctions, prepositions, numerals
auxiliary verbs, all its smaller words which
serve to knit together and bind the larger sen
tences these, not to speak of the grammati
cal structure of the language, are exclusively
haxon. The Latin may contribute its tale of
bricks, yea of goodly and polished hewn stones,
to the spiritual building, but the mortar, with
all that holds and binds these together, and
constitutes them into a house, is Saxon
throughout. Trench.
The Democratic State Convention.
From the Democratic Union. '
We congratulate the Democracy of the
State upon the happy results of the 4th of
March Convention. That body, comprising
as much intelligence as any similar body that
ever met in this capitol, has discharged the
duties entrusted to it most happily for the
cause which it represented. The unanimity
exhibited in the selection of delegates to the
National Convention favorable to the nomina-
tian of Mr. Buchanan, and the general desire
manifested to select candidates for the various
State offices worthy of the confidence of the
party, will be appreciated by the people at
large, and cannot fail to inspire a confidence
which will be irresistible at the polls. The
resolutions, prepared and offered by that un
flinching and gifted Democrat, John L. Daw
son, of Fayette, contain the true Democratic
spirit, and will be responded to in every sec
tion of the Commonwealth. While our ene
mies are distracted by diversity of opinion and
quarrelling about sectional abstractions, the
Democratic party, north and south, are imbu
ed with the same sentiments, and stand, un
divided and invincible, upon sound national
principles. This fact is in itself, a tower of
strength ; and as it becomes more generally
apparent to the moderate and sensible portion
of those who have heretofore opposed us, will
add tens of thousands to our present strength,
and enables us at the n?xt election, to sweep
the entire State and Union with the irresisti
ble force of an avalanche With such a State
ticket as we now have, and prospects of a
popular nomination by the National Conven
tion, we commence the campaign of 1856 with
the most brilliant prospects of success that
ever animated the party. The preservation
of the Union against the attacks of open or in
siiuous foes ; a strict adherence to the Feder
al Constitution ; and the general prosperity of
the. whole country by a wise course of admin
istration ; hostility to fanaticism in every
shape ; these are the objects of the Democrat
ic party and with such objects inscribed up
on its banner, that banner can never be strick
en down.
Congressional Proceedings.
TniRTY-FOURTII CONGRESS.
Washington, March 14.
Senate. Petitions were presented from
Merchants and Importers of Boston, New
York, and Philadelphia, asking for a revision
of the Tariff.
Mr. Johnson reported in favor of printing
31,000 copies of the majority and minority
reports from the Committee on Territories on
the Kansas case, being 500 for each member
Mr. Trumbull opposed the resolution. He
thought the minority report presented the
slavery question in a masterly manner, and
its positions were unanswerable, but it does
not enter into the details as does the majority
report. Hence he was unwilling to send out,
wiih the Senate endorsement, a document con
taining so many unwarranted assumptions,
erroneous deductions and inconsistencies.
House Mr. Washburn, of Maine, argu
ed in favor of the resolution empowering the
Committee on Elections to send for persons
and papers in the Kansas case. He said that
Governor Reeder was removed because he
he would not be a slave and tool of the Pres
ident, who had offered him a mission to China
or Great Britain, if he would resign his Gov
ernorship. Mr. Smith, of Virginia Do I understand
the gentleman to make that charge ?
Mr. Washburn I have seen it in the news
papers. A Washington correspondent made
the assertion, and dared the Washington
Union to deny it. I dare the gentlemen
from Virginia to make the denial.
Mr. Smith I believe it to be a bold un
mitigated falsehood, and it is unbecoming any
member to repeat such newspaper statements.
Mr. Washburn I believe every word of
it. There are gentlemen here who can speak
for the executive

nocsE. The House resumed the consider
ation of the Appropriation bill.
A motion to appropriate 0300,000 to the
Common Schools, was debated and lost by a
vote of 41 yeas to 55 nays.
Mr. Wright ' of Luzerne moved to amend
by appropriating 330,000 for the support of
the Common Schools, to be taken from what
ever increased revenues may be derived from
licenses issued under any act that may be
passed by the Legislature.
A motion further to amend made by Mr.
Ball, to pay the appropriation from any mon
ey in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated,
was defeated, and Mr. Wrights motion pre
vailed after a protracted debate.

Probable War in Central America, .
Washington, March 13th. Information
from official sources confirm the fact that the
alliance between San Salvador, Costa Rica,
Guatemala and Honduras, is completed, and
those States are now prepared tj defend their
own territory as well as to assist their breth
ren of Nicaraiigua against the Government of
General Walker. It is supposed that before
this hostilities have commenced. It is equal
ly true that instructions have been issued by
the several Euroiean Governments to their
squadrons in the Atlantio and Pacific in refer
ence to events in Central America.

A readfci. Earthquake in Japan
The schooner " Page," which recently arri
ved at San Frpncisco from Japan, brought
truly distressing intelligence. It is reported
that the city of Jeddo was destroyed by an
earthquake on the 11th of November, and
that one hundred thousand houses were de
molished, and that thirty thousand human
beings were buried beneath the ruins. Ac
cording to the best authorities, Jeddo, the
capital had a population of one million. The
entire empire of Japan is COO miles long and
100 miles wide, and is composed of islands.
The total population is estimated at 30,000,
000. In the chief island, Niphon, there is
said to be one of the richest gold mines in the
world. There are also terrific voloanoes; the
earthquakes, therefore, are by no means of
rare occurrence. It will be remembered that
one took place a short time since, by which a
Russian frigate was destroyed.
From Central America
New York, March 15. The New York
Herald? Nicarauguan correspondent states
that the government does not intend to seize
any of the ocean steamers That company
having sufficient property in the country to
satisfy the claims of the government, which
is estimated at 280,000. All local improve
ments of course are confiscated to the State.
In fact, the Accessory Transit Company is a
thing of yesterday. I am also able to state
that Great Britain sent a Commissioner ' to
confer with . the government of Niearaugua
upon the Central American question. The
Commissioner representing the government
and the English government met at Grcytown
and agreed upou a basis of settlement that
will settle the question without regard to the
United States. The Mosquito King is to be
placed on the same footing as any other chief.
Mutual good will and a recognition of this
government are some of the preliminaries.
They were conveyed to England by the steam
er that left here on the 4th inst.. and will no
doubt be accepted by Great Britain.
Free Neqxo Bill ix the Virginia Legis

gislature providing that free negroes, migra

without authority of law, are to forfeit their
freedom. Hotel-keepers, employing free ne
groes of another State, shall be liable to a
fine of $50. The 17th section of chapter
117 of the Code is repealed. The emanci
pation of slaves shall be null and void, unle3
0150 be provided for the removal of said
slave from the State, within twelve months.
Free negro convicts, at the expiration of their
term , of imprisonment in the Penitentiary,
are to leave the .State within thirty dajs, or
forfeit their freedom.
Abridgement ov a sermon which took
up an hour in delivering, from these words,
Man is born to trouble."
My friends, the subject falls naturally to be
divided into four heads :
1. Man's entrance into the world.
2. His progress through the world.
3. His exit from from the world ; and
4. Practical reflections from what he said.
First, then :
1. Man came into the world naked and
bare.
2. His progress through it is trouble and
care,
His exit from it none can tell where,
But if he does well here he'll be well
there.
3.
4.
AtOW,
I can say no mere, my brethren
dear.
Should I preach on this subject from this
time nto next year. Amen. Note

Ministerial Crisis in Canada Toronto,
March 12. The ministry was beaten last
night, by 48 votes to 44, on a motion for an
inquiry concerning Judge Duval's charge in
the Carigan murder case, lately tried in Que
bec. The Judge charged, it was alleged, that
none but those who struck the fatal blow were
guilty, and the prisoners were in consequence
acquitted. Carigan was an Orangeman, or a
Canadian Know-Nothing. The Ministry ask
ed the Parliament to-day to allow them till
Thursday to resign,' if they could not get the
vote reversed. The Hon. John A. McDon
ald, of Kingston, will likely be called upon
to form a ministry, if the present one is beat
en on Thursday. He will be supported by
some of the annexationists of 1849. He is a
liberal conservative. Governor Head is sad
ly perplexed. Everybody distracts every
body, and there is hardly a man or party in
Canada strongenough to form a government.
