Since that time, the period of holding the North Carolina Fair lias been changed to October; but as Mr. C. had already declined, and ns another gentleman ofour own State hes been selected in his stead, there is no reason to look for bis presence on that occasion.

Cass, tlio present able Secretary of j State lias recently undressed a despatch to Mr. Lamar, our Minister to the Government of Nicaragua and Costa Kica, which acts forth in a clear poiiit of view the truly American policy of the Administration, in protecting the honor and interests of the country in relation to foreign power*. The letter whs called forth by the condnet of Martinez and Mora the 1'resi dents of Nicaragua, nnd Costa Kiea, who in violation of nil international compact with the United States, had refused to sign a trcnty between the two Government*, in order to make an nrrangoinent with the French Minister, conferring certain privileges upon that Govern ment; and who had united in an appeal to the European powers, for protection against the United States, under the pretcncc that the Go i vernment had designs upon Nicaragua. Gen. Cnw, in his letter denies the statement i of Presidents Morn nnd Martinez, nnd instructs ( our Minister to demand suitable ropnrnt ion j for then? unworthy impulnt ions. He rebukes' that policy which looks to European interven- 1 tion in American nffairs, and declares that this | Government will steadily resist the establish- j mcnt of a political protectorate over any of I ho independent States of this continent, by any of ! the powers of Europe. With regard to the j rights of the Central American Stales over the I transit, routes ncross the Isthmus, lie asserts ' that they should be exercised in due cuhordinnlion to the interests of commerce, and the ' rights of other nations ; that the United States ! claim no control or exclusive use of these routes, ! nnd do not seek to interfere between the loe?l ; government and its contractor, but desire | merely to protect the grent interests involved, i nnd see that the}' ore open to the enjeytnenl of i all nations. In the spirit, of the following parngrnpha of | Lhc letter, will be found a guarantee that, the i rights of the American citizen abroad will lie iluly protected, and tlio honor of llie nation properly vindicated : The United States believe it to be their du- j ty?and they menn to execute it?to watch j uver the persona and property of their citizen * j visiting foreign countries, and to intervene for I their protection xvlien such net ion is justified j by existing circumstances and by the laws of nations. Whenever their citizens may go j through the habitable globe, when they encounter injustice they may appeal to the Govern- j ment of their country, and the appeal will be I examined into, with a view to such action on j their behalf as it may be proper to lake. It impossible to define in advance, and with pre- ! eision. those eases in which the national power may be exerted for their relief, or to what, ex ! tent relief shall bo afforded. Circumstances, ns t they arise, must prescribe the rule <>f action, j In countries where well-defined and established : laws are in operation, and where their administration is committed to able ami independent ! judges, cases will rarely occur where such in- J tcrvention will be necessary. But these elements of confidence and security are not every where found ; and where that is unfortunately Lhe case the United States are cal ed upon to he more vigilant in watching over their citizen*, j nnd to interpose efficiently for their protection when they are subjected to tortuous proceedings by the direct action of the Government, or bv its indisposition or inability to discharge its ! Juties. * This Government, however, yet indulges the I hope that a returning sense of justice may in- ' luce the Governments of Nicaragua and Costa llica to recognise their duties nnd afford redress . For the serious causes of complaint which the I United States have urged. But it is proper . ney iiuouia uoui distinctly understand that the i American people and Government liave yield- i id enough to the weakness of those Republic.-*, | ind, without duing them injustice, they will , low take care of and do justice to themselves. ' Preparatory to 6uch action as n>oy lie ne- j jessarv, a naval force will be stationed at San hian del Norte, and also at San Juan del Sur, \nd at Realejo, with orders to afford all neceslary protection to the persons and propertj' of American citizens; and the commanding officers will be directed to commnnifare with you; and j-on will not fuil to keep them advised up?n nil the subjects which may relate to the ex jcution of the duties thus entrusted to them. j The Militia System. . The following excellent and well timed sug- j jostion with regard to our present Militia j system, we extract from a late number of the j Columbia Guardian. The writer, it will be seen, ! Iocs not advocate the abolition of the present , >rgnnization, but only Mich a modification, ns ' tvill relieve it of its most onerous features?the frequent drilling in Company and General i Musters, which impose distasteful labors upon ' the citizens without any corresponding benefitr, ' The necessity of some change seems to be gen- | Brnlly conceded, and will no doubt be effected ' svet.tually: "There is considerable discussion just now ! in some sections of the Stnte. While we are | . v <? n<?inni)i un tins HtiDjcci. or indeed BnV I uther, we cannot Imt ttiink there is great need I fur reform. Our militia system has beon productive of good results; it lias raised some ! [{Ood officers rind w?-U disciplined men, lint it ' liriB some defeets which eliotild lie remedied. j The regimentnl musters in the variou* districts of our country ore oppressive and injurious, w ithout affording the slightest benefit, either to officer or soldier. There is no one that lieIieve8 any member of a beat company learns anything of military taclicts in three hours J muster on the old field. Men nre drnggt d from , their oecupations, spend money and return ! home jnded and tired. They have listened -to stump speeches, beard themselves praised as fine soldiers and nil that; they can make' a step with more precision, or go throughtbo manual any better than they did before they went on the field we do not believe. We would nol, however, abolish the system ?it is necessary as n basis of organization, and must be preserved in our section. But we would go for abolishing useless musters of the mass of the people who can learn,* nothing of military science at such gatherings.'"'' The beat* could preserve their organizations without frequently drilline. and so witb the hat.talwm o?.?1 I regiment, and we ventuie to say, when nny necessity nro?e for the assembling of the men, they would just be as well prepared as they are now. ' We are in favor of the volunteer system and of commutation tnx.on all liable to <1o military duty, who may be tfrdisposed to play soldier at all. A very moderate assessment would sustain with life find vigor a strong, well organized and efficient force. With the facilities of trarvel, and with the increasing population in most of our towns and villages, a State Volunteer force might be organized that would form the best nucleus of any army when necessity demanded. The past calls fi?r Volunteers from our State demonstrated that the respective uniform companies in our towns and cities were the rallying paint* for those who desired to serve the ir country,, ftfid solar as oar knowJedge -extends the Tnem&ers of> these companies were among the first to' tender their services to the Government.

The Scourge in New Orleans. The Louisiana Courier contains a comparat ive t statement of the daily number of deaths l?y yel- , low fever during the present epidemic term and "that of 1853. The whole number of deaths in 1853 up to the 1st of October, was 7800, and i during the present term up to the same period, they have numbered only 3164, showing the j present to be lfss tliHii one-half as fatal as th? previous visit of the epidemic. The figures f?>r this year, however, full short several hundred 1 from the true mortality, on account of the neglect to furnish the interments in the two Hebrew cemeteries. The /\,nris* mi-i !..? ued prevalence of the yellow fever is mainly i attributable to the constant influx of strangers j and tlie unacclimated, and warns all who arc j absent from the city to stay away until the ' epidemic has left.

The Mission to Spnin, after having been sue I cessivoly declined by Senators Mallory of FloriJ ; da, and Benjamin ofLouaiana, has beeniinally I accepted by Mr. Preston, wh# tfill probably relieve Mr. Dodge, during the copfing vinter. With regard to the oiiief subjects of diplomatic negotiation with Spain the Herald remarks, as follows: Our principal subjects for diplomatic treatment with Spain are the question of the cession of Cuba to us, and the settlement of numerous claims of our eitizens against the Spanish government. The latter may be said to be a consequent of the former, for there is not the slightest appearance of a chance oj their ever being liquidated except out of tfoy purchase money we may agree to pay for Cuba. This, /lien, is the question on which the work of our minister to Spain must turn. We have demonstrated recentlv. on neveml -- progress whatever can be made towards the I aoquisitiou of Cuba until Congress lias taken I some action upon it, and anou'need it officially as a part of the policy of the country. We mutt come ont openly and above board with the-anonncement that we look to the acqnisition of that Island as a measure necessary to the commercial development and military defence of the Union, and authorize t|^e President, to negotiate for it. Then our position in the question will have a weight, and command an inSncnce in Spain and throughout Eurofto to whieh it barftoyer before been entitled. Hitherto it ha* been looked upon only as*popular thing?one which it woujdite well to aeU;eve, abd whose achievement would conft!r henofupon any administration.

However, I sup- : pose (lie people of ('iiic-iniiiili, think their citv j one of the most cleanly places ill the west?as ' read the following extract from the special cor- j respondent of the Cincinnati 'J'imrx, written | from St. Louis, Mo., "1 should judge St. Louis j to be u badly govern'd city. Its streets are j wretchedly filthy?s11 -11 streets ill Cincinnati, i woilhl cause the creation of n scon; ofbonrds of I health." Surely these people have need to wish 1 that "some power would the gillie gic them, to j sell themselves as itheis see them." The Fair of the Ohio Mechanical Institute was open during my stay and afforded me plea' sant occupation for an hour or t wo. I had al. so an opportunity of inspecting the steam fire eturille. The horses be ivliieli it i- - kept. iii the snmo building, nml if I recollect j aright, were nil harnessed ready to be attach- | cil at u moments notice. Soon after leaving Cincinnati, we passed i some bi-autiful hedges, large 1'ndds of broom, j corn and vineyards of considerable extent. The! vines appeared to be planted verv closely togrt.her and attached to posts about six feet ! high. This State, ns well as Kentucky, is suffering 1 from a severe drought. Mitch of the corn j looked as if it. would not. make f> bushels an | acte. 1 was rather surprised to find the eoun- . try so very level?in some parts too mueli so j to be drained to advantage?the scenery uninteresting, llat, monotonous?the houses of the farmers, small, mean ediliees, of one or one and a half stories?affording no c\ ideliecs of wealth or refinement?their small towns made up of houses of the same sort?and the I hitch climate to prevail so extensively, judging l?v the mini, bet* of signs in this huurtiage. The land along the line of roads is said to be worth about S2.1 an acre, ami did not to my eye exhibit many signs of a very improved system of culture. Much of the northern part of the State is still heavily timbered with a thick undcrgrowil As tlie pine does nol. grow with them, tin* dried i wooil of t!ic maple, beech, hickory and oak is used on the locomotives. Uailrouds traverse thisState in all direction?. Tiie very little grading required, would account for this. Two improvements being introduced on this road at the present time, are worthy of notice. The one consists in connecting the ends of the rails together hy a piece o) scantling some three or four feet long, tightly screwed on the outside hy two bolts through each end of the rail. As only desperate portions of the road are finished in this way, it en- 1 nbles the traveller to test its ad vantages fully, j Instead of the rattling, jarring, jolting which lie ; has beeu experiencing for some miles nil t.i i once lie is sliding on smoothly, with no noise but the uniform roar of the wheels, which has heretofore burn disguised by other sounds. It is said that this improvement enables them to j make ten miles an hour with less wear of ma- ! chinery and certainly with greater comfort to ' the traveller. Take this in connection with the other improvement?the stepping car. This is such an arrangement that the comfortably cushioned seats of the day, arc converted into comfortable berths for the night, with curtain, blanket, and pillow ; and to prevent your being disturbed by the conductor, wishing to ex- I nininc your ticket*, they are held by a spring near your head. It is u private speculation i and in an additional charge. Cleveland is pleasantly situated on a high blntl", immediately on Lake Krie. The streets runiiiii|r towards the water, afford a unique and cheerful pro-poet of the lake extending to the horizon, as seen bet ween two rows of house-, with an occasional sail passing llippautly across the ninim of vision. The I.ake shore and Erie Hail Ro-ul alTord sonic preNy views of the lake as it skirts its shore for lhJl miles. lUiu-hing Buffalo in the evening. 1 went directly on by railroad to Nia gara, where I arrived about 7 1*. M. Here, as a matter of course, I expected that . my ears would be saluted with the thundering roar of the falls. I$nt 1 was doomed to disap- I pojntmcnt. 1 took up my quarters at the Inter I national Hotel not more than two or three hun- . died yards from them, ami still they were si- j lent. After supper I walked down and hud j my first view of the Comet! A great pent of Niagara are the guides an?l liackmcn. You cannot stir out, hut they are after you, and will not In; satisfied with a refusal, l?ut will follow you on pertinneiously, of- , fering their services. It is to say the least ofj it very vexations. One fellow etuek to me as | soon as I got out after cupper, liunded me Lis | or.rd and offered to take me round for $3 U0. wliicli lie paid wns below his usual charge. I told him I would ceo about it the next day. The next fellow offered to do it for $* !()(). 1 got rid of him the same way. 1 found out the next day to my sorrow Miut the competition was very hrisk and the offers very low. I was determined to see for myself and by myself, rather than have one of these fellows with mo. A guide book furnibhed all the information I needed, and i had no difficulty lit fiuding every thing tliut I wished to see. Now for it?what of Niagara f I must confess Mr. Editor that I could not get up my enthusiasm, Hot withstanding I tried it in different ways. I went abovo and looked down?I went down and looked up?I went under the water?I went above the water?I viewed it fioin a distance?I viewed it near. It was nil the same?fait a great fall of water. Niagara was henceforth to be remembered only as such, and to bo divested of the chann3 with which iny imaginings, founded upon the highly wrought descriptions of others, had clothed it. I should eharacterizejt ns a wild scene?the rapids above, where the river for threo fourths of a mile is white with foam, as the waturs dash from ruck to rock, sweep impetuously over every obstacle, and appearing to exult in the wild exuberance of unrestrained freedom, throw themselves over the beetling precipice into the seething caldron below ; from which they flow along the gloomy gorge, still restless And turbulent. To see Njagara aright. it should be at a far remove from the. ab'od^^ civilired man. How can the achievement* of n>t? or the refinsmsnts or civilization, harmonize with such a rough wild scene I AA?ay with yonder suspension bridge whioli so xracefnlly spans its gloomy gorge?aw^y with these magnifiaent edifices, withthese equipages and their ftafiionable occupants?they bill mock the scene.

The PERFORMING ELEPHANTS. Antony and Cleopatrn, are the same which, for months, created the greatest furore in London and Pari.*, white more recently their performances were the theme of universal admiration for months, at the Broadway Theatre, New York. Their wonderful docility and the perfection of their training, make them the most interesting specimens of the animal creation that the world has ever saw. All their faculties have been developed to the greatest extent, and thev stand forth sui ukneius. the most remarkable of their kind. They stand upon their heads, piny upon musical instruments ?ascend inclined planes, and ^o through all the operations of the most accomplished acrobats. In addit ion, llailey ?t Co.'s Cifcus and Menagerie comprises a splendid collection of WILD ANIMALS, including Lions, Tigers, Bears, Leopards, Hyenas, Panthers, Ostriches, ?fco , besides a larueand varied collection of the Monkev TriL? and a rare aviary of the most beautiful Tropical Birds.
