bv Gener AI Hnrney wnsnviot utioti of iho principles'of; public law. They* Irowever, apprehend uo Berious miaUndcreiutiduig between llio two count ries. The London*Time* iAkes no editorial notice of thia ttew boundary dispute. The "London News savs: * fl<Hh Governor Donelas and General Harney hud retened the matter respectively to L*,ndou ami VVuuliiii|{tuii; and the question will now be treated quietly, and .with reason, as becomes tlia Governments of the two great divisions of tho race wliirh ppenks the Encliali language," The London Slur ihus concludes u long explanatory article on die 4 difficulty "Whatever view mav b? lakt>n nf Ilia lr?n?? <here-can be no doubt as to the.-aggressive and ?H{jastiflable conduct of Gen. Harney. lie actually paid a visit to Gov. Douglas at Victoria, the capital ol Vancouver's Islmnl, without opening his li|>* witli regard to hia ulterior design*; and he took forcible possesion of San Juan with out the production of any authority from his own Government, without any notice whatever to th Ilritiali authorities whom lie had just visited, and with the perfect knowledge that the island vraa admitted by hotli parlies to be disputed territory, and that England hail ceused to exercise exclusive sovereignty over it. We are not sure that the Governor, after having adopted this view of the question, and miido up his mind that the two Governments could alone settle the difficulty, acted wisely ill sending two ships of war mid a hodv of suppers nnd miners to the scene of Gen. Humpy's exploits, ra there whs, and perhaps is considerable danger from the close contiguity of such highly explosive materials. It is far better that the qnestion should remain untouched by the hands of subordinates. We, for our part, entertain a strong conviction that the American Government will not sanction the acts of Gen. Harney, so far as they have been aggressive. That person has been encased formally years past in milking war against the Indians, and he is probably nu> acquainted with the usages of civilized warfare. A hot-blooded Southerner, and notoriously identified with Cuban and Central American tillibusters, he would, we have no doubt, consider it a sufficient reason for the capture of San Juan that it was claimed by this Government, and that it would bo useful as a station lor preventing the inciir.-ious of the Northern Indiuns into Washington Territory. We believe that both tho Kurdish nnd ih? American Governments w ill have too mucli e<tod sense, and will be too tnucli nlive to the interests of tlicir respective countries, to allow this paltry nlFtiir to endanger tlio lriend.?liip which now happily snlisist' between them. We ?rc quite sure thut the people of England will not be xo unwise as to get nn pry or excited about it; anil we hope our brethren ncrocs the water will regard it wuli tlmt 'candid and dispassionate' spirit which one of their noblest writers, Wbh'iiugton Irving, enjoins as the duty of the members of a Republic al>ove all other men. If the , two Governments cannot airivc at a satisfactory understanding, then why. instead of allowing bad bluod to be generated, should they not refer 1 the question in dispute to the arbitration of a | friendly Power? Provision has already been made for this in the treaty which has reference to the Newfoundland fislierii-s, and if such a ' compact be expedient on tlie eastern shores of the continent, why should it not lie eqnully advantageous on the western ? One great good will, lie hupe, grow out of this quarrel. It is ' thai the boundary question, which has been the I cause of so many perils to the peace and lianpi- i liens of ths two nations, will now he lim?u?ln i" - - O"' ] a finnl ami everlasting settlement.' The London Globe says: < "The rluim n<lv;tnre<l by llic United States is n geographical question, nnd it is to be settled by the application of geographical science to the j terms of tlm Convention of 1H5IJ, which entah lislied the 49th parallel of north latitude as the ' lioundary between the territori s of the two I countries from the Kocky Mountains to the clian < nel which separates Vancouver's Island from the . continent, and thence through the middle of the channel and the Strait of Sail Juan de Fuca to the ocean. This is a question which turns upon facts, and upon the interpretation of a treaty . stipulation read by the I iglit of those facts. It was to ascertain the faela that Her Majesty's 1 Government appointed Cnpt. l'revost Cotnmis- t sioner, with the asxiMance of Capt. Richards us | second Coininifsiotier ; the instructions to those gentlemen were simply a repetition of the terms of the treaty." ' SENATOR CHESTNUTS SPEECH. . The New York Timet, in commenting on the growing conservative sentiment at the South, 1 makes the following observations : , M Senator Chesnut, of South Carolina, in n recent speech, of which we give extracts, has Also taken ground against any intervention <ff Con I gress on the subject, and also aguinst the power of the Territorial Legislature to act upon it He j insists that the whole suhiect nhmiM I.a i-ft .??

In common with ?I1 wiser and more influential public men who have spoken upon the subject at all, these < gentlemen all unite in denouncing the move- i ment for re-opening the slave trade, hr fatal in , policy and wrong in principle.

They could never have shown so much union and strength upon it aalhey did in 185C, but for the repeal of lh? Missouri Compromise, tlie crusade of fraud and violence against Kansas, and tlie brutal attack ' upon Mr. Sumner. Any o le of these acts was enough to arouse the indignation of any com- 1 nunity not utterly lost to self respect.

PROGRESS OF THE BLUE RUKJE RAILROAD. 0 The Walhalla Banner speaks as follows of the 1 work which has been done on this Bond. The 1 inception of this enterprise may have been unwise* I but we think that the abandonment of it. after e so much has been done, would be the consummation of folly, which we arc not yet prepared to believe that the good sense of the common. wealth will permit to come to pass: j " It appears to us that, while the subject of State aid to the Blue Ridge Railroad is being ably discussed through the papers of the State, i. and the comparative merits of this road and ihe French Broad are fully before the people, that it is a pari of our duty to inform those interested, of the great progress which has nrleady been made in the construction of the Blue Bridge, and >, which will, in all probability, be a total loss, if , the road is not completed. ' " Every one knows that fourteen miles, from Anderson to Pendleton, are now complete and in active operation ; of this we need say nolhi ing more. From Pendleton to Walhalla, a disI tance of twenty miles, the road is nearly all .graded; the bridge ut Seneca River has the buttress and piers up, the smaller bridges and cul> verts are very nigh completion?in a word, the grading is done. To the tunnel through Stump Ifoure Mountain, six or seven miles, the heavy work is made or being done now. Mr. Sharpe, ' Mr. Lawrence and others, who have heavy , contracts, Bre still digging and progressing well. We comn to lli? litmn.1 r ?i-- ' _ ?? luui tiiK hi in ih great work are done. From tho tunnel to Gcor gia line the grading is mostly done. In Georgia, ' it is surprising to see the amount of work which - has been done. One can easily ruu the line of >. the railroad from tho cuts, (ills, culverts and grading wliic't ever and anon present themselves in view of the public rond. Dick's Creek tunnel, in Itiihun county, measures 1,900 feet, more or less, of which some five hundred or morn have been excavated; Saddle Gap tunnel is nearly half done, and no the grading in Georgia is nearly complete. From Anderson to the North * Carolinu line, by the railroad route, is aliout i ninety miles, which lacks a fraction of being half the whole length, (195 miles,) the Jilue ltidge Railroad. When, then, we consider that half this road is already done or partly so wo mny form some estimate of tho necessity of 'us com pleliou. Aliout three millions of dollars have already been expanded, and is it u wise policy to give it over as a loss, when it could be secured * by expending a little more? Willi a hundred or * two thousand dollars the road may be brought to this place, and when this is done, it will not only defray expenses, but assist in paying the anuual interest on the bonds of the company." ' EXCITING NEWS. A correspondent of tho Leavenworth Time*, writing from the great Santa Fe Road Beach Valley, thus alludes to Indian hostilities in that vicinitv : " There have been several companies of troops stationed some 23 miles west of this place for the past six or eight months. While there, llio Camnuchcs and Kiotvas have appeared very friendly, and profeesed inuch friendship, but only to blind the eyes of Uucle 8am, for within two days ufter the troops left, the Cnninnches violated their professed friendship by an attack on ' what is known as the Allison Hunch. They did not succeed. Several shots were fireJ by tlie Indians, who, not dating to enter the cabin, withdrew, threat' ening to clear them out in the morning. Fortunately the troops hud not got out of hailing distance, having cncainped at this place for a ftw d.iya- A dispatch was immediately sent from Walnut Creek, which arrived here al-out midnight. Two companies left for the scat of war, arriving at Walnut Creek early in the , morning. They succeeded in capturing a Comanche chief, called Buffalo Iluiup. The chief not exactly liking bis quarters attempted to escape, and in recapturing him, 'the soldiers , were obliged to shoot him, which they did, after firing several times over his head. This may lend to an extermination of the Coiuuncht-s, providing Uncle Sam has force enough to effect it. 1 am informed thai there are encamped near Walnut Creek some twenty-five hundred of the Caniauches, and only about three hundred of the troops. Another dispatch arrived here About 12 o'clock yesterday for the balance of the troops, who left immediately for Walnut Creek to join the two compauies which left the nitrht nrevi ou*. The Comanches arc encamped about 10 miles from Allison Hunch. The troops have made uo ntlnck as yet. I cannot learn why th?*y do uot; they ure preparing to -do so, I think. Another Palmetto Gone?James Mngwood Alexander Henderson, a Printer, and one of the Charleston Company in the Mexican war, departed ihi*> life, in Charleston, on the 21.-inst. He was well known and appreciated throughout this Stale, and Western North Caro? lino, for his manly qualities of head and heart; he leaves a wife and twosinall children to mourn his untimely end. To us he was endeared by the common tie of consanguinity (the sumo mother) bo we may be'excused from doing more than p?y a passing tribute of the pen, while i the heart bleeds afresh. He was a native of the , city of Charleston, and SO years of nge. While the ever-greens of the First Presbyterian Church yard breathes his requiem, the followiug touching and appropriate lines of the poet come clustering to our memory: i " So sleep the brave who sink to rest, With all their cuui^iry'a honors blest; When Spring, witlrdewy lingers cold, Returns to deck the hallowed mould, He there shall find a sweeter sod, Thau liia tired feet have ever trod. Thera Honor comes, a pilgiim gray. To deck the mould thai wrap* their clay, And Freedom for a while repair To dwell a weeping hermit there " The Rennetsville Son of Temperance says: * One bj* one the brave men of the Palmetto Regiment are passing awav. Soon the Itoll of Honor will have dwindled down to a Corporal's (iuard. We have now to perform ihe melancholy duty of chronicling the death of Mr: Jamta M. A. Henderson, of Charleston. We saw him at Hock Hill the lust of July, working at the cone, and apparently iu bis unual health. ? Indian Land Chronicle. Another Palmetto Gone.?Col. Hugh Miller, of Fairfield, died at Winnsboro, on Tuesday last.
