"Washington city furnishes the following interesting

Kansas ?Src.
" v The general feeling in his favor of Walker,
and tnany who do not consider lii? courae as
- , right in relation tb international law, yet
look upon the success of thw enterprise as in
<t accordance with "manifest destiny," and do
not condemn it. Gen. Walker fine been received
with much enthusiasm at roAny points
on Ins way from Now lork, and here a largo
usseinblage receives iiim with warm expressions
of sympathy and respect. . V* > . All

^ tajj^^^jyilkplace him and his men in the position in
which the}' were taken, but this would be
rather a degrading course, though perhaps
, fair. A queer state of things might occur
ehoold they do this, nnd the Iiritiiah refuse to
allow him to land. What then! It is nenerally
considered that the proceeding will be of
grout advantage to Walker in his future course.

The new6from Knnsns seems to be authentic,
that 0,001) votes bar's been taken mid llie Constitution
with the pro-slavery proviso lias been
ndopted by a large majority. There is no
doubt ubout the notion of the benate promptK
ly admitting Kansas, but that of the House is
considered doutfui. The best informed, liowever,
think the ease will be settled wiiLout further
dlflieultv. The Walker affair will probably
be a divortisement, and take off some of the
, steam. Some of the ultra extremists 6ay that
Com. Paulding ought to be shot.

"Wo make the following cxtract from tlio
Washington Correspondence of the Charleston
Courier :
Washington, E>ec. 29.?The filibuster ques'
t ion is before the Cabinet, nnd is likely to embarrass
them very much. Some of the members
are believed to be hostile to any strong
nnd decided measures for sustaining the President's
avowed policy on the subject. All the
members of the Administration unite in censuring
nnd denouncing the act of Commodore
? Paulding in sending home Wulker and hi? party.
It is not pretended that- Com. Paulding
bad any other instructions than to intercept.
Walker on the sea and to preVenl the lauding
of his reinforcements. Messrs. Brown, Thoinp- |
sou nnd Cobb nrc said to disapprove even of
these instructions.
Com. Paulding's despatches were brought
this morning by Capt. Engle, nnd aro before
the Cabinet for consideration.
I lenrned that Capt. Kngle explains that
the orders were considered sufficient to justify
the Commodore in breaking up Walker's expedition,
even after he bad landed. Walker oc- '
cupied a small point of land, whence he was to I
move for the purpose of invading the territory
otbtates Willi winch wc were at ponce, con- (
trnry to the neutrality laws, which the navy
was to enforce. This will, no doubt, he the explanation
on the part of Com. Paulding- 1
It appears certain that Com. l'unlding has
excceeded his instructions, an<l" it i6 probable
that he may be reprimanded for it. Com. Porter
wns brought to trial and and suspended
for his expedition against the pirates of Foxhnrdo,
though he Was in hot pursuit, of pirates
and had been sent out to breuk up their nets.
It is not supposed ihut the affair will lead to
the abrogation or modification of the neutrality
laws, as will bo proposed by Gen. Quitman (
. . of Mississippi. That measure is uot likely Co
prevail. Bnt still much fault may be found H
with the course of the Administration on the !
1 subject. ]
Walker assumes that helms violated no neu- ,
trnlit.y or other law of the Uuited Slates inliis
ret urn to Nicaragua, of which State he is a citizen,
and of which he desires to be th# legal
Executive. He demands redress and iudemnity
from the Government. He is of course loath

The scholastic year is divided into two terms,
the first to begin on the first school dav in Feb
ruary, and continue till the last school day in
June ; the second to begin on the 10th day of
July and end on the 10th day of November.
Expenses of tuition from $10 to^O; boarding
can be had from $10 to $12.
Bank Relief.
The Evening Kent, in view of the present
unfavorable condition of the market*, thinks
it the true policy of the planters to hold back
their crops ; and that to enable them to do so,
the Banks should furnish relief by a liberal
discount of accommodation notes:
Relief then can only be offered by liberal
diseotints of accommodation notes. This will
enable factors to advance to the planters, and
thus aid the planters to hold for higher prices.
now so important to the goner*! income and
resources of the country. The fall of cotton
under the revnlsion of the credit system, ranging
from Uoatty to over thirty Hollar* per bale,
has already caused a lo?s to the Honth of millions
of dollars. It is not the duty of the
Southern Banks to aid the agricultural interest
in * restoration of prices? So, also', by liberal
discounts aid may be given to other interests.
JJnless the Banks use every effort and bring
to bear every resource for home purposes, a
year of gloom must.hang like a pall over tho
country.

Wo pive below an extract from r.n account of
the recent Revolution in Mexico which r?sulted
in the overthrow of the new Constitution, and
the eettiblishment. of Commonfort as sole find
absolute Dictator.
Late intelligence by Telegraph, reports still
another Revolution, designed to overthrow
the Dictator*hip of Commonfort, and to rein
state the new Constitution. It. seems to have
originated with the Liberal party, who are
opposed Comonfort, because he would not go
far enough in his measure of reform ; to have
had its centre in the Capital, but. to have been
followed bv a similar movement at "Vera Crus:
The arrival of the steamship Tennessee at. N.
Orleans brines us dates from Vera Cru* to the
21st. instnnt. The Kcw Orleans Picayune of
Friday evening last, eoi.tains the following details:
The new constitution line been overturned
and done away with forever : the Federal Conn
eils have been broken np and dispersed : Coinonfort.
declared sole and absolute Dictator, with
power* to eall an extraordinary Congresa ; the
eapital is in arm*; and other prineipal cities,
including Vera Cruz, have pronounced.
Thin important event took plaeeon Thursday
morning, the 17th instant, and was aa sudden
as the movement was hold and daring. Everything
seems to have been planned l?y Comonfort,
and ex Governor Baer. carried his wi*h?* into
execution with a coolness and celerity that, only
has its parallel in the French coup d'dat of the
2d of Dec.
The only forewarning. indeed. tl?e Congress
or the people li.id of the contemplated overturn
was with mo?t. unexampled hardihood. given by
("Jov. Ba>t. himself, the day before. That day,
personally present, in tlie Chamber of Deputies,
he wdk made tlie object. of very severe criticism ;
and numerous charge* were made againsthim.?
So far, however, from deigning to reply to th?>m,
he rose in hie peat, anil after relinking the Congress
in general f prm, for their puerile course
from the opening the sessi -n, openly and
plainly told them tha<r that was the last day
they could ever meet, in those chambers; for
the* next they would be swept awnv.
None, however, seem to hare lwlieved him.
Btit tlie next morning, at six o'clock, the r?ar
of cannon in the heart of th? eitv showed it, was
no idle threat. Soon after ih<- brigade "Zuloaga,"
one of the mn?t trusted corps, conveniently
stationed at Tacnbnya, enme marching in
nd took possession of the citadel Garita and
other strongholds, amid salvos of artillery,
which proclaimed that a new order of things
had begun.
No resistence whatever seems to have been
maae ; mopoa. more was no time tor a<TTion on
the part nf the opposition. On the contrary,
the hell* of the city rane out, rockets were sent
up, and everything evinced Hie jov of the people.
The tumult, however, having somewhat
subsided. the following plan or proclamation
made it* appearance:
VEtlT LATKST FROM MP.3CTCO.
A private note, written on the morning ofthe
15th, two days after t*:e revolution at the capital.
and the latent possible, aays "everythinc
(roes on well hy which is flonbtless meant
that the city was quiet, and the dictatorship
fully established.
Onr advices from Vera Crue also, to the 21st.
nit., state that, the city was quiet. Aa to the
pronnnciamento there'and afruebia, they do
not differ materially from those of the capital.
It seems to have been a well concortcd more
ment. and probably was co-cxtensive with tlie
Republic. At Vera CriiE nnd Puehla, as doubtless
other point*, all that wa? neoessary was for
the. garrisons to quietly transfer their allepnnce
from a Government now no more, to a more altsolute
dictatorship. The new order of things,
however, seems to hare everywhere been favorably
received, especially at Vera Crtiz.

The Writings of Alex. B. Meek.
The following extracts we make from a
graceful tribute in the Mercttry to the genius
of Alexander B. Meek, one of the moat brilliant
Essayists, and popular prose writers of the
South. It is a beautiful specimen of critxism,
discriminating and genial, and prompted by
kindred genius and sensibility :

arc full of elo<|Uent things. They
breathe richly of Southern sentiment?they

for h fresh genuine, caper enthusiasm; they
are warm with generous impulses ; they tell
of many things worthy to hu known, which
cur people do not geuerally know. They unfold
histories rare interest, enshrined in .a

a series of enthusiastic oulgurbings of^ thought1*

The Arreai of General Walker.
From an able editorial of the Charleston
Newt, we extract the following remarks ehow- j
ing clearly that the arrest of General Walker,
was neither warranted by the Laws of Nation*
or of the Uuited States; was an outrage upon
the jurisdiction of Nicaragua, and in violation
of the right* of Walker and his follower*:
The neutrality law of 1818, which prohibited
armed expedition* from this country ai'tinal
a iy other people conld have no force beyond
ti.* J.-? .1? it.. j -
.? . V. ...c i iiim-u oiiic9, aiKl IUHI
jurisdiction lermiuates at. the line of the open
Ken. If i-ueh an expedition thereof, escape*
detection on our short*, mid it* parties elude
arrest within that line, they are no longer subject
to any interference ou the part, of the
government. When on the high seas they are
liee as nil others, unless they commit piracy
and coiisti;ute themselves as pirates. Under
no law, national or international, is nn expatriation
of the citizens of our country, hound
to another, with or without arms, ami sailing
quietly over the "highway of nations," an act
of piracy, or to be deemed to imply the intent
of piracy. To have captured the steamer
Fashion, en p<i$toxrjc with lieu. Walker and his
men, would not have been justifiable. Hut
how much lea* so his capture alter he had entered
the waters and jurisdiction of the Republic
of Nicaragua! lie had actually landed on
its soiL 11c was uti longer subject to eveu'the
laws of nations, much less of the United States.
There isin i.o treaty between this Kepuhlic and
- Nicaragua, authorizing our Government to
land an armed lorce on its soil, or to tire the
balls of its ships upon either forts, houses or
persons upou it. 'liie lir*t was done bv Com.
i'auldiug, aud tlieJatter threatened. llin conduct
in llioje regard# wa*, al-o, in clear violation
o! "our treaiy with Great liritain (the
Clayton liulwer.) which binds no to anguine no
juii.?d.ciioii over Central America. He, thus",
lias consummated un act, c.ilculutcd to involve
Ins Government with liotli Nicaragnn and
Great Britain. Would this country penuit
cither to twke such a liberty with, make such
an Hgcrcfcttion upon her jurisdiction) Walker I
bud become subject only to the law* and (jov- \
cruiiieut of Nicaragua; if he h.id beeu cantur
ed and punished l>\ its authorities, could our
Government liave iutetfered, even if he had
beeu a citizen .of tbc United States? Would
it have done so? Could we or did we interfere
to protect those who went with Lopez to
Cuba ?
But as to tlie personal nspeet of tlie ca?o.?
Walker irim not a citizen of the United State*.?
When from California, and under official invitation
from Nicharagna, he joined her forces
a^ninal her enemies, lie regularly expatriated
himself, and was naturalised l?y process of law

Hard Times, Causes, and Remedy.
In nil luimnn affairs there nro times of difficulty,
danger and distress, and wo are now in
the midst of one of these times; more of difficulty
than any positive distress. It is natural
to the constitution of man's mind for feelings
of despondency to take bold on .liitn, when
checked in nay way by adverse circumstances,
though brought aboutaiot by any positive
neccMity, but mostly by want.of-foresight
and ^mainatioo Into the law: of oause^Ssnd
I cflTeot. Feeling* of despondency arc certainly
among the first of human evils, from the fact
i despondency destroya the enjoyment of man}'
remaining comforts of life, that still are within
our grasp and if carried to uny extent pnralyt.-H
the otherwise reactive energies of our
nature. The must determined croaker may
' nee that mostly human evils, if rightfully looked
into, aud sensibly acted on, carry with tiiem
their attenduut good.
We will now look into the causes of distress,
eo much complained of hy all grades of societj*.
First a fat>t extravstance and a desire to overton
ill dl'ecs and <*<iiiitinir<. Ikj >. - .......1 J-.?...
.?.6.v?..ir|j.<npvrvadcil
all ranks of people iu tin? State, and
pvcii tin- daik raced clave from liis imitative
faoulli't*, follows the lat.li ion of his young master
; numy of them are fed and
clothed, equul to my Lady's maid or my
Lord's gentleman of the aristocrats of England;
fashions, ii Aueuce, hart extended to the slave,
and we often uieet him his cigar at. the
cost of two cents; tlii? too hel|m to make hard
time, among masters ; we had a petition from
one of our men the other any to keep a horce
tor him to ride a few milert to his wife*, house.
We often hen idividtial* complain of hardr-hip?,
that were formerly (and should now he,)
considered Decenary duties arifim; out of partieular
situations in the social condition of man.
Our daughter* are above work, (what we old
fogie* call woman's work,) very few of them
can work their own dresses. lialU, Parties
and frivolty fill up their time; crinoline and
canvass, are scarcely sufficient to expand the
young girl to the full circumference of her
ambition.
The vanity of the pnrent here stands out in
; bold reliel, as the main cruise of these extrava'
gant doings of tImir daughters. By the kind
I of education tlicy have given them, they are
unfitted to contribute bv their legitimate lahours,
to the benefit of themselves, or that of
the family of which they form a part. There
is iu the present mode of educating ijirls, no
training of industry to acquire, or system of
economy to preserve what has been acquired
by parents. They are never practically brought
to understand how the luxuries and comfort*
of their father's home have been acquired.
This bud management of girl* contributes to
l>ring hard tun.**, into many families, and often
involves the female part in what is worse than
poverty the lo*a of virtu*.
"Causing lovely woman to stoop to folly,
And find too late that men betray."
The hoys of the present da}- are from habits,
notions and education almopt. unfitted for the
plodding sober management of every day business,
thin too has no doubt in most cases originated
in the vanity of parents ; all our young
men hare almost become a part of a wheel'
machine. We rarely see a young may on horsehack.
Il it not fathionahte, this has had no
small share in bringing hard tiroes. To do
| nothing but play the gcutlcman, is the order
of the dav. It ia ?!><% nUI>?>< -??? -*
the business of the farm, or the counting lion?r.
or workshop; consequently they are brought
on tttte sto'pe of ^ctive life ; they know nothing
of the care, economy and management required
to take cure of and improve the legacy, left
them by parents, and toon every thing wastes
nw?v and hard time* u chargeable withi^e
wrong doing.
The long credit system is another prominent
cause of hard times. The facilities to go in
debt nre all around, and credits are as often
sold as things of necessity,, luxury or extravagance.
Year after yean, rolls on, the storekeeper
lets his accounts lie hack'ao long us he
can raise the wind to buy goods; when this
wears out then hard times come in, and distress
follows.
The long credit systei# is the fast railway
to extravagance,^folly and final ruin, and often
uie cause oi many a hard handed father realizing
the distre?se* of hard .times. Backs too,
are like the spider's rather dangerous to the
uninitiated and are no donlit, the cause of distress
in mnny quarters, as it is the principal
part of their busiqeM to manufacture hard
times, whenever it suits their interests to do io.
But. as we don't know tnueh" about them, ?
shall say hut little, as we a{r speaking to the
agriculturalists and artisans of the State, we
could enumerate many more causes, but this
would swell our communication to an undue
length. ? . ,

An Execution in Inma?Horrible Scenes ?
An India correspondent of the Loudon Times
gives the following irmjihio nnd horrible ac
count, of a puhlie execution of eighteen iusur
gents at Ahmednhad. October 2f?:
Ten of them mounted to their places on the
ilinii; u firing party of twelve moved ii|> tc
within twenty yards of the place where I stood,
facing outwards, ns the guns did, but behind
thi'tii, further hack into the ptjunre. The men
who were to lie shot were placed in front, not
more than twelve puce* from the muzzles of Mm
muskets. They knelt down, their eyes bandneed
and their hands tied.?Meanwhile five had
been marched to the five fatal guns. They were
bound hy their arms to the wheels, buttheir leg*
w ere free, and the end man. tho onlv one whom 1
could entirely see from my place on the flank,
leaned his l?;i<:k ngniust the muzzle. I fixed my

and ill a moiuent the signal was given. There wus
a r<mr, a bank of white smoke. mid a jet nii'l
shower > { tiluck fragments, sharp and clour,
which leaped mini hounded iii the air; this, and
a fearful pound from the spectator*, us if the
reality ho far exceeded all previous fancy that
it was intolerable; then a dead stillness.
1 walked to the scattered and smoking floor
before the gun*. I came first to an arm, torn
oft' above the elbow, the fist, clenched, the bono*
prot i tiding several inches, hare. Then ihe
mound ?own with t;*d irrisly fragments, then n
hlMckdiaired head and the other nrm still held
together. This was the man I had watched.
Clo-e by lay the tower half of the body of the
next, torn qQile in two, and long coils of entrails
twined on the ground. Then a long
cloth in whieh onei hnd been dressed rolled
open like a fluor cloth, and on fire. Due mull
lay in a complete atii shattered heap, nil bui
the arms; the legs were straddled wide apart,
and the smashed l>od\ oti the Middle of them;
the spine exposed ; thk head lay close by, too.
The last body was tha\ of a native oliicer. who
j wus the arch fiend of\he mutiny, lie wus a
! tdiort man, with a oruA face. His head had
| been cut clean off; his f\-e was half unturned.

body lay ou its face, the legj, as usual, not shatUri'tl
at all, the ttrsh torn tike cloth from n
sharp an^le in the hollow of\he hark, off and

1 turned to tlie three whv had been shot.
One liad been struck in tliel heart, and only
bowed slowly over on his fucj. The other* had
Imm'O pistoled alierwarda Ijrough the head.
All, 1 think however, hud belli badly hit, as all
were prostrate when I run folwarj to the gnus.
