Tho yard was then examin ed, then tho house, and everybody being well satisfied that ho had escaped, tho neighbors dispersed to their several homes, but I was appointed a sentinel for the ivs.t of tho night, and ordered not to go to sleep on my post, under tho penalty of a flogging.

If it bo aid by way or justification for such ncls us tho one spoken of below, that tho people in thu Slave States lire in constant uneasi ness because of their slaics however peace able nnd contented they seem to ho and that any suspicion of an attempt to stir thoiu up to insuircetion must of necessity excito tho whites, and rompt them to do, on the spur of tho moment, w hat their cooler judgments would di-approvo of, it is sufficient to reply, in thu first place, that any community w hich is cursed with a system in its midst which they daro not havo talked about openly, will do well to set itself resolutely tu work tn get rid of it as fast ns possiblo ; and in tho second, that so much tho moro is tliero good reason why cicry loier of his country and his fellow men should exert himself to present its being extended beyond its present bounds. Tho Cmnmnnwrallh, (a newspaper pub lished in Canton, Miss.) in itsissuo of March 22' I, with great complacency giies an account of tho tarring and feathering of one Charles Whecloek. an industrious mechanic and of his being ordered to le.ne tho neighborhood " before sundown of tho next day. lie there upon (continues tho editor) demanded a specification of tho charges upon which he had been found guilty ; and tho saino wero stated by the leader of the ;iour to be ns fol lows, to wit I'ir.il, That ho had been hoard ing with I'olodoro llrickell, a free negro, con trary to Southern notions of decency and jn-.iprii ty ; Sinin,, That he bad beeii'lound in Ir'qtunt communication with slaves, without warrant t , law, and ti tho great in jury of their morals; Third, That Ii" had been b ith secretly and openly endeaioring to propog i'o abolition sentiments, contrary to the st.it'ite in such case mide and prod led ; Fotirt'i, That ho was a nuismco generally, an eyo-sore to tho community and a stench in too public nostril, and that the general sentiment of Canton demanded his removal." After commending tho young men of Can ton w ho wero tho actors in this outrage " as entitled to tho gratitudo of every good citi. z.'n," tho liditnr go?s on to sttto that ' he, Whc lock, is from Now England, and his tho wor.-t characteristic of it worst populition the i'uritan and theblaekleg being hi admi rably d.netail"d tint it is difficult to say which cl is ho belongs to."

Tho do tailed accounts of tl.o defeat of a portion of Walker's forces, all conio from Cosla Kicnn sources, and quite likely nio much exaggera ted. I'robably all it will besafo to assume at present, is that tho Filibusters havo met w ith a rcierso of somo sort, over which tho Costa liicans arc malting great glorifications. Tho news of tho defeat of Walker's troops under Sohlcssinger, was brought to I'anama by tho Dutch etcnincr Kmilie, from San Jose. According to the accounts In tho Costa Itica JMctm, Cd. S., with dOO men, was well forti fied at the hacienda Stnla ltosi, where ho was attacked March 20, by a party of J00 Cosla T.icans, under (len. Mora.nnd entirely defeat ed. Ninetieii prisoners wero courtmartinled and shot by the Costa liicans, chiefly Irish and (j'ermans. Tho accounts say that Walker's party wero surprised, the Costa liicans, after firing ono volley, leaping tho walls, and, with knifo and bayonet, cutting down all they en countered, and dispersing cr taking prisoners tho remainder. Tho Costa lticutis had 10 killed and 25 wounded. An express, arrived nt Tutita Arenas, states that '.'0 of Walker's men wero found dead, and it was supposed others perished in tho woods. (en. Mora, in his dispatch to tho Minister of War, states that tho attack lasted but fourteen minutes, when tho fillibusters broke and lied, terrified, to the woods, closely fol io :,-cl by tho Costa liicans. Tho field was strewed with dead. Among the Costa liicans six ofiiecrs wero killed. l'reiioiis accounts stated that Costa Iiica was in great excitement, nnd the war popular with all classes. Many foreign residents had tendered their services to the goi eminent. A levy of 9000 men had been ordered, and a loan uf .9100,000. i'unta Arenas was full of troops, under Iliron llrulow. Tho principal army, 3000 strong, under (.Jencral Mora, was inarching upon Nicaragua, and would cross tho fron tier in eight days. I'l'iv.Uo letters state that at last accounts Uen. Mora had embarked for I'unta Arenas. Tho cholera and fever wero making great ravages in N'icir.igua among tho natives and Walker's) army. S nno of Walker's people had taken tho English mail from (Jrcytown for t'o.sta Kic.i. Mos-sti.r STLASituit's. Iho new Collins Steamship, the -l'nnn, which was success fully Munched at Now York list week, and which is expected to exalt still higher tho famo of American ship builders, is said to bo the largest steamer in tho world. Tho only vessel that at present approaches her in sire is tho Tcrsia. Sho is 300 feet in length, 50 feet breadth of beam, 33 feet in depth, nnd 4200 tuns measurement. Her hull is divi ded by seven water tight bulk-head". Her cntir-i cost will probably bo not fir from a million uf dollars.

Sticinu. I ho dead body of a young Irish man, named John McMann, was found this morning by tho road-ido near Mr. I'.li,-ha Huston's, on tho Shelburno road, about three miles south of this ullage, A pistol in his hand, and a wound under his right ear, half of which was shot away, showed that ho camo to his death by his own hand. It appeared from tho ciidcnco before tho Coronci's Jury, that ho had worked for Mr. Tlisha Itarstow, for six or eight weeks pre vious to March 27th, sineo which timo ho had been looking for work, in this Stato nnd New York, without success. Tho report of tho pistol was heard by the neighbors about half past nino o'clock list evening. No money was round upon him, and his solo pro perty appeared to bo the clothing upon his body, the pistol (a small single barrelled one,) and a few percussion caps. Do was unmar ried, and botween 2., and 30 years of age, The jury brought in a verdict of self-murder in accordance with tho facts The Cooi.tr. Tumi:. A writer in the New York Times, who evidently has an interest in tho transport of Chinese, coolies, defends tho business'as perfectly legitiiinte.honorable nnd humane. Ho admits tl nt tho conlio emigrants may havo sull'ered. as do emigrants from Eu rope to tho I'nited States, by tho cupidity of shipmasters, but denies that thero is any re semblance botween this bu-iness and tho slave trade. Thu coolies are hired laborers, with whom a formal contract is made and signed in presence of the consul of tho conn try to which tho laborers are destined. It is stated that Dr. T.irker, tho missionary nm bassadnr to China, declared tho coolio emi gration a great blessing to tho Chinese. Theso laborers, sineo tho breaking up of tho African slavo trade, are taken to I'eru, Brazil, Cuba tho Sandwich Islands and the guano Islands, in great number", and are considered a icrv dosirtblo class of lalsirers.
