A KJV -WHBEL1XG, VAr SATURDAY MORNIDG, MARCH 1, 1856. SZ^b^UTHEU. STATUS. For some days past, we have been publishing extracts from the English journals showing the. ? Tiew, taken by them of the questions of disa greement existing between the two government, fnd giving a lair sample of the war feeUng prev alent in England. Some of these armies are fiercely arrogant, and very obnoxious to the \mericari reader. While we believe there ex " jsts a -strong probability of a ? ? not of those who desire to see it, and the disa? ? ttow. events accompanying it; but, ? toire peace, we prefer war rather than ha e our government submit to condition* adverse to a maintenance of honor and dignity, u the eye of our people, and of other government.The tone of the English Press, is well ca cnlated to stir- up the wor*t passions of the English people and hasten a calamity which they pretend to desirous to avert; while not a single citizen o this country will feel the least intimidation at their rounded periods and threatening words. The Americans, themselves, are great talkers, and it will require something more than mere words, however high-sounding, to drive them fro? a maintenance of principles handed down from the earliest periods of our government, rod instilled into their minds m boyhood. . We see nothing in the threats toburn our sea board cities, from one end of ?,e Union to he other- to sink our navy by a single broad-side ?and the possession of the lakes by an English dwt. It f?unds ?o more terrible now, than dtd ib 1812 ; and ejf?4hen, hampered with our swaddling cloths/?bout'pur loins, it was found much less difficult to write them on paper, than . Sv. in fa~t The British Press to execute Ihem in ta x seem to forget the experiences of 131- ; they entirely look over the lessons of the Mexican war. Comparatively, we have no Navy at this time to sink ; no Army to be annihilated . but let war be declared, and a new scene will pres ent itself. The magic of American ingenuity will place ships, bristling with canon, in every to annoy the commerce of our enemj% and to protect our own; and soldiers, armed and equipped far the strife, will spring from the womb of our nation, till their numbers will de ter the haughty Briton from placing a foot upon our soil. America is not a nation to be whip ped. Her people have too much to fight for, her institutions are too dear to every heart, to yield to soldiers dispirited by the abjectness of their position, and without love for the C'^'ernm"" that hunger forces them to serve, peace and abhor war, but if war must come, Ut it come quickly. We want a foe worthy of being the antagonist of the American people. THE banks.

Bank of Kanatehr. Charter extenaed fourteen year*.?Richmond Bitpatch. Mr. Bcciianan's Dispatches.?The dispatch es received from Mr. Buchanan by the last steam er are said to be unimportant except as showing that all the questions relating to American af fairs remained unchanged. The improbable rumor of a personal flare up between Mr. Bu chanan and Lord Clarendon is not alluded to in his letters, and are therefore assumed to be un founded. Ak confirmation of the fact that no new diffi culty had arisen between our Minister and the British Minister, we may quote the following extract from a letter from an American merchant now in England: "I felt more than usually anxious to go back with the Atlantic that takes this. 1 had an in terview with her commander, Capt. West, who was in London on Saturday. I met him at the Embassy of Mr. Buchanan," the American Minis ter, where I went to consult about the new em bmjlio between England and the States. He relieved my mind of tho fear I had begun to entertain that war might ensue between the two countries and led me to hope that after a little nv>re bhuter, all would be settled amicably." Arrest or Ai.leoed Mail Robbers at Cum berland.?We learn that at the instance of Col. James L. Maguire, the efficient United States special mail agent, two men named George New ell Mias Anneville, and Floyd Dowden, were ar rested at Cumberland, Mil, on Tuesday, by the Deputy Marshal for that town, on the charge of committing depredations on the mails passing through the Cumberland Post office. Small Pox.?This disease has disappeared in Richmoud county?the last patient having been discharged from Franham Church, which had been converted into a hospital. The whole num berof cases in the county is stated at 125,deaths w2?7 white?, 8 negro men, slaves, and 12 free negroes, mostly children. The disease is report ed to exist in Caroline, but to a limited extent. gy A day or two since, a lady while walking ob broadway, New York, had an elegant dress ruined by vitriol being thrown upon it. On Wednesday-sight, another lady in company with h?r hnUband, had her dress destroyed by vitriol. yj^During the present session of the Alabama legislature, says the Selma Sentinel, there have been aSdut 100 cases of divore granted. During the last session of the same body there was about the same number granted. National Cocktesies.?The Norfolk Argus notices with pleasure the fact that the -British shipping in the harbor of Norfolk, decorated tiuir masts with flag* on the 22d, -in honor of the national anniversary. The British ship Vic toria, Capt Wallace, in particular, presented a handsome appearance. JSTThe average amount paid the Methodist pr???herr in Indiana last year was 4321. British Rkcbi itist. is the United States.? The Washington Union approves of the Senate resolution calling for the correspondence, and ho-" pes that the President will deem it compatible with the public interest to answer the call.? With regard to Lord Clarendon's assertion that a sufficient apology had already been ottered to this country the Union says: We venture to say? and we do not say it lightly?that Lord Clarendon's statement in the House of Lords is substantially incorrect, and we shall be greatly disappointed if this is not the judgment of both countries when the docu ments shall be made public. It has been said that an apology has been ten dered by England to the United States for the wrong done to their laws and sovereign rights and that our government has refused to accept it, and an effortis made by the organs of the British ministry to impress the English people with the belief that President Pierce's adminis tration is unreasonable; but, from what we have heanl of the correspondence, we venture to as sure our readers that the facts therein contained will expose this stratagem, and prove to the sat isfaction of every candid man that no such apol ogy has been made. J The documents will enable the people of the United States to judge of the meiits of the case, and of the grounds on which Lord Clarendon's accuracy is impeached. It we are not much mistaken as to the disclosures which will be made by the documents, it will be found that our laws and territorial rights have been openly violated by British officials, within our jurisdiction, and not only has no offer of satisfaction, or even ac knowledgment of an error, been made, but acts most manifestly in violation of our law are de fended and justified. For exercising the privi I lege of complaining, and respectfully suggesting ? that we are entitled to some redress for a fatal blow struck at our sovereignty, we are threaten ed by the organs of the British Ministry with the visit of the British fleet to burn our cities, devastate our coasts, and kindle the flame of a ' servile war. To make this bluster a little more redoubtable, we are. told that: the French fleet is to take parts in this pleasent pastime. With France our relations arpf-fis all the world knows, , on the footing of cordiality and friendship; and [ it Is believed that there is a mutual desire that they should so remain. It is not, therefore, very probable that the Emperor of the French .will accommodate his ally with his fleet for such an I enterprise. * jcS?~rt"c have just seen two hew notes of the ? State Bank of Ohio, which tve think very beauti ! ful specimens of hank note engraving, both in i design and execution. They are a two and a twenty dollar note, a new plate of which, we un der.- 1, the Board of Control has just had en graved by Draper, Welsh & Co., Philadelphia. The vignette of the two dollar note represents a prominent interest of the State. It shows a : Canal boat passing a lock. The tired horses have halted, and the driver is seated at rest, in his saddle in conversation with a man who leans upon the horse. The other horse is started by a locomotive and train passing a viaduct a short distance ahead. The design is truthful, spirited and finely executed. On the upper left hand corner is a capital likeness of Daniel Webster.? As an additional protection against alteration, the denomination "two" is engraved infaintlincs, in a bold, upward sweep over the space for the signatures. On the twenty dollar note, the pioneer domes tic industry of the State is represented at the up per left hand corner by a landscape, in which a female is seated at her spinning wheel, on the ground near by sheep are quietly sleeping, while in the distance the steamboat, emblem of our present prosperity, ploughs her way through the waters. At the lower left hand corner is a fine portrait of Henry Clay, engraved expressly for this note from an authentic and popular like ness. These notes are embellished and protected by a new style of lathe work, both on the face and back, the back plate being made up of a rich display oflathe and medallion work; and no effort appears to have been spared by the engraves to insure security against counterfeiters, and it is very much to the crodit of this house, notwith standing it is now nearly five yearssince the new notes of the State Bank of Ohio were put in cir culation, no attempt to counterfeit them has ever come to light. To enable the public to deter mine at once which notes of the State Bank have never been counterfeited, it is but necessary to remember that in all the old plates the name of the branch is written, whilst in the new ones it is engraved.?O. S. Journal. Howtfiey Lectckf. is Paris.?items. J. J. Arapcr, of the French Academy, auhtor of the book called 'Promenades cn Amerique,' is one of the lecturers at the College of France. A letter says: "At his lectures M. Ampere site (as do all the professors) in a large arm chair, with a table be fore him, on which he invariably leans both his elbows, while his hands arc alternately clenched and unclenched just in advance of his chair, as he see-saws awkwardly from side to side, and each is employed in its turn for the execution of a gesture as monotonous and ungraccful as the speaker's style of deliver}'. It is the substance of his lectures which draws large and interested audiencies?composed largely of ladies who oc cupy priviledged enclosure around the speak er's chair. The elite of Parisian intelligence and taste is often to be met there." Col. Fkemont?and his Mariposas.?We learn from Washington, that the President signed with his own hand the patent confirming Colonel Fre mont's title to this great Mariposas claim in Cali fornia. This nice little estate contains upwards of seventy square miles, situated about two hundred and iifty miles easterly from San Fran cisco. Messrs. Palmer, Cook, itc., the California bankers, own one undivided half of the tract, and Colonel J. C. Fremont the other, which, many persons believe, makes him the richest man in the world. Co!. Fremont bought this immense gold region in 164ti, for the sum of $3,000, and was laughed at for the recklessness of his investment. It has already yielded some thirty-five millions of dol lars, and its resources, both mineral and agricul tural, are said to be inexhaustible. Col. Fre mont is a phenomenal man, in character, adven ture and fortune.?JYiiff York Mirror. Ax Ijtmessb Boiler.?One of the large boilers ; intended for the Government steam frigate now building at Norfolk, has been brought down from the works of Messrs. Anderson, Delaney &. Co:, and deposited in rear of Talbott's foundry, Cary street, for shipment It is a collossal affair.? The boiler is about 20 feet square, weighs 22 tons with out the flues. There will be 310 6f these 2 inches in diameter. Each _steam frigate is to have -i of those boilers, niadtrof the best seven eights inch iron plate, and secured by double rows of iron rivets. The boiler in question was brought from the Tredegar Iron works on a truck constructed for the purpose, hauled along by 20 mules.?Richmond Dispatch. {^"The Missouri river, opposite Boonville, has been measured and found }o be 2,239 feet wide, or four hundred and one feet less than half a mile. The ice in the channel is eighteen inches thick and in other places near three feet thick. It has been frozen over since the 25th Decem ber. Valuable 1nvk>-tios rok Printers.?Mr. Wirt Trimble, of Georgetown, D. C. has invented a composition for printers' rollers, which will be unaffected by temperature?not made too soft by summer heat nor too hard by winter's cold? besides being more tenacious and durable. A Virginia Postmaster has been inquiring of the department the meaning of the little "pictur es stuck on the letter," and another official in Io wa desired the department to sustain him in a decision he had recently made against a "fellow" who insisted that "them pictures of Washington 00 the letters, puid the postage. Croup.?A pieco of fresh lard as largo as a butternut, rubbed up with sugar, in tho same way that butter and sugar are prepared for the dressing of puddings, divided in three parts, and given at intervals of twenty minutes, wiU relisve any. case of croup riot allowed to the fatal point?fvr. A". 1". Etc. Poet. Fkesch Spoliations.?In the U. S. Senate, on , Tuesday, the President laid before that body a communication from the Department of State, ' maile'in compliance with a resolution of the Sen ate of the 17th ult, calling for a copy of the re port the adjudications made by the Board of American Commissioners at pans to liquidate [ and audit the claims of American citizens, for the satisfaction of which provision was made by the convention between the United States and France of April 30, 1808, 4c., and what has be come of the evidence and proofs of loss so called . for and received by the Government. The Secretary of State replied, in effect, "that no report like that called for by the resolution j | can be found in the Department or any trace i I tliat such report was ever made or filed there. ! On the contrary, it is inferred from the letter of Mr. Fulwer Skipwith to Mr. Madisjn that in 1 point of fact there never was* any report of the 1 character referred to. It appears from the in structions of this Department to the Ministers of the United States at Paris, and from reports I which have already been communicated to the Senate by his predecessors, that the proof in the cases of claims on France were from time to time transmitted those Ministers. The efficiency or inefficiency of the aid alleged to have" been proffered by this Government for their recover}- is believed to be too much a mat ter of public notoriety to require either the ex pression of an opinion or the statement of a fact by the Department of State on the subject? From the transmission to the Legation of the United States at Paris of the proofc in cases of claims, it might be presumed that the claimants accepted the overture which is referred to. No evidence of its wiihdrawnl or modification can be found in the Department, or any precise in formation as to where proofs in the several cases of claim may he lodged. The letter alluded to by the Secretary of Stntc is from Mr. Fulwer Skipwith, United States consul and agent for claims at Parts, to Mr. Madison, and dated Sep tember, 1805. Mckdek os the Hion Skas.? The Murderer Shot in the lii'jglni'j.?One of the most singular incMents connected w ith the annals of crime oc curred on the last voyage of the ship Owen Wil liams, from the African coast to Liverpool. It appears that a few days before her arrival, one of the hands, John Simmonds, a Manilla boy, had been guilty of some act of insubordination or theft, and to escape piinisment lie took to the rigging, carrying with him a marlin spike. He was summoned to descend, and on refusing to do so, a seaman was sent after him. After chas ing him about the yards and shrouds for some time, he was on the point of effecting his capture, when the lail turned sharply round and struck him a violent blow on the head. The man fell upon the deck a corpse. The young ruffian was again summoned to surrender himself, but he persisted in maintaining his elevated position, where he remained the whole of the night. On the following morning several blank catridgcs were fired at him, to intimidate him into descend ing, but these not having the desired effect, a loaded pistol was fired, and the ball taking effect, the lad came a tumbling down the rigging. The wound caused by the shot was not of serious moment, but in the fall his collarbone was brok en, and he sustained several severe contusions. On the vessel's arrival in Liverpool he was con veyed to the Northern Hospital, where he will remain until sufficiently recovered to be handed over to the police authorities. ? <>???. The Latk Jeremiah Mason.?Mr. Mason sel dom wasted words on anything. When the Methodist elder waited on him during the fa mous trial of Kphriain K. Avery, for the alleged murder of Maria Cornell, and announced to him in oracular language that the Angel Gabriel had appeared to him the night previous, and as sured him that 'brother Avery was innocent'? 'Let hira be summoned,' was his instant reply, without abating attention to his work, or rais ing his eyes a second time from the table. The Lite Judge Smith, of New Hampshire, was a man of infinite humor, and nothing ap peared to please hira more than to crack a joke with Mr. Mason, who was his contemporary at the bar. One day -Mr. Mason was engaged in defending a man by the name of Smith, for horse stealing. At dinner the Judge, addressing Mr. Mason across the table, says, 'Well, Mi*. Mason arc you going to get your client off?"?"Can't tell," says Mason; "could if it wasn't for his cur sed name?"?Boston Trans.

At Cock tail's the other night, we found no less than thir teen married men, who spent six eveningsa week in squirting tobacco juice ou a stove. We thought we would find Qut who they were. On inquir ing, learned that eleven of them were blessed with wives who 'jaw' from Monday morning till Saturday night, while the other two wedded a couple of she missionaries?Indies so constantly engaged in the welfare of Central Africa, that they have no time to keep their husbandr'shirts whole. A Female Miser.?An old lady in Newton, N*. H., lately whose property, accumulated through her miserly propensities, was worth (ac cordifig to apprasal) $78,419 47?about half of the sum she was estimated to be possessed of. To show on what an extensive scale were some of her household arrangements, she had 182 sheets, 63 coverlids, 50 blankets, 27 beds with 1,200 pounds of feathers 54 table covers and 43 hadkerchiefs, while the whole amount of her wearing apparel did not exceed $10 in value.

The courtesies and dipping in the gilded draw ing room where Jonathan said that must have raised all the dust in the carpet. Illinois Whiskv for France.?Anew avenue of trade is opened within the last week. Mes srs. Bradley Co., and Gregg & Co., have ship ped a thousand barrels of whisky, destined for France. The demand is caused by the late edict of the French Emperor, forbidding the distilla tion of grain.

Jute is an Indian grass, extensively importe-i into that country for the purpose of being made into "bagging" for American cotton.

"Truth stranger than Fiction." LET THE AFFLICTED HEAR THE TESTIMONY OF A I.AVY. those who have the pleasure of knowing her, we need X say nothing, but to others we remark that a desire to l?encfit the suffering Induces her thus to apeak. None can ap preciate her joy and gratitude in being relieved from pain, after years of suffering unparralled, but those (if there be any) who hare suffered like her. Miss 5. has long been a resident of this city?for the last S years has been successfully conducting a school at No. Gtto Baltimore street. The happv change in lit r health is a subject of astonishment and joy tofcer numerous friends. We ask those interested to call on her. She will tell them more of her cure by Hampton's Tincture, than she has written. Thus it is that this remedy goes on giving relief to the sick. We refer the public tofthem. From more distant places we also hear of the same happy result. These facta, with the con current testimony of thousands, chnuM cause skepticism and prejudice to hide their head9 and concede that Hampton's Tincture is a wonderful discovery. Baltimohe, Oct. 18, *i3. Messrs. Mortimer Jtoirbray: Gbxt*?t have delayed entirely too Jong In writing to you In relatiou to the virtues of Hampton's Tinc ture. I fear, even now. that I cannot give the afflicted world a just idea of the good 1 have derived from its use; the ben efits have been so great that I feel inadequate to the task. 1 was attached witli the chronic riieuinfttish in its most malig nant form, at the early age of two and a half years, and con tinued to be so afflicted until I crossed the Atlantic Ocean on my way to America, at which time it changed its form into a gathering. I had at this time attained my growth, and never expected to be well again, as the disease came, in the first place, of mv being vaccinate from a child who had a white swelling. When my gathering first broke it did not discharge less than oue quart, and continued to trouble me every time I took cold or was in the least fatigued; my bodily strength was reduced to the weakness of infancy. 1 was several times very near the grave; my hip joint had been out of place ever since the fir?t attack. At the age of thirteen my hands be came dislocated. These sufferings, and the general debillity I felt from the constant discharge of my gatherings caused me often to thiek that I should never be permitted to know how it felt to be free from pain aud suffering, even for one hour, until my body should bee hanged, and become like unto "Christ's glorious body," at least, until "this mortal hare put on immortality." I had taken so many medicines, and received so little ben efit, that I had confidence in nonr. I had used of nearly all the Celtyptftd Liniment*, and other external remedies I hml'trtfRra ot*. I had been placed by my friends under some ?f the best physicians in England, and all the relief I obtain ed was but of transitory duration. When I first heard of Haraptou's Tincture, I had not the slightest confidence in its efficacy, but I had a friend who had known Mr. Jarrett Plunimc-r hen hi-* sufferings were at the worst, and had witnessed the cure wrought upon him. To please her, I consented to try the Tincture, and I had not ta ken one tottU before I began to feel its beneficial effects?my .strength returned?my appetite became good?my complex ion was clear?I felt like another person. Through the influ ence of this friend you became acquainted with my case, and requested to see inc; you told me my cas* was such h j?ecu liar one that you would like to see the effects of the Tincture fully developed in it, and if I desired to take it, you would present it to me, if it was for the space of five ye*n??but on ly eighteen months have alaqsed.and I hare lost every nym ton of my disease; I have become strong and hearty?I car. stand as much if not more than most of my lady acquaint ances. I have a healthful complexion, and all my friends say I am getting quite jtenhy, one thing is certain, iny lame limb Is quite as large again as it was before, and I can trip about home without a crutch. I often wish my parents hail known of this remedy when 1 was a child, as I believe I should have been saved the excru ciating pain I have been subjected to, as well as the deformi ty of body I musk carry to the grave, and my parents would not have been under such heavy expenses from doctors bills, and in sending me, as they did,, to the celebrated Springs in England in search of health. I wish all the afflicted world could see me, and hear the benefits I have derived from thb Tincture of Hampton's. I try to make all acquainted with its virtues with whom I come In contact. Gentlemen, I am a thousand times obliged to you, and you. arc at lil>crty to use my name and caso to alL I remain,yours ingratitude, MARY A. SCOFIELD, No. tWO W. Baltimore st. To Messrs.
