Tis is the ques- tion, and the people of the several States must Sas it. The Democracy accept the issue, and will figbt to the last for State rights and the uity of that Union which our fathers formed transmitted to us. It is fortunate that this issue—this treason to our institutions and liber- ties—has been so early and so boldly made and tendered. Let the Democracy sound the alarm Let their watchword be “State rights, the Union and our liberties.” The Intelligencer, from amidst balf a hun- dred omens and prognostications drawn from the recent elections, makes its own inference thus: “* At present it would seem to be incontestable that the ‘ Anti-Lecompton wing’ of the Demo- cratic army bas y paved itself sufficiently deter the traveling public from venturing over the Nicaragua route. The English of this is, that the game of these Parties was clearly seen through by most of those immediately interested, and that the very meazs they resorted to to prevent the Washington from obtaining a fair complement of passen- gers, 80 awakened public attention to the re- markable advantages of the Nicaragua line, as to crown the opening trip of the American At- lantic and Pacific Canal Company with much Success.

It says that it has ‘‘private despatches from Cairo, Jonesboro’, Shawnee- town, and other points in Egypt, assuring it of the election of two, and probably three, Na- tional Democrats to the lower House, (of the Legislature,) also, that three of the Democratic Senators holding over will, beyond doubt, op- to expect and that its opinions s' comfort and speed, and being met by the Her- 3 D have See weighs in deciding the fetare policy of | man on the Pacific side, will proceed as per | P°** the re-cleotion of Dougias.

But our interest in this matter is far beyond that of the success of the company as an en- terprise in which Americans and American cap- ital are involved.

Austin, Esq., of the El Paso and Fort Yuma wagon road commission, writes under date of Oct. 2, 1358, from Fort Yuma, as follows : “Near our old camp, and about fifteen miles above this place, a gold mine has been discov- ered directly on the road, which is represented as being exceedingly rich. People are flocking to it from all quarters, and numbers of immi- rants en route tor California buve stopped there. All the men who leave our expedition are bound to this new gold discovery. 1 sent a Mr. Kent, of our company, who isa relizble man, and bas spent seven years in the California mines, to Prospect the locality for me.

Mr. Keat bas a brother with us who wil! accom- pany the expedition to Sin Diego, and thea re- turn to the mines. The two brothers are New York farmers, in good circumstances, and they consider this a favorable opportunity to better their fortunes *” Mr. Austin has charge of this commission, which consists of twelve six-mule teams and fifty men, and left the valley of the Rio Grande in August. Its object was to increase the water facilities of the route, and improve the condi- tion of the road between El Paso and Fort Yuma. The expedition arrived at the western terminus of the road, Fort Yuma, on the Ist of October, and on the 5d started for San Diego, where the property will be sold and the com- mission closed. ‘he gentleman appointed to superintend the work being injured by an acci- dent, which occurred just before leaving the Rio Grande, the duty of his post fell on to Mr. Austin, who was next in command. He has discharged it, apparently, in a very satisfactory manner, and is expected home in December, proximo. He will return by the isthmian route. The career of William Walker there served go to fix the attention of the young men of this country on Nicaragua, as that they will never rest until they settle it up, just as they settle up a new United States territory. If Martinez, who has proved himself entirely incompetent to wield the destinies of the republic to the ad- vantage of its people, essays to set himself against the tide of popular sentiment there, which, we know well, is directed irresistibly at this time in favor of the Americanization of the isthmus in that way, the result will be that some party of the natives will, sooner or later, recall Gen. Walker or some other adventurer te aid them in assuring to Ni vanteges of such an America scribe. Such is the destiny of that portion of this Continent. Wecare not whether the approach- ing change in the affairs of Nicaragua comes through the action of the present government (really not to be hoped for) or through that of some other party there, aided by Walker or some other such American adventurer; because we know that the altered state of things ren- ders it certain that the practical revolution we anticipate will be ccmparatively a bloodless one—one made by at once materially benefit- ting the condition of all classes of the people of Nicaragua, ratber than by fire, sword and con- fiseation, as the change was not long since es sayed to be worked out. No other journal op- posed the manner in which it was sought to make that change, more strenuously than the Star; not because we were disinclined to the Americanization of the Nicaraguan isthmus, but on account of utter repugnance to the means employed to accomplish that end. . We rejoice to believe now, that the time is near at hand when the traveler, in crossing the Nicaraguan isthmus will see quite as many North American as native countenances among the people engaged in all pursuits in contact with whom he will be thrown there; and that whether Martinez continues in power there, or some other Nicaraguan be President, with Walker or any other American or Americans connected with his Government, bona fide American business interests will be so strong ou that isthmus as that the lives and Property of all men of all nations will be as safe there and the material interests of society, native and adopted, will thrive and prosper there as on the transit line of the great railroad con- nection between New York and New Orleans, via Washington city. Were all the people of Nicaragua as deaf to @ realization of their true inrerests as Marti- nez and his junta are, we should despair of seeing this state of things come to pass. But such not being the case, we live in hope that. in a twelve month, the Nicaragua transit route will be as thoroughly Americanized as the rail route between New York and New Orleans, and that the drippings of the immense travel will as they should, fall, in great part, into the willing pockets of natives of Nicaragua. —— Movement on thx A™mook.—According to the Paris correspondent of the London Globe, the jast India mail brings important details as to the development of Muscovite power at the mouth ofthe Amoor. Before it disembogues into the Gulf of Nickolajaw, this mighty stream app-oach- €s the sea by a bend so as to be only sixty versts or forty miles from the gulf of Dastries, ard to obviate the banks of sand at its junction with the ocran, the Russian engineers Propose a railway irable roadstead lust named. The from the admir name is Preach, and was given to this part of the coast by the celebsaled navigator, Lapeir- Ouse, whose fate, involved in mystery, occupied Europe at the close of the last century. Dastries was then French Ministre de Ma:ise. ‘The ex- ploring steam-frigate America, by the report of its Russian captain, found a still more servicea- bie bay farther south, opposite the Japanese Is- land of Matzmsi, and no similar craft had ever been seen in those wat Jenez.—We have every reason to believe that yesterday the Secretary of State addressed a note to Dr. Jerez involving a strong rebuke of his recent interference to prevent passen- gers from sailing from New York for California on the steamship Washington, on Saturday last, and notifying him that the injury his conduct had inflicted on the owners of the vessel and the line must be settled for by Nicaragua. From the best information in our reach, we be- lieve that at least three hundred passengers were deterred by Jerez from embarking on the Washington, which, but for his interference, would have carried out very nearly eight hun- dred passengers. The claim for damages made by the company, is said to be $50 000; and we trust it will be rigidly and promptly enforced and exacted. Navat.—The U.S. Steamer Arctic is ex- pected to come out of the dock at the Washing- ton Navy Yard (where she has been undergoing repairs) to-day. She is soon to sail for Pensa- cola, carrying thither the officers ordered to the chartered steamer Metacomet, of the Para- guay expedition. Lieut. Lovell is the only officer who will be attached to the Arctic. The officers of the U.S. chartered steamer Metacomet are as follows. Viz: Lieut. Wia. H. Macomb, Commanding ; utenants—Re- ginald Fairfax, Greenleaf Cilley, and James G. Maxwell. Gen. Warp, or Georcia.—Not long since we made a mistake in announcing the appoint- ment of this distinguished gentleman as U 8. Minister to Sardinia. We were accidentally misinformed by a gentleman in whose means of knowledge of such matters we confided. He has been tendered, and has accepted the mis- sion to China, whither he expects to sail as soon as the Senate can ratify the valuable treaty just made by Mr. Reed, who is expected to returo to the United States by that time. Frou Nortizxy Mexico —The stcamship General Rask, which arrived at New Orleans on the Ist iast , brings information from North- ern Mexico. Gen. Vidaurri bas issued a proclamation, call- ing on several merchants along the frontier to pay the sums annexed to their Remes, amounting to $150,000, or to remove with their goods trom the country, although the goods had paid him duties He says: “I will give no explanation, and wi-h no ques- tions, but enforce it on you (bis officers) to see this carried out.’?

Rigdon came to bis death by a pistol shot, which the jurors aforesaid believe was fired by Maron Croppe = Nagel Cor- ki ‘Mflernoof the reinains of the de ied by a concourse of peo- ple, the , City Council amd Police, were conveyed to Greenmount, and there interred. Yesterday morning, the accused, Cropps and Corrie, were brought up for trial before the Crim- inal Court, the streets around the. Court House and the avenues leading to it, were densely filled by all manner of people, drawn there from the supposition that the murderers of police officer Rigdon would be brougbt from the jail and ar Taigned before the Court. The Court room also was crowded to excess, and every available spot, from which a view of the prisoner’s box could be seen, was occupied by excited spectators anxious to look upon the outlaws, charged with this most terrible crime. A little after ten o’clock, the prisoners heavily ironed, in cl je of the Warden and Deputy Wardens of the jul, arrived at the Court House. As soon as they alighted from the van, the crowd eased so eagerly around them, that it ‘was with Eimenity the officers forced a passage to the Court Toom. A few minutes after 11 o'clock J Stump entered the Court room and took bisseat. Short- ly after the Grand Jury had retired, Frederick Pinckney, Esq ae ond eg Aitorney, entered the Court room, with the indictment against the Priones, and handed it to Mr. Whitney, who afterwards gave it to the Clerk of the Court. The Clerk, rising then said, ‘Mr. Warden, place Ma- tion Cropps and Peter Corrie at the bar.”’ The accused were then seated in the prison- er’s box. Cropps is about five feet ten inches en well built and muscular. He bzs very light bait, which ts crop; close all around the head; he has high cheek bones, an ugly mouth and large gray eyes, and altogether a very uapre sessing countenance. He was dressed in a dark brown cloth sack coat, brown vest and light col- ered cloth pants. He showed no emotion du- ring the reading of the indictment, but wore rather a hardened and reckless look, as he kept his eyes upon the Clerk. Corrie is not as tall as Cropps, but rather xtouter in build. He bas dark biown hair, dark eyes, and a countenance, if anything, more unprepos- seening than Cropps le had a cut across the bridge of bis nose, and also, on the lip, which were inflicted by officer Cook, upon the night when Corrie was arrested; his left eye is also much bruised and blood shotten, from the same cause. Corrie was dressed in a black cloth coat, brown vest and dark cloth pants ; he seemed to feel the awfal condition In which he was placed, and pias 3 the reading of the indictment, the muscles of the mouth were continually at wok, showing the dreadful agony of his feelings. Alter a few moments, the Clerk arose, and looking towards the prisoners, said: ** Marion Cropps, stand up, bold up your right hand ; Peter Corrie, stand up, resect dao right band. The prisoners did as directed. + Clerk then proceeded to read the Indict- ment, and after the reading said, ‘“ Marion Cropps, what say you, are you yuilty or not guilty.? Cropps Not guilty.’ what say yon, are you Clerk —‘ Peter Corrie, ” guilty or not guilty. Cortie.—“‘Not guilty.” To the usual questions by the Clerk, if they were ready for trial, Corrie replied that he was not ready. The piisoners then made. affidavit to the effect that they could not obtain a fair and impartial trial in the city of Baltimore, and not aving counsel, took this means of signifying their re- que-t—whereupon the Court granted the removal of their trial te Baltimore county. The prisoners were then taken to the lock-up, and afterwards, under a detachment of city police and the wardens of the jail, reconveyed to Prison. GAMBRILL WASHES HIs HANDS OF THE MATTER. The Baltimore American publishes the follow- ing communication from Henry Gambrill, con- victed of the murder of police officer Benton, and now awaiting sentence of death : To the Public :—Ifa few words from an unfor- tunate man will be received ca!mly, and fairly judged, I desire to say to those who once were my fellow-citizens—to those also who knew me in ebildhood, youth, and early manhood, not for my own sake, but in behalf of my gray-haired father and weeping mother—tbat the fearful mur- der of Mr. Rigdon struck as much horror to my heart as it did to that of his bereaved widow. Much as I love that dear father who clung to me with all the rgecscaes Pike parent's love during my recent trial, | would have preferred his deat by violence to that of the victim of last Friday even- ing. 1 desire thus to express earnestly my feel- ings, as I said before, not on my own account, but tor the sake of others T earnestly besought aud entreated calmness on the ool of all those who showed any interest in my behalf Tasxked buta fairtrial. The result ix known, and I ain in the cell of a condemned felon. My cup of misery is consequently full; and I humbly entreat that the world will not add another drop by connecting my name. which I derived from the best of fathers, with what oc- curred since my conviction. It was as unex- Pected to me as it could have been to any one, and as much regretted by me. Henry Gamerit.. Ses The Breadway Murder. In New York, on Monday, R. L. Willis, keep- er of the Broadway Gambling Saloon, at which & murder is said to have been committed in Sep- tember last, was committed to answer the charge: The complainant, Mary Mulbearn, states that upon Sunday, September 1%th, 1558, at about 3 o'clock on the night of that day she was awaken- ed by aloud noise, which proceeded from the lower entry ot house No. 531 Broadway. She heard aman say: “For God sake spare my life aud you may do what you please with me.” And distinctly heard the voice of the prisoner saying in reply: ‘G—dd—n the Irish s—n of ab-, dump him ;”’ and that on the same night she slept with Mrs. Rockliff and her child, in the house of the accused, and that on the next morn- ing she went to the cistern or cess-pool,toempty Some water, when she remarked a portion of the sleeve of a coat above the water, and that upon going there again in the afternoon of the same she saw the head and face of a man; besides this she also say* that when she yot out of bed on the morning of the occurrence she saw a large quantity of blood in the lower entry of the house, and that Henry Clark (ti colored man) was scrubbing about the walls; that she told her sis- ter of these facts, whereupon she was remsved by her to her own house, and who charged her to say nothing about them. [tis not denied that she was a se: vant in the Louse of the accused, or that she occupied the room stated by her, or that she slept with Mrs. Rocklotf on that night; nor has it been shown that it was impossible for her to have heard in her room the noise or words spoken, and which she has sworn to r. Chilton, who has examined the premises and aualyzed the spots upon the entry wall, and besides the cistern or cesspool, states that he has found them to be stains of blood. Ann Mulhearn, the sister of the complainant, corroborates her statement in many particula:s, and expecially swears to seeing stains of blood on the wall in the lower entry, which were pointed out to her by the complainant, on the following Thursday. the same rested: J she took her away. On the contravy, Henry Clark, the colored man, states that he remembers the nigbt of the 19th, and that he was in the bouse all that night; and that he went to bed bet ween three and four o’clock in the morning; and that until immediately be- fore be went to bed there were gentlemen in the ee and that he bad seen them there before, ut did not know their names; he denies washing off any blood next morning from the walls in the entry. This man isa servant in. the house; he waits upon the door; he keeps the parlors and upper part of the house in order. It seems he remembers on the 25th of October what hour he Went to bed, when he got up, and what he did on the morning of the 19th of September Previous; yet, although he has been employed at the house of the accused for the last fourteen months, he- does not know what business was carried on there.

Lounds should have appeared. A more literal filustration of the old - ‘there is many aslip between the cup and ? we have rarely heard of than occurred with ogg friend of ours up town on Sanda! ht. Having been called upon by a frien who manifested some symptoms of thirst, our friend, with his usual hospitality, left bis guest for a moment, went into an adjoining room acd set out 2 costly decanter well filled with a very tempting beverage, commonly calied “Old Rye,” and returned for bis friend. But during his temporary absence a wiley thief, who had been beomseaieg 2 the preparations through a window and not having sufficient moral strength to resist the powerful temptation offered by the sparkling nectar, silently entered the room and feloniously bore the decanter and contents off, leaving our friend and bis visitor to endure their thirst and console themselves as best they could over the loss of sparkling beverage. We had determined to rerve no longer as cbair- man of the committee on street compiaints. Bat the importunities of some of our best citizens are So great that we have been compelled to violate this resolution. Severul of the property bolders and residents on Fayette street, ncrth of the new road. complain that it bas been in a miserable condition for some two or three years. A com- mencement was made to improve it; but the work, in consequence of misunderstandings be- tween the contractor and the Corporation o clals, it has never been eompleted, and thus it remains & sort of quagmire, to the great annoyance of the roperty huiders slong its line; they ask us to eseech the Corporation to take hold of the mat- ter, and try and remedy the grievous evil. Some of the dwellers along Gay, and a part of First street, are clamorous about its horrid condition too. And we have been requested to make the preposition to the Town authorities to bave Bridge street cleaned, and if the expense cannot be met in any otber way to try and raise a switl- cient xmount by subscription. Doubtless our citizens will be pleased to learn the proprietor of the magnificest work of art, the Panorema of China, &c , which bas been on exhibition in Washington for several weeksy and which has been so much admired by our neigh- bors, bas concluded to exbibit it at Forrest Hall, in this city, next week, commencing on Monday, The Flour market this morning is rather duil.
