Granapa ve Nicaragua, June 4, 1851. ‘Zhe Common Feeling against Americans—Ignorant Condition of the People—Imprisonment of Ame- ricans and Attendant Circumstances— The Murder of Mr.Maynard—-Want of an American Consu!— The Canal Company—Casualty and Loss of Wnye, Ge., He. There is always heartfelt joy among the Ameri- «cans here on the arrival of the Herald, and it is r sand re-read till the reading matter is nearly oblite- rated. Befere arriving inthis country, in November Jast, I was led t» believe the people were most hos- Pitable and well disposed towards Americans; but | soon learned to the contrary. [ even supposed they were partially enlightened, and knew something of tho arts and sciences, but 1 was equally disap- pointed; for since the times of the old Spaniards, they have been retrograiding as fast as a mixture of Spanish, Indian and negro blood can impel them. Living in @ country which nature has lavishly sup- plied with all the necessaries of life, and fruits of the choicest and richest kinds—abounding in min3- rals and useful metals, precious woods, and various kinds of medicinal productions—with a soil second to none for its richness, and a climate equalling that of “sunny Italy,” they have been, and still are, go- ing rapidly to decay. A straager, on entering tho country, is immediately struck with the aie of ruin on every hand. Old haciendas, or plantations, overgrown with weeds and trees —c! robes disman- tled, with perhaps a miserable mud hovel stuck in one corner, that has not been included in the gene- ral ruin, and the roads unworked, and even the streets, in some of the principal towns, torn by the -devastations of war and the elements. The city of Leon, the very heart and centre of Nicaraguan 10- ‘Gnement and civilization, is the focus of descruction and slothfulness. Here are congregated the Presi- -dent and the government—the army, whose bayo- nets support it, with the bishop, and the higher functionaries of the church. Here the arist »:racy dwell, and bere is what may be called the Paris and London of Nicaragua. Before the entrance of the Americans into the + country, the only money current amongst them was and South American coin cut into pieces - of from three to twenty-five per cent in value, with a few. gold pieces from the mint in Costa Rica, which, +at present, are refused by everybody. Trade was - carried on by a system of barter, which is still con- winued to a great extent. Arts an@ sciences they have none. Even tho rmost common articles of use are of the roughest aad «mestsprimitive kind. The plough consists of a crook- - ed atick pointed with iron. Although they are so many centuries behiad tho Test of mankind—although they have no commerce, ‘no manufactories, no treasury, no system of war, or even.of brainer an they have no healthy code of laws, nor any of the attendant benefits arisin from such # system, but are left subject to intern: commotions and attacks from without ; still the: view with a jealous eye the introduction of Ameri- cans amongst them. The very people who will, if favored at all, snatch them from oblivion, and give them a rank ong the nations of the earth, are disliked. Lt is almost impossible to accoant for this transition of friendship, which Mr. Squier has said so much about, to a feeling of almost hatred. They certainly have never received causefrom the Ame- ricans, and foreigners (as they are all classed under the head of Americans”). The cause must lie with the disseminators of opinion, the ruling power of the fewin authority, combined with the priests who are constantly filling their ears with tales of re- ligion ; and, as ph believe all heretics will be eternally lost to heaven, think weare no betser than 0 mapy brutes, who have no feeling and are the per of God. A Yankee and Protestant are synonymous, and as such should receive no respect or sympathy from them. There are, it is true, some bright and redeeming characters to be met with, but they are isolated, and their influence is small com- pared to the mass. i It is really dangerous for an American to walk the streets at night, unless he go armed, and even their insults extend to broad daylight. A friend of mine was met in the street a few days since by a native, who flourished a machete about his head— a large knife which the working class always carry with them, According to the pen published in English, the carrying of side arms less than tbree feet in length is prohi bited, yet the natives always carry knives and machetes with impunity. Several instane have occurred where Americaus have had their » arms taken ficm them, and tines of $15 each imposed upon them, in February last, two men, Messrs. Colby and Robinson, were thrust into pri- son amongst felons and thieves of the worst class, for a disturbance that took place on the lake shore. They werg fined $15 each, and their pistols taken from them; still they were kept in durance vile without the shadow of a trial, or even a hear uptil the subject aroused the Americans, who @ petition to the Judge of the First Instance. juesting aspecdy trial, and if innocent of the charge that they should be liberated. ‘The potition, mo-t respectful in form and speech, was sigued by “eventy-eight men. It was rejected, on the’ground that it was not written in Spanish; secondly, no petition can be received unless in political cases, and signed by only five persons; but the Judge would inform the Americans of Granada, tha: they could not assemble in meetings, as he had heard that they had threatened taking the men out of the prisou.— «They may kill two or three of us—perbaps half of the town, but they can never leave the country alive.” Such was the language of the grave judge, who, the second day following this bouibastic threat, released the two men witbout a hearing. A few evenings since, a Doctor F. was sitcing on the steps of his boarding house, conversing with a friend, when u native drew a knife on him; but he luckily dodged the blow, and the fellow made bis escape in the dark. ere was not the least sign of provocation, as the man was perfectly uaknown tohim. The same gentleman amputated a poor snan’s aim which was nearly cut cif by a blow from a’ machete during a fight, and atvended him about six weeks, till he completely recovered, when the authorities of the town sent for him and demanded to know if he had a license to practice medi the country, informing him he had made hi liable to w fine of 825. He informed them he did not intend making any charge, but attended the man for the sake of suffering humanity, kaowing beforehand that he would never receive one eeut for his services; when taey expressed themselves as ed to him, thanked him in the name nd bowed him out of the room. ent towards Americans does not s'op at insults, but extends to robbery and murder. You bave heard of the death of Mr, Maynard, who was personally known to me, and the attack upon his companions, one of whom thoy lefc for dead in the read. I not ication in the Herald, over the tignatar thinking that such cannot be the case; that there must certain! be some mistake in the matter. We connot call this peculiar feeling of that gentlemin towards these people by avy other name than gratuitous and undeserving charity. There are two gentle- men at present in the same hotel that I am, who were knocked from their horses at diterent timés, and one of them robbed of all his mouey. Althoagh the murderers of Mr. Maynard have bown arrested, and their guilt proved, nothing has been done with em, altuough we we informed toey were to have been shot, long since, in Leon. Besides these f citizens, others but I have already the lives and property of Ameri could be ned, if ne sessary extended this to a great length. Thereare but fewAmericans a present in tho coun try, und they ail look to each other for protection. Sull, we are left alone, without a person to repre- vs, not even a coneul. If we are insulted, robbed, or imprisoned for a od grievance, we have no one to look to for p if our citizens dered, we have no one to hear our com- plaints, and demand ofthis weak and pusillanimous government that the guilty ones shail meet their just rewards. We are liable at any time to he be- vet by a band of cut-throats, in the event of a re- volution, and have our property destr.yed and car+ ried off; still, we have no one to look to who will say, “* ‘The government which | represent will pro- tect you.” We are looked upon as a party of adventurers who bave no fixed home, gen discarded by our government, and that we came from a place culled El Norte, What that place is ‘— what its power, wealth, and resources a: ie a thing of which they have not the slightest ide: Our government is losing what little credit and dig- nity it ever possessed here, simply for the want of a representative. What is Congress doing, taat it cannot give a little attention to this part of the world! Surely, its interests are not so insignificant, ot the American people so poorly represented by what few thore are here, as to Tooo all considera- tion. An Englishman in this country never re- ceiver on insult, if he is known to be such, as the -oame of Chatfield is in the mouth of all. He is looked asa He pe being, or some great monst ity, but still the name carries with it re spect. Why is this! or the simple fact that the sbips of England are looking into every haven and aes, of the coast, and her agents ok to the in- terests of her subjects. If Foglishmen has a grievance, redress is immediately janded, and uf refused, the State is instantly threatened with the broedsides of her menm-of-war. There certainly never Was mere need of a government agent than in ‘his country at the nt time. a tas eade some provision for it, or will thf reasion expires. are other subjects transpired and tra: which are aot at all prudent to be eta 80 before ia | this bailiwick, as a v instances of intrigue and murder committed upon | consul or chargé d'affaires is the only attend to it. This is the commencement of the rainy season, altogether the Rasen it time of the year, as it seldom rains in the day time. Nearly every night we have a shower. the months of May, June, and July, the crops are put in the ground; but corn, I am informed, will grow any time be- tween the months of May and October. The weather here is not so hot as many suppose it is. I have often suffered more in New rork with the heat than Ihave here. The nights are delightfully cool and inviting to sleep, pe during the day a pleasant breeze is always stirring. We are allin dark here as respects the canal company. The only thing we know is, that a steamer has been sent out; also, a party of en- gineers, who have surveyed and cut a road from a peint on the lake, called Virgin Bay, to San Juan del Sur, on the Pacific, including a distanse ofabout twenty miles. Tho road is good, with some trifling exceptions ; but the port of San Juan is miserably adapted to be made the terminus of the great work, being very small, and exposed on the southwest directly to the ocean. 1 am surprised that a party of men, with Col. Childs at their head, should have adopted that for a transit route. Mr. Horn, the agent of the company, has published a notice stat- ing that the route will be ready for the transit of PaMengETS on the Ist of July. i On Thursday, the 28th ult., a Mr. David Nelegin, of New Orleans, was knocked overboard by the boom of the sloop John Mitchell, and was drowned. ‘The poor man had lost the use of his arms by rheu- matism, and could not swim. All efforts to save him proved useless. He left a very amiable wife and family, in New Orleans, to mourn his loss. Onserver. Our ‘Washington Correspondence. Wasuineton, July 7, 1851. Politics of the Day—Visit of @ Pennsylvania Whig Deegation—Breakers ahead--The Gardiner Claim — The Claim upon Portugal in the Case of the Ship Gen. Armstrong, §c. §c. Very little attention in the North is paid, just now to the political movements in South Carolina, and to the corresponding organizations in Georgia Florida, Alabama, Mississippi and Arkansas; but they will result, before two years are over, in one of two things—either in the election of a President 0 the United States upon a Southern platform, or in # combination which, before we are prepared for it will boldly strike out into the experiment of a Southern confederacy Tho Northern whig party seems to be wilfully blind to these things, or incon- ceivably stupid not to perceive them. ‘The administration is in a better position for a better judgment, and the speeches of the President, and Mr. Secretary Stuart, at the Fredericksburg dinrer, show that they have ceased to suppose this Southern cry of secession a mere humbug; and that they are earnestly solicitous about the satety of the Union, notrithatandiog. the compromises of 1850. The speeches of Mr. Webster indicate the same misgivings. There would be no use in hi ted exhortations to maintain, if there was a universal affection for the Union; indeed, if the Union were perfectly safe, there would be little to be gained of Political capital, or public respect, in these succes- sive Union speeches. There is danger yet, and it is the more serious, from having assumed a form of systematic Me apceres in the South already. If he Presidential election does not break up this Southern conspiracy, it will extend and strengthen, until it is strong enough to convene a Southern Congress, and declare for @ Southern confede- racy. ¥ look, therefore, upon the approaching State elections in Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi, as povscesed of higher interest, and as involving mat- ters of deeper moment, than all the elections in all the other States put together. If the abstract right of secession is carried in all of the aforementioned States, or in any one of them, with a formidable minority in the others in favor of sustaining the right to secede as a theoretical question, at will obably be enough for South Carolina. Let jeorgia admit the right—let South Carolina act it, and secede, and where will Georgia be, if the federal government attempts the coercion of her neighbor? She will march to the support of South Carolina as sure as the rising of the sun. Itis highly probable that the superficial area ofthe Union is as large as we can venture to make it with any confidence of holding it together. And yet we shall have further annexations of territory to the South, slavery and all, in the Union or out of the Union, before many years are over, by peaceable or hostile means, and with or without the consent and co-operation or connivance of the federal government. ‘The cotton crop of the South is worth $100,000,000 a year. It is produced by slave labor. South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Louisiana, M ppi, and Arkansas are the principal cotton preducing States. The top and bottom of their political xystem is the preservation of their existing system of slavery. In the Union or out of it, they must stand together. South Carolina understands it. She sees that if she moves, the cotton pro. ducing States around her must come to the rescuc- She is alienated. She is, in everything but the forms, out of the Union already. Tho Southern elections of this summer and fall may suffice for her pepe: With a hint that they are ready, she wili strike. The consequences may readily be conjec- tured And yet the Northern a party are making friends with abolitionixm and free soil, as if the South, after submitting to the loss of Cali- fornia, were impotent, broken, pevenine, and ser- vi ind would submit to anything. : ratified at the sober and sensible view of this subject entertained and expressed by the Administration, we remark, with the most natu- ral misgivings, that all the movements of the whig party in the North are calculated to widen the breach between the two sections of the Union, and the two sections of the party, the Northern and the Southern. In Pennsylva in Vermont, in New York, and especially in Ohio, the official action of the whig party is unsatisfactory, if not aotually menacing and insulting to the South, and the whigs ofthe South. It rs a8 manifest as the satis- faction of Seward & Co., that the policy of the Northern whig party for 1852, is to run General Scott as a Northern whig candidate upon a North- ern platform, abandoning all eg en or calou- lations of a single State south of Pennsylvania, We ray this is a matter of alarm; because it is a great Northern movement to alienate and detash the South from the Union, by an ignoble depend- epee upon & mer Northern majority. Though not je, that such a policy in the cam- ay succeed. But if it does succeed, aps, be well to have a military man at head of affairs. he movement in Pennsylvania, at the Lancaster Convention, has resulted inthe desire, on the part of the administration whigs, to know what they think of Scott here in Washington. A few days ago, ac- cordingly, Mr. Josiah Randall, Mr. Senaior Cooper, and Mr. Hampton, of Pittsburg, came here to in- quire into the matter; and, we be! iy sullintown. But from all that has leaked out, the President is mum, or indifferent, or neutral, or does not care a button about it, and intends to have no- thing to say nor to doin the Pennsylvania State election next October. If the whigssucceed, well and good ; if they do not succeed, it will porhaps be still better. Atall events, the administration does not wish to be considered as aiding and abetting the Coeper clique against the Lewis aud Levin ‘Tque, or vice versa. ‘They must manage this Dusiness among themselves. Ba; privately and confidentially, we take the liberty wo eay, that the defeat of Johnston would be regarded, ory of the administration. And we should not be in the least surprized if John- ston received something considerably lees than his majority of three hundred and foity in I-48, when be was backed up by ail the glory of Old Zack, ard ail the proepects of increased protection. If he is elected, the Administration must look to the South, ard to the policy of a Union ticket for the North and South, against Scott, free svil section- aliem, und against the complete alienation of the Southern states from the Union, which must re- sult from the suceets of a purely Norshern ticket. ‘The name of Gen. Scott is a tower of strength in the North. It will take a powerful ticket to re- sist him; but the free soil auspices under which he is brought forward, if not set aside fora more en- Jarged, liberal, and national policy, will be disas- trous in their tendencies to t toration of the harmony of the Union; disastrous to an extent for which the inoredulity of Northern fanaticism is not prepared. Gen. Scott is, no doubt, general enough to seo that to surrender his position in the Nortn without any equivalent gain in the South, he would be a fool. Wo do not expect bim to surrender it; but we suppote he will adhere to it, and let thi ath go as they please, depending upon the m ity in the North to do the business in the very teeth of the South. If the election ef 1852 is carried upon form, one-third of the Southern States ly be missing before the camprign of i rdiner claim has only ceased to be the ex- citement from the absence of new disclosures on tho tubject. We understand the President intends to send down to San Luis Potosi ® comuission to in- quire iato the fucts of this singular case—a thing which ought to have been dene by the commission- ra upon a claim for $1,600,000 in the very begin- ning, for the sake of appearances, if for nothing elee. Among the arrivals here lately, I notice that of Mr. vateuel C. Reid, jr., of Louisiana, who has come to look after the Gen. Armstrong claim against the government of Portugal. ‘As the great excitems this olaim has died away since General Taylor ordered the floet off the Tagus to demand it, ite position has been lost sight of. A owever, provides that thie claim shal te bitrate d b friendl; r ar! je rome wer. Ports nad the UaiteKStater, Feance has named Sw: As soon as Portugal ratifies the treaty, which has been sent out by our Chargé at Lisbon for that ner pose, @ commission will be made up for its arbitra- ment. Mr. Reid ia a young lawyer of New Or- leans, of great energy of character. By the late New Orleans papers, it appears he has been solicit- ed to run for Congress in Ay district. The govern- ment may rest assured however, that he will not let this claim rest until ultimate provision is made for its Boy rare he Intelligencer and Republichave at last come out with Mr. Webster’s Fourth of July oration, after baving had it ‘promptly revised,” a3 they a The revision, however, amounts to the addition of a paragraph or two, and no more, as can be seen by comparing the oration as published inthe Herald, of July 5, with the ‘revised copy,” as published hore July 8, in the old sleepy organs. They were wait- ing for a “revive,” that is to say, ‘ over the lefi ” The fact is, after finding the oration in the Herald, in advance of them, the organs, like the New York Wall street journals, thought there must have been some conjunction or legerdemain in the busi- ness; and it took them two or three days to be per- suaded of the astounding fact, that a speech deli- yeredhere on the Fourth could be published in New York on the fifth. Every once in a while the Herald has to wake them up. New York Gongressional Districts, WITH THE POPULATION AND VOTE IN EACH FOR GOVEKNOR, IN NOVEMBER, 1850.

Swavrax Exgcrrica Pagnomenon at New Beprorp, Mass.—The New Bedford 'y pub- lishes # communication from # gentlemen of that city, giving an account of a sin, electrical phe- nomenon which occurred at his residence on the evening of the 5th inst. He was seated in his li- brary, roading, when his wife came in and seated herself in a rocking chair at the other end of the table, Finding the solarlamp a little too far from her, she drew the chair over the carpet towards tho table, partially raising herself in tho chair, but not getting entirely out of it. The instant the chair moved, an explosion took place, exceedingly sharp and as loud as a Chinese cracker. He was some- what alarmed by it, and the alarm was increased by an exclamation from his wife that she was hurt in the band. The first thought was that some ono had thrown a cracker into the window. bat the window was closed. Upon taking the eyes from the book, @ tuminous body, about the size and noarly the shape of the flame of a candle was seen floating in the air, and moving towards the opposite side of the room. It had nearly reached the partition when first seen, and when’ it had reached the wall it appeared co sink down behind the sofa, where it disappeared. The color of the body was a bluish white. It was seen with great distinctness, so that its shape and color were accurately determined. The room was filled with a pungent odo:, whose character con- veyed the impression that both woollen cloth and sulphur were burning. It was much the strongest at the spot behind the sofa where the meteor ex- pired. Upon removing the sofa, two or three minutes afier the explosion, the swell was so strong as to be highly offensive. It was as powerful as that which accompanies the ignition of a match. It was thought that the carpet was on fire. The hand of Mrs. C. was found to have been burned near the knuckle of the forefinger. ‘The spot was about as large as a dime, and for & while was Sxecingy painful. It was much discolored and swollen. [t remains a dark purple, and pain- ful to the touch. It was thought possible that some explosive article or material might have been intro- duced into the room. Livery part of the room was carefully examined, but nothing was found to give any plausibility to such a supposition. When it was over nothing was to be seen but the dark spot upon the wounded hand. The writer finds it dilticult to disconnect this incident from the extraordinary, if not (to us) unprecedented, tempos of Thursday night and Friday morning. He cannot connect them by any chain of scientific reasoning, bat may be allowed to remark, that it would not be strange, after such a wonderful exnibiti potency and activity of the electric furces, if we should observe somo unusual minor manifestations of the same extraordinary power. Has it not been mentioned that in certain houses in New York, the cS ts become, at times, so charged with elec- tricity, that they communicated shocks to persons passing over them? Tue vast Tracepy at Lyxcusvra, Va.—Wo are called upon this morning to record another most painful tragedy, occurring between gentlemen who may almost be considered citizens of this place. The circumstances which caused it, however, being of the most delicate nature, we shall allude to them only in so faras may be necessary to muke intel- ligible the sad termination of the affair. On Sun- day evening last, about dark, Dr. Lorenzo D. Wil- liams, son of Jno. M. Williams, residing just across the river, on the Amherst side, eloped with the eldest daughter, agedabout nineteen, of Capt. Richard G. Morris, who also lives immediately over the river, with the purpose of mar ing her. ‘The couple, accompanied by one of W.’s bro- thers, and a Mr. Edmund Hill, took the Char- lottesville route for Washington city. The family of the young lad; petting wind of the elopement accidentally, ort time after it occurred, Capt. Morris and his son; Richard G., prepared imme- diately for a pursuit. They overh: aways in Charlottesville, they having been dis- appointed in meeting a ready conveyance from that place. The daughter was concealed in the hotel, but the father and brother got possession of her, and then had Williams and his party bound over in the sum of a thousand dollars each. Both parties left for home, and on Tuesday evening they put up accidectally at the same hotel, in Loving- ston, Nelson county. When Williams’ party and young Richard Morris were seated at the supper table, opposite to each other, some indignity was offered young Morris by the other party, when he threw his plate into the face of Williams. Morris, Williams, and Hill then commenced a general shooting, which resulted, after some eight or ten rounds, in the death of young Morris and of Hill, and it is said of the mortally wounding of Dr. Williams. Young M. was shot in the body by Williams’ brother Robert. Hill was shot by Morris in the eentre of the breast ; and Williams was shot by him in tao side or back. When this occurrence took place the father and daughter were in their room up stairs. A message was forthwith dispatched to the families of the parties, and they arrived bere at an early hour yesterday morning. ‘The news of so dreadful a tragedy of course created the greatest excitement and regret in this commu- nity. As tothe feelings of the unhappy families involved, whose cup of —< has been perhaps for- ever imbittered, we shall not attempt a description. Language would be inadequate to the task.— Lynchburgh (Va.) Republican, July 3. Messaoe or Gov. Catuoun, or New Mexico. — Governor Calhoun, of New Mexico, delivered his first message to the Legislature, which convened at Santa Fe on the 2d ult. It is brief, and confined to the affairs of the territory. We quote the fol- lowing passages relative to peons and free negroes. He says:—* The relations between masters and peons should be distinctly defined, and each should understand their respective obligations, and appro- priate remedies for a violation of them, upon the part ofeither, should be provided. Free negroes are regarded as nuisances in sated State and Ter- ritory inthe Union, and where t society is most degraded. I trust the Legislature will pass alaw that will prevent their entraxee into this territory. ‘The disgusting degradation to which society issubjected by their presence, is ob- vious to all, aad demands a prehibitory act of the everest character.” Regarding certain property in Santa Fe claimed by the Catholic Church, and seized some yearsago, and since used by the military ag omne he says:— It is perfectly evident that the military church in thie city was designed for the use of the Catholic clergy in their ministrations with the military eorm- munity and otbers, a pears to, me the Legis | lature should not hesita moment in restoring | the chureh property here alluded to to those who | ehould rightfully enter it for the purpose of adinin- istering the rites of the Catholic Church. This may be accomplished by an act of the Legislature. I further recommend the Legislature to memorialize Congress on this subject, and ask that body to re- linquish all claim they may possess to the Catholic clergy now resident in this territory. ‘This course, | L conceive, will be just and proper, and will avoid all litigation, and quiet annoyances that may not be otherwive escaped. | Respecting t Indians, Governor C. thus | speaks :— ft perbapt advisable to pase an | suthorizing the extension of the laws of this terri tory over the Pueblo Indians within its borders, | povpening their extension to such period as may be Deceseary to consult the government of the | United States in reference to the polisy to be par- | sued with these Indians. That policy should not | be disturbed. In the meantime, however, I recom- mend thet if any one or more of the Pueblos should manifest adesire to abandon their separate exist- ence as a people, that the laws of the territory be immediately extended over them, under such rega- | lations as you may prescribe.” The Rev.
