To thie light, ruppose that the two thousand jull Lirds, short boys, choulder hitters, and other fons and intractable vayabonds of this city, ld volunteer for the relief of Walker in a nies, and go down to Nicaragua, what would be the result? According to the above ratio of Walke ers losses, of there two thousand fresh recrul’ ut least sixteen hundred would goon be left the graveyards of the Walker republic, so that the ehanors ef return yolunteers would be diminished to four hundred men, three fourths of whom would probably be scattered along the wey. Thus, if our two thousand intractable city ruMans and vagalous should go dowa to Walker, the probabilities arc hat not over a inadred would ever return back upon ua to disturb the pease of the city. Would pot this be a great blessing to New York, and worth some degree of liberality to bring about’ Then, again, in going down to Nicaragua, for the aswistance of Walker, those volunteers will have the satisfaction of dying ia a good cause, of which they have oot the shadow of a chance at bs wd them down. me Cote Sreamens. faving no prospect of relief, Mr. Collins, we underrtand, desires Congress to duke hie Liver- pool line of eteamcrs off his Lands, according to the original agrecmeut, aad thos close up the concern, Jt is rather surprising to us that the Western members of Congress, who, withia the past tive or rix years have squandered away the public domain to railroad stockjobbers to the extent of no lees than one hundred millions of dollars, should stand out against anygacroase of sppropriation to the maintenance: the Col eh Conannss AND line Vine of © dl should ee all ap one to on the ground of re wed evonot fair play.

Firat, itis very extraordinary that these negro plots of ser- vile war shoald be concocted simultaneously at eo meny different points, eo remote from each other, and covering such a vast area of the South, ‘ar eppears from the discoveries already made. Se- condly, it is remarkable that in all these diecover- cd plots the conspirators had fixed upen the Christmas holidays as the proper time for their work of blood and carnage. This holiday ar- rangement will explain itself, It is the period when the slaves have the largest liberty of meet- ing together. And ihe first point, we think, will admit of a ready and satisfactory explanation. We adhere to our original view of the subject, that neither strolling abolitionists ver the Fre- mont party will answer as the solution of these widely extended negro schemes of revolt in the South, but that they are entirely chargeable to the fire eating, treasury-robbing, disunion, bloed- and-thunder style in which the Presidential cam- paign was conducted in the South, chiefly by the Southern democracy, though to some extent, leo, by the Fillmore party. For instance, let us turn back to the canvass as it was donducted by the democratic Janta at Richmond. Mr. Toombs had declared, in @ Senatorial letter to Geor- gia, that “the election of Fremont would aud ought to be the eng of the Union,” and various other Southern fire-eaters, and even Millard Fillmore, usually considered a cold, selfieb, calevlating Northera demagogue, had re- peated this disunion cry of Mr. Toombs. It was received and re-echoed by the Richmond Junta in every form of revolutionary resistance. The Junta held meetings, made speeches, issued their papers, from day to day, deuouncing Fre mont as an abolitionist—that his election would be disunion and civil war, because the South would not submit to an abolition administration, &c. Governor Wise, in these furious took the lead. He feared that Fremont would be clected— he was preparing, day and night, the means of resistance—Virginia had men, she bad wme--her men should be drilled, her arms got ready, and vem the slaves, when the time came, could be armed and mustered in defence of the South against the «abolitionists of the North. Better to go to war at once in defence of our in- stitutions than permit an ebolition President to rule over us Such were the ravinge of that roaring salamander, Governor Wise. Nor did he stop here. He threatened, in a public epeech, to bring the Grand Jury and the civil authori- tics of Richmond dowa upon Mr. Botts for the “treason” of dariog to assert that the chivalry of Virginia would submit to Fremont’s election as the will of the American people; and it was only throngh the moral courage and good sense of Mr, Botts that he evenped with his life. As ia Richmond, so througheut the South, did the fire- ny organ and orators of the democratic party keop up the excitement at white hest against Premont as tie candidate of the Northern abolitionists for the destruction of Southern slavery. These recently discovered Bouthern slave con- ies, then, are but the ripening fruit of oathern Presidential campaiguing slang as—“Fremont, the abolitionist,” “abolition war ov Southern slave property,’ “Fremont elected,” “disunion,” “civil war,’ “arm for defence of our rights,” &., from snch Southern abolition agita- tors as Toombs, Fillmore, Wise; Brooks, Keitt, Fioyd, Slidell, Walker, Forney and others, Tho tick has been overdone, They are now making the dircovery that niggers have ears, and that with soch a mass of evidence as was brought 1) bear in the South to prove that Fremont election would be either the dissolution of th» Union or the emancipation of all the slaves, | is Dot so very wonderfol that the ignorant, inu- tative and credulous blacks should be per- snaded fully to bellove that there was some- thing in the wiad, and proceed to arrange theic bleody plans to co-operate with Fremont accord- ly in bebaif of emune!pation. ‘The lesson thus strangely enough taught oar Southern fire cating, disunion, nigger agitating demagogues is very significant and suggestive, Very likely, liad the Presidential controversy continued two mouths longer, they would have involved themelyce and the whole South in the blood ard flaunes of a ecrvile invarrection of tieir own kindling.

Treat or Honrinator, THE WALL aTneer MAN. —One of our criminal courts is oecupied at the present time in the trial of that distinguished operator, Charles B. Huntington, and the case is ‘exciting all the interost that is due to the fame of the man and the notoriety of bis exploits. It is not becoming that we should ray anything at this time which could influence the Judge or the jury, but when we recollect the escape of Schuyler, and the secret efforts which were made to prevent his recapture and retarn, the abortive attempt reeently made to administer justice to a man who openly killed a fellow creature in a bar- room, the hundred and fifty to two hundred in- dictments against the faro establishments, and the two thousand indictments against offenders of various grades which lie on the calendar covered up with the dost of years, there seems very little improbability of the public deciding erroneously in this case. Huntington is charged with forge- ry. But he was also well known as a distinguish- ed bull operator, and he is ending his career as many other bull operators have done, both here and elsewhere, * Gambling, out and out, faro bank gambling euch as is practiced inthe gambling houses io Broadway, and is indicted, has its victims from time to time, over whom a great hubbub is made, sermons are preached and prayers prayed. But we are far from certain that faro bank gambling has produced greater or more terrible calamities than gambling in stocks. In the years 1824, 1825 and 1826 the criminal courts were occupied day after day in the trial of the stock gamblers of that day. Mr. Maxwell, the late Collector of the Port, was District Attorney at the time, and conducted the prosecutions, many of which were followed by the most Jamentable consequences, Another similar period extended trom 1832 to 1837, and in it Nicholas Biddle, General Jackson, and Martin Van Buren filled distinguished posi- tions. What were the consequences of that con- test between the bulls and bears of Wall street? After figuring fora few years they all broke down in cyery direction. Mr. Van Buren was consigned to private life, Nicholas Biddle died of a broken heart, and many other balls and bears, stripped of all they had, died penniless, unpitied and unknown. These reminiscences should be carefully pondered by the bulls and bears of the pre- sent day, especially by such men as Wesley —the owner of the Daily Times. It is the height of folly for him to exult ia his paper, as be has done, over the prostration of his antagonist, Jacob Little, for his day will come before long, and he will need mercy. In the time of the Uni- ted States Bank, New York was the centre of operations; and Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington outlying localities; in the movement of the present day New York is still the centre, with Albany and ihe towns through which the Central Railroad rans provincially dependent on it. Wesley—of the Daily Times—is a great bull and gambles not only in railway stocks, bat also in lots, Post Office sites, newspapers, Litile Vil- Jains, and a)) sorts of other commodities. He may be considered a» the modern little Biddie, His prototype and hie destiny can be found in history. Distworserry or Loxp Pataerstox.—The British government, as we bear, is on the polat of sending Mr, Mathew, late Consul at Philadel- phia, to the rich Consuiate at Odesaa, as a reward for his martyrdom in this country.
