tween the United States, France and the Mexican

had been run over and Injured, while crossing a 
street, recovered damages to the amount of $3,* 
000. The Judge, referring to the law on this sub¬ 
ject, remarked that, it is as much the duty of a 
vehicle to keep out of the way of passengers, as 
it is for the latter to keep out of the way of the 
former. Therefore drlvere have no right to mo¬ 
nopolize the privileges of the streets.

their foundations. Wne year is the period allowed

less and unconscious, having been drugged with 
chloroform.

CAPTAIN E. C. WILLIAMS’ SOUTH SEA 
WHALING VOYAGE. 
The Fenian*. 
The New York Spectator of the 18th inst. 
contains the following 
It was on the 7th of 
December that the Fenial Senate published their 
first manifesto againKt President O’Mahony, and 
so brought the Fenian difficulties before the 
world. Diligent readers of the papers have 
undoubtedly kept well informed of the progress 
of the quarrel, and now learn that the Fenians 
have demolished their Republic and its Govern¬ 
ment, and gone back to the position of a society 
or brotherhood. 
“The publication of the letter referred to was 
followed by divers and other publications, and 
finally at the call of O’Mahony, a Fenian Council 
met in this city on the second of the month. 
Several hundred Circles were represented, and 
the result of t heir protracted and secret delibera¬ 
tions is, that the Republic has been shoved aside, 
and for its President, its Senate, and its Cabinet, 
there have been substituted n Head Center, a 
Treasurer, and a Central Council of Five. 
'“The O’Mahony’ has triumphed, and the 
recussant Senators have been thrust out into 
the cold. Doubtless the Moilatt House iti Union 
Square will still he occupied by the Organization, 
and over the building will still float the green 
flag with the national harp, the latter symbolic 
of the harmony that prevails beneath the folds 
of the flag, now that troublsome agitators are 
disposed of.” 
Tub question now is, since from port 
Otir Captain bold, made sail, 
Not “Have you seen the elephant?” 
But “ Have yon Been the whale ?” 
“ Ship ahoy I” 
“Ahoy 1” 
“Where bound?” 
“ A-whaling.” 
“Where away?” 
“Canandaigua, Jan. 27th, 29th and 30th; Geneva, 
Jnn. 31st, und Feb. 1st and 2nd; and then to Penn Yan, 
Leroy, Batavia, Brockport, Medina, Albion, Lockport, 
Erie, Ac.” 
“What port did you clear at?” 
“New York! where we lay to for 250nights, run¬ 
ning against the best city amusements, and made 
money by it.” 
“Good luck to ye, Captain 1” 
“All hands make sail. Now she scuds.”

A Plot to IielcaMo Jell 
Du vis. 
It is said that somebody has conceived and 
organized It plot to release Jeff. Davis from his 
comfortable durance at Fortress Monroe. On 
the basis of this rumor, an extra .guard has 
been set over the noted prisoner — his sentinels 
are forbidden to speak to him, and a brace 
ol heavily shotted gun6 frown threateningly 
over the walls, with intimations of a passport to 
“Davy Jones’ locker" for any one who shall 
approach them upon such an unlawful errand. 
We believe there is such a reserve sis the secret 
service fund. It strikes ns that a very liberal 
appropriation from this source might be profita¬ 
bly made to any person or persons who will steal 
poor old Jeff, out of prison and spirit him away 
under circumstances calculated to convey the 
idea of surprise. It is hinted that the flight of 
Stephens, the Fenian, was shrewdly allowed, to 
relieve the British authorities from a very per¬ 
plexing embarrassment. Stephens was not hall 
so annoying an element to John Bull as Jeff, is 
in danger of becoming to us.

from the discussions aud action. The evening 
sessions were well attended, and the addresses 
were generally botli pertinent and eloquent,—cal¬ 
culated to awaken the people and advance lfio 
good cuase. We regret our inability (lur want, 
of space) to give an extended report of the pro¬ 
ceedings. The next meeting of the Society is to 
be held at Syracuse, on the 6th of February 
proximo. Wo hope it will be largely attended, 
enthusiastic, and widely beneficial.

A New Orleans telegraphic dispatch of the 
18th inst., says:— A private letter from the 
Inspector of Customs at Clarksville, Texas, 
6ays the 18th Colored Infantry, under Col. 
Davis, took all the skiffs in his charge, crossed 
the river, and captured Bagdad. They then be¬ 
gan plundering the place and robbing the people. 
The scene was indescribable. The negroes shot 
men down for refusing to give up their money. 
A letter from Brazos of the 7t.li, to the Times, 
says Bagdad was capt ured on the morning of the 
5th. The attacking party consisted of sixty 
men. They captured nearly 300 prisoners, half 
of whom turned Liberals, and formed a garrison 
of the town, the attacking party disappearing. 
The Liberal loss was four killed and eight 
wounded, and the Imperialist loss was eleven 
killed and twenty-seven wounded. 
Gens. Crawford and Escobadn, on receipt of 
the above intelligence, started for Bagdad. 
Gen. Weitzel ordered Col. Hull, the Assistant 
Revenue officer, not to allow any one to cross 
until the arrival of Esaobada, 
Gen. Crawford arrived in advance of Eseobada 
and assumed command. 
Eseobada requested of Gen. Weitzel 200 men 
to preserve order, which was agreed to, and the 
men were ordered down. 
A French Corvette shelled the town on the6th, 
all day, without damage. 
Col. Mejia, Eseobada’s post commander, has 
only about a dozen reliable men in Bagdad. The
