The Jacksonville Sentinel says the extraordinary winter and pr!mr lmve caused the Crescent City road to rcmnin blocked up sons to prevent trav el, only an occnsionnl exprcnmn being able to cross. The snow on the mountain, April 2, was very deep; the past week it Laving been almost continuously snowing. It will probably k- as late us June before wagons can pass over tho roul, which will prove a great injury to the ititer'or of that seet on. On the 2Mb of March, a party of eleven nun left Crescent City, and nr riveil nt the mountain early the next n.orn, where they were overtaken by a severe snow storm. They soon lost their wy, and wandered about over the mountain until the second night after, when some of them found their way back to camp, where some barley was found, parched, and some of it cui rii-d hack to those who had lagged b. hind. One man gave out, and was left there, nt Elk Camp. The rest f the party reached Jacksonville on the night of the 3U, havaig for two days without anything to rut but the parched lairley, and several of thrm so badly frozen as to he unable to walk.

Her statement, which was the only evidence in troduced, is that the accused iu a short time after her going there made ottempts n; on her person. These were continued sometimes with her consent and sometimes in spite of In r opposon, until some time the past winter, she in thcnx-unt'ine hav'n-r nmvcn at ui.out rttteen years of age.

A t a Democratic mec: ing held ' in Sumner county, Tennessee, the following resolution was passed: ' "Whereas, we hare in this community a secret order known a Odd Tellow., ho Lave monopolized to thenis -Ives an undue ' proportion of office, and done other acts and ' things inconsistent with the principles of the: Democratic party, ai.d supposing the same to be the case elsewhere, therefore be it "II solved, That as D . mocrats we cannot' consistently vote for a candidate for office i who belomrs to a se.Tet order, be he Know f Xothing, Plug Ugly, Odd Fellow, or what' not." 3T The following is from the Washing-' ton Correspondence of the Boston Journal under date of Feb. 20. The rcp?on of the recall of Lord Napier, ami the l.ostil ty ou the part of the Presi iik'i.t to his d plomntie conduct which pro voke I it, is at lelicth known. It annenni that when this government was very anx iously awaiting information from Central America, they received from Mr. Dallas, at London, notes of a conversation between him nnd the Earl of Malmsbury, in which the English minh-t.r said: "Lord Xm.ier had communicated to tho President the treaty negotiated by St W. Gore Ouseley, with the minister from Xicarogua. It wa believed that no objection was expressed to its provisions. One of its objects was to terminate the Mosquito Protectorate." Xow this was virtuullv the relinntiishment on the part of Englaud of her construction of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty, and ol course very desirable news to Mr. Buchanan, yet Lord Xnpier hnd withheld it. Whyf I General Cuss immediately wrote him private note, making inquiry, but his Lord-' ship coolly replied thnt the Earl of Malm, bury must have been mistaken, for, so far ns he was informed, " no treaty has as yet been concluded by Sir William Gore Ouse ley with nny agent on the part of Xicaragna Xow, eithhr hi Lordship was disgusted at this settlement of a long-tnlked-of difficulty without his aid. and fibbed, or hp ra mout stupidly inattentive to what was going on here. In either cose, he had reported in formation of action on his part here vhici nrm had takrn place. So a hint was probably given direct that he had better be transferred to some other post, and he has ' been transferred accordingly. A report has been received at the State ' Department from Mr. Clmrchwell of Ten. nessee, who was sent to Mexico in inrmti. ' gate the political affairs of that count7,; wiui i.iin government might officially recog nize cither the Lilieral or the High Church' party. Dr. Smith, who brought the report is of opinion that a large majority of the people ef Mexico sympathize with the Lib erals, and that if our government Will pur--chase a province or two on our frontier of Jmrez, the money thus received by him will enable h:m to establish his authority folly.' K, on the contrary, he ia not recognized by ! the I nitcd State, and supplied by ns with. : funds, the Church party will retain the cendency and will invite Englaud and ' France to aid in establishing it, guarantee-' bomls" re,UrD P-Tment European Meanwhile the PrmiMnt t... k r.,ot the power to employ our array and navy there the vote in the Senate (on taking up tl bill authorizine- him an r A Iwinie ttiir'y-one against to twenty-five in favor ,UDfmr'-'' rttif apmmtt kirn.- .
