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

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

The girl, who is a daughter of the neph

the death of her mother, which occurred
when she was about ten years old, to live

IstMtion can lie corrected.
(.solved, That iu regard to the rcxed
question of American slavery, we deem
that quest on ax settled in this State, and

disapprobation of the American people. ,
Resolved, Thnt the interests of the peo

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

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-'
