JESSE WILLIAMS, Auditor. Revolution is Aspin-wall Courier received by (lie steamship Illinois, publishes the following letter, dated Carthagena, 8th tnst: VVith much regie! andstid foreboding, I have to inform you that the dogs of war, (the worst of wars, and a civil war,) are let lojse among us. A revolution broke forth in Bogota about the middle of last month and the adjacent country, in fact most of the interior is in a Haze of excitement, and anarchy und the tyranny of a diclatorism are strug gling together. Cen Mola has pronounced himself Dictator at the Capital. Gen Herrera, and most of the National Congress, had fled, and had not, at the last advices, accomplished a re-union.

Cen. Mosquera is in Barranquilla, with a force. I Here in Carthagena, all is "confusion! worse confounded," divisions existing in every party and class of socie and nothing but weakness and foolish blustering having yet been made manifest. In addition to the above, the Courier obtains the following information from private sources For several days previous lo the 7th, the inhabitants of Carthagena and vicinty had been kept in a terrible slate of excitement by the different rumors from the capital and on tnat evening several hundred paraded the streets, shouting for the Dictatorship. The Mormons.

Ia 1733, the Count Aranda, Plenipo tentiary from Spain, signed the treaty of peace between the United Stales and England, and wrote on the tame night to hit sovereign, Charles the Third. giving an account of what had been done, and added "I have just affixed my name to the treaty with deep grief, for I foresee infinite trouble to Spain from the existence of a North American Republic. This Republic has been ushered into the world a pigmy but the day will come when it will have grown into gigantic proportions aud be a Colossus." lie then staled that "the United States would move down to the Culf of Mexico that they would1 take Florida and New Spain, (Mexico,) and at last the Island of Cuba." Count Aranda was right.

Ho was a prophet. And it has only taken about 70 years lo verify lis prophecies. Most of the events which he anticipated have al. ready taken place. Florida and Louisiana came in and nided materially in swelling the pigmy Republic into a Co-losius.

Then Texas, then California and New Mexico, were absorbed, making us altogether, a pretty respectable sized nation. But still, notwithstanding these accessions, our Manifest Destiny is not yet accomplished. Our national appetite instead of being appeased by the territorial tit-bits it has had to tickle it, is only sharpened, and like Oliver Twist it is asking for more. The more we get the more want. New Mexico and California was but the prelude to the balance of the Greasers' possessions.

Santa Ana when ho gave us those strips might have just as well giv en us all the rest, and saved the two governments another war or two. Spain when she sold Florida, would have done just as well had she thrown Cuba into the bargain, for we'il have it, end all she'll go for it will be musket bulls. Se-nor Aranda, in 1783, foresaw this, and were he novv alive and administering the affairs of Spain, he would, like 'Japiain Scott's coon, come down gracefully, and not make himself ridiculous by throwing obstacles in the way of our Manifest Destiny. That we are to have the Sandwich Islands is a fixed fact. France has lost her supremacy there ihe natives are thoroughly Americanised.

They have gone through the preparatory course. All the more striking characteristics of our people are already observable in them. They have emerged from their stale of primitive simplicity, and wear duck trousers, chew tobacco, drink whiskey and steal. The native aristocracy, in imitation of our Kentucky chivalry, also early revolvers and sword-canes. Much has civilization done for them.

Of course the immediate annexation of the Sand" wich Islands is a big spoke in the whee' of ilanifest Destiny, Within a few weeks past, Manifest Destiny has found another opening. Se- nor Jose Barrundia, the accredited Min ister of the Republic of Honduras, to the United States, is at present in Washing, ton, with proposals to annex that Repub lic to ours. As it would make two such states as Ohio, it is large enough to be quite an object especially as they are anxious not lo sell but to absolutely give us theit territory. The propositi is at present tinder consideration. Tne country is very rich.

The most valuable woods such as mahogany, fustic, fcc, abound in great profusion, and would be valuable, were it not for the fact that the natives are too lazy to do anything more than to commence the cutting down of a tree, and, owing to some thirteen different varieties of fever they cultivate down there, foreigners can't live long enough to complete it. The inhabitants number about 300,000 are a mixture of Indian, Spaniard and negro, retaining all the original laziness of the Spaniard, the filth of the negro, and "cussedness" of the Indian. Their color is neither white, red or black, but a mixture of all three, closely resembling the twilight of a hot day. They have one city; but outside of (hat Ihey dispense with panta loons and houses. Pantaloons they feel to be an encumbrance they would build houses, but earthquake! occur in such rapid succession, that whenever they get one nearly finished, one of these pleasant calamities is sure to knock out the underpinning, and down it comes.

Still these little obstacles won't trouble a bit. llooduraa, with earthquakes, mahogany, fever, choleia, Begroee, Spaniards and indiaoa, most come io. will be another step towards fulGlliog our Manifest Destiny. But Mexico and Cuba arc the points at which our Manifest Destiny is sighting. Same Ina is on bia last legs.

He would like to be Emperor, in imitation of Louis Napoleon, but unfortunately the people are not aa much in favor of it as he is. Alvarez ie after him with a shsrp stick.bis treasury is empty, the people dissatisfied, in fact the country is afflicted with the sgoe, and must shake to pieces. When lhat occurs, Uncle Sam will step in and "take up the fragment that none may be lost." Mexico will make a dozen very fine states, and tier people very good Americans, in time, shouldn't be at all surprised to hear of Santa Ana's slumping some district in that country, for Congress, after this happons. As regards Cuba, it is absurd to suppose that she can remain much longer under the rule of an imbecile old monarchy like Spain. It is despotism too near us.

Monarchy, like the last kink in a pig's tail, is more ornamental than useful, and fherooner the continent is free from it, the better. 1 herefore it is our Manifest Destiny to take Cuba. We repeat it, Senor Aranda was right. Uncle Sam commenced on a smnll scale, but he has grown very fast.and not having arrived at his full dignity is still growing. Upward is his only motto.

Whenever he gels "too big for his breeches," and they burst, he takea a patch from some of his neighbors to repair with. Hurrah for Manifest Destiny. 0-Liquor Assayers." The law against he adulteration of liquors, provides that the Probate Judge of each county shall appoint a competent chemist, whose duty it shall be to inspect and analyse all liquors for sale, at wholesale or retail, and pronounce upon iheir puiity or adulteration. We suppose, of course, that the inspector will have to taste all the liquers they inspect. We know several men, in our village, who, if our view of the law be a right one, would like the office, and if the very reddest kind of red noses is any indication of fitness, they are well qualified.

We can't speak with certainty of their being competent chemists, bnt will assert that when it comes to deciding upon the merits of liquor, they are perfectly at home. Road Meeiing. We publish in nnotner column, the proceedings of a meeting, held Saturday evening last The meeting was well attended, a large number cf our most substantial citizens being present, Every one seemed to take a deep interest in the matter, and as they took hold of it as if they mean1 something, we feel confident that he road will be built. Our shrewdest business men have confidence that the road will pay well, and many have expressed their willingness to take stock in it to a large amount. That it will be a benefit lo the place, no one doubts.

Let it then be built. fX?" Chinese Newspaper. friend has handed us a copy of a newspaper printed in the Chinese language, al San Francisco. It ie, like everything else the Celes ials do, a very queer looking concern. Imagine a sheet closely cov ered wiih characlers, black, hideous-looking, resembling nothing but n.iniature gridirons, inverted, and you have an idea of the typographical appearance of the "Golden Hill News." It is designed to be the organ of the Chinese in Califor nia, and will, no doubt, do its share to wards civilizing them.

Rumored Bombardment of Crokstadt. There was a rumor in New York on Saturday that the city of Cronsladt had been bombarded by the allied fleet under Sir Charles Napier. The report came from the office of the London Sun, and it was stated that two mercantile houses in New York had re ceiyed letters by the steamship America, in which allusion was made to the circum stance. It was further stated that three thousand live; were lost in the conflict, and that the town was either taken or abandoned. We give the rumor ior what it is worth.

The arrival of the Arctic, now due, will either confirm or show its falsity. Whether this rumor is Hue or not, we must be in anticipation of auch an event before many days. The spring is now fairly open, and Sir Charles ia now in the Baltic to rake St. Petersburg or lose his reputation. Look out for the Arctic's news I Know Nothing Triumph.

At Bridgeport, there was recently a hotly contested election of a State Re' presentative to supply a vacancy. Philo F. Barnum and a Rev. Mr. Siniat were the candidates.

Commercial College are, at this i at plenty at "leaves in Valambrnwa. Every city baa ooe or more, aad our smaller towns, most of them, can boast of a school for tha instruction of tha young spirant to meicaniile honors. But very few of this number have succeeded in tabhahing anything like a reputation.

Few have have succeeded io imparling a knowledge of the duties of the accountant to that degree necessary to carry the novice through th practical tests of the counting-reom. Among institutions of this bind, Granger's Commercial College, Mansfield, rank deservedly high. Mr. Granger, the Principal, is a thorough, practical accountant, one who has sprnt years at the deck. Understanding as he must the various hranches of mercantile science, his success ss a tescher is not to be wondered at.

He has also in his department, two competent assistants. Mr. G. has recently secured the services of Prof. Tra cy, of New York, author of a series of Mathematical works now in use in our common schools, to lecture belore the students one week in each month.

He will lecture the whole month of August before this Institution. To teachers and business men, this announcement is of much importance. Mr. G. has also se-cured the services of one of the best teacherj of penmanship in the country.

We are glad to see that his efforts to establish a Mercantile College, are being appreciated. Old business men, lawyers, merchants and bankers, are taking courses of lessons at this institution, and all unite in saying that all the praise bestowed upon it is well deserved. We heartily recommend it to these desiring a thorough Mercantile education. C7The following which we clip from the Chillicothe Metropolis, makes an other hole through that awkward attempt at Law-making, the Jitquor Law. So many flaws and openings are being found in it, that temperance men charge the legislature with passing a law, jvhich they knew would be inoperative and use.

less -carrying water on both shoulders- tickling them with a "Prohibitory Law' which does not injure the traffic, and we think they are right. Temperance men have been deceived and disappoin ed, and judging from the way they execrate the authors of the law, they are not disposed lo bear i. tamely. We would like to have the opinion of our legal iriends upon the toitowing: A friend has directed our attention lo a most singular end amusing misuke made by our wise Legislators in fiaming the late Liquor Law, which renders the en actment almost entirely inoperative, prac- ucniiy. ejection nrst declares it to be unlawful to sell liquor to be drank on the premises.

Section second declares it lo be unlawful to sell lo a minor. Section third forbids sell ins to intnvinatpd persQns or habitual drunkards. Section eight fixes the penalty for the violation of the law in these words "For every violation of the provisions of the first. second and third sections of this act, ev-ery person so offending shall forfeit and pay, In consequence of the use of the conjunction "and" instead of "or." it is nei essary the offender shall have violated all three of the sections before he can be punished at all Walker's Partv. About the 7th ulu a parly of tenor twelve of Walker's men came up the Sonora side of the Colorado and crossed the river some forty miles below, the mou of Gila, by means of rafts and swimming.

It is da mej that Burns, after bis escape from slavery, on bis arrival ia Boston, wrote a letter to bis brother ia Al exandria, who is also a slave of Mr. Suttle (ih claimant of Burns,) staling that he was "at work with a ma a named Pitts, in cleaning old clothes. At is the custom in the South, when letters ar directed to slaves, they are de. livered to the owner of such slaves, who opens them, and exsmines their contents.

Such wss ihe rase with Burns letter, and so he wos discovered. 1 his is the slave-holder's story. The abolitionists say it is a conspiracy to kidnap Burns. A writ has therefore been i-sued by Selh Webb, on enaction of tort, for. the recovery of $10,000 damages against Chnx.

By this time two thousand persons had collected, and it wus proposed to batter down the floors, and carry off the prisoner. Accordingly a huge oak beam was procured, and manned by a dr.zen stout fellows, who plungled it against the door until it was stove in.

Meanwhile showers of brickbuts were discharged at the windows. When the doors were opened, the crowd rushed in, but found theoffic.eis prepared to receive them.

Resolved, That, of all tyrants who have ever cursed the eorth, they are ihe most cruel and beastly who deny the natural right of a man to hi own body of fatter to his own child of a husband to his own wife; whose traffic is in human flesh and broken hearts who defend chattel slavery as a divine institution, and who declare it to be their unalterable purpose indefinitely to extend and forever to perpetuate Iheir infernal oppression.

Resolved, That, as the South has de-. creed, in the late passage of the Nebras--ka bill, that no faith is to be kept with freedom so, in the name of the living God, and on the part of the North, we declare that, henceforth and forever, no compromise should be made with slavery. Resolved, That nothing so well becomes Fanueil Hall as the roost determined resistance to a bloody and overshadowing despotism. Resolved, That it is the will of Got lhat every man should be free we wilt as God wills God's will be done Resolved, That no man's freedom safe unless all men are free.
