The Per Diem Question.—The JVa
jtoleon Planter of the 28th ult., says:
Hon. O. H. Oates addressed the citizens of
Napoleon on Tuesday night last, on the per
diem question, which he treated in his usual
eloquent and logical manner. The speaker
labored under the embarrassment incident to
ik. _k__r r> .i n i il. : : i *_
hater on the opposite side of the subject.
This per diem question is fast becoming
an arrant humbug. The people of the
State will send but few, if any, of those
who took pay for services not rendered the
State, to represent them again in the
Legislature. We are of opinion that
neither Col. Oates or Col. Duval will
be enabled to give the people any “ new
light,” as regards this question, by can
vassing the State. Better stay at home
and “ bide your time,” gentlemen.
--
Democratic National Executive
Committee.—The President and Secre
tary of this Committee, by virtue of the
powers given them in the premises, have
concluded to call a meeting of the Com
mittee about the 7th of December next—
formal notice of which will be published in
October. The Committee will fix the time
for the assembling of the Democratic Na
tional Convention, at Charleston, which
will probably be early in May, 1860.
The number of the Executive Committee
is the same as those appointed by the
Cincinnati Convention—one member for
eacli State.
--
The War in Europe.—A Washing
ton dispatch, of the 19th ult., to the Neu)
York Herald, says:
Letters received at the State Depart
ment, brought by the Arago, from Mr.
Dallas, state that strenuous efforts were
being made hy England, in conjunction
with other Powers, to arrest the progress of
hostilities and make another attempt at me
diation. The English Ministry entertain
a strong belief that something may yet be
done to arrest hostilities; and that if a
cessation for a short time could be effected,
the difficulties might be adjusted upon a
basis entirely satisfactory to both parties,
and thus avert the impending storm which
threatens Europe.
Mr. Dallas is of opinion that the war is
too far advanced for mediation; that no
Power or Powers can prevent it; that it
will not be confined to Italy, but that the
whole of Europe will become involved.
The latter is what England fears.
- . . ■» «
From Mexico.—The New Orleans
Delta, of Friday last, says:
wvanirn il/vhr kfT ilia ctaom. I
,- o--O J - —.
ship Tennessee, of the intention of the
Central Government of Mexico to dispatch
a force with a view to make a descent on
the isthmus of Tehuantepec, and possess
itself of the ports of Minitulan and Ven*
tosa, and the Transit route, ought surely
to arouse our government to the necessity
of immediate and energetic interference
for the protection of the rights and inter
ests of our citizens. As our correspondent
expresses it, “ the Miramon government
has now directed its attention to the de
struction of the Tehuantepec Transit.”
■ ♦
Shipwreck.—The American ship Po
mona, Capi. Merrihew, which sailed from
the Mersey on the 27th of April, was
wrecked on the Blackwater Bank, near
Wexford, Ireland, on the 28th. She had
three hundred and seventy-five passengers
and a crew of fifty-two men. Only sev
enteen of the former are reported to be
saved, and three of the latter. All the
others were drowned, the ship sinking in
nine fathoms of water.
---♦♦♦
Italian Volunteers.—Nearly nil the
Italians in London have left for the seat
of war. Among others, Count Monte
merli, who is well known in the artistic
circles of this, capital, we understand, is
about to join the movement which is so
general over Italy. He has issued an ad
dress to his countrymen, and especially to
the Lombard National Guard and the
Tuscan Volunteers, whom he organized in
1848. He proposes the formation of a
legion at Pisa, in Tuscany, to be specially
armed with six-shot rifles, revolvers, and
lances, and to be maneuvered upon a new
principle entirely his own.—j~Loudon
paper.
-—
The War in China.—A correspondent
of the New York Journal of Commerce
slates that the rebels have captured the
great city ©(.Hankow, eight hundred miles
up the Yung-lse-Kiang, which Lord Elgin
recently visited, and which the Abbe Hue
estimated to contain a population of three
millions. The rebels still hold the city of
Nankin, and an immense territory above
it. Still, it is not believed that the insur
gents will ultimately be successful in their
great object—that of throwing off the yoke
or the Tartar dynasty.
rHE EUROPEAN STRUGGLE AND
THE PARTIES. I
The excited condition of affairs in Eu* 1
rope is likely to engage the attention of l
he civilized world for some time to come. j
rwo lending parties to the struggle are •
France and Austria. But others will '
loubtless be drawn into the vortex if a I
dow should be struck. I
France, according to the best authority,
ms a population of over 36,000.000; 1
Paris alone in 1856 contained 1,178,262 ;
iouls. The budget for 1850 showed re
lources amounting to $335,000,000, and
•xpenditures amounting to #835,000,000.

Total.409,092
It has since been considerably increas
:d, and may be put down roughly at some
hing like half a million of men.
Austria embraces all those diverse
latioualities which are clustered around
ind subordinate to the Grand Duchy of
Austria proper, including an area of 257,
153 square miles. The capital, Vienna,
has a population of 579,457. The em
pire is composed of the following provin
;es, with the population according to the
:ensus of 1854:

The army is composed of from 700,000
to 800,000 men, when on a war footing,
400,000 on a peace footing. The N«vy
consists of one ship-of-the-line, (screw
steamer of 800 horse power and 81 guns,)
3 steam frigates, 1 sail frigate, and small
er vessels, in all 135, carrying 852 guns
and 8,707 men.
The State debt of Austria was estima
ted in 1856 at $1,250,000,000. The
budget of 1857 shows receipts ordinary
and extraordinary, of about $150,000,000
and, expenses of $170,400,000, a deficit
of twenty millions.
Sardinia is also an immediate party to
the struggle. The population in 1857
amounted to 5,117,542. The budget of
1858 showed a revenue of about twenty
seven and a half millions of dollars, and
an expenditure of twenty-eight and a half
millions of dollars—the debt being, Janu
ary 1, 1858, $128,500,000.
The army, according to the war budget
of 1858, consisted of 47,915 rank and
file, and the navy numbered twenty-nine
ships, (six steam frigates, four, sail frig
ates, &c.) carrying 436 cannons.
The Lombardo-Venetian Kingdom in
cludes that part of Italy lying north of the
Papa! States, Parma and Modena, and
stretching east from Lake Maggiore and
the Ticino to the Adriatic; 245 miles long,
130 broad, embracing 17.547 square miles.
Lombardy, of which Milan is the capital,
. ... . . • /• it
ana in waicn are me eiues ui uiwua,
Como, Manlua, and Pavia, has a popula*
lion of 2,725,750. The Venetian provin
ces, in about the same area, have 2.281,
732 ; e total of 5,007,472—or 275 to a
square mile.
Venice, Verona, and Padua, well
known cities, are in this division. These
provinces form one of the richest agricul
tural regions in Europe, producing corn,
maize, rice, hemp, and flax, besides wine,
and great products of the dairy, butter,
cheese, and much milk.
But, as already intimated, should a
struggle take place, it will not be confined
to the nations above mentioned. Others
will be drawn in, and the contest is likely
to prove one of the bloodiest that has ever
taken place.—fPhiladelphia Enquirer.

An English Church Praying for
the President or the United States.
There are two or three English Episco
pal churches at Brussels, Belgium, in
Which, in answer to the petition of the
American Legation, the Bishop has or
dered that, in the litany, a prayer should
be put up for the “ President of the
United States.” So says a correspondent
of the National Intelligencer, who was
much affected on first hearing a prayer
offered in an English church for the wel
fare of the President.
Veter an T ypogr aphers.—It is stated
by the Mobile Register, that Robert
McKnight, who is now a compositor on
the Unionville (S. C.) Journal, is in the
eighty-seventh year of his age, and has
worked at the “case” seventy-one years.
He has never been out of South Carolina.
The printers of the Panola (Mi.) Star
were lately visited by Stephen Singletary,
who is in his sixty-ninth year, and has
been a compositor fifty years. We be
lieve he is, also, a South Carolinian by
birth, but has traveled in most of the States.
--» »■»
Rev. B. B. Black, late of Mis
rouri, who had accepted a ministerial call
from the New Hope Baptist church, in
Phillips county, Ark., is believed to have
lost his life by the explosion of the steamer
Saint Nicholas. Circumstances render it
highly probable that he aud his family
were all drowned or burned to death, at a
point within sight of their place of landing,
and within niuc miles of the cud of their
journey.
Horrible Murder.—We announced
he other day the terrible suspicion enter
nined against a certain party lodged in ’
he jail at Prentiss, Miss, it is fully veri- '
ied. The murderer, named Samuel
Hoore, and his victim, David Dunbar,
irother of Hugh C. Dunbar, Billiard Sa
oon keeper on Adams street, were en
raged upon a trading boat down the river
tear Napoleon. Some days ago Dunbar
lisappeared very suddenly, and suspicion
it once becoming rife, attached itself to
pis tomrade, for some cause not yet ex
plained. Moore was seized at Prentiss,
arid incarcerated in the jail at that place,
there to remain until the proper investiga
tion should be made. The J. G. Cline,
an her up-trip, saw a barrel floating in the
water, which the Captain concluded to
save. They picked it up at Gaines’Land
ing, and brought it to Prentiss ; upon open
ing the barrel a horrible spectacle reveal
ed itself. A human body with its head
mashed and cut in a most ghastly manner
as if by repeated blows of an ax or
hatchet. Several persons present identi
fied the body as that of young Dunbar.
The remains were brought to this city last
evening, by the Daniel Boone, for inter
ment.— [Memphis Enquirer, May 21st.
Great Earthquake.—By late news
from South America, we learn that a very
destructive earthquake occurred on the
22d of March, by which the whole city of
Quito was nearly destroyed, aud five thou
sand persons killed. The shock lasted
for about four minutes. The earth open
ed in huge rents, and was heaved up in
tumultuous waves, shattering the strong
est buildings, and laying them prostrate
with the ground. The scene is represen
ted to have been awful; the earth rock
ing, temples and towers tumbling, and the
people shrieking in terror and dismay.
The earthquake extended over a consider
able range of country, but Quito suffered
most. It is built on an extensive plain,
near the mountains, and seems to be situ
ated on the top of a huge subterranean
boiling cauldron, as it has been visited
several times by such calamities. That
city contains about 50,000 inhabitants, and
before this earthquake occurred it contain
ed several very splendid public buildings,
all of which are said to be now in ruins.
—
The Seat or War in Italy.—The
near approach of the French, Sardinian
and Austrian hosts to each other, and the
probability that ere this there has been
bloody engagements fought, will give in
terest to a short description of the seat of
war:
11 It is generally thought that the re
lieving army, admirable though it be, will
find it hard work to drive the Austrians
beyond the Ticino. The key of northern
Italy lies in the comparatively narrow
space, about thirty miles wide., between
the swamps and marshes of the Poand the
spurs of the Austrian Tyrol. Across this
passage run two parallel streams, the
Ticino and the Adige, and upon them are
situated in a sort of quadrangle four first
rate fortresses, Peschiera and Mantua on
the first, and Verona and Lignano on the
second. Throughout this terrific pass of
forlrosses and rivers the French must
march, unless they can turn these defenses
by landing behind them, on the coast be
tween the mouth of the Poand the Trieste
—an undertaking almost as difficult. It
is probable, however, that it will be at
tempted in the shallow waters of Venice
and the neighborhood, by means of the
newly invented gun-boats of Louis Napo
leon.”
-■*-* *•
Three Sets of Dare-devils.—A
foreign letter thus describes the character
of three sets of troops employed by the re
spective combatants in Europe. The first
belong to the French:
A portion of that terrible army of Gen
eral Yussuf, the Algerine sharp-shooters,
have already arrived at Genoa, and taken
the railway to Turin. This corps is com
posed of native Africans, and are reputed
a set of very devils, to whom the Zouaves
are gentlemanly soldiers. Gen. Yussuf,
their commander, is also a native Bedouin.
In the town of Algiers, on their way to
Genoa, they broke loose front all command,
attacked the Jew quarters, carried the
barricades the latter had Deen oongea to
build in the streets for their protection,
and committed all sorts of outrages.
To balance these the Austrians have an
army of‘20,000 Groats, a body ofdesperate
men, who are kept in subjection by the
promise of plunder and rapine. These
men will be marched first across the Tici
no into Piedmontese territory.
Then again, Sardinia has her body of
Corps-Francs, commanded by Garibaldi,
a body of violent men, composed of the
odds and ends of political persecution, a
collection of refuges from all countries,
inspired by political hate and a desire for
vengeance.
Nominations in Texas.—The Demo
cratic convention met at Austin, and made
the following nominations:
For Governor—II. R. Runnels.
For Lieutenant Governor—F. *R. Lub
bock.
For Com. of Land-Office—Francis M.
White.
The Galveston Civilian says, that the
convention to nominate a candidate for
Congress in that district, selected Col. W.
N. Waul. On the first ballot Waul re
ceived 89 votes, and W. S. Oldham 88
votes. On the second ballot Waul re
ceived 120.
--
The Drouth in the Tropics.—The
past season has been as remarkable for
drouth in the tropics as for an unusual
precipitation in the northern temperate
portions of this continent. A letter-wri
ter who has spent the winter in the West
Indies and South America, says :
Never before have the rivers been
known to be so low, and the effect upon
the crops, as it does, after unusually heavy
rains in the wet season, has been in many
places disastrous. And it is curious that
the drouth has beeu more severe as you
approach the southern-most line. In the
Island of Porto Rico the coffee and to
bacco crops will be very light, while in
the Southern States of the neighboring
Republic of Mexico the same complaints
are made. It remains now to be seen
what effect this irregularity of the seasons
will have upon the health of these coun
tries.
BARON HUMBOLDT.
Intelligence has reached us, from Eu
ope, of the death, on the 30th of April last,
>f the philosopher of world-wide celebrity,
Uaron Frederick Henry Alexander
ifoN Humboldt. The Baron was born
September 14, 1769; he was consequently
nghty-nine years and four months old. ;
Fears that his valuable lile would soon
tease have existed for some months, in con-1
tequence of unfavorable accounts brought
iver at various times by the mail steamers;
rut although old age was making its in
roads, the assaults were gentle. A life
rf temperance had secured exemption from
the usual feebleness of age, aud up to the
asl accounts received of him he was con*
inuing, with unabated interest, his import
mt studies, and was daily making additions
:o his deathless treasure of philosophy, and
profound and extensive study, the Cosmos.
The intelligent of every clime under the
skies will feel a pang of grief on learning
that the gifted, amiable, and virtuous
Alexander Humboldt, has gone where even
his knowledge will be as nothing before
the Infinite.
Baron Von Humboldt was the second
son of Baron Alexander George Von
Humboldt, of Prussia, and his mother was
the Baroness Von Holweda. His elder
brother was William Von Humboldt, who
was distinguished as a statesman. Few
men have acquired the reputation as trav
elers which was attained by the subject of
this paragraph. His published accounts
contain so much of philosophy that they
have never become obsolete, his first ones
being still referred to and read with
interest. His active labors as a traveler
commenced near the close of the eigh
teenth century, his primitive design being
to visit and explore the northern portions
/\f A fxlnn • Lait Urt iiinMnd I/a pirpnmolfl ni'di
and if obstacles arose in one direction, he
would take another, always choosing those
routes where great boldness of mind was
a pre-requisite, and where the materials
would afford tf\e greatest scope to profound
scientific investigation. In 1799 he was
upon the Island of Teneriffe investigating
its sublime mysteries. Before the close
of that year he was upon American soil;
first iu the southern portion of the conti
nent, and afterwards in the northern por
tion. lie visited Cumana, Panama, Lima,
Mexico, Havana, Vera Cruz, and nume
rous other places, upon islands, as well as
upon the continent, ascending the highest
mountains, as well as exploring the mine
ral depths which enterprise had laid open ;
in all instances making scientific investi
gations in botany, zoology, geology, and
ethnography. Subsequently he trod the
soil of Italy, England, Russia, Siberia and
numerous intermediate as well as more
remote localities. The result of so much
physical toil and judicious inquiry has
made vast additions to the libraries of
physical science. His published travels
have been voluminous and profound: the
most popular of his publications being
Cosmos, written in the evening of life, in
which he contemplates all created things
as linked together and forming one whole,
animated by internal forces. VVe cannot
read his productions without feeling some
glow of tiie ardor by which he was ever
animated. We see him, iu imagination,
standing on the highest points of the Cor
dilleras, or the Altai, and looking down
into the realms of nature, gazing down
into the depths of the ocean, or looking up
to the expanse of heaven, like an inspired
prophet. His activity makes hun appear
like a sun of science, which sheds its rays
over the whole earth, and everywhere ex
cites, fertilizes, and inspires science.—

Arrest of J. Rigdon Irving.—It has
been, for some weeks past, confidently
asserted that the committee of the citizens
of Jackson, Tenn., appointed to investi
gate the murder of George Miller and the
robbery of the bank in that place, in Feb
ruary last, had fixed the identity of the
guilty perpetrator of the two-fold crime.
It was also generally understood that J.
Rigdon Irving, son of a hotel-keeper at
Jackson, was the individual to whom the
evidence pointed. About the time of the
murder, this individual disappeared from
Jackson, and had not been certainly heard
from until a week or two since, when his
father showed the committee a letter from
mm, uateu somewnere in 1 isnomiugo l/o.,
Miss., where, as he and his father state,
he has been at work ever since his disap
pearance from Jackson. Mr. Irving, Sr.,
passed through this place on Tuesday last,
on his return home from Tishomingo, and
stated that his son had just been arrested
and taken across the country to Jackson,
by some of the citizens from that place,
who had gone after him pt his (the fath
er’s) instance. He also stated that his
son could prove, by citizens ol Tishomingo,
that he had been in their midst diligently
at work for a living, and almost without
money, ever since the 23d of February.
The murder was committed, we believe,
on the 3d of that month.
What will be the result of young Ir
ving’s examination at Jackson, remains to
be seen.—[Quid-Nunc, May 21.
Hungary.—While Austria is engaged
in a war with France and Italy, and near
ly all its resources are exhausted, then it
would be an easy matter for the nine mil
lions of Hungarians to rise and assert the
independence of their country. The hour
and the occasion, so anxiously looked for
by Gen. Kossuth, when he was in the
United States, in 1551, have arrived. The
opportunity can hardly fail to be embraced
by some of the bold Magyars. If the war
should be prolonged, the standard of insur
rection will almost certainly be raised in
Hungary.—[Nashville Union.

Fatal Accident.—The mail-train of
tne Memphis and Charleston Railroad ran
off the track, on the 16th tilt., near Bray's
Station, twenty-two miles from Memphis.
Mr. Alexander T. Rogers, the conductor,
was killed, and the cars much damaged.
The accident was caused by running over
a couple of cows. Mr Rogers was on the
platform at the moment, passing from one
car to another, and was so badly crushed
that he died in a few hours. He was an
estimable young man, and his sad fate is
deeply deplored.
--wEtench General, having taken an op
portunity of expressing a hope to the Emperor
hat he might be employed in the campaign,

will be commands for all -even for me.”
teaF“ A letter to the New York Tribune
