SELECT MALE SCHOOL AT OXFORD, N. C.
T1HIS SCHOOL, which hitherto has enjoyed a high de-
L gree of prosperity, under the conduct of J. H. Horner,
A. M., by whom it was originally established, will be re
epened on the 15th of July, and arranged to prepare boys
for advanced classes in the University.
For this purpose, Prof. A. G. Brown, whose reputation is
well known as a teacher of the Ancient Classics, during the
last thirteen years, at Chapel Hill, will be associated with
the present Principal, and Rev. T. J. Horner will continue
to be an Assistant Instractor.
The School, as thus organized, is designed to be perma
nent, and of the highest grade. As it is divided into a few
classes, pursuing a regular course of studies, considerable
time will be devoted to examination and lecture upon the
subject of every lesson by each instructor in his own depart
ment. Important advantages have been secured by the establish
ment of a literary society, with its library, and an efficient
system of discipline, in which especial attention is given to
the habits and deportment of the young men, when not en
gaged in the immediate duties of the School.
Its location is very eligible ; the climate of Oxford is ex
cellent, and the commodious building, lately ereeted, stands
on an eminence in a beautiful grove beyond the corporate
limits of the town, and near the residence of the Princiral,
and other private families, who will accommodate the stu
dents with board.
Two terms of twenty weeks each, coinciding with those of
the University, compose the scholastic year, and the price of
board and tuition is ninety dollars a term.
Applications should be made as early as practicable, ac
companied with a statement ot the age and -proficiency of
the applicant.

xew York, April 2'J- r. M. ine following are
the demands of the United States upon New Granada.
in view of the late difficulties and murder ol Ameri
can citizens upon the Isthmus :
First. To constitute the cities of Panama and As-
pinwall two independent municipalities and invest
them with the powers of self-government, extending
over the territory ten miles wide on each side of the
railroad perfect freedom of the transit route its
neutrality and liberty guaranteed the sovereignty
not to be changed, and other nations to be invited to
join in the guaranty.
Second. To cede to ihe United States the full
sovereignty of iwo small groups of islands in the bay
of Panama for a naval station, and all rights and pri
vileges reserved in the railroad contract, for ample
considerations.
Third. To pay for the damages occasioned by ihe
outbreak of the 15th of April.
Fourth. The sum to be paid by the United States.
All these demands Granada absolutely rejects, and
claims one hundred and fifty thousand dollars from
the United States for damages done at Panama to
New Granadian citizens by Americans on the 15th of
April, and that the United States owes reparation to
New Granada for the rude protest of Cel. Ward,
dated April 21st, and for the disrespectful letters of
Commodore Mervine and Captain Daily. The notes
of Lou;s Pombo and Gonzales are long, and full of
fale assertions and ii correct deductions.
In the House of Representatives it had been pro
posed to mise a loan 1 1 five hundred thousand dollars
in c.ise New Granada should be invaded by the Uni
ted Staies.
A letter from Aspinwall, dated the 20th, says :
" The alarming aspect of our relations with New
Granada is creating gieat excitement. Immediate
war with the United States is apprehended. The
property holders of Panama had
begun
already to
calculate the chances of loss during the scenes which
may yet transpire befoie the settlement of the diffi
culty. For some weeks they have operly declared
that no negotiations could settle the matter that
theie ceitainly would be a rupture, and the result
would be the temporary posting of United States
troops or. the Isthmus."

The Left-HnmUrt Fiddler. or, Heading offtlie Mnslc.
From the (Porter's) Spirit of the Times.
" InEureme a brass band, and I'll insure your elec
tion," was the musical reply of a " wire-worker" to
a question from an aspiring political candidate as to
the proper means to secure his election. And so
widely, during the last election, was music called in
te aid oratory that this answer serves as a ;ood en
dorsement to the poet's note, that.
"Music hath charms to soothe the savage brast,"
and attraction to "co to the noils and vote earlv."
T he forty-horpe rower of music on elections beinf
thus settled, by common consent, leads us to believe '
that" too much credit cannot he awarded'' (style of
expression sanctioned by usage !) to the Kentuckian
who faced his political opponent's muiic as follows :
Ioth were candidates for the" office of Governor of
Kentucky, and "stumped" the State together qiite
harmoniously until they reached one of the eouutie?
in the "hill country." Ueieit was necessary to
make a decided demonstration, and accordingly
ihe 'two candidates fairly s-proad themselves to
catch all the votes possible seating up on the Amer
ican eagle, and calling down the tdiade of Washing
ton ; pitching out profuse promises, and pitching in
to each others party politics, in a manner deci icdly
relreshing to the hearers. On the first day's canvass,
victory hut. g suspended by the tail-feathers over. ihe
rival forces, but tho secrnd day foil elap into the lap
of the shortest : nd stoutest candidate, leaving his
long and lean -opponent u no kind of a show." In
vain the long man pumped up the waters of eloquence,
and poured out a full stream there was nobody to
drink. Bat round the short man elbowed andcrowdeda
mass of thirsty voters, drinking in his tones with de
light. Why ihis attraction ? Had he a barrel of old
Bourbon? No ; heTiad a fiddle! Getting the start
of the long man he had addressed the voters in a ehort
upeech, and then for the first time bringing out a
fiddle, retired a short distance from the speakers eland,
in order to let his opponent reply; playing however,
such lively airs that he soon drew the mtfre assem
blage away, and left the other side of the question
unattended to, uubeard.
For three days in succession short man and the fiddle
carried the day, in three successive mass meetings, in
as many towns in the hill country, and long man's
chances for a single vole in those parts grew remark
ably slim. In vain a long consultation was held by
the latter with his political friends.
"Get the start of him at the next meeting, and
speak first," advised one.
"liaise a fiddle and play them rhoones !" said
another.
"Yell him down," shouted a third.
The long man followed ihe advice of his first coun
sellor, and got the start in voice, but the noise of the
fidd!e run him Heck and neck; he would have listen
ed to his second monitor and raised a fiddle, only he
knew it would fall thtough, as he couldn't sciape a
note ; and as for his third adviser, he told him that
" yelling down " short man was " simply ridiculous."
Affairs grew desperate with long man, when, on
the third meeting, he saw, as usual, the entire crowd
of voters sweeping off after short man and his fiddle,
leaving only one hearer, and he a lame one, who was
just about to hobble off after the others.
" Can it be possible that freemen, citizens of this
great and glorious country, neglecting the vital in
terests of iheir lai d, will run like wild men after
cat-gut strings ? Can it be pofsible, I say V And
the lame man, to whom long man was thus eloquent-
ly uiscoursmg, answered, as lie, too, cleared out
" Well it can, old boss !"
Despair encamped in the long man' face, as he
watched short man, at a distance, playing away for
dear life and the gubernatorial chair on that " blast
ed " old fiddle ; but suddeily a ray of hope beamed
over his " ruefui visage," then another, and another
ray, till it shone like ihe sun at midday.
" Got him now, ure !" fairly shouted the long man,
aa he threw up his arms, jumped from the stand, and
started for the tavern, where he at once called a
meeting of his political friends, consisting of the
landlord and one other, then and there unfolding a
plan which was to drive his rival " i o where in no
time."
The fourth meeting was held. Short man ad
dressed the crowd with warmth, eloquence and bre
vity, vacating the stand for his adversary, and strik
ing up a lively air on the violin, in order to quash his
proceedings ; but though, a usual, he carried the
audience away, he noticed that t Ley wore as critical
as numerous. One six tooter, in homespun, walnut
dyed clothes, with wild looking eyes, and a coon-skin
cap, eyed eveiy movement of the fiddle bow, with
intense disgust, finding utterance al last in
" Why don't you fiddle with that t'other hand
o1
yourn
" T'other hand !" shouted mrus of voices. " Fire
up with that t'other had !' Faster played the short
man, but louder and louder shouted the crowd,
" T'other hand, t'other hard !"
"Gentlemen, I assure you
" No more honey, old boss. We ain't bars !'
shouted the man with the :coon-skin cap.
" Pother hand, t'other hand !" yelVd the crowd ; j
while even from the distant stand where the long
man was holding forth to next to nobody" for listen
ers, seemed to come ' a faint echo, "T'other hand,
t'other hand !"'
.Short man began to be elb .wed, crowded, pushed;
in vain he tried to diaw the bow; al one time his
bow arm was sent up to the sl;(;uli!rr over the bridge ;
at another, down went the fiddle, until lie shouted
out
Gentlemen, what can I do but iissnre ye n that "
" T'other hand !'' roired coon skin, shouldering
his way facft up to the slmii man, " WVvo beard
about you ! You fnldle down ilmr in that d d
Bluegrass country, 'mon rich folks, with your right,
hand, and think when you get up in the hills, 'mong

you've cussedly missed it ! Left-hand doin's wont
run up hyar ; tole out your rilit, stranger, or look
out for squalls !"
The short man looked out for squalls, threw down
the fiddle and the bow, oh ! oh jumped on his hore,
anil put a straight liorso tail between him and his
enraged " fellow-citizens "
" It's a fact," says the long man, " my opponent's
being left-handed rather told against him up in the
hill countiy, and whoever circulated tbe stoiy, up
there, that he always fiddled with his right band
down in tht Kluegrass country, headfd ( ft' Ins music
for that can.paign."

At a general term o( tbVSnprenje Court at Oswa

ment of the Oneida County Court,-affirming that of a
justice ot tbe peace; The action was . originally
brought to recover damages for alleged injuriei re
ceived by plaintiff's dog in a fight with a dog or dors
belonging to defendant. :: ' .. ; r- .. . . ..
Judge Allen delivered the opinion in the case ind
it was concurred in by his associates xm the bench.
Justices Pratt & Bacon. We copy from, the opinion,
condensing somewhat; : . . ' . ; '
This is the first lime I bave- been 1 called updn to
administer the law in the case of a pure dog fight,
or a fight in which the dogs instead of the owners
were the principal a .tors.'
I am constrained to admit total Ignorance of the
code duello among dogs, or what constitutes a-just
cause, of offence and justifies a resort to arms, or
rather to teeth, for redress ; what violation of the
rules of etiquette entitled tbe injured beast to insist
upon prompt and immediate satisfaction I know not,
and am glad to know that no nice question .upon the
conduct of the conflict on the , part of the principal
actors arises in this case. ;
It is not claimed upon either side that the strug
gle was not in all respects dog-like and fair. In
deed, I was not before aware that any law, human
or divine, moral or ceremonial, common or statute,
undertook to regulato theee matters, but supposed
that this was one of the few privileges which this
class of animals still rotained in the domesticated
state; that it was one of their : reserved rights,- not
surrendered when they entered into and became a
part of the domestic institution, to settle and avenge,
in their own way, all individual wrongs and insults,
without regard to what Blackstone or any other ju
rist might write, speak or think of 'the rights of per
sone,' or the rights of things.' I have been a firm
believer with the poet in the instruction, if not semi
divinc right, of dogs to fight, and with him would
sav,
" Let dogs delight to bark and bite,
For God hath made them so," &c.
The evidence is slight that the dog died in conse
quence of this fight. But as this question is left in
doubt by the evidence, the judgment of the justiee
is conclusive as to 'the cause of the death, I can,
however, see no just grounds for tbe judgment It
can only bo supported upon the broad ground that
) when two dogs fight and one is killed, the owner
can have satisfaction for his loss lrom the owner of
the victorious dog ; and I know of np such rule.
Tbe owner of the dead dog would, I think, be clear
ly entitled to the skin; though some,, less liberal,
would be disposed to award it to the victor, and this
rule would ordinarily be a fair equivalent for the
loss ; and with that, unless the evidence differ mate
rially from that in this case, he should be content.
The judgment of (he County Court is reversed.
Capture of an American Slaver. Horrible Scene on
Board.
We learn from the Kingston Journal that, on the
19th of April, H. B. M. brig came into St. Ann's
Bay, having in tow an American schooner with 373
slaves on board, from Africa bound for Cuba. The
name of the schooner is not given. Great excitement
prevailed at St. Ann's in consequence of this affair.
It was rumored that another slaver was off the coast
from Africa, and a British steamer had started in
pursuit. ;
On boarding the schooner a horrible scene present
ed itself. The captives were in a most wretched
conditionall of them were nakedand a majority
of them on the verge of starvation ! They were
packed very closely together, and covered with ver
min, and it is stated that 137 of the miserable cap
tives had died on the voyage.
Another account says :
The slave schooner has two decks, and between
the captives were packed in such a manner that they
had scarcely room to move. During each day ef the
voyage they sat in a painful posture, eighteen inch
es only being allowed for each to turn in, and in
a deck-room 30 feet in length 300 human beings
were stowed away, and brought up in platoons once
every day to get a small portion of fresh air. The
schooner d:aws but six feet of water, is of gieat
breadth, and flatbottomed, and was thus built to
cr.ablo her, in case of pursuit, to run into a port
where there is not much depth of water. The in
terpreter states that when slave-tradiflg captains can
not escape cruisers they make their way to a parti
cular point, of land on the Cuban coast, run the ves
sel ashore, and leave the slaves to perish. The place
alluded to is surrounded with rocks none but flat
bottom boats can get in and the whole of that por
tion of the coast is blanched with human bones.
It was also ascertained through the interpreter that
several vessels wero left on the African coast that
Lthey were soon to have sailed with full cargoes that
upon an average two vessels departed weekly, eaoh
with 500 to 700 slaves on board that the trade was
(rapidly increasing and that the slaves on being
lanuea in Cuba wero worth lrom suu to eacn.

The Arrival of Mrs. II. llcecher Stowe In Rome
Scenes attendant on lier advent, Ac.
Rome, April 2d, 1857.
The event of the day is the arrival here of Mrs.
Harriet Beecher Stowe. The contrast between the
circumstances of her arrival in Rome, and her trium
phal reception at the Dutchess of Sutherland's will
bring a smile to many a Scuthern lip.
It t-cems she had engaged, through a friend, apart
ments in the Via Maria de Flore. The Pndrona was
notified that she would arrive on a certain day, and
due preparations were made to receive her, but the
steamer from Marsailles to Civita Vecchia, in which
she had taken passage, broke a wheel, and farmed
at the latter place exactly one day behind time. But
her troubles had only began with this accident. Be
tween Civita Vecchia and Rome, her veturino broke
its wheel and instead of 8 o'clock in tho evening,
it was near 4 Ihe next morning, before she and party
entered the eternal city on three wheels and a fence
rail. Repairing in this plight to their quarters, they
f found all dark and silent, and by no amount of exer
tion at bell and knocker, could they succeed in arous
ing their drowsy host. The driver of their velurino,
instigated by his previous misfortunes, declared his
contract fulfilled and insisted on their quitting his
vehicle instanter As an act of humanity, he drove
them to the vacant space in front of the Piazza de
Spagna, and having deposited their effects in the cen
tre thereof, compelled them to alight. Here they
were discovered in the gray dawn, by a party of
Ameiicans who chanced to pass that way.
Mrs. Stowe formed the centre of the group. She
was elevated several feet above thejsurrounding fig
ures, reclining on the top of a large brown leather
trunk, with a dilapidated bandbox under her head,
having her feet wrapped in a gentleman's snuff color
ed cloak. Her attitude and position were striking,
and perhaps the best possible for catching ithe first
glimpse of the comet or making astronomical obser
vations. Her sister, Mrs. Perkins, reposed beside and
below her. Two gentlemen, with crooked hickory
sticks, guarded the Divinities against the attacks cf
the dogs and the importunities of tbe Lazzaroni. One
of the discovers mischievously eeouraged the curs.
whilst another addressed the beggars. He assured

Signorina being famea :or generoej iu everj pcu-

slant effect of increasing tenfold the number and im
portunity of the beggais, and consequently the noise
and excitement of the dogs. My informant, however,
is not able to say whether the Laxzaroni were en
riched by their applications:-
