In consequence of information as to expeditions being fitted out against Nicaragua and Tamaulipas, strict instructions have been issued to all officers to employ all legal resources to pre vent the departue of such expeditions.

The points of departue are believed to be New York, Mobile and Usew Orleans. Arrival of African Apprentices. From Guada loupe we learn that the first cargo of African laborers had arrived by the ship Phoenix. She left the coast of A"frica with 296 ou board, and lost 14 on the passage, which lasted 39 days. The administration of Guada loupe had been informed by the minister of marine that " two drips, belonging to the house of Regis, the Stella and the Clara, were about to sail from Marseilles, to re cruit on the west coast of Africa the 1,200 or 1,500 em igrants that house had undertaken to supply in the course of 1857." Beats the Yankees. A friend went to visit one of our most estimable and industrious farmers the other day, to witness the result of an experiment in making syrup from the Chinese Sugar Cane. He found him pounding up the stalksjn a cider though, while the press stood hard by. Not far away, were suspended over a brisk fire out of doors, two iron pots. The stalks well mashed, were put into the press, and the juice flow ed freely when the lever was applied. The operation was a quick one. Into one of the beforenamed pots apple-dumplings were cooking for dinner. Into the other the juice was poured. When the dumplings were ready to be taken up, the juice had boiled to the consistency of a good syrup. Both wxtc put on the table together for a desert, and so our worthy countryman had a better sance, 1 the result of a little labor, than he could have bought in town for mon ey. Who will say after this that every fanner may not raise hi3 own "sweetning," just as our old time-folks used to manufacture their own cloth for wearing' apparrel and household purposes ? Who will not say that this example is worthy of imitation, by every farmer who would be independent, both in mind and purse ? r . ; . , .

We give further details of the late deplorable disas ter, involving the loss of so many valuable lives and so much property. We are indebted to the Portsmouth and Savannah papers for these items. It will be seen that the greatest blame is attached to the Chief Engi neer of the Steamer. The Central America, formerly the George Law, was a regular mail steamer, valued at $300,000, uninsured. The treasure was covered by open policies in London and in New York. The bills of lading and all other papers went down with the ship, and some weeks must elapse before the duplicates can be received from San Francisco. So far as heard from, but 95 of the passengers and crew have been saved. BY THE " ELLEN " AT NORFOLK. The steamship Central America, W. L. Herndon, U. S.

The brig Marine, (supposed to be of Boston) although in a disabled condition, succeeded in rescuing from the ill-fated Jn r steamer all the women on board, supposed to be about 26 in numoer, with their children, besides about 20 men, mostly composing the boat's crew. The conduct of the Chief Engineer is said to be the sole cause of this terrible disaster, as the passengers concur in giving great praise to the vessel for the gallant manner in which she rode out the storm to the hour of her going down. Whilst the Captain and crew are said to have acted nobly, the Chief Engineered in one of the boats one hour previous to the ship's sinking. It is reported, however, that the Engineer took off a num ber of ladies and other passengers, whose fate is not certain ly ascertained, though the supposition is that they are pro bably saved. An American schooner ran down to the steamer but did not succeed in rendering any assistance. At the time the Central America sank no boats or sails were in sight, and the 49 passengers of the survivors were saved only by clinging to such articles of the wreck as were washed from her, in which condition they were left to the mercy of the waves for 10 or 12 hours, until their deliverance. At 1 o'clock on the morning of the 15th inst., the Norwe gian barque Ellen, Capt. A. Johnson, from Balize, Honduras, bound to Falmouth, Eng., passed near the scene of disaster, and answering to the crie3 of the floating survivors, finally succeeded, after a search of several hours, in rescuing 49 persons, which she brought in to-day. It is supposed that the following are all the passengers out of 615 souls who have survived the disaster : Capt. Thos. W. Badger, (lady on brig Mariner) San Fran cisco, Cal. A. J. Gaston, (lady on brig Mariner) San Francisco, Cal. R. F. Brown, Sacramento. O. Harvey, Playsville. Wm. Birch, San Francisco Minstrels, (lady on brig Marin er) San Francisco, Cal. J. A. Forrister, Murphy's, Cal. Oliver P. Manlove, Grant county, Wisconsin. J. B. Clark, Polk co., Mo. John D. B. Ements, Oregon City, O. T. H. T. O'Coner, (mother on brig Mariner) Albany, N. Y.

Total 49 passengers saved, on board Norwegian Bark Ellen. It is to be hoped that some palliating circumstances may be elicited when time shall have elapsed sufficient to clear up this matter, in regard to the Chief Engineer's desertion of the ship, and to his singular conduct previous to that de sertion. It is said he acted the part of a coward in desert ing hi3 duty, when there was no earthly necessity for such conduct, and at a time when a little nerve would have saved the ship and brought all in without harm. The vessel was in a strong sea-way at this time and labor ing very heavily in the trough of the sea, and it is believed if the Chief Engineer had have kept up the steam so the steamer could have worked, she would have worked out of her difficulties, but in this critical moment he neglected to do his duty, and the steamer was rendered entirely unman ageable. Great-prise is due Capt. Johnson and his crew for their noble and humane conduct in the rescue of the survivors of the ill-fated Central America. They all accord in rending their heartfelt thanks for their efforts to render them every assistance in their power before and after their rescue. One incident connected with this heart-rending catas trophe, is said to be : that the Captain of the Norwegian Bark, sometime previous to finding the survivors of the steamer was on hi? deck, and a bird flew in his face three times when he made an alteration of three points in his course, by which means he was made the happy instrument of saving the lives of the 49 survivors. Additional of the Central America. Savannah, Sep. 18. Henry II. Childs, one of the passengers above named, makes a statement as follows : The Central America left Havana on Tuesday, the 8th, with delightful weather? which had been the case from Aspinwall. During the afternoon a fresh breeze sprang up, and on the next morning amounted to a gale, which continued to increase throughout Wednesday, and for part of the time accompanied with heavy rain. On Thursday the gale changed to a hurricane, and the sea was rolling very high. This storm continued, and on Friday, about 11 A.M., it was well known to the passengers that the vessel had sustained a leak, which threatened to fill rapidly. All hands were put to the pumps, in relief parties, and for a while gained so far as to allow re-kindling of fire in the engine room, which had been quenched by the water. This gain was soon lost, and the fires again extin guished. The work of bailing went on over the ship throughout Friday evening and night, the passengers and crew keeping good hearts and hoping that with day light they would speak some vessel. About 2 P. M on Saturday, the storm abated and a calm ensued, and this continued the hopes of all, and nerved them for the work of bailing. At 4 P. M., a sail was announced, and the steamship fired signals and displayed colors at half mast ' This proved to be the brig Marine, of Boston, which , came up and spoke so as to receive our report, and then laid off a mile.. The steam Ehip had bat three boats left, i to which all the. women and children were put, and transferred to the brig. Later in the evening another sail was seen fast approaching. ' . i ! " ! . Captain Bebitdoh reported his condition, and asked ayu. Mi III M n4 NO. 4. him to lay alongside. A favorable answer was returned, but instead of approaching the vessel passed out of sight. At 7 P. M. it was found the steamer could not hold out much longer, as a heavy sea then swepffcver for the first time. Life preservers were distributed, rockets fired, and soon after the vessel went down, leaving at the mer cy of the waves, from 400 to 450 persons. The sea was then calm, and we all kept together, and cheered each other as well as the stoutest could. We thus kept to gether, I think, for two or three hours, nearly all being preserved so long, except those who could not swim at all. Exhaustion then began to overcome one after another, and I saw them going down around me. At 1, A. M., Saturday morning, I was nearly alone could here shouts of a few survivors, but could see none. About 2 o'clock, A. M., as I reckoned, saw a vessel at a distance of a mile or less took fresh courage and swam towards it reached it in last efforts of exhaustion, and was drawn up by ropes. It was a Norweigan barque from Balize for Falmouth. I found on board three of my comrades, survivors, and before 9 o'clock we had 49 of them in all which arc all I know to have been rescued. We kept near the place, and in anxious watching un til we believed all living had been picked up. and then made sail, the barque being short of provisionr, and the crew living on gruel. We found a little tea and coffee also. At noon on Sunday, we spoke the American barque , which supplied provisions, and took on board the five survivors brought to this city, whose names are : B. II. llidley, Maine ; Joshua Howe, San Francisco ; Samuel W. Looke, Maine ; Adolphus Fredericks, San Francisco, and II. M. Childs, New Yfork. The Nor wegian barque set sail for Charleston, or first port, with the rest of the survivors. The names of these I can now recall, are : Capt. Badger, of Baltimore ; Frazier, second officer of the steamer Central America ; Ii. F. Brown, Sacramento ; Billy Birch, of the San Francisco Min strels ; A. J. Easton, San Francisco ; Fletcher, of Angusta, Me.; ten deck hands and ten galley hands are also included, and some children (?) whose mothers were in the first boats despatehcxl. Three men, Priest, Long Island ; Thos. Payne, Stamford, Conn., and J ones, also got on the boats which took off the women and children. A Paris letter writer gives the following : " Your readers may perhaps be curious touching the following details, for which I can vouch, and which con cern M. de Moray's conduct upon his return from Rus sia to France. He had no salary for his mission as am bassador extraordinary, nor would accept any ; but said he would be satisfied if his expenses only were paid. Y"ou will see, however, that he did not calculate amiss in so doing. His expenses he made amount to l,G0O,OO0f. (64,000 sterling !) which were directly paid him ; be sides which he sold off, in Russia, everything that had belonged to his mission ; his furniture, horses, carriages, plate, &c, keeping back only a magnificent surtout dc table in silver gilt that had cost 80.000f. During one of his first visits to Count Walewski, M. de Moray ob served that he had not sold his surtout, because he thought it might be useful for gala dinners at foreign office ! The minister replied that he should be obliged thereupon to consult the emperor, and M. de Moray pro posed to consult him himself, which he did. The emper or's answer was, 4 Y'ou had best keep the surtout for yourself!' So, after all, M. de Moray's system of hav ing no salary is none so ill advised. Here he is, after ten months' absence, in the receipt of C4,000, paid down upon accounts sent in by himself; possessing, moreover, the sums for which he has disposed of all he had taken to Russia, (some objects, such as pictures, having sold very high,) and receiving, as a gift over ami above all the rest, a surtout for Instable worth SO.OOOf." Launch of the Great Eastern. The Canadian (Loudon) News of the 2d instant says it is authorized to state that the Great Eastern steam ship " will be launched in the first spring tides of next month, (October.) The day is not as yet absolutely fixed, but this important event will probably take place on Monday, the 5th of that month. The tides will bn highest ou that day." The same journal describes with minuteness a route of pleasure travel through the United btates to Chicago and St. Louis, and which is extended on the European continent to Germany and Switzerland, for which " Great eastern tourist tickets ' are to be provided : " This tour can be accomplished (say) from New York and back in about eight weeks, including two pas sages across the Atlantic ; but to those leae pressed for time it can be advantageously extended to from eleven to thirteen weeks. The cost of a first-class tourist ticket for the whole excursion of a little under 9,000 miles will be about 50 sterling, or (say) $280. " Arrangements are also in progress for a more ex tended tour, which, in addition to the foregoing, and at an increased cost of about $100, will probably comprise Naples, Rome, Florence, Genoa, Turin, and Milan, to gether with the passage across the Alps by Simplon." Naval. The number of men in all departments, now employed in the Brooklyn Navy Hard,' is 1,740. The foundation for the new building for the Bureau of Provisions and Stores is all excavated, and a considerable portion com plete. It is to be, 300 feet long by 160 feet wide, and like the other buildings, two stories high. The new purchase is nearly all filled up and the sewers nearly all completed. The filling in of the plot for the main bar racks is progressing. The sloop-of-war Vincennes is being fitted for sea, and could be got ready in two weeks if necessary. The store ship Supply is also being overhauled and refitted. The frigate Savannah is in the Dry Dock repairing, two months more will suffice to finish her. The artesian well progresses favorably. At the depth of 28 feet a large supply of water was obtained. A steam pump will be employed on Tuesday to test the volume of water it will yield, ami the water itself will be subjected to analysis to determine its fitness for the yard. There are about 300 men all told, now on boari the receiving ship, North Carolina, viz : About 70 in the crew, 50 mariners aud 1 80 landsmen. Fifty-seven men were sent from the North Carolina, to Boston, on Tues day, for the frigate Merrimac. There is no difficulty experienced in procuring the liest of men, and plenty of them for the service, and Captain Schneck says there is, of late, a perceptible improvement in the character of the men who ship. The Government pays $18 per month, with two months advance, and a bounty for all who ship for three years ; and if honorably discharged, each man at the end of his term of service is entitled to three months' leave of absence, during w hich time his pay goes on if he re-ships. These act as powerful in ducements, and keep the Navy well supplied with choice seamen. This circumstance operates unfavorably upon merchant ships, in respect to the supply as well as to the character of seamen they must necessarily employ. Cap tain Schneck affords the men under his command every indulgence compatible with the nature of the service, and in return he says they all manifest great pride in keeping the ship in the best of order. The bark Evadue, which arrived at N. York from the Chincha Islands, reports that on the Cth ult., in lati tude 6 47 south, longitude 34 west, she spoke the Uni ted States steam frigate Minnesota, from Norfolk bound for China. The Minnesota, supplied the Evadne with provisions. A Son of a Hopeful, Mother. A certain Judge while attending Court in a shire town was passing a long the road where a boy was just letting down tlie bars to drive some cattle in. His father stood in' the door on tlie oppoetie side of the road, and seeing what his hopeful boy was doing shouted out : John don't you drive tlxm cattle in there : I told you to put them in the pasture behind the house." Tlie boy took no notice whatever of the remonstrance, and his father repeated the order in a louder tone, with out the least effect and a third time gave josilive or ders not to drive the cattle in there. The sou didn't even deign to look up, and disoleyed the parental in junction with a coolness which positively shocked the Jndge, who looking at the culprit, said, in a tone ofi of ficial dignity : " Boy, don't you hear your father speaking to you ?" " Oh" y-a-a-s." replied the youth, casting a gbuce at the Judge and then at his parent, u but I don't mind w hat he' says. Mother don't neither, and 'tween she and I, we've about got the.dog so he dont."

Gen. Harrison imme diately took advantage of th:s, and ordered Col. John son's mounted regiment to charge at speed by heads of companies (so as to expose the least possible Iront) pass through the open intervals, and form in the rear of the British forces. This movement was brilMantly executed by the battalion under the command of lit. Col. James Johnson, his brother, Col. R. M. Johnson, at the same time charging the Indians with the other battalion. It happened that in one of the companies under James Johnson's command, there was a huge, brawney fellow, named Lamb ; he weighed about 240 lbs., was a brave man, and as good humored as big, brave men prover bially are. Lamb had broken down his Kentucky horse by his great weight, aud was mounted instead, upon a short, stout, wild, Canadian poney ; from whose sides his long limbs depended almost to the ground, while his bul ky frame rose high above the lieast looking not unlike an overgrown boy astride of a rough sheep. When the charge was made, Snub's jxny took fright, and broke into a run. Lamb pulled until the bit broke in the animal's mouth, and all command of him was lost. The little pony 'stretched himself as to the work, lashed out of the ranks, soon outstripped all the filclead crs and pushed on in advance of the company. Lamb was no longer master of his horse or himself, and he was in a quandary. If he rolled off he would Ik? trampled to death by his friends ; if the horse rushed upon the Brit ish lines with him, so far ahead of the rest, he must be killed. Either way death seemed inevitable; and, to use his expression, he thought ' he'd jist say something they could tell his friends in Kentucky, when they went He stuck both heels into the pony's Hanks and urged him to his utmost sjeed. On they drove, some fifty yards in front of the leading file, Lamb's gigantic person swaying lrom side to side, and his legs swinging m a most portentous fashion the little Canadian " pulling loot all he knew how, his tail strait, his nostrils distend ed, his ears pinned buck, and his eyes flashing from un der their shaggy forctop, with all the spite aud spleen of a born devil. Just as he srot within a stride or two of the British, Lamb nourished his rille and roared out in a voice of thunder : Clear the wav. G d d n vou! for I'm coming !'' To his surprise the lines opened right and left, and he passed through unhurt. So great was their aston ishment at the strange apparition of such a rider, and such a horse-moving upon them, with furious velocity, that they opened mechanically at his word of command and let him pass. So soon as he gained the rear of their position, Lamb rolled on the grass, and suffered his pony to go on ins own road. A lew minutes more, and ho. was with his comrades securing the prisoners.

It the Baltimore Clipper, of Tuesday last, will be found an official report of the proceedings of the "Con vention of American Clubs," which assembled at the "Swan Club Room" in that city on Ihe previous even ing. We clip from that report the following paragraph, containing the euphonious names under which the so called "American" party of Baltimore are rallying for the campaign : " Upon culling the names of the delegates, the follow ing clubs were found to be represented : Tigers, Black Snakes, Stay Lat.es, Plug Uglies, Rough Skins, Hard Times, Little Fellows, Blood Tubs, Dips, Ranters, and Rip Raps." Should not every true-hearted American blush to ac knowledge that any portion of his countrymen glory in such barbaric and degrading name 't Cunningham Babies in Kansas. Not long since the editor of the Herald of Freedom informed the young ladies in Kansas that they could pre-empt 160 acres of land. Some of the strong-mi titled o.ies who were disci ples of his at that time squatted on ditlereut claims in the southern part of the Territory which had lately come into market. The pre-emption law says : " The individual claiming the benefits of said acts must be either the head of a family or a widow, or a single man over the age of twenty-one." These young ludies, not fulfilling either of the require ments, have adopted Mrs. Cunningham's plan of borrow ing babies, in order to swear that, they are the ''head of a family." They generally board them one week and make one dress for the privilege of using them. Young misses of sweet sixteen may be seen at tlie head of a fam ily ten years of age. Missouri Democrat.
