" A fire has been raging In the piney wood be tween Wllnii-ftoasnd the Sound for several days. On Sunday the wind blew fresh from E. N.

THE IST;nMUSOF"DABIEN., The Ithmn is becoming a subject of great in terest to this country and other parts of the mar atime world. The Ust Congress appropriated twenty-flve thousand dollars for the purtose of xplorations and Teriflcatlon of the surreys al ready made of a hip canal near the Isthmus of Darirn, to connect' the waters, of the Pacific and the Atlantic by the Alratoand Truando rivers. The officers for this service are to be selected by Ihe Secretary of War. The Cincinnati Timrs gives tho following in teresting details in relation to the scene of opera tions:.;: , ' ; , , '''' "The Isihmns of Darlen, or as it is more com monly styled, the Isthmus of Panama, connects North and South America, and Is principally comprised in the Republic of Granada- On the" northern aide ! the Carribean sea and the Gulf of Dark-n ; on the south Ihe Qnlf of Panama. In length the Isthmus proper is about two bnndred mi:es, with an average breadth of forty miles; but iu longitude 79 3 it narrows down to less than thirty niilvs. At this point it is proposed to establish tho ship canal. The country is un dulating with chains of small mountain', but very fertile and well timbered. The expense of a com m dious ship canal, say thirty miles long and two hundred feet wide, would not be less than fifty millions of dollars. England, France and Holland are anxious to aid in the work, and be come juiut owners with the United States. When It is considered that one half the world's com merce would in all probability pass throngh thi canal, tho expense sinks into a mere trifle. All he India and China trade, instead of doubling Cape Morn, would find passage through the canal. It should bo free to all nationa who assist in the construction by money or credit," THE WESTERN RAIL ROAD. We publish on our first page a short account of the proceedings of the Stockholders of the Wes tern Ruil Road Company, recently held at Fay ettcrWo. We would gladly publish the President's Report, but its ;reat length prevents it. Mr. Mlli.tt says in his report: :" The report of the Treasurer niaikcd A, shows 'that the wh lo amount subscribed to the capita! stock is (241 212 19. It also shows the amount subset ibid and tho amount paid by each stock holderand it is to be regretted that his list shows so many delinquents. The whole amount is now duo, tho work la going on and money is Teqiilrnl. It is hoped and believed that those who aru behind, will Immediately como forward and pay up. , 1 Th report of the Treasurer marked B, shows the pnscnt condition of the Company, from which it will be seen that since its organization 91.335.02 has been expended. "The' Board congratulate you on the removal of some cf tho chief obstacle in the way of our progress. First, stock-jobbing stockholders, who controlled the company ; second, bogus Rail Road builders, who fur a timo d'd the same ; third, the hope of State aid which paralired cur energies by making us believe that Hercules would help us, when wo were not trying to help ourselves. 1'hcfce are now out of the way, and we know and feel that we are to do the work ourselves. We can do it and wo will." Tho report recapitulates the adranlagcs to bo derived from the road, when completed, speaks confidently and we trust truly of the prospects of accotnplihing it.' He concluiks as follows: ' We have an abiding confidence that theso an ticipations will soon be realized; for, by oura mcoded Charter Counties can Subscribe. We have callad npon Cumberland to. take 100,000. And j nd. in; from the views expressed; and the prompt and unanimous action taken by the Magistrates in ordeiing an election ; thero can be no doubt about the subscription being made. "And if Cumberland comes to the rescne and puts her shoulder to the wheel we are safe.

Tint done, wo can hare no difficulty in negotiating our bonds for the superstructure and rol'ing stock. The prospects of our road both as to business and profits, will secure for our bonds a ready sale. And the large dividends sro can earn will soon enable us to pay them oft", and will leave us with a property that will pay 0 instead of 26 per cent. Let us then puth on the work with vigor, and accomplish what has not yet been accomplished fn North Carolina without State aid. 7 ' . C B. M ALLETT, President. OUR RELATIONS WITH PARAGUAY-SAT ISFACTION DEMANDED. The N clonal Argtntino, of Parana, contains .an official correspondence between Mr.Marcy and Sr. Vaeqtipx Secretary of State of Paragnay ; also between Col Fitzpatrick, American special agenl, and Sr. Vasquez, In reference to the treaty between tho United States and Paragnay. It appears the U. S. Senate made some thirty-two trifling corrections. In tho original treaty, by tho carelessness of Mr. Pendleton, onr republic was styled "the United Ssates of North America, a title which our government has never used. The tiilp ' North American U ion," is also In terlarded in tho treaty, and, ofcooiso, could not be allowed by the U. S. Senate. Col. Fitzpat rick explained to Sr. Vasqnex that tho title, " The Uiile f Slates of Amrrua" was tho only constitu tional name of this republic, and no other could bo used In official documents; but the stupid Paraguayan despot chose to hare his own way. Er. Vannuvx. ia a letter to Mr. Fhzpatritk, de mands In a rocy peremptory tone, to know If the United StaUe intends to render satisfaction to Parsnav for "the scandalous hostilities of the command, rs of the Water Witch, a U.

The treaty waa, ot coarse, refused assent, be cause of the grievances alluded to by Vasquez. ARRIVAL OF UlE STEAflJERLPS. FOUR DATS LATER FROM EUROPE. Bostoj, March 20.

The dates from Hong Kong are to the 15th of January. There had been no further operations againat Canton. AH the Chinese had been ordered to quit the service of the foreign residents and return to their homes, nnder the penalty of the destruction of their relatives remaining at home. Consequently nearly all the Chinese servants left their situa tions. P: . . ' . -'v . ' Letters received at Hamburg say that private advices fiom Hong-Kong were of tho most alarm ing character. The bombardment of Canton had excited the Chinese to a general movement ' a gainst tile-foreigners, and the populace were be ginning to show unusual courage, creating great apprehensions. The movement was not confined to China alone, tot had spread to Singapore, where the foreign residents had been obliged to arm againat street attacks from infuriated Chi nese and Malays. Another letter received at JIamburg says that tho fire in the suburbs of Canton sprea I until the whole city became one sheet of flames. Official dispatches give the detarrs of an at tempt at Canton of the Chinese to retake Teeto tum fort, and of an attack made on the British ships by a vast number of Chinese junks. The attack was well concerted, being made at low water when the large ships could not manoeuvre' but it was brilliantly repelled. Admiral Seymour bad abandoned the Dutch Fort and Rectory Gar dens and strengthened his position lower dowu the river. Recruits were expected from Singa pore. , All the western suburbs of Canton were burnt on tho 12ih of January by the English. A large fire had occurred inside the city.

C , March 20, There are now tan daily trains running on this road, and it, is admitted by all who have any ac quaintance with it, that .it is decidedly the beat road in the State, and yet strange to say, that al though it paases throngh a rich and beautiful country, it is but little used by the travelling commnnity, and has, as yet, only served to trans port !fhe rich and varied products of the country throngh which it passes. Why is not the N. C. Rail Road more traveled over, is a question which we frequently hear asked, and to which no one seems able to giro a satisfactory answer. One main reason, we think, of the small amount or travel, is the fact that but very few, comparative ly speaking, know there is such a rosd in exis fence. We conversed with a very intelligent gen tleman, from Lincoln county, a few days ago, who was just on his way from the North, and whoaaid scarcely any one oat of the Stale knew that the road was finished. Such being the case, would it not be well to advertise a little more, and have agents at certain points in South Carolina, Virgin ia and other places, whose duty it should bo to inform the public of tbe completion of the road, and the facilities and superior accommodations which are afforded on this route. We think a small outlay in this respect would pay. The com munity always look forward with a great deal of anxiety to the formation of a cabinet of the in coming Preaident. and judge of the policy of the rimlnfeiratioD. bv the constitutional advisers with which, the Execntive surrounds himself and perhaps the travelling community are actuated somewhat in their choice of roads by the charac ter and standing of the directors ; if such ia the case, wo think that large cards containing the nampa of the rireaent directors of the N. C Rail Road, should be hang up in all the principle ho tels throughout the country, for if it could be known throughout the "North sndiSonth who compose tbe present directory, their well known fitness for their station, their great fcicntific at tainments and wide spread fame, would doubtless attract crowds npon the road who now take differ ent routes, and would induce many others to trav el who otherwise will remain at home. .

A ROBBER SHOT BRAVE CONDUCT OF A MERE LAD. - . Several tjmes, of 'late, the residence' of Mrs. Jordy, a widow lady, residing on Canal, between Marais and Villere streets, haa been entered by robbers at night and despoiled of different articles, mostly provisions. The three sons of the lady, be lieving that the house bad been selected by tho robbers as a regular depot of subsistence sat up at night on different occasions .and watched,, but without success. On Monday night, when nobody was on , the watch," the robbers paid another -visit to the house; but they .were pujt.to flighty by a. servant girl giving the alarm. On Tuesday night, at a- bout 10 o'clock, the youngest of the brothers, Os car, a lad of about sixteen, observed two men loi tering in the vicinity in a rather suspicions man ner, lie at once concluded that they were the" robbers, reconnoitering for another for ay, and de. termined to watch for them. On going to bed, he told his mother to wake him up at 3 o'clock, he being satisfied that operations would not be commenced before that hour. He was aroused at the proper time, as requested, and took bis sta tion down stairs, in the dark, armed with a doab le barrel shot-gun, well loaded, and a knife. He had been keeping watch about an hour and a half, when he beard a cab drive up and stop in front of tho house. He next heard two men alight and in another moment they ascended tbe steps and opened the door evidently with a false key and closed it behind them. One of them then sprung a dark lantern and looked up stairs with it, and up and down tbe ball, to be sure that ail was quiet The boy stood behind theUirwayi and the light was thrown pask.him without dis covering hinu , Both the robbers passed within a foot and a half of him never suspecting his pres ence; he says be could easily have killed both of them with bis knife, if he had bad the nerve to do it; but he was all in a tremble, and could do nothing. The robbers entered the parlor and dining- room, looking about dth their dark lantern, and finally opened the sideboard and put out the cas tor and some other articles of silverware on the table. They were talking in a low tone at inter vals, and after the silverware had been set outont the table, the boy beard ono say "How'll we ge tbe dock away 1" The boy then, as he says, be gan to take courage; tbe clock was a very valua ble one, having been purchased by his deceased father, and was much valued 'n the family; he could not think of seeing that go. Stealing tin toe into a favorable position in the dark, he raised hla gun, took deliberate aim, by means of the lan tern, which one still held iu his hand, and pulled the trigger. Unfortunately the gun missed fire, but the snnp. ping of the cap alarmed the robbers, who sptang for the door to escape. As they went ont at the street doer tho boy again brought his gun to bear, pulled the trigger of the other barrel and it went off. The robber clapped his hands to the back of his head and exclaimed "Ob, God !" Jwst then the boy seized him; but tho other robber, who had got into the cab, came running back with an uprais ed bowie knife, and told the boy if he did not let go his hold he would kill bini. The boy at that let go, but clubbed his gnn and gave him a blow over the head with it; this mado him drop his knife and the dark lautcrn; but he succeeded in getting bis wounded companion Into the cab and drove off. Tbe cab had no lights or other sign by which it could be identified, and dashed out Canal street towards tho swamp. The boy shout ed for the watch, but by tho time a watchman arrived the cap bad reached a distance that defi ed pursuit. - ;.v ' This Is the account given by the young man who had the adventure all to himself; and it was corroborated in the morning by tbe bowie-knife and dark lantern which the robbers had left be hind, and by a plentiful sprinkling of blood on the steps of the house and the banquette in front. The knife is a fine silver-mounted affair with a horn handle, and tho mottoes on each side of the blade scratched out. The police yesterday made all possible search for men wounded in the head, but to no purpose. There is little doubt that the tobber was badly wounded. Oscar Jordy is a clerk in the employ of Messrs. C. C. Gaines & Co., on Magazine street. We think both his mother and his employers have good rea son to feel proud of him. THE HOG CHOLERA.

One of the young ladies that visited tbe U. 15 ship Portsmouth the other day, who waa not sup posed to have the slightest knowledge of nautical parlance, asked Captain Doran why the aftermost sail was like a tyrannical mother.
