Terrible Riot on the Isthmus.
The last steamer from the Isthmus brings a
terrible account of n riot nt Panama on the
15th ult.
The express mailsvere destroyed and a
portion of the Panama railroad torn up. A
arire amount of nronertv was plundered by
tho natives. We give our readers the following
excitinrr relation from the Panama Star I
A fearful night in Panama was the night of
Tuesday the 15th of April. X he vesper bells
had lust sounded in tho turrets ol the Lathe
drul but instead of Ave Maria ! there arose up
in the calm moonlight air distant cries and
the sound of many feet rushing through th
streets. What could it be I Ihe church bell
outside the walls tolled the usual signal of lire ;
but nlas ! it was not fire. A dispute we are
told had taken place between an American
passenger and one of tho negro fruit sellers
near tho raiiroau station l tic dark raced
men rushed from every booth and hut as nt
the sound of a tocsin bell nnd congregating in
dense masses. At the gates of tho railroad
station in J'laya rriein the shots increased
and the sound of a multitude of angry voices
could he distinctly heard from within tile walls.
The American Consul rode past and the
Governor was unwillingly dragged to the
Scene of hostility to endeavor to prevent blood-
Shed. The predominant propensities of n race
more inclined to stpnl than to labor were
already excited to a degree of fearful nctivity.
From being already gratified by the successful
plunder of the hotel and storehouses on the
spott murder in such cases is never far off j and
the dead white men now lay about with fear
ful jfnping wounds made by the machette and
the knife. All reason wos drowned out and
curses gunshots and blood were bringing a
simple quarrel to a leartui crisis
Ihe arrival of the notice force which was
called in by the railroad officers to restore order
and protect Ihe station and passengers brought
a Sense of relief and of hope. But alas! these
drilled and armed hirelings of a feeble govern
mcnt to whom is supposed to be entrusted the
public peace and"safety; Instead of ranging
themselves on (he side d neate and uistice.
drew up amid their Infuriated countrymen and
race; and on pretence of repelliii? some shot
probably from some assaulted American father
of a family within the station cdnirrlenced
hle-hring at the sound of the bugle riddling
the railway officers with musket balls killing
or wounding those who happened to be within
the women and children esenninir from the
opposite side from (he oblique course of the
hull. All this time plunder and murder to a
t'earfui extent was going on. The company's
store-rooms were broken into and sacked the
passengers' trunks were cut open nnd rifled as
well as Ihe pocKets nnd bodies of the dead and
dying passengers. The fenrful scene like a
conflagration only stopped in the night when
(here was no more that could lie robbed.
Next morning the writer of this went down.
The scene was awful. The streets approaching
the station among the negro huts were sirevv-
ed with cut open trunks and heavy coils of
rope Irom the shores. Ihe doors and tables of
the ticket office were smeared with blood or
blackened and torn up by closely discharged
muskets -the ball leaving a track across the
boards ere it buried itself after having traver-
sed the body of the unfortunate whose blood
lay coagulated on the floor. In the large
room there lav twelve boxes each containing
n dead man. The last was just being nailed
up as 1 entered nnd he could not be distin-
guished from blood.
Where the hends of these. poor fellows rested
there were the pillows with a pool of blood
and brains in the centre. The agonies un-
speakable of death had passed and now on a
cart each one was taken to art unknown
! grave.
Fathers husbands brothers midway be-
tween the country they had left and the coun-
try they sought all had found a bloody un-
timely grave. Shunning tho doubtful Nicar-
agua transit the most of them were probably
enjoying the moonlight cene of the Bay of
Panama with their families confiding in the
prnleetion of a government which nt least has
had fl little better name than that of Walker's
when the row that terminated their lii-es
began.

Califounu. The following items are copied
from tho latest San Francisco papers:
Henry S. Footo Esq. the know-nothing
nominee lor the U. S. Senate has forma ly
withdrawn his nnme under the plea that the
Legislature will not go into a joint convention
whilst he remains n candidate and intimnting
his belief that such are the behests of (ho
powers at Washington.
A week since strawberries new potatoes
and green peas made their "first appearance
this season." Of course they are not bought
at "unprecedented low prices' but they will
soon come within the reach of all men's pock-
eis. ui asparagus we nnve partaken a month
since and the recent rains have greatly reliev-
ed housekeepers in the price of milk; butler
&c. Oregon apples are however still abun-
dant at the moderate prices of 25 cents all the
way up to $2 each !
A. A. Cohen whose connection with Adams
of Lq.s aflitusi ns receiver is n matter of
unenviable notoriety. He is still in prison.
His bail was reduced b" the court to $150000
but thus far he has not'becil able to find accep-
table securities.
The winter if winter it may be called may
be said to be over and to use the quaint lan-
guage of a friend we are about entering upon
the monotonous days nf fine wenther ! The
rains however never entirely cease until :he
middle of May.
The bill for consolidating the county nnd
city government of San Francisco which had
passed the lower branch of tho Legislature
was brought back there by snccinl legislation.
and repassed with such amendments ns it is
believed will kill it. It is now before the
Sennte and its final passage considered very
doubtful.
Mingle! .Mingle! The proofs of n thorough
amalgamation of tho nigger-worshippers and
the Know-Nothings in .the free States are mul-
tiplying daily. Tlio late election in Rhode
Islnnd is suggestive. All the Northern papers
agree thnt the defeat of the democracy was
the result of a fusion between die Seward nnd
Know-Nothing parties. The New York Her-
ald srtys:
The election in Jlhodc Island on Wednes-
day resulted in the reelection of Governor
Hoppm the Know-Nothing and nigger Wor-
shippers' enndidnte and a majority of the nom-
inees of those parties in both branches of the
Legislature.
the iev iottf i imes speaks the same
way:
Rhode Island election has resulted in the
triumph of the Americans and Republicans
over Democrats.
The New York Tribune rejoices over the
fusion in the same strain:
I'iiovhiknce April 3 1855. Another gun
for Freedom! Rhode Island seconds the mo-
lion untile by ISew Hampshire. Gov. Hoppin
the American and Republican candidate for
Governor is elected and Ihe Americans and
Republicans have a majority in both branches
ol the Legislature i he mends ot the rierce
Administration made great exertions.
The New York Observer the chief orgap of
the .Presbyterian church says it is true that
more than nine-tenths of the negroes at the
South are still slaves: but is slavery under
christian masters in America the same evil
with slavery under heathen tyrants in Africa?
Degraded ns these slaves may still be compar-
with the sons ot some ol the pilgrims ol New
England or even the mass of laborers in some
ol the enlightened countries in Europe can
three millions or one million negroes bond or
free be found in any part of tho world who
can compare for good condition physical in
tellectual and moral with three millions ol
slaves nt the South? Has Christianity aided
by all ihe wealth of British christie.ns done as
much during the lust twenty years for the ele-
vation ol the eight hundred thousand emanci-
pated negroes in the West Indies (he Briiir.h
philanthropists themselves being the judges of
what it nas done ns the Americans have done
during the same period for the elevation of
our three millions ot American slaves?

Col. Fremont and the Presidency.
I From tho Doiton Atlaa.)
The following letter from Col. Fremont to
Gov. Chorles Robinson of Kanzns hns been
handed to us y the Governor himself with
his consent thnt it should be published i
New York .Monday March 17ili 1S5G
No. 110 Second Avenue.
My Dear Sir: Your letter of February
reached mo in Washington some time since.
I read it with much satisfaction. It was a
great pleasure to find you retained so lively a
recollection of our intercourse in California.
But my own experience is that permanent and
valuablo friendships are most often formed in
contests nnd struggles 'f n man hns good
points then they become salient nnd we know
each oilier suddenly.
I had both been thinking nnd speaking of
you latterly. Tho Banks balloting in ihe
House and your movements in Knnzas had
naturally carried away my mind back to our
one hundred and forty odd ballots in California
and your letter came seasonably and fitly to
complete Ihe connection. We were defeated
then but that contest was only nn incident in
a great struggle the victory was deferred not
lost. You have carried to another field the
same principle with courage nnd ability main-
tain; and I make you my sincere congratula-
tions on your success incomplete so far but
destined in the end to triumph absolutely. I
had been waiting to see what shape the Kanzns
question would take in Congress that I might
be enabled to givo you some views in relation
to the probable result. Nothing has yet been
accomplished; but I nm satisfied that in the
t nd Congress will take efficient measures to
lay before the Americari people the exact truths
concerning your affairs. Neither yod nor I
enn hove any doubt what verdict the peop'le
will pronounce upon a truthful exposition. It
is to ho feared from the proclamation of the
President that ho intends to recognize the
usurpation in Congress ns the legitimate gov-
ernment ; and that the sedition law the test
oath nrid the means taken to expel its people
ns aliens'; will nil directly or indirectly be
supported by the army df (lie United State?.
Your position will undoubtedly be difficult
hut you know I have great confidence in your
firmness and prudence. When the critical
moment nrrives you must act for youself. No
man can give you counsel. A true man will
always find his best counsel in that inspiration
whicli a good cause never fails to give him at
the instant of trial All history teaches us
that great results arc ruled by a wise provi-
dence and we are but units in the great plan.
Your actions will be determined by events ns
they present themselves. And at this distance
I can only say that I sympathize cordially with
you; and that ns you stood by me firmly and
generously when we were defeated by the
ntljifiurs in California I have every disposition
to stand by you in your battle with them in
Kanzas.
You see that wlint t have been saying is
more n reply to the suggestions which your
condition makes to me than any answer to
your leuer which more particularly regards
myself. The notices which you had seen of
me in connection with the presidency came
from tho partial disposition of my friends who
think of me more flatteringly than I do of
myself; nnd do not therefore call for any
nciion frorh us. Repeating that 1 aril really
nnd sincerely gratified in the renewal of our
friendship or rather in the expressions of it
which 1 hope will not hereafter have so long
an interval
I am yours very truly
J. C. FREMONT.
Gov. Charles Robinson Lawrence Kanzas.
A Remarkable Fact.
It is a remarkable fact that most of ihe ureal
improvements which have been projected for
the benefit of mankind have been met at first
with more or less popular odium. It is scarcely
a cpntufy for example since the Legislature
of Virginia passed a Inw inflicting n penally nf
one thousand pounds on "any nnd every person
who should inno ulato for the small pox." The
first power loom nnd the first spinning Jennys
were mobbed by angry artisans. In our own
day prejudices as absurd assail nearly nil great
ndvances in the arts especially those which
have for their bhject the saving; of Ifibor or the
