Summary of Atlantic News.   ,
The Bleamship Golden Gate. Captain R. L.

Thursday, Jan. 28th. iu 14 days from Panama.
She brings dates from New York to January 5th,
and dates from Europe to the 19th of December.
The news ofthe breaking up of Walker's expedition created an intense excitement, not only in
New York, but iu Washington, Mobile, and at
other points in the South. The conduct of Coin"
modore Paulding was severely criticised. It is
stated that that officers acted without instructions
in his demonstration agaiust the filibusters, the
only orders being those promulgated some time
since to all the officers of the federal government
to prevent infractions of the neutrality laws. It
is furthermore stated that the administration disclaim and disapprove of the conduct of the Commodore, and that he will be held to a strict accountability.
The movements of the filibusters aud their supporters are the EtbBOrblng topics of the day. The
excitement at the South is up to fever heaf
Meetings to express the public indignation at the
seizure of Gen. Walker, have been called at New
Orleans and Mobile, and recruiting for Nicaragua
is going on actively at those points. A large
force is already enlisted. A body of eight hundred men left Texas oh the 26th ult., to reinforce
Col. Anderson. Whether they will succeed in
reaching their dest nation remains to be seen.
Gen. Walker is still in Washington, where he is
surrounded by sympathizing Iriends, among them
Senators and members of Congress. The Southern
men are enthusiastic in his cause, and preparations are in progress for a discussion on the merits
of his case upon the reassembling of Congress-
Gen. Walker will, it is said, demand indemnity
for his losses, and also that his men shali be sent
back to Nicaragua aud his flag saluted by the
United States vessels of war. It is reported tbat
Commodore Paulding will be recalled.
Gen. Scott is now in Washington planning th*
spring'campaign against the Mormons.
It is said tbat Walker demands of tbe Govern
ment to restore him to Nicaragua and salute his
flag, and that in this demand he is sustained by
several members of Congress from the South.
Washington correspondents have been exceedingly busy within the last few days, telegraphing
all sorts of reports as to the temper and detenu
nation of the administration, touching the recent-
action of Commodore Paulding at Greytown, but
they all seem to agree on one point, that the
President endorses the course of the Commodore,
and that he will not be recalled or court martialed.
The Selma papers announce a destructive fire
at Marion, Alabama. The White biock, including
the Perry House, printing and law offices, and a
drug and bookstore, with several mereaiiti!.houses
were destroyed.   The loss amounts to $50,000.
The holidays passed over very quietly. One or
two sad accidents occurred thiough the careless
use of fire-arms. On Christmas and New Year's
nights, 'he various places of f.tousciHent were-
crowdeu io their utmost capacity. The weather
continues delightful. We have no snow or ice
yet worth mentioning. Business is unusually
dull and a very light spring trade is anticipated.
On the 19th ult., Henry M. Rice and Gen. James
Shields were elected by the Minnesota State Legislature United States Senators,
The Secretary ofthe Treasury has decided that

The barque Wm. G, Lewis, recently captured

not long since, Another bird of tho same feather
is expected at the same port in a few days. It is
said that the coast is lined with the black crafis,
d that since the arrival of the sloop-of-war Dale,
twelve captures have been made.
The First Twenty Years.—Live as long as
you may, the first twenty years form the greater
part of your life. They appear so when they are
dug ; tbey seem to have been so when we look
back to them ; and they take up more room in
our memory than all the year- that succeed them
If this be so, how important that they should be
passed iu planting good principles, cultivating
good tastes, strengthening good habits, and fleeing all those pleasures which lay up bitterness
and sorrow for time to come ! Take good care of
the first twenty years of your life, and you may
hope that the last twenty will take good care of
you.

must have been ultimate; tbat ultimate power
must have been Supreme ; and that which always was and is Supreme, we know by the name
ot God!"

A Western correspondent says : "I attended a
wedding a few days since. Wishing to say something becoming the occasion, I approached the
fair young bride in the course ofthe evening, and
after congratulating her on her departure from
the state of-single blessedness, I wished her a
pleasant voyage down the river of life. She said
she " hoped so, but she was mighty feerd that the
steem bote would bust its biler aud kill them both.
A Legal Inkkrenxe.—A Western lady who has
been studying law has made out the following
brief:—
"Lotteries are illegal, and marriage is the
greatest lottery inlile ;" ergo—ail marriages are
illegal.
Important from Kansas.
Kansas advices of tbe 28th December, had been
received by the Missouri Republican.
Tiie Lecompton Constitution, with slavery, was
carried at the election on the 21st by a largo majority. The returns as yet received are, however,
very meagre. The pro slavery vole at Shawnee
was 705, at Alathe 200, and at Lexington about
the same.
It was reported at Lawrence that a1 body of
Free State men were gone to Lecompton to seize
tbe Territorial arms.
A letter dated Lawrence, 21st, says that Gen
Lane has gone to Fort Scott, with the avowed determination to destroy that place, exterminate
the pro-slavery settlers on the Shawnee reservation, and carry the war into Missouri.
Gentlemen from Kansas report the whole vote
of'Lccomptou as 138, aud the majority for slavery
sixty-nine.
No votes were received in Lawrence, and the
poll books were not opened at Topeka.
The slavery majority in Lexington was thirty.
Nothing bad beeu heard from Leavenworth.
General Denver had atsumed the Governorship
of the Territory, and had issued an addrsss, in
which he exhorted the citizens to appeal to the
ballot-box for the settlement of their difficulties.
He makes copious extracts from the President's
instructions, as indicative oi the line of policy lie
intends to pursue, and also states that General
Calhoun had invited himself and the presiding
officers of both Houses of the Territorial Legislature to be present at the counting of the returns
cf the election on the 21st.
Mr. Pritcliell, hearer of despatches flora Governor Denver to the Government at Washington,
passed through St. Louts lately.
There is nothing authentic from Fort Scott.
A letter to the Republican, says that the Lawrence Convention of the 23d inst., will decide
whether or not to go into the January election
lor State officers. Many favor such acourse, with
a view of crushing the State government. Ex-
Secretary Stanton,'- name was mentioned for Governor.
St. Louis, Dec. 29. 1857.
Leavenworth, Kansas, advices of the 26th inst.,
give the vote of that city as 238 (or slavery and
9 against. Much excitement prevailed, there being many Missonrian. present, some of whom voted
after swearing in their votes., The form of oath
administered was : ''Arc you at this instant an
inhabitant of this territory,"
Several of the Misscurians had been arrested,
and Judge Leeompte had issued writs of habeas
corpus lor their release.
General Calhoun had been burned in effigy.
Ely Moore had been shot in the leg by a German.
It was rumored that Governor Denver had issued aa order for the arrest of General Lane.
St. Louis. Dec. 30, 1857.
Kansas advieesof the 24th instant had been received by the Democrat, aud say that civil war is
raging in Bourbon county. Several conflicts
have taken place between Free-State and Pro-
Slavery parties, and a number of prisoners been
taken on both sides. The United States Marshal*
with a force of eighty men, demanded the surrender of a Free-State party, and the demand was
answered by a volley of musket balls. The (ire
was returned, and the fight lasted an hour, when
the Pro Slavery men retreated with tho loss of one
man killed at d two mortally wounded. The United States Marshal was dangerously wounded.
Gen. Lane was entrenched at Sugar Mound,
and determined to fight the dragoons if they attacked him.   A battle was regarded as inevitable.
Ail exciting debate occurred in the Lawrence
Convention. The committee on resolutions presented three reports. The majority report disapproves of voting for State officers. The first majority report recommends the nomination of a full
State ticket; and the secend, signed by Mr. Red-
path, recommends a participation in the electiou
for the purpose of destroying the Lecompton
Cousjilution ; that no man he nominated who will
edge himself to crush that instrument; that
the Topeka Constitution he submitted to the people, and loyalty to that instrument be made the
test of fealty to the Free-State party ; also, that
the Legislature should repeal the present code of
laws. Messrs. Robinson, Phillips, Conway, Schuyler and Vaughn spoke in favor of voting. Tbe
most radical revolutionary speeches were made.
The election returns came in slowly. Johnson
county gives 2,000 majority for slavery. Thirteen
hundred votes were cast at Oxford. Wyandotte
gives 14 majority agaiust slavery.
Governor Denver had given up tbe Territorial
arms to the militia.
Variour rumors were in circulation relative to
affairs at Fort Scott, but none of them arc ot au
itlioritative character.
St. Loi;is, Dec. 31, 1857.—The Republican
arus from a gentleman who left Kansas on
Saturday last, that the Lawrence Convention adjourned without making any nominations for
State officers. The' matter is not regarded a» disposed of, however, and the presentation of a ticket
before tbe election is deemed probable.
Cinxixxati, Jan. 4, 1858.—The St Louis Democrat says that passengers report that ou Friday,
the 25th ult., news reached Leavenworth that an
snst-getQent had taken place between tbe troops
of Lane at Sugar Mouud, and the dragoons. The
officers ordered Lane to surrender, which he refused to do. Tiie dragoons then charged, but
were repulsed with the loss of three of t.beir number. The dragoons retired, and sent to Governor
Denver for reinforcements. Denver ordered four
companies of dragoons to the seat of war, and it
was expected there would be bloody work.
As soon as the news ol the engagement was received, tbe people commenced organizing, and
were hurrying to assist Lane, and it was exacted
that before the dragoon- arrivd. Lane would be
reinforced to the number of 2,500.
The excitement was intense, and the people of
Lawrence were preparing to take the field. Gen.
Calhoun had fled the territory.
A special dispatch to the Cincinnati Gazette
of this morning, denies that there is any troth in
the foregoing report. Tbe .":t. Lonis agent ol the
ajfociated press has been unable to attend to

from Mexico.
The Mexican Extraordinary, of Wednesday,.
Jan. 12, contains the following :—
Yesterday our printing office was; for a great
part ofthe day, closed, by order of the guard stationed in the calle de la Iiulependencia. This-order, coupled with the firing of shots against tht.'
windows, proved enough to leave our paper Helpless when on the eve of going '.o'press,
The condition of this city lor the past two daya
has been most disreputable for the blazing sun of
tlie nineteenth century. The .vents which have
taken place arc by no means uncommon for the-
M.lory of Mexico. We read and are likewise
told that such things have been enacted before,,
but it is for the first time in our career as a journalist that we now hare to state that for forty-
eight hours this city ha.hold within its walls two
strong factious, both armed and apparently envenomed ngainst each ofher with a deadly hatred..
Since Monday morning tliis capitol has beea-
iu a most dreadful condition, owing to the occurrence of two proiinnciameutos on1 or during the-
previous evening, both contrary to the Flan of
Tacubaya—one in favor of tho ultra Puro party,.
and the other in favor of the recall of Santa Anna-
The latter have the Citadel, the Convent of Santo>
Domingo and the Convent of San Auj-uetfm The-
others have the balance of the city.
As yet no decisive blow has been struck. During yesterday it was expected that a movement
wculd have been made upon the- Citadel by a
coluinu headed by General Comonfort in person..
St-nor Juarez has been set loose- and General
Zuloaga was confined early in the revolt. He waa
with the Santa Anna party,
Yesterday pome firing took place' in the street-,.
in tie calles Santa Isabel, Indepetideucta and oa
the house-tops in the neighborhood of the Convent
of Concepcion.
The condition of things is most deplorable. It
is difficult to Sivy when an improvement will take-
place.
Puehla, January 11th, 1858.
It is currently reported: to-day, and believed^
that on the Gth inst. Moreno and Cobos took the
Convent of Santo Domingo by assault. That they
had adhered to the Plan of Tacubaya and had
been joined by a force from Tehuantepec and part
ofthe Oaxaca rabble. There are additions which-
require confirmation, such as that they had hung
several Deputies aud other high personages. Tbe-
fortifications here are nearly uompleted. The
Conservatives say all differences between the-
President and the interior Slates will be settled!
in a few days. Negrete's forces are in T'ascala
and neighborhood. Alatriste visited theciiyyes'
terday incognito, and got out safely; a bold
stroke, for, had he bceij detected his life would
have been forfeited.
good many people are leaving to join Negrcte.
He sannot muster more than 1,500 men, and to-
besiege Puebla and take it by fair fighting will
require a fcrce of five or six thousand men.
ti- Senators l"
[From Forney's Philadelphia Press.]
Next in interest to this question is lhat of Kansas, the full discussion of which will be found in
another portion of the California Press. The opposition to the Lecompton Constitution is chiefly
in the Senate, by the Senators from California,
Messrs. Broderick and Gwin, by Senator Douglas,
of Illinois, Stuart, of Michigan, and it is supposed
Senator Pugh, of Ohio, Allen, of Rhode Island,
and others on the Democratic side. These, added
to the Republican strength in the Senate, may defeat the Constitution in that body, should it ever
come to a vote. Senator Broderiek has spokea.
very decidedly against it, and Dr. Gwiu has such
personal relations with Gov. Walker, lhat it is beyond doubt he wii! support his colleague.
In the IIoubc, the Constitution will have but
little chance, from present appearances, especially
after the vote in Kansas of the 21st of December,
by which slavery was decided as a part ol the future government of the new State.
Mr. Cox, of Ohio, anew member of great ability,
baa delivered an eloquent speech against it, and
he is expected to be followed by others. It is not
known what position Messrs. McKibbin and Scott
will take upon this issue, thoajgt) it is conjectured
McKibbin will co-operate with the Senators
against the Constitution. The example of California is quoted with great effect in support of
Douglas and Walker
Mr. Broderlek on the ic_ui_«_ Q.ut'«tlon.
During the debate iu the Senate, on the 23d
Dec, on the Kansas question, Mr. Broderick, of
California, said that while he agreed with Messrs*
Douglas and Stuart, in most of their remarks,
there was one point on which he wished to say a
few words. When Governor Walter and Secretary
Stanton went to Kansas, tbey found a state of insurrection existing there, and succeeded with
great labor in restoring peace. Now he thought
the President and his Cabinet were alone responsible for the recent outbreaks. This was the first
time he had known the President to descend from
his high position and attempt to coerce peaceable
citizens to the will of illegal party men. He waa
sorry to disagree with his party, for he believed
he had rendered as much service in the election
of Mr. Buchanan as any gentleman on this floor.
He was also somewhat astonished at the forbearance of the people of Kansas toward tbe Delegates
to the Convention. If the people had flogged
them, cut their ears off and Bent them out of the
Territory, he for one would have applauded them
Cor it. He would not make any extended remarks
now, but if the Lecompton Constitution should
ever be presented to the Senate, be might have
something to say about it then. He would remark
that he was no Free Soiler. In bis own State
most of his bitterest opponents were Republicans.
A wise man's passion is always subservient to
his reason.
The best time for a man to speak ie when he
has something to say.
Every day has ltd appropriate duties ; attend to
them in succession.
