fromSvducy, Austria, on the 7* of September
U.L, and ivae totaDy wrecked on the reef
. the Sicily L-landa. on the night of the f°Uo™S
. October 3d. A female sufferer fnrnishea the San
Francieco Herald with the following thnllmg par
i “Tin the morning of the 3d of October, the Captain
being aware oft& vicmHr of the land, ordered a
j to be kept bv the offieere and crew of
■ the shit, as there are many read, and roeka ;n the
. j Pacific Ocean very vaguely, and in some mstarw e.
I incorrectly laid down in the chart*. The Captain
? farther observed that he always ffdt uneasy when
| inijjg. n* of any of those reofr, through
- i \hf impel feet manner they are described, and there
. J fore iie remained on the deck Die whole of the day,
and until eight o’clock in the evening, when the
, watch was token by Mr. Coffin, the chief officer, an
! , old ami experienced neainnn, who formerly com
manded several vessels for himself and others. The
j ship, at the time of the chief mate taking charge of
! her, wht sailing at the rate of eleven miles an hour .
i the night whs dark, neither moon or stars visible,
■ i when suddenly the chief called out to the
f : man at the wheel, Hard down your helm ! and in
j an instant after the ship struck on a reef from which
j she rebounded, and afterwards we could hear her
j bottom grab: handily on the roeka. The captain, on
' her first striking, rushed on deck, but before he
5 could reach it. the ship was completely fast on the
l j reef. Immediately a scene of indescribable confu
-1 ainn followed; tl»e steerage pa»s*engers rushed into
‘ the cabin -mothers, holding their undressed chu
r J dren in their arms, as they snatched them from their
? slumbers—screaming and lamenting, when their
; fears were in some measure allayed by a sailor who
. i came to the cabin for a light, and wlio told them that
) although the ship would be lost their lives would be
* saved, as we were close to the reef. Ihe captain,
; in the meantime, had ordered the maats to be cut
away—his chief desire seemed to be to Kave the
lives' of the passenger* and crew. I managed to
reach the deck, and wedged myself between the ;
bitt bead*, clinging to the iron railing. I looked j
over the ship s side, but could see nothing but the
breakers, which struck the ship with tremendous
force. The rudder was broken, and the spanker j
boom, swinging to and fro, struck me severely on j
the head, while at the same time I narrowly es- .
eaped being swept overhead by a huge wave. I
looked on death, as certain, but I resolved to meet i
it bravely, and I returned to ray state room to de- j
vote the **emaining moments of my life in thinking .
of friends whom f loved, and that I should never i
«ee more.
When I reached the cabin the *C£C2 that presen
ted itself to my view shall never be erased from rpy
memory. Mother* screaming and children cling- |
ing to them in terror and in dred; the furniture was i
torn from its lashings and all upturned; the ship j
was lying on it* beam end#; the starboard side of j
her was opening, &u 4 tji** wave* were washing in I
and out of the cabin, whe;i we were informed that j
a rope had been conveyed to t)?e>e.efby & sailor, who i
had fastened one end of if to a rocjc, \vlill,e|4re other ■
end was secured to the ship. The captain aijd ojg- i
cers hail great difficulty in persuading the greater
number of the ladi<?s t 4» benefit by this plan for our
deliverance, as for myself, I considered to remain
on the ship was sure death, and I might save my
life by frying to reach the reef by means of the rope.
I therefore my fellow passengers farewell, and j
reached the deck by sviigming my self there with a
rope, the steps being gone, in the meantime our
only remaining boat was washed away, (theothpr
had been swept away previously.) Mr. Owens,
the second m«te, and two of the sailors, threw
themselves overboai J, *iud at the imminent risk of
their lives, succeeded in recovering the boat, al
though it was greatly damaged by being washed
against tlig locks. I wag assisted JUie aide of j
the ship by some of the crew, and directed how to
haul oil by the rope, when, after considerable diffi
culty, I reached the reef, my clothe* torn in shreds,
and my person bruished and mangled. But I was
tort unate in escaping even in ti*t plight. One poor
woman refused to escape from the ship by means of
the ropp, ns she could not carry her children with
her; at the same u.i»- lip? h’pband, finding his per
suatious of no avail, left lifer and
the Almighty was good enough io watch oveV her,
and she and her children were saved, with due ex
cent ion when separated.
The captain, finding that no more of W*e naeseu-
I gen* would vent ure on the rope to land, left the
j vessel, leaving nineteen passengers on the ship—
parents and children—who preferred dentil sooner
j t hail separation from each other. The rope, after
S the captain escaped by it, broke, and it was found
! impossible to reach the ship to reeve another, until
j tin* vessel began to break up. The part of her in
which the cargo wu*, consisting of three hundred
and dfty tons of coal, immediately sunk, whilst the
piM»p, on whloh Uo. were clinging, was
thrown on the reef, ana throUgh tile of pro
vidence, fourteen out of nineteen were saved, and
the five who perished consisted of two women,
two girls of the respective age of twelve and four
teen years, and a child belonging to one of the 1
wQiiif>r» above inentioded, who refused to leave her *
children *
The remainder of the night pasoed away amidst
tbo wailings of a mother for her dhild, and 4 child
lor its mother, who were then drowned, flie ship's
bell could also be heard, tolled by tho motion of the
waves, as il it was our funeral dirge, but at length
tho daylight appeared, and it added another pang
to our misery when we could see no land—wo seem
•*<l,and ; in fact. Were standing in the midst of the
ocean, with only ground enough to place our feet.
At length some of the crew saw land nt st distance of
about ten miles, and they commenced patch
ing the bout with tilings saved from the wreck.
As soon as they repaired the boat, the cap
tain and some of the crew started to survey the
isianq^.
Attout 4. P. M., the boat returned, when tlieoap
tuin give orders'to fakb the women and Children
away to the island, where, as he informs us'nothing
that was eatable grew, but that ho thought water
eouid Vie obtained by digging. We reached tho is
land and spent another wretched night laying on
the bare rocks of which it was composed. On the
evening ot the next day we wore joined by the re
mainder of the passengers and crow, who informed
us they had to stand up to their middle in the water
during the previous night, the water on the reef had
reached so high. They brought some damaged pro
visions with them that wn« saved from tho wreck.
We proewed a fire after the Indian 1 manner by rnb
biug baiTO together, find roasted some shell-fish we
found on the tslund. After tin* fifth day from the
wreck, we procured water by digging iii the sand
close to the beach.
The first week of our residence 011 the islands we
subsisted on crabs; after that time we caught turtle
that come to the islands during a certain season of
the year and remain tliere about two months. We
hadnobieafi or vegetables. Un another' island
hbout fifteen miles from us there grew about twenty
cocoa nut trees, but on account of the distance they
were from us, it was seldom we got any of the cocoa
nuts. The islands we were on were encircled •by a
reef; tl/crc jvria also ariptJiei'Vref to pntsg in gmng
from ope to another iyluud But our first pare was
to repair the boat, and try to make hpr capable to
carry some one to the nearest land where we could
get help.
In live weeks the boat was repaired, but by that
time there was no wind to carry her to the Society
Islands Tin* nearest group, the Navigators, were
1,800 miles distant. About ten days after the boat
was repaired, a ealni day came ; we resolved to
eariv dm boot f; ross Ihe reef ip |pe „ a, >,hiph ob

of the crew mul passengers that e-ouhl Uft any, a»
sis ted in carrying the boat. Nothing could exceed
our joy when we saw the boat launched in the clear,
open sea, with no reef or rock to impede its pro
gress. And we invoked God’s blessing on the Cap
tain and the nine bravo men who accompanied him,
who boldly risked their five* in an o;:en ra,y beat
to cr0..»0 an open 9*1044 to ,e#dj3ayqy to bj'tng fin suc

We passed a fortnight after the departure of the

The steamer brought no mails, and no papers, the
Niearaguense being suspended and the office mo

ns we expected from n regular correspondent. But
from Captain T. W. Thorpe, who came over in the

previous news of Schlessinger s defeat.
Owing to Schlessiugei's carelessness in not post

by the enen \, 1,000 strong, 500 being engaged im
mediately in the attack, rest at some mile or
half mile distance. *
They were up within fifty yards before they were
discovered, anued with Millie and Mississippi rides.

Capt. Thorpe’s aud Creighton's companies made
a stand, but being deserted by the others and by
Schlessinger, were obliged to retreat. From forty
to sixty men are supposed to be killed and about
eighty are missing. The enemy pursued some of
tho detached parties, but did not follow the main
body which retired to Virgin’s Bay.
Schlessinger was Undergoing court-martial for

The New Orleans Delta , of the *23d lust, publishes
the following interesting statement of the engage

presume the account Is drawn up by Capt. Thorpe
as he arrived in New Orleans the previous day,
direct from the seat ofwar:
On the 27 th day of February last, one hundred
and seveutv emigrants left New Orleans under the
supervision of Captain Thorpe, with a view of trying j
their fortunes in Central America. They arrived
in Granada without death or accident. After being
in that city about three days, the war between Ni
caragua and Costa Rica was declared- and an expe
dition ordered against Costa Rica uuder command
of Colonel Schlessinger. This expeditionjwas compo
sed of the 170 from New Orleans, oue company
from Now York, and an escort of one of the old com
panies. making in ail, about two hundred and eighty
troops. .
Tne expedition proceeded ou their march in rood
hope of sux*et«, but it va> generally conceded in a j
few days that the Colonel in command was not skill
ed iu ilia undertaking. The marches were badly
conducted—our movements being most frequently
! in the heat of the day and our encampments some
times made at a distance from water. Gross care
lessness was observable at almost every halt, as
well as upon the march, apparently inviting an at
tack from the enemy, and a massacre of the Ameri
cans, beiore sufficient alarm could be given. Iu
proof of the tact, when but a few days march from
where the enemy was met. upon the occasion of
oue of the few night marches, it wa> found that the
ordnance train, consisting of fifteen to twenty ani
mals, was lost from the iriaiti body of the troops
\ upon aucthrr occasion of an evening march.
w?en we had laid by as we supposed within three ;
miles of the enemy, with a view ot surprising them
I by a uight attack, when we had amved at our des- ]
iination—an alarm was given by the Piquets, and ;
i tha enemy was said to be in strong numbery within j
: ft lew yards of ut, in ambush. Our battalion was f
drawn up m regular line of battle, but soon we !
j learned the alarm was false, at about which time
it was roooUected that the ordance train had been ]
! left behind a mile or more, entirely unprotected.- ;
This condition of thing* continued* throughout the
march, until our arrival at the ranch of Santa Rosa,
where e. crytuh-g wore me upp = a.auoc pf oartifr*- !
j nee® too inviting to an army to be ptuaed by un- !

alarm was given. Captains Thorpe’s and Creighton s

j where the ordnance was stationed and the worthy
Colonel rad nii quarter; Cpoo their arrival in
the yard, tnd while forming their companies, the
i enemy opened their tire from the ambush. In
I the midst of the conftision, the two companies
above mentioned formed, and for some time nobly
contended with th# enemy. The fight had not pro

to arrest the cowardly and shameful retreat, but

! The march in retreat was for upwards of seven
[ days through trackless woods, over rugged moun
j tain*, across riven*, and bnt with a single meal for
- six day*. The return of the troops to Virgin Bay,
presented a sight seldom seen—**t men with bleed-

Rivas has again been the field of a bloody con- t
fiict. On the morning of the 7fh, intelligence j
reached Granada that immediately after the de- j
parture of the American troops from Rivas, a force
of 1200 or 2000 Costa Ricans entered and took pos- *
session of the city. As the information was authen- |
tic, there was no time to be lost on the part of Gen. j
Walker in making ready to repulse the enemy. By :
daylight on the Bth in»t., a force of 500 men, in- ■■
eluding 100 native troops were on the march from \
Granaua to engage the presunaptious invader. Gen. j
Walker, in person, was at the head of the army. —
Th«-force under hi* command, encamped the night j
of the iOtli, within nine miles of Rivas, and, in the 1
meantime, it had been ascertained, beyond doubt,
that the citv was held aud fortified by 2000 Costa !
Ricans and Chanorietas. Early on the morning of 1
of the 11th the march was resumed, with the pros
pect ahead of a lively engagement. Evidently to j
tho surprise of the enemy, the Democratic force, in- !
steadentering the city by the usual route from I
Grenada, eaine|ii by the read leading from San Ja- !
go or Virgin liuy.
The troops without halting, were assigned their •
respective positions, and instructed as to appropriate
points of attack. The battalion Under command of
CoL Sanders, was ordered to enter by the street j
leading along the west side of the Plaza, and the
east side was to be charged by the force under com
mand of Col. Fry- With a whoop and a veil, a rush
wan made for the plaza, and as tho tioopu yore
discovered by the enemy, ascending the oaimihieb
which concealed the approach to the city, they were
saluted with a volley ot musketry, which gave indi
cation of a firm and obstinate resis ance. On both
aide* of the Pla /u u brisk and incessant firing was
kept up by the eneim. ,b,ft thp and t;udamßeq
forc es of the Democracy charged them with as nulfch
rapidity, that in lee* than five minutes the Ameri
cans were in entire j>ossessiun of the Plaza. The
Costa Ricans shunning an open attack, precipitately
betook themselves to the barricades and fortressed
houses, and from their places of protection aud con
ceal ment, continued an unremitting fire. Their can
non, too with thundering voice, gave testimony of
the efficiency of jdic preparal ionj lor uoitn«.e. - To
prevent the destructioii timt 'must Inevitably’ ensue
from so %tal an engjpe ot war, the dtitenuiiiutttUi
wupiijstciitly formed pun jpcj info by
Lieut. Colopel gander*, of taking ti from die pos
session of the enemy.
The order to charge was given, and the gallant
Colonel, by his intrepid soldiers, rushed,
heedless of peril, into the face of danger, aud, with
the loss of four men only, succeeded iu capturing
that essential weapon of war. It was immediately
brought and stationed at the northeast comer of the
plaza, and placed under the control of Capt. Me
Cardie, a most excellent and intrenid artillerist The
ammunition belonging to u was aioo ueiAud, ami u
few minutes only elapsed before the weapon that
was destined for the destruction of the Democratic
forces, was pouring a fatal fire upon the Costa Ri
cans. Enraged at the loss of their gun, they made
several bold attempts to repossess it; butits thun
dering tone rapidly followed bv the deadly tpj.

cealment. in the meantime, 15 or 20 rifiemeu sta
tioned themselves on the roof a bulding, from which
they could plainly discern a large body of the ene
my on the back street. A continuous lire was kept
up by these gallant fellows, and at least a hundred of
the enemy fell from their destructive aim. The-con
flict 1 eeuniu too fierce for the enemy, and 300 of
them vveie discerned making their rapid retreat in
the direction of San Juan del Sur. Following the
retreut o! these, about 12 o’clock the enemj^receiv
ed a reinforcement of 250 men from Virgin Bay. -
Capt, WateiSjOt the Raagcts, wpo held possession
of the yvwer< uriAouilfiiiff-'tJre rtafinishedicathedral
on the north dideoft'hc phtza, immediately commg
nioated to Cfeu Walterlaffirmatimi of tlieii apr
preach, and a body of men was sent to protect that
portion of the towu. in the meantime, Capt. Wa
ters and his Rangel’s, from their convenient posi
tion, opened upon them with their rifles, aud did
most signal execution.
The intention of the enemy of surrounding the
city and hemming in Walker’s forces in the Plaza,
was thwarted with the most gratifying success. The
X. W. corner was held by (’ol. Dqii Jirupa s at me;
and Mrior o’Nefl>wth jicn commaml, d
hundpeq qpAA bodied of the eneipy gave signul proof
of the gallantry of these officers, and flip intrepidity
of their men. The Southwest comer was in charge
of Captain liudlerand Mason, with their companies,
and tlmt, with the exception of the position held by
Lieut. Col. Sanders, was the one from which the
greatest danger was to be apprehended. Those
brave officers and their -brave men nmiubvr.f
ground againwt a vo M couioa me with a ; firmness and
courage tieserving of the highest commendation.
Some of our noblest spirits, in the exhibition of this
point of feeling and undaunted courage, fell mar
tyrs in the cause of democracy. Among them, it
should not be deemed invidious to mention Lieut!
Morgan.'bffjep' Whl^er'yjitylL anff LlpUt. Doyle,
of thp anuy, Qf as sterling heroism and as t rue
heartens ever belonged so immunity. From three
corners of the Plaza a constant tire was maintained
from 8 o'clock in the morning until noon. Four
hottrs of unremitting service in the field, following
a tedious march of more than two days, had neces
sarily the effect of burdening the energies of the
soldiers with irresistible fatigue. The euemv t*"'

The temporary cessation of hostilities by the ene

ing that was sought to be possessed by the ensmy,
to the far end of the corridor* vis left wao partially
ricadei} by an adobe, Wail or bveuytwork. From that
position they cautiously surveyed the cue my, and
hastily determining the plan of operations, the or*
dev to chare o was given, and with a yell and a hound
they rushed iu the direction of the picket-fence, be
hind which the enemy were cautiously making **--
trress. The v*dl ‘ " , *'t^*
„ ... iiiiineuiately responded to by
a roll of thirty guns, but as the attack wa* o sud
den, the v ere t© aim with
precision, and the only damage effected was a slight
wouud infiieted upon the hand of Captain Brecken
ridge, not interfering at all with his prosecuting fthe
charge. The fence was gained without loss, and
thence a brisk fire opened upon the retreating ene
my. They tied for protection behind a neighboring
building, whence, with more security, they could
prevent pursuit. It was necessary, however, that
they should be driven entirely from that vicinity :
and in order to get a position to effect that object, i j
was necessary to cross i* street exposed to the ene
my’s lire. • '
It was a hazardous experiment, us the opposition
force was ascertained to be more than a hundred
strong. Nothing daunted, however, the thirteen
essayed the perilous adventure, and although the
bullets whistled in fearful proximity to them, not
man was touched. The position they sought
was gained: and then* in earnest the crack'of the
ritlc became the death knell of the tor. The ene
my sought to retain their mound, and returned the
fire with apparent zeal auu eagerness. In this en
gagement Capt. Houston fell mortally wounded.—
With iiis parting spirit escaped the pulsation of a
true and valiant heart. As an astonement for the
death of Capt. 11. not less than thirty of the enemy
were made to bite the dirt. The fire of the remain
ing twelve became too disastrous for the Costa
Ricans to brave, and they were compelled again to
relinquish their position and seek shelter elsewhere.
They began a precipitate retreet, but were hotly
pursued. Fortifying themselves behind a wall,
they again turned upon their pursuers and opened a
determined fire. In this assault Lieut. Gav was
wounded. The enemy again fled, with‘the loss ot
eight or ten more, and succeeded ia reaching' the
build-ng from behind, Y.hPfC th\*y again sought to
! repulse t'ap advance of the Americans. Jn the pur
suit Lieut. Gay was mortally wounded, and "French
; Louis” killed. The enemy made good their retreat.
The tight on the plaza had almost ceased, and during
the day and night there were little firing, except by
a few of the enemy around, with Minnie rifles,
tiring from concealed places. The possessors of these
weapons were Englishmen and Germans, who had
long experience in their use. The majority ot the
Americans fell at the hands of these foreign miscre
ants. who have allied themselve: w.th -ervdism
against the liberal party of Central America.
This battle of Rivas, the second fought in that city
by General Walker, was warmly contested. The
struggle was a long and arduous one, and the Libe
rals were compelled to fight at every disadvantage.
The Costa Ricans lost six hundred men The
earl v retreat of three hundred, and the subsequent
almost entirb abandonment of Rivas, are sufficient
indications of their defeat. The American loss does
not exceed thirty, and the wounded is the same
Take it al! in all. me conflict at Rivas cannot but
be regarded as a glorious victory. We have lost,
indeed, some gen'd and gallant men. but their deaths
have been atoned for in the blood of numerous sac
rifices.
The euemv are disheartened at their defeat and
although theV have again to the field of
their disaster, they are impoverished ot zeal, ana

I building the wharf at Virgin Bay, that on Monday
i morning, the 17th of April, the army of Costa Rica,
i headed by John R. Mom, the President of Costa

standing in front of the Transit Company, with
i Aaron B Cooles and John Brown, employees of
said Company.
| The troops of Costa Riea immediately surround-
I ed the office, and an order to fire was given by the

were fired Three of the balls struck this deponent,

‘savage, for after the unarmed persons were §hot,

has hoard since he left Virgin Pay, that all the

night previous, near Davis’ Landing, having snag
ged herself on the wreck of the steamer Empire-
All hands, with the exception of those on watch, had
retired, and so rapidly did the Cuba fill, they barely
had time to escape with their lives, and were taken
off in their night clothes. A 8 it was. we learn that
a widow ladv and her family, consisting of four
small children, on their tray home, somewhere in
sor£li Carolina, (deck passengers) and two deck
hands were drowned. Nothing but the pilot house
is to be seen above water, aud the boat it i» sup
posed will prove a total loss. The books aud pa
pers were saved in a damaged condition. The
passengers lost their baggage,not having time even
to save their wardrobe.
The Cuba was owned by Messrs. Cox, Brainard

1.700 . bales of cotton capacity, and for speed waa
unsurpassed by any steamar cn the nyer. bhe left

Soon alter the disaster, the Henry J. King came
up and lay aloug-side the wreck until morning, ren
dering every assistance to the sufferers, and in the
morning proceeded on her upward trip, taking
on board the passengers saved from the Crba
officers and crew came to the city morning on

The or The disaster, we learn, was a change
in the position of the wreck of the Empire caused by
the recent rise in the river.

-Manifesto f rom the t rat
The folio Vihg is a translation of an imperial manif
festo, publi. \bcd at St. on the Ist of
April, to announce the signing of the treaty o-
Peace :
The obstinrfte and sanguinary struggle whkdt, for
nearly three years, has subverted Europe, has at
last ceased. ik was not Russia that commenced it.
Even before it: broke out my late august father, of
imperishable n lemory. solemnly declared to his faith
ful subjects, anfci to all the foreign powers, that the j
sole object of }*& desires an<kof his efforts had been ;
to protect the rights of our co-religionists in the !
Eu-t, aud to put an end to the persecutions to j
which they werefiubjected.
A .stranger to ail interested views, he never ex- !
pected tliat his just complaints (reclamations) would »
have resulted in the scourge of war; and consider- j
ing its calamities with a deep feeling of sorrow as a ’
Christian, and as the father of the people entrusted I
by Providence to his care, he did not cease mani- j
festing his inclination in favor of peace. But the '
negotiations which were opened shortly before his
death, on the subject of the conditions of peace,
which was a necessity for us all, remained without
success.
j The Governments which have formed a hostile
coalition against us had not discontinued their arm
s aments ; pending the negotiations they had even
increased them ; the war had to follow its course,
U and we continued it with a firm hope in the protec
j lion of the Most High, and firm confidence in the
s unshaken devotion of our well-beloved subjects.—
. Our expectations were justified. During that pe-
e ’ riod of hard trials, our faithful and brave soldiers,
a as well as all our people, without distinction of class,
proved themselves as always worthy o1 their high
* calling. Along the whole extent* of our empire,
from the shores of the Pacific Ocean to the shares
t of the Baltic und Black Sea, one single idea, one
f single impulse, animated all, and made them
spare neither life norrtortune in the defence of their
country. Laborers leaving the plough and their
l fields, eagerly took up amis far our holy cause, rival
; ling in courage and self-denial our veteran soldiers.
1 New and stinking deeds of renown have marked this
r last struggle with powerful adversaries.
[ The enemy has been driven ham the coasts
, of Siberia, and from those of the White Sea, as well
. from the ramparts of Sweaborg; the heroic de-
L fence for eleven mouths of the fortifications of the

In Asia, after the glorious victories of the two
preceding campaigns, Kars was compelled to sur
render, with its numerous garrison, forming the
whole army of Anatojia. and the elite of lfi v * Turkish
frftftWtapnf Uium, were compelled to re
treat. Jfeyerthelyss, by the wise and impenetrable
decree* of providence, a fact was preparing con
formable to the wishes of our well beloved august
father, to our own, and to those of all Russia, and
which realized the objects of the war. The future
condition, and the privileges of all the Christians
in the East are henceforth guaranteed. The Sultan
solemnly recognizes them, and consequent upon
this act of justice, the Ottoman empire enters into
the family of European states.

Rout of Santa Ho-.*..—yu tlie 20th March, two
huudvou ana eighty Americans, or men professing
that natiomihty, under command of Col. Louis
Sehlessinger, at the hacienda of Santa Rosa, 18
miles from Guauacosti, in this republic, met a bydy
of Costa Ricans, variously estimated at from six
hundred to one thousand men, and in the course of
fifteen minutes received a terrible defeat. No such
event is recorded in the history of American arms,
if we except the sack of Waahidgton City. All the
advantages of time and place were in our favor; the
prestige of American valor was at stake, and the ef
fect of a defeat, all conspire to win battle ; but
none of these causes, or all of them, saved us from a
disastrous and disgraceful rout. Every soldier oy
the ground, or away, feels as we have
cannot injure the truly brave, therefore, by coloring
over the affair at Sap’ta Rosa ;' thus placing it on an
equality v/ith those actions which are deserving of
commendation. The reward of the soldier res's iu
she appreciation of his meritorious acfiont* qWvV
tliose'who fall behind him—where is feLtbken, then
if the craven is mentioned iu the i»auie parng»*jiph \
Wc have uo official report of the action , but from
what we gather of those who were there, the rout is
wholly attributable to the commanding offi< r.
Our troops had stopped at the hacienda of San
ta Rosa for dinuer, and at the time of attack,
were all engaged in eating. No picket guard v»is
detailed, nor any other precaution ad?j>,ut Vv avoid
an attack. Suddenly qu cia»m Was given, and be
fore the oufusion tne'ur camp subsided, the enemy
poured in a destructive volley. The troops were
thrown into a momentary panic, when Col. Schles
singer gave an order to the German and French
companies to fall back to te ceh'C a better‘position.
This command v*a_. mifeconcdiVed ks an order to re
trGtti. and accordingly a rapid flight commenced by
these companies. Tlie ColOnel followed a* by. Mtya,
to- rally tlie fugitives, but his. iftCWnaai was con
tinued into a fflebt, and boou the rout became gene
ra!. Our teoopSi fled iu every direction, scattering
themselves widely over a barren and mountainous
country, with the topography of which they were
wholly unacquainted. Fearful of passing sTvsg
road, lest they might be captured bttiffiTng par
ties of the enemy, they t»p in small parties,
and after a journey, over mountains, through
ahapparal. without food or water, the poor fel
tnwa arrived at Virgin Bay, iu straggling parties,
worn down with fatigue, ragged, bare foot and al
most starved. The indignation of the army at the
loss of the fight, was divided m it* sympathies for
the unfortunate A loud’ ana indignant ex-
wao uttered against the commander , byfno
other person stronger than by men and officers who
had failed under him. Liable as humane action*are
to be encountered, liable as all are rest, uji
der outward we withhold any censure
of our own until the Court Martial, at present in
quiring Into the matter, shall fender its decision.
’ It is almost Impossible to mention the of
those deserving credit in any battle, and more par
ticularly in one to which ao little credit is due as to
the affair at Santa Rosa. But the general voice of
the army has been so unanimous in honoring one
company and certain officers, that we should be
shutting our eyes to the fact, if we did not desig
nate them. The old Volligers, now commanded by
Capt. Rudler, was the last company to leave the
field, and not then until the day was utterly lost—
The loss by ihis company was terrible, ana the ene
my will long have occasion to remember the Yolib
fers. Major O’Neil, who is justly esteemed the
lurat of the army, won unanimous praise from all
the soldiers, not o&ly for his bravery on the field,
but for hi: sympathy to the sufferers aftewards.—
Johnson,’ a favorite officer in the gar
rison. is highly spoken of for Liis endeavors to
restore order and stop the flight. Corporal Kelly,
of Company A. was so highly spoken of to the
General, that he was premqieb to a Captaincy on hie
return.

the Vnited up his residence eight or ten
frUM*, hi the Swiss city of Basle, just on the

gave uneasiness to the Germau States, and com

Switzerland. That Government hftd issued an or

ceived a note from Theodore S. Fay, our Minister,
on the subject, revoked the order, and gave Mr.
Rfimd permission to remain on condition of a close
surveillance, and of future expulsion should just

TRIBUTE OF RESPECT.

esteemed fellow-studen t
J X. M BMITH, whose amiable disposition
and i«uit*>n»tve manners, enlisted universal friendship
aud admiration, is no more. This morning lie bid adieu
to all on earth to seek a happier home in Heaven. Yo
record his death, is sad, but to enumerate Lm \irtncs is
pleasant. To commemorate L‘s deeds is delightful, for
they are the of moral worth. In every
or position, which he occupied, he retained the
same ineffable sweetness of character, peculiar alone to
himself. Comparatively young, he possessed the car
riage of maturcr years. Bland, courteous uua urbane
he was unique in his intercourse .-itu ail, thereby pre
senting a tit model fyz i^oktaitoa.
Blended wiift these excellencies, as was indicated upon
his death-bed, was a Christian-like spirit.
During his long and protracted illness, not p, murmur
escaped his lips Perfectly resigned, hu spoke consoling
words to sorrowing friends around; told his father that
he would soon be. so Heaven with his mother, who had
gone before. He expressed au unwavering faith In the
salvation of his soui, and a blessed resurrection.
Notwithstanding such abundant evidence, it is natural
for us to mourn the loss of one so dearly beloved.
“Oh ! what a shadow o’er the heart is flung,
When peals the requiem of the loved and young !”
Knowing the vacuum v, hieh is caused by his prema

FNLOOKED FOR TESTIMONY.
K r r® DYSPEPTICS.—Says tho " Spirit of the Afc :*
B X It is not an insignificant met—rather an imj>orUuifc
one—mid indicative of the long promised ‘‘good time
coming,'’ that wo have, with Increasing frequency, addi
tions from the ranks of regularly educated Physicians to
the number of those who have humanly come forward
[ and Interposed between tho Patent Medicine Quacks
1 and their innumerable dupes throughout the country.
The evils which have resulted from the success of a few
persons in this lino, is, wo believe, Incalculable. Hosts
of venal imitators—groveling pauderora to thoir own
base passions, avarice and a prurient ambition, have
•sprung up on every side and flooded tho country with
, foul decoctions, di-guised by their inodoroueuesa and bad
bad taste, proclaiming thorn universal Panaceas for aU
diseases.
This subject has not hlthorto failed to attract the atten
tion of philanthropist*, and if it did not receive that
attention which it so evidently demanded, it w as be
cause ir* available means for its suppression presented
themselves. A remedy is, however, now being applied
to the evil which *vili not only abate it, but, finally, and
we hope, ere long, exterminate it.
Regular medical practitioners aro now placing their
best prescriptions in a popular form before tho public—
thus affording the advantages of their B kUl an d science
without the usual consulting fee in those disorders of as
certained characters, and which may be treated on known
principles. We hope that accessions to the number of
those physicians who prefer to seek the sick aud heal
them rather tliau repose in diguitiod retirement of the
profession, waiting “acall," will increase until tho
w hole race of humbugs are extant, and people be assured
that a popular medicine is really worth the wrapper that
envelopes it—a rather uncertain matter with some of tho
nostrums that aro now afloat.
W*- were led into these remarks by a conversation
which we just hn\e had with a gentleman--a friend, who
tor years had been a sufforer from Dyspepsia. Wo knew *
hun once chceuul, robust and lioaltny and. again, from
tho effects of this health destroying disorder, otnaclated,
crabbed and miserable. Whilst noticing, agreeably, a
great change wrought within a low' weeks in his appear
ance and manner, he, as if divining our thoughts, asked if
wo did not think lie was improving, aud proceeded to toll
us of tho wonderful properties and great value as a reme
dy, of ‘BLISS’ DYSPEPTIC REMEDY” Bliss Hum
bug! cried wo But a letter from a lady in New-York
recommended our friend to try, as lie expressed it, this
Blissful remedy, and his seriousness in attesting his re
storation to health, being owing to its use, our doubts
vanished, and wo determined to give our readors the ad
vantage of our friend’s experience In a short paragraph.
Should this meet tho e>o of Dr. Bliss, No. 20 Beekman
street, New-York, whom we don’t know from Adam, ho
w itl accept our th inks, as the medium of restoring to us a
triend, estranged by disease, in the health aud chcorftil
noss of disposition m which we formerly knew him.
As we have not noticed in any of our exchanges men
tion of this remedy, we would say to Dr. B, place your
discovery within the reach of nil—advertise—let your
light shine, oven though it may not be reflected Lu tho
“ Spirit of tho Age.”
