COLUMBUS: LliEttBST CITY CIRCULATION. Monday Morning, Jan. It, 185 8. Gen. Walker’* Letter. We publish to-day the letter of Gen. Walker to President Buchanan, in regard to his unlawful seizure and abduction from Nicaragua, by Commodore Paulding. It will be read by all parties with a great deal of interest, both by those who favor his cause and those who oppose it. It is a manly, straight-forward document, and shows most conclusively that he has been very unjustly dealt with by the officers of our Navy. It is gracefully and forcibly written, and displays nil the fire and in dignation of one whose rights have been violated, and his person and feelings out raged. The President will doubtless re ply to it, when everybody will have an opportunity to judgo of the justness of his complaint. The Associated Pres*. Tho New Orleans Associated Press com bination have read the Delta and the Pic ayune out of the Association, for rofusing to submit to curtain arbitrary rules, whioh interfered with the private busi ness arrangements and management of the individual papers. Tho Delta con gratulates itself on its escape. >♦- Hon. Ale*. C. Morton. The N. Y. Daily News says: “It is currently rumored that Judge Morton, so well known, not ouly to our Democracy, but to those in our adjoining (States and nt tho South, has had tendered to him tho position of Associate Justioo of the United States Supreme Court for the Territory of New Mexico.’’ ♦- Affair. We regret to hear, says tho Savannah Republican of the Bth iust., that an un fortunate difficulty occurred at the Itaco Course yesterday, between two worthy young men of our city, Messrs. C. A. L. Lamar and Henry Dullignon. A ball from tho pistol of tho former took effect in the right eye of the latter, inflicting a most serious, and, perhaps, dangerous wound. Mr. Dußignon was brought to tho city, and surgical aid immediately eallod in, but at latest accounts they had not succeeded in ascertaining tho lodg ment of the bull, or the exact nature and probable result of tho wound. Tim i’rtaldent and Coni. Paulding. A despatch from Washington, dated Jan. Bth, says, the President yesterday sent to the Senate a message, in response to a call from that body, for the instruc tions to, and correspondence with Com modore Paulding, in relation to the seiz ure of Gon. Walker and his men at Grey town. The President in his messago says (hat Commodore Paulding committed a great orror in arresting Walker, but thinks the Commodore was actuated by patriotic motives. Moutliern Bank of Georgia. HainhKinok, Gn., Jan. (Ith, 1858. Sir: The notes of this Hank having been discredited in consequence of its ac ceptance of the provisions of the act of the Legislature legalizing the suspensions in this State, I desiro to say, that as soon as the assets can be realized, and beforo the time allowed by the law, tho bank can resume payment. Tho private property of tho stockhold ers in this county, which is bound, is more than ample to pay every dollar in circulation. Respectfully, 11. 11. lldbuakd, Cashier. Judge of the Cherokee Circuit. Tho Atlanta Intelligencer of tho Bth inst. says that Hon. Leander W. Crook, of Whitfield county, has been elected Judgo of the Superior Court of the Clior okeo Circuit, by a majority of between two and three hundred. His opponents were Judgo ‘l’rippe, the presont incum bent, Col. Dabney, of Gordon, and Daw son A. Walker, of Murray. Government Troop* Defeated by Mormons. A dispatch from St. Louis, dated the 7th inst., states that au express passed through St. Joseph, Mo., says that the troops under Col. Cook, during their march from Harris Ford to Fort Harden, woro defeated by tho Mormons. Two hundred of the troops were killed, and several of tho officers were hung. This nows is regarded in St. Louis as rather doubtful, though it is not altogether dis believed. Tho next dispatches will either confirm or contradict tho report. The Hog Market. We givo below, says the Louisville Journal of tho sth inst., a statement of the number of hogs killed around the fails up to last eveniug. Ouo of the houses has finished killing and others will finish during the week. The market has beeu very dull throughout the week, and hogs weighing 200 to 220 lbs. have been sold at $4 021. Light hogs havo ranged from $4 25 to $4 50. KILLED. IN I’KNS Atkinson, Thomas & C0...38,C00 1,000 W. Jarvis & Cos 33,283 Hull, Hunt & Cos 80,760 A. S.

A telegraphic dispatch from Norfolk, on the sth inst., states that orders had been received from Washington city, di recting that the men brought thero from Nicaragua, in the Saratoga, should bo discharged. Many of the men were seen subsequently wandering about the streets iu a destitute condition, without money, and very poorly clad. The Baltimore Sun says: “The present state of things wc look upon as decidedly favorable to an early resumption of specie payments by our bonks.” Hew York LliiiloUre. The Legislature of New York assembled at Albany on Tuesday, the 6th inst. The Senate was organized by the election of the regular party candidates of the Black Republicans, to the several offices in that body. In tho House of Representatives several unsuccessful attempts were made to electa Speaker. A despatch from Albany in advance of the delivery of the Governor’s message, says: “It is understood that Gov. King’s message recommends tho enactment of a law compelling the banks to keep coin to the amount of twenty-five per cent, oi all indebtedness, exclusive of notes; also re commends a tax on railroads, and allow ing the railroads to increase their pas senger fares. He says the revenue from the canals fall short, and recommends a tax of half a million annually, for two years, as a resource. He further suggests the enactment of registry laws, and (of course) opposes the introduction of slave ry in Kansas.” A Model Mayor. From tho Boston papers wc learn that Hon. Alexander H. Rice, who has recent ly retired from the Mayor’s office of that city, during his entire term of otfice main tained the respect and confidence of all parties, and was lauded by the papers of all political stripes. During bis admin istration of two years, the city debt has been diminished $260,000 and the city property lias been largely augmented in value. Hardly a complaint has been ut tered against him during his entire term of office. Our own worthy Mayor is almost as popular, and if he can succeed in reliev ing our city of the enormous debt under which it is groaning, ho will indeed be considered by all parties in our city ns ono of the greatcstf living men. We doubt not however, he will do all in his power for a “consummationso devotedly to be wished.” Nicaragua Treaty. A Washington letter writer says, anew ratified treaty with Nicaragua, is daily expected in Washington. This treaty, if ratified by tho U. 8. Senate, will put an end to filibusterisui on private account, but will make it a matter of public con ceru. It gives us the command of the Isthmus region. It protects American citizens and property in tho Isthmiain ports, and gives us the right to protect the transit by military force. This gov ernment, it is believed, will not be slow to employ the privileges of the treaty, but will eagerly avail themselves of the same, well knowing that it must speedily lead to the Americanization of tho Isthmus.

Requested to Leave. We find tho following paragraphs in tho Mobile Tribune of Sunday: On Friday morning an advertisement was published in the city papers, announ cing tho presence ofWm. Strickland in Mobile, to sottlo up tho business of Strickland & Cos. Mr. Strickland, it will be recollected, was driven out of Mo bilo some two years ago for selling abo lition books. His uucxpected presence here aroused the iniignatiou of many of the citizens ; and on Friday night ho was waited on and requested to leave the city.

Letter IMVa Gen. Walker to Pre.l- Ucot Buchanan. Washington - , Jan. 4, 1868. Suit—J(Ja the 16th of June last I bad the bonvr to address you a letter, relating the marmer in which I emigrated from California to Nicaragua, the events which follow ed my presence in Central America, and the unjust and illegal acts by which I was forced for a time to abandon my adopted country. In that letter I stated facts which I de fy my enemies to controvert; and I then Loped your Excellency would Luke steps for the punishment of the grievous offen ces against right, justice and public law, committed ly United States officers, in the seizure of a Nicaraguan vessel in a Nicaraguan port. Commander Davis has, however, gone unrebuked, so far as I am informed, for his violation of internation al law, and of the Constitution of the United States; and it grieves me to say that lain again obliged to approach you with a complaint against another and yet higher officer of the United States Navy. In approaching you as a supplicant for justice, I know that it is necessary for me to remove erroneous impressions which have been made ou your mind concerning my conduct in connection with Nicara guan affairs. Corrupt and malignant persons have surroundod your Excellency, and poured into your ears false stories concerning events in Central America. And now, to you, the President of the United States, I directly charge, and stand ready to prove what I say, that your officers of the Navy, not only by irresponsible statements through the press, but also in official communications, have misrepresented facts and falsified events. Feeling and believing as I do, that you would not willingly wrong any individual, no matter how humble, l am satisfied that the summary judgment you pass on my conduct, in your Annual Mes sage to Congress, is the result of incorrect information ; and I trust and confidently expect, that when tho truth is placed be fore you, your judgment will acquit me of the grave charges brought against me. Permit me, then, if you please, before I proceed to call your attention to the conduct of Commodore Paulding, to deny most unequivocally, that 1 have ever been engaged at any time or in any manner, with any unlawful expedition against Nicaragua Iu your message to Con gress, you seem to imply that iny first departure from’ San Francisco was ille gal, for you say : “when it was first ren dered probable that an attempt would be made to get up another unlawful expedi tion against Nicaragua.” With all defer once, 1 beg leave to report what I said in a previous lettur, and to agaiu inform you that I left San Fraucisco iu May, 1856, with the sanction and approval of the Federal officers of the port, and that the Captain of the revenue cutter sent his sailors to bend the sails which carried us from California to Central America. Al low me, also, to suggest that the Govern ment of the United States recognized and legalized the immediate results of the emigration from California, in the recep tion of Padre Vigil as Minister from the Republic of Nicaragua. Not only was the first expedition, ns it has been called, to Nicaragua entirely lawful in its origin, but all its consequences were iparked by strict adherence to law and justice. Some have told you, I know, that I am a man “without faith aud without mouey,” but from the beginning to the end of my ca reer in Nicaragua, I challenge the world to produco a single violation of public faith—a single deviation from the great principles of public right aud public jus tice. Ou the contrary, the Americans in Nicaragua have always maintained the faith aud honor of their race, iu the midst of falsehood and treachery on the part of their enemies—iu the face of countless, hosts arrayed against them—no less than in the presence of famine and of pesti lence. Our conduct in the midst of trials and of dangers is sufficient answer to the epithets which have been hurled against us; and when the passions aud prejudices of the present have died away, we calmly await the judgment of posterity on our conduct. But au officer of the United States Navy forced us to beoome exiles from Nicara gua; and let me remind you of the fact that from the moment wo touched our natal soil we protested against the illegal ity aud injustice of tho act, and declared our intention to return to the land whence we had been wrongfully brought. Everywhere—before the functionaries of the Government—in the presence of assembled multitudes of the sovereign declared that no effort should be unused iu order to regain the rights wrested from us by fraud and illegality. Do you suppose that if we bad been couscious of nny violation, or intended violation of law, we would thus have pro claimed our objects and intentions ? Is it tho habit-of off enders against public right or of conspirators against public justice, to herald thejr acts ou the corners of tho streets aud publish their wrong doings iu the market place ? Would we have violated tho public con science of this nation by calliug ou the people to disregard their own enacted statutes 1 No, Mr. President, let all your District Attornies exhaust their energy and their ingenuity—let them attempt to pervert the law to purposes for which it never was intended—they cannot make good the charges which have been made against us. Once the District Attorney attempted to convict mo of a breach of the neutrali ty laws; but a jury of the country ren dered a verdict of “not guilty,” almost without leaving tho bar. Again a like effort would be crowned with a like result. After long effort and much patient cu durartce, we at length sailed from Mobile for Ban Juan de Nicaragua on the 14th day of November last. The vessel in which we sailed was regularly cleared by the collector of the port, aud a special in spector* was sent aboard to examine the cargo aud the passengers. Our rights, too, as Nicnragunns were acknowledged, for the collector refused to clear the Fashiou with Uapt. Fayssoux command ing on the ground that lie was a citizen of the United States. With a regular register and clearance wc supposed when ouce ou the high seas wc were beyond the possiblo interference of any Unitod States authority ; for even if we were admitted belligerents against a power with which the United Statos was at peace, the owners of the neutral vessel had a clear right to carry warlike persons as well as contraband of war, subject only to the risk of capture by the enemy's cruisers. We did not foi a moment im agine that naval officers would undert ike to place restraints on American commerce in the absence of Federal law and ! Congressional authority. The defero ,e, | too, we know your excellency has for t,.e Constitution of the United States preclu ded the supposition that any orders had been issued to detain or capture an Amcr- ! ican vessel whose papers showed she was engaged in a lawful voyage. Satisfied as we were of tho entire le gality of our voyage, wo did uot hesitate to enter the port of San Juan dc Nicara gua, although we knew the U. S. sloop-of war was present iu the harbor. But we bad scarcely landed before wc were sob jected to a series of illegal and insulting acts of the commander of the Saratoga. These acts have beeu detailed in two let ters addressed by me toCommodore Paul ding, and now on the file, I presume, iu tho Navy Department. While we were being embarrassed by the action of the Saratoga we had not been idle. Col. Anderson, who bad served bis native country throughout the Mexi can war, at the head of fifty men had ascended the river aud gained possession of tho stronghold; which in the last century had for diys defied the genius of the proudest naval name in British an nals. Not only this, but he had regained possession of valuable American property unlawfully held by Costa Itican soldiers, and I had given the order to restore it to the agent claiming it for the owners. Permit me to ask whether it is such acts as these which authorize your naval offi cers to apply to us vilest epithets of the language ? * Scarcely, however, had tho possession of Castillo Vicgo opened to us the way to Lake Nicaragua, and to the regaining of all we had lost by Capt. Davis’s interfe rence, than a most grievous wrong was again inflicted on us by Commodore Paul ding. On the Bth of December the latter officer summoned me to surrender to him, and the Nicaraguan flag was a second time hauled down on Nicaraguan soil by the orders of tho United States navy. It would be supererogatory, sir, for mo to say that the act of Capt. Paulding was without warrant of law. Much, too, as we felt the wrong, it was not the act it self, as much as the manner in which it was done, that cut us to the quick. We knew that the act was in violation of the sacred charter—the Constitution of the United States. We knew that an author ity higher than that of any Commodore— higher even than the President of the United States—would vindicate the sanc tity of violated law and punish the of fenders against the American Constitu tution. We felt, too, that tho august and most potent sovereign—the people of the United States—would render justice for the injuries sustained. But far more grievous than the surrender—far more galling than to see our own flag lowered on our own soil—was it to be told that wc, were there to the dishonor of the United States. There were men on that sandy beach, Mr. President, who had carried your flag aloft amidst the thickest of the foe, and one had been promoted by a predecessor in your office for first plant ing your colors upon the heights of Cerro Gordo. Others among them had led your soldiers across the continent, and always in the path of duty and of honor. For such men to be told that they disgraced the country they onco served so nobly and so well, was a pang sharper than that of death, and might have wrung a tear from men harder and more callous than he who inflicted the irreparable in jury. I need not tell you that I was unable to anticipate the act of Capt Paulding.— Military necessity required me to hold Punta Arenas, and the idea never entered my mind that an American officer, pro fessing to execute the law, would so far forget his duty as to infringe, not only well established international law, but also the requirements of that instrument with which are involved the best hopes of mankind—the Constitution of the Uni ted States. Evpn could I have foreseen the action of Capt. Paulding, military reasons would have prevented me from leaving the Point. But it was impossible to imagine that so violent a step—marked as it was in its details bycpnduct worthy of soldiers in the sack of a town—would have been taken by an officer of the U. S. Navy. And, Mr. President, iu the name of the official oatli which you have taken in the presence of Almighty God, I call upon you to punish the offender, and to right the wrong. I presume qot to direct your wisdom in the course it shall pursue; but, in the name of the men whose rights your officers have infringed, aud whose honor has been most harshly and heedlessly trampled in the dust, I call for the justice it is your high pre rogative to bestow. But permit me to conclude by adding, that in ail events and under all circum stances, there are duties and responsi bilities from which I and the officers anil men I represent will not, dare not, shrink. No extreme of illegal interference—no amount of hard words and unjust epi thets, can deter us from following the path whiefi is be f qrc us. Tffe functiona ries of the government may exhaust up on me the expletives of the language— they may insult the public conscience aud degrade their own characters by ap plying to us all the epithets their morbid imaginations suggest; but, conscious of the right and justice of our cause, we shall uot relax our efforts nor be driven into a violation of the law. As loug as thero is a Central American exiled from his native land and deprived of his prop erty aud civil rights, for the services he rendered us, in evil as well as good re port, so long shall our time and our ener gies be devoted to :he work of their re storation. As long as the bones of our companions iu arms, murdered under a barbarous decree of the Costa Rican gov ernment, lie bleaching and unburied on the hill-sides of Nicaragua, so long shall our brains cpntyivo and our hands labor for tbo justioe which oue day we \vill surely obtain. Permit your officers, if you can, to trample under foot the Constitution and tho laws; pass unnoticed, if you will, the most violent invasions of individual rights aud public duties; treat with scorn and contempt, if you choose, the de mands for justice which we humbly and deferentially place at your feet—we will not be cast down or dismayed. Wo fight for the rights of our race, which have been denied us by an ungrateful and de graded aristocracy. Wo strive to retain unsullied the device some of our ances tors have borne on many afield—“ None shall wound us with impunity.” And so long ns our faitli in right endures good— our confidence in the God of our fathers remaius unshaken—so long shall we use all just and proper meaus to regaiu what has been wrongfully wrested from us. I have the honor to remain, with high respect, your obedient servant. WM. WALKER.

Moore, charged with tho murder of J. R. Wood, in May last, and M. Hornsby, who was engaged in the affray at Iloneygall, escaped from the jail in this city. The building has no enclosure, and the door was secured by a padlock on the outside. Such fastening was but a burlesque—an invitation to outside friends to prepare at leisure for the departure of the inmates. It would be better to put the prisoners on their parole of honor than to hold out such irresistible temptation to depart as soon as they become disgusted with the landlord. Whose wise foresight was it that devised that fastening?” Volunteer Killed In Florida.
