Cosckht ToNiotrr.—It will b$ seen from our
•dvertMiur column* that a Concert will Iki
given nt St. Andrew'* Hall, this evening, lor
the benefit ortho " Episcopal Orphan Homo.’
An institution so charitable and benevolent in
its purposes should at all time* commend Itself
to the syinpnthles of the public; but when, in
addition to this, a rich and rare musical trout is
ottered more than remunerative for the time
and money expended, we expect to see a large
and appreciative uudienco givo evidence of thu
Intercut they feel in an object that reflects ho
much credit 04 our community.
The accounts from Central America ivpte
sent tlio circumstances of Gon. Walker us very
desperate, Imt we ure inclined 10 think there is
ouiue exaggeration. A passenger (him Cali*
loruin, arrived here in the Isabel infuiin* us
that the steamer brought down 170 fresh and
hujltby recruits—men Just fitted for hard light
ing—to Join Walkor’a army, aud there was
every reason to believe that there had arrived
from other places, wlthiu a few daya ut Unit
time, numbers sufficient to increase the lorce
mil lour huudred—as many men as it is stat
ed ivcrc surrot 1 tided by Costa Ricans, Ac., ut
Giauudu.
The somo gentleman iufonns us ttuit there is
a misconception as to the reason which induced
‘ Walker to destiny Granada. Although not
compelled to evucute that city, he had decided
todJso for tho purpose of effecting some new
movements,and in order that tho enemy should
gain uo advantage by the possession of the
place after he had left it, he dotermiued to
destroy it. Of-coume, we shall have to await
Auther advices,to determine bow the ease slaud-

accuracy of its report much us wo desire that
il shall prove true. Geu. Hornsby of the Nic*

[From the Picuyaue.]
Thu news from Nicaragua is of the must iui*
I i.it.iiit nud exciting character.
since the lorrner accounts, a series of butties
have bfcuu fought between Walker’* force and

been entirely successful.

command of the Costa Itican General Cunus.
Tuc enemy were well forulied, but uot with*
aiunUmg their superoir numbers, they wero
immediately routed with iireut. loss. The loss
ui Uurn.'b/s command was only two killed
mid eleven wounded, while tliut of the enemy
was Jtou killed. Among their killed was Gun.
(Jurrucu.
Alter the enemy hud been dispersed, Geu
ilornsby, with bis command, went to Gra-
uada.
The next day, Gen. Wuikerstarted from Gra
nada with TOO men for Yirgiu Bay, where he
urrived on the 12th.
The enemy, after having information of the
smallness ol the force, under command of Gon.
Hornsby, which had dispersed them, collected
their scattered troops, uud again occupied their
former position.
Gen. Walker* being informed of their move
ments, immediutel/ marched to attack them.
The euemy, being aware that Walker cum*
uauded iu person, lirud a few rounds only,
uud then retreated. They were pursued to Sau
Juau del Bur, uud from that point along the
coast, until they dispersed throughout the coun
try. About 160 of them made their way iuto
Costa Bleu.
Tueloss of tho enemy could not bo ascer
tained. They were continually shot as they
wero overtaken. Their loss was probably about
100. Tho loss of Walker’s command was but
two killed, aud uluo wounded slightly.
Immediately after this victory Geu. Walker
u-turned to Granada iu order to take reiuibrcc-
meats, and marched upou Musaya, where some
l,5oO of tho euemy still remained. He took up
l.i4 line ol march ou tho 16th with 630 meu, and
feinting that a number of the enemy had
m it ched from .Musaya to the relief ot those
who hud been beaten on the Isthmus, be or
dered the 2d Infantry, under command of Cob
Juquess, to return to Grauad.i.niui inenco pro

Chinese Suoak Cane.—The Washington
correspondent or the Charleston Courier, iu
a letter of the Uthsuys:
The anuual report from the Agricultural
Bureau ol tbe Patent office, has been printed,
end will soon be geucrally distributed. It is
rcmaikahly interesting to the agricultural com-
uiuuily.
Some of the plant* which the Bureau has
successf ully introduced Into this country will be
of groat value—aud tone inoro so thau tho
Chinese Sugar Cano, which a* a forage plant!*
unrivalled.
For the Atloutic skirt, from Pennsylvania to
Florida, it will bo of emlueut importance, in
asmuch us when (he drought, to which this re
gion is subject, cut* ofTtlie grass, this cane will
afford uu uhumluiit supply of forago.
The syrup made from this cane may become
a most important article, and ultimately supply
us iu part with sugar., Very good Huecimon*
of tho syrup havo been oxbibiteain Philadelphia
by Mr. Peters, of Atlauta, Ga.
According to the report, if the seeds are
planted in uiay, or still earlier iu the Southern
States, thoy will prodmie two crops of fodder
in a season; tbe first of which may be cut in
June or July, tbe second a couplo of month*
later. With careful cultivation, tbe Chinese
sugar cams will yield seven tons ot green or
two tons of cured fodder to tho tore. Wheu
almost ripe the stalks fire filled with a saccha
rine sap from which sugar, alcohol, or beer
may be made, or whioh may be a«ed for dying
purposes. Cattle of all aorta eat theplant with
greediness. It is estimated that thu plant 1*
susceptible of cultivation lu the United States
equal to that ot Indian corn <26,000,600 acres
per annum); and that the average yield of
cured fodder would be 60,000,000 tons, worth
at tiie lowest culuu’atfon $500,000,001). Tho
Chinese sugar cane is capable of bearing hard
frost without injury.

Escape of moke Free State Prisoners.
Tlie Kuusas correspondent of tho Cincinnati
Gazette says that on the night of the 25tU ult..
nine more of the Free State prisoners escaped
from Lecoinpton, uud one was let out tbe next

would meet him at Bt. Louis on the 10th of De
cember, and enlist for Nicaragua. Captain
Mitchell was among the ntue who escaped. The
guard get drunk, and.tho prisoners walked off.

found the prisoner guilty, aud the Court sen
tenced him to four years 1 iubor in tbe peniten

“ Hallways unit Revolvers”
Tiiis title has become famous through the
narrative which Mr. Arruwsmith gave to the
world, some two months hack, through tbe
medium of the Loudon Times, It will be re
membered that this geullemuu, who then wrote
unouytuously, although when his statements
weru challenged he certuiuiy mudo hi* name
public—showed that u number of duels, involv
ing tho loss of six or seven lives, besides a
murder, had taken place ou a Georgian rail
way ; without a word of uotlcc being taken ol
thu appalling occurrences iu the newspapers of
the district. Tho organ which gave currency to
this extraordinary narrative—thu scones Ue-
scrilK-d iu which Mr. Arruwsmith declared he
hud himself witnessed,—had doubts of the per-
perfect sanity of tbo writer, but on sendiug
down to Liverpool, aud fiudiug that lie was not
merely a respectable man but capable of
managing his own affairs, presented it to the
uhtonislic-dcyesof maukiud. We were amongst
tiie first who declared, without kuowiug tho
writer, cither that the newspaper had been
hoaxed, ur that tbo writer haa imposed on
himself.
In another column will be found two lettera
—ono from Mr. King, the President of the
Georgia Railway, who ignores the affair in lolo
—treats it is too Billy to bo seriously contra*
dieted, but asserts positively, as regard* duels,
that there has uot been one in tho State of
Georgia for twenty yean; tbe other from a
gentleman uamed Gould, long a resident of tbe
sumo State, and who was the first to protest
against the truth of Mr. Arrowsmitb’s catalogue
ot horrors.
But what has become of Mr. Arruwsmith.—
lie has left tiie country—sailed, we beliove, for
tliufic very Uuitcd States where, as bo alleges,
these wholesale duels and murders are of daily
occurrence. Tho truth, wo suspect, is that Mr.
Arruwsmith is a wag,and bos been trying bow
much tbe British public will stand in tho way
ofswollowiug absurdities respecting our cousius
over the water. Everybody uppeara to have
liccu serious in the tragedy by Mr. Arrowsmith,
who must have laughed in uis sleeves ere he
fiuully slipped away, at the “sensation” which
he lmd provoked.
The cpicureuu who ofl'ered a handsome pre
mium for a new sensation would have been
admirably served by this gentleman, for his
missiou is to concentrate the attention of the
uuw world und the old on hi* saying* and
doing*. There i* one circumstance In this and
siugulur slander* respecting tbe American
people, the institutions, habits, und mannsra,
to which we may us well refer while wo havo
the pen iu hand. We allude to the promptness
with which thu citizensof the United states
address themselves to oar newspapers when
uuy thiug mure than usually outrageous is sold
of their native country. Amongst tbe number
who have exhibited tnis patriotic chivalry wo
must place Mr. Gould. He has sifted this
h j.ix to the bottom, and stamped the falsehood
as it desorved. Tbo manner in which he has
vlono tills combines spirit and literary power
uud hud it uot been for the energy with which
he bus followed the gamo, many thousand
persons in this country would have believed as
Gospel truth one of the most clumsy fabrics*
tious on tho character of a people which we
remember to have seen perpetrated.
