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.

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.

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).

Oue ia “water In the pitcher,” and the other “pitched here in the water.” Tiie Washington telegraphic correspondent of the New York Times, says that oar Consnl at Hamburg has written to Secrotary Morcv, announcing the probability ot an early aboli tion of the duties on cotton aad tobacco entered ut that port. Jas. Saul, a prominent banker of New Or leans, is dead. (From tliA Liverpool Timt-*, S8tb ult.J “ 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.
