General Walker had-taken poaseeaac of Rivas without
\ firing a gun.
All the military stores, artiliory and public documents at
Granada .were removed uninjured to Rivas. The onemy
• evacuated Rivas as Walker approached the city.
A special despatch to the Associated Press stales that
the Costa Ricans were protected by the Lugii-h, while in
tlttj act of seizing the boats on the .San Juan River.
Three hundred recruits, well armed, were waiting at
Puenta Arenas the repairing of a ‘steamer, which would
take three or four days, and when Completed, were deter*’
mined to proceed up the river.
Just as tire Texas was leaving San Joan, a messenger
arrived, stating to the effect that Walker, on hearing of
such a state of affairs, had reeaptuted Fort San Carlos,
which had previously been taken by the enemy. At last
accounts he was rapidly descending the river, scattering all
before him.
The Siege of Granada.
Virgin Bay, Jan. I, 1857.
Gen. VValker left Granada on the 25th November, for
Omotepee Island aud .Virgin Bay, w th the main body of
the army aud most of the stek and wounded, leaving Gen.
Henoiagseu, with about 200 ireops and ISO citizens, wo
rneu ami children. Gen. H. had orders to complete the
burning of the town and then remove the balance of the
amunition, stores aud cannon to Virgin Bav. All the am
munition and arsenal stoies were sent off except about
8,000 rounds of rifle and miiinie cartridge, 80 rounds can
ister shot and 30 shells, together with a tew round shot.
Everything would have been removed and the burning and
evacuation completed by the 21st or iWd, at farthest, but
for the fact that Gen. Herfr.ingseh gave notice to the native
population that all who desire to move with the army to
Virgin Bay ur Omotepee would be transported with their
baggage on the steamers, free of charge, before he aban
doned the town. Large numbers availed themselves of
this permission, and both the Lake steamers were oceu
pied lor tiiree days in- carrying off the natives and their
baggage. On Monday, the 24th at 2P. M , the town was
attacked from the lake side Lieut. Cop O’Neil and Ma
jor Henry, of the Quarter .Master’s IX partmeut, took part
of a company (about twenty-five men) and made a mod
gallant charge upon a body of the enemy about 390 strong,
who ware. U-lUJ.I..IOJ} ... ho town IO ifTe ic>t Os the mUiU
road leading to the lake. The enemy were completely
routed, with a loss of from forty to fifty killed. O’Neil
followed them up until ho found himself out of ammunition,
when he returned to tlie plaza. llis loss was, 1 think, one
killed and two wounded.
The night of the 24th was spent in fortifying the plaza.—
On the 25th we burnt the balance ol the buildings around
the plaza, saving only .the parochial church and houses on
that side. We then occupied the church as the principal
place of defence, as its towers commanded the whole town.
On the26th, Commenced lighting our way towards the lake,
and occupied the houses nearly to the church of Esquela
pia. In the afternoon, made a charge and to, k that church,
but were driven from it, and did hot retake it uotd the next
morning. On the 27th, moved tin* sick, vvouud- J and am
munition, etc. toward the lake; fired the remainder of the
buildings on the plaza, and blew‘ up ’.he parochial church.
At 2 P. M., attacked the church of Guaualoupe, which is
the last building toward ihe lak-\ aad about seven hundred
and fifty yards distant from it. It was Occupied by about
three hundred Guatemalan A We opeued on them vyith
shot and shell from two six pounders and one twelve
pounder howitzer. After teu or fifteen minutes carmoim
ding, charged the church with fifty men, when the enemy
fled and our men took possession. Here we found the
bodies oi twelve or fourteen of Capt. Gr&en’s Company,
who had been surprised and taken prisoners. They wore
half consumed by fire, some or ail of them having been
burnt alive. One of the men had lus legs entirely burnt off,
and his bands utd behind him. fie had no wounds on his
body, proving that he must fiiv* been burnt alive. We
now moved all of our stores nud artillery to this church
and fortified ii. This place we held until the siege was
raised. We called it Fort il^ming-en.
On the 28th, at 12 o’clock, M., an American who had
been taken prisoner by the enemy in the attack on the
whart, appeared with a Hag of truce. He was brought in
side the chutch. where he presented to Gen. H. a letter
signed by die several Generals of the besieging force, sta
ting that Gen. Walker had been attacked on the Transit
Route and completely defeated , that nis army was entirely
disbanded, and himself a fugitive and calling on him in the
name of humanity to surrender, and promising honorable
treatment aud a free passage cut of the country to all, both
soldiers and citizens. While the General was preparing
his reply, an adjutant of Gen. Zara Ha, accompanied by sev
eral other Guatemalan officers, all unarmed, and bearing
flags of truce, approach-d. Tne adjutant was met by the
General and Major Caycee outside die works, where he
stated that he had come to urge upon him the acceptance
of the terms offered.
Gen. H. tolff him he would send his reply in writing,
and very politely invited tbe officer to walk into ilia church,
and view our fortifications, men', etc., etc., which he de
clined doiug.
The General then read his reply to the'whole garrison,
and when he had finished, the wails the old Guadeloupe
church rung with three hearty, cheers Tor “Uncle Biiiy
Walker add his cause.”
A Guatemalan prisoner v?as then liberated and seut with
the reply, which was to the effect that their communica
tion was a lie from first to last; that lie was able to cut
his way through their lines whenever he saw fit, and that
it they remained in the country three months longer, he
would have them hung as high as Hainan.
The enemy ere now in possession of the wffiarf and fort
on the lake. At SP. M. a party was sent toward the lake
to drive ia the enemy’s piquet and lake possession of the
post which they occupied, it being the only defensible point
between the church and lake, and about “50 yards distant
from the latter. The attack was entirely successful, and
our men remained in possession undisturbed until 7 P. M.,
when they were attacked in front and flank by a large
iorce from the wiiarl Gen. 11. at once sent Col. Schwartz
with a 12 pound howitzer and 25 men to their relief. Af
ter half an hour of sharp firing the enemy retired, leaving
a large number ol dead oa the held. Maj. Henry, who
was in command, at once fortifying, and be
fore morning had himself strongly W# called
this place Fort Henry Oa the 29th at 3P. M., the enemy
attempted a grand attack from the fort ip front and the
town iu the rear, upon both qur strongholds, but the un
erring rifles dealt such death among them that they retired
alter about fifteen minutes filing. At about 3 o’clock P.
M. they renewed the attack ujxm the rear • the church
with 500 or GOO men. Here we had a battery of one nine
pounder urd three six pound guns. They were allowed to
advance close up to our brent*orks when we opened on
them with cannister; our riflemen at the same time doing
fine serviee. They could not stand the withering fire and
broke and run, leaving ihe giound covered with dead and
wounded, and all that night the air wa filled with the
groans ot the poor wretebe** who were strewed over the
whole space for two huudred yards around.
rrom this time until the Bth of December, nothing of
moment occurred in the way ot fighting. The enemy kept
up a coitetaut firing on us, and occasionally wounding some
one. Our men never resumed the fire until certain of their
aim and distance and when you heard the sharp crack of
our Aiississppi rifles you could leel quite certain that one
more greaser ’ spirit had winged its way to another world.
On the 29;ii or 30ih the cholera broke out amoug us. It
w as, no doubt, brought on by the stench arising from the
bodies ot the enemy which were in great numbers lying
unburied around the church. The medicines having been
sent off ou the steamer?, we could give the sick bur little
relief, and we have lost from 7U to 80 by disease alone.—
1 >n the 29th we killed our horse, and from that time
we lived entirely on the flesh of horses and inuies, and oe
ca>ionally a few green bananas.
I think it was on tho 8 h of December that Gen. Zaralia,
the commander of the San Salvador forces, sent anoiher
letter to Gen. Henningsun, telling him that the allied forces
had possession of the river and transit* route, and asked
Gen. H. to come to his camp, pledging his honor lor his
sate return, and stating that’ ho ftad the highest regard for
him as a gallant soldier and a gentleman. Gen. If. sent
him a verba! reply that lie declined his invitation ; that he
had no commanication to make, and that he should be most
happy to meet Gen. Ztrnlla, but it must be in battle. At
this time we hath but three days provision, or, in other
words, but three horas left.
On tbe morning of the 11th. the steamer Virgin arrived
before Granada, and a boat j)ute-fF from her and reeonnoi
tered the shore. We could see but few men on boa and, yet
every one in camp felt certain that we were shortly to be
relieved, .
At 10 o’clock, P. M. the steamer moved about three
miles above the town to the same point where Gen. Walker
landed when he first took Granada, and at midnight Col.
John P Waters landed with 180 men. The enemy made
an unsuccessful attempt to oppose their landing and thou
ret i©d ao their barricades a few huudred yards distant. Col.
Waters advanced steadily until in sight of the barricades,
when the enemy opeued a lively fire. Our boys fired a
volley, and then with a rush and a cheer mounted the bar
ricades and drove the astonished •‘greasers” at die point of
the bayonet. They rallied, however, at their next barri
cade, about half a mile distant, but Waters and hia gallant
liitiebaud pushing on, drove them from every barricade,
(some five or six in number) until he reached the very cen*
tre of Granada.
This was about 3A. M., December 12th. He wa3 now’
abpuf 300 yards horn the Gaudaloope church, and between
it and the town, and not knowing our exact position wait
ed lor daylight before attempting to communicate with us.
At eunpse Capt. Leslie, of the Rangers, came over to our
uamjS, and in a few minutes Col. Waters and his men was
with ds, and the seigeef Granada was raised.
At 12 \1 , commenced embarking our sick and wounded,
and at midnight we had taken off everything without the
lp-s of a gun, musket or sabre. The only thing we left be
hind was a lance stuck in the embankment of Fort Henry*
on which was hung a placard in large letters, “Here was
Granada.” And thus ended the seige of Granada, which
lias few if any parallels in the records Os history. Our force
at no time exceeded 225 fighting men, aud finally was re
duced to less than a hundred—no fortification* except such
earth’ works as we were enabled to throw up under a gal
ling fire. Pestilence and famine were staring us m the face,
and yet we held at bay for eighteen days 2800 of the choi
cest of ihe Cential American forces.
Too much praise cannot be awarded to Gen. Hennmgsen,
to whose skill aud cool courage Gen. Walker owes the
saving of his artillery, and the men who were with him
.owe their lives.
Civil Election in Atlanta. —On the 19th inst. Win.
Ezzard, K. N., was elected Mayor of Atlanta by 31 votes
over L. J. Gleuo, Denn.
The Councilmen also were of the same pa:ty as the
Mayer elect.
A Gem. —An eminent modern writer beautifully says;
“The foundation of domestic happiness is faith in the vir
tue of woman; the foundation of all political happiness,
i* confidence in the integrity of man ; and the foundation
of all happiness, temporal and eternal—relian.e on the
goodness of God.
Commerce of the Port of Pensaeola..— A glance at the
voluminous statistics of our efficiently administered office
of the customs, shows a very gratifying increase in thecom
rneie of the port of Pensacola. Some twenty odd million
fool of lumber is an immense item ’of export, and to this
a e added vast quantities ol laths, shingles, spiles, timber
ot various descriptions, brick, merchandize, cotton, country
produce, <fce.
As an item of especial interest we more particularly re
fer to the exports of lumber and timber to foreign coun
tries. In round numbers we find, by the custom house
books that our exports of himber, for 1856, were—to Bra
zil 1,420,000 feet; to Central American ports 448,000 feet;
Europe 2,349,000 feet; Africa 182,000 feet; Cuba 3,292,000
feet. To Apinwall 500spiles were exported; to Central
America 104,000 shingle*, and to Europe 91,000 laths
‘Phis foreign exportation is a small niatier compared with
ihe coastwisetrade; but it serves to showfto what remote
parte the arms of our commerce are stretched, and tlie
world wide notoriety of our great lumber mart. — Pensa

Horrible Murder. —The Starkville (Miss.) Advocate
contains the particulars of the horrible murder of Robert
Burns, proprietor of the Cottage Ho tel io that plaoe, by
Dr. W. D. Stovall, with whom lie had had a fight the
day before. It says : Going near burnt*’ stable, Dr,
Siovail stopped the buggy, and walked within 25 paces of
Burnes, who was engaged in harnessing a horse ; ho
beckoned to a negro, who was standing near, to get out
of tlie way, at the same moment raising the gun and
firing. At the instant of firing, Burnes looked around
and received the contents of the gun, full in tho face.—
lie rawed his hands lo his eyes and sunk to the earth,
exclaiming, ‘‘My God !” Upon this, Stovall advanced
within ten paces, and fired the second time, the whole
charge taking effect in his back, mid Burnes then cried
out, “I am a dead man !” Still not satisfied, Stovall cool
ly approached him, and drawing a pistol, put it close to
his head and fired again, bursting his eye ball from its
socket, then putting the pistol to his breast, he fired a
fourth time, into the body of the already dead m in. Mrs.
Burnes aud her children, rushed from the house, scream
ing, while Dr. Stovall coolly walked off, got into his
buggy, aDd drove away.
An Anti-Vegetarian Virgin —One of our north
country pitmen, who had turned vegetarian, went a court**
mg to a plucky lass in the colliery village, and “popped
tlie question.” ‘Oh,’said she,‘go along with you! Do
you think I’m going to be fle-h of your flesh, and you live
on cabbage-? No, indeed, I dou’t belong to the rabbit
mily.’—English paper.
Good Poker Hand —A lady of Sandersville, Georgia,
was recently brought to bed of three fine daugters. Alj
doiug well. Three queens is a pretty good hand.
Notes and Queries.*- What is ihe origin of ihe word
“foolscap,” as applied to piper ? Folio Capo —first size
sheet ; Italian. What of “apple pie order,” as meaning
complete? Cap apie, from head to foot ; French
Wlmt of “beef-eaters,” as applied to waiters at table ?
Bujfetiers —side-board men ; French. What of “dun
deitou” a well known greeu for salad ? Dent de lion ,
tooth .of a lion—tlie shape of the article ; French. What
of “country dance” in English ? The French conlre
danse, from the position of partners. “What of the
w id “scamp?” One who “ex campo exit;' 1 or “flies
from the field.” What of the word “luncheon?” The
daily meal of the Spaniard* at elven o’clock, called
“I'once” and pronounced Vonchey Many, in our time,
call it their “eleven o’clock.” What of the word “f/xn
dem,” as applied to a team of horses ? The Latin word
tandem , meaning simply at length ; a practical pun.—
What of “brown study,” as meaning deep reflection ?
Evidently brow study , from the German braum meaning
brow. What of the term “Yankee ?” The manner in
which tlie Indians endeavored to pronounce the word
English ; which they called Ycnghees. What of
“bumble bee,” or “bumble bee ?” Very curious. Dou
ble dore , (double gilt ;) from his bright yellow spot ; the

Hence the corruption is easy. W hat of “foioed moat,”
as applied to the bails put up in soups, or the “stuffing”
of poultry? The French wood farcee, stuffed. It should
rather be “farced meat.”
W hat ot the word “lark,” as meaning a frolic ? The
\flglo-Saxoo word “lark” meaning play. So a sky

in the air or sky. Ponder on these, and more may
come.
Important to Owners and Hirers of Slaves. —The
Supreme Court of Tennessee has recently decided that the
hirer a slave under a general coutract of hire is guilty of a
conversion if he hire said slave to another during the term
of hire, without the consent of the owmer, aud is liable to
an action of trover for his value.
Shirt Tree. —We talk of the miserable price paid for
shirt making, and Hood’s touching appeal has embalmed
the subject. But in South America shirts are prepared
with less labor. In the forests of Orinoke there is a tiee
W’hicb often attains the height of fifty feet, Irom which
the natives are said to procure shirts. To procure that
confidential garment, it is only necessary to strip off the
baik and deprive it of its red fibrous pans. The head
is thrust through one end, and lantern holes cut to admit
the arms, and according to Humboldt, they are equal to
our India rubber goods for keeping out the wet.
Nestor , Trlemachus and Calypso. —One murning,
during ihe late session of our Legislature, while break
fast was in progress, at the House, Columbia,
Major Perry, having finished his meal, left hia table, and
was in the act of passing a group, at another table, where
one of his friends was enjoying lively converse with one
of the loveliest and most accomplished matrons, who
figured at our State capitol, during the late Legislative
season. As Major Perry was stalking by, iu ail his alti
tude of stature, stateliness of step and dignity of manner,
his friend arrested him and said—“ Permit, me, Major,
to present you to Mrs. .” “Madam,” replied ih*
Mayor, “Mr. ,is my Mentor.” “True, Madam,”
replied Mr. , “and the Major is my Telemaehus.”—
“Your Tail am tens, you mean,” was the ready rejoin
derof the lady. “Yes, Madam,” said Mr. , “and
tall as he is, I bid him beware of Calypso.” The Mu*
jor, however, was quite unmiodful of the friendly admo
nition, and like numerous others, soon gave evidence
that he could not resist the fascination of the syren—one,
of whom Gov. Manning had said, at the Commencement
Bill—“ She ought to be elected Professor ess of grace
and eieganae in tbe South Carolina College.” —Charles
ton Courier.
