From the Mobile Register, 13lft June.
Mobile & Ciivartl Hail itoad.
We9careMy know in what form to present the plea we
desire to offer on behalf ol thw somewhat neglected but
important enterprise. The drafts upon out resources have
been so large and have been so promptly met heretofore,
that it really looks like trespassing on good nature to ask
oi the people oi Mobile a turthercootnbiitiou ro railroads.
Hut this is an age of ceaseless aer y iv, the place or the
per-*n which does not move wi h the emrent will be car
ried helplessly • n its bos* m or swept upon the barks lorot
and rust, out of sight. A ciry which does not guide and
direct the channels of trade toward itself, will fii.d its po
sition isolaied a* and remote from the greet thoroughfares ol
coo tnerce. ‘i he Mobile and (iiiard Rai-road wa> begun
under very lav* rabfe auspices, but other * nieij-rises siqer-
K-ded it jn the popular a t .eetions, after awhile Mobile dis
connected her*e!f entirely from it. She at one lime s.ub
scribcd a n.il ion cf dollars and the government appropria
ted to that portion ofthfe-road b tween Ureenviile and
Aloiule 5C0,90U acres ol land. This cum alien will be lost
unless we renew cur subscription, ior die stockholders on
the Oirard end of the route will unite with the Montgom
ery and Pensacola road at Greenville, and find access to
ihe Gulf through the latter place. Ic is more than proba*
(hat Selma or Cahavvba will construct a road to the tame
point, (Greenville,’ and if the Mobile and Girard roa i were
completed, it would thus form the great central chain of
intercommunication between North and South Alabama,
abunt which so much has been said and writtcu. This
connection between the upper aud lower sections of the
State must he made at some lime, and wo cannot expect
ever to have such facilities ns are aik>rd*-*i us by-ihisemer
prise. The land which has been given by Congress, at a
lair valuation, will eventually reimburse the Stockholders
lor the outlay they may have to make. But unless we do
something, the Montgomery and Pensacola Road will be
built; and the trade **f Columbus, Montgomery and all the
interior counties contiguous to the roads above mentioned,
will go i> P-msaeol •, and th * project of uniting Noith and
South Alabama be indefinitely postponed. The loss lo Mo
bile will quintuple the cost of the w ork, and we earnestly
appeal to our liberal and enetgetic citizens to consider
these things and act promptly for their own interests and

ot Georgia to the Mayor ol this city on the subject. Its
suggestions are worthy of serious consideration, both for
their intrinsic obvious excellence and the reliable source j

Colombia, Ga , MoyT.b, 1857.
Dfar Sir:—The annual meeting ot the .stockholder of
the Mobile and Girard Railroad, is to take* place on the
fit si Wednesday in July, tor the election of Directors, and
other purposes. 1 wrote to my fHend W. P. Auhry, E.-q ,
of your city, a few eka ago, requesting him .to confer
with you and others in Mobile, in relation to the interest
of your city in the road, and such action as she m ght be
de posed to take in it?- faither construction. Since* w riting
thut letter it has occurred lo me that it might net be inap
propriate in me, to conimmunicatfc further and more di
rectly w ith you upon the subject, and to present )ou with
some facts and views having a beating upon it.
The Charter, as you are aware, con templates a road from j
Girard to Mobile. The city of Mobile, under an act of i
the Legislature and by vote of her people, subscribed one j
milhou ol dollars to the t-tock, to be paid in six per cent, j
bonds No bonds, however, were ever issued, and ii has
been understood of late that Mobile repudiated her sub**
scription, and declined to go on with her end of the road,
from Greenville to Mobile. At a meeting of the Stock’
holders, of the upper end, held in I fee ember last, a- 1 am
informed,consent was given tor .Mobile tu withdraw her
subscription, and I suppose the mailer stands m that atti
tude a! present.
W e have gone on gradually, towards the completion of
the Road from Guard to Uuion springs, 52 miles,— I'd
miles are now in use—some .-even or eight more graded
and the srou ieady to he laid down, and the Stockholders
w ill take measures at their next tru ein g, to sec ure luuds
sufficient— about £6O oLo—to cctnpU iv tlusscclLu of 52
units, i prefciimo we may rea oaably calculate on having
it in running order early next winter, i suppose that thou
will then bean effort made to push it farther on; and cir
cumstances will ticteimine whether ic runs to Greenville
and thence to Mobile, or turn aside down the valley of
the Conecuh, and intersect with the Road irom Moutgoiu
cry to Pensacola. A patty of engiueets are now in the
field, making a survey ol the latter route, with a view to
Hich a coutuigcucy. It i- veiy certain that tiie present
company cannot auu will not push the road tc Mobile,
without material aid from your city. Whilst a large ma
jority of tiie {Stockholders on tins end of the line are favor
able to the Mobile terminus, they all, with one accord,
let i their niter inability to carry it through, and must finally
j- in the Montgomery and Pensacola R> i*o at or b low
Greenville. I submit whether it would not be greatly to
the interest of Mobile to prevent such are uit, and to turn
both Columbus and Mont •■ornery to betself. lam persua
ded, that if Mobile would’take hold ol the'project m good
earnest, and manifest a willingness and ability to build a
rond from that city to Greenville,or even from the Ten
paw river to the latter place, that Montgomery would be
induced to abandon Pensacola and take yuurroad to .Mo
bile. It would also stimulate the conatiucliou ol our end
o! the line as lar as Greenville, and would very pioba
bly induce Selma to construct a road also to ilie same
point. Thus Mobile would be put in communication by
Rail,with a vast interior country, which murt in a great
measure, be cut ofi from her if the Pensacola project should
prevail.
Can .Mobile build a railroad to Greenville! When the
road was first projected, a subscription of over iorly miles
ot’ Grading was obtained , between Greenville and the river
besides a good deal oi cross ties and money subscriptions.
I entertain no doubt that with proper efforts,a subscription
on the line could be obtained sulff ient lo giade and fin
ish the uperstrueture at least one hall the distance, say
sixty five miles A hall million of dollars would aceorn
piish the grading and wood work, including bridging of
the balance. The grading lor over sixty miles above Mo
bile is very liglr'. and is estimated nt S4OOO a mile at liir
theft. One million ol dollars would be ample to tarnish
the iron and equipments ior the whole distance. Yon are
a better judge than myselt of the temper and ability of tire
people ot Mobile tn make lire necessary subscription. 1
presume that it would be necessary tor Mobile to pledge a
milion and a tjait to the work. A here is one source ot
revenue, or rather of means, which, although not immedi
ately available, would lorm a basis fd credit to a conside
rable amount; I mean the public lands, which have been
granted to lire company—oi Irieh 1 think there are in the
neighborhood ol a million _of acres between Greenville
and Mobile.
At a meeting of the Stockholders in July next, a propo
sition will be presented,and lthink will prevail, to have
the, charter so amended at the next session o! the Legisla
ture as to make two distinct eoiporalions—one Irom Gi
rard to Greenville, the other Irom Greenville to Mobile
In,such an arrangement all the hinds below Greenville
would fall lo the lower road, and be applicable alone to
that portion ol the line. Now, if that road was completed
connecting with a road to Montgomery, and one to Gi
rard, would it net be a paying slock, over and above all
other advantages to your citpl 1 enr salisfi and that rt
would. It would be slill belter i.i Selma would see to it.
! A considerable immediate expenditure {might be avoid
| ed by commencing the road at the Tcnsaw river, arid leav
ing the bridging .across the rivers until more propitious
1 throw out these ideas in the hope that they may awa
ken sufficient interest in your people to induce them to con
sider the matter, and take sucir action as tlleir judgments
may dictate, it anything is proposed to be dope, i should
think it expedient that you send up a representation ol one
or more persons to attend the meeting in July, lor the pur
pose ot friendly consultation, and witii n view to shape the
proceedings of the meeting lor the iurlherauce ol each tme
ot policy as may ho agterd upon. .

Kansas a Slave State.
i Sonic few ol our friends, who are a little fain! hearted,
I seem disposed to despond tt to the prospects-id making
I Kansas a Slave State. Hot these men are not well pust-
I e.l, and do not understand the mar.ocuv. mgs of Mir op
i potit ats. Tilt re are a set of men in our Terr itory, who,
regardless of the real interests of the people, are Wot li
me for political capita! at the North. To accomplish
this, th, v would ruin the Teirib ry. und keep up agna
tion, excitenn nt, and bring about civ 1 war. ilicy are
a set of outlaws, aud have already driven many good,
conservative Frte State men from their ranks. No
good National Democrat can vote and act with this Hub
iuson party in the Territory. This party have refused
to g into tiie election ol Delegates to lot m a State Con.
sti.ntion. Their organ here—the Times—gives up the
question, by saying that Kansas cannot long remain a
Slave State. We ate willing to risk this. Kansas being
once made a Slave State, it will not be so easy io change
j it. The.population now coming into the Territory, is de
cidedly favorable to our cause. They ate from the YV c-st
ern, Middle and Slave States. They ate men who are
trot disposed to interfere with slavery w here it exists.
The prospects for making Kansas a Slave State, are
blight and promising. The Black Uepublicaos, at least,
will be politically crushed out.—Aatiso* Herald, May
83d, m
Macon and Brunswick Railroad —By a notice in our
columns, it will be seen that a meeting of the Corporators
of this Road has been called, fur the purpose of organi
zttion under the charter. When this is done, we trust
that our capitalists will at once foot up the subscription
lists'with a sum sufficient to place the speedy construc
tion of the Road, beyond the possibility of a contingency.

Tbe Official Report ol Captain Tyler
The report of Crptain Tyler, showing the agency and
conduct of ‘tie marines in quelling the recent violence and
bloodshed commuted al our city elections, w ill lie found
below, prepared by the Captain, and transmitted by the
commandant ot the marines to the Navy Department:
Marine Barracks,
Washington, June 2, 1857.
Sir: —In compliance with your order, received about 12
o’clock on yesterday, 1 immediately collected the available
marines at headquai ters and the navy yard, amounting iu
all to one hundred privates, with a due proportion ol non
commissioned officers. T his force I divid-d into two
companies—iheiir-t was ci ninianded by Brevet Major
Zieiin, the second by Captain Maddox, with a sub
altern to each company, Lieuts. Henderson and Turner
Alter supplying my command with ball cartridges, I load
ed and proceeded direct to the City Hall. On my arrival
there, 1 reponedto the Mayor ot the city of Washington,
in ot.edience. to an order irom the Navy Department re
ceived by me, through you, to the effect that X was to
obey such orders as'the Mayor might wish executed, with
a view lo clearing the polls at the dilli-retu preempts erf the
municipal election, then being held in the city oi Wash
ington. The Mayor !i rffiwilh proceeded to the first pre
cruet of the 4:li ward, ricetimprniied by me and my com
mand We soon arrived upon the ground, and 1 anrnedi
alely drew tip n r command in line in front of the precinct
which had theeilect lo clear the precinct. The Mayor
then proceed*d to nddr.w the officer of tire election and
those around the precinct, lag. I did’ ti. it Ii -ten to or hear
his remarks. Immediately ilterea ter, and peihajw while
the mayor was yet dehv ting his address, a commiitee—
consisting of two persons—came from the market house
with a message to me, to the eilect that those m charge of
the cannon planted at the market house would fire upon
me it i did not immediately abandon my position in front
of the product; I replied, then I will tube your cannon!
and straightway proceeded with my command to the
maikel house. On arriving opposite to the cannon, 1 halt
ed my command, laced it to Ihe Iront, and with Ihe first
platoon of tire liisi company, with Major Zeilinat its head
i c harged and took possession of the cannon. My pur
pose was to take the cannon with as little loss of life as
possible; had I have fired before charging the loss of liie
w ould have been immense. The charge of bayonets.how
ever was sufficient without the fire to disperse the rioters
in every direction. In their flight they did uot forget how
ever, to discharge their revolvers. Pistols were afeo freely
fin and horn the wooden enclosure at the market house,
which were returned by single shots from the first platoon,
still in charge ot the cannon. About this time the marines
iu line were tired upon by another gang oi rioters Irom the
opposite corner of the. street, dangerously wounding one
man in the face belonging ito the first company, which
caused tire blood to spout from his mouth and nestrib
T his fire was returned by a pnrttou ol the marine*belong
ing to the second company, commanded try Cr.pt. Mad
do"x—l being still engaged in [broking out lor those who
had fled from the uaunou and taken reluge mound and
about the matket house; but on hearing the repent of this
fire irom the 2d company, I laced about and beheld several !
persons on tire opposite side ol the street in the agonies of
death and many others, to al! appearance, badly wounded. !
1 immediately ran down the line and ordered ihe men to |
cease firing, and not another shot was fired tiy one ol i
litem. Alter reloading thediscliarged inn.-k"ts I remained !
upon the ground about thirty minutes, and then, at the re- ,
quest ot the Mayor, marched my command to the City |
flail, where 1 remained until the cars Irom Baltimore came j
iu in the afternoon, when 1, with my command aceom- j
panied die mayor to the railroad depot—understanding i
frr m him that ire expected other rioters from Bajrunoretn j
tiie cars, iu That event the Mayor thought Ihe depot ;
would be the best place to settle with them; and in that;
opinion I entirely concurred; but none came. 1 remained ]
at the depot until half past H o’clock, and being entirely
satisfied that all was and would be quiet lor the night, Ii
ordered Lieut. Henderson to the barracks in command of ]
the men, and went home myself and retired to rest.
I am, very respectfully,

mandant ol the Marine Corps.
The facts and statements in tiie preceding report beget se
rious reflections. It has been our good fortune to know
(or many years the author of this repoit. Those w'ho know
him best value him most. There is no one in the. District
who unites more close than the Captain does the refine
ments otl honor, the valor of the soldier, and the kindness
ol a gentleman. He knows that the duties of a soldier
are of the highest confidence and responsibility; aud that
there are ernes in humansflairs which require the exertion
ol firmness promptitude et.d decision, ft often liappens
that such qualities can alone preserve the public peace, and
prevent the effusion of human blood. Such a crisis ia
clearly depicted in the report beiore us.
A Iree, uobought, unmolested exercise of the electoral
franchise, according to the laws and constitution of the
country, is a sacred light and an invaluable blessing, pre
cious to fietmetr and formidable to tyrants only No po
litical party that aims at power by striving to bully and
intimidate the voters is w orthy the confidence of the peo
ple or the benefits of good government: and every attempt
to control the polls by lawless violence and irrtinridatiorr
should be baffled by a determined, persevering resistance.
The wicked and concerted eflorts made in various quar
ters of the Uuion to murder outright our democratic bre
thren ior discharging their duties at the polls strikes at the
very foundations upon which our noble ancestors reared
the great fabric of American institutions, aud is a crime
which,in magnitude and atrocity, as iar transcends any
mere personal outrage as the welfare of the Uuion ex
ceeds the value of any individual.
The lawless miscreants who hailed from Baltimore on
the morning of our city elections, were hired to assault
our democratic brethren,to control the polls, and to revive,
ii possible, the expiring embers of the know nothing confla
gration. V\ idled hopes, but vain.
YVe lament the bloodshed which our contest for equal
risrlits and sacred laws brought upon innocent persons
But we do not scruple to affirm that ali the blood and
havoc which stained our city were caused by the uupro
voked violence of the plug uglies, and their aiders and
abettor?. Their as-aults were so smiden and murderous
that ur itber the dispersed militia nor any volunteer com
pany could he formed and marched to the scene of outrage
in time to prevent the butchery of the demociadc voters.
In such a ctisis, the most convenient and expeditious as
sistance became neet ssary, and lor calling out the marines
to aes..-t the civil magistrates and p-iiie-, the goverinent is
entitled to the highest praise. The marines, too, well
merit the confidence of government, for, hv their firmness
and promptitude, tin V stopped the rl • lighter, repelled the
ruffians, and restored to YVashington the blessings ol law
and order.
YY’e cannot close this article wi hout bearing witness to
the promptitude, energy , and dal ing displayed by General
iiende.Tion duiing the riot. Although not in command
of the marines, and simply acting a- a private ci.izen this
veteran and gallant officer was in the midst ol the affray,
fearlessly exposing his person to p e murderous missiles
ol the rioters in the vain hope of- being able to restore
peace and ruder by rvr.'riolic counsels aud words of con
ciliation. — Wash. Union , 13f h.

Deßow’s Review tor June, copies from tire N O, Delta
a very interesting article upon the history ot the cane in
Louisiana,prepared by Mr. Avequin. From it we make
a summitry ol the eflorts used to introduce the cane in that
State. Tire first cane brought into the colony was in 1751
Irom St Domingo. It was tiro Malabar or Bengal varte
ty, since termed tile creole cane, aud was sent by the Jesuits
ot Port au i’rvneqto tireit brethren in New Orleans. The
reverend tarh- rs persisted lor several years in the attempt
(<■ nutu alrze the cane and manufacture sugar, hut up to
1763 their attempts wore discouraging, and even fruitless,
nor did several wealthy planters, who tried ttie experiment
on a large scale, meet with any better success, in 1764
and ’65 several planters treed again, and succeed in mak
ing a .-nr. II quantity of had sugar, wh.eh looked exaetly
Ike tuununlnde or guava jelly, lrr the latter year, a yes
Si 1 win ir sailed fioiij I rauce, took out a number of barrels
to complete her cargo, but it was so interior that it all
leaked out before reaching port. In ITC9 the manufacture
of sugar was tota ly abandoned in Louisiana, those who
had tried it having beeo,: e discouraged at their re
peated failures and heavy losses. A lew individuals con
tinued the culture of the cane on a small scale for the pur
pose ofretailmg to children, and h r making tafia or rum
ot tiie juice. In 1790 ihe only person who kepi up its cul
tivation was a Spaniard living some teo miles below New
Orleans, who made rum of the juice, which met with a
ready sale. His plantation and works were purchased by
a merchant of New Orleans, named Mendez, who employ
ed a man oi experience to conduct the operations. Tnis
experiment was only partially succestul, as tiiey made a
tew barrels iu 1791, and in 1792 they succeeded in refining
some of it, and presented to Don Rendon, then Spanish
Intendant of Louisiana, a few small loaves of white sugar,
one of which was about enough to sweeten two cups ot
c flee. In 1792, Etienne Bore, a planter, entered into the
speculation with a view of retrieving his broken fortunes
causid by the loss of Iris indigo crops. He bought
cane of Mendiz. and made arrangements for works similar
to those in St. Domingo. Alter consuming two years in
planting ami building, their expectations began lo he real
i7,ed, and the next year t1?96) proved one ot li umph to
Bore, his difficulties were overcome, and his crop brought
$12,000. The powerful incentive roused him to tuither
eflorts, and this branch of industry was thenceforth firmly
established iu Louisiana. Many planters followed his ex
ample, and ail proved eminently successful.
At that time (1797) there were but two varietie- oi sugar
cane in Louisiana, tiro Malabar, or Bengal, and tire Ota*
heite, the latter having probably been brought Irom St.
Domingo about 1795 They have both disappeared, or
nearly so ; having given place lo the purple or red ribbon
cane of Java or Batavia The latter produce two varieties,
the one good, the other worthless, which is described else
where YY’e give tire remainder of the article in the words
of: he writer:
“The red or purple ribbon cane, as we have said, is a
native of Java, und probably of some other parts of India.
The Dutch had already met with it in Batavia, in a state
ol cultivation. T hey introduced it about the
the last century to St. Eustalius, Curacoa, Guiana, and Su
linam. it thence was spread over all the YV’est Indian Is
lands and pari of the American continent.
“In 1814, or thereabouts, an American schooner irom
St. Eustatius, a Dutch colony, imported a lew bundles oi
th is eane into Savannah, Ga. They were planted by a
Mr K tig, not tar from the mouth ol the Savannah river,
on St. Simon’s 1-land. They grew well, and Mr. King
began the manufacture ol sugar.
’’ln 1817 adozen of the plants were brought to New
Orleans try J, hir Jos. Coiron, who planted them in hi
garden at Terre aux Freni-. Having succeeded admirably
in these. Ylr Coiton in 1825 imported a sloop load from
Savannah; which he planted on hia estate, known as the
St Sophie Plat tation, about thirty six tndes below New
Oilcans. I hence originated the ribbon cane or Javanese,
which is tire one most g. nerally grown in Louisiana
“The red or pu:ple tibbon cane and viulel (which is a de
generate species) are the two best varieties ever cultivated
in Louisiana. They are hardy, and are not injured by a
cold of two or three degrees ol tire Centigrade mermome
ler. They are however, not worth the Otahenan or the
Saiangor in tropical regions They are less juicy than the
Malabar, Bengal, ’Fauna, or Otaheitan ; and although their
juice is a little impure, it possesses excellent manufacturing
qualities when'mature. The varieties have made tiie for
tunes of tiie planiers of Louisiana. They have stood the
seventy of the seasons; lire other kinds are riot suitable to
the climate of Louisiana. The planters of this State o*e
to John Jos. Coiron a debt which should he recognized and
paid by a statute or public monument equally lasliug and
conspicuous. lie died about twenty five years ago, without
having lived to realize or amicipate the extent ol the bene
fits aud wealth he bad conferred on Louisiana.”
ir is a tael uot generally known that the cane which has
been more suece-siuily cultivated limn any other in Louisi
ana, and which has produced so much wealth in that State,
was first introduced there horn our ow n immediate vicinity.
I’, as we are assured by practical men, our rich swamp
lairds oh the er-aboard and near this city, are well adaptoJ
to the culture ol the cane, w ould it not Ire good policy for
onr planters to devote a portion of their labor and capitaj
to the making of sugar. At the present high prices of sugar
the crop would be more piofitablethan either cotton er rice
By thus devertiiying the agricultural enterprize of the coun’

Can you expect perfection of Legislation in a border
Territory ? Tiie Legislator, as well as the pioneer, must
adapt himself to the inconveniences of wilderness lite. The
law is no less sacred when made in a log hut than when
made in the lollies capilol. Y’ou can neither expect the
perfection of law nor the graver formalities ol the higher
order ol legislation. In the tirst Territorial Legislature
Alabama, history informs us that “James Titus was the
only member of ihe Senate He sat alone, and decided
upon lh<* acts of tiie lower House ; and adjourned and met
again with a formality quite ludrieious!” Nobody ever
thought of impeaching any law of the Territorial Legisla
Hire of Alabama, simply because the Senate was composed
of a single man ; although a quibbfer might say that the
word .d-mate has the plural signification ot a number of
persons.

Ii our Havana papers, received by the steamship

some little interest.
Copied from the Monitor of the capital, of the 28ih

sion of a bind of conspirators. Information had been
given to th© Governor of the District that they were to
meet at No. 34, PoeiF.e de Alvarado, a city school-house,
the principal ot which was the i?enordoua Micaela Ar
roy. He accordingig had a watch set upon the place, and
<>n being informed that ali was ready, lie made a descent
upon the place, accompanied by the Chief of Police. and
a lew officers. The surprise was so complete and so well
managed, that the conspirators were taken in flagrante
derelictOy and had not time to do more thanfrise, some 3
or 4 succeeding in escaping over the walls of a court
yard attached to the place, in order to restrain the oth
ers from violence and induce obedience, a pistol was tired
after the fugitives, one of w hom was wounded, as was in
ferred from a trail of blood seen on the route he took.—
Those captured were—Captain Vicente Perez Trejo, D.
Manuel Aguilar, nephew ot Santa Anna’s Minister of that

meddle in political matters again ; t-x lieut. of cavalry

We give them in detail, principally that their status
maybe ser n. Important papers and doournents were
taken with them. Their plan is stated to have been
very bloody, comprising a whole programme of barbarous
revenges. The extermination of a large number ot per
sons was resolved on. Some of the least important of
the papers taken with tin m are published, for othenf are
not given, lest their pubi c .ti- u s ouid interfere with tho
measures being taken iu reference to the nffair. These
are said lo throw much light on the ramifications ol the
project, and particularly to indicate tho chiefs of th©
movement. Tie published decum nts ©re a deposition
of D. Tomas Cenjedas, and a !■. turn D. Jo-e Ma
fia Alfaro, to Col. Lavin. The ot 1 m porta nt points in

From Panama—Gen. Walker.
The news from the Isthmus of Panama is to the 3d insf
It shows that no progress has been made in the settlement
of our aflairs with New Granada. It appears that General
Mosquera had made a proposition in the New Granadian
Senate at Bogota, to send 1000 men to the Isthmus to pro
lect it, and forty veteranos ‘officers) to Costa Rica ‘.o teach
the people of that country how to fight Yankee filibusters.
O i the 18th, the Governor issued a proclamation, declar
ing his conviction that no hostilities were likely to ensue
between the United States and New Granada ; at least
that the United States would not make any attempts at
present; that matters can be settled peaceably, and that
the officials of this state are commanded to maintain, by
ail the means in their power, peace between the native and
foreign population, and. to do away with the impression
that pervades a majority of the masses that war is inevi*
table.
Tn© Panama Star and Herald thus describes the scene
of Walker’s appearance in Panama under the guard ol
Capt. Davis:
A considerable number, natives and foreigners, crowded
round them as th*-y landed, and round the railroad office,
curious to see the man of whom, for the last two yews,
they had heard so much. The general exclamation was
of surprise—that” un hombre tun chiquito,” (such a htile
man,) could be the dread filibuster who had convulsed
Central America so long. One or two amoug the crowd
made some insulting remarks, but there was no general
demonstration of any kind.
The same paper, discoursing upon Jthe probabilities of
Walker’s return to Nicaragua, makes the following candid
HC * Be fore three months have expired from this date, unless
the United States Government interferes to prevent him.
Walker will, most probably, b back again in Central
America. He taiked about going hack as he came down
on the St. Mary’s; lie spoke anoui it* we are told, when
on the isthmus, and no doubt lie w ill use every means in
his power to accomplish it when he returns among his
friends in New Orleans. If he can nine the means to equip
fifteen hundred or two thousand men, allJSpanish Ameri
ca put together cannot keep him f .in gening a foothold
in the country ; anti if he does, he t ever will bo got out of
it again. We cannot imagine how (fen. Mora, wheu h©
had Walker io his power, did 4 rtot hind inn? and hs officers,
in the terms ol capitulation, rfever t” put their foot in Cen
tral America. We lear he will hv© to regret this important
omission. . v .
* * * * In the meantime, the Central American
States should remember that the snake is scotched, not
kiiled, and instead of quarreling over the remains of Nica
ragua,* a they seem inclined to do', stand prepared in case
of an emergency, to put down the first attempt at another
invasion, for, as we said before aud believe, if Walker
once again gets a foothold in the country, the combined
forces of Spanish America, from Mexico to Cape Horn,
will not be able to resist him, and anew nation willriteon
the ruins of the Central American Republics,
