Dr. Cavanaujli—Dear Air: I wish hereby to make

the Piles for twenty years or upwards, and at times most
severely. Arm duringa recent and exceedingly painful
attack, a friend procured a box of your Aalve and asked
me to give it a trial. I did so. Not, however, with the
expectation of henefiuing my disease, for truly, I ind
t ried so many applicaiions 1 had lost confidence in all
Rut in making n.-erf your 6’aive, I soon found that it
was doing me good ; and really it is inert dile to myself,
that with only about two weeks use of your Solve, I
am, so far as I can judge, a well man.

due both to yourself anti such as may he afflicted with
this most trying and painful disease. I do not heslate to
say that I consider your preparation an invaluable rem

A Lyric of Lore.
The Lark that nestles nearest earth,
To Heaven’s gate nighest sings
Arid loving thee, my lowly life
Doth mount on Lark-like wings!
Thine eyes are starry promises;
And affluent above
All measure in its blessing, is
The largess of thy love.
Merry as laughter ’mong the hills,
Spring dances at my heart! •
And at my wooing Nature's soul
Into her face will start!
The Queen-moon, in her starry bower,
Looks happier for our love;
A dewier splendor fills the flower,
And mellower coos the Dove.
My heart may sometimes blind men’s eyes,
With utterance of tears.
But feels no pangs for thee, beloved!
But all the more endears;
And if life come with cross aud care
Unknown in years of yore,
I know thou’lt half the burthen hear.
And 1 am strong once more.
And now I see my life was shorn
That like the forest brook,
YYlieu leaves are shed, my darling soul
Up in heaven’s face might look!
And blessings on the storm that gave
Me haven on thy breast,
Where life hath climax like a wave
That breaks in perfect rest.

The bar-room of the >St. Charles Hotel
at New Orleans, always a scene of stir and
hustle, presented a more than usually
excited aspect on the morning of the 28tli
of last December; a degree of unwonted
earnestness might have been observed in
the countenances of some of the groups
collected over cocktails, who, after touch
ing each other’s glasses with an air of tierce
determination, and disposing oftheir con
tents with a defiant toss of the head, sep
arated with so much hearty handshak
ing, and accompanied their parting bless
ings with so many ejaculations partaking
of an exactly opposite character, that their
next meeting was clearly, in their opinion,
a distant and problematical event. On
that eventful morning I myself had gone
through an extensive and varied course of
beverages, for I was fortunate enough to
possess many friends in New Orleans; and
as I was about to leave them, a number of
parting-cups were necessarily involved.—
The influence that hotel bars exercise over
the lives and fortunes of individuals in
America, invests the institution with an
importance wich the stranger is at first
sight apt to overlook. At the bar many
agreeable and profitable acquaintances
may be made, and friendships he cemented.
Here, too, are hard bargains struck, aud
good stories told, and insults given and re
ceived, which result in duels fought under
a wonderful variety of conditions, and re
conciliations effected, and political intrigue
concocted, and opinions ventilated; here
men celebrate their first meeting after a
long and eventful interval of years, and
here they pledge each other before parting,
to join some adventurous expedition, from
which they have little chance of returning.
New Orleans is, of all others, the city of
the United States where “the bubbling
passions of the country” most freely find
a vent. It is conveniently situated, in a
fillihustering point of view, and a favorite
point of concentration for the most reckless
spirits of the South, who find in the mixed
and somewhat rowdy crowd which throng
its streets and bars a congenial atmosphere.
It is not to be suppposed, however, that
this constitutes the society of New Orleans.
While this fluctuating population is com
posed of such varied materials, its social
attractions are so great, if not greater,
than those of any other city in the Union.
In its clubs the visitor will find a cordial
and hearty welcome; at its opera he will
be fascinated by an array of beauty more
brilliant than can he found in any other
house of the same limited dimensions, and
and he will only have himself to blame, if
if lie is contented to confine his experiences
to the range of his lognette, should lie ex
tend them beyond it, he will in all proba
bility find himself lingering in the Crescent
City, long after the secret convic
tion has been forced upon him, that, as
a resolute conscientious traveller, he is
hound to prosecute the object, whatever it
may be (and we will give him credit for
having one), which has induced him to
start upon his travels. But if I -would not
fall into the very sin against which I am
warning others, I must not remain dallying
any longer at New (Irleans. It was quite
inexcusible to diverge from the St. Charles
Hotel to the opera, seeing that we are on
our way to Nicaragua; and so, as Walter
Cay said, when he finally tore himself
away from the affectionate embraces of
Cap’en Cuttle, “now I am off - ” The
departure of the steamer Texas for Grey-
town, with recruits for Walker’s army,
was the cause of the excitement which
prevailed in all the. places of public resort
in the city, -which I have already described
—an excitement which derived an ad
ditional interest from the fact that it partly
increased by some rumors which had been
current tor a day or two previously, that
the United States Government had deter
mined to lay a veto upon the departure of
the steamer at the last moment—a pro
ceeding to which the free and independent
citizens of New Orleans were by no means
disposed tamely to submit; and announce
ments to that effect, in the forcible lan
guage peculiar to the country, rendered the
moment of the steamboat’s departure
one of more than ordinary interest, The
good ship Texas was moored to the levee,
amidst a host of shipping, and a fleet of
Mississippi steamboats, which latter give
to the port of New Orleans a character un
like that of any other port in the world.—
We picked our way across these extensive
wharves, between barrels of sugar and
molasses, through lanes formed by hales
of cotton, past tobacco from Kentucky and
Missouri, amid hags of com and barrels of
pork from Illinois and Iowa; in fact,
through all that varied produce, which is
grown for two thousand miles upon the
banks of this mighty river, and which finds
its port of export at New Orleans. The
raw material, however, which possessed the
highest interest in my eyes, was that with
which I was to be associated, and which
was now crowding the deck of the Texas,
in the shape oftwo hundred and fifty “free
companions,” hound for certain lands of
the sunny South, with the laudable deter
mination of appropriating the same. A
large crowd had collected upon the Levee
to wish us God-speed, and 1 parted with a
number of friends who had come down to
see me off, with feelings of a somewhat un
usual description. The crowd, generally,
seemed to regard us with mingled feelings
of compassion (for thoso who have gone to
to Nicaragua hitherto have seldom return
ed), of admiration (for the desperate
nature of the adventure commanded this),
and of sympathy (for was not the object
laudable/)- So that we were rather lions,
on the whole, more particularly when
slightly intoxicated and highly enthusiastic
individuals harangued those ou shore from
the side of the ship, and were responded to
by short spasmodic cheers, and observa
tions ironical or genuine, according to the
sympathies of the speaker. A number of
oblong deal cases, very ominous in appear
ance, for they looked like unostentatious
coffins immediately preceded me, and I
learned afterwards that they contained
two hundred rifles, to be used upon an occa
sion hereinafter to he named. A good
deal of delay took place, after we got on
strange to look upon this handful of men,
who, confident in their superior energy and
courage, were about to throw themeslves
boldly into a foreign country, and, enroll
ing themselves under its banner,’ add to the
small but determined force which now-
forms its army, and in whieli there is scarce
a native of the country. They left New
Orleans as emigrants for Nicaragua,they ar
rive there as soldiers in its its army; and so
long as they continue to leave the United
board, consequent upon the non-arrival of a 1 States in the former capacity, the Gov-
certain Colonel Titus of Kansas notoriety,
who was hourly expected from that tran
quil territory with one hundred and fifty
emment cannot prevent them for doing so.
It was a significant indication of the age
to see this magnificent steamer, the product
boys,” who had been helping him to keep of a high state of civilization, employed in
conveying across these very seas, where
Kidd and Morgan won immortal renown,
men bent upon an enterprise in some re
spects not very dissimilar in character,
but yet differing in this important feature
that bucaneers sacked cities and robbed
churches, and stored their plunder away
for their own behoof in secluded islets,
while filibusters have nobler and higher
aspirations, and seeking to possess them
selves, not of gold and silver ornaments,
but a magnificent and fertile country, they
desire to replace the inefficient govern
ment, w hich left its resources undevelop
ed, by one which they would themselves
supply, and, regenerating a neglected
State,give prosperity to its inhabitants,and
a profitable market to the world at large.
Those are the motives by which these
gentlemen declare themselves animated,
and if the process is somewhat rude, the
results are desirable. At all events it is a
mode of colonization peculiar to the age,
and as such,an interesting object of contem
plation. Meantime we were drawing near
Grevtown, and speculation was rife as to
whether the cofiin-shaped boxes would
have to he opened or not. That such a
contingency might occur, we were led to
expect, from a fact that a report had reach
ed New Orleans before our departure, to
the effect that Vanderbilt had sent one
hundred and fifty men toOmoa, in Hondu
ras, but that in all probability tlieir real
destinaiton was Greytown, where they
were intended to arrive before us,
so as to obtain possession of the Point, npon
which the buildings of the Transit Com
pany were situated, and which was a sub
ject of dispute between Vanderbilt and
Morgan, the present proprietor of the line.
In the “event of this occupation having
taken place, we were prepared forcibly to
eject the intruders, who probably would
not calculate upon our arriving thus thor
oughly armed.
Great, therefore, was the excitement,
as we neared the month of the river San
Juan, and saw the pilot coming skipping
out to us over the bar, in his little cockle
shell of a boat, to hear the news, and great
er still was our wonderment and dismay to
learn that the Point was in the hands, not
of the men sent by Vanderbilt from New
York, but of the Costa Ricans, led, how
ever, by a Captain Spencer, an agent of
this same man, the most indefatigable ene
my of Walker and Morgan. The San
Juan river forms a sort of lagon before
entering the sea. On the northern shore
is the town of Greytown, on the southern
a flat spfc of land runs out to the bar, and
is called Point Arenas. Upon this are
situated the Company’s buildings, and
thither were all glasses directed as we
rounded the Point, and came slowly up to
our anchorage in a state of extreme per
plexity and indecision, for we could not
sec the Costa Ricans anywhere. At last
we perceived a miserable bit of red bunt
ing, said to be the Costa Rican flag, fly
ing over a h ut about two hundred yards
<tff, in front of which was anchored a small
river-steamer, and on board this craft, we
were assured, was the redoubtable Captain
Spencer and his Costa Ricans. Immedi
atcly on this becoming certain, prepara
tions were made for taking the said boat
which was in fact the one by which we
had been destined to pursue our own voy
age up the river. The men, who from the
moment of our crossing the bar, had not
been allowed to show themselves on deck
for fear of allowing the enemy to perceive
the extent of our force, were nowall drawn
up on the lower deck. The coffin-shaped
boxes were opened, arms and ammunition
were served out to the men, who were
nowon the tip-toe of expectation. Indeed
we all looked forward to some excitement
after the monotony of the voyage. While
these preparations were in progress, and
matters were beginning to assume a war
like aspect, Captain Cockbum, of H. M.
S. Cossack, came on board to learn the
state of affairs. He found a few peacea
ble-looking individuals strolling about the
deck, and was assured that no violence
would be resorted to. Orfthe other hand,
he expressed the utmost desire on the part
of the British naval authorities to main
tain a strict neutrality, in so far as the
rival claims in the property of the Transit
Company were concerned, but at the same
time wished it clearly to be understood
that, in waters under British protection,
no bloodshed, or destruction of life or
property, would be allowed. As the cap
ture of the steamer could scarcely be effect
ed without a struggle, the partisans of
Walker would have probably found them
selves in a dilemma, had not the difficulty
been solved by the prompt departure of
Captain Spencer, who had simply waited
to inspect our appearance, and not liking
the proximity of a large steamer, which he
had good reason to suspect contained a
strong hostile force, he slipped quietly
away up the shallow waters of the river,
where it was impossible, ^itbout another
river-steamer (which we end not possess),
to follow him, and was no more seen. To
add to the difficulty of the position, we
found that all the river and lake steamers,
to the number of seven, were in the pos
session of the gallant captain and his Cos
ta Rican associates, and that all possibility,
therefore, of proceeding up the river to
join Walker, was at an end. The disas
trous intelligence was communicated to
us by various excited personages who had
come down from Walker, and been pres
ent at one or other of the events of which
they were the valuable narrators, and who
now found themselves cut off from anj T
possibility of return. Regrets for what
might have been done were now idle.—
The curses heaped upon the head of the
devoted Spencer hut little affected that
acute individual, who was now chuckling
over his success, and strengthening the de
fences of the l iver; and while I shall leave
my quondam friends to devise plans for
forcing their nay past these, it may be in
teresting to give some account of the man
ner in which an operation was effected,
calculated so seriously to injure the pros
pects of General Walker, and to render
the work of reopening a communication
with him, from the Atlantic side, one of the
utmost daugerand difficulty. The follow
ing account, taken from the Bolelin Offi
cial of San Jose, the capital of Costa Rica,
is said to be derived from undoubted au
thority:—
“It appears that the Costa Rica Gov
ernment, in addition to the army it'has
sent to co-operate with the allied forces
against W&.V ■*. 7u Nicaragua, "^solved up-
the peace there, and who, now that their
services were no longer needed, were going
to make themselves useful elsewhere.—
Thick fogs, however had prevented their
coming “to time,” and so we were obliged
at last to start without them, and
once more waving our adieus, we east oft
from the wharf, unmolested by the myr
midons of Marcv, and amid the cheers
of the populace dropped slowly down the
river.
All that night and the following day we
were enveloped in fogs so thick that our
progress was but slow, and their depress
ing influence seemed to be felt onboard; the
men had not shaken down into their births;
the decks were wet and uncomfortable; and
it was not until we had crossed the bar,
and left the river and its fogs behind us, that
we began to feel at home,when it was time to
establish regular discipline among the men.
Various contretemps before starting had re
duced our force from 500, the number at
which it was orignally estimated, to 250.
It was only necessary, however, to see
these men mustered, to perceive their
value as irregular troops, peculiarly fitted
for the style of warfare in which, ton cer
tain extent, every man would be called
upon to rely upon himself. They were di
vided into five companies, each having a
captain and two subalterns; these had all
been raised in different States by enter
prising young men, who received, as a re
ward for their exertions, rank proportion
ate to the number of men whom they en
listed. The inducement held out to them
was a grant of land as soon as the country
should be settled, and, in the mean time,
twenty-five dollars a-month. to be paid in
scrip. There was nothing, however, in
the aspect of these men, to lead one to sup
pose that they had embarked in the enter
prise form mercenary motives alone. The
spirit of adventure was the moving cause
with nearly all: some were well off in their
own country, others had left from personal
motives which had in many cases rendered
them reckless; while some were soldiers (if
fortune—men who were unable to live
except under the exciting influence of gun
powder.
It was a never-ending source of interest
to me to hear from their own lips the ad
ventures of men whose whole life had been
passed in constant exposure to danger in
every form. There were men of every
nationality, who had fought in every part
of the world. One company was composed
entirely of Germans. There were Hunga
rians who had bled at Segeden; Italians
who had fought at Novara; I’russians who
had gone through the Schleswick Holstein
campaigns; Frenchmen who had fought in
Algeria; Englishmen who had been in our
own artillery in the Crimea; Americans
who had taken partin both the Cuban ex
peditions, and suffered a year’s imprison
ment in Spain; others fresh from Kansas;
while among the younger ones were those
who had not yet fleshed their maiden
bowies, and were burning to have some
deeds of prowess of their own to relate.
Some of the officers had served already
in Nicaragua, and were returning from
leave of absence: others liad been in
the United States army and were
as well-informed, gentlcmcn-like, and
agreeable as the officers in that-service
usually are.
With such an incongruous mixture, it
might have been anticipated that to keep
order would he no easy task. So far, how
ever, from this being the case, nothing
could exceed the orderly behaviour of the
men. No spirits of any kind, even on New
Year’s Day, were allowed to be issued.
The roll was called regularly morning and
evening, the officers of the day appointed,
and a guard of sixteen men told off. Nor
did the fact that no social distinction
existed been the men and officers in any
way effect the maintainance of discipline;
the men lived forward, the officers aft, and
they mixed but rarely together, though
now and then absurd mistakes arose among
some of the younger and inexperienced
officers at drill, one of whom I heard say
to lys company, “Break rank, gentlemen;
right flank march!” I am bound to say
that the gentlemen behaved themselves
as such. They were exercised daily ;tt
drill, to which they seemed to take instinc
tively. The officers of the day wore
swords buckled to their shooting-coats,
as an insignia of rank, otherwise they were
guiltless of uniform, while the men pre
sented an extraordinary variety ol cos
tume. Some wore red flannel-shirts and
and high jackboots; others in seedy
black, were clerical in appearence, as
though they belonged to a sort of church
militant; some were neat and respectable,
others detestably shabby and ragged; still,
for the most part, their countenances were
not ill-favored, and so strong was my con
fidence in their honesty at last, that I did
not take those precautions with regard to
my cabin door which I should have done,
and all my property was abstracted. My
only consolation was, that my fellow-suffer
er in the same cabin was the colonel him
self. On New Year’s Day we passed
Point Antonio, the western extremity of
Cuba, which immediately became the ob
ject of much ardent gazing through tele
scopes. and many wistful eyes were turned
upon its wooded hills, and sighs drawn
over the two last fruitless expeditions,
while the chances of success of another
were discussed, all tending to the one in
evitable conclusion, that some day or other
Uncle Sam “is hound to have Cuba.” We
glided prosperously over the smooth sea,
no event of importance disturbing the even
tenor of our voyage. On the fourth day
we passed Big and Little Corn Island.—
These islands are inhabited chiefly by free
negroes from Jamaica, who rear pigs, poul
try, and grow corn, which they take to
Greytown. The population of the largest
is about five thousand; it is eight miles
long by five broad, hilly, but fertile aud
well cultivated. In" the calm moon
light evenings the men used to collect
in groups forward to sing. In the
German company there were some excel
lent voices, and their natural taste formusic
enabled them to sing beautifully in parts.
On the opposite side of the deck a group ol
Americans were similarly engaged, and as
some piece from Handel was being execu
ted with exquisite taste and feeling by the
Germans, the boisterous “right tooral lol
looral,” &c., so dear to the Anglo-Saxon,
would strike harshly in, a characteristic
indication of our mixed company. Upon
such occasions the aspect of our crowded
deck was highly suggestive. It was
on organizing an expeditionary force for
the purpose of possessing itself of the river
San Juan, wisely judging that the efforts
made to dislodge Walker would he pro
longed, if not rendered futile, as long as
lie possessed facilities for receiving sup
plies and reinforcements by every steamer
from the United States. On the 10th of
December this force set out, not by the
Serapiqui river, as was publicly reported
and believed, but the San Carlos, another
tributary of the San Juan which enters
that river about half way between the
lake and San Juan del Norte. This was
done for the purpose of misleading a de-
tatchment of Walker’s forces who were
posted at Hipp’s Point at the mouth of the
Serapiqui.
“As this route is very little if ever used,
the Costa Ricans experienced great diffi
culties in advancing, having to cut tlieir
way through the forest along a track where
mules could not be used, and along which
all the provisions and munitions of war had
to he borne oilmen’s shoulders. Six days
were spent on the march, during which
the rain fell almost incessantly.’ At last
the cadro’ was reached, and a few canoes
were hastily constructed, and rafts made
of trunks aud trees rudely lashed together
with vines and twigs.
• “Thus these enterprising men, most of
whom had never before beheld a boat on a
navagable river, boldly embarked on the
16th December, to tloat down an unknown
stream, to its confluence with the liver
San Juan, and thence to Greytown itself.
It was indeed a perilous undertaking.—
Had these frail rafts, upon which 120 men
had ventured, met one of Walker’s steam
ers coming up or going down the river, the
the slightest contact would have been fatal
to them.
“On the morning of the 23d, the expe
dition was hauled into a creek near llipp’s
Point, to refresh the men, previous to at
tacking Walker’s post of 50 men and 2
cannon. At that moment a steamer was
heard coming down the river. The men
were made to lie down on their rafts. It
was a perilous moment. Th6 steamer
passed without any one on board having
seen or suspeeted the lurking danger. A
road or track was soon cut toward the flank
and rear of Walker’s po>t. which they si
lently reached. The signal (a single* shot)
was given. The Costa Ricans rushed
with the bayonet with horrid yells upon
their surprised foes, and in half a minute
resistance was at an end. A panic had
seized them. Some were bayoneted—the
rest sprung off the bank into the deep and
rapid river. One brave officer (Captain
Thompson) did all that mortal man could
do to rally the men, but in vain—the on
slaught was too sudden and overpowering
to admit of a resistance. Captain Thomp
son only ceased his exertions after he re
ceived a second severe bayonet-wound.
His very enemies, admiring his signal gal
lantry, liberated him subsequently at
Greytown, where also they did all in their
power to alleviate his sufferings. One
man besides Captain T. was saved from
the river, and five escaped into the forest.
The rest are said to have perished.
“A sufficient force having been left to
guard Hipp’s Point, the rest of the adven
turous band again committed their lives to
the precarious chances of the river upon
the same rafts, which had now become
rickety and insecure. They arrived close
to Greytown about 2 o’clock on the morn
ing of the 24th. Here again fortune favor
ed them; for a steamer was just getting
up her steam to ascend the river. She
was immediately taken with three others.
Had the expedition been delayed an hour
later in its descent, it must have perished.
It would indeed have been ‘touch and go;’
the slightest touch from the steamer would
have separated the slightly-bound pieces
of the rafts, and sent the Costa Ricans in
stantaneously to a watery grave.
“By dawn of day the steamers were
taken, without loss, and the Costa Ricans
also in possession of Punta Castilla (or
Punta Arenas), which they have always
claimed as belonging to their country.
“At the same time, the inhabitants of
Greytown became aware of the presence
of this unexpected invasion. The place
was soon in confusion or commotion, one
party, the most numerous, threatening
violence to the foreigners in the place
(mostly Americans), under the cry of‘Y 7 iva
Costa Rica!’ However, the officers com
manding the expedition discountenanced
any and every hostile attempt against the
inhabitants of Greytown, and left the
place next morning in the captured ves
sels.
“In the mean time, the U. S. consul
made an application to the officer com
manding the British squadron at Grey
town, to protect the property of Captain
JosianN. Scott, agent for Messrs. Charles
Morgan & Son, of New York, from a forci
ble seizure by a force of C'osta Ricans un
der the command of Colonel Joaquin Fer
nandez.
“To this, Captain John C. Erskine,
senior officer, replied from on board the
Grion, dated 24th Dec., 1856, that ‘he
had taken steps, by landing a party of
marines from one of Her Majesty’s ships,
to protect the persons and private property
of Captain John Scott, his family, and all
citizens of the United States of America;
which the officer of the Costa Riea force,
notv at Punta Arenas, also assured him
should be placed in no peril.’ Then as re-
gardsthe capture of the steamers, Captain
Erskine, in continuation, very judiciously-
expressed himself as follows:—
“To prevent all apprehension, I think it,
however, right to state that the steamers
and other property belonging to the Ac
cessory Transit Company, being at this
moment the subject of a dispute between
two different companies, the representa
tives of which are on the spot, and one of
them authorizing the seizure, I do not feel
justified in taking any steps which may
affect the interests of either party.
“With respect to the participation of a
force of Costa Ricans in the seizure and
transfer of the steamers alluded to, I must
observe that these steamers, having been
for some months past employed in em
barking at this port and conveying to the
parties with whom Costa Rica is now car
rying on active hostilities, men and muni
tions of war; it appears that as a non-bel
ligerent, 1 am prohibited by the law of na
tions from preventing the execution of such
an operation by a billigerent party.—I
have the honor, &c.,
John E. Erskine,
Capt. and Sen. Officer.
To B. S. Cottrell, Esq., U. S. Consul
at Grey town.
Dec. 24th, 1856.
“On ascending the river, when off the
mouth of the river San Carlos, (which, as
before stated, is a tributary of the river
San Juan,) one of the steamers was des
patched to ascertain if General Jose Joa
quin Mora (brother to the President of
Costa Rica) had arrived at the embarca-
dero with the main body of the expedi
tionary army; aud if so, to report the suc
cess of the expedition to Greytown, so that
measures might immediately be taken for
carrying promptly into effect the second
part of the plan of operations. On proceed
ing up the San Carlos, five men, placed
on a raft as videttes, became so frighten
ed by the noise and appearance of the ap
proaching steamer (never having before
seen or imagined the like), that they plung
ed into the river, and were drowned in the
attempt to reach the bank. The steamer
then landed two men to cut their way
through the forest to the embarcadero, m
order that General Mora might receive
timely notice that the steamer was lfo
longer an enemy, so that ^ie probability
