i take great pleasure to inform your Excellency
:iit, on the 9th inst., I was advised bv the Secre

Excellency will see the promptness with which the j

son of her sympathy and good will toward that '

London, Feb. 10, 1356.
.'.nor Don Juan Rafael Mora,
San Jose de Costa Rica.
Much esteemed sir and friend : The mail wjjieh ,
brings the correspondence jof January Ist, from j
i' ista Rica, has not arrived, and in consequence 1
;i.ne nothing to sav to you in regard to mercantile j
business. As to public matters you will please |
refer to my communications of to-day, to the Min- j
..-ter By this you will see that this Government
willing to put two thousand muskets at my dis- !
sal for the service of the Republic of Costa
iliea. Nothing is said in the note about the time ;
f payment. However, I have not made up my ;
miai to take them previous to receiving instruc
ts from you, or which of the two kinds of arms
take, in case 1 should take them previous to i
ur being able to write upon the subject, I will ■
nd them in the month of March, if a vessel
-ids forPunta Arenas, without further orders from ;
1 have not vet replied officially to Lord Claren
don to offer him my most sincere thanks, in my j
nt name, and that of the Republic, for his mani
festation of sympathy and friendship for Costa
Rica: and though the affable manner in which
Lord Clarendon spoke to me, when 1 bid him fare- '
well, almost induced me to believe he would uot ;
r fuse the muskets, I will not deny the pleasure 1
felt on the receipt of Mr. Hammond’s letter. I
aid not sleep at all that night for joy. 1 sent him a
mite on the following day, stating that I would ad
dress an official note to Lord Clarendon, conveying
my thanks, and that in the meantime 1 entreated
him to send me permission from the War Depart
m?nt to examine the two kinds of muskets, so as j
' as srtain which 1 should take for the Republic.
All this is very good, hut I don’t like the intelii- I
genee from Nicaragua, where, it seems, Walker is
establishing himself, firmer and firmer, every
day. 1 cannot understand how the other States
did not unite themselves from the beginning to
expel him from Nicaragua. I have letters from
tiuateinala and San Salvador, requiring me to re
quest from this Government help and and succor ;
hut what can he done for Republics or people who
is n't make an exertion to help themselves?
When I was telling Lord Clarendon that Costa
Kica already had an army of eight hundred men
on the frontier of Nicaragua, he w as much pleased,
and said "that was a right step," an l 1 uni per- •
mladed that my having made that insinuation, is 1
one of the reasons for giving tis the muskets. The
questions pending between this country and |
tiie United States are very complicated, but there
will be no war; for this reason, that the gentle- |
men in the great Republic observe that although :
the British nation do not boast or sav much on 1
the subject, they are determined to punish the
Vankees very severely for the least insult to the
national honor. To the eyes of the whole world— i
of this country in particular a war between the j
two nations would he one of the worst of evils;
but to Central America the case w ould he very dif
ferent, as Walker and his associates would soon
bo kicked out of Nicaragua.
I send to the Government a copy of the Times, j '
in which is found a lettei from Mr. Marcv to the ( !
American Minister to Nicaragua. Though this I
letter appears to censure the Minister, and holds
out a threat to Walker, the true sense is, that in a :
short time the Government of the United States
will s . n recognize Walker's Government. May
trod help us. Yours, Ac., E. Wai.ueustein.

Sharp Practice in Banking.
i We publish the letter below received yesterday
from Mr. Kirkhah. We presume the transaction
it discloses is the same detailed iu the Atlanta In
telligencer, and copied by us. The whole affair is
! odorous of fraud on the part of the Bank, and
richly deserves the condemnation of every hon
est man. After this disclosure, on what ground
can the managers of the Merchants’ and Planters’
Bank rest a hope that its bills can obtain a circu
lation in Georgia, or its privileges as a Banking
Institution be tolerated by the people? s
. „ „ Dalton, Mav 1 1856.
James Gardner, Esq.— Dear Sir : I presented at
the counter of the Merchants and Planters’ Bank
of Dalton, Ga., 29th of April last, £IOOO, in bills of
thai bank for payment, and handed the bills to Mr
Thom pson, the Cashier. He counted the bills upon
the counter, and then picked up about one half of
them. At this time the Sheriff of Whitfield
county came in behind me and snatched up the
bills that were on the counter. The Cashier handed
him the bills he had in his hands, and he levied
upon the whole with an attachment in favor of
Preston A Co. is. Lewis, for about ten thousand
dollars. | informed the Sheriff the next dav that
I would give him a replevy bond and take the bills.
He then, to prevent me from doing so, levied two
other attachments upon the bills, making the whole
amount of attachment £48,000, competing me to
give a bond of $96,000 to get my SI,OOO out of his
hands.
All 1 can learn of this case is, that the bank
through their agents loaned Lewis a sum ofmonev
•the bills of the Merchants' and Planters' Bank of
Dalton, without any interest, for the purpose of
circulation. Lewis was to circulate them through
the West, and was to protect the bank so that the
bills should not come to the bank for redemption.
Lewis put out the bills, and a few days afterwards
they were returned to him for redemption. He re
fused to lake them up. The bills were then sent
back to Dalton. There was sent on an agent of
Preston A Co. to this place, and asfast'asthe bills
are presented at the counter, they are levied upon
by the attachments.
1 have examined the attachments; they are is
sued by a Justice of tliePeace, in the name of Pres
ton A Co., bv their Agent, a Mr. Kkbbek. The
only security is Mr. Thompson, the Cashier, who,
I understand, does not own one dollar’s worth of
property in the State; and the Justice who is :
sued the attachments acknowledged to me that so :
far as his knowlege of Mr. Thompson, he did not :
known that he was actually worth one dime. I
consider this a high handed measure, and would i
advise all persons to look out. You can publish this ‘
statement if you see fit. yours,
J. T. Kirk ham. !

Affairs in Nicaragua.
The subjoined letter from General Walker, of
Nicaragua, was read in the Senate yesterday, aud
excited the more interest from its reference to |
“British intervention” in behalf of Costa Rica.
[General Walker to Senator Weller.]
Grenada, April 15, 1856. j
Ho i. John B. AVku.uk, U. S. Senate :
My bear Sir: By the last napers from New York !
1 learn that when T was denounced in the Senate
for the conduct Nicaragua has pursued toward.,
the Transit Company, you were so generous as to
undertake to defend me from the aspersions of
men utterly ignorant of rav character. In conse- j ;
quence of this, 1 lake the liberty of writing some j ,
facts in relation to affairs here, and the facts will, ! ‘
f think, prove not unimportant to the Government I
of the United States.
You have doubtless learned from the newspa- ,
pers how pacific was the policy Nicaragua propos (
ed to pursue towards the other States of Central ,
America. Notwithstanding all our overtures of ,
peace, the neighboring Government showed them- |
selves, if not positively, at least negatively hostile
to the actual administration of Nicaragua. It was j ,
constantly asserted, not only iiere, but throughout ' ;
Central America, that the States were stimulated j
to this conduct by English and French agents, i i
But it was not until the correspondence of tin *
Consul General of Costa Rica, in London, was in- j
tercepted by me a few weeks ago, that'positive | ,
evidence was afforded of the active sympathy the j
British Governments manifests for those who op- : .
pose the Americans in Nicaragua. The corres-
pondence shows that England is furnishing arm* j
to our enemies, and at the same time the whole i j
British West India squadron is sent t > San Juan j
del Norte in order that the moral weight of tin ;
English Government may be thrown into the scale
against our Republic. j ,
I do not know how these facts may appear to j x
the people of the United States, but to me they
seem directly at variance with American princi- i j
pies and American interests. These facts are pa- _
tent to all, aud their significance is apparent to | f
the most superficial observer. There are other 1
circumstances connected with the present war I
waging in this State and Costa Rica which may j
require interpretation in order to make their ini- ( .
portance felt. c
The Government of Costa Rica has never yet t
declared war against the Government of Nicara
gua ; yet it has invaded our territories and has t
murdered American citizens who have never for
feited the protection of the United States Govern- |
merit. This lias been done under cover of a de- ! ,
cree issued by the President of Costa Rica declar ,
iug war against the American forces in the ser- ! a
vice of Nicaragua and not against Nicaragua her
self, is to deny in the most positive and offensive :
manner the right of Americans to engage in the j
service of a foreign State. Not only has this do- j
duration of war been made in this offensive anil i j
unheard of manner, but another decree has been !
published, ordering all the American prisoners of i J,
war taken by Costa Rican forces to be shot. This t
is to deny to Americans engaged in a foreign ser- (
vice the common rights to which soldiers are en
titled by the laws of war. Such decrees as those j (
I have mentioned, not only throw Costa Rica, as M
conceive, beyond the pale of civilized nations, j (
but they directly affect the honor and dignity of j |
the United States. I
Thev i the Costa Ricans) attempted to control the j
American people and keep them within a limit 1
which the American Government has never pre- j
scribed. Costa Rica says Americans shall not cm- ; ,
igrate to Nicaragua and take arms in her service. ! {
It remains to be seen whether she can sustain her- j .
self in so singular a position. In such a war as |
they arc now waging against us, there can be but [
one result. They may destroy my whole force—a 1
circumstance I deem almost impossible—they may j
kill every American now in Nicaragua, but the ; I
seed is sown, and not all the force of Spanish
America can prevent the fruit from coming to ma 1
turitv. The more savage the nature of the war (
they wage against us, the more certain the result, 1
the more terrible the consequences. I may not ;
live to see the end, but 1 feel that my countrymen j ,
will not permit the result to be doubtful. I know
that the honor and the interests of the great coun
try which, despite of the foreign service I am en
gaged in, I still love to call my own, are involved
in The present struggle. That honor must be jeal
ously maintained.
So far we have had great moral odds against us
The Ooverninant to which we all naturally look for 1
aid and comfort has treated us with coldness and
disdain. There has been |no Government to en- 1
courage us and bid us “God speed.” Nothing
but our own sense of the justice of the cause we j
are engaged in and of its importance to the conn- j
trv of our birth, has enabled us to struggle on as
far as we have done. We mat perish in the work
we have undertaken, and our cause may be for a
time hist. But if we fall, we feel it is iii the path
!of honor. And what is life or what is success in
comparison with the consciousness of having per
formed a duty, and of having co-operated, no mat
ter how slightly, in the cause of improvement and
progress? I begin, however, to leave facts, and
therefore will conclude.
I remain, with high regard, your obedient ser
vant, Wm. Walker.
Gov. Rkedkr’s Appointmknt. —A gentleman in j
Virginia calls our attention to the tact that the |
enemies of President Pierce in the South lay pe j
culiar stress upon his appointment of Governor |
Reeder as proof of his willingness to favor Free- i
soilers, and asks us whether, at the time of his ap
pointment, Gov. Reeder was not regarded as a
sound uaiional Democrat. It is in our power to
answer this question with entire confidence, and
to sav down to the time that Governor Reeder
went to Kansas to assume the duties of Governor •
of the Territory there had not been, so far as we ]
i ever heard, or so far as the President j
t ever heard, a breath of suspicion as to his i
■ mining Freesoil or Abolition sentiments. lie was j
appointed under the strongest assurances that, he j
was strictly and honestly a national man. We are j
i able to state, further, oil very reliable authority, !
that whilst Gov. Reeder was m Washington, at I
the time of his appointment, he conversed with j
j southern gentlemen on the subject of slavery, and ■
i he assured them that he had no more scruples in j
1 buying a slave than a horse, and he regretted that '
he had not money to purchase a number of slaves j
i to carrv with him to Kansas. We have under-!
! stood that lie repeated the same sentiments on his
wav to Kansas. We will repeat what we have had
occasion to sav more than once heretofore —that
no man has ever been appointed by President
’ Pierce to office who was not at the time under
stood bv him to be a faithful adherent of the Bal
timore platform of 155"2 on the subject of slavery.
If am- appointments were made contrary to this
rule, it was done under a misapprehension as to
the positions of the appointees. We may add
that the evidences of Gov. Reeder s soundness
were so strong that President Pierce was slower
than many others to believe him a f reesotler alter
h ■ had gone to Kansas. It is, therefore, the gross
est injustice to refer to Gov. Reeder s appoint
ment as proof of the President’s willingness to 1
favor Freesoilers.— Washington Vnnn,

Congressional.
Washington, May 2.—Senate.— A message was
received from the President of the United Htates
transmitting a report of the Secretary of State
with documents in relation to the settlement of
the controversy withregard to the Lobos Islands;
also, a message from the same, transmitting a let
ter from the Post Master General and the corres
pondence in relation to the mail transportation be
tween Atlantic and Pacific possessions, in which
the President commends the subject to the earlv
consideration of Congress.
Mr. Benjamin addressed the Senate on the Kan
sas question. He said that for the third time with
in the short history of our Republic had its inter
nal peace been imperilled, and each tune the dis
turbing element had been the same. In 1820,
when it was endeavored to admit Maine into the
Union and exclude Missouri, for the purpose of se
curing harmony, the Missouri Compromise was
agreed to ; but that did not answer the desired
object. Scarcely had it passed, when it was broken
by nearly every Western State; it was scorned,
derided and repudiated. When, in 1850, the South
proposed its extension to the Territory acquired
from Mexico, that proposition was contemptuously
rejected. When, in 1854, it was finally agreed to
repeal in terms that which for more than a quarter
of a century had ceased to have any active effect,
that was made use of as a ground for vituperation
towards the South. She was accused of violating
her plighted faith, with very much the same regard
for truth that has recently been observed here in
the mendacious tales in regard to the affairs of
Kansas.
The policy of seeking for other compromises than
those contained in the Constitution, was a mistaken
policy on the part of the South, and he (Mr. B.)
thanked Heaven that the South had at length be
come aware of its mistake. She had no longer
any compromises to offer or to accept. She would
j adhere to the Constitution, and if its provisions
should be violated to her injury, then she would
; calmly and resolutely withdraw from a compact,
all the obligations of which she is expected scru
pulously to fulfill, and from all the benefits of
which she is iguominiously repulsed. He argued
; that the Constitution might be us plainly violated
| by the abuse of the powers expressly conceded in
it, as by the usurpation of powers not therein con
: tained. lie contended that the crusade against
i slavery on the part of the North was merely a
; struggle for power. A principal motive of the
North to sustain the negro or Black Republican
cause, was an ignorance of facts.
They bad been so misled by a continuous per
■ version of the truth as to induce them almost to
bate the white man of the South, and love the
black man in preference. The graphic narrations
‘ of Uncle Tom's Cabin was preferred to history
| and official statistics.
In conclusion, he said, the Whig party was dis
i solved, because a common cement was wanting;
and lie said that whether right or wrong the bare
: suggestion that the Senator from New York Mr.
Seward,) was in favor of General Scott for the
Presidency, was fatal to his success. The opposi
tion of the Senator would have secured many
Southern votes for General Scott which he failed
to receive.
Mr. Cass asked and obtained permission to ad
dress the Senate, on Thursday next, in defence ot
“ squatter sovereignty,” which had been assailed
by Mr. Brown.
Mr. Seward replied to Mr. Benjamin’s allusions
to his political course.
Mr. Hale, alluding to what he said, were grossly
personal attacks upon him in Mr. Clay’s recent
speech, remarked that he had but one word to .sub
mit in reply: That it will take something besides
malignity to redeem imbecility from contempt!
Mr. Clay sprung to his feet, greatly excited, say
ing: 1 defy the Senator’s malice us much ns I con
temn his baseness. No man shall assail my rights
or those of my constituents, and shirk his respon
sibility by skulking behind a plea of non-combat- ’
anev. If he had been animated by those heroic
ftelings which lie professes, he would not come
upon this floor, and, under the protection of its i
rules, seek immunity for his insolence. I know lie j
is pleased by this attention. There are those of j
his class who, like the London Attorney, Mark j
Meddle, in the play, are ambitions of a kick. |Sen- j
sation.l
He concluded by remarking tlml he had nothing
more to say to that Senator, having twice declined
his acquaintance; and he asked pardon of the Sen
ate for consuming so much time about a Senator
who soils the carpet upon which he treads.
Mr. Hale replied that he had never sought an
introduction to him but once, and that was on pro
fessional business for the benefit of a citizen of
Alabama.
Mr. Clay rejoined. He did not think his reputa
tion for veracity would .suffer by conflict with one
who had repeatedly eaten his own words.
Mr. Hale replied that if he did cat his own words,
he would have a more palatable meal than the
Senator from Alabama, if he should undertake to
eat his. (Laughter.)

A Pleasant Scene in the ('union.
We translate from the Press? J'Orient the fol
lowing letter, dated Woronzoff, describing the
spectacle witnessed on the banks of the Teheruaya
on the 14th of March, when the definitive signa
ture of the armistice by the Allied and Russian
Generals took place. The litter says:
“The monotony of our existence has been dis
turbed by a long-looked for event. Yesterday,
March 14th, the armistice was signed. Up to that
time all communications had been verbal. The
lino of demarcation between the two armies is the
Teheruaya. The stipulations of the armistice are
now written and signed.
“ Yesterday, then, a large French tent was pitch
ed at the end of the Traktir bridge, on the left
bank, 011 our own Territory. General Martimprey,
chief of-the stall'of the French army, accompanied
by the chiefs of the English and Sardinian stall's,
repaired thither towards one o’clock. Almost at
the same moment the chief of the Russian stuff ar
rived. The interview lasted an hour and a half,
and the Generals parted, interchanging cordial
hand shakings and with evident marks of mutual
esteem.
“The scene was a peculiar one. The Russian
General escorted by several platoons of Don Cos
sacks, with their brilliant red uniforms and long
lances. At a short distance, at the foot of the
plain, a small column of infantry and cavalry was
ranged in order of battle. On our side a detach
ment of Zouaves, in line array, was placed near
the tent, around which sentinels were posted. A
large number of officers of all divisions of the four
armies had arrived in the plain of the Tchernava,
and literally covered both banks, every one in liis
epaulets and with sabre at his side. There was a
real fraternization between the two sides, and wo
again witnessed an expression of those sympathies
which we have so often remarked between the
French and Russians. Several officers recognised
one another, having met before in the armistices
which occurred during the siege. So gourds and
bottles began to fly I'rom’one bank to another, as
bullets used to fly a little while ago. More than
one fell into the water, but the greater part reach
ed their destination safely.
“ A brilliant young Russian officer, with his left
arm iu a sling, was followed by two solders carry
ing a heavy basket. ‘ Where are Ihe Zouave offi
cers, gentlemeu ?’ demanded he. ‘This way,’an
nounced several officers of the corps. 'lt is t"o on#
! of you,’ was the reply, ‘that I owe my wound ;
j your very good health!’ and with his well arm lie
1 hurled, one afier another, three bottles of cliani
i pange, which were emptied in a twinkling. The
j Zouaves, in turn, sent back several bottles. Two
'of them were broken on the way. ‘Keep the
I corks,’ was the cry; ‘tve will change them at
1 Paris!’ ‘At Paris!’exclaimed the Russian officers,
amid immense applause. The champagne was
choice. The Russians sustain their reputation for
good taste. 1 have Jthree of the aforesaid corks;
two of them bear the brand Ve Cliquot, one that
of Lelegard & Co., and all three the name of the
i city of Rheims. We interchanged our names,
j anil among our foes was 11 nephew of General Lu
| ders.
| “Upon our right, in the rear, the scene was rnag
! nifieent. To the light were seen the Fedouchine
mountains, covered with troops who had come
i down en masse from their encampment—French,
i English and Sardinians intermingled. Behind 11s
i there was a like spectacle on the crest of the forti
i Bed rampart which commands the valley and
; which rises bv degrees, by the Canrobert redoubt,
till it reaches the plains of Inkermann. Every
I arm was raised, caps were waved, and immense
I hurrahs (lew from one bank to another, it was
really a moving and exciting spectacle.
“Add to all this that several English ladies cara-
j coled to the end of the bridge, where their pre
sence was hailed with cheers and all other demon
strations. Some words were uttered by the eharm
; ing troopers. They were not perhaps those of civ
j ilit v or of good taste ; they were perhaps those of
badly expressed gallantry; but thev were piquant.
| All heads were raised and everything went off

The Prospectin' Kentucky. —The change of pub
! lie sentiment in Kentucky ( says the Yeoman) to
wards the dangerous doctrines of Know Nothing
ism. is aptly illustrated by the relative strength of
the party presses. Just prior to the gubernatorial
election last August the Know Nothing papers out
numbered the Demeratic and anti-Know Nothing
by a majority of eleven. Now the list stands:
Democratic, nineteen; Know Nothing, nineteen;
and independent or Whig, three. Within the past
twelve months a number of Know Nothing papers
have died for the want of support, and several
Democratic presses have been established. These
indications are definite ars to the result of the Pres
idential contest in this State. Kentucky cannot
and will not vote for the Know Nothing candidates.
Washington Union.
From the Correspondence of the Baltimore Sun.
\\ AsiiiNGTON, May 2. —The decision of the Cabi
net, upon the question of the reception of the new
minister from Nicaragua, has not been made known.
The new minister is in New York, but will not
come to Washington uninvited, uor present him
self an unwelcome applicant for recognition to Mr.
Marcy.
It is a question before the administration wheth
er any and what notice shall be taken of the inter
position by the British government in behalf of
Costa Rica in the present conflict. There is noth
ing in the Clayton-Balvver treaty which restricts
either party from forming alliances, offensive and
defensive, with any or all of the Central American
States, still less from selling arms to either of them.
The question for our own government to consider
is, whether they shall imitate and go bevond the
example of Great Britain, and after recognising
the new government, proceed to afford it material
aid.
It will require no appropriation— no repeal of
the neutrality laws to do this—as we have recent
ly seen, in the fact that Walker is receiving rein
forcements from New Orleans and other quarters,
without the slightest hindrance from this Govern
ment.
The state of things at Panama calls for prompt
action from this Government. We have a treaty
with New Granada which hinds both Governments
to protect the Panama transit. The Government
of New Granada will of course be called upon to
bring the persons who took part in the late riots
and murders *o punishment, and to break up their
den, which, as long as it exists, will threaten the
safety of passengers on that route. lon.

MELL’S PATENT PLOW STOCK!
fEtll E undersigned has invented and patented
s a most valuable improvement in the PLOW
STOCK the county rights for which he desires to
sell. He prefers To let others speak its praise, and
therefore introduces the following certificates, from
two planters, well and favorably known in the
community in which they reside. He might in
troduce many others, but the Plow Stock will
speak for itself whenever examined
JAMES B. MELL.
Riceboro’, Liberty county, Ga.
This is to certify that 1 have, with my own hands, j
thoroughly tested the newly invented Plow Stock
ot Janus B. Mell, Esq. Jn point of simplicity and t
perfection, T have never seen or used its equal. In j
it is combined every thing that 1 could wish in a :
Plow Stock, and it, in my opinion, is the cheapest j
and the best that has ever been offered to the pub- j
lie. 1 speak from having used it with my own i
hands. I was raised to follow the plow, and think !
that f know how one ought to run. 1 would cheer- !
fully thank any one, who will thoroughly try it, to !
point out to me one single fault in it. It is easier
upon the horse and the plowman than any that I !
have ever used.
The principle upon which you regulate the depth !
of the Plow is so simple, and yet so perfect, us to '
commend itself to any one; and the Stock is adapt- i
ed to any kind of Plow Hoe. It is, moreover, just j
as light as any could desire it to be. 1 would re
commend to any and all, if they wish the best and j
cheapest Plow Stock, without hesitation to get Mr. i
James B. Moll’s. 1). W. Wilson.
Pentield, Ga., April 15, 1856.
In company with several others, I, this dav, wit- !
nessed the trial of Mr. James B. Moll’s Plow Stock,
by Mr. D. \Y. Wilson, and cheerfully state that all j
present were fully satisfied that it does everything
as stated above. I would, moreover, state that 1
have been using them on my farm for several
months, and every day serves to confirm me in the
opinion of the superiority of Mr. Mell’s Plow Stock
to all others now in use. Thomas P. Janes.
