T BU Etcelltney, Wultam Walker, President and •. -utnantltr-iii- Chief of Nicaragua : me i submit for your Excellency’s considera ;u, a full report of all that has transpired on the un Juan river since my departure from Kiras on 'l7th December, 1856. My orders, then, were ■ proceed to the United States as agent of your '< On arrival at Castillo Rapids, I -iriu d from various sources that the Costa Ricans re then on their way to take possessio n of the -mers in the name of Cornelius Vanderbilt, of v v York. The steamer Ogden was then lying re with a lot of ordnance stores on board. lat took the responsibility of ordering her cap -4n Mr. Mahoney,) to proceed with them up to * r > Rapids, and place them on board the steamer s -rgin, and give orders to Capt. Bunker to lay in - middle of the stream, with sutiicient steam on move at a moment’s notice. Had this order been ■yed, the San J uan river would not have been -t I then came down to this place. When passing the mouth of the San Carlos river, raw a raft with ten or twelve men on it, and coll ided that what I had heard at Castillo was too "ue, and that the San Juan river was virtually in te hands of the enemy. Capt. Thompson was ';th me and saw the raft, consequently had every ison to be on his guard at the post of Serapiqui. mediately on my arrival at the Point, I desired ytain J. X. Scott, the agent of Messrs. Morgan ‘Huns, to give me a steamer to return and recon jiire the river, which he positively decliued to Had he not been a party to the whole pro ding, so far as Vanderbilt’s interest was con -rned, we could stiil have saved the river and lake earners. Having no means to enforce my de taDds, aud all persuasive arguments faiiiug, I ame over to this place to await the result. On ae following morning, the 24th of December, 1 -*■ the Costa Ricans take possession of all the '.earners of Messrs. Morgan A Sons, then in the ».-jor, aud make immediate preparation to run •:n up the San Juan. This was done in the ; eseuce of (and without a single doubt in my id, as letters which I have forwarded to you ' J show,) aud by the advice and consent of the ~|thsh authorities then aud now controling the arb >r of Greytown. Nothing further took place until the arrival of steamer Scott, with the California passengers, -tier the direction of one Spencer, Vanderbilt’s L'-nt. Among the passengers were several of ';r officers, who had comedown on business, and ;»d intended returning again to head quarters at i"is by return steamer. Seeing all this, I 3 »s convinced the river must be op-ned from ihis tie. While the steamer Scott was landing her -ssengers, the Texas, from Sew Orleans, hove in -■ iat once commenced making the necessary tparations to seize the Scott iu case we had any ‘ "nits on the Texas. Soon as she dropped her ln: bor, I was on board, and learning there were 7 hundred and twenty men for Nicaragua, I got *“T for landing them, the Scott being still in the when I was called upon on board the Tex as by an officer from the English gunboat Victor, "a W ' ,rme< * that I would not be permitted to s ar ai-;d men on either side of the harbor, ts j • ;1 QiA'ie the attempt the guns of her ■ aje-.r s would be brought to bear upon me. .T tj attention to the fact that a few days ace p tT Majesty’s ships-of-war permitted armed Ricans to land, seize and carry off American perry.

Finding it would “ e days longer to put her in running or , #a “ that several of mj men were attacked i taeasles, caused by exposure—for it rained “vars each day upon us—l concluded to move '.' t t 0 “auu Arenas, where we could have sliel »al the meu could be better eared for. i- l ae January, the boat being readv, I was ! visited by an English officer, who made a -*3d on me for any of Her Majesty’s subjects be under mv command, and who were mtag to remain longer in the service—offering . non and a free passage home to all who bi-«V J? ro Pf r t 0 acce P l it. After protesting w “»t l considered an unlawful and dia- graceful interference on the part of the English Government, I permitted the officer to carry out his orders. Ten of my command accepted his of fers and were conveyed on board of the gun-boat Victor, and were afterward given a free passage home. I have some time since forwarded to you the correspondence which those matters gave rise to between Capt. Erskine, senior officer ot Her-Ma jesty’s ships laying in the harbor of Grey town, ana myself, and to which, in connection with this re port, 1 beg to call vour especial attention. Un the 23d, as 1 was about proceeding up the river to at tack the enemy at Serapiqui, 1 had to submit to a recurrence of the same disgraceful mtei ference as that above Stated. The steamer Granada having for the first time touched on her way to the United States, for the purpose of carrying home deserters, it was' supposed to be a favorable opportunity to offer my men a free passage on her. After the Englishman had used his endeavors to produce discontent and desertion, 1 was permitted to pro ceed. j The enemy by this time had fortified himself ! strongly at Serapiqui, within sheltered walls, i while mv command were exposed to the heavy i rains which prevail here at this season. My force ; consisted of two hundred and eleven, all told, thir ty of that number were in the hospital sick with measles and slight fevers. A large number of the sick never fully recovered, owing to the exposure consequent upon having no tents or other conve nience to keep the command dry. In view of the above facts I made a landing six miles below the mouth of the Serapiqui, on the 24th of January, and occupied some small houses, and then awaited the return of the Texas. In the interval I ran the boat up the river and reconnoitered the enemy’s posi tion and found that they were occupying “ Hepps’ Point,” which is in the forks of the San Juan and Serapiqui; also “Cody’s Hill,” on the right bank o: the San Juan. In the camp at Fort Anderson, Colonel Anderson had all the men employed in manufacturing ammunition for small arms. The artillery corps, under the direction of Gen. R. C. Wheat, who volunteered to assist me, in any ca pacity that 1 might desire his services, was engag ed in preparing grape and canister for artillery. Ou the 3d of March I went down and found the Texas was just coming into the port with one hun dred and eighty men, mostly from Kansas, under command of Col. Titus; and probably there never was a man who arrived in this country under so favorable circumstances as did Col. Titus, as he bore letters to me from nearly all the distinguish ed men of the South, recommending him both as a gentleman and officer, worthy of your and mv highest consideration, and I immediately went up to my encampment and found everything quiet. Before preparing to march on Serapiqui I issued an order, placing I.ieut. Col. Rudier second in command of Col. Titus’ battalion, as I saw that he seemed to have very little command over his men, and knowing Col. Rudier to be an officer highly esteemed by your Excellency as competent to fill any position, and as the Colonel had just re turned on the Texas with Col. Titus, I presumed there could be no objection made to such a course. In answer to the order I had issued, I received a note from Titus, refusing to give Col. Rudier any command in his battalion, stating that his au thority for coming to this country emanated Horn higher authority than mvself, and that he would command until he received orders from you. 1 now regret 1 had not put col. Rudier in command, and if Col. Titus had interfered, to have hung him from the nearest tree. If this had been done I now would be in Rivas with all the steamers iu my possession. I then saw Titus, and informed him that I should submit the matter to you, and at the same time, as you know, desired you to send General Henningsen to relieve me, as I believed he could carry more prestige by coming direc-t from you than it was possible for me to do; and, at the same time, you are well aware that I had no aspirations, and have been content to serve the cause of Jiicaragua in any capacity that my hum ble services were required. I then marched on Cody’s Hill, thinking to find a force of two hun dred of the enemy, but found only one company, who fled as soon as fired upon, in every direction. Our loss was four killed and five or six wounded, the fire from the enemy’s cannon, on the opposite side, having done all the execution, while their loss was fifteen or twenty killed and wounded. I then gave orders to have the men fall back, out of range of the artillery, and commenced cut ting a road for the purpose of placing our artil lery on Cody’s Hill, which is much higher than the fort of Serapiqui, and while this was being done the balauce of the command was preparing shelters, so as to keep at least their ammunition and guns dry, as it rained for forty-eight hours as hard as I ever saw rain fall in Nicaragua for so great a length of time, which retarted my move ments very much, or I should have been able to have crossed and cut the Costa Rican force off from any possibility of their making their retreat from the fort. The road was completed, and two six pounders were placed in position within two hundred yards from the fort before they were aware of our movements. 1 then ordered Col. Titus, with one hundred inen, to support Gen. Wheat., who had command of the artillery, think ing the enemy might atttempt to cross and hold Cody’s Hill, which could have been accomplished much better from their side than ours as thev had the advantage of a steamer, while we would have been compelled to have crossed in light canoes. 1 then crossed Col. Anderson over to the left bank, with orders to cut his way up to within a short distance of the fort, and I would send him small boats to cross the Serapiqui. But, owing to the heavy rains and the thickness of the under growth, he was not able to accomplish it in the given time, and upon the 13th of February, at day light, Gen. Wheat, by my order, opened upon the opposite side, and so w-elf did he and Lieut. Gale direct their fires that the enemy left the fort on two oceasi >ns, and would have retreated if it had not been for the gallant conduct of some of their officers, who rallied and brought them back, while the two companies under Col. Titus, as sharp shooters, were doing great execution with the Minnie rifles. The enemy, seeing that it was im possible to seriously injure the forces of my com mand, stopped firing and commenced to repair the breeches made upon their works, and until Col. Anderson opened his well directed fire from the rear across to Serapiqui, within two hundred yards of their position, they, no doubt, supposed that they would be able to hold out until re-entorced from San Carlos; but iu a few hours it was evident that all they wanted was the darkness of night to form a retreat, and throughout the entire evening the forces under both Anderson and Titus kept up an incessant volley, rifles and musketry, and wheu ever a Costa Rican head was seen above the bara cades, it was sure to be taken off by their sharp shooters, while a very faint fire was kept up on the part of the Costa Ricans, until the darkness of the night put a stop to hostilities on both sides. I then crossed in person to the left bank of the San Juan, and communicated with Col. Anderson, carrying with me two canoes, for the purpose of crossing his command over the Serapiqui, to cut oft any retreats ; but a heavy rain came on, which lasted the balance of the night, and, as the men were worn down with fatigue, I saw it was impos sible from the darkness to do more than to fire an occasional volley, so as to prevent the enemy from removing any of the artillery and stores' We waited impatiently for the dawn of the following day, and commenced to prepare for the landing of our forces to take possession of the fort; and, as soon as possible, landed Col. F’rauk Anderson, with the first battalion, and gave him command of the post. I would, if 1 had not on a previous occasion sent you a report of the battle, mention the officers and men who behaved with much cred it to themselves on thel3th, before Serapiqui. But I will submit to vour Excellency the reports of the | several commanding officers of detachments, on ; that occasion, as being ti ue, and will simply m ! form you that our entire loss, in killed and wouud j ed, did not exceed ten men. Amoug the killed was Lieut. Homan, of Texas, and in him I lost one of the most efficient officers on the San Juan river ; and among the wounded i Lieut. Col. Kudler and Major Ellis, on the 6th, at Cody’s Hill. The loss of the enemy could not be j well ascertained, as they had thrown a great many i in the river, and many died near the fort; but it is supposed their loss was near eighty men killed. Knowing that it was unnecessary to follow the re treating force of the enemv, I at once prepared to run up and cut off any communication from the river; and for this purpose, after securing our am munition and stores, I took on board Colonel Titus and one hundred and eighty men, with two pieces of artillery, and started for Castillo Rapids, and expecting to take the place by surprise, and get all the river steamers in my possession; but when I arrived at Manchuca Rapids, twelve miles below, I found the Morgan had just crossed and was go ing at her greatest speed; and I further learned that the fort was only occupied by twentv-five men, under command of Capt. Couty, an Englishman. I ran up withiu one mile of the fort and landed the men, who went on shore under command of Titus and Gen. 14. C. Wheat. My health and the wound iu my leg, received in Granada, wheu we relieved Geiieral Henningsen, prevented me from being able to command iu person. My orders were to charge the place at once and save the steamers, if possible, which could easily have been done if it had not been for the treachery aud cowardice of Col. Titus. They succeeded in cut ting loose the J. N. Scott, which was set on fire by the enemy, and she floated down out of the range of the enemy’s guns, while the Machuca was so far gone she burned to the water’s edge, al though our men did every thing in their power to save i>er. The fort was now thoroughly invested, and our men had all the buildings in their posses sion, except the main fort, and the enemv had ceased firing. I then, as we had no provisions, ran down to Serapiqui, thinking to carry up Col. Anderson and ail the force, except a small guard, aud at once attack fort San Carlos before the ene , my knew of the fall of Serip.qui. Gen. Wheat, thinking ail was safe, desired to go down after some artillery of larger size than 1 had previously taken up to use againsts fort San Carlos, also came on board. I then sent or ders to Col. Titua that I would return as quick as possible, and to occupy the fort at once and send ! out a large force up the river to seize upon any steamer which might come down with provisions ! I or otherwise from the lake, and I also informed him where she would land, &c. He having one i hundred and sixty men with him on shore, I could I not believe but that he could Lave held his posi tion against ten times his number. I then ran down to Serapiqui, and, before I was half the dis tance, the flues in the boilers of my steamer were leaking so badly I found I never would get back t without repairing them, as she would not stem an ordinary current at the time I arrived at Serapiqui. After leaving orders with Col. Anderson to have everything ready, I hastened to this place, and upon my arrival I was at once surrounded by five gun boats from Her Majesty’s ships, they having cannon in the bows of ail, with small arms and cutlasses and in the most menacing manner called for the officer in command. I caine out of the state-room, unwell as I was, and inquired what they wanted. They informed the that they had orders from their superior offi cer in the harbor to stop the steamer, and prevent any repairs being made upon her until I would suomii to an investigation as to what the desert ers had said of me on the San Juan. I requested their demand to be made in writing, and said I was ready to submit any of my acts to the world. This they refused. I then wished the steamer re paired and atonce demandtheinvestigationinfomr ing them how important it was for me to return to my command; but I was denied this, and for four hours waited to see what would be done iu the matter. In the meantime I could do nothing to ward preparing to return up the river. They then informed me that if I would allow them to call my men together and offer them protection, they would allow me to return with such as did not de sire to go home. Fiudtng they were determined on holding me until the demand was submitted to, I called the men together, about twenty in number, when Capt. De Horsey of the gunboat Victor, who was the officer sent to perform this disgraceful as well as unlawful duty, informed them that it was the wish of his senior officer that every man under my command would leave, and in the event of their doing so, they should all be sent home free of cost. He said it was impossible for me to succeed ; that there was great danger of my being cut off from this port; that you were so cut to pieces that you could not sustain yourself for a month longer in Nicaragua ; and that your position was misrep resented by me and others for effect. Upon this, five men walked out and were taken on board the Victor. I was then informed that I might proceed up the river, which I did as soon as the repairs on the steamer could be made. In attempting to cross the bars of the lower San Juau at-night, which is hardly ever done in low water, 1 had one of the rudders carried away, which detained me another twelve hours, all of which might have been avoided if I had not been stopped by the English authorities, described as above. This detention also caused tne to arrive at Castillo Rapids by a few hours later than I expected, and the conse quence was that Col. Titus not having obeyed my orders in tukiug the fort at once, gave them twen ty-four hours armistice, and actually allowed them to send out a courier to submit the matter to Gen. Mora, at San Carlos —the very thing 1 would not have adowed under any circumstances il I had been there. The Costa Rican force was only twen ty-one men. Col. Titus had all the buildings except the main fort in possession, and not a single shot had been fired from either side until the re-inforeeinents ar rived from Fort San Carlos, only sixty-five strong. Without making any stand, Col. Titus ordered a retreat and allowed the enemy to march into the fort, with a loss on our side of only two men kill ed and four or five wounded. The loss of the en emy was very trilling. When I arrived, Titus and all his uien were on the J. N. Scott in full retreat, without any steam on her, and I have never, in all my life, seen such complete disorganization as ex isted among Titus’ men, all saying he had acted cowardly, while many openly declared that he had sold the fight to Vanderbilt before leaving New Orleans. As to this, I will simply refer you to my letter of that date, in which 1 then expressed to you all I now have to say about the disgraceful af fair. I then feared that it would be the defeat of all my future prospects on the river, as it gave the enemy fresh courage and time to receive large re inforcements* from Costa Rica and fortify Castillo Rapids before I could again attack them. Because of the difficulties of keeping the command longer together, 1 sent Col. Titus to you simply to get rid of him, and at the same time preferred charges against him. I then placed his men on San Carlos Island, (to prevent them from desertion,) under the command of Gen. R. C. Wheat and Major Moon. When 1 came down to this place again to have some repairs made upon the steamer, as she had struck ou the rocks at the Machuca Rapids, (and for this purpose T brought down about thirty-five men, and among the number was the notorious Titus,) we were at once surrounded by four or five boats of armed men from the British fleet, bv order of Capt. Cock burn, of the Cossack, the superior officer then in the harbor, as Capt. Erskine was up the coast at the time repairing the sails of the Orion, the flag ship on this station. Upon my coining alongside the Company’s hulk, the usual landing, Capt. De Horsey came on board and read an order to the men, which I refer you to, and further said, that if there was any one who desired a free passage home and wished to abandon the unlawful expe dition, now was the time to do so; and if any who were in your camp desired to do the same thing, they could have the same protection, if they would come to Greytown. Only two men wished to ac cept their kind offer, and were taken on board the Victor. Upon this, Titus used language considered by DeHorseylas personal, and he ( Dellorsey,) inquired of me if that was the way he was to be treated on board of rny steamer. My reply was that I entered my protest against his interfering, on board, with my men, and that was all I could do ; that I did not approve of anything Titus had said, and if lie was under my command, I would soon stop him. As it was, 1 informed Titus he must go on shore, and turning to Dellorsey, informed him that Titus was alone responsible for what he said. Suppo sing the matter was settled, I quietly proceeded to work in hauling the steamer on the ways, when an officer, with several boats of armed marines, came aud commenced removing, by force, the steamers, and carried them alongside the Victor. 1 was then informed that they would be held until 1 de livered Colonel Titus to them. I answered that Colonel Titus was not an officer of the Nicaraguan army ; that he claimed protection as an American, and that 1 had ordered him on shore, where he was, and it was impossible for me to give him up to them, as I had no control over him whatever. I then demanded the steamers in the same state as when taken from me, and received a positive refusal. As I did not deliver Col. Titus they were determined to take the steamers. They went on shore at Punta Arenas and arrested Titus, and con veyed him on board the Cossack. I then wrote to Capt. Cockburn, senior officer then present, to re turn me the steamers, and informed him that my men were on the river short of provisions, and 1 must have the steamers to carry them supplies as I had plenty at Punta Arenas, or I would be com pelled to abandon the river without the steamers to carry on what I deemed a lawful enterprise. In reply I received from him a positive denial to re turn me the steamers, which you will see from the accompanying documents I send you. I remained for three days, not knowing what the result would be, and in the meantime I entered my protest and sent to you a copy of all the proceedings. On the fourth day, seeing the Saratoga coming into the harbor, they at once returned tne the steamers aud released Titus, another proof of their not being willing to have the United States believe they in tended to interfere in Central American affairs. Supposing the Saratoga would remain in the harbor I received the steamers, which I would not have done if I hud known she was to sail again in a few days. lat once/went on board her, and was treated by her gentlemanly captain (Ttlden) in the best manner possible. This diffused a new spirit ; of patriotism among my men, and It hen had reuew | ed hopes that I would be able to overcome all op ! position, aud at once open the line ; but while the ! steumers were in the hands of the English our ; enemies were busy in doing everything that could | produce disorganization among my men, aud did : actually send news on the San Juau river, that the ! steamers were in the hands of the Eng ish, and ' that the expedition was to be broken up. Tins : caused about sixty men to desert before I could ' assure them that such was not the case. lat once went up the river, and did everything in my pow er to satisfy the men, as they had plenty of provi sions, and at no time had I less than fifteen day’s rations while on the river, up to the date of the abandonment. The rations issued were larger than the regular issue in the United State army; and all who say to the contrary are false and unworthy of notice. In a few days after this occurred the Tennessee came in, and brought us the news that we would have no more men from New York, or provisions, aud that the Texas would not sail until the 11th oi j March, and that we must look to the South for all further aid. Seeing my force was reduced to much less than three hundred men, I determined to wait for her, and also two howitzers which I sent the money to purchase, and in the meantime many of my men left me; for scarcely had the Saratoga left ; the harbor before a recurrence of the same unjust interference was forced upon me. They never at tempted to interfere while the Saratoga was here I to see how the neutrality of the Isthmus was being ; violated. The Texas arrived on the 18th of March, with I one hundred and thirty-five men, mostly from Tex as, aud I have never seen a better company than the one commanded by Capt. Marcelus French, of ; San Antonio, Texas. The whole was under the command of Major Capers. Gen. Hornsby also came on the Texas, and went up with me as a friend to the cause, as I was not authorized to give him the command, and I am confident the General did not desire it, his eyes having failed him so as to hardly warrant him iu taking such a responsible position, when so much depended on our success. I at once went up and gave order* to have the left of Serapiqui evacuated, so as to cam- all my men against Castillo, which I expected would be strongly fortified. I also went up to San Carlos and gave a similar order to Gen. Wheat’s com mand, which was reduced to one hundred and twenty-eight men, making sixty desertions in twenty days from that post alone, as they were not willing to remain longer in the service after Titus’ deteat at Castillo Rapids. I then called the men together and addressed them, informing them that we could carry everything before us if we would only be united and determined; but it was onlv a waste of time to talk to such men as many who composed my force; and it was my painful duty to have my cannon loaded to prevent a large por tion of the command front leaving in a bodv while laying at San Carlos Island. I then moved'up and by- much labor, succeeded in crossing one steamer over Machuca Rapids, when I landed Col. Ander son aud one hundred and eighty men, one mile be low Castillo; I then went backhand brought Lieut. Col. Doubleday and the remainder of the effective force, making in all about two hundred and eighty men, and commenced to reconnoiter the place. 'I lound Kelson’s Hill was occupied by a large force, they having fortified it; and with a ditch eight feet wide, they had made the position a very strong one. Seeing it would be necessary to take it by storm, I tor the first time while on the river, con sented to a council of officers, among whom was your brother, and they decided that it was impos sible to take it without the loss of a great number of my best men; and when taken, San Carlos was even stronger than Castillo, and must also be taken before we could reach you, provided we were fortunate enough to get a lake steamer, and failing in which, we would be as far from attaining our object as when at Punta Arenas. Added to this the Texas was to go to New York. We had no se curity in having' another steamer from New Or leans for some time, and we had only fifteen days’ rations then on the river. In view of all the above facts, seeing so much dissatisfaction among the men, aud fearful that my steamer aud everything on board would be run down to Greytown—as this was attempted on a former occasion, even while I j was on board—l ordered them to retire, thinking 1 to get down in.time to carry all who would go with ■ me, by the way of Aspinwall, to join you at Rivas, j on the Tennessee. I will now give you some idea of the fortitiea- i tionat Castillo. In the first place, there were two water batteries on the river bank—one above and the other below the fort—mounted with cannon, fbe main tort was built up aud stroniy barricaded with adeep ditch cut all around—the only entrance being from the side door—they using a draw bridge, which at night they usually hauled in. Then Nelson’s Hill, and another just opposite, were strongly fortified. Finding the men nearly in a state of open mu tiny, I thought it best, at once, to see who was willing to proceed, byway of Aspinwall to join you. So I called them together, and found that nearly all the officers were willing, but only one hundred and twenty men would remain any longer in the service; and of this number onlv the Texas company was fairly represented. I ‘then placed them in two companies, under Capts. French and Griff". To prevent any further disturbance, 1 caused all the remainder to be disarmed, placing them on board the steamer Rescue, and mv own men on the Scott, together with the sick and wounded. All the ammunition and military stores w-ere also placed on the Scott tbrseurity, and we at once started for Greytown. When bearing the old Fort of Serapiqui, I deemed it prudent to send a small boat to reconnoiter ihe position before pass ing. While at the bank waiting the return of the party, the Scott exploded her boilers, and killed and wounded near sixty of the men and offi cers who were going to join you. I had a Court of Inquiry held, and it was proved that I had tw-o first class engineers running her, but no facts were elicited us to the probable cause of the explosion. I send you the proceedings, together with the list , of the killed aud wounded. This caused me to ! be too late for the Tennessee, for Aspinwall, and I had nothing left but. to send the men, who had volunteered to join, with the sick and wounded, to the United States, as I was informed no more steamers of Mr. Morgan’s line would agaiu touch at San Juan. Having lost, also, ali the medicines, Ac., on the Scott, I was compelled to hasten to this place; and I am indebted to Drs. Cody and Deasman and the doctors of the English fleet for their kind assis tance on my arrival. I then returned for the bal ance of the command, and gave orders to Capt. J. N. Scott to stop the Tennessee, in case she should return before I could get them down. This, he says, was done, but the Tennessee left, though her captain and Capt. Scott knew that I would be in the harbor in less than an hour. Capt. Scott called the English to stop her, but they refused to have anything to do in the matter. On arriving in the harbor, I was surrounded by English gun-boats, informed that I must disarm ali my men, and fur ther, that I would be held responsible for every thing that transpired in Greytown, Punta Arenas, or its vicinity—Capt. Cockburn inducing the men to believe that he would send them all home to the United States. Soon after this, Capt. Erskine, of the Orion, wrote to me : he was very insulting in his tone, and seemed to advise me as to the course I should pursue. 1 answered him, and informed him I would send , the men home on the first ship arriving in the liar- 1 bor, and would provision them until an opportuui- ! ty presented itself for so doing; also, that he would j confer a favor on me by giving no further atten- j tion to my affairs, and remarking that I presumed J the men who had addressed him the communica- j tion he referred to, did it on his often and repeated i declarations that he would send them home, if they would leave the river, ar.d that it remained to be seen what course he would pursue in the matter. The English did everything in their power to have the men believe I never would send them home, advising them to seize on all my arms, military stores, provisions, 4c., amounting to fifteen thou sand dollars worth. When the men came to per form this—one of the most infamous crimes sol diers could perform—l offered to give them all, on my own responsibility, a passage to their homes, i hoping, by this means, to save the arms, Ac., for | the Government. This was what the English fear- | ed, and they were untiring in their exertions until j the arms and military stores, together with six I pieces of artillery, were out of my hands. After the men had placed them in the possession of the Mayor of Greytown, they at once inter changed correspondence with Col Gouty of the Costa Rican force, and came into the harbor with the steamer Morgan with a force of one hundred aud twenty of the enemy, when Captain Erskine took the guns out of the Mayor’s hands aud placed them in J. N. Scott’s possession, as they alleged, to pay the passage of the men home ; but 1 will simply annex the agreement entered into by Ers kine, "Scott and Col. Couty, and from it you will readily infer that their intention is to place them in t he hands of the Costa Ricans to defeat you and that glorious cause of which I am but an humble representative. They then took the men on board of the Cossack and Tartar, and left for Aspinwall. The above are the plain facts and causes of my defeat on the San Juan River. If it. were possi- j ble, I would at once proceed to Rivas and lay the whole matter before you in person ; but as it is, 1 will go to California and bring you down a strong force, and ever be found battling for our rights and liberties in Nicaragua. Hoping you may re ceive this and the annexed letter and accompany ing documents in a short time, I am in haste, your obedient servant, (Signed) S. A. Lockridge, Colonel commanding on San Juan River.

The result shows plainly that the amount of cotton on sale is comparatively small, and with a demand like Saturday, but some ten to twelve days would be required to take the whole off’ the market, as but little addition can he expected from the future receipts, which have now dwindled down to a mere trifle. 44 In addition to the above, the stock of cotton in New Orleans was reduced 13,000 bales up to the 17th of June, and the re ceipts continue very light. “ The greater portion of the stock now on hand Is of poor quality.
