A correspondent of the New York Herald, writ-
ing from Truxillo, gives some account of Walker's
proceedings. After he abandoned the fort by order
of the British captain he was overtaken by a native
detachment of volunteers, and a fight ensued about
10 miles from the town, which resulted in the loss

of a fe-s men on both sides. Three of Walker's
men who were afterwards found wounded were

kiPied by the natives. They would have murdered
some of the sick had not the captain of the Icarus
threatened to hang them at the yard-arm if they
did so. The excitement, however, continuing, he
took them on board his vessel. A reward of 2,000

dollars was offered for Walker's head. The latest

intelligence of the fate of Walker is contained in the

following extract from the New York Courier and
Inquirer :

" The race of the pirate Walker is probably
ended. Among the telegraphic despatches which
we publish this morning is one announcing
the important news that the British war steamer
Icarus, with a transport of troops under
the command of Alvarez, had proceed to Rio Negro,
where Walker and his band had encamped ; that
the boats of the Icarus had passed up the river,
captured Walker and 70 of his men, all of whom
had been taken back to Truxillo, and given up to
the authorities of Honduras. Many of the men
had been sick, and they were permitted to return
to the United States on condition of never again
engaging in an expedition against Central Ame-
rica. As for Walker and one of his colonels, named
Kudler, they were to be shot. This intelligence
was brought to Havannah by a Spanish war
steamer, and from Havannah to New Orleans by
the Star of the West. It is doubtless correct, and
probably before this Walker and his Colonel have
been shot. If they have, their fate is richly de-
served—a fate that Walker should have met long
ago, and would have met if our Government had
done its duty, and not left to a foreign Power to inter-
fere for the punishment of a pirate whom our own
Government has permitted to walk unarmed through
ont the country, and go out from it a second time,
as the scourge of a neighbouring and friendly.
nation. Justice has come at last ; but it is a dis-
grace to the United States that its Government had
no hand in dealing the blow."

The Gulf of Mexico had been visited by a severe
hurricane on the loth, involving a great loss of pro-
perty. Nearly every house in Belize was carried
away, and several lives were lost. Milnebnrg, the
terminus of the Ponchartrain Railroad, was sub-
merged, and the wharfs damaged. It was reported
hat all the wharfs and bath-houses on the Lake

shore between New Orleans and Mobile had been
swept away. The town of Biloxi, Mississippi, was
in ruins. At Mobile the storm was severely felt.
All the wharfs in the lower part of the city were
submerged during the gale. Pomeroy and Mar-
shall's lime warehouse ,was burnt, and several
steamboats blown ashore. The loss by the fire and
storm was 500,000 dole.
On the 14th a passenger train from Racine to
_Freeport was run into by a freight train, and five

The sub-committee appointed by the Douglas
State Committee to endeavour to negotiate a union
with the Breckinridge Democracy met on the 15th
at the St. Nicholas Hotel and resolved to reject the
terms of the " National Volunteers." The latter
were made acquainted, verbally, with the ultima-
tum of the Douglas men—that the Breckinridge
party should have six of the electors and four more
in a certain uncertain contingency ; that Breckin-
ridge candidates should be substituted for lieute-
nant-governor and canal commissioner, but that all
the men substituted should be new men. To this
the Volunteers would not accede, and there the ne-
gotiations ended. In view of this failure to fuse,
the Breckinridge State Committee issued a mani-
festo, in which they conceded the election of Lin-
coln and threw the responsibility upon the Douglas
Democracy,
