A sad Piot,,re.

The British papers contain letter from
a private in The army 10 his mother in En-.
gland, in relation 10 The royages OF The chol-
era in the army Of The East, |, is sad
picture Of the miseries and wretchedness
that are inseparable from state Of war:

know that they are buried very differently
from The way they are buried in England
They are sown up in blanket and pm. into
a hole; and since we left Aladyn, the natives
have dug them out on purpose 10 get the

Ilievs is the radical difficulty True, il
would seem 10 result from ,he utter ignor.
ance Of the masses that no stable can be
given to their government unless the popu-
lar element be excluded; bu, their brutal ig-
norance itself is The result of causes 10 which
we haye alluded. The constant tendency is
toward savage siaIe. Indeed it almost
seems as If the Anglo-Saxon race was
moulded and endured with powers 10 sub
due or ciyilize whatever race they come in
contact with, and that wi,hou. their influence
or characteristics the world to-day would be
making bu, lille progress. Like mosrigno.

CoNPlRMAToRY OF THE "GREYTowN SPEC.

ed by The Courer's Washington correspond.
enL who. after reviewing the bombardmen,
Of Greyiown, &C., says;
None Of these evenls effect the validity oI
the grants Of the Southern pnrtioa of the
Mosquito territory, now in the hands OF an
American company. The princpsl Of those
grants covers san Juan. The company will
soon be fully organized, and will take eff.
cient measures lor The protection and i'm
proSemem of its property. Senator Coop
er, Of Pennsy lvania, is leading member
of the direction. He will probably proceed
TO San Juan in the steamer Of the 20lh Sep.

this company will recognize the de .factO
authority of the Mosquito chief. leaving The
question of ultimate jurisdiction 10 be sealed

and Mining Company, that his government

The concurrence of tho Mosquito King, owe,
whom their proleclorale extends. lie has
also made lhe same declaration 10 The Pres.

no room for doubt upon This. Influenced
by just and honorable fidelity 10 lis en-
lgagemeni, the British Government, has re.
fused TO surrender the Mosquito Indians and
their territory 10 The mercies Of Nicaragua

in favor Of any State, corporation, or indi.
viduals not obnoxious TO the present actual
possessors 90 the country.
Whatever may be the course Of Grea
Britain in regard to affairs in Central Ameri.
ca, however liberal and concilialory hel
course may appear, and we have no desire
TO question either The liberalily or fairness o
that government. We think there can be
but one opinion among right thinking men,
everywhere, as to the Improperly Of per
soDs holding high official stations in oul
government forming themselves into com
panies for private speculative purposes, fol
selfish personal aggrandizemenI, with the
affairs Of foreign governments. Here We
have United States Senator, a member ol
the Executive Government--lhe highes, law
office in the country; the Clerk Of the U. s
House Of Representatives; and the private
and confidential Secretary Of The Presiden
or the Uni,ed States, all engaged in vast
scheme OF speculation. in the success o.
which is involved perhaps the great question
of foreign war. II is all wrong. and should
