ties are fere of spontaneous growth, when cared
for are mot Of twenty but an hundred fold" Hum
boldt, the great Prussian high priest of nature,
once said Of Venezuela:-"He who stcops has
enough whereWith to sustain lie, and he who
labors becomes rich" Infinitely more so is it so in
Nicaragua, while the inducements in the latter are
immt asnrably greater. Such, then, ID the scenery
on this Central American stage.
The play ers are fast assuming their parts. Eng
land has chosen hers already. She would fain be
player ard prompter too. What part are we to s.
sumo in this great drama CT he commercial world
say ASSUME, for surely the progressive spirit Of
country, age, will not await until one Is assigned
u.s. nor is the word conservative known in the voca
bulary of our excellent President. Ii Nicaragua is
the gateway Of the nations, and viii not open to
Of republic anism-why, let US break down the gate
way! II she will allow herself to be Englaad's
cupe, and 10 be trsmmelled in the willy web Of Br
tish diplomacy Until, bound hand and foot, she fails
selfstyled British lion--if Britain, never go,ged,
must, like the daughters Of the horseleech, cry
ever and again, and still cry give give !"
II, in . word, Nicarsgua mus: be sa-
cdsed ,Or the w0 sha cement 1es u.s. ~; n
ty's-let us be the executioner-the high
priest 1t the altar of her immolation. And this
brings me to her present position. Nicaragua, more
sns ever s since her AtoIy began torn y r',ou
the minister from her TO the United States and to
England is the chief leader Of ste one party styled
the Democratic" and Gen. FrutA Chamm0rr0 OF
the other. The one, an exei chief Of revolutionary
sentiments succeeded in raising around him party
equally amenabe to tho laws with himself, and
thereby desperate, and taking advantage Of Q mo
meptafy dissatisfaction against the legally elected
President, nlsed the standard Of revolution. The
other il the President Of the State, well nigh sue.
cxssfuly rebelled against, but not yet, nor likely
10 be, conquered. While here I have just learn.
ed ttat although Castllon may conquer, he
is the last man in thelStae who is likely to be the
President. From my own observation, l am sure
that he IL exceedingly unpopular with the army,
from the fact that he is not one OF them. Cham
moro, feel morally certain win ultimately succeed.
Many Americaps have taken sides with the more
popular side Of CastilloD. Some have been killed.
aAc those who survive will have ss their reward but
the remembrance Of the historically celebrated in
gratitude OF fbe Hispsno American.
From the other States we have but this:--Guate-
maia has sent two thousand men to aid Chsmmorro.
Passing Salvador they were stopped, and Csrrera,
the President Of GuatcmaIa, returned orders that
they should pass, whether the State Of San Salvador
erdeavofed 70 prevent them or not. Costa Rcs
has d. clarsd almost openly in favor OF the
legitimate president. Some cay that Chammotro
has offered TO cede part Of the territory OF Nicars
qua in case Of bis succeeding by her aid, to Costa
ilcs. This do not believe l hare no question:
however, that tie wsr viii long continue bes xetn
tie rival parties. Tbee Is neither easrgy~ nor
meens coon to bring IL 70 speedy oonclosioa.
