Correspondence Of The N. 7. Tribune
SAN JUAN DE- NICARAGUA, Sept. 90, 1854.
With any other race of people, the miserable, de-
structiye war now pending in this country would be
brought TO termination within twenty-four hours.
The city of Granada is about one-half in ruins.
General Cbamorro, with about one thousand troops,
occupies the plaza, which he has fortified, and the
eastern portion Of the city down to the Lake; while
ihe revolutionists numbering about twelve hundred,
Including one hundred cavalry, under the command
of General Jerez who was disabled in the action Of
the 10th July, blockade him from the Jaltera, or
nights TO the westward, and such has been their re-
spective positions since the goth May. General Cas-
fellon remains at Leon while Chamoro commands
bis own troops in person. frequently salyng out at
the head of company capturing cargoes and
prisoners and returning to his fortress within the
plaza.
! On the 18th ult. Col. Francisco Chamorro brother
10 the President, led company OF 200 ana male
dash straight through Jerezs main body out to Nan
teyme recruited los men, and returned with pro-
visions. ammunition and specie, losing only about
30 of his men. The fighting continues day and night
from the barricades and church es and many prisoners
are taken both sides the priests confess them ana
they are shot at once. None dare venture into the
streets without balls becoming too familiar to be
comfortable. You can ride for mules through the
openings made from house TO house.
The tower of the church Of the Mercedes, the high
eat in Central America is almost destroyed. Property
of all descriptions is confscated and taxes imposed
by both leaders. Business is totally suspended, and
thousands of hides and deer skins are daily spelling,
Tor they cannot be taken care OF, nor can they be
shipped the lake being held by Castellons cruisers
Nearly all Of the merchants are fiat broke helpless
and whichever party may ultimately be successful,
two years Of peace will not restore the foreign bus
ness Of the country to even comparative safety.
Every department Of the State is In the hands OF
Uasellon except Granada and so has been tor the
past four months. Counter revolutions are daiiy apr
prebonded. An American named Doss has been OF
Immense service to Cbamorro. He has displayed the
most reckless courage, occupying the tower OF tue
Church of Mercedes and picking off with his unerring
rife any Castellon who ventured to expose himself
within range He shot early IN August, anu,
when his wounds were pronounced mortal the clergy
rama 10 confess him. but he dismissed them with an
emphatic malediction, and upon his DEATH beng
hereto they refused TO his body the rite OF Christian
burial from the church, but Chamorro, being greatly
removed to the church and the priests to recite
twenty Eve masses, under penalty of death If they
refused facilitate the passage OF the deceased sol
ders soul to Heaven. He was buried with the high
eat military honors ever awarded IN this country.
There are eight or ten American. with the revolu-
aionists On the 18th of July an unknd six FOUNDER
decapitated DIR. Peck, an American negro physician
from Pittsburgh. in the service of Casteon.
Cbamorro has greatly distinguished himself by his
rersonal bravery unhinching determination and per-
severance in sustaining himself against such odds;
and even il his cause were bad, ne merits admira-
