THE POSITION OF col. WALKER.
FROM TAs Alta California.


We have been permitted to publish the following
extract Of letter from Col. William Walker TO
friend in this city: Saw JUAN, Oct. 4, 1855.
Since the departure Of the Sierra Nevada we have
had title 10 do except TO remain idly In quarters.
Some days since ] aseertained thst the enemy would
probably attack me after the Sern Nevada len with
her passengers; and also learned nom deserters
and others that the plan was to btlng their ar
tilery by the lake to Virgin Bay, whlle the IN
coruipgly, on the night of the 25th nit. I
mar bed rom this place and took position on the top
Of mountain rome four miles distant, thinking the
enemy might be along by daylight. Bu at daylight
tLeie vas q heavy rain and no enemy. so marched
on q mile or two as,ertsined that the enemy had not
vet landed their forces at Virgin, ard Therefore pro-
c. edea on to the bsy Tle morning afer arrived,
the schooner appe,red of the port, and auchoreda
short distapce from the town. AZ their 81 ynas were
lot az swersd, they found something was wrong, and
soon sailed for San Jorsehe port of Rivas. Ii ap-
pesrs that the land force, some four hua1ed stron9
also MARCHED TO within O short distance OF Virgin,
heard OF our arrival there, and countermarched for
Rivap. i
By the arrival of the force on the Cortes, l an
place in position for offensive operations 1 am
COZ stant receiving recruits from the natives AM my
force IL pow about 400 effective men-l00 Americas
ano 800 natives The ma i've force Is well oilic red
hss confidence in the i'll and courage OF the Amer.
cai sand will therefore fight well. My natives are
nfri.ey superior 10 thoss on the other aide, be-
copse they Se all volunteers, whereas the enemy
possess ell sors, old men ard boys. l have desert.
ers from them every day, but not soldier has yet
left and gore to them. The fact is, the word
Den ocrscy" is tower Of str myth even with this
people. Beeide ikps, I have pursued policy which
IL entirely new hers--encouraeiDg the natives who
to work and make money, 10 attend to their own
affairs ana not forcing any to take up arms.
Thus l am gaining the confidence of the working
people-the common people, as they call them hero
ano they avery lar, majority OF the nson. With
tin ard patience hope 70 do much, po only FOE ths
national progress of Nicaragua, but aso for the moral
and intellectual advancement of It's present inhsblt-
ants.
