Land and the United States Enumerate all the natural
capacities that make country OF yalueas mines crops

Oar countryman Squer in his interesting volumes gives
graphic but doubtless true description OF this country,
and Il bears out this statement
But a country which God has SO richly blessed
makes himself II is quite enougho write that
Nicaragua has shared in full OF the distractions OF the
South American republics and everybody knows that

flow Of blood which exces horror TO read about Until

independent State, with Of 10000 square miles
and population of 100000 of which $4,000 are whites

The intelligent Of this population know this. Mr.
Squier ascrbes the distractions ofhe country much

liberal men, who struggling against the popular g-

war closed by the capture Of Granada
On the ed Of October treaty concluded between

Rvas became provisional president of the republic of
Sicaragua for fourteen months general oblivion was
declared General Walker recognised commander

four hours both armies to enter the city and both

President to proceed to the church and return
thanks the God Of armies for the termination Of the
war; This treaty also recognised organic constitution
Ia brief established and thus the head
of liihustering appears to have been recog
missed as the dererer Of the republic This is the govern
reent which now is in force II has been recognised
though without orders from home--by consul, Col
Wheeler and it has minister to this country.
Joseph X Male in long letter printed in the New
York Times thus enthusiastically describes the present
state of Nicaragua and its prospects:
Nicaragua after civil of thirty-two years is at
LENGTH peace. Ia inhabitants, who from their cradle
had taught expect cruel death at the hands OF
the opposing factions when opportunity offered educated
amid he horrors of cruel and discriminating revelation
and tored by their sres show mercy to the weare

though he brother too often happened--haye, 10

huan efforts of few brave men, been Taught that war
and rapine must and that Instead OF marching
again TO battle they start tue march OF cyiliza

who since their strength admitted Of their carrying

Eden OF the world nevertheless under the skfn super
vision Of American tact aud experience their services will
be valuable the different departments Of agriculture and
nniug and though may require years 70 bring theni
10 that sea necessary TO their happiness and proc
perty as people there il not the slightest doubt that the
change ably and suddenly commenced will be lasting
and effective Since the formation OF the government
and the signing Of the treaty by the behgerent parties
every thing has gone smoothly as marriage-hel The
acHas that for years had been left to ruin and decay
are again Inhabited. Husbands and fathers, and
brothers have returned their families and the stores
that for years had been slowed from the hands OIL
marauders 10 moulder and rot amid the crumhng ruins
OF bombarde cities, brought forth and exposed for
sale in the different market places Life Is again held vail
liable and inngements of the laws OF the State punished
"A they deserve Peace regns throughout the land the
Larricades and Publications torn down the guns
spiked and now, instead OF yoking to drag the
messengers Of distraction and death to the
battle ground their carriages used for the conveyance
of produce and merchandise through the country The
ministry has been selected with the greatest care and With
view to the satisfaction Of ALL Its head President Rvas
has always been looked upon by both parties well
qualified discharge The duties OF that office TO their sat
iaiactiou and his appointment according TO treaty has
resulted in establishing the confidence SO anxously
wished for by the originators OF the happy change.
Among the most important movements OF the government
Is formation % rate OF tariff aud bonded warehouse
from the department of Col French, as minister OF
Hacienda; the 90 per cent ad valorem all
goods entered with the exception Of scientific and farming
implements agricultural stock seeds, &c They have also
created colonization Office The decree oers to each
single settler hundred and hy of land and to
married settlers three hundred and fifty with every facility
TO their permanent settlement Does this speak
luminous az the intention OF the present Of
Nicaragua 10 raise Central America 70 proud position

il MA be well that the governments Of Honduras
and San Salvador have made the government
OF Nicaragua desiring that the three States be joined

the lead and giving General Walker, commander-n-
chief Of the union the moneys aud mutations OF the differ
