cured to my country may be perpetuated to re-
m otest posteriy, and extend to the whole faIni-
ly of man.

The Way Col. Walker Ruic..

We qnote the following from the ALIAS news
| from Nicaragua:-
| We have various accounts from an eye wit
| ness of the determination of Walker to main
/ tain law and order in San Juan. Among other
| circumstances is mentioned the execution OF a
| Nicaraguan colonel serving in Walkers ranks,
which took place on the 9th inst The parlcn-
lars of this affair are as follows: The cuprlt
with four native soldiers, had gone out TO the
Half way Honse, kept by MIR. Goss, the tran
sit road. and demanded bottle of liquor. This
was refused by the proprietor. when they en-
tered the bar-room, drove the inmates from the
premises, and. taking possession OF the house,
destroyed what liquor they could not drink.
and after various uutrages and excesses re-
tnrned drunk TO San Juan. The affair came In
the notice of COL Walker, who had the Colonel
arrested. He was tried, found guilty and con-
demned 10 be shot, which sentence was carried
into execution the following day, on the ocean
beach, near the town, the executioners being a
file of Americans detailed for the service. This
summary proceeding is said TO have had the ef-
feet of putting the natives on their good behavi-
or, securing the property of all residents from
violation.
AT another time one of Walkers men forciby
arrested bottle of gin from the hands of ma
tive, when the offender was arrested and bare
ly escaped The severest punishment. In fact,
natives and foreigners were perfectly aware OF
the punishment awaiting any iniraciion OF the
rules, and The utmost confidence was placed IN
the justice of Col. Walkers military administra-
ton.
Deseriers from the enemy's ranks were con-
stantly coming in from the country, glad 10 avail
themselves OF the ST elter and comfortable quar-
ters guaranteed in Walkers service. Where
Walkers supplies come from not known;
but that some unseen az ency is behind him with
capital and resources, seems beyond doubt.

IsTERsAL SurFERINGs OF RussIA-There are
three articles relating to Russia and the Russian
war, in Blackwood tor August. One Of them is
particularly interesting. 1t gives description
ut what it calls the Internal Sufferings of Rus.
sia during the war, by an Eye-Witness." The
author is said to have returned during the course
OF the present summer from Russia, where he
had passed SO many years that he had learned
10 write bad English. 1t represents the owners
OF real estate in Russia reduced to poverty,
The laboring classes starving, the whole coun-
try exhausted, the government uneasy and
all classes desiring peace.
