buccaneering expedition of Governor Will
lam Walker, Esq, and Col. Kinney
His Excellency William Walker, by the
grace of gun powder ex-President of Lower
California, and late Liberator (for couple
of hours) of Central America, does not -four
ish, we are happy to say. in his predatory
incursions. A late account represents Mr..
Walker to be very much in the position of
Bill Sykes, in the last chapter of Oliver Twist.
The invasion of Nicaragua turns out badly.
The whole thing appears to have been upon
"a minute and slightly burglarious scale. Mr..
William lands at Realejo, with fifty-six men,
thus being just sixteen men stronger than the
Captain of the Forty Thieves With this
terrible cohort he makes dead rush at Chi
nandega, where he is joined by one hundred
and fifty Central American patriots, under
the command of two Governors (Mendez and
Pintu) and one President (Castillon.) The
invading host then marches upon Rivas,
where the Central American patriots vary
the fascinating course of events, by. going
over to the other side. The original fifty-six,
thus left to fight out the battle, blaze away
antly-occupy farm house and retreat
from it-are finally, after efforts worthy of
better cause, fairly whipped, and Bill, sur
named Walker, does injustice to his name by
running, solitary and alone, TO San Juan.
Meanwhile, the unhappy Kinney drives high
and dry upon Turks Island, and all the salt
| (Which is known to be very plentiful in those
regions) will hardly save him. Thus ends
the grand Nicaraguan piracy for eighteen
hundred and fifty five

ticle in the Little Falls Journal, that MIR.
Beardslee is steadily pursuing his enterprise
Of making paper from the tibors OF linden
and other woody substances. To show his
own faith in the ultimate success of his in
vention-a matter that seems to have been
pretty we'll demonstrated heretofore-he is
now engaged in building an extensive paper
mill at Little Falls, which will be one OF
| the most massive buildings in that village
The great boulders obtained everywhere in
/ that vicinity. some of them weighing eight
and ten tons, are used to construct the base
ment walls on the river side. The main bull
ding is to be 81 by 100 feet, with wing on
the eastern side fifty feet by ninety. Fifteen
or twenty engines for the manufa cture of the
pulp are to be made, and are now in process
| of construction at the Little Falls. When
they are in full operation, fifty tons of pulp
per week will be made. 1t is expected that
the new mandatory will 90 into full opera
! ton, about the first of October-a day which
printers will look forward to with high ex-
pectation. r. ...
