LEGIsLATuRE.-The Albany Knickerbocker gives
the following account of Dobbs in the Legislature,
which we reprint as being somewhat applicable
to members of a legislative body not thousand
miles distant. The Knickerbocker says:
Owing to new phase in politics, Dobbs was
elected to the Legislature Though gratifed, he
was also little intimidated by the honor and but
for the thought that he was not necessarily oblieed
to speak, would have declined serving.
AS it was, he accepted.
All things went on smoothly for time. Mr..
Dobbs could vote on other peoples motions though.
he couldn't make any himself.
One unlucky day, however, the proceedings being.
rather dull, and Mr. Dobbs rather thirsty, he con-
cuded to go over to Congress Hail. and get glass,
of lemonade
As he rose to leave the hail. he caught the
Speakers eye. The Speaker supposed he intended
to address the house, and accordingly announced in
a loud voice:
mir. Dobbs."
Dobbs started as if he had been shot,
The assembled wisdom of the State had their
eyes fixed upon him. He pulled out his pocket.
feeling it necessary to say something, blundered
out
Second the notion
There is no motion before the House," said the
Speaker.
"Then I--I-.'
The silence was breathless.
"T--I--"
Dobbs couldn't think of anything to say. But
bright idea came to him, and he finished the sem
tence--
IL move we adjourn"
The motion didn't 60, but Dobbs did, and moth
ng more was seen of him for that day.

NICARAGUA,

Walker, the fllibuster, seems TO be on the high
road to renown az the founder Of new State. His
control Of Nicaragua is represented by the latest
intelligence, given in our columns this morning, as
more solid and secure than ever. Corral, the last
man who might have headed movement against
his authority, has been convicted of reasonable
correspondence with some relics Of the opposite
party al d shot By every arrival from California,
reenforcements swell the army Of the cbiefssin,
and if lie continues to manage his affairs with the
same discretion which be has hitherto exhibited, no
power can expel him from his position.
The moment chosen by Walker for the invasion
of Nicaragua was the best conceivable. The
country was exhausted by prolonged civil war
Everybod desired peace, and any commander who
could secure it would have been welcomed by
what remained Of the people. The leaders OF the
contest ON both sides were dead, removed either
by battle or by pestience and their followers had
also been decimated by the same causes. In fact
there was no longer even the semblance off, native
army to conquer when Walker moved upon the
capital. The plaza of that town. where for months
Clamorro had held Casiellon at bay. had not now
s defender. and the only military man of any
prominence remaining to the country
made haste to submit and make treaty with
the invader, TO breik 1t, however very soon,
ard to pay the penalty with his life. A more facile
coDQuest is not recorded in history. The acqui
sition Of Texas by the Americans was nothing to it
we must admit that since his triumph the con
queror has exhibited great degree Of political
ssgacity. The Presidency was in his grasp, but he
preferred that Don Pstricie Riyas, prominent
native NicMaeusn, should be put into thst Office
at least for the present By this means Walker
saved the Government from that revolutionary AID
alien air, which in his own hands il would have
worn The Nicarsguans would certainly be very
upgrateful to refuse their allegiance to an Ad
ministrston with ole of their own number at IL,
head Besides had he become President. foreign
governments would have been slow to form rels.
tons with the new regime; bat there could be no
reason why they should net rect gnize Ri'as. who

cent character ts the world goes The shre Sdness
Of this plan is justified by the result. The Minis
Ter Of the United States has already exchanged
congratulations with the new chief magistrate.
and the others are likely TO follow. When the
revolution is thoroughly legitima;ed by the rscog
milton of sever al powers, Walker will be ready 20
make himself nominally dictator, as be already Is
in reality, and to carry his great project another
step toward its consummatcu.
That project Is briefly TO I'll the country with
