Observation-Disclosures Triumphant Attack
Upon Returning Californians.

The last news from Central America lWr-o,1Ilt
seem to indicate that Walker, the fllibuster
has got almost full possession of Nicaragua
One or two skirmishes with the weak and
iA-ordered troops of that imbecile State. has
| resulted favorable to Walkers forces: and
the fact is heralded in big letters by the
fillibustering journals of our country that the
patriots" have triumphed h-@e4 --t
During the recent troubles which ended
in this triumph" the Transit Company IS
steamer San Carlos was passing through
Virgin Bay, crowded with passengers re-
turning from California 1t is we'll known
fact that the Transit Company is fllibus-
tering " institution" and has been from its
creation. One of the forts of the Govern
ment fired on the steamer, the Nicaraguans
having good reason to suppose that those
aboard were reinfofcements for Walker. 1t
is to be regretted that innocent persons suf-
fered with the guilty, if there were any
guilty on board. An innocent woman and
her child--a Mrs. White Of California--were
killed by the first shot discharged at the
steamer. FIVE of the male passengers were
also killed and six wounded. o. II fs.jssf
The way we understood the New York
Herald's account Of the affair, the passengers
who were not injured, and TIE Transit Com
pany's steamer, proceeded at once to "giye
aid and comfort " to Walker and his band of
land pirates, and helped them to overcome
by their presence the remainder of the Nj
caraguan army, although there was no battle
after the steamer was fired into.
The poor Nicaraguans, however, have I'M
fortunately made out a strong Cast Bell
against themselves by firing into the San
Carlos when she had the American flag
hoisted. Col. Wheeler, our Minister was
about; and will no doubt rave more Justify
than he did when his negro woman Jane
left him at Philadelphia, per advice OF Pass
more Williamson. The Cyene and Captain
Hollims will have more work to do down in
that quarter. The President will again have
chance of encountering a foe entirely wor-
thy of his steel. ee.
We would not make light remarks over
the death of oui, unfortunate countrymen
who were killed on board the San Carlos.
Perhaps fillibustering thought never en-
tered the breast of one of the slain or
wounded But they were evidently found,
like poor Tray, in bad company, and the sad
consequences of such an act Of indiscrction
have followed.

Ito do so was not respected by the Spanish

The subject has been officially brought to the

him on the spot. for some alleged crime; but
he was preserved from their vengeance and

was brought from Philadelphia prison into
the U. S. District Court and made affidavit,
that in his answer to the writ of habeas cor
p,,s he did not intend any contempt of court,
or to evade any order of Court. Some other
questions were asked and answered, when
Judge Kane ordered his release. All this,
says the Galena Advertiser, might have been
done four months ago as well as now, had it
suited the disposition IF tyranhical Judge.
Having the power to deprive an innocent man
of his liberty, he did it, and has thus made
himself famous, at least. We trust that the
difficulty he has had in getting rid of the spot
upon his hand, if indeed it can ever be re-
moved, will not be an indueement to others
to follow his example.
