several Americans who had been for long time

angular that medical gentlemen should have such
taste for warlike pursuits. Either their shall
low brains are unsuited to the spatula and the

which their "liges are cast " will not appreciate
their wonderful talents in their profession. lnere

Here in this city, everything remains quiet and
the inhabitants busiiy engaged IN repairing the
roofs of their houses which had been broken by
the cannon-bals of TIE enemy. The Government,
Also, have some $50 prisoners at work cleaning up
the streets and bringing IN from Jaltera' LUMBER,

their barbados and gun. batteries.
Walking through Jaliera, the morning after it
had been abandoned by its destroy ers, was Pc

nation manifested by the multitude who had co ne
to look at the wrecks Of their former homes.
There was no loud talking, no laughing, scarcely
sound above the Rubbing noise OF the many loot
steps camberiDg over the remnant Of old walls,
barbados &c, as the crowd moved on 10 search
of their ruined residences. Neither was there
apy loud lamentations, but all seemed to have
come with the same object, and with strict de-
termination to bear in silence their misfortunes.

The Church of Jaltera presented a re-
voting spectacle. 1t had been used as a bar
racks for the soldiers, for hOrse-stable and for
many other purposes not at all in keeping with the
object for which such edifces are intended, and
looked more like filthy abandoned prison, than
anything else to which can compare it, This
Church is situated on the main street which leads
into the Masaya road, within about quarter OF a
mile of the outline Of the city, and an an elevation

its obstruction, but Only at last succeeded IN
throwing down portion of it. Still this Church
and its tower may be considered as very nearly
ruined; for the roof has been pierced through and
through with cannon balls, one wing entirely de-
molshed, and the whole ediice so shattered that
the tower must be taken down even with the
walls of tho building, and constructed anew
From straight line drawn north and south, the
entire breadth of the city along the street in front
Of the MERGED, all to the west-full onethird Of
the whole-may be considered only one complete
mass of ruins.
