has been completely abandoned, and this in most
cases without the least interference Of the Temper

great harbor Of iniquites and the hobed Of outlaws

From Our Own Core sponient.
GRANADA, Tuesday, May ], 1855.
The steamer Central America, commanded by
Capt. Slocum, arrived here from Virgin Bay on
the 2sth ult., with merchandise and some twenty
FIVE passengers. Capt. Scott, the agent of the
Transit Company at San Juan del Norte, and
Judge Cushing agent at Virgin Bay, were among
the passengers. This is the first time in about
a year that any of the Company's steamers have
visited our city, and | have not seen so many
strangers congregated in Granada for very
long time. The sight was most cheerful and
gratifying.
Quite number of persons have recently
passed through our city who have been engaged in
exploring the mountains and rivers of Chcntales.
They all report most favorably in regard to the
gold mines and washings which exist in that re-
gion. A very intelligent Englishman, an expert
enced miner, whom l met few days ago, in
formed me that he himself and two companions
had made some important discoveries of wash
ings in several of the rivers which flow from
the high mountains of Chontales toward the Al
lantic or into Lake Nicaragua. OF these rivers
i remember the names of three-the River
Cacas, the River Bola, and the celebrated Rio
Mica From the best information can get am
satisfied that all these rivers and mountains con-
tain mineral wealth which will yet astonish the
world. The mines which have been kept in op-
Grafton during the revolution are producing
more than paying business and those engaged
in working them have done and are doing ex-
ceedingly well. | saw sample of the gold dust
taken from the rivers which resembled closely
California gold, and which judged to be 81 or

three dollars TO two ounces per day TO those

the Government have not yet issued it, though
from the excellent management of Col. Wheeler,
who is constantly urging such decree
expect it will be published in day or two
Col. Wheeler has attained high position here
with the Government and people, and is uni
versaly liked by the foreigners. His lady, also,
is held in high estimation BY all who have made
her acquaintance.
The war-news | cannot give further than 70
state that Gen. Coral has moved forward his
troops from Managua toward Leon, to a small
village called Nacerote, situated on the main
road and within about twelve leagues of Leon
The "facciosos' had force Of 400 men stationed
AT this village but a. soon a. the news of the
approach of the Government troops reached Col.
Zalzar, who was in command of the factionsts,
he ordered his men to fall back toward Leon to
the village of Pueblo Nueyo, within eight leagues
of that city. Gen. Coral has also sent force
BY circuitous route to take possession of Chi
nendega, tine large town twelve leagues be-
yond Leon and near the Pacific coast These
movements leave Leon in a bad position, and
cut of the principal way Of communication. The
probability is that | shall be able to import
some most interesting war-news in ny next.
Mr. John Priest, who received his appoint
ment some time since as Consul at san Juan del
Sur. aud who has been several times here for
the purpose OF receiving his exequatur from the
Government, has at length | am told, been
recognized. Mr.. Priest is one of the Oldest
American residents in Nicaragua, and not only
extensively known but universally esteemed by
both natives and foreigners. He is plain mat
ter-of.fact man and every way worthy Of the
Office be has received.

schools turn out accomplished machines, whose minds
are, ike Chinese feet, cramped cut Of all symmetry

finished reveal neither the Literature the people,
and are equally unservoeable for reading and FOR

list of English schoolgirl Accomplishments; and few
