The Injunction Case.

Arrangements have been effected, by
giving bond, etc. for carrying the ST. Louis
Injunction case up TO the Supreme Court.
The Inteliqencer seems TO think the pro-
ceedings oil correct, the Republican holds
contrary opinion, and in the conclusion of
an article on The subject says
"What else followed! When an appeal
was applied for-when it was hoped that
the decision of a higher court would set
aside Judgment SO obviously against COM
mon sense and the rights OF the parties
The Court steps in, and, with perfect
knowledge that the City and County of st.
Louis had lost S7Co 600 by its previous de-
cision, adjudges, without evidence, that
these two parties shall pay $4,000 more,
because they sought to save S7oo, 600
which they had contributed tow ards the
building of the road The annals OF juris-
prudence present no such trial as this; and
we can only hope that the Supreme Court
when it comes to act upon this Gaze, will SO
dispose OF il as to make it lasting rebuke
upon all the parties concerned in this fla.

While M'Cardle was ia the field, husking
corn, Jones came up to him and tried to
brighten him of the premises. NCardle
told him that he would hold possession nm
til some other arrangement was made.
Jones then raised his gun and swore he
would shoot him, which he immediately did,
and M'Cardle expired in few minutes.
Jones made his escape, and nothing was
heard Of him until last spring, when he was

The Finale.

A special despatch from Warrington TO
the N. Y Herald, dated Nov. Is, states
that the President never had any idea Of
dismissing Mr.. Champion, the British min.
lister. The writer Of the despatch states
(ss they oil do, BY the by) that he has it Oh
the best authority, that the Administration
understood the matter (the enlistment OIL
troops in this country) would be amica5ly

thought necessary by the British Govern.

gentleman indeed desired recall, even
though the question might be settled in
manner that would entirely exonerate him
from blame.

Nicaragua.

| As this country is at the present time ut
tracing much attention. and may yet be-
come the til eatre of the most importan,
events. the following description of it is u.
uninteresting:-
"On the West it is washed blythe Pscit-
ic Ocean, and partly on the East ny the
waters of the caribbean Sea, the Mosquito
Territory forming large share OF its East
ern boundary. Honduras borders it on the
North. and Costa RIGA upon the South
Its area is about forty nine thousand square
miles, and the population is estimated at
two hundred and forty-seyen thousand
The females are said greatly to exceed the
males in number. Not more than twenty
thousand Of the people are whites, the rest
being In1ians, n groes and mixed races
Most Of the population live in towns, many
of them going several miles dairy TO labor
in the fields. The plantat ons are scatter
ed pretty equally over the country, and are
reached by paths SO obscure as to almost
escape the notice of travellers, who are thus
liable 10 fall mo the error of saapos ny
that the country is almost uninhabited.-
The dwellings of the people are usually oil
canes, matched with palm, although the
better classes construct their resldences..of
adobes, and by the help Of fruit and shade
trees planted in the courtyard, render many
Of them exceedingly pleasant. A range OF
mountains extends along the West coast OF
the State, at q distance of few mics frein
the sea, but attaining no great elevation UNI
til they approach the confines OF Costa
Rica, when they reach the height OF hive to
eleven thousand feet. In the central part
of the State is an immense level tract,
known as the plains of Nicaragua, COM
prising in its area the lake Of that name
Numerous VOLCANOES exist along the Pacific
coast. There are q considerable number OF
rivers, but none of them, except the San
Juan, are navigable in commercial sense.
Veins OF copper and silver ore OF exceedln.
richness are found in many parts, but they
remain, almost all Of them, either unex-
Flcred or only specifically worked. Gold,
also, is said to exist. The climate is healthy
though various. In the interior and noun
famous parts the temperature is more dry
aad cool Than on the coast, where it is hot,
and approaching 10 humid. The greater
portion Of the State consists OF plains and
gentle slopes, formed Of rich black loan,
Of which but small portion is made avail
able. The productions are indigo, sugar,
coffee, cotton Of superior quality, corn. rice,
wheat, &c, besides oranges, lemons. and
fruit OF various kinds. The great bane Of
the country has been in civil wars, aud it
was one of these that enabled Col. Walker
to achieve an almost blood .ess conquest
