REPUBErc OF NICARAGUA.

: BY the steamship Prometheus, which arrive,
ON Saturday morning, we received copy 0
: the Granada Ei .Nicaragaensc, of the 24ti
nit. 1t is very respectable looking sheet, ane
Is Published In both the English and Spanish
languages, by Male s Cutler. II is quite ar
interesting journal, and is evidently the oficia
organ Of the government. Abundant evidences
Of Anglo-Saxon thrift and progress abound in
its columns.
The Republic, under its new government
seems to be getting along exceedingly well; and
should the reign Of Law and order, peace and
security, NOW 80 happily inaugurated, continue
permanent, there is little doubt that this mag
nifcently endowed country will speedily attain
. rank. an Importance and prosperity, that
will surpass the anticipations Of the most san.
! guine. Everything climate, soil, production
agricultural and mineral resources--have al
ways been in its favor, but they have hitherto
been comparatively unavailable, owing to the
lack Of good and stable government. The
! new government appears to be firmly placed;
and the sense Of security which now prevails
contrasts happily with the insecurity and ap-
/ prehensions which were ever rife when the ma
ton was under the control Of one or the other
Of rival factions The reaction which has taken
place, on this account alone, throughout the
country, is in. the highest degree hopeful, and
affords ample token Of future development,
4 prosperity and advancement Already, under
the benefcent influences of security from revo-
lutionary outbreaks, and the spoliations conse-
quent thereupon-for oppression. rapine and
i
| tine connection deserted fields are being titled,
and abandoned haciendas are being re-peopled,
the owners thereof reclaiming and reaping adj
vantage from their own, under the comfortable
assurance that the fruit of their labors will not
be made the spoil Of partisan leaders, who reck
not what they DO, 50 they obtain the object Of
interruptions ambition-the dictatorship Of an
oppressed and impoverished land
As such excellent results have followed the
policy Of Gen. Walker and his confederates in
the late movements which have rescued Nicara-
qua from anarchy and confusion, and as the
future seems full Of hope and promise. 1t would
appear more generous and just and true, If GER
tain journals in the United States, instead
OF heaping abuse, contumely and reproach upon
them, would apply very different language when
they refer to the subject at all. We do not look
upon Gen. Walker and his associates as flibus-
tiers. if that be deemed word implying dis
honor. So far, they have proved themselves real
benefactors and we understand that the best
men of the nation invited them there and intend
to keep them there. szt53
Speaking on this topic, FL .Niearag uense holds
the following language: ts#
Stimulated W the best and philanthropc feelings
band Of bold adventurous led by (Gen Waker)
who has proved himself equal to any emergency, nvited
by the liberal party Of Nicaragua their peaceful quiet
homes abandoned riend loves and everything to come
to foreign land and Assist party struggling for liberty
that wachword Of noble spirits They came they fought
they conquered The city 81 Granada the stronghold Il
the republic which had Rithstood siege Of years was
taken by p mere handful Of men, and almost without
shameless robbery their course property was
respected and each individual protected In his particular
rights.
! Here is good evidence of the exalted motives
which governed those Americans who went to
assist the liberal party of Nicaragua. Had
they been mere band Of reckless adyenturers-
as some pharisees Of this christian land style
them would they have respected property, the
rights Of citizens, or anything else OF course
not. They would have plundered wherever
there was an opportunity, and carried off every
thing they could lay their hands on. Such is
ever the conduct Of lawless adyerturers. Our
Granada cotemporary thus concludes quite
long article, Of which the foregoing is an ex-
tract: May those gallant spirits who periled
life and limb to save falling country from
repetition of those horrors so long heaped upon
her head, live long in the remembrance of
grateful people, and receive reward common
surate with their deserts
The government Of Nicaragua has issued
decree, very liberal in its provisions, to encour-
age the emigration of persons of thrift and in
dustry thither. A free donation of two hun
dred and fifty acres Of land is made to each
person who may emigrate to the State and set
tie and make improvements thereupon; each
family entering the State and settling, will re-
ceiye one hundred acres more in addition;
right to occupy and improve will be immedi-
ately granted, and upon the expiration of six
months, title will be given; no duties will be
levied upon the effects Of the emigrants, or upon
anything necessary to the cultivation and de-
velopment Of the land donated the colonists
cannot ALLEVIATE their land to any foreign gov
ernment, nor sell it at all until after an occu-
pancy Of six months; and the decree aforesaid
winds up BY establishing Colonization Office
We doubt not this decree will lead to a very
emigration. The Inducements held
out are really tempting to the hardy and ad-
Venturous floating population of the valley of
the Mississippi. A splendid country of unri-
faled fertility opens wide its gates and extends
cordial invitation. However, the unerring
arbiter. Time, will unfold the result. The tide |
y emigration may not set as strongly towards
Nicaragua as it would were it under the do
ninion Of the stars and stripes, instead of |
stranger flag.
We again quote the language Of FL .Mcara-
guense: sit is no assumption Of extraordinary
gifts Of prophecy to declare that ere twelve |
months an immigration from all quarters Of the |
globe, to use the language of the Hon. Edward |
Everett, in speech in the o. s. Senate, upon |
