Through the California papers we have confma-
tioh of the overthrow of Walker and bis panty, as
previously published. The account down to
Walkers departure on ooard schooner belonging
TO the Nicaragua Company differs in no respect
from that already furnished. Amongst those killed
were Frank@Andetson. Achilles KeWen, Benjamin
t. Williamson, Thomas Crocker, George Leonard,
the Two brothers Cole, E. Easterbrook, and Chas
Brogan. The names OF those wounded are not
reported. The remainder of the party sailed for
Realeio in the schooner San Jose. Mr.. Kewan was
second IN command.
A sympalhiser with the fiIlibusters, writing 10
the "AIta California" from on board the steamer
Nevada, under date July 18th. says:

August is so called after the Roman Emperor,
Augustus Cesar. The old Saxon name of ii is
Arnmonath OF barn month, irom The filling of their
barns; meaning harvest. The Emperor took

called SertiEs, and celebrated three tuumpbs-
the oath Of allegiance from he army of JanicuIum,
the reduction Of Egypt 10 the Roman power, and
the happ, termination of all civil warS-the era
Of what has ben called "the Anguslan OF golden
age.' The Roman Senate, therefore, called the
month after him, as they had previously called the
month preceding, after Julius Cesar.

TIE LATE POwDxR-MiLL ExrLos,oN.-The ed,
itor Of the Wilmington Republican visited Mr.

had been several tons Of powder, first exploded,
and were raze to their very foundations, scarcely
"ne stone having been left OIL another; some eight
OF ten willow and spple trees which stood within
circuit of thirty yards were torn up by the roots,
ard wither red and blackened pieces of timber scat
tened in all directions over the field, and fruit
shaken from many Of the trees.
The conclusion was so great indeed as 10 dam
age every building l.. The yard. and to cause the
lower mill towards Newcastle, some two OF three
hundred yards distant, 10 explode and add to the
terrible calamity. The windows in the Mansion
house were all shattered, and every building on
the premises sustained more or less injury. Indeed
it is miracle that the destruction not greater.
as the magazine, OF building where powder was
stored. was partly unroo,ed, and the walls and
roofs Of the other mills were shattered, and the
liability to explosion must have been most immi-
nent. Nearly everything in the vicinity bore
witness to the dreadful catastrophe aud presented
