War with Costa Rlea q.

War with Costa Rica-
The Nicaragnensc contains the following
article on the subject ofthe war:
By the official publications in another portion
the paper, it will be perceived that we are in
the midst Of war The dire alternative has
been forced upon Us, and we disdain all respon-
sibility in its origin. Nicaragua would have
preferred a peaceabe adjustment Of her diff
cultes with Costa Rica, as her offers Of peace
have amply testified; but she does not shrink
from the sterner arbirament Of the sword. And
since war has been thus wantonly thrust upon
us; since we are so unjustly assailed it does not
rest at our charge TO ask for peace. The enemy
mustoffer terms preparation for this aggression,
before Nicaragua can consent to any cessation
Of ofhostilities. e.
The proclamation Of President Mora is a
regular piece OF buncombe, and would do credit
10 backwoods lawyer. He says great many
things he does not mean, and proposes feats be
has no idea OF accomplishing. He is weak
President, something after Franklin Pierce's
model, and no doubt has Minister the counter
part of Mr.. Marcy. But they have walked up
the wrong man--they have put on airs in the
wrong company. General Walker will teach
them better manners, while he imposes upon
their minds a serious lesson in politics. Such
viii be ths consequence Of this piece of parch-
ment Of Mr.. Mora and his Secretary, individu-
ally.
To Costa Rica, as a nation we cannot calculate
the econseqnenc Onher rests the blame, and on
her must Gall the effects. This much we can say,
however, that peaceful citizens need apprehend
noevil. The soldiers Of Nicaragua come TO re
generate, not 10 destroys and while an energetic
var ~ill he wsged against the Government OF
Costa iica, private property viii be held sacred,
andpersonal liberty projected a. inviolable. The
agiiators, however, who have set this war on
foot, must hold themselves responsible 10 new

A Great city in Contra, Africa.

Mr.. Bowen, a Baptist Missionary, sent out
from Florida, in his journal mentions a visit
made last April to Horrin, the capital of the
Kingdom of Yoreba. He speaks of it as
about the largest town, with the exception Of
London, that he has ever seen. He describes
the inhabitants as peculiar people, with whom
he was much pleased-mostly black, and some
nearly white hair, between that of a negro and
a white mans beard /; good European features
some of their noses would even be considered
sharp in America. Again he speaks of them
as that superior class or race of men who
have jet black skins, with European features,
and large beard. They are sometimes called
white black men,"
Mr.. Brown adds: IL never Saw an honorable
man, nor a modest woman in Africa, till
reached Horrin. The number of people who
can read and write surprised me. Many OF
them have no idols. They were generally
serious, solid, sensible people,, and profess to
believe in God. They have no tincture Of
Mahomedanism."
The existence of such people, in a region
hitherto unknown, but supposed to be the abode
Of utter barbarism, is a fact of no little inte
rest. IL would seem from Mr.. Bowen's state
ments-( unfortunately his journal is too briei
to be satisfactory that they are willing listeners
to the preaching of the gospel.

On Wednesday night, through some unac-
countable circumstances, an alarm was given
in garrison, about the hour of o'clock, and
the different companies in hot haste, though
in perfect order, marched to the plaza, but,
after remaining under arms for less than an
hour, and no further alarm, they were dis
missed to quarters. During the early part of
the evening of the same night, some three
arrests of traitors to the Government had taken
place, which rendered the report of an attack
more probable.

EE Speaking of the late President

w Speaking of the late Presidential
contest the Buffalo Express remarks in the
following style: ave look back to the
contest through which we have just passed
with feelings of pride and admiration. The
bearing of the party has been truthful and
gallant. 1t has fought for principles, with
out a compromise. 1t has inscribed the
doctrines of true and living democracy
upon its banner, and placed it in the hands
of a noble standurd-bearer-rallying round
him through the dark as well as the bright
days of the fight, with unfaltoring hearts
and unyielding devotion to the cause. We
feel confident that the Republican forces
deserved success, though they failed to real
ize it; and while we enjoy the satisfaction
of believing this, we have the consolation of
adding that the blessings of a just Provi-
dence will not long be withheld from such
a cause and such efforts, and that the full
fruition of triumph is only deferred.
