southern Americans threw away their votes on

The course Of Mr.. Fuller and his northern
friends in voting for Aiken when their votes

DIsrRIcr ArroRNEr.-We omitted to state last
week that an error had been discovered in the
vote of this county for District Attorney. In
comparing the polls of the different precincts and
adding up the amount, a mistake of 100 votes
was made in the vote of Col. ~NcCoy-giving him
1913 when he received but 273. We understand
that the Chief Justice. when the error was dis
covered, forwarded a corrected return to tn
Of State. which would reach Austii
before return day. This change leaves the cou-
trast between 'ols. Mccoy and Easton very close
result d ubifal.

Later from Oregon.


We have received dates from Oregon to the Sth of
March, The Oregonian of the latest date says, that
by an arrival from Walla Wala Valley, it is learned
that the troops in good health and only awaiting
for supplies. The Indians are encamped on the Co
lnmba river, near where the snake river flows in.
About two thousand Indians intend to make stand
on the latter river. The Snake Indians have joined
the conspiracy with one thousand warriors. About
two Thousand are located elsewhere
1t was expected that the great battle would occur
on the lst or 5th of March, The volunteers had OBJ
tanned boats and cannon from the Hudson Bay Com
pany, at Vancouver, to aid them; and decided VIC
tory, it was thought, would end the war.
The steamer Wasco while ascending the Columbia
river between the Cascades and the Dalles was fired
into by the Indians who were collected in large num-
bers the north side of the river opposite the mouth
of Dog river.
An express was sent to Vancouver for aid against
the Indians, who were approaching the heart of the
settlements. They had driven the settlers from theil
homes to take refuge at Olympia, which is barri
caded.
A large body of Indians attacked the town Of
Seattes, the 2Gth of January, but were repulsed
after the death of two white men. The soopof-war
Decatur, did considerable service by throwing shells
lntotne Indian camp. and aided materially In hoidn9
the Indians at bay.
The y. S. steamship Massachusetts, was at Stella
COON when last heard from. There are now three U.
S. men-ot-war On the Sound to aid in protecting the
country from being overrun by the Indians

The Panama Star, Of the 3D. inst j paper bitterly
opposed to Walker, has an editorial On Central Amer
lean affairs, from which we take tie following ..
tracts:
The storm so long impending over Central America
has at length burst in all its fury and more the
progress Of those countries is disturbed and retarded
by intestine war. Costa Rica has taken the field
against the aggressions Of Walker in Nicaragua and
the other republics are fastening to unite with her
against their common foe,
We never believed in Walker, nor in his mission
because we cannot be led to think that the sword and
revolver are the missionaries Of civilization Or that
in this particular Gaze Walker and his party are in
fuenced by any other motive than their own aggran
dizement and desire to better themselves at the ex
pense of Others. E s55E&
But leaving the consideration Of the principle in.
voyed, let us look at the position of affairs as they
actually stand. Walker, with few hundred men,
holds the State Of Nicaragua by force of arms it is
absurd to suppose the people Of the country bound
to him by any other tie than that Of fear that he
has any influence beyond what he holds at the point
o. his sword. He is cut off from communication with
.nose who sympathize with him, and dscountenanced
oy the Government Of his native country
The Aspinwal Courier eDtertains different opinion.
1t thinks it will be no easy matter to drive Walker
and his soldiers out Of Central America. So do we.
Says the CouBer:
| The news from Central America makes Walkers
prospects look rather dark and from the impression
which they would convey, we light expect by the
next adyices from that quarter to hear Of the attack
of the Costa Rica forces upon his troops within the
borders of Nicaragua, and perchance even at the
capital itself One thing il certain, they will try TO
accomplish all this. And they will not have the same
tring job hand that their first battle ID repre-
sented to have been A man who stands by his
friends as Walker has Gn the very revocation Of the
Transit Companys charter for which he is now every
where so blamed0 and also stands by himself in the
midst of such difficulties as those with which he has
now to contend is not easily whipped if he has any
show at all Without reference to his cause the maj
/ Walker deserves to succeed in what he has under
taken. And if he succeeds in wthstandng the frs
attacks, and holding ont for short time we think
he will have help. They Il not shoot him prisoner
We can CLEAN nothing further of interest in regari
to this matter and in leaving it, we would remint
those of our readers who have friends and relative
in Nicaragua, that zone story is very good until tn
other is told" We don't believe the news is authen
tic. There may be grain or two of wheat in tn
bushel Of chaf-but that's all. However we shal
await, with the whole community, the development
of the next arrival with intense anxiety

A good story is told Of Commodore Stewart Old
Ironsides in connection with the discussion to
which the action of the late Naval Board has given
rise. The merits and dement's of the Navy being
canvassed in the old Commodore's presence, and the
decisions of the Board, in many cases shown to be
partial and unjust, he broke in with this emphatic
proposition:
'Let them said he, stequip three frigates ofequai
size and armament and man two of them rom among
those retained on the active list and give the third to
be manned with the retired furlonghed and dropped,
and I'll whip the two in an open seaight.a
