THE DIFFICULTY BETWEEN COL
LANE AND SENATOR DOUGLAS.
Gard from Colonel Lane.
WASH. Thursday. Apr. "a. 1856


As ticip ted. there is to BE- no
fight between Senator Douglas AMI Col.
Lane. twill be SEN by the following
card from the latter gentleman. that the
Senator refuses to esi,ond to a pplite
note from the Colonel. such as usually
precedes from an injured party as the
preliminar, t. challenge. Your read
ers will judge from this card VIII the
here has been any intention on the part
of Colonel Lane to send such challenge
To correct apprehension which sc
copied the Pre- $. 1T m, remin you
tn It hive at no time stated that chal-
lenge hal actually passed, but that ii
was anticipated
You will perceive tn t Mr. Dough-.
does not base his refusal to give tolonct
Lane the satisfaction, thcr upon tn,
f,.or of the Senate or in the field. which
he demands upon any mor,l objection
to duellins. On the contrary. he rest
entirely upon his privilege as Sen nol :.
1t is apparent that the public unders'an :
ins tn he recognizes theorrtic Ky. tn
obligations OF the co d.eko, does him
no injustice.

Late from Nicaragua

NEW YORK, june The steamship Orissba
has arrived from San Juan with Nicaraeua
dates to the 10th ultimo She brings $50 pas
sengers from California brought down by the
Sierra Nevada.
Quiet was restored in Nicaragua, the Costa
kicans having, rs already reported, evacusted
the country without risking another battle.
President Mora left with his staff on the 18th
OF April, and his army followed almost imms-
diately. The sickness had made sad havoc
in the ranks Of the Costa Rican army. Gen
eral Walker landed at Virgin Bay on the 3otb,
only few hours after the last detachment of
the enemy left. The Nicaraguan army was
generally in good condition excepting at Ora
Iada, where the fever had been very fatal,
several Americans falling victims to il.
Advices received mt Granada from Costa
Rics state that the latter country is full of in
ternal connections, with prospect of the over
throw of Gen. Mora.
Elections were being held in Nicaragua.
and it was considered certain that President
Rivas would be re elected.
The British frigste Eurydics and steamer
Hemes were at San Juan, but made no oppo-
sitiOn to the landing of passengers.
