A correspondent Of the New York Herald
published on Saturday last, in connection
with the current Nicarsguan emeute, q sue
cinct account of various acts of inexcusable
and needless cruelty perpetrated by Walk
er-among them being his treacherous muir
der Of Salasar, of whom dong before Walk
er was heard of all well-informed North
Americans knew, from his reputation as one
of the most enlightened, public spirited and
truly liberal gentlemen in all Spanish Ameri-
ca. Unfortunately for him, he conceived the
idea that he could benefit his country by in
PRODUCING into it, Walker, with band of San
Francisco rsgamufins at his heels; and he
accordingly imported w. and his original six
ty-fve followers. But We let the New York
Mirror (which has taken the trouble to con-
dense the Heraid's correspondents account of
Salazar's murder) tell the story, as follows:
"Don Mariana Salazar, was one Of the
wealthiest, bravest and most accomplished
gentlemen 9f Central America, a member of
the rich house of Solan & Co of Genoa. He
married the beautiful and virtuous sister of
President Castellon, by whom he had several
children. When Senior Castellon-one of the
few men Of Central America who could boast
Of the pure Spanish sangr1 aeui in his voins-
came to the unhappy determination of EN-
ploying Walker to assist the cause Of liberty
in Nicaragua, il was his brother-in-law, Senior
Salazar, who furnished means which enabled
General Walker to raise his battalion in San
Francisco, and transport both himself and it
10 the scene of operations
cater this again, when Walker had been
foiled in his first mad attempt On Rivas, and
when the administration by whom he bad
been invited looked coldly on his want of mill
tary prudence, it was to Salazar he turned as
his mistaken friend, and from him received
such personal aid and advice as to enable him
to continue his operations. Those operations
terminated in temporary victory, and Don
Patricio Rivas was nominated President, and
Don Mariana Salazarto high official position.
"Salazar was faithfully fulfilling the duties
of this post, when Walker caused him to be
arrested as he was crossing the Bay Of Zones
ca, on visit to that family from which he had
torn himself in obedience to Walkers earnest
prayer and cry for help The rest is known.
Without any charges made against him-with-
out the examination of a single wituess-with-
out defence or any form of trisl-he was con-
demned to instant death, by the man he had
sacrificed time, ease and fortune to elevate.
The case stands without parallel in the rec
ords of the world.
GAS Don Mariana was led out into the es-
planade, where his open coffin stood awaiting
him, he plucked large blue flower, of the
cOnvolvolus species, and made it his last re-
quest TO the attending confessor that this bios
som, which he would hold next his heart when
dying, should be conveyed to his wife, who
was then eagerly awaiting his promised visit
in San Salvador, neighboring and neutral
republic. The intelligence killed her, poor
lady, She tell into delirious fever on hear
ing it, and died in few days, still holding to
her lips the flower which her dying husband
sent"
Of the manner Of men by whom he is sur
rounded, the reader may obtain some idea
not long since executed by his order for some
act of insubordination, If we remember cor
rsctly. This confession was published at the
time, and we laid it aside for use when the
proper time should arrive, as it has now ar.
rived:
al was born says Lieut.. Jennings Estelle,)
in Marshall, Tennessee, in the year 1888, and
was raised from my infancy in Kinds county,
Mississippi. L started to California in 1852.
On the road had difficulty with n man of
the name of Howard, and shot him. / after
wards shot man Of the name of Hays, but
the wound did not happen to prove fatal. In
the same year had difficulty with Charles
Robinson, and stabbed him in three places.
My last two difficulties, while in California,
occurred at the State Prison, where l had
been employed for the last two years. After
getting IN the last scrape, came TO Nicaragua
and shot Thos. Edwards. l afterwards shot
Charles Gordon. 1 must say that in all my
difficulties was not once in my right mind.
Twice / had been forgiven, and hope to be
forgiven for them all. | think there is q God
in heaven that will and can forgive, and He
knows and / know, that it was not l that kill
ed Charles Gordon. 1t was whisky and my
crazed mind that did it. say that was not
in my right mind when | did the deed, and
God knows it. Forgive me, officers and sol
diers, and 1 cen die happy man."
We conclude this grave subject for to-day,
with the following brief synopsis of the fate
and condition Of the Americans who have
joined Walker, which we Gull from New
York city exchanges comments upon the cur
rent controversy:
at appears from the official statements in
FL NicarGgusnSs, Walkers newspaper organ,
that within the last fourteen months he has
received from the United States little over
