CAPTURE OF THE CITY.
600 Costa Ricams Killed!
80 Americans Killed.


4 Charleston despatch, dated April 28th, to
the Mobile Advertiser, furnishes the following
important intelligence:
The Steamship Isabel, from Havana and
Key West, has arrived. bringing Nicaragua
papers TO the l4th. II is stated that Walker
won a great battle at Rivas on the 7Lh; that he
capturted the city, killing 600 Costa Ricans.-
Thirty Americans are reported to have been
killed in the engagement.
Mr.. Wheeler, QUILTED States Minister at
Central America, has addressed a letter to
President Mora, of Costa Rica, relative TO shoot
ing American citizens, and protesting against
The conduct Of Mora in ordering the expulsion
of Americans from Costa RIGA.
If the above news be true--and the PIGGY
une and Crescent give it entire credit, from in-
formation they previously possessed-WAL-
EER has made his name immortal! We have
no doubt that young MINIS, and other gallant
spirits from this place, were in the engages
ment. We fervently hope the news may
prove true. The latter paper above thus speaks
of the intelligence:
Rivas was t0ice captured, if the Isabel's ac-
counts are entitled to credence-hTst by the
Costa Rieans and then By The army under
command Of Gen. Walker.
There were no towards or traitors at Rivas,
as there were ut Santa Rosa. The heroic and
indomitable WALKER was in command of q lit.
tie army Of heroes, and well and nobly did
they assert their superiority, staying almost as
many of the enemy as their whole band consiss
ted Of! There was a sharp shooting and qnick
shooting at Rivas, and we doubt not due
proportion of rapid and heavy. cutting. The
American blood was np--the enemy was in
sight--was accessible. The result chronicled
above followed as q matter of course. The
star of The leader and of the regenerators pre-
vailed. The car of "manifest Destiny could not
be obstructed--it was impossible to stay its
onward march.
For some months Gen. Waller has been
treading unfalteriDgly the narrow line which
divides glory from infamy. He has marched
onward with the step Of lion and the eve of
an eagle. IF he succeeds, he will win an illus.
trious name, which will last through all
time. If be fails, he will be styled adventurer,
land pirate and murderer. Such is the way Of
the world, which never looks at the cause but
always woFships the success! We believe he
has won the mighty CANA he has nobly PLAYED
for. This last action IL probably decisive. At
least, we feFvently hope 90, and SO should oil
trends OF liberty, regeneration and human pros
gress, on the Western continent.

The Storm.

On Tuesday night last, the clouds, which had
been gathering thick and black for some time,
broke and poured out their welcomed contents
upon the parched earth, continuing nearly the
whole of the following day, at alternate inter.
walls. But, about 9 o'clock on Wednesday, P
the storm seemed really to burst forth in all its
fury. The rain poured out in torrents during
the whole night, accompanied by vivid flashes
of lightning and the most terrific thunder
Such a storm we have not had for a long time,
1t was, however, greatly needed by our planters,
who will now be enabled, in a few days, to
judge of the extent or character of their crops.
Their cane will sprout up now from the earth if
it will sprout at all. We have not heard of
any damage occasioned.

GTln answer to n correspondent, we would
state that we believe we are as nearly indepen~
dent as man without much of this worlds goods
generally get to be, and much more so than
some who have plenty Of them. We expect
10 live by our labor-both mental and physical,
in our humble way; never soliciting, expecting
nor desiring anything from the mere syanpGthg
of our fellow-men. We have never enjoyed,
and never expect TO enjoy, any temporal grati-
fcation without labor; and we cheerfulIy take
any such an one by the hand, with the true
democratic grip, wherever we may find him;
while We invariably look with contempt, if not
with positive d~iHtTust, upon that man who.
whatever be his vocation, is always talking and
clustering, and never doing anything.
The above are correct and noble sentiments,
although they do come from q Democrats pa
per. That democratic paper" is "The Tpus
Democrat" published in the Fourth District
New Orleans, by L. C. DrLLARD and N. L
FERRIS. We are but slightly acquainted with
the former gentleman, but the latter-ah!
NAT--how long back, old friend, does our &C.
qnainianee extend How many of the ups and
downs, and the troubles Of this life, have we
both seen since that time! And here we are.
pis-a-vis in p~olitice--but no matter, NAT. we
wish you-4both Of yon-every happiness this
world can give and a golden path of prosperity
in the career IN which you are now engaged

Ex-senator Douglass bill for the admission
of Kansas, while it will pass the Senate by a
large majority, will have Il clear majority in the
House of Representatives. 1t provides, as
| our readers are aware, that when Kansas has
the requisite population, she may enter into
! the Union with such q constitution as she may
| adopt, without reference to the slavery Ques>
ton Washington Star.
This sounds well enough to Southern ears
and minds which are led by the common cur
rent, and which never look into the depth of
anything. Senator DsueLAs made slave labor
in Kansas an impossibility, and he knew it at
the time, (and SO do now the Black Republi-
cans in the House of Representatives. when
he inserted those clauses in his bill which ina
vited every vagabond from Europe to come
and settle in the Territory, receive a tract Of
land gratis, and vote the eighth day after their
arrival! Why the necessity of giving away
the property of American citizens to induce
foreign emigration? In Gods name are we
not foreignized enough already? Or is it that
the interests of our Government require the
OtaLcS u OWI SoulSueEACy W lHcIeaSS uOTe
rapidly, and therefore the necessity of foreign
aid? It is very Democratic TO allow the peo-
pie of a Territory to make their own Consti-
tuition. There is no doubt of it. But is it
also Democratic, as well as equitable and just
to the South, to invite foreigners by the pro-
mise of reward to settle in such Territory,
when it is well known that all of them, TO a
man, would vote against the institution of Sla
very! Every day we see accounts of immense
foreign emigration pouring into Kansas thro'
the aid of Black Republicans at the North, to
be in readiness to vote upon the above absorb
ing question. Can any one doubt the result ?
And are Lopisianians prepared to vote for a
man for President, who, TO catch FreesoiI us
well az Southern votes, and the foreign vote
also in a mass, would insidiously insert into
his otherwise estimable bill two such baneful
clauses as those alluded to, and which were in
tended from the first what they will undoubt-
eddy effect--to make Kansas a Free State!

THE HERO OF CENTRAL AMERICA.
HIS FIRST

The following scrap, which we have &C.
cidentally spied among our old papers, will be
interesting at the present time, as noticing the
first fIibustering adventure Of a man who has
carved for himself a distinguished name, and
if he lives, is likely to figure extensively yet on
the page Of history-as an example of Ameri-
can genius, daring and perseverance character
istic Of his race, the institutions of his country
and of the age in which he lives. The extract
is from an English Journal. 1t says, in speak
ing Of the Revolution in Lower California:
TIE most wonderful point Of the story, how
ever, is, that this astounding revolution was
effected by about as many hands as we should
employ to make n railway bridge or to sweep
the ice on the serpentine. "On the morning of
the 18th of October says the bulletin of the
conquerors, 1--WE sailed with the first indepen~
dent battalion for Lower California, our com
mand consisting Of toriy.fre men.
Under the leadership of an adventurer, who
bears the somewhat suspicious name of Wall
ker, this daring little band rounded the Cape Of
st. Lucas, the southwest point of the peninsula,
and made their appearance before the lown Of
La Paz, the headquarters ofEspinosa, the Mex
lean governor. "A party" says the bulletin
with exquisite GOODNESS, was ordered by Col.
Walker 10 land, take possession Of the town,
and receive the person of the governor
This was literally done; for "in less than thirty
minutes" the town and the governor were a.
like in the hands Of the attacking party, the
Mexican flag hauled down, and the indepen~
dence Of Lower California proclaimed as a fat
accompli. In few hours, "Col. Walker had
entered upon his duties as PRECEDENT Of the re-
public of Lower California, issuing such de
crees as were most congenial to the citizens, as
well as to the security and comfort Of his com.
mand"--in a word, making himself as much at
home as if he had been heir-at.law to the whole
of Lower California, and had just come into his
property.
Since The above was in type we have reeeiv-
ed the Picayune Of Thursday, which gives US
the following intelligence of brilliant victory
achieved by the daring WALKER, which is
HIS LAST ADVENTURE.

give regret TO learn the death of the mo-
Their Of our friend ofthe Comet, G. A. PIKE, Esq.
The American Party.


The following remarks from the Crescent res
specting the American party, are worthy of cons
sideratlon and remembrance
On the third Monday in June, the American
party will assemble in State Convention in
Baton Rouge. Plans for a complete recorganiza~
ton of the party will there come up for con.
sideration and discussion; and if wisdom and
sound practical policy, the fruit of experience,
and a thorough knowledge of the science of
politics, govern the deliberations, of which we
entertain no doubt, the happiest result may be
anticipated.
In the meantime, District Conventions in
each of The six Electoral District, will be held
at the following times and places: For the
First and Second District, in the city of New
Orleans, on the second Monday in June. For
the Third District, in the town of Thibodeaux,
on the second Monday in June. For the
Fifth District, in the town of Opelousas, on the
first Monday in June. For the Sixth District,
in the tow Of Minden, on the first Monday in
June.
These Electoral Conventions are called TO
select, each, one candidate for elector and one
| alternate, pledged to the support of Fillmore
and Donelson. This will be a work of equal
deIicacy and importance. Much, if not every
LulDS, uCptAuS uPOu q JudICIouS
The persons chosen should be fully posted in
political lore; should be eloquent speakers and
able debaters; shonId be fully competent to
meet the proudetst champion Of the enemy; and,
above all, should be industrious to the last de-
gree. The electors should to go work with u
will and a fervor, an energy and n power, that
would leave no portion of any district nncan-
vassed or any foe unnet. The experience of
the past year and the result of the election
incontestibly demonstrates the necessity for the
adoption of this course, 1t would be political
suicide to nominate any but Industrious, indomi-
table and energetic men, for electors. A man
NAV possess all the other requisites in the most
exalted degree, but if he is deficient in indus
try, or afraid Of mosquitoes, or objects to the
toll and trouble of travelling, speaking and
writing, or doing anything and everything else
an honorable man can do, to promote the snc-
cess of the cause in which he is engaged, lie is
not a suitable person for eIectOr or alternate
These are plain truths and spoken plainly
The position of a Presidential elector is one of
the very hardest sort.
We here renew a suggestion we made to the
Electoral Conventions some weeks since. It's
this: Let sub~eIectors, in addition TO the al
~ternates, be appointed in every Parish and Res
preventative District in the State, whose duty
it shall be to canvass closely every settlement
within the district allotted to them. This plan
has been found to work admirably in other
States, and would in this, without question.

Great Riot MT panavsna

A great riot occurred at Panama on the 18th
ult., at the terminus of the Railroad, between
Che passengers by the steamer Illinois and the
natives. Il was occasioned, says the Panama
Herald, by q passenger, rather the verse for
liquor, who getting into difficulty with one Of
those peripatetic negro traders, drew his revolt
yer and fred at him. Soon after a dreadful
fight ensued, in which fourteen Americans
were killed and twice the number wounded,
while emily few Of the negroes were hurt
These latter destroyed the express mails, and
tore up the railing on the Panama Railroad for
the distance Of two miles, and destroyed the
Company's books, while many Of The passenr
gers lost all their baggage.
