From the New Orleans Picuyunc.l

We are indebted to Mr.. Charles A. Scott,
late of the First Company of Rifles in Mica
gua.f oritems of interest from that country
which we subjoin. Mr.. Scott left Grenada
on the 25th ult., in the last boat which came
down to San Juan del Norte previous to the
departure CT the Daniel Webster.
The report of Rivas being in possession of
Leon, with six hundred followers, reinforced
by some four thousand Guatemalians, APP
pears to be fully confirmed; but it is stated
that cholera and starvation were creating
great havoc in their ranks. Col. Mendez
had already been reported very i'll, on the au-
thority of the wife of an American living at
Ch~inardega, when Oh The 25th it was an
nounced in Grenada that he was dead.
About the 10th ult, Captain Baldwin's
company, about sixteen in number, had an
engagement at 0metepec with a band OF
about one hundred and fifty hostile Chom-
orriSts, whom they totally routed, killing
ten or twelve of them without sustaining
any loss, and having only three Of his men
wounded.
About the 14th ult., a duel was fought be-
tween Captain West and DIR. Lundy, in which
the former got severely wounded in the
groin, but it was believed he would recov-
er.
On the Oath nit, scrip was issued to pay
off men enlisted for six months, whose term
was up, and they were discharged.
At Virgin Bay, on the Goth ult, the day
on which the last steamer passedon the way
down to San Juan del Norte, nothing what
ever had been heard of the presence Of Costa
Ricans at San Juan del Norte, and the report
is not credited. Indeed, the conviction
seems universal and confident that neither
the Costa Ricans nor Rivas and the Guatema-
lians will venture to attack Walker. The
former, particularly, it is believed, will never
venture to enter Nicaragua.
The wharf at Virgin Bay was being recon
structed, and the work was proceeding rap
idly.
Granada, RivaS, Masaya, M~anague and
the other towns of the interior are still all
There There was but very little sickness among
the troops, and that only Of an acclimatizing
character, over which by far the larger portion
had long since got. The First Rifles and
the Rangers were stationed at Masaya and
Managua.
Additional supplies of provisions arrived
hence at Granada on the oath ult., and it twas
stated that there was sufficient for nine months
then on hand.
The natives, even to a considerable por-
ton of the Chamorristas, were growing more
and more satisfied with Walkers administra-
ton, and there did not appear to be the
slightest chance of its permaneucy being in
terrupted.
The weather is reported fail, with occasion
al rains.

At the commencement of the regular ses-

ing order:
We urge, therefore, unbending determination
on the part of the northern members hostile to
this intolerable outrage, and demand them, in
behalf of peace-in behalf of freedom-in be-
half ofiustice and NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. to the

ter that discord should reign in the national

uoild disorder-nay better that the Capitol Itself
should LIaze by the torch ofthe ineendiary, or fail
and bury all its inmates beneath its crumbling
ruins, than that this peridy and wrong should
by finally accomplished.
This order is being carried into execution

reigns in Congress and civil war in Kansas.

BEGINNING ofthe End.


Mr.. Burlingame announced on Tuesday, the
intention Of the Republican party, as soon as
they received a sufficient majority in the House
of Representatives, "tO grind the Senate as
between an upper and neither milestone" until
IL was compelled to submit to the dictation of
the House. What a patriotic sentiment How
becoming a true lover of his country, and its
institutions Who established the Senate of
the United States? Was it not our fathers ?
And for what purpose : Surely for the precise
purpose which it is now fulflling-to become
q check upon the reckless Legislation Of an ex-
cited House. To be and forever 10 remain the
conservative element in our Legislation. IL was
conceived In wisdom. None but n traitor at
heart would threaten to annihilate it.--Indiana
Democrat.
Mr.. B~URLrSeANE expressed the same sem
timent here, with alittle variation. He said
the Republicans were going to get a good
working maj ority in the next House of Rep
resentatves, and, with FREMoST in the Pres.
idential chair, they would grind the Senate
TO powder as between the upper and neither
mill stone.
What do such men as BURLISGAME and a
majority Of the Black Republican supporters
Of FREMoSF care about the spirit Of the Con-
s%titution ? If there is a provision Of that
instrument hat stands in the way of the
accomplishment Of any darling object which
they may cherish, they would regard it 10
more than they would a rope of sand.

tie IT down the wind as the work Of a set of

TRUE AS PREAcHiNG-The following par
asraph is from the pithy sayings of Ralph
Waldo Emerson:
We spend our income for paint and paper
for o hundred trifes, | know not what, and
not for the things OF man. 1t is for cake that
We run in debt; tits not the intellect, not the
heart, not the beauty, not worship that costs
us much. We dare not trust our wit for ma
king our house pleasant to a friend, and so
we buy ice-creams. He is accustomed to
carpets, and we have not sufficient charac-
ter to put he floor cloths out of his mind
while he stays in the house, and SO we pile
the loor with carpets. Let a house rather be

dablc 10 all, which none but 4 Spartan may
enter, so much as uphold. As soon as there
is society, comforts will be left for slaves.
