send you, per favor OF Colonel Tabor, the pro-
prietor OF FL NcGrdgucase proof sheets of the ac-
count OF the ceremonies and banquet which took
place here on the occasion OF General Walkers in
arguraon In reference to the later, will merely
add that although it was confidently expected that
General Walker would be elected no one looked FOR
the immense majority which the result Of the cleo
tion has given him.
General Walker had not intended originally TO al
low his name 10 be used as candidate, and 1t was
thought that the contest woad be between Rivas
and Ferrer but certain reasonable documents which
were intercepted and traced to Rvas together with
The earnest solicitation Of Ferrer and other ds.in
guished democratic Nicaraguans, induced him 70
change his determination, and on the 10th Of June
his name was announced as a candidate FOR the
Presidency.
Tie other matters OF interest connected with this
government are trivial. We have rumors Of all sorts
oi thiugs, but they are apparently so ursoand d
that hardly think them -th repeating. Tor in
stance, on he tn, two French officers OF high rank
cane On from French figate, which hal
touched at san Jaan, ard requested au
interview with tie Commanderin-C chief. I'm
meoiately there vas d1zen reports az 10 their
miasior-o1c, that Louis Napoleon lad sent them
80 make pliya proposals TO General Walker to ses
taie min ii veasiderati OF securing the transit
route to Trance; another taat they came 20 make
demands Upon TIE government Tor alleged wrongs
TO FIench s4tjects; ont Whatever the purpose Of
then visit 10 one knows. After being closeted &C.
veral hours H.L the General taey lef the city, ana
that is he last sc cave heard OF It,
Last week a courier arrived from Leon, bringing
advces from the democratic leader there to General
Walker. Tic purpoIt Of them was that Rivas had
formed Junction with the Chanorristas aud was in
possession OF the Plaza and the Cathedral and that
II General Walker would send a snail body 4 men
there they would probably disparse Accordingly
Colonel Waters vas despatched WITH his Rangers,
with Instructions 70 o,cupy Leon, IL he could do il
peacefully, but under no considerations to have
conflict with the natives.
Colonel Waters reached Leon and rode into the
city to within two squares Of the Plaza, when he
was fred upon b. the Rivas party. His instrul-
tons were such tea. he could not risk an engage
inert, and lie therefore retired without loss although
he ia positive that he coul1 have taken the place
even with the small force under ais command. l
think General Walkers pelicy Is wise one, in re.
gard 10 this new revolution. He knows that he has
friends than enemies in Leon, and that they
viii be the greatest sufferers should he take
that place by force Of arms, 50 Lie leaves them
10 deal with Eyas as they think best. | am expect
ing daily TO hear that there has been engagement
between the two native parties in Leon, and that
Rivas has been driven from the place.
Rivas u harmless old gentleman, bat has fallen
among bad friends He i but the tool Of the few
Unscrupulous leaders remaining OF the cd legitimate
party the deadly foes Of democracy. II is said, too
That Vanderbilt has inatigated him to join with his
old mics, and promised him means sufficient if he
would undertake the overthrow Of Walser.
