WALKER VIcToRIoUs.-Walker has
fought the Costa Ricans, at Rivas, and
gained a victory, killing 600 of them.
An exchange says:
Walker, decidedly, is not whipped,
nor is there any probability of his be-
ing so. Americans are Americans
still, and Costa Ricans are a misera-
Bile set Of slaves and towards, half a
dozen of whom would scarcely make
an even fight with a single fillibuster.
With five hundred men to. storm a city
defended by two thousand. was feat
worthy of Walker and the men whom
he commanded. The Costa Ricans
may be considered from this moment
conquered, as it is impossible for them
ever to recover from the effects of the
second battle of the Rivas. The loss
ofmen might be supplied; but the NOR
ale is gone. Henceforth the fillibusters
tiers both consider themselves and
areconsidered BY the enemy, invinci.
ble-and invincible they certainly are
under such circumstances.
Walkers loss in killed 80, and the
same number wounded.

Dreadful Tragedy.

An affair of the most terrible nature
one by which one young man, and
most probably two, have lost their
lives, occurred yesterday about 2
o'clock in the afternoon; the particu-
lars of which, as nearly as we can COL
lect them, are as follows: A young
Englishman by the name Of Joseph
Williams, whose parents now re-
side in England, had lately returned
from California, and was stopping at
the boarding house on the corner of
Jefferson and Second streets. lie had
a beautiful parrot, which he was desi-
rous oftaking home to his family. For
reasons which we do not feel author
lied to publish, as they are only street
rumor, Benjamin Connor, daguerreoty-
pist, wished to obtain the parrot,
which Williams refused to part with.
Some alteration then took place in
the Hall, the particulars of which will
transpire in the testimony, and Conner
shot Williams. the ball entering the
left breast just above the nipple, and
passing through the lung, inflicted
dangerous, and it is thought, mortal
wound. After the shooting, Conner
passed over to the Postolfice, where he
was pointed out to Mr.. ONeal, police
man, as the man who shot Williams,
who advanced to arrest him. Conner
told him that ifhe approached him he
would shoot him. O'Neal then called
upon the citizens to assist in the arrest,
when Conner started to run, followed
by O'Neal and others. He run down
Jefferson street to Third, up Third to
Washington, where he was met by
w. G. Matthews and his brother who
Joined in the pursuit He turned down
Washing on street to the first alley, in
to which he turned and run down in
to Adams street, and on towards the
Bayou bridge. Here Matthews fired
four shots at him. Conner then turned
and fired three times at Matthews, one
ball taking effect in the fleshy part Of
the arm through which it passed into
the body, and in all probability through
his heart. He threw up his arm and
exclaimed. 'O'Ncal | am dead man,
and fell dead in his tracks. Conner
then fired his only remaining ball at
O'NeaI, who fell forward in time to
save himself, and as he raised picked
up brickbat with which he knocked
Conner down. We omitted to men
ton that one of Corners balls struck
a man employed in Phelon's foundry,
over the eye, inhicting a severe though
not a dangerous wound. Conner was
then taken to Jail followed by mob
who were continually crying out to
hang him, and had it not been for the
unAiching 6rmness of the officers who
made the arrest, together with a few
citizens, there is no doubt but that
the body of Conner would have in a
short time, been swinging from the
limb ola tree or something else

The Washington Sentinel, a demo

The Washington Sentinel, demo-

"N wiN require a neD administration
to turn out the Free sellers from office.
The present does not dare to do it,"
Mr.. Fillmore is exactly the man the
Sentinel calls for. He turned out the
Freesoilers when he was in office be-
fore, and he has no better reason to
like them for splitting their foul cal
umnies at him ever since. Mr.. Fill
more turned them out, and Mr.. Pierce
turned them in-now let's turn Mr..
Pierce out, and turn Mr.. Fillmore in.

"SarATTER SovERElGNTy."-- The
Richmond Enquirer, the leading dem
ocratic paper ofthe South gives the
following nice picture of "Squatter
SovereIgnty:'
Among the fair but false and fatal
theories of the day none attracts so
much homage as the "Squatter Sover-
eighty" courtczan. There arc none
so radiant with meretricious charms,
none so ready with deceitful promise,
and none so sure to cover their victim
with shame and reproach. The SOW
creignty ofthe people is noble prin,
ciplc, and should command universal
homage. "Squatter Sovereignty" Is
an imposture, a counterfeit copy, an
ugly idol wrought by mans hands
and should be kicked off the pedestal
where sits in mock majesty and courts
the alteration of fools and dema'
gogues.'

D Owing to the damages done
the N. g. G. Railroad by late heavy
rains, swelling the streams so as to
make them impossible, we have had
no mail from either Nashville or Chat
tanooga since last Monday. The
freshct has injured the bridges and
culverts to such an extent that much
repairing will have to be done before
we can can be again in direct COM
munication with either place. This,
of course, will be sufficient excuse for
q lack of commercial and other news
in this weeks paper.
We understand that the bridge over
Crow Creek is washed away. The
train from Chattanooga came along
just before it happened, and, not will
ing to risk the lives of the passengers
on it, the engineer detached the en-
zine from the cars to test the strength
of the bridge, which resulted in the
engine, engineer and fireman getting
a cold bath, the bridge sinking beneath
their weight. We believe the men
were saved, but the engine, at latest
accounts, was still in the water.
