Castillon, the Democratic leader, had been
carried off by cholera, and Walker, being
General.in.C Chief. was offered the Presi-
dency, which he declined. Rivas alone
now remained to the Legitimists, and by
the efforts of Col. Wheeler, the U. S.
Minister. Gen. Corral, who had that town,
was induced to negotiate treaty Of peace
with the Democrats. Soon after, Corral
entered Granada with his troops. Great
reioicings followed; the rival armies fra.
ternized, and became one under the COM
mand of w alker, and government was
organized and proclaimed as follows Don
Patricio Rivas, President: Gen. William
Walker, Commander-in.C Chief; General
Maximio Here's, Minister Of State !;
Gen. Ponciano Corral, Minister Of War ;
Col. Parker H. French, Minister Of the
Hacienda; Don Firmin Ferrer, Minister
of Public Credit.
With subsequent events the reader is
familiar. The treachery Of Corral; his
prompt trial and execution; the appoint
ment of Mr.. French as Minister to the
United States the refusal of the President
to recognize him +; the rupture Of diplomatic
intercourse between the two countries; the
hostility of Costa RIGA to the Rivas admin
istration, and the war which has broken
out between that State and Nicaragua, are
all of very recent occurrence. The pre-.
ceding resume will enable those who have
not carefully followed this episode of fill
busterism to comprehend its prominent
features, and to view understanding ly what
ever may transpire in future.
Late news confirms the defeat of part
of Walkers men under the command Of
Schlessinger. Scarcely had two volleys
been discharged by the foe, before this
cowardly poltroon, and his men-composed
of Dutch. sourcrou, French, &c.-1ed ig.

dice. Walker, in person, at the head Of
700 troops, had proceeded to meet the
Costa Ricans. A sanguinary battle is
expected TO have been fought ere now.
We wait anxiously for news from that quar-

OF the Necessity OF more Industry, Fru.
gality and Enterprise in the ssath.
Without enterprise, says the VigiIant, a
people will always degenerate. The world
is full of rivals. If one nation will not
work, an other is certain to do it for them
and to thrive at its expense. We all stand
in need Of many things and will have them
at any expense. We all make use of man.
ufactured articles and none are so poor as
to be without them. Even the wild Indi-
an must have his blankets, his shct.guns,
his rifles and his powder, and alas also
his ,chisky. TO get their beloved ''fire-
water" they ex.erminate their bufFaloes-
sole means Of their support-and sell their
lands and even their beloved burying
grounds, the Repositories of the arches Of
their forefathers. Alas with them whisky
is ''vincit omnia."
But in this world to make a success of com.
munities, their incomes, (the money i'm
ported or home.begotten,) must bear some
re asonable relation to the value Of the ar.
ticles exported. If like dissipated man
or spendth rift we sell what we have, our
houses, our lands, and finally even the
clothes we wear, and do not exert ourselves
to make more, we soon feel the stings of
poverty, and discover that ''he who goes a
borrowing goes a Borrowing" Look at
Spain ! what advantages were all her
South American mines to her? Like a
spendthritt she employed what she receiv-
ed in luxuries, and ceased to work. Her
present condition is strong illustration of
the necessity Of enterprise. South Amer
lea proved her Paduca, and that gallant
nation, once the noblest and most power.
full in Europe, has fallen from her high PIN
nacle, and is now scarcely thought Of upon
the chess.board Of European political tao.
tics.
In the language of "poor Richard" a
nom de plum Of Ben. Franklin, she fell be.
cause her o,agoes were greater than her
incomes. Yes upon the tombstone Of her
political corse, we may write Ben. Frank.
Inns words. Here lies Spain victim to
her suicidal course she forgot that enter
prise is the life Of . state she allowed her
outgoes to exceed her incomes, and after
lingering illness, the effects Of this moral
poison, she sunk finally to rest. For her
past glory, let us respect her-for her pres.
ent time, let us drop the plying tear-by
her example, let US take warning. '.if
you are wealthy, think of saving as well as
Of getting" says Ben. Franklin. But this
is not al, it is not enough that we should
save. Instead of spending the wealth on
our personal expenses, the wealth should
be employed in starting manufactures
Not only would such things reimburse the
individuals, and be good investment for
capital, but itwould create employment for
others, and add wealth and prosperity to
the State.
It is idle to say that manufactures cannot
flourish in the South-that enterprise can.

The Governors of a number of the
States have issued proclamations re-
commencing their people to observe
the goth of November next as a
day of thanksgiving to Almighty
God for his bountiful blessings. 1t
has been appropriately suggested
that the Governor. of every State in
the Union should select the same
day for general observance. How
beautiful whole nation at one
time with united voices sending up
prayers to the Giver of all Good,
and praising Him as the Source
from whence flows all the blessings
and favors extended to us individu.

on this suggestion, so that the people
of the Garden Spot may mingle
their devotions with those of the in.
