AS far as tyranny is concerned, i have heard of
nothing Of the kind-quite the reverse, and have
mixed freely with all classes both natives and Amer-
cans The city is healthier than it has ever been
before; and it has always been in this respect
perior to New Orleans. The cholera (morbus, not

would be good opportunity to moralize for if ever
nation deserved this awful visitation they did, for
their cruelty and cold booded ferocity exercised in
such barbarous manner upon the helpless and I'M
offending Americans at Riyas and at San Juan del
Sur helpless those that remained (siek and
wounded after the battle at RiYas and the unofend-
ing, peaceful citizens Of San Juan del Sur, who had
never in any manner meddIed with either of the bel
hgerent parties, their sole crime consisting in
being Americans sufficient in the eyes Of the Costa
.Rican mandates to warrant their massacre. AS for
the animosity of the natives, have seen so much Of
their kindness and good will to the Americans, shown
in Thousand little acts Of charity and beneyolence
taking care of them when sick, and giving Of their
mite to the hungry and thirsty, and speaking so elo
quenty in their favor, that hardly imagine any
person, maehless an American, sufficiently evil dis
posed and ungrateul to spread these reports It is
true that there are some who, as yet have not been
| brought in close contact with us and whose minds
are worked upon by interested parties to our preju
dice, who still preserve enmity towards us but
the majority especially the lower classes are in oul
favor, not nkewarmly, but heart and soul; and can
conscentibusly say from my knowledge Of them, OBJ
tanned BY nearly six years constant intercourse with
all classes that if left to themselves and not deceived
and stirred up by the ambitious demagognes whs
have always been the curse and bane of the country
procuring their selt:aggandizement they would one
and all come over When this happens, and the
time is not Distant then peace will shed its benign
influence over one of the finest countries under Gods
sun, commerce and agriculture will flourish and il
will become, under the just and enlightened admins
tration of Gen. Walker, a paradise on earth and
home for the thousands of unhappy families, both at
home and in Europe, who are now struggling for the
bare necessaries of life.
There has been much said about the beauty Of tli:
country its fertility and the saubrousness Of its eli
mate. Had now time would touch fully on thest
points, but for the present let it suffice that SAY
that in speaking of these, there cannot be exaggera
tion it is all and more than it has been represented
to be by its most enthusiastic admirers
Peace at present is the order of the day it is de
sired by all and all are willing, for its obtanment to
make any concessions consistent with our rights and
principles. " <@al@s ...,f
The few Chamorristas who are still in Leon, in all
probability, will dsband of their own accord, it being
well known that the leaders or "cabezlasr of the
party have the greatest difficulty in keeping theil
soldiers together not daring to sally from tile town,
on the first opportunity they desert by whole compa
MES and come over to us.
Everything is in much more prosperous condition
than could well be expected, and 'tis only the genius
and energy of such man as our General Walker thai
could have formed the existing state of orde
and prosperity from the chaos in which he found thu
country. The nation almost idozes him, and verify
believe that some ofthem think him more than human
and some of these days in place of Generan they
will style him San Guileymo Walker.
Mr.: Pierre Soule has purchased an hacienda, for
mery belonging to the Chamorros for the sum
$4,000. This is a fact, which of itself speaks vol
umes in favor of our order and prosperity.
By the next steamer shall write you more fully
Now is the time for those wishing to make good invest
ments to come, examine and purchase some of th
finest cacaa indigo and cattle haciendas in the world
as well as "any quantity" of the richest lands
