1 SKETCH OF GEN. WALKER-The following
sketch Of this remarkable fillibuster is furnished
by correspondent to the Washington Star:
william Walker was born in Nashville, Ten.
nessee and is now about thirtythree years old
His father is James Walker, Esq, citizen of
Nashville, of Scottish BIRTH and very much res
pected His mother was q Miss Eorvell, an esti-
mable lady from Kentucky. Walker, after quitting
school in his native State-which he did with
much credit and honor-commenced the study
of medicine in the University of Pennsylvania,
where he graduated. He then went to Europe en-.
tered the medical schools of Paris student, re.
ceived diploma there, and, after some time spent
in travel, returned to this country, went to Nash.
vile, and commenced the study and practice of
the law Walker is thus both lawyer and physi.
clan. rs ..s.-s
From Nashville, he went to New Orleans, and
was for some time editor of the Crescent In June,
1850, he went to San Francisco and become one
of the editors Of the Herald While in this position
an article appeared in the Herald aminadveIting
upon the judiciary, to which exception was taken
by Judge Parsons, of the District Court who forth.
on the editor fine of $500. This Walker refused
to pay, and was accordingly imprisoned but was
subsequently discharged on writ of habeds corpus
issued from the Superior Court, which action was
sustained by the Legislature at its next session.
The next enterprise in which Walker was engaged
was the famous expedition to Sonora, with the dis
astrous result of which your readers are as fami-
liar as they are with his more recent history. He
is, besides, man of indomitable courage and per-
severance. When a student in Philadelphia,
strange as It may seem, he was remarkable for his
dffdent and ever taciturn manner and gentle dis.
position In person, he is rather under than above
the medium height, and was formerly of fair com
plexion, somewhat freckled face, with light hair
gray eyes, and high cheek bones.
