Col Schlessinger, was brought to Panama by the
Dutch steamer Emile, from San Jose. Colonel s.,
with 400 men, was well fortified at Hacienda, near
Santa Rosa when he was attacked on the goth ult.,

raj Mora, was marching upon Nicaragua, and would
cross the frontier in eight days General Mora, in
despatch to the Minister of War, states that the
attack on the ilibusters lasted fourteen minutes,
when they broke and fed terrified to the woods,
closely followed by the Costa Ricans The field
was strewn with the dead. Among the Costa Ri
cans six officers were killed.
A private letter states that at the-last accounts
General Mora had embarked for Punta Arenas.

ma, his then head quarters, gave him public en-
tertainment His troops were In high spirits, and
well armed.

The way American Citizens are Put Down.

The way American Citizens are Put Down.
The town election in Lockport, New York, took
place on Tuesday The Courier, in the following
extracts, tells against what the Americans had to
contend. We ask American-born men to think Of
these things, and to say whether or not the day
and the hour has not come when they should act
as one man in opposition to the feregn army that
threaten their liberties:
There a strike on the canal near Rochester
on Saturday, and gang of Irishmen came along
the canal on Monday, forcing all In their track to
quit work. They reached here in the evening,
bringing with them over 200 excited men. This
occurrence doubtless sweed the Irish vote near
hundred. Indeed, the supply of this vote was only
graduated by the demand and, if enough Of them
were not polled to elect the Republican ticket il
is because Of the miscalculations Of those having it
in charge. But even Republican hardihood be-
came ashamed of the appearance Of the thing, and
by their direction the tide was stopped when they
supposed they had enough to elect their ticket
We are glad to note that many American men
who came to the polls intending to vote the Re-
publican ticket, changed their minds when they
saw who they were acting with, and voted straight
American ballots We heard man after man who
came in from the country, say that If freedom"
was to be defended by such crew, and in such
manner, he was not of the party. Indeed, the
trucuency of the Republicans towards the Irish
Catholics disgusted every honest man, and had IL
not been for the fact that they came up as one man
to the support of that ticket they would have
been ANONYMOUSLY defeated.
