emigant the agents of Walker in this city have man
aged 10 gather together about 500 of the rag tag and

to that country to each person. taking in payment lo0
acres of the emigrants land. The steamer Calhoun
was advertised to sail with them on Tuesday, but not
beinp able to clear the vessel at the CustomHouse,
she was detained much to the chagrin of Walkers
recruits The Tennessee has been procured, however,
in her stead and is advertised to sail Friday with

Company is that on landing in Nicaragua they rcnounce
