NIcARAGUA.-The news by the last
steamer is highly encouraging to the friends
of Walker He is reinforced by almost ev-
cry steamer that touches at Nicaragua, with
companies of men and supplies of ammuni-
ton and guns. Walker has moIe than
gained a foothold in Nicaragua, he has rout-
ed his enemies in every engagement, and
has firmly established himself and the su
premacy of Americans in that country.
Contending against an enemy vastly su-
perior in point of numbers, and in a tropical
climate, Walker and his men have accom-
plshed a series of the most brilliant victo-
ries ever recorded, and have done wonders
toward retaining that unhappy country
from the miserable, imbecile race who have
so long held it like dogs in the manger, un-
willing to improve its natural resources or
allow others to do so who would
And yet the organs of those miserable be-
ings who follow in the wake of the Vigilance
Committee, proclaim him pirate and
freebooter, and deserving the fate of NAL
factor.
As well might they designate that little
band of adventurers who settled in James
town by such names, or those brave, hardy
men who by their determined will and ener-
gy reclaimed the forests of New England
from the red man, or those gallant warriors
who conquered California and claimed her
as the property of the Uuited States. Walk
er is but initiating their example by his eff
forts to establish civilization and enlighten-
ment in that country so long held in state
of semi barbarism by the mongrel race of
negroes, indians and Spanish muattoes that
he has so nearly vanqnished A more IA
vored cline, and a more imbecile, worthless
race of beings than those of Nicaragua nev-
er existed May God speed Walker in his
good work, and may he go on conqucring
and to conquer until American principles,
American freedom, and American enterprise
shall have completely taken the place of the
mesrule and ignorance that have SO long
characterized that unhappy land.
