HoAxIsS. are some persons whose
mental and moral characteristics are 30
strangely and so wrongly jumbled together,
that they derive a pleasure from starting
and circulating falsehoods that are calcula-
ted to inflict pain, and who regard sue
cessful operation OF that kind as an evil
dence of intellectual! ability. II must have
been some such character who started the
report that the Niagara Suspension bridge
had broken down with railroad train, and
that large number Of persons had been
killed by the accident Such a report was
well.caIculated TO alarm all who had friends
or relatives that might have possibly been
on the cars at the place and time mentioned;
and we know of some who suffered consid-
cradle uneasness on account 1.-THE inbound
ed rumor. 1t must be a strange taste that
is gratifed by the infection OF such unne-
cessary pain. Certainly, there is sutii-
cheney of real and horrible railroad accidents,
without increasing the amount OF sorrow
they cause, by the manufacture OF fictitious
catastrophes Practical jokers generally
have little regard for the feelings Of others,
and those who intiict pain for the purpose OF
self amusement are entitled to but low
rank in the scale OF human beings.

The Agents OF Collins line Of steamers
have chartered the steamer Quaker City to
take the place of the Pacific on Saturday.
Correspondent of Tribune writing from
Granada, states that considerable excite
ment was caused in Granada by the suspsn-
sion on the part Of the Government of all
official communication with the United
States, A decree to that effect was read in
the plaza on the 22d of Jan, and appeared
TO give general satisfaction. On the night
subsequent the American Minister was ser
/ enaded by the native bands, as testimoni-
a on the part of the inhabitants of their con-
sderation of Mr.. Wheeler in his private ca
pacity. The government is understood to
be in tight place for funds and certain per-
sons who represent Walker in the State
are empowered to negotiate loans and loan
money. Not one of the soldiers has re-
ceved dollar since the opening of the cam
pagn. and there is much discontent among
the troops. Two com panies stationed at
Leon had royolted and refused to do garri
son duty until all arrearages of back pay
had been settled. The excitement caused
by this intelligence was everywhere visible
i'm Granada. Recruits however, continue
to pour in from San Francisco. Between
4 and 500 having arrived during the last
month A fearful epidemic resembling yell
low fever, has been killing off the army and
the recruits arriving have been necessary TO
fill up the gaps created by this scourge.-
The mortality averages or 7 per day and
was confined almost exclusively to the army.
Among the recent victims were Chas. p.
Cutler, editor of the Nica-aguan, and Judge
George H. Campbell, recently Of California
and formerly of Boston.
Gen Carera had commenced a march on
Nicaragua with 1000 men. 1t was pre-
sumed that Costa Rica would act in concert
with him. Every preparation is being made
in Grenada for active duty. The ports on
the Isthmus and the San Juan river were
being strengthened.
The reports Of gold discoveries are false.

that Col. Kinnsys expedition is hopelessy
demeralized. There are but about 20 men
left, and the majority of these are prostrat-

g. sloop of war Cayenne. The Empire
City had arrived. Accounts of the failure
of the sugar crop are confirmed. The con-
tinuous rains are fast destroying all hope OF
a large crop. The pressed cane will not
dry from lack OF fuel ard sun. Half the
crop would be left standing in the field, the
planters being unable to grind it.
