Battle Between Walker and the
Costa Ricans.

By the Isabel, news has been re.
lceiyed of q glorious victory being
gained by Walker, with force Of
| 500, over 1000 Costa RiGns. AT
ter a desperate, aud long continued
struggle, the Costa Ricans were re
pulsed with loss Of 600. The loss
of Walker and his party was 30 kill
ed, and as many wounded.
Another item of exciting interest
is the slaughter by the Costa Ricans,
of a number of unarmed citizens at
Virgins Bay.
1t appears that these men were
lin the employment of the Transit
Company. Nine ofthem were killed
and several wounded. The Ameri-
can Minister, Mr.. Wheeler, immedi-
atsly upon being informed of the
outrage, addressed a letter to the
President Of the Republic of Costa
RIGA, which he concludes as follows:
'.In the name Of the people of
the United States and the Govern
ment thereof, | protest against such
infamous conduct, and be assured, Sir.
that the government of the United
States, aided as you may be by IN
sidious and powerful allies, will en-
ouire into such acts of lawless vio-
lence. and if unexplained aud una
toned for, will take decided measures
to protect the lives of our citizens
and yindicate the honor of the ma
ton.
Rumors have also reached me that
some fourteen or eighteen American
citizens, four ladies, Zone with an in
fant) were recently murdered by
your troops at Virgin Bay. | am
slow to believe so diabO lical an out
rage.
John B. Lawless, Esq, the bearer
of this, is instructed to enquire, in
the name of the United States for
this Legation, into the facts touching
this rumor.
| send him with my flag with this
and ] pray you give him
a conduct through your lines, and
prompt reply thereto"

The Insurance System :

Formerly there were only two
classes OF Neutrality-suspicious. fire and
against marine casualties; but now
there isscarcely anything you may not
insure, if you choose to pay the ne
cessary premium. There are health,
cattle, debt, railroad, and steamboat
insurance. In short, all the prizes
and blanks in the lottery of life seem
to have been subjected to a mathe-
mstical process, and the general re-
suit of the figuring up approximates
truth SO closely that what We former.
iy called chance is chance no longer.
Accidents are calculated like eclipses,
and a man can tell, by referring to
an 'Tactuary," the exact risk he runs,
in federal money, of being blown up
in a trip across Lake Erie or up the
Mississippi. There is something coh-
soling in the reflection that in case of
@fatal collision" or a "terrible ex-
plosion,' the price of your broken
limbs or your life is in your Wallet
Sha. the worst that can bafI you will
not be dead loss, but that your
heirs, executors, and assigns will get
your value, as estimated by an insu-
rance company, although you may be
blown into infnitessimai particles.

An Unfortunate Traveller.
The journal Of Commerce,

The Journal Of Commerce, o
the 1st instant, gives the following
history Of an unfortunate railroad
passenger:
"a Mr.. Wastou, Of ST. Lonis
commenced an unfortunate career oil
railroad travel last summer, at the
time Of the Gasconade disaster, when
he nearly lost his life. Scarcely had
he recovered from the injuries then
received, when he again narrowly
escaped death, from an accident
which occurred to the train when he
was coming East. He was laid up
for some months at the Girard House
in Philadelphia, on account of the
Injuries received. As soon as suf-
GcieRtly recovered, be took passage
for Pittsburg. Some gentlemen
who intended going the same direc
ton, purposely delayed their depart
ure, in order to avoid participating
in his apprehended misfortunes.-
But as it singularly occurred, Mr..
Waston's train met with an acct
dent after proceeding few miles,
slight, indeed, but sufficient to de-
tain the train for several hours; and
before arriving at Harrisburg, a
second accident occurred with a de.
tention of "a hours. To the mean
time, the cautious gentlemen before
alluded to, pursuing their journey,
owe rtook Mr.. w., and unwittingly
got on the same train, for Pittsburg.
Before reaching its destination the
train was thrown entirely from the
track, by the breaking of wheel
The passengers alighted, and greatly
to their CONSERVATION, found that
Mr.. w. (Jonah) was on board
Thereupon the whole company be-
came greatly exasperated; and re-
sectfully Informed the conductor that
it would be utterly impossible to pro-
coed in his company. Oar informant
states that Mr.. w. has succeeded in
reaching Pittsburg, and is recover
ing from his Commissions, at the Mon
ongahela House. Mr.. W. declares
that once more at home, he will re-
main the re"
