Interesting from Central america.

We find in the National InteIgencer interesting
extracts from letter written by American oicer
VINO has travelled considerably over Nicaragua, to
friend IN Washington. The letter Is dated San Juan,
Sd January It gives cheering, and no doubt accurate
accounts Of the condition Of affairs and the prospects
Cen Walker and the party of progress and improve
ment in the Ell Dorado Of the South which we con
dense for the information Of the public.
The writer speaks in terms of high and deserved
commendation of Gen. Walker and his policy, which
have constituted themes for unjust animadversion on
the part of divers newspapers and government off
Gals He states that the General is now the undis
puted master Of Nicaragua /; that if he listened to
seductive invitations from parties in adjacent States
that he might reconstruct, and become controller Of
Central American Republic that he has as many
fighting men as he wants j; that he only now desires
emgrant settlers for the lands donated by the gov
ernment that he to the country on the invita-
ton of the liberal party that general fusion of par
ties has been brought about !; that there is now no
domestic strife; and that "the government of Rvas,
the new President, is acknowledged by the country
and the people look with hope to the future for re-
pose from civil war never before secured to them.
This seems to be the actual condition of affairs, 50
far as can learn from various authorities"
These statements strengthen the conviction We
have entertained from the commencement that Gen.
Walkers expedition was in the highest degree
praiseworthy, and that it should receive encourage
ment, instead Of repulse, from the government and
citizens of the United States.
The writer then proceeds to say:

The writer barely hints at the solution OF the
difficulty but so far as the hint goes, it is correct
1t will be solved and settled as we predicted few
days since. The movement so gloriously and auspi
ciously naugurated by General Walker, is being
" strengthened by emigration from the United States
every day. and will continue to gather strength unit
in year or two no outside pressure affect it
and then there will be general fusion and settling
natural interests. And, by the same means, thu
whole Central American question will be arranged
and finally determined without the aid of diploma
fists at Washington or London. Manifest destiny
says so The interests of this countryespecially tn
interests of the South-say so-and the people 'cl
say SO, despite the elaborate arguments of govern
ment ministers to the contrary notwithstanding.
/ With the following extract we must close. 1t onl.

One remark more. In view of the present aspee
of national politics. and the prospects of the futur
would not it be far better to encourage Southern en-
