T,r1E NDW NrcARAGuAN WAR.


A terrific Nicaraguan war, on paper, has been
raging in New York. We have paid little or no
attention to it from the fact that we did not and DO
NOT believe the interests of Central America or the
onward march of Gen. Walker in the fulfillment OF
his magnificent destiny, could will be affected,
| either advantageously dsadvantageously BY the
New York journals or by the pens of the correspond
| ents of the New York journals In many respects
the New York press is an unequaled press but the
nubc repose very little confidence in the vagares OF
its conductors whenever they venture upon political
fields or attempt to impose their peculiar notions
upon the community. Byway of illustration we have
only to cite the fact that almost the entire power OF
the press of New York was arrayed against Mr.
Buchanan yet in the city of their publication Mr. B.
obtained an enormous majority!
This paper war originated from one Gen. Don Do
mingo de Goicoura, whose was recently strlck-
en- from the rolls Of the Nicaraguan army and VINO,
if We are to believe his own naked, unsupported
word is intensely devoted to the acknowledgements OF
Cuba has performed wonderful cats and made extra
ordinary sacrifices in her behalf and who intends 10
devote the remainder of his nestimablc existence 10
the promotion of her interests. Unfortunately now
ever for the General there is record OF his having
ACCOMPLISHED ANYTHING practical for Cuba, or Tor any
other country while there are rcmembrances ell
twined with his connection with the Cuban cause
| which will not be forgotten for many long years.
We do not wish to do injustice to the General Or 10
ANYBODY else, but we must be permitted to say tha1
there are prominent men in New Orleans and else
where, who devoted means, labor and intellect to
bring about the independence of the Gem of the An
titles who hold to the belief that the destruction OF
Cuba's last hope-at least for many years-s wholly
attributable to Gen. Don Domingo de Golcourla
This NAV sound somewhat strange on the ears OF our
! New York cotemporaries but we assure them there
NAV be more in it than meets the eye, as they may
/ see vet explained in an authentic publication
But, General g.. angry at Gen. Walker for having
stricken his from the rolls of the army PUSHES
to the newspapers and publishes to the world private
letters and contracts, purportng to be genuine We
do not say the documents not genuine, nor do we
pronounce them forgeries-but We do say that high
functionary of the government of Nicaragua, now in
this CITY, who has ever enjoyed much OF the conf
dence of Gen Walker, states that he never heard Of
them until they made their appearance IN the columns
of the New York journals. But, whether authentic
or not there is little question in regard to the ghtl
which such conduct should be viewed. The repro
duction of private letters is unustiiable under any
circumstances, where men are exclusively concerned
We are unable to discover wherein Gen. &. ha
, w Wv N
betered his condition by the publication Of the cor
respondence above referred to. Throughout he prove
himself untitled for any station, civil military. III
talks as though he was a chief instead of subordi
, | nate: volunteers his advice all occasions an
shows himself oflicious and intermeddling, when h
Il should have been circumspect, prudent and wary.
is manifest that he was impressed with the unequy
ocal conviction that he should have been first, an
Walker second or third in the leadership OF the Gen
4
trail American movement.
