NICARAGUA.

The news from Nicaragua decidedly cOntradicts
the reports lately in circulation here respecting
the attitude of the other States of Central America
toward Walker and his company of fillibusters.
No such warlike movement against them, as WE
had heard of appears TO be on foot. In truth, we
never gave the least credit TO these rumors, and
can see nothing that is likely to drive the adven-
turers from the country they have conquered,
except a family fesd among themselves.
As for the people of Nicaragua ITSELF the same
reasons which prepared them for Walkers advent,
and rendered certain their submission TO his au-
thority, are pretty sure to keep them quiet and
obedient. Exhausted and impoverished by pro-
longed civil war and by the rayages of pestience,
they were but too ready to welcome any invader
who would put an end to the conflict of factions
and give peaceful folks leave sgain to pursue their
usual avccatons. The fighting class of the cOun-
try are used up; and to the vast majority of those
who remain the nationality of their rulers is Of
little consequence. They are themselves of Indian
aud mixed blood and care nothing about political
aairs except 10 be let alone in their hamles, and
allowed 10 vegetate undisturbed. This advantage
Mr.. Walker will no doubt secure TO them and as
for their attempting an insurrection 10 overthrow
his Government, they are just as likely TO rise
against the law Of grayitstiOn.
With regard to the other States, the most thrifty
aud prosperous, though the least pOpulous of them
all, is Costa Rica, and she not only has not hun
dred good soldiers but could not raise ten for
actual service against Walkers rihemen. Costa
Rcs, however, fortunately for her people, Is less
military than Gustemala and Honduras. OF these
two States the latter is quite as likely to be ayora-
bic to Walker as otherwise, notwithstanding the
New-York daily tribune., 1856-01-14
recent e.uulsion of President Caba6as, and the

recent expulsion Of President Caoanas, ana inc
probable change in her general policy. But If she
were not, the enemies of the new order of things
IN Nicaragua can hope for little help from her.
Last wear she managed TO send force OF tve
hundred men to help the party which finally called
in Walker. but it accomplished nothing beyond
leaying the bones Of nearly al its members IN
Nicaragua and on the road; and we dare say that
experiment viii not soon be repeated. Contiguous
TO her is San Salvsdor but that State has no troops
and has not seriously interered in any of the wars
going on about her for the past few years. We may
be sure she will not come forward now. There re-
mains Guatemala, which has population of three
quarters of a million or mOre under the control
of Gen. Carrera who, with the title of President
for life is little short of an auOcrat He has once
or twice threatened TO take hand in Nicaragua,
and would no doubt like 10 extend his authority
over so important region. But when we inquire
what are his resources for foreign warfare, do
not find them very formidable. For three years or
so, he has been engaged in a conflict with Hondu-
ras, in which both parties have put forth their ut-
most strength The armies on each side have
and in their numerous battles the figures of the dead
and wounded have usually ranged from zero up 10
dozen Now suppOsing Gen. Carrera should succeed
in bringing against Walker force many times as
large as the largest he has ever raised, TO conquer
Honduras with-say, for instance, 5000 men
what is likely TO be the result Even if Walker
should receive no additional reGnforcements, he
would be able to meet him with FIVE hundred YAM
kees, well armed and provided, and everybody will
see that Carrera would be cut to pieces, and sent
home with worse list of killed and wounded than
his former experience in war had made him
familiar with
We repeat il; there is nothing which can en-
danger the perIaanence of the new fllibuster rule
in Nicaragua but internal feud among the members
of the expedition, and of that have not yet seen
the symptoms. We say this not from any friendly
feeling toward the successful adventurers, but be-
cause We are convinced that ii is the reality. We
could wish the facts were otherwise; but since
they are facts il is better to admit them and face
them. The illusions of fancy or of hope are often
pleasanter than the truth, but unfortunately they
gre less safe TO lean upon.

ouences ere long, if these outrages are not stopped

The latest particulars in regard to the wounded
at Poughkeepsie, with the verdict of the second
Coroner's Jury, are given in our special report this
morning. The Directors Of the road held meet
ing. at which they resolved unanimously to dismiss
Conductor Camp, and instructed the President and
Superintendent to report all the circumstances and
causes of the catastrophe. Meantime Engineers
Dawson ard Earle, and all others implicated in the
affair, have been suspended from duty. The Com
pany have also notified the Railroad Commissioners
of the accident, and this day is appointed for an
official investigation. The statement in another
city paper that the Company had reduced the num-
Der of fagmen is incorrect; the number remains
the same, and they have been placed under the I'M
mediate supervision Of the trackmen, so that any
omission or misapprehension of duty VIII be I'M
mediatsy corrected. The trains on the road are
now running as usual.

on Saturday evening, brings California dates to
Dec. 90 and about $632, 900 in gold. The princi-
pal item of intelligence by this arrival relates to the
Indian disturbances in Oregon. A severe fight took
place near Walla- Walla on the 9TH and 5th of De-
ce1nber, in which more than 80 Indians were killed.
OF the United States troops FIVE were killed and
several others dangerously wounded. A party of

The steamship Atlantic arrived here yesterday
afternoon, bringing advices from Europe to the
29tb ult. The news has no fact of very great i'm
portance In England the hopes of peace seem to
be industriously kept up, but on the Continent
there is little left Of them. II seems, also, that
Count Valentine Esterhazy, whose mission to st.
Petersburg is the occasion of these pacific antici-
pations, is not the bearer of positive ultimatum
from Austria, whose rejection will be followed by
an interruption Of diplomatic intercourse between
the two Courts. In such an event as the rejection
Austria will consider whet she is next to do. Nor
does it appear that the King of Prussia backs up
the Austrian proposals, as was reported; while the
minor Gerlnsn States have selected for their repre-
sentative at the Russian Court on this occasion no.
body but Mr. Seebach, a Saxon diplomat and
son-n-law of Count Nesselrode, who will hardly
be likely to make any very vigorous demonstration
in favor of the Allies. 1t also seems probable that
the Austrian proposals were not submitted to
Prince GorchakOf, the Russian ambassador at
Vienna, and accepted by him beforehand. 1t is
plain that the Allies cannot well make peace on any
other ground than the naturalization of the Black
Continent doubt that Russia viii agree to that con-
dition.
A great deal of attention has been excited in all
parts of Europe by semi-Offclal pamphlet just
