fatal day in August was the 18th when the

We are Indebted to Mr.. Charles A. Scott, late Of
the First Company of Rifles in Nicaragua, Cor items
of interest from that country, which we suboin.

Mr. Wheeler warmly reciprocating the friendly sen

The report of Rivas being in possession of Leon,
with 600 followers, reinforced by some 900 Qua
temalaus, appears to be fully confirmed; but il is
stated that cholera aud starvation were creating
great havoc in their ranks. Col Mendez had al
ready been reported very III, on the authority of the
wife of American, living at Chinandega when
on the 25th, it was announced in Granada that he
had died.
About the 10th ult, Captain Baldwins company
about sixteen in number, had an engagement at
Ometepec, with band of about $50 hostile Cha
morristas, whom they totally routed killing ten or
twelve of them, without sustaining any loss, and
having only three men wounded.
About the l4th ult., duel was fought between
Capt West and DR.. Lundy. in which the former got
severely wounded in the groin, but it believed
he would recover.
On the "a ult., scrip was issued to pay off men
enlisted for six monts, whose term up, and they
were discharged.
At Virgin Bay, on the 26tb ult, the day on which
the last steamer passed, on the way down to San

of the presence of Costa Ricans at San Juan del

Granada, Rivas, Masays, Managua, and the other

There was but very little sickness among the troops

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 20, 1855.

p9- The last paragraph of Buchanan's
letter to the q. S. Telegraph, dated Oct.
Is, 1925, is by far the most important.
Read it:
The facts are before the world, that
Mr.. Clay and bis particular friends made
Mr.. Adams President, and that Mr. Adams
Immediately thereafter made Mr. Clay Secre-
tary Of State. TIE people loiH draaO their
Oaon differences from such conduct, and the

WILL JUDGE OF CAUSES BY
THEIR EFFECTS"
And yet the man who could write thus
of the events attendant upon that election,
is held up as the only friend that Mr.. Clay
had. The Lord deliver man from such
friends The cowardly sychophant and
bargainer was afraid to charge openly that
Messrs. Clay and Adams were guilty of
bargaining, but he states facts" and al
lows differences to be drawn. The EFF
fscts the election of Adams, and The
appointment Of Clay, must be judged by
their "cause "a bargain. Can an init
nation be broader? On, give us an open
charge in preference to dark and diaboli-
cal hint.
When James Buchanan penned this par
agraph to Duff Green, he was entirely
conscious that he was giving currency and
plsusibility to what he, Of all other men
in the world, knew to be false He knew
that he had deceived Gen. Jackson into
the belief that when he approached him on
the I'd January, 1926, he did so as the
messenger of Clay, or Clay's friends, and
that with this impression, and FROM
THAT IMPRESSION ALONE, Gen.
jackson had made the charge against Mr..
Clay. The only testimony ever used to
establish the bargain between MesSrs. Clay
and Adams were the statements made to
Jackson by Buchanan. II he had never
held that interview, Gen. Jackson, nor any
other man in the nation, would have ever
thought of bargain. The idea of bar
gain was conceived in the brain of James
Buchanan And when he left the impress
SIGN on Jackson's mind that there was a
bargain, or was about to be one between
Clay and Adams, which Jackson says he
did, and which from his own admissions he
could but do, he knew he was uttering
falsehood.
1t is true he denied that he did act as
the agent of Mr.. Clay, and assumed the
responsibility himself, but of what avail
was such denial when be closed his letter
with the paragraph above quoted, which
may be fairly interpreted thus: There IS
no pOsitiUs euidenoc that lIesSrs. Clay and
Adams hare bargGiaed, but eUery one sees
that both haze attained the stations Which hsy
sought. Mr. Clay made Mr. adams Presi-
dent, and " LNlEEDIA TELY THERE
AFTER" Mr.. adams made Mr.. CLAY Sec
Tetary of State. What are ace 10 think
Why zoe are to judge Of sfects By their cause,

calumniator and wretch, who having done
a noble spirit foul injustice, refuses to re-
pair it.

Gov. Jones and the Knoxville Stan-
dard.
The Knoxville Standard Of the 18th
inst, thus chronicles Gov Jones' recent act
of establishment:
Senator Jones. of Tennessee, says the Wash
ingtou Union, delivered a magnificent speech
IN the Senate on Saturday Without surren-
dering any of his wing principles, he declared
his purpose to support the democratic nom-
inees for President and Vice President. He
takes this position as the only sure means of
averting the dangers which now threaten the
Union from sectonAlism. He examined at
length thS several platform and the candidates
OF the three parties, aud showed concusively
that the true position Of an old line wing in the
present contest is with the democratic party.
Mr. Jones made triumphant vindication of
Mr. Buchanan from the charge Of having done
Injustice 10 Mr.. Clay In regard 10 the charge
ot bargain aud corruption. His speech was
listened TO by the Senste and a crowded GAL
lery with marked interest, and is destined 10
