NICARAGUA ana Walker.

The full details Of the state OF affairs in
Central America, which have reached this
country by the late arrival, present an inter-
esting picture of the process Of Americani-
zing that country now actively progressing.
The redoutable Walker, though surrounded
by nun.berless embarrassments, calamity
maintains his ground, and now that CON-
munications have been re-opened and an
opportunity thus afforded Of obtaining new
recruits, his army has been rc-inspirited
and prepared 10 perform any deeds Of val
TO that circumstances may require.
The army Of Gen. Mora, his antagonist,
has been nearly destroyed, aud the remnant
completely demoralizei by defeat and sick
ness, while Walkers troops seem 10 be, 10
a man, inspired with an unalterablc convic-
ton that he is destined TO he at the head Of
a grand confederation Of Central American
States, and TO regard him with that feeling of
respect and enthusiastic attachment with
which the great Napoleon was regarded by
his armies.
Were Central America occupied by en-
terprising Americans, the world would reap
incalculable benefit frox the proluc.s of lis
fertile soil and genial climate. Rich tropic-
al fruits bloom there in abundance, and the
be. varieties Of coffee can there be cult vat
ed perhaps moro successfully and advanta-
geously than in any other part Of the world,
with great profit to those who are engaged
I in its culture.
If Walker succeeds in his mission, as there
is great reason at present for believing no
will, we anticipate incalculable advantages,
as the result. We will be freed from all fear
Of an extended British dominion In that
quarter. The means Of communication with
our rich possessions upon the Pacific will
be rendered more uninterrupted aud secure.
The oppressed people Of that region will re-
loice in the possession Of the boon Of a good
government. Emigration will flow into the
country, and its resources become developed
aud made available to the civilized world.
Walker seems 10 unite with unparalleled
daring and courage, calm, cool Judgment,
and that iiXedrcss of purpof' founded upon
an enthusiastic confidence IN ultimate sue
cess, which is the great requisite for final tri-
uIuph 10 the task he has undertaken, and
despite the cry Of "6llibus,erism," he is rap
idly winning the sympaihies OF tho great
American people, who in their heart are
wishing him God speed in his grand mission
Of regenerating Central America.-Pennsyl-

An INTERESTING PApER-A short time
since, the Rev. DR. Hawks read before the New
York Historical Society a paper from the pen
of Commodore Perry, U. s. N, upon the
BONN islands, small grOupe situated con.
venient for navigators on the usual route for
vessels sailing between the Sandwich islands
and Japan and the Chinese seas. The paper
in question is descriptive not only of the
geography and other characteristics of the
groupe, (of which little has heretofore been
known by scientific and learned men ever. J
but of Its capacities for becoming of great
Importance to the future of commerce be-
tween Europe and America and China and
japan, and other far eastern countries. The
Commodore's plain style suits his subject cap-
italy. In bis paper he has really succeeded
In adding much of value to the previously
