NIcARAeuA-The news by the arrival Of
the Oregon, (having on board an extra mail
and about 500 U. S. troops) is that messen-
ger had been sent to Nicaragua with instruc-
tions to Minister Wheeler not to recognize
Walkers government. The messenger, how
ever, could only arrive after Wheeler had recog-
insed the Filibuster authorities, which, we pre-
sumo, will leave the basty Minister the alter
native Of resigning his position. By-the-by,
the celebrated Parker H. French, who went
on as Fibuster Minister, was not received at
Washington, nor were even the usual courte-
sizes extended to him 1t is moreover an
nounced, on authority from Washington, that
he either had been, or was to be arrested on
the old charge Of forgery against Rowland
and Aspinwall, of New York, said to have
been committed about the time h crossed
through Mexico from Texas to California,
with company Of emigrants. The weakest
and most short sighted thing Walker has
ever been guilty Of was in sending Parker III.
French as Minister to Washington.

CLrSroN.--Ths village is located about
six miles southwest Of Volcano, between the
south and middle forks of jackson creek, on
the road leading to Mokelume Hill. 1t is a
fiourishing little town The mines are well
known to be rich, but, as in hundreds Of
other instances, there is great scarcity Of
water. We are glad to receive the informa-
tion, however, that plentiful and perma-
nent supply of water will be furnished in the
course of couple of months, BY the Jack
son Ditch. As soon as water is obtained,
we are assured that the miners of Clinton
will give good account of themselves.

WOODEN & Co.-This company of miners
own claim at the north end of Mahala
Flat, and are doing a first rate business at
this time. They average from fifteen to
twenty dollars per day to the hand, clear Of
water rents. They are using the hydraulic
pipe and the way that they make the dirt
and gravel fly is caution. They have more
ground to work than they can possibly wash
down in two years to come. They have now
worked to the depth of forty feet, and sill
find good pay.

its due and proper effect upon the other
This road is very much needed; the one at
present Travelled is miserable. The hill re.
quired to be assembled in going out OF Vol.
cano especially is steep and in bad condition.
Now this hill may be readily assembled at a
grade not exceeding one foot to the rod; which
with good dug road, will virtually remove
the mountain now intervening between Vol.
cano and Aquednct. Let this important work
be pushed forward with becoming zeal let
the road be constructed as speedily as pos
sible, and the two towns, to their mutual ad-
vantage. will be more intimately connected
than at present.
