DEPARTURE OF THE ORIZABA.

The Orizaba lately put on the Nicaragua
line Of steamers in place of the Northern
Light, left yesterday at 81 p. NJ, for Nicara-
qua, with some 300 filibusters on board.
| Three of the flibustering party were arrested
with polite but official mandamus requiring
a postponement of their contemplated tour.
| With this exception the steamer got off,
"all right" An immense crowd was on the
| wharf it having been intimated that some
arrests would doubtless take place, and that
fun might safely be looked for. There was
fun, sure enough-though the crowd at the
last moment before the departure of the
steamer, had about given up all expectations
of any
The lines had been taken in from the stern
Of the steamer. Orders had been given by
Captain Tinklepaugh to haul in the forward
gang plank swhen suddenly Mr.. Joachmssen,
the Assistant United States District Attor-
ney, appeared, accompanied by some half
dozen Deputy United States Marshals.-
Mr.. Joachimssen at once cried out, 81 arrest
the vessel" and having uttered the words he
hurried on board. The wheels Of the steamer
then began their revolutions. One Marshal
only, seeing them taking in the tow-line, had
the hardihood to follow Mr.. j. The rest
looked on, but did not stir, for all connection
with the steamer from the wharf was cut off,
water. The revolutions of the steamers
wheels continued.
"Thats right, take the old cud - Nicara-
gua" shouted one.
"Pitch him overheard" cried another.
"Gen. Walker will hang the devil if he
ever gets hold of him in Nicaragua, and it
would be pity to waste hemp on him."
Such complimentary observations, accom-
panied bt occasional oaths and cheers for
Captain Trinklepaugh particularly, and Cen
Walker and Nicaragua generally, rose from
the crowd A large number had no doubts
but that Mr.. Joachimssen and the Deputy
Marshal with him would be taken straight to
Nicaragua. 1t did not prove so, however.
The steamer, after having got few rods from
the dock, halted. A small boat was lowered
from the vessels side, and rowed to the
steamers dock. The remaining United
States Deputy Marshals jumped into the
boat and were directly conveyed on board
the steamer. A few minutes nlter three
s nall boats were sent to part from the steam
er to Pier No. 4. 1t was noticed that they
were all nearly filed with men. 1t was
further noticed that some dozen of the men
got out Of the several boats and that, while
they struck a march towards West street,
the boats returned to the steamer. Shortly
the wheels of the steamer again began their
revolutions, loud huzzas rose from the crow
ded deck-the vessel was rounding Its pier.
The crowd on the wharf, though nightly
bewildered rs to the movements up to this
point, appreciated this latter movement, and
showed their appreciation by deafening cheers.
The Orizana was soon lost to sigh % -.-
The enigma Of the small boats was thus
expounded. Mr. Joachimsscn, after getting
on board, produced warrant for the arrest
of the following named parties VIM. ii.
jenkins, j. ii. Wilson, j. q. llenwich, n.
! Bates, &. Carol Hicks, Jacob Sterns and
James Mullen. Captain Tinkepaugh ex-
pressed his willingness to have the parties
arrested if they were on board. AS soon as
all the Deputy Marshals were received on
the steamer the search begun, but among the
parties named there could only be found &.
! G.. Hicks, j. G. Henwick, John Kingsley and
James Mullen. These were placed in small
boats and conveyed ashore, and taken to the
United States District Attorneys Office, with
the exception Of one, who managed TO elude
the Marshals before being removed from the
steamer. The other three were at once held
to bail in the sum Of $4,000 each, and in
default of bail were lodged in Eldridge street
prison. Captain Hicks belongs to Alabama,
and had Just returned by the last steamer
from Nicaragua, where he holds a commits
sion in General Walkers army.
The warrants of arrest were issued upon
aflidavits made by Jacob II. Jones and Frank
II. Savage, who set forth that the individuals
mentioned in the warrants proposed to join
General Walkers army and aid in carrying
on a war against Government with which
the United States is at peace. Mr.. Savage
accompanied Mr.. Joachimssen on board the
Orizaba. 1t is probable that all the parties
cited in the warrant were on the steamer
but Mr.. Savage failed to indentily them.
The OriZaba had some 500 passengers. OI
these over 300 are unquestionably bound fol
General Walkers army. Mr.. Dillingham;
Secretary of Colonel French, was among
the passengers.
1t is said that the recruiting party tc
whom the accused belonged, were from Bal
tmore. Their alleged leader was among
those who escaped.
The Journal Of Commerce says:
Vhe appearance of majority Of she pas
sengers indicated that they were mechanics
farmers, boatmen, &c., and nearly all looked
very respectable. There were several fami
; lies on board, who, with a number of othe
passengers were bound for California thougl
we could not ascertain what proportion, o
how they expected to continue their journey
after reaching the Pacific, as it does not ye
appear that there is q present connection
between San Juan del Sur and California b,
this route. The party included very larg
number of vigorous young men, suppose
! to be bound for Nicaragua, and severa
! military-looking gentlemen, with crriou
b little caps on, were pointed out as officers
D One of the latter, from Baltimore, had
0 considerable pumber OF men nnder his com
? mand. The real character of the officer
! can commonly be detected only by the but
I tons of the coat, which have five volcanOe
on them. spoutng fire and stones, represent

l. State of Nicaragua, the sun is seen rising j
splendor.
