The General having wisely concluded that the enc
mics Of peace and their country shall furnish
their full quota Of support to those whe endeayor
ing to establish the prosperity and peace Of the State
upon asod basis, there has been lately no want of
: wholesome food for our men, and consequently no
+ murmuring is heard on account of empty stomachs
and hard fare. ~
: The steamer Virgin has been plying for several
i days between this port and Ometepec, from whence
have received provisions, horses and cattle, and
few subjects for tight rope performances, unless
% they prove themselves innocent of the charges
preferred against them The Seryile party will find
by and by that treason conspiracy to murder and
rebellion will not pay and that it will better to be
quiet, at least if not patriotic, when their native soil
is invaded by foreign foe.
Rivas begins to exhibit signs of returning life but
it will be long time before the marks and scars of

storm brewing in that State before which the Servile
party will fall down like ancient oaks before whirI

field on the islands in the lake, and may yet re
