with great slaughter. In the last attack
which the enemy made upon Walker in Ri
vas, they were beaten back with loss of
six hundred men. Rivas, It will be remem-
bered, is strongly fortified and barricaded,
The enemy cannot cope with the North
men in an open field, but in the chapparal
they stand a fair chance. The climate is
their most effective weapon, and although
Walkers army was not suffering greatly
by disease, yet the deaths are by far more
than the accession to his ranks. Our friend
expresses the opinion that Gen. Walker
has no chance for success. He may main
tain himself for several months, but is GER
tain as anything can be, that he mustevent-
ually succumb. 1t is obvious with this
small number of men and the inability of
his friends on San Juan River opening
communication with him, that his chances
are utterly hopeless. The game is about
finished. The hand writing is seen upon
the wall. He has been weighed in the
balance and found wanting. Successful
Mr.. William Walker had been hero. He
has failed, miserably failed, and is a pirate
and a robber. Success is merit.

Reliable News from Nicaragua.

We had the pleasure on Saturday of
congratulating our young friend, Chas
W. Kleisendorff, late an officer in Walkers
army, Oh his safe return from Nicaragua
He was released by the energetic efforts
of dear relative who went to Washington
and obtained letters from various public
men, and sent them by special messen-
ger, via Aspinwall, to Gen. Walkers head
quarters. This influence had the desired
effect, and Mr.. KleisendorF was permitted
to return. He left Rivas, the only post
Walker holds, on March 7th, and accom-
panied by an escort, reached San Juan on
the Pacific, where he embarked on the
California steamship Sierra Nevada. which
conveyed him to Panama. After crossing
the Isthmus, he took passage on the Tenn
estee and landed at New York.
He has borne an active part in the va
rious conflicts in that country for nearly
seven months, and with great credit to him
self, we are gratifed to record.
He informs us that the statements made
in New York papers as to Walker having
LOO men, is unqualifiedly false. lie
had. at the date of his departure, 500 men,
of which 400 were capable of bearing
arms. The others were disabled by wounds
or disease The enemy, who are princi
pally Costa Ricans, commanded by Gener-
ais Canas and Bosquet, number from g.,
600 to $500 men well armed and equip
ped They have complete possession of
the Transit Route between the Pacific and
Lake Nicaragua. When Walker desires to
communicate at San Juan with the steam
ships which land monthly, he sends a good
portion Of his force to escort back in safety
the new recruits of provisions which ar
rive from California. Walkers men have
no bread, but are tolerably supplied with
fresh beef and plantains, which are the
only articles of food. Hats and shoes are
plenty, but in other clothing his army is
sadly deficient Much drunkenness pre-
walls, especially among officers. The men
have not as great facilities for obtaining Ii
quor. else their pernicious example would
be more generally initiated

Judge Taney and his Libelers.

Within the last few weeks the various
hirelings of the republican presS-partly
through ignorance and malignity, and part
ly at the solicitation of the frightened lead
ers Of their expiring party = have been
striving to escape the fatal effects of the
recent Supreme Court decision, not by
constitutional argument, but by that last
resort of dying faction, the orgumemtum
I'D hominem. They are as superstitiously
afraid of the constitution as the Hindoos
of their invisible Deity, and its require
ments are only known to them through the
crafty oracles uttered by their false and reck
less high priests. And thus the decree of
the highest tribunal upon earth is sought
to be combated by an indiscrminate and
rabid abuse Of its members; among the
rest, exposed by his very eminence. Roger
b. Taney has received their fiercest as
sauls. We do not propose to defend his
private character, for its purity and sacred
ness render it invulnerable. Nor do we
presume to stand as the advocate of his
lofty abilities and legal learning for few,
even of his cotemporaries, are equal to the
task. History is his defense and his culo-
gy. Her testimony is, that never has
there existed in this gifted land mind
more endowed with comprehensiveness
and discrimination, or heart more full Of
honor and nobility, than that of Roger b.
Taney. The mantle of Chief Justice Mar
shall has fallen upon him with all its adorn-
ing virtues, increased by time and polished
by experience The master spirits Of the
last half century have done homage to
him, and it is related that when young
man, at the death of William Pinckney,
when some one exclaimed, Alas! the Go
Hath Of the bar has gone," old justice
Dorsey, of Maryland, man OF able Judg-
ment, exclaimed, aye, but we have the
David left in Roger b. Taney." Many
rich tribues, both to his talents and char
acter, could be mentioned if time would
permit AMI yet this is the man that is
reviled by these upstart slanderers as weak,
vcnal, tickle and unprinciplcd He is

Crime Astounding. tii

The gospel is preached to the people
regularly all over the country-religious
papers and magazines are circulated IN
families, and many valuable persons set
good examples before the world--but, not
withstanding all this, and more, obserya-
ton teaches us that rascality abounds III
allclasses of society. Petty thefts are daily
committed. such as robbing money
drawers, stealing clothes, and dry goods,
chickens, ducks, corn, and other eatables.
Strolling vagabonds, dealers 10 counterfeit
money and diseased horses are all over the
country. Gamblers, travelling and local,
and resident rogues, are all on the alert
Pious Williams, with faces as sanctifed as
the moral law, are keeping false accounts,
and swearing to them for the sake of gain.
Whiskey shops are selling by the small,
in violation of the law. Drug stores are
training up drunkards in high life, and af-
fording facilities for Sabbath drinking
which can be had nowhere else The rich
are expressing the poor, and the poor are
content to live in rags and idleness. Coun-
try dealers in produce come to town and
exact two prices. for all they have to sell,
and the owners of real estate in towns are
asking double rents, to the injury of bust
ness and the growth of towns. Banks
I -
good, have their favorites, and are partial
in the distribution Of their faYors Families
persecute and envy each other. Ind;vidu
ais SANDER their betters. Persons of low
origin put on airs, and falsely pretend 20
be more than they are. Cheating and mis-
representation are the order of the day,
generally. In politics there is very little
patriotism, or love of country, while dema-
gogues seem to mislead, and build up their
own fortunes ct the hazard of running the
country. In religion there is more hy-
pocrisy than grace, and the biggest. scoa..-
drels living crowd into the church, with
a view to cloak their raScally designs, and
mere effectually to serve the devil in. In
a word, rascality abounds in all classes and
in all countries. The devil is stalking
abroad in open daylight, without the pre-
caution 10 dress himself. And if the pres
ent generation of men could see them
selves in the Gospel Glass, they are as
black as hell.
