FiIibu.ter Walker.

The career Of William Walker, would.be Pres.
dent Of Nicaragua, but actually lawless, pirat-
ical freebooter, who has, through lack of Justice,
thus far escaped uahung, is now, it is hoped,
finally at an end. After the failure of his second
attempt, in concert with the flibusterng slavery
propagandists of the South, to plant the "pecu-
liar Institution" in Nicaragua, by establishing
himself in power there as President we trust
this miscreant has at last become satisfied, that
the people Of that unfortunate province do not
want him to domineer over them, or il he imag-
ines they do want him, that there is ''hgher
power than lawless freebooterism abroad in the
world, which can intervene TO put stop to his
nefarioua projects
That General Walkers course has been die
tated by desire to further the extension Of slave.
~, in connectian with his own private political
aggrandzement we have only to notice the favor
with which his schemes have been viewed in
Southern quarters. The Mobile (Ala.) Register
gives an account of an immense meeting which
was held in that city on the evening Of December
10th, Of sympathzers with General Walker. Ex.
Governor Winston presided, and distinguished
citizens ofieiated az Vice Presidents Hon. Per-
cy Walker, member Of the last Congress from
Alabama, says the Register, addressed the
meeting, in full, concise, and triumphant argu-
ment to show that General Walkers entrance
into Nicaragua was lawful--that his residence and
promotion there was lawful--that his abandon.
ment Of the country Of his adoption was compul-
sorry, and under the coercion Of an officer whose
government had given no such authority-that
his recent sojourn in the United States was as a
guest, and his return matter Of right, with
which the government had no authority to inter
fere," he also argued that there was no viola
tion 81 our neutrality laws in the fact or manner
Of Walkers return to Nicaragua, and that any
interposition against him by our government was
unjust and unwaarantabe. Mr.. Walker submit.
ted a long series Of resolutions, which were unan.
imously adopted. They express great gratifica.
tion at the recent arrival Of General Walker in
Nicaragua, and hail The event as the forerunner
Of the Amercanization Of Nicaragua, securing
in the no distant future the control Of the great
highways Of trade, strengthening the position Of
our country upon this continent, and promis-
ing meto potoer to the Southern States de.

The Common Council.

Eleven members only were present.
Inc PRESIDENT invited the members elect Of the
next City Government to take seats inside the
circle. -Four gentleman responded to the call.
Councilman Stone moved reconsideration Of
the vote whereby the bill reducing the salary of
the city officers was passed to a second reading
Mr. Stone proposed to occupy a portion Of the
evening in discussing the question of the re-
ducton of the salary of the Superintendent Of
Schools. He spoke earnestly in favor of the Of
fee' and Of the salary paid, and read from City

SINGULAR ACCIDENT ON CHRISTMAS Eve.
Among the decorations of st. James (Episco.
pal) Church, at Greenfield, on Christmas eve.
was large and beautiful tStar in the East, !"
set some forty feet above the pulpit, and light
ed by fluid lamp. In the midst Of Rev. Mr.
Flint's lsermon, the star took fire, the ever
greens blazing up in a very startling manner.
Seeing that the star could not be immediately
reached, and unwilling to lose his congrega-
ton, Mr.. Flint continued his discourse, when
suddenly, the burning mass gave way and fell
upon the reverend gentleman, the fluid lamp
striking him on the back, and scattering the
blazing fluid in all directions. Fortunately
the fire was extinguished before it had done
any damage, and Mr.. Flint was unhurt. His
escape is remarkable Springfield Republican.
