Advance I'm Ellsbuster Stsck-1he Bulls, IL
Bears, aAA the Three Conmsdores.
The latest news from Walker Is decidedly in
teresting and flibuster stock is rapidly rising in
the market. The great contest is between the
bulls and the bears, and promises soon to rival
that between Jacob Little and Wesley Il Co., in
Wall street, short time since. Great attempts
are being made to get up corner in Nicaragua,
and present appearances seem to indicate that
The bulls are getting the best of it just now, as
they did in Wall street lately. The game is
being played by strong hands, and there is GER
tainly fun ahead.
Morgan and Garrison wear the horns now, and
are using them to great advantage in support of
General Walker. Commodore Vanderbilt goes
in with the claws and the hug, and hopes with
the aid of General Spencer, to bring his oppo-
nents down under an avalanche of Costa Ricans
1t does not matter much which wins, as the
fate of Nicaragua, and, indeed, of Central
America, is settled, and it must submit to mani
fest destiny. We are informed that new views
on the question will soon be carried to England
as an English baronet has been down to Neara-
qua and stayed month with Walker, just to see
how the thing works, and what sort of an animal
manifest destiny is. He has come back with a
most exalted opinion of the American f1ibuster,
and says there ere not men enough in all Central
America to whip him. Notwithstanding this
British endorsement of Walkers position the
Tennessee win leave here tomorrow with three
hundred recruits and the Texas from New Or
leans, on the same day, with an equal number,
making in all six hundred more manifest deeti-
narians. Col. Titus sailed two weeks since from
New Orleans, with his one hundred and forty of
the same kidney from Kansas.
But our weather prophet sees new compli-
cations in this great fight between our steam
ship kings There are three full blown gene
rails in Nicaragua-General Walker, General
Henningsen and Gen. Spencer--and but two of
them have their public hackers and bottle hold
ers in Wall street. Now, it is O well known fact
that here in New York we have the same trium.
virate among the steamship kings that there is
among the generals in Nicaragua Commodore
Morgan is allied with Gen. Walker, and Com
modore Vanderbilt with Gen. Spencer; but who
Is Commodore Law working with? Let us see
When Law got stuck with his three hundred
thousand old muskets and other hardware, he
looked about him and found Col. Henningsen, an
able soldier and practical man. Henningsen
showed him how to turn his two dollar muskets
into ten dollar rifles, and the thing went on
swimmingly for some time.
A larger market soon opened its prospective
view to George; so he stopped turning old mus
kets into new rifles, and sent Col. Henningsen off
to Nicaragua with several howitzers and other
hardware, to the value of about fifty thousand
dollars. These have been of great service to
Walker, and have made Henningsen General-in-
Chief of the forces in Nicaragua So it will be
seen that the other Commodore has live gene
raj in that region too, and in all the chances he
may come in winning something yet George
has q big gullet, and can swallow almost any
hing, even to q Nicaragua Transit Company.
Like the Laird Of Ravenswood, he is no doubt
biding his time; but all three of the Commodorcs
IRE in the fight, sure. Look out for what may
happen, and look out, particularly, for anoth'r
,ruise of the Grapeshot
