sugar PIanter's Meeting in West Baton
Rouge.
From the Sugar Planter.l

A meeting of a large number of Sugar
Planters, took place in West Baton Rouge on
yesterday, CHE 9Th inst.) to take into con.
sideFation the propriety of requesting our
Representatives in Congress to use their best
efforts to defeat the bill now before that body,
relative to the repeal Of the tariff on sugar.
On motion, Or. J. T. NOLAN, was called to
the Chair, and HENRY ]. HYAMs, was appointed
Secretary.
The object of the meeting was ably and
eloquently set forth, BY CAPT. H. Nv. ALLEN,
and his remarks elected the warmest applause.
Capt. Allen read the following preamble and
resolutions, which were unanimously adopted
WHEREAS, a Bill is now pending before the
Congress of fhe United States, to suspend
the duty on Sugar and Molasses, for the
space of two years, and whereas, there ap~
pears TO be a disposition on the part of
Congress to sustain said bill.
Now, therefore be it resolved by the Sugar
Planters of West Baton Rouge, in convention
assembled.
lst. That the passage of said bill would be
partial and extremely unjust. That the present
duty Of 80 per cent. Gd ralorem gives but
small protection at best to the Sugar planter.
That the culture of sugar cane in Louisiana
has already become very precarious, by reason
of the severe frosts, and the general deprecia-
ton of seed cane.
Cd. That if the duty should be taken off, or
even suspended for Two years, it will drive
many Sugar Planters from growing cane, and
ruin others who are now deeply involved in
debt.
Sd. That whenever Congress shall see prop,
er to take all duties of all kinds of, and abolish
the present system Of imposts, although not
advocating such a policy, we will not murmur.
But that we do most s~olemnly protest in the
name Of even handed justice against being
made the victims of partial legislation.
4th. b a copy Of these resolutions be
forwarded to each of our Senator'S and Rep
resenratives, and that they be urgently re.
qnested to use all honorable exertions against
sai id Bill.
9Th. That O committee of FIVE be appointed
to prepare an address to Congress on this sub
ject, setting forth our grievances and the great
injustice Of said Bill.
9th. That these resolutions be published in
the Sugar Planter and Baton Rouge Papers.
The chair then appointed the fol owing

Of the ancient buccaneeg.-C Creole.
Ntcarnrua ana Costa RIca.

The Panama papers, says the Bee O. Tuesday
last, contain some items Of Nicaraguan news,
but it is evidently derived from the most hostile
sources. A private letter Of the lst December
admits that the church at Granada, in which
some 200 Americans were stationed, had not
yet been taken, and that a desperate resistance
was offered. .rsr
The BoZetin Official of Costa RIGA, of Decem-
Der 18th, gives the following as the latest news:
News from Rivas is to December 9TH. Wal.
ker, with 400 men, arrived at San Jorje, one
league from Rivas, and prepared to attack the
division under General Canas. Only a few
skirmishes with the advanced guards had taken
place. Canas had 600 men, who were in good
health, and we'll supplied with munitions Of
war and provisions.
Walker, in one of the lake steamers, was
constantly on the move between Virgin Bay,
Ometepe and Granada. According TO the
most reliable accounts, the forces of Walker
consisted of 100 men in Virgin Bay, 40 men in
a hotel near San Juan, $50 in the steamers, so
guarding 500 wounded and sick in Ometepe.-
This force, with $50 lost in Messaya, and $50
in Granada, constitutes all his force, not reck>
oning those at Castillo or on the river.
On the lst of December, 300 men remained,
hemmed in the ruins of the Church of Gua-
dilnpe in Granada, who fought with despera~
ton, and were without wafer, and had to subsist
on their horses. They obstinately refused
quarter, though offered to them by General
Belloso.
OF the crew of the Once de Abril, only forty
eight reached San Juan alive, five died next
day, and thirty were sent prisoners to Virgin
Bay. OF the crew of the Sam jose, eighteen
out Of thirty three were either killed or wound
I'd.
Walkers forces are said to be very badly
off, having nothing but q little beef (%without
even sally to eat, in consequence many are dy-
ing of d~ysentery and other complaints of the
climate.

The furnace erected under the new patent Of

furnaces in operation, and solicit OF sugar planters
