SPIRIT OF The MORNING PRESS

The buteiligeneer, noticing the recent eiet-
tion Of Senator Thomas ]. Rusk to be Presi-
dent pro ssmpors Of the United States Senate,
takes occasion to say:
cit 10 usual at the Gle Sc TO choose Presi-
dent pro terspors to act in the absence OF the
Vice President. Tho honor OF this position
has lust been assigned to the Hon Thomas j.
Rusk. of Texas Mr. Rusk is now in bis third
term, and has all tie advantages which expe-
rience and o courteous manner can give to a
presiding officer Of o straightforw ard and
manly bearing, his opinions always have
weight with bis compeers, and the country at
large readily accords to him the possession Of
the attributes Of wise and conservative
statesman"
The Union, discussing the political sgus of
the times, take, occasion t, say:
" Notwithstanding the spasmodic efforts of
those who live by fsnaticism, the general dir
position Of the country is manifsetly one Of
confidence in the principles and intentions of
the new administration. Seldom has an aC-
encouraging evidences of public opinion And
this Is the more striking when il Is remem.
bered what whirlwind of political excite.
nent preceded the late presidential election.
All the elements Of party discord had been
let loose, and ragged over the Union with almost
unprecedented fury. those who looked st
the canvass from abroad, without q thorough
acquaintance with our political system and
our people, may well have anticipated most
Wild and fearfsl consequences, upon which
side soever the victory might incline Yet
the moment the contest b ad ended, the clouds
vanished, the sky became serene, and the
angry waves were stjlled. As the President
veil said in his Inaugural, "the voice of the
msJority, speaking in the manner prescribed
DIV the cOnstltEtlOn- aard apd pi
submission followed" The love Of our people
for their institutions, as we'll as their habituaI
regard for law and order, received thus q new
and mcst welcome illustration

From Nicaragua.

By way Of Havana We have one week Q later
intelligence from Greytown, forwarded BY the
British West India msil-stsaner Trent. The
Trent acknowledges partial successes gained
By Coils. Titus and Lockridgs oyer the Costa
Rican forces stationed at various points along
the San Juan river up to The lake. The As
piuwan Courier, in its extra Of 81 Of March,
mentions that GWalker' party have forced
their way MP the San juan river to the lake
with but tr;ling loss, and the capture Of very
considerable amount. Of arms and provisions.
Col. Mcdonald, of the Nicaraguan army,
| has published q report of the late operations
| on the San Juan river BY Coils Lockridgs and
Anderson, CT which report the New York
| Times says: 5fsFE
"From the confused report We infer that
| TIE fort at Serapique and the lower fort at
Castillo had been tax On fOm the Costa Ricans.
The Colonel speaks Of landing on the island
of San Carlos but this must not be mista ken
| for the port of the same name a long distance
up. He evidently means the island of Provi.
dence A large quantity of arms and ammu-
milton had, according to bis account, fallen
into the hands of the victors, who were full Of
hope that communication would soon be re-
opened with Gen Walker In t.eir retreat
the Costa Ricans had burnt the steamers, With
the exception Of one, the j Scott, which
was rescued from destruction by party of
| I.ockridge's men, after having suffered from
TIE flames 50 much that it could not be used. ~
Commenting In general terms on the above
Intelligence tho Times says
cit gees just far enough to stimulate the
hopes Of w alksr's friends, witbout changing
the opinions Of those who consider his cODdi-
ton desperate Col Lockridge is making
desperate efforts to reopen his line Of reinforce
