Weekly Council Bluffs bugle. (Council Bluffs, Iowa) 1857-1860, 1857-12-02


The telegraph has advised us that Gen.
Walker left New Orleans on the Ilth
inst, on board the mail boat from that
city to Mobile, with some 300 followers,
aad that the party we're afterwards em.
barked in the Mobile bay on board the
FaRhiou, and proceeded to Central Amer.
lea,
There Ia no doubt but that Walker has
sgain gone to Central America, and we
shall probably next hear Of his Landing
at Greytown.
What his available means aud force
consist Of is not publicly known, for bis
secret has been well kept. Ii is evident,
however that they are not large, for the
carrying capacity of the little steamer
Fashion, in which be is aaid to have de-
parted Is ssry limited. Besides, Gen.
Hsnningseu and Capt. Payszoux who are
in fact, his military and naval arms, re-
manned hah-nd. ~
Whether this new expedition of Walk
eFis has been gotten up like the second
expedition Of Lopez to Cuba, Of inferior
materials 70 his FIRST one, and as . des-
perate resort or whether Hannfngsen
and Fayssoax have remained behind In
order 20 follow with more men when
Walker shall have effected q landing, is
BOT knowm and the latter superstition
will probably depend upOa the success
that attends the desperate leader. That
be has httieof no connection with OF IA
ror for any of cur New York steamboat
I0mmodotes, i pretty evident.
The state Of things which he will Rnd
in Central America is naoss hetero9@ne-
Gus. The Costa Riean forces guarding
the lower part Of the San Juan river,
will probably hare gone ap 10 attack
ths Nlcsraguans Ia Ft. San Carlos, and
Walker may come just in time to save
Gen. Martinez and Nicaragua from be-
iag oysTruR by the forces Of President
Nora. At all events, it il evident that
matters have not improved aimee he left
that country, and the coarse which both
parties have pursued there since hts de-
parture has not tended to raise them in
the estimation OF Eha world. II Walker
succeeds ia getting ansthet fooahoId in
Nicaragua, we hop8 that, unlike tha Boar
hons on tksiE return 10 France, he viii
both have learned and have forgotten
many things.
Some Of the journals are disposed TO
canEare che administration and the feda-
raj ofhoer for the departure oa Walker.

state Of public opinion In our Southern
and Southwestern States well knows that
