RESIGNATION OF MAYOR WooD- REVOLUTION
IN TIE DEMOCRATIC PArrY-we uuders, and
that the Mayor OF this city, Fernando Wood, in
tends TO resign his Office, as soon as the Legisla
ture shall have adopted the new Charter ADD
Police bills nov before it, and which will proba-
bly pass both branches. One OF the principal
causes which has led TO this determination ON the
part OF Mr. Wood is undoubtedly the expected
action Of the Legislature upon the municipal ai
fairs Of this city; but the more immediate cause
may be found. we apprehend, in the peculiar
course adopted by the administration Of Mr. Bu-
cbansn in filing the federal Offices in this city.
These appointments will create greater inter
nal and external revolution among the unterri-
fed democracy than has been known for year.
II may be remembered that the appointments Of
poor Pierce created n great commotion in the
party in this city and State, and split the con-
Germ into two sections, both equally sound or all
the great democratic principles. The appoint
menls of the present administration cannot re.
duce theslt mocraey to a smaller minority than
it was left by the election of las November, but
they will create such revolution in tae internal

HIGHLY IMPORTANT FROM NICARAGUA.
Con firma tiOn of Walkers Late
Victories.

We have seen several original private letters
from Major General Henningsen, in his own
handwriting, addressed to persons in this city,
dated at Rivas, March 10, confirming, in every
essential fact the recent victories obtained by
Walker and his troops over the Costa Rican
allies. Of the truth of this there can be no
doubt. Henningsen states that in that battle
400 OF the allies were killed and about so of his
own troops. The battle lasted ten hours, ending
in the utter defeat Of the enemy. In few weeks
Walker and Hennipgsen are confident of clear.
ing the country Of the Costa Ricans.
This intelligence was brought in these private
letters by express from Rivas to San Juan del
Sur to meet the steamer Ofizaba, by which YES
sci they came rid Panama to New York The
particulars We will give more fully tomorrow.
Several other letters and dispatches addressed TO
persons in this city, have been stolen or ab
stracted during the passage, either on land or at
sea. A clue has been discovered to these deprc-
dators, and the police have got the track Of the
perpetrators Great hopes are entertained that
they will be arrested in few days, and most
singular and nefarious stockjObbing plot will
explode in this city that will astonish some PEG
pie recently from Nicaragua, bat now N Wall
street.
The intelligence thus given efectually disposes
Of the story published in Wilmington paper,
and shows that il is hoax or something worse
We hope the police in this instance will be above
bribery and do their duty.

that there is large body Of Christian mission

is no demand for the article, and his Satanic Ma
