CHARLES FkEDERIcK HENNIpGsEN,
Msj u General.
A letter from Havana in the Charleston STANDARD
gives account of tho sensation produ, there by
Gan. Walkers touching at that port In the Empire
City.
We have had sensation produced by the ar.
rival of General Walker, on board of the Granada
from Aspinwall, and although the Spaniards affect
to sneer at the person and bis acts, yet they have
been very curious to see the Lion" when they
could do 80 without exposure to police observa-
ton Many were anxious to visit the steamship on
Sunday, under other pretext than the real one and
several officers of the Spanish army and navy doff
ed the button, and went in plain Dress to look up
on the mau who could starve and still fight 200
men, keep them At bay. and make his own terms
when the last item of subsistence was demolished.
The Aspinwall Courier has the following, which
throws some light on Walkers Intended return to
| Nicaragua:
We learn from Greytown, through q correspon-
dent at that place, under date of May 4th, the
| rious parties of Costa Rcans, Lonsses, Grana.
| dans Chamorristas, sc, openly discuss their re-
| spective accounts from the seat of war, and the
manner in which the Costa Ricaus are endeavoripg
| to aggraudize to themselves all the benefits OF
Walkers expulsion and the introduction of British
| capital and British influence. The Nicaraguans
of all parties are loud in denunciation of the
course of the Costa Rican representatives, and say
that they almost convinced that they will have
| soon to choose between the Costa Ricans and the
libusters as their masters and, II 80, they should
| prefer the latter.
| REV. C. F. r. SHEHANE, well known in tht
| South % q champion of the Universalist deuomi
nation of christians, died at his residence, neal
Notasulga, Alabama, on the 18th inst.
Ex-PREsIDENT PIERCE has accepted An invita-
| tion ito unite with the Ancient and Honorable
Artillery company of Boston In their anniversary
| celebration on Monday next Lord Napier, it ID
said will be the guest of the same company on
| his visit to Boston on the 18th of June.
DAMAGES AGAINST THE COLONEL OF A REGI.

| ages of Col. Duryee, of the New York Nationa
Guard, for the injuries she received at their
campment In Kingston in 1855. terminated before
the Circuit Court at Albany In verdict of $500
| Il will be recolected that the unfortunate shot
which wounded the mother and killed the child
was fired at the time the Regiment was drawn up
