Position of Walker.

The news received by the last steamer if
entirely true, certainly places the American
forces under General Walker. in a yery'in-
secure position to say the least. But we
have as yet been told only one side of the
story.
Granting, however, that it is true that the
Costa Rcans have possessed themselves Of
the steamers plying upon the river San Juan
and the Lake, thus for time delaying the
approach Of men and munitions of war from
the Atlantic side, there are yet ways and
means Mt the command Of Walkers friends
for reaching him in season for efficient asss-
lance. As has been stated by others, = his
encmies,-the occupancy Of the San Juan
ciiectually prevents the approach of asss-
lance via. Greytown, and that part Of Ncara-
qua or the Musquto Kingdom lying between
that port and Lake Nicaragua, the swampy
nature of the land and its intricate forests
preventing the accomplishment of success
full land expedition, while the river and its
banks are Of such "a nature as would prove
impossible Of navigation if the enemy chose
to prevent
The Isthmus Of Panama is, however, yet
open, and NJ n comparatively small cost and
delay, supplies Of men and munitions might
be forwarded by that route, that is to say,
rather than be allowed to rest as unavailable
for want of the other means Of transit Now,
too, is the time for prompt and hearty sup
port from the friends of the gallant cheiitain
in California. Let not those who have thus
far lent words OF encouragement to Walker
and his men, reserve one title Of their means
of support in this his hour Of need. The
Gadsden Purch ase and Sonora are secondary
considerations to the safety Of Walker, and
the furtherancc of his projects 4 few hun
dred Of such daring spirits rs have formed
in companies for the exploration or occu-
pancy Of the North Mexican States, could
action, and chance to ''do the State some
service"
But with his limited supplies, even tn c
stout heart of Willinm Walker and his twelve
hundred warriors can withstand the en-
croachments Of the Nicaraguans on the
North, and the Costa Ricans on the South
and East hut temporarily, if such succor as
can be afforded him by his friends at the
East and in California is long withheld, and
it devolves upon Walkers friends every
where who have the wherewithal to assist
him, to do it at once

SINGULAR INSANITY The San Francisco
Herald relates the following as u singular
case of insanity:
A man who gave his name as b. Underton
was brought to the station house one evening
last week for safe keeping, On being placed
in the dock the next morning to answer for
himself he Immediately fell asleep, and con-
tnued 50, notwithstanding the efforts of the
officers to awaken him. during the time the
Court was in session. On being taken below
again he continued to sleep TO: about twenty
four hours more, though every endeavor was
made to keep him awake. This fit lasted for
about four days. But now he has run into
the other extreme; he will not sleep ut all,
and has continued awake for over twenty
four hours. Another strange feature about
him is that he will not lie down, but stands
against the wall with his hands in his peck
cts all day long, and is rs silent as II statue.
lie seldom answers any questions that are
put to him, but appears altogether occupied
with his own thoughts. About the only
words uttered by him during his arrest were
to this effect that the world is coming to an
end, and he is appointed to anAouce it {; but
he is rs yet prevented from speaking out
The man is doubtless derangcd on the sub
ject OF religion.

McDERMorr The last we have heard Of
this victim of an unappreciativc age, was by

where he had issued notice of his intention
to give dramatic readings, but failing TO Sc
cure an audience aud hall, went to his
hotel and disguised his landlord during the
greater portion of the night, with extracts

STARVATION AT THE NoRTH The Ore
CONAN states that news had come from the
balles, that stock was dying in great num-
lers from starvation, and the Indians had
iatterly been kept alive with nothing but
r1tatoes. The officers and men attached to
the military station at Wnla Walla, had
cen placed on half ratons, and mt Simcoe
valley the troops were represented as being
ia a similar critical 20 sition.

SWALLOWED BY TIE EA.--llcnry F..
Triglar, and two persons named Magruder
and Riley, were fishing on the Dist of Jan.
on the ocean side of the lighthouse Island,
Crescent City Bay, having for the purpose
gone down the rocks, which are nearly per
pendcular, to within n few feet of the water
While there, a sea much larger than com
mon, came rolling in and broke entirely
over the spot where they were. Riley seeing
it in time, was able to climb high enough to
escape it, and Magrudcr, though covered ten
feet bp the water, was PINNED into n crew
ice Of the rocks, where he held on, but Trig-
lar was carried by the immense force Of the
sea entirely off the rocks Every excrtion
was made to rescue him, by means Of throw
ing planks, attempts to reach him with
poles, SC, but all was in vain and after
drifting some distance round the Island,
thrown to and fro by the raging sea, he sank
to rise no more. One very singular circum-
stance connected with this sad affair is, that
he hoated for some time after he was clearly
seen to be dead by those on shore

FIRE AT EUREKA.-0n Saturday, Jan
uary 10th, the residence of James Dawson,
in Eureka, on Humboldt Bay, was burned
down. The Times says the family were
aroused by the fire just before daylight, at
which time the building was so much envel-
oped in the flames as TO render the extin-
punishment of the fire impossible-in fact,
Mr.. Dawson barely rescued his family and
escaped himself from the burning building,
As it was, he was slightly burned, and ev-
erything except the clothing they had on
when they fed from their beds, was consumed
with the building The fire is supposed to
have originated from the woodwork on
which one of the hearths rested.
