them in one decisive battle, and thus termi-
nate the sanguinary struggle, Succor, how
ever, did not reach him, and in the meantime
disaffected spirits sowed dissension among his
men, created hopes never to be realized, the
enemy secretly distributing proclamations
promising kind treatment and free passage
home to all who would desert. Many be-
came disheartened and discouraged, and see-
ING nothing before them but protracted
siege and at last desperate fighting, they
overlooked every consideration of honor or
regard for their companions in arms, and de-
serted to the enemy. BY this means Gen.
Walkers force was reduced at least one half.
This left him without sufficient force to
march out of Rivas and take with him his
sick and wounded. Rather than abandon
these Gen. Walker had determined to remain
in Rvas as long as he had one days rations
for his men, hoping succor would come. And
had it not been for the blowing up Of the
steamer Scott on the San Juan river, Col.
Lockridge would have reached Rivas in time
to have prevented surrender Of that place.
But fate was against the "man of destiny"
Still, he had a few faithful followers, who
would have remained true TO him and follow
cd him out of Rivas. They were confident
Of his ability to successfully accomplish that
feat. He could have gone out with at least
two hundred add fifty good men. With
these he could have gone where he pleased.
Had he been forced to this last resort he
would have had to leave his sick and wound
ed to the care and protection Of Gen. Canas,
as that General did on a former OCCASION
From this hasty glance at Gen. Walkers
operations in Nicaragua, you will be able to
see what little reliance is to be placed in the
many statements in regard to his failure be-
ing the result Of incapacity. 80. ', ~

Is the Moon Inhabited?

1t has long been known that the moon re-
wolves on its axis in the same time in which
it revolves round the earth, and that it con-
sequently always presents nearly the same
side towards the earth, while the other side
is never seen from our globe. No bodies of
water nor clouds can be seen on the moon by
the aid of the most powerful telescope, nor is
the apparent direction of stars close to its
edge changed by refraction, as would be the
case if an atmosphere enveloped the NOON
Hence it has been inferred by Whewell, the
reputed author of late work, entitled 'Ot
plurality of WORLDS that the moon has no
atmosphere or water, and, consequently, no
inhabitants. o5It. 1871
This inference is shown to be inconclusive
bya recent discovery of the astronomer Han
sci, whose study of the moons motion, con-
tinued for many years, has established the
fact that the centre of gravity of the moon
instead of being in the center, is farther from
the side next the earth than it is from the
other side by seventy-four miles. The nearer
side of the moon, therefore, is a vast, expand
ing protuberance or mount, seventy-four miles
high; and any fluid, whether air or water
would flow downwards from the nearer to the
farther side of the moon, where, for aught we
know, intelligent living beings may exist.
The nearer side of the moon cannot be in
habited, at least by beings requiring air and
water, as is the case with all terrestrial an
finals.

INDIAN BoNEs.-On Hubbard street, be-
tween the Winter House and depot, are or
were before the grading began, two or three
Indian graves, or mounds, of large size
One was in the shape Of cross, and another
resembled a fish, while the other was of an
irregular shape. They were beautiful eleva-
tions, but the plough Of the white man has
at last lain these ancient tombs open to the
public gaze, and the bones Of many dusky
warrior have been exhumed this week in Or
der to level the street. Several fine speci-
mems of skulls have been taken therefrom
and preserved, one of which, large one, we
have in the sanctum, grinning down on us as
we write, with open eyes and set teeth, seem
ing to show by its looks that once we would
not have dared thus to trihe with an Indians
head. Very likely, but times have changed.
They appear to have been buried in sit
ting posture, and sitting in the lap Of another,
and the skeletons are Of all sizes. Most of
the bones are much decayed, and many are
entirely destroyed. The teeth in several in
stances are perfect yet, and show to better
advantage than many belonging to us mod
erns, showing singular fact, that the first
part of man to decay when in life, best with
stands the ravages of time. Many, many
moons have passed since these forms were
laid in what was hoped to be their last rest
ing place, but since science and civilization,
in their onward march have at last kicked
them one side as unconcerned as if the spirits
who once dwelt within the skeleton was but
that of dog Horizon Argus. +
