INTERESTING FROM NlCARAGCA-1HE W AR of
THE STEAMBOAT CoNMOpoREs.-lnterestin in-
formation has been received from Nicaragua do yn
TO the night of January 2lst, but which, from
the great pressure upon our columns, We are
compelled to reduce to a brief summing up. 1t
confirms our previous views of the objects and he
parties concerned in this Nicaragua war.
First, il appears that Walker still holds out at
Rivas with from $50 to 500 effective men.
Secondly, there is the proclamation Of General
Mora, Of Costa Rica Commodore Vanderbilts
GENERALLY declaring that he will carry the war to
permanent peace, and giving the following as
the results OF twenty days in the field -
In twenty days Of campaigning, ,ravsrsng deserts
covered with vper. deusest forests, morasses and Do
mstable svamps, and large vines, our way has been
marked With the steps OF querors taking possession
Of Ia Trniead, Castillo viejo, the fort San Carlos,
steamers and other crafts, 10 cannons no wtzer SEQ
rines, and nutuces Of swords ammunuon OF war, and
more than loo enemies, who have generously been set
1t liberty.
This looks bad enough for Walker but next
comes the following encouraging letter from bis
especial supporters, Commodore Morgan and
son, who hold the last Walker contract for the
Transit route monopoly - -

Next we have letter from J. N. Scott,
Walkers AGENT dated Punta Arenas, Dec. 1s,
and stating that the Governor Hubbsrd had al;
rived and that the goods" would be sent up,
and the recruits as fast as possible. Next, how
ever, comes the unexpected drawback Of pro
clamation from Captain John E. Erskne, senior
officer Of the British feet in those waters, offer
ing his protection TO such British subjects as may
be among the Walker emigrants, and threatening
20 enforce their rights "by such measures as
may think best adapted TO the purpose" The
flibusters at Punts Arenas were highly indg-
nant. and submitted with protest. Some ten
men of them had gone over to British protec
tion-the rest Of the able bodied ,Eisran!S,
