The Boston Courier reports:
SIN eonversing with these men, we found
that a remarkable degree Of respect for their
past commander, aud much enthusiasm re-
gardins future prospects in Nicaragua, sP-
peaIed to animate the whole. Not one CON-
planned of the treatment be had received from
General Walker, bat attributed their suferings
and pTiyatiOns TO causes which it was not IL.
lis power to control. Many Of them con
-veTsed very inteliigently in regard to the state
Of affairs in the country where they bad met
with such disasters, and maintained that
walkers conduct had been much misrepresent-
ed. All were earnest in proelaiming their de-
sire 70 turn about and 20 back if the oppor-
tuhity should again offer itself.
"Lieut. Isaac r. Snyder, Of PENNSYLVANIA,
has been with Walker since LIST November.
lie thinks Walker one ofthe bravest Of soldiers.
Walker, in battle, never said CO ahead, meBi'
be always said Come or, men 2 aCd Snyder
bad seeu him at the head Of his men in The
midst Of a heavy fire, from which IL cid not
seem possible that be could c ne out alive.
Snyder says that be was always well treated
BY Walker, aud has 10 cause TO complain Of him.
He never knew ofbut two or three instances in
which he COmmander's conduct could be con-
siderrd cruel. One was when-a sergeant who
had deserted was captured and bro Ight back 10
Walker, who ordered bin to be shot without a
court martial. The other instance, Walker
gave orders 20 4 party to 20 in search OF six
deserters, and if they were found 10 shoot then
on the spot. Three Of them were discovered
and shot. Snyder thinks Gen. HeHhingsen a
{ fine mah, and better versed In military mat
tiers than Walker Thinks Walker did the
best he could for his soldiers in regard to food
and clothing. The greatest loss Of Walker was
bis steamers, The carture OF which Snyder at
tributes TO the agency OF Vanderbilt IL IT
were not for the loss Of the steamers, Walker
would be in possession Of the country now
The Commissary Department be blamesfor not
storing more provisions az Rivss. where, during
the siege, the men were compelled to subsist
for some time upon the meat Of Jackasses and
mules. Snyder is ready to join Walker again,
il he returns 10 Nicaragua. He says that the
soldiers experienced no real sufering until after
heir SURRENDER at Rivas. when they were cru
lily treated By the Costa Ricans. he speaks
of the yalor Of A boy about sixteen years or
age, who was ATTACHED to the army, and who,
in battle after being wounded in the head with
a bullet. went about calling upon the wounded
men to follow him. IN the same fight this boy
afterwards received three severe bullet wounds
in bis breast, and two Of the bullets still re-
main in his body. He is now alive and on
board the Roanoke.
ALEXANDER I. S.Anderson belongs TO Brook
lyn, n. Y, and was a captain under Walker,
with whom be served for about fifteen months.
He thinks Walker brave, patriotic, unselfsh,
and not cruel but admitted tbathe could have
fed ana clothed the. soldiers better if be had
tried' Although having a high opinion Of
Walker, be believes Henningsen was the mar
for the army be being 4 better General than
Walker. He says Walker is sanbitious and
fond Of glory : that be had 70 be very severe
in his discipline in order to keep the army to-
getheT, and thinks such severity was justifabls.
says the men had to live on mule meat for
forty days al Rivas, and as SOM Of the mules
were sick when KILLED, the meat was not good,
and eating it caused some Of the men to have
ulcers. Is TeaJy to join Walker again, IF
there's any kind Of a show
Some Of the other soldiers with whom we
eonveIsed speak generally in praise Of Walker,
although some Of the men regard hiu, as not
quite mp the requirements Of a revolutionary
hero"
