dcate that Col Titus had deserted to the Costa Ri
cans and with them made two assaults upon the

are as follows:
Walkers position was unchanged.-He had re-
pulsed two attacks Of the enemy. tut had himself
been twice repulssd in attacks upon the enemy at
San George Col Lockridge had been defeated at
Castillo, owing TO the cOWardice Of Col Titus, who
had deserted to Rivas. Thirty deserters from Wal
ker had arrived at Aspinwall.
We iufer from this aud the despatch TO the Nash
vile pres., that Titus has left Lockridge and gone
TO Join Walker at Rivas.

Our eye has just CHANGED to fall on an article in
recent number of the Courier in which great desire
is expressed by our contemporary to hear speech
from very active and intelligent candidate for
Congressional honors in the Second District the Hon.
Glendy Burke.
This solicitude is somewhat premature We make
doubt that before the campaign is over our Demo
cratic friends will have speeches enough from Mr..
Burke, and more than they will find themselves able
to answer.

why we have had no speeches from Mr.. Taylor? We

tive. We know nothing that would better advance
our cause, than for him to spread himself on the
stump. The people will not rest content with his
silence let it be solemn. In his only speech

tics and bad rhetorche thinned the house. and then
regretted there few of the members present.
and like school boy, he complained most piteously
that he unfortunate in all his attempts to get

+ The SOUTHERN DEAOCRAcY.--We are glad to learn
from our exchanges, says the Columbia Is. c. Times,
of the 9th ult., that the Democratic nominees for
Congress in Georgia and Alabama are to a man
opposed to Walkers policy in Kansas, and to all
those, who in high or low places may seek to pali-
ate his conduct. H V
The statement Of the Columbia Times--which has
ever been a rigid State Rights Democratic journal
in regard to the patriotic attitude assumed by the
Democratic candidates for Congress in the States
named, is significant commentary upon the mum
attitude Of the Democratic candidates for Congress in
Louisiana Time and again have they been asked
whether they are for the South and against all her
enemies, whether ct high Or low degree and yet they
preserve a most ominous silenoel
