Gen. Walker and Nicnranua.

s We publish stirring news in another column fom Nicaragua. Two more battles have been fusht, in both of which Walkers forces have been sgnally victorious; and the clouds and darkness that seemed fast gathering about the tHaues of that extraordinary man, are partially Dissolved at last, and leave his star vet stead Easily gleaming above the horizon of Ncara- gna.
 1 The steamship Texas, which arrived at New York yesterday, brings news from kivas to the l8,h, by which 1t appears that Walker and Hen nugsen had hrst separately and afterwards pnIy been victorious over the allies, intiictmg 9 probable loss upon them of not less than 8UO. ] his victory Is one of the most extraordinary ever recorded, when 1t Is remembered that Walkers whole effective force in the field could lot have exceeded 800, while the allies numbered not less than 5000. It is not un- Ikeiy, aS the report states, that if not complete E decisive of the war, 1t has put the enemy ErouSIy in mind of peace. It must have the eiiect, at all events, of 50 ciippiug and demor- alzug the allies, that Walkers position will b secured beyond all hazard for an indefinite perud; it must have the effect ot bringing back ~ h.s support the timid and tleacherous natives, sho, with the natural instinct of weakness, fi!l ever go with the strongest side; and it must baye the effect of reassurng the confidence and Iting up the dropping spirits of many friends ho were beginning to despond, and to charge the antcipatory sheer on the faces of his eue- nes into the pallor of disappointment and ehaLrin.
 Yet the skies are not entirely cleared up over Nicaragua. Walkers force at Rvas cannot now much exceed 700 effective men; the enemy may or may not sue for peace; the alliance may or nay not be dissolved in consequence ol the signal dscomhture; Costa Rica may or may not effect transfer of the transit to Great Britain, c nd- toued ponthe atters defending it. and the ill., tgrty of Costa Rcan territory, against the "hibuseros;" Col. Lockridge, with his 400 nen, may or may not, after the late failure at laSullo, on account of the ignominious miscou-
 dpct of Titus, reconquer the San J uan River
 ad Lake Nicaragua; all these are problems tatalmit of solutions more or less fortunate or
 uliavorable, and We must patiently, though
 hpeiuily, await acknowledgements and even
 halltes.-N C. Deltd.

From the Washington Union. Letter from Hon. R. J. Walker.
WASHINGTON, March 26. 1857


 MY DEAR SIR:-I have at your request, re- considered my determination, as announced to you, declining your tender of the office of Co., werner of the Territory of Kansas In view of the opinion now presented by you, that the safe ty ofthe Union may depend upon the selection of the individual to whom shall be assigned the task of settling the difficulties which again sur round the Kansas question, 1 have concluded that solemn sense of duty to my country re- quires me to accept this position. lam brought to this conclusion with an unaffected diffidence in my own ability, but with fervent hope that the same overruling Providence which has car rIed my beloved country through so many perils will now attend and direct my humble efforts for her welfare, and that my course will hot be prejudged by any portion of my fellow citizens, in or out of Kansas.
 1 understand that you, and all your Cabinet. cordially concur in the opinion expressed by me, that the actual, bona file residents of the Territory of Kansas, by fair and regular vote, unaffected by fraud or violence, must be per mitted, in adopting their State Constitution, to decide for themselves what shall be their social institutions. This is the great fundamental principle of the act of Congress organizing that Territory, affirmed by the Supreme Court of the United States, and is in accordance with the views uniformly expressed by me throughout my public career contemplate a peaceful settlement of this question by an appeal to the intelligence an patriotism of the whole people of Kansas, who should all participate, freely and fully, in this decision, and by majority of whose votes the determination must de made, as the only proper and constitutional model of adjustment.
 l contemplate no appeal to military power Tn the hope that my countrymen of Kansas from every section, will submit to decision of this matter by full and fair vote of majority of the people of that territory. If this decision cannot thus be made, see nothing in the future for kausas but civil war, extending its baleful influence throughout the country, and subject ing the Union itself to imminent hazard will go, then, and endeavor thus to adjust these difficulties, in the full confidence so strong " expressed by you, that will be sustained by all your own high authority, with the cordial co-operation of all your cabinet.
 As it will be impossible for me to leave for Kansas before the second Monday of May next, l would desire my appointment to take effect from that date.
 Very respectfully, your friend, R. J. WALKER

X WORD TO THE WISE,

It is the only remedy that will remove all imruri- tics from the Blood. It being Tonic it will at the same time Strengthen and Invigorate the system.
 Thousands in St. Louis have used it. and the uni versal expression that it fails in curing any complaint arising from a dsordercd state of the Liver, Stomach or Bowels few doses win cure Diarrhoea Dyscntery.
 As Diuretic, it will cure any disease of the Kid neys, Uterus, or Bladder; as an Alterative it will purify the blood and remove all Yellowncss, Pimpes Sores from the skin.
 It is sure preventive for Yellow Fever, Chills or Ague and Fever, and Cholera. There is no mistake about it. We can refer to hundreds of Steamboat men and others, to prove that fact.
 McLEAN's STRENGTHENING CORDIAL does not re- quire certificates to bring it into notice one dose is sufficient to convince the most skepcal of its won deriul invigoratng effects. Call and try it. It is very pleasant to take.
