The Great Swindle.

We heard yesterday some further par
ticulars of the gang who have been de-
trauding Western Banks and Bankers,
during the last fortnight, by selling ex-
change on New York Gilman, who
operated 10 the extent of S 200 i'll this
city, stopped long enough at Chicago,
on his way hither, to victimize some par
ties there, to the amount of 10000
Returning hence to Chicago, he there
encountered one of the True's, who had
made q raise Of $4,000 in that city,
The pair then star ed for ST. Louis,
where they managed to get $4,000,
making eighty-sic thousand d, liars, in
all, that they obtained in the three cities
Of St. Louis, Chicago and Milwaukee.
Having thus filled their purses these
worthless started from St. Louis, on Sun
day week, on the steamer White Cloud,
and on Tuesday last-a week to-day
wereat Cairo. As ,,Deruy Usher ffBeck cur
Chief Of Police, is on their track and
three other good officers are watching
for them at different points-communi-
eating constantly by telegraph with each
other and with Sheriff Page, who directs
their movements--we have strong hopes
that therogues will be caught and brought
to justice. We understand that c. f.

hauled in Detroit, is now in Jail at Clcve-

character of her now and her future in
habitants. This population will be the
cream fthe whole country North, East,
South, West; though numerically the
northern emigration will be much the
largest. The 10000 souls of Kansas
are noble people. Schooled as they
have been in tribulation they are quail
tied for rational enjoyment of their glo-
rious future. / do not desire now to
allude to the political aspects of the ter
rltory but may be permitted to say that
Kansas will yet be free state by the
free and unbiased action of her people.
and that her present most admirable ex-
ecutiv,e Gov. Geary is pledged to do his
utmost to secure to her. bona fide inhabi-
tants full and fair expression of their
wishes as regards the vexed question of
slavery. If this be done the results no
longer doubtful. Let no man who pro-
poses to desert the rigors of Wisconsin
for the sunny land of Kansas be deferred
one moment by his apprehensions, but
go boldly and aid in fixing her politica!
destiny the right way.
For the benefit of such as propose to
settle or invest their money in the towns
of Kansas it will be proper for me to
mention several of the points which
promise most favorably. The two prin-
cipal places on the Missouri River are
Leavenworth directly below Fort Leav-
enworth and Wyandotte at the junction
Of the Kansas with the Missouri River
in the interior are Lawrence and Tope-
ka upon the Kansas River; and Ncosho
City which promises to be the chief
town of Southern Kansas, and Hiawatha
in the extreme north. To any citizen OF
Wisconsin who may read this letter /
would say If you desire to improve
your pecuniary circumstances without
abating a jot of your other interests-go
to the land ofpromise. Remember that
Kansas and Nebraska are the last of our
domains on this side of the Rocky
Mountains. He who secures a quarter
section of their rich lands must make
haste. The flood tide of settlers ismov-
ing with the dissolvingice and will quick
" reach and overflow them.

A Channel through st. Clair Flats.

The subioined note from General
CAss, which appears in the Detroit Free
Press, conveys highly interesting intel
ligence:
WASHINGTON, Feb. -, 1857.
DEAR STE:-An arrangement is about
to be made that will insure the opening
of a channel over the St. Clair Flats, in
the course of the coming season. A
proposition has been made to the War
Department to excavate channel $50
feet broad, and g feet deep, upon the
following conditions:
The work to be done Immediately; 80
cents per cubic yard for the removal of
the obstruction.
The contractors to be allowed the use
of the United States dredge boat, now
at Detroit, but to furnish at their own
expense, two other dredge boats, tugs,
DC.
The operation to be superintendent by
an officer of the United States.
If the quantity of earth excavated
does not amount, ut so cents per yard,
to the appropriation, then the contrac-
tors to receive from the United States,
pay at that rate. Ifi: should exceed it,
as it will do, then the United States are
responsible only for the sum appropria-
ted, and the contractors 20 depend upon
the means they can raise from individu-
ais and corporations for the completion
of the work. No payment to be made
by the United States until the channel
is finished.
The Senators and Representative in
Congress from the States interested in
this work have addressed letter to the
Secretary of War, recommending the
formation of such a contract.
The Secretary Of w r has considered
the matter, and has come to the conclu-
sion that this plan of operation is the
best that can be adopted, and the prop
er notice inviting proposals upon this
basis will be immediately published
The sum however, applicable to the pur-
pose, is $4,000 instead of s45, 900, as
the balance ofthe appropriation, So, 900.
will be needed to meet contingent OK
penSes.

Another Account Of Walker.
PANAMA, Feb, Z,

.... ANAMA, leu. -
Correspondence of Tribune -
A gentleman occupying high posi-
ton here, has permitted me to read a let
ter from the British Council a. Punta
Arenas, i'll COSTA Rica, on the Pacific
side. That letter states that Walker
with the romnant ofhis forces, is hemmed
in on all sides by the Allied and Costa
Rican forces, without clothing and pro-
visions, and demoralized by disease and
starvation. His entire force does not
exceed 500 men, and they are fighting
with desperate hope of being able to
get out of the country. r
l,100 men had arrived at Reaiejo, and
were on their march to the same point.
The main body OF the allied troops,
numbering nearly 1900, were also on
the Isthmus, at Chantales. On the
eastern sho res of the lake was force OF
l 900 me II, kept in reserve, and who
could eth er join Gen. Mora at San Carlos,
or cross the lake to the Isthmus and
march upon Rivas, if required and at
latest accounts the San Juan river was
in possession of the Costa Ricans, with
every prospect of their being able to re-
pei any..force of fillibusters which might
arrive from the United States.

Arrival of the Steamship Tennessee


new 1 Ork, Feb. 81.
The Steamship Tennessee arrived here
this evening from Aspinwall, via Sar
Juan and Key West, with three hundred
and fifty passengers, and $50, 900 ins specie
She left Aspinwall on theeye of the 18th
The English ship Meteor, from Mobile
for Liverpool, had put into San Juan
ieaky. The Tennessee left before the
Texas, which had arrived at New Or
leans, and also before the result of Col
Lockrldge,s expedition was known
Col. Titus, with his recruits, went up the
river with Lockridge, and took up pos.
ltlon opposite the enemy at Serapique.
Col. Lockridge has made all his arrange
ments, and the attack was to be made on
the day the Tennessee left.
Lockrldge's force was estimated to
have been $50, that of the Costa Ricans
800. The affairs near Rivas and at St.
George, between Henuingsen's command
and the Costa Ricans, differs from that
brought by the Texas. In the fight near
kivas Capt Kinney was killed, and the
American suffered other losses, but i,
does not appear which party was victori-
GUS. HennlngSen's attack on St George
was made with 400 men; the enemy
having, as is stated, 500 After sever.
al hours fighting, Henningsen retired, as
is stated, with inconsiderable loss, ex-
cepting that several of his officers were
MORALLY wounded, including Col. JAG
ques and Maj. Dusenberg
The Costa Ricans' loss was supposed
to be great. Gen. Bosquet was Killed.
At last advices the Nicaraguans had
withdrawn from the allies, and were in
the vicinity OF Granada waiting the ar
'ival of ammunition from Greytown.
At last accounts from Walker, Feb 3,
he was at San Juan del Sur, with 200
men.
