THURSDAY MORNING, MAY 7, 1857.
GONE

By reference to the interesting item under "Hy'
meneal," it will be seen that our co-editor, SAINT
W. MELTON, has actually left the realms OF single
blessedness. The "Reveries of a Bachelor" mot
TX Marveps,) are all gone like ''school-boy's
tale," and the quiet felicity Of home comes with
its good gifts and noiseless footsteps. The Party
took the cars, Tuesday morning, immedlateiy al-
ter the ceremony, for bridal tour to the Vest
May their journey be prosperous and pleasant
and may an unalloyed honeymoon shed around
them all the lovable, sunshiny, tender blisses OF
mutual love. We hope, Sam, that you will tell us
something about May in Tennessee and Mssissip-
pi-if the flowers are like ours,-whether the peo
ple are warm-hearted and hospitable-and wheth-
er YOUR beautiful bride does not awaken the envy
of the far-famed "Western Editors ?"
Be sure not to 60 to that terrible Memphis'
where the smallpox neither respects the bright
prospects of youth, the sheen on Beauty's cheek,
nor the hallowed ties of love. And remember to
return before the sultry summer sun, steals the
rose-tint from "Mary's" cheek to adorn the rpen'
ing peach-or has the rude frost left no fruit in
its dcsolate march? If you stay away too long
you will miss much pleasant reading and much
pleasant labor in writing editorials. This thought,
if the honeymoon is not too-too happy, will has
ten your return. How will you do without the
Home Journal, these warm, balmy Spring even
ingss And how will you feel when neither the
Courier can reach you with the elegant aud o.
greeabe episodes of NJ. J. W., the 4dcertissr with
the s'ear-mark" of Simpkins, nor our other e1'
changes with their various, interesting medleys OF
fact and fiction? But we forget that we are
talking to o newly married man about the pleas
ures OF single life-how idle! Adieu, Sam! We
will look for an occasional remembrancer.

OF the conspiracy, had not found their way into
the public journals. The political capital of the
reactonists however, is the new Constitution,
which has given so much offence to the hierarchy
After the revolutionary plots of the clergy and
adherents OF Santa Anna the great subject OF ex-

We find few other items Of European news:-
"The demand of Turkey on Persia for the rest-
tuition OF territory, has been referred to Franco
and England. The English Persian treaty has
not been concluded yet. Austrn is negotiating n
treaty with Persia similar to that of the United
States. It is reported that the Circassians have
again defeated the Russians in battle Portugal
is about sending an expedition to Macao, China.

hand, reporting decline Of I'D. during the preyi-

Here is specimen of Southern energy and lib

American railroad enterprise for parallel. 1t
has not been denied that in national affairs, and
in the conduct Of wars, the enterprise and vigor
of the South have never been surpassed, if equal
led, by my other section. Southern men were
prominent in achieving the independence of the
country, in fashoning its constitution and laws,
and in guiding it Ivy n far-sighted and mastery

they lack the sense and energy to develop the re-

is beginning to be devoted to State instead OF fed

upon n Southern which they have produced on
national arena. The South does not need the Of

favorable turn, are benevolently offering their as

NICARAGUA.

The news from Walker is anything but favora-
BILE to the great fillibuster. He is not only de-
feated at all points, but from the last accounts,
was beseiged in Rivas, and it is thought that he
cannot possibly hold out much longer. We give
portion of the dispatch of Gen. Mora, command
ing officer of the besegng army:
"The siege of Rivas is more complete than could
have been hoped with the small force at my dis
posal. The good selection Of the posts, and the
service of my scouting parties, have contributed
much towards the success Of the siege. \ TWEEN;
ty.four FOUNDER that l have planted has done
much damage to the city and disririted the ene-
my. .,f $780,
Day after to morrow at intest, I shall place in
battery at the pert of pucbln, occupied by Gener-
al Xaturch, another gun of equal calibrc, brought
by my orders from The Fort uf Sun Carlos which
will cross its fires with that at my head quarters,
and which will completely d, str"y or dislodge the
fllibusters Walker and his forces are reduced
to feed on mule meat and dogs, seasoned with su-
gar, in default Of salt, and of this they make o
most miserable ration. Those pushed by hunger,
who 60 out to hunt for plaintains, arc driven in
by my troops without their having effected their
object. Every night send in little guerilla par.
ties from each one of my posts, who advance to
the entrenchments Of the Plaza, thus ob!iging tie
flibusters to be constantly on the alert at night,
so that they have no time to rest. This course,
united to the certainty they feel they arc com
pletcly hemmed in, produces dcsertion among
them Of about five each day, to my headquarters.
calculate that triple that number daily take the
road to Costa Rca."
Still later intelligence says that Walker was con-
fined to two houses and was expected to surrender
about the twentieth.

ROGER A PRYOR.

It will be seen from the following sketch, that
Roger 4. Pryor, is still young man. Just i'll
the prime of life, with reputation already csab-
lsLed lie gives promise of life Of usefulness and
honor. His paper is not libel on the South"
1t fills our idea of what a political journal should
be-calm, argumen.ativc patriotic, truly South
crn.
"Roger A. Pryor is native Of Eastern Virgin
ia, and is now twenty eight years old: He grad.
uated at Hampden Sidney College, and for several
years attended the University Of Virginia, where
he studied law. He commenced bis editorial ca
reer in Petersburg, Virginia. as editor of the
South Side Democrat. He afterwards accepted
an invitation to become an editor of the Washing
ton Union, but left that paper in less than one
year, in consequence of the expression OF opinion
in favor of Russia, in the Eastern War, in an art-
Gle which was published in the National lntelli-
gencer. He then purchased an interest in the
Richmond Enquirer, which he edited for three
years, and was in the great contest between Demo-
cracy and know Nothingism in 1855. He was
then sent by Mr.. Pierce on special mission to
Greece, and succeed in settling the difficulty be-
tween that kingdom and the United States He
is now editor and proprietor of o paper in the city
of Richmond, bearing the significant name OF The
South"
