Twas told tonight on reliable authority
that in correspondence between the At

mer stated that if there were any recruits
for Walker on board the Tennessee on her
next trip, the authorities had instructions
to seize the vessel.
Panama correspondence of the Tribune
says: A gentleman occupying high pc
sition here, has permitted me to read let
ter from the British Consul at Punta
Arenas, in Costa Rica, on the Pacific side.
The latter states that Walker with the

His entire force does not exceed 500 men,
and they are fighting with desperate hope
of being able to get out of the country.
Eleven hundred men had arrived at Rajo,
and were on their march towares Rivas,
and the Nicaraguans under Don Petricio
Rsivas were also on their march to the same
point The main body of the allied troops,
numbering nearly 1000, were also on the
Isthmus.
At Chontales, on the eastern shore of the
Lake, was a force of 1000 men, kept in
reserve, and who could either join Gen.
Mora at San Carlos, or cross the Lake to
the Isthmus, and march upon Rivas if re-
quired.
Atlatest accounts the San Juan river
was in possession of the Costa Ricans, with
every prospect of tlieir being able to repel

wood, basswood, elm, locust, blackberry,
coffee tree and sycamore, are the most
common trees. Chestnut, maple, cedar,
buckeye, paw paw, persimmon and pecan
nut occur. The amount Of timber has been
greatly moderated by superficial Observers;
though not as,abundant as could be wished,
it will meet the'wants of the country, if
properly husbanded. Kansas is better
timbered than northern Illinois and south
ern Wisconsin, and when it is remembered
that the coal will supply fuel, and the hedge
and stone fencing and building material,
no fears need be entertained on account of
the scarcity of timbe-. 1t would be diff
cult to find a point any where more than
miles from wood.
PRODUCTIONS.
The soil and climate of Kansas are ad-
apied TO most of the grains, grasses, and
fruits raised in the north. Winter wheat.
corn, oats, rye, barley, buckwheat, potatoes,
sweet potatoes, and all common garden
products, pumpkins, squashes-melons
have been tried and succeed admirably
Hemp and tobacco may be proftably eul-
tivated, and the new Chinese sugar cane
would probably be at home there.
Among the fruits may be mentioned
apples, pears, peaches, plums, cherries,
strawberries, apricots, grapes and currants.
The choice and tender varieties of these
fruits may be grown successfully. The
grape culture promises to be profitable
branch of business. The drvness of the
atmosphere ripens the fruit and concentrates
its juices 10 the finest flavors.
A fine nutritious grass grows everywhere,
yielding even on the dry pairies two tons
of hay per acre. Clover, timothy, aud red
top grass do well where tried. The win
ters are short, and attended with so little
snow ;haS cattle are kept without fodder
in parts of Kansas. To those who wish to
raise cattle, horses, and sheep for market,
the best inducements are here offered.

A Rich REvELATIoN.-The Democracy
in Indiana have from time to Time sought
to make political capital by furious attacks
upon the banks and banking institutions
in that State. The frauds and failures
which have occurred were loudly denouuc-
ed, but Investigations show that The Gra-
mercy bank, which has recently failed, was
entirely Democratic shaving concern,
owned almost exclusively by prominent
leaders of the Indiana Democracy.
