Capitulntioa Of Walker.

The information received with che
announcement Of Walkers arrival at
New Orleans, that he had ''capitulateGi
with all the force under his command
to Commander Davis Of the United
States sloop of was St. Marys," was
something that many, like ourselves
could not properly comprehend. The
United States Government had in nc
way been a party to the revolution in
Central America. and hence the diff:
Guilty Of concoiving how an American
vessel should become the ali Of the
Costa 'Ricans in reducing Walker and
his followers to terms OF capituiation
and the evacuation Of Rivus. This
mystery is partially explained by a
paper which we publish in another
column, drawn up by Gen. HennDg
son, who negotiated the capitulation
with Capt. Davis OF the st. Marys
from which its terms may be gathered
as well as the circumstances under
which 1t was made.
Gen. Henningson's statement is very
plain and simple. and carries with il
every evidence ofcandor and fairness
We trust, however. for the credit Of
our Government, that there is mistake
somewhere as TO the authority claimed
and exercised by Commander Davis IN
hig official capncitr.

EEarnaOniam Club.

This Club will perform three or four
PLAYS, at the Court House, on Friday
night next. When last they perform
ed they labored under many Difficult
ties that can now, to considerable
extent, be obviatcd. Before, they had
no seen ry at aIl-now, they have a
beautiful lot, the original painting of
which cost between four and FIVE hun
dred dollars,
The object Of these young men in
organizing this society has been be-
fore stated. and we hope is known
and appreciated BY all III cur midst.
1t is solely for their own amusement
and improvement, and for the enter
tainent Of our citizens, and not TO
nuke money. They have been at con-
siderable trouble, besides expense, in
order to produce plays worthy and III
tercsting, and certainly no one will
fail to visit them on account Of the
small admission fee which they are
forced to charge, in order to defray
their expenses; and We predict that
any one WHO goes to see them on next
Friday night, will at once recognize
the justice and propriety Of their
charging for admission. Let there
be a crowded house Of our citizens
and their families.

TUE LGNGTH or HUMAN LIFE.---There
are two things we chiefly wish for
while we remain in this world--heaIth
to make life enjoyable; and length
To obtain both depends mainly upon
ourselves.
We DO not simply die, we usually
kill ourselves. Our habits, gu, pass
ions. our anXieties Of bo1y and min!
these shorten our lives, and prevent
US from reaching the natural limit Vi
human existence.
The key to health and to long life i
sobricty Of living. It's the fashion OF
the present dtyto restrict the term 50
briefly to moderation in the use of IN
toxicatiag liquors. Misery and crime
and death we trace readily to the neg
iect oftL;s species Of so5riety. We d.
not hesitate 10 say Of d?unkard that
he has killed hlInsalf, but we rarely
speak of over eating as II serious or
frequent shortener OF life. Yet the
food they eat causes 10 mankind al
large more sleepless nights, more IN.
happy days, and more shortening OF
life, than all the liquors they consume.
"Oh! miserable unhappy Italy,
wrote Cornaro, three centuries ago
'.dost thou not see that gluttony is kill.
ing every year more people than would
perish in season of most severe pes
thence, or blythe fire and sword oil
many battles!"
A sober life implies moderation in
all things. ut consists says Cornaro
sin moderate eating, in moderate
drinking, and in a moderate enjoy
ment of all the pleasures of life. In
keeping the mind moderately but con
stantly employed, in cultivating the
affections moderately, in avoiding ex.
tremes Of heat and cold, and in shun'
ming excessive excitement either o!
body or OF mind"
