STRUCK BY THE CoMET-The good people down at Indianapolis, Ind, were terribly fright ened on Tuesday evening They believe down there" that the cometis going to knock our little planet "all to smash, and have been greatly exercised about it for some time. With this belief and under this excitement. they were thrown into a state of alarm on Tuesday evening that Is described as ''perfectv awful" oy seeing the moon rise from behind the eastern ms as red as blood, and looking like the great .r .leau or hery dragon. They thought it was the comet-that it was about to strike-tbat the tn end oi all earthly things was at hand, and they set themselves to work, with prayers and tears ana supplcations, to "make their peace ,, ana to oe ready to ''go up." So frightened were ti,ey, says the Lafayette Journal, that the aiarm bells were rung, and the fire enoines brought out and the excitement and confusion tor few moments was indescribabe. The Idea of calling out the engines, under such cir. cumstatces, was worthy Of the genius of Damo Parhngton, who undertook to repel an iuya. Son ot the Atlantic with her mop The an. pearance of the full orb above the horizon soon restored the people to their senses, aud convert eo ther shrieks Of alright and frenzied appeal to heaven into general gutfaw.

Arrival of Walker

The war in Nicaragua is over at las. Dorb, and suspense, with every hope of favorable issue to the enterprise of Walker, died vesterd av with the intelligence of the total abandonment of the country by the Anglo American forces and the arrival, via Havana, of Gen. Walker himself and few of the chief of his officers W hat details we have been enabled to collect of the particulars of this event. the motives and the means taken for abandoning the whole country to Its conquerors are given elsewhere. hey tell disastrous tale of the eXtinguish- ,heht' Tor the present at least, of the high hoPes that were entertained for the subiection oi t"lS most important State of Central Ame- ,ica' anu, through Its means, the whole of the iSChin"s, to Anglo American influences. with the view to the general progress of American otates hereafter, with united counsels. similar or identical institutions, and cordial acts of co- operation, to the realization of a common do.. tiny of expansion, grandeur, prosperity and power. A combination of hostile races has overpowered for the time, the enerqy of tho Anglo-Amercan will, and delivered overt these hue territories to influences decidedly and avowedly hostile It Is a consolation to be, lleve that these hostile influences were never strong enough to succeed by their own unaid- ed efforts
 We have expressed our opinions on this sub Ject often, Tn the progress of the late events. which made it, long since, evident to us that Walker would be unable to maintain himself single handed, against the forces leagued asaInst him. We repeat them with undimin- lshed confidence, but increased regrets. now that the end has come which we feared. that Anglo Amerlcanism has been expelled from the lSthmus States and its exulting enemy placed Tn possession of the ground where it is confessed on all hands that 1t was most impor t'nt that other influences should prevail.
 Of the reception which these gallant men, the survivors of an expedition frustrated by these means, will meet in the city of New Or leans We think there cannot be a doubt. There will not be tongue ungenerous enough to taunt them with defeat of which the shame belonos to thcrs: but to them the admiration which glows in all honest hearts for brave men struo- ging with diversity. They will be received with cordial sympathy for their sufferings. and honor for their gallant bearing.
 Gen. Walker needs no introduction here as distinguished stranger. New Orleans was once hls home, and there are many among us who remember him as the quiet student. ac- complished gentleman, and agreeable compa- mon, beneath whose gentle exterior were to be seen, by those who knew him. the signs of that force of will and intellectual power which have developed themselves So remarkably in his career since. They will be glad to take him by the hand, to recognize in him the heroic qualities winch have interested them and ex- atted hlm, and to express the prevailing faith, that the Star of his destiny, though dimmed Tor season, will yet shine out with renewed lu5tre.-N Q.

Predictions for the Year 1857

The following predictions were made at the oeSnnlnS of the year, and although several mont have passed away since then many of them, If they have mot already been fulfilled, will certainly vet come to pass:
 Through the whole coarse of the comino year, Whenever the moon waues the ui,,ht will grow dark.
 On several occasions, during the year, the sun will rise before certain people discover it. and set before they have finished their days work.
 It is quite likely, that when there is no busi- ness dong, macy wlil be heard to complain of hard times, put It IS equally certain that all who hang themselves will escape starvation.
 II hoops go out uf fashion, church pew will hold more than three ladies.
 Ii dahdicS wear their boards, there will be less w"rE Tor the barbciS, and he who wear, nous tacheS, wIIl have something to sueeze at.
 Heie W'II Oo many cctpseo of virtue, some V.Sjbie. others invisible.
 hosoeVer is in love, will think his mistress arerlect angel, and will only find out the truth ol hlS SuspIcou uy Settu. married
 Many dehcate ladIes whom no one would suspect, Will be kissed without telling their mas.
 lcre will be more books published than will fud payers.
 Ii the incumbent of fat office should die. there wlli be dozen feet ready to step into one pair of shosp
 If a young lady should happen to blusj, she VIII oc apt to look red ln the face, without the use of paint; if she dreams of young man three nights m succession, it will be a sign of something; f she dreams of him four tunes, q ha tnAth oohn it .tl be long time in getting either of them out of her head
 Many people will drink more strong liquor than will be necessary to keep them sober and will take more medicine than will be requisite to the enjoyment of good health.
 Dinners and entertainments will be given to those who have a plenty at home, and the poor will receive much advice gratis, legal and medical excepted.
 He who marries this year will run a great risk, especially if he does it in a hurry.
 lie who steals a watch, gives tattlers occasion to gossip, and will be apt to involve himself and pride In diSagreeable relations
 There will be great noise all over the coun- try when 1t thunders and a tremendous dust Will be kicked up occasionally by coach horses
 Many young ladies' who hope for it, but lit tie expect 1t, will be married; and many who confidently anticipate that goriuos consumna- ton, will be doomed to wait another year.
 Finally, there exists little doubt that this will be most wonderful" year, surpassins in in- terest all that have preceded it. Politicians will make Tools of others; and many women with pretty faces will make fools of both.
 The world will go round as usual and come back to the same place whence it set out, as will many d man who engages in business
