The RIGHT Position The position assumed
by Hon. Delano T. Smith, of Hennepin County,
on the removal question, is one which places him
fairly and honorably before his constituents
"Leave the removal of the Capital to the people,"
says Mr.. Smith, "and let this action be immedi-
ately after the formation of a State Constitu-
tion.' Had other Republican members assumed
the same position in the early stages of the ses-
sion, the Republican party would not be weaken
ed and distracted as it is now. Time will demon
trate whether we are correct or mistaken in this
view.

WThe mails from the East have arrived with
great uniformity for few weeks-as regularly
as clock-work. We are in doubt whether to re-
being out of gear, or to the smashing up of the
Dubuque Post Office last month, by which few
tons of buried mail, en- route to this city and
territory were exhumed and introduced to day
light. Never mind the why; suffice it that now,
thanks to Uncle Samuel, We can communicate
with the United States.

The account of the affair near Rivas and St.
Geor &c, between Henningsen and the commander
of the Costa Ricans differs from that brought BY
the Texas.
In the fight near Rivas Capt. Kinney was kill
ed and the Americans suffered other losses, but il
does not appear which party had gained the vic.
tory.
Henningsen's attack on St. George was made
with 400 men, the enemy having as it stated 1900
After several hours fighting, Hennineen retired,
with inoonsiderable loss, except that some of his
officers were mortally wounded, including Col
Jacque and Maj. Duzenberry. The Costa Ricans'
loss is supposed to be great. General Bosquet
was killed.
At last accounts from Walker, Feb. Sd, he
was at San Juan del Sur with three hundred men.
He had established bis head quarters at Rivas,
and was concentrating all his force, amounting
to 800 men, at that place.
