FROM NIcARAeUA.-The latest advices from
Nicaragua state the remnant Of Walkers
army arrived at San Carlos sick and desti-
tute. Their passage was paid to the United
States by the Costo Ricans.
Nicaragua was tranquil, and would be oc-
cupied by the four Central America States
until a.government shall be firmly establish
ed.
1t is stated that the reason of Davis inter
ference in behalf Of Walker, was a letter in
Walkers handwriting being found on spy
addressed to Mcdonald, the agent of the Nj
caraguan steamers, stating that he was reduc-
ed to extremity, and begging them for the
use of o steamer. or to do something else fol
his relief Upon reading this letter Davis
determined to act.

THE RIVER opposite this city was rising
very rapidly yesterday. The up-river papers
think that the rise will be up to any swell we
have had this season. At Cincinnati, on
Tuesday, it was rising at the rate Of four
inches an hour. The officers of boats which
arrived at Cincinnati Tuesday, state that the
recent flood in the Allegheny had done i'm
mense damage to property on the shores of
that stream, half of which had not been toll.
The rain was so overwhelmingly heavy and
the rise in the river so rapid, that no time
was given to remove the property exposed to
danger on the banks. A more correct esti-
mate of the damage done, will probably be
arrived at in few days. All the tributary
streams are high and rising rapidly.
sSg- For st Louis this morning. The
sOutherner will be here early this morning
for the mound City,"
eB- By the Empress, we received New
Orleans papers of the nth inst. They con-
tain nothing of special interest.
w We are indebted to Messrs. Landrum
and Barclay of the II. d. Newcomb fof New
Orleans papers of Friday, The Newcomb
came up In five days with a splendid trip.
W The Daniel Boone, formerly of the
Cincinnati and Maysvilie trade, has gone
into the st. Louis and Memphis trade per-
manently. Freights from st. Louis to New
Orleans arc quoted at the following low fig
ures. Flour and pork 25@sOc, wheat and
corn l5c, weight freights 15c, weight freishts
15c per 100 lbs.
STEAMBOAT "IrEN."-On the last passage
down of the wenoiia from Pittsburg to Gin
cinnati were two passengers, q young and
beautiful Miss, Of English parcntagc, accom-
panied by her sister, en- route from their
Motherland, to Georgetown, Ohio, to mcc.
their parents, who had preceded them. On
the way down the river, the young lady gave
birth to beautiful, bright-eyed female In
FAINT. The babe was named "Wenona," after
the steamer, said name originally belonging
to an Indian girl of historical celebrity. The
father of the child is said to be in the service
of Her Majesty Queen Victoria.
STEAMERS STAR OF TIE WEST Sunk, AND
DAVID TATUM SNAGGED.-The valuable st.
Louis and Missouri river packet Star Of the
West, bound from st. Louis to st. Joseph,
struck snag seven miles below Lexington,
in the Missouri, and sunk in seven feet water.
The snag penetrated the forward part of the
hull, raking and tearing it in such manner
as to cause her to sink in few moments, and
leaving little hope of her being raised. The
river is rising SO rapidly, that before a sub
marine could be taken alongside, her cabin
would probably be submerged, and her hold
half full of sand and mud. She has large
quantity Of freight aboard, most Of which
was in the hold, and has doubtless been de-
stroyed. This freight was very valuable.
The Star Of the West was valued at about
100000, and is probably well insured in Saint
Louis.
The David Tatum which arrived at 81.
Louis Monday from the Missouri, encountered
a snag on her up trip. The snag ran up
through her larboard guard, forward, carry
ing away about thirty square feet of that,
and also carrying away part of the railing
of the boiler deck
