rMpoRrANr FROM NICARAGUA.

The steamship Illinois, just arrived, brings
important news from Nicaragua and later
advices from California.
The Illinois left AspinwaH on the 10Th
January, with eleven hundred and seventy
thousand dollars in specie. The British
mail steamer Thames had arrived at Aspin-
wall from Greytown. She reports that
Walker, with force of five hundred, was
surrounded by the enemy, who had offered
him terms of capitulation, which he would
probably accept.
The Panama Star contains the details of
the seizure of Walkers steamers, but gives
nothing important in addition to what is al
ready known here.
The steamer Thames arrived at Aspin-
wall On the 10Th. fr9m Greytown, which
place she left the day previous. She brought
thirty-fve of Walkers men. who were
transferred to the steamer Granada, which
left Immediately for Greytown, to receive
flibusters brought out by the steamer Texas
and James Adger, and to convey them to
New Orleans. Walker had evacuated
Rivas, and was at St. Georges surrounded
by the allies, who had offered him terms to
surrender, and as he was cut off from sup
plies, it was hourly expected by his follow
ers that he would surrender.
The Aspinwall Courier, of the 10th jan
uary, says that it is reported by the pas
sengers on the Thames, that the steamer
Sierra Nevada had been captured by the
Costa Ricans, and that in consequence the
sloop of war St. Mary's would leave for
San Juan del Sur at once.

MESSAGE FROM Gov. GEARY TO THE
KANSAS LEGIsLATURE.-The st. Louis
Republican publishes an advance copy of
Governor Geary's message. His views on
squatter sovereignty are embodied in the
following words; "When the interests of
the people shall require State government,
and direct popular vote is necessary to
give it sanction and effect, then will be the
proper occasion, once for all, to decide the
grave political question which underlies all
well regulated Commonwealth"
The Governor advises the Legislature to
let slavery alone, where the Constitution
places it; and forego legislation in refer
ence to it, until State Constitution is form
ed T.; recommends that errors and omissions
on the Statute book be corrected denounces
the test oath act, and recommends its re-
peal; dsapproves of the present mode of
collecting jurors, and recommend their cleo
ton by lot; thinks that the adoption of the
ballot plan of voting should be insisted on !;
and suggests the enactment of law requir-
ing residence in the Territory of ten days,
to prevent illegal voting.

North G1roIin0

January Term, 1s57-Meckien6urg Co.,
North Carolina
WHEREAS The Grand Jury having
been actively engaged during this session
of Court, in inquiring into such violations
ofLaw as were presented for their considera-
ton, find that of the numerous presentments
which their duty required them to report,
four ffths were the direct results of an
incorporate use of ardent spirits and they
further find that very large majority Of
these cases are the immediate fruits OF
spirituous liquor procured from liquor ped
lars or persons who sold it by the quart
measure; and being convinced by the testi-
mony elected in their investigations, that
the evils consequent upon the unrestrained
sale of spirits in this manner, through and
in our county, far exceed in enormity the
general public impression. Therefore,
Resolved, That as guardians for the
time of the criminal laws of the State
in our county, we feel it to be our duty to
publish these facts, and to invite similar
| inquiry by the Grand Juries of other coun-
ties. who are alone in possession of the in
formation necessary to determine the ex-
tent of the evil.
Resolved, That we heartily approve OF
the efforts of our Senator in the Legisla-
ture to restrain the evil, by imposing the
Retailers Tax upon all persons who peddle
liquor, and require them to obtain a regular
license for doing so, as retailers are requir-
ed to do.
Resolved That the Editors of the two
papers in Charlotte be requested to give
the above Preamble and Resolutions publ
cation.

THE FUEL FAMINE AT THE WEST
There continues to be great suffering in
many of the western cities on account of
the scarcity of fuel. The Cincinnati Ga
zette relates several distressing cases of
suffering for the want of fuel. We quote:
Zone night last week one of our city of
fcers saw man come out of an alley with
q load of wood on his shoulders. He went
up to him and charged him with stealing it.
The reply was-'I have stolen it." My
children are freezing with cold. have no

family near the intersection of George and
Mound streets, who from Friday last until
Sunday were without fuel and without food.
The consequence of their privation was that
on awaking on Sunday morning they found
their little infant of five months old lying
stretched out dead from priuation and cold"'
Colonel Chambers, in the course of some
remarks at meeting held in Cincinnati
few days ago to devise means of relief,
said that he had visited the council cham
Der IN the morning, where he witnessed the
most sorrowful scenes. There he found
five hundred men, women and children, not
beggars, but people with money in their
hands, seeking an opportunity to purchase
fuel. He had talked with them, and heard
that tables, bedsteads and other furniture
had been consumed to prevent children
from perishing. One woman who had been
waiting for hours for an order for wood
said she could wait no longer. Her child
rem would perish, and she was compelled
to go to their protection. He urged the
