NICARAGUA.
From Oar Own Correspondent.

From Oar Own Correspondent
SAN JUAN DEL NORTE, June 49, 1851.
The news from the interior of Nicaragua is not
important, though some anxiety is felt in regard
TO the settlement of affairs between that State and
Costa RIGA. Nicaragua does not seem well
pleased at the refusal of Costa Rica to give up the
possession Of Castillo Viejo and the old fort of
San Carlos, which Costa RIGA positively refuses
to do as she says for her own security against In
yason, until the country becomes entirely set
tied In the mean time active negotiations are
going on between the representatives of both
States, and speedy and amicable settlement may
soon be expected

Virgin at the time of their seizure by the Costa
Ricans, under those two contemplate stigmas

man, by adoption Costa Rican and by nature
very little Of anything worth mentioning. If the
statements made by these four Americans are sus-
cepiible Of proof (and am credibly informed
that the proof is ample), it certainly is time for
the Government of the United States to pay her
compliments to Costa Rca in de-
cisiye manner. The names of the gentle.
men above alluded to are David Mclean, Isaac
Harrington, Matthew l.. Masten and William w.
Wise, the last two Of whom are engineers and well
known 10 some Of our largest steamship owners
They state that they had all been for considerable
time employed by the Transit Company, some OF
them for some four years, when in the month OF De-
cember last they were suddenly made prisoners on
board the steamers running On Lake Nicaragua oy a
large force of Costa Rican troops commanded by
Spencer and Cauty. They immediately announced
Themselves peaceful citizens Of the United States
who were simply following their legitimate occupa-
tons Of steamboat men; but all their endeayors to
obtain their release proved unavailng, and they
were for over four months compelled, like galley
slaves, TO serve their cruel masters receiving from

WHAT is an AGRICULTURAL SHOW

We clip the following item from q late number Of
TIL. Prairie Farmer. We have seen the announce.
meut of ths formation and intended exhibition of this
New agricultural Association" in many other
papers, and perhaps some of the readers OF Thk
TRIBUNE wonder why they have not seen it in our
columns Well here it is as it appeared in the great
organ Of horfe.racng, with note of comment by an
organ Of agriculture:
AGRICULTURAL EXHIBITIONS AT ELMIRA.-A new
Agricultural Association Of which Slas NJ. burroughs

Superintendent, and John Arnot jr, Treasurer, mas
been formed il this State under the title of the Young

commencing on September /, and continuing till Sep

trials Of speed Of celebrated horses, including Flora
ITempIe Lancet Brown Dick, Boston, lib Human
and others There will also be trials and parades Of
fire companies from all parts of the country under the
direction of Chief Engineer Howard OF this CITY.
Thirteen thousand dollars will be offered in premiums,
OF which three thousand will be given to the hrenen
II is into nded to make this display the most attractive
show Of the kind ever given in the country 80

Times. We suppose this is the origin vi tue assertion
made BY a contemporary that we were becoming horse
racing agrculturists We protest against thi. prost.
tutipg names; as this announcement seems to indicate
that agricultural is only an adopted name for
horse racing and fremen's trias."
We also protest against tnis prostitution oi nan'es'
A rose by any other name may smell as sweet, for
aught we know, buS still we prefer to call it rose
SO do we prefer that the farmers ofbs country should
not be swinded by horse races out of their annual
harvest home festivals, which have been established
and gained deserved popularity, under the name OF
Agricultural Shows.

Rr1rRNING FILLIEUsTERs.-The 800 flibusters,

whose arrival at this port have announced else

OPENING OF THE CENTRAL AMERICAN TRANSIT
RouIE.-We IRE Informed that arrangements are be.
ing made for opening the Central American transit
Route, Messrs. Moses H. Grinnell and Simeon Draper
being The leading parties in the undertaking. Agents
90 up on the Panama for this purpose. We also learn
that Commodore Vanderbilt is endeavorng to procure
the privilege on his own account to reopen the Nca
aqua Transit, and has agents in Costa kica ior
that purposes there is likely to be sharp contest IN
the matter. On the return Of the Panama we VIII
doubtless be enabled to give more full and positive In
formation in reference thereto, previous to which time
opinion is, that Costa RIGA will be rather shy OF
entering into amy new contracts which may tend to
bring American emigration TO her shores and that no
new steamship line will be opened across Nicaragua
tor long time to come.
SETTLEMENT OF THE DHFicULTIrs.-A report
reached Panama yesterday by a schooner which ar
rived at Aspnwal from Carthagens, that the Presi-
dent Of the Republic had at length been invested with
full power to settle the claims Of the United States
against New Granada arising out of the LIST of April
massacre. If this be true, it is only what should have
been done long since We shall, no doubt have full
