WHAT ONE OF WALKERS OFFICERS THINKS OF HIM
AND HIS CAUSE.
To the Editor OF the Richmond Examinerl
The friends General Walker aud of the cause OF
generation Central America await with unfeigned anxiety
the next news from that country Though the reachey
of few the neciency of and the bribery and de-
seron Of others, have caused him Tor while 10 leave
his government and adopted couaty yet his appearance
IN the United states has much enconr aged his friends and
supporters and the present expedition, which sailed
two weeks ago. perhaps better armed and provsoned
than any similar that left this country. His
not abond characters gathered from the pueus
OF New York Now Orleans and other large cites but are
picked from the mountain districts of Georgia South Caro-
Lima Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas--men
whom no aurement Of gold or love OF wild adventure or
and Injuries Of their homes for the tolls and prvaons OF
soldiers he; but whom an ardent sympathy with Weker
and his cause and glorious hope for the redemption
OF the most beautiful OF lands frcm the curse and thral
dom Of idiotc and degenerate race, have led them
from their domestic retirement TO don the knapsack and
have been selected for their SKILL efficiency and expe
perence. Some there who have earned no little re-
nown on many we'll fought field Some who have toll
lowed Hayes, and Walker and McCulloch to victory
again and Some who have gone TO add laurcs
TO the wreaths Buena Vista and Cerro Gordo, at
Chepuliepec and Monterey; some who have figured
In the late European and to whom Sebastopo and
Baakava, and Peisser, and Raglan as household
words. And why have they gomez Not to devastate
10 plumber but they have gene with stout hearts and
down the barriers which despotc anarchy has sought
TO raise in the pathway OF progress enterprise and en-
hghtenmcnt to aside the veil which idolatrous
superstition has thrown around the arest of Gods works
and upon the ruins OF mpoen repubicanism and pseudo
royalty to rear government which, in the strength OF its
foundations in the wisdom of its institutions, and the
beauty and harmony OF its workings, shall rival that of
own favored land.
The lover of Nature in all its beauty sublmity and
grandeur will find favored spot than caragua
And the glorious of tropical scenery will burst
upon the delighted behoder like of enchantmen
One eternal summer reigns Stately forests clad in ever
living green in their solemn grandeur deride the praises
Of tho observer with flowers OF the richest coors and
and eodeous notes render the surrounding forests vocal
with their music streams cool and refreshing as from
the heights of the Aeghanes burst from their
homes and meander away 10 the Here under the
genial influence OF tropical sun basks wilderness gar

OF political demagogues and designing Jesus The fruits
afording them living, they drag in ethargic state
from day 10 day without regret for the past hope
for the future and neither the fear of punishment the
hope Of reward scarcely induce them work
And what glorious prospect does this country open for
the South when Walker and his followers shall have
ceeded in Americanizng III Here, slave labor be
probably employed in portion of the world Here,
when Northern aggression and Southern acquesence shall
have driven the STAKEHOLDER to the last of the

open wide her 10 receive him. And this is but the
commencement of his work. Looking still further the
future what splendid prospect rises before The
South American States rich in their mineral wealth, rich
IN soil rich in climate, and rich in all that make earth
ly eysum-wll be Americanized too; and the sensual
Mahomed never promised to the true believer
blssful heaven than that country, under proper
agement And then Cuba and the far West Indian
Isles, pning in lonely grandeur for some friend
cenoe and glory, under the magic impulse of American
enterprise shall start up into such scenes Of beauty and
spendor, Of wealth and magnihcence, shall rival the
tabled Eysium Of the ancients
With these splend results, then attendant upon his
present success, with what intense anxiety must the
friends Of Walker and Of his the

there should be The gray eyed man Of destiny"
gune OF the final consummaon of his purpose and the
fulhment Of his destiny, goes on from battle to battle
from victory TO victory, with calm confidence which
knows no falterng no hesanoy, dependency. No
victory elaes-no defeat depresses him With the amb-
ton OF Bonapare, the courage Of Cesar, the sagacy

during fatigue without murnur and undergoing hard
ships that thrill the very soul With mingled horror and
sympathy he only left his adopted country when

He has returned again under most favorable circum-
stances to assert his rights and, necessary to die in
Their defence And the gallant hero OF twenty seven
battles will succeed he will succeed spite OF the
restrained influence and covert hostility OF the English
