crush him to the earth Cards were ex-

LATER FROM NIcARAGUA.-We have further
details of the operations of Walkers troops
on the San Juan river. but the accounts as
usual are conflicting. 1t is said the party at
Serapiqui surrendered to Col. Lockbridge's
command after one days fighting, and that
the flibusters captured large provisions, and
cooking utensils. They then proceeded up
the river and took the station at the mouth of
the San Carlos, after which the Rescue gave
chase up stream to the steamer Charles Nor
gan. Castillo rapids was abandoned by the
Costa Ricans, who set fire to the buildings
and two steamers
The tilibusters succeeded in gaining one of
the latter in a damp state. A small party of
Costa Rioans remained in the port at Castillo
on the 18th ult. but were to be attacked the
next day. A report had come down to Grey
town just before the steamer left for Aspin-
wall, that Castillo was taken and the commu-
nication with the lake was open, but nothing
was said about the port at San Carlos.
letter in the Aspinwall Courier from s an
Juan, Feb. Is, says:
The Costa Rican envoy had been unsuc-
cessful in his attempt to negotiate loan for
the purpose of carrying out the wa- against
Gen. Walker.
