LATER FROM NICARAGlA
Arrival ct nc james Adrrr.

NEW York, Jan. "A.
The steamer James Adger arrived here this
morning.
Walker is reported as in better condition
than ever, having 300 able bodied men with
him at Rivas, well supplied with ammunition
and provisions. Col. Lockridge and his 800
men were still waiting at Printaduas for the
completion Of n steamer TO be ready about
the 18th inst, with which to 90 up the river,
and retake if possible, CASTILLO and San Car
los, and reopen the transit route the Adg-
Ell encountered great fields of ice on her pas
sage home between lat. 81 and long. 81
Passengers from Nicaragua on the James
Adger give u gloomy account of Walkers
condition. The seizure of the transit route
and boats by Spencer is confirmed. Spencer
states that he acted in behalf of Vanderbilt
No injury was offered to the passengers in
the captured boats, but they were escorted
to Greytown, where the steamer was board
ed by an officer from British man Of war,
who ordered the baggage of the men to be
put of Immediately. Spencer kept the Amer
lean flag flying from his steamer, although
he made his captures in the name of Costa
Rica.
President Mara Of the Costa RIGA govern
ment had issued proclamation granting
pardon TO Walkers men and a free passu We
to the I. $. Many of Walkers men both
officers and priyatcs were deserving; they
tell hard stories Of their suffcrings from hun.
ger and sickness Walker was still at Rivas
with six hundred men, another account saws
800.
Spencer states that the Costa Ricans have
800 men posted along the route. They are
also in strong force at Seragut end have guns
posted on both shores.
The report that Gen. Ilennings had fought
his way out of Grenada, is confirmed, as is
also the rumor that Gen. Chiffon with large
body Of men had pronounced for Walker ut
Leon.
Walker, it is said, retook Riyas without
losing single. man. Capt. Saunders with
his rifles had advanced to Leon to occupy
that post.
The foregoing despatch is made up from
the statements from several Nearauguans
who give very conflicting stories.

EDS Cow: | send you here an item, which,
II you should think il proper, may publish in
your paper it is:
now LAGER BEER ORIGINATED.
Many years ago, a shoemaker, in a small
town, near BamberE, Germany, sent his up-
prentice 10 get bottle of Bamberg beer,
(smai beer) which was sold in that place /:
but tie boy. not knowing this, went to the
city Itself: on returning he met an ncquain.
tance Of his. who told him, that when he
would come home his 'boss'' would whp
him for staying out so long. The poor boy
who was frightened at this, thought it better
not TO go home at all, but took his bottle,
buried Il under a tree, aud ran away. He
then went among the soldiers, where he dstin.
gulshed himself, so that, in short, he became
an officer. When one day his regiment was
quartered In this small town, the officer
thought 1t proper TO pay visit to his old
boss, bat not before he had got the bottle of
beer which he had buried some years ago
under the tree. When he entered he said.
We'll, SIR, here bring you your bottle Of
Bamherg beer, that YOU sent me for" The
shoemaker not knowing what this meant, was
told by the officer all about. The bottle was
then opened and the beer WAS found to be Of
superior quality. When this fact was
known some of the brewers built deep vaults
where they put their beer in and called this
after il bad lain there for some time, lager.
which means nothing more than lying. The
ottcer afterwards married the daughter OF
the shoemaker, and drank, rs | am told. a
good deal Of lager beer, receiving in that
occupation the assistance of his father in
law.
