News From Gen walker.

The news from Gen. Walker is disheart-,
ening in the extreme. The reports are from
Costa Rican sources it is true, but there is
reasonable probability of their truth. 1t is
easy to criticise and condemn, and when,any
misfortune occurs there are thousands to tel,
you how it could have been avoided. That
Walker hascommitted mistakes is very prob
able but that he has been scandalously and
villainously treated by those who promised to
support him, is most true. We trust, how
ever, he will escape from his enemies, and vet
live to see the regeneration Of Nicaragua, for
that event is as certain as the progress of
time. The blood Of those martyrs for lib.
erty who have fallen upon the soil of Mica
sigua, wifi bear fruit hundred fold. The
base mongrcls and negroes, wholly the sheer
force OF overwhelming numbers, have crush
cd Caucasian energy and courage, have the
curse OF the Almighty upon them. Neither
British influence nor the supineness of our
own government can avert the eternal de-
cree which has condemned their extinction.
The cause Of Gen. Walker is good one,
but ike the deliyerance of Christianity from
mid9yii abuses, it msy cost the sacrifice Of
thousands Of brave lives and heroic hearts.
indeed, We know not but our own glorious
civilization may be compelled to contend
again With this barbarism, whose represen-
tative is England. At all events, We would
say OF the men who have fallen in Nicaragua,
az Emmett said to his Judges, s:let another
age write their epitaph."

A New Settle men: in Iowo.

The Hartford Times, of Connecticut,
mentions the departure from that State, of
a company of 81 persons, (including several
families) who design to locate in Harrison
county, on the western line of this State.
They are from East Hartford, South Wind
sor and the neighboring towns. They come
under the auspices of HENRY OLNsTEp Esq.,,
who is the purchaser of large tract of
land in Harrison county, to which he is
now removing with his worthy neighbors.
They occupy the township Of Olmsted. Mr..

his friends, preparing for the trip, and has
favored us with several calls. The Times
mentions the fact that Mr.. o. has brought
to this State with him his beautiful horse

Connecticut has lost, the best stock horse
in New England. He Vas offered So 800

improve the breed Of horses in his new loca-
ton, rather than to part with him at that
figure. This horse has been admired by the
best Judges Of good horses during the past
two years; and he has some promising colts
in this vicinity. which will command high
prices. Mr.. Olmsted will also send out six
or eight excellent brood Mares, of good
Morgan blood, among them the beautiful
Hubbard mare, from which he anticipates
such stock in the future as shall command
the admiration Of breeders in the Great

Lates. News from walker.

By this arrival most of the news from
Walker comes through the desert from his
army, but our reporter yesterday saw gem
tleman who never was in his service, and
whose statements are vouched for as entier-
" reliable. This gentleman was Mr.. John
Nredenburgh, late engineer OF the steamer
Ogden, one OF the vessels belonging to the
Transit Company, which was seizedby Spen-
Ger. He left the Island OF Tortugas, Lake
Nicaragua, on the I'D of March, on his way
to Puenta Arenas, on the Pacific. Before
starting, ne heard that Walker was on the
point Of making desperate attempt to leave
the country; At Santa Rosa he saw two
deserters who had escaped from Walkers
camp. They said that Walker had not
more than 200 effective men in Rivas, and
that they were actually starving, being hem

posing force was between 5000 and 1000

Jusi Right.

An incident occurred in the Circuit Court,
in session here, the day before yesterday,
which has won for Judge Keep the highest
praise; and not undeservedly either, we
think, as it shows determination on his
part to punish immortality whenever it's in
his power to do so, and the noble admins
tration of his duty has heightened, il posi-
BILE, that respect and admiration which his
conceded ability has already won tor him.
The case was this: young man was called
to the stand to testify, that the character of
a certain young woman was not what 1t
should be. Judge Keep told him, when he
took the stand, that if he (witness) had ta-
ken part of criminal nature, he would be
held responsible for what he might testify
to-, and at the same time he should not be
compelled to answer questions that would
criminate himself.
Notwithstanding this advice and caution,
the witness took particular pains to tell Of
his own crimipal intercourse with the wO-
man and gave such evidence in an exulting,
Boosting way. When he had finished his
testimony and was about to leave the stand.
Judge Keep requested Sheriff Morris to take
the witness into custody, until he gave bail
in the sum Of two hundred and fifty dollars
for his appearance at the next term Of the
Circuit Court, there to answer an indictment
for the crimesof F'0rnication, an offence to
which he willingly testified he was guilty
Never was boosted crime SO quickly and
justly punished: the witness, now a prison
er, shook with mingled rage and fear, but
il ayailed not; the decree had met with a
response in the heart of every. man in the
room, and shout Of applause went up,
which said SIT is just"
1t is refreshing to see instances of this
kind, and speaks volumes for Judge Keep
as an upright administrator Of the law.-Ra-
cine 1drocate, April 18th.

How to Settle the Utah Difficulty.


The Providence journal has at last ascer-
tanned how the Utah difficulties may be set.
tied. 1t says:
Let a dozen slaves, a few of them pretty
mulatto girls, run away and take refuge
among the Mormons. Mr.. Buchanan would
send the whole army after them, with Gen.
eral Scott at its head. Brigham Young
would naturally refuse to surrender the flu
gitives, especially the feminine part Of then.
He would have especial revelation" in
less than fifteen minutes: A conflict would
ensue, and while the army was employed in
the great constitutional duty Of getting back
the negroes, it would, BY overturning the
power of Brigham Young, incidentally es-
tablish peace and law and order in the Ter
ritory.
To this the Providence Post responds as
follows:
We like this plan very well, but we think
it might be improved. Why not get up an
Emigrant Aid Company establish another
Lawrence in one corner of the Territory;
and Topeka somewhere else--vete Brig
ham Young's Legislature bogus-adopt
constitution at some camp-ineeting or horse:
race, aud then send North for Sharp's rifles!
If polygamy still continued, Mr.. Fremont
might be sent ont at the head Of an army,

male population. In this work Jim Lane
would join him, undoubtedly, and ii is pos

to think he would not 60. Possibly he
might consent to drum up recruits here at
