Capt Davis gives straight forward and business
like account of his operations connected with tho
escape of Walker and his remnant of Fillibusters
from Nicaragua. Aware that LOckridge and his
brother Fibustcrs on the Atlantic side had utterly
failed in their efforts to reopen their cOmmunica-
tioht with their chief, and had finally and utterly
ahar doned the attempt as hopeless-in fact know
ING that Walker himself must be assured of this by
Titus, who had himself headed the San Juan Fill
busters in their successful attempt to outrun the
Costa Ricans after his inglorlOus failure before
one Of the forts on the riyer-aware that Walker &
effective force was reduced below three hundred,
while he had furnishing horses and mules left sufi
Gent to subsist even this small band but few days
lopger-Dayis knew that Walker and all his party
must inevitably surrender or be cut to pieces within
the next fortnight. General Mora, having the
game SO completely in his own hands, was of
course wise enough not to sacrifice his men
in attacks on fortified position which
must inevitably be abandoned very soon, when his
adyersarieS had no post no reserves, no resources
outside Of that position. Every attempt of Walker
to open communications in any direction had re-
suited il the dimnution of both his means and the
narrow area still under his control. Capt. Davis
who was familiar with these facts, and knew the
sire myth of either force, was confident that Walker
could not, even in last desperate sally make his
way five miles from Risas before his whole COM
mand would be arnihated. Such were the cir
cumstances under which Capt. Davis negotiated
the safe escape of Walker and all who could
follow him from Nicaragua, and brought them
away unframed; and it is after an escape
so favored, and so much better than he had right
to hope for-for no well-managed company would
IA month since have insured his life forty days at
fifty per cent-that Walker rails at Davis as if the
cause Of his overthrow and pours his griefs and
wrath into the ears of indignant Flllibusterism
throughout the Union We think Davis has done
"a bad deed but William Walker is the last man
alive who should reproach him for it.

The suit Of Mr. A. Smith against Andrew j..
Conselyea for the seduction of Eliza P. Smith,
daughter of the plaintiff was yesterday concluded
at Brooklyn by verdict Of Ten Thousand Dollars
(the full amount caimed) for the plaintiff. The
general accord of those who listened to the trial
procaims this a righteous and sautary verdict, aud
bestoWs high commentator on the argument Of
Chauncey Shafier, which did much to secure it,
TIE defendant had aggravated the baseness Of his
original crime by bringing forward a crOny named
OMeara (married) to swear away the good name
of his victim-a device whereby the verdict was
doubles. doubled ., was just Half dozen such
yerdcts in rapid succession would be likely to exert
some wholesome restraint on the villains who win
the affection of young and credulous girls only to
work their ruin. And though it were much
preferable that the punishment of the seduccr
should take different shape from this it can
hardly be doubted that this is far better than per-
feet IMMUNITY to the acts of the libertine. Judge
Culver ably presided at the trial.

1.-The Independent Press is a designation as.
sumed by class of journals, as Distinguishing them
from others which, cheIishng convictions not
lightly adopted, are not likely lightly to discard
them, aud which, being able to give efficacy
to those convictions only through cooperation
with others, are thus impeIed to act with and
through some enc Of the organized parties of the
day, and hence are invidiously characterized a.

onism an accurate or happy one. We are con-
fdent that greater and more uniform freedom
of utteIance is accorded to the writers for

the chances Of usefulness are greater where one
speaks out his convictions, with the assurance of
sympathy from most and tolerance from all his
leaders, than where be is constantly balancing be-
tween coniending parties. as if walking tight

We print herewith a letter on the freshest as
poets Of the Spirtuaistic controversy as 1t now
RACES in and around Boston, and will beg the read
er. for the sake Of our correspondent "Byles, to
remember that he is not the writer, being on
the other side of the main question.
1t strikes us that the offer Of $500 by Prof.
FELTON, for demonstration Of the alleged power OF
the spirits to move tables, play musical instru-
ments, &c, independent of carnal or obvious
physical agency is remarkably fair one and that
the Spritualists must lose ground if they fail to
meet it triumphantly. 1t may be very true IS
C. urges, that the designated judges are stub
borny prejudiced against the Spiritual hypothesis
it may be that they would not be persuaded
though one rose from the dead-lt may be that
their stubborn .kepticism, or some of the conditions
which will be- exaeted on the skeptica side, will
obstruct the so-called manifestations; but if Prof
AQassz and his associates are not forced TO admit
that tables, &c, are moved by some power un-
known to their philosophy, then the star of SPir-
itualism will grow dim in and around the City Of
Notions.
Our correspondents letter will interest skeptic'
as well as Spirtualists but will certainly not con-
vert the former.
