Killed and Wouaded.
In the New Orleans papers of the 10Th
inst, we have the details of the latest
news from Central America, received by
the steamer Texas, which arrived at New
Orleans on the morning of the 18th. The
general summary of news is as follows:
The troops under Gen. Henningsen,
numbering about 400 men, were besieged
10 days at Granada by a force of about 81
400 Of the enemy. On The 9Th ult., Gen.
Henningsen received reinGorcements of 200
men, and onthe 10Th, succeeded in driving
the enemy from the place, and in removing
TO Rivas, the present capital, all the militia
ry stores and public documents uniniured
The loss of Gen. Henningsen during the
siege was about 200 killed and wounded,
that Of the enemy about 400. The utmost
bravery and enthusiasm were exhibited by
;he mericans during the whole siege, and
70 complete victory against such odds, the
pages Of history do not Oiforl. The city Of
Rivas, the present capital, was taken pos
sessiun of without single shot being fired
the enemy having evacuated at once on
learning the approaclI Of tie American for
ces on the 23d ult. v-.----.
On the 23l utimo, force Of three hum
dred Costa Ricans, under man ramed
Spencer, former employee of the Compa-
ny, cam, down the Sierra Finnas river and
thence to Punta Arenas, took possession Of
the river boats lying there, hoisting the
Costa Ricsn flag, taking all The boats on the
river, till they met the San Carlos, having
IN board the California passengers for New
York and New Orleans, when, on promise
oftaliug them safely to Greytown on one
of tie boats in hisspossession, they accepted
his proposal, and arrived at Greytown the
following day, just as the Texas was heav-
ing in sight.
This man Spencer seeing the Texas, stove
up the benches and all other work of the
boat that could be removed without injury
to her speed, and made all haste 10 get ou'
OF the port. -
A force of men for Gen. Walker, mum.
berlng about 800, well armed and equipped
had arrived at Punta Arenas before the
Texas left, and had quartered on the Point,
waiting for the repairing Of another steamer
which would be completed in about five
days, when they would proceed up the riv-
er and recapture the steamer. and endeavor
to take the traitor Spencer.
Just as the Texas was leaving, q messen-
ger arrived with the news that Gen. Walk
er, fearing, from the delay of the boats that
all was not right, had come over to San Car
los and there learned the true state of af.
fairs, and at once recaptured the fort, and
was making his way down the 'hcer as
speedily as possible, scattering all in his
way.
Tile New Orleans Picayune's correspon-
dent, writing from San George on the 10th
December, gives this concise account OF the
relief Of Henningsen:
On the night Of the 10th Gen. Walker

gin, with about two hundred men--com-
posed Of four companies oil rangers and two
Of infantry-under command of Col. Wat
ers, and on the night of the 18th landed a
bout two miles below the old fort on the
beach. The landing was affected without
any loss, although detachment of the ene-
my's lancers were on the beach, and kept
UP an effective firing. After forming, they
advanced and attacked the first barrioade,
which was strongly defended; but nothing
could Withstand the impetuous charge OF
our. men. The enemy were in few mo
ments driven from it with great slaughter
With the same impetuosity, two other bar
ricades were attacked and carried, and a
junction effected with those in the iortiiica-
tions by daylight, This achievement was
not accomplished without loss, as the enemy
seemed TO fight with desperation; and at the
first barricade many hand to hand encoun-
tiers took place, and many were killed
With Colts SIX shooter, the loss Of the ene'
my was very great, as dead bodies were
strewed all over the road. Our loss 'ca'

last attack. Our loss in the attack upoI
