The pcorle OF this remnant of town have slight
reasons for loving the United States. All OF us

the sight OF the Savannah and jamestown should
painfully remind these poor people OF tbelr sulcr-
ings, when, driven 10 the swamps and forest, they
saw their poor psmthatchcd dwellings SET or hre
by our marines and their household gods wantonly
destroyed They speak mournfuly of the past great
ness of the town as if it was Palmyra or Car
thage, and mutter curses upon our Government
and Mr.. Joseph l.. White, whom they accuse OF
influencing the Cabinet to the act. Nearly every
one here is opposed TO Mr.. Whites Transit Com
psDy. Indeed all are loud aud violent against him
and all bis measures. Utterly dependent for life
upon the opening of the route, they seem willing
to struggle on rather than have "that Company" "
open it. But neither GTeytown, nor the Govern
meDt which has an indefinite existence somewhere
about Managua, can now prevent the White Com
pany from opening the route. Their three steam
crs have arrived here aud are now on their way to
the lake. 1he news yesterday was that the arg
est, the Cass} rTsssri, had more than half passed
the Castillo Rapids. Col. Childs has proceeded up
the river with the steamers.
