to breadth Of about go, consequently has an
area of about s., 900 square miles, which isAbout
the size of the State of Illinois. One-tenth part
Of the whole surface Of the State Is covered By
the Lake Of Nicaragua, which Is ITO miles long
with On average breadth of 20 miles, and lies in
the southwestern part Of the State, ten or twelve
miles from the Pacific Coast This lake receives
great many small streams Of water, and dis
charges them again through the river Of St. Ju-
an pronounced San Wan,) which, running from
the southwestern end Of the lake, aftera course
Of about 100 miles empties into the Caribbean
Sea, at Punta Arenas, in the southeast corner
Of the State. Il was at this point Walker land
ed with $50 of his military followers on the 18th
day Of December last. The river Is deep, but
narrow and crooked, and is navigable FOR small
steam vessels from its mouth to the lake. Mic
aragua is bounded on the south by Costa Rica,
the most southern of the States Of Central
America; on the north by the State Of Hondu-
ras-cast by the Caribbean Sea-and west By
the Pacific Ocean. Il has about 300 miles Of
coast on either Ocean. Il was on the south-wes-
tern side of the lake, and in the vicinity Of RI
vas and Grenada, that most Of Walkers militia
~ exploits we're performed. r
Nicaragua has a population of 250,O0e in all,
counting the remnants Of the aboriginal tribes,
halfbreeds and Spanish; Of the last there are
but few, but they are in fact the strength Of the
State, being mostly priests and officers Of gov
eminent and owners Of the soil and masters Of
the native population. No where, perhaps, on
the continent of America has the original por-
ulation reached so great depth Of human deg
radiation as in the Central American States
With no prospect but extinction, or the most
abject slavery before them, they are indOlent,
vicious. fathless, and filthy to the last degree,
subsisting on the spontaneous bounties Of nature,
and, when this resource fails, on any description
Of Offal or garbage that presents itself 70 their
deprayed palates. The climate Ia warm, and
they require but little clothing, and this little is
50 filthy as to render the sight Of them unbear-
ably loathsome. Whether Walkers success
would improve their moral or physical condition
is fair subject for speculatiOn.-LOEisvills

An ISEERNAL MAcmSE--The Montgomery
(Alabama) Mail, having previously given some
account Of an internal machine recently invent
ed by a gentleman Of Alabama, says: 1--WE
saw It at The Fair Grounds yesterday. THERE'S
no doubt but that It can be adopted az an instru-
ment for immense destruction Of human life In
time of war. When steam power shall have
been applied to it, it will send bullets in such
quick succession, that the different reports can
not be distinguished one from another, and the
leaden messengers of death viii go on their e.
rands Of destruction in stream, rather than one
at a time; not unlike a volume Of water from
the nozzle Of fire engine. We do not mean
that Il will send molten lead, but that the bull
lets, dropped into the machine one at q time,
will flow out with tremendous velocity in .
