Commodore Vanderbilt In NICARAGUA

commodore vanderbilt In Nicaragua
From the letter of the New York correspon.
dent of the Charleston Courier it appear that
Commodore Van derbilt, has out witted both
Monsieur Belly, and the Old Transit company.
IN Nicaragua. 1t seems that the Commodore
has himself made treaty with Nicaragua and
by loan of 100000 of his personal funds has
secured monopoly of the transit route for
term of years. The writer thus speak of the
energy and success, which have characterized
all the exports ofthe Commodore:
The lase exploit Of Vanderbilt is his great
est. After eli We have read and heard of
shrewed FRENCH Diplomatist-one Mons. Belly
and his achievements iE the Central Ameri
can States. We had begun to DESPAIR of the
Monroe doetrine, and to believe that the French
emperor was going to try his hand in con.
quests upon this Continent But the old Ameri
can Machiarelli was TOO nutlf even for this ad.
yenturous Frenchmau. Commodore Wander
bilt pow has it in his power to do nearly what
hespieases in Nicaragua and Costa Rica! If the
Government Of the United State is civil to him,
be will allow it to share in the ADVANTAGES he
has obtained. With his influence, there is but
little doubt that the Central American States
~lll3yetso far place themselves under our Dro-
tectIonaas'to to- allow American war steam ers to
guard the interests of our citizens on the 18th.

There is great satisfaction expressed here
thst the Central American question approaches

agains Hehas the money and the brains to do
it as recent circumstances have shown. The
100000 in specie, 80 cleverly forwarded to
that poverty stricken country by him. clearly
proves that in ibis respect he will not be short
coming. In his sons-in-law-D. B. Allen and
Horace +. Clark, as well as his trusty agent
". II. G. Webster-he has associates With
whom the word 'fnil" is rarely co9bected.-
The great secret Of the successes of Vanderbilt
's that he never trusts his interests 10 any one
who will deceive him, or afterwards quarrel
with him. His projected schemes are conse.
4uent'y never made public. and even should he
occasionally fail. the world would still be ig.
norant of the fact. and ever the same believe
'religiously in his invincibility. Commodore
vanderbilt has tho fastest steam ship afloat, and
he has achieved in foreign State what two
aEeat governments could not obtain. Are not
these glories enough for q simple republican

Of all the specifics offered for the cure of
Lung Complaints, we have the greatest faith in
Wistars Batsam Of JFad Cherry. Free from
those narcotic ingredients which enter so largely
into the composition of some other patent med

tenn. We speak of this valuable medicine from
personal knowledge of its effects. Scarcely two
years have elapsed since. a member of our fami-
ly toas raised from the rery brink Of the grave
through its use; and in several subsequent cases
where it has been administered in our house

Very true, very true. We concur most heartily.
