NICARAGUA.

The capture of Col. ANDERSON is believed to
have put an end to fbustering for some time.
The Richmond South says:
"One of the most enthusiastic and respectable
asscmblages that ever met to greet, countenance
and encourage n distinguished man, met at the
festive board last evening at the American Hotel.
Statesmen were there, and egislators-memhers
of the bar and other learned profesSions-otfcers
of the militia and men of worth in civil lite-allanx-
ious to honor one whom they regard rs true rep
resentative of Southc interests, and whom they
believe to have heen most foully dealt with-to
honor in word, Gen. Wm. Walker, the hero of
Central America, the founder in that tropical re-
gon of American institutions.
"On his name being toasted, the General made
a most powerful speech, in which he gave thrill.
ling history Of his career. and in which he reviewed
the action of our Government towards him."
1t is our b,lief that the imam of destiny Will
return at no very distant day to Central America
\ reaction, however, appears to be going on in
favor of Commodore PAuLDING.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE ~ PAR1s.--The
Presidents message was published in full ny all
the Partisan journals. 1t was telegraphed through
from Liverpool to Paris in FIVE hours and half
the same time as was required to telegraph 1t to
London. But the two copies came over different
wires, and while the copy sent to London was IN
English, that To Paris was in French This tact
sh"ws the Importance given to The message. The
comments Of the press upon this document nre
various. The Dchats says that 1t approaches
more than any previous message, the style OF an
address from throne in Europe. But the Deoats
is alone in this criticism.
The Charivari pretends to have been informed
hv its correspondent at Washington, that Mr..
buchanan was present in the House during the
reading, with his pockets full of revolvers; and
that not satisfied with the reception given to the
document, he shot the clerk, the speaker, and sev-
eral members Of the opposition; and then on bis

The LAW OF DVoRcE.-We perceive that
the new divorce bin introduced in the Senate
of this State by Mr.. Wadsworth, has called out
considerable comment from the press. Under
the present Law divorces uinct1o motrimomi can
only be granted on proof of the actual crimi-
nality of one of the parties. Anybody can
get married in five minutes, but the facilities
for getting unmarried are distressingly limited.
The new bill purposes to increase those
facilities, and to make separation for
term Of years, or desertion-which
is about the same thing-csuse for di.
vorce. 1t is not probable that the Legislature
will do anything particular during the session,
and the chances for the passage Of this bill are
very small. When the bill is taken up, how
ever, We would suggest that special proviso
should be inserted for the benefit of the dra-
matte artsts. Some of the most prominent of
them in this city have had a considerable
amount Of divorce business on hand lately, and
have been good deal bothered by the defec-
tive condition of the law. There should be
section Of the law shortening the time of sepa-
ration. An artist might live apart from his
wife for week, and then take new one, and
repeat the same course nd in.fnnum. We ask
the members of the Legislature to take this
matter into serious consideration. Perhaps the
Rev. DR.. Bellows will favor the community with
his views upon the subject, in the shape of lee
ture

The Hos. GEORGE BANCROFT --The Rev.
and Hon. George Bancroft has been unwilling
that the decision of the directors of the
Academy of Music should deprive an attentive
world of the mighty words which he would
have spoken had the Academy doors been
opened on Friday night, or the air outside
triEe warmer. He has fred off bis speech in the
daily papers as many another gallant homnW has
done before him. 1t reads very we'll; Us
smoothly as nicely finished essay: but it
strikes us that the author of it has made
blunder.
Mr.. George Bancroft began life as clergy
man, and oficiated as pastor of some New
England church. He left, however, no clerical
memory. No one ever heard of q sermon or
prayer or hymn by Bancroft. His ecclesisas-
tical career is perfect blank. From the church
he went into politics, and obtained a seat in the
Cabinet as Secretary of the Navy. His occupa-
ton of that post is only remembered by his in
cessant quarrels with the officers of the navy
end the clerks in the department. He never
did or said anything during his whole term of
Office which has been or deserves to be remem-
bered. This, too was blank in his life. He
went TO England as United States Minister ; but
ono may read and re-read the printed records of
all our voluminous negotiations with Great
Britain without once finding it necessary to
ask who or what Bancroft was. Another
blank. In ono thing only has Mr.. Bancroft sas-
ceeded, and that is as historian. For twenty
years he has been occupied with his history of
the United States; and partly from the superb
cial merits Of the work and partly from the
rank of the writer, it has obtained remarkable
success, abroad as at home and has placed Mr..
Bancroft among the chief historians of the
world. This rank is conceded to him not in
consequence of the ornamental part of his work,
but because general reliance is placed upon its
accuracy as book Of history.
OF Mr.. Bancroft's accuracy and reliability as
historian his undelivered speech of Friday
night enables us to Judge. Though Kansas af-
fairs have occupied so much of public attention,
he blunders at every second line; all historian
as he u.s. he cannot draw plain picture Of the
facts without the grossest distortion. If his
history of the United States is written with no
more regard to the facts than isspeech ofhis on
Kansas, it ought to be denounced and kicked
out Of our libraries at once.
