The LAST Fn.IBUsTER FORAY-WAR AT THE ST.
NIcHoIAs.-As our readers have been informed
by our news columns, there have been within the
past two days some tremendous wars and i'm
mensely terrible conflicts (of words between
number of gentlemen who follow the business of
extending the area Of our institutions especially
revolvers) in various parts of this continent.

vassals and serfs seem to be the responsible par
ties in the bloodless quarels which have recently
taken place in that remarkable Field of Mars
the barroom of the st. Nicholas Hotel.
We have rarely seen the old Latin maxim
- Facils dcscensus Averni,
Sed revocsre srsdur, superasque evadere ad auras,
Hic labor, hoe opus est
more fully proved than in these late wars of the
rosebuds. They, headed by Walker, have been
fighting all sorts Of odds and ends in Mexico and
Central America for years. Some of them, with
out doubt, led forlorn hopes at Chepultepec,
Cherubusco, or on the bloody field of Moline del
Rey. In Sonora, Lower California and Ncara-
qua they have singly put to fight whole armies
of greasers. In fact, they only surrender
ed when the Star Spangled Banner, backed
by some vulgar marines, and sustained
by blue jackets, with matches in disagreeable
proximity to twenty-four Founders, appeared be-
fore their patriotic eyes. That was good while
ago for this fast age. But even then they had
little intestine rows When they were high and
dry on the sand bar at Punta Arenas, with
nothing to eat but revolvers, they quarrelled.
Then and there the bold Titus and the ferocious
Anderson had trouble. Then and there the gal
liant Wheat, who is one of the most accommo-
dating fellows in the world, suggested that the
matter should be settled. There was the
prettiest fighting ground in the world.
There was a hard sand bank, plenty of
revolvers, shady trees, and no authorities
or institutions to interfere with the chi

wards the auriferous regions nigh to the Califor-
MIA Gulf. But General Twiggs, who belongs,
like General Webb to the regular army, wouldn't
permit the bold Titus and his merry men to cross
the frontier of Arizona. The General evidently
believed that the intentions of Titus were not
lamb-lke, and your army man has an in
tense disgust for your amateur mzaatre.
Walker, too, failed to meet with very cordial
reception ia Mexico, and with his trusty adhc-
rent, Anderson, came to New York. This set of
chevaliers met the Titus party. They were all,
as the boys say, "spiling for fight" and they
picked out the St. Nicholas barroom as the scene
Of their campaign. Curiously enough, the land
lord Of the hotel failed to see the matter in the
flibusters light, and acting with the vigor and
promptitude of Paulding, had Colonel Ander-
son locked up-absolutely incarcerated in sta
ton house. And the other flibusters grew calmer.
And the world, as Calico says, does move.
But the filibusters are good deal like the
