Country Orerrm by Indians and robbers,
By an express which arrived in sun Antonio
yesterday gentleman of our city received u
letter from an old and responsible citizen of Chi
huahua. Mexico, dated March The 2lst giving u
most deplorahle account Of that unfortunate
country. II seems that life and property are not
safe anywhere. and that the great mass OF the
responsible portion Of the comRdhisy look to the
United States ~ their only hope.
We give below, rcrddii'n, that portion ot the
letter referred to, and il may be considered
siricily rSlidbhc.
"0ur country is still in horrid state Of dis
cord and revolution, they have raised an excite
ment here against the Liberal party,-the major
ity Of the people ME in favor of u change, il
matters not to them. nor does the calculation ev-
er enter thair heads, whether they are liLcly to
he benefited by the change or not. They have
become so accustomed to change from one party
to another that they cannot rest unless thev have
new authorities every few months. Business is
now exceeding dull, nor is there any prospect of
n change, unless the United Safes steps in and
takes us under her protecting care. Tie rcvc'
nues OF the country are entirely exhausted, nor
do they know how to incrcas" them without op-
preston. Ii cannot he denied but that the cQun-
try is rich in resources, but they will neycr be
developed by these people
The whole country is 0NerTun with Indians
and robbers. Hundreds Of families are destitute
of the common neccssarics of nie, The men
are dragged from their homes to I'LL the armies
of the several helligercnt PARTIES thus their fam
lies are left to the mercy of tho robbers md In

The American. Expelled from Nioar qua,

/ The latest news from Nicaragua confirms our
long entertained authorizations. The mOngrels of
chat country, prompted by English aud French
ag,nts, have committed an overt act OF gu rage
upon our citizens, have seized the boats OF the
Transit Company, burnt its bridges and expelled
the agents Of the Company from the country -
Il seems that some of the French or English
husyh0lies, with which the country swarms, set
aloa' the story that another army of "6lihus,
tors had arrived, and that "the dogs of war"
were let loose upon them. This, ~ 1t turned out,
was all hoax. hut il served the purposes 0f the
English and Iranch. The excited "gr"ascrs"
seiged the hlats of the Transit Company, and
burned all the bridges on the Transit route. some
fifteen or twenty in number. which had all been
lately built or repaired As cap shear the
government has officially repudiated the right Of
any American Transit Company, and throw open
tho route To the world Thus ends American in
lucacc in Nicaragua,
Talking and diplomacy have come to their To-
gtimac result. Martinez and his cowardly and
hypocritica satellites have fooled our government,
until in their folly they think they are strong
enough to openly insult us. They have received
the assurances Of England that she stands ready
to assist them when called upon and Sardinia,
it is said, has also effected a treaty OF he same
nature, while France stands ready to follow suit.
There seems to he little or no doubt that the
PROJECT some time HlnCt SNlTbtN' W, VI
England, France and Sardinia taking l1int pro-
tectoratc over Nicaragua, has actually been ac-
eOmrl;shOd Al all events. American interests
are pros'ratc. The Ouscley Treaty, il is said, is
certainly ratified, and yet the Mosquito Piotec
torate s not lblninned, rs Mr.. Ouseley assured
Mr.. Bgchanan it would be. So far as diploma
cy goes. our relations with Nicaragua are ended.
Ii would he disgrace and an insult to our peo.
pie to reason any further with such II people.
The question now arises, what course will our
government pursue We are not prepared to say
exactly what authority the President has in the
premises. We know if Congress had conferred
upon him the power asked ut the last Congress,
he would have the authority to demand and force
instant reparation for SO foul an insult and if
he had not done so, we, for one, would not have
failed to severely rcprehend his course. As it
stands, England and France are really more to
blame in this matter than the Nicarasuans.-
Their agents have played upon the fears If an
ignorant andcowardly people, and have sought,
through lies and hypocrisy, to destroy our prog
ress in that direction. We hope the President
will loose n, time in sending Jcrez home and Ia
jng positian that shall teach France and Eng
| nd that are to be no longer humbuased in this
matter. day BoJk.

employed carriers for them on his individual
responsibility in order to secure the necessary
facilities TO the people of the country, trusting
alone to government honor for protection from
pecuriary loss. The liabilities he has assum-
ed for the government amount TO sixty eight
dollars per week. Mr. Elliott deserves credit
for his energy, 10 say nothing, of the risk IN

made no provision. He is entitled. 10 Fofe oil

Eors3he Patriot.

As the rInunicipal election for our city
draws near, wetnust look about for suitable
persons to Ell the Offices of the corporation.
The names Of several good and worthy citi-
zens have been suggested for the Mayoralty.
and as none of them have publicly accepted,
it is inferred that neither of the gentlemen
proposed, desire the Office. With this view,
and for Elny good Considerations, our worthy
and gallant fellow citizen, st. CLAIR NJ. Nor
GAN, has been mentioned as a suitable candid
ate fer the Mayoralty. Energy, Enterprise,
aud q generous liberality,-all. are par is of
his education and nature; but it is not neces-
sary to speak fully of his qualifications. He
has grown up here among us; we all know
him. In the late visit of the Chatham Ar
tillery, we have had such unmistakable evil
.dence of his superior administrative talent a
quality essential in tue management of city,
that many persons have suggested him, for
the chief executive place in our city. More
over, be is young. and imbued with that
| chvalrous spirit, which marks the conduct
of all great and successful men, whether in
| peace or war.
1t is hoped, that he will give public express
sion to his views on this subject, and allow
his name to come before the people for their
choice.
