TuE STEAMER WASHINGTON FOR CALIFORNIA.
The New York Herald of December Gath.
says;
The steamship Washington, which was to
have sailed for San Juan del Norte, Nicara.
qua, yesterday, did not leave her pier as was
expected. The reason Of this was because
che had not all her cargo and stores on board,
and consequently was not ready to 60 to sea.
The agents affirm. however. that she will
positively sail to day The Washington takes
out 200 passengers. ninety three of whom are
those who returned with her on her last trip,
when it was found that they could not pro
eeed to California through Nicaragua. The
cargo of the Washington is stated NY the
agents to be 100 bbls. of flour, 600 Obls. of
bread, and large quantity Of tea sugar and
other provisions. She has also 1000 tons of
coal on board fit is found impossible to
pass through Nicaragua this time, the steam
er will proceed to San Francisco via Cape
Horn direct. A feeling of discomfort seemed
to pervade the passengers yesterday because
the vessel did not sail There were some ru.
mors afoat yesterday to the effect that the
Washington had arms and other munitions OF
war on board for the use of Walker and his
hlibusters. One of these was that she had
800 muskets on board and several packages
oi gunpowder All these rumors, are EN-
phatically denied by the agents and the off

In reply to the inquiry made in our col

oflife, lady of great intelligence and worth,
a relative of the FAMILY and of Ogden F. Ed

ms A letter, from which we make few ex-
tracts The facts here stated are thrilling in
their own interest, aud they are sufficient to
stamp, as it deserves, the great crime against
society committed 10y the recent biography
ofthat bad man. Our correspondent writes
Mr.. Ogden F. Edwards, who died in 1910,

fact of his having, in his prosperous davs.

necuniary difficulties. He admired also the
mind God had given him, which, in all its

and fascinating variations. He spent week

Is very vivid He was hater of all man
Kind, a triher with all womankind, and vio-
nted all the rights Of hospitality in the Ii
cense Of his behavior. Parton's book is
tissue of lies, as far as family matters are re-

woune men. My father used to say that

Irish nurse to attend him, and went down
every day to see him. One day as he ap-
preached the hotel, the nurse met him, say
ing, "Indade sir, he's very bad he wants the

9vman, and Immediately entered Col. Burr's
room.

this State, made several attempts to make
"pile," but seems to be destined as martyr

the fact of his never having done any. Large

mouldings would do no discredit to the ar.

the front is usually an inscription in honor
of viTainity or widowhood, as the case may
be; and on the two sides are engraved in
small letters the virtue Of the heroine in ques-
ton. These arches which have fine effect,
are frequent along the roads, and even in the
towns. At Ningo po, celebrated seaport in
the province of Tche-Kiang, there is a long
