SUCCESSES OF GEN. WALKER.
CAPTURE OF TR UXILLO.

BY the arrival Of the schooner Ara
minta, Captain Malson, seven days from
Atilla, we have received highly impor-
tant news from Central America con
corning Gen. Walkers movements. 1t
appears that the expedition, after lea
wing the island of Mugcres, its place Of
rendezvous, proceeded, not to the San
Juan river, in Nicaragua, as was gene
rally expected, bat to the coast of Hon
duras- Three weeks ago he arrived at
Truxillo, and Immediately succeeded,
without any loss, in capturing the town
and fort of Truxillo. These events had
occasioned great excitement at Ruatan.
The schooner Clifton, belonging to the
expedition, had been taken by the Bri,
fish authorities at Belize. Her crew
were brought up to this city by the Ara
minta. The Clifton had communicated
with Gen. Walker, and delivered all her
munitions before ~proceedi,.r to Belize.
There was no flag on the Island of
Utilla; but the inhabitants paid all
honor to the American Jack of the Ara
minta, and hoisted it on the island.
Utilla is one Of. the Bay Islands, and
is the nearest one to the mainland.
TruxilLo is situated about forty miles
south of Ruatan, and contains about
5000 inhaNsants.-N o. Piayune.

Peeping Through the Trees.
BY VIRGINIA FERGUSON.

II is the hour when Eve reclineth,
Upon the glittering breast of Night,
And like a bride, the young moon shinethr
Through her unveHing ~lustrous light;
Dear memory fondly bends above me,
Unfolding dreams OF happier days
I hear a voice sigh, 81 love thee
Ihear his wild enchanting lays,
And oh! 7 droop so sad and lonely,
Mnrmuring sadly to the breeze,
With one sweet star, and but one only,
Peeping at me through the trees!
Fas up above the stars are laving
THEW beauty in a lovlier sea,
And soft white clouds are lightly waving
Their 'kerchiefs at them gracefully,
HaIk : TO that voice of gIadne>s p%ealing,
Unbound and chainhess was that shout
'Tis some hearts pecan, filled with feeling,
Which in IFS swelling gusheth out.
And still | droop more sad and lonely,
Murmuring wildly to the breeze,
With one sweet star, and bdt one only,
Peepisg at me through the treesi
Shine on the brightest orb which beameth
In yon expanse Of blue and air,
is not more pure than that which gleamethl
So tremblingly above ne there;
Still let thy rays fail full and sweetly
Among my loose locks flowing free,
For time will pass less sad but fleetty
IL thou art smiling soft on me:
Hank bark! a~tep, no longer lonely
Bot laughing like the passing breeze,
For It's my love, and but him only
Peephg at me through the treesl

This merchant is a public bcnefactor.
There is one spot in the land where a
man can 60 and purchase pure liquors

intend to give an elaborate description
of Mr.. Nolfe's extensive warehouse, or
the details of his enormous business, al

thirty thousand dollars, imported by Mr..
Wolf direct from Madeira, Portugal and
Spain, and also from the London docks.
Mr.. W. is now doing in Wines and liq-
uors, what he has been doing in Gin for
several years past. His Schnapps bust
ness has increased, until now his sales
amount to (1S0,000 doz.) N hundred
and eighty thousand dozen Of bottles
of Schnapps annually. In five years he
he will be equally successful with his
Brandies and Wines. Heaven grant it
may be so for he is doing a world of
good. How many thousands of our most
clever men are cut off annually by the
poisonous bad liquors! How many thou
sands of valuable lives would have been
saved, had Mr.. Wolfe commenced impor-
ting and bottling pure Liqors and Wines
years ago? But it is not too late now
His business merits the patronage of ev-
cry lover of his species. If he only sue
ceeds in preventing the sale of one-tenth
of the bad liquors now sold, by repla-
cling it with his pure importations, he
will deserve the gratitude of mankind.

THE DEMOCRACY OF VIM PARISH
The account that had reached us, entire
ly, however, through Douglas channels,
of the division among the Democrats
of VIM, had led us to suppose that we
were in some danger of losing this par
ish at the November election. But infor-
nation recently received from a reliable
source, remove all doubt as to the posi-
ton which she will occupy. Not only
are the friends of Breckenridge compa-
city organized, but their energy and en-
thusiasm has been aroused by the bragg
CART language of the Douglasites, and
theypromise, not a bare majority merely
but such an overwhelming vote as shall
leave no doubt hereafter as to the polit.
ical complexion of their parish.
There is no doubt hat Breckenridge
will carry erery parish in the Fourth Con:

1t is fact, that John C. Breckenridge.
has always been the faithful and elo-
qucnt champion of "the Union, the Con
stitution, and the Equality OF the
States; :" proving himself throughout
his public career the elevated states
man, the trae patriot and honest man..
1t is fact, that Joseph Lane has been
equally true to the South, and has al
WAYS opposed the enemies of his coun-
try both at home and abroad. He nercr
cast a rote against the South
1t is a fact, that Stephen \. Douglas
is in favor of Squatter-SOvereignty, a
doctrine Which, if endorsed by the
American people by electing him to the
Presidency, would forever exclude the
Southern people with their property
from the Territories, and be. a. degra-
ding to the South as the triumph of the
principles of Black RepublicaniSm.
Squafter- Sovereignty is shOrt cut to all the
ends Of AboHtionism!
1t is a fact that John Bell voted, as a

tended to mean one thing at the South

1t is fact, that the great question to
be decided at the Presidential election

States are the equals of the Northern
States in the Union, and that every
Southern man who votes for Bell or
Douglas, virtually acknowledges that
