relieve the monotony buta crushed nigger, now
and then. on the railroad; and, to say the truth,
it is not an uncommon sight Here they ap.
pear to have particularly agreeable faculty Of
amalgamating negroes with their mother earth,
and, being free and in abundance, they can be
spared.
The Bolivar Il little steamer, flying the flag
of the Republic OF New Granada, has had the
misfortune to run on and carry off part OF
the coast. The rocks which she brought awey

did, for plugs. This being the whole navy OF
the Republic, We are again left without n

Main they were never paid for their services
after the last war. They are without patriot
ism and so visit for time the soil OF Costa
Rica, where they arc safe from further impress

The same old leud has been vigorously re.
yived between Leon and Granada, which existed
at the time of the first landing Of Walker in
the country, and which was the chief cause OF
his coming. The ministers are dissatisfied
Many have resigned; and were they sure the
English would attend to the tilibusters, they
would not be long in following the word with
blow, in which case the Leonese (Democrats)
would hold the government for long time 10
