Walker, had been captured by the Hon- | daros government, while attempting bis ^ third invasion against Central America, and | and that he was to be shot; while bis sol1 diers, who were in a destitnte condition, J were to be sent to the United Btales, with the promise that they would never again ! raise their arms, in war against Centra | America. Bat this coaid hardly be eredi- | ted. Pew coaid believe that s warrior, j who had passed thsough so many bloody - battle fields, was st lost taken ; until later Intelligence on Friday, was received that he (Walker) bad been *bot, with Col.

: XojuiNATtcx At a Demoi of the First Congress tonal district of New Jereey, held et Cam. den ott Meaday lest, Joseph F. Learning. Boq.. of DonaUriile, in this county, was aomiaated as the candidate of the party (or Coagreoe. Mr. Looming U popular, apd, if etoctod, would represent the dia-

ler.

Many persons mourned over this news, thinking him a statesmen of the first order and a brave saldier; bat the mass of our eiUsent—those who have the love of A mertca at heart, and who treat unjust wan with ceotempt—did not regret. They thought that Gen. Walker had been fighting for f*me ; that ho bad ever dreamed he would one day stand before the world, as a mighty ruler, aod that, in time, if he had lived, America would have blushed to had it known, that he was her sOn, by birthright. This is the opinion too, of yooc correspondent No one (abject was more interesting to the people of Ibis country in 1855, '56 and '57, than was the wars of General Walker, and it is probable your readers may bo sstiafied to read a sketch of these noted disturbances ; such os I shall attempt to give. Tho Province of Central America never was at peace, from its foundation. Frequent were the difficult!*',, which opened a way for ware. Ton might wander through its States, and often come acrou traces of battles, resembling the bloody battle fields j of Lexington, Daukor Hill and Monmonth During the Fall of 1854, a revolution broke out in Nicaragua, between parlies > styled the Serviles ond Liberals. The President of tbe country was on ov« r_ bearing chief, and his laws were too binding for a certain portion of inhabitants.— Those hat felt oppressed, met in private conpeil, at Leon, and resolved to liberate uemselvc.'. Under the lead of Don Frani ' ■‘CO Caaliliion, a young man. with a deep mind an*', superior education, they raised an iiv-urraction. With 500 soldiers—a small force indeed—be was met by Cham, morra, the President, and an engagement took place, termtnating.in tbe defeat of tho Utter. This contest enlivened Castillion, and, era long, he had thons&udt sympathising with him, instead of hundreds. Chamorra sent'out numerous armies ; bat tbsy were at every battle defatted, end Castillion was pursuing them north and capturingtbe principal cities; when his amuoilion fall short. The Serviles were well pre pared with aeoutrements, Ac., expecting this deficiency on the -part of their enemies. Warlike, they caught this fair opportunity, and rushed exulliug|y upon them; but their tune soon changed; as Castillion had a few charges of powder and shot left; which, with a company, well disciplined in the art of war, caused a destrnctive fight to eoene; both parties snlfering a terrible loss. The Liberals, however, retreated to the sooth, and Castillion knowing that Gen. Walker wot then residing at San Francisco, sent a messenger to him, inviting him to raise s force, and Cume and help him oat of his troubles; most likely offering os a reconr pense, a high office, if their course proved victorious. Walker it appeared had b.sen planning to reach' Nicaragua, for tbe purpose of waning, thinking be might dethrone Cbam.orra and eaubliab n new government, with himself at the head ; bat, be changed his design, and prepared a vessel for tbe voyage. With fifty eight men, he was s’ A to qnit his native shore, when the Ui '*4 States Marshal came on board, to stop him To parley with this new-com-er. would have endangered him. and ha oat his wines, sod soon the officer became quite marry; forgot bis dfity; while snehors were weighed and the port cleared. They proceeded many miles before Heir prison er was set at liberty, flere I will leave this personage, on tbe waters of tl}e broad Pacific. What his thoughts were.

Floor does oot go "hlf very sapid ; as tbe worthless speculators, are not anxious to sell, until the arrival of the next Karopesn steamei, expecting it will then bcieg a higher price. Superfine is selling st $5,75; extra, $6.25; and family, at $7,00. Corn finds good sale, at 75 els. Pennsylvania oats, bring .18 cL. Sugars are steady. Tea is reasonable ; bat Coffee brings enormous prices ; on account of the speculators. They buy op all that comes' tho market, aod sell it at their own rates, and will continue so to do, until wo have another arrival from South America ; which will be soon. Some think the markets will bo high as in 1857, but you need

Mr. Eorroa:—Having seen a notice in yoar paper, a few numbers since, requesting any one to act os a reporter in sending you accounts of matters that transpire, of local interest, I comply, and give you an account of a Mass Mooting—of parties opposed to tho election of any candidate who will govnation, as it has been governed for the past eighth years—held in the Academy at this place, on Thursday evening last. Tbe weather was unfavorable, and tho boaso was not crowded ; although a goodly numpresent, to listen to an address from the Hon. John T. Nixon. At eight ‘'clock Mr. Nimn made his appearance, and was warmly greeted by bis friends. The meeting was organised by the election of (Japt. Jacob Corson Chairman, who introdneed onr Congressman—Mr. Nixon—

to the audience.

He had stepped from tbe court room door—into a carriage—to meet ibis engagement, after speanding nine hours, in troublesome - case, and was somewhat fatigued, having rode a number of miles, and’

did not intend to make a speech, but wish-1 ed to talk a short time in a plain style, on | much tbu American politics. He refered to the I nny other Democratic party in power, tho immense 1 cordiuliiy
