A person of this character I hare been writing about for soma weeko past. Many would suppose that Gen. Walker's heart wonld have throbbed with terror when ba found himself In tha hands or one who acted for the United States government.

J | some portious of Central Amcric-. audi 6 1 that each soldier thai went with bun would r get an office under the now government. ,f and in this way be induced men to nrc.un i j pany Lim. It was ia the early pari d last r summer thai Walker bode a long and last ( „ . farewell ! to hi* "mother country." fie I t i bud, at it were, a banner about him. which - J was inscribed with "conquer or die," and j * K | upon bis forehead, 1 fancy, there was a ' „ word stamped, which, carried out, lis* | ,f brought him to tho grave (a« it has thou*- , ' j | and* of others) and that fatal teal w.i* p I AxniTtOK. While io tho Gulf of Mexico, an Ameri j ( 1 can ifrnr Sloop attempted io cotclithe filli j o buster's vessel, tint having a fust era t aud i if smart seamen, he sailed from Ihe AmeriCaoo man like lightning, and wa* »oon off the ' c n coast of Honduras. If my memory is cor- i c e rant, it was about the first of August that * j Walker landed at Treadle (the chief com- . v morcinl city of Honduras) and curameoced j 1 warring. lie besieged the Fort, and «£er t hard fighting, drove from it the Truxilliuns; . • killing many of Rem. The lost on his | * fide was small, and he gloried in having « 0 won such a complete victory. With nine 1 . ty man be kapt poauaision of the Fort, on- f ; til the British sloop Icarus anchored off c * the shore, and from it lauded Capt. Salmon, * , and a number of his officers, who demanded t t i hut Walker should deliver up the Fort, j hi* arms and nmunition, and provisions to t J Iloiblurraii authorities. The General re- t ] plied and asked by who! authority a British 'I r commander made such demands, riulmon 1 1 answered by inquiring by what authority j . he, an indivldnul without a flag, made war f f against a nation. Iu a sarcastic manner, 1 u Walker replied that, "a* a certain citigan 1 r and officer of the Nicarnguar. Republic, 1 2 make war against a Stole which has inva-. I J ded the Stata of my adoption." This re f [ mark' rather stamped the Englishman, and i . after a moment in thougha. he closed bia • " interview by nying that he would give t I Walker until 10 o'clock tho next daje (22nd) f y to come to a decision, whether hw. weald c * sarreuder or not. Gap. Walk<r remained * undecided for some lime, but be soon hart i his mind mads up, and at midnight h* de ■ j stroyad the amunition Ac., and evacnated v ,f the plaea, leaving behind a few tick men. \ . As they proceeded down the Roman river_ - thay were not noticed by tha learns, and * a whan tha morning dawned thay found them- ^ . autre* only'six miles from TrnxlUo They , encamped at this place for awhile, but aooo 1 moved farther into the interior.
