    £n<l ff the Walker Fxpedilion—The
General and his Vcn arrested by
f'ommodttre Paulding and seal
home Prisoners.
General Walter's raid ha been suddenly
brought to an fgflotninous end. The note from
Oapt. Cliatard, through 'the IJi itish Consul,
warning the fillihustcr against any interference
witli the Costa-Rica mail, has already been pub
lished in our columns. On the nexi day Capt.
Cliatard addressed the following note to the
General :
U. S. S. S.THF-TTOOA, (
SAN JUAN DEL NORTE, I ►Dec. I, 18*7. J
SIR Lieut. Ciiley, the bearer of this, is !
one of the officers to whom you yesterday offer !
ed the gross insult of riireitc.iing to shoot litem. |
Now such an insult to officers of the United ;
ivates Navy is a national offence. You certain
ly net with very little policy; for surely, if you '
were to dare to touch out of my officer?. I
wool. tee I justified to retaliate in the extreme, ;
and would not hesitate to do so. 1 w.li lay the j
matter before the Commodore when he arrives, i
and no doubr lie tvdj feci the insult more deep- j
ly than myself. I received your dispatch ana j
wilt forward it to him.
Respectfully,
FKED'K CHATARD, Commander, j
Gert'l Win. Walker.
To neither ot these communications did the
General make uuy reply. On the afternoon of
the same day the bouts of tue Saratoga were
out practising with a howitzer and small arms
near the point where Walker's men were sta
tioned. On seeing the boats approaching, the
-fiLibusters drew up iu brttle array, in auticipu- j
tion of their landing, which, however was not j
the iuteution of the boats' crews. Hid they
-lauded the sequel shows what kind of opposition
the (Llibusters would have tirade. On the 2d
of December Captain Cbatard addressed the
-following note to General Walker:
U. 8. 8. SARATOGA, Dec 2, 1857.
SIR: —As 1 AM entirely opposed to harming
any ore unless 1 know 1 have a full ami
very good reason to do so, 1 wish to notify you j

way ot any shot I may have tu fire to briug ves

sels to, so that 1 may fully inquire into their
•character. Of course 1 <lu not admit your claim
to the soil, uor can you yourself iu earnest ima

Respectfully, FUED'K CHATARD.
Commander, j
Gen. Win. Walker.
On the ti it ot December Commodore Pauld
in L tie W UUUMI arrived at Grey town acconi- >
fanied by she English liue-of-batt!e sbijj, '
Brunswick, uud English steamer, Leopard.—
•©u tire -7tli the U. S. stearrer c urc into part
from -lioco del Toro. A correspondent of the
Tribune, under dale of Dec. 12, thus describes >
what followed:
On the 7th of December,as tho rain came down ,
in torrents, with a heavy sea outside nothing j
■was done. Commodore I'auidtug had sent word ,
to Walker that he considered him a pirate, and I
•would take him and bis men prisoners. Walker j
rent Capt. F issoux on board the Wabash to tell i
the Commodore tint he sltottl 1 resisr to the i
last, litis was on tltc Bth, and Cqt. Fayssoux 1
was detained on boord the Wabash until tin- j
marines and sail >rs were sent on shore. These,
united with the men from the Fultoa and Sara
toga, made force of 750 men; und 450 on the
pofnt :rnd .500 in lite boats. The force out shore :
surrounded rtie -fiilibusfer camp, the boats ad- j
vanned to the Ireadquarters of Cue pirate c'nief.
AH officer thereon jumped on shore, and called
upon Walker to haul down bL flag and surren- j
der'to the United States.
After all bis boasting the min of deJtint
made no resistance, but surrendered himself
and bis whole force. The whole affiir did not
occupy ten initiator. The fl tg was It-ruled down
and Walker, carried a prisoner -on board th'e
Fulton, just as the steamboat Morgan came
down the river. She was immediately surround
ed by tiie armed boats an d taken possession of
tor ihe Untteu Btates; she wis under the com- i
mund ot D.s iirivsof, an old fiiiibuster, witb
Macdonald, an agent ofGtrrison and Morgan,
on board. There were also en tho steamed 40
or 50 Costa Rican., tukeu prisoners by Ander
son t Castillo; and on board the steamer Li
Tirgen. As soon as tltc fillibtisters Were made
prisoners the English steamer Leopard left for
Jamaica.
Walker and the men were sent on board the !
Wabash; his officers en board the Saratoga. A
guard of marines were placed in the deserted
ejtup of the fillibusters, souie of whom were hi
diug in the hushes,plundering provisions, arms i
and amunition, with t lie ituent on of going up
the river to j.iu Anderson. On the 10th all
these straglers were cup ured, and this day
they will be on their wry tc the United States,
all the men having been transferred to the Sar
atoga, which vessels proceeds to Now Orie nt*-,
"Walker alone going on the Wabash to A.spiu
*•!!, he hiving his parole to proceed to NeW
York nnd deliver himself to tire United States
Marshal there. You tiny well iutigino that
the inhabitants of this pi ice are rejoiced at the
exodus of these adventures, and now only await
tho surrender of Anderson an 1 his party in
Castillo, who or. their arrival here are arc to
be received on board a man o(-war. I subjoin
a copy of the letter from Commodore Paulding
calling upon Waiter to .surrender:
U. S. FLAG Snip WABASIT, (
Off San Juan Del Norte, Dec. 7, '57. )
Slß: —Your letter of Nov. 30 WAS recievc-d
at Aspinwall, aud c ent wi'h my despatches to
the Government. That of Dee. 2d came to bund
yesterday.
Tbe-e letters surpi i-sed me with their tone of
asdaintj and falsification of facts.
Your rude discourtesy in speaking of Capt.
Chatard of the Saratoga, [ pass without com
ment. The mistake lie made wu# in not driving
yon from Funta Arenas wbc-n you leaded there
in di finance of his guus.
Iu occupying tho point Arenas and assuming
it to be the headquarters of the army of Nica
ragua, and you its commander-in-chief, you sttd
your asso.:ru?e? beiag lawless adventurers, de
c'.evo no or. l by toeir absurdity.
Lieut. Ctlly, of the Saratoga, informs mo that
he wan in unifot.n, and ycu say he was in plain
clothes when you threatened to shoot liita.— '
( While you nso such threats it way be of aonie
i importance for yon to know that if any person
! belonging ' o my co'iimarid shall relieve injury
i fiowi your lawless violence the penalty to you
shall be a tribute to humanity.
Now, s.r, you and your fellows are here in
violation of the laws of the United Slates, and
greatly to its dishonor, 111 iking war upon a peo
ple with whom we are at peace; and for the sake
. f humanity, public and private justice, trs well
1 as what is due to the honor and integrity of the
United Slates, 1 command you and the people
lu re associated with you, to surrender your 'arms

The Aspinw ill correspou lent of the Panama
Star says that Gen. Walker shed tears (of mor
tification, probably,) when his flig was hauled
down. Tue Hriti.-h CouininiiJcr, it is understood,
"Would have dislodged and arrested the filibus

that coniuicndablc course. Anderson and his
men were at Castillo at the latest advices.—

NINE PROMISES.
The following are authentic. Tho oldest
will not be of the ago of four years until next
M iy. Surely, it h.ut been left for the Locofocn
party to prove that "medley's rbo only wear."
Head the following :
No. 1. "Resolved, That we recognize the
"right of the people of all the Territories, inclu
ding Kansas and Nebraska, acting through I tic

of perfect equality with the other States.'" —
Cincinnati Platform.
No. "J. "It being the true intent ami mean- ,
ing of this act net to legislate slavery into any j

but to leave the people thereof PERFECTLY ;

lotions in their own way, subject only to tire :
cuiistbuliou of the United States.— jYebraska
No. 3. "It is the imperative and indispensa- i
ble duty of the I uited States to secure to eve- i
ry resident inhabitant the free and independent i
expression of his opinion by hrs vote. This ;
being accomplished, nothing can be fairer than
to leave the people of .a territory free from all j
foreign interference to decide their institutions ;
according to the consti'ution of the United |
States."— Buchanan's inaugural.
N<>. 4 "There arc two great objections con- !
nccted with the present excitement, growing j
out of the affiirs of Kansas, and the attain
ment of which will bring it to a speedy tcrmi- |
nation. These were clearly and succinctly j
stated in the President's recent Inaugural Ad- I
dress, and I embody the paragraphs in the com
munication, asking your special attention to
t'ueui. It is declared in that instrument to be
'the imperative and indispensable duty ot the j
Government of the Uuited States to secure to .
every resident inhabitant the tree and indepeu- !
dent expression oi' his opinion by his vote —-
This sacred right of each individual must be

ing can be fairer than to leave the people of <

States.
"When such a Constitution shall be submit
ted to the people of this Territory, they must
be protected itt the exorcise of their right of
voting for or against that instrument, and the
fair expression of the populrr will must not be
interrupted by fraud or violence." — Walker's
Instructions.
No. 5. "Under these circumstances there
can be no such thing as ascertaining clearly
and without doubt the will of the people in any
way except by their own direct expressions of ,
it at the pulls-. A constitution not subjected to
that test, no matter what it contains, wiii nev
er bo acknowledged by its opponents to he ar.y
tiiiug but a fraud." — Wash. Union, July 7,
1857.
No. 6. "I undcrstan 1 that you and all your
cabinet cordially concur iu the opinion expres
sed by me, that the actual bona tide residents
of the Territory of Kansas, by a fair and regu
lar vote, unaffected by fraud or violence, MEET

the patriotism of the whole people of Kansas,
who should all participate, freely and fully, \
in this decision, and by a majority of those ■
votes the determination must be made, as the 1
only proper and constitutional mode of adjust- !
incut."— Walker's Letter of Acceptance.
No. 7. "I repeat, then,as my earnest convie
ti<>n, that unless the convention stthuiit the con

ANOTHER LETTER FROM GOV. WALKER.—
| The IIi)u. Robert .1. Walker responded to an
j invitation to attend the celebration of the InnJ
| irig of the Pilgrims by the New York Now
j England Society, as follows:
WASHINGTON CITY, S Hurdny,Dec. 19,1857
F. D Morgan, Esq. Chairman, Sec :
i Dear Sir: {Circumstance* beyond my con-
I trol compel tno to be absent frout the Antiiver
j vary Dinner of the New England Society, to
! which you have so kindly invited me.
This is a time when we are ali Minnunned to
! recur to first printiples,so gloriously associated
jw• th the early as well as the revolutionary bis
i tory ot New Kngl.nd. It in iy be tiuly said
i that th* Mayfl wet, which bore the Pilgrims t
' the shores of New England, was freighted with
the liberties of the world. On board that im
mortal vessel was framed the social compact
basing nil human government on the consent of
the governed, and carrying it into execution by
the choice of their rulers by their own vote.—
As your fathers landed on your rock-bound
.-bores, there dawned the first taint glimmering
of the great principle of self-govhruiiietu
which rose upon enfranchised humanity it, ail
its meridian splendor, on the 4th of July, 177(5.
Thai great pi incipie of self government is about
being subjected to n J< arfut and, perhaps a final
lest, in an unhappy Western Territory. lr this
principle can be subverted there, and such ati
act ratified by Congress, the Pilgrim Fathers
will have Ended in vain on the shores of New
England: in vain shall its great truths have
been protnulgtted'iti the Deelirntion of Ameri
can Independence, and the blood of the Revo
lution will have bc.cn wasted on a soil where
military and despotic power would soon re
same their sway, under our suicide the free
dom of our country and the world lorever sank,
with its last "bubbling cry," into that great
deep where it slioul 1 remain until "the seas
give up their dead," and man shall answer for
his crimes ai the drebd judgement scat of his
Creator.
As a Pennsylvania, I have no claims by
birth or ance-try on New England, and pre
sume tint for this kind invitation to your anni- ;
versa ry dinner 1 am indebted to my wife, wjto t
is a descendant of the illustrious Huston p: inter !
boy, H'-nj imiu Franklin, in whose principles j
a'nd virtues I have eftdeavered to rear uiy chii- !
dren.
In closing this letter, permit me to transmit i
for the occasion the following sentiment:
SELF GOVERNMENT Whenever it shall be ;
endangered here, let every son of New Eng- j
land, wherever residing, rise as one mats to the !
rescue.
Mo s t respectfully,
your obedient servant
R. J. WALKER, j
ANOTHER REVOLUTION IN MEXICO.—The
telegraph yesterday announced that another 1
Revolution had broken out in Mexico. The -
government of this unfortunate country is so
unsteady and so uncertain that revolutions are j
occurring almost every few months. The la-t
of these revolutionary movements aovnrrod on !
the 17 i)>st. It broke out in the gairisoti oft
Tacubaya, near Mexico, an.l was imbiediately j
followed by similar movements at tho capita], ,
at Vera Cruz, and at other important places. I
It was planned oy President Common fort, and
executed under the orders of General Hacz. It
was nothing more nor less than a coup d'etat, j
worthy of Louis N ipoieon by which the con- j
s'itution nf the country was overthrown, the
Congi ess ami Supreme Court were dissolved,'
and extraordinary powers were Conferred on 1
tFujimori fort as Supreme Dictator; The pro- ;
pie are s-iid to have opposed no resistance, and j
hailed the sueces-ful issue of the movement j
with joy. Several of the ministers re-signed; a i
few arres's of people of distinct ioti were made: I
hut in two days all was quiet again, and i
Cominotifort was firmly established in bis seat.
He was to call together an extraordinary Con
gress, whose business it would he to put things ;
into shape and give route color of popular
sanction to the extraordinary movement that he I
has brought about.
iir-Thc Aflministrut!ou suffered a humilia
tion in the House ol Representatives, on the
day that Cox made his speech. It is thus rela
ted in the Albany Evening Journal :
When lie [Cox] sat down, a raw hand from
Indiana, hv the name of Hughes, replied, and
cloned a rambling discourse by introducing an
amendment highly laudatory of the Me.-sage
and thereon called the previous question, say
ing that "lie wished to bring democrats to the
test." The old managers; I'iielps, Letcher and
Houston, were alarmed. Tellers were aeimtid
ed on seconding the call for the previous ques
tion. A large majority of the democracy had
passed between the tellers—but there was nn
ominous hanging buck, and gie t t deal of put
ting of heads together and running to and fto
through the hall, which ended iu Hughe* with
drawing his amendment. Thus the friends of
the administration did tlot dare to come to a
vote on the proposition, and backed square
out.
INTERESTING STATISTICS FOR 1857.—-FROM
a number of statistics published in the New
York iJ ftl<l we glean the following:
During ihe year 1857 there w.ue 227 funs

The number of lives lost at fi.es this yejr was
158—last ye 183.
Number of steamboat accident this years 30:

COMMON SCHOOLS, NO.. 3.
INSTITUTES, 'DIRECTORS, &o.—The Insti
i tnte is an association of teachers and other
friends of education, who nicer together oeca
j mortally for mutual improvement. They usu
ally exercise themselves in those brauche?
' taught in the schools, so as to become more
perfect; what one does not know, another
1 will. They also discuss the best methods of
j teaching tig* different branches, and also the
best pltin ot conducting the schools. It lias
ien tried in many of the cotin ies'in the State,
and lias been found to be better adapted to
promote teacher* than any other means within
| the reach of alt. The benefit to thcui and
through then to the schools is obvious. All
i /it') teachers feel the gret weight of responsi
bility resting upon tlieiu, and therefore bail
every opportunity of improvement with delight.
They :;c-ed no promptings from any quarter to
attend institutes, for, besides other advantages,
tLey afford the most ample means of genial in
tercourse with their fellow teachers. Hut
such teachers who have no ambition, whose
capacities are limited, who manage their
schools, either not at ail, or by mentis of brute
force; who assign lessons and conduct recita
tions only upon the efforts of a verbal memory,
••without reference to thins and principles;
tvlid teach when fhev Can do nothing else, and
ijnhi only for tiie pay it alien •>; such teachers
wifl studiously avoid '{lnstitute*, u*wi are Uo
wflling to spend either a dollar or a day for
their own improvement, but, as the interests of
education advance, they wi.l naturally be el
bowed out of the ranks, and their places filled
up by the more faithful and competent. Of
course there ate sMue honorable exceptions,
and reasonable excuses will be accepted. There
are two Institutes, the District atn'l the Coun
ty. No district should be without one dating
the school months, and it is gratifying to know
that nearly every district in th'fs county has its
own. And as jt is the Superintendent's duty
to hold the county institutes, it is equally the
duty of teachers to attend them. The above
remarks are applicable to both the couuty aud
district asssfiiutious.
At. the institute held at Bloody Run on the
28th and 29th of last month, only 28 of t.ic
90 teachers embraced in the 'district at'etided.
The meeting was one of considerable inteiest
to the spectators us well as to the teachers. —
Instructions were given in the fundamental
principles of arithmetic, also in grammar, ge
ography, peumutiship, some of the higher
branches of mathematics, and in reading.—
Each teacher also gave u statement of his mode
.of teaching the alphabet, spelling, reading,
writing, at ithtiictic, aud whatever other branch
es were taught i;t his school. This exercise
Was interesting, and also gave to each one an
"opportunity of comparing his mode with that of
others. The wise will ai .rays learn. The
county "Superintendent delivered an aihiiu:* be
fore the Institute to the pnblie in general, on
the iittportance of common school euucatiolt,
and one also to the teachers on the nature ot
their responsibilities. Mr. J. Clarendon Tate,
orfte of tho teacher* pVesottt, also favored the
JtfStitifte with an excellent address on tiie su!>-
of education. Too citizens ot the town
and the diteetois who were present during the
sessions, were ail pleased and profited.
In the discharge of my arduous and respon
sible duties, (for truly I found them to be such)
my hands have beeu strengthened and uiy
heart cheered by the active ami cordial co-ope
ration of many private citizens, of intelligent
teacher.* and of the different boards of tiivect
ors. The latter, especially, in tiiose dis'iicts
where I huY'o been ci-ltiug the schools, have
been hearty iu their assistance. 1 huvo id fat
found them to be intelligent, kind, and acboui
mod tiling; having the interest of the schools at
heart, and always willing to do for lite bcSt as
as far as they know how. Hut I have met
with many who have no copy of the school laws,
and therefore are dependent upon the recours
es of their uwn judgment and the opinidns of
interested parties, as to their duty. In this
way srtitr- mistakes have occurred winch 1 pur
pose tt> mention in toy next number. I expect
soon to receive a supj ly of the school laws and
the State Superintendent's decisions. Those
who have no copy can then be furnished With
one. I hope the directors will allow ail teUch
ers the time to uHeud the county institute.

I'ROF. O. J. WOOD- Dear Sir • Alter read
ing the advertisement in one ot the Net* Yoik
journals, of your celebrated llair Restorative,
1 procured a.hall pint bottle, and was so mucti
pleased with it that I continued its use lor two
months, and am satisfied it is d 'cidediy thc beat
preparation before the public. It at once re
moved all the dandruff and unpleasant itching
troin the scalp, and has restored my hair nat
urally, an 4, X have no doubt, permanently so. :
You htvts permission to <efer tome, all who j
entertain any doubts of its performing all that :

I have used Professor (). J. Wood's Hair
Restorative, an 3 luve admired its wonderful j
effects. It restored luy hair where it hud fallen!
off; it cleans the tie.id. ami renders the hair soli j
and smooth—mach more so than oil.

I have used Professor O. J. Wood's Hair Re-,
atontive, and have admired its wonderful effect.
My hair was becoming, as I thought •premature
ly gray, but by tiie u-o* of the ••Restorative." it
lias resumed its original color, and, I have no
doubt, perniane'tly so.

Among the nutiv preparations now in use for j
the festering, preserving and beautifying the
h.iir, there are none that we can re< omnieiid
with more cdnfidenco than Prof. Wood's Hair
Restorative, now in general use throughout the
States. This preparation possesses the most
iuvigorati.-i qualities, and never tails in produ
cing the most happy results when applied ac
cording to directions. We r fer our readers to
the advertisement for a few of the iunumerabh
certificates which have been sent by parties,
who have been hern fitted by it, and who feel
nappy in giving testimony to its wonderful ef
fects produced ou them..

for ilia I.tcer is st-eomi only 10 the heart in our
human economy, ami when that is deranged the \
whl a vital inacliiuery urns wrong. To flud a
medicine p culiarly adapted to this disease has
been the stilly <i" one of the proprietors, iu H
large ami extended practice liar the ( >as; twenty
years,and the result ol l.is experiment is the
Invigorator, as a uevei-faiiiiig remedy where
tacdicinu has any power to I.elp, As a Liver
Remedy it has DO equal, as all testily who use j
it.
A iady writing from BroukHn, says, "Would ,
that I c.uli express in this short letter the val-
He your invigoralor has been to me in raising
a large family ot children, for it has never lai.-!
Ed to relieve ail attentions of the stomach, bow- j
vis or attacks of worms. If mothers once had \
this remedy placed within their reach, and were |
taught how to use it, a fearful and untold a
uiount of agony ni.gnt lie saved."
One of our prominent banktrs says, "Five or!
six years since 1 found myself running down j
with a liver difficulty j resorting to your invig- '
orator, was greatly relieved, :i"d, continuing
for a season, was entirely restored."
A clergyman called at our office the other i
day and said he had given a poor woman a bot
tle, who was sutleri- g very badly from Liver j
Complaint, and before she hid taken the whole |
ol it she was at work earning bre.d tor her lam- !
ily.
A gentleman, recently from the West, says, j
while at Chicago, be was attacked with a slow, j
lingering i'ev ;r. that baffled the skill of pbysi-|
ci HIS, but the luvigofator cured him ITI a FEW |
days.
One of our city merchants said, while on a
visit to Troy, a lew days since, he was attacked
with bowel nnd stomach disorders, sous to con
fine him to his room, he sent to the drug store ;
for a bottle of Invigor.itor, took one dose, which i
relieved him so that he was able to uttend bis
ousiness.
An acquaintance, whoie bttsincss compels ;
him t" write most ot ti c Unit; say*, he became !
so weak as to be unable at thueS to hold his i
peo, wildi at others, sleep would overpower j
niiu. out tuc in vigoralor euro 1 hiiu-
A gen lainan trom Brooklyn called on us a j
week* or two siiK'e, looking hut the • ndew of a I

ther adds "it saved niy lite, lor 1 was last go- ,

Among tin rfm'ifreds of Lifer Remedies now
offered to the puddle. there arc none we can so
li'liy rec.oiiinfciut as tit'. Smlord's Invigorator,
