- THE CENTRAL' AMEBIC AH WAR.
i- Br the arrival of the steamer. George Law,
at New York, last week, intelligence oi an im
portant character has been received from Nic
aragua and Costa Kica. An engagement took.
place on the 2-iith ult., - between 400 ol Gen
Walker's troops, under the commaud cf Col.
Scblessinger, and about 500 CostaKica troops,
under Gen. Mora, President of that State, by
which the latter obtained a decisive victory
over the former, completely routing the Nica-
ragnau army, killing many aud taking some
prisoners, nineteen (?) of whom are reported
to have been bhot by order . of Gen. Mora.
the latter, in ins oiueiai dispatches, gives a
rather glowing, and, wo suppose, exaggerated
account of 4he fight, stating that "the carnage
was terrible,' and that only "fifteen minutes
elapsed when the enemy fled, scattered, panic
stricken, without their urms, almost dead with
thirst, in a place where water is not found, ex
cept at a lake on the side occupied by his
troops, routed and pursued by his brave feb-lowt-i
whose wish to exterminate them was not
satisfied, Many were killed on the iield ; olh
rs wandered, wounded, toward the mountains
and twelve were takeu prisoners." Gen. Mora
contemplates, it is said, invading Nicaragua.
and for this purpose the principal army, com
posed of about 000 men, have taken up their
march for the frontier, and orders were issued
to increase the army to 0000 men, and to raise
funds to prosecute the war, which is said to be
very popular: with tho people, who arc dai
voluntarily enlisting.- ...
If those accounts of the defeat of. Walker's
army are correct, it places him in a very un
.enviable position. Having seen fit, by his fil
libusteriog acts, to sunder his connection, as
a citizen, with our government, and invade a
neighboring State, with which we were a
peace, Jie cannot tuk the protection of, or even
seek a refuge in, the United States ; and else
whare he will only be looked upon as an out
law and a pirate, and treated accordingly
Unless tho same surprising good fortune which
-enabled hin to successfully invade Nicaragua
bhould cling to and extricate him from the dif
ficulties aud disnsters which Kiirround him, hi
career as a conqueror is at an end.
Tho invasion of Costa Kica was certainly an
iil-adviecd movement. That he had comjuer
td and subdued a province, is true enough
but sufficient time had not clapsud since tho in
vasion and. subjugation to place his govern
ment upon a sure footing. Everything con
tnectcd with it was in an incipient state no fi
nancial resources of any considerable amoun
,at hand, aud no reserve troops to call into re
liuisition iu the event. of defeat. Under such
circumstances, it cannot hi regarded in auy
othcr light than as an act of madness for him
to hazard a battle, when he must have known
that a defeat would not merely involve the de
struction of his army, but that it would forever
di;.pcl every hope of his establishing perma
nently au independent government, of which
, be was to be tho great presiding genius.

OrkGOX. The present aspect of ludian hos
tilities in Northern and Southern Oregon .and
Washington Territory, the "Oregon Times'
says, luoks anything but flattering. There is
a gloomy aspect pervading the future fortunes
of the Whites. The hostile hordes In the
Walla-Walla vaciuity are bidding usdeti.iuce ;
yet it is hoped that Colonel Cornelius will be
able, with his C00 volunteers, to route this
combiualiou. Though a bloody contest is look
ed for, and the numlers unequal w e have
strong hopes that the brave volunteers may be
as successful as in the four days' fight in De
cember. The Willamette Valley is about the

A Great Citv tx Central ArmcA.-Mr.

last April to Ilorrin, the capital of the Kingdom

ho has seen. ' He dcseritcs' the inhabitants as
a peculiar people, with whom lib was much

They are sometimes ealled white black men."

a stream of liquid Java is flowing from its cra

a distance of seventy miles, filling gulches

gence that the treaty of peace was signed at .

The declaration of peace was announced in
England and France by salvoes of artillery.

' The Paris "correspondent of ' the' London
Times says, a council of Ministers' "was held at

Slst (Monday.) Lord Palmerston said, In re
ply to a query, that although the tteaty'of
peace was signed, yet it was determined by the
Conference that'. tlio particnlar conditions be
not made public until the .ratifications' 'were'
exchanged." At the' same time he would ex
press his canvictibu. that. the treaty wonld be
deemed "satisfactory1 ijy England and by Eu
rope. 1 It would be found ."that the objects for
which this war was undertaken lias been fully
tccorcplished," arid it would bo found that tho
integrity and' independence of the Turkish
Einp'ive had been secured. ,' Tho treaty, he
said, was creditable to all the 'contracting Pow
ers; and while, on the one hand, it has put an
eud to the war," which every friend of huMani-
ity must have naturally wished to see conclud
ed, -on the other hand, it will lay the the foun
dation of a peace which 1 c trusted would be
lasting and enduring.
. On Monday the Lord Mayor of London made
Lis ofiicial proclamatiou of peace from the por
tico of the Mansion House, and afterwards at
the Exchange.' "Salutes v.tre' fired from the
Tower and the Park guns, and flags were gen
erally displayed throughout the city and upon
the shipping;. In other cities similar displays
were made, but there was not much enthusi
asm shown. . .
When the, news of the treaty of peac! was
taken to the Emperor Louis Napoleon, he ex
pressed himself .to the, following effect : II
thanked the Plenipotentiaries for having come
iu person to hiniwith such agreeable tidings
He observed that the result of their labors dur-
iug the Conferences, was a complete realiza
tion-ofthe speech delivered by Lord Claren
don, i:i the House of Lords, and that the peace
which the Allies were determined on conclud
ing, was one which carried with it no humilia
tion to liussia, and which did uot compromise
the dignity, or independence of any one. It
was in fact ,such a treaty ast a great natiou
.might propose to accept without degradation,
and therefore, ILliid all the elements of solid
ity and durability. He added that so favora
ble a result w,v in a great measure owing to
the conciliatory spirit and moderation -which
marked the poliey of England, and which w as
particularly feit in the course of tho present
Conferences. -
Cuis.v. Tho China Mail says, that afire
broke out at Macao on January 4th, and another
the following night which, between them,
destroyed the greater portions of the Chinese
part of the town, the number of houses burned
being, at the' lowest estimate', over 1,.'500, and
the property destroyed upward of $1,000,000.
The llonz-Kong Regis! er says $2,000,000.
The first fire commenced in the neighborhood
of the house occupied by the Chinese Hoppo,
before that functionary, with his Ctistom
Houso officers, was expelled by Governor
Awarcl, and. spread to the eastward along the
Matapao, destroying the whole of the market,
until by great exertions on the part of the
crews of the French ships of war Virginia and
Constantino,' it was stopped near the resideneo
of the late Mr. Pal va, close to the Portuguese!
Cu.stoui-Housc. The second fire occurred in
a place known as the Rna do Botelho, Pria Po
quena, in some houses and boats surrounded
by a high wall, the gate of which is locked ev
ery night." The consequence was, the inmates
had no. means of egress, and It is reported that
one hundred mcu, women and children wero
smothered in the flames.' --
Sagacity of a Doa. One of the most aston
ishing instances of the sagacity of a- dog, which
ever carao to our knowledge, transpired, lately
at Tiov, N. Yi The Messrs. Strand, tobacco
nists, No.2 Congress street.closed their store
one night,leavmg. their favorite Newfoundland
inside. In the morning, on opening the store,
the floor in the back room was found to be on
lire, and the dog was laboring with his fore feet
aud'inouth, trying to subdue it. A pail of wa
ter, which stood in the room, had been poured
down thi hole. Tho faithful animal had so
nncets(fully combatted the ire, as to prevent
its spreading beyond a spot two or three feet
square. How long the noble fellow had .stood
sentinel and fought down the advancing flames,
can only be conjectured it must have been
several hours. . His feet, legs and mouth were
badly burned, and it is feared he is seriously
injured internally by inhaling tho hot air. lie
refuses food, and is apparently in much pain.
Ho' if worth his weight in gold, and inayt -safely
be pronounced the noblest of his racg,
Tiik liock Islauder of the ilSth ult., states

of Michael Wyugert, for the murder of has

of her could be found, and the statement of the

of course, was totally ignorant of the charge of!
