By that time the rainy season will be over, an we can open the next campaign.

D. pz Gorcouria. A correspondent of the New York Herald published on Saturdsy last, in connection with the current Nicaraguan emeute, a suc- cinet account of various acts of inexcusable and needless cruelty perpetrated by Walk- er—among them being his treacherous mur. der of Salazar, of whom (long before Walk- er was heard of) all well-informed North Americans knew, from his reputation ag one of the most enlightened, public spirited and truly liberal gentlemen in all Spanish Ameri- en. Unfortunately for him, he conceived the idea that he could benefit his country by in- troducing into it, Walker, with a band of San Francisco ragamuffins at his hee!s; and he accordingly imported W. and his original six- ty-five followers. But we let the New York Mirror (which has taken the trouble to con- dense the Hera/d’s correzpondent’s account of Salazar’s murder) tell the story, as follows: ‘Don Mariano Salazar, was one of the wealthiest, bravest and most accomplished gentlemen Central America, a member of the rich hotse of Solan & Co, of Genoa. He married the beautiful and virtuous sister of Fresident Castellon, by whom he had several children. When Senor Castellon—one of the few men of Central America who could boast of the pure Spanish sangra azu/ in his veins— came to the unhappy determination of em ploying Walker to assist the cause of liberty iu Niearagus, it was his brother-in-law, Senor Salazar, who furnished mearis which enabled General Walker to raise his battaiion in San Francisco, and transport both himself and it to the scene of operations “After this again, when Walker had been foiled in his first mad attempt on Rivas, and when the administration by whom he bad been invited looked coldly on his want of mili- tary prudence, it was to Salazar he turned as bis unshaken friend, and from him received such personal aid and advice as toenable him to continue bis operations. Those operations terminated in temporary victory, and Don Patricio Rivas was nominated President, and ‘iano Salazarto a high official position. ar was faithfully fulfilling the duties . when Walker caused him to be he was crossing the Bay of Fones- ca, on a visit to that family from which he had torn himself in obedience to Walker’s earnest pare andecryforhelp The rest is known. ithout any charges made against him—with- out the examination of a single witness—with- out defence or any form of trial—be was con- demned to instant death, by the man he had sacrificed time, ease and fortune to elevate. The case stands without parallel in the rec- ords of the world. “As Don Mariano was led out into the es- lanade, where his open coffin stood awaiting im, he plucked a large blue flower, of the convolyolus species, and made it his last re- quest to the attending confessor that this blos- som, which he would hold next his heart when dying, should be conveyed to his wife, who was then eagerly awaiting his promised visit in San Salvador, a neighboring and neutral republic The intelligence killed her, poor lady! She tell into a delirious fever on bear ing it, and died in a few days, still holding to her lips the flower which her dying husband sent.”’” Of the manner of men by whom he is sur- rounded, the reader may obtain some idea from the following confession of one of them, not long eince executed by his order for some act of insubordination, if we remember cor- rectly. This confession was published at the time, and we laid it aside for use when the proper time should arrive, as it has now ar- rived: “ I was born (says Lieut. Jennings Estelle,) in Marshall, Tennessee, in the year 1833, and was raised from my infancy in Hinds county, Mississippi. I started to California in 1852. On the road I had a difficulty with . man of the name of Howard, and shot him. I after- wards shot a man of the name of Hays, but the wound did not happen to prove fatal. In the same year I had a difficulty with Charles Robinson, and stabbed bim in three places. My last two difficutties, while in California, EVENING STAR.

The Unson discusses tle New York Trisune in connection with Kansas affairs. The Intelligencer thus discourseth on the composition of the Senate of the United States : “The death of Mr. Clayton has very natu- rally directed attention to the members of the United States Seriate, and to the poi! of fe- niority. Mr. Crittenden, of Kentucky, is now the ‘Father’ of that distinguiched body, ba entered it on the 4th of March, 1817 it be seen, however, on reference to the record, that this now veteran Senator did not exhibit any degree of fondness for the public councils, high as the position of a Senator has ever been considered. He resigned his first term in less than three years, and his succes- sor, the Hon. Richard M. Johnron, was ap- pointed on the 10th December, 1819. (Mr. Crittenden was in in the Senate, his service dating from 3d March, 1835. He again before the end of his term, and his successor, the Hon. James T. Morehead, en- tered the Senate on the 20th February, 1841 Mr. Crittenden then succeeded Mr. Clay, who had on the 2ith Februapy, 1842, and eontinued until the 3d of March, 1849. He was elected Governor of Kentucky, but re- Nnquished that trust in July, 1350, to enter Mr. Fillmore’s Cabinet as Attorney General Mr. Crittenden’s present term commenced with the 3d of March, 1355, making his whole service about cighteen years. ** The Hon.

He is now in his thirdterm The Hon Lewis Casa com- menced with 4th March, 1845, and resigned in 1848 when nominated for the Presidency. He is in bis second term, which wil! be closed on the 3d of Mareb, 1857 ; c « None of the other Senators now in service date further back than 3d Mareb, 1845 The seniors stand thus: Mr. Bright, of Indiana, 4th March, i845; Mr. Yulee, of Florida, July 21, 1845; Messrs.

December llth, 1848; and Mr. Seward, of New York, 4th March, 1549 “This exhibits more than the usual number of comparatively new Senaters, vut most of them have had legisiative experience in other public bodies.”’ oe WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP Ricaragua.—In yesterday's Star we took occasion to refer briefly to the expose of Walk- er’s policy and acts which bas rezulted from the current quarrel of some of bis agents and partigans in New York city. We regret that a want of space prevents us from spreading the entire articles, word fur word, before the Scar's readers. They involve a triumphant justifi- cation of the course we have felt it te be our duty to pursue with reference to Walker and his plans since the beginning of his unsuccessful raid into the territory of our nearest neighbor on our zouthern flank—Mexico. We conceived that we saw in what originally developed of his schemes 2a entire disregard of any other interest whatsvor than that of carving out for himself the throne of a despot, and a deter- mination to resort to every species of violence, cruelty and fraud, and, indsed, to the perpe- tration of any crimes appearing for the nence likely to further his selfish perzonal ends. Under such circumstances, we steadily set our face against bis cause, and, so far, have seen mo reason to regret having done so. Below we make a few extracts from the pub. lieations to which we 1efer above, which, toge- gether, present a daguerreotype of his pur- poses, his acts, his precent position and condi- tion in Nicaragua, and of the fortunes of those Americans who have allowed themselves to be seduced into entering his service. Thuson the 1th of January lest he consummated the fol- lowing agreement with the noted Cuban Filli- buster, Goicouria, without the aid of whose money, we apprehend, be would long since have exploded : ‘ CONTRACT. “ General William Walker, Commander-in- Chief of the Army of Nicaragua, is willing to form the following agreement with Captain F A.

Twice I bad been forgiver, and hope to te forgiven for them ali. I think there is a God in heaven that will and can forgive, and He knowe and I know, that it was uot I that Lill- ed Cheries Gordon. It was whisky and my crazed mind that did it, I say that I was not in my rigkt mind when I did the deed, and God knows it| Forgive me, officers and su] diers, and I can die a happy man.” We conclude this grave subject for to-day, with the fullowing brief synopsis of the fate and condition of the Americans who have joined Walker, which we cull from a New York city exchange’s comments upon the cur- rent controversy : “It appears from the official statements in El Nicaraguense, Walker's newspaper organ, that within the last fourteen month: he has received from the United States a little over 4,100 recruits. Of these, 144 are reported as having been killed in battle. Walker's whole force on the Ist of November, including the last arrival of 325 men from New Orleans, under Col. Jacques, was, by the retarns, only 1,275 men, leaving about 2,700 to be accounted for. The discharges made by Walker are very few, aad only of those absolutely inca- pacitated for service by wounds or sickness, except now and then one who has been able to muster the ineans to purchase his release from this degrading and dangerous servitude. A certain number have attempted to run away, but this is too perilous for many to ven- ture upon; and even (bose who succeed jn escaping the vigilance of their master rgn great risks ot perishing miserably of starvs- uon or sickness before they cun meke their way home. With the most ample allowance thep for discharges and runaways, it is rea- sonable jo conclude that more than 2.000 young men frog: Walker's ranks have perished from the disorders #sg the climate since Walker undertook his Gllibusierjng conquest of taat country.” We have but a word more to eay to-day in fe connection, and that is to entreat our Souther readere to ponder upon the facts Grouped atove, and then to ask themselves whether as christifins or patriots or true de- fenders of the rights and interests of their own section of the confederacy, they are disposed to identify the cause of the South with Walker, his public exploits, schemes and acts as a nan? If such southern men there be, it would be well for the fature of the South that they shou!d be every one of them provided with straight jackets. An Exampie To Be Followed.—Twe regent detee:ion and arrest of Falconer, the treasurer and clerk of the Petersburg aud Roanoke (Weldon) Railroed Co, for peculatien upon his trust has hardly been announced in distant Firstly—Gereral William Walker pledges his word of honor that he will assist and co- vuperace with bis various resources, such as men and others. in the cause of Cuba, and in favor of her liberty. after having conevlidated the peace anu the government of the Kepublic of Nicaregas —? . Seeondiy—General William Walker pro- pores end admits the understanding that the water nd pecusiary resources of Nicara- gue ell as those which are in the posses- sion of tLe revolutionary party of Cuba, ehall be amalgamated togetber, making common eause together, for the purpose of overthrow - ing the Spanish tyranny ia the isiand, and of insuring the prosperity of Centra! America, identifying thereby the interests of both coun- tries. Thirdly—General Walker requires a fall exposition, manifestation and explanation of the resources belonging to the caase of Cubs, us likewise a detailed statement and list of the military and marine forces, a Il ag the re- maining rercurces of the bpanish Government in the istand of Cubs. Fourthly—Capt F.A Laine, having taken into consideration the contents pf the three foregoing erticies, agrees to and pe ay the eontents of the said three articles, only as a preamble of a contract to be made upon a more solid basis, by the parties interested ; and therefore binds himself by his word of honor to keep this agreement until be chail have fuller powers for its final arrangement And, having drawn out two papers of the same tenor, in eorroboration of this we affix our signatures, in the Independent State and Re- blic of Nicaragua, this day, January 11, 856, Wy, Wavegn. #.

The destruction of the government of the United States, simply ax a means of building up & government for himself with despotic powers, Wus one of his aims, as will be plainly pereetved from the following letter from him, written to Goicuria as late as the 12th of Angus leet : Signed Grandpa, Aug. 12, 1856 My Dean Gesznav: I serd your creden- tials for Great Britain by General Cazeneau. ‘They are ample, and will be, I hope, not with- out result fi you cas — negotiations with England and secure for Niearagua the port of San Juan del Norte, you will effect a great object It will be a long step towards our end. Without San Juan del Norte we lack what will be in the end indispensable to us—a naval force in the Carribbean sea The com- mercial consequences of this possession are nothing io comparison with the naval and po- Jatieal results With your versatility, and, if I mey use the term, adaptability, I expect much to be done in England th See = do more — any American could pessibly accomplish, au you can make the British cabinet see that ‘are not engeged im any scheme for amnexa- You can make them ree that the only way to cut the expanding and expensive de- mocracy of the north is by a powerful and quarters of the country ore we have news of his trial, conviction and sentence to two years confinement in the penitentiary (State's prison) ef the State of Virginia, at Richmond. In view of the fact that the staple of one half the newspaper comments of the North is the short- comings of Southern society, we beg them to put this item in their pipes and smoke it—to reconcile it to the state of things which, in their self-sufficient ignorance, many of the Northern newspaper conductors believe in as existing at theSouth. We know well that ex- cept in cases of injury to life and limb, grow- ing out of sudden quarrels or fights, both law and justice are more inflexibly executed by Southern juries than by any other in this country, and, more especially, by those of South Carolina. But this Virginia case affords an example that may be very profitably treasured at the North. Indeed, such acts as those of Falconer are rarely brought to trial there, and more rarely punished. While they are of almost daily occurrence at the North, as far as we know Falconer’s actisthe first case of the kind that has occurred in the his- tory of the management of railroads in a slaveholding State. International Copyright.—The American Publishers’ Association (New York) at a late meeting, passed the following resolution : “Resolved, That in the opinion of this Asso- ciation it would be highly desirable to the in terests of literature and the book trade, that an International Copyright Law should be passed, with such stipulations and restrictions as would secure, mutually, a just and equita- ble protection to the mechanical interests in- volved in the question, both here and in Eu- rope” Though it may be quite important, so far as American publishers’ interests are concerned, that Congress should enact their proposed In- ternational Copyright law, to the great mass of American readers the case is very different indeed. A more glaring proposition to protect the interests of a certain class in the commu- nity, at the expense of all others, could not be brought forward. Its adoption would be di- rectly in the teeth of the current of popular Sentiment upon the doctrine of ‘ protection fur the sake of protection.’? We have noidea that Congress wil! gratify Messieurs—the Pub lishere’ Asscciation. - Examine the Poll Lists!—We call the at tention of our Washington readers to the az- sessment (poll) lists which have recently been posted in various piaces throughout the city, as the law requires. We hear that a large number of names of old residents and Louse- keepers have been omitted. we take it for granted by accident. It is most important to all who are entitled to vote here at the next election to inspect the list, each for his own Ward. Those finding their names omitted can have the error rectified by the Board of Assessors, who will commence their sessions about the middle of next week. Those of the omitted wh. neglect to attend to this matter will find themselves deprived of their votes next June, though they may have been born in Washington, and have been voters and housekeepers here for twenty years past.
