February 14, 1557. SATURDAY .. "THE WEEKLY STAR Look out for our weekly issu of to day ——EE SPikIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Unson says of the bill introduced into the House of Representatives by Hon. Thos. B. Florence, “to equalize the army, navy, and marine pensions :”’ “So far as we bave observed, there hes been a general expression of opinion in favor of a revisal Of our pension laws, to reduce the many scts now on the statute-books to a gen era! and perfect system, which shall treat all branches of the public service with equal and exact justice. There can certainly wee — reason wh: eater liberality in granting - sions thal = extended to one branch of the service to another; each imperil their lives and health in defence of their country, and each deserve equal rewards.” The Uvroz, in reference to the Jntelligen- coc’s article (noticed in yesterday's Star headed ‘‘A Fillibuster Inuendo Refated,”’ says ; “ The Intelligencer ite right in expresr- ing the opinion that the shameless insinuaticn of Mr Fabens’s counsel did not require con- tradiction. The alleged letter which just’- fied the charge, though repeatedly called for, has not been produced, and cannot be, for the simple reason that it never had existence.’’ The Intelligencer bas a communication upon the Submarine Telegraph from a ger- tleman of high intelligence, who suggests as a telegraph rival to those which it is not impos- sible may, ata future day, be exclusively in the hands of an enemy, a line startiog from the island Oueseant, «ff the western point of France, and running t> Boston or New York. Says the writer: ‘* It is liable only to the ebjection of greater length, and the writer of this article is very sure that if those now advocated may be laid down, that also can be laid down. The Gulf Stream would rot be entered. The line would run to the Grand Bank of Newfoundland at any éclected ce frow the shore, on such depthe of water as might be preferred. Lieut. Maury’: chart of the Atlantic shows th aple need proef. It is Grand Bank to the ich would not be met in e of the same channe!. he same plateau is common toboth The line from Boston the Grand Bank i: Simplest and easiest part of the reute Vessel from the United States could anckor upon the Grand Bank and hold on to the «nd of the eabie without trouble, and sail for her consort from the east The end of the cable ine shoal water could, if wished. be buoyed and picked up when convenient. There is not negative evidence even to chow that the dif- ference of length would interfere with the paseage of the electric current.”’ > + oe WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. Toeir Fate —It will be recollected that up to the recent departure of the Tennessee, loaded down almost to her gunwales with more deluded victims cf Walker's schemes some eight thousand had preceded them from San Francisco, New York, and New Orleans. The last news from that quarter show that all remaining in Nicaragua numbered not more thea 600—450 under Walker's immediate command, and 159 at San Juan del Norte, under one Lockridge. At most, 400 have ree turned alive to the United States. most of them with destroyed constitutions. So Nicaragua has already preved the final resting place of w:az 7,000 out of the 8,000 poor creatures from the United States, who have thus permitted themselves to be uved to carry uut the schemes of murder, robbery and arson of a little band of specu!ators who through various araguan epeculations— whose mere Butcher-in-chief Walker is—butch- ering, 28 the reliable correspondence sho the men seduced t> “emigrate” from this country with a: little compunction of con- science az he;manifes.< in butchering the mer» women and children he professes to be seek- ing to liberate. That the whole thing ia a money-making speculation is apparent to all, for the names of all concerned in trying to bolster his cause in this country nnd to send him fresh supplies and fresh vietima, are quite as familiar to the public through newspaper acecunts of lands, mines and steamboat epec- ulations in Nicaragua. Under auch circum- stances the public, of course, place a just esti- mate upon the character of the patrictism— the desire ‘c spread American principles and Axerican dominion—which is the plea upon which it is sought to justify the act of delud- ing the dcomed me m the United States to their fate. The following extract from a Nicaragua letter, crigiaally published in the New York Tribune, exemplifies w' fe fideli- ty the result of “ emizgra agua and tells the tale of that 7,000 of the 5.009 late emigrants to Nicaragua no longer acswer to their namo: at Walker’s roll- call. «Twill now give you an account of thecor- dition and treatment of the sick and wounded in Nicaragua In company with a friend I visited, while at Virgin Bay, the bospizals in thattown. We first visited the Transit Com- papy's buiidicg, cituated immediately upon the shore of Leke Nicaragua. The lower pari of the building. which was formerly devoted to patsengers’ baggage, was filled with the tick and wounded. They were stretched on the floor, and as we passed through this wretched crowd, lying unattended and appa- rently uncared for, ere strongly appezied to for water. They ged us to tell the ser geant to bring them water. Passing up the to the upper part of tke build- d the back room, furmerly oceu- agent, Juize Cortlandt Cushing, whostfew months *go fell a victim to the fever Three young-!ooking men, officers of Walker’s army, were lying on the floor without blankets or pillows, eick with cholera and fever. One of them I recognized az Capt. Walters, of New York city, whe said to me: ‘I am meat dead I have eaten nothing for six days; 1 know i ean't live, but if you should ever reach New York, see wy brother-in-law. Alderman Pur- ser, and tell him to warn the Young men of New York not to come to this c suntry, for two months since I came down with oue bundred young wen, and they arc ali dead.’ My friend and 1 attended to bis wants as far as our lim- ited weans would allow, but next morning we learned that be was no more ‘Ip another corner of the apartment lay Capt. Sammies, of the riffes, a survivor of the expedition to Cesta Rica under Col scble:- Singer last March, oply four of whom were now left We found bim in the same condi- fering from starvation and fever The £ St. George bad been fea ty of the enemy from bringing fo d ‘be town of Virgin, and the females pes ne to 25 lashes on the bare back elr return, when detected in carrying fod to Walker's scldiers ila aig Auiering one cf the adjoining rooms for- ae, cceupied by the clerks of the old Tran- of Wate sy, We saw lying on a high bed one « « ers et in a nude stat Catien bad er -ued constantly Crying for water him all the assistauce in our power, and left im knowing that his troubles would e0on end pty areca room we found a young man who ~ been wounded by a musket ball through side. He was sitting upon the bare floor, | poultice being obtainable. With a promise of | as | mise | not he on such a hard place, his back was so with his back ped against the wall. He was in the suns negion state, without a upon We visited several other rooms, and found men in the same wretched condition, surrounded with filth, alive with maggots, the tench of which was intolerable. “ Passing into the front office, we found five or six young men stretched upon the bare floor. One of them had received a ball rag the cheek, and in answer to our inquiries, he stated that he had got nothing to eat for three days except a banana a native woman gave him; that he could not eat beef, as the mus- cles of his face were badly torn. He said bis face needed dressing, and on examination we found the wound highly inflamed ; it had not been dresved for several days, no mat 1 for tance we left the poor fellows in their Ty. ‘ ‘We next passed across the street to what was formerly the California Hotel. In the front room, formerly the bar-room, we fc und the floor strewn with the sick and wounded, and in acorner we observed a mat, sprereedy covering a body. Upon inquiring of a soldier who stood near the entrance what was under it, he answered, a sick man. Gently raising it, we found that the sick man had been dead several hours. Upon the coonter of the bar lay a young man in the last stage of fever, covered as usual with filth, who said he could sore On carefully raising him, we discovered that his entire back was raw with sores, upon “which the maggots were feeding. Death soon put an end to his sufferings. . “(In the upper part of the building were me 50 or 60 young men in the same neglect- ed-condition as I have before described Im- mediately opposite were the quarters of Com- pany A, of the infantry. At the parade on the day previous it had mustered five men, all that remained of the original sixty that com- posed it Upon the floor of this building, the east side of which was open to the lake braez>, we found five or six young men, the heads of two or three of whom were propped up by sticks of wood to catch the breeze; not a blan- ket among the whole; they were all in the last stages of cholera and fever. Back of tho building, in one of the company’s wagons, we found the sergeant in nearly a dying con: tion, who stated that he had been taken sick four days before, and that be could get no one to bring him a cup of water. We carefully removed hig into the bu g, where death put an end to his sufferin, . ‘*We then visited the adjoining building, which was devoted to the Commizsary’s de- partment, under Major Baker. There we tound Mr. Curry, formerly of Walker's army, who had by his indefatigable exertions, in spite of the enemy, visited the Soe pantt ranches and obtained cattle until prostrate: | by fever He stated to us that but for him the wkole population of the town would have been in a starving condition ; tut row, when sick, not one of his comrades would bring him a cup of water, and he had Jain two days with- out food We administered to his necessit es, and a day or two afterward learned that be was convalezcent ‘‘The next building we visited was oo.u- pied by a company of infavtry, under com mand of Lieutenant Grifin, who, though cuf- fering from fever, was still on duty, aud the officer of the day, being compelled, in conse- quence of the desperate state of affairs, to re main at his post. This Pua was formerly occupied asastore by Mr Wood, of Grey- town. In the upper part wo found two young men, the lastof eeven recruits thatcame down two weeks before from Cal:furnia, one a French suldier from Algiers, and the other one of Jack Hays’ Texas Rangers, both euffering from fever, phy 3 been expesed onthe Isthmus under Gen. Hornsby’s command, in his sttack en the barricades. It was mainly owing to finding a way to the barracks in the resr of the enemy that Hornsby made his brilliant flank movement, and drove tho Costa Ricars before him. In a tew hours only one of these yourg men, the French ecldier, wes left “We next passed over to the building for- merly called the United States Hotel, which was uow the general apothecary department of the army. We found in the front revm two ants dealing out medicine In front of the counter ley two dead men, and on our asking why they were not buried (cbeir bodies having been there several hours) were told that it was owing to the neglect of the officer in charge of that department. The benches and pavement were filled with the cick Suid & young man, whose hand had been shattered by a musket bali, as he removed the bandage, “What shall I do with this?”’ On examiva tion, we found the wourd alive with maggots, and wyriads of dies were hovering over it There wes nothing as usual, with which to make a poultice. Another stepped up to us and exhibited his forearm, which had been wounded by a Minnie ball passing through it. On removing the covering, we found that mor- tification bud Jeath soon relieved both these pour fellows from their suffering “The back rvom (formerly the dining-room) was strewn with the sick and dying, some of whom were almost in a nnde state, delirious with fever, or in 2 collapsed state of cholera In the corner lay three dead men, whose bodies, we were told, they could not get buried, Near the back door lay an I woman upon the bare pavement with a bundle of rags un- der her head, surrounded by three children from two to eight years of age—emrgrants to Nicaragua! Two of thechildren were naked, their clothes probably having been removed by the mother, while able, on account of the filth. They were all three suffering from cholera We endeavured to rouse the mother, bat found her delirious and insensible. In an opposite corner lay «n American woman with two children, the mother suffering from fever and the children from cholera. In six hours thereafter, with the exception of a son of the ish woman, mothers and children were all I we passed out of this room, Dr. Callom. the surgeon in Walker's army, met us and showed us through the upper part of the building. U front piazza lay two dead men exposed to the sun, who had crawled out there to die. Though they had lain there sore ter, hours they were still unburied Dr C. stated to us thai, owing to the want of ar- reo and nouriehinent, medicine was of very little use, in which opinion we cvincided, The surgeons in Walker’s army, as a body, are a noble set of men, and have done all in their power, with the limited means at their command, to relieve the sick and suffering ” The Electoral Vote of Wisconsin — The recent debate upon the question of counting the electoral vote of Wisconsin—the electoral college of that State having been prevented from meeting and acting on the doy appointed in the law, by storms —is so replete with inter- es, as well as importance to the future of law and constitution, as that we regret the want of epace in which tospread it before the Star’s readers. In our julgment, it was clearly demonstrated that it was wrong to receive and count the vote in question, and it is to be hoped that the protests entered by the oppo- nts of their reception will serve to prevent a recurrence of delays on the part of electors enywhere to leave their respective homes to discuarge the sacred responsibility devolved accidents from flood, or any ‘ther such cause. It is hardly possibe that the subject will “gan come up for cons@erat'on by ‘he pres- ent Congress, which seems to be a: a loss to know how to dispose of it.
