If he fail to dismiss bim promptly, and ¢he mew party (which is of Blibustering proelivity,) should remata per- manently in power, and also send on an ambasaador whose claims were not at once rejected by Secretary Marcy and the Executive, tt might not only involve the United States in a war with Costa Rica, “a power with whom weare at peace, ands friendly State,’ but also vith Nicaragua, who is already becoming jealous of th rising, growing power cf the United States. But to return to the subject, Wnen General Mors was hurrying away from Rivas, Virgin Bay and Sa Juan del Sur, scattering those dying of wounds and disease so thickly along in his trat: aa to render the roads impassatle fom stench—filliog up the wells tha lay in his curse with dead bodies, arma avd munitions, and hurrying the starving remaant of his army off upoa two over crowded vessels, on which to make hia escape, it should be fully known, and kept in miad, that Gen, Walker had i: in his power to have fallea upon the res of bis army, and slavghtered the entire remnaat o bis force. Notwithstanding the barbarity and cruelty o Mora toprisoners, as well as unarmed citizens of Ameri- eam origin, massacreing both indiscriminately, and in gold blood, Gen. Walker showed the most noble mind» and merciful magnanimity in thus sparing their lives and refraining from unnecessary bloodshed.” Subsequent to the embarkation of the enemy, their ead bodies daily floated ashore in scores, and it is doubt- fol it three hundred of them survive to reach their homes. Such are tke results of the first lesson of experience taught Costa Rica at the hands of Gen, William Walker end his brave followers, But the end is not yet, Though the enemy has fled from the State {n such sorry plight, there is harder Sight- irg in store for her; and, if she have the courage to stand up to defend herself » hen the war is pressed upon bor own gates end upon the defences of her capitai, many thou- sands more of her sokiiery must and will be made to bite the dust. Costa Rica declared the war and opened the ball. Now, it only remains for her to learn, by aad ex. périence, against whom she declared it; that the exter- mination of Los Americanos ia no play spell ; that war ta ro joke this time, for Costa Rica, at least. Let her be as™ sured at the same time that their Minie dalla will be ro- turned next time; that the majority of Gen. Walker's army love to fight; that they will insist on fighting; tliat no compromises will wipe out an indigaity, and that no diplomatic dodges or grazefu) and plausible apologies, or bypceritical and lying propositions, however livers; their character, will appeace, atay or avert the wrath to ecme. % * * * * * * * The allusion to coffe reminds me that I have further and more definite knowledge concerning the produotire- ners of coffee growing than that communicated in a for- mer leiter. ‘I have taken much patas to collect informa- tion, and I think the following statement will bear oriti- cism, The high price of labor azd prcvisions will be placed in cff.et at Hberal figures, thus: — Clearing Jand, at $20 per acre, 500 as Fencing, to enclote.......se000 0.

Take from this for expenres as much as you please, and it still ‘eaves a princely annua) fortune which endures for a life tim In it any wonder that Ecg’and is so interested in these central States, or that ber citizens owning coffee or cocoa plantations in Costa Rica, as well as the nativos, can afford to live abroad in princely style and float arcund the courts and palaces of Europe? The truth is, Costa Rica coffee is better, richer and finer flavored than its only rival, the Mocha, andis mono policed by the English market, Americans scarcely kaow- ing what it is. Supericr to ccffee, in productiveness, is the cacao, or chocolate. The cacao is not to ve cor fyunied with the cccos, the former producing the chocolate and the latter tte nut by ibat mame. Cacao 1s still more profita>ie than the coffee, by perhaps one hundred per cext, and an orchard of it lasts for a long life time with but little care, It wiil plant five hundred traes tothe acre, and will yield $10 to $30 per tree per annum. ‘Theve Jook like large Sgures; but le@ thore who doubt come ard ree for themseives, remembering that they are the products of @ tropical olime, ao laxuriont that people forget the nrceselty of elther labor or esonomy, and be- come too indolent to attend to either the one or the other, Labor pays best where it meets with the most +peedy and lideral returp, acd here ia that locality.
