THE NEW YORK HER WHOLE NO. 17389. IMPORTANT NICARAGUA REVELATIONS, an MAJOR HESS’ REPLY TO GEN. GOICOURIA. Strictures on Gen. Walker's Military Movements, SHARP LETTER FROM MR, EDMUND RANDOLPH, Another Communication Relative to Gen. Goicouria's Expedition, &o., ko, MAJOR HIESS’ REPLY TO GEN. GOICOURIA, TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD. New Yours, Noy. 21, 1856. The publication of a correspondence between Gen. Walker and Gen. D. de Goicouria, in the New York Heratp of this date, renders it proper, from my connection with Nicaragua, that I should undertake a reply to it, and enlighten the public to some ex- ‘tent as to the motive of such an exposé on the part of Gen. Goicouria. I wili not attempt to enter into all the particulars relative to the many embarrassing questions which bave arisen in Nicaragua, but I will endeavor to exhibit the position and course of Gen. Giocouria in Nicaragua, as an employé of the old Accessory Transit Company. His letters bear evidence that his motives have not been exelusively of a patriotic character, if, indeed, he has not been acting for the interests of others at the sacrifice of a great priuciple. Tn his communication to Gen, Walker, of July 21, ‘he says:— ‘The concession made to the Randolph Company is a bindrance and impediment to tbe taterior commerce of ‘the country, cepecially from ‘b> claase by which it is pro. vided that no one shall have the liberty of usisg steam &o. nay mm on the lakes and rivers of Nicaragua except esaid compan! such & grant is opposed to pria of commercial Iiherty whica [ belleve to be neces- sary and suitable for Nicaragua. It mgbt, however, be remedied by grantivg the gai! company only the exclu- tive privilege of carrying pam pgers by steam acrose the to the Pacidc ocean, not prauting them other ivilege, Thus the commerce of the lakes and rivers would be le‘t tree both for freight and passen- fm all other cases. I have only lately learned that a commissioner had arrived with the object of concluding a treaty with your Excelieucy upon the right of transit for the river, &c. Isbouid (eel it deoply if you, sir, bad concinded a trea- ty without having given we the opportusity of Communi. cating with other individuals wte are algo desirous of taking part in that undertaking Iu order that you may not forget the benetits which Nicaragua may derive from Rier possessions and natural a'vaniages, especially wita d to the river San Jaan, { sha pot in writing for your Excellency what I seeeey ro have stated to you verbally in couversation a! Granada. On the first of August he again writes to Gen. Walker os follows:— I foe myself bound to write to you concern!» this matter of the Transit, inasmuch as I Peaily did not inink tuat sucu ¢ vital and’ most {mportant business, espeoiaiiy for you, tir, would be made a subject of individual goin ‘@nd proiit to the injery of so many other luterested par Sieawho baye upitea themreives with you in a work ‘which bas so greatly elevated you ia the eyes of the Stvilized world. I will therefore be {rank, aad tell you ‘what has taken place in ‘relatiou to this business, ‘Mr. Raudolph made proposals to Mr. Vanderbilt that he whould give up for the sum of $50,000 tue privilege ot ‘Transit and other contracts which he, Mr. Raudolph, considered to be wortn $60.00. He proposed that he sbould receive the sum cilered, in shares, or in some other more expeditious way. This lwge demand of com penra. ion caused tha. no alrang: ment coaia be made he underiaking in question witn the ouly party who ould, ai the moment, give you transp and upples somediately to carry out your pian of regenera- ion. 1 hastened to Mr. Raadotph to ascertain if this impor- tant business bad bern settled; I discovered that it was; that the privilege bad been sod 10 Garrison, who bad given up half sbare to Morgan This gave me much ourprise, because Laiways thought bat having ec gaged a!) your property with the aucieut company, it was ou who had setilea tl ater with the persons who 4 made the purchase « jaye ago.

Ths mancuvre wes tbo occasion of some persons bere sa: ing that you bad @ suare in the business, an assertion waich I telt myeeif bound to deny indig- aptly. “Although it ig true that these two persons who haye fakew the codertaking are wee! men, and well ac- quainted with this sort of business, it is the opinion of 2 who take great interest in your success, aud ‘whom I bave consuited on the subject, tuat these gentle.

On the 20th of August, Gen. Walker writes to Gen. Goicouria :— You will please not trouble yourself farther about the ‘Transit Company, The matter is dotinitely settled. As to anything about Mr. Randolph, it ts onurely throwa awny on me. The boat Is working so med that ! can hardly write, Dut ib \« @ matter of great iwportunce to yourselt that Fou should bave the poitco have given you. As the government bas given you no power, you camnot, of pourse, promise anything in fis beball. Notwithstanding theze instructions from Cen. Walker, Gen. Goicouria continued to press this sub- pon him, to bis great annoyance. Lt resulted a failure, avd revealed his totives. But my Prircipal object ts to show thet he was not to be satisfied with a mere newspiper publication, aod that there was a much deeper echeme in contempla- fiou. my vistt to Nicaragna in September last, atinfied thal Gen. Walker did not regacd jcou ia a4 friend, and other circunstances have since troaspired which, ia my judgment, ju ‘tified ban in tha) conclasion.

Fxcuse me, therefore. when I tay that I am quite glad to hear that you wil nominate another person ag minister to England. This letter alone would have justified General Waiker in dropping Goicourna’s name from the army rell, if nothing had transpired to authorize such an act previously ; but my oiject is not to enumcrate General Gocouria’s autece “ants, but to investigate = intentions since he wrote to General Walker as follows : i cannot now, in aay way whatever, continue my con- nection with you. Was the expedition which he to Mr. Morgan, some on after the letter of the 25th was penned, intended for the benefit of General Walker or nots That is the question. Or was it the inten- tion of Gexeral Coicourta to act towards General Walker inthe same manner as he intended to act TO) towards the owners of the steamship El Dorado, viz pags the parties to accompl his own euds? General Goicouria had not communicated any of his plans tome. Cn the con! » even in my con- versation with him—even while he was making ar- rapgements for this mye Teg expressed the opinion that General Walker did not want mea, but been he Arise seosar. He ee ome Lie Mor- gan telegraphic despatel m New leans stating that : large number of men would be ia readiness to leave thet city at an ory date; and tae question now was, what course should be pursued in the matt: r. Even if this movement was intended with the best motives, J was ratisfied that an independent expedi- tion to Honduras, or any of the ot! Central American States, would no; meet with the approba- tion of General Walker. It would immediately array the hostility of the United States and Great Britain against pb pe and they would, no doubt, take decided steps to prevent it, ax wellasto prevent be further emigration to Nicaragua. ly suspicions as to the intent of the expedition were fully aroused, and [ could not believe otherwise than that it was hostile to General Walker. Generai Goicouria bad commonicated to some few friends of perp see what he was doing, but always represent- ed to them that bis purpose was to advance the canse of Geners] Walker. As the steamer El Dorado was named in connec- tion with the matter, aud as I bad some frieuds con- nected with the company to whom this steamer be- longed, I considered it the best policy to communi- cate with them on the sabject ; and fortunately, Col. A. G. Sloo, and his trustee, Elwood Fisher, ksq., were both in the city. In my interview with Mr. Fisher, he informed me ‘that the terms for the charter of the El Dorado had been agreed upon, but that it had not been completed, nor could it be until he signed it as trustee for Col. Sloo. I frankly gave him m4 rea- sons for objecting to the chartering of the Ef Dora- do, and I believe be immediately eutered a protest, refusing to sign the charter for said veeeel. interview, I thick, occurred on the 6th inst., and on the 10th I bad an interview with M. 0. Roberts, Eeq., President of the United States Mail Steamship Ccmpapy, in presence af Col. Sloo ana Mr. Fisher. Mr. rts informed me that he had agreed upon ee eee oe . sare a aoe rea] 4 sible parties, in gor H 80 far they e: mplied with its terms and demanded its comple- tion. I presented the same objections to Mr. Roberts T bad previourly presented to Mr. Fisher. He then informed me that the charter party might satisfy me of red oye faith, aud if I would permit him he would refer them tome. This I consensed to, and lett Mr. Roberts with his promise that he would do nothing further in the master without informing me, Since then the Fl Dorado has not moved from her dock, and no persons connected with the movernent have called on me foran explanation, except Gen. Goicouria. A few friends, who that he was in high favor with Gen. Walker, have also called upon me in regard to this matte: Ihave not failed # undeceive them. On the 15th inst. Gen. Goicouria gddressed me a communication, ot which the following is a copy:— New You, Nov. 16, 1366, J.P. Huse, Esq. It bas surprised me very much. Your late couduct abovt the opposition you mude to the charter of the stesmer | bad engaged ior a certain that I was to prepare, eud which T made Messi n & Garrison cooversant with before going to any expense.

J cannot close tals communtation witbont mak- ing some reference to the commeuts of the papers which have published the correspondence between General Walker and General Goricouria. In refer. ring to the New Transit Co y, they confound two things entirely distinct~'a the Sa of the exclusive privilege of the Nicaragua eer pavy,and the sale of the munaing toc’ Ace: mory Transit Company. ‘The on rivilege was granted to M;, Randolph in Pebvuary, hy him offered for aaie to Vanderbilt, subject to the approval of Mr, Garrison, about tbe 20th June, (not 20th), and in Jaly sold by Mr. Ran- doiph to Mr. Garrigon, who auteeqnently transferred an laterest to Mr. Morgan. The runmaye stock, steamboats, &o., &o., was ald to Mesers. Morgan & Gertison in August or September last, The snle of the ranning stock was made withoat Mr. Randolph s intervention, The grant of the Transit privilege waa Lis pro» ty, which Le diepoved of as he plea’ Whether 6 disposed of it in a manner to promote the fiute- rests of Nicaragua will ve shown, and the govern- ment of that republic will be the jadge ; but while referring to this subject, 1 will in refer to the eat enxiety General Goicouria S shown fi behalt of the old Acce Transit, Company. I hove stated heretofore that was their agent, and L will now give my anthority. In May or Jone last, Mr. C. Vanderbilt informed me in his office, No. 4 Bowling Green, that General Goizouria was his agent, Tam certain he has had no reason to find fault with the manner in which Gen. G. has en- deavored to promote the interests of the old Tran- ait Company, of which Mr. V. is the indefatigable President. But there is another subject in comection with this matter which is well worthy the attention of the public, viz:—that at the very time Mr. ©.

Late developemeats prove conclusive- ly that he has been engaged in attempting to get up an expedition for Nicaragua of the most suspicious character, if, indeed, his own confessions do not prove that it ‘was to be decidedly hostile. General Walker has shown himeelf eminent); qualified for the high position which he ocoupies, man of great deeds and few words, he clearly under- stands the character and motives of the aspirants for his covrideration, by which he is surrounded, and he will continue to cast off those who are actu- ated more by-selfish than patriotic motives, for an open enemy is less to be feared than a false friend.

As there is at this moment a large ehare of pub- lic interest directed to the affairs of Nicaragua and to Walker's career there, ! may probably be able to give you some iutormation that will prove of interest to your readers. I bave noticed the appointment by President Walker of Colonel Charles Frederick Henningsen as Brigadier General of the Nicaraguan army, Com- mander of the Artillery and Chief of Ordnance, vice General D. do Gvicouria, whose name has been stricken from the roll of the army. General Goicouria ig well kpowa in this city as one of the leading spirits of the Cubac Junta, For some weeks past public rumor has \ccntided him with the Atting out of au expedition in this city and New Crleans, for the transportation o which to Nwaragua the steamer Ei Dorado and other versels were engaged. Iupderstand that Goicouria had fvucceeded tn enlisting aeerly @ thousand men in those two cities for the enterprise, which wil! now, I presume, toil to the ground by reaeon of Lis dismissal. The secret ©: big earnest and efficient co-operation with Walker was, that be calculsted on making Nicaragua a point @apput for his future designs upon toe island of Cubs. It was not fer Nicaragua he cared, but for his native ielaad. ‘The men whom be enlisted were all engaged with that object in view. With chem, as with him, Nicaragua was merely a secondaay afair; Cuba was the object of pri- mary importance. Walker, op the contrary, cared no- ing about Cuba. he looked ont merely for ‘Nicaragua Goicouria and bi thousand recruits gone to (rarada, tbe re would in all probability have deen a split between bim and Walker, as their ideas on this matter clasned, A coission and struggie for supremacy would have been the inevitable fresult. If Golcooria prevailed, thea the Geasigns of the fiibasters woul have turned to ward ba, aod a descent upon thet island would heve been made at the first favorable moment. Had Walker come out vietorious in the sirnggie, he would bave conti- nved in the path be has bithorto pursued, of making Nic- Qragca & prosperous repubilc. As to General Honniogren, who has superseded Gol- couria in bis military command, | notice that one of the Dewspapers of (tis City attributes his sepatenens to the Jofnence of ceriain promifent frients of Mr, Buchanan, the President eieot, and to Hepvingsen’s sopposed sym wey, with the recent slavery propsganaint eciet of Gen niker, That is notso. The cause af this appoiutment i more likely to be found in tue fact that Gen. Henning at Walkor a supply of teveral han- ion, wneoufuctared ont of a some- ha United States muskets, beridos hat famous steze of hell a million of bel) cartridge#, some cannon, howitzers, ebelis and other miliary #1 of this cit} ree, furniwbed by reritents I delisve toat thei opportune rupply had than anything exo In cauring Walker to mingeon had dovbtloas Hs notice of Walker.

It is clear that Rivas is regerded by bis own and neighboring States as the inwful President of Nica: raga; equally clear that Walker and his myrmidons have iseomted themselves from the native pupulaton, of allcreeds and classes, snd rest their authority as con- querors exclusively upon the sword. Fioally, is is clear —ibough not quite #0 clear es it mipht be—that the true way to represent “universal freedom” is to re-establieh slavery in a country where tures-foarths of the popula. tion bave more or less of negro blood. ‘Alter dercribing {a terms of plovs indignation the means adopted by the aliied army of Central America to cut off all supplies from Grarada—as if such practises were not inseparable from a state of war— the oilicial cologist informs vs that the ‘conspirators deluded them- ge)ves with the vain conviction that the army of Walker was to be starved into a surrender or the evacuation of Granada. ‘The miscrable dupes of their own imbecility acted as thovgh cceana wore impazsablo—as though rivers end lakes were not formed for navigation—ag though vessels were incapable of outing upon their sur- face, and (urnishing the people they hated with the neces aries they would .uhibit.”” This admission becomes of fearful force when we afterwards learn that throo thonsand Costa Ricacs are pow under arms, and only waiting for paseable rouds to enter Nicaragua on the live oi transit by tac Sau Juan river, The quotation a¢mits that Grapada ts now out oft from supplies by land, and therefore, when the transit hoe is Scomplede ‘a8 it probably bas been before this—the city, alzeady plundered, thurt sarreuder from etarvation.

Walker bas received from the United tiates a little over 4.000 recruits. Of these 144 have been fortunate enough to aio in battle: 2,581 perished mis¢rably = diseage, aud there wore on band on the lst of Nov., including the last lnvoise from New Orieaus of 826 men under C1.

These statistics are compiled from the official columne of the Nicareguense, the mortality is not stated in that or. gia, but we have only toada up the total arrivals and Cedvet the losses tn battle and the existing force. Apd wat is the hope of reward for which these survi- vors fight?
