Night and day they were barsassed by alarms; every straggler was, cut down. In short, it was a guerilla warfare of the most barrassing character, and quite shut the enemy up in their two piaces of strength, Bau and Siniawan, The want ¢f food was sure todo the rest, and it was a @ question of time how jong they could hold out Bimovar and Bank were each covered, the former by the fort of Balidab, the latter by is landing place, but early im the month the Chinese again came forth in tive prabus and began ravaging the banks of the river.

The Dyas cut the Chinese to pieces in the jungle, and the half hour before sunset cost our eremies from 1000 120 men. Again the remnant was distressed in the jungle. Our party returned; had it ascended the river, no man, woman or child of our enemies would bave escaped d or capture, This defeated per consisted of their picked men, and their two great leaders were killed in the stockade, A pauic now seized them. On the night of the llth I beard that Baldab and Simovar had been abandoned, and, hurrying up the following morning, the intel igence greeted me that Bank was likewise deserted, and had been burned, and that the Chinese were in full retreat towards Sambas.

The reputation of Walker, auch ae it wor, attracted a hort of adventarers from all parte of the Siates. Like Cati'ine, he promised everything tw hie fol lowers opon the eole er ntition of ancneas; ant by dint of enaray and good hick, he quickly foand’ himself master of the State of Nicaragua. n followed @ reo xgnition of his avthority by President Pieree, an act of the mort reprehen-thle character, and one that, if Walker tat been able te vain hie ground, might have led to se rious complications with thi: country, Fortunately, how ever, for the interests of peace, this extravtdinary ston of the Inte Presilent was not attended with the emits whict might bave been anticipated.

In short, unless some totally unforeseen event occure to turi.thd tide oncd more In ‘his favor, we may expect every day t hear of the unconditional surrender the remnant of his force into the handa of their enemies. That this is a conaum- mation devoutly to be wished by every friend of peace on both sides of the Atlantic is abundantly evident. The sucess of Walker’s pira ical invasion of Coutral America must have led to comulica ions of the most dangerons kind.
