CAROLINA SPARTAN. GENERAL WIUIA1 WAIIER. This "daring filibuster," m Blackwood's Magazine calls him, is playing a leading role in a drama of the utmost consequence to the people of the United States and Central America; whilo the eyes of statesmen and sagacious tuen in Europe are fixed upon him with intense interest. We have regarded Walker from the first as entitled to a consideration far above what is due to a common filibuster, and havo been able to realize none of that horror at bis dnshiug career which has been excited in the class of tight-laced old fogies in our country. It is not necessary to dive into the' depths of Walker's bosom, for bis personal motives, to decide that ho is an instrument in the hands of Fate, or of Providence, to woik out great political changes and social ro forms in the drama of iho "manifest destiny" of the North American continent. It is a fixed idea in the American mind, that sooner or later our institutions and laws ?re to spread over and govern the whole North Ameiicnn continent and the island of Cuba?perhaps the whole group of the Antilles. It is not surprising that this strong thought and steady belief should manifest itself in the form of actual and advonturous effort among the restless and active spirits of our people, and that iho peoplo of the United States, with rare exnont inno l' .11 ?... *1? - * vv|'>iuu?, oiiuuiu mo au venturers with secret or open satisfaction, and with v their best wishes for their success. It is a mistake to imagine that filibusteriMii is an American peculiarity. It is common to all poweiful people and nations, and has been practised Iroin tho days of Alexander and Cyrus, of Homo and Carthage, of Julius Caesar and William the Conqueror, down to William Walker of the present time. In tho United States it onlv lakes a different form. With us, it is tho people who aro tho filibusters. In Europe now, and in all past times, it is the Governments that are the filibusters. Franco filibusters in Africa?Groat Britain on a huge scale in India, and in every other part of the globe, whoro a ship will float or a fortress may be erected to extend her commercial dominion; and Russia filibusters?or tries to?in the Danubiau Provinces, in Circassia, and as far into Asia as her sceptre can reach. England, France and Russia do not send their people as emigrants, or colonists, on theso expeditions, but their fleets and armies. It is the spiiit of filibusterism in the Governments, and not tho restless spirit of tho people, that prompts, leads and executes in their forays. No civilized power in the world, then, has a right to cast the first stone of reproach against tho manifestation of a propensity in this country which seems to have been, in all time, an inseparable element in the characteristics of inen and nations. Gen. Wm. Walker is the nblcst, tho most daring, and. so far, tho most success iui o! all the American filibusters, lie did not curry violence and bloodshed into Nicaragua?lie found it thero. Ho found a civil war raging between the Grenada and Leon parlies. The former was headed by Don 1'ruto Cliamorro, the President of the Government, which was at the time in his hands, lie was a man of great energy and courage, but as stuborn as a mule. Greuada, a city of about fifteen thousand inhabitants, was the capital aud headquarters of tho Cliamorro party. The Leon party, the result of a revolutionary movement agninst Chamorro's despotic Government, had its headquarters at the city of Leon. Francisco Castillon, a man of education and enlightenment, headed this party, and they called themselves Democrats. Tho war commenced at ltealejo, a small town on the Pacific, which the Democrats took, and proceeded to Leon, where Cliamorro was defeated and retired to Gienada, leaving the former city in the possession of tho Demociatic army. After spending soino timo in recruiting and preparing for a serious attack upon Grenada, the enemy's stronghold, tho latter was invested. Cliamorro was ready for them, and had fortified the Plaza with double and triple barricades, ami such artillery as he oniiU I? ? *1 .........nuu?vmy suiuu inrce or lour guns'. The Democrats took possession of all the surrounding country and all of the city, too, except the Plaza, which had been converted into a Citadel. After ten months of trial the siego was raised, the assailants giving up the hope of killing or starving out the Legitimists. On retiring Chamorro pursued and overtook them at Mnsayu, whore a bloody fight ensued, and some three hundred men were killed. The Grenada party now regained possession of the southern pait of the Slate, while the Lconites held the North. Meantime the Democratic party had been particularly solicitous to conciliate the Americans and American interests in the State. Heing in posse-sion of the Transit route, they succeeded in enlisting a few American rilles in their cause. While the revolution was at its height, and the State was divided into two aunies, Walker appeared on the scone at the request of the Leon party. Ho landed with less than sixty men. His course and successes are familiar to the public. The result was the ee feat of the Chaiuorro party. Chumorro himself, in the meantime, had died of a disease under which he had been long suffering. A peace was made between the parties?together they formed a new government?offering to Walker the Presidency, which lie derlinod, contenting himself with the c mm nut of the army. The new government was composed of men of |v>i'< Knr*l? c u 1 .> HIP IIISIUI^ I'l Will" | kei'a filibustering in Nicaragua, liis rule :s us legitimate as any (lint has ever been established in the Slate, and certainly inoro wise, firm and just.?Muftilc Jtcr/istcr. Startling Disclosi'rk.?The following paragraph is taken from the columns of the National Intelligence!: I hiring a trial now progressing in the United States Circuit Court in this city, the extraordinary fact came out in evidence that, when a Know Nothing is admitted to his second degree, he becomes a party to an oath which binds liim to stand by a 1 brother of tho same grnde, regardless of consequences, even as a witness in any I court! Is not this enough to repulso every hon- j est man? An editor out West lias become so hoi- i low from depending on the printing business alone for bread, that bo proposes to | ell himself for a stove pipe. A fool's tongue is long enough to cut j his throat: a tattler's long enough to cut half the throats of a whole neighborhood. J TUB CENTRAL AMERICAN DISPITK?ENGLAND'S ULTIMATUM. Among the letters just published in England, touching the Central American dispute with tho Unitod Slates, are some which have uot been made public hero. Mr. Champion, in explaining to Lord Clarendon the reason of his delay in ma- I king known the oiler of arbitration, says: , "I must certainly tako blame to myself I for not linving executed the instructions at I an earlier period; but I confess that passage | of the dispatch conveying it to me had escaped my attention, and 1 had looked on | the dispatch as intended to apprizo me of, what wns going forward, rather than as an j instruction to mnke a formal offer of arbi* I tralion to the United States government. I < * * * * * * I "Congress is now, however, in possession of tho fact, and although certain Senntors and certain newspapers have thought proper to attribute to Iler Majesty's Government and myself the most extraordinary ! motives for what thoy consider to bo your lordship's negligence and not Mr. liucha- | nan's misapprehension, 1 am quite at a loss j to conceive what object thoy can possibly i imagine Her Majesty's Government could j , have in misleading the Government of the i I United States, and thus defeating for a timo | . the object which ller Majesty's Govern- 1 | inent themselves had in view." i Lord Clarendon, in his repiy to the nbove, i ; regrets tho oversight, but say*: 'The Government of the United States [ j cannot, however, found on your omission i any allegatiou that they were thereby left i in ignorance of any such offer having been | made by Her Majesty's Government; for, .{as 1 informed you in my dispatch of tho 8th of February, giving an account of Mr. Buchanan's statement that tho offer of arbitration had not been formally made, Mr. Buchanan distinctly told mo that whatever I had said to him upon tho subject bad | been reported to his Government." j Appended to this is lire following cx; tract of a letter from Mr. Craniptou to i Loid Clarendon: | "It will bo within your Lordship's ro| collection that Mr. Clayton was informed, by Sir Henry Bulwer, before the treaty of 1850 was signed, that Kuatan was dc jure and dc J'acto a British possession; and Air. Clayton has, on various occasions since, in conversation with me, stated that he consid- j ered Una tan as much a British jtosscssion as j Jamaica or any other British India I Island/" According to the New York Herald tho , British government refuses to concede any- ! thing to our administration on tho Central American dispute, but agrees to refer tho whole subject to an arbitrator, and submits to be bound absolutely by such decision, tho choice of reference being left to the United States. Such, it is alleged, is tho j ultimatum of Lord Clarendon, as commii- ! nicaled in a late voluminous diplomatic note to our Ministor, Mr. Dallas. On tho enlistment difficulty, it is stated on tho same authority that her Majesty's 1 government adheres thinly to its position. . Lord Clarendon says that having carefully i examined the evidences on both sides received from tho United States, her Majes. ty's government has como to the conclu sion that tho charges Against minister Cramplon and tho ilireo alleged offending consuls are not substantiated, and their government tliereforo flatly refuses to recall them. TUB m'lSLASDS. The English papers publish the Queen's ' warrant fur erecting the Island of Huatnn ; and certain other islands in the Hay of Honduras into a colony, under tlio name of "Bay Islands." It is a document of peculiar interest at present. Tiie whole is j comprised in four folio pages, and in twen- ' ly-livo paragraphs or clauses, with a pro- ! amble. The London Spectator gives tlio following abstract of it: "The powers of government are intrusted to the governor of Jamaica, w ho is con- ' I ! Kliluled Governor of the Bay Islands Coloj ny, and authorized to act as sovereign, j without any fuilhcr instructions from Hugland, in making laws for the colony and . framing the financial estimate?; to alienate ; the royal lands to private persons; to present qualified persons for ordination by tho Bishop of Jamaica to olliciale in tho clmr! > lies, chapels, or any other ecclesiastical i benefice*; to constitute and appoint judges and officers of justice; to suspend officers ; commissioned by the crown itself; to par- ' ' dou offenders; to give warrants for the cm! tody of idiots, lunatics and their estates; and to delegate bis authority to tho Lieutenant Governor. The power of the Gov\ ernor of Bay Islands Colony extends to lll.-iliv rroi-eniors nf inn.-!. h./m-a I..,. ....... J wi IIIVIU IHIjMI Mill I settlements. Tlie Spectator proceeds to remark that tlie creation of litis colony seems to it to ; i>e incompatible with the obligations incurred by tireat ltrilain under the Claytonj Ilulwer treaty. It further adds: "There may be, independently of tcchnical rights, reasons why we persevere in tho ; protection of our subjects on tho inland of Kuntan and its small neighbors, or in our protectorate of tho Mosquito Indians. Tlicso reasons, wo learn from l^ord 1'almer-ton, 1 are to bo slated in the letter which Lord Clarendon is to write for the United States government after his return to England. It would have been convenient if they had been effectively stated at an earlier stage in tho dispute; but they will be awaited with soino interest now, sinre, if the rea- \ s>ns aro convincing, it is possible that the American may waive their technical right 1 in consideration of tho merits of tho que9- I I ; tion. It is upon the substantial merits, indeed, that tho question must eventually ; , rest; and it is a pity that wo cannot escape I 1 I from a disputo as to the terms of the treaty ;1 ; to something like a plain understanding 1 upon me points niiotil winch tlio ollicials t on bolli sides me disputing." ! , At CnlUo, it was reported, on the 12th ;i of March, that the lhiiir.lt Admiral Imd re- ' ceived orders front his government to seize the Chincha Islands, and hold them as so , entity for the debt which lVtu owes to * England.

Tho Germans of Charleston held a May festival last wevk in tluit oity aftar tho time-honored customs of their nativs land, involving many tilings new and curious to the people of this country. Tho sports lasted during two days, at Magnolia Parade Grouud, and the .following nccouut of the proceedings is from the buudurd: "Upon entering the Magnolia Parade ground, there were many object* to attract attention. First, to the left, there were a range of sliooliiig-sheds liko those the traveller meets so frequently in Switzerland. Opposite to these, at n distance ol about eighty-five yards, there was a corresponding range of targets; and among them was a pole to the height of near fifty feet upon which had been placed tho form of an eagle, which seemed to lio an object of especial interest to the ninrksmcii. lly four o'clock in llio atleriiooii it hail lost a wing, by (ivo o'clock it had bait another; and soon nf|gr, when the firing closed, it was sum-ended from its perch, and the fortunate marksinan, who should ultimately bring it down, is to be crowned King o1 the occasion, nt the close ol the ceremonies, which rc commence at 2 o'clock to-day. Further on was another shed, with a range of tables, upon which all sorts of comfits were to be served. In front of this was another |*>le about fifty feet high, U|toii which were suspemled n fiddle, a drum, ami a great many smaller objects, which were gazed at with intense interest by any quantity of little hoys. Near this again w.ai a cylinder between two upright posts, which turned easily on its aaia. Farther on was another shed with seats, and turthcr still was tho dancing saloon, which was filled to its utmost capacity with German lads and lasses, and was animated by n charming baud or mus'o. Near the centre of the whole arrangement was tho stand tor music; ami ull these several objects of attraction, each sur rounder! by those more particularly inclined to tin entertainment it afforded, presented a joyous ami imposing spectacle. It was, indeed, a charming sight to sec the dancers. The music was fine, as is usually tho oasi with German bands, and, though tho room wni crowded and close, and the afternoon was warm still they went nt the amusement with all thuit might. The lb-down and the \'al$* du tempt were played as rapidly us possible, and were danced uocorduigly. Everybody danced nnd eve rybody w i too intent tmon his own nnrt ..f )>. performance to notice uilicri; ami so, growing redder .md redder in the face, nn<i warmer ami warmer from the movement, and more nud inori animated fr?nn all the cau*i of excitement put tonether, they brought the performance to its periodical (muses w?tlt an enthusiasm that \vn? reitinrkable. The pole, however, aoon becmno an object o even more general attraction than the dance. Ai may have lieeu guessed hy those of our renden who know anvth ug about tbu amusements of n German Festival, the pole, which wax perfectly moolli, had liecn greased, and the objects suspended fifty feel in tlio air were each to be the reward of linn who should have the ability nnd mlilrin to clnnb up to them. There were some preliminary expirexnenu at an earlier period, but about o'clock in the afternoon a general concentration ul*>ut tint |K?int gave nolioe that tins part of the amusement had commenced in earnest. The lirst that undertook the task was a lithe ami siucwy white lad, u he sprung up over the lirst fourth of the distance with coiisalvrable ease, ami with a vigor and address which showed that lie was ptct'y well up to the undertaking. Hut Irom llrs point it was truly nn uphill business. He hugged the |>oIc with intense tenacity, hut eaoli spasm carried him but a few inches, Yet lie still held on; he was so tar at least, and coining down lie would give some the chance o! going ahead of him. And so he still clung on, nnd foot by foul of the- arduous ascent was slowly nccoinplislicd, until be could touch the cross timber which was to terminate his ?Hurts. A sh<>ut broke from the company, and there was evidently the confidence of success; yet still with his utmost exertions he Could get no further. Tlio polish of the |*ile was so entirely |?crfect, that ho could n t hold hard enough with Ins arms to draw his logs an inch higher. Again and again lie touched the cross-slick, but always without the ability to grasp it; and, at last, hits strength giving way, he came sliding slowly down, to the great mortification I himself ami tlie great disappointment of spectators Tlio m-xt that attempted it was a negro hoy, ;< muscular scamp n'siut thirteen years old, who was awkward at tlx- beginning, an 1 gave, in his iiio\<uicnt, no great promise of success. He was evidently sensib'r, however, and determined to take his lima about it. When some fihreii feet up, l.c slopped and looked Uj*in the crowd complacently, who, supposing that lie had done Ins best, called u|hhi him to come down. (>f this, however, he seemed to have no notion, nud still went on, stopping as often as lie pleased to regain sin iicth, and came at last to a <1 ffi -nil passage, where hai predecessor had (ailed; ail I it was supposed that he,ills", would share the s one fate.
