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

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

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." ! ,

GBRXAN MAT FESTIVAL.
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. Hut he was ijliite ton
shrewd for that. In anticipation of the difficulty
lie Had provided lismsi II with apuekct ofsand, ?1 i ?-li
with every inch lie (rained upon tin; p?de nlxivc

the minute sjiace wliieh made all the
d (Terence between sueei-sa and fuilure, lie grasped
the cross st ok. threw Ins leg over it with the activity
of monkey, and looking down upon the
crowd through a ridiculous amount of sand and
perspiration, lie raised a shout, which was r?->|*iitded
to by the ivlnd assembly of spectators, seized
tin fiddle, and gilded like lightning down the pole
again.
The bag-race, which came ofTat an enrlii r hour,
the mill ot misfortune, which ground the luckless
mil. v.duals who tiuMed thetiiselvi s to itscpetnlioiis
into n hopper of meal or a hopper of coal-dust?

TAYLOR DEMOCRATS, kC.
The pre** oligarchy arc still thundering away i

upon Col. Orr, deeming liim, we suppose, the eff

' The gravest allocation brought forward is tin
Col. Orr, now so strict n Democrat, was a Tuylt
Whig in 1818, and this is made the pretext tosnst
nt his dein >craey in 1850, and so a fleet his popi
larity at home and weaken his influence abroa>

II But it lias another purpose OOt the most trus
worthy among tlmeo who arc to he impressed then
' by. And that is, to create the impression bcyoti
the State line that this Convention movement
not only not popular in nnrnbers or influence, hi
that it originated among those Whigs who su|
ported Gen. Taylor for the Presidency, and posscw
cs little weight beyond llieir strength. This is fi
- from ingenuous, whether as affecting Col. Orr <

with the contest about men prior to the uominniit
of .Mr. Polk by the Democrats and of Gen. Tayl<
by tlie Whigs. Put the whole truth is uot y

"EQUAL JUST HE" OR THE PEOPLE'S ]
INTERPRETER.
r- Mchm. Kuitorh : In tlio last nnmkfr of the

ne ; L>r no other reason than for its unparelleled precr

A word or two of odrice to "Kqual (better un'

Iii the first place,then, my dear air, nature never
made your head to ait upon a chancellor's shouldera?she
never made your fingers to hold the
scales ol justice?she never gave you that cfficinqi
spirit which you have exhibited at the expoumUr
of justice. That i* a virtue of voar own cultivation.
She ha* given you, however, res pec tab- tah-nta,
whi?u may be ircide serviceable to your-* if and
your fellow-men if you would but shake off the
fetter* which bind and cripple then energies. Y'ou
may (xmcm learning, and many accompl aliments

know, if you hate not three, you Laic mind
enough to govern other* instead of being govern

act with freedom, inatead of being audi an automaton

would say more, my dear air, with the hope I
might myself be profited by |M>ndcring over the
precepts f hich 1 might give you, as well as be the

COLLEGE EDIFICES.
Mimri. Koit oas; In looking i.v . r the long list
of notable things in your last paper 1 was led to pause
and reflect a moment over the account given of
the dimensions of the Female College about to be
erected in Columbia From that my thoughts recurred
to other scenes; the contemplation of thuso
co-ni s has led to nn expression of the following
views on that genera! subject?without any reference
to that buiiifing or that locality in particular:
The many appalling scenes that lrave been Witnessed
in Ci>ns< qiu ilec of buildi: gs taking fire, where
there were large numbers of pupils wrapped in
slumber in the fourth or fifth stories, or even the
third story, should certainly admonish the pabhe
against the |>o?t>ib lity of their recurrence. The
pcriliers of life on so large a scale, it has seemed to
me, shouid he prevent d by law in nil public buildings!
But this i* not sll: so much imss-.ng up and
down stairs is not only attended with great inconvenience,
but it lays the foundation for interminable
confusion, where so many young persons arc reijuired
to make those hmg journe ys so frequently,
aisl oftin jrtss each otlur on tin-way! Any one
wlio li.ia seen Young America tirrnxl l**wo, or has
been "one of them** while the eye of the instiuetors
wn? not over tin in, wi'.l need no arrant' uts on
tins piiot. Nir yet is it only to the height?it is
also to the size itf such bu Klines that I object. lu
esse* of disease break ng out nniong the pupils,
such concentration of them iscxci edingly pcrillous.
Bcsidis, when so many papil* are placed in the
name building, it mn>t either bo a bedlam or a nunn?
ry?to both whicli there are decided objections.
"Ordi r is I leavi n'? first law.*' The family was also
God's first nrpan tuition. The education of
young Kt<i es should Im> as domettu as pots>bl*.
Oor pr?-*t nt prospects are that the wiJnt extreme
Iron' that Rood old system is to be nH tl?c vogse.
I d <1 intend also to say a word about cupolas,
high steep.r?, and ttnrers; but it any ??f you readers
can imagine any use for them, and the public can
afford to throw away that amount ol money, I shall
not object. ci i bono.
Tiir Sclmvss SraiNa.?Chalybeate waters are
b--eoming too common lor profit, but not for
health in their neighborhoods. Our town boosts
one or mote, while other pori-ons of the district arc
equally tavored. Isurrnmllr, too, we arc pleased
