As near as could be ' ascertained, the enemy lost <100 killed mid wounded, including .'in prisoners taken by (ienWnlker; one cannon bcluntsiii^ to the Allien also fell into the hands of the fillibusters. Walker's total loss ill thin engagement, in killed and wounded did not exceed lifiy or sixty men. From this time until the second work in April, when UI'll. iMorn arrived and assumed cm and of the Allies, no offensive operations. to speak of took place on cither side.

After a good deal of hard lighting the enemy was finally repulsed, but not without conti sling the ground iueh by inch. 103 prisoners in nil , rein hi tied in the hands of (Jet.oral Walker after ' the lighting was over. The hopes of the fillibnslers were greatly sustained by the constant expectation of relief fintu Cid.

Then, in view of the hopeless prospect before them, the ' design of retiring from the country began to he ' entertained. Meantime, Capt.

At the instance of I "apt. Davis the women and j children, nnniherinir about. 7<>, were removed from th" camp on the :!(?tli of April. The for- | i:tal capitulation took place on the 3'tih of the ( same month, and the troops set out on the march I u ^aa Juan del Sur on the 1st of Mav. The whole number of Walker's men at the i ' ni" of surrender was 475; of these tit".ft, inelu- I olfiecrs, were effective, 175 were on the! i.ick and wounded list, and -to were natives. i'i*ovisions had been exceedingly scarce dii- ' rin-r the whole month of April, aiiif the men had : i.v- chieily on mule and horse meat nearly all ; that :ime.

A Beautiful C'ln**iral Allusion.?!\lr. W in- ! throp, of Massachusetts, in his address at the i Musical Festival in boston, last week, alludes to \ the contemplated submarine telegiaph, in tl.csc ! words: On Christmas Eve, in the year 181 I, the !

The great hattie of New Orleans, as you well know , was fought at least two weeks after that Trent v of l'eaeo was signed. Our modern system of railroads mid steamers And telegraphs might have saved that effusion of fraternal blood?might huve deprived individual heroes?might have deprived our country and its history?of all the glory which belonged to that really great victory. If the gigantic Ocean Harp, which is at this moment in process of being strung?whose deep diupsou is destined to produce a more magical music on (he sea than mythology or modern fable ever ascribed to siren, mermaid, or Arion?if the mysterious gamut of that profouud submarine chord had been in successful operation then, os we hope it soon will be, betweeu St. John's and Vnlenlia Ray?those oottonbag ramparts at New Orleans might never have been celebrated in his'ory ;?while, of those who bo gallantly defended them, many would not nave been laid so low*, unil gome, perhaps, would hardly have risen so high.

No returns were received from eight counties, which would of course increase these figures. These I voles are believed to have been fairly taken, the Free State inen standing aloof. I Col. Oiin, we also learn, was iu tho Territory | during this registration, and although urged, refused to use any influence in the way of public speaking, regarding it improper for an outsider lo interfere in the political affairs of that country. This gentleman is 011 a visit to Kansas, and the West, with tho view of making investments in lauds. PICTURE OF NIAGARA FALLS. This great picture, commended for its elegance of finish and truthfulness to nature, has been sent to Europe for exhibition and sale. Engiavings arc to be made of it, and it is rtatcd, thai already subscription to the ntnoutil of sixteen thousand dollars have been taken for (Iiik picture. 11 is the work of Ciiur.cn, and cost the present iviure it is to lie regretted Hint the productions of our eminent artists are so little appreciated in this country as torender itneccBsary that they should lw sent abroad for sale. True the tastes of our people, in this particular, have not been much cultivated, but we trust the day is not far distant, when Academics of Art and design will ho established in every Stale, and genius have full scope for the developement of talent in t'cul[>tare and painting. If such were the case, judging from what has already been done in these departments, wo might cofidently look forward to the period when some son of America would place upon canvass, pictures that might transmit his name to the latest posterity, adding new lustre to his country, whilst another Praxitiles would strike from the pure marblo of our quarries, some form of beauty and bid it breathe an eternity of love. UTAH. It seems that the Administration is somewhat at n lost to procure a suitable man fur the Goversltip of the Mormon country. In an appoint ineut of this kind, it is very clear that regard m.iof l.? ..... uc iiuu iu inu icfjifinnvo nnd military qunl' ities of llio individual solccted, as ill tlio ]>rcscnl disturbed htate of bfTuirs there, lie must act l>oth us law-maker and General.

Mormonism is a foul blot upon our country and age, , and although the Government tolerates freedom i of opinion in all forms, such doctrine* nnd rites > as this infatnons crew teach and practioe, should not be countenanced. Since the return of Gen. Walker, his name faaa been suggested as a fit person for the post of Governor of Utah, and perhaps lie would, if supported with a sufficient force, be the most t, suitable man the Government could aelcct?

The New Orleans 'Jtincs, speaking of tho address Wai.keii delivered on the occasion referred to, says that he spoke with wonderful spirit to the thousands assembled to listen to his words, and with indignation revealed, while lie denounced, the conduct of the Government of the ITnil ed States and Great Hi it ain towards liiin and his followers in Nicaragua. RATHER IMPERTINENT.

It. is true, some lucky fellow occasionally stumbles on a prize; hut this is of rare occurrence. Although we advertise for these Lotteries, we could not, conscientiously, recommend our renders to embark in such an uncertain enterprise, but leave u to ihcir own option; and in advertisingthese Lotteries, we neither deem ourselves recommending tliMin, nor " placing ruinious temptations before our renders,'* for it is on advertising, mainly, that cinilitrv iiewRiiannrs iImihhiI fur il...;r .......... of support, and if they were to test tin: virtue of everything that is ottered to the public, am! insert nothing but the "genuine," tlioy would exclude ft largo portion of their atlvertising patronage.?

We linvc seen several statements in llic papers recently, of llie poisonous ingredients used in the manufacture of spiritous liquors, and the fatal consequences resulting from handling them. Strychnine, one of the deadliest poisons, is said to* he one of theso ingredients, nnd now extensively used in making whisky, in coiiscqucuce ol its causing a large yield of spirits from a small amount of (Train. Several of the cit.y inspectors, whose duty it in to test the purity of liquors have developed the astounding fact, that comparatively little pure spirits, of any kind, can he found ; and thai the brandies, now so commonly used, arc a mixture of diabolical ingredients? caustic enough to e?t holes through a board, to say nothing of the human stomach. This accounts for the telling effect liquors now in use have upon those who drink them. It is also said that the adulteration of liquors is carried on at extensively abroad as in this couutry, and the Custom llouse brands is 110 guaranty now ol purity in these drinks. If men who are fond of these beverages would go with the Chemist into his laborntorj-, nnd see these poisonous compounds analized, and learn the true nature and character of the ingredient* composing them, the deleterious effects upon tin constitution,surely they would be horror-striek en, and forever abandon their use. The Springfield Rrpublican, in speaking on this subject, has the following: No secret is made of this business. Tho drug dealers of New York advertise openly the compounds, by means of which the vile imitation; of spiritous liquors are made. A circular from one of these drug houses informs the world, that brandy number one?the best sort, we take it? is mrftfe of " oil of brandy," a poisonous ether, oil of bitter almonds,?as poisonous as prusic acid,?ethercul wine, alcohol, sugar, and malagii wine.
