Walker, who was not A freebooter, but a man of pure purpose and unselfish, disinterested nature. A letter was read from Col. Walker to US one of the Senators upon the interference of Great Britain in the war between Nicaragua and Costa Rica. Mr. Seward opposed the resolution. Mr. Itougias avowed liimsef a sympathizer with the present Government of Nicaragua, and the gravity and importance of the rumored interference of England in Central America concerning American interest.

Particulai ly at this season of the year, when tho trees have donned their verdant foliage, and flowers peep forth here and there,does this nice little plaee present the greatest attTactions. Availing ourself of a day and the kind invitation from tho voting ladies of the Williamston Academy, we jumped aboard the cars on Friday morning last, determined to see all thnt could bo seen in one day. The day was beautiful, and the jonng ladies of tho place were out at an early hour with their tlowors, decorating the school room, and getting everything ready for the party at night. To say that we helped to complete the arrangements, fix up the May pole, and all that, would be hut to say that for which the young Indies gave us ctedit, and which a willing nature prompted us to do. The table w hich was spread by the ladies for the accommodation of their j guests, we have never seen surpassed upon 1 any similar occasion, and although we were | compelled to leave before the supper hour arrived, we boar testimony to the richness >f their wide spread board. Our thanks are due to the committee who forwarded to us tho handsome cake, dec., after our return home. Marks of esteem tike litis, are highly appreciated. The Female Academy at this place, under the control of Rev. Mr Carlisle, numbers about sixty young Indies, and promises a i wide field of usefulness. The Male School is under the supervision of Mr. Walker, u . youm# gentlemen of ability and talent. Hi* addrcM before the pupils on Kiiday evening we learn wan listened to with much atten lion. Quite a number of improvements are visible in and about Williamson, testifying to the industry and enterprise of its citizens. The thndoff of our old friend Coon has never grown less, whilst the patronage extended to his house has justified him in adding a Leo(o) to hi*tal>le, which, whilst an ornament, is no lesa a decided usefulness.

We will suppose u safely moored, gentlv resting from the Storm and tempest, and gazed at by its many admirers, who have so earnestly hop od und prayed for ite safety. Its sails now flap idly in the breeze?the dark sky which marked its advent upon the turbid waters has passed away, a radiant sun and cheerful spring-time invites Its safe return. ( Of course its commander tells the story I of its voyage. Hie adventures that have been made before, whether they refloeted credit upon those who engaged in them, accomplished good, or ended in smoke, have each told its story. Should the navigator' Franklin return from his voyage amid the iee-crngs at the north pole, he too, will have a tale to tell. But whether he ret urns,or is forever iminured in the cold fastnesses of that bleak region, has nothing to do with our history. The sailing of his expedition and ours were two different enterprises?each having its own results. Tho Enterprise on its outward trip met with some heavy weather, adverse winds and gales, causing no delay, hut producing considerable inside alarm. The captain prudently kept his fears to himself. At one time, whilst nnss 14 no person can be entirely iimentUlo while there is in the world a single individual who will rejoice at his prosperity, or feel sorrow for his adversity." Kind friend*, in conclusion we would ask a continuation of your patronage. There are many name* upon om list who have not < paid us their Mftacriptions. Come friends, square up, anil we will go on our way rejoicing Our books arc still open for new ( names, and our columns for the reception of advertisement* and notices of nil kinds.

They say he io?t as many men as the Costa ; Rican*. who lost about 150. lie was unable to remain in Rivasto bnry his dead. The fact, however, that he was iininedintly to resume offensive operations tends to areata the ladicf that he was not defeated His position, onder all the circumstances, is at leaat Btical, and news from him by the next strainer will be'nnxiously expected.

When we see its bill of lading for the coming trip, and the return of its new commander from Europe, we shall then know whether we cruise again together or not Much depends upon the fact of Pjkrck's appointment to tho command of the Cincinnati boat. If he is not, we row for the soundest and best man, (American or anti American,) even if he leads us up Salt River. This preference for Pibhck is not owing to his great opposition to the American line, c in the belief that he will succeed if appointed, but that Ire is entitled to tho patronage of Southerners exclusively for Ids late efforts in behalf of their rights. Solely on this account. Rut of this enough, we liavo plenty time to take in our presidential cargo. We coine ashore to talk of home matters. We miss the cheerful company of some who. like ourself were wont to light up the hearts and brighten the faces of those who read j their printed thoughts.

Aty Dear Sir In accordance with my promiae to you when I left, borne, I will give you ft further Recount of mattep end iliings in general, that have come under my obwerration in Louisiana, and a* you j are a ladies' man, aome notioo of the wo-1 men or tin* pari of the country, I ant sure will not be uninteresting to you. The climate here is better adapted to the female constitution than the male, consequent!) the women lite longer and out number the men. A? an evidence of this, there are near one hundred widows in St. Mary1* Pariah, among whom are many young, handsome and wealthy; and I often think how the good-looking young men of South Carolina would tigure hero, and that to their profit. The ladies here are generally handsome, i particularly the Creole women. They have a fine complexion?the effect of the climate, which is remarkably soft and damp with ^ cool nights, and the sea-breeze blowing in the hottest hours of the day? and from 80 to 07 degrees Fahrenheit, is as warm as it ever gets here ; and I have never seen the Spring season so pleasant as it is in this climate. The evenings are delightful, and is the time for taking pleasure exclusions, and the fine level roads are crowded with carriages and equestrians?Indies and gentlemen?in handsome dress and feather, on Creole ponies and going at top speed.?! These animals are very fleet, almost equal1 to the eagle's flight?and as they pass off,. or approach with their fair riders in their | long and full riding dresses, they afford any amount of sail, and that too apparently often in a confused condition. Thero is a great rivalry among the different orders of the higher classes of women here, viz.: the widows, the young single ladies and the youngest of the married women, as to whom j shall attract the most attention, or secure ! ( the most admirers. This, as a matter of course, is owing to the custom of the country, and not for other reasons, which gossip | might assign for it; and the maiked attention bestowed by single gentlemen to married Indies is purely to lessen the labors of the husband. I am quite engaged yet, in closing up the business which is the object of my sojourn I here. I shall get through next month, and then return to South Carolina, and resume my abode ninong the patriots of the country and ray immediate constituents. J. P. ?? Gen- Gary's Lectures. Gen.
