William Walker, the man of destiny, announces to yon the fact that he is now prepared to return to Central America to establish himself as the rightful President of that Republic, which position he was compelled to vacate for awhile, through the combination of the surrounding States?the influence of gold, * * * the treachery of the notorious Spencer, the imiproper and illegal interferences of the presumptuous English. The conduct of Geuenral Walker in the last trying campaign against such powerful influences exhibits to the world most cloarly his capacity to command and his honesty of purpose. lie returns to Central America for pure and pa trioiic motives?such as the extension of t!i? area of freedom over the superstitious and ignorant people of Central America And the promulgation of the institutions and sontiraents of the Southern portion of the United States. lie appeals to the well-known bravery and enthusiasm of Texas to suport him. For this purpose a regiment of Hangers, after their former rules and customs, will l>e organised forthwith, to concentrate at Galveston. To those who desire to participate in tbi9 glorious struggle it is necessary to buckle on the war armor without delay.? The movement will be made from Gaives ton, on the first day of October next. Fkllow-oitizens ok Bkxar County :? In announcing to you my determination tn join Gen. Walker (for a few months only) in his return to Nicaragua, I am confident that I will meet with the disappointment ot a small portion of iny political friends, who so generously assisted to elevate tne to the respectable and responsible position I now hold among vou ; but I indulge in the hope that I will find some excuse at your hands, when you exatnino into the honesty of my purpose, and the gi eat and praiseworthy cause which I go to defend ; and also that I have appointed good and well-known deputies to cxecuto the duties of the olfice of the sheriffalty of the county. After having come to this conclusion, it wonld give mo great satisfaction to be accompanied by a portion of iny old comrades 011 the frontier of Texas and in ike Mexican and Florida wars. Thoso who nro willing to joiu in with me in this noblo canso of Qressior, I would say to tlicin march iwith to thu city of Galveston, whero I will inoct thein ou the 1st of October. W. R. UEXKY. San Antonio, Sept. 22, 1837. Pillow ti. Scott. Gen. l'illow has replied to the card pubVisWed by Gen. Scott, denying the charge that he caused $10,000 to be paid to Santa Anna during the Mexican war, as a peace ibribo. Gen. Pillow reiterates his charge that $10,000 was paid through Mr. Trist to influence the negotiations for peace, and that a further -larger -n?.aa was proposed by Gen. Scott to bo expended in aid of the same object. Gen. Pillow now quotes from state tnents made by Gen. Quitman and Gen. Shields, to sustain his charge. Gen. Shields, whose statement corresponds with Gen. Quitman's, says that while the army was at PileIda, Gen. Scott invited him and several other officers to his headquarters, and, after some talk ahout future operations. Gen. Scott read a letter from Mr. Trist to himself, in which it was suggested that the Mexican authorities were destitute of means, and that the writer, Mr. Trist, had a good reason to believe that a judicious application of money would enable us to obtain a peace, and requesting Gen. Scott to use bis etlbrU to raise' a million or a million and a half of dollars for that purpose. Gen. Scott having read this letter, declaied himself in favor of the project, as the only means of procuring a speedy and satisfactory peace, lie stated that he had means of raising money, and that, under the circumstances, the course was justifiable in point of principle and expediency. Lie also stated that he had al ready applied a small sum, say ten or twenty thonsand dollars, and that ho regarded it as bread thrown on the waters. Now the question is?to whom was the money "applied?'' Certainly, Gen. Scott's language would indicate that it was not paid to a mere spy, but to somebody who could influence the action of the Mexican government. Did Gen. Scott hope to buy a pence, instead of conouerinar one ??that i* tt>? * "* " *** *mw r^"'1 to be settled. Heartrending Affair. At this late time we stop the prose to announce an occurrence, most painful in character. Our particulars are from James Jefferys, Esq., magistrate, and Mr. Wm. M. Kerr, the acting officer. In a fit of anger, one John Fee, living on Bulloch'? Oreek, in York District, a few days since, shot his inaro, some calllo and hogs, and on Sunday, the 18th instant, he set fire to his dwelling, which was locked, and the key afterwards found on his person, in which bis three motherless children, aged from five to fourteen years, nro supposed to have perished. It seems a Peace Warrant had been issued against him on complaint of a neighbor; that when an officer weut to arrest him he was seen to be fortified (as it were) in one of his barns, urmed with a gun, and swearing to shoot any who would approach him.? There were sixty or seventy persons leaving the Iiou.se wbcu Mr. Kerr arrived, who he summoned to accompany him to the ham, hut the cry was, "he will shoot somebody." So, they refused, with the exception of John Ilartneai and brother ; wbeu they got to the ham stratagem had to be resorted to, which was effectual in securing him. The prisoner stated that the children were at a certain house, which was known to l>e incorrect.

We forbear comment, as the matter must undergo judi* cial investigation, but we regret that, in tho same paper we have boasted of an emptv jail, we have to announce a tragedy ?o thrilling in iu detail. Mw Ue who watches even the sorrow's fall, have saved the little ones, i? our prayer.? York Dietrici Chronicle. Miasm and MIlama.?Miasm and malaria are the great death agents throughout the Inrgeet portion of the habitable globe. Miasm is malaria, but malaria is no mi asm. Miasm is an emanation from decaying veg nation. Miliaria is bad air, whatever tuay be its source. All impure air is malaria. M iasiu is so raritieu by a son of ninety degrees, that it rises rapidly above us, and 1 is innocuous. The cool of the morning and evening of summer tinio condenses it, and causes it to fall to the surface of the earth, where it is breathed by man, and is the fruitful cause of pestilence, plague and epidemic fevers. Thus, the higher persons sleep above the surface of the earth, the healthier is tho atmosphere. While, as a general rule, it is belter to sleep in apartments having a window and ! the fire place open in all seasons, yet where miasm abounds, evidencing its presence l?y chills and fever, fever and ague, diarrhoeas, and the like, it is bettor to sleep with closed windows than to liavo them open, because men are known to fatten iu jails and small prison cells, while the breathing a malaria a single night lias originated diseases, which, i from the violence of theii action, are scarcely distinguishable from the effects of swallowing corrosive poison, as witnesses tho National Hotel di-case. 1.1 ut although the air inside of a house is supplied from the outside, yet, if the windows and outside doors are closed, it is supplied in such small quantities, through the crevi ces, tlint it is at once heated by tho indoor air, and carried to tho ceiling, where it is above reach. The difference between the thermometor in our hall and the one out doors, about five o'clock of a summer's morning, is ten degrees. Ilence, dining the prevalence of miasm, at least in August and September, it is better to close the chamber i windows, but let an inner door and ilie fireplace be kept open.

These bills the Mobile and Ohio liniJroad Company refuse to take in payment i for freight or passage ; the merchants and traders refuse them in payment for goods or debts?they cannot be passed in Mobile for dry provisions or anything else. Thus, the people generally, having no other kind of money, and being unable to sell their produce now on haud, are indeed in a most crippled cond lion.

It seems I list after writing you, some time 8 ago, several cases of yellow fever were made public, though in encl) case that was Utor5 oughly marked, it could be traced to the Spanish vessels coming up to the city from quarantine after the 1st.
