* llgjll II t L? General Waller Cheek-*eto4. *Tl will bo perceived that the,brave M blueeyed w? of destiny "?the champion of forty fights-General William Walker, was mast effectually checkmated, oft Monday tart, by the move of the President. A treaty bus been made by tho Administration, %ltb Nicarngea, by the President of Mft 'United fctates, and Plenipotentiary VkHftti, and tome of the point* of this treaty ere, that tho Transit lloutc is to bo thrown open to all nations on the pain? terms. I VuitCil Sla!e?r jl? 'h?? treaty, also pledged itself to maintain a sufficient Military and Naval force to keep this route open, ad to occupv it immediately. Our Gov Ornmout stipulates, or implies, that it will seize all Walkerites, wherever they can find them, and bring thcin, qr their leaders, back to the United Stales. (?) Of course, wo tnay expect them to find J "Walker with as much alacrity as has been shown in finding that celebrated indiviual who indulged in physical action,14 the manly art of self defence ** towards ono William Patterson, E*q. The idea of our Government stipulating to seize Walker, or his aids, is a fine farce. The Lake Boats, too, by this treaty, are to transferred to the New Transit Cfompany, of which, one Joseph White, a gentleman of commerce and patriotism, is a party. This arrangement has tlio sanction of the dear English and French Ministers.? Vive h Humbug.? Carolina Times. A Party for the Hard Times. Ono of tlse moat recherche parties of the eeasoti " came off* last evening at tho residence of one of our retired merchants in S street, which was eminently in keeping with the times. A sine qua non to the jinvited was for the ladies to appear diaped in calico, and the gentlemen in their summer coats, and most faithfully did each sex carry out their portion of tlio programme, and a more tastefully arrayed party of f*ir demoiselles rarely meets the eye than was hero congregated. Upon their heads were rosettes and pendants of the varied hued products of Lowell, Manchester nnu Providence. At early evening dancing was commenced bo neath the light of one burner in eacli chandelier, to the music of tlio pinno, in which the ladies alternated, and was kept up with nnahated vigor, relieved by occasional charade performances, till supper time; and here the rrenius of the host ia confoi miner to the times, added much to I lie already hnppy (parly. The spacious dining loom wis (thrown open, and*displayed a table set forth, mot with costly plnte, but the fruits of the harvest instead. In the centre, upon an inverted tin pail, nicely draped, Rtood a golden pumpkin, from whoso eyes and nose and mouth beamed forth a mellow light, relieved by the "dips" which adorned the corners, well secured in goodly turnips. Yellow dishes of 'lasses-ginger bread yielded their -toothsome stores, and Cochituate ale dis;pensed from stone pitchers of the truegrnndvpia pattern, in mugs of delf-wnre, enhanced tike relish for renewed Terpsichorean agility.

Thanksgiving day, in some portions of r our country, is a part of our nationality, and is observed with as much devotion as any other National holiday.
