' The recruits for Walker, which were land
ed at Punta Arenas by the Texas and James
Adeer, remained encamped at that place un
til the 23d January, and while thus located
every effort was made by tbe enemies of
Walker to induce desertion, and those few
thst did desert received from thev English
Com ul at Grey town a daily sum to provide
themselves with food, and wore afterwards
sent away to Asp'nwall by the English mail
steamship at his expense. -
On the night of the 2-d January, the stea
mer building at Punta Arenas was compelled
(having been only twelve days in construc
tion,) and on the 23d, at daylight, she steamed
off with all on board in fine health and spirits.
Reaching a point twenty-five miles up the
San Juan, and only five miles from the Costa
Rican garrison at Seripique, they landed and
stationed themselves so as to cut off all com
munication of the enemy with Greytown.
Col. Lockridge made a reconnoisance of the
Costa Ricans - porition, but did not deem it
prudent to attack them until in receipt of
tbe reinforcements expected by-the Texas
from New Orleans, as he was desirous, when
Seripique was taken, at once, without an

About two months ago
In oonneetion with the announcement rf
the untimely death of this youag and deep! 1 tons it would be necessary to keep open com'
lamented Aretio Explorer., the following
r
ketch of his brief but interesting and event'
ful life will doubtless be read with interest :
Dr. Elisha Kent Kane was bora in Phila
delphia, February 3, 1822. Nearly a third
of bis life was consumed in travel out of tbe
limits of the United States. ! No man of his I
years, however, was more thoroughly ac
quainted with the geographical features of
his own country. He was educated at the
Universities of V ireinia aod Pennsylvania.
graduating as a doctor of medicine in 1843.
Ills graduation thesis on Kyestine" was
erowned by tbe faculty, and is still cited as
authority in the books of the profession.
Immediately after receiving his degree, he
was appointed upon the d;plomatie staff as
surgeon to tbe first American embassy to
China. He availed himself of the faeilit!
munication in tbe rear.
The Texas arrived on the 4th February,
bringing the eelebrated Col. Titus and 250 !
wh had given him the following staVniaut
the condition if the Costa Rican varmy : j y
FrtaeiU fond'tinh of the Costa Rican Armtf . .
, Site say there r from' 9.000 to 8,000 men
enrnlledond well equipped provisloaed, tN: that,
were o.'nuiauded by Americans, Frenchmen awT
uertnans woo had deserted from Walker a army,
and the said they werj 'HOg to fight Walker
a long aa they could get men to k so with, and
when they nee that thre ia no chance for them
to keep the country under the present form of
Costa Ricn government, sooner t"an that Walker
should be potaessed pf its resources and Weald,
they will bun and mck their townf,cities and vil
lagcw.b inithe'r grive of orange aud lemon trees,
aud then give up, aud. not before. ' If Walker
expected to retain or possess the h'ue ranches and
vineyards of the country, , they . said he would
fin J a moRf.delatecilntry. This army was fiat
marching by fectioiw towards Walker's head
quarters, for the purpose of surrounding and ex-terminati-g
him, if possible. j
, Thf Sickness in Kicaragva.
From what I aw of Walker, i is rhy opinion
tiiat he has g:t to have full 4000 tnen in order
t" make any headway whatever in the country,
as tHos who arrive there ara generally stricken
down with the lever very shortly after landing,
trom wtitch tuey seldom thoroughly recover.
This sickness is principally occasioned by the
new comer making such-free use of brandy and
fruit of all kiuds. As au illusration of the kind
of .liquor used and its efiVts, a Spanish doctor iu
A?irtnwaII took a pme apple and cut a slice as
thick as my hand, placing it m a Vessel and
covering it with the liquor. In 1 loss than ten
minutes the piue apples juice and liquor turned
v aooy blacknes. The doctor says fhat it is
owing to eaiirg pine apples and drinking this brati
idy tla. the ch iera and other sickness so pre rale' t
n f hf. country, is acquired.
. fciN Jvas, Feb. 12th. We have cot as yet
any commnnicatJon with the interior, the Costa
R'caas having proascssion of Seripique, all the
lake and Virgin By. A party of filibusters,
who arrived after the Costa Ricans had take pos
session of the , boats; have encamped some six
milea from the Serapique. This party of fillibus
tera have nde two attacks upon te position of
men, with artillery, ammunition, provisions, "P'quf and have been repulsed by the Costa
4c, Ac. They were at once taken up the "1T" ua ,reai, ,0f9. iae ,ast ipt was
afforded by bia position to explore the Phil-1 on the enemy.
i-piucs, moss oi wmcn travel, inciudmg Uam
arinas and Mindora, was made on foot.
, His charts are still, preserved, but we be
lieve have not been published. His associate
during a portion of this" exploration, the la
mented young Baren Loe, of Prussia, sank
under the effects of the hardship and expo-
river to the camp, and two days afterwards
moved up and occupied a position opposite to
that of the enemy at Seripique, known as
Cody's place. The Costa Kicans only had a
small force on this side of the river, and they
fled at the first charge. Mr. Cody's place is
a high hill, which commands the opposite
bank (only 150 yards distant,) and this hill
Col. Lockridge at once occupied with a por
tion of his force and three brass pieces. The
balance of his men, provisions, ic, he also
removed to the position from their former
camp, fire miles below, and on the morning
tbe Tennessee left San Juan (his preparations
being all complete) an attack was to be made
made roue three days since, with the reinforee-
meuts which arrived from New Orlean i, and it
issa-Qtney were repulsed with a loss of sixty
men
"fcince that time they have not renewed the
attack. It is thought they will, have to abandon
the undertaking, owing to the difficulties which
it ofiers, and also ou account of the dysentery
which prevails. If it rested with the" troops,
hey would have given it up by this time, as
many ot tern desert by Moating down the river
on log. &c, a few who are favorable to the un
dertaking, and the officers, (who exceed the
private in numbers) prevent them from doing

Java. Dr. Kane devoted much attention tn
the volcanie region of Albay, expecting to
connect his observations with subsequent tra
vels in Sombava. His sojourn among the Ne
gritos and Araturas was one of romantic in
terest. He was the first who descended the
crater of the Tael, upon whieh occasion he
effected a topographical sketch of the interior
or this great volcano. He was lowered more
than a hundred feet by a bamboo rope from
an overhanging cliff and clamberinir down
some seven hundred feet through tbe acorisc,
was dragged up senseless, with the interest
ing specimen which he bad collected.
Among those were bottles of sulphurous acid
from the very mouth of tbe crater.
After this Dr. Kane traversed India, spend
ing a considerable time among the monolithic
atructurea of Arungabad, (which would seem
to have particularly attracted bis notice,)
isited Ceylon, the Upper Nile, tha CW r
Jupiter Ammon, La, and various classio re
gions which have since become the trodden
grouna 01 n.uropean tourists. A portion of
io travel miroaucea turn to tbe learned
Lepaius, who was then prosecuting his re
aearohea in Egypt. Returning, however, Dr.
Kane was so unfortunate aa ta IomMi voAmA
in a qaick-ajid above E"Sloot. and with it 1 is
entire papers and journals of years of inter
esting travel
Taking profound interest in the workings
of tbe slave trade. Dr. Kane next sailed from
home tn tbe frigate United States fne th.
eoast of Africa, He visited the slave facto
ries from Cap Mono, t to the riter Bonny, and
wcca- to ue cav racoons of Dahomey
Uirough the influence of . the infamous Da
Sowta. An excursion wbleh be planned to
Abomey, favored by the Portuguese, failed
mrvuf.n a aevere attack or the coast fever,
front tbe effects of which Dr. Kane's consti
tution has never entirely recovered.
Dr. Kane's personal adventures in Mexico
are part of the history of his country. His
wtmnds on the field of Napoluca, which were
of a very serious nature, opened to him tbe
hospitalities of his prisoner, Msjor General
Oaona, the defender otBan Juan d' Ulloa
against the French, and secured bim th.
gratitude of other Mexican eitixens of tbe
highest distinction. We believe, however,
that his travels through the Republic of the
Cactua carried him little outside tbe lines of
military operations. After bia brilliant rM.

When Seripique is taken, the other position
on the river, up to Fort San Carlos, will soon lall
into Lockridge's hand, none of them being so
situated as to offer an equal defence as that of
the rn now betriged.
One of the river boats was found by Oil. L.

preparations are being made to raise lnr.
During theeucampmeutat Punta Arenas, GI.
Lockridge, finding the enemy were in daily com
munication with Greytown, despatched a few
men a short distance up the river to preveut if;
but the English interfered and caused him to re
call his force, stating that they would not permit
him to blockade the river, although nothing was
said when a few days afterwards the Costa Ricans
sent a proclamation to Greytown, in which they
de-ared the river in a state of blockade.
Tbe forces under Lockridge and Titus are with
out doubt the most efficient yet recruited for
Walker. They are 550 strong, armed with Mis
sissippi rifles and revolvers, plenty of provisions
ana ammunition, an in good health, and confi
dent of clearing the river previous to the arrival
of the next steamers. With such leaders as
Lockridge, Titus, Wheat, Frank Anderson, Capt.
Scott, (late of the United Stater army) George
Hall and many others, this force, nearly a!l West
ern men, will certainly accomplish everything
which their good judgment may lead them to
undertake.
The enemy at Seripique were not over 200
strong, and much weakened by sickness.
The company of rifles was to be sent down by
A3. uucanuge to occupy ana bold runta Are

from taking possession of that-place. ,

Death of a Prominent Mormon Dreadful Suf

A letter from Great Slt Lake City. dated De
cember 4th, which we find in the New York
Tribune, contains the subjoined interesting news;
The Mormon church hs lost one of its msin

this citv. ami member elect of the legislature.
He diet! or. the night of December 1' and watt

Al- Grant was a native of New Hampshire,
and was alout 40 years of age at the time of his
d'C-'SM-. Of numerate Fterary attainments in
winch he enjoyed somewhat the advantage of his
associates iu the presidency, h was one of the
most talented men anong the Mormons. Very
sarcattc and abusive iu his discourses, "and a
periect adept in tne school of billingsgate, he
ws always noted as the most bitter ; rev'iler of
the gentiles. It was only a few Sundays ago
that he denounced them most violently, and said
that he was ready to take his bowie-knife in

for j the offence on the 30th ultimo. The
Paris correspondent of the London Times
gives the following account of tbe awful
scene attending his execution :
Orders were given on Thursday for the ex
ecution to take place on - Fndly, the 30th,
and on that morning, at half-ffSj 8 o'clock,
tbe criminal-expiated -his guilWSpr tlU scaf

kThe order of the court for ejrrjing out its
sentence was received at the prison of La
Rriquette at midnigbLv The bearer was the
executioner himself. At 2 o'clock this morn
ing the scaffold was already erected iq fropt
of the prison.' In spite of the silence which
had been observed as b' the day of the exe
cution, and tbe early .hour at which the pre
parations were made, an immense crowd as
sembled on the spot, and so early as 3 o'clock
a considerable number of carriages were ar
riving. " Before 7 o'clock the Place de la
Koquette and the streets, adjoining were en-;
cumbered. The whole of yesterday Verger
passed in a state of feverish restlessness ; his!
agitation increased as the day wore oa. He
frequently asked questions about what was
going on in the Court of Cassation, and man-;
ifested intense anxiety as to the result of his
appeal. As night came on, he began to enter
tain hopes of its success, from the fact of bis
having received no news of th proceedings j
abQt ten o'clock, he asked those who watch
ed with him in his ceH,"how many days were
usually accorded to conricts after the reject
tion of their appeal in Cassation. This ques
tion he repeated as tbe hour waxed later.
Of the court he at last began to entertain
misgivings ; but he still clung tenaciously to
the hope that bis safety would conae from the
Emperor, and that the capital sentence
would be eotuiuuted to perpetual bsmishmeDt.
He threw himself on his pallet, bufc for some
time he found little repose. His agitation
was extreme, and bis slumbers were feverish,
till 2 o'clock, when nature being exhausted,
he. fell into a profound sleep, which was not
broken by the noise made by the workmen
preparing the scaffold. It lasted till half
past seven o'clock, when the director of the
prison, tbe inspector-general, tbe chief of pin
lice, and the chaplain ( Abbe Hugon) eume to
awaken bim, and announce the terrible news
that his last hour way, approaching, and tbaifc
iie must prepare for death. It was the chap-
lam wno undertook the office of informing
him that his appeal had been rejected, tlatj
his petition to the E mperor had been eqn ally '
unsuccessful, that t o further hope reman led,
and that all that wa s now left him was to ire
pare for death. The wrenched man raised
himself on his pallert,'he held his head down
for some instants, and turned it about be
wildered, as if he had awoke from some
terrible dream VjTien he became conscious
of what was passing, and when the dismal
words that hope was no more were full v com-.
prehended by bim, he cried "Impossible!
impossible !" Tht; chaplain repeated that
unfortuna tely, it was too true, and that all
was over . At once he became excited, and
his excitement rose to fury. "I will not
die !" he shouted. "It is impossible that
my appeal and my pardon are both re
fused impossible! impossible! I cling to

, The Louisville Journal t aslepioduced the cele

meut , which we coturnoud the perus d ot" ti

tleyste .-uch a man, fir. t to the t-lerfeshipot' Con
gress and next to the Senate of the United States:
Mb. Bpchahan's Neabbst FaiBND. From
the fret that "the President elect had taken Jolin
W Forney ashis nearest, dearest, and moat inti
mate personal. and political friend, eveu going so
far ss to srite letters asking his election, to the
United States Senate on the ground that , there
ought to be close and confidential relations between
a Pennsylvania President and Pennsylvania Sen
ator, the character of Forney becomes a "matter
of uo liHle national interest. ' j
f Under these circumstances, it seems not inap
propriate to reproduce Mr. Forney's notorious
letter, written in his capac'ty of pimp to tforreat
the play-actor to George Roberts. We : give
tliat letter below, .Look at it. Forney says in
substance to Roberts : Forrest suspects Jamiespn
of too great intimacy with his wife but has not
the eviderfbe to establish the right to a divorce.
If you can help him, he will cei tainly. pay you
liberally, for he is rich and would give half his
fortune for the evidence he want, Jamieaon is
a drinking man, and, if you will go to New Or
leans and eet yourself lutroduted to him and
take bim aside and either alone or in the pre
ence of others engaged for the purpose by your
self ply him with .liquor and employ a little tact
you can pFobably lead him in his inebriation U
make some boast of his intercourse with such
line woman as Mrs. Forrest, aud then, by care-
luliy noting his drunken talk and reporting it for
legal use agaiust Mrs. F. in the pending divorce
c tse, yon can crush the lady, serve "glorious For
rt's't." aiid put money iu your purse.
: Mr. Roberts s ivs that tho vi lest and most in
famous- portion of Forney's letter to him has
never been pub'ished, but certainly the publish
ed portions are vile and infamous euough. They
exhibited Forney as a pi y-actor s miserable mm
iou, serf, pimp,' go-between; proc;uper, conspirjng
with men agonist a lady and seokuMT by tneol
fi-r of a bribe in his employer's and master's behalf
to get her character Waste', her rights destroyed,
and her fortunes ruined, through the ill-obtained
and vam boasts of a drunkard beset with spies,
We all' know, that, for Forney's shameful agen
cy in this most disgraceful and wretched and
jioathsome and disgusting piece of business, high
winded Southern gentlemen ot -his owu p-irty
refused to rc.'gu'ze him at Washington Citv
"en while he . heH a high offit in the
House of Reprwsehtatives. Rut the Presi
dent elect clasps the foul morl leper to his heart,
and. in a letter, only less disgraceful under all
the circumstances than the wardalous Forney
letter 'itaelf, begs his election to the Seuate, so
that thee ino be a Pennsylvania Senator with
whom a Pennsylvania President, may be ou par
ticularly intimate and confidential terms.
All good rat n should hope for the best, but in
deed what srt ot a President are we likely to
have from the 4th of March ' 1857 tt the 4th of

Philadelphia, Jan. 25, 1850.
Private.! Our friend Forrest is nw here,
aud is about to apply for a divorce trom his wife,
He has had, for eighteen mouths, the proofs rf
her infidelity ; but has chosen to keep them qiuet,
aud would have done so still, but for her lolly m
cemurhig him for leaving her. It is really as
tounding how he has kept these proofs to him
self, from all his friends for all this time; but it
is o nevertheless.
. Thi i .lists a-e thsse: Eighteen ni'mths ago,
wiile il,iving in Ciuc'nnati, he-caught Mrs.
F. in j. verv equivocal position with a young man
In his own parlor-, not in actual connection, but
near it, Siie j.rotested iuiutsence, a"d he let- it
piss by, loving her as he did profoundly. They
pissed on to New Orleans, aud to home in New
lrork After thpy reached, and had been there
some time, lie found, one evenin", on bii wife's
table, a hillet deux iu the haudwritiK-r of. though
not signed by this young man. in which she was
alluded to in terms the most amorous and unmis'
takeable. 1 he language alluded to her "white
arms tiat wound about his neck ;" to the "bliss
full hours they had spent together ; ' and the let-
Vr had been kept as a ruomeii'o. untu it was
quite well- worn. Upon this evidence, with other
"wnfirmatory proofs, he intends applying to our
jLgislature for a divorc. But you are -now in
1 m. p-ition to serve him iu a manner he shall iter
ar forget. ;
. The person who wrote to Mrs. F., and in whose
compaevshe was detected, is Geo. Jamieonf
mw playing in New Orleans. If you don t
"know him, you eau, as editor of a leading paper,
swa make his acquaintance. , What Forest now
desires, to clinch tli nail, is to obtain, in some
l way, a aaM$sioMfrorii Jamieson. I named you
to him. as a safe, steady, and intelligent friend.
and he will never forget whatever you may do
tor nun in this, to mm, most vital matter. He
suggests that you might institute intimate rela-
iions witu J., and then induce mm, either in
your prese4 ice orin company, to admit, as a thing
to be proud ot, his connection with Mrs. F. He
is fond of a &-lass, and possibly, in a convivial
mood mignt L-ecome communicative.
iNoharmwi.fi come to him; he is game too
small for Forreit; and any admission he may
make, may be important only as aiding an in
jured man in gett ing relieved from now i hateful
bond. Can you manage this thing, my friend ?
It will require skiu and . caution, and, it snccess-
lul, will warmly entlear you to Forrest. He is
nearly crazy at the Idea of being placed in his
present position ; bttJ he will open half he is
worth to be relieved ft om it. Ihe matter must
be kept scret. Above ail, do not name mein con
nect'on with it. Excuse me for ' troubling vou
in regard to it. My ardent attachment to glo
rious Forrest must be toy excuse .Now, won t
vou help me to relieve hiro ?
It would help in the matter, probably, to know
that John Ureen, the actor, nowm Jnew-Orleans,
is the warm friend of Forrest, and' may know
Jamieson well. '
You can use your own discretion in letting him
know the tacts; and invoking hia aid.
. This letter h addressed to you with the know
edge ot Mr. Forrest. v
r lease write an soon atter receipt as you can
find opportunity to look about you. , With kind
regard, I am. dear Roberts,
Yours very truly,' ; Johs W. Fonder.
