5 , c.l »iit in lull force and attacked him, but
vie: immediately repulsed with immense loss,
s ,i driven into the city—tbe Americans literally
sviog their way with the bodies of the dead.—
Americans kept ou and followed the enemy
in lie town, where they were strongly posted
i.i ;',f p'azas and streets After * gallant fight,
wi.-.cb l.ad lasted ail through the day and evening,
(, V.'a.ker in position at 11 P. M , with his
Jowitr rs before the main plaza, ready to open

i been brought up through tbe walls of the
sec, which were cat through for that purpose,
ir ops were ordered at this hour to sleep on
• • r arms. They had fought hard, and they
*>pt well.
About half past 12 A. M., an express from Gran
a :s. arrived, advising Gen. Walker that that city
!.&3 bfen attacked at noon of the day before, by a
r re* of nearly 1.400 men. These were from the
l,a ;eriia of ft an Jacinto, and had been join ud by
• of troops treni Ssn Salvador and Gnate
s.a, with a few Charnorristas. They bad ad
-runted upon Granada by a different road from
j hat lea ling to Massaya, and had surrounded tho
<ity, attacking it on al! sides. There were very

it-it in the city, did not amount to over 150 men.
J 1 t.»e took possession of the ordnance depart
r.:flit. guard house, hospital and principal church,

in the house of the American Minister and some

I >im.
The enemy ransacked every house in search of
A nigricans and money. Mr. Lawless, the Kev.
Mr Wheeler, and Mr Ferguseon and soa were
■tnged into the streets and murdered. Gen.

t e rattle of thr. musketry in the attack of Gen.
Wsiker en the enemy at Jalteba Church, about
t' ree quarters of a mile immediately behind the
O;finance Department.
Immediately on receiving the news brought to
Malaya by the express, G»n. Walker evacuated
fbal town with all bis troops and commenced a
r.r.r- L tor Granada. At 10 A M. he attacked the
■ leiny, who were posted in front on the height of
the Jalteba Church, and charging at once, csp
'. red two field pieces and drove them, at the point
of the bayonet, into and through the city. The
rout comtuenccd almost within a second's struggle,
*.id the enemy dispersed in every direction. But
on Hi sides they were met by parties that Gen.
Walker had ordered to make a detour round the
lily, and their dispersion was complete.
It was estimated that about 400 of the allies
ere killed at Massaya, and an equal number at
Granada. Nearly eve y home onth» evening of tho
14'h, v. hen our informant left, wasfiiled with their
wounded. The loss of the Americans in both en

on ink Mississippi. —A correspondent of
the St. Louis Democrat, writing from Memphis, on
tiel6th inst, says that a duel was fought in the
vicinity ol that city on the day previous. It seems
that on the late trip of the steamer North Star,
trom New Orleans to this place, two of the pas-
M'i)<er», Col Charles Burgthal, from Philadelphia,
and Major Riegler, of Boston, who had been South
ouan electioutering tour,and were old friends,hav
ict; both served in European armies, got into a
> t ry warm discussion, the one defending democra
cy and the other republicanism, which resulted in
"flei'sivo language of a personal character against
Co!. Burgthal In the presence of so many passen
ger* the Colonel felt it incumbent on him to demand
a retraction of the insulting matter, which being
denied, a challenge and acceptance to fight were
soon nettled upon. Two Hungarian officers nam
-8 fczalay and T. Sbuitez, lately in the service of
V.'a'ker at Nicaragua, who were passengers on the
boat, volunteered as seconds. I'istois and fifteen
l a-pH were the terms proposed, but strange to say,
the seconds, the master of the boat, and al! the pas
sengers, including many ladies, opposed thepropo
i.. and contended that the fight should be had
with swr.ro's The Hungarians offered their sa
and the next day, on reaching Memphis, the
parties lauded and, procuring the attendance of a
l>r ilii!, also a passenger on the boat, proceeded to
some grounds adjoining tly c.ty, accompanied by
many of the lady and gentlemen passengers. The
duel was then fought with great fiercenen, and
resulted in the defeat of Major Iteigie, who, by the
superior skill of his adversary, received two ter
i tie cuts, the one on bis cheek and the other on
his thin, cauing him to drop on the fluid Re
turning to ihe boat, the wounds of the Major were
dressed, and a reconciliation of the parties was ef
fected.

Political Meeting ii» Philadelphia —No
F*mon.—A mas* meeting of "the trot frieads of
the candidates of the American parly aad Umm
opposed to tbe election of Buchaaaa tad Bracken
ridge." w»« fa«id la Philadelphia Monday night —
The Philadelphia Ledger give* the following ac
couat of the proceeding* :
At an early hour the Hall wa* filled, and aatal*-
takeable sign* were presented of a stron* and da
termlned disposition to oppoae the viewsofthl*
who ware Instrumental in call lag
Before any attempt wa* made to orgaaize the hall
: u ;» I °" r " d again with cheer* for KiU .ore
and Donetson, cheer* for Sander.on and groan*
•ouadV"*' * thou*and clamor* of coafaaed
iMbrener made an attempt at or
.Jmo,ed that Mr W.F.Smith be
•e ected a* President, and put the question. The
X£ n .,7 M 'fPoeded to by a few voice* In the
ailirmative, with a volley of noe*, too numerou*
to be counted, and wa* followed by lend and bois
terous clamors from all part* of the hall.
Mr. Smith came forward, and. after tbe nproar
bad measurably ceased, he essayed to address the
meeting He commenced by saying that bis.iden
titT with the American party bad warranted him
in sapposing that, when his name should be pro
pose.l for the presiding officer of a meeting, he
would at least be treated with respect and com
mon courtesy. He tuen said, "A* far a* lam
concerned, Igo for no fusion." At thi* point, a
torrent of hurras (was started, and the very walla
shook with *hont» of approbation A young fel
low, who wss apparently one of the leading aplriu
of tbe opposition, taken with ludden admiration of
this avowa! of Mr. Smith, shouted from the itand
at the top of hi* voice, "Let Mr. Smith be heard."
In a few moments comparative quiet wa* re
stored, and all anxious to hear Mr. Smith—none
more so than those in the opposition Mr. Smith
resumed, and said "but upon honorable term*."
This wa* enough, and such a scene of confusion
followed that beggars description. Hisses, groans,
cries of "won't do," "no go," "no fusion," with
.veil* and stamping drowned the speaker, and he
was compelled to desist.
At tbig point loud calls were made for Mr. John
M. Button, who cam® forward and made an earn
est appeal in favor of erder, so that the meeting
might proceed with the organization. Cheers were
given for Filljnore and Donelson, ' for John M.
Duttcn," and, after a short lapse of time, quiet bn
ifg partially restored, Mr Winebrener proceed
ed to name the Vice Presidents and Secretaries.
One of tho officers named was a Mr. Ueed
One or two voice* wanted to know what Mr. Keed
it was i
Mr. John S. Painter then read the preamble and
resolutions prepared for the ocaasion. The tenor
of the first of the series being stro igly favorable
to the American party, its principles and iu can
didates, they were allowed to be read without any
manifrgtaticn of disapprobation ; but there ap
peared to be an evident suipensioa ot feeling rea
dy to burst out at the first intimation of fusion.—
The breathless suspense was soon broken, for in a
subsequent resolution in which the Union ticket
was recognized as the surest means of carrying the
State of Pennsylvania against the Democratic
candidates, the most deafening noiße ensued with
hisseg and groans.
The reading was finally concluded, when Mr.
Dulton moved that the resolutions bn taken up
separately, or in [Voices —" No, take
them all together."] At this point Mr. Samuel
Lloyd, who arose on the floor of the hall, moved
to amend the resolutions proposed by substituting
those in favor of the Fusion Electoral Ticket,
adopted at the meeting held In the hall on Satur
day evening. This was followed by cries of "yes,
that's it," "let's have them," and "three cheers
for Mr. Lloyd."
The President then put the question on the mo
tion te adopt the substitute offered by Mr Lloyd,
and it was carried by thunders of ayes, and the
few nsys that were given were completely drown
od in hisses and groans. The resolution as amend
ed was then adopted with a strong demonstration,
and for a moment or two the triumph of the one
party over the other exhibited itself in shout* and
hurrahs of the most energetic and boisterous cha
racter, which was immediately succeeded by a
remarkable degree of stillness.
Hon. Jos. Cobb, of Miss., then made a speech,
after which there was another short season of si
lence and breathless suspense. This state of
things was, however, but temporary, for Mr. Geo
W. Heed, making his appearance in the body of
the hall and proceeding to the B'age, was the occa
sion of an outbtfrst of indignation from all parts
of the ball, but most especially near to and upon
the stage, after he had succeeded in getting there.
He was greeted with biases and cries of "traitor!"
"a second Levin!" and taunts, jeers, and evident
signs of intended personal violence. He was soon
surrounded, and so clearly significant were the de
monstrations of personal outrage, that by the ad
vice of friends, be quitted the stand (the rear of it)
amid the rude jostling of liia opponents, and, we
are satikfied, only escaped serious personal vio
lence by bis opportune departure from the place.
At this point of time the gas lights in the body
of the hall were partially extinguished, and total
darkness, confusion worse confounded, with se
rious injury to the vast crowd, seemed the inevita
ble result of the evening's demonstration. Tho
lights were subsequently restored, and one of two
speeches on the popular side wore made, when
tho meeting adjourned, amid loud hurras for eve
rybody and everything.
Thk Mistress of Louts Nai'OLKON.—The In
verness (Scotland) Advertiser says: Aipongct the
gay equipages which may be seen flaunting
throiifh Straihpefl'er at present ia one containing
a visitor of some notoriety. That fair lady with
the clear and beantiful English complexion, who
is sitting in the carriage alone with the smart
looking gentleman, has a history of her own; she
is—or was—no less a personage than Miss How
ard, the ci-devant mistress and should hare been
the wife of Louis Napoleon, Emperor of the
lr reuch. Her came is now changed to that of
Mrs Trelawnry, and her companion, who is said
to be allied to a noble English family, is her hus
band. The pair reside at a mansion bouse in ?ae
immediate vicinity of Strathpeffer, of whioh they
have a lease for some years. Days have changed
since the roti<? and special constable of London
took a fancy to the clever and beautiful girl, who
accompanied him to Paris, and who, according to
report, acted as his " guide, philosopher and
friend,' amidst the perilous chances of the presi
dentship and tho coup d'etat. The man about
town is now an Emperor, a husband, and Is now
the father of a legitimate prince; whilst bis former
bosom companion is buried in the Highland soli
tude, separated from tor children and all the
splendors of the Tuilleries.

Further Outraqks bt the Cheyenne In.
Dlans —The St. Louis Evening News, of the 24th
has tbe following: '
Mr. William Schoekendick has just reached this
city, direct from California, whence he came by
the route across the plains, and brings intelligence
of another atrocloas outrage committed by the
Cheyennes, of which his family were victims.
Mr. Sc-hoekendick, with his wife, four children
and the driver, (whose name we did not learn,)
were on their way to the States from California,
and had progressed to a point eighty miles this side
of Fort Kearney without molestation, when they
were suddenly attacked by a body of fifty or six
ty Cheyennes. Mrs Schoekendick, one child and
the driver were killed, and the mules of the train
stolen and carried off by the savages. Mr. Schoe
kendick himself managed to escape, with three
of bis children, leaving his wife, one child and the
driver on the field.
Important to the Cuba Trade —A paragraph
in the Prensa de la Ilabana, of the Isth instant,
states that according to a royal order, it has been
decreed that national or foreign vessels leaded with
fruit alone in ports of the Island of Cuba, shall in
future be required to pay tonnage, ponton and fanal
duties on only so many tons of fruit aa they may
have on board, and not as heretofore, on the whole
tonnage of the vessel; provided always that they
have no other cargo than fruit. And both these
provisions are made operative in all the island,
by a circular directed to the provinclcl governors
Lours Nafoleon Fears Assassination.—lt is
stated that arrests continuo to oe made in Paris of
individuals suspected of conspiring against the
life of the Emperor. The conduct of his Majesty
on the occasion of his return to Paris, and since,
gives the impression to the public that these ar
rests are based upon facts which fully warrant the
utmost rigor of the police. His entry into Patis
was private, unannounced as regards the hour,
and made under the most cautious circumstances
Hie carriage, which was closed, was surrounded
by mounted men, and instead of passing over the
usual route, they passed rapidly through the city
by the river quays.
Melancholy Rksitlt from Plat.—On Mon
day, two of the employees on the Washington
Railroad, named John Gaither and Rich'd Disney,
engaged at the Annapolis Junction, commenced
playing together and wrestling. John Gaither was
unfortunately thrown or fell across a rail, so injur
ing his spine as to can»e his death in a short time
afterwarda. They were both residents of Laurel,
Maryland.
Killed —Charles Callahan, the correspondent
of the N. O. Picayune, who accompanied General
Taylor's army during the Mexican war, and -who
forwarded to that paper the proceedings at Hava
na, during the Lopez expedition, was killed at the
battle of lian Jacinto, in Nicaragua. Hia commu
nications over the signature of "0. C. ( " were
widely read at those interesting periods.

Heport of the Executive Committee of the Agricul
tural Society —The report of the Executive Commit,
tee of the Virginia Agricultural Society, brieflynot c
ed jeiterrtay, alludes to the report made in 1855, re
commending engrafting an agricultural sohool at the
Virginia, and taja that "upon mature
reflection it was thought that courtesy towards trie
Board of Visitors required that the measuro prop.s
ed, affecting asit does both the orgaciiation ana fi
nances of the University, should come hefore the
Le*ulature th'oush thofe persons who are entrusted
with the guardianship of the institution. The Presi
dent therefore being requested t> confer with the
Bector and Visitors in reference to their petitioning
the Legislature on the subjeet, addressed a 'respectful
but urgent request to the Board of Visitors to ask of
'he Legislature such an appropriation of funds as
wouM enable the Board to established a professorship
of agriculture in that institution.'
With regard to the Inspection Laws, the Commit
tee say:
"They deprive the purchaser cf the guaranty of qua
lity, which would b<» otherwise required from the
seller and which a regard both for his character and
interest would prompt him to assure to the purchaser,
were it not that the inspection establishes an arbi
trary standard which exonerates the vendor from all
personal liability for defect in quality. It thus inter
poses a shield between him and the purchaser, and
leaves him without appeal or indemnity for damage
sustained in the purehase of en article which has
patsed the ordeal of inspection, thereby rendering
nugatory and vain the only planiible pretext for its
takiingauch enactments- the protection of buyers and
sellers from fraud. The want of uniformity and
equality in the operation of some of these laws is a
palpable violation of one of the cardinal principles of
good government.
"The inspection of guano and plaster, not te men
tion others, are so partial in their application as to
subject the cities of Richmond and Petersburg to a
burdensome excise of mure than seven thousand doi
lats per annum, while the other commercial cities—
Norfolk, Alexandria, Krederieksburg, fce., — enjoy
complete immunity from these discriminating exac
tions. Repeated application have been made for the
abolition of these inspections, as a useless tax apon
Agriculture, without countervailing advantage of any
kind; but these reasonable appeals to l he justice of tho
Legislature have been hitherto unvailing.
" The receipts of the Society are variable and un
certain in amounts being contingent en the success
of the yearly exhibitions. The annual contributions
due from members, exceeding eight thousand five
hundred in number, are seldom realized from many
whs do not attend the fairs Indeed, the idea exten
sively prevails, notwithstanding the clear and ex
plicit previsions of the constitution to the contrary,
that in btcomiog a member of the Society the rela
tion ceases at the end of the current year, and may
be renewed or not at pleasure by paying or with
holding the annual dues. Hence large arrears for the
years Itfi-i, '55 and '56 which arejustly due aocordi'<g
to the constitutional term of membership, will be a
total l»ss to the Society to the extent that the con
traiy construction of the obligation o f members prac
tically prevail. It is respectfully submitted wheth
er a change in the Constitution, limiting the term of
meinbersmp to the time for which payment is made,
would not, if adopted, prjve an effaetual remedy for
this evil

"By a rasolution of the Virginia Mechanics' Insti
tute, the Virginia Historical and Philosophical Soci
ety, and the Executive Committee of the Virginia
Btaie Agricultural Society, were invited to confer
with that Institute on the subject of erecting a suita
ble building for the accommodation of the three Soci
eties The conference asked was held by sub-com
mittees deputed from each body, who agreed upon a
report in the 'orrn of a joint memorial to the Council
of the city of Richmond, wbieh was accepted by the
scversl Sooietirs ann ordered to be presented to tbat
body The action taken by the Council has been to
refer the subject to the City Engineer, with initruc
t oa* to prepare, If practicable, a plan for tbe erec
tion ot a building on the site ef Lafayette Hall,
adapted to tha purpose of the three Societies, with
the intention, if found suitable, to bestow tbe prop
erty up.in them, in tbe manner and firm set forth
in Lhe memorial, a copy of which l* herewith sub
mitted to the Aisembly.
"The portrait* of John Taylor, of Caroline, tbe au

Ihese portraits will be preserved as grateful souve

James River and Kanawha Company.—At a meet
ing ot stockholders in this company, on Tuesday
evening, the committee to whom wag referred the
President'* communication made the following re
port, through their chairman, Mr Taliaeerko :
The committee to whom wu referred the annual
report of the President and Directors of the com
pany, with the aeeompaaying document* and other
paper*, hare examined the several robjecti embraced
therein, and report—
That they concur with the Board of Director*, in
the propriety of closing the contract* of the company
up t i the last of the current Jiir upon the moat ad
vantageous term*.
The necessity of such a recommendation i* moat
painful to your committee; hat it would be a*ele*eto
embarrass t£e company further, by an unsucoeesful
attempt to sustain it* operation*, without sur imme
diatei prospect of legislative aid. It is to be sincerely
hepea that the adoption of lhe recommendation* of
the stockholder* expressed at their last annual meet
ing, which your committee take occasion again to re
iteiate may enable thi* great work to be resumed
without the very heavy losses which would ultimately
be,. a tailed upon it by its protracted suspension

la view of the immense advantages to the trade of
Richmond which have been developed by the com

it a subject of importance to advise the propriety of

the Board o' Diieetors to that end, to the Council of
the city of Richmond, to add still farther to the im

tht Turn ~Th* career of two sulkies
drawn by the same number of magnificent aad
fa*t steeds, were brought to a snddea and violent
termination yesterday in tbe horse lot at the Pair
Ground*. The two were making tbe circuit of the
trotting course, in the same direction, whea tbe
one in the rear proving too fast for hi* competitor,
"'Si I without ceremony, and tbe two
vehicles were upset aad the drivers spilled oat on
the ground. One of the horses continued te run
at a tremendon* rate round the course for spme
time, but finally leaped over the barrier which
separates tbe spectators from tbe trseV running
over two children, but fortunately inflicting no
serious injury. 6
Interfiling Sight.—The State Fair wi« visited
vesterday of the inmates of the Rich mood
Male Orphan A avium. consisting of about for
ty little lads. They were ciothed In a neat
and comfortable uniform, and their fine ap]
pearance was the theme of general remark —
They appeared to take great interest in every
thing going on, and departed evidently well
pleaded with their first visit and the sights they
had seen.
Agricultural Addrr.it —At 12 o'clock yesterday,
the spacious tent on the Fair Grounds was crowd
ed to its utmost capacity to hear an address from
Governor Wise. The subject. "The Grand Phy
sical Development of the Resources of the State,"
was handled in a masterly manner, by the elo
quent orator. It was entirely an unpremeditated
and off hand effort, but was listened to with breath
less attention, and deserved the attention accord
ed to it.
Last night Wm. McGnffey, Esq, addressed a
large number of farmers, and friends to that inte
rest, at the African Church, on Agricultural to
pica.
Va. Slate Agricultural Fair—Second Day —The
grounds were thronged with visitors yesterday
from " early morn to dewv eve " All the avenues
of approach were filled with an eager crowd press
ing for admittance, while at a little distance might
be seen in the way of carriages and other modes
of conveyance, enough materials to fit out com
fortably several fnneral trains of large dimensions.
While all was hurly-burly and confusion without,
the multitude within were inspecting at will, the
various objects of interest, there congregated,
mixing in, making acquaintances, renewing
pledges of amity, or enjoying themselves ia oth
er sociable and rational ways.
To give some idea of the number present, we
have it on reliable data that there tb ere were not
les* than 13.0C0 persona around the Trotting
Course, while in the other parts of the grounds,
scattered here and there, the number largely ex
ceeded that sum. The number closely approxl
mated 30,000. By these fignres it will be seen that
the fourth annual Exhibition of the Va. State Agri
cultural Society ia in the fall tide of success. The
exhibition this year, in some respects fell behind
its predecessor; while in others and the most im
portant articles it far exceeds all others previous
ly held.
The ladies have net been backward in coming
forward. They were there, not in countless num
bers. but yet in imposing array. Every style of
beauty had a representative on the ground, and
such specimens of womankind as the Old Domln
ion only can raise- Lovely and beautiful tbey are
at all times, and to the Reporter not the leait at
tractive feature of the exhibition. Having no de
sire to iinmoiate time and valuable space on the
altar of words, we conclude by assnring all who
have not gone, that tbey will find there much to
interest, instruct and amuse them.
Fire Company Ifo. s.—On Tuesday night, the
members of No. 5 were entertained in a most ele
gant manner by their Commander, Mr. J. Oscar
Goode, at Griffin's American Saloon. A supper,
composed of every luxury that could be desired,
was partaken of, after which several hours were
agreeably passed in social enjoyment Sentiment?,
in response to calls, were uttered by Commander
Fry of No. 3, Commander Addington of No. 1.
Commander Easly of No. 8, Commander Goode of
No 5, and Commander Virgiuiua Bossieux of
No 2, and nany others; and songs were sangfby
several of the gentlemen present, in a style so ex
celleut as to elicit great applause. After the close
of the festivities, the company and guests proceed
ed to the residence of Captain Goode and sen •
naded his lady, a compliment which was duly an
knowledge*! ; and then the company proceeded to
the engine house aud dispersed.
We deem it proper to say, that on this occasion
Niagara Company did everything that mortals
could do to impart pleasure to the guest* who were
present by invitation; and they may be assnrt-d
that the pleasing remembrance of the event will
forever linger in the memory, a* an oasis in the
toilsome and troublous journey of life. May Five
and her generous commander forever prosper, and
may each succeeding year add fresh laurels to the
company and the happiness of the members.
Mayor's Court —We are glad to announce that
the Mayor has bad no cases to dispose of during
the past two days. Tbe only regret we feel arises
from tbe reflection that the police have not been
able to capture some of those rascally pickpocket*
now infesting the city. We hope they will keep a
•harp look out.
Pird of Paradise —Hundred* of our citizens
have never bad an opportunity of seeing a live
"Bird of Paradise,'' a native of Africa, and would
no doubt be gratified to have the privilege of doiog
so. AU smcb can see this beautifal little songster,
in rich plumage, at the Fair of the Mechanic*' In
stitute.
Pickporknt.—These detestable rascals pursued
a thriving business yesterday and the evening be
fore. We have heard of the following losses, and
doubtless there were others not made known to
the police. Joseph Wither*, of Caroline, lost
$120 ; Mr. Frayzier, of SpotUvlvanla, $65; a phy
sician, from London eounty, $130 ; and the Rev.
A. M Poindexter lost a considerable amount —
The watchmen arrested an individual named Win
Dunn, at tbe Petersburg depot, on suspicion of
stealing Mr. Poindexter'* money, and the Mayor
has fixed upon Friday as the time for hi* examina
tion.
The L»it Ship, a drama of extraordinary Inter
eat, comprising scenic representations more beau
tiful than any ever before produced in Richmond,
will be repeated at the Theatre to night. We risk
nothing in predicting that the house will be crow
ded A capital fare* concludes the performance.
The management announce that Edwin Booth,
son ef the greatest tragedian that ever lived, w 1.1
appear Saturday night. Most of the tragedies of
Shakspeare will be produced daring Ms engage
ment.
If'fman, the Wizard and Ventriloquist, gives
another of hi* attractive exhibitions to-night at
Metropolitan HalL We have been informed that
among Wyman's tricks is the following, bat we
don't vouch much for the truth of the story: Pat
ting a side of leather into bis month, he straight
way takes boot* and shoes, all manufactured, from
his ears. If be don't do this, ha perform* other ex
periments, equity astonishing.
The Strut* and the Vu.'.—Owing to the admira

proprietor of tha Niagara watering machine, the
ciliscns and strangers visiting the ci'y, are at pre
