Extract from a letter from
New Orleans, of the 8th, lú? to the
San Antonio Herald-
Gen. Wm. Walker is progressing be-
yond all expectation in his efforts to
raise funds to renew liis enterprise.
Another lot of the Nicaragua Fili-
busters has been brought to the Uni-
ted States by the sloop-nf-war Cyane,
and landed at Boston. I pity them, if
they receive no more sympathy there
than those landed in New York.—
They would have fared better in Nic*
aragua. Between two and three hun-
dred more are on the United States
steam frigate Roanoke, who are to be
landed at New York. It seems to me
that this is done for the purpose of pre-
venting any o( these men from joining
Gep. Walker, when he returns to Ni-
caragua. This was unnecessary.—
There are but few of them that Gen.
Walker would take with him. When
he returns to Nicaragua again, he
wants men to accompany him—men
of uerve and who possess some pride
of character—men who aré actuated
by some higher motive than $25 per
month. Had his army been compo-
sed of men of this character, Gen.
Walker's success would have been
complete, notwithstanding the many
combinations arrayed against him.—
But unfortunately "for his cause many
of the men composing his army did
not possess sufficient energy to enjoy
good health. I am proud to say that
the few Texians with Gen. Walker
did their duty cheerfuly and gallantly
to the last. Only one Texian deserted
while I was in Nicaragua.
The next time Gen. Walker enters
Nicaragua it will be with a regu-
regularly appointed army, composed
of good men and true, who will go
fully determined to conquer. The re-
sult will not be all doubtful. As soon
as the people of that country see a
sufficient American force there is to
protect them from their tyrant mas-
ters, the war will be at an end. The
mass of the people of Nicaragua
wish the Americans to give them a
permanent and liberal Goverement.
Yours, J. M. W.
From the West Tennessee Wfcjg.
The Glutltardea. .
Miles Dardim.—Sometime ago we
gave a few facts in regard to the weight
and dimentions of this extraordinary
man and promised our reader through
the courtesy of a gentleman in Hen-
derson county, farther items of interest.
The friend we referred to was Rev.
John Brooka, whose veracity has never
been questioned by any one. He
writes as follow:
"Mr. Darden waa born in North
Carolina, in the year 1798, and died
in Henderson county, Tenn., on Ian.
23d, 1857, in the fifty-ninth year of hie
age. He joined the Baptist Churoh
in early life, and shortly after emi-
grated to Tennessee, where he connec-
ted himself with the Christian Church.
He was a kind, obliging neighbor, and
fond of company, About fifteen years
ago he joined the Masons. He w^s
married twice. His children are very
large. He was quite active and lively,
ana labored until about four years
ago.
In 1849 he made a contract With a
tailor to furnish him a suit of clothes
for fifly dollars—the cloth was to cost
$5 per yard. Upon measurement it
took twelve yards of cloth. So the
tailor lost ten dollars and the ma-
king.
In 1860 it took 13¿ yards of flax
cloth, yard wide, to make him a coat.
It took 16 yards of cambric for his
shroud—23 yards of velvet to cover
the sides and lid of his coffin, and 125
feet of lumber to make his coffin.
His coffin was eight feet long,
Across the breast 32 inches.
" head 17 "
" foot 14 "
Its depth 35 "
He weighed in 1845, 891 pounds,
His height was 7 ft. 6 inches.
His weight when he died was a frac-
tion over 1000 pounds.
The Great Elevator.
The Christian Advocate appears
this week in a new suit. Under its
present business manager it is bound to
go ahead. Friend A ye is puts on no
vain wordly airs, but David with the
sling did not understand the science of
propulsion better than our old friend
David, with whatever he takes in hand.
Since the termination of the eleven
league suit in his favor, he has dropped
the weary and storm-tossed mariner's
cry for land. His league with the Ad-
vocate now employs all his energies,
and, having secured enough of the
broad acres of Texas, he is carrying on
a sort of siege of Acre for the "happy
land, far, far, away." Being deter-
mined to read his title clear, he has ta-
ken the Advocate out of the long prim-
mer, to which its reading matter has
heretofore been confined, and it now
rejoices in burgeois—not the sec-
ond class French article; but the best
New York Fifth Avenue cut. So that
he that reads may run, provided he
does not run a long account with the
Advocate, but pays punctually, in order
to furnish fuel for fighting Satan with
his own weapons. If "Satan trembles
when he sees the humblest sinner on
his knees," he may as well give it up
when friend Avers and iiis associates,
backed by our steam machine, and
Erivate devil, offers him a stand-up
atlle, for the championship of Texas.
If he "is not as black as he ispainted,"
printer's ink must tell on him in the
end.—[Civilian.
The Pacific Overland Party.—
On Wednesday last we had the pleas-
ure of a few minutes conversation
with Col. James B. Leach who is en-
gaged in surveying a route for the
purpose of carrying the overland
mail from the Mississippi river to the
Pacific. The parly consists of forty
wagons and one hundred men, and
will strike an air line from here to
Preston, Texas, from which point it
will travel in a westc! ly direction, and
strike the Rio Grande fifteen miles
north of El Paso. Thence the survey
will continue to Ft. Quma and San
Francisco by the most practicable
route. We have no idea of the time it
will take to survey this route and make
the road passable for mail stages; but
with the force of the government and
contractors to press it forward, we
hope to see the work consumated at
the earliest practicable day.—Little
Rock [Ark] Gazette.
Indians on the Texas Frontier.—
Advices were this morning received by
the Indian Bureau from the Indian
agent on the Texas frontier, stating
that the Indians in that region were
quiet and well contented.—[States,
03?=* This is news to us out here in
Texas.
The Louisiana sugar crop promises
300,000 hhds, against 78,000 of last
year.
There are 60,000 more widowers
than widows in New York eity.
A Southern gentleman at a North-
ern hotel, perceiving that the dining
room servant, a negro, was bestowing
his attentions elsewhere, to his own
neglect, called up John and accosted
him in this wise:
" John, I have servants at home,
and am waited on as a gentleman
should be. I am neglected here, and
am tired of it. I give you fair notice
that I will whip you like a dog, unless
you behave better."
The consequence was, that John be-
came attentive during the few days
that the gentleman remained. On his
leaviug, John was called up and pre-
sented with a dollar or two, which he
thus acknowledged:
"Thank'ee master. Southern gen-
tlemen always so—lick us like blazes
if we don't wait on 'em well, but when
dey go, dey allers gibs us a dollar or
two. Now deso abolishun gemmen
mighty hard to suit, and want much
waitin' on, an' when dey go 'way
shake yer hand, look up to de wall
an' say, 'God bress you, my unfortu-
nate friend, and elewate you in the
scale of humanity,' or sumthin' like
dat, but dey neber gib us a dollar to
elewate us wid." .

THE best family Medicine now before
the public for the cure of Scrofula, Ul-
cers, Scurvey, eruptions of the skin, Fever
and ague, Dyspepsia, Dropsy, and in fact
most all diseases soon yield to their curative
properties.
It has been computed that during the
last twenty five years upwards of Four mil-
lions of persons have been benefitted by
the use of these medicines; a faet which
speaks volumes in favor of their curative
properties—a single trial will place them
beyond the reach of competition in the es-
timation of everv patient. By their use the
blood is restored to a healthy state and freed
from all impurities. The system it not re-
duced during their operation, but invigora-
ted, and they require no restraint from busi-
ness or pleasure.
The afflicted have in these medicines a
remedy that will do for them all that medi-
cine can possibly effect

PURIFY THE BLOOD.
MOFFAT'S LIFE PILLL AND PHCENIX
BITTERS.
THE great popularity with which Mof-
fat's Life Pills and Phoenix Bitters have
attained, in consequence of the extraordina
ry cures effected by their use, renders it un-
necessary for the proprietor to enter into a
particular analysis of their medicinal vir-
tues or properties. Having been more than
twenty years before the public, and having
the united testimony of Three Millions of
persons who have been restored to the enjoy-
ment of perfect health by them, it is be-
lieved that their reputation as the best ve-
getable medicine now before the public,
admits of no dispute. In almost every city
apd village in the United States, there are
many who are ready to testify to their effi-
' g disease, and giving to the
cacy in removing
whole system renewed vi|
and health.
In cases of Scrofula, Ülcers, Scurvy, or
Eruptions of the skin, the operation of the
Life Medicines is truly astonishing, often
removing in in few days every vestige of
those loathsome diseases,by their purifying
effects on the blood. Fever and Age e, Dys-
pepsia, Dropsy, Piles, aud in short most all
diseases, soon yield to their curative prop-
erties. No family should be without them,
as by their timely use much suffering and
expense maybe saved. Prepared by
