your toils and your efforts are sure in the end to win success. With us there can be no choice; honor and duty call on us to pursue the path we have entered, and we dare not be deaf to the appeal. By the bones of the mouldering dead at Masaya, at Rivas, and at Granada, I adjure you never to abandon the cause of Nicaragua. Let it be your waking and your sleeping thought to devise means for a return to the land whence we were unjustly brought. And, if we be but true to ourselves, all will yet end well. THE END.

Mobile, Ala.] FOOTNOTES [1] It may be proper to say that these passages were written before Mr. Seward delivered in the Senate, his masterly speech of the 29th February, 1860. However much a person may differ from the Senator’s views, it is impossible not to approve the force and vigor of his thoughts and language. The writer deems it a great error, on the part of Southern men, to attempt to belittle the intellect, or depreciate the motives of the leaders of the anti-slavery party. The higher their intellects, the purer their motives, the more dangerous are they to the South. [2] The resolutions were written by Hon. P. Soulé. [3] Hon. A. H. Stephens was among the few public men of the South who clearly perceived the full importance of the Nicaraguan movement. [4] The writer is principally indebted for the incidents of the operations at Granada between the 24th November and 12th of December to the “_Personal Recollections of Nicaragua,” by Gen. C. F. Henningsen, author of “Recollections of Russia,” and “Twelve Months’ Campaign in Spain_.” [5] His Excellency James Buchanan. [6] The commander-in-chief referred to was probably Commodore Mervine. The latter was an old and intimate friend, as the author has been told, of Secretary Marcy; and both he and Davis were sent to the Pacific in January, 1857. Undoubtedly both of them received verbal instructions far more precise and definite, than their written orders. Soon after Davis reached Panama, direct from New-York, he took command of the St. Mary’s and sailed for San Juan del Sur. [7] The paternal grandfather of Captain Fayssoux was chief surgeon of the Carolina forces during the war of Independence; his maternal grandfather was General Irvine, who commanded a division under Washington at the crossing of the Delaware.
