Important from Nicaragua.
New York, Dec. 11.—The steamer Wash
ington has arrived from Nicaragua. On the
15th and 16th she was boarded by a boat froin
the United States frigate Savanah.
The Savanah and Jamestown, the British
ships of war Leopard and Valorous were iu
port. Sir Gore Ouslev was on board the lat
ter vessel.
1 lie Arovernmeni reiuscu in allow tut; uaMi
ington’s passengers to go through the country,
alledging that they were filibusters. The
steamer Catharine Mondhas been sent to Gre
nada to obtain permission to land her passen
gers in case the steamer Hermann should ar
rive at San Juan.
The Washington was boarded by the Eng
lish officers from the Leopard and Valorous,
with their side arms. They were referred to
the officers of the Savannah, by whom they
had been boarded. The officers replied that
they were instructed to get such information
as they could, direct. They did not insist on
the opening of the hatches. They left the
place the same day. The Leopard went to
the mouth of the Colorado to insercept two
hundred and fifty filibusters, whom it was re
ported had landed from the Washington the
previous night. One boat couldn’t get to San
Juan on account of the low water, and then
went to the mouth of the Colorado. The offi
cers of the Leopard were sent back to chase
us with a howitzer and small arms,but finding
no filibusters aboard, they returned to Grey
town. The Roanoke arrived at Greytown with
She news that the Hermann had gone to San
Francisco. Col. Childs, the company’s agent,
had returned from Grenada, having been un
successful; finally, the Government being sat
isfied that there were no filibusters aboard the
Washington, the Hermann and Washington
were permitted to land at Virgin Ray. The
agent of the company proceeded to San Juan
del Sur, to look after the Hermann. The
Jamestown arrived at Aspinwall on the 28th,
in company with the Moses Taylor; after
wards, no orders coming for the Washington’s
pessengers to proceed on the mail route, they
returned to New York.
Important from Washington.
Washington, December II.—The recent
escape of the filibusters from Mobile creates
intense excitement here in official quarters.
It is feared that if they are arrested by the
British or othei»foreigu forces, tile volunteer
feeling in the country will be aroused, and
immense reinforcements go to the rescue.
The Washington Union says it hopes that our
naval vessels may yet intercept the schooner
Susan, and thereby preserve the filibuster ques
tion a little longer, as a purely domestic one,
and that upon the vigilance of our officers in
the gulf depend in a great measure the peace
of the world.

Des Arc, Ark., October 30, 1858.-ly
Jackson House for Sale.
fTIHE undersigned is desirous to sell the
JL above House, which is situated in Des
Arc. The house is a brick building contain
ing twelve rooms—connected therewith is a
frame dining room, 45 feet long, 15 feet wide.
Also, connected is an office with u good Bar
and a back room—each 18 feet square. There
is, also, another tenement disconnected from
the main building, suitable for a Barber Shop
—it is now oceupied as a Silver-smith Shop. I
There is in all sixteen rooms. There is a good
Livery Stable within 30 yards of the premises.
I ain not anxious to sell because the business
will not pay, but on account of my health
being bad, I cannot give rny personal attention
to the House. I venture the assertion that j
this tavern has cleared more money for the j
amount invested than any other business in |
the State. It is situated within 100 yards of
the Steamboat Landing, immediately on the
main street. The U. S. Mail Stage Office is
kept at this House.
Terms.—Orie-third cash ; balance in one and
two years, with a lien on the property until
the last payment is made.
If not sold by the 1st day of January
next, this property will be for rent or lease.
