river and the brackish marshes would be equally desirable; another from the river at Valencia, and, if possible, also from its head-waters at Ternel; another from the river Segura at Murcia, and somewhere in the mountains from its head-waters. Granada would afford particular interest as showing what its mountain streams feed. A collection from the Almeria River at Almeria, or from any of the small rivers of the southern coast of Spain, would do; and it would be the more interesting if another from the river Xenil could be obtained at or near Granada, to compare with the inhabitants of the waters upon the southern slope of the Sierra Nevada. Next would come the Guadalquivir, from which a collection should be made at San Lucar, with the brackish water species; another at Seville or Cordova, one among the head-waters from the Sierra Nevada, and another from the mountains of the Mancha. From the Guadiana a collection from Villa Real, with the brackish species; one from Badajoz, an

ot riflemen, of which Joseph E. Johnston was lieutenant-colonel. He served as adjutant at Contreras and Churubusco, and led a company at Molino del Rey and Chapultepec, where he was mentioned as distinguished. After the war had ended and the regiment had been disbanded at Fort McHenry, Md., he, with a party of other young men, went across the plains to California, where he remained until 1856. Going then to Nicaragua, he joined Walker's expedition as colonel and general. He commanded at Granada and defeated the army of Guatemala. After the failure of that expedition he returned to San Francisco, continuing there until the autumn of 1859, when he went to Alabama and, settling at Tallassee, engaged in cotton manufacturing until the opening of the civil war. On July 19, 1861, he was commissioned colonel of the Thirteenth Alabama infantry. Reporting at once with his regiment at Richmond, he was ordered to Yorktown, where he remained until its evacuation.

s under Ferdinand among the mountains of Andalusia, sought a new career of glory in more remote adventures. The weapons that had been tried in the battles with the Moors, and the military skill that had been acquired in the romantic conquest of Granada, were now turned against the feeble occupants of America. The passions of avarice and religious zeal were strangely blended; and the heroes of Spain sailed to the west, as it they had been bound on a new crusade, where infinite wealth was to ree indulged, that the laws of nature themselves would yield to the desires of men so fortunate and so brave? Juan Ponce de Leon was the discoverer of Florida 1512 His youth had been passed in military service in Spain: and, during the wars in Granada, he had shared in the wild exploits of predatory valor. No sooner had the return of the first voyage across the Atlantic given an assurance of a New World, than he hastened to participate in the dangers and the fruits of adventure in America.

yed against each other; and bondage was the reciprocal doom of the captive. Bigotry inflamed revenge, and animated the spirit of merciless and exterminating warfare. France and Italy were filled with Saracen slaves; the number of them sold into Christian bondage exceeded the number of all the Christians ever sold by the pirates of Barbary. The clergy, who had pleaded successfully for the Christian, felt no sympathy for the unbeliever. The final victory of the Spaniards over the Moors of Granada—an event contemporary with the discovery of America—was signalized by a great emigration of the Moors to the coasts of Northern Africa, where each mercantile city became a nest of pirates, and every Christian the wonted booty of the successful corsair Servitude was thus the doom of the Christian in Northern Africa: the hatred of the Moorish dominion extending to all Africa, an indiscriminate and retaliating bigotry felt no remorse at dooming the sons of Africa to bondage.

ated with the expedition be organised against Cuba, under the immortal Quitman, in 1854. The defence and destruction of Granada form the most brilliant episode of the war in Nicaragua, and furnish the most splendid proof on record of the invincibleowess and terrible audacity of the American volunteer in battle, when properly led. For nineteen days did Henningsen, in Granada, with less than 300 men, resist the allied forces of Guatemala, Honduras, and Costa Rica, with the insurgents of Nicaragabandon the position, which order he obeyed, after planting a standard on the main plaza, with the inscription "aqui fus Granada"-- "here stood Granada" He commanded in the three days combat at Masaya, and at the memorable battle of Obraje He directGranada" He commanded in the three days combat at Masaya, and at the memorable battle of Obraje He directed the defence of Rivas, March 28 and April 11. when the allies, who penetrated into the town, were all killed or captured.

Van-Dorn's Recent Exploits — Memphis not Attacked. Mobile, Dec. 29. --A special to the Advertiser dated Granada 28th, says Van-Dorn captured and paroled over 2,300 prisoners, destroyed over $3,000,000 worth of Federal stores, burnt a thousand bales of cotton, took 1,000 army revolvers, 5,000 stand of small arms, horses and mules, and a large amount of other property. Van-Dorn did not go in the vicinity of Memphis, as it was too strongly fortified and garrisoned, and for the same reason he avoid Bolivar; but captured all their pickets and burnt the bridges and trestle work on all the railroads necessary for their line of communication. Our loss was not over thirty. Forrest did not attack Jackson, but has been tearing up the railroad track and doing good service generally Van-Dorn's whole force was 2,750 men. The reported attack on Memphis was a partisan ranger raid, which gave the Yankees a big scare.
