la- ; —Conflicting Statements.—On our wirc-iii-ialadleasinKiiseridfourth page will be found a letter written dis in Nicaragua, by a passenger: haIlis statements are contradicted by one re: Jerome II. Johnson, who writes in the no State Journal, that he has just returned m: from Nicaragua, that he is a citizen of that de\ country, and is “ acquainted with Gen. tin .: Walker’s position, condition and prospects, Bi and pronounces the whole of the state-, ments in Winkley’s letter in regard tofo!cholera, the condition of the army, the I ^ ! feelings of the soldiers, their number, and rC£ the prospects of Walker, c., to be wick- pa; edly and meanly false, fabricated and malicious.! D1tototierem•0retoyti-iaff;msOne Wm. M. Ormsby, who left San Juan with Johnson on December 7th, “un-1 ^ hesitatingly states,” that the latter’s dec- da laration “is correct, to the best of hisknowl- fui edge and belief.” Ormsby further says: jan“ My opportunities of knowing were j ^lat]lt;rthose of an aid to Gen. Walker most of the time. I was in three battles—I have wi] served in other places, and I have never ^ seen an army of men more devoted to a an commander than the soldiers in Walker’s service are to him, and the opinion now ^ exists that men are sent there for the ex-S j press purpose of getting into the army forthe purpose of deserting it and striving todegrade it.” 1 KlticIdi* ? •“gI las
