From the El Nicaraguenese of May 17th | FUNERAL OF CAPT. WALKER. | On Thursday afternoon, at 2 o'clock, Capt. James Walker, of Company A, Second Light Infantry Battalion, died at Massaya, and was buried in this city yesterday. Capt. Walker was the youngest brother of Gen. Wm. Walker, and only arrived in this city about three weeks ago. Owing to an exposure in the service of the State, he was seized with inflammatory rheumatism, which subsequently resulted in bis untimely death. During his illness, Capt. Walker was attended with all the care that could be bestowed; and much credit is due to Capt. John McCardle, who attended him at his bed during his entire sickness. Senor Francisco Bravo, Governor of Massaya — a gentleman whose feelings and ability always prompt him to acts of kindness towards Americans — is also spoken of by the attendants of Capt. Walker as most unremitting and solicitous in his care. Before his death, Capt Walker confessed himself and received the holy sacrament administered by the Catholic Church; and his last wish was to be buried as a true believer in that religion. After his death, a party of sixteen natives was detailed to bring the corpse to this city. This morning, under the charge of Capt. Williamson, Quartermaster, a suitable coffin was provided, and at 11 o'clock, the funeral procession formed on Heina street, and, accompanied by the heads of the civil department, the garrison soldiers, and a large and brilliant array of native and American officers, together with American citizens in town, proceeded across the Plaza, and to the Cathedral, where High Mass was performed, in the presence of a large attendance of the population. Afterwards the funeral cortege moved off to the cemetery, and the body was interred with the solemn ceremonies of the Catholic religion. A brave man, an accomplished gentleman and a general favorite has thus passed away, and is to-day exalted among the "spirits that inhabit eternity." The Nashville Union and American, 8 Jun 1856.
