Continuation ef the War—@eneral Munos at the Heat of the Revolutionary Army—Dismay of the Govern- inent—Republican Principle Involved in the Struggle— The Parties—Causes Exciting the Oontest— Guatemala and Costa Rica. The war here seems destined to beecme still mora obstinate and bloody. General Muncs, the most re nowned military chief of Cemtral America, has taken command of the whole revolutionary army, which he bas completely reorganized, having received five hun- dred veterans from the army of Gen. Cabanas, of Hon- duras, as a nucleus. The sbility of Gen. Munos, his character ae disciplinariam, his fame as a scientific and thoroughly practical warrior, are well known to the government party, and have very materially dampened itssrdor. They know that they have no equal to pit against him, and dread te meet him. They were march- ing upon the city of Leon, which, they said, would yield at their approach; but learning that Manos commanded there, they halted at Managus, where they have remain- ed till the present, Thia revolution is emphatically a war of principle, as wuch £0 a8 wae our own revolation; hence its obstinacy, A principles vital principle—fer republicanism in Cen- tral America, is staked upom the issue of this re- volution. It is a struggle between progression and re- action; between liberalism and despotism; between ro. publicanism and monarchy; between the systems of the New and the O11 World. On one side are ranged the liberals of Nicaragua and the republican government of Honduras, with the sympathies of San Salvador, all ardent supporters: of the Am¢rican principle of man’s oapasity to govern him: te)f—that ia, te choose his own rulers, and hold them responsible for their stewardship. On the other, are the “gervilee,”’ re-actionists or momarchists of Nicaragua, the kingdom (as the official gazettes of San Salvador justly call it,) of Guatemala, and tho oligarchy of Conta Rica, with the sympathies of all the European morarch‘es. This contest originated im am attempt by the govern ment of Nicaragna to establiab the system of govern. mnt them existing in Guatemala, and st present in ops- ration in Costa Rica.
