The military will be formed into line in Fourteenth street, with the right on Broadway, at eleven o'clock, and after marching throngh Broadway and Chambers wteeet into the Park, will there be reviewed by the Governor. The Mayor and members of the city gov- ernment will also be present at the review, which takes place at one o'clock. The old Veteran Corps will also celebrate the day at the Brevoort House, im Fifty-fourth street, by firing & national salute, shooting at a target, and cating a capital dinner. The meeting between Mr. Randolph avd General Goicouria did not take place yesterday, in conse quence of the parties not being able to agree as to “distance and mode,’ although they agree that the weapons shall be pistols. Mr. Randolph insists that fhe distance shal! not exceed six paces, which has ‘Bot yet heen assented to by his antagonist. The trial of Lewis Baker for the murder of Wil- Tham Poole commenced yesterday at Newbarg, before Judge Peabody. A preliminary plea as to jarisdic- Son was overruled, and an attempt made to procure a jury. Four jurors were obtained, when the panel being exhansted,a new one was summoned. At ‘tachments were also takeu out against sach witness- es as were not in atiendance. The Surrogate yesterday made a decision im the ease of the will of George M. Tanison, a wealthy merchant of this city, who died on the 24th of July last, leaving the principal portion of his large estate to his wife. The important testimony taken during the probate of the will was published at the time in the Heraty. The parties contesting the will ex- pected larger bequests from the deceaser| than those given in the will, and they contest it npon the grounds ‘ef undue infuence exersixed over deceased by his wife, of declarations and promises previously made to vther parties, of incompetency to make a will ‘epon his death bed, and from the fact of his having bequeathed a larger amount of property than he possessed. The Surrogate ably reviewed all the testi- mory nthe case, and decided in favor of the will. As there are several other cases now before him, in- volving large amounts of property, and having simi, lar questions at issue, this decision is peculiarly im portant, and will be ‘ound printed in full in another column. In snother column will be foand the relation of a singular case of marriage and death, all occurring im the short space of half an bour or less. The principals in this melancholy affeir were Dr. James HL Bogardas and Miss Isabella Hamilton, both of Kingston. The Doctor arrived in this city on Mon- day of last week, and took apartments at the Gi yard Llouse. He complained of being unwell at the time, and, at the instigation of a physician, Miss Hamiltoo, to whom be was to be married on Taes- ay, was sent for. She arrived on Sunday; they were married ot balf-past two o clock, and in twenty mino'es afterwards he was a corpse.

Wise and his Junta Backing @ut from Jefferson Davis, and Putting in for the Spells. We spread before our readers. this morning, a very interesting chapter of newspaper extracts— North and South, democratic and opposition—in reference to the prospects and policy of Mr. Bu- chanan’s administration, and the desperate chances of the democratic party for 1860. The inquiring reader of every party will discover in these extracts a good many curious facts, disclos- ures, arguments, confessions, aud anxieties, re- garding the policy of Mr. Buchanan, the chances for Kansas ag a slave State and asa free State, the tribulations of the democracy, and the distri- bution of the spoils. Among the democratic journals, the Richmond Enquirer ia one of the very few that has had the temerity 10 yentnre upon the delicate ground of Mr. Buchanan’s policy in advance of some defi- nite foreshadowings from Wheatland. Bat the sbiinhing caution of its democratic cotempora- ries was not the thiag tor the Enquirer ; and so, upon the heels of the election, it proceeded to remind Mr. Buchanan very foreibly of his South- erm * obligations’ and “pledges,” and of the important fact thot he was elected by the extraor- diary eilorts ef the South, without which he would have been defeated by the treachery of the Northern democracy. This waz, how- ever, before the late visit of Gov. Wise to Wheat- land, as was also tue Hnguirer’s article on the military strength and resources of Vir- ginia, in the event of being driven to dis union and civil war by a faithless administra tion—-faitbless to the blood and thunder slavery extending and Southern confederacy policy of Wise, Mason, Jefferson Davis, ex-Secretary Wall Soulé, and Gen. William Walker. The pilgrimage of Governor Wise to Wheat- lJond has resulted in a wonderful change in the tone and drift of the Richmond Junta, as revealed through their organ—it is, in fact, the most re- markable thing that has occurred since the elec- tion. This fiery Junta, from having demanded Kansas as a sine gua non, and the absolate control of the government and the party as their right, and at the hazard of disunion. and an appeal to the well-stocked cannon foundries and arsenals of Virginia, Lave, as it were, between the setting and the rising of the ‘sun, grounded their arms and sold out everything for a mess or two of pot- tage. With the return of Governor Wise from Wheatland. he and his whole fire-eating Junta become as harmiess as sucking doves. Ia its leader of Saturday last, the Unquirer urges upon the democracy the support of Mr. Buchanan, without a why or a wherefore, as the only hope for the party and the only chance for the spoila. This is the first split in that disanion Southern conftderacy organization, lately extendiag from Richmond to New Orleans. The chivalry repre- sented by the Charleston ifercury and the New Orleans Delia are thus betrayed and deserted before the expiration of November, by the very cliqne upon whom they had counted to head their torees in heading off Mr. Buchanan. But what clee was to be expected ? From the decrease in the net profits upon niggers, from the doubtful prospect of an increase in the price of niggers in the set/lement of the Kansas issue, What else was left te these Richmond spoilsmen but an anconditional surrender for a share of the poils—Kansas or no Kansas, niggers or no nig- gers? Let Davis fume, and jet the South Caro- linians rage, what is it all to Governor Wise and his Richmond Junta, so that they have a share in the Cabinet offices, the foreign missions, and the public printing accruing to the faithful demo- cracy under Mr. Buebanan? From the days of the ancient regime of this Richmond Junta, when Father Ritchie was the head of it and the tail, to this day, when the redoubtable Governor Wise is the head, and the fighting Master Pryor the tail, the aim and end of all platforms, all candidates, all devices, with this Janta, has been the single object of the spoils. Now that Mr. Buchanan is elected, and their hullabaloo of disunion has serve] its purpose, this patriotic Junta will, if ne- cessary, denounce Atchison, denounce Pierce, and join the Northern Kansas Aid Socicties, -ooner than relinquish their hold of the spoils. In this view we may readily account for the intiated culogium of Marey in the Richmond FPrqwive of yesterday, Marey has done something for Master Pryor in that late roving commission to Greece: and the eredulons old ’remier may gain in the matter of another foreign Inietion or two to the family concern of the An- quire. We remember, when Mr. Dix was first hit upon by poor Pierce as the proper man for Minis ter to France, how successful was the hue and cry of “free soil” and “abolition” raised t Dix by the Lagwirer kindred or- and how nicely they frightened off poor aa Pierce from Mr. Dix, and how nicely they slipped an orthodox Virginian in his pls We are quite sure, too, that that appoiatment of Mr. Mason with the Richmond Junta was a¢ clearly the salvation of the Union at that crisis as is the jon of Mr. Buchanan at this. We have no doubt that with Fremont’s election the Union been saved at Richmond in precisely the same way. Governor Wise was good enough to tell us #0 before the election, although be was then a flaming conspirator in view of the chances of Buchanan's defeat, and the consequent defeat of an increase ia the price of niggers. Fur- thermore, this Riebmond Junta may be play- ing off Marcy a# against General Case, for the latter in the Cabinet would certainly be under no “pledges” or “obligations” to play into their hands. Thus much for the disunion, fire-eating Rich- mood Junta of Wise and Company. They eat their own words—they desert their allies —they betray their cause of nullification; they promise everything and acerpt everything for the spoils. Such is the “cohesive power of the public plun- der” with the Virginia nullification democracy. We leave them to settle their affairs with their more independ: could b Carolina, Georgia, Mis-iesippi, Missouri and Louisiana. Should they also agree, one and all, | to follow sait and surrender upon trust, then indeed is the Union secure and the democratic party consolidated: provided, always; that the spoils go round.

Why, then the only policy of Mr. Buchanan is the constitution, the Union, and the henest fulfilment of the or- ganic law of Kansas, and her consequent admis- tion inte the Union as a free State. This poticy will not only render Southern spoilsmen and dis- unionists harmless for the fature, but it will re- bnild the democratic party in the North, and break the republican ranks to pieces, The Richmond Lnguirer insists upon it that the New York Heraxp is laboring assiduously to break up the democratic pariy. We hold that it is already broken up, and can- not survive another battle without large reinforcements; we hold, too, that these reinforcements can only be secured by deserting ibe whole policy of poor Pieree, measures and spoilsmen, Kansas roftianism and ruffians, and Southern disunioniets—Davis, Wise, Rhett, Brooks, Slidell, Soulé, Robert J. Walker, and all con- eerned. Should Mr. Buchanan do this, and give usa dignified, honest and conservative admiais- tration, at home and abroad, he and his party may count upon our cordial support. We care nothing for parties, but everything for a good government. On this ground, we hope and pray that the administration of Mr. Buchanan will not be a second edition of that of poor Pierce. Russian Railroads and French Finance. Our Jatest accounts from Europe contain the news of the conclusion of the treaty between the government of Russia and the Credit Mobi- her of Paris, for the construction of four great lines of railroad in Russia. These lines are to reach an aggregate of about 2,500 miles, and are to cost not more than $210,000,000, a pretty libe- ral allowance, considering the natare of the ground through which most of the lines will pass. The contract stipulates for the conclusion of the work within a period of ten years. One- third of the stock is reserved for Russia, and the government of the Emperor guarantees a divi- dend of at least five per cent per annum on the stock. This is the latest trick of the financiers on the Paris Bourse. To say that the 2,500 miles of road will not be built by the Credit Mobilier within ten years, and that the Russian govern- ment will not export its surplus funds in paying five per cent to the stockholders, is merely to aa- ticipate the utterance of every sensible examiner of the contract. In this country, where business capacity is certainly not deficient, and men of able minds and active habits are constantly en- gaged in railroad enterprises, no one concern would undertake such a scheme as these Russian railways. In the economy of the world there is a law immutable and clear, that man shall live by the sweat of his brow ; and it is a corollary from this law that when individuals under- take that which they cannot manage, they never succeed. They cannot live save by the sweat of their brow. Hence, enterprises like these Russian railways, of a magnitude far ex- ceeding the capacity of any individual or harrao- nious set of individuals, are perfectly certain to result in loss to those engaged, and in probable ruin to the enterprises themselves. Nor is it less certain that the Russian government can- not afford to guarantee five per cent on the capital disbursed. The Province of Canada has, indeed, lately guaranteed a still larger dividend to the railway companies lately im- ported into that Province from England; but this was not done without grave suspicions of fraud (the transaction was in the time of Mr. Hincks’ premiership); and now the best minds in the Province are satisfied that the operation was a swindle, and that the government will ultimate- ly be glad to take the roads off the bands of the company, and work them for the public profit. In Russia, judging from analogy, railroads will not pay three per cent per annum on an average for the first fifteen years, and after that, proba- bly nothing, in consequence of competing lines and cost of repairs, There is reason to suppose that this bergain has resulted from two canses—first, a desire of the entourage of the Emperor of the French to con- ciliate Russia; and secondly, the necessity on the part of the Credit Mobilier to do something to save iteclf from imminent ruin. It is to be noted, in connection with this latter point, that the bargain stipulates that the shares are not to be speculated in upon the Bourse. This tells the story. Of course it is not in the power either of the Em- peror of Russia or of the Credit Mobilier to pre- vent the owners of Ruslan railway scrip from selling it where they please. As the Bourse is the beet place to find a customer, a seller would go there noecesearily to sell, and all the stipula- tions in the world could not hinder him from doing so. This provision is inserted into the contract merely in order to blind the unwary, and to make them believe that the Credit Mobilier has suddenly amended its way and intends to spceulate no more—while, in fact, it is to the monry to be obtained from this Russian serip that it looks for extrication from its present difficulties. ‘The part played by the French officers of State in the transaction is less satisfactory. It is in- deed an ominous circumstance, that every revo- jution in France has been preceded by a war or a coolness with England, and a sort of friendly ayprockement With Russia, Tt was so in 1788 ; it was so previous to 1850; the world all noticed the fact before the days of February, 1848, Friends of France may hope that the axiom is not going to hold good again. But the concession of ibe Russian railways to theee French speculators ought to suggest grave misgivings Mr. Fiace tun Comprrotcr.—We hear from Mr. Flagg that the city taxes this year are to amount to seven millions of dollars, We think it quite likely that before the year is out they may reach nine or ten: for no one can tell to what cxtent the present cormorants who are feed- ing on the city treasury will continue their de- | predations.

The recent developements published in the Dersia, in reference to the general policy and plans of Walker in Nicaragua, have necessarily attracted and will continue to attract a great amount of public attention in all parte of the country. Our Weshington correspondent informs us in-adespatch published this morning, that the administration have had their eyes opened to ihe true state of affairs there, and are digesting a plan of action based upon the information we have thus spread before the public. Whatever secret or passive support has been hitherto given to that distinguished filibuster, is now to be dis- continued, and henceforth, or at least during the brief remaining existence of the present adminis- watien, we may expect to see its whole power brougbt to bear against Walker and his grand echenie of an independent Central American and Mexican federal republic. Among the measures to be resorted to are the dismissal of Mr. Wheeler, the United States Minister to Nicaragua —who sympathized withthe movement—and the commissioning of a minister to the republic of Guatemala, to encourage that and the other Cen- tral American States to renewed exertions for the annihilation of Walker and his army. This foray upon Nicaragna, originally made by Walker and a force of fifty-six men, by the in- vitation of the democratic party there, which war then in revolution against the Chamorrista government, attracted to his standard many of the discontented and disappointed spirits who bad participated in‘the several futile attempts to liberate the island of Cuba from Spanish domi- nion. These brought to his cause a large acees- sion of strength. Among the most conspicuous of the Cuban patriots who supported the cause of Walker in Nicaragua was General Domingo de Goicouria, who was raised to the rank of Briga- dier General, and subsequently received a com- mission as Minister to France and England. His recent destitution of both thoee commissions, without the assignment of anything like sufficient cause, has led to the disclosure of important facts in connexion with Walker's policy, which cannot fail to prove of very serious injary to the movement. This Mr. Goicouria was—as master spirit of the Cuban Junta in this city—associated in 1853 with General Quitman, of Mississippi, in the or- ganization of a new expedition against the Ever- faithful Island. Buta difference of views be- tween them as tothe proper mode of conducting the enterprise broke it up. The same thing has ocevrred between Goicouria and Walker. We see by the disclosures that have been made by Goicouria, that Walker agreed and stipulated that so oon as he had firmly secured pos- session of Nicaragua he would employ all his disposable means in a descent on and an attempt to liberate the island of Cuba. But in the meantime Mr. Pierre Soulé goes to Nicaragua and identifies himself with the move- ment. He, too, had his peculiar plans and no- tiens as to what should be Walker's line of policy. We have no doubt that Soul was at the bottom of all the changes that have recently taken place in Walker's programme; and we think it is quite safe to say that he was at the foundation of the quarrel between Walker and Goicouria, whieh is now being exposed in this city. That whole dispute, and the develope- ments that have arisen out of it, may justly be attributed to Soulé’s modifying Walker's pro- gramme in such a way as to embrace the idea of a Southern confederacy, with the restoration of the system of peonage—a species of slave ator—in those States, and the foundation of a ‘ort of military despotism covering all Central America, Mexico, and perhaps some of the dis- contented Southern States of this republic. Soulé is magnificent in all his political views; and undoubtedly the changes that have taken place in Walker’s policy-have been Lrought about by his influence. While Goicouria remains here, isolated from the Nicaraguan movment, Soulé becomes its master spirit, and is now engaged in the South in the work of collecting men, money and muni- tions of war for the purpose of enabling Walker to sustain his position, and to carry out the grand plan of filibusterism which has superseded that agreed upon between Walker and Goicouria. ‘The new programme does not embrace Cuba. It leaves the liberation of that island to time—to the administration of Mr. Buchanan and the working out of the Ostend manifesto, or to the disintegration and falling to pieces of the Spanish goverament—which must, in the natural course of events, soon take place. Strangely enough, Soulé again finds himself face to face with Marcy, bis inveterate enemy. The astute Secre- tary of State is preparing a plan of proceeding which be expects will blow sky-high Walker, Soul¢, and the whole army of Nicaraguan adven- turers. He bas his heart set upon witnessing this spectacle; and if his wish can be realized before the 4th of March next, then will he be pre- pared, like old Simeon, to “ depart in peace,” aud surrender the seals of his department. All these views, resulting from the disclosure of the programme and plans of the filibusters oust strike with astonishment not only the go- vernment at Washington, but also the British and French governments. The singular fact ofan en- terprise of this hind being supported by an army of four or five thousand men, under such a leader as Walker, and with such objects in view, might well astonish those engaged in diplomatic busi- ness on both sides of the Atlantic. But still they ought to be aware that there are in this enter- prising, energetic, go-ahead population, from fifty toa hundred thousand discontented spirits on the Atlantic and Pacific shores, ready to en- gage in any undertaking which promises fighting, plunder, empire, glory, the erection of new con- federacies, or any other euch inducement. The enterprise started in M853, by Gen. Quitman and Gen. Goicouria—and on which they quarelled, broke up and separated—had collected together from five to ten thousand men toinvade the Irland of Cuba. They had at the same time offers of fifty thousand volunteers, and they could have got them if they had only had the fuads and materials to fit out that large force. It was, therefore, not the want of men that prevented Quitman and Goicouria from successfully invading Cuba in 1853—34 | They were offered men from every State in the | Union.

If he could by the aid of Soulé and other Southern filibusters raise two, or three millions of dollars, he could iment, Guxious to part one eqnio and wall 100n Moxieo but have the fands at jis dieposal te and they are ready to maintain the Central America, and then deed wort commend the services of spy number of men from thie country-—Nortb and South—no matter whether he established slavery or not. That + nesiion would not operate upon them. Let him | and enable him to form that great Southern Con- federacy of which be speaks in some of his com- munications to Geicouria, . What course eur administration will pursue under these circumstances, wesha)! know definite- ly in a very short time. We have already given intimations of it. They will discountenance the movements of Soulé in the South. We think it not improbsble, however, that under the incom- ing adwinistration the filibusters will be al- lowed a little more latitude; and 60 they may wait and rest upon their oars till the poor Pierce administration is no more. This opening for filibusters is an excellent thing. Like the Mexican war, it is a perfect godsend for getting rid of all the unruly enterprising vaga- bonds from every part of this country, who now overwhelm and scourge our large cities, and who give such a bad cheracter to our elections and the tone of our society. We wish to heaven that General Walker would rid us of from fifty to a hundred thousand of these enterprising chaps, They can be supplied in any numbers—and war- ranted to be just the thing for him—from New York, New Orleans, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Louisville, San Francisco and Mobile. The only danger is that old Marey will smash up the movement before we can have realized this most desirable advantage from Walker aud his filidus- terism. Grorce Law’s Lasr Move. in Pourrtes. —From a recent extract taken from a Batavia paper, it appears that George Law is winding up his political affairs with a vengeance. He shows no mercy to his late supporters or dupes connected with the press, and is toreclosing mortgager, selling off old presses and old types, apd making the most of the old furniture of his political household. One of the principal mas- ter-spirits of his late political movements was Scoville, the proprietor and editor of the Evening State Kegister, published in this city. We under- stand that Law is preparing to bring him under his clutches in various ways, which are not ex- actly justifiable in a man so much indebted io another as he has been to Scoville. ‘We know it to be the fact, as we have already stated, that Scoville was the master-spirit and chief manager of his political career, and that it was he who got up the famons political conven- tion at Cincinnati, which was the first incipient movement of the Northern Know Nothings in reference to the Presidency. He it was who wrote the letters which appeared in several journals of the Western States, but more especially in the Indiana Chronicle, giving accounts of the efforts made for Law in that convention. He it was, also, who procured the nomination of Law by twenty or thirty of the members of the Pennsylvania Legislature, headed by the Speaker—and it was he who drew out the letter in reply to which Law had only to affix his signature, and which was the foundation of the popularity of the latter for several months. Sco- ville was the autbor of the several speeches mate by Law during his brief campaign, and he wrote the famous biography of him which was published under the signature of Plutarch. If his advice had been taken, Law would have been elected by the Philadelphia Convention in place of Fillmore; but Law, blockhead and fool that he is, listened to Stilwell, Barker, and other similar blockheads, who, because they had more money, he supposed possessed more brains than poor Joe Scoville. For all these exertions Law loaned Scoville about @ thousand or fifteen hundred dollars on the se- curity of a house and small farm in New Jersey. This mortgage he is now abovt to foreclose, out of revenge for his not being elected President of the United States, We understand that Scoville is still busy pub- lishing his Register in this city, which he is con- ducting with great spirit and success If he would only give us a full, minute and graphical sketch of all the secret conclaves, movements and incidents connected with this famous cam- paign of Live Oak George, it would be one of the most amusing episodes of political history which bas transpired for some time, and would increase his circulation to an extent which would soon enable him to pay off this paltry obligation. We would recommend him, by way of enhancing its interest, to introduce into it sketches of Va- lentine, Law's medical adviser, aad of ex-Senator Westcott, his present cabinet minister and coun- rellor and the getter up of the silly and ridicu- lous speeches which he has lately been making, but more especially of the famous one at the Academy, in which he so lamentably broke down. The truth is, that Law, who is so profuse of his funds to Congressmen, members of cabinets and lobbycrs--including President Pierce, Corwine, Forney and Thurlow Weed—did not spend on bis Presidential aspirations more than about ten thousand dollars. He behaved in the most shameful manner to all his political agents, but more particularly to Scoville; for he did not even pay the boarding expenses of the latter during the time that he was engaged in his cmployment. According to all the accounts that we have heard—for we have never inter- changed a word with him—Law seems to be a very mean maa. Wuistraxe Dows tn Wisp.—Tharlow Weed, W. IL. Seward, and the nigger worshippers of the North, having extracted out of the popularity of Colonel Fremont all the political strength that could be squeezed from it, are now whistling the Colonel himself down the wind, out of sight and mind. Ata public meeting held the other day at Flashing, the republicavs and nigger worshippers proposed several resolutions very encouraging to Jobn A. King and the republican party, as it is called, of this State, with a singular allusion to Col. Fremoat in 1860. They acknowledged the indebtedness which the republicans felt towards Fremont, but concluded that mony contingencies might take place between this and 1860, and that it would be better that the candidate of that period should be proposed by @ national conven- tion, or some other similar mode of nomination. This is only the old mode of killing off a political candidate, and shows distisely that W. HL Se- ward and bis followers are de‘ermined to make use of the republican party for 1860, and to lay Colonel Fremont on the shelf for ever. Superior CourtSpeetal Term. Betore Hon Jad; aer.

Wasnrnetos, Nov. 24, 1866. * The couree of Walker in Nicaragua, and the whole Cen- tral American question, bave assumed a new ‘mportance: injthe eyes of the administration, especially since the ap- pearance inthe Gmxaip, a few days ago, of an editorial’ article showing the irue drift of Walker's policy, andi Since General Goloouria bas made his startling develope~ ments. Ican assure you that that business is now re- garded by the Cabivet as one of the greatest magnitude, and that a new course of policy will be adopted to check ~ mate Walker tn bis game of erecting a new Socthern rev public, indepe: it of the United States, aud, to somo: extent, antagonistic to it, I can, perhaps, able to give you an inbling of what that policy will be. It fg not general'y kuown—thongh it is a fect—thas from the commencement of this Nicaraguan 1\!!bzeterism Walker's course bas been uniformly denounced in the Cabinet by Secretary Marcy aud Attorney General Cush- ing. They bave been a'l along bitterly opposed to the movement. It was through them that the President refased to recognize Mr Parker Hi. French as Minister irom Nica- ragua to the United Stetes. They also opposed the recog- nition of bis successor. the Padre Vijll; but in this matter they were defeated. Jefferson Davis and @ certain other distinguished individual, at present in New York, and who figures conspicuo: a the imbrogtio that pas taken place, overpowered Marcy and Cushing. he conse- quence was that Mr. Viji! was permitted to present his cree eptials, and thus a virtual recognition was givem to the new revolutionary government. Mr, Oakemith, the successor of Mr, Vijil, has been Tetused recognition vy the President, It was a tri- umph of Cushing and Marcy. There was a reason for Tefurlng to recognize Vaksmith which did not exist im the care of Vijil, and that was, that whereas Vj)! was the repregentative of the regular government presided over by Senor Riva, Oaksmith came as the representative of Walker’s government That may have boen made tho» Pretext, but the real motive of the refasal must be looked for ‘n tho unwavering bostility of Marcy and Cushing to - Walker and bis movement, Jelf, Davis carricd his point once only ip regard to tue matter. His colleagues have Dow got the upper band ‘The curious snd startling developements mede by the Breatn as to Walker’s uiterior views, have materially in. jared his cause bere as well in diplomatic ss in other circles, A closer waich than ever will be bonceforth « ept upon bis movements, and no opportunity of crush- ing bim will be let rlip. Until the appearance of your * editorial exposing Walker's position and policy, the Cabi- Bet had never entertained an idea as to the real state of the case. Anew course bas now been resolved on,- modelled on the hints given in that article. Mr. Wheeler, our Minister to Nicaragua, who has just returned to thie country on sick leave of absence, will be apt to meet’ from Marcy @ reception like that given to General Gads- den, He will be excused from returning in en official ca- pacity, He bas alreacy bad several interviews with the - Secretary of State in relation to bis oilicial conduct in Nica- ragua. The Secretary of Levation at Bogota wi!l be sent » to Nicaragua to watch affairs there, and to keep this go- Yernment fully posted upon them. In the meautime the ~ appointment of Mr. Wi eeler’s successor will be deferred.’ It is Bot probable, however, that the post will remain va- cant during the whole of the next \hree months, Ar . original Merce man may be appointed to the post a: euch - time es will save the present administration from re- sponsibility for his acts. Marcy bas, however, devised a scheme by which be hopes to give Genera Walker a flowning biow. it is this:— 4A full minister is to be sent to the repoblic of Caa- temals jor the parpore oi opening negotiations with Car- Tera, the permanent cictator, whereby s check may be given to Walker’s grand carcer of conquest and govial re- organization in Ceotrsl America, Carrera aud toe other Centra! American republics will be encocrage { to persist — in their hitherto futile eiforts to exterminate Welker and * bis fillbusters. Of course the astute Secretary of State ‘Will not neglect any coliateral means to bring about the - tke reguit; but this arrangement with Carrera wi!! be the Pripcipal spring Dut into actin, Marcy prides biwmsoif on having cloned al! the questions whh European Powers that were opened before or during bis tenure of office @ith the exception of tha: reiating to the Sound dues, which he alr expects to fais before he surrenders the seals. He bas now his mind wet upon @isposing of the Central American questions, and if be can achieve that object be will If he cannot, bowevor, have Walser and otber kiodred matters finally disposed of in the three monthe remaixing for action, he bopet at least 80 to shape the policy uf the United States in regard to Central America that it will be difficult for the incon:- img administration to cflect a change in it. He knows that the efforts which #:e being made to keep bim in the State department under Buct aoan, are falile and must be un- successful. He therefore will strain every nerve to eitoct the defeat of Walker between this and the 41m of March . next. Ja reference to the Panama marsacre and ovr diflicn!- ues with Now Grenada, the Hexacp has correctty apnoun- ced the views of the Cavinet Mr. Marcy and Gen. Her- ren, the New Granadian Minister here had a long coafe- renee, a day or two since The result of is is that the « ipatrvetions whic! ‘© being prepared for delivery te Me. Morse, the commissioner, who is to be sent w Bogota, Will Bavo to be consiierably modified, Marcy bas dis- covered & way of settliog the mort important part of the difficulties pending without the neceasity of having re course to the New Granadian government. He and Gea. Berran cap arravce the matter here upon the spot; anc + whatever Marcy can do himself he never likes to iatrost to an agent. Mr. Secretary Guthrie bas, I learn to-day, completes bis report, and my informant rays it is one 01 the ablest and most elaborate dooumsats that ever emanate! from that department. It is full in every point connected with the revenue service. 1h contains maay of his ok! recom- mendations, especially the one in reference to the tariil. No now ideas are advenced on that question. Toe Beard . of Appraisers, Stephen Dillaze, cbairman, who have been here upwards of a werk assisting the Secretary, have compicted their jabors aud adjourned. The other secre- taries have aleo, | understand, completed their reports, and they are to be submitied to the President for his in- spection on Thursday.

About 1,200 persone, including many ladies, sat down to the bountifully spread table, and manifested tne: appre ciation of the proceedings by every demonstration of enthnsiaem. The ball was handsomely decorated. Tho names of the Massachusetts delegation to Congres were displayed om the galleries, and opposite the rostrum the names of ‘Fremont aud Burlingame for 1860." Among otber prominent mottoes were the fo!/u "ing — Maseachasetts honors thore who honor her. ‘The Fitth Congreemonal district wi'l bo represented in the pext Congrers by & ran who will give erp-ernion to the sentiments of Massachusetts without fear ur favor.
