The letters and despatches of our correspondents im Washington, publisted to-day, contain important news relative to Central American affairs, Jt is as- werted that the league against Gen. Walker is to re- eeive considerable accessions of men and money from Chile and Peru. Ecuador, also, is to take a hand inthe game of exterminating the fearful fili- Dbusteros. New Granada has declined joining the alliance, {se English Mackiatesh claim and th> Panama trouble with the United States probably weing as much as she can attend to at present. Ia view of this imposing warlike demonstration, the design of Secretary Marcy to settle the affairs of Central America, through a treaty with Great Bri- tain, becomes exceedingly important, as affecting the administration of Mr. Buch:man and the sebemes of tac Southern annexatianists. These iri teresting matters are clearly revealed by onr cor- veepondents, te whose communications our readers ave referred. Bikewhere we give the material portions of the ezmua) meseage.of Gov. Adams to tke Legislature «f South Carolige, to which we allude? briefly in yeoterdsy’s paper. The finances of the State are, we age glad to saBin ound condition; and in this con. nes'ion the Ge on's suggestion of an jncrease of salary is quite al and appropriate.

His _F scel- lev: y’s official recommendation of the re-qpening ef Wo save trade, grd his suggestions ae to the cggription of negracs from attachment fur debt, are, horever, the luminous points of the poz- mage. The question of to siave traffic is one that will reegice no trifling deliera'ion before entering upon iteggrious discussion. With regard to the ex- ewption ves from lege! process, the Governor’ base proba 7 taken his cue from that devoted organ of the seceesivnis +, the New O:leans Delta, That journal receztly published & Yrilliaut exposition of ine immense pecuniary adventage—some fifteen fsundred million dollars, we paileve—that would earely we to the South thyangh the simple tantrementelitg of the conversion niggers into a get of human homestead possession, to say nothing of che importaut advantage to be derived in a phi lantiropical poincor view.

Without expressing apy opinion as tothe fitness of the dzes allud»d to to exercise the power which it is proposed to place in their bands, we hare no hesitation Io sy ing that any change would be preferable to the pre- eenteys'em. Itis an undeniable t that in our large vities these important offices are filled with about equal proportions of rogues and ignoramases.

The Southern Disunionists Firing Up Again _=Mr. Buchanan on the Right Track. The Southern disunionists are firing up again. It is. evident they are anticipating the cold shoulder from the incoming administration, and so they are already-beginning to stir up the smouldering embers of a factious rebellion. First, upon the heela of Mr. Buchanan's elec- tion, came that terrible manifesto from R. Barn- well Rhett, urging a Southern movement for a new proslavery constitution for the United States, and then followed. a series of editorial leaders from the New Orleans Delta, tke special organ of. Jefferson Davis, urging the enforcement by the South upon Mr. Bachanan of a general filibustering foreign poliey for the extensioa of the area of Southern slavery over Cuba, Central America, Mexico and all the islands of the Gulf. But, with the late visit ef Governor \ Vise to Wheatland and the remarkable letting den ia the lordly fire-eating music ef the Richmaad Zn- quirer, We had supposed that es far at least 2° the Virginia wingof this Southere disunion faction was concesned, there had been.cn uncondijicnal surrender <o the new administration, for the equivalent ¢f a chauce among the spoilsmen Cor the net profits of the election. An intelligent Washiagton cerse;poudent, hex- ever. informexs that we have “‘miscoacieved the idea of the Richmond Enquirer” jx this appa- rent capitulation for the epoils—that “it is in- tended for higher game than ever a cabinet appointment”—4}at it looks to the organization of 2 new and purely Southera party, which “In less.ban a year will hold sway from .Beltimore to Sen Antonio” on the southern froatier of ‘Texas -that “it wi be utterly impossible for Mr., Bechavan to cvoid the influence of this party"--that it will cleo “be utterly impossible for the democratic party to prevent ite orgariza- tion” —teat “Cobb, Wise, Toombs, Slidell, ¢!/., will hare 4o go with it’—that the grand toach- stone of @ive will be .powerlese, for that the cfices are already fillad: and fioaily, that thie uw movement will be directed, not to patch- w expediexts and compromises on the slavery ou, hut 40 a decisive test; and that the | thing must be decisively cettled, be the couse- quenees what they may. It mast be adacitted that thicscheme, shadowy, misty.and.mystericus as it ie, appears at first giance.st ficiently plausible ang formidable to be somenkat clarming. But we have had some such experenents heretofore. Ducing Gen. Tay- iors administration mast of the leaders involved in tis new movement were concerned in a similor enterprise at Washiagton, headed by that giant of Southern ultras, Mr. Calhoun. They established a paper—the Sowhern Press; but strangely emough, with the election of Pierce, from whieh they expeeted a compensa- tion for all losaes, this exclusive organ of this exclusive Southern party died of iofastile marasmus. This movement rested its cause of disanion upon that “atrocious outrage” against the South, the admission of Californie as a free State; and we suspect that the basis of this new Southern organization isto be the Kan- cas question, and their ultimatum disunion, anda *parate Southern confederacy, in the event of tbe admission of Kansas asa free State, however teirly or justly the act may be consummated under the organic law of popular sovereignty. We presume that among the first develope- ments of this new Southern movement will be a new organ at Washington; but that its death wil! be as untimely as that of the Southern Press we have no doubt, provided always that Mr. Ba- chanan shall set out with, and adhere to, a policy at once conservative, national, conciliatory, honest and economical, yet liberal and progressive, That he will set ont with such a policy we feel entirely satisfied; that he will persevere in it we have the strongest hopes; and that euch ie his only way of safety and success, and the only policy for reconstructing the democratic party upen a volid foundation, no man but a fire-eater, a fana- tic or a fool can deny. Among the latest incidental developements of this new n!tra-Southern movement is the proposi- tion submit the ether day by the fire-cating Governor of Bouth Carolina to the Legislatare of the State, in his annual message, for the re-establishment of the African slave trade. For some months part this subject has been discussed, from time to time, hy the Richmond Enquiver and the Charleston Stand- ard with a show of gravity and carnest- ness that has somewhat puzzled us. At length, however. as far as the Hngwirer has been con- cerned, we have been relieved by the aseurance was all a joke; and we had come to the m that the learned essays of the Charleston organ on the advantages of « plenti- upply of niggers fresh from Africa, were he desperate tricks of an obscure paper iggiing for a little public notoriety. The rm sage of the South Carolina Governor on the t displaced this idea, and satisiice us that ¢ Charleston Stondard, in a friendly way, ha the time been preparing as for the official manifesto which bas eo boldly commended the revive) of the African slave trade to the favor- able consideration of the lawmakers of South Corolina. There would be something of infamy in thie proposition were it not #0 utterly absurd and contemptible. Tow is South Carolina to do it? gress to do it? And how ie the project to be commenced? Let us suppose that in all the \ cotton States the Southern Confederacy party «mbine to push this measure, what will Gov. W), @ and hie Virginia fire eating brethren have toea,%? They will eay, No! We are opposed to the in duction pf riggers from Afica, We Revive the African slave trade! | How is Con- | bave niggers to sell; the cottom States-are our markets; yougive us fair prices mow, “bat still the best-of niggers yields but a emall-profit upon the primne cost of the article. Re-oper the \Afri- can sleve-trade and the slaveRolders-cf Virginia who ratee niggers te sell, will “be ruined, fromthe ruinously low prices at-which the real African article will be sold. The African im- porter can make money upon his niggers deltver- ed in Charleston at one hundred delars a head, the came article which the Virgigian cannot af- ford to raise and sell at lees than a thousand. in a word, it is preposterous to talk of dringing the King of Dahomey into competition with Gover- nor Wise in tée nigger markets -of Baltimore, Nerfolk, Charkeston, Savannah, Mobile and New Orleans. The truth is, that if this African clave trade is to be one of the distinguishing features of the’ - Southern Confederacy projected by the disunion- ists of South Carolina, they have broached it too! soon, It.may defeat their primary objectof the’ |’ formation of a great Southern disunion party. It may cut off in tke outset Virginia and all the Northern berger slave States. But should the project: be dropped by common consent, and should the experiment of a Southern disunion party be pushed upon the Kansas issue, and upon the ultimatum of disunion with the advaission of Kansas as a free State, right or wrong the move- ment will end with the same ridiculous explosion. as the South Carolina nullification farce of 1832-"3, or +the..secession fizzle of 1651—with anyébing of the firmness of Jackson or the courage of Clay in the. administration.

Mr. Thayer, in a speech which we publish smoothed over, the Star, and the other orgons of | elsewhere, recommended that the society should the British democracy take quite a different view of the case. They say that the alliance js.virtu- ally at atend ; that the two governments are a unit apon 20,single European queetion of impor- tence; that the differences of opinien between them are so wide as not to admit of coupromise ; and that the potehed-up reconciliation effected hy Pervigny is merely a temporary make sbiit, which the come of .avents must necessarily thrast aside. Between the two opinions experience would lead us to select the latter as nearer the truth. Government ongans can so rarely afford to tell the truth that falsehood or at least equivo- cation is almost their usual rule. We know that from our own experiences of organs in this country ; and, if history teach truly, dissmula- tion is quite as marked a cheracteristic of go verpment prints in Earope. It ssems certain that the stand taken by the Zimer, and Lord Palmer- ston, created sufficient alarm in the mind of M. de Persigny as to indace him to have a semj- apology inserted in the Moniteur, and to renew to the British government his aeeurances of the Emperor's desire to carry out in good faith the purposes of the alliance. Bat whether, under cover of these assurances, any practical change bas taken place inthe Emperor's mind with regard to the Neapolitan question, or the monner in whieh Russia should be com- pelled to fulfil the weaty, we have no means of hnowing. There may be good foundation for the story— #0 often repeated in the Britich papors—that the Emperor of the French, having used the Paglish to humiliate Russia, now desires to conciliate the Russian Court, in order to secure a preponde- rance on the Continent, Sach a scheme would present temptations to the mind of en unscrupa- lous intriguer. Were France allied with Rassia to-day, and Austria kept by significant threats in the neutral position to which her national poverty invitee her, the coalition might no doabt exercise paramount control orer contineatal affairs, inspite of Eogland. Powibly, this is the aim which Napoleon has in view. He knews that In all the unsettled European questions —that of Naples, of Spain, of Rome, of Grevee, of the Principelities and of Sweden—points wiil arise that will closely touch this principle, on whieh his own throne rests. If he grapple with these questions in concert with Eagland, he will be placed in a dilemma; he will be compelled cithor issue with his colleague aud ally, or to re- more consietent to enter into the arena side by tide with the Emperor of Russia, whose principles are the same as bis own, and whose throne reste | to Napoleon's. may inspire in the palace, the people of France are very fot from sharing the philo-Russtan me | nia, It is @ most remarkable fact that every | French revolution has been preceded by a cool- | ness with England and an advance toward Rue sia. Nor is this without ite reason. When the government of France becomes unfriendly to that | of England, the British prese begin to inquire to French affaires, This is the only time at which the French ever have a free press, Though | itie ina foreign tongue, and only enters the | kingdom by stealth and illegally, it answers | every purpose of a domestic revolutionary preae; for it reaches, in one shape or other, all the minds which are capable of exciting and leading revolutions, and sises them ne effectaally as any | voice Sivmp Lowe could do, When Charlee the pudiate the basie of his own empire, How mach | on a basis if not identical, at least very analagous | On the other band, whatever dynastic ambition | not go one step backward, but rather enlarge the sphere of ite operations. He congratu- lated his audience upon tbe fact that they had establiched four or five sickly sectional set- tlements in Kansas, and that their protegés had spilled the blood of their brethrea in deadly con- filet for a fantasy. Mr. Thayer further said--and | We recommend this remark to the careful cénsid- eration of Governor Wise--that a socicty could -ke formed in New York to send emigrants to Vir- Rizia, 20 as to make the Old Dominion a free Stave. Numerous other amusing ideas were pro- mulgated, and the whole affair was quite as wo- surd ae the glorification of Preston 8. Brooks hy the people of Ninety-six, South Carolina. Ia fact, Worcester is quite as bad on one side as Ninety-six on the other. In regard to the Kansas matter, we believe all the Emigrant Aid Societies, North and South, are shallow humbugs. The settlement of a new territory must be graduak and nataral—not forced and igvnediate, When jou throw a large body of eetthza into anew country, there are neceesarily a gumber of drones, who eat the bread of others, when there is a cry of distrees, and generous people put their bands in thelr pockets ostensibly to aid a starving community. Really, the money is more frequently used for elcctioneering purposes nearer home, The people in Kansas, meanwhile, Lave been shooting each other for lack of somo- thing better todo. The societies at the Soath aie equally to blame; bué the particular orgaai- zation under consideration is especially culpable, having commenced the movement. No possible benefit accrued to the Territory fiom its forced occupation. Kansas, if it is ever to be prosper- ous, must be gradully filled up in the same man- ner as other Territories. ‘Theee facts being acknowledged, we mat say that we have had quite enough of these aid so- cieties. We have had qaite enongh of Reeder, Atchieon, Stringfellow, Lane, Shannon, Buford, Pomeroy, Donaldson, Thayer, an] all the agita- tore on either side of the question. They are simply partieans, who care not how much bloody work they may cause, provided they can make a little political capital North and South. Mr. Buchanan will give usa fair conservative administration, as far as Kausas is concerned, and these men will find their stock im trade taken away from them. Mr. Buchanan will enforce the Jaws in relation to that Territory, and wili see that the act under which it was organized Is obeyed both in letter and ia spirit. Tue actual settlers will be left free to choose between frecdain and slavery, and the new State will come in as cording to the desires of its citizens, Probably it will be a free State. If it should be aslave State, | the circumstance will be owing almost entirely to the efforts of such noisy intermeddlers Thayer and bis Worcester Emigrant Aid Society. | They bave divided the ecttlers one against the | other—every man's hand has been against that of | his neighbor; and instead of working together fur the jaterest of all~whiech is the only basis | of the prosperity of a new country —the citiz | eculd have no effect upon the question at issue, and from the disastrous effvcis of which the young State will need years to recover. trust that, as the main motive which has impelled the Kansas insurrectionists, North and South, hae ceaced to exiet—that as the clection is over, the President made—they will all return to the ob- | scurity from which they emerged only to heap ' disgrace pup their gountry, Ordinances.

We feel the more confident that this is the history of the project, as it bears unequivocal marks of Weed’s well known hand, and as we remember that the editor of the 7'ri- tune bas already proved how superior he rises to personal considerations by surrendering his jour- bal to the service of Mr. Seward at the very time that politician was justifying Rust’s murderous attack upon him. We refer with more pleasure to the article in the Zimes, which in the main is sound and worthy of attention. The editor of the Times, we are happy to sce, has devoted some attention to the snbject, and in a right spirit. He comes, of course, to the conclusion which is familiar to the readers of the Hzratp—namely, that the care for our present evils is the centralization of power ard responsibility in the bands of the Mayor, who should have the appointment of all the heads of departments, and with whom should rest the sole control of the executive branch of the municipal government. It will be for the people to select such a man for the office of Mayor as may safely be entrusted with this large mea- sure of authority; and further, to keep him in check, in reepect of appointments, by constitating the Aldermen a sort of Senate. This is the plan, and the only one, to meet the present care. And we are the more pleased to sce the 7imes advo- cate it, as from its editor's connection with poli- ticlans, so much independence was perhaps hardly to be expected from him. The fact revives the inquiry whetber Le would not be a suitable suc- cessor to Senator Fish, He would certainly make a better Senator than that humble follower of Mr. Seward, or than Preston King. We shall bear it in mind. Tre News rrom Cvna.--The news from Havana published in yesterday's Hera, is of a most im- portant character. It wasrumored in that city that General Peznela is again to be appointed Captain General of Cuba, and this bare supposition had created great excitement there. It was the aboli- tion policy of General Pezuela, while filling the same station, in 1854, that gave life and vigor to the late revolutionary conspiracy in Cuba, and caused the people of the island to send large sums of money to ft out the contemplated expe- dition under command of General Quitman, His measures, at that time, alarmed all classes in Cuba, and brought the revolutionary movemout much nearer to a consummation than has been generally snpposed. Both Cubans and Spaniards entered freely into the conspiracy, and jointly contributed to the funds of the juntas that existed in every part of the island, and the revolution was stopped only by causes in which the Spanish goveroment had no band. The change of domestic policy that followed the return ot General Concha to Cuba has given peace to that island, and destroyed the hopes of the Cuban filibusters here. That feeling, now so rife among us, bas been diveried to another echeme, in which it is evident, from recent rera- lations, Cuba forms no part. Tne people of the island are quiet and the Cuban question sloeps But ehould Gencral Pezuela return aad endeavor to re-establish his former policy and measures, it will immediately create a new excitement and couse serious complications between our own government and that of Spain. We ave alo told that Geveral Concha is medi tating a re-opening of the slave trade with Africa, under the new form of importing apprentices. ‘This ie on a par with the schemes of the Charles- ton Meany and the Southern dicuntonists, We Went no more diggers on this continent. Those we have, aod their natural increase, are as much ae we can take care of. So let us have no Gen. Pezucla, no African apprentices, and no now Cuban excitement.

We suspect that here the selfish Captain is driving at the New Yorr Heratp. But it won't do, Captain; for we are right, and you are wrong. Do you understand? You are off the track. Mr. Buchanan fs no more the exclusive President of Tammany Hall than he is of the Richmond Junta. He is clected President of the United States; and is as much our President as the President of Gov. Wise, Col. Forney, or Capt. Ryndere, and he may be more 60 before the end of the chapter. Who knows? His party is not £0 strong as to need no reinforcements. He wants all the help he can get, and all the volunteers he can get; and in this view of the case, the HeraLp will be an acquisition. What say you, Cap- tain? We have nothing to ask—we want no spoils—no offices; and we may do 2 world @ service to a good administration, as we have dong considerable damage to a bad one. We can do more for the President than he can do for us. Is not that true, Captain? It is our opinion that the support of the Heratp among the indepen- dent, Union loving, American people, North and South, will be worth more to Mr. Buchanan than adozen Richmond juntas and Tammany Halls ; and it is our opinion, too, that should Nw nan deeerve it, he will get our sipport. t have you to say to that, Captain? @urious world, this ; ain't it, Captain? os THE LATEST NEWS.

Wasnincrow, Noy. 27, 1856. I learn that scmo daye since, advices were ro- erived at the State Department, to the effect that Chile and Peru bad agreed to contribute men and’ money to the aid of the Central American States for the extermination of Walker and bis Northern filibusters. Ecuador and New Granada have both been solicited to enter into the same arrangement; but I learn that New Granada hss declined having asything to do with the scheme. Ecuador, it is thought, will come im and furnish ite share, It is said that Chile is te con- tribute one thousand men, and Peru one million of dollars out of the guano deposit fund. It is understood that the. old Nicaragua Transit Company, headed by Commodore Vanderbilt and Joseph L. White, of your city, have bad something to do with this plan. It 18 a curious fact, at apy rate, that long before the batiles of Mastsya and Granada were known here, White stated the military combinations that had been formed, and in what way thoy would aflect Walker. He even knew the number of men each State had furnished, and tho points of attack, General Herran, the New Granada Mizister, is still here, and is in daily conference with Secretary Marcy. I can- ‘not learn that the pending New Granadian instructions to ‘Mr. Morse are arranged. David Hoagly, President of the Panama Railroad Compsay, and Edwin Bartlett, of the Pacific Mat!
