The Departure of the Tennessee Post- poned for One Day. SCENES ON BOARD. APPEARANCE OF THE EMIGRANTS FOR NICARAGUA, Arrest of Captain Farnum, Colone Fabens, Mr. Lawrence and Others b the U.S. Depusy Mar :1 ; Interesting Dialogue Between Mr. Thompson, U.8. Deputy Marshal, and Capt. Farnum. ah-ge-ga-gah-bowh Among the Bmi- grants. Mrs. Henningsen, the Lady of General Henningsen, k&e., &e., &eo. The departure of the Tennessee, which was to have taken piace at ten o’clock yesterday forenoon, was post- poned, in consequence of some damage to her slarboard ‘wheoi, which it will be necessary to repair before she fan gojosea. She is to leave ber dock this morning at eleven o'clock, however, should nothing farther oocur ‘to prevent her from doing so. As it was announced that boat two hundred and {lity emigrants, for Nicaragua, ‘would go out in her, quite a large "number of spectators ‘assembled upon the dock to witness their departureg and to give them a parting cheer, The scene, though of a Hees exciting character than those which formerly fended the departure of steamers having Nicaraguan emigrants on board, was as full of interest. Among the motabilities present, were General Cazucau, Colonel George B Hall, Commissiary General of Walker’s army; General Ward B. Burnett, Captain Farnum of the Nicaraguan army, Don Pedro Selva, Secre- @ary to the Nicaraguan Minister; Captain Francis B. O’Keefe, Mr. Lawrence, aud viber gentlemen actively ‘engaged in promoting the interests of Nicarsgua in this oity. General Barnet, we should state, has no connec- fion with Walker in a business way, although sympa- thizing fully with him and the cause in which he is on- Hated. The emigrants, as we stated in yesterday’s Hznatp, ‘were of the better class, and had, the; appearance of{men ‘who intended going to Nicaragua for the purpose of colo- mization, Yome few, we beiteve, had their wives with them, aud others expressed their intention of sending for their families when the coautry becomes more settled then ft ts at present, There were a fow from the far ‘west, who, desirous of seeking a nw field for their enter- Prise, baa accepted,the,otfers from the Nicaragaan govern- ‘mout of a free passage and a gract of laud in the most fertile part of that State. They said that they were fully Bpprised o( the condition of things there, and were prepared @ben required to take am active part im defending the government, and in protecting their adopted home irom invesion by Guatemala or the otber hostile States of Cen- frail America. “I bave been.sccustomed,” said one of ‘bhem, tp the course of a convertation, we bad with him, “] have been accustomed to wield only the axe or the Bammer, but if necessary | think | can use the sword or Mmuskei to some effect, and it is my opinion that they ‘will be more tn demand for some time than anything else down there.’ This was delivered with s tone of ‘voice and in a manner which conveyed more than the mere expression, Then he told us that he hada high opinion of General Walker, believed that he must evon- tually succeed, and that the destiny of Nicaragua, and in fact of ali Central Amorica, could never be worked out till ney baa become thorougoly Americanized, This wan might to a certain exteat, be con- a empleo the omi- all of whom are so favorable to Walker Ears have no doupt they will, on arriving in Nicara- ‘sor { them condition, than inthe United sree.

TnoMPson—Yes, sir; I understood you perfectly, and did not regard it as at all porsonal, or as meant in an offensive sense. Captain Famyum—Ii is certainly very annoying to be stopped on my return to my own country. it is lit! less than tyrannic on the part of the United Eo ee ‘pment. Here am I, an officer in the service of Nica- ragua, on leave of absence, and when that leave of ab- sence bas expired, I am prevented from returning by an oflicial order from another government. Mr. Tuompson—Sorry, 1} weare,as I said, sim: py acting under orders. but the officers of the jaw, and have no dircretion of our own Farsom—What w the difference between my case and that of an English or French officer under the rame circumstances? Would your government interfere With their returm at the expiration of their | of ab- sence? I sheuld think not; and mine is certainly a lel case. ‘The Deputy Marshal shrugged his shoulders, looked 98 affable as ever, and said that until he received further orders he should have to retain bimin custody, The bystanders, it is almost necdless to say, coincided in the correctness of the position taken by Captain Farpum, and expressed themselves to the effect tnat Mr. Marcy would bave quite enough to doi he attended to his le- gitimate business. “What right,” sald an excitable individual, “have they to interiere with the poopie of other countries from golpg where they piease. I'd like to see thom stopping me {rom going to Europe, Asia, Africa, or apy part of Central Am¢ if baa @ mind togotaere.” The words Of assent with which this expression of opinion was ro- ceived showed that it met with the approval of al! 10 beard it. Capt. Farnum, contrary to general expectation, Was afterwards discharged, the United states District Attorney probably thinking better of it, Not so, however, with Mr. Lawrence, who is to be held accountable for ibe part he bas taken in sending emigrants to Nicaragua, furnishing them with free tickets, and giving them a promise of grants of lands—sli of which, according to a wew reading of the neutrality laws, is interpreted into ® violation of our treaties with other nations. all the arrested parties are to be brought up to answer this morning before the United States authorities for their terrib.y “agitious conduct, snd some of them have been condemned to pass tue taterim in Eldridge street jail. It will be seen from another part of this report that among the parties arrested are the names of Brignoli, amodio and several other celebrities of the operatic world. Now, as according to the latest accounts from Havana, these musical worth:es were Lo end the bon ton of the “ever faithful island,’’ it 1s bardly probable that it was the same Amodio and the same a were “yo e perzons of the same pame, or that the individuals now ‘n Custody are sailing under false coiors; in fast, pro- ferning for the time being the names of ers to their own, they have bestowed them for the occasion. From ‘ll this another conclusion may be formed, and that ‘s that Signors Amodio and Brignoli are not among the emigrants to Nicaregua, and it will moss likely be before they,visit that State. The soldiers of some time General Walker will not, therefore, hear the soul stirring **Suora la tromba’? on the battle field, nor the joyous brwndisi ip the — or at the bivouac. The friends of ra!

A number of boxes somewhat longer than as rifle were transierred from the dock to the steamer, and there were certain words upon them qbich sig: nified that there were muskets inside. These, we suppose, are to be given to the emigrants to enable them better to protect the land they are to receive from vernment of their adopted country.

Thoy seemed quite exolted and surpatsed at the action of the authorities, and declared that whatever course the passengers of the Ten- neseco to Nicaragua might purse, or whatever profes. sion they might adopt after arriving in that country, they left here simply as emigrants, and of course as such could not be stopped by the government; that there was no agreement made with them ae to their joining Walker's army; that the neutrality laws were not vio'ated, and that the course pursued by the lower government officiais ‘was instigated and brought abont by Vanderbilt and other parties opposed to the present transi: ime across the Isthmus.

If he ts prevented from sailing on board of this steamer, it will be of considerable disadvantage and disappointment to bim. As an officer of the Nicaraguan government, he did not consider himselt subject to being arrested for attempting to return to his government, avy more than an officer of she French or English government would on returning to bis country. For this reason he would not accept of any bail, but was determined to let the law take ste course. Horatio N. Wild and several other parties offered to go bis bail, but he positively re- fused to accept any. A grest.exotternent prevailed at tho United States Mar- sbal’s office to regard to his and other arresis. Judge Morton was retained for the prisoners.

The intelligence from Guatersaia and Sar Salvador states that no more troops wero being raised in those States, and the war was becoming very unpopular. General Paradez and Gen. Solar’, prominent cdlicers in the Guatemalan army, died of ollora during the siege of Granada; and it is roported that the allied troops at the close of that siege numbered about 400 Guatomalans, 200 Salvadorans, 600 Nicaraguans, co1 200 Honturesas. It ts also stated that the allies lost, by disoaso and killed during the siege, trom 1,600 to 1,800.
