The dates | tobe made in coin, instead of produce, NEW YORK HERALD, THURSDAY, NOV had been inaugurated, and an amnesty to all offe ders engaged in the events of 1851 had been promulgated. A panic on # small scale prevailed among the mercantile community. From Peru we learn that the movements of the revolutionary party continued, with- out any notable advantage to either side. The agent of an extensive organization for the purposes, as is alleged, of wholesale robbery in South and Central America, had been arrested at Lima, The head of the concern is said to be a resident of New York. Dr. Linares had assumes the title of Provi- sional President of Bolivia, and taken the field against Gen. Cordova. The country was in a fer- ment from one end to the other. The deposed authorities at La Paez took refuge in the residence of the American Minister, but the house was broken into and the unfortunate fugitives taken there:rom, There is but litile of interest from Cuba. The health of Havana continued good. The markets are dull, with a large stock of sugaron hand. Exchange on New York was at three per cent premium. The African slave trade, unaflected by the commercial panic, continued brisk. The rumor of an intended invasion of Mexico still prevailed at Matanzas, and three hundred soldiers had been moved to Havana to take part in the expedition. A commercial letter from Kingston, Jamaica, states that “it is a very long time since we have had our market so bare of almost every article that we import as it is now. Prices have been well supported. The only article to be excepted is Sour, which, owing to the decline re- ported in last accounts from the United States, | has assumed a downward tendency, and it is ditficuit | to make sales, except ata low figure. As freights | have not offered, shipments have not been made. Pimento still continues in plentifal supply, and the sume may be said of corn and logwood. Sugar is searee, aud of fair qnality there is none in the market.” We have letters from Por the 13th ult. Business w: been received from the U au Prince, Hayti, to Ss very dull, Orders had ited States for remittances nd gold, which was scarce, was in demand, at high pre- miums. The coffee crop promised an abundant yield. The yellow fever was on the increase, but no deaths of Americans are reported. Our correspondent at St. John, Porto Rico, writing on the 2ist uit ever was this island so healthy and prosperous as at present. The sugar cane pro a large yield, and most of the products of the island ure bought up by foreign vessels of war, French and British, principally, with a Spanish and Danish corvette occasionally. Nearly all the old stock of sugar, molasses and rum has been exhausted. ‘The cotton plantations, which are increasing, look well.” The additional returns of the election in New York received yesterday confirm tho impression pre- viously entertained of the success of the democratic , State ticket. In New Jersey the democrats have been successful beyond their most sanguine anticipations. In Massachusetts, Banks, republican candidate for Governor, has a plurality of 23,000 over Gardner, Awerican.

No later news than upto the Sth ult. had reached England from | the United States, und we have yet to bear of the effect of the suspension of our banks opon the finan- cial affairs of Europe. At Liverpool cotton was de- pressed, and breadstuffs were dull, with a downward tendency in prices. It is reported that the French | government is about to remove the prohibition upon | the exportation of breadstuffs from France, There | is no later news from India or China. In Turkey there had been a minieterial crisie, and Resebid | Pacha bad been appointed Grand Vizier. This, it | was supposed, would still further complicate the question regarding the Danubian principalities. The | political intelligence from Europe is devoid of inte- rest. | The news from California has been anticipated. | ‘The Star of the West brought nearly a million aud a | half in treasure. The rainy season had set in in California, and business and mining operations were reviving simultaneously. Frow Australia we learn that the Sydney Legisla ture had awembled, and the address of the Govern Or was satisfactory, both in politics and finance. ‘The popular land tenure bill has advanced a step in | the Melbourne Parliament. The Buckland rioters who lately attacked the Chinese, were arrested in Melbourne. Large meetings of unemployed men were being held in that city. The gold and flour markets were unchanged. There were plentiful ar- rivals of gold dust at Sydney. Leprosy had broken out fearfully amongst the Chinese at Daisy Hill, toria, and many Europeans were attacked. Tobacco ‘and building materials sold well. Boots and shoes were dull, Flour was at from £21 to £24 per ton. The news from Central America is important.

In Maryland the candidates of the American party have been successful. In Baltimore there was con- siderable rioting, and several persons were seriously injured; bat, considering the notoriously turbulent character of a portion of the population of the city, | the day passed off quietly. One of our Washington correspondents sends us a long letter on the various negotiations that have been taking place in connection with the Nicaragua ‘Transit grant. It is a knotty and complicated subject, in which @ variety of persons and interests are repre- sentéd. The writer, however, seems to be well in- formed on the whole transaction, and therefore his jetter may be read with instruction and benefit to all concerned. The directors, stock and bondholders of the Erie Railroad Company held another meeting last even- ing, and adopted several important resolutions, which may be found in our report of the proceed- ings elsewhere. It is understood thot $1,000,000 of the $2,000,000 required by the company, have been subscribed, bnt it is not stated that the cash has been paid down. A large aud influential meeting of the property hol and residents on Fourth avente and adjacent streets, in favor of the Harlem aud New Haven Rail- road Company, and in opposition to the efforts of certat parties to stop running the cars below Forty- second street, was held last night at the corner of ‘Twenty-seventh street and Fourth avenue. Strong resolutions were unanimously passed, calling on the Common Council to sustain the railroad company. A report of the meeting and the resolutions is a voidably crowded out of our columns this morning. A number of the citizens of Brooklyn yesterday called upon Mayor Powell and represented the incon- venience to which they were subjected by the Green- wood line of city cars. Mayor Powell expressed his | determination to remedy the evils complained of, and the delegation retired highly pleased with the inter- view. The Police Commissioners will be apprised today by & communication from Mr. Draper of his views as to whether accept the proffired seat to fill vacancy in the Board. communication will b Mu the va What the character of the Mr. Draper alone knows, and he said yesterday that he could not tell whether he would take his seat. By this it would seem that his acceptance will be somewhat conditional. ‘The Board of Emigration Commissioners met y terday. A communication was received by them from the Quarantime Commissioners in reference to the temporary Quarantine buildings at Seguine Point. lings will go to ruin unless taken care of by the Emigration Board, whose duty it is, they «ay, by law to look after them. The emigration this year has been 161,578, which is some 40,979 increase as compared with last year. A Grand Jory was obtained yesterday in the Gen- eral Sessions, and Judge Russell charged them briefly on the usual topics, observing that the offenders against the new Excise law, who sold liquor on Sua id not be indicted for a misdemeanor, but a jd be imposed upon them for selling it on any day of the week. Ann Murphy, who was in dicted for the murder of a child of the first wife of a man named Callaghan, convieted of bigamy in mar- rying Aun Morphy, was discharged on her own re- tine of $60 cor cognizance, the evidence being insufficient to impli- cate her. Thomas Ragan was convicted of forgery in the second degree, and remanded for sentence.

The extended returns of our State election, which we publish this morning, confirm our an- ticipations of the probable result, Notwith- standing the 80,000 plurality for Fremont, and the sixty edd thousand for Governor King, last November, we were satisfied some months ago that the great issue of the Presidential elec- tion—* blecding Kansas "had died out, and that the practical issues touching the spoils and plunder corruptions of our last winter's Seward Legislature, and the pressure of this financial revulsion, would operate (o give the democracy the ascendancy in this November contest, with anything like discipline, confidence and exer- tion on their part. The substantial confirmation of these opinions isin the results before us. The Know Nothing party has diminished to a mere remnant, which will most probably disappear altogether in our next election; and the eighty thousaud plurality for Fremont has vanished like a driam. Nor will it answer to explain this remarkable falling off with the plea in behalf of the republicans of too much confidence in their strength, and too much in nce to the secondary issues of this election. The fact is that the diminution of the republican vote is a positive and permanent diminution. The tre- mendous Kansas excitement, which gave them their prodigous vote of last November, bas passed away with the causes which created it, and the contidence of the people in the Kansas policy of Mr. Buchanan has diverted their at- tention to other subjects of « more practical character, If there are sixty, eighty or a hundred thou- sand voting republicans of last fall who failed to vote in this lasiclection, the fact only shows that they have been reduced by the course of events to the position of indifferent neutrals, and that they are awaiting the political developements of the future upon which the reorganization of parties for 1860 will be made. The next step of these neutrals will be guided by the practical exigencies and developements of the times. The Kansas question substantially settled against slavery, th emont delinquents are at all events lost to the Seward anti-slavery or ganization of the North. Nor must it be for- gotten that, in addition to the Kansas collapse, the abominations of the last Seward Leyisla- ture have done much to confirm the disgust of the independent Fremont men—original demo- crats especially—with the miserable trickeries of Sewardism. The disintegration of the Know Nothing par- ty, and the lamentable falling off in the vote of | the republican party of this State, are thus equivalent to a great revolution in the opposi- tion camps. The opposition elements against the democracy are thus thrown all adrift, and their reorganization will now depend very much upon the financial policy of the adminis- tration and the proceedings of the coming Con- gress in reference to the commercial and tinan- cial measures and policy of the general govern- ment. For some months after the assembling of Congress there will doubtless be a terrible contest between the Southern fire-caters and the conservative democracy upon Kansas; but as the ineviteble destiny of Kansas is the desti- ny of a free State, and as the conservative de- moeraey, North and South, will be satistied with this solution, the worst that can be feared rom the fire-eaters is their seccssion, not from the Union, but from the ual democratic party and the administration, With the Kansas question thas happi posed of, and with the troublesome fire-eaiers thus happily purged from the ranks of the ad- ministration party, the future policy of Mr. Buchanan must be mainly directed to those ing from the heavy pressure of this univer- sal revulsion. Upon these great and compre- hensive issues will depend, not only the re- organization of the dormant materials of the opposition, but the stability and future success or deteat of the administration democracy, Our November election is a substantial en- dorsement of Mr. Buchanan's Kansas policy; but this financial revulsion is working every- where among the people and the politicians of all parties, aud they are awaiting the deyelope- ments of the coming Congress, Nothing now in the shape of political parties is fixed; but everything, and every party, and all party principles are undergoing the first processes of a general revolution and reconstruction. Govenson Watkrr » THE ADMINISTRA} rion.-It is now definitely and authoritatively understood that neither Governor Walker nor Seeretary Stanton is to be removed on account of the rejection of the Oxford precinct of John- von county and the MeGee county frauds from the returns of the late Kansi* election. ‘The | Governor transcended his instructions and the technical limitations of his official authority in the premises, as it appears; but the technical wrong may be justified in view of the great moral right and the ends of justice which the Governor by his action has vindicated. The President will hear the Governor and the Secretary in their defence, and he will sub- mit the question of the propriety or impropriety of their conduct to the dectsi of the Senate upon the simple question of their coafirmation or rejection as Governor and Secretary of Stat for Kansas. In this view of the matter the only policy that Mesere. Walker and Stanton can safely pursue is to stand the fire, and per- mit the Senate to pronounce judgment upon them. Let the fire-eaicre do their worst, there will yet remain a full two-thirds of the body to maintain the right against the wrong, and the policy of justice and order and peace against the policy of agitation, discord and bloody revolution. In the meantime, the editorial commenta- ries of those fire-eating organs, the Richmond South and the Charleston Mercury, are sig- nificant of « fiery and protracted contest between the secersion and conservative wings of the democracy in the coming Congress. The intervention of the financial revulsion doee certainly interfere with the estimates of the fire-eaters; but for all that, upon Kansas and Minnesota they will make ® most desperate fight before they surrender to this extent the tulance of power in the Senate to the North, und the conservatives of both eeetions. But if this laet desperate battle must come, let it come, and Jet it open upon the Kansas nominations of Walker and Stanton. The administration desires it, and let Walker and Stanton stand their groupd. practical financial aud commercial questions | ‘The Influx of Gold. Yesterday, the telegraph announced a further arrival of a million in gold by the Canada from England, while at the very same mo- ment the Star of the West came up the bay with a million and a half from California, Altogether the receipts of the week will hardly fal! short of three millions from abroad—to say nothing of the receipts of specie from the in- terior by our banks, This will place sixteen to seventeen millions of specie in the bank coffers hy Saturday: with a steadily decreasing cireu- lation and deposit and discount lines. The question which suggests itself, oa these facts, is, ought not the banks to avail themselves of this state of things—of the influx of specie and of the undoubted revival of confidence—to resume specic payments and enable the law to take its course naturally ? ‘The first difficulty in the way of this arrange- ment is the uncertainty which yet overhangs the news from England. We showed yesterday that six or seven days may yet elapse before we hear from Exgland of the effect produced by the sus- pension of specie payments by our banks here; until thal period clapscs, all will be, to some extent, enveloped in doubt. | Though the Bank of England muy possibly eustain herself and the private Anglo-American banking bquses squeeze through the crisis somehow, we know that some failures must take place, and we cannot tell what derangement that may not cause in our exchang Under the circumstances, with the prospect of an unexhausted balsace of undefined disaster before them, the banks pro- bably think that as they are at present in a staie of suspension and cannot be hurt by re- muining in that state a litte while longer, they muy as well wait, before taking any step till ihe worst has been heard from abroad. Again, it is generally stated that the resump- tion of our banks would be the death signal to a number of country banks, whose circulation would instantly be forced upon them for re- demption. We hear also that Boston and Phi- ladelphia are bitterly opposed to our resump- tion of specie payments, because they reason that such a step would make New York the focus of cash operations, and the great reservoir of specie for the whole country, to the obvious detriment of other rising places, and to the grave injury of the Philadelphia and Boston | banks which have also suspended specie pay- ments, and which cannot yet resume. Whatever basis there may be for these con- jectures, one thing is certain: the recovery of the country must commence from the resump- tion of specie payments by the New York banks. There can be no reliable recovery till that takes place. Stocks may rise and confidence may revive; but these will be mere spirts, to be followed by reaction corresponding in extent to the upward movement—until there is some solid point somewhere round which com- merce can commence the work of recovery and re-edification. So long as our banks refuse to pay specie for their obligations, they are vir- tually out of the community of the banking world; the Supreme Court may decide what it | pleases; but, in reality, they have shut them- selves out of the circle in which all foreign banks exist, and we, whom they represent, can- not do business on a footing of equality with foreign nations. For instance, we ean only do business on a footing of equality with England | whose national bank pays specie by an elabo- rate process of equalization of values by which our bad banks are reudered equal to her good bank. ‘The sooner the old standard is restored he better. So lar as this community is concerned we ap- prehend that no diflieuliy need be felt as stand- ing in the way of a resumption, Though some ailures still continue to occur, and maay dry goods dealers and others only maintain them- selves by obtaining extensions from their credi- tors, the panic which caused the bank suspen- | sion is at an end, and contidence between man | and man is gaining ground. Among the per- | sons whom the present troubles have forced to | many, nearly a half, who | are already making preparations to resume business on a prudent and coutracted scale. ‘They delay their decision in order to follow the banks, if possible, It is certain that ne harm could flow from a rerumption, to the bauk» themselves; while the gain to the community would be great aud ob- vious. suspend, we hear of ‘The Suspension of the Grocers’ Sugar Rer fining Company, «1 to (he suspension of this company yester compelled te appeai to its pot time to meet its obligations tuch surprive among peteons engaged in the sugar trade, as well as in money circles, ani ied yesterday to a good deal of talk We learn that this company was orga provisic the Jaw aut! maton par , Without a epecial act of incor poration it commenced with a paid up capital of about $600,000, f Is declared @ divider of ry kK dividend augmented its has produc woral State se hich into bon the juea, aud, Ww their buiiding and r ing these «trag the trustew: declared @ dividend on the ist of July yor Cent, in cash, on their eapital «tock. a question has arisen among the creditors company, Whether the trastees, in declaring a divi: | n duly, which they contend Was uot justified by the the company, or by its net earnings, have ed themselves persouaily | habilities not kne msists Of Butes the Ir0 races seme of our most | pminent, energetic ant chants, who, do it, will be able to work the @inpany through its aittieult | The ‘Trust is compos members, ae follows: — G.

R. C. Webster and J. C. Harris returned a couple of months since from Centrad America with a grant of tho Transit from tho government of Coata Rica, Captain Cauty, with real or pretomded authority from President Mora, with reference to futare negotiations connected with the mutter, accompanies these gentlemen from that republic. By the terms of this concession $250,600 was to be seut by the steamer of the 6th of September last by the grantecs, as part consi- deration therefor, Harris, being one of the firm of Mor- gan, Garrison & Co., it was understood, as part of the transaction, that Morgan & Co. were ‘te advance the money, Webster receiving a certain consideration for his interest in the grant. In the meantime, it appears that other parties in connection with Joseph L. White and Mr. ‘Ysearri, an unrecognized Minister of ) agua, bad pro cured @ grant ior the privilege of transit from’ the thea provisiohal dictators ot Nicaragua, Martinez and Jerez. ‘Thus two opposing interests wore found in New York, as te Central Alnorice, claiining the Transit—Costa Riew aud jearagua each claiming the right to dispose of it. On the one band, is Costa Rica exercising Jurisdiction over the territory 07 the ‘Transit route, in possession of the bouts and fortitications on the river San Juan, she being the only competent tower to protect the territory from lawless invasion—Nicaragna, prostrated and helj after the flibustering ‘wars, which have desol the country, claiming that the territory of the Transit right fully Belongs to her, az part of her original jurisdiction, ‘Lo cut short these difficulties and get ession of the ‘Transit a scheme Was concocted, in which it would seem. Garrison and Morgan, White and Yssarei were to join, by which the former were to save paying: the $250,000 lo Costa Rica, and by which Costa Ried and her ally, Web- ster und ihe Webster-Harris grant, were to be left to whistle for any interest they inight have in the Transit. ‘This scheme was to secure the recognition of Senor ¥; as Minister of Nicaragua, and celebrate 4 treaty ‘velween our government and Nicaragua, by which the supri ot that republic over the territory. of the: Trans was to recognized, aud the concessions of transit, ag made in the grant of Martines and Jerez upheld. While this arrangement was consum- mating here, Garrison and Morgan, through Capt, Cauty, whom they have sent bac! to Central America for sucht purpose, and who, either soally or protessedly, under- took to uccomplizh their designs, was to procure a tem- porary lease of the lake and river steamers from Coste Rica for Messrs. Geerison aud Morgan, on the assurance of the latter that th cilitate the reopening of th Webster-Harris grat as soon as the guarantee of such grant should be obtained by President Mora, “It was understood, on his part, that he was to procure this 4s a more legitimate gov- ernment Was established in Nicaragua, Garrison and Mor- gan promising to advance tho sid $250,000, The elec- ton of a President for Nicaragua was to, and did, ocear before on the 26th September, and it was calculated that the new government to bo established by this election— which it was anticipated would co-operate with President Mora—could take action in the matter, the scheme would be consummated, Under cover of performing the Webster-Harris grant and a temporary lease of the boats, they would get pos- session of the Transit, and by the anucipated coup d'etat at Washington, bring about a’state of things which woutd ze their holding possession of the ‘Transit, without wy with the Costa Rican grant, aut, in fact, put- v government in a position to sustain this posses- sion a against the claims of Costa Riea. How near or re- this scheme bas approached consummation Iam not 4; though, if the statements of the parties are ta. bo credited, it Was all but accomplished. Certain it is, Yssarrt has not been recognized as Minister; no treaty bas beon concluded, and Tam not advised that Capt. Cauty has yet induced Costa Rica to deliver up the boats to Messrs. Gar- rison and Morgan. 1 am inclined to believe that the mat- ter has become pretty well understood here, and that our government will wash its hands of the whole transse- tion. Mr. Buchanan's administration will not knowingly engage y scheme of deception, or in aiding the schemes of iduals in any doubtful’ deatings with foreign govern- nts, even though such sehemes may promise tw facili- tate so important 4 resuit to our country as the re-opening of the transit. Costa Kica is by far the most important and respectable government in Central America. She is, de facto, exorcis- ing jurisdiction over the territory, and it would be not only establishing a new principle of international law, but an entire reversal of old and well established principles of international policy, to treat with a government concern- ing # territory in the actual possession and under the coutrol and jurisdiction of another Power. We have al- recognized governmental power in those countries rritories where it clearly appears to exist, without ce to the rights or means by which that govern- ment has obtained and exercises such power and jurisdie- tien, so that if our government was to treat with any Vower in Central America 4s competent to confer ri and privileges of transit within that territory, it would be with Costa Rica, she now being in possession. But [understand that honorable national policy and in- ternational law are not the only impediments to the com- summation of this attempted coup d'etat. Any grant or treaty that the government, if such it may be called, of Martinez and Jerez might make before the 26th of Sep- temb would be of no binding force within the ter- ‘ite Nicaragua without the approval of the legislative asseinbly of that republic. No such assembly has been convened since the disturb- ances of Walker. | ‘The government of Costa Rica now has the right to an. nul the Webster-Harris grant, its provisions not having | been complied with. This right she will most probabl avail herselt of, alter the exposure of the designs rer § | some of the parties interested in it have manifested to- wards This will leave the two xovernments to jom in @ new disposition of the Transit, which thore is a strong probability of their doing. In the meantime, where is Webster? After the betrayals to which he has been sub- jected, where shall we next Oud him, aud in whose com- pany? | Capt. Van Vielt’s Oficial Account of pt roa: bis Viste Ham's Fork, Sept. 16, 1857. Cartaix—I have the honor to report, for the infor. mation of the Commanding General, the result of my trip to the Territory of Utah. I instructions, dated Hoad . ort Leavenworth, July 28, 1857, I 0, and ri Kearney be in Port Larmie in ten, and Great Sait | Lake City in thirty-three anda haif. At Fort Kearney I Was detained one day by the changes I had to make and by sickness, and at Fort Laramie three days, as all the sbimals were forty miles from the post, ‘and when brought in all had 10 be shod before they could take tho Fort Leavenworth ne travelling road. J travelled ay rapidly six mule wagons of fat least hi animals are win wo until they recruit, Ty progress towards Utah To met on people from that Territory, and alxo several mountain men at Green river, and all informed me that | would not be allowed to enter Utah, and if T did, 1 would run great risk of loving my I treated all this, however, as idle talk; but it induced me to leave my wagons and escort at Ham's Fork, 143 miles this side of the city, and proceed aiune. I reached Great Salt Lake City without molestation, and y pon my arrival 1 informed Gey. Brigham T desired an interview, which he appointed for vening of 'the day of iy arrival, men of the city, a The Governor recet i ted mo uring iy stay, which SIX days, with the greatest hospitality and in this inter the Geverior made Known views with regard to the approach of the United States troops in plain and antmistakeable language. He stated that the Mormons had heen persecuted, mar- and robbed in Missouri and Ulinois, both by the thorities, and that the United States ame course, and that, there J to resist hat the troapa enter the Great © words, all thase what ho said. 8 person the letters with whieh Thad beea en- trusted In that interview, and in several enbeeqnent ones, the amo determination to resist tothe desth the entrance of the troops into the Valley was expressed by Governor Young and these about him, The Governor informed mo that there was abundance of everything I required for the troops, such ae lumber, forage, &e., but that none would be shid to as. In the couree of my conversation with the Governor and the influential men in the Terriory, 1 told them plainly: what I conceived would be the result of their present course. [told them that they might prevent the ¥ force now approaching Utah from. getting narrow deiilea and rugged passes of the mountains this year, but that next season the United States government would seud troops suflicont to overcome wosition. The answer to thie waa invariably the samo, e are aware that euch will be the ease, bat when troops arrive they will find Utah a desert, every house will be burned to the ground, every tree ent down, ond every field Ind waste. We have three years’ provi- sions on hand, which we will “cache” and then take tothe mountains and bid deflance to all the powers of the go- vernment.”’ Tattended their service on Sanday, and im course of a sermon delivered by Elder Taylor, he referred to the approach of the troops and declared thai they should ater the Terri then referred to the proba- fan overpowering force being sent against them, ired all persons who would apply the torch to thoir wn buildings, cut down their troes, and lay Waste their fields, to hold up their hands; every hand in an audience numbering over 4.000 persons was fared at the same to- ment. During my stay in the elty I visited several fami- lies, and all with whom TL was thrown looked pou the present movement of the troops towards theit Territory as the commencemcnt of another Feligions persecu and expressed a fixed determination to sustain Governor Young in any toasures he might stopt. From all these facts Tam foreed to the conclusion that Governor Young&nd the people of Utah will prevent, if possible, the army for Utah from entering their Territory this season, This, in my opinion, will not be a ‘ica ‘<4 of the season, the smallness of onces that nature bas thrown around, the valley of the Great Si) Lake. There ie but one road running into the valley on the side which our troops are anproae Ling, and for over fifty miles it passes through: | narrow canons and over rngyet thountaine, which m® email force could hold against groat odds. 1am inclined, however, to believe that the Morinons will not resart setual hostilities until the last moment. Their plan of operations will be Wo burn the grass, cnt wp the roada and stampede the animals, so 8 to delay the troaga until snow commonces to fall, which will render the Foad im: passable, Snow faila early in thir region; in fact, last night it commenced falling at Fort Bridger, and this morning the surrounding mountains are clothed in white. Wore it one month earlier in the scason 1 believe tho troops could foree their way in, and they may be able to ven now; but the attempt wilt he franght with ble danger arising irom the tilligg up of the \ canons and preset with snow. 1 do qot wish to be con- altored that Lam advocating either the one course of the other. Teimply wish to lay the frets before the General, | leaving it to his better fudement to decide upon the proper movements. Notwithstanding my inability
