Prerar Astartr Uroy 4 Teacums or ax Evsinc Scoot.— Tast evening, about half past nine o'clock, a most brutal aseault was committed upon a teacher of the Fourth ward ing School, named Francis McHugh, by one of the pupiis, accompanied by a gang of rufflans, re- sulting in Mr. Melugh’s head being badly cut and tis person ctherwise irjared. It seems that the above sclool opened on Monday evening. Among others who were in attendance was a boy named James O'Neal. Last ovening Mr. McHugh requested him t) participate in the exercise of readipg. He refused, and ‘the texcher told him that if he desired to compiy with the rules of the achool he mnet obey his commands, But he ‘will rcfused. and, turning around, seize something with the intenticn of hitting the teacher. Mr. McH. immediately had O'Neal ejected trom the school. It seems that 0 Neal, Bs soon as he got out, ran off and procured a clno an about twenty or thirty Fourth ward raffians, and laid in wait for McHugh when he came out of the school house to go heme. He had hardly got to the corner when 0’ Nea! stole ‘up bohind him and dealt him a heavy blow on the back of the head, and at the same time was aided by the others, who aiso struck McHugh several heavy blowson the head. ©’Neal finally started off to run, when McHugh drow a revolver and fired two shots at O'Neal, none of which, however, took effect. Officer Devin, of the Sixth ward, being near, ov Jed O'Neal and arrested him, aud he was according!y locked up to answer. MclHugh’s head ig terribly cut, and it is fearcd he will be unable to attend at his duties for some time. The eut in the skull was two and a baif inches in height, and may result fatally. Extensive Haut or Couyterrare Money.—An important discovery was made by policeman Fitzmaurice, of the Se cond precinct, yesterday. On visiting a dwelling house in Ridge street, near Grand stroet, occupied by the mis- tress of John Si00ks or Schnocks, the well known forger, the officor found a hugo pile of counterfeit and bogus bank bills, umounting in all to $3,000. There were six different kind of billk, which we will desoribe as foliows:— Ones, on the Memphis Savings Institution Bank of Mem- is, Tennessee, well executed and calculated to deceive. 106 on the Same bank, Vignette two females, a loco- motive under full beadwar, and the bust of Washi . Twos, on the Bank of Commerce of Providence, R. 1. ‘Twos, on the Hank of Commerce of Baltimore, Md. Twos, on the Bank of Commerce of Cleveland, Ohio. The vignettes in each of the st three named banks were the same as that used in “twos” onthe Momphis Bank, the name of the bauk, the State and city being altered to suit the desire of the counterfeiter, Besides this there were numerous “fives”? for counter- feiting New Jersey bank bills, The name of the bank and the city was left blank in each ease, ko that by means of the pasting process the bill might be altered to any dank in the State, ‘The vignette is rather pretty. On the Tight is the portrait of Andrew Jackson, on tho leftis a picture of the Goddess of Justice, and in the centre is the figure of Washington, surrounded by bis officers. Tho money was placed in the hands of the Deputy Superin- tendent, where «ll who are interested can bave an oppor- tunity of examinin, AN Unwetcome Surprise —As Mr. Thos. Rooney, late of Utica, was enjoying himself at the Melodeon, in the Bowery, on Sunday evening, he was sutdenly seized by @ couple of policemen and charged with being a fugitive from justice. Tho officers charged the gentleman with having stolen $300 from a man named Sherwood, and in- gisted on his going back to Utica to answer the complaint there preferred ugainet him. Mr. Roonoy flatly denied the soft impeachment, and intimated that he would not tamely submit to the indignity of being dragged from the ‘theatre like a common thief; bot a few wholesome shakes and the production cf a pair of batons soon calmed his temper. He was brought to the First ward station house aud there locked up for the night. Yesterday the prisoner was brought befure Justice Osborne and committed for exaunination. Avireep OvTRAGE Upon A Femaue.—A woman named Mari Cassidy was found in an jnsensible condition at the foot of ‘Twelfth strvet yesterday morning by poticeman Beuiman, of the Ninth precinct.

The poor creature was subsequen mvayed to Bellevue Hospital, where she now liek in a dangerous condition, None of the row: dier have yet been arrested, but, aS usual, the police are wanguine of being able to offect their capture at an early aay.

The proprietor of the place, who is a colored man, named Henry Wilson, was also arrested, and his wife, Margaret.

The Reports of Filibustcring Expeditions Discreaited—Reception of the News from California, ete. OUR SPECIAL WASHINGTON DESPATCH. WASHINGTON, Oct. 3, 1859. Our government have no intelligeuce of the new filibus- tering expedition, and the reports with regard to it are not credited here. The Attorney General has recently communicated with the Marshais and District Attorneys, Rot only in the South but in other sections of the country, to keep vigilant watch, but thus far nothtay has been received, ‘The administration arc exccedingly felicitous at the in tolligence received here to-day announcing the Bucesss of the democratic ticket in California. ‘The successful bidders for the transportion of supplies for the army are twenty-tive per cent lower than present contract prices, Mr. Lisboa, the Brazilian Minister, was presented to the President to-day by tho Secretary of State, when the usual friendly sentiments were exchanged. ‘The Hon. A. B. Greenwood, Commissioner of Indian Af. fairs, is about to negotiate with ‘he Delawares, Shaw:ces and several other Indian tribes for the surrender of a portion of their reservations. This is with a view to inau- gurate a considerable change in the Indian policy of the government, Hitherto the reservations have been larger than was useful. It is believed that with less land and more money the progress of the Indian in agriculture and other arts of civilization will be stimulated, and a success achieved which seems almost impossible under the pre- Bent system. An improved system will be. fully present- ed in the Commissioner’s report, and it is to perfect it that he has undertaken his journey to the Weat. ‘The Cabinet on Friday decided upon further instruc- tions to our Minister to China, and the Navy Department has in preparation instructions to the Flag Officer of the Fast India squadron in reference to the difficulties which now exist in the Celestial Empire. The tenor of thege in. structions has not transpired. The Secretary of War has issued a general order defin- ing the special functions of Boards of Survey, and estab- lishing general regulation to insure the proper diaposal of military property not required by the immediate wants of the public service. ‘The President returned on Saturday from his summer quarters at the Soldiers’ Home, and is again domiciliated at the White House. He will leave here either to-morrow evening or next day morning for Wheatland. He will be absent only a few days. THE GENERAL NEWSPAPER DESPATOH. Wasmxatox, Oct. 3, 1859. Although the bids for army transportation have been opened it is understood no contracts will be made for some days. The Department will especially take care that troops in Utsh shal be promptly supplied. It was stated in the advertkement inviting proposals that tho right would be ‘‘reserved of rejecting any or all bids which mighi be offerod,’’ and this, it is presumed, was in view ot the fact that some might be so low as not to insure a com- pliance with the public. The new Commissioner of the Land Office, ex-member of Congress Smith, of Tennessee, will enter upon his duties next week. Mr. Lisboa was to-day formally received ag Minister from Brazil. The Postmaster has returned. He resumed his duties to-day. SAFETY OF THE LOST BALLOONISTS. News from Messrs. La Mountain and Had- dock—Their Descent in the Canada Wil. dernese—Their Sufferings and Providen, tal Rescue, ‘Troy, N. ¥., Oct. 5, 1859. A dispatch was received in this city this evening from Professor La Mountain, dated Ottowa, C. W., Oct. 3, Itis as follows:-— Lost all.

Orrawa, C. W., Oct. 3, 1859. Professor La Mountain and Mr, Haddock came into Ot- tawa to-day, having landed 160 miles north of Ottawa, in the great Canada wilderness. They were brought out by Indian guides in bark canoos. They travelled in their Dalloon 300 miles, and were up in the air from four to five hours only. For over four days they have been in the wilderness, without food and with no means of #triding a fire. They were rescued most providentially bya Mr. Cumeron, who was bunting timber with Indian guides. Another Filibuster Expedition Reported. Purtapetrma, Oct. 3, 1859. A special Washington despatch to the North American says that another formidable filibuster expedition is pre- paring against Nicaragua. A portion has succeeded in teaving New York and Charleston, but no demonstration is to be made until the plans are fully matured. General Wheat is to have an important position in the crusade. WAsHInaton, Oct. 3, 1859. Additional reports have reached this city,from respec- table sources, of a contemplated fitibustering invasion of Central America. If it shall appear that an expedition for this purpose is in progress, every means will be taken to intercept it. ‘The orders heretofore issued by this govern- ment on that subject aro in full force. Our Special Albany Despatch. ALMANY, Oct. 3, 1859. Hon. Isracl T. Hatch, direct from Washington, passed through this city this morning on his return to Buffalo. He states that be intends to enter immediately upon the duties assigned bim by the President, in the examination of the operations of the revenue and trade between this country and Canada under the reciprocity treaty. The appointment is av exceilent one, and from the conceded ability and knowledge of the international business oa our northwestern frontier which Mr. Hatch possesses, there can be no doubt that his report will be highly useful to the government. ‘The democracy are preparing for a monster meeting in this city to-morrow (Tuesday) evening, to ratify the State nominations, Three of their most eloquent and distin guished speakers, Messrs. Dickinson, Dix and Seymour, will address the multitude. The campaign will then be fairly opened. The St. Louts Fatr. Sa. Lovis, Oct. 3, 1857.

Sr. Lous, Oct. 2, 1859, ‘The overland mail, with San Francisco dates of the 9vh wit, arrived this evening. The State election on the 7th resulted in the undoubted choice of Millon S Latham, the Lecompton democratic candidate Governor, by a very Jarge majority, per- haps 20,000, Messrs, Scott and Burchall are probably elected to Congress, although their opponents, Messrs. Raker and McKibben, who received the united vote of the ublican and anti-Lecompton parties, have the benefit of slight doubt in their favor. The anti-Lecompten candi- “ate for State printer, who was also supported by the re- Publicans, har a slight chanco of election. With these possible exceptions, the democratic Lecompton State ticket is elected by an immense majority, Both branches of the Legislature are largely democratic. It would be about a week before the offic al returns were counted. ‘The ‘‘people’s reform’? ticket, being the regular succes- sion of that inaugurated in 1856 by the Vigilance Commit- tee, has again triumphed in San Francisco, by a haud seme majority, Since the sailing of the steamer of the Sth business had been a good dea! interfered with by the State election, and but a light demand for goods for the country had been ex- Perienced, A number of arrivals had occurred from Atlantic and foreign porta, from which a few sales are re ported, The market remained firm, and quotations unchanged. {The arrivals and departures of vessel from San Fran cisco will be found under the regular marine head.—Ep.

Aguado escaped from the town of Margarita, ad Jacent to Laguayra, during the attack, and it ig supposed that he succeeded in reaching Victoria. ‘That town was successfully attacked and taken by the government forces under Rubin, who may be considered the rising military chief in Venezuela, having in the space of thirty days defeated the revolutionists in half a dozen actions. Barcelona has been retaken by the government forces under Commandant Pinto. Commmandant Garrido totally lefeated the revolutionists under Acevedo at Hezuerote. pitilio had been twice defeated by the government forces under Commandant Ruiz. General Jore Maria Zamora arrived in Caracas. His brother, Colonel Zamora, defeated a party of revolution- ists belonging to the Jotilto party. Choroni, taken by the revolutionista, had pronounced in ‘favor of the government. General Falcon, the head of the revolution, was in Bar- quikimento. The government forces, under General Ramos, marched against him from Valencia. During the occupation of Laguayra by Aguado, foreign veesels of war were much required to protect the foreign residents. A Spanish brig was seized by Aguado to serve as acruiser, but a Dutch war schooner compelled her prempt delivery to her captain and crew. During the action at Laguayra on the 2d of September the Spanish Cousul’s house was menaced by the revolu- tioniste, on which the Spanish vessel of war in port landed @ purty of marines for his protection. If the town had not been taken by the government forces on the 24, the Spanish vessel would probably have commenced hostilities against the revolutionists on account of the seizure of the Spanish brig, and many atrocities committed against Spanish residents. Fercign veesels of war were daily expected, which, as veval, would arrive when their services were not re- quired. Mr. Smith, the American Chargé, it 1s said, ex: rected American versels daily. The present revolution may be strictly classified ag an anti-social movement, the motives being power, plunder and revenge. Several estate vers and their overseers had been murdered, and their property sacked, ina most atrocious manner, ‘All the moet respectable citizens, young and old, turned out as volunteers, and have behaved most . especially the company of riflemen n volunteers, whom, in the attack eilenced the enemy’s artillery, twelve y twenty-fours, by a severe fire from apd capable inued in charge of the executive. ‘The President, M.

That the means through which it was alleged that the defendant had deceived the bank, and the reception of the money, were set forth at length? but that no reference whatever was madefto intermediate transactions, so that it was impossible for the Judge to determine what particular affence or offences. the accused should be held to answer. Counsel said that he had understood that these things had beens purposely omitted by direction of the bank, the offleers of which had acted from the kindest and most generous impulses, so as to —TRIPLE SHEET.

Steerage passengers are carrieit to San Francisco, a dis- tance of five thourand miles, for forty-five dollars a head— Jess than one centa mito and found! But which of the three steainers will carry the mails? That is the question One special reporter sends in the following statement:— ‘The foreign mails, to Aspinwall, Panama, &c., are to be sent by the Vanderbilt steamer Northern Light, which leaves to-morrow at two o'clock, The other mails, California, Oregon, &c., will be sent forward under the Johnaon contract or by the North At- Jantic and Pacific Mai!

If Commodore Jobnston can satisfy Mr. King that he can get the mails across in time, and will give satisfactory security to that effect, then the mails will be sent via Nicaragua, but unless he can do #o they will bo sent by the Northern Light.

TO THE EDITCR OF THE NEW YORE MERALD. T noticed in some of the journals of this city yes- terday an advertisement announcing that the United States and Central American Company will send the Steamer St. Louis from thie port on the Sth inst. with pas- sengers for San Francisco vik Nicaragua, by which = shert and cheap passage is offered, and representing that all the necessary arrangements have been made on tho Isthmus for the opening of the route. Paving the most reliable information about the state of” the route of Nicaragua, I think it to be my duty to lay be- fore the public a few remarks, to which I request you to give room in your respectable columns. In the first place, Ican state from the best authority that the above mentioned company have not any right whatever to establish any transit route through the terri- tory of Nicaragua. They have not made any speciab contract with the government of that republic, nor can they pretend to under the declaration of free transit, as they have not obtained the permission (patentee) that is required according to the Sacre of the government of Nicaragua of the 30th of May st. ‘The statement thatarrangements have been made on the Tethmus for the conveyance of passengers &c., is, I have the pain to say, utterly false. Everybody knows that the Nicaragua route require boats on the lake, boats om the San Juan river and a good road on the land route, with a sufficient number of surtable carriages and mules. There are new geveral eye witnesses in this city, jnet come from Nicaragua, who assert that there are not such boats on the take or river; nor were apy preparations being made on the land part of the route. The boats that the American Canal Company sent mapy months ago are in a ruinour condition, I have the moet reliable information, too, that the par- tics pretending to send passengers on the 6th applied a short time ago to the government of Nicaragua for permission to send up the river a gmail boat, and that such permission was refused on account of ad- vices that had been received from this and other cities, to the effect that said partics were in connection with Wil- liam Walker and his companions. some readers of the Hrraip will perhaps remember that this application and refusal was predicted in a communication of mine pub- lished in th's journal on the 11th of July last. . It is quite sure, then, that the persous who may be in- duced to take passage via Nicaragua will be snbjected to all classes of anpeyances and troubles, on account of the want of preparations on the route, of the scarcity of all the neccsearies of life in the wild country they have to traverse, and perhaps on account, too, of the orders that the government of Nicaragna has given to the officers in. command of the forces on the river and lake. Itis true that the Nicaraguan government is very de- sirove that the United States mail should pass through the Isthmus; but it has declared that no company or in- dividual shall be allowed to transport passengers, &c., without @ special permission to do sc, The common law of nations gives to Nicaragua the right to make and enforce such declarations, and the same is acknowledged by the treaty just’ made between that. republic and the United States, which, in its 1th article, while it gives to the latter the privilege of sending their Tails, declares that this privilege shall never be extend- ed to the transportation of passengers, &o. The above is an impartial statement of the facts. You will find enclosed my card. Oct. 3, 1859. A CENTRAL AMERICAN. THE XEW LINE TO THE PACIFIC.

A trotting match for $2,000, mile heats, best three in five, in harness, came off yesterday afternoon, between br. g. Brown Dick and black g. Lancet. Both horses ap- peared in good condition, and great stories were circulated about the private time that each bad made within a few days. The attendance was quite slim for a race between two such well known trotters as the above, which may be accounted for by the many humbug matches that have taken place during the past summer, and winch have created an impression in the minds of the majority of the patrons of the trotting turf that few are on the “square.”? The present match was undoubtedly a tena fide affair, and was conducted throughout with the right spirit. The betting ranged from even to two to one in favor of Brown Dick until just before the start, when a higher rate of odds was wager’ on bim. A large amount was invested on the result (in his scoring seemed very rank and indulged in (1: quent breaks, which dampened the ardor of hig friends considerably; still they hoped he would do better in the race. Their expecta- tions, however, were not realized, as he acted very un- steady in each heat, breaking up badly; and even wher: going alone he did not show that dogree of speed that Persons were led to suppose, from his great reputation, that he was master of. But to the details:— Firs! Heat—The horses had a beautiful send off and went side and side about half way around the upper twrn, when Lancet broke up and fell off several lengths. Dick went to the quarter pote in thirty-six secon!s, and widening the gap down the hackstretch, reached the half mile pole in 4:12, sixty yards ahead of Lancet, It was evident that Dick was not urged around the lower turn, nor cn the homestretch, and he came home on a jog in in 2:32, the biack being beaten about fifty yards. resuit of this heat was a damper to the friends of Lancet, and they had ‘nothing to propose in the shape of a bet, notwithstanding that various kinds of odds were thrust i their faces from al! quarters, one hundred to ten being. oflered that Lick would win the race. id Heat—Lanvet broke up several times in scoring, and it was evident to all that he did not intend to settle down to his work on this occasion. At length they got the word pretty evenly together, but before they were away from the score sixty yards ,Lancet went to pieces, and Dick left him, and dashing round the upper turn, passed the quarter pole in thirty-seven seconds, about thirty yards in advance of Lancet. “Dick kept this advantage down the buckstretch, notwithstanding that Lancet had settled down and was doing his best, and reached the half mile pole in 1:14. The horses maintained their relative positions from there to the ¢ ate, when %ick was. taken in hand, and came bome at jeisuro, making the heat in 2:31.
