Our Panama Correspondence. Panama, August 5, 1863. ‘The Salvador arrived the evoning of the 4th from Cen- tral America. She brings the news of the continuance of the war betweon Guatemala and Salvador. General Barrios, President of Salvador, was wm the capital await- ing an attack. Pronunciamientos have been issued in all parts of the republic by his enemies, deposing him and giving adhesion to Don Feo. Duenas, the Provisional President, nominated and supported by General Carrera. ‘The troops or Guatemala are in possession of Opico, Su- chitota and Cojanpoque, and are reported as moving on San Viceate, in order to cut off the communication be- tween the capital and the department of San Miguel. ‘Consequently the rule of President Barrios is almost con- fined to the capital, and he has no resources except what be can secure from the sale of goods confiscated (som bis Opponents. Treason still shows itself with unbfusbing front, General Hernandez, sent to oppose the Guatemalan Genera} Cirna, having joined him. A party of the revola- tionists entered Santa Jccia,atown nine miles west of the oapital, aud took prisoner Mr. Fspinosa,a half brother of thé Yresident.

There is no dnbt that General Mi losing mavy men from desortion, and should his force be much weakened be will bp obliged to retreat. His bead. quarters are at Senta’ Ana, where the Provisional Presi- dent holds his court. ‘This gentleman, Don Feo. Duenas, upon being instalied in office made a speech in which appears one of two cauzes of the censure against the government of General Barrios, viz: the oppo- sition of the pricsts, who were properly made subordinate to the civil power. He says:—"The people of Salvador are abovo all Catholics, and it is the duty of every govern- ‘ment which would move in accordance with public opin- Yen, $0 give gvory support and sasistance to the chief of Church’? Thoro is also a curious express lon in tho same speech, a follow: cessfully our aims.” 1 ‘The Minister of the United States to Salvador, Jas. KR.

Moncy is very easy and comfortable at 6 a 6 per cent. In some quarters we hear complaints that it was found impossible to lend money at 6 per cent, while in others 6 is mentioned as the fair rate for call loans. A good deal in such cases de- pends upon the kind of security, the character of the borrower, the amount of margin, and the hour of the day. As the Sub-Treasury has disbursed eight million dollars within a week, and the heavy disbursements in payment of the troops are yet to come, there is every reason to look rather for lower than higher rates of interest. There is no change in mercantile paper er debt certificates. ~ Gold was better this morning, sclling up to 126%, and exchange to. 1899490140 for first class bankers’ bills. - In the afternoon gold closed at 126% 8%. No cause was assigned for the ad- vance. One or two persons thought the.danger of ‘a conflict betwoetr and State authority had something to do wi But the truer explana- ‘Yon is probably that @ number of buyers happened to give simaltancous orders at & moment when there did not happen tobe an equal number of sellers to meet them. The stock market was excited to-day and va- riable, The leading stock was Michigan Southern old, which, after closing yesterday at 9224, sold this afternoon at 102—an advance, even in these days of rapid movements, almost unprecedented. As there has been no talk of a dividend on this stock, the advance is ascribed to a movement similar to the one which carried Toledo last yinter and spring from 65 to 116—in other words, a fur- ther extension of the principle ef sonsokdation, involving, perhaps, a pretty sweeping change of direction. The movement is supposed to be under the direction of the powerful clique which has suc- ceeded so strikingly with Pacific Mail, Harlem, &c, ‘Tho gencral list was steady to-day. The market ‘was very weak before the first bowrd, and the street operators were greatly excitéd about the railroad war, respecting which the most ridiculous stories were circalated and generally believed. Erie was done as low as 10%, Central 123%, '&c. At the board there was a rally of 1 per cont in Brie, 4 in Central and ¥% in Erie preferred.

Under the lead of Southern old the whole market was rather firmer in tone and @ shade better in prices. The enormous short interest which has been made within the past few days begins to tell upon the market, especially as most of the shorts are made by borrowing stock. ‘The impression appeared to Prevail that the railroad war acare was about played out, and could not be used effectively for more than one day orso longer.

It is understood that the two great New York lines follow the example of the Pennsylvanta Central, and decline to bear any proportion of the reduc- tion, as the fight is not theirs. This plan will bring the Fort Wayne and the Canada Trunk road to their senses within a few days; but the Western roads may discover that by disturbing the tariff of rates they have lost what they will not easily re- cover. Under -the recent tariff they got con- siderably more for their work than their Eastern connections, For instance, when the fare from New York to Chicage was $22, the Erie and Cen- tral received $9 for carrying passengers four hundred and thirty miles, while the Western lines reoeived $13 for carrying them five hundred and thirty-five miles. With the fare at $18, the New York ronds still get $9 for their four hundred and thirty miles, while the Western lines only get as much for thoir five hundred and thirty-five miles. When the tariff is readjusted, we judge that the Eastern roads will claim to be paid as much per mile as their Western connections. If 2% cents a mile be the rate agreed upon—which will probably be the basis of settlement—the lines west of Buffalo will receive something like $13 30, and the New York lines about $10 75, ef the total through fare to Chicago. The quarrel is thus far a tempest in a teapot. The number of passengers on each road whose fares wil! be affected by it will not average twenty per day, andonsome of the roads the average is considerably lesa; so that the actual pe- cuniary loss to the lines fs really less than would be caused by three consecutive days of wet weather.
