Paxama, Oct. 1, 1867. Dates por the steamer Guatemala are received up to the 27th ult, The preliminary work on the railway across Costa Rica is said, inthe Oficial Gazette, to be progressing favorably. This “preliminary work,” however, con- sists in cutting @ trail for the surveying party, The Costa Ricans,as much as they desire to see their country diversified and improved by steam and wagon roads, have no faith whatever tn the success of this un- dertaking. Greater engineering difficulties have been Overcome in other parts of the world, but the question fo this case is one of a different kind. Whence is the revenue to proceed? A road of such length could not successfully compete for foreign traffic with the shorter routes now in existence. Neither will the local trade sapport the railway, although statements to that effect have beon frequently made. The project will most likely fall, as there are too many argumenis to be used against the enterprise. Affairs in Salvador seem to be prospering.

SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE HERALO, A Plea for Monarchy in South America=The British Advances to Mosquera—The Spanish Pacific War. Panama, Oct, 1, 1867, ‘Tue wamquitiiey tase which this countey selepecd after the stirring scenes of the past few months bids fair to remain unbroken for a longer period than usual in the history of this government. The frequency of poli- tical disturbances, of complete revolutions and sangui- mary wars, has almost convinced the world that Colombia, that Ecuador, Peru and nearly the whole of the Spanish American people are incapable of govern- ing themselves in republican fashion, and that the erection of @ consolidated monarchy ia South America is the only means of restoring Jaw and order to the country, Louis Napoleon schemed for the over- throw of republicanism on the southern part of this hemisphere two years before the disastrous termination of his Mexican expedition, and general Mosquera, who is now confined in the stronghold of Bogoté, was sent from the French Court with bis venerable head full of the Emperor's plans and desires of reconstructing Latin America, Mosquera sailed for Volombia, apparently to assume his position as President of the republic, but in reality to scheme for the overthrow of the govera- ment and to proclaim himseif Dictator as the initial step to the erection of an absolute monarchy oa the ruins of the old fabric. How he planned and plotted aad how he failed in the execution of his darling schemes are stories too old to be repeated. The people rose in opposition to their former favorite, republican: ism was vindicated and Napoleon's cause wi lost. Public sentiment vow seems to favor the mere expulsion of Mosquera from Colombia, while for ashort time after bis overthrow, it was thought that nothing but his execution would appease the appetite for vengeance manifested on the part of his personal ag ‘weil as political enemies, It is more than likely that Mosquera will shoruy be removed from prison to some = beyond the borders of this country. He will doubt jess go to Europe, there awaiting a possible change of government at Bogota, when he will be at liberty to re- torn. The old fellow's private purse has grown pletboric off the mistortunes of bis goverument, affording tn this eo & paralie! to the case of ex-president Fezet, of eru, and he will be able to maintain himself in style ‘and digaily wherever he may choose to make his babi- tation. An agent of the English house of Cotterill has gone to Bogota on the fruitless errand of recovering the $100,000 anced py them to President Mosquera as so much d on the railroad rese1 which they conf- dently expected to secure, This obscure British con- cern no doubt bad an understanding with Mosquera by which both parties were to realize a handsome little sum ; Dut since the defeat of their plans by the New York company the Cotterills are endeavoring to save them- selves from standing an equitable proportion of the losa, ‘The hundred thousand wiil never see light again, how. over, and the amount may at once be ch: to profit aod a Se much for bribery, corruption, pecalation and fraud. No aavicos have been received of the arrival of Gutierrez at the capital; but he has, doubtless, been in- sugurated President of the repubiic ere this.

The battalion Ayacucho was regularly besieged, without water or food; therefore the officer in command formed them into companies and made a successful sortie, driving the people from behind their barricades tnat they bad built in the streets, From that moment the people began to lose ieee! for their leaders left them and they did not ‘ght wel ether, n the bridge was where they made the most resist- ance, but at last, being out of ammunition and the or- ganized force against them being much superior, had to give in and let the others declare the was two in the afternoon when it was all 1@) wer A hour aiterwards the band of the ucho battalion went round the streets mg the “ of Triumph.” We have to lament aa immense number of upfortu- nates, for in a fight of over twenty hours it is easy to suppose that ‘oe would be a pit many kilied and wounded, among which ts the second commander of the Dattalion and pany an affair of two other officers, lore the disorders that always accom.

Mayor Gunther addressed a com- munication on this subject to your Board on April 4, 864, wherein, ref ig to the letéers received by him from three highly respectable firms, he says:— If the statements made in the documents to which I direct Jour stiention are true—and where oan be Ritie dout when ree respectable firms come forward and substantially agree—then it in clear, first, that the contract for the iron work was awarded without i julie notice or even au eh in tron ndiy, that f the par. ties to whom the con' far beyond those that a man of the meanest capacity wou ¢ allow 1p his business transactions.

The subsequent refusal by the Couvention to ad- ‘mit this delegation to seats, and the still more direct action of that body also refusing to reorganize as repub- licans the men composing the delegation, was consid- ered by many as anact of unnocessary harshness, cal- culated to irritate and provoke retaliation. Something like a great politicai mistake bad evidently Deen made, and, as Talleyrand has said, or been made te say, political misiakes are little better than political crimes, This imputed mis take on the part of the radicals was, of course, eagerly seized by a fow of the leading managers Of the late democratic Convention and turned, as their Proceedings show, to @ not unprofitable account. The Passage of the resolution of Mr. Green, of Niagara, with the amendment of Oakey Hall deciaring the Mozart orga- mization and its members to be sound democrats and of ‘unquestionable fidelity to the democratic party, and ten- dering to the delegates honorary seats in the Vonvention, as also to the German delegation then assembied in Albany, were the coups d’état from which great results were expected, It was considered that by this very clever piece of strategy, wnich is understood to have originated with Tweed and Sweeny, the embarrassments Of the radicals would be inereased, and that the general Private condemnation of the unwise conduct of the radi- cal Convention in the rejection of the conservative dele- Urgent appeals, assumed to be that from motives above all mere party considerations, found sympathetic listeners among many leading democrats, Bominations was made and that more thaa one of the solicitations of these to vete the ticket, Constitu' who 7mem who pledged class hs mh age 3 democrats there more of ac Lonorable entente cordiale, an understanding of mutual good will, than bas been known to exist for years, Arepublicip conservative from the St. Lawrence openly declared, constructing a new County Court House is supposed to be to accommodate public officers with facilities for the pees of faci business. It 18 true, as was Bai lupervisor wart six years ago, that “every day lost in the futshing of the bnilaing is an additional loss to the county and the public.”’ The days lost have now years.
