CENTRAL AND SOUTH AMERICA ANOTHER REVOLUTION IN PANAMA, President Ponce Deposed arid Banished. ‘The steamer Guiding Star, Captain Howes, from Aspinwall September 4, arrived at this port yester- day. She brings $522,000 in treasure. CENTRAL AMERICA. Affairs to Salvador, Guatemala and Hon- duras. By the Panama Railroad Company’s steamer Par- kersburg late dates have been received from Central America, Among the passengers are Sefior J. Voilo, late Secretary of State of Costa Rica and now spe- etal envoy to the United States and Europe, and Sefior J. M. Vela, Minister from Guatemala to the United States. GUATEMALA, Advices from the capital are to the léth inst. Guatemala at the present moment is full of visitors, this being the fair time of Jocotenango. The supply of cattle has been small, but better prices have been tained than last year. The weather could not een more propitious for the holiday makers, not a drop of rain having fallen since the 22d of July. Fears are entertained that this scarcity of rain will prejudice the next crops, and should this dryness continue we may look forward for worse times next ear than ao that have been experienced during e present, Notwithstanding the bad times the capital is being greatly improved; new houses, and many of them of construction, are being bulit in almost every rt. A day police in uniform has lately been intro- luced, and once Tuli eanuaned and organized, will be of great public utility. HALVADOR, Mr. Gerstenberg writes from London that he has concluded all the arrangements necessary for the es- tablishment of the Bank of Salvador, and has asked for an extension of six months on his original grant from the government to carry out his p! which has been ted. Sefior Poncio Darnaculleta has received a privilege from the government to import a thousand Chinese laborers into the republic. ‘The cases of fever are diminishing in number, but re more severe than at first, The epidemic has ap- peared in the departments of La Pas, Santa Ana and Sonsonate. El Constitucion says that the insalubrity of Salva- dor this year is owing to the se te 4 of the rainy season, and that the crops are also likely to suffer from the same cause. ‘The same paper speaks most favorably of the peace and prosperity of the country. Geor J.

Sonthern Ports to be Free—Railway Matters Reduction of the Army—President Balta and the Diplomatic Corpe—The Peravian Moni- tors. Lora, August 28, 1868, Congress is seriously engaged in discussing a pro- Ject to declare all the Southern ports free for the im- portation of provisions, clothing and the necessa- ries of life, for the next eighteen months, and the Dill will probably be adopted. ‘The ramors recently prevalent in Lima concerning the abrogation of Mr. Meiggs’ railway contract by Congress have been completely dispelled by a letter from President Balta to that gentleman. The Presi- Gent, after thanking Mr. Meiggsin the name of the mation for the gift of $50,000, made to the country in her hour of need, remarks that although he had not the satisfaction to inaugurate the labors on this important work, he hoped to witness their active Prosecution and rapid conclusion, as the existence “of the railway and the facilities afforded! by it would go far towards ensuring the re-building of the city «of Arequipa. The works have not been discontinued, and Mr. Me! with his engineers, are confident of the completion of the undertaking in less than two years from this date, A motion has been introduced in Congress duce the army to fifteen hundred men and to commence the prectice of strict economy in all the departinents of administration. The first may not be adopted, but the second will, whether passed oF not, be watchfully observed by the present Minis- ter of Finance, Mr. Garcia Calderon, who, together with the other members of the Cabinet, has given the most convincing proofs of his perfect capacity for his high office. The Ministers have labored day and night since the late terrible news reached us and the fruits of the'r labors are very satisfactorily apparent. On the 15th the diplomatic and consular corps resi- dent in Lima paid the official visit of congratulation to Colonel Balta, the constitutional President of the republic. The speeches made on that occasion by the Dean of the diplomatic corps and_ the President were much. of the usual style, but both were icularly explicit in the portion relating to the interests and ts of foreign- ers residing in this republic. Colonel Haita signified his intention and d to cause their its to be rigorously protected, but also expressed opinion regarding the necessity of a strict adherence to the laws and regulations of the country on the part of the persons mentioned. General Hovey, the Minister of the United States here, has recogni the con- stitutionality of the present government, and as- sisted, as the Spaniards say, at the ceremony. In fact, the ual administration has been chosen by the unanimous voice of the ple, and its acts, since the inanguration of the ident, have already made it very popu with the masses. It is understood that Colonel Halta ac- nee the justice of the claims for somes suffered by American citizens at the hands of his own troops during the struggle in the North in January last. The government, of course, only thinks now of alleviating the necessities of its unfortunate people and politics are forgotten for the time. By next mail fuller detalis will be forwarded; we are still in the dark about many of the occurrences. Your correspondent has learned that Colonel Wil- Nam D. Farrand, who recently arrtved here from New York on some very important business with this government ret ‘ting the Peruvian monitors now detained in the United States, has had se interviews with the members of Colonel a's Cabinet, and that his desires are in a fair way of realization. COLOMBIA. Avother Revolation in Panama—Corrcoso Supplants Ponce in the Executive Chair— Negotiations to be Opened for a Ship Ca- nal—Captain Delisser and the Earth kes. PANAMA, Sept. 4, 1868, Another revolution in Panama! Of course none of your readers will be astonished at such an occur- rence, it is growing so frequent now. As you might anticipate from my previous letters, the Ponce ad- ministration had a short life and a merry one, It lasted precisely eight weeks, when the gallant gen- eral and his batalion Santarden were ignominiously Kicked out of power by the batalion Panamd, under Geueral Correoso, on the morning of the 29th, his principal general, Mesa, several minor officers and fome thirty of his men taken prisoners and the entire batch shipped off to Carthagena by the Steamer of the 2d inst. On the 28th Ponce and Mesa took @ pleasure trip to Aspinwall, and on the morn- ing of the 29th Correoso, during their absence, had an attack made on the barrack. The guard; and afterwards the other soldiers, were disarmed and the militia installed in their stead, There was little show of resistance, ex- eept by a Captain Mesa, who was shot dead by a mu- latto officer named Alspuru, opposite the barracks. Several shots were fired by the militia gnard and a couple of innocent persons were slightly wounded. A cottage belonging to Mr. Boyd, editor of the star and Herald, was literally riddied with bullets, seve- rai of which also entered the adjoining houses, through the reckJess manner in which the shots were fired. On the return of Ponce and Mesa to Panama the latter was immediately arrested, and the rormer, though he issued @ proclamation saying the’ affair ly & row among his officers, gesigned his porition as Provincial President the same evening, ‘and issued another document the next day saying he ‘was forced to do so, owing to the occurrences Of the previous day. His resignation was at once accepted and General Correoso installed as Provis- tonal President. The latter at once formed anew administration, selected from his friends outside the walls, and the gentiemen of color who have so many years been fighting for the ascendancy have at length seen their wishes gratified. Ponce is anathematized by ail parties for the miserable, cow- arly part he has acted throughont, leaving the country in a greater state of misery and oa than it was ever in before. Panama ie well id of him and his followers, but it is Probable the present administration wil have po SHEET. bette success tn holding itself in power than its pre? ~ “owever, it is impossible to speculate On resulta. One thing is certain, we cannot reach a ® ach lower depth of destitution and political degra- ¢ ation than we have already got to without becom- as bad as St. Domingo. It is supposed, as soon as the news o: Ponce's overthrow reaches the inte- rior departments, there will be another uprising throughout the State, as several parties are alreaay at work wirepulling to bring about such an object. General Acosta went to the United States oa the Ocean Queen, as agent for the general government, to enter into negotiat’ons at Washington in regard to the canal scheme across the Isthmus, mentioned in & prevtous letter—or rather to conciude the arrangements made at Bogota by Minister Sullivan, who is shortly expected here. It might be wisdom on the part of the United States to flud out how the Isthmus is to be governed in futuref and by whom, before it undertakes to invest fifteen or twen- ty millions of dollars in building @ canal here. There appears to be some prospect of the North American Steamship Company entering into a con- tract with the colonial government of Jamaica to have their steamers touch at Kingston every trip on their way between Aspinwall and New York. Propo- sitions to this effect were made by Mr. Webb’s agent, Mr. Fitzgerald, to the Colonial government through Captain Delliser, when these gentlemen met here a couple of weeks ago. Speaking of Capiain Delliser, he is the celebrated — earthquake proaposticnsor at Jamaica, who foretold the st. omas calamity, and recently in this city pre- dicted the terrible disasters on the coast. He does not pretend to any supernatural agency in the mat- ter, but draws his conclusions from certain physical changes in the relative positions of the earth and moon or something of the sort that I know nothing about, but take for granted to be all rigit. The Cap- tain is known to the scientific world as an astrono- mer. He ts, I believe, looking forward to something Wonderful about October next. No ice ship has made its Sopenaame yet, but we have news of the one that left Boston on the 20th of June being ashore at Turks’ Island. Even if she had reached Aspinwall it is time another vessel had ar- rived. The Boston Ice Company is a slow coach and displays very little Down East enterprise. If it can- not do better it will do well to withdraw from the market and let some smarter folks take hold of the usiness. RELIGIOUS INTELLIGENCE. The Good Work Goes Bravely On. We are in receipt of gratifying intelligence from all parts of the country relative to the progress of Christianity. An impulse has also been given to Ju- daism, and we have to record the dedication of seve- Tal splendid synagogues, particularly that of Temple Emmanuel, on Fifth avenue, in this city; that of Adas Israel, in Louisville, and others, There seems to exist an actual rivalry between the different pious sects as to which shall erect the most gorgeous edi- fices in which to honor and worship the Creator, The troubles in the Protestant Episcopal Church and the schismatic bearings of some of the questions at issue, it is true, are not calculated to strengthen the Protestant branch of the great Christian family; but what is lost there is gained by the Catholic Church; or failing there, the portals of the Americanized Hebrew temples are open to those who wish to par- ticipate in the exercises of the old style religion of Israel, adapted to this age of progress. Besides these avenues open to those who seck salvation there are many others, including that by way of Salt Lake City, which can be taken by those who think they can stand the pressure of the sisterhood across the plains to the banks of the river Jor- dan, Speaking of church edifices, how- ever, the largest numbers of the devout have during the past few weeks been worshipping in tem- ples grander than those erected by human hands. ‘We mean those of our Christian fellow citizens who have gathered themselves together in immense camp meetings, and, taking the velvet carpet of nature to kneel upon, with the tall trees as the pil- lars and the vault of heaven asthe dome of their sanctuary, have avowed their transgressions and prayed for divine clemency and forgiveness. Here was pure and undefiled religion, and no doubt the incense that arose therefrom was as sweet and grate- fulto the great Above as if it had arisen from the gilded altars of the stained glass fashionable re- ligious palaces of the opulent and worldly minded among us, The seeds of grace, fruitful of a blessed harvest, have lately been planted in such ungodly localities as Johnny Allen’s and Tommy (alias Shanghae) Hadden’s dance houses, and in what is profanely called Kit Burns’ cockpit, in a section of the city reeking in wickedness and uncleanliness, termed Water street. As the unfortunate creatures who hive in these dens of pollution are far down in the cockpit of perdition, it will require but a slight effort to send them headlong into the lake of ever- burning sulphur—ten times hotter than any of brother Shanghae’s red hot tanglefoot—and after a souse or two therein their souls may be restored to something like human whiteness. Then let them bé Dleacned on a bed of repentance and abstinence from whiskey for six months and the work of grace may be complete. In order to do this successfully it will be necessary to raise a small amount of stamps, and those who feel so Inclined may to-day drop a few dimes into the contribution boxes at either of the above hitherto well known resorts of the sinfu) and vicious. The Brooklyn Churches. The season of pastoral vacation having drawn to close among the major portion of the various de- nominations of the City of Churches, whose church edifices have either been closed during the summer retreat of the pastor, or his plaee has been supplied by some neighboring clergyman, the religious of the several flocks are again to be gathered to the fold under the guidance of their chosen shepherd, and to-day the familiar voice of the pastor will fall har- moniously upon the ear of the devotee inspired with fresh ideas, and giving increased vigor to their coun- sellings, and telling of the pious thoughts engendered while reviewing the beauties of nature during their rambles among the green pasturages of the New England States, or while participating in the quiet, rational amusements of the sea shore or partaking of the waters of the health giving springs. Many clergymen have prolonged their stay, and will not officiate for a week or two yet. During the holidays the sextons and trustees have not been idle, and the buey ham of the mechanic has re- sounded within the precincts of many of these vulidings, adding either to the ornamental or useful aspect thereof. Below will be found a brief abstract showing what hag been accomplished among a few of the leading charches of Brooklyn during the sommer:— REY, DR. R. & STORRS’ CHURCH OF THE PILGRIMS, The Congregationalist Church of the Pilgrims, cor- ner of Henry and Remsen streets, on the Heights, in which Rev. Dr# R. 8, Storrs presides, has been closed for the annual vacation term since July 12. The pas- tor meanwhile has been rusticating at North Conway, N. H., from which pleasant retreat he will merge into the duties of his oMce in the pulpit of the Pil- grims to-day, by which time it ts probable the fash- fonables of his flock will have returned from their respective places of summer exile. There have been no repairs on the edifice this year, though it ts con- templated to enlarge the building next season by taking in the hall now occupied as a lecture room, and putting up an extension to supply the place of the latter. REV. HENRY WARD BEECHER’S PLYMOUTH CHURCH. Since Plymouth church closed for vacation on the 0th of July it has undergone a very general cleans- ing and rejuvenation under the hands of the painter and upholsterer, The walls have been kalsomined, the pews and wood work throughout have all been painted with bright colors, in which are blended rose, y and ae tints. ay Bana on ioe ngrain carpet, with green grown een laid an covers the oor of the building.

There has been service at this chureh al! the summer, the Rev. Messrs. Sprague and Clapp officiating in the absence of the Doctor. The exterior and spire of the build- ing have been painted, while the lecture room of the edifice 1s now being handsomely frescoed. | ‘The in- terior of the church presents a pleasing effect, the colors being light and radiable, though it has not been renovated for the past three years. It reflects credit upon the care aud taste bestowed upon the order of things by the sexton, Mr. McDonald. REV. H. M. STORRS’ SOUTH CONGREGATIONALIST CHURCH. The South Congregationalist church, situated on the corner of Court and President streets, which has hot been open for service since the last Sabbath in July, was thrown open last Sunday, when the usual services were held. he Rev. H. M. Storrs, the pastor, has been enjoying himself in the far West among the Rocky Mountains. He has been out to the terminus of the Pacific railroad, where he claims the honor of having driven the last spike tn the rail. Mr. Storrs has been down East for @ few days since his return from the West, but will, it is expected, occupy his place in the pulpit at home this morning. REV. HENRY J. VAN DYCK’S OLD SCHOOL PRESBY- TERIAN CHURCH. ‘The First Presbyterian church, corner of Remsen and Clinton streets, of which Rev, Henry J. Van Dyke 1s pastor, has been undergoing extensive repairs in- terlorly since last June. ‘The old pews have all been taken out and are to be replaced by more commodious and handsomer seats. The organ lery has been improved, and the vestibule aigo been more advantageously altered, Stained glass Windows will replace those formerly in use, while the ceiling, walls and chancel frescoed and kalsomined, so as to give more bright and cheerful effect than the darker hut of decoration lent the interior of the building. This church will scarcely be in readiness for occupancy before the first or second Sunaay in October. REV. H. M. GALLAHER'S FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH. The Rev. H. M. Gallaher, who has been sojourning at his country seat in Essex county, Conn., for the past five weeks, has ed fifty pounds in weight, and thus recuperated ascended the pulpit to greet his col tion at the First Baptist church, Nassau street, near Fulton, at the services held there on the last Sabbath.

The congregation of St. Charles Borromeo have been ee divine service at their improvised chapel in Continental Hall, Washington street, ever since the destruction of their edifice by fire in April last, Work is progressing so rapidly, however, on the new church in course of erection on Livingston street, under the nd thru the of the zealous pastor, Rev. Dr. Freil, and through the generous contribu- tions of the faithful of the Catholic community as to give promise of its early completion. Indeed, it is thought probable that their new church, which is a fina brick building, will be ready for consecration about the early part of November next. Dr. Freil has not been absent from town this season. Churches Dedicated. Seven Methodist houses of worship have been lately dedicated, At Newcastle, in this State, the Methodist society have long needed a new edifice. ‘With some dimculty and delay a satisfactory site was secured and a@ large building has just been com- pleted, the cost of lot and edifice being $25,000. At Mount Kisco, thirty-five miles from this city, a large house of worship has just been built at a cost of $26,000. Bishop Janes conducted the dedicatory service week before last. At Croton Circuit and West Concord, in this State, at Summit, N. J., and Springfleld Circuit, Tl, small church edifices have been erected and dedicated by Methodist societies, and a new African Methodist Episcopal church was consecrated last month in Rochester, Pa. A large house of worship was dedicated on the 234 ult. by the Baptist ort in Janesville, Wis. Near the carshops at Rock Island, Il., a little south of the ‘se Og Sunday school was lately organized through the labors of Rev. Z.

The young men for their strength are called to the Episcopate, and will doubtiess learn expe- rience in this high office. Experience is costly, and the diocese will of course help pay. Charles Frank- lin Robertson is a presbyter, now rector of a church in Batavia, Western New York. He is @ native of New York city, born here of German stock in Marcn, 1855, and therefore in his thirty-fourth year. He was a clerk in a mercantile honse, and became a commu- nicant in St. George's parish, under the Rev. Dr. Tyng. He isa sound churchman, full of sympathy for zeal and earnestness wherever mantfested. He was graduated at Yale in 1869, and at the General The- ological Seminary tn 1862, His firat parish was Ma- Jone, in New York, near the Canada boundary. He went there in the autumn of 1862 and remained unti!

If he continue tn the Episcopate the course already pursued he will acknowledge all the good he sees in others, while he wil! point out and lead towards the more excellent way. He will probably accept.” Presbyterianism and Congregationaliam. The following table gives the relative membership of the Old School and New School Presbyterian and the Congregational denominations in the more Northern States, New England is omitted, as there are scarce a dozen Presbyterian churches in those States connected with these two branches of the order, and the Southern States are omitted as Pres- byterianism there is not yet reconstricted and Con- tionalism is yet feeble.

Thus the additions of winter are not reported in their case. So those churches which, like Dr. Holbrook’s church of five hundred and sixty members, at Homer, N.

Stuart, Eeq., expressing the “sary rise and dumb amazement’ with which he heard of bit suspension, aod assuring | NEW YORK HERALD, SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1868—TRIPLE him of his entire confidence and sympathy. After expressing himself heartily in favor of singing hymns in the worship of God, he adds:—‘Such are briefly my own views on the subject; and rather than abandon them I would cheerfully stand by your side and be rebuked by any or all of the ecclesiastical couclaves of Christendom.” He says:— A church or ecclesiastical body may prohibit hymns from being sung; but such prohibition is not wise. So long as men’s souls are spiritually languid it does not signify much; they will not trouble themselves much about the singing of psalms or hymns, or sing- iug anything at all, But iet the fountains of the great decp of old Nature be broken up in men’s souls, a3 under the earthquake heavings of a mighty re- vival, and the spiritual instincts, let loose and inten- sified, will find for themselves veut in sacred song, and cannot be restricted to Old Testament Psalms, however incalculably precious in their own place, Under the flow and current of spiritual energy, tne prose of Scripture will often be used as a chant; prayer Will often become a sort of chant, the glow and fervor of inward feeling diffusing a radiance over all Surrounding objects, and the visible manifestations of grace in the awakened and converted—all, all will be turned into matter—often it may be extempora- neousiy—of sacred song. Under the stir and gush of spiritual movement and excitement, let a hymnist only strike up such a simple ode, with accompany- ing tune, as that which begins with the familiar words, “Nearer, my God, to Thee,’’ and I venture to say that the stiffest, the sternest, and the most ex- clusive Psalmist would, in spite of himself, his pref- erences and antecedent convictions, be carried along with the tide of “grave, sweet melody,” and almost unconsctously cotnribute his own quota to Swell the stream, Adns Isracl—The New Jewish Temple in Loulsville, Ky. ‘The Louisville Journal of the 6th instant contains seven and @half columns of a report of the dedica- tion of the new temple of the congregation Adas Is- Yael, located corner of Sixth street and Broadway, in that city.

He was secreted in the Hold in & cleared space left in immediate proximity to the boiler, so c1ose, in fact, as to render it a inatter of some wonder how he endured the intense heat. When taken charge of by the officer and vrought to headquarters he stated that he was going to ireland to see his godfather; and in answer to an interroga- tory as to what he had done with the money he took with him, replied that he had purchased clothes with 4c, which was found to be the case. His father was telegraphed to come on and take charge of him.

Obtaining the assistance of officer Woodruff, the two reconnoitred the premises and finally came upon two men in the act of secreting themselves.

This almost murderous as- sault is greatly aggravated by the fact that the beaten woman was at the time in such @ condition of health that she may not recover, This, in effect, is testified to by the physician that attended her. Justice Ledwith had but little e nisseration with this hnman brate and at once remanded him to await the injuries of Mra. Thomas.
