We extract the following account of affairs In
Central and South America Ironi the correspond
ence ol the New York Tribune:
COLOMBIA.
Quiet Restored Flxtaaclat Difficulties
Depression of Ysjtde .fear of m, New
Uevolutloa.
Panama, Aug 3. Quiet has been completely
restored throughout the rjtat Ihe steamer
Montijo Bulled hence on the evenloir of the 1st
inst. lor Iona, where sue will take General
Ponce and the troops under his command on
board, and convey them to Cbirlqui to subjugate
that department, and carry out the same pro-
firnmme enacted in ihe ottier departments ol the
ntcrior.
fcihe is expected to return to this port on the
10th Inctant with General Ponce aud his forces,
provided no opposition is met with from the
Chiricanos, which I think Is hardly to be ex
pected now. The Provisional Government found
jireat dtflieulty to raise tbe money to pay the
owners ot the Montijo the amount of hercuarter
mouey, the latter very properly refusing to credit
the newly constituted authorities. The expenses
already Incurred by the Government In the last
revolution are very heavy, aud there is natu
rally no money in the- exchequer. The loans
and advances made by the merchants have
been Inadequate to meet the extraordinary ex
penses incurred by the late ievolution. It
was fully three days bcloro enough money
could be raised to pay for the chartering ol the
steamer, and the authorith-s were at last com
pelled to lall back upon the time-honored cus
torn ot boirowiug Irom the merchants, In the
present instance almost ail the leadnig houses
have paid their taxes in advance , up to next
December. What new dodge will be devised to
get money when more is wanted, is not yet
appaient; but it will be difficult to obtain it
utiles refuge is taken to forced loans, the ltst
but almost enectual resort to fill an empty
treasury. We are already beginning to reap
some ot the fruits of revolution; business is
staanated and lilcles?, all commercial transac
tions with the interior are nearly suspended,
confidence Is sunken, and merchants and busi
ness men are loudly complaiuing of the injury
done by the last revolution.
Panama, Aug. 4. We are, it seems, to have
more trouble. News reached here to-day from
the interior that General Ponce and General
Meza have had a quarrel and the latter impri
soned. The natuio of their quarrel, whether
pertonal or from political motives, has not yet
become sufficiently known: but there is every
reason to beiievo that Meza will overthrow
Ponce and set up a government of his own.
General CorreoFO, one of the political pests of
Panama, will hold on to the militia, as 1 In
formed you yesterday, and will not permit
General Ponce to disband tbem. No doubt
C'orieoso and Meza will join together, and in
that case we shall have plenty of trouble and
more hard times. It will at any rate be safe
to predict that this l6lhmus will not long
remain quiet. The men who headed and
BiirccBslully carried out the last revolution
are men of influence and are no re
specters of the laws aud it would be folly to
suppose that tbev will favor any peacetul means,
in carrying out their schemes of personal ag
grandizement. In the meantime the foreigners
are the real sufferers; they have the largest in
terests here, and they are the first to sutler the
bnd effects brought anout by revolutions and
political unquiet. It is rumored that the con
servatives in the ioterior are preparing lo effect
a counter-revolution, and arms and ammunition
are being secretly conveyed thither, so you may
rest assured that there is yet trouble In store
lor us. Why dou't the United" States Govern
ment put an end to these oft-recurring troubles?
They tend to embarrasi the transit, endanger
l.fe and property and jeopardize the interests
of all parties both native and loreign. It is cer
tain that under the present order of things we
shall never have peace.
PERU.
Skiairal of Marshal Castllla-Arrival of
linmUrakti- A IIiniM Act of tUe
Uoviramiit-Tbl Arequipa Mallroad.
Lima, July 28. Matters in Arequipa look
cv ry day more threatening to the peace ol the
country. The Government minister has directed
a note to the Prefect of that department, in
which he is warned not to countenance any
revolutionary design?, but nso lorce to check at
once any ana every disloyal act. On tho 23d
inst. the funeral of the Grand Marshal liamon
Castilla terminated. The remains, after the
perfora.ance ot high mass, were taken from the
Cathedral and placed in the vault specially pre
pared by order of the Government. It is pro
posed at some future day to make this mauso
leum to correspand with that which contains
the remains ot Napoleon I in the Hotel des In
valides in Parti".
On the 22d 309 German colonists arrived at
Callao. Their destination is the province of
Puzazo, in pursuance of the contract made by
the Peruvian Government with Messrs. Bcollard
and Martin. , . . . . , .
The Ministro de bientficiencta has ordered that
all Chinese invalids and cooties in reduced cir
cumstances tound begging in the streets, be
conveyed to the Government hospital. This is
a humane act In view of the rapid increase of
the number of these unfortunates from year to
year. As long as they remain In health they
can obtain employment, though at extreme low
rates, but when diseased or crippled In the ser
vice of their hard masters, they are thrown
upon the world without the sliehtest commise
ration. The French isociete de Etenfaisance has
established a hospital in this city, Intended for
those whose means will not permit them to pro
cure medical aid. Great good will flow from
Buch an institution to the poor and needy of this
cit v
The Arequipa Railroad Is progressing favor
ably. Every steamer from tho South brings u
complement of 260 to 300 laborers. Colonel
liiceo Maslas has been named by the Govern
ment as superintendent of the working of the
road. It is reported that a few skirmishes
have taken place between the workmen from
Chili and the Peruvians employed on the road,
and that many cases of robbery have occurred.
Mr. Patricio Gibaou has been named Consul to
Liverpool for this Government. Mr. Gibson, I
am Inlormed, goes on to Liverpool to make pur-
-i t n,nt,rlul in, tho Amminn Railroad.
The disembarkation o'. ihe twelve cannon

Cobta Rica Government, the contract, as your
Traders will remember, having been declared
sull and void by the latter.. Th Company are
desirous of going on with the work, but they
re prevettd by the Government hence the
claim. Mr. Lyman ltejnolds had arrived at 6m
Jose de Costa Rica, and was to begin to bulla
the ttleeraph line from Punta Arenas, on the
Pacific, to the capital, at ouce.
As all tbe material for the work Is already on
the pot, it is estimated that tbe line will be
finished by the 1st of next November. As toon
as tbe Cuba cable will connect with Aspinwell,
the Government will continue the line to the
Atlantic side, and connect with the cable, so
that this republic will be in direct communica
tion with tne world. The new telegraoh line
from Amatitlan to the city of Guatemala is now
in perfect working order.
The treaty concluded between theNlc&ragnan
Government and the United States on the 21st
of June, has been ratified by the Congress
of tbe former Government, anl is now the law
of the land.
Quiet prevails throughout tho Central Ameri
can States.
WEST INDIES.
Later BUw by gtttmtr.
By the arrival at New York of the steimhlp
Columbia, we have the following advices from
the West Indies:
JJAYTI.
Thi Brigands Arnlsr for Battle.
From the Jndependance of Jacmel, of the 14th
of July, we quote the following:
"For the last two days tbe brigade who infested
tho neighborhood have assembled at a given
point, provided with ammunitions of war. Yes
terday, at 11 o'clock A. M., Gen. Verne-et, whose
valor is well known, left the city at the head of
a detachment. Attcrau hour's inarch the troops
reached the neighborhood of Gaste and lion
bain. There they met the enemy, superior
in numbers, and strongly entrenched. The
combat was protracted and bloody. In about
an hour's time our ammunition failed us, and
the General gave an order to retreat. J. Domi
nique, however, charged and carried the en
trenchments at the head of fifteen brave Jacme
lians, and took from the enemy arms and am
munition. General J. P. Hector, who had rej
turned to Jacmel for the purpose of protecting
tbat place from tbe attacks of the Piquets, had
issued a decree proclaiming Thomas Christ! an
outlaw, and offering 5000 Haytien dollars
reward for bis head. Thomas Cbrlsti is at the
head of the Piquets, a lawless set, represented
as proclaiming no political principle whatever,
but whose object is taid to be robbery and as
sassination. An attack had been made by the Dominlcins
on tbe territory of Haytl. Les Anses a Petre
bad been taken, General Toussaint lfoyer and
his son murdered, Gland Gosier sacked, and
Saltrou burned down.
The traitor Baez, President of St. Domingo,
after negotiating the sale of a portion of the
territory of St. Domingo, wishes to encroach on
our frontiers, but we shall soon show these
monsters that we prefer to make the sacrifice of
our liberty before submitting ourselves and our
families to their outrages.
An Official VHU by the America
Minister.
The latest accounts furnish tho following
through a correspondent:
"Mr. Hollibter, the American Charged1 Affaires,
at Port-au-Prince, after having obliged tbe
Haytieus who had taken refuge under his fl ip,
to leave the Consulate on June 20, took his de
parture on the Penobscot for Gonaives on an
oflicial visit. On his arrival there he was
received by iVtctoriu Chevalier, Salnave's
General with unusual honors, a snlute being
fired from the forts of the town. Mr. Holhster,
in company with Victorin Chevalier visited the
forts of tbe town and dined with Victoria, tbe
American flae flvin? duriner tbe whole time.
The next morning Mr. Ilollister left Gonaives
and proceeded to Mole St. Nicholas, which place,
it is openly asserted, he designs maklug the
headquarters of the United States in the West
indies.
The revolution must and will succeed, muni
tions of all sorts having been provided to tho
army of 4000 men before Port-au-Prluce. No
mercy, writes the General-in-Uhicf, will be
bown to tne murderers who attempted to assas
mate Gefirard and his family on tho 23d of
February. 1868.
Later news from Jacmel, dated July 24, gives
us intelligence of moment. .
BT. DOMINGO.
Vbo Coulry lm a State of Revolution,
The Gleaner, ol July 24, publishes the follow
ing:
'The news from Sf. Domingo is to the 10th
inst. Tbat country is now in a complete state
ot revolution. At various points strong forces
unper well accredited cniers, are garnered tor
tho purpose of overthrowing the Gov
ernment. In a central position stands Gene
eral Manzueta, In command of a column;
be: is one of the most implacable enemies of
President Baez. On the froutiers of the South,
General Ogando Moreno and others have risen.
On the frontiers of the North, General Polanco
had also taken up arms. There is no doubt tbat
Baez will fall very soon, for publio opinion is
very unlavorable to him, and lie is detested on
acconnt of his desire to sell the country to the
Spaniards or Americans. A general revolution
Is lmmineit,(and it is veryprobablethat General
Luperon, who is tne cntei or tne present move
ment in tbe Dominican Republic, will assume
the power. General Luperon is now lathis
city (Kingston) on his way to St. Domingo,
axtenaca oy some oi ma irieuua."
' JAMAICA.
Dates from Kingston are to July 24. The
health ot the island was good. W. M. Anderson,
H-q . the immigration Aeent-Heneral in the
island, had left here for England in the last
packet, en roule for India, where he win act as
Immigration Agent for this island. Hitherto
planters naa comptainea very mucn oi tne ciass
of coolies sent them, and hence the necessity
for Mr. Anderson's presence 1u India, where he
will be able to select such laborers as are really
adapted to the work to be performed. It is
said he will be so engaged for at least three
j cars.
LUNACY.
Aaotber fvueetloaable Case-A Mother
Struggil'S" fr her umia.
The Question of insanity is again before the
New York courts. The case is thus reported in
the limes:
Tbe relator, John Easier, obtained a writ of
habeas corpus for the purpose of getting the
custody of a child aged 2 years and 9 months,
named George Hasler. The facts of tbe case, as
thus far divulged on the investigation, are as
follows: John A. Hasler anl Kliza, tbe respond
ent beretn, were for several years husband and
wife, and so far as tbe public have a right to
know anything about their domestic affairs,
they Uvea together verj happily until Borne tlmi
in the beginning of thejear 1867. The record
shows that in March of that year the husband
became satisfied tbat bis wife was a lunatic or
at leabt that she had spells ot lunacy and acting
under the belief that she was utterly unfit to
have the charge of a family and to direct tbe
aflalra of a household, he took such steps as
caused her, the wile and mother, to be impri
soned in a lunatio asylum from March to De
cember of last year, when she, after much exer
tion, and through the intervention of a brother,
was released.
On the side of tbe respondent It is insisted
that she never was Insane; tbat the wife of John
August Hasler was deprived ot her liberty be
cause it was the policy ot Mr. Hasler to send
out his lawful wife and the mother of his child
from bis bouse, so that he might do wbat be
leased with bis housekeeper a woman named
oulsa Zohn. The wife sajs tbe petitioner never
was a good husband, whatever he may have been
as a father, etc. Aflidavlts were read to the effect
that Mrs. Hasler had commenced a suit for di
vorce against her husband, charging him with
having committed adultery wUb IcuUaZotia,
It appears from the papers that Louisa often suf
ferf u herself to be addressed, by servants and
others, as Mrs. Hasler. and this during tbe time
when every person connected with the family,
and all the friends of the same, knew that the
proper Mrs. Hasler was In the lunatic as jlura.
The traverse to the writ having been entered,
the petitioner answered by denying each and
every allegation. The Judge said there was a
olstiDct Issue of the fact, which must be tried
before the court. One of the counsel suggested
a reference, whereupon the Judge said: "No,
there can be no reference In cases of this kind;
this issue must be heard In open court."
Tbe further hearing was then adjourned until
Tuesday next, at 11 A. M.
TEXAS.
Oflicial Report of tho Mlllleaa Riot.
From the oflicial report submitted to the
Asustant AJjutaut General of the Twentieth
Sub-District of Texas, we glean tho following
facts re'atlve to the Millicao riot.
Stime time in June lat about fifteen men
dressed and known as Ku-Klur, attempted to
frighten the Ireedmen by marching through
their village. The ireedmen rallied and fired
into the Ku-Klux's, who quickly dispersed,
leaving their arms, clothing, etc. This excited
the freedmen, and learlug tbat the whites would
revenge themselves, they (the Ireedmen) armed
and commenced drilling, and forming a military
organization, which excited the tears of tbe
whites, wbo requested me to stop the carrying
of arms by the ireedmen. 1 informed them that
as soon as they (the whites) would put a stop
to the incursions of the itu-Klux's, I would
prevent the freedmen from drilling, etc. This
was agreed to, and I Issued an order "that no
armed band, organization, or secret society not
authorized by law" would be permitted. This
quieted whites aud blacks, aud nothing occurred
until the unfortunate occurrence of tbe 15ih,
which, from the best inlormation I can glean, is
as follows:
A treed man, named Miles Brown, was sup-
Fosrd to have been hung. Brooks directed
larry Thomas to raise sufficient mn to hunt
his body. Harry collected about thirty men
aud marched them through town in military
order. This was sufficient to cause uneasiness
among the white?. Harry proceeded to the
Brazos river bottom, and was i lined by about
twenty more men in going to the place where It
was supposed they would find the treedman. On
the way they met one Andrew Halliday, who
bad some words with a lreeJman, Robert. (It
was rumored, and was supposed by the freed
men. that Halllday had murdered tbe frcedaian
Miles.) H alii day sent information to the town
that the party of freedmen had surrounded his
house and were threatening to hung him, where
upon about thirty whiten armed themselves and
went to his assi-tance. The Deputy Sheriff fear
ing trouble, summoned more men, followed
aud overtaking tbe whites, took charge, etc.
As the whites made a turn in the road, they
found themselves luce to face with the blacks,
and while the Mayor and the Deputy Sheriff
were talking to the freedmen, some one fired a
musket; the whites say tbe first fire was Iron
the freedmen, but I believe that Hallidiy gave
tbe first tire. This is the evidence of a freedman
who was wounded, but has not been substan
tiated by further testimony. At this a general
fire commenced from the whites, the blacks
disperMug and running In every direction. The
parties then returned to town, aud I am in
formed by the Mayor that he Bnd others repaired
to tbe freedmcn's village and had an interview
with Brooks, who claimed lb -it his men bad been
killed, and would not agree to any terms of peace.
Thiscaueed intense excitement in town, and was
tbe ioundation.of hundreds of foolish rumors
about the organization ot tbe black?, as above
mentioned. There has becu for sumo time past a
great antipathy against this freedmnn. Brooks,
by the white population, aud accusations of a
erave character have been made against him.
This I believe is mere prejudice, and cannot bo
sustained by facts. The number killed and
wounded is as lollows: Harry Thomas, c. m.,
the leader ot the freedmen; Moses Hardy, c. m. ;
King Holiday, r. m., wounded on the 17th; Dan
Zepber, c. m., killed on Thursday, the .10th;
Georce B. Brooks, c. m., preacher, supposed to
have been killed on the 18 b. Wounded Mac
Moore, c. m., shot through light shoulder.
slight wound, and Robert , c. m., wounded
and missing. Making in all, five killed and one
wounded, and one wounded and missing. I am
of opinton tbat there was no just cause for
tbe above-mentioned riot; tbat it was founded
and based upon the excitability of the people,
and aggravated by foolish rumors afloat in the
vicinity.
Oatragee lay tho Iadlaas.
The San Antonio (Texas) Express of July 29
says: "Tbe train of Dr. Ditlenderfer, which
arrived from SI Paso on Monday, accompanied
by three wagons belonging to Thomas Alien, ot
Ban Elizarto, was attacked by Apaches at the
first camp on the Pecos river, on the road to
this place, on the 16th instant, at abont 1
o'clock in the afternoon, while encamped; the
mules being about one hundred yards from the
wagons, the Indians suddenly made a dasnout
from an Arroyo In the rear of the train. One
of the herders had previously observed an
Indian sneaking up behind a bush and fired
at him: upon this alarm being given, tbe
mounted Indians made the charge. Mr. Sutton
of Diffenderfer's train, and Mr. Allen were first
on the ground with their rifles; the teamsters
soon followed, and a general charge was made;
the Indians finding themelves foiled, suddenly
turned and precipitately fled. They were fan
cifully dressed and painted, their hair tied up
la red flannel, or some other similar material.
But for the promptness of tbe defense tbe whole
herd would have undoubtedly been captured.
This attack proves conclusively tbat the road to
El Paso Is not as safe as is generally Imagined.
IMPORTANT ARREST.
A Cnaaiag False Fretaader la C a tod jr.
The New York World of this morning says:
"Detective Barker, of the Fifteenth Precinct
Police, arrived in this city yesterday afternoon,
having in custody Moses E. Ludington, whom
he had arrested In Chicago, on charges of fraod.
It Is alleged that some months ago Ludington
came to this city, aud by means of his respect
able and good busluess tact succeeded in obtain
ing from wholesale merchants in this city over
$70,000 worth of goods of various descriptions,
and which were by his order shipped to his
address In Chicago. Ludington had obtained
from Hull, Inglcsor. & Co., of No. 62 Walker
street, $6000 worth of good", and the firm
received information that Ludington was en
gaged in somewhat peculiar transactions. It
appears that the goods were received at hli
store in Chicago at the front door, and during
the night removed by the rear door to an auction
store, where thev were sold at a ruinous sacri
fice. Not relishing these vagaries, the firm of
Hon, lngieson a co., maae a complaint ot rrauo
against Ludingtou. A requisition was obtained
from Governor Feuton, ol this Slate, on Gov
ernor Onlesby, ot Illinois, asking for the arrest
auu rendition oi tne accused. Ajmea wun mis
document Detective Barker proceeded to Chi
cugo, and, otter a protracted search, found and
arrested Ludington. Tbe Utter claimed lo be
under arrest bv tbe United States Marshal
under the Bankruptcy act, but as the detec
tive found him tree ot ail restraint, be took
charge of Litn. He disclaimed all intention
of deslrine to defraud his creditors, bnt stated
that he had lost all his money playing "poker.'
During the trip trom Chicago ijuoingtoo maae a
desperate attempt to escape irora nis captor.
When the train was nearinar Toledo, Ohio.
going at tbe rate of thirty miles per hour, the
prisouer professed to desire to enter the private
room of tbe car, and the detective permitted him
to ao so, but as a precautionary measure sta
tioned himself on the rear Dlttform of the car.
He had not been there many minutes, when he
perceived Ludlnerton crowdlnor through tbe win
dow with the evident intent of jumping from
the train. Barker at onoa drew his revolver.
and threatened to shoot him, whereupon the
prisoner drew In bis head and accepted the
situation.

The chairmen of the various county commit
tees are also to assemble for the purpose of con
sulting and perfecting their local organizations.
The Slate Committee will decide upon the time
and place for holding the next State Convention.
Tbe attendance of tne Democratic representa
tive men is large. All sections of the State are
represented. New Y ork city is represented hero
in good force, and deeply interested in the sub
ject of the nomination lor Governor. Whi'e
fweede, Sweeney. Fields, and others declare
that New York will send up a united delegation
for Hoffman, Supervisor Fox and others are
favoring Henry C. Murphy.
The teeling here is unmistakably for Hoffman,
who, it Is agreed, is not only tho strongest man,
but most entitled to tbe nomination. There are
outside influences In his favor, prominent among
which is an appeal of the Germans in bis behalf,
who say bis Domination will strengthen tho
Democracy outside of tho State as woll as Inside.
Tbe Bute Convention will be held on the 31
or lOlh of September, and will probably be
Culled In Albany, though Syracuse, through
General Green, asain asks tor it. Tue assembled
politicians are in lively consultation this even
ing, and the Butterfield Hotel presents an ani
mated scene. There is much enthusiasm and
confidence, and the campaign Is evidently to be
fought with vigor and determination. Many
have embraced the occasion to pay their respects
to Governor Seymour, who is in excellent
health and spirits, and who has received his
political friends both at his headquarters, the
Butterfield House, aud at his farm at Deerdcld.

Shocking Murder In New, Jersey.
The New Yprk Te'fgram, of yesterday, says!
On Monday a murder occurred at a place
known as Shark Uiver, in Ocean county, N. J.,
dintaut about six miles from Long Branch. The
particulars are briefly as follows: For some
time past an intimacy is said to have existed
between the wile of Hartson Fleming, the mur
dered man, and William Woolley, all residents
of the vicinity. Ou Monday last, whilo Woolley
was on a visit to ihe bouse, he had a quarrel
with Fleming's wife and used many opproblous
epithets towards her. Flemiug interfered to
protect his spouse, and ejected her assailant.
Woolley then went home, loaded a musket with
a double charge of buckshot, and returning,
walked up to Fleming, placed the weapon
against his (Fleming's) stomach, and fired. A
frightful wound was inflicted, and Fleming's
death resulted In a few moments. Woolley,
after committing the deed, fled to the woods,
where he made a desperate attempt to commit
suicide by cutting his throat. After having
nearly severed the windpipe he abandoned the
design and returned covered with blood to the
scene of the murder, where he was arrested.
This is the first cose of murder that has ever
occurred in this vicinity, and has created great
excitement.

Tbnrsday, August 13. 1868.
The Money Market Las undergone no change,
the supply of capital being largely in excess of
the demand, and the sales' of "call loans" con
tinue to rule from 4 to 6 per cent. Trade Is im
proving, and the new crop of wheat is coming
forward freely. The South counts upon a cotton
crop of 2,600,000 bales, a considerable portion of
which is already taken. The army worm has
appeared In some remote sections of Alabama
and Texas, but not in sufficient icrce to create
much alarm. Indeed, it is no credit to the skill
of experts tbat seme method of destroy
ing these pests en masse has not been
devised long ago. The gratifying sign visible in
Southern trade it that we are now receiving
large shipments of wheat and other products
trom tbat section instead of sending provisions
thither as was the case only last year. Tnis in
dicates reviving strength and means. The negro
laborers; at tbe same lime, are manifesting less
confidence in the professions of disorganising
agitators, and are returning to old rales of thrift
and industry. This favorable reaction toward
work and reason brightens the prospect on
every side.
