San Francisco Weils, Fargo, & Co., 400 Chestnut street, our oppos'ito neighbors, usually supply us with tUes of California Journals, in lulvnnco of ouy own exchanges, which we receive by mail. The last batch which has reached us, to August, inclusive, contains a few items which apijonr worthy notice here: Tho;, San Francisco Evening Bulletin of August 10th, gives a report- of a lecture to the Mechanics, delivered by Horace Greeley, at San Ftencisco. The description of his man ner is good enough. It runs thus: “ The lec turer jwocceded at once to Uio business of the evening, by taking from his pocket a small notes of an unique description. If a devil” was In tho audience, he thought immediately of “copy”— for file memoranda of tho lecturer were upon little Hqparo bits of paper, as if prepared for tho hfm'ds of the compositor j and in them, to our eyes, peeped, out more tho habit of an editor than an orator . Be tin's as it may, Mr. Greeley launched out at ouco into his sub ject, which was Industry and the Mechanic Jrts, and spoko porhaps seventy minutes. Though' there was a total absence of all attempt at eloqrionce, or evun at rhetorical effect, the lecture was so replete with matter for thought, and opened up such extended fields for reflec tion, that he was listened to with unflagging in terest to the close,” Those who have seen and heard Horace Ghkelky lecture, will re cognize, thu_ graphic fidelity of this sketch. But we defy them to recognize the truth of a wood-cut portrait, purporting to be that of Mr. Greeley, which heads the report of the lee-, turn. Another California Journal, tho Mariposa Star, thus sketches Mr. Greeley as lie appear ed at Mariposa, and the San Francisco Bulletin actually published this description, almost p:\t a-i'is with its wood-block. It runs thus: “In person, Mr. Greeley is übovo the medium height, rather inclined to corpulency—light hair and eyes—full face—rather a pleasant ex-, presslonjr'don’t look liko a vegetarian—wears «specs/ (steel bowed)—carries a cane, and would pass in a crowd for a middlo-aged Yan kee farmer, hunting a place to locate a ranch. We noticed no other peculiarities except that he declines to drink—never smokes—seldom swears, and soeriis to bo in an uuaccountable hurry to get back to New York.” Tho Bulletin*s portrait omits the spectacles, (which Mr. Greeley docs not usually wear), but gives “the counterfeit resemblance” of a stout, burly, dark-complexioned man, with a high forehead, black hair, and a good deal of dark whisker surrounding tho lower part of Ids face, from oar 1° ear leaving tho cheeks bare. Thoao who havo scon the long, thin, flaxen hair of Mh Greeley, and his fair complexion —dellcatet as a woman’s—could never recog nize the San Francisco portrait, which seems fashioned on Miss Biddy Fudge’s description of her beau-ideal of a hero ; "A fine sallow,sublime sort of Wob^to^•faco^lman, ,, With u Tliftilcer (hirsair expression, half savage, half soft, A» Ily teuu Ift love may bo (untied to look, or A something between Abclnrd anti old Bluchor.” Tho best of tho joko is that, on tho previous day, in reporting ft apooch by Mr. Greeley upon tho Pacific Railway, (by which ho hopes, within teii years, to go from New York to San Frat«4 , i c&^xtet '' iaii y c fXft o(,lv,ue BuHe/tn do scribed him thus: >- - “ ““ “ Tlie’peraonfti-sppQaraDce of Mr. Grooloy is fa miliar Jo many of our readers. Ho ia abovo tho .medium height, rather thin, and has a slight stoop. Ilis head is odd, with tho exception of light flaxen locks at tho sides and bock. Though nearly fifty years of ago, thore aro no wrinkles in his face; on tho contrary, his features, oxoopt for his baldness, would indicate qnite r young man. There i.y a pe culiar brightness in his eyes, and tho general ex pression of his faco is mildness and benignity. His dress', last evonlug, sfterdrawing off his drab over coat, (irom which tho mountAinoers cut off all tho buttons,) was plain block, with a light neck-cloth. Tho famous white hat had boon exchanged fur ono of dun-oolorod wool. His late jbarney across tho plains, although It fatigued him much, has raado him weigh more than ordinarily, and has given him a fresh and halo appearanco. All wg say la, the description and tho por troin do not tally in tho lead! Tho Alta California, also published in ban Francisco, does not present any fancy sketches of Mr. Greeley or other people, (probably had no old wood-cuts to work up,) but gives U 3 actual information, to tho following effect: " Tho recent difficulty in regard to tho oocupa tlou of the island of San Juan, by American troops, afforded Governor DouglnPs a magnificent oppor tunity to mako himsolf ridiculous, and he fully availed himself of It- It id related bythosowho were present when his Excellency first recoived the news of tho occupation of tbo island that ho stormed and blustered in tho most alarming ruan nor. Tho council was convoked, and Admiral Baynos and olher English officers were immediately *uminoued before it. Guv. Douglas* was most terri bly oxcitod iu regard to the matter, denounced CHpt. Pickett and bis oorps as a band of Yankeo fili busters, and ordored Admiral Baynes to proccod at ouco to tho pcono of action with one or moro of tho vessels of hid fleet, and oxeento summary venge ance upon these ‘ dastardly filibusters, * who had dared thus to Insult the flag of Great Britain. Tho veteran Baynes, who has seen a long hfetimo of active service, very quietly refused to o xocuto the sanguinary orders of tho bellicose Governor, stating that tho question was ono which could only bo disposed of by tho heads of tho two Govern ments, whilo so far ns the color of titlo was con cerned, tho Americans had certainly stronger au thority for taking possession of tho island than tho English. Tho Admiral at the samo time atatod that be had seen his deoks run deep with hqman goro, hut for nil that, ho would far rather shod tcnrßthan blood. Of course, auoh a rebuff ns this, quite nonplussed tho bolligereut Govornor, and probably brought him to his senses; for wo hear no moro of any proposal for precipitating u diffi culty by resorting to arms.” The English Admiral appears to have been a properly cautious and prudent man, whose courage no one will doubt because ho thought it wise to hear from England before lie got into ft (puwrel with the United States. The dUa California, declaring that “ the in creasing commerce in tho Indian and Pacific oeoans, and in all the seas of tho Asiatic coast and Archipelago, imperatively calls for the rc» visenient of tho sailing directories to suit the wants of more extended commerce, practically adds i “ Jlorsborgh’s Dircotory moots not tho wants of our ocean clippers. Even with tho additions umdo to tho charts and sailing directories In tho last ten years, they sro vet utterly inadequate to their information for tho despatch and safety of our raor ohimtmen. Wo have always boon dependent on English charts and directions, and, for another ge neration, aro likely to be; for, nlthough our ships have done considerable of exploration in tho North and South Paoltio, and in tho China seas, there is still much of that portion of tho world navigated solely by ancient English and Spanish charts, with sailing directions givon for vessels far les3 of siso and wcothcrly qualities than thoso of tho ship ping of tho present day. England is nearly equally interested with oursolvcs in this mat ter ; Holland next, while Franco and Spsin have a yearly increasing interest in a safor and hotter navigation. Suoh a work as is required is too much to ask of any ono Government, whoro nil nro benefited, however groat their commerco. But it is a work in vrluoli all commoroial nations should join, and ono in which, no doubt, England and Franco would gladly shnro in the ospenso and labor. Nearly all tho survoys nro made. Tbo chief labor is collection and verification of the informa tion so Abundantly contained in the logs of tho different men-of-wnr and merchantmen. On tho moro beaten tracks, Horahurgh is already nearly complete—wanting only revision and better dotall of facts. In othor cases, tho proper notes have been kept in tho journals of our men-of-vrar and of first-class merchant captains —wanting only collation to bo made available to tbo commerco of tho world. Lot our Go vernment take tho initiative, and propose tho mat ter, as a joint affair, to tbo European commer cial nations. Our Lieutenant Maury is the man to male the atrangnnntt't in a labor which, when completes would add the cap-stone to his nautical fame. We have, fortunately, others of hi* eo lnburors who would do tho matter full jtistieo ; but Maury is prc eminently the man, from his world wide fnmo and reputation —a guarnnteo to other nations of tho excellence of our Intention, and a stimulus to first-ohi's nautical tnlont to render the necessary information from their jj woll-stookcd journalsund oxporienoo. Tho UnitcaStatos should take tho preliminary steps Jn a matter which, whatever of pence or war betide, is of tho first com mercial importance-lessening risk, time, and in surance, inoroafiing the eafotyofonr vessels, and alleviating the hardships of thoso ‘who go down into tho boa in ships.’ ” Wo learn, via San Francisco, that tho Chi- nese are determined not to allow any English Embassy to go to Pokin, and that tho Ja panese refuse to send an Ambassador to Eng land. A Sbanghno correspondent of the Jlta California says: “We learn that tho returning of the twelve shipwrecked Japanese by tho English was made the lever of a ua tional demand upon the Japanese Govern ment, to tho effect that an Embassy be sent to Londou on the some day one was to leave for Washington. Lord Elgin was at Japan, in tho Inflexible, two months, merely to gain that one concession. But tho Japanese said they had made their promise to tho Americans when the treaty was made, and thoy would keep that and none other.” >*or The Press.] The Flower of the Sun, BY IIKLKN MARIOS WALTON.

(Correspondence of The Press.) West Chester, Pa., Sept. 13,1859. Tho political parties of this county arc now pro vided with tiokots for .their support at tho next general election. We aro moro fortunate than somo of our sister counties, from tho fact that we havo three tickets presented to tho public. For this stroke of good fortune we are mainly indebted to Mr. Buchanan. lie has succeeded admirably In effecting a division of the Democratic party hero, ns elsewhere, and tho result, of oonrso, will bo an overwhelming defeat to us, and consequently a largo triumph of tho Republicans, Lot mo give you tho throo tickets as formed. Ono weok ago to-day, the Democrats, adhering to tho doctrine of popular sovereignty, as defined by Sonator Douglas and all Democrats, savo those sus taining the Buchannn Administration, mot, in this plnco, nnd placed in nomination tbo following gentlemen: Assembly— M.

Arrfi tor— Samuel Holman. Surveyor— PeterDampuian. Most of thoso nominated, yon wilt rocognise, at onco; and I need hardly troublo you with a close scrutiny into their political history. The gentle men nominated by tho true Democracy are amongst tho most storling oitizons of our county. It is freely acknowledged, on all sides, that hotter so iectioDß wore never mado by any party. Tho Republicans have nominated their old As semblymen, who aro a fair average for capacity, nnd tholr othor nominees aro gentlemen of re spectability, nnd will fill the offices creditably. On tho l.ecompton ticket aro several excellent ; oitizens, while others nro tho most odious that could possibly bo placed in nomination, and all forth weighod dowu with the most oxecrablo politi cal sentiments that any set of men ever stnggcrcd TWO CENTS. under. They aro pledged to the teeth to carry out Mr. Buchanan’s slavery propagandlsm,and are the sworn enemies of Judge Douglal, repudiating both him and bis Democratic doctrine of Popular Sove- Tho adherents of these men, or at least & majority of them, go all lengths to serve their Southern task-masters. You may hear them any day in tho week, at tho corners of our streots, advocating, bluntly and boldly enough, the worst heresies of the Southern fire-eaters. Now you may well say, how is it possible that the nominees of men entertaining such opinions can get votes in such a ooanty as Chester ? The won der is natural enough, but still they will get votes, aaid some, too, from men who do not sympathise at all with their vlows, but who are wedded to m skeleton called organisation. They' see them wearing the old garments of Democracy, and vainly think the heart and soul lies somewhere beneath tho desecrated folds in which they are enveloped. They do not imagine the hollow and worthless trank that is underneath, devoid of any vitality aavo that which is for evil. Great efforts are to be made to elect that special “mountebank,” Monaghan, as you, Col. Forney, very aptly called him, for District Attorney.- An unusually large amount of money was raised by the nominating Convention, and tne election of this man Is supposed to be the objeot. Their hopes are mainly resting and centering on the dofection'of certain Broomall Republicans who are seeking an unenviable revenge on their own candidate, be oauseho was an eloquent friend of Hickman last fall. Monaghan ia a special pet of certain ap pointees from this county in your custom-house; they are of his own calibre, intellectually, and will no doubt act the laqqttey in the districts for him during the canvass. This man has far several years been looked upon as a common scold in the county. And if he had worn petticoats, would have been duoked before this. He has vented his coarse, vulgar epithets on citizens of the most irreproacha ble character, and but for the antics he constantly enacts when on the rostrum, would long ago have received personal chastisement for his abuse of good men. And then his Dom ocracy is of this kind—he has been known to stand on our eleotlon ground all day and disseminate tickets to defeat the Democratic party. Some of his friends plead infancy in ex tenuation of this conduct! -'Well, infancy is a good plea for him, and the people of this county will take good osre to do with nlm this fall, as a mother does with a crooked, perverse, reckless, ugly-disposed child, when she lays him over her knee! Monaghan Is truly a ridiculous mounte bank, and the privilege that was once asked for him by a member when he was cutting his capers in our State Legislature, “ That he might be per mitted to stand on his head!” was just abont suob a positiou as his character would naturally call forth. There are plenty of Lccompton men here who will not touch him, and he Is doomed to be badly beaten, as he richly deserves to be. It Would be a great disgrace to have this office, which has been filled by snch distinguished men as Bar nard Bell, Van Amringe, Hemphill, Hickman, and others, dishonored by this Incompetent fellow—but there is not a particle Of danger of this taking place. lie will be effectually laid on the shelf. The candidate for this office on the tloket of the Popular Sovereignty Democrats, George W. Ro bert?. Esq., is a very promising young lawyer, and will poll a large vote. He isa fine speaker,highly educated, full of fire and plitc/r, and will mako a distino t mark in tho canvass. Vi.vdex, Jr. The Trial Trip of 1 the United States Steam Sloop Wyoming. the roraae to chahlksto*. I For The Frcss.j Agrooabty to onr expectations, ten A. 51. of Tuesday/August 23, found officers and men all on board, afad our gallant little vessel ready to loose from her .moorings off tho navy yard. As the hands of our ship’s clock pointed to noon, the order was given, and tho Wyoming glided gaily from her anchorago, as If Impatient to plough the ocean wave. Her compliment was one hundred and thirty-three, officers and men. Fhe was officered by tho following gentlemen: Commander. John K.Jtltehell; First Lieutenant, Francis K. Murray; Second Lieutenant, Earl English ; Third Lieutenant, John R. flaraiUpn ; Master, Thomas K. Porter; Midshipmen, S. W. Averctt, fl. H. llackett, Beatty P. Smith : Chief Engineer, Harman Newell; First Assistant Engi neers, Edward Fithian, Philip G. Pelts ; Third Assistant Engineer?, Zephaniah Talbot, Thomas M. Dukehart; Captain's Clerk. J. E. Jacobs; Purser’s Clerk, J. L. Blauvelt; Carpenter, Robert A. Williams. • As we passed the Princeton her crew manned the rigging) and gave us throe hearty cheevs. to which the “ Jack-tars " of the Wyoming as lustily replied. Ere we bad fairly left our anchorage a boat from tbenavy yard came alongside, and de livered a letter to our commander, which proved to be our orders to toueh at Charleston, S. C M on our cruiso. This change of destination was received with general satisfaction. Steaming leisurely down the river, we reached Fort Miffiina little be fore one P. sL,.aod at once the work of loading re*, ammunition began. This detained ns all day,-and till eleven A. M. of Wednesday. By that hour all onrpowder and shell were aboard, and weighing anchor, we steamed toward the Capes of the Delaware. The morning being dull and rainy, wo saw but little of the towns and beau tiful residences along tbo river banks. Chester, Wilmington and New Castle were successively passed, and at tbo last-named place we parted with Mr. Arohbold, tho EDgineer-in-Cbief of the Navy, who bail hitherto honored us with his com pany. As evening come on, the weather still con tinuing thick, our pilot deemed it advisable to anohor for the night, and wo did so. Thursday morning, the 2otb, wo again got under way, and before noon passed Capes May and Henlopen. The breeze being rather favorable, after steaming past the Capes our sails were set, and the Wyoming bounded over the waves at tho speed of nine knots per hour. The slight rolling of tho vessel after passing Capo Henlopen, soon found its reflection in tho countenances of the "land-lubbers" on boat'd, and for several hours old Neptune held high carni val around the bowsprit. Wo passed a fow vessels during tbo day, and a steam-tug afforded us a wel come opportunity to communicate with our friends at homo. Onr next day, Friday, found us steam ing over the billows at the average speed of nine knots. The sea was smooth, and tho wide expanse of ocean beautiful to the eye. By six P. 51., wo passed Cape Hatteras, and rode gaily on towards Charleston. Saturday dawned clear, and ourimorn ing nows w«s an account of our having fallen ia with tho U, S. steamer Fulton, about four A.M. Her course was nearly parallel to our own, and we had a little trial of speed with her It proved of short duration howover, for in two hours tho Ful ton was dropped astern, out of sight. Cepes Fear ami Lookout wore passed during the day, and as wo retired for tbo night, it was with the expecta tion of entering Charleston harbor next moniiog. Our hopes were not disappointed, for as we came on decx next morning, Charleston light-boat was alongside. Steaming very slowly we passed suc cessively Forts Sumpter and Moultrie, with Castle Pinckney, and at nine A. M. rode gallantly into the harbor, anchoring off tho Battery. Charleston, as it appears to astraDgor entering its harbor, gives an inadequate idea of its she or beauty. But, though our unpracticed eyes were unable to discover all the attractions of Charleston At a glance, a closer examination convinced us of their existence. Tho anchorage of the Wyoming was favorablo for displaying our shin to the city, and the Battery to those on board. The Battery, which is cortitnlv ono of the moat attractive por tions of the city, is built directly into the bay, be ing washed in front by its waters, and upon its west side by the Cooper river. Somo of the most beautiful private residences of the u Palmetto oity” are built along the Battery, and on its ex treme west is a large publio square, which is a po polar promenade, and where a band of muaio plays certain evoniogs of the week. The street in front of tho residences is graded, and in the evening many handsome oquipages may bo seen upon it. Passing the residences on the Battery, and going to the right, you find yourself upon ono of the business streets of the citv, resembling, in many respects, Water street, in Philadelphia. The post office stands about hnlf way between the Aehloy nnd Cooper rivers. It is a venerable-looking edi fioo, and rather tho worse for wear externally, but internally a convenient post office. Broad street, nt right-angles with tho front of the Battery, is a wido ami hand?omo street. The lower part of it, is the scene of much bustle, many fine stores being located on the west side, while upon the east side are most of tbo banks and insurance offices of Charleston. At the lour corners of Broad and Meeting streets stand respectively St. Michael’s church, (coeval with thn Revolution); tho city guard house, tho court? house, and city hall. In tho heart of tho square, between these four edifi ces, tradition nffinns that there atood a statute of Sir William Pitt. Wbon the British oannonaded Charleston, during the Revolutionary war. St. Michael’s spire afforded them a prominent mark, and ono of the balls aimed at the steeple struck Sir William, depriving him of an arm. Along side of the City Hall, is another public square, and nearly opposite the sqaare, on Mooting street, stands tho Mills llouso, an excellent hotel. King street, one square beyond Meeting, contains many fine stores, somo of which vie with our Chestnnt streot houses in size. The most striking charac teristic of Charleston, and one peculiarly her own, is the architectural beauty of her private re sidences. These arc confined to no particular lo cality, but Mooting. Broad, Hayne, and Rutledgo streets may vie with tho Battery in palatial man sions. Thoso elegant residences are rendered the more attractive by their beautiful front yards, whose gravelled walks, enclosed with living box, and containing flowers of orcry huo and tropical fragrance, afford a pleasing contrast to tho masonry of the honsc3. Our reception was truly Southorn in its hospi tality. We had not been in tbo harbor an hour ere tho editors of the Charleston Mercury and Courier tendered us the hospitalities of their *• sanctums,” and daily forwarded their exchanges for our perusal. The Charleston Club” offered us free admission at all hours to their elegant rooms, where wo found journals from all parts of tho Fulled States, nnd many European papers also. On Monday afternoon, the steamboat Osiris made an excursion to tho Wyoming, bringing a largo crowd of ladies and gentlemen. Tuesday we were visited by the Mayor and Councils. Our stay had boon limited till Wednesday, tho 31st ult But on Tuesday afternoon we received a tele graphic despatch from tho Secretary of the Navy, extending our stay five at the discretion of our commander. This was in answer to an appli cation from tbo leading citizens of the place, ask ing that our visit might he prolonged On Thurs day we were honored with an invitation to a con cert, givon that evening at Institute Hall. This is a spacious room, and had just been newly painted and frescoed. It will become more famous ere long, as it is bore that the National Democratic Convention of 1860 ia to hold its session. Tho weather m the evening was threatening rain, and thus deprived us of the plea suro of seeing some of Charleston a fairest daugh ters But the conoert was creditable to the Charles ton hand, that gavo it- On Friday a party of twelve of tho officers went on an excursion of for ty-four miles upon the Charleston and Savannah Railroad; being the guests of the road. Our desti nation was the rice plantation of Mr. James Hay ward, comprising several thousand acres, and cul tivated by 500 negroes. After a pleasant ride, at 10 A.M. we reached the point on the railroad PRESS.

After resting a little while, we started out on a tour of obeerratioa, eve rything being entirely novel to tfca Northerners of our party. We were soon at the rice field,and had ample opportunities for observing the mode of ise culture. The rice plant flouriahee only in water and is alwara irrigated bv a stream a foot or; two in depth. When the grain becomes ripe, the waterls drained off, and the rice is then balvMted with the rickle. The prevent crop looked well, and pro mised an abundant yield. The fields of riot, when the grain is mature, present a beaoafal appear "nee. covered, as they are, with an unbroken ear face of white. From the fields, we again mounted our boreee. end started for "White Hall," where we were to dine. On the way, we saw and shot a young alli gator, about three feet In length, whose jaws gave n s an idea of the size of those of the fall-grown rep. tire. We soon reached "White Hall," and were speedily seated to a magnificent dinner. The fables literally groaned under the lavishnet* of the re oast, provided in the most profuse style of South ern hospitality. After ell had enjoyed thedinner to their heart’s content. Gen. Mania, the acting president of the Charleston and Savannah Rail road rose, and in a neat speech proposed as e toast, “The United States navy and the officers of the United States sloop Wyoming; we met asitnn we part as friends." Captain Mitchell, ef the Wyoming, replied in a brief bot appropriate speech, toasting in return the Charleston and Sa vannah Railroad, and its generous manager*. Af ter e few moments of soeial com pany rote, and remounting, we reached the rail road at 3P. M. A few hours ride brought us btek to Charleston, and compelled us to part too soon with our generous hosts, whose kindness will ever ho remembered bv the ofieera of tha Wyoming. On Saturday morning, the last of oar. stay, the Osiris again visited ns. remaining tJH just* before we weighed anchor. She then steamed off; and as we brought our ship around, her band stnai up m national air. and her putengerf gave three hearty cheers, to which our crew, manning the rlxcinr, replied. With many regrets we then bade adieu to Charleston, and with an abiding recollection of the kind attention we had received during out star. At Snllivan’s island we passed the Osiris, , and at half-past two P M., discharging our pilot, we stood oat for sea. Our speed was about elevea knots, though sometimes we west at fast as twelve for an hour or so; and with a bright, clear sky w# made Capa Hatteras atSP.M. of Sunday. The weather was beautiful, and onr day's aafi was more of a pleasure excursion than a sea voyage. But on Monday the weather changed, and we bad rain, accompanied with a pretty stiff fcreese. Bat despite tho adverse wind, our veeael steamed akmg at the speed of ten knots, and 1 P. M. found us aft Cape Henlopen. Theweatberatilloontinaedoloadj, bat sufficient light was left to enable our pHot to bring os up the river. As we went by Capo Key we passed an outward-bound steamer. Steaming steadily ahead, at 21 P. it wa reached the L*s? retto, haring made our passage from Charleston bar to capes of the Delaware in 46 hours and fortv mi nutes. Next morning we passed the health officer, and getting under wsy by 3 o’clock, at a little pest nine anchored off the navy yard. Thus ended our trial trip, a uniformly pleasant one to nil onboard. Our engine, constructed by Merrick A Sons, worked admirably, having made as high as 79.6 revolutions per minute, and averaging seventy-two revolutions throughout our trip, The weather vu generally too fair to test our canvass, but for the little time that wp ware able to try our sails, the Wyoming sailed wall. Officers and men feel proud of their vessel, and oor little cruise to Charleston willerer be remembered with pleasure by Pbjlapxlfka ARRIVAL OF THE NORTH STAS.

Just before she left a small river steamer brought the news that, through a revolution or conspiracy. President Mora had been seized in the night, white in bed, and sent to Guatemala; It 1> also said that Senor Montealgre, of Ban Jose, he* been made Provisional President, and that Mr. Jay, an English merchant in Bon Jose, holds a prominent position in the new Government. Tho officers brought no papers, and could give no far ther facts, but they stated that the news waa fully believed in San Joan. If President Morn has really been overthrown, I think great injustice has been done him, and I do not believe bis people will sanction the act I be-' ltcro be is tho wisest and most honest of all the Spanish American rulers. When a merchant, hi# reputation as an honorable, upright man, was re cognized by all his associates. Since he has beeo President of Costa Rica, that little Republic baa prospered immehsely, tod notwithstanding it* sparse population, was considered as at the oetd of the Central American States, Without Mora’s courage .~:*<*y, and personal sacrifices. Nicaragua and Costa Rice would, possibly, at thia day, be under the sway of William Walker. Moranotonly routed his people to take up arms as is a holy war, and induce them tj pour their little means into the coffers.of the State, to prosecute this war, but he impoverished himself to do 2t. Hit finest estate, worth $lOO,OOO, was mortgaged to raise money to carry on tbo war, and this estate was ac tually sold to pay the debt, the Government not being able to meet It- About six months since. President Mora, with the advice and consent of Congress, exiled Llorente, bishop of Costa Rica, for the crime of refuting to obey an equitable law, which assessed a small hospital tax upon him and his clergy, and for in structing his clergy and curates to preach treason from their pulpits. I have just a faint suspicion that if Mora has been overthrown, this ohurch affair had a goed deal to do with it. If the newt is true, it is not probable.Preeldent Mora has been sent to Guatemala, bat b&s gone to Nicaragua cu tho railroad company’s steamer Guatemala. .Sinco writing the foregoing, I have received the following letter from Grevtown. It la not probable the reasons given for President Mora’s leaving the country are correct.
