CURED on the sthmus within the past three or four
weeks. In Panama, beyond an apprehended re-
bellon, at the head of which, it is said were Gen.
Flores, and the editor Of the Echo, DR.. Fuller no.
thing of interest has taken place. 1t was most
ridiculous affair throughout. ] expect, however,
that the edier of the Echo will be ordered ont of
the country, as, when left, the Governor, Obal-
dis, now the Vice President OF the republic, was
about ordering his arrest.
There are comparatively very few Americans in
town, but in few days there will be quite rush.
! The Ecuador. Sarah Sands. and The Isthmus are
momentsrily expected with the usual crowd home.

gers by the Crescent City and Philadelphia are ari-

Business here is very dull A great deal of
/ money has been, and more will be lost in pro-
visions shipped To this place | sa " some barrel ;
OF good mess pork sold few days ago, tor 81 30.
Some OF the heaviest merchants OF this place have
also lost largely by the speculation in steamer
tickets and sailing vessels.
Seine four or i've fine young fellows, New
Workers, have bought the American Hotel, and do
all they can to please the public They give their
personal attention to the matter.
III. heal of the city Is so so-some fever but
no choltra. The doctors are dismal, and druggists
desponding.
The road TO Gorgona is, as matter of course,
out OF The question at present; but about the middle
OF December, when the dry season will have fairly
set in, II will be- altogether the best route--till
which time, travellers should take the Cruces road.
There have been quite number OF deaths in
Cruces recently. One was Mr.. Vose, Of Ohio;
81 he was In IL erlv
Of the Crescent City, but, at the time of his death,
connected with the man cement OF the American
Hotel, in Cruces. lie was an estmable young man,
| honest, capable, aud industrious, and highly
esteemed by all who knew him. BY none is bis
death mole regretted than Ivy his associates in
business, who have suffered thereby an rrcparable
/ loss. 49,
In Gorgona, when came down the river, there
! was u little chrlefa, but presume by this time it
/ has disappeared A good many Americans have
died IN this place, but they are so quickly buried
by their friends, who are all anxiety TO get oil,
that have not been able 10 ascertain their names.
A Mr.. Davis died in San Pablo, OF cholera, and the
rascdy natives, taking advantage OF the unsophis-
tcated character OF his friend, only charged *l2j
TO bury him, without coffin, or any Of the usual
appuTtenances. Now, IL won't do for the sympa-
timers to write home about the poor unoilrndng,
innocent natives after that. In this connection,
must speak Of set Of asses who 60 through this
country, apparently for no other purpose than TO
disgust their friends, and make fools Of themselves

far surpass that gentleman in the exeut Of their
researches, md the proiundity Of their remarks
In Gorgona there are now two hotels. The first,
and, in my opinion, the best lie the Railroad
/ House, which, by the way, with the Irving House
/ in ChsRres, the American Hotel in Cruces and the
United States Hotel in Panama. constitutes Millers
line Of lsthmus hotels the only through line on the
route. The Union Hotel is very well kept by Mr..
/ James Reed. In word, persons can depend upoa
receiving, IN Gorgona, as good fare and attention as
ST any other point on the lslhmus at either of the
/ two houses above named. There are now al Cha.
