Notwithstanding the issue Of double sheet, our
columns this morning will be found crowded to their
utmost tension with late news from every section
Of the American continent, among the most impor-
tant Of which is that brought from Cuba by the
steamship Cherokee. The G. reports that she was
permitted to land at Havana with Purser Smith on
board, and that nothing was said by those in au-
thority respecting former difficulties. Captain
General Canedo was about sending special agent
tc st. Domingo for the purpose of watching the
movements of certain fRibusteros who are said to
be organizing in the vicinity of SANTANA. The ar
rival Of q reinforcement Of four thousand troops
from SPAIN wa. anxiously looked for, as the Cuban
authorities were still apprehensive of another invad
ing expedition from this country. rumor was
aasat that SLAYER had been captured by British
man.ofwar. Read the very interesting letters from
our Havana, Santiago, and Mazatlan corrsspon-
dents.
We elsewhere give full details of the intelligence
brought by the steamship United States from the
West Indies, New Granada, Peru, Chilli, Bolivia,
60, all of which are highly interesting. From New
Granada we learn that the difficulty between that
government and England, as well as the fareup

Atchison, Of Missouri is spoken Of a. most likely to
be his successor. For over forty years Mr.. Kings
labors have been principally devoted to the interests
of the natisn; and it would be the cause Of univer-
sal lamentation if he should now be called away,
just at q moment whom the people have svinced
their appreciation Of his services by eevating him
TO the next highest Office within their gift.
Secretary Stuart's very proper determination to
refrain from awarding any more contracts for build
ing materials, during the short term he now has to
serve is reported to have aroused the indignation
Of certain whig Congressman, who have appointed
delegation to wait upon the President, in order to
have the decision revoked. It is questionable
whether they will accomplish their object. Mr.
Stuart deserves no uncomfortable credit for ustrst
ing, to some degree, the designs of partizan cormo
rants, who desire to surfeit their avarcious oraws
upon the remaining spoils Of an expiring admins
tration.
