A despatch was received from Phila delphia last
evening. stating that the speci brought by the Ohio
had come on BY land, and would be here by ten
o'clock. This was evidently mistake. The mails
came daily to hand, but the gold dust, we are in
tormed, would be etained board until the vessel
anival at this port, which viii probably be T.
evening, or early to-moro. morning.
The intelligence which we to-day publish from
Peru. is OF very interesting character. Our cor
respondent writes that the utmost excitement for
while existed in consequence Of information received
from the Chilean Minister at w ashington, announ-
cling that Com. McAuley had been instructed not
only TO look after American interests but actually
take possession of the Lobos Islands. This pertur
baton was somewhat quelled by the quiet entrance
OF the flag ship Rsritan into the harbor Of Valpa-
raise, where she dropped anchor. Nevertheless the
Psrurians, as hitherto stated took the precaution
to garrison the islands, and at last accounts were
still busly preparing to prevent foreign aggression
Hthey have not been very careful, ere this some of
the vessels which left this port to load with the
precious manure, in accordance with Secretary Web
fters advice, have met with very warm reception.
BY telegraph from Mobile We learn that the
steamship Black Warrior, which arrived there on
Monday, brought two days later advices from
Cuba, the most interesting feature Of which was
the rumor that the steamship Crescent City, which
war about due, would not be allowed to enter the
harbor of Havana should the authorities discover
that purssr Smith had been retained on board Of
her. The mother Of young Facciolo is said to have
died from the effects OF grief on the Both u't 1t

We are sorry to learn that Gez. Scott was yester-
day quite unwel, having caught heavy cold on
the night previous, while addressing a crowd Of
people at Carrollton, Ky. He 50 i'll on reaching
Cincinnati, that he was unable TO make his acknow-
Judgments to the thousands who had there Assem-.
hled to welcome him. The old General has really
been oyerworked since he commenced his tour
Such scenes ofexctement, hard shaking, and, above
AL, speech making, he has passed through, would
have fatigued much younger man. Read his
speech at Madison.
Our dispatches relative to political movements do
not amount to much this morning. The democrats
Of Washington, and the wings Of Alexandria, are re-
ported TO have held "large meetings. The free
democrats of Maryland have nominated an electoral
ticket and the democrats in the Fifth district of
Massachusetts, have selected A. w. Thayer as their
Congressional candidate
The stockholders of the Vermont Central Rail-
road met in Mortified yesterday, for the purpose
ofhearng the report of the Committee Of Investga-
ton. The report indicates the greatest want OF
system in the management Of the concern, and but
little information could be gained from the books,
which in instance contained charge Of $50 900
against Mr. Quincy the late President for bonds he
had never received but in other instances made no
mention of bonds he had received. See the tele-
graphic columns.
One or two interesting items have been received
by telegraph from New Orleans. The cotton mar.
ket on Monday was heavy, and quotations one
eighth OF cent lower-this does not indicate that
the crop has been injured by floods, rust, &c., to
the extent previously reported. The Naval Commits
ion it is supposed, have decided in favor of naval
depot for New Orleans, at Belleville Iron Works,

track Of the Jackson Railroad, last Monday, above
Carrollton.

proceedings is given under the telegraphic head.
A forged check, purporting to have been drawn
by firm in this city upon house in Baltimore,
was yesterday detected in Philadelphia. The rogue
who presented it made his escape.
Ouite a stir was created amongst some Of the
sbol tionists yesterday, in consequence Of tele-
graphic announcement that the Rev. j. w. Loguen
had been arrested at Skaneatees as fugitive slave.
No such arrest, however, was made. What appears
/. have given rise to the report was the sudden ap
pearance OF two police officers, and the equally sud.
don but temporary disappearance Of the reverend
gentleman in question
