THE ISTUMUS.

We have The Panama Star to Sept. is, and The
AspinraH Courier TO the l6,h from which we gather
the following items;
From The Aspia,-aH Courier, Sept IS.
Since our last steamer summary we have had q
great deal Of rain and the Chagres River high
as TO cover its banks in very many places; the village
of Obispo was completely flooded, but no serious
damage was done.
The village Of Rio Obispo is passing away and the
" Summit is beginning TO exhibit form and useful
ness The old stagers have already erected their no.
tells Offices and stores at the latter point, and mum
Der of newcomers have joined them.
The railroad has not suffered from the rains and
from the rise OF the streams along its line near as
much as was to have been expected. On the end OF
the line near Panama vigorous renewal OF the work
has been commenced and they are doing better than
ever. The health of the laborers generally on the
line has much improved within the fortnight.
The effect of the summary modes OF disposing OF
criminals adopted recently has become more and
apparent continually. The lsthmus Is now per-
fectly free from depredations Oreasssults-and our
city is as quiet az New. England village, composed
of the church, the schoolhouse and the store. But
the end Of these things has not come by any means.
Much more has yet TO be done.
The Governor unsuccessful in his endeavors to
obtain the consent OF the tax payers TO aid him IN re.
establishing the old order Of things in Aspnwa has
empowered deputy 10 blind the eyes Of the people
by certain concessions of imma,erial character-bui
they have not been deceived and he has accomplished
nothing. The differences are not likely 10 be i'd
usted betwee en- him and them-and recourse viii have
to be had TO the Legislature Of the Province, which,
il is to be hoped will pass enactment spacing foreign
ers 10 certain extent in the enjoyment of the priyi
lege of representation. II this is not done such
state OF things will exist here a. will insure in
toerable results and then the United States Govern
ment will be compelled TO take signal measures for
the defense and care OF our citizens.
FROM The IsTERIoR.-By the arrival OF the West
India mail steamer at Aspnwal are in receipt OF
late dates from Carthagena. The news, however, Is
very limited, nothing has been heard from the In
terror of the Republic owing TO the mails having been
robbed on the road from Honda.
Gen. Posada had encountered party OF the rebels
at San Pedro; he had not effected his contemplated
attack on the Cienaga which anticipated by the
previous mail on account Of the non-arriva of the
forces he was expecting to assist him.
Gen. Patria, OF the Government Army, had de-
feated the Reyolutionists at Pehuela and made sev-
