WEILEa's (CAL) OPINION AS To THE WAR WITH
ENc1AND.-Mr Weller is among the few who hon
esty teieve that we are on the eye of war with
England. He thinks there is little doubt that the
Fame will be lighted by collision at San Juan and
will rapidly spread into general conRagration Or,
if it does not arise in that way he thinks the negc
tiaions in regard to the Central American question
are approaching point where armed arbitration is
inevitable. Certain it is that our government will
persist in its refusal to refer the Central American
question to any other arbitration than war. In view
of the anticipated trouble, Mr.. Weller is urging the
Departments of Navy and War to the work of accu-
mulating military stores and supplies upon the Pacific
Coast and said Departments are actively engaged in
that service
CENTRAL AMERICAN AFFA1Rs.-Mr. Bowline, Z.
S. Minister at Bogota, has been instructed to ioin
Mr.. Corwin at Panama, but in view of the impor-
tance OF having reliable report as soon as possi e
Mr.. c. is required to proceed with the investigation
without waiting for Mr.. Bovine The probab li'v
therefore is that the Government at Washington will
be placed in possession of the facts connected with
the outrage in about forty fifty days from the time
of the Commissioners arrival on the Isthmus
1t is understood that this mission has been created
with the view of demanding satisfaction from the
New Granadian Government, if the fact shou war;
rant it, for loss sustained by Amer can Citizens as
well as to establish some plan which will instr. secur-
ty for the future to the lives and property of passen

PACIFIC RAILRoAD.-By friend in Washington,
says the s. +. Herald, who has more than ordinary
to reliable information we are informed that
the Pacific Railroad bill will certainly pass this sos-
sion. Mr.. Denver is working upon it with industry,
night and day. He has at length combined all the
great railroad men of the Union-heads of Compan-
les from New York Boston, ST Louis, Cincinnati,
Chicago and other places and by united effort they
are determined to carry it through. The Railroad
bill will pass before the Wagon Road bill.
FROM NIcARAGuA-On the day the Daniel Web.
Ster landed her passengers or company at San Juan
del Norte, the schooner Mimic Schafer, from New
Orleans, landed scme two hundred and thirty men
and quantity of ammunition, under command of
Capt. Jacques Capt. A. D. Ruddler was in attend
ance to take the men into the interior
We are informed that Col. f. Randolph had sailed
under the country fever.
New TREATIES WITH MEx1co.-It is now stated
in an authentic manner that our Minister in Mexico
is engaged in the negotiation of treaty for the nur-
chase of another but inconsderabe slice of Mexican
territory The object is probably to obtain water
front on the Gulf Of California and suitable site
| for a naval depot.
The same Minister is also engaged in obtaining
postal treaty and favorable commercial treaty.
This being the case, it is not very probably that he
is to be recalled as some papers have stated on ac-
count of his alleged remonstrance against the pay
m"nt of the three millions to American assgnoes of
SAINT Anna.
LANcHoLY.-We learn, by private letter from
Vera Cruz, that Lieut.. A. J. Gwin, of the United
States revenue service has been missing from his
hotel since the 18th ns and fears are entertained by
his friends that he is no more. Various reports were
in circulation, and one that his body Lad been found
floating in the water His friends were unable to
verify this report although they had made diligent
inquiry. We trust he may be found alive Lieut..
Gwin is nephew of the Hon. DR.. Gwn, late m(m-
Der of the L. S. Senate frCm California He was
on visit to Mexico with a view of enghtening him
self with regard to the resources of tlat country.
Gold is said to have been discovered in Montgom-
e y county, n. Y, in considerable quantities.
