WASHINGTON. December 81, 1855.

CENTRAL ARERIcA-Gen. Walker evidently
designs to consolidate the FIVE States of Central
America into one. and thus give birth 10 anotheo
American Republic. According to the recen,
work of Mr. Squie.s. the area of Central America
contains l55, 0OO square miles an extent Of ter
ritory about equal to that of New England and
the Middle States combined. The population is
two millions. which is divided among the five
States as follows: Guatemala, $4,000; San
Salvador $4,000; Honduras $50 600, and
Costa Rica l25, 600 Such confederation would
make quite a respectable empire, at least for a
flllbuster. Of the entire population, however.
only enc hundred thousand are whites Of the
remainder one million are pure Indians; eight
hundred thousand Of mixed blood, and about ten
thousand negroes. The climate is said to be
GOOD, though dyerSiisd the productions and
mineral resources of the country are highly spo-
ken of, and the chances of immense development
under tho infusion Of Yankee enteeSrlse could not
be better. Walkers sphere Of operations is at
present confined to the single State of Nicaragua,
which Of itself is equal in extent Of Territory to
the State of New York. Recent adyices, how
ever, Indicate that he is gaining ground in two,
ifnot three of the other States Influential parties
favorable to his project having been organized in
those States. 1t is not supposed that he will at
tempt the immediate military subyerslon OF any
Of the States, but in the event of Honduras and
San Salvador forming, as is anticipated. u volun-
iary alliance with his Government, Guatemala
could hardly refuse TO consolidate, while rs to
Costa Rlca in view of its small population, and
the poverty lis national resources, it may be
cunjectured that the result would be inevitable.

The Holidays.

We have scarcely ever known, in this section
of country, more cherries, dull and unintcrest
ing week than that which began December 25th,
1855, and closed with January LIST, 1856. The
weather during the entire holiday season was
most dsagreeably gloomy, unfavorable to out door
enjoyment and amusements, and rendering i'm.
practicable those little social gatherings that are
usual in the Christmas holidays, and contribute
largely to the gayety and happiness Of the season.
Notwithstanding the rain aad mud, large
number of people from the country were in town
on Christmas day, some procuring servants for
the coming year, and others procuring good homes
for their servants: and on New Years day the
streets were even more crowded. Negroes hired
at heavy prices, and those that were sold under
the hammer went at a very high figure. Staun-
ton is doubtless the best market for slaves in the
State; dealers from Richmond are purchasing ne
groes in that city, and selling them at handsome
profits in Staun,on.
