Yankee Progress Under the Tropics.
| We had Simultaneous arrivals yesterday
from Nicaragua and New Granada. The Star
Of the West brought news from Nicaragua to
the 10th inst, and the Osprey sailed from Car
thageDa on the 10Th. The Star of the West
brings us six hundred and fifty thousand dol
lars in gold, and is, as usual, ahead OF the
Panama steamer. Peace still reigns within
the borders of Nicaragua, and many false re-
ports that have been flying about this country
as to the stability of the government are
authoritatively denied. Gen. Walkers army
has received large reinforcements. Colonel
Hornsby-Walker's right hand man, aud a
gallant oficer-has been made General Of
| Brigade, and we direct attention to letter
concerning him which will be found in an
! other part Of this paper. Mr.. Schlessinger,
| who eluded the vigilance" of Mr.. McKeon'
has been appointed Adjutaut General, with
the rank of colonel. Captain Kerrigan has
arrived, and is said to relish the field of Mars
York Common Council. Captain Kerrigan
will be better soldier than statesman.
Yankee enterprise had already laid off the
| suburbs Of Granada in house lots, and business
was quite lively. We publish remarkable
| document from Rafael Carrera, the Captain
General of Guatemala, in which he says that
he is glad to find that peace has been restored
to Nicaragua. This politeness on the part of
one who lie supposed to be bitter enemy of
the party in power in Nicaragua, looks good
deal like humbug. But the amiable Carrera
will find it difficult to humbug the Yankees
| They understand that sort of thing much bet
| ter than he does. The present government
| of Nicaragua has now been in existence since
! October. It seems to be firmly established,
| and the beneficial effects Of peace are already
! apparent. With North American enterprise,
steamboats,, sawmilla, energy, industry, perse-
| verance and money, Central America will yet

is rich enough to pay for working it.
| From New Granada the accounts are cheer
ing Our readers viii remember that the
/ Osprey is the pioneer Of line of steamships
between CarthageDa and New York. She is
owned by company of New York merchants
who are engaged in important internal i'm
| provements in New Granada the trade of
| which republic has long been monopolized BY
English merchants. whose profits are immense.
We publish interesting letters from our CORES
pondents al Carthagena, Santa Martha and
Bogots.
The remarkable events now transporting in
| Central and South America cannot but lead to
| most important results to us and to the States
which have recently received such a powerful
| Infusion Of North American energy. In
/ New Granada we see a company of
| New York merchants quietly revolution
! izing the entire commerce Of the
| country, while railway chartered by the New
| York Legislature connects the Atlantic and
Pecifc, with its termini looking towards all
quarters of the globe. In Nicaragua the
North American takes military stand; and
under authority of the native government,
preserves peace and tranquility in State i'm
poverished and weakened by internal dissen-
sions. But the arts Of peace are not neglected.
! Business men have returned to their avocation,
and trade is once more profitable, because it i
secure. The State is congratulated by its sis
ter republics, and has, by the aid of handful
Of determined North Americans led by a man
whose ability is undoubted, and whose motives
we have no right to impugn-taken position
which would have seemed impossible six
months ago.
/ While the Cabinets are exchanging des-
patches, writing long diatribes about treaties
and routine and red tape, and old fogy diplo-
macy, the people seem to have taken matters
into their own hands, and commenced to carry
| the Monroe doctrine into effect. All these
| demonstrations on the Southern border are the
| result Of the natural disposition Of Young
America to extend the area of free institutions
| and all the Cabinets, treaties, District Attor-
neys and Indictments cannot stop it, The ef-
forts OF Marcy, Cushing, M'Keon Il Co, to pre-
vent people from colonizing Nicaragua and
| New Granada, are about as dignfed and eff.
fectve as the iaoors Of Dame Darlington, who
attempted to stop the progress Of the Atlantic
