New York, Mar. L.. The Daily Times
says letters from reliable sources in Costa
Rlca have been received by the George Law,
putting an entirely different complexion on
the news which had previously been received
from Col. Lockridge.
Ii is stated that the engagement at Hips
Point amounted to nothing, and that the Costa
Ricans retired in perfectly good order, losing
no arms, and suffering no defeat. II was be-
lieved they withdrew in pursuance Of pre-
arranged plan to permit Col. Lockrdge to
go up the river as far as Castillo, and then
cut off his retreat there; that Castillo had
been taken is said 10 be wholly without foun
datiop, nor had Col. Lockrldge captured 400
rifles, as was previously reported.
The Costa Ricans were very confident that
an attack on San Carlos, if made By the
American force, will be repulsed, as the fort
is well defended, and it is then designed to
cut of the retreat of the assailants, and to
prevent their Joining any reinforcements that
may arrive from the United States.

Washington, Nc l6. The statement is
erroneous that Governor Geary's resignation
had been received. TIE President has moth
ing from him. Gen. Cass has received tel
egraphic dispatch from Geary, requesting
thar decisive steps be Immediately taken to
sustain him and indicating his prompt rcsig-
nation as the alternative. The subject occu-
pied the Cabinet to-day throughout long
and earnest discussion.
Mr.. Buchanan's disposition is to sustain
Geary. The Northern ID democratic sentiment
here is in decidedly the same direction. The
Southern wing Of the cabinet ia understood
to oppose him.
