New ORLEANS, Dec IL, 1857.
The steamship Empire City, from New York I'd
inst via Havana, is ashore at the Balize, but win
probably be got of tonight.
She connected at Havana with the steamship Star
OF the West, from Aspinwall with the California
mails and about two and quarter millions in trea-
sure for New York.
The mails per Empire City will not be up tonight,
but in their absence we have the following abstract
Of her news, which is highly important, by the
Dalize telegraph ine:-
General Walker, who it will be recollected took
his departure from Mobile bay the 18th ult., in
the steamship Fashion, landed at Punta Arenas, in
Nicaragua, on the 25th November, with one hundred
and fifty men.
Not the slightest attempt was made to prevent the
landing, and in fact the purpose of the expedition
appeared to have not even been guessed
The United States sloop-ofwar Saratoga was lying
in the harbor, and the Fashion passed under her
stern at full speed, with only ten men on deck.
The whole party were landed at SCOTS wharf.
Gen. Walker had, it seems, sent fifty men up the
river by other entrances, before making his appear
ancc at Punta Arenas
After landing the expedition the Fashion took
her departure for Aspinwa, where, at the depar-
ture of the Star of the West, she was taking coal
on board.
Commodore Paulding, of the United States
frigate Wabash, attempted to seize her at Aspin.
wall, but, on examining her papers, found them
correct, and consequently could take no further
steps against her.
The British and American naval forces had sailed
from Aspinwall for San Juan, and would very
probably take part in the scenes in that vicinity,
or at least prevent the landing of any more
6libusters.
II was supposed that the difficulties between Cos
IA Rica and Nicaragua alluded to in previous ac-
counts would be settled without resort to hostile
measures.
The news from California by this arrival embrace,
no points of special interest.
The public were much excited with regard to the
seaworthiness of the Pacific mail steamers.
The following vessels had arrived at San Francis
co from Atlantic ports since the departure Of the
steamer OF tie 5th November, yz.:-Sierra Nevada,
Aurora, Old Colony, Goddess, Herald of the Morn
ing and Sancho Panza.

All the banks in this city, learn, have resumed

also resumed; and the redemption Of country bank
notes Is regularly carried on in New York, there Is
practical resumption throughout the state, and IL
may be safely predicted that this movement win be

A glass of whisky is manufactured

mormon and indian Alliance.

Twenty ThousOrd Indians Ready TO take
the Field Against tho United states
TrOOps-Wo Women to be Butcheted.
Yesterday we had interview with q
gentleman from Carson Valley who, from
Intimacy with Mormon families, had some
knowledge Of their future designs and
plans of operation. If his conclusions
BE- correct, not only the settlers east of
the mountains, but even the people Of
this State, will have reason 10 deprecate
the exasperations of those American Be-
douins. He says that the Momons Of
Carson Valley and San Bernandino
have sold their cattle and property for
nearly nothing, and at the bidding Of
their chief, have repaired to Salt Lake,
with the secret design of ro-organizing,
arming, equipping, returning, numbering
and plundering their Gentle enemies =
They declare that, for every Saint slain by
the United States troops, ten Gentle wo-
men shall make atonement; that they will
first extirminate the troops from tie east,
then come west, and in predatory bands,
allied with Indians, they will rayage the
border, rob, plumber and murder, until
they shall have replenished the Lords
treasury, and reyenged insults put on his
chosen people.
OF their ability to execute this threat
we have hut little doubt. Atthe order
Of their leader and prophet, they can
muster $1,000 men armed with the most
effective weapons of destruction. They
have many thousands OF the finest horses,
trained to camp service; they have a
foundry where cannon and shells are cast;
powder mill and factory where re-
volving rifles aud pistols are manuGct-
ured. equal to those made at Hartford -
They have every mum ion Of war, ard
necessary provision and means Of trans
portation, within themselves, and even
the women aud children are instructed ia
the use OF arms. Add to this their geo.
graphical position. To reach Salt Lake
from the east, it is necessary to pass
through a cauou of twenty-five miles
under hills so steep and rocky that doz
en- men could hurl down an avalanche o
stones on an Approaching caiavan; ant
even in the event Of several Thousand
troops reaching the valley, the beseigOd
with their herds, would take TO tn
mountains, and reinforced by their say
age allies, would. in turn besiege thei
beseigers, and cut of supplies until th
invaders had starved out.
They have, It is said, 10000 Indial
allies. whom they arc ready 70 furnisl

These Indians are partially instructed i
