On the evening of the 26th nit small craft
passed over the bar and moment after We anchored

running from one vessel 10 another, thus giving life

before, had left waste visited only by the sea-
gull and the ocean wave.
The next evening We were towed mp to the village OF

could fnd or aziy strolng along the solitary street.
and now we found it place lively with foreigners,
filed with articles If commerce, busy with trade and
the discbargng of cargoes, and breathing new ex-
istence Of business and regeAeraton. We had left
here some few tnatchroof buildings, uninhabted IN
ruins almost valuelcss, forming together nearly de-
serted village and now every hollow, every empty lot,
every foot of ground commands an exorbitant price,
and is decked with frame, brick or stone edifces.
We had left in the still waters OF the rver only the
Indians canoe his dugout, slowly sneakng along
the shady shores with the primitive paddle; and now
in the same waters We see arising q small forest of
vessels masts and spsrs, aud the steamers plowinG

The bark Flash lately arrived here from New.York
with lcrge cargo If necessaries for the Company,
including stages for the transportation Of passen-
gers the Isthmus; also, some 80 uphosterers
and drivers.
The new iron boat Suchil also arrived here safely
from the port the z tn ut She is calculated
to run in ten hours to Suchi from this terminus OF the
Quaker City's trips, making the whole time across
the Ishmus in 40 40 hours ony and as the rainy,
sckly season is over the road doubtless, will soon be
n nade ayelable for stages throughout.
Two steamers, the Suchil and the Jasper crowded
with passengers, started down to the bar, on the
evening of the 18th ut to await there the arrival OF
the Quaker City.
