WAR BETWEEN PERU AND EcUADon-By our
latest advices from South America we learn that
war had been declared by Peru against the con-
tiguous State of Ecuador, and that the Peruvian
feet had proceeded to blockade the mouth of
the river Guayaquil The reasons which have
induced Peru to take this extreme step are
stated to be the refusal of Ecuador to submit to
certain demands made by the first mentioned
Power. These are the expulsion of the politi-
cal refugees who have been driven out of Peru
by the present government; the recognition of
the right of Peru to certain uninhabited lands
which are included in an arrangement made by
Ecuador with her English creditors; and that the
Ecuadorian government renounce all ideas of
selling the Galapagos islands to the United
States These questions seem to be too friyo-
lous for a formal declaration of war between two
republics, each Of which is apparently endeavor-
ing to consolidate it's government; but word of
explanation will show that very little Of high
national principle is involved in the question The
facts will be more evident when taken in connec-
ton with the announcement that war is immi-
nent between Peru and Bolivia
lie true question: dt ISSUE DetWeeH I'LL Oh tneEe
Powers is the same that agitates nearly all of the
Spanish American republics, and is involved in
the demand of Peru that Ecuador shall Danish
the political refugees, among whom is ex-Presi-
dent Echenique. 1t is the personal question,
who shall enjoy the command Of the country in
each of these three States. In Ecuador Flores
has been attempting since l846-when he was
assisted by Queen Christana Of Spain-to estab
lish semabsolute power, in which he has been
repeatedly foiled In Bolivia the same scheme
of government was established and maintained
by Belzu and his son-in-law Castro until the lat
ter was recently driven out by Linares, during
the present year. In Peru, Castillo is the repre-
sentative of this school of Presidents who may
be called the Santa Annas of South America
and he has lately succeeded in defeating vi
vance, having previously driven out Echenique
and imprisoned General Castillo.
Having just triumphed in Peru, he finds his
power in danger from the antagonistic govern
mcnts in Ecuador and Bolivia; and in order to
relieve himself from the danger they involve for
him. he has determined to place his friends in
power in the coterminous republics. Should he
succeed in this war, we shall probably see Flores
reinstated in Ecuador, and Belzu or Castro
in Bolivia. The war, therefore, is only con-
tinuation of the strife with ambitious leaders
who aim to rule despotically.

JrDGE EDMoSps ON SPIRrrUAIIsN AND THE AT
IANTIC CABIE-The scientific electricians at
valentia Bay and Trinity Bay having failed
thus far, to make the Atlantic cable speaking
medium, we are glad to see that the spiritualists
have taken the matter in hand. In the late re-
markable discourse by Judge Edmonds on the
mysteries aud miracles Of spiritualism, he says
that Gin regard to the Atlantic telegraph, the
spirits bad revealed that the interruption in its
working was caused by prevalence Of mineral
influences at the other end" Further. says the
Judge, 1--WE all know that there is great
quantity Of mineral matter at the other
end, and that the interruption is supposed
to be on the other side, which tends to confirm
the revelations Of the spirits" But, alas. to cap
the climax, the learned Judge in spiritual Of.
fairs confesses that further than this we do not
know And why not Why can't spirit be
called in to do something useful for once, and for
once to tell us something Of truth that is not al
ready known? What a public beneEactor, for
example, Judge Edmonds would become in pro-
ducing from I" the spirits" the precise locality of
the difficulty in the cable, the precise character
of the difficulty, and the mods operands for reach
ing il and applying the remedy; aud what
a benefactor to De Sanity, Let the Judge
put his spirits to work accordingly, upon test
of this Sort and give us the results in advance Of
the next steamers news from the Irish coast This
old habit of the spirits Of giving us their spiritu-
al knowledge Of things after we have had the
news day or week or two, by our ordinary
channels Of communication, is not a whit better
than Professor Merriam's predictions Of a storm
after the storm has passed by.

WASHINGTON. Ma, Is.

q
Senate---Mr Toombs, Of Ca, argued
that the bill was unconstitutional.
Messrs. Davis of Miss, Collamer Of Vt,
and BENJAMIN Of La, sustained the power
Of the General Government to make i'm.
provements for the benefit Of Interstate
commerce.
The fifteen million loan bill was next
taken up and Mr.. Simmons Of Il. /. hav-
ing the floor, advocated his amendment,
proposing home valuation Of imports,
which he said would diminish frauds on
the revenue, and largely increase the in
come from duties.
Mr.. Hunter, of Virginia, took exception
to tho amendment, arguing that il could
not be introduced in loan bill.
Mr.. Toombs sustained Mr.. Hunters
point of order, but agreed with Mr.. Sim
mons in favor of home valuation. In
the course of his remarks, Mr.. Toombs
said he had been ready these ten years for
a war with England. IF we get up war
ment should have sunk the British ships
or seized them and brought the officers
here and hanged them. While the British
gun boats are committing outrages in the
Gulf, which sea is ours and ought to be n
mare Elausum, the finest ship in the Ameri-
can navey is whereof Towing telegraph
line between two British possessions.
Mr. Toombs also spoke in favor Of limi-
ting the expenditures of the Government,
except in case Of war, to fifty millions per
annum.
Considerable discussion ensued on a
point Of order, Mr.. Hunter defending, and
Mr.. Seward and others disagreeing
Mr.. Crittenden saw nothing to prevent
the Senate from altering the method of
collecting the tariff. Mr.. Simmons amend
ment went no further than the mode of
collection, and hence was not subject to
the objection made by the Senator from
Virginia. The home valuation was the
the only safe one.
Regarding the British insults, if true
and not amply disclaimed by England, we
ought to carry it out to the utmost limits
of an honorable war. He believed that
England would give an ample apology for
these offensive aggressions of her cruisers
He (Mr. Crittenden) was not belligerent
either in policy or feeling, but war is not
the worst of evils. Silent submission to
wrong, or pulling it about for a while
and then suffering it to pass, is not the
course for great people, and is worse than
war. English cannon must not be per-
mitted to stop our ships. He would not
dispute with England about the abstract
right of search, let her found her claim on
what prerogative or supposed right she
may, but the moment she makes an ag-
erosion upon our national rights and
honor, said Mr.. Crittenden, 1 will fight
her upon the fact and leave her the argu-
ment.

nd- Our relations with England seem
to be assuming very serious aspect; but
a clear understanding of them is not easily
arrived at, amid the contradictory rumors
aaoat One dispatch represents Lord
Napier as saying that England will insist
upon the right of search. Should this be
so, war is inevitable, unless our govern
ment backs out from its position. A later
dispatch, however, contradicts the first,
and leaves US in ignorance of Lord Napier
views. The tone assumed by Crittenden,
and other conservative Senators indicates
deep feeling on the subject of British
aggression and determination to meet
tho subject with patriotic frmncss. The
session of Congress must necessarily be
prolonged in order to meet the exigencies
of the case but nothing definite can be
known until the receipt of dispatches from
Mr.. Dallas.

SS- Capt Gordon, of the Brig Eliza
Merrithew, has arrived at Boston, from
Sagua la Grande, and gives it as his opin.
ion that thirds of the stories about the
aggressions Of British cruisers are manu-
featured out Of whole cloth. The world
is SO given to lying, that it is hard to
arrive at the truth, and they who wish to
do justice are compelled to act with great
caution, upon representations not fully
sustained by proof.

WASHINGTON, May 81.
Senate.-The Senate resolution for even
ing sessions was adopted.
Mr.. Houston made an Intellectual at
tempt to take up the Mexican protectorate
resolution.
The British aggressive resolution was
then taken up.
Mr.. Toombs repeated, as on Saturday,
that he wanted the British ships seized.
The resolutions reported by the Com
mittee on Foreign Affairs were not worth
the paper they were written on.
Mr.. Hammond disagreed with the Sena-
tor from Georgia. He (Hammond) was
not willing to be struggled into war by an
amendment to amendments. If the Brit
ish acts are belligerent, let us throw, with
all due solemnity, the bloody spear. II
we must have war, let us declare war after
a dignifed consideration. A war with
England will be the most momentous event
that has happened in the past three CEN
turtles, perhaps in all times past. Perhaps
hostilities with England are, sooner OF
later, inevitable, and when they come, he
believed England would be rushing on her
fate. Let US avail ourselves of the chance
afforded by these resolutions to avoid, un-
til it be forced upon us, an event, which,
whenever it occurs, will change the phase
of human affairs.
Mr.. Crittenden also spoke in conserva.
tive tone, advocating to do nothing rashly
but to proceed with firm but cautious steps
The resolutions of the Committee of Fore
ign Affairs are sufficient to express the
sentiment Of the American people, and il
would be unworthy of both great nations
to indulge in quarrelsome words and quar-
relsome actions. Let England be inform
ed that we require reparation, and if it be
refused, we have then right to stand on
our own grounds He agreed with Mr.
Toombs that we cannot assent to discuss
the right of visitation or search. 1t would
DO unworthy this Government to enter into
any discussion on that subject. We have
to deal with acts only and require England
to disavow them and forbear,
Mr.. Wilson having reconsidered hi'
amendment, said it was not in order, mas
much as it proposed to confer power OF
the President by the vote of one house
only. He therefore withdrew it, but hop
ed that orders had been given to sink OF
capture the offending ships.
Mr.. Mallory (Mr. Wilson's being with
DRAWN moved joint resolution that the
President be authorized to arrest the out

The items of the bill were discussed till

SS- The bill to repeal the Fishing
bounties was promptly and properly met
by an amendment to repeal the duty on
sugar. The Fisheries have ever been es.
teemed an invaluable school for seamen--
the nursery of our navy and because the
trade is carried on By northern enterprise,

southern prejudice, backed by party feeling,
the sugar interest should be subjected to
the same treatment. Let justice be done
TO those who seek to do injustice.

GAINESVILLE TURNPIKE.--We are graf
fled to see that the apathy of the people
along the unfinished portion Of this i'm
portant road, is generally becoming con-
verted into something like interest. We
had the pleasure of conversing with some
gentleman few days since, who have la

public sentiment on this point, and they
seem much encouraged at the prospect.
They are resolved to begin forthwith, and
use the means they have already got. The
work will begin at the terminus of the

selves in the position TO which our wealth
