agent of the Panama Railroad Company, has failed
in the objects sought at Bogota. These were the
annulment of the Chiriqui improvements Com
panys grants and the extension of the Panama
Railroad Company's grant to ninety nine years.
To accomplish his ends SIR. Sandord offered, in be-
half of the Panama Company, the payment in cash
of S5OO,OOO, and the right Of the New Granadan
Government to levy tax of So upon each passen-
ger over the Isthmus. That Government
asked $4,000, 900 to extend the term to ninety
nine years and to renqush the right of Granada to
purchase the Panama Railroad for five millions in
fifteen years from this time.-Lieutenant Rod

III Pennsylvania is subtracted from this column
with her twenty-seven votes Lincoln and Hamlin
will be defeated If New York should bolt they
are defeated. If they lose Illinois, New Jersey and
Connecticut, they defeated. 1t will be per-
ceived therefore, that it will require extraordinary
exertions to give them success. They rely upon
the divisions of the Democratic party and calcu-
late either that Douglas will be defeated cheated
at Baltimore, or, ii nominated, that the Admins
tration will take open ground against him. On
the other hand, the Bell and Everett movement
may greatly embarrass their operations, and may
make up for the deficiency created by the deec-
tiOn of the Administration and its sympathisers
Illinois, Pennsylvania and New Jersey will be the
great battlefield of the campaign. In the two
latter States there is large American element
which, it is estimated will go heavily for the con-
s"rvative Union movement. If Douglas is the
opponent of Lincoln we shall see another canvass
IN llllAois quite as exciting that which took
place in November of 1858, when Douglas carried
the Legislature; although the Republicans, headed
by Lincoln, obtained majority of the popular
vote. The friends of Douglas claim that il he is
nominated at Baltimore, he will certainly carry the
following States:
Pennsy lyania 27New Jersey II
The Northwestern States. &c Rhode Island ...... 4
Virginia ;.'.'......... 17IOregon and California.

Delaware 81 Total $50
North Carolina. IL
The Douglas men also calculate with some conf
dence upon New York, and base their estimate
upon the large American vote thrown at the last
election, and the dissatisfaction among the friends
OF Mr.. Seward. They contend further that when
the people of the South perceive that the choice is
between Lincoln and Douglas, they will then carry
nearly all the Southern States, which would rem
der their success beyond all doubt. Meanwhile the
Constitutional Union party rely upon the secession
lists to carry off enough Democratic votes in the
South to enable them to give Bell and Everett the
conservative States in that section. Should the
latter calculation prove to be correct, the whole
case may be referred to the House of Representa-
tives. The parties in that body are classified as

1t will be perceived that Kansas is added, al
though not yet admitted into the Union. The re-
suit of the election in the House of Representatives
as will be seen by glance at the above table, is at
least a doubtful one, with the chances decidedly
against the Republicans, for it is beyond question
that the fourteen Democratic States might be
enabled, with the two American Southern States
to prevent the election of the Republican cand-
date, and be able, by the aid of Kentucky and
North Carolina, to elect either Democrat or Mr.
Bell. The programme of the secessionists, how
ever, is to dev0lve the chances of the Presidency
upon the Senate, as provided for by the Constitu-
ton. Should Judge Douglas not be nominated at
Baltimore, then the case is unquestienaby decided
in favor of the Republicans 1t is for the Southern
States to make the choice.
From the Richmond Enquirer
THE REUNION OF THE DEMOCRACY
That the party may be united at Baltimore and its
action harmonious on sound constitutional principles
is the earnest wish of its members in all sections of
the country. We hope that at Baltimore all dis
turbing questions will be harmoniousy decided,
the party again united and nominations made
which will address themselves to the conservative
masses of the country. Continued dlscord and di-
vision of the party will be the defeat of both sec
tons, the triumph their common enemy, the de-
struction of the rights of the South and the disso
luton of the Union.

to return to Baltimore and assert their rights and

The New ALMADEN QUICKSrLvER MINE-This the
flchest quicksilver mine in the world, the owner
snip OF which is claimed by three different parties
IL. j. Walker q Co., James Eldridge and his asso-
ciates, and Bolton, Baron & Forbes, is becoming a
question OF more than ordinary interest in this cty
inns mine, since the acquisition of California by the
United States, has been in the possession of the last
named parties, and has produced at least half
million OF dollars yearly net profit. The pres mt
httorney General of the United States assumes and
aleges that he has proven that the title of Bolton
Baron Go. is forgery; and that whilst he ad-
mlts that other parties may be the owners of the
land upon which the mine is located the title tn the
minerals Is In the United States Under his direc-
tlons an injunction was procured from the Federal
court In California, stopping the working of the
mine by Bolton, Baron Il Co. until the title was
settled. Resolutions passed the California Legisa-
ture requesting the Senators and Representatives
OF that State to urge upon the Administration the
dismissal OF this injunction. Yesterday morning
the Senators and Representatives from Cali
lorna, as | am informed waited upon the

Mr. Senator Latham was the spokesman on
this occasion. The reply of Mr.. Buchanan was,
that the question was judicial one, with which

interfere. Y ou may recoect an amendment of

opposing that amendment referred to its bearing
upon this particular case, although the amendment
seemed to be, and really was, in its phraseoogy,
general in its character. The Senate defeated the
amendment, which only received nine votes in
full Senate. Strong influences are now operating
mere, not only to remove this injunction, but, by
legislative enactment if possible, to determine the
title in the parties who have heretofore enjoyed the
enormously rich advantages of the quicksilver

been on hand during the present session. and it is
