FROM WASHINGTON.
The Course Of the Judges in Utah to be
Sustained.
Our Relations with France.
WASHINGTON. March Is.

WASHINGTON, March Is.
Much speculation is INDUCED in concerning
the action Of the government respecting the
affairs of Utah. Private parties have suggest
ed different courses of policy. From what has
TRANSFERRED to-day 1t is probable that Gov
Harding and the Judges complained of by the
Mormons will be sustained. Its said by gen.
tlemen well acquainted with Utah affairs that
the arrest of Brigham Young by Judge Kin
Dey was an arrangement acted upon by the
two to test the constitutionality of the anti
poly gamy law, and to create an impression
that there is no resistance to Judicial process
in that territory.
While the English journals indulge in severe
criticisms on the letter of Mr.. Seward declin-
ing the peace propositions of the French gov
ernment il is noticeable that nothing in the
way of unfriendly comment from official or
unofficial sources has reached our government
from France.
Secretary Chase when speaking to his friends
respecting his recent visit to New York, says
it was both agreeable and satisfactory.

Wesleyan University, who is expected to assist
Prof Briggs in the Humorous and Dramatic
Readings at the new City Hall, is a member of
the Russell School Of Elocutionists. He has
won high reputation, chiefly by his wonder

we are told, have been convulsed over his

EXPEDITION UP THE INDIAN RIVER,
Destruction Of Cotton Laden Vessel.
Capture of Blockade Runner.

WASHINGTON, March IS.
Acting Rear Admiral Barclay, commanding
the eastern Gulf blockading squadron, under
date OF Key West, March 10th, informs the
Navy Department OF the arrival there of the
steamer Huntsville, from a short cruise be-
tween Havana and the Tortugas. Also the
return of the Sycamore from as far up the
coast as Mosquito Inlet. He incloses an inter-
esting report OF an expedition made by the
Sycamore TO the town OF Smyrna, for the pur-
pose Of capturing and destroying vessel
loaded with cotton, in which a brisk engage
ment OF twenty minutes occurred, resulting in
the destruction OF the vessel, and loss on
our side OF one killed and five wounded The
men OF the expedition appear to have behaved
with great spirit and judgment.
Their subsequent operations have been of
efficient service in clearing out rebels from In
dinn river, and in brcnsing up their connection
with the lawless hordes of Nassau. This last
achievement, wholly unassisted against nearly
double their own numbers, and showing such
determined bravery aud endurance, Is of a
brilliancy to merit especial recognition from
the government. The results Of their expedi-
ton, sloop and boat. together with thirty
five bales of Sea Island cotton, had arrived at
Key West.
The gunboat Gem of the Sea, on the 10th,
captured the sloop Pe,oo off Savannah for
Nassau, while attempting to run the blockade
She had cargo OF salt. The vessel being old
and leaky, she was destroyed.

From Central America - The War Between
9uatamala and Salvador.

From Central America = The War Between
9uatamala and Salvador.
New YORK, March 49,
By the Champion we have important news
from Central America The battle expected
at Coatepeque, San Salvador, had taken place.
On the I'D of February, after having day or
two before taken possession of the deserted
town of Santana, Correra, with 1000 men
made bold attack on Barrio's intrenchments,
but was repulsed with a loss of over 100 men.
On the oath, at 3 A. NJ. the attack was re-
newed with great fury, and continued until 4
=. NJ, when Correra was compelled to with
draw, leaving four rifled guns, a considerable
quantity Of munitions Of war, 800 killed, and
of course large number of wounded on the
field. Among the Guatemalian officers said to
be killed are Gen. Zeavala and Bruno, the for
mer Correra's principal General. Gen. Barri-
os in bulletin claims a decisive victory, and
says that Generals Gonzales and Beacamente
are in hot pursuit Of the enemy. Barrios calls
it the greatest battle that ever was fought in
Central America.
1t was expected that Nicaragua would soon
join Guatemala against Salvador, and present
indications are Honduras will join Salvador
There h plan, however, 70 overthrow the
present administration in Honduras, and place
In power General Xatruch. II this scheme
succeeds, Barrios' enemies will probably be too
strong for him.
The news from Bogota, the capital of New
Grenada, is to the effect that National Con-
vention Of all the States OF Columbia met at
Rio Negro, and Mosquera sent In his resigua-
ton Of the Office Of Provisional President, ac-
companed by history of his operations dur
ing the revolution. The Convention then APP
pointed Council Of five TO carry on the gov
eminent until the Federal Constitution could
be made and promulgated. Mosquera was
