NEW YORK, Oct. 5.-The steamer Costa Rica,

The Government Of Chill declines to sell the

gress that war will be declared against Spain
as last measure to obtain complete and
honorable satisfaction by the surrender of the
Chincha Islands, and salute to the flag of
the Republic by Spain.
Resolutions are pending to seek Intervention
from European powers to enable Peru to cope
with the superiority Of Spain on the SEAS
The news from Ecuador is very interesting.
Ex.President Urbanna, with revolutionary
force of 400, had landed In the province of Ma
chala, with the intention to overthrow Garcia
Marenos. The Government had dispatched
two steamers with troops after them, but they
failed to effect a landing, and returned to
Guayaquil where the Government has $1,000
troops
The Government Of Ecuador holds rather a
precarious position. owing to the opposition OF
the other republics to her taking the position
she has on the Spanish Peruvian question. A
revolution in the northern part Of the republic,
with an enemy on both sides, looks as though
the Morenos Government cannot last long.
The Peruvian Government is said to be con-
centrating troops on the frontier.
Central American dates to the I'd ult. contain
no news.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

Information has been received at the Navy
Department from Acting Rear Admiral s p.
Lee, commanding North Atlantic Blockading
Squadron to the effect that the blockade runner
which was chased aground off New Inlet, N.
O., on the night OF the 25th Of September and
destroyed by the u. s. steamers Howq uah and
Gov. Buckingham, was the Lynx, owned by
John Frazer & Co., Of Wilmington, N. O., and
commanded by Capt. Raid. She crossed New
Inlet Bar on the night of the 10Th Of September
and put to sea for Bermuda, with a cargo con-
sisting of over 600 bales Of cotton, and $4,000
In gold belonging to the rebel government. The
Howquah in chasing the Lynx sustained
cross. fire from Fort Fisher and the shore bat
teries, and lost man killed and wounded.
Admiral Lee also reports to the Department
the destruction of the blockade runner Night
Hawk, on the goth of September, by the U. s.
steamer Nippon. The Night Hawk was dis
covered coming out Of New Inlet, when the
Nippon gave chase and run her aground on
Federal Shoals, where she was destroyed by
fire, 1t being impossible to haul her off. The
captain, officers, and part of the crew of the
Night Hawk, twenty three in all, were taken
prisoners.
Admiral Lee alse forwards to the Depart
ment several Wilmington papers, which speak
highly of the efficiency of the blockade at that
point Abiding to the loss of the blockade
runner Advance, the Fayetteville North Caro-
lima says Hthat she (the Advance) has done
noble service for North Carolina soldiers, and
has paid herself twenty times"

THE OCTOBER STATE ELEcrIoSs.-Only
three State elections occur during the present
month, but they are all very important
being those of Pennsylvania, Ohio, and
Indiana. They all occur on Tuesday next,
the 18th instant. Great interest is felt among
politicians as to the result In Pennsylvania.
No general State officer is to be voted for ;
but congressman, members Of the Legisla.
ture, and city and county officers are to be
chosen. The campaign is characterized by
great activity, and large vote will prob
ably be polled. The present delegation TO
Congress is equally divided, consisting of
twelve Republicans and twelve Democrats.
Two of the former were elected over the
regular nominees by the aid of Democratic
votes, and one of the latter was similarly
elected by republican aid. At the election Of
1862, the vote for auditor general showed that
the democrats had q majority on the State
ticketof 1854, in total OF 434 ,756 votes. Last
year, however, Curtin, rep. and Union, was
elected Governor by majority OF 1925.
Ohio also votes for Congressman, but not for
Governor Last year, Brough, Union, was
elected Governor by-a majority OF 101,O99
votes, although the previous year the demo-
Gratis elected IA out Of 10 Congressman. In
Indiana, Governor and Congressman are to
be chosen. This State, in 1862 gave a demo-
cratic majority of 9.543, and the same party
elected 2 to II Congressman.

FROM THE FRONT,

The mail steamer Thomas A. Morgan arrived
here this morning from City Point She reports
the military situation in front of Petersburg
unchanged, our troops holding all the ground
recently captured by them.
There was a rumor afoat at City Point,
which appeared to be upon the lips of every
one, that Sheridan had arrived within CO.
operating distance Of Grant, and that portion
of his cavalry had actually made junction
with Grants advance. The report could not
be traced to any reliable source, and is not a
Obable one.
On the north side of the James there has
been no fighting since the rebels made the I'M
successful effort to retake the Ohapin's Farm
position.
The 10th and 18th corps are actively engaged
in throwing up earthworks, and strengthening
their positions, which are now well.nigh i'm
pregnable, and afford important vantage
ground for the next move forward. ---
All OF our men wounded in the engagement
the field and placed in hospitals.

HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE POTOMAC,
Oct. 4.-The utmost quiet has prevailed in
front OF Petersburg since Sunday.
In passing over the ground where the second
division of the 9th corps met with the reverse
on Saturday, our dead were found entirely
stripped OF clothing, and two or three of the
bodies were horribly mutilated.
Several men had evidently been murdered
after being wounded, and one body presented
spectacle too horrible even to be described.
