Central and south American News.
NEW YORK, October "A Herald's South
American correspondent says: Ideas Of
making peace with Spain are not entertained
for a moment among the Chilians. They
are anxious 10 carry the war into the enc
mics country, and demand that their navy
shall appear before Cadis.
TheSecretary ofForeign Affairs remarked
at dinner during the last week Of August,
that Chill would ever regard Spain in the
Light Of neutral enemy, and it IS very
doubtful if any General would be tried who
might come from Spain to propose terms of
peace.
Three steamers purchased here by Nc

TUCKER, the ex-Confederate who was APP

officers.
From the Central American States the
news is unimportant. The seat Of govern
ment Of Honduras was about to be removed
to Tracie.
A heavy earthquake visited the city of
San Salvador on the Doth of August no
damage was done. MosQUERo, President Of
Columbia, was prosecuting the ship canal
scheme across the Isthmus, but had declared
that he would not permit the cession of the
State through which it was proposed to run
it from the national government.
The New Granada legislature resolved to
| disobey certain instructions of MosQUERo,
and others have thus become embroiled, and
serious consequences may be expected.

The important French circular note. al
luded to through the cable some davssince, is
spoken Of BY the English press as being of
the highest importance. and its authorship
is attributed to the Emperor. Both Times
and News agree in the opinion that NtFO-
LEON harbors no evils thoughts against the
Independence of Belgium or Switzerland.
Semi-Oticial North German Gazette of
Berlin says the words in reference to mill
airy reorganization for The defense of
French territory must not be considered as
a menace.
The French people are becoming more
persuaded that a good understanding be-
tween Prussia and France is the sure way of

A very dangerous one hundred dollar
counterfeit OH the Central National Bank in
this city is in circulation. The only way
for the public 10 protect themselves will,
perhaps, be to refuse the present and all one

is that in word maintain" on the right

Frnin MnsI,inrton.

WAsHuNGToN, October 2.-The household
effects left at the Arlington mansion by Gen.
LEE or rather the fragments remaining o.
them, were yesterday delivered 10 the party
authorized by Gen. LEE TO receive them.
This was done, the National Intelligencer
SAYS, under an order of the President. II
appears that nearly every thing Of any value
had been stolen. Money, valuable heir-looms,
including some OF the family portraits, were
taken from the house; they had been packed
in boxes and stored away in the upper loft
Of the mansion. Since 1861 these boxes
have been broken open and every thing Of
any real value taken away, and the letters
and private papers Of Gen. LEE scattered
around the loft
At a meeting Of the Boardof Health yes

proves the theory that il always seeks filthy
localities.

REv. GEO. ERsKISE, a negro minister who
has lived in Liberia for thirty years, deliv-
cred lecture in Knoxville, on Friday last en-
eouraging the emigration ofthe negroes from
this country to Liberia. The climate Of Ii
IBERIA, he said, was very similar to that OF
Louisiana and Georgia, and the soil was full
~ as rich in the production Of cereals, cof-
fee aud sugar while tin, copper, gold, silver,
platina and other metals abound in the
mountains. He mentioned enc native Of
South Carolina whose coffee crop last year
amounted to 100000 pounds, and numerous
incidents Of Tie wealth and resources Of the
Republic. The Government Of Liberia was
anxious 10 have the colored people Of the
United States emigrate 20 their country.
For this purpose they ollera liberal home
stead to each emigrant with the privilege
Of locating wherever they choose. They
will also furnish them transportation, free,
from iheir present homes TO Liberia, and
furnish each family house, provisions aud
medicines for six months after their arrival.
Mr.. ERsKINE did not meet with much en-
couragcment from his bre,heren, the chief
opposition coming from the Methodist min
listers Of his own color. lie informed his
audience that they would sO0a see their mis-
take-an insisted that Africa was the true
home of the negro.

II is useless TO deny the fact that in Rich
mond, as in other Southern cities, the none
tary pressure is greater now than it was in
September, 1865. There are a multitude Of
banks in our midst and palatial structures
have arisen upon the ruins Of the burnt dis
trict; bat the indications Of a prosperous
fall business are not as encouraging as was
anticipated. The complaints of the search
ty Of money in ali the departments Of trade,
commerce and labor Is louder than it was
few weeks after the fall Of Richmond. The
tobacco crop Is said 90 be an average one
but in consequence Of protracied droughts
and Imperfect cultivation, the corn crop Of
the State, except in certain portions Of the
Valley, Is much smaller than was anticipa-
ted. In this city rents have fallen. in many
instances, hundred per cent. since 1868,
and, when real estate i sold without reserve,
very great bargains are obtained 70 the lucky
few who have money to invest.

LEES RoCK.-Nery recently, at meet
ing of the Trustees of the Antietam Nation
al Cemetery, plans were proposed for deco
rating the same. In discussion, much fer
vor was exhibited concerning a rock in the
cemetery which the neighborhood persist in
calling LEES Rock, from the fact that the
illustrious Southern leader stood upon it.
during the day of battle Some causist
voted to have the rock removed, inasmuch
as its retention was tantamount TO erecting d
monument 10 GEN. LEE! This novel view Of
the case seemed to strike the party, like an
intellectual brickbat, between the eyes, ard
so, the offensive rock was ordered to be
dumped into the first convenient horse-pond.
Subsequently, however, a better spirit pre-
vailed and the same party decreed its safety
as a Feature of historic interest"

CONSERVATISM IN BEDFORD.

WILLIAM LITTLE, Esq, is the Conserva-
tive candidate for the House Of Representa-
tivcs, to ill the vacancy occasioned by the
resignation Of Hon. NJ. Z. w. DUNNAwAY.
Mr.. LITTLE was the representative of that
county in the Legislature Of 1886, has
been always a "Union man. and is still for
the Union. He was an cold line Wing in
other DAYS, and now stands by the President
in his effort to restore constitutional liberty
together with substantial and perpetual
union Of the States. He is an old man, an
influential farmer, and is deservedly popular
with his fellow-citzens. There is scarcely
room to doubt that he will be triumphantiy
elected. His opponent is GEO. w. THoMP-
son. who runs in the interests Of the Radi-
cal Jacobins.
We stated some days ago that JOSEPH II.
THOMPSON, Esq, would probably be the
Conservative candidate. His public and
private engagements, however, were such as
precluded him from becoming a candidate
for position for which he has so many
qualifications well known to his numerous
/ friends

THE adherents Of the Jacobin Congress
charge that President JOHNSON has en-
deavored to usurp legislative powers. Yet
they cannot point to q single official act OF
his transcending the powers granted by the
Constitution to the Executive. The Legis-
lative branch Of the Government has en-
countered his veto. That is all. The re-
verse is the fact. Congress has endeavored
to deprive him of his constitutional pow
ers, in a variety Of ways, and are now en-
gagged in an effort to override his authority,
and, il possible, deprive him of the right to
have any opinion Of his own as to his con-
stitutional obligations and perogatiyes or,
indeed, any political opinion which may,
in point of principle or policy, conflict with
theirs. This the President resists-and il
he did not resist it with all the power at his
command, he would not only be unworthy
the chair be occupies, but unworthy the re-
spect Of freemen both in his own country
and throughout the world. He is too high
ly gifted with sense, patriotism, courage
and selErespect ever 10 place himself in
such a category, or be forced into il by
others.

THE Cincinnati Gazette is of the "GoD

FoRREsTs letter in regard to the proposed
Conservative Convention in this city, it
styles that gentlemen, the "Fort Pillow
butcher" In the same paragraph it con-
graduates its Radical and piously inclined
people, and chuckles over the fact that the
cholera is prevailing in Nashville, and pre-
venting the assembiage OF the Convention.
By all known means Of Judging, how viii
stand the respective accounts at the great
assizes of the hereafter, of the soldier who
slew his enemies in battle, and Of the miser-
able and cowardly hypocrite who welcomed

nifty, as a means of promoting political
ends ?
