Peru.-Chile--Atcaragua--Ecundor

When such small troubles as the resuscita-
ton of the South the payment of the national
debt, the development of the negro into
an industrious worker, and the reconcilia-
ton of interest Of North, East, South and
West are &C c:omplished the grand Government
of the United States-whether Republican or
! Monarchial-will begin ir earnest that terrific
rial expansion, which Is nut to stop until the
same rule is acknowledged from the North
Pole to Cape Horn. The United States are
TO have two hundred millions of inhabi-
tants, varying in color from the bleached
American to the swarthy African, and enli-
vened by the copper tint of the savage, and
the yellow skin of the Chinese laborer. This
future is as tremendous as belief that the
sun nav be e1tinguished by steam fire en-
CINE and is, to the full, as certain to be real
ICED. But, whatever the stability Of our 'oas-
ties in America" our torn, distracted and jun
bled up South American neigh hoors must be
neither overlooked nor forgotten. They are
rehearsing the bloody deeds of the Kilkenny
cats and, when they have left naught but
tale behind them, it will be pleasant to look at
their condition as it appeared in the year OF
Grace 1857
PERU-Military assassinations are the order
Of the day, and cloaks and stilettoes the order
of the night. Panic reigns. and the malcon-
tents emulate the deeds of CoRALEs MELGAR,
who killed seven officers with his own bloody
hand. In Puno the gendarmes revolted, killed
all their officers, and then, with slashed stock
ines, feathered hats, and watches and chains
innumerable, began jolly life as pillagiDg'
numbering bandits. In Trujello the troops
killed the Prefect, and installed in his place
rettifogging lawyer, who at once issued pro-
clamation of death against concealers OF arms
and absentee officers. Fort: fcation Fire
arms. and Fighting are the watchwords OF the
time. and the whole State is rapidly going 20
the dogs.
CH1LE.-The revolt ia Arequipa has caused
sensation, and it is proposed to send troops TO
Peru to prevent the Revolutionists from up
setting the Prado Government. This rumor
made the blood of the Limans boil, and they
vowed that if Chile ventured to wag her en-
ger against their beloved country, they would
gobble her up, and pitch her into the ocean.
plan is on foot for building railroad ocross
the Andes, German being the contractor.
The dryness Of the season, and heavy e1porta-
tions of wheat and -four, have caused great dis
tress; and Yankee aud Chilean have asked
to be declared the discoverers Of large depo-
sit Of guano, Offering to disclose the secret Of
its location, like Mr.. TRAPBoIs, "for consi-
dera,ion." Prince ALFRED is expected in Val
par .iso; and the friends of roast beef and bit
ter beer are in fever accordingly.
CENTRAL AMERIcA.-In Costa Rica, an at
tempted revolution has ''come to grief" In
Salvador, the Government is improving the
roads, and importing machinery, and the i'm
port Of indigo has commenced. Nicaragua has
concluded treaty with the United States.
EouADoR-There has been quarrel be-
tween President and Congress. In September
several Congressman were arrested by the
President on suspicion of being engaged in a
revolution This was condemned by the Leg
islature, which formed Judiciary Committee,
and recommended the impeachment of the
President, and that the session be declared
permanent The Executive sent q body of
troops into the capitol, but afterwards with
drew Them. Then, Committee of Conference
was appointed, the President gave in, the OBJ
no1ious Home Secretary BusTAMENTE sent in
his resignation, the imprisoned Congressman
we're released, ard the political horizon Of
Ecuador was clear once more. This little
State has population of about half million;
the United States has sixty times IS much;
yet something may be learned from an insig-
nifcant neighbor, and Eucador may have been
the straw to show which way the winds will
blow, in the big g-domed Capitol at Washington.
