The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1868-01-03


frhe following, and other similar for.
eign letters recently published, are
compiled for us In New York from ad
Vices received at that port.l
LIMA, December ii, 1857.
The situation OF the BelliRerents In
the South is the same as when we wrote
last. Colonel Prado was, ON the 1lth
inst, to have mounted a 6S FOUNDER
which, with no little difficulty, was car.
ried TO his camp. Another one of 800
was on his way from Italy to Arequipa,
but as the road is not one OF the best,
Il was advancing very slow, and be-
sides an insurreCtion having broken
out In Toronto, produced new difficult
ties for the conveyance of 1t. Relying
on the opinion OF our correspondent,
who Is well informed in the plans and
measures adopted by Col. PradO, the
latter will not attack the rebel town
until the 300 FOUNDER reaches the camp
but this can not take place before a
mouth's time.
Many letters received by last mail
from CnzeO, state that there has also
heensA rise against the government in
Lima, but this Is the Sd or 4th time that
such news has reached us without any
foundation. We are sure that said re-
port is not certain.
Colonel Segura who was not able to
enter ArequipR with the forces he was
bringing from MoqueqUa, being
prevented by the movement made
by Col. Prado, who is reported to
have taken the road to Pune
to overcome San Romans want of de.
cision, and then with his own forces
and those of San Roman return and at
tack General BustRmaute In PAncar-
pRta. This Is, perhaps, good idea,
out We Suspectt that Col. SeyuFa Will NOT
be able to-iuduce San Roman 70 adopt
In the PEesent zsA.'satlElls q decided attt-
t!lSds. san 9t0uun VIII no d6dbt keep
the Department of Pune always ready
to the Government orders, without the
latter being compelled to make any ct.
forts. According to the news received
by the last mail Col. Balkh was advan-
cling towards Guadalupe, for the pur-
pose of taking, by surprise, one-half'0 '0f
the regiment OF HuBsRrs, and next fall
upon Goyburn, who was in PaIjan. II
Is the general opinion that Col. Balta
will be very lucky II by one OF those
skillGul mAnoeuvres he is able to "A vert
the attending risk.
There IA scarcely a province Though
out the republic where there are not
strong bodies OF those mnrauders who
live by plunder and committing all
kinds OF excesses and ravages, and who
Government troops, fight with more or
less success. In Peru neither the
standing army nor the civil guard un-
der their present organization, can be
considered us an element of order and
security. E r. rT- rrrl p
HE. General LaPuerta has given
the proper orders to have a new
bridge built across the Pimac, which
will put the upper part Of the city iu
easy communication with the lower
p. 8. Just as we close this letter we
have received telegraphIc news brought
by the coast steamer from the North,
which had been expected In our city |
with much anxiety. The operations Of |
Colonel Balba, whose strateRical skill !
fnlness is we'll known, having given |
proofs OF it during the present rebel |
lion, may have a final influence on |
the result OF this struggle. Without |
out paying the slightest attention to
the troops under command OF Colonel |
COybuFy and those which had lett |
Lima, with the Secretary Of the War
to interpOse him, he succeeded in ar
Tiving with his command at Pimento |
Of the contending diVisIOns, and seiz-
ing a steamer, sailed with his COM
mand to ports unknown. 1t is more |
than likely that It Is the intention OF
Bulba to take possession OF the capital, |
which 1t would not be difHculL for him |
to do and would be a terrible blow to |
the expeditiOnary forces and the Gov
eminent, inAHmuCh az II would force
the latter to organize 4 new campaign,
even II our troops should be successful
In AfeQuipa.
