mtiOn in Panama-tailroad Accident.
PANAMA, August g. 1858.
Since my last matters remain in saut Q,oo as re-
CARDS the revolution. The steamer Montijo left here
on the 3lst nit. 10 convey General Ponce and his
1orces from Neraguos TO Chirgui, the only depart
Rent which yet remains unsubjugated by the revo-
Ruonists There is no doubt, however, that il VIII
~ once follow the course pursued by Veraguos and
acknowledge the Provisional President rather than
resort 10 war. In Panama good deal OF uneasiness
- felt lest an outbreak may among the revo-
RoDary party Itself on the return OF General Ponce
u appears that Colonel Correoso, who has always
been aspiring To the Presidency ana who was left
here by Ponce Military Governor, IL taking every
means TO strengthen his party with the view it
n supposed of declaring himself at the head OF the
government. Correoso has great deal OF influence
ever She colored port on OF the population or the
residents Outside the walls, which by FAR the most
DainerOus class. These are the people who consti-
tHte the militia, and from among them both the men

has taken charge Of the military department OF the
city II appears ne has sent all the arms and ammu.

Sepi what is required for immediate use, SO that
everything in the way OF war material is entirely
uDder his control. And IL is more than likely that
Intention To declare himself President are well
sounded. To add 10 the general uneaslness IL is be-
keHed that IN the course of couple ofweeks General
M0squera Will return from his punishment IN Peru
and once more declare himself Dictator. and IL is not
Improbable that Correoso, who is strong partisan
Of his, Is working under his orders. should these
ssspcions prove correct we may ook for lively times
here during the next few months. These constant
outbreaks have So impoverished the State that IL IL

ssst TO the country.
Another accident fatal In its conseauences has &C.
CURED on the railroad. While the afternoon train
was coming from Aspnwal the 18th INST. the
engine got OF the track and turned regular sum-
mersault down the embankment, dragging four
freight cars on the rails. An engineer named Edwin
Hicks, Of Danville Me-. and a coored fireman were
ooth killed aud the engineer OF the tram badly
wounded. Hicks was employed a. engineer on the
nya tram at Panama, but had changed or
With the engineer OF the road to take the
eMn to Aspinwal that morning and was
returning az passenger. The only cause have
beard assigned for the accident was owing 10 some
thlng wrong with the rails but ~ there IN
enicfa investigation Of such occurrences here the
us'iroad employees do not think 1t necessary enter
hit0 explanations merely 10 satisfy idle curiosity
and II any inquiry IL made In reference thereto NJ is
BOXED upon az a sort OF npudent meddug in what
pertains exclusively to the business Of the ROAD. I
~ not say that this accident was In any way the
sst OF neglect: II may have been one OF these
1DreseeD occurrences that cannot be guarded against
especially at season when constant heavy are
falling; still u would be matter OF satisfaction
1urnish some reason 10 the public to the cause
and might save unpleasant comments being made on
the management Of the road.
One OF the party OF the Cocos islands expedition OF
which spoke Ia my last, has turned up. The party
could not nnd the Island, and. running short OF sup
plies, put into Punta Arenas. and after some delay
made fresh start for the field of their adventures.
