WASHINGTON, December 10.-As stated in
last nights dispatches, It is the intention of
the administration to try and break up
democratic rule In the Southern States, fol-
lowing up the success Of the movement in
Virginia. As confirmation of that state
ment, it may be mentioned as a political
TACT that arrangements are being made to
invade Tennessee and wrest it from the
democracy. The whole bent OF
the stslwart element of the
Republican party and Of the administration
VIII be In that direction. The cry has gone
Iorfh that Tennessee must be captured by
the Republicans, and every effort is being
made 70 induce the fulfllment of the crv
The stslwsrt wing of the Republican parfy
is rallying to II. All that the stalwarts and
the administration can do to secure the
overthrow OF the Democracy in Tennessee
vii be accomplished without scruple.
Ii is also noticeable fact that the stall
warts are patting Emory Speer, OF Georgia,
on the back and urging him on to become
the Malone Of Georgia. But &c is to be
placed TO the credit OF the political sagaeity
Uf the stalvarts and the administration that
they do not expect any immediate fruit
from Georgia. They only want Mr.. Speer to
inaugurste the endeavor
Their first objective point is Tennessee,
and after thai they propose to pounce upon
Arkansas Then, If successful, ttey will
devote themselves to other States, being
guided In their actions by the consideration
as to where the chances, as fully weighed,
seem best.
Mr.. Mcpherson, Clerk of the House of
Representatives to-day, promoted John
dley, late Disbursing Clerk, to be Chief
Clerk 10 his Office
The President IN dav fnfornnad fhaoonor,ft
tee appointed by YtheRepublican caucus ofthe
Virginia Legislature TO wait upon him, that
on general principles he was always In favor
OF Republicans, but the coalition formed IN
Virginia changed the state of affairs there
and he declined to interfere one way or the
other.
The Secretary Of State, with the approval
of the President, will very soon make pub
lie all the instructions sent by the depart
ment to Ministers Hurlbut and Fitzpatrick
10 regard 10 the difficulties between Chilli,
Peru and Bolivia.

head of these North Carolina Republicans.
They think that they can effect the defeat
of the Democracy in their State-Of course.
always wi b the aid Of the administration.
Cameron encouraged this idea, and gave
to Keogh & Co. all Of the benefit of his re-
cent successful campaign I'm Virginia.
1t is known that ex Representative Wad-
dell, of North Carolina, who is Democrat,
has been made very iatterfDg offers by the
Republican managers to head the proposed
anti Democratic raid in North Carolina, and

Post Roads.
Secretary Blaine to day made public the
letters of instruction sent to our Ministers
TO Peru and Chill last summer. The letters
are both dated Washington, June 18Th.
To General Hurlbut, at Lima, Secretary
Blaine says that IL Hurlbut found a willing
mss on the part of the Gillian
authorities then in possession of Peru
TO facilitate the establishment of
| a provisional government by Calderon, he
should do all he could to encourage the
| Peruvians to accept any reasonable condi-
/ tiOns and limitations which might accom-
/ pany this concession. He expresses the
/ hope that Hurlbut might be able to impress
upon the Gillian authorities that the more
liberal and cOnsiderate their policy the surer
/ il would be to obtain lasting and sstisfac-
tory settlement He suggests that the para
mount objects OF the provisional govern
ment of Peru should be to secure
/ the establishment of constitutional
/ government, and next TO succeed
in opening negotiations Tor peace without q
i declaration of the preliminary conditions as
an ultimatum on either side. Also that
Peru might fairly embrace the oppor unity
/ to make propositions OF indemnity and
| guarantees before submitting to a cession
/ Of territory.
The influence of the United States with
| Chill would be eXerted 10 induce the Chill
aus to consent that the question Of a cession
| of territory should be a subject OF negOtia-
tiOD, and not a condition precedent upon
which alone negotiations should commence.
| The Secretary closes by stating that it is the
desire of the United States to act in a spirit
Of the sincerest friendship TO the three re-
Dublics. Chill, Peru and BOlivis, and to use
their influence in the interest Of en- honor
/ able and lasting peace.
To General fitzpatrick, at Santiago, the
S. cretsry wrote that it was evident that
Chilli was disposed to dictate and not dis
cuss the terms Of peace, and without a.
tempting to estimate the extent to which
| the Chilian Government has right to carry
IT'S calculations of the indemnity to
| which it might be entitled, nor
the security for the future, which its in
terests might seem to REQUIRE, the Secretary
| thought that II the Chilis1 Government
seeks only guarantees for future peace, it
would seem natural that Peru and Bolivia
shOuld be allowed 10 Offer such indemnity.
and guarantee before an annexation OF ter
ritory is insisted upon. If these powers failed
to offer reasonably sufficient guarantees
then It would become 9 fair subject of con-
sideration whether such territory might not
be exacfed as a Necessary price OF peace.
.'To make" the Secretary adds, las con
stituent OF a war avowedly not of conquest,
the acquisition of territory a sine qua non of
peace, Is calculated to cast suspicion on the
profession with which war was originally
declared"
He closes by expressing the hope that the
negotiations for peace between Chilli and
Peru will be conducted to final settlement
without either side invoking the aid Of any
European power, and with the assurance
that the United States seeks only
to perform the office of a friend to
all the parties to the unhappy conh!ct
between the South American Republics, and
that the United States would regret TO be
compelled 10 consider how far that feeling
might be affected and a more active inter
position forced upon it by any attempted
complication of this question with European
politics.
