From the Washington Evening Star. Letter from Gen. Henningsen. Washington Citv, D. C., Dec. 21, 1857. Sir : In conformity with your desire, I enclose some notes on Central American affairs. \ r ou will perceive, from their perusal, that the bulk of the population is Indian. At) Indian race, however, in no wise resemb.ing the Indian of our Northern continent, who is a nomade, a hunter, and a sav age ; but the same people found by the Spanish conquerors —sedentary, agricultural, industrious, patient and superstitious —and who had built large cities and raised stupendous tsmpies, on whose altars smoked, indeed, the blood of human vic tims. This Indian race, the only portion of the population which labors and produces, amounts to from two-thirds to three-quarters of the whole population. It has never had any share in gov ernment; but is periodically torn from its peacefu avocations to fight the battles of the mixed race in their incessant revolutions. The mixed race consists of Spanish, Indian, and negro biood, mingled and re-intermingled in every imaginable variety and degree. It may be consul ered, as for the most part, in a state of moral and physical degeneracy. A large majority are born with the hereditary taintofdisea.se. Their lead ing men are incurable tactiomsts incapable of free government—showing, indeed, the same plausibili ty in writing proclamations and in diplomacy as the Chinese, but without the practical sagacity to raise or manage even a saw mill. The decay of cities, of industry, and population, and the aban donment of plantations and of mines, everywhere attest the rapid decline of the countries they have controlled. Yet I have no hesitation in putting on record my conviction that, in a few years after Cen tral America is Americanized, as some day it it, evitably will be, its crops of sugar and coffee will approach or equal that of Cuba now, whilst its mineral products will fall little short of those of California at present. When I say Americanized, J use a term by which, with an instinct prophetic of their destiny, the Spanish and mixed races des ignate the political predominance of the people of this Union. The climate of those regions is at least as healthy for emigrants from the United Suites as that of Georgia or South Carolina ; and those emigrants are not affected by the epidemics which decimate the native populations. Yel, if, by any convulsion of nature, all communication could be cut off be tween the United States and those countries, I am satisfied that in half a century, and probably less this mixed race would be wiped out by the Ciiris ized Indian, and the Christianized Indian in turn subjugated and assimilated by the Pagan Indian.— Years ago, in Guatemala, which alone contains half the population of Ceniral America, the mixed race would have been exterminated but tor the ac cident that Carrera, himself an Indian, can control the Indians, and was gained over by the clergy and a few families who have bowed to the savage des potism of a man, on the accident of whose life de pends the exile of their race. Back of these so called Christianized Indians are heathen Maya Indi ans, who will as surely absorb them as they will the. mixed races. Already these Mayas have rava ged’ Yucatan with impunity. They are ravaging it now. In Mexico, the savage is everywhere en croaching on its effete civilization. In this mixed race, under various denominations of party, is a class ot revolution mongers, who have brought those regions to their present condition ; and they are determinately opposed to the Americanization of the country. A majority, however, see in it the only prospect ot stable government or luture secu rity for life and property. In Nicaragua, after the Spaniards were driven out, as everywhere in Cen tral America, a Democratic party predominated; but in the reaction consequent on iheir excesses, the Servile party obtained the ascendancy, lost it, and again resumed it through an interminable se ries of revolutions, (sixieen governments having succeeded each other within six years,) always in diminishing minority, till dwindled down to a mere faction, it is, or recently was, temporarily estab lished under Martinez. That is to say, Martinez drew men and resources from about one-third of the country. The Servile party, consisting originally of the aristoratic families and old employees of the Span ish government, and which itself accepts the name originally given by its opponents, represents what would be represented in the United States by the tories of the war of Independence. As to the legitimacy of President Walkei’s acts and government, without gross misapprehension or misrepresentation of facts, his adversaries may be challenged to show any difference between the cir cumstances under which Lafayette and Kosciusko took part in the struggle for independence here and he in the civil wars of Nicaragua which is nut in his favor. He was duly invited by the Democratic government of Castillon, which had proved, by occupying the whole country, except Granada, that it had the sympathies of the majority. He re paired the subsequent reverses this party had met with. He captured Granada, the sacred city of re action and of the Serviles, and put down all oppo sition. He was elected President by a, large ma jority of voters, almost exclusively the votes of the laboring classes of the population. He defended the Territory gallantly against the simultaneous in vasion by foreign States. He was only temporari ly driven from it by the unauthorized interference of a United States officer. For the position I assumed in a recent commu nication to the Secretary of State, that but for ihe intervention of Capt Davis, Geu. Walker wou'd have marched on Leon—if. indeed, the se go of Rivas would not have been raised—is abundantly cot.finned by the recent message of President M ra, on the 28th ofOc'ober. at San Jose, in which he says specifically, that Walker’s position at Ri vas ‘was really superior to that of the Central Americans,” and that ‘Sn twenty days a dissolu tion of the allied army w.s inevitable.” It is true that Mora attributes to his own sagacity what was accomplised by the interference of Capiait Davis, and by the seizure of ibe sclmoner •(■rt nada, ” The administration through the Secretary of the Navy, has expressed its disapprobation of the seiz ure and surrender of the Granada to the Nicara guans. I beg leave to remark that the Granada .wasgiven up to the Costa Ricans, nut to the Nica raguans. But, sir, the censure of a public ..officer is not the reparation of a public wrong. Tigs in troduction of American civilization and institqtiojke into the Spanish American countries, by pacific colonization or through treaties, all experience shows to be illusory.

F. Henningsen. lion. Alex. H. Stephens. The Arrest &f Walker Repudiated by the Government. Information from Washington is to the effect that Secretary Cass denounces the arrest of Walker and his men by Commodore Paulding, as ille gal, inexcusable and unauthorized and that Com modore Paulding will be court-martialed imme diately. The Commodore’s instructions were in tended only to direct him to prevent Walker’s landing. Asa matter of interest, we subj dn a copy of the circular transmitted to him. The same was sent to the District Attorneys and Mar shals of ihe principal seaport towns: Sir: Fioiri information received at this,dcpaitment there is reason to believe that lawless men are en gaged within the limits of the United States in set ting on foot and preparing the means for military expeditions, to be carried on against the territo ries of Mexico, Nicaragua and Costa Rica—Repub lics with whom the United Slates are at peace — in violation of the sixth section of the act ot Con gress, approved the 20tlt of April, 1818. And un der the eighth section of the said act is made law ful for the President, or such persons as he shall empower, “to employ the. lood and naval forces of the United States and the militia thereof, tor the purpose of preventing the carrying on of any such expedition or enterprise from the Territories or jurisdiction of the United States.” lam, therefore, directed by the President to call your attention to the subject, and to urge you to use all due dili gence, and to avail yourself of all legitimate means at your command to enforce these and all other provisions of the said act of 20th of April, 1818 against those who may he found engaged in setting on toot or preparing military expeditions against the teiritories of Mexico, Costa Rica and Nicar agua, so manifestly prejudicial to the national char acter,and so injurious to the national interest. And you are, also, hereby instructed promptly to com municate to the Department the earlie.-t information you may receive relative to such expedition. 1 am sir your obedient servant, [Signed] Lewis Cass. The Commodore was directed to consider these instructions as addnssed to himself, and to act accordingly. Additional instructions, of the same tenor but more in detail, were sent by the steamer of the 21st inst., but these, of course, he could not have received. The Administration is very em phatic in repudiattt g the octimi of Com. Paulding, and denouncing it as as violation of the sovereign ty of Nicaragua and of the American Constitu tion. Our power over the filibusters, it is held, ceased the moment thev had entered upon the ju risdiction ot a foreign power.— Chronicle & Sen tinel Correspondence of the Courier. Washington, Dec. 29. The fillibuster question is before the Cabinet, and I is likely to embarass them very much. Some of j the members are believed to be very hostile to any i strong and decided measures for sustaining the President’s avowed policy on the subject. All the members ot the Administration unite in censuring the act of Commodore Paulding in sending home Walker and his party. It is not pretended that Com. Paulding had any other instructions than to intercept Walker on the sea and to prevent the landing of his reinforcements. Messrs. Brown, Thompson and Cobb are said to disapprove even of these instructions. Com. Paulding’s despatches were brought this morning by Capt. Engle, and are now* belore the Cabinet for consideration. I learn that Capt. Engle explains that the orders were considered sufficient lo justify the Commo dore in breaking up Walker’s expedition, even af ter he iiad landed. Walker occuiied a small point of land, whence he was to move tor the purpose ol invading the territory of States with which we were at peace, contrary to the neutrality laws, which the navy was to enforce. This will, no doubt, be t the explanation on the part of Com. Paul dmg. It appears certain that Com. Paulding has ex ceeded his instructions, and is probable that he may be reprimanded tor it. Com. Porter was brought totrial and suspended for his expedition against the pirates ofFoxhardo, though hew r as in hot pur suit of pirates, and trad been sent out to break up their nests. It is not supposed that the affair will lead to the abrogation or modification of Hie neutrality laws as wilt be propo-ed by Gen Quitman, ot Mississippi. That measure is not likely to prevail. But still much fault may be found with the course of the Administration on the subject. Walker assumes that he has violated no neutral ity or other law of the United States in his return to Nicaragua, of wbich State he is a citizen, and of which he desires to be the legal Executive.— He demands red.ress and indemnity from the Gov ernment. He is of course loath to be tried upon the charge pfa breach of the neutrality laws. Instructions are yet to be given, however, to an U. S. Attorney for his prosecution under the law. The Kansas Lecompton Cotistimtion, with ihe slavery article, has been adopted by a majority of the voters, at the polls, on the 21st Dee. This plays into the hands ot Douglas, and embarrasses the President. The southern men will insist that their northern Democratic associations shall toe the mark or break up the party. The South will listen to no compromise of the matter. The Nor thern Democrats must follow either the President or Senator Douglas.

[Correspondence N. Y. Herald.] Washington, Dec. 31.1857- The Cabinet had a long session to-day. The principal subject belbre them, was, I understand, the conduct ofCotnmodore Paulding. I am lead to believe, from the lights before me, that the ad ministration will, under the circumstances, endorse the course pursued by Pauid ttg; for, under the re. cent treaty the government pledged itself to protect and secure the neutrality of the Nicaagua Transit route; and upon this view of the subject the Com modore’s course will be fully justified, and if I am n and greatly mistaken instructions will be sent to Com. Paulding to keep tha. route open, whether blockaded by filibusters or what not. It is believed by the Cabinet that Nicaragua had ratified the new treaty, though no official com munication had been received on the subject. It is charged that Paulding’s letter to the de partment contains several positive falsehood-. He says ‘Walker “captured goods of merchants in t ansit to the interior, killed men, and made pris oner of peaceful inhabitants,” &e. General Wal ker says there is not one word of truth in either of these grave charges. The river having been block aded by Costa Rica, no goods were in transit to the interior . nor was there a single man killed in the capture of Fort Castillo, while the wonen on the steamer Morgan were camp followers—lhe other prisoners being Costa Rican soldiers, and not “peaceful inhabitants.” General Walker has had no intimation vet, as to the intentions of the government towards himself and his men. Southern members still crowd his rooms, and promise to see him fully indemnified. Dispatches and letters pour in upon him from all sections of the South, extending sympathy aud offer ingmaterial aid. various reports are in circulation as to what Gen. Walker intends to do, none of which are true. He will wail until Congress meets, when I am satisfied, propositions will be submitted by Sou'lt em members which will meet his approbation. But they will all fail, for they have not the strength to carry ther filibustering through Congress. Mark hat. The Cabinet Sustain Paulding, Toomb's and Quit man's Preposed Resolutions. [Special despatch to Evening Post.] Washington, Jan. 2, 12 45 p. m.—The Cabinet has at lasi taken ground that Walker was inter rupting the transit route. The fire-eaters are ter ribly enraged. Toombs, in the Senate, and Quit man, in the House, will offer motions on Monday against the Cabinet policy, aud defend Walker. Nicaragua Meeting in New Orleans. New Orleans, Dec. 31. There is a great Nic aragua demonstration here to night. Resolutions were adopted denouncing Com. Paulding, and de manding that the United Slates Government shall restore Gen. Walker to Nicaragua.

JeLciion Da vis, embodied in the following remarks the whole argument upon the Kansas issue, completely ex ploding the rigmarole of humbug and shallow soph istry in which Douglas and his Black Republican confederates have indulged : “Mr. Davis. Mr. President, I think it is prema ture to discuss the message. Ido not propose to do so. The remarks of the two honorable Senator’s on my right seem to be directed entirely to the ac tion of the convention, and to the phrase about the people being left free to form their institution in their own way. I could scarcely institute an ar gument on a proposition so plain as that the people may act either by popular vote or through their delegates; and it is a denial of sovereignty to the people to say they have not the power to elect their delegates, and to invest them with authority to form an instrument which shall be binding on the body politic. These they might choose by popular vote, and settle the whole question. They did choose to have delegates in convention. They might, if they had so chosen, have directed these delegates to re fer the question back to them; and so might the body—politic direct tbe Legislature to submit every act to a popular vote. It rests on them to decide one way or the other. I do not understand the doctrine to the extent of the remarks that are made.” The Missouri Republican, ofSaturday morning, Dec. 27th, has the following leading article: The election in Kansas lias terminated, as every body expectsjl it would after tiie agitators refused to take any part in tlte contest, in a majority rote for the ‘‘Constitution with slavery.” Governor Denver has assumed the government of the Terri tory, by virtue of his office of Secretary of State, in the absence of the Governor, and has issued anad dress setting forth the policy which lie intends to pursue, and the instructions under which he is ac ting. Lane’s band of ragamuffins, organized under a law of a Legislature assembled for an entirely different purpose, and in direct violation of the organic law of the Territory, are preparing to over awe the people, first seizing on the arms in the Arsenal at Lecompton ; and threats are even made to carry the war into Missouri. The intelligence from Fort Scott is of a most painful character, taking the mildest accounts which we have from that quarter ; and if the worst are true, there is no telling what will be the end of these tioublds. Gov. Denver says in his address that Gen. Cal houn, President of the Convention, has invited him to be present at the counting of the votes on the P. H. COLQUITT, E lit or*. Constitution—showing, beyond ali question, that he is desirous for a fair count, and this ought to quiet the nerves of those fastidious gentiemen who are always dreadfully apprehensive about such tnatierß, unless the fruits of the dishonesty are likely to ensure to their own benefit. The Washington Correspondent of the Phila delphia Press says: “it was wisely said to Mr. Buchanan, a few days a o, by a gentleman w hose opinion he asked as to tiie best remedy for the Kansas trouble: ‘Change tne programme ; substitute Cuba lor Kansas, arid the ()staid manifesto lor the Lecompton Conven tion.’ The President smiled and brightened up at an idea wh ch went home to one oi his warmest feelings and aspirations. All ihe troubles, disagree ments and misadventures that may occur to him, in an Administrate n which begins already to bean eventful one, will be lorgotten in the splendor of tiie realization of the aim and object of the (Jstend Manifesto—the acquisition of that magnificent pos session, ‘Cuba querida.’ ” The Tennessee Bank Bill. File feennte Bill of the Tennessee Legislature has passed to its third reading in the House, and was returned to the Senate with some slight amend ments. As there was no quorum in that body, the consideration is suspended till alter the holidays. The Nashville Union says, however, that it will doubtless pass the Senate substantially as it now stands. The provisions of this bill are—first, that the suspended banks shall resume specie payments on nr before the Ist of Jan., 1859, that after Ist July, 1858, no banks shall emit or circulate bills of less denomination than five dollars, and after the Ist Janury, 1859, of a less denomination than ten dol lars ; that from the passage of this act no bank, in dividual or institution, dealing in money or ex change, shall be permitted to pay out for circula tion the notes of any unchartered corporation or association, nor shall any bank pay out any notes except its own or those of its branches; that no bank shall dispose of gold or silver, or notes of any bank whatever, for any premium or discount what ever, and it is expressly declared that ant traffic in legal currency or uticurrent bank notes is not in tended 1q be granted by the charters; that no div idends shall be paid during suspension, except the dividends of the Bank of Tennessee, or tur stock owned by the State in the Union and Planters’ Banks ; that no bank shall pay interest or any c n sideration tor money depo.-i ed with them ; and • tha’ no bank, while in a state of suspension, sit.ll sell exchange upon any place iu the United Slates for a higher p-emium that two per cent. 2d. Requires each suspended bank, within forty days, to file with the Comptroller General its ac ceptance of the above provisions as a part of its charier; that on the failure to do so, the . roper le gal steps shall immediately be taken lo have its charter forleited and annulled, and its affairs wound up; and after acceptance, any failure to comply with these provisions shall be deemed cause lor forfeiture, and the proper legal steps shad be re sorted to to send the bank into liquidation, th ef fects to be applied, first, to the payment ol is note or biil-li-dders ; secondly, to the payment of its de positors and other creditors pro rata; and if after payment of aii the liabilities of such bank, and all the costs ot its liquidation, tlieie remains any sur plus, it shall be paid to tiie stockholders of the bank or those entitled to the same. 3d. That any President or employee of the bank, who shall kuowiugly violate its charter or any of its amendments, remove or secrete its effects, or conceal its debts or liabilities, for the purpose of defeating the judgment of the courts, or defraud ing cr -ditois, shad be guilty of a high misdemeanor, subject to a fine ot SIOOO, and to imprisonment of not less than one nor more than six mouths. 4th. That the Act of February, 1852, be repeal ed, so jar as to take away from any corpora ion or individuals the power of creating any new banking institution or company ; and so far as to prohibit any bank now in existence from increasing its cap ital stock or its circulation. 5 h. That quarterly reports, verified by oath of Presidents and Cashiers, be made to the Comptrol ler General, giving full and complete statements of all the affairs of the banks, and which shall be published in one of the leading papers of Nash ville, and also in one paper of the’ county or town where the bank is located, to commence with the acceptance of the provision of this cct, 6th. “That the Hank of Tennessee shall, by the first of Jan., 1859, re-apportii n and divide the cap ital stock among her several branches, so as to make equal the amount of capital receivable by said branches respectively, according to the provision of her charter. Provided, such re apportionment shall not tike place until tiie stock of the State in the Union and Planter’s Banks transferred to the Bank ol Tenessee, is sold and its proceeds received; but the amount lost of the capital stock of the pa rent bank or any branch bank shall be discounted out of the sum they would be entitled to receive under this section, it no such loss has accrued to such parent bank or branch bank.” 7th. That no bank shall pay out any bank note not on its race payable at the counter whence it is issued. Provided, that no parent or branch bank, shall be proht ited from paying out each other’s respectively, after they have once been issued at their ow n counter. Bth. Thai nothing in this act shad repeal or is intended to repeal, or affect the rights of the note holders, or depositing creditors of banks, as they now are by existing laws. A Virginian of Olden Time. —ln itis new biog raphy ot tiie illustrious author of the Declaration of Independence, Mr. Randall furnishes the follow ing information of Peter Jefferson, the father. His was a man of gigantic stature—plain, and averse to display; he was grave, taciturn, slow to m ike and not over prompt to accept advances.— He was one of those calmly and almost ste nly self—relying men who lean on none, who desire help from none; and he certainly ba i both mus cles and mind which could be tru-ted. He could simultaneously “head up” (raise from the r sides to an uptight position) two hogsheads of tobacco, weighing nearly a thousand pounds apiece! He once directed three able bodied slaves to puli down a ruinous shed by means of a rope. After t hey had again and again made tiie effort lie bade them stand aside, seized the r ‘pe and dragged do vn the structure in an instant.
