Dates.from Lima are to the Mtli of .November. Affairs hi Peru weem to have assumed a most appalling condi tion. Pierola's most intimatu and trustworthy friend , Gen. Caeeroa. has also forsaken him and declared him self superior genoral'and political and military chief of the departments of thuCuutreinaproclanntionontha2lth of November. In tins proclamation Gen. C.icuros states his action in as suming tlio otliue was guided Holely by the desire to promote that union. in the country which ho considered .necessary for its success and to destroy the poworof 1'iorola , which had become in element of discord. Aa a matter of course , Caceros is actuated solplv by personal motives. He in disgusted at the success of his former Btiboydi- nates in the south who liuvo seized command in morclmbitabloand profit able regions than those Piorola vliad SttoteuMiint Au'l ho is. 4 oH * disinVftiJifJ to surrender Montero. From * 'the southern departments there is noth ing new , although they are all in a ferment. Mas holds Yea , and will not desert Picrola finally ; he will have to proclaim himself now that all huvo deserted his beloved chief. Suargo and Laporro had left Arequi- pa for Ayacuchos with troops to capture any Piorolaists there might bo in Ayacuchos. Neither of these two leaders nor San llainon , prefect of Arequipa , will obey either Caoerous or Montcro , nor will those latter obey the former , so there are really three different powers serving the interior. The following letter of Minister Hurlburt is causing quite : i Honsut.km in L'eru : "To Notables of Lima : < $ GKNTUMKN : At your request , I make the follow ing declaration : " "Firstly.--Tho" _ United States of America is firmly in favor of the cessa tion of hostilities between Chili and Porn , and the prompt ro-eat.iblwh- ment of peace. "Secondly. The United States of America has decided to oppose all dismemberment ot Peru , except with the free and full consent of the na tion. "Thirdly. They are of the opinion that Chili has acquired as the result the war the right to warindomineritly , and that Peru c.innot refuse such pay ment. The government of Chilti knows that these are the ideas of the United States , but divisions which exist in Peru paralyze the good offi ces of the United States , , and give a pretext to Chili to elude the action of the l/niteu States in conformity with our desires , and to prolong the Htato of military occupation of Peru. Chili says : 'Wo also desire peace , but there is no one hero competent to arrange it. ' This declaration is un fortunately Iruo. For this state of affairs the only remedy is to defend in Peru itself the union under whosoever may bo elected , which will destroy the pretext of Chili , and give to the United States the advantage which it requires , and ot which it will know how to take advantage. In my opinion nothing also will savu the country from military occupation by Chili. Peru must save itself by a sacrifice of personal ambitions on the altar of the redumption of the coun try."I "I remain , gentlemen , yours very truly , 8. A. Hujunur. " Rumors are to the effect that the Chileans intend sending an army into Arequipa from Matlento , commanded by ( Jen. Lagoo. and another from Libna through the interior to the same city under command of Gen. Lynch , whoso successor in the command of the forces in Lima ( Col. Guna ) has already arrived. On the 1st of December the Chilean civil tribunals were to bo installed in Luna and Callao. A number of Pe ruvians have been appointed justices of the peace. Several young men of good stand ing in Lima have been arrested for complicity in the burglary of the house of Honor Loiua Feircyros , con- aul general of Bnuil , in id which ro > suited in that gentleman's dying from the wounds then received. Bounties are being paid in Chili to soldiers who enlist for nor vice in Peru. Gen. Snavidra , the Chilean , bus suggested to the Argentina Republic government the two republic * should act jointly against the Indians nnd drive them southward to the Great Arancaman plain * . A fight took ploco at Hnwos be tween Coldt-ronisU nnd Piorolaistrt , resulting in levoral being killed on each side. Th United States atoamor Alnaka has arrived at Valparaiso.

About 11 o'clock yesterday forenoon attention was drawn to the inner office of the postoflice by loud shrieks from a woman. Two or three moil rushed in nnd discovered George Trav erse , the husband of the postmistress , in the act of plunging a knife into his wife's bosom. Traverse was seized and as thin was done he made a wicked clash at his throat with the knife , cutting a gash about two inches long. Mra. Traverse was found to have been stabbed five times , of which one cut in the left breast was the most severe. She was iminodi ately rendered surgical aid , and it is not thought the wounds are fatal. Traverse did not inflict norious injury on himself when he cut his throat. Ho was taken in charge by the offi cers , and afterwards taken to Lincoln. The cause of the trouble is supposed to have been jealousy. Traverse loft his family some years ago and returned recently. During his absence Mrs. Trnvorso was appointed postmistress , which office she now holds. Traverse In believed to bo entirely in fault , and groundlessly jcaloim. The Jeannette.

Twenty days are re quired to cet there , but , as those who went to the rescue started thioudays ago the time necessary to find the party and hring them back to Yakuts- ka will bo about two .months.
