The Chilean news received by the Transit a few days since is confirmed by advices brought by the W. H. Dimond. It appears that Chile has made an ample apology to the United States, and it looks as though the war-cloud had ceased to trouble the horizon. There is still time however for the newspapers to work up a new war-scare if not actually a war, and they will doubtless do all that lies in their power in that direction. It appears that young blood in Chile protests most hotly against any submission to the United States, and this is matter enough for a great sensation, so that the steamer Thursday may bring intelligence of a fresh turn of Fortune's wheel.
The unscrupulousness of the American press has been strikingly illustrated by the wanton way in which it has circulated unconfirmed or positively false rumors in regard to a possible war with Chile. If a war had come, it might have been largely due to journalistic levity and recklessness. The good sense of the American people has prevented them from being carried away on a wave of excitement which might have precipitated the country into an unnecessary contest. Great credit seems to be due also to the President and his Cabinet, who as far as can be learned at this writing, have conducted this delicate negotiation with equal firmness, dignity and moderation.
