CAPT. .IONEPH FRY.
( OM nni N, UEOKiilA:
SUNDAY NOVEMBER 30, 1873.
How many men, this Mossed Sabbath
morning, finish their attiro in onr city by
sticking a pistol in their pants, or abowie
knife in thoir coats? Well, not ono. No
man who laid claims to being a man would
do it; and blackguards are never consid
ered men bv good citizens.
There is only ono paper on our list of
MchangeH that does not approve our de
nunciation of the cowardly habit of carry
ing arms, and that paper is a little, pover
ty-stricken, brainless and consumptive
sheet, that is a proper exponent of the
shouting lire eaters. It has won its igno
minious right to object by soiling itself,
body and soul, to defend the meunest of
unhung murderers. Oh, Opoliku.

From a few months' intimate acquaint

from his lips a few incidents of his life.
He was born in Florida, and served many
years in tho United Slates navy ; from
the laftor ho resigned to join the Confed
eracy, in which ho held tho rank of lieut
enant. As such ho served on the Missis
sippi, first under tho command and on
the flag ship of Commodore Hollins at
Orleans. After tho fall of that city he
had command of a gun-boat, which the
FerU-r.il fleet drove into ono of the smaller
Western rivers—the White, I think—and
finding it impossible lo save her ho burn

The Castelar Cabinet has agreed to
surrender tho Virginias, and salute the
United States flag at her poak. Spain will
release all Ainorloan prisoners, and pay
an indemnity to tho widows and orplnu s

Cubans I know nothing, and can only
suppose his povovty and natural love of
adventure combined to bring about bis
murder. Personally lie was a tall, well-
made, handsome man, with tho
most inemuorio oyo J have ever seen,
having grout power of control both over
himself and others. His mind was re
markably good and well cultivated. He
was a deep loader and thinker, fond of
speculating on obtruse subjects, and apt

views. Iu disposition lie was sweet but
firm-tempered ; a true friend and a strong
enemy, not given, porlinpu, to a large cir

Washington, November 2!).—The ne
gotiations between tho United States and
Spain with regard to the captnre of the
Virginins wero brought to a conclusion
to-day, Secretary Fish and Admiral Polo
having agreed upon and signed a protocol,
which the latter soon after telegraphed to
his Government.
As conflicting statements have appeared
in the newspapers regarding intelligence
received last night, uu^ also to-day, it can
now be positively stated that the tortus
are substantially us follows :
First, The immediate delivery to the
United States of the ship Virginins, and
all the surviving passengers and crow.
Second, A salute to our flag on tho 25th
of December next, unless in tho mean
time, Spain shall satisfy tho United Stales
that tho American flag was improperly
borne on that vessel; and further, that
she had no right to tho American ling or
Amoricau papers, in this event tho salute
is to bo withdrawn, nud Spain is to form
ally disclaim any intentional indignity to
the ting in tho acts committed by Spain
against tho Virginins.
Third, If it shnll thus bo shown
tho Virginins had no right to
carry tho Amoricau flag and pa
pers, the United Stotos will institute
proceedings against tho vessel mid tho
surviving party,who have violated tho laws
of tho United Staten, and Spain guaran
tees to institute proceedings against uny
of her authorities who may have vio
lated either tho law or trnaty stipulations.
Fourth, Tho matterjof tho reclamations
for damages is rosorvod for future consid
eration.
Til addition to tho above it con also ho
positively stated that within tho next
two days Secretary Fish and tho Spanish
Minister will determine tho port nt which
the Virginius nud the surviving passengers
and crew shall bo delivorod to tho United
States. Tho words, “immediate reloaso,”
ns applicable of tho Virginius and tho
surviving passengers and crew, implies,
of course, a reasonable time for its exo-
outiou, us some days must olapso boforo
Havana nud Santiago do Cuba can
roachod. Tho agreement is rogardod
official quarters ns covoring all tho points
of our original demands, though in a mod
ifiefi form, while it is considered respect
ful and honorable to both countries.
Tho fixing of the 25th of December
the time for saluting our Hug, is to allow
tho necessary opportunity to Spain to
show that tho Virginius improperly
riod tho Amoricau flag und Atnorican pa
pers.
There is a Ronsiblo rolief in all quarters
that tho negotiation has thus peaceably
ended.
Both Secretary Fish and Admiral Polo
liavo, for two weeks past, been engaged
in producing this result, for which they
receive the congratulations of thoir re
spective friends.
mands made by the United States. These
demands, as heretofore, were ns follows:
The Terms.
First—The release of the officers and
crew of the Virginins yet living.
Second—The return of tho Virginius.
Third—To salute the flag, and make
provision for the families of the slain
captives.
The only reservation on the part of
Spain is with reference to firing the
salute. To enable further interference to
bo made, the date for this salute has been
fixed at the 25th of December.
To provide against the contingency of
the Spanish Government not being able
to enforce tho promises made, work on
naval construction is not to he inter
rupted.
Additional to tlic Times.
The Times' dispatch, in addition to the
above, says: Spain also ogreos to bring to
trial aud punishment the officers who por-
potrated the horrible butchery.

consulted with tho powers of Europe, and
was informed by all of them that repara
tion was duo for the capture of the stoaiu-
er aud execution of tho captivos. The
