The Ocminy Session of Oonyress.
The first session of the present Con
gress will open under very different arts
pices from the last. Then the Republi
can party in Congress, confident in their
strength and in the long suffering and in
dulgence of the American people, acted
as if they were not responsible to any
power, either in Heaven or on earth, for
their conduct. They got up and foster
ed jobs, for the benefit of favorites, that
cost millions of dollars to the country
and yet were of no public value. They
screened from just punishment members
of their own body who had been found
guilty of the most infamous crimes.
officials of their party in high po
sition w ere accused of high crimes and
misdemeanors, they appointed commit
tees of their friends, and even partners
in their guilt to try and acquit them.—
They have nearly driven our commerce
from the ocean and suffered the Navy to
decline until there is hardly a ship left fit
to send to sea, when at the same time the
appropriations for the Naval department
"’ere enormously high. They took the
power of banking from the people and at
tempted to manage it by government
banks until the whole financial affairs of
the country are in confusion. Under the
pretence of sustaining manufactures they
established high tariffs by which the peo
ple have been plundered of hundreds of
millions, but the manufacturers thus pro
tected have suspended operations and dis
charged their operatives. And to crown
all this Congress voted themselves double
pay for present, and back pay for past,
services.
A people that would long submit to
such rulers would themselves be unfit for
self-government; but fortunately the
American people have not yet fallen so
iow. Everywhere that they had a chance
to vote this Fall they have voted a want
of confidence in their present rulers. But
the present Congress was elected before
this revolution in public sentiment had
taken place. It is apparent that the ma
jority of the present Congress represent on
ly a minority of the people. Many of the
present Representatives know that they
could not be re-elected from their districts.
This must make them more cautious how
they act. e believe many of them will
set about undoing the evil they have done
and strive to retrieve their character.—
They will feel that the distress and em
barrassment which pervades the country
is the work of their own hands and they
will set about repairing the damage they
have done. If they do this in sincerity it
will be the duty of the Opposition, Dem
ocrats and Reformers, to assist them.—
But if, regardless of the warning they
have received from the people, they go on
in their former system of jobs and plun
der, it will be the duty of the Democrats
and Reformers to combine against them,
and the people will sustain them. The
country w ill expect serious work of this
Congress.
The Difficulty with Cuba.
The last dispatches from Cuba bringing
the startling intelligence of the murder of
Capt. Fiy and the whole crew of the Vir-
ginius seems to have waked up the Ad
ministration and incited them to action.
The Secretary of the Navy has commenced
scorning up his old iron pots and fitting
them for sea. Great activity prevails in
the navy yards at Norfolk, Brooklyn,
Philadelphia and Boston. In a few days
a considerable squadron of ships of war
will be collected at Norfolk, under the
command of Rear Admiral Scott. Even
the old man Fish has at last got his dan
der up, and is scolding the Spaniards
through the telegraph and Gen. Sickles.
The Spaniards are ungrateful to treat
Fish as they have, for he has always stood
their friend until now. But he cannot
stand such wholesale murder as has late
ly been perpetrated at St. Jago de Cuba.
Gen. Grant now has a good excuse to
seize upon Cuba if he wishes to avail him
self of it. He could send Gen. Sherman
to Cuba with 20,000 colored troops, and
they could soon take possession of the is
land, and if theywishedtostay there, why
w r e could spare them. But we don’t think
there will be much of a shower after all.
There will be some wind and perhaps
thunder, but we think the Dons will
apologize and all will be made up.
Hon. Augustus R. Wright thus pre
sents his views in the Atlanta Constitu
tion, on the necessities of a Constitu
tional Convention. The preservation of
order makes a convention a necessity.—
Government cannot be maintained under
our present Constitution and the preva
lent corruption. Mr. Jefferson was cor
rect when he said Republican institutions
required a frequent recurrence to popular
elections. Corruption may pervade the
masses; never so completely, however,
as the men who use them to climb into
power. The present Constitution is the
work mainly of vagabonds and scallawags.
Its purpose, the prolongation of power
to plunder; Government was regarded
by them as a machine with which to rob
capital and oppress labor. We need the
Constitution of our fathers, with a few
restrictions. 1. A prohibition of the
State to go further in debt except in case
of war. 2. A prohibition of her credit
to any corporation or individual for any
purpose whatever. No law can be framed
that will tie the hands of the wicked.—
The fires of hell cannot bind them to
truth and honor. Let the Government
protect us in person and properly, and
leave each man to “work out bin own sal
vation with fear and trembling.” We’ll
bluff the rogues and vagabonds. 3. Cily
corporations must be confined to the po
lice of their cities. Earnest men must
be permitted to control their capital and
labor. Popular votes to build railroads,
waterworks, factories, colleges for relig
ious sects et id omne genus, one-half of
which is composed of Africans “ just out
slavery,” and one-third of the remainder
of scheming Democratic and Radical pol
iticians, will break down ultimately, and
not very remotely, any people upon earth.
4. City and quasi county corporations
should be made to pay as they spend.
6. The judiciary should be thoroughly
remodeled and put beyond the tinkering
of dram-drinking lawyers and lager beer
politicians. 6. The pay of members of
the Legislature should be constitutionally
defined. The idea of our fathers that
the representatives of the people are men
of honor, is not true of this generation.
“Beware of dogs,” is a good maxim in
State as well as church. “Salary grabs’
will continue if you leave the treasury
open. The above suggestions, I think,
are cardinal. Delegates fresh from the
people would know. Let no one suppose
these measures can be adopted without

THE VIRGINIUS.
HISTORY OF THE SPANISH OUT
RAGE.
The Voyage of the Virginius—Its Sud
den Termination.—The American Flag
Torn Down.—Trial of the Prisoners—
The Infamous Burriel—Rejoicings in
Havanna.
New York, November 13.—An Havana
letter, under date of the 8tli inst„ gives
the following particulars of the capture
of the Virginius: The Virginius, shortly
after the departure of a French steamer
for Santiago de Cuba, left Jamaica oil
the 24th ult. It was the intention of the ex
peditionists on board to sail direct for
the shores of Cuba, but some slight
damage to the machinery obliged them
to enter the port of Hayti, and another
port of the same Island until the 30th,
upon which day they concluded to sail
for Cuba, and attempt a landing. On
this day the Spanish Consul at Kingston
advised the Governor at Santaigo de
Cuba that the Virginius was in the vi
cinity of Morrant, by Jamica. As it
happened, a Spanish man-of-war, the
Tornado, had that morning arrived at
Santiago de Cuba. Governor Burriel
immediately communicated to her com
mander, Costilla, information, which
caused her to leave four hours afterwards.
On the following day, the 31st, the Tor-
ando, under full sail and but little steam
od, as some slight repairs were being
made to her machinery, came in sight of
the Virginius, w'hich vessel probably sup
posed the Tornado to be a sailing vessel, as
her course was not changed. On the
Tornado every effort was made to hasten
the repairs they were engaged upon, and
at two o’clock the chief engineer pro
nounced them completed. All the steam
possible was immediately got up, and the
vessel headed for the Virginius, soon
reaching a speed of fourteen knots, and
slowly gaining upon her. The Virgini-
us had in the meantime kept on her course,
but divining the hostile intentions of
the Tornado, changed it towards Jamai
ca, and, being out of coal, commenced to
bum petroleum, grease, fat, and other
combustibles from the provisions on board
—such as hams, &c. Night closed in,
and the vessels were in the same relative
position—the Tornado, however, gaining
upon her prey. The bright light of a full
moon kept the Virginius in plain sight,
and her two masts and dense clouds of
smoke, on account of her fuel, were clear
ly visible to the slowly gaining Tornado.
Further to facilitate their flight they
threw overboard horses, cannon and many
cases of arms and ammunition, afterwards
stated to be 2,000 Remingtons, a me-
trailleuse, seven horses and a quantity
of powder and small arms. As soon as
they got within gun shot the Tornado
fired a gun, followed by three other shots
and shell. This brought the Virginius
to, and two armed boats from the Torna
do came along side, took possession of
the vessel and made, prisoners of all on
board. At the time of the capture the
Virginius was flying the American flag,
but this was pulled down by the Spanish
officer and a Spanish ensign hoisted in
its place—although the papers of the
vessel, duly dispatched for Colon, were
handed to him. The vessel at the time
was in British waters and within a lea
gue, as I am positively assured, of the
coast of Jamaica. On this point all ac
counts differ—one gives the capture as
having been effected twenty miles from
Jamaica, and the official account states
twelve miles. The Diario states at twen
ty-three miles, the journals of Santiago
de Cuba at eight miles and twenty miles,
and the version of the Voz de Cuba is
twelve miles. The commander of the Tor
nado publicly stated in Santiago de Cuba
that an hour later the Virginius could
have saved herself by entering some port
of Jamaica. After the capture, the next
two hours were employed in transfering
some of the prisoners to the Tornado and
puting a prize crew on the Virginius.
The total number of persons on board
amounted to 165, of whom 90 are said to
be natives of the Island, and the remain
der foreigners. Of those 165 persons,
63 are thought to form the crew. At
midnight that night the two vessels
started for Santiago de Cuba, and ar
rived the following day at five o clock in
the afternoon, having been joined by the
Spanish steamer Cantabro. This fact
alone, of seventeen hours steaming, would
tend to prove that they were a consider
able distance from Cuba and very near
Jamaica, as the distance between the two
Islands is not much above 100 miles.—
On the following day )the 2d,) a court
martial was held on board the Tornado,
which commenced at nine and terminated
at four o’clock. All were tried as pirates,
and the findings of the court and sen-
dent and all members of his Cabinet are
in accord on this subject. j
New Orleans. November 12.—The,
news of the execution of the \ irgiuius
prisoners creates considerable excitement
here, and is the subject«f general conver
sation to-niglit. Capt. Joseph Fit com
mander of the Virginius, was a native of
Florida, and was 46 years of age. He
entered the Naval Academy at Annapolis
in 1844, and remained in the naVy until
1861, when he resigned and entered the
Confederate service. He leaves here a
wife and seven children—the oldest a
cripple, and the youngest only four years
of age.
Deeds—Not Words.—Scc*ct Societies
An article we find in the Memphis Ap
peal, written by George W Gift, and
copied from the Evening Ledger, on
“Secret Benevolent Societies," tells in for
cible language the difference between
theory and practice. We copy it entire,
and commend its perusal to those who
spend their energies and time talking
about how people pray.
“In fail-, gentle weather, when the
south wind woos. we won :ler why it is
that the gallant ship is cumbered with
those massy iron-bound spa:-s, why such
ponderous cordage and thos 2 stiff, vuiyiel
ding sails; why the hull is held together
by bolts and rivets, beams and knees.
We ask this when zephyrs fan, and the
vane scarcely tells us from whence the
breezes come. But let the wind pipe high,
and the billows grow fierce and threaten
ing, and then we begin to receive an
swers to our queries. See the gallant
masts strain, and the shrouds and back
stays grow taut as the lute string, and
the bellying sails seem swelled to their
utmost tension, and the gallant bark
groans as she feels the strokes of
the [mighty and ponderous waves, and
we know why strength and beauty have
been combined. So it is with secret so
cieties. In ordinary times, when there is
no epidemic, no extraordinary amount
of sickness, no suffering indigence, no
new-made, helpless widows, no crying or
phans, we ask ourselves, why do these
people meet and practise mummeries by
gasliglit, away up in the fourth stories of
buildings? Why should valuable time be
wasted in meetings of men together with
no further object than to meet? The
previous metaphor answers the query; or,
if it does not, the experiences of the past
six weeks do. We know now how brother
may stand to brother, though no drop
of kindred blood flows in their veins; how
the sick are nursed, how the widow is
cared for, the orphan given a home, the
dead buried, and misery, pain, and suffer
ing alleviated. Now we know that the
meetings were but to permit new members
to assume the vows of brotherhood, and
old ones to renew the covenant. Quietly
and secretly they are building the strong
ship which is to weather fierce gales like
that which now roars about us. and ride
securely over turbulent and towering
waves like those which lash us. They
were not working in vain, but were per
fecting and adding to organizations
which in time of need are to make them
one family. Let us see practically how
the secret organizations have performed
their work. At the first outbreak of the
fever they rallied about their leaders and
prepared for the onslaught. No volun
teers were asked to perform this or that
duty, but veterans were told oft’ to their
work like trained soldiers. A member,
or his wife or children, are reported ill,
and straightway the brotherhood go to
their succor. It matters not how deep
they are in the gulf of the pestilence, or
dreadful the attack of the infection, the
brothers of the mystic band fiy to the
relief, and remain until all is over, and
then perform the last sad rites which the
living owe to the dead. It matters not
if some of these shall fall who go out to
battle, others will promptly close up the
gap and take their places in front of the
dread enemy. No toil, no danger, no
fatigue deters them. What member of a
secret society lias been left to suffer?
What one has been compelled to appeal
to the public for charity? Where are
their houseless widows and starving or
phans? When did you see these socie
ties asking for assiatanee from others
than the brotherhood ? Not here, recently;
but you have heard of such noblemen as
William S. Brace, who said to the Odd
Fellows, ‘Draw on me for an unlimited a
mount.’ Where did he learn that senti
ment of brotherly love and affection?
Possibly where he was taught that all
flesh is grass, and must soon pass away;
that man owes a duty to man, and that
when that duty is performed he may live
from youth to age and yet not see the
righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging
bread. During the present epidemic
many of the brothers of the mystic tie
have been called from labor to refresh
ment; have been commanded to appear

and the Admiral in a sealed package.
After the court had concluded its task all
the prisoners were transferred to jail.—
Gen. Burriel, it is said, coolly asked that
all the prisoners should be turned over to
him, with the exception of the captain
and crew, •who should be sent to Havana
at the disposal of the Commandante Gen
eral, De Marina, and declared that in twen
ty-four hours all should be tried and
executed in order to avoid any complica
tion with the exterior—that is, foreign
intervention. He also detained the tele
gram which the United States Consul
desired to forward to the United States
Consul at Kingston, reporting the cap
ture and inquiring as to the nationality
of the Virginius. All this news was re
ceivedin Havana with great rejoicings
by the Spanish last evening. The Cap

Burriel telling the fate of the four prin

Philadelphia, November 12.—Orders
have been received at the Navy Yard to
fit out the Monitor Manhattan for sea
by Friday next. A large force of work
men are employed. It is understood
that the other monitors at Heage Island
are to be made ready for sea at once.
Washington, November 12.—The iron
clad Mahopac, at Norfolk, has been or
dered to prepare for sea, and officers as
signed to her.
Orders have betn received at the
Brooklyn Navy Yard to prepare the
sloops of war Kersage and Juniata for
sea immediately. At noon to-day, under
equally pressing orders, the torpedo boat
Admiral Porter was launched, and will
be made ready for active operations in a
few days. Commander R. E. Owed will
command the Manhattan.
It is stated that the commander of the
Virginius was Captain Fry, who com
manded the Confederate navy in Arkan
sas river.
The Mahopac and the Manhattan, or
dered to be put in commission, and to
which officers are already assigned, are
fourth class screw vessels, iron clads, of
five hundred and fifty tons burden, and
carrying each two guns. These vessels
will join the North Atlantic squadron.—
The vessels of the navy have been so
much reduced in number that it has been
found somewhat difficult to promptly re
fit our squadrons in cases of emergency,
but in the course of a few days all that
can be made available will be sent to the
Cuban waters, in accordance with the de
termination of the Cabinet meeting yes

The Secretary of the Navy was to-day
in consultation with the different bureau
officers on the subject of preparing the
vessels for sea. The Government seems

Wonderful Artesian Well.—On
William I. Rice’s farm, half way be
tween San Buenaventura and Huene-
me, half a mile from the sea, the Cook
Brothers, well-borers, have sunk i
artesian well, one hundred and fifty-
nine feet deep, putting down a seven-
inch pipe, and have been rewarded by
a flow of the purest soft water which
exceeds that of any other well yet
sunk in this part of the State. The
pipe stands five feet above the ground
and the water rushes in a solid column
two feet above the top of the pipe.
The cost of the well is trifling, as
one hundred and fifteen feet was
through a sand loam, and the last
forty feet through clay. The piping
cost $1,28 per foot, boring first hun
dred feet, $1 per foot; next fifty feet,
Si 50; excess, at $2 per foot. Roots
and vegetation were found in the clay.

A medicine that has done more than all the prescrip
tions of the pharinacopada to protect tt.e human sys
tern against the hi dily ills superinduced by unhealthy
surroundings, is certainly worthy of universal confi
dence. It is mainly on account of its extiaoiditmry pre
veulive properties that Hostetler's Stomach Bitters is
so cxceecinuly popular in localities subject to the visi
tation of miasmatic fevers and Ollier diseases pro
dueed by empoisoned air. A family that bus escaped
sickness during a sickly season inconsequence of us
ing the Biters ns a safeguard, is a living advertise
ment of the vit lues of the preparation. The whole
neighborhood realize the fact. 'T cou'dn’t have be
lieved it,” says one. “1 scaicely credited the adver
tisements; but one must believe what one sees," says
another. “It istheveiy thing we need in this un
wholesome section of country,” rematksa third. And
the result is that the instinct of self-defence, the
first law of nature, induces three fourths of that com
munity to obtain a supply of the great vegetable anti
dote before the next sickly season sets in. In winter
when the system requires extra vigor and elasticity to
enable it to baffle the effects of damp and cold, the
Bitters will be found particularly serviceable. Itheu-
matism will not be apt to fasten upon muscles ai d
nerves that have been braced up by this excellent in-
vigoraut and nervine; nor will the severities of the
season, which have such a disastrous effect ou the pul
monary orgaus of the feeble and delicate, be likely
to exercise the same untoward infiuenoes in cases
where the stomach and the external surface of the
body (which always sympathizes with the digestive or
gans) have been toned and stin ulated by a course of
the restorative. The fits "f indigestion and iiregulari-
tiesoftlie bowels which proceed from sudden changes
of weather tnny always be aver ted by a timely ute of
the Bitters. Nov. 4, 15 Im.

PAIN-KILLER,
And alter thirty years’ trial, the “ Pain Killer” may
justly be styled the great medicine of the world, for
there is no region of the globe into which it has not
found its way, and none where it has not been largely
and highly prized Moreover, there is no climate to
which it lias not proved itae’f to be well adapted for
the cure of considerable varh-ty of diseases; it is ad
mirably suited for every race. It lias lost none of its
good name by repeated trials, but continues to occupy
a prominent position in every medicine chest; and is
still receiving the most unqualified testimonials to its
virtues, from persons of the highest character and re
sponsibility Physicians of the first respectability rec
ommend it as a most effectual preparation for the ex
tinction of pain. It is not only the best remedy ever
known f r bruises, cuts, burns, etc., but for Dysentery
or Choleta, or any sort of bowel complaint, it is a rem
edy uusu passed tot efficiency and rapidity of action.
In the great cities of India and other hot climates, it
has become the Standard Medicine for all such com
plaints, as well as for Dyspepsia, Liver Complaint,
and other kindred disorders. For coughs and colds,
canker, asthma, and rheumatic difficulties, it has been
proved by the most abundant and convincing testi
mony to be an invaluable medicine. No article ever
attained such unbounded popularity. As an external
and internal medicine the Pain Killer stands unrivalled.
Thiity yt-ats are certaiuly a long time to prove the
efficiency<d any medicine, and that the Pain Killer
is deserving of ail its propi ietors claim for it, is amply
proved by the unparalleled popularity it bus attained-
It is a sure aurt effective remedy. It is sold in almost
every country in the world, sud is becoming more and
more popular every year. Its healing proper ies have
been fully tested, all over the world, and it needs only

Fire at Social Circle.—Yesterday
morning, about 3 o’clock, a fire occurred
in Social Circle, destroying the stores of
Messrs. Stanton, Y. H. Crawley, M. Mar
cus, Garrett and Bro., and J. Brown.—
The fire, we understand, originated in
Stanton’s store. We were unable to learn
the cause of the fire or the exact extent of
the loss. We were informed, however,
that it is between §25,000 and §30,000.—
Mr. Marcus’ loss is §1,500—uninsured.
At least one-half of the business portion
of town was consumed.—[Citron. & Sen.

THE 03JLY KNOWN MEDICINE
that at the same Time
Purges, Purifies, and Strengthens the
System.
Dr. Tun'* Pill* are composed of many ingredi
ents Prominent among them are Sarsaparilla and
Wild Cherry, so united as to act together; the one,
through its admixture witli other substances, purify
ing and purging; while the other is strengthening the
system. Titus these Pills are at the same time atonic
aud a cathartic, a desideratum long sought lor by med
ical men, but never before discovered. In other
words, they do the work of two medicines and do it
much better than any two we know of, for they re
move nothing from the system but impurities, so that
while they purge they also strengthen and hence they
cause no debility nud are followed by no reaction.
Dr. Tull’* Pill* have a wonderful influence on
the blood. They uot only purity without weakening
it. but they remove all noxious particles from the
chyle before it is converted into fluid, and thus makes
impure blood an utter impossibility. As there is no
debilitation, so there is no nausea or sickness attend
ing the operation of this most excellent medicine,
which never strains or tot tares the digestive organs,
but causes them to wotk in a perfectly natural man
ner; hence persons tsking them do not become pale
and emauciated, but on the contrary, while all impu
rities are being removed, the combined action of the
Sarsaparilla and Wild Cherry purifies and invigorates
the body, and a robust state of health is the result of
their united action. Price 25 cents a box Sold by
