A WOMAN TERRIFIED. A H-iuse RmiNScked by n ISurglnr Ilefore the Eyes of Its Mistress. Hugh Montgomery’s home, at 439 West Thirty-fifth street, New York, was ran sacked late on Friday night by a burglar. Mrs. Montgomery gives the following account of the robbery: “It was about half past ten o’clock, and I was sitting by the stove in the front room that looks upon Thirty- fifth street, rocking the cradle of my lit tle boy; my husband had just gone out to escort a lady to the horse cars, and I was left all alone with my child, two years old, in the lower rooms. The hired girl was asleep in a distant room, and the family that live up stairs were abed. I was listening for the return of my husband, and suddenly I heard the low scraping of a footstep on the door stone, and then I heard the click of a key in the lock of the front door; then it was withdrawn, there was another click and the door opened. The person who had entered paused in the hallway for several seconds, and then the hall door was thrown open quickly and the black muffled figure of a man sprang into the room. He crossed it at two steps and came close beside me, aud placing tbe muzzle of a large revolver at my cheek, said, in a low, hoarse tone : ‘If you speak a word above a whisper I’ll blow your brains out.’ I was paralyzed, I couldn’t move or make a sound, and the work that I bad been sewing on fell to the floor. I could only look at the rob ber, who was a short, stout, square- shouldered man, dressed iD a dark brown overcoat, dark trousers, and with peculiar rubber overshoes that muffled his tread. His coat collar was turned high up about bis neck and bis wide-brimmed, black slouch hat was pulled far dowi£ so that I could not see his eyes. He bad no whis kers of any kind, and I could see only a portion of his face and neck, which was dark and swarthy. He was rather flashily dressed, and his foot was as small as a woman’s. ‘Where’s your money?’ he said, me nacingly, and I pointed mechanically to the desk, on the top of which was $3 75 in bills. He took the money, counted it, and threw the card on which it was rolled down to the floor. Then he came back to me aud said, ‘Ain’t you got any money?’ and I managed to auswer ‘No.’ He said nothing, but turned up one side of my apron, aud thrusting his hand into one pocket, and pulling out a handker chief. tossed it to the floor. He then lifted the apron on the other side, and pulled from the other pocket of my dress £7 in a roll. He kept his eyes constantly screened as he worked. Next he took the lamp and went into the bedroom, and ransacked the closet, scattering the clothes ail over the floor. He found a iifty-cent fractional note, and then, no ticing that the light that ho held was visible from tbe street, he brought it back, and continued his search iu the dark. I don’t know how much money he found, but it must have been nearly fifty dollars. Ho then went through the bureau drawers, and, return ing to tbe front room, pulled out all tbo drawers of the desk that stood by my side, and emptied their contents on tbe floor. After he had satisfied himself that there was no more money, he walked quickly and noiselessly into the hall, aud, shutting the door, paused there for a minute or two, as though waiting to as certain whether I would make an outcry. Then he went out and shut the door. I was as though in a tranoe. I could neither move nor speak, and I sat motionless, looking ahead. I must have sat in that manner for nearly a half hour, and then I heard a tapping on the window pope. I managed to get up and stagger to the door, for I knew it was my husband. I went back to the room and fell into my seat, and it was nearly half an hour be fore! oo;’ld make known what had oc curred."

PARrit’UL.AR.S OF THE STRATH CLYDE DISASTER. Beecher an u .Journc> man BluNplieiuer* WASHINGTON NEWS AND NOTES. Washington, February 18.—A majority of the Senate Committee ou Privileges and Elections decided to investigate the second charge made by the JState of Alabama against Senator Spencer—that bis election to tbe United Stntes Senate was secured by corrupt means and practices. They will hear evidence upon seventeen of the specifi cations under this charge, but refuse to investigate the remaining thirteen, and they also decline to investigate the first charge, namely : that the body by which Mr. Spencer claims to have been elected to the Senate of the United States, was not the General Assembly of Alabama, this question having already been decided iu Spencer’s favor in the Sykes-Spencer con test. The bar of the Supreme Court paid the customary tribute to the memory of Rev- erdy Johnson. Schenck’s resignation has not been re ceived, but is certainly expected. There are no intimations as to his successor. The steamer Dispatch sails to-night for Pori Royal. The Committee on the Pacific Railroad agreed to report a bill to make more specific and general the reports of railroad compa nies required by the act of 18G8. THE STRATH CLYDE DISASTER. London, February 18.—Of the twenty-nine persons landed at Deal from the st< am. r Strath Clyde, many were greatly exhausted, and three ha\e since died. The accounts ol the number on board the Strath Clyde are conflicting. The most reliable say there were thirty of the crew and twenty-six passengers, of whom eleven were saved at Dover. The total number perished is put at sixteen, in addition to the three who The steamer Francona, which belongs toi the Hamburg, American and West India lino, was outward bound for tbe West Indies. She anchored in Down, off Deal, last night, and steamed eastward at day light, coming to Loudon to repair. 8he has since been reported as passing Thames Haven. Tbe Strath Clyde lies in Fair Way, about two miles off Dover, her masts standing twenty feet above water. Later.—Two ladies and three gentlemen are reported to have been picked up by a passing vessel bound for London. Mill Later.—The lists published by the papers this afternoon show that the Strath Clyde had twenty-three passengers aud a crew numbering torty-seven. Another per son has died at Dover. Of tbe forty known to bo rescued, only six wero passengers, one of whom is among the lour who have since died. WASHINGTON WEATHER PROPHET. Washington, February 18.—Probabilities!

Objection being made to tbe present consideration of the resolutions, they were laid over for one day. llobbius offered a resolution asking tho Secretary of War whether any, aud if any, what military officers acted as Consular or Diplomatic appointees. The bill for the re organization of tho Judiciary was resumed. BLASPHEMOUS BEECHER. New York, February 18—Beecher, con cluding before the council, compared him self to a central body on which alt the rays of the sun were concentrated, and upon which has been heaped all the trouble that could be gathered on tho face of the globe forty times. In closing bis answer, Mr. Beecher said: “If there is any man on earth that has anything to say to my detriment, I here now challenge him to say it.” Cries of “Good!” “Good!” aud “Hear!” Hear!” proceeded from various parts of the church, and Mr. Beecher continued: “If there is any angel of God I challenge him to say aught against me. Aye! I go far beyond that. I challenge the truth from God him self.” FRAUDULENT EVIDENCE. Washington, February 18.—George Tay lor and John W.

The Odd Fellows of this city have re cently fitted up an elegant lodge room in “Connally Building,” and last night it was dedicated with appropriate services, Hon. Thomas J. Simmons, of Macon, President of the Senate, and Grand Mas ter of the order in this State, presiding. In making the “Proclamation,” the “Herald of the North” was represented in a most excellent manner by Mr. R J. Maynard, of DeKaib Lodge, Savannah. “green line” conyen»on. The city is full of prominent railroad officials, who are in attendance at a meet ing of the “Green Line Freight” men. I noticed as present Colonel Magrath, of the South Carolina : Colonel Johnson, of the Georgia; Colonel Powers, of the Central; General Alexander, of the Western of Alabama; Majoi Durant, of the Port Royal; Colonel Dunham, of the Montgomery and Eufaula; and Colonel BILLS FROM CAMDEN COUNTY. Hon. R. N. King, of St. Mary’s, repre sents Camden county in the House with considerable fidelity. He is a member of the Committee ou Deaf and Dumb Asy lum and on Immigration, and has intro duced the following bills: A Bill to be entitled “Au Act to encourage sheep raising iu the county of Camden.” Read first time January 13th, referred to Committee on Agriculture, and tabled on third reading. A Bill to amend an Act establishing a Board of Commissioners for Camden and other counties, so far a3 relates to tho coun ty of Camden. Read January 24th, and re ferred to Judiciarv Committee February 4th. A Bill to be entitled “An Act for tho relief of T. S. Chester, Thomas Savage and John Wilkinson.” Read first time February 9th, referred to Finance Committee February 15 th. BILLS FROM TATTNALL COUNTY. Tattnall county is represented by the Hon. Jeremiah Tootle, of Reidville, who is a member of the Committee on the Lunatic Asylum and the Geological Bureau. He has introduced the three following bills: A Bill to change tho lino between the count’es of Tattnall and LioerCy couuties. Read first time January 13th, referred to Committee on New Counties and County Lines, recommitted February 5tli, and lost February Stli. A Bill to prevent the obstruction of the waters of Beard’s Creek. Read January 14th, referred to Judiciary Committee, and lost January 22d.

[Special Correspondence of the Momim; New?.] Pope, of the Coast Line. The proceed- 1 mem b fcr Agricultural, Penitentiary and Enrolling Committees, and has mtro- ings of the conference are private, yet I learn that the result of their labors will put all the competing lines in such a con dition that they will make no money in the carrying business. THE LOBBYISTS IN FORCE. Now that the session of the Legislature is drawing to a close, and the fate of the bond, railroad aid aud lottery bills is to be decided, an army cf persistent and money-seeking lobbyists has poured in upon the floor cf both branches of the General Assembly, and the Representa tives and Senators are being daily bored with importunities to advocate and help through one or another, or all, of these suspicious and dangerous projects. It is really singular that this character of bills always produces a swarm of greedy out side advocates aud lobbyists. THE STATE COMMITTEE SUSTAINED. The sentiments of *he manly and satis factory letter of ex-Senator Nichols, pub lished in the Morning News of yesterday, are heartily endorsed by leading men here. They have no sympathy with the little handful of sore-headed and disap pointed aspirants who seek to dictate to the committee and people of the State in the matter of their duty in conducting tho public affairs of the Democratic party. Happily, this clique has but few follow ers, and their efforts to disorganize the party will prove utterly fruitless. The good sense aud patriotism of the people will be proof against this specious reason ing about “usurpations of power” and “transcending authority.” A “german” AT THE KIMBALL HOUSE. A very delightful “German” was held in the spacious dining room of the Kim ball House last night, which was largely attended and generally enjoyed. Among the most charming ladies who were pres ent as spectators, I noticed that the “Forest City” was well represented by Mrs. Gen. Lawton, Mrs. Montgomery Cumming, who is quite a belle here this season, and Misses Carrie and Lulu Law- ton. These and other charming ladies have given the corridors and parlors of the Kimball House numerous rare attrac tions during the present session, and the young and handsome members of the Legislature are indebted to them for many hours of delightful social pleasure. HESTER, NOT LESTER. As there is a Senator Hester and a Sen ator Lester, the names of these two gen tlemen have been frequently' confounded by your readers, and Senator Lester is frequently written to by his constituents in regard to matters which have been dis cussed or acted upon by Senator Hester. Hereafter it is to be hoped that this mis take will not occur. LEGISLATIVE PERSONAL GOSSIP. Representative Reviil, of Meriwether, seldom occupies the attention of the House by his speeches, as the members never allow him to divert their minds from more congenial pursuits. Captain Hammond, of Thomas, made another able and eloquent speech yester day afternoon, the school question being under discussion, and he is now appro priately called the “silver-tongued orator of South Georgia.” The Hon. H. G. Turner, of Brooks, has made two excellent speeches since my last report of his labors, and that county can be assured that it is represented in the House by one of the ablest debaters of that body. Colonel J. L. Sweat, the popular and efficient chief Clerk of the House, is a well known lawyer of Homerville, on the Atlantic and Gulf Railroad. He is a can didate for re-election, and whoever runs against him will find him strong in the affections of the people. The Rev. John Jones, Chaplain of the House, was formerly a citizen of Savan nah, and speaks of his residence there with the most pleasant recollections. He is a model chaplaiD, and discharges his daily duties in a conscientious and ac ceptable manner. It is astonishing to note the alacrity of members as they rush up to the Clerk’s desk after free tickets over the various railroads in the State, and the hesitancy with which they consent to discuss the subject of reducing their mileage over the same railroads. • BRYAN COUNTY’S REPRESENTATIVE. The Hon. W. II. DeLoach. of Eden, is the Representative of Bryan county, and occupies a place on the Enrollment Com mittee. He has introduced but one bill: A Bill for the relief of Thomas W. Davis, an- Egremout Tax Collector of Bryan county. Read first time January 19th, and referred to Commit tee on Finance February 1st. + BILLS OF CHARLTON COUNTY. Charlton county is represented in a faithful manner by the Hon. F. Lang, of Traders’ Hill, who is a member of the Committee on Manufactures, and has introduced the following bills: A Bill to protect sheep raising jn the county of Charlton. Read first time Janu ary 14, referred to Committee on Agricul ture, and tabled February 7. A Bill to protect the farmers of the countv of Charlton. Read first time January 9, referred to Committee ou Agriculture, and passed as amended February 5. A Bill to prohibit the firing of woods. Read January 21, referred to Committee on Agriculture, passed as amended February 11, reconsidered and indefinitely postponed February 12. A Bill* to change the lino between the counties of rierce and Charlton. Read January 24, referred to Committee on New Counties and County Lines, aud passed February 11. BILLS FROM WAYNE COUNTY. Wayne county has au industrious mem ber in the House, in the person of Hon. H. R.

Chatham. THE HOMESTEAD ACT. The MeDuniei Law to Adjust the IHkIHm of Partied Where Homedteads Have Been Sold. The recent decision of the Supreme Court, in a certain homestead case, which was an earthquake to a vast number of titles in this State, sprung an imperative duty upon the Legislature to provide for the protection of the rights of parties in such cases. Senator McDaniel introduced bill which has passed both Houses, been signed by the Governor, and is now a law. The following is the full text of the bill: A Bill to be entitled “An Act to provide ft-r the adjustment of tho rights of parties in cases where property which has been ?et apart under the homestead aud exemption laws of this Statejhas heretofore been sold.” Section 1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Georgia, That from and after the passage of this act courts of equity alone shall have jurisdiction of suits for the recovery of property which has been set apart under the homestead aud exemp tion laws of this State, aud which lias be M heretofore sold, or for the recovery of any interest therein, and that it shall be lawful for any party to prove that the purchase money ot such property, or any part thereof, has been invested in other property, or has been applied to the benefit ot the family for whom such property had been set apart as aforesaid. Section 2. Be it further enacted, That in cases where the proceeds of property sold as aforesaid, has beeu invested iu other pro perty of equal value and for the benefit of said family, the court shall confirm the 6ale and the purchase, and therefore the proper ty so purchased shall be held by the family as a homestead aud exemption m lieu of the property so sold, which shall be discharged of the particular estate vested by said home stead and exemption laws in said family. Section 3. Be it further enacted, That iu cases where all tho proceeds of the sale of pioperty have been applied to the brnefit of said family, the court shall confirm the sale, and thereafter the property so sold shall be discharged of the particular estate afore said. Section 4. Be it further enacted, That in cases where a part only of the proceeds ol property soid as aforesaid has been rein vested as aforesaid, tbe court shall take an aecuuut of the proportion that the amount so invested bears to the entire value of the property so sold, and shall confirm the sale as to that proportionate part of the property, and confirm the purchase, and thereafter the property so purchased shall be hold by said family as a part of their homestead and exemption, iu lieu of the proportionate part aforesaid of the property so sold, which shall be discharged ol the particular estate afore said. Section 5. Be il further enact* d, That iu cases where a part only of the proceeds sold as aforesaid has been applied to the benefit of said family, the court shall take au account of the proportion that the amount so applied bears to the entire value of the property so sold, aud shall confirm the sale as to that proportionate part of such prop erty. which shall be discharged of the par ticular estate aforesaid. Section C. Be it further enacted. That in cases when any portion of the proceeds of property sold as aforesaid has neither been invested iu other property, nor applied to the benefit of said family, the court shall Ascertain the amount thereof, and the inter est of said family therein, and shall mould a decree to protect the rights and interests of said family in the property so sold, and at the same time to protect the rights and in terests of the purchases in the reversion of such property after the particular estate aforesaid, shall have beeu determined, aud shall require parties complainant to do com plete equity in the premises before obtain ing equity. Section 7. Be it further enacted. That in cases where a portion or all of the purchase mo% of property so sold has not been paid, the court may confirm the sale and urder the re-investment of tho proceeds, or may cancel and set aside the sale, aud com pel the restoration of any part of the pur chase money which may have been paid, and may grant re ief to the parties accord ing to the principles of equity. Section 8. Be it further enacted. That ail suits herein provided tor shall be biought within six months after the passage of this act, or the right of the party complainant, aud all right of suit for its enforcement shall be forever barred. Section 9. Be it further enacted, That in cases where suits are now pending in courts of law or equity for tbe recovery of property sold aforesaid, parties defendants shall be entitled to the defenses and equitable relief provided for in this act. Section 10. Be it further enacted, That all laws and parts of laws in conflict with the Jacksonville, February 17, 1876. AN INDIAN WARRIOR TO THE FRONT. An opinion has been on various oc casions promulgated, and never within our memory successfully contradicted, that no matter wli$t cause a man may advocate, no matter what position he may assume, he will always find supporters and partisans. It would seem on a casual survey of the field that this aver ment is not altogether at variance with tho truth, and it may be that certain revolutionists of whom history makes mention have derived almost tho whole of their sustenance from some such re flection. The invisible cohorts, the Ful- staffian armies of a few contumacious but importunate heroes may be speedily metamorphosed into a formi dable entity by the imagination if we acknowledge unquestioning adherence to tho theory which is now under discussion. It is calculated to make mankind content ed and ambitious in whatever sphere of life one may happen to oscillate. There is one individual within the borders of this State who proposes to take a stand as the Radical candidate for Governor, and his strength will doubt less be supplied after the manner above in dicated. The Seminoles living in the Everglades never having been honored by the election of one of their number to any important office, held a grand pow wow about ten days since, and formally nominated Pi-Jou-To, the famous red chief, as a Gubernatorial candidate, and he will, beyond the peradventure of a doubt, run with Hiawathau fleetness. He bases his claims to political preferment on voluminous qualifications. He is an ultra Radical, and when two years of age was detected in the act of stealing two of his own teeth. He has never done anything to advance the interests of anybody but himself, and moreover, has no intention of doing anything. He is hopelessly and irredeemably illiterate and will continue in that condition to all eternity. He would make a decided improvement on the present incumbent, (who is, it is be lieved, justly suspected of having em bezzled one of his own arms,) for the reason that Pi-Jou-To will be careful to monopolize the business of pilfering for his own exclusive advantage, aDd will not consider any lecommendution of ap plicants for office but a capacity to get drunk at least three times during every twenty-four hours. Pi-Jou-To, if elected, will differ from the present idiotic Execu tive in surrounding himself with drunkards aud thieves instead of thieves and drunkards. A comparison with Stearns would be a gross injustice to Pi- Jou-To. THE ELEUSINIAN MYSTERIES. Maudarin is situated iu the State of Florida, couuty of Duval, right on the right bank of the river St. John’s iu com ing down, but in going up it is right on the left hand bank you see. It is known as the residence of Harriet Beecher Stowe and “Professor” Stowe. This small and unpretentious village is entitled to the credit of having revealed an original genius in the shape of an em ulator of the fifth legion which, accord ing to Josephus, raised the bank “which was raised at Antonia.” It is thought that the river bank has been elevated ful ly two feet since the advent of J. Sabine Knight. Knight is a reputed co laborer — a kind of rudimentary appendage — of Moody and Sankey, and moved to Florida ostensibly to bring about the conversion of the negroes. Now I have been thus exact for obvious rea sons. On last Sunday, J. Sabine Knight, being then &t Mandarin, was requested to officiate in the church there, but per emptorily declined to preach to the peo ple at large, and delivered an oration on that night to a selected congregation of upper-tendom. Depositions ready at any moment. A PRONOUNCED SUCCESS. The fair given under the auspices of a number of ladies for the benefit of St. Luke’s Hospital has more than equalled the anticipations of its projectors as a profitable and pleasant ventuie. A hand some sum of money will probably be realized, which will be a material help to the hospital. Metropolitan Hall is neatly decorated and in such a finished way as to suggest that the deft fingers of some of the fair sex have been instru mental in its ornamentation. The fair will terminate to-night, and os soon as the lady managers are at leisure I would intimate that they can render the cause of morality and hontsty a last ing service by piosecuting that fellow Swaine for stealing $900 from them. Begin the action, ladies, and that crimi nal will make overtures for a compromise as quickly as a Radical Judge subverts law or as a baby cries. A REVOLTING CRIME. On Tuesday morning a male child, aged about one week, was found in the rear of the cemetery near La Villa. The little creature’s flesh had been devoured by dogs or swine, aud formed a most repuls ive sight. A heavily veiled woman was noticed wending her way in that direc tion on the day previous to the discovery of the infant’s remains, accompanied by a little girl, and carrying a basket. Oth erwise no clue as to the perpetrator of this unnatural crime has been obtained, and nothing definite was elicited at the inquest. MASHED TO DEATH. A laborer at Bradbury’s mill, at the upper end of Bay street, named Samuel Redding, while attempting to grind an axe was caught up by the belting and crushed to fragments on Tuesday before the machinery could be stopped. The revolutions of the wheel must have pro duced death instantaneously, and when I viewed the mangled body of the unfortu nate at the inquest it presented a horrible spectacle. The head was ground to a jelly and bones broken into a thousand pieces, while clots of blood stained the machinery and walls. OUT IN THE COLD. The festive parties who have had. so many preliminary examinations lately came before Randall yesterday on a second writ of habeas corpus, and were again discharged from custody, in con sequence of an alleged irregularity m the primary proceedings. Arrangements were immediately made for rearresting them, but the gamblers voluntarily made proposition to leave town within twenty-four hours upon the return of their tools. This plan met with appro bation, their tools were released, and ihe trio evacuate Jacksonville this evening. It is hoped that some zeal will be shown towards exactly forty-two other blacklegs still remaining in the city. CULTIVATION OF THE DRAMA. Jacksonville is rapidly acquiring an un enviable and unmerited reputation as the Thermopylae of the theatrical companies. Scarcely a troupe reaches this place wiifa- out meeting disaster if not utter bank ruptcy. The disappointed and embar rassed actors attribute this fatality to the lack of appreciation on tbe part of play goers, while the play-goers retort by lay ing it to tbe mediocrity of the perform ers. Neither are wholly just. The shows invariably fail to advertise the people of their coming and bouncy into town with a “here we are,” and expect a large attendance when no one knows that they are here. If any respectable com pany intending to visit Jacksonville will announoe the fact through the Mobnino News in advance, I will go so far as to almost guarantee them a remunerative stay if it be a short one. It is impossi ble to collect a crowd in a town where ous warning. Considerable latitude must be allowed. DISCIPLES OF TOBQUEMADA. The Board of Public Instruction are to-day to institute an inquisition into the truth or falsity of the accusations pre ferred by Bentley against the Judge of the Fourth Judicial Circuit. It is under stood that they have decided to begin at the end by investigating Bentley. and, the upshot of their deliberations will undoubtedly resemble a meteoric shower—after the meteors have disappeared. The question is narrowed down to this: If the “Jedge” took that salary for services performed, he is guilty of perjury in holding an office in violation of a constitution which he is sworn to protect. If he took it without earning it, he is clearly culpable of rob bery. Take your choice of offences. NEW STEAMER LINE. The steamer General Sedgwick will hereafter ply between Savannah and Jacksonville, on the inside route. This will afford additional facilities to the peo ple living on the line, and the Sedgwick is said to be well adapted for the run. Adkianus. pgal £alc$. DEATH OF AN OLD WAKKIOK. lie Foiitflit the Alaerine Flrales and Nearly Brought on a War with Spain. Cupt. Victor M. Randolph died near Biouut Springs, Ala., on January 28th. He was born in Culpepper county, Va., July 24, 1797, was commissioned from tho State a midshipman in the United States Navy in the year 1814, and sailed under Capt. Stephen Decatur. He served with great credit in the fierce conflicts with the Algerine pirates, that ended in their extermination. He was with the late Capt. Josiah Tattnall at tbe bom bardment of Vera Cruz, and caught the latter in his arms when he fell danger ously wounded by a Mexican missile. During President Taylor’s adminis tration he was given the command of the United States ship Albany, and in obedience to orders from Washington, he disbanded the several hundred adven turers who had collected on Round Island for the unlawful purpose of in vading Cuba. Soon thereafter, by the merest accident, war between the United States and Spain was averted, as follows: The United States sloops-of-war Albany aud Germantown, each carrying twenty- two guns, under the command of Captain Randolph, happened to cast anchor in the harbor of Havana at the time when a reign of terror prevailed, just following the execution?; of Lopez and Crittenden. A Spanish frigate aud brig had capturtd the crew of au American merchantman, under pretence that they were filibusters. Captain Randolph visited Captain- General Concha, demanded their re lease, and was refused. After a stormy interview the former left, in forming the latter that he would set free the American crew before sundown. 'Hie Albany and Germantown were imme diately put under way, and sailed out under the bristling guns of Moro Castle. In sight were the Spanish frigate and brig conveying the captured American merchantman toward the mouth of the harbor. Thousands of the citizens of Ha vana thronged the shore to witness the expected naval battle. The guns of the United States vessels were shotted, qnd all hands ordered on deck to prepare for action, and then the two bore down upon the Spaniards. When the distance be tween them was less than a league, the United States steam frigate Sara nac, commanded by Captain Tatt nall, appeared, and made signals to the Albany to heave to. Captain Tattnall ranked Capt. Randolph, the lat ter was compelled to obey, much to the chagrin of the now excited and expectant crews of the two vessels that had been prepared for action. The Saranac, whose commander had gotten Wind of tbe situa tion that morning, bad been put under full headway of steam, in order to pre vent hostilities that would have resulted in a final declaration of war between the two countries. He had his orders from Washington to keep peace at all hazards. A delay of less than twenty minutes and the Saranac would have reached the scene too late to prevent a fight that would have been speedily followed by the invasion and capture of the island of Cuba by the United States forces. News from the Border—Butchery of a Family by Mexican Robbers and a Swift Retribution.—We have been per mitted to make the following extract from a private letter just received in this city by Mr. B. Courtney, of Algiers, from his son, Thomas J. Courtney, military telegraph operator at Edinburg, Texas, ou the Rio Grande, under date of the 3d instant: “Only the day before yesterday there was a terrible case of bu;chery on the Rio Grande. A party of Mexicans started out and went to a store that was kept by an old man named Garcia aud murdered him and his wife, two grown daughters and several Americans. The store was entirely emptied of its con tents. The next morning a party of citi zens started out in search of the mur derers, and succeeded in capturing eight of them and hanging them to the nearest tree. The way they were found out was they had iu their possession some of the articles stolen from the store. They were captured just as they were in the act of crossing over into Mexico. It was expected the citizens would capture and hang as many more of these murderers.— Neic Orleans Picayune. The Prince of Wales and Cashmere Shawls,—The preparations of the Maha rajah of Cashmere for the reception of the Prince of Wales were of extraordi nary richness. There was a tent of cash- mere shawls outside the house; the floors of the rooms were covered with the finest shawls. One felt as if we were walking over charming paintings, and destroying with vandal foot works of great prices. The walls were draped with shawls of immense value. There was a dais, and there was a canopy shrouded in shawls. Rich as these were, the Maharajah and Sirdars were* richer still, for they wore gala robes of exceeding fine jewels. The attendants filled the passages and crowd ed outside in great state. Six Thous*nd Miles by Telegraph. A Hartford firm sent a message to a busi ness establishment in London last Satur day. The last word was sent from the Hartford office at 9:20 in the forenoon, and at 10:47 the answering message was complete m tbe same office. On Monday a message was sent at 4 p. m. and at 5:20 p. m. the answer was delivered. If we con sider the number of hands through which the dispatch passi d, both in transit be tween the different offices and delivery in London and Hartford, the extraordinary features of the exploit will be the more readiiy appreciated.—Hartford Tiroes A singular case of conscientiousness Las just been manifested through a let ter to the Treasury Department from a gentleman who signs his proper name to |the communication, in which he states that he was some years ago assessed and that he paid a tax upon his income as a State officer. He demanded the return of the money, however, on the ground that it was illegal, and tbe amount of the tax was refunded to him. He now forwards the amount so refunded to the depart ment—the sum of twenty-four hundred dollars—with the request that his name shall not be made public. Peculiar Suit by a Widow.—Mrs. Ellen Cushing, the widow of the unfor tunate man who was burned to death in a calaboose, in Independence, Iowa, last spring, has commenced suit against James Moroney, the keeper of the low doggery, for damages in the sum of ten thousand dollars, for selling liquor to her husband, and thus almost directly contri buting to his death. The daughter of a Scotch baronet re cently died of destitution in New York, City M irshaPs Hale O N THE FIRST TUESDAY IN MARCH 1S76, between the legal hours of pale, before the Court House door in the city of Savannah, and under the direction of Committee on Public Sales and City Lots, will be sold the following property for arrears of Ground Rent due the city ot Savannah: BROWN WARD.
