THK LARGKST CIBOCLATION.
FRIDAY March 9, 1866
Foreign Items.
—The Cape of Gcod Hope mails to
January 15 had been received in En
gland. The war between the Free States
and the Basutos continued, but only in
name. Great distress continued to pre
vail among the working class from lack
of employment and among the fanners
from the failure of their crops. Com
mercial matters were dull, but bread
stuffs had considerably advanced in con
sequence of the blockade of Valparaiso.
—ln the House of Commons on the
15th nit., Lord Cardwell introduced a
bill for the future government of Jamaica.
He briefly explained that the Govern
ment had thought fit to*ratify the decis
ion which the Legislature of Jamaica
had arrived at abolishing itself, and it
would be proposed to establish a govern
ment, similar to that in Trinidad, for a
period of three years, and it the experi
ment was successful then it would be
made permanent. If not, some other
arrangement would be devised.
Mr. Labouchere gave notice that on
the 23d he would call attention to the
inadequacy of the Neutrality laws to
enable England to fulfill her interna
tional obligations toward foreign coun
tries.
The Government bill on the cattle j
disease was debated and amended in i
several particulars and passed through
committee.
The Vimes assumes that Mr. Glad
stone's budget will show an excess of
income over expenditures of about three
miliiou sterliug. It thinks Mr. Glad
stone will attempt to reduce the national
debt.
. —lt is rumored that Sir Charles Wood
late Secretary for India, has been offered
and accepted the Peerage.
—The Daily News believes that the
Government has acceded to the propo
sitions of the Roman Catholic hierarchy
in England, and that henceforth the
Senate of the Queen's JJniversit.y in Ire
land will consist of half Protestants and j
half Roman Catholic.
The London Times gives great 1
prominence to a letter urging a post!
potiement of the reform question, on
the ground that politicians show an in
difference to the matter, and Parliament
has to consider many ether matters of
pressing importance.
Some interesting experiments had
been tried on board the Great Eastern 1
with Mr. Willoughby Smith's new sys I
tern of testing the insulation of tele I
graph cables. It is stated that by this !
system a perfect continuous testis main j
tained during the laying of the cable, so j
that a.iy loss of insulation or solution of
continuity of the conductor is instantly
detected on board the vessel even during
the time that messages are being trans
mitted from the ship to shore, or vice
versa. In the event of injury to the j
cable while in the tank the discovery ■
would be so prompt that the paying out
would be stopped before it was possible f
that the injured portion could pass over j
the paying out wheel into the sea.
—Late advices from Syria report that
4,000 Turks attacked 500 Maronites,
commanded by Joseph Karan, near
Tripoli, and that Karan had repulsed
three assaults, and captured four guns
and several prisoners. The Turks, at
last accounts, were receiviug reinforce
ments.
—The Army & Navy Gazette says
that the troops iu Ireland are being dis
tributed more and more among the
small towns, thereby giving greater feel
ing of security.
Iu the debate on the address to the
Emperor, M. DePesigny contended that
the English' Parliamentary institutions
were unsuited to France.- The Emperor,
he said, had given to France double
liberty, founded on the solid basis of
authority. It depended on public opinion
to develop the liberty granted by the
Constitution- M. Rouland said that the
existing liberties of France were suf
ficient, *hile the Marquis De Boissy
maintained a contrary opinion. Finally
the address in response to the Emperor’s
speech was unanimously adopted.
The weekly returns of the Bank of
France show an increase in cash on
hind of fifteen millions of francs. The
bank has reduced its rate of discount to
4} per cent.
Among the reasons assigned for the
AUGUSTA, GA.,FRIDAY MORNING, MARCH 9,1866. NO. 59.
large stock of bullion in the bank ot
France is, that while the drain of specj|
was going on from England, large ship
menu of French manufactures were be
ing made to the United States, all for
cash, while at the same time there wete
no inaterinP'investments being made by
the French in Federal bouds or other
American securities.
The Paris Panic. says that the new
Peruvian frigate Huasear, lying at Brest,
had enlisted French sailors, but they
were subsequently disembarked at the
request of the authorities.
The Paris Bourse was firmer, and the
Rentes closed at 67f. 07c.
SCISSORS.
—No. 1. saddle horses sell in Hous
ton, Texas for SIBO and S2OO.
—To catch mice, place sweetmeats in
your mouth on going to bed, and keep
it wide open. When you feel the whis
kers of the mouse, bite.
—Three of the Tortugas convicts
have succeeded in escaping from the
island in an open boat and reaching the
Cuban coast. They were found by a
Spanish vessel off Matanzax and taken
to Havana. They gave their names as
Berry, Adams and Swinton, though one
was reported to be Spangler.
—A few days since as the ferry boat
was crossing the river at Columbus, Ga.,
the ferry-nan lost his hold upon the rope
and the boat floated down over the falls
below. The passengers were rescued
by some boys who had skiffs convenient
ly by; but the horse and carriage wete
swept over the tails. Strange to say
the horse was not killed.
—Reports of great suffering through
out the Western Territories from the
severe cold and snow-storms, continue
to come in. Capt. A. R. Fields, and
several men of Company A, Second
Minnesota Cavalry, during the night of
Tuesday, the 13th ult., while on the
march from Fort Wadsworth, D. TANARUS., to
Fort Abercrombie, D. TANARUS, en route to
Sauk Centre, Minn., were frozen to death.
—The Lincoln (Delaware) Herald
congratulates the people of that State,
that owing to the killing of the peach
buds in New Jersey, the Delaware
peaches will command a good price this
year. It says that although many of
the peach buds in Delaware were in
jured by the last cold weather, yet there
are enough unhurt to insure a large
crop.
—The Pittsburg Gazette , speaking of
the strikes at the rolling mills there,
savs : “The iron manufacturers held a
meeting yesten % and resolved not to
resume work until their men would ac
cept the reduced schedule of wages. The
workmen seem equally determined, many
of them having already gone to work at
such employment as they can find, while
others are casting about for something
to do.”
—The Washington Republican says
that the postponement by the house until
the second Tuesday iu April of the pro
posed constitiftional amendment in re
lation to the protection of life, liberty
and property, is regarded by many mem
bers of Congress as a defeat of the meas
ure, at least in its present form. While
the majority admit that the principles
should be enforced, they are not ali
agreed as to the means recommended by
the committee on reconstruction to that
end.
—The Washington correspondent of
the Philadelphia Ledger telegraphs :
“There is a most important rumor afloat
this P. M., to the effect that Thaddeus
had buried the hatchet, and in future
will work more in harmony with the
President. His first act of repentance
was to forward to the President a letter
soliciting the appointment of postmaster
in Pennsylvania for a friend, whom he
(Stevens) indorsed in full, and which
the President received in his usual gra
cious manner, granting the favor asked
for within an hour afterward.”
—Col. William M. Browning, Secre
tary of Legation to Mexico, died in
Washington, lately of paralysis, at the
age of thirty-two. He went to YVash
ington originally as Secretary to Mr.
Johnson, when Senator from Tennessee,
and when a military government was
established in that State, he became at
tached to the staff of Gov. Johnson. He
continued upon that duty until he ac
companied Mr. Johnson upon his return
to Washington as Vice President, and
continued with him as private secretary
until about the Ist of December last,
when he was appointed to the office
which he held at his death.
