THE LARGEST CIRCULATION.
TUESDAY MORNING -..March
SOISSOHS.
—The wearing of false calves by the
gentler sex is handled without gloves by
the Round Table.
—Richmond papers take encouraging
views of the next crop, and prophesy
better times for producers of tobacco
and cereals.
—At least a thousand persons have
perished in the storms of the sea off the
English coast within the brief space of
the last few weeks.
—There was a great fire jn the city
of Jeddo on 28th of January, by trhich
a large amount of property -was de
stroyed and a number of lives lost.
—There is still a great, deal of suffer
ing in Arkansas, principally owing to
scarcity of provisions. In some coun
ties there have been many deaths from
actual starvation.
—lmprovements seem to be the order
of the day in Chattanooga. Old build
ings are being torn down, and new ones
are being built up all over town.
Thorough street improvements are also
in progress.
—About SIOO,OOO in coin, belonging
to certain banks in Richmond, Virginia,
which was captured at Washington, Ga.,
and placed' on special deposit in the
United States Treasury, is about to 1 e
restored, by order of the President, to
the plundered institutions. .
—One of the band of horse thieves
who has been recently arrested in Wil
son county, states that the stolen ani
mals were at once driven South, and
sold in Georgia and adjoining States.
The citizens have been suffering heavily
from the depredations of this gang,
which now bids fair to be broken up.
—Mr. Seward has lately drawn down
upon himself the ire of a portion of the
Paris press by his assertion that Spain
was the only European power that
might reasonably claim a right of inter
vention in America.
—As a singular incident of Parisian
court life, it is mentioned that Teresa,
whose celebrity is due to her singing of
indecent French songs in the French
cases, has been presented to the Em
peror Napoleon, who was delighted with
her vocalism.
—Lieutenant General Seoft met with
an accident on his trip from Key West
to New Orleans by falling from his berth.
He was not very Seriously injured,
although he was confined to his room
for several days. He recovered slowly,
and, although he attended church
recently, he was still very feeble.
—A German'gentleman has submit
ted to Secretary of the Treasury Mc-
Cullough, a -proposition that our Gov
ernment shall issue land certificates,
each representing a certain nuypber of
acres of the Government lauds, which,
it is claimed,-would meet with a rapid
sale in Germany, and vastly increase
immigration hither from that country.
—General Grierson, who commanded
the cavalry corps in the Mississippi de
partment during the war, testified before
the Reconstruction Committee that Ten
nessee was more loyal than any of her
neighbors, and that it is his belief that
an organization exists in some of the
Southern States lor a renewal of the re
bellion.
—At St. Peters church, New York !
on the 4th inst., th twilight Rev. Bishop
Lynch, of Charleston, S. C., delivered a
sermon on the unity and stability of the
Catholic Church. He concluded with
an appeal to the Catholics of New York
for contributions to enable him to repair
some of the damages inflicted during the
war on the churches and other ecclesi
astical institutions in his diocese.
—Washington dispatches represent
that considerable progress is being made
in the work of closing the breach be
tween President Johnson and the Con
gressional malcontents of ihe Republican
party, and that the Radicals are assidu
ous in their efforts to make their peace
with the Executive. The crisis which
recently rendered imwiueut the resigna
tion of Stanton and other members of
the Cabinet is said to have passed, and
it is now given out as probable that they
will hold their ministerial positions for
some time yet.
. A large assemblage of members of
the Society of Friends, or Quakers, as
well as others not of that persuasion,
took place recently in the Twenty-seventh
street Friends’ meeting house, New
York, to hear a discourse from Mrs.
Lucretia Mott, who has for many years
been known among her peculiar people
as an able speaker. The lady’s reputa
tion did not suffer by her discourse,
her remarks being of a character
and being delivered with a fluency
that greatly interested her audience-
She touched, among other subjects, on
woman’s rights, and thought that in the
marriage service the wife ought not to
be required to “obey” the husband.
—lmportant news regarding the pro
gress of the war between the South
American republics and Spain Is con
tained in despatches brought by the
steamship Costa Riaa. Ecuader has
joined the alliance of Chile and Peru
against the Spaniards, and the prospect
is that other republics will follow her
example. A considerable disaster has
befallen the Peruvian navy, the steam
frigate Amnzoua, of forty guns, and the
iron-clad Loa having been run on shore
and proved a total loss. The American
steamer Uncle Sam has been seized at
Panama on suspicion of being engaged
in loading supplies intended for the
Spanish squadron, and a guard of fifty
Panama soldiers has been placed on
board of her during the pendency of an
investigation of the matter.
