The “Solid Men’’ of Memphis,
Tho Avalanche of Thursday publishes
a list of persons, the value of whose pro

Another Gin House Burned.
The Americus News of Thursday, says
“the gin house of Wm. B. Marshall, of
Schley county, was consumed on Satur
day night last, with twelve bales of cot
ton. It was set on fire after midnight,
certainly by an incendiary, as no work
bad been done about the gin for several

The Sentiment for the South,
1 In the debate on Federal Relations in
! the Georgia Legislature Friday, Mr. Fan
nin of Morgan declared it was theduty of
1 Southern Representatives in CoDgress to
unite iu the election of Speaker. Mr.
Williams of Muscogee said that, Demo
crat as.he was, he would vote for any
American for Speaker rather than see a
Black Republican elected. This is the
spirit 4hat should inspire not only every
Representative of the South in Congress,
but every one of her sons whether adopt
ed, or “native and to the manner born.”
Ihe line of demarcation between parties
in Congress is the slavery question and
upon this our enemies are united, and
march to tho conflict in serried column.
On the other hand we behold the South
divided upon three several candidates,
and demoralized by the division. The
triumphs of mere party compared to the
success and preservation of Southern
rights are contemptible, and the Repre
sentative who subordinates the one to the
other at this crisis, should be held to a
severe accountability at the stern tribu
nal of public justice. True, the combin
ed strength of the Lecompton Democrats
and Southern Americans would not be
sufficient to effect a choice for Speaker,
but it would present the long desired and
sublime spectacle of a united South. This
effected, the South would be satisfied
though her combined force in Congress
formed only a moiety of the strength
of the Black Republicans. We say if the
Southern Americans will not merge with
the Democrats and cast their votes for
Bocock, the Democrats should determine
so far as they are concerned that the re
sponsibility of a divided South should not
rest upon them. They should not hesi
tate to coalesce with the Southern Amer
icans and thus concentrate the strength
of the South on some Southern man. It
would be preferable to the elevation of a
Black Republican to the Speaker’s Chair.
The South may succeed in affecting an
organization by this course, but never,
under existing circumstances. In the
sectional contest raging, our Representa
tives should obliterate and ignore party
lines and affinities ; if they will not prof
it by their example a common danger
and fortune should teach them to bury
all minor points of difference and pres
ent an undivided front to their adversa
ries.
Hogs for tke South.
The Chattanooga Advertiser, of Thurs
day, says hog3 in fair sized droves, are
daily arriving at that point, for Southern
shipment; buyers are giving 5 cts. gross
and several lots have exchanged hands.
Messrs. Chandler & McCamey have killed
for themselves and private parties, up to
this time, about 2,500. These gentlemen,
in consequence of the high ruling rates
of hogs, will not pack as largely as they
’ have in previous years. They will p”ob
ably exceed five or six thousand. From
an inspection of the W. and A. Rail Road
books at the Chattanooga depot, we find
that the numbers shipped from this
point up to Dec. Ist, is 10,860 against
6,920 of last year. In the month of De
cember, 1858, however, there were
shipped 8,060 —a heavy transaction.—
Hogs have come forward earlier this year
than last, owing in a measure to the de
mand for money and the scarcity of Corn
beyond the vallies. We dare venture the
opinion that the number shipped this
year will not be so great as that of last
season, and then the hogs shipped this
year will not average near as heavy as
they did last season.
Homicide.
The Ilayncville Chronicle of Thursday
learns from a gentleman who has just re
turned from a visit to Butler, that a diffi
culty occurred near Greenville, on Fri
day last, between two brothers-in-law,
Smith and Davenport, in which the latter
was killed. They are both men of wealth,
and the dispute is said to have originated
about property.
The Atlanta Intelligencer learns that
a man named Martin Warren, aged about
30 years, was instantly killed by a fall
from bis horse, on Tuesday evening last,
near Conyer’s, in Newton county. He
was a resident of Newton county, and
leaves a wife behind him.
Gann Retaken.
The Marietta Advocate of Friday says :
Gann who was under sentence of death

Homicide.
A man named Medcalf was shot by
another named Sturkie, in Calhoun coun

shot at.
A Bad Egg—Singular Incident.
On Saturday morning last a gentleman J
in her Majesty’s service, residing in
< Leith, sat down to breakfast, and was in
’ the act of breaking an egg, when, much
to his consternation, it gave a loud re
port, started up to the ceiling, and in an
instant was dashed to pieces at his feet.
The gentleman’s face was slightly I
touched by the egg iu its ascent. This
singular circumstance is accounted for
by the decomposition of the egg, and the
foul air it contained. Caledonian Aler

Almost a Tragedy.
Yesterday afternoon, at the Artesian
basin, a man, whose name we did not
learn, either intentionally or accidentally
fired a pistol, upon which policeman Hor
ton attempted to arrest him. Iu the
scuffle, the man attempted to shoot the
officer, and succeeded in getting a bullet
through his coat, but without inflicting
any bodily injury. The individual was
taken to the Guard House, and will be
apt to be made to suffer “some” before be
gets out of the scrape.— Montgomery Con
federation, 1 6th.
Arrival of Capt. Farnham.
United States Deputy Marshals O’Keefe
and Peyton, of New York, arrived in the
city this morning, having in custody J.
Egbert Farnham, who is charged with j
being connected with the Wanderer, as
her Captain. He was placed in the Chat
ham county jail, where be%ill probably
remain until the next term of the United
States Circuit Court. —Savannah Express,

An Abolitionist Betrayed by Slaves,
The Raleigh (N. C.) Register has the
following item :
“We learn from a friend that a man
who says his name is John D. Williams
has been arrested and confined in Hills
borough jail, on a charge of tampering
with slaves. He is about 25 years of age,
and is travelling as a book-agent. He
was twice betrayed by slaves, to whom
lie communicated bis Abolition senti
ments. He was still in jail on the 3d.
We would not be surprised to hear that
he has been lynched. He no doubt will
be, if h? should not leave as soon as he
is turned out of jail.”
I Votes on tbe Balloting for Speaker.
A recapitulation of the votes cast for
Speaker in Congress showed that those
cast for tbe Black Republican candidate
have been increased by one vote (Sher
man’s) making 111. Mr. Bocock still
receives 83, voting himself for Mr.
Barksdale of Mississippi. Mr. Pughvotes
for McQueen of South Carolina. Twenty
of the South Americans including Mr.
Briggs of New Y'ork vote for Mr. Boteler
of Virginia; three of them viz: Harde
man of Georgia', Gilmer of N. C., and
Moore of Ivy., scattered their votes.—
There are eight Anti-Lecompton Demo
crats who scattered their’s. Stallworth of
| Alabama, Adams and Brown of Kentucky
are absent. The combined Southern vote
is 113, which wants three of the number
necessary so a choice. Should the Rep
resentatives from the South unite, they
would be powerless to terminate the con
test unless a few Anti-Lecompton Demo
cratswere secured, or Messrs. Stallworth,
Adams and Brown of Kentucky, one
j South American and two Administration
1 Democrafs were present.
| The Forrest Divorce Case—Filial
Report of the Referee.
A. C. Bradley, the referee in the For
rest divorce case, has made his final re
port to tbe Supreme Court of the city of
New York. The folio wing is the material
part:
Catherine N. Forrest, vs. Edwin For
rest. To the Superior Court:—The sub
scriber, the referee named in the judg
ment of the Court in this case, the 24th
day of July, 1856, respectfully reports :
I That he has been attended by tbe res
pective parties, and heard their proofs on
the matter referred to him in the said
judgment; that having regard to the cir
cumstances of the parties respectively,
the sum of four thousand dollars per
annum would be a suitable allowance to
the plaintiff for her support ; that the
same should be payable from the 19th
day of November, 1850, the day when
this suit was commenced, quarterly, on
the first days of February, May, August
and November, iu each year; that so
much thereof as shall have fallen due at
the time of the decision of the Court on
hearing of this cause on this report, to be
paid within thirty days thereafter, and
the residue as it becomes due, to the
United States Trust Company of the City
of New York, for the plaintiff’s use.
Montgomery and Union Springs Rail
Road.
The Union Springs Gazette of Thurs
day speaking of the above Road says :
The Corps of Engineers are now loca
ting the line, and the hands will be placed
on the work as soon as practicable.—
When completed, we have every assu
i ranee of its durability, as all the material
1 will be of the best quality. The Engi
neers have succeeded in getting an air
line, with the exception of a single curve,
which will enable them to make good
time, a very important item tkese.days.
The great necessity of the road is very
| severely felt at this particular time, as
j the Mobile & Girard Road has recently
j met with a succession of reverses which
’ has rendered it inadequate to the busi
: ness of the Road. Although we feel sat
isfied that Major Howard, the President
of the Road, is exerting himself to the
utmost, we would respectfully suggest
the propriety of purchasing anew En
gine, in order to obviate the great incon
venience Planters and others are subject
ed to in the delay of shipments. We
have recently heard of Cotton being haul
ed from this Depot to Montgomery aud
Eufaula, which should not and would not
be, if the facilities for transportat ion over
this road were sufficient. We sincerely
hope to see this matter reconciled.
Letter from Charlestown.
Charlestown, Va., Dec. 1859.
The prisoners are in much the same
condition as in my late report. Last
night Cook was busily engaged in writing,
and seemed little inclined for conversa
tion. Coppic was rather more talkative
thati usual, and freely spoke of his boy
hood’s home—of his happy school-boy
days—his early and elysian dreams—his
young heart’s hopes and dreams. He
said he never would have been here had
he not been led by his feelings of affec
tion to follow the fortunes of his brother.
He represents his brother, Barcley Cop
pic, as he expresses it, a weakly young
man, and unable to undergo the expos
ures of such a rash campaign. That he
followed with a brother’s instinct “to
shield and save his younger brother.”
B. Coppic, with Owen Brown, Francis J.
Merriam and Charles P. Tidd are still at
large, with a reward upon their heads.
Before they bade each other good night,
Coppic said to Cook, ‘•John, our time is
drawing short!” Cook cheerily replied,
“Why, Ed.! we’ve got another week.”
His tone was lively and his apparent cool
ness great, though I shall not be sur
prised to find him the first to give away
at the fatal hour. Cor. Baltimore Sun.

Hr, Ten Broeck’s Movements on the
English Turf.
We see by the latest files of the Eng
lish calendar, that Mr. Ten Broeck has
been making several additions to his
string of foreign horses, and that he in- j
tends to press a brisk campaign upon the
English turf next year. For the New
market Craven meeting, which comes on
in the spring, he has entered Optimist,
Maggiore, (late Pretty by Night,) May
flower in a sweepstakes of 50 sovereigns.
He has entered Cbiffaniere, and Even
hand in the Hopeful Stakes for two year
olds, at the Newmarket October meet
ings. He has entered Maggiore in the
Select Stakes of 50 sovereigns at the
Newmarket 2d October. He has entered
Chiffouiere in the Malcomb Stakes at the
Goodwood, for two year olds, in the
two and one thousand guineas’ stakes for
1861 respectively. We have not noticed
the names of Evenhand and Chiffoniere
among Mr. Ten Broeck’s horses before,
and have a notion that one of them is a
Lexington two years old, which went
over with Starke last spring. A mail or
two will tell.— Wilkes’ Spirit of the Times.

Tbe. Latest Agon y. |
A Virginia lady, who resides not a
thousand miles from the town of F.,
whilst on a recent visit to some friends
I residing in the city of New York, made
j quite anew, novel, and (to her)-disas
| trous discovery: ‘ * ‘
’ It seems that the-yoemg-lady-i-n ques
j lion, mistook a gass burner iu her room
j for a bonnet rack and accordingly placed
her bonnet thereon. In her absence the
servant visited her room for‘the purpose
1 of lighting up tbe gas for the night, and
thinking that the bonnet was nothing
more nor less than tbe usual shade upon
the burner—not observing very closely—
lighted the gas and left the room. In a
short time thereafter the young lady re
turned to her room in order to gether
bonnet and some other paraphernalia,
but lo ! and behold ! she found that in her
absence her beautiful “love of a bonnet,”
had been converted into a pile of white
ashes—that it had burned up !
The Merchants of Charleston.
In tbe Charleston papers we And a
card signed by near sixty different mer
cantile firms of that city, addressed to
the merchants of the South and South
west, representing their facilities for sup
plying goods on terms as favorable as to
i price and credit as aoycity in the Union.
Their importations from abroad are very
large, and their facilities for obtaining
goods from Europe are unsurpassed by
any. They invite merchants of the South,
who trade with New York, to give Charles
ton a trial, aud if that city does not come
up to its professions, they will be sub
jected to little inconvenience as the op
portunities for going farther are offered
; every few hours.
New Inventions for Cotton Planters
It is generally known that Mr. George
G. Henry, of Mobile, has patented ati in
vention for spinning up cotton on planta
j tions. Since then he has obtained two
additional patents, one of which is for an
improvement in the treatment of seed
cottoD, by which Ire obtains oil, oil cake
and manure, the other is an improvement
in the art of saving cotton, by which it
can be picked not only while icet, but in
continuously wet weather.

Disturbances in Philadelphia—Riot
ous Anti-Slavery Demonstrations.
Philadelphia, December 15.—An anti
slavery fair was opened in this city to
day at Concert Hall, and an anti-slavery
meeting is also being held at the Assem
bly Buildings.
The contractors of the fair having sus
pended a large flag across the street in
front of the hull, with incendiary and ex
citing inscriptions upon it, the Mayor of
the city requested them to remove it,
which they refused to do. The Sheriff
j thereupon ordered the fair closed before
j 3 o’clock p. m., and the offensive flag was
removed.
The prompt and energetic measures of
the authorities caused intense excitement
among tbe Black Republicans and Aboli
tionists. A meeting of the anti-slavery
society was immediately called, to take
counsel as to what course they should
pursue.
They finally resolved, amid great ex
citement, to proceed in a body to the hall
for the purpose, as they declared, of pro
tecting their property.
Intense excitement prevails throughout
the city and there is every prospect of a
serious riot to-night, unless the authori
ties interpose.
G. W. Curtis lectures to night upon the
slavery question.
A conservative meeting has been called
outside to adopt measures to prevent the
dissemination of principles and senti
ments intended to arouse intense animos
ity and to check hireling incendiaries
from making inflammatory addresses.
The Mayor has taken every precaution
to prevent disturbances.
SECOND DISPATCH.
Philadelphia True to the Union.
Philadelphia, December 15, 9 p. m
The anti slavery demonstrations to-night
proved a miserable failure. The audi
ence assembled to hear Curtis did not at
any time exceed 200, while the conserva
tive meeting outside numbered 10,000.
The Union meeting was addressed by
John D. Miles, Richard Peters and other
gentlemen of the highest standing in our
copjm'inity, who advocated sound Union
sentiments, and proved that Philadelphia
was true to the Union.
The mob began to throw stones at the.
windows of the Curlis meeting, but the
demonstation was promptly suppressed,
and several of the rioters were arrested.
The Mayor and Sheriff were hissed by
some of the Curtis audience, but the bis
sers were expelled by the police, and
order was preserved during the delivery
of the lecture.
The excitement now appears to be sub
siding.

Estimate* of the Cotton Crop.
Neill Brothers’ circular for Liverpool
by the Europa estimates the cotton crop
at 4.300,000, the same as by last steamer.
Wright’s circular says that these high
figures are unwarranted.
Cincinnati Market.
Cincinnati, Dec. 14.—The money, mar
ket, to-day, closed decidedly more strin
gent. Hogs are quoted at $5 75 to $6 25
per head. Sales to-day amount to 5,000
head. The receipts of tbe season amount
to 247,000 head, against 278,500 head,
during the same time last year. Western
mess pork is quoted at sl6. Lard, in
barrels, is quoted at 10c.

How Colds Should he Treated.
Dr. Hall’s Journal of Health says that
there are three things which every man
should do the moment he is satisfied that
he has taken cold: Ist, eat nothing; 2d,
go to bed and cover up warm, in a warm
room; 3d, drink as much cold water as
he can or as he wants, or as much heyb
tea as he can ; and thus using himself, in
three cases out of four, the subject will
be cured in thirty-six hours. On the con
trary, if he allows his cold to go two
days tmmolesied, he can swallow noth
ing that will affect it in the least; and
the cold, with such a start, will run its
course of about a fortnight, and whatever
is swallowed then by way of physic, is a
useless hindrance. It is a mischievous
though somewhat popular fancy, “ feed
a cold and starve a fever.” Feeding a
cold is feeding a fever; a cold always
brings on fever, and never begins to get
well until the fever subsides, and every
mouthful swallowed is so much fuel to
sustain-the fires of fever. It is indeed
fortunate that as soon as the cold is fair
ly seated nature allows no appetite,
otherwise the most common colds may
be followed by very serious results, and
unless upon a very sturdy constitution
would almost prove fatal.

Death.
“ Let us be thankful for death. This*
may appear to some unreflective persons
an invitation so preposterous as to excite
their risibility. Thankful for death!
yes, indeed; what would becofltie of the I
world but for death ? How sood 1
be assimilated to hell! What a’ restraint j
on the wicked is th§ fear of it :J jHqw
much greater enormities they would prac- j
tice without it! And in the case of those
whom fear djes not “restrain, we are
comforted by the reflection that it will 4
soon rid us of them. Let us be honest
without making any mawkish preten
sious. I, for one, frankly acknowledge
that my sorrow for the wrongs perpetra
ted by certain princes and priests is
soothed by the anticipation of death soon
delivering the world of the burden of ‘
their villainy. Ho! miscreants! death, j
inevitable death, is on your track ! flow
the thought of it comforts me about you!
It is the Lord’s consolation, and 1 will
not shut my heart against it: ‘Fret not
thyself because of evil-doers ; neither be
thou envious against the workers of
iniquity; for they shall soou be cut
down as the grass, and wither as the
green herb.’ At the same time, then,
brethren, that we are ready to bear
death a grudge when he bereaves us of
our friends, let us be equitable and ac
knowledge his kindness when he destroys
our foes. Agaiu, what would become of
the Church without death ? Is he not the
Church’s most eloquent advocate ? Who
would enter it were it not death who ad
vises them to seek a refuge tbore ? And
who would rernaiu in it but for death's
persuasions!
“ Finally, is not death a messenger of
mercy, for whom the wearied saint will
wait and long with ardent desire that he
may deliver him from pain and sorrow,
and set his spirit at liberty for flying
away and entering into the heavenly
seat? The sin of the world being first
considered—as much as death is its pen
alty, so much is it a blessing in prevent
ing the evil consequences of sin rising to
such a height ns would have mnde life on
earth unendurable. Even the antedilu
vian duration of life has produced the
frightful result to such an extent that it
was necessary to change the system and
shorten the term. Three score years and
ten form a period long enough either for
sinD'mg or suffering. And it is long j
enough also for an active man doing so i
much good work as wil! qualify kirn for

Splendid Auroral Display off Cape
Horn—Tire Southern Eights Seen
from the “Southern Cfoss.”
The ship Southern Cross arrived at
San Francisco on the 22d of October from
Boston.
The Southern Cross, under Capt. Howe,
left Boston on the 10th of June, making
the passage in 134 days. She passed the
Straits of Le Maire, August the 10th, be
ing sixty days to Cape Horn. Then she
of course got the wind in her teeth,
and being reduced to her small canvass,
the stout ship battled the elements for
twenty three days off the Cape, the great
er part of the time in heavy gales of wind
frequent rain, hail and snow squat.s.
On the night of the 2d September, du
ring a tremendous gale, a wonderful phe
nomena manifested itself. The rare
spectacle of an aurora australis, or
Southern lights, was witnessed. It com
menced about 14 o’clock in the morning
and increased in splendor until towards
daylight when it gradually faded before
the light of day. Our informant states
that the whole heavens were of a deep
red, which color was reflected in the
ocean, upon which a fearfnl sea was run
ning. These were surm< unted by combs,
not of tho usual white, but almost blood
red. Some of the crew were much
frightened. Once during the night a
tremendous hail and snow squall hustled
upon the ship. Through the whole of
this the flames assumed the same roseate
hue, and when a spray flew over the ship
it fell to leeward in ruddy showers. Be
tween the squalls in the clear places in
the sky, the mysterious lights were seen
shooting up in spiral streaks nearly to
the zenith—now flasLing out in the in
tense darkness with meteoric brilliancy,
looming up against the horizon as with
the blaze of some terrible conflagration,
so that the glare was reflected upon the
sails. Capt. Howe and his officers say
that they have never witnessed anything
equalling this display for magnificence.
During the gaie, several times at night
brilliant eomosants, or balls of electric fire,
appeared flickering at the mast-heads,
yard-arms and other salient points.
Report of the Rail Road Engineer.
The Tallapoosa Times has been favor
ed by President Slaughter, with a peru
sal of a letter from the Engineer, which
shows that the cost of the Opelika and
Talladega Rail Road will fall much below
the average cost of roads. Indeed we are
assured that, for much of the distance,
nature seems to have contemplated the
enterprise, by the nice adaptation of the
surface of the earth, to the bed of a road.
We give below the estimated cost, as re
ported by the Engineer, and trust that
the friends of the enterprise will take
fresh courage, and soon give us the shrill
whistle of the Iron horse, to awaken the
energies of our people.

your readers will be interested, I give
you some of the facts which I learned
from Messrs. Blake, Scofield & Markham,
proprietors of this new branch of indus
try. Their business is the re-rolling of
worn-out rail road iron. Capital invested
$125,000. They employ 130 hands, and
work night and day. They burn 32 tons
of coal per day, costing $5 per tou. They
roll 30 tons of iron per day, which pays
S3O per ton. They pay Mark A. Cooper
for new iron for working with old rails,
about $2,500 per month. They pay
hands every two weeks from SI,BOO to
$2,500. The power used is two engines,
one of 100 horse power, and one of 24
horse power. Traveler.

From Charlestown.
Charlestown, Va„ Dec. 15.—The
town is rapidly filling up with strangers
to witness the approaching execution.
The system of excluding citizens adopted
on the occasion of Capt. Brown’s execu
tion is not to be repeated. Gov. Willard,
of Ind., accompanied by Mrs Crowley,
of New York, the sister of Cook, and the
Hon. D. 11. Voorhees, Attorney-General
of Indiana, arrived here yesterday and
visited Cook. The interview w'th his
sister was most affecting. Later in the
day, Dr. Staunton and his wife, of Indi
ana, and Miss Hughes arrived. Mrs.
Staunton is a sister of Cook, and Miss
Hughes a cousin. They also visited the
prisoner, presenting a scene of grief and
anguish scarcely to be described. They
all promised to see him again, but through
the advice of Gov. Willard, each wrote
him a few farewell lines and all the ladies
have left for their homes, the male rela
tives designing to remain with him to the
last. Arrangements have been made to
have the body of Cook taken to New
York for interment.
Some of Coppic’s relations are expect
ed to arrive to-day.‘ His body will be
sent to his mother, at Springdale, lowa.-
The bodies of Greene and Copeland,
it is thought, will not be claimed, and
will be decently interred near the gal
lows.
The prisoners this morning were cheer
ful, and making religious preparations
for death. Cook was much cast down
after parting with his sister, but is now
calm and collected, awaiting his doom.
The hotels and private, houses are all
crowded. A strict surveillance is kept on
strangers, though those who come from
curiosity and are well vouched for on the
question of our peculiar institutions, are
allowed to remain.
Three gentlemen, friends of Coppie,
visited him yesterday. He ‘lived with
them in Ohio during his boyhood, and
they speak of him as having been a quiet
and inoffensive youth. They will remain
with him until after the execution, and
take his body to his mother.
Gov. Willard’s interview with Cook last
evening for the purpose of delivering a
message to the prisoner from his sister,
Mrs. Willard, was very affecting. Gov
Willard is much attached to Cook, and
wept over him as if he was his own son.
His lamentations could be heard through
ou the building.
Charlestown, Dec. 16.—Shields Green
and John Copeland, the two negro Har
per s Ferry conspirators, have just paid
the forfeit of their lives The crowd in
town is very great, and the execution was
witnessed by at least 1,600 people.
At nine o clock the field was occupied
by the troops, and seven minutes before
eleven the procession made its appear
ance, and had arrived on the ground at
11.5 The prisoners were in a wagon, in
which also were the sheriff and jailor.
They mounted the scaffold with a firm
step. The caps were then placed over
their heads an appropriate prayer was
made by the Rev. Mr. North, of the Pres
byterian Church, and they were launch
ed into eternity.
Before the rope was cut Green was
heard to utter a fervent prayer, but
Copeland was not heard to pray.
Green’s neck was broken, and he died
without a struggle. Copeland writhed
in v.olent contortions for several minutes.
In the scaffold the prisoners bid adieu te
the three clergyn, eD> Messrs. North,
Vaugh, and Lehr, and hoped to meet
them in Heaven.
lhe drop fell at eleven minutes past
eleven. The bodies will be placed in jail
for interment to-morrow.
Last night, on the receipt of the news
of the attempted escape of Cook and Cop
pie, Gov. Wise telegraphed Gep.'Tuha.
ferro to take possession of the jail, .which
was accordingly done.
San Juan Island. Difficulty— The
Full Dispatches of Gen. Scott.
Washington, Dec. 15.—The full cor
respondence between General Scott and
Gov. Douglass, of Briiisli Columbia
touching the San Juan difficulty, and
which resulted in restoring the joint
military occupation of the Island, was
received at the State Department.
From this, it appears that Gov. Doug
lass first proposed a civil occupation of
tbe Island, with tbe organization of a per
mauent government, under magistrates
to be appointed’ by the two powers con
jointly. To this Gen. Scott objected, and
proposed instead, a return to the joint
j military occupation, which proposition
| was finally accepted and the terms agreed
upon.
| These terms are that only two conipa.
I nies are to be permitted ou tlie Island
one British and one American, each cod
sisling of a hundred men, and that all
other troops shall at once be withdrawn.
These two companies, moreover, are to
be under specific orders drawn up by the
two Governments conjointly.
In accordance with this arrangement,
orders were at once given for the with
drawal of all except one company cf the
American troo; s, and they were so with
drawn before Gen Scott left.
The British troops, however, had not
arrived on the Island when the General
sailed.
