The Grandest Eruption of Vesuvius Known for Centuries. THE INHABITANTS FLYING FROM THE VOLCANO— THE ERUPTION'S OF THE PAST. London. December 24—Noon.—Dispatches received from Naples mention that the erup tion of Mount Vesuvius is continually increas ing in power and splendor. Immense sheets of white, yellow and crimson flame rise hun dreds of feet above the crater, and at night the Bay of Naples is lighted np for miles.— Lava is pouring down the mountain sides in immense quantities, and large stones are occa sionally thrown out from the mouth of the volcano. A deep rumble, like reverberating thunder, is heard from time to time, as in the bowels of the earth*, and many of the people in the vicinity have left their homes, fearing an oarthquake or other calamity No such erup tion has probably occurred in Vesuvius for centuries, and the spectacle is regarded as one of the most magnificent and sublime ever witnessed in nature. PARTICULARS BY MAIL. Symptoms of the present eruption became evident as early as the 14th of November, the night of the meteoric display, and prognosti cations even some time prior to this date of an eruption were made by several scientific men accustomed to study volcanic phenomena. It is rather a carious coincidence that the first distinct evidence of volcanic action were per ceptible on the night of the meteoric display; which fact might lead to the supposition that between that celestial and this terrestial phe nomenon there was some subtle, incomprehen sible affinity. Whether this hypothesis is cor rect or not is a matter for abstruse speculation ; the fact remains that the present eruption has been a crescendo movement which commenced with a low, indistinct rumbling about the middle of November, and gradually the sub terranean thunders increased in sonorous vol ume to its present pitch of power, and now the grain valleys of Atrio del Cavallo glow with fierce subterranean fires, and the cone of the mountains bears its sparkling heaps of red- hot shingle and luminous sheets of sulphurous fires. Recent correspondents have described the incipient stages of this phenomenon as indica ting an eruption of lesser magnitude than that of 1858, for there was no such stream of lava as was then poured out of the mountain side. In this, the fire is high in air, glowing redly against the sky, with very little light reflecting back from above, but with a cloud of smoke that trembles with intense heat hanging over the crater. More than this, there are showers of stones which have more resemblance to what was hurled forth in the earlier eruptions than to the phenomenon of a few years ago.— Such showers make it dangerous to approach the edge of the crater, even on the south side, towards Pompeii, whe^ no lava is descending, but they add to the grandeur of the scene, and, after all, a reasonable visitor may be con tent to gaze upward from the Atiio del Cavallo, or to scramble a short distance only upon the hot and shifting scoria 1 of the cone. Body of the late Emperor Maximilian. The following is an account ef the ceremony of the delivery of the body of the late Arch duke Ferdinand Maximilian, of Austria, to Admiral Tegethcrff. by the Mayor of Vera Cruz, (Gefe Politico), appointed by the Government, and in accordance to the instructions as to the ; manner in which the ceremony was to be per formed : Veka Citez. Nov. 27, 1867. To the Editors of the Journal of Commerce: The body reached this city on the 25th at 3 p. m , under a strong escort of cavalry; the commander of the escort having in his charge a sealed parcel, containing the key of the cof fin, which he was instructed to place in the hands of the Mayor of the city. Tbe body was conducted and deposited in the parish church, where were in waiting the Mayor, members of the City Council, members of the Boards of Health and Charity, ar.d the princi pal federal and local authorities. The church was then ordered to be cleared by the police of the multitude, and sentries placed at the doors to prevent any one from entering. The admiral was then informed that everything was ready tor the delivery. He shortly appeared with his staff, all dressed in citizen's clothes and in deep mourning. The operation then commenced of opening a large deal case which was found to contain another case of zinc.— Enclosed was found a beautiful rosewood cof fin, on the top of which was a large and beau tifully carved cross, all the work of Mexican artizans. The Mayor then broke the seals of I the parcel containing the key. and presented it to the person in charge of opening the coffin.— The kej- was of gold, as also the hinges of the lids. The lid of tiie coffin raised, the body was exposed to view in its full length. The corpse was dressed in a full suit of black, and the hands in kid gloves. The face was perfect, and although of an ashy brown color, common to all embalmed bodies a few months after the operation of embalming has been performed, was easily’ recognizable. The coffin was lined throughout with velvet, and the body was cushioned in to prevent any movement, so that the head, hands, etc., were evidently in the same posh ion in which they had been placed originally. The admiral was then call ed upon to say whether he recognized in the body the Archdake of Austria, and whether From the Chattanooga Union. How “Ally Gator” Ascertained Gen. Grant's Politics.

I heard them say, We must find oat or the party is gone to thnnder I walked boldly up to the private office of the great mystery and handed in my card. The General took it with great respect, and ordered the attendant to show me in. General, said I, there is a great curiosity to know how you stand. About five feet seven, I believe, replied he. I mean where do you stand oil the issues of the day? I think the issues stand on me more than I do on them. I began to get discouraged, but made an other effort. Frankly, now, General, what are yonr pol itics ? I generally smoke Havanas. Will yon try one? I took it, and we smoked in silenced awhile. What is your opinion of the recent elections? I inquired. The fastest trotter in America, he replied, is undoubtedly Dexter. Bonner was lucky in getting him at any price. I told him I admired his dexterity, but it was no use to eviide the question with me. Honestly now, said 1, which do you prefer, the policy of the Republican party as shown in Southern reconstruction, or that of Democ racy, that white men shall rule America? He blew a tremendous cloud of smoke, and simply replied— 1 do. But which? I persisted ; for they both claim you. It is one thing to enter a claim, he coolly replied, and another to get your Grant.

In past eruptions, the earthquakes have come before the stones and lava were discharg ed—whilst Vesuvius was struggling with re pressed volumes of gas; and now that outward action has begun, the greatest danger of vol canic regions is temporarily over; yet,’ not withstanding, the present eruption may be one of terrific power and appaling splendor. This mountain is often spoken of by ancient Roman writers without allusion to its volcanic character; and that such had always been its nature was only inferred from the ingneous character of its roeks, as observed by Strabo. Deodorus Sico’us remarks that it had “many signs of having been burning in ancient times.” Its first recorded eruption occurred -in the month of August, A. D. 70, and it wa3 during this that the cities of Pompeii and Herculane* uni were buried beneath the .scoria: and ashes, the quantities ejected far exceeded the bulk of the mountain. In the eruption of 1C66 the first flow of lava occurred. The total number of its great eruptions down to'the present time has been about sixty, some of which has been chiefly remarkable for the vast movement ta king place in a short time. Between 1306 and 1631, no eruption occurred except a slight one in 1500. The eruption of 1G31 was accompanied with great currents of lava, which flowed over most of the villages at its base, and at the same time torrents of boiling water were sent forth. That of 1779 was grand and terrible; white sulphurous smoke, like heaps of cotton rose up in piles four times as high as the mountain and spread about it to a proportional extent, and masses of rock were projected to a height of at least 2,000 feet. In the terrible eruption of June, 1694, in which the town of Tarre del Greco was destroyed, a single stream of lava was estimated as containing more than 46,- 000,000 square feet. In 18U2 the whole top of the mountain was broken up, forming an elip- tical chasm three miles in circumference and 2,000 feet deep. In May, 1855, the flood of lava destroyed the village of Cercolo. An eruption occurred in June, 1858, another in August, 1859, and one of great violence in December, 1861. The convulsion in the last continued for several days, and even up to January 1, 1862, the trembling of the earth had uot ceased, and exhalations of gas in the the ar chives of the city.) which was sigued hy the Admiral and his staff, the Mayor and all the authorities, members of the city council, etc. All then retired, leaving the body in the church, with the doors well guarded by a Mex ican guard of infantry, until the next morning, when it was quietly embarked without any military honors, and taken on board the Aus trian frigate Novara, (the same which brought him to thi3 country,) and she proceeded to sea immediately. The cofliu was furnished at the expense of the Mexican government, and all the expenses of transporting the body to Vera Cruz has been defrayed by it also. The Hew Department Commanders. MAJOR GENERAL GEORGE G. MEADE. Major General George G. Meade is the son of Consul R. W. Meade, and brother fo Com mander Richard W. Meade, of the U. S. navy, ne was born at Cadiz, Spain, in 1816, and graduated at West Point June 30, 1835. En tering the army as second lieutenant of artil lery. he remained only about a year, and hav ing resigned his commission in October, 1836, lived in retirement nearly six years. On the I9tli of May, 1842, he received the appoint ment of second lieutenant of Topographical Engineers, and, in that capacity, served thro' the Mexican war, distinguishing himself in the battles of Palo Alto and Monterey. After passing through the intermediate grades, he attaint'd the rank of Major in June, 1862, and was appointed Brigadier General of volunteers in August of the same year. Gen. Meade was at the battle of Mechanies- ville, on the 26tli of June, 1S62 ; and also took part in tlpit of Gaines’ Mill, on the next day. A few days afterwards he was wounded, but not seriously. At the battle of Antictam, Sept. 7th, 13*62, he had two horses killed un der him, and was again slightly wounded. In the battle of Fredericksburg, in Deceaiber, 1862, when the Union forces under General Burnside, after severe fighting, were defeated with great loss, Meade distinguished himself by a display of courage, and two days after wards superceded Gen. Butterfield in the com mand cf the fifth armv corps. On the 28th knows where yon stand on politics? Why, Ally, said he, I don't stand on polities at all. If a man is respectable, I don’t mind his politics. Would you accept a nomination for the Presidency? I thought I had him now; hot he simply blew a cloud of smoke, and looked at it mu singly, replied— Kentucky would have made a splendid raca against time, the other day, if he hadn’t bolted the track • After this he rose, and seemed tired of the conversation. I took the hint, but was determined to find out something before I went; so, as I arose from my chair, I inquired— General, is there any truth in the newspaper reports about your political views? Ally, said he, I have talked to yon with greater freedom on political subjects, than I have ever allowed myself to do even with Washburn. I know the high character of the journal which you represeut. and I have felt it my duty to unbosom myself fully to you. No living man knows as much of my views as you do. I thanked him for the compliment,and bow ed myself out of the room. From the New Albany Ledger. A Strange Incident in a Soldier’s Life. ANECDOTE OF JEFFERSON DAVIS. A citizen of LaFa3 - ette township in this county, relates.to us the following anecdote: While Jeff. Davis was a Lieutenant of Dra goons in the United States army, Mr. Patrick' II. Coleman, nephew to John Coleman, Esq., of this county, well known and universally esteemed, was a private in the same regiment. The portion of the regiment to which Davis and Coleman belonged was stationed on the frontier, and was much distressed for want of subsistence. Being far removed from civili zation, it was necessary when a soldier became so ill that he coaid not sit on his horse, and the probabilities were that he would die, to place him at the foot of a tree, chop a limb By virtue of the authority vested in the Cen tral Executive Committee, the following Com mittees are hereby appointed for the several Senatorial Distinct* in this State, ami they are i requested to organize Conservative Chibs in him • tbeir respective Counties without delay, ami prepare, for action when the Constitution to be prepared bv the Convention now in session in Atlanta shall bo-submitted to the people for ratification or rejection: 1st District; Chatham, Bryan , Effingham. 2nd District, , Liberty, Tatnall McIntosh. 3rd District; Wayne.

V. met her at a pic nic, and as she was the first lady he had ever met that conld make him feel at ease in her society, he fell violently in love with her. His bashfulness, under, the skillful tutelage of the governess, wore rapidly away, and ere long he had consented to become her bridegroom. The bridal party stopped at a Cincinnati hotel, and after many a weary hour, the most momentous moment in a man's whole life arrived for Verdant. On two chairs were piled a pyramid of skirts, c-tc., and on a table near the head of the bed the astonished eye of Ytrdant beheld a rendered less effective by the wounding of Gen. Longstreet. After the close of the war, Gen. Meade was assigned to the Department of the East, including the New’ England States, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Fort Delaware, and had his headquarters at Pnila- driphia. On the 19th of April, 1865, the Fe nians having invaded Canada, General Meade went to Eastport, took command in person, collected troops at that point, and he also, acting under Gen. Grant’s order, assigned Gen. Barry to the command of ihe frontier during the’ second invasion, ia the June following. MAJOR GENERAL IRWIN M'DOWELL. General Irwin DcDowcll was born in 1818, in Ohio, and is a nephew of the late Ger. Cass. He received his education in France, and after his return to America was admitted to the Military Academy at West Point, where he graduated in 1838, being a classmate of Gen. Beauregard. He was assigned to the artillery. On the breaking out of the rebellion he was appointed, with the rank of Brigadier General, to command the Union forces at Alexandria, tree, and remarked to him: “ So, ray poor fellow, you are going to die?” Coleman replied, “ I suppose so.” Davis then put his hand in hi= pocket prid ed out the handful of berries he had gathered for his own subsistence, and laid them down by Coleman’s side, saying: You need them “ The Irrepressible” Jugged. That pestilent pettifogging perambulating nuisance, Aaron Alpeoria Bradley has at last fallen into the hands of the Philistines. The facts in the case as we have learned them, are as follows: Yesterday evening, as Mr. John E. Hayes, editor of the Republican, was walking down the Bay with a friend, Bradley met him and commenced talking about what he called the abuse of himself which appeared in the Re publican yesterday morning. Mr. Hayes asked him how he dared to speak to him, and ordered him to leave or he would have no more scruples in shooting him than he would a skunk. Bradley withdrew and .Mr. II. passed on to his office. In a few minutes Bradley came to the window, accompanied by several negroes, shook his fist at Mr. H , cursed him and dared him to come out on the street.

He has been severely censured for allowing his troops to become separated from those of McClelland in the noted “seven days’ battle,” as. by this mistake, that Gener al's plans were frustrated. When the country was divided into Military Departments, Gen. McDoweil was place-1 over the Department of and pointed it at the brute—which di i not change its position—fired and killed it.

The origin is not only amusing but historical. Charles I. of England, granted numerous monopolies for the support of the government. Among oth ers was the manufacture of paper. The water mark of the finest sort was the royal arms of England. The consumption of this article was great at this time, and large fortunes were m-.de by those who had pureba-.ed the exclu sive right to vend it. This, among other mo nopolies, was set aside by the Parliament that brought Charles I. to the scaffold, and by way of showing their contempt for the King, they ordered the royal arms to be taken from the paper, and a fool with bis cap and bell3 to be substituted. It is now over two hundred years since the foolscap and bells were taken from the paper, but stiil the paper of the same size whi’h the Rump Parliament ordered for their journal bears the name of the water marks as an indignity to Charles.
