A Carious and Ifoii Remarkable
Work.
Through tbe kindness of a friend, we have
been permitted to examine a unique map show-
lag Ibe boundaries of the ancient domains of
Iks several Highland clans, ao famous in Scot
tish history. Aooompanyiog this map is a his
torical geography, giving tho name of each
elan, tbe nnmber of Ita followers, tha title of
tbe Ltlrd, ita battle cry or slogan, btdges. po-
eatisritlas, eto. A auoeinct but moat Interesting
ikatob follows also of the landing, career, de
feat aid flight of tho unfortunate Prince
Ghules, ondcr whose banner nearly all the
highland ehlefs strayed themselves. It was
tbs lest grand display of the rode ohivalry of
Beotia, who, clad In tartan and plaid, and arm-
td with shield and brand, marched to tbe
thriekiog melody of the pibroch, and devoted
their lives to the service of their Liege. Un-
ikilled in military taotloa, and laoking the dis
cipline of an organized host, still never did the
pdtdina of old exhibit anblimer deads of daring
or greater fidelity to the oanso they had es
poused. Not even the poorest of their follow
ed could be induoed to betray tbe royal fugi
tive, In bla wsnderlcgs and distress.
The battle of Gnllodeu sealcx} the fate of tha
pMlecder. Then followed the remorseless
boleherisi of the Duke of Cumberland and the
edict of Parliament disarming the clans, dis-
mrobetlog tbeir territories, abolishing their
eoetnme, and destroying the Individuality and
Identity of these famone tribal organizations

pendent sovereignties for ages. Henoeforth

At the battle of Onlloden in 1746, tbe Mo-
Intoshei acted with signal gallantry. After
wards tho Uev. Doctor's ancestors emigrated to
Georgia, and settled tho town of New Inver
ness, now oalled Darien. Here, too, the gallant
blood of a noble race eviuoed itself in the first
straggle for American Independence, and tho
family have been ever noted for their bravery
and courteous bearing. Now, they are scattered
far sad wide, nover again to be united.

Those scraps of unwritten history abonld be
carefully garnered np, and preserved for the
benefit of posterity. The obroniolers of Georgia
are singularly few in number, and there is no
complete and properly arranged reooid of her
colonial condition, and the share her sons bore
in the itiuggle for Independence, and the sev
eral ware through which the nation has passed.

Race Equality m ita Last Analyst*.
The Montgomery Advertiser of .pics from tho
New York Grapbio a letter dated “The Mosses,
Franklin consty, Alabama, Jons 10th, 1873,”
and aigned Gao. A. Tomlinson, il. D., arguing
to the length of three columns in favor of a
blocd amalgamation of tho white and negro
races in tho Bomb, as the blessed consumma
tion of ail these race equality doctrines of the
radicals. This would, in the opinion of Dr.
Tomlinson, harmonize and mulattolze the
Southern Stales—peopling them with what he
calls an "Albanegrine" race, in whose skins the
rich African tints wooid stmggie for disclosure
through the delicate and transparent entide of
the Anglo-Saxon; and he cites example and
authority to prove that the hjbrid would be an
improvement evory way on tho original stock.
. There was a good deal of aimilar talk in the
Northern pipers during the war; but the phi
losophers of that section have given a very few
practical iilnatraUona and examples in tha es
foreatnent of their theories. Once in a great
while we read of each connections among the
vagabond claries, but none among people of
character and respectability. They all decline
to fate with tho negro. Their philosophy, the
ories and polities on this point, are held for the
benefit of others, and not themselves—bnt they
all find their tut analysis in hybridism. ■
All (he eonatitntional ‘'menmonta” as Sambo
calls them, as well u “do enfostment," have no
philosophy at all nnieu resolving themselves
finally into war against every “distinction on
sooonnt of race, color or previons condition!
Tbs ridiculous and oppressive enactments,
8tate and Congressional, enforcing social con
taot of the white and African raeea looks to
breaking down, at first by stern force of law,
and then by tha slower influences of habit and
anstom, of that "prejudice on account of color”
which tbeir preachera and politicians alike de
nounce as nnjnst, unnatural and wicked, and
thus paving the way for oomplete social aoalga.
mation, wbioh they regard as the only practical
and equally inevitubla aolntion of tha discords
and incongruities of such a conatitnenoy as they
have erected for ns.
’Well, they have dona many things which wo
did not believe possible, and they may anoceed
in this grand oonBnmmation of tbeir political
theories. Bat we Bhali not believe it, till wo
seo it. Via think this scheme ia a war against
□stare, wbioh has been attended with practical
defoat wherever attempted.
In Qayti the negroes themselves defeated it
first by the extermination of the whites, and
then by a successful war of aggregation from
tbe mnlattoes. So in Jamaica, nothing but pare
black is tolerated by the negroes. If we look
at Mexioo and Central and Sooth America we
see that mongrelism there has been punished by
a mental, moral and physical debasement below
tho level of the lowest party to it, and that so
far from improving either rsoe, it bns exagger
ated the faults, vices and defects of both, and
has resulted in a population mean, skulking,
knavish, degraded and worthless in tbe last do
gree, without a single virtue of either raeo. Thus
praolioally has the Providenoe of God put the
seal of reprobation upon an association at war
with tho suggestions of Nature through tho five
bodily senses.
We trust and believe that the schemes of
these Badioai doctrinaires to debase the whole
Smthem race will come to nanght. They de
atroyed onr governments—debased onr citizen
ship and suffrage, and will not rest easy until
they have muddied and poisoned the fountains
of onr manhood and social life. They are the
kako-dalmonoi—the evil demons of the South,
bnt we trust will have got to the length of their
’(other before they bybrd zj onr people.
“Let Independence be enr Boast,”
Siys “Hail Columbia!” bnt how can it be
when we have got none of that articio 7 The
Independence won by onr patriotio forefathers
through the straggles, sufferings and privations
of seven years of war was (as a matter of sober
aad indisputable foot) lost by ns in the rebel
lion (so-called), and our oondition, as no one on
earth will deny, is no', one of independence, but
of subjection to mastery. We ain’t sing that
(nne to-day. It ia blotted ont of onr political
hymn book. Nor, in faot, oan wa aing any one
of tbe old psalms of liberty srithont being guilty
of transparent lying.
These were meant for a people living under
a self-elected and free government—a govern
ment of their own ehoioe, which ia tbe founda
tion fact of all free, popular government—and
when it ceases to be a faot, makes a popular
government the most oppressive of ail govern
ments,* beeanse it pnta yon under a good many
irresponsible masters, who don’t love yon and
are not sorry to see yon* suffer. It is, there
fore, in faot as well as in philosophy a good
deal worso than tho paternal monarchies of the
Old World.
A free popular government is tbe best gov
ernment, when conducted in harmony with its
foundation principles; bnt when these are lost
sight of or ignored, it becomes a very opprea
sive ard dangerous machine. The people of
the North do not care, just now, whose toos tbe
iron wheel is crashing, because it is running on
Southern toe*; bat when tbe wheel spins ronnd
and ruus in their direction, they will groan like
good fellows.
And that, some day, this old wheel will take
a tarn (tnd run over tho North is very probable.
What is to hinder when it rnns on no fixed and
immutable principles of law, bnt only by force
of popular passions? When It is employed
simply aa a minority crushing machine? Noth
ing is more fleeting and volative than the pop
ular whim, and the enemies of oonstitational
rule, the Baiieaia, have committed themselveB
to soma cratches which are sure to hurt them
before long.
Let us hope that, aa in tbe case of England
after her great civil war, experience will so
instruct the people of the United States that
they will loam that nothing is ao valuable in
government as rigid adherenee to fundamental
principles, and nothing so delusiTe and rninons
03 running a government “outaide the constitu
tion.” Let us hope that in the coarse of time
oar children may seo the Government of the
United States reconstructed or brought back to
the solid basis of fundamental law, and admin
istered with impartial joatioe for the mainten
ance of all the rights and liberties of the States
and the people of Stales, end not to carry ont
the mere hobbies of politicians, as bitter and
prejudiced as they are ignorant and snpetficiAl.
Tbe Sew Orleans Vondon.
The Sna says the annual celebration of the
heathentsh Voudou rites in New Orleans took
place this year on the eve cf St. John’s day, as
usual, and created a great excitement among
the colored population of that dry. Vondonirm,
which U simply the worship of the devil, has
many followers among the blacks of Louisiana,
and the recurrence of the annual saturnalia is
an event which creates a general interest among
all classes of negroes, including those who do
not acknowledge to a belief in the snppersti.
tiona it commemorates and encourages. The
believers in Tondonism hold that the devil has
supreme power to punish, and that he mast xs-
nniUy be propitiated with a gift and a festival
held in his honor. At tho same time it is be
lieved necessary to entire the demon by songs
and danses to take possession of the worship
pers, after which by a sudden rush into cold
water ho is driven avay, taking with him all the
sins tho believers have committed, daring the
past year. This year the festival was held at an
elbow on the lake shore, near Bayon Si. John,
on the edge of a noisome swamp. It took place
after dark, by the light of bonfires, and the
beastly orgiee, of s nature too shocking to de
scribe, were kept np by a great crowd of negro
men and women daring tho entire night.

Csops m Pout, Floxd and Ohxttoooi Coun-
ties.—The Rome Commercial has this cheerful
report:
We have been highly gratified at tbe crop
news we have reoeived daring the past week
from Floyd, Chattooga and Polk count ie*. The
wheat crop has been harvested and a large part
of it threshed ont. In Borne sections of these
three oonntiea about a half crop has been made
—the crop will cot, however, average exceeding
a third. Tbe oat crop is good, and the yield will
probably be greater than for a nnmber of years
—tbe heads are large, fine and well developed,
and the sli t is unusually good. Cloveris look
ing splendidly—the great trouble ia not enongh
ground In clover. Very tittle rye is grown in
these counties. Corn never looked better nor
promised a larger yield—the stalks are all large
and fine, and tbe ear is well developed for this
early in the season—this crop will, with good
seasona, be the largest slnoe the war. Cotton
is prom'sing, and nnle-s no unforeseen accident
should happen, the cotton crop will be very
heavy.
And tho Barnesvtile Gazette has this report
of tbe crops in that section :
The Caora.—Most of the farmers in this lec
tion are about to ‘ 'master tbe situation,” and re
port that they will soon be ont of tbe grass.
Thev have bad a splendid time daring the past
week for grass killing—no rains to interrupt
them. With one more good rain at the proper
time, the early corn crops will be made, whioh
promises to be the best since the close of the
war. The wheat crop is being threshed ont,
sod is giving a good yield. We hear of no
complaint concerning the cotton crop, and the

A Fceschmin from Dnblin who thought hia
wife did not properly appreciate him, jumped
into a well on Tnesday night, at Atlanta, in or

and the poiioe raiaed him to the top, thoroughly
sober, and satisfied with his experiment.
A bout Riobt.—The Savannah Advertiser and
Republican takes this pointed and altogether
correct view of the reoent dnel between two
York fashionables, Gray and Hecksher, tha lat
ter of whom was accused by the former of ae-
daring Mrs. Gray. It says:
In everything essential save one this society
duel was an apish imitation of what Northern
jonrnais claim ns an institution patronized only
by Southern ruffians and bravos. That essential
was blood. Eat Sunthern gentiemen do not re
sort to the field for the settlement of difficulties
of the character of the one between Gray and
Hecksher. And here it was that these society
snobs failed in the imitation. Men in this sec
tion do not ask those who have despoiled their
hearthstones ont at siz paces, tip them a polite
bow, send a harmless shot after them, bow again,
sod then rash to a divoroe court. The honor
of msn ia defended in a more summary way, and
tbe wrongs of women find a quicker and a surer
revenge. So far as tbe violation of written and
moral law goes, the offence of Gray and Heck
sher was almost as violent as that of Mordecai
and Maoarlby, of Virginia. Their intent,
judged by their actions beforehand, was to
kill—to spill blood—in the language of tbe New
York dailies, “to commit murder.” They merely
lacked the requisite nerve to make tbe offenon
oomplete. Tbe Virginia dnel was held np as a
picture of Southern civilization. We hoist this
New Yoik society duel by its side, and invite a
comparison.

Choleba in Atlanta.—The Constitution, of
yesterday, announces that there-is a case of gen
uine Asiatio cholera in that city, and says:
It ia at a boesa bnt a few hundred yards from
the residence of a Constitution editor. At sup
per last night he was informed of the oase, and
within an bonr thereafter he had called upon
aU the attendant physioians. Tbe physioians
seen were informed that facts must bs pub
lished, and it would be best for the pnblio that
the statement should be fall. Thereupon Dr.
J. M Horing, (also one of our aldermen) said
that on Saturday last, at 2 V. M., tbe sick lady
in qnestion reached here from Chattanooga,
where she bad been living in a cholera neigh
borhood. She has been in feeble health for
years. Bepairiog to her mother's residence,
she felt no nnnsusl tronble till Monday after
dinner, when diarrhoea began, which was
checked by some medicine in the house. About
11 Monday night it again commenced, watery
discharges continuing through Tuesday. At
10$ A. M. Wednesday (yesterday) Dr. Boriag
was called in, when he fonnd the patient In a
state of collapse, with crimps in arms and legs,
and congestion throughout. He immediately
applied remedies, and at 2 p. at. called in Dr.
W. L. Armstrong, and Dr. Bozeman Baird was
also present about 7 o'clock,- Late last night
all hope of recovery was abandoned. We shall
report farther in oar afternoon edition. So it
will be seen that this case was clearly imported
from Chattanooga, a thing we oannot prevent.
In 1SC6 we had several eases and deaths here
among the soldiers, bnt not s single outside
case appeared in the city.
Bulloch's famous carriage which “they say”

each, to appear at the next term of the Distriot
Court at Savannah.
The Chronicle and Sentinel says it ia reported
in that city that a company is bring formed
there “for the purpose of building a splendid
hotel with all the modern improvements, on
Broad street near the centre of the city.”
A New Factobt.—The same paper has the
following:
Messrs H. F. Kassell and 0. W. Simmons
have purchased a site an the Augusta canal,
about a hundred and fifty feet above the powder
works, upon which they propose to erect a fac
tor*. Building operations will commenoe im
mediate'.*. Ground has already been broken
for the foundations. The factory will be de-
Toted for the present to the manufacture of
rope and yarns. Its operations will probably
be enlarged after a short time, however. Thn3
the increased water power to ba famished by
the canal enlargement is already being utilized,
and we may confidently look forward to the
erection of many more factories in the future.

the caaies that lead to the duel between Cooley
and Bhe'.t, which resulied ia tha death of the
former:

Tbe Indiana on tbe Plains.
There have been many conflicting acoonnta,
■ays tbe Son, published regarding the disposi
tion of tbe Sionx Indians in relation to the con
struction of the Northern Pacific railroad, a
matter of pnblio importance, in view of the
military preparations which have been made for
the protection of the parties engaged in bnild-
ing the road. Wo have information from the
most trustworthy sources which would indioata
the probability of serious trouble before the
season ia over. Four years ago the Sionx, with
tbe exception of one tribe, were mostly wild,
and many of them hostile to the whites. Sinoe
then the Taaktons have gone to farming and
building houses, and among the varions tribes
there are abont 3009 Indians who are partially
civilized. Tbe whole nnmber of Sioux Is about
35,000. Ail the agencies on tbe Missouri river
have missions which are in charge of the Epis
copal Church, with the exception of the Grand
Biver mission, which is in charge of tbe Boman
Catholics. The Sioux who are now wild and
hostile are those roaming in tbe region of the
Black HiUs and the Powder river. They not
only kiU the whites when they get an opportu
nity, bnt defy ihe Government. The agencies
for these wild Indians are Bed Cloud and While
Olay, or Spotted Tail, the former thirty-five
miles and the letter two hundred mUes from
Fort Laramie. Very many of the older Indians
and chiefs connected with these two agencies
are peaceable, bnt the yonng men are not.
These come and go with the war parties, and a
good many have recently gone north, it ia sap-
posed to meet Stanley's expedition. With the
vary wild Indiana, enoh as Sitting Bril’s party,
there are no missionaries, as it wonld not be
safe for white man to go among them. The
Sionx reservation originally embnoed all that
part of Dakota west and south of the Missouri
river, bnt by a treaty made in 1868 the lands
north of latitude 46 degrees were ceded to the
Northern Pacific Bailrosd. A delegation of
Indian commissioners have visited the Bed
Clond agency hoping to make snch arrange
ments as wonld indnoe the Indians to refrain
from interfering with the construction of the
railroad, and also to give np the right of hunting
on the Bepnblloan river, bnt it is donbtfni if
any arrangements oan bs made which the Wes
tern Sionx wiU oonsider binding upon them.
The best authorities estimate that there are one
thousand Sionx warriors who are to be classed
as hostile, and who are likely to remain so un
less they are snbdned by foroe.
What It Amounts To.
A careful examination of tho increase of
salaries voted by the Bick pay Congress made
by the Chiosgo Tribune, shows that the sum
actually teken out of the Treasury over and
above the anm previously required to pay the
salaries of the same offioials, amounts in ronnd
numbers to a million fire hundred thousand
dollars a year.
What does this great snm of one million and
a half represent? At the rale of fire per cent,
whioh ia tbe largest interest that the Secretary
of the Treasury is authorized by the latest sets
of Congress to pay upon borrowed mooey, the
interest upon one million is fifty thousand dol
lars a year, npon ten millions five hnndred
thousand, and npon thirty millions jnst one
million and a half. The salary grab then repre
sents thirty millions of dollars.
It is clear then that this swindle has added
substantially to the debt of tbs United States
tha sum of $30,000,000. In other words, if
President Grant and his back pay Congress bad
taken out of the Treasury $50,000,000 in cash
and divided it among themselves the amount-
tbns taken wonld have been no more than
equivalent to the annual charge whioh their de
sires have saddled npon the people and the in
dnstry of Ihe oonntry.
Tbe Late Jesse It. Grant.
The Cinoinnati Commercial Bays:
Tbe figure of Mr. Grant was one that wonld
attract attention nt>on tbe street Large
framed, massive, and before age had bent his
form, like Sani, a head and shonider above hia
brethren, moving along with an abstraoted air,
and taking little or no no'te of the cnrianB gaze
that sorntinized him as he passed. There wag
that about the 6quare set features, ami in the
firm linen of the month, whioh impressed one
with a sense of real power in the man, and
made one look a second time and closer at him.
The head was larga and set npon a stout, bread
pair of Bhonlders. The faoo was as clearly of
tbe Scotch type as tbe granite of the Aberdeen
Hills, and as firm and resolute. The forehead
was broad and massive; tbe eyea oold, clear
and gray, with a wise, deliberate expression in
them, and no more likely to betray the feel-
ings of tbe man than the strong-lined and de
cided month.
Dressed in a plain cloth suit—a frock coat
made with small regard to the prevailing fash-
ioD, and slcncby pantaloons coming down over
low ent shoes, bnt not always concealing the
homespun wool socks, a silk hat rather the
worse for wear coming down well on tho head,
tho rim in front almost tonching tbe large-
bowed ailver-monnted spectacles astride his
nose, and a cotton nmbrella under hia arm,
Mr. Grant was one of the most remarkable
figures to be seen on the street of a pleasant
afternoon.
It would be a grays mistake to measure the
Mr. Grant of fifteen, or even ten yeara ago,
by himself in the last years of his life, when the
faculties of hia mind began to show symptoms
of decay. He was a man of hard and shrewd
sense in business matters, lacking in ideality
and imagination, and of slow and deliberate
judgment. He was a self adviser, and was con
sulted aa a prudent counselor and a mac of un
questionable integrity by his neighbors in Cler
mont and Brown. We believe he wa3 a local
magistrate in the latter for many years; at any
rate, if not officially snob, he was as muoh con
sulted aa an English 'Squire, and his opinions
carried great weight with them.
The Cholera In Chattanooga.
The following telegrams appear in the Atlanta
Constitution of yesterday:
Chattanocoa, Jnly 2,1, p. m —Twelve deaths
have oaourred since 8 o'clock yesterday even
ing. The southern portion of the city is fall of
cases, bnt tbe disease tbns far has net spread
north of Ninth street The doctors and official
authorities do not keep an aeconnt of the new
cases. The number of them ia very large.
Since Ihe disease has become so general and
fatal they only note the deaths. Lookout.
Chattanocoa, Jnly 2, 1873.—The cholera is
rsgiDg fearfully to day, and the excitement is
intense. Many are srild with apprehensions of
sudden death. They gather in gronps, and the
exaggerated stories which they,hear only serTe
to increase the pauio. People are fleeing in
ovary direction. Some left their work and left
without a word. Tory few wealthy or prominent
men are now In the city—only poor people are
left for the awful disease to prey npon. Sixteen
deaths have been reported so far to-day, and
the grave diggers have now got fourteen graves
dag. Two of the dead are employees of the
Western and Atlantio Railroad Company—Hop-
wood and. O’Bsnnon. It is difficult to pick ont
the troth in the appalling excitement. It is
impossible to get a fall list of the dead and
dying to night. Lookout.
A Card.
New Yobk, June 30, 1873.
Editori Telegraph and Meeeenger.' Pnblio-
ity having been given through the columns of
the New York Herald (and oopied- in many of
the Georgia papers) to a marriage notice." in
serted without my knowledge or eodtent, I ask
yon in justice to myself to give this card a place
in your earliest issue. It is a mallcioua fabri
cation, a deliberate falsehood. No ceremony aa
published, in connection with the party therein
named, eras ever performed, and I pronounce it
an infamous invention in toto. I am as yet
“heart whole,” but not “heart hungry."
Yours truly,
David H. Ross.
The Fbezdhzn’s Bureau.—After a series of
impudent denials, (says a Washington special
to the Louisville Courier. Journal) the corrup
tion of the Freedmen’a Bureau is beginning to
be generally acknowledged; and the question
now ia whether General Howard shall be tried
by a court-martial or proceeded against by
civil prooess or on official bond. It now ap
pears that for Howard's vsry Urge disburse
ments the Government only required a pitiful
bond of ten thonaand dollars. It ia in the power
of the Government to save Howard if they wish
by a shim prosecution on bi3 bond, or by so or
ganizing a oonrt-mirtia! as to acquit him. It
is clearly the right cf tbe Government to pro
ceed against hint by both remedies; but what
tha Attorney General will advise remains to be
seen. Tbit any vigorous effort will be pursued
to bring him to jnstioe ia believed by very few
persons.
Pectle in search of felicity are flecking to
Danville, N. EL, this summer. Thera ia not a
lawyer, dootor, lightning-rod man, sewing mi-
ehine agent nor hotel clerk in the place, while
more n»«n four hnndred beautiful, long-haired,
rosy-cheeked, bright-eyed maidens, with natu
ral teeth and white dreaees, meander through
tbe streets at eventide, chewing gum and imil*
ing'on the few young men about. So, at least,
rays a Western paper.

DAT DISPATCHES.
Baaday Beer Slapped.
New Yobk, Jnly 3.—The Excise OommiasioD*

Love aad Fixes.

yonng man named Nodi or, who with his ounsin,
named Edward Bnchler, was found suffering
from the effects of poison, it was disooverac

of this generation has any great criminal issue
been so promptly and aatisfactorially tried in

dicates that the reaotion of tbe mawkish pity
which for so long a time bore sway in jury
boxes, has began.
The Times Hays the moral offset of the ver-
diot was needed and an acquittal wonld have
been to invitation to every youth, having a dis
solute and tyrannioal father, to whip him.
After alluding to the prominent defenders
of tbe prisoner and the aoenes generally attend'
ing the trial, the Herald says the wonder is
that jnstioe herself was not blind on this occa
sion ; but society has to be protected, and how-
ever crnel or brutal, tha trial was conducted in
the moat exemplar; manner.

A Brilliant United States Plenipotentiary.
Panama, June 24 —A letter from Lima, dated
13th, to the Star and Herald, says tbe present
position of Americans in Pern, diplomatically
speaking, is as anomolou3 aa unprecedented-
Mr. Thomas, the plenipotentiary of the United
States, haa Rtndionlly declined, since his as-
snmption of hia dignity, any effort of making
himself acquainted with the condition or wauls
of his countrymen in this repnblic. He recently
left hia legation ostensibly for a trip to Califor-
nia, and oaretalty ignoring tha rights of CoL
Williamson, the consul at Callao, and an officer
whose proceedings have always met with tbe
approbation of his government, to bold the
vacant poet daring Mr. Thomas’ absence, re
signed the charge of the legation to a private
secretary, who posseaaeB no diplomatic character
whatever, beings simple employe of Ur.Thom-
as, without any commission from the Govern
ment at Washington, and, consequently, our
people in Peru find themselves in the peculiar
situation referred to. Should any pressing ne
cessity oooar for diplomatic action or interven
tion, and it is well known that in these repub
lics such occasions sre frequent, we wonld be
obliged to patiently await the retnrn of Mr.
Thomas from his pleasure voyage.
Tbe Vlrglnlns.
The notorious Bteamer Virginias is again in
the harbor of Aspinwall. A Spanish ram of war
entered the port on the 21st nit., and on the
same day also the United States steamer
Kansas.
What the nrssion of the Spanish vessel is
has not transpired; but the Kansas, it will be
remembered, is the same ship which over a year
ago oonveyed the Virginias out of port from
nnder the guns of the Spanish frigates.
The Virginias is undergoing repairs, and it is
understood that the Kansas will remain until the
repairs are oompleted.
Bogota's Back Up.
The Caban General Qxesado is still in Aspin
wall. Hon J. Tborington, lately appointed
United States Consnl to Aspinwall, on applying
to Bogota for the nsnal exequator, was refused
on the ground that the Government of Colom
bia recognized no snch plaoe as Aspinwall, only
that of Cologne. Secretary Fish, on being in
formed of the refusal, appointed Tborington
Commercial Agent at Aspinwall, with the pow
ers of Consnl, requiring no excqnator.
Other Panama News.
The steamer Benecia was in Manzatlan on
the 12th. She was to sail in two days for Pan

News has boen reoeived here from Honduras,
by way of Jamaica, that the fillibnstering
steamer, Gen. Sherman had landed her revolu
tionary party headed by E. Palacos at Utila,
Honduras.
The government of Honduras has been over'
thrown by Tnewand and a new one started.
Palaoos and followers were marching on Gua
temala, and if they snooeed in entering that ter
ritory in two or three days’ march, they are al
most oertain to overthrow the existing govern
ment of President Baneos and establish that of
the Jesuit or Ohnroh party.
