New York, May I.—The Herald’s For tress Monroe correspondent says that Jeif. Davis is very anxious for his trial to come Off. His health lias perceptibly failed, and it is reported lie cannot live the summer through in prison. Washington’, May I.—The President sent a message to (he House to-day in closing a letter from Secretary Howard giving the result of his examination of various propositions from British holders of the rebel debtor common loan, for an adjustment to the satisfaction of the United States. The Seeretary says that none of them are entitled to consideration. FROM WASHINGTON. Hpceial Jiispal' h to the Nnshvillc Hanner.] Washington, May 2.—On yesterday the ball opened in Congress, Bingham, of Ohio, ultra radical, lead off in a volum inous speech on the reconstruction “poll* ey” proposed by the Committee. He will be followed to-day by (Jonkling. The halls ami galleries of the House are crowd ed with spectators. There was a meeting of the Cabinet last evening. On a full discussion of the new policy of Reconstruction it was decided, Harlan only objecting, to oppose it. The President is very decided. I»i>,„Thc IdahoStntosman, in publishing the report of a committee apppointed at, Roisc City, to secure the establishment of a 11. S. branch mint in that Territory, says: The product of silver bullion will this year lie immensely increased over that of last, while the yield of the placer mines will, it is believed, not fall short of any former one. It is thought by many prac tical miners, that theyear lHOGwill produce more gold in Idaho than ever before in a single season. Affairs on the Ouachita.- Pic. of the .‘loth ult., says we learn from a gentle man, who arrived this morning diTAet from Monroe, that the crops arevery back ward in that low and extensively over flowed district, and promise no more than a third of a harvest. The ground is cold and corn docs not germinate. As for cot ton, the seed planted, and most of that,on hand is four or five years old and rotten. This is the case with that even which was housed most carefully and kept free from moisture. All the planters’ efforts to raise a crop of cotton therefore will be unavail ing. Os old cotton there is now but very little in that part of the country. As our informant came down the river he was eye witness of the inundation of the West ern pari lies, which had the appearJtnee of an open sea. fifty,. The late conflagration at Detroit, destroying a steamer and the passenger and freight depots of the Detroit and MiJ waukie Railroad, was caused by the ex plosion of a barrel of naptha on board the steamer, which was lying at the depof un loading. The total loss is estimated at S;>00,000. A lamentable loss of life oc curred on the boat. The Tribune gives the names of twenty-eight deck hands, firemen and porters, supposed to he burned or drowned. ♦ ♦ tt*ft_The Pittsburg Chronicle says a coal, company has now piled near Honesdald? in that State, 3,310,(MX) tons coal—said to he the largest body of coal ever collected in one heap on the face of the earth. It would require a train over two hundred* and sixty miles in length to remove the stock, or seven hundred thousand carts would be needed, reaching in one con tinuous line more than two thousand miles. * ♦ -S. The Legal Tender Act.—Judge Jas. S. Hook, of this State, has recently de cided that tht‘ act of Congress, passed 25tli of February, ISC>2, making greenbacks a legal tender, does not apply to debts made prior to it> passage; upon the ground that it is not in pursuance of the Constitution of the l nited States; which instrument prohibits the enactment of laws by the States impairing the obligation of con tracts. • lIESIG N ATION' OK SENATOR DOOLITTLE. l'lie Madison daily Wisconsin, of the 20th, has the following: “It is reported that Senator Doolittle has determined to resign his seat, at the close of the present session, and accept a foreign mission, perhaps to Russia, us Mr. Clay is C'aid to have asked to be relieved. We should not l»e surprised if the report should prove true.” —— ». «+. The Burrell Murder Interesting ik Tree — Jionton , April Eli, tsii(> The New bur y jiort Herald publishes a’state ment of Charles 11. Golden, in jail there oh charges ot burglary, in which lie elaims t> have been very intimate with Mrs. Cun ningham and her family, ami knew all about the projected murderof Mr. Burdell in Bond street, several years ago. He says, among other things, that Mrs. Cun ningham ottered him $25,000, and her daughtei Augusta in marriage, if he would murder Dr. Burdell, by n hose death Mrs. Cunningham would get SIOO,OOO. He de clined the job. but took Augusta to the theatre, returned with her to Bond street and slept inthe house that night, knowing before he went to bed, that the murder had been committed. BCA,Ada Isaacs Menken arrived in New York by the last steamer from Europe, j bringing her fly ingsteed, Haidee-ul-Axeen, her diamonds, her funds, her femme d> chambre, and all her costly wardrobe, with her. An engagement has been otfected with Mr. George Wood, of the Broadway theatre, by the terms of which she willap pear twenty-four nights at that place of amusement, and receive for the same five hundred dollars foi each appearance, or twelve thousand dollars for the season. Having netted seventeen thousand pounds sterling in London, received one hundred and twenty-live thousand dollars in gold for one hundred nights in California she may expect to find but few managers in the United States who are able to enjoy the luxury of her presence upon their boards. tfQ.- A vine grower made $7,987 last year from five acres of island soil in Lake Erie. He raised 34,500- pounds of grapes, ami made 6,010 gallons of wine. What i3 Glycerine? We know but little of the chemical com position of this thing “glycerine;’’ but i here is respectable authority for saj ing it is the sweet principle of oil, and is exten sively used for purposes of the toilet, though it lias now received an application of rath er an unexpected nature, in I S D, a pupil of M. Pelouze’s discovered that glycerine, when treated with nitric acid, was conver ted into a highly explosive substance, which he called nitro-glyeerine. It is oily, heavier than water, soluble in acohol and either and acts so powerfully on the ner vous svstem, that a single drop on the point of tne tongue will cause a violent headache, which will last for several hours. This liquid seems to have been almost for gotten by chemists, and it is only now that Sr. Nabfe, a Swedish engineer, has suc ceeded in applying it to a vero important branch of his art—namely, blasting. From a paper addressed by him to the Academy of Sciences, we learn that the chief advantage which this substance, composed of one part of glycerine and three parts of nitric acid, j losses ses, is, that it requires a much smaller hole or chamber than gunpowder does, the strength of the latter being scarcely one tenth of the form er. Hence the miner’s work, which, ac cording to the hardness of the rock, repre sents some five to twenty times the power of the guupow'der used, is so short that the cost of blasting is of often reduced by fifty per .cent. The process is very easy. If the chamber of the mine presents fis sures, it must be lined with clay to make it water-tight; this done, the nitro-glyee rine isrpoured in, the water after it, which, being the lighter liquid, remained at the top. A slow match with a well charged percussion cap at one end, is then intro duced into the nitro-glyeerine. The mine may then be sprung by lighting the match, there being no need of tampering. On the 7th of last month, three experiments were made with this new compound in the open part of the tin mines of Altenburg in Saxony. In one of these a chamber, thirty-four miliemetres in diameter, was made per pendicularly in a dolomitic rock sixty feet in length, and at a distance of fourteen feet from itsextremity, which was vertical. At a depth of eight feet a vault tilled with clay was found, in consequence of which the bottom of the hole was framed, hav ing a depth of seven feet. One litre and a half of nitro-glyeerine was then poured in; it occupied live feet; a match and a stopper were then applied as stated, and the mine sprung. The effect was so enor mous as to make a fissure fifty feet in length, and another seventy. But even that terrific demonstration of force seems to have been surpassed by the explosion, or series of explosions—for there were three of these—on board the ill-fated Eu ropean. We commend these facts to all whom it may concern here at home, in the hope that if there is any such lurking demon in our city warehouses, means may be at once resorted to, either to make him secure, or have him removed altogether from me tropolitan limits. —New York Express. The Tennessee Franchise Bike.— The Hon. Cave Johnson concluded his able speech against the odious Franchise bill, in the Tennessee Senate, in these truthful words: When our acts thus speak to our con stituents, I doubt whether we shall sleep soundly in our cabins at home. In our dreams we shall behold the exasperated countenance of our indignant neighbors— the barking of our dogs will disturb our slumbers, fearful of the approach of gu erillas. Nor will we rest in peace in our homes, unless our commanding General Thomas shall give us a troop of cavalry to guard our domestic firesides, as he lias lately done to some of our Circuit Judges when going from one county to another to perform their official duties. Thus “con science makes cowards of us all.” But act justly, and you will he greeted on your return home with the blessing of every good man; the irregularity in your convention and elections will be overlooked as the best means for the pre servation of our Government, while other short-comings will he forgotten amid the general joy of the people for the restora tion of tin-fJtoTcrnmrnt to (tie principles upon which it was founded, and which had so long secured us peace and happi ness. H£?*Hon. C. C. Clay, accompanied by Mrs. Clay, arrived at home last Sunday morning. The Huntsville Independent says: As soon as it became known, a large number of friends hastened to greet him at the residence of his venerable father; and on yesterday the parlors of the man sion were thronged with gentlemen from the city and country who came to greet their respected fellow-citizen, and wel come him home again. Hemet his visi tors with that hearty cordiality which evinced how rejoiced he .was to see old faces again after so long and so eventful a separation. \Ve hardly expected to see him looking so well as lie does. The trou ble, harrassnient and deprivations of pris on life have, however, left visible marks upon his frame, and his head is sprinkled with premature gray. His conversation partook largely ol recitals of his prison experiences, but it was free from any bit terness of censure or acrimony of feeling. How President Johnson Works.— The New York Express, speaking of Pres ident Johnson, remarks: The President has an iron- constitution, works from s a. ni. to 11 and 12 p. m. often, receiving delegations frequently from 10 in the morning to 11 at night, excepting twb days in the week, between the hours of 12and 2 or 3 o’clock Tuesdays and Fri- j days, which he devotes to the regular 1 meetings of the Cabinet. Unpleasant at- | ternoons he sometimes steals away oue hour to ride abroad. He is not even free i on Sundays, for then Senators and Rep- j resentatiyes call as usual—while huisness men, office seekers, cotton brokers and real friends, disregarding the sacredness of tlie seventh day, seek interviews, and many obtain them. They did it through out Mr. Lincoln's administration, and j have done the same during Mr. Johnson’s term thus far. There is no peach for the l President, but he bears himself with great ! dignity, determination and courage through all his toils and trials. French Capital in Virginia.—A French company owning vast tracts of land in Virginia prqpose to complete the James River and Kanawha Canal, which will connect the Ohio river with the sea, and afford an outlet for the vast quantities of timber, coal, iron, and other products of the Alleghany region. Bingi ear. A most extraordinary oc currence took place along the line of the Nashville and Decatur railroad, between S Columbia and Pulaski, during the thunder storm last Friday night. A half mile of j the telegraph wires were melted, and 1 divided over that whole distance into small fragments, irregular in shape, and many of them no larger than a buckshot, or a small rifle ball. Kentucky Democratic Convention. —I tie Louisville Courier of the 2d comes burdened with the proceedings of the State Democratic Convention, whose necessity or non-necessity, legitimacy or illegitima cy, has been the main point of canvass for three months between the Courier the Democrat, and the Journal. Judging from the character and number of the represen tation, it was a grand success, and the Cou rier has triumphed. That paper speaks of it as a convention which, in point of intel lect, numbers, respectability, harmony, in tense devotion to the welfare of the people, good feeling and satisfactory results, is without a parallel in out history. The Future of the Negroes. From the Tribune.] “Mr. W. L. Sharkey is certainly a can did witness at all sides. In his remarks before the Reconstruction Committee, lie gives a high character to the Mississippi freedmen, and testifies that they are am bitious to own real estate; but concludes, ‘My expectation concerning them is that they are destined to extinction beyond a doubt.’ This would soundcruelly enough, had not Mr. Sharkey alluded ‘to the great mortality that has prevailed among them;' giving it as his opinion that there are very little over one-lialf as many freedmen now in Mississippi as there were formerly slaves. We do not find it hard to believe that, in a State so thoroughly ravaged by the war, quite as many blacks perished as rebels; but, considering that there used to be over 400,(XX) slaves in Mississippi. Mr. Sharkey’s figures demand a census. It is quite startling if one-third in Mr. Shark ey’s estimate have been dying oil. \\ e know that recent destitution has thinned the ranks of both black and white, the former chiefly; but absolute extinction does not sort with a disposition to acquire real estate. Wliat, then, has been killing the blacks ? Is it war, or reconstruction?” War, and its attendant evils, beyond all doubt, is what has been “killing the blacks.” Judge Sharkey is not alone In the opinion that one-half the negroes of Mississippi have perished since the war began. Gen. Grant has expressed the be lief that one-fourth of all the negroes in the South have thus been destroyed. Gov. Aiken, of South Carolina, who did every thing in his power to care for and protect his people after the war had set them free, says that out of 900 not 300 remain alive. The same proportion of deaths among them obtains all along the coast and on the Sea Islands, and in the interior, away from the principal towns, on plantations, where all agricultural labor was arrested and no other kind supplied its place, the mortality is known to have been terrible. It was greater among the blacks than the whites, beyond doubt, for the obvious rea son that their condition as slaves had made them more dependent—that they had no resources to fall back upon, and no friends, but their old masters, who were drafted for the war, to care for them, and that the old, deerepid and sick among them were thus of necessity abandoned to starvation and death. It is probable that the great mass of those who have thus perished were of this class, and that among the younger and abler-bodied blacks the mortality has not been greater than among the whites —per- haps, indeed, not so great, inasmuch as they were not exposed to the same perils and casualties of the war. That those who are left should be “ambitious to own real estate” is both natural and laudable, nor do we see that it conflicts in the least with the opinion of Judge Hharkey as to the mortality of the Southern blacks. Whether his “expectations ” as to their future extinction is well-founded or not, must depend, we think, upon their rela tions with the whites. They are adapted to the climate ; they understand the work requisite for their support; their labor will be in greater demand and better rewarded than ever before, and there is nothing in the nature of the case to render life more precarious among them now than it was before they were made free. But it cannot be denied that the relations which are to exist between them qnd the whites are, in this respect, as in all others, of the utmost importance, and should take precedence of all secondary matters in the public mind. It is on this account partly that we have questioned the wisdom of those who demand suffrage for the Southern freed men as the first step and condition sine qua non of restoration. In the present state of the Southern mind, universal negro suf frage forced upon the Southern people would inevitably increase the prejudice and hatred which are assumed to ex'is t to ward the negro race, and would thus lead to collisions and conllicts which could not fail to prove disastrous to the weaker par ty. Aow that slavery is extinguished, there is no shadow of justice or reason for excluding men merely on account of color from all personal, civil and political rights enjoyed by the great mass of th© j>©oj>to but there may be very strong reasons for cure and prudence in the time and mode of conferring tnose rights upon men hitherto excluded from them. First let the rela tions of capital and labor be made mutual, cordial and friendly, between the whites and blacks ; let these become settled and established so that the dependence of each upon the other shall be feit, as it soon will be—and all else will follow as a matter of course, by the voluntary co-operation of both classes, and will thus give the best possible security for permanence and sta bility. We are afraid that onr extreme men in Congress and elsewhere, who are so exact ing upon this subject, are beginning at the wrong end, and that their policy, if suc cessful, would prove in jurious rather than beneficial to the class they seek to serve. — A". Y. Times. A Curious Case. —The Nashville Union says “it will he remembered that after the surrender of General Lee, the military in (Jeorgia captured SIOO,OOO in gold, which was claimed by the Farmers’, the Ex rhange, and the Bank of Virginia, at Richmond. Recent investigations of the facts, however, show that a few weeks be fore the evacuation of Richmond the Leg islature of Virginia passed a law author izing the said banks to loan the Confede rate Government, upon the faith of the State, $300,000 of gold to purchase supplies for Lee’s army. This sum was placed by the respective banks to the credit of the i rebel Government, and before the surren der of Lee $60,000 was paid, leaving $240- j 000 belonging to the rebel Government I with these banks at the time of the evac uation. The Government, therefore, claims not only the SIOO,OOO captured in Georgia, but also the $240,000 additional in custody of the banks. This is the pres j ent condition of the question. The notes of these banks have been bought up with : the expectation that the Government would relinguish its title to the $240,000 of ! gold.” This claim will certainly be aban | doueil by the Government. Had the $240,000 passed into the hands of General Lee, or any of the Confederate authorities, then, beingseized by the military,it might with some show of justice be held by it a* captured property. But to claim what had never passed out of the vaults of the bank, we think is rather hard, and not at all consistent with either modification or justice on the part of the government. Horse Frighten el> to Death.— While Bailey’s Menagerie was passing through Westville, Connecticut, on Friday last, on its way from Waterbury to New Haven, a horse belonging to a Mr. Baldwin was standing hitched by the roadside. As the procession of elephants passed by the horse, he stared for a moment in the most utter astonishment, and then with one or two spasmodic leaps fell instantly dead —apparently literally frightened to death. Elopement. —The Louisville Democrat of the Ist says a son of one of our most prominent Main street merchants on Sun day eloped with one of the fair daughters of Kentucky, the two going to Cincinnati, where they were united in the bonds of holy wedlock. The cause of the elope ment was the strong opposition of the young man’s parents to the match. The girl had no fortune except her good looks mid virtue, which was, no doubt, the cause of the objection, as she possessed j none of the filthy lucre of this w orld. Scandal in High Life There has been considerable excitement for some time past among the higher cir cles of Baltimore society, relative to a series of anonymous letters, which has been of the most infamous character. They have found their way into very many house holds. and have been working their career of mischif for nearly three years past. At first they were of purely a mischievous character, sending invitation to parties, to attend dinners or enteitainments to which they were not invided, issuing invitations to entertainments at houses where none were to be given. Theauthor, after getting tired of this species of amusement, com menced a series of scandal letters, address ed to husbands, accusing their wives of im proper familiarity with men, and to wives, pretending to disclose improper intimacies on the part of their husband with the oth er sex. Fathers and mothers were also led to great anxiety on account of their daugh ters and sons, who were warned by anony mous letters of their alleged improprieties. In short, there is no relation oflitetliat has not been invaded and the writer, whoever it may have been seemed never to tire 1 in the wmk ofinfamy. Amongthemembers of the Maryland Club and “The German” Club there has also been great censternas tion and trouble, with much ik-feelingand suspicion of one another, caused by letterd received relative to the alleged doings of their members. These letters are said to have numbered several hundreds and bore the impress of having been written by someone who was on terms of intimacy and perfect knowledge of the family rela tion of those to whom they were addressed. They were written in a style that indicated the author to be highly educated, and per fectly familiar with ancient and modern history abounding in quotations and com parisons that but few could bes ami liar with. Fortwoyears past there has been suspicion alloat as to the authorship of these letters, a comparison of those received by different parties having established the fact that they all emanated from one person. Sev eral persons have been suspected at times; but a few months since a rumor was sud denly put afloat as toa gentleman being the author of them, although both lie and his family had received a large number of these missives, and some of these of a most mis chievous and offensive character. Being unable to trace this rumor to any definite source, and being unwilling to rest under so grave an aceusition, he resolved to make an effort to discover who was the real author. For this purpose lie employed ex perienced detectives, and labored some two months in the investigation, during which time the missives were flying about as usual. The result of their investigation has thrown very strong suspicion on a party of high standing, and the charge lias been distinct ly made, which has resulted in quite an embittered correspondence. The matter lias now assumed such a form that it will be made thesubject of a legal investigation before the courts. A correspondence in re lation to the matter appears in the adveiv tisement columns of this morning’s Amer ican.—Baltimore American. John Henry Kerne, jr., of that city, hav ing fallen under suspicion of being the au thor of these letters, claims to have spent considerable time in ferretting out the person engaged in the miserable business, and has charged the wife of Frederic Ber nal, the representable of Her Britannic Majesty, with thdjlmthorship. Through some difficulty in selecting a “bourd of honor,” before whom the evidence, which lie asserts to be in his possession, can be presented, an investigation to all appear ance has been indefinitely postponed. A Romantic Story. From the Indianapolis Herald, April 19.] An incident which lately occurred in the life of Mr. Simmons, an old gentleman who keeps a spectacle store on South Il linois street, is another verification of the somewhat trite maxim that “truth is stranger than fiction.” Mr. Simmons left his home, near Hanserick, Germany, and enlisted in the army of the great Napo leon, in 1804—02 years ago. After nine years of tlie vicissitudes of a soldier’s life, Mr. Simmons returned to his home, in IKI3, W 1101’iA ho I'amuina/1 u ti and then went out into tlie world to seek his fortune. Then he saw h:s sister for the last time up to last Sunday night. From some cause or other they lost track of each other. The lady left her home, came to this country, was married, and now lias a family of grown children. For the last twenty years she lived in Louisville. Mr. Simmons, after traveling in various foreign countries, also came to America. He made repeated vain attempts to learn what had become of his sister, but no one to whom he wrote could tell him. Speak ing to Mrs. Hays one day last week, lie remarked that it was a curious fact that he had never met or heard ot in this country anybody from Hanserick except himself. Airs. H. said she knew a lady in Louisville, from that place. From Airs. Hay’s description, Air. Simmons was led to hope that he had at last found his long lost relative, and accordingly went down to Louisville, on Saturday, sought an in terview, and was overjoyed to find his an ticipations fully realized. The two could not, of course, rveoguize each other at sight, but, by mutual relations of incidents in their lives, satisfied each other that they were indeed brother and sister. The most curious feature in the history of this little romance is that Air. Simmons has frequently been in company with the lady without any suspicion that she was so nearly related to him. . Mr. Peabody’s Reply to the Queen. Mr. Peabody lias sent the following re ply to the Queen’s letter, through Earl Russell, dated April 3d : “ Madam —I feel sensibly my inability to express in adequate terms the gratifica tion with which I have read the letter which your Majesty has done me the high honor of transmitting by the hailds of Earl Russell on the occasion, which has attracted your Majesty’s attention, of set ting apart a portion of my property to ameliorate the condition and augment the comforts of the poor of London. “1 have been actuated by a deep sense of gratitude to God, who has blessed me with prosperity, and of attachment to this great country, where, under your Majesty’s be uigu rule, I have received so much person al kindness and enjoyed so many years of happiness. “Next to the approval of my conscience, I shall always prize the assurance which your letter conveys to me of the approba tion of the Queen of Englund, whose whole life has attested that her exalted station has in no degree extinguished her sympathy with the humolest of lier subjects. “The portrait which your Majesty is graciously pleased to bestow’ on me I shall regarded as the most precious heirloom that I can leave in the land of my birth, where, together with the letter which your Majesty has addressed to me, it will ever be regarded as evidence of the kindly feeling of the Queen of the United King dom towards a citizen of the United States. Turn about is Fair Play.—The Louisville Democrat says: A widow lady of Danville, Kentucky, took an orphan boy to raise, quite small, and when he arrived at the age of 18 she married him, she then being in her 50th year. They lived many years together as happy as any other people. Ten years ago tliev took an orphan girl to iuise. Last fall the old lady died, l>eing ninety six years of age, and in seven weeks after, the old man married the girl they had raised, he being sixty-eight years old and she eighteen. “Sicli is life!” A monster fish, known as the nurse or sleeper, has been carried into Newbur yport. It is eighteen feet long and eight in circumference, and measures are being taken to preserve its skin for the Cam bridge Museum. When hoisted from the water by the tail, the monster disgorged a barrel and a half of small fish. Sublime Spectacle. A Column of Fire One Thousand Feet in Height , and a Jliecr of Flame Thirty-fee 3files Long. A jet of lava of more stupendous propor tions than any ever conceived of, is de scribed by Mr. Conn, in the Honolulu Friend, >f February, in bis account of the eruption of Manua Lea, on the island ot Hawaii. The eruption commenced near the sum mit of the mountain, and only five or six miles South-east of the eruption in 1543. For two days this summit crater sent down its burning floods along tiie North-eastern slope of the mountain : then suddenly the valve closed, and the great furnace appa rently ceased blast. After thirty-six hours the fusia was seen bursting out of the Eastern side of the mountain, about mid way from the top to the base. it would seem that the summit lava have found a subterranean tunnel, for half way down the mountain, when coming to a weak point, or meeting with some ob struction, it burst up vertically, sending a column of incandescent fusia 1,000 teet high into the air. This fire jet was about 100 feet in diameter, and it was sustained for twenty davs and nights, varying in height front 500 to 1,000 feet. The dis gorgement from the mountain side was often with terrible explosions, which shook the hills and with detonations which were heard for forty miles. This column #f liquid fire was an object of surpassing bril liancy, of intense and awful grandeur.- As the jet issued from the awful orifice it was at white heat. As.it ascended higher and higher, it reddened like fresh blood, deepening its color until, in its descent, much of it assumed the color of clotted gore. In a few days it had raised a cone some 300 feet high around the burning orifice, and, as the showers of burning minerals fell in livid torrents upon the cone, it be came one vast heap of glowing coals, Hash ing and quivering with restless action, and sending out the heat of 10,000 furnaces in full blast. The struggles in disgorging the fiery masses, the upward rush of the col umn, the force which raised- it 1,000 verti cal feet, and the continuous falling back of thousands of tons of mineral fuisa into the throat of the crater, and over a cone of glowing coals one mile in circumference, was a sight to inspire awe and terror ; at tended with explosive shocks which seem ed to rend the mural ribs of the mountain, and sounds to waxen the dead and startle the spirits in Hades. From this fountain, a river of fire went leaping and rushing down the mountain with amazing velocity, filling up basins and ravines, dashing over precipices, and exploding rocks, until it reached the forests at the base of the moun tain, where it burned its fiery way, con suming the jungle, evaporating the water of the streams and pools, cutting down the trees and sending up clouds of smoke in murky columns of fleecy wreaths to heav en. All Eastern Hawaii was a sheen of light, and our night was turned into day. So great was the illumination at night, that one could read without a lamp, and labor, traveling and recreation might go on as in the day time. Mariners at sea saw the light two hundred miles distant. It was a pyroteelinical display more magnificent and marvelous than was made by an early monarch. In the daytime the atmosphere for thousands of square mileswould be till ed with a murky haze, through which the sunbeams shed a pale and sickly light.— Smoke, steam, gases, ashes, cinders —fur- nace or capillary or filamentary or vitrifi cation called Pelo’s hair—floated in theair, sometimes spreading out like a fan, some times careering in swift currents upon the wind, or gyrating in ever changing colors in the fitful breezes. The point from which the fire fountain issued is 10,000 feet above the level of the sea, thusmakingthe igneous pillar a distinct object of observa tion along the whole eastern coast of Ha waii. During the eruption the writer made an excursion to the source. After three days of hard struggle in the jungle and over fields, ridges and hills of bristling scoria, he arrived, near sunset, at the field of action. All night long lie stood as near the glowing pillow as me vencmont neat would allow, listening to the startling ex plosions and the awful roar of the molten column, as it rushed upward 1000 feet, and fell back in the fiery avalanche which made the mountain tremble. It was such a scene as few mortals ever witnessed. There was no sleep for the spectator. The fierce, red glare, the subterraneous mutteriugs and stragglings, the rapid explosions of £uses, the rushes and roar, the sudden and startling bursts, as of crashing thunder— all, all were awe-inspiring, „nd all com bine! to render the scene one of indescrib able brilliancy and terrible sublimity.

The Fight over the Spoils. —The Washington correspondent of the Charles ton Courier says there is a great sensation in Washington over the approaching con flict between the radicals and the Presi dent in regard to removals and appoint ments. The President has distinctly an nouced that he will not suffer the offices within his control to be used for the pur pose of assailing his reconstruction policy, and he has already made several removals of radical partisans who have made them selves particularly officious in denounc ing his course and policy. With a careful eye to his popularity the President, how ever, has prepared to substitute these and others of the decapitated, by appointees from the army, particularly of such as have been maimed and disabled from active em ployment in the service. These nominees embarrass the Senate. That body, how ever, has expressed a determination that no officer appointed by the President who has not received Senatorial confirmation shall be paid, and they propose to put a provision to this effect in the Post Office appropriation bill. The contest upon this question is to become interesting be fore Congresg adjourns. LIBELS Fyit DIVORCE.
