The Captured Virginius.
The New York Sun is assured that tho
Virginias was cleared by the American
Consul at Kingston on a legitimate voy
age for Limon Bay, and that her papers
were all regular. She did toko out some
fire hundred Remington rifle* and |other
munitions of war, but it was a perfectly
legal cargo of merchandise for an Ameri
can vessel to carry, even in time of war.
Previous to the final sailing of the Yir-
ginius on her ill-fated trip she had made
a trial trip, on which she traveled some
fourteen knots on hour, and completely
satisfied all interested in tho success of
her voyage.
The Spanish man-of-war Tornado was
originally a blockade runner, which fell
into the hands of the Government during
the war. She ms renamed the Chicka-
maugu and afterwards sold to the Span
iard*. Strangely enough the Hornet, tho
Virginina, and tho Tornado were all
bnilt by tho same shipbuilder on the
Clyde. Tho report of throwing horse*
overboard from the Virginius during her
pursuit by the Tornado ia entirely incor
rect; she had not a horse on board.

Mourning in the South Pacific
Islands.
According to a recent authority, mourn
ing in the South Pacific island* is carried
on in a very curious and economical
manner. A widow will lay aside her
bonnet and wear her dear departed's
hat, and sometimes a widower will bruise
around in a loose gown of Ai* dear de
parted, warn over hi* own proper dress.
Instead of a shawl, a mother will place
on her bock a pair of trouser* belonging
to a little boy jast laid in bis grave. In
theao bard time* quite an economical
revolution might be effected in this way,
and. although tho appearance of a portly
widower in one of tho dear deserted
■ilk*, seated bcaido a lady over whose
shoulders gracefully dangled the legs of
her darling's evening trousers, might
liavc a funny effect, wo should soon get
used to it, and there would be the conso
lation of refloating that Christmas would
bring no odious bill for dress-coat or laco
or cashmere shawl, and thus the wind
would in the most practical manner be
tempered to tho shorn lamb.
The Spanish Capture.
Detail* of the circumstances attending
the capture of tho Virginia*, received by
telegram from Havana, may bo found in
this edition. Wo presume, however, the
statement is unofficial. If true, the Vir
ginius was captured probably in British
a-a tors—certainly not in Spanish waters
.and captured against tho law. The
Yir^Tinius was also sailing under Ameri
can i-opera and the United States flag.

Capture or the Tirginlns — Highly
Interesting Particulars.
New You, November 13.—A Havana
. letter, under date of the 8th, givaa the
which this State has been hurled—a State | following particular* of the capture of
- 1 —■’ *— :J — *—=— — the Virginias :
The Virginius. shortly after the de
parture of toe French steamer for Sant:
whose aoiL besides producing cotton,
corn, pea*, rye. onto, burl
grasses, and the various
of toe tropical climate, ia stored with
gold, marble, xdenite, granite, gneiss,
ochres, botu red and yellow, porcelain
clay, limestone, talco, and various other
minerals. Corruption an J bribery have
thrown off their .--able garments and "run
riot" through her border*.' Hundreds of
acres, which were once white with cot
ton, now lie a barren waste. Laborers
are plentiful, but they prefer idleness to
work; and the poor planter, who endeav
or* to retrieve his losses, is only sunk
deeper into_ the mire. From a careful
estimate I find that over ninety-one per
cent., of those who have engage*! in cul
tivation since the war have lost money,
and over seventy per cent, of the arable
lands of the lower portion of this State
have changed hands since '64. A* each
"pay day for taxes” roll* around truly
m-lan 'holy is toe visage of the real estate
owner*.
Recently I «« at a sheriff's sale. Toe
aforesaid official was a tall, thin, gauky
foreigner. Thousand* of acre* of cotton,
rice and phosphate land* were sold at
mere nominal prices. Seeing near me a
man with brilliant eve*, but in very
shabby clothes. I said that it was dis
tressing to see the old land-marks torn
away. “Oh," replied he, ”1 was once the
owner of that throe thousand acre tract
which baa just been sold, bat the taxes
were so enormous that I could not pay
them. The asmo tract has been sold
four times beneath the sheriff’s hammer
since ’65. My forefathers received it
from the English Crown, but it will not
be sold again.” "IVliy,” asked I, “is the
purchaser wealthy?” With a look of
contempt he said, “Do you see that
squint -eyed, red-bearded chap, over
whose countenance a just God has cast a
radiance which onceornamented the walls
of Sing Sing ? He came here after the
war with barely rags on his back, but he
called himself a Republican, and is now
worth hi* thousand*. Furthermore, since
he is a Radical, he can return the land at
one-sixth it* value, and nothing will be
done tohim, while when I returned it at its
tree valuation it was doubled. This
completely swamped me. Did you see
what Congressman Rainey, our negro
representative, said in Connecticut about
ao arranging toe taxes as to give the
lands to tho negroes ? The whole plot
has been well laid, and our Congressman
knew what he wa* speaking about.
Tho average decrease of the value of
property throughout the South is five
hundred per cent, since 1SG0. Before
the war toe taxable property of South
Carolina was valued at about $188,000,000.
and 1870 it had fallen to 1184,000,000, and
tho decrease baa been steadily progress
ing up to the present time; but, miralile
dicta, the taxation before the war was
only a little over $400,000 annually, but
the annual taxation in 1870 was about
$2,100,000, yet the State debt ha* in
creased from $6,000,000 to something be
tween $16,000,000 and $20,000,000.
The Largest Sailing Vessel.—The
largest sailing vessel in the world is the
ship Three Brothers, which sailed from

Snow Diodes on Hallways.
From a notice of a new machine for
clearing railway track* of snow and iee,
which appear* in the World of Sunday,
we clip the following:
During the next four months the trade
of half the continent will ba periodically
impeded, and from bleak prairie and
mountain pass will come the too familiar
story of snow bound train* with their
list* of half-frozen and famishing passen
gers. Tho amount of trouble and hard
ship inseparable from winter travel by
land'cannot be ascertained by any arith
metical process; but that snow-storms
are calamities to society and to com
merce, akin in financial importance to the
most devastating conflagrations, is un
questionable. It is stated that a sum
equal to the gross earnings of the New
York Central road for a twelvemonth is
regularly lost to the railway* of the United
States and Canada by the snow blockade,
tho cost of removing which is enormous—
in fact, second only to the original cost
of construction on some peculiarly unfor
tunate lines. One road Inst winter re
ported the expenso wh’ch it incurred for
this servico at over $200,000; while the
managers of the Union Pacific would
deem themselves fortunate if $500,000
would suffice to keep their track clear over
the Rocky Mountains. Iftothoheavycash
outlay for labor in shovelling out snow-
choked cuts and working through drifts
is added the loa* of revenue to the va-
rious companies caused by tho stoppage
of travel for hours and sometimes days,
the formidable total of $25,000,000 is es
timated to be about toe correct figure at
which toe direct damage should be put
Of the 70.000 miles of steam roads in op
eration in this country and Canada at
least 50,000 mile* are within the region
of ice and snow during a greater or less
period, and the effect of an abrupt closing
up of toe arteries of transportation repre
sented by this mileage mu-t bo disas
trous to tho whole community.
Peculiar Streets.
The house* in Amsterdam, says a
Dutch correspondent of the Loqjaville
Courier-Journal, are generally from four
to five stories high, and are bnilt on
piles, as the site of the city was formerly
under water. Under some of them the
piles have sank and toe houses lean over
toe street. The streets being very xmr-
row, these houses leaning over from both
sides, they come in a few feet of each
other at the top. They look dangerous,
but they have stood in that attitude for
many years. Many of the streets are so
narrow that two vehicles can not pas3
each other, and indeed one can hardly
pass through. To avoid blockades the
law directs that all vchirii shall pass
certain streets in certain direction*, and
no other way, so that in this city all ve
hicles go the same war and never meet
each other. To get to a certain place in
the city by vehicle, yon frequently have
to travel a long way. There are no side
walks. Indeed, this is toe ease pretty
generally in European cities. There are
very few wagons in the oity, and toe few
there are can rot bo used to any great
advantage. IVo saw a funeral procession

ago de Cuba, left Jamaica on toe 24th
ultimo. It was the intention of the ex
peditionists on board to sail direct for
the shores of Cuba, but a slight damage
to the ship’s machinery obliged them to
enter a port of HaytL This they left—
touching at Port-au-Prince, Hayti and
another port of toe same island until the
30th, upon which day they concluded to
sail for Cuba and attempt a landing. On
this day the Spanish oonsul at Kingston
advised the Governor at Santiago de
Cuba that the .Virginius was in toe vi
cinity of Cape Hoi ant.
As" it happened, the Spanish man-of-
war Tornado had that morning arrived at
Santiago de Cuba, and Governor Borriel
immediately telegraphed to her comman
der, Co itilia, his information, which caused
her to leave in four hoars afterward.
The following day (31atJ the Tornado,
under full sail and with but little steam
on, as some slight repairs were being
made to her machinery, came in sight of
the Virginias, which probably supposed
toe Tornado to be a sailing vessel, as her
course was not changed.
On the Tornado every effort was made
to hasten repairs they were engaged on,
and at 2 o’clock toe chief engineer pro
nounced them complete. All steam pos
sible was immediately got up, and the
vessel* headed for the Virginius—some
reaching a speed of fourteen knots and
slowly gaining upon her.
The Virginius had, in tho meantime,
kupt on her course, bat divining the hos
tile intentions of the Tornado, changed it
towards Jamaica, and being out of coal,
commenced burning petroleum, grease,
fat and other combustibles from the pro
visions on hoard, such as hams, etc.
Night closed in and the vessels were in
the same relative positions—the Tornado,
however, gaining upon her prey. Tho
bright light of h full moon kept too Vir
ginius in full mghtond her twomastsand
dense clouds of smoko.
On account of the gaining of the Tor
nado, further to facilitate their flight
they threw over board horses, cannon,
many cases of arms and amunition after
wards stated to be 2000 Remingtons, a
Mirtreileuse—seven horses and a quantity
of powder and small arms.
As soon as they got within gunshot the
Tornado fired a gun, followed by three
other shots and shell. This brought the
Virginius to, and two armed boats from
the Tornado came along side—took pos
session of too vessel anil made prisoners
of all aboard.
At the time of the capture tho Virginius
was flying toe American flag, but this
was pulled down by the Spanish officer
and the Spanish ensign hoisted in its
place, although the papers of tho vessel
duly dispatched from Colon were handed
to him.
The vessel at the time was in British
waters and within a league, as I am pos
itively assured, of the coast of Jamaica.
On this point all accounts -liffer. One
gives the capture as having been effected
twenty miles from Jamaica and an offi
cial acoount state* twelve miles. The
Diario states it at twenty-three miles;
the journals of Santiago de Cuba, eight
miles and twenty miles, and the version
of tho Vox de Cuba, twelve mile*.
The commander of the Tornado pub
licly stated in Santiago do Cuba that an
hour later and the Virginius could have
saved herself by entering some port of
Jamaica.
After the capture, the next two hours
were employed in transferring some of
the prisoners to the Tornado and putting
a prize crew on the Virginius.
The total number of prisoners on board
amounts! to 165, of whom 60 are said to
be natives of the Island and the remain
der foreigners. Of these 165 persons 63
are thought to form the crow.
At midnight that night the two vessels
started for Santiago do Cuba, and arrived
the following day at five o’clock in the
afternoon, having been joined by the
Spanish steamer Cautabro.
This fact alone, of seventeen hours’
steaming, would tend to prove that they
were a considerable distance from Cuba,
and very near Jamaica, as the distance
between the two islands is not much
above one hundred miles.
The following day (the 21 November)
a conrtmartial was held on board the
Tornado, which commenced at 9 and ter
minated at 4 o’clock. All were tried a*
pirates, and the findings of toe court and
sentences were sent ts tho captain gen
eral and admiral in a sealed package-
After the court had concluded its task,
all the prisoners were transferred to jail.
General Burriel, it i.s said, coolly asked
that all tho prisoners should be turned
over to him, with the exception of the
captain and crew, who should be sent to
Havana and be placed at the disposal of
the Commandant General, De Marina,
and declared that within twenty-four
hours afterward all should be tried and
executed, in order to avoid any complica
tion with the “exterior—that is, with for
eign intervention.”
He also detained a telegram which tho
United States Consul desired to forward
to toe United States Consnl at Kingston,
reporting the capture and inquiring as
to the nationality of the Virginius.
All this news was received in Havana
with great rejoicings by the Spanish last
evening. Tho Captain General also re
ceived a telegram from Burreil, telling the
fate of the four principal prisoners.
Train Wrecked.
Cincinnati. November 13.—A western
bound train yesterday morning, on the
Memphis and Louisville Railroad, was
untracked twenty miles west of Memphis.
Thirty passengers were brused and burned,

Tho North Carolina Treasury Enjoined
Raleigh, November 13.—In 1871 the
Treasurer of the State, under authority
of the Legislature, appropriated to the
General purposes of the government two
hundred and forty-ona thousand nine
hundred dollars, that had been collected
to pay the interest on bonds known as
special tax bonds. To-day four bill* in
equity were filed in the U. S. Circuit
Court for the Eastern District of North
Carolina, praying that the public
Treasurer be enjoined from paying any
money out of the treasury until he has
first replaced the above sum to the credit
of tho fund for which tho same was
raised, for the purpose of providing for
tho payment of interest on the bonds
held by plaintiff and all other holder* who
may become parties to raise suits. A pre
liminary injunction has been granted by
Judge Bond, anl the 6th set for hearing
the motion for a special injunction. While
there is a growing disposition on tho
part of the people and press to recognize
the old debt of tho State, tho people are
fixed in their determination to resist, by
all lawful means, the payment of these
special tax bonds. When they are dis
posed of steps will undoubtedly be taken
to compromise the old debt upon a basis
acceptable to the State and bondholders.

MIDNIGHT DISPATCHES.
How the Caban Butcheries Affect the
Government.
Washington, November 13.—The news
received yesterday was so startling in its
character, not only from its atrocity, but
from the fact that the Cuban authorities
were ordered by the Madrid Government
to stay farther executions, that it created,
at first, in official circles, doubts as to it*
truth; but these have now been removed,
and while the ctedit of good faith is given
to the Madrid Government, emphatic con
demnation of the Cuban authorities for
their swift vengeance and disregard of
the wimmanSa of the home government is
everywhere expressed.
The Secretary of State, yesterday, on
the receipt of the dispatch announcing
the wholesale execution at Santiago de
Cuba, telegraphed to Consnl General
Hall, at Havana, to instruct the vice
counsel at that port to inquire into the
matter and to enter an earnest protest
against the haste of toe trial, in toe face
of the order* of too Spanish Government,
for delay until a full examination could
be made into all the facts attending toe
capture of the Virginius- Mr. Hall re
plied that the vice consul had already
protected, in toe strongest terms, i
against the proceedings, but that ■
his action was seriously obstructed by \
the Spanish ocinuls, all avenues of com
munication being closed against him.
The telegraph line between S.tnll^o and
Ilavan-i being interrupted he was pre- .
vented from telegraphing to Kingston in ;
order to make inquiry relative to the f
Virginias when Bhe was brought into I
port. There was nothing left to him but |
the slow process of the mails, and this
mode of communication was of no ad
vantage under the rireumstanees/^v
What Spain has to Say. .
Immediately on receipt of Consul Gen
eral Hall’s di-patch the Secretary of Stat9
instructed Minister Sickle* to enter, with
the Spanish Government, a strong pro
test against the proceedings at Santiago,
characterizing them as an outage on civ
ilization and humanity, and an insult to
the American government.
General Sickles has replied that he had
an interview with the Minister of Foreign
Affairs and acted in accordance with his
instructions; and further, the Spanish
Government, duly impressed with asenso
of responsibility, had promised to act in
rarh manner as would show it* disappro
bation o? the proceedings at Santiago, and
at the same time manifest its friendship
for this government.
The above refers to the latest corres
pondence on the subject.
Methodist Mission Work.
The general missionary committee of
the Methodist Episcopal Church allowod
$13,000 for the general expenso of Italian
missions; $30,000 for the extension of
missions in that district, and $70,000 for
the removal of mission headquarters from
Boulogne to Florence. Ail appropriations
for mission schools have been discon
tinued.
Activity at the Brooklyn Navy Yard.
New York. November 13.—Officers at
the Brooklyn nary yard profe*3 ignorance
in regard to the receipt of orders from
Washington; but at the same time every
man that could be obtained were set to
work on the war vessels Powhattan, Kan
sas and Juniata. The Kansas received a
supply of stores this evening, and it is
thought she will sail to-night. The Ju
niata will be ready to sail to-morrow
night.
The Brooklyn Eagle says executive
officer Ransom, of the navy yard, in an
interview with its reporter this evening,
said orders have been received from
Washington about fitting out vessels, but
lie was not at liberty to make them pub
lic. He thought there was a prospect of
war with Spain, and that the Government
would undoubtedly proceed l>y taking
Cuba.
The Spanish frigate Arapihw, undergo
ing repairs at the Brooklyn navy yard.
Ills had her plates removed and could not
posisbly be got in trim for service in less
than ten weeks.
Heavy Cotton Saits to Ijo Renewed.
Trenton, November 13.—In toe Su
preme Court a motion was made to re

against the Old Camden and-Amboy Rail
road Company. Tho plaintiffs obtained
judgment in New York for the amount
stated. They are now trying to com
mence suit in this State versus the united

united companies are responsible for
the debt* of the Camden and Amboy
Company.

FISK, STOKES AMD JOSIE.
Personal Peculiarities of Fisk’s Mur
derer. •
Mrs. Burnham in St. Louis Republioui.)
John Wilkes Booth and Edward Stokes
resemble each other in a great many
ways. The same physical- charms, a
dash of manner, a trick of address, a win
ning brightness of face and speech, and
a reckless, courageous bearing distin
guished both these ili-fated men. A ter
rible clamor goes up from many at tho
late sentence, but subject the bitterest
enemies of Ned Stokes to a half dozen in
terviews with him and tho bitterness
would die out of them. There is a pro
pitiatory tone in his very voice, and utter
lack of the smallest appearance of brav
ado in the man. Ho lias tried to be’gay
and debonnaire under the humiliating
scenes through which he ha* lately pass
ed, but I’d stake everything I own he
never said when putting on tho prison
garb “there’s no pistol-pocket in theso
pants anyways.” Poor Stokes was lured
to ruin by his heart, and there are people
wno flourish by reason of a total want of
one. If no fatal Josephine had never
crossed his path it never would have led
through Sing Sing. His own difficulties
with Fisk would never have culminated
in murder, bat goaded to madness by tho
sight of tho beautiful Josephine’s grief
during tho disgrace that was heaped on
her at tho Yorkville trial, he went hot
headed after Fisk.
THE FALSE JOSIE’s INFLUENCE.
Josie, Eome time before the murder, in
onumcratingFisk’s later peccadillos, said:
“Why.theauntof these girls (the Morses)
was an old flame of his, but it makes no
difference, and regularly every day, at
throe or four o’clock, ho can bo found
at the Grand Central in their rooms.”
The New York Times was at the time
pitching into Fisk. Stokes undoubtedly
felt he was not so far out of the way him
self when he put James out of the way.
Very bitterly he has repented the rash
work of an evil hour, and unavailingly
wished he could unravel his life and start
again from that fatal acquaintance with
a heartless woman. At the time of the
murder, public clamor rose like a tempest
around Josephine. She was hooted at
and insulted, and popular indignation did
so many ugly things that she took on the
light of a martyr to my eye3. Sinner
undoubtedly she was, but there are so
many sinners, and after all we are none of
us ordained by heaven to sit in judgment.
I got up a positive sympathy for the un
fortunate woman. But two sentences,
carelessly uttered one day, put another
sentiment in its place.
HOLLOW AND HEARTLESS.
A remark was made concerning her
first feeling when the shooting was re
ported to her. W4U, she said, “I thought
good-bye, $50,000 (that was the sum she
was suing Fisk for), and she added naive
ly, “ of course, then, I didn’t know I could
continue suit against the widow.”
That pretty thoroughly settled her
opinion of F-sk. Naturally, then, it was
asked of her in relation to Stokes. “I do
hope,” she said, “he may get off, and then
I’ll shake hands with him. I wish him
well, but I never want to see him again.
He’ll be a ruined man—this thing is sure
to ruin him.” In keeping with these
speeches was the remark she made on first
meeting Stoke3 after all this dreadful
affair. She stood face to face with the
man who had periled his soul and forfeit
ed hia life through her direct influence.
She adjusted her thread lace shawl (a
$1,000 gift of the prisoner at the bar,)
and daintily said: “Foor Ed., he’s dread
fully altered!”

What the Grangers are l>oing:.
H. H. Dawson, Secretary of Glennyille
Grange, furnishes the Columbus Enquir
er, the following statement:
“Below I hand you an aggregate report
of the amount of land cultivated, number
of mules and hands employed in its cul
tivation, yield this year, average yield
from same lands for a series of years,
made up from reports of thirteen of as
respectable and truthful farmers as the
State contains, whose plantations embrace
some of the most fertile lands lying on
the Cowitee and Hatchechubbee creeks
and the Chattahoochee riyer. These plan
ters have gathered their crops, and they
are prepared from actual results to make
this statement; and I am instructed by
the Grange of which they are members to
furnish it for publication:
Number of hands employed.,. 279
Number cf mules employed 133
Number of acres cultivated in cot

Number of bales of cotton produced 493
Average number of bales of cotton

The Cincinnati Enquirer says: Two
of Grant’s Cabinet officers were candi
dates for United States Senator, viz:
Feet r a3U r General Cresswell of Mary
land, and Secretary of the Interior De
lano of Ohio. Both apparently had a
pretty sura thing of it, for although
.Maryland gave Mr. Greeley a thousand
majority, almost every county outside of
Baltimore was Bepublican. We have
seen how Ohio laid oyt Mr. Delano. The
defeat of Cresswell in Maryland ia per
fectly overwhelming. Out of one
hundred and five members that composed
th*.* Ir-Msiature cp, joint ballc-t, there are
only thirteen Republicans. The Admin
istration was on trial in both States, and
this is the manner in which it was con

MANUFACTURED BY
Langdale’s Chemical Manure Company,
j (LIMITED.) ” J
NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE, ENGLAND.
Has tie following Powerful Kecommendations for Planters:
It is a genuine English made Manure, the only one in the market, and manu-
[ factured by a company having a capital of $1,250,000, which sells 40,000 tons-annu-
\ ally, and has the most extensive works of the kipd in Great Britain, which have
been in operation 24 years. The Langdnle, therefore, has a good pedigree and is no
experiment.
It contains a larger proportion of chemical elements suited for the promotion
of vegetable life, and especially of cotton, than any other fertilizer offered in the
South. It is the best and safest Cotton Manure in the market.
The analysis given with tlio Manure when sold will be guaranteed. There shall
be no mistake about the genuineness of tho article, nor the good faith of the vendors.
It is the cheapest Manure offered, as it contains nothing but what is of use in
becoming plant-food, or by chemical action on tho soil, producing the same. The
test of cheapness is not the price, but the actual worth of the article purchased.
Low-priced Manure cannot contain efficient quantities of pure and valuable chemi
cals, which can alone give woith to a fertilizer, and bring satisfactory results. The
Langdale is as low in price as is consistent with tho use of the best ingredients, and
a fair commercial profit on its cost.
The employment of powerful machinery in mixing and pulverizing the ingre
dients prepares* every particle for service, and prevents trouble in using. The Lang
dale is unequalled in this respect, and impresses every one who sees it as a perfectly
manipulated Manure.
In its composition and preparation it is the result of careful scientific research
and experiment, confirmed by practical application for a quarter of a century. It
will be maintained at its present high standard, and is thus what planters have
long wanted—a thoroughly reliable and safe Manure.
