So it will bo seen that the banditti pro poses not only to stay the judgment of the Supreme Coart of the United States, but also to strip tho State courts of the jurisdiction conferred by tho fundamental law. One of the prominent members of the banditti declared in open house the other day, that the attempt to run the State GoTi.-rr.ment had ended in failure and collapse and the best thing they could do would be to turn the whole State OTer to Grant bodily and beg him to run it.

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.

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. The Knoxville ltallway Strike.

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 San Francisco recently with a large cargo of wheat for Europe. She is the old steamer Vanderbilt, which wa* presented to the Government for the navy, and which, not long ago, the navy depart ment sold.

The Americas Republican, of yesterday, announces that regular mail* bare been resumed between that city at Preston. 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.

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.

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. A Frce-Passcr Awarded Damages.

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 new the cotton suits originating in the loss by fire at pier No. 1, New York City, in 1865, of cot toil valued at $250,000, 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 companies. The question is whether the united companies are responsible for the debt* of the Camden and Amboy Company. Yellow FcTer Broken Oat Again at Bainbridge. Savannah, November 13.—The yellow fever has broken out again at Bainbridge. Six new cases are reported te-day; also, the death of Mr. Lewis, Mayor of the eity. _ ’ ’ "*i 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!” LIFE. HEALTH. COMPORT. ESTABLISHED 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 ton 3,800 Number of bales of cotton produced 493 Average number of bales of cotton raised from same amount of land per year for past six years ..-..1,392 Number of bales below average crop 896 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.

FOR SALE CHEAP, AT JAQUES St JOHNSON’S. aorii if 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. THE MODEL MANURE A1TD PLANTER’S FRIEND.
