bi£ hiatus in our day dispatcher which
„ r may possibly b* inppliod by later teU-
; grama before we go to prow. Evidently,
nrnrer. the American legation at Mad-
1 has been mobbed and Sickles scared
by a yelling crowd of Spaniards. Spain
is in flames. The chance of war is now
a. good as the chance of rain when it
j thunders and lightens—or as the chance
for meat when the ham is in the pot and
the pot boiling. There is a big old row
looming up in the immediate futuro (so
it api -ar. to u.nnl all the truly loyal
can ho happy without further notice.
The panic has gone, and greenbacks will
soon flood the country somewhere about
knoe deep. Every truly loyal fellow will
have a sack full before Christmas, and
Cuba will hum in the course of sixty
days. We think we eee the red breeches
"a gitting up and gitting” in a hurry.
Now is the time for the niggers who
fought so terribly in the rebellion.
But to be serious—the news of to-day
opens a strong prospect of war and we
don’t much doubt it is coming. A war
with Spain, in her present crippled con
dition is not so terrible a matter, but tho
conquest of Cuba opens up a political
vista to the American Bcpublic involv
ing we know not what. Good bye to all
the traditions of the old government. A
new and strange page is revealed in our
national history.

Important News f(om Madrid.
Under the head of “Important News
from Madrid " the Courier-Journal gives
a Washington special of the 18th embrac
ing very little news from Madrid, but a
good deal more Washington speculation
and gossip. Says that dispatch:
The cable dispatch from Madrid to
day, in reference to the position of the
Spanish Cabinet, ia regarded as of great
importance, and as putting a more serious
aspect on tbo situation than has been
heretofore presented. The Spanish Cab
inet it is said are unanimously in favor
of a satisfactory and honorable settlement
of the Virginins difficulty but regard the
maintenance of tho integrity of Spanish
territory as essential.
Tho construction put upon tliia an
nouncement is that tho Spanish Govern
ment is not disponed to pursue a straight
forward course, but designs to resort to
the devious and tortuous ways of dinlo-
matie procrastination. By such action
tho settlement of the difficulty may be
delayed for months, and finally the whole
thing fritter away in meaningless
phrases. By this time our Government
and people would probably get disgusted
with the matter, or bo too much absorbed
in some new excitement to do any thing
more about it.
It is the opinion in diplomatic circles
that, however well disposed Senor Cas-
tolor may be towards tho United States,
he will not doom his administration to
certain downfall by any appearance of
conciliation. Many of those who have
heretofore been of tho impression that
tho difficulty was susceptible of an ami
cable settlement are now coming to tho
conclusion that wo shall either have to
pocket the insult put upon us, or resort
speedily to extreme measures This was
for Congress to decido, and it may be
that, following tho example of Great
Britain in such cases, it will go to war
first and conduct the diplomatic corres
pondence afterwards. There is author
ity for tbo statement that neither tho
President nor the Secretary of State ore
at all satisfied with the attitude of tho
Costelar administration; and if Congress
doss authorise the institution of tho most
vigorous measure,, it will meet with the
approval of tho President.
A Lexington dispatch to tho same pa
per says Congressman Beck thinks the
administration is merely filibustering to
divort public attention from tho financial
condition of the country. Others are ap
prehensive that there is more than fili
bustering at the bottom of the movement.
They call to mind that all the truly loyal
people of tho oountry aro flat broke by
this cursod panic. They have lost the
lost cent of all tho pickings and stealings
industriously oolleeted during tho “rebel
lion,” and must havo some more. Hence
tlie cause of humanity and tho honor of
tho old flag imperiously denioni a very
extenaiva row with Spain.
Arc tlio Planets Inhabited?
Professor Proctor, the famous English
astronomer, treats largely upon tho
probabilities of other worlds being in
habited, tho conclusion being that of tho
inner planets. Mercury, Venus, tho Earth
and Mars, our planet only was in condi
tion to bo inhabited by beings like
dwellers upon the earth. Mercury and
Venus must be too hot, and Mars too
cold. Of the other planets, their condi
tion was not probably such os to permit
of habitation by beings like tho dwellers
uoon our earth. On some of tho sat-
elites of Jupiter and Saturn there might
possibly bo conditions of light and heat
suitable for beings organised like man
kind. Thp lecturer thinks that possibly
all other worlds were, like ours, formed
hy tho Creator with the design of being
inhabited at some period. Our world,
which has been in existence millions of
years, has been inhabited but a very
short period, comparatively, and it was
possible that in time it would bo worn,
or wasted, or frozen out, so as to bo no
longer habitable. So other worlds, not
habitable now, might undergo changes
os the ages go by which would make
them so.
Tax New York Tribune has assumed
the rets of old “Old Frobs.” in the mat
ter of the Caban quastion. It takes it
for granted—
1. That our Government has demanded
full reparation for tho outrage committed
against onr national dignity.
2. That Spain cannot exert sufficient
authority in tho Antilles to satisfy onr
just demands.
S. That in default of tho action of the
Spanish Government the President, un
der authority of Congress, will take the
necessary measures to vindicate our own
rights in the matter.
4. That as a result of this, Cuba will
cease to be a Spanish possession, and will,
in nil probability, become a part of the
United States.”'
We shall see.
The most scri u :u objection to the postal

politicians, and as unfit for the proposed
duty as common barbers for bonk presi

A correspondent qf the Cartersville
Standard having intimated that the State
Road lessees will, at the next session of
the Legislature, return the road to the
State under tho lease act, the Atlanta
Constitution says the lessees have token
no action in the matter, though trilling to
turronder the road to tho Stale.
The Columbus Sun is credited with the
following items:
The Railroad to Chattahoochee.—
The first through train from Jacksonville,
Florida, over the Jacksonville. Pennsacola
and Mobile road reached Chattahoochee
last Saturday. Hereafter tho train will
run on three days in the week—Satur
days, Sundays and Wednesdays. Trains
connect closely with tho boats.
CoLtrarncs Manufacturing Stock at
Auction.—Twenty-ono shares of this
stock were sold yesterday by Ellis & Har
rison for AV. N. Hawks, at eighty dollars
per share of one hundred dollars. Con
sidering the tightness in financial mat
ters. the price is regarded as very good.
The Talbotton Standard estimates the
damage dons in that town by the storm
Sunday night at ten thousand dollars. A
negro church was levelled to the ground,
and some think the court-house is ruined.
Or the blow at Cartcrsville the Stand
ard says:
The front wall of Mr. T. W. Baxter’s
new warehouse was blown down entirely
to toe foundation; too parapets of two
stores on AVest Main street and of Col.
Hurls’ residence were blown off; some
trees were uprooted; numerous fences
were turned upsido down; a chimney
forced from Gilreath A Howard’s ware
house ; several roofs injured, and much
other minor damage done. Since writing
too above we learn that Judge Wiklo’s
barn, two miles in tho country, was blown
down: much of tho xinc torn from the
roof of Captain Bob. Stiles' elegant new
residence, and also a building on his
plantation, occupied by ono of bis ten
ants, was utterly demolished—chimneys
and all. AVondcrfnl to relate, the fami.y
numbered eleven persons, and all in the
house, and not ono of them was injured
in the least. The roof of Mr. J. A. Ter
rell’s dwelling, in tho suhnrbs of town,
was lifted from the building and scattered
over the premises.
The “Georgia Zouavas,” of Atlanta,
ore also “foaming.” They have tendered
their services to Grant for “Cuban deliv
erance.” They won’t have many imita
tors in Georgia. We have hear! of no
other companies “foaming” to mako more
Radical voters.
Lectures on Lite Insurance.—Under
this head the Chronicle and Sentinel has
the following:
It is announced hy the Columbus pa
pers that Gen. John B. Gordon. United
States Senator from Georgia, is to deliver
a lecture in that city shortly on “life in
surance.” AVe regret that General Gor
don has authorized any such announce
ment. AYs regret that a man occupying
the highest position within the gift of the
people of his State, and next to the high
est in the United States, should think
proper to appear before his countrymen
as a lecturer upon a business in which he
is deeply interested as tho President of a
Life Insurance Company. Such action
does not seem to us to be either very dig
nified or Tory becoming in an United
States Senator. Our regard for General
Gordon is so high and so sincere that we
can not avoid remonstrating, when we
hear of his doing that which can only re
sult in injury to himself. Our notions in
the South on this subject are so old fash
ioned that the people will not feel grati
fied at seeing their Senator in such a role.
' Good Fxith Indibpinsablr.—The Co
lumbus Son has some remarks under the
above head that deserve to be read and
re-read, and above all, taken earnestly to
heart hy such of our planter friends as
come within their scope. The Sun says:
Some of onr merchants oomplain that
planters who owe them are neither set
tling by money at toe time specified, nor
delivering to them cotton in liquidation,
even though they offer to take it at more
than current prices. This is not only
acting in bod faith, but it must be dama
ging to both parties. The first business
duty of every man is to pay his debts.
In a pressure like the present, one man’s
payment must help another to pay, and
thus the whole commercial machinery
will be set in motion, just as one cog
wheel acta upon another. But if no ono
starts the motion, the whole maohinery
must remain inert, and all who are de
pendent upon its activity must suffer. If

Washington, in the rear of tho State De
partment. The land here ia owned by
avaricious and unenterprising old citi
zens, who collect rents from a great tribe
of contrabands, houseless blacks, thiev
ing mulattoes, and a very few white va
grants, which squatted here after the be
ginning of the war. A number of low
groggeries splash the monotony of this
warte, and at night tho inhabitants be
gin to raise bowk of melancholly jubilan
ce, pop off old shot-gun. 1 , and count
over, ia their kennels, the plunder
brought in by the negro sneak-thieves
who harbor here. This district has giv
en for ten years the greatest trouble to
the police, as the negroes are less distin
guishable from each other than white of
fenders. and are persistent plunderers of
clothes-lines, back-yards, stoops, shop
fronts, and hall-parcels- It is dangerous
to pass through Hell’s Bottom after dark,
os the loitering castaways there would
probably assail a stranger picking his way
over that unlighted plateau. A new
street-railway has been carried np this
district, and many of tho streets paved
and parked; and the District Govern
ment is endeavoring, little by little, to
have these shanties removed as nuisances.
A good conflagration, such os lights up
the concaves of tho real place of this
name, might serve Hell’s Bottom right
eously. To deal with such negro offen
ders as inhabit this largo tract, whore
abide or hide a largo percentage of
tho 45.000 negroes of the District, is
a study in the latest accession to criminal,
character. The AYashington negro is
neither indigenous nor sui generis. He
is scrapped up, raw and ragged, from all
parts of the Slave and Border States, and
his native nature is qualified by all the
varieties of mastership and hy white ad
mixture. The Maryland negro from tho
old tobacco-peninsulas. Catholic in reli
gion and poor in experience, meets toe
Carolina negro with all the shrewdness
and treachery of mixed blood and pursu
ing sensuality. The full-blooded African
from Virginia, who was nourished on the
tradition of Nat -Turner, finds his coun
terpart in some younger ruffian who has
already acquired tho science of pugilism,
end is predatory and quarrelsome. They
covet each others’ women; they livo in
gregarious mischief and mutual annoy
ance; a little contents them, and it is
sweetest without work; tho whito man’s
town is near at hand, and he is the daily
victim. They find him out by their
washerwomen,house-servants,and mendi
cants, who penetrate his luxury and tell
the secrets of private portals. Instan
ces of burglary amongst negro me
chanics have occurred, and the mur
ders of some of toe full blooded Afri
cans have been of cannibal cruelty. There
was Tom Wright, for example, who killed
a peddler at II o’clock A. u., packed him
in a closet, and dined beside tho body
with his mistress, and did not carry toe
body off too premises until 9 o’clock f.
v. Yet this negro was too champion
bruiser of his race, and the little negroes
looked upon with awe and admiration.
With such a population, yet in shiftless
heathenism in thousands of cases, some
humanitarians are seeking to mix by
force, the whito scholars of tho Washing
ton public schools, and make Ishmacl
and Isaac sit together, that the one may
communicate his toleration and the other
his venuin. The schools here aro of the
best character, as can be seen from the
fact that $950,000 has been spent upon
their construction in a period of four or
five years. Tho whites and tlie blacks
haro two different Boards, but the gen
eral management and supervision are
impartial, and the Sumner School House,
for colored children, is one of the most
elegaqt buildings on the Continent. The
enrollment is 5,500 colored to 15,000
whito pupils; but, in view of this mixed
school project, the private schools get os
much whito attendance as the public.
The cost per pupil is nearly $25 per an
num, and tons the local whito residents
will require to pay upward of $300,000
yearly to give schooling to these vast ne
gro additions.

Albany, Ga., November 21. *
Gns Peterson, colored, was hanged here
to-day, for the murder of his brother-in-
law, John Simmons, two years ago. About
one thousand persons witnessed the exe-
tion.
The prisoner was escorted to the gal
lows by the Albany guards. Perfect or
der was observed. Feterson was perfectly
calm, but spoke Tery little. He bade
farewell to his many friends and besought
them to meet him in heaven. He ex
pressed himself ready and willing to die.
His neck was not broken by the fall;
but the physicians pronounced him dead
in twenty-five minutes. E.

Serious News from Spain.
Madeid, November 20.—A Herald
special of this date says the situation is
grave. There is a serious misunderstand
ing between Sickles and the Spanish Cab
inet. On toe arrival of the news of tho
capture of the Yirginius. President Cas-
telar called at the United States legation
and expressed his regret and ordered a
suspension of the sentence.
AYhon Secretary Fish telegraphed the
news of the execution. General Sickles
sent a note at two o'clock in the morn
ing, demanding a stay of proceedings.
The foreign secretary answered, ques
tioning the accuracy of the information
and intimated that Mr. Sickles’ action
was not authorized.
Thereupon Sickles, in the name of the
United States, addressed a formal pro
test against the inhuman butcheries and
insult to tlie United States, and again de
manded that Spain should enforeo obe
dience to her orders in Cuba, and insisted
on the rights of Americans to trial under
tho treaty of 1790. He complained that
the American Consul at Santiago was
prevented from using the telegraph to
Washington.
The Spanish Secretary answered that
the matter was wholly a municipal affair
between Spain and the Virginins pirates,
and Spain could not tolerate Amorican
interference.
The interview ended by Gen. Sickles
demanding that Spain should enforce the
order of her Cabinet to Cuba for the sus
pension of the executions.
The Spanish Minister of Foreign Af
fairs haughtily declined to permit Gen.
Sickles to discuss the municipal affairs of
Cuba.
The interview terminated angrily—Sick
les saying ho would hold no more per
sona?. but only official relations-with the
Minister.
The public feeling runs high. The
Spaniards blame tho United States for the
Cuban insurrection, and say they will
welcome war.
Minister Sickles does not seo how war
can bo avoided, as Spain will concede
nothing and public opinion will prevent
President Castelar from making any con
cessions.
There is no use in the United States
trifling any more on tho subject—Span
ish stubbornness making concessions
impossible. The extreme Republicans
favor the views of the United States in
the affair.

An impolite Indian instituted proceed

. Probable.
Washinoton, November 21. — Dis
patches received by too Secretary of State
are confirmatory, in part, of the special
telegrams from Madrid, in regard to the
demonstrations against Minister Sickles,
though the Secretary isof opinion that the
specials are somewhat exaggerated. The
mob which yelled in front of the Ameri
can legation was promptly dispersed by
tbe Government, and there is no doubt
here, in official circles, but that the au
thorities at Madrid are fully capable of
preventing any outbreak.
The position of Minister Sickles is very
uncomfortable, but it is not believed that
any violence will be offered, as Mr. Sickles
telegraphs that the Spanish officials are
equal to the emergency.
Minister Sickles is hourly in communi
cation wih the State Department and liis
dispatches indicate the existence of a very
strong feeling against the United States.
Mr. Fish submitted a number of tele
grams from Minister Sickles to too Cabi
net meeting to-day, and the session
which has just commenced will, in all
probability, be one of toe most interest
ing and serious meetings since the com
mencement of thojiresent complications.
Members of tho Cabinet this morning
seem to be very serious in their demeanor
and there appears to be a more extended
discussion in all places as to tho proba
bility of war than has yet been noticed.
At the same time, so far as has been
made known, the official advices from
Spain have not varied in tho assertions
of the honesty of the purpose of the
Castelar government to preserve friendly
relations and to command calmness and
dignity during the progress of the nego
tiations.
Tho excitement of the populace in
Madrid does not seem to be shared by
the government there, as it is evidenced
by the expressed opinion of the Secretary
of State here, that there is an exaggera
tion in tho unofficial reports, and the as
sertion of Mr. Sickles that the Spanish
government is able and has suppressed
hostile indications against the American
legation at Madrid.

public against the inhalation of so dan

are of the opinion that toe inhalation of

situation; there was. however, found to
be no general confirmation beyond the
news telegraphed at noon.
Tho State Department is investiga
ting the real status of the Yirginius. The
Treasury Department of tho navigation
division finds no reason to believe that
any irregularities exist in the Virginius’
registry papers. This fact has been com
municated to the Secretary of State by
tho Secretary of the Treasury, and re
ceived attention at the Cabinet meeting
to-dar. Copies of all papers were sub
mitted. The session of tho Cabinet opened
earlier than usual and continued until
four o’clock. All tho Secretaries were
present. It was the Largest session held
during Grant’s administration. Sub
sequently Fish and Robeson had a con
ference. The whole time of the session
was occupied with the A’irginius matter
and attending complications. The mem
bers are dumb regarding the details of
proposed action, but the feeling which
urged tho attack upon the American le
gation was characterized as brutal and
unreasonable. It really seemed that no
reasonable ministry could stand at Mad
rid. There is increased naval activity.
A naval recruiting office has been ordered
opened at New Orleins.

More About Cotton.
From the New Orleans Times.]
During the continnance of the panic,
he question of the extent of the cotton
crop has been alino it entirely ignored, a nd
prices have been forced down below the
cost of production. Since the date of
my last communication, I have received
information from Georgia, Alabama.
Texas, Arkansas. Mississippi, and Louis
iana, all tending to confirm my esti
mate of 3,300,000 bale*, and render it
probable that the yield will fall below
that figure. The freeze, followed by
heavy rains, has caused greater damage
than was at first supposed. Much of the
cotton being epen lias been witched out
and beaten inl> the earth, and thus ren
dered worthless. This has been particu
larly the case in Mississippi and Arkan
sas. In many section». planters have al
ready finished picking, and nave realized
the fact that their crops are even shorter
than their estimates of a month ago.
When these facts are generally known
the effect will soon be made manifest by
a decided advance in prices, both in ; Eu
rope and America.
The panic is over, the crisis has been
reached ami passed, and confidence is be
ing gradually but surely restored, money
will soon be abundant for all legitimate
purposes, and the question of supply and
demand will govern the sale of the re
mainder of the crop. We havo in tho
United States about seven hundred and
fifty millions of paper currency, which is
worthless as a circulating medium in any
other country. What is to become of this
immense volume of paper money, or
rather, how is it to find employment ?
All speculation in worthless railroad
shares and fancy stocks is at on end, and
only favored descriptions which earn and
pay dividends will attract attention.
This will leave a very large amount
either to be hoarded and kept idle, or to
seek investment in something of real
value, and what offers a safer investment
than cotton, or tho exchange and busi
ness paper based upon it, or tbe fabrics
which aro made of it? We all know that "DTP TTT A rpi? TUTF T TV/' L‘~P
money will leave it3 hiding place as soon JAillVX U JjxLAXj lUii JjJ. V XlXb
as confidence is restored. Capitalists
cannot afford to let their money lay idle,
and such a thing as hoarding paper
money was never known, except in times
of panic
It does appear to mo that tho cotton
planters of the South should awaken from
their lethargy, and understand that cot
ton is a thing of prime necessity to tho
world, and will, if properly handled, com
mand a fair and profitable remuneration
for tho labor and expense of raising it.
If every planter sends liis cotton to mar
ket the moment it is ready for shipment,
he net only places his own, but tho crops
of others, at the mercy of those whose in
terest it is to depress prices with a view
of largo profits in their speculations.
They should build sheds or warehouses
to nrotect their cotton from tho weather,
and mark t It only a? their necessities re
quire for the maintenance of their planta
tions and to reinburso their factors
for advances, and keep tho balance at
home during any period of depression
such as wo aro now passing through.
I will venture on the old and almost
threadbare advice which has been time
and again urged upon planters, and which
they acknowledge, but do not follow, to
turn their attention to producing their
supplies of corn, grain and all other arti
cles of consumption which the soil of tho
South so abundantly yields. Ono bushel
of com made at home is worth two bush
els produced in the West, which is gen
erally received in a heated and damaged
condition, and frequently causes the loss
of the horses and mules to which it is fed.
There is no good reason why they cannot
also raise their mules, cattle and hogs,
all essential to the profitable cultivation
of cotton. If thoy would pursue this
course and plant les3 cotton, they would
soon be independent of merchants and
money lenders, which they can never be
under the present system of planting. A
crop of 2,500,000 bales, expenses of pro
duction and selling considered would pro
duce as much money as a crop of 4,000,000
of bales.
A great deal is said every year about
bad trade in Europe, scarcity of food, and
all tho old saws which spinners and ship
pers have been running on factors ever
since I havo known anything about tho
cotton trade. I am well advised that tho
trade of Manchester was never better
than at the present moment; spinners
are coining money and the stocks
manufactured cotton goods are light all
over tho world. Our Northern spinners
are again moving, and being without
cotton, must necessarily enter the market
with large orders at an' early day, else
they will lose tho cream of the crop, as
the pickings after tho 1st instant must
be of poor quality.
In regard to the matter of dear food
it is all a fallacy. We can furnish Europe
with all the grain they want at low prices,
and the money wo receive in payment
will increase our purchasing capacity and
add largely to our imports, which is just
tho kind of exchanges they desire. Wliat
is to prevent an advance in cotton ?

which Captain Buddington has carried
out his orders. And why should he not ?
Captain Buddington was his old and tried
friend. Since 1860 they have 'wintered
and summered' together more than once.
It was this Captain Buddington with
whom he made his voyage to Frobisher's
straits in 1860-’62, and it was this same
Buddington that he thought of before
all other men, of whom he knew a host,
for his north pole expedition.’*
