In a phr.nxy of resentment over this suspicion, it seems they under took to mob Sickles two or three nights ago, and would hava dono it bat for the prompt intervention of an armed police. The Caatellor administration, hanging on to power as they do merely by their eyelids, are forced in aelf-proacrvation to | avoid, in treating with our Government, everything which looks like conoassion or compromise, and hence have bristled up like porcupine*. The Madrid telegrams say that CastoUar and Sickle* have had high words and angry times in their diplomatic interviews. Sickles, himself, is a man without character and conduct, and would be wholly unfit to represent the American Government at such a time if its desire or purpose were to make for peace. But as wo infer that Grant's administration is not, at best, very desirous of a conciliatory attitude in Spair, Sickles, no doubt, answers the purpose very well at this time. And os it is in Spain, so is it in Cuba. Havana is also in the hands of a mob, and will do anything violent, foolish and ridiculous which this Government may need to justify decisive measures. In short, we never saw a prettier chance for a fight, and it must be a piece of rare good luck which keeps the countries at peace. Tho press telegrams say the ad ministration has been getting ready for war for some time, and their preparations ore none too speody or complete. Some doubts are expressed whether the Southern boys will pitch into this war and fight undor the Stan and Stripes for the conquest of Cuba. That depends a good deal on circumstances. If the ad ministration of Grant should go heavily for negro enlistments in their Cuba army it is quite passible that the Southern soldiers would permit them to try their luck mainly with African troop* from this part of tho moral vineyard. But if thty want the young white men of the South, we are disposed to think there will be no lock. st tl ntruo. "Thk good time coming*’ U almost ’here.

Tho American Iron and Steel Associa tion held a mooting in Philadelphia lost Thursday and sat in sackcloth and nahes: Thu Secretary submitted a statistical report embracing a general review of the iron trade. It state* that the present fi nancial crisis ha* deranged the whole business and the prices of iron have de clined, reaching, in some lines, far below the cost of production. At tho begin- ninn of November fully ouc-third of the fnrnaoos were idle, and by the end of the month one-half of tho furnaces will be Mown out. Tho rail mills are bare of or ders, and the stock of pig iron is accumu lating with no sales nt any price. Thou sands of iron-workers are out of work, and those not employed have accepted a reduction of 15 per cent, in wages. Un der these circumstances, says the report, it is proper to consider whether it is wise to encourage the importation of foreign iron, twice repeated by Congress in re ducing the duties within four years. An increase of duty on pig iron from $0.30 to $9 per ton, and proportionately on other classes would bo a wise measure of relief by Congress. It it Utter to hare a reduced rereuue than cold and hunger in the homes of American workingmen. Tho iron masters will nover rest con tent until they have excluded all foreign iron and then they will find that they have only shut up their own shops and mines. The people con use their dear iron only to a very limited extent, and bunco the country is now making and sailing wooden ships, while more advanc ed nation* are using iron ships almost ex clusively i and the supply of timber in America is becoming scarce while that of iron is inexhaustible. Tho policy of the •• iron masters” looks only to keeping up an exorbitant price for iron, and is therefore not only exceedingly prejudicial to tbo people, but also even to their own trade in any enlightened view of conduci ng it. Their study should bo to cheapen pro duction, and increase consumption; whereas all their effort* lie in tho direc tion of keeping up prices by arbitrary tariffs, imposed st the expense of the national revenue, and operating fatally to the consumption of iron in all uses to which it is possible to apply other mate rials—such os the manufacture of ships, bridge* and houses. The demand for iron at low prices is almost illimitable; but for iron at high prices is compara tively light. Evexy American interest demands cheap iron, but these "masters” presume deliberately to ask Congress for legislation to moke iron costly, even at a loss to the revenue. Could there boa more foreiblo illustration of the iniquity of this class legislation ? Tito Old Game to be Repented. A clerical Boanerges with sky roetety proclivities named Talmage, of Brook lyn, hoe got the war bit between his teeth, and is fairly running away with it. In a sermon the other day he said that all persons who didn’t hurrah and swing their bats in the air at tho sight of soldiers marching to moke war on Spain would be "traitors.” Tho reverend Talmage was a "war dog”—a regular "bloodhound of Sion,” during the late civil war, and knows how effective that cry of “traitor” was in forcing men to join in the cry for blood, during those evil days, against their judgment and convictions, and he is preparing to put the pressure on again. Every man who won’t “foam” for war against Spain is to bo mobbed until ho does. What President Woolsej, of Yale Col lege, Thinks About It. President IVoolsey, one of the most em inent authorities in the United States on international law, has been interviewed on the subject of the capture of tho Yir* •rinius, and tho following report wa3 made of his remarks: Upon being asked whether he thought bring about a great national harmony be tween the two sections of tho country. Virginia would readily respond to a call for volunteers with fifty regiments or more if needs'!. They would be tho very best of her population, all of them men who bad served in the arraie; under Gen erals Leo and Stonewall Jackson, and they would lie led by the very best of his surviving o’Jicers—such men aa General George E. Pickett, who led tire terrible charge at Gettysburg, and Fitzhugh Lee and others scarcely less famous. There would bo a keen rivalry among the South- ora troops, to soo which should first plant the old Hag of the Stars and Strip-* on the Spanish fortifications, or make the most daring charge on tho enemy’s lines. It would not bo many weeks before the Spanish troops would bo routed in all por tions of tho island and compelled to sur render." If Smith tolls anything like tho truth we ere greatly mistaken in oar estimate of the ox-Confedorates of Virginia. They have fooled us completely. But we judge Smith, liko all other scalawags, don’t know mnch about the sentiment of the Virginians, llis associations for the past four or five years have not been sufficient ly intimate with that class to enable him to speak for them. Now if it were the views of tho Virginia negroes, or tho small bandfull of Smith’s white friends of the trooly loyl stripe that anybody wanted to get at,'we would put a pot of money on Smith’s knowing all abont them. Lot not that reporter bag the de lusion that he has found out how the Virginians feel about a war with Spain. Ho must consult somebody else to find that out. that there was any cause for tho United States to declare war ag..:nst Spain, he said, emphatically, no. If he ur.-ierstood the matter, there was not tho slightest ground for war; and ho then went on to say that he was, to some extent, ignorant of'the true situation, or at least knew only what had been published in the public press about it. Assuming that this was in the main true, the Spanish authorities have done what they had, ac cording to the law of nations a perfect right to do in capturing the Virginias. If the capture waa made in accordance with 8paai.h law* ; if the men were tried and executed in accordance with Spanish laws, and if the Virgin: under the United Statc theleas endeavoring to render aid to the insurgent*—was. in short, engaged in traffic prohibited by the law of nath at— then the United States Government can not make the transaction any ground for war, or in fact of complaint.* YVill there be YVnr with Spain? The New York Sun asks and answers this question in on editorial, of which the following is the conclusion: Moreover, the administration at Wash ington is not unwilling to be forced into a war. It is true that we are in no con dition to make one, that our finances are depressed; that our people are suf fering from the stoppage of industry and business; and that our navy, under its present corrupt and worthless manage ment, bos deteriorated until it is nearly useless; so that we should commence war under great embarrassments. But on tho other hand, hostilities would draw the people’s attention away from the corruption of their rulers and fasten it upon the movements of fioets and armies and the news of expeditions and battles. Then we should have no more investigating committees, and for a timo at least no more fatal revelations. Then tho public belief that under Gen. Grant tho honor of the nation has been sold for Spanish gold would bo removed by the share edge of tbo sword; and a successful war would even elect him fora third term. There will bo money to be made oat of contracts, and shoddy can recover tho fortunes it has lost in tho panic; and thus tho baso interests of plunder and of political rascality will conspire with tho parost patriotism to justify a war and to fight it to the bitter end. * These are our reasons for believ ing that war is what we are likely to have. Tho Sun could not have furnished more or stronger arguments against a war with Spain than are here set forth. If there can result any advantages to the country that will counterbalance the evils above enumerated, wo cannot imagine what they are. Tho Cotton l’icking. Colafabchee, Ga., Nov. 21,1873.

From sn Anti-Railroad Monopoly Speech U Mr Edeuton, at Sacramento. Cal-j I have contemplated this attack of Robert Robinson in utter amusement, un til ono of the most distinguished citizens of the State informed me of tho lying propensities of his earlier days, and that they so predominated in him that the boys nicknamed him "Lying Bob.” It ought to be revived. His talentforlyiug, like that of Ovid Bolus, is encyclopaedi cal. and, like German criticisms, has many sides. He differs from Bolus, however, in that, according to the humorist, the latter lied from pure nobleness of soul and comprehensiveness of mind, whereas Robinson lies from a natural depravity and a fecundity of resources which may well provoke the envy of the devil him self. His son Edward, sensible of the outrage committed by the father, subse quently published a card in on evening paper here evidently designed to moke reparation. But ho managed to preserve the ear-marks of the meanness of tho breed, and inserted the sting of his la ther's publication in the toil of his own. I bear no malice or ill will even toward Edward. He both puzzles and amuses me. As an ethnological problem ho baf fles the science of a Campar or a Darwin. In my incredulous moods I donbt if the solution of his existence can be fonnd in any extant theory of race, and I opine he descended from nobody and was cast in a brass foundry. [Long and uproarious laughter and applause.] But upon ma ture reflection and from* certain idioxyn- erodes common to himself and "Lying Bob,” I am forced to the conclusion that he is the son of his father, the only dif ference being that Ed. inherits all the old man’s meanness without a particle of his THE GEORGIA PRESS. New Yoke, November 19.—Owing to the statement contained in a letter from Havana that on the night of the 7th inst.. when the news of the Virginias reached [Havana from] Santiago, the Spanish volunteers, in fiendish exultation over their triumph, visited the widows of the Masons shot in 1S6S, and brutally out raged the helpless women; that in their struggles four were killed, seven have since died, and several are in such a dan gerous condition that they can not possi bly recover, a petition circulated in this city is signed generally by the Masters of the Masonic Lodges in New York, and the Past Masters of Lodges residing here, calling for an emergent session of the Grand Lodge of the State to take snch action as may be necessary. Similar ac tion on the the part of the Masonic fra ternity is taken in New Jersey and Massa chusetts. How a Snob Toted to Cheat ax Ac- tbsss AXD WAS CHEATED.—A New York correspondent tells a nice stray of a pretty English actress, who, on a tour through New England, took by storm a young scion of a rich old family, and was by him pursued.

Somehow, too, the panic*doesn’t seem to worry him to any great extent. Gxirux has received 8,261 bales of cotton since the first of September. The Columbus Enquirer contradicts its statement of the death, lost Tuesday, in Montgomery of yellow fever of Mr. Louis Hones, which statement was printed in this column yesterday. He is raid to be recovering. According to the count of the Colum bus Son, thirty-five gin-houses in Geor gia, and twenty-one in Alabama have been burned since the first of September. The Columbus Son says those who were so furious and eager to go to Cuba the other day have concluded to stay at home. Several young lawyers were unan imous at one time, but they are not so much now. since those cowardly, detesta ble mired Spaniards on on the island hava commenced shooting people. Fabhixo in Notheast Georgia.—The Gainesville Eagle says the "experience of this year will prove that Northeast Geor gia is what its friends have always claimed for it, the best forming oountry in the State. There is plenty of grain now in the counties of Hall. Habersham. Banks, Franklin, Jackson, White and Gwinnett, to do the people of those counties two years, and still as much cotton has been raised to the number of acres planted, as in any part of Middle Georgia.’" Tho Eagle adds that a farmer in White oounty mode 100 bushels of corn on one acre, this year.

Several large planters in this county have had their stock levied on, cribs nailed up, and cotton seized by the sheriff for debts due their factors. Other cases will follow soon. Ix Pulaski county, the Hawkinsville Dispatch says that from the 4th to the 18th instant, thirty-six liens had been foreclosed in the County Court, and many liens and mortgages for much larger sums, in the Superior Court. Me. Killis Sparks, a well-known citi zen of Pike county, died on Thursday. A farmed from Turin, Coweta county, told the editor of the Griffin Star the other day, "that prior to tho war, his dis trict was prosperous and wealthy, with only one store in the neighborhood to supply the wants of the people, now it was poverty-stricken snd bankrupt; and yet there were thirty-Jire stores doing business where the one formerly lived,” Capt. Samuel Hexlt died at Hayne- ville, Houston county, last Saturday from a congestial chill. During the war he commanded a company in the G3d Ten nessee regiment. Steuce bt Liqhtxixo.—The Hawkins- villo Dispatch has the following: We learn from Dr. Fleetwood, who has just reached here from Jacksonville, Tcl- foir county, that ho left Mr. Joseph Wil cox in a dying state on SfoudAy evening from the effects of a stroke of lightning received on Sunday night while in bed asleep. Hi* wife and sister. Miss Re becca Wilcox, were sleeping in an adjoin ing room and were awakened by tho ter rific storm and kind peals of thunder. Hi* sister arose and called him. but he made no response, whereupon she called his brother-in-law, a little son of Mr. John Hamilton, to arouse her brother. He was shaken violently, b't gave no signs of life. Becoming alarmed. Miss Wilcox procured a light anil entered his room to ascertain the matter. She was horror-stricken to behold her brother apparently in the agonies of death. The lightning passed down the chimney and shivered the fire-board, and passed to the bed near by. The hair on the fore head was singed, and tho electric current passed to the left shoulder, then under themselves with the troubles of outsiders, while their o VO affaire are so terribly out of joint. Consequently they are not “foaming.” \S The Augusta Constitutionalist anno an ces the death of Mr. William Shear, a former well-known and valuable citizen of that city, but does not give either the date or place of his death. The Follt of Expansion—Under this head the Constitutionalist has the fol lowing: A valued friend and a shrewd business man sends us the following illustration of what he conceives to be the absurdity of trying to save the commercial commu nity by expanding tho national currency : The idea of making the currency more efficient by increasing it* volume is quite a* absurd a* it would be for a cloth dealer to think of facilitating his operations by multiplying hi* yard sticks. Two or four yard stick* in one man’* hands would measure no more cloth than one. Nor would the process be expedited, though the Government shoald enact that each yard measured by four stick* should be called four yards and should pass current for four. In the lost cose the merchant would indeed have a greater number of S ds, nominally, but no more cloth than ore. He would in no way be benefited, unless he had old debts to pay in yard*, which he could discharge is the new meas ure, one being equal to fo. r. In this way he would save three-quarter* of his cloth and become rich at the cost of his credi tor*. The Bank of England has reduced its rate of interest to eight per cent. This is the l*cst indication we have yet seen that the panic is wearing itself out. it, thenco across the left lung, down tho abdomen to the right leg, from which it burned tho hair in a streak to the foot. Tho body was considerably bruised. The left lung bccamo filled with phlegm, as if affected by pneumonia. Mr. Wilcox was olive at a late hour on Monday even ing, but there seemed no possible hope for recovery. He waa speechless and un conscious, and had not moved a muscle save on occasional drawing up of the right foot. The Washington Gazette notes the burning, on yesterday week, of the dwell ing house of Capt. John F. Jackson, near Centreville, in that county. Almost the entire content* were destroyed, and the fomily narrowly escaped, with their lives. The loss sustained was very heavy, and no insurance. The Gazette also records the burning of Dickens' steam mill and cotton gin in that place on Friday evening, together with ono hundred bushels of com and three bales of cotton. No insurance. A box of matches in the cotton did the mis chief. We clip tho following from the Atlanta Constitution, of yesterday : Horrible Accident.—Abont 2 o’clock yesterday afternoon as Mr. Owen Lynch, general book-keeper of the Western and Atlantic railroad, was returning to his offico, he was run over by an engine and so horribly mangled that he died within forty-five minutes afterwards. Mr. Lynch was walking down the track of the Ma con and Western railroad, and when near where two tracks diverge, attempted to cross from one track to the other; his at tention being diverted by a switch engine going down the track of the State road, he paid no attention to tho engine of the Macon and Western railroad, coming rap idly from his rear. The engine knocked him down, and threo wheels ran oxer him, crushing his right leg at the knee, TTninglinoT the flesh and crushing his left leg above the knee. The engineer stopp ed as soon as possible. The accident oc curred about Brood street bridge. A litter was obtained and Mr. Lynch, at tended by a large ooncourse of friends, carried to hi* residence, comer of Hunter and Butler streets. He lived only a few minutes after reaching home. Hr. Lynch was between 57 and 5<fyears of ago; and had been book-keeper of the State road for fourteen or fifteen years. He was universally esteemed. Important Decisiox to Ixsueaxce Men.—Judge Hopkins made a ruling yesterday in an insurance case, which we give briefly, on account of its importance, both to insurance men and policy holders. The case was that of Messrs. Simonton, Jones & Hatcher, vs. tho London, Liver pool and Globe Insurance Company. This action was brought by the plaintiffs to recover a policy of about three thousand dollars on a stock of goods destroyed by fire. After paying the premium and fatYing out the insurance the plaintiffs removed their goods into another store. They claim that before the removal, they verbally notified the agent of the com pany of their intention to remove, and re ceived his verbal assent thereto. This consent, however, was not entered in writing on the policy as required by one of the laws of the company. Upon a demurrer filed by the defendants Judge Hopkins dismissed the declaration, hold ing that the act of removal cancelled the old and required an entirely new contract of insurance. The case will, we are in formed, be carried to the Supreme Court and aa effort m.i !e to r. v. r- • tL:-ruling. hut just to the company to state that the allegation of the plaintiffs of having verbally notified the company’s agent of their intention to remove and received his verbal consent, is disputed by them. Otherwise they might not have contested the case. We are glad to see that none of our State exchanges, particularly of the week ly persuasion, are "foaming” over the shooting of the Virginias filibusters. The question of meat and bread seems to be engaging the attention of the people, to the exclusion of all others. They have neither the time nor the heart to bother Editorial Correspondence. Savannah, November 22,1873. CONCLUSION OF THE FAIR. Last night we telegraphed the result of the race*, which show about the slowest time on record, and the award of a prize to the Johnston Light Infantry in the drill contest. We are glad to chroniclo that despite the dull times, severe weather and pocuity of the exhibition, under the skillful management of Mr. Estill, who seems to have had the laboring oar, the affair will prove a financial success. This is certainly more than can be said of the first fair of tho Association, though inau gurated under far more favorable aus pices. The exhibition closes to-day. SAVANNAH MANUFACTURES. The paper mill recently erected here for the manufacture of rice straw into paper is just commencing operations. They will have abundant raw material at their doors, and with the low wages for labor now ruling, must do a good busi ness. The Arkwright Cotton Factory is in full blast, and turns out an admirable ar ticle of yarns and thread of every grade. The city would be the better off for many more such institutions to afford profita ble employment to its redundant popu lation. EXTENSION OF THE ATLANTIC AND GULF RAILROAD. Col. Screven, who returned from Europe a few days since, by no means despairs of procuring the loan of $5,000,000 for the completion of hi* road to Pollard. He is also confident of his ability to demon strate to the satisfaction of the citizens of SnTannnh the paramount value and importance of tho proposed extension. Indeed, not a few influential persons say, so far as the interests and prosperity of their city is concerned, since the opening of the new outlet to Port Royal, tho de velopment of the Gulf road is of more consequence than any other single line of communication with the interior. Al ready large quantities of cotton Jre re ceived by the Port Royal road, and tho idea is gaining ground that the enter prise so far from injuring Savannah will prove to he decidedly beneficial. An old merchant remarked that capital would never concentrate at Port Royal, when a few miles of railroad from Screv en’s Ferry to that point would divert tho business to Savannah. This is certainly estimating very lightly the advantages of deep water, and an excellent site for the foundation of a now city. Bat we give these on dits tor what they are worth, without any endorsement of our own. The Legislature would not entertain for an instant, at this juncture, the propo sition to donate funds for the building or extension of any railroad. On tho con trary, it would gladly, if practicable, cravfis!i out of all its "State Aid” obliga tions. For some years, at least from present appearances, the old roads need fear no rivalry from the multitude of new projects which were all so actively press ed a short timo since. Nor do wo know of any portion of the State which is suf fering materially for lack of transporta tion famlitics. It is pleasant to have a railroad running by your door, but can every one enjoy that privilege? is tho question. COTTON RECEIPTS AND TRADE. Tho staple continues to pour into the city at the rate of over 3,000 bales per diem, and for some time so small has been the margin for profit on New York quotations that tho sales and for eign shipments have been very heavy hero. Of course this has tended to make money easier, but trade continues exceed ingly dull. Some dry goods merchants, however, are advertising goods bought since tho reduction in New York at 20 per cent, below their neighbors, and a general break down in prices must follow. This, many think, will give an impetus to business and bring into circulation again tho hoarded money of the country. IVe shall see. Bnt in the meantime our merchants must lose thousands by this depreciation in the value of their stocks. Thus are we made to feel the failures and financial troubles of our Northern friends. New York is tho great financial heart of the nation, and every pulsation is felt to tho remotest confines of tho country. THE WAR LEVER is warmer here, probably, than in other portions of the State, but we don’t think it has reached the VOLUNTEERING point yet, or ever will. No one wants to embark in a crusade to release more ne groes, and create additional Black States to be ruled by thieving carpet-baggers. A HERALD CORRESPONDENT, however, en route for Key West, was like a raging panther, breathing fire and vengeance against the Dons. He in tended to go to Cedar Keys by rail, and hiring a fishing smack, proceed thenceto hisdestination. Hereportedotheragents of this wide-awake newspaper distributed through the squadron ordered to Caban waters, in the capacity of captains, clerks, etc. In the opinion of this astute Bohe mian, war was a foregone coulusion, and the gem of the Antilles as good as oura already. Perhaps he is right. H. H. J. BY" TELEGRAPH. DAY DISPATCHES. All Ready and Getting Ready for War.

The letter says: The Bishop acted by himself and against the protest of Evangelical men. Even the mort radical oppose hie course and will give hi3 movement no support. I at tended a meeting of the leading Evangel ical clergy in Philadelphia to-day, and found them a unit against the Bishop. So I suppose we ore to have no new move ment of any importance.

To obviate this difficulty phy sicians have long sought for an agent that would Purge, Purify and Strengthen At One and the Same Time* Their research has at last been rewarded by a discovery which fully realizes the fondest desires of the medical faculty, and which is iustlv regard ed as the most important triumph that nh. n lacy has ever achieved. This important desideratum is Dr.Tutt’H Vegetable Liver Pills, Which purify tie blood and remove all coirupt humors and unhealthy accummulntiona from tho body, and jet produce no weakness or lassitude whatever, but on the conarary tone the stomach, and invigorate the body during tbe profreas of their operation. They unite tho heretofore irre concilable aualitics of a Strcugtliening, Purgative and a Purifying Tonic. Dr. TuttN Pills arc tlie most active and searching medicine in existence. They at onew attack the very root of diseases, and their action is so prompt that in an hour ortwo after too are taken the patient is aware of their good effects. Thev may be taken at any time without restraint of diet or occupation ; they produce neither ~ , griping or debility, ana as a family medicine thev have no rival. ^ . Price 25 cents a bar.
