The ship ments were 88,262 against 82,449, and the stocks on hand footed up 67,837 against 67,600 last year. The Chronicle’s table of the visible supply shows 1,955,365 bales against I,- 061,423 at the corresponding date of last year, and 1,977,606 the year before— showing a decrease in supply of 106,058 bales as compared with but year, and of 22,140 as compared with 1871.

A JIaco* correspondent of an Atlanta paper says that private advices received m that city state that a battalion of vol unteers is forming at Savannah for Cuba, either to act in conjunction with the United States Government or in any other ity tending to the revenge of the t butcheries. Is it possible that the A mkt stock company has been organ- tad in Prases to tunnel the Straits of Dover, sad connect England with Franco by rath Dover ami Calais, the points to |« connected, are twenty-three miles apart, and the formation to be penetrated is believed to bo nothing bat an immense bed of chalk,' of at least eight hundred feet in thickness. Machines for sinking wells in cludk deposits have been invent ed, which in twenty-four hour* will boro shots through such material fifty-four deep and kev<m feet in diameter. Tho company cstimatn* the cost of a railroad tunnel twenty-three miles long at about J54000.000. No subsidies nro asked for from either government, but the company asks for a monopoly of tho tunnel busi ness between the two countries. The most astonishing thing is that so facile sn enterprise has not born undertaken before, amt tan only be ocoountod for upon the hypothesis that some people doubt that the bottom of the English Channel is all chalk. Ox tvs osxksst. siTcxTiox. the Chron icle reports a rapid and healthy improve ment. The bank* are stronger ami gain- tag, and commercial affaire returning to old channels. The recovery in cotton during the past two weeks has been healthy, but speculation will be peculiar ly hasardous. American consumption will be consid erably abort of lost year, but the Chroni cle locks for an earlier recovery than is generally accepted by manufacturers. The present stoppage, however, cannot amount to less than 6,000 bales a week, and the would be 75,000 if alt the mills were to resume by the 1st of January. The general proitration of trade will also di minish consumption of goods, eo that af ter tho mills resume they will not run to their utmost capacity. The manufacturing interests of Europe, also, are not in a satisfactoiy condition. India is overstocked with goods, and China is not hun. ry for t tern. Tho cot ton supply of last year was deficient 1,200,000 boles from countries other than America, while this year the crop it a full one all round. High price*, therefore, cannot reasonably be anticipated. Protection. Mr. Horace J. Smith, of the Philadel phia Press, send* ua a private letter, en closing the following slip in which he gives tho South a few useful hint* as to tho importance of diversifying her in dustrial interest*, but spoils oil by tho brood assertion that she will then "clamor more loudly than Pennsylvania, for a tariff.” In this region the wholosome doctrine of free trade and sailors' rights 1 as ever had its,fullest exemplification. Our poo- pie have, suffered too much in their pockets by the doss legislation of the North, and its unrighteous protection of a pampered few engaged in manufac tures, at the cost of jillions of tanoccut consumers, to listen to the “syren song of this representative of tho iron men of the' Keystono State. The people of the South should indeed ■inearth their mineral treasures, spin their own cotton, raise their wine, wheat, corn, moat, bay and fruits, but not by seeking to prey upon each other, and bolstering up ono set of producers at the oiponsu of their neighbors. Let every tub stand on it* own bottom, is sound doctrine in political economy. Equal laws and a fair showing are all that should bo asked for or conceded to any industrial pursuit. And the consumer should be left free to make his purchases anywhere in tho wide- world, where ho con make the cheapest bargain and se cure the best article. Mr. Smith is a very clever, genial fel low, but be is barking up the wrong tree this timo: Ex-United State* Senator D. M. Yuleo had with him, in a late trip from Fortran- dina. samples of kaolin, winch he lately discovered in diversify the industries of the South, if they would make their own crockery out of their own clay, their iron out of their own ore* their own lead pipe out of their own mines, and everywhere their cloth out of their cotton! It would not take long with pot stacks, iron furcates. fac tories, and other rndustrial chimneys, belching out coal smoke in their midst, to make the people of tho South thor ough protectionists. The Angle-Snxons, which, rising up in Central Europe, have brained the more feeble folk who stood in their path, and left the oareas*es of Italians, Gauls, Sax ons, Welsh. Irish, Indians (redondycl- low) negroes, and Australians to rot, are an essentially selfish race. "The natural rights of all men” they prato about, are a mere fiction for the car. These right* neither control their bead* nor their hearts. Might, power, and dominion over man and beast are their ruling pas sions, and we see some sad wrecks of hu manity lingering under the shadow of their skirt*, but mostly tbe path of his- Tux industrial exposition scheme at New York is dead. The special committe of nine assistant aldermen appointed to hear argument* for and against the pro posed loan of $2,560,000 to tho Industrial Krposition Company made their final re port to the full board on tVednerday afternoon. The report Is adverse to tho lean. The president put tho question to tbe meeting, and it was received with only one dissentient voice. So tho job bers do not get at the city treasury for their private land speculation, notwith standing the false pretence act up of a de sire to put laborers to work.

For more than fifty years she had been a member of the Baptist church. Wx quote as follows from the Atlanta Constitution of yesterday: Homicide ix Msbieita.—We learn that on Saturday evening, Mr. D. L. Ma lone was killed in Marietta, by Mathew Moore. Malone, who was a contractor, was paying off his hands. He and Moore are reported to have been tight. Some dispute arose between them, when Moore threw a brick, striking Malone in tbe templo and fracturing the skull so se verely, that Malone died before Sunday morning, Moore has been arrested and jailed. A Ltvblt Contest and ax Ixtsbkst- ixo Law Quxstiox.—The following arc about tbe fact* relative to the recent seis- ure of a number of cigar* in this city levied on by Judgo Pittman, by the United States Collector, and the apparent conflict between the Federal and State authorities resulting therefrom. Freder ick V. Mossdort, who wo* recently convict ed of carrying on the business of a retail liquor dealer without paying the special tax. was a tenant ot Judge Pittman’s, and at the time of hi* arrest and convic tion owed some $200 for rent. Mossdorf was also manufacturer and dealer in ci gars, and Judge Pittman, to secure his rent, sued out u distress warrant, which was levied on certain cigar* in the house. These cigars were, therefore, in the pos session of the law, and were remaining in the house simply by sufferance. Several days after his conviction, Mossdorf inode his escape, and has not yet been captured. Under the United States revenue laws, Mossdorf, as a manufacturer of cigars, was compelled to make monthly returns to the Collector, showing the number of cigar* manufactured, and the number sold. The return for Oct. hod not been made when he was arrested. On last Saturday, Judge Pittman made application to the proper Fittnmn made application to tile proper authorities to be allowed to put Rtamps on a number of these cigar*. This ap plication was denied, because the Gov ernment official* suspected the existence of fraud in MossdorfTs returns, and lie- cause, under tho law, they could only issue those stamp* to tho manufacturers. In the United State* statutes there is a clause which authorize* any Circuit or District Judge, or United States Coiumis- sioner, to issue to tho Colloetorof the In ternal Revenue a search warrant, by which ho is empowered to enter and search any premise* upon his making af fidavit that he believes that a fraud is being perpetrated against the Govern ment. Thi* warrant was taken out by tbo Collector on tbe 15th, but was not executed until the 18th. In the mean time negotiations were being carried on between Judge Pittman and tho Collec tors about entering the house, the Judge offering to give up the keys if they would take only such cigars a* they found un stamped, and thraColleetor insisting that he was required to seize everything con nected with tho cigar business. On the 18th instant the Collector and deputies proceeded to tho store to force an entrance. Judge Pittman denied their authority to break his doors, the ground that the cigar* not in his custody but in that of tho law. Several policemen were also present. Mr. Fleisch did attempt to break the door, when Judge Pittman caught him and told him not to do it. The revenue officer* then retired, still in sisting upon their right to make the seix- nre. During that night tho Collector had tho premise* guarded by United States soldiers, oml the next day, after further negotiation with Judgo Pittman, „„„ in which the two gentlemen again failed L that State. How it wouhl to reach an understanding, he broke open the premises under guard of a squad of soldiers. The cigars were then removed. pirn* <!• F. Stevens. In another coluiss will be found the announcement of the death of this esti mable lady. From cariy youth a con sistent and devoted member of the Bap tist communion, she met death without a tremor, remaining perfectly sensible, ealm and triumphant, almtfct to the very instant which severed the spirit from its tenement of clay. Her remains were brought to Macon by the bereaved husband and a few friends, and interred on Monday in Boso Hill Cemetery. Rev. A. W. Clisby offi ciated at the grave, and some of our best citizen* acted os pall bjarers. To Dr. J. P. Steven*, sn old and cherished friend, and a gentleman mo*t favorably known in literary and scientific circles, we extend our heartfelt sympathy and condolence. Most truly did he remark that the loss of children, and all other earthly aSiic- tioui, are not to be compared to that overwhelming calamity which, in the death of a loving wife, roho the house hold of ita brightest gem, and makee desolate tho hearthstone of tho surviv ing partner. The doctor is an elder in the Presbyterian Church, however, and a Christian. He can turn for consolation to soorosa the world wots not of. We doubt not he can truly exclaim—** Though lie slay me, yet will I trust in Him.” " Thy will, O ! Lord, be done.” Tns famous oatata at Kindcrhook. j New York, the residence of ex-President I Martin Van Buren. has tkvn purchased by J unit's Vau ALstyne and John Van Boxen (a namesake of the late Hon. , i. i John Van Buren. son of the President), Tnx Mw-quui of Westminster Is com- -jj rUm e f thirty-two thousand doi- fortably iitu*t"d f° weather an ordinary j faxm adjoining the mansion ! post protected or prevented th. panic, his rent pjll Jbaodon exceeding I comprises about two humlredand twenty- | the house from kilim-*- five million* of dulUr* per annum. | five seres. Tbe entire amount seized was about 2.900, of which only two or three boxes had been stamped. They were appraised at $136. The Collector thinks that Judge Pittman is as safe now as he ever was. By simply filing a claim he can postpono the sole of the cigars until a competent Court has passed upon the merits of the cose. The law question involved is interesting. Judgo Pittman claims that the lien of his distress warrant attached to tho cigars before the lien of the Government under its confiscation laws, and that as he wo* innocent of nny fraud, and the goods not in his possession, the Collector had no right to break his door*. Tho above facts, wo believe, are correct. Tus same paper has the following timely remarks upon the clamor for war with Spain: PsorLE are beginning very sensibly to inquire, what is the South to gain by a war, and what is there to warrant such wild ebullitions of passion, as are appa rent in some quarters. We still caution our people to go slow—to take uo stock in this crusade until they look carefully into its merits and into tho result*. The South has certainly seen enough of cor- pot-hagism and freed negroes to satisfy them that they ought to observe c ration in precipitating a war to open np now fields for carpet-hag glory and freed ne- groism—a war that will be waged at the expense of the prostration of the South and the heaping up of taxation already buiikfuome. A two-stokt brick building at Savan nah used as a negro school, burned last Saturday. It was valued at 15000, and insured for $2000. Tax Roman* are feeling decidedly bet ter, in view of the tact that gold has been found on Capt. John Turner’s place, ten mile* west of Rome. An old California miner boost* them high up with the re port that he never saw a finer prospect in that State than thi* presents. As Ixcidixt or tbz Latx Stoxx— Nabxow Escape.—A Henry county cor respondent of the Griffin News send* that paper the following: A Mr. Bruce Johnson, his family, wife and two children, three and fire years old, were living on a place near Arch. Brown, Esq., and were tenant* of Arch. Brown’s. Mr. Johnson’s wife and two children were sleeping in a bed in tbe northwest corner of the house; right opposite Mr. Johnson was lying, a fire place between them. The gush of wind and noi*e—most remarkable—caused Mr. J. to rise suddenly. Destruction of fam ily and everything seemed, as it were, inevitable. As ha arose frightened, all at once a large post oak tree, standing some twenty feet from tho chimney, blew up, falling directly otst the house and chim- nev length wise, crushing the whole house anil chimaeT. Mr. Johnson was stand ing at the side of tho bed. and wo* knocked down and stunned and braised, the tree and side of the house falling di- rectlv over him. The west end and north side of tho house feU in, covering up Mrs. Johnson and the two ehil Iren. Apart of i the side of th* boose fell directly acres* Mr.-. Johnson. Fortunately the bedstead protected or prevented the weight of house from killing her and the Smith and Doe Smith were absent. He harried on and found some kind freed- men. who repaired with him to tbe d>>- molishad house; and after much effort, removed the timbers from off Mr*. John son and the two children, and to tk* as tonishment an l joy of Mr. Johnson, his wife and children were extricated without any very serious injury. New Grange Poetry. Some of the horny-handed politicians in this State who are so sweet on the Grangers, have been improving the shin ing hours since the meeting in this city daring the State Fair, by wooing the po etic muse in order to get up something to sing to the Patrons at the meeting now In progress at Atlanta. We have recently come into possess ion of some of this poetry, and give tbe following os specimen*. It will be observed that the effort* of the h. h. p.’s aforesaid in this line are rather erode. But they’ll im prove under proper encouragement. The approach of another election will see them doing a great deal better: " I dma at m bssntifal time. ■ Who the world *h*ll bappj He, Vbsa elsphani* sod byenu Shall I*•■»«! on every tew: When tamarind* and potato** Shall craaa their dreadful roar.

Tbe Columbus Enquirer is publishing extracts of local and other new* from its old files, some of which are very inter esting. It has now reached the year 1S39, and here ore some item* 9! that date: Sryfem’er 18.—Married, on Thursday tho 13th in«t., byRev.SunnelK. Hodge*. Henry L. Benning, E*q.. to Miss Mary Howard, only daughter of Colonel Sea born Jones, of Muscogee county. October 9.—At on election held Last Monday. H. S.

Cotton.—The planter* are beginning to arrive with their cotton. The crop i* larger than has been supposed, and the staple is as fin* a* we have ever seen in this market. We regret that prices are dull—ranging from S) to 9 cent*. There is little hope of an advance. Tho re ceipts vary from fifty to one hundred and twenty-five bag* per day. Dr. J. W. Turner, of this city, sold on tho 18th of September. $11,700 worth of Morns Multieaulis mulberry tree*. The trees were about three and n half feet high, and were sold at twenty-five cents pertree. Tho paper of this date gives notie* of the opening of tho St. Joseph and lola Railroad. John D. Gray was contractor. On the first excursion trip the run be tween the two points was made in two hour* and fifteen minutes, the train car rying upwards of fonr hundred ladie* and gentlemen. A barbecue, g'ven by Mr. Snell, signalized the auspicious event. [Tho above rood has played out long since.] iYorender 18.—A correspondent men tions the Georgia Railroad to Greensboro. Ga., nnd goes on to say the busiqps* of one day amounted to $1,500. Tlio South Carolina Moses. The Charleston Nows and Courier mention* a rumor in Columbia that the banditti were about to impeach Governor Moses for receiving bribes. That paper tells a tale which, taken in connection with tho rich experience of Governor Scott, show* that tbo Governorship of South Carolina is better than a California placer. Says the News: The salary of tho Governor of South Carolina is $3,500 a year, and no fee or ; lerquisito is attached to the office. Gov. dose* has nover even occupied the Ex ecutive Mansion, on Arsenal Hill, where Governor Scott was lodged at the ex pense of the State, nor had he, at the Jtne of hi* election, any private fortune beyond an extensive capital of debts. Nevertheless he lives in royal style. The Preston mansion, which he has bought, has cost somebody more than one hun dred thousand dollars, and is not yet completely equipped for the accommoda tion of the Sybaritic Governor. F»st horses, diamond* and other extravagance* are freely indulged in, and the only in- of the luxurious spendthrift, so far as tho public know, is an official salary of $3,500 a year. In December last the General Assembly appropriated $325,000 to pay the claims of the Credit Mobilier Republican Printing Comp ray, and it wo3 openly said, at tho time, that Governor Moses refused to approve the joint resolution unless he was paid forty thousand dollar* for the job. The “boss- " of the concern complained that very little was left when they had finishod paying the various politician* who “help ed tho claim through.” It is. also, gen erally believed that no county officer, who is subject to Executive removal, con keep his place long unless he periodically steps up to the captain’s office and settle*. Such reports are natural enough. They point to the one way in which tho public can explain how it is that a public officer can spend every year thirty or forty timc3 as much as his visible income. Governor Moses does not care for criti cism so long a* he stands, well with his party, and his party will stick to Gover nor Moses until it suit* their purpose to throw him overboard. The impeachment talk, therefore, is not likely to amount to much, although this is a healthy time for convicting and punishing political crim- TIic Protest ol‘ Capt. Fry. j The d«vlaratIoa owl pretest of Capt. _ Joseph Fry before the Unit .-1 St*t- ■ rice consol, after being sentenced to 'death, was in substance 23 follow*: That he was the master of the Ameri can steamer Virginiu*, which had all her paper* in complete order, especially the register of the steamer, crew list and ar ticles, pamenger list, clearance from Kingston, as also dispatch from Custom house, etc. Sailed on the 23d of October. 1873, with all his crew and about log passengers; after s few hours at sea sprung a talk and put into Port Haytien for repairsailed from the port of Cul- mit. of that island, on the 30th day of October, and. while between the islands of Cuba and Jamaica, about twenty mile* or more from Cuba, was chased by a steamer, and overtaken and captured about eighteen miles north of Morant Point east end of tho Island of Jamaica, about ten o’clock at night, the Spanish •1 previously firing several shots ewer the Virginiu* and compelling them to lurrender. The steamer was then taken charge of by a boarding officer, who stated that he did so on his own responsibility, knowing her to be an American vessel and under the protection of the Sag of tbe United states of America. The master, Joseph Fry, with the crew and passengers, were placed under guard, and all brought into the port of Santi ago de Cuba on the 1st day of November. On the evening of the same day, after having delivered over all the papers be longing to the Virginias, he was refused permission to apply to his oonsul for aid and protection, and this was only granted him after being condemned to death with the major part of hi* crew, under no known- public law or pretext; and, as Capt. Fry was hurried to make his prepar ation* for death, he could make no further statement, but declares that the forego ing is his true declaration, which ho signed in jail, at 2 o’clock on the 7th November. 1873—two hours previous to hi* execu tion. This protest was approved by sev eral of the foreign consul* with whom Mr. Szhmitt advised. But Gov. Burriel was highly incensed at the consul’s action, and informed him he had demanded the revocation of his exequatur. Another in sult was put upon the consul, for just previous to the moment on which the prisoners left the jail, three soldiers ns guard* were stationed at the consul’s res idence-one at each corner and one in front of his door. It happened that the French consul, his chancellor and several other persons were at the time with Mr. Schmitt, and as the time was too short to demand an explanation nnd have the sol diers removed— as every one stopped to taqnire if the United States consul was under guard—joined in making a process verbal of tho circumstance. lY TELEGRAPH. Defalcation in the Freedmen’s Sav ings Bank at Washington City. Under date of November 21st, the Cin cinnati Commercial’s Washington cor respondent telegraphs the following: A new case of the prevailing epidemic ha* just been discovered. William J. Wil*on, cashier of tho Freedmen’s Sav ing* Bank in thi* city, is to-night re ported to be a defaulter. Nobody seems to know tbe extent of hi* peculation, and while some person* are of the opinion that it cannot be large, there is reason to believe that it may prove to he in the neighborhood of one hundred thousand dollar*—possibly twice that amount. Wilson is a mulatto, as in fact are all the employes of the honk, and he is said to be intelligent and a good business man. The diaoovery seem* to have been made day or two ago that Wilson's accounts were irregular, and the matter has been kept quiet in order to secure any property he might This is the way the Cincinnati Com mercial put* the case: While we are talking about that peace ful merchantman, the “ Virgin: us.” that wa* under the Star Spangled Banner on an errand of international mercy and love, bearing some of our honored fellow-citizens, a telegram comas from Kingston, saying: “ There was no concealment made of the actual errand of the Virginias while she wa3 here. It was notorious. The officers had dancing parties on board, and public meetings were held in honor of Cuban Independence, at which a con signee of the Virginiu* occupied the chair. The steamer was repaired while in pert And coaled at the expense of Cu ban refagees.” , The fact is, the Virginias was insult ing the American flag by carrying it. and the gjp.ui.rrl. knew Key as well os we knew the Alabama or the Florida Confed- fedcrate cruisers. We have been en- araging filibustering in this country, thoughtlessly, and the danger of war in which we find ourselves is one of the fruits of this policy. The Spaniards are lortoroos fools to murder their priso- childreu. Mr. Johnson, perfectly bewil-1 ners, hut that is not our affair. An Escape from the Tombs. Tho New York Herald, of Thursday, says: “Yesterday afternoon, at about half-past one o’clock, William J. Sharkey, tho condemned murderer of Bob Dunn, escaped from the Tombs. In this age, when a wreath of romance is woven for the brow of almost every crime, it is af fecting to discover that picturesqneness is not wanting to the environment of a felon awaiting death upon tho gallows. Yesterday morning at ten, a girl named Maggie Jonrdnn called to soe Sharkey, and was admitted, going out again at one. At half-past twelve a woman, calling her self the wife of Wes’ Allen, was admit ted for the 3ame purpose, and on attempt ing to come out, two hours after, was de tained because she claimed to have lost the pass which it would have been nec essary for her to give up before stepping outside. Meanwhile, at half-past one—half on hoar after Maggie Jourdan had left, and half an hour before the other wo- man attempted to do so—a person dressed in the guise of a woman, and wearing a green veil, passed through the four doors and tho long corridor which intervened between Sharkey’s cell and liberty, and, making rapid progress toward Elm street, entered a car belonging to the Bieccker street line. This individual was Wi’.V-.*i J. Sharkey. The fonr doors through which ho had to pass were locked, and at the hour when the escape was made the long corridor was traversed by many peo ple. Mrs. Allen’s attempt to go out with out a pas* was the occasion (so runs the tale) of suspicion being awakened and of search being made. It wa3 then that Sharkey's cell was found vacant, and hu mustache, freshly shaved off. lying with the lather on it on a shelf. The fact that tho door of tho cell in which Sharkey was confined was always kept locked, except when temporarily opened to allow of tho passago of food, and that all communica tion between him and his visitors took •lace through xha moveless bars, only Leightons the suspicion of collnsion. The Feeling in Wall Street. Wall street yesterday, says the World of the 22d, was much disturbed by the rumored warlike aspect of Cuban affairs. It was universally scouted that tho Uni ted States had demanded of Spain the unconditional abolition of slavery in the Island of Cuba, as sensationally reported, and various opinions were expressed re garding tho effect upon the stock market of an absolute declaration of war, and the policy of the Government wa3 condemned vacillating. A prominent’and repre sentative stock-broker remarked that tho present Administration, having lost the respect and confidence of the financial and commercial portion of the commu nity, was now frantically struggling to regain lost ground by plunging the country into a war, hoping that it will be popular. This plan, ho thought, would not meet the views of responsible men, who had something to lose and nothing to gain by a war. The prevailing tone of feeling, however, seemed to be that, un less reports had greatly exaggerated, the Government had put itself in a position from which it could now extricate itself only by very prompt and decisive action. A similar sentiment also prevailed at the Fifth Avenue Hotel last evening. Spanish Fleet In Cuban Waters The captain of the Arapiles, the Span ish war steamer now undergoing repairs at the Brooklyn navy yard, informed a reporter at New York, Wednesday, that he had received orders from the homo government to get ready far sea at tho earliest possible moment, and proceed to Cabo. He expects his vessel to be ont of the dry dock in twenty days, when noth ing further will remain to be done except to take on board her powder and arma ment. Her powder is now in the yard magazine, and her guns, which ore of the Armstrong pattern, and much praised by yard officials, are at Cobb dock. The ex ecutive officer of the Arapiles believed that in addition to the fleet now in the West India squadron there could be put fa the Cuban waters within the time spe cified at least ten first-class frigates, each of about eight thousand tons register, and carrying about twenty-four guns. Aside from these the Spanish-Cuban fleet will, within a month, consist of the Arap iles, 3000 ton* register and seventeen guns; Pizarro, 2000 tons register and five guns; Biosco, Vasco Mencz, Hernan dez Cortez, St. Lucia. Andalusia. Isabel, Frcneica and Amineza, all of the samo size and armament as the Pixarro, and the Gerona, of 5000 tons_ register and fifty-one guns. In addition to these there should be mentioned thirty gun boats built in New York city in 1859, each of which carries a hundred-pound gun and fifty men. Foster lilodgett. The persistent appetite of Foster Blod gett for fiduciary positions 13 illustrated by the Charleston News and Courier in correcting an account of a little personal difficulty last week between one Neaglo and Governor Moses. Says that paper: It is said, besides, that the considera tion for the endorsement was the prom ise of Moses, which he did not keep, to appoint the notorious Foster Blodgett to be treasurer of one of the upper counties. That is tho version of the story which has come to Charleston- It is lucky for “one of the upper counties” that Moses did not keep his promise. True, all the treasurers in South Carolina are said to steal, but we reckon none can show such a facile hand as Blodgett. DAY DISPATCHES. Revolution in Spain. WisniNaroN. November 25.—The first intimation yesterday of a probable change of administration in Spain, with Serrano as dictator, came through British official sources. • • To-day the story is varied in another quarter—namely, that the Castelar gov ernment is to be overthrown by a combi nation of ruling Spaniards. The plan is said to include the establishment of Mar shal Serrano a; regent for tho young Duke Alfonso. Our government has no official advices on the subject, nor does it consider these reposts trustworthy. Appointment. The President has appointed E. R.

War Preparations in Havana. New York, November 25.—A letter from Havana, dated November 20th, says there is much talk of war with the United States. Tho Captain General and his military chiefs have had several meetings, but the result of their deliberations is not known. One tiling is certain, however, thnt preparations for a defence are being actively made. Guns are being mounted on all the forts around the city. Who they will get to man them is another matter, a3 they have no artillerymen. Powder is also being supplied and a gen eral bustle is noticeable around the ar senals. Fooplo talk warlike and express their determination to make no conces sion. They say they will fight to tho last before they will give up the Virgin ias. or any of the persons who took part in tho execution of her crew. Conservative journals publish articles to excite tho people and Republican pa pers join in for fear they will not bo con sidered patriotic. The statement that the Tornado was a blockade runner is incorrect. She was built in England for the Chilian Govern ment at tile time of the war with Spain, and was captured by the Spanish man-of- war Gerona, and taken into Cadiz, where she wa3 condemned and sold. She is a fine vessel. Refused to Appoint Trustees. Jndgo Bairett to-day refused to ap point Richard N. Bowne and Benjamin C.

Washington, November 25.—A Cabi- inet session of two hours’ duration was held to-day. All were present except Robeson, who is in Philadelphia. The Virgtaiu8 affair only received considera tion. It is stated that Secretary Robe son will issue an order for a battalion of marines to accompany tho Franklin to Key West, 800 strong, and the command of tbo same will be tendered to Lieut. Col. James Forney, a son of Col. John W. Forney. The War Cloud Diminishing—Better Prospect for Peace. The Cabinet was in session only about two hoars to-day. All the members were present, except Secretary Robeson, who is in Philadelphia, in connection with naval preparations. The Spanish question wa* debated, but no additional facts were presented by the Secretary of State, nor was any new ac tion taken relative to tho subject. Nothing has occurred since the capture of tho Virginias and the executions which followed, to show that the Spanish government is influenced by any but a friendly desire to preserve peace between the two nations, and if possible, to culti vate stronger relations of friendship. This Government will act towards Spain as toward all other countries in cases of controversy, and await with proper re spect, replies to our complaint. There is, however, anxiety e: tor Intelligence from Spain of a character, in order that Congress may, in the President’s message, be made ac quainted with all the fact*. There are indications that dispatches were received to-night by both Secretary Fish and Admiral Polo, the Spanish min ister bom Madrid, of a character which gives more than heretofore promised of a peaceful solution of present complications, and it is known that these gentlemen were in private conference for several hours to-night, at the residence ot Mr. Fish, comparing dispatches anddiseusstag gen erally the relation of affairs. It seems to be the impression that in stead of our Government having to wait for reports from Minister Sickles con cerning the Spanish Cabinet’s view*, the Spanish Cabinet has conferred extraor dinary powers on Admiral Polo to com municate directly with our Government through the Secretary of State. _ At all events, the Spanish Minister is now brought into more intimate communica tion with Secretary Fish than at any time since the present trouble began. It was remarked to-night, by a gentle man prominently connected with this Government, that things look far more hopeful now than ever. Now York News. New Tore, November 25.—At a meet ing of the Clearing-house to-day, a re port of tho Committee of Nine recom mending certain articles of association and rules governing deposit* were bid on the table.

Key West, November 23.—Tho steam er General Meade stopped off tho bar to day and landed recruits for the naval squadron here. What a Spanish Newspaper lias to Say. Havana, November 23.—The Diario de la Marina has an editorial to-day, of which the following is an extract: “ The Washington Government knows to-day, and tho United States Congress will know to-morrow, the justice with which tho Spanish authorities have acted. *They will take care of tho national honor with out suffering themselves to be influ enced by tho cries of tho masses, who know not what these Cuban patriots are. Far from our minds ho the feelin g of arrogance; farther, still, the feeling of debility. From our hearts wo neither seek nor shun the peril. If the Ameri cans oblige us to fight we will. If the mother country oan aid us wo will thank her, but if wo must contend alone there are enough Spaniard* in Cuba to keep our banner safe. We will sell very dearly that which was once the most brilliant flower of the Crown of Castile." Funeral of Count San Fernando. Tho funeral of the late Count San Fer nando took place to-day.
