The telegram positively announces the in itiation of a triple alliance, consisting of Eng land, France and Bpain, against the United States Government. No donbt most people an ticipated snefc a movement, but, still, the prompt beginning of it is a little startling. Some will say that France came so unsatisfac torily out of 'her alliance with Spain and Eng land in I8G3, that she should not have been in haste to "form another. But in thin case the reasons for it were peculiarly strong. As the head and front of them, the parties were al ready leagued ‘in an agreement to guarantee Spain in the possession of Cuba, as against the United States. Next, the rejection of the Alabama treaty for the reasons assigned by Mr. Sumner was no tice in advance to France that she was held in affront, on account of the recognition of the Confederacy. Fully determined to make no further conces sions in relation to'the Alabama claims, Great Britain could look for nothing less than vexation and trouble, in combatting, single-handed, the further pretensions of our government. Both of these, great powers have a heavy com mercial interest in preventing the acquisition of Guba by the United States, and a manifest contingent interest in averting the peril to which snch an acquisition would expose their West India dependencies. Above all they-do not mean that this govern ment shall acquire the absolute control of the Gulf and Caribbean seas. So to sum it all up they are going to try the moral effect of an alliance, offensive and defen sive in putting a stop to these pretensions and aggressions. They are going to treat ns very politely, but let us understand at once that if we choose to affront one of these powers we must fight the whole. And what will'bo tho effect ? Heaven knows —we don’t Like enough the North is so full of wind and vain-glory—so stuffed with notions of her irresistible military prowess, that the effect of this alliance will be inflammatory instead of cautionary. The majority of Northern presses and politicians have committed themselves to such absurd and highstreng positions upon these Alabama claims, that they will refuse to take the back-track, and go ahead in order to show how little they are to be frightened by the “effete monarchiesofEurope.” TlieAdministration, too, is manifestly disposed to belligerency. A good many people of the North think that a war might save the country from drifting into a con dition of anarchy or perishing with the dry rot of corruption; but whether they will be willing to take such a dose of war at one gulp is a ques tion. The United States is, manifestly to every man capable of taking an enlightened and Christian view of the matter, in precisely that condition when the heaviest kind of a thrashing would do her good. Reduce her to great distress and trouble, and she would get rid of a thousand rampant follies and crimes which are now raging worse than a pestilence. But we hope, on the whole, to pass the rest of our days in peace. We are inclined to donbt whether Grant, Creswell, Sumner and Wendell Philips will take hold of these three effete mon archies or knock the chips off their shoulders. I>et them, at least, call a special tea-drinking in Faneuil Hall before they undertake tho business. Tiet us see what Miss Anna Dickinson and Miss -Cady Stanton have to say about it. At all evonts, the tripple alliance will test the diplom acy of the Fish Cabinet. announced yesterday that General Wil- afi. Browne would assume the editorial de scent of the Augusta Press. We sincerely emulate ,our cotemporary on tho acquisi- cu such an associate. General Browne is •Knnmthe editorial corps of the United fe, and has been long distinguished as an *nd vigorous writer. For many years he connected with the Journal of Commerce, Stw York city, from which position, on the iteration of the Buchanan administration, ns called by that President, to edit his offi- ■ organ, the Constitution. <e welcome with much cordiality the Gener- ick to his old vocation, and trust that the kerhood of tho Georgia press will extend to tho right hand of fellowship and friend- . and that our State will profit by his abili- uperienee and learning as an editor. i is stated that the French Atlantic Cable -psny will land their shore end at a point on 'oetdi nearly fronting the new Stockton Ho lt Cape May.

Tho apostles of the art preservative of all arts, are at last, by the action of the administra tion of General Grant, precipitated into the bnbbKng and seething cauldron of the “ nigger question.” The art of “ mixing colors,” which the administration has been studionsly pursuing and applying in its official appointments, is now doubtless to be practised upon its mere labor employees throughout. It begins with the print ers, and, we suppose, is to bo run through the catalogue -of tradesmen and tradeswomen em ployed by the government. The first notifica tion we had of the movement was in the follow ing press dispatch: Thirty-six typos, mostly veteran Washingtoni ans, were discharged from the government print ing office to-day. This was to make room for the “negro com positors.” Then came the next announcement: The Typographical Union is agitated over the the question of admitting to membership negro compositors appointed by Clapp in the govern ment printing office. To make this clear, it must be understood that the “Printer’s Union" is a guild or association among working printers throughout the United States, by which they pledge themselves to be •governed by certain rules—offensive and de fensive. One of these rules is never to work in an office which employs craftsmen who are not members of the Union. Now, as the Printer’s Gnild is also an organization for social and be nevolent purposes, the question is brought down to this issue—tho printers must admit these ne groes to all the rights and privileges of their or ganization, and “fellowship” them socially and professionally, or, refusing to admit them into the Union, they must cease to labor where the negroes are employed. They must leave the government printing offices in a body, and tom the whole business of government printing over bodily to the negroes. We cannot pretend to say what they will do; but if they conclude to stop type setting for tho government the government must go to ,l rat- ting"—that is, employing snch strolling white printers, outside the guild, as shall be willing to supplement the negroes, or rely' upon the privileged race alone for doing the printing of the government. The question, in all its rami fications, is an interesting one. Distinction on Account op Colob.—The Re publican says the efforts of Mr. Cresswell to make the negro, Sims, postmaster at Savannah, are clearly an infraction of the civil rights bill, which declares there shall be no distinction on the grounds of “race or color.” Sims is a negro, he has a black skin, and we defy Mr. Cresswell to say that he was selected on any othfr ground. He is without businoss qualifications for the office, and was chosen solely on the ground of his “race or color.” The Waem Speings.—This place of popular summer resort says the Columbus Enquirer, will be opened on tho first of June, by the old proprietor, CoL Jno. L. Mustian. These waters are known from New Orloans to Boston, and no one has ever spent a month with CoL Mustian without being almost rejuvenated. They are situated in tho most pleasant and salubrious re gion of Georgia, surrounded by an intelligent and highly cultivated population.

Who is to Command in Cnba ? The New York World, of the 8th, contradicts its statement of the day before that Gen. Jordan was to be General-in-Chief in Cnba, and says; “It was stated in yesterday's World that Gen. Jordan would command the Cuban Army when all the contingents were united. This is a mis take of ours. We are assured by tho party who showed us the muster-rolls that "Gen. Jordan, who is said to be the groat organizing officer of the old Confederate Army, will not command the Cuban Army, but will merely perfect its or ganization, ana that the officer that is to com mand it went out disguised on Tuesday in the Arago as a private soldier, and that he did not discover himself to the men until the vessel had left the harbor. This officer is well known in From Louisville. Corretpondence of the Telegraph.] Louisville, May 9,18G9. AN AWFUL NIGHT. Our city was visited on Tuesday night last by the wildest storm of thnnder, hail, and rain, known in this section for many years. For a time it really seemed as if heaven, earth, and a cer tain region that shall be nameless, had all gone together at this particular juncture, determined to settle the little difference of opinion long known to have existed between them, as regards several great moral questions. From all quar ters of the compass the heavens were in a blaze of light, and such crashes of thunder as made the stoutest heart.quake with terror. The sullen roar from “ Gettysburg” was the mere sport of boys, in comparison to this awful clamor of the elements. Then came the stirring rat-a-plan of hail, followed soon by whirling, eddying sheets of rain that in a short time made sober old Lou isville, with her wildly flaring lamps, gleam from the darkness and sweeping waste of waters, like glorious Venice throned on her hundred isles. A great deal of damage was done to persons and property; and yet it was, after all, a blessing in disguise; accomplishing more for the future san itary condition of the city than all the bogus measures of all the health-commissioners for a twelve-month past or to come. A CARNIVAL OF PLEASURE. The coining week promises to be the gayest of the season. To-morrow (Monday) evening the invincible Ole Bull will again wake from the ocean of immortal harmony many of his most bewitching melodies. Almost inhearing of him Blind Tom will again recall to mind the drums, the trumpets, the deep thunder “peal on peal afar” that, under the burning sun of July, ’61, shook the red field of Manassas. Louisville has at all times an earnest welcome in store for this poor sightless child of Ethiope, whose vision was doubtless veiled in deep shadow by the Di vine Master, only that his soul might become a living opera of beauty and harmony that should move all hearts as they were never stirred be fore. Lucille Western, the beautiful and gifted young actress, will at the same time offer an irresistible attraction at the Opera House; while lost, but not least, the mammoth circus and menagerie of the great “Forepaugh” will draw off thousands who prefer that class of amuse ments. So witlj all these magic influences, to say nothing of the nightly velocipede drills and parlor skating exhibitions, we shall, at the end of this “carnival week,” be at no loss what- aver to account for any remarkable depletion in either our private or municipal exchecquer. MAY IN LOUISVILLE. Should you ever have occasion, either from business or pleasure, to extend your travels thus far, allow me to suggest that you mnke your arrangements to visit us in the charming, delicious month of May. At this season you will find our countless shade trees in full leaf. It will afford ns pleasure to stroll with you by many a flower garden redolent with beauty and balm. The skies that now bend above ns are serene and beautiful as those that charmed my senses while I lingered in your own bright clime. Yes, visit us in the flowery month of May, and you will understand, almost as by in tuition, what we are scribbling about when we say that Fourth street especially offers attrac tions to a 6tranger, which he will find it im possible to resist. We hazard nothing and speak by the card when we affirm that, during twelve hours on any bright day in the month of May, a greater number of pretty girls trip light ly along Fourth street, Louisville, Ky., than through any other thoroughfare in the known world; and so strong are we in the faith, that we unhesitatingly throw down the gauntlet, prepared to fight anything or anybody upon the question in debate. The business of the city still continues very lively, and improvements in every part of the town go steadily forward. We are happy to state that several of our staunohest capitalists are at th9 present time seriously considering the project of starting one or more large factories near the falls of the Ohio. Were a scheme like this once realized, onr progress as a city would be unprecedented. It is strange, indeed, that the wonderful natural resources we possess have not long since been brought into requisition. “More first-class funerals” is the daily prayer of those whose energies are fettered by the lords of the soil, whose obstinate purpose seems to be to do nothing, sell nothing, nor improve anything. Men of this class may possess money and property qualifications, yet they are only the ponderous clogs, the deadweights that hang heavily upon the wheels of progress, occupying the space that would otherwise bo taken by the brawny shoulders of the man of life and ener gy, who would urge the glorious car onward to the noblest heights of enterprise and success. Then let the “ te deum” be sung, we say, when ever or wherever one of these mortal clogs re linquishes his deadly hold and drops out of sight forever. We are waiting, Micawber-liko, for the full blown development of several important news items yet in embryo, and which will, we hope, Mrm the nucleus of a communication hereafter. Yours, etc., O. L. S. JBY TELE GRAPH HIGHLY IMPORTANT FROM KlJKWPX. England, France, and Spain in Alliance Against the United States. London, May 12.—Initiatory steps have been taken for an alliance, offensive and defensive, between England, France, and Spain, against the United States, in view of the rejection of the Alabama treaty. This been brought about by th‘e tone of Sum ner’s speech—the alleged fillibustering tendency of Grants administration, and ita reported connivance at expeditions against Cuba. Cotton Injured.—We hear complaints from many farmers in Sumter county. Some we have seen who were compelled to plow up and replant more than half their cotton. The weather has been unfavorable for a week past, and the plant has an unhealthy appearance in most localities we have heard from To-day, however, the weather is more moder ate, and it is to be hoped that it is the beginning of s favorable growing season.—Amerkus Cou rier. - Newspaper Announcement.—The proprietor of the Augusta Press, announces that ho has concluded an arrangement by which General William M. Browne will become the political editor of that paper, and have exclusive control of the political department; and that with its the old regular'and volunteer armies, and is of next issue, General Browne will formally an- flrst-class capability. ” J nounce himself as ita political editor. From Washington. Washington, May 11.—An order assigning fifty- six army officers, who are left ont by tho consolida tion of the army,to Indian duty has been promulga ted. Should vacancies occur the order entitles them to promotion in the regular army. They will be in line the same as though detached on ordinary mili tary duty. The Typographical Union is agitated OTer the question of admitting to membership negro com positors appointed by Clapp in the Government printing office. The President appointed Frank M. Pifly District Attorney for California. The Postmaster General has received a notice from the far West that tho mails go through to day by all raff. The intimations are strong that Halo will remain at Madrid. Opposition to Sickles appears to be too strong. Senator Chandler, it is stated, returned suddenly to secure Judge Edwards a situation in the Senate Postmastership. It is now stated that Bontwell says the purchase of bonds is merely intended to save interest; they wiilnotbe cancelled but held for contingencies.— He is not prepared to act upon the sinking fund question. Admiral Hoff, commanding the fleet in Cuban waters, lias been notified by tho Secretary of the Navy to look ont for the Spanish vessels that are in the habit of searching American merchantmen in Spanish and neutral waters, for diserters and con traband war material, etc., and to prevent, here after, any infraction of tho international law. He is directed to protect not only American citizens; but American commerce. Coin, balance in the. Treasury, $107,000,000, in cluding $20,000 in gold certificates. There was a full Cabinet to-day; Commodore Porter representing Borie. W. W. C. has donated property worth a million dollars to Washington for the use of a picture gallery. Belmonte has authorized the trustees to choose twelve from his collection of paintings, to be known as the Beffnonte contribution. Clift has been appointed Postmaster at Savannah. Frettyman at Marietta, Ga. The Cabinet considered Virginia very fully to-day, and finally determined on an order for an election soon to be issued—the test oath and the disfran chising clauses to be submitted to a separate vote. Possibly county and town organizations may be included in the exceptions before the order is final ly issued. This was strongly urged to-day, but the opposition was stubborn. Boutwell issues an elaborate circular prescribing the proofs necessary to secure the taxes paid by non-residents. It includes claims by banks, com panies, corporations, and by individual non-resi dents. The order applies to taxes imposed and col lected prior to March 10, I860. Washington, May 12.—Tho Chairman has called tho House Judiciary Committee together on the 18tb of May, to consider the Alabama Judge Busteed impeachment case. Delano returns on Saturday. Wm. Cullen Bryant goes as Minister to France, in case Washbumo takes broad hints and resigns. The Court of Claims adjourns about the 1st of June. The Sub-Committee of the House Judiciary Com mittee, consisting of Eldridge, Kerr, Lockridge and Cook, depart May 22d for Montgomery, to take evidence in tho Busteed case. The Treasury Department is making arrange ments to carry into execution tho provisions of the act of 1862, relative to the establishment of a sink ing fund. It is not BoutweU’s intention to put bonds, purchased weekly, on the market; nor is it his expectation that they wfll bo reissued in any form. His object is the reduction of the principal and interest On the public debt. Whiteley has been appointed as Chief of the Treasury Detective force. Three young men were fined three dollars each for riding velocipedes on the pavements. The President and several heads' of the depart ments have given conditional promises to attend the peace jubilee in Boston. McClellan’s visit to-day had reference to Steven’s floating battery for the defence of the New York harbor, whereof McClellan is Engineer in charge. The triple alliance dispatch telegraphed at noon, was a Loudon special to the Tribune. Its promulgation created intense excitement, but the course of bonds in London to-day and other facts lead to its general discredit. Murder in Warren County. Augusta, May 11.—Josoph Adkins, a Radical Sen ator from Warren county, was shot in the abdomen yesterday, p. il, by a man named Thompson. Re ports assign the cause to a private difficulty growing ont of a erim. con. case. It is believed that Adkins' wound will prove mortal. There is considerable discussion as to the propri ety of extending the Georgia Railroad to Blue Ridge to form a connection with the Cincinnati & South ern Railroad. General News.
