The Capture of tho Spanish Squadron- How it Vu Done. Bayonne, July 22.—Newn received here through the €arlit* oonoorning the insur reotion at Cartbagona, throws additional light on the defection of the Hpaniah equadron in that jtort, which was made the subject of a government decree and a rote in the Cortes yesterday. Tho Insurgents utter gaining oontrol of the city, seised the Costello, a strong fort on the west side of the harbor, less than a thousand yards fam the entrance, which it commands completely. This gave them control of tbs two lower batteries on the shore, at the mouth of tho harbor. They posted the red flag of the Commune over the for t ideations and snnunonod the squadron , lying in th% harbor. The crews were in sympathy with the Insurgents, and the vessels fell into their hands without oppo sition. The chief command is now entrusted to Pass*, who led the insurrection in the naval arsenal at Favial, in the province of Corunna, some months ago. The vessels thus taken by the Insurgents are the Victory, an iron-dad of 25 guns; Pet ram, iron-clad of AO guns; Almsga, iron-clad of 48 guns; and the steamers Fernando, Oatelizc, Ferralana and Blasoo Garay, not classified. The four vessels first named are among the finest in the Spanish navy. THE WAR IN SPAIN—MORE MUTINIES, DEFEC TIONS AND SURRENDERS. Madrid, July 22.—1 tis reported that the Iberian regiment, which the Govern ment dispatched to Carthagena to aid in quelling the outbreak there, has mutinied and joined the Insurgents in a body. At Victoria there are seven thousand Republican troops in a complete state of demoralization and disorganization. Sev eral of the municipal officers have been murdered by the soldiers. The Bepublioan troops at Crargui have surrendered to the Carlists on condition that their lives should be spared. In spite ©f the terms 6f the surrender the Carlists shot a number of them after they had de livered up (heir arms. Don Alpliouao has sent to the Spanish Government a formal proposition for tho arrangement of a cartel for an exchange of prisoners. SPANISH DISTRESSK.S—REVOLT OP THE NAVY. The ere vs of the Spanish men-of-war Almanza, Vittorio, Mendez, Nunez, and Foruoudo el O&tottoo have revolted. The Government has proclaimed these vessels pirates, authorizing their capture by any foreign power on the high seas, and thoir treatment as pirates. Decrees have been issued dismissing Generals Contreas and Pierod, and re moving the civil governments of Cordova, Murcia, Ponlevidra, Leon and Orenzc. General Pavia has been appointed Cap tain General of Andalusia and Estrama tluru. Alicante has declared itself inde pendent. Important Lew Argument - Can a State Be Sued. Reverdy Johnson, in tho matter of the Bpecial Tax bonds issued by North Caro lina, after thorough investigation and elab orate review of the facts, gave it as his opinion that the bondholders had a good . and complete remedy to get the interest paid upon the bonds by applying to the *U. S. District Court for a mtmdamus to be diseeted to the Comptroller-General of the Btate, requiring him to levy a tax for the payment of past due and maturing coupons. Mr. Johnson's opinion ia approved by Mr. Caleb Cushing, and the bondholders will act upon their advice. Mr. Johnson is in structed to commence proceedings at once. At last, then, we may expect an authorita tive decision upon s clear case made of the great question, can a State be sued? Both Mr. Johnson and Mr. Cushing have made the study of law the labor of their lives. To great ability they unite an in dustry uncommon even in the ranks of the profession of the law. They hold that the constitutional inhibition against suing a State is wrong, and they believe that the current of the decisions shows that their belief is shared by the highest tribunal in the land. The bonds were issued by the Legislature, and at the same time an act was passed requiring a special tax to be levied annually for paying the interest. A succeeding Legislature repealed this act, and disowned the bonds. But say Messrs. Johnson and Cushing, the repeating act came after the negotiaton of the bonds, it deprived boon fide purchasers for value of vested rights, and it is therefore, retroac tive, unconstitutional, null and void. The . theory upon which these lawyers proceed 1 is this: that though there is an amendment to the United States Constitution, which prevents a Btate being dragged into a court of justice like an ordinary debtor, still such amendment is wrong and will be evaded by the courts, though they dare not disregard it openly. Gathering the bias of the court from the case of Gaines vs. Chisholm and the case against the Au ditor of Ohio, they assert that unless the Btate is by name n party to the record, the suit will be sustained. mecßixAßßOt's ADratnemnn.

THE SAVANNAH DAILY NEWS. v . The Savannah Daily Moazixo Nrwaitacknowl edged by the Presa and people to be the best daily paper south of Louisville and eaat of New Orleaaa. Carrying with it the prestige and reli ability of age, it has all the vigor and vitality at youth, and its enterprise as a gatherer of the latest and freshest newt has astonished its con temporaries and met the warm approbation of the public. During the year 187S, no expense of rime, labor, and money will be spent to keep the Mousing News ahead of all competitors in Georgia jour nalism, and to deserve the flattering encomiums heaped upon it from all quarters. There has, at yet, been no serious attempt made to rival the special telegrams which the News inaugurated some years ago, and the consequence is, that the reader in search of the latest intelligence always looks to the Morning News. The telegraphic ar rangements of the paper are such that the omis sions made by the general presa reports are promtly and reliably supplied by its special cor respondents. Tho Morning News has lately been enlarged to a thirty-six column paper, and its broad scope of type embraces, daily, everything of interest that transpires in the domain ofLiterature, Art, Science, Religion, and general intelligence; giv ing to the reader more and better digested mat ter than any other paper in the State. It is perhaps needless to speak of the politics of the Hohsi.no Newb. For years and years—in deed since its establishment—it has been a repre sentative Bouthem paper, and from that time to the present, in all conjunctures, it has consis tently and persistently maintained Democratic State* Rights principles, and labored, with an ardor and devotion that know no abatement, to promote and preserve the interests and honor of the South. The special features of the Mominww News will be retained and improved upon during the en suing year, and several new attractions will be added. The Georgia news items, with their quaint and pleasant humor, and the epitome of Florida af fairs will be, continued during the year. The lo cal department will be, as it has been ter the past year, the most complete and reliable to be round in any Savannah paper, and the commer cial columns will be full and accurate. The price of the Daily is *IOOO per annum; *8 00 for nil months; *1 00 for one month. The price of the Tri-Weekly News is *6 00 per annum, *3 00 lor six months, and *IOO for three months. Tho prioo of the Weekly News is *2 00 per an num, *IOO for six months; 80 cents for three months. Subscriptions for either edition of the Mornino Newb msy be sent by express at the risk and cx j pense of the proprietor. Address J H.EBTILL. Savannah. Oa, msciLUßiori aiivkhtimbmewr*.
