It will Ik: painful intelligence to the many
triends of this good and gifted man to learn that
lie has been gathered to his fathers, having ex
pired ut las residence in Athens on Thursday last.
His death was sudden, while in the enjoyment
of his usual health. It was his custom at morn
ing to devote a short time to the study of that
Bible which hail been the constant companion of
his long and useful life. On being called to
breakfast on the morning ofliis death, his failure
to attend caused a servant to be sent to summon
him a second time, when it was discovered that
the vital spark had flown while sitting in his
chair in the act of reading the great hook whose
teachings he had followed throughout his long,
honorable and Christian career. Thus lias passed
from earth one of Georgia’s most honored sons,
and one in whom was blended not only all the
elements of a useful citizen, but whose virtues
were of that rare order possessed liy few men.
The light of his exemplary and model
course of life shone like sunshine around him;
and if a perfect man ever dwelt upon earth,
the spotless character of Asbury Hull was
such as to stamp him as one. He had been
honored with the confidence of his consti
tuents in the General Assembly of our State du
ring many sessions, and won golden opinions by
the wisdom and manliness which characterized
him in the councils of liis 8tatc. No public act
of his life can he pointed to that does not exhib
it qualities ol head and heart greatly to be ad
mired ; while in the home circle, and in social
life he stood forth a model and a bright ornament.
To the church, and to the community in which
he lived, his loss will he irreparable, while over
the sacred grief that must pervade the circle of
his extensive family connexions we could wish
to draw a veil.
Wi£ publish to-day in the Intelligencer
the speech of the Honorable Joshua Hill, of Mor
gan, delivered before the members of the Geor
gia Legislature on the night previous to the
election of U. S. Senators.
Whatever may he thought or said ol Mr. llill,
we are certain that there is no man in this or any
other country, more candid and honest than
Joshua IIill. He is without duplicity—lias no
opinion or sentiments to conceal, and always
advocates what lie believes will advance the best
interest of his people, and the whole country, re
gardless of his individual aggrandisement or of
any preferment, and we give him credit for it.

Those wiio ake disposed to ubumdi.e at the
present prices for daily and weekly newspapers
in this country, will do well to notice what Eu
ropean journals cost. The London Times costs
forty-five dollars a year. The Hominy Chroni
cle, DttiJy Kerrs, Globe, Herald and Post, charge
the same rates. The London semi-weeklies
twelve dollars. The French daily papers, large
ones, are. about the same price as the London
prints. Those about the size ot ours cost twen
ty and twenty-five dollars a year. The German
papers cost from twenty-two to thirty-six dollars
a year. The cost of paper and composition, and
indeed everything connected with the make up
of the paper, is much less in Europe than in this
country, so that the American journals are even
cheaper than would appear from the disparity of
prices.
The Quartermaster General refuses to pay
for property used during the war for military
purposes in the Southern States. The following
decision has just been made in a case where
vouchers had been given, by order of a com
manding general for the use of a blacksmith shop
and tools belonging to a loyal citizen of Win
chester, Va.;
“Winchester was a hostile town, captured from
an enemy who did not surrender on terms, but
were driven out by force of arms; everything in
it was prize of war; as at Atlanta and Charleston,
buildings were occupied lbrshelter of troops, and
for sick and wounded soldiers. It does not ap
pear that the Military Department snould order
payment of any rents under such circumstances.”
We understand that this decision will apply to
all similar cases arising in the Southern States,
even where the claimants produce evidence of
loyalty.
There is a story going the rounds about Mr
Frederick Hudson, of the New York Herald
lie lias been thirty years on that paper, and now
proposes to retire, having been on “night duty”
all that time. He had a monomama for the pro
fession of a journalist, and too much work and
too much ardor broke him down. A year or so
ago he was a tall, straight,j six-foot-two individu
al, of a strong and powerful frame, a keen eye
and a quick one. He is now bent—bent very
considerably; and having contracted a very se
rious disease of the throat, lias been ordered by
his physician to the open air. lie lias conse
quently sold his Twenty-second street residence
to Brady, the photographer, and leaves on May
tlio first for liis farm near Concord, Mass., where
he is to remain one year.
Tiie Paris correspondence of the Independence
Bilye says it is known that the entire French
Ministry were in favor of the evacuation of Mex-
co, and it is rumored that at the last council they
obtained from the Emperor a promise to send no
new troops to Mexico. The assertion is also
added that the speech from the throne will make
mention of the projected evacuation.
—
It is reported that Gen. Sherman lias been
summoned by the President, and will be sent to
take command on the Rio Grande, in order that
there may be no further violations of neutrality
there. Our forces on the Mexican frontier have
been steadily and greatly reduced during the last
two months.
Tins intention of the President to veto the ne

the Senate, has been plainly and frankly express

Faithless emigrants, and how a Southern
planter lost a car load of German laboring peo
ple, is finis related by the Cincinnati Gazette :
The tribulations of our Southern brethren, in
regard to labor, are not confined to the negroes,
as the following facts strikingly demonstrate.—
The fact that emigrant ships are constantly ar
riving in New York, with hundreds of hardy ad
venturers, seeking fortunes in the new world,
having attracted the attention of Southern plant
ers and farmers, since the loss of their negroes,
many ot them have gone on and brought out
these emigrants and established them as tenants
or employed them tis laborers. Among those
who sought to revive their business in this way,
was a Mr. J. J. Mhoon, and some associates, liv
ing near Memphis. This gentleman on reaching
New York, found Castle Garden filled with emi

The Philadelphia Press, ot Tuesday, says:
“Last evening Colorado Jewett, having engaged
a private box at the Arch street theatre for three
evenings, proceeded to that place of amusement,
accompanied by a colored man servant. In a
i short time a messenger was sent to Mr. Jewett,
1 conveying a verbal order to remove the servant,
enate, asking • as colored persons were not allowed in that part
of the theater. Mr. Jewett refused to comply.
In a few moments a second message was sent,
asking Mr. J. to remove his servant, as his pre
sence there might be distasteful to the audience.
that its effects and consequences were limited to
myself alone, it would be a matter of small
amount. Such, I apprehend, will not be the re
sult.
There are very few men who may, with pro
priety, attempt "to interest others in a history of
themselves. But for an occasion that approaches
it would be extreme arrogance in me. Whatever
foibles ot character I may possess, whatever de
gree of vanity, I believe all will aquit me at least
of a desire to obtrude my private life, and I may
add my political life also, on the attention of
others ’
It is well known that I aspire to be a United
States Senator. This has not only been known
to the people of Georgia, but by means of the
press to the people of the whole country. I was
more than forty years of age before I consented
to enter the arena of active political life. Up to
that day nothing could persuade me to embark
upon such a sea. I had resisted the importuni
ties of friends successfully. An occasion came
under high party excitement where from noagen
cy of mine, but "with my own disapproval, I was
unanimously nominated by a party convention
for a seat in Congress. I resisted for a consider
able time the persuasions of friends, but at last
yielded and have lived to repent that I had not
adhered to my original purpose. I was elected
and took my seat. It was in those days ot ex
citement, of bitterness and vituperation, when
the sections arrayed against each other were
sought to gain the favorTof their constituents by
the revilings of each other. One of my earliest
declarations on the floor of Congress was a fixed
determination, ou no account, to engage in the
discussion of the slavery question. To this
faithfully adhered even against the remonstrance
of friends, because of my conviction of duty to
my country, and respect "to my own judgment—
It was a question with which the national coun
cils had no right to interfere. I derided in my
speeches to the people the poor, ephemeral repu
tation, won in such inglorious contests, compar
ing them in their dangers to those who claim the
merit of gallantry in such battles, to the petty
contests of ignorant litigants in the Justices’
Court.
I will not fatigue you with a recital of the de
tails of my political life. Against all the remon
strances I could utter, contrary to all the entrea
ties l hat I could interpose, the people of Georgia,
perhaps I should say, the leaders of the people,
madly rushed the State into the vortex of revo
lution. I was in my seat at Washington. I have
been blamed for continuing in it. I have never
taken pains to speak of the injustice done me in
supposing that 1 would pocket a cent more of the
public money than did my associates. I now say
that 1 disdained to do it. I remember that one
of the papers of tiiis State stigmatized me for the
respect shown me by an overwhelming majority
of the House, including the Speaker and its
prominent members, who met me with much
feeling upon my retirement from the hall. They
tendered me the floor for a week if 1 desired it,
to expose what had been Cone in Georgia. I de
clined the proffered honor. True, I remained at
Wasliington, but not as a member of Congress.
I returned to Georgia, and found the State in a
blaze of revolution. I was not disappointed in
finding myself the object of obloquy, if not of
scorn. In the midst of all this I maintained my
own opinions irrespective of the clamors of lead
ers and multitudes, and never sought, during the
frightful contest that ensued, to be heard in any
assembly of men. From the day I left Congress
until 1 entered this hall lor the purpose of restor-
the ancient relations between the State and
the Government, I took no part in any public
meeting; and, had the strife continued years lon
ger, it was my fixed determination to abstain
from participation and discussion.
For this, and for iny uniform and sincere con
duct on all occasions, I obtained a lodgment in
the national heart; and men of national feeling'
have refused to forget me. It is from no feeling
ot vanity that I declare it is a source of proud
consolation to me that this feeling is so widely
entertained and so forcibly expressed by the
masses of the loyal men throughout the Union.
I could recount innumerable instances of con
fidence and regard shown me, in kindness solicit
ed for others, by the Government and its officers
and agents, both civil and militaiy. For these
things I have obtained neither fee nor expected
reward. I could not charge money from any one
for my influence with the Government, especially
when accompanied with my pledge for the sin
cerity and fidelity of an applicant for its favors.
For this would be to sell that which is above
price.
Young Mr. Conklin

Upon the overthrow of the Confederacy, when
its civil officers were fleeing as wretched fugi
tives, and when its war-worn, barefoot, dispirited
soldiery Were seeking their once happy homes, it
occurred to men that I, in that rude hour of ad
versity, might, in behalf of the citizens of Geor
gia, appeal to the President for clemency. I was
approached by letters from gentlemen of the
highest position, who importuned me to forget
the unpleasant past, and, magnanimously forgiv
ing those who'll ad reviled me, to repair to Wash
ington on this mission ot mercy. Surrounded
with the wreck of a shattered fortune and a dis
tressed household, I accepted the trust. Here
let me not tail to return my grateful thanks to
those who, for the sake of the people, contribu
ted to defray my expenses. I exerted—with
whatever of success I must leave others to judge
—my powers to obtain an amelioration of the
policy of the Government towards this people.
I represented them as contrite, heart-broken, and
ready to embrace the requirements of the Gov
ernment. If, in my anxiety to benefit them, I
overstepped the bounds of propriety, you at least
will scarcely censure me. Subsequent events
max*, I fear, have convinced the Government that
I was too sanguine, and that, in tlieir hearts, the
great mass were not so kindly affected to the
Union as I sought to make it appear. While
thus engaged, I contributed to the enlargement
of officers in prison, and obtained pardon for
some who had offended the laws. In that day
it did not occur to me that I was despised for the
influence I was thus enabled to exercise. A brave,
generous man, and former friend and acquaint
ance of mine, was placed in command of the de
partment of Georgia. To him I applied—how
often I cannot undertake to say—for acts of kind
ness of every variety of character to poor, dis
tressed men and friendless families. I never ap
plied in vain. His heart, as tender as it is brave,
always melted at appeals to bis humanity. I was
careful not to claim at his hands what I thought
was unjust, and thus abuse the confidence he re
posed in me. This influence was not limited to
liitu alone, but extended to all his commanding
officers, and to the officers of the Government
generally. Here let me inquire what it was that
trave me this power to do good ? I answer, no
thing but the conviction, ou the minds of all,
that 1 had been true to the Government through
out the frightful scenes of conflict
You will all bear me witness that I have not
importuned you for your votes—for that, if noth
ing else, you shall give me credit In determining
a choice "for Senators, I have a right to insist that
you do not hurt to the State, by electing a man,
who from an}* cause cannot serve you if elected.
I have no right to urge upon you, nor will I, my
abilities to represent the State, but I may, and
should present my availability. ~ If any ot you
imagine that it is a matter of trifling importance,
what position, civil or military, an individual has
occupied in the defunct Government of the Con
federacy, let me tell you, that you labor under a
profound mistake; whoever regards lightly tha
test oath, and believes it immaterial whether one
can take it or not, is laboring under a delusion.
The admission of members into the present Con
gress, will depend mainly upon the ability of the
members to take the oath required of him—con-
scienciously. The history of each member will
be inquired into; a rigid scrutiny will be observ
ed as to his antecedents. And no matter what
may be the personal merits of a man, his politi-
eal career and character alone will be consulted.
This stem rule may irritate and wound your
pride, but it should not, if indeed you are the
loyal men you profess to be. If you really feel a
reluctance to elect a man who can take this oath,
then is it because you disapprove his loyalty, and
if sustained in this sentiment by your constituents
then you are not entitled to representation in the
councils of the nation. If it be matter ot re
proach to be able to take this severe oath, then de
nounce me, for I can trike it. I am sorry to say
that I know so few who are in my situation. Do
you not wish that all could take it ?
The State of South Carolina has selected for a
Senator a man distinguished for his love of the
Union since the days of nullification, and anoth
er not identified with the revolution. If South
Carolina can act so wisely, how much is to be
expected of Georgia ?
You all profess to love the President and to
sustain his policy. If I may be allowed to com
pare large things to small, let me inquire how it
is that you can forgive Andrew Johnson for ma-
Tltis had the desired effect. The colored man

Thank heaven, I am inured to greater evils than
your displeasure. I have suffered much for my
opinions. I can endure more.
Understand me, I do not complain, and I will
not complain; for I shall have no right to do so
if in the election you should prefer to me some
other citizen of similar sentiments, on account
of superior moral worth or talent—but when,
forgetting the helpless condition of our people,
dependent upon the fevor of the government for
what of liberty they now enjoy—you shall madly
and revengefully choose a man over me promi
nently identified in either a civil or military ca
pacity with the rebel government, I will denounce
the folly and infatuation of the act.
It is "generally understood that you will make
choice of a distinguished gentleman, prominent
for his public services and his acknowledged tal
ents, and, regardless of his earnest remonstrances
as set forth in the letter I will read you, force
upon him, objecting and reluctant as he may be
—this high trust. If you are really his friends,
you will better serve him by foregoing the use of
Lis name. I care not if a man be considered as
pure as an angel, under such circumstances he
cannot escape a suspicion of encouraging the act.
My* attitude may bias mv judgment, but I will
stake my reputation that evil comes of the
deed. But the fiat has gone forth, and it is irre
vocable.
Some profess to believe, that there is little dif
ference as to the status of men, and that all will
be regarded alike. Is it nothing that such as I,
condemning the revolution, and abstaining from
its commencement to its close, from participating
in any public meeting, from casting a vole for
any officer of the prevented hew government, and
from any act volnntarily at war with obligations
to my country—is there, in your judgment, no
difference between such a man, and one who
took office under an organization hostile and at
war with the Government to which his allegiance
was due? If you determine there is not, the
Senate of the United States will reverse your
judgment. Remember that it is of far less con
sequence what may be the standing ol your favor

Senate in regard to him. That body, and not
the people of Georgia, must pass upon his eligi

I have heard that I am censured for having
made a speech on the occasion of raising a na
tional flag at the military head quarters in Augus
ta. I did make the speech—at the solicitation
of Gen. Steedman, a brave and generous man
and my personal friend, to whom I am indebted
for many kindnesses to others, granted as favors
to me. What should I have done—refused the
act of courtesy?—Let me be frank and declare
to you that I never looked upon the flag of my
country, nor listen to the strains of our national
airs, without feeling my cheeks glow, and my
pulse quicken. I sought to promote on the oc
casion referred to, a spirit of kindness and good
feeling between citizens and soldiers. It was a
time ot considerable excitement, and my efforts
failed to please either party, which convinces
me that I was on the right line.
My object has been to convince y*ou of my
general concurrence of opinion with the Presi
dent, and distinctly to impress you with a fixed
conviction of my loyalty to the Government. If
my principles commend me to your suffrage, I
shall rejoice; if they do not, they shall not be
the less my sentiments.
Here Mr. Hill was asked by a gentleman to
state his position in regard to Mr. Davis. Mr.
Hill said:
I am censured for objecting to the late Con
vention, as a Convention, memorializing the
President for the pardon of Jefferson Davis.
Alexander H. Stephens and others. I did object
to such action on the part of the Convention, in
sisting that it was not the appropriate business
of such a body called for the great purpose of re
storing the State to its former relations with the
Government of the United States, and would
have no effect on the mind or action of the Pres
ident, who would necessarily be governed mainly
by motives of public policy. I maintain now
the correctness of my position, and claim that
time has already justified my course.
I have sought to be explicit and frank. I have
concealed fiom you no sentiment of mine. I
invite you now to propose any question to me
that suggest itself. I wish no man to be in doubt
as to my opinions—for lA* reputation for candor
is more to me than the results of to-morrow’s
election. That may conclude my political ca
reer, certain it is, if’defeated, as I anticipate. I
cannot on any account be used afterwards.
Gentlemen, you have heard me with much
patience and close attention; for this, I thank
you. Whatever may be your action, I trust it
may redound to the welfare of the people and
the best interests of the State.
Washington, Then and Now.
The lively correspondent of the Nashville
Republican, gossiping about the past and present
of the Federal city, says:
Do you remember the little Alcove at Will
ards ? Poor Jeb Stewart, who courted his wife
there christened it the “closet of Cupid.” Hung
with plush and lace, and looking directly in at
the great centre drawing room, and up and down
the long corridor, and out upon the court and the
fountain, it was always a favorite retreat—
“For talking age and whispering lovers made.”
In those old times it was famous. Some of the
greatest men and women of America have flirted
there; and it has been the scene of a thousand
matrimonial engagements. George McClellan
and Nellie Marcy passed their troth beneath that
dimly lighted chandelier. A. P. Hill and Mrs.
McClung the sister of John Morgan began a bit
of badinage which ended in a wedding near that
handsome mirror. Reverdy Johnson and George
E. Badger nsed to pry in on the young couples
and play off their wit at their expense. The
faces of Miss Cass, (Now Madam de Limlmurg.)
of Miss Kellogg, (now Mrs. Gen. Thomas, and
Miss Cutts, (now the widow of the late Stephen
A. Douglas,) were once familiar to the sanctuary.
Barton Key met Theresa Sickles first ou this very
threshold. Fatal rencountre; Both were pure
then—
“And little reeked of the possible future.”
Ten years ago, Linn Boyd and N. P. Banks
messed together, and played whist with their
wives on the centre-table of the Alcove. At that
time Burlingame and Keitt were excellent friends
and prodigious fovorites of the young ladies. In
short 1 might run over an endless list of names,
inspired by the flapping of the lace curtains, for
one of the" windows is open and the warm breeze
steals in, and the play of the fountain which is
trickling out a sweet "low music. I am scribling
at random, and merely allude to the Alcove on
account of the fact that I am at this moment its
sole occupant. I was about to speak of society
at large, and at the present day, and not to write
a history* of Washington life before the war,
with all its old belles and gallants, affaires des
cceur and scandal. But I am nothing, if not
episodical, and with this brief exordium, I pro
ceed—
“With the patter of dancing feet.
And the bird like chatter of voices sweet,
That dazzle the ball room—fill the street.”
Most of the brilliancy of society of the Capital
was contributed by Southern women. The North
never sent her best men to Congress, and there
fore could not be represented by its best women
in the assembly of fashion. In the great com
munities of the North, a first-rate professional
man could make twenty times as much out of
his legitimate pursuit as he could hope to make
by becoming a politician, and he naturally pre
ferred to devote his manhood to the accumula
tion of fortune by the dignified means within his
reach leaving his inferiors to scuffle for the offices.
An able lawyer, an eminent doctor, a brilliant
editor, could not afford to serve the people as a
mere politician. Thus the scramble for honors
was reduced to the second class, and the winners,
with few exceptions, were thoroughly second
class men; too often dishonest men; easy* of
conscience, approachable with money, and dull
of wit.
Just as politics was disreputable in one sec
tion of the Union, it was considered the only
road to feme in the other. The Southern youth
was raised to consider a seat in Congress the
goal of human ambition. No professional man
can amass a fortune in a rural region ot country,
and therefore, not only was the honors ot poli
tics desirable to the Southern lawyer, physician
or editor, but its pay vT"T about as much as he
could make at home. Hence the Sooth sent its
best men to Washington--often its richest men
—aspiring, educated, shrewd experienced incor
ruptible.
A lady coming from Montreal to Portland,
had bought a lore of silk at the former place,
and after entering the can a custom-house officer
asked her if die had anything that required ex
amination. Very innocently die produced her
valise, the said silk lying in her lap all the while,
done up in a coarse brown paper, and asked the
officer to hold that parcel while she exhibited the
contents of the valise. The innocent victim, not
suspecting that common looking parcel of being
an offender, allowed her to go on her way re
joicing.

surreetion without being well assured that he
would be well followed and supported. The dis
patches received announce that the Government
is confident of its power to restore order; never
theless it is impossible to overlook the gravity of
the situation. Madrid, too, has been declared in
a state of siege, though tranquility still prevails
there.”
The Times has the following remarks:
“In principle, we affirm that there can be no-
thing more deplorable than militaiy insurrec
tions ; but feels are facts, and all the considera
tions in the world will not prevent such insurrec
tions from being endemic in Spain, as they were
in ancient times under the Roman emperors.—
They were then the certain sign of universal de
composition. We do not, however, mean to say
that Spain has come to that pass, for we do not
think so; we believe, on the contrary, that she
retains considerable elements of vitality; but this
periodical phenomenon of militaiy risings, which
intervene in the regular course of things with the
pretension to rectify what is wrong, is none the
less a most afflicting spectacle. One of two things
must beeither Spain is not fit for the constitu
tional system, or that system lias been utterly
corrupted and falsified thereby.”
The Monde seems to think that the insurrection
is a just judgment on the Queen of Spain and
her Government for having recognized the new
kingdom of Italy. It says
“What is taking place in Spain proves once
more the inutility ot concessions when they re
late to principles, and are made to the revolution.
The Government of Madrid recognized the king
dom of Italy; the Queeu ratified an act as con
trary to religious traditions as to the policy of the
monarchy, and the Progressists, in order to show
their gratitude, excite a revolt among several reg
iments, and drive the country into the arms of
the House ol Braganza. It is once more Gen.
Prim who is the instigator and chief of the in
surrectional movement.”
The Pays, which is supposed to occasionally
receive intelligence from the Spanish Embassy at
Paris, gives the following version:
“ The conspiracy of the Progressist party has
long ceased to be a secret. It is active, power
ful, and unceasing. A first attempt at a militaiy*
revolt wtis made at Valencia, but failed, and a
subsequent rising at Saragossa met with no bet
ter success. In the present instance the party
had organized its plan on a large scale. A large
number of regiments were to be brougbt by their
chiefs into the revolt, and were to rise simulta
neously on several different points. The Govern
ment was informed of those plans, and a few
days back, in order to defeat the preparations,
changed the garrison of several regiments, and
transferred nine colonels to different corps; these
officers being thus placed at the head of regi
ments to which they were entirely unknown, lost
the influence they* were to exercise in the rising.
Those measures disclosed to the public the fact
that the Government was in presence of a serious
menace. The Progressist chiefs nevertheless
persisted in tlieir project, and on the 3d, at 4
o’clock in the morning, news reached Madrid
that two regiments in garrison at Aranjuez and
Ocana had revolted. At 8 o’clock in the morn
ing, the Council of Ministers, being assembled,
proclaimed the state of siege in Madrid, and the
whole of the province of New Castille. Marshal
O’Donnell and several generals proceeded to the
barracks, where they found the troops perfectly
tranquil. Colonels Heredia and Aldamia start
ed in pursuit of the rebels. At four in the af
ternoon the regiment of Altuera and one of cu-
rassers, with thirty pieces of artillery, arrived
from Alcala. Marshal O’Donnell went to meet
them, to be assured of their fidelity*. They en-

Operations in the money market daring the past week
hare been generally small. The prices in Southern bank-
bills have undergone no change excepting a small decline
in two or three of the more unimportant banks. The de
mand for gold has been moderate, with large amounts

per month was obtained for loans, while not more than 4
to 5 per cent, can now be had for “greenback” loans,

made prisoner at Badajoz. General Pierrad was

a bridge, and fled to the mountains of Cuenca,

the Avenir National, “in the direction of Cuenca,
Gen. Prim seems to aim at occupying the moun
tains in the province of Toledo, where, in the
first place, it is easy for him to defend himself,
and where, also, he can wait to be rejoined by
the regiments who pronounce for him in Madrid
and its neighborhood, as well as those which
may arrive from Andalusia. In this position
Prim would be master of the communications of
the capital, with all the South; where are to be
found the greater number of the regiments which
made the Morocco campaign with him, and
which are still.it is said, devoted to his interests.’’
GENERAL PRIM.
General Prim, Count de Rues, author of this
new pronunciamento, was bom in 1811. He was
for a long time considered as one of the4&hiefe of
the Christinos. The war in the East, in which
he took an active part, on the Danube, the pre
liminaries ofSoledad, when a convention was
drawn up between France, Spain and Eng
land, and Juarez, which put an end to the first
phase of the Mexican expedition, have made him
more especially known in Europe and in Ameri

which goes by the name of “Iberian,” and which
mediates the unity of the whole Peninsula under
the house of Braganza.
prim’s proclamation.
The following proclamation, purporting to have
been issued by Prim, fe secretly circulated in
Madrid and elsewhere:
“We have arrived at the terrible moment in
which revolution is the only resource of the na
tion, and the main duty of honorable men. I am
at the head of considerable military forces, and
a great number of armed countrymen hasten on
all sides to fight under my orders for the cause
of freedom and our fatherland. My banner is
the last manifesto of the Pro^rista Central Com
mittee ; with it in my hand I will fight with my
wonted valor against the government which dis
honors us abroad and ruins us at home, to the point
of making us a laughing stock among foreign na
tions, ami bringing us to the verge of a shame
ful bankruptcy. Soldiers—who have already
fought under my orders—you are aware that I
have never forsaken you, and that if you stand
by me in this enterprise I shall know how to
lead you, first showing you the path to victory,
and next remunerating your endeavors.
WHAT TIIE QUEEN SAID.
On receiving a deputation from the Chamber
of Deputies to present an address, the Queen re
plied that, in spite of the affliction 9lie experi
enced in viewing the sad sight ot a great rebellion
among a portion of the army, it was her great
consolation to see the representatives of the nation
offering her their support and the testimony of
their unanimous loyalty.
A FIGHT AT BARCELONA.
A letter dated at Barcelona on the 9th instant,
confirms the statement that on the previous day
the troops had fired upon the people, and that
three persons were killed and five wounded.
WHAT PRIM SAID TO AN ALCALDE.
One letter says that Prim was marching and
countermarching with the object of tiring out the
troops sent out against him and gaining time.—
At Turancon, a town near Toledo, where Prim
appeared on January 5th, at the head of about
twelve hundred men, he sent for the Alcalde,
and obtained from him fifteen hundred rations,
assuring him at the same time that the whole
country* was abuut to rise, and that he would
shortly march upon Madrid at the head of a
large army, and overthrow the government of the
“oppressor,” O’Dornell. He asked to see the
cure, but the latter refused to come.

Commercial operations during the week ending yester

department of trade, have been on the gradual increase
now that railroad transportation on all the roads is unim
