Palestine, Tex., March 12.—The railroad company has notified Sheriff Davis, iindai affidavit, that the company’s property and rights are being jeopardize*!, and that the county will lie held responsible for all dam age done to the same. The shops, engines, etc*.., are now in charge of the sheriff and his deputies, and freight trains are being sent out under their protection. The strike is lie coining very warm at this point City Mar shal Rogers, who h<is been prominently con nected with this affair, acting as deputy un der Sheriff Davis, received the following ing letter Tuesday, dated Marshall, but post marked Palestine: “Djcaii SiU: It is understood here that your are to come liere and take trams out of this yard for the company, if you attempt any such wo warn you to bring a box along to be buried in or you will l»e buried with'nit a box, for if you attempt moving or guarding trains out of this town you will never live to see the engine out. “Yours truly, “Three Hundred Strikers." j The temper of the strikers here is ugly and i even dangerous Not a single man has given > in and every sign points to serious trouble j ahead.

Dennison, Tax . March 12.—-The strike at Monterey was relic veil of the presence of Sheriff Douglas. He, with an engineer and fireman, took a switch engine from the round j house and proceeded up town. At Main i street about fifty strikers st.*>d oir the t rack. ! The engine stopped and the crow jumped off. | The sheriff read the riot act, which was ! cheered by th "> boys. While this was goiug on, alterations were made in the engine’s ma- i chinery which virtually kiln'd her. Sheriff j Douglass got • off and took the first train home to Sherman. The mayor j was called on to prevent interference with the company’s business. Ho i called the city coun • 1 together and a secret session was hold. If was decided that the city had no right to interfere. The exeeu- j tive commit i ■ say they are prepared to hold ; out six months if necessary. It is reported by the strike leaders that the strike is a cold j blooded scheme of a syndicate to so depreci- j ate the stock of the leased lines that they may ! •‘scoop ’em up” and become the owners when everything will l>e restored to the old basis.

Keokuk, 10., March 12.—There is a large Quaker settlement at Salem, !o Years ago Joseph Hoag was of their number. He was blessed wif i the gift of visions and the Qua kers had great faith iu him. The most worthy of these vision.-, was one hap- ' pening in South Carolina, in IMM. In it was imparted to Joseph Hoag the knowledge of the coinin' war in the i church and that of the rebellion* Mon archial ferm of govemme *r founded on re ligion, and the after * > a e vet to come. Copies of this vision are cvref.iily preserved by most every Quaker family in the vicinity i of Salem. From oue of those copies, which i the owner declares to have been in his pos- ! session for over thirty years, was secured the prophecy. It is as follows: “In the year 1802, probably in the eight op ffinth month, I. was one day alone in the field, and I observed the sun shone clear, but a mist j eclipstxl the brightness of its shining. As 1 j reflected on the .singularity of the event my mind was clothed with silence, the most sol emn I over remember. My faculties were laid low and unusually brought into silence. I said to myself, ‘What can all this means l do not remember ever to have beep sensible j of such feelings, and I hoard a voice from heaven .saying: ‘This that thou sqest, that inns the brightness of the sun, is a sign of a present and coming time. 1 took the fathers of this country from tee land of oppression. I planted them here among forests. 1 Slossed them and sustained them, and i while they were humble I fed them and 1 they became a numerous people, but they J aow have become proud and lifted up j Mid have forgotten me who nourished and I protected them, and are running into every Abomination and evil practice which the old ! country was guilty of, and taking quietude j from the land, mid have suffered a tli\ filing j ipirit to come among them. Lift lip thine j eyes and behold. 1 saw them dividing in ! great haste. This division began in tho j I church on the points of doctrine. It com- ] mended with tho Presbyterian society, went i hrough various religious denominations and Its progress and close wore nearly the same, riiose who divided went off with high heads ind taunting language, and those who kept original sentiments appeared exercised and sorrowful, and when tho dividing spirit mtered the Society of Friends it raged in as aigh a degree as in any I have before de wribed, and, as before, those who separated went with lofty looks and taunting, eensui v ing language; those who kept ancient princi ples retired to themselves. “It next appeared iu the lodges of free nasons, and set tho country in an uproar for ' i long time. Then it entered politics through ! >ut the United States, and it did not stop un | Jl it produced a civil war, and abundnuceof i Mood was shed iu tho course of the combat. The fourteen states lost their power, and slavery was annihilated from their borders. “Then a monarchial government arose and established a nation of religion, and mado all •societies tributary to support its expenses. I was amazed at beholding all this, and 1 heard i voice proclaim, ‘Tli is power shall not al ways stand, but with this power will 1 ebas ;iso my ctfurch until they return to wn? faith 'ulness of their forefftth'-r >. Thou seeat what s coming in thy native land for their iniqui ties and the blood of Africa, tho remembrance >f which has corne up before me. This vision s yet for many days.” The Fatal Havunim. New Orleans, March 12.—The funeral of Win. Casey, a well-to-do Irishman, who had ivod in this city for forty-eight years, has akon place. The cause of his death was a •ancer in the mouth, caused the doctors cor ;ify, by smoking Havanna cigars. The dis ease affected him for several months, and he was a great sufferer, lie was for years an incessant cigar smoker, always using the best imported brands. He was advised some time igo to smoko domestic cigars of a certain urayd in place of the high-priced Cuban arti •le, the former being made by young girls, while it was known that in Havauna some of die most exjxirt cigar-makers wore unclean Chinese. The doctors who attended Mr. Jasey declare there was nothing poisonous in ;he tobacco itself and that his system must have boon inocculated by disease transmitted ity the cigar-maker. This case is analogous kj that of the late Senator Hill, of Ga., und ilso of Gen. Gi ant. Bol*l Swindle™. Cleveland, March 12.—While J A. Vin- Msnt, retired merchant, vvas looking after the tenants of some property, he was mot by a genteel-looking, middle-aged man, who said he wanted to rent a house, and asked Vin ;ent to accompany him home, where he would consult his partner. Upon arriving they were met by another man, who said he was engaged in a lottery scheme, and, with out further ado, he proceeded to shuffle some ftards which he had in his hand. He then turned one of them over and announced to Vincent that he had drawn a prize of $20,- XX). He then said in order to secure his prize Vincent would be required to deposit $20,000 equivalent for the prize. Vincent , who is very feeble-minded, drew his check on the Com mercial National bank for S2O,(XX). Friends jot wind of the scheme and stopjxxl payment M the check.

Fngloml’s Turmoil Germany's i <-atitmle —Notes. London . h 12.—Dispatches received at the v e confirm the reports of the Russia 1 «i.fv auce into Afghanistan. Instead | of withdrawing the troops northward as re I quested by England, tho Russians have pushed further southward, and a collision be tween tiio’D and the Afhagan advance post , may occur at any moment. The Russian government, in *toply to in j quiries by Earl Granville, minister of foreign ' affairs, admits that the advance of the Rus sian column in Afghanistan has not l>eeu checked, but assorts that the movement is ! not intended as a menace to England, that; tho troops have been pushed ; farther south in order that they j may reach a more suitable position for camping purposes. These evasive state ments from St. Petersburg are lcolfod upon in diplomatic circles in London as bare ; faced attempts to gain time. All confidence j appears to be destroyed by tho latest Russian i dispatches, and war is now looked upon as ; ! certain. The most active military preparar j tions are in progress both in Ei gland and | j India, and t roops are being hurrh d forward J j by both sides with a haste which leaves no i room for doubt as to tho critical turn which negotiations have taken in the | past twenty-four hours. It is rumored in I some quarters that parleying between England and Russia has already ceased, and that nothing remains now but war. As a re sult of the startling war nows, nearly all securities show a decline. Consols have fallen one per cent, and Russian bonds two l>or cent. Germany and Kurland. Berlin, March 12.—Count Herbert Bis marck, \\ no was sent ou a special niission to Granville for the purpose of settling disputes between Germany and England, growing out of the respective claims totheOamerooiis, has returned to Berlin. He was closeted for some time with Lis father, the chancellor, and oilier memb ; s of tho German ministry. The count'; mission has been successful beyond the widest expectations, and diplomatic cir cles are all agog at tho brilliant maimer in which the young diplomat carried out tho in- Htructions given him, and tho successful and highly favorable concessions arrived at. As a result of tho conference with Granville, England conceded to Germany the part of Bota, and abandons all claims to the terri tory extending from said port to the right bank of Vis Del Ray bay. Germany also secures the whole cauieroous, with the ex ception of Victoria, to which place she bad already wired England’s claim was never questioned. England agrees to maintain neutrality In tlie territory lying between tho Rio Del Ray and Nayboosa, and iu no way disturb the native rights thereto. Germany, on her part, concedes territory lying be tween Lugos and Rio Del Ray to England. Vacancy Filled. London, March 12.

Madrid, March 12.—An attempt to intro duce cigar manufacturing machines into some of the largo factories resulted in a se rious riot. Five thousand female cigar lakers struck work and made so violent a demonstration that it was found necessary to call out the police to preserve the peace. The female strikers, however, attacked the po lice. Besides pelting them with stones, they used knives freely. Over twenty policemen are dangerously wounded. The rioters finally drove tlie police from the ground, and the military were .summoned to quell tho dis turbance. A New Taper.

It will be under the editorial management of Mr. Sanial, corres ponding secretary of the association of American economists, with the assistance of Dr. lid ward Young and other well known writers of Washington and New York.
