HAVAXA, December 20.-Advices from Chili and Pera cf a late date state that the Supreme Court Judges in Bogata were suspected of complicity in the Marqueras treason, but tho Senato acquitted them. Prado, President of Peru, has gained another victory over the rebels. An insurrection took place in the capital of Yucatan on tho 10t!i inst., occasioned by some ex-imperialists whe managed to arouse the people and garrison to rise against the local authorities. The rd&ir was a bloodless one, although Governor Capeda h?.d to take flight. The rebels proclaimed that thc.\ obeyed Juarez. They mide noisy demonstrations in front of the American Consulate. Affairs In Alabama. MONTGOMERY, December 21-P. M.-The Colum? bus (Ga.) Enquirer says that tho trial of the negro conspirator and revolutionist, George Shorter, at Union Springs, Alabama., resulted in his convic? tion and sentence to jail for six months. On the trial material facts heretofore published about his organization of a negro government in Bullock county wer3 elicited. The report thal he claims to have been sent to do this work by Radicals in the Northwestern States is confirmed. But for thc timely discovery of this secret organization, and the action and energetic measures adopted to break it up, it would doubtless have bee i e- tended among the ignorant blacks and produced a great deal of mischief. It was reported in Union Sprinp early yesterday morning that Shortor had broke n out of jail tho ni^ht before and escapod. Whother he effected bis escape unaided, or was assisted by negroes belonging to his so-called government, we have not learned. The negroes generally, as heretofore stated, were much incensed against him. The Greenville (Ala.) Advocate says that tho ne? gro who a few daya ago shot a woman because she refused to marry him, was apprehended yesterday by several of his own color, who had sworn ven? geance against him for the blick and wicked deed. He was armed and showed li,-ht. and it was not until after he was severely wounded by a gunshot, which will in all probability prove fatal, that be was made prisoner. Sentence of Mayor Horton, of Mobile. MOBILE, ALA., December 21-P. M.-Major Hor? ton was sentenced by Judge Bustee.l to-day. The Judge said : Mr. Horton, by a jury of your peers, acquaintances, and townsmen, selected by your? self to form an entire panel, you have been tried upon an indictment by the grand jury, and found guilty of offences laid to your charge. Jt now be? comes my duty to pronounce the sentence of tho law upon your conviction. The indictment con? tains two counts, one for au occurrence on tho 8th of August, the other on tho 11th o? August, 18C7. Each of these transactions embrace offences of | fort lbly sending citizens out of tie State into ex? ile. The government might have additional counts embracing other charges against you for violation of tho civil rights statute, but tho in? dictment is framed upon these two. On this con? viction you might bc sent to thc Slate prison for two years and lined two thousand dollars in the discretion of this court. Its discretion upon this behalf must be exercised in view of its responsi? bilities to God and man. I am of the opinion that the ends of public justice and the rights of citi? zens hive been vindicated in your conviction, and that to imprison you would not add to its moral effect. The sentence of the court is that you pay a fine of two hundred and fifty dollars. A short time alter the adjournment of the court Major Horton paid the fine, and was dischai Kcd from custodv. The Georgia Convention. ATLANTA, December 22.-The commissioner sent to Milledgeville by the convention, to dr*w $40.000 from the State Treasury to pay its exponeos, has returned and reports no moneys.

As it wa.: conceded that Mr. Johnson would not approve thc bill. [I waa believed he would of course submit his veto to Congress before adjournment for the holidays.

A distinguished officer of General tirants Staff has just brought himself into an unpleasant tele? graphic and newspaper notoriety by his failure to appear on tho occasion appointed for his wedding to a fashionable lady of Washington. Tho fact that General Grant appeared in full regimentals at tue place where tho marriage wr.s to bc celebrated, and that a large assemblage of distinguished guests were present to witness the happy event, helped to increase the excitement which his con? duct occasioned. Tho story is thus told b\ the Washington correspondent of the Now York Tribune : The; great topic of conversation iu Wash? ington to-night, to thc exclusion of everything else m politics, finance, reconstruction, ?r im? peachment, is thc disappointment of a fasionabie young lady who was io have been wedded this morning in the pres mee of the creme dc la creme of Washington society, to no less a persouago than the distinguished' Col. Parker of Gen. Gr...;:'? staff. Miss .Minnie Sackctt, tho lady tbr:-, unpleas? antly brought beforo the public ie ono of the most beautiful wonic i in the District, a bright blonde, with dark brown bair, and but nineteen years of age. It is stated that Col. Parker bas been pav? ing attentions to Miss Sackett for a period extend? ing over several months, and would have been married long ago had it not been for thc objections of Miss Sacket t's friends. But finally the happy morn was fixed, se veral hundred invitations were IS Bued about ten days ago to the friends and acquain? tances ot both pernea, and to-day at the Church of UicEpiiiphany, on G-si., between Thirteenth and Fourteenth, vvhere the event was io have taken place was filled by an anxious throng who vainly waited and w ondered at tho delay. Gen. Grant was to have given away :hc bride to bia Aid. and arrayed in bis Gene? ral's aidform to do honor to the occasion, be left tho Wai* Dopartmot at an carly hour this mor'ii.'i/, accompuuied by the uieuibois of bis atafT. tie ar? rived UT timo to witness the posting of a buliotin ou the church to the effect that the ceremony for some reason was deferred to another day. Then aroze thc buzz of eager inquires ; but "i'lio Colo uei is not here" was th': only satisfactory answer that any one could gire. Gen. Grant was in com? plete ignorance of tho Colonel's movements, and appeared considerably annoyed at hi i non-appear? ance ; but he- soothed his ruffled feelings, with a segar. Soiso one suggested that Purlror waa ?doU, but his intimate fri?nos laughed ut tho .a^?, ior Parker mas never sick in his life. It may not bo generally known that Colonel Parker is a full blooded Indian, a near relative to tho famous Red Jacket, and of the present Chief of the six uatious of Cherokees. He ns about live feet ten inches in height, of strong, niardv build, and of pure Indian complexion. Ho served through the war on Gen. Grant s staff, and his position in the army is that of First-Lieutenant iu tue Second Regiment of Cavalry, transferred to staff duty with the brevet rank of Colonel. Search was made for tho missing one everywhere, and the J?test rumor is to the effect that he lett town a few days ago, promising lo be back in tho city this morning. His trip ?as knowu only to a few friends, and they were left in ignoiance of his destination. The'gossips are enjoving a delightful time over tue aflair, and the latest story is that he is mdisp^?d, and that tho happy event will take place in the courao ol' a fow weeks. The sequel of this strange affair is thus given, a ilay later, by the s tine narrator : Colonel Parker has been found. His explana? tion of his recent mysterious disappearance upon the ovc of his marriage will not bo without interest to your readers. Ir is this. He was to havo boen married ou Tuesday morning. On the Saturday evening previous he called at General Grant's reci Jeuce and borrowed a military scarf. He was down town a wlnlo afterward, and then went off alone to take a walk, m (he course of it he met au Indian ot tho Six Nations, of which confederation Colonel Parker ls chief. The Indian took him to a rn om, pave him a glass Oi r,iuo. and sat down to converso upon the important business which he wishod to seo him about. In a short time Colonel Parker began to feel drowsy, and concluded ho would lie dowu on tho bod a moment. Ho di>l so, and fell into a deep sloop. Whon he awoke, it seemed very late at night, but whether it wns the same night or another he could not tell. Tho Indian was sit? ting by the bedside gravely and patiently. Colo? nel Parker asked a few questions natural to the circumstances of tho case, and the Indian said : "You have been very sick. Here is some medicine the- doctor leit for you." Tue patient took tho medicine, foll asleep again, slept comfortably un? til Wednesday morning, and then woke up, a mat? ter of twenty-four hours too lalo for tho weddin?. The Indian was gone. Colonel Parker's friends think the Six Nations aro opposed to his marry? ing a white lady, and that they tont au envoy to take care th?t the wcddiug sho'd-l r.ot tako place, or t? even dopiivs bim ot his life. A brido ch sen for him irom muong nie subjects, the Six Nation?, Blands ready to marry him, and thc trinos prefer that ho should tako her, and remain moro closely allied to bas people than ho would bo ii lie took a wiio from another race. Colonel Parker's statement I have given without addition or em? bellishment. General Grant lias tfkon entire charge of the matter now, beth because tho inter? rupted wedding had been appointed to come off under his auspices, and becaucc Colonel Parker K-lon?>s on Ins staff. He will institute a strict in? vestigation of tho affair to the end that Colonel Parkor may establish bis blamelessness if he can, Ot suffer dismissal aud disgrace if ho fails. Until his judgment is passed, public opinion should sleep. Things IVevr York.

THOMAS, W. i" November 18,18G7. J S;R : I bc? to inform tho Department of an ( ira ordinary occurrence, iroducing much disasti which took place in thu harbor yesterday aft? noon. The weather was clear, though extreme bot-barometer 80. While writing in my cabi about !d0 P. M.. my attention was called bj sudden tremor Berang thc ship, increasing in i tenuity, accompanied by a* sound resembling t. grinding of a vessel upon a rough bottom, tin gradually subsiding until it teased, tho whole hu lng about two minutes. 1 recognized it, imm diately as au earthquake, and looking toward tl town saw, from the dust and confusion, there hi been destruction anions its building. Concludir it was now over, I resumed my occupation, ar had been seated about ton minutes when the r port was brought to me thal thc sea oataido tl harbor had risen and was coming in a huge vc ?une, ns if to engulf us all. I went on dock", ar hero the extraordinary spectacle of a heavy wall i sea, some twenty feet in height, apparently di taut about thieu miles, was coming toward li harbor with terrible power. Tho second nnciir was immediately dropped, and men were sent 1 the holm, which was all we could do; and then w stood to meet it as ii advanced with a skinnis Line of tumultuous rollers in irout. 1 saw wit some comfort that it cuno from about S. W., and would consequently strike thc entrance ( tho harbor in an oblique direction. With a fee ingof awo we awaited its arrival. It caine rusl ing on, tumbling over tho rocks that formed th entrance, carrying everything before it. A ama steamer and si ?ling vessel that were trying to gc in were at once ongnlpbed, and never again seer and the vessels at anchor near tho entrance wer lifted from their moorings and curried on th rocks to leeward. R.eeiviug this check, tho hear rollers swept into the harbor. Thc Do Soto, whici was anchored outside of us, and was lying ratho broadside to, was carried from her" mooring both chains snapping, and sn.- w.-.a thrown upo tho iron piles of a new wharf 'atclv constructed Thc next roller swept her off into deep wate aeain, and soon shu male signals that she wa leaking. In the Meanwhile, however, we hadrisei from thc rollers, which wc mot nearly stem on encountering three in succession, the anchors am chains holding on bravely. Tho sea was now rush ing in and receding wi?li great violence. Th sunkou wrecks were rising; tho shipping in th harbor, swept from their moorings, worb comin; into us every few minutes, and the small craft il shoro were lilted up and thrown into tho street and left stranded. Along tho water-fronts boat: were capsized, and iu the water wore men seen ii all directions swimming for their lives. At las thc water in the bay subsided into a 6ort of whirl pool, and so soon as we could willi any propriety man our boats they wcro sent to the" rescue o tho drowning men." devrai were picked up, oin already dead. Thc Do Sjto was now adrift, whirl ing about thc harbor, her pumps goin^, nDd got ting up her steam. As rapidly as possible ] went on board of her, and found abo i;ould keep herself freo, find with her ulcOii up and twe kedgos down, she would romain in safety for thc night. Constant shocks of earthquake "occurrcc every t'.u or fifteen minutes, and so continued witt moro or lc63 severity through tho night, and as 1 am now writing this is still going on. Tho damage on Bhoro has been far moro ruinous to tho mer? chants tb.au that occasioned by tho Lite hurricane, The first heavy rolls went up into tho towu swamp? ing tho stores, which were mostly on the bay point, Hosting out and finally stranding theil goods in unheard-of directions. Tue panic that acizod the inhabitants was painful-rushing up tho hillside, crying for mercy, and listening to no at? tempts to pacify tho.ii. As I went ashore in thc evening I found that all tho etonc dwellings were abandoned, and their owners iu the streets, or in the wooden buildings of their friends, the alarm being still kept np by thc constant shocks thal were st?l occurring. This morning the shocks are less frequent, and tho bay perfectly quiet. Tho Eiitrlish mail atoamer which had lately arrived, and was coaling In tho bayon the other sido of tho i arbor, was a3 near being lost as possible. Hor passengers speak of baring felt the shock ai wc Did, and, looking behind men. saw a small islet int.teirrear waa cleft i?i twain, and llamo and smoke issuing from the tissure. Shortly after? ward the s'a arose and came well nigh carrying them down; their cables parted, but they were thrown, most fortunately, uuder a lee, which plac? ed them iu comparative safety. The passengers, all but three females ?rho were lost in tho surf, roached thc shore. Just n JW a vessel has arrived from Santa Cruz, bringing un officer of fin? Monongahela, who brought in a verbal message from Commodore Dorn moflsvioient at trial island- that t ie sea had risen and thrown his vessel high and dry on the beach, and that three of ids men who were in the boats alongside were drowned. I leave this o\. - ning to seo what assistance I can render him. T : i damago sustained by this ship is not maioriai. Y erv respectfully," vour obedient servant, 'JOSEPH L.

A letter from Washington Hays: A paper is being prepared for presentation to the Co ,; mit tee of Ways and Means in which the statistics of the manufacture of whiskey will bo fully sot forth. Thia examination will show thc great disproportion between tho producing capa? cities of the distilleries and the consumption, a disparity which exist iu no other branch of manu? factures'. The Tice metre adopted last Spring by tho government is now being nppliod to the distil? leries in New York. Its eliect is to stop tho production. Under tho order compelling thc distilleries to usc this metre, some seven hundred applications wer: registered, and the capacity, as stated by the. applicants themselves, made an aggregate of 500,28J gallons per diem of twenty-f -ur boura, or a grand total of I52.78ri.700 yalluna per year of three hundred working days. Thc tax beiiig two dollars per gallon, tho govern? ment should have derived $3d6,573,400 last year, whereas bul $28,000,1)0,), or IC?S than ten lier cent., when received by Commissioner Rollins. From offi? cial and unofficial sources.it is estimated that there aro over three thousand distilleries in tho United Slates actually recorded, of which two thousand and fourteen distill grain and molasses, and the balance fruit juices, lt is supposed the government loses in au equal proportion on all these three thousand distilleries, with the known loss on the first mentioned seven hundred. - -A Mr. George H.

THE PHILADELPHIA UNIVERSITY OE MEDICINE AND SURGERY was organized in 1848. Cbarterod by tho Legislature, February 2C. 18S3. Name changed by a lecidlative enactment to the Eclectic bedicfel col? lege, ol Philadelphia, in 18C0. In li)o3 it purchased the Pennsylvania Medical college, established lu l?tf, and thc Philadelphia Medical Collego, which had previously been merged into the Pennsylvania Medical ''ollegc. In lsG4 it purchased thc Penn Medical Univixsity. Tho Trustees of the separate schools united, petitioned and obtained a special Act of tho Lcpis.uture, consolidating those institutions and changing their names to that of the Philadelphia University of Medicino and Surgery. March 15,18C5. All-these various Acte are publi bed in tho statutes of Pennsylvania. The cost of the I uUding and museum was over one hundred thousand dollars. It will bo observed that the University, as now organized, is tho legal representative of the four Medical Colleges that Il has absorbed. It is a liberal school of medicine, con? fined to no dogma, nor attached io any medical cliques, but embraces in its teaching everything of value to the' profession. Sessions.-lt has two full sessions each year, commenc? ing on tho 1st of October, and continuing until the 1st of January, as ltd first session, and from the 1st ol January to the 1st ol April, as its second; the two constituting one full course of lectures. It has also a summer session, commencing tho lat April aad continuing until August, lor Ibo preparatory branches, such as Latin, Greek, Mathematics, Botany, Zoology. Chemistry, Anatomy Physiology, etc. Ticket/.-Tickets to the full course of lectures $120. or SCO for each session. For thc summer or preparatory course $25. Grauditting fee $10. To aid young men of moderate means, the University has issued five Hundred scholarships, which are Bold to first-courso students tor S75. and to second-course students and clergymen for $50, each constituting the holdot a life member, with Hie perpetual privileges ol' thc lectures, and all the teachings of tho school. The only additional fees are a y early dis? secting und matriculating ticket, each of which ls 85. The Advantages ot Scho'arships.-The student holding a scholarship can enter the CoUega at any time during the year, attend as long os he chooses, and re-enter the basti tutinu os frequently as do.ired. It requires no previous reading or study to enter tho University on scholarships, hence, all private tuition fees arc saved. St; '?nts, by holding scholarsoipa, can prosecute otL r bns.ness a part of the time. Tho candidato for graduation can present himself at any time, and receive his denreo as soon as qua li tie J. In case a stu .ont should hold scholarship and not be able to attend lectures, it can ba transferred to another, thus preventing any loss. Pareui-', guardians or friends of students wishing to purchob j scholarship lor them a year or more bet?re their attendance at tue University, ean secure them by advancing one-half the price and paying thc balance when thc student enters. Physicians and benevolent mon can bestow great benefit apon poor young men by presenting them a scholarship, and thus enabling them to ootaln an honorable profession. The Faculty embraces seventeen eminent physicians and surgeons. Tho University has associated vkth it s largo hospital chine, whoto every lorin of mcdissl and surgical disease is operated on and treated in the pres? ence of the class.
