SUCCESSFUL SEARCH FOB THE MIS8INO FRENCH MAN-OF-WAR-DESTRUCTION OF THE CELESTIAL EMPIRE BT MOHAMMEDAN BEBELS PREDICTED - ANOTHER MISSION DIFFICULTY-THE UNTIED STATES TREATY OF 1868 WITH CHINA-MAR? RIAGE OF THE MIKADO-DIFFICULTY AT BIOTA SEVERAL STREETS SET ON FIRE-THE MIKADO FLEES TO OSAKA. BAN FRANCISCO, Maroh 27.-The steamer Oreat Republic arrived to-night, with Hong Kong dates to February 19th and Yokohama dates to Maroh 4th. The steamer Hermann was wrecked Feb? ruary 13th on an unknown reef outside of the harbor of Yokohama. Two hundred and seventy lives were lost. The vessel was a total loss, nothing whatever being saved.. Chase, the fiist officer, and a white waiter, were amoDg the lost. The Herminn was u alor a Japanese charter, with four hundred passengers for a . port near Hokodadi. The British gunboat Algerine bad returned to Hong Kong from an unsuccessful search for the missing French man-of-war Lemonge, which loft Saigow the first of November, and the load of which is now 1 joked upon as certain. Catholio prouts from the North report the Mohammedan rebela in strong force on the road to Pekin, and predict the fall ot tho Celes? tial Empire within a year. A further missionary difficulty had occurred at Foo Chow, and the assistance of a British gunboat waa called for. Placarda were posted about the city calling upon tbe city to rise and exterminate all foreigners. An English fleet of three gunboat? destroyed two villages near Swatotv, on account of oat rages by Chinese on the crew of the gunboat. Cockchafer. The Washington treaty of 1868, between China and the United States, had been re? ceived at Shanghai, and only awaited a fitting opportunity of delivery to Prince King at Pekin. A meeting of tho merohants at Foo Chow, respecting the tea difficulties, resulted in the issuing of a proclamation by the Viceroy, in concert with, a trade committee against the fraudulent conduct of the tea men in the false packing of cargoes. Intelligence from Japan is meagre. Admi? ral Ennomata was strongly fortifying his po? sition near Volcano Bay, intending to fight it out, unless the Mikado complies with the de? mands of ti e exiled Kevas that they shall re? tain the island of Yesso, and the late Tycoon be sent as their ruler. The ram Stonewall left Yokohama, Maroh 8d, for Yeddo, to be immediately transferred to the Japanese Government. The Mikado arrived at Kiota February 3d, sud was married on the 9th. A difficulty occurred at Kiota between the followers of Satsuma and Choisa. It was re? ported that several streets were set on fire and the flames reached the pal ice of the Mikado, who fled to Osaka. The reported assassina? tion of the Governor of O jaka originated in the fact that a high official was murdered there. Admiral Eanomato celebrated the event of his taking entire possession of the Island of Yesso by firing a salute of one hundred and one guns from the fleet and batteries on shore. He notified All the Consuls of the formation of a provision? al government and appointment of the neces? sary permanent officers of the principal depart? ments. His foross are rapidly increasing, and it would be no easy matter for the Mikado to subdue him and retake the island. CUBAN AFFAIRS.

[Prom the Tribune of Saturday.] The Ritualistic seotion of the Episcopal Church vies with the Roman communion in its rigid observance of the solemnities of Good Friday. The casual and uninitiated visitor to St. Alban's would sc ireoly have recognized the interior ot that little church had be been pre? sent at the services which were held in it yes? terday. The general appearance of the chan? cel and sanctuary was of that sombre charac? ter befit tine so solemn an occasion, and was certainly creditable to the good taste of those to whom the arrangement was entrusted. The entire reredos was oovered with black drapery, on the centre of which a plain violet silk crosj was worked with great effect. The hghtB of the last window were blooked out and oovered with black stuff, and this, shutting out the light, threw a suitable gloom over the sanctuary. Long festoons of black drapery wore also hung from all the cross beams of the chancel and roof. The latter was vested in a plain black frontal, the nails and crown of thorns being embroidered in white in the centre. The altar cross, the altar lights, flower vases, tapers t icks and branches ware all removed from the altar shelf. The enture pulpit, the lectern, faldstool and choir stalls wert* also appropriately draped in black. The congregation began to arrive early, and by the hour of service the benches in the body of the ohuroh were crowded with worshippers, whose devotional demeanor was most marked, and must have been very gatity iiiif io r atuer Morrill, the rector, whose efforts, in spite of adverse influences, to infuso Catholicism in the Episcopal Church, have been unceasing, and would rather seem to gather strength from opposition. At 9 A. M. the procession entered the ohuroh in a silence which contrasted strangely with the joyous hymns which they generally sinjg as they slow? ly wend their way to their Beats in the chancel -Father Morrill wearing a magnificent block robe, the ci oas on ihe back of which, the or phreys and the morse wein of very rich silver diapered work. Father Noyes sang the Office and the Litany. Father Mines reading tbe lessons. The service of tbe Reproaches was then sun cr by the choir, the three priests and the acolytes standing before the altar. The Mia ?a Sicca was read by Father Mon ill, after whioh Father Noyes proceeded to the pulpit and delivered a very earnest and eloquent ad? dress on the "Journey to Calvary." At half past 12 P. M., Father Morrill proceeded to the pulpit, and the service of the Three Hoar's Agony commenced. Taking the seven last words uttered by tbe Saviour on the cress separately, he gave an address of about a quar? ter of an hour on each of them. A prayer was then offered, followed for a time by private meditation, amid the moat profound silence. A hymn was sung between each addi caa. This service was of the moat impressive character, and was most devoutly snared in by tho con? gregation. Evensong wu ?J sung by Father Noyes at 8 P. M., the sermon being preached by Father Mines, on the offoring up of Isaac as a type of the Saviour. HORRIBLE MURDKR.-On last Thursday, the body ot a wh to man was found iu a thioket, a jove Elliott's old milt, about three miles from town, whiob, npon examination, waa found to be Barwell Hilton. Tho deceased was from; Lancaster, Bonita Carolina, and, nt tbe time of hui death, twas employed at the mill., lt is supposed he was killed with an axo, in the house, and the bo iy taken out for conceal? ment. The object of the foul deed was to ?et hiajpioncy and clothes. He bad about Lim EOmtfltty-two dollars in silver and gioenbaoks. The top of his head was knocked off. and seve? ral holes through his bod*, made by a pistol or gun. He was alone at the time the murder waa committed. One negro boy hos been commit, od to jail aa either pi ino pal Or acces? sory, and the officers of the law are in pursuit of other negroes, who have fled, probably to South Carolina.-Charlotte (N. U.) Times. -The famous Monthyon Priaa of Virtue will this year be bestowed in Franco upon a yonug governess, Who, With astonishing se.f-Abnega? tion, supported out of her scanty wages and tho proceeds ot her nocturnal toils as a waiter for the pres?, a stop-mother, who, during ber childhood, had treated lier with extremo cru? el tv. The report of tho committee which awards the Monthyon Prise of Virtue says in regard to this remarkable young lady: "Snob an example of self-abnegation has never be? fore been brought te our notice, and never be? lora have we recommended a candidato for the reward of virtue with more heartfelt satisfaction and profound emotion than this angoho crea turo." TUE TWO CIVILIZATIONS. Don Platt Contrasta New England and the South-Plain Talk from an Inde? pendent Western Alan. Don Matt, the witty and piain spoken Wash? ington correspondent of tho Oinoinnati Com mero'al, recently alluded, in one of bis letters, to the strong love of home that prevails at the South, aa forming the basis of much that bo regards as admirable iu thc Southern charac? ter. For this he was bitterly attacked by the Cincinnati Gazette. From tho spirited re? joinder of Don Piatt we make s orne extraots : THE TWO CIVILIZATIONS. A kind friend eent me the compliment of a column clipped from somo issue of the Gazette, in which tho loading editor of that solem a ola organ takes to pieces a part of my-Arlington lotter. I wish ho had not done it. Like the famous coon, I would have come down had bo given me a chance. I was ready to admit that I was under "stress of composition," and gave forth * 'the froth of a dull imagination," alter cudgeling "to bring forth a sentiment." There is so much delioate poetio fancy in the columns of this venerable organ-there is suoh a quan? tity of tender, touching sentiment in tho soul of this great financier, that I hasten to acknow? ledge my master, and beg forgiveness for the sin of attempting sentiment on the heights of Arlington. 1 say again, "An' I thought he had been valiant, and so cunning in fence"-by Jove, had I known that he would even conde? scend to read my poor stuff, I would have cut the sentiment, and given him some solid fig? ures, on whioh to feast bis statistical s jul. Nay, I would have gone further, and confess? ed that the Yankee love of locality surpassed in strength all other love known lo humwity. I would have ceased to indulge in that impious belief, once my favorite, that, had Adam sod Eve been Yankees, they would not have waited for the Lord to expel them from the Garden of Eden, but would bava emigrated long before, and gone to speculating in wild lands. 1 would have sworn that the love of home was a great love m Mew England, and found expression in the quiet repose of (he house nola, that was without parallel in the annals of hu? manity. I would have denied that it was com? mon for children to quarrel over the support of the aged parent, or that the aged parent ever charged the dear children a weekly stipend for boara. I would have repudiated with indigna? tion the oharge that the calendar bf' horrible crimes instigated by a love of money shown by New England, is heavier than that of any other civilized people known to the world. I would have shut my eyes to the matrimonial infideli? ties and divorces, that make that Yankee com? munity, called Chicago, BO famous. I would have sworn that the love of the homestead was BO intense, that it passed down from genera? tion to generation of tender Yankees, who would die in cold blood rather than part with a foot of the loved locality, for a Blight advance. I would have sworn to this, and more, if I could have thought of it, rather than be stretched in torture along the leaded length of a column in this ancient journal. I could have admitted much if not all of Ibis, and yet maintained what 1 meant to as? sert. I had no idea of running a comparison between the moral oondition of tho North and that of tho Booth. A man may be os pure and upright as Charles Sumner, and yet have no love of homo or attachment for the locality home has mide sacred. He may be a wicked man, and yet bo attached to the little sur ionndings made dear by feelings we hold in common with tho brute creation. The Arab in his tent may ba as good a creature, m a moral point of view, as the SW?BS peasant in his cottage. What I endeavored to say in my letter was that the love of home existed at the South in a way unknown to New sugiuud. i never beard thia disputed before. Aud in this love of home I find tuc foundation for a batter civilization than one based on force, pride or property. The very illustrations off *-red by the editor prove the correctness of my position. A mau may adorn his dwelling wah all that art and taste can supply, and yet sell the bouse to stringers without a pang of regret. Paintings and statuary and architecture may make it valuable without making it precious. The faot that m our little town we have made our fight with the world, that there th3 wife loved, behoved in and trusted, and the dear children were born, or grew up and sickened and died, make it and all its surrounding dear to us beyond tho mere valuation in money. I helped to barn houses in the Shenandoah Val? ley that were on farms held by the same fami? lies since the days of the colony. Our New England friends would have snapped their fingers at the loss, for the value m money was small; but the people of the valley fought to the death for those homes, because they were homes. Of course, my friend will sneer at this, and call it another gush of sentiment, gotten up to order. It is common to do so, with people who. not feeling it, fail to understand and ap? preciate. Nor is bis reference to emigration any hap? pier. A Ne ? Englander sells out to strangers, an 1 seeks new lanas, from a wish to better his condition, in a pecuniary way. The Sou hem? er leaves his nome, as a son goes but into the world, leaving the old homestead in the keep? ing of the family, ana cherishes its memory with life. And in this way the South has come to be one great family. And Virginia seemed to reaoh out and embrace the vast territory suoh emigration had conquered. This is not the civilization of New England. A man there does not bave a love for his h om?-but as the learned editor tells us, with su3h charming naivete, he has a pride in it. He adorns it with beautiful things, and then sells to the highest bidoer. Tho learned editor, who never gushes, differs from me only in the facts he is pleased to question. We both believe, I presume, that the true definition of patriotism is a love of family widened to embra ae a community we call country. A civilization based on this is the better civilization. We cannot base it on pride, nor a sense of possession, DOT upon property, and have the true 'thing; and the evils of the one and the good of the other runs through all departments. A distinguished statesman, lately called to publio life, after an absence of twelve years, said to me, not long since : '.Those Southern fellows were very unreas? onable and troublesome, but they would not steal." The government now is run on stealings, and fraud rots it? foundaitons. The Southern soldiers marched without pay, and fought with poor food, and slept without tents, and sometimes without blankets. * Every soldier of the government cost us a million, through the frauds of contractors and the stealings of officials. We build on property, and take pride in dis? play. We are blessed with a civiliza ion that makes bur government a vast machine to crush the poor and build up the nob. The able edi? tor, day after day, deplores this state if affairs, and calls aloud for reformation. But then be does not gush, he has no sentiment. Cool as a dog's nose, be rebukes those who feel sad to weeping; and, with tho cheap wit of a good memory for Dickens, laughs to scorn the mourners. I do not propose being driven, in my differ? ence,' to extremes. I agree with the Gazette, that there is much in New England civilization to be pioud of, and that it was very pretty, in one out of a thousand at the South, t J visit fashionable watering-places at the North in summer. I wish the t?o th had a better knowl? edge of agriculture. New England has no ?od of villas, built after Dawning, that aro splen? did show places, and a vast number of churches, academies, lyoeums, libraries; and it has Charles Sumner, and bad Daniel Webster; and the poor South was cursed with slavery; and so we have pride in Her, England, and in duty bound should be ashamed ot the South. Never? theless, there waa a love of family and a love ot nome that mora than balanced the account, and gave, in fact, tue better civilization of the two. Stitt, keeping in view that I am not called upon to consider the difference, in morality, between tho two sections, but as an illustra? tion of the civilisation of one, f ven .ure to call attention to a little book before- me, by Profes? sor Storer, of Boston, in whioh he tells us that the love of offspring in New England is such that the land ia being depopulated of Yankees through the wholesale murder of the innocents ; and to certain statistics furnished by the Society Of Social Science, that go to prove that the bornes of New England are rap? idly passing" into the bands of foreigners. I leaveymy sarcastic friend to settle these ug.y results of New England civilization with his neighbors. ?-ThroB colored women have government clerks h pa in Washington.

In regard to the Piesidcnt's opinion of tho Senate amendment to tho Tenure-of-ofiice law, lately rejected by the House, tho Washington correspondent of the Now York Post Bays : Three days ago I telegraphed, upon the au? thority ota prominent senator, that tho amend? ment a? passed by tho Hon iv to was Ba;isfaotory to President Gram.. Now 1 have reason to believe that tho senator misapprehended Graut's exact remarks. Tho amendment is not satisfactory to General Grant, unless it is found to bo impossible to obtain a total repeal of the bill. President Grant does not consider tho amended bill as objectionable as tho origi? nal bill, as has been said, but still there are many leatures in it which ho does not approve, and which in his judgment ought not tobo there. Even should the House reconsider fue action of Friday, and agree to tho Senate amendment, it is in no wiso certain that the Presiden o will t hen make such wholesale remo? vals as leading: Republicans desire. Your cor? respondent f.els fully satisfied that tho Sonate will not agree to any fnrtber concessions or modifications of tho bill, nor is there any dis? position to yield tho principle contained in it. A Government Donation forfthe Educa? tion of the Colored lineo of Bonth Car? olina Repudiated. A Washington telegram to the New York Herald says : J ho presiding officer of the Southern Asso? ciation for tho odusation of the colored raae in South Carolina a tew day a ago wrote to the Secretary of the Treasu-y requosting that the balance of money duo the government for the purchase ol' the United States Marine Hospital it Charleston, S. C., for au educational institu? tion, bo remitted. About a year ago tbe Trea? sury Department agreod to sell tho Marino Hospital for the purpose mentioned for $9000, to be paid in instalments, and $1500 of the money was paid over then. Although the time when the second instalment should be paid has been once or twice de? ferred, not a cent has been paid since the liv the sale was concluded. The Treasuiy authorities replied to the Southern Associa? tion that 'here was no power vested in the Seoretary of the Treasury to make donations of the pnblic property in his charge; that the proceeds of the sale of the Marine Hospital be? longed to -<ick seamen; that tbe best he could clo was to fix upon the lit of JUDO DJXC as the day ou which the balance of the purchase money must be paid, or, failing in that, the building must be surrendered to the govern? ment, in which case the $1500 already paid would be retained as a reasonable rent for the building from the date of its occupation.

IVhat a Prominent Memher of Congress ls my?-1 he Cuban Envoys at Work THO Senate Doubtful on the Q,uestton Men-of-war Sent to the West India Station. The Washington correspondent of the Balti? more Gazette writes under date of the 28th inneint. . Public opinion appoars to bo rapidly gravi? tating to ono o jinfon on the Cuban question, [bis e/ulent that in the weak oondition of Spain and the present symptoms in Cuba, some stronger nation will step in sooner ir later and swallow up this valuable island. A prominent New Englander, a member of one of the bouses of Congress and a great friend of President Grant, who was among the loudest in bis vituperation of England for its left-handed aid to ihe Southern Confederacy during the ! war, was heard to declare himself ia favor of se nd ng a large force to Cuba to aid the insurrectionary party, provided they would agree to annexation to the United Bettes on the. withdrawal of the Spanish authorities, which wonld surely follow. Who cares a fig for Spam ? said he; we can afford to and will do as we please on this oontinent. When we ob? tain Cuba and St. Domingo we will absorb the rest of the West Indies and make them a step? ping stone to the South American territory; at any rata, all the publio men here ure coming around to the opinion held by General Grant on the subject. The Cuban envoys are at work, and are feeling the official pulse with great assiduity. They are all accomplished go at lomen and will use every endeavor to suc? ceed. The House of Representatives ia rife to take any aotion which will be necessary in the premises. Some doubt is expressed, however, an to the course the Senate will pursue in their action on General Banks' resolutions. The Washington Chronicle, of Monday, says: The State Department is in receipt of newe from oar Oonsul-Goneral at Havana, which gives some authentic information regarding the statu J of affairs in Cuba. He states that the prospects of tho insur? gents are fully as (rood as those of the Span? iards, and that both parties are constantly re? ceiving reinforcements-the former from Da? tives and parties in the United States, Ac, and the latter from Spain. He complains that his duties in protecting American citi? zens against the tyrannical exoroieo of power by the Spaniards are increasing, and suggests that the number of vessels in our Wes. locha Squadron eh oui d be increased. Tbe war steamer Seminole, nov at Boston, the Galena, now at Portland, and tbe Jnniata, at Philadelphia, have accordingly been ordered to prepare themselves tor duty in that squad? ron forthwith, lt waa originally intended that several iron clads should be detailed for this duty, bat the above named vessels have been ordered substituting them for economy's sake, as the expense of maim sining iron-clad s ls very heavy. Nevertheless the iron-clada will be sent if necessary. Senor Morale Lenins, the envoy of the insur? rectionary government, baa soneto New York, where he will remain until the middle of tine week. His business there is understood to be io arrange for the sale of bonds of the Pro? visional Government which he represents, and he will doubtless extend his arrangements foi that purpose to Philadelphia and other cit ios of the Union.

Its depressing influences are especially unfavorable to iovaUds, and thousands of persona with feeble oonsHutions, who have borne the win? ter bravely, break down in the first month of spring. The variations of temperature aud cold east winds aro a serious trial to the dyspeptic and bilious, whose symptoms they invariably aggravate. Inter? mittent fever is also rife wherever there is evolvable poison in the water or the soil. To enable the sys? tem to combat tho.-e evils, there is nothing like a good vegetable tonio, and among this ol ass of medi? cines HO j I K I T l R'S SI OMAGH BITTERS stand supremo. Medical men prescribe it in preference to any of the tonia preparation a of the pharm aoopoia. They are aware that the ordinary tinctures and ex? tracts are all b sed upon oheap alcohol, which la sur? charged with an acrid essential oil, and absolutely poisonous. 'J hey know, on the other hand, that the rectified essence of the finest rye grown in this country is the sole spirituous ingredient of HOS TETTER'S BITTERS, and that the vegetable me dioiual elements of which li is composed s e of raro efficacy. Hence, lt has the confidence ot physicians, and finds its way into hospitals where no other pro? prietary medicine ia sanctioned. ? A bourse ol th ; BITTERS is espoci?'ly recom? mended to persons ol delicate habits of both sexes, at this season. In the fever and ague district* of the Weat and Kouth, quinine his been almost univer? sal y discarded as a ohelogogue, and this invaluable antidote to malarious disorders ad >ptel in its stead.
