In this way he hopes lo cure the disposi? tion of rival and disappointed f pplication to oppose the confirmation ot thc person nomina? ted. . EUROPE. GREAT POLITIC AL EXCITEMENT IN MADRID-AN OUTBREAK FEARED-A SPANISH NAVAL COM? MISSION TO VISIT THE UNITED STATES TO PUR? CHASE MONITORS. MADRID, April 9. -Thc government is about to send a naval commission to New York to buy monitors for Cuba. The proposition to establish a triumvirate has been abandoned. It met with mr.ay prac? tical objections, the most formidable of which was that any change in the form of administra? tion would toud to delay the settlement of tho financial dificulties of tbe country. MisBIUD, April 9.-Evening.-Much political excitement exists in this city, and apprehen? sions are entertained that the exasperation of party feeling will result in an outbreak. The police and military authorities are taking every precaution to prevent disorder. The appointment of General Cabai ro de Boda to the Captain-Generalship of Cuba has not been finally determined upon by the Provi? sional Government; but should General de Roda bc retaiued in his command io this coun? try, Don Lquirdo will probably succeed Cap? tain-General Dulce. Addition il supplies of artillery and cavalry aro demanded tor tho suppression of thc rebel? lion in Cuba._ JiLOOVY WORK IX HA.YA.XA. HAVANA, April 10.-Leon and Median wcro garroted to-Jay in the presence of a vast crowd. Leon cried "Viva Independencia." The crowd uttered seditious cries and thc guard hied, killing six and eeriously wounding many others. ?PARKS FROM THE WIRES. Tho fire ii thc Nevada gold mines is still raging. A cold snap prevails ai the Nori h. Yester? day it snowed all day at Washing toe. It is feara$ that tho fruit has bjen kiUeJ iu cause quonc2. Tho Virginia Consecutive Stale Contra! Com? mittee, in view of the recent action uf Congress, has called a Stato convention to meet in Rich? mond on tho 2*.h inst. It is staled that thc Conservatives will nominate a candidato for Governor. Tho propeller Thames, from Kew York for Galveston, was burned off Hatteras. Tho cook, threo waiters, a seaman and coal passer are Bupposed to be lost. Tho rest of the crew wero saved. In Eichmond, on Saturday, a man, giviug the name of James Chambers, ?old a bogus draft for $2500, purporting to bc drawn by Me? ium & Co., Ballimore on Duncan, Sborman & Co., New York, to William IL Sutton & Co., brokers. He got tho money and loft the city before thc fraud was discovered, but was ar? rested in Petersburg with half the fund? in his possession. COLUMBIA. Newspaper Changes-The Broad River Brid ge-iv hut tli c Legislature Cost Last Session-The Memoirs of Long? street'? to. JJS -Thc s o n ttl Carolina Pen? itentiary. ?FBOM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT. ] COLOMBIA, 8. C., April 9.-To-day is warm and very windy, clouds of dust sweeping through tho streets, filling everybody's eye** that ventures out. Our little city cannot af? ford a water cart, and we expect to be tor? mented with dirty linen all Bummer. C. P. Pelham will re-establish thc ''South? ern Guardian" by tho first of May. Ii well couducted it certainly ought to succocd, as a good daily is needed. Tho Phoenix bas broken down every paper commenced in opposition to it since thc war, and it would have succumbed itself did it not have tho job of State priming for two years. The bridgo over Broad Biver, about two miles above Columbia, is being rebuilt under the management of Alexander T. Lee, Ksq. It is badly needed, as all tbc crossing from tho Bichland to the Lexington side ba3 been done in flats since he war. Instead of entire gran? ite piers as before, hollow iron columns are fixed by pivots to a granito foundation reaching just to the level of low water. It will be a pretty and economical piece of engineering. A few members of tho Legislature are still to be 6een about the strcete. They say they are afraid to go home, but we thiuk they aro after some berth in the way of census-taking, enrolling militia, ic. The expenses of the Legislature for the last term is put down at about $150,000, exclusive of standard printing. This is tho amount in greeubacks disbursed to members. We are in unison with the public sentiment in saying we have been satiated with war books, especially those written by men of such Btripe as Pollard. However, we here note a work which will be a distinguished exception. Gen? eral E. P. Alexander will soon have ready for the press, "Memoirs of Longstreet's Corps." lt will be a precious record to tho former mom bers of that gallant command and their rela? tives, many of whom wero South Carolinians. The work will contain iu full thc official state? ment of every engagement, and tho names ol tho killed and wounded. Thcso statements will bc tvoveu together in an inlcu-stiug man? ner, ?oruo limo ago, each corps commander ivas requested by General E. E. Lee to writo a j is tory of his own corps; in tho caso ot Gcue .al Longstreet, ho requested Geueral Alexan? der to undertake his part, which he did, and t will be well done. Ucncral Alexander is a listin'guished graduate of West Point, a clear md facile writer, and is now a professor iu tho University of South Carolina. He is a brother sf tho well known army correspondent, *'P. W. A." On the other hand, his work will be au? thentic; he was chief of artillery in Long? street's Corps, and wc are informed ho was not only the main adviser of General Longstreet, but his views weil? sought by General Lee him? self. No decisions have yet been rendered in tho Supreme Court. We paid a very interestiog visit to-day to the penitentiary. There aro twonty-tbreo white convicts, two hundred and thirty-pine colored convicts. Total, two hundred and sixty two. You will notice the treffl?nTlous pre? dominance of colored convicts; and three of the white ones are discharged United States soldiers. General Stoibrand is not as popular among tho convicts as Major T. B. Lee; he feeds them as well, but works them harder, yet we must confess Geuoral 6. appears to un? derstand bis business, and everything is car? ried on economically. AU their clothing is made uo and manufactured by themselves, cs also their*shoes. There is also a well kept garden, a blacksmith shop, a machine shop, a grist mill und a tin shop. The convicts that arc not employed m any of these departments work ou the building and in tho quarry, which is in the enclosure, and from which all the granite for the building is obtained. There are twenty-seven guards-fiflcoa negroes and j twelve whires. All these whitos are discharg? ed United States soldiers. Thomas Dohm, sentenced to two years for shootiuga policeman in Charleston, was pardoned to-day by the Governor. HALIFAX. THE ABBEVILLE ENLISTMENTS. The Charleston News and Governor Scott. [From the Abbeville Press, April 0.1 In another column we publish aa editorial from the CHARLESTON NEWS with regard to the organizatiou of a negro company in Abbeville, to which we alluded in our last issue; and also the correspondence which ihe article has elicited between George W. W illiams, a mer? chant ol Charleston, and Governor Scott. In a matter which so nearly cone.rna us, and which affects every interest of person and pto perty, wo would be something more or less than human, if wo tailed to manifest not mere? ly the instincts of mcD, but the partisan feel? ings ot men whose all was involved nt ttl ; dis? cussion, and if we were lacking in sympathy for the gallaut advocate, who has entered the lists so fearlessly, not only in behalf .if thc people of Abbeville, but ul behalf of all thc white people of the state. Aud tu.s, without reference to the fact, whether THE NEWS bo right or wrong-whether it be correct ix tue facts which it assumes, or be sus'cineil in the inferences which it deduces. But cm thc facts be denied? Can the conclusions bc gaiusayed 'i Let us consider them in ordt r. Admit lbs correctness of thc facts which TUE NEWS assntu s, and will they not justify till ot us conclusions aud sustain all of its iillcga lions. What are those fads as alleged'/ lhat in a time of profound peace, wheu all classes of our people, both white and blapk, wera quietly ougaged iu -heir respective avocations, ai.d when our latmers especially were carrying out the coutracts for thc year which they had made witu their black laborers, and with moro tliau common eneitry, with all the appliances of an, und with a double infusion of tho spirit of agricultural enterprise, were striving ?rilli might and matu to dovelopc our material pros? perity, suddenly, without any note of warning, with nothing to justify, nay? tot even to sug? gest such a thing, one who professes to bo an agent of the Governoi, aud to bear his high commission as tho cap? tain of Hie company to be raised, offers to tho black laboring population cul;suu--nt ' as soldiers, at sixteen dollars per month e.ich, with clothing, rations and education" increased pay ai.d tho perquisites and enjoy? meiils of aliteof leisure Gun any one doubt for ono moment as to thc effect of hir.-h au offer, pros-juted to an iguor.int and excitable! population-naturally avereo to work, and cat?y captivated by every passing illusion V Tho golden gates of a n?w El Dorado seemed suddenly opened to their eye?. Down they dropped "thc shovel and tho hoe," and came trooping up to tho village, us "doves to their windows." The fields were niglected-tho plough stood idly in the furrow. This one 1 lost his carriage-driver, that ono his house servant, and another his best field-hand. In a fow days the lists aro filled-a company of sixty-five blacks aro enrolled, and "the cry is still they como." Cokesbury alone sends up a detachment of twenty men on a single day. Keep the door of admission open, ami every effective black lab .-er would don the uniform of a soldier-and reversing thc picture of tho ancient prophet, instead of ploughshares wc would have swords and spears for pruning hooks. And what is tho avowed motivo-the ostensible pretext for this military display this exhibition of " the pride, pomp and cir? cumstance of glorious war?" Forsooth " to regulate the county"-not merely to preserve tho peaoo in the future, but to punish delin? quencies in the past. Law is to be enforced by the bayouet and the purity of the franchise protected by the breech-loader. Woll did the officer desist ; controlled by tho representa? tions of influential gontlcmcn who appealed to his good sense as a man, and bis self-interest as a cttizon. To havo dono otherwise, and to have gone on, as he began, would have given us "not peace, but a sword." It would have disorganized labor, and prostrated industry : produced insubordination on ono side, and irri? tation on the other; inflimod the passions of race, and brought on internecine strife, rapi?o and violence-all and singular the evils which it was ostensibly designed to prevent. Can these conclusions bo cainsayed ? Can any ono doubt ? Has Governor Scott denied, or can ho doubt, that such would be the natural and ne? cessary resul.s of attempting to rule thc white people of tho State by companies ot negro mi? litia? If TH3 NEWS then bo justified in the con? clusions which it draws from its premises, in what respect has it erred in thc statement of thc facts which malto un'the basis of its argu? ment ? What is tho point of controversy be? tween tho Governor and thc oditor ? The facts aro as we have above stated them, and to that extent they justify tho allegations of THE NEWS. But t?c Governor denies that ho gavo any authority for the organization of a negro company, and intimates that the act of the officer in Abbeville contemplated nothing more than a legitimate enrollment of all our citizens under tho recent law of the Legislature for the organization of the militia. Upon the question of authority-whether the officer in Abbeville had any authority at all, or whether he abused it-we are willing to accept the statement of Governor Scott, so far as ho him? self is concerned. Whether he had a commis? sion from the Adjutant-General, wo have no means of verification, as no written autboiity was exhibited. It is sufficient for our pur po se that tho officer claimed to havo authority from the Governor. Authority! Authority to do what? To enroll all citizens, black and whito, under tho late act of the Legislature. Nothing of all this!-but to organizo a black company for imm?diate servico, with proffer ot high wages, rations, clothing and education-to organize a regular "s anding army" on a small 6cale to drag tho refractory into obedi? ence-to preservo, in duo equilibrium, tho scales of even-handed justice, and to guard tho purity of the ballot box. It is sufficient for our purpose that thc officer not only claimed to have thc authority of the Governor, but pro? ceeded to its exercise-wielding tho wand al? most as effective as "tho potent rod oi Amram's son." The company was raised as if hy en? chantment- liko Jonah's gourd or Ahvlin's pal? ace-and the btroug appeals of somo >f our in? fluential cttiz<*ns could only extort from tho ofikcr a promise to susp .-nd action until ho could hear from th > Governor. Governor Scott has disavowed tho act of one who pi o fesscd to act under his authority. Here wo arc willing to lol thc matter rest. We havo stated tho facts, so far as wc know them, and wc aro willing- to allow others to draw then- own con? clusions. Later from the Knrolllnu Officer. Guffio, tho enrolling ofliccr, writes thc fol? lowing letter lo tho Abbcvillo Press: I ?,vpo ?tm will memtgo me by inserting this card in your paper. I see a correspondence in tho Columbia l'hceaix between his Excellency It. K. bcott and Ur. Williams, relative to tho organization of thc militia. I received in? structions from tho Aoiutaut-Gcneial to raise a company. 1 first tried to raise a white com? pany, but never eur illed a single whito man. Thoro was only ono alternative left, and that was to cor ill colored men, which I sa v at onco would so disorganizo labor as to mase it almost impossible to make a crop in fuis country. I wrote immediately to Governor b cot t telling him my tears organizing a colored company, and in reply roccived a letter from his Excellency R. K. Scott, saying he did not intend for mo to commence enrolling at once. Aud instructed me to Dotify all tboso wishing to enroll them? selves in thc militia, that for tho present tho enrollment will be suspended; adviso the labor? ers to devote themselves to their employment, and waste no time in looking for military or? ganizations. 1 oan safely say if the civil law J are enforced by tbe officers now in office, the citizons of Abbeville need nover fear the pres? ence pf an armed force again. But when a magistrate is told to his faco that if ho had issued a warratit for tho arrist of certain parties for a violation of the peuce, that neither honor his constable could arrest them, (and I know they have not been arrested, ) I will just ask thc good law-abiding citizens, if tho civil law foils to roach those cases, muet we submit and let them go at large, a terror to tho countiy? Respectfully, LEM. L. G?IFIN. THE BURNING OE MADISON, GA. Tho Georgia papers bring us tho terriblo de? tails of tho great tire iu Madison, on Thurs? day night, already briefly ncticsd by tele? graph : Accounts as to its origin arc conflicting; some say that it was accidental, while others think that it was thc work of some devilish incendiary. The fire originated in the furni? ture store of Ur. Albert Suaw, about 9 o'clock at night, and tbcu raged with the inmost fury until half-past 12 or 1 o'clock, destroying by this time some twenty-five or thirty stores and two or turee dwelling houses. The courthouso and hotel escaped. Robinson's carriage repos? itory, G. N. Dexter's livery stable and carriage establishment, and the post?nico aro tho only buildings left on tho public squaro. The fol? lowing is a list of houses destroyed hy the fire: Furniture storo ol' Albert Shaw; Mrs Muslin's millinery eatablishuicn' ; Child's book store ; dry goods storo of William Pea? cock; furniture store of Sebastian Shaw; Rich tor & Bro.'? grocery; tho cxteusivc dry goods and grocery establishment of J. A. Broughton; bar aud billiard saloou of T. J. Stallingt; Wm. A. Bennett's family si occry stoic; small shop between Beunetr and Huff & Camp's es'ablish roent; R. A. Booth's grocery; R. N. Booth's grocery; tho Town Hall was entirely consum? ed; the building and the confectionery itore of C. L. Fielding; tue three stores of C. Campboll, tho largest of which was cccapicd by Messrs. McHeurv & Son; tho brick store ot E. H. Cohen & Co.; drugstore oec ?pied by Messrs. C. IL Andrews & Co.; tho brick storo owned and oc? cupied by J. IL High & Co.; dry goods and grocery store iceupieu by Messrs. Vason & Hillsman; drug storo occupied by Colonel Na? poleon Atkinson; "dry goods establishment ot J. \V. & W. H. Bear lin; dry goods stoic occu? pied by Asher Levy; Masonic Hall building, occupied by C. B. Atkiusoa as a diy goods and gioeciy flore; Hannon ..?aiti?'s drinking saloon; Milton Muslin's restaurant; Dr. Hitch? cock's drua store; P. lt. Thoinasou's dry goods, grocery storo and dwclliug, and A. ti. Hull's tm shop aud dwelling. Tho bu*iuo.-s portion of Madison, like ncarlv all the country towns of a similar 8?ze in tho Slate, i? built in the shape of a hollow squaro, in tho centre of which stood the Courthouso, and lining tho four sides wcro nearly all the stores which tho town, contained. Although tho first alarm given had tho effect of sum? moning almost tho entire male population of the placo to the scene of danger, yet having no uro department to aid them, lind no other facilities for extinguishing the flames, their exertions, though descnb d as almost super? human, were without avail, aud thc fire steadi? ly and with great rapidity advanced on its march of destruction. The >cciio ft this timo is described as (earful beyond description. The squaro was tilled with a mass of men, women, ami children, who. turned suddenly ou: ol' their homes, stood and witnessed tho des IrUCtlon of their property, and yet were utterly powerless to prevent .1. Tho breaking out of tho fire was so sudden, that scarcely anything was saved fr-ni ihc houses, aud what was taken away was princi? pally furniture, which was injured so much in tho removal as to icucer it of but little ecr vice. Thc flamc3 a ft jr destroying Iwcnty-nino stoics (every one in tho town except one ) together with the office of tho Farm Journal and a large number of private residences, wore finally subdued, more from a want of some? thing to proy on, thnn from any other cause Tho Joss may be safely estimatod at $200 OOo! Tho stocks of goods were generally partially insured. The worst feature of tho whole busi? ness is that during the fire nearly every pound of provr ?ons in tho town Tas consumed; what escape.', is wholly insufficient to supply tho wants of the people, and they aro said to bo actually suffering for bread.

Assis? tance was promptly rondered, and they wore fortunately rescued almost exhausted. Thc Times says: "On Saturday night, be? tween twelve aud one o'clock, our -citizens were arousod by the ringing of tho alarm bell, and it was soon discovered that the store or Messrs. Risloy. Heston ic Bowland was on tire. 'Ihe tiro proceeded from thc interior of tho brick building, in which a lot of hay wasstorod.

To tho prompt exertions of our firemen are duo tho safety of thc whole brick rango, which appoared to bo in imminent danger, as tho flames had already involved the partition of thc adjoining store, in which was contained dry goods and other combustible material; but beyond the building in which it orini lated, very lui lo damage was done. The gooda of tho store were injured by the smoke and water, but wo understand everything was fully insured." Anderson. Thc Intelligencer, noticing Bales-day, says : One tract of land, containing 217 acres, more or less, in tho neighborhood of Pendleton, was sold by the clerk under a decree of court, aud brought the sum of $1575.

POR3HER, April 13 1 Secretary of Faculty. ?-TUE ACTING MAYOR AND ASSISTANT TREASURER OF THE UNITED STATES AIDING TO MAKE APPROPRIATIONS FROM THE CITY TREASDBY IN VIOLATION OF LAW. TO THE EDIT OB OF THE NEWS. Thc Act of tho Legislature of December 13, 1830, in reference to the Municipal Government of Charles? ton, provides as follows: "SEO. 2 The Mayor, and not less than twelve Al? dermen, shall bo a quorum for the imposition of taxes and thc appropriation of money." I commend the abovo to Mr. O. W. CLARE, Acting Mayor, and Mr. J. D. GEDDINGS, Acting Al* derman, as tboy sook to oxcuse their lawless efforts to keep the Republican Mayor and Aldermen elect out of office, by affeoting a sensitive "regard for law." These gentlemen have recently aided in mak? ing appropriations out of tho City Treasury with a Bojrd consisting, all told, of tho Mayor and only ELEVEN Aldermm. Mr. CLARE is tho well known Democratic aspirant for the Customhouse, and Mr. GEDDINGS is the Democratic candidate-slightly disguised-for re-appointment as Assistant Treas? urer of tho United States; and they havo doubtless been so busy in getting up memorials in their be half, signed Dy violent Democrats and bogus Repub? licans, that this law bas escaped their attention.
