A PRECIOUS BOW IS THE RADICAL FAMTLT 8PRAGCE AND ABBOTT-BEJECTI IX OFTjUAKERS -ADJOURNMENT OF THE EBNATS. . ' WASHLNGTCV, April 23.-Senator Sprague's ?words, which offended Abbott, were: "Mr. President, in answer to the tkade of the sena? tor from Novada and thc senator from North Carolina, I am reminded of a little illustration. Io my travels from the centre here into the rural districts through the woods and farms of the surrounding neighborhood, chanco at one timo ?Touffbt me to a farm-house. I discover? ed on looking up a largo mastiff and a mon? grel pnupy-dog. Tire little dog moved on rn? with rapidity from behind, bit at my heels, and then frightened at his temerity, ran howling away, followed by his larger companion. The Senate will observe that the mongrel whining puppy, en :ouraged by the mastiff and embold? ened to make the attack from the shadow of his backer, ran rapidly away alarmed at his temerity, whilst the overgrown cur followed after, with ears flapped and tail between his legs, to a place of safety beside his menaced companion." During yesterday evening Abbott threaten? ed to horsewhip Sprague unloss he retractod. In the Senate last night, Abbott said: "When I arose in the executive session some timo ago to asl: that the doors be opened, I said that I did not intend to utter anything unbecoming this floor. What I did intend to do was to ask the senator from Rhode Island if he intended to apply the term puppy to me as is implied in the connection of th.it language. If he did intend to apply it to mo, my purpose was ti ask him for a retraction as fall as the implica? tion of the language, and, if he refused that retraction, my intention was to ask for satis? faction ont of this chamber. I now, sir, give notice, inasmuch as the senator has skulked out of the chamber, that I intend to have satisfaction outside of the chamber." Sumner called Abbott to order, aol after much confusion he was allowed to say in ex? planation : "I will state that I am not a duellist. I wa^-not educated as a duellist, and I did not mean that sort of a thine; but I meant to say that the senator from Rhode Island must make a retractioj as broad as the assertion (order 1) and that I shall have that satisfaction outside of this chamber in some way. There was a false report that Sprague left town early this morning, and that Abbott was absent from his usual haunts; but it is now known that Sprague has been at home all thc morning, and has not heard from Abbott. LATER. -Senator Sprague rode out as usual i to-day; fie gives a dinner-party to-night. -No 1 definite report has been received of Abbotts ' movements or intentions. 1 The expected interview between the Presi- ? dent and the Wells' wing of. the Virginia Ra publicans failed to-day. 1 There was a full Cabinet to-day. Tho Austrian Minister Jay, having received instructions, will sail on the 3th of May. Secretary Boutwell will go to Boston until < the middle of next month. Senator Morton is convalescent. Colonel Mix, for thirty years chief clerk of ; the Indian Bureau, has been displaced. Receipts from customs from the 12th to the 17th instant, inclusive, three-quarters of a - million. Secretary Bono has issued orders, author- ' izing commandants of Davy-yards to pay work? men for extra labor, bat not pay full prices for a day's work ol eight hours. Secretary Boutwell will open and consider bids for gold, in sums of not less than $5000, every Thursday until further notice. The Senate rejected tn o of the twelve Qua- : kera whom the President nominated as Indian Agents. The Senate adjourned sine die at 1.30 this 1 morning._ EUROPE. THE SPANISH THRONS-THE CORTES DIVIDED ON THE SUBJECT. MADRID, April 21.-Another informal meet? ing of the members of the majority in the Cortes was held to-day to nominate a candi? dat* for the throne. So great was the diversi? ty of opinion that the meeting broke up with? out reBult, leaving membe i more widely divid? ed th m before on the subj. Prime Minister Serrano declared that .he choice of Montpen 8ier for King, or a declaration of a Republic, were the only possibto alternatives. General Prim, who was also present, remained silent throughout" the proceedings. His conduct has given rise to widespread belief that he would be unwilling to accept the Presidency of the Spanish Republic. MADRID, April 23.-The Cortes have con? sidered the newspaper laws, and the amend? ment establishing a modified censorship was rejected, and the original provision guaran? teeing liberty of the press, freedom of meet? ing and association, and right of petition, was ad emt ed by a large majority. if ie expected the government will abolish duties on cotton and coal. The Cortes is considering the project for the reorganization of the army on the Prussian system. DISCOVERY OF A MAZZINI AN CONSPIRACY. MUAN, April 21.-The government authori? ties have discovered another formidable Maz zinian conspiracy m this city. Papers which were concealed by tho revolutionists and which gave details of the organization have been un? earthed and seized, together with a large amount of arms and ammunition. A number of the ringleaders have been arrosted. SPARKS PROM THE WIRES. The gunboat Seminole has sailed from Boa tOD for Cuba. The Revenue officers at New Orleans have released all the whiskey seized on Wednesday. Brigadier-General Miles D. McAlister, of the United States Army, Engineer Corps, is dead. The Beneficial Savings Fund, of Philadel? phia, which was recently robbed, received half a .nillion of the stolen registered bonds by express to-day, but no clue has yet been ob? tained to the convertible property stolen. A party, consisting of Colonel John W. For of Washington, ex-Governor Marcus L. Ward, of New Jersey, General Van Wyek, cf New York, and other prominent men from thc North, arrived iii Richmond yesterday. They will come as far South as Georgia. -It has become fashionable for Parisian ladies to wear wig3 made of floss silk. FROM THE STATE CAPITAL. A Sketch of thc Negro Bond Case-Points of General McGowan's Argument, [FROM OCR OWN CORRESPONDEXT.J COLUMBIA, April 22.-The Suoremo Court baa been much interested in bearing tho case of Margarito M. Calhonu, Duff G. Calhoun et al, ads. Florido Calhoun and Thomas G. Clemp sou, adr.-bill for foreclosure of mortgage. McGowan and Whaloy for appellants; Noble and Thomson for appellees. The farm known ab Fork Hill, tho homo place of John C. Cal? houn, with fifty uegroes and other personal property, was Bold by hi8 witlow, Mrs. M. M. Calhoun, and daughter, to her son, A. P. Cal? houn, in 1851, for $19,000, with nf teen years allowed for payment, and the whole property was covered by a mortgage. A. P. Calhoun died shortly after intestate, and the appellants in the case were his heirs. None of the debt was paid up to 1805, when a bill was filed to foreclose the mortgage, th? validity ef which was discussed in court before Chancel? lor W. D. Johnson, who decreed in favor of the appellees; but an appeal was obtained, and the case is now before the Supreme Court. The main point a', issue is the validity of tbe oe ntnet for tho fifty slaves, and it is certainly JL case of momentous interest. The following are brief heads of the argument of General S. McGowan, without quoting the host of authori? ties or going into tho argument at large, which was not based on mere technicalities, but on the spirit and broad intent of the law: L ID every sale of slaves for full value, the seller warranted the title of the slaves against all dulcets, known and uuknown, and tho sub? sequent abrogation by the government of the laws establishing slavery, was a breach of that covenant of warranty. 2. The loss of slaves by emancipation amounts to a failure of consideration, and where it occurrod whilst coutracts for slaves wer3 executory, the court will not enforce thom, because the thing purchased was not enjoyed. 8. Contracte for sjaves?are now made not only void but criminal, and the local provisions which made slavery legal and gave validity to tbesc contracts being abrogated, the courts will not now enforce them. 4. Bach contracts will not be enforced here, because slavery is now against the policy of the realm, and it is os much tbe duty of courts to enforce the policy as the positive enactments of the Bt&t?. 5. The Constitution of thc State of South Carolina explicitly declares such contracts "null and void and of no effect." 6. The 4th section of die Fourteenth Amend? ment of the Constitution of the United States declares all claims for the emancipation of slaves "shall bo held illegal and void." Mr. Wm. Whaley was heard to-day on the same side. His main points have been sent you by telegraph. HALIFAX. THE FHONIX AND GOVERNOR SCOTT'S CENSUS APPOINTMENTS. [?From the Anderson Intelligencer.] Tbe Columbia Pheonix of Tuesday publishes i hst of appointments made by Governor Scott jf person? selected to talo thc census of each I jouncy in the State, and in connection there? with makes usu of th? followu,1 'The appointments will bo prencrally approved, ind we hope that in thc discharge of their du? nes these officials will meet with every facility s hi ch can be afforded by the citizens of our State." Now, when it is declared that one [hird of the persons named are negroes, and :he majority of them totally unqualified for the position, the statement ot the Pheonix will be re? ceived with surprise and indignation. Publish? ed at the capital of the State, and with facilities to obtain information not excelled by another journal within its borders, the Pheonix makes the grandest mistake in presuming that such appointments will be "generally approved." 8o far from this being the case, we incline to the opinion that they wdl be gonorally con? demned. Heretofore, newspapers at the capi? tel have been looked upon aa the exponents ot public sentiment throughout the State, but it ought to bo distinctly understood that, in this instance, there is a lamentable failure to ap? preciate public eentiment, mach less to give tone and direction to public opinion. Such appointments will not be "generally approved," now or hereafter, for the principle is wrong to confer office upon incompetent and unworthy persona, of whatever race or color. We are not astonished by the coarse Gover? nor Soott hos panned in making these appoint? ments. He is cheek by jowl with the negroes, and it re-elected will owe his second elevation to their support. His appointment for this conntyis against the wishes of his own party, so far as we can learn, and we understand that a petition waa circulating among the respecta? ble colored people on yesterday, asking Gover? nor Scott to reconsider tho matter. There were other applications before him, wo have been assured, and among them the name of T. J. Webb, who is entirely competent to fill the place, and possesses every qualification to meet the requirements of the Republican party, including loyalty itself. Besides, he was recommended by numerous citizens of both , parties. Why wero hts claims ignored, and tbe office fil'ed by a colored man not at all quali? fied ? But, then, the Phceaix says such ap? pointments will bo "generally approved." Et tu Ende ? LIABILITIES AND ASSETS OF THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA. The Columbia Phoenix, upon inquiry at tho Treasury, has received the following state? ment of the funded debt of the State, and interest thereon, together with the assets to this date : Three per cent.

THE CHARLESTON NEWS A>D GOVEBNOB SCOTT_THE CHARLESTON NEWS fearlessly ex? poses the high handed panie which tlio so called Governor ot South Carolina has been practicing in the aiming of negroes. Tnis great calumniator of the good people of South Carolina, not content with an attempt to bring abont a suspension of the writ of habeas cor? pus tu the upper portion ot this State, has de? termined to arm and array the negroes against tho whites, on pretence of organizing the mili? tia, in pursuance ot an act of tho Legislature which he was istrumental in a great measure in cansing to '.? passed. This attempt to bully the white peoplo of South Carolina by negro soldiery will prove unavailing, and Governor Scott will find by experience that the people of this State will not dishonor the bones of their ancestors by submitting to such a disgrace.

A Special Agent Dispatched to Cuba 1 thc President-Movements of thc FL ousters-Letter from Havana-Kev!? of the Revolt. Advices from Washington say that it is ni well known that a special agent has been sc to Cuba by thc President, to investigate t situation there and report the results. T agent left several days ago. On tho strone, of this report will depend the action which to bo taken by our government with regard the recognition of Cuban independence. T. views of the agent who has been selected 1 this important mission are such that no c cumstance will be lost sip hi of that will tend present the affairs of the revolutionists ir favorable light. The Filibusters. Thc rumors regarding contemplate d expec tions from thc States to Cuba aro not ince rect, and a force of formidable dimensioi] under the command of a prominent Weela general, is being prepared. Attention is bsii diverted from the real port of embarkation 1 tho publication of falso places, and the re point has not boon selected, but it will bo Li? ther at New Orleans nor Now York. The ii surgen ls'friends aver that toe shall soon g< tho news of the recognition of the insurgen by Mexico and Pogota, and that their act wi be soon followed byChili,Colombia and Ecuado A dispatch from Washington, in the Bostc Advertiser of the 19th instant, says : Dispatches from Savannah lead tho fricuc of the Cubm revolution here to believe tht General J. B. Stecdman has made a succcssft landing in Cuba with a picked I oreo o 'mei The expedition bas been in preparation for number of months. General Stecdman him self spent two weeks in Havana, and duriu the latter part of the time was so far under ai rest as to bo ordered quietly by tho Captair General to report to him da ily. The first rer dozvons of bis party was on one of tho island near New Orleans. When Admiral Hoff receiv ed his first orders the headquarters of tb expedition were changed to a point on the Plot ida coast. A blookade-runner, captured fror tho rebels in the late wai, was obtained, am the belief is that near ono thousand men, wei supplied with arms and thoroughly accustom ei to their use, have made a landing on the Cuba: shore. The New York Herald says : For several weeks the Cubans in (his citj have been quietly but assiduously workini to aid their brother revolutionists in tin field by the shipment of men, money and mnnitiocs to them. Volunteering is going oi very rapidly, but very quietly, ant the recruits are promptly forwarded in smal detachments to Cuba. Very recently a ful battery of field artillery, completely oquippec and manned, was dispatched, and information has been received of its safo arrival. A Washington telegram, of the 21st inst., sa.ve Dispatches bavo been received hore fron Admiral Hoff, commanding tho Gulf squadron in which be states that, as far as ho has beor able to ascertain, no troops or munitions ol war of any account havo been landed on tht Island of Cuba. He also stales that ho ha: faiied to discover that any more have departed from the shores of the United States. It is also stated that tho Spanish minister herc u of thc opinion that in thc case of thc schooner Man-Powell, tho Spanish authorities in Cuba will refer the demands of tho United States Government to the home government in Spain before any action will be taken in the matter. TbcNew York Herald says: Secretory Fish on Tuesday waa called upon by Senor "Roberts, tho Spanish Minister, who demanded that a proclamation discouraging filibustering expeditious trom sai lin cr to Cuba should be issued by the President. The Sec rotary promptly declined to do anything of tho sort, and said that as there was a revolutionary organization in arms in Cuba, formed by tho native Cubans under their own provisional government, he could see no good reason to hinder the departure o? any persons irom this country who may choose* to take up arms in their service. Minister Roberts, it is said, withdrew vory much surprised, and afterwards submitted the same demand in writing. In regard to the Mary Lowell affair, Secretary Fish has concluded that the Dritish govern? ment is liable to us for permitting her to be captured in British waters, and bo bas there? fore made representations to that effect to the British minister. As for the Lizzie Majors, however, several days ago he demanded full reparation and indemnity from the Spanish government through Senor Roberts, wbo con? ceded the Justness of the claims, and guaran? teed that Spain would make satisfactory repa? ration. He promised to lay the matter before his home government immediately, but yester? day he informed the Secretary that lie had not heard from the eovemment since. The Secre? tary then diplomatically informed him that war would ensue if an answer was not forth? coming shortly. A Review of thc Progresa of the Revo? lution. It ii now six months since Carlos Manuel C?spedes at Yara, in the Eastern Department of Cuba, began the revolution which now oc? cupies the attention of the world. Then no ono had faith in the Cubans. Tho earnestness of their purpose, their courage, their perse? verance, their fighting qualities were doubted. Now they bave established themselves firmly in the good opinion of mankind. The Spaniards have made three distinct movements for the suppression of this revolt. The first was in thc Easiern Department under Yal m seda. He was sent out from Havana to get possession of Bayamo, then tho revolution? ary headquarter?. After immense difficulties and heavy lesses, he arrived at his destina? tion, with his decimated troops worn out with skirmishes, which had never ceased along their whole line of march. But the little town ho was sent to subdue was burned by its poople before he got there, and its occupation availed nothing toward tho subjugation of the Cubans. On the contrary, he immediately found him? self shut up there, surrounded by a watchful enemy, whom he could not bring to action, but who never ceased to pick off his outposts, harass his foraging parties, and capture bis convoys. He is still at Bayamo. and keeps bodice of troops at Jibara, Holguin, and Jigu ani ; but he is just as far from controlling the department as he was the day he landed at Nuevitas and began his march southward. The next campaign was that of Lesea, who marched from Guanaia to reUeve Puerto Prin? cipe in the Central Depar aaent, where the Spanish gsm'son was. besieged by the insur? ants under Quesada. Thc new leader brought to tho work a more powerful forco than had previously been collected by tho government, and he set out with loud declarations of his purpose to exterminate the rebels wherever he should meet them. The result waa identical with that which had come upon Valmaseda. Ho was assailed by invisible enemies at every step, and after a long, arduous, and circuitous ad? vance, in which he nowhere got a chance fairly to strike his foe, he entered Puerto Principe, having lo-t 31 officers and 189 soldiers killed, aud more than 400 wounded, bestdostwo-thirds ol thc convoy of ammunition and provisions, and all the money that ho lind taken with him. Since then he. too, has been shut up in tho place he came to relievo, worBO off and in greater danger than his predecessor. The third aud last of these great operations consisted of a concentric movement ot three co'umas directed upon Siguanea, IQ the south? western part of thc Central Department. Ouo column of 2000 men, under General Escalante, marched ft om Alvarez, in tbe District of Sigua; one of 1000. under Bucota, from Villa Clara; and the third ol 1000, under Letona, proceeded northward from Trinidad. These columna met willi a similar experience. They found no or? ganized bodies ol rebids in their way. bu" they were annoyed by partisan attacks "which they 'could neither prevent nor punish. Of the losses of Escalante and Baceta wo have no m foiniation; but those of Letona amounted to three hundred, nearly onc-i hud ol' his whole force. But the worst of it for thc Spaniards is, that they gained nothing whatever by the un? dertaking. Il they could have b'ongbt the in? surgents to battle and killed or captured them, it would have been something to counterbal? ance their losses. But au cueniy who cannot bc seen or fired at. and who not only finis at you trout every thicket, and surprises you jfrom every mountain path and plantation road, I but holds the country after you have passed through it, is a very inconvenient enemy indeed. This third movement doubtless ends tbe active efforts of tbe Spaniard? for the present seison. There nas a report of a battle near [ Remedios, but it is doubtless an exaggeration. The Cubans have not fought a regular battle, ! and do not mean to. The rains which are now be ginning, and which will Inst through the next three months, will render tho country impracticable for the Spaniards. Every road will become a quagmire, and only the natives can get about at all. The Spaniards will there? fore hare to withdraw. Even their ,- arrisons at such places as Bayamo and Puerto Principe, will doubtless be moved to the Bea coast from the impossibility of supporting them inland. Then tho yellow lever will begin its work, and tbe small Spanish army cannot fail to bo great? ly weakened by this cause in the course of the summer. Still, we may aa well understand that they will not give up tho contest for that reason. They are exceedingly pertinocioua, and will fight for years after all hope of suc? cess is abandoned. Letter from an Influential Coban-Thc Island Drenched with Blood--Tbe .Mob Looking Forward to the Day ot Gen? eral Massacre. The New York Sun publipb.es the following letter: HAVANA, April KL- I take pleasure in writing these lines to the good brother, since, thank God, I may count myself yet among the living, even if only half alive. My principal object is to press upon you the oecossity of untiring perseverance for tbe prompt remittance to us of aid in arms and war material, because if these do not reach us very quickly, and iu abun? dance, we shall perish all. Against everything Cuban there exists an implacable hatred, and there is a thirst for blood and extermination. MC Ii DE US OF UNPARALLELED ATBOCTTr. Assassinations multiply daily; there is not thc least personal security, and we are all doomed to death. You have probably beard already of the assassinations perpetrated in Macuriges by the commander of volunteers, Durante; those at Col?n, Palmillas and other places by thc sadly distinguished Chapelgor ris; that" at Cardenas by Don Felipe Pelayo, upon tho person ot Don Geronimo Valladares, after piercing him with ten bullets only tor the pleasure of killing him, and a mulatto, and robbing them of all the objects of value they bad. His cjrpso was dragged to the barracks, and there his breast was twice pierced with the bayonet. In Bemba they killed Don Anto? nio Cadiz, Don Lorcta Inda, and many otheis with whose names lam not acquainted. THE ASSASSINATION OF YOUNO OLIVA. I c innot omit mentioning here the virtuous and industrious young man Don Nicolas Oliva, ? murdered in Bemba in the most cowardly and barbarous manner. At four o'clock in tho morning ho left his home, leaving his old mother. Iiis wife and two children, one of these a child twenty days old. de went out to his work to earn the bread for those beings whose existence relied entirely upon the work ot his bands. At about six squares from his house ho was murdered, having his back pierced with bayonets, and ho was also robbed in tho name of sacred love for Spain. It saddens the soul to hear of such shocking deeds, too numerous to relate. It is unnecessary to tell yon that all this is done by th ? rabble, without country, virtue, or honor, callod tho volunteers, "the supportera ot order." THE LI VINO MUMMY DOWER INO BEFORE HIS MOB. Dulce is a coward, who trembles before thc volunteers, and approves their acts of vandal? ism. Still he has been boen put into such a fix by the commissions of volunteers who have come from Colon, Cardenas. Matanzas and other places, to exact from him thc dismissal ot their govornors, that with all hasto ho or deied a body ol artillery from the seat of war to garrison the Moro and the Cabana, and for the garrison at'Matanzas bo called the batall?n de ?ap?les (battalion of Naples.) THE VOLUNTEERS DEMAND INO BLOOD. lTt *^ftnfM -' H i .lianna Thoy wished that on Saturday of Glory the young prisoner, Don Manuel Despau, should be given up to thom (tho volunteers) to cele brate the Aleluya (religious loslival) by drag ging him through tho streets. The Governor and a commander ofvetoian troops who had chargo of him in tho bairacks with only fifty men, being both honest, refused to deliver him. Thc murmur continued thus for severat t^ys, until the Governor one day sent the pris? oner to tho capital at break of day. Aa soon as they heard of it three companies of those barbarous men went to the Plaza dc Annas (a square in Matanzas) to demand that the pris? oner be delivered up to them. PINTO COURAGEOUSLY DEFIES THEIL Seno Lopez Pinto went down to the Plaza and tned to pacify them, but tho mob did not understand reason. Finally, losing all pa? tience, he dre v his sword and told them he would break it into a hundred pieces sooner tlian consent to bo bullied by Bum a mob. Thereupon they took their stand at the Casino, and m the evening they came to Havana by the train, fifty of them, the brave men, com? manded by Tonrodon, and well equipped and aimed, to oak the Captain-General for the de? livery into their bands of the prisoner, that they might take him back to Matanzas. For? tunately the Uve mummy would not consent to it; but on the following' day Colonels Ramon, Herrera, Valdivielso and Rizo bad to go to Ma? tanzas, worthy chief truly ol those bordes, in order to satisfy, tame down, and please the scoundrels. A DAY OF MO URNING IN HAVANA. Yesterday was a day of mourning for thia c tty, not only because the brave martyrs of their country, Loon and Medina, suffered death by the rile garote (and thoy died like heroes, crying out "Long live Cuba free and independent,'") but also because the brave volunteers, indignant at sucb a display of cour? age and heroism, gavo vont to their fcohngs by firing indiscriminately aud charging with the bayonet into thc defenceless multitude. Different reports estimate tbe i umber of killed, wounded, and injured at from six to twenty. The volunteers boast of having hacked to pieces, in his own house, an unfortunate father of a family who lived in that neighbor hoed. THE PRETENCES DNDER WHICH CUBANS ABE KILLED. Of course, as on other previous occasions, they pretend that seditious crios were uttered, and that shots were fired from tho terraces; but the only things to account for these acts are the ferocity and their thirst for Cuban blood. When I listeu to the ;i to-day relating their exploits agaius1 defenceless men, and an? nouncing that tho "great day" (general mas? sacre) ie close at hand, I can scarcely keep my hands from tearing them to pieces. They havo made many arre?is and will continue with their murders. SHALL THESE ATROCITIES LONGER BE TOLERATED ? Finally, Spain does not govern here, nor Dulce, nor tho Spaniards who are established here and bave families, 'the country is at the mercy of the worst kind of "canaille;" cart-men, porten?, and vagabonds, daily excited and ex? asperated by the newspapers; they think and desire only to kill ns all, and afterward divide the booty. The picture isa tad ono, and badly made, but a true one. If the great people of tho TJnit?d StateB do not aid us quickly, we shall have manv Horrors to lamont. Thc in? surgents of the five cities are doing that which would seem incredible. For the attack upon Siguanea alone, tho government sent against them 11,000 troops and artillery. We should mako a contract for a strong loan, with mortgages of all our property. -Tho contract of the French Government for Virginia tobacco has been awarded to two bootes in New York. Tho order ia for about eight thousand hogsheads. Three qualities of tobacco are usually bought; a first-ralo article of lugs, ebor!, leaf, and leaf of good quality. This tobacco is bought for tho purpose of be? ing manufactured into auuff. The snuff made of it is of tho celebrated "Maeaboy" brand, a co?rse snuff highly flavored, and almost uni? versally used iu France, and the secret of the manufacture of whim is carefully 1 opt. Sweet, sound tobacco is bought for this contract, and is in that respect different from the order from Germany, to fill which "funked" tobacco is prefer? ed. -A dispatch to thc PhiladelphiaPrrsi states that tht: instructions Tor Minister Motley are bow in course ot preparation. They will, in effect, multe the ilcmauds on thc Bri'ish Government foreshadowed in Senator Sum i er's recent speech on the Alabama quostion.

Mr. CHUMACIRO, on the sad occasion, lie feelinclv and truthfully said: "Havo I to hriug to your memory this dear deport? ed, who. but a few hours ago, was thc pride of bor husband, children, a great number of friends, and, we may add, tbe pride of Israel ?" "Poesy in all her words, works and actions was her grase and beauty. Every faithful mother in Is? rael will hand it over to her child, and thus praise ?Tgraco and beauty f?r ail eternity. I have en? deavored to speak of her according to her merits, according to thegratitudo which every true Israel? ite has to (entier her. I will not dare to praise her as wife, mother and friend, for every ono who is hore assembled and knew her has to confess that the was the most pertcet among the imperfect." "I have to remain sUent in regard to her virtues, devotion and love which she exhibited in social life." '?Wh it my heart cannot produce at this moment I will find in the utterance of Ker heart : "Great God of the faithful, unto Thee, thee alone, Must we bow tn submission Ueforo thy great throne." "Sc mortal can offer her family consolation; this is only lett to tho Great God of the faithful, to her Lord and Creator, in whom she trusted, lived and died." "Shall we mourn the destruction of the greatness of this daughter of Israel ? We will unite in the tear? of her husband and children for the dustruo tioii ol their temple of love. As exiles they are left on earth, their greatness aud pride have become a rain. Bot the Great God of tbe faithful, in Bis everlasting mercy, will have pity on thean orphans. Ho will bring these exiles, husband and children, to the lind of promise in Heaven, and there, united with the raitbiu] one, will offer unto their Heavenly Eather her song and psalm : "Ibo eyes ol all s?mil wait on 2b.ee, For perfect are thy ways.

OW COMMON SENSE RULES THE MASS of the people, whatever the misnamed and misan? thropie philosophers may say to the contrary. Show them a good thing, let its merits be clearly demon? strated, and they will not hesitate to give ll their mrat cordial paironage. The masses have already ratified the judgment of a physician concerning thc virtues of HOSTETTER'3 BITTERS, as may he seen in the Immense quantities of this medicine that are annually sold in every section of the land. It is now recognized as greatly superior to all other remedies yet devised for diseases of the digestive organs, euch as diarrhoea, dys ntery, dyspepsia, and for the va? rious fuvers that arise from derangement of those portions ol the system Hon tetter's name ls rapidly becoming a household word, from Maine to Texas, irosa the shcres of the Atlantic to the Pacific These celebrated SI OMACH BI IT ER S have doubtless cre? ated os much sensation in thc community for their remarkable cures as any other medicine extant It ia a fact that in tno minds of many persons a preju* dico exists against what are called patent medicines; but why should this prevent you resorting to an ar? ticle that has such an array of testimony to support it as HOrTETTER'd STOMACH BITTERS. Physleians prscrlbe lt; why should youdfscajdll? Judges, usual? ly considered men of talent have and do use lt in their families; why should you reject lt ? Let not your prejudice usurp your reason, to the everlasting in I jury of your health. It is the only preparation of thc kind that is reliable in all cases, and it is there? fore worthy of the consideration of the afflicted. The BITTERS are pleasant to tho taste, agreeable In their effects, and altogether valuable as a tonic or remedy for indigestion.

Saratoga, in the Sta'o of New York, is one of the most remarkable mineral reservoirs upon tba surface of the globe. Within an aroa of a mile in diameter are some thirty mineral springs-no two of them alike. In some of tue waters, Chloride of Sodium predominates; in others, Iodine, Magnesia, Sulphur, Chalybeate, kc. The beneficial effects of some of these waters, as medicinal agents, ore known throughout tho civilized world. Probably one hun? dred thousand persona visit these Springs annually. Many hundred thousand bottles of the water are transported and consumed in the various localities of tho country. The SARATOGA "A" SPRING WATER ?H pro? bably the most effective mineral water found on either continent. It will bo observed that it has ten per cent greator mineral properties thin the cele? brated Congress Spring; tour times that of Baden Baden of Austria; Ava times that of A Ix la Chapelle inPrnssia; twice that of Vichy in France; nearly three times greator than the renowned Seltzer of Germany; and equally over the Spas of Bath, Eng? land, and Bissengen in Bavaria. The reputation of this waler is based upon its effects in diseases of the stomach, liver, bowels, kidneys, and spleen, and acts with wonderful bene? fit in cases of Chronic Dyspepsia, Constipation, Gravel, Gout, Scrofula, Cutaneous Affections, Gene lal Lethargy, Soreness, and Prostration of the sys? tem. The value of mineral waters has been prised and acknowledged by medical men since the earliest civilization. A celebrated authority says: "The vir? tues of mineral waters have been best shown in the treatment ot obscure and chronic diseases." Agent for the Saratoga "A" Spring Water, JOHN F. HENRY.
