LONDON, Soptcmb3r 10.-Tho Times to-day
in H an arl icio on tbe subjoet of Sieklos' noto to
the Spanish Qovornment, in which it says it is
hardly crodiblo that A mer ici contcmpfScdS thc
recognition of Cuba. While Spain has little to
loss, excopt the island, owing to tho confuaing
prospect of war, and its damaging effects on
ber cimitiere o and ? nancy, she admits she muet
nltimitely conacut to abandon Cuba.
The Telegraph has an article on tho aamo
subj jct, saying: "Amurioan action with re
Bpeot to Oubi ?B tho aamo that Km; land was so
much blamed for, tbough tho cases are not
precisely parallel. Tbe Cubans arc absolutely
without strength, without civil or military or?
ganization, and without an established gov?
ernment. If tho Americans vindicate thoir ac?
tion by tho plea that they cannot remain indif?
ferent to tho struggles of a friendly people for
freedom and independence, then England in
3801 acted in a manner tho Americans now em?
phatically aauction. Looking at the contro?
versy in its broadest view, woaball scarcely bc
displeased to soo Amor io? tako a step which'
the world wonld regard as a conspicuous ex?
culpation of England from responsibility to
America."
Tbe Daily News says : " The rumor is afloat
that tho proposed pur o h aa 3 of Cuba by tho
United States bas found a powerful friend in
the Spanish adm lui ut rat ion, It la difficult to
perceive, if the robeilim is auppreaaed in
Cub i, bow a material cbango can be effected
amid the defiant and subjugated population. If
the rumors bave any foundation, these con?
siderations may possibly moline this powerful
leader to listen favorably to the offtr from the
United States. Though his advooacy may ob?
tain great forco with other membsra of tbs
government and with the people, the interests
of England and Franco in tho West Indies are
scarcely inferior to thoss of tho United Fti.it? H,
and thoy will have their say before tue settle- '
mont will be regarded as final."
Tbe Times has another article to-day on the
cotton trade and supply. It says: "lhere
was a time when tho intelligence of a good
supply of cotton in tho United States would
bave tarried satisfactory assurance to the
manufacturers and workingmen of Lmoa9hire.
Tbe Budden destruction of tbe old cotton
trade baa been atte oded with the dos t ruc tic o
of the old conditions. Tbinga are no longer as
thoy were. Though the cotton supply bas
ooma back again, new fields and factories have
been opened, some ander the shelter of pro?
tection, aud some in a more natural atmos?
phere. A more extensive demand for the raw
mntciial raises the price, and that rise deprives
ns of the conditions essential to the superiority
wo onco maintained."
John Bright says in a letter a good harvest will
tend to restore health to the ?general trad a of
the country, and when wo have A sufficient
supply of cotton, Lancashire will recover from
ber distressed condition. It is moro cotton
we want, and not more laxes ou importa. I
suspect the people of Linctshire will not fail
to understand tbis.
Thu Times to-day has an editorial on thc re?
sult of the international rowing match. Tho
writer asks iT the admission of a coxswain does
not counterbalance tbe woigbt in tbe boat?
If not, the American system ol rowing ia the
best. He regrets that the question was untried,
but considers that tbe Harvards lavo no ad?
vantage over the Oxfords. With a coxswain

matou is accepted, both crews will row in their

in tbe lato race, it would have been quito as
fair and more instructive. He considers it
hurd, however, to pick holes in a rico so well
contested sod BO gallantly won.

THE COAL MINE HOLOCAUST.
A Connected Account or tbe Horrible
Affair.
The story of thc l'eu uti 1 vania disabler growd
miro nnd moro horrible as tho details aro
gradually brought to light. Tbcrc is a part of
i. the cloding moments ot tho a win I agony of
thoso two hundred mon-which c tn never bo
described. Even tho manner in which tho
catastrophe originated is mainly a matter of
conjecture. In all human probability, not ono
of that wretched company survivei to tell tbe
secrets of their prison-house, and so to tbo
actual horrors of suffering and death is added
tho gloom Of an impenetrable mystery. Thc
New York Tribune sums up tho facts in thc
following clear and connected narrative;
Tho colliery in which this torrible accidont
occured is ontered by a perpendicular shaft,
327 feet deep, on tho side of a mountain.
From tho bottom of it, 40 feet heluw'the sur?
face of the valley, run two main galleries,
sloping upward, ont 600 aird the oth'ir 12?0
feet tong. Smaller passagoe aud chambers, &9
tn number, branch off from those, lhere is no
access to the open air except by this single
hhnft, which had to serve ail tho purposes of
a hoist-way for the workmen and tue coal, and
a channel tor tho ventilating current whiLa in
all minos must be constantly forced hy mv
chinery through the various galleries and
drifts. The aides of tbe ebafl were built up
with wooden supports, and a wooden partition
ran perpendicularly through its whole length,
dividing it into two passages, one for the up?
ward, the other for the downward current.
Bight over its mouth stood a great wood?
en building, containing the machinery for
hoisting and for breaking, Bortintr and eleoning
the coal. To assist in creating a current of
air a fire was always kept burning in a furnace
at tho foot of tho shaft, and from this il is
supposed the wood-work munt have caught.
On Monday morning two hundred men went
down that shaft to resume work after a long
strike. They wore followed, about 9 o'clock,
'by one of the mule-tendors, with hay for hu
beasts. As he reached the bottom he was
ne ird to cry "Firel" but what bo saw we
never oball know, for in an instant a fierce col?
umn of flame rushed up the shaft, caught
the bleaker as if that bad been a house of pa?
per, and wrappod the whole structure in
eheots of fire. The month of the pit belch?
ed forth destruction. Hundreds of tons of
coal in the sbutes and bina were soon In a
white glow, and dropped with the falling
beams into the shaft. It waa seven or eight
hours before the engines whioh wore har?
ried to the scene of disaster from all the
neighboring towns succeeded in extinguishing
tho burning mass. Workmen had flocked to
t he spot from the entire mining region, for it
was known that tao hundred of their brethren
were imprisoned among the deadly vapors of
that awf al pit. The rubbish was cleared sway
fr rai thc mouth, and fifty experienced min?is
voluntercd to attempt tho descent. It was
no? about 6 in the evening. To test tho puri?
ty of the air a dog and a lighted lamp were first
lowered into tbe Bbaft as far as they would go.
At the end of five minutes they wore dravo np,
the dog was alive, tbo Ump still burning. A
miner named Charles Virtue then ?out down
to reconnoitre, but about half way from the
bottom he found the shaft blocked with fallon
timbers. Two fresh volunteers wore thon low?
ered with hatchets. After twenty minutes
thoy were drawn up again, faint And breathless.
They bad penetrated sevciLy or eighty yards
into a gangway, finding tore a dead mules, and
coming at last to a closed door. They barn?
mered at it and wailed for an answering
souud, but no answer carno, and through tho
crevices poured clouds of sulphurous vapor
the fatal "black damp." Several other parties,
in the course of the evening and night, made
al to tn nts to pen?trate Inti tho gangways, but
with little more success, Few could remain
moro than five or six minutes, and when
drawn up they were all speechless SDI! ex?
hausted. Hoverai w?re brought baok by their
companions entirely insensible. Two brave
fellows. Daniel Jones and Thornie Williams,

placed in posit i'm to. foroy fresh sir into tho
mino. All day long parlies went down at In?
tervals, b?t the black damp drove them back,
and the fabe did not ,seem to gain upob lt
About four In the afternoon it was discovered
that tho fire at tho foo t of the shaft, whioh was
supposed to - bo entirely extinguished, had
been revived by tt e fresh current, and com?
municated with a mass of coal'lying near.
Thus the workmen had spinally boen accele?
rating tho generation of gas, and destroying
what little vestige "ot hope might-remain for
tbeir Imprisoned comrades. A shearn of water
was with some difficulty brought to play upon
tho flames, and the grotte? pert of the night
wa? devoted to the oppression of-the fire,
tbe o'oude of gas that came up tho shaft being
meanwhile ?o awful hat workmen at the month
were removed insensible. Between two and
three o'clock on Wednesday morning two bodies
wore found, both fearfully disfigured aod un?
recognizable. Abiut 6:80 a party of four suc?
ceeded tn p?n?trai cr? some di a ta nco into one
of the principal a?llorjcs, and came upon the
bodies or over sixty more ?here they had mot

with their faces buried in tho ground, soma in

Mot a alick of wood should bo uiod m Buch

tba eqatpmeot of a minn lt certainly can bo.
And tust there was not a separate shaft for
ventilation is simply monstrous. Tbs minors
are said to declare (bat not another day's work
shall he done In any mine whioh has not a ven-'
tilaliog shaft. Doubtless tboy are in earnest,
but we have no oonfidenoo that thoir resolution
wou'dbekept. The most reckless of men are
always those whose occupations aro most peril?
lo us. Miners wo know are not ignorant of thoir
danger. Mine-owners are not heirtless. Bat
both manifest a propensity to run fearful risks,
which seems to us entirely inexplicable. If
mon are tho victims of suob suicidal tenden?
cies, it is tho duty of the government to pro?
tect them against thoir own folly.

At nine o'clock on Friday morning last, Jesse
Watkins was bung in the jail-yard of Sa?
vannah, for the murder of a little white boy
named Charlie Wilson.
About tao first of 8oplemb3r, 1868, Charlie
went out bunting, and wben about two milos
from Savannah come suddenly upon Josie and
anothor negro, who had gone ont to kill a cow.
Jesse, without any provooatiou whatever, shot
Cbarlio dead with a muskot bo bad; then bid
tho body in tbe bushes, and carried off tho de

Bis body was not found for three days, al?
though over a hundred porsons wera oat
searching for him. About two month's aftor
tho murder, Jesse'e oompauion tamed State's
evidence. AB tho case was carried through
tho various courts, other evidonco was intro?
duced, which fully cstab?Bhod tho guilt of the
accused, and ir. May last Judge richley, of the
Superior Court, sentencod bim to bo hung.
The cashier of the freedman's liuroan in Sa?
vannah interested himself very much in col?
lecting testimony to provo tin innocence of
Jesse, after he bad been sentenced. Ile in

Bat on last Thursday tho Governor, by telo

The scaffold was lu tho jail yard, to which
only the clergy and tho reporters wero at first
admitted, bat after awbilo ibo officers con?
sented th -it tho crowd outside should come in.
Bov. Fa thora Hamilton and Laugareo officiated.
Who ii tbo o rosa, tho sacred emblem ot tho re?
ligion bo had professed, was bo!d up to him.
hu pressed bis lips upon it wi b a z uil, for tbe
niomoot, oblivious of all other circumstances
or surroundings. Father Hamilton thou wbiB
puted tho lait words in bis oar and bidding
him good byo, to which Jesse reap anded with
muon leoline, descended a few steps and ad?
dressed thc spectators, saying: " The unfor?
tunate man who ii now about to moot his God
desi res me lo say that bo dies truly sorry for
all bis Bins; that tie bas prayed for you all, and
as bis soul goes into eternity, he desires each
of you to say a abort prayer for its reposo.
While Father Hamilton was speaking every hat
was raised lu solemn and rospocttul attention.
Just befo ro adj Haunt; tho Cap, Sheriff Doouer
asked, '-Jesse have von anything you wish to
say to those present ?" After a moment's-hes?
itation, the condemned man stepped for wai d a
few inches and replied, '?es, sir, 1 will say a
few words;" then to the crowd-"Gentlemen,
this ls a solemn occasion. I feat that it is God's

have praved for him."
Aftor the speech, the cap and noose were ad?
justed, the stepB takon away, and the sheriff
askod, "Jesse, are yon ready?" to which he
replied, in a load, firm voice, "yes, tiri" The
fatal hatchet fell, severing with one blow the
oord that held up the trap. With a quick,
sharp fall, and a dull thug, the body bung sus?
pended in mid-air, while the terrible struggle
with death began. Thou rh the fall was fully
so ven foot, it failed to break tbe victim's neck,
and death ensued from strangulation. For a
fow seconds, not the least motion waa percepti?
ble; then tue arms drew up, tightening the
rope upon them almost to breaking the skin;
two or three violent efforts to expand the lunga
were followed by a drawing up of the lower
limbs, then ail was still, and in t vo minutos,
to external appearance, the spirit of Jesse
Watkins had left thc body forever. The heart
still beat, however, full and strong. At the
expiration of ten minutes, tho heart waa still
bsating at tbe rate of forty pulsations to the
minute. Five minutes more'passed, and the
surgeons pronounced life extinot.
TUE LAST OF TUE BOAT MACE.
What Charle i Reade says A tua ut lt.
Nearly all the Mew York papers contain long
accounts of the Harvard-Oxford baal raco,
famished by their London corresponden 's.
Mr. M. D. Conway sends to the World a three
column lotter, very graphie in its descriptions,
and in all respects exceedingly interesting.
Mr. Smalley'a Tribuno letter fl quite naturally
in the "7. told you so" strain, but possesses a
strong point of interest in the shape of a letter
from Mr. Charles Reade. The eminent novelist
writes:
It could hardly be believed in Ibo United
Slates to what an extent I, an Oxford man,
aympathfzo with your gallant fellows. But I
send you my observations.
Tho Haivcrd boat goes down a lil Ho by the
head. As she faced the tide, coming to start,
tho water nearly ran over lier. The crew wero
not in high condition generally. I have long
seen tbis with regret. But lt is a point on
which they wore touchey, and could not ap?
proach it without offence. Proofs-Boil on Lo
ring's nook, bloodless hps, especially of Sim?
mons, and ? general want of that sprightliness
that retults from high condition. They were,
however, hard in muscle-harder than the Ox?
ford crew. Yot Simmons had diarrhea? on the
day and lor-forty-eigbt hours pieviously.
Io tho raco, Ox lord did not wait for them as
they sometimes do for Cambridge, but pulled
all they knew from tho first. A little above
Hammersmith bridge they were distressed,
but got second wind afterward. Their beauti?
ful finish, as shown in pr?otioc, diappeared in
the noe, and little remained of their form but
their trae time, tho quick advanco of the aims,
and the keen catch at first of the stroke, which
have won thom the day so of ton. Harvard
pulled tho handsomer stroke of the two. N.
B.-In practicing, just the reverse. lho ridicu?
lous theory of the London press is answered by
this, that Harvard kopi (be same form in prac?
tice and in the struggle. Oxford did not.
Those remarks are at your service. I think
you may rely upon their accuracy. A i to the
dip forward of boats, my opinion was s bared to
the fall by a distinguished oarsman, with whom
I compared notes, with tho craft and ber beha?
vior In sight. Yours, voiy sin cor ely,
CHARLE? RHADE.
London, Augast 28.
. Tbe other accounts simply tell the story of
tho raco, going over the ground which ocr own
columns have made familiar to our readers.

The Walhalla Connor having ?Lated that the

"In thia our contemporary ia mistaken. It was
first applied on thia circuit in the manner
stated, but the scheme originated io Bdgefleld
two or tbreo yoars ago when debts woro scaled
at twenty-five to thirty cents on the dollar.

ANCE COMPANY, ATLANTA DEPARTMENT.
TothtPtopl'. cff South Carolina:
The above Company was organ zed in 1806, in
consequence of tho wholesale forfeiture of Southern
policies by Northern companies. The unparalleled
success of the enterprise has forced several ot these
companies to restore their Kout -era policies, from
the fact that they could not operate In our midst
without the appearance of bonce ty.
We keep all onr monoy at home to build up our
Impoverished country-every dollar of premium
being safely Invested lo tbe Btate from which lt is de?
rived. The institution is purely Southern, and hence
should appeal with great force to the patriotism and
and sympathy of every Southern heart.
'Tia not our parp?te to make war on other com?
panies, but to exhibit the special ad vant,gea offered
by this purely Southern Company-founded cn
patriotism and solid wealth. Its ratio of assets to
liabilities-the true test of a company'? strength-ls
second to none on this continent, being nearly ?300
to $100.
Whenever and wherever wc have presented the
claims of this Company, it has not only enlisted the
aympathlea of our people, bnt haa also secured their
hearty co-operation. We have secured 600 policies
in South Carolina since the 10th of February. We
number among our Directors General Wade Hamp?
ton and colonel Wm. Johnston, gentlemen well
known to every cilizbn of South Carolina. We ap?
peal personally to ibo people of Eoatb Carolina to
aaalat in pushing forward thia deservedly popular
Southern institution. J. H. MILLER,
